VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
WORK SESSION
TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1987
2:00 p.m.
EXPANDED AGENDA
2:00 1. Discussion of Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund Projects -
Pat Dodson Softball Field Construction and Gold Medal Stream Tract
Charlie Wick
Action Requested of Council: Approve/deny the projects and
dollars. Softball field improvements -$25,000; Gold Medal
Stream Tract improvements - $5,000.
Background Rationale: Softball fields are in need of the
second phase of development. Highway drainage and lack of
subsurface drainage on the softball fields make them unsafe
and unplayable at times. The proposed construction should
remedy these problems. Funds were not available for this
phase when the fields were first improved.
We have been working with Trout Unlimited and Colorado
Wildlife to make stream tract improvements in Gore Creek,
particularly at Ford Park. The TOV $5,000 will be matched
by Trout Unlimited and the total of both funds will be
matched 3 to 1 by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Funds
will be used either for stream tract improvements or to
deepen the Big Horn Lake.
Staff Recommendation: We recommend approval of the projects
and the funds, especially the 1987 softball projects so that
we can start construction before the softball season.
2:20 2. Discussion of Ramshorn Condominiums Restrictions
Kristan Pritz
This is a request to relax the use restriction at the
Ramshorn Condominiums which limits owner usage to 2 weeks in
the winter and summer high seasons. Applicants: Mr. David
and Mr. Tim Garton
Action Requested of Council: Review the staff information
concerning numbers of accommodation units per lodges and
associated lodge amenities.
Background Rationale: On March 24th, the Council discussed
the possibility of relaxing the use restriction on the
Ramshorn Condominiums. Council requested the staff research
the number of accommodation units per lodge to determine if
perhaps the lifting of the use restriction should be allowed
for smaller lodges. The research indicates that
approximately 45% of the lodges in Vail fall within the
category of having 10-38 lodge rooms. Eighteen percent
total number of accommodation units are in small lodges.
Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending the use
restriction be changed to 4 weeks and the restriction be
applied to all lodges regardless of number of accommodation
units.
2:35 3. Discussion of Road Easement Vacation - Lot 18, Vail Meadows
Kristan Pritz
Action Requested of Council: Approve/deny the vacation
request.
Background Rationale: A 25 ft. road easement is located on
the northeast lot.line of Lot 18. The owners, Richard and
Barbara Devoe, would like to vacate the easement as it is
not planned to be used for a road in the future. The Town
has no plan to develop a road through the easement. Utility
company signatures have also been obtained approving the
vacation.
Staff Recommendation: Approve the vacation.
2:45 4. Discussion of Wording concerning Primary/Secondary
Rick Pylman Connection in the Municipal Code
Action Requested of Council: Give further direction to
staff on formulating final wording for Section 18.54.050,
C13.
Background Rationale: At a previous Work Session, the
Council directed staff to work on wording concerning the
required connection of Primary/Secondary units. Staff will
present findings for Council review.
3:00 5. Council/VMRD Committee Report
Kent Rose
Eric Affeldt Background Rationale: The committee met again and will have
additional information for Council discussion.
3:10 6. Council Meeting Schedule
Background Rationale: We need to coordinate vacation
schedules to see if any Council meetings over the next few
weeks need to be cancelled.
3:20 7. Council Appointee to Signage Consultant Selection Committee
Stan Berryman
Background Rationale: Staff would appreciate a Council
member serving on this committee.
3:25 8. Parking and Transportation Task Force - May 5
Stan Berryman
Background Rationale: The Parking and Transportation Task
Force met last week and their recommendations will be
brought to Council on May 5.

Town of Vail
Box 7
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Barbara;
One mon-lh ago vov askec ne to get to-ether a list of what the
Town of Vail woLid need to !^prove the so.'toall fields. Ihave
been working to comDiete t::is lisL and put prices to these items.
Aiter talking to mani• local softbail plavers, busir.ess people,
and callino a-ound to tiario•,:s manufacture_s, T feel, at this
time, triis list is more oz a "livir,g" eocume:,t, at least ur.til
more information is available from the towr., yt tnis tire I
8IL I]dv1Rc, S_veral brechures, C3t810;5 3Ila DriC° S^eeLS m-3i1°d
tc ne. The followino is a beginning list of k•hat ha= been corniied
to date and, as further information is received, it can be added
tc the file.
Soitball Fieles 1986
Draina2e:
Witnout a doubt, drair.aoe _is the biogest problem at the `ields.
Ii nothinR else, drainaQe uust be the first item addressed.
For star*ers, a large culvert goes under the Frontage road and
erapties al-- station 53,515 (see attacned map). A well-defined
swale (perhaps even poured in concrete that would double as
a ioot path) needs to be cut to taice this water to the west
to drain into the swale located at station 53,000. I was at
the fields with rick Spitz, an archi*_ect who is in town doing
some otner work, and he i?elped me snoot ~:ades at the middle
and west fieids, so we know tnis drainage wi11 wori;.
The next step is to fix the infieids so the}- do not puddle. This
is critical. Tne way to eliminate puddling is to "crown" the
iniields. Croknino involves buildino up the ir:iields so the
center, near tne pitchino rubber (tnere is no pitcning movnd
in softball; the rubber is level with the plavino field), is
six inches higi-?er than the perireter.
A French drain, or ot'rier t}-pe arain, would then be installed. Tnis
drainage plan is very important and there are sev?ral different
ways to drain any area. At this time we are waiting on information
on a new product cailed ":`•Iiridrain". This Deriorated sneet
will be laid in rows parallel to each other and perpendicuZar
to the under2roLnd catch tube. Another solution is drain tile,
k•rapped in Lilter rabric, and surrounded with cravel taken to
the main drain basin. We ex.pect more infornation on this at
an}- time.

Methodollcoy and Results
Study Area, ihree reaches of Gore Creek were chesen for analyz:na the
Impacts of the roci: placement . Tnese were upstream or Va;l a'Ll Ford
Park, between Va;l and West Va;' at 'rlest ;n Park, and downstream o`
Wesi 1'a;l a'L the Stepner`s area. r;gure nd:caies the three
locatiors on a eenerai map.
Gore Creek, in the stucy area, is sligntiy m_anderina and rock-l;ned
w;Lh r;~a~.er;al ran.;ng in size from coarse gravel to laroe boulders.
The low fiow channel is ZO to 50 feet wiae and the 100-year floodolain
is 70 t0 200 fezi w;de.
Cross section information and water surface elevat;ons for th2 iC-year
and I00-year fioods, as well as a low flow cond;tion, were taken from
the Gore Creek :loodpla;n Informat;on report (reference 1). Two cross
sect;ons were analyzed at each location. These seci;ons appeared in
the Gore Creek report as 5.2 and 5.3 at the Stephen's area, 1E.6 and
18.7 at lvestin park, and 42.3 and 42.4 at Ford Parl;. One cross
sectior, from each reach is snown in Figures 2, 3 and 4.
More var;ability in cross section sF,ape ex;sts w;thin each reach than
oetween the three different reaches. 'Therefore, conclusions wiTl be
general:zed rather than appl;ed separately to each reach.
Ex;stino Gore Creek Nvdraulics. Given the cross section geometry,
cnannel slope, and water sur`ace elevations o` the Gore Creek study,
tne ex;sting channel hydraullics were determined. The channel
roughness coeff;cient (Manning's n), veloc;ty, and Froude number
(;nd;cative of the state of flow) were calculated for each cross
section for the 10-year and 100-year `loods, These data appear ir
Table 1. Est;mates were also made of the existina low flow
hydraulics.

Recommended Pcci: Placement. Fiabitat rocks from two to five feet
(equ;valent spherical d;amete^) were assumed as the representative
s;ze range ;n the analysis of hydraulic impact. The maximum
obstruction to the channel should be na more than about one f;fth o`
the iaw flow channel w;dth accordinc to reference 4. For Gore Creek's
typical width of about 25 feet, no mare than one rock `ive feet wide
or two racks two and one hal` feet wide should be placed in the
channel at one section. An opt;mum spac:ng of habitat rocks sugqested
in reference 44s one per 300 sauare feei of channel, which, in the
study area, would be an the order of one every 10 to 12 l;neal feet.
Wn+le fewer rocks ray be placed ir Gore Creek and benef;t ta fish 1'ife
st;il real;zed, hydraulic impacts were estimated assum;ng the density
of one rock per 300 sGuare fee't. Figure 5 shows additional
recommended and non-recommended rock placement practices (from

l-Ivdau1 i c Im[)act c:` Hab ; tat Rocl;;. Severa i methocs were ut : i 4ZEG to
ar,aiyze the effec{i. Gr iarge roci;s on water surface elevations. The
two pr:nciples ;nvolved ;n th2 analyses are an ;ncrease :n cnannel
rouahaess and a loss assoc;ated w;th the acceleration and deceleration
of flow around obstruct;ons.
The latter method af analys:s made use of Yarnell's emp;r;cal daLa on
bridee p:er losses (docunenied in reference 2! and on the expansiar
and contraction less approaCh o` the U.S. krTy Corps of Eno;neers'
v=C-2 CQTP:lte!' pf'OQrdfp, (re*erence 6),
Yzrnell`s method, be;no empir;cal ir nature, rrust be utilized witti
cau~;cn wh2r apolyiny ;t to obstru--t;ons other thzn 5r;dge p;ers. In
adulit;on, the fiood veloc;ties on Gore Creek wzre often outside o` ~ts
range of applicat;on. A further l;m;tation of the metnod :s tha,, the -obstruction to flow ;s assumed to exist over the full depth (like a
br:dae p;er) so trat- submergence o` rocks in flood flows could not be
represented. It ;s for these reasons that the results of the Yarnell
approach are, at bes±, general:zatior.s.
Backwater from a singie three foot wide "rock" was camputed with the
Yarnell method as 0.3 to 0.7 feet far flow veloc:ties o` 3 to 7
feet ae; second (rps). Backwater increased w;th the s;ze of the
obstructzon and w;th the veloc:ty of the flow.
The HEC-Z approach ta deterrin;ng the ;ncrease in wat2r surface
result;ng from contraction and expansion lesses is to ractor in these
losses computed as a coeff;cient times the difference in velocity head
between cross sections. The bigger the obstruction and the higher the
average flow velocity, the greater the difference in velacity head
between sect;ons and, hence, the greater the loss. Loss coefficients
range f,^om 0.1 to 0.6 for contractions and from 0.3 to 0.8 for
expans;ons, depending on whether the trans;t;ons are gradual or
abrupt. Tne m;ddle of this range was assumed appropriate for this
study.

The lcss (usirg the HEC-2 approach) From the contract:cr, ana excansion
of flow a^ound a`;ve foot d:ameter rock was 0.4 feet. or 1ess for the
IO-year and 100-year flow cond;tions on Gore Creek. Th,e losses ;n the
100-year flood were generally less than the losses ;n I.-he 10-year
flood, due ta the oreater {1ow area and smaller d2gree of odstruction.
Tne results o-ic' tl-tis analys:s were hignly depenaert cr the overall
channel velocity and showed iosses iess tnan 0.1 -Fept for veloc;t;es
less than b fps.

Research est;mat;ng the effect of larae rocks on chanrel rougnness
(documented in reference 4) shows that Mannirg's n w;ll not be
sign;`:cant?y increased if the roughness a` the cnannel :s already
0.04:5) or greater and the placemenL. density does not exceed about one
roc'v, per 300 squarz feet. However, Gore Creek's basel;ne roughness
is 0.035, this same dens:ty (o` five root rocks) wouid cause an
increase in Mann;ng's n cf 7 to 13 percent during 10-year and 10'v-year
flood flows, translat;ng to a water surface rise rang;ng from about
0.2 to 0.4 feet. The actual baseline roughness values for Gore Creek
vary `rom 0.04 to 0.07 generally in the range where impacts from
the rocks are cons;dered negl;gible so that the water surface rise
of 0.2 to 0.4 feet could be considered conservative. Although no
spec:f;c information was presented in the research on the effect of
rocks on roughness dur;ng low fiows, the lower velocities would tend
to reduce the impac".* of the habitat rocks on the water surface.

Conclusions
Our analysis o` -the hydr-auliC impact of habitat rocks has led ta the
rollcwing conclus:ons:
1. The mi n; mu„ rock s i ze that shoul d be consi dered for fi sh hab -tat
inprcvements on Gore Creek in the study area is twc feet
(equ;valent spherical diameter).
2. The largest rock s:ze srou'd cbst-ruct no more than one-firth of.
the iow `low channel widin (this same l;mit applies to two smaller
racks placed toQether at a secticn o` 'Lhe creek).
3. An opt;;num der.s;ty o` rocl: placement for hab:tat improvemen--s ic
about- one ro-k De^ 300 squzre 'Iree} of channe?, althcugn bene`it
wCu1d be reai;zed at a iesse7 conceri,ratior,.
4. At the abave dens;ty, averaa- water sJrface elevat;ons durine
fiood fiows on Gore Creek should be only slightly h;gher than they
would be without tne add:tional hab;tat rocks. This water
surface ?ncrease should be less than one half foot (possibly less
than 0.2 to 0.4 feet.) in the 10-year and 100-year floods, ihe
ircrease should ap less in the 100-year flood than in the 10-year
`lood and even less dur;ng 1ow flows. This magn;tude o` water
sur;ace increase translates to an increase in total width of tne
100-year rloodpla:n of less than 6 feet in the cress sections
stud:ed, based upor the rrapped togography.

TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: April 21, 1987
SUBJECT: Request to relax the use restriction on the Ramshorn
Condominiums which presently limits owner useage to
two weeks in the winter and two weeks in the summer
Applicants: Mr. David Garton and Mr. Tim Garton
At the March 24th Town Council work session, the Gartons
requested to change the use restriction for the Ramshorn Lodge
from two weeks during the winter and summer high seasons to
eight weeks. They agreed that owners would be obligated to put
their units on the open rental market when the units are not
being used. It was also agreed that unsold condominiums would
be furnished and put into the rental pool.
The staff recommended that a four week owner restriction be used
during the winter and summer high seasons with the rental
obligation and furnishing of unsold condominiums for the rental
pool.
The Council requested that the staff provide information on
numbers of accommodation units and amenities associated with
Vail lodges. The attached chart lists 20 lodges throughout the
Village and Lionshead. The numbers of accommodation units per
lodge range from the Plaza Lodge with 10 accommodation units to
the Marriott Mark with 284 accommodation units. There is a
natural division into two groups of lodges. Those lodges that
have 10 to 38 accommodation units, and lodges having 38 or more
accommodation units. 45% of the total number of lodges fall
into the category of a small lodge (10 - 38 units). 18% of
the total number of accommodation units are in small lodges (261
accommodation units out of 1,419 total units). Please see the
attached chart.
STAFF POSITION
The staff position is that the use restriction should be changed
to four weeks for each of the winter and summer seasons. The
change in the use restriction should be applied to all
properties that fall under the use restriction requirements of
the subdivision regulations. Our opinion is based on the
following points:
1. Small personalized lodges are important to maintaining the
personalized high service character of Vail's lodging.
Without any owners' use restriction, these lodges could
become long term residential units. It is our opinion that
this would have a negative impact on many guests who
appreciate this type of lodging. During Land Use and
Vail Village Master Plan public meetings, it was emphasized
that lodging should be maintained in the core areas. The
original intent of the two week use restriction also was
based on the idea that lodging should be preserved and be
available year after year for the open tourist market.
2. If a change is made to the use restriction, it is important
that the adjusted use restriction be applied equally to all
lodges. Staff's opinion is that it is not fair treatment
to lift the owners' use restriction for small lodges and
not larger lodges.
For these reasons, staff recommends a four week use restriction
with the condition that the Ramshorn owners furnish all the
unsold condominiums and put them into the rental pool. The
rental obligations for sold condominiums would also be
continued.

TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: April 21, 1987
SUBJECT: Primary/Secondary Connection
Earlier this year, the Town Council, the Design Review Board and
the Town staff inet in a work session to discuss the existing
wording of Section 18.54.050 C. 13 of the Vail Municipal Code,
which concerns the requirement for physical connection in the
design of primary/secondary and duplex units.
That existing wording concerning the primary/secondary
and duplex connection in the Design Review Guidelines currently
reads as follows:
Section 18.54.050 C. 13. Duplex and Primary/Secondary
Residential dwelling units shall be designed in a manner
that contains the two dwelling units and garages within one
single structure. However, in the event that the presence
of significant site characteristics necessitate a site
design which includes a physical separation of the two
dwelling units and/or garages into separate structures, the
DRB may approve the design. Such a design may be approved
only when the separate structures are visually attached by
means of the use of similar and compatible architectural
design, colors, and materials and/or physically connected
with fences, walls, decks or other similar architectural
features.
At the previous work session, the staff presented several
possible options for rewriting and amending this section of the
Design Review Guidelines. After much discussion of the pros and
cons of both options and discussion relating to what
specifically the guidelines were trying to accomplish, the
Council gave direction to the staff to refine and re-present the
basic concept that was presented under the Option A. That
Option A as presented at the work session read as follows:
Option A.
Rewrite Section 18.54.050 C.1 to eliminate the requirement
for a physical connection of the units, and at the same
time strengthen and clarify the design criteria which would
be required in order to create a visual connection. This
criteria could include a unified landscape plan for the
entire lot, utilization of one road cut, compatible
materials such as siding, roofing, trim, stonework, roof
forms, color schemes, balcony styles, window treatments,
etc.
(Option A Continued)
This option would completely eliminate requirements for a
physical connection, thus allowing maximum flexibility in
siting the units, in creating the scale of the units, and
in creating spaces between the units. The design criteria
would serve to unify the development on the site. There is
concern on the part of the staff that this option could
allow for development that would create the appearance of
two separate single family dwellings on separate pieces of
property, especially on less vegetated sites. This creates
the visual appearance of density over and above that of the
low density zoning.
The staff has made an attempt to rewrite this section of the
Design Review regulations in the spirit and concept of the above
option. That wording which would replace the existing Section
18.54.050 C. 13 would read as follows:
18.54.050. C. 13 (New draft)
Duplex and primary/secondary residential dwelling units
shall be designed in such a manner to create a unified site
development. Unified site development shall require the
use of similar and compatible architectural design. This
includes materials (siding, roofing, trim, stone), roof
forms, architectural style, balcony and window treatments,
railings and other design elements. The unified site
development shall include a coordinated landscape and
grading plan that creates a visual appearance of a single
development project. Common areas such as courtyards are
encouraged to unify site development. The intent of this
section is to avoid the appearance of two unrelated
dwellings on one duplex or primary/secondary lot.
The intent of the Council and of the Design Review Board and the
staff is to create this guideline in such a manner that it will
enable more freedom of design and siting of structures in
development of primary/secondary and duplex residences. The
concern of the parties involved is to maintain the ability to
ensure that development is occuring in the spirit of the
primary/secondary and duplex nature and is not an abuse of the
zoning and subdivision regulations by creating separate and
unrelated single family structures.
We will present some grahic material on Tuesday which will help to understand the proposed ordinance change.
