Community Development Department Published April 24, 1998 in the Vail Trail. 2 INDOOR MUI,TIPLE USE EVENTS CENTER AND ICE R1NK PROPOSAL In December of 1997, the Eagle County Commissioners agreed to give 120 days to a Multiple Use Events Center Committee (MiJECC) to come up with a concept for building and funding an Indoor Multiple Use Events Center and Indoor Ice Rink on the County owned 150+ acres at the Fairgrounds. After many meetings and much planning, in March of 1998, the MITECC went back to the Commissioners, Johnette, James and Bud. Using the suggestions and parameters set out by the two public surveys and subsequent meetings for master planning the150 + acres owned by our County, the MUECC came up with the following concept: A. Structures: The attached packet shows the proposed size and seating capacity the MLTECC is considering. In the Multiple Use Events Building there would be approximately 5000 spectator seats for an event and up to 7500 for a presentation or concert. There would be two additional low cost buildings that could be used for warm up and stalls for large equestrian events. The adjacent indoor refrigerated ice rink would be regulation size for hockey with minimal seating for spectators. B. Source of funds: The cost estimates are not a1i in yet, but we are anticipating the costs to be five to eight million dollars. The MUECC has proposed that the funds would be raised through a variety of sources that would not involve raising taxes: 1) private funds and or donations, 2) corporate sponsors, 3) grants, such as GOCO funds, 4) royalties from gravel pit mining C. Management of facilities: We are proposing that an authority would be formed with Eagle County, WECMRD, and possibly one other governmental agency. The County could appoint a few of the members of the MLJECC to the Board at its inception. The Board would then hire a manager who would run the facilities and do promotional work to book events that would generate revenue. D. Ongoing Operational Expense: The amount is yet to be determined. The MtTECC has proposed that the expenses would be paid by promotional events throughout the year, nominal fees to local groups using the facilities, and funds generated from the proposed nine hole executive golf course to be built in the gravel pit. E. Possible uses: ice hockey for small children to seniors, figure skating and public free skating, local equestrian clubs (team penning, roping, pony club, 4-H,etc.), winter rodeos, concerts year round, car shows, boat shows, motor home shows, sporting events such as: indoor soccer, High School Tournaments(wrestling, volleyball, etc), large parties, proms, teen activities and on and on. The Commissioners agreed to the concept of building the facilities on the County ground at that meeting and postponed any decision to extend leases to WECMRD for more ball ' fields and postponed any decision for Western Mobile to extend their lease for more County ground to mine. The Multiple Use Events Center Committee will be going back to the Commissioners on ~ May 19, 1998 with a specific proposal and plan for funding and maintenance of the proposed indoor facilities. Therefore, we wauld greatly appreciate your comments, suggestions and any input you could provide us with. The list of the volunteer committee members assisting with the planning of the Multiple Use Events Center Concept follows: 1. Ross Graves - a golf course and landscape architect who is well know nationally as ; well as locally, cunently living in East Vail. 2. Bob Couri - President of Britina Design Crroup, Inc. from Denver who has participated ' in the creation of Coors Field and is currently working on a new stadium for our Broncos ~ 3. Dan Godec - Vice President of the West Star Banks (Dan is working on funding) 4. Ed Swinford - long time local and successful Real Estate Broker in Beaver Creek i 5.

MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Steve Thompson, Finance Director RE: 1998 Supplemental Appropriation DT: April 24, 1998 Attached to this memorandum are the combined 1997 - 98 financial reports for al! Town of Vail funds and a schedule summarizing the required supplementals to the 1998 budget. Most of the required supplementals have been discussed previously by Council, and this is the compilation of these changes. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide additional information regarding the supplemental appropriations. The majority of this appropriation involves rolling forward unspent 1997 appropriations ($2.1 million) and expenditures related to employee housing projects ($4.5 million'), and this includes a transfer of ($1.3 million) from the General Fund Balance to pay for the construction of the Red Sandstone and Arosa housing projects. New expenditures in this supplemental include: Conversion of CEO positions from seasonal to full time $99,000 Organizational development activities $50,000 Common Ground Public Process $100,000 Lionshead Master Pian Process $81,000 Heavy Equipment purchases $132,000 Parking Structure Capital Maintenance $106,000 Capital Projects budgeted in `98 requiring additional funds $255,000 Town Officials The most significant expenditure in the Town Officials category involves our on going organizational development activities. This effort is designed to improve the effectiveness of the TOV organization. It will provide the best "bang for the buck" for our taxpayers and customers, while enabling us to continually improve our services. 1The cost of the Arosa and Redsandstone Projects is $3,200,000. As indicated, $1,346,000 will come from the TOV fund balance, and $1,874,000 will come from Upper Eagle Valley. This $4.5 figure is generated by counting the $1,346 twice for the internal fund transfer. Specifically we are attempting to improve internal communication, get alignment around the town and departmental missions, visions, and values. When the budget was prepared last year, we discussed these organizational effectiveness activities but did not have a figure to insert into the budget. At that time the Council agreed to fund this important activity through a supplemental appropriation. CommunitX Develonment Department The $25,100 expenditure in the Community Development Department will be used to fund the replacement of the personal computers. This replacement is neces$ary because the existing computers are obsolete and will not run current programs (e.g., Windows 95, etc.). As indicated, this expenditure will be funded from 1997 departmental savings. The Lionshead Master Plan process will require additional funds to complete because the project has been extended significantly. As you recall, the project was originally scheduled to be complete in June 1997. For numerous reasons, the project has been extended. These extensions required additional design time and meetings, both of which have increased the cost of this effort. Assuming this project can be completed in accordance with the latest schedule, an additional $135,000 will be needed. With Vail Associates joint funding, the Town's portion is estimated to be $80,000. Public Works The $53,000 for employee housing is the cost of leasing seasonal housing units for bus drivers and other seasonal employees. This cost is partially offset by rental income from these units. The reduction of iease payments will be used to purchase specialized equipment for snow removal on the upper deck of the VTRC. Poliee Department The $99,000 change to the Police Department Budget is the conversion of the CEO from seasonal to full time positions. The Council discussed this and authorized this change last month. This is a one year trial period. If we are serious about code enforcement and loading and delivery management, I believe we will need to continue this into the future. The additiona4 equipment, call checks and training are necessary to fund the expansion of the Vail Dispatch Center. These costs will be offset by dispatch service users. The $104,000 revenue increase represents Federal Government funding for additional drug enforcement and the related expenditure for a new drug detective and associated costs. Parking Structure Fund The anticipated loss for Park Free After 3 program is $400,000. We have included this adjustment to the budget to show the impact on the fund balance. The $106,000 appropriation will fund the snowmelt project, as well as the essential infrastructure projects (including: expansion joint replacement, tee bearing repairs and sprinkler replacement). The $106,000 represents the additional costs to complete these improvements, with the balance of $173,800 coming from unspent 1997 appropriations. Housinq Fund The Housing Fund represents the most signficant change to the 1998 budget. As indicated in the schedule, it represents $4,057,692 of this supplemental. We will be transferring $1,346,000 from the General Fund Balance to cover our portion of these projects. The water and sanitation district will fund $1,874,000. This amount is shown as revenue in the schedule. Capital Pro*ects Fund The total supplemental for the Capital Projects Fund is $1,270,388. All but $255,000 is unspent 1997 appropriations. A review of the 1997 capital projects report shows the projects that were not finished in 1997 and a roll forward is required. The $255,000 includes: Seibert Circle $73,000 Slifer Plaza $60,000 Snowmelt Project $102,000 Siebert Circle and the snowmelt project have both been bid; however, at this time we have not received the Slifer Plaza bid.

I apologize for the confusion caused by the lack of communication on the approved sign program for City Market in Vail, Colorado. I hope to clarify the history of approvals for this development as well as educate you on the approval process for signs at this site. On August 20, 1997, the Design Review Board approved a sign program for the City MarketNail Commons development. A sign program is required for new development or redevelopment projects. The program establishes sign locations and sizes based upon the standards found in the Sign Regulations. The sign program does not allow any variation for the square footage of signs or numbers of signs permitted. Several locations of signs and the "Vail Commons" sign were eliminated from the sign program at the meeting by your representative and the DRB, and marked directly on the official sign program for this site. The "Vail Commons" sign was eliminated because it would be one sign beyond what the Sign Regulations allow. Additionally, a sign program is not a"sign permit." Therefore, every sign to be installed requires an independent sign application and permit approval to ensure compliance with the approved sign program and the Sign Regulations. No approvals or permits were issued for the "Vail Commons" sign. Therefore, this sign needs to be removed as it is in violation of the Sign Regulations and the approved sign program. Please remove this sign by May 15, 1998. Page 1 of 2 C~~ RECYCLEDPAPEJ? Again, I apologize for the confusion and the lack of communication on the sign program. I think part of the problem was that third parties were involved in the approval process and that both your staff and the Town's staff involved in this process has changed. I hope this letter clarifies the issues for you. If you have any questions, please call me at 479-2148. ZLw- Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP Senior Planner c: Russell Forrest, Community Development Director Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney Town Council Page 2 of 2 Memorandum To: Town Council From: Andy Knudtsen Suzanne Silverthom Russ Forrest Todd Oppenheimer Subject: Information from the first round of Common Ground community workshops Date: April 28, 1998 Staff has compiled the community responses from the Common Ground workshops held April 14 and 16. With nearly 200 participants, we are pleased with the level of community involvement. The small group work enabled most of the participants to reach consensus regarding the siting of parks, open space, housing, and community facilities. The recommendations from the workshops are provided in the attached packet. Staff will analyze the information and summarize the themes at a later date what is included now is the raw data as it was recorded on the maps or the response forms. The attached information packet includes: l. A five paae matrix summarizing each group's siting recommendations. 2. Comments regarding the siting guidelines and potential funding sources. 3. Comments about the process. 4. The press release issued immediately following the workshops. 5. Tallcing Points for Council. The talking points may be of particular interest to Council members. As many of the individuals who participated are likely to follow up with you about the recommendarions made or the process itself, sta.ff has prepared these points to enable Council to deliver a succinct, consistent message to the community. One of the successes of the workshops which have been mentioned numerous rimes on the evaluation forms was the opportunity to make decisions directly with Council members. You may want to connect with your key contacts to thank them for coming and share Council's excitement with them about the process.

Every table seemed to be focusing on something different. When we involve the whole town "at one table," it should be interesting. It was also nice to have the TOV map out and color-coded for easy use. • Find out about Vail; get opinions from others; understanding options. • Hearing people's concerns. - • Real work. • The task was far too broad and thus was impossible. • Anyone could participate. • Learning of TOV priorities; interaction with others and discussions of needs. • Focuses the community's discussion about these issues. • Public input is vital to maintaining the quality of life in Vail. • Working together as a community. • Positive, joint effort towards solutions. • To see where town and community are at in tackling problems. • Hands-on information and interaction. Learning more about the issues and the process. • Up-to-date survey information and maps. • Bringing people together. • I'm proud of the TOV for taking the "bull by the horns." Good goals have been set for housing with public input! • Consensus and the opportunity to communicate with so many people. • Chance to talk to elected officials. • Great information and good discussion. • Seeing agreement as to problems. • Conversation. • Finding out about the privately-owned sites. • Interaction with diverse group of people. Amazing we could all reach consensus on the issues at hand. Greatest Value April 16 Session • That people are addressing problems and hopefully developing a plan and action to resolve the issues. • Working with others and getting information. • Got more information than ever before. • Hear diverse views of younger people. • Working with others. • Ability to share my ideas. • Sharing ideas with others. • Better understanding of issues in Vail. • Better understanding of the Vail community and where the interests lie (family/youth, recreation, preserving the land). • Sharing of ideas into results. • Just talking together; sharing ideas; noting that everyone cares. • Talking about difficult issues with my neighbors that will affect our town. • It was good to hear different points of view. • Locations of proposed sites; priority uses of sites. • Asking a council member why TOV is pushing affordable housing down our throats. i • Understanding what the goals & objectives are for TOV. • Consensus-building. • Meeting new neighbors. • As a newcomer, I learned a bunch about Vail. • Share other ideas with community members. • Useful to look at specific sites. • Exchange of ideas and concerns. • Learning other people's perspectives on what should be Vail's future; discussion about what Vail is. • Being able to give input. There are opportunities, but they are hard to make. • To give input and feel better informed about options. • Meeting others, sharing concerns and hearing other opinions. • Small group discussion; good direction. • Our group was great; we agreed on most everything. • Community interaction on the future/goals. • Child care and "the process." • Communication from a wide range of people. Need more young people and families. • Hearing others views, ideas, concerns. • Meeting other residents. • Information provided. • Picked up some ideas in spite of the fact there was no consensus. • Listening to neighbors. • Talking openly with no restrictions. • Structure for work session. • Hearing what others wanted for Vail as well as giving our input. • To realize the interest on behalf of locals. LeYs continue. • Giving input to try to make Vail a better living community. • Ability to form consensus. • Ability for input. Suggested Improvements for Future Workshops April 14th • More time, or focus down to finer issue. • More time. If these decisions are the future of Vail, we all can afford to spend more time on this. If the next forum is similar, it would be nice to have each group talk about what they came up with. • None. • More time to work. • A little more time for consensus work. • Discussion of small group sessions with total group. • I think this was excellent. • Get some of the 15- to 30-year-olds participating. Do speakers need to repeat what is on the written pages? This takes up time. • Shorter presentation. • More time for work groups. • Provide as much time as everyone needs; otherwise, TOV did a great job presenting information and visual aids to work with. • Less background time; more work time. • Aggressive agenda for time frame. Maybe longer on workshops; shorter on more general brainstorming. • More time to talk; less lecture. • Too many ground rules and givens. Givens many times are opinions, not facts. • More time; information was necessary. Not enough time for discussion and consensus. • Not enough time; too much presentation. ~ • Give more time for input; less first discussion. • More time. • Advertise early to attract more participants from further out (downvalley); format was fine, but time was limited for someone who had to return to work. Suggested Improvements for Future Workshops April 16 • Utifize the list that we sign when we walked into this meeting to inform previous participants of future meetings. This should be activated at least 2 weeks in advance. , • More definitive plans. • Have one very knowledgeable person at the table to guide the group. - • Try not to have such a broad range of subjects; more focused. Do a workshop just for young people. Do one for students. They'd be more likely to get involved with their peers. • A bit more time. • Don't make assumptions about private/public sector funding for housing. • Encourage diversity of participation: employees, young people, minorities. • Do not assume things. • Choose once in a while a breakfast meeting starting at 7 am to 9 am. • Facilitate consensus; need more direction and clarity. • Less explanation on process; we know the process. • None. • Larger room; tables farther apart. This was too noisy. • More time. • Have more participation from the people who are looking for housing (seasonal and full- time employees). • Smaller groups; hard to hear because of noise; try to have more young people attend. • Assign facilitator/moderator for each table; improved acoustics; methods need to be employed to keep groups on track/focused. • Less arguing and more individual input, like this sheet, but with the maps and list for more individual input. • Maybe have information available at TOV or 30 minutes before the meeting, to be better prepared; a facilitator at each table designed at a volunteer. • I think this one was great! • More of the same. • Need more time and time to interact between groups and then report individual group recommendations. • More time. • More time; more workshops. • Prioritize "community uses," rather than pick sites since so tough for us to effectively do this. • Emphasis on employee housing and town real estate is not appropriate other than for town employees. TOV needs to make it possible for employees to build on iots (e.g. drop landscape escrow money, stock plans for garages). • One person in the group to direct to keep fcom getting fragmented. • More young and old people. • Narrow the guidelines so that we don't "wander" so much; make goals more specific. • Set priorities! (needs for tourists as well as locals). • Shorter preamble. 0 Thought this was pretty good. , J General Comments & Observations April 14th • it's a joke when places like the Vail Village Centre proposal for affordable housing starts at $160,000 for a 2 bedroom. Let's define affordable. Vail's future economy, community needs a convention center and a community center. • This should be done frequently! • The lack of employees may be stemming from wages that haven't caught up to rental and real estate prices that have doubled and trippled in the last 5 to 10 years, unlike the wages. ` • I liked working to consensus and not avoiding decision-making. • Keep all priorities in perspective; don't overemphasize any one (i.e. housing). , • I hope we do drive this to conclusion and Council acts upon it. • I feel a transparency of the topo for these open space parcels could be useful for overview reference. • I feel that we will need the opinions of younger residents. They do not fill out the town survey, so we need to find another way to get their input. • Very effective and time well spent and shared with concerned Vail residents. We all need to be visionary about Vail's future. • Presentations were valuable, but adequate time was not available to provide meaningful analysis or input. Process, due to timing, was somewhat manipulated. • Great idea to have these workshops. • Town employees were helpful in answering some difficult questions. They know locations well. General Comments & Observations April 16 • If Europe can bury autobahns, we can bury our interstate! Ask Ludwig Kurz. • Well done. People got very involved and expressed interest in the issues. Negative: some people have personal agendas and don't go beyond into other aspects of the discussion. • Lots of frustrated city planners! People want to be a part, they love this community! • I feel that there was an overall assumption presented by the Council that employee/affordable housing is the responsibility of the public sector. I strongly disagree with this assumption. We need to look to the private sector to provide solutions, such as inclusianary housing. Each employer should be responsible for a percentage of housing if they expect to do business in Vail. • I feel like affordable housing is being rammed down everyone's throat. Get off it. The private sector will never solve its own problems if government jumps in to save it all the time. Who moved here not knowing this was a resort, seasonal economy? • Are there enough water sources? We need assistance for developing existing buildings for valley housing. • The fact that the town has committed to doing housing "come hell or high water" needs to be tempered with from the private sector. • More housing projects not needed; performing arts center not needed; convention center not needed. • Vail has spent 30 years driving working people out of town. TOV continues to make it difficult for families to live here. I find it ironic that we are now asked to subsidize second housing for snowboarders. • Donovan Park and Bighorn Park are both zoned agricultural/open space, yet Bighorn Park is protected and Donovan Park is not. We are told this is because Bighorn Park was developed as a park in the past. It is clear{y certain that past negiect of the Matternhorn neighborhood is now codified into inequality for all time. . . • I feel Vail is getting to be too expensive for the middle class. Lots of skiers love Vail, however, opt for smatler resorts because they can't afford the cost of lift tickets. A family of 4 has to pay about $300 per day just to ski. • The community and TOV needs to not just focus on housing, but to focus on all issues, like community/youth center and parking, and free parking. • This was great. Lousy veggie sandwich, but that's OK. • Very informative. TOV did the homework to give us the necessary tools to perform our tasks. Very well done. • People had a hard time finding landmarks or specific sites on the maps. It took a lot of time away trying to determine where specific sites were. • You (Vail) are doing such a super job by doing all this! Thank you!! • Inclusionary zoning makes employer partially responsible. Keep open space as much as possible! Develop only for community projects. • Too many chiefs. • Participants who were interested only in special interests that concerned them. • The lite lunch appreciated. • The map idea is great. We should work backwards. "What should each site be used for?" • Great to have these meetings as they are very beneficial to achieve a well functioning community as well as a great resort town. 4/24/98 TOV Community Information Office ~ *IL TOWN O75 South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 1998 , Contact: Andy Knudtsen, 479-2440 Project Manager • Rob Ford, 479-1860 Vail Mayor COMMUNITY USES PRIORITIZED AS COMMON GROUND PUBLIC WORKSHOPS PROVIDE DIRECTION ON VAIL'S FUTURE LAND USE DECISIONS (Vail)--Results from two public workshops held last week and preliminary responses to the annual Town of Vail citizen survey indicate a range of preferences when it comes to which community uses people believe are most important. People frequently mentioned the need for affordable housing, and also some type of community facility, with ideas ranging from a youth center, a performing arts center and a conference / convention center. People also said they would like to see more open space set aside, and the creation of more parks, walking trails and bike paths in Vail. The Vail Town Council has identified the creation of additional affordabte housing as a top priority, and has asked for the community's help in developing a comprehensive plan which will address not only where to locate and how to fund affordable housing, but also where to locate other community uses, such as parks, community facilities and open space. The workshops and targeted questions on the town survey are part of the Town of Vail's Common Ground process, a four-month public involvement process designed to create that plan. "It's a given that this Town Council is going to act on sotving the affordable housing problem, because if we don't this community will be left behind," said Vail Mayor Rob Ford. "We simply won't be able to compete with the communities downvalley that are creating both jobs and housing for people." (more) RECYCLEDPAPER ~ Common Ground Workshops/Add 1 The Mayor said it's possible to achieve the town's target of having 62 percent of the workforce live in Vail by 2010 by using less than 5 percent of the remaining vacant Town of Vail-owned land, if that housing were built at the density of the Vail Commons project. "While housing is clearly our focus, Town Council realizes that it would be irresponsible for us to make these decisions in a vacuum," Ford said. "We need to consider all uses and to try as a community to reach consensus on how to use the land we have left in Vail. That's what this process is all about," the Mayor said. The Common Ground process is soliciting responses from full and part-time Vail residents, employers and employees through public workshops conducted in April and June. Direction on the final plan will also come from the Town of Vait community-wide survey which has been mailed to every Vail household and to all part-time residents, a survey of 1,000 employees who work in Vail but live elsewhere in the Vail Valley, through an Internet web site and through a telephone response line. About 200 people attended the workshops on April 14 and 16. Working in small groups of 5 to 10 people, they discussed community uses, and, using Town of Vail maps, made group recommendations about which uses should be located within the Town of Vail. The overwhelming majority of the small groups were able to reach consensus about where affordable housing, parks, community facilities and open space should be located. The April 16 workshop was videotaped by Vail Valley Community Television Channel 5 and will be cablecast beginning the week of April 27. The maps which were developed during last week's workshops--23 in all--will be displayed in the hallway in the Vail Municipal Building between April 22 and June 3. Ford said the maps show some interesting consistencies and disagreements about how Vail's remaining lands should be used. Town of Vail planners are now reviewing both the survey data and the information contained (more) . Common Ground Workshops/Add 2 on the maps. They are looking for consistency in prioritized community uses as well as where those uses were sited on the maps. Staff wi!l then apply technical analysis to those consistently-mentioned sites to determine the feasibility of placing the identified community use on that site. Once that technical work is completed, the staff will prepare multiple alternatives for a plan for siting affordable housing, open space, community facilities and parks within the Town of Vail. They will also develop possible funding approaches for affordable housing. At two public workshops in June, people will be asked to review and select from those alternative plans and to provide response to the possible funding packages for housing. The workshops will be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. on June 3 at the Marriott and at 8:30 a.m. on June 4 at the Lodge at Vail. Using the guidance they receive from that set of public workshops, town planners will then develop a final siting plan and funding approach. The plan and funding approaches will be published in local newspapers for final public response before they are forwarded on to the Town Council for approval in late June.

The Vail Town Council is sponsoring the Common Ground public involvement process to gef peop/e's preferences about how the remaining lands in Vail should be used. - • This Council has established increased affordable housing as a given in the process because we believe we would be irresponsible as a public body not to address the housing problem. If we don't, we simply won't be able to compete with other Vail Valley communities or with other resorts. • But we don't want to plan for housing in a vacuum, so we're also interested in knowing what other community uses people would like to see in the Town of Vail. • We're also asking people where they would like housing and those other community uses sited, and how they'd like to pay for affordable housing. The process so far has accomplished: • An increased community awareness of the affordable housing problem and the significant negative impacts that problem is having and will continue to have on this community unless it's addressed. • A healthy community-wide dialoq.ue about what's important to us as full- time residents, business owners employees and part-time residents • A statistically-valid sampling through the Town's annual survey of how both our full and part-time residents feel about which community uses are most important, their responses to the guidelines for siting affordable housing, community facilities, open space and parks, and any suggestions they have for a dedicated funding source, or sources, for affordable housing. • The active involvement of close to 200 people at the April 14 and 16 public workshops who worked in small groups to figure out which community uses were most important to them to have in Vail, and to generate 23 maps of Vail which indicated where they'd like to have those uses sited. People at the workshops also gave the Town guidance on the siting guidelines we should use and the sources of funding we should consider for affordable housing. Most of the groups, by the way, were able to reach consensus on where they wanted things sited. • While there were many different ideas exchanged at the workshops about what should go into the plan overall people were pleased to be included in the decision-makinci process On workshop evaluation forms people said they liked aettina all the information from the Town they liked that the Town was takina "the bull bv the horns." but was also gettingpublic input Many remarked that thev liked best the opportunity to discuss issues face-to-face with a diverse group of people. • A web site and telephone response line have been established for those who can't be in town to participate directly in the Common Ground process. ~ The Common Ground process is designed to be open, honest and fair: • Open means that the process is open to everyone who wants to have a say, whether they're a fulf-time, part-time or non-resident ofi Vail, or a business owner or an employee who can't, but would like to live in Vail. • Honest means that we want people to be able to develop good judgment about the decisions which we're asking them to help us with, so we are providing complete, straightforward information about all the issues which are being considered. We're not filtering any information, but are providing the possible downsides as well as upsides so that people can make informed choices. • Fair means that all voices are equal in this process, and everyone has an equal opportunity to influence the final outcome. The Town Council will not allow special interests to have any more "pull" than anyone else. In our minds, all interests, which includes everyone who cares about Vail and wants to be part of this process, are special, and a1i of them have an equal voice. We invite all interests to be part of this process, because the people who participate in it will guide the final plan. If we're approached by interests who want to work outside of the process to try to influence decisions, we will encourage them instead to join us in the process. lt's important to remember fhat there is some overlap in intent befween the Vail Tomorrow strategic planning process and the Common Ground process: • There are a number of Vail Tomorrow endorsed actions which relate directly to the Common Ground process: ? Affordable Housing Team. There are 11 actions which relate directly to increased affordable housing in Vail. The actions set the target goal of having 62 percent of both seasonal and year-round employees living in Vail who work in Vail by the year 2010, and recommend various approaches for achieving that goal. The Team's actions deal with funding, zoning, specific projects on specific sites, and possible Town actions to encourage more affordable housing. (For detail on the actions, refer to page 4 in the attached Vail Tomorrow newsletter). ? Building Community Team. 1) Develop pocket parks, small neighborhood parks with playgrounds and picnic tables, and 2) Create a multi-purpose building that meets community needs, serving people from all demographic groups, all ages and full-time, part-time and seasonal residents. ? Natural and Built Environment Team. 1) Donovan Park should be used in the following way: the lower bench should be preserved as open space; the middle bench should be used for affordable housing; and the upper bench should be used for a combination of open space and affordable housing, and 2) Continue implementation of Open Space Plan to protect neighborhood "scale" open space lands. ? All Vail Tomorrow Teams. Vail Tomorrow believes that open space and affordable housing are both important to the Vail community, and that one should not be pursued at the exclusion of the other. • Some people who were involved in Vail Tomorrow and who feel strongly about key issues involved in the Common Ground process may characterize their positions as "official" positions of Vail Tomorrow Teams. The only "official" x ~ positions of the Teams are the actions listed above. • As it committed to when it endorsed the Vail Tomorrow process, the Town of Vail will do its best to implement the Vail Tomorrow recommended actions through the plan produced by the Common Ground process. However, Town Council must be responsible to the Town's mission as it makes its final decision about elements of the plan, and could feel compelled to make decisions which don't conform to all the actions recommended through Vail Tomorrow. Next steps in the Common Ground process will be: • Town of Vail planners are now reviewing both the survey data and the " information contained on the maps produced at the workshops. They're looking for consistency in prioritized community uses as well as where those uses were sited on the maps. Staff will then apply technical analysis to those consistently-mentioned sites to determine the feasibility of placing the +dentified community use on that site. This work will include taking a look at site constraints, guidelines, potential for public/private partnerships, and cost of construction and/or acquisition. • Once that technical work is completed, the staff will prepare multiple alternatives for a plan for siting affordable housing, open space, community facilities and parks within the Town of Vail. They will also develop multiple funding approaches for implementing the various alternatives. • At two public workshops in June, people will be asked to review and select from those alternative plans and to provide response to the funding packages. • The workshops will be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. on June 3 at the Marriott and at 8:30 a.m. on June 4 at the Lodge at Vail. • Using the guidance they receive from that set of public workshops, Town planners will then develop a final siting plan and funding approach. Those plan and funding approaches will be published in local newspapers for final public response before they are forwarded on to the Town Council for approval in late June. The Vail Town Council is committed to honoring the Common Ground process. That means: • Each Council member is personally participating in the process and we're hearing first-hand what people are saying about what's important to them and whv. • We'll hold staff accountable for recommendations which reflect the expressed public concerns, and we'll trust their recommendations. • We won't allow anyone to bypass the process because that wouldn't be fair to the people who put in the time and effort to participate. • We won't have much sympathy for any "11th hour" appeals that are made to re-visit the recommendations which come out of this process; everyone has had a fair opportunity to have their say and should not be allowed to delay or change decisions at the last minute. • None of us, including Council members, may get our first choice when it comes to the final plan that's adopted. The goal of the process has been to try to reach a broad community consensus on what's best for the community, and consensus usually requires compromise and give-and-take. ~ z ~ The Town of Vail has made a commitment to this community that we wili involve the community in the big decisions we make. We've changed the way we do business over the last three years, and we've been ab/e fo make some good things happen: • The West Vail interchange was successfully re-designed, and without controversy, based on a public involvement process. • The Town has been a big supporter of the Vail Tomorrow process which has involved over 1,000 people and has resulted in the recommendation of 40 specific actions to improve Vail, and many of those actions are being addressed in the Common Ground process. • The Town is using an extensive public involvement process which is involving many full-time and part-time residents in developing the Lionshead Master Plan. • We're working hard to provide a new standard of leadership and create a community culture that rewards community participation and collaboration rather than a system that is driven b.y those who have the loudest voice or the most "behind the scenes" influence 4/24/97 TOV Community lnformation Office M.

As indicated in a memorandum that was in your packet, there are additional funds required to complete these projects as designed. The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information regarding each of the projects. I apologize for the delay in getting this to you. However, these numbers continue to move and change on a daily basis. Seibert Circle Last month Council authorized this project to proceed at a cost not to exceed $634,500. We have a bid from B&B Construction to build the project as designed. As indicated in the memo on Friday we are approximately $56,483 over the allocated amount. The breakdown is as follows: $145,000 Jesus Moroles Contract 44,800 Moroles peripherai granite 6,000 landscaping allowance 38,500 design fees 452,093 construction costs 57.790 contingency (10%) $744,183 <53.200> water line credit (to be paid by Upper Eagle Valley) $690,983 <30.000> funding from storm sewer account $ 26,486 budget shortfall As indicated we are $56,483 over the approved amount. Assuming you wish to proceed with the project as designed, we believe we can allocate $30,000 from the storm drainage improvements budget. Since $30,000 of this project is storm sewer work. This would leave a net shortfall of $26,483. RECYCLEDPAPER Another alternative to fund this shortfall is to reduce the contingency by this amount. However I am somewhat reluctant to do that given how quickly the design came together. Transportation nowmelt Project The budget amount for the transportation snowmelt project was $1,279,125. Last week we received a bid from Yampah Construction in the amount $1,303,697. We believe this is a legitimate bid and close to the engineer's estimate for this project. The budget for this project is as follows: $1,279,125 project budget $1,303,697 construction costs (Yampah Construction) 14,864 design costs (Kirk Aker/Beaudin Ganze) 7,156 construction administration 55.000 construction contingency $1,389,717 total project costs 101,592 budget shortfall Slifer Plaza Proiect We are continuing to negotiate with Shaw Construction for the Slifer Plaza project. We received the latest cost estimate at approximately 12:00 p.m. today. There are significant questions regarding this estimate and we are not ready to move forward with a recommendation at this time. Checkpoint Charlie We are working to design the Checkpoint project, but at this point axe looking at the potential to move the Checkpoint building. The potential of moving the Checkpoint building has been discussed for many years and has some merits. We are discussing how this would affect the entrance to the Lodge. At this point, it appears that this project may be delayed while we work through some of these design issues. I apologize for the delay in getting these numbers to you. However, as discussed previously, they are changing almost on a daily basis and the numbers on this memo were generated late Tuesday morning. I look forward to discussing these projects with you. We are willing to move forward with these projects as designed, or if you wish to modify them to reduce the costs we will be able to discuss alternatives for doing so. RWM/aw HOUSING IS NOT A PRIORITY WITH VAIL RESIDENTS X Subject: HOUSING IS NOT A PRIORITY WITH VAIL RESID'ENTS Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1998 14:39:17 -0600 C From: Ginny Culp <gculp@vail.net> Organization: RE/MAX Vail, Inc. To: ssilver@vail.net I strongly protest the use of any results that reflect the 7,500 surveys that were sent to all box holders at the Vail post office. To use those surveys to ascertain anything is bogus. It is wrong to ask people who do not live in a community to decide how the people in the community will spend their dollars, their energies and their open space. The motivation for mailing to all 7,500 box holders is quite transparent. If business people and others want input into how the tax money is ' spent in the TOV they ought to move here and participate financially. I can't imagine that input from the citizens of Vail would be welcome in, say, Edwards on the issue of incorporation. Or are we going to be asked to answer surveys on that issue? Is there something I don't know??? The people who are asking for employee housing, convention centers, etc. are people who stand to benefit but won't be required to foot the bill. I am in disbelief that the current council feels that taxpayers should pay for anything that has to do with housing people. That the current council thinks open space is not as important as employee housing. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? The council is supposed to be representative government, not omnipotent rulers. By taking these "flyers" into areas where residents don't want to go is a miscarriage of the democratic system. 1 of 1 4/20/98 7:28 AM i :.icnshead redevelopment " G,,1~ I+c.~,~w C Qro~u f~at~ ~ Subject: Lionshead redevelopment Date: Sat, 18 Apr 1998 19:42:53 -0500 ~ From: Douglas B Haynes <dhaynes@BLomand.Net> To: SSilver@Vail.net Suzanne, My wife and I have communicated with you several times in the past and have gotten the feeling that our comments were being acknowledged but pushed aside because they didn't conform with the direction that the plan is "supposed" to go. Perhaps that is because we have not been able to effectively communicate our views. We are afraid that in the process of expansion Lionshead is going to lose the very thing that makes it different from the Village and Beaver Creek - it's semi rural environmentally friendly atmosphere. That is, the lack of dominance by conerete and steel structures. To us the best thing about Lionshead is it's friendliness. It is OK to make it more attractive but let's not make it impersonal. We recently discovered an article discussing how a major university, in it's need for expansion, diverted away from the direction it's founding fathers had laid out. It is now trying to recover from those errors. The expansions that were made were very tasteful and expensive but cost the campus some of it's character. They found that the most attractive building cannot replace natural beauty. I will faac this article to you via the town council @479-2157. If that is not a current fax # please let me know.

Attn: Community Survey 1998 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter as an attachment to the 1998 Community Survey. One of my bYggest concerns is the issue of required employee housing and the burden this puts on the developers and the impact it has on home owners. Most of the people who own residences have worked many years, in most instances having to have two incomes, to afford homes in this town. I work over 60 hours a week and my wife also works full time. We have not always been able to afford owning a home in Vail but we set goals in our life and one of them was to own a home in Vail. My question is shouldn't that be the case for everyone? Why should one group of people work hard and save so as to be able to afford a home in Vail and another group be given homes at a lower cost? In addition when someone purchases a residence for a certain amount of money usually the surrounding housing is in the same ball park with regards to cost / value. Is it fair to ' require lower cost housing in the same building or area? Vail Associates, in my opinion, have been great for the Town of Vail. As a primary employer in the Vail area they have a large investment in the community yet they have been _ criticized. The,y invest / risk large amounts of money every year and are one of the reasons Vail has World Class status. What other corporation or group of people has that large an investment or creates as many jobs in this area? In retrospect, Vail Associates has also profited handsomely from it business. To that end, should they not bear the burden of housing for their employees? Why can't they do the same thing Disney does in Florida for it's employees, that being building affordable residences to house employees. As at Disney, they could charge their employees for the housing based on the employee's pay and the hours they work. This approach would solve the problem of employee housing as well as take the burden off home owners and developers. First, it would produce the affordable housing that is definitely needed. Second, Vail Associates would collect the rents which would allow for continued development and improvement. Third, with Vail Associates controlling the employee housing they could base the rent or mortgage on the employee's pay making it affordable as well as guarantee that employees work . Town of Vail (con't) page 2 a certain amount of hours. Fourth, the housing would . appreciate in value as does other real estate making the money invested in the housing grow. We all understand that working in a resort area is not the . best paying employment and that there is a need for these people to be able to live in decent affordable housing. - Many of the people employed do not come to work the resorts just because they can say they are at a World Class status resort. There is the additional benefit of being able to ski and this is sometimes their reason to work in this area without thought to the cost of living in this area. This letter was not written with the intention of belittling anyone or to give anyone the impression that some people are better than others. The intention of this letter was to express my view that people that own property in the Town of Vail have worked hard and have sacrificed to obtain the property as it should be for something you want in life. To that end I believe I have outlined a win - win situation with the following points: 1. The local community gets affordable housing 2. Vail Associates gets better quality employees 3. The people with homes or condominiums, which they have invested in and have worked for, do not feel that they have worked for no reason due to required low cost housing in condominiums or neighborhoods 4. In addition, the Town and County might be able to develop some tax incentive programs for Vail Associates which will enable them to build some upper grade developments - 5. This type of system has worked for Disney in Florida, why not in the Town of Vail for Vail Associates?

TOTAL P.02 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: April 27, 1998 SUBJECT: A request for a minor CC1 exterior alteration, a building height variance, a site coverage variance and a density variance to allow for a bay addition to the penthouse unit in the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums, located at 193 Gore Creek Drive/Lot A, Block 5-B, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Rodney & Beth Slifer, represented by Jim Buckner Planner: George Ruther 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS The applicants, Rodney and Beth Slifer, represented by Jim Buckner of Slifer Designs, are requesting a Minor CC1 Exterior Alteration, a building height variance, a site coverage variance and a density variance, to allow for a bay addition to the penthouse unit in the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums, located at 193 Gore Creek Drive. The applicants are proposing to construct an 18 square foot bay addition to their residence. The addition would be constructed on the west side of the building between the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums and the Sitzmark Lodge. The bay addition is intended to provide additional dining room space within the penthouse. Pursuant to Subsection 12-7B-7A (Exterior Alterations Or Modifications, Subject To Review) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, "the construction of a new building, the alferation of an existing building which adds or removes any enclosed f/oor area, the alteration of an existing building which modifies exterior roof lines, the rep/acement of an existing building, the addition of a new outdoor dining deck or fhe modification of an existing outdoor dining deck shall be subject to review by the Planning and Environmenta/ Commission." Furthermore, in part, "Applications for the alteration of an existing building which adds or removes any enc/osed floor area of not more than one-hundred (100) square, and applications which alter exterior roof lines, shall be minor exterior alterations. Minor exterior a/terations area reviewed by the P/anning and Environmental Commission at any of its regu/arly scheduled meetings'; The applicants are requesting approval of three variances in accordance with Chapter 17 (Variances) of the Municipal Code. Pursuant to Subsections 12-17-1 A& B(Purpose), f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\slifer.427 1 *YAIL TOW "A. Reasons For Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to /essen such practical difficu/ties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsisfent with the objectives of this Tit/e as wou/d result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practica/ difficulty or unnecessary physica/ hardship may result from fhe size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon; from topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost or inconvenienee to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not be a reason for granting a variance. 8. Development Standards Excepted: Variances may be granted only with respect to the development sfandards prescribed for each district, including /ot area and site dimensions, setbacks, distances between buildings, height, density control, building bulk confrol, site coverage, usable open space, landscaping and site development, and parking and loading requirements; or with respect fo the provisions of Chapter 11, governing physica/ deve/opmenf on a site." The applicants are proposing to add an 18 square foot addition to their residence in the Commercial Core I Zone District. The Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums already exceed the building height limitation, the site coverage limitation and the total allowable GRFA limitation. Therefore, a minor exterior alteration, building height variance, site coverage variance and a density variance must be approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The minor exterior alteration and variances shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions prescribed in Chapters 12 & 17 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. II. BACKGROUND In reviewing the applicant's proposal, staff relied upon the goals, policies and objectives outlined in the various Town of Vail planning documents. The following is a summary of staff's review of the Town's planning documents: Municipal Code According to Section 12-713-1, the purpose of the Commercial Core 1 Zone District is intended to: "provide sites and to maintain a unique character of the Vail Village commercia/ area, with its mixture of /odges and commercia/ establishments in a predominately pedestrian environment. The Commercia/ Core 1 district is intended to insure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities appropriate fo the permitted types of buildings and uses. The district regulations, in accordance with the Vail Village Urban Design Guide P/an and Design Considerations prescribed site deve/opmenf standarr/s that are intended to insure the maintenance and preservation of the tightly c/ustered arrangements of buildings fronting on pedestrian ways and public greenways, and to insure the continuation of the building sca/e and architectura/ qualities that distinguish the Village." The following is a partial summary of the recent development history of the applicant's property and the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums, as it relates to the current requests: f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\,slifer.427 2 On July 10, 1989, the Planning and Environmental Commission granted an approval of a building height variance, to allow for the construction of the penthouse. On July 27, 1992, the Planning and Environmental Commission granted an approval of a site coverage variance allowing for the expansion of the outdoor dining deck at Blu's. On August 1, 1990, the Town of Vail Community Development Department issued a building permit, to allow for the construction of 125 square feet of GRFA in Unit #3, of the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums. No allowable GRFA remains available for the property after this approval. On February 14, 1994, the Planning and Environmental Commission granted an approval of a minor exterior alteration and a site coverage variance to allow for an enclosed trash and grease dumpster at the southwest corner of the building. On March 23, 1998, the Planning and Environmental Commission granted an approval of a conditional use permit aAowing the applicant to internally connect Unit #2 to the penthouse unit, thus eliminating one dwelling unit in the building and increasing the size of the penthouse. III. ZONING ANALYSIS The following summarizes the zoning statistics relevant to the applicanYs requests: Zoning: Commercial Core I Lot Area: 0.1734 acre/7,553 square feet Site coverage: Allowed - 6,043 square feet or 80% Existing - 6,084 square feet or 80.6% Proposed - 6,102 square feet or 80.8% Height: Allowed - 33'-43' up to 40%, 33' or less 60% Existing - 33'-43' (11 33' or less (17%), greater than 43' (72%) Proposed - 33'-43' (12%), 33' or less (16.5%), greater than 43' (71.5%) Density: Allowed - 6,043 square feet or 80% Existing - 6,043 square feet or 80% Proposed - 6,061 square feet or 80.2% IV. MINOR CC1 EXTERIOR ALTERATION The review criteria for this proposal are prescribed in Section 12-713-7 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The criteria include the compliance of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, the Vail Village Urban Design Considerations, the Vail Village Master Plan and the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan. The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan includes three elements, which establish the review criteria for the applicanYs requests. The first of these is referred to as the guide plan, which includes a number of sub-area concepts, many of which identify potential areas for future development and other improvements. Secondly, the Urban Design Considerations express the large-scale, land use planning and design considerations. Finally, the Arch itectu ral/ Landscape Considerations, which will be reviewed by the Design Review Board, establish the criteria for evaluating detailed design considerations of a minor exterior alteration proposal. f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\slifer.427 3 The Vail Village Master Plan and the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Pian address specific goals pertaining to the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. Upon review of the applicant's request for a minor CC1 exterior alteration, to allow for the construction of a bay addition on the west side of the Gore Creek Plaza Building, staff believes the request is in compliance with the criteria prescribed for minor exterior alteration requests. Specifically, staff believes that the proposed bay addition is architecturally compatible with the existing building, that the addition will not adversely impact adjacent property owners, that the design of the bay addition is in compliance with the Urban Design Considerations, and that the proposed minor exterior alteration will have no impacts on the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan. Furthermore, staff befieves that the proposed bay addition is in conformance with the intent of the purpose of the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. V. VARIANCE CRITERIA & FINDINGS Upon review of the Criteria and Findings for variances, contained in Section 12-17-6 of the Vail Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the requested building height variance, site coverage variance and density variance, based on the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variances to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Staff believes there is a negative relationship of the requested variances to other potential uses and structures in the vicinity of the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums. If approved, the variances would permit the Gore Creek Plaza Condominium building to further exceed building height, site coverage and to increase the density (GRFA) beyond the maximum allowed. Unlike other variances granted in the Commercial Core I Zone District, there are no physical hardships, practical difficulties, extra ordinary circumstances or unique conditions warranting a variance approval. As stated in Subsections 12-17-1 (A), inconvenience is not a criterion to be evaluated by the Planning and Environmental Commission when reviewing a variance request. Staff believes that the granting of any or all of the variances would result in a grant of special privilege. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. Staff believes that the requested variances are not warranted, and therefore, no relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the bwilding height, site coverage or density regulations is needed to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the Commercial Core I Zone District. In reviewing the applicanYs requests, staff believes there are no physical hardship or practical difficulties impacting the applicanYs site as required by Subsection 12-17-1 (A), (Reasons for Seeking a Variance), of the Zoning Code. The fact of the f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\slifer.427 4 matter is that all of the allowable development potential (height, site coverage, GRFA, etc.) has been constructed on the site and no available development potential remains. No remaining development potential is not a physical hardship, practical difficulty, extraordinary circumstance or unique condition. Staff believes that the granting of the requested variances would result in a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The requested variances will have little or no effect on this criteria. B. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the followin, findings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Minor CC1 Exterior Alteration The Community Development Department recommends approval of the applicant's request for a minor CC1 exterior alteration, to allow for the construction of an 18 square foot bay addition on the west side of the Gore Creek Plaza Building, located at 193 Gore Creek Drive. Staff's recommendation of approval is based upon our review of the criteria outlined in Section IV of this memorandum. Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission make the following findings: f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\slifer.427 5 1. That the minor exterior alteration is in compliance with the criteria prescribed in Section 42-7B-7 of the Municipal Code. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to grant an approval of the minor exterior alteration request, staff would recommend that the Planning and Environmental Commission make the following conditions part of the approval: 1. That a building height variance, site coverage variance and a density variance be approved in accordance with Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code. Variances The Community Development Department recommends denial of the applicant's request for a building height variance, site coverage variance and a density variance, to allow for the construction of a 18 square foot bay addition to the west side of the Gore Creek Plaza Building. Staff's recommendation for denial is based upon our review of the variance criteria and findings outlined in Section V of this memorandum. Staff would recommend that the Planning and Environmental Commission make the following findings: 1. That the granting of the variance will constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the building height, site coverage and density limitations on other properties classified in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. 2. That the granting of the variance will be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity of the Gore Creek Plaza Condominiums. 3. That the variance is not warranted for the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the building height, site coverage and density regulations do not result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code. b. There are no exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the building height, site coverage and density regulations does not deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the Commercial Core 1 Zone District. f:\everyone\pec\memos\98\slifer.427 6 • F - - 1 Sliler~Designs ru~m~arms I i ~ ~ t ua un~n~mv I ~rt utc ~ a ee~nak ~ Q/aM ~rLL V N T GUEST ADj $TUDY Ni-T tv I f1VTNG ROLM ~ 0 AT O HO 000 p W RM O LL ATH 0 ~ \ ~ ~ O ~ o CL HATH 1OS-°"e ~ ~ L- 0 LAl1NDRY N I T 2 KITCHEN : 0 - oo !

This year, your feedback is needed more than ever because Vail is at a critical juncture in its history. The Vail Town Council has identified affordable housing as an essential part of our public infi-astructure, and believes it would be irresponsible as a public body not to address our community's housing needs. However, the Town Council can't responsibly resolve our housing crisis without knowing what other land use priorities exist. Your survey responses will help determine those priorities. Our challenge is to work together as a community to make some tough choices. Your responses to the TOV annual community survey will mark the beginning of a three-month public involvement process that will be used to develop a comprehensive, coordinated plan which will identify public uses on Town of Vail lands for years to come. The flyer enclosed with your survey gives you more information about the public involvement process that is being used to develop the plan. It will also explain how you can personally get involved in that process, whether you're a full-time or part-time Vail resident. Piease retum your questionnaire in the enclosed business reply envelope within 10 days. If you have questions or comments regarding this evaluation process, please feel free to contact me at (970) 479-2105. Then, be sure to watch you're the Vai1 newspapers for publication of the survey results, and to get updates on the process. Thank you for your help with this important project. ~ ' ~tST' S'~ StnrPreh,i ~ , ZI~°w''-'A;'. • ~~~rv,~~~ v ~ ~ 6~ ~ Robert W.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Recreational Vehicle Parking I have owned a home in East Vail since 1978. One of the reasons I decided to make Vail my second home and eventual retirement community. was its strict controls on the use of residential and commercial developments. Recently I learned Vail is currently considering an ordinance that would allow the parking of recreational vehicles on driveways in residential areas. For the last couple of years I have already experienced the negative visual impact of having one of these huge vehicles parked next door. One of my neighbors has persistently parked one so my view of Bald Mountain and the Bighorn Valley is filled first with the sight of his home on wheels. Unless you've experienced firsthand how much of an visual impact these vehicles make in a typical subdivision, it is possible to imagine their presence as non- intrusive. However, try one next door and you' 11 quickly realize how inappropriate they are for Vail's driveways. Please reject this harmful ordinance and require these RV owners to house their vehicles in a facility designed for their storage. Sin rely, Travis Henderson 5135 E.

I apologize for the confusion caused by the lack of communication on the approved sign program for City Market in Vail, Colorado. I hope to clarify the history of approvals for this development as well as educate you on the approval process for signs at this site. On August 20, 1997, the Design Review Board approved a sign program for the City MarketNail Commons development. A sign program is required for new development or redevelopment projects. The program establishes sign locations and sizes based upon tbe sta.ndards found in the Sign Regulations. The sign program does not allow any variation for the square footage of signs or numbers of signs permitted. Several locations of signs and the "Vail Commons" sign were eliminated from the sign program at the meeting by your representative and the DRB, and marked directly on the official sign program for this site. The "Vail Commons" sign was eliminated because it would be one sign beyond what the Sign Regulations allow. Additionally, a sign program is not a"sign permit." Therefore, every sign to be installed requires an independent sign application and permit approval to ensure compliance with the approved sign program and the Sign Regulations. No approvals or permits were issued for the "Vail Commons" sign. Therefore, this sign needs to be removed as it is in violation of the Sign Regulations and the approved sign program. Please remove this sign by May 15, 1998. Page 1 of 2 RECYCLEDPAPER Again, I apologize for the confusion and the lack of communication on the sign program. I think part of the problem was that third parties were involved in the approval process and that both your staff and the Town's staff involved in this process has changed. I hope this letter clarifies the issues for you. If you have any questions, please call me at 479-2148. S' er , Dominic F.
