I have a continuing and genuine interest in this portion of civic government and I feel I am a very worthwile contributor. During the majority of the last 18 years I have lived and worked in Eagle county. Most of that time in Vail. Currently I own a home in West Vail and I have my office in Vail Village. Through my business I have an in depth knowledge of how Vails' planning process functions. Through my office and my service on the Planning and Environmental Commission, I have become well aware of both the opportunities and challenges the Towns' zoning presents. I believe I have the ability to help grasp what will be a good, appropriate project for the Town and how zoning applies and becomes a guide to encourage a better community. As well as being a Life member of the Sierra Club, I am a licensed Architect in Colorado and Idaho. I have a deep interest in making Vail one of the best places in the World to live and visit and I appreciate your consideration of my application. /6rely, ..mom T- y^ Ga en, Aasland XWELL DEVELOPMENT, INC. March 10, 1998 Ms. Lorelei Donaldson Town Clerk Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: letter of interest - Planning & Environmental Commission Dear Ms. Donaldson: This letter is to express my interest in serving on the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC). As a 14-year resident of Vail, I have both a financial and an emotional investment in this community. I would like to participate more in the Community, particularly in the development review and approval process. Having participated in managing a number of construction projects in and around Vail, I have a practical understanding of development in this environment, and an applicant's perspective on the Town's development review and construction permitting processes. As a long-time resident, I support the Town of Vail's efforts to encourage quality development in the community, as demonstrated by the proposed Lionshead redevelopment and the employee housing project at Red Sandstone Creek. I believe that my experience as a local realtor, developer and contractor, plus my degree in Construction Management and Real Estate Development from the University of Denver, would help me to be an effective participant on this board. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and answer any questions you may have.

I am very interested in devoting my time toward the success of the Vail Valley. I came to Vail in 1978, fell in love with the valley and remained permanently. I met my wife, Michelle, here and we now have three children. We presently live in the Intermountain area in the third residence that we have owned in Vail. I am currently employed by Vail Associates and have worked for a large construction company here in the valley. Vail is our home and I would like to work towards shaping it's future. My interest as a member of the PEC is to be involved in the future of the community and its direction. We have witnessed several development projects in which structures are being built to the maximum tolerances of the code. We need to use good judgment and common sense when reviewing such projects. We need to look at individual situations with new insight as building continues on some of the more difficult remaining lots and redevelopment of existing structures. The Vail Valley has an ambiance that is attractive to all who live and visit. Our founders had great visions of a warm alpine Village that needs to be remembered. I believe this is all possible with the guidance of the PEC. All the natural aspects that this valley has to offer are very precious, and what is man made must be developed in harmony with nature. This can be a very difficult job to balance. The town has made great strides with listening to the community in preserving open space and the quality of our environment. Continuing this role will be beneficial to our community. I would be honored to serve on the Planning and Environmental Commission.

Frontage Rd. and Vail Rd. by replacing all of the existing buildings as well as the parking lot on Vail Rd. (2) A World Class Hotel • Majestic lobby and gallery atrium. • 381 rooms + 12 living/sleeping rooms = 786 pillows. (Includes 12 hotel & club luxury penthouses). • Convention Center: 32,000 sq. ft. (Simultaneously accommodates groups from 10 to 1,000 people). • Health Club/SPA: 25,000 sq. ft. • Casual and fine dining restaurant. • Parking: 445 indoor spaces. In and out, including deliveries, operate only on S. Frontage Rd. (3) Effectively complements the VAIL CHARACTER It is a World Class Hotel in a World Class Resort. It does not generate any vehicle traffic into the Village, which is almost a vehicle free village. The development is a high quality alpine design, exterior and interior, creating a pleasant alpine ambiance. To accommodate all of it's needs, in a configuration harmonious to the immediate neighborhood, the development descends 4 levels underground and also recess the higher floors, so that they are not seen from the street. (4) Year round high occupancy A high occupancy will be obtained through aggressive marketing of a World Class Hotel, offering all of the necessary amenities, for both the FIT (Free Independent Travel) and Convention Groups Price is of the utmost importance to the convention market. In order to achieve competitive hotel rates, the following, a) and b) are essential: a) The sale of the 12 high value hotel penthouses (41 bedrooms) as Fractional Fee Club for the 28 high season weeks (The ownership of the remaining 24 shoulder season weeks will be retained by the hotel). This will lower the base cost of the remaining hotel. b) The large number of hotel rooms allows the operation to enjoy the benefits of a "scale of economy", therefore reducing the operational cost per room. The combination of a) and b) above and the targeted high occupancy will allow the hotel to reduce their rates to a very competitive level There is a close inter-dependency among all of the components; one needs the other to make the development operationally and economically viable. High occupancy require s a strong marketing budget, an appropriate product, and competitive rates, which can be offered by a large hotel with excellent amenities and a lower base cost obtained through the sale of the high season weeks of the 92 penthouses as Club. (5) 246,000 quests day/year will be brought to Vail The above total includes the following classifications; a), b) and c) with the total guests (attendees) calculated as indicated: a) Conventioneers (Based on a study "Potential Market Demand for Conference Center in Vail" prepared by Robert S. Benton & Associates for the Town of Vail) b) FIT, Free Independent Travel (Based on the developments proposed number of hotel rooms and an occupancy equal to the one obtained in 1997 by the Hyatt Beaver Creek) c) Club Members (41 Club rooms x 28 weeks x 2 persons/room). (6) The 246,000 quests day generated by the development will spread throughout Vail, constituting CUSTOMERS for existino business The development is designed with the consideration that Vail is the main attraction with its existing restaurants, retail, entertainment, services etc. The development contains just enough retail space to give a sense of life throughout the public areas. The additional amenities, Meeting/Convention Center, Health Club/Spa and 445 indoor parking spaces represents tools to attract guests to Vail, which will overflow throughout the area for lodging, dining, shopping, entertainment, services etc. (7) Sales tax qenerated: aprox. $ 6.5 million/year Based on recent data published by the Denver Metro Convention & Visitor Bureau, it is estimated that the development will generate 76 million/year in sales in Vail, which in turn will generate the above sales tax. (8) Employee housing and training The hotel policy will be to hire a high quality staff and maintain a program for their continuous improvement. The developer is ready to work with the Town of Vail to achieve a fair and reasonable solution toward the employee housing issue. VAIL PLAZA HOTEL Currently known as the Vail Village Inn DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION HISTORY The current owner of the Vail Village Inn has been in love with Vail since 1972, when he first came here. He acquired the VVI in 1996 with the intention to create a positive contribution towards the best interest of the Town of Vail and the community that he loves. During the past several years he has come to the understanding that one of the aspirations of the Vail business community was to have a significant anchor: a World Class Hotel, with convention facilities and the other amenities that could contribute to the development of year round activity. From the time he acquired the Vail Village Inn he has had the intention of redeveloping it. He initiated a study to see if it would be viable to fulfill that aspiration. For the new hotel to work it would need to capture it's share of the Group Market. The demand is there; the Group Market is in the explicit magnitude of 86.5 million persons/year. We already have Vail - with all of it's appeal The only thing that is really missing is the "anchor hotel" with convention facilities and all the other amenities. Therefore, he had plans created for the Vail Plaza Hotel now being presented to the community. These plans resulted from intensive studies and consultation with "old time" local friends and other knowledgeable people: What would be the best use of the WI site and also best benefit the Town of Vail as well as the community? The answer was very clear. Develop a World Class Hotel, with Convention Facilities a large number of hotel rooms and all of the necessary amenities. A hotel that would constitute an "anchor hotel" for Vail, as outlined in items (1), (2) and (3) below and providing the benefits described in (4), (5) (6) and (7). The architects, Zehren & Associates were challenged to accommodate this program in a configuration harmonious to the immediate neighborhood and add to the Vail Character. After some research the owner was informed that it would require a high cost solution; to go 4 levels underground. The owner accepted and after several months of work we were successful in developing the plans now being presented. (1) A Completion to Vail's Main Entrance Located in the southeast block of S. Frontage Rd. and Vail Rd. or the immediate east and south sides of the Gateway Building. The new building will replace all of the existing buildings currently known as the VVI. The main entrance or street front faces S. Frontage Rd. and is positioned in the area between the Gateway Building and the Village Inn Plaza Condominiums. (picture 2) The south side or back of the building will face the Vail ski area. There will be immediate pedestrian access to East Meadow Drive, Vail Village and the town bus system through the Village Inn Plaza retail area. On Vail Rd. the new building will replace the existing parking lot and the old building that now houses Craig's Market. (picture 1) The development will serve as a buffer for the 1-70 and S. Frontage Rd. traffic noise. (2) A World Class Hotel • Majestic lobby and gallery atrium. (picture 3) • 381 rooms + 12 living/sleeping rooms = 786 pillows (Includes 12 hotel penthouses with living/sleeping rooms plus 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms). Besides the penthouses, the hotel rooms can be combined and made into suites with living/sleeping rooms plus 1 to 5 bedrooms. • Convention Center: 32,000 sq.ft. Capable of being divided to simultaneously accommodate groups from 10 to 1,000 people. It is also equipped for catering to Corporate, Association, Incentive, Sales Meetings, groups needing exhibit space in conjunction with their meeting, as well as fairs, festivals, parties, balls, lectures and continuing education programs. The annual maximum capacity = 1,000 attendees/function x 365 days = 365,000 delegates/function/year. • Health Club/SPA: 25,000 sq.ft. A total fitness center and Spa, handling the various treatments provided by a full service Spa. • Casual and Fine dining restaurants. • Parking: 445 indoor spaces In and out only on S. Frontage Rd. (3) Effectively complements the VAIL CHARACTER • World Class Resort Vail is a World Class Resort The development will be a World Class Hotel (item 2 above), which constitutes an excellent addition to the Village. • Vehicle free village Vail is almost a vehicle free village. The development will be 100% vehicle free into the village. All vehicles, including deliveries, will operate only on S. Frontage Rd. The development is extremely functional in this respect: pedestrians only into the Village, vehicles OUT. • Alpine environment The architects, Zehren & Associates, successfully created a high quality alpine design, exterior and interior (pictures 1 through 5). Due to the developments location on S. Frontage Rd., it is possible to accommodate the necessary mass for the required number of hotel rooms, amenities, services, parking etc. in a configuration harmonious to the immediate neighborhood (pictures 1 and 2). To achieve this the development descends 4 levels underground from the S. Frontage Rd. level (an expensive proposition) and also recess the higher floors, so that they are not seen from the street. (4) Year round high occupancy A high occupancy will be obtained through aggressive marketing of a World Class Hotel, offering all of the necessary amenities, for both the FIT (free independent travel) and group guest. According to a study performed by Pannell Kerr Forester, based on data from Meetings and Conventions Magazine, the annual group business market is in the magnitude of 71.5 million delegates plus approximately 15 million accompanying persons. Resulting in a, total market of approximately 86.5 million guests Given the hotels Convention Center capacity, 1,000 people and the sufficient number of rooms, suites and penthouses, the new hotel will be in position to successfully market to those 86.5 million guests. The market share to be captured is only 0.14%. Price is of the utmost importance to this market. In order to achieve competitive hotel rates (particularly during the shoulder seasons) the 12 hotel penthouses (41 bed rooms) will be sold as Fractional Fee Club for 28 season weeks (The ownership of the remaining 24 shoulder season weeks will be retained by the hotel). This will lower the base cost of the remaining weeks, therefore allowing the hotel to reduce the rate to a very competitive level. The final result is that the Club units will have the highest possible occupancy: a) During the high season the unit will be occupied by an owner (An owner that purchased a week or weeks convenient for him). b) During the shoulder season the unit will be occupied by delegates (Guests that are part of a group booked through the hotel's strong marketing and competitive rates). There is a close inter-dependency among all of the components; one needs the other to make the development operationally and economically viable: • High occupancy (particularly during the shoulder seasons) requires: a) a strong marketing budget, b) appropriate product and c) competitive rates. • Vail Plaza Hotel with its' number of rooms and excellent amenities is the appropriate product to provide the volume of business that can afford a strong and necessary marketing budget. • The adequate amenities (majestic lobby and gallery, convention facilities, state of the art Health Club/SPA, casual and fine dining, indoor parking, etc.) are economically iustifiable only in conjunction with a large hotel. • The ownership of the 24 shoulder season weeks of the Club takes the hotel to 381 rooms at an average lower base cost (because of the sale of the 28 high season weeks). This is very helpful in allowing competitive marketing to groups and also contributes in achieving the desired NO occupancy. (5) 246,000 quests daylyear will be brought to Vail a) Conventioneers generated Per year = 140,000 persons day/year The Convention facility will have a maximum capacity of 1,000 persons/function x 1 function/day x 365 days/year = 365,000 persons/function/year. The study "Potential Market Demand for a Conference Center in Vail" prepared in 1993 by Robert S. Benton & Associates and Hire & Associates for the Town of Vail points out that the then proposed Conference Center for Vail would have the following, and important to note, constrains: • Non existence of a local airport for large airplanes. • The use of the facility also as a performance theater would limit the Conference days to market and, most important, • The lack of an "anchor hotel", under the same roof, that could serve as headquarters for the conventions. Even with these constrains, the study estimated that the Conference Center would generate a demand for 72,200 rooms night/year. Vail now has the required airport and the Vail Plaza Hotel development doesn't have the other constrains previously mentioned. Taking into consideration these factors and others (Vail's improvements since that time, etc.) it is safe to assume that the room night demand generated will be more than 1/3 higher, in the area of 100,000 rooms night/year. This exceeds our hotel capacity dedicated to groups (65,000 room night/year). Therefore, the overflow (estimated 35,000 rooms night/year) will be directed to other hotels in Vail. The same study considers that the spouse/family attendance will be significantly higher than the National Average of 20,7% (Meetings and Conventions Magazine), approximately 40%, _ bringing the total to: 100,000 rooms night/year x 1.4 people/room = 140,000 (delegates, spouse and family) days/year. The estimated total delegates day/year (100,000) is a 27.4% of the Convention maximum capacity and represents only 0.14% of the total group market (item 4 above) b) FIT (Free Independent Travel) = 90,187 guests day/year The maximum hotel capacity less the 41 Club rooms (12 penthouses) eventually occupied by the owners during their 28 weeks is: 340 hotel rooms x 365 days/year + 41 rooms x 24 weeks/year x 7 days/week = 130,988 rooms night/year. At least 65,000 room nights/year will be dedicated to the FIT market. In particular during the high season days. Projecting an overall occupancy of no less than 75% at an average of 1.85 persons/room will take the total FIT to 65,000 x 75% x 1.85 = 90,187 FIT visitor day/year, generated by the development, in addition to the conventioneers. c) Club Members = 16,072 persons/year There are 41 rooms in the Club, for 28 weeks. Their occupancy certainly will be very close to 100% (if not occupied by the owners, they will more than likely be rented through the hotel.) The population (total guests) will be: 41 rooms x 28 weeks x 7 days/week x 2 persons/room = 16,072 persons/year. d) Total = a1 + b1 + 0 = 246,259 quests/year { (6) The 246,000 quests day -generated by the development will spread throughout Vail, constituting CUSTOMERS for the existing businesses. The development is designed with the consideration that Vail is the main attraction or draw, with its existing restaurants, _ retail, entertainment, attractions, services, etc. The development contains a minimum amount of retail space, just enough to give a sense of life and generate activity throughout the public areas. The restaurant is designed to handle the demands of a hotel for it's size. It is known that guests dine, on the average, only once at the hotel where they are staying. The additional amenities, Meeting/Convention Center, Health Club/Spa and indoor parking represents tools to attract lodging guests and customers, which will overflow and spread throughout Vail for lodging, dining, shopping, entertainment, services, etc. (7) Sales tax generated: aprox. $ 6.5 million/year a) Expenditure per visitor per day The Denver Metro Convention & Visitor Bureau, has stated that the average "Conventioneer Expenditure" during the year of 1997 was $ 343/day (as published in an article appearing in the Denver Post's Business-section, January 30, 1998). Excluding lodging, the spouse/family expenditure would be reduced to: $343 - $135 = $208/day. b) $76 million sales/year -generated in Vail by the development With these figures and the number of guest days of item 5 above, it is calculated that the development will generate 76 million/year in sales in Vail, which in turn will generate sales tax. (100,000 delegates day + 90,187 FIT day) x $343 + (40,000 spouses/family +16,072 club members) x 208 = $ 76,897/year. c) Sales tax -generated = $76 M x.085 = $ 6.5 million/year. (8) Employee housing and training The hotel policy will be to hire a high quality staff and maintain a program for their continuous improvement. The developer is ready to work with the Town of Vail to, achieve a fair and reasonable solution toward the employee housing issue.

The Design Guidelines include such requirements as paving parking areas, placing utility service lines underground, compliance with the lighting restrictions, and not utilizing plywood as a siding material. Most of the guidelines are just that, guidelines. However, several requirements, like the ones above, are in fact standards. The proposed code language will provide clear direction as to when these "standards" will be applied. Staff has considered what nonconforming sites and structures exist today. There are numerous single-family and duplex developments which do not meet some aspect of the Design Guidelines. These sites are generally located in East Vail and West Vail. Several multiple-family developments do not meet the Design Guidelines. One example is the Camelot Townhomes (plywood siding, overhead utilities). Fewer commercial properties are nonconforming with respect to the Design Guidelines. Generally, commercial properties have redeveloped more often than residential properties and therefore have been upgraded to meet code or were originally constructed in compliance. One example of a nonconforming commercial site is the Roost Lodge (zoned PA) which has plywood siding. The code currently requires all nonconforming properties to be brought into compliance with the Design Guidelines with any addition of square footage. The staff interpretation, which has been used for the past couple of years, allows expansions to single-family, two-family, and primary/secondary residential uses of 150 sq. ft. or less without complying with the guidelines. Option #1: Option #1 requires the upgrading of commercial and multiple-family developments with any addition of floor area, units, common area, or garage area. This option allows single-family, two- family, and primary/secondary uses a one-time expansion of up to 500 sq. ft. without compliance with the Design Guidelines. The proposed language is: 1 IVWNO*FYML Nonconforming sites and structures; Effect of Design Guidelines. Buildings and sites which are not in conformance with the Design Guidelines, due to annexations or changes in code provisions (i.e., legal nonconformities), shall be required to conform with the Design Guidelines when allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA) (the GRFA that is permitted by the density control section of various zone districts), commercial floor area, or garage area credit is added to any existing structure or site. From the effective date of this ordinance (April 1998), there shall be permitted a one-time exclusion from this provision for an expansion to single-family, two-family, and primary/secondary residential dwelling units. This one-time exclusion shall be allowed for a single expansion of 500 sq. ft. or less of allowable GRFA or garage area credit per dwelling unit. In which case, structures may be expanded without requiring upgrades to entire structures and sites or conformance with the Design Guidelines. The addition itself, however, shall conform with the Design Guidelines. An expansion which is greater than 500 sq. ft., or any subsequent expansion to a structure, regardless of size, shall require full compliance of the entire site (including other dwelling units located on the lot) with the Design Guidelines. General maintenance and upkeep of a property shall continue to be required regardless of the amount of floor area added to a structure. The one-time exclusion noted above shall not preclude the Design Review Board, pursuant to the Design Guidelines, from requiring landscaping and other improvements necessary to buffer or mitigate development impacts associated with the expansion/remodel. Expansions made pursuant to Section 12-15-5, Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance), shall require full compliance of the entire site with the Design Guidelines. Interior conversion additions pursuant to Section 12-15-4, Interior Conversions, shall not trigger the requirement for upgrading sites and structures to fully comply with the Design Guidelines, unless it can be classified as a demo/rebuild, pursuant to Section 12-2-2 of this Title. Option #2: Option #2 requires the upgrading of commercial developments with any addition of floor area. Multiple-family dwelling units would be allowed expansions of 500 sq. ft. or less. Any additions to units or common area in excess of 500 sq. ft. would require that the development, as a whole, be upgraded to meet the Design Guidelines. For example, all dwelling units in Camelot Townhomes could be expanded by 500 sq. ft. each, without requiring the buildings to remove the plywood siding. However, if they wanted to expand one unit beyond 500 sq. ft. or add units to the development, the entire development would be required to be brought into compliance with the guidelines. This option also allows single-family, two-family, and primary/secondary uses a one-time expansion of up to 500 sq. ft. without compliance with the Design Guidelines. The proposed language is: Nonconforming sites and structures; Effect of Design Guidelines. Buildings and sites which are not in conformance with the Design Guidelines, due to annexations or changes in code provisions (i.e., legal nonconformities), shall be required to conform with the Design Guidelines when one (or more) of the following is proposed to occur: 2 1. When a commercial use is expanded in gross floor area; or 2. When a multiple-family residential dwelling unit is expanded by more than 500 sq. ft. There shall be a one-time exclusion allowed for a single expansion of 500 sq. ft. or less of allowable GRFA per dwelling unit, as of the effective date of this ordinance (April 1998). In which case, structures may be expanded without requiring upgrades to entire structures and sites or conformance with the Design Guidelines. The addition itself, however, shall conform with the Design Guidelines. An expansion which is greater than 500 sq. ft., or any subsequent expansion to a structure, regardless of size, shall require full compliance of the entire site (including other structures and dwelling units located on the lot) with the Design Guidelines; or 3. When a single-family, two-family, or primary/secondary residential dwelling unit is expanded by more than 500 sq. ft. There shall be a one-time exclusion allowed for a single expansion of 500 sq. ft. or less of allowable GRFA or garage area credit per dwelling unit, as of the effective date of this ordinance (April 1998). In which case, structures may be expanded without requiring upgrades to entire structures and sites or conformance with the Design Guidelines. The addition itself, however, shall conform with the Design Guidelines. An expansion which is greater than 500 sq. ft., or any subsequent expansion to a structure, regardless of size, shall require full compliance of the entire site (including other structures and dwelling units located on the lot) with the Design Guidelines. General maintenance and upkeep of a property shall continue to be required regardless of the amount of floor area added to a structure. The one-time exclusion noted above shall not preclude the Design Review Board, pursuant to the Design Guidelines, from requiring landscaping and other improvements necessary to buffer or mitigate development impacts associated with the expansion/remodel. Expansions to single-family, two-family, and primary/secondary dwelling units made pursuant to Section 12-15-5, Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance), shall require full compliance of the entire site with the Design Guidelines. Interior conversion additions pursuant to Section 12-15-4, Interior Conversions, shall not trigger the requirement for upgrading sites and structures to fully comply with the Design Guidelines, unless it can be classified as a demo/rebuild, pursuant to Section 12-2-2 of this Title. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Option #2 be pursued and an ordinance be drafted. F:\EVERYONE\DOM\MEM098\DESIGNTR.130 3 E C.R.T.A.

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-out" 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%2x11 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 Permit" issuance, as the ordinance currently reads. The proposed changes to Section 4.B.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 SOD involve changes to gross residential floor area, as well as density (number of units), the proposal is required to follow the Major SOD 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 SOD 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 staffs 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 out" (south elevation). • Fourth Floor balcony door expansion (south elevation). • Fifth Floor dwelling 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 value, 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 recycling 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 acceptable 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. Objective 2.3 - Increase the number of residential units available for short term overnight accommodations. Politer 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. Ob1ective 2.5 - Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better 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. Polipy 5.1.5 - 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 Plan 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. I. 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 memo. 6 Shod k*x ~Imt[ I1 V.Q V a ~rnY I I' r 1 eortN s m..aa ~ rorrra I ' ' I raeL~ •NEt ~6+v~El1a~' rr:'m ux sLe4s I!

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: March 13, 1998 SUBJECT: Town Manager's Report TOV Internet Presence As we have discussed on several occasions we are moving forward to increase the Town's presence on the Internet. Initially, we will contract with Internetworks (Vail.net) to get up and running. Once we have established the basic format, we will develop our own internal capacity. Attached to this memo is a proposal from Internetworks outlining services they will provide and the costs associated with these services. As indicated in the document, Internetworks would design and produce the TOV shell and would produce the Town Council piece of this work. Specifically, work session agendas, evening meeting agendas, Town Council highlights, meeting minutes, ordinances, resolutions and the Town Manager's report would be included within the framework of our Internet presence. The cost for this work will not exceed $6,000 for 1998. It is our intention to move forward with this as quickly as possible unless so directed otherwise. It is my understanding you wish to fund this from the Council contingency. Vail Village Signage For the past several months the TOVNA Task Force has been working to improve the signage in the Vail Village core. Specifically, we have been working to improve informational signage from the parking structure to the ski yard. Guest surveys indicate that improved directional signage would enhance the guest experience and would decrease confusion on the part of guests and skiers. We have a proposal from Communication Arts to develop a plan to improve signage from the structure to the top of Bridge Street. For your information I have attached a copy of this proposal. At this point Vail Associates has indicated a willingness to share in the cost of this proposal. Please review the attached proposal and indicate if you wish to proceed or not. I believe this is a project that would improve the guest experience and would recommend that we proceed with it. We would need to fund this through a supplemental appropriation. La RECYCLEDPAPER Critical Strategies Please find attached a rough draft of a document which would articulate the critical strategies and work program for the coming year. Please note that these are currently being reviewed by the department directors and therefore are a preliminary cut. I wanted to take this opportunity to share them with you. If you wish to modify the format, change this in any way shape or form please let me know. Transit Survey In accordance with our discussions at the Council retreat we are working with the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority to implement a transit survey. Approximately 250 surveys will be collected on the outlying routes. Attached to this memo is a copy of the instrument. As indicated, this survey is being done in conjunction with the Regional Transportation Authority and is being conducted by Hill & Tashiro Marketing & Advertising.

Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Signing Evaluation Dear Suzanne: It was a pleasure to meet with you and your group earlier this month to discuss pedestrian wayfinding for the Town of Vail. We would very much like to be involved in evaluating the current infrastructure of signs and wayfinding devices for the Vail Village. We have reviewed the existing "Streetscape Master Plan" and have not encountered any surprises, but there are no specific sign, directory or wayfinding devices located or rendered. We believe these designs exist and, with an inventory, location review and supplemental additions, we will be able to mitigate tourist's anxieties. After compiling an inventory, we will be able to help you evaluate the hardware being provided by the "Worlds" event, for inclusion in a permanent installation. We propose to create a document that describes the existing conditions and points out specific areas of opportunity. This document would consist of written descriptions with photo documentation. After the inventory, we will be able to provide design services, as determined, to implement the evaluation conclusions. CommArts proposes a fee of $7,500 for this evaluation document. Upon your approval of this proposal, we would be able to begin work immediately.

Henderson Re: Proposed changes in the maximum building code height Iwish to express my objection to the proposed zoning change that would open the door for major changes in the future of Lionshead. As a property owner in Vantage Point I am naturally concerned about some day loosing my view and simultaneously some of my real estate value due to a new high rise building between Vantage Point and the mountain. While no one can guarantee this view forever as someone could successfully sue for a zoning variance, lot's not make it easy for them. I understand the desire to redevelop the old gondola building and Sunbird Lodge property _ to obtain the highest and best use for the Rite, but can't that be done within the building envelope that currently exists? If not, then why not apply for a SDDY It has worked well in the past and seems like the perfect solution for this situation. I think Lionshead could use some major changes to improve the village reel everyone enjoys in Vail_ In fact 1 would embrace any redevelopment plan which could improve the lifestyle of Lionshead, but a lot of tall buildings is not the answer. In my opinion Lionshead already has more of that than it should including Vantage Point. The only redeeming factor these existing buildings have is that they act as a noise and visual buffer for the village ftom I-70. Let's focus on improving Lionshead's lifestyle. That is the best way to insure an ever increasing; reLUTn on investment. for Vail Associates, et. A A short Lorin fix with highm density will result in diminishing returns in the future via vacancies due to lack of interest on the part of visitors.

The Eagle County Board of Commissioners held a marathon meeting Tuesday night on a special use permit it issued to Vail Associates for the Category III in 1986, "More than 60 people signed tip to speak Tuesday night and most of those people are yet to get their turn at the podium," said assistant county administrator Jack Ingstad. "The extension of the written comment period is to provide an opportunity for public comment on Cat III without the need to return to Eagle to speak on the record. All written comment received by March 31, 1998 will be made part of the public record." The county commissioners may place additional conditions on the 1986 ski expansion approval. "We will take written suggestions on proposed permit conditions that relate to the environment," said county attorney Tim Fritze. The deadline for written proposed permit conditions is also March 31.

Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Council Members: In 1981 we purchased a prime ski week time share at Vantage Point, Lionshead. In addition to the convenience to the ski lifts and safety for our children, we chose Vantage Point because of the view of Vail Mountain. We are most concerned that any change in the Lionshead building height restrictions would greatly diminish the mountain experience---the view as well as creating a walled-in city. We strongly urge your council to consider those of us who have been property owners for many years. We literally have paid our dues, spent our vacation dollars, and encouraged our family and friends to do the same. The negative impact in cutting off our view and changing the skyline of Lionshead, is to devastate the property value of Vantage Point. Sincerely, CC~~ Randy and Bobbie Hardy I [m1vL w 0&3i 1998 DR.

Fronta Road Association of Travel Marketing Executives ga National Association of Business Economists Vail, CO 81657 Dear Town Council/PEC: We understand that you are considering doubling the building height restrictions in the Lionshead area. We are writing to express our opposition to increasing the building height restrictions in Lionshead. We purchased a timeshare week in Vantage Point 20 years ago solely because it is near the gondola and offers a view of Vail Mountain. We have made many winter visits to Vail because of our timeshare and its view. In recent years, we have not been able to come out every year, so have relied on the unit's attractiveness to renters to pay for the annual upkeep. Several tenants have specifically commented they rented the unit because of the lovely view. If you allow higher buildings in Lionshead, it will only be a matter of time before someone builds a 90-foot building in front of our unit. This will severely reduce our interest in visiting Vail in the winter, as well as our rental prospects. Indeed, we are sure we would seriously consider putting our week up for sale under such conditions, although loss of the view would reduce the sales value of our unit. While we understand there is no legal protection of our view, we hope you will find a moral obligation to retain the views that brought many of us to Vail to buy and to rent, and that keep us coming back. Please maintain the current building height restrictions in Lionshead. Sincerely, `1- A D. C. Frechtling Joy A.

In connection with the proposed Lionshead Rezoning Plan, we are strongly opposed to the proposal to double the building height restrictions. The increased heights may well result in construction that would block our views of the ski mountain and therefore decrease the value of our property and our enjoyment of it. We strongly oppose the proposed Plan and request that The Council veto the request.

Work Session Briefs Councilmembers present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz --Design Review Board Interviews The Council interviewed Michelle Blemel, Clark Brittan, C. Barrie Tyler and Hans Woldrich for appointment to the Design Review Board. Another applicant, Christopher Burner, was unable to attend the meeting. The Council will appoint two members for two-year terms at its March 17 evening meeting. The terms of Clark Brittan and Ted Hingst are due to expire on March 31. The newly-appointed members will join Brent Alm, Bill Pierce and a Planning and Environmental Commission representative on the board. --PEC/DRB Review During an overview of Monday's Planning and Environmental Commission meeting, Councilmembers heard a brief update on the Lionshead height and mass discussion. After requesting more information regarding density and square footage impacts, PEC members have asked for another work session on the topic. The PEC did reach consensus Monday on a floor-to-floor height of 11.5 feet, but could not reach consensus on an overall height and mass recommendation. Councilmember Kevin Foley asked that meeting minutes be distributed to the Council. For more information, contact Mike Mollica, project manager, at 479-2144. --Discussion of Skateboard Park @ Lionshead Parking Structure for 1998 The Council agreed to allow the Vail Recreation District and other representatives involved in last year's temporary skateboard park project to proceed through the process to reapply for conditional use permit from the Planning and Environmental Commission to bring the skateboard park back to the top deck of the Lionshead parking structure. During discussion, organizers said they'd be interested in asking for a bigger space this year so that a separate area could be created for beginners. The application will be considered at a future meeting of the PEC. For more information, contact Diane Johnson with the Vail Recreation District at 479-2292. --Discussion of 1998 TOV Community Survey The Council reviewed and signed off on the questions to be used for the annual Town of Vail community survey which will be mailed March 25. Many of the questions are carried over from year to year for bench marking purposes. New this year, will be a series of questions that will probe why some residents don't use the town's transit system. The responses could help produce adjustments to the transit system to increase local ridership. There's also a question (more) Low RECYCLEDPAPER Add 1/TOV Council Highlights/3.10.98 that probes the importance of the town's role in improving Vail's economic vitality. Respondents also will be asked to prioritize a list of potential civic uses, such as a performing arts center, a second ice rink, skateboard park, a convention center, as well as other facilities, to determine what uses, in addition to affordable housing, ought to be pursued on Town of Vail lands. Preliminary results will be available in mid-April. --Information Update Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer reported that she and Town Manager Bob. McLaurin attended a seminar at the Eagle County Regional Airport last week that included a tour of the facilities. It was noted that Eagle County has done an excellent job in partnering with a variety of agencies to reduce costs and improve overall services. The airport is now delivering up to 60 percent of the Vail Valley's destination guests. It was suggested that a tour be scheduled for the Vail Town Council. In preparation for installation of the snowmelt project for the stairways and top deck of the Vail Transportation Center, it was noted that the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau Information Office may be closed for the first four to six weeks of the project to increase accessibility by the contractor. During this time, signs will direct visitors to both structures for parking. Those seeking information will be directed to the Lionshead Visitor Center. --Council Reports Ludwig Kurz, who represents the Council on the Channel 5 board, indicated that Channel 5 is willing to assist the town with its communications needs. Kevin Foley indicated the Vail Recreation District has requested another joint planning session with the Town Council. The meeting has been scheduled for the June 16 work session, following the VRD election in May. Michael Arnett, who attends the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team meetings, indicated that a local financial planner, Peter Zent, has offered his expertise as a community service to help in establishing criteria for an affordable housing district. After reviewing a staff memo- from Andy Knudtsen, the town's senior housing policy planner, regarding a taxing question that was raised during consideration of the Habitat for Humanity development proposal, Michael Jewett asked that a letter be sent from the Eagle County Assessor confirming--in writing--the verbal clarification summarized in the staff memo. The position of the county is to assess taxes based on the sales price. For deed-restricted housing, sales prices are capped at an annual appreciation rate of three percent; thus, future taxes would be capped as well. --Other Councilmembers reacted positively to publication of the Town of Vail's community newsletter. The new publication will be produced twice a year and will be mailed to residents, business and second homeowners. Michael Jewett requested clarification on: 1) the past Town Council; 2) sitting Council; and 3) individual Councilmember roles regarding the current Category III review. During a discussion with Town Attorney Tom Moorhead, it was noted that the current Council is bound by a 1995 Town of Vail resolution approving the terms and conditions of the Town of Vail-Vail Associates managed growth agreement and the subsequent formation of the Community Task Force. Items of consideration that were included in the managed growth agreement included a cap of 19,900 (more) Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/3.10.98 skiers at any time on the mountain, the transfer of 38 acres of open space from Vail Associates to the Town of Vail, an agreement to work mutually to level out peak periods, and a $500,000 contribution from VA to the Town of Vail to supplement construction of the Main Vail roundabout. As for the issue of individual Council participation in the current Category III process, Moorhead offered the following opinion: no elected official gives up his/her right as a citizen/individual to voice his/her opinion; however, a Councilmember may not represent the entire body unless specifically authorized by the Council to do so. Also during the meeting, Jewett requested additional follow up regarding the Austria Haus lighting and sign program; asked for clarification regarding the Lionshead Parking Structure public restroom hours; and asked about the status of a carbon monoxide monitoring program in the Vail Village Parking Structure. Indications currently show a minimal problem in'the carbon monoxide levels; the town is working to address the matter. Michael Arnett suggested that Councilmembers read the assessment of the proposed Booth Creek burn area prepared by the U.S. Forest Service. Ludwig Kurz asked about the reliability of a radio commercial indicating that the Town of Vail has contributed $1,000 to the United Way campaign. To date, the town has not been approached for a contribution. Bob Armour asked and received clarification regarding the town's participation as a joint sponsor of a shopping guide organized in partnership with the Vail Village Merchant Association and the Lionshead Merchant Association, to be printed by a la Carte Publishing. Following introductory comments by Ludwig Kurz, Councilmembers commented that the American Ski Classic hosted by the Vail Valley Foundation over the weekend was a tremendous event hosted in a first-class manner.

Having lived in Colorado (Denver Area) for 25 years I have seen Denver and the rest of the State grow to a level I never would have believed. And like most things, there were benefits as well as problems associated with this growth. There was a time that development in the form of growth in the Vail Valley was a benefit. It was through this growth that we could justify and sustain the infrastructure and services that have made Vail the desireable (world class) destination that it has become. However, I do not believe that today's development plans should focus on growth. The doubling of building height restrictions will not only affect the aesthetic beauty of the valley, but will also tax existing roads and other infrastructure to an unacceptable degree. Not to mention the additional and unavoidable air pollution problems this will create. I have seen this phenomenon in Denver, and hope it doesn't happen in Vail. Instead, development of the valley should now focus on the improvement of services and encourage the betterment of facilities and attractions. In short, things that ADD VALUE to the existing development. The new round-abouts are an example of how existing infrastructure can be improved. I oppose the proposed increase in building height restrictions, and hope that you will defeat this proposal on 17 March, 1998. Nick Michael 6200 So.

We selected this property for the views of the mountain, and if the height restriction is changed, we fear that development would affect our mountain experience greatly. Our property value would be greatly diminished, both with the possible blocking of great views and the increased population it would bring to Lionshead. We made a decision to buy here based on the zoning in effect at the time, and feel it is unfair to change it now. Please give us the same courtesy as you did in Vail Village and give us an ordinance to protect our view corridors! DON'T RUIN LIONSHEAD. VOTE AGAINST REZONING.

Part of the charm of Vail is being able to enjoy the mountain views with relatively few obstructions. Zoning restrictions were put in place to protect the residents, both permanent and seasonal.

To: ssilver@vail.net VAIL TOWN COUNCIL To Whom It May Concern: I have just been made aware of the happenings in Vail, in relation to the "move" by Vail Associates" to turn a haven for us into a monolithic edifice to greed. When we purchased our time share in 1975 we anticipated growth, which was to be expected. This eruption was based on a natural growth of the areas tourism, winter sports and its picturesque beauty. It seems to me that "creeping eruption has given way to greed and possibly corruption". Vail has shared with us, a great deal of joy and pleasure. My children, and now grandchildren look forward to the natural beauty upon our visits. please don't destroy this. REJECT this proposal of the Vail Associates at your meeting (3/17). Let us see the mountains, and its beauty!! Let us not give into "Bad Faith" and the power brokers. Sheldon D.

Frontage Road, Vail CO 81657. Gentlemen: I am writing to express my concern about the changes under consideration for the building code at Lionshead; specifically as regards height restrictions. I understand that Vail Associates contemplates redeveloping their properties at Lionshead in a manner requiring a doubling of the existing height code. It is my earnest hope that you will reject any blanket change to the building code and continue the practice of evaluating each request for a variance on its specific merits. I have owned a time share condominium at Vantage Point since 1987 and my family of skiers has greatly enjoyed the area; indeed we have skied at Vail since the year it opened when we spent a week living there in a motor home. The Lionshead area gives a feeling of spaciousness, yet has a number of interesting shops and restaurants within easy access.

Consequently, Vail Associates in their redevelopment plans, have proposed to double the building height restrictions. Increased heights may well result in construction that would block our views of the ski mountain. Eight of our nine units face Vail Mountain. Redevelopment will also greatly incroaac the population dc,iail_y uL Lionshead. Local businessmen will be weighing in on this matter. Owners in other condominium projects will be writing in to the town council. Your Board of Directors strongly opposes the increase in building height restrictions because we believe that it will diminish the mountain experience. You. are encouraged to write in, fax, or E- mail to the Vail Town council (see attached letters).

"BUD" GATES March 11, 1998 The Honorable Rob Ford Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Rob: Last evening the County Commissioners held a public hearing to discuss and hold public testimony on the Category III expansion on Vail Mountain. During that meeting numerous issues relative to on and off-site impacts were identified and discussed. Many of the impacts of this development will be felt by the Town of Vail. Referrals were sent to various review agencies and the towns of Red Cliff, Vail and Minturn. We received written comment on those referrals from Red Cliff and Minturn. During the meeting, speakers questioned whether the current Vail Town Council supports the proposed Category III expansion. As you indicated during our town/county cooperation meeting, you wanted more opportunities to participate in decisions that impact your community. Therefore, it is imperative that Eagle County obtain a formal written position from your town council on the Category III expansion with any suggestions for mitigating the impacts to the Town of Vail. Our hearing was continued to March 19, 1998 at 6:00 p.m. I look forward to hearing from you prior to that date. Sincerely, EAGLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS es E.

Colfax Denver, CO 80203 Dear Senator Alexander: On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I wish to strongly endorse House Bill 1200, a bill for an act concerning the creation of local marketing districts, which bill is currently sponsored by Representative Jack Taylor and Senator Dave Wattenberg. It is my understanding the bill has passed the Senate Local Government Committee on March 10th and will be coming to the floor of the Senate within the next seven to ten days. The Town of Vail has taken a very active role in sponsoring and supporting this piece of legislation. It allows marketing districts to cross jurisdictional boundaries in order to reach a specific marketing goal: the generation,of marketing dollars through the imposition of a lodging tax. The bill does not impose taxes on anyone. In fact, it gives local business communities the opportunity to evaluate whether this type of district works for them. Those areas with marketing funding mechanisms already in place will not be affected unless they, too, choose to utilize the new district as a tool. Additionally, the power to create business improvement districts already exists for businesses within a municipality. This simply allows the district to cross city and county lines where appropriate. Although lodging taxes may already be imposed on a county-wide basis for marketing, this bill also will allow that same power but on a different geographical basis. Local areas will continue to look for ways to market themselves. In the case of Vail and the surrounding area, a regionally cooperative effort has been in place since 1989. However, this funding mechanism is dependent on requests to each of the participating entities on an annual basis. It is our desire to ensure that a long term marketing funding source is in place. With the loss of the state-wide tourism tax, individual towns, cities and regions have had to look at innovative ways to provide marketing dollars for their specific communities. Even if a state-wide tax were to pass sometime in the future, it would be in the best interest of these like-minded regions to continue their efforts in conjunction with that state-wide initiative. This bill, again, simply creates another tool for us to generate funds to help ourselves, and to allow us to be less dependent on state funding mechanisms. We would like to give this bill our 100% endorsement and would encourage the Senate floor to look favorably upon promoting and passing this piece of legislation. If you should have questions or require additional testimony from the Vail Town Council, please do not hesitate to call me at 479- 2100.

A request for a setback variance, a landscape variance, and a request for additional GRFA utilizing the 250 Ordinance, to allow for an addition to an existing residence, located at 4214 Columbine Way/Unit 5, Bighorn Terrace. Applicant: Joe and Lauraine Skolasinski, represented by Galen Aasland, Architect Planner: Reed Onate Galen Aasland recused himself. Reed Onate gave an overview of the staff memo. Greg Moffet asked if the applicant or the public had any comments. They did not. Gene Uselton stated that the proposal was complete and he had no comments. John Schofield had no comments. Greg Amsden had no problem with the proposal. Diane Golden commended the proposal. Greg Moffet joined in the accolades from the Commission regarding the complete material from the applicant. He said that given that this request met the criteria for additional GRFA and for the variances be found a hardship, it was not a grant of special privilege. John Schofield made a motion for approval, in accordance with the staff memo. Gene Uselton seconded the motion. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 1 The motion passed by a vote of 5-0-1. (Galen Aasland recused himself and Ann Bishop was not present for this item). Ann Bishop arrived at 2:10 pm. 2. A request for a worksession to discuss a major amendment to SDD #4, to allow for a fractional fee club, located at 1325 Westhaven Dr., Westhaven Condominiums/ Cascade Village Area A. Applicant: Gerald L. Wurhmann, represented by Robby Robinson Planner: George Ruther Gerry Wurhman, the managing partner of LLC, said there was a misinterpretation of what the application was about. He said the 15 AU's should be 15,000 sq. ft. in total GRFA. ' George Ruther explained that there should be 15 AU's comprising approximately 12,000 sq. ft. Jerry Wurhman said that as designed, the proposed AU's are classified as lock-off units by the Municipal Code, but they could remove the lock-off door and access the AU's from the hallway. George Ruther said the plans could be redrawn without adjoining doors. Gerry Wurhman said the application was in conformance with the definition of a Fractional Fee Club since they would be having 10-12 club owners. He said that Destination Hotel Resorts would manage the project with 24-hr. per day on-site management. He said that since the Vail Cascade Hotel group would manage the property, their members could use the facilities and that the application also conformed with having shops in the vicinity. Discussion issue #1: Gene Uselton asked George about the lock-off being a tradeoff. George Ruther said a 3-bedroom unit could be sold with a lock-off. He said the Town Council believed that a lock-off was not that successful in the Town of Vail and so they were not willing to grant density considerations for lock-offs in exchange for AU's. John Schofield asked about the management arrangement. Gerry Wurhman explained there would be a front desk in the entryway with a telephone to call over to the Cascade Club Hotel to register. John Schofield said the intent was to have a warm body at the front desk. George Ruther said a hotel guest typically expects an on-site manager, but the proximity of the Cascade Hotel lobby to this building could constitute an on-site manager. John Schofield said to his recollection, he was not sure that the location would take care of the intent as being on-site. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 2 Greg Amsden asked about the ramifications of an SDD amendment, when you have other residential sites in the area. George Ruther said places such as Coldstream could come in and do this same thing by applying. However, this amendment request was only applicable to the Westhaven condominium site. Mike Mollica stated there was no underlying zoning in the Cascade Village SDD. Greg Amsden said there was a lot of usage of the Cascade facility and he could see more usage with more time-shares within this SDD. - Galen Aasland stated the arrangement with the Cascade Club was an acceptable contractual agreement for the short term, but if the contract was up would there be a continuing arrangement so it would not be abandoned in 5 years. Ann Bishop shared Galen's, Greg's and John's comments and asked if the number of EHU's had changed. George Ruther said, yes. He said there were 20.EHU's. Greg Amsden suggested redesigning to house employees within the building. Ann Bishop felt it was important for an on-site manager to be in the building. Greg Moffet gave similar examples of the Wigwam and Broadmoor having long walks to the front desk, being as long as from this building to the Cascade Hotel. He said the ordinance left room to have an operating, unmanned front desk. He said as proposed, he was comfortable with the proposal. Diane Golden asked if the management agreement would always be there. Gerry Wurhman said if the agreement was terminated in the future, then the obligation to have staff full time would have to be addressed by him. Discussion issue #2: Greg Moffet asked how FFU's would mix with employee housing. George Ruther stated with the Austria Haus, all AU's were overlooking the parking structure and staff was concerned that all the AU's would be in the least desirable location. George said that staff was not suggesting that EHU's would not be appropriate.in this building, but there needed to be a discussion of the different types of uses, as the lifestyles of someone on vacation and someone living year-round were very different. Gerry Wurhman mentioned that there was acceptance of the mix in Aspen, but acceptance in Vail was not successful. He said they waited until after the Austria Haus went through to see that everything was put in place. He said that AU's were immediately adjacent to club units as there was a benefit of tying the two together if additional space was needed. He said there Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 3 would be no conflict because they would be managed by the same company and the EHU's would be ski- in, ski-out units commanding an upper level of rental people. He said the extra 4 EHU's are accessed by their own stairways and the AU's and club units were accessed by the elevator. Galen Aasland and Ann Bishop were satisfied by Mr. Wurhman's explanation. Diane Golden asked if the EHU's had parking spaces. Jerry Wurhman said, yes. Gene Uselton asked if they would be selling the EHU's. Mike Mollica stated the whole block of employee housing could be sold. John Schofield said the proposal was great in theory, but it would be a management nightmare. He said he would not want to buy a unit with the employee housing perception that exists. Jerry Wurhman said integration would not be easy. Greg Amsden was concerned about timeshares being difficult to finance. He was concerned about realistically putting this project together. Greg Moffet said this was coherent in the location and advised to go for employee housing. Discussion issue #3 Mike Mollica asked the PEC to provide any additional information to be included in the application so the applicant could move forward. Jerry Wurhman said the 1995 submittal was not being changed; only the use and interior configuration was different. Gene Uselton asked if staff had come up with the parking requirement. George Ruther said, no. Gene Uselton asked where all the cars would be parked. Jerry Wurhman stated there were 46 spaces available on the approved site plan, providing for one space for each of the 11 club units, one for each AU and one for each EHU. He said in talking with the Cascade Hotel, only 50% of the guests that arrive do so in cars. George Ruther said .7 or .8 parking spaces would be needed per AU. John Schofield asked if the front desk area could be addressed. Greg Amsden said parking would be slightly higher. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 4 Greg Moffet, Galen Aasland, Ann Bishop and Diane Golden agreed. Discussion issue #4 Jerry Wurhman explained the walkway system from the building towards the parking structure. George Ruther asked if the PEC would like a pedestrian overpass to the Cascade Hotel. The PEC said, yes. Discussion issue #5 Gene Uselton had no comments. John Schofield had no comments. Greg Amsden had no comments. Galen Aasland would like the "ruins" capped over, rather than torn down. Ann Bishop asked about a time table and if it would be built in 1998. Jerry Wurhman said, no. Diane Golden and Greg Moffet had no comments. Mike Mollica asked if the PEC was comfortable with the major SDD process or with a conditional use for the fractional fee as an option. He said staff was proceeding with the major SDD amendment. John Schofield asked if a conditional use was allowed in the PA Zone District and to check with Tom Moorhead. Greg Moffet said Council had the ability to call it up and that the major SDD amendment was the only way to go. Jim Lamont asked if the area was allowed to have FFU's with an SDD overlay and we would prefer to make this consistent community-wide. He said that the Council turned down the Austria Haus request for the front desk located at the Bavaria Haus. He said he suspected that Council was looking for consistency of treatment and also if the management contract became null and void, it should fall back to the owners as a stand-alone lodge. Galen Aasland said this proposal needed to have a back-up plan, if the management fell through, this could stand alone. The rest of the PEC agreed. 3. A request for a worksession on Stage 3 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Stage 3 includes the rationale and desired outcomes, which establish the regulatory framework for height, mass and density of buildings in the study area. Planners: Mike Mollica/Dominic Mauriello Consultants: Ethan Moore & David Kenyon (Design Workshop, Inc.) Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 5 Mike Mollica stated that this would be coming back in two weeks for a recommendation to Town Council. He said they were proposing to modify the floor-to-floor height. la. Galen Aasland stated for the record that he did consulting work for Bob Lazier, but he saw no conflict and agreed with the staff's floor-to-floor height analysis. John Schofield agrees with the 11-1/2', but felt a couple of feet could be bumped up. Mike Mollica said the lower level commercial would bump it up a couple of feet. 1b. Geographic distribution of building heights. Galen Aasland said the height was a concern and he said Ethan distributed a memo showing the buildings over height and he wanted to know what percentage over height it was. Ethan Moore said he didn't have the base data to do that. He explained with so many multiple eave heights, the scope of the existing survey didn't have that information. Galen Aasland said if 50% of the buildings were over height, then it was relevant and we would need more information. He said the PEC may want one more worksession and they needed to know what the allowable density was, given the current zoning. He said if bonus heights were given, then we need to get a handle on density. He also wanted to know about GRFA in the current zoning, as well as density resulting in height bonuses. Ann Bishop echoed Galen's comments and agreed this needed another worksession. Diane Golden also agreed with Galen and suggested addressing employee housing. Gene Uselton asked about floor heights and felt that only one sloped roof was not aesthetically appealing. Mike Mollica said there would be a variety of roof pitches, but staff was recommending that all buildings have sloping roofs. . John Schofield echoed Galen's comments. Ethan Moore said they could do a general visual assessment survey. John Schofield said it did not need to be site-specific, but just a generalization of how buildings would affect existing views. Greg Amsden read a letter from Anne Essen for the record. He also asked for an explanation on how to look at the buildings on the model. Ethan Moore said the length of the building would be encouraged towards the mountain, or north/south. He said that clearly it would not have to be true north/south. He explained that the reason for north/south was it would cause less impact from street level and allow for more light into the public spaces. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9. 1998 6 Greg Amsden encouraged Ann Essen's density approach for EHU's. Ethan Moore said the west end of Lionshead was for employee housing and would be more dense. He said higher than 5-6 story buildings were not appropriate in West Lionshead. He explained the model and said there were very few properties in Lionshead that faced north/south, but rather east/west. He said the main impact was on the Vail Associates core site. He said benefits should be given to encourage north/south to incentivize development over time Greg Moffet stated that we had the ability to put employee housing on the west end. He said his bias was towards north/south, as you would see materially different heights and also suggested disincentives for any east/west development above the 2nd floor. 1 c. Mike Mollica explained 1 c. was about a 5-story building plus a roof. Dominic Mauriello explained his survey. He said the Vail Village Master Plan said a floor-to-floor height was 9'. He explained that in 1970, the CC2 Zone was adopted and in 1973 an amendment stated building height was to be 45' and 48'. He said that there were 19 buildings built before 1973 with no height limitation. Galen Aasland agreed with the north/south layout. He said a 4:12 roof and a 5:12 roof left room for a story in the roof. He felt the east/west structures could be 4-story buildings. Ethan Moore gave an overview of the bonus plan for the north/south building height and said a 6th story could be allowed before the roof. Greg Moffet said north/south buildings should be cascaded. He felt we shouldn't do anything to incentivize east/west buildings or it would just create another Beaver Creek. He said there needed to be greater floor-to-floor heights and he wanted sloped roofs. Galen Aasland said if a developer chose an east/west orientation, he shouldn't get any incentives. He said east/west should be lower than 5 stories . Greg Moffet would like to see only 2 stories for east/west, but taller cascading structures for north/south to keep light coming in. He said we could encourage more height, by coming out on the bottom. Gene Uselton had no comments. John Schofield echoed the lowering of anything east/west. He felt that anything past the 4 story range would have to be stepped back. He said we needed to be sensitive to the moral obligations and why people come here. Greg Moffet suggested using development incentives to encourage north/south. John Schofield suggested landscaping incentives. Ethan Moore asked the PEC for their thoughts on maximum height for north/south buildings. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 7 John Schofield said a pitched roof would be filled with dormers and therefore the mass would be huge. He said once we went over 4-5 stories, we had to be careful. Greg Amsden said east/west should be only 4 stories and north/south should have fenestration in the roof. He said he was fearful of the south side. Galen Aasland said he saw potential with what John suggested about 0 lot lines. He said that existing buildings economics are such that Kenny's Double Diamond will always have an east/west orientation, and what would be the threshold so that people who have space will have the assurance of what will happen to their space. He said until he saw some density figures, he would not comment. He was very afraid of the metropolis look. Ann Bishop said Galen was correct in needing more specifics regarding height and density. She was concerned with the views after reading letters from the public. Ethan Moore stated the effort was to come up with a set of architectural guidelines to meet common goals, such as views, sunlight, etc. in Lionshead. Ann Bishop stated that this particular group of letters was very vocal in what they expected from the Town of Vail. Mike Mollica asked Ann what specific information she wanted from staff. Ann Bishop answered the same as Galen wanted. Galen Aasland wanted to know what the current GRFA was for the core site and basically what floor area was allowed on the lot under the current zoning. He would like to see a system that would address if we abandon zoning, then bonuses for roofs would allow 7 times the density or 1-1/2 what the density is now. He would also like to know how it would affect existing buildings and what are we doing to encourage redevelopment from them. Mike Mollica asked if they wanted gross floor area site-by-site. He said it would be a massive project to get that information. He said it could be done, but not in two weeks. Galen Aasland suggested just the core site, as it would give a way to see it and what was really allowed there today with the usage. Mike Mollica said we would not make an attempt to look at density, but we can do gross floor area. Greg Amsden suggested three columns, existing, potential and maximum potential. Greg Moffet asked for any public comment. Geoff Wright said a massive 48' structure would not get approved on the core site. Greg Amsden said if there is no view corridor, there are no rights of views. Ann Bishop said there were legal issues involved in this. Dominic Mauriello stated the Town didn't have floor plans for all the buildings in Lionshead. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 8 Y 4 Greg Moffet asked if Ethan could eyeball the request. Ethan Moore said he had GRFA for all the buildings in Lionshead and could make a ballpark density guess for Lionshead. He said he could put together basic information, but it would not be legally defensible and also it was not in the scope of our contract. Galen Aasland said he would like to see a close ballpark figure that Ethan suggested and would like to see most of Lionshead done. Jim Lamont said the information is on a disc in the County. Diane Golden said she had no further comments. Gene Uselton asked about the roofs. Ethan Moore said there will be a uniform distribution of buildings. He explained you had to look at how buildings relate to public space, rather than having those close to the creek lower or those up against the Frontage Rd. being higher. Gene Uselton said the property owners along the Frontage Rd. were complaining. Greg Moffet confirmed that several PEC members needed more information. He summarized that the north/south layout was sufficient and encouraged the removal of incentives for east/west orientation. Mike Mollica asked if the Commission was comfortable with the exclusions on page 4, a and b of the staff memo. Ethan Moore said there were height restrictions in the retail mall area adjacent to the public spaces. Greg Moffet said it still looked like Beaver Creek, with the 4-story uninterrupted wall. There were no other comments from the other Commissioners. Mike Mollica agreed and said we have more work to do before we go any further. He said there was Eagle County Assessor information on floor area and building height percentages to bring back to the PEC. John Schofield said that site coverage and landscaping should be tied into incentives as a carrot to get what you want and make the redevelopment more interesting. He said incentives could be done with setbacks and landscaping. He said all the Commissioners wanted the buildings to be stepped back. Dominic Mauriello said shop owners would be encouraged to move in along the corridors that are too wide. He said successful retail was decreased where there is landscaping in the mall. Mike Mollica said the Council was not comfortable with the FFU's being eliminated from the density calculations and summarized that the PEC was on board with that. Ann Bishop left at 4:40 pm. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 9 w Bob Lazier said his general observations were that there was no impact from a financial viewpoint and a little gain for commercial, but not for condominiums. He said to some degree, the Arcade Building and Lifthouse Associations are susceptible in improving Lionshead and want to change the feeling of Lionshead, but want to protect some views. He stated that this guideline was to get from A to B with some kind of reasonableness. He said the biggest site was the VA site. He said he didn't want the mall level to get darker or higher. Diane Golden left at 4:45 pm. Bob Lazier said the north/south corridor was the key issue and the grade needed to be started where the floor heights were established. He said if you limit the VA site to a 5-story building height, you wouldn't see buildings as they get closer to the stream. He said he liked the guidelines. He said the Lifthouse people were very concerned and VA would get a lot of heat if they don't do a north/south orientation. He said with this Master Plan, new view corridors would be brought in. He asked how do we entice the Lifthouse, which was not the upper echelon nor hugely sophisticated, to improve their facility, as they did want to. He suggested giving people some incentive to improve on a site-to-site basis. He said there should be a 5-story limitation on east/west and there needed to be incentives for improvements. He said that the Arcade Building was pro in improving the building. Rob Levine, General Manager of the Antlers, agreed with Bob Lazier regarding incentives. He said with the reality of redevelopment, with 25 on the list and 20 being Condo Associations, it was not realistic to build AU's. He said in defense of the DU's, the Town had to assure that fee simple units be granted. He encouraged the Council or Tom Moorhead to figure out a way to have some site coverage without going higher and suggested not doing it with FFU's, but to do it with DU's. Greg Moffet summarized that proceeds from a sale would build an EHU. He said parking needed to be addressed as well as sun/shade, landscaping etc. He suggested allowing Associations to sell new units on the open market and use the proceeds to upgrade. John Schofield asked how they would receive deed restrictions. Rob Levine said it would decrease the value of the unit, but would increase the value of Lionshead. He said that assumption should be made going in. He said out of 70 units in the Antlers, 69 rent actively in the rental pool and that is why we have been successful . John Schofield said the Commission and Council would be interested in how you accomplished that. Rob Levine said addressing the common areas incentivizes other people to fix up. Bob Lazier said the design of the unit is why rental pools were successful. Rob Levine said we have been seeing a large demand for 3-4 bedroom units. Jim Lamont, EVHA, asked if there were requirements in the code to deed restrict. Mike Mollica said there was in the Subdivision Regs in the condo conversion provision, but it was very difficult to enforce. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 10 Jim Lamont said architects wanted a higher ceiling so with a 48' height, and no set floor to floor, it would give them flexibility. He said there was an issue with flat roofs. Dominic Mauriello said it didn't become 48' until the mid 80's. Jim Lamont said if the Code was enforced, keeping it to the minimum 8', you could get 6 floors. Ethan Moore said the Architectural Guidelines will state 9' so you would not be able to squeeze in a substandard unit. Jim Lamont asked if 8' was allowed in the code, why couldn't it.be done. Ethan Moore said it would not be a high quality product, if at 8'. Jim Lamont said the argument would be that the goal was to maximize warm beds and was a 9' height limit in an EHU that much in demand . He said a master plan was an economic system. He said what we were dealing with here was going from a controlled growth economy based on no competition for the last 30 years to a free market and throwing out all the regs. He said to call this a service-based economy that provides the labor force (2 to 1) with facilities. He said we needed numbers, as we were short 1,400 beds with 62% of employees needing housing. He asked where we were going to put these employees and there may not be enough square footage to accomplish what we were trying to do. He said we still had to look at the bottom line numbers. He asked about the infrastructure improvements and also can we get everyone through the main Vail roundabout at 8am in the morning. He advised not dodging the issues on the numbers. Geoff Wright, from Destination Resorts, agreed with Jim Lamont regarding the employees. He said the north\south to 102' seemed monumental and massive and very similar to Keystone. He said the width of a north\south building needed to be identified and how close the next building would be needed to be addressed. He asked where fractional ownership fell into a bonus. He was concerned about setbacks with two properties next to each other and both redeveloping. He said he has yet to see the view corridors and said we needed to define them. Ethan Moore explained that in Stage 3 there was a preliminary location for the 5 view corridors and in Stage 5 they would act as a- critical design constraint. Geoff Wright said at this point, we should have some idea. Mike Mollica suggested indicating the view corridors on the model. Geoff Wright said we don't want to create development opportunities, just because it's allowed. Jim Lamont asked if horizontal zoning got thrown out. Mike Mollica said, no. Galen Aasland said office space had not been discussed, which was one of the failures of Beaver Creek and Keystone and so he would like to see that addressed. Greg Moffet said office space makes a marginal service viable. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes March 9, 1998 11 fi A Bob Lazier said he agreed with Galen regarding office space. Jim Lamont said that was why he raised the horizontal zoning question. Gene Uselton said Vail had many voices, with some that did not have a vote. John Schofield said we were looking for anything, not 100% accurate and not a comprehensive study. Ethan Moore stated we were not trying to dodge the numbers issue. Greg Moffet summarized that office space was worth looking into as an economic engine. He said the PEC had asked staff for more work, but that they appreciated the effort put in. 4.

The central plaza area is unsurpassed in convenience and esthetic beauty which could be destroyed by overbuilding this area. In addition those living in Vantage Point could conceivable experience a devastating loss to property values if views to the mountain were lost. It is my belief that a vote of all affected property owners would be in the best interest of the community as a whole.

Its view of the ski slopes and its location were the reason why I chose that particular location. I strongly disagree with Vail's proposed double in building height restrictions in the area, not only because of the view blockage, but also because of the increased density of people it will bring.

I have not been aware of the details of the majore change for Lionshead through their Lionshead Development Master plan until I received the NOTICE from Vantage Point a few weeks ago. My understanding on this matter is that this change of building code height and mass restrictions would allow the developer(s) to "change the face" of Lionshead disregard the concerns of the local property owners. I am not a politician, but I do believe any resident or property owner of Vail^Lionshead town should have a voice on the planning of that area. 1 own a condominium in .Lionshead (Vantage Point) since 1975 (23 years) kgien Lionshead was a very nice and quiet small town with a beautiful mountainous serroundings. My family used to take leisure walks or riding bicycles from Lionshead to Vail. we TAVE the views from our condo directly facing the ski runs of the mountain in Lionshead without any visual obstruction. All these passing years, the Vail--Lionshead areas have been developed to a point beyond recognition. I am not against progress but a reckless "over-build" by profit-minded developers or merchants will eventually destroy the beauty of Lionshead. Therefore, I am totally against the change of the current code and strong oppose the increase in building height restrictions. Your consideration will be very much appreciated. / Sincerely yours, Kenneth Yue, P Mar 113 98 05:22p Joseph M.

The bill will be presented to the Senate this week by Senator Dave Wattenberg. It will likely pass the Senate and move to your office for ratification. The bill will allow for business owners in Colorado and the Vail Valley to create much needed local marketing districts by means of a tax on accommodations. Our resort area currently has limited marketing resources, and we hope to unify and focus our combined resources on tourism development through the establishment of a local marketing district. The lack of a statewide tourism program has brought about dramatic reductions in the number of visitors to the state. This legislation will give us the ability to proactively address this loss of business. Sincerely, ;TOO OF VAIL E.

Frontage Road Vail, Co. 81657 Re: Valuation of Deed Restricted Properties Dear Andy, As per your request, l am reiterating the content of our previous conversation regarding the valuation of deed restricted properties. Amendment one to the Colorado Constitution prohibits the Assessor from using any other approach to value besides the Market or Sales Comparison Approach to value for residential property. The example that we discussed was the Vail Commons project, where the decd restrictions dictate a sale price that is capped at 3% annual appreciation. Therefor, any subsequent sales in the project will be governed by the deed restriction and the valuation will rcEleet the capped appreciation. Other sales from outside the complex cannot be compared to this project without detailed analysis, as they may or may not have the same appreciation restrictions. Any other properties that are created with deed restrictions would need to be analyzed on a one on one basis to determine the extent and severity of the restriction, as the restrictions could vary greatly hased on the intent of the document, which could impact valuation differently. Hopefully, the above will clarify the issue. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at the above address. Sincerely, Ru B. Berglund Eagle County Assessor's Office Box 449 Eagle, Co. 81631
