AGENDA

1 . Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Stage III Tour of Keystone's
Bob McLaurin River Run. Discussion of urban design principles and mass/bulk/height/

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Tour and discussion, only.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The purpose of this tour of River Run at
Keystone is to experience what an award-winning site plan looks like
once constructed and how it feels, as a user, to stand in the heart of it. It
is an opportunity to take urban design principles off paper and experience
what they mean in a real situation what works well and what does not.
We can apply that experience in future meetings on the alternative
Master Plan concepts being discussed for Lionshead Redevelopment.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
We, the Keystone Employee Housing Team, provide well
maintained, convenient, affordable accommodations to support
an active community lifestyle for resident employees in a
courteous, responsive manner.
TO OUR NEW EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESIDENTS
Keystone has developed a housing program with affordability,
comfort, and convenience in mind. Our goal is to make your
housing part of an overall positive experience at Keystone. To
achieve our goal, we need your help. As a resident, your
contribution to our overall SENSE OF COMMUNITY is vital.
This summary does not cover all the rules, and Keystone
reserves the right to add, delete, or change Housing policies
and procedures at any time without notice. We will gladly
supply you with any specific information you may need
regarding your stay with us. As a general rule, if a resident's
actions are based on respect for others and respect for the
property and environment, those actions will be not only
acceptable but encouraged. Please take the time to review this
book. Give us the opportunity to answer any questions or
concerns you may have.
WELCOME TO THE
KEYSTONE EMPLOYEE HOUSING COMMUNITY!
COMMUNITY LIVING
Keystone Employee Housing is a shared
living egperience, which makes your housing
more affordable. Shared living is a great way
to meet new people and make new friends,
but we realize it can cause some problems. If
you have a conflict with your roommate, let
us know so we can help find a solution.
b~
For a positive experience for every one, we need your support
and cooperation to provide these rights:
1) Sleep without undue disturbance from noise, guests of a
roommate, etc.
2) The egpectation that a roommate and/or other residents
will respect one's personal belongings.
3) A clean environment in which to live.
4) Free access to one's room and facilities without pressure
from a roommate or others.
If you have any problems related to these rights, please come
to the Housing office.
2
RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITY
All the residents of a unit are responsible for what goes on
within their unit. Residents are also responsible for the
actions of their guests or visitors. Any damage or illegal
activity that occurs in a unit for which a specific individual
does not take responsibility will be considered the
responsibility of all residents of that unit.
RENTER'S INSURANCE
As in any rental property, renter's insurance is recommended
to protect your belongings against fire, flood, theft, etc.
Keystone Employee Housing accepts no responsibility for loss
or damage to your property.
KEYSTONE EMPLOYEE HOUSING
On-Property Housing: Sunriae, Sagebrush, and Tenderfoot
Off Property Housing: Privately owned condominiums and
homes located throughout Summit County and leased by

emergency night crew can be reached after 3:30 p.m.
by calling 389-1049, or by calling the resort
operator.
Off-Property
Maintenance problems off property may require Housing
Management to get in touch with the owner or property
manager of that unit. These problems sometimes require
longer repair time as Keystone may be required to obtain
owner authorization. If a problem exists in the common areas,
(e.g. hall lights out, elevators not working), contact the
manager of the complex. If the area in which you live is not

FIRE DETECTION/PROTECTION DEVICES
Sagebrush, Sunrise, and Tenderfoot units are equipped with
smoke detectors. These devices are provided for your
protection and under no
circumstances should you
tamper with them. All
detectors are hooked into one
system for each building.
Should a general alarm sound
throughout the building,
~ everyone is egpected to
evacuate immediately.
(NOTE: refusing to evacuate
during a general alarm could
result in your arrest by the fire
/ I marshal.) There are fire
extinguishers and pull stations on every floor for your use in
an emergency situation.
NOTICE: If you pull the smoke detector from the ceiling
or tamper with the detector in any way, all residents of the
unit will split a$200.00 fine.
When your smoke detector is set off, it will reset itself in 3 to 5
minutes. To assist the reset, open all windows and doors to
clear the air faster. If your smoke detector will not shut off,
contact the Employee Housing Office at 468-4374; or, after 5:00
p.m. call 389-1049 or the resort operator. D ue to repeated
false alarms, fines from the fire marshal will be distributed to
all residents of the building of the person(s) responsible cannot
be identified.
5
FIREARMS
Firearms, egplosives, ammunition, or other dangerous
weapons are prohibited in any part of Keystone Employee
Housing. "Weapons" may include (but are not limited to) BB
guns, starter pistols, blow-dart guns, slingshots, martial arts
devices, survival knives, daggers, and switch-blades.
PARKING
Parking is in short supply at Keystone and throughout Summit
County. To provide sufficient parking for those who need it, all
vehicles belonging to residents and their guests must be
registered with the Employee Housing office. To register your
vehicle, you must bring your valid automobile registration and
a valid government issue photo ID. Any vehicle not registered
will be ticketed and possibly towed away at the owner's
egpense. Once registered, you will receive a Keystone Housing
Parking Pass. If your automobile is out of service and it
remains in an Employee Housing Parking Lot for more than
two weeks it may be towed. Housing parking lots should not
be used for vehicle storage (long term vehicle storage is
available in Silverthorne and Frisco). All vehicles must be
parked in appropriate parking spaces; please do not block
emergency egits, fire lanes, driveways, handicapped access, or
other "No Parking" zones.
6
SNOW PLOWING
A large sign will be placed at the entrance of each of the
Employee Housing's parking lots the day prior to snow
plowing. The sign will state the date and time of the plowing.
As a vehicle owner, it is your responsibility to remove your
automobile from the parking lot by the date and time stated on
the sign. If you do not move your vehicle Employee Housing
may have no alternative but to tow it at your egpense.
BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS
Notice to Contact
Any resident whose behavior violates Housing rules will either
receive a warning or a"Notice to Contact" the Housing Office.
Copies of all notices may be forwarded to supervisors so they
are aware of their employees' behavior in Housing.
If a rule violation occurs in a unit and a specific individual does
not take responsibility for the incident, all residents in the unit
will receive a"Notice to Contact" the Housing Office.
7
Substance Abuse, Illegal Drugs, and Alcohoi
The use or possession of alcohol, illegal drugs, narcotics, drug
paraphernalia or controlled substances while on the job, in
Company vehicles, or on Company property (including
Employee Housing) constitutes grounds for disciplinary action,
up to and including discharge. Obviously, this also applies to
the illegal sale of such. Any illegal substance found will be
turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency and
could result in criminal prosecution. If illegal substances are
found in any unit, all residents of that unit will be subject to
eviction from Housing. Remember that the toleration of
illegal behauior is considered by the Company to be
equal to the behavior itself.
Alcoholic Beverages
The following is a list of guidelines pertaining to the use of
alcohol in Employee Housing:
1. The legal drinking age in Colorado is 21. If you are 21 or
older you may possess and consume alcoholic beverages in
Employee Housing. Underage drinking is a violation of
State law and will not be tolerated.
2. If you are 21, State law prohibits you from providing
alcoholic beverages to anyone not old enough to purchase
them. Roommates should be especially careful of this.
3. Beer kegs, party balls, or other bulk dispensers (full or
empty) may not be brought into any unit of Keystone
Housing.

STAGE THREE SELECTION OR CREATION
OF PREFERRED MASTER PLAN ALTERNATIVES
TOUR OF RIVER RUN AT KEYSTONE
WHAT IS R1VER RUN? River Run at Keystone is a master-planned mountain base resort
development currently under construction. It is one of two base portals in the Keystone resort.
In 1997, River Run won a Gold Nugget Grand Award, which honors the best community designs
and plans in the Western United States and the Pacific Rim. The judges based their decision on
authenticity, interest, heritage, character, attention to planning and design detail. Judges'
comments included the statement:
"The site plan for this resort provides outstanding connectivity and balance to
all areas of the village. Excellent thought was given to pedestrian and vehicular
circulation. The resort can continue to expand while remaining user friendly. Also
important was the thought that went into planning the village design for year-round,
all season enjoyment."
• WHY TOUR RIVER RUN? HOW IS THIS TOUR RELEVENT TO L10NSHEAD?
The purpose of our tour of River Run is to experience what an award-winning site plan
looks like once constructed and how it feels to stand in the heart of it. It is an opportunity
to experience what urban design principles mean in reality.
The tour participants will have the chance to judge, each from his or her own experience of the
place, whether or not River Run has a great.serrse of place and specific,&.ly, what works well
and what elements are not as effective in creating a great place for pedestrians. We then can
apply that experience to concepts being discussed in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
process.
WHAT SHOULD WE BE LOOKING FORJAT ON THE TOUR? - - -
Some specific elements to observe and "try on for size" include:
* Pedestrian flow from the arrival point(s) to the mountain do you have a natural sense
of where to go? Are you "camed along", or is it confusing?
* Views of the mountain from the arrival point(s) are you drawn in?
* Street orientation to the mountain is there a connection between where you stand and
the mountain above?
* Building heights, setbacks and street width -
how do those factors combine to create a"feel" from the pedestrian ways?
* Size and configuration of public plazas are they inviting?
* Pass throughs do they make you want to explore what is on the other side?
* Signage is it informative but subtle?
Page 1 of 2
What else strikes you about the place as you approach? As you depart? What sticks in your
mind? Do yotr waftt to returir to that place? Why or why not?
DON'T GET TOO DISTRACTED BY:
* the architectural style ("Colorado heritage", aka mining, ranching and railroading)
* the fact that River Run still is under construction
* the fact that Intrawest had a"clean slate" for its site planning and construction-- and no
gradient changes vs. our situation involving the redevelopment of an existing base -
village with significant grade changes in Lionshead
FINAL WORDS OF ADVICE FOR TOUR-GOERS:
Relax ancl enjoy! Don't thitik about it too much. Instead, experience it. Try Riiver Run
on for size, and gauge how it feels to you to be in that place. Focus on what elements you would
like to see and not see in Lionshead in the years to come. That :s the reason for the tour.

Loading and Delivery Discussion Participants:
On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to work with us to
improve the management of loading and delivery in Vail Village for the short-term. Many of you
have complimented the work of our consultant, MK Centennial Engineering, for its thorough
research and realistic approach to the problems. We appreciate that feedback.
We also want to personally thank and acknowledge participants such as Peter Franke and Ron
Riley, who have offered concessions on behalf of their restaurants to explore doing business
differently, such as cutting down on the number of deliveries they receive each week. We
believe breakthroughs such as these are significant in our collective ability to make some
headway on this issue.
A final list of recommended short-term solutions will be presented to the Vail Town Council at
3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25 in the Council Chambers. At that time, Council will be asked to
approve or modify this list for immediate implementation. A list of the recommendations are
attached. I hope you'll join us for this final discussion of short-term improvements Tuesday. If
you're unable to attend, but have an opinion on the matter, feel free to fax your comments to me
or the Vail Town Council at 479-2157. Or, call me at 479-2105.
Following Tuesday's discussion, Centennial will begin its work on long-term solutions.
We'll keep you posted on the next round of discussions.
Thanks again for your continued participation.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

C~ RECYCLEDPAPER
Vail Villaeo Loaditio & Delivery
Recommended Short-term Solutions
• Create an informational brochure of existing loading and delivery
practices for all people who utilize the Vail Village - give Check
Point Charlie personnel informational maps they can hand out to people
directing them to the correct loading and delivery areas or the parking
structure.
The brochure will contain the overall guidelines for the policy
decisions of the Town Council.
Policy decisions that need to be decided are:
Priorities - trucks or cars
Officers role - inform, enforce
Hours when Check Point Charlie should be maned
Ticketing policy
Agree to or modify the current loading & delivery policies
Existing Policies:
• See attached map for exact parking areas and times
• There are no restrictions on how early trucks are permitted in the
Village given they park in designated areas to load and unload
• All traffic must be off of Bridge Street by 8:30am
• All traffic, except courier services, must be off of Gore Creek Drive
(between Willow Bridge Road and Bridge Street) by 11:30am
• Courier Delivery Vehicles are permitted in Vail Village until 6pm -
parked in designated areas
• Garbage trucks are permitted in the Village between 7am and 9am
• Check Point Charlie is manned from 8am until 5pm during the peak
season
• After 11:30 Large trucks (36' or more) are permitted to park on Willow
_ Bridge Road and Gore Creek Drive north of P3&J until 12pm
• Limited access at Hanson Ranch Road - barricade Hanson Ranch
road at Vail Village Drive between the hours of 8-9am and 3-4pm to limit
people from using Hanson Ranch r.oad as a skier drop-off and pick-up.
This option will involve having a barricade placed across Hanson
Ranch road - the barricade will not block the entrance to the
roadway entirely, this will permit access to guests who are
allowed to park in the P-3&J lot.
The barricade will be clearly marked directing other traffic (skiers
etc.) to the appropriate locations, Gold Peak skier drop-off or
Check Point Charlie.
There will need to be a Code Enforcement Officer or Code
Security Officer available to police the area and direct those who
are not permitted to park there to the correct locations.*
"There may not be adequate personnel available for this task, and concerns have been
raised about large back-ups of vehicles. Due to these concerns it is proposed that this
solution be tested during a two week trial period before it is implemented for the entire ski
season.
• Use Variable Message Signs (VMS) at key locations directing
skiers to the parking structures, and informing them where
appropriate skier drop-offs are located.
Additional - VMS signs to get the attention of out-of -town guests
and direct them clearly to the appropriate parking locations.
• Change the parking ticket structure. Have a ticketing structure that
will penalize the repeat offender and not affect the guests of the Village.
The first three parking tickets a person receives will be the
standard $26, the fourth and all subsequent tickets will be $100
or more.**
"*Town of Vail Council does have the authority to increase the parking fines in the Village.
Additional solutions that will also be undertaken in the short-term:
To begin immediately on a voluntary basis:
•Work with individual restaurants that are not accepting early deliveries
and try to work out a way for them to take early (prior to 11:30)
deliveries and get the trucks out of the Village. . ,
~ Recommend that all shops, distributors, and restaurants in the Village
attempt to limit their weekend deliveries.
• Have trucking companies to alter their routes into and out of Vail Village
to more evenly distribute the truck traffic on the roadways into and out
of the Village.
• Work with garbage companies (BFI and Honeywagon) to reduce Vail
Village pick-up times to between 8am-9am.
Continue to talk to the Vail Village merchants, restaurants, and residences to
enhance the existing system.
• Talk to trucking companies and try to get trucks in and out of Vail
Village as quickly as possible - this may mean changing routes slightly
etc.
• Encourage all Vail Village shops and restaurants to maintain enough
storage for more than one days worth of deliveries.

RE: Truck Parking Issue: Proposed Recommendations to the Town Council
A presentation to the Vail Town Council, recommendin changes to this winter's iruck
loading and deliverv procedures for Vail Village, will be conducted at the afternoon work session
on Tuesdav, November 25, 1997. Concemed parties are advised to attend the presentation to
voice their positions regarding the proposed changes to the procedures.
At the Town Council's work session on Tuesday, November 18, 1997, the consulting engi-
neering firm, responsible for drafting proposed changes to the loading and delivery procedures,
made their preliminary recommendations. See attachment 91. A newspaper account from the
Vail Daily of the Town Council's reaction to the report is attached. See attachment #2.
The draft recommendations were proposed by the consultant engineers after conducting
five public meetings with the primary interest groups concerned with the truck loading and deliv-
ery issue. The Homeowners Associahon panccipated in all but one of the meetings.
Excerpts of inforniation provided at these meetings by the consultant engineers can be
found in attachment #3. The information summarizes the present loading and delivery schedule as
well as loading zones and traffic volume by type of vehicle as measured at Check Point Charlie.
Also, included are suggestions based upon research conducted by the consulting engineering firm.
Additional information was provided by the consultants that reported the findings of a ran-
dom survey regarding the truck parking issue of consumers and from a community wide survey of
residents and property owners. The surveys indicated that there was general satisfaction with the
present condition. Concurrence with these levels of satisfaction was not generally echoed in the
public meetings.
The consulta.nts conducted a survey of noise leveis from various activities associated with
truck deliveries. These activities produced noise level in a range from 57 to 74 decibels. The
Town of Vail's noise control ordinance has a maximum limit of 65 decibels during the daytime
and 55 decibels during the evening hours.
At a recent meeting with the consulting en&ineer, the Homeowners Associations and repre-
sentatives of condominium associations the followmg changes were recommended to be included
in the winter operating procedures. These proposals were not included in the consulting engineers
recommendations. The Homeowners Association will request that the Town Council to include
the following points in the truck loading and delivery polices and procedures.
1. Allow only passenger cars and small trucks/vans, less than 19 feet in length, to park in
loading zones adjacent to the Christiania Parking Lot, Riva Ridge North, Summers Lodge and the
Internahonal Bridge. These areas are in residential zone districts lying outside the boundaries of
Commercial Core I.

EVHA BOD/JFL: Vail Village Truck Loading Recommendations to the Town Council
11/21/1997
2. In order to reduce the burden on any one of the residential neighborhoods that surround
Commercial Core One, equally disperse arrivmg and departing truck traffic on the three main CCI
access routes, Vail Road, International Bridge Road, and Hanson Ranch Road/Gore Creek Drive.
3. Allow Class 5 and larger trucks access to make deliveries within CCI during regular
delivery hours on Hanson Ranch Road in the area of Bridge Street.
4. Parking for Class 5 and larger truck making deliveries after regularly scheduled load-
ing and delivery hours must occur from the Frontage Road adjacent to the Vail Village Trans-
portation Center. No late deliveries from Class 5 or larger trucks can be staged from loading
zones in surrounding residential neighborhoods on the periphery of CCI such as at the Mill Creek
Court Building, Mountain Haus, Village Center, Swiss Haus or the Christiania Lodge.
5. Under special weather conditions CCI delivery hours can be extended. In special cir-
cumstances late deliveries can be made by large trucks directly to the building in Commercial
Core I receiving a shipment.
6. Vail Associates should be requested to make space available to large UPS delivery ve-
hicles in the area South of the Lodge of Vail, during the holiday season.
7. During peak capacity days, locate traffic controlled personnel at Vail Valley Drive and
Hanson Ranch Road to direct skier drop-off and pick-up traffic to the new Golden Peak Skier
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Parking Lot. Additionally, increase enforcement of the prohibition against
Skier Drop-Off and Pick-Up on Mill Creek Circle.
8. No parking areas should be established at the entrances to businesses where customer
access is blocked or hindered during large iruck delivery. hours.
9. Increase enforcement. Due to personnel shortages and conflicts over salary levels, in-
crease the level of enforcement in the affected area by infilling shortfalls in the numbers of re-
quired Code Enforcement Officers (CSO) personnel with police officers during peak traffic hours.
Summary:
The short term recommendations made by the consulting engineers to the Town Council
for the most part appear to be practical except for the recommendation to "bairicade" Hanson
Ranch Road at Vail Valley Drive during peak traffic in the morning and afternoon. This proposal
would require all East Village residential traffic to enter through Check Point Charlie. This m-
crease in vehicular traffic would increase safety risks by commingling vehicular traffic during
times of peak pedestrian circulation along the length of Gore Creek Drive in Commercial Core I.
At the meetings held by the consulting engineers there was a consensus that the efficien-
cies of the close-in/fast delivery scheme for the 1996-97 winter season initiated by the Homeown-
ers Association reduced the duration of the loading and delivery time for large trucks. Further, it
appears that with the cooperation from the bars and restaurants additional reductions can be
achieved in the amount of time large trucks reyuire access to CCI.
Please advise if there are additional proposals or concerns that should be presented to the
Town Council.

Dear Suzanne:
Tnank you for sending the updated proposals for the Lionshead R2deve'_oc:-.er.t ?-la-:. '
found them very interesting, and spent several hours looking at the draw_~:gs t:~=oug~_
a magnifying glass.
First, I would appreciate it if you would pass along my thanks to all c= the pecc1=
who have contributed their ideas to this massive project. There's not en:ouah r.cney
in the world to pay for the enthusiasm and creativity thar_ have gone inzo tnese
p '_ans. Clearly the people who are leading this process have a great lc:Te and
passion for Vail/Lionshead. As a part-time homeowner in Lionshead, mi -,a'_fe and I
feel deeply indebted to everyone who has invested so much time in t-his -~)=oject.
Second, we want to also thank you for the openness of the project. ? have neve_r
seen a greater public outreach effort for any endeavor. Everyone on the c_ty
council, design committee, zoning have set a new standard in public OlitL"e3CI7 and
debate.
Finally, i would like to endorse the plans and recommendations that have been
developed thus fa-r. The plans are exciting and far-reaching. In particular, I saant
-:o endorse the higher-density zoning that may be necessary to bring these plans t-c
f=uition. I realize that not all- of my neighbors share this view, and = respec=
_~?ei= corcerns. Personally, my wife and i find the higher-density~of a 52aver

ivoise poi?ution standards are one area where I would ask for higher stardards. Bus

would asf the committee to review noise standards and set levels that w_il crea=e ~

Honorable Robert W. Armour
Mayor, Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Mayor Armour:
Thank you for your letter of October 1997, to Chief Bcsbeck, expressing
concern about the mountain pine beetle problem in the Vail area. I am
responding on the Chief's behalf as Director of Forest Health Protection.
The mountain pine beetle is a native insect that co-evolved with lodgepole
pine. Acting in concert with fire, this beetle plays an important role in
regenerating old, crowded lodgepole pine stands. These older stands dominate
the lodgepole pine landscape in the Vail Valley Assessment Area, so beetle
epidemics in these stands are inevitable.
There have been many mountain pine beetle outbreaks in the forests in and
around the White Mountain National Forest. During the last outbreak, the USDA
Forest Service, Colorado State Forest Service, Summit and Eagle Counties,
local communities, and private landowners cooperated in a large program aimed
at reducing mountain pine beetle damage. This effort lasted from 1982 to 1985
when beetle populations collapsed. Unfortunately, a 1996 Forest Service
analysis concluded that "...past management activities have not minimized
losses to mountain pine beetle."
We agree that mountain pine beetle epidemics can result in serious impacts to
forest resources and eventually increase the risk of catastrophic wildfire.
We will give serious consideration to funding an effective, integrated effort
to deal with mountain pine beetle effects and forest conditions that are
deemed undesirable. tn order to ensure a reasonable chance of success for
such a costly program, a long-term, collaborative commitment by all parties is
essential; this commitment must continue even after the current beetle
outbreak subsides.
Thanks again for your letter. We look forward to working with you in the
future.
Sincerely,

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOVEMBER 18
Work Session Briefs
Council Members Present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston Kurz, Navas
--Joint Work Session with County Commissioners
During an hour-long joint meeting between Councilmembers and County Commissioners
Johnnette Phillips and Bud Gates, topics included: gravel pits, Adam's Rib, Vail Valley Centre,
regional marketing, land use regulations, inclusionary zoning (affordable housing), Berry Creek
Fifth, and the distribution of property taxes. In particular, participants discussed the future of the
Berry Creek Fifth property. At one point Councilman Michael Jewett asked the Commissioners if
they'd be interested in selling the county's ownership percentage to the Town of Vail. Phillips
said yes, while Gates (who has advocated open space/recreational uses for the property) said it
would depend on the intent of the land's use. As for inclusionary zoning, both Gates and Phillips
said they had concerns about the legality of such legislation due to private development rights
under state law. That prompted a challenge from Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners
Association. Lamont said the Commissioners should get a legal opinion on the so-called
"takings" matter rather than use the issue as a"screen to hide behind." Citing the region's social
and morale responsibility, he also suggested creation of a housing trust fund that would pool
money and land from the county, municipalities and other entities.
--Loading & Delivery Update
During an update on loading and delivery by representatives from the consulting firm Centennial
Engineering, Councifinembers turned their frustration into optimism after hearing a pledge from
Ron Riley to explore ways to reduce the number of deliveries his three establishments receive
during the week. Riley said he favored "chipping away" at additional improvements, which
includes the possibility of eliminating or modifying Saturday deliveries. Riley said the town should
press hard for answers from those who insist upon Saturday deliveries. He also suggested
requiring delivery drivers to add a second person to help speed up the time it takes to unload.
Eartier, Councilmembers had expressed frustration with the apparent lack of give-and-take by
those impacted by the problem. But Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association,
said the recent meetings had been productive in opening up the dialogue for adjustments and
modifications. Specifically, Lamont said his group favors keeping the delivery trucks out of the
residential areas, along with improved enforcement by the town. Town Manager Bob McLaurin

spoke of the need to increase staffing at Checkpoint Charlie. At the same time, he expressed
the town's difficulty in filling those positions. Councilman Ludwig Kurz noted increased
satisfaction with the current management system within the past year. He said additional
improvements would keep the issue moving in the right direction. Ultimately, Kurz said a final
solution witl involve an infrastructure improvement. Michael Jewett suggested passage of a
Council resotution (rather than an ordinance mandate) indicating a desire by the community to
eliminate Saturday deliveries. The Council will revisit the issue at next Tuesday's work session
when it will be asked to review, then modify or approve a list of recommended actions for the
management of loading and delivery during the 1997-98 ski season. The consultanYs work will
then shift to analysis of long-term solutions. For more information, contact Larry Grafel, public
works/transportation director, at 479-2173.
--1997 Interim Financial Report
The Council reviewed an interim financial report presented by Steve Thompson, finance director.
Thompson said the town continues to project a 5.5 percent increase in sales tax for 1997 over
last year's collections. Through September, sales tax is 6.2 percent above the previous year.
Thompson said the town will make its estimate if it averages an increase of 3.2 percent for the
balance of the year. Also, Thompson said a supplementation appropriation of $323,916 will be
needed before year's end to fund unanticipated expenditures, as well as other adjustments. The
adjustments will leave an estimated $4.2 million in general fund balance. ThaYs about $400,000
more than the fund was estimated to be when the 1997 general fund budget was adopted. For
additional information, contact Thompson at 479-2116.
--Information Update
After receiving congratulations from the Council on his promotion to senior planner, George
Ruther briefed the Council regarding compliance issues associated with work underway by the
Vail Alpine Gardens. To help expedite the organization's request to begin work on its final
garden in Ford Park yet this fall, Ruther said the town agreed to issue a grading permit prior to
approval of the final plan. Since then, Ruther said the organization has failed to comply with its
previous agreements and commitments regarding construction of an ADA ramp within the
gardens. Construction of the ramp now spills out into other lease areas, Ruther said, further
complicating matters. Council members agreed that red tagging the project would be an
appropriate action if the Foundation continues to be unresponsive to the previous commitments.
Councilmembers asked to receive copies of all future correspondence on the matter.
For more information, contact Ruther at 479-2145.
Next, Councilmembers learned of scheduling adjustments offered by the Vail Recreation District
that will provide enough soccer fields--in Vail--to accommodate three-fourths of the 3-on-3 Triple
Crown Soccer Tournament players this summer. The tournament is being brought to Vail
through sponsorship dollars provided by the town.
The Council expressed its thanks to the VRD for its scheduling assistance.
Councilmembers were asked to mark their calendars for the next "community mixer" scheduled
for 5:15 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Dancing Bear. The event, sponsored by the Vail
Tomorrow Building Community Team, is intended to informally increase communication--one-on-
one--between Vail's elected officials and members of the.community.

--Council Reports
Mayor Bob Armour gave an update on the Vail 99 Celebration Committee's work, noting his
enthusiasm for the creativity involved in the planning and coordination of the special events that
will accompany the championships.
--Other
NFichael Jewett inquired about the status of the lights at the West Vail Lodge (they're now in
compliance); parking problems on Alta Circle; and a town request to the Colorado Department of
Transportation regarding the need for a guard rail on South Frontage Road west of the Cascade
Club. .
Sybill Navas asked if Councilmembers had read about the possibility of reintroducing the lynx to
the area.
Paul Johnston thanked Corbin Daugherty for his interest and presence at Council meetings
throughout his candidacy.
Bob Armour thanked Vail Associates and the Lionshead Merchants Association for sponsorship
of last week's candidates forum. He also reminded Councilmembers of a reception for the new
hospital director.
--Town Manager's Report
Town Manager Bob McLaurin updated the Council on the status of the process being used to
enable the Vacation Channel to receive a channel position on the TCI Cablevision system
(replacing the Animal Planet channel). The change will take place following a 30-day notification
to subscribers.
Evening Session Briefs
Council Members Present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
Cathie Douglas, a resident on West Meadow Drive, asked for the addition and or replacement of
stop signs, speed signs and no outlet signs along the road.
Next, Mark Servantas asked for an update regarding a previous request to extend the 2 a.m. late
night bus. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said cost estimates would be available within the next
week for review. Servantas said the extra service was needed for employees who clean-up
when the bars close at 2 a.m. Oftentimes, Servantas said he works until 2:45 a.m.
Emily Kloser, who lives on Garmish in West Vail, asked for consideration of a bus stop at the
intersection of Arosa and Chamonix Lane. She presented the Council with 25 petition
signatures. Town Manager Bob McLaurin agreed to review the request, which had been denied
previously due to the steepness of Chamonix Lane. Kloser pointed out that providing bus service
along Lionsridge Loop is just as steep.
--Town Manager's Report
In his Town Manager's Report, Bob McLaurin noted the storm sewer work at Checkpoint Charlie
had been wrapped up for the season. Sybill Navas asked for information on work that appears to
be underway in the parking lot of the Old Town Shops.

Dear Council members:
We have seen preliminary sketches for the proposed Vail Assoc7ates Lionshead
Core Redevelopment Project; we are disappoinbed. As 21 year awners of a unit in
Lifthause Lodge and an annual visitor to Vail, we believe the proposed design doeg
littye to contribute to the goal of providing a visually attractive facal point for
i.,ionshead. In particular, we are opposed to the height o# the proposed structure. It
will be substantially higher than the surrounding structures and thus will detract
from the unity and cohesiveness of the Lionshead Towri Center. By obstructing the
views froYn Lifthouse and other structures, as well as failing to provide a visually
integrating architectural elemerit, it will deiract from, nat enhance the Lionshead
core. One of the design challenges in Lionshead iS the need for a unifying .
cohesiveness - azchitecturally and visually. A retail/hotel cornplex that ignores this
challenge, and ic? fact runs counter to it, will further impair the efforts over the
years to make Lionshead an attractive, inviting center. It certainly wouldn't be
allowed in Vail Village. The height controls in the Village are in fact one of the
factors which contribute tp its charm, intimacy, and popularity.
If Vait Associates is permitted to go ahead with the plan as proposed, then evety
structure in Lionshead should be allowed to make any architectural changes and
modifiications it wishes because there will be no unifying scheme.
Thank you for the opportuniry to comment.
Sincerely,
Chris & Kelly

THE CASE FOR CREATING
EAGLE COUNTY
ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS
Eagle County is one of Colorado's and the nation's
faster growing counties. Its estimated population at the
beginning of 1996 was 29,400 - up 34 percent since 1990 and
121 percent since 1980. More than 85 percent of these
residents live along or near the I-70 corridor between Vail
and Gypsum. More than 90 percent of the county's growth has
been in this corridor.
The Eagie County government, seven town governments,
and several special districts provide services to these
residents. As the I-70 corridor population has increased
over the last two decades, so has the interdependence of
these communities. We live in one town or unincorporated
community, work in a second, and shop in a third. Many of
our problems - ar]"ordable housing, transportation, economic
opportunity, environmental quality - are common to most or
a11 jurisdictions in the region. Some oz these problems
cannot be solved town by town. Most should be addressed
more efficiently and effectively on a regional basis.
In recent years, we have had one notable success in
addressing a problem regionally - the passage of a sales tax
increase to fund a regional transportation authority. On a
smaller scale, multi-jurisdictional support for a regional
tourism mGrketing program in the non-ski months has
demonstrated the value or regional cooperation.
The successful regional transportation initiative was
spawned by a group of public and private sector leaders who
have met regularly to explore solutions to regional problems
under the aegis of the Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition.
While this is a qood forum for creating public-private
partnerships in support of regional solutions, it has
neither the structure nor the authority to negotiate
intergovernmental agreements needed to implement many of
these solutions. And our most recent success was bringing
together our leaders to begin discussion of housing. But we
need a more formal arena to resolve our regional problems.
In other parts oi the state and nation, local and
county governments have created an association of
governments to facilitate discussion among interdependent
jurisdictions and to provide a forum for negotiation of
aqreements. There is a multi-county organization in this
~
part of the state that encourages such dialogue on issues
that cross county lines. At present, we have no association
of governments to perform these functions on regional issues
or special concerns to j,ust Eagle County residents.
The Eagle County Leadership Coalition and Vail Tomorrow
" Regional Cooperation Committee call on all general and
special purpose governments in the region to officially
endorse the rebirth of an "Association of Governments" that
will actively seek regional solutions to regional problems.
As a first step toward this end, the Coalition and Vail
Tomorrow will convene a special meeting of elected officials
from all governmental entities to form a Valley Association
of Governments and to designate a spokesperson to present to
the public those issues the group wisnes to tackle iirst.
If most or all governments endorse the recreation of an
Association of Governments, the Coalition and Vail Tomorrow
stand ready to support this initiative in any way our
elected officials wish. It is our purpose to provide a safe
rorum for reaching consensus on difficult issues. It is
critical to continue the dialogue, to deliberate, to
compromise and to reach consensus on how to proceed on the
issues selected.
The Coalition and Vail Tomorrow will host a meeting at
tne Avon Library where each government is represented by one
electe.d ofricial and an alternate in December or January.
Please RSVP to the Jill E. Kovacevich at 476-8711 or fax
your response to Jill at 476-8672 as to your availability.
The agenda will begin with what issues can we agree on that
are conducive to regional solutions, such as regional fire
protection, emergency commur_ications, pine beetles, mail
service. If you have other agenda items please advise by
return iax. Thank you for your support.

Mr. Robert W. McLaurin, Town Manager

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Bob:
Just wanted to drop you a short note and let you know the outcome of the meeting held
yesterday between our county commissioners and Doug Aden, the newly appointed
Transportation Commissioner for our District. Doug Aden arrived with Bob Moston and other
CDOT employees that deal with Eagle County. The meeting was an opportunity for the Board to
meet the new commissioner, for Bob Moston to update the Board on the currently approved
State-wide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and to hear the Board's concerns
relating to transportation issues. I believe that many of the issues which you would have raised
at such a meeting were conveyed by both the Board and myself.
Bob Moston highlighted the status of the projects currently identified in the bridge
replacement program. The Highway 6 bridge replacement over the Eagle River in Gypsum will
be advertised in January 1998. The Highway 6 bridge replacement over the Eagle River near
milepost 156 is scheduled for construction in the year 2000. The Highway 131 bridge
replacement over the Eagle River will likely involve a relocation and occur sometime between
2000 and 2002.
Bob Moston went over the upcoming resurfacing projects in Eagle County. They include
I-70 through Vail from the easterly end of this last year's project (milepost 168.7) to milepost
180. Additional guardrail placement is planned. This project is estimated to cost $6 million and
will be advertised in January 1998. A chip seal project is planned for accomplishment in 1999
between Carbondale and Basalt on State Highway 82.
Other Eagle County projects include $100,000 worth of preliminary engineering for a
half-diamond interchange in Eagle-Vail; replacement of the building in the Edwards Rest Area
(advertisement is planned for April 1998 and the rest area will be closed for the project duration);
and pedestrian improvements estimated to cost $200,000 in the Edwards area scheduled for
2000.
A `
The I-70 Mountain Corridor Major Investment Study was discussed at length and the fact
that Eagle County is supportive of the study. Likely recommendations were discussed with
particular emphasis on the need for a new interchange at the airport to minimize the impact of
traffic on both the Towns of Gypsum and Eagle. Eagle County thanked CDOT for their
contribution of $40,000 towards the interchange feasibility study. The importance of
improvements to State Highway 6 from Squaw Creek Road (west of Edwards) all the way to Vail
was emphasized including the need to accommodate pedestrian safety.
The Board did stress the need for active involvement by the Transportation Commission
to preserve the rail corridor from Leadville to Gypsum for rails and trails. It was noted that the
Transportation Commission did submit to the legislature their list of the rail lines to be preserved
in compliance with Senate Bill 37. Unfortunately the legislature only appropriated $1 million for
that purpose and the estimated cost is significantly greater.
Finally, Eagle County advised that they are seeking an amendment to the current STIP in
the amount of $900,000 for the Corridor Investment Study on the recently acquired railroad
right-of-way in the Roaring Fork Valley known as the Aspen Branch. Eagle County is part
owner of that line.
That essentially sums up the meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me at (970) 328-8760.

Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you on bQhalf of tihe trustees of the Pagdens PCy
I.td Staff Superannuation Fund, who are the part dwners of 212 The
Lifthouse, 555 East I,ion$head Circle, Vail.
i have received copias of preliminary details and plans of tne
proposed Lionshead Core Hedevelopment Programe, which have given
the trustees considerable cause for concern.
At the outset, let me state that we are nat against Yhe princiwee
of the redeveloQment of the Lionshead core. On the cantrary,
consider that the area is in need of redevelopment and
improvement. The removal of the gondola station alane reyuires a
new plan for the area. Horaever, we believe that th~i~Gi°band
undertaken in accordance with sound town planning p Ples,
with respect for the basic riqhts of existing owners in the area
ta sunlight, view and the preservatian of that feeling of oPen
space which makes the Lionshead area sa attracti.ve.
From the pl.ans we understand that the praposed. four blacks of
condominiums wi12 present a footprxnt which is considerably
larqer than that covered by the present buildings, and that the
height of seven storaes will increase the total bulk of buildinqs
in that area by a faGtor of more than two. In addition, the area
of the plazas around the buildings will have been considerably
reduced. This does not sound like adhezence to C]Obd tOWI1
planning princip].es to us.
From tha point of view of The Lifthouse and i.ts ownexs, it
appears that from our preaent positi4n of having a clear vi.ew
both to the plaza and the streeti scene below and, more
importantly, right up the mountain with trees, ski trail9 and the
qondola, we will be faced w1th, at best, a blank wall, and at

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
We have carefully studied the plans propased by Vail Assaciates for Lionshead.
We have two strong reservations:
l. The mall has, at present, a cold, shadowy ambience. The increased height of
the reptacement buiiding from about four stories to sevei stories witl exacerbate
this praUem. As unit owners in the Lifthouse Lodge, we are further conoerned
that this structure will diminate the view oarridar af swth and west units in the
Lifthousg sharply reduang the rental chances and ruining the mountain
atmosphere cf the investars in the Lifthouse.
2. The water fauntain park area is practically the anly non-cammercial area in
Lianshead Visitars appreaate this immensdy. We urge you ta act to retain the
integrity of this area.
Sincerely
Marri s and Evel Katz

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Robert W. McLaurin, Town Manager ~
DATE: November 25, 1997
RE: Town of Vail Municipal Code Books
As you are aware, we have been recodifying the Town of Vail Municipal Code book. The old blue
code books are out of date and have not been updated since this recodification process began. The
new code books are currently being printed and will be available for you the 2nd week in December.
If you need a copy of the Vail Municipal Code at any time between now and the arrival of the new
code books please let me know and I will loan one to you.
I apologize for the delay in getting these code books to you. However, this recodification effort was
a monumental task that took over two years from start to finish.

From: "dhaynesmsn" <dhaynesmsn@email.msn.com>
To: <ssilver@vail.net>
We have owned property in Lionshead for three years. We spent the previous
ten years skiing at various resorts trying to find the one that best suited
us. A typical ski season would be one trip to Vail and two elsewhere. We
always kept coming back to Vail and would always stay in Lionshead. We
liked the proximity to the ski slopes and the atmosphere. We certainly
share some of the concerns of the redevelopment initiative and feel that
there are several areas that need significant improvement. I am not even
concerned that it may cost additional funds for improvement of my property-I
feel they will more than pay for themselves in the long run.
I am concerned about major changes in building heights and density. 4lhile
the changes in Beaver Creek are beautiful, they have succeeded in completely
blocking any view of the mountains-you might as well be standing in New York
City. The biggest asset that we have is that beautiful mountain range!
Bigger is not necessarily better. I am a physician at a Columbia hospital
and I tried to tell them the same thing two years ago-look at where it got
them.
I do applaud the approach and slow pace of this process. Lets not get to
caught up with it however and destroy what we've got.
Start witn a new skiier bridge and making major renovations to the Gondola
building. Keep the height down to its current level. Add a couple of nice
restaurants and a few upscale shops (Golden Bear, an art gallery, Finishing
Touch). Work with architects to improve the facade of existing
structures-especially the Sunbird. Finally, complete the stream walk to the
Village.
Perhaps the major reason that we kept coming to Vai1 was the attitude of the
resort personnel from shop keepers to bus drivers to mountain hosts and ski
patrollers. This has noticeably declined over the past few years so maybe
the first step should be addressing their concerns.
Sincerely,
Doug and Sandra Haynes
