The plan outlined below wmuld create only 6 time periods and would carrespond with the major use periods as identified on the "length of stay trends" graph that was provided by the staff (attached). The primary benefit is a simplified system that is easy for people to understand and targets groups of users that have similar motivations for using the structure. The proposal still preserves the 1 1/2 free hours but allows peop{e to enjoy the Villages for 3 hours for only $2.00. A more subtle reason is that individuals might feel more inclined to spend more time among the shops and restaurants if they didn't "feel" the parking meter ticking away and increasing their costs every hatf hour or every hour. Once they have resigned themselves to a block of time costing a certain amount they can relax and enjoy their visit. The other goals that we have identrfied include: 1. Locals can utilize the services and family / chifdren's program as they do now. 2. Valley wide residents are being invited back to town for up to 3 haurs for only $2.00 " 3. Skiers are being charged a reasonable price with the rates coinciding with day and full day skiers. 4. Keeps eamed runners off the street . 09/16/97 Memorandum 5. Employees and locals are not encourage to use the structures for full day use but are encouraged to come in to town to enjoy the businesses in town just like our visitors.

(PREVIEW OF STAGE 4-- HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN) LIONSHEAD 1ZEDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN ALTERNATIVE MASTER PLAN CONCEPT PRESENTATION Prepared and Presented By: Town of Vail Community Development Department DESIGNWORKSHOP NOTE . This outline is taken from the slide presentation used by the master plan team during its presentation. This document does not include any detailed information about the alternative master plan concept, although it does contain the framework of the proposals. This presentation and document is intended to communicate the big idea, the vision of what Lionshead can become, and is a work in progress, representing only the beginnings of what will grow into a physical master plan at the end of the master plan process. You are strongly encouraged to continue to participate as the master plan team works with the public to refine, change, and further develop the ideas contained here. i i - FRAMEWORK FOR MASTER PLANNING EFFORT 6 Policv Obj.ectives AdoDted by Council OBJECTIVE 1. Renewal and Redevelopment OBJECTIVE 2. Vitality and Amenities OBJECTIVE 3. Stronger Economic Base Through Increased "Live Beds" OBJECTIVE 4. Improved Access and Circulation OBJECTIVE 5. Improved Infrastructure OBJECTIVE 6. Creative Financing for Enhanced Private Profits and Public Revenues Urban Design PrinciDles: 1. Connect Lionshead physically and visually to the mountain landscape 2. Provide physical and emotional comforf for the users of Lionshead 3. Provide a sense of arrival to Lionshead 4. Create landmarks and turning points in Lionshead 5. Provide gates and portals to define sequential spaces and places 6. Define appropriate land uses adjacent to outdoor spaces WHAT IS A MASTERPLAN? • A Guide • A Flexible Framework for Future Action • Articulates Policies and Goals • Includes Narrative and Maps • Implemented through Zoning Code or Other Regulations/ Policies • NOT an Approval of Specific Development Proposals What is the role of Lionshead in the future of the Town of Vail, The Vail Valley, and the EntiYe I-70 Corridor? WHY WE ARE HERE • There are significant problems and issues confronting Lionshead today • There is significant redevelopment potential in Lionshead today • There is an urgent need to create a"redevelopment framework" - this framework is the Lionshead master plan • Lionshead is a vital component in the continuing status of Vail as a world class resort , . Lionshead Existing Problems and Issues • Public input- the best and worst of Lionshead, Lionshead walking tours and surveys • Stage I research and mapping • Existing transportation data gathering and analysis Primary Identified Problems • Circulation conflicts and confusing circulation patterns • Lack of vitality in public spaces and corridors • Aesthetic issues, both architectural and softscape • Lack of connection to the mountain and Gore creek LIONSHEAD HAS SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT NEEDS! Stage II- the Wishlist- Developed by the Public-in Stage II • Ideas that can be implemented today- no significant overall change to Lionshead required . _ • Ideas that impact specific sites and their surrounding context 9 Ideas that impact the entire Lionshead study area : - In Order to Meet the Policy Objectives and Address the Public's Wishlist...... What redevelopment can occur now, without any major changes to Lionshead? The "existing conditions" alternative Regulatory Constraints • GRFA- gross residential floor area • Site coverage • Building height What We Found.. • 71 % of the existing development in the Lionshead core exceeds the GRFA allocated by zoning • 84% of the existing development in the Lionshead core exceeds height allocated by zoning • Current Lionshead zoning was established after much of the area was developed Existing Conditions Alternative- What Can Occur? • Even assuming rezoning of parking lot parcels to Commercial Core II, very little additional development can occur • Available development rights are insufficient to fund realistic redevelopment and property enhancement • Stage I problem issues and the wishlist are not addressed by this alternative • POLICY OBJECTIVES ARE NOT MET! How Can Redevelopment Occur? • Provide incentives for redevelopment • Provide guidelines- a framework- for redevelopment • Insure that redevelopment accomplishes the adopted Lionshead policy objectives EXISTING CONDITIONS IN:.LIONSHEAD VILLAGE , ~ .

VEHICULAR GATEWAYS • Hierarchy of entry points along the south frontage road • Sense of arrival/ identity established at each portal into Lionshead • Consistent edge treatment along south frontage road PARKING OPPORTUNITIES • Development to provide own lodging parking • Add additional deck to existing Lionshead parking structure • New centralized parking facilities • Relocate charter bus lot outside of Lionshead study area SERVICE AND DELIVERY FACILITIES • Service and delivery operations shall be removed from public spaces and pedestrian circulation corridors • Many structures currently provide own service and delivery facilities • Opportunity areas exist for centralized service and delivery facilities PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION • Pedestrian Framework System • Create strong east-west corridor to deliver guests through entire Lionshead core • Create multiple north-south corridors to provide diverse village experiences as guests filter through the retail core • Create coherent, easy to navigate circulation patterns • Pedestrian Gateways • Create strong sense of entry and identity at primary portals to Lionshead study area and the commercial/ retail core area • Corridors and Public Gathering Spaces • Create hierarchy of pedestrian corridors and gathering spaces • Create a strong series of north-south corridors • North- south corridors focus views toward the mountain and increase sun exposure onto the streets • Create expanded and enhanced street level retail environment • Critical retail use assignments adjacent to public gathering spaces VAIL RETAIL MARKET STUDY • People have less time to shop and are increasingly looking to vacations to catch up on their shopping needs • Even in resort communities, local patronage is important to financial stability and long term success • The most successful retail businesses benefit from a community with charm, appeal, history, culture and identity • The architectural style, design of public spaces, tenant mix, visual access, and building scale all contribute to a pleasant sense of place and, therefore, retail success • A village center is important in increasing the sense of community and a place which meets visitor's expectations • A clear pedestrian connection that is easy, interesting and well-signed should be created between Lionshead and the Vail Village • The connection of Lionshead to Vail Village would create the critical mass which leads to success for all. The more square feet of appealing retail, the better! . Lionshead is not an island unto itself, nor is the Yail Village. As Lionshead Village grows, so grows Yail...

The Committee is presenting the proposed formation of the Housing Trust Fund to the Eagle County Commissioners on September 22, 1997 at 11:00 a.m. The Committee will be asking the Commissioners whether Eagle County would like the Housing Trust Fund formed as a County entity and funded initially/in part by money from the County. In the event the Commissioners are not interested in forming the HTF as a County entity, the HTF will be formed as a private nonprofit. The first tasks will be to obtain donations from the private sector for the costs of forming the organization and start up expense. The Committee is presently soliciting contributors and all members of the EVLC are urged to assist in this task. At least $20,000.00 should be raised to both cover organizational expense but also in order to make the entity immediately viable and to command further public and private contributions by identifying the voluntary contributors and requesting matching funds. The HTF will not only initially undertake the task of forming a funding source for affordable housing but also to work and do community research to identify developers, parcel and project concepts that can be built in the affordable range. ~ Commissioner_Johnson_has stated that there are 5600 approvecT PUD's and that further approval of additional PUD's should cease during a period necessary to increase the infrastructure in the county to accommodate further growth. The HTF could do the research to identify the 5600 PUD and determine how many in fact are in the affordable range and/or to determine what infrastructure must occur in balance with the needed housing. The research task would be done in order to provide the HTF caith a task to do during the time it is collecting and soliciting funds and forming a board of directors. All. members of EVLC and community leaders are asked to attend the session with the Commissioners and expressed your support for the Housing Trust Fund. _i: : , . . . ~ v., ~ c imbin 'un' 4 . uf.~s , :.f:. f ishes ~ makes a on sitting neat to yau uital waiting room se° an FBI agent, don't' ie posvibility that what you get. carrying a rod and s reft on a fishin8 ea Pedi-.

A large group of volunteers planted 100 trees--some of which had 300 pound root-balls--in three hours and forty-five minutes. Not a bad morning's work! We would like to offer a special thanks to a number of entities and people, without whom, Trees for Vail could never have had success this year--or in other . years. First, Trees for Vail would like to thank every volunteer, the crew from TOV Public works, and the ancillary helpers for your hard work and dedication. You are the reason Trees for Vail continues to have successful plantings each year. Second, we would like to thank the Town of Vail for its continuing and significant support. You have served the citizens of Vail in a manner and to an extent which may well be unique it society today. We would next like to thank the following: Upper Eagle Valley Water District. Your generosity providing water and a system to deliver it at our planting site, means that the trees which we have planted will live. Rollie Kjesbo and Nedbo Construction. Without your backhoe, we would still be digging holes. Vail Associates. You provided and delivered delicious lunches for the volunteers. Your continuing support for the tree planting effort is one of the reasons we are able to plant 70-100 trees each year. City Market, Safeway, Craig's Market and VIP liquors. You joined to provide coffee, donuts, bagels and soda for the volunteers and staff. BFI: You provided a relief for the. products which other contributors provided. The Vail Daily. You reported our efforts on the entire front page of your newspaper, Sunday September 14th, and you wrote great articles leading up to the planting, to help us obtain a sufficient number of volunteers. Tony Bryan and Eve Nott. You were key organizers and liasons with the neighborhood where the trees were planted. Vail Mountain School. Use of your parking lot made it easy to stage the event. High Country T-Shirts. You provided Trees for Vail T-Shirts at a price which allowed Trees for Vail, a non profit, to stay solvent. Suzanne Silverthorn and Elizabeth Nlollica. You provided new ideas and graphics for the planting effort this year, which made the board's work easier and more effective. i I + Finally, thanks to the citizens of Vail for your continuing support and encouragement. You're great. Mike Mollica, Todd Oppenheimer, Jeff Bowen and Jonathan Staufer Directors, Trees for Vail, Inc. ~ -'Tim ~.-YD1 @brlr Sns4113111. SmfteLer 74_ 199, ' SUNDAY gn.14,,BU ."nm.

Both parties were conclusive in acknowledging that although they are a thousand miles a part, they are intimately tied to each other through common interests, issues and problems. --1998 Capital Projects & Sales Tax Projections The Council reviewed a list of the proposed capital projects for 1998 which includes a$300,000 set-aside for locals housing in place of heating Slifer Plaza. Also, the Council agreed with a recommendation by Steve Thompson, finance director, to increase the 1998 sales tax collection projection to 3.5 percent, up from 2.5 percent. The recommendation is based on an analysis by _ Thompson which shows an average sales tax growth of over 4 percent per year over the last seven years. The analysis also shows flattening growth trends in the town's largest sectors: Vail Village, retail and winter. For a copy of the analysis, contact the Community Information O.ffice ~ at 479-2115. --Contribution Requests The Council approved the following contribution requests for the 1988 budget in the categories of cultural, economic, educational, health and human services and recreation: Colorado Ski Museum, 120 parking debits; Bravo! Colorado, $28,500; Chamber of Commerce, $6,000; Vail Associates cloud seeding, $3,000; Vail Mountain Rescue, $2,000; Vail Valley Foundation, $72,500; Learning Tree, $500; Turn it Up Vail, $5,000; Minturn Volunteer Firefighters Assn., 60 parking debits; Jimmie Heuga Center, 70 parking debits; Rotary Club, blue parking pass; and Ski Club Vail, 4 days of ice time. Contractual arrangements also were approved for the following: Vail Valley Community Television, $45,000; regional bus contribution (amount to be determined); Vail Valley Foundation, $112,000; and the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, $428,500. In addition, the Council approved a contribution of $10,000 to the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation to be placed in escrow. During discussion, Councilmembers spent the bulk of their time debating the Vail Associates cloud seeding request and the future status of the Vail Valley Marketing Board. As for cloud seeding, it took more than four tries to break a 3-3 deadlock to approve a motion to contribute $3,000 to the $100,000-plus program, with Councilmembers (more) C4V*• RECYCLEDPAPER ~ i ~ ; t,- ~ Council Highlights/Add 1 i Johnston and Armour favoring a higher contribution, while Councilmembers Navas, Ford and Foley favored zero funding. As for the Marketing Board funding--which is yet to be decided by the town for 1998-- Councilmembers heard a request from Kaye Ferry of the Vail Village Merchants Association requesting that a portion of the $300,000-plus business license fee revenues be withheld from the Marketing Board and instead used for Vail-based ipromotions proposed in a letter to Council by the Village Merchants Association. ~ During discussion, Ferry said the group was simply returning to the Council after! being told a year ago the issue would be reconsidered along with a directive to the Vail Valley Marketing Board to find a permanent funding source. While Councilmembers Armour and Navas indicated positive movement by the Vail Valley Marketing Board, Councilman Rob Ford said he'd had a change of heart and was willing to consider shifting a portion of the business license fees as the Village Merchants have requested. After hearing additional discussion from the audience, pro and con, the matter was scheduled for additional discussion at the Oct. 7 work session. For a copy of Kaye Ferry's letter, please contact the Community Information Office at 479-2115. --Discussion of Ordinance No. 17 ~ In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council heard an overview of an ordinance that will allow parking fines to be increased in Vail Village and Lionshead. Please see evening meeting briefs for details. ; ~ --Schedule for the Locals Housing Strategic Plan I Andy Knudtsen, senior housing policy planner, provided an outline of a process to review and adopt a locals housing strategic plan. The schedule, as approved yesterday by the Council, includes a work session with the Council on Sept. 23 to review and approve overarching objectives; work sessions and review by the Planning Environmental Commission in October; and final adoption by the Council in November. The plan will serve three objectives, Knudtsen said: 1) to identify the multiple resources available within the community and how they can be combined in ways that will be effective; 2) to provide a framework for decision-making, which can be used by developers, community members and elected officials; and 3) to establish a set of tools to use for implementation. I --Information Update . ~ Tom Moorhead, town attorney, provided an update on fhe Booth Falls rock fall mitigation project. He said a joint work session between the Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission would be scheduled Oct. 7 to review the proposed design to allow construction to proceed as quickly as possible. I In response to a question posed by Pam Brandmeyer, assistant town manager, the Council agreed to hear appeals of Planning and Environmental Commission decisions atlafternoon work sessions rather than the evening meetings to increase staff efficiencies. ~ Greg Morrison, police chief, presented an update on the status of Vail's animal control services, currently provided by Eagle County. The $26,000 contract provides for 600 patrols in Vail each year; however, records show only 75 patrols have occurred in Vail, thus far. Mo rrison said the county will consider providing Vail with a rebate because of the lower-than-agreed-upon service levels. Meanwhile, Morrison said the county is interested in returning animal control services to the town. However, Morrison said the transition may prove to be difficult for 1998. He suggested the transition take place in 1999 if the town decides to provide the service internally. For more information, contact Morrison at 479-2209. ~ ~ (more) ~ ~ I I i ~ i ~ Council Highlights/Add 2 --Council Reports Council members reported on their recent participation at Trees for Vail, the skate park opening, the pine beetle meeting and a Lionshead redevelopment meeting. --Other Councilman Kevin Foley inquired about an information request he'd made regarding approval of an awning at Singletrack Sports. Foley also inquired about the opening of the daycare center at Vail Commons. - Evening Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Navas --Citizen Participation . Eileen Connors, a local environmental activist, appeared before the Council and complained that her viewpoint regarding environmental deficiencies have been censured by the community. A letter outlining her complaints has been distributed to the Vail Town Council and is available for public distribution. For a copy of the letter, contact the Community Information Office at 479- 2115. --Overview of Vail Youth Award Recipients The Council heard from Chad Sewell, a senior at Battle Mountain High School, and Alissa Ferri, a senior at Vail Mountain School, regarding their recent student exchange experiences in Mt. Buller, Australia. Both said the trip was rewarding and that life-long friendships were made. --Public Parking Hearing As the parking proposal for the 1997-98 season begins to take shape, Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, presented an overview of the possibilities. They include: retention of the 90 minute free parking program; a reduction of the cost to park from 90 minutes to 2 hours (from $3 to $2); an increase in hourly parking rates beginning at the 2 hour mark; retention of the Park Free After Three program (kicking in at 4:30 following the first free 90 minutes); continuation of the gold card, blue pass and debit cards; retention of Ford Park as a"free" lot; - and use of the soccer field lot as a valet parking lot. In addition to asking for more revenue . forecasts based on a series of parking rate scenarios, several Councilmembers said they were intrigued by a flat rate proposal offered by Stan Cope, a member of the TOV-VA Community Task Force. Cope has proposed a fee of $2 for up to 3 hours; $5 for 3 to 5 hours; $8 for 5 to 7 hours; $11 for 8 to 11 hours; and $14 for 11 or more hours. During citizen discussion, Ron Riley, a Vail businessman, said he was especially supportive of helping to make a valet parking program work successfully in Vail. He also advocated giving a$1 summer parking rate a try and insisted the town create measurements to monitor the success of the Free After 3 program. Also yesterday, Joe Macy of Vail Associates, expressed apprehension about using the soccer field lot for valet parking. He said the lot, traditionally used by employees, would be hard to replace elsewhere. The Council will be asked to finalize a program at its Sept. 23 work session. For a copy of the information packet, call 479-2115. --Ordinance No. 17, Parking Violations The Council voted 5-0 to approve an ordinance on first reading that creates a two-tiered system for parking violations. The ordinance enables parking fines higher than $16 to be levied by those who are ticketed within Vail Village and the Lionshead commercial core areas. Also, the ordinance allows for stiffer fines for those who obstruct the removal of snow on town streets and authorizes the police chief and/or town manager to declare an emergency to allow parking on designated streets that are otherwise prohibited (such as the Frontage Road when (more) i ~ r , Council Highlights/Add 3 the parking structures are full). For more information, contact Tom Moorhead, town attorney, at 479-2107. , --Ordinance No. 16, Charter Amendment Election The Council voted 5-0 -on second reading to authorize the placement of two char,ter election questions on the Nov. 18 Town of Vail municipal election ballot. The first would amend the charter to change Vail's regular municipal election date from the third Tuesday in November during odd numbered years to the first Tuesday in November during odd numbered years. The change would coincide with Eagle County coordinated elections. The second issue would allow , the use of certified mail in place of registered mail for notification as outlined in the charter. ' Citizens will have an opportunity to submit comments, pro and con, regarding the two charter questions by Oct. 3. The comments will then be mailed to registered voters prion to the election. For details, contact Lori Aker, acting town clerk, at 479-2136. --Driveway Grade Variance Appeal ' The Council voted 5-0 to uphold a decision by the Planning and Environmental Commission to deny a driveway grade variance request for a residence currently under construction at 2840 Basingdale in the Intermountain neighborhood.

If servir..e i.s ,poor, touris.t;s will tend t.o go elsewhere, a.nd tha.t problem is solved, although not to our liking. But rlo we want to subsidize tourists? Alterna.tively, loca.l service providers might pay better wages; so thei.r employees could afford to pay more for thei.r local housing, which would thus elimina,te the problem. This, of course, might we11 ca.use servi.ce prices to rise. But at least that would solve the poor servire problem. Aga.i.n, higher prices might wel] cause some tourists to go elsewhere, lea,ving us with only those tourists who are willing to pa,y the h i gher pr i ces t;hat good servi r..e demands, Al though thi s might be a. mixed Ulessing, i.t also might not be the worst of all options.

The general consensus of both boards was to explore the potential for joint land use glanning on the properties. The board members felt that there were several tangible benefits to a joint land use scenario, such as freeing up additional lands for both entities through the shared use of recreational fields and the potential for placing uses in more appropriate locations. As a result of the consensus reached at that meeting we have, in conjunction with the land planning representative for the school district, developed three conceptual alternatives that address the joint use of the two properties. In the development of these alternatives we have included all of the program uses listed by the respective boards. Those uses aze listed as follows: School District High School Middle School (existing) Elementary School Staff I3ousing Alternative uses, which may include: Charter School Administration Building Bus Maintenance/Parking Facility Early Learning Programs Secondary/Continuing Education ECRA Equestrian Center (existing) Recreation Fields Open Space Housing 108 South Frontage Road West • Suite 204 • Vail, Colorado 81657 •(970) 476-7154 • Fa,x (970) 476-5143 . , The following design assumptions were made to accommodate the programmed uses and specific desires expressed by boazd members: • Maintain a large contiguous acreage for recreation and park uses. • Equestrian Center remains in current location and is adjacent to lazge recreation azea so the land may remain in pasture until recreation uses occur. • Miller Ranch parcels 4 and 5(east end) remain as open space. The subsequent pazagraphs present a brief summary of each alternative: ALTERNATIVE #1 Key Features • high school separate from middle and elementary schools • high school location at entry of site rrLnimizes traffic to interior of the site • two housing areas allow for different types of product to be built and disperses housing into smaller sites • shared recreation facility opportunity at each end of the recreation parcel • 47 acre recreation parcel Loss of land on Fifth Filing -20 acre high school -7 acre altemative use -27 acres Gain of land on Miller Ranch +42.5 acre open space +6 acre recreation area +48.5 acres ALTERNATIVE #2 Key Features • high school separate from middle and elementary schools • high school location at entry of site minimizes traffic to interior of the site • shared facility opportunity with high school fields adjacent to recreation parcel • joint housing pazcel allows efficiency of scale and minimizes visibility from adjacent properties but combines housing in one location • consistent with sketch plan approval • 41 acre recreation pazcel Loss of land on Fifth Filing -22 acre high school -22 acres Gain of land on Miller Ranch +42.5 acre open space +42.5 acres ALTERNATbVE #3 Kev Features • all three schools grouped in campus format • two housing areas allow for different types of product to be built and disperses housing into smaller sites • football stadium tucked up against hillside minimizes visibility from adjacent properties north of I-70 • 47 acre recreation pazcel Loss of land on Fifth Filing -15 acres housing -6.5 acres alternative use -7 acre football stadium -28.5 acres Gain of land on Miller Ranch +42.5 acre open space +42.5 acres As representatives of the Eagle County Recreation Authority we would recommend Alternative 2 as the preferred plan. Although the Recreation Authority would be giving up 22 acres of prime real estate at the entrance to the Berry Creek Fifth Filing the high school represents some positive opportunities for shared use of facilities. Approximately half of the 22 acres would be used for recreation fields and parking, some of which could be utilized by the public during non school hours. These uses are an appropriate neighbor to, and in effect extend the size of, the large recreation parcel that adjoins the school location. The school district would dedicate over 42 acres as open space along the Eagle River at the east end of the Miller Ranch property. These two open space pazcels are currently bisected by the existing railroad tracks. These pazcels could be maintained in a natural condition and become a very attractive and accessible riverfront open space if the railroad corridor enters a rails to trails program and is converted to a bicycle path. Also, if the path could, at a future time, be relocated to either edge of the property this azea would be able to accomodate recreational fields. Alternative 2 also eliminates the uncertainty associated with the future use of the Alternative Use parcels programmed by the school district by holding these uses off of the Berry Creek Fifth Filing property. ~ AITERNATIVE 1 Berry Creek 5th Filing/ Miller Ranch s ~N8~d6 SePlertber9.1991 . . ~ ~ _ C ~ ~ .

This plan entails the school district utilizing 14 acres at the east end of the Berry Creek Fifth Filing for recreational field uses. These fields would be controlled by the school district, but made available for public use. In exchange, the school district would dedicate the eastern river front portion of the Miller Ranch (approximately 23 acres) as open space. This proposal became the catalyst for the ongoing discussions of shared facilities and the jomt land use planning alternatives. It remains a viable option if the Recreation Authonty and the School District decide not to participate in a more involved joint planning alternative. Please feel free to call our office at 476-7154 before October 1 st, or 949-8102 there after if you have any questions on this information or on the previously circulated joint planning alternatives. 108 South Frontage Road West • Suile 204 • Vail, Colorado 81657 •(970) 476-7154 • Fa,x (970) 476-5143 l t_ ~ ~ i- ~ / i ~ ~ - 4 ' - - - V . ` - - ,I - i ' RC~rY/~"frowl/ ..L-- J I ~ i RE~RC^»o~l/ w _ - hr[N N pr S RO . , . ~ RCo~zt~~oN/ , Af44CA'TrorV CA ; I il4 AcialS y ; ~ j / Sl x - - : ~ R~~`~"s?Ar`'----.••,7 EA6U VNCLEY s.s ^ws E-CG/ONAG PAR,K - owW~c+S, c.a,o~a~oo ' ~ ~1E AbL~' R ~ R'~'~~.. ~ ~'l fY~NNt~La • fAOO-MT .MAnNrbwfrvr I ~ I i kk ^ ~ NaerM ~1 ` RMSiro: Mr. t~ ~+1!

If you are in town; we hope you will join us ~ to celebrate the event. Advisory Board members and Friends of Betty Ford, have urged us to begin the new garden next spring. President Ford, sounded the call to action at a gathering of Friends at the home of Nancy and Ted Reynolds in Beaver Creek. He asked why we couldn't start the garden this fall. A very generous gift of $50,000 in response to his appeal has. given us that start. As can be expected, significant funding over the next year will lie necessary to complete the_project. , - ' The Alpine Rock Garden will feature native plants of the Rocky Mountairis as well as plants ~ from other,alpine regions of the world. The garden will recreate alpine environinents and plant , communities in felfields, ravines, bogs, and aspen groves. -Rock cliffs, a rugged canyon and rush- ing water will provide dramatic backdrops for the alpine and,subalpine plant.collection.

Johnson Eagle County She:iff Post Ofnce Bo.c 359 . Lagie, CO 81631 Dear A.J.: ' , P.s you are aware, since the CSP EaQ?e Dispatch has announced it will be closing its Eagle Dispatch Ceater no late: than 3uiy 1, 1998, the Town of Vail has been working with the affected ' Wesiern Eagle Counry agencies to develop a prooosal for providing communication services. ; Ls:n; call voh:mes ?eae:ated'oy the affected agencies, we have finalized the actual user fees ' which would be assessed for each of :he agencies. These fees aze set forth on page 2 of this lene:. ' The onainal fVe structure in ou: lette: of May 14, 1997, was based on all agencies, includina the ; Colorado S`ate Patrol ~a.gle Troop), contracting with the Town of Vail for communication sery-ices. Since t~'iat time CSP Eagle Dispateh has de~ided to move its operation to Grand Jl:nction and continue dispatching for themselves uom that !ocation. The effect of this has been to increa,e the fees ror the remaining agencies. Since the Vail pubiic safer! communication center eurrently uses a minimal staffina plan we c:.nnot add any additional agencies, or radio console positions, without increasing our dispatcn stafr. Based on the ?caown volume or calls aenerated by all the Western Eagle County agencies, we will have to add one radio console position and staff that posiuon by addin, five additional dispatchers and one shift supervisor. You should be aware, if it becomes impossible for us to hire enough qualined pe:sonnel at our curent starting salary we will be required to increase salar.es to the point where these positions can be fiiled. In this case it will be necessar;r for each of the contracting agencies to fund these additional costs. Because paying for radio communication se:vices will be new to most of the Wester Eagle County public safety agencies, the Town of Vail has takea the most fair approach possible to min;n,;ze the financial impact each agency will feel in 1998. ~C~ RECYCLEDPAPER ~ Based on our cost aad the anticipated call voliune, the :ate sche3ule for 1998 is as follows.

Pursuant to the Town of Vail Code, these are prohibited signs. This Town of Vail provision is content neutral in that all signs not permanently affixed are prohibited. This would pertain to gazage sale signs and other signs as you describe in your correspondence to me. I believe that this regulation is appropriate because it is content neutral and does not favor one type of speech or message over • another. I believe it is fair to say that in general police action in regard to these signs is taken upon the receipt of a complaint. If you could provide me with the date and address that a Town of Vail policeman stopped by an open house, I would be able to provide additional information as to whether or not a complaint was registered in that particular instance. I would also be happy to review any authority from your Board attorney. This regulation is of course a Town of Vail ordinance that is subject to legislative revision or change by the Town Council.

Community Information Office VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR SEPTEMBER 23 Work Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Navas --Parking Discussion Councilmembers approved a parking program for the 1997-98 ski season that will retain the first 90 minutes of free parking; continue the "Park Free After 3" program (beginning at 4:30 after the first 90 minutes of free parking); reduce parking fees from $3 to $2 for those who park up to two hours; and maintain the gold, blue and debit card programs. Still to be determined is a staff proposal to provide privatized day skier and night time valet service for the upcoming ski season. As proposed, the Golden Peak public drop off area would be used for day valet service, while Check Point Charlie would be used for night service. The proposal also includes use of the soccer field parking lot as vehicle storage for daytime service and the Vail Village parking structure for nighttime service. During discussion, concerns were raised by Councilmembers and members of the audience regarding the appropriateness of the recommended drop-off and staging areas and the possible need to subsidize the evening operation. Councilmembers agreed to continue exploring the concept with private vendors. Also, a decision on a proposal to charge a$1 daily rate for summer parking was deferred until spring. For more information, contact Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, at 479-2173. -=Lionshead Redevelopment.Master Plan Stage 3 The Council heard a comprehensive presentation on alternative master plan concepts presented by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan team. Yesterday's meeting was the fourth of eight public meetings on the topic. The concepts under discussion include real estate - opportunity areas; public lands opportunity areas; public view corridors; connections to Gore Creek and the mountain; locals housing opportunities; far-reaching vehicular and pedestrian circulation improvements; vehicular gateways; parking opportunities; service and delivery facilities; and retail opportunities. In introducing the concepts, David Kenyon of Design Workshop, the project's lead consulting firm, said the firm's initial findings identified significant problems in Lionshead, including: circulation conflicts and confusing circulation patterns; lack of vitality in public spaces and corridors; aesthetic issues; and lack of connection to the mountain and Gore Creek. By addressing the problems, he said Lionshead has a unique opportunity to inject vitality back into the community and to achieve the other policy objectives adopted by the Town Council in November 1996. But current development rights aren't enough to achieve those desired results, he said. Rather, incentives--such as new lodging units, new retail or commercial space, increased site coverage or building height, where appropriate--may be necessary to provide the financial mechanisms to make it happen. Public reaction to the hour- long conceptual presentation included overwhelming support for a proposal to punch a transit line through the area, although several people suggested use of a quieter, alternative form of (more) L~~ RECYCLED PAPER ~ 4 Add 1/TOV Council Highlights transportation (as opposed to the current bus fleet). While many applauded the concepts as a bold vision for the 21 st century, reaction included a list of specific concerns and issues, including: increased height and density impacts; elimination of private view corridors; the impact . of higher rents on small business owners; the appropriateness of redevelopment incentives; rezoning implications; increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic impacts; the need for additional parking on the west end of Lionshead; the need to address loading and delivery on a _ communitywide scale; sun pocket impacts; and the equitable distribution of redevelopment _ incentives.. David Corbin of Vail Associates said he agreed with a comment made previously by Councilman. Rob Ford that the master plan will take a great deal of "political will" to provide the framework for significant changes in Lionshead. He said VA stands ready to begin sharing conceptual ideas with the community regarding redevelopment of its core site (which until now have been kept off the table, he said). The VA proposal calls for buildings of various sizes up to seVen stories tall. VA's redevelopment interests have served as a catalyst for creation of the Lionshead master plan. For additional details on the Lionshead Master Plan, contact Susan Connelly, project manager, at 479-2140. --Public Works Budget The Council heard a proposal from Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, to add 5.77 full time equivalent (FTE) positions to the 1998 budget at a cost of $163,000 to address service level demands in snow removal, janitorial and transportation services. Last year the department reduced its staff by 5 FTEs (7 townwide) in response to budget cuts. But due to better-than- expected sales tax growth, the Council is being asked to consider bringing back additional staff to beef-up town services. Specifically, the proposal would add three seasonal sumrner bus drivers who would also work as supervisors in the parking structures during the winter season; four additional employees to supplement park maintenance snow and trash removal; two full- time custodians to help maintain public facilities and the parking structures; and two seasonal heavy equipment operators who would help with snowplow and snow removal operations at the West Vail roundabout and the dead-end legs of the frontage roads. The Council agreed to add the adjustments to the proposed 1998 operating budget so that overall impacts can be reviewed at an upcoming budget session. Those impacts may include the need for additional equipment. The proposal presented yesterday also includes an adjustment in seasonal wages, Grafel said, which led to the following announcement: all 54 seasonal bus driver positions have been filled for the upcoming winter season.,.and there's a waiting list! Unlike last season when 12 to'15 bus driver positions remained unfilled, Grafel attributed the latest success to: an adjustment in hourly wages to $1.0.25 per hour; housing accommodations (10 beds have been filled as part of a master leasing agreement in partnership with the school district); and an additional bonus program for those who agree to work through the 99 championships. For more information, contact Grafel at 479-2173. --Betty Ford Alpine Garden Update As an information-only discussion, the Council heard an update from Helen Fritch of the Alpine Garden Foundation regarding plans to finish the final phase of the rock gardens next to the Ford Amphitheatre. The final phase would address the space north of the existing gardens and east of the children's playground on the lower bench of Ford Park. The Design Review Board will review the plans at its Oct. 1 meeting. Completion of the rock garden is tentatively scheduled for the summer of 1999. For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145 --Review of the Scope of the Locals Housing Strategic Plan Andy Knudtsen, senior housing policy planner, reviewed the scope of a locals housing strategic plan that is currently being drafted. Kundtsen said the plan will help define the role of town government and will ultimately provide a framework that will build upon past efforts to help make (more) ~ , Add 2/TOV Council Highlights future decision-making easier. The document will include the purpose and objectives of the plan; a historical track record; identification of need; available resources; problems and givens; policies and decision-making criteria; tools for implementation; and examples of potential developments. During discussion, Councilmembers asked that the document reflect previous affordable housing projects, such as Pitkin Creek, along with enforcement provisions to address employee housing unit (EHU) requirements. Next steps include a work session with the PEC on Oct. 13 and an update to the Council on the draft at its Oct. 14 work session. For more information, contact Kundtsen at 479-2440. --Information Update . At the request of the Eagle County Commissioners, Councilmembers scheduled a joint work session with the County on Oct. 28. Discussion topics will include the Berry Creek Fifth Filing, distribution of county sales taxes and the status of bus shelter approvals along Highway 6, among others. Pam Brandmeyer, assistant town manager, reported on efforts to facilitate construction of a berm to protect the Booth Falls Condominiums. A joint work session between the Council and members of the Planning and Environmental Commission is scheduled for Oct. 7 to help expedite a fall construction schedule. Brandmeyer said letters of notification have been sent to all homeowners within the condominium association. --Council Reports Paul Johnston asked fellow councilmembers to review a proposed sketch plan for the Berry Creek Fifth property in prepa"ration for an Oct. 2 meeting with the Eagle County Recreation Authority. Kevin Foley reported on difficulties experienced by the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority in obtaining county approval for construction of bus shelters along Highway 6. Foley, along with Rob Ford, reported on the recent Vail Recreation District meeting in which discussions focused on possible locations for a permanent skate park. Bob Armour reported on his atte,ndance at the recent Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition meeting and the Community Task Force rxieeting. He'll be representing Vail at a Colorado Association of Ski Towns meeting later this week. Also, Armour noted the success of Oktoberfest and ~ complemented the Lionshead Master plan team for its hard work. --Other Paul Johnston expressed concerns about the use of obscenities and reports of intimidation by some of the older users of the temporary skate park. Noting that it wasn't mentioned in last week's Council Highlights, Michael Jewett asked that a motion he made at the Sept. 16 evening meeting on parking be reflected in the official minutes of the meeting. Also yesterday, the Council, prompted by a request from Michael Jewett, asked for additional follow up work by town staff regarding the handling of complaints about campers and recreational vehicles parked in residential areas. In response to a question by Paul Johnston on the status of banning large trucks in the commercial core areas, Bob McLaurin, town manager, said the staff is working actively on the issue.
