MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION
C.C. TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: LIONSHEAD TEAM
DATE: October 13, 1997 RE: LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
STAGE THREE: SELECTION/CREATION OF
PREFERRED MASTER PLAN FRAMEWORK
The preferred master plan framework is the articulation of the vision for the future
of Lionshead. It serves as the "roadmap" for implementation of the six community
policy objectives adopted by the Town Council on November 4, 1996 to address the
problems and opportunities found in Lionshead. It also addresses the urban design
principles articulated in June 1996 what elements need to be added to Lionshead to
improve its look, feel and functioning and suggests locations and policies for
implementing "Wish List" items articulated by the community earlier in this five-stage
process.
• The master plan framework consists of three main areas and 14 elements:
A. The Land Use Framework:
1. Public View Corridors and Natural Environment Connections
2. Real Estate Opportunity Areas
• 3. Public Lands Opportunity Areas ,
4. Housing Opportunity Areas
B. The Circulation Framework: 1. The Pedestrian Circulation Framework/ the new "Main Street"
2. New Skier Drop-off Area and Regional Transit Stop
3. Modified Service and Lodge Access
4. Additional Opportunities for Parking
5. Re-alignment of the South Frontage Road
6. Improved Transit/ "People Delivery"
7. Improved Connection between Lionshead and Vail Village
C. The Urban Design: .
1. Pedestrian Gateways
2. Vehicular Gateways
3. Corridors, Intersections and Public Gathering Places
1
-
'
The purpose of today's discussion is two-fold:
(1) to enable the PEC to recommend approval on as many of the 14 framework elements
as possible, and
(2) to have the PEC articulate what additional information it feels is necessary in order for
the community and the Town Council to proceed comfortably with decisions on the
remaining framework elements. _
- While the legal notice of this meeting calls for final determinations, the Lionshead Team
suggests that the PEC take as much time as it deems necessary to identify and, at a future
meeting or meetings, review whatever information may be most helpful in reaching the
most useful recommendation to Council. Please review the attached memo to Council
proposing a modified schedule for completion of this Stage Three.
As a reminder, after the master plan framework is adopted at the conclusion of Stage
Three, it is in Stage Four of the master planning effort that specific details of
implementation of the framework elements will be drafted, reviewed and adopted by the
Town Council with input, from the community and a recommendation from the PEC as the
Master Plan document, itself. The specific details might include changes to the existing
zoning ordinance (substantive regulations and/or procedures for development approval),
design guidelines, and financial implementation options.
In Stage Five, actual code changes would be drafted, reviewed and acted upon by the
Town Council pursuant to a full public process including PEC recommendations.
Following adoption of whatever code modifications may result from this process, specitic
development proposals from the private or public sectors will be reviewed using the
substantive and procedural criteria set forth in the Master Plan and its implementing
ordinances.
TEA1Vf RECOMMENDATION: _
(1) Consider each of the 14 elements comprising the framework for the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan in the context of (a) the Community Yolicy Objectives, (b)
the Urban Design Principles, and (c) "Wish List" items addressed;
(2) Recommend approval on as many of the 14 framework elements as possible, and
(3) Articulate the PEC's reactions to depicted components of each element, pose
additional questions to be answered, and suggest appropriate alternatives to address the
problem and achieve the policy objectives, urban design principles and "Wish List" items.
The team would propose to return to the PEC at a future meeting or meetings with
additional information on those points for further consideration and recommendation by
the PEC at that time.

Figures 13-16 - TRANSIT FRAMEWORK - INTRODUCTION.
The configuration of the Town of Vail transit (bus) system through or around Lionshead is
the single most important planning component in setting the master plan framework.
Three options have been considered.
Figure 13- TRANSIT FRAMEWORK OPTION A- EXISTING CONDITION
Transit Scenario A is the existing transit scenario for Lionshead, which provides for transit stops on the east and west ends of Lionshead, with a by-pass around the Lionshead core
up and down East Lionshead Circle to the South Frontage Road and then down West
Lionshead Circle to Concert Hall Plaza.
The existing transit route alignment around Lionshead does not accomplish any of the
approved policy objectives or urban design guidelines, nor does it meet any of the
community's Wish List ideas.
Figure 14- TRANSIT FRAMEWORK OPTION B- MODIFIED EXISTING CONDITION
Transit Scenario B involves no direct change to the existing infrastructure in Lionshead,
but terminates the transit stops on the east and west sides of Lionshead instead of
connecting them via the South Frontage Road. This scenario avoids some of the problems
associated with turning movements on the South Frontage Road, as well as conflicts with
pedestrians exiting the Lionshead parking structure and crossing east Lionshead Circle,
but does not provide a continuous transit link between the east and west sides of
Lionshead. It does not accomplish any of the approved policy objectives, urban design
guidelines, or Wish List items.
18
Figure 15- TRANSIT FRAMEWORK OPTION C- CENTRAL SPINE
Transit Scenario C would create a transit connection through Lionshead, providing not
only east and west side stops but also the opportunity for a central transit stop in the heart
of Lionshead. This concept has the potential to activate and add vitality and visibility to
the Lionshead retail core.
Policy Objectives Served•
1. Renewal and Redevelopment
a. This transit option, which works in conjunction with the "Main Street" -
pedestrian concept, will require the redevelopment of several properties within
Lionshead, creating significant opportunities for property renewal and
enhancement

"Main Street," the opportunity will exist for an improved aesthetic character in
Lionshead, creation of a stronger sense of identity, and the creation of new
commercial/ retail components in Lionshead.
2. Vitality and Amenities
a. Through the creation of new retail/ commercial opportunities, the new "Main
Street" central spine will increase the vitality of the Lionshead commercial/
retail core.
b. The presence of a central spine transit route in Lionshead will deliver visitors
into the core of the Lionshead village, energizing the whole of the retail/
commercial core.
. 3. Improved Access and Circulation
a. This proposal fully addresses the identified existing transit circulation
problems, providing a low gradient, efficient transit connection through
Lionshead. It also removes the traffic congestion problems related to the
frontage road by-pass route that exists today.
4. Improved Infrastructure .
a. This proposal constitutes a significant public works project, and will potentially
- require the reworking and improvement of utility infrastructure through
Lionshead. Urban Design Principies Served•
1. Provide a sense of arrival to Lionshead.
a. This proposal will greatly increase the sense of arrival for the guest arriving by
transit
1. Create landmarks, turning points, gates and portals in Lionshead

Re: Redevel4pment Plan of Lionshead
Gentlemen and Ladies:
Recently, I received a letter from Jeffrey Wright, Vice President & General Manager of
Destination Resorts advisirig me of the Redevelopment Plan for Lionshead. I own a unit
in Vail 21. I thoroughly reviewed his letter and the drawings, articies and other information
that was provided to me. My feelings, as to what is presentiy being considered by the
Town of Vail, are complex in that I want Lionshead to be put on an equal footing with Vail
Village; however, what is presently in the works appears to be total!y in conflict with what
would be reasonable density in this area of Vail. Beaver Creek is an extremely successful
development. But in my opinion, it has been to4ally over-built. I do not want this to happen
in Lionshead. The increase in height to seven stories in Lionshead woulcl in effect mirror
most of the development in Beaver Creek. Five stories, in my opinion, is high enough for
Lionshead. With height comes density. Environmental concerns that have to be
addressed are those of pollution, water supply and waste disposal. The creation of this
central spine will result in further commercial traffic trirough the central area of Lionshead.
This traffic will lead to further pollution of the air unless electrified transportation is utilized
which, in my opinion, should immediately occur for the existing routes in Vail. Further, this
central spine will result in the taking of land and the destruction of improvement from
certain condominiums that presently exist. This will present many, many problems and
litigation could occur lasting years. As I stated.previously, Lionshead needs a diffErent
image; however, do the sacrifices and expenditures out-weigh the ultimate beautification
of Lionsliead.
Since ely,

October 3, 1997
Town Council
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657 . .
Dear Council Members:
As representatives of the owners of residential and commercial properties in the Landmark
building, we have followed the planning process for development of a new master plan for
the Lionshead area with a great deal of interest and concern. The initial policy objectives
adopted by the Counci( seemed to provide an excellent framework for rethinking the
present and future situation in Lionshead. The planners have done an excellent job of
identifying deficiencies and weal:nesses in the existing area, and many of their
recommended changes are worthwhile.
. We were disappointed, }iowever, at the conclusions they tiave reached and tlie final plan
they are proposing to the Town. At one of the recent public meetings, we raised a number
of questions about the plan, and specifically asked for estimates of construction and
implementation costs, loss of revenues during construction, advantages and disadvantages
of alternative plans, and dctvls regarding those alternativcs. These questions were not
answered, and we were forced to conclude tliat the planners liave arrived at t}ie `best
plaii', witiiout giving the community an opportunity to consider other schemes.
Specifically, we do not consider the `straight-throubh' transit plan to be either practicable
or necessary. Ttie impact of such a scheme on the Landmark is major, indeed; in addition
to losing the commercial portion of the buildinb, the plan would eliminate the swimming
pool, hot tubs, and deck which are used by owners and tenants of the residential units in
both the tower and the townhouses. No alternative replacement location, or costs, for
these facilities have been identified.
ln addition, we have expressed our concern repeatedly that the density of development in
Lionshead not be increased substantially. The seven-story buildings suggested by V.A. for
the area now occupied by the Sunbird Lodge and the Gondola Building are examples of
this higher density. We are concerned that such buildings will block views of the
mountain, reduce open space, increase traffic (both pedestrian and vehicular) into the core
area, place further stress on already insufficient parking space, increase noise levels, and
change the character of the entire village. The planners suggest that financing the plan will
require similar increased density throughout the village, with existing buildings being
rebuilt to a greater height, larger mass, occupying greater land area, with less parking and
less open space. Only through such 'redevelopment' can the project be financed,
according to the planners.

Town Council
Town of Vail

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Council Members:
As representatives of the owners of residential and commercial properties in the Landmark
building, we have followed the planning process for development of a new master plan for
the Lionshead area with a great deal of interest and concern. The initial policy objectives
adopted by the Council seemed to provide an excellent framework for rethinking the
present and future situation in Lionshead. The planners have done an excellent job of
identifying deficiencies and weaknesses in the existing azea, and many of their
recommended changes are worthwhile.
We were disappointed, however, at the conclusions they have reached and the final plan
they are proposing to the Town. At one of the recent public meetings, we raised a number
of questions about the plan, and specifically asked for estimates of construction and
implementation costs, loss of revenues during construction, advantages and disatlvantages
of alternative plans, and details regarding those alternatives. These questions were not
answered, and we were forced to conclude that the planners have arrived at the `best
plan', without giving the community an opportunity to consider other schemes.
Specifically, we do not consider the `straight-through' transit plan to be either practicable
or necessary. The impact of such a scheme on the Landmark is major, indeed; in addition
to losing the commercial portion of the building, the plan would eliminate the swimming
pool, hot tubs, and deck which are used by owners and tenants of the residentiai units in
both the tower and the townhouses. No alternative replacement location, or costs, for
these facilities have been identified.
In addition, we have expressed our concern repeatedly that the density of development in
Lionshead not be increased substantially. The seven-story buildings suggested by V.A. for
the area now occupied by the Sunbird Lodge and the Gondoia Building are examples of
this higher density. We are concerned that such buildings will block views of the
mountain, reduce open space, increase traffic (both pedestrian and vehicular) into the core
area, place further stress on already insufficient parking space, increase noise levels, and
change the character of the entire village. The planners suggest that financing the plan will
require similar increased density throughout the village, with existing buildings being
rebuilt to a greater height, larger mass, occupying geater land area, with less parking and
less open space. Only through such `redevelopment' can the project be financed,
according to the planners.
L LANDMARK - VAIL CONDOMINIUM ASSOC., INC. 610 WEST LIONSHEAD CIRCLE, VAIL, COLORADO 81657
We restate our opposition to this `high-density' concept, and urge the Council to seek
alternatives that aze more in keeping with the densities that now exist in Lionshead and
Vail Village. The `European models' cited by the planners as `ideal' don't appeal to us
here and we urge that they be rejected.
We remain supportive of the planning process, and hope that important elements of the
plan can be incorporated in alternatives which wi11 cost less, have less impact on existing
development, and not require redevelopment of the area to much higher densities. We
would be happy to meet with members of the Council or staff at an appropriate time to
discuss these concerns in more detail if you so desire.
Thank you for considering our comments.
Very truly yours,

ELECTED OFFICIALS, CONSTITUENTS ENCOURAGED TO GET TO KNOW
ONE ANOTHER AT OCT. 17 "COMMUNITY MIXER" IN VAIL
(Vail)--Elected officials and their Vail-area constituents are encouraged to take part in the first
of a series of quarterly "community mixers" beginning at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, at the Hubcap
Brewery & Kitchen in Vail. The gathering--the first of its kind--is sponsored by the Vail Tomorrow
Building Community Team and is one of 40 strategic actions endorsed by the community.
"As we talked about ways to strengthen the sense of community during our team discussions,
we kept coming back to several themes," said Suzanne Silverthorn, a team volunteer who also
serves as the town's community information officer. "The need for gathering places and
opportunities for community interaction was high on the list."
The "getting to know you" concept, which received Vail Tomorrow endorsement last April,
attempts to serve both needs, Silverthorn said. "It's a starting point and one we hope will be of
value to the community."
She said the focus on inviting elected officials to the gatherings resulted from the team's
interest in resurrecting informal gatherings from years past, such as the mayor's breakfast
meetings.
Anyone interested in attending.fhe Oct. 17 community mixer at the Hubcap is encouraged to
drop by between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
If you have questions about the event, or would like to volunteer to help with other Bui{ding
Community actions, including creation of a multi-purpose community center, contact Silverthorn
at 479-2115.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR OCTOBER 7
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
--Ten Year Anniversaries
Steve Thompson, finance director, and Judy Popeck, accounting technician in the Finance
Department, were each honored for 10 years of service to the town.
--Action Plan for Pine Beetle Problem in the Vail Valley
After hearing an update from US Forest Service representatives on the topic, the Council agreed
to send a letter to the chief of the US Forest Service encouraging support of a$450,000 funding
request that would be used to implement an action plan for forest lands in Eagle and Summit
County. During discussion yesterday, Dave VanNorman of the USFS said the local request was
competing with other funding requests from across the country, including a similar request to
address pine beetle infestation in the Southeast region. If approved, officials said yesterday the -
money would be used locally to treat 400 acres between now and next spring (all but 40 acres
are in Eagle County). Funding is currently available to deploy a crew of six, they said, and work
will begin immediately. High priority areas include: 16 private properties in Vail; 42 trees above
Stephen's Park in Intermountain; 16 trees at Trappers Run in West Vail; 200-plus trees at the
Valley, 200 trees above the water treatment plant; 15 trees near the East Vail water tank area;
pfus areas of infestation at the Gore Creek Campground, on Vail Mountain and at Meadow
Mountain. The action plan primarily involves the cutting of infected trees and, Fn many instances,
wrapping them with plastic to prevent the spread of the beetles. We're in year-two of a four-year
cycle, they said, with 98 percent of the area's lodgepole pine at risk, or about 44,000 acres.
Officials cautioned that not every area could be reached, due to cost and difficulty with
accessibility. Mayor Bob Armour described the situation as a forest fire without flames.
Requests were made by Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association and
representatives from the Valley Condominiums to increase attention given to the area above the
Vail Golf Course and to the east end of the valley area. It was suggested that community
volunteers be mobilized to help with the plastic wrapping. In response to a question from Sybill
Navas, Forest Service officials said property owners who are wishing to spray Forest Service
trees that lie adjacent to their property should contact the local USFS office for approval.
Consumer information, including a list of resources and general information about pine beetles,
is available by calling either Russell Forrest in the town's Community Development Department
at 479-2146, or Todd Oppenheimer, TOV park superintendent, at 479-2161. For those
interested in volunteering, contact Forrest at 479-2146.
--Review of Town Manager's Amendment to the 1998 Budget
During a review of the town manager's recommended budget for 1998, Councilmembers made
one modification before agreeing to advance the recommendation for first reading on Oct. 21:
(more)
C~ RECYCLEDPAPER
TOV Council Highlights/Add 1
that a proposal to eliminate the Police Department's High Country Task Force drug detective be
reinstated at a cost of $34,558. The position had been funded previously through a grant from the District Attorney's Office. With the grant now expired, Councilmembers agreed to fund the
position internally by transferring revenues previously earmarked for capital improvements.
Councilmembers said they wanted to send a strong message to the community regarding its
_ zero-tolerance stance on drugs. As presented, the proposed budget reflects an emphasis on -
the delivery of basic.services with the addition of 4.69 full time.equivalent positions. The -
positions fund additional bus drivers and additional personnel for snow removal, summer
landscaping and custodial services. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said that In 1997, seven full-
time positions were cut resulting in a negative impact on town service levels. In hindsight, he
says, tlie cuts were too deep. For 1998, service levels would be restored to their previous
levels, McLaurin said. Funding will come from an increase in the projected sales tax forecast
which has been budgeted at a 3.5 percent increase over 1997 collections, up from 2.5 percent.
The budget proposal also includes: revenues and expenditures to provide dispatch services for
all public safety agencies in western Eagle County; a four percent merit increase for full-time
employees; an upward adjustment in police officer salaries to compete with the front range
departments; funding for the Transportation Center snowmelt project; funding for design of the
Lionsridge Loop street reconstruction project; and $300,000 to fund the town's on-going locals
housing program. For a copy of the 1998 budget memo, contact Suzanne Silverthorn.
--RETT Discussion
Also in preparation for the 1998 budget, Councilmembers reviewed a list of proposed projects to
be funded by the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) fund. The list includes annual recreation
path maintenance; construction of another phase of the North Trail; trail kiosks and maps;
playground safety improvements; Ford Park improvements, including raising the height of the
Manor Vail Bridge to reduce the grade at each approach; open lands property acquisition; and a
comprehensive master plan for public facilities, parks and housing. During public discussion,
Diana Donovan of Vail suggested use of existing planning documents, such as the open lands
plan, to develop the master plan for public facilities, parks and housing (there are 177
undeveloped lots remaining in Vail). She also advised paying close attention to the desires of
each neighborhood regarding park facilities versus undeveloped open space. Donovan also
challenged the Council to use the capital improvement budget to target some of the projects
(rather than RETT), questioned what she described as the frequent repair and replacement of
playground equipment, suggested the Alpine Garden Foundation raise its own money to fund
some of the improvements at Ford Park and offered a conceptual idea for the development of
Donovan Park. Donovan said she supports using the park's middle bench for locals housing;
the upper bench for a small park with possible housing near exisiting residences; the lower
bench is tight, she says, and would be difficult for an activity-based use due to the lack of space
for parking. Councilmember Sybill Navas said she thought the budget was too heavily focused
on design and planning and would rather earmark funding towards the purchase of open space
or recreational uses. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowner's Association suggested
reserecting the Open Space Commission to begin a second phase of designated open space
protections. The RETT list will be forwarded for first reading as part of the 1998 budget. For a
copy of the project list, please contact Suzanne Silverthorn at 479-2115.
--Information Update
After reviewing a proposal from Deborah Warren, president of Mountain Valet, the Council
agreed to continue moving forward with a plan to experiment with a privatized skier and
merchant valet parking service for the upcoming ski season. As proposed, the valet parking
drop-off/pick-up area would be on Hanson Ranch Road in front of the Christiania Lodge. In

TOV Council Highlights/Add 2
addition to the valet parking service, Mountain Valet has agreed to assist with on-site traffic
management of the Hanson Ranch/Gore Creek Drive area to facilitate the operation. Vehicles
would be stored at the soccer field for the daytime operation with the understanding that
unauthorized vehicles would be towed. Vehicle storage for the evening valet proposal would be
in the Village parking structure. Hours of operation would be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. for
the skier valet service with an initial charge of $20 per day per vehicle: The evening program is
proposed to continue until 11 p.m. with a charge of $8 to $10 per vehicle. Mountain Valet has •
proposed to reserve the right to discontinue the evening service if demand is lacking and/or seek
_funding assistance from the Village businesses. During discussion, Diana Donovan suggested use of the Ford Park lot for vehicle storage rather than the soccer field. In response, Warren
said she had explored that option and determined the distance was too far. For more
information, contact Larry Grafel, .public works/transportation director, at 479-2173.
--Next, Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, presented a staging plan for the
installation of ski lockers in the basement of the Gasthof Gramshammer on Bridge Street.
Fencing will be used to narrow Bridge Street for two weeks during the construction.
Also, Grafel announced that a water district project to improve fire hydrant flows in the Village
begins. Monday. The work will cause the closure of Willow Road into Check Point Charlie for a
one week period. Traffic will be re-routed through Crossroads.
A joint meeting with the Eagle County Commissioners was rescheduled to Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. in
the Vail Town Council Chambers.
--Council Reports
Paul Johnston reported on a"breakthrough" meeting of the Eagle County Recreation Authority in
which the board agreed to a joint planning process for the Berry Creek Fifth property and the
adjoining Miller Ranch property which is owned by the Eagle County School District.
Bob Armour reported on his attendance at the World Alpine Ski Championships planning
meeting.

--Citizen Participation
Jeff Bowen, representing Trees for Vail, appeared before Council to thank the town for its
support over the past six years. This year's volunteer event involved the planting of 100 large
trees on public property in the Booth Falls neighborhood. Bowen said he was especially
appreciative of the efforts of TOV staffers Todd Oppenheimer and Mike Mollica.
Next, Carol Duddy, a local realtor in Vail, asked the Council to continue its discussions on GRFA
(gross residential floor area) reform by directing staff to continue the dialogue surrounding GRFA
modifications; this time, for new construction. Otherwise, she said problems with illegal space
will continue. In response, Mayor Armour indicated the Council had decided not to pursue the
matter for the time being.

TOV Council Highlights/Add 3
Julie Chapman, a resident of East Vail, asked for consideration of an additional late-night East
Vail bus route from the Village that would depart after 2:30 a.m. Chapman, who works until 2
a.m., said she's unable to catch the last bus out of the Village heading east, which departs at 2
a.m. Town Manager Bob McLaurin offered to research the cost to add another run.
Eileen Connors, an environmental activist, criticized the town for what she characterized as a
. lack of progress on a solid waste management plan. Connors also expressed criticism of the community's non-commitment to her calls for environmental improvements, including the
difficulties she's had in working with local media outlets to provide her with a platform to advance-
• her concerns. She also stated her frustration with the town for its support of Category 3.
Joe Staufer, a Vail Village businessman, offered support for a proposal by the Vail Village
Merchants Association to redirect a portion of the business license fees to be used for Vail-
specific projects (as opposed to regional marketing). Staufer, who said he's not opposed to
regional marketing (so long as it is equitable), suggested the Council state that it will match
whatever monies are raised downvalley for regional marketing next year as opposed to
supplying a higHer percentage of the budget. Staufer also expressed concern that a petition
supporting regional marketing had been initiated by the Vail Tomorrow project. He said the
effort may not necessarily reflect the community's mood on the topic.
--Consent Agenda
At the request of staff, second reading of Ordinance 17 on parking fees was pulled from the
agenda due to a reconsideration of the boundaries as stated in the current proposed ordinance
and will be heard at the Oct. 21 evening meeting.
--1999 World Alpine Ski Championships Planning Document
The Council voted 6-0 to approve on first reading an ordinance that creates a streamlined review
process to allow for town-related approvals of temporary signs, structures, street decor and
other temporary improvements for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships. In presenting the
ordinance for approval, Pam Brandmeyer, assistant town manager, said the measure will enable
latitucie and flexibility in the interpretation of town ordinances, but would not compromise health
or safety issues within the town. She said a similar ordinance was passed, prior to the .
championships in 1989 and was met with successful results. For more information, contact
BrandmeyeF at 479-2113. --Parking Pay-tn-Lieu Payments
The Council voted 4-2 (Johnston, Armour opposed) to table first reading of this ordinance until
the Oct. 21 meeting. The ordinance essentially codifies current operational procedures by
extending the period of time, from five years to up to 10 years, for payment of the parking pay-in-
lieu fees. However, the ordinance also requires that both personal and corporate guarantees as
well as deeds of trust be used to secure the loan; in the past, a promissory note was required.
During public discussion, Glen Heelan, a local developer, objected to the deed of trust provision,
saying it was too stringent and would discourage future redevelopment in Vail. In response, Rob
Ford and Sybill Navas said the provision was no different than what other lending institutions
require. The Council voted to table the issue to encourage additional community dialogue and to
seek additional clarification from the town attorney, who was absent from Tuesday's meeting.
--TCI Presentation
The Council heard a brief overview from Fred Lutz of TCI Cablevision regarding a proposal to
modify TCI's franchise agreement with the town. TCI now proposes to build its cable plant from
270 megahertz to 400 megahertz. The original agreement was to build out to 500 megahertz.
(more)

TOV Council Highlights/Add 4
The recommended change, Lutz said, is due to advances in technology which create greater
efficiencies in the quality of the cable product and in customer value. The changes, as
proposed, would create 10 additional analog channels similar to what is received now, plus
access to nearly 200 digital channels, he said. The current franchise calls for a complete build
out of the cable system with fiber optic cable (providing up to 78 analog channels) to be
completed by January 1998. During his presentation, Lutz stressed TCI's commitment in
developing an agreement with the Town Council that best serves the community. Also,
. yesterday, Lutz said a recent technical audit of the plant showed the need for replacement and
repair of various pieces of the plant's ?nfrastructure to minimize signal degradation.
Councilmembers asked for a list of the various channels that would be available as a result of
the proposed improvements along with a customer rate sheet. The Town Council has hired an
independent consulting firm to evaluate TCI's proposal. That evaluation will be presented at a
later fall meeting. For more information, contact Tom Moorhead, town attorney, at 479-2107.
--Town Manager's Report
In his town manager's report, Bob McLaurin said the West Vail roundabout construction
continues to make good progress. All roadwork is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 17.
McLaurin said the contractor may yet qualify for a bonus if the project is completely finished by
Nov. 1.

The Vail Town Council
75 S. Frontage Rd.
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Bob and members of the Council:
Attached please find a copy of a letter that I am sending today to Kaye Ferry, the president of the
Vail Village Merchants Association.
I have been a member of the group for over a year and have attended all the regular meetings. It
disturbs me that she has approached the Council, supposedly on behalf of the merchants association,
to ask for the return of $109,000 in tax funds to finance the projects of the merchants group.
First of all, I never recall discussing the details, or even the general concept, of this proposal as a
group. Had we done so I know that I and several other members would have objected strenuously.
It is our conviction that rebating those funds to local neighborhood groups would cripple and even-
tually destroy the good purpose that the Vail Valley Marketing Board was conceived to accomplish.
Secondly, much of the funding that Kaye would like to see returned to the local association is pro-
vided by the business license fees and sales taxes from lodges and restaurants. I am certain that the
lodges in Vail Village and Lionshead oppose this dilution and my conversations with restaurateurs
reveal no sympathy for this proposal.
The Town, through direct contribution to these programs, and the Marketing Board and the VVTCB
have made money and resources available to the merchants to support 'Iiirn-It-Up, the Chili Cook-
off, etc. I believe that these are worthwhile programs but that the current funding levels are appro-
praate for the pur. posP they servP. The bu'ik af the a.earke±:r.- do'1~r-., snou?d kei:zain anvested, in
cooperation with the surrounding communities, in the Valley-wide marketing effort conducted by
the Vail Valley Marketing Board. Any other alternative would be short-sighted and counter produc-
tive.
Thank you for your attention. '
Yours truly,
Pi n cle Resort e s

Ms. Kaye Ferry
The Daily Grind

Dear Kaye,
I have been reading accounts of your presentations on behalf of the Vail Village Merchants Associa-
tion to the Vail Town Council. Frankly, I am somewhat alarmed by your xepresentation of the con-
sensus of the group in regards to the distribution of marketing funds. Although I have attended all of
the regular monthly meetings of the VVMA I do not remember any discussion, much less a`rote,
about our stance in relation to tax funds allocated to the Vail Valley Marketing Board.
While I am strongly in favor of all the projects and programs that you have brought to the attention
of the council, I am absolutely not in favor of cleaving the funds available for the overall marketing
of the Vail Valley into small pieces for the benefit of many special interest projects. I cannot more
strongly object to feeding the individual trees at the expense of the forest.
I seem to remember that you recently objected to the use of your name, in print, for a cause that you
supported but did not specifically endorse. I would hope that you would display the same courtesy
that you expect when I object to your use of the membership of the Vail Village Merchants Associa-
tion in general to espouse your personal agenda. If this is the position of the Board of Directors it
certainly has not been conveyed to the membership.
I would point out to you that while the other resort areas of the state have suffered from the lack of
statewide funding over the last two years the Vail Valley has continued to see growth in revenues and
sales taxes during the summer months. I can only attribute this to the existence of a focused, ad-
equately funded Ynarketins effort on behalf of tl-ils area.
The programs and special events that you are seelzing assistance in funding are certainly worthwhile
and provide information and entertainment for our guests once they arrive. However, without the
initial concentrated marketing effort we might be cooking, publishing and parading to each other,
rather a low profit alternative.
While retail generates a signiflcant portion of the business license tax revenue that you are seeking
returned to the merchants association, lodging and restaurants together produce the majority of
those funds. I 6elieve I can speak for the lodges in the Village and Lionshead in stating that there is
no desire to divert the Vail Valley Marketing funds from their intended purpose. I also have not
heard any such request from the restaurant community.

Please, let us proceed to strengthen the year around business throughout the Vail Valley by combin-

each dollar contributed by each neighborhood.

TO: Members of the Vail Town Council
FROM: M. Ross Boyle, Ch alley Marketing Board
Since I must be out o to n a client assignment when you meet next week to consider
the request from the Vail Village Merchants Association to divert a portion of business li-
cense revenues from the Markering Board, I am submitting my thoughts on this issue by
letter. You will not be surprised to learn that I strongly oppose any diversion of these
funds, even though I support the initiatives proposed by the Merchants Association. Let me
tell you why.
1. The Vail Town Council spawned the Marketing Board in the late Eighties and in-
sisted that it take a regional approach to selling the Valley as a tourism destination.
It created the business license program as the backbone for funding this marketing
effort and has consistently supplemented this resource by making a general fund
investment in the program.
2. This combined Town of Vail investment has enabled the Marketing Board to gain
support from other investors (Beaver Creek Resort Company, Town of Avon, Vail
Associates, and more recently the Town of Minturn). The combined investment in
recent years has been close to $1 million annually.
3. At a time when the State of Colorado has eliminated its tourism marketing efforts,
we have been able to use these marketing funds to capture a larger share of a de-
clining level of visitor spending in Colorado in the non-ski months. As a result,
total visitor summer spending has continued to grow in the Vail Valley while other
mountain communities have suffered declining sales.
4. We estimate that Valley businesses realize more than $15 in sales revenues for
every dollar invested in this marketing program. Since hotels, restaurants, and
merchants in the Town of Vail pay for about two-thirds of Vail's total investment,
they actually realize more than $20 in sales for every dollar they pay in business li-
cense fees. The Town gets most of its general fund inveshnent back in the form of
increased sales tax revenues.
5. While some Vail merchants fear that they are paying more than their fair share of
the total marketing cost, sales statistics show that their return on investment is
equal to the overall Valley return.
6. Nonetheless, the Marketing Board supports the your view that a fairer and more
stable funding formula is needed to sustain this program over the long haul. We
have worked closely with the Tourism and Convention Bureau and the Chamber of
Commerce to develop a more rational structure and a better mechanism for funding
the programs of our three organizations. This effort has produced a strategy that
can be unplemented over the next year to the benefit of everyone. We need one
more year of support under the current formula to make that happen.
7. If the Town of Vail reduces its support now, it will provide an excuse to other in-
vestors ta reduce their support as well. The Marketing Board cannot conduct an ef-
fective marketing program with a reduced budget.
8. The activities proposed by the Village Merchants Association will contribute sig-
nificantly to this sub-market's capaciry to retain or expand its share of the total
Valley market for tourism spending. Other sub-markets are funding activities of
this kind through dues and other revenues, not by diverting regional marketing
dollars. Why should the Vail Village be different?
To recap, the Marketing Board's job is to bring more visitors and more visitor dollars into
the Vail Valley economy. Each communiry in the Valley must do all that it can to compete
effectively for these dollars. The flaw in the Village Merchants Association argument is that
their sales will decline if total visitor spending drops, even if they capture a larger share of
that smaller pot of money. It is not an "either-or" choice. We must continue to spend at
least as much as we have in the past to bring tourists here. In addition, the Town of Vail
and its merchants must invest in keeping their sub-markets competitive.
Almost three years ago, the Vail Town Council honored me by an appointment to the Vail
Valley Marketing Board and the members of that Board asked me to serve as their Chair. I
am proud of the contributions these volunteer Board members have made to keeping the
Valley economy strong and to creating more jobs for area residents. I look forward to one
more exciting year in which we continue to make our marketing message more effective
and work to create a fairer and more permanent structure and funding process for the fu-
ture.
At the same time, I must tell you that I am not anxious to preside over a second rate pro-
gram with an eroding support base. If the Vail Town Council does not believe that the
Marketing Board deserves your full continued support for the coming year, I may find it
necessary to terminate my, participation and give you the opportunity to name someone in
whom you have more confidence. I hope I will not have to face that decision because I
greatly value this opportunity to serve my community.

Dear Bruce:
Per our conversation today regarding your letter to me and
your letter to the Town Council, I feel it necessary to
respond on paper as well.
As I told you, Ium sorry that you didn't take the time to
confirm some informatioriwith me before writing your letter
or more importantly, sending one off to`the Town Council.
Regardless, I will again try to address the issues you raised
so that there will be no confusion as to the intent or repre-
sentation.
To begin with, the tone of your letter indicates that you
are of the impression that I and the Board of Directors
of the VVMA acted without the support of the membership
or discussion with the merchants. Quite to the contrary,
nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact.i
we had numerous discussions at a uariety of ineetings going
as far bach as 22 years ago when we first formed and use to -
meet on the grass down by the creek. In addition, we followed
up with a petition which was signed by over 200 individuals
representing a wide range of businesses in.both Vail Village
and Lionshead (see attached). With this accomplished, we then
made a very detailed prese tation to the TC which covered a
restructuring . of the BLF in erms of allocation, focus and
representation on the Marke ing Board. After several meetings,
the~C decided to leave the funds in place for another year
with a clear directive to he Marketing Board to come up with
a permanent funding source and.',to us to return in a year to
see what progress had been made.
That directive was what prompted us to return this year to
review the MB's progress and to then raise the question of
"what's changed?". and to ask "where do we go;"from here?".
Tt was simply a follow up to something that was already in
progress. For you to suggest that this intention was not

conveyed to the membership is elearly without foundation.
I am enclosing FYI a copy of the draft of objectives for
1997-1998 that was presented to the membership at the
March 12, 1997 meeting. This list was discussed and with no
objections was published by the Vail Daily on April 3, 1997.
This article is attached also. As you can see, number 3
clearly outlines our intention to "explore aqain" the BLF
issue.
I guess the question remains as to whether or not in your
mind we did enough to keep the merchants informed. While
I am sorry that you missed all of the meetings involved
and failed to see the newspaper coverage, there is no way
I can apologize for the procedure that we followed and the
attempts we made to keep everyone up to speed.
In any event, I hope this clears up any confusion you have
that I approached the TC "supposedly on behalf of the
Merchants Association" for there is no supposedly about it.
In fact, that is exactly what I did.
Thanks for your interest and we look forward to your future
attendance at monthly mee.tings. I also hope that the program
we instituted several months ago, whereby we are including a
recap of the previous month's meeting with the notice of the
current month's meeting, will help keep all the members
apprised of our discussions in thei.r:absence:

Dear Bob.
As a member of the community for morc than 20 years and a property manager in Vail for nine
years, I am writing to express nry dismay at wbat appears to mc to be a conflict-of-intcrest between tax
payer funded iniuatives and private business. 1 say this because I bave been contacted by a Mr. Bruce
Gxllie, acting on nsults of the Lodging Quality xnitiative, to takc over the mamgement of Scorpio
Condominiums, which Y havc manqged for the past ninc years.
As bcst i can ascerrain {Y did not reeeive any of the mnilings or copies ot the results}, a few of ilic
owners at Scorpio expressed dissadsfaction with their rental revenuc,s and ameniaes at the property, (My
conversations wiith owners have iedicated they are dissatisfieci with the NET rcvenues due to the exorbitaat
fees charged to thcm for naanagement).
Nir- Gillic, as I am siue you arc dw~~ue, manages rent;sls and propetties in Vail, G,illie is using
this information and/or his eontacts as a member of these oommictees, lo gpl;cit business for his own
personai benetit i declimed Mr. Cillie'S o$er to "buy out" my conUact or suboontract to me, eaplaining
that any of the issues raised by my owmers would bc addressed at the annual meetiu?g. I caltod Sasan
Connelly to obtain a oopy of the Lodging Quality JZCitiative so I wouid kaow what my Ownex-s had receivcd
and was shocked when she catled me back to teU me that i needed to call Bruec Gillie about the Lodgng
Quaiity Initiati-ve. Prior to leaming this, Itliought Mr. Cillie was mcrcly an aWessive businessman trying
to dium up more business - no problcm witb, that!
l lave atteuded as many of the VaiI Tomorrow conferences as possiblc:, so to be sure 1 wa3n't.
drawing a wrrong conclusion, I actended the Wednesday evening curderence in Septcmbcr to hear the
lodging committee presentation. Mr. Levine uiade the pir-sentabiou and 1 becamc more sure lhat soinething
is wzong with t1us. Thc neart day 1 cailed Mr. Levine to tetl him of my concerns and he infonmed me that he
is a partner of Iyc, Gillies! Ncxt on my list to cali was Frank ]ohnson, howcver, atter speaking to a few
membcrs ;m the conuuuniiy, I tl,ought it best to addtess tbuis to you as Mdyor. Mr, Levine said hc wvuld speak widi Mr_ Gillie vnd make sure hc seni me the bindcr infornution
and any responses to the J.odging Quialiry Initiative. I received tlie binder, but no Lqdging Quality
Initiativc respoases.
Obviously, iany concern is that M. Gillie is "volunteeriug" for boards nnd committees for the .
benefit of his personal biuiness. In addition, althouKh, Mr. Gillie managed tn fnd me to propose taking
over my job, no one ever copied me on tie infoimation being sent to the 30 owncrs in my building. As
wcll as the manager, I act in a"concierge" type capacity for my awqers, paiticularly when they wish to
xemodel or ha ve some work donc_ The resalting knowicxigc of the owners attd units, would makc inc a

been the driving force behind the building upgrddes over the past dccade that have takcn Scorpxo from a very dated, almost di]apidated building to a modemizcd building facade with snowmelt and handicxpped
access, among many other items.
W. Gillic npt only kuows my address arnd fax ntunber, but.had the audaciry to drive out to my
home in Gypsum, unannounccd, and catl me from my drivevray to say lie ha,d couxe to talk to me ai
Scorpio. Fortunatcly, I was not home bocause i would have been very upsetl
If T xnay cominent on this whole lodging yualiry iuitiative prograxn: at least half of the owAlers at
Scorpio have upgraded their units from the rather dark, dingy early 70s dcScor thcy wece sportiug. Thc oncs
who have not upgradod are typically the renlal uni.ts. If an owner does iavest a lot of moncy in upgrades,
he will otli.,n thern remove it from the renta] market Why? Because ii bas boen their experience thal rcnters
do not appr+eciate the Gne decor and damage and/or steal the nieer appointments. lt is a shame and it is at
odd.c wfth what the lodging qua(ity initiative is all about, but that has bcen my el;perience. The weu and
tear, and somctim¢s outright vandalism, coupled wiih decrc.~s-drental income duc to mmagement and
housc9cceping fees, have discpuraged miany a second-horne owner from rcnting his b.ome.
1 am faxin,g this out today because I will be iv thc Town of Vail offiees tomorrow morc?ing for a
Vaii Symposiunt meeting if you wish to discuss this futther with me in persoa I knpw you are a very busy
man and I apprcciate your attention to this ma;tex. 1 lhink iYs an important onc.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
I cannot express how sorry I am that you have become the focus of the paranoia expressed by Eileen
F. Jacobs in her letter of October 6. I had no indication that she was boing to have such a reactian to
my company's overture to cooperate on management of the Scorpio condominium complex. By try-
ing to walk through the front door, and not stab her in the back by contacting her owners without her
knowledge, I appear to have provoked a wholly inappropriate response.
I can assure you that her accusations are absolutely without foundation. Our relationship with some
of the owners in the Scorpio predates the Lodging Quality Initiative by several years and I have
never used the opportunity of any contact from them regarding the LQI to solicit business.
I am especially embarrassed because the Town of Vail and the council neither initiated, funded nor
managed the Lodging Quality effort and have offered only the much appreciated moral support of
the Town in dealing with a critical problem in the community.
5hould you have any questions or want to know any specific details of Pinnacle's or my relationship
with Scorpio or Ms. Jacobs please feel free to contact me at your convenience. The same applies to
Bob McLaurin or any other member of the town staff.
Y r treily,

Dear Mr. Armour, Mr. McLaurin, and all Town Council Members,
It was a pleasure seeing all of you last night at the Town Council Meeting. I feel it was a good,
productive meeting.
Per your request, enclosed please find an information package about our new digital cable service
for each of you. As mentioned last night, the digital service will be coming to Vail on November
11, 1997. Please note (due to a printing error) that the infomation incorrectly states that the feed
for the premium channels (HBO, Showtime, Encore, etc) is from both the East and West Coast.
- We offer the East Coast feed, and NOT the West Coast feed. These cards are being reprinted, and
will be replaced in these customer packages as soon as possible.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 949-5808, or call Roxanne
Novia, Office Manager, about the Digital Launch. She can be reached on 949-5530, Ext. 100.
Very truly yours,

To Whom It May Concern:
1 am wrlting in regard to the "Vail Valley Center", the proposed development project on the
Stolport Property adjacent to Avon. Although this parcel of land is appropriate for development
the proposed pro)ect would be completely out of scale and character wiLh the Vaii Val(ey.
Therefore for the first dme I find myself (a developer) requesting that project proponents be sent
back to the drawing board. Here'are my recommendations for reworking the projecG
PRO]ECT CHARACTER gF VALLEY
A five million square-foot project that includes almost one million square feet of commercial space
(20-25 Wal-Marts), along with approxtmately 2400 dwelling units ciearly must be defined as
extremely high density development. This large scale development will overshadow our
community and conflicts with the established style, character and density of the.Vail Valley. The
density and scale of the project should be radically reduced to conform more closely to exisdng
Vail Valley development. We came to the Valley to escape an urban environment. I believe
svongly in balanced growth, but unbridled and out-of-character development will destroy our
community.
NEW INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE
Current Vail Valley Center plans do not commit the developer to solving vaffic impacu up-front
which at build-out will generate 25,000 cars per day. With vaffic already a problem in the Valley,
lt is clear that a_new_lnterstte interchange and acce« to Highwav 6 shouid b huilt hafnra ar,y
develonment ts aflowed to occur on the Stolport Pronem,+. The new Avon roundabouts funded by
diverse community interesu should solve today's traffic probiems, but shouid not serve as the
access for new development.
PRESERVE VIEWS
As currendy proposed, it appears the project might include buildings that protrude above I-70,
with extreme visibility from I-70. Beautiful down-Valley and up-Valley views coutd be lost forever.
Again, in the interest of preserving the character of our area, a protective "view shed" should be
estabiished. Uniu should be visually screened and height limitations established. Development
should be pushed back significantly from the Interstate. Finally, all of the development on the
north side of I-70 should be carefully reviewed for view and wildiife impacts. Beaver Creek• Resort • 100 East Thomas Place • Drawer 2770 • Beaver Creek, Colorado 81620 •(970) 845-9200 • FAX (970) 845-7205

, r~ 1NVOLVE AVON COMMIINITY IN DEGISION MAKMf,
It is totaily tnappropnate for the developers to take this project through the Eagle County approval
process without concurrence from the Avon Town Council. ]oint approval by the County and
Avon should be required, as both jurisdictions are significantly affected by the development.
Addidonally, steps should be taken to ensure that Avon is not burdened with the costs of this
project. Otherwise, Avon taxes could go through the roof.
LI11K COMPLETION OF AM uIT;F-S WITH PFQMtrc
Building permlts should be ded to compledon oF the various amenides promised by the developer
(I.e. open space, bike paths, parks, etc.).
In summary, the Stolport Property offers a unique oppor[unity to appropriately complete
development in the Vall Vailey. But the proposal being considered must be significandy reworked
to achieve less density, protect views and address traffic impacts. Without these revlsions, the
project is totally inappropriate and out-oF character and could destroy what Valley residents have '
worked so hard to create over the last several decades. • '
