Commercial Core II Zone Districts.
ACTIOIV REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/modify/deny Ordinance IVo.
25, Series of 1995.
BACKGROUIVD RATIONALE: Staff believes that an amendment should be
made to Section 18.24.050 (B) to include text requiring a Gonditional Use
Permit for any use which eliminates any existing dwelling or accommodation
unit or any portion thereof above the second floor, similar to that which is
required for uses on the second floor. Staff believes this amendment should
• be made to create consistency within the Zoning Code and to help carry out
the intention of the Permitted and Conditional Use Sections of the
Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II Zone Districts. A copy of the
Planning and Environmental Commission memorandum dated IVovember27,
1995 has been provided for reference.
On iVovember 27, 1995, the Town of Vail Community Development
Department presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission; the
above described amendment. After a lengthy discussion, a motion to
recommend approval of the proposed amendment to Town Council was
made. The Planning and Environmental Commission voted 4-2 in favor of
the recommendation. Planning Commission members Greg Amsden and
Dalton UVilliams voted in opposition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels the proposed amendment to
Section 18.24.050 (B), will create consistency within the Zoning Code and
will help carry out the intention of the Permitted and Conditional Use Sections
of the Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II Zone Districts. Staff
believes it is the intention of the Zoning Code to permit dwelling or
accommodation units to be eliminated above the second floor in the
Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II Zone Districts to allow for
another Permitted or Conditional Use, subject to the issuance of a
Conditional Use Permit in accordance with Gliapter 18.60 of the Zoning
Code. The proposed amendment wilf ensure that a request to combine or
enlarge existing accommodation or dwelling units into one or more units will
be reviewed by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission.

Dear Town Council Members
Over the course of the last two years we have been involved in
discussions with Vail Associates and the East Village Homeowners
Association regarding the Development Plan for the Golden Peak Ski
Base. In general, those discussions have been productive and
informative. As the project is reaching its final stages of
approval, we are pleased with the overall appearance of the
building. It appears that it will blend both from a mountain and
residential standpoint.
In our support of the project, one of the elements that we were
pleased to see proposed, was an underground parking structure with
surface landscaping. This we felt would in general enhance the
appearance of the development and area. Of recent days, however,
we are advised of discussion that the parking structure may not be
built or that fees may be considered payment in lieu of parking.
Please understand that a portion of our support for this project
was the benefit of underground rather than surface parking.
Although we can understand the desire to pre sell spaces to off-
set construction costs, we do not favor the pay in lieu of parking
alternative. Further, if the structure cannot be built, we would
request that the space be restrict-ed to green space only. This is
what we anticipated our view corridor would consist of with the
landscaping proposed for the structure area.

A second matter of concern is the signage issue. Although studies
suggest that the vehicular traffic impact may not increase
significantly, there is no question that Vail Valley Dr. will
realize a noticeable increase in traffic. We ask that the Vail
Town Council, in its discussions with Vail Associates, provide for
adequate electronic signage at the Golden Peak Ski Base as well as
on Frontage Road that would minimize unnecessary traffic flow on
Vail Valley Dr. In particular if no parking is available, cars
should be directed elsewhere prior to coming down the Blue Cow
Chute.
We are optimistic that these issues wili be addressed in the final
approvals of the Development Plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base.

RECEIVED DEC 1 9 1995
I think before the Golden Peak Expansion is approved, the town council should iake a closer look at the
overall future and consequances of this expansion. Why is Vail Associates pumping twenty seven million
- dollars into an oversized Beaver Creek facade development praject? For every potential ski facility
development within the towns limits, including the redevelopment of Lionshead~ that Vail Associates in'
the future takes on, always to be on the level af promethean, exorbitant, exclusive, and proportionally
unfit to the area. This is not Beaver Creek nor do we need a second Beaver Creek. Who asked Vail
Associates to develop this exclusive, massive project with private parking? I do not know of anybody in
town or visitors that view Golden Peak today and proclaim w+e need eighty three thousancf square feet of
exclusive ski facility property in the Town of Vail along with twro and five million dollarcondominiums on
top, pnvate parking, valet service,a ten thousand square foot restaurant ( with food prices to go aiong with
thesquarefooiage),asmallerrestawrantdownstairs,andprivatelockerfacilitiesalllocked inforthirty exclusive years. What the normal , logical skier, snowboarder, resident, non-resident, would like to see is
a quaint down size rebuitd of Golden Peak. Along with a new ticket office, ski tockers, restaurant or
restaurants, locker storage, shop, and parking passes.comparable io the Town of Vails, and the new ski lift -yes, always a plus.
Vail Associates is dealing with an inexperienced town council and is woang the council and area citizens in attracting the town to their vote by promoting the parking facility. If they do not 'sell. all parking
exclusivity, and possible have to revert back to ten dotlar a day parking, then what Idnd of traffic problems
will the town and area residents be faced with in the future. Beaver Creek rode on the same philosophy of
exclusivity, they are so exclusive, why is theirtrack homes on the golf course, tfie biggest eyssore of
Beaver Creeks future. I
Eric Windisch made it this far with the Golden Peak building, anything would be an improvement. Eric said
he used to store his skis in the boiler room well now he will have eighty three thousand square feet of
storage including underground parking to store skis. This is skiing mentality and not golf course
mentality, there is a big difference. -
Town council look into another roundabout by the Tyrolean Inn Restaurant, as you will have a honendous
traffic problem accumulating, for any intelligent logical minded and sane person knows that Vail
Associates will never be able to sell these exclusive parking places and this proposal is asnoke screen
for their own controlled parking for skier numbers in the next thirty years. Think don't get caught up in the
illusion of exclusivity.

and Northwood Condoninium Property Owners Representative,
Tim Lamont, via Mrs. Brinkman By Federal Express
I recently studied the Vail Valley Drive streetscape plan as it
was published in a flyer by the East Village Homeowners ,
Association. I realized that although a lot of attention has
been addressed to traffic congestion, the streetscape plan does
not fully address pedestrian traffic and could lead to a dangerous situation.
A large number of parents with children will be left off by the
bus at the curved driveway in front of the proposed Golden Peak
Base facility.(The bus stop is not marked on the streetscape
plan, however, that is the obvious location for it). In order
to get to the children's ski school many parents and children
will enter the base facility, walk upstairs, exit the base
facility on the other side and walk around back down the hill to
the children's ski school. However, some of the parents and
children will decide to take the sidewalk, which is a more
direct route. This will require that they walk across a private
driveway and around a sidewalk bordering Vail Valley Drive.
During peak hours some pedestrians will inevitably walk onto the
road. It turns out that this sidewalk is located along a curved
area of Vail Valley Drive where the likelihood of skidding cars
is greatly increased. This could lead to a dangerous situation.
There is a very simple solution to this problem that does not
involve any change in plans of buildings or driveways. The
solution would be to build a pedestrian ramp over the private '
driveway that enters the Golden Peak facility. Presumably the
planned driveway would enter the base facility below street
level which would enable a ramp to traverse the driveway only
slightly above the street level. This would necessitate some
reduction in the landscaping in that area but would provide an
additional path for pedestrians to walk in the direction of the
ski school without walking on the sidewalk bordering the Vail
Valley Road. I plead with you to consider the addition of this
pedestrian walkway to accommodate the enormous pedestrian
traffic that will result from the increase in "up mountain"
capacity at the site. Please do not wait until someone is
killed on that dangerous curve before you decide to add an
additional pedestrian walkway.

Dear Council Meffibers:
As a long time owner at 1Vlanor VaR Lodge I would like to, express my concem
and displeasure at the swggested closing of the eaisting pedestrnan crossing froffi
Manor Vail to Golden Peak. This pedestrian crossgng has been in existence fbr a
. rnunnber of years and has evorked in the past. My concerns are:
1. People will not walk to the proposed new north or somth crossings,lbut ,
rather, will climb across the berm and.pjaywalk" to the opposite side -
of the street. .
2. Visibility from the new proposed crossings is no better than ffic
visiibility from the existing crossings.
3. The road cannot be widened enougln to eliininate the visYibillity
problems. .
Perhaps a110f the concegns, . i.e., liabiliry, visibility, etc., would be better served
if the existing crosswalk were madc mvre visible with increased signage, and a
painted crosswallc.
I hope that you wilI consider wr opinions on this matter before voting on this
project.
Sincerely,

Mr. Robert Mcl.aurin
THE TOVVN OF VAgI,
17 S. Frontage Road, West
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Bob:
I have been getting a lot of comments opposed to the closing of the existing access
point from Manor Vail Lodge to Golden Peak. While there appear to be no
objections to the proposed new crosswalks, our owners are concerned about issues
of convenience and safety by physically obstructing the walk that has been in
existence for 30 years. It has been pointed out by some owners that the location
of the new crosswalks are no less dangerous than the existing walk. Common
sense dictates that people will cross the road at the point closest to where they want
to go. Even today, many people 'by-pass the existing walk ways and cross at
places they perceive to be more convenient. Ignoring this reality may result in a
greater liability potential rather than a lesser liability potential as some of the
inembers of the Town Council think.
In fact, there has been some as yet unorganized discussion about directing me to
ask the Association's legal counsel to intercede on the owners behalf because the
Ho:r.eo :vnar's Assceiation is cor.cerned that the Towr~ of Vail is encumbering
liRanor Vail Condominium Association with a greater liability risk.
I urge you and the Town Council to reconsider your decision relating specifically
to the closure of this area.
T'hank you,
MAN0R VAIL LODGE

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development and Public UVorks Departments
DATE: iVovember 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 Waterton
0. V9VTRODUCT90N
~ 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 which 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", w?hich is reviewed and approved
along with the proposed text of the zone district provisions. Therefore, it is important to note that
the revievu 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
amendrnents 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 which is proposed to be added to the district is in bold.

B. Proposed Revisions to the Previously Approved Development Plan ~
1. Overview
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 principat 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 accommoc9ate the variety
of sometimes conflicting 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 properly 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.

2. Nflajor Elemen$s
The major elements of the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment plan are
identified as follows: (see Rttachment #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
lodge building 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 following the Zoning Analysis.
The proposed uses un the base Eodge buildirag are vir4ually the same as the uses
revaewed and approved 6n 1985. The square footage allocated to each of tFuese
~ aoses, woth the exception of restaaarant and employee Bocker room space, has
signif6cantly ancreased. The building square footage proposed for approva9 with this
redeveloprraent p1an as approxBmately 17,629 sq. ft., or 27% 9arger than the 1985
approval.
o The exostirtg 950-space surtace parking Eot, which is currently open $o the public for
a fee, is proposed go be rernoved and replaced vvith a 148-space "managed" parking
structuceo 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,
Vail 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, which wrill be offered to the public, is a non-equity "club" or association of up
to 500 members, who would have the right to park in this structure for a fee. Two tiers of
membership in this association are proposed. The first t6er would consist of 50 members
who 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 lockers, locker room facilities,
ski valet, ticketing, and other amenities. The remaining 98 parking spaces would be sold
to second tAer members, wrho wrould 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 warrants, additional subscriptions may be offered up to a ratio of
~ 4.5:1, or approximately 450 tier two members. Second tier members would also have the
right to use the club facilities. These members would 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 seasan
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 tennis courts at the Golden Peak area are proposed to be removed in
conjunction with this redevelopment proposal. An agreement has been reached beiween ~
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.
• 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 lo'cated 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' ta
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\pecVnemos\gpeak.n27
5
~
The existing Chair 12 is currently a double chair with an hourly capacity of 960 skiers per
• hour. The proposed replacement chair wrill be a fixed grip, low profile, triple chair, with a
slow loading speed to assist in the instruction of chi4dren and first time skiers. This lift is
proposed to have an hourfy capacity of 1,500 skiers per hour. The base of Chair 12 will
remain near its present Iocation. 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
allows for less interference with other skiers and provides easier terrain for beginners.
The new alignment is proposed to be tocated through an existing stand of trees, some of
which may need to be removed. Similar to Chair 6, a new lift operator building is
proposed near the lower terminal. The existing lift operator building also functions as a
locker room 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 Children's
Center area. The !ift will service the practice area for the Chitdren's Ski Schoof, as welf
as provide ski-in/ski-out opportunity for the residents at fVorthwoods Condominiums and
Pinos Del Norte to the east. Some regrading is proposed in this area, but there will be no
loss of vegetation.
o There are currently 21 head-in parking spaces located immediately wrest of the
Ch6@dren's Cengere 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 property 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 geaaeraB pub6ac skier drop-off zone, which is currently located an the eastern portion
of the site, has been expanded and relocated to the north side of the newr 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 flow of
vehicles through the area.
In the center portion of the skier drop-off zone, one loading anci delBvery berth has been
provided into an area betvveen the base lodge building and the proposed parking
structure.
The en$uance to the sux residentiaB condorniniurns 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 vuall and landscaping. Two guest parking spaces, a sidewafk and the driveway
leading to the residential parking structure are Iocated inside the courtyard area.
o VaiV Va91ey Drfive Bs proposed Yo be realigneci 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.

• Severai pedestrian and bicycle conraections leading to, and around, the Golden 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 President's 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 fwo above-mentioned periods.
It is important to note that the design day standard for Golden Peak planning studies
and infrastructure assessment 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. Aduft 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:\everyonelpecUnemos\gpeak.n27
7
~
the extended culvert to accornmodate, the proposed undergrounding without increasing
~ the 100 and 500-year flood potential on surrounding properties..
o Currently, there are two 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,
with the ability to have four wrhen demand is high. A new bui{ding is proposed to be
IocaYed 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 will provide storage for race events.
OV. BACICGR0UND
In 1983, a new zone district, Ski Base/Recreation, vuas 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 p{an vuas to retain afl the uses in one main building. The existing building was to be
removed and a new building was to be constructed in the same general location as the existing
building.
The plan included a new base facility containing: public lockers, employee lockers, condorninium
~ 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 IVeighborhaod 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 Town 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 nevu modular building, adjacent to the existing winter-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 P?ssociates 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.
f:\everyon e\pec\memos\gpeak. n27

~
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
allow 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 Vail 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 i
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. TransportatioNCirculation 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.

r
~ At the end of this meeting it was suggested that joint working meetings be held with the
applicant, the applicant's 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:
A. 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. Managed 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 revieuv schedule.
On September 11, 1995 a vuorksession 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 worksession 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 worksession was 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 IPI EVALUATING THIS PROPOSAL
The following criteria and findings shall be used in the evaluation of the proposed 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 sales, 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 Iocations
near the chair lift.
2. Is the amendment proposal presenting a convenient, 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 orderly and vuable
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
relationship among land uses.

4. Vs the proposed rezoning consistent with 4he Va61 Land IJse Plan?
• StafiE Res op nse:
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 the existing Ski Base/Recreation Zone District, which is in compliance with 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:
9. VaaB Lanc9 Use PBaeo
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 grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance betvueen residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and permanent resident.
Goal 1.3 The quality of development shoutd 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
more efficiently.
Goal 2.3 The ski area owrner, 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 facifities.
Goal 2 To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic
heaVth 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 that
is compatible with these established land use patterns.
2.5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and
maintenance of existing lodging antl 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 xype 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 new
development.
~ 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 Master Plan recognizes that the site will redevelop, given the approval of the
1985 redevelopment plan, with the statement: "Redevelopment will attract additional
traffic and population into ihis 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 proposa(:
Tennes couc4s ampacted by the redevelopment sha91 be re9ocated 'on the area (or an
Ford Park)o
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 with VA. The VRD has agreed to
release VA from the lease for monetary compensation, which 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 activ6ty at 4his sote shoaald be limi4ed to "ska base/recreationaB°" uses.
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*nUnemoslgpeak.n27
16
Addi4ional parking for any facilities to be provided on site.
Although the revised development plan wili provide mare tatal 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 4o be addressed to allow
4or 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 invoived
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 this 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 profile (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. Transportation 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\pec\memos\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. VVith 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 Town 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
two-level parking facility with one level provided below existing grade.
0 The existing VVest Day Lot and the fVorth Day Lot should also be
considered, in conjunction with Vait Associates, for a possible two-level
parking facility vuith one level partially depressed belovu 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.
Streetscape Iwaster P9aP9
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 Meadouv 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, while accommodating the
f:\everyone~pecVnemoslgpeak.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 Ch'ildren'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 applicanYs
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 witl 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 o4 the Golden Peak area
offers a unique opportunity for the neighborhood, and the Town as a whole,
to work together with Vail Associates to accomplish all of the
recommendations suggested in the Streetscape IUlaster 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\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
19
side shouBd be a concrete unBt paver vualkway, eught to ten feet wide and the
east and north side should also be a coeacrete unit paver sidevNalk, five to sitt
feet wisBe.
Staff Analysis:
Vail Associates is proposing to construct an eight-foot wide concrete paver
walkuvay along the west 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 walkway 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
Ramshorn. 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 Towrn Council.
~ Staff recommends that the sidewalk on this side of Vail Valley Drive be
constructed of concrete unit pavers.
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
A9ong @lai6 VaB6ey Drive, from AAanor Vail's narth eratry to the soccer fietd, an
efight to ten-foog wide concrete unit waBkway is recommeraded on the south
side o4 the roatG.
The P@an poants out that reta6ning w?alls wil9 be needed in some areas due 40
an 6nadequate raght-of-way and a hillside being immediately adjacent to the
roadway. There 6s r?o sidevvalk proposeci for the north side of the street due
to the tagh~ phys6caB constraints along the northerBy cight-of-way Bine.
TBae Piaat recmmmends thaY a sidewalk/crosswaik salution wall be necessary
$o provide safe pedestrian access through the Golden Peak bus turnarourac9
area.
Staff P?naly,sis:
Vail Associates is proposing to continue the pedestrian walkway 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 !ot 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\pecVnemos\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 Pfan, from the Children's Center to the
Soccer Field.
StreetscaN 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 system. Manor Vail's entry to Ford Park should
include additioraaf 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 NBaster Plan Recommendation
Additional minor pedestrian paths, either concrete or asphalt, are proposed
as follows:
An easUwest comnection between Vail Valley Drive and the existing ~
recreational trail west of the Tivoli.
A path north of the tennis courts to the north entry of the Gold Pea9c ski base
facility.
Staff Analysis:
The applicant's Streetscape Upgrade Plan does reflect a four foot wide asphalt
path connecting Vail Vatley 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.
Streetscaqe Master Plan Recommendation
Consider eliminating the win4er-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 the development of a pocket park/open
space area was a part of the 1985 development ptan, it is not proposed in
conjunction with this redevelopment plan. For the past two ski seasons, the Town ~
has eliminated (by pfowing snow across the entry) the winter-time parking use on
Chalet Road.
f:\everyonelpecUnemos\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 Master Plan Recorrimendation
Two srnal9 landscaped plazas are proposed at the south entry to Fork park
and at the pount where Vail Valley Drive turns to the eas$ at AAill Creek Circle.
On eaCh Case the un4ent us to Ceeate a $oCBB point that BCCents these IOCBtsOns.
At the FoPa1 Patk entrance, a handicap drop-off as needec9 an addition to
concrete ueuBt pavers, seating and landscaping. These irnprovements wrill
increase the vis6bility and usefulness of this important access to Ford Park
andl the PIa4uPe Center.
A smal6 plaza w6th Bandscaping at the Vail Valley Drive/AAil9 Creek Circle
6ntersectBOn is entended to provide a"pivot point" for pedestrians moving
metween the Nillage parking structure and the (aolden Peak ski base facility.
Current9y there as no visual connection betweera these two facilities. Ira order
to d6scourage aannecessary vehicular traffic on Mil9 Creek Circle,
consiaierat6on should be given to narrowBng the intersection with Vail Valley
• DB'9!!e.
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 Mill Creek
Circle should be designed as suggested in the Streetscape Master Plan. This
Plan shows the sidewalk 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 shows a landscape island in the center of the plaza. Staff believes
that additional work 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 Meadow Drive would seem to be an appropriate example of the type of
improvements that should be provided in this area.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
22
Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation
It is proposed that the Children's Center bus stop be relocated to the •
northeast of the Golden Peak ski base facility for two 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 Master Plan Recommendation
The westbound bus stop that is presently located on Vail Valley Drive near ~
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 furnishirags.
Staff Analysis: The applicanYs 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.
~ i
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
23
A nevu landscape planter is proposed in front of the Vorlaufer and at the corner of
~ Hanson Ranch Road. Three streetscape benches are shown at the Mill Creek
Circle Plaza.
Staff recommends that "Village" light fixtures be provided on both sides of the
entire length of Vail Valley Drive.
S4reetscape Master Plan Recommendation
Recon#igurung the parking at the Vorlaufer to provide for a pedestrian
walkway mn the wes4 sude of Vai9 Valley Drive. Of the 12 existing spaces, tvvo
"gaaesq" parkBng spaces for the Vorlaufer may need #o be relocated to the
eas4 side of Vail Val6ey Dreve. The final design shall ensure that there 6s no
net 9oss of parking spaces for the Vorlaufer.
Staff Analysis:
The current proposal allows for the addition of an eight foot wride pedestrian
walkway on the. wrest 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, vuill require modifications to the
existing planters and retaining walls in the area.
Stree4scape Master Plan Recommendation
~ W6denang of the Vail Valley Drave bridge over Gore Creek to better
accommodate the proposed pedesirian waikwrays.
Staff Analysis:
The applicant's 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 Recommendati n
Add a "neck down" at the east end of Fianson Ranch Road (at VaiB Valley
Dreve)o 4his narrowing of the roadway siiscourages unnecessary traffic and
provides aea opportun64y for additional landscapinge
Staff Analysis:
The applicant is proposing to carry out this recommendation of the Streetscape
Master Plan.
surnmam
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 applicant's Streetscape Upgrade Plan that are contradictory to the
f:\everyone\pec\memoslgpeak.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; ~
• Develop a master plan that will allow for all types of non-motorized use in
a safe, efficient manner; and
• Produce a final report that will be a working document 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 the 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 implementation 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*c\nemos\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 street/pedestrian trail should be located directly through
the Golden Peak Ski Base property from the Mill Creek Circle/Vail Valley Drive
intersection to iVorthwoods and Pinos Del fVorte 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 vuide bike lane on
each side of Vail Valley Drive.
The proposed rec9eveloprnent of the Golden Peak Sk6 Base appears to carry
ou4 a naumber of the cecoratmendations in the Recreation Trails Master Plara.
Specifically, a new 4railhead sign wilB be constructed and the Vail Trail is
~ intended tm be extended through the Goldera Peak property to the west. The
applucaeot has indicated that the exact alignment of the Vail Trail extension be
contingent upon U.S. Forest Service approval of their summer mountaira bike
and pedestrian plara. The ienprovements 4o Vaii VaBley DrBve, recomrnended
6n the Master Plan from the Children's Center to the east, are not proposed
to be accompiishec8 iro conjunction with the Golden Peak application, as it is
the appGocant's opinion that the redevelopment of Golden Peak does not have
any relationship to the need for pedestriara improvements along Vail Valley
Drive east of the ChBldrero's Center.
Staff recommerads tha4 the Vail Trail extension to the west be completed,
prBor go the ossuance of a Temporary Certificate ot Occupancy for the Golden
Peak baaiod'ong and that the applicant provide the drawings necessary for the
Town to coaas$raact a sidewa9k $rorn the Children's Cen4er to the Soccer Field.
6. Comprehensive Opera 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;
f:\everyone\pecMemos\gpeak.n27
26
• To identify creative strategies to implement the acquisition and protection
program; ~
• To define a management system to appropriately manage Town-owned open
space lands; and
• To buffer neighborhoods with open space.
The recommendations contained in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan that are
applicable to the proposed Golden Peak Ski Base Redevelopment are as follows:
~ 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 centers 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. ~
~ 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. Development 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:
~
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.n27
27
1. The deve9oper waBV provade a buffer zone in areas where the Ske Base/Recreation
~ district boundary os adjacent to a residential use district boundaoy. The buffer zone
must be Bcept free of buildings or strucfures and must be landscaped, screened to
protect 6t by natura6 featccres so that adverse eifects on the surrounding areas are
minarnozed. This may require a buffer zone of sufficient size to adequately separate
the proposed use from the surrounding properties Bn Berms of vBsual privacy, nobse,
adequate 9ight, air, aur po6lution, s6gnage and other comparable poeentiaily
9EVCOmpat9bIe $aC$OPS.
Staff ReSpOP9Se°
The revised development plan indicates that a buffer area has been provided where the
Ski Base/Recreation Zone District boundary is adjacent to a residential use district
boundary.
Specifically, along the western property 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, writh
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, which 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.

Sgaff 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 Chifdren's Center. The proposed redevelopment
plan includes 30 short -term spaces located on the inside curve of the relocated bus drop-
off lane. Although Vail Associates' traffic consultant recommended a total of 33 - 36
spaces, it would appear that site limitations are such that only 30 spaces are all that can
be provided.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
28
Although some PEC members 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 ideniified 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 intertere 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 witl be used during non-peak hours, as defined in the Operational
Management Ptan, 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 opero space in terms of: optimum preservation of natural features
(including trees and drainage areas), recreation, vievds, 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. ~
f:\everyone~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.
Views from surrounding properties will not be detrimentally impacted with this new
building. Generally, the proposed base lodge building will be no higher than the building
approved in 1985.
4e barBety in terms o$e houssng type, densities, facilities and opera space9
Staff Res onsee
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
overtlovv and six residential dwelling units.
VUhile there is no variety in terms of housing types or densities proposed on the Golden
Peak site; Vail Associates has committed to continue to vuork 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, staif recornmends that as a condition of
approda9 for tFae Go9den Peak Sk6 Base, Vai! Associates patticipate in 4he next Torwn
of Vai0 housing proflect, uov accordance with the existing agreement adentifsed in the
TO!!/!!A agreemen4.
5e Pravacb in 4erms of the needs of: individuals, famil6es and neighbors;
Staff Resp nse
VVith the exception of the neuv condominium units, the newr base facility, and
accompanying activity, will occur awray from adjacent residential properties and should
not interfere with their privacy.
f:\everyone\pecUnemos\gpeak.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 the public areas of the building.
6. Pedestrian traffic in terms of: safety, separation, convenience, access to
points of destination, and attractiveness;
Staff Response• 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 the 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 terms of: appropriateness to density, site relationship, and
bulk.
Staff Resppnse:
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 applicant's need for the additionat 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 architecYs attempts to break up the boxiness of the structure has been
successful on many portions of the elevations, however, the staff continues to be
specifically 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 sides
of the building. We believe that this would reduce the mass and bulk of the building
from the two areas of the site which are proposed to receive the largest number of
g uests.
~
f:\everyone\pec\memos\gpeak.n27
31
Bea an atternpt to further monirnize the mass and bulk o$ the build6ng, staff w?ould
• recommerad that the large, third floor dormers on the east and south elevations be
paa@Bed back. We be9seve that this would provide more of a pedestrian scale to the
east and soutb eledations and we believe if would not compromise 4he interior
spaces (GRFA) of the condoenanaurns.
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 allowr 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. Larodscaping o$ the to4aB site 6n terms of: purposes, types, maintenarace,
suitaba664y, and effect on fhe neighborhood.
Staff Response:
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 betvveen 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 will 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 west eleva4oon of the base 9odge, staff recomrnends that additional evergreero
4rees be added to the area between the parkang structure and the main building.
Staff a9so Pecommends 4hat the Planning and Environmental Comrnission and the
Des6gn Review Board take a detai9ed Sook at the overall plara to deterrnine if ghere
are oppoctunlt6es $or additional landscaping, especially in the Ch6ldren's Center
drop-off aote

D. Criteria for Approving.the Multi-Family Dwellings
As required in Chapter 18.39.010 (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 ienpacts 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 woufd 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 capacity 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 Vait Valley Drive, we are concerned with the location of the attendant booth at the
enirance 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.

3. Effect upon $raffac, with particular reference to congestion, automotBve
~ and pec9esqrian safety arad convenience, traffic flow and control,
access, maeoeuverability, and remova9 of snouv $rorn the streets and
pack6ng 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 abie to be predicted through design. With 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 the character of the area Bn which the proposeal use is to be
9ocaged, one6ud'ong the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relaYion $o
surrounding uses.
Staff Response°
VVith 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 untler which the applicant is
attempting 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 envetope that is very similar to the plan approved in 1985,
on vuhich the protective covenants are based. Staff believes that too much emphasis of
the newr Golden Peak Base lodge is be+ng 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 Review 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 18.60.060B (Findings for Conditional Use Permits) before permitting multi-family
units vvithin the main building. These required findings are as follows:
1e That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of
this title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located;
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would 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
34
.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this titie. •
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Upon review of the Criteria and Findings identified in Section tV of this memorandum,
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 Vail/VA 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 Pubiic 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 western 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, howrever, since
the landscape plan requires Design Review Board final approval, these comments
can be addressed at that time.

• A summary of the TDA and RRC reports
TDA Analysis
- Existing conditions base data was compiled by severai methods. Automatic
, traffic count recorders were placed along Vail Valley Drive from UVednesday,
December 28th through Friday, the 30th, Christmas week, 1994. Manual counts
and video observations were recorded on Friday, the 30th during the morning
(8:15-10:15am) and afternoon (3:15-5:00pm). All vehicular and pedestrian
movements to and from the Golden Peak Base Facifity 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, vuith 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
Meadow 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 shows 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 Town shuttle is responsible for an equal number of arrivals, 300 persons, yet
it represents just 3% of all vehicle trips.
~l
- The parking lot, skier drop-off area and Children'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 •
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 skie'r 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 s#ill 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. Ai 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 Valtey Drive north of Golden Peak
' ~
and 7% from the east afong Vail Valley Drive. The Ford Park Path, intermingled
with Manor Vail guests, accounted for 14% of the walk-ins.
~ - Tvuo 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 time. In April, 150 people
arrived to Golden Peak via this route in the AM peak hour.
- The Golf Course route runs every 30 minutes cannecting 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 exist+ng 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 coriflicts, 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 Survev
- Among the overatl 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-l'own 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-two 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"most" or "all 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, to 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 EIWChina 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 nllountain. .
- 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
~
e ,
d
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 Galden peak would 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
Tovun bus system, but also on the passenger loading and unloading areas at
Golden Peak as vuell. 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 tn-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 interviewed at all of the various
on-mountain restaurants at Vail.

P
A reality that must be recognized in ezamining the creation of infrastructure ~
and operational systems for Golden Peak or Vail at llarge is that both the ski '
company and the greater Vail comrnunity. are engaged in the winter and summer
resort business. For reasons beyond the complete control of the community the
demands far and use of resort goods and services will always be subject to specifac or
isolated events such as the Christmas holiday or a world class competitive or
cultural event. Events such as these will by necessity mean that Vail will egperience
surges or, peaks of visitor use that may be mitigated, but will not be enterely
overcome or eliminated by investrreent in Inard assets. To the egtent that such high
demand events tax the capacity of our systems and our collective patience, we r¢iust
also acknowledge that these events, if well managed, are also what give us. life,
vitality,,excitement and special appeal. •
It is the effort to "manage well" that leads to the creation of this plan. In its
application VA has proposed significant physical improvements to the Golden Peak
portal. These include:
- doubling the skier drop off zone capacities;
- improving drop of$' flow and function;
- giving locational primacy to public transit;
- structuring and landscaping private auto parking;
- 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 pertinernt to note that in the Agreememt "Peak ~
Periods" are def ned as:
Christmas Peak: That period which eztends between December 26 and
December 31;
and
Hagh Season: That period which includes Presidents' Weekend and each
weekend beginning the third weekend in February through the end of
March.
"Nonpeak Periods" are def ned as:
Those periods falling outside of the Christmas Peak and High Season and
which normally anclude the early ski season, Thamksgiving, the pre-
mid-February period, and the late s9ce ~
Christmas Period, the January to
season.
" Another pertinent concept in the Managed Growth Agreement is the
benchmark capacity of the mountain which has been defined as 19,900 skiers at one
time ("SAOT"). The theory behind the Managed Growth Agreement ns to
implement tiers of management techniques to control infrastructure demands and
operations at or below the 19,900 SAOT threshold. An additional facgor for
consideration is the design day standard for Golden Peak planning studies and
infrastructure assessment which is 15,000 SAOT, a typical skier day count for the

7Caken together these total 148 spaces for drop off and parking. Presently the ~
surface lot egisting at Golden Peak holds approgimately 150 automobiles or less
dePending on the amount of snow storage on the lot and the efficiencies of car
storage. Of these 150 spaces roughly 18-20 are used by ernployees; Spraddle Creek
ProPerty Owners reserve and utilize 8 spaces; 4 spaces are used 4'0r Cross Country
Ski Van pick-up and drop-off; and approgianately 118 spaces are available for use
by the skiing public for a fee.
Parking requirements for the Ski Base/Recreation District are addressed in
Section 18.39.230 of the Vail Ordinances which reads: .
"Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 18.52
and/or as specified on the Approved Development Plan."(emphasis supplied)
~
The ?anguage of this section permits and contemplates a parking function and
design unique to this district aced its development plan. In response to this umique
environment the parking structure proposed in this plan consists of 148 parking
spaces (including 5 handicapped or ADA spaces) located at or below the street
elevation and landscaped across the top to provide an aesthetic benefit to the
development and the surrounding neighborhood. The fundamental concept of the
organization and management of these parking spaces, the equivalent of a Tier I
management techn6que, is to create a managed or reserved "right to park"
mechanism desagned to control the availability and use of the spaces and hence cut
down on indascriminate traffic flows while providing for and paying for the aesthetic

approximately 2 members to every parking space. These,members would call the •
arking manager more than 24-hours in advance to reserve their use of available
P
spaces. A reservation list from among the members would be compiled daily for tlhe
management of entry access by personnel stationed in the attendant booth at the
entry ta the structure. Access anto the structure would be permitted upon
presentation of a photo I.D. identifyang the bearer as a member and a confirmataon
of a reserved parking space on the parking avai9ability list.
In the event that alll parkirng spaces are not fully reserved and utilized by the
club members, VA, as operator of tlae facility, reserves the right at any time of the
• year to utilize unreserved spaces for other guests, members of the skiing public,
employees or other persons who li9cewise must call and reserve a space less than 24-
non-members would be permitted only ~
hours in advance. This short-notsce use by
on a daily basis by reservation. However, this managed operational feature evould
' ezpand the availabte user groups and increase the utilization of the structure an non-
peak peraods without adding appreciable, unvvanted traffic. Further, if the utility of
the structure can be maxnmized by offering additional nnemberships for sale, VA wi11
do so after the first year of operation establishes typical occupancies.
M. SKIER DROP OFF
Skier drop off occurs presently on the east side of the egistnng Golden lPeak
structure and 'ammediateiy to the north of the Children's Center. Ezisting
conditions provide for 21 head-in spaces adjacent to the Children's Center arnd 10

may be needed to prevent congestion or vehicle stacking into Vail Valley •
Drive or the bus lane. During these periods and times, except for special
events, VA will permit parking by the general public in the drop-off zone
surface spaces consistent with the practice and use of other VA parking lots
such as North Day lot.
4. Permanent, static, signage at the top of Blue Cow Chute will be installled
by TOV indicating that there is no public parking at Golden Peak arnd that
only Children's Center and skier drop off is permitted.
5, In Section V(page 25) of the Agreement additional skier drop off zones
have been identified as "pressing current transportation and circulation
needs". VA will gherefore cooperate with the TOV in identifying additional
~
skier drop offf zones elsewhere in the town including Ford Park, the M[ain
Parking Structure, Lionshead, and other locations which will be formaluzed
' and improved by the Town of Vail. Initially TOV will develop and
implement a plan for general skier drop on the upper deck of the
Transportation Center utilizing ezisting physical improvements and facilnties.
6. Upon the conclusion of each Peak Period and ski season the Assessment
Committee or its designee, will specifically assess access to and egress from
the mountain at Golden Peak, together with traffic and drop off impacts
associated with the skier movements and will make recommendations for

Iy; EMPLOYEE PAItKING
Presently 18 to 20 VA employees Park at Golden Peak of the approgimately .
500 employees who are based there in Peak Periods. Another 25 to 30 spaces are
. seasonally leased by VA from third parties for employee parking. The remaining
90% of Golden Peak based employees park in public lots, use pubtuc transit, or use
other private parking spots.
A, Tier I. The following management techniques will be impleinemted
ment to mitigate employee transpoe-tation
sequentially upon redeve9op
impacts and serve the needs of the coinmunity's employees:
1. VA, together with TOV, will enter into negotiations with the Colorado
ployee park and •
Department of Transportation to secure, if possible, an em
ride intercept lot on Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail. This lot would be used for VA
and TOV eRnployees to park their vehicles in Eagle-Vail and utilize
tablished public transportation routes to conQinue on to their job locations
es
in Vail. In the event the CDOT site is not available or unsuitable, other sites
wi91 be located and secured for a park and ride lot.
2. To the extent space availability egists during non-peak periods, V. A. will
ermit managed employee parking by reservation in the parking structure at
P .
Golden Peak.

i
until 4•00 p.m.) to spread out the departure times of skiers 6rom the
mountain.
" 2. Employee passes will be restricted during the Cinristmas Peak and
Presidents' weekend.
3. Improvements to the food and beverage offering at the base facility
restaurant, irncluding apres ski and dinner offerings, will be designed to

1, The DEVO program does not run during the Christmas Peak or mver
Presidents' Weekend. The progratn will continue to be lemited in ghis
fashion.
2. Arrivals for the DEVO program will be staggered in advance of the
typical ski school or mountain opening times. DEVO arraval will be
~ scheduled for 8:30 a.m., oa?e-half hour prior to lift opening. Pick up will
likewise be scheduled earlier than regular mountain closure. ~
3. Drop off for DEVO will be formalized and managed by DEVO instructors
in the Golden lPeak skier drop off zones to prevent stacking into the streets.
4. VA will investigate splitting the DEVO program further and masing some
portion of the program in Lionshead or staging it at other drop off zones.
For egample, moving the Freestyle Program, approgimately 15% of tlne
DEVO skiers, to another drop off zone such as the TOV structure will be
exPlored and implemented if alternate drop offs are created. Staging IDEVO
out of the Lionshead Teen Center will also be egplored with TOV, including
the creation of short-term, 30 eaiinute, drop-off and pick-up parking spaces in
the Lionshead Parking Structure.

Snow unanagement at Golden Peak will be conducted in a manner similar to
that in other VA portals. Snow storage zones have been depicted upon the revnsed
snow storage map prepared and subrraitted with the Application.
(A.) Tier I. The following management efforts will be undertaken with
respect to snow storage and management during the ski season, including ~
peak and high season periods.
1. VA will by contract with third parties or through its own forces plow all
areas of vehicular circulation as depicted on the Snovv Management Plan by
6 a.m. every morning upon a snowfall of 4 or more inches.
2. VA, through its own forces, will remove snow from sidewaflks and plaza
areas depacted upon the Snow Management Plan by means of a bobcat, an

~
gate starts per year; and corporate/club training events add 7,500 nnore starts per •
year. Actual racing starts for these three user groups are approzimately 15,000 gate
_ starts per year for Ski Club Vail, with an additional 2,000 starts per year for local
high school programs, and 10,000 starts per year for corporate and club racing.
These total roughly 102,000 gate starts per year and average 4.5 ski racing events
ger week. Daily activity for ski racing typically commences at 8:30 a.m. ared
continues until 4:30 p.m. Of these race events tivo or three major tetevised edents
;
occur each year, not all of which are headquartered out of the Golden Peak course.
These include the Pro Tour, FIS World Cup and North American Trophy Series
races. In 1999 the World Championships will be held at Vail and opening
ceremonies are scheduled for Golden Peak. Race starts and demand for training
space have been growing steadily for the past decade. •
Special Events which occur at Golden Peak, an addntion to the routine racing
programs, include various snowboarding events which draw typically 100 to 250
people, the U.S. Pro Tour which draws about 500 people, and~ Hot Winter Nights
evemts which draw 500 to 1000 people typically in February and March and up to
3000 people during the Christmas holiday.

~ear Ladies aad Gent1emen:
Iam the owaer of a condominium unit in VaBt Trails Chalet, and have been a
part-time resideng of Vafl faP ~~~e dm 20 years. Because of the many
rhanges in MY neighborhood, g understand that e' ' g the, bus stop
across from the Vorlaufer is being considered. T'hat would cx~ate a serimus
harrdship for all of the Yesidents in the area; not oraly the residents of Vail
Trails C;halet, Vai1 T'ra.ls Fme, and the Four Season.s, but also those residents
and visgtors Rwther c$st along the path to Ford Park, such as tha Wxen
• Ap ents. Many families count on that bus stop tO travel into town and
utilize the stares and restaurants. I be1ieve if peoplc had to wallk to the
transpoatation cent~r they rrLight choose nat toA aad the impact on businesses
in the vila~e wouId be, negative.
Ibelieve tha$ the value af vur propertjr is cnhanced b'Y the prox=''ty of a bus stop. '%he eliminatioa of that stap could reduce the valuc of hornes axd
condominiums an the area. I a1so urge that the oastbound stop at the C°ratl$ton
. be rnaintained as we119 for a11 the reasons I previously ci4ed in geverse.
Thanks fop your 6onsiderataon, and I hope you will vote to ffiaintain the

T0: Pianning and Environmental Commission ,
FROM:. Community Development Department
DATE: iVovember 27, 1995
SUBJECT:. A request for a Condifional Use Permit to allowr for a"quasi-public club" in the
Commerciat Core I Zone District to be located on the 3rd and 4th floors o# the
Serrano's Building located at 298 Hansen Ranch Road/Lot C, Block 2, Vail Village
. 1 st Fifin9- . .
Applicant: Margaretta B. Parks, represented by Glen Heelan
Planner: Jim Curnutte
0. BAClCGRAUND AND DESCRIPTION OF TFIE RE@IJEST
Glen Heelan, on behalf of Yhe building owner, has requested PEC approval of a Conditional Use
Permit iiin order to construct a"quasi-public club" in the Commercial Core I(CCI) Zone DistricY, to
be loca:1ed on the 3rd and 4fih floors of the recently approved new Serrano's Building,. located at
298 Hansen Ranch Road. The Town of Vail Municipal Code defines a quasi-public.use
differenBJy from a use thaf is entirely private or public. For the PEC's information, the code
defines these uses as follows:
- Private - "Private" means a use, area, property or facility which is not public. (Ord.
. 21(9994), § 5.)
- Public - "Public" means a use, area, property or facility which:
A. Is owned and operated by a governmental entity, and
functions or is available for use by all persons whether with
or without charge; or
B. Is owned or operated by a person or entity other than a
. governmental entity, and functions or is available for use by
, all persons writhout charge. (Ord. 21(1994) § 6.)
- Quasi-Public "Quasi-public" means a use vuhich is characterized by its availability to
the public, with or without cost, but which is conducted by an entity,
organization, or person which is not a governmental entity. (Ord. 21(1994)
§ 1.600.)
A"quasi-public club" is not specifically IisYed as a permitted or conditional use in the CCI Zone
,DistricY. Near the end of tG~te list of conditional uses, however, is a statement which a((ows for
. addition. al uses..de.terminefl..Yn.be. similar to. the..permitted. and.conditional uses described above."
Staff has determined that the proposed quasi-public club is "similar" to two of the eating and
drinking: establishments listed as conditional uses (above the 2nd floor) in the CCI Zone District.
These uses are "cocktail Imunges and bars" and "restaurants." Since staff has determined that
these us;es are similar to the proposed quasi-public club, the applicant has proceeded to apply
for a Comditional Use Perm6$. Additionally, staff will use these categories in order to determine
the partdng requirement fioir the club. f:\every=ne\pec\mamos\serranos.n27 ~

~
~e p~„~,~n more detail in Section II (Background) of this memo, the ProJ'ect developer, Glen
yqn&eTe"lan, recenUy received PEC approval (March 13,1995) to. demolish the existing Serrano's
Building and reptace it with a new structure. The approved uses on the 3rd floor of the new
building include two offices and a portion of a residential condominium. The remainder of the
condorninium would be located on the fourth floor of the building. The new concept is to use the
3rd and 4th floors exclusively for a quasi-public club. The club owners will be offering their
members not only the traditional ski storage (in the basement), but also areas of comfort and
relaxation together with an array of services. The applicant has indicated that club members
would have the ability to ski down to the base of the mountain, give their skiis to the ski valet,
and enter the club. Here they would have the luxury of taking off their boots, sitting down by the
fireplace in a quiet atmosphere to relax in the comfort of their "mountain living room." They might
enjoy the refreshment of their choice, make a couple of phone calls, check the stock market,
send a fax, hold a meeting or host a dinner party for their family, friends, or business associates.
It is anticipated that the 3rd floor of the building would be used for: _ A. Personal lockers, steam room and showers (similar to a private golf club where
bags are stored elsewhere);
B. Office space for building and club operations; .
C. Lounge area where members could have a drink, make a call, send a fax; and
D. Up to three meeting and/or dining rooms.
The 4th floor is anticipated to be the "living room on the mountain." This is an area where
members could sit by the fire and relax, meet with friends and family, have an appetizer and a -
drink.
This Conditiona! Use Permit request does not involve -any exterior changes to the previousl}r
approved building.
The or'rginal approval of the Serrano's redevelopment included a restaurant and a"private club"
on the 2nd floor of the building. The applicant has indicated that that portion of the 2nd floor
currently labeled as private club, will be used as additional dining for the 2nd floor restaurant.
Since this entire area was calculated as a restaurant for parking purposes, there will be no
additional impacts associated with the proposed change in use. II. 113e4CKGROUND
On March 13, 1995, Glen Heelan, the project developer, received PEC approval to demolish the
existing Serrano's Building and replace it with a new structure. (Please see attachment #1, site
plan, elevation drawings and floor plans of the approved building). The building program
included:
Commercial uses..andea.potential nightclub._in the basement. • Retail uses on the 1 st floor.
Restaurant uses on the 2nd floor.
• Two offices and a portion of a condominium on the 3rd floor.
• The remainder of the condominium on the 4th floor.
~
f:\everyone\pec\memos\serranos.n27 2
In adcfiljon to these uses, walkway and landscape improvernents on the north, east and south
sides of the building vuere approved, as well as a 2nd floor outdoor dining deck over the Hansen
Rancta Road right-of-way.
To accomplish the above described proposal, a CCI Major Exterior Alteration and the following
variances uxere required: .
1. A setback variance for an 11-foot encroachment into the 30-foot stream
setback for Mill Creek (for the basement floor only);
2.. A variance for common area of 78.9% (35% is allowed by zoning).
Also, the following tnro conditional use permits were required:
9. An outdoor dining deck on the second floor; and
2. Office space on the third floor.
The project was reviewed and ultimately approved by the Vail Town Council and the Design
Review Board in the Spring of 1995.
,4lthough the applicant had intended to demolish the existing structure and begin construction of
the newr building in the spring of 1995, he was not able to adhere to Yhat schedule and
demolition/construction has been delayed until the spring of 1996. In the meantime, the applicant has reconsidered the previously approved uses of the 3rd and 4th floors of the
. building. •
On October 9, 1995, a worksession was held with the PEC to discuss this Conditional Use
Permit requesY. At thaY time, the applicant had intended to have the club be a"private" club. The
PEC was not receptive to the idea of a private club in the Village and the negative precedent that
may se$ and directed the applicant to explore other options. In response to that direction, the
applicant has amended the intended operations of the club so that the club would now be open
to the pa,blic (see attachment #2 for floor plans of the club). The applicant has indicated that the
public would be able to avail themselves of a number of options related to club services. For
example, the public could rent ski lockers in the club on a seasonal basis, pay a daily, weekly or
monthly access fee to use all, or a portion of, the club amenities, or pay a full membership fee
and accompanying annual dues. The applicant has also pointed out that the liquor license ,
associated with this club avill be the sarne as those granted to public restaurants and will not be a
private riquor license. .
On November 13, 1995, the PEC tabled this application anc9 requested that the Town Attorney provide a written opinion on the applicanY's right_to apply for the requested Conditional Use
Permit. See attached copy ofi the Towra Attorney's response to the PEC request.
W. CR9TERIA TO BE V9SE~ 1~9 EVALVJATING TFIIS PROPOSAL
Upon review of Sec4ion 18.60 - Conditional Use Permits, the Community Development
. Departrnen4 recommends approda0 of the conditional use permiY based upon the following
factors:
f:\everyone\pec\memos\serranos.n27 3
A. Consideration af Factors:
1. Relationship and irnpact of the use on the development objectives of
ttre Town.
Staff's Res onse - Staff is in support of the proposed use of the 3rd and
4th fioors of the Serrano's Building as a quasi-public club. It would appear
that the club has the potential to provide more activity and interest in the .
Valage than would be provided by one residential dwelling unit and two
office spaces.
. Additionally, staff believes that the proposed Conditiona! Use Permit
request would serve to carry out the fotlowing goals, policies and
objectives of the Vail Village Master Plan:
24 Objective: Encourage the development of a variety of a new
. commercial activity where compatible with existing
land uses.
~ 2A.1 Policy: Commercial in-fill development consistent with
established horizontal zoning regulations shall be
encouraged to provide activity generators,
_ accessible greenspaces, public plazas, and
• streetscape improvements to the pedestrian
network throughout the Village.
7-4.2 Policy: Activity that provides night life and evening
entertainment for both the guests and the
community shall be encouraged.
2:5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovatiori and .
maintenance of existing lodging and commercial _
facilities to better serve the needs of our guests.
. IrT #he CCI Zone District, "meeting rooms" may be approved, as a
Conditional Use, only in the basement or garden level and on the 2nd level
of'a building. They are not allowed, as a permitted or conditional use, on
. the 1 st floor or street level or any level of a building above the 2nd floor.
Since the applicanYs request includes the proposed use of a portion of the
3rd floor for meeting and/or dining rooms, staff was concerned with
aulborizing a use which is specifically prohibited on this level of a building
in the CCI Zone District. The applicant has responded to staff's concern
by committing that the.meeting rooms will be used solely by club
rnp-mbers, and therefore, can be considered.as accessory to the functions
ot the quasi-public club. The club members, as a group, will not rent the.
rooms to the general public.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
. tramsporta4ion facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilBties needs.

SYaff Response - Staff believes that the proposed change in use from
residential and office use Yo a quasi-public club wiil have no negative effect
ora any of the above listed criteria.
3e Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestions automo4ide
pedestrian safety and convenience, trafific flow and control,
access, enaneuverability, anc6. remova8 of srtow frorn the street and
pae-king areas.
SYadf Res nse - Staff believes Yhat the proposed change in use from
residential and office use to a quasi-public club uvill have no negative effect
ora any of the above listed criteria. ~
EffecY upon the character of the area on aNhich the proposed use is to
be flocated, incBuding the sca9e and bulk of the proposed aase an
relation to surrrounci6ng usese
Sta#f Res onse - As mentioned previously, there will be no external '
changes made in conjunction with this proposed change in approved uses.
of the 3rd and 4th floors of the Serrano's Building. Therefore, there will be
no changes in the scale and bulk of the building previously reviewed and
approved by the PEC, Town Council and Design Review Board. 1Nith
regard to the change in use and its effect on the character of the area,
staff believes that the proposed change from one large residential
coridominium unit and tvvo small office spaces, to a quasi-public club,
cotgd have the effect of providing more activity and therefore a livelier fieel
to tihe Village, which is a goal of the Tovvn.
B. Fk irt
The Planwiflg and Environmental Commission shalB make the following findin,.gs
be9ore g nting a conditional use p-ermit:
1. 'fhW the proposed location of the use is in accord with the purposes of the
conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the d'asffiict in which the site is located.
2. Tta# the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
,would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public .
hea3th, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
irnprovements in the vicinity.
3. Thai the proposed_ use would comply with each of the applicab?e
. pardisions.of She condiiional. use per.mit.section of. the zoning code.
C. AdcliYional Crigeria tor consideration of Conditional l?se Permit aqmlications in
the CCO Zone Districft
In addition to the standard Conditional Use Permit Criteria and Findings listed in
f:\everyone\pec\mmmos\serganos.n27 5
'e
paragraphs A and B above, applications for a Conditional Use Permit within the
CC I Zone District must address the following additional development factors:
1. Effects of vehicular traffic on Commercial Core I District;
Staff ResAOnse - The proposed change of approved uses on the 3rd and
. 4th floors of the Serrano's Building, from a dwelling unit and office space
to a quasi-public club, would not appear to have a negative effect on
velhicular traffic in the CC I Zone District. The loading and delivery traffic
- associated with -the club will be accommodated by the same loading and
deEvery vehicles associated with the restaurant already approved on the
second level of the building and should not result in additional traffic
impacts.
2. _ Reduction of vehicular traffic in Commercial Core 1 District;
~aff Response - The proposed change in use would not appear to cause
a reduction, or increase, in vehicular traffic in the CCI Zone District.
' 3. Reduction of nonessential off-street parking; • %aff Response - The proposed change in use would not reduce, or
irxrease non-essential off-street parking. There is currently no off-street
parking associated with this property.
4. Qontrol of delivery, pick-up and service vehicles;
Staff Res~ponse - As mentioned in staff's response to criteria #1 above,
sta#f believes that there will be no increase in the number of delivery, pick-
up ar service vehicles associated with the proposed club.
The food and beverage elements associated with the club appear to be
ruinimal and can be accommodated through the deliveries that would
aAmady occur in relation to the restaurant on the 2nd level.
_ 5. 0?evelopment of pubtic spaces for use by pedestrians;
Staff Response - The proposed quasi-public club will have no effect,
positive or negative, on public spaces for use by pedestrians.
, 6. C.cntinuance of the various commercial, residential, and pubtic uses in
GaNmmercial Core I District so as to maintain the existing character of the
ar€a;
Staff Res onse - Staff believes that the proposed quasi-public club use -
---wcaiId continue the- various commercial andpublic uses in the CC I Zone
. District. Approval of the club would displace the previously approved
dwelling unit from the property, however, since the Serrano's Building
. does not currently have a dwelling unit in it, (only an approval for one large
ccandominium to be built), the proposed club will not change the xi 'n
character of the area. In staff's opinion, the replacement of the approved
ccndominium unit with a club is a positive change, as it would appear to
. . oftr the opportuniry to provide a more active and lively feel to the Village,
arrd to provide additional services and amenities for the Towrn's guests.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\ser:anos.n27 6
e
Q .
7. Control quality of construction, architectural design, and landscape design
in Commercial Core 9 District so as to maintain the existing character of
the area;
Staff Response - The applicant has stated that no exterior changes will be
made to the building in association with the proposed club. Staff was
corucerned however, that depending on the scope of the food service
element of the private club, it may be necessary to add additional
mechanical equipment related to any new or expanded kitchen area. In
response to this concern, the applicant has assured staff that all food
preparation activities associated with the club will be handled in the
kitchen of the restaurant, located on the 2nd floor of the building.
8. Efifects of noise, odor, dust, smoke, and other factors on the environment
of Commercial Core I District.
Staff Res ans - Staff believes that none of the elements listed above will
be a concern related to the proposed club use of the 3rd and 4th floor, with
the possible exception of noise. This issue was a concern during the initial
discussion of the building's redevelopment, related to the possible bar use
in the building. The solution to that discussion was fhat noise levels will
be adequately addressed through the Touvn's existing noise ordinances,
and staff beiieves those measures are appropriate for the proposed club
as well.
8V. STAFF RE~OAIINi~~~ATBON
Upon review of the Criteria and Findings outlined for review of Conditional Use Permit
applications in the CCI Zone DisVicY, staff recomrriends approval of the applicant's request
for a quas6-publac club oaa the 3rd and 4th lee?els of the Serrano's Building. Staff
recommends that the following conditions be attached to the conditional use permit approval of
the club:
As mentioned previously, the original approvaf of the Serrano's redevelopment
applicafion included a Conditional Use. Permit for two office spaces on the 3rd
floor. VVith the club's Conditional Use Permit application, the only office use
occurring on the 3rd or 4th fioors will be offices used by employees and staff for
`Ybuilding and club operafions.° Tlhe applicant has stated that this office space will not be rented 40 outside
piarties. The staff recommends that since the office Conditional Use PermiY
granted in the spring ofi 1995 is no longer necessary, it shall be considered null
and void upon the approval of the new "Club" Conditional Use Permit.
2• Once final floor plan drawings are provided for staff review, a parking analysis will
be- performed-in order-to detemnine if-there is an- incremental parking demand
associated duith the proposed quasi-public club, as compared to the previously
approved commercial office and residential uses on the 3rd and 4th levefs of the
building. Upon compleYion ofi the parking analysis, a parking pay-in-lieu fee may
be determined. This fee must be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for
the project.
Please note thaL under Section 18.60.080 (Permit Approval and Effect) of the Town of Vail
Municipal Code9 the approval shall lapse ifi construction is not commenced within two years of the
date of issuance and diligently pursued until completion, or if the use for which the permit is
grantedl is not commenced within two years.

REe I have been asked by the PEC fo provide an oPinion concerning the requesY for a Conditional Use
Permit on the thirci anc9 fourth floors of the Serrano's building. It is my understanding thaY the
applicant has applied for a Conditional Use Permi4 fo allow for personal lockers, steam room and
showers, office space for building and club operabons, drinking establishment, meeting and dining
roorns.
This use would be replacing the prior approval for a residential condominium on the third and fourth
floors of the building with_ office space on the third floor.
Secfion 18.24.050 B provides for eating and drinking esYablishments including cocktail lounges and
bars, coffee shops, foun4ain and sandwich shops, anci aestaurants above the second floor above
grade. These uses are subjecY to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the
provisions of chapter 18.60. A description of the proposed uses seem 4o meet this requiremen4 for
CC9. •
Though this application originally describecl a"private club" it has been amended by the applicant
to allow for availability to the public. This woulci qualify as a"quasi-public" use which is
charac4erized by its availability fo the public, with or vvathout cost, bu4 which is conducted by an
enti4y, organization, or person which is no4 a governanental entity. Section 18.04.282 of the
Municipal Code. .
An issue has been raised by the East Village Homeowner's Associa4ion characterizing 2his
applica4ion as inappropuia4e "because the proposal wi18 allow the building 4o becbme totally
commercial, the proposal is contrary 4o the purpose and inten4 of the zoning regulations and
supporting planning documenfs established for CC1 ancd CC2." Nlr. Lamohf relies upon a prologue
from a 1975 ordinance $o support his position.

yq03 ,
In 1981 the commercial core 1 district provision was amended to include the foilowing Purpose
Statement .
"The commercial core one district is intended to provide sites and to maintain the unique
character of the Vail Village commercial area, with its mixture of lodges and. commercial
establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The commercial core one
district is intended to insure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate
to the permitted types of buildings and uses. District regulations in accordance with the Vail
Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations prescribe site development
standards that are intended to insure the maintenance and preservation of the tightly cfustered arrangements (sic) of buildings fronting on pedestrian ways and public green
ways, and to insure continuation of the building scale and architectural qualities that
distinguish the building."-
The legistative intention that Mr. Lamont relies upon from Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1975, is not.
found in the above Purpose statement Likewise, there is no prologue in Ordinance No. 21, Series
of 198a, adopting the new Purpose statement that is consistent with that cited from 1975. Upon a
review of Chapter 18.24 and the Vail Village Master Plan, I can find no provisions which preclude
the granting of the Conditional Use Permit requested. The present building which is being replaced
does not, to my knowledge, contain residential units, lodges, dwelling units or accommodation units.
The Vail ViIlage Master Plan does contain the objective to increase the number of residential units
available for short term, overnight accommodations. The policy supporting that objective states:
"The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Residential
units that are developed above existing density levels are required to' be designed or
managed in.a manner that makes them available for short term, ovemight rental.°
While it might be appropriate to encourage this applicant to include an accommodation unit or units
within the development, I can find no authority requiring a residential use in this building.
I would be happy to respond furthet' as necessary. ~
Thank you.

The meeting was called to order by Bob Armour at 2:05
Kevin Deighan was not presenY. -
Mike Mo?lica asked for a Cornmission discussion and voYe on an issue with the VA temporary tent
in Lionshead.
Randy Sgouder staYed that the VA temporary tent is made of vinyi, rather than canvas (approved
material) and he felY that the PEC should review the change in fabric. He said there would also
be rougtn_ Iog siding on the fower portion of the tent. He asked ihe Commission to discuss the
material change. Jack Hunn said the current fent was not portable9 however, the fabric is of the same quality.
, DalYon !i!/i;liams had a problem with the rough wood siding and with the material change. He
stated thaY the wooci siding would make ihe tenY look like an old k+eat-up shed. Last year's
material was better. Dalton said to put back what was approved, the size cons4ruction.etc.
Jack Hunn said the new location was approved. Dalton Williams said last year's ten2 had ro11-up sides and the current tent with wood siding
prectudes tha$. VA is modifying an approval. He is not in favor of approving this change.
Jack Hunn saeci the rough siding was added fo give the tent a western look and character.
Randy Stouder also addec6 that staff recommended that the rough siding be added. .
Greg Moffet a.skeci if the same material from last year was still available. Jack Hu-nn saici that it was9 but it wouldi have to come from a different manufacturer and this
would gake more time. Jack requested going through one year looking like it does. They made a
mistake by puMing ihe shiny side ouY instead of the dull side. Three fabric samples were shown
to Yhe PEC. Jack sYated thaY sample #I was last years fabric, sample # 2 is this years, with the .
exception that the shiny sicie mistakenl}p was puY on the outside and can't be turned inside out at
this point. •

Dalton 1E6Tilliams said sample # 3 is acceptable: .
Greg Moffet'moved that the tent fabric be changed to.sample # 3 with the rough siding this year,
before Ghristmas. . GregAmsden seconded ihe motion. -
The vote was 5-1, with Dalton Wilfiams opposed, because the wood siding is not in the same*
tasie as the rest of Lionshead. ~
1. A request for a setback variance to allow for a residence under consVuction to encroach
- into the front setback located. at 2850 KinnickinnicWLot 6, Innsbruck Meadows
` Subdivision. ' .
: Applicant: Am. Bros. Development Inc., represented by Bob Borne
Planner: George Ruther
Greg.Amsden abstained from this item.
George Ruther gave an overview of the request and stated that in staff's opinion, Criteria A2 and
B1 had not been met and staff is recommending denial. Bob Bome, the applicant, expressed embarrassment and gave an apology for this error. He
stated that he has been doing this type of work for 35 years and this is the first time a surveyor
has done something like this. Bob Borne mentioned that he has established a new procedure in
his company because of this error. He explained that his company would request a preliminary
ILC everytime a foundation was located near a setback line. He feels with this new procedure, a
mistake tike this can be avoided in the future. This is a result of an error in the surveying
technique. The hardship of taking down the building is extreme and the punishment does not fit
the crime.
Bob Armour asked if the spacing between the buildings would be compromised.
Bob Bome said the lot lines are imaginary it would not compromise anything.
George Ruther asked if the building was pushed. back would it not encroach into the required
bui(ding separatio.n. . .
Bob Bome said no.
Henry Pratt recommended denial because he thought there may be a grant of special privilege.
Datton ldttilliams recommended denial because of special privilege. He stated that Bob Borne is
. in the business and should not make mistakes like this.
Jeff Bov+ven had nothing to add. . Greg Moffet recommended granting a variance with conditions as listed in the memo. Bob Arrreour noted that a letter that Bob Borne sent was now in the packet: Bob Armour said a
preliminary ILC adds another step in the already long process. He sees no harm in this building
• betng 3_5' in the setback and he is in favor of it. •Planning and Environmental Commission •

` Jeff made a motion for deniale -
,
Daltorn @Ptfilliams seconded the motion. . Dalton asked if he missed something similar thaY had been previously approved during meetings
in the past. Dalton said his concerns were that in his 6 years on the Board9 they made someone
take a iroof off for a similar situation:
Bob Armmur reminded the Commissioners thaY there is a motion on the floor and discussion
. should have been taken up in the vvorksession. . George Ruther mentioned the MusyU residence anci the Plnichael Lau4erbach residence on
Sandsione were similar situations where. sunreying errors caused buildings to be non- ' conform8ng, however, the PEC had granted a variance.
Daltoru YVilliams said errors and omission insurance should cover this Ioss.
Bob Boraae said with regard to the Musyl residence9 the surveyor made a 2.5' error in height.
The Boazd granted this variance. 1-te stated that the home (Unit 6, Innsbruck Meadows) is sold
and the owners want to move in. It cannot be moved.
• Bob Armmur reminded Bob Borne that there is ara appeals procedure after the PEC vote.
Dalton VVilliams asked the staff if there is any such thing as a penalty to the surveyor because of
this error-
George Ruther said he is noY aware of any way for the Town to penalize the surveyor.
The vote was 3 in favor of denial and 2 opposed for denial.
Mike fVlollica stated that Bob Borne had 10 days im appeal to Town Council regarding the PEC
vote of cfen;al. ' 2• A request for an amendmeng to Chapter 1824.050, Permitted and Conditional Uses
Above Second Floor, Yo clarify the Zoning Code regarding the removal of dwelling units'
and accommodation units for all floors above the second floor, requiring a Conditional
lBse Permit.
Applicant: Town of Vail Manner: George Ruther . .
George Rufher gave an overview of the request and stated that he was bringing it 4o the PEC as
a housekeeping item. If we are proposing to keep the use the same, there would be no change
in the peffmhted use.. TMis change-iru:the permitYed use is in the staff memo with the language.
Staff -feeFs this change should be rnade to create cmnsistency ira the code.
Bob Arm(ouir asked Tom Moorheaci if he vvas going to say anything on this subject.
Jim Lamonit, represenYing the EVFiR, vdould like tm see the language strengYhened and is in favor
. of the change, because it promotes the mixed use in fhe neighborhood. -Greg fVlaiffeQ asked if we were recomranending this $o go to Council.

George Ruther said yes, ttiat any change to an Ordinance goes to the Council.
Greg Arnsden is against it because it is an addition to a process that is not needed.
Jeff Bowen said it tightens up the Ordinance. He proposed that in addition to the staff's ' language some of the uses in the memo should be deleted such as delicatessens and specialiry
food stores, Variety stores, Liquor stores, Radio and N stores and repair shops and kennels.
Dalton Williarns said it reduces density in the wrong place and so he is in favor of it. Dalton said to delete dog kennels, but wants to stick with the text that staff recommended.
- Henry Pratt falls between the two Gregs. He can go either way.
Bob Armour is in favor of it.
Jeff.Bowen made a motion'to approve this request for recommendation to Council with the
additional language that dog kennel and Household Appliance stores be removed.
Greg Alloffet seconded the motion. .
" Dalton Williams said he hates to tinker with the wording on the spur of the moment, although he
is not in favor of dog kennels being included. Jeff Boweri reminded the Commissioners that this is goirig to Council.
The vote was 4 in favor and Greg Amsden and Dalton Williams opposed.
3. A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a"quasi-public club" to be located on
the 3rd and 4th floors "of the Serranos Building located at 298 Hanson Ranch Road/Lot C,
Block 2, Vail Village 1 st Filing.
-Applicant: Gretta Parks, represented by Glen Heelan.
- Planner: Jim Curnutte _
Bob. Armour reminded everyone that at the last meeting this item was tabled.
Tom Moorhead gave his.determination of a Conditional Use Permit and clarified it with a memo.
He does believe the application meets the Conditional Use criteria and a privafe club is not an
issue. !t is his understanding from the Conditional Use standpoint, nothing stands in the way of
issuing it. There was a New Purpose clause adopted in 1980 and nowhere under the CCI regs is
there identified any requirement that each building have a residential component. There is no '
reference to dwelling units, so basically he could not find any regulation that would preclude granting this-request. The building that is being replaced had no residential component.
Jeff Bowen said the applicant has changed frorn a private club to a quasi-private club. His
question is does that use fit within the Zoning Code.
Henry Pratt asked if excluding clubs was intentional.
Tom Moorhead said that under the present application, if is available to the public for a fee. Jeff Bowen asked if that would be Tom's opinion if it would be a private club.

' Torrn Moorhead said he didn't know. V1/hat is being proposed +'s not a private club.
Glen Heelan said he doesn't have a lot to add. VVe have identified the issues. The 3rd and 4th
floor es simiiar to an eating and drinking establishment.
Jirr~ L=-mon8, representing the EVHA, asked Torn if this is quasi-public, do these definitions stem
~ from the open space zoning issues. How do vve define private. If one needs a membership to
join aprivate club iri other zone districts and also has a membership in a quasi-public club; what
is the clifference between them.
Torrs Moorhead said the use is issue being addressed. In 1980 the New CCI Purpose statement
did not reference any old language. Old language weight was lost with the New Purpose statemenY.
Jim Lamon$ said a policy issue is the argument. ThaY this use will not change the character of
_ the ne~ghborhood is a fallacious argumenY. Clearly any new building must conform to the mixed
use gcals. Our discussion here should be if we can have accommodation units in the building
and stffl have a club. He talces argument with staff and stated tha4 we have to be very careful if
we are cchanging our philosophical goa1S. If vve are going to follow the staff's recommendation,
then ai precedent will be set that will eventually do away with the mixed use in the neighborhood. 1Ale dan't want to become a sales tax cow to finance the government.
. Kevira Deighan arrived at 3:05p.m.
Tom NCmorhead said accommodation units are encouraged. VUhat staff has recommended clearly
referefar-es the policy that is now in effect.
Greg MoffeY is in favor of it but tivith minor changes. He would like a condition to be added that
aPpl?cant apply for a public tiquor license.
Greg Amsden agrees with Greg Moffet's comments. VVhat if the success of the private club was
so go0d ihat they want to go totally private. Some recourse needs to be done by the Town. He
• didn't Uaink many people aciually reside in the CCI Zone District. He doesn't believe iYs a
residerafial sector.
Henry Pratt said this use is beneficial to the Town. We must evaluate these requests on a case
by casze basis. VVe should consider a restriction against live music; where a party might bring in
amplifo-led or live music.
Jim Cuumutte stated that ihe noise ordinance vvould deal with any live music.
Henry. PraYt said the noise ordinance is reactive. He would like to prohibit it altogether and take
an actswe s2ance v?rith this condition. . Glen Fgeelan said it may be appropriate to have live music, such as a piano bar as long as it
complie~s with the noise ordinance.
Tom Kffiborhead said iq comes down fo the design of the amplified sound system. We may want
to consgder some Yype of condition 2o approve the design of the amplified system.
Jim Cemnutte said existing noise ordinances anc? promises by the applicant made him believe that
this v?rou9c9 be complied with.

Glen Heslan said they are air-conditioning the whole building to control noise. He stated ihat he
is sensiiive to the noise issue. . .
Dalton Williams sees no problem with the proposed use. That is what the village is about. This .
is a case where the building has never had accommodation units and so is not setting a
pEecedent. . . Je#f Bowen said AU's are important but not necessarily in the village. This is an excellent use of
• the building. He still has a problem with the.exclusivity.. .
Jim Lamont said this was a mixed use building in the 1970's. In response to Greg's point; In the
'79s it was employee housing and that is why the horizontal zoning was passed. The
cornrriercial value is exceeding the residential value. We are not here to protect the locals, but to
protect the residential use. Residential means being made up of residential and accommodation
unats. We are making a decision in a de facto basis to turn it into all commercial. Jim tends to
agree with Tom regarding having a sound design system. Bob Armour is on the fence. It is not an existing lodge, nor wil( it be. He is against a private
- ctub: A quasi-private is somewhat better.
Jim Cumutte clarified the horizontal zone and that this property, in relation to a quasi-club, meets
the criteria for a Conditional Use . Bob Armour said he wants to change the two year start date to one year.
Greg Moffet agreed that he doesn't want it two years from today. Tom Moorhead said the approval stiould be concurrent with the date.
Kevin Deighan said he will not vote on this issue, but is happy with the change to quasi-private.
Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve with the additional conditions that the applicant must carry
a public liquor license and that the approval run concurrently with the approval of the original
projecti
Greg Moffet seconded the motion. -
Bob Armour stated that in April 1997, this Conditional Use would expire should there be a lapse in construction.
Dalton Williams wanted it clear that if it becomes a private club, it will no longer be able to .
operate_ .
Tom Moorfiead said,the applicant's change-o# use is not being hindered by the State Legislative
Liquor Law. .
Glen Heelan said we are applying for a hotel and lodging liquor license.
Dalton Wlliams reminded the applicant that the Conditional Use approval would go away if it
becomes private. -

Pianner: Jirra Curnutte and Lauren liVaterton .
Bob Arrnour asked Jim Curnutte and Lauren Waterton Yo go through the staff memorandum and
talk about staff concerns. He would like to ask the Commissioners how they feel regarding the
staff concerns. He reminded everyone that this is not a worksession.
Dalton Wiiliams asked to go over Attachment # 1(Zoning Code texY amendments), vote on it and
get it oug mf the w,ay. . Jim Curnutte addressed ihe texY amendments in the memo and stated that the changes to the
Zoning Code were fairly insignificant.
Bob Arrxiour asked the applicant if he had any objection to the proposed changes.
. Dave Corbin, with respect to the Ski Base/Rec Distric4, stated that he has no objection to the
changes_ VA completely concurs with the changes that staff has proposed. Jim Lamont said the Homeowners Association takes exception. VVhat was negotiated in '83 and
'84 are philosphophical issues and rather than take up the PEC's time, the EVHA would prefer to
deal wi2h ihe Town Council.
Kevin Deighan, Greg Moffet and Greg Amsden had no comments.
Dalton Williams questioned why the Tennis Pro Shop vvas being removed.
Jim Curnutte said that it is because the Yennis-courts vvere being removed from the property.
Henry Piratt had no cornments.
Bob Armour haci nothing further to add: . .
Jeff Bowen moved that the PEC recommend to Towrn Council that the Ordinance be changed per
the staff inemo. ' The mogon was seconcied by Daltoru Vl/illiams.
.The voge-was 7-0 for the Ordinance to be changed as per the staff memoe .
Jim Cumut4e touched on each of the elemenYs that the redevelopment plan requesg involves. In
summairy the building has gotten bigger than was previously approved, but it is still in compliance
with the ffequirernents o$ ihe code andl has been since the original submittaf. .

Christmas Holiday Plan
As we have discussed previously, given snow conditions and the fact that Christmas falls on a
Monday this year, we are expecting increased visitation over the past two years. We have been
working with Vail Associates and other large employers to implement for the third year a holiday
traffic management plan. This plan provides for staggering of work hours, car pooling incentives
as well as free bus service in the regional transportation system. This program has been fairly
successful over the past two years and we anticipate additional success this year. This year for the
first time we are working with Vail Associates to implement a Vail Hosts Program to help assist our
guests throughout the peak holiday season period.
I will give you a report after the first of the year on the outcome of these efforts. RWM/aw

TO REDUCE !lA9L'S HOLIDAV TR14FF9C
(Vail)--Ride a bus or carpool this holiday season in Vail and you might feel like you
just won the lottery. VVith free breakfast coupons and a chance to win some great
prizes, new incentives have been created this season to reward those who help reduce
Vail's holiday traffic congestion by leaving their cars at home. The "Peak Week Perks"
program Dec. 23-31 is the creation of the Vail Community Task Force, which was
formed to help implement the managed growth agreement between the town and Vail
Associates.
With projections for brisk business this holiday season, Vail Town Manager Bob iVicLaurin says the program is essential. "We need everyone's help to pull this off
successfully," he said. "In Vail, every car makes a difference in our ability to
successfully manage the peak periods. Fewer cars means less congestion on the
roadways, improved parking availability and a better overall experience."
fVicLaurin says he's inviting residents to join him in riding the bus to work each day.
Those who ride Vail's outlying routes or the Gypsum-to-Vail bus will get a coupon for
free breakfast, plus a punch card. Get the card punched at least eight times (one
punch per ride) and you'll earn a chance to win some great prizes, including a 10 day ,
~ (more)
RECYCLEDPAPER
Peak Week/Add 1 ski pass, 10 day Vail Athletic Club membership, cassettes and CDs from KTUN radio,
plus restaurant and merchant gift certificates.
Similarly, those who carpool with three or more occupants at the Ford Park or soccer
field lots between 8 a.m. and.1 p.m. Dec. 26-31 will receive free parking plus the punch
card. Once the card is punched at least eight times (two punches per trip), carpoolers
will be eligible for the Peak Week Perks prizes, as well.
For those who need help finding carpool companions, the town's environmental office
will assist through a new program called "E-Ride," short for Eco-Ride. The service is
available to employees who work within the boundaries of the Town of Vail who
regularly drive to work and would like to share the cost of the commute. The number to
call is 479-2224.
Incentives also are in store for those who volunteer to become Vail Hosts, assisting
guests with skier-drop off and other needs. Volunteers will earn two free lift tickets and
half price lunch on the mountain for a nine hour commitment over two days.
Employer Participation .
In addition to the Peak Week Perks program, Vail's three largest employers will
continue to play a role in reducing traffic. For the third year, the Town of Vail, Vail
Associates and Vail Valley Medical Center will implement a multi-faceted plan for
increased employee bus use, carpooling and.staggered..work.shifts during the 9-day
peak period. Collectively, the three organizations employ about 4,500 workers.
Those employees will be offered free bus tickets for the Avon/Beaver Creek Transit
system and the Gypsum-to-Vail Express service, while workers who live outside

scheduled bus routes will be encouraged to carpool. Employees also will be asked to
arrive before 8 a.m. or depart after 6 p.m.
In fihe Vail Associates lots, company employees wrho carpool (2 per car) will receive
free parking, plus 4he Peak UVeek punch card. Those who don't carpool will be charged
a daily fee of $2. The fees collected will be used to fund the free bus passes for Vail
Associates employees.
In addition, for each day employees of Vail Valley flAedical Center (WiViC) leave their
cars at home (Dec. 18-29), the hospital will provide a$4.50 voucher for 4he hospital
cafeteria, which is triple the normal value of the voucher. Following the holidays,
WMC will continue providing free bus passes year-round for employees who commute
from Eagle, Gypsum, Leadville and Edwards.
The Community Task Force will monitor effectiveness of the peak management
program by evaluating traffic count comparisons, bus ridership figures, parking
structure numbers, skier numbers, weather conditions, visual observations and visitor
surveys. The program will be repeated during President's Weekend Feb. 16-19.
For more information on the program, contact Vail Town Manager Bob iVicLaurin at
479-2105; Chris Ryman at Vail Associates, 479-3020; or Stan Anderson at Vail Valley
iViedical Center, 476-2451.

Dear Mayor Armoarr, Mayor Pro Tem Navas; Cozrncil
Members Foley, Ford, Jetivett, and Johnston
Congratarlations on yoarr election and on yoiir assumption of new and continuing roles. There
are significant continzting and emerging challenges in the administration of Yail. From tivhat
we read in the ti"ail newspapers, you have the dedicar.ion and intelligence to carn,- oui ycarr
important dzrties effectively and we tivish yoar well in that important role.
While we may represent one of the special interests that Ms. Oster.f'oss warned against, we
zrrge that yoar keep in mind that the btrlk of the city's revenzres and the cazrse of the barlk of
the ciry's cnallences are people who do not have an opportzrnity ro vote.for you and have no
official constituency voice. We are non-resident property owners and toarrists. We hope you
can keep the needs crnd preference~ of these interests in mind as you make dec:s;ons.
We applaud the attention to the appearance of the communiry that the planning, zoning, and
architectural review process has established and inaintained. This is a key feature that has
made Vail "special. " Throzrgh personal experience, we know that this process is complex
and causes frustration but tive hope you can maintain the objectives while attending to
procedural concerns.
Transportation issues seem to have also been addressed effectively with a good bars. system
and the new round-abouts that solved a difficult traffic problem in an attractive and
functional way. The prior council seemed to have misplaced its priorities in the matter of the City Market
proposal. We hope the new coarncii can undo the unfortunate mistalres of the pnor
administration. The prior cozrncil members did not even know how many people woarld be
housed in the subsidized facilities that are part of the proposal. There seemed to be no
appreciation of the needless economic disrzrption that the action plan will sirrely cazrse. 'Two
banknrpt szrper markets and no place left for local people to shop than high pr-ice -
convenience stores seems like the certain result of the current plan. The entire proposal is
much too high a price to pay for a few subsidized housing units for a few Izrcky people.
Normally, "affordable" housing occurs as a result of excess housing. Restrictions on
development work against this source of affordable housing and Vail has and should restrict
development. Therefore, Vail must arse other, normal city services to foster the availability of
affordable housing. This includes assuring that utilities are available and that bars service is
available in areas where it is economically feasible for developers to bziild affordable
.Q
e

housing. Tax incentives and zoning variances* can also be used. Devoting prime
commercial land with easy Interstate highway access to affordable ho:lsing makes no sense.
Of course, the council must maintain the mutually supportive functioning of the city and its
prime economic force, Vail Associates. While the influence of Vail Associates is pervasive,
Vail "is not the only community with this situation. Even in Bloomington, Indiana, oarr
primary residence, Indiana University has an unusual influence on city government. "'~zil may
be able to learn from the experiences of other communities with a dominant economic
influence; non-resident property owners and tourists may have valuable knowledge of those
situations that can be shared. We know these are only a few of the key issues to be considered today and during your terms
of office. Again, we extend ozrr congratzrlations and best wishes for your success in
thoughtfully_firffilling yozr important responsibilities. We urge you to consider the »iews and
use the experience of the constituencies who have no voice in yoarr selection.
Sincerely
ltm

--PEC/DRD Review
During an overview of the most recent meetings of the Planning & Environmental
Commission and Design Review Board, Council members learned that four of the
seven seats on the PEC and two of the four DRB seats will be up for appointment by
the Council in February.
--Update and Overview of the Town of Vail/U.S. Forest Service Land Exchange
As part of the recommended actions in 4he town's 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands
Plan, a land exchange is proposed between the two agencies to remove Forest Service lands from within the town boundaries and to acquire Forest Service lands that have
public or private improvements. Specifically, the proposal includes exchanging five
properties totaling 85 acres of town-owned land for 11 Forest Service parcels totaling
108 acres. During.an overview yesterday, in which the Council agreed to proceed with
the project, Russell Forrest, the town's senior environmental planner, said a critical next
step is underway to receive an appraisal of each of the properties. The exchange is
intended to trade lands of similar value. The 48'-acre Trappers Run parcel in West Vail
is the largest town-owned property proposed to be traded to the Forest Service. The
town, meanwhile, is attempting to gain ownership of a parcel beneath the interstate for
a possible employee housing project, while many of the remaining parcels would be
obtained to convey public improvements, such as roadways, to the town while possibly
transferring ownership of driveways and other encroachments to the private property
owners. Once the appraisals are completed, a public involvement process will be
scheduled to discuss the exchange proposal in more detail, Forrest said. Sybill Navas
wondered if adding deed-restrictions to any of the properties wrould make the
appraisals more equitable. The initial appraisal work is scheduled to be completed
Dec. 22. For more information, contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development
Department at 479-2138, or Kathy Hardy, assistant district manager for the Holy Cross
District of the U.S. Forest Service, at 827-5715.

Council Highlights/Add 1
--Peak Week Perks (Holiday Management Plan)
Council members received an overview of a holiday management plan to reduce
congestion in Vail during the period Dec. 23-31. Called "Peak Week Perks," the plan
uses incentives to encourage use of public transit, carpooling and volunteerism to help
create an enjoyable holiday experience for residents and guests. In addition, major
employers are being asked to do their part again this year by staggering work shifts -
and encouraging use of public transportation. The plan is part of the managed growth
agreement between the town and Vail Associates. Incentives have been added this
year by members of the Community Task Force to enhance the program and increase
participation. A news release detailing the program is forthcoming.
--Discussion of Vail Alpine Garden Foundation Lease
The Council yesterday agreed to postpone consideration of a request from the Vail
Alpine Garden Foundation to sign a 49-year lease with the town for operations at the
town-owned Ford Park site. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead had proposed a lease term of 10 years, citing the need for flexibility and to be consistent with the lease established
with the Vail Valley Foundation amphitheatre, which is 12 years. In addition, since a
six-month master planning process is currently underway to create a management plan
for Ford Park, Moorhead said a 49-year lease would be inappropriate until the study is
completed. Sammye Meadows, executive director for the Alpine Gardens, said her
board had directed her not to accept a 10-year lease. With a capital campaign
currently underway to raise $1.5 million for an education center, she said the Alpine
Gardens needed a 49-year commitment from the town in order to make the investment
on the property. Council members assured Meadows the town had no intention of
eliminating the Gardens at Ford Park. They encouraged her to participate in the
master planning process while they give more thought to the extended lease request.
The Council will take the matter up again at the Jan. 9 work session.
--Information Update
A new voice mail system for Council members has been created to encourage public
contact. The system is activated by calling 479-1860.
Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel announced delivery of a the first of
eight new low-floor 40 ft. buses for the in-town shuttle system. The bus, which will
increase carrying capacity on the route, will be put into service next week. For details,
contact Grafel at 479-2173.
At the request of Eagle County, the Council authorized an appropriation of $1,000 from
the 1996 budget to assist with a statewide feasibility study on intercity
passenger/commuter rail. Also, Kevin Foley, Larry Grafel and Todd Oppenheimer
' agreed to assist Eagle County Engineer George Roussos as possible alternates on the
~ Colorado Department of Transportation steering committee, which will direct the study
over the next 12 months.

Dear West Slope/liRountain Resident:
On IDecember ll and 12, 1995, the Aurora and Colorado Springs City Councils are expected to
authorize modified filings on what we now call the Eagle River Conjunctive [Jse Project. The Project
promises to be more beneficial to the west slope and the environment as well as the cities of Aurora
and Colorado Springs. It is an outgrowth of studies and dialogue by front range and west slope water
users warking together as the Eagle River Assembly in recent years.
One Assembly objective was to study water project altematives for the cities that would be more
beneficial to the west slope than Homestake II. That led us to what amounts to changes in the
Homestake decrees and changes in the 1988 filings that the cities made in the Camp Hale area.
Objectors to Homestake II and Iron Mountain Dam urged us to look at groundwater in Camp Hale
and smaller reseivoirs. Eagle I'ark was rich in wetlands before it was drained by the Army to create
Camp Hale for traming the lOth Mountain I)ivision during World War U. We believe we can restore
some of those wetlands while retaining the area as a memorial to the lOth.
Eagle River Conjunctive Use Project is an altemative to Homestake H. It does not impact Holy
Cross V1/ildemess Area. Features include Blodgett Reservoir on Homestake Creek above the Eagle
River, which may hold up to 30,00 acre-feet, Eagle Park Aquifer below Camp Hale, a well filed, and
different water intakes in the area.
The Eagle River Conjunctive Use 1'roject aIlows use of project waters in the Eagle and Colorado River Basins, conveyance to Aurora and Colorado Springs, restoration of wetlands and a range of
other benefits. In additional to the coordination between features of this project, the Conjunctive Use
Project can work effectively with local projects both built and proposed.
We anticipate ea-tensive study and continued dialogue aimed at mutual benefit following the filing. A summary of the filing is enclosed. Please contact me or Doug ICemper, our VVater Resource
Manager, at 695-7370 if you have questions. Otherwise, we will keep you informed.
Yours truly,
To C'rriswold

EA(~'uL~ ~~~R CON.~~CTIVE USE PROJECT
SUIlHffiHIlflaIl'y
This project represents an alternative to the Cities (Aurora and Colorado Springs) 1988 groundwater
filings and altemative points of diversion to the Homestake B project. As compared with the single
plupose ofHomestake I and II of water for the front range cities, the filing for altemative points of
diversion also allows for a range of uses in the Colorado River Basin.
1VIam features ofthis modified version are Blodgett Reservoir on Homestake Creek above the Eagle
River, Eagle Park Aquifer Enlargement beneath Camp Hale, a well field in the aquifer and some
stream mtakes m the general area. The concept is to mTnimize surface disturbance and avoid the Holy
Cross Wilderness Area while providing sufficient water for the Cities, to restore historic wetlands,
provide augmentation water for the Eagle River and improve fisheries. The water could also be used
m.the Eagle and Colorado River basins for snowmaking, recreation, wildlife and domestic purposes.
Further studies will be conducted and may result in modification of some features and elimiuation of
others. The studies will also determine average annual yield, which is expected to be comparable to
previous altematives.
FIRST CLAIM. Blodgett Reservoir, up to 30,000 acre-feet of surface storage on Homestake Creek
just above the Eagle River. The water would be used to create wetlands in the 1,450-acre Camp Hale
area and replenish the aquifer, and for diversion directly to the front range, and for a range of uses
in the Colorado River Basin.
SECOND CLAIM. Eagle Park Aquifer Enlargement. Enlarges previous claims by the Cities to
approximately 90,000 acre-feet beneath Camp Hale. Vdater would be pumped from the aquifer and
replenished through infihration of surface water mcluding surface storage and if needed, through deep
well injection. Water to the front range would be delivered by pipeline through the rail tunnel beneath
Tennessee Pass or through other routes including one up the Homestake Valley to Homestake
Reservoir.
TH[W CLAIM. Eagle Park Aquifer Well Field, First Enlargement. Iprovides for approximately 20
wells some 700 feet deep pumping at a rate near 7 cubic feet per second (cfs) in the field above the
Eagle Park Aquifer.
FOURTH CLAIM. Homestake Creek Intake. An intake of 400 cfs approximately two miles above
the junction of Homestake Creek and the Eagle River. The intake would divert water for the Eagle
I'ark Reservoir below Camp Hale and is an altemative to Blodgett Reservoir and the Eagle River
Intake (sixth claim). Only on of the three would be built.
FTFTH CLAIM. Turkey Creek Intake. A 200 cfs intake located about 1,000 feet above Red Cliff
would deliver water to Eagle Park Reservoir. It is an altemative to Eagle River Intake.
(over please)
~
e
f
~
SIXTH CLAIM. Eagle River Intake. A 600 cfs intake on the Eagle River below the confluence with
Homestake Creek. It would deliver water to Eagle Park and is an altemative to the Turkey an
Homestake Creek Intakes.
SEVENTH CLAIM. Eagle - Cross Tunnel and 1'ipeline. Would divert water by gravity fram Fall
Creek (250 cfs) and Peterson Creek (100 cfs) to Blodgett Reservoir, directly to the Front Range or
to Eagle Park Reservoir, First Enlargement. . Water from Cross Creek (450 cfs) would be diverted
at a point below Holy Cross Wilderness and pumped to the terminus of the gravity tunnel.
EIGH'T CLAIM. Homestake Conduit. Moves some of the Homestake decrees to the Blodgett site.
NINTH CLAIM. Exchange. Provides for release of water from the aquifer to the Eagle River and
the diversion of water into Blodgett.
TENTH CLAIM. Exchange. Provides for the release of water from Blodgett and the diversion of
water to Camp Hale. Can also release water from Homestake Reservoir, pump back and divert to
Camp Hale.
ELEVENTH AND TWELF'TH CLAIM. Augmentation and exchange. Provides for the non-injury
of water rights of others by allowing augmentation and exchange.

Input gained from discussions at the summit was presented.to the Interregional Council at a meeting on
November 5. After lengthy debate, the council voted to incorporate.some changes, which included moving
two recommendations into the top priority category. The final draft document has 74 recommendations, 18
of which are considered priority items. Of the 74, 23 require legislative action, five recommend executive ,
orders and 46 suggest poliry and/or administrative changes that can be implemented at the state or local level.
The 18 priority action items are:
1D Appoint a blue ri66on panel to develop strategies to meet the state's future-transportation, needs;
M Convene a statewide panel to analyze public sector fiscal poliry alternatives and develop an action plan .
for consideration by the General Assembly; - ' - " .
3) Reexamine the state Enterprise Zone policy;
4D Enact enabling legislation which permits counties to approve or disapprove the subdivision of lands
into parcels of 35 or more acres with review;
SD Improve transportation and comprehensive planning in all communities across the state; -
GD Increase support and incentives to expand protection of soil, water, vegetation and wildlife on agricul-
tural lands; _ `a'~ Protect water supplies for highly producuve lands;

10) Adopt enabling-legislation which establishes the authoriry_of local governments to employ the transfer
and/oi purchase of development rights; ^ 9 q Enact legislation that creates a comprehensive telecommunications policy for Colorado;:
12D Include air qualiry protection as a component of all "smart growth"; -
1 M The Governor should request that major local government organizations, in consultation .with other,

interested groups as identified by the Governor, convene a panel to consider mechanisms to resolve .
problems related to local government boundary changes, the creation of new units of local govern-
ment,, and development-related disputes; - " -
Amend-statutes to clarify the agricultural land classification for properry tax purposes; 161 Develop a system of performance standards/benchmarks; -
~6) The Governor should issue an executive order directing state plans to be aligned with local plans when-

TOWN OF VAIL REGOGNBZES VETERAN iNOFiKER AND A NEWCOMIER
AS ORGANIZAT@ON'S TOP EIIAPLOYEES
(Vail)--Town of Vail employees have selected a veteran staff inember and a
newcomer to receive the town's top employee recognition awards for 1995. Charlie
Davis, a building inspector with 16 years of service to the town, was named employee
of the year, while Ron Braden, information systems/communications manager since
1994, is supervisor of the year. The two were selected by their colleagues for
outstanding service from among 18 nominations. Awards were presented at the town's
holiday party, Dec. 8.
Co-workers say Davis exemplifies the town's employee values through his motivation
and positive attitude. As construction inspector for the town, Davis has won praise and
respect from area contractors who have found him to be compassionate, rather than
adversarial, in his ability to solve problems in the field. In addition to his.positive
contact with the public, Davis also was recognized for contributions to his fellow
employees, including a project to improve internal communications by using electronic
mail to route daily construction schedule information to the staff. Davis began working

for the town in 1979 when he was hired as a snow.shoveler. After working as a
maintenance worker and an equipment operator, he was named construction inspector
in 1990 and was promoted to building inspector earlier this year. "What I've enjoyed
most about the town is the family atmosphere around here," Davis said. "It makes
coming to work enjoyable. How can I not give my all to an organization like this." Davis
and his wife Robin have two children, Tony, 12, and Daryl, 4.
Braden, the supervisor of the year, was recognized for extraordinary customer
service, innovation and teamwork within the organization. Since coming to the town in
1994, Braden, along with computer technician Greg Raile, has made significant
technologieal improvements. Those efficiencies have included installation of voice
mail, electronic mail, a new computer system for the Police Department, Internet access
and a new fiber optics network connecting the town's five buildings. Employees also
value Braden's perseverance in keeping the new hardware running smoothly. An
excerpt from his nomination reads: "I have left messages on Ron's voice mail at 4:50
p.m., expecting to hear back from him in the next day or so, only to find out he stayed late or came, in early and solved the problem." Braden says he's pleased with the
recognition. "IYs a real honor to be chosen for this award," he said. "I've only been
here for a relatively short period of time and the people in this organization are very
supportive. It's a great place -towork:"-- Br-aden has nine years of experience in the
communications field. Before joining the Town of Vail, he served as project engineer
for Eagle Computer Systems in Eagle.
The two winners each receive.a check for $500 from Town Manager Bob McLaurin.
