Dear Mayor Slifer,
I am enclosing a copy of the preliminary market demand study that
was prepared for our proposed restaurant to be located on the
Getty Oil site. This should be included as part of the Getty Oil
Site Package that is to be reviewed at the meeting on Tuesday,

Dear Mr. Brooks:
In accordance with our agreement, we have completed a
preliminary market demand study for your proposed restaurant on
the southeast quadrant of the Interstate 70/U.S. 6 (East Vail)
Interchange in Vail, Colorado. It is understood that the
restaurant will have a dining capacity of 64 seats, a lounge
capacity,of 20 seats and 54 parking spaces. The improvements
will cover approximately 5,500 square feet, with the restaurant
itself consisting of 4,220 square feet.
The findings, conclusions, projections and recomendations in
this letter are preliminary in nature and subject to change in
the full market demand study.
Site Description
The subject site is one of the best available on East Vail,
because of its location adjacent to Interstate 70 and Frontage
Road (U.S. 6). The site is approximately four miles from the
center of Vail by either the Frontage Road or Interstate-
Highway.. East Vail is a residential community, a factor, which i
causes significant automobile traffic in the vicinity of the
subject.: A study of these traffic counts was completed by,.,
Leigh, Scott & Cleary, Inc. in October, 1983 and this traffic
study should be referred to for an understanding of automobile
traffic, volume :in .the area.
There will be good visibility of-.the restaurant for traffic
heading eastbound on Interstate 70, although visibility will be
restricted to westbound vehicles by a retaining wall in the
highway median. Visibility of the site from eastbound and
westbound traffic on Frontage Road (U.S. 6) is excellent.
Access to the subject property is excellent for vehicles
travelling on Interstate 70 or Frontage Road (U.S. 6).

Area Review
Vail is a major international ski resort located 100 miles west
of Denver, Colorado on Interstate 70. This area has grown
significantly since its founding in the early 1960's. As the
Vail area grew, adjacent areas such as West Vail, Lionshead and °
East Vail were ,developed with Vail, Lionshead and West Vail
becoming the center of the area's -resort activity. East Vail
has become the center of a significant amount of the area's long
term transient and permanent residential use. While the area's
principal focus is as a winter ski resort, there has been
significant growth of summer and fall activity in recent years
due to an emphasis on attaining conference business in the
area's resort facilities. This has been underscored by the
continued development of such resorts as the Mariott Mark, the
Westin Hotel, the Lodge at Vail, and a new upper echelon ski
resort and conference community at Beaver Creek, Colorado which
is located ten miles west of Vail on Interstate Highway 70.
Beaver Creek has been developed by Vail Associates and bookings
at both resorts are handled through the Vail Resort Association.
According to information compiled by the Vail Resort
Association, the average overnight population for the Gore
Valley (the area from the bottom of the Vail Pass near East Vail
to Dowd's Junction, which is located approximately 10 miles west
of the subject site) ranges from 9,000 people per night in the
spring and fall to approximately 15,000 people per-night in the
summer and nearly 21,000 people per night in the winter months.
At the time of the study (Winter of 1979-80) the permanent
resident population of the area was estimated at approximately
4,300 people. Retail sales in the area have shown dramatic
growth in the past decade. Estimates in 1971 were that
approximately $15,000,000 taxable retail sales occurred in the
town of Vail, while in 1981 approximately $120,000,000 in retail
sales took place. While recent economic conditions have caused
some short term softening of this growth, the long term picture
is considered indicative of the Vail area's strength as a major
international resort.

Restaurant Supply and Demand
According to estimates compiled by an association of restaurant
owners and operators in Vail, there are currently.approximately
100 restaurants in the Vail Area of which 85 have dining rooms.
The majority of these restaurants are open during the winter and
summer months only and closed.during the spring after the ski
mountain closes and reopen at the beginning of tourist season
(approximately April 15 - May 30). These restaurants also close
again at the end of the fall tourist season and reopen at the
beginning of ski season (approximately October 1 - November
15). Consequently, the majority of the restaurants are open 9
to 10 months per year.
As a result of our interviews with various personnel including
town officials, restaurant owners and operators and people
familiar with the Vail restaurant market, we have selected six
properties which due to location, market appeal.or concept can
be considered comparable or potentially competitive to the
subject property. The first of these properties, the Clubhouse
Restaurant, is located in the Clubhouse of the Vail golf course,
which is approximately two and one-half miles west of the
subject site. The Clubhouse Restaurant features a continental
menu and appeals to a combination market of which the majority
is local trade with the balance emanating from the tourist and
convention demand segments. The second property is the Saloon
Across The Street from the Eagle River Hotel. This property is
located in Minturn, Colorado, at Dowd's Junction, approximately
ten miles west of the subject site. This property has extremely
strong local patronage and has become an increasingly popular
tourist restaurant over the years. The third property selected
was the Chart House which is a steak and crab restaurant located
in Lionshead. The fourth comparable is the Vail Racquet Club
which is located in East Vail approximately one mile from the
subject site. The Vail Raquet Club has a continental menu and
has strong appeal among the local residents. The fifth
comparable is Giulino's, an Italian outlet located in Lionshead
and the, sixth comparable is Purcell's, a steak and crab
restaurant also located in Lionshead.
Our interviews indicated that there are two distinct markets.
Properties in the Lionshead and Vail Village Area receive the
greatest portion of their demand from the tourist market, while
7 .
Mr. Brooks
December 10, 1983
Page Four
the properties outside the village receive the bulk of their
demand from local trade. Restaurants outside the village which
have developed a reputation for quality food and service at a
reasonable price have also been able to attain good levels of
tourist demand after two to three years of operation. Our
preliminary work also indicates that demand is heaviest during
the evening meal, with less demand during the lunch period.
According to an informal study participated in by owners and
operators of Vail restaurants in 1978, there were approximately
50 restaurants serving a combined total of 3,000,000 meals. A
followup study done in 1982 indicated approximately 100
restaurants (85 with dining rooms) serving a combined total of
approximately 2,800,000 meals. According to those people
interviewed, this is partially a result of an increasing trend
for condominium users to cook their meals in the condominiums
rather than eat out. This information emphasizes the need for a
restaurant to be properly conceived, located and operated.
Our preliminary interviews indicated that there is need for a
restaurant catering to local clientele and the more
cost-conscious tourist trade. The indications were that an
American menu offering quality food at a reasonable price, such
as the $8.00 to $10.00 price range, would be appropriate. The
lunch menu should have a range of entrees, such as sandwiches,
soups and hamburgers; with steaks, seafood and hamburgers during
the dinner hours. It is our preliminary opinion that the
subject site will be suitable for such a food and beverage
outlet and that this location will be capable of attracting
strong local demand with tourist demand developing over the
years as a reputation for quality products is established. The
expected demand would emanate from the following sources:
1. A fair share of the existing area restaurant demand.
2.. Demand which is currently not satisfied by restaurants
in the price range recommended and which consequently
dines in the condominiums or the more expensive
restaurant facilities.
3. Latent demand which may be attracted off Interstate
70. Latent demand is demand which does not eat in the
area due to a lack of properly conceived dining
facilities.

Preliminary Recommendations
Based on our preliminary analysis, we find support for your
proposed 64 seat family style restaurant with a 20 seat lounge
on the subject site. We recommend that the proposed restaurant
obtain a liquor license but not provide nightly entertainment.
As in any restaurant., success is directly affected by the
competence of the management, specifically the quality of food,
beverages and service and proper market orientation.
It is imperative that the facility have strong local appeal at
reasonable prices and that consistent management is in place at
all times.
Preliminary Representative Year Operating Statement
The following statement is preliminary in nature and is subject
to revision in the full market demand study. It is based on
competent, aggressive management, excellent control of expenses
and no significant change in the supply and demand situation
from that set forth in this preliminary letter. Volumes are
based on interviews with comparable area operations and adjusted
for the proposed property. Expenses are based on interviews as
well as data compiled by the National Restaurant Association and
our file data. An underlying assumption of the entire
preliminary report is that the proposed property will be
competently and efficiently managed and developed and operated
by management experienced in such operations. It is also
assumed that the restaurant will be properly and aggressively
marketed.

STATEMENT TO
VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
BY: VAIL VILLAGE INN ASSOCIATES
RE: PICCIDILLY SQUARE INC. PROPOSAL
VAIL VILLAGE INN PHASE FOUR
DATE: December 20, 1983
Mayor Slifer and Members of Council, I am James Cowperthwaite. My
brother Kit and I represent Vail Village Inn Associates, the developer and
majority owner of Vail Village Inn Phase III. We also represent the current
property owners in Phase III in our capacity as officers of the Village Inn
Plaza Condominium Association.
We have nothing to do with the Applicant's development group. In fact,
if things go as currently planned and Joe Staufer sells out his entire
interest in the Vail Village Inn properties, we will wind up as the only
remaining property owners in Special Development District 6 other than the
Piccidilly group itself. Hence our interest in resolving as much as possible
before the project gets underway in earnest.
During the past several months,.we have followed Piccidilly's approval
process with great care. We have listened closely to the deliberations of the
Vail Planning and Environmental Commission as well as to those of this body.
We have-had a number of discussions with Staff and the Applicant. Our
interest is intense. We have very significant fiduciary responsibilities to
many people. We are obliged to do the most thoughtful and best job we can for
the members of our Condominium Association and for our partners in the
development of Phase III. We also acknowledge a duty to the Town of Vail and
its citizens to be good citizens ourselves.
At this time we have determined to support conditionally Piccidilly's
proposal. We believe that what remains of the venerable Vail Village Inn,
including the Dairy Depot Building, should come down and make way for
redevelopment. We agree with just about everything Joe Staufer and Fred
Hillers' friends have had to say in favor of a new, elegant hotel .facility.
We think the inclusion of the Amoco corner into the Development District is,
on balance, a good thing. If properly done, the successful completion of
Phase IV will help everyone and hurt no one.
.Doing the job properly is what the following suggested conditions are all
about. But before we get into them, we want to say a few things about Special
Development District 6.
SDD 6 started out as eight pages of prose and a schematic site plan
approved by your predecessors seven years ago. It is now Village Inn Plaza, a
twenty million dollar project comprising fine restaurants, beautiful stores,
lovely homes as well as many hopes and dreams. [,That started out as a few
seeds is now a garden. SDD 6 has become incarnate in the form of Phases I, II
and III. Joe Staufer and the Cowperthwaites, with help from an enormous
number of other people, put flesh on the legal bones of SDD 6. It has been
transformed into more than the stuff of a quickly passing view plain or
ethereal first impressions for new visitors to Vail.
So when SDD 6 is mentioned in your deliberations, we urge you to bring to
mind not so much legal codes as a living, healthy human reality fully
-2-
representative of Vail's commitment to lasting, quality experiences for its
residents and its guests.
{
In the spirit of fairness, we also ask that the Council keep in mind one
other thing. We built Phase III in,strict conformity with the letter and
spirit of SDD 6. We have submitted for your inspection a copy of a letter
from the Town to our partner and fellow officer of our Condominium
Association, Josef Staufer, which says as much. We did not deem its
constraints as obsolete, imprecise or unworkable. We considered those
constraints to be creative challenges worthy of respect. We relied and
continue to rely on SDD 6 to provide the same creative constraints for the
development of Phase IV.
Now for the conditions we would like to see incorporated into Council's
approval of the Applicant's proposal:
1. We think Piccidilly needs to come up with a better plan to provide
vehicular access into the parking structures. As currently contemplated, the
main access for cars would be off of the Frontage Road and down the existing
ramp on the east side of Phase III. Drivers would then make their way through
the security area on parking level 2, and park their cars. Later, they would
exit onto Vail Road at the west end of the buildings. Gordon Pierce has
suggested that the traffic flow could be reversed under certain circumstances
such as at the end of a busy ski weekend.
d
-3-
i
The problem is that the existing ramp' at the east side of Phase III has
been designed and built as a secured, secondary entryway to a 29 unit
condominium project and not as the principal access to a much larger complex
containing an additional 185 hotel rooms and related amenities. The ramp in
question is short, narrow and steep. In fact it goes down 17 feet in a mere
112 feet of horizontal travel. That computes to an average 15% grade which is
over twice that of the approaches to the Eisenhower Tunnel. Because of these
constraints, it is currently being used as a one-way-down driveway.
Although the ramp features an electrical snow melt system, these things
have a way of breaking down which could create disaster.
Thus we suggest that Piccidilly provide an alternate, main access route
into the complex as a condition of your approval.
2. Good progress has been made in scaling down the sheer bulk of the
original buildings proposed. However, there are still some architectural
scars remaining from the semi-successful surgery performed on the original
monster. We still think the main north building projects too far south into
the plaza area. We also object to the height of the proposed, new Building
V. Important views from at least eight of our condominium homes would be
virtually obliterated. A reduction of one full story in the ridge line would
significantly ameliorate this problem at a cost of a few vaulted ceilings in
the proposed Building V.
-4- ;
i
Accordingly, as additional conditions to your approval, we request that
the Applicant continue to use best efforts to reduce the massive thrust of the
north building into the plaza area and cut a minimum of 10 feet off of the
ridge line of the new Building V.
3. The Applicant wishes to amend SDD 6 to allow for more GRFA. We do
not object in principle to some flexibility in this regard. However, to the
extent that such extra GRFA would inhibit solutions to the problems of
excessive bulk and crowding referred to in paragraph 2 above, we do object.
The condition we would like to see imposed in this connection is that
little or no additional GRFA be granted unless it can be contained in a less
massive structure.
4. We remain vitally concerned with the question of architectural
incompatibility between Phases I, II and III on the one hand and Phase IV on
the other. We have received assurances from Gordon Pierce and Fred Hiller
that the facade of Phase IV would be harmonious. However, architectural
eompatability involves a lot more than superficial facade features. Roof
shapes and pitches, massing, landscape design, the preservation of the nooks
and crannies that are part of the charm of Phases I, II and III, are all
involved.
We believe that the maintenance of architectural eompatability is one of
the most important mandates of SDD 6. It was SDD 6 that assured Joe Staufer
-5-
I
i
i
i
of functional and architectural harmony between Phases I and II on the one
hand and Phase III on the other.
We believe we are entitled to the same assurances.
We are very loathe to leave such an important matter for design review
consideration. We believe a proper procedure would be for Council to appoint
the architects that designed the existing phases - namely Bill Ruoff and Ralph
Santangelo - to rule on whether or not the Applicant has achieved functional
and design compatibility.
We suggest this as a fourth condition to your approval.
5. Council has already discussed a requirement whereby Applicant must
present satisfactory evidence of its ability to complete construction of the
hotel including the furnishing, equipping and landscaping of same. We
wholeheartedly endorse this requirement. An uncompleted project at this most
prominent of all Vail locations would be disasterous for the Town and have a
tremendous negative impact upon existing phases and their occupants.
A similar catastrophy would occur if the old Dairy Depot building were
allowed to remain after the hotel were built. The new plaza would be
intolerably cluttered and the enjoyment of all previous achievements would be
significantly impaired.
i
f
i
z
7
-6- i
i
I
i
We commend for your consideration a condition whereby Phase V be
abandoned. There should only be one phase, Phase IV. Phase IV would include
the proposed new Building V. The critical path for construction would have
provisions to allow current tenants of the Dairy Depot building to temporarily
relocate before construction starts on the new Building V. The Applicant's
presentation of evidence of ability to complete construction should include
ability to complete Building V as well. One Building Permit only should be
bought and paid for and one final Certificate of Occupancy should be issued.
The above list of suggested conditions to your approval does not pretend
to be exhaustive. They are the best we can do at this time. We continue to
rely on you, Members of the Vail Town Council, to make the best and wisest
decisions you can. In this regard, we commend to you almost all of the
recommendations of the Town Staff. Dick Ryan and his colleagues have done a
thorough, thoughtful job to date and we applaud them.
We want Phase IV to happen. Fred Hiller and his people need your
approval now so that critical steps in the development time-table not be
missed. We have been told that delays in gaining your conditional approval
could result in the failure of the Applicant's project to move forward. That
is an unpalatable possibility and we therefore urge you to grant approval now
subject to the conditions outlined above together with those developed by
Staff over the past months.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor Slifer,
As you know the.residents of the Gold..Peak neighborhood have met frequently
since late May to seek solutions to the Gold Peak Redevelopment Plan with Vail
Associates, Inc. On June 4, 1983 we formed the Gold Peak Neighborhood Association
which includes; Manor Vail Lodge, the Ramshorn Lodge, Mill Creek Circle, the
Texas Townhouses, Pinos del Norte, All Seasons, Vail Trails East, Vail Trails
Chalet, Northwoods Condominiums, and most recently, the Tivoli Lodge.
The goals of this association were 1) to seek a positive solution
to the Gold Peak Redevelopment Plan, 2) to ammend the Protective Covenants
in the neighborhood to assure long term protection from overdevelopment and
3) to initiate a neighborhood masterplan for the area.
We feel as a neighborhood we have made great progress toward achieving
these goals. While the representatives of the association may not be able to
speak for each and every owner, it is our consensus opinion that there is general
optimism and support for our goals and for the progress we have made towards
reaching them.
We appreciate the sincere efforts made by Mr. Robert Parker and Mr.
Joe Macy of Vail Associates to continually meet with us to seek solutions to
problems and resolutions to issues. We also appreciate the willingness with
which the Town of Vail Planning Staff assisted our efforts over the past several
months.
In summary the Gold Peak Neighborhood Association is pleased to support the
Gold Peak Redevelopment Plan as presented to you by Vail Associates. We believe
the project will not only improve our neighborhood but will provide a much needed,
modern facility at the.base of Gold Peak. We believe this will have a positive
impact on the entire community.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Dear Mayor Slifer:
As a part-time resident in East Vail (Unit 170:6,
Timber Falls Condominiums), I wish to express my
feelings towards the proposed restaurant to be
located near the East Vail exit.
Inasmuch as East Vail only has one restaurant now,
I feel it would be very beneficial to all East Vail
residents to have a place close by to eat out with-
out having to go into the main Vail village or West
Vail.
I therefore strongly urge the Council to support
the proposed new restaurant.
Sincerely,

SKI PATROL
Grossman Productions is in the pre-production stage of
production of a feature-film project, SKI PATROL. The film,
will be produced entirely in Colorado, at a major ski area
and in surrounding mountain environs. It is designed for
both theatrical distribution and domestic and foreign
television release.
Unlike other film projects undertaken in Colorado in
recent years, SKI PATROL will be produced with production
values equal to those of major releases and network television
movies-of-the-week. It will feature a major motion picture
star, Timothy Bottoms (whose credits include leading roles
in THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, PAPER CHASE and ROLLER COASTER.)
Total budget for the film is currently estimated at
$2,000,000. Distribution and release agreements are
currently being sought by Grossman Productions.
SKI PATROL was written by Arnold Grossman, and is currently
in revisions to expand the role lo be played by Timothy
Bottoms.
Principal photography is scheduled to begin March 15, 1983.
This will be preceded by a three-week pre-production sc1iedule
on location; during that time, Mr. Bottoms will be given
three weeks of private ski instruction. (He is currently
an intermediate to advanced skier; this instruction will
enable him to ski believably enough for cuts back and forth
with his "ski-in.")
Governor Richard Lamm will also appear in a cameo role in
the film, playing the role of "The Governor." He has also
given his support to the entire project, and has offered
the cooperation of his office and the Colorado Motion
Picture Advisory Board. This support will help the company
maximize promotional opportunities for the project, for
the state of Colorado and for the ski area in which the film
will be produced.

Director of Photography for SKI PATROL will be Virgil
Harper. He served in that capacity in the production of
two recent film starring Timothy Bottoms, and has worked
on various film projects with Grossman Productions, including
the docWentary, FREEZE! AN AMERICAN PEACE STORY.
The story is about a man who tries to extract a three-
million dollar ransom from the Board Chairman of Mount
Williams Ski Resort. He has done so to get revenge from
a former commanding officer in the Ninth Mountain Division;
the officer had been responsible for the death of two of
the man's close friends, in an avalanche accident. The
leading character, Henry Despres (played by Bottoms), is a
sympathetic "villain." He charms the audience with his
style, his wit and his audacity to stage so spectacular a
crime. He holds some 250 skiers hostage on the gondola
lift, threatening to sever the cable if his demands are not
met. The film is played with a mix of James Bond-like
parody and high adventure. It will feature acrobatic
skiing, smowmobile chases, a helicopter crash and the
triggering of an avalanche in*lattempt to stop the fleeing
Henry Despres. There are several human stories woven into
the plot; they are told through focusing on groups of
people within the gondola cars.
Release of the film is scheduled for December, 1984.
SKI PATROL will be the first in a series of film and
television projects to be undertaken by Grossman Productions
as part of a business plan to create a new production
center, located in Colorado, to provide films and programs,
at reduced budget levels, to the film and cable television
industries. These projects will take full advantage of
the favorable climate conditions in-Colorado, and of the
sizeable technical and support labor pools in the state.

Re: Vail Associates Redevelopment
Plan for Vail Village, Fifth Filinp,
Dear Mr. Slifer:
I am writing this letter on behalf of my clients
who are owners of Units D-7, D-13, E-10 and E-11 in North-
woods Condominiums to make you aware of their position
concerning the redevelopment plan filed by Vail Associates
with respect to the Vail Village, Fifth Filing. We under-
stand that this matter is presently pending before the Town
Council. It is my clients' position that under no circum-
stances should any parking, including underground parking,
be permitted in the area of the existing underground ski
club facility to the southeast of the main building. Any
parking garage in this location, whether underground or
surface, poses the threat of serious traffic problems on
Vail Valley Drive and would create traffic noise and con-
gestion in what was formerly a scenic, open space area. If
additional public parking is required, we are sure that
other more appropriate sites are available nearer to the
Frontage Road which could accu..wodate any need for
additional parking.
My clients feel strongly about this matter since
several of them purchased their units in reliance upon
representations by Vail Associates that the area immediately
adjacent to Northwoods would remain undisturbed open space
and. would not be developed in any manner other than with the

existing underground ski club building and related recrea-
tional facilities. Should Vail Associates now choose to
breach that understanding, my clients would have no choice
but to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to enforce
their rights.
We have reviewed the letter to Mr. Patten dated
December 15, 1983 from Lewis M. Quirk and endorse the
position taken in that letter on behalf of the Northwoods
Homeowners Association.
Please bring this letter to the attention of the
Town Council prior to the final hearing on the redevelopment
plan for the Fifth Filing. Thank you for your
consideration.
Respectfully submitted,

STATEMENT TO
VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
BY: VAIL VILLAGE INN ASSOCIATES
RE: PICCIDILLY SQUARE INC. PROPOSAL
VAIL VILLAGE INN PHASE FOUR
DATE: December 20, 1983
Mayor Slifer and Members of Council, I am James Cowperthwaite. My
brother Kit and I represent Vail Village Inn Associates, the developer and
majority owner of Vail Village Inn Phase III. We also represent the current
property owners in Phase III in our capacity as officers of the Village Inn
Plaza Condominium Association.
We have nothing to do with the Applicant's development group. In fact,
if things go as currently planned and Joe Staufer sells out his entire
interest in the Vail Village Inn properties, we will wind up as the only
remaining property owners in Special Development District 6 other than the
Piccidiliy group itself. Hence our interest in resolving as much as possible
before the project gets underway in earnest.
During the past several months, we have followed Piccidilly's approval
process with great care. We have listened closely to the deliberations of the
Vail Planning and Environmental Commission as well as to those of this body.
We have-had a number of discussions with Staff and the Applicant. Our
interest is intense. We have very significant fiduciary responsibilities to
many people. We are obliged to do the most thoughtful and best job we can for
the members of our Condominium Association and for our partners in the
development of Phase III. We also acknowledge a duty to the Town of Vail and
its citizens to be good citizens ourselves.
At this time we have determined to support conditionally Piccidilly's
proposal. We believe that what remains of the venerable Vail Village Inn,
including the Dairy Depot Building, should come down and make way for
redevelopment. We agree with just about everything Joe Staufer and Fred
Hillers' friends have had to say in favor of a new, elegant hotel facility.
We think the inclusion of the Amoco corner into the Development District is,
on balance, a good thing. If properly done, the successful completion of
Phase IV will help everyone and hurt no one.
Doing the job properly is what the following suggested conditions are all
about. But before we get into them, we want to say a few things about Special
Development District 6.
SDD 6 started out as eight pages of prose and a schematic site plan
approved by your predecessors seven years ago. It is now Village Inn Plaza, a
twenty million dollar project comprising fine restaurants, beautiful stores,
lovely homes as well as many hopes and dreams. What started out as a few
seeds is now a garden. SDD 6 has become incarnate in the form of Phases I, II
and III. Joe Staufer.and the Cowperthwaites, with help from an enormous
number of other people, put flesh on the legal bones of SDD 6. It has been
transformed into more than the stuff of a quickly passing view plain or
ethereal first impressions for new visitors to Vail.
So when SDD 6 is mentioned in your deliberations, we urge you to bring to
mind not so much legal codes as a living, healthy human reality fully
-2-
representative of Vail's commitment to lasting, quality experiences for its
residents and its guests.
In the spirit of fairness, we also ask that the Council keep in mind one
other thing. We built Phase III in strict conformity with the letter and
spirit of SDD 6. We have submitted for your inspection a copy of a letter
from the Town to our partner and fellow officer of our Condominium
Association, Josef Staufer, which says as much. We did not deem its
constraints as obsolete, imprecise or unworkable. We considered those
constraints to be creative challenges worthy of respect. We relied and
continue to rely on SDD 6 to provide the same creative constraints for the
development of Phase IV.
Now for the conditions we would like to see incorporated into Council's
approval of the Applicant's proposal:
1. We think Piccidilly needs to come up with a better plan to provide
vehicular access into the parking structures. As currently contemplated, the
main access for cars would be off of the Frontage Road and down the existing
ramp on the east side of Phase III. Drivers would then make their way through
the security area on parking level 2, and park their cars. Later, they would
exit onto Vail Road at the west end of the buildings. Cordon Pierce has
suggested that the traffic flow could be reversed under certain circumstances
such as at the end of a busy ski weekend.
-3-
The problem is that the existing ramp at the east side of Phase III has
been designed and built as a secured, secondary entryway to a 29 unit
condominium project and not as the principal access to a much larger complex
containing an additional 185 hotel rooms and related amenities. The ramp in
question is short, narrow and steep. In fact it goes down 17 feet in a mere
112 feet of horizontal travel. That computes to an average 15% grade which is
over twice that of the approaches to the Eisenhower Tunnel. Because of these
constraints, it is currently being used as a one-way-down driveway.
Although the ramp features an electrical snow melt system, these things
have a way of breaking down which could create disaster.
Thus we suggest that Piccidilly provide an alternate, main access route
into the complex as a condition of your approval.
2. Good progress has been made in scaling down the sheer bulk of the
original buildings proposed. However,'there are still some architectural
scars remaining from the semi-successful surgery performed on the original
monster. We still think the main north building projects too far south into
the plaza area. We also object to the height of the proposed, new Building
V. Important views from at least eight of our condominium homes would be
virtually obliterated. A reduction of one full story in the ridge line would
significantly ameliorate this problem at a cost of a few vaulted ceilings in
the proposed Building V.
-4-
Accordingly, as additional conditions to your approval, we request that
the Applicant continue to use best efforts to reduce the massive thrust of the
north building into the plaza area and cut a minimum of 10 feet off of the
ridge line of the new Building V.
3. The Applicant wishes to amend SDD 6 to allow for more GRFA. We do
not object in principle to some flexibility in this regard. However, to the
extent that such extra GRFA would inhibit solutions to the problems of
excessive bulk and crowding referred to in paragraph 2 above, we do object.
The condition we would like to see imposed in this connection is that
little or no additional GRFA be granted unless it can be contained in a less
massive structure.
4. We remain vitally concerned with the question of architectural
incompatibility between Phases I, II and III on the one hand and Phase IV on
the other. We have received assurances from Gordon Pierce and Fred Hiller
that the facade of Phase IV would be harmonious. However, architectural
compatability involves a lot more than superficial facade features. Roof
shapes and pitches, massing, landscape design, the preservation of the nooks
and crannies that are part of the charm of Phases I, II and III, are all
involved.
We believe that the maintenance of architectural compatability is one of
the most important mandates of SDD 6. It was SDD 6 that assured Joe Staufer
-5-
of functional and architectural harmony between Phases I and II on the one
hand and Phase III on the other.
We believe we are entitled to the same assurances.
We are very loathe to leave such an important matter for design review
consideration. We believe a proper procedure would be for Council to appoint
the architects that designed the existing phases - namely Rill Ruoff and Ralph
Santangelo - to rule on whether or not the Applicant has achieved functional
and design compatibility.
We suggest this as a fourth condition to your approval.
5. Council has already discussed a requirement whereby Applicant must
present satisfactory evidence of its ability to complete construction of the
hotel including the furnishing, equipping and landscaping of same. We
wholeheartedly endorse this requirement. An uncompleted project at this most
prominent of all Vail locations would be disasterous for the Town and have a
tremendous negative impact upon existing phases and their occupants.
A similar catastrophy would occur if the old Dairy Depot building were
allowed to remain after the hotel were built. The new plaza would be
intolerably cluttered and the enjoyment of all previous achievements would be
significantly impaired.
-6-
We commend for your consideration a condition whereby Phase V be
abandoned. There should only be one phase, Phase IV. Phase IV would include
the proposed new Building V. The critical path for construction would have
provisions to allow current tenants of the Dairy Depot building to temporarily
relocate before construction starts on the new Building V. The Applicant's
presentation of evidence of ability to complete construction should include
ability to complete Building V as well. One Building Permit only should be
bought and paid for and one final Certificate of Occupancy should be issued.
The above list of suggested conditions to your approval does not pretend
to be exhaustive. They are the best we can do at this time. We continue to
rely on you, Members of the Vail Town Council, to make the best and wisest
decisions you can. In this regard, we commend to you almost all of the
recommendations of the Town Staff. Dick Ryan and his colleagues have done a
thorough, thoughtful job to date and we applaud them.
We want Phase IV to happen. Fred Hiller and his people need your
approval now,4so that critical steps in the development time-table not be
missed. We have been told that delays in gaining your conditional approval
could result in the failure of the Applicant's project to move forward. That
is an unpalatable possibility and we therefore urge you to grant approval now
subject to the conditions outlined above together with those developed by
Staff over the past months.
Thank you.

Scott L. Levin Dear Mr. Patten:
James L. English
Amy L.Durfee This will confirm our telephone conversation of December
15, 1983. As you are aware, we represent the Northwoods
'
Max P. Zall Homeowners Association with respect to a certain re-
of Counsel development plan filed by Vail Associates with respect
AzH to Vail Village 5th Filing, and presently pending be-
File No. fore the Town Council.
It is our understanding that the re-development plan
provides for "potential underground parking" underneath
the tennis and/or volleyball courts to the southeast of
the main building. In our telephone conversation, you
stated unequivocally that the provision for such poten-
tial underground parking, as provided in the re-develop-
ment plan, does not in any way constitute a waiver of
any conditional use or other requirements normally im-
posed by the Town of Vail for the development of property.
In fact, that portion of the re-development plan only
states the present master plan of Vail Associates for
that property and it does not constitute either a re-
quest by Vail Associates for approval of such plan or
approval of such plan by the Town of Vail. The document
is advisory and anticipatory in nature rather than final
and binding on any party.
We have been advised by our client, and wish to put the
Town of Vail on notice,-that Northwoods would object to
the approval of any such underground parking in the lo-
cation shown on the re-development plan. The reasons
for such objection are numerous and include the following:
(1) current road access to the site is not adequate
to handle the increased traffic flows which would re-
sult from additional parking;
{ (2) increased traffic in the area would significantly
7887 E. Belleview, site 700 ! alter the present residential character of the neighborhoods,

and would substantially and adversely impact those
neighborhoods by increasing traffic, noise, pollution
and safety hazards;
(3) more appropriate locations for such parking
are available in closer proximity to Interstate 70, and
the selection of any such locations would confine the
adverse affects created thereby to areas which have
already been impacted by substantial traffic.
Please see that this letter is brought to the attention_
.of the Town Council prior to the final hearing on the
aforesaid re-development plan for Vail Village 5th Filing.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please
do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. -

Re: Vail Associates Redevelopment
Plan for Vail Village, Fifth Filing
Dear Mr. Slifer:
I am writing this letter on behalf of my clients
who are owners of Units D-7, D-13, E-10 and E-11 in North-
woods Condominiums to make you aware of their position
concerning the redevelopment plan filed by Vail Associates
with respect to the Vail Village, Fifth Filing. We under-
stand that this matter is presently pending before the Town
Council. It is my clients' position that under no circum-
stances should any parking, including underground parking,
be permitted in the area of the existing underground ski
club facility to the southeast of the main building. Any
parking garage in this location, whether underground or
surface, poses the threat of serious traffic problems on
Vail Valley Drive and would create traffic noise and con-
gestion in what was formerly a scenic, open space area. If
additional public parking is required, we are sure that
other more appropriate sites are available nearer to the
Frontage Road which could accommodate any need for
additional parking.
My clients feel strongly about this matter since
several of them purchased their units in reliance upon
representations by Vail Associates that the area immediately
adjacent to Northwoods would remain undisturbed open space
and would not be developed in any manner other than with the

existing underground ski club building and related recrea-
tional facilities. Should Vail Associates now choose to
breach that understanding, my clients would have no choice
but to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to enforce
their rights.
We have reviewed the letter to Mr. Patten dated
December 15, 1983 from Lewis M. Quirk and endorse the
position taken in that letter on behalf of the Northwoods
Homeowners Association.
Please bring this letter to the attention of the
Town Council prior to the final hearing on the redevelopment
plan for the Fifth Filing. Thank you for your
consideration.

Re: Vail Village Inn
CEI #388.00
Dear Mr. Hiller:
Attached is our report concerning the traffic impacts of the proposed Vail
Village Inn development. In general, we have found that the changes in
traffic volumes would be very minor. Neither the increased use nor the
changes in traffic orientation would have a significant effect on traffic at
the intersection of Vail Road and South Frontage Road.
- We are recommending that adequate right-of-way be reserved for an additional
lane on northbound Vail Road. This will be necessary if this intersection is
signalized. On South Frontage Road, the deceleration lane in front of the
project should be extended west. This will reduce friction created by the new
entrance.
Please call if you have any questions.
Very truly yours,
CENTENNIAL ENGINEERING, INC.

For
VAIL VILLAGE INN DEVELOPMENT
Centennial Engineering, Inc. has reviewed the proposed Vail Village Inn
development at the southeast corner of the intersection at Vail Road and the
South Frontage Road. The development proposed would replace an existing
highway-oriented motel, restaurant, and service station with a destination,
resort-oriented hotel and restaurant. To offset the closing of the Amoco
Service Station, additional pumps will be added to the Standard Service
Station on the southwest corner of the, intersection. Existing commercial
space in the southern part of the complex will be replaced in-kind.
Table I shows the vehicular trip generation for the uses which will be
replaced. This table also shows the proposed new facilities and their trip
generation. Traffic is shown on a daily basis as well as for the morning and
evening peak hours. The following descriptions of current and proposed
facility sizes and usage is based on discussions with the developer.
° The Amoco Service Station which has 16 pumps will be removed, and 8 pumps
will be added to the Standard Service Station across Vail Road.
° The Village Inn Restaurant, whose seating capacity is approximately 110
seats, will be replaced by a 120 seat, quality restaurant. The Village Inn
is a high-turnover type restaurant more oriented to serving vehicular
traffic along the Frontage Road and I-70.
° The existing 64 unit motel will be replaced by 185 higher quality units
more oriented to the Vail destination resort skier. The manager of the
current motel states that approximately 50 units are used nightly by
travelers along I-70.
Comparisons of current and future traffic generation shows that traffic will
decrease with the proposed development, with the exception of morning inbound
traffic which increases slightly.
Figures 1 and 2 show recent morning and evening turning movement counts at the
intersection of Vail Road and South Frontage Road. The southbound and
eastbound approaches are currently congested. The proposed development will
have a one-way orientation for access and egress. Traffic will enter the
parking garage from South Frontage Road at the existing driveway east of the
redevelopment area. Outbound traffic will exit onto Vail Road south of the
current service station. Figures 1 and 2 also,show future peak hour traffic,
resulting from the changed use and reorientation of access and egress.
Comparisons of current and future volumes show that any increases would be
very minor and that certain turning volumes would actually decrease. Overall,
these traffic shifts would have a negligible effect on traffic operations at
the intersection. However, closing the current access points which are very
close to the intersection is a positive measure that will improve traffic
operations. Such an improvement would be more noticeable if the intersection
is signalized.
There are two specific recommendations for this project.. First, adequate
right-of-way should be reserved on the northbound approach of Vail Road to
allow future widening for a left turn lane if the intersection is signalized.
The lane would provide storage for two vehicles (50 feet long) with adequate
tapers. Secondly, the deceleration lane along South Frontage Road should be
extended west to the vicinity of the Amoco Station driveway. This will allow
adequate deceleration distance for vehicles stopping at the passenger loading
area. It will also allow these vehicles to proceed to the entrance driveway
without interfering with through traffic on South Frontage Road.
