MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Councii
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: July 28, 1998
SUBJECT: An appeal of a Design Review Board decision denying the applicant's request for a
building separation in order to construct a detached garage with Employee Housing
. . Unit above, at 1694 Matterhorn Circle/Lot 12, Matterhorn Village.
Appellants: Harry Gray
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
1. SUBJECT PROPERTY
Gray Residence. Located at 1694 Matterhorn Circle/Lot 12, Matterhorn Village.
II. STANDING OF APPELLANT
The appellant has standing to file an appeal in this case as he is the owner of the subject property.
III. BACKGROUND
The appellant is proposing to remodel the existing structure located on this lot. The proposal
includes providing a detached, 2-car garage with an Employee Housing Unit above. The appellant
made application to the Design Review Board for consideration of a separation request as required
by the Zoning Regulations. The Design Review Board, on July 1, 1998, unanimously denied the
appellanYs request finding that the proposal did not meet the criteria in Section 12-11-5(I), Duplex
and Primary/Secondary Development, for a separation request and that there did not exist
significant site constraints on the property warranting a separation of structures on-site.
Section 12-11-5(I) states:
1. Duplex And Primary/Secondary Development:
1. The purpose of this Section is to ensure that duplex and primary/secondary development
be designed in a manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site
development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure,
except as set forth in subsection 12 of this Section, with the use of unified
architectural and landscape design. A single structure shall have common roofs and
building walls that create enclosed space substantially above grade. Unified architectural
and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building
materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, site grading
and landscape materials and features.
2. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of
units and garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site
1

*VAX
constraints shall be made by the Design Review Board. "Significant site constraints"
shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of mature trees, natural
drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock outcroppings,
wetlands, other natural features, and existing structures that may create practical
difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot. Slope may be considered a
physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage from a unit. tt shall be the
applicant's responsibility to request a determination from the Design Review Board as to
whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work on the project
is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal
based on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot (to include information as outlined in
. subsection 12-11-4C1 a of this Chapter) and a preliminary site plan of the proposed
structure(s). 3. The duplex and primary/secondary development may be designed to accommodate
the development of dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the
Design Review Board determines that significant site constraints exist on the lot. The
use of unified architectural and landscape design as outlined in subsection C1 of this
Section shalt be required for the development. In addition, the Design Review Board may
require that one or more of the following common design elements such as fences, walls,
patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, landscape elements, or other architectural
features be incorporated to create unified site development.
Also, note that a site coverage variance will be required for this development even if the DRB
decision is overturned.
The purpose behind this design standard is to insure that duplexes and primary/secondary
residences are integrated into a single structure and not perceived as 2 separate structures.
Allowing duplexes to be detached essentially changes the perceived lot sizes in a subdivision to
around 7,500 sq. ft. or less. This would change the character of neighborhoods from large
structures on large lots to small, independent structures, on much smaller lots. Areas would begin
to read as having more density.
IV. NATURE OF THE APPEAL
The appellant believes there are benefits that can be achieved with the proposal that autweigh the
restriction on the separation of dwelling units on a single lot. See appellanYs statements attached.
V. REQUIRED ACTION
Uphold/Overturn/Modify the Design Review Board's denial of the separation request.
The Town Council is required to make findings of fact in accordance with the Town of Vail
Municipal Code. The following finding is proposed:
The Town Council finds that Design Review Board's decision to deny the proposed
separation request was proper and in accordance with the provisions of Title 12, Zoning
Regulations and that no significant site constraints exist on this property warranting such a
separation. The standards and conditions of Title 12, have not been met.

RE: Gray Residence and EHU Design Review Board Denial, Lot 12, Matterhorn Village, 1694
Matterhorn Circle Dear Town of Vail Council Members and Planning Staff,
We are in the process of improving our primary / secondary lot in Matterhorn Village. We want
to improve the property by 1) building a restricted employee housing unit with it s own two car garage;
and 2) upgading the existing unit and adding a two car garage. Our design calls for separating the
employee housing unit/garage from the primary unit/garage. The Design Review Guidelines Sec. 12-11-
5(I) require that we obtain conceptual approval from the Design Review Board ("DRB") to allow for the
separation of the units. On July 1, 1998, the DRB denied our request to separate the two units. We are
appealing the DRB decision because we think our project meets the Town of Vail's employee housing
goals and design goals. The following points explain why this project should be approved.
1. )ustification for the Separation of the Primary and Restricted Employee Housing Unit.
The Design Review Guidelines allow for a separation of units if there are significant site
constraints such as mature trees, natural drainages or streams, rock outcroppings, wetlands, existin
structures that create a practical difficulty on the site, and slope. To allow for a separation, the applicant
must met at least one of the site constraints. We meet three of the significant site constraints.
- Mature Trees: If we connect the employee unit/garage to the existing unit, two 25 to 30 foot spruce
trees must be removed. Our design saves these large trees.
- Existing Structure: We are saving the original primary structure and removing two small shed additions
that were added to the residence at a later date. The setback requirements on the lot create a relatively
narrow building area. Please note that we are not requesting any setback variances. The location of the
existing structure allows for a secondary unit to be added on the east end of the property. This is exactly
where we propose to build the employee unit/garage. However, if we attach the employee unit/garage
to the existing structure we will impact the two large spruce trees discussed above.
- Slope: Slope can justify the separation of a garage from the main unit. By separating the employee
unit/garage from the main unit, we have minimized site disturbance and provided a driveway with a
slope of 6%. The 6% is well under the Town of Vail's standard of 8%. If the employee unit is attached
to the main unit, there will be more retaining walls, removal of the two spruce, and a steeper driveway
because the slope is greater in this area.
ARCH ITECTU RE SCU LPTU RE I NTE RIORS
835 INCA PARKWAY BOULDER, COLORADO 80303 303499-4252
II. Site Coverage Variance.
The project will require a site coverage variance for the employee housing unidand garage. The
PEC has approved variances for garages in the past. The variance is for approximately 270 sq. ft. We
will try to minimize this variance request as much as is feasible. The employee unit is Iocated above the
garage and does not contribute to any additional site coverage. Please note that the site coverage
variance would be necessary regardless of whether the employee housing unidgarage was attached or
separated from the main unit. At this time, the site coverage variance is not presented to the Town
Council for review because the PEC must first act on the request. ,
III. Explanation of Why the Upgrade Plan Meets the Design Review Guidelines. Our project meets the design guidelines for the following reasons:
- Decrease in Mass and Bulk of the Structure: Matterhorn is comprised of moderately sized alpine style
residences. By separating the units and creating smaller structure, the project is more compatible with
the scale of the neighborhood. If the units and garages are combined, a linear, more massive structure
results. This larger structure is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Our design supports
the DRB Guideline (p. 454d, A 1, 2) These Guidelines state that 1) structures shall be compatible with
existing structures, and their surroundings; 2) existing features should be preserved; and 3) the objective
is to fit building to their sites in a way that leaves natural land forms.
- Neighborhood Compatibility: The project will be very compatible with the surrounding neighborhood
because we are using proper scale, proportions, and materials and colors found in Matterhorn. The
design has an alpine character. We are using white stucco, natural wood siding stain , and brown trim.
IV. Community Benefits from the Project.
The project provides the following benefits to the Vail community:
- One Permanently Restricted Employee Housing Unit. The proposed employee unit is 700 sq.ft. and
has two bedrooms. It will also have a two car garage. The unit meets all of the Town of Vail
requirements.
- Removal of ail Parking Off of the Right-of Way. Currently, this project does not provide any on-site
parking. The redesign will provide two, two car garages. All required parking would be on site.
- Upgade of an Existing Unit. The upgraded existing unit will have a two car garage.
We ask that you approve the separation request based on all the justifications provided above.

The Northwest Colorado Council of GoveNnments
WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMMITTEE (QQ)
PURPOSE
The Water Quality and Quantity Committee (QQ) comprises towns & counties. In addition,
water and sanitation districts in the region participate in QQ activities. QQ's purpose is to enable
its members to protect and enhance the quality of our region's waters while facilitating the
responsible use of those resources for the good of all Colorado citizens and its environment.
QQ monitors water development activities and legislative initiatives that affect water quality or
quantity in the basin of origin. Regularly scheduled meetings of the QQ Committee operate as a
forum for policy formulation and strategy decision-making by QQ Committee members. The
QQ Committee staff provides members with monitoring of legislative activities, water quality
information, litigation and advocacy support, activity coordination, cooperative problem-solving
assistance, transmountain diversion oversight, and technical assistance to further
intergovernmental cooperation and increase political clout with state and federal agencies.
HISTORY
The QQ Committee was first established in 1978 as a cost savings measure designed to
coordinate legal activities regarding transmountain diversions for the headwater counties. In the
late 1970s and early 1980s, elected officials from headwater communities found it difficult, if not
impossible, to have a voice in state water issues that affected their communities.
Today, QQ has worked to turn litigation and challenges which characterized the 1980s into new
efforts promoting cooperative problem-solving approaches to water in the 1990s. The QQ
Committee also worked to protect water quality through improved land use practices and
changes in water policy on the West Slope.
Other QQ activities include the following:
• QQ staff assisted in the drafting of HB 1041 regulations for member counties and
successfully defended the validity of these regulations spanning 10 years.
• QQ defended Eagle County's denial of a 1041 permit for the Homestake II diversion
proj ect.
• QQ participated in Denver's system-wide EIS and the Two Forks permitting process.
• QQ represents member jurisdictions in the State's hearings on adopting the Anti-
degradation Rule, the State's 401 rulemaking process, and stream classification and
standards setting.
• NWCCOG and QQ pushed for a regional quality management plan linking water
quality and quantity which was later adopted by the Water Quality Control
Commission.
• QQ initiated and administered the Colorado River Headwaters Forum.
1
• QQ developed state of the art water quality performance standards for land
development activities. This project was the result of an outreach conducted by QQ
and NWCCOG to identify needs and issues of the headwater communities in the
water quality region. • QQ worked with the ski areas to gain their support for the Model Water Quality
Protection Standards.
• QQ has worked with and continues to work with the towns and counties to
incorporate the model water quality regulations into their respective land use codes.
• QQ conducted a rate study for all the water and sanitation districts in the QQ region.
• NWCCOG and QQ worked with DRCOG to impose a statewide ban on high
phosphate laundry detergents.
~ QQ participated in all 1997 Legislative Interim Committee meetings on Water to
influence 19981egislation.
• QQ has successfully worked to bloclc takings legislation that would impact protection
of water resources in the last four years.
• QQ successfully bloclced legislative attempts to gut 1041 authority.
CURRENT LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS
QQ opposes legislation that would hamper a local government's authority to protect water
resources within its jurisdiction. QQ actively seeks to protect HB 1041 powers and to ensure
that they are not weakened. Water quality protection and watershed management remain strong
priorities for QQ's members as these issues are directly tied to their recreation-based economies.
CURRENT QQ PROJECTS
QQ has several ongoing projects in 1998 that are listed below.
• QQ initiated the Upper Colorado River Basin Study and Collaborative Effort with
Summit, Grand Counties, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, Middle
Park Water Conservancy District, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District,
and Denver Water Department. The Study will examine hydrological conditions in
the basin and related growth impacts and try to develop a coordinated approach to
solving attendant problems.
• QQ will be working with legislators on the Water Resources Development Bill (HB "
98-1288) to ensure that Headwater Counties' concerns are addressed.
• QQ and NWCCOG staff will be tracking Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) issues
to determine how this emerging issue affects our members.
• QQ and NWCCOG staff will assist members comply with Phase II Stormwater
regulations.
• QQ will be working on a video addressing transbasin diversions and how they impact
the West Slope and the headwaters region. The video will be used primarily as an
educational tool for West Slope residents and Front Range Legislators.

VAIL VALLEY LOCAI. MARKETING DISTRICT
POSITION PAPER
Marketing the Vail Vallev as a Slack Season Tourism Destination
This is a first draft of a position paper supporting the creation of a Vail Valley Marketing District and the
approval of a lodging tax within that District to finance efforts to market the Valley as a tourism destination
in slack seasons.
Premise
Tourism is the principal source of economic activity in the Vail Valley from Vail Pass to Cordillera and
Wolcott. Visitor spending generates almost two-thirds of total Valley sales tax revenues in the six non-ski
months (May through October) and more than three-quarters of sales tax revenues during the ski season
(November through April). Two sectors - retail trade and services - provide 57 percent of the Valley's busi-
ness establishments and 75 percent of its jobs. About 70 percent of these retail trade and services jobs are in
establishments whose primary customers are visitors. Thus, at least half of all jobs in the Valley are directly
dependent on tourists. At least another quarter of all jobs are partly dependent on visitors because they
serve workers who serve tourists.
The Vail Valley tourism industry is highly seasonal. In spite of strong gains in non-ski months over the past
decade, 70 percent of annual sales tax revenues are still collected during the November through April time
frame. Further, a majority of ski season revenues are generated during the Christmas period and in March
while a majority of non-ski season revenues are generated in July and August. Lodging occupancy rates
now exceed 90 percent in winter peak seasons and approach 75 percent in peak summer months. They are
still less than 33 percent in May, October and November. This creates serious problems for local business
owners and for local workers who want to be permanent residents of the Valley. Businesses have fixed year
around expenses (rent, utilities, taxes, core staff salaries) but they must generate the bulk of their revenues
in less than half the year. They must hire and train new workers for peak seasons and then lay them off in
slack seasons. This hurts the quality of service offered to visitors. It also limits worker ability to qualify for
year around housing leases or financing to buy homes.
In other words, by reducing the seasonal peaks and troughs in Vail Valley tourism, we would:
¦ Increase the profitability of area businesses,
¦ Increase sales tax revenues for area governments,
¦ Provide stable, year around employment for many more permanent residents of the Valley, and
¦ Offer higher quality service to our visitors.
The Tourism Marketplace
This industry generates over $3.5 trillion in spending worldwide and employs more than 2 million persons.
In the United States, it produces $417 billion in sales and, with 14.3 million jobs, is the nation's second
largest employer behind healthcare. Further, it generates a trade surplus of more than $22 billion by at-
tracting large numbers of foreign visitors. In spite of these impressive numbers, the federal government has
abolished the United States Tourism and Travel Authority, leaving tourism promotion to states and local
communities. In Colorado, voters abolished the State Tourism Board in 1992. Although a new authority has
been created recently, the State budget for tourism promotion has been cut from more than $11 million to
less than $2 million a year. The task of luring visitors to Colorado now rest primarily on the shoulders of
local communities.
Since the demise of Colorado's statewide tourism sales tax in 1992, the State has slipped from the number
one visitor destination in the nation to number seventeen. One national market research firm recently esti-
mated that the State is now losing more than 2.7 million visitor nights per year and that our share of the
U.S. pleasure travel market has declined by 30 percent in just five years. Mountain communities capture
about 36 percent of tourism spending in Colorado. Thus, this region has lost about a million visitor nights
annually because of the demise of statewide tourism promotion. Many Mountain and Westem Slope com-
munities whose economies are heavily dependent on tourism have suffered serious declines in recent years.

ti
The Vail Valley Situation
In the late Eighties, the Towns of Vail and Avon, the Beaver Creek Resort Company, and Vail Associates
jointly supported the creation of the Vail Valley Marketing Board and charged it with promoting tourism in
the non-ski months from May through November of each year. This Board, composed of volunteers ap-
pointed by these four sponsoring organizations, has directed a marketing program for almost a decade. That
program, coupled with the efforts of the Valley's larger hotels, has enabled our Valley to increase visitor
spending in the non-ski months at an 11 percent average annual pace in the Nineties. During this same pe-
riod, Vail Valley visitor spending in the ski months has grown at less than a 5 percent annual rate and
statewide summer tourism has not grown at all.
In recent years, the Vail Valley Marketing Board has spent almost $1 million a year to promote tourism in
the non-ski months. The funding for this effort has come from a dedicated business license fee in the Town
of Vail (35%); annual general fund investments by the Town of Vail (20%), the Town of Avon (11%), and
the Town of Mintum (1%); and investments by the Beaver Creek Resort Company (20%) and Vail Resorts
(13%). The number of visitors coming here between May and October has grown significantly. Average
occupancy in the area's lodging places has increased from less than 33 percent in the mid Eighties to 51
percent in 1997. The gap in occupancy rate between ski and non-ski months has closed from 100 percent
(65% vs. 32.5%) in 1985 to 33 percent (68% vs. 51%) in 1997. We have made less progress in closing the
spending gap because hotel rates are lower in the summer. Last year, the average daily rate in the Novem-
ber to April timeframe was $248, more than twice the $110 average rate in the May to October period.
The good news is that we have:
¦ Attracted far more visitors to the Valley in the non-ski months, especially in July and August,
¦ Made some progress in reducing the seasonal nature of our tourism business, and
¦ Captured a much larger share of the State's summer tourism market.
The bad news is that:
¦ Ski season visitors still account for 70 percent of our Vail Valley tourism revenues, and
¦ The Colorado share of the total tourism market continues to shrink.
Our non-ski season visitors still come from a limited number of geographic markets. More than one in four
come from other parts of Colorado (28%). Another 28 percent come from five states - Texas (9%), Califor-
nia (6%), Illinois (6%), Florida (4%), and Michigan (3%). Just 5 percent of our summer visitors come from
other nations. Thus, we have only begun to reach out to the national and international market for non-ski
visitors. We have significant potential to attract more visitors, especially in the shoulder months when
lodging occupancy rates are now under 40 percent, and to create a level of demand that will permit the
lodging community to realize higher average daily rates. We have been fortunate to have a budget of al-
most a million dollars to promote non-ski season tourism while the statewide program has almost disap-
peared and most of Colorado's mountain communities have not been able to support summer tourism mar-
keting. Even so, our budget is small when compared to many of our national competitors for summer visi-
tors. Several cruise lines spend more than $25 miilion each. Hawaii, Florida, South Carolina, Virginia, Illi-
nois, New York, and many other state have budgets of more than $20 million a year. Disney makes these
budgets look small. Vail Resorts spends more than ten times as much to market Vail Valley resorts in the
ski season. Tapping into these larger market opportunities will take more resources than we now have
available.
The Proposed Solution
The Colorado Legislature has passed legislation enabling groups of municipalities to join with unincorpo-
rated areas of one or more counties in creating regional marketing districts to promote tourism and other
forms of economic development. This legislation authorizes the use of a lodging tax to finance these mar-
keting activities. We propose to create such a district in eastern Eagle County. This new district would re-
place the Vail Valley Marketing Board. It would have the following characteristics:
2
¦ Geo~raphic Area - the Towns of Vail, Avon, and Minturn plus unincorporated areas of Eagle County
from its eastern boundary at Vail Pass west to and including Cordillera and Wolcott.
¦ Board Composition - a twelve to fifteen person voluntary board appointed by the County Commission-
ers and nominated by towns and special districts within this area in proportion to the revenues col-
lected therefrom with a minimum of one representative from each town or district.
¦ Mission - promote increased tourism in slack months to produce a more stable market for area busi-
_ nesses and employees of firms serving visitors.
¦ Financing Mechanism - a 1.5 percent tax on all revenues from the rental of lodging units within the
district that would generate $2 to $2.5 million in revenues for the first program year, thereby doubling
the size of the cunent tourism marketing effort.
¦ Operatiniz Policies and Procedures - members of this Authority would be responsible for designing and
overseeing the execution of a tourism marketing program for the six non-ski months plus the first and
last months of the ski season when lodging occupancy drops below 50 percent - November (29%) and
April (46%). The Authority Board would be fiscally responsible to the Eagle County Govemment and
programmatically responsible to the organizations nominating persons for the Board. Board members
would not be compensated for their service. The Board would have no paid staff. It would contract
with other organizations and firms for services needed to plan and execute its programs. All of the
funds raised by the lodging tax would be spent on programs designed to bring visitors to the Valley.
¦ Eligible Activities - advertising, public relations, direct mail promotion, Internet marketing, participa-
tion in trade shows for group meeting planners, marketing missions, design and preparation of promo-
tional materials and literature, support for special events that bring visitors to the Valley, and market
research.
Talldng Points
¦ Unlike a sales tax, almost all of this lodging tax would be paid by visitors to the Valley, not by local
residents.
¦ Only one town (Avon) in the proposed District now imposes a lodging tax on occupants of temporary
lodging facilities. A special anangement would be negotiated with Avon so that its lodging tax would
not have to be increased by the fu111.5 percent. A portion of the existing tax would be assigned to the
Marketing District in exchange for the elimination of existing contributions to marketing and other
business association activities.
¦ The proposed lodging tax is supported by the majority of the Valley's lodging owners and managers
because the marketing program will increase their occupancy rates.
¦ The proposed lodging tax will not deter potential visitors from coming to the Valley. Even with this
new tax, the total sales and lodging tax paid by visitors will be more than 10 percent less than the na-
tional average total tax on hotel and other lodging guests.
¦ A strong year-around tourism program would give all permanent residents employed by businesses
serving visitors greater job security and more personal income. This would give more of our area resi-
dents the capacity to afford decent housing on either a rental or ownership basis.
Why Should I Vote To Create This New District and Approve This New Lodging Tax
¦ If I own or manage a business serving tourists, my revenues and profits will increase.
¦ If I own or manage a business serving local residents, my revenues and profits will also increase be-
cause workers will have more disposable income to spend.
¦ If I work for a local business establishment, I can expect more job stability and more annual income
that will give me the ability to enter into annual housing rental agreements or even to obtain bank fi-
nancing for the purchase of a housing unit.
¦ If I earn my living outside the Vail Valley or have retired here, this initiative will improve my year
around quality of life in the Valley by enabling restaurants, retail establishments, and other businesses
to provide improved year around service.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: July 28, 1998
RE: Multiple Family Dwelling Units - 250 Ordinance
This memo is intended to help frame this discussion of this item and in order to give staff
adequate direction as to Town Council's goals in this area.
1. COUNCIL GOALS
What are Council's goals for this project?
- Create opportunities and incentives consistent with those for single and two-family
dwelling units?
- Interior conversions
- Exterior 250's
- Provide incentives to assist in the upgrading and improvement of multiple-family
structures?
- Insure improvement/ redevelopment of multiple- family structures in a
comprehensive (building-wide) manner?
- Create a process and regulation that is simple to understand and administer?
2. REVIEW PROCESS FOR CREATING THIS REGULATION
How would Council like staff to proceed with this project?
- Draft alternatives for Council, DRB, and PEC review?
- Return to Council first with alternatives or directly to PEC/DRB?
- Is an independent public involvement process necessary or the standard public
hearing process?

TOWN
*VAIL
.
3. TIME FRAME
The time frame is contingent upon whether a public involvement process is required outside of
the hearings with the PEC and Council. A fairly straight forward change to the code similar to the
regulation for single-family homes could be done in 4- 5 weeks. A product which looks more
comprehensively at the regulation producing alternatives would involve more research and take
more time. In addition, Council will need to consider the priority of this policy change when
compared to the Common Ground process and Lionshead Master Plan development.
4. PURPOSE AND INTENT OF 250 ORDINANCE
Summarv:
? Provide inducement to upgrade older nonconforming homes and property
? Allow homes to be expanded to allow "locals" to remain in Vail
? Was done because many small GRFA variance requests were coming through the
Town, and the Council wanted to try to accommodate small additions for local
residents
Pur ose:
The purpose of this Section is to provide an inducement for the upgrading of existing
dwelling units which have been in existence within the Town for a period of at least five
(5) years by permitting the addition of up to two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross
residential floor area (GRFA) to such dwelling units, provided the criteria set forth in this
Section are met. This Section does not assure each single-family or two-family dwelling
unit located within the Town an additional two hundred fifty (250) square feet, and
proposals for any additions hereunder shall be reviewed closely with respect to site
planning, impact on adjacent properties, and applicable Town development standards.
The two hundred fifty (250) square feet of additional gross residential floor area may be
granted to existing single-family dwellings, existing two-family and existing multi-family
dwelling units only once, but may be requested and granted in more than one increment
of less than two hundred fifty (250) square feet. Upgrading of an existing dwelling unit
under this Section shall include additions thereto or renovations thereof, but a
demo/rebuild shall not be included as being eligible for additional gross residential floor
area.
5. CURRENT MULTIPLE-FAMILY 250 REGULATION
Summarv:
? Allows adding only 250 sq. ft. of GRFA in the interior of a structure on a per unit basis
? Does not allow exterior improvements (no dormers, no deck enclosures, etc.)
? Does not allow pooling of GRFA (i.e., one unit can use 250 from another unit)
? Applications approved by staff or DRB
? Eligible building must be at least 5 years old and constructed prior to Nov. 30, 1995
2
Current Regulation:
C. Multi-Family Dwellings: Any dwelling unit in a multi-family structure shall be eligible for
additional gross residential floor area (GRFA) not to exceed a maximum of two hundred
fifty (250) square feet of GRFA in addition to the existing or allowable GRFA for the site.
Any application of such additional GRFA must meet the following criteria:
1. Eligible Time Frame: A multiple-family dwelling unit shall be eligible for additional
GRFA, pursuant to this Section, if it is in existence prior to November 30, 1995, or
a completed Design Review Board application for the original construction of said
unit has been accepted by the Department of Community Development by
November 30, 1995. In addition, at least five (5) years must have passed from the
date the building was issued a certificate of occupancy (whether temporary or
final), or, in the event a certificate of occupancy was not required for use of the
building at the time of completion, from the date of original completion and
occupancy of the building.
2. Use Of Additional Floor Space: Proposals for the utilization of the additional
GRFA under this provision shall comply with all Town zoning requirements and
applicable development standards. If a variance is required for a proposal, it shall
be approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission pursuant to Chapter
17 of this Title before an application is made in accordance with this Section. The
applicant must obtain a building permit within one year of final Planning and
Environmental Commission approval or the approval for additional GRFA shall be
voided.
3. Parking Area Conversions: Portions of existing enclosed parking areas may be
converted to GRFA under this Section if there is no loss of existing enclosed
parking spaces in said enclosed parking area.
4. Parking Requirements Observed: Any increase in parking requirements due to
any GRFA addition pursuant to this Section shall be met by the applicant.
5. Guideline Compliance; Review: All proposals under this Section shall be
reviewed for compliance with the design review guidelines as set forth in Chapter
11 of this Title. Existing properties for which additional GRFA is proposed shall be
required to meet minimum Town landscaping standards as set forth in Chapter 11
of this Title. General maintenance and upkeep of existing buildings and sites,
including the multi-family dwellings, landscaping or site improvements (i.e., trash
facilities, berming to screen surface parking, etc.) shall be reviewed by the staff
after the application is made for conformance to said design review guidelines.
This review shall take place at the time of the first application for additional GRFA
in any multi-family dwelling. This review shall not be required for any subsequent
application for a period of five (5) years from the date of the initial application and
review, but shall be required for the first application filed after each subsequent
five (5) year anniversary date of the initial review. No temporary certificate of
occupancy shall be issued for any expansion of GRFA pursuant to this Section
until all required improvements to the multi-family dwelling site and building have
been completed as required.
3
6. Condominium Association Approval: If the proposed addition of GRFA is for a
dwelling unit located in a condominium project, a letter approving such addition
from the condominium association shall be required at the time the application is
submitted.
7. Deck And Balcony Enclosures: No deck or balcony enclosures, or any exterior
additions or alterations to multi-family dwellings with the exception of windows,
skylights, or other similar modifications shall be allowed under this Section.
8. Applicability: The provisions of this Section are appficable only to GRFA
additions to individual dwelling units. No pooling of GRFA shall be allowed in
multi-family dwellings. No application for additional GRFA shall request more than
two hundred fifty (250) square feet of gross residential floor area per dwelling unit
nor shall any application be made for additional GRFA until such time as all the
allowable GRFA has been constructed on the property.
9. Nontransferable To Demo/Rebuild: Any building which has previously been
granted additional GRFA pursuant to this Section and is demo/rebuild, shall be
rebuilt without the additional GRFA as previously approved.
10. Demo/Rebuild Not Eligible: Any multiple-family structure or dwelling unit which is
to be demo/rebuild shall not be eligible for additional GRFA.
6. CURRENT SINGLE/TWO-FAMILY 250 REGULATION
Summarv•
? Allows adding 250 sq. ft. of GRFA to the exterior of structures
? Does not allow pooling of GRFA (i.e., one unit can use 250 from another unit)
? Applications approved by the PEC
? Interior conversion ordinance allows unlimited GRFA within existing structure
? Eligible building must be at least 5 years old and constructed prior to Nov. 30,
1995

urrent Requlation:
B. Single-Family Dwellings And Two-Family Dweliings: A single-family or two-family
dwelling unit shall be eligible for additional gross residential floor area (GRFA) not to exceed a
maximum of two hundred fifty (250) square feet of GRFA in addition to the existing or allowable
GRFA for the site. Before such additional GRFA can be granted, the single-family or two-family
dwelling unit shall meet the following criteria:
1. Eligible Time Frame: A single-family or two-family dwelling unit shall be eligible
for additional GRFA, pursuant to this Section, if it is in existence prior to
November 30, 1995, or a completed Design Review Board application for the
original construction of said unit has been accepted by the Department of
Community Development by November 30, 1995. In addition, at least five (5)
years must have passed from the date the single-family dwelling or two-family
dwelling unit was issued a certificate of occupancy (whether temporary or final) or,
in the event a certificate of occupancy was not required for use of the dwelling at

MEMORANDUM -
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney,.
DATE: July 23, 1998
RE: July, 1998 Annual Evaluation
For the purpose of your evaluation, I am listing the goals that I believe have been achieved over the
past year and identification of goals to be achieved in the coming year. It is my intention that these
achievements and future goals correspond to Council's objectives.
GOALS ACHIEVED IN LAST CALENDAR YEAR:
1. Settlement/Resolution of Pending or Threatened Liti a~ t~.
1. Bossow, et al. vs. Town of Vail
This case has been dismissed. It involved the rockfall berm in Booth Creek.
2. Flannerv vs Byrne and Town of Vail
The Eagle County District Court ruled in the Town's favor on the Rule 106 claim
which constitutes a review of the Town's certified record. The Court ruled that the
actions by Town Council were appropriate and not arbitrary, capricious, or beyond
its authority. The Court has dismissed this case in its entirety.
3. Wells and Saltz vs. Lod e Properties Inc and Town of Vail
The Eagle County District Court dismissed the majority of this claim on a motion for
sumruary judgment and at a trial on the only remaining issue of the applicability of
Ordinance No. 4, 1993 ruled in favor of the Town and Lodge Property, Inc.
Therefore this matter has been dismissed in the District Courts and no other issue
remains pending in that Court at this time. This case was argued before the Court
of Appeals on June 20, 1998, and we await the Court of Appeal's ruling. The Town
has been represented by the Town Attorney in this matter. There is little likelihood
of any monetary damages being ordered in this case.
L~ RECYCLEDPAPER
i
4. Garv L. Murrain v. Town of Vail
This litigation was brought against the Town by a terminated employee. The
employee was terminated for insubordination for failing to accept a change in his job
duties which change was consistent with the department reorganization in
Community Development. The matter was tried to a jury in the Eagle Cou'aty
District Court. The jury ruled in favor of the Town of Vail and the claim was
dismissed. The plaintiff has filed a motion with the Court for reconsideration,
notwithstanding the jury's verdict.* ,
5. Steven Rodriguez v. Town of Vail
This litigation was brought against the Town by a terminated employee. The
employee was terminated for inappropriate conduct or behavior with a passenger on
the Town of Vail bus that he was driving. This matter was tried to a jury in the Eagle
County District Court. The jury ruled in favor of the Town of Vail and the claim has
been dismissed.*
II. Pending Liti ation
1. Bell and Cunningham vs. Town of Vail
This matter did not proceed to trial as scheduled in July, 1995. It was continued due
to scheduling conflicts. There has been no activity on this matter since that time.
This claim is fully covered by the Town's public liability insurance policy and is
being defended by insurance counsel. There is no likelihood of any liability for the
Town in excess of its insurance coverage. *

2. Commercial ski storage.
3. Amendment of Gross Residential Floor Area provision and interior conversions.

documentation, arranging meetings, attending depositions and providing information and guidance
to Town Staff.

ON ITEMS NOT ON
AGENDA Tim Sharkie, Special Agent with the FBI addressed the Board members
regarding the revoking of golf privileges for the 20 or so families assigned
to the President Ford detail. Ross explained the Tabor Amendment and
how it restricts what benefits are offered and the need for equal return on
benefits. What the Board is able to do is to extend the pimch cards and
youth passes. The Board directed staff to work towards a trade out with
agents speaking at Camp Vail and other programs and after this year
requiring agents to live with in the VRD's boundaries in order to receive
this benefit.
DOBSON EXPANSION Ottis O'Dell updated the Board on the progress of the verification phase of
the expansion of the East end of Dobson. He should have preliminary
sketches at the July meeting with construction starting in the fall.
DOBSON FINANCING The options for the expansion is to have a mill levy increase and have an
election in November, or to have an interim revenue bond and wait until
n the 2000 election to increase the mill levy. Whichever option is taken,
knowing the actual cost per $100,000 of property value is critical before
attempting to go to a vote.

Dear Mr. Rapp:
The Town of Vail would very much like to participate as a client in your EPICS program. As you are aware,
one of the critical issues we are confronting is the congestion on I-70 that occurs on weekdays, weekends and
holidays. The concept of rapid transit in the I-70 corridor has been discussed with the Vail Town Council. The
Council, as stated, is interested in supporting the concept and has done nominally to this date. However, we
would like the EPICS program to assist us in the further development of issues.
Specifically, the Town of Vail desires to know how a rapid transit system might best assist in moving traffic
along the I-70 corridor from East Vail to Dowd Junction. Some considerations would be:
Available technology
Grade
Drainage
Existing historical conditions
Property rights
Hazards ,
CDOT planning status
Social and economic impacts
Civil and environmental issues
The Town of Vail would appreciate recommendations as to where, when and how we as a town could have the
best impact in the rapid transit system decision making process. We look forward to working with the EPICS
program on this timely topic. Larry Grafel, Public Works Directar and Greg Hall, Town Engineer, will be your
primary contact individuals. Both of these gentlemen can be reached at (970) 479-2158.

Dear Council Members:
As property owners in the Town of Vail, we are in strong support of the Town's efforts in
connection with the Vail Tomorrow initiative with the goal of enhancing the overall
quality of our town and promoting Vail's desired image of a world class community.
In the spirit of supporting the Town's goals, we commend and support the Council's
recognition of the need to regulate the parking of recreational vehicles (RV's) within the
Town limits. We believe RV's, when parked for long periods or permanently, detract
from the image of the Town and negatively affect property values and enjoyment of our
mountain environment.
. We support a new regulation which would limit the parking/storage of RV's of more than
20 feet in length. We believe these large vehicles should be allowed to park within the
Town of Vail, for example, for no more than three (3) consecutive days in any 30-day
ep riod. The 20-foot limit should include not only the RV itself but also any towing or
towed vehicle. We believe a flexible regulation such as this would be a reasonable
accommodation for RV owners.
We appreciate the Town Council's consideration of this matter and the importance that a
favorable action on the part of the Town Council will have on the future of our Town.
Sincerely,

--Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
During a luncheon meeting, Councilmembers reviewed the status of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan and offered comments on proposed building height parameters and
other design standards that will be incorporated in the draft plan. After sharing individual
comments, the majority of the Council agreed ro:
• establish a maximum building height of 82.5 ft. (rather ihan establish the total numbers of
floors allowed)
• consider two scenarios, such as a 60-40 ratia or a 30-30-40 ratio that would create
flexibility for varying roof lines with an overall average height requirement
• create guidslines that specify buiki-to lines and specific building step-back parameters as
the building goes vertical
• eliminate an earlier propasal that would have allowed a"bonus heighY' based on the
number of •hotel-units, fractiorial fee units and emplayee housing units provided; instead,
the counci; expressed interest in continuing ta pursue concepts that would encourage the
addition of liotel units and fractiorial fee units, while discouraging condominium units
• retain a GrGSS Residential Floor Area (GRrA) regulation or some other mechanism to
control square footage
• consider two zone districts: 1) the core area from the bus stop on the east to Concert Hall
Plaza on the west and from the LifthousE Condos on the north to Lion Square Lodge on
the south; and 2) the perimeter of Lionsnead. Ccuncilmembers agreed to consider
allowing increased height and density in the perimeter to increase opportunities for
employee housing units. .
• create design review standards that allow for architectural flexibility, yet compatibility with
the overall vision for Lionshead's redevelopment
• once the master plan is complete, allow projects that are consistent with the goals of the
master plan to go through the regular design review process with final approvals resting
with the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board unless
those actions are called-up by the Town Council
In wrapping up the Lionshead discussion yesterday, Councilmembers asked for more specifics
on proposed design standards and guidelines. That information will be prepared and presented
at the July 21 work session. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community
Development Department at 479-2148.

TOV Council High{ightsi7-14-98/Add 1
--PEC Report
During a review of Monday's Planning and Environmental Commission meeting,
Councilmembers reviewed a request by La Tour restaurant for a major exterior alteration and a
conditional use permit to allow for an outdoor dining deck at the Village Center Building, 122
East Meadow Drive. The PEC approved the request with 7 conditions, one of which requires the.
applicant to pay $48,896 into the Town of Vail parking fund. Councilmember Sybill Navas
expressed concern about the requirement, noting a decision by Council several years ago to
direct staff to modify the ordinance to remove vehicular accessible sites from the parking pay-in-
lieu requirement. That modification has yet to be enacted.
--Mountain Haus
The Council voted 7-0 to allow Trevor Bradway, owner of unit 101 at the Mountain Haus in Vail
Village, to proceed through the public review process to construct a new entry into the west end
of the building that will encroach on town land in Slifer Plaza. The Council's approvaf yesterday
enables Bradway to apply for a setback and site coverage variance to be reviewed by the
Planning and Environmental Commission. For more information, contact George Ruther in the
Community Development Department at 479-2145.
--Common Ground Next Steps
After hearing an overview on proposed next steps in the Common Ground process from Andy
Knudtsen, project manager, the Council postponed a decision on those next steps and instead
asked to slow the process down. The staff recommendation included a proposal to develop
density parameters and other architectural characteristics for the first four housing and two park
sites identified in phase-one of the three-phase plan. A series of bus tours, community meetings
and open houses were proposed during the month of August, followed by Council approval of
development parameters in September, selection of development teams in October, conceptual
design in November, development reviews in January and February with ground breaking to
occur next April. But Councilmembers yesterday said they were uncomfortable moving forward
at that pace, noting the need to take more time to talk with community members. Councilman
Michael Jewett expressed concern that individual property owners had not received official
notification from the town about the Common Ground process, as well as the sites that have
been targeted for affordable housing. Jewett, as he has in the past, advocated taking the
Common Ground siting and funding package to a public vote. Jewett acknowledged yesterday
that other Councilmembers did not appear interested in his proposal to create a voter-approved
process to change the Town Charter. Mayor Rob Ford suggested spending more time to review
and outline next steps in the Common Ground process, noting that he hadn't had time to focus
on the proposal. Councilmember Sybill Navas suggested moving forward on one or two
projects, such as a proposal in phase two to redevelop Timber Ridge, while continuing to assess
if the program is achieving its goals. Councilman Ludwig Kurz agreed, saying the
implementation steps need to be studied carefully. Councilman Kevin Foley said he had
concerns about the sites and uses that were approved by Council on June 30. Foley said
although the Council wants to move ahead with affordable housing, it wants to make sure
citizens are comfortable with the direction. Although he's comfortable with the sites and uses
selected, Councilman Michael Arnett said the town should get the ball rolling, but not all at once.
Councilman Bob Armour said the proposed process, which includes a series of visits with ihe
neighborhoods, is a good outline once Council is ready to proceed. For more information,
contact Knudtsen at 479-2440.

--Vail Village Core Construction Update
During an update on the TOV projects in Vail ViNage, Larry Pardee, the town's construction
inspector--who's received numerous accolades for his involvement in mitigating impacts--said
the credit should be spread to other individuals and departments throughout the town for the
successful coordination. Also yesterday, Pardee provided a status report on the snowmelt
project at the Transportation Center, as well as the Slifer Plaza renovation and Seibert Circle
construction. He said artist Jesus Moroles will arrive in Vail next Monday to begin installation of
the granite slabs at Seibert Circle. Construction hours may need to be extended Friday and
Saturday this week, he said, to accommodate the installation by Moroles. During a related
' discussion initiated by Councilmember Sybill Navas, the Council expressed interest in
supporting a thank you party for the merchants to be held during the tall when most projects
have been completed rather than an earlier celebration advocated by the Art In Public Places
Board. Also noted yesterday was the difficulty in accessing the Base Mountain Sports
construction site and its impacts on surrounding merchants along Wall Street.
Councilmembers yesterday authorized up to $50,000 to install snow melt tubing to connect the
central Transportation Center stairs across East Meadow Dr. to Slifer Plaza. This will not be
hooked up to the boiler untit a complete streetscape snowmelt system is installed.
--Ford Park Managed Parking Update
Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, said July would continue to be a busy month
for managed parking at Ford Park. He said the program continues to be well coordinated by the
user groups and public acceptance and awareness appears to be growing. Councilman Kevin
Foley shared a list of concerns offered by several constituents, including questions about how
decisions are made to chain off the east lot several hours prior to implementation of paid
parking. In response, Grafel said the policy was developed by the user groups as outlined in the
Ford Park management plan. Councilman Michael Jewett said he wanted to state for the record
that he objected to chaining the east lot.
--Council Reports
As a follow up to a Vail Recreation District meeting held earlier in the day, Kevin Foley thanked
John Gulick, assistant fire chief, for his on-the-spot traffic control assistance during the Fred and
- Judy Alexander youth golf event, which attracted 380 participants. Foley also said VRD will ask
the town to consider adding space for a gymnastic facility at Dobson Arena as part of a locker
room expansion project.
Ludwig Kurz said he attended a meeting of the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek
Fifth). Kurz said Vail Town Attorney Tom Moorhead had been instructed to draft a letter on
behalf of the town expressing cooperation in the joint planning of the Miller Ranch site and Berry
Creek Fifth site, so long as significant density of affordable housing units are included in the
plan.
Sybill Navas, who represents the Council on the Art In Public Places Board, said the AIPP has
hired someone to draft a master plan that will be presented to the Council this fall. The plan will
include recommended locations for public art, as well as a public art philosophy.
Bob Armour attended a meeting of the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships Organizing
Committee. He said organizers have arranged for a countdown to appear in the newspaper to
, remind the community the event is just around the corner.
--Other
Kevin Foley inquired about recent enforcement efforts by the Vail Police Department regarding

the presence of dogs in restaurants (this is prohibited by state health codes). Town Manager
Bob McLaurin agreed to follow up. Foley also noted the need for folding chairs to be made
available when public meetings reach standing-room-only capacity, such as the June 30
Common Ground meeting. in addition, Foley asked the town to work with the Colorado
Department of Transportation in sweeping the Vail Pass bike path in preparation for more than
2,700 touring bicyclists this weekend. Both Foley and Mayor Rob Ford said the build-up of sand
and dirt on the path made some stretches impassable and dangerous.
Michael Jewett inquired about street improvement projects in East Vail, noise mitigation ori I-70
and the status of guardrail installation on South Frontage Rd. by the Ruins. In addition, Jewett
suggested the need for additional publication and distribution of Council luncheon meeting -notices.
Sybill Navas asked if the town could put pressure on the Colorado Department of Transportation
to establish a maximum time limit on I-70 construction delays between Avon and Vail. She said
the long delays are unacceptable, given that the stretch through Dowd Junction is the only
access in and out of Vail from the west. Michael Arnett suggested the need to create awareness
that motorists stuck in traffic should turn their air conditioners off so as not to overheat their cars.
Also, Ludwig Kurz suggested additional communication between the flaggers and the motorists
to let them know what's going on.
Also yesterday, Navas expressed concern about a photography display by a gallery in Vail
Village that appeared to be impeding in the town's right of way. As a postscript to the discussion on Lionshead redevelopment, Bob Armour suggested taking a
look at the changes that are occurring downvalley and the need to focus on increased economic
vitality within Vail.
Kevin Foley noted that a memorial service for Lydon Ellefson would be scheduled for Sunday
with more details to follow.

TOV Senior Housing Policy Planr!er GROUND BREAKING FOR RED SANDSTOiVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
SET FOR JULY 28 TO RECOGNIZE TOV, EAGLE RIVER WATER
AND SANiTATION DISTRtCT PARTMERSHIP
(Vail)--Ground will be broken on the 18-unit Red Sandstone Creek deve!opment next Tuesday
(7-28), representing Vail's third affordable housing deveiopment in as many years. The effort
also caps nearly two years of joint planning by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and
the Town of Vail. Representatives from the two agencies plus members of the public are invited
to a brief grouiid breaking ceremony beginning a± 11:30 a.m. Tuesday to celebrate final approval
of the project.
The for-sale development will feature two one-bedroom, 12 two-bedroom and four three-
bedroom deed-restricted units with attached one-car garages. Prices will range from $105,000
for a one-bedroom unit, $138,500 for a two-bedroom and $178,500 for a three-bedroom home.
The development includes two ground floor units that meet all accessibility standards. With the
inclusion of these units, the project exceeds accessibility cndes required by the American
Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (rHA).
The 1.6-acre parcel is owned jointly by the water district and the Town of Vail. The Town
recently obtained ownership of its portion following completion of the Land Ownership
Adjustment Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. The partnership began in 1996 at the
invitation of the water district, which was seeking to construct housing for its employees.
A lottery to allocate the units will be held in the fall af this year with critical Town of Vail
employees, such as police officers, firefighters, dispatchers anci snowplow drivers, plus Eagle

River Water and Sanitation District employees, in the top tier for the units.
The balance of the units, estimated to be around a half-dozen units, will be made available to
the community. Lottery criteria will be set by the Town Council in August and lottery applications
will be made available in September; due back to the Town in October, with the lottery to be held
. in early November. Construction is to be completed in May 1999.
Vail Mayor Rob Ford said the Red Sandstone development represents the many difficulties in
creating affordable housing in Vail. Those difficulties have ranged from neighborhood
opposition to creating a quality, yet affordable design. "Both parties really had to persevere to
get this project off the drawing board," Ford said. "I couldn't be more proud of the final product
and the opportunity we now have to fifl these homes with people who are critical to the success
of our community."
After several design snags, Tom Stevens of the Aspen-based Stephens Group was hired by
the Town in March to redesign the project, which received its final approval from the Design
Review Board on July 15.
Rick Sackbauer, chairman of the water district, said he hopes the project is the first of many
joint venture opportunities. "Our employees need to live close to where they work," he said.
"The residents of the Town of Vail need to be assured that we can provide 24-hour a day
response east of Dowd Junction to emergency situations. The Red Sandstone development will
accomplish this."
The Red Sandstone development marks the Town of Vail's third deed-restricted housing
initiative within the last three years. The 71-unit Vail Commons development was completed in
1997 followed by completion earlier this year of the 24-unit seasonal housing project at the
Public Works shop area. In all, Vail has 399 deed-restricted affordable housing units within its
boundaries, mostly in private ownership. The deed restrictions require that occupants be local
residents employed within Eagle County.

Red Sandstone/Add 2
Also in the planning stages is the town's redevelopment of a primary/secondary lot at 2657
Arosa Drive near the foot of the North Trail. A four-bedroom A-frame dwelling is currently
located on the town-owned site and is being used for seasonal housing. The town intends to
_ replace the A-frame with a duplex and potentially a caretaker unit that woul.d be built within
existing zoning standards. The town would then either retain ownership of the three dwelling
units and lease them, or it could sell the units.

Also yesterday, Councilmembers asked that members of the business community join in the
upcoming discussions to provide partnership guidance. In addition, Councilmembers agreed
that every attempt will be made to send a message to the community that Common Ground is an
evolving project in that sites targeted for housing on June 30 may be altered in the future if
circumstances change or new opportunities present themselves. However, Councilman Ludwig
Kurz said it wouldn't be appropriate to arbitrarily remove sites now following the difficult decision
of June 30. Other comments during the discussion included: Councilman Michaei Jewett, who
continued to advocate putting ihe plan up for a public vote in addition to expressing concerns,
about getting accurate audio recordings during the informal work session format; Councilman
Ludwig Kurz who asked that market research be shared regarding the types of housing products .
tenants want; Councilmember Sybill Navas who expressed concerns about using any open
space parcels during the first stage of implementation and instead strongly advocated putting
the town's resources into the Timber Ridge project; Councilman Kevin Foley who said he
preferred to use town-owned land, such as Lionshead, before using open space or private iand
for the first development; Diana Donovan who asked that next steps include more formal
dialogue opportunities in the Council Chambers; Jeff Gorsuch who reminded the council that
many residents oppose the plan; and Paul Rondeau who suggested the town create emergency
funding to hire an employee to monitor private sector compliance with deed-restrictions that
have been placed on 399 units throughout town. Next steps include circulating the draft plan for
Common Ground's next phase, inviting public comment, followed by approval of the next steps
by Town Council scheduled for the evening meeting of Aug. 18. For more information, contact
Andy Knudtsen in Community Development at 479-2440.
--Budget Workshop
During an overview of the planning process for the 1999-2000 biennial budget, Town Manager
Bob McLaurin highlighted a list of overriding issues to be addressed. The most fundamental
issue of all, he said, is the trend in flattening revenues and growing expenses. Although not a
crisis, the situation cauld worsen in the next five to six years, McLaurin said, unless the probiem
is addressed through options such as: 1) creating additional revenues; 2) continuing to drive
operating costs down; 3) reallocating the Real Estate Transfer Tax; 4) reducing services; or 5)
adding new retail opportunities in Lionshead as part of the master planning process. That
prompted a reaction from Ludwig Kurz along with most other councilmembers who said cutting
services was not an option given Vail's status as a service-based resort. Instead, Kurz
advocated looking aggressively at new revenue sources, including a discussion of how the town
might capitalize on the new activities on Vail Mountain (the town does not collect sales tax on the
mountain), as well as moving forward with redevelopment in Lionshead. Councilman Michael
Arnett agreed with Kurz and took it one step further by advocating placement of a$1 million cap
on use of the Real Estate Transfer Tax funds for parks, maintenance and open space, with the
remainder going to supplement the town's general fund. Councitman Kevin Foley advocated
making the parking structures more inviting with new paint, improved lighting and better signage.
Foley also suggested additional contributions from Vail Associates to offset transportation and
parking strains that will be caused by Category III. Councilmember Sybill Navas said the town
needs to better understand why skier numbers were down last season in Vail. She said the
town needs to do what it can to make the villages and parking structures more friendly and
inviting. Mayor Rob Ford agreed that cutting services is not the direction the council wants to go.
He predicted the need for joint ventures between the town and other partners, such as the
business community, to help address the increased service demands. Also yesterday,
councilmembers agreed to a recommendation by McLaurin to budget a 4% annual increase in
sales tax and to use a strategic planning model that would balance the budget at the end of a
five year period. Also, the council discussed moving forward with restructuring the town's debt.
This would free up $6.8 million between 2000 and 2005. McLaurin said the restructuring would
level the town's debt service payments to 2012. Councilman Kevin Foley asked if the
(more)

.
Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/7-21-98
restructuring would load up a future council with debt. Although clearly a philosophical decision,
McLaurin said the refinancing tool would be, in his judgment, an appropriate step, given the drop
in interest rates. Fire service is another topic that will receive attention this year. McLaurin has
proposed relocating the Main Vail fire station to just north of the Main Vail roundabouts to
improve fire service to West Vail. The new, two-company fire station would then supply enough
equipment and staffing to provide coverage for both Main Vail and West Vail. The East Vail fire
station would remain unchanged. McLaurin suggested designing the station in the year 2000
. and constructing it in 2001. Meanwhile, the roof of the Main Vail station wiJl need repairs during
the interim, he said. Although a new two-company station would give the department an edge,
Fire Chief Dick Duran predicted the eventual need for a station in West Vail at some point in the
future. Councilmembers asked to begin scheduling additional discussions about the various '
options for equitable fire service in West Vail. Upcoming budget discussions also will address
the parking program, animal control and distribution of the Vail business license fee, among
others. Also yesterday, the Council voted 5-2 (Foley and Jewett against) to discuss the town's
pay philosophy in executive session, which occurred at the end of the meeting. For more
information, contact McLaurin at 479-2105.
Vail Valley Exchange/Sister Cities International Request
The Council voted 7-0 to authorize up to $3,800 in Council contingency funds to send
Community Development Director Russell Forrest to Mt. Buller, Australia as part of the local
sister cities delegation. Forrest and Councilmember Sybil! Navas will represent the Town of Vail
during the trip.
--Village Core Construction Update
Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel presented the following update: installation of
the granite artwork is underway this week at Seibert Circle; Slifer Plaza renovation is making
good progress; and at the Transportation Center, the area around the Visitors Center will reopen
by Friday this week with work underway at the east and west end walkways. For more
information, contact Grafel at 479-2173.
--Ford Park Managed Parking Update
Also yesterday, Grafel presented an update on managed parking at Ford Park. Following a
, meeting last week with the Ford Park users group, Grafel said a decision was made to allow the
lots to remain open for free parking during the morning hours for greater flexibility. Prior to the
decision, the lots were being chained off earlier during the peak day to help clear them of
vehicles.
--Council Reports
Michael Arnett attended a meeting of the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team. He said the
group is working to dispel misperceptions about Common Ground.
Sybill Navas participated in the interview process for a new director of the Northwest Colorado
Council of Governments. She aiso said a presentation by the Water Quality/Quantity would be
arranged soon in which the group will ask for an increase in its membership fees from Vail.
Ludwig Kurz said the Channel 5 board held a retreat recently and has ptedged to seek additional
corporate sponsorships. He said a presentation to the Town Council would be scheduled soon.
Kevin Foley said the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority has been informed that
Beaver Creek Resort and the Town of Avon have withdrawn their voluntary contributions to the
authority due to healthy sales tax collections. The Town of Vail will send a letter asking for a
rebate of its contribution. Also yesterday, Foley questioned why the authority was subsidizing

skier services by funding buses to run continuously to Beaver Creek when other routes simply
provide a connection from one community to the next. On another matter, Foley reported on a
meeting between representatives from the Police Department and some of the bar managers.
Foley said the managers are concerned that Vail is beginning to take on a image where people
aren't welcome anymore. He said a balance needs to be maintained. Also, Foley said the
memorial service for Lyndon Ellefson was well-attended, making the best of a bad situation.
--Other
Kevin Foley thanked those who were responsible for sweeping the Vail Pass bike path last
Friday Qust in time for 2 bike tours that were passing through). Poley also expressed concerns •
about the status of ongoing construction at the Vail Pass rest area, inquired about the status of -restoring Stevens Park in Intermountain following the recent fire (playground equipment is
ordered and will be installed in August); and inquired about the status of office space for the
Town Council (it's ready to go). Foley also expressed frustration that the town was not
benefitting financially from the large crowds which have been gathering at Eagle's Nest on Vail
Mountain.
Ludwig Kurz suggested dressing up the entry in front of the Vail Village parking structure.
Sybill Navas asked staff to be more sensitive in scheduling topics of community interest during
the lunch hour.
Michael Arnett suggested ways to improve the aesthetics of the variable message signs currently in use. He suggested constructing a stone planter with a stone wrap to help hide the
orange frame. Arnett also presented a written letter to Councilmembers regarding his ideas to
create an ordinance that would allow interior and exterior conversions of multi-family properties.
Councilmembers received a report from Potice Chief Greg Morrison regarding a request for
controlling the displays of outdoor goods in Lionshead. Morrison said a work group has been
created to go site-by-site to measure the property lines of each business to determine where
such displays can go, since they must be located on private property.
Evening Session Briefs
Councilmembers present: Armour, Arnett, Ford, Foley, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
Joe Staufer appeared before the Council to offer his continued support for the Common Ground
housing initiative, although he said the Council would likely need to make peace with the
neighborhoods by scaling back some of the masses and numbers. Staufer said the community
should consider raising the one percent Real Estate Transfer Tax by a half percentage point to
pay for the plan. He also suggested the involvement of major developers.
--Art in Public Places Presentation by Professor Erika Doss
The Council heard a presentation by noted author Erika Doss entitled "More Than Memorials,
Beyond Beautification: Why Public Art Matters." While often controversial, Doss described the
importance of contemporary public art in the development of community identity and civic
participation. She told how a public art project at Cincinnati's gateway is now a classic example
of how projects can come to symbolize a city's spirit and identity. In the case of Cincinnati, a
f{ying pig motif, representing the city's roots in the slaughter house industry, drew criticism, yet
galvanized the community and instilled pride and ownership in the project. Doss is a professor
in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Colorado. Her presentation was sponsored by
the town's Art In Public Places Program.

--1997 Audit Report
The Council voted 7-0 to accept the 1997 audit report presented by Jerry McMahan of McMahan
and Associates. McMahan said the audit gave the town a"clean opinion," the highest rating
possibte.
--Rezoning of a Portion of Land on Rockledge Rd. to Reflect Land Ownership Adjustment
Agreement
The Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance that applies zoning to a portion of
land on Rockledge Rd. that was recently acquired by the town as part of the Land Ownership
Adjustment Agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. The property will eventually be sold to
adjacent property owners to resolve encroachment problems. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.
--Grand Traverse Special Development District Modifications
The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve an ordinance that would change the lot
configuration in the Grand Traverse subdivision from 24 lots to 22 lots and increase the
allowable GRFA (gross residential floor area) for employee housing units from 500 sq. ft. to 800
sq. ft. For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department
at 479-2145.
--Design Review Trigger
The Council voted 7-0 to approve second reading of an ordinance allowing residential (single
family/duplex) renovations of up to 500 square feet without triggering costly requirements to
bring the remainder of the property up to current design standards. In the past, owners of some
of Vail's older properties have wanted to add a bedroom, for example, but found themselves
saddled with a town requirement to bury overhead utitities, pave a driveway or add new siding to
the home as part of the project. The new design review trigger approved by the Town Council
was initiated by Councilman Michael Arnett who said he wanted to add flexibility for people who
want to make their homes more liveable. During discussion last night, several people asked
Council to incorporate provisions that would allow interior conversions of floor area for mu(ti-
family dwellings within the ordinance. But Councilmembers said they preferred to take a
comprehensive look at interior and exterior conversions for multi-family properties in a separate
ordinance. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello, chief of planning in the Community
Development Department, at 479-2148.
--Town Manager's Report
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer reminded councilmembers of a growth management
workshop sponsored by Eagle County next week. Councilmembers also voted 7-0 to add
$5,000 to the 1999 budget to help sponsor the Colorado Municipal League Conference which
will bring an estimated 1,500 people to Vail next year. In addition, councilmembers authorized
use of the recently-vacated Vail Recreation District office space beneath the library to be used to
distribute uniforms during the World Alpine Ski Championships.

--Proposed Refinancing of TOV's Debt
The Town Council voted 6-0 to hire Steve Jeffers ofi Bigelow and Co. to begin pursuing a
refinancing package for $6 miilion of the town's $24 million debt. The Council also authorized
the hiring of Peter Zent as the town's local finarcial advisor. The Councif will have a final
opportunity to sign off on the refinancing plan following several weeks of preparation by Jeffers
and Zent. Due to iower interest ra#es, the refirancing couid frep up between $2.5 million to $3
million over the next five years. The Common Ground plar appraved by Council on June 30
calls for using that money to facilitate affordable housing within the town. For more information,
contact Steve Thompson, finance director, at 479-2116.
--Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
During a discussion of the Lionshead redevelopment master planning process, the Council
reviewed a carrying capacity study and an economic analysis in preparation for additional
discussion at the evening meeting. The capacity study cited the need for improved fire service
coverage in West Vail, as well as the need for an expansion of the water district's sewer plant as
the"most critical elements in consideration of density increases in Lionshead. Under a six-story
building height scenario, the plan could add an additiona! 1,700 people to Lionshead and 515
additional dweiling units. Also during the afternoon worksession, economist Stan Bernstein
presented an overview of the revenue impacts of various building height scenarios. The impacts
could generate between $2 million to $4 million in annual recurring revenues to the town, he
said, based on increased gross retail sales, property tax collections and real estate transfer tax
collections. During discussion, Counci(member Sybill Navas suggested adding a recreation
amenity component to the carrying capaci;y study. She also expressed concerns about
availability of parking. Councilmembers yesterday a!so heard from attorney R.C. Stevenson,
representing property owners along Forest Road who have asked the Council to consider
removing the Vail Associates-owned tennis court site from the master plan study area. Before
the close of the worksession, Councilmembers shared their thoughts about the pending decision
on heights for Lionshead. Sybill Navas expressed her discomfort in moving ahead with a
decision due to continuing concerns about the "bonus heighY" concept included in the
recommendatio!i. Instead, Navas suggested an average height approach in which building

forms could vary up to a maximum height. Michael Arnett said he would support a height of four
stories with a roof in the core area; five stories with a roof in the outlying areas; and the
possibility of a bonus height for employee housing units or accommodation units, though not in
the core area. Arnett said he also disagreed with the height boundaries recommended by the
Planning and Environmental Commission. Rob Ford said he could support five floors with a roof.

outlying areas. Michael Jewett said he agreed with Michael Arnett's concept, while Ludwig Kurz
also expressed concerns about loopholes within the bonus height concept, especially as it.
relates to employee housing units. After additional discussion, Councilmembers also expressed
an interest in retaining GRFA as a development standard within Lionshead to add additional .
- controls over bulk and mass. For additional information, see evening meeting briefs, or'contact
Dominic Mauriello, project manager, at 479-2148.
--Discussion of Ordinance No. 9, Grand Traverse Special Development District
In preparation for the evening meeting, the council reviewed an ordinance that would change the
lot configuration in the subdivision from 24 lots to 22 lots and increase the allowable GRFA
(gross residential floor area) for employee housing units from 500 sq. ft. to 800 sq. ft. The
measure was tater approved by a 6-0 vote on first reading. For more information, contact
George Ruther in the Community Development Depariment at 479-2145.
--Vail Village Core Construction Update
After Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, provided an update on the Vail Village
construction projects, the Council recognized Larry Pardee, construction inspector, for his
outstanding performance in serving as a liaison between the Village property owners and
merchants, the town, and the contractors. Councilmembers also thanked everyone who was
involved in getting the Village ready for the July 4th holiday. On a related topic, Councilman
Bob Armour inquired about the possibility of replacing the ponderosa pines at the West Vail
roundabouts with another type of tree that might survive better at this altitude.
--Ford Park Managed Parking
Also yesterday, Councilmembers heard a brief report from Grafel on the managed parking
program at Ford Park. Grafel said the paid/managed parking program has worked to change
some attitudes and acceptance. He said users continue to have a choice in accessing the park
with free parking in the structure or paid close-in parking.
Councilmember Sybill Navas shared concerns expressed previously about maintaining
consistency with the program, while Mayor Rob Ford said the negative feedback he's received
has come from locals who would rather have more breaks than what the program offers now.
Councilman Ludwig Kurz said the increased safety at the park has been worth the change. He
suggested the need for user groups to continue to inform their constituents about the program.
There was also some discussion about adjusting the angle of the electronic signs to increase
visibility from the sun's glare.
--July 4th Update
During a recap of the July 4th activities, Vail Police Chief Greg Morrison played a video tape
showing elbow-to-elbow crowds along Bridge Street at about 1:30 a.m. on July 5.
Overall, he said the crowds, although larger than ever, were well behaved. He credited a strict
enforcement tone established by the department earlier in the week for creating a good deterrent
factor during the holiday. Morrison also thanked the council for authorizing extra law
enforcement officers to work the holiday.
--Information Update
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said one of the temporary art displays in Willow Park

Evening Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
Jack Curtin of Curtin-Hill Sports in Vail Village addressed the Council on two topics. First, he
complimented Larry Pardee, the town's construction inspector, for his outstanding work in
serving as a liaison between the merchants and the contractors during this summer's
construction in Vail Village. And on an unrelated topic, Curtin asked the Council to consider
discontinuing the Art In Public Places (AIPP) program during the upcoming budget process and
instead use the funds to help subsidize the Park Free After 3 program. Although worthwhile,
Curtin said the AIPP program should be funded only after other more pressing needs have been
taken care of.
Next, Paul Rondeau, a Vail resident, offered his thoughts about the Common Ground process
following the aftermath of Iast Tuesday's Council decision. Rondeau, among other things,
suggested the town consider putting together a document similar to the "record of decision"
issued by the US Forest Service on the Category III proposal, as well as follow through with a
suggestion to put the plan up to a public vote. Rondeau also expressed concerns about the
- continued preservation of open space as the plan is implemented. He also said he was
available as a volunteer to help the town in any way possible.
Dick Peterson, a West Vail resident, asked the Council to look into increased enforcement of a
handicapped parking space at the Vail Commons development. Peterson complained that
previous contacts with the town have been unsuccessful in solving the problem.
Cindy Jacobson, a Forest Rd. resident, asked the Council to remove the Forest Road tennis
courts from the Lionshead Master plan study area, noting the property is unplatted and zoned
agricultural open space. Jacobson's husband, Tom, also addressed the Council and demanded
the town "take care of what was promised" in removing snow cat operations along Forest Rd.
Saying that his curtains are black from the diesel fuel and that he's "tired of fighting," Jacobson
insisted the Council must first address the snowcat situation before moving forward with the
Lionshead Master Plan.
The last citizen to address the Council was Jody Lindvall (not sure on spelling), representing a
, property owner on Beaver Dam Rd. Lindvall said the property owner was concerned about the
status of the Vail Associates-owned tennis court property on Forest Rd. as it is applied to the
Lionshead Master Plan. Lindvall also asked that the property be removed from the master plan
study area.

TOV Council Highlights/7-7-98/Add 3
--Ordinance No. 9, Grand Traverse Special Development District
The Council voted 6-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance changing the Grand Traverse
Special Development District to allow for a reconfiguration of the subdivision's lots from a total of
24 to 22. The changes also included an increase in the space allotment for employee housing
units from 500 sq. ft. to 800 sq. ft. For more information, contact George Ruther in the
Community Development Department at 479-2145.
--Ordinance No. 10, Design Review Trigger
The Council voted 6-0 to approve first reading of a modified ordinance that would allow
expansions of up to 500 sq. ft. in residential dwelling units without triggering the town's design review standards. Those standards require improvements such as paved driveways and
undergrounding of utilities in conjunction with upgrades and renovations. Councilrnan Michael
Arnett served as a catalyst in creating the ordinance, noting that the existing design review
guidelines were creating a financial hardship for people who simply wanted to make their homes
more liveable. In modifying the ordinance last night, the Council removed a provision that
addressed interior expansions of multi-family dwelling units. Instead, the Council agreed to
address the multi-family issue in a separate ordinance. For more information, contact Dominic
Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148.
--Vail Valley Marketing Board (VVMB)
The Council heard an overview of the Vail Valley Marketing Board's activities from several
representatives, including Ross Boyle, a Council-appointed volunteer who chairs the VVMB.
The presentation included a recap of the board's strategy in using the group's limited marketing
dollars to leverage other dollars in highly targeted markets, as well as the emerging success of
the tnternet in converting inquiries to bookings. About 70 percent of the people who visit the Vail
Valley in the summer say they'll be back, according to Boyle. That's why the role of the VVMB,
he said, is to reach out to people who haven't ever been here before. About 30 percent of the
valley's summer visitors are from within Colorado, he said. Another 55 percent come from 18
states;12 percent are from the remaining states; and 5 percent are international visitors.
Although the marketing budget is modest, Boyle credited the board's professional volunteers for
maximizing those resources. With the future of the VVMB now uncertain due to competing
requests from a new organization called Vail 1 st, Boyle asked the Council to consider funding
the VVMB for another one-to-two years while efforts to create a regional lodging tax for
marketing are put into place. A ballot measure could be ready for November, Boyle said. If not,
the Iodging tax proposal will be ptaced on the ballot the following year in an effort to provide a
permanent funding source for regional marketing.
--Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
After hearing an overview on recommended building heights and development standards for the
Lionshead Master Plan, the Council, acknowledging concerns expressed earlier in the evening,
voted 6-0 to remove the Forest Rd. tennis court site as a residential height zone area as called
out in a draft master plan map. Instead, the Council agreed to replace the property's map
designation as open space. During discussion, David Corbin of Vail Associates, reminded the
Council and members of the audience that VA would likely return to the town in the future to
apply for platting and rezoning of the VA-owned property. The draft master plan had originally
identified the site, currently zoned agriculture/open space, as a potential residential development
opportunity. However, numerous residents along Forest Road have expressed concerns about
the potential development. The site is currently leased by VA to the Vail Recreation District. In
voting for the change yesterday, Councilmembers Bob Armour and Sybill Navas said they
wanted to be clear that the Council's action in no way precludes VA from applying for a zone
change in the future. Also yesterday, Councilmembers postponed a decision on the height and
development standards for the master plan, noting the volume of background material that had

been presented during the worksession. Public comments were offered by Rob LeVine of the
Antlers and property owner Bob Lazier, who encouraged the Council to provide enough
incentives that will make redevelopment feasible within Lionshead. tn addition, speaking on
behalf of representatives from the Lionshead merchants, LeVine offered full support for the
buitding height proposal, so long as the town and other parties work to mitigate construction
impacts on the businesses. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association noted the
need for additional discussion and definition about the west end of Lionshead, as well as the
public sector capital improvements that would be needed to support the master plan. A fourth
speaker, Dennis Colburn, (not sure on spelling) suggested the need for beer gardens and open "
entertainment in Lionshead during the summer. For more information, contact Dominic
Mauriello, project manager, at 479-2148. --Announcements

Thanks for your interest in the Red
Sandstone development. As critical
employees to the operation of the Town,
you are in the top tier for selecting
units at the Red Sandstone housing
development. We are planning a
presentation for TOV critical employees
and Eagle River Water and Sanitation
District employees next Wednesday, July
29, at noon, in Council Chambers. The
developer will make a brief
presentation and will provide
reservation contracts for your review.
Prior to that meeting, I will be
sending each of you an information
packet, with floor plans, elevations,
and information about the development.
Some of the units in the development
are reserved for the District, some for
TOV critical employees and some for the
general public. The units not
purchased by TOV critical employees or
District employees will be added to the
pool to be made available to the
general public.
In order to move forward with the
community lottery for the remaining
units, we will need to know by August
12 if you would like to buy a unit. We
will need you to return a completed
reservation contract and a 3°s down
payment, which will be held in escrow
until closing.
The Town Council has provided an
opportunity for critical employees to
have "first pick" of the units in this
development. If you have any
questions, or would like to see a
larger set of plans than those in the
information packet, please give me a
call (x-2440) or e-mail me with your
questions.
Thanks.

The Honorable Rob Ford

• •RAD•
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Mayor Ford:
On September lOth-12th, communities from across the state will convene in Denver for the Promise
Colorado Summit on Youth and Volunteerism. We are pleased to invite the community of Vail to send
a delegation to the upcoming summit on strengthening resources for children and youth throughout the
state through the power of volunteerism.
Promise Colorado is our state's response to the challenge set forth by the Presidents' Summit for
America's Future last year. At the national summit, Presidents Clinton, Bush, Carter, Ford, and First
Lady Nancy Reagan, along with thousands of delegates from every state, resolved that every child in
America should have access to five fundamental resources that significantly reduce problems facing
America's youth: mentoring, safe places, healthy starts, marketable skills, and the opporiunity to serve.
America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth, led by General Colin Powell, was formed to spearhead
the effort. Tens of thousands of people are now making personal, organizational and community
commitments to meet the goals.
Colorado's Challenge - Promise Colorado's goal is to increase the capacity of support systems available
in our neighborhoods and communities - families, neighbors, congregations, schools, organizations,
associations, businesses, and government - through increased collaboration and volunteerism. The
Summit's Organizing Committee, a broad-based coalition, has planned a series of events that will enable
communities and citizens to develop, identify and access resources in new ways, including volunteerism
as the mechanism for meeting community needs.
Our request to you:
1. Select a Lead Contact for your community who will serve as a point of contact for people from your
area interested in attending, and who is willing to keep in contact after the Summit to report local
plans and progress.
Please return the enclosed Lead Contact form to Promise Colorado by July 31.
2. Assemble an energized community team to attend the Summit and gather ideas on ways that your
community can increase access to the five resources and create a broader community agenda for
addressing the needs of youth and volunteerism.
Sign your team up by August 14.
. s
Enclosed are registration packets for the event. Please feel free to copy the materials. Response to our
postcard mailed several weeks ago has been very positive - communities are already requesting
information on how to get involved, how to become a Community of Promise, and how volunteers from
nonprofits, schools, businesses and others can help.
Community Teams - Our goal is to have teams representing all sizes of communities. Teams will
represent their area by sharing information on local needs, programs, and interests in effectively
delivering services more broadly. The Summit includes sessions for teams to network with other
delegations and to work as a group to synthesize information. Sending a team will create a nucleus that
can bring the message of the Summit back to others in your local area. We encourage you to consider
sending a team of 5-8 people who represent a diverse cross-section of your community, such as
¦ Mayar/elected official or representatives of local government
¦ Nonprofit Youth AdvocateNolunteer Coordinator
¦ Faith community representative ¦ Health representative or business leader active in youth issues
¦ Educator
¦ Youth (age 13-18)
¦ Citizen at large.
Some smaller communities may wish to share a team with nearby communities, while others may send
multiple teams. Individual registrations are accepted as well. Please note, we encourage all teams to
bring a youth member. The Summit Organizing Committee has a fund to help defray the expenses
for youth members. Further, we are willing to waive the registration fee for one Team Member
from up to 25 communities, with priority on outlying communities, to defray expenses for teams, if
needed. Please have your Lead Contact call our office with the name of the Team Member requesting a
waiver as we will not be able to grant more than one waiver per community or more than 25 total.
At the Summit, each community may choose its own response to the challenge. Some will take steps to
become a Community of Promise. Others may convene a local summit or similar event to mobilize
increased volunteerism and collaboration, and others may explore innovative ways to improve the quality
of life for children and youth. Information on technical assistance and follow-up local summit planning,
media outreach and funding will be announced at the Summit.
Please do not hesitate to call Lynette Murphy at the Promise Colorado office at 303.595.1604 with any
questions.
See you in September!

The Taylois, my host famil}; are warm
and welcoming, apd I have become "one of
the gang." The Taylois has been terrific.
My work experience has been split
between Mt. Stirling, the Nordic area,
and Mt. Buller, the downhill ski moun-
tain. Mt. Stirling is run by Barb and Craig
Jones. Barb is also a councilwoman on
the Delatite Shire Council. The niountain
_ has wer 601dlometeis of groomed track
available when the snow conditions allrnv
for it. It is covered by a beautifiil euca-
lyptas forest, and has a well equipped sla
hire and a bistro. I have been wrorking
both in the ski hire and as an instruccor.
At Mt. Buller, I am aiso working at the
ski school, and am under the supervision
of Brian Maguire. At the moment I am
still in training to instruct with their pro-
~ gram. Mt. Buller also has a Nordic atea,
, and because of my Nordic background I
' will be involved with that pmgram when
~ Yhere is enough snow for it to open. The
~ main Buller mountain is kept running
with an extensive man-made snow sys-
• tem. Even though the snow condirions are
not always reliable, Mt. Buller has some
great runs and beauriful views.
On Wednesday, July 15, I met with the
Delatitc Shire Council. I made a brief pre-
sentation about my background, Vail and
my curnent experience in Mansfield and on
the mountains. The council membeis were
very interested to hear a different perspec-
tive of their sister ciry. They are also orga-
nizng times when I can cnake presenha-
tions to the local high schools. I may also
be asked to present to the tourism boazd. A

MEMOR.ANDUM TM
TO: Vail Town Council - Jssistant FROM: Pamela A. BrandmeyTown Manager
DATE: July 23, 1998
RE: Proposed VRD Questions for Discussion
In order to accommodate current agenda items for the Town Council, we are hoping to reschedule
the VRD joint discussion with Town Council to the September 15th work session. What follows
are questions staff has proposed for that discussion:
1. Share with the Town VRD's long-term strategic plan and capital improvements plan.
2. What does VRD perceive to be their role in the community facilities planning process?
3. Where do we move in the future regarding the skate board park?
4. Discussion of increased scheduling of athletic events in Ford Park.
5. Are there potential uses of RETT funds for VRD related projects (e.g., Tom Gaylord at the
Nature Center may have a proposal for increased paths in and around the Nature Center area
of the park).
6. Should we begin renegotiation of the golf course lease?
7. In regard to redevelopment of the golf course clubhouse, is this an appropriate site for
gymnastics? '
8. Please advise Council regarding the expansion of the locker rooms and other related facilities
at the Dobson Ice Arena.
9. Should VRD, as the recreation and youth-related activities director, take more of a lead role
in supplying youth events and entertainment during the 4th of July holiday and New Year's
Eve?
RECYCLEDPAPER
Please consider the above items and feel free to add to, delete or modify in whatever way these
questions. Again, there had been a request from the VRD to put an agenda together reflecting
concerns and questions from both entities. These questions should be viewed only as a starting point
for this upcoming discussion with VRD.

TUESDAY'S BUDWEISER HOT SUMMER NIGHTS FINALE, A FIRST FOR
VAIL COMMUNITY PHOTO
(Vail)--Tomorrow's (7-28) Budweiser Hot Summer Nights Concert, while marking the end of
another successful 7-week season, will produce something new. It will serve as this year's
backdrop for Vail's annual community photograph. The photo wi!l be taken during intermission
of the weekly free concert series. After a brief moment to gather the crowd below, photographer
Rex Keep will take the photo from the roof of the Ford Amphitheater to capture what many
consider to be one of the most enjoyable community gatherings of the year.
Sponsored by the 0/ail Valley Foundation and E3udweiser, Hot Summer Nights attracts
hundreds of locals each week. "The music is always great, but in this case it's the people who
tend to be the draw that makes this event so successful," said John Garnsey, president of the
Vail Valley Foundation. The event began in 1987 as a way to introduce people to the newly-
opened Ford Amphitheater.
And thaYs what makes Hot Summer Nights the fitting venue for the community photo,
sponsored by the Town of Vail and the Vail Tomorrow Building Community Team.
"The event tends to serve as a time to visit with people you might not have seen since the
beginning of ski season," said Suzanne Silverthorn, Town of Vaii Community Information Officer,
who's helping to organize the photograph. "Over and over again, you hear how this event tends
to bring the larger community together, from East Vail to Edwards and beyond."

RECYCLEDPAPER
Add 1/Community Photo
Tomorrow's photograph will be taken at approximately 7:20 p.m. when Dirty Dozen, a New
Orleans brass band, takes a break in its performance at the Ford Amphitheater. The band is
scheduled to begin playing at about 6:30 p.m.
The annual community photo, which originated during the Vail Tomorrow strategic planning
process, is used to promote the community spirit of Vail. The two previous photographs were
taken during Vail's annual clean-up day, another community-minded event.
This year's photo will grace the cover of the Town of Vail's community newsletter to be
published in August and mailed to residents and property owners in Vail.
For more information, contact Silverthorn in the Town of Vail Community Information Office at

Re: Ordinance to expand area o1` existinp multifamily zoned habitable units.
Aa a foilow-up m my pTevious letter to Councif and my appearance before Councll
on July 21, 1 am writinp to urpe Council to act speedily an this matter.
Gouncil sirould consider the importance of not rostrictine the aroa of additions1 aq.
footape to be bullt wtthtn an exlstlrtp volume of an existinp buildinp. I beNeve this
allows owners and atchitaats to bs flaxible and imacinativa about how to maximize
the usefulne" af exi8ting building6. This ordinence cen essist ths Town of Vai1
with such concerna as additional housfnp sccomrnodatlon, Increased permanent
rasident numbars, and expandinp tax base. Codeg regudinp psrkinp, fire esCape,
tight, ventilation, and egress already exist end wilf apply to such additions and these
wlll control and disctpline other concerns and issues.
I believe the existinq ordinanae which psrmits additionel erea to be added beyond
the existfnp volume of slngle famify and duplex housing should be axpandad to
+nclude multifemily units. lt is currentiy an inequitable ordinance particulariy when
vlewed repsrdinp triplsx, 4-plax, and walk-up type multifamity unita.
Yours sincerely.

second quarter.
Overall May sales tax increased 13.9% with Retail increasing 19.4%, Lodging increased 11.9%,
Food and Beverage increased 20.0% and Other (which includes items such as utilities, ta.xable services
i.e. plumbing, electrical and rentals or leases) decreased .2°/a.
