GOLDEN PEAK OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
Vail Associatcs, Inc. ("VA") has frled an application to amend the Approved
Development Plan for the Golden Peak Base Facility. The amendments includc
revisions to vehicular parking on the site, the design and function of both public
skier and Children's Center drop off, as well as alterations to employee parking, lift
capacity, end ski base operations. In the course of the submittal, VA has madc
certain representations regarding the physical site plan and thc operations of the
portel. The Town of Vail Department of Community Devetopment has requested
elaboration. This plan expands upon end supplements the application and, to the
cxtent it is inconsistent with the application, supplants it.
This Golden Peak Management Plan is intended to enhance the experienccs
of guests to Vail and of the residents of the Golden Peak neighborhood in a manner
consistent with the goals and objectives of the agreement between the Town of Vail
f'TOV') and Vail Associates to manage peak periods in this resort community. In
effect, the measures proposed in this plan are means of managing or controlling the
demands upon the Golden Peak portal and the impacts upon its surrounding
infrastructure. The concepts and principles of the Program To Manage Peak
Periods Agreement (the "Agreement") between TOV and VA are therefore
incoraorated by reference into this management plan.
I
A reality that must be recognized in examining the creation of infrastructure
and operational systems for Goldcn Peak or Vail at large is that both the ski
company and the greater Vail community are engaged in the winter and summer
resort business. For reasons beyond the complete control of the community the
demands for and use of resort goods and serrices will always be subject to specific or
isolated events such as the Christmas holiday or a world class competitive or
cultural event. Events such as these will by necessity mean that Vail will erperience
surges or peaks of visitor use that may be mitigated, but will not be entirely
overcome or eliminated by investment in hard assets. To the extcnt that such high
demand events tar the capacity of our systems and our collective patiencg we must
also acknowledge that these events, if well maneged, are also what give us life,
vitality, excitement and special appeal.
It is the elfort to "manage well" that leads to the creation of this plan. In its
application VA has proposed significant physical improvements to the Golden Peak
portal. These include:
- doubling the skier drop offzone capacities;
- improving drop ofTflow end function;
- giving locational primacy to public transit;
- structuring and landscaping private auto parking;
- improving lift eccess to balance portal use across the Village; and
- improving bese lodge facilities for the guest and local alike.
This major investment in hard assets satisfies to the highest degrec possible thc
programmatic requirements of the Golden Peak project's planning professionals.
The proposed management techniques which follow are meant to be flexible
guidelines and dynamic tools which may be altered, revised, enhanced, or even
eliminated over time as needs require to *manage welt'. And, while these
techniques are described in terms of VA or TOV responsibilities, it must be noted
that others, the greater Vail community and each and every Golden Peak neighbor,
must likewise contributg act responsibly and treat others equitably in managing or
mitigating the impacts of use, growth and congestion during peak periods within
our community.
For their parts, pursuant to the Agreement, both VA and TOV have
immediate responsibilities to undertake growth management measures. Section III
(pages 11-16) of the Agreement outlines these immediate responsibilities under Tier
I of the Plan. VA's obligations include m€asures which might mitigatc impacts at
Golden Peak such as providing bus passes to appropriate employees for use on the
Town of Veil system, encouraging carpooling, and pursuing Park and Ride sites for
employees. TOV's obligations, set forth in the Agreement, include controlling peak
trallic and parking issues, productive management of tralfic circulation and parking
systems, creative allocation of the bus senice, effective utilization of law
enforcement perronnel, and better distribution of skiers to different basc aree
facilities.
o
For these purposes it is pertinent to note that in the Agreement "Peak
Periods" are defined as:
Christmas Peak:
December 3l;
and
That period which extends between December 26 and
High Season: That period which includes Presidents' Weekend and each
weekend beginning the third weekend in February through the end of
March.
"Nonpeak Periods'are defined as:
Those periods falling outside of the Christmas Peak and High Season and
which normally include the early ski season, Thanksgiving, the pre.
Christmas Period, the January to mid-February period, and the late ski
season.
Another pertinent concept in the Managed Growth Agreement is the
benchmark capacity of the mountain which has been defined as 191900 skiers at one
time ("SAOT"). The theory behind the Managed Growth Agreement is to
implement tiers of manag€ment techniques to control infrastructure demands and
operations at or below the 19,900 SAOT threshold. An additional factor for
consideration is the design day standard for Golden Peak planning studies and
infrastructure assessment which is 15,000 SAOT, a typical skier day count for the
current Christmas Pealc The physicat infrastructure of Golden Peak is designed to
accommodate th€ portal dcmands of a 15,000 SAOT event.
The Assessment Committee, described in Section VI of the Agreement, is the
entity charged with monitoring, evaluating, and refining the operations of the
community management plan. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Assessment
Committee is likewise charged with this responsibility, but it is understood that for
these purposes the Assessment Committec may delegate its review function to the
Vail Transpor.tation Task Force or other designee and shall include representatives
ofthe affected Golden Peak neighborhood in the review process.
The project components or elements which might be considered for tiered
management techniques at Golden Peak include the following: (a) Managed
Parking Structure; (b) Public Skier and Children's Center Drop-off Areas; (c)
Employee Parking; (d) Mountain Operations; (e) Local and Community Programs,
such as DEVO; (f) Ski Club Vail Activities; (g) Adult and Children's Ski School; (h)
Loading, Delivcry and Trash Removal; (i) Snow Management; (i) Ticketing; and (k)
Special Events.
II. MANAGEDPARISNGSTRUCTURE
The Approved Development Plan of l9E4 depicted 130 surface perking
spaces, primarily located on the north side of Tract F along Vail Valley Drive for all
varieties of users of this particular portal and 6 interior parking spaces for the
residential condominiums. The Children's Center plan of 19EE required 12 spaces.
t
Taken together these total 148 spaces for drop off and parking. Presently the
surface lot existing at Golden Peak holds approximately 150 automobiles or less
depending on the amount of snow storage on the lot and the elliciencies of car
storagc Of these 150 spaces roughly 18-20 are used by employees; Spraddle Creek
Property Owners r€senye and utilize E spaces; 4 spaces are used for Cross Country
Ski Van pick-up and drop-off; and approximately llE spaces are available for use
by the skiing public for a fm.
Parking requirements for the Ski Base/Recreation District are addressed in
Section 1E.39.230 of the Vail Ordinances which reads:
"Off-strect parking shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 18.52
and/or as specified on the Approved Development Plan."(emphasis supplied)
The language of this section permits and contemplates a parking function and
design unique to this district and its development plan. In response to this unique
environment the parking structure proposed in this plan consists of 14E parking
spaces (including 5 handicapped or ADA spaces) located at or below the street
elevation and lrndscaped across the top to provide an aesthetic benefit to the
development and the surrounding neighborhood. The fundamental concept ofthe
organization and management of thcse parking spaces, the equivalent of a Ticr I
management technique, is to create a managed or reserved "right to park'
mechanism designed to control the availability and use of the spaces and hence cut
down on indiscriminatc trallic flows while providing for and paying for the aesthetic
I
benefits of the landscaped structure. The mechanism formulated to provide this
managed parking product to the public is a non-equity club or association of up to
500 members who would have the right to park in this structure for a fec. Two tiers
of membership in the associetion ere contemplated. The first tier would consist of
up to 75 members who would have a right to park in an identified reserved parking
space. The second tier of memben would be up to 450 people who have e right to
park in the structure based upon a monitored and computer controlled reservations
sy$em. It is thc intcnt of the applicant to initially offer 75 first tier and 200 second
tier memberships to the public. Parking memberships would be sold in the fall of
1995 contingent upon final approvat of the Golden Peak Base Fecility Project by the
Town of Vail and sullicient subscriptions to commence construction of the parking
structure in the spring of 1996, but no later than spring oI1997. In the event that
thc necessary subscriptions are not forthcoming to commence construction in 1997,
VAI will initiate discussions with the Town Council concerning payment in lieu of
parking alternatives.
The fint tier member would securc a right to use a particular parking space
on e year-round basis. Hence, the ratio of lirst tier members to parking spaces
reserved for thcir use would be I to 1. The second tier members would have a yerr-
round right to use a parking space based upon availability and prior reservation'
monitored by e computerized rotation system to insure equitable and optimized use.
The initial olfering of second tier memberships would constitute a ratio of
o
approrimately 2 members to evela parking space. These members would call the
parking manager more than 24-hours in advance to reserve their use of avaitable
spaces. A resenation list from among the members would be compiled daily for the
managcment of entry access by personnel stationed in the attendant booth at the
entry to the structure. Access into the structure would be permitted upon
presentation of a photo I.D. identifying the bearer as a member and a confirmetion
of a resened parking space on the parking availability list.
In the event that all parking spaces are not fully reserved and utilized by the
club members, VA, as operator of the facility, reseryes the right et any time of the
year to utilize unreserved spaces for other guests, members of the skiing public,
employees or other penons who likewise must call and reserve a space less than 24-
hours in advance. This short-notice use by non-memben would be peroritted only
on a daily basis by reservation. However, this managed operationel feature would
expand the available user groups and increase the utilization ofthe structure in non-
peak periods without adding appreciable, unwanted traflic. Further, if the utility of
the structure can be maximized by offering additional memberships for salc, VA will
do so after the first year of operation establishes typical occupancies.
Itr. SKMR DROP OFF
Skicr drop off occurs presently on the east side of the existing Goldcn Peak
structure and immediately to the north of the Children's Center. Existing
conditions provide for 2l head-in spaces adjacent to the Children's Center and 10
o
parallel, or active parking spaces, in a loop drop-off area for the general public,
totaling 31 spaces currenfly dedicated to all drop-offfunctions. The proposed plan
nearfy doubles this capacity by providing for 30 head-in spaces dedicated to
Children's Center drop off and 29 spaces for general skier drop off north of the
proposed building, totaling 59 spaces for skier drop offat this portal.
(A.) Tier I. Managemcnt measures to be undertaken in a sequential fashion
concurrently with redevelopment include:
1. During the Christmas Peak period and Presidcnts' Weekend VA will
staff the General Skier and Children's Center drop off zones with 4 to 6
people, sptit between the drop offzones as tralfic needs demand, during peak
arrivd and departure hours or approximately from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and 3
p.m. to 4:30 p.m. These trallic manag€n will direct trallic, assist and
expedite the loeding end unloading of passengen and equipmeng encourage
the timely and swift departure of vehicles, and enforce restrictions against
unauthorized parking by calling for the removal or towing of offending
vehicles.
2. During the Eigh Season period VA will stall the General Skier and
Children's drop offzones with 2 to 4 pmple, split between the zones as traflic
needs demand during peak arrival and dcparture hours.
3. During non-peak periods and during evening or night hours the drop off
zones would be staffed or managed upon the operational discretion of VA as
l0
may be needed to prevent congestion or vehicle stacking into Vail Valley
Drive or the bus lane. During these periods and times, except for special
events, VA wilt permit parking by the general public in the dropolf zone
surface spaces consistent with the practice and use of other VA parking lots
such as North Day lot.
4. Permanent, static, signage at the top of Blue Cow Chute will be installed
by TOV indicating that there is no public parking at Golden Peak and that
only Children's Center and skier drop off is permitted.
5. In Section V (page 25) ofthe Agreement additional skier drop olf zones
have been identified as "pressing current transportation and circulation
nceds". VA will therefore cooperate with the TOV in identifying edditional
skier drop off zones elsewhere in the town inctuding Ford Perh the Main
Parking Structure, Lionshead, and other locations which will be formalized
and improved by the Town of Vail. Initially TOV will develop and
implement a plan for general skier drop on the upper deck of the
Transportation Center utilizing existing physical improvements and facilities.
6. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and ski season the Assessment
Committee or its designee, will specifically assess access to and egress from
the mountain at Golden Peak" together with trallic and drop off impacts
associated with the skier movements and will make recommendations for
ll
adjustm€nts or improvemenb to the Tier I management techniques
described above.
(8.) Tier IL In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques above have been implemented and traflic congestion in the drop
off zones still results in vehicle stacking into the street or bus lancs to a
degree detrimental to the ordinary operation of the infrastructure, tlen the
following successive managem€nt efforts will be undertaken in the next
succeeding ski season:
1. VA and/or TOV will implement additional Tier I techniques which heve
not yet been employed or will enhance those Tier I techniques already in use
according to the recommendations of the Assessment Committee.
2. TOV, pursuant to its general obligations in the Agreem€nt to implement
pro-active manegement efforts in coordination with VA to control tralliq will
increme utilization of law enforcement personnel during peak periods in the
management of traffic at Golden Peak (Section Itr. A.2. a., page 13).
3. Based upon the impacts of traflic congestion and as transportation needs
demand, TOV will implement an clcctronic signage program which would
display messages on the town arterials regarding traffic conditions within the
town parking garages, drop off zone trallic status conditions and lift maze
conditions rt the base portals.
12
fV:EMPLOYEE PARKING
Presently lE to 20 VA employees park at Golden Peak of the approximately
500 employees who are based there in Peak Periods. Another 25 to 30 spaces are
seasonally leased by VA from third parties for employee parking. The remaining
90Vo of Golden Peak based employees park in public lots, use public transit, or use
other private parking spots.
(A.) TI9LI. The following management techniques will be implemented
sequentially upon redevelopment to mitigate employee transportation
impacts and serve the needs of the community's employees:
1. VA, together with TOV, will enter into negotiations with the Colorado
Department of Transportation to secure, if possible, an employee park and
ride intercept lot on Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail. This lot would be used for VA
and TOV employees to park their vehicles in Eagle-Yail and utilize
established public transportation routes to continue on to their job locations
in Vail. In the event the CDOT site is not available or unsuitable, other sites
will be located and secured for a park and ride lot.
2. To the extent space availability exists during non-peak periods, V. A. will
permit managed employee parking by reservation in the parking structure at
Golden Peak
l3
3. During Peak Periods VA employees will carpool to the soccer field lot
pursuant to the Holiday Trallic and Parking Plan es managed and operated
by TOV or alternatively as managed by VA.
4. During the Christmas peak period and, in fact, extending beyond it from
Decembcr 24 until Jrnuary I in eny given year, VA will implement its
Holiday Traflic and Parking Plan. During this period VA will provide free
bus tickets for the Avon/Seaver Creek bus system to alt Golden Peak based
staff. Parking in VA lots such as West Day Lot and North Day Lot, will be
available for free to employees who carpool. Employees not caraooling will
be charged e fee.
5. VA will add the Eoly Cross Lot to its parking inventory for peak-period
employee carpooling.
6. As necessarT, VA will assign employees calpooling locations in particular
lots among the West Day, North Day and Holy Cross properties and manage
entry access into these properties.
7. VA will lease 20 parking spaces from a third party or, alternatively,
purchase 20 *blue" parking passes from the TOV for parking in the town
structures.
8. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and the ski scason, the
Assessment Committee or its designee will monitor the Tier I techniques
l4
v.
described above, assess the operational results, and make recommendations
for alterations or enhancements to the plan.
(8.) Tier II. In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques have been implemented and employee parking and transit is still a
concern, additional methods of employee transit and parking will be
undertaken at the recommendation of the Assessment Committee or its
designee.
MOUNTAIN OPERATIONS
(A.) TlgtJ. Management measures to be undertaken during peak periods in
a sequential fashion concurrently with redevelopment include:
1. VA will extend its periods of mountain operations later into the day (e.g.
until 4:00 p.m.) to spread out the departure times of skiers from the
mountain.
2. Employee passes will be restricted during the Christmas Peak and
Presidentst weekend.
3. Improvements to thc food and beverage offering at the base facility
restaurant, including apres ski and dinner offerings, will be designcd to
attract the skiing public and stagger the public's departure from the portal .
4. VA will cooperate and coordinate with TOV and the Colorado
Department of Transportation regarding the installation of signage at base
facilities, including Golden Peako advising departing skiers of road conditions
l5
and, if conditions are advene, inviting or advising departing skiers to stay
later in the village and draw out their departure times.
5. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and the ski season the
Assessment Committee or its designee will assess mountain operation impacts
and make recommendations for adjustments or improvements to the Tier I
management techniques described above.
(8.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques have been implemented and congestion still exists in the portal
during peak periods, then the following successive management efforts will
be undertaken in the next succeeding ski season or Peak Period:
1. VA and/or TOV wilt implement additional Tier I measures which have
not yet been employed or will enhance those Tier I techniques already in use
according to the recommendations of the Assessment Committee or its
designee.
2. VA will continue to take operational measures to balance the
functionality and use of its portals, as well as on-mountain circulation.
DEVO/LOCAL AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
"DEVO" is an abbreviation for the Vail Development Team, a Children's Ski
School Program consisting of300 chitdren which offers specialized ski school classes
to the children of locals and front range skien. The high conccntration of locals
vI.
/I
l6
participating in thc program results in an inordinetely high drop off impact on non-
peak Saturdays which mimics peak conditions throughout the season.
(A.) IigI-! Measures to be sequentially undertaken concurrently with
redevelopment include:
l. The DEVO program does not run during the Christmas Peak or over
Presidents' Weekend. The program will continue to be limited in this
fashion.
2. Arrivals for the DEVO program will be staggered in edvance of the
typical ski school or mountain opening times. DEVO arrival witl be
scheduled for E:30 a.m., one-half hour prior to tift opening. Pick up witt
likewise be scheduled earlier than regular mountain closure.
3. Drop olf for DEVO will be formalized and managcd by DEVO instructors
in the Golden Peak skier drop olfzones to prevent stacking into the streets.
4. VA will investigete splitting the DEVO program further and basing some
portion of the program in Lionshead or staging it at other drop offzones.
For example, moving the Freestyle Program, approximately l57o of the
DEVO skiers, to another drop offzone such as the TOV structure will be
erplored and implemented if alternate drop offs are created. Staging DEVO
out of the Lionshead Teen Ccnter will also be explored with TOV, including
the creation of short-term, 30 minutc, dropolf and pick-up parking spacer in
the Lionshead Parking Structure.
/
t7
5. DEVO race events will be moved in whole or in part to other local courses.
6. Upon the conclusion of each ski season the Assessment Committee or its
designee will assess the impacts caused by the DEVO program and make
recommendations for adjustment or improvement to the Tier I techniques
described above.
(B.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I techniques have been
implemented and DEVO still adversely impacts portal congestion then the
following successive management efforts will be undertaken in the next ski
season or Peak Period:
1. DEVO will be relocated in part or in whole to other Vail Mountain
portals.
VII. SKI CLI'B VAIL
Ski Club Vail is a private, non-profit ski club which is not owned, operated,
or managed by VA. VA, however, provides on-mountain access for training and
racing events for Ski Club Vail. Ski Club Vail training accounts for approximately
60,000 gate starts per year and Ski Club Vail racing activities account for an
additional 15,000 gate starts per year. Generally racing activity, including Ski Club
Vail, runs from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and frequently occurs seven days per week
during the ski season.
l8
(A.) Tier I. Management measures to be taken concurrently with
redevelopment include:
1. Ski Club Vait programs will be coordinated with other special events, as
was done during the 1994/1995 season, to prevent overcrowding ofgroups in
the portal at any one time.
2. Start times for Ski Club Vail during peak periods and high season will be
coordinated so that Ski Club Vail arrival times will occur before the 9 a.m.
peak hour rush and will be terminated later in the afternoon to spread the
departure from the ski mountain.
3. VA will allow and encourage Ski Club Vail users to arrive and depart
using the General Skier DropoffZone.
4. Upon the conclusion of the ski season, the Assessment Committee or its
designee will monitor the Tier I techniques described above, assess the
impact of Ski Club Vail on the use and elliciencies of the portal and make
recommendations for alterations or enhancements to the plan.
(B.) Tier II. In the event that some or all of the Tier I measures have been
implemcnted and Ski Club Vail still poses logistical problems for the
optimized use of the portal, the recommendations of the Assessment
Committee or its designee will be implemented.
1. Ski Club Vail will be terminated in whole or in part in its use of the
Golden Peak race cours€s and base facilitv.
19
VIIL ADI]LT AND CHILDREN'S SKI SCHOOLS
The Golden Peak portal is somewhat unique in that it supports a full
children's ski school, including nursery, as well as the adult ski school.
Approximately 371000 ski school students per season, or an averag e 264 per day, are
serviced at this portal. The size and scope of ski school activities in the portal are
naturally constrained by the size of the base area facilities. The Children's Ski
School in particular is functionally timited by the building size and the ski yard
available for introductor'5r children's classes.
(A.) Tier I. Management measur€s to be undertaken in a sequential fashion
concurrenfly with redevelopment include:
1. Ski school clesses will be coordinated with moming arrivals of other
special user groups so that ski school classes will sequentially follow thc
arrival times ofothcr groups and activities and spread out portal arrivals.
2. VA will emphasize I "one stop shop" of lessons and equipment, including
overnight storage, which will reduce the need for arrival by private
automobile as wcll as reduce dwell times of automobiles which do arrivc for
drop off.
3. VA will promote in its marketing materials the convenience of public
transit which seivices the area.
4. VA will explore the implementation of telephone or electronic
preregistration in ski school, including the Children's Ski School, in an effort
^/
20
to cut down the dwell times of automobiles dropping skiers off for ski school
registration.
5. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and the ski season, the
Assessment Committee or its designee will assess congestion in the portal
related to ski school activities and make recommendations for adjustments or
improvements to the Tier I management techniques discussed above.
(B.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques have been implemented and congestion associated with the ski
schools still results in crowding in the portal then the following additional
made by the
the following
management steps will be sequentially implemented:
1. The recommendations for improvements or adjustments
Assessment Committee or its designee will be instituted in
season or Peak Period.
D(.
2. VA will make improvements to its Lionshead Ski School facilities upon the
redevelopment ofthat portal taking pressure offofthe Golden Peak portal.
LOADING, DELTVERY AND TRASH REMOVAL
The Golden Peak Base Facility requires the delivery of food and liquor for its
restaurant operations and trash and recycling pick-up for all functions located at
Golden Peak Curently, food and liquor delivery takes place daily between 6:00
a.m. and 7:00 a.m. and again between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The majority of
/
2l
food and liquor deliveries are first sorted out at the Gondola Building in Lionshead,
then delivered to Golden Peak by VA employees.
Currently, there is no formal loading dock at Goldcn Peak which results in
the need for two (2) daily food and liquor delivery trips. In addition, there is a trash
compactor at Golden Peak currently which results in the need for daily trash
collection at 7:00 a.m.. Recycling pick-up is done by VA and occurs as needed
concurrently with food and liquor drop-olf. It is estimated that current delivety
times will remain the same to avoid interference with skier trallic, though the
addition of a formal loading area and storage may reduce the number of daily
delivery trips by VA from two (2) to one (f). The addition of a trash compactor at
Golden Peak should reduce the frequency of daily trips required for trash pick-up.
(A.) I!er-I. Measures to be undertaken concurrently with redevelopment
include:
1. Delivery times will be managed so that no delivery or trash pick-up will
occur during the hours of E:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
2. The Assessment Comnittee witl review and assess truck deliveries and
service at the conclusion of each ski season and make recommendations for
alterations or improvements as necessarT.
(8.) Tier IL In the event that some or all of the above measures have been
implemented and if loading, detivery and/or trash removal results in
22
operational inefliciencies in the portal then the following management
techniques will be implemented in the next succeeding ski season:
1. The recommendations of the Assessment Committee will be implemented.
2. VA will endeavor to deliver larger loads directly to Golden Peak and store
additional food and beverage on site thus reducing the number of trips or
will anange night delivery to avoid traffic congestion.
SNOW MANAGEMENT
Snow management at Golden Peak will be conducted in e manner similar to
that in other VA portals. Snow storage zones have been depicted upon the revised
snow storage map prepared and submitted with the Application.
(A.) Tier I. The following menagement efforts will be undertaken with
respect to snow storege and management during the ski season, including
peak and high season periods.
1. VA will by contract with third parties or through its own forces plow all
areas of vehicular circulation as depicted on the Snow Mrnagement Plan by
6 a.m. everT morning upon a snowfall of 4 or more inches.
2. VA, through its own forces, will remove snow from sidewdks and plaza
areas depicted upon the Snow Management Plan by means of a bobcat, an
ATV and/or by hand between the hours of 7 and E:30 on all mornings
following a snowfall of 4 inches or more.
23
3. VA will store snow in temporarT snow storage areas within the drop off
zones and within two to seven days of a 4" snowfall will use loaders and
trucls to remove the snow stored there and transport it from the site.
Impacts on traffic congestion will determine the speed and frequency of
removal of snow from the temporary snow storage areas. VA will remove
snow immediately if snow storage results in congestion in the drop-off zones
causing auto stacking into the street.
4. At the end of each Peak Period and the ski season the Assessment
Committee or its designee will review snow removal performance during the
s€ason and, as nec€ssarJr make recommendations for adjustments or
improvements to the Tier I techniques described above.
@.) Tier IL In the event that some or all of the Tier I techniques designed to
manage snow have not effectively cleared the snow from the drop offzones or
other public areas and/or have impacted circulation on the public streets,
then VA will implement recommendations made by the Assessment
Committce or its designee.
SPECIAL EVENTS AND SKI RACING
Golden Peak is the site of many ski races and special events during the course
of a ski season. Typically thc racing season begins in mid-December and runs
through ear$ April. Training for ski racing can be broken down as follows: Ski
Club Vail generates 50,000 gat€ starts per y€ar; high school programs add 7,500
XL
24
gate starts per year; and corporate/club training events add 7,500 more starts per
year. Actual racing starts for these three user groups are approximately 151000 gate
starts per year for Ski Club Vail, with an additional 2,000 starts per year for local
high school programs, and 101000 starts per year for corporate and club racing.
These total roughly 102,000 gate starts p€r year and average 4.5 ski racing events
per week Daily activity for ski racing typically commences at 8:30 a.m. and
continues until 4:30 p.m. Of these race events two or three major televised events
occur each year, not all ofwhich are headquartered out of the Golden Peak coune.
These include the Pro Tour, FIS World Cup and North American Trophy Series
races. In 1999 the World Championships will be held at Vail and opening
ceremonies are scheduled for Golden Peak. Race starts and demand for training
space have been growing steadily for the past decade.
Special Events which occur at Golden Peak, in addition to the routine racing
programs, include various snowboarding events which draw typicatly 100 to 250
people, the U.S. Pro Tour which draws about 500 people, and Hot Winter Nights
events which draw 500 to 1000 people typically in February and March and up to
3000 people during the Christmas holiday.
(A.) Tier I. Management techniques already utilized and in place at Golden
Peak or which will be implement with redevelopment include:
25

re: Golden Peak Ski Base Redevelopment
Request to Amend and Partially Release Condition of Approval
Dear Jim:
As you know, one condition of approval of the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment plan
related to the finalization of streetscape irnprovement plans and review and approval by Public Works
and Community Development Departments. Specifically, this condition reads as follows:
4. The final streetscape/roadway/bus lane construction designs must
be reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Community Development
Deparfiients prior to issuance of a Building Permit for the project.
All plans have been submitted to Community Development and Public Works and Greg Hall
has exhaustively reviewed and commented upon these plans. Alpine Engineering has revised civil
engineering plans and submitted written narratives to respond to Greg's comments and it is the
Applicant's belief that there are no substantial constuction issues outstanding regarding the
sufficiency of the plans, with one important exception. The structural and civil engineering plans for
the pedestrian crossing at the Gore Creek Bridge are not resolved at this time.
The Applicant's schematic plans proposed an 8 foot wide pedestrian crossing on the west side
of the bridge so that a functional pedesfian path would be created from the parking structure to the
Golden Peak ski property conforming to the Town's Streetscape Plan. The original concept was to
cantilever a pedestrian bridge elernent off the west side of the bridge to accommodate this need.
Subsequent to approval we have undertaken structural studies to implement the schematic design
approved by Design Review Board in February. This schematic design contemplated the addition of a
precast consete "T' to the west side of the bridge to carry the pedestrian loads. Subsequent structural
study and design have revealed that the use of the "T' joined structurally to the existing bridge would
severely complicate the bridge construction and substantial foundation redesign would be required to
implement this solution. Apparently environmental and construction timing issues are likewise raised
by this design. Consequently, our engineers have drawn five or six bridge altematives, submitted
them to Public Works, and subsequently submitted them to our contractor for feasibility, cost,
construction timing review,
Though we are committed to resolving the bridge design issue and the timing of construction
of the pedestrian improvement over the bridge so that a path is ultimately completed over Gore Creek,
we do not anticipate that we will have these design issues resolved in a timely manner to pull our full
PO Box 959 . Avon, Colorado .81620 . phone 303 845 2535f fax 303 845 2555 €)
constuction pemlit and maintain constuction schedules for completion of the base building in
December, 1996. We therefore ask that the condition described above be amended and released as to
the bridge design. While we continue to pursue design resolution and detemrine appropriate
consfruction timing in conjunction and by agreement with the Deparment of Public Works,
Community Developmen! and the Town Manager, please place this matter before the Council for the
earliest opportunity of a hearing.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

RE: Golden Peak - Engineering Concems
Dear Jim:
Alpine Engineering has prepared a narrative response to the issues raised in Greg
Hall's memorandum dated November 10, 1995, most issues of which were discussed
and resolved at our meeting on January 31,1996. Kindly furd enclosed and attached
to this letter the Alpine Engineering response.
In addition to the comments made by Glenn Palmer I add the following:
E}N/IRONMENTAL AND DRAINAGE ISSUES :
Greg refers to a 1983 Hydro-Triad letter pointing out that a moderate
avalanche hazard has occurred infrequently on the southeastern
portion ofthe site. I believe Greg is actually referring to a copy of Joe
Macy's Environmental Hazard Report from the 1983-84 Golden Peak
submittal which I included in our submittal again last May. In that
document Joe noted that avalanches occasionally occuned on the
southeastem portion of the site. This was a reference to the extreme
southeastem portion of the 49 acre site, an area uphill of Northwoods
and Pinos Del Norte. Joe indicates that wet spring slides have
occurred high up the slopes in the Aspen trees as is common
throughout these areas in East Vail. To Joe's knowledge no
avalanche has occurred in this treed area and reached any of these
structures. He believes there is no danger and we have no experience
whatsoever of avalanches affecting the Building Site for this project.

SURVEY AND TITLE REPORT:
1. The two to three sheds located above the village ski trail crossing of
Mill Creek are old pump station and storage buildings for the trail
crew. Jim Roberts of Mountain Operations does not anticipate that
these buildings will be eliminated or altered in any way from their
current use.
2. The title report calls out an easement from Mill Creek which is not
shown according to Greg Hall. Upon examination the title report is
referring to the 1987 plat, ofwhich I am sure you have copies, which
does not explicitly call out for an easement for Mill Creek but merely
depicts the general location of the Mill Creek culvert on the map.
MANAGEMENTPLAN:
One blacklined and three clean copies of the revised Management Plan are
submitted together with this letter per the approval conditions of the Town
Council.
SITE, GRADING, EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND SNOW PLANS:
10. In our discussions with Greg Hall on January 31, 1996I indicated that
the applicant did not intend to widen the bike path on the south side of
the building to accommodate bikes as the grades from the path to the
plaza are such that bike travel can occur from the path to the
children's center or busstop entry sidewalk without using the ADA
ramp.
15. The condo courtyard parking has previously been revised to improve
auto access. These changes are reflected in plans issued subsequent to
November 10, 1995.

28. Snow and trash removal from this location would seem to be a matter
for the Applicant's maintenance staff to handle and not an issue for
the town engineer.
31. The stairs on the east side of the building do not need to be heated
because those stairs are of open grate design. The space below is
snow melted and drained per plan.
32,33.& 34, The snow storage areas have already been identified and
approved in the plan and the Applicant does not contemplate any
revisions at this time. We are beginning operational review for
plowing, snow storage and removal for next season.
37.,38.&44.The applicant signage plan has been removed from the
application package to be resubmitted separately.
39. The distibution of the increased pedestrian trips is based upon a
reasonable presumption by Design Workshop and we have no more
accurate information to offer.
BUILDING PLANS:
The items raised by Greg Hall concerning the building plans have either been
resolved on the civil drawings or are interior to the structures and not
requiring of a response to the town engineer.
STREETSCAPE PLANS:
l. Streetscape improvements have been placed on the most recent survey
to conecfly identi$ existing conditions.

Walk widths have been approved by the Town Council and will not
be revised at this point.
Design Review Board has directed us to place four lamps on the
bridge.
It is not the Applicants intention to widen the bridge itself beyond
increasing the foundation necessary to support a double T allowing
for widening of the pedestrian crossing of the bridge.
No comment. The issue is before DRB.
The Vorlaufer parking has been resolved on the current civil drawings.
Plans have been drawn to reflect road realignment or adjustrnent at the
Tivoli property.
The closure of the Rams Horn southem drive is not a concern or the
responsibility of the Applicant and will not be addressed by the
Applicant.
The Applicant does not propose nor has it been charged with the
responsibility of altering the existing walk at the Galton Lodge per the
councils approval at schematic plans.
The Applicant has designed to the required 20ft. minimum width
standard of Gore Creek drive and that is reflected on the plans.
Per the approval of the council the sidewalk on the east side of Vail
Valley Drive is not within the scope of work for the Applicant and
hence the Applicant proposes no change to the stream walk
connection.

Per approval by the council the Applicant has offered additional
design time by Design Workshop regarding the extension of the road
to the soccer field but is otherwise not changing the dimension of the
previously drawn schematics. The town may direct Design Workshop
as it chooses in further study of this road.
The Applicant does not intend to realign Gore Creek Drive east of
Vail Valley Drive and recognizes that the civil plan as shown does not
tie or die into existing curb or drive pavement. The plans will be
revised to reflect this conection.
The Applicant has made no effort to provide a new entry sign to Mill
Creek Circle.
Hanson Ranch Road will not be narrowed as a part of the Applicants
project.
See civil plans for treatrnent of the East Meadow Drive and pedestrian
crosswalk.
Traffic calming measures for Vail Valley Drive east of the children's
center are not the Applicants current responsibility.
Signage for the Frontage Road concerning Golden Peak parking will
be provided in a subsequent Design Review Board application.
Cost estimates are being prepared by Weitz Cohen for streetscape
improvements at this time.

Re: GoldenPeak Ski Base Facility
Dear Dan;
The Fire Deparhnent has reviewed the plans submitted for the building permit for
the above project.
flue to the lack of mechanical and electrical plans, we al'e unable to make a
complete review. Mechanical ventilation, fue sprinkler plans, fire alarm plans,
undergrmnd water zupplies, and related items were not included.
Ifthe applicant elects to proceed under "fast traclC'rules, we have no objection
with an excavation permit but the project should not even include the installation of the
undergrcnnd utilities until we get the rest of the information.
It appears there may be a problem on sheet c-6, with the water zupply for thg _
building *tney intenO on supplying a fire hydrant offof the 1ry3fsl'main supplying the fire
sprinklJr systern, zuch an arrangem€Nlt would tend to rob the fire sprinkler system if we
tried to nsi the fire hydrant. The plans are not clear enough to make a detemination.
Other ltrqrs:
1. It is apparent they will need a Knox Bo& minimum Model 4400 R.
2. The Fire Protection section is not included in the qpecifications.
4.Ihere was no reference to the requirement for an electrical shunt tip or exterior
I n 3. We could not find the location of the diesel tank for the emergency
,\J
disconnert.

5. sestion 16130, Part 1.0 General, l.l Description, F. , requires approval of the fire

better choice.
6. Seotion 16130, does not reflect requirements under ord25, Series 1991, requiring
waterflow devices be Class A-
7 . Sheet C-17 does not reflect sufficient detail to detemine compliance with VFD or

8. Sheet A-3.1 does not allow adequate coverage from standpipes. A fire hose cache
may be required in each stair (#'s 7 & 8) at Levell79.
9. Sheet A-7.1 does not se€m to allow room for the required fire standpipe given the

Once we receive more complete plans, we will be able to conrplete our review.

GOLDEN PEAK OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
L INTRODUCTION
Vail Associates, Inc. f'VA') has fited an application to amend the Approved
Development Plan for the Golden Peak Base Facility. The amendments include
revisions to vehicular parking on the site, the design and function of both public
skier and Children's Center drop off, as well as alterations to employee parking, lift
cepacity, and ski bese operations. In the course of the submittal, VA has made
certain representations regarding the physical site plan and the operations of the
portal. Thc Town of Vait Department of Community Development has requested
ehboration. This plan expands upon and supplements the epplication and' to the
extent it is inconsistent with the application' supplants it.
This Golden Peak Management Plan is intcnded to enhance the erperiences
of guests to Vail and of the residents of the Golden Peak neighborhood in a manner
consistent with the goals and objectives of the agreement between the Town of Vail
("TO\P') and Vail Associates to manage peak periods in this resort community. In
effect, the measur€s proposed in this plan are means of managing or controlling the
demands upon the Golden Peak portal and the impacts upon its surrounding
infrastructure. The concepts and principles of the Program To Manage Peak
Periods Agreement (the "Agreement") between TOV and VA are therefore
incorporated by reference into this management plan.
A reality that must be recognized in examining the creation of infrastructure
and operational systems for Golden Peak or Vail at large is that both the ski
company and the greater Vail community are engaged in the winter and summer
resort business. For reasons beyond the complete control of the community the
demands for and use of resort goods and services will always be subject to specific or
isolated events such as the Christmas holiday or a world class competitive or
cultural event. Events such as these will by necessity mean that Vail will experience
surg€s or peaks of visitor use that may be mitigated, but will not be entirely
overcome or eliminrted by investment in hard assets. To the extent that such high
demand events tax the capacity of our systems and our collective patiencg we must
also acknowledgc that these events, if well managed, are also what give us life,
vitelity, ercitement and special appeal.
It is the effort to "manege well" that leads to the creation of this plm. In its
application VA has proposed significant physicel improvements to the Golden Peak
portal. These include:
- doubling the skier drop offzone capacities;
- improving drop offflow and function;
- giving locational primacy to public transit;
- structuring and landscaping private auto parking;
- improving lift access to balance portal use across the Village; and
- improving base lodge facilities for the guest and local atike.
This major investment in hard assets satisfies to the highest degree possible the
programmatic requirements of the Golden Peak project's planning professionals.
The proposed management techniques which follow are meant to be llexible
guidelines and dynamic tools which may be altered, revised, enhanced, or eyen
eliminated over time as needs require to 'manage well". And, while these
techniques are described in terms of VA or TOV responsibilities, it must be noted
that others, the greater Vail community and each and every Golden Peak neighbor,
must likewise contribute, act responsibly and treat others equitably in managing or
mitigating the impacts of use, growth and congestion during peak periods within
our community.
For their parts, pursuant to the Agreement, both VA and TOV have
immediate responsibilities to undertake growth management measures. Section III
(pages 1l-16) of the Agreement outlines these immediate responsibilities under Tier
I of the Plan. VA's obligations include measures which might mitigate impacts at
Golden Peak such as providing bus passes to appropriate employees for use on the
Town of VaiI system, encouraging carpooling, and pursuing Park and Ridc sites for
employees. TOV's obligations, set forth in the Agreement, include controlling peak
traflic and parking issues, productive management of traffic circulation and parking
systems, creative allocation of the bus service, effective utilization of law
enforcement personnel, and better distribution of skiers to different base area
facilities.
For these purposes it is pertinent to note that in the Agreement "Peak
Periods" are delined as:
Christmas Peak That period which extends between December 26
December 31;
and
and
High Season: That period which includes Presidents' Weekend and each
weekend beginning the third weekend in February through the end of
March.
"Nonpeak Periods" are defined as:
Those periods falling outside of the Christmas Peak and High Season and
which normally include the early ski season, Thanlisgiving, the pre.
Christmas Period, the January to mid-February period, and the late ski
season.
Another pertinent concept in the Managed Growth Agreement is the
benchmark capacity of the mountain which has been defined as 191900 skiers at one
time ("SAOT"). The theory behind the Managed Growth Agreement is to
implement tiers of management techniques to control infrastructure demands and
operations at or below the 19,900 SAOT threshold. An additional factor for
consideration is the design day stendard for Golden Peak planning studies end
infrastructure assessment which is 15,000 SAOT, a typical skier day count for the
current Christmas Peak The physical infrastructure of Golden Peak is designed to
accommodate the portal demands of a 15,000 SAOT event.
The Assessment Committee, described in Section VI of the Agreement, is the
entity chalged with monitoring, evaluating, and refining the operations of the
community management plan. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Assessment
Committee is likewise charged with this responsibility, but it is understood that for
these purposes the Assessment Committee may delegate its review function to the
Vail Transportation Task Force or other designee and shall include representatives
ofthe affected Golden Peak neighborhood in the review process.
The project components or elements which might be considered for tiered
management techniques at Goldcn Peak include the following: (a) Managed
Parking Structure; (b) Public Skier and Children's Center Drop-off Areas; (c)
Employee Parking; (d) Mountain Operations; (e) Local and Community Programs,
such as DEVO; (f) Ski Club Vail Activities; (g) Adult and Children's Ski School; (h)
Loading, Delivery and Trash Removal; (i) Snow Management; (i) Ticketing; and (k)
Special Events.
tr. MANAGED PARKING STRUCTURE
The Approved Development Plan of 19E4 depicted 130 surface parking
spaces, primarily located on the north side of Tract F along Vail Valley Drive for all
varieties of users of this particular portal and 6 interior parking sprces for the
residential condominiums. The Children's Center plan of 1988 required 12 spaces.
t
Taken together these total 148 spaces for drop off and parking. Prescntly the
surface lot existing at Golden Peak holds approximately 150 automobiles or less
depending on the amount of snow storage on the lot and the elficiencies of car
storage. Ofthese 150 spaces roughly 18-20 are used by employees; Spraddle Creek
Property Owners resenve and utitize E spaces; 4 spaces are used for Cross Country
Ski Van pick-up and drop-off; and approrimately 118 spaces are availsble for use
by the skiing public for a fee.
Parking requirements for the Ski BaselRecreation District are addressed in
Section 1E.39.230 of the Vail Ordinances which reads:
6'0ff-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 1E.52
and/or as specified on the Approved Development Plan."(emphasis supplied)
The langua.ge of this section permits and contemplates a parking function and
design unique to this district and its development plan. In response to this unique
environment the parking structure proposed in this plan consists of 148 parking
speces (including 5 handicapped or ADA spaces) located at or below the street
elevation and landscaped across the top to provide an aesthetic benefit to the
development and the surrounding neighborhood. The fundamental concept of the
organization and management of these parking spaces, the equivalent of a Tier I
management technique, is to create a managed or reserved (right to park"
mechanism designed to control the availability and use of the spaces and hence cut
down on indiscriminate traflic flows while providing for and paying for the eesthetic
benefits of the landscaped structure. Thc mechanism formulated to provide this
managed parking product to the public is a non-equity club or association of up to
500 members who would have the right to park in this structure for a fee. Two tiers
of membership in the association are contemplated. The first tier would consist of
up to 5e I members who would have a right to park in an identified reserved
parHng space. The second tier of members would be up to 450 people who have a
right to park in the structure based upon a monitored and computer controlled
reservations system. It is the intent of the applicant to initially offer 50 S first tier
and 200 second tier memberships to the public" Parking memberships would be sold
in the fall of 1995 contingent upon final approval of the Golden Peek Base Fecility
Projcct by the Town of Vail and sullicient subscriptions to commence construction
of the parking structure in the spring of 1996, but no later than spring of 1997. In
the event that the necessarT subscriptions are not forthcoming to commence
construction in 1997, VAI wilt initiate discussions with the Town Council
concerning payment in lieu of parking alternatives.
The first tier member would secure a right to use r particular parking space
on a year-round basis. Hence, the ratio of first tier members to parking spaces
reserved for their use would be I to 1. The second tier members would have a year-
round right to use a parking space based upon availability and prior reservation'
monitored by a computerized rotation system to insure equitable and optimized use.
The initial offering of second tier memberships would constitute a ratio of
approrimatcly 2 members to everT parking space. These members would call the
parking manager more than 24-hours in advance to reserve their use of available
spaces. A reservation list from among the members would be compiled daily for the
management of entry access by personnel stationed in the attendant booth at the
entry to the structure. Access into the structure would be permitted upon
presentation of a photo I.D. identiSing the bearer as a member and e confirmation
ofa reserved parking space on the parking availability list.
In the event that all parking spaces are not fully reserved and utilized by the
club members, VA, as operator of the facility, reserves the right at any time of the
year to utilize unreserved spaces for other guests, members of the skiing public'
employees or other percons who likewise must call and reserve a space less than 24-
hours in adyance. This short-notice use by non-members would be permitted only
on a daily basis by resenation. However, this managed operational feature would
expand the available user groups and increase the utilization ofthe structure in non-
peak periods without adding appreciable, unwanted trallic. Further, if the utility of
the structure can be maximized by offering additional nemberships for sale, VA will
do so after the first year of operation establishes typical occupancies.
In. SKIERDROP OFF
Skier drop off occurs presently on the east side of the existing Golden Peak
structure and immediately to the north of the Children's Center. Existing
conditions provide for 2l head-in spaces adjacent to the Children's Center and 10
parallel, or active parking spaces, in a loop dropoff area for the general public'
totaling 31 spaces currently dedicated to all drop-offfunctions. The proposcd plan
neerly doubles this capacity by providing for 30 head-in spaces dedicatcd to
Children's Center drop off and
.flg totaling 59 spaces for skier drop offat this portal.
(A.) X!er.!. Menagement measures to be undertaken in a sequential fashion
concurrently with redevelopment include:
1. During the Christmas Peak period and Presidents' Weekend VA will
stalf the General Skier and Children's Center drop off zones with 4 to 6
peoplg split between the drop offmnes es traflic needs demand' during peek
arrival and departure hourc or approximately from 8:30 to l0 a.m. and 3
p.m.. to 4:30 p.m. These trallic manageru will direct traflic' assist and
expedite the loading and unloading of passengers and equipment, encourage
the timely and swift departure of vehicles, and enforce restrictions against
unauthorized parking by calling for the removal or towing of ofTcnding
vehiclcs.
2. During the High Season period VA will staff the General Skier and
Children's drop olf zones with 2 to 4 people, split between the zones as trafftc
needs demand during peek arrival and departure hours.
3. During non-peak periods and during evening or night hours the drop off
zones would be stelfed or managed upon the operational discretion of VA as
10
moy bc necded to prevent congestion or vehicle stacking into Veil Vellcy
Drive or the bus lane. During these periods and times, except for spccial
events,
and use ofother VA parking lots
such as North Day lot.
4. Permanent, static, signage at the top of Blue Cow Chute will be installed
by TOV indicating that there is no public parking at Golden Peak and that
only Children's Center and skier drop olf is permitted.
5. In Section V (page 25) of the Agreement additional skier drop off zones
have been identified as "pressing current transportation and circulation
needs". VA will therefore cooperate with the TOV in identifying additionel
skier drop off zones elsewhere in the town including Ford Parlq, the Main
Perking Structure, Lionshead, and other locetions which will be formalized
and improved by the Town of Vail. Initially TOV witl develop and
implement a plan for general skier drop on the upper deck of the
Transportation Center utilizing cxisting physical improvements and facilities.
5. Upon the conclusion ofeach Peak Period and ski season the Assessment
Committee or its designeg will specifically assess acc€ss to and egress from
the mountain at Golden Peakn togethcr with trallic and drop off impacts
essociated with the skier movements and will meke recommendetions for
1l
adjustments or improvements to the Tier I management techniques
described above.
(8.) Tier II. In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques above have becn implemented and traffic congestion in thc drop
off zones still results in vehicle stacking into the street or bus lanes to a
degrec detrimental to the ordinary operation of the infrastructurc' then the
following successive management efforts will be undertaken in the next
succeeding ski season:
1. VA and/or TOV witl implement additional Tier I techniques which have
not yet been employed or will enhance those Tier I techniques already in use
according to the recommendations of the Assessment Committee.
2. TOV, pursurnt to its general obligations in the Agreement to implement
pro-active management efforts in coordination with VA to control traflig will
increase utilizetion of law enforcement personnel during peak periods in the
management of traffrc at Golden Peak (Section m A. 2. a., pnge 13).
3. Based upon the impacts oftraflic congestion and as transportation needs
demand, TOV will implement an electronic signage progrrm which would
display messages on the town arterials regarding traffic conditions within the
town parking garages, drop off zone trallic status conditions and lift maze
conditions at the base portals.
t2
IV:EMPLOYEE PARIilNG
-
employees park at Golden Peak of the approximately
500 employees who are based there in Peak Periods. Another 25 to 30 spaces tre
seasonally leased by VA from third parties for employee parking. The remaining
90o/o of Golden Peak based employees park in public lots, use public transit, or use
other private parking spots.
(A.) !!eLL The following mrnagement techniques will be implemented
sequentially upon redevelopment to mitigate employee transportation
impacts and sene the needs of the community's employees:
1. VA, together with TOV, will enter into negotiations with the Colorado
Department of Transportation to secure, if possiblg an employee park and
ride intercept lot on Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail. This lot would be used for VA
and TOV employces to park their vehicles in Eagle-Vail and utilize
established public transportation routes to continue on to theirjob locations
in VaiL In the event the CDOT site is not available or unsuitable, other sites
will be located and secured for a park and ride lot.
2. To the extent space availability exists during non-peak periods' V. A. will
permit managed employee parking by reservation in the parking structure et
Golden Peak
l3
3. During Pcak Periods VA employees will carpool to the soccer field lot
pursuant to the Holiday TraIIic and Perking Plan as managed and operated
by TOV or elternatively as managed by VA.
4. During the Christmas peak period and, in fact, extending beyond it from
December 24 until January I in any given yeer, VA wilt implement its
Holiday Traffic and Parking Plan. During this period VA will provide frce
bus tickets for the AvonBeaver Creek bus system to all Golden Peak based
staff. Parking in VA lots such as West Day L,ot and North Day Lot, will be
available for free to employecs who carpool. Employees not carpooling will
be charged a fee.
5. VA will add the Holy Cross Lot to its parking inventory for peak-period
employee carpooling.
6. As necessary, VA will assign employees carpooling locations in perticuhr
lots among the West Day' North Day and Eoly Cross properties and manage
entqr access into thcse properties.
7. VA wilt lease 20 parking spaces from a third party or, alternetively,
purchase 20 '6blue" parking pesses from the TOV for parking in the town
structures.
8.. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and the ski season, the
Assessment Committee or its designee will monitor the Tier I techniques
t4
v.
described above, assess the operationel results, and make recommendations
for alterations or enhancements to the plen.
(8.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques have been implemented and employee parking and transit is still a
concern, additional methods of employee transit and parking will be
under.taken at the recommendation of the Assessment Committee or its
desiglee.
MOITNTAIN OPERATIONS
(A.) I!er.I. Management melsures to be undertakcn during peak periodr in
a sequential feshion concurrently with redevelopment include:
1. VA will extend its periods of mountain operations later into the day (ag.
until 4:00 p.m.) to spread out the departure times of skiers from the
mountein.
2. Employee passes will be restricted during the Christmas Peak and
Presidents' weekend.
3. Improvements to the food and beverage offering at the base facility
restaurant" including apres ski and dinner olferings, will be designed to
attract the skiing public and stagger the public's departure from the portal .
4. VA will cooperate and coordinate with TOV and the Coloredo
Department of Transportation regarding the installation of signage at base
facilities, including Golden Peak, advising departing skiers of road conditions
15
and, if conditions are advense, inviting or advising departing skiers to stay
Iater in the village and draw out their departure times.
5. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period end the ski seeson the
Assessment Committee or its designee will assess mountain operation impacts
and make rccommendations for adjustments or improvements to the Tier I
mrnagement techniques described above.
(8.) Tier IL In the event that some or all of the Tier I menagemcnt
techniques have been implemented and congestion still exists in the portal
during peak periods, then the following successive management efforts will
be undertaken in the next succeeding ski season or Peek Period:
1. VA end/or TOV will implement additional Ticr I measures which havc
not yet been employed or will enhance those Tier I tmhniques already in use
according to thc recommendations of the Assessment Committee or its
designee.
2. VA will continue to take operational measures to balance the
functionality and use of its portals, as well as on-mountain circulation.
DEVO/LOCAL AND COMMI]NITY PROGRAMS
*DEVO' is an abbreviation for the Vail Development Team, a Children's Ski
School Progrnm consisting of 300 children which offers specialized ski school classes
to the children of locals and front range skiers. The high concentration of locals
t6
participating in thc program results in an inordinately high drop off impact on non-
peak Saturdays which mimics peak conditions throughout the season.
(A.) Tier I. Measures to be sequentially undertaken concurrently with
redevelopmcnt include:
1. The DEVO program does not run during the Christmas Peak or over
Presidents' Weekend. The program will continue to be limited in this
fashion.
2. Arrivals for the DEVO program will be staggered in advance of the
typiel ski school or mountsin opening times. DEVO arrival will be
scheduled for E:30 a.m., one-hllf hour prior to lift opening. Pick up will
Iikewise be scheduled esrlier than regular mountain closure"
3. Drop offfor DEVO will be formalized and managed by DEVO instructors
in the Golden Peak skier drop offzones to prevent stacking into the streets.
4. VA will investigate splitting the DEVO program further and basing some
portion of the program in Lionshead or staging it at other drop offzones.
For examplg moving the Freestyle Program, approximately 15% of the
DEVO skiers, to another drop offzone such as the TOV structure will be
explored and implemented if alternate drop offs are created. Staging DEVO
out of the Lionshead Teen Center will also be explored with TOV, including
the creation of short-term, 30 minute, dropoff and pick-up parking spaces in
the Lionshead Parking Structure.
l7
5. DEVO rac€ events will be moved in whole or in part to other local courses.
6. Upon the conclusion of each ski season the Assessment Committee or its
designee will assess the impacts caused by the DEVO program end make
rccommendations for adjustment or improvement to the Tier I techniques
described above.
@.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I techniques heve been
implemented and DEVO still advenely impacts portal congestion then the
following successive manrgement efforts will be undertaken in the next ski
season or Peak Period:
1. DEVO will be relocated in part or in whole to other Vail Mountain
portels. i ineluding derrn vdley pertals aeeessing Beover Grcek Meuntdn-
2, DEVC) and ether sueh leeal pregrams will be terminrte*
VIL SKICLITBVAIL
Ski Club Vail is a private, non-profit ski club which is not owned, operated,
or managed by VA. VA, however, provides on-mountain access for training and
racing events for Ski Club Vail. Ski Club Vail training accounts for approrimately
60,000 gate starts per year and Ski Club Vail racing activities account for an
additional 15,000 gatc starts per year. Generally racing activity, including Ski Club
Vail, runs from E:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. and frequently occurs seven days per week
during the ski season.
1E
(4.) Tier L Management measures to be taken concurrently with
redevelopment include:
l. Ski Club Vail progrems will be coordinated with other special events, as
was done during thel994ll995 season, to prevent overcrowding ofgroup in
the portal at any one time.
2. Start times for Ski Club Vail during peak periods and high season will be
coordinated so that Ski Club Vail arrival times will occur before the 9 a.m.
peak hour rush and will be terminated later in the afternoon to spread the
departure from the ski mountain.
3. VA will allow and encourage Ski Club Vail users to arrive and depart
using the General Skier Drop-ofrZone.
4. Upon the conclusion of the ski season, the Assessment Committee or its
designee will monitor the Tier I techniques described abovg essess the
impact of Ski Ctub Vail on the use and efliciencies of the portal and make
recommendations for alterations or enhancements to the plan.
(8,) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the Tier I measures have been
implemented and Ski Club Vail still poses logistical problems for the
optimized use of the portal, the recommendations of the Assessment
Committee or its designee will be implemented.
1. Ski Club Vail will be terminated in whole or in part in its use of the
Golden Peak race courses and base facility.
19
VIIL ADTILTAND CHILDREN'S SKI SCHOOLS
The Golden Peak portal is somewhat unique in that it supports a full
children's ski school, including nursGrJr as well as the adult ski school.
Approximately 37,000 ski school students per season, or an average 264 per dayr are
serviced et this portal. The size and scope of ski school activities in the portal are
naturally constrained by thc size of the base area facilities. The Children's Ski
School in particular is functionally limited by the building size and the ski yard
available for introductory children's classes.
(A.) Tier I. Management measures to be undertaken in a sequential fashion
concurrenfly with rcdevelopment include:
1. Ski school classes will be coordinated with morning arrivals of other
specigl user groups so thet ski school classes will sequentially follow the
arrival times ofother groups and activities and spread out portal arrivals.
2. VA will emphasize a '.one stop shop" of lessons and equipment' including
overnight stomge, which will reduce the need for arrival by private
automobile rs well as reduce dwell times of eutomobiles which do arrive for
drop off.
3. VA will promote in its marketing materials the convenience of public
transit which services the area.
4. VA will explore the implementation of telephone or electronic
preregistration in ski school, including the Children's Ski School, in an effort
20
to cut down the dwcll times of automobiles dropping skiers olf for ski school
registration.
5. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and the ski season, the
Assessment Committee or its designee will assess cotrgestion in the portal
related to ski school activities and make recommendations for adjustments or
improvements to the Tier f management techniques discussed above.
(8.) Tier IL In the event that some or all of the Tier I management
techniques have been implemented and congestion associated with the ski
schools still results in crowding in the portal then the following additional
manegement steps will be sequentially implementcd:
1. The recommendations for improvements or adjustments made by thc
Assessment Committee or its designee will be instituted in the following
se&son or Peak Period.
2. VA will make improvements to its Lionshead Ski School facilities upon the
redevelopment of that portal taking pressure off of the Golden Peak portal.
DL LOADING, DELIVERY AND TRASH REMOVAL
The Golden Peak Base Facility requires the delivery of food and liquor for its
restaurant operations and trash and recycling pick-up for all functions located at
Golden Peak Cumently, food and liquor delivery takes place daily between 6:00
a.m. and 7:00 a.m. and again between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The majority of
2l
food and liquor dcliveries are first sorted out at the Gondola Buitding in Lionshead,
then delivered to Golden Peak by VA employees.
Currently, there is no formal loading dock at Golden Peak which rcsults in
the need for two (2) daily food and liquor delivery trips. In addition, there is a trash
compactor et Golden Peak currently which results in the need for daily trash
collection at 7:00 a.m.. Recycling pick-up is done by VA and occurs as needed
concurrently with food and liquor drop-off. It is estimated that current delivery
times will remain the same to avoid interference with skier traflic, though the
addition of a formal loading area and storage may reduce the number of daily
delivery trips by VA from two (2) to one (1). The addition of a trash compactor at
Golden Peak should reduce the frequency of daily trips required for trash pick-up.
(A.) -I!gt t Measures to be undertaken concurrently with redevelopment
include:
l. Delivery times will be managed so that no delivery or trash pick-up will
occur during the hours of E:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
2. The Assessment Committee will review and assess truck deliveries end
senice at the conclusion of each ski season and make recommendations for
alterations or improvements as nccessary.
(8.) Tier tr. In the event that some or all of the above measures have been
implemented and if loading, detivery and/or trash removal results in
opcmtional inelliciencies in the portal then the following management
techniques will be implemented in the next succeeding ski scason:
l. The recommendations of the Assessment Committee will be implemented.
2. VA will endeavor to deliver larger loads directly to Golden Peak and store
additional food end beverage on site thus reducing the number of trips or
will arrange night delivery to avoid traffic congestion.
X. SNOW MANAGEMENT
Snow management at Golden Peak will be conducted in a manner similar to
that in othcr VA poftals. Snow storage zones have been depicted upon the reviscd
snow storage map preparcd and submitted with the Application.
(A.) Iigl-t The following manrgement efforts will be undertakcn with
respect to snow storrge and management during the ski season, including
peak end high season periods.
1. VA will by contract with third parties or through its own forces plow all
areas of vehicular circulation as depicted on the Snow Management Plan by
5 a.m. eveqr morning upon a snowfall of 4 or more inches.
2. VA, through its own forces, will remove snow from sidewalks and plaza
areas depicted upon the Snow Management Plan by means of a bobcag an
AIV and/or by hand between the hours of 7 and 8:30 on all mornings
following a snowfall of 4 inches or more.
22
23
3. VA will store snow in temporary snow storage areas within the drop off
zones and within two to seven days oI a, 4" snowfall will use loaders and
trucks to remove the snow stored there and trensport it from the site.
Impacts on trallic congestion will determine the spced and frequency of
removal of snow from the temporary snow storrge areas. VA will remove
snow immediately if snow storage results in congestion in the drop-off zones
causing auto stacking into the street.
4, At the end of each Peak Period and the ski season the Assessment
Committee or its designee will review snow removal performance during the
season and, as necessary, make recommendations for adjustments or
improvements to the Tier I techniques described above.
(8.) .Tier II. In the event that some or all of the Tier I techniques designed to
manage snow have not effectively cleared the snow from the drop olfzones or
other public areas and/or have impacted circulation on the public strects,
then VA will implement recommendations made by the Assessment
Committee or its designee.
SPECHL EVENTS AND SKI RACING
Golden Peak is the site of many ski races and special events during the course
of a ski season. Typically the rrcing season begins in mid-December and runs
through early April. Training for ski rrcing can be broken down as follows: Ski
Club Vail generrtes 60,000 gate starts pcr year; high school prognms add 7,500
xr.
24
gate starts per yerr; and corporate/club training events add 7,500 morc st$ts per
year. Actual racing starts for these three user groups are approximately 15'000 gate
starts pcr year for Ski Club Vail, with an additional 21000 starts per year for local
high school programs, and 101000 starts per year for corporate and club racing.
These total roughly 102,000 gate starts p€r year and average 4.5 ski racing events
per weelc Daily ectivity for ski racing typically commences at E:30 a.m. and
continues until 4:30 p.m. Of these race events two or three major televised events
occur each year, not all ofwhich are headquartered out ofthe Golden Peak course.
These include the Pro Tour, FIS World Cup and North Americen Trophy Series
races. In 1999 the World Championships wilt be held at Veil and opening
ceremonies are scheduled for Golden Peak Race starts and demand for training
space have been growing steedily for the pest decade.
Special Events which occur at Golden Peah in addition to the routine racing
programs, include various snowboarding €vents which draw typicalty 100 to 250
people, the U.S. Pro Tour which draws about 500 people, and Hot Winter Nights
events which draw 500 to 1000 people typically in February and March and up to
3000 peoplc during the Christmas holiday.
(A.) fu! Management techniques already utilized and in place at Golden
Peak or which will be implement with redevelopment include:
25
1. Snowboarding events typically held in non-peak periods are usually smell
with minimal impact on portal arrivals or u$e. Arrivals and staging of cvent
participants will be managed with VA personnel on an '.as needed" basis.
2. Hot Winter Nightr events are held during off hours and do not interfere
with other portal arivals or demands on infrastructure. These will be
managed with VA personnel on an "as needed'basis.
3. Major events, such as televised FIS racing events, the \ilorld
Championships, major bicycle race events, and summer fireworla will be
managed through the standard special event permitting process of the TOV.
4. At the end of each Peak Period and ski seNson the Assessment Committee
or its designee will review and make recommendations concerning Special
Events and racing activities at Golden Peak and their impacts on the portal
and congestion in the surrounding infrastructure.
(8.) Tier IL In the event some or all of thc Tier I techniques have been
implemented and congestion has still resulted at the portal which adversely
effects traflic or surrounding town infrastructure then VA will implement the
recommendations of the Assessment Committee or its designee in the
following ski season or Peak Period. In addition the following successive
management techniques will be implemented:
1. Special events will be moved in part from this portal to down valley
locations.

I have reveiwed the Gold Peak submittal and have organized my comments into catergories with
regards to the particulars ofeach segment ofthe project. In addition I have given a complete
reveiw of the submittal. so some of the comments will need to be addressed before PEC and
others will need to be addressed prior to DRB. No matter what all the comrnents will need to be
addressed at some point before building permit.
TRAFFIC STUDY
The applicant submiteed a traffic analysis coducted by TDA Colorado, for this prqect which the
town did have certain concems with. The biggest concern was the traffic study was only using
an increase in portal hips of 50% while a report by the consulting team of RRC in another part
of the applicants proposal was a statement on use projection estimating the portal useage would
double over previous demands. The second concern was the determination of the design day in
which to design the phsical improvements. It was decided the design day would simulate a
15,000 skier at one time day simular to the day the fiaffice analysis was conducted on 12/30/94.
A third component was the distribution of the increased trips to a particular purpose and to the
appropriate mode. The majority of the trips were assigned to the Towns' bus system and
increased pedestrian arrivals as shown in the following table.

The result of this analysis was that both the Childeren's Center and the skier drop off would be

falls short of these requiremants by 5 spaces in the Childeren's Int and by 8 in the Skier drop off
lot. A management agreement was drafted to discuss the applicants proposal to handle those
days in which demnad exceeds the design day physical facilities of the sitc. This agreeemcnt is not
only required to discuss the handling ofthese pesk demands but also ensures the Town and the
Ncighborhood that thier concems of thc sitc not meeting the physical requierments but also a
continueing monorting of the situation with the developer that if the assumed cstimates may
indeed be wrong the parties involved are required to resolve the problems assossiated with the
developmnmet forever and thc fiscal resposibilities for any necessary improvements will be agrd
to and implcmmented . Therefore the usual urgcncey of requiring the developer to implemcnt all
improvements that can be perccived due to thc impacts of this developmnmt at this time, most of
which we can only speculate, are not necessary due to the ongoing management of the impacts
and the required solutions being implemented as we monitior the portals useage over time.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND DRAINAGE ISSUES
The cunent site does have a small portion of the sitc in a designated floodplain. The August 7,
1995 drainage report frrom Alpine Engineering will need to addrcss the mapping of the floodplain
or state that the 100 year flows are contained in the pipe so the floodplain is contained in the pipe
as well. The report was also showing how the 500-ycar flood which the proposed storm sewer
cannot handle was to be routed through the site to avoid flooding ttre building and the adjacient
neighbors. The grading plan does not show these required improvemcnts. The necessary
drainage improvcments for the site work and the roadwork will necd to have the appropriate
drainage calcutations provided. All final drainagc improvements will be accompanied by complete
engineered conshuction drawings,
All plans in the environmental report on the Mill Creek culvert extention should be updated to
reflect the findings from the 8/7/95 drainage report by Alpine.
The CDOW has extreme concems with sediment loading of the waterways in the Vail area. How
is thc groundwater that is collected to be disposed of in a way to ensure close to 0% release of
fines? What measures will be taken to ensure that the work in the stream channel will not cause a
scdiment loading once the flows are reintroduced into the channel? The sediment and erosion
control plan docs not addrcss thc large arcas being graded south ofthe building or the work for
thc Childrcns' Ccnter parking and bus tumaround. A colorado Dcpartmcnt of Health permit is
requircd.
Remove the altemate 30 space parking lot from the report. The report states snow removed from
roads and parking lots were to be placed in a site which would mitigatc the pollutants associated
with this type of snow. The cutrcnt plan has this snow being removcd from thc site, whcre is the
snow being dumped at and what metods are used at the dump site to mitigate the pollutants?

The 1983 Hydro-Triad letter points out there is moderate avalanche hazard occuring infrequurtly
on the southeastem portion ofthe site. The letter frorn Mr. Irish states no hazard form avalanches
exist provided thc slopes are properly groomed. A large portion of the slopes within the
mountain boundaries are not groomed, especially the very steep natural tenain most prone to
avanlanche hazards. It appean there is a discrepancy betu,een the two consultants findings which
may need to be resolved and if there is a hazard present it will need to be shown on the approved
development plan.
The staffs position with the findings of Mr. Irish with regards to mud and deb,ries flow hazards is
ofconcem since there have indeed been in the 30 years ofVail's existence a debrics event at this
locaion. In addition within the last five years, there has been a significant slide on the slopes
above Mill Creek which the debries reached the sFeam. At this time we feel an additional opinion
is neded to either substantiate Mr. Irish's opinion or to verifr the staffs concem that a hazard
may in fact exist. If a hazard does exist which may need to be mitigated the mitigation will need
to be shown on the approved DRB plan set.
SURVEY AI\[D TITILE REPORT
The town recieved the existing conditions of Vail Valley Drive on lll7l95. We are in the process
of reveiwing it. The survey for the site did not show the 2-3 sheds just above where the village
skiway crosses Mill Creek. What are there uses? Through the consolidation of the out buildings,
will there need be eliminated?
The title report calls out an easement for Mill Creek which is not shown. Please explain the
platted centerline of bike path . Why does the bike path not follow this platted centuline?
The final establishment of all the necessary easements for roadways, draniange, paths etc. will be
accomplished how and when?
MANAGEMENT PLAN
SITE/GRADING/LANDSCAPE/EMERGAI\C Y AND SNOW PLANS
l) The tuming radius for the buses is extemely tight. The placement of turning templates on the
layouts leaves no room for enor. This is a very big concern of the bus dcpartment. The tums the
bus has to make requires tires to be right on the curbs going in turning throuth the turnaround and
pulling out. This is unacceptable.
2) The safe stopping sight distance for the roadway is 125' measured in the center of each lane.
Thc roadway will nccd to bc adjustcd at thc castcrn turn of Manor Vail and the Ramshorn to
achicvc this distance, Thc requircd sight distancc for the skicr drop offand thc childrcns' ccnter
parfting for pulling out is 200' in each dircotion measured l0' bchind the flowline in thc centcr of
thc appropriate drive lancs.. The condo planting and wall necds to be adjustcd to accomidate this

distance for the skier drop of area. The rcquired distance for the bus pull out is 300' measured
simularlyas for cars in each direction. The location of the bus sheter for the golf course route will
need to be sited in such away as not to interfere with this sight distance requirement.
3)The tumig radius into the the truck ramp does not work the drive will need to be wider, trucks
are hitting the walls and driving'onto the landscaping.' 4)Prcvide a 6'walk betwen the Childerns' Center and the condos along Vail Valley lhive. This
could bc accomplised by narrowing the drive lanes in the Chitderens' Center lot.
S)Move bus gate back to accomidate the walk and the ADA ramp.
6) All ADA ramps at radius need to be extended around the curves to gain the full width of thc
ramp.
7)Provide for ADA ramps at the bus stop and at the Skier Drop offarea.
8)The ADA ramp on the south side of the building to access the bikepath needs to be wider to
accomidate bikes easier.
9)All Concrete pans at drive intencctions will need to be 4'wide.
l0)The bikepath adjacient to the raised curved planter should either be widend or placed a min of
?;fr::T.t#J;::frlfh inthebus rane is much smallerthan shown inorderto accomidate
the bus movements.
l2)The angled parking spaces in the skicr drop offarea need to be shown at thc correct length.
l3)fte north space of the condo courtyard is almost impossible to maneuver into.
l4)the enty into the condos only has 9'drivelanes due to thc gatc post andcnty station. This is
very naffow 10-l l' preferred.
l5)Plaza at Mill Creek Circle and Vail Valley Drive looks like it will encourage people to use it as
a skier drop off. It should be desinged in a simular way as Mayor's Park where therc is a planted
area which seperates the seating areas from the roadway.
16)The Manor Vail ADA ramp acrcss from the Childrens' Centermakes no sense unlcss a walk
connection is being proposed.
l7)The manor Vail ped connection going wcst on the south side of thcre building will nccd to be
closcd with landcaping and berming and the peds will need to be encouraged to use the
connection to the north or thier drive to the south.
l8) Why is the grading of the main plaza south cross sloped at8.3o/o which is also the grade those
using the accessable skiway ned to cross.
l9)the grade of the main plaza north is extremely flat to have it drain to the skicr drop off.
20) Provide elevation at the bottom of the main stair in the north plaza.
2 I )Why is the retaining wall between the stairs and th ramp 5' high at the hard surface ramp
accessing the bike path.
22)Grading of ttre bike path should be 8% max. On the west side of the site.
23)Elevation 94 needs to be matched on Mill Creek Circle.
24)Provide grades of bike path at the curved planter wall.
25)Drains are needed at the upper walk at thc NE Corner of thc parking structureand at thc west
center entance to the reshaunt.

26)The area behind the condo walk connection to the plaza will be a collector of hash and very
difficult to remove snow it should be revised.
27)the exta area in the westem edge of the skier dropoffangled parking could be eliminated.
28) there is an area not showing any plantins in the condo arrival court adjaciurt to the walk to
the plaza that needs to be landscaped.
29)The stairs on the E side of the building sbould be heated. It is almost impossible to remove
snow from the m since they are in awhole. A drain is also needed.
30)Show more on site snow storage areas adjacient to wherc snow is being rernoved and left.ie
north plaza and walks.- 3l)How does the bus turnaround get plowed and the snow get deposited in the Childerens'Center
lot without entering the street?
32)how does snow in the western temporary sights get removed without disturbing the
landscaping? May need to install an area of reinforced turf.
33)Manor Vail entry is mislabeled as Chalet Road.
34)The vehicle directional signs will ned stop sigrs placed at all the drive cxits.
35)Apedehian directional guide sign may be needed at the plaza of Mill Creek Circle and Vail
Valley Drivc
36) The directional sign for the skier drop offwill need to address courtesy vans
37)The distribution of the inceased ped trips may need to be more porportionatc to the existing
ped demands.
38)The grading necessary to move the bus shelter for the Golf Course routc will be needed to be
shown
39)Full site drainage report and plans will be required for DRB' 40)Full Site utilitey plan is requied for the project
4l)Full civil engieered plans are reuired for the roadway work prior to DRB.
BUILDING PLANS
There arc numerous areas along the building where the grades either apperar too flat to drain or
there is a need for a drain.. These areas will need to be addressed prior to building permit
issuance. The parting stucturc appeam to have very generous drive lanes which coul d be
reduced to reduce the overall size of the structure. The parking spaces on the lower NE corner of
the structure should be added to each ofthe appropriatc lanes versues having their ends touching.
It would appear that 2 spaces could be added to each level at the SW comer of the stucture with' a very small modification of the building. The area next to the westem most accessable space
should be filled in more as it would be impossible to pour concrete into the wedge as shown.
Why does the people using the accessable parking for this portal need to exit out the structure go
down a hallwy turn into thc "wreck" room to acccss thc uppcr lcvel of thc building. This
especially seetns absurd considcring this portal is advertised as thc fully accessiblc portal.

How are the retaining walls of the site finished? How are the large walls adjaciurt to the parking
structure finished?
STREETSCAPE PLANS
The Streetcape improvements will need to be placed on thc latest survey showing the correct
existing conditions.
The minimum wlk allowed is 6'revise all proposed walks less than this.
Only 2 street lights will be required at the bridge, placed on the side of the direction of tavel.
The bridge widening will need to accomidate the wider walk and also a bridge railing , assume
l.57side for the railing
Thc parking at the Voulafcr needs to be vcrified with thc ncw survcry, it apppcars therc may be a
portion of building jutting out into the spaces next to the bilding which thc spaces are just barely
legal as it is.
The project shoul be removed from the Tivoli property.
It should be investigated to close the ramshorns southern drive and place the walk behind the tree
as ahown on the master plan and pick up the lost parking space on the closod driveway
Thc neck down area at the gatlin should be widened and the tree trimmed and the ramps adjusted
if this is to be the major means to get people to the portal
the minimum width of gore creek drive w is 20'
the path should have a smoother connection to the streamwalk by cutting thr corner
Provide apan or curcut at the volafer parking instead ofthe curb shown
The dimensions of the road to the soccer field is 40' flowline to flowline and the wolk is 6' this will
need to be shown correctly.
There will need to be a design to show how the roadway widens just east of the Childern's center
and how the two projectstie togather at this point.
The realigument of Gore Creek Drivc East will need the homeowners apporval as the roadway
only is allowed in the right of way
Has any work been done on the request of the Mill Creek Circle Neighborhood sign/enty
Hanson ranch Road May be narowcd even more
Sight Distance at the Ramashorn is critical can anything be done to improve it.
The necking down of E meadow Drive and the apprpriate ADA ramp will need to be modified
Full enginecred plans for both drainage and rcadway will be rcquired from the VTRC to the
soccer field
Do you think any traffic calning desing stratigies should be inplimented alog thir stseach and
extended to the golf course along Vail Valley Drive?

RE: Golden Peak Plans.
I met with David and Ethan at Design Workshop this morning to discuss my comments on the
Golden Peak plans. Although they had received my comments late most of my concerns had been
addressed. I understand that some of my comments could not be accommodated because of site
constraints and that the PEC has signed offon them. These relate primary to the streetscape
work along the ski school parking lot and the layout ofthe bike path by the Apres Ski deck.
I still have 2 significant concerns that I would like to have addressed. The first ofthese relates to
the area which is primary the roof of the parking garage. When this area was first presented in
plan by Dave Corbin this area had a "parkJike" character. It was a mown turfgrass area with
landscape plantings, fencing and other features. The plan which I saw today showed the areas
which were turfgrass as native grass. This creates a major difference in the use and appearance of
the site. I looses its parkJike character, reduces the impact that the planting will have and
impacts the function of the bike path. I feel very strongly that the area should remain as turfgrass
as shown on the earlier submittal.
The second area of concem is the planting bed between the skier drop offparking and Vail Valley
Drive. The design of this area includes a 3.5' wall against the parking spaces and a 2 to I slope, 9'
to 12'widg from the top of the wall down to the back of the walk. The area is heavily planted in
deciduous and conifers trees with various shrubs, ground covers and flowers. My concem here is
the steepness of the slope between the wall and the walk. I told Ethan and David I thought the
slope should be no more than 4 to I for several reasons. These included soil washing down on to
the wallg trouble getting plants to establish on such a steep slope and the extra steepness caused
by the tree planting (flat rootball on a narrow steep slope). They are berming against the wall to
avoid the cost ofveneering it. I told them that I would rather have them lower the grade and use
plants to hide the wall. The requirement for veneer would be up to DRB. Having a flatter grade
to work with will also allow more variation in the placement of the trees. Although the plan
currently shows the trees staggered, reality will cause them to end up in more or less of a straight
line because of the grade of the bacldll. Again, I feel very strongly that this area should be
redesigned to eliminate the steep slope.
Pleaso pase thcce comm€ots along to Dav€ Corbin as soon as possible. I can be available to mee
with you aod Davo if necessary. ptease la me know the status of VA's reply prior to thc DRB
meedry.

To: Jim Curnutte, Leuren Waterton
From: Todd Oppenheimer
ffiRE: Comments on Golden Peak Ski Bese end streetscrpe plan submittal.
First a suggestion. Consider requesting more plan sets on large, complex projects. Review and
comments could be completed in a more timely manner if staffmembers did not have to wait for
plan sets to be routed.
Following are my comments on the Golden Peak ski base and streetscape plan submittal. Notes
and sketches relative to the comments are on the plan sheets and should be forwarded to the
applicant with the comments. Please call me at 479-2161 if you have any questions.
Sheet I-1, Site Plan.
l. Move path 5' to l0' away from the Apres Ske deck planter and sod area between planter and
path. People and bicycles will tend to congregate in this area causing congestion on the path.
2. Skiway gets to narrow as it leaves the garage roof Move plantings l0'to 15'to the west to
create more room.
3. Planting beds between the skiway and path on garage roof will be crushed by snow, grooming
equipment and ski traffic. Add more conifers to better define edges during the winter and
consider temporary, portable fencing to protect areas.
4. Indicate installation of metal landscape edging between all planting beds and sod areas.
5. Add 6' sidewalk along Ski school parking lot. Push planting areas south to accommodate.
6. At Ford Park access walkway, move plants to the north and construct ne% more visible Ford
Park sign. Add a second sigrr at the back portion of Manor Vail aligned with the walkway.
Construct new walkway from that point to the end of the lvlanor Vail bridge. A sketch plan is
attached.
7. Lodge plaza pavement should be concrete unit pavers. Colored concrete in plaza areas south
oo OO
of building is probably okay.
Shect I-2, Site Greding.
L Grade of walk from Ski School south door is to steep at l2%o. Reduce grade to 8olo maximum
as shown on plan.
2. Applicant should furnish grading information for review on the condo entry court area. There
is insufficient information on the plans to understand how this area, including the walls, will
function.
3. The steep grade between the garage roof and the skier drop offarea is to uniform. Add large
areas ofboulders as rock outcroppings to allow variations in grade and breakup the slope.
Incorporate rock work into landscape plan. Begin rock work in place of 3'+ retaining wall at the
bottom ofthe slope.
4. Refer to Greg Hall's comments on other grading concerns.
Sheet I-3, Planting Plan.
l. Refer to comment l-Ll on sod area.
2. Indicate limits ofturfgrass areas. Indicate ground surface material south ofski school.
Indicate areas of native seed and what the desired seed mix will be.
3. Add 6'walk at Ski School parking lot, retain 4'minimum planting area and add 2' cobble
bumper overhang area.
4. Increase number ofdeciduous trees and add as many conifers as possible in planting strip along
Ski School parking lot to improve visual separation and screening. Use large caliper deciduous
trees that can be limbed up for carlpedestrian clearance where necessary.
5. Area west of bus lane along building is to formal. Use planting scheme similar to other areas
with a combination of conifers, deciduous treeq shrubs and flowers.
6. Add shrub areas to planting beds on both sides of Manor vail entrance drive' Shrubs will add
an understory layer to the trees and serve as backdrop to the flowers.
7. Refer to comment 3-L2 for treatment of garage slope area.
8. Refer to notes 2,3 and 4-Ll re plantings along skiway and bike path.
9. Move trees back from edge of walk along skier drop of lane at least 2'.
10. Applicants plan to transplant trees from ski lift realignment clearing will probably not work.
oo oo
Many of the conifers are beyond moveable size, the Aspens are mostly clones with no independent
root systems, the hillside is too steep for equipment access and the soil is very rocky. Ifthe
applicant wishes to continue pursuing relocation, I would like to have a letter from a qualified tree
relocation contractor outlining how they intend to perform the work. If the applicant wants to
not relocate the trees they should add the same number ofthe largest available nursery stock to
the plans in zubstitution.
I l. Add Pinus aristata, Bristlecone Pine, Fraxinus Penn., Green Ash, and Acer Ginnala, Ginnala
Maple the list of plant materials. Delete Snow-in Summer as a groundcover and propose
something different (preferably a combination of things). Snow-in-Summer turns weedy and dies
out after a couple ofyears. There is a lot ofgroundcover area on the plan. Applicant should be
more specific,regarding what plant is going where. I can furnish a list of the perennials the TOV
uses upon request.
Sheet I-4, Snow Management Plan.
L Turf grass areas used for temporary snow storage should be reinforced with a material like
Grassrings to minimize damage from loading equipment.
2. Refer to Greg Hall's comments regarding snow storage spaces and pushing routes.
Sheet A1.3, Bus Shelter.
1. Specify type of finisl/treatment on concrete retaining wall.
2. Designate space for ski rack in vicinity ofbus shelter.
Note: the plan sheet infront of A1.3 had been removed from the plan set.
Streetscape Plans.
l. Consider changing the alignment of W Drive as it crosses the bridge to allow the planter
along the Vorlaufer parking to remain. One space would change to a compact only space and
would be compensated for by increasing the size of space #1 along Staub Park. The extra space
which comes out ofthe planter would not be needed.
2. Increase the size of the planter at the intersection of Gore Creek Drive to compensate for lost
landscape space.
3. Replant as much of the Vail Trails planting to be removed in the same proximity as possible.
Loss of planting in this area effects the aesthetic character of the street and impacts the residential
units.
4. Straighten alignment of curb and walk at Galatyn Lodge. Buses do not use the pull offlane.
r
oo ot
5. Detsch wdk at tbe REms Horn lodge to save large spruoe trses. Close south driveway to
increasc landscape space.
6. New asphalt aoro$ MII Creek park should follow the existing "cow path" alignment. See
skach on plan shoet.
7. I do not soe the iderecction Mill Croek Circle and W Ihive as a gatheriry spot ding s
plaza. Roduce paved area to walhrays only and deeign a landscape/art featurc for the aroa. What
is tlrc $8tus oftho large telephone podestal locatod in the center ofthis area?

Dear Mike,
Ll"-Tl,yl i: completing its review ol the Golden Peak Environmentat tmpact Report. I am wriling ro
9rmpty let you know what ihe Town of Vail's comments are on Vail Assoiiates pioposat to conveit g7g
feet of open channel of the East Branch of Mill Creek into an enclosed slormwatei culvert. Theycurrernly cover this area in the winter to allow skiers to pass over the channel ro iccl.J ski lift;. TheEast Branch ol Milt Creek was constructed to allow additional capacity for flood events. Although theT.ow.1 has a policy of protecting and enhancing riparian areas, we teei tnat this area does not haveslgnrrcanl nabnat value and that there are valid operational requirements that merit the additionalculverting proposed in this project.
The Town has worked with Vail Assoicates to address the corp's interest in diverting additional flowsdown the main stem ol Mill Creek, which does have valuable riparian habitat. The Town did have tobalarrce multiple issues in looking at this issue which include:
'l) protecting and improving aquatic habitat.. 2) not increasing ilood hazardi.
3) maintaining a minimal flow on the east branch of Mill Creek for aesthetic reasons.
The Texas Town homes border the the East Branch of Mill Creek which are near the confluence of GoreCreek' The Texas Town homes do value the East Branch of Mill Creek as an aesthitic amentity andsome flow on the East Branch needs to be maintained. The solution that Alpine Engineering d6veloped
19t^91?1ins." 1 foot high berm at the Millcreek structure, we feelwill increase flows down the main slemoI Mlll ureeK during lowJlows.while maintaining some flow down the east branch. ln addition, this designg!9utd improve the ability of the channel to coitain a flood event bt incieasing the intet capacity trom380 cfs to 480 cfs.
