The Intergovernmental Agreement to be adopted furthers those goals.. It is the intention of the municipalities to enter into an agreement with the , County to employ sound regionally oriented planning principles that encourage the fiollowing: A. Concentration of planned and needed growth and density in municipalities where such growth is more efficiently and cost effectively served by centralized infrastructure and services and where its location will help preserve open spaces and agricultural land. B. Coordination of land use decisions between the County and municipalities within those areas identified by the municipalities and the County within which land use change will have a significant impact on either the County or municipality.

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: February 13, 1998 RE: Assessment of Publicly Held Lands Bus Tour/Discussion of Community Engagement Process Attached to this memorandum is a summary of the work that we have completed this week in preparation for moving forward with the Council's housing goals and objectives. As indicated on the document, the f rst page outlines the Town of Vail's roles with regard to affordable housing, defines the statement of problem for this issue, and outlines the givens for this process. This document was put together with the participation of many of the Department Directors, Andy Knudtsen, Todd Oppenheimer, Greg Hall, Susie Hervert and John Gulick. Four Council members also attended this session. Council members in attendance included Michael Arnett, Rob Ford, Michael Jewett and Sybill Navas. Our original intention was to identify a process for making the funding decision for affordable housing independent of sites. However, during our discussions it became apparent that we needed to include siting considerations for housing, as well as parks, public facilities and open space as part of this effort. Therefore this process became more complex than originally anticipated. In accordance with your discussion at the Council Retreat we have provided four alternatives for proceeding with this effort. For each option we have identified the steps in the process with an approximate time frame for each of the steps in the sequence of decisions to be made. We have also included a discussion of process implications for each of these options. Option 1 provides a"fast track" analysis which will identify a permanent funding source for housing as well as a siting package for affordable housing, parks, public facilities and open space. This process would be completed by June 30, 1998. RECYCLEDPAPER r Option 2 will develop a comprehensive financial and siting package for the Town of Vail's housing, parks, public facilities and open space needs. Option No. 2 is similar to the first alternative except that it provides much more detail and accuracy with respect to site planning and financial ramifications. As indicated in the document, this process would take approximately 12 months before it would be finalized. Option 3 provides no public participation for creating a funding source or identifying sites and, basically allows the Council to move directly to selecting a project and moving forward with construction immediately. Option 4launches a seasonal housing project immediately while simultaneously conducting a public process to identify the permanent funding source for housing and open space needs. While each of these alternatives have advantages and disadvantages, it is my feeling that we proceed with Option No. 1. This would provide decisions in a timely manner while not violating the Council's commitment to "open, honest and fair" processes. You should be aware that both Options No. 1 and No. 2 will require additional expenditures above and beyond what is currently budgeted. It will be necessary for you to fund this through a supplemental appropriation later this year. Although we are still working on this budget, the order of magnitude costs for Option 1 and 2 and 4 is in the $200,000 range. These funds would be used to hire site planning expertise, financial expertise (to conduct proformas) as well as mapping and aerial photography needs. We look forward to continuing this discussion with you Tuesday. If you have questions or need additional information prior to Tuesday's meeting, please do not hesitate to call us. RWM/aw attachments Town of Vail Council and Staff Planning Session February 10, 1998 !n attendance: Michael Arnett, Rob Ford, Michael Jewett, Sybill Navas, plus TOV staff Group decision regarding TOV's role with reqard to affordable housina: 1) Land provision / site acquisition, including existing units 2) Facilitator, including incentivizing Facilitator means: --Partnerships with the private sector, including providing land --TOV could create a new zoned district--employee-type housing 3) Site-specific subsidies 4) Regulation / approval 5) Condemnation for public use 6) Service provider (e.g. police services, bus, etc.) Group agreement to: 1) TOV needs a plan 2) The plan should include both funding sources and siting decisions Definition of problem (affordable housing onlv) • The economic viability of the community is being threatened by the lack of employee housing • There is an increased competition for employees within Vail and down-valley • People are moving down-valley and we are losing our sense of community • Housing that is affordable is not available • Second homeowners are willing to pay large amounts for housing Givens 1) Final decision will be made by TOV Council for the community good. 2) Funding sources for affordable housing will be identified and implemented. 3) TOV will fill the role of facilitator in providing housing; that role includes --land provision/site acquisition, including existing units --facilitator/incentivizing --site-specific subsidies --regulator/approval --condemnation for public use --service provider (PD, bus, etc.) 4) Process is open to all who want to participate; however, Council must be most responsible to Vail interests, residents, employers, employees. 5) Because failure to have a time line has, in the past, resulted in failure to resolve the problem, the Town of Vail has set June 30 to have these funding and siting decisions made so a project(s) can be underway in 1998. 6) Projects that are already underway will proceed. 7) All ideas for public uses are welcome. 8) All sites and funding sources will be considered in the context of the overall community good. All participants will be encouraged to look at community-wide impacts rather than site-specific impacts. 9) In making these decisions, compromise will be necessary. 10) Some currentfy undeveloped public lands wili be developed for community purposes. 11) Land within designated open space will not be used for (check charter language). 12) The process will focus on projects that affect land use, (e.g. not maintenance). 13) To reverse the trends identified in the problem statement, the TOV will facilitate the construction or acquisition of a minimum of 50 affordable housing units a year until we have 62 % of employees living within the Town of Vail, or until the crisis is averted in other ways. Role of participants in the siting and funding public process: • Bring ideas for funding and community public use needs • Respond to criteria lists and evatuate • React to list of possible funding options and siting alternatives Sequence of Decisions Option # 1 Goal: To identify a permanent funding source for housing, as well as a siting package for Vail's housing, parks, public facilities and open space needs by June 30, 1998. STEP 1 2/8 to 3/23 TOV Determines... • General estimate of funding needed to accomplish housing goal (see given) • Inventory of potentiai sites • Draft list of criteria to evaluate funding options • Draft list of criteria to evaluate siting alternatives (2/8 to 3/1) STEP 2 3/1 to 4/16 Community... • Identifies community uses and needs • Generates ideas for funding sources • Responds to criteria for funding and siting "Anything that should be a criterion? Anything missing?" Methods --Mailed survey 311 to 413 --Interviews --Combined open house/forum/workshops 4110 to 4116 COMMUNICATE ALL INFORMATION TO DATE STEP 3 4/20 to 5/22 TOV... • Applies criteria and identifies funding options • Applies criteria for siting and develops multiple comprehensive packages of maps addressing each of the four categories of need STEP 4 6/1 to 6/8 Community Responds to... • Funding options • Siting Alternatives "What do you like about the options/alternatives and why?" Methods --Public Workshops STEP 5 6/10 Internal Process "Checkpoint" (This is an internal TOV assessment of the process, to date, to confirm that the process schedule can be met.) COMMUNICATE ALL INFORMATION TO DATE STEP 6 6/8 to 6/12 TOV Develops... • Final funding package • Final siting plan STEP 7 6/12 to 6/25 Community opportunity for... • Final response "Here's what you said. Here's what we did. Here's what we're about to do." Methods --Newspaper ad --Informational mailing STEP 8 6/30 Vail Town Council... • Acts on funding and siting packages forwarded for action NEXT STEPS: IMPLEMENTATION PRODUCTS Option # 1 Process Implications • Opportunity for citizen involvement. • Momentum maintained; it's fast. • Best process that offers community response by June 30 deadline. • Best process to fast-track a seasonal housing development. • People may not have the time they'd like to consider the options. • Final product may not be of the same quality as other town plans. (Open Lands plan took 12 months) • Final product will be incomplete; there will be unanswered questions related to site development. • Decision may not hold (e.g. court, recall, referendum); momentum could become slowed or stalled. • Community understanding and buy-in could be reduced when compared to longer process. • Increased load on Council, Staff and Community. • Decisions could be based on faulty assumptions with inadequate research. • Quality consultants may be hesitant to come on board due to time and availability. • Cost of project. Option #2 Sequence of Decisions Goal: To develop a comprehensive financial and siting package for the Town of Vail's housing, parks, public facilities and open space needs. STEP 1 2/18 to 3/4 TOV Develops... • Problem statement, including time frame, givens, goal, TOV role STEP 2 3/4 to 3/17 Community... • Responds, validates problem statement, etc.; TOV revises as necessary STEP 3 2/18 to 3/20 TOV Determines... • Criteria STEP 4 3/20 to 4/27 Community... 0 Identifies all possible community uses STEP 5 6/1 to 6/5 Community... • Responds to criteria/validates and generates possible uses on maps (sites) STEP 6 6/1 to 9/1 TOV... • Applies siting criteria and generates comprehensive alternative packages for siting and uses STEP 7 9/1 to 9/15 Community... • Responds/validates (week 1) • Generates funding ideas and funding criteria ideas (week 2) • TOV synthesizes into 1 siting package STEP 8 9/22 Council... • Acts on siting STEP 9 9/23 to 10/12 TOV... • Applies cost and revenue analysis to siting package and develops draft criteria for funding for housing and all uses STEP 10 10/12 to 10/16 Community... • Responds to criteria and validates; TOV revises as necessary STEP 11 10/16 to 12/31 TOV... • Applies criteria to develop funding options STEP 12 1/1 to 1/31 Community... • Reviews funding options; TOV synthesizes into funding package STEP 13 2/2 Council... 0 Acts on funding package Option # 2 Implications • Increased time. • Could lose momentum. • Greater level of community understanding. • More consistent with spirit of town's commitment to open, honest and fair process. • Greater Council understanding of community preferences regarding funding and siting, which translates into political supportability for subsequent council actions. • Provides a complete product for development of sites. • Enables the town to move quickly in the event town chooses to implement the more compiicated options, specifically those involving bond issuance. • Perception of "over processing." • Serves as a platform for construction, especially regarding complicated siting or financing developments. • Comprehensive product could be more defensible, long-lasting in the community. • Cost of project. OPTION # 3 Goal: Because the lack of local employee-base and locals housing are at crisis proportions, the Vail Town Council believes it would be irresponsible for the Town of Vail not to move rapidly to: 1) identify a permanent funding source for locals housing, and 2) begin moving dirt to generate 50 new units a year until the crisis is averted. No Citizen Involvement Process • Specific project decisions and funding source policy are made on a case-by-case basis without a structured citizen involvement process. Policies could include funding sources, target market, etc. Citizen opportunities to respond to town decisions and express concerns would be through the regular public hearing process at Council meetings and through individual contact with Councilmembers. Option # 3 Implications • It's fast at the beginning. • Momentum is maintained up front. • Short-term savings of staff time, resources. • Decision may not hold (e.g. court, recall, referendum); momentum could become slowed or stalled. • Loss of trust, credibility built over last two years. • Inconsistent with TOV community invo(vement philosophy. • Chances of full implementation are greatly diminished. Option # 4 Goal: To launch a seasonal housing project, while simultaneously launching a public process to identify a permanent funding source for housing, as well as a siting package for Vail's housing, parks, public facilities and open space needs. Option # 4 Implications • Launching a new project while also launching a public process raises a siting and financial fairness question that could compromise both efforts. • Sites a major housing use. • Unable to fast-track a Lionshead parking structure development (or other "big splash" projects) until a funding source is identified. ~ TOWN OF VAIL BUS TOUR OF OPEN LAND5 February 17,1998 1.

McLaurin, Town Manager R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney DATE: February 11, 1998 SUBJECT: TCI Negotiations On February 20, 1998 we will be meeting with Fred Lutz to discuss modifications to the current Franchise Agreement in light of TCI's failure to build out the system as required by the current Franchise Agreement. We are interested in receiving from Town Council clear direction as to the approach to be taken by the Town of Vail in this negotiation. Enclosed you will find copies of E3SI's Conclusions and Recommendations which were presented to you in a report which evaluated the present system and ended with recommendations. If someone needs the complete report, Tom has five in his office and they are easily capable of copying. Also attached is a letter addressed to Tom with the comments of Carl Pilnick. Carl is the consultant that worked with us at the time the Franchise Agreement was negotiated. We look forward to discussion of these and other items concerning the negotiations pertaining to the Franchise Agreement. Thanks. RWM/RTM/aw Attachments f \council.mem ~ • RECYCLEDPAPER w E3SI Conclusions and Recommendations ~ E3SI's assessment of the activities which have occurred by the Cable ~ Operator in the Vail system, in our opinion, is a respectful start in making the Vail cable system a technically acceptable platform for today's services ~ and scale for the future. However, these steps are only partial steps that we at E3SI see as necessary to arrive at the more elevated distinction which the .,yy Franchise Document of 1995 contemplated. Therefore, E3SI hereby ~ recommends the following steps be taken by the Cable Operator with regard - to extending, upgrading and adding components to its cable systemto ~ elevate it to a level of technical competency, in the Town of Vail: RECCOMENDATION STATUS JA 1. Eliminate the AML Completed ~ 2. Extend Fiber beyond node l, to 2 new nodes. ComPleted 3. Upgrade the analog capacity from 330 MHz to 400 MHz, being the capacity of 12 new analog channels, within a reasonable time frame. 4. Require the addition of 3 more digital channels ~ or the availability of 36 more digital programming sources at 12 to 1 compression, within a reasonable ra time frame. . 5. Require a consistent maintenance program be ~ implemented, with reporting to the Town Manager, including cut cable, pedestal damage and relocation ~ requests logged by incident. If the Cable Operator agrees to the above, the Vail cable television system ~ will have the following specifications: Analog Capacity - 54 MHz to 400 MHz or 46 analog channels Digital Capacity - 6 channels at 12 to 1 compression or ~ 72 digital channels Total Programming Availability = 118 channels h' E'SI Vail Page 18 . ~ . v .s_ RECEIVED JAN 5 1998 , _ 7!!~ TELECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CORP. 5757 WiIshire Blvo • Suite 635 • Los Angeles.

Thomas Moorhead Town Attorney . - Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Tom: Please forgive the delay in responding to your letter of December 5, 1997. I have reviewed the report presented to the Town by Enhanced Video, Voice & Data Systems, Inc. (E3SI). My comments are as follows: (1) The replacement of the microwave Amplitude Modulated Link (AML) by an optical fiber linking the headend to the Town is a significant improvement. However, TCI has generally been replacing AML with fiber in almost all of their systems, to achieve higher channel capacity and better reliability and performance. As the E3SI report indicates, in the signal-to-noise measurements, the cable system apparentlv could not meet mandated FCC standards until the optical fiber link replaced the AML. Therefore, this improvement, while valuable, is not seen as any sFecial concession to the Town. (2) TCI, within the recent year or so, has "standardized" its cable system upgrade approach to conform to that which is now being proposed for Vail. While the E3SI report is accurate in its discussion of digital compression advances, in my opinion the reason that TCI is now promoting this approach is not technical superiority but reduced cost, and also the conviction that competition from the telephone company is not likely. If an expansion of channel capacity is the primary goal, then digital compression can achieve this. If, however, cable system ~ t . Mr. R. Thomas Moorhead ? Town of Vail December 29, 1997 Page 2 reliabilitv and the capability for two-wav services are considered equal]:y important, then the proposed upgrade is deficient, compared to the upgrade contained in the franchise agreement. First, an upgrade to 400 MHz (40 anaZog channels) capacity, as recommended by E3SI, would leave most of the - current system components in place, so that the system will still be an 18-20 year old system. Secondly, the capacity for interactive services would be minimal. With three fiber optic nodes serving 6,000 subscribers, each node would presumably serve an average of about 2,000 subscribers. This larger number of subscribers, sharing the limited upstream bandwidth, would restrict the cable system from offering, for example, many telephony and data communications services. Consequently, there are some significant drawbacks to the proposed upgrade. I am not taking the position that the approach is unacceptable, but rather that it represents fewer benefits to the Town, which perhaps should be compensated in any modification to the franchise agreement. Sincerely, . CARL PILNICK President ORDINANCE NO. 3 Series of 1998 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING A SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT - SDD No. 30 (VAIL ATHLETIC CLUB) AND ORDINANCE #2, SERIES OF 1996, TO ALLOW FOR A CHANGE IN THE NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS/ACCOMMODATION UNITS, - MODIFICATIONS IN COMMON AREA SQUARE FOOTAGE AND GRFA; MODIFICATION OF THE EHU TIMING REQUIREMENTS; AND AMENDING THE . DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH TITLE 12, CHAPTER 9, OF THE - VAIL MUNICIPAL CODE AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO. , WHEREAS, Title 12, Chapter 9, of the Vail Municipal Code authorizes special development districts within the Town; and WHEREAS, the developer and applicant, JWT 1987 Vail Limited Partnership (aka The Vail Athletic Club), has submitted an application for a Major Special Development District Amendment for a certain parcel of property within the Town, known as the Vail Athletic Club and as Special Development District No. 30 ("SDD No. 30"); and WHEREAS, the Major Special Development District Amendment for SDD No. 30 will ensure unified and coordinated development within the Town of Vail in a manner suitable for the area in which it is situated; and WHEREAS, the Planning and Environmental Commission has unanimously recommended approval of the amendment to the SDD at its February 9, 1998 meeting; and WHEREAS, the Town Council considers that it is reasonable, appropriate, and beneficial to the Town and its citizens, inhabitants, and visitors to amend SDD No. 30. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, THAT: Section 1. Amendment Procedures Fulfilled Planning Commission ReportThe review procedures prescribed in Title 12, Chapter 9, of the Vail Municipal Code have been fulfilled, and the Town Council has received the report of the Planning and Environmental Commission recommending approval of the proposed amendment to the development plan for SDD No. 30. Section 2. Special Development District No 30 SDD No. 30 and the amended development plan therefore, are hereby approved for the redevelopment of The Vail Athletic Club. Ordinance No. 3 ~ Series of 1998 ~ Section 3. Purpose SDD No. 30 is established to insure comprehensive development and use of an area in a manner that will be harmonious with the general character of the Town of Vail. The development is regarded as complementary to the Town by the Town Council and meets the design standards as set forth in Title 12, Chapter 9, of the Municipal Code. As stated in the staff memorandum dated September 27, 1993, there are significant aspects of SDD No. 30 which are difficult to satisfy through the imposition of the standards of the Public Accommodation Zone District. SDD No. 30 allows for greater flexibility in the development of the land than would be possible under the current zoning of the property. SDD No. 30 provides an appropriate development plan that maintains the unique character of this site and the surrounding area. Section 4. Development Plan A. The amended development plan for SDD No. 30 is approved and shall constitute the plan for development within the Special Development District. The amended development plan is comprised of those plans submitted by the developer/applicant and consists of the following documents: 1. Site Plan and Landscape Plan by JMP Architects.

Ford, Mayor ' . Attest: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk Ordinance No. 3 8 Series of 1998 s , MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 9, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District #30, Vail Athletic Club, to allow for modifications to the parking garage, restaurant, accommodation and dwelling units, and common areas within the building, located at 352 East Meadow Drive/Parcels A& B, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: JWT 1987 Limited Partnership, represented by Stan Cope and John Perkins Planners: Mike Mollica/Reed Onate 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The Vail Athletic Club (JWT 1987 Limited Partnership), represented by Stan Cope and John Perkins, has submitted a request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District (SDD) #30 (as amended by Ordinance #2, Series of 1996) to allow for modifications to the parking garage, restaurant, common areas, and accommodation and dwelling units. The specific requested modifications to the Vail Athletic Club development plan includes the following: *Garage/Ski Storage: The addition of 240 square feet for ski locker storage on the Garage Level. As a result of interior use changes, a reduction in the parking requirement from 24 to 22 spaces would allow more area for trash staging and ski locker storage. *Restaurant: Increase of 96 sq. ft. of interior restaurant space within a"pop-ouY' on the south elevation of the First Floor. Overall, the changes to the restaurant includes an expanded kitchen area and a net decrease in public seating areas. *Common Area: Increase of 105 sq. ft. for a maid closet on the Second Floor in an area previously open to the floor below. *AUs: Elimination of two accommodation units on the Fourth Floor and the conversion of a dwelling unit to a"Presidential Suite" accommodation unit. Due to guest rooms that are accessible via a stairway to the "Presidential Suite" the net total of accommodation rooms (and beds) available would not change. 1 '`DUs: Elimination of one dwelling unit (as noted above) and expansion of one dwelling unit on the Fourth and Fifth Floors, including expanding exterior walls totaling 62 sq. ft. The eliminated " accommodation units, dwelling unit conversion, hallway conversion, and wall relocation would create the additional square footage for the dwelling unit. Please find attached 8'/zx11 reductions of the proposed floor plans. The proposed changes would have minor impacts to the exterior of the building. The proposed exterior changes include: 1) the addition of a"pop-out" for the restaurant on the south elevation, 2) a 34 sq. ft. expansion of exterior double doors onto the balconies of the Fourth Floor dwelling unit on the south elevation, and 3) the expansion of 28 square feet of Fifth Floor dwelling unit space on the north elevation. Overall, the parking requirements for this SDD do not change as a result of the amendments described above. An additional change to the Special Development District (SDD) #30 (Ordinance #2, Series of 1996) is proposed concerning the provision and timing of Employee Housing Units. Staff believes that the need for the employee housing units would come after the Vail Athletic Club is operational. Thus, a change in the timing of the requirement of the EHU restrictions should come at the time of the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, rather than "Building PermiY" issuance, as the ordinance currently reads. The proposed changes to Section 4.13.10 of the Ordinance are shown in bolded text below. The developer shall provide four (4) Type IV Employee Housing Units on-site, which shall be restricted per §12-13 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code prior to the release of any Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the project. Additionally, the developer shall provide one one-bedroom employee housing unit and one two-bedroom employee housing unit. These employee housing units shall be located off-site, shall be located within the Town of Vail municipal boundary and shall be restricted per §12-13 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The employee housing restriction agreement shall be signed and submitted to the staff for approval before a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy will be released for the project. The units shall meet the minimum standards according to Chapter 18.57 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. II. AMENDMENT PROCEDURE The proposed amendments described in Section I are considered to be Major Amendments to the 1993 approved SDD and subsequent amendments. As stated in the Zoning Code §12-9A-2, a major amendment is defined as follows: - "Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved Special Development District . . 2 Since the applicant's proposed amendments to the SDD involve changes to gross residential floor area, as well as density (number of units), the proposal is required to follow the Major SDD Amendment procedure. The PEC shall provide a recommendation to the Town Council regarding the proposal. The Town Council shall approve the proposal via two readings of an ordinance. III. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA As provided for in §12-9A-8 of the Town's Municipal Code, there are nine SDD review criteria which are to be used to evaluate the merits of a proposed Major SDD Amendment. It should be noted that the staff analysis of the project's compliance with the SDD review criteria has only focused on the proposed amendments to the SDD, and not on the balance of the 1993 or 1996 approvals. The review criteria, and the staff's analysis of the proposal's compliance with the review criteria, are as follows: A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Minimal architectural changes are proposed to the design of the building. The overall scale, and mass and bulk of the proposed structure will generally remain as it was approved in 1993 and subsequently amended. The primary roof forms (and building ' height) will also remain as approved in 1993. The following outlines the areas where there are proposed changes to the architectural design of the structure: • Restaurant "pop ouY" (south elevation). • Fourth Floor balcony door expansion (south elevation). • Fifth Floor dweliing unit expansion (north elevation). Staff does not believe these changes will significantly affect the bulk and scale of the building. The restaurant "pop-out" will expand the building on the south elevation by 96 sq. ft., however, staff believes the site coverage is generally imperceivable as the restaurant area is located over a building mass below. The exterior expansion on two of the Fourth Floor dwelling unit balconies totals 34 sq. ft. The exterior expansion of one wall on the Fifth Floor of the same dwelling unit totals 28 sq. ft. Staff believes these expansions are minimal, architecturally, but they would add GRFA as discussed below. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The general uses within the redeveloped Vail Athletic Club (VAC) are not proposed to change. While one accommodation unit would be eliminated, the overall number of accommodation unit beds (rooms) would not change due to an expanded "Presidential Suite." Staff is comfortable with this reconfiguration of accommodation and dwelling units. Given that the applicant is generally working within the confines of the 1993 approved building envelope, the staff views the proposed interior changes as minimal. Alternatively, staff cannot support exterior dwelling unit alterations on the Fourth and Fifth Floors that would add approximately 62 sq. ft. of GRFA (34 sq. ft. for two balcony door expansions plus 28 sq, ft added by expanding a north wall one foot). 3 While the expansions would enhance the dwelling units vaiue, the overall benefit to the public is not clearly apparent. The increase in GRFA density beyond the approved Fourth and Fifth Floor building envelope is not an integral necessity associated with the function or use of the condominium dwelling unit. Expansions within existing interior spaces are found by staff to be acceptable given the shift in density within the building envelope and incorporation of common area square footage. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52. Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the SDD are in compliance with this criteria. The Town's zoning requirement is for a total of 22 parking spaces to be provided on the site. This proposal would reduce the number of required parking spaces from 24 to 22. Staff supports this reduction in on-site parking. The reduction of two spaces would allow for improved trash and recycfing storage access and a 240 sq. ft. ski locker area. Previous design solutions proposed by the applicant included moving the trash storage to the alley access between the Vail Athletic Club and the Mountain House. Staff opposed this previous trash location due to potential land use conflicts with the neighboring residential uses. D. Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans. • VAIL LAND USE PLAN The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process for new or amended development proposals. The staff considered the following Land Use Plan Goals/Policies during the initial review of the 1993 SDD establishment for the Vail Athletic Club, and further, staff believes that these goals and policies continue to be applicable with regard to the current Major SDD Amendment proposal: 1_1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1_3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 3_3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 4_2 Increased density in the core areas is acceptabfe so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 4_3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 4 , With the exception of the exterior expansion to the Fourth/Fifth Floor dwelling unit, staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the goals and policies of the Land Use Plan as described above. VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN The staff believes that the 1993 approval for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club carried out many of the goals and objectives contained in the Vail Village Master Plan. Additionally, the staff believes that the current Major SDD Amendment proposal also furthers the following Master Plan's goals and objectives: Goal #1 -Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. Objective 1.2 - Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal #2 - To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. Obiective 2.3 - Increase the number of residential units available for short term overnight accommodations. Policy 2.3.1 - The development of short term accommodation units is strongly encouraged. Residential units that are developed above existing density levels are required to be designed or managed in a manner that makes them available for short term overnight rental. Objective 2.5 - Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to befter serve the needs of our guests. Goal #5 - Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics of the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. Polick5.1.5 - Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground or visually concealed parking. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment application meets the Vail Village Master Flan goals, objectives, and policies as described above. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Although this project is located adjacent to Gore Creek, no portion of the proposal encroaches into the fifty-foot stream setback, nor into the 100-year floodplain. There are no other natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. 5 Although this criteria was discussed extensively during the 1993 review, staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no negative impacts on this criteria. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. The staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. Again, the staff believes that the proposed Major SDD Amendment will have no impacts on this criteria. 1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Phase I of the VAC redevelopment has been completed (Club Levels - lowest two floors). The balance of the redevelopment is considered Phase II. ' IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department staff believes that the applicant's proposed modifications are consistent with the criteria outlined in §12-9A-8 of the Municipal Code with the exception of a 62 sq. ft. expansion of exterior GRFA proposed for the Fourth and Fifth Floor dwelling unit. Staff recommends denial of the proposed 62 sq. ft. of additional GRFA mentioned above, and furthermore, staff recommends approval of the remaining elements of the applicant's request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District #30 (including Ordinance #2, Series of 1996) as detailed in Section I of this staff inemo. 6 a~ ~ Ctb V ~ p u Val*t Athtet-I* c ,,.a =U ~ ~ ~ Expansion and Renovat'ton ~ ~o J w -East Meadow Dr'tve aZ Va'lt 'Colorado 9 ~S SUBMITTAL FOR °~rt MAJOR AMMENDMENT TO THE S.D.D.

A request for a major amendment to Special Development District #30 (VAC), to allow for a change in the number of dwelling unitslaccommodation units and a modification in GRFA, located at the Vail Athletic Club, 352 E. Meadow Drive/Parcels A& B, Vail Village First Filing. • Applicant: JWT 1987 Limited Partnership, represented by John Perkins Planner: Mike Mollica Reed Onate gave an overview of the staff inemo. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant had anything to add. Stan Cope stated he would be available for questions. Greg Moffet asked for any public comments. There were none. Mike Mollica stated for the record that he received a fax from Jack Lambert, General Manager for the Mountain Haus, saying that he was concerned about a trash enclosure on the southwest corner of building which would affect the Mountain Haus. However, Mike said the trash enclosure was withdrawn from the application. Galen Aasland said the application was consistent with the criteria and he had no problem with the additional two balconies, as they would make it more interesting. He did not agree with the additional square footage on the Fifth Floor north elevation. He said lhis app{ication was within the intent of the SDD. Diane Golden asked if the AU's would have lock-off ability. Stan Cope said no, but a luxury hotel should have -a-presidential -suite and it was not unusual to have 2 bedrooms in this suite. Diane Golden asked if a presidential suite is rented out more frequently. Stan Cope said yes, with it rented more in the summer for top end conferences. Planning and Environmentai Commission Minutes February 9,1998 1 John Schofield had no comments. Gene Uselton asked where the extra 62 sq. ft. was. Stan Cope said it was within the unit. Gene Uselton asked if it was important to the project. Stan Cope said the room needed 18" to make it more functional, with no change in price because of the additional sq. footage. Greg Amsden had no comments. Greg Moffet was in agreement with Galen and also had no problem with the balconies. He was more concerned with adding GRFA on the north side. Stan Cope expfained that since the approval in 1993, the DU sq footages have gone up and down. He said he didn't believe this was outside the original intent: Greg Moffet asked if the 18" would be extended out on the 5th floor. John Perkins, the architect for the Vail Athletic Club, said there would be minimal effect on bulk, because it happens on the east end and dies into the elevator mass and so will never be . perceived as a change in plane. He said the upper bedroom needed the extra space to be functional. He said it will not be seen as cantilevered and that the roof line was not changing. Lynn Fritzlen and Ken Overstreet, architects for the condominium owner, explained the plans to the PEC. John Perkins said it was using dead space. Ken Overstreet said the wall was 7'6". Lynn Fritzlen explained when working on renovation projects, some things just don't line up. John Schofield made a motion for a recommendation, as requested by the applicant, to the Town Council. Gene Uselton seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 6-0. 2. A request for additional GRFA utilizing the 250 ordinance, to allow for a remodel, located at 1998 Sunburst Drive/Lot 19, Vail Valley 3rd Filing.

McLaurin, Town Managern-- DATE: February 13, 1998 RE: Seibert Circle Art Project Attached to this memo is the proposed project schedule and budget for the Seibert Circle Public Art Proj ect. As you are aware, we have been working on this design for the last two years, and it appears that we have consensus from the adjacent property owners and the AIPP Board on the design and the project is ready to move forward. Nancy Sweeney will make a presentation to you at the evening meeting regarding the various aspects of the proposed design. As indicated in the project budget the scope and cost of this project has increased. There are several reasons for the increase in the proposed budget. The addition of the statute of Pete Seibert added approximately $71,000. Secondly, and more significantly, we have expanded the scope of the project to go from building front to building front. Our original design only included property line to property line. We believe the expansion of the proj ect is crucial to the design. As indicated in the budget the total property cost, including design, engineering fees, contingency and the statue of Pete Seibert is $799,319. We have at this point in time, budgeted $617,000. As you may recall, $95,000 was budged in FY1996 and 1997 and $522,000 in 1998. Obviously, this leaves a shortfall of approximately $183,000. The Council needs to decide how you wish to proceed with this project. There are several alternatives which you may wish to consider. The first includes taking this additional funds from the Capital Projects fund balance. Another alternative involves phasing this project in over more than one fiscal year. You may wish to consider deleting one of other streetscape projects currently proposed in the Vail Village to provide these additional funds. Finally, you may wish to redesign the project to make it less expensive or defer it indefinitely. L~ XECYCLEDPAPER Another issue which we need to discuss is whether you wish to bid the project, or if you would allow us to negotiate with a contractor. The window for construction is April, May and June in order not to inordinately disrupt the Village during the peak summer season. Therefore if you would like to proceed with this project in 1998 we would ask you authorize us to negotiate with a contractor. I realize that the cost of this project has escalated since its initial conception almost three years ago. However, I do believe that we have come up with a very good design which will significantly improve the appearance and functionality of upper Bridge Street. I feel very strongly that we should proceed with this project even if it means deleting other streetscape projects currently programed for the Vail Village. We look forward to a lively discussion with you Tuesday evening. RWM/aw attachments , .

With HITDA designation, our counties became eligible to apply for new federal drug enforcement grants. Late last year, the Vail Police Department in cooperation with the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, the Glenwood Springs Police Department, the Garfield County Sheriffs Office, the Grand Junction Police Department, the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, the Eagle County District Attorney's Office and the Garfield County District Attorney's Office submitted a unified grant request for HITA funds. Our grant request was approved. Vail PD and the Eagle County Sheriff's Office have jointly received $207,000 for drug enforcement in Eagle County for 1998. This grant will only fund additional drug enforcement, it cannot fund existing positions, except for overtime. The grant will fully fund two full time police positions (including all benefits), lease two cars, buy radios and other equipment, fund drug purchases, travel, training, and will fimd overtime for these two positions and other officers who assist them. This grant is a reimbursement grant, we must expend the funds first and get reimbursement on a quarterly basis. There is no requirement for local matching funds for this grant, it is 100% funded by the Federal Government. The grant is funded 1 year at a time and requires re-submittal for each subsequent year. The Drug Enforcement Administration believes these grants will continue to be funded for at least 3 to 4 years. The Sheriff and I each would hire one additional officer for the duration of this grant funding, those two officers will be teamed up with Vail's existing drug detective forming a task force of three officers. Vail's additional position would be eliminated upon the expiration of the grant. I believe that I will need a supplemental appropriation of approximately $104,000 for our half of the expenses associated with this grant, all of which will be reimbursed by the Federal Government. , FEB-10-1998 17:57 VAIL RECREATION DIST. 303 479 2197 P.01 MiNUTES TtEGULAR MEETtNG VAII.

While I'm confident that I was passionate enough (too much perhaps?) about the difficulty of redevelopment; I don't think I stressed enough how much we need your help. I don't mean to suggest that this problem is yours alone to solve. Rather, it is really up to the fourteen different condominium properties that comprise most of Lionshead's infrastructure. But as I said, the task is difficult to say the least, so your help is crucial. ~ In addition to accomplishing the communities goal's identified in the masterplan project, redevelopment is also critical to the basic improvement of our lodging product. As we have discussed before and as the Vail Tomorrow effort has addressed, a frightening number of our guests feel that they are not getting good value for their ~ lodging dollar. The importance of this problem to Vail's ongoing , success cannot be overemphasized, and if you'd like more information on that point I'd be happy to provide it. Fixing up the exterior of buildings goes hand in hand with the improvement of the common areas, the accommodations themselves, and everything that contributes to our guests' lodging experience. I hope you agree that we simply cannot afford the "no-action" alternative, from either a legislative or a functional standpoint.

Specifically, the Vail Town Council is exploring various approaches tfiat would address future building height and mass within the 154-acre study area. Once completed, the five-stage process will serve as a framework for decision-making on specific development 2nd redevelopment proposals for all private and public lands within Lionshead. During the public forums, the pros and cons of various height and mass approaches will be presented by members of the Lionshead project team. The presentations are at 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 and repeated at 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16. The public forums will last approximately two hours each and will be held in the Community Room at the Vail Public Library. Parking in the Lionshead structure is free after 3 p.m. Anyone interested in the Lionshead Master Plan process is encouraged to attend. The various approaches now under consideration by the Vail Town Council include height and mass concepts as they relate to the quality of public spaces, as weH as height and mass in relationship to the surrounding buildings and overall context of Lionshead, said Mike Mollica, the town's project manager. Existing conditions also are likely to play a significant role in the discussion, Mollica said. Eighty-four percent of the existing buildings in Lionshead are at or in excess of their allowed (more) ~ • RECYCLED PAPER r Lionshead Public Forums/Add 1 building height under applicable zoning regulations. Also, 71 percent of the existing buildings in Lionshead meet or exceed the permitted GRFA (gross residential floor area) under applicable zoning district regulations. This is because many of the buildings were built prior to the adoption of zoning regulations for the area. "Based upon the existing conditions in Lionshead, we, as a community, need to take a Icsok at the underlying zoning and determine if the current height ' restrictions are adequate to review future development proposals in the area," Mollica said. The Town Council will continue its discussions on height and mass concepts throughout February and most of March. Following its decision on a preferred rationale for height and mass, the Council will authorize a work plan and a schedule of public meetings for stage four, the development and adoption of the master plan itself. To date, the master plan process has identified: six community policy objectives; six urban design principles; five public view corridors; 173 "wish IisY" ideas generated by the public; and 14 framework concepts that address gateways, corridors and public gathering places, along with employee housing sites, additional parking, and a desire to connect the east and west ends of Lionshead. The so-called "bold stroke" transit corridor concept will likely be a recurring topic of discussion " at the upcoming public forums, given concerns expressed by numerous property owners. However, Mollica says the matter may be a moot point. The concept has been nixed by the Town Council for the near-term, given the town's current transit technology, which is unsuitable for an east-west connection through the heart of Lionshead. Instead, the Council has agreed to consider the concept as a long-term option, according to Mollica.

The proposal includes moving the bus stop slightly to the northeast to allow for additional space in the plaza and removal of four trees to allow for additional pedestrian lines of sight, resting places and additional sunlight. Councilmembers expressed support for the concept. Next steps include: Request for final approval from the Design Review Board on February 18, 1998, with construction to begin spring of `98. --VRD Conditional Use Permit Review Process . The Council approved a request by the Vail Recreation District to proceed through the public process regarding a proposal to move the VRD offices from the basement of the Library to the Ford Park tennis center. Since the Town of Vail is the owner of Ford Park, the Council's permission is required in order for the VRD to move forward with its request for a conditional use permit. Issues yet to be resolved during the review process include returning the six-to-eight parking spaces currently assigned to the VRD in the lot adjacent to the hospital; reducing the number of blue passes and debit cards VRD annually receives from the town; and addressing parking concerns in Ford Park. For more information, contact George Ruther at 479-2145. --Joint Work Session with the PEC re: Lionshead Building Height and Mass During a discussion of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, Ethan Moore of the consulting firm Design Workshop, presented several design concepts aimed at enhancing the public spaces in Lionshead. The suggestions inctude: creation of retail activity located at grade on both sides of the street; narrowing the width of the retail streets to resemble Bridge St. in Vail Village; stepping building heights back from streets to improve pedestrian scale; creating sun pockets at intersections to serve as magnets to draw pedestrians through the spaces; and creation of build-to lines. Also discussed yesterday were four approaches that could be used to address future building height. One possibility, he said, is to retain the existing height limitations which allow for a 45 ft. flat roof and 48 ft. sloping roof. However, because many properties (more) RECYCLED PAPER TOV Council Highlights/2-10-98/Add 1 already exceed the height limits, Moore said there would be few incentives for redevelopment. A second approach outlined by Moore would modify the permitted height limitations to reflect the current industry standard for floor-to-floor construction heights. Rather than allowing a five-story building with a 9 ft. floor-to-floor plate, this approach would allow a 10 ft. to 11 ft. floor-to-floor height for a total height of 50 to 55 ft. The third approach offered by Moore is a concept similar to performance zoning. This concept would adjust the permitted height limits based upon specific geographic locations, according to pre-set aesthetic and visual criteria. While Moore said there would be advantages to such a concept, the approach also is vulnerable to the _ argument that certain properties are unfairly given greater development rights than other - properties. The fourth approach presented by Moore combines two of the concepts. First, a maximum "allowed-by-right" height limit, based upon 5-stories at a 10 ft. to 11 ft. floor-to-floor . dimension would be allowed. Then, a height-bonus would be used to create an additional maximum building elevation, that buildings can be constructed ta, based upon compliance with documented performance-based criteria that advance community objectives. The height bonus (an exact elevation) would be determined based upon geographic location, Moore said, according to pre-set criteria. That criteria could include sloping building height from the South Frontage Road down towards Gore Creek; or allowing building heights to be highest closest to Gore Creek, then slope down as they approach the Frontage Road; or create the lowest building heights adjacent to the public spaces, such as the mall or retail areas. Reaction by the Council was varied. Mayor Rob Ford said the challenge will be to come up with an appropriate height limit that also creates the incentive to redevelop. Fard also stressed the importance of enhancing the pedestrian experience. Councilman Bob Armour said he agreed with the concept to narrow the streets in Lionshead, as well as a readjustment in the floor-to-floor height. He also said he'd like to see the taller buildings along the Frontage Road, as well as create incentives for "hot beds" rather than condominiums. Councilman Ludwig Kurz said it may be appropriate to leave the height sloping concepts out of the equation for now. Kurz said he agreed with Armour regarding the narrowing of streets and an adjustment in the floor-to-floor height. Councilman Michael Jewett said he has seen lots of creativity in the proposals and suggested keeping the process moving forward. Councilman Michael Arnett said he preferred approach number two with a slope down towards Gore Creek. Arnett said he was uncomfortable with the performance zoning concept. Councilmember Sybill Navas suggested not overlooking the incentive and benefit of allowing commercial spaces to encroach on the town's property. Reaction from the PEC also was varied. Chairman Greg Moffet questioned whether the town could provide condominium associations with,enough economic incentive to redevelop in Lionshead, while PEC member Jahn Scofield wondered if the town should think more seriously about putting a lid on I-70. Public comments included: concerns that the Vail Associates core site development would block sunlight in the mall; concerns about carrying capacity; and concerns that the economic incentives won't be attractive enough to cause significant redevelopment. The height presentations will be presented during two public forums on Feb. 15 and Feb. 16 at the Vail Public Library.

Although a final decision won't be made until a second review, most Councilmembers acknowledged the need to conduct the study to bring closure to the issue. As proposed, the study would explore various alternatives, including centralized and decentralized delivery systems, potential focations, preliminary cost estimates and operations. For more information, contact Town Manager Bob McLaurin at 479- 2105. (more) . TOV Council Highlights/2-10-98/Add 2 --Information Update Councilmembers reviewed the latest sales tax data which has exceeded budget projections. November collections were up 17 percent over the year before while December collections were up 7 percent over the previous year. Mayor Rob Ford gave a recap of a planning discussion that occurred earlier in the day in which Councilmembers met with town staff to begin designing a public process and decision-making sequence that would identify a permanent funding source for housing as well as appropriate. sites. Ford said the proposal would be presented to the Council in full at its next work session. Also, Ford said the town will select a design/build team for the Red Sandstone Creek development by Friday from among six applicants. - Town Manager Bob McLaurin distributed an intergovernmental agreement drafted by the towns of Vail, Avon, Minturn, Red Cliff, Eagle, Gypsum and Basalt that outlines growth management concerns within the county. The Vail Town Council will consider passage of the agreement at its Feb. 17 evening meeting. McLaurin said the IGA is symbolic of the towns' desire to work more collaboratively with Eagle County. . --Council Reports Ludwig Kurz gave an update on a recent meeting of the Channel 5 board of directors (Kurz is the T01,"'s board representative). He said the board expressed its enthusiasm for ongoing improvements in programming and services. --Rob Ford said he attended the recent ACT meeting on responsible growth. --Sybill Navas reported on the latest efforts of the Business Alliance group which is working to pass a bill in the state legislature that would allow for creation of a regionat marketing district in the upper Eagle Valley. The bill passed unanimously in a House committee this week and will move on to the House floor within the next two weeks; from there, it will move to the Senate. If approved, the legislation would pave the way for an election this November to create a lodging tax for regional marketing. Also, Navas said Channel 5 has agreed to help produce a video documentary on water issues for the region. In addition, Navas suggested that creation of uniform environmental development standards (erosion control, stream setbacks, etc.) be added to the Council's work list. --Michael Arnett, attending a meeting of the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team, said he was encouraged by a presentation in which a private developer expressed interest in building locals housing in Vail. Arnett suggested consideration of a request for qualifications (RFQ) process to narrow the field of interested developers. Also, he said Frank Johnson of the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau was prepared to make a 15 minute presentation on the positive economic impacts created by the Vail Valley Marketing Board. --Other Bob Armour asked to see comparative sales tax figures from Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and other resort communities. He also described his presence at the send-off party for Vail's Olympic athletes. During his recent trip to Europe, Ludwig Kurz said he spent a day with Dick Bauman of MK Centennial Engineering looking at various loading and delivery systems.

Net> To: ssilver@vail.net My emaii address nad changed and I just wanted to be sure that you received this. Doug and Sandra Haynes dhaynes@blomand.net My wife and I own property in Lionshead and are excited about redevelopment. For years prior to our purchase it had been our dream to own a ski chalet with a beautiful view of *he mountains. We looked at many different resort areas but settled on Lionshead. We had considered Beaver Creek but did not pursue that area primarily because of the blocked views by the multistory buildings. Just stand by the nice new ice rink in Beaver Creek and look arour.d. For all you can te11 you might be in any large city. According to the most recent mailing addressing the Lionshead redevelopmenL progress 71% of the existing buildings in Lionshead exceed the permitted GRFA and 84% exceed the allowed building height. The mailing goes on to state that this is because they were built prior to the adoption of zcning regulations for the area. It seems that this Height/Mass issue has already been considered and someor.e tnough} that bigger is not necessarily better and eracted regulations to prevent future structures from blocking the mountain view. Even though the view from our condo wi11 not be greatly affected it will greatly affect the view from our favorite restaurants and bars. Why should the view from one side of one building pre-empt the view from everywhere behind it. To me it is like the big guy trying to stand right at the curb of the parade. Lionshead certainly could use some spiffing-up but in the process we certainly don't want to destrcy the ambience.

Carla Perez (CDOT policy) toid me tbis morning that they have concerns about the bill, but support the intent of an authority group. Their concexns are in the following areas: • The reference "elcvated" irixed guidcway predetermines the outcome of the carridar solution. This language was apparentiy removecf during the committee meeting. • The bill is silent wath regard to t6e role of CDOT. They wau[d Iike to see language added simitar to RTA, that CUUT wi1l have a position on the authoxrty board iind that the statewlde pfanning process will be acknowledgcd. • References are made to CUOT funding of the praject, but no process for state funding is included ,n the language. Carla 1'erez and Miller Hudson are meeting next Tuesday to discuss amendments that might make thc bill more acceptable to CAOT.
