Members of the PEC:
First of all, thank you for your time and the p rojectap p rovalat our last meeting back in February. Much
has hap p enedsince then and we need to come back in for app rovalof our prop osedchanges to the
project.
After our last meeting together, hard cost estimates for the projectfinally started coming in. It appears
that in the last 6 months or so, lumber and steel p riceshave taken a very steep turn higher resulting in
p rojectcosts being about $2m above what the p roject can sup p ort.With a deficit this large,the only
way to cut costs is to cut scop eand comp lexitywithout cutting the number of units. While the building
configuration is generally the same as before,we are proposingthe following changes.
• We have removed the (10)ten "west wing" units that were supposed to sit on the 40%slope but
ended up being dug into the hillside.
• We have removed all officespace exceptfora small manager's officeat the entry. This allows
us to recoup(3)three units as well as reduce the p ressureon the parkingnumbers.
• We have reconfiguredeach of the east end multi-bedroom units into a studio and one bedroom.
• GRFA has decreased from 38,383 SF to 37, 154 SF.
• We have eliminated the "cut-away" design of the top floor and raised the roof so it can be
constructedfrom limp le wood trusses.
• Building height relativeto the p revioudy ap p rovedheight has increased by ap p roximately7'to
9'. Relative to the interpolated preexisting grade, we are app rox.60' to 65' to the ridges.
• We have re-designed the east garage (12 sp aces)so that it is an open garage with tandem
parkingthat sits under the building above. Even with tandem spaces,parkingmanagement is
easier without need for office parking.
• No change in the number of comp actp arkingsp aces p reviouslyap p roved.
• Due to conversion of officesp ace into residential, we have eliminated two parkingspaces.
• By eliminating the 24'drive aisle required for the garage,we are able to pull the mechanical
spaces back under the building above and createa spacefortenant storage.
• By moving the p reviouslyoutdoor accessible space into the enclosed west garage, we can re-
grade the front half of the site and thereby raise the entire building by 2'. This reduces the cuts
into the hillside and reduces the number and height of site retaining walls.
• Setbacks have changed: North has increased significantly,East has decreased slightly and West
has increased slightly(see p rojectdata sheet at the end of this letter).
• No changes to entry drive or Fire lane.

Solar Vail; PEC Changes to Ap p rovedPlans- 14 May 2018 2
While we have maintained the unit count at 65 units, the distribution of unit typ eshas changed. No
more 3 bedroom units (these would have been a challenge to keep occupied). Instead, a significant
increase in the number of one bedroom units.
• 39 Studios (42 as p reviouslyap p roved)
• 22 One bedroom units (13 as p reviouslyap p roved)
• 4 two bedroom units (6 as p reviouslyap p roved)
• 0 three bedroom units (3 as p reviouslyap p roved)
The enclosed west garage remains as app roved,albeit 18" higher than before. The east garage changes
eliminate the need for a garage door and the door width variance you app rovedin February.
We are prop osingto lose two(2) p arkingsp aces,reducing the total count to 32. But,this is more than
offset by the p arkingsp aces(4)gained by converting most of the p reviouslyap p rovedoff ice sp ace into
residential units. Asa result,there is a net gain of 2 spaces for use by the tenants. The parking
management p lan has been amended to reflectmanagement of the tandem parking.
Building setbacks have changed slightly as we have shiftedthe building slightly eastward on the site.
North side (up hill)has increased significantly as we are no longer p rop osingto build into the hillside.
East side setback has shrunk by about a foot and west side setback has increased by about 2' feet,South
setback remains unchanged.
Site coverage has drop p edsubstantially with the removal of the west wing and the pulling of the
subterranean boiler room back under the building above.
Amenity sp aces have moved around a bit but remain as app roved the ski room is now in the garage,
the mail room is now in the garage, closer to where most tenants will enter the building, the laundry
rooms are now closer to the middle of the building on every level instead of just the top three levels (the
machine count is unchanged), and the lobby/common area remains as before. We have also created
miscellaneous sp aces in the garage that can be used for tenant storage, bikes,etc.
We hop ethat you will consider this p rojectas submitted and give us app rovalfor the changes so that we
may get under way as soon as possible. We are still looking for an immediate start to construction and
occupancyin late Fall of 2019..
Information required by the TOV as part of the application:
Describe the natureof the proposeduse and measuresproposedto make the use compatible withthe
other properties in the vicinity.
App licantresponse: No real change in the use; still p redominatelyresidential- even more so with the

Re: Solar Vail Apartments—Traffic Assessment Letter
501 North Frontage Rd.W,Vail,CO 81657
Dear Mr. Faessler:
The purpose of this traffic assessment is to determine if the redevelopment of the Solar Vail property will
require auxiliary lanes according to State of Colorado State, Highway Access Code, Volume 2, Code of
Colorado Regulations 601-1 March 2002. As outlined in Section 3-13, auxiliary turn lanes shall be installed on
category F-R roadways according to the criteria summarized below:
• A left turn lane with storage length plus taper length is required for any access with a projected peak
hour left ingress turning volume greater than 25 vehicles per hour(vph)for speed limits under 40 mph.
• A right turn lane with storage length plus taper length is required for any access with a projected peak
hour right ingress turning volume greater than 50 vehicles per hour(vph)for speed limits under 40 mph.
• A right turn acceleration lane with taper is required for any access with a projected peak hour right
turning volume greater than 50 vehicles per hour(vph)when the posted speed on the highway is greater
than 40 mph and the highway has only one lane for through traffic in the direction of the right turn.
(*Not applicable as the posted speed limit is under 40 mph)
• A left turn acceleration lane with transition taper may be required if it would be a benefit to the safety
and operation of the roadway or as determined by subsection 3.5. A left turn acceleration lane is
generally not required where: the posted speed is less than 45 mph, or the intersection is signalized, or
the acceleration lane would interfere with the left turn ingress movements to any other access.

Re: Solar Vail Apartments—Traffic Assessment Letter
501 North Frontage Rd.W,Vail,CO 81657
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Solar Vail property is located at 501 N. Frontage Rd. W, Vail, Colorado and is located within the Vail
Potato Patch Subdivision, Block 2, Lot 8 according to Eagle County records. The existing site driveway access
is located at approximately milepost 175.6 along the Interstate 70 North Frontage Road (West), which is
approximately 2,100 feet to the west of the Main Vail Exit 176.
The North Frontage Road has a posted speed limit of 35 mph and is classified as CDOT Category F-R. Nearby
adjacent access points are the Middle Creek Apartments (Ma Bell Rd.) approximately 1,700 feet to the east and
Red Sandstone Elementary School approximately 700 feet to the west. The closest minor road intersection to the
site property is Red Sandstone Road at approximately 2,460 feet to the west. All access points are along the
northerly side of the North Frontage Road.
The Solar Vail Apartments are owned by Sonnenalp Resorts and are used for seasonal employee housing.
Sonnenalp Resorts has two locations where employees work: Sonnenalp Resort in Vail and Sonnenalp Club in
Edwards. The original 3-story building constructed in 1978 (formally Sun Vail)has 24 one-bedroom units with
24 surface parking spaces available onsite. The existing access to the site is a steep asphalt paved driveway that
intersects the North Frontage Road at a skew angle of approximately 66 degrees.
The Solar Vail Apartments are located in close proximity walking distance along the pathways (approximately
1,200 feet to the west) to a public bus stop and pedestrian bridge crossing the interstate. The residents will be
able to access both Sonnenalp Resort locations and the Town of Vail via the public bus service. Alternatively,
residents can use the Town of Vail's core trail system to access a majority of the Town's amenities and central
business district via the pedestrian bridge crossing the interstate or along the North Frontage Road pathway. The
Sonnenalp Resort and Town core is within a mile walking distance.Refer to the attached vicinity map.
PROPOSED CONDITIONS
The redevelopment of the Solar Vail property will require full demolition of the existing building, site
improvements, and existing access to construct the new building. The proposed Solar Vail Apartments will have
four stories of housing over a parking garage, which includes a total of 65 deed-restricted employee units and
1,625 square feet of commercial office space.
The employee housing units will be a mix of studio, one,two, and three-bedroom apartment units. The majority
of the housing units will be occupied by Sonnenalp Resort employees, except for 9 housing units that are
proposed to be transferred to other Town of Vail qualifying employers for their employees. The commercial
office space will be occupied by Sonnenalp Resorts leasing office for support and management of the housing
units.
The newly constructed driveway access will be shifted to the east of the existing access by approximately 70
feet to ensure grades meet the code. The Owner will be granted an easement from the Town of Vail for the
relocated access that crosses the Town's property. There are only 34 onsite parking spaces (covered and
uncovered) provided. The Owner coordinated a parking variance from the Town's standards via a parking
management plan.This plan demonstrates;
• Close proximity or availability of alternative modes of transportation including,but not limited to,
public transit or shuttle services.
• A limitation placed in the deed restrictions limiting the number of cars for each unit.
• A demonstrated permanent program including, but not limited to, rideshare programs, carshare
programs, shuttle service,or staggered work shifts.

Re: Solar Vail Apartments—Traffic Assessment Letter

There is a proposed loading bay onsite for deliveries and trash pickup. Fire and trash trucks will access the site
from the Red Sandstone Elementary School property to the west and exit to the east. This driveway will have a
secure gate to limit access for those entities only.
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Projected traffic generation for the project is calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9TH Edition. The site is evaluated using 100%-unit occupancy with a single site
access point from the North Frontage Road. This a conservative approach, as only 34 parking spaces are
available for the 65 units. Trip generation for each land use was analyzed using the peak hour of adjacent street
traffic for both A.M. and P.M. This redevelopment includes two land uses, residential and commercial. These
land uses are calculated separately, but their respective peak hour trip generations are assumed to coincide and
were combined for to the simplicity of this traffic assessment.
The site weekday peak hour A.M and P.M trip generations for the 65 employee housing units and 1,625 square
feet of commercial leasing space are calculated using land use data for Low/Mid-Rise Apartment (Code 221)
and Single Tenant Office Building(Code 715),respectively.The ITE manual provides trip-generation rates for a
variety of different apartment buildings, including low-rise (1-2 floors), mid-rise (3-10 floors), and high-rise
(greater than 10 floors). Mid-rise and high-rise apartments tend to generate less vehicular traffic volumes when
located in close proximity to public transportation and within close walking distances to shopping and
employment opportunities. Using low-rise apartments trip generation rates should be a more conservative
approach.
The average trip generation rate was used for both land uses since no actual traffic counts were obtained.
Assumptions were also made that the left turn (egress) and right turn (ingress) movement distribution is 70%
due to the site location to the Town business core and the closer proximity to the I-70 on-ramp(Exit 176). Large
truck trip generation was assumed to be limited and would occur during non-peak hours so it was not included.

AVG=Average
SUMMARY
As shown in Table-2, the projected combined ingress left turn AM and PM peak hour volumes are 2.7 vph and
7.5 vph, respectively. These projected peak hour volumes are less than 25 vph, therefore a left turn auxiliary
lane is not required for this site.
As shown in Table-3, the projected combined right turn AM and PM peak hour volumes are 6.2 vph and 17.5
vph (ingress) and 7.2 vph and 4.7 vph (egress), respectively. These are less than 50 vph and the posted speed
limit is less than 40 mph,therefore a right turn auxiliary lane is not required for this site.
Limited onsite employee parking, close proximity to the public bus stop, and amenities within walking distance
is anticipated to minimize vehicular traffic to and from the site. Impacts to the adjacent intersections are
negligible due to the low traffic volumes projected from the site compared to the higher volumes on the frontage
road.No further intersection assessment was considered.
