E3tPANDED AGER9DA
12:00 P.M. 1. Review of the Vail Commons Project.
Andy Knudtsen
Chris Cares Action Reauested of Council: Review the program for the Vail Commons
Melanie Reese site based on the additional research provided by the consultants.
Sherry Dorward
Backqround Rationale: Since the work session on (Vovember 15, 1994, the
consultant team has developed a conceptual site plan, which includes the
uses that the Town Council discussed. In addition, the team has analyzed
the financial implications of the program and will have this information
available for review at the Council hearing.
2:00 P.M. 2. Request for Updated and Amended Plat for Vail Village 9th Filing.
Christie Hochtl
Lauren Waterton Action Requested of Council: Christie Hochtl, property owner at 890 Red
Russell Forrest Sandstone Circle, is requesting the Town remove the word "pedestrian"
Todd Oppenheimer from the easement. Add park, open space, bike path, etc., while
maintaining the utilities easement.
Backqround Rationale:
1. The Town of Vail, 17 years ago, promised the removal of this pedestrian
easement.
2. Electrical box currently blocks access to easement.
3. fVo longer necessary - free buses, bike path, overpass, and Sandstone
sidewalk.
4. Leads nowhere, only encourages further trespassing.
5. Tovvn of Vail building permit #00692 5/13/81 required 9-10 trees in this
area, which now fully grown, block access to pedestrians.
2:10 P.M. 3. VVTCB - Funding Discussion.
Steve Thompson
Frank Johnson Action Repuested of Council: To review how the Marketing and Special
Event money will be distributed by the Town to VVTCB and the terms of
the Information Booth contracts, the Marketing Board, and to whom they
report.
Backqround Rationale: The VVTCB was reorganized to handle Special
Events, Summer Marketing and information dissemination. Staff has met
with the VVTCB and has come up with a plan for how the distribution and
accounting of funds by VVTCB will be handled. In prior contracts with the
VVTCB to run the Information Booths, VVTCB was required to rebate 50%
of any savings or profit from running the Information Booths. VVTCB is
requesting that this requirement be deleted from the contract. Our rebate
on the Information Booth operations has been about $10,000 annually.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends a contract between the Town
and VVTCB to provide the above services.
3:10 P.M. 4. Vail/St. Moritr - Sister City Funding Request.

3:40 P.M. 5. Discussion of Cemetery Master Plan.
Andy Knudtsen
Action Requested of Council: Discuss the wording of the cemetery
question to be put on the ballot in early 1995 and discuss the Master Plan
in general. Additional discussion may focus on other pertinent questions
for the February 7th election.
4:10 P.M. 6. VVendy's Sign Request - a request to place a highway sign on eastbound
Randy Stouder I-70 at Dowd Junction. The sign would be located outside the Town of Vail
limits, approximately 1.5 miles west of Town. Applicant: Gene Merdian
(1Nendy's Marketing Manager, Dillon, Colorado).
Action Reauested of Council: The applicant wishes to obtain Council's
endorsement of the information sign request.
Backqround Rationale: CDOT requires that the Eagle County
Commissioners sign off on the proposal. In the past, the Commissioners
have respected the Town's rejection of this type of sign. CDOT has set up
regulations governing all aspects of highway information signs - staff will
summarize this information for the Council at the work session.
Staff Recommendation: IVone.

which comparison shopping is often desired. Shoppers goods are often bought on destination
shopping trips at locations further from home. These items are found in department, other
general merchandise, and specialty stores in major shopping concentrations such as regional
malls. In Vail, most of these businesses are tourist oriented, and found in the Village and
Lionshead. The largest shoppers goods business in West Vail is Gart Brothers Sporting
Goods with 8,930 square feet. These businesses account for 30 percent of retail space . in
West Vail.with 30,402 square feet in total.
The West Vail business district is mpre auto-oriented than the Village-Lionshead core, and as
a result, has attracted eight fast food restaurants totaling 11,511 square feet. There are only
three non-fast food restaurants in the area.
Nonretail space is dominated by small service businesses such as cleaners, barbers, travel
agencies, banks and savings and loans; and professional offices such as accountants,
insurance, medical-dental, construction, and real estate. The service businesses generally
range in size from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, while the professional office uses range from
100 to 1,200 square feet.
Based on a Town-wide retail study completed in 1987, the West Vail area has added, only
7,100 square feet of space in the last seven years. Convenience store space has stayed
relatively constant over that time period. In the shoppers goods category, Gart Brothers, a
sporting goods store, replaced Bullocks, a general merchandise store. The number of small
specialty stores also increased modestly over the last seven years. Fast food restaurants
increased significantly adding nearly 5,000 square feet as shown in Table 2 below..

Retail Sales Levels
The West Vail business district accounted for nearly $1.4 million in retail sales tax receipts
in 1993 which was about 11 percent of the Town's total tax receipts of $12.4 million as
shown in Table 3 below. Retail businesses accounted for 85 percent of West Vail total tax
receipts. The remainder of sales tax receipts were received from service professional office
and home occupation businesses.

Based on aggregations of sales tax receipts by individual stores, retail sales levels by type of
business in West Vail have been estimated. Convenience stores average $424 per square foot
which is somewhat above average for this store group indicating relatively high sales levels,
and also indicating that additional store space are likely to be supportable. Shoppers goods
businesses average $160 per square foot, which is about what is expected for the store mix
included. Eating and drinking businesses average $254 per square foot overall. In this
category, there is a wide range of sales levels by business indicating some very successful,
and some not so successful businesses.

Over the last six years, average sales per square foot in West Vail have increased by 47 percent overall. This sales increase exceeds the inflation rate for that time period accounting
for about 30 percent of the average sales increase. The greatest overall growth has been in
eating and drinking establishments due to the proportional increase in high sales volume, fast
food restaurants.
Reunt Rates
Rent rates for commercial-retail space in the West Vail 1VIa11 are approximately $15 for large
spaces, and up to $22 (triple net) for 1,000 to 2,000 square foot spaces. Shopping center
spaces in Avon are averaging $19 per square foot (plus $6.50 coinmon area charges) for
small store space. The most comparable commercial space in Vail Village is at Crossroads
1VIa11 where rents range. from $20 to $50 per square foot (plus $8.50 common charges)
depending on location. Other retail rents in Vail Village and Lionshead are not generally
comparable, as rents are generally calculated on a percentage of the gross averaging 8
percent and resulting in overall rents that reach as high as $75 to $125 per square foot for
prime small specialty store space on Bridge Street.
Office commercial rents in the Brandess Building are $12 to $13 per square foot, with $5 per
square foot common area charges. Basement space in the Vail das Schone Building is $10 to
$12 per square foot, all inclusive. There is no Class A space available in the West Vail
area. The closest comparable building would be the Glen Lyon Building in Cascade Village

which rents for $18 to $22, with common area charges of $8, as shown in Table 5 below.

Supermarket Potentials
There has been little new locally-oriented commercial space built in Vail in recent years,
partially because there is a lack of available locations for new development. Many retail
businesses, in particular, big box retailers, including City Market and Wal Mart, have
located in Avon, due to the lack of locally available sites.
Safeway has expressed an interest in building a new larger store in West Vail, and they have
expressed interest in the Vail Commons site. As is typical with larger supermarket
superstores, it would contain a bakery, a deli, a florist, a fish market, video rental, and other
convenience functions. This likely would prevent the development of smaller stores of this
type in the area.
Safeway is interested in a 53,000 square foot store which is 17,000 square feet larger than
their current store. Current sales levels (in the $400 to $450 per square foot range) are
above industry average, indicating that a larger, supermarket superstore would likely be
supportable in West Vail. A new larger supermarket would be able to capture sales leakages

now flowing to City 1Vlarket in Avon. A supermarket of 53,000 would need to capture
approximately 20 percent greater sales to achieve sales per square foot of $325 to $375
which is within the average range for a supermarket.

If another supermarket chain were to locate on the Vail Commons property, overall sales
levels would likely not support both stores. Using the figures from Table 6, total grocery
store sales potentials with a new 53,000 square foot store are estimated at $17 million to
$20 million. If another supermarket were built, in addition to the existing Safeway, sales per
square foot at the two stores combined would drop to $193 to $223 per square foot. At these
levels, either both stores would be performing marginally, or one would close business.
To perform at industry averages of $300 to $350 per square foot, the combined stores would
need to capture grocery store sales of $26.7 to $31.2 million, or 85 to 92 percent higher than
current levels as shown in Table 7 below. This amount of grocery sales increase in Vail is unlikely,. given there are only limited locations from which to draw additional sales from
outside of Vail.

Other Commercial Potentaals
The West Vail area could also support an increment of additional small retail and
convenience commercial space. A small auto oriented convE:nience center with 25,000 to
30,000 square feet of small store space would be supportable. Such a center would contain
spaces as small as 1,000 square feet, and typically range to 2,500 square feet. The types of
tenants would likely include convenience stores, small restauirants, cleaners, beauty parlors,
mail centers, video stores and the like. Small store rental rattes would average $20 to $25
per square foot plus common charges. The supportable convenience store would generate an
estimated $3.00 to $3.75 million in retail taxes based on 60 percent of the space (15,000)
leased to retail tenants (40 percent to non-retail tenants) and average sales of $200 to $250
per square foot.
There is also a market for office space in the West Vail area. The greatest need is for small
one and two person businesses in the 300 to 1,000 square foot range. There also is a marlket
for an executive office suite that rents individual offices and provides office support functions
to individual proprietors. Supportable office rents would be close to the retail rents of $20 to
$25 per.square foot. One development aiternative would be to build a convenience
commercial center with second level office space.
Sales Tax Projections
If Safeway were to build a new 53,000 square foot supermairket, this store would generate an
estimated $689,000 to $795,000 in sales tax revenues to the Town of Vail based on estimated
sales levels for this new expanded store of $325 to $375 per square foot. Based ora current
sales levels in the $400 to $450 per square foot range for the existing smaller Safeway Store,
the replacement of the existing Safeway with a larger store would result in a net increase af
$110,000 to $144,000 in sales tax as shown in Table 8 below.

If the existing Safeway was redeveloped as a general merchandise store, (such as a large
sporting goods store), the sales tax increase would be $216,000 to $288,000 based on
average sales of $150 to $200 for the new store. The total net increase of a new Safeway
plus Safeway store redevelopment would be $326,000 to $432,000 as shown.
Based on total current Town of Vail sales tax collections of $12.4 million, the new Safeway
store would result in a net increase of 0.9 to 1.2 percent over current levels. Together with
a retail reuse for the existing Safeway Store, the net increase in sales tax revenues represents
a 2.6 % to 3.4 % increase in Town sales tax revenues as shown in Table 9 below.

RE: Vaal Vallev-St. Moa-ntz ister-Cetv Funding I2e,guest for 1995.
Dear Merv...
After a lengthy conversation with Buzz Reynolds yesterday, I sent him the attached memo,
modified and updated slightly from what I sent to the Vail Town Council on September 18th. I
asked Avon to contribute 25% of 50% of $37,500. to cover the 1995 costs related only to the
Exchange and Administrative Programs. I will submit something similar to the Beaver Creek
Resort Company shortly.
Therefore, I'd like to ask that you submit a request to the Vail Town ouncil for 50% of 50% of
the same $37,500.. or $9375 for 1995. My understanding from our last conversation is that
these monies would come from Council Contingency Funds for 1995, but that for 1996, they
would be budgeted as a"line item". If any of this is inconect, please let me know. As I mentioned to Buzz, the final Sister-Cities Development Plan & Budget should be available
in the next week or so.
Warm regards... .

Memorandum by Facsimile
To: Avon Town Council
From: John Horan-Kates
East West Marketing
Date: October 9, 1994
Subject: Vail Vallev-St. Moritz Sister Ci Funding Request for 1995.
Following our trip to St. Moritz in July, I was asked to lead a planning effort for the future
possibilities. I agreed to volunteer my time, with certain limited costs covered by yourselves
($1250), the Town of Vail and Vail Associates.
Over the past two months, numerous meetings have resulted 'ui a preliminary draft plan and
budget for the Vail Valley's relationship with St. Moritz and trie Engadine Valley for 1995. The
highlights of this plan indicate that we'd like to pursue the following programs...
1. Exchange Programs. Estimated Cost.
A. In-bound Professional Training Program $ 0.
B. Out-Bound Professional Training Program $ 0.
C. Annual Exchange Visit Subsidy $ 4000.
(St. Moritz to Vail Valley in Nov. 95)
D. Language Program $ 0,
E. Art Exchange (Operated by Vail Valley Arts Council) $ 500.
II. Administration.
A. Program Management (Fees and exper?ses) $ 24000.
B. Communications Activities $ 9000.
(Newsletters, joint logo, Fall Welcoming Event, etc.)
Sub Total " $ 37500.
III. Public Relations Programs.
A. Vail Valley-St. Moritz Press Event (New York - April) $ 6000.
B. Vail Valley-St. Moritz Press Event (Pai-is - September) $ 8500.
Note: St. Moritz would contribute a matching'614,500 to fund these events.
a
Following considerable discussion, the Sister-Cities Commission recommends the following...
A. That a new non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, possibly to be called the
Van9 VaIlley Exchange, be created to handle the St.Moritz relationship,
and any other sister-cities that may be approached on behalf of all of the
communities of the Vail Valley.
B. That the "municipalities" (Vail-50%, Avon-25% and Beaver Creek Resort
Co.-25%) would fund approximately 50% of the Exchange and
Administrative costs. Many of the Exchange costs aze shown as zero
because those programs would be lazgely self-funded by the individuals
involved. A community membership program would be established to
provide the other half of this funding. The membership categories would
include individuals and families (allowing for grass-roots involvement),
and businesses, with both lazge and small.designations. Vail Associates
would be asked to contribute as a large business approximately $2,000.
C. That funds for the Public Relations programs come from the valley-wide

that these press event ideas must compete with all the other good ideas that
need funding for the overall marketing of the Vail Valley. Further, it was
felt that the Town Council's should not specifically earmazk a portion of
their marketing fund contributions for sister-city PR programs. The

Moritz PR program ideas should be made by the group given overall Vail
Valley marketing resource allocation responsibility. The above estimated

Therefore. we are asking the Town of Avon to contribute 25% of 50% of $37 500 or 4687 to
cover the 1995 costs related onlv to the Exchange and Administrative Programs The PR

A similaz request has been made of the Vail Town Council, and a request will be initiated with
the Beaver Creek Resort Company shortly.

MemoYandum To: Kent Myers
Beaver Creek Resort Company
From: John Horan-Kates
East West Marketing r
Date: October 9, 1994
Subject: Vail Valle - t Morit ;ister i Funig Request,for 1995.
Following our trip to St. Moritz in July, I was asked to lead a pl!anning effort for the future
possibilities. I agreed to volunteer my time, with certain limited costs covered by the Town of
Avon, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates.
Over the past two months, numerous meetings have resulted in a preliminary draft plan and.
budget for the Vail Valley's relationship with St. Moritz and thf; Engadine Valley for 1995. Tlhe
highlights of this plan indicate that we'd like to pursue the following programs...
I. Exchange Programs. Estimated Cost.
A. In-bound Professional Training Program $ 0.
B. Out-Bound Professional Training Program $ 0.
C. Annual Exchange Visit Subsidy $ 4000.
(St. Moritz to Vail Valley in Nov. 95)
D. Language Program $ p.
E. Art Exchange (Operated by Vail Valley.Arts Council) $ 500.
II. Administration.
A. Program Management (Fees and expen,ses) $ 24000.
B. Communications Activities $ 9000.
(Newsletters, joint logo, Fall Welcomin€; Event, etc.)
Sub Total $ 37500.
III. Public Relations Programs.
A. Vail Valley-St. Moritz Press Event (New York - April) $ 6000.
B. Vail Valley-St. Moritz Press Event (Paris - September) $ 8500.
Note: St. Moritz would contribute a matching $14,500 to fund these events.
'
tl
6
Following considerable discussion, the Sister-Cities Commission recommends the following...
A. That a new non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, possibly to be called the
`'af9 Valley Ezchange, be created to handle the St.Moritz relationship,
and any other sister-cities that may be approached on behalf of all of the
communities of the Vail Valley.
B. That the "municipalities" (Vail-50%, Avon-25% and Beaver Creek Resort
Co.-25%) would fund approximately 50% of the Exchange and
Administrative costs. Many of the Exchange costs are shown as zero
' because those programs would be largely self-funded by the individuals
involved. A community membership program would be established to
provide the other half of this funding. The membership categories would
include individuals and families (allowing for grass-roots involvement),
and businesses, with both lazge and small designations. Vail Associates
would be asked to contribute as a lazge business approximately $2,000.
C. That funds for the Public Relations programs come from the valley-wide
marketing fund, however it is constituted for 1995. The consensus was '
that these press event ideas must compete with all the other good ideas that
need funding for the overall marketing of the Vail Valley. Further, it was
felt that the municipalities should not specifically earmark a portion of
their marketing fund contributions for sister-city PR programs. The
decision as to whether funding should be given to these Vail Valley-St.
Moritz PR program ideas should be made by the group given overall Vail
Valley mazketing resource allocation responsibility. The above estimated
? costs reflect only our half, assuming St. Moritz would pay the other half.
Therefore, we are asking the BCRC to contribute 25% of 500/o of $37,500 or $4687 to cover
the 1995 costs related onlv to the Exchange and Administrative Programs The PR nrogram
dollars would have to come from the vallevwide marketing fund
Similar requests have been made of the Vail and Avon Town Councils. I would be happy to visit a Board meeting personally to further explain the overall program at
your request. A copy of the final Sister Cities Development Plan & Budget Plan will be
forwarded shortly.

MEflAOffiANDllM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: December 13, 1994
SUBJECT: Wendy's Highway Information Sign Request.
Applicant: Gene Merdian Jr., Marketing Manager of UVendy's, Colorado
. Partnership, Dillon, Colorado
Planner: Randy Stouder
I. ~ESCRIPTION OF T91E REQVEa7 tl
Gene Merdian, representing VVendy's, is requesting an audience with Council to ask for
endorsement of their request to install a highway information sign on I-70, approximately 1.5
miles west of the Town of Vail boundary in Dowd Junction. The basis for the applicant's
request is that the Wendy's at the West Vail Interchange is financially under-performing.
According to the applicant, the sign would notify eastbound I-70 travelers of Wendy's location
at the UVest Vail Interchange. VVhen approaching Town from the west, the restaurant is not
visible until you are very close to the West Vail exit. The applicant feels that this does not
give motorists adequate time to make a decision to get off at the interchange and patronize
Wendy's.
The sign would be the standard interstate highway information sign for food. It would be 10
feet by 13 feet (130 square feet) and wrould display a 3 feet by 5 feet Wendy's logo. An
. additional sign couid be placed on the off-ramp indicating the direction in which one must go
to get to the restaurant. This sign would be one-quarter of the size of the main sign on I-70.
Both signs would be the sfandard blue background with white letters and would contain the
Wendy's corporation logo. Both signs could accommodate up to four other restaurant logos.
Though the Town does not allow off-site advertising, these signs could be approved as they
would be located in the CDOT right-of-way and outside the boundaries of the Town.
80. ~~CK~~OUND
CDOT has processed four other formal requests for commercial highwray signs:
1. Holiday Inn - 1984;
2. Lionsquare Lodge - 1987;
3. Kettle Restaurant - 1987; and,
4. McDonalds Restaurant - 1987.
In all of these cases, the Town refused to support the business's request for a highway sign.
It is our understanding that CDOT will not approve a sign request if the Town Council does
not support the application.
.
~
111. STAFF REC09UIMENDATIORI
Staff is recommending that the Town Council deny the applic;ant's request for an information
sign at Dowd Junction.. Staff bases its recommendation on the following information:
•Chapter 16.26 of the Town's Sign Code prohibits off premises advertising signs. All
signs must be totally contained on the property on whiich the use is located. Staff
understands that technically, the sign would be located in the CDOT right-of-way, but
believes that the appearance of off-site advertising compromises the Town's efforts to
be consistent.
•Approving Wendy's request could lead to additional I-70 signage requests (i.e.
Texaco, Phillips 66, McDonalds, Marriott, West Vail Lodge, etc.). In addition to signs
for restaurants CDOT will allow signs for, gas stations and lodges. If the Town
approved a sign for Wendy's, it would be difficult to rE:strict other advertisers from
doing the same thing. This could eventually produce three I-70 informational signs,
prior to each exit ramp, and three directional signs on each ramp. Thus, with six exit
ramps in the Town, we could potentially have thirty-si:K highway signs with up to four'
logos on each sign (gas signs can have up to six advertisers logos). ,
•A highway information sign currently exists on I-70 e;astbound prior to the West Vail
exit that announces the fact that gas, food and lodgirng are all available at West Vail.
Council's denial of previous sign requests has resulted in a marked difference in highway
. appearance between. Vait and other nearby mountain resort c;ommunities. Driving to Avon or
Frisco, one quickly notices a plethora of commercial signs. 1"he I-70 corridor through Vail is
pleasantly devoid of commercial signs.

space to eight restaurants throughout the Village and Lionshead. The $4 per square
foot fee has been in place since the early 1980s. Also during the discussion, the
Council: directed staff to create additional guidelines and specifications for space
leases in the parking structures; expressed interest in discussing the type of business
mix desired in the Transportation Center; and agreed to revisit a proposal to remodel
the terminal building in the Transportation Center. Town fVianager Bob McLaurin said

employee housing unit at 770 Potato Patch Drive (the closing occurred 12-6). The
town acquired the 900 sq. ft., one-bedroom unit for $70,000 through a eourt action.

Council members present: Johnston, Lapin, iVavas, Osterfoss, Shearer, Steinberg,

--Consent Agenda
The Council voted 7-0 to approve eight items on the consent agenda..The items
included, among other things, final approval of an employee pension plan; final
approval of a supplemental appropriation; and first reading of an ordinance creating a.
bed and breakfast permit which allows complimentary alcoholic beverages to be served
to overnight guests over fihe age of 21. For information on the bed and breakfast
permit, contact Town Clerk Holly iVicCu4cheon at 479-2136.
--Resolutions No. 24, 25, 26
The Council unanimously approved housekeeping resolutions on the town's lease
policy; signature authorization on town accounts; and the town's personnel rules and
regulations. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom iVioorhead at 479-2107.
--Cable Television Franchise to TCI Cablevision of the Rockies
The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve a 15-year franchise with TCI
Cablevision of the Rockies. Before the vote, the Council heard from East Vail resident
Sue iViason, who presented a petition containing 97 signatures in opposition to the
franchise, citing inadequate and "surly" service by the company. A second resident, Ed
Drager, said he thought a 15 year agreement was too long. In recommending approval
of the franchise, Councilman Jan Strauch said the agreement, which includes
rebuilding the cable system with fiber optic cable within the first three years, is the best
way to address service problems, particularly those in East Vail. The franchise also
includes a favored nation clause that requires continued upgrades of the system.
Council members were reminded the TCI contract does not preclude other cable
companies from operating in Vail. TCI iVianager Stan McKinzie said he was
embarrassed by recent problems in East Vail. He said TCI is "fully pushing". every
piece of equipment to service the aging system which was built 25 years ago. TCI took
over the franchise from Heritage Cablevision three years ago. For additional details, .
contact Town Attorney Tom Nioorhead at 479-2107.
--Request to Extend Contract with Channel 5
The Council heard a request from Vail Valley Community Television Channel 5 to
extend the town's funding of the station for one year. In the past, the non-profit
organization has received two percent of the town's five percent franchise fees

collected by TCI Cablevision in accordance with the franchise agreement. However,
any agreement for continued financial support of Channell 5 by the town will be
separate from the new franchise agreement. The Council voted 7-0 yesterday to
continue the two percent funding for a period of up to six months to allow time for the
station to prepare a strategic plan for shared funding of tfie stafion by other users. For
more information, contact Channel 5 Board President Brian Hall at 949-5657, or Town
Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107 --Assault Weapons Ban Reconsideration
The Council voted 7-0 not to repeal the assault weapons ban ordinance. According to
the Town Charter, a special election must now be held within 90 days (by March 6) to
take the issue to a vote of the people. Town Attorney Torn Moorhead told the Council
yesterday that a decision issued by the Colorado Court of Appeals last week would
allow the timing of this election to occur outside the November requirement of the
TABOR Amenai-nent since a tax question would not be involved in the ballot.
Reconsideration of the ordinance was prompted by a petition process successfully
completed by a five-member committee of Vail residents. The ordinance was first
approved by the Council on Sept. 20. Last night, two Vail residents spoke in opposition ,
of the ban, citing constitutional concerns. Councilman Jirn Shearer noted the cost of a
special election would be between $2,000 and $3,000. The Council has previously
indicated an interest in bringing other issues to the speciaI election ballot, most notably
a non-binding question probing the cemetery issue. For more information, contact
Town Clerk Holly McCutcheon at 479-2136, oc Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-
2107.
--Employee Housing Town Attorney Tom Moorhead announced the town had c;losed on an employee
housing unit at 770 Potato Patch Drive (additional details. are included in work session
briefs). The Council agreed to lease the unit from now ta Nov. 1, 1995, according to
guidelines specified by the FDIC and the town's employee housing requirements. A
lottery will be used to select a qualified tenant. Application information will be available
later this week. For details, contact Moorhead at
479-2107.

Re: Lionsridge Loop Bus Service
Dear 1Vlike:
Thank you for your letter dated November 28, 1994 concerning the new Lionsridge bus
route. As I mentioned in my earlier letter, I think that the service is justified based on potential
ridership and now there will be an opportunity to demonstrate that.
I am sending you this letter to let you know that I am aware of how contentious the
decision to add this route and reduce frequency on other routes has been. I own other properties
that are affected by the reduced schedule. However, I believe that providing a reasonable level
of service to the majority of riders is the appropriate goal. That goal should be better served
by the new routes and frequencies.
Thanks again for your hard work on this project. -
Sincerely,

T0: MAYOR AND IrYEMBERS OF COUIVCILy TOWN 0r VAIL; CC: SHERRY DOR6dARD
FRQAhl: JEFF BOb1iENo MEMB ER, TASg FO'RCE, (T.QMMOIVS P$Q,7EC.`T
SUBJECT: CONCLUSIQAiS REGARDING TIiE RF,p TO HE PRY-PAFt£D FOR DEVELOPERS
DATE: 13. T7ECEMSER 1994 •
I regret that I cannot be at the meetiieg this afternona I have conf2acts which
I cannot avoid. Howrever after spending a can.siderable time at.tasls Yorce a-ud
public meetings regarding the Commoais, both yesterday and earlier, T decided ft
wag appropriate to communicate myy observatian abaut •the direction which the
tssk force believes the town should go .
(1) 7t is abundantly' ciear both from members of the task force and the public
'that the primary objective for develQpment of the sfte should be honsing of good
qual3ty that will allow full time residemts the opportun.ity to live in VaaI, either
as renters ar ovrners. In my apini,on, 9f we do not listeaa to this need, Vail wW
become a ghost town in very few years. The trend aamw eidsts: we ].ase ZOfl
xegistea-ed vote.rs a year and it will take real foresight and visioaa 'to reverse 3t.
.
(2) Tt !s evfdent from the report of the consultanFs that two grocery stores have
no economYc merit, EherePOre were the town to Coras3der plaCing a grocexy store oxa the site, it is really limited to dealing with Safeway.
(3) Were Safewray to anove, redevelopment of the site which it presently qwns can .
only be commerci,al, and ttxat creates a host af problems which relate to re-
development of the entire West Vail Mail. To at$empt ta re-develop the sit.e gor
housing would be a disaster and wouid quickly become a Timber R,adge.
(4) The traffac problems on the fron,tage road and West Vaai Exit must be salved,
regardless oC, and iudependently of how the Commans site is developed_
(5) Some commercial devetopment on the Commons site would have merit as an .
ancillary to the residential deveiopment Yt would create casb flow that would
ofFset svme of the defecit from oth,er development.
(6) Regardless of what.is developed, the Town of Vail must expect to subsidize
. ft, therePore what is developed staould strictly fYilfull a public need. ,
][t is stronglY suggested that thst the RP'P be simp?e anQit the following:
"Development oP this parcel shait include not less than 60 residentfal un3ts (with
sPecifieity on type aaad size). The property is a.oned CC-3, wkach ailows
oommercial uses." That creates a level pl,aying fieZd, and gives, the Town a a-eai
toe-hald on decent housing gor lacals.
Thank you.
