VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
WORK SESSION
TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1991
2:00 P.M.
EXPANDED AGENDA
2:00 p.m. i . Site Visit: Gasthof Gramshammer
Action Reauested of Council: Prepare to discuss call up of the
DRB decision approving a modified landscape plan for the
Gasthof Gramshammer.
Backaround Rationale: On August 7, 1991, the DRB voted 5-0
to approve a modified landscape plan for the Gasthof
Gramshammer. The applicant does not intend to add any
landscaping to what presently exists in the planters on the east
and south sides of the buildings. On two (2) earlier occasions,
the DRB approved plans which included more landscaping than
what presently exists. On January 30, 1991, the DRB approved
the ski storage locker expansion with an accompanying
landscape plan. On June 19, 1991, the DRB approved a plan
which allowed the removal of three (3) Aspen trees on the
southwest corner of the Gasthof Gramshammer site. This
approval was given with the condition that the applicant present
an alternative plan, providing an adequate amount of landscaping
to compensate for the three (3) trees which we cut down. With
the DRB approval of August 7, 1991, the applicant is no longer
required to complete the landscaping required with the ski
storage addition nor provide any landscaping to compensate for
the trees which were cut down. The DRB believed that the
existing landscaping was attractive and that the Gasthof
Gramshammer did not need more landscaping to improve its
appearance.
2:20 p.m. 2. Site Visit: McDonald's
Action Reauested of Council: Prepare to discuss call up of the
DRB approval of McDonald's repaint of their roof beams from off-
white to yellow.
Backaround Rationale: On August 7, 1991, the DRB consent
approved by a vote of 5-0, a color change for McDonald's roof
beams. The applicant repainted the roof beams yellow without
DRB or Staff approval. The Staff was uncomfortable approving
the color change pursuant to the DRB guidelines, as state in
Section 18.54.050, which reads as follows: "Primary colors or
other bright colors should be used only as accents and then
sparingly such as upon trim or railings." The DRB approved the
color change on the rationale that it is acceptable for a
McDonald's franchise to use these colors.
2:50 p.m. 3. Update on AIPP Vail Transportation Center Project
Shelly Mello
Action Reauested of Council: Review selected artists.
Background Rationale: On August 8, 1991, a professional jury
was convened to review the eighty-three (83) submittals received
for the Village Transportation Center Project. The jury consisted
of Rod Slifer, Sherry Dorward, Kathy Langenwalter, Steve
DeVries (professional artist with experience in public art), and
Debra Jordy (curator of the Contemporary Art Collection at the
Denver Art Museum). The jury selected three (3) artists to
submit concept proposals for Phase II of the Project. The three
(3) artists are Dan Dailey of New Hampshire, Will Maxwell of
Boulder, and Carolyn Braaksma and Kathy Harai of Denver. All
three (3) artists are nationally known and were selected due to
their innovative styles and experience in public art installations.
The jury will be reconvened in October to select a finalist.
3:20 p.m. 4. Regional Transportation Task Force Update
Jim Marshall
Action Requested of Council: Review the attached funding
information and come to the Work Session with any questions
you may have.
Backaround Rationale: Several other local governments have
been approached by the task force for funding of the regional
system. The results of those discussions and alternatives for
Town Council will be reviewed during the Work Session. An
outline of our contractual requirements will also be reviewed with
Town Council.
3:50 p.m. 5. Public Works Capital Projects Update

Action Requested of Council: Give input to Staff on action taken
to continue/commence construction activities. Projects to be
discussed include Willow Bridge bids, East Vail bike path design
options and costs, East Vail Undergrounding update, Booth
Creek Rockfall Mitigation Berm, Booth Creek streets
