including the mix of high end/second home units, the amount of
commercial square footage, the overall density, the impacts on adjacent
infrastructure and traffic flow, and the affordable housing component.

County Commissioners and County Planning Commission by letters of

County Recreation Authority, discussions have continued between the
Authority and the District to engage in a joint planning process for the two
properties. This joint planning process is an approach that has been
consistently recommended by the Community Development Department
of Eagle County.
The purpose of this Agreement is to reflect the agreement of the parties
that the Miller Ranch and Berry Creek 5th Filing will be developed as if
the two parcels were one and with the designations set forth on the
Concept Plan which is part of the Agreement.
The Concept Plan provides for designated uses of a high school site
being located on the western most edge of the Berry Creek 5th parcel.
There will be portions of the Miller Ranch which will be conveyed to the
Recreation Authority for recreational, housing, and open space uses.
The Agreement will contain specific contingencies that must be met
before there would be any conveyance of property between the entities.
The other members of the Eagle County Recreation Authority have
unanimously agreed to proceed with this Intergovernmental Agreement

Re: Vail Valley Centre
Dear Planning Commission:
On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I wanted to take this opportunity to advise you of the Town of
Vail's position regarding the proposed Vail Valley Centre. While much of the discussion and debate
surrounding this proposed project has centered around the Town of Avon, there has been little or no
discussion regarding the impacts on the Town of Vail.
The Town of Vail remains extremely concerned about the overall impacts of this project. However,
we are hesitant to make detailed comments because we have not yet had a formal presentation by the
developers. Because of the 40 day rule, we fully intend to make formal comments following a
presentation by Peter Jamar to the Vail Town Council on March 24, 1998. To start, we are
concerned about the proposed uses: the mix of high end/second home units, and preponderance of
commercial square footage, the overall density, the impacts on adjacent infrastructure and traffic
flow, the affordable housing component - to name a few.
For your information, I have attached a copy of the letter which was forwarded to the Eagle County
Community Development staff for their consideration in reviewing this project. It appears to us that
none of our concerns were addressed in the staffs review of this project. As indicated, we will be
taking a formal position on this project later this month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
ZTOOF V

Re: Vail Valley Centre PUD Sketch Plan Application - File Number PDS-00008
Dcar Corti nissioners:
The Town of %'ail appseciatcs the opprrtunity to review, and provide comments and
recommendations, on the Vail Valley Centric PUD sketch plan application.
The Town of Vail staff has reviewed the proposed sketch plan and we have identified areas of
concern. We feel that there arc issues that are either not addressed, or have not been addressed in
sufficicnt detail to fully understand the potential impacts of the development. We encourage
Eagle County to consider these issues when reviewing the sketch plan.
Ovcrall, the "fawn of Vail h;licvcs that large-scale dcvclopmc?,ts such as this sketch plan, should
l c reviewed under the regulations of the jurisdiction that will most likely feel the brunt of the
iilipacts associated with the development. This would. in the case of the Vail Valley Centre, be
the Town of Avon. We understand that the developer of the Vail Valley Centre and the Town of
Avon have come to an impasse on certain development-related issues, however, we feel very
strongly that annexation into the Town of Avon, and review and approval of the plan, should be
conducted by that municipality.
It is our understanding that the Eagle County Commissioners have not approved the "Three-Mile
Plan" which the Town of'Avon has prepared. Although we arc not privy to the details of the
Plan, we encourage Eagle County and the To,.-/n of Avon to work cooperatively on any
outstanding issues which are holding up the formal adoption of the "Three-Mile Plan". We
believe that this Plan should then become the framework by which the Vail Valley Centre (VVC)
sketch plan is reviewed.

RECYCLb'DPAYER
OW
,
Tiic Town of Vail staff has rcvicwcd thc Scptcmbcr 16, 1997 Icttcr scnt to you by Michacl
Matzko, Town of Avon Dircctor of Community Dcvclopmcnt. Thc Town of Vail strongly
supports thc issucs and conccrns raiscd in Mr. Matzko's lcttcr rclatcd to potcntiai impacts to thc
Town of Avon and thc rcgion as a wholc. Wc ask that Eaglc County givc scriouti considcration
t0 t}IOSC ISSUCS.
in addition to our gcncral conccrns statcd abovc, thc following is a summary of thc issues thc
Town of Vail has idcntificd. Wc hopc that our commcnts arc hcipfui during thc rcvicw of thc - - V VC skctch plan: . . _ - - - - _ ,
Land USe:
1• Rcgional transportation issucs arc not thoroughly addresscd. Thcrc is somc discussion
rcoarding mass transit, howcvcr, thcrc is littic discussion about thc potcntial impacts on
roads outsidc of East Bcavcr Crcck Boulcvard. Thcre should bc adcquatc documcntation
anci rcquircmcnts wliich insurc that thc additional dcmand gencratcd by thc VVC
dcvclopmcnt is providcd for, or escrowcd, by thc applicant.
With thc proposcd high Icvcl of dcnsity at thc VVC, thcrc will bc impacts on roads outsidc
of thc arca, as vchicular trips arc distributcd out of thc dcvclopmcnt. As an cxamplc, thc
Town of Vail has rcccntly had a nccd to upgradc our I-70 intcrchangcs (Main Vail and
W'cst Vail) cvcn though thc Town is approximatcly 90-950/o built-out. Wc bclicvc that a
significant portion of thc incrcasc in vchicular trips in thc 7'own of Vail is gcncratcd from
"down vallcy" dcvclopmcnt.
Phasing: Although thcrc is a phasing, plan for thc VVC, wc havc scrious conccros
rcuarding a rcqucst fior approval of this cntirc plan. Wc arc vcry conccmcd about thc
proposcd dcnsitics (both commcrcial and residcntial) and Spccifically, thc proposcd
950,000 squarc fcct of commcrcial spacc. Wc bclicvc that markct studics should bc
providcd, thcrcby documcnting thc nccd for this lcvcl of dcvclopmcnt, as wcl) as thc
timinR.
Wc fccl that thc ovcrall carrying capacity of thc WC propcrty, and of the Eaglc Rivcr
Vallcy, has not bccn adcquatcly quantificd. ?hc Town of Vail bclievcs that thc cntirc
projcct bc rcvicwcd (all phascs), for its cumulativc impacts. Howcvcr, wc would
recommend that the County act only on the first phase of the development at this time. -
Futurc phascs should bc revicwed when the dcmand for the additional devcloprnent is
justificd.
3. Thc Town of Vail in conjunetion with the U.S. Forest Service has, over the past six yeats,
invcstcd significant timc and moncy in the dcvclopmcnt of a Land Owncrship Adjustrnent
Plan. 7'his Plan identifies land exchange and land acquisition actions around the perimeter
of thc Town of Vail, to prcvcnt dcvelopmcnt above the Vail Valley and immcdiately
outsidc of thc Town's jurisdiction.
2
~
Thc Town of Vail is conccmcd about thc location of thc castcrn residcntial lots in thc
VVC dcvclopmcnt. Although wc do not bclicvc thc structures wouid bc visually apparcnt
from thc Vail Valicy, wc arc obviously conccrncd about ridgciinc dcvclopmcnt and any
impact thc structures may prescnt during thc cvcning hours (night lighting). Howcvcr,
wc fccl that thctic conccrns could bc mitigatcd by modifying thc building cnvclopcs, such
that thc building sitcs arc locatcd in thc icast visiblc locations. During thc prcliminary plan
phasc, wc would likc to rcvicw and commcnt on thc specific locations of thc building
. cnvclopcs.
4. Thc Town of Vail has the undcrstanding that immediatcly adjacent to thc VVC proposal, thcrc arc approximately three, 35 acrc parccis. Thcsc parccls are privately owned and arc
locatcd in thc northcast quartcr of Scction ] 0(cast of T'racr Crcck). It, is also our
understanding that vchicular acccss to thcsc parccls would bc providcd by a dcdicatcd
acccss cascment through the VVC prqject. Although we recognize that thcrc may bc
owncrship issucs, we would prcfcr that all thc private lands in this gcneral area be included
in thc VVC Planncd Unit Dcvclopmcnt. Wc fccl strongly about comprehensivcly planning
thc arca and would recommcnd that thcsc parccls bc brought into thc proccss.
Environmental oncerns:
1. Wildlifc: Eaglc County and Vail residcnts consistcntly indicatc in community survcys that
thc prescncc of wildlifc is an important rcason why thcy movcd to thc Vail Vallcv. Thc
samc Iicrds of dccr and clk that arc prescnt in thc Vail Vallcy dcpcnd on habitat in thc Vail
Vallcy Ccntrc, on thc north sidc of thc Eaelc River. Thc proposcd dcvclopmcnt on thc
north sicic of thc Eaglc Rivcr will signifcantly impact dccr and clk habitat. Figurc 19 of
thc skctch plan indicatcs how dccr movc through thc proposcd dcvclopmcnt in and out of
thc Vail Vallcy, via thc wildlifc undcc-pass in Dowd Junction. As proposcd, thc VVC
dcvclopmcnt would impact this migratory routc. In addition, thc dcvclopmcnt of this arca
would impact wintcr habitat for clk that arc also prescnt in thc Vail Vallcy.
Watcr: Thc Eaglc Rivcr Watcrshcd Plan and a rcport by thc Eaglc Rivcr Asscmbly both
concludc that thcrc is not cnough "wct" watcr in thc basin to ensurc that minimum in-
str-cam flows arc not violatcd. In fact, an "additional 3,000 to 4,000 acrc fcct of watcr
nccds to bc storcd and relcascd into thc Eagle Rivcr during dry times of thc year" to
support cxisting dcvelopmcnt. Watcr rights may cxist for thc VVC propcrty, but actual
watcr docs not appear to exist to support this devclopment and prcvent further
dcgradation of the Eagle Rivcr fishcry. In 1996, $1.2 million in sales was generated in the -
Town of Vail from retail and guidc fishing companics alone (that use both Gorc Creek and
the Eaglc River). Fishing expcnditures in Eagle County are estimated at $7.6 million
(Eagle Rivcr Watershed Plan, 1997).
Affordable Housin-
1. ?he applicant's statements regarding thc proposed number of employees (approx 3,725),
based on thc square footage of commercial space proposed, appears to be a reasonable
3
~
cstimatc. Although the VVC is proposing to providc up to 400 affordablc dwclling units,
the Town of Vail is conccrncd with the applicant's proposal to housc only 20"/0 of the
projcctcd numbcr of cmployccs (at 2-55 pcrsons pcr unit). Wc are spccifically conccrncd
about the socio-cconornic impacts associatcd with the approximatcly 3,000 cmployccs
who will not bc houscd within the dcvclopmcnt.
Thc Town is additionally conccrncd with the mcthod which will bc uscd to cnsurc that this
housing will bc provided for the employecs now, and in the futurc. From scvcral
cxpcricnccs with affordablc/cmploycc housing in Vail ovcr the last 25 ycars, wc havc • -
found that limitcd dccd restrictions arc highly incffcctivc. the industry standard for dccd restrictions, as scen in Aspen, Summit County, Carbondalc, Avon and Vail, includes thrce
salicnt points:
*Thc units must bc owncr occupicd (with for-salc units) and by cmployccs
working an avcragc of30 hours a wcck or morc in the loca) community (Eaglc
County in this casc);
*7'hc resalc cap is limitcd to 3%; and
*?hc restrictions must run in pcrpctuity.
(n Vail, wc havc scvcral dcvclopmcnts wliich wcrc originally approvcd as cmploycc
housing (i.c Pitkin Crcck Park and Timbcr Ridgc), and now the Town is sccing the
cmploycc units convcrtcd to sccond homcs. Although the potcntial for the convcrsion at
Timbcr Ridgc rcmains to bc sccn, as the dccd restrictions cxpirc in the ycar 2001, the
community's conccrn about this is runninQ vcry high.
In summary, our cxpcricncc shows that the initial provision of housing will bc climinatcd
Nvithout resalc caps AND pcnnancnt dccd restrictions. Thc Town of Vail rccornmcnds
that Eaglc County rcquirc thcsc provisionti in dccd restrictions for all affordablc/cmploycc
housing in the VVC.
" M isc:
1. A trail cascmcnt which providcs public acccss, that would link the Davos 7'rail and the
Rcd and Whitc Mountain Road, should bc rcquircd as a part of this dcvclopment. 1"his
linkagc would providc an invaluablc oppotrtunity for a soft trail systcm from Vail to
Gfcnwood Springs.
2. The Town of Vail objects to the proposed name of the development. We feel that the I
namc Vail Vallcy Ccntre is a misnomcr, and furthcr, we believc that this name takcs away
from the identity ofthe Town of Vail (and Vail Village) proper.
In summary, we believe that the appropriatc rcview process for a project of this magnitude, is the
anncxation and rezoning proccss of the ?own of Avon. Therefore, we rccommend that the
proposed VVC skctch plan be rcviewed by, and annexed into, the Town of Avon. We urge the
Counry to give additional consideration to Avon's "?hrce-Mile Plan" and consider its formal
adoption.

Re: Overhead Power Lines from Huffehr Creek to Red Sandstone
Dear Mr. Atwell:
I have received your letter. Thank you for responding for so
quickly. I am writinq to inform you as to what I have done so far.
First, I have tried to contact John Boyd of Holy Cross Electric.
2 am tryinq to qet him to give the schedule of when work would
begin and how long it wi11 take.'I am also requesting a materials
list with a cost estimate attached. This estimate will be used to
make sure that there is enough money collected to finish the
project.
Second, I have talked with Jim Curnutte with Community Development
Department. Jim has informed me of how the underground project
I first began. Through the town review process, Briar Patch L.L.C. is
required to lower the overhead power lines on their property. When
Briar Patch contacted Holy Cross, Holy Cross would not a11ow
undergrounding on Briar Patch property only, but has required the
power line to be undergrounded all the way to Red Sandstone. Briar
Patch and Holy Cross have neqotiated an agreement between each
other. It is my understanding that Jim Guida wi11 be the project
manager for this undergrounding project.
Jim stated that Building plans for envelope "C" have been approved
by Town staff, DRB, and PEC. This approval is based upon the
agreement reached with your attorney and Ho1y Cross Electric.
The Town is not the responsible party either pushing or holding up
Envelope "C" project. The town does see an excellent opportunity to
work with all parties involved to reach the desired end result.
Larry Grafel Director of Public Works, informed me that Town staff
has recommended to the Vai1 Town Council $25,000.00 be committed to
' this project in 1995. Approval of this dollar amount will be
discussf..'d wi '1 th oun il in MarCh r Arr= l r~f voar
Third, in regards to contacting other residents in the area for
I
Letter to Mr. Atwell
February 6, 1995
Page 2
Contributions, please contact Jim Curnutte of Community Development
Department at 479-2138. There are some legalities with the
solicitation of funds. Jim can work this out with our Town
attorney. The creation of special districts for the undergrounding
of utilities is a long drawn out process. It is our hope we will
not need to create a special district.
Fourth, I will schedule a meeting with Holy Cross, Jim Curnutte,
Jim Guida, and you to work out all the details of this project. As
soon as I here from John Boyd I will inform you by phone as to when
and where a meeting is to held.
If I can be of any further assistance, please contact me at 479-
2158.

RE: Dobson Ice Arena Liquor License
I am writing this memorandum to apprise you of potential sanctions that the State of Colorado,
Liquor Enforcement Division may enforce against the Vail Recreation District (VRD) and
possibly Vail Concessions.
Vail Recreation District is the current liquor license holder at the Dobson Ice Arena. Vail
Concessions will be the new liquor license holder for the Dobson Ice Arena (approved by Local
Licensing Authority on January 14, 1998, however, the license is on hold with the State of
Colorado pending their approval and has not been issued at this time).
The claims of impropriety include acceptance of unlawful financial assistance by Vail Recreation
District from Coors of Colorado; some of the directors of VRD having financial interests in other
liquor establishments, which is prohibited; and in allowing someone else (Vail Concessions) to
use their liquor license to serve alcohol on their premises.
These issues are presently in the process of being resolved by Matt Cook, Enforcement Team
Supervisor of the State Liquor Code Enforcement Division and the parties involved.
I have confiscated the Vail Recreation District's current liquor license until further notice from
the State. Dobson Ice Arena, at this time, is without a liquor license.
I will keep you apprised of the outcome of these sanctions when I receive notification from the
State's Liquor Enforcement Division. If you have any additional questions, please contact me.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL LAUNCHES PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS:
ENCOURAGES VAIL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS TO HELP MAKE
TOUGH CHOICES ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITIES BY JUNE 30
(Vail)--The Vail Town Council is following through on its commitment to take aggressive
action on the employee housing crisis by launching a citizen-based planning effort that will
focus on affordable housing, its funding and other unmet community needs--all within the next
three months.
The process will result in a plan that wi!l identify: 1) which community uses in addition to
housing are most important; 2) where those community uses, including facilities, parks and
open space, should be located within the Town of Vail; and 3) how to fund affordable housing.
Vail Mayor Rob Ford says the Town Council has committed to solving the housing problem
because of the serious impact iYs having on the Vail guest experience. Because potential
employees would rather locate downvalley where they can find both jobs and affordable
housing, Vail business owners have been struggling with the many problems caused by a .
shortage of employees, Ford said. "If this situation is allowed to continue, it will negatively
affect not only our local businesses, but ultimately Vail's basic economic health, as the guest
experience deteriorates. As a public body, we'd be irresponsible just to sit back and let that
happen."
Ford said that while the process is compressed, there will be numerous opportunities for
(more)
Common Ground/Add 1
participation. "We believe this process strikes a reasonable balance in providing for a fair, open
and honest dialogue without spending additional time to reinvent the wheel." The Mayor said
that while the process is open to everyone, Town Council's responsibility is to full and part-time
, Vail residents and Vail business owners.
Ford said the process will build upon the work of Vail Tomorrow, an ongoing community-
based strategic planning process. Among the 40 actions forwarded by Vail Tomorrow last fall to
the Town of Vail was a recommendation that the Town set aside funding for affordable housing
and build it on Town-owned land. Additionally, Vail Tomorrow has urged the Town to pursue
the concept of a community center, develop more neighborhood parks and complete
implementation of the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan.
"While housing is clearly the focus of this Town Council, we recognize that we can't make
decisions in a vacuum, especially when it comes to the use of either Town-owned land or the
acquisition of privately-held land," Ford said. "This process will result in a comprehensive plan
that not onty prioritizes housing, public facilities, parks and open space, but determines where
they should be placed." Since Vail is already 93 percent built-out, Ford said he expects those
decisions to be especially challenging. "We've. got a tough road ahead. It's obvious that we -
can't fulfill everyone's needs with the scarce lands that remain."
The process, fittingly named "Common Ground: A P/an for Vail's Community Needs", gets
underway this week with release of the Town of Vail annual community survey. The survey is
being mailed to Vail property owners, residents and businesses. It asks respondents to help
prioritize community needs, evaluate guidelines for determining where to site affordable
' housing within the Town and offer suggestions for creating a dedicated funding source for
housing.

.
Common Ground/Add 2
in addition, a public workshop will be held on April 14 and repeated on April 16. At the
workshops, peopfe will receive information from the Town about possible affordabie housing
guidelines. They will also work in groups to develop priorities for community uses and make
recommendations about where to site them. "We think the best public decisions are made
when people can get information first-hand and discuss issues face-to-face, so we hope people - `
really turn out for these workshops," Ford stressed.
The survey and workshop responses will set the stage for the Town staff's development of
siting alternatives as well as funding options for housing. Public workshops will held in early
June to evaluate those siting alternatives and housing funding options.
Following the second round of community workshops in June, the Town will develop preferred
plans, and before submitting them to Town Council, will ask one more time for a community
response. The final recommended plan and housing funding package are slated to go before
Council for final approval by June 30.
To keep the process on track, Ford said the Town Council has established parameters--or
process "ground rules"--that will serve as a framework for the community discussion. Most
important of those is clarification of the Town of Vail's role in facilitating the construction and/or
acquisition of affordable housing. Government's role will not be up for public debate, Ford said.
"We've identified affordable housing as a critical part of our public infrastructure. The time is
now for the Town to work in partnership with the community to come up with reasonable,
sensible solutions to this ongoing problem." Using the target established through the Vail Tomorrow process, the Town Council's goal is to
have 62 percent of Vail's employees living within the Town of Vail by the year 2010, up from the
current figure of 38 percent.

Common Ground/Add 3
Decisions made during the Common Ground process could be among the most important of
this decade, according to Mayor Ford. "The community's economy, our individual investments
and the very lifestyle that keeps us here are all at stake." Ford said it's important that
decisions agreed to in the next three months are long-lasting. "If these decisions were easy,
- this community would have dealt with them long ago. This will likely be an agonizing and ,
grueling process, and not something anyone will want to revisit anytime soon."
He said it's also important for those who will be affected by the decisions to become involved
at the outset. "It really starts with the community survey," he said. "I encourage people to take
the time to fill it out and return it, then stay actively involved with the process between now and
June 30. The people who participate in the process will help guide the final decisions that are
made."
While the Town encourages as many full and part-time Vail residents and business owners as
possible to attend the April and June workshops, it has also developed additional participation
opportunities so that no one is left out. An Internet web site at vail.net/tov and a telephone
response line at (970) 479-2451 have been established. Both feedback mechanisms will be
ready for use beginning April 1 for those who are unable to participate on-site through the
workshops.
The Common Ground project will be managed by Andy Knudtsen, the Town's senior housing
policy planner. Anyone who would fike more information about the Common Ground process
should call Knudtsen at 479-2440 or Suzanne Silverthorn, project communications manager, at
479-2115.

Ground Rules for Common Ground
• All sites, both publicly and privately held, and funding sources will be considered
in the context of the overall community good. All participants will be encouraged
to look at community-wide impacts rather than site-specific impacts.
• Some currently undeveloped public lands wiil be developed for community _
purposes.
• The 13 properties designated in the most protected, open space classification
(per section 13.11 of the Town Charter) will not be considered for any purpose .
other than those uses allowed by this section of the Town Charter. _
• The process will focus on projects that affect land use and will not address
related issues such as maintenance or operations.
• All projects that are already underway will proceed.
• Funding sources for affordable housing will be identified and implemented.
• Because failure to have a time line has, in the past, resulted in failure to resolve
the housing prob(em, the Town of Vai( has set June 30 to have these funding
and siting decisions made so a project(s) can be underway in 1998.
• So that the Town of Vail can be held accountable for responsibly addressing the
critical affordable housing shortage, it has set a target of having 62 percent of
our community's employees living within the Town of Vail. To achieve this goal,
based on 1998 residency figures, the Town will need to add 1,680 bed units to
the existing affordable housing supply. The Town of Vail will facilitate the
construction or acquisition of affordable housing units until that target is reached
or the crisis is averted in other ways.
• The Town of Vail fill the role of facilitator in providing housing; the Town of Vail
will consider using the following strategies, as well as others, to fulfill that role:
--land provision/site acquisition, including existing units
--facilitator/incentivize
--site-specific subsidies
--regulator/approval of projects
--condemnation, for public use
--service provider (police, fire, transit, etc.)
• All ideas for public uses are welcome.
• In making these decisions, compromise will be necessary.
• The process is open to all who want to participate; however, the Town Council
must be responsible to Vail interests--specifically residents, employers and
employees.
• The final decision will be made by the Vail Town Council for the community .
good.

COMMON GROUND: A PLAN FOR VAIL'S COMMUNITY NEEDS
Communications Messaaes
• The Vail Town Council has identified the creation of more affordable housing within Vail's
boundaries as a top priority. That's because the lack of seasonal, long-term rental and
owner-occupied housing units is having a negative impact on the Vail guest experience.
Because potential employees would rather locate downvalley where they can find both jobs and affordable housing, Vail business owners are struggling with problems caused
by a shortage of reliable employees, and service to guests is deteriorating. When guest service suffers, businesses suffer, the Town's tax base declines, and the economy of the -
entire community is threatened. The Town Council believes it would be irresponsible for ,
the Town not to begin to come up with solutions to the community's housing needs
immediately.
• But the Town can't make siting or funding decisions about affordable housing without
considering what other public uses are needed and where they might be sited in the
community. To honor the Council's commitment of an open, honest and fair approach in
finding responsible and rapid solutions to the housing predicament, the Town is
launching a three-month public involvement process called "Common Ground: A Plan for
Vail's Community Needs. "
• The Town has decided to undertake this community discussion about how to use Town
of Vail land because in recent years through various Town of Vail planning processes
and the Vail Tomorrow strategic planning project, people have consistently said they
believe it's time to make Vail a world-class community in addition to being a world-class
resort. They've cited the lack of public uses, such as gathering places, parks, affordable
housing and recreation and arts facilities, as a critical obstacle to a quality community life
in Vail.
• The Town of Vail wants to be responsive to what people have said they want this
community to be, and would like people to help the Town of Vail make some tough
decisions and come up with a reasonable, responsible, and sensible plan for the use of
either Town-owned land or the acquisition of privately-held land.
• Because we need to address the housing problem as rapidly as possible, we are
launching the process immediately and would like to have it finished tiy June 30, so we
can get at least one housing project underway in 1998. It's an aggressive timeline for a
public involvement process, and we wish we had more time for community discussion,
but the Town Council believes it has to move fast to begin to address a pressing
community need.
• Because Vail is already at 93 percent build-out, these decisions will be especially
challenging.
• The process is designed to ask full and part-time Vail residents and Vail business owners
' to identify: 1) which community uses in addition to housing are most important; 2) where
the housing, open space, parks and community facilities should be located; and 3) how
to fund affordable housing.
• The Vail Town Council will then use that plan to make budget and policy decisions about
how Town property and other resources will be used.
• The Town of Vail's role in facilitating the construction and/or acquisition of affordable
housing is not up for community discussion. Affordable housing has been identified as a
critical part of our public infrastructure. IYs now time for the Town to work in partnership
with the community to come up with reasonable, sensible solutions to this ongoing
problem.
• Using the target established through the Vail Tomorrow process, the Town Council's goal
is to have 62 percent of Vail's employees living within the Town of Vail by the year 2010,
up from the current figure of 38 percent, or 1,680 additional pillows.
• It's important that decisions agreed to in the next three months are long-lasting. If these decisions were easy, this community would have dealt with them long ago. This will likely - be an agonizing and grueling process, and not something anyone will want to revisit
anytime soon.
• It's important for those who will be affected by the decisions to become involved at the
outset. The people who participate in the process will help guide the final decisions that
are made.
• The process has been designed so that no one is left behind. Feedback mechanisms
include the TOV Community Survey; public workshops in April and June; an lnternet web
site; a telephone response line; and direct mailings. While the process is open to everyone, Town Council's responsibility is to both full and part-time Vail residents and to
Vail business owners.

Dear John,
On behalf of the Town of Vail, I woufd like to personally invite you to attend the Vaif Village
Contractor's Meeting at 2:00 p.m., on Tuesday, March 31, in the Vail Town Council Chambers.
The 1998 construction season in Vail Viila-e looks as thouah it will be one of the busiest ever.
Given all the proposed construction activity, we are concerned about the possible negative effects
the increased activity may have on our Community. Therefore, we beiieve we all need to meet to
collectively to discuss construction in the Village this summer.
The goal of the Vail Village Contractor's Meeting is to communicate openly with all the
contractors that will be working in the Villaae and formulate a] 998 Vail Village Master
Construction Plan. The plan will serve to coordinate the construction activity in the Vil(age to
insure that all the loadinv/delivery, staging, parking, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, noise
regulation and merchant needs are met. To help formulate the plan, we ask that you bring a draft
copy of your proposed staging plan and a preliminary construction schedule with you to the
meeting.
If you liave any questions regarding our meeting, please do not hesitate to call, or stop by the
Community Development Department at 75 South Frontage Road. You can reach me by
telephone at 970-479-2145.
I would like to thank you in advance for your interest and part icipation. We look forward to
working with you on March 31 and a successful 1998 construction season.
Sincere(y, ,

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR MARCH 17
Please note: The evening meetings now start at 7 p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m.
Work Session Briefs
Councilmembers present: Armour*, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
"Arrived late
--Red Sandstone Employee Housing Development
The Council received an update on the Red Sandstone Creek project from the town's developer,
Tom Stevens, representing the Stevens Group. Although the Aspen-based firm is the largest
private-sector developer of affordable housing in the state, the Red Sandstone project
represents the group's first entry into the Vail Valley. Stevens was selected by the town, in
partnership with the Eagle River Water and Sanitation district, to develop the property after
submitting conceptual designs that met the town's target price of $125 per square feet. During
discussion yesterday, Stevens showed conceptual designs featuring a combination of one-,
two-, and three-bedrooms totaling 18 units, each with a one-car garage. Afthough Stevens said
he preferred to use a general contractor from the Roaring Fork Valley, Councilmembers received
assurances from Stevens that every component of the project would receive competitive bids,
including all subcontractor work. Also yesterday, Andy Knudtsen, the town's senior housing
policy planner, said demand for the units currently exceeds the number available. He said the
water district is interested in 14 units (while the current agreement allocates only 12) and nine
Town of Vail employees are anterested in vying for six units that would be available to the TOV.
The schedule calls for reviews by the Design Review Board on April 1 and April 15. Then, a final
review by the Town Council on April 21. Construction would then begin in June with compfetion
occurring in February of next year. For more information, contact Knudtsen at 479-2440.
--Board and Commission Interviews
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council interviewed 11 applicants for four open seats
on the Planning and Environmental Commission, as well as two additional applicants for the Art
In Public Places Board. -
--Discussion of the Development Review Process for the Vail Plaza Hotel (Vail Village Inn)
In anticipation of a redevelopment request for the Vail Village Inn property, the Council asked
that it hold joint worksessions with both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the
Design Review Board during the projecYs initial review so that problems and concerns can be
raised--by Council--at the outset rather than later on in the review process. Also yesterday,
Councilmembers received an initial overview of the project delivered by Jay Peterson, the
attorney representing Vail Plaza Hotel, Inc. As proposed, the property would feature an anchor
hotel with 340 rooms and 12 club units; a 10,000 sq. ft. conference space that could
accommodate up to 1,000 people; a spa; 5,700 sq. ft. of retail; plus 400 new underground
parking spaces. When asked how the project would address employee housing needs,

Peterson said he hoped the town would enter into a joint partnership with the developer to find
land elsewhere within Vail to create employee housing. For more information, contact George
Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145.
--Design Guidelines Amendment
After hearing an explanation involving two approaches that would address a modification to the
town's design guidelines advocated by Councilman Michael Arnett, the Council directed staff to
pursue an option that would require all properties be upgraded to meet the design guidelines -
when proposing exparisions, with a one-time exclusion for an expansion of up to 500 sq. ft. in. -
size for single-family, two-family and primary/secondary uses. Council also asked staff to pursue -
an amendment to the Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) Chapter to allow interior conversions
for multi-family dwelling units. In advocating the change, Arnett has said the current guidelines
requiring upgrades such as paved driveways and undergrounding of utilities associated with
minor renovations have caused some projects to be abandoned altogether due to the financial
hardships it would cause on the property owners. For more information, contact Dominic
Mauriello in the Community Information Department at 479-2148.
--Dobson Ice Arena Locker Room Expansion
The Council voted 7-0 to allow the Vail Recreation District to proceed through the conditional
use permit review process to allow for the expansion of locker rooms at Dobson Ice Arena.
Dobson is owned by the town; it is managed and operated by the Vail Recreation District. The
request will be heard at an upcoming meeting of the Planning and Environmental Commission.
For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at
479-2145.
--Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority 1998 Funding Request
After comparing sales tax figures that show collections closely mirroring original projections
(within $120,000), the Council voted 7-0 to approve a 1998 funding request of $86,000 to the
Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority. The contribution represents year-three of a
five-year voluntary commitment agreed to in 1995. Councilmember Kevin Foley, a member of
the authority, applauded the Council for its regional "team player" commitment. Eagle County, the Town of Avon and the Beaver Creek Resort Company also have been asked to continue the
financial partnership.
--Information Update
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer informed the Council of continuing concerns
expressed by the Liquor Board, Police Department and Transportation Department regarding
problems associated with over-service of alcohol and sales to minors. One possible action is to
require TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol) training at licensed
establishments. Councilman Kevin Foley suggested moving forward with an "Operation Keg .
Shadow" idea proposed by Howard Gardner of the West Vail Liquor Mart. Councilmembers also
agreed that efforts should begin now to address ways to head off problems of rowdy behavior
that have been escalating on New Year's Eve and the Fourth of July.
In other business, Councilmembers authorized an expenditure of up to $6,000 to increase the
town government's presence on the Internet. The address is vail.neUtov and--when launched
within the next two weeks--will include Council meeting agendas, minutes, ordinances, etc. For
more information, contact Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115.
Also, Councilmembers authorized an expenditure of up to $3,750 to split the cost of a study to
improve pedestrian wayfinding (signs, directories, etc.) in the Village. The study also will be

funded by Vail Associates. During discussion, Councilmember Sybill Navas inquired about the
possibility of expanding the study to include recommendations on a sign program that would
direct guests to the various lodges in Vail.
--Council Reports
Sybill Navas thanked the staff for sending letters from the Council to the State Senate
urging approval of enabling legislation that would create a regional marketing district in the upper
Vail Valley. -
--Other - At the request of Eagle County Commissioner James Johnson, Councilmembers yesterday clarified their position on Category III. A letter was reviewed and approved outlining the
Council's position and will be forwarded to Johnson. Essentially, the position hasn't changed
since adoption of the managed growth agreement between the Town of Vail and Vail Associates
in 1995. However, the Council has raised new concerns with respect to the Gilman
development possibility. After reviewing the managed growth agreement, Councilman Kevin
Foley expressed some discomfort, noting that there had been no recent attempts to pursue
carpooling or park and rides as outlined in the document. In response, Mayor Rob Ford noted
the agreement provides flexibility to manage peak periods through a variety of tools, including
park and rides. Ford referred Foley to a passage in the town's letter that expresses the town's
interest in making periodic modifications to the managed growth agreement regarding future
impacts on affordable housing, regional and local public transportation, and parking. A copy of
the letter is attached. In addition, Town Manager Bob McLaurin said the town has continued to
implement a holiday management plan as outlined in the managed growth agreement.
Councilman Michael Jewett suggested that copies of the managed growth agreement be made
available for public distribution. To request a copy, call the Town Manager's Office at 479-2105.
Also yesterday, Councilman Kevin Foley inquired about bus service levels befinreen April 19 and
May 3 and stressed the importance of accommodating our visitors during the summer
construction season (numerous projects are scheduled in Vail Village). Foley also
complimerited the Fire Department for being thanked publicly in a letter to the editor from a
satisfied customer. Councilmember Sybill Navas asked about the possibility of altering the stops
on the intown shuttle as a result of the summer construction. Councilmember Ludwig Kurz said
summer construction was successful in Beaver Creek last year due to buy-in up-front from the
merchants. Kurz said he was hopeful the Vail Village merchants would be just as cooperative.
On behalf of a constituent, Councilman Michael Jewett inquired about the status of signs and
lighting required at the Austria Haus construction site. It was agreed that councilmembers would
take their own look to determine if the conditions and requirements placed by the town have
been met. A neighboring business owner has continued to express his dissatisfaction with the .
outcome. Jewett also raised a constituent question about special assessments and deed
restricted housing at Simba Run. Councilmembers suggested the matter be pursued within the
condominium association or through a private attorney.

Joe Staufer, a longtime resident, said he had originally come to address the Council to inquire
about its position on Category III. But upon receiving a copy of the letter approved at the work

session (see attached), he said the letter accurately reflects the views of the Council's
constituency. Mayor Rob Ford then read the letter into the record. Councilman Michael Jewett
noted that copies of the town's 1995 managed growth agreement with Vail Associates are
available for public distribution upon request.
--Art In Public Places (AIPP) Appointments .
The Council appointed Kathy Langenwalter, Trish Kiesewetter and Alan Kosloff to the AIPP
Board. They will serve three year terms. .
--Design Review Board Appointments
The Council appointed Clark Brittain and Hans Woldrich to the Design Review Board. They will
serve two year terms. '
--Planning and Environmental Commission Appointments
From a field of 11 candidates, Galen Aasland, Brian Doyon, Diane Golden and Tom Weber were
appointed to the PEC. They will serve two year terms.
Following the board appointments, Councilmembers said they were extremely pleased
to see the high level of interest in the positions. They thanked the 20 applicants for taking the
time to volunteer for the openings and encouraged those who weren't appointed to reapply next
time.
--Major Amendment to the Vail Athletic Club Special Development District
The Council voted 7-0 to table second reading of an ordinance approving a major amendment to
the Vail Athletic Club Special Devetopment District. The ordinance will be considered again at
the April 7 evening meeting. Councilmembers requested postponement of the ordinance
because a representative of the project was not present at the meeting to answer specific
questions about the timing of construction. If approved, the measure would allow for
modifications to the parking garage, restaurant, common areas and accommodation and
dwelling units. The legislation is the final step in a long-awaited approval process for renovation
of the facility. Plans call for the elimination of two accommodation units, the conversion of one
-two-bedroom dwelling unit to a"presidential suite" accommodation unit, and the expansion of
one dwelling unit. Overall, the VAC would have a total of 54 hotel rooms, 3 dwelling units and 4
. employee housing units. The town originally approved the VAC's application for a Special
Development District in 1993. For more information, contact Reed Onate in the Community
Development Department at 479-2369.
--Town Manager Report
Mayor Rob Ford recapped the Town Manager's Report which was discussed during the
afternoon work session. He said the Council had authorized approval of funds to increase the .
town's presence on the Internet, as well as funding for a guest-related sign (wayfinding)
evaluation in partnership with Vail Associates.

Dear James:
This letter is in response to your correspondence of March 11,1998, requesting clarification
of the Town of Vail's present position on the Category III expansion. In 1995 the town of
Vail supported Category III conceptually and specifically on those issues which directly
impacted the town. As you are aware, the basis for the Town's support was an agreement
with Vail Associates adopted by Resolution on April 4,1995. This agreement sets forth an
approach and review process for addressing any off site impacts on the Town of Vail by
this expansion.
After a review on Tuesday, March 17,1998, the Town of Vail stands by its commitment to
the 1995 managed growth agreement as it pertains to Category III. We look forward to
working with Vail Resorts and making any periodic modifications to our managed growth
agreement, as outlined in the agreement, regarding the future impact this expansion will
have on affordable housing, regional and local public transportation and parking.
It should also be noted that during the Town's discussion with Vail Associates in 1994 and
1995, there' was no mention of potential expansion into the Gilman area. The Town of Vail
is strongly opposed to any additional real estate development which may be associated
with this proposed expansion.
James, I appreciate your contacting us for an update on our position on Category III,
and I hope this clarifies the Town's position in this matter. If you have questions or need -
additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Rob,
Like many residents, I was most surprised to find out that the Town of Vail had quietly agreed not to
oppose the Cat 3 expansion in exchange for a contribution of $500,000 and some open space land. I
seriously doubt the current council would do such a thing without public input, and am disappointed that
our previous council did this.
I would like to inquire as to three things. First, could I get a copy of that document to review it? I know
nothing can be changed but I am interested in how this thing was put together.
Secondly, I would like to ask if there are any other agreements of similar nature existing out there between
the Town of Vail andVail Associates or any other entity or individual where the Town has given
concessions, political or otherwise, to private individuals or corporations without the benefit of public
discussion. If there are other agreements I would like to ask for a list of them and a synopsis of what these
agreements cover. I am not concerned about minor matters such as might be normally ok'd at stafflevel
such as setbacks or retaining walls, but rather situations similar to the Cat 3 agreement.
Third, does the Town have a policy or ordinance at this time regarding how to deal with such issues if they
were to be proposed to the Town by V. A. or anyone for that matter. If they do I would like a copy of that.
If not, perhaps it would be useful to consider such a move.
By the way, I think you're certainly doing an admirable job dealing with employee housing. As a mortgage
lender and a 20 year resident of this valley I always try to find someway for a local to buy a place if they
want one and are at least minimally qualified. Projects like Vail Commons and the planned Red Sandstone
project do a lot to keep Vail livable. Keep it up!
If you'd like to cali and discuss the above issues my office number is 748-0342. My fax is 748-0125.
Best Regards,
Chris Neuswanger

Re:Rezoning
As a part owner in a Vantage Point Condominium I strongly oppose
any increase in building heights. Not only are views destroyed but
congestion, pollution, and overcrowding occurs. It is at it's maximum
now. We are unable to have our windows open at night for sleeping
because the pollution is so bad. The pollution is bad during the day
but is not as concentrated as a person is moving around from place to
place. Please do not allow this to happen by adding more
construction, people and automobiles.

Eagie County Board of County Commissioners .
. P.O. Box 850 Eagle, CO 81631 Dear James, Johnette and Bud:
At your meeting on March 16, you expressed concerns about growth
management in the County and directed your staff to prepare a resoiution
prnviding for a moratorium on development approvals. The Towns in Eagle
County have also been meeting and discussing growth management and
coordination issues. We support your expressions of concem and endorse a
suspension of development approvals. A temporary moratorium on approvals
aflows the County the time and energy to consider and make changes in the
ways it guides growtFt. We request that you use this time to implement important
parts of the County Master Plan, re-examine the County Land Use Plan and
work with the Towns to develop agreements about land use change in the
vicinity of the Towns.
7he Towns wish to work together with Eag1e County to formulate and pursue a
suggested Acfion Plan that wili require the Towns and the County to take
: specific steps and adopt specific procedures. These wil{ establish cooperative
and mutually reinforcing systems, the components of regional p(anning, that wiil
enable us to jointly mitigate the undesirable consequences of growth and
change.
The Action Plan that we propose is sequentiat and hierarchical, so that each
step or procedure (ays a foundation for those that follow. Most of these steps
are an fmplementing Action of a Guiding Policy from the Eagle County Master
Plan, adopted by the present Board in 1996. Some of our recammendations
may also be addressed through expanded provisions of the Eagle County Land .
Use P1an. Our suggested Action Plan is presented as an attachment to this
letter.
The Towns request that no upzonings of major prajects occur during the time we
pursue the action plan proposed in this fetter, or for a period of one year, whichever is shorter. We alsv request that you provide for a time extension of
the temporary moratorium.
~ MAR-19-98 THU 11:25 AM FAX N0. P. 04/06
.
Thank you for your consideration of these timely and important matters. We
appreciate your wil[ingness to work together to achieve our common goals. We
are interested in your fomtai response to our suggestions. A representative of
out group will soon contact you to arrange for our next meeting, at which we
hope to establish specific agreements about the manner in whiG1 we address the
elements of the Action Plan, including prioritizafion and a timeline.

Action Pian for Cvordinated Planning'
Proposed to Eagle County by the Towns in Eagle County
March 18, 1998
1. Formalize and enhance existing referral pcocess. Initiate joint Town/County _ staff review of development planned to occur within three miles of the Tawn boundaries ( Community Services Policy 4, Action 1 a).
2. Direct growth and development to existing communities (Environmental
Quality Policy 5, Action 5; Open Space and Recreation Policy 3, Action 3).
3. Identify and coardinate development standards in the geographic areas
near the Towns that may pvssibly be included within the Towns in the future
(Open Space and Recreation Policy 2, Action 5; Development Poficy 1,
Actions 6& 8; Development Policy 5, Actions 1, 2, 4, 5, 6& 7; Affordable
Housing Policy 1, Action 4; Transportation Policy 3, Action 2; Community
Services Policy 1, Action 2; Community Services Policy 4, Action 1b).
4. Quantify and model the fiscal impacts from development approvals of the
County and the Towns. Agree on how such impacts are to be allocated
between the County and the Towns where such impacts are shared. Fisca(
impact analysis is not presently a part of the Caunty development review
process.
' S. Agree to actively support principle of concurrency so that levels of service
are not degraded. County and Towns both develop consistent resatutions
and ordinances regarding the provision for adequate public facilities and
services as development occurs_ Acceptable levels of service cart be
specifred in paragraph 3 above. (Development Policy 5, Action 3).
6. Agree to support long term goal of sustainability through the consideration
of regianal carrying capacity (Developmeni Policy 1, last sentence;
Development Policy 1, Action 9). Establish a CauntylYown °blue ribbon
commission" to address issues of carrying.capacity and sustainabiiity to '
report back observations and recommendations.
7. The Towns and the County work together to develop meaningful policies,
reguiations and ordinances in support af affordable housing, recognizing the .
individual needs and characteristics of the parties (Affordable Housing
Policy 2, Action 1).
MAR-19-98 THU 11:26 AM FAX N0. P. 06/06
8, Special District issues. Consider measures to prevent ciccumvention of
regional planning through statutori(y empowered local govemments by
actions of Special Districts, which have no planning authority (Community
Services Policy 4, Actions 2& 3).
9. Agree to pursue IGAs so that specific situatians between the County and a
Municipality may be addressed within the framework established in steps • 1- 7 above (Community Services Policy 4; Action 1 c). 1GAs should include,
but not be Iimited to, (1) a plan for the type, amount and general location of .
- growth to occur in and around community centers, (2) identfication of .
pending and future development areas to be potentially annexed, (3) for '
such properties near the Towns, specification of jurisdiction to conduct the
development review.

CONTRACT The Board reiterated their interest in eoatiuuing the cotrtract with 1V1r. Jones and his sleigh ride operation as stated in their lettei to him. He stated
their concerns regarding the competition with the operation at Bella Riva is
a moot point since he is no Ionger involved there and will not be pursuing
any sort of contract with thern in the future. It was the consensus of the
Board and Mr. Jones to write a new 5 year contract with a clause to ex-
clude him from boarding harses at the Vail Golf Coutse to be used in any

The regular meeting of the Local Licensing Authority for the Town of Vail was held in
. the Council Chambers of the Vai! Municipal Building, 75 South Frontage Road, Vail,
Colorado, on Wednesday, March 11, 1998 at 10:00 A.M. The agenda included the •
following:

City Market Inc. DBA City Market 42 APPROVED 3-0
Woo's Co., Inc, Chois Accting Serv DBA May Palace Restaurant APPROVED 3-0
Steven Satterstrom Inc. DBA Seasons at the Green APPROVED 3-0
Sweet Basil Inc. DBA Sweet Basil Inc. APPROVED 3-0
Colorado Ski Service Inc. DBA Vista Bahn Ski Rentals APPROVED 3-0
2. Discussion with Town of Vail Police Chief, Greg Morrison, regarding enforcement
of overservice problems in Vail.
Additional Town of Vail staff in attendance for this discussion were Tom Moorhead,
Town Attorney; Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager; and Larry Grafel, Public
Works Director.
Greg Morrison explained that the incidents of overservice of alcohol in the Town
of Vail is being noticed in certain establishments. He also stated that overservice
in these, establishments is creating assault incidents to Town of Vail bus drivers.
Greg stated that he has been gathering regulation and ordinance information
from other municipalities regarding the requirement of establishments to have
100% participation of employees of liquor license holders to go through a"TIPS"-
type (Training for Intervention Procedures by Servers of Alcohol) training to
maintain and renew their liquor licenses.
Greg has requested input and direction from the Local Licensing Authority (LLA)
on how to proceed.
Kathy Vieth stated she would like to require the owners of the establishments
where the overservice problems are taking place to come before the LLA to have
a discussion with them, give them a verbal warning with a notice that a
suspension may follow if the issue is not cleared up.
e
Connie Knight asked if the problems on the buses were occurring during the
midnight to 2 a.m. shift.
Greg stated it was a high-incident time, however, this was not the only time the
incidences occurred.
Larry Gcafel stated that the incidents occur in the early evening also. It is getting .
difficult to staff the late shifts. The police department has added police staff on
the buses but cannot man all the bus routes. Pam Brandmeyer stated the Town of Vail needs to take a more pro-active stance. Most of the incidents involve locals (approximately 80%) and not tourists.
Mary Zarba stated she would like a letter sent out from the LLA to all the liquor
license holders informing them of the overservice issues.
Tom Moorhead agreed this would be a good communication start.
Bill Bishop suggested that the LLA also include the issue of underage drinking to
the letter.
Greg reiterated the five step campaign process the Town of Vail and the LLA will
proceed with to address these issues:
1. A general letter to all liquor license establishments and owners;
2. A special hearing to be held with the owners of the establishments
where the overservice problems are occurring and place the owners
on notice;
3. A letter from the Vail Police Department notifying the liquor license
holders of an education campaign.
4. Education campaign via TIPS training, and training classes with the
State o# Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division.
5. Strict enforcement.
Pam Brandmeyer stated that passing an ordinance requiring TIPS training should
be used as a last resort.
Greg Morrison will work with Lorelei and draft a letter to be sent to all {iquor
license holders.
3. Any other matters the Authority wishes to discuss.
Lorelei informed the board of the following upcoming hearing dates for:
1) Judge Dramis, Vendetta's manager, hearing outcome on sale to minors:
Pretrial conference moved to March 12, 1998.
2) Club Chelsea - Overservice, sale to visibly intoxicated persons(4 staff persons
, were cited)- pretrial hearing set for April 16, 1998. - ,
3) Mary Zarba stated that Cindy Cohagen at Vail Valley Medical Center approached her and requested that a more extensive Detox Center be set
up in Vail. .
Pam Brandmeyer is working with Colorado West Mental Health, Vail Valley
Medical Center and other municipalities in Eagle County to set up a
program in Vail.
4. Next regular meeting of Vail Local Licensing Authority will be Wednesday,
April 8, 1998.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This letter is in protest to the recently received p:elaminary p1ans of Lionshead that uail Associates will be
presenting to the town for approval. The document refened to is the "LIONSHEAD CORE
REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SUMMARY" dated 9/23/97 depicting 44 CONDOS, 6 PENTHOUSE
CONDOS, and a 127 ROOM HOTEL. The plans indicate the buildings will be more than 6 stories in
height with existing corridors of traffic narrowing down to alleys to the gondola and chair #8 at the base.
Before proceeding, I would like to introduce myself and explain my concerns as they relate to me
personally. I am known as "Holly" , am a school nurse and health educator, and have been visiting the
Vail Valley for more than 20 years on a regular basis staying at the Lifthouse Condos which are managed
by Packy Walker. During the first 15 years, I was able to save enough money for a down paytnent on a
condo and waited for one of the top floor mountain facing units to come up for sale. On August 19,1991,
my dream came true. Although other units in the building not facing the mountain were listed on the
market for about one half the price, I purchased unit #412, a mountain view unit &om which I can lay on
the living room couch and watch the skiers descend the slopes. I had always anticipated that in my
retirement, just a few years away, I would be able to spend much more time in my Lifthouse condo
enjoying the spectacular view of the mountain. I am sure my story as a Lionshead condo owner is not
unique. The above captioned plan will obstruct the view of many other condo owners in the area, not only
shattering our dreams of relaxing and taking in the beautifiil natural environment of the mountains
through our windows, but also reducing the monetary value of the units in direct proportion to the loss of
the view. I realize there are Town of Vail View corridors set forth in Chapter 18,73 of the Municipal
Code, and private views not identified in the code are not protected by TOV regulations. At this time of
drastic change, I implore you to revisit these View Corridors creating new, wider View Corridors in
Lionshead and, as an ec+uitable solution to amend th;, Municipal Code 23 not aliow anv Yiew building to
be hiQher than the existine structure without a variance granted after obtaining approval of all~rty
owners wluch would be effected bv obstruction of view of the mountain or the Gore range
A"Five Star" hotel increasing the "Live Bed" capaciry would certainly enhance the area, but I fail to see
why Lionshead needs 44 more condos and 6 penthouse condos as the proposal indicates. A few years ago
when VA officials met with hotel consultants to consider the feasibility of bringing either a grand hotel,
condominium units with retail, a mixed use boutique hotel or a boutique hotel with condominiums and
retail into the heart of Lionshead , the study showed the core site was not well suited physically to hotel
development because of lack of size, poor access, etceteras. In the Suc Policy Objectives identified try the
Town Council as a foundation for the planning process, improved access and circulation was identified
as one of the major needs. Since the gondola was moved to the habe of the mountain, next to the bridge,
the skier traffic at the base has become much more congested requiring more open space in that area, not
less. The Lionshead Master Plan Stage II - Program Deveiopment Phase elicited public responses in the
format of a"Wish LisY', obviously appropriately named, as numerous responses addressed the need for
more open public space not less.
Regarding the Redevelopment Project, Mr. David Corbir., Vice President of VA Real Estate Group is
reported as saying the obvious benefits to Vail Associates would be the increased number of skiers, use of
the ski school and its retail sales. The benefits to the Town of Vail would be increased collection of ski
lift taxes, lodging taxes, property taxes and sales tax. Regarding the Lionshead Core Redevelopment
Program Summary dated 9/23/97, I would like to say, the increase in revenues to the VA and the TOV
will be great, but if this plan goes into effect without amelioration, the loss of aesthetics to the community
of Lionshead will be devastating.
Truly Yours,
Henrietta (Holly) Simmenroth

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The attached letter was submitted to the Vail Town Council on November 11,1997. Since then I have
attended a meeting on Sunday, Feb 15,1998 at the Vail Public Library Communiry Room to review the
"Height and Mass Concepts and Alternatives" as proposed by the Study Committee hired by the Town of
Vail. The narrowing of walkways through Lionshead in the name of "increased commerce" is absolutely
frightening! A Survey, citing 40% of the visitors to Vail do not ski but enjoy shopping a main activity,
was given as a rational to narrow the walkways to approximately 30 feet. Lionshead has always been the
main Vail "Skier Drop-off' due to easy access to the gondola and high speed quad chair. After 15
years of watching the transportation in the parking garage unload in the mornings and return in the
evenings, I can assure you, almost all of the people entering Lionshead go directly to the lift ticket booth,
purchase lift tickets, and head up the mountain. Narrowing the walkways will not encourage them to
purchase tee shirts and other tourist paraphemalia. Kennys Ski Shop is one of the few prosperous
enterprises in Lionshead because it serves the needs of tlus transient population. Bart &Yettes does
equally as well. But, for the most part, when these people return from skiing, they head on home because
we do not offer them a comfortable ski lodge, and enough suitable amenities to make them want to stay in
Lionshead to visit and shop. The "Lionshead Core Redevelopment Program" outlined in the letter above
creates more congestion and dces nothing to serve those daily visitors.
Common sense leads me to the next conclusion. ff the transient population creates too much congestion
and does not increase the revenue basis for the town of Vail, the alternative of removing the parking
facility and buildine a five, sta* hote-1_ an ?hat ioca±icn would c.eate mare "live beds", and reduce the traffic
congestion problem simultaneously. The current Study Committee claims no major hotel concern would
consider that a suitable location. I urge you to revisit this concept and solicit the major hotel chains
directly to obtain written proposals or letters of denial. To service day visitors, a parking garage could
be built a the west end of Lionshead with adequate walkways to the gondola, and the existing Sunbird
lodge and old gondola building azea couid be rebuilt as a lodge to contain all skiers comfortably and
provide the much needed open space area at the base of We mountain. These aze very broad concepts,
and I humbly submit them for your consideration.
Thank You for the in depth reviews you are making of this project, and for reading my letter.
Trul; '.-ours,
Hefuietta "Holly" Simmenroth

„ VAIL BUSINESS
TOWN OF YAIL REVIEW
March 20, 1998
The December Vail Business Review examines December sales tax collections for all filers and' year to date collections for 1997. .
Overall December sales tax increased 9.1 % with Retail increasing 8.7%, Lodging increased
12.7%, Food and Beverage increased 6.5% and Other (which includes items such as urilities, taxable
services i.e. plumbing and electrical and rentals or leases) increased 1.5%. Year to date collections for
1997 resulted in a 2.0% increase overall with Retail decreasing .2%, Lodging increased 9.3%, Food and
Beverage decreased .2% and Other decreased 7.2%.
December 1996 brought the Chevy Blazer Intemational Ski Festival and the Jeep King of the
Mountain Downhill to Vail.
Please remember when reading the Vail Business Review that it is produced from sales tax
collections, as opposed to actual gross sales.
Our records indicate that nine new business licenses were issued in December (four retail, two
service, two food & beverage and one home occupation) and twenty seven business licenses were
closed (fifteen service, five retail and seven home occupations).
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call me at (970) 479-2125 or Steve
Thompson at (970) 479-2116.
Sincerely, 4-~~

- Mayor Rob Ford,
TOWN OF VAIL
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Rob,
I write to suggest Council's consideration of an amendment to the Town parking
ordinance to prohibit the discourteous practice of taking more that one space per vehicle
in the Town parking structures. For example, last Saturday, while sea.rching for an
available place to park in the Village structure, I counted no less that 19 instances where
vehicles were parking so as to take up two spaces. I see this a11 the time. Aside from the
inconvenience to pass-holders and others, the Town must certainly be losing revenues as
a consequence of this practice.
Perhaps just signs would solve the problem but more likely a fine of not less than
the fee for 24 hours of parking would be necessary.
Very Truly Yours, - ~

Dear Vail Town Council Members:
Members of the Vail Tomonow Natural & Built Environment Sub-team and our supporters
look forward to participating in the process that begins with the community survey and is outlined in
the March 5, 1998 memorandum identified as "Common Ground...A Plan for Vail's Community
Needs." As we all enter into this discussion, our group hopes to add to the balance by speaking on
behalf of environmenta.l and open space issues. The Vail Tomorrow Housing Team has focused on
their subject and presented their recommendations powerfully. We salute their efforts. At the same
time, it must not be forgotten that early in the Vail Tomorrow process, the community identified
open space as its number one priority. And the largest single concern among second homeowners in
meetings with Vail Tomorrow representatives across the US was the natural and built environment,
with the emphasis on natural. So, despite the town's commendable progress in addressing open
space concerns, it continues to be a serious priority for Vail residents and visitors.
We believe the success of the process outlined in the Common Ground memorandum
depends not only on public input, but also on the appropriate timing of that input. We therefore want
to respond at this early stage to the Problem Statement and Givens in the memorandum.
The last sentence of the third item in the Problem Statement says: "The Vail Town Council
has identified affordable housing as a critical part of our public infrastructure, and believes it would
be irresponsible as a public body not to address our community's housing needs." Our committee
feels the addressing of housing needs by the town government should be limited to facilitating
private sector solutions. We do not consider "facilitating" to include contribution of public lands or
funds to provide employee housing, except for town employees. Our opinion is based on more than
just our immediate goals to protect RETT funds for open space and to preserve undeveloped lands.
We believe that the burden on the government in assuming responsibility for providing housing for
the business community is tremendous and unnecessary. Are you really ready to shoulder the
responsibility, the ongoing expense and the blame for less-than-ideal outcomes?
T'here are many fine examples of private solutions to housing problems in our town.
Additional creative private solutions must be found. Public sector solutions penalize those who
already have spent their own money to address the problems. Private sector solutions more
effectively integrate the employee into the community than public projects.
Our concerns about the starting point for the Common Ground process come up again in the
"Given" (in #9) that the Town of Vail will consider land provision. For the reasons stated above, we
feel it is inappropriate, unfair and unnecessary for the town to give away public lands without
reimbursement from the private sector. Even if the private sector shoulders the financial
i
responsibility for acquiring the land and constructing the housing it requires, we hope the town will
always exercise tremendous sensitivity to the community's strong wishes to keep as much land open
as possible.
Finally, as stated in "Given" 98, we agree it is very important that the Town of Vail be held
accounta.ble for responsibly addressing the affordable housing shortage. We are not confident that
Vail's complicated community and employee problems can be accurately defined and solved
through simple statistics (such as percentage of employees living in Vail). If you do base major plans
on statistics, are all the relevant numbers and issues known? For example: How are you quantifying
housing---is it by pillows? beds? bedrooms? units? How many employees in Eagle County live in
the TOV now? We've heard "only 38% of employees now live in the TOV." Is that a totally
inclusive figure or is it the result of a survey voluntarily retumed? Or the last census (which most
feel was inaccurate since it was done in AprillMay)? How reliable/accurate are the numbers upon
which the council is basing major public decisions? Are too many assumptions being made? Will
there still be major employee problems even after "housing goals" are met? We think: definitely,
Yes!
And, finally, has the council received a clear mandate from its constituency earpressing a
willingness to use public funds andlor public land to subsidize employers in Vail? We believe no
mandate can be documented today. In light of all the other events that are occupying the attention of
Vail residents between now and June, namely, Category III, Lionshead Redevelopment, VVC,
County Land Use Regulations, not to mention Maui and Moab, we feel it may be risky to assume
that the Common Ground process will give you any sort of valid mandate on which to base major
eapenditures and changes of priorities.
It is our sincere intention to bring up the kinds of concerns we feel others in the community
have, and to raise these concerns earlier, rather than later. In order to help the process we will bring
to the table as many ideas and solutions as possible.
Sincerely,
Vail Tomorrow Natural and Built Environment Sub-Tearn

RE: HB 1335, Inter-Mountain T'ransportation A,uthority
llear John:
As you know, HB 1335 has passed out of the Senate Transportation Committee and will move to
the Senate Floor next week. We understand that your organization is continuing to lobby in
opposition of this bill. The Colorado Association of S1d Towns respectfully requests that you
reconsider your position and discontinue your opposition to this legislation.
During testimony in Senate 7ransportation Committee, your representative stated that this
legislative action was "premature", but did not suggest amendmerns or improvements to the bill
that would satis£y your concerns. Given our long wocking relationship and common goals to
improve access along the cozridor, it is regrettable that your opposi4on moves £orward without
discussion with the affected communities and CA,ST members.
While we realize your organization is focused on short tecm improvements to the I-70 corridor,
this bitl does not preclude those improvements. We are supponintg HB 1335 because we feel we
will see even more improvements to the comdor, both shoct and Iong texm, by working
collabocatively with the many stakeholdex groups who may fight and delay I-70 improvements i£
they are not ,part of a strategic, long range, integrated plan.
Tn ctosing, we ]ook forward to working together with you on this and and regret that we did not
make a greater effort earlier in this process. Certainly we can accomplish more coIlectively than
separately, and appreciate your consideration of our request.
Please contact me i£you would like to discuss this matter with me or wxth our joint boacds. -

Community Information Office , VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR MARCH 24
Please note: The start time of the evening meeting has been changed to 7 p.m.
(30 minutes earlier than the previous start time).
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour*, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
*Arrived late --PEClDRB Report
During a review of Monday's meeting of the Planning and Environmental Commission,
Councilman Michael Jewett inquired about the status of a request by City Market to increase the
size of their sign. Jewett was assured by Mike Mollica of the Community Development
Department that City MarkeYs request was in no way a special consideration, but rather anyone
could have made the same request application. Staff also indicated that the proposed sign
change would conform to the Town code.
--Summer Marketing Presentation
Ross Boyle, chairman of the Vail Valley Marketing Board, along with other WMB
representatives, presented an overview of the summer marketing effort. The group said the
$925,000 annual budget, although small, is producing a strong message in key domestic
markets. AltFiough summer tourism has been disappointing in many parts of the state since the
Colorado Tourism marketing program was terminated in the early 1990s, sales tax revenues in
the Vail Valley have continued to grow at an average annual rate of more than six percent since
1991, according to Boyle. Spending by summer visitors has been especially important to
merchants and restaurants in the Town of Vail where the number of permanent residents has
grown by only 200 persons in the 1990s, he said. Since local resident spending in the town is
flat, almost all of the six percent annual increase in sales and sales tax revenues is attributable
to increased visitor spending, he said. Market research finds that the Town of Vail captured 57
percent of 1997 overnight stays by visitors drawn to the valley by WMB marketing efforts. This
is about the share of the totaf WMB budget provided by the Town of Vail through business
license fees and general fund investments, he said. This investment has paid strong dividends,
according to Boyle. Since 1993, visitors who come to the valley in direct response to WMB
marketing initiatives spend about $25 here for every marketing dollar spent. When asked
whether Vail should spend its marketing dollars to promote the town alone, Boyle said that
fragmenting the regional marketing program would have the same negative impact as the
elimination of the Colorado marketing program several years ago. At best, he said the town
would capture a larger share of a smaller pie and smaNer overall sales revenues. Vail and other
communities in the valley compete with cruise ships, theme parks, and other destination resorts

TOV Council Highlights/3-24-98/Add1
throughout the world for tourist dollars. The combined resources of all investors in the WMB
program are barely enough to get our message out, he said. Several smaller programs would
not only have less impact; they would also confuse the customer who views the valley as a
single destination. Boyle said that if enabling legislation that has recently been approved by the
Colorado House and Senate becomes law, voters will be asked to approve the creation of a new
marketing district, similar to the transportation district, and fund it with a lodging tax. This, he
said, would create a permanent and equitable funding source for summer marketing. He added
that if this new district cannot be put in place before the end of the year, it will still be in the best
. interests of the town and of its merchants to continue supporting the WMB through business
license fees and general fund investments. For more information, contact Boyle.at 479-9164.
--Vail Valley Centre Presentation
Councilmembers heard an overview of the Vail Valley Centre development proposed for the
Stolport property between Avon and Eagle-Vail. The proposal includes 2,400 housing units and
close to 1 million square feet of retail space during a 15 to 20 year build-out period. The
developmenYs presentation team said the Eagle County master plan and the Town of Avon's
master plan were used as a roadmap in determining development characteristics of the property.
They said the project would have the following positive impacts on the Town of Vail: 1) provides
for multiple levels of housing for those who work in the Town of Vail; 2) creates housing as close
to the Town of Vail as possible, thus cutting down on transportation demands; 3) absorbs the
demand for additional commercial space close to the valley's urban center, also cutting down on
transportation demands; and 4) provides amenities (ice skate rink, cultural center, parks, etc.)
that contribute to Vail's goal of a world class resort. The Vail Town Council has previously sent
a letter to the Eagle County outlining its concerns about the proposal. Yesterday,
Councilmembers reiterated those concerns which included traffic impacts, the volume of
commercial space, quality of life impacts and the potential to negatively impact Vail's sense of
community. Also, the development team was encouraged yesterday to put its inventory of
affordable housing units (about 700 units) into a deed-restriction classification to ensure long-
term affordability. The proposal will be heard by the Eagle County Planning Commission on
April 1. In the meantime, the Vail Town Council will prepare another letter to the county outlining
its concerns. That letter will be read into the public record at the April 7 evening Town Council meeting.
--Discussion of Eagle County Recreation Authority/School District Intergovernmental Agreement
for Berry Creek Fifth
A decision on the Berry Creek Fifth property was postponed yesterday so that all seven
Councilmembers can be present to discuss the matter (Arnett and Foley were absent Tuesday).
At issue is whether to approve a conceptual plan for the property that would including pooling
the 105-acre Berry Creek Fifth property with the adjacent 108-acre Miller Ranch property (owned
by the school district), to be followed by an intergovernmental agreement that would allow for the
redistribution of the parcels' ownership for development. The conceptual plan currently calls for
an equestrian center a 25-acre high school; a 40-acre recreation parcel; 28 acres of housing; an
elementary school; the current middle school; 40 acres of open space on the easternmost edge
of the Miller Ranch property; plus finro alternative use sites as determined by the school district
for such uses as a charter school, administration building, bus barn, or other educational uses.
Although the other funding partners have approved the concept, Vail has veto power over the
plan because of its 60 percent ownership status. Councilmembers yesterday said they were
struggling with the options since several Councilmembers have advocated selling the property to
another party. The question is whether approval of the conceptual plan would make it easier or
(more) .

more difficutt to sell the town's asset. The Council will revisit the topic prior to an April
10 meeting of the Eagle County Recreation Authority. Other partners formed by the authority in
1989 include the Town of Avon, Eagle County and four metropolitan districts (Arrowhead,
Beaver Creek, Eagle-Vail and Singletree). For more information, contact Tom Moorhead, Vail
town attorney (who also serves as the recreation authority attorney), at 479-2107.
--Information Update
Councilmembers were briefed on the next community mixer which will be held from 5:15 to 7:15
- p.m. April 14 at the Kaltenberg Castle Brewery in Lionshead. Councilmembers also received a ,
reminder about the Common Ground public involvement process which will include public workshops on April 14 and 16, as well as June 3 and 4.
After hearing a presentation from Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, the Council
voted 5-0 to allocate $25,000 from 1997 capital project savings to help fund the undergrounding
of overhead power lines from Buffehr Creek to Red Sandstone. Other funding partners include
Holy Cross Electric, Briar Patch development and adjacent property owners. The town's share
had been funded in the 1995 capital projects budget but was removed pending build-out of the
development.
Councilmembers were encouraged to attend a contractors meeting for those who'll be doing
construction work in the Vail Village core this season. The meeting, at 2 p.m. March 39, will be
used to coordinate staging plans, communications and other requirements.
There also was an announcement that a five-member delegation from the Sister Cities Delatite
Shire region (Mt. Buller, Australia) will be arriving March 27. The group will be touring Eagle
County over the next week. A reception is scheduled for Sunday evening at the Colorado Ski
Museum, to be followed by a dinner hosted by the Vail Town Council. Also included that day will
be a tour of Vail and its public facilities.
--Council Reports
Bob Armour reported on the Cotorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) meeting with the state
legislators last week. Both Armour and Councilmember Sybill Navas were recognized for their
outstanding efforts in helping to.win legislative approval of the regional marketing district
legislation (HB 1200).
Town Manager Bob McLaurin was asked to write a letter regarding the reauthorization of ISTEA
(federal transportation) funding for the mayor's signature.
Mayor Rob Ford announced that a leadership breakfast that would focus on the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan has been organized for March 31 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the
Marriott. Representatives from the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau, Lodging
Advisory Committee, Vail Valley Marketing Board, Chamber of Commerce, Vail Board of
Realtors, Community Task Force, Rotary Club and other organizations have been encouraged
to attend. Ford also inquired about the status of the U.S. Forest Service proposed Booth Creek
burn. Staff will follow-up. In addition, Ford reported on a joint session with the Eagle County
Commissioners, mayors and managers that occurred March 23 regarding a discussion of a
construction moratorium. He noted there are currently over 1,400 MLS listings countywide (the
local realtor's guide to available for-sale properties), as well as numerous approved but unbuilt
units on the county's drawing board. This precludes current projects still moving through the
process.

--Other
Sybill Navas indicated the Vail Valley Exchange (our local Sister Cities International group) is
looking for office space. She said the need creates an opportunity to increase the community's
awareness of the exchange program. Navas also inquired about the possibility of finding space
for Councilmembers' office needs. Additionally, Navas asked whether yesterday's work session
agenda items should have been reserved for presentation at an evening meeting. She said
Berry Creek Fifth and the Vail Valley Centre are two projects that impact residents not only in Vail, but valleywide. In the case of the Vail Valley Centre, because the project does not require
approval from the Vail Town Council, it was agreed by Council to schedule five minutes at its next evening meeting to provide an overview of the Council's position on the prflposed
development. Additionally, the Council rescheduled its discussion of the Berry Creek Fifth ,
conceptual plan to the April 7 work session.
Councilmembers also issued a reminder to the community about the change in the start-up time
for the evening meeting (7 p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m.).
Also yesterday, Councilmembers asked that developers be reminded that future development or
redevelopment in Vail must carry its own weight. The reference was made in response to a
presentation last week by the Vail Plaza Hotel in which representatives asked the town for help
in acquiring land for employee housing. Councilmembers said there should be no general
assumption that the town's open space will automatically be turned over for employee housing
needs. Also, staff was asked to clarify as quickly as possible the number of employee housing
units required by the Vail Plaza Hotel concept, as well as redevelopment in Lionshead.
A"thank you" was issued to the Public Works Department for installation of painted crosswalks
and pedestrian crossing signs leading from the Municipal Building across South Frontage Road.
Although it may not protect pedestrians from speeding cars, Councilman Michael Jewett noted
that it should help with increased visibility.
Ludwig Kurz asked if Vail's mayor and town manager would be on hand to visit with the mayor of
an Austrian community who will be visiting Vail on Friday.
Michael Jewett inquired when the "open house/garage sale" signs ordinance would have its first
reading. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said it had been set for first reading April 21. Jewett
also inquired about guard rails being installed on the South Frontage Road adjacent to the
"ruins." He was informed by Town Manager Bob McLaurin that the retiring CDOT district
engineer, Bob Mosten, had turned this project over to his replacement. McLaurin will follow up.
Also, Jewett asked if other Councilmembers had viewed the signs and lights at the Austria Haus
construction site. He was told by other Councilmembers that the site is acceptable. (This is in
response to a local retailer who has been dissatisfied with signs and lighting on that site).
The final item mentioned by Jewett was his interest in attending a seminar sponsored by the
Secretary of State's Office on the Campaign Reform Act. Jewett's colleagues encouraged him
to attend.
It was also noted by Councilmembers Navas and Ford that in light of this week's passage of HB-
1200, it would be appropriate to ask the Vail Valley Marketing Board to make a presentation at
an upcoming evening meeting similar to what was presented yesterday afternoon.

(Vail)--The Vail Town Council is following through on its commitment to take aggressive
action on the employee housing crisis by launching a citizen-based planning effort that will
focus on affordable housing, its funding and other unmet community needs--all within the next
three months.
The process will result in a plan that will identify: 1) which community uses in addition to
housing are most important; 2) where those community uses, including facilities, parks and
open space, should be located within the Town of Vail; and 3) how to fund affordable housing.
Vail Mayor Rob Ford says the Town Council has committed to solving the housing problem
because of the serious impact it's having on the Vail guest experience. Because potential
employees would rather locate downvalley where they can find both jobs and affordable
housing, Vail business owners have been struggling with the many problems caused by a
shortage of employees, Ford said. "If this situation is alfowed to continue, it will negatively
affect not only our local businesses, but ultimately Vail's basic economic health, as the guest
experience deteriorates. As a public body, we'd be irresponsible just to sit back and let that
happen."
Ford said that while the process is compressed, there will be numerous opportunities for

participation. "We believe this process strikes a reasonable balance in providing for a fair, open
and honest dialogue without spending additional time to reinvent the wheel." The Mayor said
that while the process is open to everyone, Town Council's responsibility is to full and part-time
Vail residents and Vail business owners. _
Ford said the process will build upon the work of Vail Tomorrow, an ongoing community-
based strategic planning process. Among the 40 actions forwarded by Vail Tomorrow last fall to
the Town of Vail was a recommendation that the Town set aside funding for affordable housing
and build it on Town-owned land. Additionally, Vail Tomorrow has urged the Town to pursue
the concept of a community center, develop more neighborhood parks and complete
implementation of the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan.
"While housing is clearly the focus of this Town Council, we recognize that we can't make
decisions in a vacuum, especially when it comes to the use of either Town-owned land or the
acquisition of privately-held land," Ford said. "This process will result in a comprehensive plan
that not only prioritizes housing, public facilities, parks and open space, but determines where
they should be placed." Since Vail is already 93 percent built-out, Ford said he expects those
decisions to be especially challenging. "We've got a tough road ahead. It's obvious that we
can't fulfill everyone's needs with the scarce lands that remain."
The process, caNed "Common Ground: A Plan for Vail's Community Needs", gets underway
this week with release of the 7own of Vail annual community survey. The survey is being
mailed to Vail property owners, residents and businesses. It asks respondents to help prioritize
community needs, evaluate guidelines for determining where to site affordable housing within
the Town and offer suggestions for creating a dedicated funding source for housing.

Common Ground/Add 2
In addition, a public workshop will be held on April 14 and repeated on April 16. At the
workshops, people will receive information from the Town about possible affordable housing
guidelines. They will also work in groups to develop priorities for community uses and make
recommendations about where to site them. "We think the best public decisions are made
when people can get information first-hand and discuss issues face-to-face, so we, hope people . really turn out for these workshops," Ford stressed.
The survey and workshop responses will set the stage for the Town staff's development of
siting alternatives as well as funding options for housing. Public workshops will held in early
June to evaluate those siting alternatives and housing funding options.
Following the second round of community workshops in June, the Town will develop preferred
plans, and before submitting them to Town Council, will ask one more time for a community
response. The final recommended plan and housing funding package are slated to go before
Council for final approval by June 30.
To keep the process on track, Ford said the Town Council has established parameters--or
process "ground rules"--that will serve as a framework for the community discussion. Most
" important of those is clarification of the Town of Vail's role in facilitating the construction and/oc
acquisition of affordable housing. Government's role will not be up for public debate, Ford said.
"We've identified affordable housing.as a critical part of our public infrastructure. The time is
now for the Town to work in partnership with the community to come up with reasonable,
sensible solutions to this ongoing problem."
Using the target established through the Vail Tomorrow process, the Town Council's goal is to
have 62 percent of Vail's employees living within the Town of Vail by the year 2010, up from the
current figure of 38 percent.

Common Ground/Add 3
Decisions made during the Common Ground process could be among the most important of
this decade, according to Mayor Ford. "The community's economy, our individual investments
and the very lifestyle that keeps us here are all at stake." Ford said it's important that
decisions agreed to in the next three months are long-lasting. "If these decisions were easy,
- this community would have dealt with them long ago. This will likely be an agonizing and
grueling process, and not something anyone will want to revisit anytime soon."
He said it's aiso important for those who will be affected by the decisions to become involved
at the outset. "It really starts with the community survey," he said. "I encourage people to take
the time to fill it out and return it, then stay actively involved with the process between now and
June 30. The people who participate in the process will help guide the final decisions that are
made."
While the Town encourages as many full and part-time Vait residents and business owners as
possible to attend the April and June workshops, it has also developed additional participation
opportunities so that no one is left out. An Internet web site at vail.net/tov and a telephone
response line at (970) 479-2451 have been established. Both feedback mechanisms will be
ready for use beginning April 'l for #hose who are unable to participate on-site through the
workshops.
The Common Ground project will be managed by Andy Knudtsen, the Town's senior housing
policy planner. Anyone who would like more information about the Common Ground process
should call Knudtsen at 479-2440 or Suzanne Silverthorn, project communications manager, at
479-2115.
# # #
Ground Rules for Common Ground
• All sites, both publicly and privately held, and funding sources will be considered in the
context of the overall community good. All participants will be encouraged to look at
community-wide impacts rather than site-specific impacts.
• Some currently undeveloped public lands will be developed for community purposes.
• The 13 properties designated in the most protected open space classification (per
section 13.11 of the Town Charter) will not be considered for any purpose other than
those uses allowed by this section of the Town Charter. - ,
• The process will focus on projects that affect land use and will not address related issues
such as maintenance or operations.
• All projects that are already underway will proceed.
• Funding sources for affordable housing will be identified and implemented.
• Because failure to have a time line has, in the past, resulted in failure to resolve the
housing problem, the Town of Vail has set June 30 to have these funding and siting
decisions made so a project(s) can be underway in 1998.
• So that the Town of Vail can be held accountable for responsibly addressing the critical
affordable housing shortage, it has set a target of having 62 percent of our community's
employees living within the Town of Vail. To achieve this goal, based on 1998 residency
figures, the Town will need to add 1,680 bed units to the existing affordable housing
supply. The Town of Vail will facilitate the construction or acquisition of affordable
housing units until that target is reached or the crisis is averted in other ways.
• The Town of Vail fill the role of facilitator in providing housing; the Town of Vail will
consider using the following strategies, as well as others, fo fulfill that role:
--land provision/site acquisition, including existing units
--facilitator/incentivize
--site-specific subsidies
--regulator/approval of projects
--condemnation for public use
--service provider (police, fire, transit, etc.)
• All ideas for public uses are welcome.
• In making these decisions, compromise will be necessary. .
• The process is open to all who want to participate; however, the Town Council must be
responsible to Vail interests--specifically residents, employers and employees.
• The final decision will be made by the Vail Town Council for the community good.

Dear Vail Town Council:
We have been following the discussions regarding Peter Seibert's monument and we feel
we must speak out now.
We are appalled with the way this man has and still is being treated by the Vail Town
Council. Never before have we seen such clisrespect and lack of gratitude given to someone
with Pete's credentials and accomplishments in this community.
We have known Pete Seibert since 1962. He was in the early years of being the architect
putting together the foundation of this great success called Vail. He is Vail's Founder!
Why not rise to the occasion and build a monument? $uild a monument to this man wha
gave so much o£ his life ana sacrificed so much to help build his and others dream.
We can't figure out why the Vail Town Council has not taken a strong leadership position
in this, instead of all of the controversy and bickering which has gone on for over a year?
The move by the town nf Vail's mayar last week to cut the budget on this project appears to
be just another bad-will move to undermine this effort.
There is so much more we can sap about tlus man and of the love, admiration and
friendship we and many others in this valleq have for him, but choose not to do so in this
letter. Instead we implore you to do the ri.ght thing £or this leader and founder of this
great area we live in. Take the lead and get something built we can all be proud of and not
one that leaves a bitter tagte in all our mouth's, especially Pete Seibert's.
Sozne cultures praise and honor their leaders and show off to the world their
accomplishments and their pride they have for them. The Japanese honor them as
"National Treasures". Others destroy their good name and attempt to Ieave them without
honor. Which will you do?
Many people have asked to put their name to this letter, however, we want it to come from
our family as we feel very strongly and wish to speak out in support of such a great person,
Pete Seibert.
Signed ui support of a memorial to Peter Seibert.

!f's in the Mail...
TOV COMMUNITY SURVEY HITS MAILBOXES THIS WEEK;
RESULTS WILL MARK THE BEGINN(NG OF COMMON GROUND PROCESS TO
ADDRESS TOV'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND
COMMUNITY FACILITIES NEEDS
(Vail)--The Town of Vail's Annual Community Survey is being mailed this week,
representing the first step in the Common Ground public involvement process that will
focus on affordable housing, its funding and other unmet community needs.
The survey is being mailed to full and part-time Vail residents and business owners--
about 11,000 in all. Although this marks the 11th year for the survey, Vail Town
Manager Bob McLaurin says public feedback is as important as ever. "We can't stress
the importance of taking.the time to fill the survey out this year, even if you filled it out
last year, or the year before, or the year before that," he said.
That's because the Vail Town Council is asking for help from the community to create
a dedicated funding source for affordable housing, and a plan for determining how to
use the remaining available lands within the town's boundaries. That siting plan, to be
completed in three months, will include affordable housing, parks, open space and
community faciiities.
The survey, in particular, asks respondents to help prioritize community needs,

Cow4 RECYCLED PAPER
Add 1/TOV Community Survey
evaluate guidelines for determining where to site affordable housing within the town and
evaluate a list of possible funding sources for housing. The results will be forwarded to
public workshops on April 14 and April 16 in which participants will work in groups to
develop priorities for community uses and make recommendations about where to- site
them. -
In addition to the Common Ground questions, the community survey asks
respondents to evaluate the delivery of municipal services, as well as additional
community needs and priorities.
"We know it's nearing the end of ski season and most folks are ready to leave town
for a break," said McLaurin. "But, before you do, please take a moment to fill out the
survey and return it. This is our annual report card. It's important to hear from as many
people as possible."
Results from past surveys have been used to:
• create a plan to bring animal control services in-house soon (rather than
contracting with Eagle County)
• expand the "Park Free After 3" program for an entire season
• push forward with initiatives to facilitate additional housing for locals within Vail's
boundaries
• work to maintain Vail's world class resort image while being sensitive to the
emerging presence of Vaif Resorts, Inc.
• fund improvements to the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges
• appoint a full-time housing coordinator
• establish a walk-in service counter for Community Development Department
customers
• streamiine the town's development review process (now underway)
• emphasize citizen involvement in community problem-solving
• institutionalize the survey as an annual feedback mechanism
"The survey has been an important tool in identifying new focus areas and in
evaluating our customer service levels," McLaurin said. "We're holding a mirror up to
(more)
Add 2/TOV Community Survey
ourselves to find out if we're in synch with community expectations and needs."
ThaYs why participation is critical. McLaurin said the four-page survey has been
simplified this year to encourage responses from every household and business. It's
shorter than ever and results will be tabulated by optical scanner for faster results. .
"With this simplified format, we're challenging everyone to take 10 minutes to help prioritize what's important," he said. Respondents are asked to return the survey within
10 days. RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm, will tabulate the results.
For more information, or to request additional surveys for your household, please call
the Town of Vail Community Information Office at 479-2115.
