Clearly, the most significant change to this chapter is the Resort Development Density Bonus Section and Affordable Housing Density Bonus Section. This memo summarizes the major changes proposed to the chapter. Following this summary is an account of issues that were discussed during previous work sessions, but are not incorporated into this amendment proposal. I. MAJOR CHANGES TO SDD's 18.40.010 Purpose No major changes 18.40.020 Definitions No changes 18.40.030 Antilications Zone districts in which SDD's may be proposed are listed in this .section. Four districts, residential cluster, low density multiple family, parking and heavy service have been added to this list since the last work session. As proposed, property zoned single family, two-family, primary secondary, hillside residential, .agricultural open space, greenbelt natural open space and ski base rec are not eligible to req~iest a SDD. _ 18.40.040 Development Review Procedures In addition to minor wording changes, a work session with the planning commission is now required before a formal application for a SDD is made. Notification of this work session will be provide to adjacent property owners. 18.40.050 Submittal Recruirements New submittal requirements include a title report, written verification of service from applicable utility companies, a description of employees generated by the development and a statement outlining the development objectives achieved by deviations from the property's underlying zone district (if applicable). 1 18.40,060 Development Plan Development standards, previously located in a different section, have been moved to this section. The section states that development standards (.building height, setbacks, site coverage, floor area, etc.), are established.. by the SDD's development plan. Density, units and GRF"A, are limited to what is permitted by the property's underlying zone district - with the exception of density bonuses that may be approved in accordance with the bonus sections. 18.40.070 Uses No change 18.40.080 Desictn Criteria This section now requires the Council to find that "deviations from the project's underlying zoning standards benefit the _ project, the neighborhood and the community. New and expanded design criteria address view corridors, sun/shade patterns, open .space accessibility, traffic impacts, internal circulation, pedestrian circulation, ~,...rloyee housing, project amenities, Town infrastructure, conservation and interim phasing plans. 18.40.090 Resort Development Density Bonus This section establishes the maximum density bonus that may be proposed by a SDD. This detenaination is made based on amenities (affordable housing, .public improvements, landscaping/ open space and project amenities), provided by the project. Final approval of a density bonus is made based on the project's compliance with SDD design criteria. Highlights of density bonus section include: *Maximum bonus that may be granted is 40$. *Bonus can be used for development of accommodation units only. *Only properties in Density Bonus Overlay District (Village and Lionshead areas) may request bonus. *To encourage the development of affordable housing, any project requesting a.density bonus must first satisfy the affordable housing bonus. Only after the maximum bonus from affordable housing is achieved (30~), can an applicant request the last 10~ bonus. *The use of all units approved by this section will be restricted to either accommodation units or affordable units. Please review section 18.40.090 for additional information on how this system would be implemented. 18.40.095 Affordable Housina Density Bonus This section, when finalized, will provide a density bonus for projects developed exclusively for affordable housing. An increase of up to 25~ may be approved. 2 18.40.100 Amendment Procedures No changes 18.40.110 Recreation Amenities Tax No changes 18.40.120 Time Recruirements No changes 18.40.130 Fees The only change to this section is the use of outside consultants to."review SDD proposals. Currently, the Town Council is required to affirm the Community Development Department's decision to utilize an outside consultant. .This requirement would be deleted. It should be noted that in the event of applicant disputes the need for an outside consultant, an appeal of the staff's decision can be made to the Council. The only real change from this amendment is that a meeting with the Council is avoided if all parties are in agreement with the staff's decision. 18.40.140 Existincr Special Development Districts Minor changes recognize the new SDD's that have been approved since this chapter was last amended. II. ISSIIES NOT ADDRESSED BY THIS AMENDMENT The following is a summary of some of the issues raised over the past few months that are not directly addressed by this proposal. AoDlication Fees It was suggested that application fees be raised, or an hourly fee be .assessed in to compensate for staff time spent reviewing SDD's. The. application fee for a new SDD is presently $500, five times the amount charged other PEC applications. While it is true that SDD's can require a great deal of staff time, other applications that are .not SDD's can be equally time consuming. From a philosophical standpoint, time spent working on these projects is considered to be part, of the department's job. More often than not, development review becomes lengthy because the staff is working to make the project a better one for the community. 3 Underlvina Zoning There are three existing SDD's that do not have an underlying zone district. Two of these, Simba Run and Cascade Village, were accepted by, the Town during the annexation process. The third is SDD No. 1, N_orthwoods. A potential problem arises when considering amendment proposals because these is no underlying .zoning. to use as a basis for reviewing development standards and for determining allowable uses. The mixed use nature of these SDD's would make it difficult to find a zone district that would "fit". This is particularly true for Cascade Village. There are no changes proposed to address this situation. Deviation from Development Standards It was suggested that the .maximum density bonus potential be reduced for projects that deviate from the development standards of their underlying zone district. It is felt that the SDD design criteria are more than adequate to provide a thorough review of the impacts resulting from any such deviation and such a provision is not necessary. Recrulatina All Sc7uare Footage It has been suggested that the SDD process regulate all square footage in a project (retail, c~.~LL«on areas, meeting facilities, etc.)~and not just GRFA. Staff recommends that SDDs still allow for increases in commercial, common area, and recreation areas as long as the design criteria are met. In addition, staff would like to see affordable housing required for the additional commercial above wfiat is allowed under the zone district. If and when an across the board requirement for affordable housing for any new commercial development is established, than this new requirement should also be applicable to SDDs. Staff's rationale is based on the..following reasons: 1) the development of "non- GRFA" square footage has not been considered a problem in the past, 2) the entire square footage control system in Vail is designed around GRFA, it would need extensive revision, 3) many of. the uses accommodated by, such square footage - retail, recreation, meeting rooms and guest services are encouraged by Town goals,. 4) regulating, this type of space is contrary to the purpose of SDD"`s - providing flexibility and the existing unlimited commercial allowed in CCI, CCII and CCIII, and 5) the design criteria are adequate for reviewing the impact of this type of space on a building's bulk and mass. Impacts of Development . Granting density increases under this system may prove to be inequitable because the potential exists for the "last guy in" to be saddled with providing off-site improvements to mitigate the impacts of"development - impacts that are in part due to previously approved development. This is a valid argument. It has not been uncommon,. however, for development proposals to mitigate impacts for which the development is only partly 4 responsible. Vail Gateway's left turn lane off of Vail Road was necessary primarily because of traffic on Vail Road. This traffic is generated by projects other than the Gateway. The same situation is found with the left turn lane to be constructed for the Doubletree expansion. Affordable Units - On site and Off site? It was suggested that there be greater density bonus potential for providing affordable housing units on-site as opposed to off- site. This has not been built into the bonus system. Affordable units must,.be provided on-site. If the Council and PEC wish to allow for ,off-site units, the applicant would use the development rights of the off-site location in order to provide the affordable units. . wp:sddcovmo 10/4/90 5 0 CHAPTER 18.40 SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS (draft) Sections: 18.40.010 Purpose (amended) 1,8.40.020 Definitions (unchanged) 18.40.030 Application (amended) 18.4b.040 Development Review Procedures (amended) 18.40.050 Submittal Requirements (amended) 18.40.060 Development Plan (amended) 18.40.0'70 Uses (amended) 18.4.0.080 Design Criteria (amended) .,18.40.090 Resort Development Density Bonus (new section) 18.40.•095 Affordable Housing Density Bonus (to be adopted) 18.4O.lOb Amendment Procedures (unchanged) 18.40.110 Recreation Amenities Tax (unchanged) 18.40:120 Time Requirements (unchanged) 18.40.130 Fees (amended) 18.40.140 Existing SDD's (unchanged) 18.40.010 PIIRPOSE The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility. and creativity in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character. and quality of new development within the town; to facilitate the adequate and .economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the~Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan.

The development plan shall be comprised of.the ordinance approved by the Town Council .establishing the special development district and all applicable submittal material necessary to establish the parameters with which the special development district shall develop. The development plan may consist of, but not be limited to, the approved, site plan, floor plans, building sections and elevations, vicinity plan, parking and circulation plan, open space plan and a preliminary landscape plan. Development standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, building height, floor area, site coverage, open space, landscaping and parking requirements shall be established by the approved development plan. Density, including units and gross residential floor area, shall be as permitted in the zone district in which the special development district is located, with the exception of density bonuses that may be approved in accordance with sections 18.40.090 and 18.40.950. 18.40.070 USES Determination of permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be made by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council as a part of the fonaal review of the proposed special development district. Unless further restricted through the review of the proposed special .development district, permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be limited to those permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the zone district in which the special development district is located. Under certain 5 conditions, commercial uses may be permitted in residential special development districts if, in the opinion of the Town Council such uses are primarily for the service and convenience of the residents of the development and the immediate rieighborhood. Such uses,. if any, shall be compatible with the residential character of the special development district. The amount of area and type of such uses, if any, shall be established by the Town Council as a part of the approved development plan. 18.40.080 DESIGN CRITERIA .The following criteria and objectives shall be used as the principal means for evaluating, the proposed development plan of a special development district. Before the town council approves development standards that deviate from the standards prescribed by the zone district.n which the special development district is located, it shall be_determined that such deviation provides ..benefits to the site, the project, the neighborhood and the community that outweigh the adverse affects of such deviation. No application for a special development district shall be approved by the Town Council unless it is found that: 1. Community Plans The proposed development plan complies with all ~ 'applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and urban design plans. 2. IInderlyiaq Zoninq/uses The range of uses and activities permitted by the zone district in which the project is located are appropriate for the proposed development and will provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding development and uses. Deviation from the development standards of the zone district in which the project is located will benefit the design of the building, the site, the surrounding neighborhood and the community. 3. Project Desiga Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Building height, setbacks, site coverage and building bulk are sensitive to surrounding development and properties. 6 Massing of the proposed development does not significantly increase shadow patterns on adjacent properties and does not adversely affect public or private view corridors. 4. Bite Planning Site planning is sensitive to natural features, maximizes open space provisions and improves the overall aesthetic quality of the site. Buildings are located on the site to produce a functional development responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. 5. open Space Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, and are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site. Open space plans maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. Easements, deed restrictions, public dedications and other means as deemed necessary are implemented to assure land remains open and accessible to the public. 6. Parking/Circulation The public street system can accommodate increased trip generation resulting from the new development, or improvements proposed as part of the development plan 'are sufficient to mitigate the traffic impacts of new development. Internal circulation improvements are designed to minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts, accommodate service and delivery functions and encourage and _ facilitate the utilization of public transportation facilities. The proposed parking plan is in compliance with the parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52. Pedestrian circulation provides safe, convenient and aesthetically pleasing walkways throughout the project, and where possible, linkages with existing public and private pedestrian walkways. 7. ,Geologic Sensitivity Natural and/or geologic, hazards have been identified and the development has been designed in response to such hazards, or such hazards that affect the proposed development have been mitigated. 8. Housing Type and Variety Residential development within the special development district meets the needs of the community in terms of variety and housing type as established by community goals and policies. The proposed .special development district complies with all employee housing requirements as mandated by the Towri's employee housing policies. 9, Project Amenities `.Project amenities such as public art, recreation facilities, convention and meeting rooms and other facilities are designed to provide guest or user services typically associated with resort development. 10. Infrastructure/Town Services Adequate utility capacity is available to serve the development without adversely affecting service levels for existing or future development in the area. The project is designed to assure safe and efficient access and service by the Town's Fire Department and Public Works Departments. The design of drainage improvements and utility connections are sensitive to existing natural features and designed in a manner that minimizes disturbance of the site and surrounding areas. 11. Environmental Issues Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the development plan. The proposed development is designed, built and operated to maximize energy and resource conservation. 12. Project Phasing Project phasing or subdivision plans will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. 8 Interim landscape/site improvement plans will be implemented between phases, ,and the completion of interim improvement plans are guaranteed by a cash bond, letter of credit or some other assurance acceptable to the Town. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with all applicable design criteria. Further, it shall be demonstrated that.. the development objectives of the project are `consistent with community goals and that the development provides , town-wide benefits beyond what could be achieved if the property were developed in accordance with underlying zoning. 18.40.090 RESORT D~vr,LOPMENT DENSITY BONIIB The purpose of the density .bonus section is to allow, under certain circumstances, the development of residential density in excess of density permitted, by the zone district in which a special development district.is located. The areas eligible .f or density bonuses, and the type of residential development permitted under;this section, are intended to achieve the goals of the Vail Comprehensive Plan by increasing overnight accommodations in the Vail Village and Lionshead areas. This section establishes the maximum density that may be requested by a special development district eligible for .a .density bonus. Increased development rights are not granted by this section. Final approval of a density bonus is made as a part of the review and approval of said special development district. A. Any property located within the Density Bonus Overlay District that is eligible to request a special development district may request a density bonus in accordance with this section. A property may receive a density bonus only once. B. Development permitted by a density bonus approved in accordance with this chapter is limited to accommodation units. Accommodation units developed under this section shall be restricted so as to prohibit their conversion to condominium or time share ownership. A declaration of covenants and restrictions shall be filed of record in the office of the Eagle County clerk and recorder, in a manner acceptable to the Town Attorney, for the benefit of the Town to insure that said restrictions run with the land. 9 C. The approval of a density bonus requires a two-step process r that involves determinating the maximum density bonus that may be requested in accordance with this section and approval of a special development district in accordance with section 18.40.040. Compliance with density bonus amenities listed in subsection D. establishes the maximum .,:density that may be requested as part of a special development district proposal. Final approval of a density bonus is based on the proposed development plan's compliance with all applicable special development district design criteria as outlined in section 18.40.080. Application for a density bonus shall be made as part of an application for a special.development district. In addition to submittal requirements outlined in section 18.40.050, submittal requirements for a density bonus request shall .include all written and graphic material necessary to demonstrate the project's compliance with density bonus amenities. The review of a density bonus request shall be done concurrent with the review of the special development district per Section 18.40.040. The. Town Council, with recommendations from the planning and Environmental Commission and Town staff, shall determine the '_maximum density bonus that may be requested by the special development district proposal. The special development district and the density bonus request may be approved,~~ approved with modifications, or denied by the Town Council based on the proposal's compliance with section 18.40.080 - special development district design standards. D. The maximum density bonus permitted under this section shall be determined by the bonus amenity schedule below. Any request for a density bonus shall be required to provide the affordable housing bonus amenity as an element of the proposed development plan. If the maximum affordable housing benefit is achieved, one or more additional bonus amenities may be proposed. Density bonuses shall be approved for bonus amenities consistent with the purpose and standards outlined below. In no circumstances will density bonuses be approved for amenities or improvements existing at the time the density bonus is requested. The percentages indicated below reflect the maximum percentage increase in accommodation units that may be developed in accordance with this section. The percentage increase is based on the total accommodation units permitted by the zone district in which the proposed special development district is located. 10 A project's maximum density bonus shall be determined based on the additive total of each of the following four bonus criteria. When applicable, partial units shall be rounded up. In no case shall the total density bonus exceed 40$ of the accommodation units allowed by the zone district in which the proposed special development district is located. E. BONIIS AMENITIEB 1. Affordable Housinq (maximum 30$) The purpose of this bonus is to encourage the development of affordable housing in conjunction with new development. An affordable housing unit or affordable studio unit shall be as defined in the Vail Affordable Housing Plan and Policies. A density bonus of up to 30$ may be granted for the development of accommodation units. The amount of density bonus requested under this subsection shall be at the discretion of the applicant. The development of affordable housing ,units equal to 30g of the requested bonus accommodation units shall be required in order to receive this bonus. When applicable, partial units shall be rounded up. For example, the "by-right" development potential of a site is fifty accommodation units. A maximum of fifteen "bonus" accommodation units would be possible on this site (30$ of 50 is 15). In order to achieve the maximum bonus, the development of five affordable housing units would be required (30$ of 15 is 4.5, or 5). Likewise, an applicant requesting ten bonus accommodation units would be required to provide three affordable units (30$ of 10 is 3). .Affordable housing units shall be constructed on-site. Affordable housing units constructed on-site shall not be ,calculated in the overall density bonus request for the special development district. Any proposed special development district that achieves the maximum density bonus from affordable housing may request an additional density bonus for the following bonus amenities: 2. Public Improvements (maximum 10$) The purpose of this bonus is to encourage the development of public improvements and facilities in order to mitigate the impacts of new development. Examples may include public improvements outlined in the Vail Village and Lionshead Urban Design Guide it C~ Plans, the extension of public walkways, trails or paths indicated in the Vail Recreation Trail Master Plan,~public transit facilities such as bus stops and parking facilities in excess of requirements made available for public use. At the discretion of the Town Council, a density bonus of 1-10.$ may be approved for public improvements ,provided in the. development plan of a special development district. The final determination of the .density bonus shall be made based on the overall public benefit provided by the improvement. 3. LandscapingjOpen Bpace (maximum 5~) The purpose of this bonus is to encourage open space and landscaped areas in special development districts. A density bonus~of l~ may be allowed for every 1~ of landscaped site area in excess of the landscaping requirement established by the zone district in which the special development district is located, provided the landscaped or open space areas are designed to provide significant public benefits. The final determination of public benefit shall be made by the Town Council, and may include the dedication of land to public ownership, the integration of open space areas with existing open space parcels, open space located and designed for public access, or other considerations deemed appropriate. 4. Project Amenities (maximum 5~) The purpose of this bonus is to encourage the development of project amenities that provide economic or aesthetic benefit to the community. Examples of project amenities include convention or meeting facilities, recreation facilities and the permanent display of .public art. Public art shall be located in a prominent location and shall be approved by the Art in Public Places Commission. Convention or meeting facilities shall be large enough to accommodate groups of at least 25 people. At the discretion of the Town Council, a density bonus of up to 5$ may. be approved for project amenities. The final determination of a density bonus shall be made based on the public benefit provided by the amenity. 12 ,All improvements. or amenities required by this section shall be constructed in, conjunction with the development of the special development district. At the discretion of the Town council, the completion of significant site improvements, public art; and affordable housing shall be guaranteed with a letter of credit or cash bond payable to the Town of Vail. E. Up to an.additional four hundred (400) square feet of gross residential floor area shall be permitted for every bonus accommodation unit. This additional gross residential floor area shall be used .only for the development of bonus accommodation units approved in accordance with this section. 18.40.095 AFFORDABLE HOUSING DENSITY BONUS The Affordable .Housing .Density Bonus is designed for projects that are developed exclusively for affordable housing. In such cases, a density bonus of up to 25~ over the property's underlying zoning may be possible. This section is independent of the "affordable housing bonus amenity" in the Resort Development Density Bonus Section, 18.40.090 (E1). An affordable housing density bonus request is proposed as a special development district and evaluated based on the SDD design criteria. This section will be drafted following completion of Affordable Housing Study.

We agree that voluntary efforts are working better than they have in the past, but the enclosed article from the Denver Post of Tuesday, October 2, indicates that a curbside recycling in Denver initially will only reach 6-7 percent of the City's households. Another recent article indicated that Coors has far too much recycled glass for them to use and it will be some time before other recycling centers are set up to take glass in Colorado. We received information also from groups to our marketing recycling, stating that a bottle deposit bill would hurt recycling efforts. We . certainly do not want to hurt those efforts and strongly support both financially and philosophically voluntary recycling programs in Vail. However, we disagree the bottle deposit bill would hurt these efforts. We believe that both mandatory bottle deposits and a strong emphasis.on voluntary recycling are necessary to combat the problem. We also believe that both of these efforts can work in concert without one hurting the other. Certainly a bottle deposit bill requiring bottles to be returned for reuse is the ultimate in recycling of glass. It also helps in the conservation of energy as not as much energy is needed to clean the bottles for reuse, as is necessary for taking crushed glass and remaking new bottles. The Vail Town Council would appreciate the Finance and Government Issues Committee reconsidering the issue.

Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 RE: Land Ownership Adjustment Plan Dear Bill, It was good to talk to you Tuesday night at the Council meeting and to hear that Rich Phelps is on board to begin addressing the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan in the next few weeks. We are looking forward to working with Rich and your office in this process. We will be happy to set up a meeting for the Council to take a tour, with you and your staff, of encroachment areas you found this summer as you surveyed the forest service boundary in the Gore Valley. The Town Council has asked that I formally request that, as you begin the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan, you seriously consider making the Gore Valley a priority separate area due to extreme pressures in this valley for private purpose land exchanges. We feel that addressing the Gore Valley, or some representative area in the Vail/Beaver Creek region, separate from the White River National Forest as a whole would be expedient due to the development pressures we are experiencing. We do not mean to request a special privilege, but we feel that the land exchange issues that we have faced jointly over the past 7 to 8 years justify attention due to Gore Valley and the land ownership adjustment planning process. If there is anything we can do to help expedite the process in Vail, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sinc rely, Rondall U.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Larry, The Town Council has asked that I write you to request that the Vail Board of Realtors seriously consider addressing an issue in Vail which the Council perceives as a growing problem. We see a few condominium projects beginning to deteriorate physically and feel there is no easy answer to how to deal with condominium project ownership and condominium associations to encourage continual upkeep of the projects. The Town Council requests that the Vail Board of Realtors consider taking on a planning process to devise recommendations for dealing with condominium ownership. This challenge, as you know, is particularly difficult because many of the condominium association by-laws require a substantial majority of 85% or more of all owners and associations to approve major improvement projects along with 100% of mortgage holders. This is a tough problem which the Town Council feels your organization may be able to deal given your experience in similar arenas, as well as the knowledge of your membership. It may be good for us to schedule a time in a Council work session when representatives of your Board can come and meet with the Town Council to achieve a better idea of what some of the individual thinking is regarding this problem. I'll be happy to hear what you think of how this issue might be best addressed. Sincerely, Rondall V.

If you have any questions, please call me. est regards, S uel ame ssoci a Dir for Enclosure /~xO `,vec~ T Qua ~s ~o ~ W~,~,~ , ,v ~ .

Wood District Ranger Holy Cross Ranger District White River National Forest P.O. Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 RE: Land Ownership Adjustment Plan Dear Bill, It was good to talk to you Tuesday night at the Council meeting and to hear that Rich Phelps is on board to begin addressing the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan in the next few weeks. We are looking forward to working with Rich and your office in this process. We will be happy to set up a meeting for the Council to take a tour, with you and your staff, of encroachment areas you found this summer as you surveyed the forest service boundary in the Gore Valley. The Town Council has asked that I formally request that, as you begin the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan, you seriously consider making the Gore Valley a separate priority area due to extreme pressures in this valley for private purpose land exchanges. We feel that addressing the Gore Valley, or some representative area in the Vail/Beaver Creek region, separate from the White River National Forest as a whole would be expedient due to the development pressures we are experiencing. We do not mean to request a special privilege, but we feel that the land exchange issues that we have faced jointly over the past 7 to 8 years justify attention due to Gore Valley and the land ownership adjustment planning process. If there is anything we can do to help expedite the process in Vail, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Rondall V. Phillips Town Manager RVP:mac cc: Vail Town Council Ms. Kristan Pritz, TOV Mr. Larry Eskwith, TOV - ~ y!~ town of nail 75 south frotrtage road vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 479-2105 office of town manager October 3, 1990 Mr. Larry Agneberg President Vail Board of Realtors 2077 N. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Larry, The Town Council has asked that I write you to request that the Vail Board of Realtors seriously consider addressing an issue in Vail which the Council perceives as a growing problem. We see a few condominium projects beginning to deteriorate physically and feel there is no easy answer to how to deal with condominium project ownership and condominium associations to encourage continual upkeep of the projects. The Town Council requests that the Vail Board of Realtors consider taking on a planning process to devise recommendations for dealing with condominium ownership. This challenge, as you know, is particularly difficult because many of the condominium association by-laws require a substantial majority of 85% or more of all owners and associations to approve major improvement projects along with 1000 of mortgage holders. This is a tough problem which the Town Council feels your organization may be able to deal given your experience in similar arenas, as well as the knowledge of your membership. It may be good for us to schedule a time in a Council work session when representatives of your Board can come and meet with the Town Council to achieve a better idea of what some of the individual thinking is regarding this problem. I'll be happy to hear what you think of how this issue might be best addressed. Sincerely, Rondall U.
