areas, and convention space. The amount of common area available for multi-
family proiects will not increase. Please see the attached PEC memo for a
detaifed analysis of the proposal. On July 25, 1994, the PEC voted 7-0,
recommending approval of the proposed changes.

easement for the Covered Bridge Building.

changes to the above referenced Chapters of the Municipal Code.
On August 22, 1994, the PEC approved the proposed text changes.
Staff Recommendation: Staff requests that Council approve Ordinance No. 21,
Series of 1994, on first reading.
8:45 P.M. 5. Roost Lodge Sign Variance Appeal. The applicant, the Roost Lodge, is requesting
George Ruther a variance from the Town of Vail Sign Code, specifically from the wall sign 9-inch
projection and maximum 20 square foot size requirements.
Action Repuested of Council: Approve, approve with conditions, or deny the sign
variance request.
BackQround Rationale: The applicant currently has a wall sign which does not
conform with the Town of Vail Sign Code. The existing sign, originally approved
in March of 1979, is an illuminated cabinet box sign approximately 93 square fee
in size and is mounted 5 to 6 feet from the face of the building wall. The existing
sign is located on the south face of the registration building facing in a southerly
direction towards the North Frontage Road and I-70.
The new sign the applicant is proposing will be displayed in approximately the
same location as the existing sign. The proposed text of the sign will read °°Fioost
Lodge'°. The size of the sign proposed by the applicant is approximately 33
square feet in overall size, with the text being a maximum of 20 square feet in size.
Thus, the need for a walf sign, size variance, for a sign greater than the maximum
20 square feet and a variance for a wall sign projection of 5 to 6 feet is required.
Please see the Community Development Department memo to the Design Review
Board dated August 17, 1994.
This request was heard by the Design Review Board at their August 17, 1994,
meeting. At that meeting; the Board unanimously (vote of 4-0) recommended
approval of this request to the Town Council.
Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the requested sign
variance. Staff has reviewed the sign, location, lighting and other characteristics
of the sign and finds that the proposed sign is in harmony with the Sign Code and
variance criteria.

The first iEem on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Darren Rowe of Eagle approached the Town
Council, expressing his opposition to a proposed ordinance which would ban the possession and sale
of assault weapons in the Town of Vail. Mayor Osterfoss thanked Mr. Rowe for taking time to bring
his opinion to Council and suggested he be present during first reading of the ordinance at the
evening meeting on September 6, 1994. Second on the agenda was a Consent Agenda consisting of approval of the minutes for the meetings of July 5 and July 19,1994. Jim Shearer moved to approve the minutes, with a second by Merv Lapin.
A vote was taken and approved 'unanimously, 6-0. Tom steinberg arrived following the vote.
Item RTo. 3 was Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1994, a supplemental appropriation to purchase Trapper's
Run. Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Steve Thompson explained the proposed funding.
appropriation in detail, stating the land would be purchased from two funds: the general fund,
$703,000; and the capital projects fund, $1.87 million. Mayor Osterfoss said the Council decided
against use of Real Estate Transfer Tax funds in order to "maintain flexibility" as to the future use
of the property and/or any land that may be traded to the Town in exchange for portions of
Trapper's Run. A motion was made by Merv Lapin to approve Ordinance No. 16, with a second from
Tom Steinberg. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item 1Vo. 4 was Resolution No. 17, Series of 1994, a Resolution Establishing Conditional Support by
the Vail Town Council for the Piney Valley Ranch Trust Land Exchange. Mayor Osterfoss read the
title in full. Russell Forrest reviewed a May, 1994, memo to the Vail Town Council from Commuruty
Development pertaining to the Nottingham Ranch Parcel of the Lindholm Land Exchange. Russ
reviewed the background, as well as pros and cons associated with the proposed exchange, the
benefits to the Town of Vail, and presented an overhead display, detailing the location of the
Nottingham Ranch portion of the tand exchange. Russ answered questions firom various citizens and
reviewed particular details of the proposed land swap. Discussion included possible benefits to the
Town of Vail as a result of the trade, a Congressional vs. an Administrative exchange, and the
Council's history of opposing land trade for development.
Bill Post, attorney representing the Piney Valley Ranch Trust, presented colored maps of the parcels
included in the proposed trade and explained the proposed development. Mr. Post stated the Piney
- Valley Ranch Trust had offered to commit to a development density of one unit per acre or less, as
well as donate ten (10) acres to an entity (Town of Vail, Town of Avon, or Eagle County) willing to
provide affordable/employee housing on the land.
Discussion continued with Mr. Post answering questions from Council members. Council concerns
included water storage and damming and the affect the land trade would have on the State of
Colorado. Jim Shearer was concerned if Council approved Resolution 17, it might set a precedent, which would make gaining approval of Eagle County easier. Discussion continued regarding ways
to guarantee development density and the offer to donate ten acres for affordable/employee housing.
Tom Moorhead suggested entering into letters of intent, until zoning is established.
Prior to taking comment from the public, Mayor Osterfoss reiterated the discussion only pertained
to the Nottingham Ranch parcel of the proposed land trade. Members of the public voicing their opposition to the proposed land trade included:
Tom Johnson, Allen Nottingham, Mike Sellon, and Dick Dixon (presented 2000 signatures of County
residents, opposing the swap), residents of Avon; Tom Mullen, and Scott whose last name was
1 Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes 08/02l94
inaudible, residents of Eagle-Vail; Ida Case, of Gypsum; Bruce, of Vail Community Foods; Jenny
Maxfield, and Maggie Hurley, of Wolcott; David Rickhart, Marka Moser, and Mr. Rondeau, of Vail;
Corkey Simmons, of Eagle; Ken Morgan from Interlocken; Jim Olsen of the State Bridge area; Dick Ostowal, John Sheen, and Pete, whose last name was inaudible.*
Concerns from the public included: Congressional vs. Administrative process; environmental impacts;
elk migration/calving; Vail Council supporting only a portion of the land trade when all parcels
involved are located outside Town of Vail Boundaries; conditional support from Vail on the
Nottingham parcel would imply Vail's support for the entire land trade. Certain individuals opposed
felt that with conditional support from the Vail Town Council, Eagle County might be more apt to
give support as well.
Council members continued to discuss their concerns. Tom Steinberg made a motion to deny
Resolution No. 17, with a second from Sybill Navas. Discussion continued with Jan Strauch, Jim
Shearer and Peggy Osterfoss explaining their being in favor of the resolution. A vote was taken to
deny Resolution No. 17 and passed, 4-3, Jan Strauch, Jim Shearer and Peggy Osterfoss opposed.
Item No. 5 was a request from East West Partners for permission to obtain a utility easement on
Town stream tract property adjacent to Russell's Restaurant. Paul Johnston moved to approve the
request, with a second from Jim Shearer. Greg Hall gave a brief overview of the request. A
representative from East West partners was available to answer questions. After brief discussion,
Merv Lapin called the question. A vote was taken and approved unanimously, 7-0.
Item No. 6 was an information update. Pam Brandmeyer presented additional requests for
contributions in 1994. Pam also informed Council there would be no meeting scheduled on August
30, 1994.
Item No. 7 was Council reports and included the following:

The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Thea Rumford, who resides at 675 Forest

PEC, detailing the request from Jay Peterson to amend section 18.57 of the Town Code. Andy
explained the proposed ordinance would amend the definition of GRFA to allow common area to
be converted to Type III and Type N employee housing units, as conditional uses. Andy and Mike
Mollica continued answering questions pertaining to the details of the ordinance and stated the PEC
had recommended approval of the ordinance. Jay Peterson explained he felt the ordinance would be
beneficial not only to his project, but to others as well. Council members discussed their positions
with regard to the ordinance, and requested the last line in section B.2.(h) be changed to state that
in cases where housing would be converted back to common area, the Town would require the
employee housing units be replaced within the town of Vail. A motion was made by Sybill Navas
to pass Ordinance No. 17 with changes. Paul Johnston seconded the motion. Tom feared the
ordinance would create the potential to convert convention/meeting space, as well as athletic club
facilities into employee housing units. Merv expressed concern about increased density. A vote was
taken and passed, 5-2, Tom Steinberg and Merv Lapin opposed. Item 1Vo. 4 was Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1994, first reading, an ordinance vacating the utility and

1 Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes 1?J7/93
approve Ordinance 20, with a second from Paul Johnston. Tom Moorhead pointed out the word

passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item No. 7 was Resolution No. 19, Series of 1994, a Resolution authorizing the Town Manager to
negotiate a contract to refurbish{reconstruct the Covered Bridge. Greg Hall explained work would

to approve Resolution No. 19, with Jan Strauch seconding the motion. Discussion continued
pertaining to bidding the project vs. negotiating. Bob McLaurin said the town intends to negotiate
a fee for the work through an advertising process rather than bid the project in an effort to produce
a competitive fee. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item No. S was a DRB Appeal/Gustafson. The applicant, Mr. Dick Gustafson, was appealing the
paved parking condition of approval placed upon his proposed residential exterior alteration and
interior remodel by the Design Review Board (DRB) at the August 3, 1994 meeting. Mr. Gustafson
was represented. at the meeting by his architect, Mr. Ken Wentworth. George Ruther, planner on the
project, passed pictures illustrating the property currently, and explained the proposed residential
addition. Kent Wentworth explained.his client's situation in detail. Mike Mollica informed Council
that Mr. Gustafson was contesting a staff policy, which was part of the zoning code. Mike suggested
the proper process would be for Mr. Gustafson to ask the PEC for a paving variance or request an
appeal of the staff policy. Paul Johnston suggested the appeal be withdrawn and directed Mr.
Gustafson to proceed with the proper process. Mr. Wentworth agreed, and requested his appeal be
withdrawn, stating he would apply to the PEC to appeal the staff policy. Jim Shearer moved to
approve the withdrawal, with a second by Tom Steinberg. A vote was taken and passed, 7-0.

for 94 funding requests. Other issues discussed included: public use of police building conference and
training rooms and possible public parking in the new lot; encouraging employee carpooling; helipad
status; updated fire study this year; Paul asked that notes hom the Vail Commons meeting be
amended to reflect a clarification comment made by Bill Wilto. Wilto had stated residents were
promised a West Vail fire station during consolidation of fire districts not during annexation as some
residents had stated at the meeting; conversions of hotel rooms to condos - Bob McLaurin was asked
to follow up.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn the meeting was made and passed .

TO: Design Review Board
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: August 17, 1994
SUBJECT: A sign variance request for the Roost Lodge located at 1783 fVorth Frontage
Road/Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12, a resub. of Buffehr Creek Subdivision.
Applicant: Julian and Chris Mazili
Planner: George Ruther
0. DESCRIPTV0N OF THE REQUEST The applicant, the Roost Lodge, represented by co-owner Julian Mazili, is requesting a
variance from the Town of Vail Sign Code, specifically from the wall sign 9-inch projection and
maximum 20 square foot size requirements.
The applicant currently has a wall sign which does not conform with the Town of Vail Sign
Code. The existing sign, originally approved in March of 1979, is an illuminated, cabinet box
sign approximately 93 square feet in size and is mounted 5 to 6 feet from the face of the
' building wall. The existing sign is located on the south face of the registration building facing
in a southerly direction towards the North Frontage Road and I-70.
The new sign the applicant is proposing will be displayed in approximately the same location
as the existing sign. The proposed text on the sign will read "Fi00ST LODGE". The size of
the sign proposed by the applicant is approximately 33 square feet in overall size with the text
being a maximum of 20 square feet in size. Thus, the need for a wall sign, size variance for a
sign greater than tlie maximum 20 square feet and a variance for a wall sign projection of 5 to
6 feet is required. .
Section 16.04.320 (Definitions) of the Town of Vail Sign Code defines a wall sign as:
"a sign attached to, painted on, or erected against a wall of a building or
structure with the exposed face of the sign in a plain parallel to the base of the
wall and not projecting more than 9 inches from the base of the wall."
Additionally, Section 16.22.155(B) (Size - Wall Signs - Single Business Use) permits a single
business:
"2.5 square feet of sign for each 5 front lineal feet of the building with a
maximum area of 20 square feet. The combined maximum area for more than
one sign shall not exceed 20 square feet."
.
,
II. FINDINGS AND CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship
and the Board must find that,
A. There are special circumstances or conditions applyinq to the land buildinqs
topoqraphy, veqetation, siqn structures or other matters on adiacent lots or
within the adiacent riqht-of-way which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the siqn in question; provided, however, that such sqecial
circumstances or conditions are unique to the particutar business or enterprise
to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not applv qenerally to all
businesses or enterprises.
Staff Response:
Staff believes that special circumstances, applying to the Roost Lodge restrict the
effectiveness of a wall sign mounted 9 inches or less from the building wall and that a
maximum size of 20 square feet, exists. Specifically, the registration building, the
location where the applicants are proposing their sign, has a unique front eave and
front elevation design which would adversely impact the effectiveness of a wall
mounted sign 9 inches or less from the face of the building wall. The front elevation is
nearly all windows. To mount a wall sign would be difficult from a structural standpoint
. and would affect the amount of natural light allowed to filter into the registration/lobby
area of the hotel as well as the living space located above the registration/lobby area.
Secondly, the front eave design on the registration building is such that a wall sign
mounted 9 inches from the building face would have a limited view corridor. .The front '
eave on the registration building is a prow in design, with the eave projecting out at its
greatest point approximately 6 feet. To mount the sign pursuant to Code would, in
essence, bury the sign up underneath the eave, therefore limiting the amount of visual
exposure (see visibility diagram attached).
The Roost Lodge is dependent upon business generated by traffic on both the North
Frontage Road and the Interstate. The proposed sign ptacement will be approximately
150 feet from the Interstate. Per the Letter Visibilitv Chart submitted with the sign
application by the applicant, prepared by the Colorado Institute of Technology, the
maximum impact for readable distance of 150 feet would be a letter height of 15
inches. The proposed letter heights for the-Roost Lodge sign are 15 inches for the text
"Roost" and 8 inches for the text "Lodge". Again, the applicant has proposed the text
portion of the proposed sign to not exceed 20 square feet.
B. That special circumstances were not created bv the applicant or anvone in privv
to the applicant.
2
n
~
Staff Response:
The current owners of the Roost Lodge purchased the accommodation facility in the
spring on 1994. Staff believes that the applicant did not deliberately create unusual
circumstances that would not allow him to adhere to the wall sign 9-inch projection
requirement of the Code. Additionally, since the Roost Lodge building was constructed
in the 1970's, prior to the construction of I-70, it was not of any action undertaken by
the applicant which caused the building to be located the distance it is from the
interstate.
C. That the qrantinq of the variance will be in qeneral harmony with the purpose of
this title and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residinq or workinq
in the vicinitv, to adiacent propertv, to the neiGhborhood or to the public welfare
in qeneral.
Staff Response:
Staff feels that the request for the variance allowing the applicant to construct a wall
sign greater than 9 inches from the wall base of the building and to further allowr for a
sign greater than the 20 foot maximum currently allowed by the Sign Code is
reasonable, and is in harmony with the general purpose of the Sign Code, since the
applicant is not proposing to create the text portion greater than 20 square feet. Staff
does not believe the requested sign will be materially detrimental to other persons or
businesses residing and conducting business in the vicinity.
D. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this title anv
more than is reauired to identifv the applicant's business or use
Staff Response:
Again, as stated earlier in this memo, the applicant is requesting only to erect the sign
far enough from the building to allow the sign to be adequately viewed from the North
Frontage Road and the Interstate, and to have the text no greater than 20 square feet.
The additional 14 square feet of sign area requested by the applicant is mainly for
aesthetic purposes and to create harmony between the sign and the existing
architecture of the front eave.
esl. STAFF RECOflAMENDAY00N
Staff is recommending approval of the requested sign variance to allow for a wall sign to be
mounted greater than 9 inches from a building face and to allow the proposed sign to be 34
square feet rather than the maximum 20 square feet as outlined in the Town of Vail Sign
Code. Staff has reviewed the sign, location, lighting and other characteristics of the sign and
finds that the proposed sign is in harmony with the Sign Code and variance criteria listed
above.

~
The new owners of the Ruus1 Lodge have inher{ted a sign of approximately 92 square teet which doe5 not 1
comfort to siie, placemerit or ~ontemporary standards. 'Ihey wish HigbTech to fab~icate a repjacement,.sign that
will conform to alt aspects of the current sign code. However the fotlowing two variances are being requested.
Variance numher nne, projecEion. The only place for placement of a wall sign on, th~ building tkat can be visiblc
from the east and the west directions, is in the peak of the registration building. The Town of Vait Sign Code,
sect;on 16.04.320 1iii-iiLs wall signs to not projecting more than nine inches frorn the face of the wall. . ;
The Tawn of Vail Sign Code, saction 16,20.210 limits wall signs to 20 square Feet. Per the definition in'section
16.04.320, t}ie square footage includes the surround border outside the text. ~
The new sign is being proposed as shown on the attached drawing. The distance from the walf to the frOnt of the ~
eaves, ratigeD from approximate?y 4 to 6 feei. Placement against the wall is not passbhle sinCe the wa11 has :
windows permitting light and ventilation to the second levet li-ving unit. Placement agairtst the wall is also not ~
Practical since the sign would not be visible, excePt for a 10 to 20 degree N7ew°in qrndqr, frorn the roadwa j
$ . c. . Y•
From s safety feature, trsfTic driying on North Frontnge Road Wcst, should be ablc ?o scc thc IodSe nanie witli .
sufficient time to sign a turn and slowdown safely. A variance as to project+on from ilie wsll would permit the'
above goa1s to be achieved.1n addition, t'rom a stnictural point, bracing a raceway'across the beam (not to
e.xtend beyond the roof 66e), and fastening the sign to the supporting raceway and tci the eavES vig haclc rracing, will provide the strength tq support the weight and hoid the sign rigid in high wind cbnditions. ;
Currentiy the RooS4 Lodge has teat that is 19" high for the ROOST LODGE, and 10" high for EC4NOMICAL ~
LODvING- HEATBI3 YUUL, "che attached request contains text that is 1 S" high for ROOST, and high for
LODGE, a siqnificant reduction in size from the existing sign. The area arniind the cign is t?Ping viewed as .
decorative and not text or logo or anything directly associated with the property, but an attempt to make the sign f
less obtrusive as a sign. f

The Sign placement will be, app,*oximately 150 fee4 from 170. Pcr tho attaciicd visibility chart, maximum iinpact ,
would be reachca for Raost, but not for I,odge text. In addition, the colors selected are not the maximum j
visibility of red or black ori white. VVith a placement near the face o#'the building, (but inside 4he two exi5ting
beams), and a 45. degree best viewing angle, at 65 mijes per hour a driver would have 125' tc, see the sign. Thia
woutd tquate to 1 1/2 seconds before the driver was Fast the sign. This propeiiy eompetes with other lodges for
drive by Yraffe (the majority of iti revenues). The West Vnil Lodgc and VVendyys, bo.th nearby busiciesses, bt?th ;
have sign, vvhen the perimeter of the.si$n is measured, exceed the limi4 SeY iri the ordinanCCe, y
As demonstra.ted above, t}ie new owners of the Roost Lodge have a hafdship that is nciti cauced hy them, and ~
could be corrected bp permitting 4he sign to be attacbed to the eaves and projectin g beams; as shown ori the
attachec9 drawings. .

AflEMORAfVDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: September 6, 1994
SUBJECT: Town Council review of Planning and Environmental Commission's recent
. approval of setback and site coverage variances and a major exterior alteration
in the Commercial Core II (CCII) zone district for the Lifthouse Lodge located at
555 East Lionshead Circle, legally described as a portion of Lot 3, Btock 1, Vail
Lionshead 1 st Filing.
Applicant: Robert T. Lazier, represented by Galen Aasland and Jay
Peterson
Planner: Jim Curnutte
On August 22, 1994, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved the
requested setback and site coverage variances and a major exterior alteration in the CCII ,
zone district. The vote was 4-1. Kathy Langenwalter voted in opposition to the motion
because she felt that Montauk and Bart and Yeti's needed to tie in better with the rest of the
proposed remodel. The PEC's approval of the above described remodel was granted with the
following conditions. The conditions listed below are listed as they were originally
recommended to the PEC by the staff. Changes to the conditions of approval made by the
PEC at the August 22, 1994 meeting are indicated in bold gype:
1. At time of building permit issuance, the applicant shall be required to pay into
the Town of Vail Parking Fund. As mentioned in the Zoning Analysis section of
this memo, the parking requirement for the proposed commercial expansion is
2.175 spaces which currently equates to a parking pay-in-lieu fee of
$18,692.82. It should be pointed out that these figures were derived from the
conceptual drawings provided to date, which are not fully dimensioned. The
parking pay-in-lieu fee wrill be recalculated when a building permit application
and construction drawings are provided for Town review.
2. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed addition, the
applicant uvill contact the Vail Building and Fire Departments to determine
whether or not the proposed addition will require the retro-sprinkler of the
Lifthouse building.
3. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide a
pedestrian easement across the southeastern portion of the lot to ensure
continued unrestricted pedestrian access through this area.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS
Robert T. and Diane J. Lazier would like to construct a 325 square foot, one-story, addition to
the commercial spaces located on the first floor of the Lifthouse Lodge Building. The
proposed changes involve the tenant spaces currently being leased by Montauk, Pizza
Bakery, Bart and Yeti's and FirstBank. This application will require PEC review of setback
and site coverage variances as well as a major CCII exterior alteration. Each portion of this
request is further described as follows:
A. Setback Variance
With the exception of Bart and Yeti's, the proposed addition will extend the southern
wall of the above-mentioned lease spaces from 6 feet to 12 feet further south of the
existing building facade. Additionally, a portion of the FirstBank commercial space will
be extended approximately 6 feet to the east. The FirstBank eastward expansion will
bring the building to within 8.5 feet of the eastern property line. The applicant is
proposing that the Pizza Bakery portion of the expansion be extended to the south
property line. Setback variances are required in order to allow the addition to encroach
9.5 feet into the repuired 10 foot setback on the south side of the buildinq resultinp in
a 0.5 setback situation. On the east side the expansion encroaches 1.5 feet into the
required 10 foot setback. which results in an 8.5 foot setback
B. Site Coverape Variance
Under the CCII zone district, the maximum site coverage allowed on this lot is 14,231
square feet (70%). On March 25, 1991, setback and site coverage variances were
granted in conjunction with the major exterior alteration request related to the addition
of the Banner Sports commercial space. The approved addition resulted in a site
coverage allowance of 15,114 square feet (74%). Under the current redevelopment ~
proposal, the building's site coverage would be increased an additional 383 square feet
_ to 15,497 square feet (76%). Therefore, a site coveraqe variance is requested in order
to exceed the existinq site coveraQe on the lot bv 383 square feet

'The buifding setbacks on the north and west sides of the existing building will remain unchanged under this redevelopment proposal. The
existing 0.5' building setback is a result o( a setback variance granted in conjunction with the Banner Sport.s commercial space addition in 1991.
"The provision of 2.175 additional parking spaces is required as a resuh of ihe proposed addition. The applicant must pay into the Town's '
• Parking Fund per the Pay-In-Lieu Program. On July 19, 1994, the Vail Town Council raised the parking pay-in-lieu fee to $15,000.00 per space
(Ordinance No. 10, Series of 1994). However. Section 2 of the Ordinance states that the new fee shall only apply to development applications
submined for Design Review Board (DRB) and Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) review aher July 27, 1994. Since this
redevelopment application was submined pnor to that date, the pay-in-lieu tee is currently calculated at $8,594.40 per space. As currently
calculated, the parking requirement ot 2.175 spaces equates to a pay-in-lieu-fee of approximately $18:692.82. As provided for in Section 1 of
Ordinance No. 10, series o( 1994, this tee will be automatically increased annually by the percentage the consumer price index has increased
over each successive year.
"'Although the property cuRently has approximately 3.986 square feet oi hardscape, only 813 square feet or 20°/,, may be used for calculating
the minimum landscaped area requirement. The landscape requirement tor this project is explained in more detail in Section IV C of this memo
(Coinpliance with the Urban Design Considerations for Lionshead).

C. Compliance with the Urban Desiqn Guide Considerations for Lionshead and
Exterior Alteration Criteria
The following design considerations are critical elements of the Urban Design Guide
. Plan and provide the criteria to evaluate new proposals:
1. Height and Massing:
At one story, the height and massing of the proposed addition is. consistent with
the architectural guidelines for Lionshead. The addition is also good, in staff's
opinion, in that it helps to add visual interest on the first-floor and breaks up the
massing of the existing building.
, 2. Roofing: The Lionshead Design Considerations state that flat, shed, vaulted, or dome
~ roofs are acceptable for building expansions while discouraging gable roof
forms. A peaked roof is proposed over the entry to Pizza Bakery, Bart and
Yeti's and the FirstBank entryways. The style of these roofs is intended to
match the recent approval for Banner Sports which is located on the
southwestern side of the Lifthouse Lodge Building.
The Lionshead Design Considerations set forth metal as an acceptable roofing
material provided that it is ribbed or standing seam and a dark color. The
applicant wishes to have a metal roof on the FirstBank, Bart and Yeti's and
Pizza Bakery portions of the expansion, as well as the roof which wraps around.
the eastern side of the building. This roof will be a standing seamed metal roof
and will be a dark bronze color. The roof on the Montauk portion of the
expansion is proposed to remain cedar shakes. A copper gutter and flashing is
proposed to be added to Montauk's fascia in an attempt to architecturally tie
together the metal fascia of Banner Sports and Pizza Bakery, which are located
on either side of Montauk.
Staff believes that the roof on the proposed addition is generally consistent with
the architectural guidelines for Lionshead. However, staff would recommend
that the east side roof addition be extended all the way to the northern end of
the building, rather than terminating above the east side access door. Staff has
included this in the conditions of approval at the end of the memo.
3. Facades - WaIIs/Structures:
The materials proposed to be used in the remodel (wood, glass, stucco) are
encouraged in the Lionshead Design Considerations. The stucco texture and
color will match the stucco on the existing structure and the window and door
, trim color will match the color of the window trim on the Banner Sports portion
of the building. The applicant proposes to use peeled log pillars to delineate
the new commercial spaces. These pillars will be sealed with a clear water
seal and will not be stained to match the Banner Sports pillars. Log pillars will

directly above the business entry doors and are incorporated into the metal
fascia of the building. These signs will be indirectly illuminated from a source in
the soffit area above the signs. The proposed signs will have a common metal
frame, however, the applicant is proposing that each individual shop owner
would have no restrictions with regard to the materials, colors, letter style, etc.
proposed to go into each of these spaces, with the exception that plexiglass
signs not be allowed. The final "sign program" will be further reviewed by the
DR6.
7. fl,.anc9scape Elemen4s: .
Under this redevelopment proposal, the existing planter south of FirstBank will
be reduced in size by approximately 13 square feet. IVone of the existing trees
located within this planter will be removed. Additionally, the existing planter and
seating area on the eastern side of the building is proposed to be significantly
reconfigured as a result of the FirstBank commercial area expansion and the
application of the metal roof along the eastern side of the building. In addition
to the existing 3-inch and 3-1/2-inch caliper aspen trees which will remain in the
east side planter, twro 2-1 /2-inch caliper aspen trees are proposed to be
planted. One of the two benches adjacent to the planter is proposed to be
relocated as a result of the proposed planter expansion.
Subarea Concept # 17 of the Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan suggests
additional plantings in the area of this expansion in order to screen non-
commercial areas and make a visual landscape link between plazas. The
addition of plants and planting areas on the east side of the building would
carry out the intent of the Lionshead Design Guide Plan and help create a
sense of enclosure, create shade, and soften the starkness of the building and
adjacent plaza area. .
According to the Zoning Code, the definition of "landscaping" not only includes
planted areas and plant materials, but it also allows for up to 20% of a
landscaped area to be "hardscape". "Hardscape" would include walks, decks,
patios, terraces, water features and other similar features. Since the minimum
required amount of landscaping for the Lifthouse Lodge property is 4,066
square feet and up to 20% of that figure, or 813 square feet, may be
"hardscape", the remaining 3,253 square feet of required landscaping must be
in "softscape". As shown in the Zoning Analysis, this property is already .
nonconforming with regard to meeting the landscape requirement (and the
minimum percentage of "hardscape" and "softscape"). Although the proposed
commercial expansion will reduce the amount of "hardscape" landscaping on
the property by approximately 370 square feet, the amount of "softscape" is
being increased by 13 square feet. The addition of 93 square feet ofi
"sofYscape" will bring 4he properfy further into compliance dvith the
rninimurn requirement. The 370 square foot reduction in "hardscape" on the
property is not a zoning issue.since only 813 square feet of the "hardscape" on
the entire property may be credited toward meeting the minimum landscape
requirement.
7
The proposed addition would appear to have a positive impact on
surrounding properties and pedestrian areas while insuring that
maintenance and safety functions (i.e. fire access) can still occur.
. ii. Site Coveraqe Variance Reauest
As previously stated, Subarea Concept #18 of the Urban Design Guide
Plan specifically calls for a one-story commercial addition in the area
• where this addition is proposed. Staff believes the granting of the site
coverage variance will also have a positive impact on existing and
potential uses and structures in the vicinity. We also believe that the
Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan takes precedence over the Zoning
Code in guiding the staff's position with regard to the site coverage and
setback issues. The patio area in front of Montauk, Pizza Bakery, Bart
and Yeti's and FirstBank have previously been expanded, as suggested
in the Guide Plan. Staff does not believe that the loss of this patio area
(310 square feet) associated with this expansion is significant, and we
feel it is an acceptable trade-off for the benefits mentioned previously.
b. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibiliry and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to
attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
i. Setback and Site Coveraqe Variance Reauests
Staff believes that ihe Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan takes
precedence over the Zoning Code in guiding the staff's position on this
matter. The Guide Plan specifically calls for the addition and
landscaping improvements which is proposed under this application.
c. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
i. Setback and Site Coveraqe Variance ReQUests
The staff finds that the requested variances will have no negative effect
. on any of the above considerations. In fact, staff believes that the
proposed addition of landscaping will improve the Lions Pride Court
pedestrian/gathering experience, while not impeding snow removal or
safety access to the mall and surrounding buildings.
2. The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinps
before prantinq a variance:
a. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of sPecial
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
_ the same district.
9
5. There is a note on the applicant's plans that states that the "two surveys used
to create this drawing do not close". Additionally, the applicant's architect has mentioned that he has field measured the location of the planters in front, and
on the side, of FirstBank and has found discrepancies on the survey. In order
. to be assured of the actual location of the FirstBank expansion and.planter
. revisions, staff believes it is necessary that the applicant provide a new survey,
including a fully-dimensioned and stamped survey in the area south and east of
the FirstBank commercial space. This sunrey should be provided to staff for
review prior to scheduling this application for final Design Review Board review.
6. Staff recommends that this application not be scheduled for Fimal Design
Review Board review until the landscape plan has been approved by the Town
Landscape Architect and that one of the two benches on the east side of the
building be relocated to some other location in the Lionshead Mall in order to
allow for additional planting in this area.
7. Staff recommends that the metal roof along the eastern side of the building be
carried all the way to the north end of the building.
8. At the conceptual DRB review of this project on August 17, 1994, the DRB
requested that all the existing T-111 siding (which is not an approved material)
. be removed, and be replaced with a siding material which uvould be acceptable
. to the DRB and which meets the Town's Design Guidelines. The staff is
recommending that this be a condition of the PEC approval.

Bip Anderson stated that he was opposed to trash trucks using Bridge Street and that
Vash shouid be h2uled to the intersection for pick-up. He said that he 2greed with the
six conditions staff outlined in the staff inemo.
Kathy Langenwaiter stated she did not have problems with the'proposed construction
barriers. She suggested getting school children involved with painting the fence for .
something fun and creative. She stated that trash trucks on Bridge Street should not
be allowed and that the applicants should submit an acceptable solution to this issue at the time of building perinit. She stated that the PEC was not opposed to a ' restaurant in this location, but that at present, the trash situation did not seem to lend . itself to restaurant use. KristGn Pritz stated that it was not the deliveries that were a concern but that removal • .
of trash was an issue. The 2pplicant would need to utilize the Town of Vail loading
areas. She staied that a'trash removal plan ior a future restaurant, could be brought
before the PEC.
Bill Anderson made a molion to 2pprove the request for a major CCI exterior alteration
to allow for the redevelopment of the Covered Bridge Building per the staff inemo and
including the six conditions contained in the staff memo, wiih the-addition of condition
7 that: "No motorized vehicle be allowed to use Bridge Street for trash removal. He
added Condition S that: "The PEC would need to review the addition of a resi2urant as
tenant space 2nd iis proposed trash removal plan." Greg Amsden seconded this
motion and a 4-1 vote approved this request with Jeff Bowen opposing bec2use he did
not feel the proposed construciion siaging plan was appropriate for 8ridge Sireet and
that a coordinated development pl2n nzeded to be done ior the Gramshammer and
Covered Bridge Buildings.

parking, the applicants could relocate accommodation units on the site. He stated that
the density variance was not as hard to properly justify as the height variance. He felt
that a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the property would be a worthwhile
exercise to go through.
Bob Armour stated that adding mass to the existing nonconforming structure would be
a grant of special privilege.
Greg Amsden stated that height variances are seldom granted in the Town of Vail and
suggested that the applicant consider the SDD process. He suggested that the .
applicant consider shorter individual deck configurations. He said that the dormers
themselves were quite massive and should be reduced in order to eliminate a"top
heavy" appearance.
Gary Bradley asked whether they should go ahead with the swimming pool renovation
or should they hold oif.
Greg Amsden suggested that the applicants hold off until they had developed a
comprehensive master plan for the L'Ostello property. Bill Anderson stated that he disagreed with Greg's position and that it wras his opinion
that the neighbors of the L'Ostello Building would like to see the swimming pool
renovation compfeted as soon as possible. He encouraged the applicant to complete
the plaza renovation and landscaping plan for the property.
3. A request for a dvorksession to review a CCII major exterior alteration and site
coverage and setback variances to allow for a commercial expansion to the Lifthouse
Lodge located at 549 West Lionshead Circle/Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 1st Filing.
Applicant: 8ob Lazier
Planner: Jim Curnutte
Jim Curnutte made a presentation per the staff inemo. He stated that 387 square feet
of site coverage was proposed to be added with this request. He directed the PEC's
attention to Page 5, Section IV, Discussion Issues of the staff memo.
Galen Aasland, the architect for this project, stated that they have attempted to
address the issues raised concerning this project from the previous worksession. With
regard to the sign program, he stated that they were still not interested in changing the
IVlontauk restaurant space. With regard to the sign program, he stated that the three
proposed signs would all have a consistent frame and lighting and but that they wauld
like the script and letter material to remain unrestricted.
Gary Borsh, the manager of the Montauk, stated that he did not feel that a copper roof
across the Montauk would be appropriate. He stated that the Montauk was a seafood,
chain restaurant from the East Coast.and that they generally utilized a shake shingle
roof.

Allison, Jeff, Bill, Bob and Greg all felt that the east side roof extension was okay the.
way that was currently proposed and that it did not have to go all the way to the end of
the building.
Daiton Williams felt that the roof extension should be redesigned to go all the way to
the corner of the building. Dalton also stated that he did not have a problem sho,uld
the applicant wish to go forward with the loading variance, should one be required as a
result of the addition.
Jim Curnutte stated that the PEC still needed to discuss the pedestrian easement.
Mike Mollica asked the applicant whether they would be opposed to a pedestrian
easement through the Lifthouse site.
Bob Lazier felt that the pedestrian easement would not change the existing situation,
so he did not have a problem with it.
• Jim Curnutte stated that staff wanted to insure pedestrian access across the site.
Mike Mollica stated that it was important for the Fire Department review this proposal
prior to a final hearing before the PEC.
Jeff Bowen suggested that a comprehensive sign program be implemented for the
building and.that new tenants be made aware of the program.

4237 Co4umbine Drive/Lot 22, Bighorn Terrace.
Applicant: Joyce Waters
Pianner: Andy Knudtsen Andy Knudtsen made a presentation per the staff inemo. He stated that staff was
recommending approval of the requested setback variances with the five conditions
outlined on Pages 4 and 5 of the staff memo:
1. The variance approvat shall be contingent upon the DRB approving the
"250' request.

FROM: Pamela A. Brandmey , Assistant Town Manager
DATE: August 30, 1994
RE: VVTCB/Lease/Utilities/Condominium Dues
I have been researchi.ng the payment arrangement with the WTCB in regard to lease/
utilities/condominium dues. 1VIy research has taken me back to the early 90's at which time
there was considerable discussion regarding use of the old post office space, the WI space,
and the possible move of the Colorado Sld Museum into the VTRC. I have also checked with
Will 1Vliller and Rob Ievine in regard to their recollection of the final understanding for
payment of these fees and my findings are as follows. At the November 20, 1990, Town Council evening meeting, a motion was made to allow the
VRA to stay in the post office space until May 1, 1991, and included Town of Vail
guaranteeing an appropriate space at a cost the VR,A was paying currently or less, that
amount being $18,000 per year.
At the Tuesday, April 23, 1991, work session, following lengthy discussion, a motion was
made by Tom Steinberg and seconded by Lynn Fritzlen, to approve a lease in the VVI space
for the VRA at rate of $20,000 per year. Additionally, utilities were to have been paid from
1VIay 1, 1991, through August, 1992, by the Town of Vail at which time the VRA would take
over payment of those utilities. This would allow the VR.A an average reading of what those
utilities would be over a year's period of time so appropriate budgeting could take place. This
motion passed unanimously.
Although there was some peripheral discussion of responsibility for payment of the
condominium dues ($7,100/yr.), I can find no specific language in any of the documents or at
any of the work sessions stating whose responsibility this actually became. The Town has
paid condominium dues since we became owners of that space (1989).
A copy of this memo has been faxed to Frank Johnson. It would be my intention to provide
language in the current lease that reflects the understanding of both parties in regard to
these payments. Hopefully a resolution of these items can be reached prior to the WTCB
presentation regarding information booths/special events funding at the evexung meeting on
September 6, 1994.

The Tourism &c Convention Bureau will present to the Town Council on September 6, 1994 a
' proposal to begin addressing Vail's unique marketing challenges through a well organized,
focused high quality approach to the development of Special Marketing Events and the increased
coordination of existing activities and events for maximum impact.
' rn
l addition to this effort, the TCB will outline a professional, proactive nconciergen type
approach to servicing our guests and potential guests need for easy to use, complete information
1 on Vail and the wealth of attractions, events, and activities available in the surrounding areas.
1 Our approach incorporates the best aspects of a public entity (Vail Town Government) in
partnership with the Vail business community (through its "marketing department", the Tourism
& Convention Bureau) and Vail Associates bringing coordination and focus to solving the basic
1 questions surrounding our continued economic vitality and growth.
Because many of the approaches suggested here are brand new and do not relate to existing
' efforts to fulfill these functions, the standard applications for Town of Vail funding are not
applicable. Budgets, duties, etc. are outlined and will be discussed thoroughiy. Additional
documentation based on Town Council requests or suggestions will be provided as discussion
~ moves forward.
This proposal represents a starting point from which we hope issues can be further defined and
~ clarifed, leading to an affordable, effective team approach to addressing Vail's future marketing
needs.

1. Vail Village and Lionshead are in general faced with the problems of an aging bed base,
' the diminishing of available rental condominuims, and due to the lack of focus and
reinforcement for a number of years, the "fading" of its image as an alpine/international
resort community.
1 II. Vdi h h" " VRA in 1987,
t t e d' ~smantling of the there has been a general lack of focus
1 relating to imaging, marketing planning, and coordination resulting in a multitude of "bits
and pieces" undertaken by numerous businesses and organizations without the synergy
to create maximum impact.
' III. The creation of the "Vail Valley" marketing funding and programs has assisted in the
growth of the region, but due to the changing dynamics of the relationships between the
' resorts and towns involved and the natural evolution of each individual area into a
definable differentiated resort "product", the balance of participation is being
reexamined.
' IV. The TCB has evolved from a lodging community specia( interest group focused on the
management of a Central Reservations system into a highly effective marketing
' organization acting on behalf of a broad based business membership.... a vehicle to help
accomplish the goals of the Vail Town Council.

Based on the analysis of the Town of Vails' marketing dilemma as we see it and the direction
~ already undertaken by the TCB, the following are the joint goals we propose throug}i our
marketing partnership:
~ l. Begin to create a high quality image of Vail as a premier year round resort
through all of our marketing programs.
~ 2. Develop a series of new "product offerings" through events and activities creating
reasons for more destination guests to visit Vail more frequently.
, 3. Develop an information fulfillment process and products, both internal and
external, that will give guests and potential guests an organized sense of the vital
' dynamic resort experience Vail offers.
4. Create new promotional and marketing opportunities, including the development
' of sponsor relationships with targeted high quaiity partners, through #2 & 3
above.
~ 5. Create stronger marketing partnerships for the town of Vail and its business
community with Vail Associates, the Vail Valley Foundation, and other key
entities resulting in a more efficient focused approach to attracting potentia!
~ customers and meeting their vacation expectations.
' OBJ-ECTIVES
, The objectives that relate to the five goals outlined above can be broadly classified into four
major areas:
' 1. Information
2. Events & Activities
3. Infrastructure development geared toward tourism &"imaging".
~ 4. Promotions & Marketing
, Though our proposal addresses the first two areas, longer range planning will involve placing
the information and events directions within a larger framework involving the other two areas.

Vail, CO 81657 ` ' Dear Pain: • Attached is a proposal for the management of the Town of Vail visitor information centers. . Our
proposal represents a tangible approach to some.of our mutual concerns involving '
O providing superior guest service, O streamlining duplicated services, and •
0 working toward unification in the community. Clearly, many of the other town staff and the council share that philosophy as. it relates to making
the most of our resources while providing the highest quality visitor experience.
The Avon-Beaver Creek Resort Association's goals include providing new and existing
information staff with enhanced, trainirig and motivational incentives. With the addition of
commission-generatecl revenue, we believe we' 11 have the ability to offer attractive wages to
retain qualified, knowledgable, enthusiastic people. We aspire to be responsive to demand, so
that when visitor numbers increase and fluctuate, we'll increase staff accordingly. Personnel will
work in both the Avon and Vail information centers, which will, enable them to take a"bigger
picture" approach when representing.the tourist product.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to meeting with you and the council
on September 6th. Sincerely,
ate ` ollin .

IViEMORAiVDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FRONi: Robert W. McLaurin
Town Manager
DATE: September 2, 1994
SUBJECT: Town Manager's Report
Police Addition
As you are aware, the new police addition is complete. For the past few weeks (as you have
heard during the Council meetings) the contractor has been remodeling the existing police
department space. The remodel should be substantiafly complete about mid September.
The project continues to be uvithin the budget approved by the Council last year. The project
budget is attached for your information and review. As indicated on the budget, the total budget
approved by the Council was $3,701,986. Of this amount $30,000 was allocated for modifications
to the west entry and $10,000 for a walkway along the south side of the Frontage Road.
Because the roundabout project will involve a minor relocation of the Frontage Road, we have
deleted the sidewalk from this project. This sidewalk will be incorporated into the roundabout
project.
We are continuing to vuork to develop a design for the west entry. I am currently working with
Pam Hopkins to develop another conceptual design for your review. At this point these
improvements vvill be constructed next Spring. You should also be aware that it is unlikely the
$30,000 will be enough to fund the improvement to the west entry envisions by the PEC and the
DRB.
Because these items have been deleted from the contract, the total budget for this project is
$3,661,986.
Staff Retreat
I have scheduled a staff retreat on October 15, 1994. The purpose of this retreat is to enhance
the sense of teamwork of the senior staff, develop the staff's understanding of the use of self
directed work teams, and to begin to develop a set of organizational value for the TOV
organization. Dick Bowers who is the City Manager for Scottsdale, AZ will facilitate this retreat.
Fire Station Studv Update
In 1990 the Touvn commissioned a study to assess response times and to determine if an addition
fire station was needed in VNest Vail. This was conducted by Bill Gay of UVashington, D.C.
Response times collected in the study indicated that an additional station was warranted.
As you are aware, a major issue of the Vail Commons plan is whether to allocate a portion of the
site for a fire station. In order to accurately determine the need for this station, I have asked Bill
Gay to update the 1990 study. This study will involve constructing a simulation model to
determine the demand for this station. The study will estimate the cost of constructing and
staffing a new station. The original study did not analyze the impact of an underpass on
response times. It is my feeling (and hope) that an underpass will reduce response times to a
point where a new station is not warranted. It is also my feeling the long term cost of an
underpass vuill be significantly less than the cost of constructing, maintaining and staffing a new
station.
This study will begin in late September and will cost approximately $9,000. It will be funded from
the money allocated for Vail Commons.
Meetinq with Eaqle Countv Commissioners
As you are aware I have been meeting with Jack Lewis to improve our working relationship with
Eagle County. V1le have tentatively scheduled a meeting with the Commissioners and the Council
for Tuesday, iVovember 1 st. The time and location for this meeting has not yet been determined.
fVeither has the specific agenda.

UM
'II'O: VIP Steering Team "
]FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
RE: Vail Improvement Process
DT: May 22, 1994
With the conclusion of the Training Phase of the Vail Improvement Process, I wanted to outline
my throughs for the next phase of VIP. As we have discussed, continuous quality improvement
is not a program, or a project. Rather it is a commitment on conrinuous improvement and as
such, must become part of our daily routines and activities. I believe that continuous quality
improvement is as much as state of mind or attitude as a specific program.
As we proceed in this continuous quality journey, it is important that we remember that quality is
a journey and not a destination. We also need to rernember the Quality Matrix and to understand
where the TOV is on the grid. This is will help us keep this work in perspective, and will
. hopefully avoid frustrations and keep us moving forward.
Since the VIP training phase begin last December, approximately 205 town employees have
received eight hours of training in the "Fundamentals of Quality Improvement" and sixteen hours
of "Departmental Improvement Training" (DIP). As part of the DIP training, approximately
seventy-five Departmental Action Plans were prepared and are in varying stages of
implementation.
During this training phase, five Town of Vail employees were trained facilitators. These
employees learned the techniques and skills necessary to (help) make the TOV self sufficient with
TQN[ training.
N1ost of the work during the coming weeks involve implementing the actions plans developed
during the DIP workshops. I intend to have a monthly update of Acrion Plan at the Director's
Staff meetings. This will provide a formal, regular opporlunity for each Department Head to
update his/her colleges about Action Plan implementation progress. The VIP Steering Committee
will be expected to attend these briefings in order to stay informed about our progress. I will also
be working with the departments to make sure that those involved in the VIP process (such as
yourselves) have time to work on VIP.
The VIP facilitators will be expected to training new hires and seasonal employees in the
fundamentals of quality improvement.
Implementation of the Action Plans should take the remainder of this year. Beginning next
December, the VIP facilitators will receive training in "Process Ivianagement." As you are aware,
Process 1Vlanagement involves identificarion of the key processes for the various municipal
functions and skills to improve these processes. When the TQ1VI facilitators have been trained,
they will hold a series of Deparnnental Process Management training sessions. \Nhen these
Process Management training sessions are complete, each degartment will develop a series of
Action Plans that relate to key processes and address intra and interdepartmental process issues.
One of the principal differences between the DIP Phase aad Process RRanagement Phase is the departmental orientation. While both are designed to produce betters, higher quality service for
our customers, the two have a different (but related) orientation. T'he DIP phase focused
primarily in internal department matters. The Process Management phase will involved issues and
processes that cross deparnnental boundaries. Ex:iibit A shows how the focus of each activity is
different.
The third phase of VIP involves a town wide Baldridge type assessment.
Exhibit B, which is attached to this memorandum is a graphical representarion of the VIP work
program. I understand that is not as complete as it could be. However is does provide some
frame of reference for the conrinuation of this process.

. Dear Mr. Dunning:
I have been asked to respond to your letter to Mayor Peggy Osterfoss and Town Council dated August
8, 1994. Your understanding is correct that we are presently in the process of negotiating a license
renewal with TCI Cablevision of the Rockies. Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act there are certain
provisions that the Town of Vail has the opportunity to require in a cable franchise agreement. The
1992 Cable Act also gives the grantor of a franchise certain regulatory powers over the grantee of a
cable franchise agreement.
However, just as the Town of Vail cannot regulate the discontinuation of service by Holy Cross
Electric, Public Service of Colorado or U.S. VVest, we do not control or regulate the discontinuation of
service for failure to make timely payments for cable service.
It has been my experience that TCI Cablevision of the Rockies does desire to provide courteous and
effective service to its subscribers. By copy of this letter I am advising TCI of your concerns. Thank
you for having brought this issue to the Town of Vail's attention.
Very truly urs, ~

Auqust 8, 1994 Mayor Peggy Osterfoss & Town Council
Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Mayor & Council Members,
I understand that you are in the process of negotiating a license
renewal with TCI Cablevision of the Rockies.
I wish to question whether a momopoly under public license has the
right to simply discontinue service without notice to the subscriber.
Like most of your property owners I do not live in Vail, but come as
often as I can.
On July 19th TCI put a notice on my door at 1461 Greenhill Court
asking me to call regarding my account. At the same time they
discontinued service. They sent a bill on July 31st to St. Paul
closing the account. On July 27th I arrived at Vail only to discover
that the service was disconnected. I immediately called and was told
that I had not paid June and July's bill. I checked my checkbook and
agreed. I also insisted that I had not received a bill and that I
had never been late for a payment before. I was told rudely that
they do not ever make mistakes; I should consult the Post Office
about any failures to receive their bill; and that it was my
obligation to notice that their bill had not arrived and to bring
the matter to their attention and to remit the proper amount.
When I asked about their attempts to notify me verbally of any
problem, I was told that they tried my Vail telephone number but that
I did not answer. Furthermore it was not their policy to ever make a
long distance call.
They did not call my Vail telephone number unless they decided
not to leave a message on the telephone answering machine that was
working. And I do not have the time to check up on whether they send
a bill or not - I simply pay them when they arrive.
of course they denied my request to immediately rehook up my
service, but did see fit to assess me $23.23 as a reconnection fee.
I think Vail is entitled to better, more polite, and more reasonable
service from any providor empowered with a monopoly by this Council.
If not I suggest that you find a competitor to TCI and award the
license to them.

Dear lyir. Johnson:
I have been asked to respond to your correspondence of August 25, 1994.
The Town of Vail has emergency procedures in effect to warn the general public of emergency
circumstances that could occur. The procedure and plans take into considerataon the geographical
irregularity of the Vail Valley and the number of visitors who might be present in the Town of Vail
at any particular time.
It has been considered and determined that a warning horn would not effectively advise the general
public within the valley and that its effect could produce results that would exacerbate the problem
encountered in any particular emergency circumstance.
If you are interested in the particular responses that are planned to be made depending upon the
nature of the emergency encountered, I invite you to contact our Fire Chief, Dick Duran. He would
be more than happy to share with your our emergency procedures. Thank you for your concern.

Lack of proper warning to the general public in an emergency situation could produce
serious legal problems for Vail.
I hope that you will consider a warning device(s), preferably a warning horn(s) to warn
the general public of any emergency other than the normal fire and police emergencies.
Enclosed please find an explanatory letter and a project application if you wish to share

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
Town Manager
Department Heads FROM: Steve Thompson
DATE: August 30, 1994
RE: Second Quarter Financial Report
Enclosed is the Second Quarter Financial Report with estimates of revenues and expenditures as
compared to budget.
REVEIVlIE
We have projected sales tax revenues to exceed 1993 collections by approximately 2.85%, which
is an additional $129,000 over budget. This estimate can be achieved if we collect what is
budgeted for the balance of the year. However, if we continue our current trend of exceeding
1993 collections by 3.5%, we could generate an additional $86,000 in sales tax revenue, overall
exceeding budget by $215,000. This second assumption is not included in the second quarter
report. As you can see from the sales tax estimates work sheet on page 11, the Town's sales tax
collections this summer have been very good. The other revenue estimates remain in line with
the First Quarter report.
EXPE1VDITZIRE.S
At this point, no departments expect to exceed or have substantial budget savings in 1994.
Please see pages 8-9 for a list of additional supplemental appropriations. The majority of the
required supplemental appropriations have been discussed with the Town Council, including the
property and liability insurance increase, the range compression adjustments, new position -
Planner I. The items with an asterisk next to them are expenditures that will relieve departments
respective savings accounts. Items that have revenue next to them represent expenditures that
have been funded by additional sources of revenue. I have also included a schedule of
department savings showing the amount that each department has left in savings and has used in
savings in 1994. Several of the Capital Projects will not be completed in 1994 and have been
noted with an asterisk. However, we have left the estimate to complete the same as budget since
the effect on fund balance is the same as recognizing a roll forward at this point.
i
FUND BALANCES
The numbers in this report include the purchase of Trapper's Run. The General Fund balance is

VAO~ ~OWN COUNCIL HIGHL6GHTS FOR flAAY 3

--Noise in the !lillage Core -
After hearing firom Town Attorney Tom iVioorhead and lisfiening 4o public comment from
eight ci4izens (mostly restauran4 and bar owmers), members of the Towm Council
expressed general satisfac4ion with the curren4 ordinance regulating noise in the village
core. The existing permi4 application establishes a maximum noise level of 65 decibels
from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., wi4h a reduction 40 60 decibels firom 10 p.m, to 8 a.m. The
Council had considered streng4hening the ordinance following a formal complain4 by
Sheika Gramshammer of Gastofi Gramshammer. Many who spoke af the meeting said
the ordinance, if stric4ly enforced, would create a"ghos4 4own" atmosphere within the
village core. However, Dan Telleen of Karats jewetry, encouraged police to followr up
on all complain4s, even if they are anonymous. Telleen said amplified sound from other
businesses makes it difficult #or him to talk wiith his cus4omers if he leaves his shop
door open. Of the o4her ordinances reviewed firom municipalities across the state,
Town A4torney fliloorhead indicafed the Town of llail ordinance is the mos4
comprehensive. In the end, the Counci.l urged businesses to work wi4h one ano4her fo
make the ou4come positive for everyone. For more information, contact Tom Moorhead
at 479-2107, or Police Chiefi Ken Hughey a4 479-2210.
--AI VValker Seminar .
The Council vofed 6-0 (Peggy Osterfioss was out of the room) 4o deny a reques4 from
the Vail Recreation Dis4rict to help share the cost of a fiacilitator for aMay 26
presenta4ion. AI V1/al6cer's seminar fee is $5,000 for a full day seminar on board/sfiaff
relations. The Rec District had asked for a $1,000 con4ribution.
--!lail Ceme4ery Funding
The Council agreed 4o fiake the !/ail ceme4ery issue back 40 the voters in November.
, This time, the quesfion will be asked of !lail voters only. Lasfi November, voters in the
Eagle Gore Ceme4ery Distric4 rejected a mill levy issue to fund construc4ion of a
_ cemetery in Vail. The levy also would have expanded the Riverview Cemetery in
Niin4urn. Councilmembers yesterday considered funding the $660,000 construction
cost of the !lail project writh capital improvements funds, but decided it would make
more sense to ask voters if 4hey support the cemetery. If approved, the town may enter
info a contract with the Eagle Gore Ceme4ery Distric4 for maintenance and operations.

A master plan for the cemetery, proposed for the upper bench of Donovan Park, was
approved by the Council last December. The cemetery would provide up to 980
memorial spaces to be used over the next 100 years. For more information, contact
Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138, or Finance
Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116. Also, for a copy of results from the November
election, contact Suzanne Silverthorn at 479-2115.
--Cornice Building Housing
The Council denied a request from developers of the Cornice Building to add an
employee housing unit to the site, noting the potential for additional parking and access
problems. The Special Development District project requires three permanently
restricted employee housing units to be located off-site, however. In proposing
locations for the three off-site units, the developers were told that two of the proposed
units were acceptable and that the third unit would be reviewed by Council after
receiving variances from the Planning & Environmental Commission. For more
information, contact Jim Curnutte in the Community Development Department at 479-
2138.
-ABC School
After hearing background on a 1992 decision by the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) requiring operators of the ABC School #o pave the school's parking
lot by September 1995, the Council agreed to allow the school to return to the PEC to
request a new variance. A variance had been granted previously due to the possibility
of construction of a housing project on the nearby Mountain Bell site. That project has
since been eliminated. The school has indicated the $12,000 cost of the paving would
be a hardship. The ABC School and the adjacent Learning Tree school each lease
their facilities from the Town of Vail. For more information, contact Kristan Pritz in the
Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Federal Assistance for New Buses
Mayor Peggy Osterfoss gave an update on the towrn's efforts to obtain federal
funding for 10 new buses to improve the Vail transit system. Osterfoss and Public
Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel went to Washington, D.C., last week to
meet with members of the Colorado congressional delegation for assistance. The town
is requesting a$2 million federal appropriation to be matched locally by 20 percent, or
$500, 000.

Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear 1VIs. Osterfoss:
This is my third attempt to get Vail to install an external Warning System to warn the
general public in emergencies.
Lack of proper warning to the general public in an emergency situation could produce
serious legal problems for Vail.
I hope that you will consider a warning device(s), preferably a warning hom(s) to wam
the general public of any emergency other than the normal fire and police emergencies.
Enclosed please find an explanatory letter and a project application if you wish to share
50150 with the Federal Govemment (FEIVIA) in this project. Keep in mind that your
application must be sent to the person and address, as stated in the letter, not later than
September 14, 1994. ,
Respectfully Submitted,

All Jurisdictional Emerqeacy Manaqers - State of Colorado
Annually the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
~ solicits local and state government project applications
fcr the Facilities and Equipment (F&E) program. The F&E
gront program comprises what was formeriy 3cnown as the
Waraing and Communications Systems (W&CS) and the
Ma::.ntenance and Services (M&S) grants. If approved, FEMA .
provides fifty per cent (50%) of the funds required for
these projects with the remaining balance being the
responsibility of the applicant: For example, if you have
an approved $10,000 pro3ect, FEMA will supply $5,000 and
the applying jurisdiction will supply the $5,000 balance.
FEMA Region VIII has requested that all state and local
government project applications be forwarded to them not
later than 23 September 1994. In order to meet their
deadline, please forward any completed project application -
for the F&E program funding which includes M&S or W&CS
grants to the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), 15075
Old Golden Road, Golden, CO 80401, ATTN: Richard

A completed project application includes a cover letter
that describes the project in detail, the availability of
jurisdiction funds if project is approved, a statement
that details how this project supports the local
jurisdiction Survivable Crisis Management (SCM) plan and a
completed SF 424 project application (See attached).
To assist you in the application process, please keep.in
mind thEt the quality of your application directly affects
FEMA Headquarter's ability to approve it. The more
in-depth the information provided concerning the project

projects that meet national priorities and to recommend
approval of those projects for funding. The better FEMA

will have for funding.
County Emergency Managers are requested to solicit project
applications from their subordinate jurisdictions also..

Re: Parking Citation Number 07507244
Dear Mr. Lapin:
I would like to make a formal complaint regarding the above-mentioned citation.
I own property in Vail and I am up there every weekend.
I think it is a shame that the Town of Vail would ticket someone who is attending an
event when there were numerous other events going on at the same time. In other words,
there were three to four other events happening in Vail on Aujust 6, 1994, which led to
insufficient parking. I guess my question is, why would the Town of Vail plan for so
many events a91 on the same night with so little parl:ing?
The people in my party were physically unable to walk very far and then too find a citation
on my windshield was most annoying.
There were probably 30-40 cars which had been ticketed in this lot. It made for a most
unenjoyable ending to an otherwise fairly nice evening.
Very truly yours, .

Dear Robert,
I have thought of you often, in fact, each day that I drive past the covered bus stop
structure now in place at the 180 exit. I am delighted with the result for many obvious
reasons, and Marillyn and I did want to express our feelings of gratitude to you and the
town council for having seen to it that the project was undertaken and completed.
I wish you could just be around that location to hear the people who for one
reason or another find themselves needing that telephone And when the snow flies, there
will be many more who live nearby that will enjoy and use this improvement even more.
We would appreciate it if you could convey our feelings to the members of the
council and the public works department. I like what has happened. Thanks.
_ ~Sinc erely,
.
Robert E. Baker
PS,. By the way, as I read the paper, it surely seems that you have many other things to be
taking care of. I believe that Vail is lucky to have found you, and we hope that all goes
well in cleaning up the messes that you inherited.

W0TH ROlJNDABOIDT PROJECT
(Vail)--The Vail Town Council has appointed a seven-member steering committee
to assist Town Staff and Council with the roundabout project at the Main Vail
interchange. Mayor Peggy Osterfoss said the community-based group will meet
regularly to review various design concepts and make recommendations to the
Town Council.
Installation of two modern roundabouts at the Main Vail interchange will
eliminate traffic delays and create an opportunity to improve Vail's main entry,
Osterfoss said. "The roadwork configurations are essentially designed," she said.
"We've asked the committee to help us determine what the end project should look
like from a landscape design and cost perspective."
Up to $1.5 million has been budgeted for the project, although Osterfoss said
she hopes the end result will cost less. "Because of additional taxpayer priorities,
we need to be as cost-effective as we can on this project without compromising
safety, appearance or the functional purpose of the roundabouts," she said.
(more)
Roundabout Steering Team/Add 1
Members of the Steering Committee are: Diana Donovan, citizen at-large; Dave
Gorsuch, Vail Village business owner; Joe Macy, Vail Associates; Rich Perske,
Colorado Department of Transportation; Jan Strauch, Vail Town Council; Dalton
Williams, Planning & Environmental Commission; and Hans Woldrich, Design
Review Board. ,
The committee will begin by reviewing cominents from several focus groups
which were held earlier this month to gauge public opinion on the landscape design
and image issues regarding the roundabout. Winston Associates, landscape
architects from Boulder, and the town's urban design consultant facilitated the
focus groups and will work with the committee in presenting several design options
to the Town Council.
Preliminary design options will be presented for public comment at 7:00 p.m. on
Sept. 13. Also on hand will be Leif Ourston of Santa Barbara, Calif., who designed
the roadwork configuration. Ourston is a leading authority on modern roundabout
design in the U.S.
Ground is expected to be broken as early as April 1, 1995, on the Vail's project,
with completion of the roadwork occurring in July.
In addition to landscaping issues, Osterfoss said the steering committee would
address various signage and construction schedule requirements throughout the
project.

Re: Dowd Junction Bike Path
Dear Jack:
Pursuant to our discussion regarding the Dowd Junction Bike Path I am providing the following
information regarding the cost of this project. For your information I have enclosed a map showing
the project location. The project consists of planning, design and construction of a bike path from the
present terminus in Vail to Highway 6.
The project is being constructed in two phases. Phase I which is currently under construction included
project design, right of way acquisition and the construction of the two bridges across Gore Creek and
one across the Eagle River. The total cost for this project is approximately $1,125,000. The Town of
Vail has spent approximately $250,000 for this phase. Additionally, the Town of Vail has contributed
significant staff resources towards this project. The Town staff has overseen the project design and
worked with CDOT to secure State funding. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has
committed $875,040 for Phase I.
Phase II involves the construction of the path itself. The estimated cost for this phase is $700,000.
We expect that the Town of Vail will contribute approximately (through various grants) $70,000 of this cost. CDOT is expected to contribute $430,000 towards this phase of the project, leaving a net
shortfall of approximately $200,000. Please note that this is based on the assumption that the project
cost will be $700,000. If the construction bids come in higher, the State of Colorado will not fund the
additional overrun, therefore the $200,000 shortfall may increase, and will have to be made up from
other sources.
As we discussed, this is the critical link in the entire Eagle County bicycle path. We look forward to
working with you to complete this important project. We are specifically requesting $200,000 in
assistance from Eagle County to help fund the second phase of this project. The funds would be
expended in calendar year 1996.
Jack, thanks for your assistance with this matter. Please feel free to call me at 479-2105 to discuss
it in more detail. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Peggy Osterfoss
Mayor - Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road West
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Mayor Osterfoss:
As you are probably aware, the Department of Social Services (DSS) and
Department of Institutions (DOI) are undergoing significant changes. The
State Legislature passed a law this year requiring counties to assess and plan
for delivery of human services. The State Department of Human Services
merging these two departments was officially created in July of this year.
In August of this year, the counties of Lake, Eagle, Summit, Pitkin and
Garfield designated their area (the Rural Resort Region) to be the local
planning area.
According to H.B. 1005, certain stakeholders were identified to serve as
members of the planning area committee. Your agency has been identified as a
stakeholder. To have a workable committee, every agency may not be able to
have a representative. For example, there are eight school districts in our
planning area, but there can only be one school district or Mountain Board of
Cooperative Services (BOCES) representative appointed to represent that
discipline's interest. Public input will be encouraged and most likely
additional opportunities for participation will be presented through sub-
committees.
If you know someone who is interested in serving on this planning area
committee, please submit your application to Commissioner Marsha W. Osborn,
acting Rural Resort Region Planning Chairperson by September 14, 1994. Please
send the application to P.O. Box 68, Breckenridge, Colorado 80424.
Appointments will be made by the County Commissioners of Eagle, Pitkin,
Summit, Garfield, and Lake Counties and announced in early October. Attached
you will find an overview of H.B. 1005, an application, and a preliminary
outline of responsibilities. The plan is due to be completed by February,
1996.
If you need additional information or have questions, please contact your
county's Social services Director (list attached).
Thank you for your interest, and we loo orward to your participation.
Sincerely, " , ' `

MC~AURON 9S5UES 5TATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR CHIEF 9il1CHEY
(Vail)--Town Manager Bob McLaurin today issued a statement in support of Police
Chief Ken Hughey follovuing McLaurin's review of the auditor's report surrounding the
sale of guns to fiwo town employees in 1991.
The statemen4 is as follows: "I believe Chief Hughey is an excellent chief of police
and manages an outstanding department. During his tenure as chief, he has increased
the professionalism of the department. While the events that occurred in 1991
represent a lack of judgement, I am focused on the present. Ken is continuing to work
to improve the internal communication and enhance teamwork within the department
through the Town of Vail continuous improvement process."
A report by the town's auditor has indicated the sale of firearms by the Police
Department to TOV employees was not a violation of firearms laws. However, the
actions showed "poor judgement" on the part of those involved, according to the report.
iVlcLaurin said his statement was intended to end speculation about Hughey's
employment status.

(Vail)--Town Manager Bob fVlcLaurin announced today he'll appoint an action team to
develop recommendations on purchasing policies and equipment usage for the town.
NicLaurin said the task force vvill address recommendations contained in a report on
the town's purchasing practices released earlier this month by the town's auditor,
fVlcfViahan & Associates. The internal investigation was ordered by McLaurin after
learning the Police Department sold guns to tvvo town employees in 1991.
"The report places no blame on any individual or employee with regard to these
events," McLaurin said. "Regardless, it is important that vve have a clearly understood
policy for these matters in the future." ,
In addition to the gun sales, fhe report indicated occasional after hours use of tovun
equipment by TOV staff for such things as vehicle maintenance and carpentry work;
piggybacked orders for landscaping, auto parts, etc.; and a lack of sales tax collections
for employees who reimburse the town for personal phone calls made on the town
phone system.
(more)
Action Team/Add 1
McLaurin said the action team will be established the first week in September and will
be given three weeks to review the report and prepare recommendations. "I'll be asking
the group to conduct a survey of other local, state and federal agencies to understand
what practices occur in these places," McLaurin said. "They also will be asked to
survey private sector employees to ascertain purchasing use practices in the private
sector." A third component of the review, McLaurin said, will involve reaction from the
community. "It's important to know what our taxpayers think about these actions," he
said, "including what's appropriate and what is not."
The task force will be comprised of six to eight employees, plus a representative from
the community. fVlcLaurin said his goal is to have a set of policies in place by the end of
September.
For more information, contact McLaurin at 479-2115.

Mr. 1VTichael H. VEleisser
1156 Village Road, Apt. B403
Avon, CO 81620 Dear 1VIr. VEleisser:
I am in receipt of your .4ugust lO letter expressing your concern at receiving a parking ticket during
a recent BRAVO concert at the Ford Amphitheater. I am sorry you received the ticket, but I do
appreciate your expression of concern and will do my best to address that concern.
Parking at Ford Park has been a topic of much discussion over the last number of years, but has been
of major concern this summer. The Town of Vail has been working with the Ford Park user groups,
including BRAVO, all summer in an attempt to ease the situation. We have also done our best to
inform people where they may and may not park, through the use of signs and traffic control personnel
- but your experience indicates we may still have some gaps to fill. Issuing parking tickets is the last
resort used by the Police Department to gain and reinforce compliance with existing parking laws -
an unpleasant yet necessary task.
In order to help you understand the "big picture" surrounding this issue, you should be aware the
Frontage Road in this area is owned and maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT). CDOT is, therefore, the agency which establishes such regulations as speed limits and no
parking areas - NOT the Town of Vail. In that they deem it necessary to have the area designated
as no parking, it is our responsibility to ensure compliance. This has been mandated to the Police
Department by the Town Council.
I hope this explanation allows you to better understand the situation. However, should you have
additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at 479-2105 or Police Chief Ken
Hughey at 479-2210.
Thank you for sharing your concern.
Sincerely,

Dear Aonorable Ofterfosso
I am a resident of Beaver Creek and have attended the recent
Colorado Bravo Festival at the Vail Ford Amphitheatero I was
somewhat distressed when I attended the last concert of the season
to find a parking ticket on my vehicle when I returned from the
concerto At the last concert there were considerably more people
in attendance than any of the previous concerts I had attended and
the only place that I could park my vehicle and still malce the
concert was off the frontage road in an area where a permanent gate
has been installedo
In any event I noted that many cars had parked off the highway
but alongside frontage road and it was necessary due to the number
of people that attended the concerto I figured it was in really
poor taste for the police department to hand out $16 0 00 parking
tickets to people who were attending and supporting the Colorado
Bravo Festivalo
I would respectfully request that you investigate this mattere
I do not believe that it was in the best interest of Vail for the
parking tickets to have been given outo Certainly the fact that
people for a period of about two hours parked off the road along
frontage in order to attend a cultural event should not have been
grounds for the police department in their overzealous zeal to give
out these parking ticketso
Thanking you in advance for your considerationo
Respectfullyo
