Other -2- VAIL T[iEATRE 1JOIZKS A not-for-profit organization presenti.ng professional theatre with surrounding events in Vail, Colorado in a symposium format. The Vail Theatre 14orks has filed for its not-for-profit status and hence is able to accept donations based on this proposal. VA]_L T'!aE_4TRI; 1,70I"'\KS Product Coi-icept The Vai1 Theatre Works is a not-for-proEit wnbrella organization establ_ished to present initially a season of professional Lheatre together with a series of related side-events in a symposium format. In addition to uniquely offering Vail visitors and residents a top quality theatrical experience, there will_ be a professional training program, lectures by we11 known Ameri.can Gheatre people, side-events of unusual stvles of theatre and pi-esentations of staged readings of new and established playw-rights. The concept is that these events will involve an active and participating audience. Many events will be followed by opportunities to interact wit1h inported professionals to discuss and discover about theatre and to observe as professionals get the opportunity to meet, exchange information, argue and grow in the hospitable and supportive atmosphere unique to the Vail Valley. Longer-term, Vail wil]_ be established as a center for the arts at a professional level both in terms of a learning and perforrning facility. Steps in this direction already include the International Sculptural Arts Center being established in Beaver Creek, a proposal for a new Dance Company called "Henagerie" and this proposal. VAIL THEATRE WORKS Background/rationale It is said that "everybody has two Uusinesses--theirs and show business". This is no less true in Vail or any resort community than in people's traditional urban or suburban environment. Theat-re is fun, with an artistic and emoti_onal content wnich is in danger of being lost in this society. People are a].ways intrigued by the romance that theatre can offer and want ver_y much for it to be a part of their lives. T'he Vail Theatre Works offers people a surimer and winter theatrical season of fun and enrichment, in a setting removed from the urban rush, whi.ch efLectively balances the incredible on-mountain experience which Vail already has to offer. Currently, we offer through the Vail Institute, a program oF off-season comnunity theatre and amateur cultural events with a few lightly promoted, one-shot appearances by professional artists in music, theatre and dance. f•]e believe that we can attract additional visitors to tiie Valley and upgrade the overall Vail experience by presenting a more dedicated and professi_onal offering. VAI:L 111E1TRE WORKS Creative ContenL The current plays being considered for production in our first season represent a good blend of offerings Eor the audiences we expect to attract. Partly dependent of "Star" preference and availability, the play list includes: Noises Off Arsenic and Old Lace Einstein and The Po1ar_ Bear The Seagull Betrayal Streetcar Named Desire Importance of Bei_ng Earnest Side Events: It is planned Lo surround eacn play with workshops, seminars, cast parties and classes which will contribute towards establishing the Vai]_ Theatre [Jorks as an operating entity r_ather than a series of isolated plays. These activities can also be packaged so as to generate additional revenues, e.g., theatre weeks for visitors, an 'acting school, an out-of-tok-n site for new program testing, and to generate publicity locally and in the theatrical (and tourist) community nationwide. A sampling of related learning and participation "side events" includes... -welcoming cocktail parties for patrons to meet the company players -a k-eekend with the great teachers such as Joan Darling, Bill Ball, Warren Robertson -a session on American 'I`heatre in particular hosted bv 13ob Brues tien (The Theatre a t I Iarvard Arvin rr_ own (Long Miarf Theatre) and Bill Bal1, f.ounder of ACT in San Francisco -play readings of new pl.ays, improvisational weekends, eCc. -work in progress resding of the transLormation of "Fahrenhei_t 451" i_nto a i-iiusical_ drarna, 1_>y Nay ;,radbury APPENDI_X I VAIL "I'I-iE1`ii;E WCRKS Actors, I'roducres, Directors, and Speakel-s in agreement to work with and for Vai1 Theatre 1-lorks.

This program will work out to our advantage next year when we start programming in October for 1988 versus June for 1987. . ~ . . ti Introduction During late winter. 1987, two surveys were conducted in Eagle County designed to obtain information concerning attitudes toward and participation in recreation activities and programs. There are two distinctly different recreation user groups in the region, the visitors and local residents. The research program was designed to target the groups separately but with enough . comparability in questions and methodology to permit overall conclusions concerning recreation issues to be drawn. This short report provides a brief . overview of the surveys that were conducted and identifies some of the more significant findings that were obtained. The Eagle County Visitors Survey was administered by interviewers on Vail Mountain during an approximately 3 week period during late March and early April. Questionnaires were completed among randomly selected adults, thought to be 18 years or older, at various restaurants and outdoor eating areas, and on the lifts. The survey methodology closely resembles the technique used by Vail Associates for various marketing programs and the results show sufficient comparability to the Vail Associates data that we feel confident that the data is representative of skiers at Vail during the late season. A second questionnaire was distributed using a different methodology. It was designed to reach local residents. A total of 444 Local Resident Surveys were coa?pleted in April, 1987. This questionnaire was distributed throug-h employers in Eagle County, through a sampling technique designed to ensure that there was a good geographic sampling and that both major and relatively small employers were included in the sample. The sampling approach was designed to closely follow that used in the Affordable Housing Eagle Countv - 1984 study that was performed by Eagle County with some assistance from Rosall Remmen and Cares. Inc. To accomplish the sampling objectives, the businesses in Eagle County were grouped into, two categories. The Pirst categvey included the eight largest employers within the area. These eight which include: Vail Associates, Eagle County School District, the Town of Vail, Eagle County Government, the Marriott Mark Resort, the Vail Holiday Inn. and the Vail Westin Hotel, have a total of approximately 3,100 winter employees. The sampling technique involved giving a survey to each 6th employee within the above mentioned businesses. This was accomplished by working with the personnel manager of each of the businesses and choosing the 6th employee from an alphabetical list of each business. Approximately 1.100 surveys were distributed by this method to the twelve businesses. The other category consists of the smaller businesses located within the study area. Using business lists from the towns that have business licenses and creating lists from businesses located outside of those towns, a large number of smaller business were identified in the study area. These businesses were separated into eight locations: Vail, Minturn/Red C1iPf, Eagle-Vail, Avon, Edwards, Eagle, Gypsum, and the Colorado River Area. For each of the geographic areas, an alphabetical business list was developed, and each 12th business was chosen. For the smaller businesses, a survey was -1- given to each employee within the business. With the businesses generally averaging about 10 employees per business, a total of approximately 400 surveys were given out to the smaller businesses. The Local Residents Survey was considerably longer than the survey that was distributed to visitors; it provides extensive information on a variety of recreational issues and also may be used to update the local data base on _ issues related to housing, commuting patterns, and selected attitudes. While the purpose of this report is to provide a brieP overview of the results of the study, the data base will permit additional analysis, by local officials, governments or other interested groups. Several definitions are used in reporting the results and the reader should be familiar with the definitions of these terms. They include: The "frequency count" - The percent of respondents choosing a selected category of response; together the frequency counts for any question should total approximately 100 percent, or sometimes slightly more or less due to rounding errors. The "n" - The total number of responses. The "range" - The lowest and highest responses noted for a ' particular question. " The "mode" - The most frequently given category of response. The "mean" or "average" - The sum of all responses divided by the number of . responses (n). In evaluating results it is important to keep in mind some of the objectives of the survey program. We wanted to: ~ l. Determine the satisfaction levels of both residents and visitors with the- recreation experiences in Eagle County. Comparisons and contrasts were imQortant. 2. Contrast winter and summer evaluations and use these findings to help to establish priorities. 3. Get a better understanding of what recreation opportunities are most and least utilized today. 4. Evaluate the extent to which there is a willingness to "pay" for more recreation opportunities. 5. Compare the priorities of visitors and local residents. -2- 6. Identify other "variables" besides visitor and resident groups which "explain" results. Specifically, where residents live in the county, age, sex, family type, length of residency and expected length oP residency are all variables that may be expected to relate to and, to some extent, may determine opinions and behavior towards recreation. 7. Develop a data base that will be of use throughout the recreation study, and that will have ongoing applications for Eagle County to evaluate questions of housing and resident demographics. While we will not attempt to fully evaluate all of these topics in the report, it is important to keep in mind that these are among the purposes for the study that we identified at the outset. The available data base will provide a resource that we can use from here on out in the strategic Master Plan process. The Visitor Survey A total of 403 Visitor Surveys were completed. Results of this research are summarized on the attached form, with various statistics noted where appropriate. One of the important purposes of conducting the survey research was to quantify the attitudes of the visitors and residents and to allow selected comparisons that could be used to shape local policy. We found that there are differences in the response patterns between visitors and local residents that should be considered in shaping local policies and priorities. In the following pages, several oP the key findings from the two separate survey programs are summarized. The Visitor Compared to the Local Resident and Winter Versus Summer Recreation - The data below show rather clearly that satisfaction with the "kinds of recreation you want to.. do in the Eagle County area" is highest in the winter and is significantlY higher among visitors than local residents, especially in the lower rated summer months. While few respondents call themselves "very dissatisfied" there are real variations in the ratings as indicated on this question. When asked about local activities and recreation facilities by age groups, there are even more pronounced differences with major indications of concern by the local residents especially for those activities for teenagers and the 55 and over age group. -3- Table 1 Recreation SatisPaction Summaries V'ISltors Visitors Local Res.

In this table, we have rank ordered the participation categories based on the "percent in household that do not participate in the activity at all." What we see is that the responses range from virtually all households responding that their households participate in passive activities, to 85 percent in downhill skiing, down to kayaking, with only a 19 percent participation rate in total. These results will provide a partial basis on which to establish priorities within the Recreational Assessment and they also permit us to compare and contrast participation among sub-areas of Eagle County. Setting Priorities The data also allow us to identify the priorities that the visitors and local residents place upon various recceation alternatives. As the graph and table on page 7 illustrate, there are some significant differences between the rankings of desired improvements. The baseline on the graph represents the opinions of the visitors. The vertical lines are emphasizing the distance in opinion between the Iocals and the visitors; in a number of areas (including, for example, a multi-purpose swimming facility, squash/racquetball, and cross country ski facilities) distances are great. Table 4 on page 4 summarizes results from a second question designed to gather oginions on priorities. It shows local resident's responses to a questions asking them to indicate how they would spend a"hypothetical $100." More respondents, ta date, indicate a new indoor pool than any other category, and the average dollar amount allocated to the "indoor/outdoor swimming complex" is the highest, $18.00+. Bike trafls are the second highest priority by this measure ($11.04), followed by an indoor recreation center with a gym ($10.17.) What we are seeing is a consistent pattern of support for the swimming Complex and the idea of new bike trails by residents of all parts of the County, although the strength oP support for a pool facility is most evident Up-Valley (east of Edwards). Some Opinions on Issues of Policv and Direction The survey form contains a series of questions designed to obtain information concerning some general direction and policy. As shown below, the responses would indicate: 1. Stronger support for more "parks" than organized "recreation" programs. -5- 2. Almost equal support Por the Towns and County becoming involved in providing parks and recreation facilities. .3. A direction that parks and recreation Pacilities should accommodate residents "first", but agreement that use of local parks and recreational amenities by tourists should be encouraged. 4. And finally, strong support for bike trails, even in light of a need to support them through "tax dollars." The average stated support for bike trails, in dollar terms, is $27.42.

Results show some minor differences of opinion based upon where residents live but the data generally do not show statistically significant differences between "Up-Valley" (Edwards and East) and "Down-Valley" locations. These patterns of response will be considered throughout the course of the study as we evaluate opinions and opportunities. The preliminary indications of some consensus in matters of recreation priorities will have important implications in developing an action plan. Local residents and review agencies that are interested in the Recreation Survey should consider the results on the "open ended" questions as well as the tabulated survey data. These comments and suggestions, available through the County and participating towns, provide an interesting overview of opinions in "residents' own words." -9- EAGLE COUHTY RECREATION QUESTIONNAIRE ' ' - reflecta how o£ton mambera ol your UOUSE71ULll pnrcicipurn s, ectlvity ~urin he e ro rio e aeasons , 1 2 (3) (4) This is a survep of area residents to gather information Onco per Sovoral Several , • for parks and recreation planning.It is sponsored by the Woek or Timos par Times per Not at ~ , Eagle Countq Recreation Task Force, with participation Nore Hont,h Ycar_ Herdlv Ever All f.~s by the touns, the Recreation Districts and Eugle County. 11) Basketbnll Y. 3 3 y~ 7 2) Basaball/softboll 30 This questioanaire has been developed to gather informution 3) Football/eoccsr ~j y~ ~r si Yi3 which will be used to guide*recreation p lann 1ng an d o t hcr 4) G o l f 13 / o /7 5) Racquetboll/syuash g 7 / 3 .

TOTAL: 1,502 444 = 29.6% TO: Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: June 16, 1987 SUBJECT: A discussion of the proposed ordinance to allow for a limited program of street activity in Vail Village and Lionshead. The staff has spent additional time discussing this issue following our work session of June 2nd. Our reaction to input we received at that meeting was to develop an outline of an ordinance pertaining to artisans and street entertainers. It was also the impression,of the staff that the goal of this ordinance should be to encourage activity on the street, and not necessarily vending. The draft outline addresses artisans and entertainers separately. This has been done because there are issues involved with each that are unique. The outlines are intended to be more for facilitating discussion than a formal proposal from the staff. For example, we have recommended limited numbers of entertainers in each area. This is not to say that the numbers we propose should not be increased or decreased. Our goal is to establish a framework through which this process can be established. Overall, the outline presented represents a fairly conservative approach. This has been done with the thought in mind that we are starting out on a trial basis. After a season of , experience, we may find that these regulations need modifications. The following is what we would consider to be a reasonable starting point for allowing street activity in Vail. STREET ENTERTAINERS The issue at hand with street entertainment centers around existing regulations that prohibit a person from soliciting donations on Town streets. This issue, along with establishing a permitting process, are the main areas to be addressed in allowing street entertainers. Types of entertainers could include mimes, magicians, musicians, jugglers, comedians and/or improv groups, story tellers, etc. Number of Entertainers It would seem reasonable to limit the number of entertainers (or acts) at any given time to a maximum of 2 in both the Village and Lionshead. This recommendation is based on the size of each of these two areas and the feeling that to have entertainment on every corner will dilute the experience, or lessen the excitement of having entertainers at all. Locations The following areas would appear to be suitable for street entertainers to perform: Vail Village Lionshead Seibert Circle Entry near Skiers sculpture Founders Plaza Gondola ticket window area Children's Fountain Lawn below gondola Gore Creek Plaza Popcorn wagon area Pirate Ship Park Main open space adjacent to _ Slifer Square Gorsuch and Le Petite Cafe As part of an application, an entertainer would indicate his or her preference for locations. Given the nature of these possible locations, the staff sees no problem with an entertainer using more than one location throughout the day or during the term of his permit. For example, if two entertainers were working the Village and schedules could be coordinated, it could be advantageous to have both entertainers rotate the location of their "stages." It would also be necessary to coordinate this activity with other scheduled events and street activity. Permitting Process There are a number of considerations that fall under the general heading of permitting street entertainers. Among these include: 1. Fee Structure. Permitting fees have been mentioned during our previous discussions. Research is presently underway to find out what other communities may do relative to fees. If a fee is to be assessed, it is important that it not be so great that it become a disincentive to the entertainer. It should be kept in mind that the entertainer would be working essentially for donations from the audience. A reasonable fee may be one that is relative to the cost of staff time in issuing these permits. 2. Length of Permit Permits should be limited in time, if for no other reason than to ensure variety in the type of entertainment found on the streets. Staff is leaning toward a two week to one month period. As with a possible fee structure, this consideration is also being researched. 3. Selection Committee It would appear the most appropriate review board would be the Town Council or one appointed by the Town Council or Town Manager. Another alternative would be to accept applications on a first come, first served basis and simply issue the permits at the staff level. However, if the type of performance and quality are to be considerations in reviewing applicants, it is recommended that a board of some type make final decisions on who is issued permits. Staff feels strongly that the selection process is critical to enduring high quality entertainers. Review Criteria _ It is the opinion of Larry Eskwith that, while criteria are needed with which to base decisions, there is a fair amount of flexibility in precisely what the criteria are. It would be our recommendation to consider issues such as: o Variety among different entertainers o Quality of performance o Appropriateness of the location relative to the proposed activity (for example, space needs) o Noise, props and devices, etc. required for the performance o References Additional work is obviously needed to more firmly establish these criteria. As with Design Review Guidelines, it is recognized that these criteria will be subjective in nature. Thought should be given to establishing criteria that express the intent of the community's goals relative to street entertainment. Hawking, Siqnage, Flyers A performer will obviously be interested in gathering as large a group as possible for his act. It would be our recommendation that neither signage nor flyers be permitted, but that a performer would be allowed to verbally inform pedestrians of where and when performances will take place. Indemnification, Insurance We are working with Larry to establish what the Town will require to absolve us of any liabilities from the entertainers. Solicitation While the staff feels it inappropriate and unfeasible that performers be selling tickets to their performances, it is certainly reasonable to expect them to accept cash from their audience. It is customary for performers to request donations, or make the audience aware of the "hat being passed." The staff sees no problem with this being an element of a performance. ARTISANS Addressing artisans becomes more complicated in dealing with how their products will be sold. Aside from this issue, there are many similarities between artists and entertainers. Number of Artisans Limitations should be placed on the number of artisans permitted so as to avoid the appearance of an ongoing art fair. Because it is anticipated that the artisans activity will be more subtle than the entertainers, staff feels that up to 4 artisans may be appropriate in both the Village and Lionshead. However, it would be important to consider the type of artisan during the approval process to ensure variety and avoid having two people doing the same thing in the same area. Locations In a general sense, all of the locations identified for entertainers could be appropriate for artisans. However, artisans with limited materials and working areas could be allowed to roam more freely throughout the Village and Lionshead. For example, this would be acceptable for people doing caricatures who generally work without any substantial equipment.. Specific locations would be evaluated relative to the type of artisans and decisions made during the review process. Permitting Process 1. Fee Structure Our staff recommendation for permitting fees is similar to that with street entertainers. The Town receives sales tax revenue from vendors during special events. It may be appropriate to handle artisans in a similar fashion. 2. Length of Permit Permits should be limited to one month or less to insure variety in the art forms that are presented on the street. 3. Selection Committee We would offer the same comments as were presented for street entertainers Review Criteria Again, we would propose similar review criteria as what was outlined for entertainers. It may be appropriate to request examples of work from the artist as a part of the review process. Sale of Goods Exactly how the artists' products are sold is of great concern to everyone. It is the feeling of the staff that the intention of this ordinance is to allow the artist a stage and not to provide a store. For this reason, the staff would recommend that the sale of art be permitted only for art created on location. Tight controls are necessary to prevent an artisan from doing work on the street and selling other work (whether it be theirs or others') out of a box. Again, one of the main reasons for this ordinance is to provide the pedestrian with entertainment on the streets. We feel this is a very conservative and somewhat restrictive approach. Further discussion is undoubtedly needed with the Council as well as the art community. The staff feels that it is important to minimize potential conflicts with existing merchants and also to maintain strong controls over activity that is permitted on the street. We would not have a problem with an artisan directing a pedestrian to a gallery or shop where other examples of his or her art may be found. We do, however, have a problem with artists displaying a card table full of jewelry or a box full of prints. This scenerio is precisely what we are trying to avoid. Hawking, signage, flyers It is our recommendation that no signage be permitted in conjunction with any artisan activity. Indemnification, Insurance Depending upon the type of activity proposed, the Town should insure that its liability is properly addressed.
