DATES September 19, 1989
SUBJECTS A request to amend the development plan for the Talon
Townhomes, at 1881 Lionsridge Loop, Lot 1, Block 3,
Lionsridge Third Filing, and Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge
Subdivision Third Filing.
Applicants Packwood Realty Company
On September 11, 1989, the Planning and Environmental Commission
recommended approval of the amended development plan for the Talon
Townhomes with conditions. The motion was made by Peggy Osterfoss and
a second was made by Diana Donovan. The vote was 5-0 to approve the
request.
The staff has revised the list of conditions of approval to include the
staff conditions as well as the Planning and Environmental Commission
conditions. Below is a list~of the conditions
A. PHASING PLAN FOR THE TALON PROJECTS
The staff recommends approval of the phasing plan for the Talon
which would allow the owner to receive final certificate of
occupancies for Phase I as long as the following conditions are
mets
Phase I
1. The applicant shall provide a letter of credit to cover the
cost for dismantling the existing foundations in Phase II,
filling these foundations with fill and top soil, and
reseeding the foundations. The letter of credit shall cover
150% of the cost for the revegetation of the foundations.
The letter of credit shall be submitted to the Town of Vail
for approval before final certificate of occupancies will by
released for Phase I. In the event that the developer begins
to finish the construction of Phase II, portions of the
letter of credit may be deducted at the time that final
certificate of occupancies are released for each building
complex in Phase II. The staff shall require that the
developer complete the revegetation of all the foundations
within Phase II by September 1, 1990. If the revegetation of
the foundations within Phase II is not completed by September
1, 1990, the Town of Vail shall have the right to utilize the
letter of credit to complete the revegetation work on Phase
II.
2. All fire code and building code requirements must be met for
Phase I. This includes previous concerns the staff has had
about retaining walls, turning radius for fire emergency
vehicles, drainage, and required fire hydrants.
,.vy
3. The landscaping for Phase I shall be completed ler the plan
designed by Dennis Anderson date August 28, 1989.
4. The Talon project has "approved mitigation" forlrockfall.
Therefore, the parcel has been excluded from our Town of Vail
maps concerning geologically sensitive areas. Ian a letter
from Mr. David C. Chamberlain, P.E., dated January 7, 1980,
he states that periodic inspection should be required for the
Talon to ensure that the rockfall problem does n'ot reoccur.
Before any additional certificate of occupancies are issued
for this project, the Town of Vail shall require that an
inspection for rockfall be completed and that the
recommendations of this report be complied with. Final
certificate of occupancies shall not be released for Phase I
until a certified engineer has verified that the rockfall
mitigation work has been completed in an adequate manner.
The engineer shall also be required to address the PEC and
staff concern about the durability of the grout used to
adhere the rocks to the cliff above the Talon Phase I and
Phase II. A letter from an engineer certifying that the
rockfall mitigation is adequate shall be submitted by the
applicant to the Town of Vail staff before any final
certificates of occupancies are released for subsequent
construction under Phase II and Phase III. In addition,
periodic inspections of rockfall hazard for this project
shall be the responsibility of the condominium association
and/or owner of the Talon Townhomes per the letter from Mr.
David C. Chamberlain dated January 7, 1980, thatlcalls for
periodic inspection of the rockfall situation.
Phase II
In respect to Phase II, the developer may choose to construct each
building in Phase II under a separate permit. Final certificate
of occupancies for the first ten units within Phase II may be
released without the recreation amenities package being complete.
However, the next ten units within Phase II shall not receive
temporary or final certificate of occupancies until the recreation
amenities package has received a final certificate ofloccupancy.
The staff does not approve the concept of using a letter of credit
to cover the construction of the recreation amenitieslpackage as
the Town does not want to be in the position of constrlucting such
a large facility.
Phase TTT
In respect to Phase III, the Town of Vail shall not release any
building permits for any construction on Phase III until all of
the development proposed for Phase I and Phase II has received
final certificate of occupancies or Phase I receives final
certificate of occupancies and the revegetation of thelfoundations
on Phase II is complete. In addition, appropriate approvals for
the development plan from the PEC and Town Council must be
received by the developer before any construction may begin.
F
B. GRFA REQUEST°
The staff approves the request to infill the deck areas for five
units within Phase II for a total increase in GRFA of 750 square
feet. The approval is contingent upon the 750 square feet being
deducted from the total GRFA for Phase III. The staff does not
support, at this time, the increase of GRFA for Phase III.
However, the developer always has the opportunity to come back to
the Planning Commission and Town Council to request additional
GRFA for Phase III.
C. RECREATION AMENITIESe
The staff approves of the redesign for the recreation amenities
package. As stated in the condition for phasing,' final
certificate of occupancies for the first ten units within Phase II
may be released without the recreation amenities package being
completed. However, the next ten units constructed under Phase II
shall not receive temporary or final certificate of occupancies
until the recreation amenities package has been constructed and
has received a final certificate of occupancy. The staff strongly
encourages the DRB to look closely at the grading and landscaping
for the recreation amenities package.
D. PHASE III CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANo
Although the conceptual development plan for Phase III is not
being reviewed for any final approval, the applicant did request
comments from the staff and Planning Commission on the conceptual
design. The staff does not support two road cuts for Phase III.
We believe one access point is reasonable for the 15 units. Also,
we strongly suggest that the unit that is located below the main
building site by Buffehr Creek Road be sited with the other 14
units. We think it is better site planning to consolidate the
development on the upper plateau and do not support siting one
unit on a steeply sloped area. In general, the Planning and
Environmental Commission also agreed with the staff comments on
Phase III.
These are the conditions that the Planning and Environmental Commission
and staff recommends to the Town Council for the approval of the Talon
amended development plan.

DATEt September 11, 1989
SUBJECT: A request to amend the development plan for the Talon
Townhomes, at 1881 Lionsridge Loop, Lot 1, Block 3,
Lionsridge Third Filing, and Lot 27, Block 2, Lionsridge
Subdivision Third Filing.
Applicants Parkwood Realty Company
I. BACKGROUND ON THE TALON PROJECT
The Talon, Phase I, II, and III, was annexed into the Town of Vail
on July 17, 1979. Ordinance No. 30 of 1979 addresses the
annexation. Medium Density Multi-Family zoning was applied to the
three parcels with conditions outlined in the annexation
agreement. The Talon has a specific review process which was
defined at the time the project was annexed into the Town of Vail.
The annexation agreement stipulates that the development plan must
be approved by the Town Council at a worksession. Even though the
project is similar to a Special Development District, the approval
process is different in that the Town Council reviews the
development plan at a worksession. Any significant changes to the
development plan must first go to the Planning Commission and then
to the Town Council for final approval. Please see the attached
letter from Jim Rubin dated September 18, 1980.
The Talon is comprised of two parcels for development. Phase I
and II are located on the north side of Lionsridge Loop on Lot 1,
Block 3, Lionsridge Third Filing. Phase III is located on Lot 27,
to the south of Lionsridge Loop. Phase I is constructed. This
phase includes twenty dwelling units having a total GRFA of 27,759
square feet. Phase I units do not have final certificate of
occupancies at this time. Due to the fact that the original
developers obtained a building permit for both Phase I and II, the
Town of Vail is unable to give final certificates of occupancy for
the Phase I completed 20 units unless a phasing plan is approved
for the project. At this time, the Town of Vail views the project
as being one development that is not broken down into phases.
Phase II allows for twenty dwelling units having a total GRFA of
28,045 square feet under the appr--owed Talon plans. At this time,
the foundations for these units have been constructed.
Phase III is undeveloped. The approved plan allows for fifteen
dwelling units having a total GRFA of 20,195 square feet according
to a PEC memo dated April 11, 1980. MDMF zoning standards apply
to the property for setbacks, parking, etc. Presently, no
specific development plan for Phase III has been approved by the
Town of Vail. In order to actually construct on Phase III, the
developer would be required to submit a specific development plan
which would include a site plan, elevations of the units, floor
plans of the units, landscape plan, circulation plan, and parking.
The proposal would then be reviewed by the Planning Commission and
the Town Council for final approval.
II. REQUESTED AMENDMENTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The project is presently owned by the Federal Savings Loan
Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). Parkwood Realty has an agreement
with the FSLIC to obtain amendments to the development plan for
the Talon. Parkwood Realty is represented by Mr. Steve Gensler.
The request includes:
A. Amend the development plan to allow for phasing of the
project. The present project was developed under one
building permit. Given this situation, the Town is unable to
release final certificate of occupancies for the existing
total units until the remaining twenty units of Phase II,
(which are partially constructed), are completed. The
developer is requesting to obtain a final certificate of
occupancy for Phase I with the condition that a letter of
credit to cover the cost for filling the Phase II foundations
and revegetating be submitted before the final certificate of
occupancy is released. Phase II would involve completing the
construction of the twenty units plus the recreation
amenities package which includes a clubhouse, pool area, and
tot lot. Phase III could be constructed at the same time as
Phase II or after Phase II is completed.
B. A request for an increase in GRFA for Phase II of 750 square
feet. An open deck area that is surrounded by walls on three
sides would be converted to enclosed space to add an
additional bedroom to 5 type B units. The developer has
agreed that the 750 square feet would be deducted from the
total GRFA allowed for Phase III on Lot 27. The allowable
GRFA for Phase III of 20,195 square feet would be decreased
to 19,445 square feet.
C. Amend recreation amenities package
The developer is requesting to redesign the recreation
amenities package that was originally approved as a part of
Phase I. The approved development plan called for a small
tot lot, and a recreation building, plus pool. The drawings
on the approved recreation amenities package are very
conceptual. In respect to the tot lot, there is no actual
drawing for the tot lot. Instead, "tot lot" is merely
labeled on the site plan adjacent to the west side of
building #9, Phase I. The original recreation building and
pool area are sited between building #6 and building #4. The
pool is approximately 24 feet by 15 feet. The recreation
building was approximately 28 feet by 20 feet. There is also
a small hot tub adjacent to the pool.

C°
GRFA request°
The staff approves the request to infill the deck areas for
5 units within Phase II for a total increase of GRFA of 750
square feet. Our approval is contingent upon the 750 square
feet being deducted from the total GRFA for Phase III. The
staff does not support, at this time, the increase of GRFA
for Phase III. However, the developer always has the
opportunity to come back to the Planning Commission and Town
Council to request additional GRFA or Phase III.
Recreation amenities:
The staff approves of the redesign for the recreation
amenities package. As we stated in our condition for the
phasing plan, the recreation amenities package shall be
constructed when the first permit is taken out for any of the
buildings in Phase II. Phase III construction may be
initiated once appropriate approvals have been received as
long as the recreation amenities package located on Phase II
is also included in a release of a building permit for Phase
III° The staff strongly encourages the DRB to look closely
at the grading and landscaping in the pool and tot lot area.
D° Phase III
The staff does not support two road cuts for Phase III. We
believe one access point is reasonable for the 15 units.
Also, we strongly suggest that the unit that is located below
the main building site by Buffehr Creek Road be sited with
the other 14 units. We think it is better site planning to
consolidate the development on the upper plateau and to not
put one unit on another portion of the site that has steep
slopes.
In summary, the staff supports the above amendments to the
development plan for Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III of the
Talon° In addition, the following conditions shall be met
before a final certificate of occupancy would be released for
Phase I:
A. All fire code and building code requirements must be met
for Phase I°
B° The landscaping for Phase I must be completed per the
plan approved on September 18, 1982, by the Design
Review Board° If changes in the landscape plan are
requested, the new landscape plan must be submitted to
the Design Review Board for approval.
C° The Talon project has 0°approved mitigation'° for
rockfall. Therefore, the parcel has been excluded from
our Town of Vail maps concerning geologically sensitive
areas. In a letter from T~Tra .David C° Chamberlain, P.E.,
dated January 7~ 1989, he states that periodic
inspection shou3,d :tae r.~,~~.a for this project to ensure
Under the new plan, the following development would be
proposed for the area between building #6 and building #4:
1. A two story clubhouse having a total square footage of
1,150 square feet. The first floor would include locker
rooms. The second floor would be a community room to be
used by owners of the project.
2. The swimming pool area is approximately 1,080 square
feet.
3. The tot lot area is 600 square feet.
D. Phase III site plan
The developer is not requesting approval for development on
Phase III at this time. However, a conceptual site plan has
been submitted to the staff. The developer has requested
that staff and Planning Commission comment on the conceptual
site plan.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
A. Phasing plan•
The staff recommends approval of the phasing plan with the
condition that the applicant provide a letter of credit to
cover the cost for filling in the foundations, adding top
soil, and reseeding the existing foundations for Phase II.
This letter of credit must cover 150% of the cost to do this
work. The letter of credit shall be submitted to the Town of
Vail for approval before final certificate of occupancies
will be released for Phase I. In the event that the
developer begins to finish the construction of Phase II,
portions of the letter of credit could be deducted at the
time the certificate of occupancies are released for each
building. The staff shall require that the developer
complete this revegetation of the foundations by July 1,
1990. If this work is not completed by July 1, 1990, the
Town would have the right to utilize the letter of credit to
complete the revegetation work.
In addition, the staff shall require that the recreation
amenities package be built under the first building permit
taken out for Phase II. The staff does not have a problem if
the developer chooses to construct each building in Phase II
under a separate permit, however, the staff shall require
that the recreation amenities package be included under the
first permit that is taken out for a_y building under Phase
II. The staff does not approve the concept of using a letter
of credit to cover the construction of the recreation
amenities package as the Town does not want to be in the
position of constructing such a large facility.

Re: Multi-Family Parcels in

This is to confirm that the Town Council at their work session
on September 15, 1980 decided that the multi-family parcels
in Lions Ridge Filing No. 3 would not be required to go through
the entire Special Development District process, but would
have to be presented to the Town Council at one of their work
sessions before going to the Design Review Board.
We would like the plans a week before they are to go to the
Town Council, so we can review them.

ANALYSISo The current policy in effect at the Parking Structures
allows vehicles to park for 1-1/2 hours free. Free parking
transactions account for 37% of total parking transactions. The
Council last changed this policy for the 1985-86 ski season. Our
recommendation of the Transportation and Parking Task Force, the.
Council reduced free parking time from 2-1/2 hours to 1-1/2 hours
prior to the 85-86 season.
We currently average a total of 1,092 free parking transactions a
day (both structures),
Assuming a 33% distribution of vehicles over the current 1-1/2 hour
free period, 728 cars could be expected to exit the structures
between 30 and 90 minutes.
If a fee were charged, we would expect a decline of free parkers.
Projected Revenue Analysisa
0-30 minutes free
30 minutes - - hours = $2.00
364 cars a day x $2.00 per day = $720/day
$720 cars per day x 150 ski days = $108,000
Additional Annual Revenue
PROSt
o Generates $108,000 projected additional revenue to help
offset expansion of the VTRC costs.
CONSe
o May decrease revenues to Village and LionsHead merchants
as some patrons may stop visiting shops and restrains
without 1-1/2 hours free parking.
TOWN OF VAIL STAFF RECOMMENDATIONe
o Decrease free parking time from 1-1/2 to 30 minutes free.
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONo
o Village Transportation Center
0 - 1 1/2 Hours - $1.00
15 minute free parking still allowed on top deck
o Lionshead Transportation Center
0 - 2 Hours - Free
ISSUE: CHARGING PARKING FEES AT FORD PARK PARKING LOT
Analysiso Approximately 350 parking spaces will be available at
Ford Park for parking during the 1989-90 season (utilizing the
remaining landing mats and gravel parking lot)°
The Vail Parking Field Analysis and Survey indicated the following
data regarding Ford Park parkinge
12% local resident
44% day visitor-front range
19% day visitor Summit County
3% day visitor-elsewhere
6°5% overnight visitor-Colorado
15°5% overnight visitor-out of state
The Ford Park lot was intended to offer a free parking option to
locals° The parking survey data indicated that the lot is instead
functioning as a primary parking lot° The recently installed
signage on I-70 and the South Frontage Road probably contributes
drawing first-time guests to the lot°
Proposed parking coupon rates for 1989-90 will be $3°00 per use°
Therefore, the most the Town could reasonably charge for Ford Park
parking would be $2°00°
1988-89 average utilization = 200 cars per day
1989-90 projected utilization if a fee were charged = 100 cars
per day
100 cars per day x $2°00 per car = $200 per day
$200 per day x 150 days = $30,000 estimated revenue
Two seasonal booth attendants would need to be hired to collect
fees seven days per week
Cost = $13,108
PROS°
o Generate $16,892 additional revenues
CONS°
o Eliminates free parking
o If parking pass and coupon rates are increased, charging at
Ford Park would eliminate an opportunity to provide locals
with a benefit (free parking) to offset the increased costs°
TOWN OF VAIL STAFF RECOPRP4ENDATIONt
o Do not charge any fee for Ford Park parkinge

o Do not charge any fee for Ford Park Parking during the
1989-90 ski seasone
ISSUEe PARKING IN DONOVAN PARK
ANALYSISt The Town of Vail permitted parking in Donovan Park
during the 1989 World Alpine Ski Championships. At the earliest
construction in Donovan Park will not begin until next summer. The
lot is on the existing West Vail South Town of Vail bus route.
PROS°
o Donovan Park can be utilized as an °°overflow°° parking lot
during the 1989-90 ski season.
CONS°
None
TOWN OF VAIL STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
o Allow parking at Donovan Park during the 1989-90 ski season.
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONo
o Allow free parking for a maximum of 25-35 vehicles as a °°last
resort°° overflow parking area.
ISSUES MOVING RENTAL CAR PARKING SPACES OUT OF THE VTRC
ANALYSISe The Town currently leases office space and parking
spaces to Hertz and National rental car agencies in the VTRCe
Level Three of the VTRC also houses maintenance and rental car
washing facilitiese The Town receives approximately $54,000
annually from the rental car agencies for use of the spacee
Relocation of the rental car and maintenance facilities could gain
up to approximately 85 parking stallso If this area were opened
for public parking, the Town could realize an estimated $57,375
additional parking revenues annually (average $675 per space per
year x 85 spaces)o
PROS%
o The Town of Vail Transportation Center Traffic Study
recommends that the rental car spaces be re-locatede
Relocation of the rental car operation is an objective thate
o Gains up to 90 spaces within the existing structure
o Allows for additional circulation and access
possibilities (one-way traffic)
o Results in an estimated $3,375 of additional annual revenuese
CONSa
o Increases traffic congestion and parking problems in other
areaso The rental car agencies would need to find other
parkingo
o Rental cars would need to be 00shuttled°° back to the VTRC and
utilize loading zones that are currently overcrowdede
o The VTRC has been extremely successful because it functions
as a °°one stepDO transportation centere Buses, taxis,
shuttles, and rental cars are all based out of the VTRCe
Moving the rental car functions out of the VTRC would make
transportation less °°user-friendly1° for the guesto
TOWN OF VAIL STAFF RECOMIKENDATIONo
o Terminate leases with Hertz and National on October 31, 1989
rental car agencies requiring them to relocate rental car
storage to another areao
o Lease office space only to Hertz and National for the 1989-90

ISSUE: CHARGING PARKING FEES DURING THE SUMMER IN THE VTRC AND
LTRC
ANALYSIS: Charging fees during the summer in the structures has
been discuss a number of times over the years. Charging fees has
always been rejected because of the limited utilization of the
parking structures except during special events (e.g., 4th of
July). In past years the costs involved to collect fees (either
manually or by automated machines) was barely offset by projected
revenues.
As a result of summer marketing by the VVMB, we have experienced
a dramatic increase in summer parking in the structures this
summer.
Project summer parking usage:
Average 200 cars a day in the Village and LionsHead
Parking Structure
400 cars x 90 days = $36,000
$36,000 x $2 per car = $72,000 projected revenue
Cost of automated token-cash machines for VTRC and LTRC includes
installation, fire shredders, and signage = $53,000
PROS°
o Generates $19,000 additional revenue
CONS°
o VTRC will, in all likelihood, be under construction during the
summer of 1990 for expansion.
o Eliminates free summer parking for guests patronizing Village
and LionsHead merchants.
o By offering free summer parking, the Town is able to decrease
costly summer bus service.
TOWN OF VAIL STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
o Do not charge fees for summer parking in the VTRC and LTRC.
TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
o Do not charge fees for summer parking in the VTRC and LTRC in
1990.

I. BACKGROUND
Though the Town of Vail has been a leader in developing
transportation alternatives to the automobile such as
improved pedestrian and transit amenities, the private
automobile remains the predominant mode of travel both to
and within the Vail Valley. As both a "destination" and a
"day skier" resort community, moreover, parking pressures in
Vail area greater than other areas farther removed from
Colorado's Front Range, such as Aspen and Steamboat Springs.
In addition, accommodating the large number of drivers and
parkers in Vail is a difficult financial and aesthetic
problem. Significant topographical constraints further
complicate the problem.
In recognition of current transportation problems and the
increased pressure expected to accompany planned future
growth, the Vail community has recently initiated a
comprehensive transportation and parking planning process.
As first steps in this process, a Parking Utilization Study
and a design study for expansion of the Vail Village
Transportation Center were initiated in December of 1988.
The Town now wishes to complete the process through
development of an overall master transportation plan study.
II. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
The Town of Vail is soliciting proposals from individuals
and firms interested in preparing a Comprehensive Master
Transportation and Parking Plan for the Vail Valley. The
Plan will address all aspects of the transportation system,
including automobile, transit, parking, bicycle and
pedestrian planning.
This request seeks a qualified firm or team with the ability
to perform comprehensive planning, work effectively with
Town Staff and citizen boards, and to prepare an effective
planning document for the Town of Vail.
Consultants who have formulated non-traditional solutions to
transportation problems will be given preference.
Consultants are encourated to provide examples of these non-
traditional solutions in their proposals.

3. The future role of public transit in the Vail
Valley:
4. The future role of public transit within the
municipal limits of the Town of Vail.
5. Future parking policies and plans which meet the
