Home My WebLink About1998-05-05 Support Documentation Town Council Work Session J~ i Ci 1 C ~ 4; Jy~...•_..~~} Memorandum To: Town Council From Andy Knudtsen Suzanne Silverthorn Russ Forest Todd Oppenheimer Subject: Summary of Common Ground workshops Date: Apri130, 1998 On April 14 and 16, nearly 200 community members attended the first set of the Common Ground workshops and sited parks, open space, community uses, and housing. Last week, staff provided Council with the raw data from these recommendations. This week, staff has summarized the information, which reveals a surprisingly high level of correlation among the 22 different groups. The categories below are taken from the attached matrix: Recommended Open Space sites: Snowberry Upper bench of Donovan Park Water Tank site Recommended Park sites: West Vail, near Town Manager's lots Lower Bench of Donovan Park West end of Tract A, near Bald Mountain Road Recommended Community Facility sites: High Prioritv: Charter Bus Lot Above Lionshead Parking Structure Lower Bench of Donovan Park Golf Course Club House site Low Prioritv: Ford Park Mountain Bell ! Recommended Housing sites: Hiizh Prioritx Intermountain West Vail, near Town Manager's lots Hud Wirth Middle Bench of Donovan Park Lower Bench of Donovan Park Timber Ridge VA/Lionshead sites Perimeter of Lionshead structure Mountain Bell site East end of Tract A, near Bald Mountain Road Tract C, near Ka.tsos Ranch Road East Vail Water Treatment site 1Vledium Prioritv St. Moritz Upper Bench of Donovan Park Old Town shops Village Parking Structure Golf Course Maintenance Shops Booth Falls Park Low Prioritv Municipal Buildings East end of Soccer Field Ptarmigan Sunburst Public Works East Uail Exit Parcel H As you can see, there are some overlapping uses suggested for the same parcels. Between now and the June workshops, staff will be developing three difFerent siting packages, identifying the consistent theme running through the recommendations as well as reflecting the differences where noted. The core of each of the three scenarios is likely to be the same. The purpose of providing Council with this information is to help you answer questions from the community, as they may arise between now and the June workshops. The credibility of the upcoming June 30th decision will be based, in part, on the level of community involvement in the decision making process. The more Council can encourage community members to get involved, the stronger the decision will be.

Work Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas --Presentation of Silver Wreath of Valor to Michael Heydon Michael Heydon, a seasonal Town of Vail bus driver, was presented with an award for bravery by the Vail Police Department at yesterday's meeting. Heydon received the Silver Wreath of Valor, the highest award that can be bestowed upon a civilian, for rescuing a 3-year-old toddler from a car that was dangling over a y 0-foot-high retaining wall. The incident happened last Jan. 15 in the Matterhorn neighborhood when the child was left unattended in the family's parked car. The toddler apparently moved the gear shift to neutral allowing the car to roll up and over a retaining wall, where it came to rest at a 45 degree angle. Heydon, who was on his bus route, noticed the incident and ran to the rescue pulling the child from the dangling car, according to police reports. Heydon said he was surprised and honored to receive the award from Division Commander Jeff Layman of the Vail PD. Please note: Heydon's name was mis~ in the news re/ease issued April 27 We regref the error. --PEC Review During a recap of Monday's Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) meeting, Councilmembers reviewed PEC approval of the town's request for a conditional use permit to resurrect a skatepark on the top deck of the Lionshead parking structure. The approval is valid during May through October and will not be subject to annual review unless there are complaints or objections in the future. The skatepark is a joint project supported by the Vail Recreation District, Vail Associates, the Town of Vail and numerous volunteers. Also, yesterday Councilmembers learned that the developer of the "ruins" property at 1325 Westhaven Dr. in Cascade Village, will agree to a one-year timetable for development (the town's code allows a three-year time frame). In the past, Councilmembers, frustrated by the lack of progress in completing the development, have called the property an eyesore. --Presentation of Multiple Use Indoor Event Center and Indoor Ice Rink The Council heard from Terrill Knight, Joan Harned and Dan Godec, each are representatives of a citizens group that hope to advance the concept of a multiple use indoor event center and (more) L~• RECYCLEDPAPER ~ w . TOV Council Highlights/Aprii 28, 1998/Add1 indoor ice rink at the Eagle County Fairgrounds in Eagle. The group is approaching each of the towns within the county to explore interest and potential support for a facility that would be modeled after the National Western Events Center in Denver. Uses could include concerts, equestrian events, winter rodeos, indoor soccer, shows, meetings and an ice surface, among others. The facility also could house a teen center, they said. The concept calls for private dollars to build the facility, with operations governed by an authority. The representatives said the site is one of the last remaining opportunities to create a facility in which all residents of the county would benefit. Reaction by the Town Council was generally supportive, although several Councilmembers wondered if Vail would, indeed, see a direct benefit from such a facility. Councilman Michael Arnett suggested the group make a similar presentation to the Vail Recreation District, while Councilman Bob Armour asked about the impact a facility would have on the equestrian center at the Berry Creek Fifth property in Edwards. Mayor Rob Ford stressed the importance of providing recreation facilities for locals at the site, such as an affordable golf course. He also expressed support for creating equestrian-based facilities that would augment Eagle's western ranching theme, but said an ice rink or convention center concept would be more appropriate if located in Vail. Councilmember Sybill Navas advised the group not to overlook the asset of the Eagle River within the plan. She also said such a faciiity would likely serve as another magnet to lure long-time residents away Vail, which would be unfortunate. --Presentation of the Year End Financial and the First Interim Financial Report of 1998 Next, Steve Thompson, finance director, presented an overview of revenues and expenditures during 1997. Revenues exceeded the amount budgeted last year in the following categories: sales tax collections, up $545,000; Real Estate Transfer Tax, up $1.3 million; construction fees, up $243,000; and parking-pay-i n -lieu fees, up $528,000. Only two revenue categories were under budget, he said: ski lift tax, down $46,000 and daily parking revenues, down $112,000. On the expenditure side, Thompson said general fund spending was under budget by $759,000. The financial score sheet for 1998 is not as strong, however. Sales tax collections are currently running about $200,000 behind last year's pace and daily parking revenues will be about $400,000 under previous collections, he said. The parking loss is attributed to the Park Free After 3 program (this was the first time the program had been offered season-long). Mayor Rob Ford suggested putting the community on notice that come June, the Council will need to seriously evaluate the program to determine if the benefits outweigh the costs. Also yesterday, Counciamembers reviewed details of a proposed $8 million supplemental appropriation to the 1998 budget. Most of the changes involve rolling forward unspent 1997 appropriations ($2.1 million) and expenditures related to employee housing projects ($4.5 million). The supplemental will be considered for first reading at the May 19 evening meeting. --Capital Projects After a heated discussion, the Council authorized an additional $26,483 to the Seibert Circle project, increasing the projecYs cost from $634,500 to $690,983. Staff members said the bid from B&B Construction had been value-engineered to its fullest and was still running 4 percent over budget. Councilmembers Armour and Arnett advocated use of pavers rather than aggregate concrete at the project's periphery to help lower the cost, while Councilmembers Foley, Kurz, Navas and Ford said they didn't want to short-change the project. Councilman Michael Jewett made a motion to discontinue the project, but the motion failed due to lack of a second. The shortfall will come from fund balance. Also yesterday, Councilmembers agreed to authorize the transportation snowmelt project, which had been budgeted at $1.3 million. The bid from Yampah Construction is about $100,000 over budget. A$400,000 sales tax collection surplus from 1997 will be used to fund the difference. (more) ~ r TOV Council Highlights/April 28, 1998/Add2 --Mayors'/Managers' Update Town Manager Bob McLaurin said a subcommittee had met to draft a letter to the Eagle County Planning Commission in support of recommendations from the Roaring Fork Valley Planning Commission regarding a proposed county moratorium. McLaurin said the letter would be presented to the full group at a meeting on Wednesday this week. He said the group also is working on a grant request to hold a planning retreat that would include representation from each of the towns and the county. --Information Update Councilmembers received a copy of a letter from the Community Development Department that asks City Market to remove a"Vail Commons" sign on the property by May 15. The sign is in . violation of the town's sign code. Announcements included: Councilmembers will have access to Internet e-mail within the next few weeks at a dedicated terminal within the Municipal Building; the second meeting to discuss Vail Village construction projects was productive with another meeting to follow this Thursday at 10 a.m. at the Red Lion; a matrix from the Common Ground public workshops has been compiled with distribution underway; and Mike Mollica, assistant director of the Community Development Department, has resigned after nearly 10 years with the town to take a planning job with a community in Connecticut. Also yesterday, Councilmembers agreed to modify approval of a development request to improve the Mountain Haus entrance based on a recommendation from the Fire Department. --Cauncil Reports Kevin Foley said the Trails Committee has just completed a half-day retreat. He said questions still remain about the current closure of the Dowd Junction recreation path by the Division of Wildlife when the same area is currently being accessed for fishing. Foley also reminded everyone about Tuesday's Vail Recreation District election. Absentee ballots are available for those who will be leaving town. In addition, Hermann Staufer has stepped down from the VRD after eight years, Foley said. The VRD also will be approaching the town attorney soon, according to Foley, to ask for help in enforcing distribution of in-district goif passes, which are currently being abused. Ludwig Kurz reported on a recent meeting of the board of directors for Channel 5. He said Channel 5 has forged a partnership with the Vail Valley Foundation for consideration in becoming the local broadcast station for the World Championships. Channel 5 also is collaborating with the Steadman Hawkins clinic and is committed to improving its programming efforts. Bob Armour said the Colorado Association of Ski Towns is continuing to lobby for passage of several bills in the state legislature and is also lobbying for non-stop flights by British Airways out of DIA. Sybill Navas reported on a meeting of the Special Events Commission in which about $15,000 is being set aside to help fund an event in Vail Village the weekend of Aug. 29. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said that he and Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer had attended a recent meeting of the Eagle County Recreation Authority at the Council's request. --Other Sybill Navas asked if a new house in Spraddle Creek is in compliance with the town's light ordinance. Staff will follow up. (more) r • TOV Council Highlights/April 28, 1998/Add3 Bob Armour noted that garage sale signs had been posted on the roundabout signs in West Vail last week. Kevin Foley continued to express concerns about the lack of late night bus service on Vail's outlying routes during the off-season. Due to the cancellation of meetings on May 5 and May 12, Councilmembers clarified possible call-up procedures that would be associated with the next PEC and DRB meetings.

Iy TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 27, 1998 Contact: Russell Forrest, 479-2146 Community Development Director TOV REVISES DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS BEGINNING MAY 1 (Vail)--Beginning May 1, the Town of Vail will refine its development review process with a two- tiered system that expedites projects that meet the town's review standards, while adding another two weeks to the process for projects that need more time for refinement. The changes apply to the town's review of new single family homes, duplexes and residential remodels, all of which require approvals by town staff and the citizen member Design Review Board (DRB), as well as building permit approval. The new improvements are meant to accommodate applicant needs and to reduce the number of conditions placed upon projects at the time of DRB consideration. Those conditions, in the past, have typically included Public Works approval, Fire Department approval or the need to submit-additional information, and have caused significant delays in the building permit process, said Russell Forrest, Community Development Department director. "What we found is that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to processing applications," Forrest said. "In our effort to streamline the process and provide efficiencies in our turnaround time, we discovered that some of our applicants had too liftle time to prepare between one step and the next." In response, the town will relax its timetable for the more difficult projects, while allowing the simpler applications to move forward on a"fast-track" timetable. The process provides a 59-day maximum turnaround from the time a project is submitted for review and the time a building permit is issued. (more) ~ow~ RECYCLED PAPER I Design Review Process Improvements/Add 1 Also included in the May 1 adjustments are creation of a mandatory preapplication meeting with town staff; rejection of incomplete applications; and encouragement of conceptual review by the Design Review Board early on in the process. The refinements, effective May 1, follow several significant steps taken over the past two years by the town to reduce the hassle in obtaining design approval. Those improvements have included: creation of a customer service counter; codification of development review standards; creation of additional efficiencies in the development review process; and clarification and improvement of the department's application forms. The efforts are intended to create a process that is both predictable and fair. The changes were enthusiastically endorsed by members of the Vail Town Council during an update on April 21. # # # f Day 29 - Monctay, _ ` . ~ ~b? f • APPlic.uu revises pLans .u?d ~ resubnuts to Project Manager ~ D.iy 31 - Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. 4 1 1 • Project Manager reviews revisions ~ or returns phms to st:?ff for Gnal p~~y 24 -e~InesdaV review at DRT. „ ,Tn,TOFVA • Staff returns conmnents to Project Manager u DRT.

The town-sponsored clean-up day has been an annual event since 1972 and has been enthusiastically endorsed by the Vail Tomorrow planning process as an action that builds upon Vail's community spirit. Individuals and representatives from clubs, organizations, neighborhoods and businesses are encouraged to become involved. Organizer Patrick Hamel, TOV's environmental specialist, says the event serves as a great way to meet members of the community while contributing to a worthwhile cause. "The reward is to see everyone channel their energy into a project with meaningful and immediate results," he said. "Not to mention the great party afterwards." This year's clean-up activities will get underway at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 16, with registration and breakfast at the Ford Park bus stop acea. Next, participants will be turned loose throughout 95 sections of town to pick up trash and other debris that accumulated during the winter. The Town of Vail will provide transportation, trash bags, drinks and other assistance throughout the morning. Volunteers will then reconvene at noon in Ford Park's lower bench for a barbeque donated by varioLas businesses throughout town. Charitable donations wil( again be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 250 people who register on the day of the event. The Town of Vail will donate $20 each to a local charity as designated by the volunteer. For safety reasons, volunteers must be at least 13 years old, and an adult supervisor is needed for every four teens ages 13 to 17. Please bring your own work gloves. (more) ~4"~ RECYCLED PAPER Clean-Up 98/Add 1 More than 400 locals have joined the effort in previous years, collecting more than 10 tons of trash and raising up to $8,000 for their favorite charities. To pre-register your group or to volunteer as a team leader, call Hamel in the Community Development Department at 479-2333. In case of rain or snow, the 1998 clean-up will be rescheduled to Sunday, May 17. Radio announcements will be used throughout the weekend to clarify the day's activities. Also during the clean-up weekend, three dumpsters will be placed throughout town to collect trash and other unwanted items from residents wishing to do their own spring clean-up. The dumpsters will be located at Ford Park, the East Vail exit parking lot, and at the construction staging site just west of Wendy's on North Frontage Road. All refuse witl be accepted with the exception of hazardous waste, appliances and tires. The annual clean-up has spawned a new ongoing neighborhood program introduced this year by the Town of Vail and the Vail Tomorrow Natural and Built Environment Team. The adoption program matches volunteers with sections of road, recreation paths, parks and other areas for regular clean-up patrols throughout the year. For more information on that program, contact Debbie Roeland in the Public Works Department at 479-2159. # # # t r RECEIVED APR 2 9 iggg 1CHILDCARE CLIPS Created by the Childcare Resource & Referral of Eagle & Garfield Counties - A program of The Resource Center of Eagle County May and June, 1998 Volume 2, Issue 3 "Peace on Earth Begins at Home " Early 13rain Develapmetnt J HAPPY MOTHFR'S DAY! .

The feed back that we received about last year's event was that it was very successful not only in terms of attendance but al5;o in terms of income genera.ted for the merchants on that da.y. ~ ; For those of you involved in helping out last year, you Irnow that it takes a terrific amount of coordination and labor to sponsor such a large event. For that reason, we are asking for more of a broad based pazticipation from all of the Village merchants. This event is sponsored with your best interest in mind in an attetnpt to create some excitement and enthusiasm in the Village while also generating revenues. We think that this is particulazly important this year in view of the extensive construction schedule and the ever increasing competition from down valley. Please keep in mind, though, that the same people cannot be called upon to do all of the work on project after project. Last yeaz we asked all of the merchants to provide one paid employee for four hours on the da.y of the event to work as volunteers for the committee. This might require helping to set up/tear down, take tickets, check IDs at the beer sta.tions, assist at the various activity centers etc. If you could please cai1328-8113 and leave the name of yoiir volunteer, we would appreciate it. In the event that you have no spare employees, we are asking you to donate $25.00 to the event so that we can hire additional help for that day_ It's very important that you all play some role inithe day's festivities whether it is by providing bodies or writing a check. All checks can be made out to the Family Fes,t and Chili Cook Off and mailed to the address above or dropped off at the Daily Grind Additionally, if any of you are interested in being part of the Chili Cook OfF and/or demonstration activities please call the same number and we will send you an entrance form. Last year we had fly fishing, kayaking, biking etc. in an attempt to showcase summer Vail and the activities available to the locals and our summer guests_ if you have an activity connected with your business that you feel would be of interest as a demo for our guests, please let us know. At tite same time, we are encouraging all merchants to participate in putting items on the street for sale or display in order to create a festive atrnosphere. We only ask that merchandise be tastefuily presented It's also exciting to note that our new GUIDE TO VAIL will be ready for distribution by Memorial Day and fhat will also help showcase our town and the businesses and services available. ' i We look forward to yaur coopera.rion on this event and are excited about sponsoring it again the year. With y:,our help we can look forward to an even more successful da.y than we had last year. ; Kaye Ferry, President and VVMA Board of Directors ~ . \ 1y TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 1998 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community Information Office Don't Delay... TOWN OF VAtL TO COLLECT COMMUNITY SURVEY RESPONSES THROUGH MAY 15 (Vail)--If you received a Town of Vail community survey last month, there's still time to make yourself heard, so long as you do so in the next two weeks. Survey tabulators will continue to accept the annual survey through Friday, May 15. Anything returned after the May 15 cutoff will be excluded from the final tabulation. To date, more than 1,000 households have returned the survey. Those findings are being used to help shape decisions in the Common Ground public involvement process initiated by the Vail Town Council. That process will ultimately identify a dedicated funding source for affordable housing, and determine how to use the remaining available lands within the town's boundaries. In addition to a series of questions related to the Common Ground process, the four-page community survey asks respondents to evaluate the delivery of municipal services, as well as additional community needs and priorities. The 11th annual survey was mailed in April to all households, property owners and businesses in Vail--about 11,000 in all. RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm, is tabulating the results and will make a presentation to the Vail Town Council at its June 16 evening meeting. For more information, or to request a sui-vey if you didn't already receive one, pfease call the Town of Vail Community Information Office at 479-2115. # # # .
