Housing Authority ~ - In November 1991, the Housing Authority completed it's Business Plan and presented the document to the Town Council. The Business Plan sets forth the Authority's mission statement, goals and objectives and 5-year housing production plan. Possible projects include a 75-unit rental development for year-round residents on 4 acres of the lower bench of Donovan Park and a 4-6 unit for-sale project at the intersection of Garmish and Arosa in West Vail. The first community meeting to discuss the Business Plan and the proposed Priority One projects was held in November. In addition to completing the Business Plan, the Authority applied for two separate Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) administered grants including a grant from the Energy Impact Assistance Fund for 5300,000. These Energy Impact Assistance funds are proposed to be used for the construction of the 7~ unit long-term rental development referred to above. The staff is in the process of preparing revisions to the zoning code to allow density bonuses for individuals constructing permanently restricted employee housing units. If you have any questions, please contact Jill Kammerer at 479-2138. Census Data Final figures have been received from the U.S. Census Bureau. The figures indicate that the Town has a permanent population of 3,716 and 6,167 total housing units. 3 Public Art ' The Art in-Public Places (AIPP) program is proceeding with the Vail Transportation Center J . project. This project will locate a site specific artwork in the main stair corridor leading down to Slifer Square. A public meeting to review the final design is scheduled on March 18th from 7:00-9:OOPM at the Vail Municipal Building. These meetings will be instrumental in the development of the piece's form and imagery. Those interested in helping out with the project should contact Shelly Mello, AIPP Coordinator at 479-2138. Vail Streetscape Master Plan • Vail's first Streetscape Master Plan has been formally adopted. The Town Council unanimously approved the Master Plan on November 19, 1991. The Streetscape Master Plan has been written to provide the community with a comprehensive and coordinated'conceptual design for Streetscape improvements, extending from Lionshead to Ford Park. As pointed out by many of those attending the, worksessions and public input meetings, the ambiance of Vail is offen cited as one of Vail's most vdluable assets. Distinctive architecture, dramatic views and an extensive pedestrian environment give Vail a charm that is unique among resort communities. The completed Streetscape Plan specifically focuses on the public spaces among the buildings. Plazas, streets, site furnishings, lighting and landscaping are as important as the design of individual buildings. This plan will provide the Town with the tools to ensure that the Streetscape is consistent with Vail's quality design and architecture. Final printing of this document is currently underway, and copies will soon be made available ' to the public. Please contact Mike Mollica at 479-2138 for more information. Eagle Valley Community forum . Over the past year, a new organization called the Eagle Valley Community Forum (EVCF) has been created to address community issues on a Valley-wide basis. The mission of the group is: 1. To develop a vision of our future which preserves and enhances our quality of life; 2. To provide an open Valley-wide forum for the discussion of community issues and to establish community consensus as to priorities and realistic solutions; 3. To bring together the necessary resources to implement solutions. Currently, the EVCF is focusing on organizing Fireside Forums on March 19, 1992. The idea is to have one evening during which residents in communities throughout the Eagle Valley and Leadville would host discussions at their homes on Valley-wide community issues. Ideas presented at these gatherings will be used to develop consensus on issues and priorities. The group will try to identify solutions relating to the concerns voiced by residents. ff you are interested in finding out more about the Eagle Valley Community Forum, please call the Community Development Department at 479-2138 and csk for Kristan Pritz or Amber Blecker. ozroai92 .

This past summer, the Town did the grading, irrigation and turf installation for the playing field. The field is almost half an acre and takes up a significant portion of the park. In addition to the field, the Town has done the base work for the access road, parking lot, picnic shelter and restrooms. This summer, the Town is looking forward to finishing these items as well as planting many new trees and installing a pathway system around Gore Creek. On the south side of the park, the Town will build a play structure and then build a bridge over the creek to connect the two sides of the park. Also, the Upper Eagle Valley Water and Sanitation District is planning to do some wetland mitigation in the park. At this time, they are designing an educational arboretum to display several different kinds of wetland species. The Town hopes to be finished with the park by fall of this year.

II~DTR®®UCTI®N While the title of our presentation may imply an adversarial relationship with your cable company, ie doesn't have to be the rase. Many times, the reason a murticipaliry is "ambushed" by its cable company has more to do with the fact that renewals typically occur only once every 10 to 15 years. The purpose of this presentatlon is to provide municipalities who are about to embark on a cable franchise renewal process with a frameu,~ork for what to expect and what to do. While there is no one or right way to conduct an informal franchise renewal, we have drawn upon our experience in helping to negotiate numerous franchises to provide some of the questions and issues you should consider. One preliminary piece of advice: since. the federal Cable Act mandates much of what cable companies and ates can and can't do in a franchise renewal, have the Act close at hand every step of the way.

First, here are some general considerations that every cable operator is facng today. GENE3tAL CONSIDERATIONS 1) Finandng difficulties in the industry . 2) Highly Leveraged Transac*~ion rulings have created problems for cable companies 3) Depreciation and amortization schedules 4) Rates vs. rates of return 5) Operating margins 6) Over-inflated values of cable properties in the late 1980s means some over leveraged companies in the early 1990s. EVALUATING RERFOR/V1ANCE - In terms of evaluating the financial performance of a cable system, there are numerous variables that must be taken into account. ® $~y~~g: comprised of basic, premium and anallary services • ~ens~ comprised of general and administrative costs, system operation, programming fees, marketing expenses and corporate allocation. - • peter and etrLity stn~cttre: in terms of an .acquisition or new system construction financing is a vital component in evaluating . whether a system will be able to meet its debt service including interest and/or principal payments and foreseeable balloon payments. • Cash flnw~ operators will evaluate their cash flow before - deprecation and debt service in an attempt to value their systems. Some of the numbers that will be pertinent are the trailing (last year's) rash flow, the running rate (this year's) cash flow, revenue Page 11 Flew To AveiG' Gt~unq .~usne-' Prepared by River Oaks Cabie Cori. pe: subscriber, cash flow per subscriber, the ratio of office and field personnel to basic subs and necessary or upcoming capital expenditures for system upgrades, channei additions, trunk or line extensions and other necessary or desirable improvements. . pmt r~ cash il~w rar+~s~ Operators constantly will be reviewing the ratios of their senior and total debt to cash flow, cash flow to debt service and rash flow after management fee to debt service in order to evaluate whether they are. in compliance with their loan covenants. It is possible that there may be revolving debt as well as ® subordinated notes which may balloon far in advance of the senior debt. • P*o forma resale valued Operators will, as part of their projections, usually deveiop pro forma resale calo~lations which estir:~ate systems being sold at the end of specific time periods. The calculation will then focus on distribution available to the limited partners (if any) and general partners as well as a return of their prinapal in order to project the compounded annual rate of return on a pre-tax basis. This e.~cit strategy is citical since it must be driven from the system projections for revenues and expenses over a ,period of several years. Thus, cable operators have a very good idea as to the re?ation of their projectsons (and the impact upon themselves and any limited partners) to proposed rate increases or changes in operating e.~tpenses. . 7"oe follouring pages enumerate, some of the categories which are - taken into account by cable operators in running their business. . , Page 12 How To Avoid Getting Ambushed Prepared by River Oaks Cabie Corp.

The renewal process C.~.v BE comprised of both: o An informal rocess and P ® o A formal process. With respect to the informal process, a decision can be made by a City "afrer affording the public adequate- notice and opportunity for i comment." The essence of the informal process is a procedure whereby a cable operator and the Ciry work together to amve at a mutually acceptable franchise in the renewal process. ~ The formal process can be triggered either by the Ciry or the cable operator during the 6-month window commencing on the 36th month before the franchise expiration and ending on the 30th . ~ month before the franchise expu~ation: If this window is missed by the cable operator; it will be very difficult for the operator to force the City to abide by the formal procedures under the Cable Act. Additionally, the mandates of local and state law must be followed in addition to those of the Cable Act where the Cable Act does not pre-empt local or state law in both the informal and formal procedures. The more common situation is that cable operators will initiate both informal and formal proceedings in order to preserve their rights under the Cable Act. Without the procedural protection afforded by the Cable Act, the cable operators are, potentially, in deep . trouble in a renewal proceeding. From a sequential standpoint, the following steps are taken under Section 546<a) of the Cable Act by the franchising authority after the initiation by either parry of the fot7nal proceeding: o "Identification of the future cable-related community needs and interests;" and R~ Page 20 How To Avoid GeQ.inR Ambushed Pre4ated by River Oaks Cable Coro. ~ "Reviewing the performance of the cable operator under the franchise during the then e,~rrent franchise term." Once the proceeding referred to above and public hearings in connection therewith are completed, the cable operator may, on its own volition, or at the request of the franchising authority submit the proposal for renewal. In some cases the cable operator will respond to a request for proposal from the franchising authority which "shall contain such material as the franchising authority may require" and which is allowed under the Cable Act Once this proposal is received, the franchising authority "shall provide prompt public notice of receipt of such proposal and, during the four month period which begins on the completion of the proceeding referred to in Section 546(a) of the Cable Act, renew the franchise or, issue a preliminary assessment that the franchise should not be renewed and, at the request of the operator, or on its own initiative commence an administrative proceeding, after providing prompt public notice or such proceeding to consider whether: 1. "The cable operator has substantially complied with the material terms of the existing franchise and with applicable.law, 2. The quality of the operator's service, including signal quality, - response to consumer complaints, and billing practices, but s without regard to the mix, quality or level. of cable services or other services provided over the system, has been reasonable in light of community needs; - l.- 3. The operator has the financial, legal, and technical ability to provide the services, facilities and equipment as set forth in the operator's proposal; and 4. If the operator's proposal is reasonable to meet the future . cable-related community needs and interests, taking into account the cost of meeting such needs and interests." In this process "the cable operator and the franchising authority, or its designee, shall be afforded fair opportunity for full participation." This includes the right to introduce evidence, require production of e~7dence and to question witnesses with a transcript being made of the proceedings. At the completion of such a proceeding "the franchising authority shall issue a written decision granting or denying the proposal for renewal based upon the record" A request for renewal can be . denied based upon an adverse finding with respect to any of the 4 - factors listed above, provided however, a franchising authority may _ Page zl ~ , i How To Avoid C,euins~ Ambushed Preaared by River CYiks Cable Com. i ' not deny a renewal on a "failure to substantially comply with the material terms of the franchise or on events considered with respect to performance matters listed in the second category above if such occurred after December, 1984, unless the franchising authority has provided nonce and an opportunity to cure and so long as the franchising authority has not waived its right to object, or has effectively acquiesced" If events occurred before the effective date of this section of the Cable Act, it may be implied that notice and opportunity to cure need not be given, although the cable operator will, no doubt, strongly object if this notice was or is not given and will likely claim its due process rights may have been violated . i If a proposal for renewal is denied or if there is an alleged failure to comply with the procedural requirements of the Cable Act, a cable operator may appeal such final derision or procedural failure by seeking judicial relief. . .

Collectively, Bob and Tom Duchen, who are the principals of River Oaks, have 26 years of business ' and legal experience which provides them with a seasoned background. Their work with aties and cable operators provides them with a unique perspective from both sides of the negotiating table. Bob Duchen is Vice President of River Oaks and formerly specialized in franchise preparation, interpretation, transfers and modifications at Jones Intercable, Inc. for several years. Bob and t Tom Duchen (the President of River Oaks) are Phi Beta Kappa graduates of Tulane University (1975) and received their law degrees from The University of Virginia (1978). While they work in a business rather than a legal capadry for their clients, they bring extensive franchise experience to the table. Their corporation has worked on behalf of franchising authorities and MSOs in communities which are located from Maine to California and numerous states in-between. They have worked in metropolitan areas and small towns. River Oaks has worked extensively with muniapalities and successfully acquired more than 76 franchise approvals in 9 states. This includes River Oaks successfully managing election campaigns which resulted in the g.nting of franchises in 14 communities. With numerous years of table experience between them, the Duc~'~ens have been involved in a multitude of cable transactions in numerous states throughout the country. That e.}cperience coupled with their extensive corporate backgrounds allows them to interface comfortably and effectively between governmental officials and cable owners and operators.

March 12, 1992 Dear Vail Town Council, Enclosed are several letters. in opposition to a streamwalk from condominium associations that are located along Gore Creek. I represent two of these associations and would be happy to discuss the issue at your liesure. S', cerely/ ti~. L~ Rick Haltermann P. 0. Box 2631 Vail, Colorado 81658 (303) 9 2 6 - 2 8 7 7 ' ~Ul~'IP'IERS ~®I~GE ~OIY®O1WIlYd><JPl< ASS®CII~TIOIY 123 Willow Place ¦ Vail, Colorado 81 G57 March 12, 1992 Dear Vail Town Council, In today's edition of the Vail Daily, the artist's rendering of the new International Bridge includes a beginning to a streamwalk as part of the design. Since this is adjacent to the Summers Lodge property, I am writing in stern opposition to this idea. The Town of Vail has historically ignored the triangular piece of land to the southwest of the International Bridge and to think that it is being considered as an entry to a streamwalk is paradoxical. This condominium association has taken on the burden of the maintenance of this piece of land mostly due to the neglect of it by the Town of Vail. Without getting into a long list a reasons why this condominium association is against a streamwalk, I would at least like to see an environmental impact study be conducted before any further consideration of this pro- ject. S'ncerely, ~zL~ Rick Haltermann Managing Agent Managing Agent: Burke Management Works, Ltd. 303-47G-7133 Edelweiss Condominium Association 103 Willow Place • Vail, Colorado 8167 March 12, 1992 Dear Vail Town Council, Now that the ski season is almost over, I am writing concerning the proposed streamwalk along Gore Creek in Vail Village. As the managing agent for the Edelweiss, my' homeowners have expressed to me their objection to this idea for several reasons. First and foremost, those home- ' owners who bought units adjacent to the creek did so with the understanding that the creek banks would be left unde- veloped. The Town of Vail has created almost a thirty year precedent by leaving the stream banks in their natural state while promoting the development of adjacent land by private developers. Secondly, from a management point of view, the stream- walk would only have negative impacts. The environment would only suffer from increased traffic which in turn would create litter and increase vandalism. In effect, more problems would be created than solved. Leaving the main- tenance of the streamwalk up to the Town of Vail would only lower the standard that the creek bank currently has as far as maintenance. As it is now, people can enjoy the banks of Gore Creek behind Edelweiss even without a formal path. Finally, the homeowners of the Edelweiss think that the Town Council should reevaluate whether this project has any merit at all outside of the idea that "it would be nice". The area behind the Edelweiss is already accessible, avail- able and used by those who want to enjoy the area along the creek. Hoti~a is it that a streamwalk is going to make this area any more pristine? S' cerely, Rick Haltermann Managing Agent Managing Agent: Burke Management Works, Ltd. (303)926-2877 RIVERHOUSE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION 225 WALL STREET VAIL, COLORADO 8]657 Dear Vail Town Concil, I am writing to you concerning the proposed streamwalk project along Gore Creek in Vail Village. As the property manager the River House Condominium Association, the homeowners have expressed to me their concerns and objections to this idea for several reasons. First and foremost, these owners who bought property adjacent to the creek did so with the understanding that the creek banks would be left undeveloped. The Town of Vail has created almost a thirty year precedent by leaving the stream banks in their natural state while promoting the development of adjacent land by private developers. Secondly, from a management point of view, the stream walk would only have a negative impact. The environment would only suffer from increased traffic which in turn would create litter and increased vandalism. In effect, more problems would be created than solved. Leaving the maintenance of the streamwalk up to the Town of Vail would only lower the standard that the creek bank is currently being maintained, and increase the expenditures. As it is now people can enjoy the banks of the creek behind the River House even without a formal path. Finally, I think that the Town Council should reevaluate whether this project has any merit at all outside of the idea that "it would be nice". I feel that the walkway is detrimental to. the pristine beauty of the area. The area behind the River House is already accessible, available and used by those who want to enjoy the area a ong the creek. Sinc ely i ~ i" ~~i U~.

Mr. Rick Haltermann Edelweiss Condominiums 103 Willow Place Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Rick; As President of Bishop Park Condominium Association, you have asked me to express our feelings regarding a Stream Walk along Gore Creek. We all know that there is an ease- ment alonq_ the Creek. Since my Parents built a house at 63 Willow Place in 1962 we have maintained the easement and have fiad only minor problems with trash and minor in-- cidents of vandelism. The Homeowner's Association is very much opposed to any kind of formalized walk-way along the Stream.. We are very pleased to continue maintaining the area, and we do not do anything to prevent people from using the area. The area i~as become high density multi-family. Any attempts by the Town to fiuild a path from Willow Bridge Road~to the Stone . Bridge 6y the Chapel on either side of the Stream would be met~witfi a great deal of. resistance.

These unique features, not available to tourists, have been prearranged by the Youth Science Exchange Program staff and our host network in each foreign county visited. Our governments' ambassadors negotiate around the conference table; you form friendships around the dinner table during home visits and youth get-togethers abroad. The governments' ambassadors work for the best interests of their coun- try; you work for the best interests of people. When you make friendships from , which understanding can grow, you move the world toward peace. You help to achieve the goal of People to People~International: world peace through world con- tact. ~ - Working toward this goal can be a challenge, and there are special rules and obli- gations you must observe. If you and your parents agree with these rules and feel you can contribute toward the goals of the program, you will be a welcome addition ' to the delegation. i To be certain you thoroughly understand your obligations, the Delegation Leader and/or the Interview Committee may ask you questions pertaining to the informa- lion contained in this manual. Be sure to read it carefully before your interview. If you are accepted into the program, additional information will be sent to you ,t throughout the year. Keep those materials together with this manual for easy ref- ' erence. `l The formation of the delegation and preparation for the overseas program is a pro- cess that continues throughout the school year. The timeline on page 4 summa- ;q • rizes this sequence of activities. ' ~4 i~ 1 f ~t. :C The ®le ~f the Science ~r~assad®r . As a Science Ambassador, you will want to make a good impression. When you are visiting another country, try to look at things through the eyes of the people who .,I live there, not as an American or Canadian. Recognize that customs vary and that other people do some things differently; this doesn't make them wrong or you right. Avoid making comparisons in public. Some things are better left unsaid. When you are with overseas hosts, do the things they have planned for you. Wouldn't you want a foreign guest in your home to enjoy the activities you had F; planned? Be the kind of guest they will look forwsrd to seeing again. ~ Learn at least four words in your hosts' language. Know how to say "hello," "good- bye," "please," and "thank you," and learn additional words and phrases if you can. : They will appreciate your effort to use their language. Always be courteous and considerate of others, expecially those who serve you. For example, if someone is speaking to your delegation, please listen and refrain from talking. Guides appreciate this courtesy and can do their job better. There are many ways you can show thoughtfulness, consideration, and maturity. Expect to be asked questions about your country. Be prepared to discuss our prob- lems. State your views simply and answer truthfully. If you don't know, say so. Take some pictures with you: photographs of family, your home, your school, your hobbies, and any special interests you have. Your school annual is a good way to tell people about your school. Not everything will be exactly as you expected. Learn to accept difficulties with humor and good grace. Some things can't be changed, so accept them with diplo- macy. The role of the Science Ambassador might be summarized in a, single sentence: "Be b when visitin ou in our ' the kind,of person you would want a foreign guest to e g y y country.

Frank Johnson 8:30 p.m. 3. Ordinance #4, Series 1992, first reading, an amendment to Andy Knudtsen Chapter 18.34 of the Vail Municipal Code adding construction staging sites as a conditional use in the Parking Zone District. Applicant: Johannes Faessler. Action Reauested of Council: Approve/deny on first reading. Background Rationale: The proposed change to the zoning code was initiated by the Sonnenalp Hotel. The magnitude of the renovation project at the Bavaria Haus requires an off-site staging area. Vail Associates has agreed to let the Sonnenalp use the West Day Lot; however, the zoning code must be changed to allow construction staging on that site. The Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the proposal on March 9, 1992, and voted 7-0 recommending approval of the ordinance. The ordinance will add construction staging as a conditional use. Thus, any proposal must meet the conditional use criteria and comply with any conditions of approval put on the project by PEC. Staff Recommendation: Approve Ordinance 4, Series of 1992. 8:40 p.m. 4. Resolution #6, Series 1992, resolving April 26 to May 3, 1992, as Ron Phillips Days of Remembrance of Victims of Holocaust. Action Reauested of Council: Approve/deny Resolution #6, Series of 1992. Background Rationale: The Town of Vail has received a request from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council to proclaim the week of Aprif 30 to May 3, 1992, as Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust. The Days of Remembrance provide Americans each year with an opportunity to reflect upon the events of 1933-1945 and to rededicate themselves to the basic principles upon which this great nation was established: individual freedom conjoined with social responsibility. Staff Recommendation: Approve Resolution #6, Series of 1992. 8:50 p.m. 5. Resolution #7, Series 1992, resolving April 5 to 11, 1992, as Ron Phillips Week of the Young Child. Action Reauested of Council: Approve/deny Resolution #7, Series of 1992. Backaround Rationale: The Town of Vail has received a request from the local coordinator of this year's Week of the Young Child. April 5 - 11 is Nationally known as Week of the Young Child in recognition of children's issues. Action Reauested of Council: Approve Resolution #7, Series of 1992. 9:00 p.m. 6. Appeal of DRB Decision regarding Schmidt Residence. Shelly Mello Lot G-1, Lionsridge Filing No.1 at 1410 Buffehr Creek Road. Owner: Leroy Schmidt. Action Reauested of Council: Uphold/Overturn DRB decision denying requesting to separate units. Backaround Rationale: On February 19, 1992, the applicant requested permission to separate a proposed primary unit from an existina secondary unit. George Lamb made a motion to deny the request, Pat Herrington seconded the motion, and the DRB unanimously voted to deny the request, finding that there were no substantial site constraints, per Section 18.54.050(1) - Design Guidelines, Duplex and Primary/Secondary Development, which warranted the separation of the units. Staff Recommendation: Uphold the DRB decision. 9:30 p.m. 7. Police Department Space Expansion Presentation Herb Roth 10:00 p.m. 8. Adjournment.

Sincerely, Cricket P'yl man • Assistant Director Learning Tree i IIAEMORA?NDU11A TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: March 9, 1992 SUBJECT: A request to amend Section 18.34, Parking Zone District of the Vail Municipal Code to allow construction staging as a conditional use. Applicants: Vail Associates/Sonnenalp Properties Planner: Andy Knudtsen I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The request made by the applicant, Johannes Faessler, is to amend Chapter 18.34, Parking District, of the Vail Municipal Code to include temporary construction staging as a conditional use. Chapter 18.34 regulates the Parking Zone District for the Town. The three sites within the Town which have this zoning include the Lionshead Parking Structure, the parking lot east of the Garden of the Gods (underlying zoning for a portion of the SDD), and the West Day Lot owned by Vail Associates. II. BACKGROUND The applicant plans to renovate the Bavaria Haus during the summers of 1992 and 1993. This extensive renovation will require 'a staging area that is off-site. In the past, other redevelopment. projects in the Village have used the upper bench of Ford Park as a staging area. Because of the increased use and development of the park in recent years, the Town is no longer allowing private contractors to use the park for staging. Staff has worked with the architect for the Sonnenalp Hotel, Ken O'Bryan, to try to identify a site for staging which would be compatible with adjacent uses. After reviewing several sites, the applicant was successful in negotiating an agreement with Vail Associates for the use of the West Day Lot, adjacent to the Marriott in Lionshead. However, before staging can take place on that lot, the zoning code must be amended to include construction staging as a conditional use. Following that amendment process, the applicant must receive an approved conditional use permit.., III. PROPOSED CODE LANGUAGE Below is all of the text included in Chapter 18.34, Parking District. The proposed text is shaded in grey. 18.34.010 -Purpose The parking district is intended to provide sites for private or public unstructured off-street vehicle parking and conditionally to provide for private or public off- 1 street vehicle parking structures and private or public parks and recreational facilities. The parking district is intended to allow such used #~+4+t+es while ensuring adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each valid use in adjacent areas. (Ord. 2(1976) § 3 (part): Ord. 8(1973) § 24.100.) 18.34.020 -Permitted Uses The following uses shall be permitted in the P district: Private or public unstructured off-street vehicle parking. (Ord. 2(1976) § 3 (part): Ord. 8(1973) § 24.200.) 18.34.030 -Conditional Uses The following conditional uses shall be permitted subject to issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.60: A. Private or public off-street vehicle parking structures; B. Private or public parks and recreational facilities:;; C. Public uses, private office and commercial uses that are transportation; tourist or town related and that are accessory to a parking structure:; D. Major arcade.- E~ Tarmporary construction staging area For tiia~u,rp`oses of this paragraph, a #amporary construction staging site sha~A mean a site on which; for a„temporary p~rrod of time, construction materials, heavy co:n$fruction equipment, vehicles and construction trailers may be stored: . (Ord. 6(1982)§ 2a: Ord. 33(1981] § 1: Ord. 2(1976) § 3 (part): Ord. 8(1973) § 24.300.) . 18.34.040 -Accessory Uses A. Minor arcade. (Ord. 6(1982) § 2b: Ord. 33(1981) § 1: Ord. 2(1976) § 3 (part): Ord. 8(1973) § 24.400.) IV. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE With the addition of temporary construction staging as a conditional review in this zone district, staff believes it may help facilitate redevelopment within the Town. In the past, some projects which have been renovated have used Town-owned land for the staging area. Now that the . Ford Park site is no longer available, staff believes another option should be provided. This proposal would offer an alternative for staging, but would not create uncontrollable impacts. The change in the zoning code, as it is proposed, will allow the construction staging only as a conditional use. Therefore, the Planning and Environmental Commission will always have the opportunity to review any proposed staging site. During the review, the PEC can place conditions on the request to ensure the proposed use will be compatible with adjacent properties, if the proposed amendment is approved. The Sonnenalp is planning to return to the PEC on April 13, 1992 for a conditional use hearing on the West Day Lot site. 2 w~ V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Given the fact that this use is allowed only after approval of the conditional review, staff believes the code change will have few, if any, unmitigated negative impacts. The positive effects are that the Town will be providing an option for construction staging to those who undertake large renovation projects in the Town, while also allowing for PEC review to ensure the community is not negatively impacted. c:\peclso ne nalp\zon ecode.309 3 s ORDINANCE NO. 4 Series of 1992 AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REENACTING CHAPTER 18.34 OF THE VAIL MUNICIPAL CODE, ADDING CONSTRUCTION STAGING SITES AS A CONDITIONAL USE.

West Vaii, C.'O 81657 APPEAL TO THE TOWN COUNCIL Project: Schmidt Residence Lot G-1, Lion's Ridge Filing 1 On February 19, 1992, the design review board denied our application to separate primary and secondary units. We have the current situation of a very steep site and an existing single family residence on a Primary/Secondary lot. We interpret the Ordinance 18.54.050 Section I to indicate that units may be separate if site constraints exist. The-DRB took the position that only garages may be separate from the units. We believe that if you read the ordinance you will agree with us. Please schedule the Schmidt project at the next available meeting.

Satellite dish antennas on or attached to existing structures shall be permitted provided the satellite _ . dish antenna is architecturally integrated into the structure. Effective use of color shall be required to ensure compatibility between the satellite dish antenna and existing structure. The use of a mesh material shall be strongly encouraged when attempting to integrate a satellite dish antenna onto an existing structure. _ 6. Landscaping or other site improvements intended to screen a satellite dish antenna proposed on any . - application shall be completed prior to the issuance of a building permit to install a satellite dish antenna. A letter of credit equal to~ one hundred twenty-five percent of the costs of installing landscaping or site improvements may be submitted to the Town of Vail if seasonal weather conditions prohibit the installation of landscaping or site improvements. 7.

A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space substan- tially above grade. Unified architectural and land- scape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and garages _ on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made by the design review board. Significant site constraints shall be defined as. natural features of a lot such as stands of mature trees,. natural drainages, stream courses . and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing struc- tures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage from a unit. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to request a determination from the design review board as to whether or not a_ . site has significant site constraints before. final design work on the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal . based on review of the site, a detailed survey 'of the lot (to include information as outlined in Section 18.54.040 C,1 a.) and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s). The duplex and primary/ secondary development . may be designed to accommodate the development of dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the design review board determines that ~ . significant site constraints exist on the lot.
