Andy Knudtsen (30 mins). Todd Oppenheimer ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review and decide on 1 of the 4 options presented at the February 17th work session to develop a dedicated funding source for housing and identify land opportunities for housing, parks, open space, and other community facilities. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town Council has identified the creation of a dedicated funding source for housing as a high priority action. In addition, the Town has the need to identify land opportunities for housing, parks, open space, and other community facilities. At the February 17th, Council work session, staff presented 4 options for achieving the Council's goals related to housing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Implement Option 1. 5. 1998 TOV Gommunity Survey. (30 mins.) Bob McLaurin Suzanne Silverthorn ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Clarify direction regarding format and distribution of 1998 TOV Community Survey. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: At the conclusion of the 1997 TOV Community Survey process, there was some discussion with Council regarding an every-other-year approach that would eventually fa!l in line with the biennial budget cycle. At the time, there also was some discussion about doing a telephone survey in the off year to reduce costs. Currently, there is interest on behalf of the staff to survey the community on topics related to the public process for housing, public facilities, open space and parks, as well as TOV service ratings and other Council- directed questions. The 1998 budget enables a full-blown survey to be undertaken at a cost of $23,000, if so directed by the Town Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a full-blown mail-back survey approach that would include the topics listed above, plus service ratings and other Council-directed questions. 6. The Mountain Haus is requesting the Town Council's permission to George Ruther proceed through the public process. The Town Council's permission is required as the Mountain Haus is proposing to construct a new entry on the west end of the building that encroaches upon Town land in Slifer Plaza. Stephanie Lord, representing the Mountain Haus. (10 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request to proceed through the public process. An approval of this request is not an approval of the new entry addition. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: As part of the anticipated improvements to Slifer Plaza, the Mountain Haus would like to upgrade their west entry, as the entry is dated and out of scale with the existing building. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department staff recommends that the Town Council approve the Mountain Haus' request to proceed through the public process. 7.

As a result of that request, we will be presenting to you at next Tuesday's work session the following: • Results of the Design Review Board approval and design comments. • We will discuss the importance of the periphery expansion in respect to the overall design. • We will review the approved 1998 project budget. • We will review the increased project costs and the subsequent budget shortfalls. • We will discuss the potential source(s) of additional money, specifically: • Cost sharing. • Fundraising. • Financing of the Pete Seibert statue. • Comparison with other 1998 Capital Projects. • Project construction schedule In regard to and as a result of the discussion outlined above, we are requesting that you make the following decisions: 1. Should the project extend onto private property? • If the answer is yes; • Should the property owner pay for all, a portion of, or none of the construction, maintenance and operational costs associated with the project? • If the answer is no, do we proceed with the project within the public right of way? RECYCLED PAPER 2. Does the Pete Seibert sculpture remain a part of the project even though it is unfunded? • If the answer is yes; • Who finances it? • If the answer is no, does the project proceed without it? I have also included a copy of the current project budget, that includes the unfunded costs associated with the project expansion and Pete Seibert sculpture. This is provided for your information, review, and preparation for our further discussion about this project on Tuesday.

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: February 20, 1998 RE: Community Engagement Process Attached to this memorandum is a recap of the four options under consideration for advancing our housing goals with funding and siting decisions, as well as other community needs. We continue to recommend option 1, as we believe it is the most viable mechanism to maintain momentum and involve the public. It is, indeed, a"fast track" effort and will involve a significant amount of time and commitment on behalf of the Town Council and the public. Our preliminary estimate for the cost of option 1 is $175,000. This breaks down into 3 areas: Land Use & Site Planning Services, Plus Map Production $74,000 Financial Expertise for the Housing Funding Component $10,000 Communications & Citizen Involvement $81,000 Contingency $10,000 Total $175,000 My recommendation for funding this is as follows: $80,000 from the 98 housing fund $75,000 from 98 RETT funds $20,000 from 97 carryover from Vail Tomorrow budget Please review the assumptions and implications of each of the options carefully. We'll be prepared to talk it through on Tuesday. If you have questions or need additional information prior to Tuesday's meeting, please don°t hesitate to call me. RWM/aw attachments RECYCLED PAPER DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS Option 1: 4 Month Planning Process Product: This option would provide two products: 1) an estimated funding level needed for housing and rational for that funding level; and 2) a land opportunities map that would identify properties appropriate for housing, parks, open space, and other public facilities. The land opportunities map would be developed after receiving public input on community needs and criteria for identifying properties for different uses (e.g., size of lot, proximity to bus stop, slope, ownership, adjacent land use, wetlands). Implications: * Provides a fair, open, honest public process that would take advantage of the momentum that exists to create housing. ' * The plan resulting from option 1 will support future decisions Council will make on housing or other land use issues. This will significantly expedite future decisions on housing, open space, and public facilities. However, community understanding and buy-in could be reduced when compared to a longer process. *Assumptions: TOV housing role is not subject to community debate: it's a given * Assumption: TOV housing goal of having 62% of TOV employees living in the Town is a goal that is not subject to community debate. * Funding levels would be an estimate of future housing needs. In the time frame available, staff can prepare a number of different scenarios for funding needs which may include private partnerships. Keep in mind that the target funding level would only be a rough estimate of what is needed. * This process would examine all potential funding sources and recommend alternative funding methods to achieve the Town of Vail housing goals. It is not a given that RETT will be the primary funding source. * Assumptions: To ensure the integrity of the process the Town must wait until July to initiate the next housing project (i.e., site selection, RFPs, etc). People will question the value of their input if a project is initiated in the middle of this process. Option 2: 12 Month Planning Process Product: Option two would provide a complete action plan on housing, open space and other public facility land needs. This product would identify specific land that would achieve the Towns goals. In other words, if the Town had a goal of 1000 more beds, this process would identify what lands would be needed, how many units could be built on each property, funding partners, and the costs based on estimated construction costs and potential revenues. This product would provide a much more accurate recommendation, compared to option 1, regarding a permanent funding source for housing and a land opportunities map. Implications: * Would provide a fair, open, and honest process. * The plan resulting from option 2 will provide greater support for future decisions, compared to option 1, that Council will make on housing or other land use issues. This will significantly expedite future decisions on housing, particularly those that involve bond issuance. * TOVs role and goals for housing would be open for public debate and provide time for consensus building. Therefore, community understanding and buy-in is increased when compared to a shorter process. * Provides a stronger platform, compared to options 1, for future decision making by having clearly articulated needs and a specific plan of how to meet those needs. * Assumptions: To ensure the integrity of the process the Town must wait until February 1999 to initiate the next housing project (i.e., site selection, RFPs, etc). People will question the value of their input if a project is initiated in the middle of this process. " This process would examine all potential funding sources and recommend alternative funding methods to achieve the Town of Vail housing goals. * It is not a given that RETT will be the primary funding source. * Will be perceived as over processing by some residents and business owners. Option 3: No Citizen Involvement or Process Product: This would involve identifying the next project and finding funding either with funding partners or by using available Town funds to construct the project without a structured citizen involvement process. Future funding would be determined on a case by case basis. Implications: * There could be a short term savings by not having to pay for a planning process. * Finding support for future projects may be difficult since there is limited or no community involvement. * 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 Council members. * This approach is inconsistent with TOV community involvement philosophy and could result in loss of trust and credibility built over the last two years. * There would not be an opportunity for public debate on the Town's role and * Decisions on housing will likely be challenged by the public. Option 4: Initiate the next project and then implement a 12 month planning process. Product: Option 4 is similar to 2 with the exception that the Town would pick one project to build before initiating a public process on funding and siting. Implications: * Public may question the Town's interest in public input by initiating a project first without public involvement. * Agreement regarding the site for the immediate project may be difficult to reach with/out some process. There is no readily apparent site for which consensus already exists. * The Town's role and goals in housing would become difficult to debate if precedents are already established at the outset. * Additional projects would need to wait until February 1998. Seyuence 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.

Chief of Police DATE: February 12, 1998 ~ -REF: Federal Drug Grant The Federal Government has designated Eagle, Garfield and Mesa Counties as "High . • Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas" (HIDTAs) due to the large `quantities of illegal drugs . being transported into these counties and through the I-70 conidor. 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 Sheriffs Office, the Glenwood Springs Police Department, the Garfield County Sheriff s 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 fund 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.

Work Session Briefs Councilmembers present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Jewett, Kurz, Navas --Discussion of Public Process Options 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. The Council reviewed four options that would advance the Council's commitment to identify a permanent funding source for locals housing, as well as identification of sites. Councilmembers debated the merits of all four approaches, with varying timeliness ranging from one month to 12 months, and will resume the discussion at next Tuesday's work session. For a copy of the four options, contact Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115. --Bus Tour of Publicly Held Lands The Council, along with seven members of the public, toured 65 vacant properties, most of them owned by the town, to familiarize themselves with various undeveloped parcels in preparation for - upcoming decisions to be made as part of a public process on creating a siting package for housing, parks, public facilities and open space. The tour included a review of the town's 14 designated open space parcels totaling 382 acres. Those parcels can't be changed or sold without a vote of the electorate. Currently there are 135 undeveloped parcels remaining within Vail's boundaries: six single family; 20 residential/cluster; 26 dupfex; 80 primary/secondary; and three other. For a list of the 65 properties toured by the Council, contact Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115. --Other During an update on the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan process, the Council agreed to postpone its continued discussion of height and mass issues previously scheduled for Feb. 24. Instead, the Council will host a joint discussion with the Planning and Environmental Commission at its March 3 meeting. This means the PEC discussion originally scheduled for Feb. 23 has been canceled. For more information, contact Mike Mollica in the Community Development Department at 479-2144.

The measure allows for modifications to the parking garage, restaurant, common areas and accommodation and dwelling units. 'The , legislation, which will be considered for second reading on March 3, is the final step in a long- awaited approval process for renovation of the facility. Plans call for the elimination of two accommodation units, the conversion of one two bedroom dwelling unit to a"presidential suite" accommodation unit, and the expansion of one dwelling unit. Overall, the VAC would have a total of 54 hotel rooms, 3 dwelling units and 4 employee housing units. The town originally approved the VAC's application for a Special Development District in 1993. However, a lawsuit filed by an adjacent property owner (an unsuccessful attempt to preserve a private view corridor), along with design modifications, caused the project to be delayed. For more information, contact Mike Mollica in the Community Development Department at 479-2144. --Ordinance Establishing Start Time for the Town Council Evening Meeting The Council voted 6-0 on second reading to approve an ordinance that enables the Council to establish a start time for its evening meeting at the first organizational meeting following the municipal election. Passage of the ordinance now clears the way for consideration of a resolution at Council's March 3 meeting to establish a 7 p.m. start time (30 minutes earlier than the existing start time) effective March 17, 1998. During discussion, Councilmember Sybill Navas wondered if Councilmembers would consider a 6:30 p.m. start. The new start time will be determined during discussion of the resolution on March 3. --Resolution Adopting the Intergovernmental Agreement Between and Among the Towns of Avon, Basalt, Eagle, Gypsum, Minturn, Red Cliff and Vail The Council voted 6-0 to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the municipalities in Eagle County to address managed growth concerns throughout the county. Specifically, the agreement encourages the "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; and 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 a municipality." Also, the agreement requests a joint meeting with Eagle Counry otficials to increase coordination of the managed growth issues. For more information, contact Town Manager Bob McLaurin at 478-2105. --Seibert Circle Art Project The Council reviewed the status of the Seibert Circle Art project with Nancy Sweeney, coordinator of the town's Art In Public Places (AIPP) project. Sweeney presented a design recently approved by the AIPP board which is also headed for final review by the Design Review Board (DRB) on Wednesday (2-18). The design, which has evolved over the past two years, features a small amphitheatre-like gathering space in the center of the circle with three vertical granite sculptures designed by renowned artist Jesus Morales. Also, the project includes a bronze statue of Pete Seibert designed by Susan Raymond. Sweeney said the design has been enthusiastically received by adjacent property owners who have asked that construction be contained to April through June of either this year or next. Pete Seibert, for whom the circle is (more) # ~ TOV Council Highlights/2-17-98/Add2 named, expressed uncertainty regarding his support for the design, while Ron Riley, an adjacent business owner, encourged the Council to move forward. Kaye Ferry, representing the Vail Village Merchant Association, asked that construction be delayed for a year due to other construction projects in the Village that are already on line. Councilmembers reacted positively to the project's design (Navas suggested tweaking placement of one of the sculptures to allow for better site fines), although opinions differed regarding how to offset a budget shortfall of $183,000. The shortfall has been caused by expansion of the proposed streetscape improvements to include private property (building front to building front), as well as an additional $68,500 for the Seibert bronze and $5,000 to relocate the fire hydrant, for a total-of $73,500. The ' total streetscape improvement, which will include heated pavers, is estimated at $800,000. Although he said called it a"wonderful project," Councilman Michael Jewett said he questioned using tax dollars for public art, while Councilmembers Sybill Navas, Michael Arnett and Bob Armour encouraged additional financial support from surrounding property owners to complete the project. Councilman Ludwig Kurz suggested moving foward with the project, noting that costs aren't likely to go down. In concluding the discussion, Town Manager Bob McLaurin said he would return to the Council next week with an indication of private sector funding participation, as well as confirmation of the AIPP's pledge to raise $70,000 from the community. Aiso, the Council will review the project in the context of other capital improvements budgeted for 1998. For more information, contact Nancy Sweeny at 479-2344 or Bob McLaurin at 479-2105. --Update and Funding Request from Vail Tomorrow Communiry Center Coordinating Team Stan Cope, a volunteer member of the Vail Tomorrow Community Center Coordinating Team, presented an update on the team's progress in advancing the concept of a Vail Community Center. Cope said the team has developed a community-based approach that would identify and prioritize possibte components of a community center that would dovetail with a public process currently under consideration by the Council. The larger process under consideration by the Council would create a siting package for Vail's housing, parks, public facilities and open space needs, as well as a permanent funding source for housing. Once a budget is established, currently estimated at $20,000, Cope said the team would like to return to the town to request that it fund half the cost of the public process, assuming the Vail Recreation District (VRD) funds the remaining portion. Diane Johnson, the VRD's youth services coordinator, aiso appeared before the Council last night and expressed VRD's support for the effort, although the funding commitment still needs to be approved by the VRD board. Although generally supportive, Councilmembers Bob Armour and Michael Arnett expressed concern that a wish list effort might result in expectations that would be difficult for the town to fulfill, given space and budget constraints. In response, Cope assured the Council that such a process would not automatically bind or obligate the town to a future action. For more information, contact Cope at 476-9530. --Council Reports Sybill Navas noted her attendance and involvement in the Vail Tomorrow Community Center Coordinating Team discussions, as well as the Seibert Circle neighborhood meeting. Kevin Foley issued a reminder regarding the upcoming Vail Recreation District board election. ° Nominating petitions for the board are due Feb. 27. Foley also noted his attendance at an Alpine Garden Foundation fund-raiser and at a Lionshead Master plan community meeting.

Entz State Representative House District 60 LHE/mcb ~ ~ MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 23, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit to allow the Vail Recreation District to construct four new offices and one meeting room to accommodate the spqrts staff at the Vail Tennis Center, located at 700 South Frontage Road EasUa.k.a. Gerald . R. Ford Park. Applicant: Vail Recreation District, represented by Mike Ortiz Planner: George Ruther 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE RE UEST The Vail Recreation District (VRD), represented by Mike Ortiz, is requesting a conditional use permit, pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations. This request would allow the Vail Recreation District to construct four new offices (560 sq. ft.) and one meeting room in the Vail Tennis Center (all interior construction). The new offices and meeting room are intended to accommodate the VRD's sports staff. There are currently four employees working out of the tennis center facility. The total number of employees working out of the Vail Tennis Center, subject to the issuance of this conditional use permit, would be nine. The five additional members of the staff are currently using the offices located in the lower level of the Vail Public Library. The library space is leased by the VRD from the Town of Vail. The Town Councif has expressed an interest in regaining the use of the library space occupied by the VRD. 11. BACKGROUND • In January of 1985, the process of creating a master plan for the development of Ford Park began. In August of that same year, the Gerald R. Ford Park and Donovan Park Master Plan was completed. According to the final report prepared by the project consultant, the Master Plan is intended to direct the future development of the park and establish guidelines for the implementation of the future improvements to the park. • On March 17, 1997, the Town Council adopted the "Ford Park Management Plan: an amendment to the Ford Park Master Plan." The purpose of the Ford Park Management Plan document is to guide the future development of Ford Park. • On February 10, 1998, the VRD appeared before the Town Council with a request to proceed through the conditional use permit review process. As the property owner of Ford Park, the Town Council must grant its permission to allow an applicant to proceed through the review process. The Town Council approved the VRD's request. The approval carried with it direction from the Town Council that any negative impact on the free skier parking (winter) at Ford Park be mitigated. The approval to proceed through the review process was not a grant of approval of the conditional use permit. 1 a mWvoFV~u ~ IIi. REVIEW OF THE RELEVANT PLANNING RELATED DOCUMENTS The following documents were reviewed by the staff in the preparation of this memorandum: 1. Town of Vail Municipal Code2oning Map. 2. Ford Park Management Plan. Town of Vail Municiaal Code2oning Map According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, Ford Park is located in the General Use (GU) Zone District. As stated in the Zoning Regulations, Section 12-9C=1, the General Use Zone District is intended to: "provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards described for other zoning districts, and for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 (general provisions) and to provide for the.public welfare. The General Use Zone District is intended to insure the public buildings and grounds in certain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the District are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to insure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses." The General Use Zone District allows for permitted uses, conditional uses, and accessory uses. In the General Use District, development standards in each of the following categories shall be prescribed by the PEC: a. Lot area and site dimensions; b. Setbacks; c. Building heights; d. Density control; e. Site coverage; f. Landscaping and site development; and g. Parking and loading. . The development standards for the General Use Zone District shall be proposed by the applicant as part of a conditional use permit application. Site specific development standards shall then be determined by the PEC during the review of the conditional use permit request, in accordance with Chapter 16 (Conditional Use Permits). Additional regulations pertaining to site development standards, in the development of the land in the General Use District, are found in Chapter 14 (Supplemental Regulations) of the Zoning Regulations. Staff believes that the only development standard effected by this conditional use permit application is parking. 2 ~ Parkina As previously stated, the parking requirement shall be determined by the PEC. It shaN be the applicant's responsibility to propose a parking plan which, in the opinion of the PEC, adequately addresses the parking needs for the proposed development. Historically, parking has proven to be a reoccurring problem at Ford Park. The addition of sports staff offices at the Vail Tennis Center would no doubt increase the parking demand on Ford Park, with the greatest concern being the impact on the free winter skier parking. The staff would-recommend that the parking requirements prescribed in Chapter 10 of the ' Zoning Regulations be applied to the VRD sports staff office use. According to the parking requirements, professional offices shall provide 1.0 parking space per 250 square of net floor area. Based of these figures, the VRD would be required to provide 3 parking spaces (560 sq. ft. @ 1 space/250 sq. ft.) for the office use. The PEC could require that the actual construction of the three new spaces be postponed until such a time as the Town, and the other users of Ford Park, are ready to implement the parking lot changes recommended in the Management Plan. Staff would also suggest that the PEC consider whether it is more appropriate to base parking needs on the actual number of employees required to successfully staff the sports office. This method would insure that adequate parking was provided for all employees. At this time, it is anticipated that five additional employees will be required to staff the VRD sports office. Ford Park Management Plan The Ford Park Management Plan is an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to guide the outcome of future development, formulate design alternatives, and recommend development guidelines for Ford Park. The location of the VRD sports staff offices is in general compliance with the Plan. During the public pracess for the formulation of the Management Plan, concerns were expressed that no new buildings should be constructed in Ford Park. Staff believes that the construction of the new offices within an existing building will have minimal, if any, negative impacts on Ford Park as a whole. The fo!lowing goals and objectives are relevant to this proposal: Goal #4 Resolve parking shortage and South Frontage Road access problems. 4.1 Objective: Develop a Parking Management Plan to include directed parking, enhanced shuttle bus service and other incentives to reduce the parking demand. Action Step 4.1.4: Improve pedestrian routes to the park by improving signs, lighting and pathway design. 3 c 4.2 Objective: improve vehicular access from the South Frontage Road and improve parking Iot design to maximize the number of spaces, aesthetics, and safety, while mitigating environmental impacts. Action Step 4.2.2: Design and construct improvements to all existing parking areas that maximize the number of parking, spaces with landscape buffering and treating surface stormwater run-off. Goal #5 Improve internal pedestrian circulation within Ford Park and the . . pedestrian connections between Ford Park and Vail Village. Policy Statement 14: Any uses added to Ford Park in the future shall be structured to encourage users or participants to walk or ride the bus rather than drive. Policy Statement 15: Pedestrian access to the Park from Vail Village should be easy and visible. The park shall be as pedestrian-friendly as possible. 5.2 Obj.ective: Improve pedestrian routes to Ford Park. 5.3 Objective: Improve internal pedestrian circulation within Ford Park. In response to the goals, objectives and action steps identified above, the Town has initiated several improvements to Ford Park. Most notably is the construction of a new pedestrian path from the Vail Transportation Center to Vail Tennis Center this past summer. The new path was constructed to improve pedestrian routes to Ford Park and to encourage users and participants to walk to Ford Park rather than arrive by car. IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Upon review of Chapter 16 of tne Zoning Regulations, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the conditional use permit request to allow for four new offices and one meeting room to be constructed at the Vail Tennis Center, located in Ford Park, based upon the following factors: A. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. Staff believes the applicanYs proposal is in concert with the Town development objectives and will have minimal, if any, negative impacts on existing or potential uses in Ford Park. The new offices are intended to replace the VRD's use of the offices currently located on the lower level of , the Vail Public Library. 4 . r According to the Ford Park Management Plan, in part, "staff offices for on-site park activities is an allowed use." and, "new or changed facilities or uses will not be permitted to curtail existing public uses or facilities in the Park unless there is a _ compelling public interest or adequate alternative facilities are available to its users." . Staff believes that the additional office use of the Vail Tennis Center wifl not curtail any public uses or facilities in Ford Park. Staff believes that the greatest impact to Ford Park will be on parking. Staff would recommend that the parking impact be mitigated by the VRD through off-site parking of at least five employee vehicles. The off-site employee parking could be accommodated in the Vail Transportation Center. Employees could park in the structure and use the new pedestrian path to get to the sports staff offices. A revised tease agreement between the VRD and the Town would need to be drafted and executed. This revised agreement would be reviewed and approved by the Town Council. Staff would further suggest that the VRD contribute to the construction and implementation of the recommended improvements to Ford Park as outlined in the Ford Park Management Plan. The recommended improvements are outlined in Section 5 of the plan. The extent of involvement by the VRD should be proportionate to the VRD's impacts on the park. Possible involvement might include helping to resolve the parking shortage and South Frontage Road access problems and improving the internal pedestrian circulation within the park and enhancing pedestrian connections to the park. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that the VRD's proposal will have minimal, negative impacts on the above-described criteria. As discussed in the previous criteria, staff believes the greatest impact of the applicanYs proposal will be on parking. However, staff believes that the parking impact can be successfully mitigated. To help further the goals of the Town and to improve community meeting room opportunities, staff has suggested to the applicant that they allow a community meeting room use within their office space. Staff believes such an arrangement could be coordinated and would result in a positive , impact in terms of ineeting our Town's public facility needs. 5 • ~ 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. Staff believes there will be minimal, if any, negative impacts on the above- described criteria , 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to - be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in . relation to surrounding uses. , The new offices will be located within an existing structure (Vail Tennis Center). Staff believes this is positive as it does not increase the number of structures built in Ford Park, nor does it effect the existing open space areas of the park. During the public process for the Ford Park Management Plan, numerous concerns were raised regarding new buildings in the park and the negative impacts they would have on open space. Staff believes the additional office use will have minimal, if any, negative impacts on the existing or potential uses of Ford Park. Staff does not believe that the character of the park will be negatively impacted. The Vail Tennis Center currently accommodates an office with minimal impacts on the park. Staff does not believe that the additional offices will effect the active and passive recreation nature of Ford Park. B. FINDINGS The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use e~ rmit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes , of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. 6 • ~ V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends approval of the applicant's request for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of four new offices and one meeting room to be located in the Vail Tennis Center in Ford Park subject to the following findings: ~ 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the General , Use zone district. - 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be • operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to grant an approval of the applicanYs request, staff would recommend that the following condition be placed upon the approval: 1. That the Vail Recreation District require at least five employees to park their vehicles in the Vail Transportation Center and utilize the pedestrian path to access the new offices. This would mitigate the increased parking demand resulting from the issuance of the conditional use permit.

Since then I have attended a meeting on Sunday, Feb 15,1998 at the Vail Public Library Community Room to review the "Height and Mass Concepts and Alternatives" as proposed by the Study Committee hired by the Town of Vail. The narrowing of walkways through Lionshead in the name of "increased commerce" is absolutely frigktening! A Survey, citing 40% of the visitors to Vail do not ski but enjoy shopping a main activity, was given as a rational to narrow the walkways to approximately 30 feet. Lionshead has always been the main Vail "Skier Drop-off' due to easy access to the gondola and lugh speed quad chair. After 15 years of watching the transportation in the parking garage unload in the mornings and return in the evenings, I can assure you, almost all of the people entering Lionshead go directly to the lift ticket booth , purchase lift tickets, and head up ihe mountain. Narrowing the walkways will not encourage them to purchase tee slurts and othtr tourist paraphernalia. Kennys Ski Shop is one of the few prosperous enterprises in Lionshead because it serves the needs of this transient population. Bart &Yettes does equally as well. But, for the most part, when these people return from skiing, they head on home because we do not offer them a comfortable ski lodge, and enough suitable amenities to make them want to stay in Lionshead to visit and shop; The "Lionshead Core Redevelopment Program" outlined in the letter above creates more congestion and does nothing to serve those daily visitors. Common sense leads me to the next conclusion. If the transient population creates too much wngestion and dces not increase the revenue basis for the town of Vail, the alternative of removing the parking facility and building a five star hotel in thai location would create more "live beds", and recbuce the traffic congestion problem simultaneously. The current Study (;ommittee claims no major hotel conccrn wou?d consider that a suitable locarion . I urge you to revisit this concept and solicit the major hotel chains directly to obtain written proposals or letters of denial. To service day visitors, a parking gazage could be built a the west end of Lionshead with adequate walkways to the gondola, and the existing Sunbird lodge and old gondola building area could be rebuilt as a lodge to contain all skiers comfortably and provide the much needed open space area at the base of the mountain. These are very broad concepts, and I humbly submit them for your consideration. Thank You for the in depth reviews you are making of this project, and for reading my letter. TrulyYours, Henrietta "Holly" Simmenroth . Henrietta (Holly) Simmenroth 11/29/97 10 Cora Lane Chester, N.J. 07930 Owner: Lifthouse Condo #412 Lionshead Circle, Vail, CO 81657 Vail Town Council Town Of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Ladies and Gentlemen, This letter is in protest to the recently received preliminary plans of Lionshead that Vail Associates will be presenting to the town for approval. The document refened to is the "LIONSHEAD CORE REDr,"VELOPMEN'I' PROGRAM SIJN5IARY" dated 9/23/97 depicting 44 CONDOS, 6 PENTHOUSE CONDOS, and a 127 ROOM HOTEL. The plans indicate the buildings will be more than 6 stories in height with existing corridors of traffic narrowing down to alleys to the gondola and chair #8 at the base. Before proceeding, I would like to introduce myself and explain my concerns as they relate to me personally. I am known as "Holly", am a school nurse and health educator, and have been visiting the Vail Valley for more than 20 years on a regular basis staying at the Lifthouse Condos which are managed by Packy Walker. During the first 15 years, I was able to save enough money for a down payment on a condo and waited for one of the top floor mountain facing units to come up for sale. On August 19,1991, my dream came true. Although other units in the building not facing the mountain were listed on the market for about one half the price, I purchased unit #412, a mountain view unit from which I can lay on the living room couch and -watch the skiers descend the slopes. I had always anticipated that in my retirement, just a few years away, I would be able to spend much more time in my Lifthouse condo enjoying the spectacular view of the mountain. I am sure my story as a Lionshead condo owner is not unique. The above captioned plan will obstruct the view of many other condo owners in the area, not only shattering our dreains of relaxing and taking in the beautiful natural environment of the mountains through our windows, but also reducing the monetary value of the units in direct proportion to the loss of the view. I realize there aze Town of Vail View corridors set forth in Chapter 18.73 of the Municipal Code, and private views not identified in the code aze not protected by TOV regulations. At this time of drastic change, I implore you to revisit these View Corridors creating new, wider View Corridors in Lionshead and, as an eauitable solution to amend the Municipal Code to not allow any new building to be higher than the e~stzng stru~ti:a~ Fvithow a ya.xaance gK~.n*Qd atter Qbtaar.:=~mwEc: al 3f a11 propM owners which would be effected bv obstruction of view of the mountain or the Gore range A"Five Star" hotel increasing the "Live Bed" capacity would certainly enhance the area, but I fail to see why Lionshead needs 44 more condos and 6 penthouse condos as the proposal indicates. A few years ago when VA officials met with hotel consultants to consider the feasibiliry of bringing either a grand hotel, condominium units with retail, a mixed use boutique hotel or a boutique hotel with condoxniniums and retail into the heart of Lionshead, the study showed the core site was not well suited physically to hotel development because of lack of size, poor access, etceteras. In the Six Policy Objectives identified by the Town Council as a foundarion for the planning process, improved access and circulation was identified as one of the major needs. Since the gondola was moved to the base of the mountain, next to the bridge, the skier traffic at the base has become much more congested requiring more open space in that azea, not less. The Lionshead Master Plan Stage II- Program Development Phase elicited public responses in the format of a"Wish List", obviously appropriately named, as numerous responses addressed the need for more open pnblic space not less. • e , Regarding the Redevelopment Project, Mr. David Corbin, Vice President of VA Rea1 Estate Group is reported as saying the obvious benefits to Vail Associates would be the increased number of skiers, use of the ski school and its retail sales. The benefits to the Town of Vail would be increased collection of ski lift taxes, lodging taxes, properry taYes and sales tax. Regarding the Lionshead Core Redevelopment Program Summary dated 9/23/97, I would like to say, the increase in revenues to the VA and the TOV will be great, but if this plan gces into effect without amelioration, the loss of aesthetics to the communiry of Lionshead will be devastating. Truly Yours, ~ 7 G y7n~--- Henrietta (Holly) Simmenroth
