Re: Rockledge Land Adjustment Exchange
Members of the Council:
As a number of the members of the Council are aware, this Firm
represents several of the homeowners on Rockledge Road who are
interested in the proposed exchange of land by which existing and
. long-established practical access to their residences, and the
existence of a Town-maintained street known as upper Rockledge
Road, would be legally recognized. Our clients who are interested
property owners, and on whose behalf this letter is written,
include the following:
Owner(s) Property
Mary Noel Lamont Lot 2, Block 7
Vail Village First Filing
Various Trusts for the Lot 3-A, Block 7
Benefit of the Hunt Family Vail Village First Filing
Clinton Josey, Jr. and Lot 3-B, Block 7
Betty Josey Vail Village First Filing
Vernon Taylor . Lots 4 and 7, Block 7
Vail Village First Filing
Trust for the Benefit of Lot 8A, Block 7
Catherine Edborg and others Vail Village First Filing
Initially, our clients wish to express their appreciation to
the Town of Vail and its personnel for their efforts in resolving
an issue which has been a continuing challenge, first for Vail
Associates, and then for the Town of Vail and our clients, for more
than thirty years. The focus on the resolution af the problem of
town and public roads being located on Forest Service lands has
been welcomed.
The discussion which occurred on the 4th of February,
particularly at the evening meeting of the Council, however,
indicated a misunderstanding regarding the nature of the problem
which is confronting the Town and the property owners, and a
possible expectation on the part of the Town which our clients and
we have been attempting to dispel.
With reference to the probZem which exists in the Rockledge
area, there was some discussion in the recent meeting to the effect that the principal purpose of the property acquisition was to
correct encroachments and title problems of the property owners.
With the exception of a deck at the west end of the proposed parcel
(not the property of any of our clients), our clients are aware of
no encroachments onto Forest Service property. Neither does any
property have a title problem. There is a practical problem with
access, which relates to the fact that the town road, known as
Rockledge Road, and the privately maintained former public road
(orig.inally part of Mill Creek Road) east of the traffic circle at
the end of Rockledge Road, which originally served as access to
Vail Mountain, are located on Forest Service property and were
never authorized or Iegitimized by the Town of Vail (which
originally recognized and maintained both as public roads) or Vail
Associates (which originally established and/or used both
roadways). It is this practical problem, whzch is shared by the
Town of Vail and the property owners, which is to be resolved by
the exchange process.
The second issue relates to the contribution which the Town
may expect from the property owners. When the property owners were
working with the Forest Service several years ago, it appeared that
cost of acquiring the required narrow tract which was required to
correct the road problem would cost less than $500,000, and a
number of property owners were willing to participate in that cost,
if they acquired the property adjacent to their platted lots. Our
clients acquiesced in the Town's request that they leave the
negotiation of the exchange to the Town of Vail, and that decision
was premised upon the understanding that the final cost of the
Rockledge parcel would be in that range. The cost of the Rockledge
parcel has now increased to $2,400,000, and there seems to have
been the suggestion that the Town of Vail may expect the property
owners to defray the greater part of this amount. As we have
advised the Town of Vail in previous letters, this is not a
realistic expectation. While our clients (who do not represent all
affected property owners) are probably willing to participate at
the level anticipated several years ago, the suggestion that they
participate at a level several times that which was previously
discussed is not realistic, and the Town of Vail should be aware of
that fact before it enters into an agreement with the Forest
Service with any such expectation.
Our clients remain supportive of the exchange effort and are
appreciative of the efforts of the Town of Vail to resolve this
O
long-existing problem. However, they do not wish the Town to be
placed in a position where it enters into the aqreement based upon
expectations of contribution which are not realistic, and which our
clients have attempted both in the past and at this time to
correct. It is in that spirit that this letter is provided to the
Town Council.
If you have any questions regarding our clients' position on
this matter, you may either contact me, or you may contact our
clients directly.
Very ly you ,

MEMORANDUM [ ] 0/25/96]
DATE: November 5, ] 996
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
RE: Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Bac9cge-ouaod: On Junc 4, 1996, Davc Corbin of Vail Associates Real Estatc Group (VAREG)
presentcd to the Town Council a proposal for a joint study of redevelopment opportunities in
Lionshead. The proposal reflectcd both VAREG's desire to redevelop its own properties in
Lionshead and a recognition of the Town of Vail's keen interest in revitalization of Lionshead.
Since June 4, a tcam composed of Town of Vail staff, rcpresentatives of VAREG, and
professional consultants in the areas of engineering, planning and design has met regularly to
analyze the problems and opportunities presented in Lionshead, policy objectives and a scope of
work for a master planning effort to address both public and private properties, a community
participation process, givens, and a process budget and schedule. Each of those items (except the
master plan budget) was tested with approximately 60 members of the community in six focus
groups held in late September. The information and recommendations contained in this memo
rcflccts thc input rcccived in thosc focus groups.

A. Problem/Opportunitv Statement: Lionshead lacks the charm, character, appeal and
vibrancy expected of a world-class resort. lt lacks a sense of arrival and sense of place.
Pedestrian flow through the mall can.be confusing and disconnected. The architecture lacks a
unique identity or reference to Vail's historica] antecedents or its alpine environment. Many of
the buildings are physically aging and functionally under-utilized, resulting in negative impacts to
property values, private profits, and public revenues. Potcntial hospitality, retail and recreational
uses, and community amenities arc unmet or unrealizcd. It would bc short-sighted to ignore
these conditions and do nothing. The opportunity exists for the public and private sectors to act
collaboratively to renew and revitalize this important component of our community.
B. Lionshead Poliey Objectives: Given the problems and the opportunitics presented by the
Lionshead arca and the framework provided by the Council's adopted Critical Strategies for
1996-1998 (see Exhibit A attached hereto), as wcll as the Vail Tomorrow Goal Areas articulated
by the community through the Vail Tomorrow process to date (see Exhibit B attached hereto),
staff recommcnds adoption of the following policy objectives to serve as the foundation for the .
master planning process and future decision making regarding Lionshead.
OBJECTIVE 1. RENEWAL EiND REDEVELOPMENT
Lionshcad can and should be rcncwed and redeveloped to become a warmer, morc vibrant
environment for guests and residents. Lionshead needs an appealing and coherent identity,
a sense of piace, a personality, a purposc, and an improved aesthctic character.
OBJECTIVE 2. V[TALITY AND AMENITIES
We must seize the opportunity to enhance guest experience and community interaction
through expanded and additional activities and amenities such as pcrforming arts venues,
conference facilities, ice rinks, streetscape, parks and other recreational improvements.
OBJECTIVE 3. STRONGER ECONOMIC BASE
THROUGH INCREASED "LIVE BEDS"
In order to enhancc the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and redevelopment in
Lionshead must promote improved occupancy rates (i.c., "live beds" or "warm pillows")
and fhe creation of additional bed base through new lodging products.
OBJECTIVE 4. IMPROVED ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
The flow of pedestrian, vehicular, bicycle and mass transit traffic must be improved
within and through Lionshead. _
OBJECTIVE 5. IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE •
The infrastructurc of Lionshcad, including strcets, walkways, transportation systems,
parking, utilities, loading and delivcry systems, snow removal and storage, and other
public and private scrvices must be upgraded to meet the capacities and service standards
required to support redevelopment and revitalization cfforts and to meet the expectations
of our guests and residents.
Page; 2
OB.U}ECTllVlE 6. C?tlEATIVE FRNANCING F0R ENHAliiCED
PllSllVATIE PROF?TS A1~~ PUBIt,IC REVENgJES
Redevelopment in Lionshead must bc undertaken in a financially creative, but feasibie,
manner so that adequate capital may bc raised from all possible sources to fund desired
privatc and public improvcments.
C. V.aomsheadl Master P9aun Scope off Work: Thc Mastcr Plan scopc of work will involvc
tive stages, each with its own community involvement process, products and decision points. See ,
Exhibit C, attached hereto.
Stage Il. Data GatVnereng anc0 Sute Analyses (Defning Opportunatoes and
Coeastraints): The purpose of Stage 1 is to gain a detailed understanding of the existing
conditions in Lionshead. A number of elements will be mapped and analyzed, including
topography, vegetation, utilties, traffice and circulation, building mass and height, regulatory
parameters, census data for building uses and populations, and solar access. This mapped data
will form the basis for dcfining opportunities and constraints in Lionshead.
Stage 2. Program Devesmpment (Braanstoraru L6Wash Lest"): The purpose of Stage 2
is to define the needs and wants of the principal stakeholders in Lionshead, thc Town of Vail, Vail
Associates, and the community at large. During this stage, all participants will have an
opportunity to dcfine thcir "wish lists" for possiblc inclusion in thc mastcr plan program to be
approved by the Town Council.
5tage 3. AnaVyze A?teu-naguves and SeBect Preferred Algee-native: The purpose of
Stage 3 is to test the approved program clemcnts against the Stage 1 site, opportunities and
constraints analysis. A serics of alternatives for Lionshead will be developed, presented, and
ciiscussed, leading with community input to Town Council selection of a preferred plan.
Planning/design critcria and financial feasibility will be major aspects of the selection process.
Stage 4. Develop and Adopt Master Poaen and Desegn Guide9ines: Thc N[aster Plan
Devclopment stage has two purposes. First, a final plan will be defined which. will constitute the
physical design paramcters and goals for revitalization and redevelopmcnt of Lionshead. Second,
a set of design guidelines will be developed and approved to guide the architecture and
strectscape of individual development opportunitics.
Stage 5. Appu-ovaV of Omp?ementat6on Act6ons (Adopt Requia-ed Code
19'?odaffacatuons): Thc purpose of the final stage of the master planning process is to write and
adopt such code modifications as may bc recommcnded to achieve the Master Plan's objcctives.
Pagc 3
D. Community Particiaation Plan: Community participation is highly desirable at all
stages of the master planning process for two reasons: onc, in ordcr to crcate a better
understanding of the various factors and interests involved in master planning and redevelopment,
and two, to offer additional creative input.
Public input to date has been in the forrn of six focus groups composed of stakeholders and
interested citizens who reacted to drafts of the proposed problems/opportunity statement, policy
obicctives, master planning process and process goundrules. 7'he versions of those items
contained herein reflect the community input received on the drafts.
Community involvemcnt in Stage 1, Defining Opportunities and Constrainsts, will take two
forms: review of information about existing conditions and input regarding additional factors or
aspects to be considered. We anticipate that a matrix would be created to consolidate all
information on existing conditions and proposals gathered in this stage on one (large!) handy
sheet so that all information is scen in the context of the policy objectives underlying the master
planning proccss, cxisting conditions in Lionshead, and proposals for redevelopment already on
the tablc. A draft of the matrix is attached as Exhibit D. We propose two walking tours and two
public workshops to engage the community in Stage 1. In addition, we will provide survey
response forms for those who are unable to attend either workshop.
In Stage 2, Brainstorming "Wish List", we will use three public workshops and continue to use a
survey response form to gencrate ideas frum stakeholders, community members and others
interested in brainstorming ideas for possiblc inclusion in thc mastcr plan program. Thc Internet
will be onc of several survey responsc form vchicles to communicate with part-time resident
property owncrs. Public participation also will occur as recommendations arc brought to the
Planning and Environmental Commission and thc Vail Town Council.
In Stage 3, Development of Alternatives and Sclection of Prcferred Altcrnative, two public
workshops are planncd, as well as survey response forms, to gather inforrnation on the
alternatives presented. Public participation also will occur as rccommcndations are forwardcd to
the PEC and Town Council.
Community participation in Stage 4, Master Plan and Design Guidelines Development, will be in
the form of worksessions and public hcarings beforc the Planning and Environmental Commission
(PEC), Design Review Board (DRB) and Town Council.
In Stage 5, Adoptionof Required Code Modifications, community participation will occur as
proposed code revisions are presented, discussed, and acted upon by the PEC, DRB and Town
Council in worksessions and public hcarings.
E. Master Plan Proeess Schedule: The Town of Vail needs to balance its responsibility to
process specific development proposals, such as that presentcd by VAREG, with its responsibility
Page 4
to maximize positive benefits to the community as a whole. The proposed approach to achieving
that necessary balance is thc master planning process, which will create a framework for decision=
making on develomcnt proposals for all private and public properties in Lionshead. Given that
there are specific redevelopment proposals pending, time is of thc essencc in thc Lionshead
Master Planning Proccss.
The proposed schedule for the master planning process is ambitious. It will require considerable
dedication on the part of Town of Vail staff (Community Development, Public Works, Fire and
. Town Attorney) as well as the expertise of professional consultants in a variety of areas. For
reasons of rime urgency and budget efficiency, staff proposes to continue to utilize the consultants
who already are on board and familiar with thc issues, sites, process and existing Town of Vail
regulations Design Workshop, Inc. (.DW1) pursuant to a Contract for Professional Services
between the Town and DWI.
F. Process Grouand Raafles: The Town of Vail is committed to open, honest and fair
processes that create informed judgment and better decision-making. In order to clarify roles and
expectations and ensure that the Lionshead Master Planning Process is undertaken and completed
in a responsible way, the following ground rules will apply to the master planning process and will
be included in all documcnts and discussed in all meetings regarding Lionshead Master Planning:
1. Thc Master Plan to be developed for all public and private lands in Lionshcad will
scrve as the policy framework for all future decision-making on specific development and
rcdevclopmcnt proposals in Lionshcad. The Master Plan will be based on the Lionshead
Policy Objectives adopted by the Town Council to reflect the community's interests.
2. The Mastcr Plan area will be bounded on the north by I-70, on the east by 1Vliddle
Creck (wcst of theVail Valley Medical Centcr), on the south by the Town of Vail
boundary (south of Forest Road, and not including single-family lots and on the west by
Rcd Sandstonc Crcck (east of thc Glen Lyon Officc Building).
3. Thc Town of Vail (TOV) will work coliaborativcly with Vail Associates (VA) on
the master planning process for Lionshead and will involve all other interested citizens
and property owners in the master planning process. The master plan ultimatcly
recommended may or may not reflect devclopment approaches currently being explored
by VA.
4. Proprietary information of any privatc propcrty owner or developer will rcmain
private and confidential unlcss it becomes part of a public record.
Pagc 5
5. There will be no net loss to the Vail community of either locals' housing or
parking spaces (public and private) now existing in Lionshcad.
6. Collaborative public/private redevelopment and financing ventures, including urban
renewal authorities and downtown development authorities, will be considered.
7. The intent of redevelopment includcs minimizing short-term construction-related
impacts of redcvclopmcnt on cxisting busincsses and residents and increased cooperation
, bctween the public and private sectors.
8. The Town Council will have final decision-making authority on the Master Plan,
adoption of implementing actions, use of public lands, public improvements, and public
financing mechanisms. The Town Council or its authorized boards (e.g., PEC and DRB)
will make final decisions on subscquent site-specific dcvelopment proposals consistent
with the Master Plan.
G. Proposed Collaboration with Vail Associates: The Lionshead Master Planning Process,
including funding of the planning effort, is proposed to be a collaborative process between the
Town of Vail and Vail Associates. The reasons for the proposed collaboration are several.
First, thc Growth Management Agrecment developed and entered into by the Town and VA in
1995 wa5 a commitment to public-private partnership to achieve the missions of both
organizations. For the Town of Vail, that vision is to be the prcmiere mountain community and
international resort. .
Second, VA is the principal landowner in Lionshcad, has reversionary interests in Town-owned
lands, and was the catalyst behind the mastcr planning concept because of ats own proposals for
rcdcvclopmcnt in LionShcad.
Finally, staff believes that a proactive pooling of information, resources and commitment is the
most effective approach to achieving the Council's critical strategies and specific objectives for
Lionshcad in a timcly, efficicnt, and likciy-to-bc-impicmcntcd manncr. Town collaboration with VA on the master planning will not obstruct participation by the broader
community and, in fact, likely will enhance the opportunities for community involvement in the
process. VA has embraced the Town's commitment and methods to achieve open, honest and fair
processcs that lead to more informed judgment and better decision-making.
H. The Master Planning Process Budget: A master planning process of this magnitude
and detail requires significant expert, technical and graphical support. The total master planning
budget, including necessary professional consultants, computer and mapping expertise, and
Page 6
graphics, is estimatcd at approximately $400,000. Analysis of financial feasibility and financing
mechanisms would be another approximately $200,000. Thcse sums arc exclusive of other
planning costs assumed by private parties.
To give somc Council some perspective, this $600,000 figure represents approximately 3% of
$200 million of potential devclopment investment on core sites in Lionshead. Pursuant to the
proposed collaboration with VA, the Town would pay one-half of the master planning and
financial fcasibility costs, or approximately $300,000. Assuming implementation of some or all
of the master plan's ultimate recommendations, some or all of the planning costs may be
, recovcrable, depending on the financing mechanism utilized. . .

FROM: Rod Slifer
SUBJECT: Town of Vail Council Meeting - February 11, 1997
DATE: February 7, 1997 Telephone
970 476 2421
These are the points we will address at the TOV Council Meeting on Tuesday, February Facsimile
1 lth, at 7:30 PM during "Public Input". 970 476 2655
* We appreciate the Council hearing our proposal regarding parking. We also Bridge Screec nt
applaud the steps they have taken to date. We would like to tell you what we've done Vail Vifinge Off«e
since then. We still feel free parking from 3:00 PM until 7:00 AM is something we 230 Bridkr stCret
should implement ASAP. vdil colo~ado
* We ran a full page ad in the Vail Daily on Sunday explaining the current free 81657
three-hour program. We will also run the same ad in the Vail Trail and Vail Valley
Times. We have also mailed to the village merchants a letter asking that they mention the
"free parking" that is currently available in their advertising. We also provided them with
wording we feel is understandable.
* Here is a check for $1,500 to pay for the re-programming of the parking structure.
We are serious.
* We feel that since the town is already paying $400,000 to study the future of
Lionshead, Vail Village deserves financial consideration. The reality is that our free
parking program would not be implemented until March which would reduce the
$120,000 ($90,000 in Vail and $30,000 in Lionshead). The actual new cost might be
closer to $75,000-80,000 or less.
* We again want to emphasize the importance of keeping skiers in Vail past 4:00
PM. We desperately need to keep these people here as long as possible. Additionally, it
would greatly help the local employees (and employers) who work a second job in Vail
Village or Lionshead from having to pay for parking. One of the first things employees
ask for is parking. Free parking would build exhuberance and add life to the apres ski,
shopping and dining experience.
0 SOTMBY'S
i VTfNNA"f10NAL Rl:ALTY
* We also recommend a sign program that includes signs at the entrance and exits
of both parking structures, the round-about and the East and West Vail exits. Even signs
in the village would be appropriate.
* Finally, we need a long term service-oriented plan to address parking free
parking, valet parking and anything else that would make Vail more accessible. No
studies we just need to sit down as partners and work out solutions.
One final comment on Seibert Circle art piece. We feel that one day to review the five
proposals is not enough. We would suggest leaving the proposed works available for
public review for ten days so that people who cannot make the public meeting on March
25th have a chance to give you input. Then you would meet immediately following that
time period.

to Town Co.uncil was for $300,000; $200,000 as incurred and billed by Design
Workshop and their subcontractors and another $100,000 towards a financial
feasibility study with Arthur Andersen.
I am sure you would like a written memorandum or letter agreement confirming
our commitment. We would also like your reciprocal commitment to fund the
other $100,000 of the Andersen study. I am including a loose "term sheet" of
points which I feel should be included. Please advise me of your thoughts on this
matter and whether you would like us to originate a draft or you would like to do
so.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Pianning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: February 10, 1997
SUBJECT: Review of existing GRFA policy and alternatives
Staff: Russell Forrest
1. PIJFtPOSE:
The purpose of this worksession is to review the analysis for three alternatives to the existing
GRFA policy for single family, duplex, and primary/secondary type structures. This worksession
is intended to describe: how to implement each of these alternatives; what homes might look like
under each alternative; and to identify considerations that would need to be evaluated for each of
these alternatives. The PEC will be asked to comment on ihe effectiveness and appropriateness
of each alternative. In addition, the worksession provides an opportunity for the PEC to request
additional information that will further clarify and describe the consequences of an alternative.
On February 28th, the PEC will be asked to select which alternative they would like to
recommend to the Vail Town Council.
II. BACKGFiOIJND:
The Vail Town Council directed staff to evaluate the existing GRFA system and determine
whether this is an effective and appropriate tool when compared to other alternatives. Three
reoccurring issues have been raised by the Town Council which include: 1) Is GRFA an effective
tool in controlling mass and bulk? 2) Is it appropriate that the Town should be reviewing interior
floor space? and 3) Is it an effective use of staff time (both TOV and designers/builders)? In
October 1996, Tom Braun, the planning consultant for this project, prepared a paper which
addressed the following:
1) Reoccurring concerns/issues with the existing system,
2) Objectives of having mass and bulk controls,
3) Mechanisms for controlling bulk and mass,
4) History of GRFA in Vail,
5) Analysis of how seven other resort communities control bulk and mass, and
6) Analysis of five alternatives.
At the public meetings on October 30th and 31 st, Tom Braun presented the findings in the
background paper. A majority of the time at the meeting was spent obtaining input from the
public on the existing system, discussing pros and cons of alternatives, and identifying new
alternatives. Approximately 45 people attended these meetings.
1
The PEC reviewed this analysis on November 11, 1996. Four members felt that alternative three
(eliminating GRFA) was the best alternative with certain conditions. The PEC felt that if GRFA
was eliminated, additional design guidelines would be needed. 'One commissioner that
supported alternative three, felt that at least two architects should sit on the Design Review
Board.
The other three members of the PEC felt ihat some form of GRFA should continue. One member
felt strongly that GRFA does effectively control bulk and mass and eliminating the system would
increase the size of structures in the Town of Vail. The other two members were interested in
pursuing alternatives 2 and 4(allow interior modifications and don't count basement space in
GRFA calculations, respectively). Overall, there seemed to be a consensus on the Commission
that home owners, particularly owner occupied homes, should be able to do interior remodels
without GRFA being an issue. Council reviewed the analysis on November 26th and directed
staff to examine the following alternatives (not listed by priority/preference) in more detail:
' Allow interior modifications to exceed the maximum GRFA allowance for existing
structures, provided such additions do not add to the bulk and mass of the home.
` Amend the definition of GRFA to exclude basement space from calculation as GRFA.
` Eliminate the use of GRFA for controlling mass and bulk for single family, duplex, and
primary/secondary type structures.
The Vail Town Council was very clear that any alternative should not significantly increase bulk
and mass. The Council was also very sensitive to any recommendation that might inhibit
creative design solutions. In addition, several Council members were interested in exploring
how vaulted space could be better addressed in the Town's regulations.
111. PROCESS OVERVIEW:
The process for this project is broken into three phases 1) identification of alternatives; 2)
analysis of alternatives; and 3) legislative review of the preferred alternative. The following are
specific steps in the process.
Phase I Identification of Alternatives
1) Background analysis of existing GRFA system and alternatives. September &
October, 1996
2) Public meetings to review pros and cons of existing GRFA system October 30th &
and alternatives. & 31 st, 1996
3) Presentation to PEC and Town Council to review pros/cons and November 11 &
(PEC) public input. The purpose of these public meetings was to November 26
determine if any of the alternatives could be eliminated. 1996
2
Phase II Analyze how 4o implemen4 alternatives and identify the impacts of each alternative
4) Complete analysis of alternative approaches. December & January
1996/1997
5) PEC Worksession to review 3 alternatives February 10, 1997
6) PEC Meeting to recommend an alternative February 24, 1997
7) Council Worksession to select an alternative February 25, 1997
Phase III Legislative review of preferred alternative
8) Staff prepares language to modify Town Code March 1997
9) PEC: worksession to consider code revisions March 24, 1997
10) PEC: public hearing April 7, 1997
11) Town Council: worksession to review proposed revision to April 22, 1997
the existing GRFA regulations
12) Town Council: first reading of an ordinance May 6, 1997
13) Town Council: second reading of an ordinance May 20, 1997
` These dates are tentative and subject 4o change
SII. SUMMARV
The attached paper by Tom Braun is intended to assist in evaluating the three remaining
alternatives in the GRFA analysis. The goal of this paper and the presentation on February 10th
is to help provide a picture of what each alternative might look like if it were implemented in Vail.
Please make note of any additional information or graphics that might assist the PEC in making a
final recommendation for the Town Council on February 24th. There is a discussion of
additional design guidelines that are discussed in the "eliminate GRFA" alternative which staff
feels should be examined under any alternative. Staff feels these guidelines would provide much
needed criteria to assist the Design Review Board in its decision making process.

RE: Phase II of GRFA Analysis
Attached you will find the Phase II GRFA Analysis which provides further analysis of the three
potential alternatives to the current GRFA system. These three alternatives, as selected by the
Town Council, include 1) the conversion of interior space in homes that meet or exceed allowable
GRFA, 2) the exclusion of basement space from calculation as GRFA, and 3) the elimination of
GRFA. The following information is provided for each of these alternatives:
1) Description of Alternative
A brief description of the alternative is provided in this section.
2) Issues to be Addressed
This section highlights some of the pertinent comments and considerations raised by the
Council, Commission and public during previous discussions regarding GRFA.
3) Proposed Lanvuage
This section outlines how and where each alternative could be incorporated into the Town's
zoning code and presents preliminary language for implementing the alternative. This
should not be considered "final ordinance language". Rather, it is intended to provide the
Council, Planning Commission and community with a better understanding of how each
alternative could be implemented and additional issues that will need to be resolved during
the implementation phase of this process.
4) Issues to Consider
Outstanding issues and implications relative to each alternative are highlighted in this
section.
As we have discussed, the purpose of this phase in the GRFA Analysis is to further understand the
issues and implications relative to each potential alternative. It is important to understand that it is
not the intention of this phase to resolve all potential issues related to each alternative. Rather, this
report identifies outstanding issues that would need to be addressed during the third and final step
in this process. This report will hopefully provide the PEC and Town Council with the information
needed to identify a preferred alternative to the existing GRFA system.

Alternative #1 - Interior Conversions
Description of Alternative
Modify zoning regulations in order to allow for additional GRFA in existing homes that currently
exceed allowable GRFA, provided such additions do not add to the bulk and mass of the home.
Similar to the 250 Ordinance, this alternative would only apply to existing homes. There would be
no change to the review process (i.e. GRFA system) for new construction. This approach is
intended to allow flexibility to owners of existing homes by allowing GRFA to be created within
the interior space of a home (i.e. loft additions, conversion of crawl space, etc).
Issues to be Addressed
• Alternative must provide assurances that modifications to homes do not increase building
bulk and mass.
Proposed Language
This alternative would be implemented with the additior? of a new chapter in the zoning code
similar in the manner in which the 250 Ordinance has been structured. This chapter would have
the following major sections:
1) Purpose
The puipose of this chapter is to pruvide flexibility and latitude in the use of interior spaces
within existing single-family and two-family structures that meet or exceed allowable
GRFA by allowing for the conversion of interior spaces to GRFA provided certain
conditions and standards are met.
2) Applicability
• Any existing single-family residence or any existing dwelling unit in a structure
containing no more than two dwelling units shall be eligible to add additional
GRFA in excess of existing or allowable GRFA provided that the additional GRFA
complies with the standards outlined in paragraph 3 below.
• Multi-family units are not eligible for additional GRFA permitted by the provisions
of this chapter.
3) Standards
• Proposals for the utilization of additional GRFA under this provision shall not add
to or increase the building bulk and mass of the existing structure. Examples of
exterior modifications which add to or increase building bulk and mass include, but
are not limited to any expansion of the existing exterior form of the structure, re-
grading around a structure in a manner which exposes additional exterior walls, the
expansion of existing roofs and the addition of roof dormers. Examples of exterior
modifications which are not considered to add to or increase building bulk and mass
include, but are not limited to the addition of windows, skylights and window-
wells.
• Proposals for the utilization of additional GRFA under this provision shall comply
with all Town of Vail zoning standards and applicable development standards.
• If the proposal involves the conversion of a garage or enclosed parking space to
GRFA, such conversion shall not reduce the total number of enclosed on-site
parking spaces.
Phase IUGRFA Analysis
4) Process
0 Application made to Department of Community Development to include applicable
forms, fees, and existing and proposed floor plans. Design review application shall
be required for all proposals involving modifications to exterior of buildings.
0 Community Department staff shall review application for compliance with this
chapter and all applicable zoning and development review regulations.
° Proposals deemed by the Community Department staff to be in compliance with this
chapter and all applicable zoning and development review regulations shall be
approved. Proposals deemed to not comply with this chapter and all applicable
zoning and development review regulations shall be denied.
° Upon receiving approvals pursuant to this chapter, applicants shall proceed with
securing building permit prior to initiating construction of project.
Issues to Consider
The "mechanics" of implementing the interior conversion alternative are fairly straight forward.
Outstanding issues pertain primarily to when this option could be utilized by a homeowner. For
example, the language outlined above states that the purpose of this alternative is to "provide
flexibility and latitude in the use of interioi• spaces within existin single-family and two-family
structures". This begs the question of when is a home "existing". The following summarizes
implications relative to the applicability of this alternative:
0 Allow interior conversions for all homes
The potential concern with allowing interioc• conversions for all homes is that new homes
will comply with GRFA but will be designed to allow for the conversion of space in the
future. For example, it would be relatively easy to design over-sized void spaces in
basement levels and to design additional or larger vaulted spaces on upper levels, both of
which could then be converted to floor area in the future if this alternative is available to all
homes. The end result of this scenario could be new homes that are larger than they would
otherwise have been if interior conversions were not permitted.
~ Reauire new construction (homes completed after adoption of this ordinance to wait a
certain time period prior to utilizing ordinance
If there is concern with the scenario outlined above, an alternative would be to require a
waiting period (i.e. the five years required for the 250 ordinance) before new homes could
apply for interior conversions. Having to wait a period of time could be a disincentive for
people who would otherwise design a home to accommodate future interior conversions.
However, this scenario does raise a question - if an interior conversion (and the potential
impact of larger homes designed specifically to utilize this provision) is deemed to be
acceptable after a five-year waiting period, why is it not acceptable after a one-year waiting
period, or a one-month waiting period?
~ Limit interior conversions to homes in existence at the time ordinance is adoDted
This is the cleanest way to implement the alternative. Limiting interior conversions to
homes in existence at the time the ordinance is adopted eliminates any potential concern
with homes being designed for future interior conversions. However, limiting interior
conversions to homes in existence at the time ordinance does raise an equity question - is it
fair to deny an owner who builds in the future the same opportunity available to other
homeowners?
Phase IUGRFA Analysis
Alternative #2 - Basement Space
Description of Alternative
This alternative would amend the definition of GRFA to exclude basement space from calculation
as GRFA.
Issues to be Addressed
• Develop a clearly stated definition of basement space, ensure that grades cannot be
artificially modified to allow for space to be interpreted as basement.
Proposed Language
The definition of GRFA includes paragraph 18.04.130 A. which excludes certain areas from
calculation as GRFA in buildings containing two or fewer units. In order to implement this
alternative, this paragraph would be modified with the addition of the following:
5. The floor area of any level of a structure that is located a minimum of six (6) feet below
natural grade (or existing grade prior to construction) at all points around the structure.
While this language is probably the cleanest, most straight forward way to exclude basement
space, is only excludes space that is 100% below gc•ade. This alternative would not exclude
basement space for walkout levels. An alternative for addressing walkout levels is the following:
5. The floor area of any level of a structure that is located a minimum of six (6) feet below
natural grade (or existing grade prior to construction) at all points around the structure. For
any level which is partly above and partly below grade, a calculation of the portion of the
subject level which is below grade shall be made in order to establish the percentage of the
level which shall be excluded from calculation as GRFA. This percentage shall be made by
determining the total percentage of lineal exterior wall of the subject level which is located a
minimum of six (6) feet below natural grade (or existing grade prior to construction) which
shall then be multiplied by the total floor area of the subject level, and the resulting total
shall be excluded from calculation as GRFA.
Issues to Consider
• Excluding basement space from cal.culation as GRFA will create the opportunity for new
"above grade" GRFA for new construction and for homes with basement space that was
previously calculated as GRFA.
• One of the goals of this process is to simplify the GRFA system. The second alternative
which addresses walkout levels would add to the complexity of the existing system.
Should the exclusion of basement space include walkout levels or be limited to basement
space that is 100% below grade?

Alternative #3 - Eliminate GRFA
Description of Alternative
This alternative would eliminate GRFA as a tool for controlling the bulk and mass of single-family,
duplex and primary/secondary buildings. In order to prevent the development of large, non-
descript boxes, this alternative would also include more restrictive site coverage standards for
larger lots and new design guidelines that specifically address building bulk and mass. Existing
GRFA regulations would remain in place for structures that contain more than two dwelling units.
Issues to be Addressed
Based on input from the community, the PEC and the Town Council, the major issues to address
relative to the potential implementation of tliis alternative are:
• Assurances/controls must be established to prevent the design and construction of large,
non-descript box-like structures.
• The DRB must be capable of interpreting and implementing any proposed modifications to
the design guidelines. • Any measures proposed to prevent large, non-descript box-like structures must not stifle
design creativity.
Proposed Language
This alternative would involve four major elements:
1) Initiate a"global search" of the zoning code to identify all references to GRFA pertaining to
single-family, duplex and primary/secondary development. Examples of these references
include:
• the definition of GRFA for buildings containing two or fewer units, and
• the reference to GRFA in the density section of single family, duplex and
primary/secondary zone districts.
2) New parking requirements for sing.le-family, duplex and primary/secondary units:
• A minimum of three (3) off street parking spaces shall be provided for each single
family unit or for each dwelling unit within a duplex or primary/secondary
structure. Parking requirements for Type II, III and IV EHU's shall be as per the
EHU Ordinance.
3) New site coverage regulations to limit the site coverage (and size) of homes on large lots:
Site coverage shall not exceed the total of:
1) 20% of the total site area for lots 25,000 square feet or less, plus
2) 10% of the total site area for any portion of a lot in excess of 25,000 square
feet.
With the exception of lots that exceed 30% slope, site coverage of 20% is currently
permitted on all lots regardless of size. The proposal below would introduce a graduated
scale similar to the existing GRFA formula whereby allowable site coverage would
decrease relative to the size of the lot. Refer to the accompanying chart for an analysis of
how this new regulation varies from existing site coverage standards.
4) New design guidelines for single-family, duplex and primary/secondary buildings which
specifically address bulk and mass:
Phase IUGRFA Analysis
Building Hei2ht. Bulk and Mass
The size and scale of single family, duplex and primary/secondary homes pIay an important
role in defining the character of neighborhoods and the overall visual image of a
community. Building height and site coverage regulations outlined in the Vail Zoning Code
establish quantitative standards which limit the overall size, or bulk and mass of buildings.
Notwithstanding these quantitative standards, site specific features such as vegetation and
topography and architectural solutions significantly influence the perceived bulk and mass
of a building.
An underlying goal for the design of single family, duplex and primary/secondary homes in
Vail is to ensure that buildings convey a human scale and are sensitive to their site. Large,
monumental buildings which in the determination of the DRB dominate their site and
express excessive bulk and mass are not permitted. The following guidelines are designed
to accomplish these goals by establishing parameters to ensure appropriate building bulk
and mass. These guidelines apply to all single family, duplex and primary/secondary
homes:
Building Hei~ht
Buildings should convey a predominantly one or two-story building mass. Three-story
massing may be approved by the DRB, however, large expanses of continuous three-story
building mass is not permitted. Generally, the footprint of a third floor should not exceed
50% of the floor area immediately below and horizontal and/or vertical building off-sets
should be provided to reduce the perceived bulk and mass of the building.
Buildin Form
In lieu of large, monumental building mass, buildings should be designed as either a
composition of smaller, integrated building forms or in a form which consists of one
primary building mass in conjunction with one or more secondary building forms.
Rid elines
Changes in the height and orientation of roof lines add variety and interest to buildings
which can reduce building bulk and mass. The extent of variations in the height and
orientation of ridgeline elevations is dependent upon the characteristics of a site and the
design of the building. Generally, the maximum length of any continuous ridgeline should
not exceed 50-70' without a change in the orientation of the ridgeline or a variation of at
least 34' feet in the elevation of the ridgeline.
Sloping Lots
Buildings on sloping lots should be designed to "step" with natural contours of the site in
order to maintain a predominantly one to two-story building mass.
Building Scale
A variety of architectural details can be incorporated into the design of a building to
reinforce human-scale and reduce the overall bulk and mass of a building. Use of the
following should be considered in the design of homes:
0 Dormers
0 Decks and balconies
0 Roof overhangs
0 Fenestration
Refer to the accompanying sketches for examples of how these design concepts can be more
clearly expressed in graphic form.
Phase IUGRFA Analysis
Issues to Consider
• In order to not limit architects design creativity, qualitative guidelines are proposed in lieu
of quantitative standards. This alternative places a great deal of responsibility in the hands
of the DRB, is the Board capable af this task?
• Are design guidelines explicit enough and will they provide the DRB with the tools
necessary to prevent "large, non-descript boxes"?
• Is it necessary to reduce allowable site coverage for larger lots or will a reduction to
allowable site coverage encourage taller buildings?
• Are three parking spaces per unit adequate or is some other formula (i.e. based on number
or bedrooms) necessary?
• Is there a need for design guidelines which address bulk and mass regardless of whether or
not changes are made to the GRFA system?

Other Issues Relative to GgtFA Asnenclments
1. Amendments for EHU's and Permanent Residents Only
During previous discussions comments were made to allow the provisions of these alternatives in
conjunction with the developinent of EHU's or only for permanent residents of Vail. These are
Town Council policy decisions. The information outlined above addresses the technical aspects of
each alternative. Limiting the applicability of these provisions to only EHU's andlor permanent
residents could be done. This would not, however, further the original intent of this process
which was to:
0 Evaluate the effectiveness of GRFA as a means for controlling building size
0 Address the time required to administer the current system
0 Resolve the appropriateness issue of the Town regulating interior floor space
Limiting the applicability of any GRFA amendment to either encourage EHU's or for the benefit of
permanent residents only could be incorporated into any of the three alternatives.
2. Vaulted Space
One recognized short-coming of GRFA is that it regulates floor area and not building volume and
as a result GRFA does not effectively control building bulk and mass. Aspen is the only
cammunity that has been identified which addresses vaulted space with floor area regulations. The
Aspen code essentially applies a multiplier to the floor area of vaulted space. For example, floor
area with 10' plate heights or less count at a ratio of one square foot for each one square foot. For
intec•ior areas with a plate height which exceeds 10', the ratio increases by .OS feet for each foot
over 10' up to a maximum ratio of two square feet for each one square foot (i.e. an interior space
with 15' ceilings is calculated at a ratio of 1.25 square feet for each one square foot of floor area).

Dear Susan,
- After a hectic hoiiday season and some January settling in,1 am belatedly writing to express our
. great delight in working with the Department of Community Development in the disaster repair
of Dominos Pizza, in the Vail Run Building, after their flood.
Everyone that we worked with (including Dan, Charlie, Lauren, and Russ) was aggressively
positive in helping us to get the store open by Christmas.
We built that store in 1988 for Arthur Cole (the owner), as well as a store in Glenwood and one
in Avon. Arthtir Cole is an old friend and supporter and when he calls, we respond and serve his
needs. He called me on Christmas Eve to emphatically express his thanks, and even surprise at
our success. I reininded him that we had a measure of luck and the complete support of the town
in helping us to open up with nothing but green lights.
In closing I'd like to say that whereas I've had my times of being unhappy and even perturbed
with Town of Vail policy or procedure, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to express my
gratitude for the friendly, positive, and professional assistance experienced at Commi.uiity -
Development.

Dear Mr. HaZtermann:
Thank you for your letter dated 01/22/97. We are always anxious to hear
suggestions on how our operation can be improved.
Attacned you will find a matrix describing our new rules regarding loading
and delivery in vail Village. This plan has been developed in cooperation
with village merchants, restauranteurs, lodge representatives, as well as
trucking companies, delivery serv4c2s, trash removal companies, etc., over
the Iast several months. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners
Association has represented the interests of residential property owners in
this process, as well.
We are certainly open te further moci=;cations, if necassary. You can
imagine that this issue sparks heated debate among all of the various
ir_terests in the Village. In working with community me:nbers, however, we
have hoped to strike a balance tnat is acceptabie to all.
As you can see by the matrix, we now allow trucks of all sizes "front
parking" to the businesses they serve until 8:30 a.m. After that, they may
only park in designated areas. One of those, willow Bridge Rd., is off
limits to big trucks after 12:00 noon but accessible to other trucks until
6:00 p.m. This should result in less truck traffic in that area.
The Vail Town Council will take up the matter of loadinq and delivery in
its work session on March 11, 1997. We hope they will endorse this plan at,
that time. Your concerns will be passed on at that meeting, however, your
presence is encouraged. _
Please don't hesitate to call me if you have any other questions or
comment s .
Thank you again for your correspondence.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL .

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Town Council,
As the property manager for both the Edelweiss and
the Summers Lodge, I am writiny you regarding truck parking
in Vail Village. In fact, I have written a letter a year _ for the past six years and the situation has only 5one from
bad to worse. Basically, my Associations are in support of
a plan that would place the responsibility of where trucYs
should par2c on the buildings and businesses who emFloy those
trucks.. Why should my Associations' inherit the problems created by someone else? • ~ :
In a related issue, I would also su.gport. a Ylan tnat _
would eliminate evening parking on Willow BridCe Road (to
the east of the Sumuners LodSe).. Oftentimes the-entry to_
this Froperty is blocked which makes eineryency access on:- this side of the buildinS impossible in the winter. Why are
a se]ect few allowed to park here when there is free parkinS .
in the Nar;:ins structure and. you are tryin5._to promote the -
idea of apedestrian village? May I suggest that once truck -
delivery has been accomplished, this parking area should be-
come a no parking zone until 6 A.M., (or whenever tricks-:are allowed to park again).. Whatever change you can make would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your consideration. Sincer2ly,
Ric;c Haltermann - -

WNSHEAD REDE!/ELOPnAEIVT NiASTER PLAIV
MOST FREQIJENTLY ASICED QUESTSOIVS
What 6s a Master P6aev 9
A master plan is a set of policies to guide future actions to achieve desired outcomes _
for development or redevelopment. The policies may be presented in the form of.
maps, narratives, or a combination of the two. The master plan allows for creative
solutions to be presented and implemented for specific issues and sites.
H0w does a Master P9an dlffer from a development projecf approval9
A master plan is a document which defines the collective goals for a number of
properties to achieve overall redevelopment or development objectives. A development
project approval is based, in part, on the master plan, but addresses a specific proposal
for one or more properties.
Why is thes Redeve0opment Master Planraing Process undeeway novv for
Lions/tead?
The timing of the master planning process is triggered by interest from Vail ,4ssociates
in the redevelopment of its Lionshead properties. Instead of evaluating redevelopment
plans on a piecemeal basis, the Vail Town Council has authorized a comprehensive
master planning process to make the fullest use of this renewal opportunity and to
achieve broader community objectives. The Town Council has identified six policy
objectives to serve as the foundation for the planning process. They are: renewal and
redevelopment; vitality and amenities; stronger economic base through increased "live
beds"; improved access and circulation; improved infrastructure; and creative financing
for enhanced private profits and public revenues.
What es a"pub9ec ariew corrador"9 Are prevate views protected ?
A public view corridor is a defined and delineated vievv from a specific place in publicly
accessed areas (e.g., walkways, roads, public open space, etc.) which is preserved and
protected from future development. All Town of Vail view corridors are set forth in
Chapter 18.73 of the Municipal Code. Private views, which are defined as any views
that are not identified in the Municipal Code, are not protected by TOV regulations.
This question was decided in the District Court case of Lamb vs. the Town of Vail and
the Vail,4th/etic C/ub. In that decision, the court upheld the Vail Town Council's refusal
to protect a private view when the proposed development was consistent with the
town's zoning regulations.
Wh0 has decision making aaethor6ty onvoo
The L90n5/'1Bead ~~dePlelOpmePilt MaSt@I' P1an9
Final approval of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan will be made by the
Vail Town Council.
,
Adoption of public view corridors in Lionshead?
Final approval of public view corridors in Lionshead will be made by the Vail
Town Council.
Specific aPeve/opment approvals?
Specific development approvals will be reviewed and approved/modified/denied
by the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission, the Vail Design Review
Board and/or the Vail Town Council, as provided by the Vail Municipal Code, on
a case-by-case basis. What is Vail Associates' ro/e in fhe Lionshead Redeve/opment Master Planning
process?
Vail Associates is both a catalyst in getting the master planning process underway and
a financial contributor to the Town's master planning process. The company is also a
direct participant in the process, joining other private sector interests who are actively
involved. That's because Vail Associates ultimately intends to submit a redevelopment
application for the properties it owns within the study area. Although the application will
need to be consistent with the eventual outcome of the master plan, it may or may not
reflect previously stated ideas expressed by the ski company. The Vail Associates
contact for this project is David Corbin of the Vail Associate Real Estate Group, (970)
845-2530.
What is the ro/e of Design INorkshop, lnc, in the Lionshead Redeve%pment
Master Planning process?
Design Workshop is the consultant which has been hired by the Town of Vail to work
with Town staff and the community in designing the Lionshead Redevelopment Master
Plan. The firm's responsibilities include: collecting and assimilating data; development
of program diagrams; coordination of all sub-consultants; analyzing design and
planning alternatives; development of the master plan based on public input and
recommendations by Town of Vail staff; development of a series of architectural
guidelines; creation of a digital data base for future planning and design use; and
assistance in facilitating the public forums. -
What is the role of the Town of Vail staff in the Lionshead Redeve/opment Master
Planning process?
Staff from the Community Development Department, Public Works/Transportation
Department and Fire Department, as well as the Community Information Office and the
Town Attorney, will work closely with Design Workshop and the community. The
Town's project manager for Lionshead Redevelopment is Susan Connelly, Community
Development Department Director, (970) 479-2140.
How will the "Stage Two Wish List" work?
As part of the public input component of the master plan process, interested members
of the community will be encouraged to provide to the planning and design team their
own ideas for development or redevelopment in the study area. The public's ideas will
be solicited through surveys, public forums and an Internet web site at
http://vail.neUlionshead. The suggestions from the pubtic will then be tested by the
design team for viability and practicality. Those ideas which are approved by the Town
Council will be included in the development of alternatives for the master plan.

center or some other amenity thaf wouid be suited for L?onshead? Is this the
geme and/or place to s9vare those thoughts?
The Stage Two "wish list" is the pertect time to share all ideas that will help achieve the
six policy objectives and urban design principles that will guide the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan process. Those ideas will be solicited between March 4
and April 1.
Haw we11 adl thes daga and enput be coordinated and processed9
. Design Vllorkshop and the Town of Vail staff are the coordinators and facilitators of the
master plan process.
Wel7 the study focus on 6nd6viduad properties9
All the properties within the study area will be individually reviewed and analyzed as
they relate to the existing zoning, existing regulatory constraints and opportunities,
existing conditions and configuration, and how they are affected by the design goals of
the design alternatives to be developed in Stage Three. It is too early in the process to
anticipate which properties will receive further design or analysis or what those
alternatives might 6e.
Wi4l ghe Master Plan force me to do arrything v+rith my L?onshead property?
No requirements will be imposed upon property not otherwrise seeking development or
redevelopment approval. The master plan will serve as a tool to achieve the six
community policy objectives adopted by the Town Council. fVew or revised
development regulations may be adopted to achieve implementation of those desired
goals, and it is possible that incentives for redevelopment may be adopted.
Will fhe Masger Plan dicgate the builcling height of afl propert6es 9
While building height regulations are both a constraint and an opportunity, it is too early
in the process to know exactly what changes to existing regulations wrill occur, if any.
PNe9l techneca9 informat6on be aeraiBab9e for enalevidua9 projects?
Yes, all mapping, data and other tangible information will become the property of the
Town of Vail and made available to the public.
Shou6d I paat my 6nd6~~dua6 redevelaprnerrt p/ans on hold?
That is an individual decision, however, after the adoption of the master plan in late
1997, there may be significant opportunities for redevelopment which are not allowed
under existing statutes, covenants and regulations.
Are you envo0ving major property owners9
All Lionshead property owners are encouraged to be involved in the master plan
process with the same enthusiasm and tenacity. iVo particular owners have been
singled out. Many owners already have participated and have expressed keen interest
in continuing their involvement.
r '
.
How much /and does Vail Associates own within the sfudy area?
Vail Associates owns approximately 28 acres within the 154-acre study area. The
study area is bounded on the north by I-70, on the east by Middle Creek (west of the
Vail Valley Medical Center), on the south by the Town of Vail boundary (south of Forest
Road, and not including single-family lots), and on the west by Red Sandstone Creek
(east of the Glen Lyon Office Building).
What is the cost of the Lionsheaal Redeve/opment Master P/anning process and
how are those costs divided betvereen the Town of Vail and Vail Associates?
The budget for the work program prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. is approximately $400,000 to be divided evenly between the Town of Vail and Vail Associates.
Additional sums may be spent by the Town, VA or other interested parties for feasibility
studies.
Is it ever too /ate for my participation and involvement?
There will be opportunities for public education and input within each of the five stages
of the Redevelopment Master Plan process, but for greatest impact, we encourage you
to get involved early on. To find out how, call Suzanne Silverthorn in the Town of Vail
Community Information Office at (970) 479-2115.

--Site Visit and Discussion of Flaum SDD
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council visited the site of a proposed
Special Development District which would allow for property on Buffehr Creek Road to
be subdivided into three single-family lots. The property is currently vacant and is
comprised of two duplex lots. For details, see evening meeting briefs.

Bridge Street and portions of Gore Creek Drive and Hansen Ranch Road; and 3) to
consider placement of a 10th Mountain Division soldier in Seibert Circle as part of the
Art in Public Places project. Following Slifer's presentation, other members of the
audience, including Joe Staufer and Jack Curtin, told of the need to stimulate business
in the Village and to regain Vail's competitive edge. The free parking proposal, they
said, would provide a tool to bring people back to town, vuhile heated pavers would
provide a long overdue improvement to the public areas. Staufer also expressed
concerns that Adventure Ridge, the mountaintop operation managed by Vail
Associates, was jeopardizing the community's ability to stimulate sales tax collections
(mountain operations are exempt from the town's sales tax). Also appearing before
the Council vuas Stan Cope, a member of the Vail Tomorrow Building Community team,
who said the free parking offer would help make Vail the "friendly" place it used to be.
The speakers acknowledged the town's current program of free three hour parking
upon entry into the structures between 6 and 9 p.m. has not been effectively marketed.
Other speakers on the topic included: Pepi Gramshammer, who asked, among other
things, that a statue of Pete Seibert be placed in Seibert Circle, calling the 10th
Mountain Division soldier concept inappropriate for Vail; Ron Riley, who suggested

creating "hassle free" programs such as valet parking to attract customers; Jim Lamont,
who predicted that free parking after 3 p.m. would not only revive business, but would
help retain quality employees who work in Vail; and Pepi Langegger and Hermann
Staufer, who both suggested the community pull together to work collectively on the
commerce issue.
In response to the Seibert Circle art piece request, Nancy Sweeney, Art In Public
Places (AIPP) coordinator, said the group learned early on in the process that Pete ,
Seibert didn't want the artwork to reflect his likeness. Seibert simply asked that his son
Calvin, an artist from New York, serve on the jury to help select the art work. AIPP
received 700 inquiries and 80 proposals from design teams interested in creating the
art piece. The jury has since narrowed the proposals to 5 semi-finalists. Each will
receive a$2,500 stipend from AIPP to develop their design proposals. The designs will
then be publicly displayed March 20, with recommendations from the AIPP 7-member
jury to follow. In response, George Knox and other members of the audience asked
that the opinions of the surrounding neighborhood be strongly considered during the
selection process. The final selection will rest with the Town Council.
In response to the expanded free parking proposal, Council members said they
understood the issues brought forth by the association, but expressed concern about
how to fund such a program. The town owes $12 million in debt service payments on
the parking structures between now and the year 2012. Sybill IVavas suggested
exploring a program that would reward skiers with free parking if they didn't leave the
structure until 8 p.m. She also said the Adventure Ridge attraction is an amenity that
helps visitors choose Vail as a destination. Perhaps, she said, the Village and
Lionshead cores need to create more "sizzle" to increase foot traffic. Michael Jewett
said he supported the need to look at creative alternatives, noting that he supported a
reduction in parking rates during the budget process. Paul Johnston said he, too,
would support expanded free parking if the program is shared jointly with the
community and is well thought out. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said
she would be contacting members of the audience to identify the target market for such
a program. Although such a program will not be implemented this season (it takes up to
4 weeks alone to re-program the parking rate computers), Council members agreed to
increase marketing of the current free evening parking program and asked members of
the association to do the same.
--Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council heard an update on the appraisal
for the Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement between the Town and the U.S. Forest
Service. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said the Rockledge Road parcel to be acquired
by the town is continuing to-receive attention by the Forest Service, the Town and Vail
Associates. Issues include a request by the Town to reconfigure the property lines and
a request by Vail Associates to add a covenant to the property for snowcat access and
snowmaking. Because the Forest Service appraisal is for the price of a single family lot
($2.4 million), Moorhead said the tUwn's interest is to retain the value of the lot with no
covenants. The town intends to acquire the property and sell it to adjacent property
owners who have encroachments on the property. Following the discussion, the
(more)
TOV Council Highlights/Add 2
Council voted 6-0 to approve a motion to accept the final appraisal for the properties to
be included in the exchange. For additional details, please see evening meeting briefs.
--Review Public Process for Public Works Seasonal Housing
The Council approved components of a public process for design and construction of
seasonal housing at the Public Works site north of the golf course. A
problem/opportunity statement and a list of seven givens were approved to provide a
framework for the process. The givens, as approved, are: . 1. Seasonal housing will be built on the Public Works site to fulfill a requirement of the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. P? building permit must be
issued by July 31, 1997, to fulfill this requirement.
2. The project is intended to address the housing needs of Town of Vail seasonal
wage earners and other critical governmental employees.
3. Given that employee housing is one of the top priorities of the community and that
availability of land is one of the most significant constraints to the development of
affordable housing, this opportunity will be optimized. Actual density on the site will be
determined through the conditional use process, based on the analysis of site
constraints, the recommendations of staff and the development team, and with input
from the community.
4. Although the existing berm along I-70 screens much of the Public Works day-to-day
operations, some or all of the housing may be visible above the existing berm after
construction.
5. All parking for the housing development will be provided on-site.
6. The site is zoned General Use and the proposed housing must be approved as a
Conditional Use by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The Design Review
Board must approve the design of the building(s) and the site plan.
7. Use of manufactured housing may be considered as a cost effective alternative for
this site. All construction will be consistent with the Town's Municipal Code and the
Uniform Building Code, including the design review guidelines as enforced by the
Design Review Board.
The public process schedule will include an open house for the community on Feb. 17
to review two conceptual design alternatives by the design-build team of Mark
Donaldson and Viele Construction. The schedule also includes a work session with the
Town Council and public meetings with the Planning and Environmental Commission
and Design Review Board. If the project is approved, construction could begin in June
with occupancy by Dec. 1. For additional details, contact Andy Knudtsen in the
Community Development Department at 479-2440.
--Review and Discussion of Vail Recreation District Master Plan, 1997-1999
Council members shared their comments on the Vail Recreation District Master Plan.
The comments will be fonwarded to the VRD by Council members Rob Ford and Kevin
Foley.

--Information Update
Council members received the following information:
• The town's proposed consulting contact with Design Workshop, Inc. for the
Lionshead redevelopment master planning process will be added to the Council
packet Feb. 7 for review. The Council will be asked to authorize the town
manager to sign the contract.
• A presentation on the Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) study will be
presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission on Monday, Feb. 17.
• Final sales tax collections for 1996 show collections totaling $13.7 million, up 5.2
percent from 1995 collections.
• A discussion on Vail Village Club construction compliance has been scheduled
for the Feb. 11 work session.
• Beginning Thursday, Vail Associates will begin providing transportation between
Vail and Breckenridge. The cost is $5 round trip with loading and unloading
occurring at Lion Square Lodge.
--Council Reports
Rob Ford distributed results of a patron survey developed by the Bravo! Colorado
Music Festival. Ford, noting that Bravo will be experiencing changes in its leadership
soon, suggested the town may need to take a proactive stance in retaining Bravo's
presence in Vail.
Kevin Foley said the Art In Public Places Board will hold a meeting on Thursday. '
--Other
Following a recommendation from Town Attorney Tom Moorhead, the Council voted 6-0
to approve a motion waiving any potential conflicts associated with Attorney Barney
White's continued representation of Lodge Tower. White had previously represented
both the Town and Lodge Tower in litigation on the exchange parcel. White will now
represent Lodge Tower independently.
Moorhead also said a decision by Judge Jones is expected at the end of February
following a two-day trial in Eagle County District Court last week over the Lodge Tower
expansion.
Kevin Foley noted the recent letter to the editor criticizing in-town bus service. He said
he talked with Mike Rose, transit manger, who said changes are already underway to
improve service. Those changes include adding more buses and more shifts to the in-
town route, and increased checks and balances to time the routes and improve spacing
of the buses.
Noting the ease with which the Vail Village Commercial Property Owners Association
was able to be placed on the Council's agenda, Foley said he was interested in making
sure the Council's agenda process allowed other groups or individuals to have the
same ability to be heard. That led to a discussion of the need for additional orientation

for incoming Council members and possibly adoption of a code of conduct for Council
members that would address communications channels and other protocol issues.
Town Attorney Tom Moorhead agreed to research the issue.
Bob Armour announced a Colorado Association of Ski Towns meeting scheduled for
March 18. Because that would conflict with the Council's regular evening meeting, the
Council agreed to explore options at an upcoming session.
Also yesterday, Council members asked Nioorhead to draft an ordinance on proof of
automobile insurance that would allow violators to be prosecuted in municipal court
rather than county court.

--Citizen Participation
_ There was no citizen participation.
--Consent Agenda
The Council voted 6-0 to approve four items on the consent agenda, including second
reading of an ordinance to allow van storage/transportation related businesses in
designated zone districts.
--Flaum Special Development District
The Council voted 6-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance creating a Special
Development District for property owned by Jim and Ronna Flaum. The SDD will allow
the site, currently consisting of two duplex lots, to be subdivided into three single-family
lots. In granting approval, with 9 conditions added by the Planning and Environmental
Commission, the Council also supported the additional condition that one employee
housing unit be required for the property. Also during discussion, Council member
Sybill IVavas suggested bear proof trash containers be added to the approval. Council
members will consider the bear proof container issue upon second reading of the
ordinance. Also last night, Councilman Paul Johnston vuondered if the town should
create a policy requiring all new homes to provide bear proof trash containers. For
additional information on the SDD, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community
Development Department at 479-2148.
--Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement
The Council voted 4-2 (iVavas, Johnston against) to approve an alternate list of
properties to be included in the Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement between the
town and the U.S. Forest Service. Originally, the town was hoping to acquire 14
like-valued properties totaling 77 acres from the Forest Service in exchange for 4 Town
of Vail properties totaling 82 acres. But because of a$1 million difference in the
appraised value of the proposed land exchange (with the town's acquisition totaling
(more)
. •
TOV Council Highlights/Add 5
$5.5 million compared to $4.5 million for the U.S. Forest Service), the town is now
faced with eliminating two or more of its selected properties to create a balanced
exchange. During discussion, Russell Forrest, the town's project manager, presented ,
two alternatives. One would eliminate three parcels, while maintaining the two West
Vail parcels which have drawn neighborhood opposition. The other would eliminate
three parcels, including one of the West Vail parcels. During discussion, the Council
heard from three West Vail residents who opposed inclusion of both West Vail parcels
(citing traffic concerns) unless the i:own guarantees the land will be preserved as open
space.
Council members indicated a separate process would be needed if the town wanted to
develop the properties for a park or affordable housing. In the end, a Council majority
voted to support the option that would eliminate the Garmish site in West Vail while
retaining the second West Vail parcel near the Town Manager's house, elimination of
parcel H in East Vail, as well as I-70 right of way west of Bighorn Creek. Next steps
include a Feb. 11 work session to review a draft exchange agreement; an evening
meeting on Feb. 18 to consider a resolution to direct the town manager to sign the
exchange agreement and to consider first reading of an ordinance that would provide
the authority to convey the town-owned land in the exchange to the Forest Service; and
an evening meeting on March 4 to consider second reading of the ordinance. Other
actions that would be required after the exchange include annexation/de-annexation
hearings and zoning hearings. For more information, contact Forrest in the Community
Development Department at 479-2146.

Dear Bob, Thanks so much for taking time out of a busy schedule to work writh our crew last
week. It was great meeting you, and it's our pleasure to be assisting the town of
Vail.
I firmly believe that once we get up and going on the cable system, the visitors
and residents of Vail will find us an important benefit to the area. Our
programming has been so well received in our other markets, that the chamber
- and city officials say they can't imagine not having us as part of their cable
television service!"
As we discussed, we have been negotiating with Fred Lutz for several months
regarding our placement on TCI's system, and we remain optimistic that
February will be our month. Any encouragement you might provide from an
official perspective will be greatly appreciated. Oftentimes a letter from the
mayor, town manager, or other local officials is all it takes to persuade the cable
operator to add the senrice.
;
Thanks again-for your support!

Mr. Tom Moorhead

Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657
February 3, 1997
Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of January 14 which was responding to my letter of
November 12, 1996.
The ground you refer to as "Rarcel D" I assume is that parcel labeled "S-10" on
the exchange map you sent last October - i.e. the 4+ acres on the South side of
Ptarmigan Road.
As I look at the whole situation involving a 75 and 80 acre exchange, I still
would appreciate an answer to my main question which you neglected to answer.
To quote from my last letter:
Regarding the "Financial Partnership" I have several questions.
(1) What "Financial Partnerships" are being proposed for the other
areas, specifically S-1, S-2, S-5, S-9, S-11, S-13, and S-14, all of
which seem to adjoin other residential areas?
(2) If S-10 the only area being singled out for "Financial
Partnership", who decided it, and on what basis is it justified to
single out this one parcel?
I definitely believe that the open space should be acquired by the Town of Vail
as a whole. The idea that adjoining landowners should have to buy specific parcels of
public land under threat of development and then donate same to the Town is
intimidating.
I will appreciate hearing from you.
Yours truly
