Backqround Rationale: On April 11, 1994, the PEC voted 4-0-1 (with Greg
Amsden abstaining) recommending approval of the requested rezoning and minor
subdivision. There are several letters from neighbors which are included in the
packet. During Council Work Session on April 12, 1994, Council called up the
minor subdivision request. Council approved the minor subdivision on May 3,
1994, with a 4-3 vote and made it contingent upon approval of the rezoning.
On May 3, 1994, Council approved the rezoning on first reading with a 5-2 vote.
In addition to the ten conditions of approval listed in the PEC memo, Council
added four more conditions to the plat, including:
1. No 250 square foot additions shall be allowed for any dwetling unit on this
parcel.
2. A homeowner's association shall be established prior to the issuance of
a TCO to insure maintenance of the common area.
3. The deed restrictions for the three employee housing units shall include
language requiring the units to be rented, and requires the rental rate be
comparable to market rates.
4. The maximum GRFA allowed on this site shall be 25,900 square feet.
Staff has attached a list of all theconditions which will be placed on the plat.
Issues such as the construction of the sidewalk and construction of the employee
housing units are identified in that list.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 5, Series
of 1994, on second reading at the Tuesday, May 17, 1994, Vail Town Council
Evening Meeting. No action needs to be taken on the subdivision as that was
approved by Council on May 3, 1994.

1. BACKGROUND
On June 3, 1992, the Design Review Board (DRB) reviewed the Ore House application to
install a permanent awning across the front of the restaurant. The awning would be
approximately 12 feet deep and 55 feet long along the west side of the Clock Tower Building
adjacent to Bridge Street. The DRB members voted to approve the Ore House awning
application by a 3-2 margin. The Town Council called this item up at the June 16, 1992 Town
Council meeting. Shelly Mello reviewed the opinions of the various DRB members and why
they voted for or against the application. Sherry Dorward voted for the application stating that
the awning would extend the use of the deck and add vitality to the area. Ned Gwathmey and
Gena Whitten opposed the awning stating that it would enclose and narrow Bridge Street to
an unacceptable level and would not comply with several Vail Village Design Considerations.
Following the review of DRB opinions, Peggy Osterfoss stated that she also felt that several
Design Guidelines had not been met, specifically, there was not a varied height, there was no
irregular street edge, and the suNshade issue on the deck had not been adequately
addressed. After some discussion, Merv Lapin moved to uphold the DRB decision. Bob
Buckley seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion was defeated 3-4 with Jim
Gibson, Jim Shearer, Tom Steinberg and Peggy Osterfoss in opposition. Following further
discussion, Merv Lapin moved to modify the DRB's approval to a one year temporary approval
with the contingency that Larry Eskwith draft a written agreement between the applicant and
the Town establishing temporary approval and allowing the Town to request the removal or
modification of the awning at the end of one year. A removal or modification request would
need to be based on the determination that the installation did not meet the Vail Village
Design Considerations. Bob Buckley seconded the motion, a vote was taken, and the motion
passed 4-3 with Jim.Shearer, Tom Steinberg and Peggy Osterfoss opposed. A copy of the
minutes are attached.
On March 8, 1994, at Council's request, staff reviewed the awning agreement and brought the '
findings to the Town Council. Staff's memo stated that the Town Council had until January
18, 1995 to review and require modifications or removal of the awning. A copy of the March
8, 1994 memo is attached.

II. VAIL VILLAGE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Attached to this memorandum are the pertinent sections of the Vail Village Design
Considerations. These considerations shouid be used to guide any decision regarding a
modification or removal request for the Ore House awning. The major points to consider are
as follows: _
"•Street Enclosure - An external enciosure is most comfortabie when its walls are
virtually half as high as the width of the space enclosed. If the ratio falls to a quarter
or less, the space seems unenclosed: If the height is greater than the width, it comes
to resemble a canyon. When exceptions to the general height criferia occur, special •
design consideration should be given to creating well defined ground floor pedestrian
emphasis to overcome scale problems. Canopies, awnings, and building extensions
can all create a pedestrian focus and divert attention from the buildings.
•Street Edqe - Buildings in the Village Core should form a strong but irregular edge to
the street. Plazas, patios and green areas are important focal points for gathering,
resting and orienting and should be distributed throughout the Village with
consideration to spacing, sun access, opportunities for views, and pedestrian activity.
•Views and Focal Points - When evaluating a development proposal, priority should be
given to an analysis of the impact of the project on views. Views that should be
preserved originate from other major pedestrian areas or public spaces.
•Sun/Shade - On all but the warmest summer days, shade can easily lower
temperatures below comfortable levels and thereby negatively impact use of those
areas. All new or expanded buildings should not substantially increase the spring and
fall shadow pattern on adjacent properties or the public right-of-way.
•Decks and Patios - Decks and patios, when properly designed and sited, bring people
to ihe streets. A review of successful decks and patios in Vail reveal the following
common characteristics: -
•Direct sunlight from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
~•Elevated feet to give views into pedestrian area.
•Physical separation from pedestrian walk.
•Overhang gives pedestrian scale/shelter.
Decks and patios should be sited and designed with due consideration to sun, wind,
views and pedestrian activity."
•Accent Elements - The life, and festive quality of the Village is given by judicious use
of accent elements which give color, movement and contrast to the Village. Colorful
accent elements consistent with existing character are encouraged, such as awning.
and canopies.

Staff has reviewed the Ore House awning agreement executed between the owners of the
Ore House and the Town of Vail. The agreement states that:
"the Town Council shall have one year after the final Building Department
inspection of the awning to demand modification of the awning design or the
~ removal of the awning." `
The awning was installed by the Ore House in late April or May of 1993. It appears from a
review of the permanent file that the Ore House never called for a final inspection on the
awning. After a routine review of the files and activities, the Building Department discovered
the need for a final inspection, and completed that inspection on January 18, 1994.
Thus, the Town has until January 18, 1995 to demand the modification or removal of
the awning. Such a demand is required to be in writing and must date the modifications that
are required by the Town Council or the demand for removal of the awning.

approving the installation of an awning located on the west side of the Clock Tower Buildi.ng (Gorsuch
building) for the Ore House Restaurant, 232 Bridge Street, Lot A, Block 5, Vail Village First Filing.
Shelly Mello gave a brief overview of the project, stati.ng the owners of the Ore House R.estaurant made
a request to lacate a green awning approximately 12' in depth with a combined length of bb' along the
west side of the Clock Tower Building adjacent to Bridge Street. The Design Review Board voted 3-2
to approve the request, with Sherry Dorward citing in her motion the installation would extend the use
of the deck and add vitality to the area. Ned Gwathmey and Gena Whittea of the DARB cpposed the
motion, 5.ndi.ng that although the request did conform with a number of the Vail Village Design
Considerations, it would enclose and narrow Bridge Street to a.n unacceptable level and would not comply"
with several of the Vail Village Design Considerations. Ore House owners Larry Anderson and John
Beaupre presented their project and stated they had full support from .David Gorsuch, the building
owner. Rod Slifer, owner of the adjacent building, stated he was concerned with the permanency of the
year•round awning and the protrusion of the buildi.ng into the street. Peggy Osterfoss said several
Design Guideli.nes had not been met, speci.fically, there was no varied height, no irregular street edge,
a.nd Lbe sun and shade issue on the deck had not been adequately addressecL. After fiuther discussion,
Merv Lapin moved to uphold the DRB decision. Bob Buckley seconded that motion. A vote was taken
and the motion was defeated, 3-4, with Jim Gibson, Jim Shearer, Tom Steinberg, and Peggy 4sterfos

written agreement between the applicant and the Town regarding this temporary approval as it relates

VAIL VILLAGE
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
. ,
Orfgtnal Date June 11, 1980
Revised January 15, 1993
. INTRODUCTtON
Backqround ,
rThese Design Considerations are,an integrat part of the Vail Village Urban Design
Plan. The F1an as a whole is the culmination of many month's effort by residents,
. merchants, Town staff, and consultants to develop a mechanism to manage physical
change in the Village. It is an attempt to identify aspects of the physical
character of,the Yil]age and to assure as far as possible that future changes
will be consistent with the established character, and will make positive con-
tributions to the quality of life.
Vail was originally conceived as a mountain resort in the pattern of quaint
European alpine village. It remains fairly faithful to that image today,
because of the comnibnent of its early founders to that concept. However,
recent rapid growth, both in size and popularity, has introduced new pressures
for development, which many feel threaten the unique qualities from which that
success has been derived. There are rapidly increasing land values and resulting
pressures to expand existing buildings, infill parcels, and even total7y re-
develop parceis less than 15 years old. This pressure for growth has brought
with it the potential for significant change. flew materials, new architectural styles, the premiurri on land usage, and sheer numbers of people and cars all
have potentially major impacts on the character and function of Vail.
That is not to imp]y that all growth and change in Vail is negative. There are
many areas that are underdeve7oped. The actual area of Vaii that gives it its
• unique character is but a small area of the Village. There are definitely
oppoctunities to extend the character of the Core beyond its current limits.
These Design Considerations, and the Urban Design P]an as a whole, are intended
to guide growth and change in ways that will enhance and preserve the essential
qualities of Vail Village. This character, while inspired to a degree by
E-uropean models, has evolved into a distinctly local interpretation. Any
standards, in the end, must be based upon Vail's obvn unique characteristics.
and potential now. To preserve this character, care must be taken to avoid both
new architectural prototypes, and historical ones, local or foreign, which do
not share the same design vocabulary. These Design_Considerations are a
recognition that there is a distinctive design character to the Yillage and
that this character is important to preserve.
The Design Considerations . .
The characteristics identified herein, are first of all, descriptions of the
primary form-giving physical features of the Village: They are not exhaustive.
They are a description of those key elements without which the image of Vai1
would be noticeably different. They are divided into two major categories:
i .
;•Urban DesiQn Considerations
General, large-scale land use planning issues, as well as form considerations
- which affect more than one property (or even whole areas). These considerations
are primarily !he purview of the Planning and Environmental Cortmission. This
Comnission also has review responsibilities for additional zoning code compliance
such as density control, pnrking, etc.
Architecture/Landscape Considerations Detai.l, details, style and overall appropriateness of a design for a given site.
These considerations are reviewed primarily by the Design Review Board (DRB).
. Below is a general checklist of ma3or issues and concerns which the applicant
must address in the course.of.the review_process. Each of the following items
should be addressed at least briefly in any application hearing or submittal:

Secondly,.the design considerations are intended to serve as guideline design ~parameters. They are not seen as rigid ruies, or "cookbook design elements" to
bring about a homogeneous appeararice in Yail. Rather, they are a statement of
.interpretation, subscribed to by the Town Planning/Environmental Commission and
Review Board, as to the present physical character and objectives of the Yillage.
They are intended to enable the Town staff and citizen review boards to more
clearly communicate to property owners planning and design ob3ectives, and allow
property owners in town to respond=in general cortformance or to clearly demonstrate
why departures are warranted. Finally, these guidelines are intended to help infiuence the form and design of
buildings, not to establish minimum b.uilding volumes:. Often more than one .
criteria applies to a.given situation e.g. Building lieight, Enclosure, Views and
Sun/Shade - all are concerns applicable to building height and massing - and
they may be mutually conflicting if 3udged on equal terms. It is the role of
the review boards, together with the applicant, to determine the re7ative
importance of each eonsideration for a given situation. They then nust apply
those considerations to assure that a ba]ance is achieved between the rights
of the public and private sectors.

URBAN DESIGN
+CONSIDERATIONS

A. PEDESTRI,4NIZATION .
All new or expansion construction should
anticipate the appropriate level of " pedestrianization adjacent to the site. A major objective for Vail Village is
to encourage pedestrian circulation through an interconnected network of
safe, pleasant pedestrian ways. Many
of the improvements recogni2ed in the
Urban Design Guide Plans, and
accompanying Design Considerations,
are to reinforce and expand the
quality to pedestrian walkways
throughout the Village.
Since vehicular traffic cannot be
removed from certain streets (bus .
routes, delivery atcess) a totally
car-free pedestrian system is not ~
achieveable throughout the entire Village. Therefore several levels . of pedestrianization are proposed: • ~ . . .
1• pedestrian-only streets

C. STREETSCAPF FRAMEWORK
To improve the quality of the walking
experience and give continuity to
the pedestrian ways, as a continuous
system, two general types'of improve-
ments adjacent to the walkways are
considered:
1. Open space ~ landscaping -
berms. 9rass, f)owers and
tree planting as a soft,
calarful framework Unkage ~
alon Vtdestrian routes;
and piazas and park green -
spaces-as open nodes and ~
focal..points along those roubes, -
' 2. Inf111 conmercial storefronts - r
' expansion.of existing buildings, '
or new infil T development to create new commercial activity generators to gi ve street 1 i fe .
and visual interest, as attrac-
. tions at key locations along
pedestrian routes.
:
3
It is not intended 4o enclose all - •
Village streets with buildings, as in -
the Core Area. Nor is it desireable to leave pedestrian streets in the open • and somewhat undefined condition evident in many other areas of Yail.
Rather, it is desired to have a
Variety of,open and enclosed spaces,
. bath built and. l.andscaped rrhich create a sb-ong framework for
` pedestrian walks as Mell as visual -
interest and atti vi ty.
D. STRFET EWCLOSURE
Mlhile. building facade heights should '
not be uniform from bui]ding to
building, they should provide a - 4"
. - :
"comfortable" enclosure for the
. street. r
•
Pedestrian streets are outdoor rooms .
. .
whose walls are formed by the buildings. ~
The shape and feel of these 'rooms'
are created by the variety of heights `
and massing (th ree-dimensional vari-
ati ons ) whi ch gi ve much of the vi sual
interest and pedestrian scale unique
to Vail. '
Very general rules, about the perception
of exterior spaces have been developed
(empirically) by designers, based on
the characteristics of human vision.
They 'suggest that:
Kan external enclosure is most --comfortable where its walls are
,
approximately h as high as the ~
aidth of the space enclosed; •
I
if the n tio fa11s to U or 1ess, the space'seems unenclosed; and
.
y~ . . , .
if the height is greater than the _
wi dth. i t comes to resembl e a ,
canyon. .
.
!
4
In actual application, facades are .
_ seldom unifArm in height on both sides
pf the street, nor is this desired. ,
Thus, some latitude is appropriate
in the application of this h - to - 1
• ratio. Using the averaQe facade height y IL "
• of bath sides Nill generally st311
be a guide fo the "comfortableness" of tfie enclosvre being created. , x

r.
: In some instances, the 'cinyon' effect
is acceptable and even desirab]e
for example, as a short-connecting
. linkage between larger spaces - to
give variety to the walking experience.
• For sun shade r
/ easons, it is often
advantageous to orient any longer '
segments in a north-south direction. Id
Long canyon streets in an east-west b 8.
' direction should generaliy be
discouraged. '
_ , .
When exceptions to the general height
criteria occur, special design con-
sideration should be given to creating pP ~
a well-defined ground floor pedestrian ~ ' .
emphasis to overcome the canyon effect. ~4DlI
. ,
Canopies, awnings, arcade and 6
building extensions can a?1 create
a pedestrian focus and divert
attention from upper building
heights and 'canyon' effect.

E. STREET EDGE -
Buildings in th e Yillage Core should
form a strong but irregular edge to
the street.
ti - -
Unlike many American towns there are no -
standard setback requirements for
buildings in Vail Yillage. Consistent with the desire for intimate pedestrian ~
scale, placement of portions of a oll
? .
building at or near the property
line is allowed and encouraged to give ~3• ~ ~
strong definition to the pedestrian
streets.
b~v
This is not to imply continuous
building f rontage along the property
iine. A strong street edge is ~
important for continuity, but
perfectly aligned facades over too
long a distance tends to be ~
monotonous. With only a few
exceptions in the Yillage, slightly ,
irregular facade lines, building ~
jogs, and 7andscape areas, give
life to the street and visual
interest'for pedestr.ian travel. tij

F. BUIIDING HEIGHT
Basically,.the Village Core is perceived as a mix of twa and three story
facades,.although there are also four and five story buildings. 7he mix
of building heights oives variety to the street--which is desirable. The
height criteria are intended te encouraoe height and r:sssing variety and
to discourage unifer.m building heights along the street.
The dffinition of height shall be as it is in the Vail ldunicipal Cede. Building -
height restrictions in Co,r.mercial Core I shall be as follows:
1. Up to 601. of the building (building coverage area) rray be built to a
height of 33 fEet ar iess.
2. Ho more th3n 400 of the building (building coverage area) may be higher
' than 33 feet, but not higher than 43 feet.
3. 7ewers. spires. cupolas, chinr,eys. flagpoles, nnd similar architecturnl
features not usearle as Gross Residentia7 floor Area may extend above
the height limit n distance of no` more than twenty-five percent of
the height limSt ncr more thnn fifteen feet. .
4. The above heights are based on an assurned 3 feet in 12 feet or 4 feet
in 12 feet roof pitches. To accomnodaie and enceurage steeper roof
pitches (up to 6 feet in 12 feeL), slight, proportionate height increnses
could be granted.so long as the height of building side aalls is noL
increased (see diagram following).

- G. VIEWS AND FOCAL PO(NTS
. Vail's mountaiNval(ey setting'is a -
_ fundamental part of its identity.
Views of the mountains, skt stopes, .
' creeks and other natural features .
_ are reminders of the mountain
environment and, by repeated : .
visibility, are orientation reference points. Certain building teatures
aiso provide Important.orientation references and visual focal points. The most significant view comdors
have been adopted as part of
Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipai
Code. The view corridors adopted
should not be considered
exhaustive. When evaluating a
development proposai, priority
should be given to an analysis of
the impact of the project on views.
Views that should be preserved
originate from either major
pedestrian areas or public spaces,
and include views of the ski
mountain, the Gore Range, the
Clock Tower, the Rucksack Tower
and other important man-made and - -
natural elements that contribute to
the sense of piace associated with = Vail. These views, which have
been adopted by ordinance, were ; chosen due to their significance, not only from an aesthetic standpoint,
but aiso as orientation reference ~
points for pedestrians.

. H. SERVICE AND DELIVERY
Any building expansion should
= preseroe the functions of existing
service alleys. '
The few service atleys that exist in .
the ViIlage are extremely importarit to minimizing vehicle congestion on
,
pedestrian ways. The use of, and
. vehicular access to, those alieys .
should not be eliminated except
where functional, aitematives are provided. . .
In all new and remodeled - construction, delivery which avoids
or reduces impacts on pedestrian ways should be explored; and
adopted whenever practical, for immediate or future usage. Rear
access, basement, and below-
ground delivery corridors reduce
congestion. Weather protection tncreases delivery efficiency
substantially.
Below grade delivery corridors are
found in a few buildings in Vail
Viliage (SitrmarWGore Creek Plaza, .
Village Center, Vail Village Inn).
Consideration should be given to .
extending these cortidors where
feasible and the creation oi new
ones. As buildings are constructed
or remodeled, the opportunity may
. exist to develop segments of a-
future system.

ARCHITECTUR E/LAND S CAPE
= CONSIDERATIONS .
ROOFs
Where visible, roofs are often Dne of
the most dominant architectural elements
in any bui)t environment. In the Village -
roof fo nn, co7or and texture are visibly ~
dorinant, and generally consistent, ahich
tends to unify the building diversity to
a grea± degree. •
The current expression, and objettive, -
for roofs in the Viliage is to form •
a consistently unifying barkdrop for
the architecture and pedQStrian . .
streetscape, and to avoid roofs which '
tend to stand out individually or
distract visua)ly from the overal]
character. • '
Roof Forms Roofs within the Yillage are typically •
gable in form and of moderate-to-low . •
pitch. Shed roofs are f requently
used for small additions to larger
buildings. Free-standing shed roofs, butterfly roofs and flat
roofs, can be found in the Yillage
but they are•generally considered
to be o.ut of character and inapprop- riate. Hip roofs likewise are rare
and genera7ly incon`sistent with the
character of the Core Area,. Towers
nre exceptions, in both form and .
pitch, to the general.criteria, but ; -
do have an established local
veinacular style which should be
respected. Q '
. 12
Pitch
Roof slopes in the VIllage typically -1' range from 3/12 to 6/12, Nith slightly
steeper pitches in limited applications.
Again, for visual consistency this
general 3/12-6l12 range should be Sj1L40 preserved. (See Construction below.)
Overhanqs
6enerous roof overhangs are also an .
established architectural feature in
the Village - a traditional expression
of shelter in alpine environments.
Roof overh'angs typically range from
3 to 6 feet on all edges. Specific
design consideration should be given ~
to protection of pedestrian ways
. adjacent to buildings. Tee falls,
snow slides, and runoff hazards can . .
be reduced by roof orientation,
gutters, arcades, etc.
~ Overhang details are treated with
varying degrees of ornamentation. - Structural elements such as roof beams •
are expressed beneath the overhangs,
simply or decoratively carved. The ~
roof fascia is thick and wide, giving Ya~ ~+y
a substantial edge to the roof. erYo~
Compositions
The intricate roofscape of the Yillage
as a whole is the result of many in-
dividual simple roof configurations.
For any single building a varied but -
simple comPosition of roof planes is preferred to either a single or a
complex arrangement of many roofs. As ja,,9c suv~ rwf P?~,e ff~ ~»r~
individual roofs become more complex
the roof attracts visual attention
away from the streapbusnde rtotal:
ather
roofscape tends toward Yness .
Lhan a backdrop composition. , 4plia rw{
- ' Pl~eS
13
_
Stepped Roofs
As buildings are stepped to reflect exis'ting grade changes, resulting roof steps should be made where the height change will.be visually significant. _
Yariations which are too subtle appear
tb De more stylistic than functional,
• and out of character with the more-
straight-f.orward roof design typical
in the Village.
WK.
Materials
wood-shakes, Nood shingles, and built-
up tow and gravel are almost exclusivel~
used as roof materials in the Village.
(See Construction below.) For visual. ~
consistency any other materials should
have the appearance of the abave. .
Construction
Comnon roof problems and design con-
siderations in this climate include:
- snowslides onto pedestrian walks
- gutters freezing
- roof dams and wnter infiltration - heavy snow loads
Careful attention to these functional
details is recomnended, as well as -
familiarity with the local building
code, proven construction detnils,
and town ordinances.. .
For built-up roofs, pitches of 4/12 .
or steeper do not hold gravel well.
For shingle roofs, pitches of 4/12
or shallower often result in ice dnms and backflow lenkage under
the shingles. .
, 14
Co1d-roof construction is strongly , prefefired, unless warm-raof benefits a~r~{
for a specific application can be ~!r liWt .
demonstrated. Cold-roofs are double- roofs which insulate and prevent snow ~JYc~
mel t. from i nternal bui l ding heat. Sy -
retaining snow on the roof, many of
the problems listed can be Peduced.
Perio'dic snow removal will be required

FACADES
Materials
- Stucco, brick, wood (and glass) are the
primary building materials found in the , - _
YilTage. Whiie aot wishing to restrict ,
design freedom over-much, existing
- tonditions show that within this small range of materials asuch variation and
- individuality are possible wfiile pre- •
serving a basic hamny. Too many
diverse materials weaken the continuity
and repetition which unifies the street- scape. -
Of the above materials,stucco is the
most consistently used material.
Most of the buildings in the Village
exhibit some stucco, and there are
virtually no areas where stucco is • .
, entirely absent. It is intended to
preserve the dominance of stucco-by
its use in portions, at least, of all
new facades, and by assuring that other
materials are not used to the exclusion
of stucco in any sub-area within the
Village. = -
Color _
There is greater 7atitude in the use of color in the Village, but still a
discernible consistency within a general
range of colors. for wood surfaces, trim or siding, darker color tones are preferred - Drowns, greys,
blue-greys, dark o7ive, slate-greens, etc.
Stucco colon are generally light - white,
beige, pale-gold, or other light pastels.
Other light colors could be appropriate,
as considered on a case-by-case basis. Bright colors (red, orange, blues, maroon, etc.) should be avoided for
maJor wall planes, but can be used
effectively (with restraint) for
decorative trim, wnll raphics, and
. other accent elements isee E. Accent Elements)
16
Generally, to avoid both "busyness", snd weak visual interest, the variety of I
major wall colors (and materials ° • I
excluding glass) should not exceed fou r
plii 'f I
nor be less than two.
:
. , A color/material change between the ' . _ ground floor and upper floors is a _ . comnon and effective reinforcement
of the pedestrian scale of the street. Transparency Pedestrian scale is created in many ways, but a major factor is the openness,
attractiveness, and generally public -
character of the ground floor facade
of adjacent buildings.\ Transparent -
store fronts are "people attractors ,
opaque or solid walls are more private,
imply "do not approach". -
On pedestrian-oriented streets such as uP~er la~r5 Prr~a~+tnak~7
i n the Vi 11 age, ground fl oor commerci al 3 ~ dPaqoe wjW,,4AoP PW??r,~v
facades are proportionately more trans- us• ,
parent than upper f]oors. Upper floors
are typcially more residential, private , -
and thus less open.

- The Lodge 66% - Golden Peak House 62%

- - Gorsuch Building 51%
Windows ,
In addition to the general degree of transparency, window details are an
important source of pedestrian sca]e- ,
giving elements. ' .
The si2e and shape of windows are often
a response to the function of the street
adjacent. For close-up, casual pedestrian
viewing windows are typically sized.to
human-siZed dimensions and characteristics
of human vision. (Large glass-wall store- ~
. fronts suggest uninterrupted viewing, as •
from a moving car. The sense of intimate
pedestrian scale is diminished.) Ground
floor display windows are typical]y
raised slightly 18 feet f and do not
extend much over 8 feet above th.e +val k-
'way level. Ground gloors which are noticeably above or below grade are exceptions. "

The a rti cul8ti on of the window i tsel f
is still another element in giving , rec ~lar
pedestrian scale (human-related dimensions).
G1 ass areas are usual ly subdi vi ded to , ; tevtccal
- express individual window elements - and are
further-subdivided by mullions into small
panes - which is responsible for much of the old-world charm, of the Yilinge. Similarly, windoNs are most often
clustered in banks, 3uxtaposed with =
plain wall surfaces.to give a pleasing '
rhythm. Horizontal repetition of single
window elements, especially over long El o
distances, should be avoided.
Large single pane wirtdows occur in the
Village, and provide some contrast, as
long as they are generally consistent
in form w ith other wi ndows . Long
continuous glass is out of character.

Like windows, doors are important-to '

elements. They should also be somewhat
transparent (on retail commercial
facades) and eonsistent in detailing

residences, lodges, restnurants, and
other non-retail establishments have different visibility and character
needs, and doors should be designed
accordingly. Sidelight windows are
also a means of introducing door-
transparency as a camplement or sub- stitute for door'windows.

ACCENT ELEMENTS
The 1'ife, and festive quality of the - Village is given by judicious use of -
accent elements which give col,or,
movement and contrast to the Village.
Colorful accent elements consistent with . ,
existing character aPe encouraged, such ,
as: Awnings and canopies - canvas, bright -
color or stripes of two colors. ,
Flags, banners - hanging from
buildings, poles, and even across
streets for special occasions.
Umbrellas - over tables on outdoor
. patios.
Annual color flowers - in beds or in
planters.
Accent lighting - buildings, plazas,
windows, trees (even Christmas - '
lights all winter).• , Painted wall graphics - coats of
arms, symbols, accent compositions,
etc.
Fountains - sculptural, with both winter and surrmer character. 25
LANDSCAPE ELEMEtVTS
Landscape considerations include, but
go beyond, the placement of appropriate plant materials. Landscape considerations
incl ude: - plant materials
- paving -
- retaining walls -
- street furniture (benches, kiosks, trnsh, etc.) .
- lighting _
- signage
~
?lant Materials
Opportunities for planting are not
extensive in the Village, which places
a premium on the plant selection and
design of the sites that do exist.
Framework planting of trees and shrubs
should include both deciduous and
evergreen species for year round -
continuity and interest.
NativQ plants are somewhat limited in
varie.ty, but are clearly best able to
Nithstand the harsh winter climate, and to tie the Village visually with
its mountain setting.
Some typical local plant materials
include:
Trees
Narrow-leaf cottonwood
Salsam poplar Aspen .
Lodgepole pine
Colorado spruce
Subalpine fir, . _ ,
Shrubs
31111 ow Dogwood Serviceberry
Alpine currant
Chokecherry
Mugho pine

` Pavin Tfi e freeze/thaw cycle at this altitude
. virtually eliminates common site-east
concrete as a paving surface (concrete
spall). High-strength concrete may
work in selected conditions. Asphalt
. brick (on concrete or on sand), and
concrete block appear to be best suited
to the area. ` In general, paving treatments should be ~
coordinated with that of the public
R.O.W: adjacent. The Town uses the '
follo+ring materials for all new tonstruction:
- asphalt - general use pedestrian
streets
- brick on concrete - feature areas '
(plazas, intersections, fountains,
etc.).
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls to raise planting area
often protetts the landscape from
pedestrians and snowplows, and should "
provide seating opportunities:
Two types of material are already well-
established in the Yillage and should
be utilized for continuity. - split-face moss rock reneer -
Village Core pedestrian streets .
(typical) .
- rounded cobble hidden mortar -
in open space areas if above type .
not already established nearby.
(example: Toan of Vail entry wall)
Wood retaining walls nre strongly dis-
couraged due to deterioration caused
by the harsh climate. They may be _
effectively used with appropriate . . .
detailing to resist rot and express
crafted joint conditions.

To Vail Town Council Members:
At this time I would like to be considered as a candidate to
fill a vacant seat on the Liquor Licensing Board. I grew up in
Vail and have an intimate knowledge of the resort. After I
graduated from college, I returned to Vail and continued to
accumulate experience in the local service industry. I have both
a working knowledge of the law and a vested interest in
maintaining its upkeep.
I have recently purchased a home in Vail and I will continue
to make Vail my permanent residence. My desire to become a
member of the board stems from an interest in becoming more
involved with the community I live in and the industry in which I
work. I look forward to interviewing with you in May.
Sincerely,

4. The driveways serving Building Footprint #1 shall be modified to reduce the
length by shifting the curb cut to the west. The Town Community
Development staff and the Town Engineer must approve the change prior
to any DRB hearing for any dwelling unit on this property.
5. The existing aspens located to the west of the green space area in the center
of the site shall be transplanted or replaced on a 1:1 ratio based on the caliper
of the existing trees. For example, and eight inch caliper tree would have to be
replaced with two 4 inch caliper trees. Staff believes this is reasonable since
larger trees do not transplant well according to the Town's Landscape Architect.
6. Staff may approve up to 10 foot shifts in building footprint location from
those shown on the plan approved by the Planning and Environmental
Commission on February 28, 1994 or April 11, 1994 as long as the 15 foot

RE: Pedotto Parcel Rezoning
, \I
The Pedotto parcel is being presented for your review and approval for rezoning.
The proposal shows 14 buildings They are being presented as affordable housing
for young families at approximately $315,000 for each home; but we feel that this
is somewhat out of the range of most young families and that, in fact, these homes
will become second homes. As a result we will have additional non-resident
owners. While we do not object to non-resident owners, we would like to see
InterMountain remain the last bastion of local ownership in the Vail Valley. At
this time the majority of the people who live in InterMountain are local and we feel
that retaining primary/secondaryzoning will maintain this permanent resident
nature of this neighborhood.
Although the present zoning allows for six primary/secondary duplexes on 6
15,000 sq. ft. lots; we feel that the size of these buildings would be more in
keeping with the surrounding area which consists of townhomes and condominiums
than 14 small alpine buildings that do not fit into the architecture of the
neighborhood.
As residents of InterMountain we would like to ask that you deny this request for
rezoning. We are very much aware that this area will be developed and we have
tried to give our input. It is of utmost concern to the residents of this neighborhood
that a formal traffic study be undertaken to actually laiow the amount of traffic that
is evident in this area. Seven road cuts off of K:innikinnick, which presently has
an exceptional amount of traffic seems to only add to the danger of negotiating the
streets in InterMountain.
,
With all due respect,
Residents of Vail/InterMountain

' 3rd May, 1994
Dear Vail Town Councilperson: •
I have been a bit overwhelmed recently by all of the irons I have in the fire so didn't
get the telephone calls made that I would have liked to make. I hope you will have
time to read this note, then, before making a decision on Ordinance No. 5, Series of
1994 (rezoning of Pedotto parcel).
While Ernie and I are not as affected by the rezoning as some of our neighbors may
be, we do feel that the number of buildings planned for the Pedotto Parcel is out of
porportion with the near neighborhood. True, there are a number of condominium and
townhouse projects across the street to the north of this parcel, but most of the
homes to the right, left, and behind the property (except for The Camelot) are single
family or primary/secondary homes. The ambiance of the area will certainly be lost.
Now when one crosses the bridge one appears to be driving into the forest; if this
project is allowed and completed, one might as well be driving into a Denver
Subdivision.
Some of my younger neighbors are concerned as to what the completion of this
project might do to real estate taxes. While we are in a position to handle an
increase, many of the young families who have recently purchased in the
neighborhood, while prices were down and interest rates low, may be very much
affected. Their ability to make the payments may be marginal, and they may be
forced out of the area down valley. ,
We would really hate to see this happen as we feel we need young families in this end
of the valley; they are,Vail's future.
Thank you for your time. I respectfully request that you consider all of the
ramifications of allowing a rezoning of this parcel before you make your decision.
Siricly, .

1. BACKGROUND
(Please note changes to the memo since the February 28, 1994 review are shown in
bold.) -
On February 28th, 1994, The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) voted 6-0-
1, with Greg Amsden abstaining, recommending approval of.the proposed rezoning.
There were several conditions that the PEC requested be added to the site ptan and the
plot. One of them pertained to the common access on the southwest corner of the site.
~ The applicant was required to get approval trom the adjacent properly owners
regarding the common access. This was to be done prior to first reading at Town
Council. The two owners to the southwest of this property have decided they did not
. want to share the common access. As a result, the applicant has redesigned the site
plan and provided access for building envelopes one and four from Kinnickinnick Road.
There are no new curb cuts. The two westernmost driveways have been extended
further into the site to provide access to these two envelopes.
~ 1
Because of the change in the site p1an, the applicant has been required to return to
PEC for a review of the changes. All other development issues remain as aqreed to bv
the PEC, staif, and the applicant durina the Februarv 28, 1994 hearinq The conditions
are,listed at the end of this memo. -
11. SIDMMARY OF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIOId
- Staff believes that the original site plan fs more comprehensive and addresses access
to neighboring properYies better than the site plan proposed at this time. Flowrever, we
believe that the developer of the Pedotto property should not be required to solve an
access issue in a rnanner that requires adjacent.property owners to approve the access
plan. Staff feels that the appiicant has done everything aeruthin his control to achieve
this sotution; however, the neighboring property owners have not been willing to
participate. Therefore, staff recommends that the Town allow either site plan to be
developed. Staff prefers the site plsn reviewed by the PEC on February 28, 1994 with
the shared access. However, staff does not believe that there are significant negative
impacts from the site plan under review for the Apr11 11, 1994 hearing and that it should
also be approved. .
111. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Juanita Pedotto, and her representative, Greg Amsden, would like to rezone a
. parcel of land in Intermountain from Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density Multi-
Family. If rezoned, the applicant is planning to construct nineteen dwelling units in fourteen
structures. The parcel of land is 2.49 acres. Of this, there are 2.36 acres that are considered
~ buildable by the Town of Vail standards.
In addition to a rezoning, the proposal includes a minor subdivision request. In the future, the
applicant intends to use the single family subdivision process to sell off the individual dwelling
units. Prior to this, however, the currently unptatted parcel must be platted as a iot. This
provides an opportunity to document building footprint locations, GRFA restrictions, and other
development standards on the plat. These standards will be fisted on the plat and will be
applicable to any developer as well as future home owners.
Since the previous worksession, the applicant has deleted one single family dwelling unit from
the site plan. Another change is that the building envelopes have been deleted and replaced
with specific building footprints. Previously, a prototypical footprint was shown within an
envelope. It measured 37 feet by 37 feet. The updated footprints have been increased to 40
by 54 feet for the larger type of unit and 38 by 30 feet for the smaller type.
The fooiprints will be a minimum of 15 feet apart. The applicant is requesting the ability to
shift the foo9prints as much as ten feet, if needed. Changes in footprint location would have to
be approved by the DRB. Fifteen feet of separation would have to be maintained for both the
structures and decks. The PEC approved these standards at the previous hearing on
, February 28, 1994. ~
2
`j
The current site plan proposed by the applicant is made up of nineteen dweiling units in
fourteen structures. Nine of these will be single family residences. Three of them will be
single family residences with a deed restricted caretaker unit located above the garage. Four
of the dwelling units will be located in two duplexes. The total number of structures would be
fourteen. Total GRFA for these dwelling units is anticipated to be 25,900 square feet. A site
plan is attached at the end of this memo which shows where these structures would be
located. The chart befow shows the break down of the structures and units:
Number of Units . Number of Shuctures
9 single family 9 9
3. single family with EHU's 6 3
2 duplexes 4 2
TOTAL: 19 14
The architect has designed three styles for the fourteen structures. These are shown in the
perspective attached at the end of the memo. Each type wi11 have the same materials, which
include a stucco first story and horizontal cedar siding on the second story. The roofs will be
shake shingles and will have clipped gables. There will be corbels to support the second
story cantitevers as well as the eaves. The windows will all have shutters to help create a
bavarian appearance. Though there are three different interior plans, the exterior mass and
bulk is almost identical for two of the units. Therefore, there will appear to be only two
different types of exteriors. The larger home, with the caretaker unit, will have.a footprint
measuring 40 feet by 54 feet. The smaller home will have a footprint measuring 38 feet by 30
feet.
The neighboring properties to the parcel under consideration include:
North: Columbine North
East: , Primary/Secondary development
South: Camelot Townhouses and single family development
West: Primary/Secondary development
The property to the, north and east is zoned Residential Cluster. The property to the south
and west is zoned Primary/Secondary. The Land Use Plan has designated the parcel under
consideration as Medium Density Residential, Per Land Use Plan, a range of seven to thirty-
three units is possible based on the 2.49 acres. This translates to three to fourteen dwelling
units per acre.
IV. BACKGROUND/FORMER REDUESTS •
In October of 1990, the Professional Development Corporation proposed employee housing
developments on several sites in the Town of Vail. The Pedotto site was one of them. In
their request, they proposed Medium Family Multi-Family (MDMF) zoning. In the memo dated
October 29, 1990, staff recommended that the app(icant reduce the number of units on this
site to LDMF densities and maintain the amount of GRFA on the site to RC standards. The
proposal for the site is shown belaw: ~ .

VI. RQONING CRITERIA
A. Suitabilitv of the proposed zonina
Staff's analysis of the suitability of the proposed zoning focuses on density,
compatibility with surrounding,developments, and ways that the proposed development
can be buffered from existing neighboring uses.
Staff recognizes that many of the suROUnding properties adjacent to this parcet are
multi-family complexes. The applicant has estimated their densities to exceed
Residentia! Cluster (RC) standards and staff has coniirmed this information. The
surrounding multi-family developments have densities that range from 11.3 dwelling
units per acre to 22.2 dwelling units per acre. Please see the chart below. There are
also surrounding single family and primary/secondary developments which have
densities that are lower than the proposal.
5
Nams Units qP" pensih,
Imerlocken 39 1.80 21.6
Columbine NoAh 16 .92 17.4 Flusaheim 4 ,24 13.8
Innsbrook 8 .36 22,2
Columbine West 7 .62 11.3
Camelot 8 ~ .36 22.2
Though the density of the suROUnding properties are higher than Residential Cluster,
the type of development (single family, duplex or multi-family) effects the way the
density appears on this site. For example, many of the developments are made up of
townhouses. Since the units are more compact than detached single family homes,
the structures do not cover as much of the site and are likely to have larger areas of
useable open space. Staff believes that the proposal should be modified to improve
the amount of useable open space, to reduce the amount of asphalt, and to increase
architectural variety within the clusters on the site.
.
Specifically, staff believes that Units 13 and 14, Units 7 and 8, and Units 1 and 2
. ' should be combined. The units to be consolidated, houvever, should be the smaller of
the two styles. At this time, the larger unit with the employee housing caretaker
apartment is shown in each of the three areas. We are concemed that the structures may be too large if triplexes are created. Therefore, cn addition to consolidating these
footprints, staff believes that the employee housing units should be shifted to other
footprints in the development. We believe that the variety of massing created by a
combination of units will help the development be more compatible with the
surrounding properties, as they have been developed in more of a townhouse style. In
addition, staff believes that the resulting open spaces will be larger and will be able to
accommodate additional tandscaping, particuiariy on the northeast, northwest and
central portions of the site.
. Landscaping is a key issue in staff's opinion; as the amount of density to be
considered under the rezoning proposal should be evaluated based on how it is
buffered from adjacent properties. Staff is primarily concemed about the perimeter of
the site.
At this time, the applicant has committed to the following:
1. Six clusters of aspen located around the perimeter of the project along
Bellflower and Kinnickinnick. These clusters range from three to eight
aspen each.
2. On the east end of the site, there will be Yen to twelve aspen along
Basingdale. '
6
:-t~ ' :3 , • ' ~ .
_'1 . • ' , ' 3. Two pianting areas of aspen made up of a total of fifteen to twen trees
will be located next to the Camelot Townhouses. ~
~ Staff understands that the drawings submitted to the Design Review Board (ORB) will .
include additional landscaping and that the landscaping shown on these plans reflects
- the basic landscaping needed to buffer adjacent properties. The landscaping listed
above must be incorporated into the DRB drawings and'must be planted prior to
- issuance of a final certificate of accupancy for the dwelling unit adjacent to the
landscaping.
, - •
Another key issue that relates to landscaping is the preseroation of the green space in
the center portion of the site. Since the last woricsession with the Pianning and •
. Environmental Commission (PEC), the applicant has had an environmental
assessment (EA) done for the wetland area This report is attached to the back of this
memo and delineates the boundary of the wetland area as well as a 10 foot buffer
: area along all sides of the wetlands. The map from the EA was drawn on the previous
plan which showed a building footprint within the buffer area. This has been corrected.
The revised location sites the building outside the buffer area. Staff believes that any
rezoning approval should be conditioned with a requirement that the consultant rehum
to the site in the spring or summer to confiRn that his analysis made during winter
months is accurate. Any modifications that would be generated by the consultant
would have to be inctuded into the site plan. Building footprints would have to be
shifted if the update indicates that they are located in the buffer area. lf the footprints
. need to be shifted, staff believes the project should be reconsidered by the PEC.
There are some large existing aspen in this area adjacent to the wetland area to the .
west. They range in size from two inch caliper to eight inch caliper. Staff believes that
any trees that can be transplanted should be. If they are to be cut down, they should
be replaced on a 1:1 ratio based on the caliper of the tree to be removed. For example, and eight inch cafiper tree would have to be replaced with two 4 inch caliper
trees. Staff believes this is reasonable since larger trees do not transplant well
according to the Town's Landscape Architect.
Staff understands that the applicant desires to change the zonrrtg from .
. Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density Multi Family to allow additional units,
. not necessarily more GRFA or site coverage. The applicant has agreed to reduce the
amount of GRFA to below Primary/Secondary standards and maintain the amount of
site coverage and height to Primary/Secondary standards. These restrictions will be
recorded as plat restrictions. Staff does not have a problem with the number of units if
they can be sited in such a way to provide adequate open space, buffering and
minimal site coverage. In order to achieve this, we believe a more clustered design
concept is necessary. We feel an adequate landscape plan has been provided, the
_ wettand area has been protected, and that unit iayout is good as tong as the units are
combined as suggested above.
. B. Is the Amendment Providina a Convenient Workabte Relationshio with Land : ,
Uses Consistent With Municioal Obiecfives?
. 7
Under-this criteria, staff has evaluated the rezoning proposal to ensure that it wili '
provide wrorkable relationships to those properties around the site. In addition, the
rezoning proposal must be consistent with the Municipa! pbjectives. Ensuring that the
future development will have a reasonabiy compatible relationship with the existing
neighborhood has been the focus of much of this review. On January 17, 1994, there
` was a neighbofiood meeting attended by approwmately thirty neighbors. Attached to
the memo are ali of the letters that have been received by staff from the neighbocs,
- The primary concerns of the neighbors seem to revolve around pedestrian safety and
tiraffic safery. Staff has contacted the Police Departrnent and the Pubfic Works -
Department since the neighborhood meeting to ask them to look at incxeasing patrol as
well as increasing the number of stop signs in the area This appears to be a problem
that needs to be solved independent of the rezoning issue.
However, the proposal will have some positive impact on these issues, since there will
, be pubfic improvements made by the developer. The Town is requiring the developer
to provide a sidewalk that will run the length of the property. The applicant is
proposing a 6 foot wide walk that will be detached from the edge of pavement on
Kinnickinnick. The Town is requiring that this be a hard surface wa(k that can be
maintained during winter months. It will be the responsibility of the homeowners
association to keep the walk clear. This is a Town wide requirement that applies to all
, developments that have adjacent sidewaiks. The appficant is proposing a cinder walk;
however, staff believes it musi be hard surface. Please see the plat restrictions at the
end of this memo regarding the sidewalk and other pub(ic improvements.
A concem related to safery invofves the number of curb cuts on Basingdale, Bellflower, and Kinnickinnick. Originally, the applicant had submitted a plan with five curb cuts on,
Kinnickinnick and three on Bellflower and Basingdale. Since the original submittal, the
architect has removed all curb cuts off of Basingdale and Bellflower. Staff believes
that this is a significant improvement as the driveways were previously located
relatively ctose to the intersections.
At this time there are five curb cuts for the entire project which access from
Kinnickinnick. These curb cuts access shared driveways. Staff believes that the revised plan provides a more efficient use of the site and leaves more of the landas
landscaped area and open space. Though there has not been an increase in the
number of curb cuts on Kinnickinnick from what was originally submitted, staff believes
there is an opportunity to improve the situation. By relocating the access to Building
Envelope #1 from Kinnickinnick to the shared access on the southwest .comer of the
site, there would be more open space around Building Envelope #1, and one less curb
cut on Kinnickinnick. Staff believes that this would be an improvement. Another concem of the neighborhood involved parking, storage, and general
. appearance of the pmject. The neighbars were concemed that individuals living in this
development would not have adequate parking and that additionat cars would be
parked in the neighboring parking lots. Staff has reviewed this concem with the
- developer and believes that the two car garages for each unit and the driveways in
front of each unit will accommodate the parking demand. An alternafive woutd be to
. create a parlcing lot for guests. However, staff believes that the parking apron in front
- of each garage can accommodate guests most of the time. 8
Regarding storage, during the neighbofiood meeting it was suggested that there be an
area on the side of each garage for_bicycles and other miscellaneous items. The
appficant has designed one of the garages to be 480 square feet. The drawings show
a temptate of a Suburban and a Cherokee to indicate how much of the garage will be
taken up by automobiles. The remaining area of the garage will be available for
. storage, and staff believes that this will be an adequate amount. One of the goals with
the storage area was to ensure.that the two parking spaces will atways be avaiiable fior
- parking. Though this cannot be guaranteed, staff believes that providing the storage
that is shown on the drawings is a reasonable assurance that the spaces will be
available. Staff believes it is critical that the other units (with garages approximately
387 square feet in size) be expanded to the.size of the larger garage.
A significant concem to the planning staff was how the developer was going to work
out agreements with the neighbors adjacent to the southwest comer of the site
conceming parking and access. Currently, there are parking and driveway
encroachments onto the Pedotto property by the neighbors. The applicant has worlced
closely with the finro existing homeowners in this area -and has worked out agreements
with them for shared access. This access also inctudes a fire truck tumaround. All of
the driveway in this area will be paved. The adjacent owners will share the expenses
with the developer. Staff believes that this is an excellent resolution to a problem that
has occurred for some time. Staff wants to emphasize the positive benefits that result
from the solution have been negotiated by the applicant.
One of the final issues of concern by the neighbors involves the appearance of the
project. The applicant has provided prototypical elevations as well as a perspective of
ihree homes sharing one driveway. Staff believes that the design character of the
homes is positive, including the materials, detailing and general massing.
Staff believes that the three employee housing units proposed in this development are
consistent with the Land Use Plans goals of the Town to have emptoyee housing units
added to our community. We believe that this component of the development
addresses a larger community need. By dispersing the three deed restricted employee
housing units among the nineteen ciwelling units, staff believes that there is a gaod
bafance of free market and employee units within the development. Attached to the
end of this memo are employee housing restrictions that have been tailored for this
development. They are based on the Type III EHU; however, they do not include
provisions that allow the sale of the employee housing unit.
C. Does the Rezonina Provide for the Growth of an Orderlv Viable Communitv?
In order to ensure that the future development on the rezoned parcel will be developed
in an orderly manner, staff has prepared the following ptat 'restrictions which will be
located on the plat and recorded at the County Clerk and Recorder:

The Fire Department and Public Works Department have reviewed the proposal and
support the project with the following conditions.
Fire Department
1. The fire access easement on the southwest comer of the site must be defined
and then recorded at the County Cierk and Recorcier prior to DRB approval of
any dwelling unit if a common access on the southwest comer of the site is
provided. The easement must be posted in field with "No Parking" signs. Staff
. will allow the site plan reviewed by the PEC on February 28,1994 or the
site plan revised on April 11, 1994 to be constructed.
2. All driveway surfaces must be "all weather driving surtaces."
3. Hydrants must be installed according to Town of Vail standards.
Public Works
1. Detailed regrading and landscape plans for the sidewalk and right-of-way area must be provided prior to a DRB hearing for any dweliing units. The Town
Engineer is requinng sidewalks, curb, gutter, storm sewer, inlets, engineering
drawings and/or grading ptans to be provided by the devetoper.
2. Easements must be dedicated for the sidewalks, drainage, utilities, road side
ditches, streetlights, etc. prior to a DRB hearing for any dwetling unit.
D. Does the rezoninQ complv with the Vail Land Use Plan?
Staff has listed the relevant goals and objectives from the Land Use Plan below:
1_1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance
between residential, commercial and recreational uses to seroe both the visitor
and the permanent resident.
11
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources
should be protected as the Town grows.
.
1.92 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed
. areas (infill areas).
' 5.1 Additional residential growih should continue to occur primarily in existing,
- piatted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist.
,
5_5 The' existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. .
Additionat employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites
throughout the community.
The Land Use Plan designates this site as Medium Density Residential. Under this
designation, the dwelling units allowed on this site range from 7 to 33. Based on the
ANDR designation, staff believes some increase in units by rezoning is reasortable.
The goals and objectives in the Land Use Plan describe development generally like the
one being proposed. Goals 1.12 and 5.1 call for infill development that is not located
in hazards. This plan complies with these goals. Also, the Land Use Plan calls for
adciitional employee housing, which will be included in 4his proposal. Staff believes the
three employee housing units proposed are positive.
a/11. MINOR SUBDIVBSION CRITERIA
The Subdivision Regutations in the zoning ordinance establish minimum stanaiards foP
the creation or modification of lots. The Subdivision Regulations sllow for the division ,
of existing lots with the creation of newr lots from previously unptatted properties. The
zoning ordinance establishes the requirements for lot dimension, !ot size and road
frontage. These zoning standards have been rnet by the Pedotto proposal. The zoning
code requires a minirnum lot size of 10,000 square feet of buildable area. The proposed
lot size is 102,788 square feet of buildable area. The miruimum frontage required is 30
linear feet on a public right-of-way. The proposed frontage is approximately 1,000
linear feet. There is also a requiremenY that the lot be able to enclose a shape 80 feet
by 80 feet within its boundaries. This standard has also been fulfilled.
In addition to the specific standards listed in the Zoning Code, the Subdivision
Regulations have purpose statements which are also criteria to review subdivision
proposals. The purpose statements of the general provisions in the Subdivision
Regulations (Section 17.04.010(A and 13)) are provided below:
"17.04.010 - Purpose.
A. The Subdivision Regulations contained in this title have tieen
prepared and enacted in accordance wlth Title 31, Article 23, Part
of C.R.S., 1973. For the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and welfare of the present and future inhabi4ants of the Town of
Vail, Colorado.
- 12
B. To these ends, the regulations are intended to protect the .
environment to ensure efficient clrculation, adequate
improvements, sufficient open space, and in general, to assist the
orderly, efficient and integrated development of the Town. 'Fhese
regulations also provide for the proper arrangement of streets and
ensure proper.distribution of populatfon. The regulations atso
coordinate the need for public services with governmental
improvement programs. The standards for design and construction of improvements are hereby setforth to ensure
.
. adequate and convenient traffic circulation, utilities, emergency
. access, drainage, recreation, and light and air. Also intended is the
improvement of land records and surveys, ptans and plats, and to
safeguard the interests of the public and subdivider and provide
common protection for the purchasers; and to regulate other
matters and the Town Planning and EnvironEnental Commission
and Town Council may deem necessary in order to protect the best
interests of the public."
The proposed plat will be taking a currently unplatted parcel and creating it as Lot 1,
Innsbrook Meadows. Staff believes that the change from an unplatted parcel to a platted lot will not negatively impact the criteria listed above. As part of the
subdivision approval, the design and construction of jmprovements in the public right-
of-way will be reviewed by the Town Engineer. The developer will be fully responsible
.'for providing a public sidewalk and drainage facilities adjacent to this parcei. Staff .
believes that these requirements fulfill the standards Ifsted above.
The Subdivision Regulations are further intended to serve the following specific
purposes (17.040.010 (C)):
"1. To inform each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which
development and proposals wiil be evaluated and to provide
information as to the type and extent of improvements required."
The developer is fully aware of the requirements of the subdivision.
"2. To provide for the subdivision of property in the future without conflict
with development on adjacent land." -
Staff has evaluated the proposed rezoning and subdivision proposal relative to the
surrounding properties. As previously discussed in this memo, the developments to
the north of the slte ail exceed the proposed densities. Furthermore, steff has worked
closely with the developer, the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department on
the proposed site plan. The site plan will be recorded at the Eagle County Clerk and
Recorder's Office as an exhibit to the Innsbrook Meadows plat. The site plan has been
carefully designed to minimize conflicts with developments on adjacent land, to
preserve the environmentally sensi4ive area in the center of the site, and to ensure that
all future development will be in compliance with Town standards.
13 '
"3. To protect and conserve the value of Iand throughout the municipallty and
the value of bufldings and improvements on that land:"
Staff believes that future development, In accordance with the proposed site plan and .
plat, will not adversely affect the value of buildings and improvements in the
surrounding area. .
"4. To ensure that subdivision of properties is 6n compiiance with the Town's
zoncng ordinance, to achieve a harmonious, convenlent, wmrkable.
relationship among land uses, consistent wGth municipal development
. objectives."
As discussed previously in this memo, the proposed reaoning and deveiopment on the
replatted lot will be in conformance w6th the proposed zone d6strict of Low Density Multi-Farrflily (LDMF). "5. To guide public and private policy and act6on in order to provlde
, adequate and efficient transportation, water, sewage, schools,
- parks, playgrounds, recreational and other public requirements and
facilities and generally to provide 4hat pubUic facilities wiil have
sufficient capaclty to serve the proposed $ubdivision." `
Staff believes that the review by the Public Works Departrment has identified aII issues
such as transportatfon, water, sewage, etc. and that the eufsting infrastructure wlll be
able accommodate the new developenent. The developer wfll be responsible for
providing drainage improvements and sidewalk improvePnents on the perimeter of this
site. These witl tie in with existing improvements In the area.and will be consistent wath
the work the Town has done in the Intermountain neighborhood in the recent past.
1@6. To provide for accurate legal descriptions of newly subdivided. land
and to establish reasonable and desirable construction design
standards and procedures."
The applicant will be requesting Single Famfly Subdivision review for each unit as it is
constructed. Once the foundation has been poured, the applicant will be mble to submit
a Single Family Subdivision application for that site. Staff believes that using the
Single Farnily Subdivision process, the land will be further subdivided in conformance
with the Town standards.
'7. To prevent the pollution of air, streams, ponds, and to assure
adequacy of drainage fac6lities, to safeguard the water table and to
encourage the wise use and management of natural resources throughout the municipality in order to preserve the integrity,
stability, and beauty of the community and tbe value of the land."
Staff belieeres that the environmen4al assessment done for the central wetland area of
the site adequately discusses the issues associated with that area. The wetland area
has been cielineated and a buffer area has been added to fvrther protect the green
14
space. A condition of approval of the rezoning is that the consultant who provided the
environmental assessment return to the site fn spring or summer to verffy his
estimates. Staff understands that during winter months, accurate wetland delineations
cannot be done. tf there is any change to his original estimates, the applicant will have
. to retum to the PEC wlth the site plan modifications. The verlfication must be done
prior to any issuance of a building permit for this property.
- VIII. - STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and minor subdivision. The minor
subdivision approval wili be contingent on approval of the rezoning. We believe the proposed
LDMF zoning is consistent with the rezoning criteria and subdivision criteria and will be '
compatible with the surrounding properties. Specifically, staff believes that the requested
zoning is suitable for the site given that it will be integrated into the neighborhood per the
design of the site plan. We belive that the request provides for workable relationships with
suROUnding land uses and is consistent with municipal objectives. Specifically, it is consistent
with five different goals as weN as the MDR land use designation of the Town's Land Use
Ptan. Finally, staff believes that the plat restrictions will insure that the development will
contribute the viability of the community. The proposed subdivision meets all of the platting
requirements of the Zoning Code as well as the purpose section of the subdivision section.
Therefore staff recommends approval with the conditions that:
(Please note that the conditions shown below in bold reflect the changes per the
Planning and Environmental Commission.)
1. The developer shall submit the subdivision plat, site plan, and recording fees to
the Town prior to issuance of any building permit for a structure on this

Re: Wedand Analysis - Pedotto Property
West Vail
Dear Mr. Knudtsen:
The above-referenced property was inspected on .January 19, 1994, to determine whether
wetlands occur on the site. This inspection was conducted with Greg Amsden of Christopher
Denton Real Estate and Russell Forest, Town of Vail staff.
' This analysis must be considered preliminary because of snow, which covered most understory
vegetation. Therefore, shrubs and trees were used to indicate potential wedand areas, along with
site hydrology along a stream.
The results of the field inspection are provided in the attached letter report.
Please contact me at 1-299-7836 if you have questions on the information pmvided herein.

, • 4.76-4935 I mag not be able to attend the neiqhborhood meeting t.hja
• evening, so•I wanted to eonvep ny fee.lirsgs the gropose d
, development on tha Pedotto prcperty. oa . I have to sap that I don't understand the opposition which
is being mounted to the development, since it seems to me
*_o coavey a ver-I residential feelinq, -dhich is what I think . most people in Intermountain are hopinq to have, insofar
as it is possible vith the eondominiura projeets alreadp is3
. the neiqhborhoad. .
I think it is a goo3 idea to build single family hc;nes,
since.that is what fasnilics in Vail want now that ve azQ cominq of aqe. The families that havfl lived here loaq
enough have qrown grom rentinq spart*neats, to cwaing
condorainiums, thzn d•iplexes and ultimatelp sinqle familp '
homes. Reqardless of wheti:er or not that is the best use
of our limite3 space, that is vhat peopla want. '
. Buildirig the homes for sale, rathcr than rental, also adds
to the residential quality of the rroject.
I thir.k the revised site p:an appears to be an improrement
aesthetically on the ori?inal site plaa.
As I mer.tioned at the work session in December, my onlp
concern Would ra t.hat a rezonir.q to low density aulti-family, '
so that the nature of the developner.t cauld not be-chanqed once the ir.crease3 density vas approved. . ~
Ilsn s°ir}' that I m,ight not be able to attend the meeting,

Sun. Dec 19. 1993 l"~
To The Planning and Environmental Commission, Town of Vail, N
I must Iodge, in the sfrongest possble.terms. my protest to your convening a p(anning it! IS
. and zoning worksession regarding the rezoriing of the "Pedotto parcel" in
Intermountain during whai is certainly one of the Valley's most busy periods.
I received yo`ur nofice for an initial meeting on the 13th of December and was abie to
: ••---take time to attend. I spent one and one half hours waiting for the "request for worksession" on the 2850 EGnnickinnick parcel to come on to the 2genda. After the
first item of the agenda had not been finished, it was evident that the meeting was going to progress slowly. I had not pfannecf to spending the entire aftemoon at the
meeting and h2d to (eave. In addition, i was frustrated by the fact that I could not find
anyone in the front offica of the building who knew what a"request for woricsession'

MEMORANDUM ,
TO: Vcul Town Council Z
FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Mcmager ~
DT: April 22, 1994 RE: Work Progrcun for E'mployee Housing
Introduction
At the Work Session on April 19th, the Council identified six housing tasks on which
you wished us to focus. These included the plcmning cmd construction of the Vcul
Commons project; construction of employee housing on the lots adjacent to the Town
Mcmager's residence; establishment of a mortgage pool/soft second program; cmd
prepciration of site plcros for Parcel H, the.Old Public Works Shop site, cmd the Water
District Pcmcel. The Council also requested that we identify the expiration date of the
Timber Ridge deed restrictions. I have also listed the on going efforts of the staff
regcirding housing.
The purpose of this memo is to provide the Council with information on these ideas, to
advise you of the tasks necesscu-y to implement these projects, cmd a
recommendation regc[rding priorities.
Vcril Commons
The RFP for the plcmning of the Vcul Commons project has been prepcired cmd
approved by Council. It has been distributed to approximately forty consultcmts. The
proposals cire scheduled to be returned May 16th. The Vcul Commons Task Force
will review them cmd select a consultcmt by the end of May. Work on this project is
expected to begin csound June 1 st cmd be complete by December of this yecir.
Assuming PEC, DRB cmd Town Council approval, cmd assuming project fincmcing
ccm be secured, project construction could begin in Spring 1995. As you cire awcire,
the $300,000 grcmt for the State for housing must be used by June 30, 1995.
Town Mcmager Lots
The Town of Vcdl owns four lots immediately east of the Town Mcmager's residence. .
These lots, described as Lots 1, 2, 3, & 4, Block H, Vcnl Das Schone, 1 st Filing, cire
located on Gcirmish Drive. These four lots cQe 1.08 acre in size cmd cQe zoned P/S.
The current zoning on these Iots would allow up to eight units to be constructed.
Approximately three yecas ago the Town had several conceptual site plcros prepared
~
for fhis property. These plcros cQe in the files of the Community Development
DepcQtment cmd cire avcnlable for your review. Please note that each of the plcros
shows eight dwelling units on these lots. To construct eight units on these lots would
require cm SDD or several vciricmces. Six units could be constructed with the existing
plat. _
If you wish to proceed with this project, the Council should review these plcros cmd
select one on which to proceed. On.ce the Council has selected the preferred site
plcm, the steps necesscuy to proceed with this project cQe as follows :
l. Hire a consultcmt to prepcire drawings.
2. Submit necessciry applications (SDD, vciriance, etc).
3. Review cmd approval by PEC.
4. Review cmd approval by Town Council.
5. Review cmd approval by DRB.
6. Prepcire construction documents.
7. Construct units.
If the Council desires, we will schedule a work session to review these site plcros.
Once you have selected a preferred plcm,.we will as indicated in Step 1 hire a
consultcmt to finish the site plcmning, prepcffe the construction design, cmd to see the
project through the design review process. Upon project approvctl, we will hire a
construction mcmager supervise the site work cmd construction of the units. Given the
level of neighborhood interest (cmd opposition), it would be crppropriate to schedule a
public hec(ring on this matter ecsly in the process.
In addition to approving the project design, Council also needs to decide how to
hcmdle these units after they have been constructed. The alternatives rcmge from
renting the units to selling them. I believe this issue ccm be dealt with during the
Council's review of the project. Funding for the construction would come the from Housing Fund Account which has a
fund balcmce of approximately $800, 000.
It should be noted the construction of these units is mechcmically fcurly straight
forwcird. However, (as you cse well aNvcre), the Council ccm expect significcmt
neighborhobd opposition to this project. The construction of a pocket pcQk could
- arneliorate these concerns to some extent. It should crlso be noted that the Trappers
Run issue could crlso cdfect this project, in that if the Town purchases Trappers the .
need for open space in West Vcdl is lessened. Old Town Shop Site
The Town of Vcul also owns a lot on the South Frontage Road across from the Vcul ~
Associates mcuntencmce yc[rd. For a number of yecQS this property was used as a the
~
•
i
town's public works facility. It is now leased to the VRD, although the Town retcuned a
portion of the building for storage. This property is .52 acres in size cmd zoned PUD.
Our initicrl studies indiccrted that this pcscel could support between five cmd ten units.
Pcircel H Site
Pcrcel H is located in East Vcril. Although it is located within the corporate limits of the
Town, this pcircel is owned by the Forest Service. The property is approximately. 10
acres in size. This site was identified the Housing Authority's Study cmd the Open
Lcmds Plcm as being potentially suitable for housing.
Wcrter District Parcel
The Vcdl Valley Water District owns a small pcircel on Red Scmdstone Road which it
intends to sell or trade. The site is ccpproximately 1.24 acres in size. If rezoned to
LDMF, this pcu-cel could support ten or eleven units.
We cire in the process of prepcsing cm RFQ for design services to prepcire cmalyses
cmd site plcros for these pc'trcels. In addition to cmalysis, plcmning cmd design
services, surveys, topographic maps, cmd title resecirch may also be required. We
c[re also contacting the owners of the pcircel to advise them of our intentions. However
it should be noted that we have had discussions about housing with both of these
entities previously.
Mortgaqe Pool
The mortgage pool as envisioned would provide a funding source to help home buyers lessen the impact of the down payment to purchase homes in Vcul. I cun in the
process of setting up a meeting with Jen Wright, Andy Knudtsen, Kristcm Pritz, Steve
Thompson, Jerry Flynn, cmd Mcsk Ristow to discuss this proposal. No date has been
currently been set for this meeting.
Timber Ridge Restrictions
Timber Ridge Apc[rtments were constructed between 1979 cmd 1981. This apcQtment
complex contcdns 198 units. As pcst of the project approval, these units were deed
restricted until November 30, 2001.
On Going Stcdf Efforts
The StaEf is currently working on zoning code cunendments that should help with the
housing issue. The first would allow developers to use common cQea allocated to
multifcnnily or commercial buildings to be used for employee housing. The second
will tighten up the EHU requirements. The Stcdf is proposing to require the unit be
rented, that the owners pay a fine or something equivcrlent if they don't rent the units,
cmd that the rental rates be similcir to other compcQable units within the town.

~
Recommended Priorities
As you may recall during the work session with the Housing Authority, Jen Wright cmd
Kathy bLcmgenwalter recommended focusing on one project cmd finishing it before
tcrking on additional pro}ects.
It is my recommendation the Council invest resources, both financial cmd stcdf time on
the projects listed in the following order:
l. Vcdl Commons.
2. Adopting code chcmges discussed previously.
3. Pursuing lots adjacent to town mcmager's residence. We recommend using
the existing platting, proposing three duplexes, cmd selling the units once
they are built. An alternative is to utilize cm SDD approach for clustered
units to allow four duplexes. The tr.ade offs related to review process would
need to be evaluated by the Housing Authority cmd the Council.
4 Hire consultcmt to develop mortgage pool.
5. Gather information cmd site plcmning for Pcrcel H, water district pcircel, cmd
old Town Shops pcircels for future consideration.
Thcmk you for your consideration of these issues.

RE: Community Development Work Program & Priorities
DT: May 13, 1994
At the March 8th Council work session, the Town Council reviewed and
prioritized the work program for the Community Development Department.
The Council's priorities are reflected in the attached exhibit (Exhibit A).
At the work session on April 19, the Council reviewed the SDD ordinance. It
was our perception, the SDD ordinance was to be revised to make several
minor modifications, and that the comprehensive review would take place later.
However, following this discussion, the Council agreed to move forward
immediately with a comprehensive review of the SDD regulations, particularly
relating to the applicability of SDDs in general throughout the community.
In accordance with the Council's wishes, we are proceeding with this review. In
order to maintain an orderly flow of work, I am requesting the Council revisit
the priorities established March Sth. Specifically, you will need to remove one
of the high priority items in order to make room for the work on SDDs,
assuming this is what the Council desires. Thank you for your consideration
of this matter.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
RE: New Planning position ,
DT: May 13, 1994
At the March 8th Council work session, the Town Council reviewed and
prioritized the work program for the Community Development Department.
During this discussion, the Council discussed the feasibility of adding an
additional FTE to the planning staff in order to handle the increasing current
development work load. The Council discussed funding this additional position
through an increase in development and building fees. This memo outlines the
cost and funding alternatives for the proposed new position.
The total cost of a Planner I position is approximately $41,000 annually. The last time the building and development fees were increased was 1991. They
are schedule to be increased next January when the Town adopts the 1995
UBC. For your information, I have attached a memo from 1991 and current fee
schedule.
After reviewing the development fee issue, I believe this new position could be
funded within the existing fee structure because these revenues have far
exceeded the revenue forecasts. Collections for the past few years are as
follows:
1989 - $317, 724 actual
1990 - $403,896 actual -
1991 - $379,260 actual
1992 - $680, 084 actual
1993 - $646, 567 actual
1994 - $286,830 budget
Based on my discussions with the Community Development staff, I believe
these revenues will be close to the 1993 levels. The difference between the
revenue forecast and actual revenue collection is transferred to the fund
balance for the general fund.
Given the current volume of development activity. I believe this position is
justified at this time. If the Council agrees to authorize this position, the
funding for it could come for the development fee unanticipated revenues.
.
.
When development activity eases and the development review work load is
reduced, this position can be eliminated. Given the rate of turnover in
community development, it is likely that, when necessary, this position could
be eliminated through attrition.
In terms of work activity, this position would work on reviewing minor projects,
sign permits, variances, etc. This would free up the more senior staff to focus
on larger, more controversial projects.
Assuming the Art in Public Places Program remains at the current level, I
anticipate we will handle the AIPP program internally. I also anticipate the
planning staff would maintain the existing level of support for the Housing
Authority and housing activities. However, most of the work described in the
Housing Memo would be cione through consultants and contract labor.

Dear Mayor Osterfoss,
Peggy, ( would like to personaily thank you for calling me concerning
the recent Town Council meeting last Thurs. I woufd like to restate that I
was at the Council meeting as an advocate for Early Child Programs and
children in general. I was not there to defiend whether Learning Tree
- should pay for half of the cost of paving the parking lot on the Mt. Bell si#e '
which ABC School agreed to do when they were given the permits to build
an addition in 1991. Because Early Childhood programs do not receive
public subsidy, the cost of providing high quality CeP• is.expensive. I
believe strongly that the cost of this care should be borne in part by the
community, whom the schools belowg . t0, not just the parents currently
attending the school. These children are the future of Vail and they
deserve to be given the best!
Over the past 16 years since our lease has been in effect, the town
has a good history of supporting Learning Tree and ABC School through
" cash and in-kind donations . We have built on your support of non-profits
becoming educated on how to raise their own funds on the path to self-
sufficiency. We have done an outstanding job in the fundraising arena.
The funds we had requested from TOV in the last two years were turned
down due to budget constraints. This however, does not stop me from
requesting help in areas that I think are appropriate, such as waiving the
paving.requirement . t encourage you to reconsider your decision. If the
schools are to continue providing high quality care for young children the
community needs' to assume some of this responsibility. Scholarship
programs, worthy wages for staff and affordabie care will eo ever become
a reality if we have to put fundraising money ( 15% of our budget) into
projects like parking lot paving.
1 have enclosed a copy of the Vail Daily article, " Where do the
Children Play?" As Mayor of Vail, I'm surprised that you were not aware
of the support the schoo(s gave to the affordable housing project.
Sincerely,
Moe Mulrooney, Director `of Learning Tree

RE: Status Report
The following is a status report on the current activities of the Homeowners Association:
A. Special Development Districts:
l. Town Council Action: i he Town Council appears to bz responding to our efforts to refbr.m
the Special Development District ordinance. Last week, after receiving testimony from Rod Slifer and I,
the Town Council voted unanimously to direct the sta.ffto have a proposal for the reform of the SDD ordi-
nance by June this year. The council's action move up the schedule for SDD reform a full six months from
that outlined by Mayor Osterfoss in her March 29, 19941etter to Bob Galvin.
Rod Slifer's testimony and the content of the Association Amicus Brief were key factors in direct-
ing the town council attention to the seriousness of public concern over Special Development Districts.
Slifer's position was a result of a meeting the week preceding the Town Council decision called by the As-
sociation with key representatives of community's real estate interests who have expressed concern about
the recent use of SDD's. At the meeting the findings of the Association's Amicus Brief were presented and
discussed. The meeting resulted in Slifer volunteering to present his opinions to the Town Council.
The testimony was deliver at the Town Council'work session held to discuss a proposed amend-
ment to preciude SDD's from Single Family, DupieY, Hillside, PrimarylSecondary residential zone dis-
tricts. Slifer presented the view point that SDD's should be used only for large site (one acre or larger),
that the gifting of additional densitv in eYChange for "exactions" was a grant.of special privilege and there-
fore not appropriate. Slifer pointed out to the Town Council that the Covered Bridge Store, being
redeveloped according to zoning standards by his associate Harry Frampton, provided adequate financial
incentive to redevelop and upgrade the property.
The Association expressed the view to the Town Council that SDD's were not appropriaie in estab-
lished neighborhood, especially those wzth small lot subdivisions (particularly Vail Village). Further, that
the SDD should not be used to increase density (GRFA or units per acre). It was observed that far reach-
ing precedents may have been set, therefore the limit of applicability to future situations should be
determined.
The Association's stated a position that was sympathetic to the need to redevelop and upgrade sub-
standard buildings and economically distressed neighborhoods, such as Lionshead. It was noted that the
Town of Vail has no urban renewal authority that confers the right on the municipality to condemn or pur- •
chase land and buildings for the purpose of redevelopment. As a consequence, zoning incentives to stimu-
late redevelopment must be equally applied to all property owners within a zone district.
2. Joan Lamb vs Vail Athletic Club: The Association's Amicus Brief has been filed with Eagle
County District Court. Copies of the Amicus Brief have been forwarded to interested parties.
Post Office Box 238 Vail, Colorado 81658
EVHA 5/6/94 .
According to Lamb's attorney Ron Robbins, the case wiil be heard in District Court before Judge Jones be-
g'uining in June.
'--.Lamb's complaint argues that the VAC Special Development District may not controvert the un-
derlying zoning; the application fails to satisfy the purpose of Special Development Districts; it fails to
meet criteria to establish an SDD; and that it constitutes spot zoning; The complaint requests the Court to
issue an order to the Town of Vail that redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club SDD as approved be va-
cated.
The defendant argues that if the VAC was built according to zoning standards, it would still block
the plaintiff view. As well, it argues that the Town of Vail followed correct procedure to approve the SDD.
The defendant avoids the constitutional issues by seeking to limit the argument to compliance with the re-
view criteria. In all likelihood the constitutionality issue will be dealt with on appeal should the court rule
against the plaintiff. Copies of all filings are available.
3. Golden Peak House SDD: On March 15, 1994 Clark Willingham appeared before the Town
Council at awork session. He informed the council that his Golden Peak House proposal to remodel sub-
stantially the eYisting building was no longer financially feasible. Willingham after conducting a construc-
tion budget review found that he would tose $1,736,000 on the remodel proposal. He informed the
Council that he intended to tear dowm and rebuild the building according to the approved plan. He also rep-
resented that the building could be lowered by an additional siY inches.
At the work session the Town Attorney rendered an opinion specifying that Willingham's approv-
al for the redevelopment plan was not conditioned upon it being a remodel or a demolition/rebuild. There-
fore, the Town Council had no grounds to intervene or rehear the proposal.
The opinion rendered by the Town Attorney is controversial and possibly subject to challenge.
Willingham's dependence upon economics as an argument before the Town of Vail, for the approval of the
proposed remodel, was well known and documented in the public record. His case for additional height,.
GRFA, and view corridor encroachments were predicated on his representation of costs associated with a
remodel..
The Town of Vail rejected any objections to the project based upon economic advantage, citing a
prohibition in the zoning code (variance provision) that the Town cannot take the developer's costs into
consideration. While on the other hand, the Town authorities allowed the developer to argue his need to
make the project financially feasible. He renresented the need for additional GREA, beyond that permitted .
by zoning standards, based upon the extraordinary costs associated with the remodeling the building.
Using commonly known real estate values the Town of Vail approved additional GRFA valued at
$6,897,000 ($1000/sq.ft.). The project included $6,151,500 ($900/sq.ft.) in new commercial square foot-
age for a value of atl new square footage of $13,048,500. Willingham represented that the construction
cost for the remodel to be an estimated $3 million. The Town had required an estimated $200,000 in cash
outlay eYactions for employee housing and streetscape improvements. Willingham's proposal may receive
an estimated 50% ($200,000) subsidy for the cost of providing required parking in the Town of Vail Vail ,
Village parking structure. Willingham revised remodel cost was an estimated $4.5-$5 million.
Revised construction costs yzelds a profit value of the "remodel" approach (market value less re-
development cost) was 61.5% or $8,048,500. The failure of the Town of Vail to differentiate in its ap-
proval of the project between a"remodel" versus a"demolition/rebuild" yields an estimated profit value of
77.3%or $10,048,500.

' EVHA 5/6/94
During the review process the Town Attorney was queried by the Town Council as to whether a
specific SDD proposal set precedent for future SDD proposals. The Town Attorney responded in the af-
firmative. The prospect now exists that all buildings in Commercial Core I could reach five stories in .
height and receive similar grants of GRFA and other special privileges. Further, there is the possibility that
if the Town seeks to deny other property owners the same rights, it could be subject to legal challenge.
Credible sources believe there is evidence to indicate that the Town of Vail may have been mislead
by the representations of the developer and there may have been serious abuses of the review procedure.
Privately, questions have been raised as to the degree of possible misconduct and the probability of legal
action. A cloud remains in the public's mind over the legitimacy and implications of the Town of Vail's
approval and subsequent decisions regarding this matter.
Sources within the real estate community believe the approved project still has many controversial
issues to resolve. Some of these issues may scuttle the project or send it back to the Town Council. For
eYample, there is serious doubt that there are air rights that have been granted by the building's condomini-
um association that would permit the construction of a fifth floor as proposed.
According to some observers, the major flaw in the proposal is existing owners are expected to fi-
nance the remodel with little or no gain in the floor area of their individual condominium units. Further,
there is a question as to the building owners degree of participation in the profits from the expansion of the
building's GRFA and commercial area. Some believe that the $1.5 million maintenance bond approved by
the ownership last year, when combined with the $6.1 million value of increased commercial area
(allowed under present zoning requirements) is sufficient finance incentive to fund the upgrading of the
building without the need to add the fifth floor.
The Association continues to monitor the progress of this matter.
' 4. Cornice Building SDD: After reducing the GRFA below that requested by the applicant the
Town Council approved the SDD application. The on site employee housing units will be relocated else- ~
where in the community. The Association registered a complaint against the project as the proposal was a
grant of special privilege.
5. SDD Initiative Petition Drive: There has not been a great enthusiasm to approve SDD's by
public election. The Association's sponsorship of the distribution of the initiative petition to Vail voters, in
conjunction with it's newsletters, has significantly affected the public's attitude towards the acceptability of
SDD's.
The contentious approval of the Golden Peak Hcuse, Vail Athletic Club, and Cornice building
SDD's in conjunction with the initiative petition, the VAC lawsuit, and in depth reporting by the Associ-
ation of the issue, has stirred a considerable public controversy. There is growing political pressure to
eliminate or significantly restrict when SDD's can be used.
Many property owners do not favor a public vote because it does not provide sufficient protection
against SDD's. For eYample, suburban voters can approve SDD's for the city center because they are not
directly affected. The preference of public opinion appears to be to limit the conditions under which
SDD's can occur. In response to public pressure the Town Council has undertaken its effort to resolve the
matter through legislative change.
3
EVHA 5/6/94 j
It is recognized by many informed observers that if the Town Council or the District Court fails to
take sufficient steps to curb the abuses of the SDD, an initiative petition can be undertaken that will limit or
eliminate the SDD. Authorities within the real estate industry, who oppose the abusive use of the SDD and
are supportive of the Association's position, believe that political action along these lines would be
successful.
These sources cite a growing public attitude, as the rate of development accelerates throughout the
Vail Valley, to more stringently control growth and density. These attiiudes are similar to those prevalent
in Vail during the ma.jor growth boom of the 1970's.
The SDD Election Initiative Petitioners Committee terminated their activity to solicit signatures
based upon the action taken by the Town Council to undertake the reform of the SDD legislation on a
timely basis. Notice has been given to the Town Council of the action taken by the petitioners committee.
The Association will continue through its newsletter to inform the property owners and electorate of the is-
, sues and proceedings. •
B. Joint EVHANaiI Associates/Town of Vail PlanninQ:
1. Neighborhood Meetings:
A series of neighborhood meetings has been conducted between the Association and Vail
Associates.
a. Gore Creek Neighborhood: Fifteen people representing most of the major properties attended a
planning work session to discuss improving the area from the east portal of the Vail Village Parking Struc-
ture, Vail Road to Manor Vail including the Golden Peak ski base area. The scope of the meeting included
improving pedestrian safety, parking, recrea.tion amenities, and streetscape improvements.
The merits of a proposal by Mark Foster, President of the Vail Trail East Condominium Associ,
ation, to explore the privatization of the e~cisting Gore Creek Drive (East of Vail Valley Drive) and Chalet
Road street rights-of-way was received with interest and favor. The purpose of the privatization is to re-
solve long standing parking problems in the neighborhood. Through a 1970's agreement with the Town of
Vail neighborhood property owners cunently pay private contractors for maintenance and snow removal
of the right-of-ways. The ability for neighborhood property owners to make aesthetic improvements to ex-
isting parking areas was considered a positive outcome of obtaining ownership to rights-of-way. The pre-
cedent used by the Town of Vail to vacate and deed to Manor Vail a nonessential ri¢ht-of-way was
eYplained as a possible means to accomplish the neighborhood objectives.
Discussed was the concept of a pedestrian access corridor on Gore Valley Drive (East of Vail
Valley Drive) and Chalet Road. The pedestrian access route would be similar in design to Manor Vail's
pedestrian access corridor. The purpose of the pedestrian access comdor would be to provide a safer
route to the Golden Peak Ski Base Area than would be possible along Vail Valley Drive. Vail Associates
agreed to work with the neighborhood to study the feasibility of the pedestrian corridor.
The status of the existing tennis courts was discussed. The Vail Metropolitan Recreation District
has expressed interest in consolidating their Golden Peak Tennis Courts at Ford Park. The District current-
ly has a long term (99 year) lease with Vail Associates to provide tennis at Golden Peak. It was noted that
Manor Vail has in the past expressed interest in acquiring or managing the two tennis courts adjacent to
Chalet Road. Discussion included other types of recreational amenities such as an ice rink, and cultural
facilities. It was concluded that there was a need to retain recreational amenities in the neighborhood.
4
EVHA 5/6/94
There was a willingness to explore alternative approaches to ownership, management, and operations of the
tennis courts.
Vehicular parking and access was an issue of concern. The feasibility of limiting the entire East
Village to private parking was explored. Included in the discussion was the concept of an underground pri-
vate parking structure at Golden Peak and the P-3 and J sites. The prospect of reducing public parking and
it's accompanying traffic congestion and safety problems was favorably received. The benefits of placing
a mass transportation terminal underground, beneath an ice skating/tennis facility was considered. Addi-
tionally, the value of relocating skier drop off locations outside of neighborhood was viewed as a means of
reducing a substantial cause of vehicular traffic congestion.
b. Lodge at VaiWail Village Ski Base: A meeting between the Association's representa.tive and a
group of condominium owners from the Lodge at Vail was held to discuss development options for the Vail
Village Ski Base. The residential property owners are concerned with the impact that the proposed In-
ternationa! Wing will have upon their condominium uiits. They were interested in the Homeowner's As-
sociation discussion with Vail Associates and the Town of Vail regarding alternative uses for the Land
Exchange site.
The property owners were informed of Vail Associates preliminary site study that demonstrates the
feasibility to locate physically an underground truck parking facility that could serve the delivery needs for
Vail Village. It was presented that Vail Associates and the Town of Vail are studying the financial feasi-
bility of the proposal and have informed officials at the Lodge at Vail of their interest in the concept.
The owners gave an overview of the position of different interest groups within the Lodge at Vail.
These interests include a desire to increase the hotel room inventory and improve on-site recreation and
conference facilities. Concerns were expressed that the proposed International Wing would significantly
damage the residential qualities and views from many condominium units in the Lodge at Vail and adjacent
properties. The complexity of gaining approval for the International Wing was considered.
Discussion included site design alternatives for a new hotel wing that could reduce or eliminate the
loss of views and privacy from existing condominium residential units. 'I'he location of a skier and special
event service facility needed by Vail Associates was considered.
It was concluded that there were other design options available that warranted further investigation.
It was concluded that it was desirable to pursue site planning options that eYpanded Eaton (Founders) Pla-
za and protected existing views of Vail Mountain from the plaza. It was determined that opporh:nities eY-
isted to eliminate the unsightly parking and service areas South of the Lodge at Vail. The blighted area
could be replaced with an extension of the Vail Village pedestrian mall system that gives access to a new
hotel wing, with retail, skier/visitor services, conference, and recreational amenities built above an under-
ground parking and truck detivery facility.
The Association was encouraged to investigate site locations for a 3 to 4 story hotel wing that
would not block vistas from any existing residential units at the Lodge at Vail or from adjacent properties.
It is desirable for the hotel wing to be connected to the emsting Lodge at Vail by structures from one to one
and a half stories in height, built above the underground parking and truck docking facility.
c. Mill Creek Circle: A meeting at the Caulkins residence sponsored by the Association was held
with Mill Creek Circle property owners and Vail Associates. Vail Associates presented concepts that had
been discussed for the redevelopment of their Golden Peak Ski Base Area. They reported on lift locations
5
EVHA 5/6/94 - `
and other on-mountain improvements being done in conjunction with their proposed Category III
expansion.
Vail Associates and a representative from the Association outlined a variety of ineans to eliminate
traffic congestion and improve pedestrian access to the ski base areas. Concerns were stated by the neigh-
borhood property owners regazding problems of illegal parking, nuisances resultirig from pedestrian tres-
passing and special events. The blighted condition of the Vail Village Ski base as well as the overall
appearance of Vail Village was discussed. A general dissatisfaction with the Town of Vail's handling of
the Golden Pea1c House proposed redevelopment was stated..
A representative of Vail Associates stated the company's efforts to improve the visual appearance
of the Vail Village Ski base would begin this summer. When completed, landscape and fencing to define
road alignments will return the area to a park like setting. The representative stated that Vail Associates is
no longer actively pursuing the development of their land south of Mill Creek Circle as a residential
subdivision.
The need to improve recreational amenities in the neighborhood, including the retention of eYisting
Golden Peak Tennis Courts was discussed. The concept of the neighborhood taking over the operation and
management of the tennis court from the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District was criticized. There was a
reluctance to give up tax supported facilities that would result in increased cost to neighborhood property
owners.
An explanation was given of the Association's efforts with regard to truck parking and increasing
private parking for Vail Village. The concept for the P-3 and J sites parking structure/park was outlined.
As well, the general concepts for improvements to their Vail Village Ski Base area, including the prospect
of an underground parking and truck docking facility. The feasibility of positioning a hotel wing in a more
desirable location than the proposed International Wing was favorably received. There was a general rec-
ognition that a redevelopment of the Land Exchange site and surrounding area could lead to a much needed
upgrading of the entire Vail Village area.
2. Category III: As a demonstration of our concern, we provided mass mailing support services to
Vail Association in the mailing of a brochure explaining the various aspects of Category III to the 1,500
property owners and Vail voters on the Association's mailing list. The mailing was done as an adjunct to
the neighborhood meetings being sponsored by the Association.
Vail Associates Category III proposal is receiving criticism from environmental,and wild life pres- , .
ervation groups. Criticism is aimed at a big ski area getting bigger at the expense of wildlife habitat and
other back country attributes. In Colorado there is a disdain for the urbanization that accompanies ski
areas. Critics are tying the two issues together. They are attempting to pressure Vail Associates as well
as local governments to provide for both wildlife and employee habitat.
The joint planning efforts of the Association, Vail Associates, and the Town of Vail will define the
community's obligations to provide support facilities and services necessary to serve the proposed ski ter-
rain eYpansion. If the results of our joint planning efforts are unproductive, the chorus of critics could in- .
crease in volume and intensity.
3. P-3 and J sites: Analysis continues of planning and design concept studies conducted by Vail
Associates. It has been represented to Vail Associates and the Town of Vail, if normal size parking spaces
(8' x 18' x 7'-6") can be used to accommodate van size delivery and service vehicles, the project is feasible.
6
' EVHA 5/6/94
It has also been represented that the project would have to include provisions to meet the terms of
the warranty deed to provide a- specified amount of parking to the Christiania Lodge. Further, the point has
been made that once constructed, the continuation of large trucks parking on the parking structure surface
or on adjacent street rights-of-way is unacceptable. It has been stated that for the project to be financially
feasible the Town of Vail must bear the cost of constructing the park to be located on the surface of the
parking structure.
Requests have been made of Vail Associates and the Town of Vail to expedite their design
requirements for the project, so that development interests may proceed with a fair degree assurance that a
financially feasible project can be constructed. It has been noted that the purchase of the property or the
review process should not proceed without prior agreements on design requirements by all concerned
parties.
C. Monitored Activities: The following are projects or activities the Association is monitoring.
The Association has provided testimony, advice, attended meetings, or received reports regarding these
topics.
1. Pav-in-lieu Parking Fee: The Town Council has partially acceded to the Association's position
that the pay-in-lieu parking fee for Vail Village and Lionshead should not be used as a subsidy to develop-
ment. In a recent action taken by the Town Council, they directed that an ordinance be prepared that
would raise the fee from $8,594 to $15,000. Previous deliberation of the Council had set the fee at
$10,000. The pay-in-(ieu fee will continue to subsidize development as the Town has not included the
land costs in the fee calculation.
2. Covered Bridge Restoration: The Vail Village Covered Bridge will be restored and upgraded.
Portions of the structure are in an advanced state of decay. Design consultants advocated a redesign of
the bridges from it present rustic character to a Tyrolean architectural sTyle. The testimony of the As-
sociation and other communiry groups advocated refurbishing the bridge, retaining its rustic character,
while making safety; lighting, and landscape enhancements. The Town Council subscribed to the position
advocated by the public testimony.
3. Covered Bridize Building Redevelopment• The redevelopment proposal for the site was ap-
proved with no variances, view corridor encroachments, or special privilege. According to the building's
developers it could be profitability redeveloped within zoning standards.
The Association urged the neighboring property owner of the Gasthof Gramshammer, who also
have plans to expand their building, to coordinate their proposed development efforts with the Covered
Bridge building . All parties were urged to integrate building designs so that problems of loading and de-
liveries could be resolved to the public benefit. These matters are still outstanding and are the subject of
ongoing private negotiations.
4. Vail Village Noise Ordinance: The Town Council has been requested to find means to reduce
nuisance noise levels in Vail Village. An ordinance is under consideration that vvzll restrict the practice of
piping canned or live music to outdoor decks and other external areas, unless the entertainers are perform-
ing outdoors. Outdoor music from the same location on a daily basis for several hours of extended per-
formance has also been a source of complaint. The Association has urged action on this matter so that all
sources of noise nuisances are reduced or eliminated. The Town Council decided to increase enforcement
of offender ra.ther than cause the present ordinance to become more restrictive.

5. Traffic Roundabouts: The Town of Vail is moving forward with design work on a large round-
about system at the Main Vail interchange with I-70. For the first time in history the Colorado Depart-
ment of Transportation is supportive of the concept. There has been some local criticism of the
roundabout proposal, but none of consequence to date. The Town is awaiting design and construction cost
estimates, agreements on matching funding, and approval by the state department of transportation. Con-
struction could still occur this year.
6. Ted Kindel Park: Design Review Board and Corps of Engineers approvals have been received
Construction bids are due in next week. The Town of Vail's project manager is concemed that excessive
labor costs, due to the high construction volume in the Vail Valley, may drive up costs beyond the project's
$110,000 budget. A delay of a few weeks may result, as early season labor costs will drop once the con-
struction season is undenvay, allowing the project to be built within budget.
7. Town Administration: In an effort to work more closely with the Town of Vail, the Association
is working with the newly appointed Town Manager and Town Attorney to provide an informed back-
ground on the history and development of the community. At the present time, an open and candid dia-
logue exists:
It is the intent of the Town Council and Town Manager to create a more open and customer ser-
vice oriented organizational structure. There is evidence that a more cooperative, respectful, and respon-
sive working relationship between municipal employees and the community is growing.
D. Affiliated Issues: In fulfillment of the conclusions of the President's Advisory Committee meet-
ing in December for the Association to be concerned with issues effecting the larger community the follow-
ing issues have been monitored. •
1. Town CounciUPlanning Commission Growth Policv Conflict:
a. Alpine Design Issue: A considerable controversy is beginning to take shape regarding a desire
by a majority of the Town Council to define the architectural elements of Alpine Design. The design codes
of the Town refers to requirements that building design must be compatible with the features of "Alpine
design. The topic of "design" has received greater attention due to controversial contemporary designs that
have occuned in some residential neighborhoods and Lionshead.
At a recent summit of the Town Council, Design Review Board, and Planning Commission there
was heated discussions as to the urgency to define an "Alpine" architecture vocabulary. The meeting un-
leashed frustrations thaf are symptomatic of the alienation between elected and appointed officials regard-
ing redevelopment and growth related issues. .
The frustration is created by a rapidly changing attitude of the electorate and property owners to
increase controls over development and growth. Hyper-inflation in the rate of growth is fueling the change ~
in attitude. A majority of the Town Council is set on a course to tighten and equalize development regu-
lations, while the Planning Commission and planning staff are attempting to enforce planning criteria for-
mulated in the 1980's to stimulate growth by granting special privilege in exchange for exactions.
There appears to be a reluctance on the part of some appointed officials to revise planning criteria
to reflect changing values. Some appointed officials are counseling delay with the hope of frustrating the
issue until the next Town Council election, eighteen months hence. Clear divisions are beginning to take
place within the real estate and development professions regarding the ethical issues of special privileges
and equal treatment. In the coming months there will be a heighten public debate over the issue of the
8
- EVHA 5/6/94
failure of the present planning policy to solve development problems. The debate will include protections
that ensures the public trust provides equal protection and opportunity for property owners in the same or
similar zone districts
It has been advised that research be conducted to accurately define the traditional and contempo-
rary international architectural styles that are encompassed within "Alpine" design. Secondly, that in recal-
citrant areas of the community such as Lionshead, where deterioration occurs and property values have
stagnated, research should be conducted to determine the consequence of opening the opportunity to in-
crease commercial and residential density caps for "all" property owners, so that an area can "grow" out of
stagnation.
The Association is closely monitoring this issue as it is a fundamental debate with broad implica-
tion for governmental control and property owner self deternunation.
2. Open Soace:
a. West Vail: Pressure on undeveloped parcels in West Vail is fornung public opinion towards
open space preservation. The Spraddle Creek subdivision north of Vail Village remains a source of contro-
versy and derision. West Vail property owners are using public pressure to cause the Town Council to ne-
gotiate the purchase of the 48 acre Trapper's Run parcel. The Intermountain neighborhood is organizing
opposition to an attempt to upzone a 2.49 acre primary/secondary zone district to Low Density Multi-
Family. The applicant is being represented by a planning commissioner.
b. Lindholm Land Exchanee: This proposed congressionally mandated legislative land exchange
is planned to abut the Town of Vail's northwest boundary above West Vail. The proposal is meeting with
circumspection by the Vail Town Council. The consequences of the land eYChange because of its massive
scale are not well understood by the general public.
In all likelihood it will move greater concentrations of population closer to Vail causing the devel-
opment of residential subdivision similar in consequence to Spraddle Creek. There is a high probability
that the land will be annexed to the Town of Avon, beginning the process to narrow the ambitions of the
Town of Vail's westward eYpansion. The availability of real water supply should be an obvious concern
given the projected shortage of water supply being touted by local water authorities.
3. Affordable HousinQ:
a. Vail Commons/Affordable Housing• A request for proposal has been solicited for the 6.6 Vail
Commons site in West Vail, the proposal is to be an expansion of the West Vail commercial center and in-
clude eighty employee housing units. In a recently released report of the Town of Vail's mission and goals
the following statement was made regarding affordable housing. "Encourage through zoning improve-
ments/changes/modifications our ability to stabilize the local population, thereby increasing voter base."
The legitimacy of government encouraging local housing to increase the voter base is arguab(e.
b. Emplovee HousinQ as SDD Esactions: An article in the local press regarding the Town of Vail's
effort to encourage employee housing by requiring restricted employee housing units approved as a result
of SDD's was less than successful. Several of the units remain vacant by action of the property owner.

EVHA 5/6/94 ' •
4. Tax Issues: ,
a. Performance Center: A committee continues the efforts to built a performance center in Vail.
The committee is advocating a 900 seat, $5 million facility at Lionshead. The financial pro forma for the
defeated Performance and Conference Center was predicated on an estimated $8 million in endowments and
contribution. It is unknown if a similar level of private donations are available. It is believed by some ex-
perts in the performing arts that at least 2,100-2,500 seats are needed for a facility to be financially self
supporting. There remains a strong interest in locating a performance center in conjunction with the Ford
Amphitheater at Ford Park.
b. Tax Research: Research has found that the property taac mill levy for governmental entities
providing services is 30.110 mills in the Town of Aspen. The mill levy for Vail Village in the Town of
Vail is 55.041 mills. Research continues into the differences in tax assessment, expenditures, service lev-
els, and demographic profiles.
E. Organizational:
1. EVHA Newsletter: The first quarter newsletter was circulated to 2,500 people including Vail
Village property owners and Vail voters. The newsletter appears to have been favorably received as it
evoked several phone calls, letters, contributions, and comments. The second quarter newsletter will be
prepared and distributed in June.
2. Affiliated memberships: The Association has been requested to accept "Affiliated Member-
ships" from property owners and organizations who are outside of the Association's membership area. An
Affiliated membership is considered a nonvoting organizational membership. The dues rate is the same as
an individual or organizational membership, $1000.
3. Contributions: The Association is gratified and appreciative of the contributions that were re-
ceived from local property owners and voters expressing support for the Association's activities and news-
letter.

VAIL TOWN COl1NCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR MAY 10
Work Session Briefs .
--Site Visit to 274 Beaver Dam Road
This is a town-owned parcel with covenant restrictions. The parcel is identified in the
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as property that could be sold to generate revenues
for other open lands purchases as long as the property remains permanently restricted
as open space. An adjacent property owner has asked the Council to consider selling
the property with permanent restrictions in the form of conservation easements, which
would maintain open space. Because the land was originally donated to the town by
Vail Associates, the Council expressed an interest in discussing the proposal with VA.
A survey also was authorized at town expense to enable the town to better
understand the boundaries of the property and any improvements that have been
made. The Council also directed staff to inform adjacent property owners of the
proposal and to notify the neighborhood group for this area. Councilman Merv Lapin
said a philosophical discussion would likely be necessary to determine if the town
should. be disposing of any open space for whatever reason. For more information,
contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Office at 479-2138.
--Update Eagle Mine Superfund Clean-Up
The Council heard an update on the Eagle Mine Clean-up by representatives from the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Colorado Department of Health and the Eagle
River Environmental & Business Alliance (EREBA). Although a clean-up workplan is
continuing under a 1993 state consent decree, Council members were told that
additional mitigation activities mandated by the EPA could face delays this summer. .
That's because a 3-party consent decree between the EPA, state and Paramount
Communications has not been signed. Paramount is the company responsible for
paying the cost of the clean-up. Similar problems delayed the clean-up process last
year. As a result, the Council agreed yesterday to send a letter to the EPA urging
completion of the negotiations. A copy of the fetter will be sent to Colorado's

Congressional representatives. The EPA has ordered remediation actions that will cost
approximately $17.3 million over 10 years. For a 3-page summary of the Eagle Mine
Clean-up activities, contact the town's Community Information Office at 479-21 15,
or call Russell Forrest in the Community Development Office at 479-2138.
--PEC Report
In briefing the Council on the May 9 meeting of the Planning and Environmental .
Commission (PEC), Community Development Director Kristan Pritz said the PEC had
approved a conditional use permit to allow for continuafiion of an outdoor dining deck
at Garton's Saloon, 143 East Meadow Drive. The permit is good for a year.
The Council directed staff to strictly enforce the conditional use, in addition to the
saloon's amplified sound permit. For more information, contact Randy Stouder in the
Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Installation of Heated Pavers at Gore Creek Promenade
The Council heard a presentation from Public Works/Transportation Director Larry
, Grafel and expressed interest in forming a public-private partnership for installation of
heated pavers at the Gore Creek Promenade. Grafel estimated the cost at $143;000,
plus an annual operating expense of $15;000. Although the heated walkway would
reduce the town's snow removal costs, Grafel said he couldn't be any more specific
about the savings until he prepared a payback analysis. The presentation then turned
to a broader discussion of heated pavers throughout the Village. The Council
wondered about the feasibility of expanding the heated paver system to Bridge Street
and Gore Creek Drive. Based on projections for the promenade project, a 70,000 sq.
ft. extension through the core could cost about $1.4 million, with an annual operating
expense of $150,000. Most Council members said it would make sense to install a
heated system in conjunction with utility work or other construction activities that
would already require the streets to be torn up. The question of funding is a major
issue. The Council discussed several•options, including a public-private partnership.
-Rob LeVine, a former Council member who manages the Antlers Lodge, urged the
Council to address infrastructure problems in Lionshead rather than spend additional
money in the Village Core. The Council directed Grafel to prepare a list of town-
- funded improvements scheduled for the Lionshead area this year, and to continue
development of additional recommendations related to the heated pavers. For more
information, contact Grafel at 479-2173.

--.Council Reports/Sister Cities Trip to St. Moritz, Switzerland
The Council agreed to spend up to $3,000 from the town's unallocated marketing
fund to help pay for a proportionate share of expenses related to a"Vail Night"
presentation for residents of St. Moritz; development of a commemorative Vail-St.
Moritz pin; plus a gift to be presented to the community. of St. Moritz. The Town of
Avon and Vail Associates also will be asked to contribute towards the $3,000 budget
total. Those making the July trip will include electeci officials from Vail and Avon, plus
representatives from the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, Vail Valley
Marketing Board, Vail Associates Inc., Colorado Mountain College and the Vail Valley
Arts Council. The trip will be used to develop new strategies for marketing and
special events activities valleywide. For more information, contact Suzanne

RE: The Town of Vail Police Addition .
Dear Jeff:
The intent of this letter is to clarify a few points of your letter to Kristan Pritz and Jeff Layman
dated April 20, 1994 regarding the Police Building siding and the garage door.
The Design Review Board (DRB) did agree to allow a metal garage door to be located at the entry to the covered parking for the Police addit+on. The DRB has required that the garage
door be painted, however, the final decision on the paint color will be determined by the DRB
at the time paint samples are placed on the door for their review and final decision. Let me
know when this occurs and I wiii schedule a site visit with the DRB at their next regularly
scheduled meeting.
For your information, the Town Council has decided to allocate additional funding to replace
all of the existing T-111 siding on the existing Municipal Building. The T-111 will be replaced
with similar "real wood" siding that is currently being installed on the Police addition. The
DRB and the Town Council were both very clear that they would like all of the new wood
siding to be clear coated. No dark brown stain is to be used on any of the new siding.
However, the DRB did approve for the soffit, fascia, and window trim to be painted dark
brown.
The above information has all been confirmed with Jeff Layman. Should you have any
questions regarding any of the above, please feel free to contacf ine at 479-2138. ,

MEMORANDUM . TO: Sybill Navas
FROM: Annie Fox
DATE: May 13,1994
RE: Recreation Department Relocation
On May 11, the Recreation Board received information on the feasibility of relocating the
Recreation offices from the lower level of the Library building to the Golf Course
Clubhouse. Bob McLaurin and I sat in on the meeting.
Two issues addressed in this meeting were tied to the outcome of the May 3 election. The
remaining issue was a structural concern which the feasibility study addressed. Issues
included:
1. Would the new board members still support relocation of the Recreation District
offices?
2. Would the vote support transfer of funds from TOV to the Recreation District, thus
making such a building project more likely?
3. Could the Golf Course Clubhouse structurally support a second level? '
After reviewing the engineer's report, which indicated the Clubhouse could hold a second
level, the Board voted unanimously to direct staff to proceed with a building of no more
than $320,000.
The project has a very aggressive building plan which would move the Recreation District
out of the library space by May 1995. An architect has not yet been hired nor contact made
with Community Development, PEC or DRB. Considering this is a large building and
much work remains, May 1995 is a very tentative date. However, a willingness to vacate the
library space has been shown. Therefore, preliminary investigations on utilization should
begin.
RECREAZ'ION DEPARTMENT RELOCATION
PAGE 2
One possible use is expanding the library public area and staff area. Many of our reference
materials are moving to various forms of computer-aided retrieval. The printing of '
citations, computer bleeps, and the constant movement around the computers are not
conducive to a quiet reading environment. It may make sense to contain the noise by
moving Reference to the Community Room and moving the Community Room downstairs.
Additionally, the 700 square feet that houses 10 employees is quite inadequate. The initial
architectural plan called for a maximum of 60,000 users and hours open from 9:00 - 6:00.
The library long ago exceeded these benchmarks. The Library and Community Room are
14,000 square feet; the Recreation District space is 1,535 square feet.
,
The library will include a preliminary plan in the 1995 budget of library-related uses for the
vacated space. We will use information from the resident survey and in-house surveys
(guest views are not documented by the resident survey).
,
Whatever the Council chooses to do with this space, funds should be set aside for predesign.
Issues include:
The Connmunity Room roof leaks. Repairs have been done, however, it is a 10 year old
roof.
• Several Recreation offices and the Community Room are on the same heating zone, and
controlled by one thermostat. Heating is difficult.
• The lighting and wallcoverings in the Community Room need renovation.
• The Library pays all utility bills, maintains fire panels, etc. -
• The Recreation Department space is not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
accessible.
Enclosed is the Feasibility Study presented to the Recreation District. Interestingly, the
District passed a motion approving a$320,000 figure for building and more square footage
than the VRD staff initially requested. The Recreation staff came to the Board with a
request for $220,000 and a plan of 2,068 square feet. The Board directed staff to pursue a
building plan with greater square footage. The increased square footage was unspecified.

VAIL PARK & RECREATION DiSTRICT
FEASIBILITY STUDY: OFFICE RELOCATION TO VAIL GOLF CLUB
May 11, 1994
I PROJECT STATEMENT
The Vail Park & Recreation District (hereinafter "VRD") must relocate administrative and
executive offices from the current location at 292 West Meadow Drive, beneath the Vail Public
Library, and must also expand existing golf offices at the Vail Golf Club, for the following
reasons:
1 overcrowded, inefficient existing office conditions;
2 desire to occupy a more user-friendly location for staff and patrons;
3 effective January 1, 1995, the VRD will begin paying $32,000 annual rent for the
current space. This rent will be charged to the General Fund and will go against
the Amendment 1 spending limit ceiling. This rent may be abated for 1995 if a
commitment is made to vacate by May 1, 1995;
4 the majority of relocation costs will be charged to the enterprise fund, and are not
subject to Amendment 1.
The VRD has evaluated all apparent expansion and relocation altematives. In order to maintain
its cunent high level of upper management effectiveness, to maximize taxpayer dollars for venues
other than for rent and to develop a more accessible location for the clients served, expanding the
Golf Club and relocating offices thereto is the proper solution.
This repoR seeks to define the office relocation, including space and proximity requirements,
associated costs and expansion procedures. This report also shall serve as an architectural
Request for Proposal, intended to solicit and define the scope of design services required to
accomplish the project.

.II EXISTING PROGRAM DEFINITION
1.0 The VRD administrative and executive offices currently occupy approximately 1,535
square feet beneath the Vail Library, while the golf offices cunently occupy
approximately 360 square feet in the golf club. This area is roughly subdivided as
follows:
1.1 ADMINISTRATIVE/EXECUTIVE OFFICES, total of 904 square feet, as
follows: i
BUSINESS MANAGER: Brian Jones 90 SF
ACCOUNTANT: Geneva Duran 65 SF
ASSISTANT ACCOLJNTANT: Lynda Lee 45 SF
SPECIAL EVENTS DIRECTOR: Dennis Nichols 65 SF
MARKETING DIRECTOR: Susanne Chardoul 190 SF
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY/RECEPTION: Jana Carvill 209 SF
VRD INTERN: Kevin Kairys 65 SF
EXECLTTIVE DIRECTOR: Rob Robinson 175 SF
1.2 LOGISTICAL SUPPORT, total of 307 square feet, as follows:
COPY/EQUIPMENT ROOM: 98 SF
RESTROOMS: 50 SF
GENERAL CIRCULATION: 159 SF
1.3 CONFERENCE, total of 324 square feet. 324 SF

FEASIBILITY STUDY: OFFICE RELOCATION TO VAIL GOLF CLUB May 11, 1994
2.0 In addition to inadequate space, these other conditions in both office locations inhibit
productivity, effectiveness and confidentiality:
Substandard workstation sizes and poor circulation;
Inadequate sound insulation between office stations; '
Inadequate ventilation;
Distant location of files from workstations;
Lack of parking and distance from parking to the offices;
Lack of seating for visitors, both in the general reception area and at the
individual workstations and offices.
3.0 T'here is an existing conference room at the golf club building, called the "Kreuger
Room", which is intended to become the primary large conference facility for the new
offices.
4.0 The golf club building is presently configured with flat roofs that are in poor condition,
requiring periodic snow removal in winter and occasional repair of leaks. In the course
of expanding the facility for offices, it is also intended that a phased plan be implemented
to create a new roof structure over the marginal flat roof areas.
5.0 The existing electrical service and panel at the golf club have been visually inspected and
evaluated to determine capacity. Seventy-seven of eighty-four available circuits distribute
power to the building from a 400 amp service. Unless the new offices are heated
electrically, the capacity shouid adequately carry the expanded use, however, due to the
presence of the kitchen, a detailed load calculation will need to be accomplished. T'he
primary panel is directly beneath the area to be expanded, eliminating the need for a sub-
panel.

III NEW PROGRAM DEFINITION
1.0 To accommodate the new offices, and expand existing golf offices, the Vail Golf Club .
building would be renovated in the area of the existing golf pro and administrative offices,
and expanded over the existing cart storage area. An engineering study conducted by
Boyle Engineering, Inc. confirms the capability of the existing structure, with certain
modifications, to support the proposed expansion. The engineering study is attached to
this report.
2.0 A listing of new office requirements is attached to this report. In generating this list, each
respective staff individual has been consulted, and their minimum requirements factored
into these conclusions. The new offices shall account for all administrative and executive
office functions, as well as for existing golf-related functions, summarized as follows:
ADMIrTISTRATIVE/EXECLTTIVE OFFICES: 1,020 SF
LOGISTICAL SUPPORT AREAS: 528 SF CONFERENCE: 120 SF
GOLF OFFICES: 400 SF
(
T O T A L: 2,068 SF
3.0 The new offices shall be designed in accordance with the following criteria:
l Size and arrangement shall respond to the list of required offices, spaces and
functions attached to this report. The conference facility listed is secondary to the
main conference room currently located in the golf club building;

2 Interior ceilings shall be of an acoustical grid type, at a minimum height of eight
feet; e
3 All exterior partitions and roofs/ceilings shall be therma]]y insulated. All interior
partitions shall be acoustically insulated;
4 Computer and communication systems shall be accommodated as required by the
VRD staff;
5 Mechanical systems shall include forced-air ventilation and heating to each room
or space, with equipment located in the ceiling or on the existing roof structure.
VENTILATION COMMENTARY:
While a forced air system is specified, other alternatives are available if costs
become an issue. T'he most economical heating installation would be radiant
electrical strip heat, however, operation costs would be greater. If electric
radiant heat is specified, natural ventilation would be required. In this situation,
natural ventilation is required at a rate of 1/20TH of the floor area served, which
can be satisfied by operable windows or doors to the exterior. If inechanical
ventilation is used, a rate of 15 CFM per occupant is required, of which 5 CFM
must come from an exterior source.
Office climate is greatly improved with mechanical ventilation rather than natural
ventilation, particularly in winter when it is unlikely for natural ventilation to
occur. The code does not address failure of natural ventilation during cold
weather, simply requiring operable windows or doors regardless of the exterior
climate. This results in poor winter office conditions with no circulation.
Thus, we strongly recommend a gas-fired, forced warm air system, with continuous, low volume ventilation when heat is not required Such a system
would satisfy ventilation requirements as well as provide a better environment for
the building.
6 Exterior systems and finishes shall match existing;
7 Offce expansion plans shall be integrated with a phased plan to construct a new
pitched-roof structure over the existing flat roof areas of the golf club building.
The roof enclosing the new offices shall integrate directly with these future roof
elements.
6
VAIL PARK & RECREATION DISTRICT
FEASIBILITY STUDY: OFFICE RELOCATION TO VAIL GOLF CLUB
May 11, 1994 .
The new roof structure shall be designed to cover most, if not atl, of the existing
flat roof areas, effectively placing existing roof equipment into an accessible,
openly ventilated mechanical attic or penthouse. T'he aesthetics of this phased
roof work shall be congruous with the office expansion and, while not necessarily
executed in detail, design and planning for this roof work shall occur in
' conjunction with the scope of the office expansion and subjected to the design
review process concurrently.
8 All building issues shall respond to the requirements of the UBC 91 code and ,
local ordinances.

V REPORT SUMMARY
1.0 Relocating VRD offices to the existing Golf Club is required due to overcrowded,
inadequate present conditions. If relocation does not occur, the VRD will begin on
January 1, 1995, to pay annual rent of $32,000 (fixed for the next forty years) on the
current space. Relocating to the Golf Club now will cost approximately $ 230,000.
Based upon rent expense, the cost of relocation would be recovered in just over seven
years.
2.0 Certain advantages to relocation cannot be easily expressed in dollars, but include:
Organized, functional and efficient administrative offices, combined with golf
administration. This is important because golf is the primary revenue source for
the district.
Greatly improved accessibility for staff and patrons.
An eye toward the future by beginning to remedy serious existing roof problems
at the Golf Club.

columns that parallels this wall to iniure that the footings uuder ihese two elements aze oot over s7essed.
. ' The,pipe colunms have the capacity to suFport the additional loading. 1'he framed bearing wall may require
new headers and/or addidonal studs. The steel beam over the pipe columns will require steel reinforcing if it •
receives additional line loading. However, if the roof loads are concentrated over the column locations, the
existing beam will be adequate.
Similazly, ihe 2x4 bearing wall on the north side of the Cart Barn may require more studs to strengthen it. T6e
spuies of the existing studs should be determined during the remodel process to see if any additional material .
will be required. The existing roof framiug over the entire envelope described on Shee[ 1 will be capable of
supporting llte new office floors. Furthermore, these systems have the capacity to acwmmoda[e [he additional
dead load of over &aming that may be requircd to create a level surFace Uuoughout the addition. Obviously,
this horizontal framing will require new trausfer beams if the roof framing imposes any point or line loads on
' iL As noted above, new reacdons from the roof frarning should be stacked over the recommended existing
walls and columns below.

This completes my analysis of the structure at this time. Sheet 1 should be •fairly self-explanatory, and should
graphically provide the Architect with the informarion he needs to complete his portion of the Feasibility
Study. I would be very interested in providing the Structural Engineering for this addition when and if you
decide to proceed with the program. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions regarding this
report, or if you have any further need of my services. `

C O L O R A D O 601 Center Circle • P. O. Box 1309 • Silverthorne, Colorado 80498
April 25, 1994
Neighboring Cities, Towns and Counties,
The Town of Silverthorne has recently reduced our funding for the Northwest Colorado
Council of Governments to a$500 contribution for the "Area Agency on Aging." The
decision not to fund the remaining programs was based on several factors. We feel it is
important for other members of NWCCOG to be awaze of our actions and understand the
issues from our view.
In a very brief summary the decision was based on three issues:
* Water Policy - In some cases the position taken by NWCCOG did not agree
with Town approved policy or actions.
* Value of Services - The value of services provided by NWCCOG staff to our
Community Development and Public Works staff was minimal.
* Water issues funded by the To,"n - The ToNvn agrees wiih many of the
programs addressed by NWCCOG but did not feel that it was appropriate for
the municipalities to fund these progranis.
The Town is sharing this inforniation with other participants to clarify our position. It is
not our intention to evaluate how NWCCOG provides services to your organization but to
let you know what we are doing. If you have any questions, please contact Tom Long or
Dallas Everhart at 468-9612.
Sincer ,
