Other 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. 3:35 9.

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. Tne ir.fielCs will r.eee a new introriuced topdressing. The infield mix used in Breckenridge seems to do verv well bL* our quoted price delivered is S29.00/cubic vard, and we will need about 160 }-ards/iield. I believe a locallv available mix of 609 sand - 40% cla_y (screened) can worl: as well and be delivered for about half the price, s~•~ . ~ Dunauts: 20'x S'x. (5' to 7' height). These snould be set about 3 Zeet into tne ground, made of block (to match the bathroans) r,•it:: hard floors. Cost 55,000/unit Bleachers: Fiye row, fifteen feet iong, aluminum, maintenance free. Cost $800/ unit rences- (P.emovable and flexible) kaitinb on this in_orration. Scoreboard-. The distributor told me that an advzrtiser will ssualiy pay for tn?s ii he can nave nis ad on the bcara for - five years--may be wortn consiriering. Cost $1500-52700 - Eatting Cage- k'aiting on tnis information but I think this iter:: will also pa}r for itself after an initial investment. Lignting- Low on tne priority list but, I believe, worth looking at. See the attached sheet, with wooden poles. Cost S25,000. Fermanent cor.cession stand area with water, electricity, sewage, a roof and so on. k'e need some specs on this one but I believe - the lease or concession money will cover all costs. Let me know when vou have had a chance to look at this information and we can proceed. Sincerel}', c~ ?ichard T. Piatthews a, - / ~ _^lt~~~~•.

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.

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.

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. -6- ~ . 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.

The s;tuation on Gore CreeR, wi*h ;ts sieep, boulc+er-strewn channel, is turbuience to sucn an extent that contraci;or and expansian of the flow is go;ng on cortinuously ;n ail d;rectior,s, not just araund habitat rocks in the manner assumed ;n the prev;ous aralyses. ~ 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. -7- ~ . 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.

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. ~ • CQ ~~e.•.~ Prepared by. , (t ~ r, • 1 / ~C~ `+~j'c? ~ ; 1 ~f ~-~j1-~i.~.iva-i C / u•,,~ , James T.

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. `i LOD6E RODM INVENTOkY Condo conversion research .

I Colorado P.f,,8;:23506 I Datr. /o~7/y~ • . , ~ 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. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION April 20, 1987 1:30 P.M. SITE VISITS 3:00 P.M.
