Work Sessuon Brae$s
Counci{ members present: Armour, Foley, Ford; Jewett, Johnston, Navas
--Employee Housing Discussion by Chuck Ogilby
Chuck Ogilby, a longtime local, appeared before the Council to follaw up on an idea he
planted with the Council about six months ago. Ogilby's idea is to offer incentives,
such as a ski pass, to anyone (second homeowners, merchants, lodge owners, etc.)
who can provide an extra bedroom, apartment, etc., for local housing. Ogilby further
suggested a partnership between the town, Vail Associates and the Forest Service to
create more local housing. Council members reacted favorably to his ideas.
--Discussion of Vai1 Athletic Club Speciai Development District Major Amendment
The Council reviewed a proposal by the Vail Athletic Club to amend the project's 1993
Special Development District in preparation for the evening meeting. See evening briefs for details.
--Information Update
Town Manager Bob McLaurin provided a brief overview of the traffic management
program for the holiday season. He said the program, including the roundabout,
worked extremely well in keeping traffic congestion to a minimum. Also, the new Vail
Host program, which provided guest assistance at bus stops and skier drop-off areas,
was well received, he said. The peak pragram will be reactivated during Presidents'
Weekend, Feb. 16-19.
Town Attorney Tom Nioorhead gave a brief update on the status of the Vail Commons
project: the town is waiting to finalize title insurance for the property; easement
discussions with owners of the Vail das Schone property are underway for access to
the Vail Commons property; and work continues on the lottery criteria which will be
brought to the Council for discussion. Nioorhead said more than 90 people have .
atready inquired about the 53 for-sale housing units associated with the development.

Also, Moorhead advised the Council of two lawsuits which have been filed against the
town in Eagle County District court. Both involve Design Review Board decisions
(Flannery appeal of Ron Byrne approval and DRB approval of International Wing at
Lodge at Vail).
--Council Reports
Sybill Navas reported on a recent meeting of the Special Events Commission. She
said the Commission denied funding requests from Bravo! Colorado, Casino Night and
the Vail Sportsmanship Hockey Tournament, whiie $1,000 was awarded to the
Nutcracker performance, funds were provided for a New Year's Eve fireworks
celebration (due to miscommunications between the Tourism & Convention Bureau and
the Vail Recreation District) and a proposal is still under consideration for a polo on ice
event. Also, the Commission appropriated $3,000 to cover a Celtic Festival bill which
was tied to the event's liquor license held by the Tourism & Convention Bureau. For an
explanation regarding review criteria, contact Navas at 479-1860.
Rob Ford attended a meeting of the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau.
--Other
Kevin Foley noted he was incorrectly identified as mayor pro-tem in Tuesday's issue of
the Vail Daily. (Sybill Navas is mayor pro-tem.) l
Michael Jewett suggested evaluating council work session schedules and possibly
consolidating some of the meetings.. The matter will be discussed in more detail at a
Council retreat on Feb. 27.

reduction of required parking spaces from 9 to 4 as a result of decreased conference
space. For additional details, contact Mike fViollica in the Community Development
Department at 479-2138.

discussion regarding continuation of 15 mph speed zones in the commercial core areas

NEED TO DO MORE WITH LESS. Community Development will be substantially expanding its
efforts in the area of housing. Budget constraints mean that any new efforts must be undertaken
without additional personnel and can be accomplished only if greater efficiencies are achieved in
existing programs and all efforts are prioritized to focus..on the areas which produce the greatest
public benefits.
IMPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND PERMITTING PROCESSES. The
Department must improve the development review and permitting processes in order to respond to
the concerns and needs of our customers, as well as to create more efficient operations, thus creating
o more ti.rne for other high priority (i.e., high public benefit) items like housing and long-range
planning projects.
LONG-RANGE PLANNING. High priority long-range planning activities in 1996 include
undertaking a community planning process to create a strategic plan far the future of Vail, creating a
solid waste management plan and a housing strategic plan, implementing the environmental strategic
plan, developing a Master Plan and Design Guidelines for Lionshead, and deternuning planning
needs for the 1999 Championships. Medium priority projects include updating the Special
Development District (SDD) regulations, revising the Sign Regulations, and updating the Zoning
Ordinance. .
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS. Community Development is reorganizing its operations
to create more efficiencies and to better serve our customers. The Department will continue its team
and task orientation to accomplishing its departmental and program goals, will continue to improve
inter-departmental coordination and use of Town, community and consultant resources, and will
fully implement the Sierra computerized permit tracking system.
COMIv1UNITY ENGAGEMENT. The Department will expand its efforts to recognize the diverse
character of the Vail community and to focus on the common ground in policy and program
development. We will continue to seek input from the community, to work toward partnerships, and
to seek consensus where possible, all in order to create more satisfaction and sense of community
within our town.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW A1vD DESCRIPTIONS
PLANNING AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT includes the creation of policies, master plans,
strategic plans, community plans and implementing plans and ordinances which guide and direct
the future of the community toward appropriate physical and economic growth compatible with
q our natural environment. A strong community engagement component is included in all planning
efforts to insure that the community is informed and involved in decision-making processes. .
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND PERMITTING includes: receipt and review of applications
for development approval, sign permits and building permits; coordination of the development
review process with other Town departments; providing expertise, analysis and recommendations
to the Planning and. Environmental Commission, the Design Review Board, and the Town
- Council; conducting building inspection services; and restaurant inspection services pursuant to a
contract with the Colorado Department of Health; and customer assistance and education.
COMPLIANCE includes: educational activities such as fireplace conversion demonstrations and
dissemination of information (e.g. bear-proof garbage containers, recycling); enforcement of the
Town's development regulations and sign code, the Uniform Building Code, environmental and
public health laws, and affordable housing regulations; hazardous materials responses; and
orchestration of activities such as neighborhood clean-ups and the annual Town-wide Clean=up
Day. We emphasize education and negotiation of voluntary compliance.
HOUSING ADMINISTRATION is new this year and reflects the Town's growing emphasis on
creating, acquiring and maintaining within the Town affordable housing for the range of people
who wark in the community. The progarri may include administration of for-sale housing
lotteries and tenant selection processes; property management, and real estate acquisition and
disposition.
