It reiaiforces the hardness of the architecture and appears to be too urban. There is a need to increase the amount of landscaping to soften the mall's appearance. Suggestions were made to create small poclcets for sitting, especially where there are views, and to add more flowers and grassy areas, B '1 in The buildings at Lionshead were felt to be monotonous and drab. The color of the buildings (a dark brovvn) is viewed generally as both unpleasant and unsuccessful. Possib7e solutions: a theme image, more color Page 2 ~ (less concrete grey), use of architectural elements and/or landscape for linkages, and making exterior facades more uniform. It was felt that the latter may be difficult since the buildings have multiple owners. ~hop~ Better storefront lighting. Windows are presently too dark and hard to see in (there could be a problem because of multiple owners; changes to storefronts would require approval from condo owners). Simplify the DRB process to help store owners make improvements without such long delays. A master plan might help get designs approved more quiclcly • Shops in the Landmazk building are thought to be a good improvement model. Sundial Plaza - Overall, deemed unmemorable, ineffective as a destination; too large and barren. It needs something in the center; needs a more natural character. Consider adding morn grassy areas. Add a gazebo or band box for summer use. Fountain - In general, the fountain is falling apart and needs a facelift. It is poorly constructed and scaled. It is not attractive or visible and is not properly oriented to the central plaza space. One suggestion was to add tile work (like the Village bus stop tile work) to improve the facade. Improvement is a high priority. Site Furniture Most of the seat walls slope and are uncomfortable to sit on; thus not well used. Also not well oriented or sited. There is a need for more benches (not seatwalls), more sculvture and water. i na The inadequacy of signa e oses a number of problems. There is no theme or organized system for signs, no consistent iden , isitors are often confused and don't know what is in the mall, where the entries are, or where to go from the bus stops. Summer visitors seemed more disoriented than winter visitors and seem to require more guidance. Suggesdons were as follows: - Need a color - coded system, especially at entrances, to identify destinations - Add flags - Need directories at all entrances -Identify Lionshead in Village - - Need signage in Lionshead parking structure - Need hotel signage - Neon - bad or good? • • - Keep name of Lionshead? (or is it a barrier to identity with Vail as a whole?) - West end seems to be greatest problem area - Need better mapslshop lists at bus stops in Vail - Emulate quality of signage in old mountain resort towns like Salzburg and Innsbruck, Austria. Pedestrian Circulation Some pedestrian circulation paths could be made into stronger connections: _ - Between Vail 21 Building and Landmazk; also north of Vail 21, where access is presently blocked. - Back service area to Gondola by Sunbird - major congestion - a major drop-off point, but a poor introduction to azea - Path to parking structure at east end - how to get people from azena back to Lionshead --Access to gondola, after redevelopment, will be on-grade, and entries to building could vary Other comments: clearer, more user-friendly access into the mall from every location slow down pedestrian traffic, and strengthen corridor from Lionshead to recreadon desdnations. Vehicular Circulation . ' Access to Sundial Plaza for fire engines and snow removal vehicles must be preserved. The gondola requares truck access for mountain service, but truclcs are not allowed on Lionshead Mall. There was an objection to putting the police station on the parking structure - participants did not feel this was the best use. The issue is still open and must be heard by the Planning Commission. (There are deed d . ° Page 3 . . ~ restrictions concerning land uses on the parking structure site, which anust be public uses. It was felt the parking structure could be an impoRant and stronger link between new and old ilail. Other comments: how V.A. ownership and redevelopment of the Gondola/Sunbisd site might affect the west end entrance; how to guide autos to parking faalities after they make drop-offs; general consensus was that the east end of the mall works better than the west half. Users . Two main user groups were identified: day-skiers parking in the Lionshead structure and entering the mall from the east, and hotelllodge guests walking into the mall &om the west. A major design challenge is to get people to walk the full length of the mall from east to west. It was also noted that visitor numbers decline in the summer, as compared with winter. VA reps Hunn and Macy estimated that, on a busy day, 10,000 skiers (about 45°1'0) begin their day at Lionshead. Yet there are only about 450 beds in the Lionshead district; this suggests that much potential for pedestrian activity and retail business is presently being lost. Design . It was generally felt that Lionshead lacks detail, richness, and visual quality. The lack of color, light (unsafe at night?), entertainment, and nightlafe sseeemed dominant complaints. Spatial quality was a big issue: - There is litde variety in the widths of spaces and very few small-scale special places. - Some open spaces may have to be'lost to accomplish goals. - There is a waste of space at the west end of Sunbird. - Need summer play spaces foe kads. - Don't have to plowr everything; leave some snow - it creates a great winter play space for kids. - Look at other places and see what works. Other design comment,s: -Plan for public and pslvate recycling, -Do something rvith the tar roof aatd trash at the Landmark, -Do somethang watlt or at the °stupid horseshoe° -Create a better transition at the east sade of the Gondola building; at present, the abrupt aight-angle turn makes many visi4oas think there is nothing to see beyond it • -Improve the mid-level tercace ac Charlies T"s (Montaneros below Concert Hall Plaza) -Add more activities for icids aaid more family-oriented fian. Children's murals aatd art were , suggested, especially at the east end of the parking structure.• • ~ Bu- dW The amount available for improvements this year is $130,000, of which $30,000 is an escrow &om Lazier's Lifthouse Lodge expansion project. Expenditures in excess of this amount must be included in the Town of Vail's 1992 budget. A Lionshead master plan has been budgeted for 1992.

Summer visitors seemed more disoriented than winter visitors and seem to require more guidance. Suggestions were as follows: - Need a color - coded system, espeaally at entrances, to identify destinations - Add flags - Need directories at all entrances -Identify Lionshead in Village - Need signage in Lionshead parking structure - Need hotel signage - Neon - bad or good? • • - Keep name of Lionshead? (or is it a barrier to identity with Vail as a whole?) - West end seems to be greatest problem area - Need better maps/shop lists at bus stops in Vail - Emulate quality of signage in old mountain resort towns like Salzburg and Innsbruck, Austria. Pedestrian Circulation Some pedestrian circulation paths could be made into stronger connections: - Between Vail 21 Building and Landmark; also north of Vail 21, where access is presendy blocked. - Back service area to Gondola by Sunbird - major congesdon - a major drop-off point, but a poor introduction to azea - Path to parking structure at east end - how to get people from arena back to Lionshead -Access to gondola, after redevelopment, will be on-grade, and entries to building could vary Other comments: clearer, more user-friendly access into the mall from every locadon slow down pedestrian traEfic, and strengthen corridor from Lionshead to recreation destinations. Vehicular Circulation . Access to Sundial Plaza for fire engines and snow removal vehicles must be preserved. The gondola requires truck access for mountain senrice, but truclcs are not allowed on Lionshead Mall. There was an objection to putting the police station on the parking structure - partiapants did not feel this was the best use. The issue is still open and must be heard by the Planning Commission. (There are deed ~ ~ . ; . . Page 3 restrictions concerning land uses on the parking structure site, which must be public uses. It was felt the parking structure could be an importaaie and stronger link between new and old Vail. Other comments: how V.A. ownership and redevelopment of the Gondola/Sunbird site might affect the west end entrance; how to guide autos to pazking facilities after they make drop-oEfs; general consensus was that the east end of the mall works Ixtter than the west half. Users Two main user groups were identified: day-skiers parking iat the Lionshead structure and entering the mall from the east, and hotel/lodge guests walking into the mall hom the west: A major design challenge is to get people to walk the full length of the mall from east to west. It was also noted tlta4 visitor numbers decline in the summer, as compared with winter. VA reps Hunn and RRacy estimated that, on a busy day, 10,000 skiers (about 459'0) begin their day at Lionshead. Yet there are only abou4 450 beds in the Lionshead dis4rict; this suggests that much potendal for pedestrian activity and retail business is presently being lost. Design It was generally felt that Lionshead lacks detail, richness, and visual quality. The lack of color, light (unsafe at night?), entertainment, and nightlife seemed dominant complain#s. Spatial quality was a big issue: - There is little variety in the widths of spaces and very few small-scale special places. - Some open spaces may have eo ba lost to accomplish goals. - There is a waste of space at the vvest end of Sunbird. - Need summer play spaces foc kids. - Don't have to plow everything; leave some snow - it creates a great wranter play space for kids. - Look at other places and see what works. Other design comments: -Plan for public and private a+ecyclang, -Do someching with the tae gaaf and trash at the Landmark, -Do soa?ethang vvath or at the °stupad hoaseshoe° -Create a better teansitaon at clie eas4 sade of the Gondola building; ae pxesent, tlte abrupt right-angle turn makes many visitors think 4here is nothing to see beyond at -Improve the mid-level terrace at Charlies T's (Montaneros below Concert Fiall I'laaa) -Add more activities for kids aaid raiom famaly-oaiented fun. Cltildren's mtagals aaid art were , suggested, especially at ehe east end of the parking structure., • Bu-~~ , The amount available for improvements this year is $130,000, of which $30,000 is in escrow from Lazier's Lifthouse Lodge expansion project. Expenditures in excess of this amount must be included in the Town of Vail's 1992 budget. A Lionshead master plan has been budgeted for 1992.

VAIL CO 81657 Dear SUZAIVIVE SILVERTHORIV: Vail Associates is delighted to be working with Vail Valley Medical Center this year to coordinate a community-wide Health Fair. The Health Fair will be held Friday, July 29 from 7 am - 7 pm, at the Eagle-Vail Pavilion, I have agreed to tackle the job of commuriicating with local businesses and coordinating health fair registration. If we-all work together, we can make the Health Fair ahuge success! The wave of the future is preventative medicine, aka wellness. Keeping employees healthy saves time and money for everyone. The Vail Valley Health Fair will include health screenings, information booths and many other useful displays, all designed to provide helpful health tips. The goal of the Fair is to educate participants about their current health status and give them information to help them stay healthier longer! It is not however, a substitute for a comprehensive physical by a physician. For people in the Valley who do not have a doctor, a number of physicians will be available in the evening hours for people to meet and ask questions. I will be sending you flyers and pre-registration forms in the near future. I hope you in turn will distribute them to all of your employees. Because of the logistics involved, we would appreciate your help in gathering the pre-registration forms for your employees and forwarding them to the hospital as a group. A discounted rate is available on some of the tests for those who pre-register. Because this is a community event, the organizing committee welcomes additional volunteers and/or , your financial support to help defray expenses. If you have any questions, please call me at 479-3045 or contact Patti Pickering at Vail Valley 1Vledical Center, 479-7260. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and support! .

Avon-Beaver Creek Transit will pick up the other half. If we pledge $325, VVMC intends to ask Eagle County to pick up the other $325. Sounds like a worthy community service project to me...however, I have no discretionary funds remaining in my budget. Any suggestions? > MEI~ORANI) UM 'II'O: Vail Town Council 1FR: Bob 1VTcLaurin, Town Manager RIE: FY 1995 Budget , DT: June 16, 1994 Introduction The purpose of the memorandum is to outline schedule for the preparing, reviewing and adopting the 1995 budget.

Finally, I have articulated the fundamental assumptions on which the FY 95 budget will be based. Budget Schedule The schedule for preparing, reviewing and adopting the budget is as follows. Obviously, the dates set for the Council review can be adjusted to accommodate the Council's schedule. The Town Charter (Article IX) requires the budget be adopted prior to the end of this fiscal year. It also mandates that a public hearing on the budget be held by the Council no later than thirty (30) days prior to the close of the fiscal year.

First and foremost it is a financial plan that allocates resources in support of municipal policies and prograrns established by the Council. The municipal budget is also a policy document. The budget should serve as a guide to municipal operations. It should identify the organizational structure, identify departmental functions and identify significant programs and policies. Finally the budget must serve as a comrriunication device. The budget is not an authorization for expenditure. Expenditures are authorized only through the Town's purchasing policy. In fiscal year 1995, we will continue to move toward a true program based performance budget. As in FY 94, we will identify specific programs, establish goals for each program and identify performance measures for each goal. The most significant difference this year will be that we wili begin costing each of the major programs. ln others words, we will identifying specific program costs. It should be noted it will take several years to complete the cost accounting approach. The major changes to the budget this year will be in the area of the format of the budget document. These changes are intended to make the budget a more comprehensive policy document. The new format will highlight departmental and organizational issues and address the policy issues that form the foundation of the budget. Budget Assumptions . Based on previous understandings with the Town Council, the FY 95 budget will maintain program and services at 19941evels. Accordingly, each department will receive approximately the same amount of revenue as last year'. If a department wishes to increase service levels, add a new program, or add employees it will be necessary to prepare a justification. If a department head or the Council wishes reduce level of service or to eliminate a program, the revenues for the department will be adjusted accordingly. ]This revenue will be adjusted for intlation. It also assumes that revenues come in as forecasted. If actual revenues fall below the forecasts, it will be necessary to assess the deficiency and reduce expenditures accordingly. a 1VllHi1V'llO1{OAl\DIV 19'll 'd'O: Vail Town Council lFllB: Bob McLaurin, Town 1Vlanager ~ RE: FY 1995 Budget 1[DT: June 16, 1994 Introduction The purpose of the memorandum is to outline schedule for the preparing, reviewing and adopting the 1995 budget.

WOOD District Ranger Approved by VETO J. LASALLE Forest Supervisor d. Lands which include floodplain or wetlands. e. On lands having outstanding scenic values or critical ecosystems, when these resources are threatened by change of use or when management may be enhanced by public ownership. f. Lands which are National Forest in character that provide essential big game winter range and are valuable for other National Forest purposes. 2. Classify lands for conveyance according to the following priorities: a. To states, counties, cities, or other federal agencies when conveyance will serve a greater public interest. b. In small parcels intermingled with mineral or homestead patents. c. Suitable for development by the private sector, if development (residential, agricultural, industrial, recreational, etc.) is in the public interest. d. When critical or unique resources (wetlands, flood plains, essential big game winter range, threatened or endangered species habitat, historical or cultural resources, critical ecosystems, etc.) only when effects are mitigated by reserving ~ interest to protect the resource, or by exchange where other critical resources to be acquired are considered to be of equal or greater value. In addition, the Forest Service Manual direction is to avoid the disposal of National Forest System Lands occupied under term permit unless the existing permitted use can be.accommodated by agreement with the permittee. These term permits were issued and are administered based on a favorable determination that such facilities are in the public interest. In many cases, these lands contain permanent improvements crucial to the operation of the permit and may best be managed under the private ownership of the permittee. The needs and concerns of local cor,ununities are an important component in determining the desired future condition of landownership patterns along common boundaries. The Town of Vail landownership working group formulated a set of goals for the desired future condition based on a ten year planning horizon: 1. That there be no National Forest System lands within the municipal limits of the Town of Vail. 2. That the Forest Service survey, identify, and maintain the common boundary of the Town of Vail and the Forest Service and that both 7 _ ~ I, , y- . . . agencies share in the enforcement of regulations pertaining to the boundary. The boundary has been simplified where possible, irregularities have been reduced or eliminated. 3. That all land exchanges and purchases optimize both local and national public benefit. Conflicts with local interests are recognized in the decision making process of all land exchanges and purchases, and all efforts are made to address and minimize those conflicts. 4. That all lands acquired by the Tokn of Vail are used for public purposes such as open spsce, employee housing (per Town of Vail Employee Housing Ordinance), recreation or for the resolution of unauthorized uses. 5. That the Town of vail, --agle County, or the Forest Service acquire all privately owned tracts, parcels, and previously unplatted lands adjacent to, and outside of, the ccr.unon Town of Vail and Forest Service boundary. These lands are transferred to the National Forest System, Eagle County, or the Town of Vail where joint objectives are satisfied. 6. That public access to National Forest System lands be maintained or improved. New access points meet Town of Vail and Forest Service needs. ' 7. That National r^orest System lands within the study area thot are , encumbered with abandoned uses, unauthorized uses, or infrastructure related facilities are reduced or eliminsted. 8. That the Town of Vail and National Forest recreation opportunities are jointly planned and integrated. 9. That all unincorporated, platted residential areas within the study area are annexed within the municipal limits of the Town of Vail. 10. That the wood fiber .production emphasis management area (7E), as identified in the Forest Plan, that can be viewed from the Town of Vail be replaced by a recreation emphasis prescription. 11 That new developments are discouraged on private lands that exist outside and adjacent to the Town of Vail. The above statements represent both goals that the Town of Vail, Eagle County, and the Forest Service will pursue in partnership, others are individual goals. ror example, the discouragement of new developments on private lands (Item 11) is outside the jurisdiction of the Forest Service and would be the burden of the Town of Vail and Eagle County. 8 - ~ 6:1LIU~~~i RESOL@9TBOIV NO. 17 SERBES OF 1994 A RES~LUTOON ESTABL9SF1ING COIVD94101VAL SUPP0RT BY THE VABL TOWIV COUNCIL FOR THE P9NEY VALLEY RANCFB TRIDST LAIVD E%CFiANCC;E. WHEREAS, the proponents of the Piney Valley Ranch Trust Land Exchange which has also been referred to as the Lindholm Land Exchange have requested the support of the Vail Town Council; and WHEREAS, the proposed land exchange would increase the amount of publicly owned space to the west of Vail and ensure that any future development would not be visible from the Town of Vail; and WHEREAS, by giving the eastern most part of the Nottingham parcel to the Forest Service in exchange for other Forest Service property adjacent to the site, the Elliot stream basin would be made accessible to the public throughout its length which stream basin has value for wildlife and for allowing the continuation of a recreational trail in the Vail Valley; and WHEREAS, this exchange would not be inconsistent with the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan between the Town of Vail and the U.S. Forest Service which is intended is to discourage private development through exchanges and encourage public use around the Town boundary; and WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council believes that the Nottingham portion of the Piney Valley Ranch Trust Land Exchange benefits the Town of Vail. iV01N, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Council of the Town of Vail, Colorado: 1. Town Council, based upon available information, expresses its intention, desire, and expectation that the Town of Vail will support the 335 acre exchange at what is known as the IVottingham parcel. 2. That said support is conditioned upon the following qualifications regarding development and the other exchange parcels in the Lindholm proposal: (a) In as much as the Piney Valley Trust does not have any formal development proposal and no planning or environmental analysis on the Nottingham parcel has been completed, the Town of Vail can not express its support for the development of the site; (b) In as much as the Towrn of Vail has not had an opportunity to evaluate the other proposed exchanges in Costilla Cou.nty, Sweetwater Lake, Piney Valley, and on the Eagle River, the Town can not express its support for these exchanges; Resolution No. 17, Series of 1994 I r M~t.n~E.(i ~i (c) In as much as the Towrn of Avon is adjacent to the Nottingham parcel and no formal opinion has yet been issued by the Town of Avon, the Town of Vail will respect the opinion of the Town of Avon on the exchange. (d) In as much as the iVottingham parcel is located within Eagle County and no formal opinion has yet been issued by the County Commissioners, the Town of Vail will respect the opinion of Eagle County on the exchange. 3. That the Town Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this resolution is necessary and proper for the health, safety, and welfare of the Town of Vail and the inhabitants thereof. 4.

This edition examines April 1994 sales tax collections for all monthly filers. Overall April sales tax decreased by 9.3% with Retail decreasing by 13.4%, Lodging by 9.4%, Food and Beverage by 8.8% and Other (which includes anything not in the previous categories) increased by 7.2%. One reason for the decrease in April was that Easter was in 1Vlarch in 1994 and Easter was in April in 1993. March sales tax collections are up approximately 12.7% over 1993 collections. Please remember when reading the Vail Business Review that it is produced from sales tax collections, as opposed to actual gross sales.

The current inventory of permanently deed-restricted employee housing units constructed within the Town of Vail since 1992 is 14. Approximately 18 other units were created before passage of the housing ordinance in 1992. Another 71 units have been approved but not constructed.

Police Chief Ken Hughey says the bike patrol will add a new dimension 4o the depar4ment's in4erac4ion and visibility vvifih the public. "Since 1974 we've had officers pafirolling on bicycles, but vve have novv formalized the concept to be more responsive to the needs of the community and the Police Department," said Hughey. "We also have reviewed similar programs in other communities to put togefiher the best approach for Vail." The new program will showrcase the talents of Officer Tracey Shutter, a familiar fiace on the police fiorce since 1991. Shutter will patrol the area from West Forest Road east to the soccer field. Her duties will include the patrol of high pedestrian traffic areas, the fviro parking structures, bike paths and special events. In addition, Shutter will ac4ivate a bicycle fraffic enforcement program. The bike pa4rol will be operational weekends and selected weekdays from June 4hrough September. "Should this concept prove 4o be a valuable law enforcement tool, we will increase the (more) Bike/Add 1 number of officers involved in the program and increase the areas in Vail wl-iere this approach is used," Hughey said. Shutter's custom-painted bike is outfitted with special police saddle bags and other equipment. The cost of the bike program, including training and equipment, is approximately $700.
