IVIEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney
DATE: November 22, 1995
RE: Town of Vail: Substance and Procedure Information

RECYCLBD PAPER
INDEX
I. Home Rule Cities.
II. Town Council Procedure.
III. State Code of Ethics.
IV. Relationship Between the Town Council and the Town Manager.
V. Delegation of Power.
VI. Conflict of Interest in Land Use Decisions.
VII. Vested Rights Ordinance.
VIII. The Open Meetings Law.

0. Hoene Rule Cit(es. In 1912, the home rule amendment to the Constitu4ion of the State of Colorado
was adopted which provided tha4 the peopie of any city or town having a
population of 2,000 inhabitants should have the power to adopt a Charter which
would be its basic organic law and extend fo all its local and municipal matters.
The amendment provided that ordinances made in local and municipal matters,
within the jurisdiction of the Yown or city would supersede any law of the state
which conflicted with 4he local ordinance. By amendment in 9970, the requirement
for 2,000 inhabitanfs vuas eliminated. In July 1972, with the adoption of its home
rule charter, the Town of Vail became a home rule municipality.
The principal difference between home rule cities and statutory cities and towns
relates to 4heir powers and their ability to be controlled by the state legislature.
Sta4utory as opposed to home rule tow+ns and cities may no4 enact ordinances
which attempt to supersede or nullify a state statute. Home rule cities, on the
other hand, can, as previously stated, enact laws which conflict with state statutes
within their jurisdiction in certain situa4ions. The powers o# home rule cities 40
legislate ordinances which may conflict with state statutes are limited to local and
municipal maYters.
UVhat is local as distinguished from general and statewide? The words "local and
municipal" appearing in Article XX of the Constitution is not an expression which
is fixed in its meaning. 1A/hat is local as distinguished from general and statewide
depends somewhat on time and circumstances. The home rule amendment
specifically made the regulation of municipal elections, the levy and collection of
taxes for municipal purposes, and special assessments, matters of municipal
concern. The courts, in their decisions, have indicated that the state legislature
cannot strip a home rule city of its constitufionally granted power to deal with
municipal elections, cannot enact a law which would deny to a home rule city its
constitufional power 4o exercise the righY of eminent domain, and cannot prohibit
a home rule city from exercising its power to enact purely local excise taxes and
sales taxes. A home rule city may pass a viable ordinance which supersedes a
state statute upon the same subject matter where the matters contained therein
are ma4ters of exclusively local concem.
Other matters vvhich have been determined to be of local and municipal concern
are:
1. The regula4ion of the speed of motor vehicles,
2. The regulation of 4raffic,
3. Construction .of off-street parking facilities, .
4. Adoption ofi sales and use 4ax,
5. Financing a program of capital improvements,
4
6. ,4ssessment against properiy for local improvemen4s,
7. Zoning, and 8. Business and occupa4ional privilege taxes.
The preceding lis4 is by no means exclusive, but is set forth just to give some idea
of the 4ype of things the courts have ruled to be of local concern.
ANatters exclusively of statewide concem may be controlled by state statute, even
in home rule cities, and in such ma4ters the s4afute will alwrays supersede
conflicting local laws. The determinafion of whether a matter is of statevuide
importance or one of local and municipal concem is often difificul4. It may depend
upon s4atutory enactment or the general nature of the subject matter. There is no
definite rule 4o be used in making the determina4ion. Fortunately, however, in
many instances the courts have already made the determination for us.
The courts in Colorado have come 4o recognize 4ha4 there are matters which may
be both of s4atewide and local concem as opposed to one or the other. In
situations which are of both local and statewide concern, there is nothing improper
about legislation on the same subject by both the home rule city and the state
absent some conflict be4ween 4he.4uvo regulations. The mere enactment of a law
by the state does no4 consti4ute preemp4ion by the state of the matter regulated.
If the subject mat4er is exclusively of statevuide concern and the ordinance conflicts
with the statufie, the ordinance will fail. In purely local mafiters where fhere is a
conflict befiween a statufie and an ordinance, the ordinance supersedes the statute.
1Alhere 4here is both an ordinance and a statute and they are not in conflict, bu4 the
ordinance goes further in its prohibition, 4here is nothing contradictory betvueen
' 4hem and 4hey can both exist.
The state constitufion provides that the charter of a home rule city shall be its
organic laav and extend 4o all its local and municipal matters. In other words, the
home rule charter of the Town of Vail is its consti4ution. It constitutes a limita4ion
on the Town's powers relating 40 local and municipal matters. It acts as a
limitation on the powers granted by Article XX of the sfate constitution as to local
and municipa! matters. If there is not charter prohibition, and a matter is of local
and municipal concern, the Town Council may pass legislation affecting the subject
matter.

OU. TOWP9 Cot,dPlCll PPoCed6lPe. ,
The Town Council is required by Section 4.9 of the Char4er 4o meet a4 least 4wice
each month. Section 4.6 of the Charter provides tha4 the Council shall act only by
ordinance, resolution, or motion. All laws passed by the Town Council must be in
the form of an ordinance. In addition, Section 4.8 of the Town Charter provides
4haf every ac4 making an appropriation, creating an indebtedness, authorizing
borrowing of money, levying any fiax, authorizing the sale of any real proper4y,
es4ablishing any rule or regulation for the viola4ion of uvhich a penalty is imposed,
or placing any burden upon or limiting the use of private property mus4 be by
ordinance. In o4her areas, the Council may act by resolu4ion or by motion.
Resolutions are required by the Charter to be in writing, numbered, and recorded
in the official records of the Town. Motions are verbal and are the least formal
way of doing business.
Except fior emergency ordinances, the Charter provides in Section 4.90 the
fiollowing procedure for enactmen4 of ordinances.
(a) The ordinance shall be introduced a4 any regular meeting of the Council by
any member 4hereof.
(b) The ordinance shall be read in 9ull, or in cases where copies of the
ordinance have been available to the Council and are or have been made
available to the public, said ordinance may be ready by title only.
(c) After the firs4 reading of the ordinance, the same shall be approved with or
withou4 amendment or rejected by a vote of the. Council.
,(d) If the ordinance is approved on first reading, it shall be published once in
full. The Council shall set a day, hour, and place a4 which the Council shall
hold the public hearing on the ordinance, and notice of said day, hour, and
place shall be included in the first publication.
(e) The ordinance shall be introduced a second time at a meeting not earlier
than seven days after first publication for final approval, rejection, or other
action as may be 4aken by a vote of the Council.
,
• An ordinance, if amended subsequen4 to its last publication, shall be
published in full after final passage; but if not amended, i4 shall be
published either by 4itle or in full as the Council.may determine.
(g) UNhenever an ordinance shall be published by reference or by 4itle, the
publication shall contain a summary of the subject matter of said ordinance,
and shall con4ain a notice to the public tha4 copies of the proposed
ordinance are available at the Office of the Tovun Clerk. The publica4ion
of any ordinance by reference or by title as provided herein must set forth
in full any penalty clause contained in said ordinance.
6
The Char4er, in Section . 4.11, also provides for the passage of emergency
ordinances by the Town Council for the preservation of public property, health,
wreifare, peace, or safety. The courts have generaliy left a determination as to
what constitutes an emergency for the preservation of public property, health,
welfare, peace, or safety, 4o the sole determination of the Town Council. Unless
some fype of #raud is involved, courts are extremely reluctant to overrule a
legislative body's determina4ion that such an emergency exists. In order to pass
an emergency ordinance, there must be a unanimous vote ofi all Councilmen
present at the meeting, or a vote of 5 Councilmembers; whichever is less. Further,
the facts showing such urgency and need must be specified in 4he ordinance itself.
The Charter provides 4hat no emergency ordinance may 4ake a gran4 of special
privilege, levy taxes, or fix rates charged by any Town owned utility. An
emergency ordinance requires passage at only one meeting of the Town Council,
and neither a putilic hearing nor a first publication as is required for ordinary
ordinances is required. In addition, an emergency ordinance 4akes effect
immediately upon final passage, as opposed to a regular ordinance which takes
effect five days after publication following second reading and #inal passage. One
publication of an emergency ordinance is required vuithin ten days after passage
or as soon thereafter as is possible.
The Touvn Council may also call a special meeting if it so desires. However, any
ordinance considered a4 a special meeting must meet the voting requirements og
an emergency ordinance - in other words,. it shall be approved only by unanimous
vote of all Councilmen present or a vote of five Councilmen, whichever is less.
The Municipal Code in Section 2.04.060 provides 4hat, "Regular and special
meetings of the Town Council held in accordance with Section 4.1 and 4.2 of the
Charter of the Town, while open to the public and citizens of the Town,
fundamentally are administrafive hearings, their principal purpose of wrhich are ta
enable fhe Council to obtain informa4ion, consider, and determine legislative and
administrative matters."
Finally, Section 2.04.090 of fihe Municipal Code provides that Roberts' Rules of
Order generally govern the public meetings of the Town Council. Tne Town has
acquired a video which explains the basics of parliamentary procedure.
It explains how to: * follow procedure
* malce motions
* amend motions
* postpone motions
* commit motions
, * table motions
* discuss motions
* vote on motions

V9U. SYa4e (Code mf Etitics. '
Article 18 of Title 24 provides a code of ethics for public officials. Where the Town
Charter conflicts with the State statute, 4he Charter prevails. The statute provides
the following rules of conduct for all public officials and employees including local
governmental officials. 14 s4ates tha4 a public officer, member o# the general
assembly, local governmen4 official, or employee shall not:
(a) Disclose or use confidential information acquired in the course of his official
duty in order to further subs4antially his personal financial interests; or
(b) Accept a gift of substantial value or a substantial economic benefiit
4an4amount to a gift of substantial value:
(i), dNhich would tend improperly fo influence a reasonable person in
his posi4ion fo depart firom the faithful and impartial discharge of his
public duties; or .
(ii) UVhich he knows or which a reasonable person in his position
should know under the circumstances is primarily for the purpose
of rewarcling him for official action he has taken.
An economic benefit tantamount to. a gift of substantial value includes withou4
limitation a loan at a rate of interest substantially lower than the commercial rate
then currently prevalen4 for similar loans and compensation received for private
services rendered at a rate substantialfy exceeding the fair market value of such
services.
The statute goes on to exempt the follouving from consideration as gifts:
(a) Campaign contributions reported as required by Section 1-45-108, C.R.S.;
(b) An occasional non-pecuniary gift, insignificant in value;
(c) A non-pecuniary award publicly presented by a non-profit organization in
recognition of public service;
,
(d) Paymenfi of or reimbursement for actual and necessary expenditures for
4ravel and subsistence for attendance at a convention or other meeting at
which such public officer or member of fhe general assembly, local
government official, or employee is scheduled to participate.
(e) ' Reimbursement for or acceptance of an opportunity to participate in a
social function or a meeting uvhich is offered to such public officer, member
of the general assembly, local government official, or employee which is
not extraordinary when viewed in light of the position held by such public
. officer, member of the general assembly, local govemment official, or
employee.

- Items of perishable or non-permanent value inciuding bu4 not limited fio
meals, lodging, 4ravel expenses, or fiickets 4o sporting, recreational,
educational, or cultural events;
(g) Payment for speeches, debates or ofher public events, reported as
honorariums;
(h) Payment of salary #rom employment, including other governmen4
employment, in addition fio that earned from being a member of the general
assembly.
The lawr se4s forth the following rules of conduct specifically for local govemmen4
officials and employees. ,4 local governmenfi ofificial or local govemmenfi employee
shall not:
(a) Engage in a substantial financial transaction for his private business
' purposes with a person whom he inspecfs or supervises in the course of
his official duties; or
(b) Perform an official act directly and substantially effecting 4o i4s economic
benefit a business or other undertaking in which he ei4her has a substantial
financial interes4 or is engaged as counsel, consultant, representative or
agent.
It goes on 4o state fiha4 a member o# the goveming body of a local government
who has a personal or private interest in any matter proposed or pending before
the governing body shall disclose such interest to the governing body and shall not
vote 4hereon and shall refrain from attempt'ing fo influence the decisions of the
other members of the governing body in voting on the matter. However, the law
allows a member of the local goveming body 4o vote notvvithstanding the previous
provision if his participafion is necessary to obtain a quorum and if he discloses
his conflict in interest in writing to the Secretary of State and if he states ior the
record the fact and summary nature of the interest disclosed at the time of
performing the act.
Finally, ano4her section ofi this lauv provides that local government officials or
employees shall not be interes4ed in any contract made by fhem under their official
capacity or by any body, agency or board of which they are members or
employees. The sections goes on to state fihat:
(a) "Be , interested in" does not include holding a minority interes4 in a
corporation.
(b) Contract does not include:
(i) Contracfis awarded 40 the lowest responsible bidder based on
competitive bidding procedures. .
9
(ii) Merchandise sold to the highest bidder at pubiic auctions.
(iii) Inves4men4s or deposits in financial institutions which are in fihe
business of loaning or receiving monies.
(iv) A contract with an in4erested party if, because of geographic
restrictions, a local government could not otherwise reasonably
affiord itself or the subject of the contract. It shall be presumed that
a local govemment coutd not o4herwiise reasonably afford itself of
the subject of a contract if 4he addifiional cos4 4o the government is
greater than 10% of a contract with an interested party or if the
contract is for services thafi must be performed within a limited time
period and no o4her con4ractor can provide 4hose services within
4hat time period.
(v) A contrac4 wi4h respect to which any member of the general
assembly, public officer, local government official, or employee has
disclosed a personal interest and has not voted thereon any such
disclosure shall be made: to the goveming body, fior local
govemmen4 officials and employees;.in accordance with 4he rules of the House of- Representatives and the Senate for members of
the general assembly; and to the Secretary of State for all others.
Our home rule charter is more restrictive in regard to Councilmembers' interests in
contracts 4han the neuv State law. Our charter provides in Sec4ion 3.7 that no member of
fihe Council, during his term of office, shall be a salaried employee of fhe Toavn nor shall he have any di[ect or indirect financial interest in any contract with the Town. It exempts
con4racts with corporations in which mem6ers of Council have less than a 10% interest
in any class of securities of such corporation and further allows minor incidental
4ransactions. as approved by the Council. [n.the past, 4he Council has determined that
minor fransacfions are those which have a dollar value of less than $500.00. llVhere our
charter and the Stafe statutes conflict, our charter controls.
The state law does not provide for any criminal penalties for violation of its provisions.
It does provide tha4 every contract made in violation of any of its provisions shall be
voidable at the insistence of any party to the contract except the officer interested therein.

. Relationship Befween the Town Couneil and the Town RAanager.
Section 1.4 of the Towrn Charter provides that flie municipal government o# the
Town of Vail shall be known as "Council-Manager govemment." This section of
the Charter gives all powers to enact local legislation, adopt budgets, determine
policies, and appoint the Town fiAanager, to the Town Council. It gives the power
4o execute the laws anci administer the Town government 4o the Town Manager.
Section 6.3 of the Town Charter sets forth more specifically the powers and duties
of the Town Manager as follows:
"(a) Be responsible for the enfiorcement of the laws and ordinance of the Tovun;
(b) Hire, suspend, 4ransfer, and remove Town employees;
(c) Make appointmen4s on the basis of executive and administrative ability and
of the training and experience of such appoin4ees in the work vuhich they
are to perform;
(d) Cause a budget fo be prepared annually and submit 4o the Council and be
responsible fior the administration of the budge4 after its adoption;
(e) Prepare and submit 4o the Council as of the end of the fiscal year a.
comp(e4e report on the finances and administrative activities of the Town
for the preceding year, and upon request of the Councit, make written or
verbal reports at any time concerning the affairs of the Town under his
supervision;
(f) Keep the Council advised of the financial condition and future needs of the
Town and make such recommendations to the Council for adoption as he
may deem necessary or expedient;
(g) Exercise supervision and control over all executive and administrative
departments, and recommend fo the Council any proposal he thinks
advisable 4o establish, consolidate, or abolish adminis4rative departments;
(h) Be responsible for the enforcement of all terms and conditions imposed in
favor of the Town and any contract or public utility firanchise and upon
knowledge of any violation thereof, report the same to the Council for such
action and proceedings as may be necessary 4o enforce the same; (i) A4tend Council meetings and participate in discussions with the Council in
an advisory capacify;
Establish a system of accounting and auditing for the Town which shall
reflec4, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial condition and financial operation of the Town;
11
(k) Provide for engineering, architectural, main4enance, and construc4ion
services required by the Towrn;
(I) Serve in ex officio capacity on all present and fu4ure boards, committees,
and commissions of the Town;
(m) Perform other such du4ies as may be prescribed by fihis Char4er, or by
ordinance, or by other applicable law or required of him by Council, which
are no4 inconsis4enfi with this Charter."
The Charter further clarifies the relationship between the Town Council and the
Touvn Manager, and the adminis4rative.staff in Section 6.4 which specifies:
"ftleither the Council,.i4s members, the Mayor nor any Council committee, shall dictate the appointment of any person to office by the T'own Manager, excep4 as
otherwise provided in this Charter, or in any way in4erfere with the Town Manager
or other Town officer 4o preven4 him from exercising his judgment in the
appointment or employmenf of officers and employees in the administrative
service. Except-for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its members, the
_ Mayor, and any Council committee shall deal -with the adminis4rative service solely
through the 1'own Manager, and neither the Council, its members, the AAayor, nor
any Council committee fhereof, shall give orders to any of the subordinates ofi the
Town Manager."

V. Detega4lon of PowePS.
. A legislative body like the Town Council cannot delegate the povver 4o make a law,
which necessarily involves the discretion aS to what the law shall be, bu4 it caR
con9er upon others the powrer to execute the lawr or 4o determine some facfi or
state of 4hings to effectuate the purpose of the law. The Town of Vail, like most
municipalities, has delega4ed certain powers fo certain commissions and boards. Mosf of the commissions established by the Town Council are strictly advisory,
however, there are finro permanent agencies - the Planning and Environmental
Commission and the Design Review Board - which have been given somewhat
more than an advisory role by the Touvn Council. The major delegated duties of
the Planning and Environmental Commission. are: approval or denial ofi major or
minor subdivisions in accordance uvith Title 17 of the Code, granting or denying
variances in accordance with Chapter 18.62 of the Code, and granting or denying
conditional use permits in accordance with Chapter 18.60 of the Code. The
decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission is fiinal in regard to these
matters unless an item is appealed to the Town Council or called up by the Towrn
Council itself.
The Planning and Environmental Commission also is delegated two important
advisory roles by the Municipal Code. It makes recommendations 40 the Town
Council on all applications for amendments 40 the Town zoning ordinances, and
it adopts master plans and amendments thereto for approval by the Town Council.
Upon receiving recommenda4ions from the Planning and Environmental
Commission in these areas,.4he Town Council should of course carefully review
and consider the Planning and Environmental Commission's recommendations, but
the Town Council is in no way bound by them.
The Design Review Board is given the power, by Chapter 98.54, to approve or
deny the design of structures to be built within the Town and, by Chapter 16, to
approve or deny the design of signs to be placed wi4hin the Touvn. The decisions
. o# the Design Review Board in these tvvo areas is final unless the matter is
appealed or called up by the Town Council. The Design Review Board also
recommends 40 the Town Council whe4her or not to approve sign code variances.
(This is confusing because variances granted by the Planning and Environmental
Commission rela4ing 4o zoning matters are no4 advisory while variances to the sign
code acted upon by the D.esign Review Board are.) Again, as is the case wi4h
, matters which the Planning and Environmental Commission acts in and advisory
capacity, recommendations of the Design Review Board in the area of sign code
variances sFiould be carefully considered, bu4 4hey are nof binding on Tovun
Council action.

@!8. Confiic4 o9 Bnterest In Land Use Decislons.
Case and statutory law has been inconsistent in a number of ways in addressing
conflicts of interest in land use decisions. Courts have difficulty in determining
whether conflicts of interest are a proper subject of judicial review. If a court finds
a land use decision contaminated by bias or prejudice rather than financial conflict
of interest, the Court is less likely to find the decision to be a proper subjecf ior
judicial review. Statues of the State of Colorado and ordinances of the Town and
the Charter of the Town are directed at controlling financial conflicts of interest
rather than bias or prejudice. However, the line between the two is a hazy one.
Typical confilicts of interest situations involve decision makers who will personally
incur a fiinancial loss or gain because of the decision or who have a personal or
business relafiionship, often employment, wi4h one who will gain or lose financially
because of the decision. Situations involving decision makers who have publicly
sfiated a position on a matter prior 4o a hearing, or who have had contact outside
the proceedings, with a party or wrho have some relationship with a party or one
of the lawyers, witnesses or organizations involved are usually said to involve bias
or prejudice. In bias situations the question a Court must decide is at what point
is an interested party deprived of a fair hearing befiore impartial decision makers.
In deciding if a land use decision involving bias or prejudice is the proper subject
of judicial review, the Courts musf make a very difficult decision - whether the land
use decision is legislafive or judicial in nature. Colorado Courts have held fhat
when a governing body adopts a general zoning ordinance or a land use plan this
action affects an open class of individuals, is general in nature and the Court will
not inquire in4o the motives behind the legislation. The Courts have held that in
such si4ua4ions, legislators are acfing in a legislative manner, are responsible to
the electora4e, and fhat attempts 4o influence legislation are a part of our form of
government. . In addition, Courts have held thafi if the proceedings are legislative
in nature, any rights of procedural due process are minimal and the Courts have
a reduced interest in the need of a hearing before an impartial tribunal.
At the other end ofi the spectrum are decisions that directly affect the interes4s of
a particular applicant such conditional use permits, variances, and rezonings.
Hearings on such matters have been characterized by Colorado Courts as quasi-
judicial and the Courts have not only looked at financial conflicts of interest, bufi
also at the bias or prejudice of the individuals making the decisions. In such
situa4ions, Colorado Courts have recognized the existence of a right to a hearing before an impartial 4ribunal.
In situations where 4here are financial conflicts of interes4, it is clear that a Vail
, Councilmember must disqualify himself. In situations where bias or prejudice may
be presenfi, the decision whether to vote or not is a much more difficulf one.
Before a Councilmember makes the decision whether fio vote or not, he should
consider fhe.fact tha4 in a quasi-judicial hearing, so long as parties and witnesses
are given an opportunity 4o be heard, the record provides the reasons 4o support
any given actions, and a Court cannot show arbitrary, capricious, or illegal actions
or bad faith or bias, the action of the Council is going to be upheld in Court.
14
Should an in4eresfed party be able 4o prove bias or prejudice on the part of a
Councilmember, he may be able to overtum a quasi-judicial decision of the Town
Council in a Court of lavu. In an ex4reme case, an interest party who is deprived
of procedural due process because of bias or prejudice on 4he part of a
Councilmember at a quasi judicial hearing may be able to collect substantial
damages in a civil righfs proceeding.

Attached is a Vested Right Ordinance setting forth how dested development rights
are obtained in the Town of Vail.
The state ves4ed rights statute provides thafi a vested property right is deemed
established upon approval or oonditional approval of a site specific development
plan following public notice and hearing. The vested right runs with the property
and gives the owner the right 4o undertake and complete any approved
developmen4. The sta4e statute defines a"si4e specific development plan" as "a
plan which has been submit4ed to a local government by a land owner or its
representative describing with reasonable certainty the type and in4ensity of use
9or a single parcel- or parcels or property." lAlhafi constitufies a site specific
development plan under the sfia4e sta4ute which would trigger a vested property
righ4 is allouved by the sta4ute to be determined by a municipal govemment.
In the Towrn ofi !lail ordinance, a site specific development plan is limited fio only
major and minor subdivisions and Special Development District developmenf permits. 14 was the decision of the staff that neither design review nor the
condiYional use process is the 4ype of process which commits developers to
expend large amounts of money in reliance upon developmen4 approvals granted
by the Towrn. Ttie state s4a4ute itself specifies that variances, sketch plans, and
preliminary plans are not site specific developmen4 plans.
The vesfed property right which is creafed by the approval of a special
devefopment district or a major or minor subdivision shall extend for a period of
fhree years subsequenf to its approval. The state statute provides that before a
vested righf can be esfablished, fhere must be a public notice and hearing
provided. This ordinance allows the hearing #or the vesting of development rights
4o take place simulfaneously with the final hearing for suksdivision approval or
special development district approval. ,4 fee is charged to the property owner for
the acfiual cost of the required staff, 4ime, and publication expenses, or, in the
alternative, the staff may charge a set fee ofi $100.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development and Public VVorks Departments
DATE: fVovember 27, 1995
RE: A request for an amendment to Chapter 18.39 of the Vail Municipal Code (Ski
Base/Recreation Zone District), and an amendment to the previously approved
development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base, 485 Vail Valley Drive/Tract F,
Vail Village 5th Filing and Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing.
Applicant: Vail Associates, Inc., represented by David Corbin
Planners: Jim Curnutte and Lauren UVaterton
V. INTRODIYCTlON
~ Vail Associates, Inc. has requested approval of an amendment to Chapter 18.39 of the Vail
Niunicipal Code (Ski Base/Recreation Zone District) and an amendment to the previously
approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base property located at 485 Vail Valley
Drive/Tract F, Vail Village 5th Filing and Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing.
The Golden Peak Ski Base is located in the Ski Base/Recreation zone district and is the only
property within the Town of Vail vuhich has this zoning designation. Ski Base/Recreation is a
very unique zoning designation, however, it does have similarities to the Special Development
District (SDD) and the General Use (GU) zone districts. The zoning parameters allowed within
these districts are very closely tied to a"development plan", which is reviewed and approved
along with the proposed text of the zone district provisions. Therefore, it is important to note that
the reviewr of the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment application is twofold, and includes:
(a) Zoning Code text revisions, and (b) Revisions to the previously approved Development Plan.
A. Proposed Zoning Code Text Revisions
The applicant is proposing to make minor amendments to the text of Chapter 18.39 of the
Vail Municipal Code (Ski Base/Recreation Zone District) to reflect the proposed
amendments to the previously approved development plan. Rather than provide a
detailed explanation of all the proposed text changes in this memorandum, staff requests
that the PEC members review Attachment # 1, in which the proposed changes are clearly
identified. The text proposed to be deleted from the District has a line through it and the
text uvhich is proposed to be added to the district is in bold.

B. Proposed Revisions to the Previously Approved Development Plan ~
1. verview
Chapter 18.39.090(A) (Development Plan Required) of the Ski Base/Recreation Zone
District states:
"To ensure the unified development, the protection of the natural environment, the
compatibility with the surrounding area and to assure that development in the ski
base/recreation district will meet the intent of the district, a development plan shall .
be required."
The approved development plan shall be used as the principal guide for all development
within the Ski Base/Recreation District. Amendments to the plan which do not change its
substance may be approved by the PEC at a regularly scheduled public hearing. The
changes to the previously approved plan currently being proposed by the applicant are
considered to be substantive and, therefore, require PEC, Town Council and DRB review.
There are significant transportation/circulation and parking issues and opportunities
associated with the proposed redevelopment of the Golden Peak Ski Base. The interface
between and among Town of Vail buses, private shuttles and vans, private vehicles and
pedestrians must be carefully reviewed. The challenge is to accomrnodate the variety
of sometimes conflictirug uses and users in the most safe and efficient manner
possible, taking into account the interests of the neighborhood.
To understand and meet the transportation/circulation and parking needs, associated with ~
the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment, Vail Associates has hired TDA, Inc. of Denver
(a transportation planning firm) to conduct an analysis of the transportation operating
characteristics of the Golden Peak Ski Base. This analysis identifies the number of
skiers arriving by the various modes of transportation, documents existing access and
circulation conditions, provides future design day arrival volumes, and presents an
operations plan to insure appropriate use of the facility and minimal traffic congestion.
Vail Associates has also hired RRC, Associates of Boulder (a research, planning and
design firm) to perform a Golden Peak Ski Base portal analysis and facility survey. This
survey polled 527 skiers regarding information relating to their current and expected uses
of the Golden Peak Ski Base facilities. A copy of the complete TDA and RRC reports are
contained in the original application notebooks previously provided to the PEC and Town
Council members. A summary of the information contained in those reports, however,
can be found as Attachment #2 to this memorandum.
Vail Associates proposes to alleviate vehicular and pedestrian congestion now
experienced on and around the property by (1) formalizing and improving the
general skier drop-off, (2) reducing vehicular traffic with the removal of the present
public parking lot and by "managing" the on-site parking, (3) designing the
Children's Center drop-off area, and (4) making improvements to the major
pedestrian ways leading to the site.

~ The major elements of the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment plan are
identified as follows: (see Attachment #3 for site plans, building floor plans and elevation
drawings and other drawings associated with the redevelopment project).
o The existing Golden Peak Ski Base facility is proposed to be replaced with a new base
Bodge buiBdung of 82,779 sq. ft., in virtually the same location as the existing building and
the building approved in conjunction with the 1985 redevelopment plan. (Please see
Section II of this memorandum (Background) for a more detailed description of the
previously approved 1985 redevelopment plan).
The proposed program for the new base lodge building includes employee lockers and
office space, meeting room areas, public restrooms and lockers, condominium parking
spaces and a private club on the lower level of the building.
The second level of the building (which is the first level on the mountain side of the
building, due to a grade differential) is comprised of retail space, a restaurant, and
ticketing/ski school facilities. The third and fourth levels of the building are devoted to six
residential condominiums. A more detailed breakdown of the square footage calculations
of the proposed building, in comparison to the 1985 approved plan, is provided on the
page followring the Zoning Analysis.
The proposetl uses Bn the base 9odge build6ng are virtualEy the sarne as the uses
reviewed and approved in 1985. The square footage allocated to each of these
~ uses, wBth 4he excep4ion of restaurant and empioyee locker room space, has
sagnifacant9y 6ncreasedl. The buolding square footage proposec9 for approvaB writh this
redeveDopment pEan os approxirnately 17,629 sq. ft., or 27% larger than the 1985
aPproval.
o The exasting 950-space surface parking lot, which is currently open 4o the public for
a fee, is proposed go be removed and replaced with a 148-space "managed" parkang
straacturee This structure is proposed to be approximately 64,800 sq. ft. in size and is
substantially buried into the hillside where the tennis courts are currently located. With
the exception of the vehicular opening on the northwest corner and the pedestrian access
on the northeast corner, the structure will not be visible.
In response to neighborhood concerns regarding traffic congestion in the neighborhood,
. Vait Associates has proposed a managed, or "reserved right-to-park," mechanism that is
designed to control the availability and use of parking spaces in the structure. This
mechanism, wrhich will be offered to the public, is a non-equity "club" or association of up
to 500 members, uuho uvould have the right to park in this structure for a fee. Two tiers of
membership in this association are proposed. The first tier would consist of 50 members
wrho would have a right to park in the structure in an identified reserved parking space.
These first tier members would also have the right to use the club facilities located within
the lower level of the base lodge facility. This club includes Iockers, locker roorn facilities,
ski valet, ticketing, and other amenities. The remaining 98 parking spaces would be sold
to second toer members, uvho would have the right to park in the structure based upon a
controlled reservation system. Second tier memberships would be sold at a 2:1 ratio,
however, if demand uvarrants, additional subscriptions may be offered up to a ratio of
~ 4.5:1, or approximately 450 tier tvvo members. Second tier members uvould also have the
right to use the club facilities. These members uvould be required to call a minimum of 24
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
4
`
hours in advance to reserve their use of an available space. A reservation list would be
compiled daily for use by Vail Associates personnel stationed in the attendant booth at ~
the entry to the structure.
In the event that not all of the 98 second tier parking spaces are reserved on a given day
by the club members, Vail Associates reserves the right to utilize these spaces for other
guests, members of the skiing public, employees or other persons who could call and
reserve a space less than 24 hours in advance. This provision in the operational
structure of the club would allow full, or nearly full, utilization of at least 98 of the 148
parking spaces in the structure. Members of the general public would be able to reserve
a second tier parking space but will not have the right to utilize club amenities.
See the Golden Peak Operational Management Plan, Attachment # 4, for a more
complete explanation of the proposed parking structure management.
Although the applicant has indicated that they intend to construct the parking structure
and all improvements on the Golden Peak property during the same construction season
it is possible that, due to lack of sufficient pre-sales, the parking structure may not be built
at all or may be delayed one construction season. Vail Associates has indicated that if
the parking structure is not constructed, the area where it was intended to be located
would be regraded and revegetated and a discussion would occur with the Town Council
regarding their obligation to pay parking pay-in-lieu fees for the loss of public parking that
would result.
• The four existing tennas courts at the Golden Peak area are proposed to be removed in
conjunction with this redevelopment proposal. An agreement has been reached between ~
the Vail Recreation District (VRD) and Vail Associates that calls for a cash payment to be
provided by V.A. in order to cover the cost of relocation, resurfacing and construction of
new court(s) elsewhere in the Town of Vail. The number and location of the courts will be
determined by the VRD, with Ford Park being considered as the possible new location.
The 1985 approved development plan contemplated the possible relocation of one tennis
court to the Chalet Road right-of-way. It is the intention of the VRD to leave the existing
tennis courts next to Chalet Road, but not to expand the tennis program at that site.
Therefore, no additional courts have been proposed in the Chalet Road right-of-way.
e Both ski lifts 6 and 12 are proposed for replacement as a part of this redevelopment
plan. Chair 6 is currently a double chair with an hourly capacity of 1,130 skiers per hour.
It is proposed for replacement with a detachable quad chair lift with an hourly capacity of
2,250 skiers per hour. Chair 6 will be redesigned to allow skiers to unload at a midpoint
on the top of Golden Peak, or to continue on to the top terminal located near the base of
Chair 11. In the future, Chair 10 will be realigned and extended, ultimately enabling
skiers to ride a 6 to 10 connection to the Two Elk Restaurant and China Bowl.
The new plan calls for the lower terminal of Chair 6 to be relocated approximately 30' to
the east. This will cause the lift alignment to shift from its current location, and will
necessitate the removal of additional trees in the area. The lower terminal is proposed to
be of a similar design as the lower terminal of the Vista Bahn. The color of the terminal
housing, however, is proposed to be green rather than blue. The lift operator building will
also be replaced, and relocated to the east side of the terminal. It is intended that this
building will accommodate overnight ski storage and a bus shelter in addition to its
function as a lift operator building. ~
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27

The existing Chair 12 is currently a double chair with an hourly capacity of 960 skiers per
~ hour. The proposed replacement chair will be a fixed grip, low profile, triple chair, with a
sfow loading speed to assist in the instruction of children and first time skiers. This lift is
proposed to have an hourly capacity of 1,500 skiers per hour. The base of Chair 12 will
remain near its present location. However, the upper terminal of the lift will shift
approximately 230 feet to the west and will be 50 feet lower in elevation. This relocation
allov?rs for less interference with other skiers and provides easier terrain for beginners.
The nevu alignment is proposed to be located through an existing stand of trees, some of
which may need to be removed. Similar to Chair 6, a new lift operator buifding is
proposed near the lower terminal. The existing lift operator building also functions as a,
locker roorn for lift attendants that are based out of Golden Peak. The new plan calls for
these employee lockers to be relocated to the basement of the new base lodge building.
In addition to the replacement of Chairs 6 and 12, the applicant is proposing to relocate the "poma" lift from its current location on the west side of Chair 12 to the Chitdren's
Center area. The lift will service the practice area for the Children's Ski School, as well
as provide ski-in/ski-out opportunity for the residents at fVorthwoods Condominiums and
Pirios Del iVorte to the east. Some regrading is proposed in this area, but there vuill be no
loss of vegetation.
o There are currently 21 head-in parking spaces located immediately west of the
Chi9dren's Cen4ero The proposed redevelopment plan includes a total of 30 short -term
spaces located on the inside curve of the expanded bus drop-off lane. Although Vail
Associates' traffic consultant recommended the addition of 12 to 15 parking spaces to the
21 existing spaces, which would provide a total of 33 - 36 spaces, it appears that site
. limitations are such that 30 spaces are all that can be provided. The bus lane will remain
on the east side of the Golden Peak properry between the new base lodge and the
Children's Center. The separated bus lane is proposed to be much longer than it is
currently, accommodating the turning radius requirements of the Town of Vail's new
longer buses.
o The general public skier drop-offi zone, which is currently located on the eastern portion
of the site, has been expanded and relocated to the north side of the new base lodge
building and parking structure. This area has been designed to accommodate 29
vehicles. 23 of the spaces are depicted on the site plan as angled drop-off spaces, with
the remaining 6 being parallel drop-off spaces, thereby maintaining a continuous flouv of
vehicles through the area.
In the center portion of the skier drop-off zone, one 9oadirag and delivery berth has been
provided into an area between the base lodge building and the proposed parking
structure.
The ent¢ance go the sux resBdenaBal condorniniusns is located on the far eastern end of
the general public skier drop-off zone. The entry courtyard is gated and surrounded by a
privacy wall and landscaping. Two guest parking spaces, a sidewalk and the driveway
leading to the residential parking structure are located inside the courtyard area.
o VaeB !/a99ey Drade as ppoposed to be realigned to allow for an improved intersection at
the existing Manor Vail entrance, as well as to straighten out curves in the road, in order
to improve sight distances.

• Several pedestrian and bicycle connections leading to, and around, the Gotden Peak
Ski Base are proposed for improvement in conjunction with this redevelopment plan. On- ~
site pedestrian and bicycle path improvements are depicted on the various site plans and
off-site streetscape improvements are described in more detail later in this memorandum.
Upon final approval of the development plan, cross-easements will be entered into
between Vail Associates and the Town of Vail to assure the unrestricted use of the public
areas in and around the Golden Peak base area.
• In an effort to provide more detailed information regarding how the various elements of
the Golden Peak Ski Base facility will be operated, the applicant has submitted the
"Golden Peak Operational Management Plan" for PEC review. This plan is a
supplement to the various development plans that have been presented in conjunction
with the redevelopment application (see Attachment # 4). The plan is also an outgrowth
of the Growth Management Agreement between the Town of Vail and Vail Associates,
which is intended to manage peak periods within Vail. Like the Growth Management
Agreement, the proposed Golden Peak Operational Management Plan is a means of
_ managing the demands upon the Golden Peak portal and the impacts on surrounding
infrastructure. The Management Plan provides varying operational techniques,
depending on the period of the year. There are three different periods that have been
identified: Christmas Peak, which are the days between December 26th and December
31 st; High Season, which includes PresidenYs weekend and each weekend beginning the
third weekend in February through the end of March; and non-peak, which are the days
outside of the two above-mentioned periods.
tt is important to note that the design day standard for Golden Peak planning studies
and infrastructure assessrnent is 15,000 skiers at one time ("SAOT"), which is a typical ~
day count for the current Christmas peak period. The physical infrastructure currently
proposed is designed to accommodate the portal demands at a 15,000 SAOT event.
As recommended by staff, the components or elements which are identified in the
Operational Management Plan for Golden Peak, include the following:
A. Managed parking structure;
B. Public skier and Children's Center drop-off areas;
C. Employee parking;
D. Mountain operations;
E. Local and community programs, such as DEVO;
F. Ski Club Vail activities;
G. Adult and children's ski school;
H. Loading, delivery and trash removal;
1. Snow management; and
J. Special events.
• The Mill Creek Diversion, a branch of the Mill Creek main channel used to divert
excessive stream flows, runs through the Golden Peak property. A portion of this
diversion, from Chair 6 to the north side of Vail Valley Drive, is currently in an
underground culvert. The applicant is proposing to extend and bury the culvert an
additional 370 feet to the west. This extension is necessitated by the regrading of the
lower sections of the ski runs that end at Golden Peak. Staff has received a letter from
the Colorado Division of Wildlife stating that they have no objections to the culverting of
this section of Mill Creek. The applicant has also been working with the Army Corps of ~
Engineers to obtain approval of the undergrounding. Staff believes that the proposed
culvert extension will not adversely impact this site. Alpine Engineering Inc. has designed
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
7
the extended culvert to accommodate, the proposed undergrounding without increasing
~ the 100 and 500-year flood potential on surrounding properties.,
o Currently, there are tvuo race course lanes at Golden Peak. These race courses are
used for the Ski Club Vail program, amateur racing and private races for groups visiting
Vail. The proposed redevelopment increases the number of race course lanes to three,
vuith the ability to have four when demand is high. A new building is proposed to be
located at the base of the race course. This building is intended to be used for the
operations of the races, including public address and timing. The building is proposed to
be located approximately 130 feet to the south of the new base lodge facility. The three
existing buildings, located near the race course, are currently used for storage associated
with the race lanes and are proposed to be removed. The new lift operator buildings and
the race finish building wrill provide storage for race events.

In 1983, a nevu zone district, Ski Base/Recreation, uvas created in order to allowr the Golden Peak
Ski Base facility to be rezoned from Agricultural and Open Space to Ski Base/Recreation. As a
part of the rezoning process, a development plan for the site was required. In late 1983, the
Town Council approved a development plan for the Golden Peak ski base. The concept of that
development plan vuas to retain all the uses in one main building. The existing building was to be
removed and a neuv building uvas to be constructed in the same general location as the existing
building.
The plan included a new base facility containing: public lockers, employee lockers, condominium
~ parking, retail, and a nursery on the first level. A restaurant, Ski School and Children's Center
was located on the second level. As with the current proposal, the 3rd and 4th levels were
dedicated to six residential condominiums. There were also improvements to the parking, tennis
courts, and bus turnaround. Amendments to that plan were approved. by the PEC on January 7,
1985 and final Design Review Board approval was granted on January 30, 1985. This plan has
never been fully implemented.
At the same time that this development plan was approved by the Town, Vail Associates signed
a declaration of protective covenant with the neighborhood. Any additions or modifications to this
covenant requires a vote of approval from the owners of 75% of the "benefitted land" (the Golden
Peak Neighborhood Association).
Since the initial approval, Vail Associates has requested several amendments to the approved
development plan. Listed below are the amendments that have been granted:
1) On July 2, 1985, the Touvn approved an "interim" development plan for Golden Peak. At
that time, Vail Associates did not wish to fully complete the development plan that had
been approved earlier in the year. The approval for the interim plan lapsed after two
years. The interim plan contained the following: _
A. A new modular building, adjacent to the existing wrinter-time modular, for day-care
purposes (for children ranging in age from infant to 3 years old).
B. A revised parking lot configuration accommodating 103 paid, public parking
spaces, 20 Vail Associates staff spaces and 18 parent drop-off spaces.
C. A new set of stairs, near the existing drop-off area, leading to the bike path west
of the modular buildings.
fAeveryone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
8
D. A revised landscape plan including berming on the east end of the parking lot and
five additional spruce trees north of the modular units. ~
E. An interior remodel of the existing buildings to improve employee working
conditions and to add space to the rental shop.
2) In February 1988, the PEC and the Town Council approved the Golden Peak Children's
Center. The Town Council approved Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1988, and amended the
Ski Base/ Recreation Zone District to allow for the Children's Center in this zone district.
The approval allowed for the separation of the children's ski school program, and child
care, from the main building. This approval also allowed for the removal of the existing
modular building that had been used for several years by the Ski School.
3) On September 14, 1992, the PEC approved an amendment to the development plan to
alfow for the addition of two ski tows, located adjacent to the Golden Peak facility (the
magic carpet and the poma lift).
4) In_ July 1993, the PEC approved an amendment to the development plan to allow for new
restrooms and locker rooms, attached to the northwest corner of the existing building.
These buildings were constructed as approved.
Since May 1995, when Vai1 Associates submitted the application for an amendment to the
approved development plan and an amendment to the text to the Ski Base/Recreation Zone
District, there have been many meetings with the PEC, Town Council and staff. The following
information is intended to provide a summary of the discussions that have occurred.
A joint worksession with the Vail Town Council and the PEC was held on June 12, 1995. The ~
purpose of the worksession was to provide an overview of the project to the public and the board
members, as well as to discuss and provide direction to the applicant regarding the Town's
position on a number of "policy issues" related to the proposed redevelopment project. The
issues discussed at the worksession included:
A. Transportation/Circulation and Parking
1. Privatized Parking Structure;
2. Employee Parking;
3. Skier and Children's Center Drop-Off/Pick- Up Areas;
4. Roadway/Pedestrian Improvements;
B. Neighborhood Issues;
C. Employee Housing; and
D. Review Schedule.
At a Vail Town Council worksession on July 11, 1995, the Council discussed and resolved a
number of the larger policy issues related to the Golden Peak redevelopment application, and the
surrounding neighborhood. The issues discussed included:
A. Implementation of the Streetscape Master Plan;
B. Making Vail Valley Drive a one-way street;
C. Primary modes of access to the new facility;
D. The loss of public parking; ~
E. Employee parking; and
F. Possible parking structure at Ford Park.
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27

• At the end of this meeting it was suggested that joint working meetings be held with the
applicant, the applicanYs consulting team, neighborhood representatives and Town staff for the
purposes of clarifying and resolving technical issues related to the project. Five joint working
meetings held throughout the months of July and August (1995) included discussions of the
following topics:
',4. Pedestrian connections, including implementation of the Streetscape Master Plan;
B. Vehicular entrance to the residential units;
C. Design of the Children's Center and General Skier drop-off zones;
D. iVianaged parking structure;
E. Outline of Operational Management Plan concepts;
F. Design of soccer field parking structure;
G. Building architecture, mass and bulk and, roof form; and
H. Project review schedule.
On September 11, 1995 a uvorksession vuas held with the PEC for the purpose of updating the
public and PEC members on the revisions which had been made to the project since the last
public meeting (July 11, 1995). Issues discussed at this vuorksession included:
A. On-mountain improvements
1. Lift alignments
2. Mountain regrading
3. Race course
4. Mill. Creek diversion culvert extension
~ 5. Debris flow study
6. Bike paths and hiking trails
B. Base facility site planning
1. Pedestrian and vehicular circulation
2. Landscape plan
3. Grading plan
4. Snow management plan
5. Building massing and roof form
A joint wrorksession uvas held on October 9, 1995 with the PEC and the Design Review Board for
the purpose of discussing the architecture of the proposed base lodge and employee housing.
On October 23, 1995 a final worksession was held with the PEC to discussion the Streetscape
improvements planned for Vail Valley Drive, from the Village Transportation Center to the
Children's Center. The PEC also gave the applicant feedback on the proposed Operational
Management Plan.
Staff memoranda and minutes for the meetings described above are on file at the Office of the
Department of Community Development.

IV. CRITERIA TO BE USED IN EVALUATING THIS PROPOSAL
The following criteria and findings shall be used in the evaluation of the propased zone change ~
request (text amendments to Chapter 18.39-Ski Base/Recreation Zone District) and amendment
to the previously approved development plan.
A. Zone Change Criteria.
1. Suitability of the proposed zoning.
Staff Response•
The proposed amendments to the existing text of the Ski Base/Recreation Zone District
are consistent with the purpose statement of the district and the permitted and conditional
uses currently allowed. The uses on the first and second levels of the building are uses
generally found in a ski mountain base facility. These uses include a restaurant, ski
lockers, retail, meeting room/restaurant overflow, ticket saies, ski school and employee
lockers. The applicant is requesting the additional use of a private club, serving as a
private locker room and ski valet for its members. This use is similar to the other uses in
the building and therefore, staff believes it is suitable. The applicant is also requesting
that "indoor and outdoor ski storage" be added to the list of permitted uses for the site.
This will allow for overnight ski storage at the bus shelter and other potential locations
near the chair lift.
2. Is the amendment proposal presenting a convenBent, workable relationship
among land uses consistent with municipal objectives? ~
Staff Response:
Staff has reviewed the existing and proposed permitted and conditional uses in the Ski
Base Recreation Zone District and believe that these uses are consistent with adjacent
land uses and municipal objectives. The text changes being proposed by the applicant .
are minimal in nature and are simply intended to clarify and bring the text language up-to-
date with today's standards.
3. Does the rezoning proposal provide for the growth of an orderlv and viable
community?
Staff Response:
It is staff's opinion that the most significant element of the proposed text changes is the
revision of the submittal requirements and the requirement of a new, or amended,
development plan application. Bringing this language up-to-date with today's standards
assures that more complete and accurate information will be provided for review by the
Town staff and boards and the community.
Vail Associates has been meeting with representatives of the East Village Homeowners
Association for well over a year. Staff believes that this extra effort with the
neighborhood has assured that the proposed application provides a convenient, workable
retationship among land uses.

4. ~S $he pPOpOSed PegOP9ln9 C0nS9S4@P1t NYIYh $Ile VaII Land USe PIaP9?
~ Staff R@SF30nSe:
Staff believes that the proposed text revisions to the Ski Base\ Recreation Zone District
are consistent with the Vail Land Use Plan. The proposed changes do not alter the basic
intent of 4he existing Ski Base/Recreation Zone District, which is in compliance vuith the
Land Use Plan.
B. Conformance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
Staff has evaluated the proposal for compliance with the applicable elements of the Town of Vail
Comprehensive Plan, including:
1. VaaV Land ~se P@an
Staff believes the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment would carry out the
following goals identified in the Vail Land Use Plan:
Goal 1.1 Vail should continue to growr in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and permanent resident.
Goal 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
~ Goal 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while
accommodating day visitors. .
Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should
work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function
rnore efficiently.
Goal 2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should
work together to improve facilities for day skiers.
Goal 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational and cultural
opportunities to encourage summer tourism.
Goal 2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational options to improve
year-round tourism.
Goal 2.8 Day skier needs for parking and access should be accommodated through
creative solutions such as:
a) increased busing from out of town;
b) expanded points of access to the mountain by adding
additional base portals;
c) continuing to provide temporary surface parking; and
d) addition of structured parking.

2. Vail Village Master Plan
While Golden Peak may not always be considered to be a part of the Village, it is ~
included in the Vail Village Master Plan. The goals for Vail Village are summarized in six
major goal statements. Each major goal focuses on a particular aspect of the Village
community (promote healthy economy, environmental protection, etc.). Staff has listed
each goal and the applicable objectives and policies that appear to be addressed by the
proposed Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment.
Goal 1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique
architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community
and identity.
1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential
and commercial facilities.
Goal 2 To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic
health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole.
2.1 Objective: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 10 sub-
areas throughout the Village and allow for development ihat
is compatible with these established land use patterns.
2.5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and
maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to
better serve the needs of our guests. ~
2.5.1 Policy: Recreational amenities, common areas, meeting facilities
and other amenities shall be preserved and enhanced as a
part of any redevelopment of lodging properties.
Goal 3 To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience
throughout the Village.
3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by
landscaping and other improvements.
3.1.1 Policy: Private development shall incorporate streetscape
improvements (such as paver treatments, landscaping,
lighting and seating areas), along adjacent pedestrian
ways.
3.4 Objective: Develop additional sidewalks, pedestrian-only walkways
and accessible greenspace areas, including pocket parks
and stream access.
3.4.2 Policy: Private development projects shall be required to
incorporate new sidewalks along streets adjacent to the
project as designated in the Vail Village Master Plan and/or
the Recreation Trails Master Plan. •
Goal 4 To preserve existing open space areas and expand greenspace
opportunities.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
15
4.1 Objective: Improve existing open space areas and create new plazas
~ with greenspace and pocket parks. Recognize the different
roles of each type of open space in forming the overall
fabric of the Village.
Goal 5 Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics of the
transportation and circulation system throughout the Village.
5.1 Objective: Meet parking demands with public and private parking
facilities.
5.1.5 Policy: Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to
provide underground or visually concealed parking.
5.2 Objective: Encourage the use of public transportation to minimize the
use of private automobiles throughout Vail.
5.4 Objective: Improve the streeetscape of circulation corridors throughout
the Village.
Goal 6 To ensure the continued improvement of the vital operational elements of
the Village.
6.1 Objective: Provide service and delivery facilities for existing and newr
development.
i Golden Peak is one of the 10 subareas identified in the Vail Village Master Plan. The
specific concepts that describe the Golden Peak area serve as advisory guidelines for
future land use decisions by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town
Council. The Niaster Plan recognizes that the site will redevelop, given the approval of the
1985 redevelopment plan, with the statement: "Redevelopment uvill attract additional
traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon portions of
Sub-Areas 6(East Gore Creek) and 7(East Village)."
Staff believes the following concepts for the Golden Peak sub-area are carried out with
this proposal:
T~nnus courts ampacged by the recievelopment shall be relocated in the area (or Bn
Ford Park)e
The proposed redevelopment calls for the removal of the four tennis courts, which are
currently located on the site. The tennis courts are operated by the Vail Recreation
District (VRD) under the terms of a long-term land lease vuith VA. The VRD has agreed to
release VA from the lease for monetary compensation, wrhich the VRD will use to
refurbish the existing courts at Ford Park. The VRD may also add one additional tennis
court at the Ford Park complex.
Commercaa9 actevuty at $his sBte shoaaBd be 9smited 40 "sk6 base/recreationa&°" asses.
All commercial activity allowed in the Ski Base/Recreation Zone District, and proposed
~ with the redevelopment plan, is limited to "ski base/recreational" uses.
f:\everyone\pecMemos\gpeak.n27 16
Additional parking for aroy facilities to be provided on site.
Although the revised development plan wiH provide more total parking spaces than ~
currently exist on the site (short-term and long-term), which were approved with the 1985
plan, the spaces will not all be availabte to the public on a daily basis. As mentioned
previously, if there are not sufficient pre-sales of club memberships, the 148 space
parking structure may not be constructed. If this happens, the applicant has indicated
that they will pay a parking pay-in-lieu fee to compensate for the loss of public parking
that will result.
Existing covenant restrictions in this sub-area would need to be addressed to allow
for development.
The restrictive covenants, entered into between VA and (generally) the East Village
~ Homeowners Association at the time of the 1985 plan, control where and how
development can occur on this property. The Association's consultant has been involved
in the development of this plan from its beginnings and has not expressed any concerns
with regard to the proposal's non-compliance.
Pedestrian improvements, such as sidewalks, are important to connect thos sub-
area to Ford Park and the soccer field.
There is currently a sidewalk connecting Golden Peak through the Manor Vail property to
Ford Park. This sidewalk connects to a path in Ford Park, however this path does not
connect directly to the Ford Park parking area. The applicant is not proposing any
improvements which would extend the pedestrian system directly to the Ford Park ~
parking area. Additionally, the applicant is not proposing to extend the sidewalk along
Vail Valley Drive from the Children's Center to the soccer field parking area.
Redevelopment of the Golden Peak base facility shall be low profiee (2-3 stories) to
minimize impacts on views to Vail Mountain.
Although the Vail Village Master Plan recommends a building of not more than three
stories, the maximum building height allowed by zoning (up to 40 feet) will allow for a four
story building. The proposed base facility is four stories. While the building does
conform to the maximum height requirements as defined by the zoning code, it does not
comply with the sub-area concept of being low profile (2-3 stories).
3. TransQOrtation Master Plan '
The Vail Transportation Master Plan, adopted in 1993, focused on all forms of
transportation and developed a long-range implementation strategy for the transportation
programs. The Plan is intended to guide the Town's decision-makers in developing a
coordinated approach to implementing transportation improvements. The broad
categories of the Plan that relate to Golden Peak include parking, the Town bus system,
and trail system interface.
The parking issue revolves around the parking supply and the parking demand.
The existing supply of parking is fairly constant from day-to-day, however, the
demand for parking varies, depending upon the season of the year, day of the
week and the time of the day. •
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
17
Based on the existing supply of parking, the parking demand overflows the
~ parking structures and thereby requires parking on the Frontage Road,
approximately six days per year. With the expansion of the ski mountain it is
anticipated that there will be an increased demand for parking. Given this
information, the following Master Plan goals are identified to meet the parking
demands in the future:
0 The Tovun has determined that overflow demand for parking is acceptable
15 days per year.
. 0 Travel demand management (through bus service, ride sharing, and price
controls) needs to be implemented to reduce parking demand.
0 Provide reasonably priced parking to serve the visitor and discounted
parking to serve the Vail resident and employee needs.
0 Provide limited premium service parking at a price commensurate with the
value provided.
0 Identify candidate expansion areas for additional public parking to
accommodate long-term demands associated with the potential ski area
expansion.
0 Retain the private parking supply as an important and needed element.
~ The long-range parking concepts contained in the Master Plan that aim to meet
the general parking demand include:
0 The existing Ford Park parking area should be considered for a possible
tnro-level parking facility with one level provided below existing grade.
0 The existing VUest Day Lot and the North Day Lot should also be
considered, in conjunction with Vail Associates, for a possible two-level
parking facility with one level partially depressed below existing grade.
0 The Golden Peak area, in particular the soccer/practice fields; the ski
school/practice area; and the tennis courts and parking lot should be
considered as potential parking expansion areas if the traffic impacts can
be mitigated.
4. Streetscape ARaster Plan
Improvements in and around the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment area are
included in the "East Village" sub-area of the Streetscape Master Plan. This sub-
area includes Vail Valley Drive, Hanson Ranch Road, East Gore Creek Drive and
East Meadouu Drive. The East Village sub-area is predominantly made up of
lodges and condominiums. Vehicular traffic is not restricted. The Golden Peak
Ski Base facility and the Children's Center are at the center of the sub-area and
are both major vehicular and pedestrian destinations.
The Streetscape Master Plan recommends that the primary goal for this area is to
provide an effective and safe pedestrian system, uuhile accommodating the
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
18
vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. The Plan recognizes that traffic along Vail
Valley Drive is very heavy throughout most of the year. It is especially heavy in ~
the morning and late afternoons during the ski season and evenings and
weekends during the summer months. Vail Associates Children's Center is a
major source of vehicular congestion during the winter season, with parents
dropping-off and picking-up children at the beginning and the end of each day.
The Master Plan points out that the roadways throughout the East Village area are
asphalt and are recommended to remain so. Concrete curb and gutter will be
needed on Vail Valley Drive. This will be an appropriate treatment given the
existing and proposed pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area. There is a
need for additional seating opportunities along the pedestrian system in the East
Village area. Landscape treatments that might be proposed as a part of the
Streetscape Master Plan will only address those areas where landscaping infill is
needed. Additional lighting will be necessary along Vail Valley Drive.
The streetscape improvement plan for the East Village focuses on the pedestrian
corridors adjacent to the asphalt roadway (see attachments 5 and 6, which are the
applicable maps from the Streetscape Master Plan). One of the Plan's goals is to
direct pedestrians to key destination points such as the Golden Peak Ski Base
facility, the Children's Center, Ford Park and the Ford Amphitheater, and the
Village Core. No major changes to the vehicular circulation system or roadway
are proposed for this sub-area.
The Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment proposal includes the implementation
of a number of elements identified in the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan ~
(see attachment # 7 for a copy of the ApplicanYs Pedestrian/Streetscape Upgrade
Plan). The recommended streetscape improvements for the East Village sub-area
are listed below (in bold), followed by a staff analysis of how the applicant's
proposal carries out, or does not carry out, the recommendations in the
Streetscape Master Plan. In addition to the improvements identified by Vail
Associates, staff will take a comprehensive view of all improvements needed to
address neighborhood concerns. These include roadway and pedestrian
improvements leading to the Golden Peak Ski Base, from Ford Park, the Village
path, the connection to the Vista Bahn, Chalet Road, the soccer field, etc.
Staff believes that the proposed redevelopment of the Golden Peak area
offers a unique opportunity for the neighborhood, and theTown as a whole,
to work together with Vail Associates to accomplish all of the
recommendatiorus suggested in the Streetscape IlAaster Plan. Therefore, staff
recommends that the applicanYs Streetscape Upgrade Plan, which will be
reviewed in conjunction with the Golden Peak Ski Base Redevelopment
application, address all of the recommendations for the East Village sub-area
(from the Vail Transportation Center to the Soccer Field), including various
connections with existing and proposed pedestrian systems. A discussion of
cost-sharing will be needed to establish each party's appropriate level of financial
responsibility (VA, Town of Vail, neighborhood).
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
The Plan recommends sidewalks on both sides of the street along Vail Valley ~
Drive, from Blue Cow Chute to the entry to Manor Vail. The west and south
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27

sade shouldl lbe a concrete uni$ paver walkway, eight to Qen feet wide and the
~ east andl nor4h side shouGd also be a concrete aanit paver sadewalk, feve to six
4eet wio]e.
Staff Analysis:
Vail Associates is proposing to construct an eight-foot wide concrete paver
walkdvay along the vuest and south sides of Vail Valley Drive. The walkway will be
reduced to six feet in front of the Golden Peak site, in order to provide as much
landscape buffering in front of the skier drop-off lot as possible. The applicant is
then proposing that the vualkuvay be further reduced in width to four feet along the
Children's Center drop-off lot. As requested by the Town, a walkway is shown on
the east and north sides of Vail Valley Drive, from the Gore Creek Bridge to.
Rarnshorn. However, Vail Associates has stated it is not proposing to be
responsible for improving this side of the street, as VA believes it is not directly
related to the Golden Peak Redevelopment Project. iVo improvements are shown
on the north side of Vail Valley Drive from Ramshorn to the Manor Vail entry, as
suggested in the Streetscape Master Plan.
Although the Streetscape Master Plan calls for concrete unit pavers to be used on
the east side of Vail Valley Drive, a portion of this sidewalk has recently been
constructed using concrete. The applicanYs design consultant has indicated that
the paving material on this side of the road is as "yet to be determined," to allow
for further discussion by the PEC and the Town Council.
~ Staff recommends that the sidewalk on this side of Vail Valley Drive be
constructed of concrete unit pavers.
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
Along i/aal VaeBey Drive, frorn flAanor VaBI's aaorth entry to the soccer field, an
eight to qen-foo$ wide concrete unit walkuvay is recomrr9ended on the south
side of 4he road.
The PBan poents out that retaining walls wiYl be needed in sorne areas due to
an 6nadequa4e right-of-way and a hillside being immediately adjacent to the
roadway. There es no siciewalk proposed for the north side of the stree4 due
4~ the gugFa4 phys6ca1 constraints along the northerly right-of-way IBne.
The Plan recommends that a sidewaBlc/crosswalk solution will be necessaey
to pPOvode safe pedestrsaas access through the Golden Peak bus turnaround
a¢~ea.
Staff Analysis:
Vail Associates is proposing to continue the pedestrian walkvuay on the south side
of Vail Valley Drive as suggested in the Plan, from Manor Vail's north entry to a
point just east of the Children's Center. As mentioned previously, the walkway in
front of the Children's Center drop-off lot is only four feet wide. Although Vail
Associates is not proposing any streetscape improvements to the soccer field, it
~ has provided a plan depicting a sidewalk to the soccer field. This plan does not
accurately depict the improvements recommended in the Streetscape Master
Plan.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
20
Staff recommends that Vail Associates construct a six to eight foot wide sidewalk
in front of the Children's Center drop-off lot and provide the Town with a ~
Streetscape Improvement Plan that accurately reflects the recommended
improvements identified in the Master Plan, from the Children's Center to the
Soccer Field.
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
The existing Vista Bahn/Gold Peak recreational trail and the pedestrian
connection to Ford Park through Manor Vail will be used as a part of this
sub-area's pedestrian systern. Manor Vail's entry to Ford Park should
include additional signing or an entry statement.
Staff Analysis:
Vail Associates proposes additional signage at both ends of the Ford Park path in
order to better inform the public as to the location of this pedestrian link between
Golden Peak and one of its associated parking areas. These signs will be
included in a comprehensive sign program that will be presented to the Design
Review Board for its review and approval.
Streetscape ANaster Plan Recommendation
Additional minor pedestrian paths, either concrete or asphalt, are proposed
as follows:
An east/west connection between Vail Valley Drive and the existing •
recreational trail west of the Tivoli.
A path north of the tennis covrts to the north entry of the Gold Peak ski base
facility.
Staff Analysis:
The applicanYs Streetscape Upgrade Plan does reflect a four foot wide asphalt
path connecting Vail Valley Drive to the existing recreation trail west of the Tivoli.
As recommended in the Plan, Vail Associates is proposing to provide a path north
of the tennis courts to the north entry of the Golden Peak Ski Base Facility.
Streetscape Mas4er Plan Recommendation
Consider eliminating the winter-time parking use on Chalet Road. Closure of
the dead-end road and development of a pocket park/open space area
should be pursued.
Staff Analysis:
Although the closure of Chalet Road and ihe development of a pocket park/open
space area was a part of the 1985 development plan, it is not proposed in
conjunction with this redevelopment plan. For the past finro ski seasons, the Town ~
has eliminated (by plowing snow across the entry) the winter-time parking use on
Chalet Road.
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
21
Some residents in the neighborhood have expressed interest in closing Chalet
~ Road and converting it to a pocket park, however, there does not appear to be
neighborhood consensus on this issue.
Staff believes that it is appropriate to address this recommendation of the
Streetscape Master Plan at a later date and not tie it to the Golden Peak
redevelopment application.
Streetscape RAaster IPlan Recommendation

Staff Analysis:
At the Ford Park entrance, a handicap drop-off has been provided by the Town of
Vail. This improvement has increased the visibility and usefulness of this
important access to Ford Park and the Nature Center.
VVith regard to the plaza at the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Mill Creek
Circle, the proposal from Vail Associates indicates that the entire corner area will
be paved (concrete unit pavers) with landscaping provided south of the plaza
area. Additionally, three benches are depicted.
Staff feels that the plaza at the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Nlill Creek
Circle should be designed as suggested in the Streetscape Master Plan. This
Plan showrs the sidevualk angling away from Vail Valley Drive in order to provide
small landscape islands at the corners of the intersection with Mill Creek Circle.
The Plan also shouvs a landscape island in the center of the plaza. Staff believes
that additional uvork should be done on this element of the plan to make this focal
point more aesthetically pleasing to users and passers-by.
A design similar to Mayor's Park which is located at the intersection of Vail Road
and VVest Meadovu Drive uvould seem to be an appropriate example of the type of
improvements that should be provided in this area.

Streetscape Wlaster Ptan Recommendation
It is proposed that the Children's Center bus stop be relocated to the ~
northeast of the Golden Peak ski base facility for twro reasons:
1) congestion caused by heavy drop-off traffic at the present location causes
delays for buses and; 2) the proposed location provides better access for
summer events in Ford Park. A pedestrian crosswalk from the relocated bus
stop to the Manor Vail/Ford Park path will be necessary.
Staff Analysis:
After several meetings with Town of Vail staff, Vail Associates staff and
neighborhood representatives, it was determined that the best location for the bus
stop is where it is currently located, between the Children's Center and the base
lodge. This location promotes the use of the bus system by providing bus riders
with the best access to the ticket windows, the Children's Center and the ski lifts.
A pedestrian crosswalk, to the Manor Vail/Ford Park path has been provided with
the new redevelopment plan in the same location as is suggested in the Master
Plan. Additionally, Vail Valley Drive will be relocated in front of Manor Vail to
improve site distances and provide a safer driveway intersection with Vail Valley
Drive.
Streetscape N9aster Plan Recommendation
The westbound mus stop that is presently located on Vail Valley Drive roear ~
the bridge over Gore Creek is recommended to be eliminated at the request
of area residents and to reduce vehicular/bus congestion. The eastbound
stop at the Garden of the Gods will remain.
Staff Analysis:
The Plan proposed by the applicant shows the removal of the bus stop as
suggested in the Streetscape Master Plan. Ultimately, the Town Council will have
to make the final decision to remove the bus stop.
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
Landscaping, lighting and site furnishings should be included where
possible as the streetscape improvements are made. All bus stops and
feature areas should provide a full compliment of site furnishings.
Staff Analvsis:
The applicant's plan shows that "Village" light fixtures will be provided on the west
side of Vail Valley Drive (from the Transportation Center to the Mill Creek Circle
Plaza). These lights will then continue along the south side of Vail Valley Drive in
front of the Golden Peak Ski Base, east to the Children's Center.
.

Staff Analysis:
The current proposal allowrs for the addition of an eight foot wride pedestrian
walkway on the. vuest side of Vail Valley Drive and maintains the existing 12
parking spaces in front of the Vorlaufer. There is no need to relocate two guest
parking spaces to the east side of Vail Valley Drive, as suggested in the Plan.
The reconfiguration of parking spaces, however, will require modifications to the
existing planters and retaining walls in the area.
Streetscape AAaster Plan Recommendation
~ Widening of the Vail i/alley DrBve bridge over Gore Creek to better
accomrvoos9age the proposed pedestrian walkways.
Staff Analysis:
The applicanYs plans show that the bridge will be widened to accommodate an
eight-foot wide walkway on the west side and a four-foot wide walkway on the
east side.
Streetscape Master Plan Fiecommenda4ion
Add a "eaec9c dowea" at the east end of 9ianson Fianch Road (at Vail VaYley

Staff Analysis:
The applicant is proposing to carry out this recommendation of the Streetscape
Master Plan.
mm
In summary, staff believes that the applicant has provided drawings which
accomplish a number of elements recommended in the Town's Streetscape
~ Master Plan. However, as mentioned previously, there are certain elements
included in the applicanYs Streetscape Upgrade Plan that are contradictory to the
f:\everyone\pecVnemos\gpeak.n27
24
recommendations in the Streetscape Master plan, including':
1) The proposed plaza at the corner of Vail Valley Drive and Mill ~
Creek Circle is not designed as suggested in the Streetscape
Master Plan. 2) The sidewalk in front of the Children's Center is four feet wide,
rather than the 8-10 feet suggested in the Streetscape Master
Plan.
3) The sidewalk to the Soccer Field is not designed as suggested in
the Streetscape Master Plan, nor proposed to be constructed by
the applicant.
5. Recreation Trails Master Plan
~
In May 1988, the Town of Vail completed and adopted the Vail Recreation Trails
Master Plan. This Master Plan is intended to help guide the Town's development
of its recreational trails system for the foreseeable future. The goals and
objectives of this Master Plan are as follows: ,
• Identify problems and deficiencies in the existing trail system;
• Identify who uses the trail system, what their needs are and who can
safely share trails; ;
• Identify where trails are needed and which trail segments should be
constructed first; i ~
• Develop a master plan that will allow for all types of non-motorized use in
a safe, efficient manner; and i
• Produce a final report that will be a working docurnent and a resource
book for the staff.
That portion of the Master Plan which identifies the shortcomings of the existing
trails in the Town of Vail states that Vail Valley Drive, from' the Golden Peak Ski
Base east to the athletic field, is an area of concern. The combination of a narrow
road and heavy use by cars, bikes, and pedestrians makes this section of on-road
trail very congested and often hazardous. Improvements which move the non-
motorized uses out of the travel lanes will help alleviate th;e problem. These could
take the form of widened shoulders or a physically separated trail if the right-of-
way is wide enough.
~
The Master Plan recommends that bike lanes be added to each side of Vail Valley
Drive and be four to five feet wide (depending on the shoulder availability). Each
bike lane should be one-way and move with traffic. Although not intended for
pedestrian use of the bike lanes, limited use by joggers, rollerbladers etc. should
be anticipated since this will be the only path available in ;many areas.
The implernentation section of the Master Plan provides design details for trails
and associated improvements, (i.e. signs, retaining walls; etc.). The Master Plan
recommends that timber retaining walls, when designed and constructed correctly,
are adequate and can be used. However, there are wall systems now on the
market that can be erected easily by Town staff that are more durable. While ~
such systems may be more expensive initially, their longer life expectancy should
,
~
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27 25 ,
offset the higher cost. In high profile areas, such as along Vail Valley Drive, more
~ decorative walls should be considered. Concrete walls faced with stone or dry-
layed stone walls should be explored as an option. The Master Plan points out
that the final design of the trails system is unity. Materials and color should be
simple and repeated throughout the system. The crispness of the detailing will be
the most noticeable characteristic to the visitor. Vail has a reputation for quality
design that should be upheld in the design and construction of its recreational trail
system.
The proposed implementation portion of the Master Plan suggests three different
types of trail systems associated with the Golden Peak redevelopment application
(see attachment 8, Figure 19 of the Recreation Trails Master Plan). The Master
Plan shows that an off streeUpedestrian trail should be located directly through
the Golden Peak Ski Base property from the Mill Creek Circle/Vail Valley Drive
intersection to IVorthuvoods and Pinos Del Norte Condominiums to the east. This
path runs east to west and is located on the south side of the ski base, Children's
Center, and Ski Club Vail buildings. The second type of trail associated with
Golden Peak is a pedestrian path, which the Plan recommends the upgrading and
widening of the Vail Trail, which leads from Golden Peak to the east: The third
type of trail through the Golden Peak area is a four to five foot wide bike lane on
each side of Vail Valley Drive.
The proposecfl redeveloprneng of the Golden Pealc Ski Base appears to carcy
ou4 a number of the recommendations in the Recreation Trails Master PBan.
SpecifacaBly, a new trailhead sign will be constructed and the Vail Trail is
~ 6catended to be extended through the Golden Peak property to the west. The
appiicant has indicated that the exact alignrnent of the Vail Trail extension be
con8angent oapon U.S. Forest Service approval of their surnmer rnountain bike
and pedesfroan plan. The improvements to VaiB Valley Drive, recomrnended
en the (Naster Plan from the Children's Center to the east, are not proposed
4o be accompBashed 'an conjuraction with the GoBden Peak applicatiora, as it 6s
$he app96cant's opinion tha4 the redevelopment of Golden Peak does not have
any relationship to the need for pedestrian improvements along Vail Valley
Dride eas4 0f 4he ChiYslren's Center.
Staff recommends that the Vail Trail extension to the wes4 be comp0etec9,
prior to the assuance of aTemporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Golden
Peak buiBd6ng aead that the applicant provide the drawings necessary for the
Town to consgrucg asidewaBk from the Children's Center $o the Soccer Fielde
6. CornprehensBve Open Lands Plan
On March 11, 1994, the Town of Vail completed and adopted the Comprehensive Open
Lands Plan. The objectives of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan are:
0 To identify citizen and visitor needs and preferences for a comprehensive system
of open space uses such as parks, recreation, protection of environmental
resources, trails and reserve lands for public use;
0 To prioritize available open lands for protection;
~
fAeveryone\0ecVnemos\gpeak.n27
26
i I
• To identify creative strategies to implement the acquisition and protection
program; 0
1
• To define a management system to appropriately manage Town-owned open
space lands; and
• To buffer neighborhoods with open space. I
i
The recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan that are
applicable to the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base Redevelopment are as folloHrs:
• Adding an extensive new trail system that essentially surrounds the Town and
provides an interface with the National Forest system lands and Vail Mountain.
The proposed trail system is somewhat similar to trail systems found in the Alps,
where interconnected trails allow hikers to move around and to mountain villages.
• The Golden Peak area should be used as a trailhead to access both mountain
trails and the Vail Trail. ~
~ Add three "trailheads" in the core areas to access Vail Mountain trails and inform
visitors of trail opportunities. ;
~ Golden Peak is identified as an "activity center." These ce'nters are activity areas
where people are likely to gather or chose as a destination. Connections must
then be provided that tie various activity centers throughout Town together
through a series of bicycle and pedestrian trails. ; 0
• It is a high priority for the Town to obtain a public use agreement with VA to
maintain access to all existing and proposed trail systems through the Golden
Peak property. Additionally, the extension of the Vail Trail~ to the west is a high
priority.
~
• Paved shoulders on Vail Valley Drive should be provided for a safer recreational
path east of the core area. The current right-of-way is too narrow for complete
bike lanes on either side, but paved shoulders will make the recreation path
significantly safer and easier to use for both drivers and cyclists, in-line skaters
and pedestrians. ,
Staff believes that the proposed redevelopment of the Golden Peak Ski Base carries out a
number of the recommendations in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. Specifically, a new
trailhead sign will be constructed and the Vail Trail is proposed to be extended through the
Golden Peak property to the west.
C. Develoament Plan Standards and Criteria Chapter 18.39.120 establishes the criteria by which a proposed development plan for the Ski
Base Recreation Zone District will be evaluated. The development plan shall meet each of the
following standards or demonstrate that either one or more of them is not applicable, or that a
practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved: '

iaacontpatible factorse
Staff Response:
The revised development plan indicates that abuffer area has been provided where the
Ski Base/Recreation Zone District boundary is adjacent to a residential use district
boundary.
Specifically, along the western properry line, where the Golden Peak property is adjacent
to the residential lots along Mill Creek Circle, the applicant has provided a setback of 210
feet to the base lodge. There is significant landscaping proposed along this edge, with
consideration given to the impact on views that additional landscaping may create.
In addition, the majority of the activity on the property will occur in and around the base
lodge, wrhich is located on the northeast corner of the property, adjacent to Vail Valley
Drive.
The applicant is proposing to relocate the poma lift from the west side of the property to
~ an area behind the Children's Center. This will further increase the buffer between the
Golden Peak facility and the residential lots to the west. The top of Chair 12 will move
230' to the west, but staff does not believe that this will create any negative impacts on
adjoining residential properties.
Properties across Vail Valley Drive will have a landscape buffer to partially shield the
skier drop-off area from the neighborhood. This landscape buffer will reduce noise and
other impacts caused by the drop-off. As mentioned previously, the 148-space parking
structure has been entirely buried, with the exception of the vehicular and pedestrian
entrances, and additionally screened with landscape plantings.
2. A corcu9ataoeu system designed for the type of 4raifuc generated, taking onto
consideratiora safety, separatoon frorn living areas, convenience, access, noise, and
exhaust coeatrot: Prbvate internal streets rnay be perrnitted if they can be useai by
po9ace and fire departenent vehicles for ePnergency purposes. Bicycle traffic shal6
be consodered and prodided when the site Is to be used for resideratiai pucposeso
Staff Response:
The proposed redevelopment plan attempts to reduce congestion in the public skier drop-
off and the Children's Center drop-off areas. There are currently 21 head-in parking
spaces located immediately west of the Children's Center. The proposed redevelopment
plan includes 30 short -term spaces located on ihe inside curve of the relocated bus drop-
off lane. Although Vail Associates' traffic consultant recommended a total of 33 - 36
spaces, it uvould appear that site limitations are such that only 30 spaces are all that can
be provided.
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\9Peak.n27
28
Although some PEC mernbers have raised concerns about children crossing the bus
lane, staff believes the area will function safely as designed. The bus drivers for the in- ~
town shuttle are accustomed to driving in a pedestrian oriented environment, and will use
caution in that area. A barrier will be placed between the bus lane and the drop-off area
to encourage people to cross only in the designated area (which will be identified with
pavement striping). As identified in the Operational Management Plan, during Peak
Periods both drop-off areas will be staffed with Vail Associates employees to assist in
traffic flow. The public skier drop-off area located on the north side of the building will serve as an
access point to three other traffic uses; the parking structure, the delivery area, and the
residential condominium entry. Staff believes this area will handle the traffic generated by
these uses. The parking structure will generate traffic, but due to the location of its
entry/exit portal on the far west end, the traffic should not interfere with the function of the
drop-off area.
The only exhaust fans from the parking structure will be above the vehicular entrance and
will vent toward the south.
The condominiums will not generate a large volume of traffic and will not interfere with the
public skier drop-off area.
The delivery area will be used during non-peak hours, as defined in the Operational
Management Plan, therefore staff believes its impacts will be minimal.
The existing bike path south of the base lodge is proposed to be relocated, but will ~
provide for continuous access through the site (connecting to Vail Valley Drive, east of
Ski Club Vail, and to the Village path to the west).
As mentioned previously, the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment proposal includes the
implementation of a number of elements identified in the Town of Vail Streetscape Master
Plan. Additionally, Vail Valley Drive is proposed to be reconstructed and straightened in
order to improve site distances along this heavily used portion of the road.
3. Functional open space in terms of: optimum preservafion of natural features
(including trees and drainage areas), recreation, views, convenience, and
function;
Staff Response:
The open spaces on this property are both formal and informal. The existing ski runs
allow for both winter and summer activity. While serving primarily as an access for skiing,
Golden Peak will also serve as a trailhead for the Vail Trail and access to biking and
hiking trails on Vail Mountain. The Golden Peak base facility is also used #or both winter
and summer special events. A temporary tent will be located near the ski race lanes for
special events during the ski season, and during the summer.
Some trees will be removed to accommodate for the realignment of Chair 6 and the
addition of a race course lane. The applicant has proposed to mitigate the removal of
trees by planting 10'-12' tall evergreens and 3"-6" caliper aspen trees around the new
base facility. ~
l:leveryone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27 ,
29
The existing Mill Creek diversion that runs through the property is proposed to be
~ culverted an additional 370 feet. This will allow for regrading to occur, and it will provide
for flood control, as well. The Environmental Impact Report has not been approved by
the Town Engineer or the Senior Environmental Policy Planner. Staff is recommending
that no Building Permit be issued for the redevelopment project until the report is
updated/modified and approved by the Town.
Viewrs from surrounding properties wrill not be detrimentally impacted vuith this new
building. Generally, the proposed base lodge building will be no higher than the building
approved in 1985.
4. !lariety in terms o4: housin9 tyPe, densiqies, facilities and open spaceg -
Staff Res ose:
Variety is achieved through the many uses located within the base lodge building. The
facility will include ski lockers, restaurant and retail space; lockers for employees; club
space for members; meeting rooms for ski events, community meetings and restaurant
overtlow and six residential dwelling units.
1lVhile there is no variety in terms of housing types or densities proposed on the Golden
Peak site, Vail Associates has committed to continue to work with the Town to provide
affordable housing for employees.
In April 1995, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates entered into an agreement to manage
• peak periods. In this agreement, the Town and VA acknowledged the ongoing
commitment to foster adequate employee housing within the Town of Vail. VA and the
Town renewed their commitment to explore other opportunities, to strive to replace
employee housing that has been taken off the market, and to work in a comprehensive
fashion with the Vail Housing Authority. In addition, VA specifically pledged to participate
with the TOV in making the Vail Commons affordable housing project a reality.
Due to the competitive nature of the Vail Commons developer selection, assistance from
VA has not been needed. Although not yet constructed, all agreements have been
executed and ground breaking for Vail Commons is anticipated soon. Staff believes that
VA should transfer the commitment that was intended to be invested in the Vail Commons
project to the next Town housing project. At this time, the Town believes that the next
project is likely to target seasonal workers and that VA could have a greater role to play in
making the project a reality. Therefore, staff recommends that as a condition of
approdaO foP Rhe Golden Peak Ski Base, Vail Associates participate in the next Town
of lia6G housBng progect, in accoreBance wath the existing agreernent identified in the
TO!!/!!A agreemen4.
5e Pravacb in terms of ahe needs of: indiveduais, families and neighbors;
Staff Response .
VUith the exception of the newr condominium units, the new base facility, and
accompanying activity, will occur away from adjacent residential properties and should
not intertere with their privacy.
f:\everyonelpecUnemoslgpeak.n27
30
The private condominium entrance will afford some level of privacy for these owners and
their guests. The residential dwellings are located on the third and fourth floors and are •
distinctly separated from fhe public areas of the building.
6. Pedestrian traffic in terms of: safety, separation, convenience, access to
points of destination, and attractiveness;
Staff ResRpnse:
One of the most important off-site improvements that will occur with this redevelopment is
the addition of an eight-foot wide sidewalk, on the west side of Vail Valley Drive from the
Vail Transportation Center to Golden Peak. The sidewalk will be completed in
conformance with the Vail Streetscape Master Plan, as discussed previously in this
memorandum.
On-site, there are sidewalks proposed along Vail Valley Drive in front of the base facility
and the Children's Center. Staff recommends that the six-foot wide sidewalk along Vail
Valley Drive be extended along the road at the Children's Center drop-off, instead of the
four-foot wide walkway currently proposed. This will require the reduction of aisle width
and parking space length, in order to gain enough space for the expanded walkway and a
landscape buffer.
The applicant has proposed to improve ihe pedestrian connection at the Manor Vail north
entry. Vail Associates will close off the dangerous sidewalk, located just south of this
entry, and create a landscape barrier to encourage people to use the sidewalk and
crosswalk at the north Manor Vail entrance. ~
7. Building type in terrms of: appropriateness to density, site relationship, and
bulk.
Staff Response:
Staff continues to have concerns regarding the mass and bulk of the proposed structure.
We acknowledge the fact that the applicant is attempting to work within the "covenant
boundaries" according to the approved 1985 plan. The program elements within the
building have changed significantly since 1985. The overall square footage of the
structure is significantly larger than what was approved by the Town in 1985.
Approximately 17,629 sq. ft., an increase of 27%, has been added to the structure.
While staff acknowledges the applicanYs need for the additional square footage for the
ski related uses, we feel that the applicanYs desire to accommodate the additional square
footage within the same 1985 building envelope" is creating a rather large, boxy
structure. The architect's attempts to break up the boxiness of the structure has been
successful on many portions of the elevations, however, the staff continues to be
specificalty concerned with the north and east elevations. Due to the lower natural grade
elevation along the north, the building reads as a four-story structure in this area. This
also occurs on a portion of the eastern elevation. Staff recommends that the applicant
consider stepping the building back, on the third and fourth floors, on these sudes
of the building. We believe that this would reduce the mass and bulk of the buBld'ong
from the two areas of the site which are proposed to receive the largest number of
g uests.

M an attempt to furtheP enunianize the enass and bulk of the building, staff wouBc9
~ recoavamerad that the 9arge, third floor dormers on the east and south elevations be
puBled back. We be8ieve #hat this would provide more of a peclestraan scale to the
eas4 and south eEevations and we believe it would no4 cornpromise the onterior
spaces (GRFA) of the condorniniums.
Overall, staff believes that the emphasis of the new Golden Peak base lodge should be
placed on its public uses, as opposed to its residential functions. The purpose statement
of the Ski Base/Recreation zone district states that this district:
"is intended to provide for the base facilities necessary to operate the ski
mountain and to allow multi-family residential dwellings as a secondary use if
certain criteria are met."
VVhile the residential portion of the building may be comprised of less overall square
footage than the base facility operations, the character of the building appears to be
predominately residential. Additionally, staff believes that the residential decks
overhanging the public areas will increase unwanted shading in those areas.
8. Landscapaaag o$ the $otal site an terms ofe purposes, types, ma6ntenance,
suitab6Bsty, and effec4 on the neBghborhoocJ.
Staff Res onsee
The landscape plan is designed to act as a buffer between differing uses occurring on the
~ site. The most heavily planted areas are along the west and north sides of the site, near
the public skier drop-off area and the proposed underground parking structure. The
buffer between Vail Valley Drive and the skier drop-off area is an eight-foot wide
landscaped berm. A mixture of nine coniferous and 24 deciduous trees are proposed in
this area. The proposed underground parking garage also includes a heavily landscaped
berm in front of the north-facing wall of the building. The 20-foot wide berm between the
skier drop-off area and the north wall of the parking garage contains a mixture of
coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs. The plaza on the south side of the building,
however, is relatively void of plantings. The residential entry to the building, as well as
the east elevation, is proposed to contain fewer trees than on the western and northern
sides of the building as there is less room for planting.
The Children's Center parking area contains the least amount of buffering and trees on
the site. Additionally, the Public Works Department is concerned about sight distances,
therefore many of the trees shown on the applicanYs landscape plan may need to be
removed or relocated from this area.
The top of the parking structure wrill contain a variety of plant materials. No activities are
planned for this area, and it is intended to be naturally landscaped. In order to break up
the duest e9evatBon of the base 9odge, staff recornmends that additional evergreen
4rees be adcied 40 the area between the parking structure and the main building.
S#aff a9so recommends that the P9anning and Environrnental Cornrnission and the
Design Rediew Board take a detailed 0ook at the overalB plan to determine if there
are opportunities for addi46onaB landscaping, especia6{y in the Children's Center
drop-off bote

D. Criteria for Approving the Multi-Family Dwellin,gs
As required in Chapter 18.39.01 (D,2) of the Ski Base\Recreation Zone District, before acting on ~
the proposed multi-family dwelling units, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall
consider the following Conditional Use Permit factors in regard thereto:
1. Relationship and iQnpacts of the use on the development objectives of the
Town.
Staff Response•
As identified previously in this memorandum, the proposed Golden Peak redevelopment
will carry out numerous recommendations for improvements as identified in the Town of
Vail Comprehensive Plans. It would not appear that the residential portion of the
redevelopment project would have any negative effect on the development objectives of
the Town.
2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
facilities, utilities, schools, parks, and recreation facilities, and other public
facilities and public facilities needs.
Staff Response:
As indicated in the TDA and RRC studies, the Golden Peak redevelopment will have a
significant effect on the distribution of the skiing population among the four major portals
to Vail Mountain. It is believed that the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base Redevelopment •
will double the current uphill capaciry of this particular portal. The applicant has indicated
that the mode of arrival most likely to see increased use will be the way of mass
transportation and pedestrian usage. They have also provided information which
indicates that, because of the managed nature of the parking structure, traffic impacts
associated with the redevelopment proposal will be significantly less than that which
occurs currently, as a result of the loss of the public parking lot that exists on the site.
Additionally, because of the expanded and improved Children's Center and general skier
public drop-off areas, staff believes that these transportation facilities will function
significantly better than they currently do.
Although staff believes the managed parking structure will result in reduced vehicular trips
on Vail Valley Drive, we are concerned with the location of the attendant booth at the
entrance to the structure. In its current location the booth is visible and allows for the
possibility of the public believing that the structure is open to the public on a daily basis.
Staff recommends that the booth be relocated in the structure, or removed from the
structure.
As mentioned previously, VA is proposing to implement a number of the streetscape
improvements which they believe are directly related to the Golden Peak redevelopment.
These improvements will encourage the expanded use of the pedestrian system
throughout Town and have a positive effect on the reduction of vehicular traffic in the
neighborhood. Overall, the proposed redevelopment of Golden Peak area is a positive
improvement that should assure Vail's continued standing as North America's premier ski
resort and mountain community.

~ andl pedestriaaa safety and convenience, traffic flow and controE,
access, maneuderab6lity, and pemova9 of snow 4rorn the streets anc9
parking area.
Staff Response.
As mentioned in response to the criteria listed above, staff believes that the Golden Peak
redevelopment will have a positive impact on traffic congestion, automobile and
pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access and maneuverability.
Although it is difficult to estimate how well the new portal will function in terms of the
above listed criteria, VA has supplemented their application with an Operational
Management Plan which allows for continued monitoring and amendments to be made to
address concerns that are not able to be predicted through design. UVith regard to snow
removal, the applicant has provided a snow removal plan and has included the
management of snow removal in the Operational Management Plan.
4. Effect upon fFae character 04 the area en whBch 4he proposed use is 40 be
located, 6ncludong the sca9e and bulk of the proposed use 6n relation to
surrounding1 uses.
Staff Response: Vl/ith the exception of the single family homes along Mill Creek Circle, the Golden Peak
Ski Base facility is surrounded by large multi-family residential buildings.
• Although the proposed building does appear to be in scale with the multi-family buildings
surrounding it, staff continues to have concerns with certain elements of the building
itself. As mentioned previously, the protective covenants under which the applicant is
atternpting to work, appear to provide artificial limitations to the property, severely
constricting the creativity of design. The applicant is attempting to fit substantially more
square footage into a building envelope that is very similar to the plan approved in 1985,
• on which the protective covenants are based. Staff believes that too much emphasis of
the new Golden Peak Base lodge is being placed on its residential functions, as opposed
to its public uses. This appears to be contrary to the purpose statement in the Ski
Base/Recreation Zone District. Staff is recommending that the PEC, Town Council and
Design Revievu Board continue to try and reduce the scale and bulk of the building,
including the expansive deck areas and unnecessary dormers over those decks.
Additionally, staff believes that the south and east sides of the building need considerably
more work to bring the building down to a more pedestrian scale.
In addition to the four criteria listed above, the PEC shall make the findings set forth in
Section 18.60.0606 (Findings for Conditional Use Permits) before permitting multi-family
units within the main building. These required findings are as follows:
9. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of
this title and the purposes of the district in uvhich the site is located;
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it vuould be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity;
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27

}
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this title. ~
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the Criteria and Findings identified in Section IV of this memarandum,
staff recommends approval of the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment application and
the Zoning Code text amendments with the following conditions:
1. Prior to the Town's issuance of a Building Permit for the redevelopment, the
applicant shall be required to enter into a Developer Improvement Agreement with
the Town. This will insure that the proposed on and off-site public improvements
associated with this project are completed in conjunction with the redevelopment.
2. If the proposed 148-space parking structure is not able to be constructed during
the same construction season as all of the other improvements at the Golden
Peak site, the applicant shall be required to return to the PEC, or DRB, with a
regrading/revegetation plan for the area. And, as already committed to by the
applicant, the applicant shall meet with the Vail Town Council to discuss payment
of parking pay-in-lieu fees for the loss of on-site parking.
3. Staff recognizes that changes to the project may occur at the Town Council and
final Design Review Board stages of this redevelopment application review.
However, once final Design Review Board approval has been granted, any
substantial changes to the project will be required to be returned to the PEC and
possibly Town Council for additional review and approval. ~
4. Rather than participating in the provision of affordable housing associated with the
Vail Commons project, as committed to in the Town of VaiINA Growth
Management Agreement, staff recommends that VA transfer their commitment to
the next Town of Vail affordable housing project.
5. Staff recommends that the PEC, DRB and Town Council review the final
architectural design and detailing of the building, specifically with regard to the
. criteria identified previously in this memo related to the building's bulk and mass.
6. The final streetscape and bus lane designs must be reviewed and approved by
the Public Works and Community Development Departments prior to the issuance
of a Building Permit for the project.
7. The Environmental Impact Report must be revised/updated and approved by the
Town, including the Mill Creek Geological Hazard Analysis, prior to the issuance
of a Building Permit for the project.
8. The Mill Creek Circle Plaza must be designed in a manner more closely matching
the design identified in the Streetscape Master Plan.
9. The aisle widths in the Children's Center parking lot must be reduced in order to
accommodate a minimum six foot wide sidewalk along Vail Valley Drive in front of
the parking area. Town Engineer approval is required.

10. The Vaii Trail extension must be constructed from its current terminus, located
. behind the Children's Center, to the vuestern edge of the Vail Associates property
prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the base lodge
facility.
11. The design of the seasonal tent proposed to be located near the ski race course
finish area must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior to
its placement on the property.
12. A comprehensive sign program for all on and off-site signage in the area of
Golden Peak must be reviewed and approved by the Design Review Board prior
to the issuance of a Building Permit for the project.
13. The attendant booth currently shown at the entrance to the managed parking
structure must be removed, or relocated as discussed in the memo.
14. Staff recommends several improvements to the landscape plan, however, since
the landscape plan requires Design Review Board final approval, these comments
can be addressed at that time.

(8:15-10:15am) and afternoon (3:15-5:00pm). All vehicular and pedestrian
movements to and from the Golden Peak Base Facility were recorded during
these peak periods. On Saturday, January 21, 1995 and Saturday, April 1, 1995
data was recorded in order to observe traffic conditions during a typical DEVO
Saturday.
- The skier day count on Friday, December 30th was 14,700 skiers. The 1,200
space main Vail Village parking structure filled at 11:45am, with 2,855 vehicles
parked throughout the day. Over 980 students were in ski school lessons and the
base restaurant processed 1,150 transactions throughout the day. On January
21 st, the skier day count was 14,620 skiers. Vail parking structure also filled on
this day at 10:30am, with 2,422 vehicles throughout the day.
- Daily traffic volume on Vail Valley Drive was over 8,000 vehicles per day at East
Meadovu Drive, reducing to 1/4 of this, 2,030 vehicles per day east of Golden
Peak. From 8:45-9:45am on Vail Valley Drive across from the parking area, was
• 220 eastbound and 215 westbound vehicles. This is equivalent to about 7% of
the daily volume of 6,125 vehicles at this location. The PM peak hour volume was
210 eastbound and 325 westbound, representing approximately 9% of daily traffic.
- During the December count, 14 vehicles were observed entering Mill Creek
Circle to drop skiers off in the AM peak hour. TDA estimates that approximately
30 skiers were dropped off from those vehicles. During the PM peak hour, 30
vehicles were observed entering Mill Creek Circle to pick up skiers at this location.
- Directional distribution showrs strong directional orientation of Golden Peak
vehicle trips to and from the west (Vail Village, 1-70 interchange and beyond).
About 80% of the vehicles came from and returned to the west. Virtually all trips
to the site were destination rather than passerby trips, meaning motorists returned
to the same direction they approached from.
- The following explains the mode of arrival to the Golden Peak base for the 1,500 .
peak hour. Pedestrians were the greatest single mode of arrival at 34% of the
peak hour persons. Seven percent of arrivals were Children's Center drop-offs
and one-fifth of all arrivals came via the In-Town Shuttle. The Golden Peak
parking lot uvas the source of 15% of the AM arrivals. Twenty percent of arrivals
are skier drop-offs. This activity generates the highest number of vehicle trips,
44% of all vehicles arriving in the AM peak hour.
The Touun shuttle is responsible for an equal number of arrivals, 300 persons, yet
it represents just 3% of all vehicle trips.
~
~
~
- The parking lot, skier drop-off area and Childfen's Center are the major vehicle~
destinations at Golden Peak. Vehicles approaching from the west show the
parking lot was the biggest destination, attracting 42% of all vehicle trips. The O
Children's Center and public drop-off were equal attractors at 29% each. On
Saturday, a larger percentage of vehicles are destined for the parking lot due to
DEVO drop off occurring there.
- Currently, the public parking area consists of a 130 space lot on the south side
of Vail Valley Drive. Approximately 10-12 spaces are reserved for employees, 10
spaces are reserved for Spraddle Creek residents and nearby condominium
development and four spaces are reserved for people with disabilities.
- The Golden Peak parking lot is used as a skier drop off point, as well as for all
day paid parking. On Saturdays, the west portion of the parking lot is reserved
until 9:30 AM for parents of children in the DEVO program to drop their children
off. Because of the large volume of DEVO vehicles arriving at one time vehicles
trying to get into the parking area for drop-off still often back up on to Vail Valley
Drive.
= The public skier drop off area is located between the Golden Peak lodge and the
Children's Center. There is currently space to accommodate a maximum of 10
vehicles off-street for this activity. At this level of use, vehicles must wait for the
ones in front to exit before they can exit the turnaround. At any one time there
were between three and five vehicles stopped along Vail Valley Drive during peak
periods.
- Dwell time is the average length of stay per vehicle in the drop off/pick up ~
turnaround. Posted signs limit vehicles using this area to a 5 minute dwell time.
Dwell time in the AM peak hour averaged 3.3 minutes per vehicle. In the
afternoon, this duration increased over 75% to 5.9 minutes per vehicle. Nearly
40% of the vehicles using the turnaround in the PM peak hour stayed over five
minutes, and 15% stayed over 10 minutes.
- Day care and children's ski school activities take place at the Children's Center.
Currently; there are 21 head-in spaces in the parking lot serving the Children's
Center. It is signed "Children's Skiing Center Drop-Off Parking Only." The
average stay for vehicles enter the parking lot was 12 to 15 minutes. Two
vehicles remained parked in the lot all day during the 12/30/95 observations. In
the AM peak hour, December count, 70 vehicles entered the Children's Center
parking lot. From observation, approximately 100 people were dropped off at this
time. This accounts for 25% of the total people dropped off at Golden Peak.
- Over a third of the peak hour arrivals, 510 persons during the December count,
were pedestrians. The following information represents the relative use of the six
distinct pedestrian paths used by skiers walking into the Golden Peak area. The
path from the west (Vail Village core) was the most utilized by arriving
pedestrians, just under one-third at 31%. Walk-ins from the south side of Manor
Vail was next highest at 19%, followed by those coming up Chalet Drive, 16%.
About 13% of the pedestrians come along Vail Valley Drive north of Golden Peak
~
~
6
and 7% from the east along Vail Valley Drive. The Ford Park Path, intermingled
with Manor Vail guests, accounted for 14% of the wralk-ins.
~ - Two Vail transit routes serve Golden Peak: the In-Town Shuttle and the Golf
Course route. The In-Town Shuttle runs every 7-10 minutes connecting Golden
Peak to Lionshead Village via the Transportation Center. The Golden Peak bus
turnaround is the east terminus of the route. During the December AM peak hour
300 people (20% of all arrivals in the peak hour) arrived at Golden Peak via this
shuttle. In January, 110 people arrived during this tirne. In April, 150 people
arrived to Golden Peak via this route in the AM peak hour.
- The Golf Course route runs every 30 minutes connecting the Golf Course to
Golden peak and the Transportation Center. In December, 30 people arrived at
Golden Peak via this route in the AM peak hour.
Traffic study recommendations:
- Redevelopment of the Golden Peak Base Facility should consider mitigation of
several capacity and safety deficiencies.
- The Children's Center could use an additional 12-15 off-street spaces to
augment the existing 21 short term spaces.
- The drop-off lane has a demonstrated need for about 25 to 28 off-street stalls.
- This should be separated from the private vehicle drop-off area to reduce
pedestrian/vehicle conflicts, thereby increasing safety and efficiency. The bus
~ boarding area should be wide enough to allow buses to pass each other,
approximately 22 feet.
- The existing inbound bus stop for the Golf Course route drops skiers at a
precarious location, just west of the sharp curve in Vail Valley Drive. If this stop
could be incorporated in the future shuttle turn around, this safety problem could
be eliminated.
- Golden Peak pedestrians using Ford Park Trail cross or walk along Vail Valley
Drive where the road curves sharply. Future redevelopment should consider a
formal crosswalk to the trail that leads conveniently through the new facility.
- Since over 80% of the vehicles arriving at the Golden Peak base come from and
return to the west, it is important to minimize their penetration into the Golden
Peak activity area. Access to and from the parking structure and private vehicle _
drop-off should be along the west portion of the Golden Peak site.
- An operation plan, combined with adequate site design, will be needed to safely
accommodate the anticipated increase in Golden Peak Base activity.

?
RRC Survey
- Among the overall sample, about 7 percent used Lift 6 as their first lift of the day, ~
with 40 percent using the Village and 48 percent using Lionshead. Locals and
Front Range day visitors were more likely to use Lift 6(9 percent and 12 percent,
respectively) than were destination visitors (about 6 percent).
- Overall, about one.third of the respondents walked to the mountain "today," 43
percent drove, 13 percent used the In-Town shuttle, 6 percent used lodging/van
services, and 5 percent used the outlying bus. Overnight destination skiers were
more likely than average to walk, with day skiers and locals more likely to have
driven.
- Thirty-finro percent feel that Lift 6 is the most important of the remaining out-of-
valley lifts to be replaced. In comparison, 41 percent would prefer Lift 1(Vail
Village), and 22 percent would prefer the gondola out of Lionshead to be replaced.
- Currently, 46 percent indicate they do not use Lift 6 at all. If it was replaced,
only 11 percent would not use it at all. ,
- Locals, Front Range day, and Colorado overnight guests would be most likely to
use Lift 6"mosY' or "alt of the time."
- It is evident that a substantial increase in utilization would occur, particularly
among those visitor segments who already have an inclination to use the lift or to
prefer the eastern portion of the mountain.
- It is conceivable that demand for usage, specifically for Lift 6, to access the ~
upper mountain and China Bowl areas referred to above (as well as the use of Lift
6 as a"skiing " lift) could increase the usage of Lift 6 as an out-of-valley lift from
current levels, ta range of 20 to 28 percent of the visitors and locals on any given
day.
- Currently, many visitors complain about the length of time it takes to migrate
across the mountain and to and from the Two Elk/China Bowl area from the
Lionshead or Vail Village portals. This issue will clearly be mitigated by the
opportunities afforded by the upgraded Golden peak base area. However, this
increased demand for the use of Lift 6 would be balanced by realistic access and
skier processing/lift capacity limitations at Golden peak, which would make it
highly unlikely that the estimated demand would be exceeded. Also, countering
the projected increased demand for Lift 6 is the situation that skier loads and
levels of congestion at the Vail Village and Lionshead pods will be reduced by the
incremental shift to Golden Peak. This will create a continuing draw to the Vista
Bahn and Lionshead and will help to maintain a reasonable balance between the
three primary portals to Vail Mountain.
- It should also be noted that the current use of the Golden Peak portal includes
many ski school students and nursery children (and their parents who drop them
off) who do NOT use Lift 6. The portal is also used by Vail Associates employees,
currently numbering about 500. In light of the decision to expand the Children's
. ~
r
~
a
Ski Center at Lionshead, it is not anticipated that either ski school students or the
number of VA employees based at Golden Peak will expand significantly.
• Given the variety of uses at the Golden Peak area, while demand for Lift 6 might
be tripled over the current (rather low) levels, total access to the pod might only
be expected to increase by about half that amount, due to the anticipated
relatively constant level of use and lack of future growth in demand by both the
Golden Peak Children's Center and by Vail Associates' employees based at that
location.
- Indications are that most of the shift access to Golden peak uvould be absorbed
, by increased use of the shuttle bus. Such usage would increase dramatically
based on the survey data (48 percent would use the shuttle bus to access the
Golden Peak area). This would place some increased demand not only on the
Town bus system, but also on the passenger loading and unloading areas at
Golden Peak as well. Currently, many skier passengers who unload from the bus
at Bridge Street will continue instead to ride the bus to the Golden Peak stop. A
certain proportion of this increased In-Town bus demand for Golden Peak can be
absorbed within the existing capacity of the system.
- This analysis is based upon responses to a more comprehensive capital facilities
survey, completed by a random sample of skiers interviewred at all of the various
on-mountain restaurants at Vail.

and operational systerrns for Golden Peak or Vail at large is that both the ski
I
company and the greater Vail community are engaged in ttie winter and summer
resort business. For reasons beyornd the complete control of the community the
~
demands far and use of resort goods and services willl always b'e subject to specific or
I
isolated events such as the Christmas holiday or a worldl class competitive or
~
cultural event. Events such as these will by necessity mean that Vail will ezperience
I
surges or peaks of vflsitor use that may be mitigated, butl, will not be eratirely
i
overcome or eliminated by envestment in hard assets. To the ;eztent that such high .
demand events tax the capacity of our systems and our collective patience, we must
also acknowledge that these events, if well managed, are also what give us life,
~
vitality, ezcitement and special appea?. ~ •
I
It is the effort to "manage well" that leads to the creation of this plan. In its
application VA has proposed significant physical improvegnents to the Golden Peak
~
portal. These include: '
~
- doubling the skier drop off zone capacities; '
- improving drop off flow and ffunction; .
i
- giving locational primacy to publac transit; i
~
- structuring and landscaping private auto parking; I
- improving lift access to balance portal use across the Village; and
- improving base lodge facilities for the guest and local alike.

For these purposes it is pertinent to note that in 'the Agreement "Peak ~
~
Periods" are defined as: i
Christmas Peak: That period which eztends between ~December 26 and
I
December 31; ~
.
and ,
High Season: That period which includes Presidents' Weekend and each
I
weekend beginnang the third weekend in February thr;ough the end of
;I
March.
'"Nonpeak Periods" are defined as: I
Those Periods falling outside of the Christmas Peak and High Season and
'
which normally include the early ski season, Thanksgiving, the pre-
~ •
Ct?ristmas Period, the January to mid-February period, and the late ski
; season. .
Another pertinernt concept in the Managed Gro ~wth Agreement is the
benchmark capacity os the mountain which has been defined as 19,900 skiers at one
hme ("SAOT"). The theory behind the Managed Gr'owth Agreement is to
i
implement tiers of management techniques to control infrastructure demands and
rations at or below the 19,900 SAOT threshold. An additionad factor for
ope I,
consideration is the design day standard for Golden Pea'k planning studies and
i
infrastructure assessment which is 15,000 SAOT, a typical; skier day count for the

"Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance', with Chapter 18.52

approximately 2 members to every parking space. These members would. call the

parking manager more than 24-hours in advance to reserve their use of available
i
. spaces. A reservation 9ist from among the members would be coanpiled dlaily for the
~
management of entr y access by personnel stationed in the 'lattendant booth at the
entry to the structure. Access into the structure would be permitted upon
presentation of a Photm I.D. identifying the bearer as a member and a contirmation
of a reserved parking space on the parking availabillity list. ,
In the event that all parking spaces are not fully reserved and utilized by the
club members, VA, as operator of the facility, reserves the right at any time of the
year to utilize unreserved spaces for other guests, members of the _skiing pulblic,
employees or other persoms who likewise must call and reserve a space less than 24-
~ ~
hours in advance. This short-notice use by non-members would be permitted qnly
on a daily basis bY reservation. However, this mamaged operational feature would
' expand the available user groups and increase the utilization of the structure in non-
peak periods without adding appreciable, unwanted traffic. Further, if the utility of
he structure can be maximized by offering additional c?gembershnps for sale, VA will
t ~
do so after the first year of operation establishes typical occupancies.

4. VA will investugate splitting the DEVO program further and basing some
ortion of the program in Lionshead or staging it at other drop off zones.
P
For example; moving the Freestyle Program, approgiinately 15% of the
~
DEVO skiers, to another drop off zone suctn as the T,OV structure will be
ezPlored and implemented if alternate drop offs are created. Staging DEVO
out of the Lionshead Teen Center will also be explored with TOV, includling
the creation of slnort-term, 30 minute, drop-off and pick-up parkeng spaces in

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Iam the awner af $condominium wnit in Vail Tr$ils ChaletA and have b.n ~
paft-time resident of Vail fag more than 20 years. Because of the, many
changes ia my neighborhood, g understand that elfimiswtang the bus stop
across £ram the Vorlaufer is being consideged. T'bat would cr~ate a smious
hardshiP for all of the gesidents an the area; not only the residents of `Tai1
'I'mils Chalet9 Vail 7`Yaff5 Eagt, and the Faur Seasons, but also thoso residents
an~ visitogs cast a1ong the path to Far~ park9 surgh as the Wr~n
APaliments. Many families couat on that bus stop to tr$vel into town and
utffiza the stores and restaurants. I believc if pcople lad to w$lk to the
tl`2nsPortation cenYer ghey night choose nat go9 aad the aanpact on businesses
in the ~,illagc wouId be, nega,tive. .
I believe that the value af otar pxope* f s cnhanced by the proximity af a bus
stop. The elirnination of that stop couid reduce the value of homes aud
condon iniums in the area. I a1so urge that the eastbound stop at the Cratlaton
. be rnaintained as wel19 for a11 the reasons I prevaously citcd in geverse.
T'hanks fop your consideraEf on, and I hope you wil.I vo4e to main4aiai the

Re: Vail Golf Course Bus Transportation
~
Dear 1Vlayor Osterfoss: ~
i
We are owners of a dupleg at 1153 Hornsilver Circle, along Vail Valley Drive
on Vail golf course. The purpose of this letter as to urge you and 'I'own Council to
authorize some needed improvement in the peak hour bus service on' the Golf Course
Loop. T'his service has been unacceptable particul$rly during tast ski season.
One of the reasons we moved frorYe the Golden Peak area several years ago to
the golf course was that there was adequate bus transportation, to and from the ski lifts
and the village durang the basy winter season. At that time, buses ran at "20 minute
intervals" during the winter season. This scheduie provided for enough lbuses to meet the
skiers going to and from Golden IPeak and the village during peak hours. However, I
understand that because ridership was "light" in the off-peak hours, ,the following year the
schedule was changed to "every 30 minutes", all day. Then last year,the schedule was
changed to "60 minute intervals" with 3 additional runs during each AM and PIVI[ peak
hour. 'I'his is when the problems really got bad!
~
As an ezampte, several marnings during the peak hour last January, the bus at
Ptarmigan E bus stop was so overcrowed that it passed by siz of us waiting to be picked up.
The driver said he would call for another bus, but who knovvs when that would get us to
the lifts, with the negt scheduled bus one hour later. Needless to say; we drove our car to
the lifts and paid a parking fee. This sacne situation happened on more than one occasion
last year, both to and from Gold Peak at peak hours. Furthermore, tbe buses were atways
packed (overfull) during peak hours. We even would go to Hanson Rancia Road bus stop
after skiing in the afternoon because of the crowds waiting mt Golden Peak stop were over
the bus seating/standing capacity. We've heard numerous other golf eourse bus riders
complaining about being passed up by "fWed" buses etc.

Dear Mayor Osterfoss: ,
I am writing in response to your letter regarding the Colorado Department of
Transportation's (CDOT) management plan for increasing accessibility along I-70 during
the ski season.
I appreciate your detailed offer of assistance in this effort. As we have discussed, a
state/local partnership will be an extremely helpful piece of I-70 corridor mangement
during the winter months. I am encouraged by Vail's willingness to work with CDOT to
address the many economic and transportation factors behind the problems in that
corridor.
Let me assure you that I am focused on solving this problem. Colorado's ski industry has
long been one of the key contributors to the state's economic health, and I recognize the
importance of I-70 to that economic contribution. I have been working closely with
CDOT and the Department of Public Safety to address problems in that corridor, and I
will continue to do so.
Again, thank you for your cooperation in this effort. Sincerely, Roy
Governor

Town Charter Amendment Backgrounc!
The Charter Amendment outlines a rigorous review process for the protection of
designated open space properties. Designations will require a unanimous vote of a
three-member Open Space Committee (comprised of the Town Manager, a Vail Town
Council member and a, member of the Planning and Environmental Commission) and a
three-quarters vote of the Town Council. Once a property is placed in a designated
status, an election by Vail's registered voters will be required to release the land for
sale, or to change the zoning to a non-open space zoning district. Now that the Charter
Amendment has been approved, next steps include selection of the Open Space
Committee and identification of properties for designation consideration.

Strauch
--Citizen Participation
Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel made a presentation acknowledging
the contributions of outgoing Councilrrien Merv Lapin and Tom Steinberg.
iVext, Sammye Nieadows, of the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, gave a brief update on
lease negotiations with the Town of Vail. She said the Foundation has asked the town
for a 49-year lease at Ford Park with the option to renew for another 49-years. The
lease will be reviewed by the Council at its Dec. 5 work session.
--Supplemental Appropriation
The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve a supplemental appropriation of
$541,881 to the 1995 budget. Finance Director Steve Thompson noted, among other
things, the appropriation also includes a$7,000 commitment from the town to install a
tow-watt AM 530 radio station to broadcast weather and road condition/closure
information from the top of Vail Pass to Dowd Junction. The project will be cost-shared
with the Colorado Department of Transportation and Vail Associates, each of whom has
pledged $7,000 toward the $21,000 project. --Town Council Salaries
The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to increase the salary of Town Council
members from $200 to $500 per month and an increase in the Niayor's monthly salary
from $500 to $1,000. The ordinance is effective Jan. 1, 1998, and would include a cost
of living index adjustment every four years thereafter. Council members turned down a
suggestion by Merv Lapin to make the new salary contingent upon an 85 percent
attendance record. Council salaries were last increased in 1981. Members say the
1998. increase is intended to offset expenses such as daycare or temporary help to
enable a larger segment of the community to run for office.
--Eagle River Watershed Plan
The Council voted 7-0 to approve a resolution supporting the Eagle River VNatershed
Plan, which addresses regional management and protection of the Eagle River and its
(more)
,
TOV Highlights/Add 1
tributaries. The plan was drafted by representatives from recreational interest groups,
developers, water districts, federal, state, county and local agencies. Specific action
steps associated with the plan, such as new stream setbacks to improve protection of
riparian vegetation, will be handled through subsequent ordinances. For more
information, contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Department at
479-2138.
--I-70 Chain-Up Update
The Council approved an operational plan presented by Acting Police Chief Jeff
Layman for enforcement of the state chain law on I-70 during inclement weather. In
addition, the Council supported a recommendation by the president of the Colorado
Motor Carriers Association to establish a task force to continue working on solutions at
the state and local levels. The operational plan presented by the Vail Police
Department includes:
• Enforce existing state chain law, which assesses a$39 fine for violators, as
opposed to immediate consideration of a local ordinance. Layman said he
wanted to test the deterrent aspects of the $39 fine "for a few more storms"
before recommending any additional action at the local level. Since November
1, the Vail Police Department has written six tickets to truckers who have
violated the chain law on I-70. Layman said the six were probably the most his
officers--and possibly the Colorado State Patrol combined--had issued in recent
years.
• Assignment of a Vail police officer to work overtime at the East Vail exit area for
chain law enforcement on weekdays when the,chain law is enacted. This action,
Layman said, would supplement the Colorado Department of Transportation and
Colorado State Patrol enforcement programs, which will be operated on
Saturdays and Sundays only.
• Draft a local ordinance that mirrors the state chain law ordinance, in case
compliance with existing laws is ineffective.
• Layman said the department has been experimenting with an enforcement
presence on the interstate since November. And already, he says, police
presence has had an immediate effect on voluntary compliance with the chain
law.
The Council then heard from Greg Fulton, president of the Colorado Motor Carriers
Association, who gave an update on the organization's efforts to become part of the
solution. Fulton said CMCA is pursuing actions, such as:
• Providing a"pusher-trur,k" at the top of Vail Pass to expedite clearing of the
roadway when mishaps occur. A similar program is in place on Donner Pass in
California.
• Implementation of an education campaign to inform out-of-state truckers as to
Colorado's chain law and the need for chains under certain conditions.
• Assisting in passage of new state legislation to toughen the chain law to
increase compliance.
• Working with CDOT and others toward an overall plan for I-70 to address
increasing traffic on the corridor.

0 Investigating development of a"command center" to dispatch weather and road
condition/closure information to various trucking companies.
In suggesting a task group to continue the dialogue, Fulton said the association was
particularly interested in relocating Vail's chain-up area "farther up the hill" beyond the
East Vail exit. He said a new area would preserve wear and tear on the highways,
increase safety and prevent damage to the truckers' chains. Joe Macy, from Vail
Associates, also participated in the discussion. VA has been a partner with the town
and other state agencies in working to address last year's record closures along I-70.
For more information on this topic, contact Jeff Layman at 479-2211; Joe Nlacy at
479-3012; or Greg Fulton at (303) 433-3375.
--Steinberg Appeal of DRB Decision
The Council voted 5-1-1 (Slifer against, Steinberg recused) to uphold Design Review
Board approval of an addition to the Cook residence at 1012 Eagles Next Circle. The
vote also requires additional revieuv of the project by the Planning and Environmental
Commission to review the staff's zoning analysis. The PEC review will take place on
Dec. 11. Adjacent property owners, Tom and Flo Steinberg, have protested the project
due to visual and density concerns. For more information, contact George Ruther in
the Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Sign Variance Request for Vail Gateway P.laza
The Council voted 4-2 (Lapin and Steinberg against) to approve a sign variance
request for the Gateway Plaza. The Council attached a condition that it shall be the
responsibility of the Design Review Board to resolve sign location and parking sign
issues. The applicant sought to install a directory sign which would display the general
nature of each of the tenants, rather than specifically listing the tenants by name.
--Town Manager's Report
In Bob NlcLaurin's absence, Public V1/orks/Transportation Director Larry Grafel
presented an update on a recent work session with the Eagle County Commissioners
on regional highway issues. Grafel's written update is attached.
--Council Reports -
Merv Lapin gave an update on last week's Sister Cities Conference with officials from
St. Moritz, Switzerland. He said the discussions, which focused on joint marketing and
public relations; special events; and employee exchanges; would produce good results
for the future.
Tom Steinberg suggested the Council sponsor a meeting with environmental groups,
Vail Associates and the Forest Service to discuss the EIS report for the proposed
Category III expansion.

The Council voted 7-0 to approve a one-year contract for Town Manager Bob

MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Larry Grafel, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 21, 1995
SUBJECT: County Commissioners' Meeting
I attended a County Commissioner's work session meeting in Eagle yesterday. An update was
given by Bernie Beuscher, Regional Highway Commissioner; Bob Moston, Region III, CDOT; and
John Smith, fVlaintenance Supervisor Region III, CDOT. There were several items discussed, those
that affect us are:
1. Highway 6 project at Dowd Junction will be bid this spring. It will consist of widening an
overlay of about 1.4 miles of the original 2.4 mile project. This project is funded to only $1.1
million and is not enough for the entire segment. They are going to do as much as they can
with the allocated funds.
2. Dowd Junction Bike Path has $430,000 in federal funding, but that may be reduced
depending on what the percent reduction is. Expect up to 15% reduction. Side note: We
will still be about $100,000 short and will know exactly after we get some bids.
3. There are now three variable message signs, two at Dowd east & westbound and one at
Edwards eastbound.
In the larger picture, State Representative Sullivant from Summit County is introducing the Chain
Law bill at the upcoming legislative session. I also heard this morning that Silverthorne is working
on a chain law ordinance for their YZ mile segment with fines up to $500 for not chaining up.
Also, Congress has approved as part of the IVational Highway System (NHS) to allow the states to
set their own speed limits on state and federal highways. Expect to see speed limits increased on
Interstates to 75 mph and probably 65 mph on selected state highways, especially in rural areas.
Congress also passed the Transportation Bill at a higher funding level that was requested which
means a little more money coming to Colorado as well as other states.
1
The new six year Statewide Transportation Improvement Pian (STIP) will not be approved until
probably the end of the first quarter of '96. It contains the necessary planning consideration for us
to get the federal dollars for the $1 million for the replacement buses that we lobbied for. That
appears to be on track.
Finally, CDOT project requirements in the 20 year Transportation Plan are estimated at $8 - 12
billion, far exceeding tfie state and federal revenues. There is a new bill called the Noble Bill that
would allow collection of sales tax on automobiles, accessories and license fees to go to the
Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF) which would bring in approximately $150 million a year. This is
distributed to all municipalities on a formula basis. We will probably get a slight increase in HUTF
revenues.

Dea,r Sir:
One vear ago our Association encountered suspicious circumstances relating to the
management of our funds entrusted to a former propertv manager. A reyuest was made
to the Vail Yolice Department, for an investigation. Detective Joe Busch was assigned.
At our Annual Meeting on Sunday, November 12, 1995, Detective Busch briefed our
Board on the results of his investigation. Everyone present was impressed with the depth
and thorougluiess of his work during the past year. He painstakingly investieated every
lead and interviewed a substantial number of people. We are very pleased that the Town
of Vail has taken an interest in protecting it's part time residents bv employing top notch
professionals like Detective Busch.
The Association greatly appreciates the efforts of the Vail Police Department. Please
pass our thanks to Detective Busch for a job well done. Keep up the good work!
Our Association manages nine time share condos at Vantage Point iii Lionshead.
Sincerely.

FOR GAflMEDIATE RELEA5E November 27, 1995

Vail Mayor
CI°~ING FAMBLV NEED5, OSTERFpSS STEpS ppWN FROM !lABL COIDIVCIL
(Vail)--Vail iViayor Peggy Osterfoss announced today she is resigning from the town
council due to health problems of her 15-month-old daughter and other family
demands. A townwide election will be scheduled within the next 90 days to fill the
v.acancy.
Osterfoss' daughter, Jera Alexandra, is experiencing difficulty with weight gain,
chronic congestion, and ear infections and needs more care than Osterfoss has been
able to provide while serving as an elected official. In addition, she needs to devote
more time to her parents, who aiso are experiencing health problems, she said. "It is
with great regret and a tremendous sense of personal loss that I have made this
decision," she said. "I was looking forward to finishing the term voters had elected me
to, but Jerry and i feel this resignation is critical to our daughter's health." OsterFoss is
married to Jerry Davis, the former mayor of Avon.
As mayor, Osterfoss, 46, was spending 30 to 40 hours per week on town business.
In addition to setting agendas and presiding over town council meetings, Osterfoss has
served in a ceremonial capacity, welcoming numerous visitors and dignitaries to Vail.
She has also represented the town on various local and regional committees, including

,
the Eagle County Transit Authority and the new TOV-VA Community Task Force, which
~
is working to implement the town's managed growth plan with Vail Associates. Most
I
recently, Osterfoss was instrumental in carrying a message to state', and federal officials
I
regarding community opposition to a plan to sell federal ski lands to private ski area ,
I
operators. ~
"It's definitely a time-consuming task," Osterfoss said. "I wish my sall the
best." Following last week's election, the council will hold an organizational meeting
;
tomorrow (11-28) to swear-in the four new council members, select ~~a new mayor and
~
mayor-pro-tem, and make committee appointments.
i
Osterfoss said she turned down a suggestion to serve out her remaining two-year
, i
term in a reduced role. "In order to do a good job as a council member, I would find
~
myself putting in more hours away from Lexi than the specialists have advised," she
~
said. Her daughter, born Sept. 2, 1994, suffers from dangerously low weight, chronic
I
congestion, ear infections and lack of adequate muscle tone. The toddler is alsa
undergoing evaluation for possible allergies, consideration of adenoid and ear tube
'
surgery, physical therapy and a six-times-a-day feeding schedule. The diagnosis was
Ii
made last week following a series of tests in Denver. i
I
Ostertoss was first elected to a four-year term on the town coun i il in 1989 and led
the field with 741 votes. She was re-elected fo a four-year term in 1'993. Her
I
colleagues had elected her twice to serve as mayor, beginning in 1991.
Her popularity with the public has been noteworthy, as well. In the 1993 annual
i
community survey, respondents gave the mayor a rating of 3.25 on a scale of 1 to 5,

while the remaining town council members received a score of 3.06.
OsterFoss says it's too early to tell if her retirement from public office will be
permanent. "t've really enjoyed working on behalf of the community," she said. "With
cooperation from council members, staff and members of the community, we've been
able to move in a positive direction on many projects." She lists the managed growth
agreement with Vail Associates, the Vail Commons project, roundabout, open lands
plan, regional transportation, the employee housing unit ordinance and the hiring of a
new town manager (charged with changing the culture of the town organization to that
of continuous quality improvement) as the council's most significant accomplishments
during her terms of office. She regrets the town wasn't able to make more progress on
affordable housing or the Berry Creek Fifth property during her six years. "The timing .
of this news is most unfortunate for me as this is a time when the town needs dedicated
and visionary leadership," she said. "I look back at the accomplishments of the town
council over the past six years with much satisfaction, but I feel there is not only more
to be done, but that Vail's future viability as a community and success as a resort
depends on addressing issues such as economic viability, sense of community and
housing and transportation quickly and decisively. I feel sadness and concern at
having to step back from making that happen, for now," she said. "I will do everything l
can to help existing and new council members move in that direction."
"As council members come and go, it is the Town of Vail staff that is responsible for
identifying and implementing quality and responsible financial and municipal service plans," she said. "At this time, under Bob fVicLaurin's leadership, you can be sure that

this dedicated group is well positioned to work in every way to ensure a quality future
I
for the TOV."
Osterfoss got her start in local government in 1986 when she was appointed to the
Planning and Environmental Commission. She had moved to Vail in 1975 and owned
~
and operated her own business, Columbine Creations, before devoting most of her time
;
to community service work for the Town of Vail. I
. i
With her term expiring in 1997, a special election will be held within the next 90 days
i
to fill the mid-term vacancy. IVominating petitions and other candidacy information will .
`
be ayailable shortly from the Vail Town Clerk's Office. ~
