Re: Planning Corrrmission Dear Madame Clerk, With this letter I respectfully request that my name be considered as a candiate for the Planning Commission. I am enclosing herewith a resume describing my educational background. I am a full time resident of Vail living at 2075 West Gore Creek Drive. I am a 46 year old female with no other interest other than because I love this community very much and wish to serve in a substanative manner. I have practiced law for the last 12 years primarily as a as defense attorney, As you can see from my resume I have serve on both Georgetown University Board of Directors(1981-1983 Appointment) and Marquette University Law School Boards. (1986-1990). Both of these appointments were made by the respective Deans of Georgetown and Marquette and i fulf'illed the terms of both appointments. Although I do not have an architectural or engineering degree I believe I have the time and the interest in "doing my homework" and I certainly have the willingness to become educated about the issues. As you can also see from my resume I was appointed as a Judicial Court Commissioner in 1986- 1988. In that position I presided in Small Claims Court, Traffic Court and served as a Magistrate in Family Court. As a result of that very pressured and public experience, I understand fully the importance of consensus building and fair-mindedness. Please know of my sincere interest and committment to the future of Vail. I shall look - forward with great pleasure to meeting with the Town Council. Respectfully submitted, / Ann R.

I am interested in serving on the Planving and Environmental Commission of the Town of " Vail. I am 62 years old, an early retiree and full-time resident of Vail, I am a resident voter, resident in Vail since January 1994, and have no financial interest in any business or location in Vail except for my condominium and a couple of time-shares in the same complex which I used for my ski vacations to Vail before I retired I am very pleased with my choice of Vail as a place to retire and am interested in the general vitality and ambience of the community. In addition to maintaining a desirable , environment for the residents of Vail, I think it is important to have convenient accommodations for guests and well-maintained and safe pathways for the guests to access various parts of the town. I occasionally attend council meetings, and keep up on the community developments by reading the Vail Daily daily. I am only an occasional traveler and do not anticipate that I would be leaving Vail for extensive travel or stays in another location. Currently, I have no employment or business interests and have no plans for any such endeavors; of course, if an opporlunity that interests me presents itsel~ I may pursue it. but only if I can continue to reside in Vail. I worked the last 30 years before retirement at Mobil Research and Development Corporation, living in Princeton NJ. During my last 3 years of employment there, I also taught t$e senior course, "Economy of Chemical Processes," in Chemical Engineering at - Princeton IJniversity. Before joining Mobil, I was an 'assistant professor at Stanford's - Chemical Engineering Department. I have B. S., M. S., and Ph. D degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois. I feel that I can make rational decisions and, as stated before, am very interested in the community. Though I am short on applicable experience, I hope you will be able to give serious consideration of my application for the position. I am on the board of the Apollo Park at Vail Condominium Association and do not want to relinquish that position. So, if my position on that board would make me ineligible to serve, please withdraw my application. Thank you/,~ 1- G L •~{r?~i OOhll C.

' Re: Appointment to Town of Vail Design Review Board Dear Council Memtzers, I would like to apply for one of the vacancies on the Town of Vail Design Review Board. I am a registered architect in the state of Colorado with nine years of professional experience, and I am beginning my fourth year as a resident of the Vail Valley. I have lived in many states before settling in Colorado and have specialized in interpredng the regional architecture from A/Iartha's Vineyard to Seattle. Regional architecture varies from town to town. Vail, with its relatively short history as a town, has been creadng its own unique regional architecture. For this reason we have a critical resgonsibility as citizens and professionals to realize the limitadons and opgortunities available in our valley. I came to Vail in January of 1994 with a background of good design on a tight budget. The Vail Valley has provided me with the opportunity to explore design on almost uniimited budgets. I have worked with design review boards on both ends of the financial spectrum from affordable housing [o muld-million dollar homes. I believe that opportunities present themselves in the wake of limitadons. Though the Town of Vai! DRB may consistendy ride in this wake, their ability to create, encourage and support the town's opportunities is a critical factor in Vail's own regianal acchitecture. I would like to discuss with you how I may participate on the design review board. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. - Sincerely, Andrew James Abraham, qIA Andrew James Abraham, AIA . 2983 Be!lflower Drive , Vai!

With this in mind, I noted with interest the open boazd positions advertised in the Vail Daily. What a great opportunity! My a(rilities goint to an interest in either the Design Review Board or the Art in Public Places Board I'm 54 years old, owner of Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in the IvTinneapolis area and semi-retired. Linda and I have been married 27 years, have one son and are about to become grandparents for the first time. We've bcen visiting Colorado for more than thirty years and chose to make Vail our permanent home. Despite my restaurant career of some 38 years, I successfully completed five years at the University of Minnesota as a student in the School of Architecture with a minor in art history. Due to the unrimely passing of my father I elected to continue the famiiy business rather than and pursue a career in architecture. However, art and architecture are still my first loves. Also, as a builder of a number of restaurants, I lmow what its like to face a planning commission and a city council. My goal is always to find a winning solution. Often, the art and architecture of a community is expressive of the way the citizens of the town want to be Inown to the world Vail is such a town. The world visits Vail either in person, on Ty, the - Internet or in print every day. I believe the citizens of Vail want to le proud of the way they've "fixed the place up" and in so doing, presented themselves to the world They want the world to 1now just who lives here. I'm happy to be a.member of this cocnmunity and welcome the chance for an interview as a new boazd member. S' cerel , ~ Do G.

I am very interested in serving on a Town of Vail board. I believe my background and ^ experience wouad make me an ideal candidate fior the Design Review Board, -however l would not rule out other possibilities. Let me share some of my background that seems - relevant. I have been a frequent visitor and property owner in the Vail Valley since 1984. Last year I made the decision to make Vail my permanent home and now live in East Vail. My formal educational background consists of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Business, a Masters of Business Administration and I also hold the designation of Certified Financial Planner. During the last 28 years, I have held numerous positions in the corporate world in the fields of technology development, systems design, financial planning, strategic planning and middle management. The companies I have worked for include National Car Rental, Munsingwear and American Expressfinancial Advisors. 1 am nowteaching skiingfor-i7ai1 Associates. I have been very involved and interested in real estate throughout my working years. This includes working with architects and builders to design and bu"i1d -two personal residences in Minnesota, remodeling finro personal residences in Minnesota, as well as remodeling four rental condominiums in Vail and Florida. This has given me a'great deal of " experience and knowledge about the constraints and possibilities that must be considered in the building and remodeling processes. I am very interested in using my background, experience and time to contribute to the Vail community. I would greatly appreciate being considered for a board position for the Town of Vail. I am especially interested in serving on the Design Review Board and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, , . Mary E.

Box 2045 Vail, CO 81658 . March 17, 1997 " Dear Council Members: I am writing to express my interest in serving the Town of Vail as a member of the Design Review Board. I am a Vail resident, havirig lived with my wife and son in the Vail Commons since October of 1996. I am an employee of Design Workshop, Inc., a Vail landscape architecture and planning firm. I hold both a bachelors and a masters degree in landscape architecture, and have been practicing as a licensed landscape architect since 1991. My interest in the DRB comes from my professional and personal interest in the visual quality of the built environment, especially as it relates to urban settings such as Vail. I have been, and am currently, involved in several projects under way in Vail, and have had my own work reviewed by the DRB on several occasions. As a professional design consultant I occasionally represent clients making submissions to the DRB, and i firmly believe in the role of the DRB and other public review organizations as vital entities in insuring the functional and aesthetic quality of our community. I feel that my professional design background and technical experience related to the building industry would be a strong asset to the DRB, as ail aesthetic issues are ultimately related to the technical issues of how the project will be built. In my professional work, I deal with issues such as site grading and drainage, building orientation and height, landscaping, visual analysis, and other site design factors on a daily basis. I have attached a copy of my resume for your information, and if appointed, I look forward to this position of public service. Thank you. . Sincerely, ~ K.

Zaden for positions of increasing responsibility. I have known Cathy Zaden for the past ten (10 ) year,, principally in the capacity as her supervisor when she served as administrator with the Broward County Cultural Affairs Division from 1985 - 1990 and as a professional and personal associate following her county service. Ms. Zaden is the type of employee which all employers desire. She possesses the executive ability to handle a substantial workload and to independently direct the implementation of a program or special event. During the period of Ms. Zaden's empIoyment, the division experienced a high rate of growth. She had the capacity to conceive, coordinate, and implement new programs in ares education, grants to not-fc: -profit organizations and cultural tourism marketing with very Iittle direction. During the past several years, I again had the opportunity to work with Ms. Zaden as co-owner of Great Locations. She was able to create a new concept to fill a community need for an upscale tourism pubIication serving U.S. and foreign visitors. Broward County Cultural Affairs purchased a variety of advertisements to promote the arts. The ads were outstanding and added to ttie visitor base of cultural institutions. On a personal basis, Ms. Zaden has wonderfu] interpersona] skills. She haz a charming manner and personal warmth that provides outstanding results in her dealings with the community. I would recommend Cathy Zaden without hesitation for any position. Sincerely, Mary .

Even though Cathy is very beaufiiful, her best assets are reflected in her character, loyaliy, anci honesty that have been indelibly etcheci within her and as a consequence it forms the code by which she lives. Sometime ago, Cathy along with a parfiner, starfied a local magazine entitled "Great I,ocations." This magazine was highly successful and she received many accolades for her creatide and distinctive work. I wholeheartedly endorse Cathy for any company worth.y, of her abilities. There's no question in my mind that she can capabIy perform the tasks assigned to her and that she can work well with associates from all wallcs of life. Cathy is a friend, but more than that she's a very good person, and I'm pleased and proud to be asked to write this letter of recommendation for her. SincereIy, . MEMQRANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: March 4, 1997 SUBJECT: A request for the establishment of Special Development District fVo. 35, Austria Haus, located at 242 East Meadow Drive/on a part of Tract C, Block 5-D, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., represented by Gordon Pierce Planner: George Ruther DESCR9PT'10N OF THE RECdUEST The applicant is proposing to establish a new special development district to facilitate the redevelopment of the existing Austria Haus. The Austria Haus redevelopment proposal is intended to provide additional hotel and "hotel-type" accommodation units in the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to incorporate 22 member-owned club units (fractional fee club units with 27 lock-off units), with 26 hotel rooms and one on-site manager's residence (employee housing unit). The applicant is proposing 4,440 square feet of new commercial/retail space on the main level of the Austria Haus. The Austria Haus proposal includes a front desk reception and registration area operating 24 hours a day and seven days a week, a lounge, an exercise room, member ski storage and other accessory facilities commonly associated with hotels and lodges. BACKGROI.DND On February 24, 1997, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) recommended approval of the request for the establishment of Special Development District No. 35, Austria Haus and approved a conditional use permit for a Fractional Fee Club. The vote was unanimous (6-0-1 (Pratt abstained)). The PEC's recommendation for approval carried with it numerous conditions. The PEC's recornmending conditions of approval are listed in Section 6 of Ordinance No.4, Series of 1997. PROCESS Chapter 18.40 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code provides for the establishment of Special Development Districts (SDD's) in the Town of Vail. The February 24, 1997 staff memorandum to the PEC details the purpose and criteria for evaluating the merits of a proposed SDD. To summarize: 1 I 1. The purpose of a Special Development District is: "To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of the newr development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utitities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan." 2. The Approved Development Plan for an SDD establishes the uses and guidelines for development of the subject property. Sections 4 and 5 of Ordinance No. 4 outline the development standards for the Austria Haus. 3. The Municipal Code of the Town of Vail provides nine design criteria which shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed Special Development District. The nine criteria include: A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52. of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plan. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, ` vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. 1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district.

Please refer to the February 24, 1997, Staff Memorandum for details. 2 ZOP91NG ANALVSIS The development standards for a Special Development District shall be proposed by the applicant. Development standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density control, site coverage, landscaping and parking and loading shall be determined by the Town Council. Before the Town Council approves development standards that deviate from the underlying zone district, it shall be determined that such deviations provide benefits to the Town that outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations. This determination is to be made based upon the evaluation of the proposed Special Development District's compliance with the Review Criteria. The Community Development Department staff has prepared a Zoning Analysis for the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment based on the revised plans submitted by the applicant. The Zoning Analysis compares the development standards outlined by the underlying zone district of Public Accommodation and Ordinance #8 (SDD #12/1984) to the proposed Special Development District #35. Wherever the proposed development standards deviate from the underlying zoning of Public Accommodation, the standards are highlighted in bold 4ype.

Applicant: Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., represented by Gordon Pierce Planner: George Ruther 1. DESCRIPTIOtd OF THE REQUESTS A. The Establishment of aSpecial Development District The applicant, Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., represented by Gordon Pierce, is requesting a final review meeting with the Planning and Environmental Commission for the establishment of Special Development District #35, located at 242 East Meadow Drivelon part of Tract C, Block 5-D, Vail Village First Filing. The applicant is proposing to establish a new Special Development District overlay to the underlying zone district of Public Accommodation, to facilitate the redevelopment of the existing Austria Haus. The applicant has proposed significant improvements to the existing Austria Haus property. The Austria Haus is intended to become a member-owned resort club/lodge, comprising a mix of hotel accommodation units and finro and three-bedroom club units with associated club amenities/facilities. The Austria Haus proposal is intended to provide additional hotel and "hotel-type" accommodation units in the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to incorporate 22 member-owned club units (fractional fee club units with 28 lock-off units), with 25 hotel rooms and one on-site manager's residence (employee housing unit). The applicant is proposing 4,440 square feet of new commercial/retail space on the main level of the Austria Haus. The Austria Haus proposal includes a front desk reception/registration area operating 24 hours a day and seven days a week, a lounge, an exercise room, member ski storage and other accessory facilities commonly associated with hotels and lodges. The applicant has identified what they believe to be public benefits which will be realized as a result of the Austria Haus redevelopment. The public benefits identified by the applicant include: 1 ~ 1. An increase in the annual occupancy of the Austria Haus by approximately four times. 2. The addition of approximately 4,000 square feet of retail space (sales tax generating). 3. The implementation of the recommended Streetscape Master Plan improvements to East Meadow Drive. 4. The completion of the commercial loop in the Village via the construction of a well-lit, heated pedestrian walkway. 5. The removal of 25 surface parking spaces and the construction of an underground parking structure. 6. Landscape improvements to Slifer Square, East Meadow Drive and the Gore ~ Creek streambank. B. Conditional flJse Permit The applican4 is also requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the consfruc4ion of aFractional Eee Club as part of the Austria Haus redevelopmen4. As mentioned previously, the applicant is proposing Yo incorporate 22 9ractional fiee club uni4s into the Austria Haus. Each of the club units will be sold in one-ninth shares. On January 21, 1997, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance #22, Series of 1996, an ordinance amending Section 18.04, Definitions, adding "Fractional Fee Club" and "Fractional Fee Club UniY", amending Section 18.22.030, Conditional Uses, allowing fractional fee club as a conditional use in the Public Accommodation Zone District, amending Section 18.60.060(A)(7), Conditional Use Permit Criteria-Findings. The review of the Austria Haus proposal will be according the procedures prescribed in Chapter ~ 18.60 of the Municipal Code. A copy of Ordinance #22, Series of 1996, has been attached for reference. II. fBACKGROUND The Austria Haus was originally constructed in the mid-1960's as 4n inn to accommodate destination skiers. In 1979, the Austria Haus was purchased by the Faessler family who planned to redevelop the property into the Sonnenalp Hotel. In 1984, Ordinance #8 was approved by the Vail Town Council establishing Special Development District #12. Special Development District #12 adopted an approved development plan for the redevelopment of the Austria Haus. V11hen Ordinance # 8 was adopted, the Town Council placed an eighteen-month time limit on the approval of the SDD. The approval of SDD # 12 lapsed eleven years ago, on October 2, 1985. The approved development plan was never implemented, and instead, the Austria Haus underwent a remodel. Since the completion of the remodel, the Austria Haus has served as an annex to the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus located at 20 Vail Road. The Austria Haus has 37 hotel rooms (accommodation units) totaling 10,100 sq. ft. with approximately 75 pillows" and is operated eight months each year by Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. There is a small restaurant and bar in the Austria Haus that serves the guests and a small retail outlet on the east end of the building. The hotel rooms are marginal in size (300 sq. ft. average) and lack certain hotel amenities, by today's standards. 2 ` According to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the applicant's property is zoned Public Accommodation. The Public Accommodation Zone District is intended to provide sites for lodges and residential accommodations for visitors, together with such public and semi-public facilities and limited professional offices, medical facilities, private recreation, and related visitor-oriented uses as may be located in the same district. The Public Accommodation District is intended to provide sites for lodging units with densities not to exceed 25 dwelling units per acre. The Public Accommodation Zone District, prior to January 21, 1997, did not permit interval ownership. Interval ownership was only allowed as a conditional use in the High Density Multi-Family Zone District pursuant to Ordinance #8, Series of 1981. III. ZOPJING AIdALYSIS The development standards for a Special Development District shall be proposed by the applicant. Development standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density control, site coverage, landscaping and parking and loading shall be determined by the Town Council as part of the approved development plan, with consideration of the recommendations of the Planning and Environmental Commission and staff. Before the Town Council approves development standards that deviate from the underlying zone district, it shall be determined that such deviations provide benefits to the Town that outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations. This determination is to be made based upon the evaluation of the proposed Special Development District's compliance with the Review Criteria outlined in the following section. The Community Development Department staff has prepared a Zoning Analysis for the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment based on the revised plans submitted by the applicant on February 12, 1997. The Zoning Analysis compares the development standards outlined by the underlying zone district of Public Accommodation and Ordinance #8 (SDD #12/1984) to the proposed Special Development District #35. For comparative purposes only, and at the request of the Planning and Environmental Commission, staff has included the approved development standards of Special Development District # 30, (the Vail Athletic Club). Wherever the proposed development standards deviate from the underlying zoning of Public Accommodation, the standards are highlighted in bold type. 3 ~ , AusTRiA HAus Lot size: 24,089 sq. ft. /0.553 acres Buidable area: 24,089 sq. ft. /0.553 acres Development Underlying Zoning Ordinance #8 Proposed SDD Standard of Public Accommodation (SDD #12/1964) ;GRFA: 80% or 19,271 sq, ft. 118% or 28,591 sq. ft. 168% or 40,429 sq. ft.

THE SPECIAL DEVELOPnJIEP1T DISTRICT ESTABLISHMENT PROCESS Chapter 18.40 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code provides for the establishment of Special Development Districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 18.40.010, the purpose of a Special Development District is, "'To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of the new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in 4he Vail Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development District, in conjunction with the properties underlying zone district, shall establish 5 , ' the requiremen4s for guiding development and uses of property included in the Special Development Distric4." The Municipal Code provides a framework for the establishment of a Special Development District. According to the Municipal Code, prior to site preparation, building construction, or other improvements to land within a Special Development District, there shall be an approved development plan for the Special Development District. The approved development plan establishes requirements regulating development, uses and activity within the Special Development District. o Upon final review of the proposed establishment of a Special Development District, a report from the Planning and Environmental Commission stating its findings and recomrnendations and a staff report shall be forwarded to the Town Council, in accordance with the provisions listed in Section 18.66.060 of the Municipal Code. The Town Council's consideration of the Special Development District shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.66.130 - 18.66.160 and approved by two readings of an ordinance. An approved development plan is the principal document in guiding the development, uses and activities of the Special Development District. The development plan shall contain all relevant material and information necessary to establish the parameters with which the Special Development District shall adhere. The development plan may consist of, but not be limited to, the approved site plan, floor plans, building sections and elevations, vicinity plan, parking plan, preliminary open space/landscape plan, densities and permitted, conditional and accessory uses. The determination of permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be made by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council as part of the formal review of the proposed development plan. Unless further resiricted through the review of the proposed Special , Development District, permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be limited to those permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the pcoperties underlying zone district. The Municipal Code provides nine design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed Special Development District. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The staff has addressed each of the nine SDD review criteria below: A. Design compatibility and sensitivi4y to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building heighf, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The staff believes it is helpful to summarize the architectural design issues that have been previously identified by the staff and the PEC, and have been addressed by the applicant over the course of the five preceding worksession meetings. Jeff Winston of Winston & Associates, Inc., has provided consultation on the proposed urban design elements, architecture and site planning proposed by the applicant. Jeff's comments are in response to the revisions made by the applicants after the worksession meeting held on January 13, 1997. Jeff was at the February 10th PEC worksession and discussed his comments. ~ 6 North Elevation 1. The front entry to the Austria Haus was relocated to the west of the building to accommodate guest drop-off and reduce vehicular traffic on East Meadow Drive, east of the existing traffic control gate location. The front drop-off area was also reconfigured to provide better traffic circulation and reduce confficts between pedestrians and vehicles. 2. The northeast corner of the building was reduced in size to open this portion of , the site to Slifer Square, and to provide additional articulation and visual interest to the north elevation. These changes were made in response to concerns ' expressed by Jeff Winston and the staff. 3. The northeast corner of the building will no longer be used for a bus shelter. The proposed bus shelter was determined to be too far removed from the actual location where a bus will stop. The applicant has proposed a new location for a bus shelter east of the Austria Haus in Slifer Square. The bus shelter has been designed in cooperation with the Town of Vail Public Works Department. 4. The balconies on the north side of the Austria Haus have been eliminated. The elimination is a result of the applicanYs desire to increase the square footage of the accommodation units located on the second and third levels of the building. The loss of the balconies has created more building mass along East Meadow Drive, however, staff believes this change has been successfully mitigated by the applicant. South Elevation 1. Staff was concerned that the south elevation was too repetitive, too linear and lacked the architectural interest of the north elevation. The applicant has removed two of the chimney chases from the south elevation in an attempt to eliminate the repetitive nature of the design. Staff would recommend that the applicant further modify the south elevation as the elevation still appears too repetitive. Staff would again recommend that the applicant explore ways of reducing the repetitive nature of the south elevation. Staff believes these changes are aesthetic in nature and can be addressed at the time of Design Review. 2. The original design proposed commercial retail space on the first level, on the south side of the building. After discussions with the PEC, this space was removed because there was a concern about pedestrian circulation, the need for off-site improvements and potential impacts on adjacent property owners. The commercial retail space was replaced with three, fractional fee club units. East Elevation 1. The eastern end of the building has been reduced in width and the corner "cut back," as recommended, to open up the Austria Haus to Slifer Square. This change also provides a horizontal step in the alignment of the building, along East Meadow Drive. , 7 I 2. Concerns were expressed over the use of a flat roof on a portion of the east end of the building. The flat roof portion has been eliminated and a dormer and exterior deck have been introduced. Staff believes this change results in a much improved east elevation by providing an increase in architectural interest and detail. West Elevation 1. The west end on the Austria Haus has been changed substantially in response to concerns raised by the staff, Jeff Winston, Village Center merchants and the , adjoining property owners. The applicant originally proposed a much taller west elevation and a covered garage entry. The covered entry has been removed to reduce building mass and eliminate building encroachments into the 20-foot side setback. The height of the west elevation has been reduced by further clipping the hip back, lowering the eaveline and dropping the ridge elevation. 2. The west end of the building was increased slightly in width. The increased width allows the northwest corner of the building to move closer to East Meadow Drive, improving the streetscape. 3. Additional landscaping plantings are proposed along the western end of the building. The additional landscaping is intended to screen the garage entrance from the Village Center residential units and buffer the vehicle activity in this area. The landscaping extends onto Village Center property. A copy of an approval from Village Center has been attached for reference. Staff believes the applicant has designed a structure which relates well to the site and the surrounding neighborhood. The mass of the Austria Haus is appropriate for the site and takes into consideration the massing of the buildings on the adjoining properties. The building steps down on the east and west ends to insure a smooth transition between properties and does not create an imposing "canyon" along property lines. The north side of the Austria Haus was designed with a pedestrian scale in mind. The retail shops on the north side of the Austria Haus create a commercial connection along East Meadow Drive, between Slifer Square and the Village Center retail shops. The commercial connection has been missing along this portion of East Metidow Drive and staff believes that the Austria Haus will enhance the character of the Village. The exterior building materials of the Austria Haus are a mixture of stone, stucco and wood. The roof material is proposed to be a reddish, tile-type roof similar to the material used on the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus. The applicant has proposed to incorporate irrigated flower boxes into the design of the structure. The use of divided light windows all around the building creates a European-feel and reduces the appearance of too much glass. Staff believes that the combination of building materials has been well incorporated into the design of the Austria Haus. The applicant has proposed that the exterior stucco color be an off-white to yellowish/cream color to blend in with the exteriors of the Mountain Haus and the Village Center buildings. The height of the Austria Haus exceeds the allowable building height of the Public Accommodation Zone District by approximately nine feet. The development standards for the underlying zone district indicate that the maximum height for buildings with sloping roofs shall be 48 feet. The applicant is requesting that the maximum building height for the Austria Haus be approximately 57 feet. The 57-foot building height is based on existing (1997) topography of the Austria Haus property, and not the original topography of the site (pre-1963). Original topography of the site is not available, since the Austria Haus was constructed in Vail prior to zoning (and prior to the requirement that a 8 topographic survey be submitted prior to development). Staff believes, based upon the location of the existing retaining walls and the condition of the streambank, that the site was "cuY" when the Austria Haus was built. While it is difficult to know exactly how much of the site was "cuY", staff would conservatively estimate that approximately 2- 3 feet of soil was removed. Given this conservative consideration, staff would estimate the actual building height proposed for the Austria Haus would be 54 - 55 feet. According to the Vail Village Master Plan Conceptual Building Height Plan, the Austria Haus should be 3-4 stories in height, with a building story being approximately nine feet, excluding the roof. The plan further indicat_es that one additional floor of residential/lodging may also be accommodated on the Austria Haus site. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The Austria Haus is located immediately adjacent to the Vail Village Commercial Core. The Austria Haus is bound on the east by Slifer Square and the Mountain Haus, on the west by the Village Center residential/commercial buildings and on the south by Gore Creek, the Covered Bridge Building, Gasthof Gramshammer and the Creekside Building. Each of these buildings are a mixed-use development incorporating commercial/retail space with residential and/or accommodation units. The applicant is proposing a mixed-use development that is in compliance with the uses allowed in the underlying zone district. The underlying zoning of Public Accommodation encourages the development of lodges (accommodation units) and accessory eating, drinking and retail establishments at a density of twenty-five dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing to redevelopment the Austria Haus at a density of 35 dwelling units per acre, with 4,440 sq. ft of commercial/retail space on the main level of the building. ~ Included in the density figure are twenry-two member-owned club units (fractional fee), twenty-five hotel rooms (accommodation units) and one on-site manager's residence (Type III, Employee Housing Unit). The applicanYs proposal differs greatly from the existing use of the property. Currently, the Austria Haus includes thirty-six accommodation units, and one dwelling unit, equaling nineteen dwelling units per acre, a restaurant and a limited amount of commercial/retail space on the east end of the building. Parking at ihe Austria Haus is accommodated by a twenty-five space surface parking lot. Of the twenty-five spaces, fifteen are considered legal, non-conforming parking spaces. The other ten spaces are off-site and are not considered legal parking spaces for zoning purposes. An informal load i ng/del ivery/trash area exists on the west end of the building. Emplovee Housing Requirements As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing affordable housing for emplayees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the planning process for Special Development District proposals. In reviewing the Austria Haus proposal for employee housing needs, staff relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. The Employee Housing Report, was prepared for the Town by the consulting firm Rosall, Remmen and Cares. The report provides the recommended ranges of employee housing units needed based on the type of use and the amount of floor area dedicated to each use. Utilizing the guidelines prescribed in the Employee Housing Report, the staff analyzed the incremental increase of employees (square footage per use), that result from the Austria Haus redevelopment. A copy of the ".Sug.gested Employment 1 9 ['atPqories and Ranges for Vail Expressed as Em I~oyees per 1000 Sauare Feet" has been attached for reference. The figures identified in the Housing Report are based on surveys of commercial-use employment needs of the Town of Vail and other mountain resort communities. For comparison purposes, Telluride, Aspen and Whistler B.C. all have "employment generation" ordinances requiring developers to provide affordable housing for a percentage of the "new" employees resulting from commercial development. "New" employees are defined as the incremental increase in employment needs resulting from commercial redevelopment. Each of the communities assesses a different percentage of aff,ordable housing a developer must provide for the "new" employees. For example, Telluride requires developers to provide housing for 40% (0.40) of the "new" employees, • Aspen requires that 60% (0.60) of the "new" employees are provided housing and Whistler requires that 100% (1.00) of the "new" employees be provided housing by the developer. In comparison, Vail has conservatively determined that developers shall provide housing for 15% (0.15) or 30% (0.30) of the "new" employees resulting from commercial development. When a project is proposed to exceed the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 30% (0.30) figure is used in the calculation. If a project is proposed at, or below, the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 15% (0.15) figure is used. The Austria Haus Special Development District proposal exceeds the density permitted by the underlying zone district, and therefore, the 30% figure shall be used. According to the applicant, in 1997, Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., will need to employ 36 individuals to operate the existing Austria Haus. This employee figure takes into account the maximum staffing requirement for the Christmas and President's Day weeks. Of the 36 individuals, five are needed to staff the front desk, 13 are required for housekeeping purposes, 16 are needed to operate the bar and restaurant, and the remaining two individuals are needed to provide other facilities support functions. Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. has provided proposed employment figures for the operation of the redeveloped Austria Haus. Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. estimates a need for approximately 32 employees, plus an unknown retail need. Excluding retail, this figure indicates a slight reduction in the employment need. The reduction in employment need is due to the removal of the bar and restaurant operation from the Austria Haus. After redevelopment, the Sonnenalp will only be providing contin'ental food service to the guests of the Austria Haus. A copy of the "Austria Haus Staffing Roster" has been attached for reference. E41NPLOVEE HOIISING GENERAT00N ANALYSIS The staff analysis below indicates the top, the middle and the bottom of the ranges recommended by the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report, as well as a staff recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing needs of the Austria Haus. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows: 10 Bottom of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commerciai = 3,660 sq. ft. @(5/1000 sq. ft.) =18.3 employees b) Office: Real Estate = 780 sq. ft. @(6/1000 sq. ft.) = 4.7 employees c) Lodging"` = 25 units @(0.25/room) = 6.2 employees d) Multi-Family (club units) = 22 units @(0.4/unit) = 8.8 employees Total =38.0 employees (-36 existing employees) = 2 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) =1 new employee Middle of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commercial = 3,660 sq. ft. @(6.5/1000 sq. ft.)=23.8 employees b) Office: Real Estate = 780 sq. ft. @(7.5/1,000sq. ft.) = 5.9 employees c) Lodging* = 25 units @(0.75/room) =18.7 employees d) Multi-Family (club units) = 22 units @(0.4/unit) = 8.8 employees Total =57.2 employees (-36 existing employees) =22 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) = 7 new employees T4q of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commercial = 3,660 sq. ft. @(8/1000 sq. ft.) =29.3 employees b) Office: Real Estate = 780 sq. ft. @(9/1000 sq. ft.) = 7.0 employees c) Lodging* = 25 units @(1.25/room) =31.2 employees d) Multi-Family (club units) = 22 units @(0.4/unit) = 8.8 employees Total =76.3 employees (-36 existing employees) =41 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) =13 new employees ~11 Staff Fiecommended Range Galculations: The staff believes that the Austria Haus redevelopment will create a need for 34 additional employees. Of the 34 additional employees, at least 11 employees (30%) will need to be provided deed-restricted housing by the developers of the Austria Haus. The staff recommended range is based on: 1. the type of retail and office use proposed in the commercial space within the Austria Haus; 2. the size of the Austria Haus lodging component; and 3. the high-level of services and amenities proposed by the developers for the guests of the Austria Haus. a) Retail/Service Commercial = 3,660 sq. ft. @(6.5/1000 sq. ft.)=23.8 employees (middle of range) b) Office: real estate = 780 sq. ft. @(7.5/1000 sq. ft.) = 5.9 employees (middle of range) c) Lodging° = 25 units @(1.25/room) =31.2 employees (top of range) d) Multi-Family (club units) = 22 units @(0.4/unit) = 8.8 employees (range does not vary) Total =69.7 employees (-36 existing employees) =34 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) =11 new employees 'Lodging has a particularty large variation of employees per room, depending upon factors such as size of facility and level of senrice/support services and amenities provided. Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two employees per bedroom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible of accommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type I II employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. The applicant has indicated the many of the Austria Haus' operational and functional needs will be met by combining services with the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus. For example, the following services will be shared with the Bavaria Haus: o Marketing and Sales ? Accounting ? Reservations o Laundry Facilities ? Room Service ? Employee Cafeteria ? Human Resources - 0 Purchasing o Trash Removal , ~ 12 While it makes sense from a operational standpoint for the Austria Haus to share certain operational and functional needs with the Bavaria Haus, there is some question as to whether the Austria Haus should be required to be a stand-alone operation. Staff further questions how the delivery of goods (linens, trash, food, etc.) will be accomplished and whether an adequate amount of common storage space for housekeeping purposes is being provided. The use of East Meadow Drive for the delivery of goods and services has been increasing, resulting in pedestrian conflicts and traffic congestion, and therefore, additional delivery vehicle traffic should be avoided. Staff would recommend that the applicant address these issues and concerns with the PEC. Overall, staff believes that the density and uses proposed by the applicant for the Austria Haus do not conflict with the compatibility, efficiency or workability of the surrounding uses and/or activities. In fact, staff feels that the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment will enhance the existing uses and activities in the Village. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52. of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Parking and loading requirements for development are established in Chapter 18.52 of the Municipal Code. The parking and loading requirements are based on the square footage of the uses proposed within a building. Based on the square footage of the uses proposed by the applicant, 79.26 parking spaces and one loading/delivery berth are required on-site. The Municipal Code allows "grandfathering" of the existing legal non- conforming parking spaces. Currently, fifteen legal, non-conforming parking spaces exist on the property. Therefore, the parking requirement for the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment is 64.26 new parking spaces. The applicant is proposing an underground parking structure designed to accommodate forty-eight parking spaces and an enclosed trash facility. This leaves 16.26 additional parking spaces required. The applicant is proposing to meet the additional parking requirement by paying into the Town of Vail Parking Fund. Parking spaces are currently valued at $16,333.38. The cost per parking space will increase on January 1, 1997, as the figure is adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index. The applicant will be required to pay-in-lieu at the designated rate, at the time of building permit application. The Town of Vail Finance Department states that the 1997 adjusted rate is not yet available. It is believed the adjusted rate will be available by March 1, 1997. The applicant is proposing one loading/delivery berth in the front entry drop-off area, located on the north side of the building, adjacent to East Meadow Drive. Much of the drop-off area is within Town of Vail right-of-way. Staff recognizes that this area is conveniently located near the entrances to the front desk and the commercial/retail shops, however, we feel that the use of the drop-off area may be compromised by the loading and delivery of goods. In staff's opinion, the front entry drop-off area should be used by the guests of the Austria Haus. Staff believes that trying to accommodate loading and delivery in this area will result in conflicts between guests, vehicles accessing the parking structure, and delivery trucks. Staff would recommend that the applicant revisit the alternative of providing the loading and delivery facility in the underground parking structure. Staff understands this is not the desire of the owners of the Village Center Condominiums, yet we believe the impact can be mitigated with appropriate screening. 1'3 D. Conformi4y vvith the applicable elemen4s of the !/ail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and flJrban Design Plan. Vail Land 4Jse Plan The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process of establishing a new Special Development District. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies are relevant to the review of this proposal: ` 1: General Grow+4h/Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water, and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgrade whenever possible. 1.4 The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new development in the Village Core through continued implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing ' developed areas (infill). 1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 3. Commercial . 3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skier. 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 4. Village Core/Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through the implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 1 14 ~ Residential 5.1 Quality timeshare units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. Staff believes the proposed establishment of the new Special Development District (#35) is in concert with the goals and policies of the Vail Land Use Plan as outlined above. Vail Village Master Plan , The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to serve as a guide to the staff, review boards and Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and in legislating effective ordinances to deal with the such development. The staff has identified the following goals, objectives and policies as being relevant to this proposal: Goal #1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale o4 the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and iden4ity. 1.1 Objective: Implement a consistent Development Review Process to reinforce the character of the Village. 1.1.1 Palicv: Development and improvement projects approved in the Village shall be consistent with the goals, objectives, policies and design considerations as outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. 1.2.1 Policv: Additional development may be allowed as identified by the action plan as is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan.

Goal #6 To insure the continued improvement of the vital operational elements of the Village. 6.1 Objective: Provide service and delivery facilities for existing and new development. Vail Villaae Master Plan and Building Hei h~ t Plan Generally speaking, it is the goal of the Building Height Plan to maintain the concentration of low-scale buildings in the Core area, while positioning larger buildings along the northern periphery. According to the Conceptual Building Height Plan contained within the Vail Village Master Plan, the Austria Haus is located within an area proposed to have building heights of a maximum range of three to four stories. A building story is defined as 9' of height, not including the roof. 17 Vail Village Master Plan Action Plan According to the Action Plan, the Austria Haus property is an area intended for residential/lodging infill along the south side of the properry and commercial infill along the north side of the property. According to the Vail Village Master Plan, the Austria Haus property is located within mixed-use sub-area #1-8, Sonnenalp (Austria Haus)/Slifer Square: ""Commercial infill along East Meadow Drive to provide a stronger edge to street , and commercial activity generators to reinforce the pedestrian loop throughout the Village. Focus of infill is to provide improvements to pedestrian circulation with separated walkway including buffer, along East Meadow Drive. Accommodating on-site parking and maintaining the bus route along East Meadow Drive are two significant constraints that must be addressed. One additional floor of residential/lodging may also be accommodated on this site. Specific emphasis should be placed on the following Vail Village Master Plan objectives: 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1." Vail Village Design Considerafions The Town of Vail adopted the Vail Village Design Considerations in 1980. The Design Considerations were revised in 1993. The Design Considerations are considered an integral part of the Vail Village Urban Design Plan. The Design Considerations are intended to: ~ guide growth and change in ways that will enhance and preserve the essential ~ qualities of the Village; and D serve as design guidelines instead of rigid rules of development; and ~ help influence the form and design of buildings. The Vail Village Design Considerations are divided into two categories (urban design considerations and architectural/landscape considerations): 1. URBAN DESBGN CONSIDERATlANS These considerations relate to general, large-scale land use planning issues, as well as form considerations which affect more than one property or even whole areas. These considerations are primarily the purview of the Planning and Environmental Commission. A. PEDESTRIANIZATION A major objective for Vail Village is to encourage pedestrian circulation through an interconnected network of safe, pleasant pedestrian ways. Many of the improvements recognized in the Urban Design Guide Plans, and accompanying Design Considerations, are to reinforce and expand the quality of pedestrian walkways throughout the Village. Since vehicular traffic cannot be removed from certain streets (bus routes, delivery access), a totally care-free pedestrian system is not achievable throughout the entire Village. Therefore, several levels of pedestrianization have been identified. The level of pedestrianization most appropriate for the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment is the joint vehicle/pedestrian use of the roadway. , ti 18 • Staff Response: The applicant has met on numerous occasions with the Town staff to discuss pedestrian improvements. The staff has concluded that the improvements recommended for East Meadow Drive in the 1991 Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan should be implemented. This includes a reduction in street width from 30 feet to 26 feet (14 foot bus lane and 12 foot attached, paver pedesirian walk). The applicant is further proposing to construct a 12 - 20 foot wide, heated pedestrian walkway immediately adjacent to the north side of the building. Staff believes that these improvements reinforce and significantly improve the pedestrian walkways throughout the Village by providing places for people to walk without forcing them into the bus lane. The creative use of concrete unit pavers emphasizes the pedestrian character and offers a clear and attractive pedestrian route. The retail space on the main level of the Austria Haus closes the comrnercial loop from Slifer Square to Village Center. B. VEHICLE PENETRATION To maximize to the extent possible, all non-resident traffic should be routed along the Frontage Road to Vail Village/Lionshead Parking Structures. In conjunction with pedestrianization objectives, major emphasis is focused upon reducing auto penetration into the center of the Village. Vail Road and Vail Valley Drive will continue to serve as major routes for service and resident access to the Village. Road constrictions, traffic circles, signage, and other measures are indicated in the Guide Plans to visually and physically discourage all but essential vehicle penetration upon the Frontage Road. Alternative access points and private parking relocation, where feasible, should be considered to further reduce traffic conflicts in the Village. • Staff Response: The redevelopment of the Austria Haus will increase vehicular traffic on Village Center Road. According to the Environmental Impact Assessment-Austria Haus Redevelopment, prepared by Design Workshop, Inc.: ' "A slight increase automobile traffic is expected because of the projected increase in the number of visitors generated annually by the project. What is not known, however, is how many of these additional guests will arrive by car; it is likely the largest number of guests will continue to arrive in the winter and that most will arrive by van from the airport. Van deliveries will increase somewhat. Those guests that arrive in their own car are likely to leave the car in the garage after they arrive, as the center village location of the project eliminates the need for a car. If there is a potential for congestion anywhere, it is most likely to be in the small drop-off parking area in front of the building, where check-ins, deliveries and lost drivers may converge. To some extent, this can be mitigated by improved roadway directional signs, speedy guest valet service, careful management of deliveries and incentives to encourage guests to leave their cars at home." Along with the increase in automobile traffic, there will be an increase in delivery vehicle traffic due to an increase in the commercial square footage on the property. The applicants anticipate that deliveries to the retail shops will likely arrive via UPS or similar types of couriers. Deliveries are to be accommodated in the drop-off area in the front of the building. , i9 Staff agrees with Design Workshop's assessment of the potential traffic impacts. While there will likely be an increase in traffic on Village Center Road, there will not be an increase in traffic on the pedestrian portion of East Meadow Drive. The traffic control gate located at the intersection of Village Center Road and East Meadow Drive will continue to prohibit all vehicle traffic except Town of Vail buses. Staff feels the applicant has addressed traffic issues to the extent possible. C. STREETSCAPE FRAMEWORK To improve the quality of the walking experience and give continuity to the pedestrian ways, as a continuous system, two general types of improvements adjacent to the walkways are considered: 1. Open space and landscaping, berms, grass, flowers and tree planting as a soft, colorful framework linkage along pedestrian routes; and plazas and park greenspaces as open nodes and focal points along those routes. 2. Infill commercial storefronts, expansion of existing buildings, or new infill development to create new commercial activity generators to give streetlife and visual interest, as attractions at key locations along pedestrian routes. It is not intended to enclose all Village streets with buildings as in the core areas. fVor is it desirable to leave pedestrian streets in the open in somewhat undefined condition evident in many other areas of Vail. Rather, it is desired to have a variety of open and enclosed spaces, both built and landscaped, which create a strong framework for pedestrian walks, as well as visual interest and activity. . 0 Staff Res op nse: The Austria Haus redevelopment improves the streetscape framework through the creation of new commercial activity and increases visual interest along East Meadow Drive. As stated previously, staff believes the proposed redevelopment closes the critical commercial loop in the Village and provides new street life where very little currently exists. ' D. STREET ENCLOSURE While building facade heights should not be uniform from building to building, they should provide a"comfortable" enclosure for the street. Pedestrian streets are outdoor rooms, whose walls are formed by the buildings. The shape and feel of these "rooms" are created by the variety of heights and massing (3- dimensional variations), which give much of the visual interest and pedestrian scale unique to Vail. Very general rules, about the perception of exterior spaces have been developed by designers, based on the characteristics of human vision. They suggest that: "an external enclosure is most comfortable when its walls are approximately 1/2 as high as the width of the space enclosed; if the ratio falls to 1/4 or less, the space seems unenclosed; and if the height is greater than the width it comes to resemble a canyon". 2' 0 In actual application, facades are seldom uniform in height on both sides of the street, nor is this desired. Thus, some latitude is appropriate in the application of this 1/2 to 1 ratio. Using the average facade height on both sides wil4 generally still be a guide to the comfortableness of the enclosure being created. In some instances, the "canyon" effect is acceptable and even desirable. For example, as a short connecting linkage between larger spaces, to give variety to the walking experience. For sun/shade reasons it is often advantageous to orient any longer segments in a north/south direction. Long canyon streets in an easdwest direction should generally be discouraged. When exceptions to the general height criteria occur, special consideration should be given to create a well-defined ground floor pedestrian emphasis to overcome the "canyon" effect. Canopies, awnings, arcades and building extensions can all create a pedestrian focus and divert attention from the upper building heights and "canyon" effect. ~ Staff Response: East Meadow Drive, and the pedestrian walkway adjacent to the Austria Haus, averages approximately 50 feet in width. The Austria Haus (eaveline) adjacent to East Meadow Drive and the pedestrian walkway is approximately 30 feet in height. Given that East Meadow Drive is enclosed only on one side, and the arcade and landscaping creates an emphasis on the ground level of the building, staff believes the proposed Austria Haus creates a"comfortable" enclosure of the street and does not create a"canyon" effect. E. STREET EDGE ' Buildings in the Village core should form a strong but irregular edge to the street. Unlike many American towns, there are no standard setback requirements for buildings in Vail Village. Consistent with the desire for intimate pedestrian scale, placement of portions of a building at or near the property line is allowed and encouraged to give strong definition to the pedestrian streets. ' This is not to imply continuous building frontage along the property line. A strong street edge is important for continuity, bLit perfectly aligned facades over too long a distance tends to be monotonous. With only a few exceptions in the Village, slightly irregular facade lines, building jogs, and landscaped areas, give the life to the street and visual interest for pedestrian travel. Where buildings jog to create activity packets, other elements can be used to continue the street edge: low planter walls, tree planting, raised sidewalks, texture changes in ground surface, arcades, raised decks. Plazas, patios, and green areas are important focal points for gathering, resting, orienting and should be distributed throughout the Village with due consideration to spacing, sun access, opportunities for views and pedestrian activity. , z1 0 Staff Res o~nse: Initially, the Austria Haus design lacked the irregular street edge of other properties in Vail Village. The applicant, at the request of the staff and PEC, has attempted to iniroduce a more irregular street edge through the horizontal stepping of the building on the east and west ends. The east end of the building has been stepped back 10 feet from the property line and the northeast corner has been cutback an additional 3-1/2 feet, opening this end of building up to Slifer Square. The front entry tower was moved to the west end of the building and the west-end of the building was stepped towards the street. While it would . be the staff's desire to see more stepping in the building, staff recognizes the constraints in doing so. Staff believes the irregular configuration of the landscape planters in front of the building helps to lessen the rather long, linear and uninterrupted street edge along the center portion of the Austria Haus. F. BUILDING HEIGHT Vail Village is perceived as a mix of two and three story facades, although there are also four and five story buildings. The mix of building heights gives variety to the street, which is desirable. The height criteria are intended to encourage height in massing variety and to discourage uniform building heights along the street. 0 Staff Res onse: As discussed previously, the Austria Haus exceeds the allowable building height prescribed for the Public Accommodation Zone District. However, staff does not feel that the proposed height of the Austria Haus is excessive, given the location of the building in relation to the Village and the height of the buildings on the adjoining properties. The ; Mountain Haus (to the east) has an existing roof ridge of 74' above grade. The approximate height of the Village Center Condominiums (to the west) is as follows: Building A(closest to the Austria Haus = 45'; Building B= 78'; and Building C= 56'. The Austria Haus roof steps down on both ends of the building, reducing the creation of a "canyon" along the west property line and resulting in a building that is less obtrusive (on Slifer Square) on the east end. The applicant has submitted a scale model of the new structure in its Village Core context and this model will be available for use by the PEC during the final hearing. G. VIEWS AND FOCAL POINTS Vail's mountain/valley setting is a fundamental part of its identity. Views of the mountains, ski slopes, creeks and other natural features are reminders to our visitors of the mountain environment and, by repeated visibility, are orientation reference points. Certain building features also provide important orientation references and visual focal points. The most significant view corridors in the Village have been adopted as part of Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipal Code. The view corridors adopted should not be considered exhausted. When evaluating a development proposal, priority should be given to an analysis of the impacted project on public views. Views that should be preserved originate from either major pedestrian areas or public spaces, and include views of the ski mountain, the Gore Range, the Clock Tower, the Rucksack Tower and other important man-made and natural elements that contribute to the sense of place associated with Vail. These Views, which have been adopted by ordinance, were chosen due to their significance, not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but also as orientation reference points for pedestrians. Development in Vail Village shall not encroach into any adopted view corridor, unless approved under Chapter 18.73. Adopted corridors are } 2' 2 listed in Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipal Code. Whether affecting adopted view corridors or not, the impact of proposed development on views from public ways and public spaces must be identified and considered where appropriate. • Staff Response: Although not directly impacting one of the five adopted view corridors, as listed in Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipal Code, the height of the building will have impacts from the Vail Transportation Center (transit terminal) and will also impact views from the west and central stairs. Public views of the Village (roofline of structures) will be blocked from these areas, however, views of Vail Mountain will remain. Overall, staff feels that the benefits providing a comfortable enclosure to the street, and completing the pedestrian and retail connection from Crossroads to the Covered Bridge is positive. Staff feels that the completion of this pedestrian connection is in compliance with Goal #3 of the Vail Village Master Plan: "To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village." H. SERVICE AND DELIVERY Any building expansion should preserve the functions of existing service alleys. The few service alfeys that exist in the Village are extremely important to minimizing vehicle congestion on pedestrian ways. The use of, and vehicular access to, those alleys should not be eliminated except where functional alternatives are not provided. In all new and remodeled construction, delivery which avoids or reduces impacts on pedestrian ways should be explored; and adopted whenever practical, for immediate or future use. Rear access, basement and below ground delivery corridors reduce congestion. Weather protection increases delivery efficiency substantially. Below grade delivery corridors are found in a few buildings in Vail Village (SitzmarWGore Creek Plaza, Village Center, Vail Village Inn). Consideration should be given to extending these corridors, where feasible, and the creation of new ones. As buildings are constructed or remodeled, the opportunity may exist to develop segments of a future system. • Staff Response: Through the course of the review of the Austria Haus redevelopment proposal, several loading and delivery options were explored. The applicant had originally proposed to provide one loading and delivery berth in the underground parking structure. However, concerns were expressed by the Village Center Condominium owners that they wauld be negatively impacted by the noise generated from the delivery vehicles, since the access to the underground location was immediately adjacent to their units. The applicant had also explored the possibility of gaining underground access to their structure through the Village Center garage. It was determined that delivery vehicles could not enter through Village Center due to height limitations in the garage. As mentioned previously, the applicant is proposing to provide for toading/delivery in the front entry drop-off area. The applicant anticipates that deliveries to the retail/commercial shops will arrive via UPS or similar types of courier. Staff continues to believe that this . 23 location may negatively impact the pedestrian use of this area of East Meadow Drive and suggests the applicant continue to explore placing the loading and delivery berth in the underground structure, as originally contemplated. 1. SUN / SHADE Due to Vail's alpine climate, sun is an important comfort factor, especially in winter, fall and spring. Shade areas have ambient temperatures substantially below those of adjacent direct sunlight areas. On all but the warmest of summer days, shade can easily t lower temperatures below comfortable levels and thereby, negatively impact use of those areas. All new or expanded buildings should not substantially increase the spring and fall. shadow line (March 21 - September 23) on adjacent properties or the public right-of-way. In all building construction, shade shall be considered in massing and overall height consideration. Notwithstanding, sun/shade considerations are not intended to restrict building height allowances, but rather to influence the massing of buildings. Limited height exceptions may be granted to meet this criteria. 0 Staff Res.ponse: Although the proposed height of the building will diminish the amount of sun, and likewise increase shading, along East Meadow Drive (north side of the project), the provision of heated public walkways effectively mitigates this consideration, thus providing ice-free and snow-free sidewalks. Additionally, the "opening up" of Slifer Square will insure adequate light, air and open space to a public gathering space. Overall, staff believes the applicanYs proposal complies with the above-described considerations. 2. ARCHITECTURE/LANDSCAPE CONSIDERAT90NS R00FS Where visible, roofs are often one of the most dominant architectural elements in any built environment. In ihe Village, roof form, color and texture are visibly dominant, and generally consistent, which tends to unify the building diversity to a great degree. The current expression, and objective, for roofs in the Village is to form a consistently unifying backdrop for the architecture and pedestrian streetscape, and to avoid roofs which tend to stand out individually or distract visually from the overall character. Roof Forms Roofs within the Village are typically gable in form and of moderate-to-low pitch. Shed roofs are frequently used for small additions to larger buildings. Free-standing shed roofs, butterfly roofs and flat roofs, can be found in the Village, but they are generally considered to be out of character and inappropriate. Hip roofs likewise, are rare and generally inconsistent with the character of the Core Area. Towers are exceptions, in both form and pitch, to the general criteria, but do have an established local vernacular-style which should be respected. 24 , , • Staff Res o~ nse The roof form of the Austria Haus has been revised several times from what was originally proposed. The original roof design of the Austria Haus had a significant amount of flat roof area. The majority of flat roof has now been replaced with a sloping roof leading to a more traditional ridge. Three areas of flat roof, compromising a total of approximately 444 square feet, remain on the building. These flat roof portions break up the ridge line and provide locations for screened mechanical equipment (fans, vents, etc). The addition of the sloping roof leading to a ridge increased the overall building height by approximately three feet, since the roof pitch of 6/12 was not changed. The ends of the ridge have been "clipped", resulting in a hip roof form. While a hip roof is generally considered inconsistent with the character of the Village, the applicant believes this roof form helps to reduce the mass of the building. The applicant had at one time provided gable ends to both the east and west ends of the building, but has since "clipped" the gable ends and lowered the roof eaveline at the request of the Village Center Condominium owners. Staff would like to see the ridge carried to the ends of the roof creating a gable end, rather than a hip. However, staff recognizes that this roof form does tend to increase the perceived height of the building, especially on the east and west ends. Staff will raise this issue with the Design Review Board. Pi ch Roof slopes in the Village typically range from 3/12 to 6/12, with slightly steeper pitches in limited applications. Again, for visual consistency this general 3/12-6/12 range should be preserved. • Staff Response The pitch of the proposed Austria Haus roof is 6/12 and is in compliance with this guideline. Overhangs Generous roof overhangs are also an established architectural feature in the Village - a traditional expression of shelter in alpine environments. Roof overhangs typically range from 3 to 6 feet on all edges. Specific design consideration should be given to protection of pedestrian ways adjacent to buildings. Snow slides and runoff hazards can be reduced by roof orientation, gutters, arcades, etc. Overhang details are treated with varying degrees of ornamentation. Structural elements such as roof beams are expressed beneath the overhangs, simply or decoratively carved. The roof fascia is thick and wide, giving a substantial edge to the roof. • Staff Resaonse Staff suggests that the applicant increase the roof overhangs on the building. Currently, the overhangs vary from two feet to three feet. Staff would like to see all the roof overhangs at least three feet. Again, staff will review this consideration with the Design Review Board. 25 Compositions The intricate roofscape of the Village as a whole is the result of many individual simple roof configurations. For any single building a varied, but simple composition of roof planes is preferred to either a single or a complex arrangement of many roofs. As individual roofs become more complex, the roof attracts visual attention away from the streetscape and the total roofscape tends toward "busyness" rather than a backdrop composition. 0 Staff Response The roof form on the Austria Haus would be considered a simple composition of roof planes. Staff believes the roof composition proposed by the applicant is consistent with the intent of this architectural consideration. Stepped Roofs As buildings are stepped to reflect existing grade changes, resulting roof steps should be made where the height change will be visually significant. Variations which are too subtle appear to be more stylistic than functional, and out of character with the more straight-forward roof design typical in the Village. 0 Staff Response The Austria Haus site is relatively flat (by Vail standards). While the building does not need to step to follow the topography, vertical and horizontal steps have been incorporated into the roof design. The vertical and horizontal steps provide a reduction in the overall mass of the building and add to the architectural and visual interest of the ~ building. Materials Wood shakes, wood shingles, and built-up tar and gravel are almost exclusively used as roof materials in the Village. For visual consistency, any other materials should have the appearance of the above. 0 Staff Response Most recently, wood shakes and wood shingles are being discouraged for use as a roofing material due to fire safety concerns. At the recommendation of the Town of Vail Fire Department, the staff has been encouraging developers to use gravel, asphalt, tile, metal and other more fire-resistant roofing materials on new buildings. The applicant is proposing to use reddish tiles on the roof of the Austria Haus. The tiles will be similar in appearance to those used on the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus. The staff believes this is an appropriate roof material to use on this project. Construction Common roof problems and design considerations in this climate include: - snowslides onto pedestrian walks - gutters freezing - roof dams and water infiltration - heavy snow loads 26 Careful attention to these functional details is recommended, as well as familiarity with the local building code, proven construction details, and Town ordinances. For built-up roofs, pitches of 4/12 or steeper do not hold gravel well. For shingle roofs, pitches of 4/12 or shallower often result in ice dams and backflow leakage under the shingles. Cold-roof construction is strongly preferred, unless warm-roof benefits for a specific application can be demonstrated. Cold-roofs are double-roofs which insulate and prevent snow melt from internal building heat. By retaining snow on the roof, many of the problems listed can be reduced. Pe'riodic snow removal will be required and should be anticipated in the design. Roof gutters tend to ice-in completely and become ineffective in the Vail climate, especially in shaded north-side locations. Heating the interior circumference with heat-tape elements or other devices is generally necessary to assure adequate run-off control in colder months. • Staff Res o~ nse: The applicant is proposing a cold-roof construction atop the Austria Haus. Through the review of a building permit, staff will ensure the roof construction complies with the standards prescribed for the Vail climate. FACADES M ri I Stucco, brick, wood (and glass) are the primary building materials found in the Village. While not wishing to restrict design freedom, existing conditions show that within this small range of materials much variation and individuality are possible while preserving a basic harmony. Too many diverse materials weaken the continuity and repetition which unifies the streetscape. Of the above materials, stucco is the most consistently used material. Most of the buildings in the Village exhibit some stucco, and there are virtually no areas where stucco is entirely absent. It is intended to preserve the dominance of stucco by its use in portions, at least, of all new facades, and by assuring that other materials are not used to the exclusion of stucco in any sub- area within the Village. ~ Staff Response The exterior materials proposed by the applicant are a combination of stone, stucco and wood. No one material is proposed to dominate the exterior of the Austria Haus. Staff believes the applicant has complied with this particular architectural consideration. Color There is greater latitude in the use of color in the Village, but still a discernible consistency within a general range of colors. For wood surfaces, trim or siding, darker color tones are preferred - browns, greys, blue-greys, dark olive, slate-greens, etc. Stucco colors are generally light - white, beige, pale-gold, or other light pastels. Other light colors could be appropriate, as considered on a case-by-case basis. Bright colors (red, orange, blues, maroon, etc.) should be avoided for major wall planes, but can be used effectively (with restraint) for decorative trim, wall graphics, and other accent elements. 27 Generally, to avoid both "busyness," and weak visual interest, the variety of major wall colors should not exceed four, nor be less than two. A color/material change between the ground floor and upper floors is a common and effective reinforcement of the pedestrian scale of the street. 0 Staff Res o~ nse The applicant has proposed an exterior building color that is compatible with the color of the existing buildings in the vicinity of the Austria Haus. Staff would like to point out that the applicant is required to obtain Design Review Board (DRB) approval prior to construction and that any concerns of the PEC on this topic will be brought to the attention of the DRB. TransparencX Pedestrian scale is created in many ways, but a major factor is the openness, attractiveness, and generally public character of the ground floor facade of adjacent buildings. Transparent store fronts are "people attractors," opaque or solid walls are more private, and imply "do not approach." On pedestrian-oriented streets such as in the Village, ground floor commercial facades are proportionately more transparent than upper floors. Upper floors are typically more residential, private and thus less open. As a measure of transparency, the most characteristic and successful ground floor facades range from 55% to 70% of the total length of the commercial facade. Upper floors are often the converse, 30%-45% transparent. Examples of transparency (lineal feet of glass to lineal feet of facade) on ground level. - Covered Bridge Building 58% - Pepi's Sports 71 % - Gasthof Gramshammer 48% - The Lodge 66% ' - Golden Peak House 62% - Casino Building 30% - Gorsuch Building 51% 0 Staff Response A measure of transparency of the Austria Haus (north and east elevations) indicates that 46% (120 lineal feet of glass exists along the 263 lineal feet of building) of the ground floor facade is transparent. Staff recommends that a minimum of 25 lineal feet of additional glass (55%) be added to the ground floor. This would make the Austria Haus generally consistent writh the transparency of other buildings in the Village. Windows In addition to the general degree of transparency, window details are an important source of pedestrian scale-giving elements. The size and shape of windows are often a response to the function of the adjacent street. For close-up, casual, pedestrian viewing windows are typically sized to human dimensions and characteristics of human vision. (Large glass-wall store-fronts 28 suggest uninterrupted viewing, as from a moving car. The sense of intimate pedestrian scale is diminished). Ground floor display windows are typically raised slightly 18 inches ± and do not - extend much over 8 feet above the walkway level. Ground floors, which are noticeably above or below grade, are exceptions. The articulation of the window itself is still another element in giving pedestrian scale (human- related dimensions). Glass areas are usually subdivided to express individual window elements - and are further subdivided by mullions into small panes - which is responsible for much of the ofd-world charm of the Village. Similarly, windows are most often clustered in banks, juxtaposed with plain wall surfaces to give a pleasing rhythm. Horizontal repetition of single window elements,; especially over long distances, should be avoided. Large single pane windows occur in the Village, and provide some contrast, as long as they are generally consistent in form with other windows. Long continuous glass is out of character. Bay, bow and box windows are common window details, which further variety and massing to facades - and are encouraged. Reflective glass, plastic panes, and aluminum or other metal frames are not consistent in the Village and should be avoided. Metal-clad or plastic-clad wood frames, having the appearance of painted wood have been used successfully and are acceptable. ~ Staff Ftesponse The Austria Haus proposal is in compliance with the above-described design consideration. Staff believes the use of dormers with windows, bay windows and windows with mullions adds to the architectural charm and visual integrity of the Austria Haus. Staff recommends that the use of mullions in the windows be a condition of approval. Doors Like windows, doors are important to character and scale-giving architectural elements. They should also be somewhat transparent (on retail commercial facades) and consistent in detailing with windows and other facade elements. Doors with glass contribute to overall facade transparency. Due to the visibility of people and merchandise inside, windowed doors are somewhat more effective in drawing people inside to retail commercial facades. Although great variations exist, 25-30% ± transparency is felt to be a minimum transparency objective. Private residences, lodges, restaurants, and other non-retail establishments have different visibility and character needs, and doors should be designed accordingly. Sidelight windows are also a means of introducing door-transparency as a complement or substitute for door windows. Articulated doors have the decorative quality desired for Vail. Flush doors, light aluminum frames, plastic applique elements all are considered inappropriate. As an expression of entry, and sheltered welcome, protected entry-ways are encouraged. Doorways may be recessed, extended, or covered. • Staff Response Staff believes the applicanYs proposal complies with the above-described criteria. 29 Tri m Prominent wood trim is also a unifying feature in the Village. Particularly at ground floor levels, doors and windows have strong, contrasting framing elements, which tie the various elements together in one composition. Windows and doors are treated as strong visual features. Glass- wall detailing for either is typically avoided. 0 Staff Res op nse: ~ Staff believes the applicanYs proposal complies with the above-described criteria. DECECS AND PATIOS Dining decks and patios, when properly designed and sited, bring people to the streets, opportunities to look and be looked at, and generally contribute to the liveliness of a busy street- making a richer pedestrian experience than if those streets were empty. A review of successful decks/patios in Vail reveals several common characteristics: - direct sunlight from 11:00 - 3:00 increases use by many days/year and protects from wind. - elevated to give views in the pedestrian walk (and not the reverse). - physical separation from pedestrian walk. - overhang gives pedestrian scale/shelter. Decks and patios should be sited and designed with due consideration to: - sun - wind - views - pedestrian activity 0 Staff Response: The majority of the decks and patios on the Austria Haus are located on the south side of the building, facing Gore Creek. These decks and patios are for the use of the guests of the Austria Haus and not the general public. Staff does believe, however, that the arcade designed along the north side of the building will provide shelter from the elements for pedestrians using the heated walkway. BALC0N8ES Balconies occur on almost all buildings in the Village which have at least a second level facade wall. As strong repetitive features they: - give scale to buildings. - give life to the street (when used). - add variety to building forms. - provide shelter to pathways below. 30 ~ • Staff Response The majority of the balconies on the Austria Haus are located on the south side of the building. Several french balconies have been incorporated into the design of the north side of the building on the upper floors. Staff would like to discuss the design and repetition of the balconies on the south elevation with the PEC and the applicant. Staff would like to see less repetition of the balconies, particularly on the south elevation. Color ' They contrast in color (dark) with the building, typically matching the trim colors. ~ Staff Response Like the exterior color of the building, the DRB will be reviewing this aspect of the proposal. Size They extend far enough from the building to cast a prominent shadow pattern. Balconies in Vail are functional as will as decorative. As such, they should be of useable size and located to encourage use. Balconies less than six feet deep are seldom used, nor are those always in shade, not oriented to views or street life. • Staff Response Staff believes this criteria relates to staff's concerns regarding balconies mentioned above. Mass They are commonly massive, yet semi-transparent, distinctive from the building, yet allowing the building to be somewhat visible behind. Solid balconies are found occasionally, and tend to be too dominant obscuring the building architecture. Light balconies lack the visual impact which ties the Village together. • Staff Res op nse The balconies on the Austria Haus are proposed to be semi-transparent in appearance. M ri I Wood balconies are by far the most common. Vertical structural members are the most dominant visually, often decoratively sculpted. Decorative wrought iron balconies are also consistent visually where the vertical members are close enough to create semi-transparency. Pipe rails, and plastic, canvas or glass panels should be avoided. 31 , 0 Staff Response The material to be used in the construction of the balconies on the Austria Haus is wood, with vertical structural members. A detail of the railing will be reviewed by the DRB. ACCENT ELEMENTS The life, and festive quality of the Village is given by judicious use of accent elements which give color, movement and contrast to the Village. Colorful accent elements consistent with existing character are encouraged, such as: Awnings and canopies - canvas, bright color or stripes of two colors. Flags, banners - hanging from buildings, poles, and even across streets for special occasions. Umbrellas - over tables on outdoor patios. Annual color flowers - in beds or in planters. Accent lighting- buildings, plazas, windows, trees (even Christmas lights all winter). Painted wall graphics - coats of arms, symbols, accent compositions, etc. Fountains - sculptural, with both winter and summer character. 0 Staff Response: Accent lighting on the building, annual flowers in containers and in the planting beds, potted trees decorated with Christmas lights and irrigated flower boxes are proposed to provide colorful accent elements on the Austria Haus. An additional accent symbol (clock, crest, etc.) is proposed for the tower at the front entry. The final design has yet,to be determined. LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS Landscape considerations include, but go beyond, the placement of appropriate plant materials. - plant materials , - paving - retaining walls - street furniture (benches, kiosks, trash, etc.) - lighting - signage Plant Materials Opportunities for planting are not extensive in the Village, which places a premium on the plant selection and design of the sites that do exist. Framework planting of trees and shrubs should include both deciduous and evergreen species for year round continuity and interest. iVative plants are somewhat limited in variety, but are clearly best able to withstand the harsh winter climate, and to tie the Village visually with its mountain setting. 3,2 Trees Shrubs Narrow-leaf cottonwood Willow Balsam poptar pogwood Aspen Serviceberry Lodgepole pine Alpine currant Colorado spruce Chokecherry Subalpine fir Mugho pine Potentilla ' Buffaloberry • Staff Response A landscape plan has been submitted by the applicant. The landscape plan has been developed with the assistance of Town staff, since a majority of the landscape improvements are proposed on Town property. The proposed landscape design takes into consideration factors such as the location of the plantings (sun/shade), maintenance, climate, etc. Staff believes the landscape design for the Austria Haus complies with the above-described criteria. P vin The freeze/thaw cycle at this altitude virtually eliminates common site-cast concrete as a paving surface (concrete spall). High-strength concrete may work in selected conditions. Asphalt, brick (on concrete or on sand), and concrete block appear to be best suited to the area. In general, paving treatments should be coordinated with that of the adjacent public right-of-way. The Town uses the following materials for all new construction: - asphalt: general use pedestrian streets - brick on concrete: feature areas (plazas, intersections, fountains, etc.) • Staff Response The paving material used in the public areas around the Austria Haus will be the "Vail", concrete unit paver, laid in the "Vail-pattern" (herringbone). These surfaces will be heated and will include the access ramp to the parking structure, the front entry drop-off area and the pedestrian walkway along the store fronts. The applicant has worked with the Town staff in developing the design of improvements in the public right-of-way. Retaining Walls Retaining walls, to raise planting areas, often protects the landscape from pedestrians and snowplows, and should provide seating opportunities: Two types of material are already well established in the Village and should be utilized for continuity: - split-face moss rock veneer - Village Core pedestrian streets (typical). - rounded cobble hidden mortar - in open space areas if above type not already established nearby. , ~ 33 0 Staff Response No landscape retaining walis are proposed in the construction of the Austria Haus. The new landscape retaining walls proposed in Slifer Square will match the existing walls in terms of both type of materials, and application. Li h in Light standards should be coordinated with those used by the Town in the public right-of-way. y 0 Staff Response As part of the streetscape improvements along East Meadow Drive, the applicant will be installing six new Village light fixtures. The number and locations of the six new lights was determined through consultation with Town staff. Signaqe Refer to Town of Vail Signage Ordinance ~ Staff Res op nse: The staff has requested that the applicant prepare a comprehensive sign program for the Austria Haus. The comprehensive sign program will be reviewed by the DRB. SERVVCE Trash handling is extremely sensitive in a pedestrian environment. Trash collection is primarily made in off-peak hours. It is the building owners responsibility to assure that existing trash storage problems are corrected and future ones avoided. Trash, especially from food service establishments, must be carefully considered; including the following: - quantities generated ' - pick-up frequency/access - container sizes - enclosure location/design - visual odor impacts Garbage collection boxes or dumpsters must be readily accessible for collection at all times yet fully screened from public view - pedestrians, as well as upper level windows in the vicinity. Materials Exterior materials for garbage enclosures should be consistent with that of adjacent buildings. 34 , ; Construction Durability of the structure and operability of doors in all weather are prime concerns. Metal frames and posts behind the preferred exterior materials should be considered to withstand the inevitable abuse these structures suffer. • Staff Res op nse: The applicant has proposed to incorporate a trash dumpster into the design of the underground parking structure. The trash dumpster will be completely enclosed and accessible from inside the parking structure. Without a restaurant, the building is not expected to generate an unusual amount of trash. The driveway is designed to accommodate trash trucks. Staff believes the applicant's proposal complies the above- described criteria. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. There are no natural and/or geologic hazards, including the Gore Creek floodplain, that effect the Austria Haus property. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The applicant has revised the site plan in response to comments received from the , Planning and Environmental Commission and staff during previous worksession meetings. Most importantly, the applicant has shifted the building on the site to further buffer the surrounding properties. The applicant has designed the building to respect the 50' Gore Creek Stream setback along the south side of the property and is also maintaining the required 20' setback along the west property line. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. ' The Austria Haus redevelopment will have major positive impacts on both off-site and on- site vehicle and pedestrian traffic systems surrounding the property. Staff believes that pedestrian circulation will be substantially improved as result of the redevelopment. Improvements include a new 14-foot wide bus lane and a dedicated, 12-foot wide pedestrian lane along East Meadow Drive, as well as an improved pedestrian streetscape along the north side of the building adjacent to the retail shops. The pedestrian streetscape will be heated, thus providing ice-free and snow-free sidewalks. All new pedestrian improvements propose the use of concrete unit pavers and will connect into the existing improvements to the east (Slifer Square), to the west (Village Center) and to the Vail Transportation Center to the north. Vehicular circulation will also be effected by the redevelopment. The current parking situation will be improved by removing the surface parking lot and replacing it with an underground parking structure and a front entry drop-off area. Access to the parking structure shall be via a heated ramp located at the west end of the project. , 35 ' H. Functional anc9 aestheYic landscaping and open space in order to optimize anc0 preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. The proposed landscape plan will have important beneficial impacts on the quality of the public spaces in the vicinity of the Austria Haus, due to the improvements to East Meadow Drive, Slifer Square and the Gore Creek streambank. The streetscape improvements recommended in the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan will be implemented. The improvements will enhance the pedestrian experience t along East Meadow Drive through the construction of a wider and more attractive heated walkway adjacent to the retail shops. The implementation of the streetscape improvements will separate pedestrians from bus traffic by delineating the pedestrian areas and bus lanes through the use of different paving surfaces. The applicant has designed improvements to the western por.tion of Slifer Square. The improvements have been developed with the help of Town staff. The applicanYs design is sensitive to the numerous mature trees existing in Slifer Square. Only those trees which impact pedestrian circulation, effect sun exposure to the seating areas, and would otherwise be damaged due to construction, are being removed. The removal of the trees will be mitigated by the planting of additional trees elsewhere in Slifer Square. Improvements are proposed for the Gore Creek streambank adjacent to the Austria Haus. The improvements are intended to improve the visual appearance of the streambank and stabilize the soil by reducing the grade of the slope and revegetating the bare soils. The applicant will also be implementing an erosion and sedimentation control plan to prevent run-off from the construction site from entering Gore Creek. 1. Phasing plan or subclivision plan tha4 wrill mainfiain aworkable, functional and efficient relationship fhroughou4 the development of the special development distric4. Phasing of development is not proposed. The applicant is required to submit a construction phasing and staging plan to the Town prior to receiving a building permit. The plan will be used to ensure an efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses during the development of the Austria Haus. At this time, the applicant is anticipating a minor subdivision to amend the location of the north property line. The applicant is proposing to trade land with the Town in order to gain an additional one - two feet along ihe northerly property line. In exchange for this land, the applicant is proposing to trade a triangular piece of property adjacent to Slifer Square to the Town. Any proposal to trade land with the Town must be reviewed and approved by the Council. 36 ~ V. CRITERIA AND FIPIDIPIGS FAR A CONDITIONAL USE PERNiIT Upon review of Section 18.60, the Communiry Development Department recommends approval of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously discussed in Section IV of this memorandum. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously discussed in Section IV of this memorandum. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and ; parking areas. Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously discussed in Section IV of this memorandum. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. ' Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously discussed in Section IV of this memorandum. 5. Prior to the approval of a conditional use permit for a time-share estate, fractional fee, fractional fee club, or time-share license proposal, the following shall be considered: a. If the proposal for a fractional fee club is a redevelopment of an existing facility, the fractional fee club shall maintain an equivalency of accommodation un6ts as presently existing. Equivalency shall be maintained either by an equal number of units or by square footage. If the proposal is a new developmerat, ut shall provide at least as much accommodation unit GRFA as fractional fee club unit GRFA. The Austria Haus proposal is a redevelopment of an existing facility. The Austria Haus shall be required to maintain an equivalency of the presently existing accommodation uni~s. The 37 applicant is proposing to meet the equivalency requirement by replacing an equal amount of accommodation unit square footage. According to as-builts prepared by the applicant, 10,100 square feet of accommodation unit square footage exists in the Austria Haus. Calculations of the proposed accommodation unit square footage indicates that the applicant needs to provide an additional 181 square feet of accommodation unit square footage. In order to meet this requirement, staff would recommend that the applicant convert the lock-off for Unit # 10 to an accommodation unit. This ' would increase the total number of accommodation units to 26 and , increase the equivalency square footage. b. Lock-off units and lock-off unit square footage shall not.be included in the calculation when determining the equivalency of existing accommodation units or equivalency of exis4ing square footage. Even though lock-offs cannot be counted towards meeting the equivalency requirement, the applicant has maintained 28 lock-off units in the Austria Haus. The staff and applicant feel these units will be rented as short-term accommodations and thus enhance the hotel bed base in Town. c. The ability of the proposed projecf 4o create and maintain a high level of occupancy. The Austria Haus proposal is intended to provide additional hotel and "hotel-type" accommodation units in the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to incorporate 22 member-owned club units (fractional fee club units with 28 lock-off units), with 25 accommodation (hotel) rooms. Although not included in the equivalency requirement, the fractional fee club units have been designed to accommodate lock-off units. Staff believes that lock- off units provide an additional community benefit of added "pillows". If a fractional fee club unit owner purchases an interest in a multiple bedroom unit, and does not desire to utilize all the bedrooms, they can then have the opportunity of returning the unused bedrooms (lock-offs) to a rental program. Staff feels that by providing lock-off units, and managing the availability of the lock-off units in a rental program when not in use, a fractional fee club project can significantly increase the availability of accommodation units in the Town of Vail. Through our research on the fractional fee issue, staff has identified some potential positive impacts of fractional fee units in the Town of Vail: A) Activity during the "shoulder seasons" tends to increase due to an increase in year-round occupancy; B) The attraction of revenue-generating tourists; 38 , C) The efficient utilization of resources. This is the "warm beds" concept; D) More pride of ownership with fractional fee club units than with accommodation units; E) Increased levels of occupancy; and F) Increased resort exposure due to the extensive number of interval owners. d. Employee housing may be required as part of any new or redevelopment fractional fee club project requesting density • over that allowed by zoning. The number of employee housing units will be consistent with employee impacts that are expected as a result of the project. The staff included the fractional fee club units into the calculation of the employee generation resulting from the establishment of the Special Development District. Based strictly on the number of club units, the development will generate a need for 8.8 "new" employees. When the multiplier of 0.30 is factored in, 3 of the 11 "new" employees which the developer must provide deed-restricted housing for, are generated by the fractional fee club. e. The applicant shall submit to the Town a list of all owners of existing un°sts within the project or building; in written statements from 100% of the owrners of existing units indicating their approval, without condition, of the proposed, fractional fee club. No written approval shall be valid if it is signed by the owner more than 60 days prior to the date of filing the application for a conditional use. The applicant, Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., is the sole owner of the property. No other written approval is required. VI. STAFF RECOiVIiwENDATIOPV The staff is recommending approval of the request for the establishment of Special Development District #35, Austria Haus, and the conditional use permit to allow for a fractional fee club. The staff believes that all the review criteria have been met, as identified in this memorandum. We would recommend that the approval carry with the it the following conditions: 1. That the applicant meet with the Town staff, prior to appearing before Town Council for the first reading of an ordinance establishing Special Development District #35, to formulate a construction phasing plan and to determine financial responsibilities for the off-site improvements to Slifer Square, East Meadow Drive and the revegetation of the Town-owned stream tract, south of the Austria Haus. Staff will then make a recommendation to Council regarding the construction phasing and financial responsibilities of the off-site improvements. f:\everyone\pec\memos\sonnensd.224 39 2. That the applicant prepare a deed restriction or covenant, subject to the Town Attorney's review and approval, thereby restricting the current and future owner(s) ability to locate a restaurant, or similar food service operation on the Austria Haus property. Said deed restriction or covenant shall be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office prior to the applicant submitting for a building permit. 3. That the applicant submit the following plans to the Department of Community Development, for review and approval, as a part of the building permit application for the Austria Haus: a. A Tree Preservation Plan; b. An Erosion Control and Sedimentation Plan; c. A Construction Staging and Phasing Plan; d. A Stormwater Management Plan; e. A Site Dewatering Plan; and f. A Traffic Control Plan. 4. That the applicant provide deed-restricted housing, which complies with the Town of Vail Employee Housing requirements (Chapter 18.57), for a minimum of 11 employees, and that said deed-restricted housing be made available for occupancy, and the deed restrictions recorded with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder, prior to requesting a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Austria Haus. 5. That the applicant pay into the Town of Vail Parking Fund for the required number of pay- in-lieu parking spaces, as determined at the time of building permit, prior to requesting a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Austria Haus. The applicant shall be required to purchase the pay-in-lieu spaces at the rate in effect at the time of building permit application. 6. That the applicant either remove that portion of building floor area (enclosed areas) currently proposed on Town of Vail property (northwest portion of building/porte-cochere), or appear before the Town Council with a request to subdivide and trade land with the Town. Should the Council agree to a trade of land, all costs incurred to accomplish the land trade shall be paid by the applicant. At this time, the applicant is anticipating a minor subdivision to amend the location of the north property line. The applicant is proposing to trade land with the Town in order to gain an additional one - two feet of property along the northerly property line. In exchange for this land, the applicant is proposing to trade a triangular piece of property, adjacent to Slifer Square, to the Town. 7. That the applicant revise the building floor plans to provide at least 10,100 square feet of accommodation unit square footage, to conform with the equivalency requirement for fractional fee club units, prior to appearing before the Vail Town Council for the first reading of the ordinance establishing Special Development District #35. According to as-builts prepared by the applicant, 10,100 square feet of accommodation unit square footage exists in the Austria Haus. Calculations of the proposed accommodation unit square footage indicates that the applicant needs to provide an additional 181 square feet of accommodation unit square footage. In order to meet this requirement, staff would recommend that the applicant convert the lock-off for Unit # 10 to an accommodation unit. This would increase the total number of accommodation units to 26 and increase the equivalency square footage. f:\everyone\pec\memos\sonnensd.224 40 , 8. That the following design considerations be carefully reviewed by the Design Review Board (as previously discussed in Section IV of this memorandum): A) That the mullions on the windows and doors, as depicted on the building elevations, be a required element of the Austria Haus project. B) That the applicant further modify the south elevation of the structure, as this elevation continues be too architecturally repetitive. C) That the applicant revisit the originally contemplated design which incorporates the loading and delivery facility in the underground parking structure. Staff believes that trying to accommodate loading and delivery in the porte-cochere area will result in conflicts between pedestrians, vehicles accessing the parking structure, and delivery trucks. Staff understands the original design option may not be the desire of the owners of the Village Center Condominiums, yet we believe the impact can be mitigated with appropriate screening. D) That the improvements recommended for East Meadow Drive, as depicted in the approved Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan, be implemented as a part of the Austria Haus project. This includes a reduction in street width from 30 feet to 26 feet (14 foot bus lane and 12 foot attached, paver pedestrian walk). E) That the roof ridge of the structure be carried to the east and west ends of the roof, thereby creating gable ends, rather than a clipped hip. Staff does recognizes that the gable roof form may increase the perceived height of the building, especially on the east and west ends, however, we believe that this will bring the structure more into compliance with the Design Considerations. F) That the applicant increase the roof overhangs on the building. Currently, the overhangs vary from two feet to three feet. Staff would recommend that all the roof overhangs be a minimum of three feet. G) That a minimum of 25 lineal feet of additional glass area (55%) be added to the ground floor (north and east elevations) of the structure. This would make the Austria Haus generally consistent with the transparency of other buildings in the Village. H) That the applicant review and modify the balcony configuration on the building, in order to eliminate the repetitive nature of the existing design, particularly on the south elevation. The majority of the balconies on the Austria Haus are located on the south side of the building, although several french balconies have been incorporated into the design of the north side of the building on the upper floors. I) That the applicant prepare a comprehensive sign program for the Austria Haus. The comprehensive sign program will be reviewed by the DRB. f:\everyone\pec\memos\sonnensd.224 41 1 ' ATTActi:•,rNT i ORDINANCE NO. 22 SERIES of 1996 AN ORDINANCE AMCNllING SECTION 18.04, llErINITIONS, ADDING "FRACTIONAL I+'EE CLU13" AND "FI2ACTIONAL rEE CLUB UNIT", AMENDING SCCTION 18.22.030, CONDITIONAL USLS, ALLOWINC I'I2ACTIONAL FEE CLUB AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION ZONE DISTRICT, ANIENDING SECTION 18.60.060(A)(7), CONllIT10NAL USE PE12NIIT CRITERIA- P'INDINGS.

A request for a final review of the establishment of Special Development District #35, Austria Haus, located at 242 East Nieadow Drive/on a part of Tract C, Block 5-D, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Sonnenalp Properties, Inc., represented by Gordon Pierce Planner: George Ruther Greg Moffet said that George would address the issues that the PEC hadn't addressed before, but he said in no way should it constrain any comments from the PEC about other issues. George Ruther gave an overview of the staff inemo. He indicated that the PEC was in a decision-making role-with regard to the conditional use permit request for a fractional fee club and the PEC in an advisory role with regard to the SDD since they would be making a Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes February 24, 1997 16 recommendation to Council. He said that staff was recommending approval of the conditionai use permit request and for the establishment of SDD No. 35, with the 8 conditions as listed in the staff inemo. Gordon Pierce said he started the development review process for the Austria Haus over 8 months ago. He said that just 6 weeks ago other issues that came up with the PEC and staff provided a letter identifying 53 issues that had to be addressed. Gordon said he had addressed each of the Town's issues and could work with staff on all 8 conditions with the exception of 8E. He indicated that he would be able to reconfigure the roof form as requested in condition 8E as requested by staff. Greg Moffet asked for any public comment. Jim Lamont, representing the EVHA, raised the SDD issue. He said regarding the zoning that the SDD should have standards applicable in all circumstances. He asked staff if they clearly defined that this project was in a location that allow it to have these deviations and still be in conformance with the immediate neighbors. He would still like staff to provide all projects in the PA Zone District that have received an SDD by the time this goes to Council, in order to track the amount of deviation. He said that The Athletic Club had 50% deviation. He felt if given to the other side of the creek, it would be out of character. He said that this needed a directive that this was for this particular site only and to make sure that this project was using the same standards as all other projects, i.e., employee housing and off-site improvements. He said that the employee housing formula, as provided in the staff inemo, was a quantum step forward. He also said there were extensive streetscape improvements connected with this project. He wanted to assure that this project was the benchmark for all other SDD properties and that any projects coming in the door would have to attain this same level of landscaping for similar increases in GRFA. He said the buildings adjacent to this site did share the same characteristics regarding height and density, which treated this in the area of its peers. He felt that the lock-off units did not add any benefits. He said that the language should be modified to provide equivalency. He felt regarding the conditions, that the clipped roofs were ok, as it brought about a better relationship with the Village Center. He felt that truck loading could take place under the building regarding condition 8C, and the fact that if it could serve adjacent buildings with a tunnel, it should be considered a public benefit. George Ruther said that staff believed the proposal was in compliance with the SDD criteria, as stated in the staff inemo and that the off-site improvements were directly related to the proposal presented by the applicant. He stated that SDD are like variances and not precedence setting. Gordon Pierce said 100% of the landscaping around the property could be put that into a formula quantified by the staff down the road. Greg Moffet asked for any other public comments. There was none. Galen Aasland said he was not here for the last meeting and that he liked the north elevation better and asked about accessing the balconies. Gordon Pierce said there were no balconies so access was not an issue. Planning and Environmental Comtnission Minutes February 24, 1997 17 Galen Aasiand said he liked the wider dormers on the north side of the roof and supported the hips on the roof as it reduced the bulk and rnass of the building. He said the roof form was much improved and more interesting with the stepping. He said the floor to floor heights were not excessive and asked if that was a flat roof over the sales office. Gordon Pierce said there was no flat roof on the east side, it was a pitched roof. Galen Aasland said he supported buildings that were unpretentious and fit well with the neighborhood. He asked if there was access to the lofts on the top floor. Gordon Pierce said attic space was needed in the building for the mechanical equipment for the air conditioning system. He stated he did not want any mechanical equipment to be exposed on the roof. Galen Aasland was concerned with the roof slope. He felt it could be reduced since a hallway may not be needed on the loft level. He said it could possibly remove 4.5' off the height of the building which would be a significant advantage to the Town. He said to reconsider the clock on the north side of the tower. He said the lock-offs function well and he would like to see the loading dock go into the underground parking area. Diane Golden said the streetscape was a great benefit to the Town as it was helping with the implementation of the Master Plan. She supported this project as presented. Henry Pratt said the building fits the site well, but the clip hip gable was an issue. He was against not having condition 8E and he agreed with Galen regarding the height. John Schofield agreed with staff's recommendation and conditions in the staff inemo. He agreed with staffs's concerns regarding the location of the loading and delivery. He urged the applicant to go underground with the loading and delivery, as he hated to see trucks mixed in with pedestrians. He urged the applicant to resolve the streamwalk issue before it goes to Council as it needed to be resolved. He felt the landscaping was adequate. He strongly recommended to Council that there be monetary compensation of landscape improvements off- site. He said that the DRB should closely review the landscaping as it was an important issue. Gene Uselton said he agreed with Galen that the south elevation was not too repetitive as redesigned. He asked about the traffic issue on East Meadow Drive between the Bavaria Haus and Austria Haus. Johannes Faessler said hotel services will be provided from the Bavaria Haus to the Austria Haus and that was the traffic back and forth with room service, laundry service, and trash. He said the traffic will be electric carts. Gene Uselton asked the applicant to explain the loading and delivery. Gordon Pierce said boutique owners would have small deliveries by UPS. He said after the initial stocking up in the fall, deliveries would be infrequent. He said that larger deliveries could back down teh parking structure access ramp and cars would still be able to get past. He felt it disproportionate to have underground detiveries for the few small commercial shops. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes February 24, 1997 18 Gene Uselton asked if the 11 additional employees that staff had caiculated was acceptable to the applicant. Gordon Pierce said, yes. George Ruther explained that the combination of retail/commercial, lodging and office uses generated the need to provide housing for at least 11 employees. Gene Uselton asked the applicant if, on page 40 of the staff inemo, condition 6 had been worked out with staff. Gordon Pierce said he worked it out with George that the developers would be requesting to trade some property with the Town of Vail. George Ruther stated that the determination of whether a trade or exchange was acceptable would be the Council's decision. Gene Uselton asked if condition 7 was agreed upon with George. Gordon Pierce said, yes. Greg Moffet asked Gene if he agreed with Galen regarding the clock and roof. Gene Uselton said he agreed. Greg Amsden asked if not occupied by the owner, could the lock-offs be rent. George Ruther said that the PEC made a recommendation to Council that lock-offs be considered in the equivalency requirement and that the lock-offs when not in use by the owners, be placed in a rentaf program. He stated teh Council removed that language during their review of the fractional fee ordinance. Gordon Pierce said that he felt the Council took a conservative stance. Greg Amsden asked why would you have lock-offs then and why did the Council take them out. George Ruther said that the lock-offs would be rented at the owner's discretion. He said Council chose not to incentivise lock-off units. Jim Lamont asked if the Council would to make it a condition of approval for an SDD. Gordon Pierce said for us not to want to rent the lock-offs when not in use would be stupid. Greg Amsden said it would be something for the Town to pursue. Jim Lamont said the issue could be re-raised with Council when there was track record illustrating the occupancy rate of the lock-off units. Dan Telleen, owner of Karats, said you could not consider the lock-offs as hotel rooms, as they wouldn't be available on short-term notice. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes February 24, 1997 19 Greg Amsden said the Council should incentivize and encourage lock-off units in hotels. George Ruther said the Council had made their decision on the issue in the fractional fee ordinance and felt that if it made economic sense, the private market would do it. Greg Amsden said we review the development standards each development site in an SDD on a case-by-case basis, therefore, you couldn't quantify standards and off-site improvements across the board. He said he would rather leave it up to the applicant regarding the need for mechanical space since he did not want to see mechanical equipment on the roof. Greg Moffet said on pages 15-18, the provisions of the Master Plan, showed this project fell well within the perimeters set out in those two plans and he was comfortable voting in favor of this. He said he was concerned about the overall size, but the site could support it. He agreed with Galen that there should be only one clock tower in Town, so the applicant should remove the clock from the tower. Greg stated that every SDD application by necessity would be a site-by- site issue. He said the PEC was quasi-judicial, not quasi-legislative. He said this was a great project. Gordon Pierce stated that getting financing for hotel projects was extremely difficult, but it made sense to get the highest quality because in two years they would work better than most of the hotel rooms. Greg Moffet asked how long the management contract with the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus was. Johannes Faessler said the individual owners could get new management, but we owned all the hotel rooms. Greg Moffet asked for a motion. George Ruther said there would need to be two motions; first for the establishment of the SDD, followed by a second for the conditional use permit request for the fractional fee club. Henry Pratt said in light of Johannes Faessler's newly disclosed on-going ownership of the hotel room, he had to recuse himself, as he was working on another project for Johannes. Greg Moffet said he didn't catch the consensus on 8C regarding the delivery, but he summarized that the PEC felt that condition 8E should be stricken, the roof slope should be reduced and the clock taken off the tower. Galen Aasland said that this would set a precedent and that this was the appropriate venue to set it as it applies to this issue. George Ruther reminded the PEC that SDD's are not precedent setting since they are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Greg Moffet brought up the streamwalk. Diane Golden said that it had nothing to do with this building and she asked if it was fair to tie it together. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes 2 O February 24, 1997 George Ruther said it should be part of the Austria Haus. John Schofield said at a minimum, landscaping and revegetation should be done on the stream tract. Jim Lamont said revegetation and landscaping should take place at the same time as construction. Jim said the money had been set aside for restoration and landscaping. John Schofield quoted condition 1 and said it was covered in that condition. Gordon Pierce stated that Jeff Winston (Urban Design Consultant) said if we started to flatten out the roof it distorted the features. He said rather than nailing us to an exact pitch, which is tough for you to legislate, he would be willing to look at reducing the roof height. Galen Aasland said the applicant was asked to look at lowering the roof in November and it wasn't done. Gordon Pierce said that they had looked at lowering the roof height and that the expert consultant hired by the TOV, Jeff Winston, told us it was ok and so we followed his instructions. Greg Amsden said if the roof line was flattened, the dormers would be flattened and the roof form would be distorted. Jim Lamont asked if the conditions would go to Council. George Ruther said the PEC's recommendation with any conditions are put into the draft ordinance and forwarded to Council. Gene Uselton made a motion for a recommendation of approval to the Town Council for the SDD subject to the conditions in the staff inemo with the deletion of condition 8E. Galen Aasland seconded the motion. Greg Moffet asked to revisit the roof in a condition. Gene Uselton said, no. Greg Amsden said he put a lot of faith in Jeff Winston. Greg Moffet asked George if the ventilation stacks had been addressed. George Ruther said the fan vents had been addressed as illustrate on the roof plan. Gordon Pierce said a false chimney could be built to hide the mechanicals. Galen Aasland asked Gene to revise the motion to request the applicant change the roof pitch to a 4.5:12. He said that would give the PEC an opportunity to look at the roof when the applicant came back in 2 weeks. He would like to hold the applicant to the highest standard. Planning and Environmenta] Commission Minutes February 24, 1997 21 Gene Uselton said he was inclined to leave the motion as it was and not make the roof pitch mandatory. John Schofield said this request still had to go to Council and the DRB and we need to move it along. Gordon Pierce agreed to revisit the roof pitch issue. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0-1, with Henry Pratt abstaining.

SECTION 5 In addition to the Approved Development Plan described in Section 4 above, the following development standards have been submitted to the Planning and Environmental Commission for its consideration and recommendation and are hereby approved by the Town Council.

SECTION 6 The developer, agrees with the following conditions, which are a part of the Town's approval of the establishment of Special Development District No. 35: 1. That the applicant meet with the Town staff, prior to appearing before Town Council for the first reading of an ordinance establishing Special Development District No. 35, . to formulate a construction phasing plan and to determine financial responsibilities for the off-site improvements to Slifer Square, East IvTeadow Drive and the revegetation of the Town-owned stream tract, south of the Austria Haus. Staff will then make a recommendation to Council regarding the construction phasing and financial responsibilities of the off-site improvements. 2. That the applicant prepare a deed restriction or covenant, subject to the Town Attomey's review and approval, restricting the current and future owner's ability to locate a restaurant or similar food service operation on the Austria Haus property. Said deed restriction or covenant shall be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office prior to the applicant submitting for a building permit. 3. That the applicant submit the following plans to the Department of Community Development for review and approval as a part of the building permit application for the Austria Haus: a. Tree Preservation Plan; b. Erosion Control and Sedimentation Plan; c. Construction Staging and Phasing Plan; d. Stormwater Management Plan; e. Site Dewatering Plan; and f. Traffic Control Plan. Ordinance 4 5 Series of 1997 4. That the applicant provide deed restricted employee housing which complies with Town of Vail Employee Housing requirements (Chapter 18.57) for a minimum of eleven (11) employees, and that said deed restricted housing be made available for occupancy and the deed restriction(s) recorded with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder, prior to requesting a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Austria - Haus. 5. That the applicant pay into the Town of Vail Parking Fund for the required number ofpay-in-lieu parking spaces, as determined at the time of building permit application (approximately 16.26 spaces), prior to requesting a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Ausfia Haus. The applicant shall be required to purchase the pay- in-lieu spaces at the rate in effect at the time of building permit application. 6. That the applicant either remove that portion of building floor area (enclosed areas) currently proposed on Town of Vail property (northwest portion of building/front entry drop-off), or appear before the Town Council with a request to subdivide and trade land with the Town. Should the Council agree to a trade of land, all costs incurred to accomplish the land trade shall be paid by the applicant. At this time, the applicant is anticipating a minor subdivision to amend the location of the north property line. The applicant is proposing to trade land with the Town in order to gain an additional one-to-two feet of property along the northerly property line. In exchange for this land, the applicant is proposing to dedicate a triangular piece of property, adjacent to Slifer Square, to the Town. 7. That the applicant revise the building floor plans to provide at least 10,100 square feet of accommodation unit square footage, to conform with the equivalency requirement for fractional fee club units, prior to appearing before the Vail Town Council for the first reading of the ordinance establishing Special Development District No. 35. According to "as-builts" prepared by the applicant, 10,100 square feet of accommodation unit square footage exists in the Austria Haus. Calculations of the proposed accommodation unit square footage indicates that the applicant needs to provide an additional 181 square feet of accommodation unit square footage. In order to meet this requirement, staffwould recommend that the applicant convert the lock-off for Fractional Fee Club Unit # 10 to an accommodation unit. This would Ordinance 4 6 Series of 1997 e a increase the total number of accommodation units to twenty-six (26) and increase the equivalency square footage to 10,234 syuare feet. 8. That the following design considerations be carefully reviewed by the Design Review Board: A) That the mullions on the windows and doors, as depicted on the building elevations, be a required element of the Aush-ia Haus project. B) That the applicant further modify the south elevation of the structure, as this elevation continues to be too architecturally repetitive. C) That the applicant revisit the originally contemplated design which incorporates the loading and delivery facility in the underground parking structure. Staffbelieves that trying to accommodate loading and delivery in the front entry drop-off area will result in conflicts between pedestrians, vehicles accessing the parking structure, and delivery trucks. Staff understands the original design option may not be the desire of the owners of the Village Center Condominiums, yet we believe the impact can be mitigated with appropriate screening. D) That the improvements recommended for East Meadow Drive, as depicted in the approved Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan, be implemented as a part of the Austria Haus project. This includes a reduction in street width from 30 feet to 26 feet (14 foot bus lane and 12 foot attached, paver pedestrian walk). E) That the applicant increase the roof overhangs on the building. Currently, the ove'rhangs vary from two feet to three feet. Staff would recommend that all the roof overhangs be a minimum of three feet, with the exception of the overhangs on the dormers. F) That a minimum of 251ineal feet of additional glass area (55%) be added to the ground floor (north and east elevafions) of the structure. This would make the Ausfia Haus generally consistent with the transparency of other buildings in the Village. Ordinanca 4 7 Series of 1997 s G) That the applicant review and modify the balcony configuration on the building in order to eliminate the repetitive nature of the existing design, particularly on the south elevation. The majority of the balconies on the Austria Haus are located on the south side of the building, although several ' french balconies have been incorporated into the design of the north side of the building on the upper floors. H) That the applicant prepare a comprehensive sign program for the Austria Haus. The comprehensive sign program shall be reviewed and approved by the DRB. SECTION 7 Amendments to the Approved Development Plan which do not change its substance may be approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission at a regularly scheduled public hearing in accordance with the provisions of Sections ] 8.66.060 and 18.40.100. Amendments which change the substance of the Approved Developrrient Plan shall be required to be approved by the Town Council after the above-procedure has been followed. The Community Development Department shall determine what constitutes a change in the substance of the Approved Development Plan, in accordance with the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail. SECTION 8 The developer must begin construction of the Special Development District within three (3) years from the effective date of this ordinarice, and continue diligently toward completion of the project. If the developer does not begin and diligently work towards the completion of the Special Development District, or at any stage of the Special Development District, the developer shall recommend to the Town Council that either the approval of Special Development District No. 35 be extended, that tbe approval of Special Development District No. 35 be revoked or that Special Development District No. 35 be amended. SECTION 9 If any part, section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it would have passed this ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid. Ordinance 4 8 Saries of 1997 ) ] SECTION 10 The Town Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this ordinance is necessary and proper for the health, safety and welfare of the Town of Vail and the inhabitants thereof.

All Concerned Individuals Page 4 March 17, 1997 Insta11300 feet of highway guardrail along South Frontage Road to protect bleachers and spectator areas adjacent to softball fields. In response to questions raised regarding a potential drop-off area on South Frontage Road adjacent to the softball field, staff recommends that drop-off be prohibited in the area for roadway safety reasons. 24. Section 6, Sheet 3, description of South Frontage Road improvements: The following sentences have been added. Construct raised, landscaped median islands where possible to reduce the quantity of paved surface and to delineate travel lanes. (See typical cross section of inedian island) The turning and travel lanes indicated on the plan are in accordance with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) highway access code requirements. Staff acknowledges comments made regarding the safety of the landscaped medians and offers the following response. The landscaped medians will be raised 2 feet above the roadway surface which will make them visible to maintenance vehicle operators and motorists. Staff references similar medians on Main Street in the Town of Frisco. CDOT will need to review and approve all construction plans for South Frontage Road. 25. Section 6, Sheet 3, description of Bus Stop: The words "/Drop-offl' have been added to the heading. The word "diagonal" has been changed to "dedicated drop-off." 26. Section 6, Sheet 3, description of Tennis Court Relocation: Staff acknowledges the concerns raised regarding the potential expense of the tennis court relocation and the responsibility of the Town to fund the work. Staff emphasizes the combination of benefits gained by the relocation justify the expense. This combination of benefits includes: 0 an increase in safety for users entering and exiting the park; 0 the formalization and improved functioning of the bus/drop-off area; 0 an improvement to the function and aesthetics of the main park entrance, including utilization of the East Access Road; and 0 the retention and maximization of existing parking spaces. 27. Section 6, Sheet 5, description of Manor Vail Bridge: Staff acknowledges comments regarding the aesthetics of being close to the creek in this location. However, staff recommends the bridge elevation be raised and the approach paths be reconstructed for the following reasons: All Concerned Individuals Page 5 March 17, 1997 0 the Manor Vail walkway is a major access point to the park from the village and provides the best opportunity to comply with current accessibility standards; 0 other opportunities exist for park users to interact with the creek, including the Nature Center bridge, creek side picnic area, and streamwalk; and 0 the popularity of Gore Creek for water recreation sports and the ability to correct the safety concern caused by the low bridge. 28. Section 6, Sheet 7, description of the Vail Alpine Garden Educational Center: The Educational Center has been deleted from the plan because the project has not yet been sufficiently defined to accurately evaluate its relationship and impact to the park. 29. Section 6, Sheet 7, description of Soccer Field parking: The words "Athletic Field" have been changed to "Soccer Field", and the current paragaph has been deleted and replaced by the following sentence. Improve the Soccer Field parking lot driveway entrance and restripe the existing lot to maximize the number of parking spaces. 30. Section 6, Sheet 7, description of Pedestrian Connections: the current paragraph has been deleted and replaced by the following paragraph. Construct pedestrian/bicycle lanes on each side of Vail Valley Drive from Golden Peak to the bus turnaround area. (See cross section drawing) The roadway section consists of (2) 6 foot pedestrian/bicycle lanes (8.5 feet to back of curb) and (2) 12 foot travel lanes. These lane widths are consistent with the minimum Town standards for collectar streets with bicycle lanes. Construct bus stops on both sides of Vail Valley Drive in proximity of the Soccer Field parking lot and elevator/stairway building for use on the in-town shuttle route. Install directional signs and lighting as needed. Improve the existing Nature Center trails and paths as needed. Traffic volume, based on recent studies for the Golden Peak ski base on Vail Valley Drive is;560 vehicles per hour. The Town standards for traffic volume on a collector street is 300 to 750 vehicles per hour. lEand off reviseouns. n ~ORD PARK MANL~~~~~NT PLAN An Amendment to the Ford Park 1Vlaster Plan fCOMPILIETI~~ BYo ll HE TOW1`tl OF VAI1Ly DEPART19'llEl~~~ PUB1LffC V'V' ORKS AND TRANS1C ORTAti ION COltl'11MUl'G 11TY DEVJ LLOPMENIL AND ADMINgSTRA'I['ION CONS UILTAN'g'S WINSTON ASSOCIATES BOtU~DER9 CO MARCH 1/y 199/ ~ORD PARK MANE~~EM~NT PLAN An Amendment to the Ford Park 1Vlaster Plan Town off Vag~ ~~affo Pamela Brandmeyer, Assistant Town 1Vlanager Larry E.

The Ford Park Management Plan herein presented is to serve as an amendment to the 1985 Master Plan for Gerald R. Ford Park. The Ford Park Management Plan contains eight sections. Sections 1- 4 introduce the plan: An executive summary, a history and time line of Ford Park, a description of the managernent plan process, and a statement of purpose of the management plan. Section 5 is the heart of the management plan: a set of six management goals with accompanying objectives, action steps, and policy statements _ to provide a framework for future management decisions. Section 6 contains illustrative, conceptual plans and written descriptions which support the various action steps. A 5- Year Capital Improvements Program for Ford Park is presented in Section 7. Section 8 is an appendix containing copies of pertinent legislative and legal documents. 3ection 1: lExecutive SummaY-v. The property which is today Gerald R. Ford Park was acquired by the town in 1973 in response to public reaction against a high density residential development proposal. The 39 acre park site represented the last remaining parcel of land central to use by all residents and visitors of the Vail Community. The Vail Plan (1973) described the site as a major community park - cultural center that would satisfy the town's gowing recreational and cultural needs. Development of the lower portion of the park was directed by the Gerald R. Ford/Donovan Park Master Plan (1985). Strong public participation led to the establishment of guidelines for the implementation of future improvements. Upper area improvements, softball fields, tennis courts, and parking areas, were constructed without the benefit of preplanning and subsequently created some barriers to the lower bench, natural areas, and Nature Center. The Vail Village Master Plan (1990) recommended the park be considered as a site for additional skier parking to serve expansion on the eastern side of Vail Mountain. It also recommended the construction of bike/pedestrian ways along the South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. 1 0 There are currently four main organizations involved in the operation of Ford Park. The Town of Vail, Vail Recreation District, Alpine Garden Foundation, and the Vail Valley Foundation all play distinct roles and manage separate portions of the park. The Town of Vail is the owner of the park and manages the community park, stream tract, and parking lot areas. The other three organizations each hold a lease or license agreement to operate their respective facilities and programs within the park. A proposal by the Alpine Garden Foundation to construct an educational center within the garden area was a significant impetus to the creation of this document. However, several other formal and informal development expansion proposals and numerous unresolved park management issues existed. This plan is intended to create a means to evaluate development proposals in order to protect and enhance the character of the park. This plan is a direct product of strong public participation in focus groups and public input sessions. One clear, concise message was conveyed to the town staff from the public participants: "Your role is steward to the park; don't screw it up by over development." To that end, this plan, serving as an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, is intended to guide the outcome of future development and improvement proposals through the implementation of six major goals. 1. Preservation and protection 2. Reduction of vehicular intrusions 3. Reduction of conflicts between venues 4. Resolution of parking and Frontage Road access problems 5. Improvement of pedestrian circulation 6. Delineation of financial responsibilities Designed to be a framework for future management decisions, a series of objectives, action steps and policy statements facilitate the implementation of each goal statement. 2 Sec4aon 2: lBackground of Fou-d 1Park. History Gerald R. Ford Park has been the subject of numerous legislative and community planning actions over the last 24 years. The following time line illustrates the relationship between the actions discussed in this section. The Ford Park site was acquired by the Town of Vail in April of 1973 for the stated purpose of improving the quality of life in the community. This 39 acre park site represented the last remaining parcel of land central to use by all residents and visitors of the Vail community. The existing conditions plan, which follows this section, illustrates Ford Park in its current condition. Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1973, signed April 3, 1973, (a copy of which is included in the Appendix), authorized the purchase (by condemnation) of the property known as the Antholz Ranch. The ordinance listed a variety of possible uses for the property including the following: 0 for park and greenbelt purposes, 0 to preserve the natural and physical character of the area to be condemned, 0 for bicycle, equestrian and hiking trails, 0 for children's playground, 0 for performing arts and civic center, 0 for a ski lift and related facilities, 0 for picnic areas, 0 far recreational facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, gymnasium, ice skating rink, 0 for theater and assembly halls, convention center, public schools, 0 for possible exchange or trade of condemned land, or a portion thereof, with other property which may exactly meet the needs of the town, 0 to construct and maintain water works, transportation systems, and other public utilities relating to public health, safety, and welfare. In August of 1973, the Vail Plan was completed. This plan was designed to control the growth and development of the community and contained a chapter on the town recreation system. The Antholz Ranch property was mentioned as the only site satisfying the recreation use anticipated. In the Vail Plan the uses intended for the properiy were further defined. The uses listed include a place far showing and creating art, crafts, etc.; an indoor theater as well as an 800 seat outdoor amphitheater; meeting rooms and community workshops; wide outdoor terraces and natural landscapes; indoor ice arena, tennis and handball courts; children's play facilities and space for family activities; headquarters for the Annual Vail Symposium and local television; and a possible location for an ecologium (nature center). The property was described as a major community 3 park-cultural center. The plan called for 200 surface parking spaces and direct service from the town bus system. Major parking needs were to be accommodated in the Vail Transportation Center with various trails and bikeways connecting to the park. In January of 1977, Resolution No. l, Series of 1977, was passed naming the property commonly known as the Antholz Ranch as Gerald R. Ford Park in appreciation of President Ford's contributions to the community. Resolution No. l, Series of 1977 is included in the Appendix. In August of 1985 the Gerald R. Ford Park and Donovan Park Master Plan Development Final Report was completed. The Ford Park Master Plan was adopted by Council with Resolution No. 19, Series of 1985, which is included in the Appendix. The purpose of the master plan was to guide the future development of these parks and establish guidelines for the implementation of improvements. The master planning project used a Recreation Needs Analysis Survey and involvement of the public in determining the recreation priorities of the community and the design concepts and criteria for the two park sites. The Ford Park master plan proposed a swimming pool complex, neighborhood park improvements, a skating rink on the lower bench, and the realignment of the eastern 5oftball field. The neighborhood park open space area, playground, and access road were the only portions of the master plan actually constructed. The first major structure to be constructed in the park, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, was completed in July of 1987. The Par•king and Tr-ansit Study completecl in April of 1979 for the Amphitheater- made five r-ecommendations: The Village Str•ucture sliould be considered the major• parking facilitv for Ford Park, with improvements to the signs, sidewalks, and bus service being necessary; extencl shuttle btts ser•vice to the soccer fteld; disallow Frontage Road parking; construct a vehicle turn-ar-ound and passenger- unloading area at Ford Park; and do not schedule concur•rent events. Resolution No. 27, Series of 1987, was passed on November 3, 1987. Resolution 27 designated the seven acres around the Nature Center as an area to be preserved as an example of the Gore Valley's natural history. Vehicular traffic was restricted and certain policies and procedures for preservation and maintenance of the grounds and facilities were established with the resolution. A copy of resolution No. 27, Series of 1987, is included in the Appendix. Development of the community park portion on the lower bench of Ford Park included the restroom, playground area, open turf area and picnic facilities, and the west access road. These improvements were completed in November of 1988. In December of 1988, the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District (Now the Vail Recreation District) and the Town of Vail, requested an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan. The two phase amendment was adopted by Council as Resolution No. 44, Series of 4 1988. A copy of the resolution is included in the appendix. Phase one of the amendment was to utilize the on-site tennis courts and allow the construction of four additional courts. Phase two of the amendment changed the proposed location of the Aquatic Facility to the eastern softball field. Funding of the Aquatic Facility was rejected by voters in a special election on February 6, 1989. Vail Town Council was presented with a petition to delete all reference to an aquatics center from the Ford Park Master Plan in April of 1990. No record of Council action on the petition was found. While the tennis center building is not mentioned in the Master plan amendment, the VRD did receive a Conditional Use Permit for the project on May 8, 1990. The Vail Village Master Plan, adopted January 16, 1990, addresses Ford Park as a specific study area. This study acknowledges the use of the park in recent years to accommodate overflow skier and local parking needs. It recommends the park be studied further as a site for additional skier parking to serve expansion of the eastern side of Vail Mountain. Action Step #5 under Goal #5 states "study the feasibility of an underground (recreation fields would remain) parking structure in Ford Park." The Parking and Circulation Plan, within the Vail Village Master Plan, identifies the westem portion of the upper bench for "potential parking beneath park," and calls for separated bike/pedestrian ways along the South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. The Vail Transportation Master Plan, completed in 1993, states, "The existing Ford Park Parking ar•ea (east end of par•k) should be considered for a possible 2-level parking facilitv with tlie second level below existing gr-ade. " Ford Park and the athletic field parking area are also listed as t-vvo possible sites for oversized vehicles if the lot east of the Lionsliead Structure becomes developed. Currerat Park 1M[anageereent There are currently four main organizations operating in Gerald R. Ford Park. The Town of Vail, Vail Recreation District, Alpine Garden Foundation, and the Vail Valley Foundation all play distinct roles and manage separate portions of the park. The Town of Vail is the owner of the entire Gerald R. Ford Park site and manages the community park, stream tract, and parking lot areas. The other three organizations each hold a lease or license agreement to operate their respective facilities and programs within the park. The Vail Recreation District Lease of December 21, 1993, describes the premises license as including the upper bench of Ford Park, public tennis courts, athletic fields and Nature Center, although the graphic representation of the premises was not attached to the lease agreement. The VRD offers a variety of sports leagues, camps, and tournaments to area residents and guests. The Vail Nature Center occupies the seven acres between Vail Valley Drive and Gore Creek and offers environmental education and research opportunities to residents and guests. While officially a public parking lot, Vail Associates frequently utilizes the athletic field parking lot for employees working out of the Golden peak ski base. A copy of the Vail Recreation District lease is included in the Appendix. 5 The Vail Valley Foundation,(VVF), a non-profit, charitable organization, manages and maintains the Ford Amphitheater and immediate grounds. The terms of the agreement between the Town and the VVF, signed December 8, 1987, and extended to October 31, 2001, include an endowtnent for ongoing repair and maintenance of the Amphitheater. The amphitheater seats up to 2,500 people and is scheduled an average of 58 days during the summer. Hot Summer Nights concerts, Bravo! Colorado, and the Bolshoi Ballet are some of the more popular programs held at the amphitheater. The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, a Colorado non-profit corporation, manages the three existing phases of the Betty Ford Alpine Garden under a Limited License Agreement signed June 8, 1994. The terms and conditions of a Lease Agreement are currently being negotiated. The original Alpine Display Garden was constructed in 1987 under a license agreement with the Town at the entrance to the amphitheater. The site for the Alpine Garden was established in the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan to act as a buffer between the amphitheater and active park areas. The second phase of the garden, the Perennial Garden, and third phase, the Meditation Garden, were constructed in 1989 and 1991 respectively. A fourth and final phase, the Alpine Rock Garden, is currently being planned for construction in 1998. A proposal by the Alpine Garden Foundation to construct an Educational Center with the final phase of the garden has been controversial. Opposition to the expanded use of the garden and the interior of park has been a significant impetus to the creation of this master plan amendment. In response to that opposition, the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation modified the proposal to locate the Educational Center near the athletic field parking lot on Vail Valley Drive. This location received conceptual approval by the Council on October 15, 1996, allowing the Foundation to proceed through the design process within the Town. The lower bench of Ford Park, is managed by the Town of Vail Department of Public Works and Transportation and serves as a community park and open space facility with picnic, playground and open play areas. The lower bench is utilized several times a year for special events where large tents are often erected to accommodate the activities. Access to the park from the Golden Peak ski base is by a public access easement through the Manor Vail property. A copy of the easement is included in the Appendix. The Town operates the upper bench parking lot as a public parking facility during the ski season. Access to the upper bench parking areas is from the State owned South Frontage Road. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is the agency responsible for reviewing and approving access permit applications from the State-owned Frontage Road. Currently, no access permit has been issued for the access by the CDOT. CDOT Frontage Road right-of-way covers a substantial portion of the existing gravel parking lot. 6 'p'nme lL'ene of lFord ParEc Actnvaties• April 1973 Condemnation of Antholz Rancb.

June 1995 Town begins Ford Park Management Plan.. October 1996 Council allows Vail Alpine Garden Foundation to proceed through process Twith Educational Center plans at Soccer Field parking lot. Section 3: Description off the process of deve?oping the 1Vi[anagernent P?an The Ford Park Management Plan process was initiated in June of 1995 in response to several development proposals which had been formally and informally discussed and as a means to solve existing park management issues. The development proposals included an Educational Center for the Betty Ford Alpine Garden, cultural/performing arts center, expansion of the tennis facility, athletic field fencing, and a community parking structure. Park management issues included parking shortage, frontage road access, pedestrian access and circulation, access for the elderly and disabled, utilization of the lower bench, conflicts between uses within the park, conflicts with adjacent property owners, and delineation of financial responsibilities. At the time the project was authorized, Council expressed concern that a new master plan for Ford Park would result in an excessive amount of new development. In response, staff noted the intention of the project was to create a"management plan" as a means to adequately and consistently evaluate development proposals, thus limiting development and protecting the character of the park. Those organizations with a financial and managerial role along, with two neighborhood representatives, were identified as the Stakeholder Group and were invited to participate in the process. A third party facilitatar was retained for the project in August of 1995. Staff inembers from the Town, Vail Recreation District and Alpine Garden participated in • the facilitator selection process. Staff felt that a third-party facilitator would be beneficial to the project by offering a non-biased opinion and increasing Stakeholder participation. The Stakeholder Group was assembled in a series of ineetings over the eight month period from August 1995 to April 1996. The meetings drew out issues, ideas, expansion proposals, and began formulating possible solutions. Alternative design solutions addressing parking options, vehicular access, Frontage Road improvements, additional sports facilities and management policies, were presented to the public in an open house at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater on June 12, 1996. Citizens were asked to complete a self-guided presentation and opinion survey form. A synopsis of the open house presentation and summary of the opinion survey are included in the Appendix. The open house presentation was a turning point in the process of developing the Management Plan. Several residents were alarmed by the alternatives included in the presentation and initiated a grass-roots movement to place a referendum on any future expansion/development within the park. This strong public reaction, combined with a lack of closure with the Stakeholders Group, prompted the Town to revise the process to include more public involvement at that time. Previously, public input was being reserved for a time when alternative plans could be presented for comment. Three Focus Group meetings with selected individuals from the community were held on September 18, 1996. Stakeholder groups were invited to submit a list of questions for inclusion in the Focus 7 Group discussions. In round table discussion, individuals were asked to respond to a list of prepared questions regarding uses and issues associated with Ford Park. The Focus Group questions and responses are included in the Appendix. Additional public input sessions were held on October 2 and 3, 1996„ which validated the focus group responses and fiu-ther refined staff's understanding of the public perception and desire regarding Ford Park. The combined results of the focus group and public input sessions along with a preliminary master plan framework, were presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission on October 14, 1996, and Town Council on October 15, 1996. Both PEC and Council directed staff to proceed with drafting the plan as an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Nlaster Plan based on the input received and presented. 8 Sectioan 4: Prnrpose off the Managegnent Plan This document is formatted as an amendment to the 1985 Master plan (revised) for Ford Park. While some of the physical aspects of the park have changed since the adoption of the 1985 Master plan, the essential character, concept, and function of the park have remained consistent. The 1985 Master Plan, enhanced by this amendment, remains a valid document to be used in the future planning and decision-making process for Ford Park. As with all master plans, this document will have a definite life for which it remains a useful decision-making tool. The life expectancy of this plan is approximately 10 years but should remain in effect until replaced by an updated master plan document. The Ford Park Management Plan will take precedence over the 1985 Master Plan where conflicts or• discrepancies occur. The intention of the combined documents is to guide the outcome of future development proposals within Ford Park by modifying the permitted uses (1973 acquisition legislation), recommending development guidelines, limiting the number of leaseholders within Ford Park, and designating buffer/protection zones within and adjacent to the park. The 1985 Master Plan Acknowledges some shortcomings in the overall design of the park, particularly the layout of the upper bench area and the internal pedestrian circulation system. This amendment will formulate design alternatives to these specific problem areas to correct the deficiencies that exist. This amendment will also delineate managerial, • operational, and fmancial responsibilities between the Town and the leaseholders. 9 Sectaon 5: Goals. Objectives. Policies and Action Steps, Goals for Ford Park are summarized in six major goal statements. Each goal statement focuses on a particular aspect of Ford Park brought up during the stakeholder and public input portions of the Management Plan process. As one might anticipate, there is a certain amount of overlap between the goal statements. The issues conceming Ford Park are complicated and convoluted as are the solutions to these issues. It is intended that the goal statements be consistent and complementary to each other and be designed to provide a framework, or direction, for the future management of Ford Park. A series of objectives following each goal statement outline specific steps that can be taken toward achieving each stated goal. Policy statements are intended to guide decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives in reviewing development proposals and implementing capital improvement projects. Action steps are the final measure in implementing the goal statements. Illustrative plans following the Goals, Objective, and Action Steps are included to help explain the concepts represented by those statements. The illustrations are conceptual and are not to be considered as fmal design solutions. Goal #1: 1Preserve and pu-otect lFord Park. Olbjectives: 1.1: Limit future development. Action Step l. l. l: Draft a new ordinance to exclude those uses listed in Ordinance No.6, Series of 1973, now considered to be inappropriate, and to redefine the allowable uses within Ford Park. 1Polecy Statement 1: The following uses that are allowed and prohibited for Ford Park shall take precedence over Section 18.36.030 of the Municipal Code conceming the General Use Zone District.

McLaurin Town Manager DATE: March 25, 1997 SUBJECT: Town Manager's Report West Vail Interchanae As you are aware, we will be opening bids on Tuesday morning at 11:00 a.m. for the West Vail Interchange project. If the project comes in within our estimate we will ask the Council to authorize the Town Manager to execute the necessary contracts and agreements to begin construction. If, however, the project exceeds our engineer's estimate we will be working over the next week with the engineers and the apparent low bidder to value engineer the project to bring it within our budgeted amount. FY-1996 Audit The audit for the fiscal year 1996 is well underway. Once again, McMahan and Associates are conducting this audit. We expect this work to be complete within the next two weeks. Jerry McMahan will make a formal presentation to the Council on his findings in early May. 1997 Citizen Survev Please find attached to this memorandum a draft copy of the 1997 Community Survey. This instrument is very similar to ones used in previous years. The principle differences this year include the following: Questions 9. and 10. explores satisfaction levels with loading and delive'ry in the Vail Village and Lionshead. I Questions 11. and 12. explore the effectiveness of the free after three parking program. We are also exploring inserting one additional question. The topics for this question have included measuring support for completion of the streamwalk along Gore Creek Drive from the Covered Bridge to the Vail Chapel. The second alternative would explore the use of diverting a portion of the RETT tax to acquisition of housing for locals within the Town of Vail. At this point neither of these questions are in the survey and will not be included unless so directed by the Council. Please review the instrument and let me know if you wish additional changes to be made. RECYCLEDPAPER Building Division Uqdate There are two items with which I wanted to update you regarding the building department. The first involves fees charged for plan review. At this point we charge a plan review fee, however this fee is collected at the time the building permit is issued. There are occasions where we utilize staff resources to conduct a plan review but no building permit is issued. In this case we lose revenue for services rendered. We will be changing this procedure to collect this fee at the time the review is conducted. The second item is in reference to the Uniform Building Code. We currently operate under the 1991 UBC. We did not adopt the 1994 UBC because it had, in our judgment, significant problems. We will be submitting the 1997 UBC for your consideration later this summer. The fees set forth in the 1997 UBC would increase building fees significantly. At this point we are exploring alternatives to ameliorate this fee increase.

DATE: March 21,1997 TO: Town Council COPY: Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board FROM: Susan Connelly, Director of Community Development RE: Development Review gmprovement fl'rocess (DRdP) - Phase I As you know, an interdepartmenta.l team of TOV staff from Community Development, Public Works and Fire has been working for the past year on possible improvements to the existing development review process. The impetus for this effort was the frustration experienced by some our customers (as well as staffl, as reflected in the annual Community Survey. Tlne work has beeun pana-sued on flwo fronts, through a focus on improving the development review process and by reviewing, clarifying, and consolidating existing development staredards and practices. We now propose to bring forward for public review and input the results of the first phase of that team work effort. Phase I of the DRIP effort includes two parts: (1) A d~aft Deve?opment Sgaandards Handbook, a copy of which is attached hereto, and (2) A proposed "trnal run" of an improved desegn revievv pe-ocess for siragle family homes antIl duplexes. This experiment would occur April 14 through June 18, after which staff and our customers would evaluate what worked and what needs further refinement to achieve our objectives of clarity, certainty and efficiency for customers and interdepartmental staff, alike. We have mailed a copy of the enclosed draft of the Problem/Opportunity Statement, Goals and Givens, and the Development Standards Handbook to all local architects, contractors and developers on our mailing list, along with an invitation to the 'g'OV's amnua? Constructioa? Seasoan ]Kick-offf. The 1997 Kickoff will be held on Tlnursday, April 3 frocre 6:30 untiB 8 p.ma in the Council Chambers. An agenda is attached for your review. The attached draft also includes a schedule for community, PEC and Council review of the Development Standards Handbook. That review will begin with an overview of DRIP at the Council worksession on April 1. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please call me or any of the DRIP team members: Greg Hall x 2160 Mike Mollica x2144 Mike McGee x2135 Terri Partch x2169 George Ruther x2145 Jeff Atencio x2462 Larry Pardee x2198 Dominic Mauriello x2148 Dan Stanek x2321 e .1 , v MEItllOllMNDU9Ytl To: Property Owners, Archifects, Engineers, BuBBders, CBt6zens From: Town of Vail - Public VVorks, Fire, and Community Development Departments Date: March 19, 1997 - Re: Development Rediew Ornprovement Process (DRIP) - , Town of Vail Development Standards ConsolBdation - Phase 1 We're MaI(9rAg PB'Ogress 9A11 ~erVS91g YOLI6° NeedS ° A/ld NOUi/ We nYeed YOddB' FI@lpU In an inter-departmental effort, the Town of Vail is proposing to conso6Bdate and clarify development stancJards Anto one, easy-to-read documenq (a handbook). In addition, the staff has also developed revisions to the interdepartmental development process to create a process which is efficient and predictable. Together, these efforts have been termed the Development Review 9mprovement Process (DRIP). The draft Development SYandards Hansibook will: o Allow the public to see which standards exist today 0 which standards have been clarified o which standards are new o Consolidate and formalize existing standards (from other codes, i.e., UFC, UBC, etc.) o Codify the unwritten standards o Make standards easier to find, read, and understand We hope you will review qhis docurnent and let us know what you thBnk about the concept of consolidating ghe existing s4andards and codifying the "unwrri4ten" standards. Please bring your comments to any of the following meetings or mail to the Community Development Department. The proposed process for reviewing this prelirninary draft document is: April t ~ Council wor9csession re: DRIP overoiew (problem statement, goals & givens) April 3 ~ The Annual Construction Kick-off meeting April 28 ~ NUorksession with the PEC Niay 6 ~ lNopksession with the Town Council June/July ~ Return to the PEC with a final version of standards and adopting ordinance Phase 1(attached) of this effort includes issues which the Town Staff has identified as "red flag" issues urrhich could hade the most irnpacY on the siting of a horne on a parcel of land in Vail. These include Residential Access, Driveway and Parking Standards,-Residential Fire Department Access Standards, Parking Lot Design Standards, Geologic Hazards, and Zoning and Development Limitations. Phase 1 is jusq 4he firs4 step iw this consolidation effort. Staff will continue to consolidate standards in this handbook so that ultimately one document contains all of the development standards for the Town of Vail. Future phases will include, public street standards, site grading and retaining walls, canstruction staging, erosion and sedimentation control, etc. TOWNO *VAIL r r DRi4FT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW IMPROVEMENT PROCESS (DRIP) Problem/Opportunity Statement: . In Vail, proposed construction projects undergo a series of reviews and approvals known as the Development Review Process. The Deveiopment Review Process is the process through which , a proposed construction project is revieaved, approved and building permits are issued by inter- departmental staff, the Design Review Board, the Planning and Environmental Commission and - Town Council, as applicable. The Town's annual community survey indicates long held frustration with this process. Both customers and Town staff experience frustration with the application of unwritten standards and conflicts between existing codes. Standards for the development of property in the Town of Vail are codified in numerous sections of the Municipal Code, the Uniform Building Code, the Uniform Fire Code and other documents adopted by reference in the Municipa! Code. Some of these standards are unclear and have required "interpretations" by Town of Vail staff over the years. Our customers need to have a clear understanding of development and design standards in order to obtain approval in an efficient manner. !n response to these concerns, the Town staff has initiated "DRIP," the Development Review Improvement Process. DRIP is a collaborative effort that will involve Town boards and interested members of the community to clarify standards and improve the review process. Through DRIP, the Town has the opportunity to create a process which is predictable, efficient, and fair, with standards that are clear, concise, and codified. All this, while providing for the protection of the health, safety, and aesthetic qualiry of our community. The following are the GOALS of the DRIP effort: 1. Clarify all aspects of the Development Review Process so that it is more efficient - and predictable. 2. Consolidate; clarify and define development standards so that both Town staff and customers have a clear understanding of what is required in order to build or redevelop in the Town of Vail. 3. Educate the users of the process on the need to accept respansibility for providing complete and accurate submittals and required revisions in a timely manner in order to fully benefit from the Development Review Process improvements. Page 1 of 2 T019N *V& . ~~AFr The following are the GOVENS for the DRIP effort: 1. Existing Staff Interpretations and unwrritten requirements will be eliminated or codified as part of this process. 2. Staff will seek, and is committed to, continuous improvement in inter-departmental coordination and cooperation to promote efficiencies in the Development Revievu Process. 3. Requirements and standards required for the general health and safety of the community wrill not be compromised through this effort. 4. The Town of Vail encourages and seeks public involvement in the clarification of development standards and improvement of the Development Review Process. 5. The Town Council will have the final decision making authority on adoption of any Niunicipal Code modifications required to implement DRIP.

The Great Outdoors Colorado Board has approved "our" proposal and has invited us to submit our final application. What this means is that of the approximately 15 Concept Papers that were originally submitted for this last round of Legacy Grants, ours is one of the final four. Even better, the GOCO Board established two tiers for the final decision making. Our Historic Comdor Project and Division of Wildlife's Wetlands Project were selected for the first tier, meaning we can expect "significant" funding. The Gunnison Ranch and Sand Creek Projects were selected for the second tier, meaning they can expect funding that will at least get them started. The final dollar amounts will be announced in July of this year, so it's not over yet ! Everybody should krnow, and pat each other on the back, that there were over 1701etters of support for "our" project with more than $500,000 in cash maxch raised by the four county commissioner boards, all affected municipalities, the BLM and Forest Service, and many individuals and organizations. There were also many hours (days) of inkind work and services committed as well. There is some question in the minds of the GOCO Board_ as to the amount of funds available for this Legacy Grant "round." This is due in.large part to legislation in this session which may take established GOCO fiznds ($32 million a year) and use them for other purposes. In response to this concern, State Parks increase3 their cash match from $1 million to $2 million not just to stress the importance of this project, but also of doing this project "right." Obviously this legislation has significant bearing on the success of "our" project. Hopefully by July this is resolved and Go Co is on firm footing. And more; there is also legislation pending in this session that quite possibly would make it possible for a single land owner to prevent the state from "banking" any rail corridor in Colorado for future rail purposes if interim trail uses are proposed. If this is indeed the outcome of this legislation, it could affect the Heart of the Rockies Corridor as well as other rail banking proposals. This deserves close attention as it moves forward. Finally, recent communications with the Union Pacific indicate that they are "on schedule" regarding the removal of rail traffic from the Tennessee Pass Line. If this is so, we witl now begin to see a reduction in rail traffic this spring, with the last UP train expected to run this October. pg 1 of 2 (7I9) 539-7289 Stcve Recsc Davc Taliafcrro • Patic Macuger River Manager FAJC: (119) 539-3771 Retaining rail service in the Arkansas and Eagle River Valleys remains the Number 1 priority. ('I'here's a train going by my office as I write this). The Governor's Office of Business Development has sent letters of interest to all short line operators in the United States notifying them of this business opportunity. At this time, there have been severa.l responses indicating interest ! Based on responses to this "pre-bid" letter, the Staie will issue a request for proposal (RFP) to provide rail service along the lines proposed for abandonment to everyone expressing interest. The Office,of Business Development plans to complete evaluafions of the RFP's by July, 1997. Again, what we are doing is making sure there is a real insurance policy activated and in place to protect , the corridor and to make something good out of this situation for us here if there are no viable rail operators out there. And again, what we are dealing with is something being decided someplace else by people we - don't lrnow. We, all of us, are the people here now, while this is happening. What happens here, to us, is up to us to accompiish. We'll keep you informed, and together we'll keep plugging away. Don't hesitate tu get in touch and to stay involved. Thanks again to everybody, none of us could do this and keep it going without all of us.

Sincerely, Suzanne Silverthorn and the Proud Employees of the Town of Vail - - - - - - Printed for ssilver@vail.net (Suzanne Silverthorn) 1 Va Village °~oo Merchant Ass.ocia-tion PO 6ox 2135, Vail, CO 81658 March 11,1997 To.the Vail Town Council: After your recent decision regarding "free after 3~00" parking, we feel it is imperative that we as a board address the issue. While we have no objection to the outcome, quite to the contrary, we most vehemently object.to_.the_process that was used in arriving at that decision. For nearly two years we have laboriously persevered in a venture that started..with the creation of the Vail Village Merchants' Association and has since involved its maintenancee It has been a tedious endeavor, one that has required almost full time attention. But for all of that, certain progress has been made that has ulti- mately resulted in the Village merchants having finally established a communication mechanism wYiich functions with a variety of organ- izations in the valley. We currently attend Town Council::meetings on a regular basis, work closely with the town staff on an issue by issue basis, coordinate positions with the East Village Home- owners' Association, discuss common concerns with the Lionshead Merchants' Association and the Beaver Creek Merchants' Associatiori as well as participate in Vail Tomorrow and two housing committees in the valleya Zn addition to that, we presently sit on the boards of the Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition, the Task Force, Chamber of Commerce, Marketing Board, Res.taurant:yssociation and the Special Events Committee. It should be apparent by these efforts tYiat`.we are as diligent as possible in representing the organization at..every.'feasible"levele To speak nothing for the community at large but for reasons very personal to the VVMA, we object to the fact that an issue was raised, debated and decided without any notice to us or anyone else that such a topic was on the agenda - a topic we might add which most directly effects us. It is an unconscionable position for you to take under these or any other circumstances. It not only under- mines our credibility as an organization but severly undermines your credibiliy with our organization and with the communityo The situation is particulary exacerbated since you have positioned your- selves as supporting open forums. Several issues were disturbing;.in'.this.scenario and it is important that they be addressed heree To begin with, the VVMA raised the question of -fre`--parking an at least twa. separate. occasions TfTith Bob Mc Laurin and Larry Grafel. Our request was for free after 5:00 or 6:00. We were at that time trying to do away with the 3 hour limitation and the 6e00 - 9a00 time frame. We were told each time , unequivocably, NO - the Town of Vail budget couldn't be sustaine:: ,tiii°.th.._.that_.,_1os.s. oit:r.evenue.,.:So, instead'...:.-wi.thou~1_any notice and with the swiftest of action, a much more liberal request was mad` and granted. Not only that, but one of our board members who was aware of the proposal before it was made, suggested to a member of the VVCPO that a discussion be raised at the January meeting of the VVMA. He was told no, "better to wait until we're a little further alongo" Naturally, he assumed that there would be an open discussion of the issue, so he let it drope He men- tioned the conversation to me and I told him we'd have plenty of time to respond and not to worrya In addition, in my absence, Susan Harvey was twice asked to join the VVCPO at the Town Council meeting and speak on behalf of the VVMA in support of "free after 3:00"e She declined twice st.?t.? n.n- t.ha.r. she was uncomfortable in taking a public position as our representative when the issue had not been discussed ancl~vated-on-:.- Which of course brings me to a point which is particularly abhorrent to me. When Rod Slifer was questioned as to whether or not contact had been made with me and the VVMA, he indicated that it had and the VVCPO had our support. Let me make it perfectly clear that the VVMA was never contacted about this proposal nor was I ever contacted about this proposal. In addition, Mr. Slifer has never attended a meeting of the VVMA nor is his firm a member of the VVMA although they have been invited every month for nearly two years. The reality here seems to be that it's business as usual at the Town cf Vail. W:nat we thought we had voted out. last Plavember is iri fact alive and well and functioning at the Town.Council. We cannot stress enough our disappointment:andc:disillusionment.. If there is another set of rules by which we should play other than the ones we have, please forward them to us. If not, we would like your assurance that the public process will not be circumvented again in the future, that all individuals and organizations will be treated equally and fairly and that the values on which you ran your campaigns are still in place and reliable. For without those assurances, there is no need for us as an organization or you as a governing body. Let us again say that we are supportive the decision that was made and look forward to the experiment with "free after 3:00." But the process is invaluable to us all and any time it is violated we are all demean ; Kaye Ferry,President Board of Directors CC: Bob Mc Laurin, Pam Brandmeyer, jact:`:C_urtin,Jbe Staufer . , . 0 To: Vail Town Council From: Suzanne Silverthorn Subject: 1997 TOV Community rvey Date: March 14, 1997 Attached is a draft of the 1997 TOV Community Survey. Our goal this year is to try to improve the response rate from 15 percent to 20 percent. As a result, the length of the survey has been trimmed from 50 questions to approximately 30. The survey also will be set up in a scanable • foi7nat to help expedite returns and tabulation. In addition to our budget-related satisfaction and responsiveness ratings, the survey will probe: 0 commerce/parking issues raised by the Village merchants and property owners 0 loading and delivery 0 sense of community 0 citizen participation As in the past, the survey will be distributed to both local residents and second homeowners. Distribution will occur March 30 through April 4. _ Please take a moment to review the survey. If you have additional thoughts or suggestions, please contact me at 479-2115 on or before Tuesday, March 18.

Dear pominic: Received your letter to-day concerning my citizen participation at the March 4th council meeting. I'm not sure why this response was necessary? I never filed a complaint nor did I ask you to look into this. Nor did I ask Council to look into this. You called me after the meeting to inquire if I was referring to the Larson file and I told you yes. For you to react this way and copy to other staffand council members leads me to believe that 1) you took my comments personally and read more into what I said than was said 2) I hit on a truth or 3) you just wanted to discredit what I said for whatever reason. Now that you have made a private conversation public I will also use this opportunity to express my point of view to Town Council. I will restate my comments, from the meeting again: I never mentioned that a person was given any sort of special treatment. I was very careful NOT to mention any names in my example of equality in the system or "process" for the following reasons: 1) I do not go to meetings without checking my facts first. Charlie Davis and Dirk (don't remember his last name) went out of their way to go through the Grey file, with me, and we all concurred that seeing the DRB application had been marked as NO on the GSA question and that there was no geological study in the file that the study had been overlooked by the Planner/staff. That is an assumption-not a fact. I did not go through that file with the intent of finding something on Har .ry Grey. I went through the file because I wanted to see want a geological study entailed and also if Harry had applied for a variance: He lives in the same hazard area so I knew a geological study would be there. Charlie assured me all items to do with his case would be in the file. Perhaps you could have followed Susan Connelly's example of to-day. I told her l didn't like the tone of the letter and she took the time to research a little further for me. Would it have been so difficult for you to explain that the geological study was not in the file at the time Dirk, Charlie and I looked and that it had been misfiled in another place? A misfile is a human error-we all do it. Instead, you use this language of my implications being unfounded. That is totally unnecessary. I think if you had been there with Dirk, Charlie and me you would have assumed the same as what we did. I most certainly would never go to a meeting and state something as a fact when it is assumed. Charlie and Dirk are not at fault either just a human filing mistake. 2) I have better things to do than stir up any disputes on this cul-de-sac. It has been quite here, for some time, and that suites me fine. Imay be vocal and direct, to the point of being tactless (an Australian trait), but I am not stupid nor unreasonable and fighting is not one of my favorite pastimes. I will, however, stand up for myself and what I believe in. 3) Eric Larson expressed concern to me that he was having a confusing time working with Planning, so, seeing I am not only a neighbor but the Larson's are also customers of mine (I sold - them their house) I wanted to see for myself what was happening. I am not the type of real estate agent that gets paid a fee, sticks the money in my pocket and then abandons my customer/clients. - I am not the only person in Vail that has commented on the confusion of the whole process through DRB/Planning etc. And talk of confusion! I have never seen so much confusion as I did Monday night, at tf?e PEC meeting. If only someone had a video camera and had recorded the faces of staff members and commissioners, both, at the end of the evening! The reason I even bought this example up, at speak out, is because I sincerely believe that if the guidelines/rules can be reviewed and maybe modified, there will be equality for all. There has been a problem, for years, with different staff members giving their opposing opinions on the interpretation of the rules/guidelines. That is frustrating. It is my understanding, after talking to people in your department, that the confusion, stress and hostility that both the public and staff experience, when going through the "proc;ess" could be eliminated if the "process" was streamlined and less cumbersome for all. Part of the streamlining could be the elimination of GRFA? That is why I have been supporting it. I will admit when I have made a mistake and will be the first to apologize. However, I did quickly look through the Grey geological study, which you said "goes beyond what the code requires" and i found it very generic. Nothing like what Larson was requested to produce. So I still stand behind my statement that there should be equality for all, in the interpretation of the guidelir?es.

In 1994, we purchased a town home in Spruce Creek. The primary reason for buying this residence was the fact that it recently had procured its own bus stop. The first year the buses ran every 20 minutes, ran on time and the transportation was very convenient. The last two years, the buses have run every half hour, are over- crowded and due to a change in routing, misses connections so that we have to walk the last 1/3 mile on the frontage road in extremely heavy traffic. Due to the over-crowdinp, and tension, the bus drivers are typically uncommunicative, unconcerned and ignore our requests. When we can connect from the green bus to the red bus retuming to Vail via Spruce Creek, some bus drivers have ignored our request to communicate with the other bus driver. We have pulled up to the red bus when it is in front of us and it pulls away, leaving us to walk along the high traffic frontage road. The bus driver usually says, "Oh I thought he was going to wait". Why, or how is it, so difficult to ask them to wait? Last week, I asked the driver twice to request the red bus to wait. He felt it was unnecessary. The red bus pulled offand again we walked! Vail has a unique system where their (our) bus system is working. The primary concerns expressed in the local papers by the downtown merchants as far as the patronage, the residents and the visitors regarding parking congestion and pollution can be helped, if not cured, by a proper bus system. The buses rieed to go back to the 20 minute intervals. If you have to pay more to get yualified, concerned bus drivers, do. If it is necessary to run buses every 15 minutes during the morning and afternoon rush periods, this should be done to prevent increased parking problems, pollution and congestion. Other than skiing, if we have to get in the car, we will go down to the Valley for shopping, meals and entertainment. Vail is a wonderful place, but the bus system must become one of the top priorities. Sincerely, J7C7 J_~ Thomas D. & Amealia S. Oxley ,6+ic- We111W6.!/7 PR/VG6:1 / P.O.

(213) 427-8519 March 9, 1997 Chief of Police Town of Vail, Colorado 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Chief of Police, Rarely do I write a letter of commendation for the action of the police because frankly, in Los Angeles, the police rarely do anything to be commended for. However, in the case of Officer Brian Hoffman, I must write this letter to thank you for ha.ving such a considerate, thoughtful, and helpful young man on your stafF Officer Hoffman assisted three ladies in distress the week of 23 February 1997 when the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS) visited Vail. Frank]y, we were lost and needed assistance to our car. We were tired, cold and didn't think we could go another step. What made it ridiculous is my two companions exhibited no sense of direction so Iistening to them, I believe we would still be wandering the streets of Vail if Officer Hoffinan hadn't offered his assistance. True, his actions were not of monumental proportions but he exhibited the type of welcome truly appreciated by me and by over 7,500 NBS skiers. I venture most NBS visitors were from big cities where African-Americans are used to abusive treatment from the police. Officer Hoffman is a shining exception to the police I know in Los Angeles. I wish the LAPD would employ the Brain HofFinans. If they did, I could assure you we wouldn't have a"racial divide". Judging from Officer Hoffman, I imagine all of the Vail police are pretty cool. I also imagine there are African Amencans and other minorities on the force. If not, that's the only criticism I can make because the Officer Hoffmans are alkri~ t with me. ~ Donna J.

Moving the VRD Administrative offices to Ford Park which is now listed under prohibited uses of the Park. 2. Cost involved in moving the far east end tennis court. 3. New parking structure design at the Athletic Field which raises safety issues. R 6 DOBSON ARENA Issues important to Dobson, such as a second ice surface and other improvements, should become part of the Lionshead master plan with VRD in a leadership role in a steering committee. If everyone with an interest in the future of Lionshead would become involved, the educational process would not necessarily take such a long time. RED SANDSTONE Real Estate Transfer Tax funds are sometimes schedule for particular use far in . advance. It is not known if all of 1997 funds have been planned. It was suggested to proceed with plans for a new athletic field and make a proposal. VRD'S 3 YEAR PLAN VRD staff answered several questions the town council had. They would like a breakdown of the admuustration costs plus numbered pages for future issues. OTHER ISSLJES The question of the managemenduse of the fields at Berry Creek was brought up along with what the intent of all the parties involved is.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL I >ET1 NG PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that a special meeting of the Board of Directors of ]Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, Eagle County, Colorado, will be held on Thursday, the 27th day ofMarch,1997 at I:00 p.m_ at the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District at 846 Forest Road, Val, Colorado. At this meeting the Board will take up regular business of the District and any other matters as may come before the Board. This meeting is open to the public. EAGLE RIVER WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT By Is! PaWgk DmWh nais Secretary iscu~o3z7_wva /t-'-' c r March 22, 1997 Dear Council, I notice tha.t the interviews and appointments of inembers for DRB and PEC is scheduled for Tuesday. I regret it is happening before the Kelton Variance hearing because that hearing will point out several things that should be considered in appointments. In case, you have not been provided with the "addendum" to that appeal I will list a couple thoughts below. Do not appoint persons who have had applications for their personal property turned down. At least, make sure what their motives are in being appointed. It is clear that, on the current PEC, those individuals can not see beyond their personal issues. Do not appoint persons who are currently supportive of throwing out the regulations. They are sworn to uphold existing regulations. Again that conflict was obvious at the Kelton hearing. Use extreme caution when appointing persons to PEC whose living is based on square footage. Realtors generally, and some developers, seem to have that conflict. That conflict was very evident at the GRFA hearings. Not only did they support getting rid of - GRFA but they supported increased site coverage. Do not reappoint persons who have stated in public PEC meetings that they are "uncomfortable with the regulations". They do not understand they are members of a judicial board and are compromising the very laws they are sworn to uphold. Some architects are uncomfortable criticizing colleagues. The PEC minutes of February 11, item 3. are very revealing. I have been generally impressed with Greg Moffet's comments and feel he is the strongest member of PEC. (That does not mean I agree with all he says.) I have served with Bill Pierce and thought he was excellent. Make sure his interest now is not to change everything. Being on a board is not the forum for change. Please call if any of you have questions. Diana Donovan 476-3511 T A Robert Mdlain & Co.

Fundamental was his certainty that man as artist and nature as stone are spiritual counterparts. Critical recognition for Moroles came quickly with many of his early exhibitions at Texas museums. In 1981, Moroles moved his studio to Rockport, Texas, beginning his long term commitment to create a studio facility unequaled in the country for the making of large scaLe sculpture. The workings of the studio became a fami[y effort with the artist involving his par- ents, Jose' and Mary, his brother, Hilario, and his sister Susanna as integrat parts of the Moroles studio. In 1982 Moroles received the prestigious Awards in the Visual Arts fellowship for which his works were induded in a two year travel- ing museum exhibition which originated at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. During this period Moroles began making large scale works such as his 22 feet tall scutpture fountain for the Albuquerque Museum of Jesus eautista Moro(es fives Art, New Mexico. In 1985 Moroles received a National Endowment for the Arts Matching Grant for an environmental installation of 45 and works in 7exos. sculptural elements and fountains for the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Birmingham, Alabama. In 1987, Moroles completed his most visible work, "Lapstrake°, a 64 ton 22 feet tall sculpture for the E.F.Hutton, CBS Plaza in New York Born: 1950, Corpus Chnsti, Texas City tocated across the street from the Museum of Modern Art. During this time he received significant national attention with his inclu- sion in the landmark museum exhibition,"Contemporary Hispanic Art in the United States." Originating from the Museum of Fine Arts, JESUS BAUTISTA MOROLES Education: B.F.A., North Houston, the exhibition traveled to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Los Texas State University, Angetes County Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum. Denton, Texas 1978 Moroles' largest sing[e work is the 1991 site sculpture, the "Houston Police OfFicers Memorial." Comprised of a granite and earthen stepped pyramid surrounded by four equal inverted stepped pyramids excavated from the ground, the sculpture spans 120 feet by 120 feet. Expenence: Lived and Moroles established himself as one of the master sculptors of his generation with the recently completed (1996) "sculpture plaza" for worked in Pietrasanta, Italy. the the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum in Wichita, Kansas. In the tradition of his esthetic mentor, Isamu Noguchi, Moroles designed and sculpt- 1979-1980 ed from granite a"Granite Landscape" comprised of terraced slabs forming a stone riverway, a 30 feet long "Fountain Wall" and a 30 feet long "Granite Weaving" wall. Together, these works create a single environment that serves as an entrance to the museum and an outdoor site to exhibit important sculpture. To date Moro[es' work has been included in over 200 exhibitions nationwide. He has lectured extensively about his work and the issue of public sculpture. His work has been the subject of numerous artides and reviews in ARTNEWS, Arts, Artforum, Artspace, Artweek, Newsweek, and Time, and The New York Times as well as numerous books such as Amencan Art Now, Art in the Eighties, National Museum of American Art, and Contemporary Art in Texas. It is with great esteem that Robert McClain has actively represented the work of JesGs Bautista Moroles since 1982. Robert McClain & Co.
