C:WGENDA.WS VAIL TOWN COUNCIL EVENING MEETING TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1998 7:30 P.M. IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS REVISED AGENDA NOTE: Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item. 1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. (5 mins.) 2. CONSENT AGENDA: A. Approve the Minutes from the meetings of January 6 and 20, 1998. 3. Presentation to Mayor by Mt. Buller Students. (5 mins.) 4. Proclamation No. 1, Series of 1998, a Proclamtion Honoring Vail Residents Chad Fleischer, Sacha Gros, Sarah Schleper and Barrett Christy as 1998 U.S. Winter Olympians. (5 mins.) 5. Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority Presentation by Mike Gallagher, Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority (ECRTA) Chair; Jim Shrum, ECRTA Director; and Vicki Maddox, Financial Adviser, Senior Vice President of George K. Baum & Company. (1 hr.) BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Council has requested a more clear analysis of all implications for withdrawal of funding (completely or proportionately) from original "funding partners." This discussion is based on healthier than expected sales tax collection, the ECRTA's current fund balance, and financing options open to the Authority for long term capital improvements. Under the original "funding partners" commitment, the ballot initiative was approved in 1995, and 1995 funding was considered the first year of the five year commitment, continuing through 1999. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In approval of their 1998 fiscal budget, Council had allocated $115,000.00 to be set aside for 1998 funding of the ECRTA. Council should move to approve the full amount, a portion of that amount, or no funding for the current year. 6. Vail Tomorrow Building Community Team Update. (5 mins.) Stan Cope ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Receive an update on the Team's efforts to begin the dialogue to create a Vail Community Center. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Last August 26, the Vail Town Council approved and accepted the concept of six community-endorsed actions presented by the Vail Tomorrow Building Community Team. One of the requests was to: "Initiate a public process to facilitate creation of a multi-purpose building that meets community needs, serving people from all demographic groups, all ages and full-time, part-time and seasonal residents." At the time, the Council responded by acknowledging that a community center is actively under consideration in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan process and that a community center also could be a focal point in a parks and public facilities planning process to be undertaken in 1998. Additionally, Council stated that it may be desirable to have a separate process dedicated to a location and desired program for one or more community facilities. Now, five months later, volunteers from the Building Community Team wish to return to Council to announce a grassroots effort to pursue the concept of a Vail Community Center in a thorough and synergetic fashion. 7. Presentation by the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team by Kent Rose. (30 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to presentation, provide direction to the Affordable Housing Team as to ways Council and the team can work together to address affordable housing issues. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Affordable Housing Team has been meeting twice monthly since January of 1997, pursuing a variety of potential solutions to the housing problem. From this work, the team would like to make recommendations as to the approaches with the greatest potential for solving the problem. 8. Ordinance No. 2, Series of 1998, first reading of an Ordinance Amending Tom Moorhead Section 1-5-11A Establishing the Time of the Town Council Regular Meeting Dates. (5 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/Modify/Deny Ordinance No. 2, Series of 1998, on second reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Vail Town Council requested the opportunity to consider an ordinance amending the time of the regular meeting which is presently set at 7:30 p.m. The ordinance as drafted will allow each Council to consider the appropriate starting time at its organizational meeting following the biennial Council elections. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 2, 1998 on second reading. 9. Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1998, second reading of an Ordinance Dominic Mauriello Amending Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Section 12-7c-5(a)(3), to Waive the Major Exterior Alterations Application Deadlines for 1998 for the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Study Area. (15 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/Modify/Deny Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1998, on second reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town is currently engaged in stage 3 of the five stage Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan process. The plan is at a crucial stage where issues of bulk and mass are being studied and recommendations are being formed. Staff believes it will be detrimental to the master planning process to have property owners submit redevelopment proposals in the Lionshead Study Area before issues of bulk and mass have been determined. Complicating this issue is the fact that in the Commercial Core 2 zone district, there is a restriction that applications can only be submitted twice a year for major exterior alterations. The deadlines are the fourth Monday in February and the fourth Monday in September. Applicants who want to proceed through the review process in 1998, are therefore required to submit applications at the end of February. Staff believes that we should allow the master planning process to proceed and at the same time allow potential applicants more flexibility with submittal deadlines in 1998. These deadlines were originally developed to address staff workload issues. The concept was essentially have all applications reviewed at once. For many years these deadlines have not benefited the staff or the public and staff will be reviewing this section of the Zoning Code later in 1998 to determine if a code change is necessary. The proposed ordinance places a new application date of June 15, 1998 and allows applications to be submitted anytime after June 15 for the 1998 calendar year only. This will allow time for the master planning process to proceed and allow applicants to submit proposals this summer. Included in your packet is Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1998 as approved on first reading. Since first reading a concern has been raised regarding other development proposals located in the Lionshead Study Area, but not zoned CC2. Staff has included in your packet a"draft" revised ordinance which delays all development proposals in the Lionshead Study Area until June 15, 1998 (excluding single-family and two-family uses). Changes are highlighted in bold. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of "draft" Ordinance No. 1, 1998 on second reading. 10. Loading and Delivery Update. (15 mins.) Bob McLaurin Greg Morrison ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to presentation by staff, receive public input and give direction to staff regarding Hanson Ranch Road and Check Point Charlie "experiments" over the Christmas Holidays. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In December 1997 Council directed staff to conduct two experiments over the Christmas holidays: man a check point on Hanson Ranch Road from 8:00 to 10:30 am and 2:30 to 4:40 pm every day and to staff Check Point Charlie from 7am-7pm every day. The Hanson Ranch Road check point was staffed from Dec 15th through Jan 4th, Check Point Charlie continues to be manned 7am-7pm every day. To accomplish the experiment on Hanson Ranch Road, an unbudgeted temporary CSO was hired for 9 of the 21 days involved. On two of the days, on-duty CSOs were pulled from other duties and assigned to Hanson Ranch Road, and on ten days off-duty police officers, CEOs and CSOs were paid overtime to perform the duties. The total 21 day cost of the Hanson Ranch Road experiment was approximately $2,000. The expanded hours at Check Point Charlie are being staffed both by pulling on-duty CEOs and CSOs from other duties and by hiring CEOs, CSOs and police officers on overtime. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town should continue to man Check Point Charlie 7am-7pm, seven days per week, 365 days per year. This service positively impacts the entire village core, numerous businesses and provides a valuable customer service to our guests, however, continuing to do so year round will require additional staffing. Staff recommends that the Hanson Ranch Road check point not be continued because it's limited benefit is not cost effective. 11. Town Manager Report. (10 mins.) 12.
