Subject: Vail Event Center Parking and Neighborhood Impact
Thank you for your time during the PEC meeting yesterday. As we all learn more about this application we will all be
coming up with new questions and hopefully some solutions. It should be reiterated that the neighbors and the golfers
will drop their objections if the golf course is left intact. Saving #18 solves the golf course destruction issue and most, if
not all of the neighbors issues. Tell the applicant to remove their idea of an outdoor event space with party noise to
10PM or midnight in tents and patios and we can start to move forward.
The proposed parking plan does not solve 200 added persons coming to that location. That 200 number is users and
does not include servers and bartenders and musicians or kitchen or valet staff. (the plan is flawed) The proposed
parking plan also does not state where these people will park and be bused from. (the plan is flawed) The impact to the
Ford Park parking or Village Parking is not addressed. (the plan is flawed) We all know that those other TOV locations
are often full on the same nights when events will want to take place. (the plan is flawed) The car occupancy figures of
3 people per car is not reasonable. (the plan is flawed) The current VGC parking use survey does not reflect an active golf
restaurant. Currently the restaurant is not serving past 4 or 5PM and not being utilized by the golf community or the
outside community because the food service stinks. (the plan is flawed) The same parking requirement anticipated by a
restaurant in Vail Village with 244 seats should be the standard and that is before we increase that number with outdoor
seating. The event parking needs to be added to a golf course at capacity with 100 golfers on the course at any given
point in time, up to closing which is sunset not 4 or 6PM. If this current use survey at VGC was done on days where the
rain interrupted play the occupancy calculations are wrong. (the plan is flawed) If golf course staff is expected to arrive
to work in the future by bus, where are they going to park. (the plan is flawed) If banquet set up people or caterers are
arriving at noon where will they park? (the plan is flawed) If food service delivery trucks are going to be coming on days
when there is a shotgun golf start, the delivery area is also the cart staging area. (the plan is flawed) If you add a 10’
setback to the existing parking lot you will have less parking. (the plan is flawed) If you have a parking lot attendant
requirement to turn event attendees away, do you search the trunk of the car for golf clubs before allowing
access? Maybe you should add a code enforcement officer to the cost of each event. (the plan is flawed) Weddings
typically take place during the daylight. (the plan is flawed) If cars park on the street, TOV buses may not be able to
make the turn around. (the plan is flawed) Fire access to the building is not evident on the parking plan. (the plan is
flawed)
Please give this applicant the same level of scrutiny you have given other developers and property owners in recent
years.
