To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development Department
Date: December 20, 1988
Subject: Executive Summary of Special Development District 4
Special Development District 4 is made up of of four development
areas. The areas include Area A Cascade Village, Area B
Coldstream Condominiums, Area C Glen Lyon Duplex Lots, and Area D
Glen Lyon Commercial Site. Vail Ventures, Ltd. is requesting to
amend Area A. Glen Lyon Office Building, Inc., is requesting to
amend Area D. The other areas within the SDD are not affected by
the amendments.
The major elements of the amendments requested are listed below:
ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS: Variations in number of
units, GRFA, type of unit, and amount of commercial are
requested for four undeveloped sites within Area A. The
variations result in two development plans per site.. The
exteriors of the buildings remain the same under all
alternatives except one. Two scenarios are requested for
Area D. Either residential/office or office will be
constructed in the eastern building on the Glen Lyon site.
GRFA/UNITS: Both areas are within the allowable GRFA and
number of units for the existing SDD except that Area A
exceeds the allowable GRFA by 1,124 s.f. for one scenario.
Staff supports this scenario as the additional GRFA is for
lodge rooms.
PARKING: All required parking is provided. The two parking
structures in Area A are treated as one structure for the
purpose of calculating the mixed use parking credit.
COMMERCIAL: Commercial is increased from 37,000 to a maximum
of 56,538 s.f. for Area A. Amicro-brewery and more office
are added to Area D.
EMPLOYEE HOUSING: The existing SDD does not provide for any
on site employee housing. The amendment calls for a minimum
of 10 employee units to be located in Area A and/or Area D.
The units are restricted for 15 years and allowed to be sold
as long as it is to a local.
TRANSIENT RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNIT: A new type of unit is
requested for Area A. A TR is basically an accomodation unit
that is allowed to have a small kitchenette. The unit will
function as a lodge unit.
SPECIAL ATTRACTION:. A special attraction is defined as a
museum, seminar or research center, or performing arts
theater or other similar cultural center. This use is a
conditional use for Area A.
FIREPLACES: In Area A, 96 wood-burning fireplaces are
requested which is equivalent to the number of dwelling units
approved yet unbuilt. The request allows for wood-burning
fireplaces to be located in lodge rooms and transient
residential units as well as in dwelling units. Staff only
supports locating wood-burning fireplaces in constructed
dwelling units.
MICRO-BREWERY: A micro-brewery is proposed for the Glen
Lyon site. It would be located on the west end of the
existing office building.
Both the staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the
amendment requests with conditions. The following information
is included in the packet:
1. Ordinance No. 40.
2. Request to amend SDD 4, Area A, Cascade Village Memo.
3. Request for a Conditional Use for a Micro-Brewery, Area
D, Memo.
4. Request to amend SDD 4, Area D, Memo.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE:. October 10, 1988
SUBJECT: Request to amend Special Development District #4,
Area A, Cascade Village.
Applicant: Vail Ventures, Ltd.
I. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION TO THE CASCADE VILLAGE
DEVELOPMENT
Cascade Village was annexed into the Town of Vail in
December of 1975 by Ordinance No. 26. Before being
annexed to Vail, the area was zoned for 6 units per acre
with the option to propose a comprehensive development
plan. (PEC minutes 2/5/1976). In March of 1976, the SDD4
zoning was imposed. In respect to the underlying zone
district, Cascade Villge is unique in that the Town
initially approved SDD 4 zoning. There was no other Town
of Vail underlying zone district before the SDD.
Special Development District No. 4 is divided into the
following areas:
Development Area Area Known As
A
B
C
D
The density allotment
original ordinance was
acres for a density of
Cascade Village
Coldstream Condominiums
Glen Lyon Duplex Lots
Glen Lyon Office Building
for Cascade Village, Area A in this
252 dwelling units located on 16.82
15 dwelling units per acre.
Ordinance No. 28 of 1977 revised the original ordinance in
a number of ways. This ordinance changed the development
areas B,C and D and required dedication of over 40 acres
of open space to the Town. Cascade Village continued to
be responsible for maintaining all common areas, interior
roads and plazas for the project. This ordinance also
revised some of the submittal requirements as well as
refined permitted and conditional uses allowed in
Development Area A (Cascade Village). Some other minor
changes such as numerical changes to section numbers in
the zoning code were also provided for in Ordinance 28.
In January of 1979 there was an amendment to SDD4 .with
regard to submittal requirements. The applicant requested
that a determination be made as to exactly what type of
submittal requirements would be necessary to review the
project. This amendment was approved in preparation for
the April and May review of the development plan.
C On May 22, 1979, the PEC reviewed several amendment
requests. The first amendment called for enlarging
Development Area A to include the 1.25 acre Robbins tract.
The new acreage for Area A would then total 18.078 acres.
Additional commercial square footage was also requested.
The single major issue in the approval process of the
development plan of 1979 was the creation of a third
village for Vail with respect to the amount of commercial
proposed and the proposed educational/learning center.
Employee housing was an integral part of the development
plan in the discussion in May of 1979. The proposal at
that time was for 32 rental units of approximately 850
square feet each. The possibility of using industrial
revenue bonds to construct the housing was discussed. The
timing for the employee housing project was represented as
the second year of construction, but earlier if possible.
The Planning Commission approved the request for a total
commercial square footage of 21,700 square feet. The
developer agreed to easements for bicycle paths and agreed
to work with the Highway Department to provide a left-hand
turning lane and acceleration and deceleration lanes off
of the South Frontage Road to Westhaven Drive. The
developer also agreed to provide a bus shelter and turn-
around in the project. The proposed employee housing
units (20) became part of the development plan.
In June of 1984, a major amendment was again requested for
Development Area A (Cascade Village). The .amendment
requested that the original density of 15 dwelling units
per acre be applied to both the 1.25 acre Robbins parcel
which had been annexed to the SDD in 1979, and for the.
1.045 acre Cosgrif parcel proposed to be annexed with this
current request. 37,000 square feet of commercial was
requested with the rationale that it was a necessity to
the development program to provide support retail,
considering the clientele the development was hoping to
attract. A revision to the employee housing requirement
and changes to the height calculation method were also
addressed.
The staff supported the additional density and commercial
square footage. The employee housing issue was resolved
by requiring that "on a yearly basis, a contractual
agreement between the employer and the developer showing
evidence of employee housing that is satisfactory to the
Town of Vail be made available." The present SDD had
stated that the developer provide 20 dwelling units for
long term rentals to employees of the project on an
ongoing basis. The staff felt that 20 units was the
minimum acceptable requirement. The proposal for 18
fireplaces within accommodation units was not approved by
the staff or the PEC. The developer was required to
2
C participate in the study to develop a reasonable plan for
a left-hand turn lane off of the South Frontage Road into
the Cascade Village development. Parking requirements
were also amended to require 40 spaces for the Plaza
conference facility.

C
II. SUMMARY OF AMENDMENT REQUESTS
Vail Ventures, Ltd. proposes to amend SDD4 to allow for
changes in requirements as well as adjustments to
development of the remaining 5 undeveloped sites within
Area A. These sites include: Cornerstone, Waterford,
Westhaven Condominiums, Millrace III and Millrace IV. The
applicant has stated that "the amendments are necessary
due to changes resulting from the construction of the
Cascade chair lift, the completion of the Westin Hotel and
the changing markets for real estate and guests services;
all of which have affected the overall master plan. for
Cascade Village."
The following amendments are requested for Cascade Village
Development Area A:
A. Approval of alternative development scenarios
for Waterford, Cornerstone, and Millrace IV sites.
The developer is requesting the flexibility to have
options as to whether Waterford or Millrace IV should
be developed using the transient residential,
accommodation unit, or the dwelling unit plan. In
C addition, there would be differences in commercial
development depending on whether the Cornerstone site
was developed using the commercial plan "a" or
special attraction/commercial plan "b".
B. Approval of "restricted dwelling unit or transient
residential dwelling unit" for Cornerstone and
Waterford sites. For the purposes of this memo, the
restricted dwelling units shall be referred to as a
transient residential dwelling unit or TR in this
memo.
Transient Residential Dwelling Unit:
A dwelling unit located in a multi-family dwelling
that is managed as a short term rental in which all
such units are operated under a single-management
providing the occupants thereof customary hotel
services and facilities.
For the purposes of this SDD 4, a short term rental
shall be deemed to be a rental for a period of time
not to exceed 31 days. Each unit shall not exceed
645 square feet of GRFA which shall include a kitchen
having a maximum of 35 square feet. The kitchen
shall be designed so that it may be locked and
separated from the rest of the unit in a closet.
A transient dwelling unit shall be accessible from
common corridors, walks, or balconies without passing
4
C through another accommodation unit, dwelling unit, or
transient residential dwelling unit. Should such
units be developed as condominiums, they shall be
restricted as set forth in Sections 17.26.075 -
17.26.120 governing condominium conversion. The
unit shall not be used as a permanent residence.
Fractional fee ownership shall not be allowed to be
applied to transient residential units. For the
purposes of determining allowable density per acre,
transient residential units shall be counted as one-
half of a dwelling unit. Transient residential
dwelling unit parking requirements shall be 0.4 space
per unit plus 0.1 space per each 100 square feet of
GRFA with a maximum of 1.0 space per .unit.
C. Special Attraction: Conditional Use for the
Cornerstone Building, 8080 s.f.
A special attraction is defined as a museum, seminar
or research center, or performing arts theatre or
other similar cultural center.
D. Approval of "Fractional Fee Ownership" as defined
in the Town of Vail Municipal Code Section 18.04.135.
C Fractional fee means a tenancy in common interest in
improved real property, including condominiums,
created or held by persons, partnerships,
corporations, or joint ventures or sim?_lar entities,
wherein the tenants in common have formerly arranged
by oral or written agreement or understanding, either
recorded or unrecorded allowing for the use and
occupancy of the property by one or more co-tenants
to the exclusion of one or more co-tenants during any
period, whether annually reoccurring or not which is
binding upon any assignee or future owner of a
fractional fee interest or if such agreement
continues to be in any way binding or effecive upon
any co-tenant for the sale of any interest in the
property.
Fractional Fee Ownership shall be a conditional use
for dwelling units in Westhaven's multi-family
dwelling and shall not be applied to restricted
employee dwelling units or transient residential
dwellings. Approval for ownership intervals of no
less than 5 weeks is requested.
E. Approval of maximum height for Waterford of 48 feet,
as measured from the finished grade to the roof ridge
along the South Frontage Road and Westhaven Drive. A
building elevation height of 61 feet from the lowest
floor of the parking structure up to the building's
5
C roof ridge and 40 feet from the lowest floor of the
parking structure to the eave is requested for the
creek side or southeast building elevation.
F. Approval of maximum height for Cornerstone of 71 feet
as previously approved for the Plaza building.
Height is measured from the roof ridge down to
finished or existing grade, whichever is most
restrictive.
G. Approval of addition to east end of the Cascade Club
for either a lap pool, wellness center, or small
gymnasium at 4,500 s.f. The wellness center would be
a conditional use with required parking provided.
The 20 foot setback is maintained along the South
Frontge Road. The maximum height is 26 feet.
H. Approval of first floor office space in the new Plaza
Conference Center having a maximum square footage of
925 square feet. Presently space is approved to be
retail.
I. Approval of second floor, Room 2J in the CMC building
to be converted from conference space to retail
and/or theatre with required parking provided, 1387
s.f.
J. Approval for the mixed use credit of 17.5 to be
applicable to the Cascade Village and Waterford
parking structures.
K. Approval of request to eliminate requirement for
common carrier parking.
L. Approval of request to eliminate the existing SDD4
employee housing requirement that a "Contractual
agreement between the employer and developer showing
evidence of employee housing that is satisfactory to
the Town be made available to the Department of
Community Development." The developer proposes to
provide a minimum of 10 employee dwelling units
having a minimum square footage of 640 square feet
per unit within Development Area A and/or D. The
GRFA and number of employee units shall not be
counted toward allowable density or GRFA. The units
shall be restricted as employee housing units for 15
years from the date of the final certificate of
occupancy for said units.
The employee dwelling unit shall not be leased or
rented for any period of less than thirty consecutive
days, and that if it shall be rented, it shall be
rented only to tenants who are full-time employees in
6
C the Upper Eagle Valley. The Upper Eagle Valley shall
be deemed to include the Gore Valley, Minturn, Red
Cliff, Gilman, Eagle-Vail, and Avon and their
surrounding areas. A full-time employee is a person
who works an average of thirty hours per week.
If the unit is sold, it shall be sold to a qualified
purchaser. A qualified purchaser shall be defined as
a full-time employee in the Upper Eagle Valley as
defined in the previous paragraph.
The employee dwelling unit shall not be divided into
any form of time-shares, interval ownership or
fractional fee.
A declaration of covenants and restrictions shall be
filed of record in the office of the Eagle County
clerk and recorder in a form approved by the town
attorney for the benefit of the town to ensure that
the restrictions herein shall run with the land
before a building permit is released for the
construction of the employee units.
M. Approval for 55 foot height for Westhaven building as
measured from the finished or existing grade
C whichever is most restrictive.
N. Approval for 96 wood-burning fireplaces which is
equivalent to the numlier of dwelling units approved
yet unbuilt for the SDD. This means that transient
residential, accommodation units, and dwelling units
would be allowed to have wood-burning fireplaces up
to the 96 maximum amount.
O. Approval for an entry tower located at the northeast
corner of the Cascade Club. The height requested is
36 feet. The 20 foot setback is maintained.
P. Approval for a total commercial square footage of
53,513 s.f. or 56,538 s.f.
Q. Approval for 293,715 s.f. of total GRFA.

C III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENTS FOR THE
FIVE REMAINING SITES IN AREA A:
A. CORNERSTONE BUILDING
Location: Site is to the south of Westhaven Drive and
north of the Terrace Wing.
Proposal: Fifty transient residential units are
proposed. The request also consists of two
alternatives for commercial development.
Alternative A has 26,040 square feet of
retail, while Alternative B has 29,065
square feet which includes the "Special
Attraction" use. Ski accessory uses for
the Cascade lift are also provided for in
this building. Parking is provided in the
structures. Please see Chart at the end of
this section for a breakdown of square
footage/use.

GRFA: Under allowable by 2,518 square feet.
Commercial: Over allowable by 6,826 square feet
(Plan A) or 9,851 square feet (Plan B.)
The increase in commercial square footage for this
site is the most outstanding difference between the
8
proposed plan and the original plan.- All retail,
office, and restaurant space has been included in the
total commercial square footage. In Plan A, hotel
related retail and restaurant contributes 2,750
square feet. Accessory ski retail adds 2,190 square
feet. The remaining commercial of 21,000 square feet
is general retail and office. Plan B shows an
increase in commercial square footage due to the
Special Attraction use which equals 8,080 square
feet.
The building foot print has been extended to the east
to incorporate the ski accessory uses, such as a
ticket office, ski lockers, public restrooms and
skier retail. For this reason, site coverage has
increased for this parcel but is still under the
allowable coverage of 45%. The 71' foot height also
matches what was originally approved for the
building.
B. WATERFORD BUILDING
C
~_
Location: Adjacent to the South Frontage Road. East
of the Cascade Club across Westhaven Drive.
Presently, fill is stockpiled on the
site.
Proposal: The Waterford Building consists of
approximately 3,800 square feet of retail
space and either 30 residential units or 75
transient residential units. The GRFA for
either scenario totals 47,500 square feet.
A two-level underground parking structure
would be built below the residential and
commercial development. A 20 foot setback
.shall be maintained along the north
property line adjacent to the South
Frontage Road. A minimum 20 foot buffer
shall be maintained between the edge of the
bike path along Gore Creek and the
Waterford Building.

C. WESTHAVEN CONDOS
Location: The site is located north of Westhaven
Drive, immediately west of the Cascade
Club. Presently, foundations exist on this
.site. The proposal was originally called
Club Condominiums.
Proposal: The Westhaven Condominiums include 24
dwelling units that have 24,000 square feet
of GRFA. In addition, 7 employee dwelling
units would be located on this site.
The developer is requesting fractional fee
ownership as a conditional use for the 24
dwelling units. Fractional ownership would
not be applied to the required employee
housing units. All parking is provided on
site. The 20 foot setback is maintained
on the north, east, and west sides of the
property. Westhaven will be connected to

IV. EXPLANATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS
The two primary reasons the developer is requesting
alternative development scenarios is 1) to "allow
flexibility in terms of the number and types of
RESIDENTIAL units within the Waterford and Millrace Phase
IV buildings" and 2) to allow flexibility in the amount of
commercial square footage allocated to the Cornerstone
building. The exterior building design would remain the
same regardless of which combination of units and
commercial is used. The alternatives are as follows:

C Special Development District 4 allows a total maximum
density of 288 dwelling units with a minimum of 308
accommodation units and a maximum of 134 dwelling units
within Area A. Currently, 38 dwelling units exist and 288
accommodation units exist, which is the equivalent of 182
dwelling units (2 au = 1 du).
Under each alternative, the total dwelling unit equivalent
is less than the remaining equivalent of 106 dwelling
units.
Alternative 1: 8.0 units less than total allowed
Alternative 2: .5 units less than total allowed
Alternative 3: 16.0 units less than total allowed
Alternative 4: 8.5 units less than total allowed
All three alternatives meet the minimum requirement of 308
accommodation units as long as transient residential units
are counted as accommodation units. All of the three
proposals are 2624 square feet over the allowable GRFA
excluding the GRFA for employee housing.

In summary, the proposal does not exceed the allowable density
and actually provides more AU's than are required in the
existing SDD. All of the alternatives are 2,624 sf over the
allowable GRFA. Employee units have not been included in these
calculations.
B. COMMERCIAL SCENARIOS
The Cornerstone Building has two scenarios for commercial
development. Plan A plus the existing commercial
development equals 53,513 s.f. Plan B plus the existing
commercial development equals 56,538 s.f. The existing
SDD allows for 37,000 s.f. of commercial. The proposal
calls for an increase in total commercial of 16,513 s.f.
to 19,538 s.f.

VI SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DESIGN CRITERIA
It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate
that submittal material and the proposed development plan
comply with each of the following standards, or to
demonstrate that one or more of them are not applicable,
or that a practical solution consistent with the public
interest has been achieved.
A. DESIGN COMPATIBILITY AND SENSITIVITY TO THE IMMEDIATE
ENVIRONMENT, NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES
RELATIVE TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, SCALE, BULK,
BUILDING HEIGHT, BUFFER ZONES, IDENTITY, CHARACTER,
VISUAL INTEGRITY AND ORIENTATION.
Cornerstone•
The overall design of this building is very positive.
The building meets the height standard of 71'. The
developer has redesigned the eastern elevation of the
cornerstone building in order to pull the eaves line
down to minimize the height. A minimum setback of 20
feet will also be maintained from the bike path.
Even though the building has been extended to the
east to allow for the ski accessory as well as a
small amount of ski retail, this portion of the
building consists primarily of rooms and hotel
functions which are allowed presently under the
approved SDD.
Staff recommends that the Cornerstone building bridge
connection between the east and west buildings be
opened up. Our opinion is that it would be positive
to be able to see through more of the Cornerstone
building and up to the Cascade Lift and ski mountain
instead of being confronted by building mass on all
three sides as you enter the project.
Waterford:
The original proposed height was 71 feet. At the
first work session on this project, the Planning
Commission indicated that a 55' height limit would be
appropriate for this building.
The Waterford building is most visible from the South
Frontage Road and Westhaven Drive. The height has
been decreased to 48 feet as measured from finished
grade to meet the previously approved height. The
building is also situated below the Frontage Road to
decrease impacts. The proposed 61 foot height along
the southeast elevation is acceptable, as the eave
line will have a height of 40 feet which will greatly
decrease the impact of the 61 foot ridge height.
22
C The 20 foot front setback will also be maintained
along the South Frontage Road which will decrease the
impact of the building mass. A 20 foot buffer will
exist between the building and bike path on the creek
side of the project. The bike path will be moved 5
feet towards the creek and the building pulled back
to establish the 20 foot buffer.
C
C
Staff feels strongly that substantial landscaping
should be required along the north and southeast
elevations of the Waterford. The developer has made
a significant effort to respond to the PEC and staff
requests to decrease the height. However, from the
view analysis, it is clear that the building's mass
will have impacts.
Millrace III•
The staff does not have a specific site plan for this
property. However, the developer is proposing to
maintain the same number of units and height and
decrease GRFA. A 20 foot setback would be maintained
along Westhaven Drive.
Millrace IV•
Staff's opinion is that the 32 accommodation unit
site plan is much more compatible with the site than
the proposal to locate 8 dwelling units on this
parcel. The 32 accommodation unit plan allows for an
adequate open space buffer between the Westin Hotel
and the existing Millrace development. The 8
dwelling unit plan needs to be consolidated to
maintain adequate open space between the Westin and
Millrace. This buffer becomes even more important
when private residential units are adjacent to a
hotel operation.
Staff believes that the additional GRFA on this site
for the accommodation unit plan is appropriate.
Lodge rooms meet a community need which has been
encouraged in the Land Use Plan. We do not feel that
the additional GRFA is necessary for the 8 dwelling
unit plan.
Staff recommends that the 8 D.U. plan be denied. The
request for additional GRFA is unsupportable and the
site plan does not meet the SDD criteria, particular-
ly in respect to site planning, landscaping, and
adequate buffer zones.
23
Westhaven•
This project has already received a building permit
which has since expired. Staff's understanding is
that the project would be constructed in a similar
manner to what has been previously approved. The
developer is proposing to remove 1 dwelling unit and
increase the GRFA by 1,500 square feet.
The Westhaven height will be increased from 48' to
55' to allow for the additional employee housing
units. The building is situated below the Frontage
Road, so the height increase will have very little
impact.
B. USES, ACTIVITY AND DENSITY WHICH PROVTDE A
COMPATIBLE, EFFICIENT AND WORKABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH
SURROUNDING USES AND ACTIVITY.
Alternate Development Scenarios:
For the most part, the alternative plans focus on
flexibility in the type and number of residential
units and amount of commercial. Millrace IV is the
only alternative that has two different site plans.
C The Waterford and Cornerstone buildings would have
the same exterior appearance and site plan regardless
of the residential unit mix and amount of commercial.
Staff feels comfortable with the alternative
development plans proposed for the project. It is
felt that a good mix of office, retail, lodging and
residential units is maintained with these proposals.
The changes in design for the various alternatives
are minimal and therefore make it acceptable to
approve alternative uses.
Transient Residential:
The concept is that the TR unit will function as an
accommodation unit, but will have a small kitchenette
for convenience cooking. The unit is not intended
to function as a dwelling unit. The TR must also be
managed by a single management entity to ensure that
customary hotel services and facilities are provided
to occupants. These hotel services and facilities
would typically include front desk services, lobby,
housekeeping facilities, laundry service and
recreation facilities.
In addition, the fact that the units must be used
according to the short term rental definition will
ensure that the units function as accommodation
units.
24
The TRs may be converted to condominiums under the
Lodge Room Conversion sections of the Subdivision
C Regulations. Even if the TRs were typical AUs, the
option to convert the AUs would be available.
Transient residential units should not be allowed to
have a wood burning fire place. Wood burning fire
places should be used exclusively for dwelling units.
Additional Commercial:
The increase in total square footage for commercial
space has been designed so that the buildings
containing commercial meet the existing development
standards for the special development district except
for the Waterford's southeast elevation's height.
Staff believes that the additional square footage
should be viewed in a similar way to the manner in
which Commercial Core I and II projects are reviewed.
In these zone districts, commercial square footage is
unlimited and the buildings are required to meet
design standards. Basically, Cascade Village is very
similar to a CCI or CCII type project.
The staff feels that it would be reasonable to
require that all buildings approved for commercial on
first floor or street/plaza level have the same uses
C that are permitted in Commercial Core I zoning. The
intent of this project has always been to create a
mixed use development.. By adopting the CCI permitted
uses for the first floor, staff believes that the
mix of commercial found. in the Village and Lionshead
would be ensured. Another reason that the CCI uses
are appropriate is that 3,800 square feet of
commercial is proposed adjacent to the bus stop in
the Waterford building. This commercial should not
be convenience type retail which would encourage
people to park on Westhaven Drive shops for easy
pick-up of goods. The staff had a similar concern
with the Treetops commercial building. We feel that
the Waterford retail space could have the same
problems as Treetops if appropriate retail uses are
not determined.
GRFA: Staff believes that the project's total GRFA
must come under the existing SDD's approved cap of
291,121 square feet except for the additional GRFA
requested for the Millrace IV 32 AU plan. We do feel
that the mix of .accommodation units and dwelling
units is very positive as long as transient
residential units are not fractionalized. We support
the exclusion of GRFA for employee housing units.
25
C
Fractionalization:
Fractionalization will be applied only to Westhaven
and will be reviewed as a conditional use. The
interval should not be allowed to be less than S
weeks to ensure a high quality project. The
conditional use process will require that customary
hotel services and facilities be provided if
fractional fee ownership is requested.
~ecial Attraction:
Staff supports the idea of
It is appropriate to review
conditional use.
Wellness Center:
the special attraction.
the proposal as a
Staff has no problem with the request of a wellness
center, as long as it is reviewed as a conditional
use so that parking impacts may be addressed. If the
space is developed as a small gymnasium or pool,
there would be no additional parking impact and,
therefore, we feel it can be considered to be a
permitted use.
First Floor Office in Plaza Conference Center:
Although at face value this request may seem very
minor, staff feels strongly that the office should
not be approved. As has been stated in the memo, the
intent of Cascade Village was to create a mixed use
project similar to CCI and CCII. The CCI and CCII
zoning does not allow offices on first floors. The
reason for this is to insure that retail is located
on the first floor to add activity and interest at
the street level.
To approve the office would also be precedent setting
and would mean that first floor office .space could
also be requested for other projects, such as the
Gateway Special Development District or Vail Village
Inn Special Development District.
Room 2J CMC Building:
Staff supports the
space to a theatre
required parking is
request to change the conference
or retail space as long as the
provided.
26
Employee Housing:
Employee housing should be a requirement for this
C project. We would ask that a minimum of 10 units be
provided having a minimum size of 640 square feet
including a full kitchen. The 10 units would have a
total minimum square footage of 6,400 square feet.
Out of the total 293,745 square feet, two percent or
6,400 square feet would be used for employee housing
units.
Presently, the Town does not have a formula for
calculating employees required for certain uses.
However, by using existing employee numbers and
making some assumptions which are conservative in
respect to numbers of employees, the following demand
could be expected:
Use
C
Westin Hotel (276 units)
Number of Employees
Cascade Club
Clancy's
CMC
Office & Retail (54,973 sf)
(total commercial - 1,000 x 1.5)
Wellness Center
Cascade Theater
New AU or TR (445 units)
(.9 employees x # units - 25%
of employees for overlap)
285 Full-time
15 Full-time
50 Part-time
or 25 Full-time
4 Part-time
or 2 Full-time
12 Full-time
83 Full-time
4 Full-time
3 Full-time
300 Full-time
733 approx.
* These figures are also probably low given the fact
that if you look at other employee housing
requirements for Snowmass, Aspen and Breckenridge,
the employee number generated by this type of
development is higher.
Vail has taken pride in the fact that greater numbers
of people are now staying in our community and trying
27
to raise families or trying to establish themselves
professionally. It is often said that we have become
a maturing resort community. Our main concern for
C employee housing, is to improve the living situations
for many individuals working in Vail. However, this
concern also helps to stabilize the economic and
social base of our community. A stable employee bed
base is very important for a maturing community and
adds to stability in the work force.
Staff believes that 10 units is a nominal amount of
employee housing for the Cascade Village Development
to provide. We agree with the developer that some
type of an employee housing task force would also be
helpful. In addition, there are many things that the
Town could do to encourage dispersed employee
housing. Innovative planning is needed to establish
a housing council (as suggested by the developer),
to provide incentives to assure existing rentals
remain in the housing pool.
The employee housing problem is certainly not going
to be completely addressed by the Cascade Village
project. However, the staff does feels that the
development has a responsibility to provide a certain
number of units. In our request for 10 units, we
have tried to be reasonable and feel that this is not
an undue burden on the developer. We also believe
that trade-offs are in order due to the amendments
that are being requested, particularly in respect to
the increased amount of commercial square footage.
Density:
The mixed use nature of the project is very positive.
Essentially, Cascade Village has become the fourth
core area for Vail. The developer has proposed more
accommodation units and transient residential units
than are actually required under the approved SDD.
The number of dwelling units is actually lower than
what would be allowed. The balance of accommodation
unit use to dwelling unit use is very positive.
Staff does feel that the project's GRFA should be
decreased to the originally approved amount of
291,121 square feet. Basically, although a minimum
amount of GRFA is requested above what is allowed, we
feel that the request is not warranted. We feel that
the 2,658 square feet of extra GRFA could be taken
out of the Waterford project or Millrace IV (8 DU
plan) to help with the height problem. The only
additional GRFA tht is warranted is for the Millrace
IV 332 AU plan.
C

COMPLIANCE WITH PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS AS OUTLINED IN
SECTION 18.52.
The most accurate way to calculate parking given the
proposed development alternatives is to use the
alternative that has the greatest STRUCTURED parking
demand. Alternative 2 has the greatest structured
parking demand due to the number of AU/TRs.
MAXIMUM PARKING REQUIRED
RESIDENTIAL AU TR DU COMM STRUC. ON SITE
Cornerstone 50 48.1
Waterford 75 75
Westhaven 30 60
Millrace III 3 6
Millrace IV 32 26.8

Cornerstone 29,065 117.9
Waterford 3,800 12.7

Plaza Bldq Office* ,7
Total 157 27 38,752 309.2 66
*Plaza space has alread~~ been counted as commercial. The
parking requirement is based on the difference between office
and retail parking requirements.
The project's parking has been calculated using all of the standard
parking requirements. All accessory hotel and ski uses have been
required to provide the full amount of parking.
* All parking for Cornerstone, Waterford, and Millrace IV (AU
Plan) shall be structured.
TRUCTURED PARKING CALCULATIONS
Existing Required Parking 422 spaces
Proposed Required Parking 310
Total 732
17.5% Credit - 128.1
Total Required Parking 604 spaces
Existing parking structure 421 spaces
Proposed parking sructure 183
Required parking 604 spaces
The developer proposes that the Waterford parking structure shall be
expanded if necessary to meet the parking requirements of various
scenarios. Presently, the Waterford structure has 144 spaces. This
means that if the developer chooses to build Alternative 2, an
additional 39 spaces must be added to the structure. The total
maximum required parking for the proposed SDD is 604 spaces.
If the parking is not consolidated, the structures would be required
to contain:
Cascade Structure:
Total parking required 422
10% credit - 42.2
Required spaces 380
Waterford Structure:
Total parking required 309.2
7.5~ - 23.2
Required spaces 286
The total structured parking would be 666 spaces as opposed to 604
spaces if the structures are combined. This is a difference of 62
spaces.
The developer is requesting that the two parking structures be
counted as one structure for the purpose of calculating the credit
for a multiple use parking structure. Staff supports this request,
as Cascade Village is an intense mixed use project. It is reasonable
to assume that a guest staying at the Cornerstone will frequent the
retail shops, restaurants, and theatre located in Cascade Village.
The amount of crossover among the various uses in Development Area A
is very high. For this reason, staff agrees that a 17.5% mixed use
credit is supportable. (Please see letter from CMC concerning
parking at Cascade Village at the end of the memo.)
The developer is also requesting that common carrier parking be
deleted as an SDD requirement. Staff supports this request. It is
felt that this project should have the optioin to use the bus
parking at the Lionshead structure, as other projects also have this
right.
Additional loading delivery is necessary for Waterford.
D. CONFORMITY WITH APPLICABLE ELEMENTS OF THE VAIL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TOWN POLICIES AND URBAN DESIGN
PLANS
The staff agrees with the Environmental Impact Report
statement that the "proposal generally is compatible
with many of the goals and Town of Vail policy
documents listed below:"
Vail Land Use Plan:
The proposed amendments to SDD4 are consistent with
many of the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan.
Generally, the proposed special attraction-use and
ski related accessory commercial uses accomplish the
overall goals of strengthening the balance of uses
within the community, improving and increasing base
skier facilities to keep pace with mountain expansion
and improving and enhancing year-round tourism.
Specifically, the proposal meets the following goals
of the Land Use Plan:
1. General Growth Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a
controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial or
recreational uses to serve both the visitor
and the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including
air, water and other natural resources
should be protected as the Town grows.
1.3 The quality of development should be
maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the
additional growth in existing developed
areas (infill areas).
2. Skier/Tourist Concerns
2.1 The community should emphasize its role as
a destination resort while accommodating
day visitors.
2.2 The ski area owner, the business community
and the Town leaders should work together
closely to make existing facilities and the
Town function more efficiently.
31
2.3 The ski area owner, the business community
and the Town leaders should work together
to improve facilities for day skiers.
2.4 The community should improve summer
recreational and cultural opportunities to
encourage summer tourism.
2.5 The community should improve non-skier
recreational options to improve year-round
tourism.
3. Commercial
3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in
existing commercial areas to accommodate
both local and visitor needs.
3.5 Entertainment oriented businesses and
cultural activities should be encouraged in
the core areas to create diversity. More
night time businesses, on-going events and
sanctioned "street happenings" should be
encouraged.
E. IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATION OF NATURAL AND/OR
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS THAT EFFECT THE PROPERTY UPON WHICH
THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS PROPOSED.
The Town of Vail hazard maps do not show that this
area is in an avalanche, rockfall or debris flow
area. Floodplain does effect some of the property
but no improvements are proposed for this area. All
buildings will maintain the 50' stream setback for
Gore Creek. Staff is requiring that 100 year
floodplain information be provided for the area along
the Waterford site as the site has been disturbed,
and existing floodplain data is no longer relevant.
F. SITE PLAN, BUILDING, DESIGN, AND LOCATION, AND OPEN
SPACE PROVISIONS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A FUNCTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBLE AND SENSITIVE TO NATURAL
FEATURES, VEGETATION, AND OVERALL AESTHETIC QUALITY
OF THE COMMUNITY.
In general, the site planning for the project is very
positive. The planning takes advantage of the Gore
Creek area by locating a recreational path along-its
bank. The pedestrian arcades and plazas establish an
attractive area for pedestrians.
32
C Millrace IV•
The site plan for Millrace IV needs to be
consolidated so that an adequate open space buffer is
created between the proposed 8 dwelling units and the
hotel.
G. A CIRCULATION SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR BOTH VEHICLES AND
PEDESTRIANS ADDRESSING ON AND OFF SITE TRAFFIC
CIRCULATION.
On-site vehicular access is well designed. The
parking structures are easily accessible for vehicles
entering the project. The transit mall has been
planned to locate the bus stop in a manner that meets
all the needs of the Public Works Department and is
also readily accessible for pedestrians. There is
also an adequate mini-van loading area adjacent to
the Cornerstone building. Staff would like to see
specifics on loading/delivery for the Waterford
building. We are concerned that loading and delivery
does not occur on Westhaven Drive, especially due to
the fact that 3,800 s.f. of retail is proposed for
this building.
Cascade Village is also designed well for pedestrian
circulation. The project has provided a recreational
path throughout the entire length of the property.
The location of the path takes advantage of the
beauty of the Gore Creek area. The plaza designed
between the Cornerstone and Terrace buildings allows
for easy pedestrian circulation. A sidewalk will
also extend along the entire north side of the
Cornerstone building, past the conference center, and
down to Colorado Mountain College.. Staff recommends
that the sidewalk from the Cascade Club be extended
along the north side of Westhaven Drive to meet the
recreational path.
In respect to off-site circulation, the acceleration
and deceleration lanes built by the developer are
very positive and necessary for the project. Staff
does feel that Cascade Village needs an additional
emergency access point in the event that access from
the South Frontage Road to Westhaven Drive is
blocked. It is reasonable to require that the
developer provide a break-away bollard for the
emergency access road that exists between Eagle
Pointe and the Glen Lyon Subdivision. We would also
recommend that the developer try to provide adequate
snow storage areas along Westhaven Drive.
33
!~
C
H. FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE
IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE AND. IMPROVE NATURAL FEATURES,
RECREATION, VIEWS AND FUNCTIONS.
In general, Cascade Village has been designed by
using a concept of paved pedestrian plazas, formal
plantings, and water features. This approach is
compatible with the architecture.
Waterford•
The landscaping along the north and southeast
elevations must be substantial in order to minimize
the massiveness of the building. This concern should
be passed along to the Design Review Board.
The courtyard in the center of the Waterford building
is a positive improvement. Once again, the staff
would recommend that substantial materials be located
in the plaza to soften the building mass.
Cornerstone:
C A sidewalk and landscaping similar to what is on the
north side of the Plaza conference center will also
be constructed on the north side of the Cornerstone.
It is our understanding that the developer has taken
into consideration the snow shedding impacts on the.
landscaping. On the south side of the building, the
conceptual landscape plan shows a plaza with a brick
paver surface as well as patio space, water features,
and large planting beds.
Although the plan is only at a conceptual level, the
staff feels that the design will be very positive.
We would suggest that the final design incorporate as
much green space as possible to soften the paved
plaza area to avoid too much of a hard surface area
as is evident in some areas of Lionshead. We also
think that seating should be incorporated into the
plaza. Once again, large landscape materials are
needed to minimize the scale of the Plaza conference
center, Cornerstone, and Terrace Wing buildings.
Both the Cornerstone and Terrace Wing buildings have
ridge heights of 71 feet, which makes for massive
building facades. By using large landscape
materials, the pedestrian scale of the plaza will be
emphasized.
34
s
C Millrace IV•
As stated before, the eight dwelling unit plan for
Millrace IV must be consolidated. Area A functions
well in respect to open space, as it is adjacent to
Gore Creek and the recreational path. Staff does
believe that an open space area close to the urban
development in Area A will be valued by guests and
residents. We would suggest that Millrace IV be
planned with this concern in mind.
I. PHASING PLAN OR SUBDIVISION PLAN THAT WILL MAINTAIN A
WORKABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND EFFICIENT RELATIONSHIP
THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT.
The developer states:
"My best estimate for projecting the time which
a building permit will be applied for on each of
the undeveloped parcels is as follows. Please
remember that achieving this schedule is
dependent on reasonably conducive financing
` markets:"
1. Westhaven site - April 1989; completion 11/89
2. Waterford Parking Structure - July 1989;.
completion 12/89
3. Millrace III - April 1989; completion 11/89
4. Cornerstone - April 1990; completion 10/91
5. Millrace IV - April 1990; completion 12/90
6. Waterford - April 1991; completion 10/92
The staff position is that a temporary certificate of
occupancy for any of the buildings relying on the
Waterford parking structure to meet parking needs
will not be released until the parking structure is
completed and ready to be used.
35
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
A. HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
C 1. Natural Features:
We agree with the EIR statement that drainage
from the parking garages should be designed in a
manner which collects all silt and metal
discharges that might occur. It will also be
necessary that extra precautions be taken during
construction of the Waterford and Cornerstone
projects in order to prevent soil erosion into
the creek.
2. Man-made Features:
The many water features in Cascade Village
shall be required to have an overflow storm
drain if the system exceeds capacity.
3. Water and Sewer:
Increased square footage in commercial is
creating an increased water demand. These
increases have been reviewed by the Upper Eagle
Valley Water and Sanitation District and they
have been deemed acceptable.
4. Atmospheric Conditions:
The existing SDD4 has a maximum of 96 wood-
burning fireplaces that may be placed only in
dwelling units. Staff is strongly opposed to
allowing the A.U.'s and TR's to also have wood-
burning fireplaces. If the project is developed
using all the dwelling unit scenarios, 65
fireplaces could be added. This is a net
decrease of 25 fireplaces which is positive.
Air quality is probably one of the most highly
prized amenities of the Vail Valley. To approve
a request that would increase air pollution is
not appropriate. In addition, if this request
is approved, it would be difficult to deny other
property owners the same benefit.
5. Geologic Conditions:
Staff agrees that there are no impacts in this
area.
36
C 6. Biotic Conditions:
Staff agrees that there are no impacts.
7. Noise impacts•
Staff agrees that there are no impacts.
8. Visual Conditions:
The previous section of the memo discussed our
concerns with visual impacts of the Waterford
buildings.
9. Land Use Conditions:
Please see the previous section of the memo
concerning uses and densities.
10. Circulation and Transportation:
We agree that the intersection modifications and
reduced speed limits along the South Frontage
Road are adequate to handle the traffic from
Development Area A. We also believe the
installation of the transit facility is a very
positive and necessary improvement to the
project. We support the idea of having a
traffic attendant in the transit mall to
regulate shuttle buses and cars if necessary.
11. Loading and Delivery:
Staff feels that more information is needed on
loading and delivery of trash areas for the
Waterford Area. Two enclosed loading spaces of
720 s.f. are provided for the Cornerstone
Building off of Westhaven Drive.
12. Parking: Please see the section of the memo
relating to parking.
In summary, the main environmental impact from the
proposed amendments to Development Area A is the
additional air pollution from the fireplaces for dwelling
units and transient residential units. The EIR confirms
that additional air pollution will occur and we recommend
that this request be denied.
37
~~
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends approval of the amendments proposed
C for SDD4 with the following conditions:
1. Wood burning fireplaces shall only be allowed for
dwelling units. The number of wood burning
fireplaces allocated to dwelling units shall not
exceed the number approved under the existing Special
Development District 4.
2. The existing first floor retail space in the Plaza
conference building shall not be converted to a real
estate office.
3. The restricted dwelling unit or transient residential
dwelling unit shall meet all of the requirements
outlined in the definition in Section IIB.
4. The Millrace IV development plan shall be approved
for the 32 accommodation units having a total GRFA of
14,000 square feet. The Millrace IV development plan
for 8 dwelling units having a GRFA of 14,000 square
feet shall not be approved.
5. The fractional fee use shall be approved as a
conditional use for the dwelling units within
Westhaven building with a condition that the minimum
C ownership interval be five weeks.
6. Ten employee housing units as defined in Section IIL
shall be provided by the developer.
7. First floor Commercial Core I zoning shall be applied
to all first floor spaces of buildings having
commercial uses within Development Area A. The first
floor or street level shall be defined as that floor
of the building that is located at grade or street
level.
8. The total allowed GRFA for the project shall be
293,745 square feet only if the Millrace IV 32
accommodation plan is utilized. This allows for an
increase of 2,624 square feet of GRFA over the
allowable. If the Millrace IV 8 dwelling unit plan
is used, the GRFA shall be 11,270 square feet for the
8 DUs. The total allowable GRFA for the project if
the Millrace IV 8 dwelling unit plan is used shall be
290,945 square feet.
9. The Environmental Impact Report shall be updated
before the amendment requests are presented to the
Town Council. The Environmental Impact Report shall
be submitted two weeks before the date of the first
reading of the ordinance by the Town Council.. The
38
` ,,
updating of the EIR is required due to the many
changes that have been made to the proposal.
10. The ownership entity for Development Area A shall
enter into an agreement outlining the conditions that
relate to the restricted dwelling units or transient
residential units and restricted employee housing
units.
11. All water features within Development Area A shall
have overflow storm drains per the recommendation in
the Environmental Impact Report.
12. The developer shall be responsible for providing a
break-away bollard for the emergency access road
between Eagle Pointe and Westhaven Drive. This
improvement shall be constructed when a building
permit is requested .for the Cornerstone, Millrace III
or IV, Westhaven or Waterford buildings. .The bollard
shall be included. in the permit plans.
13. The developer shall construct a sidewalk that begins
at the entrance to the Cascade Club along Westhaven
Drive and extends to the west in front of the
Westhaven building to connect with the recreational
path to Donovan Park. The walk shall be constructed
when a building permit is requested for Westhaven.
The sidewalk shall be part of the building permit
plans.
14. The developer shall provide 100 year flood plain
information for the area adjacent to the Waterford
building and Cornerstone building before building
permits are released.
15. All required parking for the Cornerstone, Waterford
and Millrace IV (32 A.U.) buildings shall be provided
within one of the. parking structures. A temporary
certificate of occupancy shall not be released for
any of these projects until the structured parking is
available.
The following comments are strong recommendations which
the staff feels should be passed along to the Design
Review Board:
1. Substantial landscaping should be required for the
Waterford Building, particularly on the north and
creek side elevations.
2. Substantial landscaping should be required in the
Cornerstone plaza to soften the paved plaza areas as
much as possible.
39
3. The mass and bulk of the bridge connection between
the two buildings that comprise Cornerstone should be
decreased as much as possible to open up the view of
\_ the mountain from the transit mall.
4. The floor plans for the Waterford building should
indicate clearly enclosed trash and loading areas.

COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE
August 25, 1988
Kent Rose, Mayor
and the Vail Town Council
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Rd.
Vail, CO 81658
Dear Mr. Rose and Town Council Members:
It is my understanding that Andy Norris has recently proposed additions and/or
changes to the Cascade Village development and is seeking Town of Vail approval
of those changes. I do not know the specifics of the proposal, but am aware
that changes in the current parking requirements are included.
As you may know, Colorado Mountain College has been concerned about the
adequacy of parking at Cascade Village for some time and now, after five
years of operation, some of our concerns have been confirmed. For example,
on two occasions .this summer, June 14-17 and August 5-9, the Westin Hotel has
hosted conferences for organizations from Colorado and surrounding States.
Because of the distances, most attendees drove to Vail, and the combined public
and private (Westin Hotel) parking was not adequate to handle their guests
plus Cascade Club users and CMC students. The Westin Hotel was cooperative
in providing bus service from the parking structures during the August conference,
but the frustration and inconvenience were not. well received by our students.
The Westin notified us early this week that. between August 25th and 30th, we
may experience a parking shortage once again. Apparently a conference and a
tennis classic at the Cascade Club will fill the Hotel to capacity and additional
guests will be coming from other local lodges. Most guests will be driving in
and it is anticipated that there will not be sufficient parking for all of the
Hotel guests and our users.
Although I cannot provide specific dates, we experienced a similar shortage
of parking at least once last summer due to large conferences. Additionally,
last winter Cascade Club use was extensive, CMC enrollments were high and as
aresult, the parking structure was frequently filled to capacity. Day and
evening users are overlapping more often now and it is the hope of all businesses
here that during the winter months skiers will stay to shop and eat, potentially
compounding an existing problem.
CMC does not have user numbers for either of the parking structures, but is
attempting to get all available numbers from the Westin and Vail Ventures.
We will also be conducting an informal "count" several times a day for the
next 2-3 months to get amore accurate picture of the parking structure usage.
As we compile the data, we will keep you informed.

s
With the completion of the Westin's conference facilities and a tightening
of parking in Vail and Lionshead due to mountain expansion and resultant
increased skier numbers, we anticipate that the Cascade Village structures
will be insufficient to handle the users..
At this time, I respectfully request that you review Andy's proposal with
a careful eye toward ensurance of adequate parking. None of us can operate
successfully here without parking and current information indicates we are
already on the short side. Further development without additional parking
could cause the demise of businesses here, including Colorado Mountian College.
Although I will be on sabbatical leave from August 30, 1988 until September 1,
1989, Jim Olson, Interim Center Director, Vail, and Dr. Bob Evans, Executive
Dean, will be available to work with you if the need arises. And thank you,
in advance, for your consideration of our concern, and please feel free to
call upon Colorado Mountain College as you review Mr. Norris' proposal.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
C
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: November 28, 1988
SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit to allow a micro-
brewery on the Glen Lyon Office property in Special
Development District 4, Area D.
Applicants: Glen Lyon Office Building, Inc., A Colorado
Partnership
I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE
The applicants are requesting to
Glen Lyon Office property within
4 Area D. The underlying zoning
Business. Recently, the Arteria
amended to allow micro-breweries
micro-brewery is defined as:
build a micro-brewery on the
Special Development District
for Area D is Arterial
L Business District was
as a conditional use. A
Section 18.04.253 Micro-Brewery
A mixed use commercial operation that processes water,
malt, hops, and yeast into beer or ale by mashing,
C cooking, and fermenting that shall also include an on-
site public restaurant and/or bar which sells the beer
and ale produced on site. The maximum brewing capacity
shall be 7,500 barrels per year. A barrel is equivalent
to 31 gallons. The micro-brewery use shall not exceed
8,000 square feet of floor area, excluding enclosed
areas for loading, trash and delivery. The public
restaurant and/or bar shall have a minimum seating area
of 2,000 square feet and shall be excluded from the
total micro-brewery maximum square footage limit.
The actual micro-brewery expansion has a total gross square
footage of 17,600 square feet with a production capacity of
7,500 barrels per year. Specific uses within the brewery
expansion include:
Brewhouse: 6,600 sq
Beer hall: 1,774 sq
Brew Pub: 1,858 sq
Retail: 446 sq
Museum: 415 sq
Admin. Offices: 700 sq
Employee lockers: 296 sq
Loading: 685 sq
Additional sq ft for comma

~n areas, storage, and back of
The brewery expansion will be built onto the west end of the
existing Glen Lyon Office building. An enclosed loading
area is located on the northeast corner of the building. A
porte cochere drop-off area is also provided on the north
side of the building. A dining deck extends off of the
southwest corner of the building. The developer is also
proposing to build a new bus stop and re-align the bike path.
The following statements have been taken from the applicants'
proposal describing the micro-brewery operations.
"The brewery will operate its warehousing and storage
facilities off-site. Raw materials and finished goods
will be transported to and from the brewery in smaller
trucks (maximum length of 22 feet). Tractor trailer
operations will be located at the off site wareho~?se.
The distributor for the brewery will pick up finished
goods in a tractor/trailer at the warehouse. No
tractor/trailers will be permitted at the brewery.
The Vail brewery has a completely different program than
the Boulder brewing company. Boulder is producing in
excess of 9,000 barrels per year, 90% of which is being
bottled (112,000 cases). Boulder distributes into 34
states, thereby creating a large commitment to small
quantity trucking. Less than 20 of Boulder's production
is consumed on premise. Boulder requires its malt in
bulk loads of 40,000 pounds requiring a silo for
storage.
The Vail brewery will produce about 7,500 barrels per
year. Approximately 35% will be consumed on premises.
10,000 to 15,000 cases of beer will be bottled per year.
The remaining will be kegged for distribution to Eagle
County, Summit County and the Front Range. Vail expects
to have only one distributor, Murray Distributing of
Denver, who will pick up the finished product from the
Minturn warehouse. Vail Ale will sell only in
Colorado.
For a brewery, bottling requires the greatest storage
for both packaging material and finished product. Vail
will minimize its bottling activity to approximately 15%
of production.
Lastly, Vail will acquire its malt in 50 and 100 lb
bags. Tractor/trailer loads will be stored in Minturn
and delivered in brew-size quantities. to the brewery in
van-size trucks." (Memo Andy Norris Sept. 14, 1988)
( II. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.60, the Community Development
Department recommends approval of the conditional use permit
based upon the following factor:
Consideration of Factors:
A. Relationship and impact of the use on development
C objectives of the Town.
The purpose section of the Arterial Business zone
district reads as follows:
Section 18.29.010
"The Arterial Business District is intended to
provide sites for office space, public utilities,
service stations, limited light industry having no
adverse environmental impacts that provide
significant on-site tourist amenities, and limited
shopping and commercial facilities serving the Town
and Upper Eagle Valley residents and guests.
Multiple family dwellings for use as employee
housing will be appropriate under certain
circumstances. Arterial Business District is
intended to ensure adequate light, air, open
space, and other amenities appropriate to permitted
and conditional types of buildings and uses, and to
maintain a convenient (limited) shopping, business,
service, and residential environment."
The Environmental Impact Report has established that the
micro-brewery use does not have any significant negative
environmental impacts. It is also considered to be a
compatible limited light industrial use that provides
tourist amenities on site such as the restaurant/bar,
museum, retail shop, and brewery tours. Staff believes
that the use is compatible with the business and office
uses presently allowed in the Arterial Business zone
district. Due to the fact that the micro-brewery use
has such a great potential to become a major guest
attraction, staff feels that the use is very supportive
of development objectives of the Town.
B. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation facilities, utilities,
schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other
public facilities needs.
The Environmental Impact Report has provided information
for staff to determine that the use does not have any
significant impacts on these factors.
C. The effect upon traffic with particular reference to
(\ congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and
convenience, traffic flow and control, access,
maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and
parking areas.
The Environmental Impact Report has indicated that the
additional traffic due to the micro-brewery use will not
necessitate any improvements to the South Frontage Road,
given Colorado Division of Highway requirements for safe
ingress and egress. The proposal has positive impacts
on traffic and safety. The applicant will provide a bus
shelter on the western side of the property. A
relocated bike path with less slope will be more
easily accessible for pedestrians and cyclists..
D. Effect upon the character of the area in which the
proposed use is to be located including the scale and
bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding
uses.
As was described in the memo concerning the amendment to
Special Development District #4 for Area D, the
expansion for the micro-brewery will up-grade the
appearance of the existing Glen Lyon Office site. The
new architecture and revised site plan will be a great
improvement to this property which should in turn have
positive effects upon surrounding properties.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
The applicant has submitted an Environmental Impact Report
for the micro-brewery use. The report was completed by RBD
Engineering Consultants and Jamar Associates. RBD has
analyzed the potential impacts from the micro-brewery having
a capacity of 7,500 barrels per year. The following
paragraphs are taken from the Environmental Impact Report
and summarize the types of potential impacts that were
studied for the proposal:
"A. Natural Features
Drainage of the parking garages will be designed in a
manner which will collect all silt and oil discharges
that might occur. Due to the proximity of Development
Area D to Gore Creek, extra precaution should be taken
during construction in order to prevent soil erosion
into the creek.
B. Water
The increased water demand is a result of the increased
increment of commercial square footage and, most
4
significantly, the micro brewery. Total water required
for maximum production per year would be 1,395,000
gallons, or approximately 4.298 acre feet. Upper Eagle
Valley Water and Sanitation District has provided the
Town staff with a letter stating that they have no
problem with the production of 7,500 barrels annually.
C. Waste Water
It is proposed that the 1,162,500 gallons per year or
96, 875 gallons per month will be required to be treated
by the Upper Eagle Valley Water Sanitation District.
The EIR also identifies biological oxygen demand as a
second concern related to waste water. BOD is a
measurement of the strength of the waste water and
therefore a measurement of the magnitude of the
treatment prior to releasing back into the stream. The
Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation District may
want to require a manhole on the brewery sewer service
line so that they can sample BOD.
At the end of the brewing process, a solid product
consisting primarily of spent grain results. These
solids are strained or filtered off in deep water
by equipment contained within the brewery. They are
C collected in a hopper and routinely picked up in a
vehicle the size of a pickup and sold for beneficial use
such as cattle feed.
D. Air Omissions and Odor
During the winter months, temperature inversions may
occur in the. Vail Valley. The best information
indicates that a strong inversion that sets up well and
continues through the night could occur from 6 to 12
times per year...
To be more specific, an inversion, if it is going to
occur, would begin to develop around 3:30 in the
afternoon and be fully developed in approximately 2
hours. It will continue through the night, start to
clear out around 8:00 in the morning and will be totally
dissipated in approximately 1-1/2 hours.
In discussions with various agencies in Boulder where a
micro-brewery exists, there have never been complaints
registered regarding stack emissions. Odors are similar
to those of baking bread because of the malt and are
very weak. With the brewery stack designed as an
architectural element of the building at a height of the
surrounding ridge lines and care not to begin a brewing
process during an identified temperation inversion,
emissions should go undetected.
E. Loading and Delivery
The brewery includes a fully enclosed loading dock. It
has been sized to accommodate two 22-foot unit trucks,
which is the maximum size in Vail for vendor deliveries.
The loading area also includes the spent grain trailer.
A trash compactor is included in a fully enclosed
outdoor area.
The distributor for the brewery will pick up finished
goods in a tractor/trailer at the warehouse in Minturn.
No tractor/trailers will be permitted at the brewery.
F. Noise
The major sources of noise are anticipated to be the
bottling phase of operations and .the process of loading
and delivery of kegs, bottles, and other brewery
supplies as well as the pick up of the solid waste which
results as a by-product of the brewing process.
The bottling operation is proposed to be totally
enclosed and therefore will not produce noise external
to the building.
The loading dock is within the envelope of the building
and has large operable sound proof doors which will be
closed before, during, and after loading operations to
eliminate any potential noise problems resulting from
either delivery of supplies or pick up of product and
solid waste.
G. Visual Conditions.
The redevelopment of the Glen Lyon office Building will
significantly upgrade the architectural character of the
site and will integrate the overall theme and character
of the entire Cascade Village to include Area D. SDD4
is not located within any designated view corridor of
the Town of Vail.
H. Land Use Conditions
The proposed micro-brewery meets the Town's objectives
of improving and enhancing year-round tourism. As was
.stated in Section III of the SDD memo, the proposal
supports Land Use objectives of the Town of Vail.
I. Circulation and Transportation
"Per the State Highway Department access code, left turn
storage lanes at either access drive would not be
6
warranted for highway peak hours volumes and posted 25
MPH speeds. Aright-turn deceleration lane at the
parking deck access would be marginally warranted. An
acceleration lane for right or left turns out of the
parking structure would not be warranted. Site
topography and Town landscaping requirements appear to
preclude right turn deceleration lane construction in
the space available. Most intersections along South
Frontage Road in the 25 MPH speed zone do not have
deceleration lanes. Hence, the absence of a
deceleration lane at the parking structure entrance
would be compatible .with driver expectancy.
The new Porte cochere front door drop-off lane would
operate as a one-way drive entering from the west and
exiting to the east. The left turn DVH, six vehicles
would not warrant a left turn deceleration lane. Right
turn speed change lanes into or out of the Porte cochere
drive are not warranted because of the low design hour
volume.
Any widening should be done as a complete project for
the entire business district and not as a series of
separate, independent projects to avoid serpentine
alignment of through travel lanes." (TDA Report, Nov.
16, 1988)
Staff Comment:
It is our understanding from CDOH that they also believe
the proposal does not generate enough additional traffic
to warrant specific changes to the Frontage Road. Staff
believes that it will be more effective to address South
Frontage Road improvements through a comprehensive
improvement district. The Town of Vail Public Works
Department and CDOH also concur that a comprehensive
improvement district approach will be more effective.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department -
DATE: November 28, 1988
SUBJ: Request to Amend Special Development District No. 4,
Area D, Glen Lyon office site to allow a micro-
brewery, office expansion, parking structure, and
residential units.
Applicant: Glen Lyon Office Building, Inc., a
Colorado Partnership
I. SUMMARY OF REQUESTS FOR AREA D, GLEN LYON OFFICE SITE
The applicants are requesting approval to amend the
Special Development District 4, Area D, development plan.
The amendments include:
1. Brewery Addition:
The brewery addition is approximately 17,600 square
feet of gross floor area. The building connects to
the west end of the existing Glen Lyon office
building. The addition is 3 stories high and
C includes the following uses:
Brewing Area: 6600 sq. ft.
Pub: 1,858 sq. ft.
• Beer Hall: 1,774 sq. ft.
Retail: 446 sq. ft.
Museum: 415 sq. ft.
Brewery office: 700 sq. ft.
The building also has a new deck area which extends
down to the bike path adjacent to the creek. A drop-
off is proposed at the entry to the brewery and is
located on Highway right-of-way.
2. Expansion to Existing Office Building:
An additional 2,400 square feet of office space would
be added to the Glen Lyon Office Building. The new
office area is located on the west end of the
existing building.
~.
3. Parking Structure: ,
A two-level parking structure (100 spaces) is
proposed to be built directly to the east of the Glen
Lyon Office Building. The vehicular access to the
property would be moved further to the east according
to the Arterial Business District Circulation and
Access Plan. The Frontage Road view of the parking
structure would be screened by a berm along the
entire length of the north elevation. The south side
(or creek side) of the structure would remain open.
The east building has 3 garage spaces and 5 surface
spaces. Total parking provided on site is 108.
4. East Building:
Two alternative development scenarios are proposed
for this area. Alternative A provides for a 5,725
square foot office building. Alternative B includes
2,400 square feet of office space plus one free
market dwelling unit having 1,630 square feet as well
as two employee housing units, at 795 and 900 square
feet. The exterior of the building remains the same
under either alternative.
5. Bike Path:
The developer is proposing to relocate the bike path
further to the west in order to decrease the
steepness of the path. The relocated path also
allows more open space between the bike path and
dining patio.
6. Bus Shelter:
The developer has proposed to build a new bus shelter
along the Frontage Road to the west of the Glen Lyon
property. The structure is actually on Colorado
Division of Highways right-of-way. The Town of Vail
would be responsible for maintaining the structure
and for providing bus service.
7. Undergroundinq of Utilities:
The developer is proposing to underground the Holy
Cross electrical lines that extend along the north
side of the property adjacent to the South Frontage
Road.

II. COMPARISON OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO THE ARTERIAL
BUSINESS ZONE DISTRICT.
A. BACKGROUND ON GLEN LYON PROPERTY
C In 1976, Special Development District #4 was established.
The Arterial Business Zone District was adopted in March
of 1982. Arterial Business zoning serves as the
underlying zone district for the Glen Lyon Office
property. Technically, the property is still within
Special Development District #4. However, the Arterial
Business Zone District (ABD) is used. in respect to
determining allowable uses and general site development
standards.
When the Special Development District was originally
established, the development plan called for 10,00.0 square
feet of office space. .The office building was constructed
in 1979-80 with a gross area of approximately 13,000
square feet. In March of 1982, the PEC and Town Council
approved an amendment to the SDD which allowed
approximately 3,000 square feet of existing storage within
the building to be converted to office space.
In 1983, a request was also approved by the Planning
Commission and Town Council to allow the total gross area
of the building to be 25,000 square feet. Of this 25,000
square feet, 18,750 square feet was considered to be net
floor area for office. The remainder of the area was
devoted to common area such as mechanical, lobby areas and
C corridors.
The 1983 request also included a change to the front
setback. The front setback would be adjusted from 20 feet
to 15 feet. This request was approved by the PEC with two
conditions. The first was that "the bike path, right turn
and left turn lanes shall be provided in accordance with
the Circulation and Access Plan for the Arterial Business
zone district with the stipulation that the. funding be
worked out within a period of 60 days after the approval,
and that no building permit would be issued until the
funding was worked out." The. second condition stated that
the applicant "shall agree to sharing in the cost of
providing an additional fire hydrant within the vicinity
as required by the Vail Fire Department." .(PEC Minutes;
January 20, 1983)
In March of 1986 the developer requested to extend the
expired approval for Development Area D. This request was
also approved.
In April of 1986 the Glen Lyon Office Building partnership
requested a minor subdivision of the Glen Lyon Office
C
C
Building property. The concept was to divide the 1.8 acre
site into two parcels so that ownership could be divided
prior to construction. The development would be limited
to the approved development plan for the parcel. This
request was also approved by the PEC. However, the minor
subdivision plat has not been finalized and recorded with
the County by the applicant.
B. ARTERIAL BUSINESS ZONING COMPARED TO PROPOSED SDD

development on the site. Below is a summary of how the
proposal compares to the requirements of the ABD

C. SUMMARY
The proposed development plan departs from the Arterial
Business District standards in the areas of setbacks,
stream centerline setback, height, and parking and
loading. Staff's opinion is that the setback differences
are warranted due to the narrow width of the property, the
steep slopes and large evergreens on the south side of the
lot, and the constraints of the 50 foot stream centerline
setback. The applicant has designed a building that is
dramatically below the allowable FAR and site coverage for
the property. These encroachments are slight, especially
when one also considers that structured parking has been
located on the property.
The small area of the roof which is at a height of 41 feet
is insignificant. The project has been designed to work
with the existing slope of the lot. Staff believes that
the architects have done an admirable job of fitting the
development in a sensitive manner onto the property. It
should be emphasized that the. roof actually. has a greater
C area under 32 feet than is required by the Arterial
Business-zone district.
The ABD zoning does not allow loading or parking in the
front setback unless the parking is in an underground
structure. Staff believes that it is reasonable to allow
loading in the front setback for this project, as the
loading area is completely enclosed. The drop-off area on
Colorado Division of Highways property appears to be
acceptable to the Colorado Division of Highways engineers.
It is felt that these differences from the ABD zoning are
acceptable and will not create any negative impacts on the
Frontage Road. Structured parking. is positive.
Allowances must be given for parking in the front setback
due to the narrow width of the lot.
Staff's opinion is that the differences between the SDD
and ABD zoning standards are minimal and acceptable.
III. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DESIGN CRITERIA
It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that
submittal material and the proposed development plan comply
with each of the following standards, or to demonstrate that
one or more of them are not applicable or that a practical
solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved.
A. DESIGN COMPATIBILITY AND SENSITIVITY TO THE IMMEDIATE
ENVIRONMENT, NEIGHBORHOOD AND ADJACENT PROPERTIES
RELATIVE TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, SCALE, BULK,
BUILDING HEIGHT, BUFFER ZONES, IDENTITY, CHARACTER,
VISUAL INTEGRITY AND ORIENTATION.
The proposal provides for a significant upgrade of
the existing development on this site. The new style
of architecture which utilizes stucco, metal roofs,
patios and balconies similar in style to Cascade
Village will establish a visual connection with the
Glen Lyon property.
The ABD floor area ratio (FAR) allows for 57,097 s.f.
The proposal calls for a FAR of 39,444 s.f. Site
coverage is also below the maximum of 60~. The plan
has a 38% coverage which includes the parking
structure.
The density on the site is drastically below what is
allowed under the Arterial Business District.
Standard zoning would allow for a 34,578 square feet
of GRFA with a maximum of 33 dwelling units. The
proposal includes 3,325 square feet of GRFA and three
units. Two of the units will be restricted as
employee housing units.
C The building has been designed so that it is built
into the site. This. design approach dramatically
decreases the scale and bulk of the building. This
site has very steep slopes on the. southern portion of
the property. In addition, the property has a very
narrow width which presents a difficult design
problem. Even given these constraints, the project
in most areas meets all of the ABD requirements.
Staff's opinion is that the proposal greatly improves
this property in respect to quality of architecture
and sensitive site planning. The project should have
a positive impact on adjacent properties.
B. USES, ACTIVITY AND DENSITY WHICH PROVIDE A
COMPATIBLE, EFFICIENT AND WORKABLE RELATIONSHIP WITH
SURROUNDING USES AND ACTIVITY.
The project provides a mix of uses which is efficient
and workable with the surrounding area. The
combination of the brewery, bar and restaurants,
office, and residential uses will serve as a
transition zone between Lionshead and Cascade
Village--two guest oriented areas of the community.
The micro-brewery with its ability to become a guest
attraction will be a unique and compatible use for
this area.
7
It is also positive that the employee housing use
C will be located on the site. Under ABD zoning, only
employee housing units are allowed to be built.
However, a special development district must work
with the types of uses listed in the underlying zone
district. The SDD allows for flexibility as to
whether these units are employee housing units or
free market units. If this project was not utilizing
.the SDD process, the 3 dwelling units would all be
required to be employee housing unit.
C. COMPLIANCE WITH PARKING AND LOADING REQUIREMENTS AS
OUTLINED IN SECTION 18.52.
The Town of Vail parking and loading standards do not
address a micro-brewery use. In order to address the
specific parking demand of the proposed development
for Area D, the applicant submitted a report
entitled, "Parking Demand Analysis & Parking
Management Plan," prepared by TDA Colorado, Inc.
(August 10, 1988). Below is a brief summary of the
points made in the study by TDA:
1. Parking Demand Parameters
"For parking demand analysis, we are interested
in the number of vehicles expected during "peak
C accumulation," i.e., that time of day when the
combination of employee and visitors on site
will be highest.
Of principal interest is the portion of visitors
and employees who will arrive as either a driver
or passenger of a parked vehicle. Employees
will heavily rely on private autos, followed by
public transit as their preferred arrival mode.
Summer visitors typically exhibit much higher
use of .private autos than do winter visitors.
Summer visitors often will take day trips to and
from distant locations. Fewer winter visitors
will use a private or rental car as a way of
reaching Vail than in the summer. Even those
winter destination visitors who arrive via auto,
will often leave their car parked for in-town
trips, preferring to use the transit system or
walk instead.
The Vail free-shuttle transit system provides
year-round service for residents and visitors.
The micro-brewery site is served by the West
Vail south route which travels along South
Frontage connecting Cascade Village, Lionshead
Village and the Vail Transportation Center in
8
Vail Village. Site redevelopment will
incorporate a bus pull-in for ,an east-bound bus
stop. This will augment the existing west-bound
stop across the road at the Vail Professional
Building. The current bus schedule provides
hourly service during summer morning and
afternoon peak periods. Throughout winter, the
service increases to every 45 minutes from 7:00
AM to midnight. A number of lodgings in Vail
provide courtesy vans for transporting their
guests to and from local attractions. We
anticipate almost half, 45%, of winter visitors
will use either public transport or courtesy
vans to visit the micro-brewery. Summer visitor
use of these modes will be considerably less,
17%, due to reduced transit service and greater
availability and reliance on private autos
during the summer.
The site is served by two bikeways - a bike lane
alongside east bound Frontage Road and a bike
path along the south side of Gore Creek. An
estimated 15% of summer visitors will use the
bikeways to either walk or bike to the micro-
brewery. In winter, an estimated 8% of the
visitors will be other, as pedestrian or ski-in/
ski-out replaces bicycle as the non-vehicular
mode of arrival at the micro-brewery.
2. Parking Lavout and Management
...a portion of the parking structure can be
cordoned off to serve the daytime needs of the
office space. Thirty to forty of the 60 spaces
needed for office use could be accessed through
a gate controlled on the lower level of the
structure. The remaining office space could be
signed for "tenants of Glen Lyon Office only."
During evening hours when the spaces are
expected to be needed for micro-brewery guests,
the gate would be lifted for visitor self
parking and assigned areas could be used by car
hops as valet spaces. Except for spaces marked
as "Two-hour visitor spaces," all of the parking
stalls would be unsigned except for a blanket
restriction against. day skier or other
unauthorized use.
3. Summary
Our analysis of the proposed Vail brewery and
remodeled Glen Lyon Office space concludes that
a 92 parking s ace sup ly will be sufficient
9
for typical peak parking needs. As there are no
parking standards for a guest ;oriented micro-
brewery, our analysis has considered anticipated
employment, visitor capacity and the seasonal
variation in visitation and travel by auto in
this destination resort community. Design
conditions will likely be given by summer
holiday periods when employment and visitation
will be at capacity and 68~ of the visitors are
estimated to arrive via a parked car. Public
transit, courtesy vans and walks/bikes would
account for the remaining visitor modes of
arrival. Peak micro-brewery parking demand will
occur between 7:00 and 8:00 PM. Daytime office
use peaks at about 2:O0 PM and about 6:00 PM
virtually all office spaces would be vacant. A
parking management plan for the required
structure should be adopted to help ensure
adequate parking supply is available to daytime
and evening employees and visitors to the Vail
Brewery/Glen Lyon office development and Cascade
Village. With one access drive, parking
management would propose two levels structure
should be virtually self monitored, using
conventional gate controls, coded cards and
signing." (TDA Report Aug. 10, 1988)

Total
Scenario A = 101.0 spaces
Scenario B = 108.0 spaces
According to Town of Vail standards, the project would have an
approximate parking calculation of 101 or 108 required parking
spaces. The applicant is providing 108 spaces on site.
The staff agrees with the TDA parking study on their
assumptions about the parking patterns of the users of this
project. TDA states:
"Spaces used by daytime office workers will be used by
brewery visitors during the peak evening hours." In
essence, "we believe the nature of this attraction in its
location with easy access to I-70 will generate higher
visitor parking demand than the Town's respective standard
provides. Conversely, the compatibility of office and
micro-brewery uses affords an opportunity to manage the
proposed structure parking supply effectively for each
use. " (TDA Parking Report, August 10, 1988, p. 7)
Staff concurs with TDA that the brewery operation is a use that
C cannot be addressed accurately by the present Town of Vail
parking standards. We believe the TDA parking study provides a
more accurate parking requirement than the Town of Vail parking
standards even though the project meets the Town of Vail
requirements. We also agree that it is imperative that a
parking management plan be implemented by the owner of the
project. The management plan is critical to the effective
functioning of parking for the project. We cannot support the
idea of the potential surplus of 10 to 15 parking spaces in the
winter season being used for skier parking. We believe that the
brewery would need to be in operation for. several years before
any proposal to allow skier parking on site would be
reasonable.
5. Staff Summary
Loading
Once again, the
apply directly
that the brewer
dock. The. dock
The loading area
Town of Vail loading standards do not
to this proposal. The developer has stated
y will include a fully enclosed loading
will accommodate two 22-foot unit trucks.
also includes the spent grain trailer. A
11
trash compactor is included in a fully enclosed outdoor
area. The distributor. for the brewery will pick up
finished goods in a tractor/trailer at the warehouse. No
tractor/trailers will be permitted at the brewery.
C Staff believes that this is a very important condition of
approval for the brewery. The Glen Lyon property is
totally unable to handle semi deliveries due to the lack
of off-site loading and conflicts with the South Frontage
Road traffic. Staff would also like to see one additional
loading space in the parking structure to .allow for
deliveries to the office. We believe that this additional
loading area can be easily accommodated on the top of the
parking structure without severely impacting the parking.
D. CONFORMITY WITH APPLICABLE ELEMENTS OF THE VAIL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TOWN POLICIES AND URBAN DESIGN
PLANS.
The following sections of the Town of Vail Land Use
Plan relate to this proposal:
General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled
environment, maintaining a balance between
residential, commercial, and recreational uses
to serve both the visitor and the permanent
resident.
C Skier/Tourist Concerns
2.5 The community should improve nonskier
recreational options to improve year-round
tourism.
Commercial
3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in
existing commercial areas to accommodate both
local and visitor needs.
3.5 Entertainment oriented businesses and cultural
activities should be encouraged in the core
areas to create diversity. More night-time
businesses, ongoing events and sanctioned
"street. happenings" should be encouraged.
E. IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATION OF NATURAL AND/OR
GEOLOGIC HAZARDS THAT AFFECT THE PROPERTY UPON WHICH
THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT IS PROPOSED.
12
No hazards are present on the Glen Lyon property.
The site is affected by the flood plain. However,
development is not proposed in this area.
The parking structure does encroach by 8 feet into
the 50 foot stream setback. The south side of the
lot has several physical constraints which make it
difficu~t to locate the parking structure on the
property without encroaching into the 50 foot stream
setback. The physical hardships include the narrow
shape of the lot, the steep slopes on the south bank
of the property, and the mature trees which are
located in the general area of the parking structure.
In addition, the staff believes that it is important
to provide a minimum of 4 feet along the northern
side of the parking structure to allow for
landscaping in front of the structure. Given these
constraints, staff believes that it is very
reasonable to allow the parking structure to encroach
8 feet into the stream setback.
F. SITE PLAN, BUILDING, DESIGN AND LOCATION, AND OPEN
SPACE PROVISIONS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A.FUNCTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBLE AND SENSITIVE TO NATURAL
FEATURES, VEGETATION, AND OVERALL AESTHETIC QUALITY
OF THE COMMUNITY.
Staff's opinion is that the site planning. as well as
building design and location for the project have
been designed to meet this criteria.
G. A CIRCULATION SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR BOTH VEHICLES AND
PEDESTRIANS ADDRESSING ON- AND OFF-SITE TRAFFIC
CIRCULATION.
The relocated access point per the ABD circulation
plan will improve the traffic circulation in this
area. The drop-off area on the northwest corner of
the building should have no significant negative
impacts on the traffic along the South Frontage Road.
The Highway Department has indicated to the staff
that they see no problems with the drop-off area as
long as the developer obtains an access permit. CDOH
also stated that it is possible that the drop-off
would be impacted by the expansion of the South
Frontage Road.
As mentioned before, staff feels that the
improvements to the South Frontage Road should be
completed as an over-all improvement district for the
area as opposed to each property owner making their
own improvements. We do feel that it is important
13
that the property owner be willing to participate in
the project financially according t6 what financing
plan is developed for the project.
C In respect to pedestrian access to this site, the
relocated bike path will have less slope than the
previous bike path. This improvement should make it
much easier for cyclists and pedestrians to access
through this area. In addition, a new bus stop is
proposed on Colorado Division of Highways property to
the west of the Glen Lyon site. The Town of Vail
Public Works Department has indicated that they will
be able to provide bus service to the stop and
maintenance for the structure. The developer will be
required to obtain an access permit from the Highway
Department before the structure is built.
Staff believes that the applicant should look at the
possibility of relocating the pedestrian path from
the parking structure to the brewery on their own
property. Presently, the path is located on the
public right-of-way. It is preferable to locate the
path on the Glen Lyon property to avoid two parallel
paths. We would also recommend that the applicant
include a pedestrian connection from the east end of
the parking structure to the office building.
H. FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE
IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE AND IMPROVE NATURAL FEATURES,
RECREATION, VIEWS AND FUNCTIONS.
C The landscape plan indicates sigfiificant landscaping
for the property. Of primary concern is that
substantial landscaping be planted along the north
and south sides of the parking structure. The
orientation of the dining patio toward the creek
provides for wonderful views and optimizes the
natural features adjacent to the site.
I. PHASING PLAN OR SUBDIVISION PLAN THAT WILL MAINTAIN A
WORKABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND EFFICIENT RELATIONSHIP
THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT.
The applicant. has submitted the following phasing
plan for the Glen Lyon property:
Phase I: Expansion And Remodel Of Existing Office
Building
Parking Structure, Brewery
Construction Start: April 1989
Construction Completion: December 1989
14
Phase II Addition of East Building
Construction Start: April 1990
Construction Completion: December 1990
The staff has no problem with this phasing plan.
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
Please see the conditional use memo for a review of the
environmental impact report.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to
Area D. The project meets all of the design criteria for
amendments to Special Development Districts. The project
will be a significant benefit to the community due to the
unique mix of uses and high quality design. Our approval

Staff would recommend that the Design Review Board look at
the following issues related to this projects
1. Pedestrian access from the east side of the structure
to the east office building should. be required.
2. The pedestrian path from the parking structure to the
brewery entry should be located on Glen Lyon
property.
3. One additional loading space should be provided for
the main office building in the parking structure.

PEC minutes 10/10/88
C 3. Request to amend Special Development District 4, Area A,
Cascade Village.
Applicant: Vail Ventures, Ltd.
Kristan Pritz presented the staff memo on the request. She
described the background on the Cascade Village Development.
The presentation followed the format of the memo. The staff
recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the Special
Development District 4, Area A with conditions as outlined in
the memo. During the meeting, staff added the following
notations to the list of conditions:
1. In respect to condition 8:
The difference in GRFA for the total project
(existing) 291,121 s.f. and the (proposed) 8 d.u.
Millrace plan scenario of 290,945 s.f. is 176 s.f.
The 176 s.f. may be applied to Westhaven so that the
developer does not lose development rights.
2. In respect to Condition 15:
The Waterford structure when built will trigger the
development plan for Millrace IV. This means that
the accommodation unit or dwelling unit plan must be
C selected before the Waterford structure could be
built. This is due to the fact that parking for
Millrace IV is located in the Waterford structure.
3. In respect to Condition 15:
The parking structure will have pollution control
mechanisms.
4. New Condition #16:
Erosion control methods will be used during
construction of the Waterford and Cornerstone
buildings to avoid impacts on the stream.
Andy Norris, representing Vail Ventures, Ltd., responded to the
conditions of the staff approval.
1. Andy felt he was entitled to the 96 fireplaces and
stated that it was important to provide the
fireplaces in transient residential units and
dwelling units up to his maximum amount.
2. He wanted to have the office space. He agreed that
Commercial Core I zoning was appropriate for first
floor space as long as he could have the one office
space in the Plaza Conference Building.
C 3. Okay!
4. He felt that this was a site planning issue and that
the Design Review Board could work out the site plan
for the dwelling unit scenario for Millrace IV.
5. & 6. & 7. Okay!
8. He wanted 293,745 square feet of GRFA for the
completed project.
9. & 10. & 11. Okay!
12. Andy said that he had a fundamental disagreement with
this requirement as he felt that the developer of
Eagle Pointe should be responsible for the bollard.
The bollard was an original requirement of the Eagle
Pointe project which was not followed through with by
the developer.
13. Okay!
14. Andy agreed to provide floodplain and stream
centerline information for Waterford. He felt that
if the staff wanted the 100-year floodplain
C information updated for this stretch of stream that
it was the Town's responsibility to contact the Flood
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to request that
this work be completed.
15. & 16. Okay!
In respect to the Design Review Board recommendations, Andy
agreed with points 1, 2 & 4, but did not agree that point 3
should be passed on to the Design Review Board. His opinion is
that the bridge connection between the two buildings in the
Cornerstone project is very appropriate.
Peggy Osterfoss asked if the Commercial for Cascade Village
would be similar to Lionshead and/or the Village. Andy
responded that yes, it would be similar. He said that
basically the amount of retail is limited by the amount of
parking he could provide. Peggy stated that she felt parking
was a big issue due to the impacts of the Colorado Mountain
College, and lift. She felt that the lift will impact parking
in a way that would be difficult to ascertain.
Andy responded that valet parking is used on extremely busy
days and will be necessary in the future. Peggy stated that
3
C she felt that it was unfair that the developer lose his maximum
amount of fireplaces for the project.
Bryan Hobbs felt that the number of fireplaces should be based
on a dwelling unit count. He supported all the other staff
conditions. He stated that he was unsure about the emergency
bollard issue. He felt that the mass and bulk of the bridge
connection on the Cornerstone building was fine.
Diana Donovan did not see how the project would work for
circulation. Andy Norris explained how the general circulation
for pedestrians and vehicles worked. He stated that the
covered bridge to the club is important and should be used.
The Cascade Club covered entry by the bridge is also a space
that can be used for drop-offs. Andy agreed that better
management of the drop-off and pick-up areas in the project is
necessary. He explained to Diana that drop-off by the CMC
building is allowed and that the Westin plaza area had been
specifically designed to allow for cars to flow in and out of
this area. Diana asked how trash would be handled. He stated
that all projects will have interior .trash compactors.
Diana suggested that benches and bike racks be added to the
Westin, CMC and Cascade Club areas. Diana said that the office
may be nice but that Andy could not have it both ways.
In respect to the Millrace IV plan, Diana said that she
supported the 32-accommodation plan and that she agreed that
additional square footage could be allowed due to the area
being devoted to lodge rooms.
She stated that she did not have any problem with the bridge
connection on the Cornerstone building.
Sidney Schultz questioned why it would not be more appropriate
to change the definition of an accommodation unit to allow for
a kitchen as opposed to putting restrictions on a dwelling unit
to create the transient residential unit. Kristan Pritz
responded that the staff had discussed this issue with the Town
Attorney, Larry Eskwith. She stated that he and the staff felt
that it was a more logical approach to restrict dwelling units
instead of creating a new definition for an accommodation unit.
The definition of a dwelling unit and an accommodation unit is
based primarily on whether or not the unit has a kitchen. To
change this approach could have unknown ramifications on how
density is calculated for projects throughout the community.
Sidney stated that he felt fireplaces should be limited to
dwelling units only and perhaps allocate fireplaces on a
building by building basis.
Pam Hopkins was concerned about the Frontage Road landscaping
and fireplace number. She was concerned that the north facade
4
along the Waterford building would be more like a wall. Andy
stated that they were trying to get away from the Interstate
due to the negative impacts I-70 has on the project. Pam liked
the requirement for the bollard. She also felt comfortable
with the office space in the plaza conference wing.
She was concerned about snow/shedding problems and felt that
the architects needed to look at this issue closely. She
suggested using snow guards. Andy stated that they are using a
combination of snow guards and protection for pedestrians to
avoid the snow/shedding problem.
Jim Viele stated that there were excellent points made on both
sides of the issue concerning the fireplaces. He felt that it
was a difficult issue to decide. He was open to allowing some
fireplaces for certain transient residential units and was
willing to look at some kind of compromise on the .issue. He
agreed that the first floor office space should be allowed.
The use exists in Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II. He
felt that a small amount of office space on first floor was
justifiable.
In respect to the Millrace IV 8-dwelling unit plan, he agreed
with staff that additional work needed to be done on the site
planning for this proposal.
C In respect to the GRFA for the project, he agreed with the
staff's condition in number 8. This would require that the
GRFA for the project, if Millrace IV (8-dwelling unit plan) is
used, would be 290,945 square feet. If the Millrace IV 32-
accommodation plan is utilized, then the total project GRFA
would 293,745 square feet. He agreed with the staff amendment
to this condition which stated that the difference in GRFA of
176 square feet could be applied to the Westhaven property.
Jim felt that the bollard was a reasonable off-site improvement
given the magnitude of the project.
Jim felt the bridge connection on the Cornerstone project was
not a big concern. He felt that the bridge connection was
important to the architecture for the building. He stated that
the view up to the mountain is already very nice.
Kristan Pritz pointed out that the office could. go on the
second floor of the Cornerstone building and still be very
accessible to walk-in traffic. The location is adjacent to the
stairway down to the lift. She also pointed out that
fireplaces in Denver had been cited as a major contributor to
the air pollution problem. She also stated that it would be a
special privilege to allow Andy to have fireplaces in units
other than dwelling units. She also reiterated the need for
the bollard due to the size of the project and concern for
adequate emergency access.
5
Peggy Osterfoss stated that she felt that support of the office
was a good trade-off for requiring Andy to add the bollard.
Diana Donovan made a motion to approve the project per the
staff memo with the following amendments:
1. Condition #2 - The office space would be allowed to
be located in the Plaza Conference building.
2. Condition #4 - The 32-accommodation unit plan is
acceptable. The 8-dwelling unit plan is denied.
Square footage for the 8 dwelling unit is only
approved to be 11,200 square feet, the original
approved GRFA. She stated that Andy may submit a
plan before the project is presented to the Town
Council for staff approval. The plan is to allow for
adequate open space between Millrace IV and the
Westin. She felt that it was also acceptable to
allow the additional GRFA of 176 square feet to be
applied to the Westhaven property.
3. She moved that the concern over the bridge connection
in the Cornerstone building be removed from the
comments passed on to the Design Review Board.
The motion was seconded by Pam Hopkins. The motion passed
unanimously.
4. A work session on the request for a conditional use for an
addition to the hospital.
5. A work session on the Glen Lyon Office Building, including
the micro-brewery.

PEC NOVEMBER 28,1988
..
lab. The vote was 4-0 to uphold the staff decision.
3. A request to amend Special Development District 4, Area D
to allow a micro-brewery, office expansion, parking
structure and residential units
and
A request for a conditional use permit to allow a micro-
brewery on the Glen Lyon Office property.
Applicant: Glen Lyon Office Building, Inc.
Kristan Pritz summarized the requests per the very complete
staff memos concerning the project. Beginning with the request
for the amendment, she compared the proposed development to the
Arterial Business Zone District, stating that only in the areas
of height, setbacks and landscaping were there any deviations.
Kristan then reviewed the design criteria for Special
Development Districts, stating that the proposal provided for
significant upgrading of the existing development on the site,
it provided for a mix of uses, and served as a transition zone
between Lionshead and Cascade Village.
Parking and loading was explained and a report by TDA Colorado
concerning "Parking Demand Analysis and Parking Management
Plan" was discussed. Kristan then explained how the project
conformed to applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan, Town policies and the Urban Design Plans and went on to
discuss the applicable geological hazards.
The memo also dealt with the site planning, circulation system,
landscaping, and phasing of-the work on the project. The staff
recommendation was for approval of the amendment to Area D with
the stipulation that the owner agree in writing to the
following conditions which shall be recorded by the Town of
Vail Clerk at the Eagle County Assessor's Office within 30 days
after the Town Council's final approval of the SDD ordinance:
1. The owner shall agree to construct the bus shelter per
Town of Vail standards. The bus shelter will be
constructed subsequent to the issuance of a building
permit and prior to the issuance of a temporary
certificate of occupancy for either the brewery addition,
office expansion, east office building, or parking
structure.
2. The owner shall relocate the bike path and provide a bike
path easement across the Glen Lyon property and CDOH
property. The bike path shall be constructed per Town of
Vail standards. The bike path shall be constructed
subsequent to the issuance of a building permit and prior
to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy
for either ;;the brewery addition, office expansion, east
office building, or parking structure. Such temporary
certificate of occupancy shall be conditional upon
construction of the bike path provided for herein.
3. The owner shall provide an employee housing agreement for
the two employee housing units in the east office
building. This agreement shall be provided to the Town of
Vail before a temporary certificate of occupancy is
released for the two employee housing units or the free
market dwelling unit. The agreement shall include the
same provisions as outlined in the employee housing
agreement for Area A.
4. The parking and access to the property shall be managed
per the TDA Parking Report, p. 6-7, August 10, 1988 by the
owner of the property.
5. The owner shall underground the electrical utilities along
the north side of the Glen Lyon property from the
northwest corner of the property to the northeast corner
of the property. This utility work shall be constructed
subsequent to the issuance of a building permit and prior
to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy
for the brewery addition, office expansion, east office
building or parking structure. The undergrounding of the
utilities is contingent upon Holy Cross approving the
work.
6. The 20 foot utility easement on the western portion of the
property shall be relocated as well as approved by the
Town of Vail before a building permit is released for the
micro-brewery addition.
7. The owner of the Glen Lyon Office property shall not file
any remonstrance or protest against the formation of a
local improvement district or other financing mechanism
approved by the Vail Town Council which may be established
for the purpose of building road improvements to the South
Frontage Road.
8. The owner shall provide a fire hydrant per Town of Vail
Fire Department requirements on the northwest portion of
the property. The fire hydrant shall be provided
subsequent to the issuance of a building permit and prior
to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy
for either the brewery addition, office expansion, east
office building, or parking structure.
The staff also recommended that the Design Review Board look at
the following issues related to this project:
1. Pedestrian access from the east side of the structure to
the east office building should be required.
2. The pedestrian path from the parking structure to the
brewery entry should be located on Glen Lyon property.
3. One additional loading space should be provided for the
main office building in the parking structure.
4. Substantial landscaping should be planted adjacent to the
north and south sides of the parking structure.
Kristan then explained the request for the conditional use
permit for the micro-brewery. Statements were read from the
applicant's proposal describing the micro-brewery operations,
including the fact that there would not be any tractor/trailers
permitted at the brewery. Kristan then reviewed criteria and
findings for a conditional use permit as well as the
environmental impact report. She also presented a letter to
the board from CDOH concerning the South Frontage Road and
traffic impacts.
The staff recommended approval with the following conditions:
1. The owner shall provide a man-hole on the brewery service
line to that the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated
Sanitation District may monitor BOD strength.
2. The brewery management shall not operate the brewing
process during temperature inversions. It shall be the
brewmaster's responsibility to monitor inversions.
3. The trash compactor and trash storage area shall be
completely enclosed. The management of the brewery shall
not allow any trash to be stored in an unenclosed area.
4. The owner of the property and brewery management shall
agree in writing that semi-truck traffic to the Glen Lyon
office site shall be prohibited. The only truck loading
that shall be allowed to the site for the brewery or any
other uses on the site will be vans having a maximum size
of 22'.
5. The owner of the Glen Lyon Office property shall not file
any remonstrance or protest against the formation of a
local improvement district or other financing mechanism
which .may be established for the purpose of building road
improvements to the South Frontage Road.
6. The owner shall utilize protective measures during
construction to prevent soil erosion into Gore Creek.
Andy Norris, representing the applicant, stated that he felt an
improvement to the South Frontage Road should be a joint effort
including the applicant, CDOH, the Town of Vail and the other
adjacent property owners. Peter Jamar, author of the EIR was
also present. Peter Patten stated Andy that to not remonstrate
as written in condition number 5 meant basically to agree to
pay his share.
Peggy asked where people would walk from the bus stop and Andy
said the applicant would construct a path to connect the bus
shelter to the brewery along the South Frontage Road. Peggy
wondered who would know when there would be an inversion, and
was told that it was the respsonsibility of the brewmaster to
not brew during an inversion. Andy stated that this was water
vapor, not pollution, and that the reason for not brewing
during inversions was merely because of the odor created.
Kristan stated that the brewmaster should set up a meeting with
the Environmental Health Officer to discuss the inversion
issue. She emphasized that it is ultimately the brewery's
responsibility to not brew during inversions. Andy stated that
the brewery could remove the odor by using device on the water
vapor stack.
Peggy felt that it was important to have as much landscaping as
possible along the parking structure. Bryan felt that Peggy
had covered all the important points. Jim Viele refrained from
commenting due to a conflict of interest.
Peggy moved to recommend to Town Council approval of the
requested amendment per the staff approval and with an added
item for the DRB that there must be substantial landscaping
along the parking structure. Bryan seconded the motion and
the vote was 3 in favor, none against, with Jim abstaining.
Peggy then moved to approve the conditional use request to
allow the micro-brewery per the staff memo with an added
condition #6 that states: The owner shall utilize protective
measures during construction to prevent soil erosion into Gore
Creek. Bryan seconded the motion and the vote was 3 in favor,
none against, with Jim abstaining.
Item 4, Vail Valley Medical Center was withdrawn.
5. A request to amend the Ford Park Master Plan to add an
aquatic/tennis complex.
Applicants: Town of Vail and Vail Metropolitan
Recreation District.
Kristan Pritz described the proposed change to the Ford Park
Master Plan. It concerned the northeast area of Ford Park
which presently was to be developed for an aquatic facility
with associated parking. All three softball fields would
remain on the park. The tennis courts would be removed to
allow for the pool and be relocated at Golden Peak.
With the changes at Golden Peak, the VMRD board wished to
relocate as many of their courts on public land as possible to
ensure that they would be available for the public in the
future. Two phases were proposed. Phase One would allow for

SUMMARY
Vail Ventures, Inc. and Glen Lyon Office Building, a Colorado
' Partnership, propose to make amendments to the existing
provisions of Special Development District 4, Cascade Village.
' These amendments are intended to provide a proper balance of land
uses as well as to provide first class accommodation units,
dwelling units, special attractions, facilities, and services for
the Vail guest. Proposed future development will consist of
' condominiums, lodge rooms, skier support services, commercial,
retail and office space, entertainment and/or educational and
cultural facilities, and a Micro-Brewery.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
' The proposed amendments will not have a negative impact upon the
physical condition of the site in terms of geologic conditions,
hydrologic conditions, noise impacts, biotic conditions, or
visual conditions.
The proposed amendments will result -in the potential for
additional air pollution in the Gore Valley due to the addition
of wood burning fireplaces in excess of the number currently
allowed;
~~~ The increased demands for water and sewer service as a result of
the amendments can be easily accommodated by Upper Eagle .Valley
Water and Sanitation District;
' The traffic and circulation demands of the development can be met
by the recently constructed roadway and intersection improvements;-
, Parking demands generated by the development can be provided for;
The proposal helps to implement and is consistent with various
' Town of Vail Goals and Policies as identified by the Vail Land
Use Plan, Community Action Plan, and Report of the Economic
Development Commission.

SECTION ONE - THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Special Development District 4 was established in 1977 and since
that time has been evolving into a high quality mixed use resort
development consisting of residential, recreational, educational,
and commercial land uses and activities. SDD4 is divided into
four "development areas":
Development Area Area Known As
A Cascade Village
B Coldstream Condominiums
C Glen Lyon Duplex Lots
D Glen Lyon Office Building
Area A, the core of the Special Development District, is the site
of the Westin Hotel, Colorado Mountain College, Millrace
Condominiums, the Cascade Club and Parking Structure, and the
newly constructed Cascade Village Chairlift. These existing
projects are identified upon Figure 2.
Currently under construction in Area A, as indicated upon Figure
3, are the Westin Hotel's Terrace Wing and the Conference Center.
Future development areas within Area A are generally depicted
upon Figure 4. Figure 5 indicates Development. Area. A at
completion.
_ Area D is the site of the existing Glen Lyon Office Building,
-, (See Figure 6).
The main focus of this report is to present information regarding
the proposal for future development within Development Areas A
and D of SDD4 as they relate to previous development approvals
for SDD4, to review potential impacts resulting from the changes
proposed, .and to discuss actions that. can be taken to minimize
any adverse impacts.
The report is divided into three parts:
Section One - The Master Plan - Describes the proposed Develop-
ment Plan and amendments to the Special Development District.
Section Two - Impacts,1Mitigation - Contains estimates of probable
impacts resulting from the proposal and summarizes actions that
can be taken to minimize any adverse effects resulting from the
proposed development revisions.
Section Three - Appendices - Provides supplementary information.

' Vail Ventures, Ltd. pro oses to amend SDD4 to allow several
P
adjustments to the remaining development sites within Development
Areas A and Glen Lyon Office Building, a Colorado Partnership
proposes to amend Development Area D of Cascade Village. These
adjustments are being requested due to changes of conditions
' resulting from the construction of the Cascade Chairlift, the
completion of the Westin Hotel and the changing markets for
resort real estate and guest services; all of which have affected
the overall Master Plan for Cascade Village.
AREA A•
The remaining five development sites within Development Area A
are indicated upon Figure 4, Future Development, and are as
follows:
1. Cornerstone Building - located between Westhaven Drive
and the Terrace Wing, previously referred to as the
Plaza Building and Building "C".
2. Waterford Village - located on the east end of the site
and previously called Mansfield Village.
3. Westhaven Condominiums - also referred to as "Club
Condominiums" and located on Westhaven Drive
~ immediately west of the Cascade Club.
~ 4. Millrace Condominiums Phase III -located on the west
end of the site between Gore Creek and Westhaven Drive.
S. Millrace Condominiums Phase IV -located along Gore
Creek between the Westin and Millrace Phase I.
The request to amend Area A of SDD4 consists of alternative
development programs for three of the five remaining project
sites.
Selected alternatives would be constructed over time as market
conditions dictate. Table 1 reflects the completed projects
' within Development Area A to date. Table 2 contains information
regarding the previously approved overall development as
contained within Area A of SDD4.
' A summary of the alternatives proposed for each of the remaining
five development sites within Area A, listed by site, are as
follows.

U
~I~
Cornerstone Buildingx (See Figure 7)
The development program for the Cornerstone Building
consists of two alternatives:
' Plan "A": Plan A, which is referred to as the "Base Plan"
for the Cornerstone Building consists of the following uses
and corresponding square footage calculations:
' ~E SQUARE FOOTAGE
Restaurant 3,000
Accessory Skiing 9,330
50 "Transient Residential" Units 28,110
Office 4,850
Retail 13,250
Hotel Restaurant/Bar 2,465
' Plan "B": Plan B, which we will refer to as the
"Conditional Use Plan" for the Cornerstone Building,
consists of the following uses and corresponding square
footages. The major difference between the "Base Plan" and
the "Conditional Use Plan" is that, under this alternative
' development scenario, less retail use would be constructed
and a special attraction would be included. The special
attraction proposed is intended to be a use that would be
' reviewed as a conditional use and is intended to be
complimentary to Cascade Village in all respects and
primarily a use that will be compatible with a major
' conference and meeting oriented hotel. Uses that have been
included as conditional uses are various types of
educational, cultural, and entertainment facilities.

Density and parking for a T.R. is calculated in the same manner
as an accommodation unit. (See Figure 8 for a typical floor
plan).
Currently the Town of Vail Zoning Code counts an accommodation
unit as one-half of a a dwelling unit for the purposes of
calculating allowable units per acre. An accommodation unit is
defined as a room or group of rooms without kitchen facilities
and designed for occupancy by guests.
The proposal contained within the SDD4 modification is to treat
Transient Residential units the same as accommodation units for
the purpose of calculation of allowable units per acre. The 25
square foot kitchenette is proposed to meet the convenience needs
of the typical guest now coming to Vail but not to provide
full-scale kitchen facilities.
In addition, it is proposed that fractionalized ownership be
allowed on dwelling units within the Westhaven Building as a
conditional use.
Waterford Building (See Figure 9)
The Waterford Building is proposed to consist of
approximately 3,800 square feet of retail space and either
30 residential dwelling units or 75 transient residential
units. The Gross Residential Floor Area for either scenario
would total approximately 47,500 square feet.
Westhaven Condominiums
The Westhaven Condominiums are proposed, to consist of 24
residential dwelling units totalling approximately 24,000
square feet of GRFA.
Millrace III
Phase III of Millrace Condominiums is proposed to consist of
3 residential dwelling units totalling approximately 6,000
square feet of GRFA.
Millrace IV (See Figures 10 and 11)
Two alternatives are contemplated for the Millrace Phase IV
Site. The first alternative would be to construct a total
12
of 8 residential dwelling units totalling 14,000 square feet
of GRFA (Figure 10). The second alternative would be to
construct an addition to the Westin comprised of 32
additional accommodation units also totalling approximately
14,000 square feet of GRFA. (Figure 11).
Addition to Cascade Club
• It is also anticipated that an addition will be constructed
onto the east end of the existing Cascade Club Facility.
This addition might consist of an indoor lap pool, miniature
gymnasium, or wellness facility.
A. RESIDENTIAL ALTERNATIVES
As a result of the various scenarious presented above for each
individual development site, there are four basic alternatives
that could result for residential units:

TOTAL
' Special Development District 4 allows a total maximum density of
288 dwelling units with a minimum of 308 accommodation units and a
; maximum of 134 dwelling-units within Area A. Currently, 38
, dwelling units-exist and 288 accommodation units exist, which is
the equivalent of 182 dwelling units (2 au = 1 du).
' Under each alternative, the total dwelling unit equivalent is
less than the remaining equivalent of 106 dwelling units allowed.
Alternative 1: 8.0 units less than total allowed
' Alternative 2: .5 units less than total allowed
Alternative 3: 16.0 units less than total allowed
Alternative 4: 8.5 units less than total allowed
'
All three alternatives meet the minimum requirement of 308
accommodation units as long as transient residential units are
counted as accommodation units. All of the three proposals are
2624 square feet over the allowable GRFA excluding the GRFA for
employee housing.
14
'
NUMBER OF AU'S OR TR PROPOSED PLUS EXISTING AU
Alternative 1: 370 over required minimum by 62 AU/TRS
Alternative 2: 445 over required minimum by 137 AU/TRS
Alternative 3: 338 over required minimum by 30 AU/TRS
Alternative 4: 413 over required minimum by 105 AU/TRS
In summary, the proposal does not exceed the allowable density
and actually provides more AU's than are required in the existing
SDD. All of the alternatives are 2,624 s.f. over the allowable
GRFA. Employee units have not been included in these
calculations. At the request of the Town of Vail, the developer
has agreed to provide a minimum of ten employee dwelling units
' having a minimum of 640 square feet per unit. These units will
be provided either within development area A or D.
' Also proposed is the ability to allow fractional ownership as a
conditional use for dwelling units within the Westhaven Building.
B. COMMERCIAL ALTERNATIVES
Within Development Area A, two of the five remaining development
' sites will contain commercial development: The Cornerstone
Building and the Waterford Building.
The Waterford Building will contain approximately 3800 square
feet of retail space. Cornerstone has two scenarios for
commercial development. Plan A includes space for restaurant
' use, office use, retail use and skier accessory related space
such as ticket offices, skier related retail, changing
facilities, locker rooms and other ski-related facilities. Plan
' A plus the existing commercial development.
is equal to 56,538 square -feet. Plan
included in Plan A, but substitutes retail
"special attraction" as a conditional use.
' defined as a museum, seminar or research
arts theatre or other similar cultural cen~
in Development Area A
B includes the uses

Special attraction is
center, or performing
ter.
Both alternative plans for the Cornerstone allow for an increase
to the total amount of commercial space within Development Area A
of 16,513 square feet to 19,538 square feet. This increase is
primarily due to the introduction of the Cascade Ski Lift and the
related accessory uses and the contemplation of providing other
special attractions. for the visitor.

COMPARISON OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
DEVELOPMENT - AREA A
The future development for Development Area A currently
contemplated varies from the development previously envisioned
and, therefore, the standards outlined within SDD4.
A comparison of Table 1, Completed Projects, and Table 2,
Approved Development Standards, indicates the amount of remaining
development upon the site which is approved but unbuilt within
the current SDD:

AREA D:
' Development Area D, which is the site of the Glen Lyon Office
Building, is proposed to be redeveloped in a manner which results
in the expansion and redesign of the existing office space, as
well as the construction of a new guest-oriented Micro-Brewery
' and the addition of a new detached office and residential
building at the east end of the site (see Figure 12, Area D
Master Plan and Figure 13, East Building and Condominium). A

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS
Natural Features
of Vail requirements regarding potential
proposed projects, the following section
may occur as a result of the proposed
the overall Development Plan for areas A
discussed are the relationships of the
of Vail plans, goals, and policies.
The proposed incremental changes to SDD4 as proposed will have
very little impact upon the natural hydrologic. conditions upon
the site. The overall surface drainage collection system has
been designed to collect storm water runoff at various roof and
surface locations and is designed to contain the runoff. The
Waterford site and the Cornerstone site will-collect the majority
of storm water within a roof collection system which feeds an
underground collection system which ultimately exits at Gore
Creek. The total amount of the site covered by buildings in Area
A will be approximately 31$. The SDD currently allows a total
site coverage of 45$.
' Drainage of the parking garages will be designed. in a manner
which will collect all silt and oil discharges that might occur.
' Gore Creek, the major natural water feature within the Cascade
Village site, will continue to remain in _its natural state and
will remain undisturbed by the development. Due to the proximity
of Development Area D to Gore Creek, extra precaution should be
taken during construction in order to prevent soil erosion into
the creek.
Man-Made Features
A man-made water feature consisting of a series of fountains and
pools has always been an element of the overall Master Plan for
the Core Area of Cascade Village and a portion of the system has
been in place for approximately four years. The self-contained
system is powered by two 350 gallon per minute pumps and utilizes
domestic water initially that is augmented by a natural spring
which exists upon the Millrace portion of the site. An overflow
storm drain for extreme conditions exists into Gore Creek should
the system exceed its capacity.
34
1
Water and Sewer
The revisions to the Master Plan will result in increased demands
upon the water supply and for sewage treatment capacity, both of
which have been reviewed by the Upper Eagle Valley Water and
Sanitation District. and determined to be acceptable to the
' District.
The increased water demand is a result of the increased increment
of commercial square footage and, most significantly, the Micro
Brewery.
The Micro-Brewery is proposed to produce a maximum of 7,500
' barrels of beer per year. Each barrel is 31 gallons. Water
needed for the brewing process is estimated to be 6 gallons of
water for every gallon of beer produced.
Total water required for maximum production per year would be
1,395,000 gallons, or approximately 4.298 acre feet. Of the
1,395,000 gallons, 232,500 gallons would be consumed as product
and the remaining 1,162,500 gallons would be returned to the
stream through the sanitary sewer system, or in very small.
quantities, be discharged into the atmosphere in the form of
water vapor. Actual consumptive use at maximum production per
year will be 232,500 gallons.
It is estimated that the brewing process will occur twice. per
' day, three days per week, 50 weeks. per year. Dividing this
number of brew processes into the maximum yearly water demand
yields a requirement of 116,250 gallons per month. The Vail
' Valley Consolidated Water District has indicated that they are
willing and able to supply the amount of water required through a
1 1/2 inch tap from their domestic water distribution system.
The quality of the water in the domestic supply is consistent
with that needed to produce a good beer through the micro-brewing
process. The Colorado Department of Health requires that
chlorine be added to public water supplies for disinfection and
that a residual amount be measurable at the tap of an end user.
This chlorine residual must be removed prior to water entering
' into the brewing process.
Removal of chlorine is a very simple process and can be
' accomplished by filtering through charcoal. Ozonation may be
desirable after filtration just to add a little more "sparkle"
to the water and further reduce the taste and color.
At the end of the brewing process, there are basically two waste
products which need to be disposed. One is a solid product
u
35
' consisting primarily of spent grains. These solids are strained
or filtered off and dewatered by equipment contained within the
brewery. They are collected in a hopper and routinely trucked
' out and sold for a beneficial use such as cattle feed.
The second waste product is water. It is proposed that the
1,162,500 gallons per year, or 96,875 gallons per month will be
' required to be treated by the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated
Sanitation District. The District has indicated they are willing
and able to serve through a tap into their central collection•
' system at the brewery.
One concern is that large volumes of wastewater not be discharged
' during short periods of time, especially during peaks.
Considering again that the brewing process will occur twice -per
day, three days per week, 50 weeks per year, 3,785 gallons of
' wastewater will be released during and after each brewing
process. The release is not immediate. Eighty percent of that
water is used for clean up and is released throughout the brewing
process which takes approximately four hours. The remaining
' twenty percent comes from the draining of the brewing equipment
itself in approximately ninety .minutes. Clean up water would
then enter the sewage system at the rate of 12.92 gallons per
' minute and wastewater would enter at the rate of 8.61 gallons per
minute. Both discharges occurring simultaneously would amount to
21.5 gallons per minute, a rate that can be easily absorbed by
the District at any time of day.
' The second concern is the Biological Oxygen Demand, or BOD, of
the wastewater. BOD is a measurement of the strength of the
wastewater and, therefore, a measurement of the magnitude of the
treatment required prior to releasing back into the stream. In
the-Vail area, 250 milligrams per liter of BOD is considered
' average strength. Effluent from a micro brewery is normally less
than 250 milligrams per liter and needs no pre-treatment or
additional treatment by the District.
' In areas where sewage treatment districts are affected by
industrial waste dischargers, a monitoring program is normally
set up. On a routine but unannounced basis, the district will
' sample the discharger and if the measured BOD is above a
pre-agreed threshold, a surcharge for excess treatment will be
assessed until further sampling shows BOD has dropped back below
' the threshold. Even though micro breweries discharge less than
250 mgl of BOD, they are normally classified as an industrial
discharger by most districts and are subject to a monitoring
program. The Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation District
' may want to require a manhole on the brewery sewer service line
so that they can sample BOD.
' 36
1
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
Atmospheric conditions will be impacted as a result of the
' incremental changes proposed due to increased fireplace emissions
and the Micro-Brewery operation.
The current SDD allows that a maximum of 134 fireplaces can be
constructed within the development, but in dwelling units only.
38 dwelling units have been constructed within Cascade Village,
all with fireplaces. Therefore 96 additional fireplaces are
permitted to be constructed within remaining dwelling units.
The developer is proposing that both residential and transient
' residential units be permitted to have one wood burning fireplace
each. Under all three development alternatives this would result
in additional fireplaces within Cascade Village and an increase
' in the existing air pollution problem within Vail during periods
of inversion at peak times of usage.
According to the information provided by the developer and Town
' of Vail Community Development Department, the following
assumptions can be made regarding anticipated fireplace
emissions:
' - The average use of a fireplace is 3.5 hours, when used.
- Approximately 16.5 pounds of wood will be burned per
' ~ hour, per fireplace.
- Approximately 50$ of fireplaces would be in use at any
' one time.
- 100$ of the new units constructed will have wood
' burning fireplaces.
- Emissions factors per ton of wood burned are estimated
to be:
'
1) 37.79 lbs. of available particulate matter
2) 146.6 lbs. of carbon monoxide gases
3) 1 lb. of Nitrogen Oxides
' 4) 5 lbs. of Hydrocarbons
' 37
' Table No. 4 summarizes the estimated emissions attributable to
the increased increment of fireplaces proposed as a result of
each of the three alternatives. Fireplace emissions will
' increase as a result of the proposal and will, during times of
peak use contribute to air pollution with the Gore Valley.

There has not been much research done in the Vail Valley
regarding wind and weather patterns. There is, however,
information available at the Eagle County Airport and at Patrol
Headquarters (PHQ) on top of Vail Mountain that can be
extrapolated to generally describe wind patterns at the Vail
Brewery site. The City of Aspen has also done extensive study on
their inversion characteristics of which may also be useful for
studying the expected emissions from the Micro-Brewery.
In comparing the data available at the airport and at PHQ, it
' would be consistent to say that winds are calm for approximately
45 percent of the time. These are surface winds with measured
velocities ranging from 0 to 4 miles per hour. For approximately
' 30 percent of the time, wind velocities measure from 4 to 15
miles per hour and are fairly evenly divided from an easterly or
a westerly direction. Wind gusts ranging up to 30 miles per hour
or above from almost any direction can be experienced throughout
the remainder of the year.
For the Vail Brewery site, the assumption can be made that
' surface winds are normally calm with light currents moving up or
down the valley in an easterly or westerly direction. Moderate
winds of up to 15 miles per hour could also be predicted to flow
up or down the valley with the predominance being from the west.
Emissions from the Brewery stack would be carried out of Cascade
Village up the forested hillside to the East or out across the
' Interstate 70 corridor to the west.
During the winter months•temperature inversions may occur in the
Vail Valley. The best information indicates that a strong
inversion that sets up well and continues through the night could
occur from 6 to 12 times per year.
' Again, there have been no specific studies done in Vail relating
to duration or strength. The Aspen studies indicate that an
inversion will start to build as soon as sunlight clears the
' valley floor. The inversion builds rather rapidly. With no
measurable winds, the•flow of air out of the Vail Valley •would
be down in a westerly direction.
' To be more specific, an inversion, if it is going to occur, would
begin to build around 3:30 in the afternoon and be fully
developed in approximately two hours. It would continue through
the night, start to clear out around 8:00 in the morning and
would be totally dissipated in approximately one and one half
hours:
' 39
1
In discussion with various agencies in Boulder where a micro
brewery exists, there have never been complaints registered
regarding stack emissions. Odors are similar to those of baking
bread because of the yeast and are very weak. With a boiler
stack designed as an archite ctural e lement of the building at a
height of surrounding ridge lines and care not to begin a brewing
' process during an identified temperature inversion, emissions
from the brewery should go undetected.
' GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
No impacts are expected to result from the proposed amendments
' with regard to land forms, slope and soil characteristics, or
potential geologic hazards.
BIOTIC CONDITIONS
No impacts are expected to result from the proposed amendments
' with regard to vegetative characteristics of the site or wildlife
habitat.
NOISE IMPACTS
Noise associated with the proposed Master Plan revisions can be
expected to be those associated with the Micro-Brewery operation.
The major sources of noise are anticipated to be the bottling
phase of operations and the process of loading and delivery of
kegs, .bottles, and other brewery supplies as well as the pick-up
of the solid waste which results as a by-product of the brewing
process.
t The bottling operation, as indicated in the Lower Level Floor
Plan for the Micro-Brewery, Figure 14, is proposed to be totally
enclosed and, therefore, will not produce noise external to the
' building.
Loading and delivery to the brewing facility has been very
carefully designed and planned to be totally functional and also
to minimize impacts upon the Frontage Road. As indicated upon
the Upper Level Floor Plan for the Micro-Brewery, Figure 16, the
loading dock area is within the envelope of the building and has
large operable sound proof doors which will be closed before,
during, and after loading operations to eliminate any potential
noise problems resulting from either delivery of supplies or
pick-up of product and solid waste.
' 40
' VISUAL CONDITIONS
The proposed amendments will not result in any significant
' changes of the visual conditions anticipated for the site upon
full project completion. As initially planned, the architectural
character of the site is being comprehensively formulated in
order to achieve a compatible and complimentary relationship
among the individual buildings within the overall development.
While some minor variations exist in building heights proposed
from those currently permitted by the Special Development
District Regulations, the impact of the changes is very minor and
does not result in any negative impacts upon adjacent properties.
' The redevelopment of the Glen Lyon Office Building will
significantly upgrade the architectural character of the site and
will integrate the overall theme and character of the entire
' Cascade Village to include Area D. As can be seen in Figure 17,
Entry Perspective, the architectural and landscape treatment of
the site upon completion will provide a very pleasing visual
experience and will be constructed to a very high level of
quality.
-SDD4 is not located within any designated view corridor of the
' Town of Vail.
LAND USE CONDITIONS
' The proposed adjustment to the amount of commercial square
footage within SDD4 is compatible with the other proposed uses
within the immediate area and Vail's Land Use Plan.
' Vail Land Use Plan:
The proposed amendments to SDD4 are consistent with many of the
goals of the Vail Land Use Plan. Generally, the proposed special
attraction use and ski related accessory commercial uses
accomplish the overall goals of strengthening the balance of uses
within the community, improving and increasing base skier
' facilities to keep pace with mountain expansion and improving and
enhancing year-round tourism. Specifically, the proposal meets
the following goals of the Land Use Plan:

1. General Growth Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled
environment, maintaining a balance between residential,
commercial and recreational uses to serve both the
visitor and the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and
other natural resources should be protected as the Town
grows.
1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and
upgraded whenever possible.
1.12 Vail Should accommodate most of the additional growth
in existing developed areas (infill areas).
2. SkierfTourist Concerns
2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a
destination resort while accommodating day visitors.
2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town
leaders shouid work together closely to make existing
facilities and the Town function more efficiently.
2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town
leaders should work together to improve facilities for
day skiers.
2.4 The community should improve summer recreational and
cultural opportunities to encourage summer tourism.
2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational
options to improve year-round tourism.
3. Commercial
^ 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing
commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor
' needs.
3.5 Entertainment oriented businesses and cultural
activities should be encouraged in the core areas to
create diversity. More night time businesses, on-going
events and sanctioned "street happenings" should be
encouraged.

CIRCULATION AND TRANSPORTATION
Traffic
Traffic volumes and traffic flow patterns for Cascade Village
have been analyzed and identified and as a result of the analysis
it has been determined that a modified design is desirable for
the South Frontage Road/Westhaven Drive intersection in order to
maintain an acceptable level of service at that intersection.
The modified intersection design involves the installation of
' channelization to provide a separate left turn lane for westbound
traffic on the South Frontage. Road. It also includes an
acceleration lane for vehicles turning left from Westhaven Drive
onto the South Frontage Road. Coupled with the intersection
modifications the travel speed for the South Frontage Road has
been recommended to be reduced to 35 miles per hour from 45 miles
' per hour.
The recommended intersection modifications and reduced speed
limit have been reviewed and approved by both the Town of Vail
and State Highway Department and construction of the improvements
is almost complete.. In addition to this improvement, the access
. to .Development Area D is proposed to move east .upon the site in a
location exactly opposite to the Vail Professional Building
access. This has been viewed with a favorable reaction by the
State Highway Department due. to the positive aspect of
consolidating this access point. A drop off and loading and
1 delivery bay will be located upon the western portion of the site
and the distance between these two points of access for Area D
.exceeds State Highway Department minimum spacing standards.
Transit Service Needs
The installation of a transit facility has been included within
the revised Master Plan for Cascade Village due to the current
demands and those that will be generated by the development, most
specifically the new Cascade Chairlift.
The proposed transit facility, which has been reviewed and
approved by the Town of Vail Public Works Department, is
currently under construction. The facility is located south of
the South Frontage Road on Westhaven Drive and is designed as a
circular driveway with three separate loading/unloading areas to
I serve buses making stops at Cascade Village. The Town of Vail
bus and Beaver. Creek bus will each have their own designated
stops, while the shuttle buses from nearby hotels and
condominiums, which comprise the secondary demand, will share the
' use of two smaller bus stops. The daily arrival and departure
44
schedules of the shuttle buses utilizing the transit facility
will be assigned in order to provide coordinated transit service.
Control of all vehicular access to the transit facility may be
coordinated by a traffic attendant during peak periods to
regulate the waiting times of both the shuttle buses and
automobiles if necessary. Access to the stop serving the Town of
Vail bus will be controlled by electronic gates.
Loading and Delivery
Loading and delivery aspects of the development will be affected
by-the additional commercial uses proposed with the additional
uses resulting in increased loading and delivery activity upon
the site.
The proposed Micro-Brewery will provide the greatest need for
increased loading and delivery and, as described previously, this
activity will be accommodated within an enclosed loading area
within the building and accessed from the Frontage Road.
Delivery to the Micro-Brewery operation will consist of the raw
materials required in the brewing process, delivery of bottles
and kegs, and removal of solid waste produced as a by-product of
the brewing process.
Raw materials required during the brewing process consist of
malted barley, hops and yeast. It is estimated that based upon
brewing 7,500 barrels per year the amount of malted barley
required will be 240,000 lbs. annually. This will be delivered
' in bulk to a location off site and then delivered onto the site
via a small vehicle, most likely a pick-up truck, upon each
brewing day, packaged in 100 pound bags, 5 - 6 times per year.
' Hops, in 50 pound bags, are delivered three times per year and
put into dry storage within the building. It is estimated that
7,500 lbs. of hops will be required per year (1 lbs. of hops per
barrel of beer). The amount of yeast required is very small and
' is delivered once per year.
The beer will be bottled at the brewery and it is estimated that
between 10,000 to 15,000 cases will be bottled per year. Bottle
storage will be off site in a location outside of Vail and a
weekly supply of empty bottles will be delivered to the site once
per month in a 22' brewery vehicle. Both keg and bottle delivery
to the Front Range Markets are anticipated to be made by regional
distributors already in the area making other types of deliveries
and it is anticipated that they would stop at a location off site
to make pick-ups and deliveries. Distribution to Eagle County
45
i
locations would occur also from an off site location. No tractor-
trailer size vehicles will be allowed to pickup or deliver on
site.
During the brewing process, the malted barley is crushed between
steel rollers and steeped in hot water for several hours in a
process called mashing. After mashing, the spent grain is
' discarded and the remaining liquid, called the wort is boiled.
Hops are then added and after boiling, the wort is cooled and the
yeast added to begin fermentation. When the fermentation is
over, the beer is filtered through a filtering system to "clear"
the beer and remove the yeast.
' The amount of waste produced during the final filtering process
is minimal and can be discarded into the normal trash removal.
The spent grain, however, amounts to a significant amount of
waste and will be removed from the site each brewing day which is
approximately three times per week. Each brew produces
approximately 100 cubic feet of waste. Two brews on a brewing
day will require a 7 yard capacity to remove the waste, which is
sold to ranchers for feed. This is anticipated to be
accommodated by a brewery owned trailer the size of a small dump
truck.
Loading and delivery to the Cornerstone Building will be via- an
enclosed loading dock and off of Westhaven Drive.
Parkins
Parking for Development Area A of SDD4 will be provided for in a
variety of locations, both on site for the totally residential
elements of the project and in the large common structures for
others. Westhaven Condominiums, and Millrace Condominiums Phases
' III and IV are proposed to provide on site parking equivalent to
two spaces per unit. The only exception would be the alternative
which has Millrace Phase III as an additional 32 accommodation
units added to the Westin. In this plan the required 26 spaces
for this site would be accommodated within the Cascade Parking
Structure.
In addition to the existing Cascade Parking Structure which
contains 421 spaces another parking structure containing at least
144 spaces will be constructed upon the Waterford Site. This
will bring the total number of structured spaces within
Development Area A to to at least 565 spaces. These structures
are intended to provide the parking needs of the Westin, CMC
Building, Conference Center, Cascade Club, Cornerstone Building
~ ~~

and Waterford. The existing projects require a total demand of
412 spaces, in cluding 125 spaces that are provided for the
general public in accordance with an agreement with the U.S.
Forest Service
total includes relating to the Cascade Ski Lift. This
9 spaces provided for Meeting Room 2J co 412 space
nverted to
commercial use. Therefore at least 153 spaces will exist to
_ accommodate the proposed alternative development plans.
^ The developer has proposed that a shared use credit of 17.5$ be
applied to the total parking requirement for these uses due to
the overlap of parking needs within a mixed use development of
this type. Recent studies by the Urban Land Institute address
the issue of shared parking in mixed use developments. Findings
show that individual land use parking requirements .are not.
additive for this type of development and common sense would
indicate that it is unlikely that 100$ of the people parking.
within the project would be utilizing only one use within the
project.
When calculating parking demand it is helpful to review the
development using a "worst - case" scenario. Alternative 2
' contains the combination of uses which has the greatest
structured parking demand due to the number of AU/TR's. As
indicated in Table 4, the total structured parking required would
equal 649 spaces. This would mean that an additional 84 spaces
would have to be provided if th is alternative constructed.
1 The developer has indicated that the necessary parking supply
will be provided on site and will meet projected parking demand.
Depending upon which development scenario is finally selected
either additional parking will be provided or square footages
adjusted to accommodate the parking demand in accordance with the
above calculations.
Parking demand has been analyzed for Development Area D (see
Appendix for full report) and requirements for the proposed uses
are shown in Table 6. The calculations show that the parking
' requirement for Area D is 108 spaces per the Town of Vail Zoning
Regulations. The study prepared indicates that a supply of 92
spaces would be adequate for meeting peak demand created by the
uses proposed for the site. It is intended that. 108 spaces be
provided to meet these projected parking demands for Area D.
The SDD currently requires that on site parking be provided for
common carriers providing charter service to the development.
Due to a number of different factors such as noise, odor, and the
generally incompatible use, the developer is proposing that this
provision be eliminated. The design of the Transit Mall allows
47
u
buses to drop off passengers at that location and then proceed to
the charter bus parking at the Lionshead Parking Structure. The
bus would then return for passenger pick-up at the Transit Mall
location. It is felt that it would be best to confine the bus
parking to an already established area that can readily
accommodate charter buses than to create a new area for this use
when the Transit Mall allows for very convenient pick up and drop
1 off.

POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS:
The special attraction use skier related accessory commercial

employees:

Brewery Administration 6
Brewery Operation 3 - 5
Brew Pub, Banquet Facility 40
TOTAL 49 - 51
The skier related uses will also generate additional employees.
' The ticket office, ski school, and locker facilities are expected
to generate 10 - 20 employees during ski season and would most
likely vary throughout the day during ski season. The special
' .attraction use depending upon its ultimate use and layout might
be expected to generate anywhere from 5 to 6 additional
employees...
' Based upon these projections it appears that the. additional
employees required due to the proposed amendments could be
estimated to be between 64 and 77.
' The current SDD contains a provision that states "on a yearly
basis a contractual agreement between the employer and the
' developer showing evidence of employee housing that is
satisfactory to the Town of Vail shall be made available to the
Department of Community Development".
' Currently the Westin Hotel, the major employer with approximately
185 full time equivalent employees, has human resource personnel`
to assist their employees arrange for housing. There has. been no
problem housing employees and they do not foresee a problem with
housing the employees that will be added as a result of the
recent Terrace Wing Addition.
The developer has proposed that the provision stated above be
deleted from the SDD Ordinance and that the needs for employee
hbusing continue to be monitored and provided for by the private
' sector county-wide. The developer has indicated a willingness to

available for middle management employees within the immediate
area. Other employ

' RE: Proposed Vail Brewery Environmental Engineering Services
Dear Peter:
' In May 1988, RBD, Inc., prepared an Environmental Engineering
Report for the proposed Vail Brewery.. Part of that report. dealt with
water use and sewage discharge.
The report was based on a production of 5,000 barrels of beer per
year. The presentations being made to the various review agencies talk
about a 7,500 barrel per year production. This letter is to revise our
original report to reflect 7,500 barrels per year.
' Total water required for 7,500 barrels per year at 31 gallons per
barrel and 6 gallons of water per one gallon of beer is 1,395,000
gallons, or 4.28 acre feet. Of that, 232,500 would be consumed as
' product and the remaining 1,162,500 would return to the stream through
the sanitary-sewer system or, in very small quantities, be discharged
into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. Actual consumptive use
of maximum production per year will be 232,500 gallons of product or
' approximately 0.71 acre feet. It is estimated that the brewing process
will occur twice per day, three days per week, 50 weeks per year.
Dividing this number of brew processes into the maximum yearly water
' demand yields a requirement of 9,300 gallons of water needing to be
delivered on brewing days or 111,600 gallons per month.
' To put this in perspective, an average family of four, whose
per-capita-day consumption is between 100 and 150 gallons, uses 146,000
to 219,000 gallons per year. The brewery's actual maximum consumption
use would then be approximately one to one and one-half the average use
' of a family of four. The Vail Valley Consolidated Water District has
Other Offices: Fort Collins, Colorado 3031226-4955 • Colorado Springs, Colorado 719/5743504
re-emphasized their ability to supply this amount of water to the Vail
Brewery.
The proposal will return 1,162,500 gallons per year, or 96,875
gallons per month through the sanity sewer system. The Upper Eagle
Valley Consolidated Sanitation District has also re-emphasized their
ability to serve through a tap into their central collection and
treatment system.
One concern is that large volumes of wastewater not be discharged
during short periods of time, especially during peaks. Considering
again that the brewing process will occur twice per day, three days per
week, 50 weeks per year, 3,875 gallons of wastewater will be released
during and after each brewing process. The release is not immediate.
Eighty percent of that water is used for clean up and is released
throughout the brewing process which takes approximately four hours.
The remaining twenty percent comes from the draining of the brewing
equipment itself in approximately ninety minutes. Clean up water would
then enter the sewage system at the rate of 12.92 gallons per minute and
wastewater would enter at the rate of 8.61 gallons per minute. Both
discharges occurring simultaneously would amount to 21.53 gallons per
minute. To put the discharge figure in perspective, it is equivalent to
5 or 6 toilets flushing, a rate that can be easily absorbed by the
District at any time of day.
Should you need any additional information or clarification, please
contact me.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING REPORT
FOR THE
PROPOSED PAIL BREWERY
RBD, INC.
' The Micro-Brewery is proposed to produce a maximum of 5,000 barrels of beer
per year. One barrel is 31 gallons. Water needed for the brewing process
is estimated to be 6 gallons of water for every gallon of b eer produ ced.
Total water required for maximum production per year would be 930,000
gallons, or approximately 2.85 acre feet. Of the 930,000 gallons, 155,000
gallons would be consumed as product .and the remaining 775,000 gallons
would be returned to the stream through the sanitary sewer system or, in
very small quantities, be discharged into the atmosphere in the form of
water vapor. Actual consumptive use at maximum production per year will be
' 155,000 gallons of product or approximately 0.48 acre feet.
It is estimated that the brewing process will occur twice per day, three
days per week, 52 weeks per year. Dividing this number of brew processes
into the maximum yearly water demand yields a requirement of 5,962 gallons
of water needing to be delivered on brewing days or 77,506 gallons per
month. The Yail Valley Consolidated Water District has indicated that they
are willing and able to supply the amount of water required through a
1#-inch tap from their domestic water distribution system.
The quality of the water in the domestic supply is consistent with that
needed to produce a good- beer through the micro-brewing process. The
Colorado Department of Health requires that chlorine be added to public
water supplies for disinfection and that a residual amount be measurable at
the tap of an end user. This chlorine residual must be removed prior to
water entering into the brewing process..
Removal of chlorine is a very simple process and can be accomplished by
filtering through charcoal. Ozonation may be desirable after filtration
' just to add a little more "sparkle" to the water and further reduce the
taste and color.
At the end of the brewing process, there are basically two waste products
' of which need to be disposed. One is a solid product consisting primarily
of spent grains. These solids are strained or filtered off and dewatered
by equipment contained within the brewery. They are collected in a hopper
' and routinely trucked out in a vehicle the size of a pick-up and sold for a
beneficial use such as cattle feed.
The second waste product is water. It is proposed that the 775,000 gallons
per year, or 64,583 gallons per month will be required to be treated by the
Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation District. The District has
indicated they are willing and able to serve through a tap into their
central collection system at the brewery.
One concern is that large volumes of wastewater not be discharged during
short periods of time, especially during peaks. Considering again that the
brewing process will occur twice per day, three days per week, 52 weeks per
year, 2,484 gallons of wastewater will be released during and after each
brewing process. The release is not immediate. Eighty percent of that
water is used for clean up and is released throughout the brewing process
which takes approximately four hours. The remaining twenty percent comes
from the draining of the brewing equipment itself in approximately ninety
minutes. Clean up water would then enter the sewage system at the rate of
8.28 gallons per minute .and wastewater would enter at the rate of 5.52
gallons per minute. Both discharges occuring simultaneously would amount
to 13.8 gallons per minute, a rate that can be easily absorbed by the
District at any time of day..
The second concern is the Biological Oxygen Demand, or BOD, of the
wastewater. BOD is a measurement of the strength of -the wastewater and,
therefore, a measurement of the magnitude of the treatment required prior
to releasing back into the stream. In the Vail area, 250 milligrams per
liter of BOD is considered average strength. Effluent from a micro-brewery
is normally less than 250 milligrams per liter and needs no pre-treatment
or additinal treatment by the District.
In areas where sewage treatment districts are affected by industrial waste
' dischargers, a monitoring program is normally set up. On a routine but
unannounced basis, the district will sample the discharger and if the
measured BOD is above a preagreed threshold, a surcharge for excess
treatment will- be assessed until further sampling shows BOD has dropped
a back below the threshold . Even though micro-breweries discharge less than
250 mgl of BOD, they are normally classified as an industrial discharger by
most districts and are subject to a monitoring program. The Upper -Eagle
Valley Consolidated Sanitation District may want to require a manhole on
the brewery sewer service line so that they can sample 80D.
There has not been much work done in the Vail Valley regarding wind and
weather patterns. There is, however, information available at the Eagle
County Airport and at Pa trol Headquarters (PHQ) on top of Yail Mountain
that can be extrapolated to generally describe wind patterns at the Vail
1 Brewery site. The City of Aspen has also done extensive study on their
inversion characteristics which may also be useful here.
' In comparing the data available at the airport and at PHQ, it would be
consistent to say that winds .are calm for approximately 45 percent of the
time. There are surface winds with measured velocities ranging from 0 to 4
miles per hour. For approximately 30 percent of the time, wind velocities
measure from 4 to 15 miles per hour and are fairly evenly divided from an
easterly or a westerly direction. Wind gusts ranging up to 30 miles per
hour or above from almost any direction can be experienced throughout the
remainder of the year.
For the Vail Brewery site, the assumption can be made that surface winds
are normally calm with light currents moving up or dawn the valley in an
u
easterly or westerly direction. Moderate winds of up to 15 miles per hour
could also be predicted to flow up or down the valley with the predominance
being from the west.
Emissions from the Brewery stack would be carried out of Cascade Village up
the forested hillside to the East or out across the Interstate 70 corridor
to the west.
During the winter months temperature inversions may occur in the Vail
Yalley. The best information indicates that a strong inversion that sets
up well and continues through the night could occur from 6 to 12 times per
year.
Again, there have been no specific studies done in Vail relating to
duration or strength. The Aspen studies indicate that an inversion will
' start to build as soon as sunlight clears the valley floor. The inversion
builds rather rapidly, and continues through the night until sunlight
begins to re-enter the valley. The inversion then dissipates rather
' rapidly with the warming of the ground. With no measurable winds, the flow
of air out of the Vail Valley would be down in a westerly direction.
To be more specific, an inversion, if it is going to occur, would begin to
t build around 3:30 in the afternoon and be fully developed in approximately
two hours. It would continue through the night, start to clear out around
8:00 in the morning, and would be totally dissipated in approximately one
and one half hours.
In discussions with various agencies in Boulder where a micro-brewery
exists, there have never been complaints registered regarding stack
emissions. Odors are similar to those of baking bread because of the yeast
and are very weak. With a brewery stack designed as an architectural
element of the building at a height of surrounding ridge lines and care not
to begin a brewing process during an identified temperature inversion,
emissions should go undetected.
All information available on micro-breweries indicate that the process used
is totally different than that of a large scale industrial brewery. The
sounds and smells associated with an industrial brewery do not exist.
' Because of this, the fact that the Water and Sanitation Districts can
provide service and the minimal emissions into the atmosphere, the proposed
Vail Brewery is totally compatible with the Cascade Village neighborhood.

RE: WATER AND SEWER SERVICE FOR PROPOSED BREWERY
Dear Mr. Norris:
I understand from our meeting of August 3, 1988, that you represent the Vail
Brewery Company which is planning a micro-brewery in Development Area "D" of Cascade
Village, Vail. As proposed, the brewery is a batch process, using approximately
125,000 gallons per month and requiring a 1-1/2" water tap. Sewage discharge would
be free from solids and well below 250 parts per million BOD (biological oxygen
' demand).
Based on the above information, the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation
' District and the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District will provide sanitation and
domestic water service for the Vail Brewery at our standard tap fee and service fee
rates. If sewage effluent BOD exceeds 250 ppm, there would be a service fee
adjustment proportionate to the increased loading. Also, if the process discharges
large volumes of wastewater during short periods of time, then these releases should
be timed during off peak periods, between 10 PM and 6 AM.
i If I can be of any further help, please call.
Sincerely,

' Parking Demand Analysis and
Parking Management Plan
' Introduction
This report describes an analysis of expected parking need for the proposed Vall Brewery.
The brewery is proposed as a remodeling/ redevelopment of the existing Glen Lyon office
building in Cascade Village along South Frontage Road. This project is described as
"Development Area D" in the Cascade Village Development Plan. The 3-story 13.500
' square foot gross floor azea office building is sited in the western half of the 1.75 acre
parcel. A lineaz, single bay, head-in, parking lot extends from the east end of the building
320 feet to the east end of the parcel. The 54-space surface parking area is served by a
single two-way access drive from the I-70 frontage road. Entry to the office buffding is at
the west end of the lot and along the north face of the building, connected by a ramp
walkway to the parking area. The north entrance is about eight feet below the frontage
road elevation as the building steps down the slope leading to Gore Creek.
Our pazking demand analysis of this unique land use takes into account expected travel
and trip making characteristics of Vail Valley visitors and residents.
Proposed Project
The proposed redevelopment consists of three parts:
1) Anew 16.000 squaze foot guest-oriented microbrewery;
2) Expansion and redesign of the existing office space;
3) Addition of a new 3.000 squaze foot office buffding and 2,000 squaze foot
residence at the east end of the pazcel.
The microbrewery will feature "European Alpine" dining served banquet style in the
evening... The dinner will include live entertainment. Specific uses and attractions wffl be:
0 6,300 sq.ft. brewhouse, azound the clock operating hours
0 200-seat beer hall, 6:00 PM to midnight (1,900 sq.ft.)
0 2,390 sq.ft. limited menu brew pub with 80 table seats (includes seasonal
outdoor deck area) and 40 baz seats, 11:00 AM to midnight
0 420 sq.ft. of retail space (brewery related merchandise)
0 825 sq.ft. museum and reception area
0 1,200 sq.ft. administrative offices
0 560 sq.ft. employee lockers
0 1,060 sq.ft. storage. loading dock and circulation
1
' Elements of the operations and staffing plan that effect parking demand include:
1. The beer hall will operate on a banquet format with advance reserved seating
' or it can be reserved for a group gathering (receptions, award banquets, etc.).
2. 'Typically one dinner show nightly in the beer hall. A second dinner show
starting at 9:00 PM may be added during peak winter periods and summer
holiday times.
3. Typically, two brewery employees on each of three shifts.
' 4. Fifteen to sixteen food and beverage employees in the beer hall and six in
the brew pub through the evening hours.
' 5. Administrative staff of five to six persons, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM typical work
day.
' Parking Demand Parameters
On-site parking demand will fluctuate by time of year. For design purposes, we have
developed typical "high day" scenarios. i.e. a condition that can be anticipated to
accommodate parking needs at all but a few days of the year. From prior experience in
Vail and other Colorado destination resort communities, we have developed a range of
' travel behavior indices that reflect typical modes of travel and vehicle occupancy rates by
trip maker (employee, resident. day and destination visitors). Table 1 depicts the travel
parameters we utilized for summer and winter visitors to the Vail Brewery.
For parking demand analysis we are interested in the number of vehicles expected during
' "peak accumulation," i.e. that time of day when the combination of employees and visitors
on site will be highest.
' Of rinci al interest is the rtion of visitors and em 1 ees who. will arrive as either a
P P Po P oY
' driver or passenger of a parked vehicle. Employees will heavily rely on private autos
followed by public transit as their preferred arrival mode. Summer visitors typically exhibit
a much higher use of private autos than do winter visitors. Summer visitors often will
' take day trips to and from distant locations. Fewer winter visitors will use a private or
rental car as a way of reaching Vail than in the summer. Even those winter destination
' visitors who arrived via auto will often leave their car parked for in-town trips preferring to
use the transit system or walk instead.

' The Vail Free Shuttle public transit system provides year round service for residents and
visitors. The microbrewery site is served by the West Vail South route which travels along
' South Frontage Road connecting Cascade Village, Lionshead Village and the Vail
Transportation Center in Vail Village. Site redevelopment will incorporate a bus pull-in for
' an eastbound bus stop. This will augment the existing westbound stop across the road at
the Vail Professional Building. The current bus schedule provides hourly service during
summer morning and afternoon peak periods. Throughout winter, the service increases to
every 45 minutes from 7:00 AM to midnight. A number of lodgings in Vaff provide
courtesy vans for transporting their guests to and from local attractions. We anticipate
almost half, 45%, of winter visitors will use either public transit or courtesy vans to visit
the microbrewery. Summer visitor use of these modes will be considerably less, 17%, due
' to reduced transit service and greater availabllity and reliance on private autos during the
summer.
u

' The site is served by two bikeways--a bike lane alongside eastbound Frontage Road and
bikepath along the south side of Gore Creek. An estimated 15% of summer visitors wlll
use the bikeways to either walk or bike to the microbrewery. In winter an estimated 8% of
the visitors will be "other" as pedestrian or ski-in/ski-out replaces bicycle as the non-
vehicular mode of arrival at the microbrewery.
Peak Parking Demand
By plotting the expected number of visitors and employees that could be at the brewery on
atypical busy winter or summer day and then applying the appropriate "parked cad' factor
' for each category, we arrive at the hourly parked vehicle distribution shown in Figure 1.
As shown, peak accumulation occurs between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM. At this time in the
evening, all facilities would be open and operating and the number of food and beverage
employees present would be at the highest level of the day. Not present during peak
accumulation would be administrative staff of the brewery operation and tenants and
' visitors to the relocated office building. Parking demand for the office building will
typically be at a maximum in early afternoons, gradually diminishing to just a few spaces
' by 6:00 PM. Office parking need is equivalent to 55 spaces for the proposed use per the
town's zoning regulations. We would expect that a block of 50 to 60 spaces will be posted
for "tenant and visitor use onl}f' for the combined office space. This restriction would be in
' effect from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays.
Maximum brewery parking demand would occur on a busy summer day with an estimated
demand for 88 parking spaces. Seventy-six of these spaces would be generated by visitor
demand and an estimated 12 spaces used by employees. To afford some level of
assurance of finding available spaces without extensive searching, we suggest visitor
parking supply should be slightly more than visitor parking demand. Using a parking
' utllity factor of 959U would yield a suggested visitor parking supply of 80 spaces. Adding
12 spaces for employee use at this time of day suggests a total brewery supply of 92
spaces. Parking utilization by time of year is summarized in Table 2.

1. See Figure L
2. Utilization, based on 92 space avaffable parking supply.
With more winter visitors arriving via public transit and courtesy vans than summer
' visitors, total winter demand would be less--59 spaces. Applying the same utility factor to
the 49 visitor spaces in the total would suggest a typical winter day need of 62 spaces.
Hence, some excess on-site parking capadty would be available. even after compensating
' for loss due to snow storage, during winter months.
- , Parking Needs
The 92-space parking supply discussed above could satisfy anticipated on-site (brewery and
office building) needs for most typical situations, if the parking is pooled for joint
1 office/brewery use. Fifty-five of the spaces would be earmarked for daytime office use
while the remaining 37 spaces would be full time brewery spaces. During evenings and on
' weekends, visitor parking should extend into the vacated office .parking area. Suggestions
for managing the proposed parking supply are discussed in the subsequent section.
' Parking Management
The provision of 92 parking spaces to jointly serve the proposed microbrewery and
' remodelled Glen Lyon office space should be sufficient for aU but a few situations. To a
large extent, these situations can be anticipated because of advance booking requirements.
Furthermore. parking layout and operation can greatly facilitate desired use of the pool of
on-site parking spaces.
' Parking La,~ut--In all likelihood, atwo-level single bay parking deck will be needed to
replace the existing 54-space surface lot. A portion of this deck can be cordoned off to
' serve the daytime needs of the office space. Thirty to forty of the 55 spaces needed for
office use could be accessed through a gate controlled lower level of the structure. The
~ s
u
1
L
r
i

ii
C
i
remaining office space could be signed for "tenants of Glen Lyon only." During evening
hours when these spaces are expected to be needed for microbrewery guests. the gate
would be lifted for visitor self parking and the signed areas could be used by car hops as
valet spaces. Except for spaces marked as "2-hour visitor spaces.' all other parking stalls
would be unsigned except for a blanket restriction against day-skier or other unauthorized
use.
Da}~Skier/Commercial Use- As shown in Figure 1, daytime use of the parking structure
should result in a surplus of 10 to 15 spaces during a typical day in the high winter
season. During other winter periods this surplus should be higher--perhaps 20 to 25
spaces as noontime brewery use is somewhat less. These anticipated surplus spaces could
be sectioned off and sold to day-skiers between the hours of 8:00 to 10:00 AM or until
they are full, whichever comes first. Parking would be prepaid and be good until 5:00 PM.
This provision could help distribute day-skiers to the new Cascade Lift and help alleviate
congestion at the Lionshead Base.
Comparison with Town Zoning Regnirements
As a point of reference. we have summed up the individual components of proposed
microbrewery floor space per Town of Vail Zoning Requirements. for comparison with our
synthesized approach to supply estimation. As shown in Table 3. the sum of the
individual parts would specify 101 parking spaces. This compares to the 94 spaces per
our analysis (92 spaces for office and brewery plus two residential spaces). The distinction
between the two lies in our premise that spaces used by daytime office workers will be
used by brewery visitors during the peak evening hours. In essence. we believe the nature
of this attraction and its location with easy access to I-70 will generate higher visitor
parking demand than the Town's respective standard provides. Conversely. the
compatibility of ofllce and microbrewery uses affords an opportunity to manage the
proposed structured parking supply effectively for each use.

2. Per Town of Vail Zoning Regulations.
Summary
Our analysis of the proposed Vail Brewery and remodeled Glen Lyon office space concludes
that a 92-parking space supply wlll be sufllcient for typical peak parking needs. As there
are no parking standards for aguest-oriented micxobrewery. our analysis considered
anticipated employment. visitor capacity and. the seasonal variation in visitation and travel
by auto in this destination resort community. Design conditions wlll likely be governed by
summer holiday periods ,when employment and visitation could be at capacity and 68
percent of the visitors are estimated to arrive via a parked car. Public transit. courtesy
vans and walk/bike would account for the remaining visitor modes of arrival. Peak
microbrewery parking demand will occur between 7:00 and 8:00 PM. Daytime office use
peaks at about 2:00 PM and by 6:00 PM virtually all office spaces will be vacant. A
parking management plan for the required structured parking should be adopted to help
ensure adequate parking supply is available to daytime and evening employees and visitors
to the Vail Brewery/Glen Lyon Office development in Cascade Village. With one access
drive. parking management of the proposed two-level structure should be virtually self-
monitored using conventional gate controls. coded cards and signing.

Ezisting Conditions
South Frontage Road is a two-lane paved roadway with a paved. 10-foot wide-two-way
bicycle lane along the south side of the road. Precast concrete wheel stops spaced at
regular intervals along the right edge of the eastbound travel lane provide a physical buffer
between auto and bicycle travel. Posted speed is 25 mph increasing to 45 mph to the
west just beyond the project frontage. The bicycle lane departs from the roadway at the
west end of the property. dropping down the slope to crces Gore Creek and join the bike
path that continuously runs along the south side of that waterway.
South Frontage Road is on a .tangent section along the site frontage. The road curves
slightly south to the west to realign with I-70. There are no right or left turn speed
change lanes along two-lane. 25 mph South Frontage Road in the one-mile section from
Glen Lyon OIIke park east to the Town of Vail Munidpal offices/US Post Ofliee. West of
the project. where posted speed increases to 45 mph. speed change lanes recently have
been constructed at the Cascade Village/Westin Hotel access road intersection. There are
no distinct "access drives" for the Voliter Building property along the north side of South
Frontage Road opposite Glen Lyon Office Building. Vehicles travel in and out of this
property at various locations along the frontage. The Vail Professional .Building opposite
the east end of the Brewery site does have two distinct unpaved access drives.
No recent traffic counts are available along South Frontage Road per Colorado Department
of HIghways staff. Access drive sight distance is not affected by roadside vegetation or
topography. TYaffic volume estimates were derived from the State Highway Department's I=
70/Main Vail Interchantre Report of December. 1987. Data from this report suggests 1986
March PM peak hour volume in the vicinity of Glen Lyon Office Building would be 350
vehicles eastbound and 500 vehicles westbound.

' Project Traffic Volumes
Future traffic volumes at buildout and successful operation at the proposed brewery have
been estimated for each land use and activity. These estimates were based on typical
~' employee and winter visitors use of private autos. Appendix Table A illustrates typical
travel modes for Cascade Village visitors and employees.
~~
i
~ Figure 2 depicts the. anticipated accumulation of pazked vehicles for the Brewery/office
building during the course of typical high winter season (mid-February to Late-March) and
I' summer holiday weekend days. Based on these modal choice percentages, seating capacity
of the Brewery. antidpated hourly distribution of employee and visitor private auto. truck
traffic and average visitor duration of stay, we have estimated the combined brewery/office
pazk will generate 820 daily vehicle trips as shown in Table 1. Consistent with the Town
of Vail and Colorado Department of Highways I-70 Main Vail Interchange study, late-March
volumes represent a likely 40th highest hour design hour volume. Project volumes during
the Frontage Road PM peak hour have been estimated to be 67 vehicles trips. Over 70
percent of these trips would be generated by motorists entering and leaving the pazking
structure access drive (see Figure 3). Trip distribution is estimated to be 40 percent
oriented to the west. 60 percent to the east in consideration of the bed base and
commercial concentration to the east.

the parking deck access would be marginally warranted. An acceleration lane for right or
left turns out of the parking structure would n~ be warranted. Site topography and town
landscaping requirements appear to preclude right turn deceleration lane construction in
the space available. Most intersections along South Frontage Road in the 25 mph speed
zone do nothave deceleration lanes. Hence. the absence of a decel lane at the parking
structure entrance would be compatible with driver expectancy.
The new Porte Cocker (front door drop-off lane) would operate as a one way drive--entering
from the west and exiting to the east. The left turn DHV. six vehicles. would not warrant
a left turn deceleration lane. Right turn speed changes lanes into or out of the Porte
cocker drive are not warranted because of the low design hour volume.
Other Access Considerations
In reviewing proposed commercial redevelopment of the parcels along the opposite side of
South Frontage Road Nail Commercial Center). the Town has developed a plan for
consolidating access points and specifying left turn storage lanes at particular locations..
The proposed Porte Cocker Brewery entrance should be included in this access
management plan to ensure safe. conventional alignment of opposing left turn
opportunities. .Because of the bike lane and side hill slope that starts just beyond to
eastbound travelway. any South Frontage Road widening to incorporate future left turn
lanes should primarily be accomplished along the nort2z side of the road. Any .widening
should be done as a complete project for the entire business district and not as a series of
separate. independent projects to avoid a serpentine alignment of the trhough travel lanes.

Dear Dick:
,.
VAIL 1989
December 8, 1988
Thank you very much for the extensive work you did and the time you took
to review the West Vail street improvement project and share your concerns
with the Town Council and the staff. Your review of the situation was
very thorough and was helpful in identifying some issues that need to be
addressed.
Many of the items you pointed out have been taken care of at this point by
the Public Works crews for those small projects that are easy to take care
of at this early winter season.
A memorandum from Stan Berryman to Ron Phillips addressing each of the
issues you brought up is enclosed with this letter for your information.
I believe it addresses the issues that we could take care of at this point
and indicates some of the items that will have to be put off until next
spring. It also addresses the issue of road standards which seems to be
your primary concern. The Town Council in the past has agreed upon the
standard of road that was built in the West Vail improvement program as
being an appropriate level of road for a mountain community like Vail. I
believe that the Council and staff will be looking at these standards in
the future, particularly for areas that have a higher pedestrian use, etc.
in order to make further improvements in the future. I do believe,
however, that the West Vail street improvement was done to the
specifications we expected, the project was well managed, and the Town
received the product as expected for the money spent. It is our
impression that your concerns are that we upgrade the standards and we
will certainly be considering that in the future.
,. ,:=:
Mr. Richard Peterson
December 8, 1988

If you have any further observations or questions, I encourage you to
share them with me or with Ron Phillips. I also encourage you to meet
with Stan Berryman and Pete Burnett to have further discussion about these
issues. The best way to reach a good understanding is to sit down and
discuss the issues thoroughly. The Council and the staff sincerely
appreciate the effort you have made to identify and express your concerns,
and we feel that as a result we will see an even better product on the
streets in your area of Vail.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: RON PHILLIPS
FROM: STAN BERRYMAN
DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 1988
RE: DICK PETERSON'S LETTER
TM
VAIL1989
This letter is in response to the material that was presented to
the Town Council on November 15, 1988 (attached). We have looked
into each of the concerns and will respond to them in order:
1. The radius of the turn at Buffehr Creek Road and Chamonix
Lane is wide enough for two large trucks to pass each other.
The picture shows a school bus cutting the corner, which is
not necessary.
2. The concrete footers were put into the creek by the people
who installed the mailboxes. Our Town crews will remove
them.
3. The stop sign was installed much too close to the street
name sign. Town personnel will relocate the stop sign.
4. The steel I-beam hit solid rock when it was installed,
leaving a portion above the railing. Town crews will cut
off the overextended length of I-beam.
5. The bus shelter on Chamonix Lane was located 50~ on a
private lot and 50$ on Town of Vail right-of-way. The
property owner requested that the shelter be removed so that
he could put the lot on the market. The shelter could not
be located totally on Town right-of-way because it would
interfere with snow removal. The shelter was removed and
relocated to Golden Peak. Golden Peak has the highest
frequency of passenger utilization of the "non-sheltered"
stops.
6. The boulders are located on private property and were in
their present location before any road reconstruction took
place as far as we know.

7,8,12,13. The shoulders of the road were finished with road base which
is standard practice for a rural road. The road base will
settle for the first few years after reconstruction. Some
of the culverts will be blocked from this action. Town
personnel will clean the culverts and ditches next spring.
9. A comprehensive drainage plan was developed for all West
Vail roads that were reconstructed. This plan included a
system of ditches, culverts and gutter pans depending upon
location. The drainage system was designed to handle peak
run-off and surface water. 2,500 feet of culvert were
installed before the streets were reconstructed. The intent
of the design of the drainage and road system was to
construct a quality 20-year road to acceptable engineering
standards for the least cost. The culvert in the picture
could have been extended (as well as many other culverts)
and fill material added to eliminate ditches. The cost of
the project would have increased substantially if ditches
were eliminated and culverts installed.
10. The street was raised in this area to accommodate drainage
culverts that had to be placed over shallow utilities. We
have not received any complaints from residents and property
owners regarding their driveways.
11. The post in the picture is located on private property.
Town personnel will re-form shoulders next spring.
14, 15. The parking lots are located on private property. The
drainage and street plan assume existing conditions of
private property. The Town cannot require private property
owners to correct problems occurring on their properties.
The gutter pan is designed to take the existing run-off from
the parking lots and take it down the ditch to the west.
Any undermining of the public road will be corrected by Town
crews in the spring. Any undermining or cracking of the
private parking lot is the responsibility of the property
owner.
The design for all roads in West Vail did not include
sidewalks. If sidewalks had been installed, the costs of
the project would have been increased substantially. The
nature of all residential roads in Vail is rural. Sidewalks
have not been installed in any residential area of Vail.
Sidewalks have been installed in the more urban commercial
core areas of Vail.

16. The bus stop and bench were located on the south side of the
road because the bus used to run in that direction. As the
route has been changed, Town crews will relocate the post
and bench to the north side of the street.
17, 18, 19. All of the paths in the pictures are primarily located on
private property. The town cannot force private property
owners to upgrade their properties to accommodate pedestrian
traffic.
Bus Shelters - The Town obtained and installed 20 bus
shelters with an Urban Mass Transportation grant in 1982.
Bus shelters installed since that time have been exclusively
paid for by private developers.
20. The road is banked to the outside to carry surface drainage
to the west and finally to a culvert that runs under
Chamonix Lane at the intersection with Chamonix Road. The
road was designed by a registered professional civil
engineering firm and fully meets all accepted standards.
The road is posted at 25 MPH. The road is not unduly
dangerous for vehicles traveling at that speed.
21. Water is not intended to go into this catch basin. It
provides an opening to get into and clean out two culverts
under the road which meet at this point.
22. Again, designs and construction assumed existing conditions
of private property. There is not right-of-way to wide the
shoulders of the road in this area. The shoulder is right
on the property line. If private property was purchased as
a part of this project, costs would have increased
substantially. The road is posted at 25 MPH. The road is
not dangerous if vehicles travel at that speed. The edge of
the road is marked with delineators.
23. Culvert could have been installed to eliminate ditch, but
costs would also have increased substantially.
24. This section of road was raised to accommodate shallow
utilities and drainage culverts.
25. Culvert could have been extended to eliminate ditch, but
costs would also have increased substantially.

REGARDING DICK PETERSON'S LETTER

26, 27, 28. The West Vail roads cannot be compared with the Main Vail
roads which were reconstructed this year.
The design for the Main Vail roads involved a complex
drainage solution for groundwater coming from springs as
well as run-off from Vail Mountain. The design included
seven types of ditches depending upon the calculated amount
of water. The Main Vail area is much more densely populated
and developed than West Vail, and there is significantly
more run off on the north facing slopes of Beaver Dam and
Forest Roads than on the south facing slopes of West Vail.
Most of the rocks shown are natural and are on private
property.
The design for the West Vail roads involved a drainage
solution for much less water than Main Vail. The complexity
and added costs for these drainage solutions is illustrated
by unit costs for the two projects:
Lineal Footage Project Unit Cost/
Reconstructed Cost Lineal Ft.
West Vail 12,750 $1,050,000 $g2
Main Vail 10,200 $900,000 $gg
The residential streets in Vail are designed to a rural standard
which seems to be a lower standard than is acceptable to Mr.
Peterson. The Council would have to make a policy change and
commit significantly more dollars to pay for all underground
drainage systems and sidewalks to create the urban standards Mr.
Peterson is requesting.
We have taken pride in the progress of the Town's Street
Improvement Program. Streets in front of 448 property owners
have been reconstructed over the last two years. The Town has
closely worked with all property owners, utility companies,
engineers and contractors to ensure a top quality product and we
have received numerous compliments from the 448 property owners
affected by the reconstruction.
Please call me if you have any questions or desire any additional
information or clarification.

smonix Road, one year after completion?
1. If a vehicle is at the stop sign on Chamonix
Road, a car turning off of Buffehr Creek Road
onto Chamonix road has a difficult turn or has
to wait for the vehicle to move out of the
way.
The Town of Vail bus must wait on the hill

This section of street had a
very narrow shoulder 12"-14",
as well as a steep and deep
3' ditch. 4-5 cars a week were
stuck on either side of the
street last winter. Even the
Town of Vail UNIMOG was stuck
here.
24. This drive behind the 7-11
was raised approximately 16".
Several times I could not
get up onto the street
without taking a "run" at it;
NOT very safe.
25. This ditch is 4'deep with
a shoulder 14" wide.
26., 27., & 28. Obviously...
"line the ditches with rocks" has
a different meaning in West Vail
than on Beaver Dam and Forest Roads
~~
The bus stops and paths were not part of the special improvement -
district, but are areas of concern and need to be addressed. Chamonix
Road was only part of the improvement district and is used as an
example of the quality of the project.
In looking at the quality of the project, it presents a glaring
question--DO WE GET OUR MONEY'S WORTH? $1,020,000 for the total
project; $913,000 of that for engineering.
Why was the road raised anywhere from 12" to 18"? The original roadbed
was in very stable condition and drainage was not a problem.
Why do the shoulders range from non-existent to 24" wide? The average
shoulder is about 12"--hardly the safe conditions for walking, driving,
and getting out of driveways. Speeding cars are also a constant
threat.
Why are the ditches so steep and deep? Some are 3 feet + deep.
What happened to the quality of this project? Was it:
a. poorly planned?
b. poorly engineered and properly constructed?
c. properly engineered and poorly constructed?
d, poorly engineered and poorly constructed?
e. not engineered at all?
f. poorly monitored by the Town of Vail staff?
g. not monitored by the Town of Vail staff?
Why should a street improvement project create drainage problems,
dangerous conditions, extreme inconvenience, and unsightly side effects
for the people who live on or for anyone who drives or walks on this
street?
If we were getting our money's worth, we wouldn't need to be talking
tax increases.
Thank you for your time to review this information. If you have
questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please contact
me.
Respectfully, -

Dear Council Members:
I am writing today in regards to the Vail Valley Medical
•Center-and their current proposal for e>;pansion. I must once
again voice my opinion on this matter and the VVMC in
general.
I am of the opinion that the Town should ma6:e a
resolution prohibiting any assistance whatsoever for the VVMC
until they reverse their policy of refusing to accept
Medicaid patients, unless hife threating, thereby requiring
travel to Denver or Glenwood Springs for necessary medical
diagnosis and treatment!
They have offered numerous excuses as to why they should
not, but the bottom line is money. They do not treat these
patients since Medicaid-pays only approximately 80Y. of what
•~is usual amd customary in the state (though the state tells
- me they offered VVMC 90% ofi usual and customary). They also
claim than Medicaid takes too long to -pay them, yet they
• .still continue to do• business with Blue Cross/ Blue SF'rield,
mr#tiv "adm•inisters Medicaid•~pagments. VVMC entered into
negotiations with Medicaid in May, f98~7 -to resolve this
matter and; according to Medicaid, a contract was negotiated,
prepared and submi#ted to-VVMC, but was never- signed or
returned, so that the situation remains unchanged; noservice
for Medicaid recepients'.
You will agree that VVMC should treat those yin our
corranunity even ifi they cannot afford it. T--here are only
-approximately 120 Medicaid patients in Eagle County y- most ofi
whom are very long time residents. These are people who have -
health insurance provided by the State of Colorado, and the _
State dictates appropriate payment•<~of our tax dollars) to
• control runaway health care costs. This discrimination•is
also partly-#o blame for causing undue strain on tt,e~Medicaid
Mileage program, reducing-funds available for treatmen#~and
threatens to run the pwogram out of money for the second time
in a year.
Vail Valley Medical Center -12/15188'~r ~ Page -~-
VVMC wants this community and its governing-body to be
-charitable to them so that they can' continue #o expasrd° arid,
therefore increase their revenues, yet they clearlyrefuse-to"
be charitable to the community. They even are trying to
•attract doctors, as well as business, from other parts ofi the
country, when there are people in our own community who need
medical attention, and do not have access to it. So the next
time you need to see a doctor at VVMC, DON'T FORGET YOUR
WALLET.
The Town of Vail should not provide any money, directly
or indirecthy (including to fpm d raisers that even in -part
benefit VVMC)", `should require they strictly adhere°~ tai all TOV
regulations, t.e.'bui3~ding, health, design review, parfring,
traffic, etc. , and' °that no• ex•ceptions' #re~-~e~ren consi dered°-

this matter to the Council as well.

Dear members of the council:
My family and I have been owners in the Alphorn on West
Meadow Drive since 1972. In the 16 years since we have been
living in and coming to Vail, we have obviously noted the
tremendous increase in both vehicular and pedestrian traffic
on that street to the detriment of both pedestrian safety
and the residential nature of the street.
We have enthusiastically supported the building of the
hospital and its subsequent additions, and recognize the
benefits of the current proposed expansion. However, in
conjunction with this proposal, we think that it is
particularly important that steps also be taken to ease the
congestion on West Meadow Drive. We think that it is
reasonable that additional parking be built, and that it be
accessed from the South Frontage Road. Improved signage for
the east entrance to West Meadow Drive to indicate that it
is not a through street could also have a significant
positive impact.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Newman
MEMORANDUM
T0: Town Council
FROM: Ron Phillips
DATE: December 20, 1988
SUBJECT: Kansas Bar Association Convention in Vail
Attached is a memorandum from Melodee Kennington of the Vail Valley Foundation
outlining her chronological contacts with first the Arrangers on behalf of the
Kansas Bar Association and then her direct contact with Jack Stewart. I talked with
Jack Stewart yesterday by telephone and found that he is the Chairman of a Kansas
Bar Association committee which was responsible for planning a private function
during the convention called the "Bar Show". The initial contacts had been made
with the Arrangers in September with those contacts broken off in mid-October. In
mid-November he attempted to get hold of Melodee directly because he was putting
together his committee report that he had to present on December 3rd. As it turned
out, his committee voted to not have the Bar Show on December 3 and it will not be a
part of the convention program mainly because of budgetary reasons.
At no time was the fact that the convention was coming to Vail ever threatened by
these negotiations as the Bar Show is only a minor part of the convention as a
whole. The convention is being planned by the Bar Association Executive Secretary
out of Topeka, and all of the major arrangements have been made through the Bar
Association main office. Mr. Stewart is disappointed that his aspect of the
convention program will not be held, but he stated clearly that it had nothing to do
with the facilities in Vail or the communications with the Vail Valley Foundation,
but the decision was made on a budgetary basis. I read Melodee's memo to him over
the phone and he said that her notes and chronology sounded exactly right. He also
stated that at no time did anyone mention to him that the Bar Show should be held in
Beaver Creek.

oscarL.Tang o September, 1988. Received a call from Jaime Brotherston,
of the Arrangers, who was calling on behalf of the Kansas
Bar.Association. She was investigating all possible locations
sib Knous for a .private function ( "Bar Show" ) for the .Kansas Bar
President Association, during their annual convention to be held in
Vail, in June, 1989.
She asked if the Ford Amphitheater was available for rent
for private functions. I told her that it was, and encouraged
her to urge the Kansas Bar Association to seriously consider
using the Ford Amphitheater for their function.
o September 28. I-met with Jaime at the Ford Amphitheater
to tour the facility. She agreed that it would serve the
Kansas Bar Association's needs well.
o September 29. Jaime,. acting on behalf of the Kansas Bar
Association, requested that the Ford Amphitheater be booked
for them on June 14-15, 1989. Those two dates were reserved
for them on the Ford Amphitheater calendar.
o Mid-October. Received a call from Jaime; she said that
all arrangements made for the Kansas Bar Association were.
being cancelled.
o Mid-November. Returned a call I received from Jack Stewart,
of the Kansas Bar Association. He wanted to discuss using
the Ford Amphitheater for their Bar Show.. (He said that
they were not going to use The Arrangers, afterall, and that
representatives of the Kansas Bar Association would be
making all arrangements in Vail themselves.)

o November 30. Sent attached .letter (along with a sample
lease) to Jack Stewart. (Mr. Stewart mentioned that he
.would be meeting the next week with the Bar Committee to
discuss the feasibility of the Bar Show and the Ford Amphi-
theater as the location for the Show.. He also mentioned
that the Bar Committee was not particularly in favor of
including the Bar Show in their '89 convention schedule.)
o December 16. Placed a follow-up call to Jack Stewart.
o December 19. Received a call from Jack Stewart. He said
that he was extremely disappointed that the Bar Committee
had decided not to include the Bar Show in their '89 convention
schedule. He said that one of the biggest reasons was that
the Kansas Bar Association had made arrangements for President
Ford to address their attendees and that this was a significant
budget item, and that .they opted to put the dollars toward
the appearance of President Ford rather than toward the
expense. of producing a Bar Show.
He said that he "wrote a glowing report to the Bar Committee
about the Amphitheater and the arrangements that had already
been worked out with the facility, equipment and musicians."
He said. that he was .quite upset with the Committee and its
decision. I told him that I would-continue to hold the
dates of June 14-15 for the Kansas Bar Association, in case
something were to change, or if they would be able to use
the Ford Amphitheater for another function during their
convention. We agreed that if I received inquiries from
another organization or individual about those dates, I
would first call him before releasing the dates.

Winter Park and
leaser eye biz fee
for marketing costs
A movement is underway in
Winter Park and Fraser to cre-
ate abusiness license fee aimed
at raising $200,000 annually
for marketing.
The Winter Park Fraser Val-
ley Chamber of Commerce is
drafting a proposal to present
to the town councils calling for
substantial, but as yet unde-
termined, increases for busi-
ness licenses, reports the Win-
ter Park Manifest. Winter Park
currently charges $60 per year
for a license, while Fraser im-
poses no fee.
Proponents believe the in-
creased fee will boost the
Fraser Valley's marketing into
a competitive position with
other major resorts and create
a system that mandates a fair
contribution from all busi-
nesses in the town that benefit
from marketing.
The idea reportedly has
strong support from most of
the businesses in the towns.
The proposal is expected to be
put up for council considera-
tion in January.
Woman angered by
the gas company's
attitude toward fire
An El Jebel gas explosion has
left a woman homeless and
angry.
Homeless, because the fire
destroyed her trailer, and an-
gry because Rocky Mountain
Natural Gas washed its hands
of the incident, according to
The Valley Journal.
Sue Hamel escaped injury
Nov. 20 when a damaged nat-
ural gas pipe cracked and es-
caping gas ignited. The trailer
she shared with her sister and
three children was destroyed.
Hamel is upset because the gas
company made no moves to
provide temporary housing or
offer compensation.
Steve Shute, a Rocky Moun-
tain Natural Gas spokesman,
said the pipe was damaged by
an as yet unidentified third
party last summer, and hence,
the company is not responsible
ter in Glenwood Springs is tar-
geted as it's initial home.
The idea for an alternative
school came about when RE-1
Assistant Superintendent Jim
Bader enlisted the aid of Cliff
Colia, the head of BOCES Sec-
ond Chance program at Col-
orado Mountain College. The
problem at hand was battling
some student's boredom with
traditional curriculum and the
district's dropout rate.
The school will be a "choice
school," meaning students will
not be forced to attend but will
be asked to "buy in" to the con-
cept. They will be asked to put
together their own student
conduct code and work with
the staff like college students
work with academic coun-
selors.
Bader and Colia were to
meet this week with area high
school principals to determine
admission procedures, aca-
demic guidelines and staffing
requirements.
The first year, probably 25 to
30 students will enroll in the
program.
Golf course builder
dies in plane crash
in Park County
The man behind the multi-
million dollar Eagles Nest golf
course and subdivision in Sil-
verthorne died last week in a
plane crash.
Ying-Wyong-Benoni Wu, 50,
was killed Nov. 28 when the
single-engine Cessna-150 he
was piloting crashed about
three miles south of Como, in
Park County, reports the
Summit County Journal. Wu
was the sole occupant, and the
cause of the crash is unknown.
The president of Centron
Corporation, Wu was an origi-
nal investor in the Eagles Nest
development. He moved to
Summit County in 1981, when
Centron took over a contract
for the land. The development
was built the following year.
After investing $12 million into
the development, financial dif-
ficulties forced the company to
file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in Nov. 1987.
A native of China, Wu was
reportedly from a very
wealthy family in Hong Kong.
Huge tree falls on
Grand Lake home
Turkey Day morn
Thanksgiving hit a Grand
Lake family like a ton of bricks,
or more precisely, a 125-foot
tree.
But they have plenty to be
thankful for.
On November 24, at 9 a.m.,
Bill and Vicki Ray were read-
ing the morning papers in their
living room. Their three-year-
old son Jordan was seated at
the kitchen table, eating a bowl
of cereal.
Suddenly, there was a loud
"crack" and Vicki looked out
the window and saw the
enormous pine tree, that used
to stand in the front yard, come
crashing toward the house, re-
ports Granby's Sky-Hi News.
The 125-foot tree, thought to
be the largest in Grand County,
fell directly across the center of
the home and came to rest just
a few feet from Jordan's head.
A roof truss hit the table just in
front of the boy's head and a
piece of ceiling hit Bill but
didn't injure him. The chair in
which Vicki had been sitting
was buried beneath a pile of
ceiling material and insulation.
Damage was estimated at
more than $10,000.
The family went to Denver
to spend Thanksgiving and a
few days with Bill's parents.
