EXPANDED AGENDA 2:00 P.M. 1. Discussion Re: Alpine design with the Vail Town Council, Planning
Kristan Pritz and Environmental Commission, and the Design Review Board.
Jeff Winston
' Backqround Rationale: Recerttly, there has been redevelopment
in Lionshead that has brought up the issue of what is appropriate
alpine design for the Lionshead mall, particularly given the more cornemporary character of Lionshead. This discussion is
organized with the hope of reaching a consensus on the design
direction for Lionshead. Please review the Lionshead Urban
Design Considerations and Urban Design Guideplan and
Commercial Core II Zoning, which are all applicable to
redevelopment in the mall.
4:30 P.M. 2. Discussion Re: Draft Ordinance No.10, Series of 1994, re: Paricing
Mike Rose Pay in Lieu Fee Increase.
i
Action ReQUested of Council: Adopt the increase from $8,594.40
to $10,000.00.
Backqround Rationale: The cost of parking spaces has
increased. This ordinance would reduce the subsidy provided for
parking. (The draft ordinance will be available to you at Wor1c
Session.)
Staff Recommendation: Approve the increase.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FR: Paul Johnston
RE: Lionshead Worksession
DT: April 25, 1994
I regret my absence from the April 26 Work session because I feel it is important to share rny
perspective with you on this topic. Therefore this memo.
I believe one of our primary responsibilities as a council is for the systems that are in place,
or to be put in place by which staff, citizens and council interact. Our priorirization for
implementing systems should first be for the health, safety and welfare of the community as
well as for the economic viability. Hopefully such prioriries would also contribute to a more
intense spirit of community (one citizen recommended that the council read The Spirit of
Community by Amitai Etzioni).
Council clearly has the power to make rules (we say - no metal roofs, no exposed concrete
walls, any remodeling over 10% of a building will require total "Bavarianization" of said
building) but we must keep in mind that every rule has tentacles that reach beyond the
immediate object of said rule. Classic examples of such possible conflicts lie within the
Lionshead Design Considerations:
Page 1- Notwithstanding, where compatible with existing building, a limited variety of
massing of expansion is encouraged to avoid the monotony of continuous one story
expansions.
Page 3- DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Lionshead architectural style is noriceably
absent of any reference to historical or geographical styles (old west, Georgian, Swiss
village, etc). The challenge in Lionshead is to develop vitality, visual interest and
pedestrian scale within a contemporary architectural expression.
Page 5- ROOFS- Gable roof forms are more tradirional and should be avoided in
Lionshead for expansion. It is more important to integrate expansions with existing
buildings so as to avoid patchwork, 'tacked on' quality for Lionshead. It is hoped that all
expansions will appear to have been part of the original design of each building.
Page 9- WALL/STRUCTURE - C.1 Concrete, concrete block, glass, metal stucco and
wood are the primary materials to be encouraged in Lionshead. "

These are guidelines that were intended to facilitate implementation of systems already put in
place for the benefit of the community. How does our "system" contemplate such
implementation? T'he building code under states the following:
18.26.045-A. "the alteration of an existing building which adds or removes any enclosed
floor area or the replacement of an existing building sha11 be subiect to review bv the
planning and environmental commission as follows:"
18.26.045-B. "the modification or change to the exterior facade of a building on a site
within CC2 sha11 be reviewed bv the design review Board in accordance with the .
following:"
Then, the remainder of Section 18 provides parameter by which these boards can make their
decisions. In addition Town Councils have provided tools like the Urban Design Guide Plan
to facilitate said boazds making appropriate decisions consistent with what the Council ~
believes to be in the best interest of the Town. Notwithstanding, these decision making tools
can obviously reach beyond their presumed definitions.
The only other point I would like to make to add to or to srimulate discussions has to do with
the Council's decision to embrace Tota1 Quality Improvement as a means to better serve the
community. The genesis for success in this program lies in the Council's commitment to
empowering the staff and town employees and to give them ownership of the decision making
processes. This will require conrinued delegation of authority, the acceptance(full
consideration) of team conclusions by those most involved, are knowledgeable of the facets
related to their areas of expertise and who are in the trenches working with our citizens.
From my experience with Town of Vail Councils there is a history of adding to existing rules
followed by a subsequent mix of Councilpersons who are not totally comfortable with the
implementation of said rules and thereby add a bit more to the rules without understanding
the far reaching affect of such "add-ons". Hopefully there will be different alternatives
forthcoming from your discussions today. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
P.S. RE MANOR VAIL - I think an appropriate solution would be to close the sidewalk
access to Vail Valley Drive at the SW corner of Manor Vail building. This is a blind corner
to Westbound traffic and is very dangerous.

wood are the primary materials to be encouraged in Lionshead.
These are guidelines that were intended to facilitate implementation of systems already put in
place for the benefit of the community. How does our "system" contemplate such
implementation? The building code under states the following:
18.26.045-A. "the alteration of an exisring building which adds or removes any enclosed
floor area or the replacement of an existing building shall be subiect to review bv the planning and environmental commission as follows:"
18.26.045-B. "the modification or change to the exterior facade of a building on a site
, within CC2 shall be reviewed bv the design review Board in accordance with the
following:"
Then, the remainder of Section 18 provides parameter by which these boazds can make their
decisions. In addition Town Councils have provided tools like the Urban Design Guide Plan
to facilitate said boards making appropriate decisions consistent with what the Council
believes to be in the best interest of the Town. Notwithstanding, these decision making tools
can obviously reach beyond their presumed definitions.
The only other point I would like to make to add to or to stimulate discussions has to do with
the Council's decision to embrace Total Quality Improvement as a means to better serve the
community. The genesis for success in this program lies in the Council's commitment to
empowering the staff and town employees and to give them ownership of the decision making
processes. This will require conrinued delegation of authority,,the acceptance(full
consideration) of team conclusions by those most involved, are knowledgeable of the facets
related to their areas of expertise and who are in the trenches working with our citizens.
From my experience with Town of Vail Councils there is a history of adding to existing rules
followed by a subsequent mix of Councilpersons who are not totally comfortable with the
implementation of said rules and thereby add a bit more to the rules without understanding
the far reaching affect of such "add-ons". Hopefully there will be different alternatives
forthcoming from your discussions today. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
P.S. RE MANOR VAIL - I think an appropriate solution would be to close the sidewalk
access to Vail Valley Drive at the SW corner of Manor Vail building. This is a blind corner
to Westbound traffic and is very dangerous.
