PERFORMANCE-BASED PAY
DISCUSSION OF STATUS
(Cont.)
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:
? The manaQement team is
- willing to move toward a performance-based pay system
- without much experience with such a system
- acknowledges the entitlement perspective believed to be shared among
employees
- realizes the amount of work and change necessary to make such a plan
effective.
? The current performance appraisal process and tools
- will likely need to be revamped prior to the full implementation of a
perFormance-based plan
- is an apparently effective, job-related plan that is credible in most
departments
- has been characterized by abnormally high rankings for most positions.
? The current pav philosophv of the Town
- probably does not lend itself to effective distribution of available funds based
on performance
- fosters the anticipation that all employees will be permitted (and expected)
to move toward the range maximum

Vail, CO 81657
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Ski Club Vail is requesting a Temporary Parking/ Loading Zone along Vail Valley Drive.
(As most of you 1•uiow) Ski Ctub Vail, formed 34 years ago with approximately 25
athletes moved into its current location in 1977 with approximately 75 atliletes. We
currently have over 280 athletes and 39 coaches and staff. Due to our increased numbers
as well as additional vehicular demands, the circular drive is no longer adequate for
loading and unloading. We are requesting a trial Temporary Parking / Loading Zone
similar to that of FirstBank of Vail. It would ru•n approximately 250 feet along the soutli
side of Vail Valley Drive starting at a point east of the end of the walkway to
approximately 40 feet west ofthe circular drive. The scheduled widening of Vail Valley'
Drive has been moved back again to 2001. '
Ski Club will self-police the area during its critical hours of 8:00 to 9:30 am and 3:00 to
5:00 pm Saturdays and Sundays. We will also self-police the area on race days and any
club functions.
This proposal has been reviewed by the Vail Towci Council and Vail Public Works
Department.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: November 9, 1998
SUBJECT: A request for a variance from Section 12-8A-11 of the Town of Vail
Municipal Code., to allow fpr parking and loading within required setbacks,
located at 598 Vail ValTey Drive/A portion of Tract B, Vail Village 7ih Filing.
Applicant: Ski Club Vail
Planner: Brent Wilson
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for temporary parking and loading wifhin the
front setback on an Agriculture/Open Space zoned lot. The proposal would allow Ski Club Vail
to use a portion of the Town's right-of-way along Vail Valley Drive as a temporary (1998/99
season) loading/unloading area and an "interior" pedestrian walkway. Approval of this request
would allow for the addition of approximately nine temporary parking/loading spaces.

II. BACKGROUND
Proiect Historv
. On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use
permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require
any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate,"
, On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area/right-of-,
- way as a loading and unloading zone for a one year period. The approual was conditioned on
. Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop-off' zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from Ramshom Condominiums. This lease agreement is no
longer in effect. After the one-year PEC approval expired, additional approvals were not
requested. Therefore, the operation has been occumng for 11 years without the required
approvals.
In January of this year, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) (Attachment "A") regarding parking, loading/unloading
and vehicular access for Ski Club Vail and the Golden Peak ski facility. Under this MOU, the
Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At
their October 13, 1998 meeting, Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an
application to correct the parking and foading problems on site before the PEC for approval.
Parkinq and Riqht-of-Way Manaqement Issues
Ski Club Vail personnel are currently working with the Town of Vail Public Works Department
to address existing drainage and snow storage issues. They have obtained a public way
permit for drainage improvements to the existing parking areas, but are requesting additional
snow removal services from the Town as part of this application. It will be necessary to have
all vehicles removed from the area each morning prior to snow removal. As demonstrated in
Figure 1, this area is currently used for a significant amount of snow storage.
The Town has experienced problems in the past on this site with the expenditure of personnel
hours for parking management. The aPplicant states that the area will be monitored by Ski
Cfub Vail staff/volunteers until 9:00 a.m. with Vail Associates managing the parking after 9:00
a.m. However, Vail Associates is not a party to this application and no records have been
submitted which reflect such an agreement.
If the PEC grants an approval of this request, the usage of the Town's right-of-way, which is
public property, will be available to the general public - not just Ski Club Vait affiliates.
Additionally, signage which reflects applicable restrictions on parking will need to be provided
by the applicant.

E. Side: 15' 15' no change
Rear 15' 0' no change
IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
A. Consideration of Factors:
Upon review of Section 12-17-6 of the Vail Municipal Code, Criteria and
Findings, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the
requested variance based on the following factors:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Adjacent uses/structures include the Golden Peak Ski Facility, Manor
Vail and Pinos Del Norte/Northwoods.
_ The portion of the Golden Peak lot to the south of Ski Club Vail - -
previously used as a construction staging area by Vail Associates - is
required (by the Town of Vail) to be revegetated. Additionally, the bike
path which has been used to access this area was not designed to
accommodate vehicular traffic and usage of this path has been
problematic. Thus, utilization of this area for additional Ski Club parking
is not feasible in the short term.
Residents from other adjacent properties (Pinos Del Norte/Northwoods,
Manor Vail) have voiced concerns that their parking areas and driveways
have been used by Ski Club Vail affiliates for turnaround access and that
loading/unloading at Ski Ctub Vail congests traffic along Vail Valley
Drive. Please refer to Attachments "C", "D" and "E" for details.

Figure 2. Bike Path between Golden Peak and Northwoods lots currently used for access
to parking area (to be revegetated).
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation
and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity
or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special
privilege.
Staff believes that the granting of this variance would be a grant of
special privifege. Under the Agricultural/Open Space zoning, Ski Club
Vail operates on a non-conforming lot with a serious parking/loading ~
deficiency. The existing "horseshoe" turnaround area is insufficient to
meet the needs of Ski Club Vail participants and vendors. There are no
alternative parking or loading areas currently available on site. It
appears that Ski Club Vail may have grown to a point where either a new
location which provides adequate parking and loading or a major
redevelopment with structured parking is necessary.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
4
The Town of Vail Police Department believes the use of this area for
loading and unloading creates a potentially hazardous pedestrian and
vehicular traffic situation. Please refer to Attachment "B" for details.
The Community Development Department believes this application will
make the pedestrian circulation in this immediate area more complicated
and dangerous. Given the tight constraints of the majority of this
shoulder (8' in width), pedestrians will be forced to walk in and along the
street. A pedestrian walkway through this area needs to be well-defined,
separated from the roadway and raised behind a curb. Additionally, placement of cars within the front setback presents a sight.
triangle/visibility hazard for motorists pulling out of the horseshoe
turnaround.
B. The Plannina and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq
findinas before qrantinp a variance•
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same distnct.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners
of other properties in the same district.

V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends denial of the requested variance,
subject to the following findings:
1. That the granting of the variance may be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to,approve this request; the
Community Development Department recommends the following conditions: .
1. That the approval be limited to a period of one year befinreen the dates of
November 6th and May 10t" and the hours of 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
2. That the terms outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding dated January
6t'', 1998 be fulfilled in their entirety.
3. That an agreement be estabfished befinreen the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail
for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking on this
property.

FROM: \,/Pamela A. BrandmeyAssistant Town Manager DATE: January 6, 1998
RE: Golden Peak Parking/Congestion
What follows reflects our understanding of commitments made by Ski Club Vail, Vail Associates,
and the Towm of Vail in regard to parking, loading and unloading, drop-off and other vehicular areas
of congestion:
Short Term Solutions, January through April, 1998, Only:
1: " The lot north of the new Golden Peak facility remains a public skier drop-off area and should
be used for loading and delivery. Terms and conditions: five minute limit with no
unattended vehicles allowed. In order to accommodate this, the Town of Vail and Vail
Associates will continue to work actively on managing the parking.
2. Slti Club Vail will clear the parking horseshoe to the north of their facility of vans and other
velucles prior to 8:00 a.m. each morning. These vehicles will be moved to Ford Park during
the day and then returned to Ski Club Vail's horseshoe parking area to provide a secure area
at night. Vail Associates will commit to plowing through the horseshoe as long as vehicles
are moved by 8:00 a.m. daily.
3. Ski Club Vail will commit to keeping their vans out of the Ski Club Vail horseshoe area at
peak times in the afternoon. Although the Town of Vail will continue to use guest services
expertise and personal discretion, this does not mean tickets will not be issued to unattended
vehicles. Unattended vehicles will be ticlceted and possibly towed at the owner's expense.
Following an educational period that began prior to Thanlcsgiving fol?~wed by written

education handed directly to parents and users of the Golden Peak area since December 12,
1997, the Police Department will continue to educate through the weekend of January l Oth,
vvith full implementation of ticketing and towing to occur the weekend of January 17, 1998.
Ski Club Vail (Kate Asoian) will commit to providing Dick Gericke with a mailing list of
parents by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 6, 1998. At its own expense, the Town of Vail will
mail the educational material to the over 300 parents from Slci Club Vail participants.
Long Term Solutions:
l. The Town of Vail (Bob McLaurin) wili commit to discussing with the Town Councit a
temporary only use of parking on Town of Vail right-of-way in front of Ski Club Vail. For
a time specific this would allow pedestrian traffic an interior route with a special drop-off
only, no unattended vehicles, no on-street stopping, in front of the Slci Club Vail facility
(January through April, 1998).
2. The Town of Vail will consider a request for excavation of parking to the east and possibly
the south of the Ski Club Vail faciliry. This will mean scrutiny of the Pinos del Norte land
deed to discern what restrictions may apply.
3. The Town of Vail will commit to working on preliminary design work for Vail Valley Drive
to accommodate Ski Club Vail's redesign of its horseshoe drop-off area as well as extended
parking.

VAIL POLICE DEPAItTMENT
NIEMORANDUNI '
TO: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
Fi J`4: Greg Morrison, Chief of Police
DATE: October 9, 1998
REF: Ski Club Vail
A request has been made by Ski Club Vail to uparade the shoulder of Vail Vailev Drive
- and allow loading and unloadincl, beriween Golden Peak and the Ski ClubVail facility.
After reviewinQ this request with my staff, I want to eYpress my very stronQ opposition to ;
this request due to it's negative impact on pedestrian safety; traffic flow and especially - our bus svstem in that area.
Since the redevelopment of Golden Peak, cars stoppin' on the shoulder of Vail Valley
Drive, or pulling up onto the sidewalks, have caused traffic delays in the area. Erom
personal experience I can attest that once just one car pulls to the side of the road and
stops to unload, immediately many other cars do eYactly the same. The car doors flv open
and suddenly adults and children are stepping into the trafFic lane causinQ others cars to
come to a stop. The result is an immediate traffic jam on Vail Valley Drive which often
times backs traffic up all the way out to the frontaQe road. Town of Vail busses Qet caught
in the jam which then slows down the entire in- town route. Evening loadinQ creates the
same problems as cars pull off to the side and wait for skiers to walk to their cars, or often
time parents leave their cars and go in search of their children. Durincr holidays and busy
weekends police officers and CEOs have been stationed in the area to l:eep traffic
moving. On numerous occasions thouQh, every on-duty police officer and CEO have been
required to respond to the area.
Our most effective traffic manaQement strateay has been to prevent any cars from
stopping on the side of the road to unload. This results in the free movement of tra$ic and
the greatest safety for pedestrians. Allowing Sl:i Club Vail to establish a loading and .
unloadin- zone on the roadside will only result in once again having significant traffic
jams on Vail Valley Drive. The number of Ski Club Vail members arrivin(y at the same
time in the morning, will far esceed the number of spaces on the side of the road. By the
time a Ski Club Vail driver aets to the proposed unloading zone, he/she will have passea
the unloadinR zones at Golden Peak. Seeing the SCV unloading zone full, a driti-er will
most likely pull to the side of the road outside the unloadinQ zone, stop in the traffic lane
to wait for a space to become available, unload while double parkinQ in the street or make
a U-turn in the roadway to return to Golden Peak. All of these actions neQaiively effect
traffic flow and safety in the a.rea. Additionally drivers not affiliated with Ski Club Vail,
will be attracted to the unloadin~ zone and further compound the problems.
I would, however, strongly support the placement of a cement sidewalk benveen Golden
Peak and Ski Club Vail, on the South side of Vail Vallev Drive. Such a sidewalk would
Rreatly increase pedestrian safetv in the area, especially for SCV children, while SCV
utilized the unloadinv zones at Golden Peak.

vehicle was puked oa the sidewalk This will ruin the sidewalk in a very
short time. '
. Cars were buked up at the Chiidren's center obttructing trtfFic on Vail

Our driveway is used continuallp as a wrnaround point for Ski Ctub Vail
, cars and others that are dropping off skiers.

CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
CHAPTER 9 Implementation
This intent of this chapter is to provide guidance to the Town of Vail as it seeks to implement the
recommendations of this master plan. While recommendations regarding priorities, phasing, and
timing are included they should not be considered so binding that the plan is- compromised due to - ,
changing community conditions and priorities. The project priorities listed below are divided - into public and private improvements although it is important to note that many projects will
include joint public and private financing efforts.
9.1 Project Prioritization
9.1.1 Public improvements
The following project list is a suggested prioritization of public improvements. It
does not necessarily include all of the potential public improvements outlined in
the master plan but rather examines both the importance and inter-relationship of
the following projects. Issues of cost and funding availability will almost
certainly influence future implementation decisions. For example, the
construction of a Gore Creek recreation path by-pass is not as critical as the North
Day Lot transportation center to the overall master plan but might be implemented
sooner due to its lesser expense and access to RETT funds.
9.1.1.1 North Day Lot transit center
This cornponent is critically important to the overall implementation of
the Lionshead Master Plan due to the following reasons:
a. It is a prerequisite to other critical projects
It will be impossible or very difficult to proceed with the following
projects prior to the construction of the transit center:
• East Lionshead Pedestrian Portal. A critical component of this
pedestrian portal is the removal of the existing skier drop-off,
service and delivery, and local/ regional shuttle activity. All of
these activities are relocated to the North Day Lot transit
center. The existing level of service and delivery traffic can be
accammodated in the proposed surface facility on the west end
of the parking structure, but this is a short term solution that
does not provide for expanded service and delivery needs.
• Concert Hall Plaza redevelopment. The master plan
recommends the removal of the existing Concert Hall Plaza
transit stop in order to create a both a larger redPvelopment
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-1
~ CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
parcel and to enhance the west Lionshead pedestrian portal.
While this transit stop could feasibly be eliminated today, this
stop will likely be replaced in the North Day Lot transit facility.
• Vail Community Civic,Center. The removal of the charter
buses from the future civic center site will necessitate
providing a pick-up and drop-off point at the North Day L-ot
transit center.
• Retail Expansion. The critical component of retail expansion
in the Lionshead pedestrian core will necessitate the creation of
new service and delivery facilities, targeted by the master plan -
to occur at the North Day Lot transit center. In addition a significant amount of current service and delivery traffic on
West Lionshead Circle occurs illegally in the fire lane south of
the Landmark Townhomes and in the street. This existing
service and delivery traffic is targeted to occur in the North Day
Lot transit center as well.
b. New North Lionshead pedestrian portal
One of the primary planning components of the North Day Lot
transit center is the creation of a new major point of entry into the
pedestrian/ retail core. This new influx of pedestrian traffic will
help energize and provide viability to the retailers on the western
end of the core area.
9.1.1.2 East Lionshead pedestrian portal
The East Lionshead pedestrian portal is the single heaviest utilized
point of entry into both Lionshead and the entire Vail resort (based
upon skier numbers accessing the mountain). The implementation of
the master plan's recommendations for this portal will arguably have
_ the most significant impact on the character and visual perception of
the study area.
9.1.1.3 West Lionshead pedestrian portal
While the West Lionshead pedestrian portal is a critical component to
the functionality of the overall retail core, it is dependent on the
redevelopment of at least one private property.(Concert Hall Plaza). It
is strongly recommended that the Town of Vail work with these
property owners to provide incentive, encourage, and• facilitate this
important project.
9.1.1.4 Pedestrian/ retail core public space improvements
Second or equal in importance to the Lionshead pedestrian portals is
the quality of the pedestrian/ retail mall itself. The recommendations
made in the site design guidelines for the "primary pedestrian mall" are
critical to this improvement. It is recommended that tbc
PAGE 9-2 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION „
implementation of these improvements be financially linked (to a
reasonable extent) to the redevelopment and expansion of the adjacent
properties including but not limited to the Vail Associates core site.
9.1.1.5 Sidewalk and streetscape improvements
These enhancements to Lionshead's streets and pedestrian circulation
patterns are important both functionally and visually. While key
connections and improvements could be undertaken solely by the
Town of Vail, it is recommended that many be financially linked (to a
, reasonable extent) to the development, redevelopment and exp'ansion
of adjacent properties. 9.1.1.6 Development on south face of parking structure and East
Lionshead Circle streetscape
This project includes two important elements: the creation of a
retail/commercial and housing component and the enhancement of the
East Lionshead Circle pedestrian corridor. While these projects can
"stand alone", or occur prior to adjacent projects, they are closely
related to the East Lionshead pedestrian portal, the Vail Community
Civic Center, the addition of parking decks to the existing parking
structure, and the streetscape connection along West Meadow Drive to
the Vail Village. The Town of Vail's efforts regarding locals and
employee housing could cause these projects to take on a higher
priority.
9.1.1.7 South Frontage Road re-alignment and improvements
The improvements needed on the South Frontage Road, such as
widening and the creation of acceleration and deceleration lanes, will
become more critical as properties redevelop and potentially add
- density to Lionshead. The timing of these improvements will be a
function of both the redevelopment of Lionshead and the ability of the
Town of Vail to finance the improvements. Potential realignment
scenarios will be tied closely to the development of the West Day lot
and the Vail Associates service yard. While the projects that will
require these road improvements will occur over time, it is .likely that
the improvements will be required to happen either all at once or in
significant phases. A system of impact fees on projects adding density
or traffic volume to Lionshead is a potential means of long term
funding. It is important to note that portions of the South Frontage
Road improvements are needed now (acceleration/ deceleration lanes,
signage, etc.), making them more difficult to "charge" to individual
future projects.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-3
~ CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.1.1.8 Parking
As outlined in the body of the master plan the need for a new parking
deck on the existing structure could possibly be justified taday. Given
this, the addition of parking will be a function of justified need based
upon the parameters of the master plan and any future parking demand
studies. The issue of additional decks for the existing structure or a
new public structure in west Lionshead is tied closely to the
construction of the Vail Community Civic Center and the potential
, nearer term development of the West Day Lot and Vail Associates service yard. In any case, the development of the West Day Lbt will
necessitate replacement of this existing private parking through either
structured or an adjacent surface lot. If future parking studies
demonstrate a need for significant public parking in the west
Lionshead area, a joint venture between Vail Associates, the Town of
Vail, and other potential development interests should be considered.
9.11.9 Vail Community Civic Center
Projects that must be in place prior to the implementation of the Vail
Community Civic Center are the addition of parking to the existing
Lionshead parking structure and the relocation of the charter bus
parking lot. In addition, this project will be integrally tied to the
development on the south face of the Lionshead parking structure and
the streetscape enhancements along East Lionshead Circle. This
project will be monumental in nature and is likely to occur after a
longer period of both planning and fund raising. It is not
recommended that this project be implemented at the expense of the
previously outlined actions or other more critical elements of the
master plan.
9.1.1.10 West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place realignment -
The realignment of this intersection, while important, is not critical to
the overall Lionshead masterplan implementation. It is recommended
that this project be implemented as part of the redevelopment process
of adjacent buildings. Projects that could be linked to this realignment
are the Vail Associates core site redevelopment (due to the potential
increase in traffic volume accessing the core site via Lionshead Place),
and the potential redevelopment of Concert Hall Plaza. While the
Concert Hall Plaza redevelopment may not increase the volume of
traffic on West Lionshead Circle, it will facilitate the creation of the
west Lionshead pedestrian portal of which this intersection is a critical
component.
9.1.1.11 Gore Creek Corridor improvements
The Gore Creek Corridor improvements outlined in the master plan
will greatly enhance the experience of both locals and *.':e Lionshead
PAGE 9-4 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
guest but are not critically important to the overall functionality of
Lionshead. However, these projects are more isolated from adjoining,
or triggering, projects and may be significantly easier to implement,
both financially and logistically. While they should not supercede or
slow the implementation of more critical plan elements they do
represent a significant benefit to Lionshead and their implementation
should be diligently pursued.
9.1.2 Private improvements 9.1.2.1 Individual property redevelopment and exterior renovations
The improvements of individual properties through redevelopment,
site enhancement, and exterioz renovations is critical to the
accomplishment of the overall master plan goals. Toward that end it is
recommended that the Town of Vail take all reasonable efforts to
create incentives, encourage, and facilitate these important projects.
While this master plan provides guidance and a framework for possible
renewal and redevelopment projects, the specific recommendations of
the plan, including the architectural design guidelines, are not intended
to create a disincentive for either redevelopment or exterior
renovations. If, over time, any component of the plan proves to create
a disincentive for desired renewal or redevelopment, that plan
component should be considered for revision.
9.1.2.2 Core site hotel
As stated in the body of the master plan the implementation of a five
star resort hotel product in the core of Lionshead should be considered
a top priority by the Town of Vail. All reasonable efforts should be
taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate this project. In
conjunction with this redevelopment project should be the
enhancement of the ski yard, the construction of a new skier bridge,
and enhancements of adjacent pedestrian systems according to the
parameters set forth in the master plan.
9.1.2.3 Retail expansion
The expansion of certain ground floor retail buildings, as outlined in
the master plan, is critical to the overall success of the retail/
pedestrian core area. In addition, these projects should incorporate the
enhancement of adjacent pedestrian systems according to the
parameters set forth in the master plan. All reasonable efforts should
be taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate these projects.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-5
- CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMEIv'TATION
9.1.2.4 Concert Hall Plaza/ West Lionshead Pedestrian Portal
While the potential redevelopment of Concert Hall Plaza will be a
private project, it also represents a critical public interest, the creation
of the west Lionshead pedestrian portal. All reasonable efforts should
be taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate this project.
9.1.2.5 West Lionshead IocaU employee housing
The implementation of a significant housing component in west
Lionshead should be an integral part of the potential elimination of the
Sunbird Lodge in the redeveloped Vail Associates core site. The ;
creation of this housing, as outlined in the master plan, may be .
- potentially linked to the realignment of the South Frontage Road, the
creation of a new west Lionshead parking structure, and the additional
development of the West Day Lot and the Vail Associates service yard.
To the greatest extent possible all of these projecfs should be planned
concurrently and all efforts should be taken not to preclude future
projects due to the sequence in which the projects are implemented.
9.2 Implementation impact mitigation
As Lionshead redevelops, especially regarding the potential projects in the pedestrian/
retail core, it is critical that all efforts be taken to minimize the impact on existing
businesses and merchants. Towards that end the following recommendations are made:
9.2.1 Phasing
Construction projects should be phased and/or timed so that no significant area of
Lionshead (such as the retail core) is either isolated or comptetely "shut down" as
a result of construction. While it is recognized that short term impacts will occur,
longer term impacts that would close off shopfronts or block critical pedestrian
circulation patterns should be avoided. To restate, every effort should be made to
maintain pedestrian access during construction projects. ,
9.2.2 Construction mitigation
All future construction projects in Lionshead that have the potential to impact
either public pedestrian corridors or the retail pedestrian mall shall take all
reasonable measures to mitigate these impacts. These impacts could include, but
are not limited to, noise, dust, equipment exhaust, and visual impacts. Potential
mitigation measures could include the creative use of construction fencing ( such
as the "kidzone" construction barriers utilized both in Beaver Creek and the Vail
Village), staging areas, and the timing of particularly disruptive or noisy
construction events.
9.2.3 Marketing
In addition to the construction mitigation measure mention above, specia]
marketing efforts are recommended to help draw consumers into Lionshead
during these construction periods.
PaGE 9-6 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION ~
9.2.4 Short term relocation .
While lagistically difficult, the Town of Vail should work in concert with
redevelopment projects to pursue potential short term retail relocation space
within the Lionshead area. If the proposed develogment on the south face of the
parking structure is in place, these ground floor retail/ office spaces could
potentially provide this short term need.
9.3 Financing
The following potential financing tools could be utilized by the Town of Vail to both - implement public improvement projects and provide incentives for private development.
This discussion is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of financial tools, nor is it
certain that all of the following mechanisms will prove over time to be the best or most
successful means of implementing the master plan. This discussion does not address the
potential legal issues that may or may not be associated with the individual financial
mechanisms.
9.3.1 Private Development Incentives
9.3.1.1 Parking pay-in-lieu relief
The parking regulations require a parking pay-in-lieu fee be paid for
parking that is not capable of being provided on site. This fee,
currently in excess of $17,000 per required parking space, is a major
inhibitor to the redevelopment of buildings in Lionshead. The
reduction in the total parking requirement, as well as the fee, should be
considered in the implementation of the master plan. This proposal is
particularly relevant to projects that can demonstrate a negligible
impact on parking generation.
9.3.1.2 Parking requirement reduction
The current parking regulations do not account for the high degree of
pedestrian traffic and mass transit that occurs in Vail. These
regulations are based on more suburban type parking impacts where
trip-chaining is not as significant as in a resort community such as
Lionshead. Parking for uses in the Lionshead area may be over
accessed and therefore create a disincentive for redevelopment by
increasing the cost of development.
9.3.1.3 Density incentives
Density incentives are being recommended in the Lionshead study area
to create enough capital for property owners to seek redevelopment of
existing properties.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-7
~ CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.3.1.4 Tax incentives
The application of tax reductions or tax rebates to aid in the
redevelopment of existing properties should be considered. This may
help property owners defray.interest and other recurring costs
associated redevelopment. Any potential tax incentives must be
balanced with the need to generate public revenue for future public
improvements.
9.3.2 Public Improvements 9.3.2.1 Tax increment financing (TIF)
Tax increment financing is one of the major redevelopment financing
, tools available for redevelopment of Lionshead. Capturing tax funds
that would normally go into the county's coffers and utilizing them
locally to implement public improvements is vital to the
redevelopment of Lionshead. In essence, tax increment financing is a
tool where the anticipated incremental increase in tax revenues
resulting from new development is captured and dedicated to retiring
bonds used to finance this new development. Utilized within a defined
district (such as a downtown development authority district), TIF
bonding capacity is based upon the amount of incremental increase in
tax revenue beyond the "frozen base" of existing tax revenue that does
not change its allocation. In other words, TIF financing does not raise
taxes, it reallocates or targets the increased increment of taxes
resulting from improvements within the distriet. While it is very
difficult to forecast potential TIF bonding capacity without knowledge
of all the contributing projects, it is estimated that the Vail Associates
core site (assuming an approximate construction budget of
$150,000,000) would generate approximately $25,000,000 in bonding
capacity.
9.3.2.2 Speciai assessment district
A special assessment district is another method that could be utilized
to fund public improvements in Lionshead. The appeal of this method
is less that the TIF option, as a new taxing district would be created
requiring an affirmative vote of the community under the Tabor
Amendment.
9.3.2.3 Application of impact fees
Assessing redevelopment projects for their impacts to streets and other
infrastructure improvements is another option for funding the
construction of public improvements in Lionshead. This option needs
to be balanced with the incentives being created to encourage
redevelopment. This option should not be developed to the extent that
it proves to be a disincentive to redevelopment.
PAGE 9-8 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
b
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION .
9.3.2.4 Real estate transfer tax (RETT)
The real estate transfer tax will continue to be a source of funding for
public recreation and open space in the Town of Vail. These funds
should be utilized to the maximum extent possible to fund recreation
and open space improvements in Lionshead.
9.3.2.5 Municipal bonds
- Municipal bonds are another tool available for funding public .
improvements. This should be considered an important optioh for
- funding public improvements in Lionshead.
9.3.2.6 Grants
The Town of Vail and private entities should aggressively seek grants
as a source of funding public improvements.
9.4 Revenues and Costs
9.4.1 Revenues
The following data addresses both potential tax and development based public
revenue sources in Lionshead.
9.4.1.1 Tax based revenue
The following information is a brief summary of the complete revenue
impact model conducted by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc.,
submitted to the Town of Vail on June 24th, 1998 (attached as
appendix B). To fully appreciate the context of this data the caveats
and notes associated with the revenue impact model should be read.
The revenue impact model was based on the projected development
- model attached as appendix D. The revenue projections shown in
figure 9.1 are based upon a five story average building height and
assumes the likely full buildout of the study area as described in the
projected development model. In other words, these revenue
projections are based upon the full completion of the development and
redevelopment goals of the masterplan. These revenue projections do
not include the potential TIF bonding capacity described above.
9.4.1.2 Development based revenue .
There are three potential revenue generating projects within the
Lionshead study area located on Town of Vail property. The potential
construction costs and revenue generation of these projects are
described below and shown in figure 9.2
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PaGE 9-9
* CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
a. South face of parking structure. It is assumed that the potential
upper level housing component of this project will not produce any
significant revenue for the town but will only strive to cover its
own construction costs. The estimated construction costs of the
housing component is addressed in section 9.5.2 below. Figure 9.2
represents the construction cost of the retail component only and
does not include any adjacent streetscape enhancements.
b. Infill development at East Lionshead Pedestrian Portal. The . '
- estimate in figure 9.2 assumes a three story building on this site
and that the first floor of this structure will be retail space with the
upper two levels sold fee simple as residential space.
c. Infill development at central pedestrian plaza. The estimate in
figure 9.2 assumes a two story building on this site. Due to
potential public uses in this building (such as public restrooms and
uses associated with activities in the adjacent plaza) only half of
the floor space is being allocated as revenue producing space.

upon "order of magnitude" unit costs and do not represent a fully detailed analysis based
upon a completed design scenario. All costs are based upon 1998 dollars and
construction industry norms. In addition to inflation, issues such as materials, labor, and
transportationl shipping costs may impact the future validity of these figures. These costs
are for cnnceptual planning purposes onlti• and in no way are a substitute for detailed cost
analyses as individual projects are considered over time. All construction cost data is

~ CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.5 Next Steps
The following critical actions will set the stage for the ongoing implementation of the
master plan recommendations.
9.5.1 Joint Funding Agreements
Develop a joint funding agreement with Vail Associates and other development
interests for the purpose of cost sharing public improvements necessary for
increased activity on both Vail Mountain and in Lionshead. This action should be
viewed as a high priority for implementation upon the adoption of the master plan. -
° 9.5.2 Rezoning
The zoning districts and land use regulations relevant to the Lionshead study area
should be updated to reflect and enable the recommendations contained in the
master plan.
9.5.3 Downtown Development Authority
When and if the ongoing Broomfield TIF litigation is resolved, it is strongly
recommended that a downtown development authority (DDA) or another
appropriate TIF bonding district be established for purposes of funding public
improvements in Lionshead.
9.5.4 Parking Analysis
The Town of Vail should conduct an in-depth parking analysis in order to
understand and quantify both parking demand and the appropriate revisions (if
any) that should be made to the existing parking code.
9.5.5 Employee Generation
In accordance with ongoing efforts to provide both locals and employee housing
in the Town of Vail an employee generation ordinance should be pursued.

Implementation
This intent of this chapter is to provide guidance to the Town of Vail as it seeks to implement the
recommendations of this master plan. While recommendations regarding priorities, phasing, and
timing are included they should not be considered so binding that the plan is compromised due to
changing community conditions and priorities. The project priorities listed below are divided
into public and private improvements although it is important to note that many projects will
include joint public and private financing efforts.
9.1 Project Prioritization
9.1.1 Public improvements
The following project list is a suggested prioritization of public improvements. It
does not necessarily include all of the potential public improvements outlined in
the master plan but rather examines both the importance and inter-relationship of
the following projects. Issues of cost and funding availability will almost
certainly influence future implementation decisions. For example, the
construction of a Gore Creek recreation path by-pass is not as critical as the North
Day Lot transportation center to the overall master plan but might be implemented
sooner due to its lesser expense and access to RETT funds.
9.1.1.1 North Day Lot transit center
This component is critically important to the overall implementation of
the Lionshead Master Plan due to the foilowing reasons:
a. It is a prerequisite to other critical projects
It will be impossible or very difficult to proceed with the following
projects prior to the construction of the transit center:
• East Lionshead Pedestrian Portal. A critical component of this
pedestrian portal is the removal of the existing skier drop-off,
service and delivery, and local/ regional shuttle activity. All of
these activities are relocated to the North Day Lot transit
center. The existing level of service and delivery traffic can be
accommodated in the proposed surface facility on the west end
of the parking structure, but this is a short term solution that
does not provide for expanded service and delivery needs.
• Concert Hall Plaza redevelopment. The master plan
recommends the removal of the existing Concert Hall Plaza
transit stop in order to create a both a larger redevelopment
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-1
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
parcel and to enhance the west Lionshead pedestrian portal.
While this transit stop could feasibly be eliminated today, this
stop will likely be replaced in the North Day Lot transit facility.
• Vail Community Civic Center. The removal of the charter
buses from the future civic center site will necessitate
providing a pick-up and drop-off point at the North Day Lot
transit center.
• Retail Expansion. The critical component of retail expansion
in the Lionshead pedestrian core will necessitate the creation of
new service and delivery facilities, targeted by the master plan
to occur at the North Day Lot transit center. In addition a
, significant amount of current service and delivery traffic on
West Lionshead Circle occurs illegally in the fire lane south of
the Landmark Townhomes and in the street. This existing
service and delivery traffic is targeted to occur in the Noith Day
Lot transit center as well.
b. New North Lionshead pedestrian portal
One of the primary planning components of the North Day Lot
transit center is the creation of a new major point of entry into the
pedestrian/ retail core. This new influx of pedestrian traffic will
help energize and provide viability to the retailers on the western
end of the core area.
9.1.1.2 East Lionshead pedestrian portal
The East Lionshead pedestrian portal is the single heaviest utilized
point of entry into both Lionshead and the entire Vail resort (based
upon skier numbers accessing the mountain). The implementation of
the master plan's recommendations for this portal will arguably have
the most significant impact on the character and visual perception of
the study area.
9.1.1.3 West Lionshead pedestrian portal
While the West Lionshead pedestrian portal is a critical component to
the functionality of the overall retail core, it is dependent on the
redevelopment of at least one private property (Concert Hall Plaza). It
is strongly recommended that the Town of Vail work with these
property owners to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate this
important project.
9.1.1.4 Pedestrian/ retail core public space improvements
Second or equal in importance to the Lionshead pedestrian portals is
the quality of the pedestrian/ retail mall itself. The recommendations
made in the site design guidelines for the "primary pedestrian mall" are
critical to this improvement. It is recommended that the
PAGE9-2 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
implementation of these improvements be financially linked (to a
reasonable extent) to the redevelopment and expansion of the adjacent
properties including but not limited to the Vail Associates core site.
9.1.1.5 Sidewalk and streetscape improvements
These enhancements to Lionshead's streets and pedestrian circulation
patterns are important both functionalty and visually. While key
connections and improvements could be undertaken solely by the
Town of Vail, it is recommended that many be financially linked (to a
reasonable extent) to the development, redevelopment and expansion
of adjacent properties.
9.1.1.6 Development on south face of parking structure and East
Lionshead Circle streetscape
This project includes two important elements: the creation of a
retail/commercial and housing component and the enhancement of the
East Lionshead Circle pedestrian corridor. While these projects can
"stand alone", or occur prior to adjacent projects, they are closely
related to the East Lionshead pedestrian portal, the Vail Community
Civic Center, the addition of parking decks to the existing parking
structure, and the streetscape connection along West Meadow Drive to
the Vail Village. The Town of Vail's efforts regarding locals and
employee housing could cause these projects to take on a higher
priority.
9.1.1.7 South Frontage Road re-alignment and improvements
The improvements needed on the South Frontage Road, such as
widening and the creation of acceleration and deceleration lanes, will
become more critical as properties redevelop and potentially add
density to Lionshead. The timing of these improvements will be a
function of both the redevelopment of Lionshead and the ability of the
Town of Vail to finance the improvements. Potential realignment
scenarios will be tied closely to the development of the West Day lot
and the Vail Associates service yard. While the projects that will
require these road improvements will occur over time, it is likely that
the improvements will be required to happen either all at once or in
significant phases. A system of impact fees on projects adding density
or traffic volume to Lionshead is a potential means of long term
funding. It is important to note that portions of the South Frontage
Road improvements are needed now (acceleration/ deceleration lanes,
signage, etc.), making them more difficult to "charge" to individual ,
future projects.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PaGE 9-3
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.1.1.8 Parking
As outlined in the body of the master plan the need for a new parking
deck on the existing structure could possibly be justified today. Given
this, the addition of parking will be a function of justified need based
upon the parameters of the master plan and any future parking demand
studies. The issue of additional decks for the existing structure or a
new public structure in west Lionshead is tied closely to the
construction of the Vail Community Civic Center and the potential
nearer term development of the West Day Lot and Vail Associates
service yard. In any case, the development of the West Day Lot will
necessitate replacement of this existing private parking through either
structured or an adjacent surface lot. If future parking studies
demonstrate a need for significant public parking in the west
Lionshead area, a joint venture between Vail Associates, the Town of
Vail, and other potential development interests should be considered.
9.1.1.9 Vail Community Civic Center
Projects that must be in place prior to the implementation of the Vail
Community Civic Center are the addition of parking to the existing
Lionshead parking structure and the relocation of the charter bus
parking lot. In addition, this project will be integrally tied to the
development on the south face of the Lionshead parking structure and
the streetscape enhancements along East Lionshead Circle. This
project will be monumental in nature and is likely to occur after a
longer period of both planning and fund raising. It is not
recommended that this project be implemented at the expense of the
previously outlined actions or other more critical elements of the
master plan.
9.1.1.10 West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place realignment
The realignment of this intersection, while important, is not critical to
the overall Lionshead masterplan implementation. It is recommended
that this project be implemented as part of the redevelopment process
of adjacent buildings. Projects that could be linked to this realignment
are the Vail Associates core site redevelopment (due to the potential
increase in traffic volume accessing the core site via Lionshead Place),
and the potential redevelopment of Concert Hall Plaza. While the
Concert Hall Plaza redevelopment may not increase the volume of
traffic on West Lionshead Circle, it will facilitate the creation of the
west Lionshead pedestrian portal of which this intersection is a critical
. component.
PAGE9-4 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPIv1ENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.1.1.11 Gore Creek Corridor improvements
The Gore Creek Corridor improvements outlined in the master plan
will greatly enhance the experience of both locals and the Lionshead
guest but are not critically important to the overall functionality of
Lionshead. However, these projects are more isolated from adjoining,
or triggering, projects and may be significantly easier to implement,
both financially and logistically. While they should not supercede or
slow the implementation of more critical plan elements they do
represent a significant benefit to Lionshead and their implementation
should be diligently pursued.
. 9.1.2 Private improvements
9.1.2.1 Individual property redevelopment and exterior renovations
The improvements of individual properties through redevelopment,
site enhancement, and exterior renovations is critical to the
accomplishment of the overall master plan goals. Toward that end it is
recommended that the Town of Vail take all reasonable efforts to
create incentives, encourage, and facilitate these important projects.
While this master plan provides guidance and a framework for possible
renewal and redevelopment projects, the specific recommendations of
the plan, including the architectural design guidelines, are not intended
to create a disincentive for either redevelopment or exterior
renovations. If, over time, any component of the plan proves to create
a disincentive for desired renewal or redevelopment, that plan
component should be considered for revision.
9.1.2.2 Core site hotel
As stated in the body of the master plan the implementation of a five
star resort hotel product in the core of Lionshead should be considered
a top priority by the Town of Vail. All reasonable efforts should be
taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate this project. In
conjunction with this redevelopment project should be the
enhancement of the ski yard, the construction of a new skier bridge,
and enhancements of adjacent pedestrian systems according to the
parameters set forth in the master plan.
9.1.2.3 Retail expansion
The expansion of certain ground floor retail buildings, as outlined in
the master plan, is critical to the overall success of the retail/
pedestrian core area. In addition, these projects should incorporate the
enhancement of adjacent pedestrian systems according to the
parameters set forth in the master plan. All reasonable efforts should
be taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate these projects.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PaGE 9-5
_ CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.1.2.4 Concert Hall Plaza/ West Lionshead Pedestrian Portal
While the potential redevelopment of Concert Hall Plaza will be a
private project, it also represents a critical public interest, the creation
of the west Lionshead pedestrian portal. All reasonable efforts should
be taken to provide incentive, encourage, and facilitate this project.
9.1.2.5 West Lionshead locaV employee housing
The implementation of a significant housing component in west
Lionshead should be an integral part of the potential elimination of the
Sunbird Lodge in the redeveloped Vail Associates core site. The
creation of this housing, as outlined in the master plan, may be
potentially linked to the realignment of the South Frontage Road, the
creation of a new west Lionshead parking structure, and the additional
development of the West Day Lot and the Vail Associates service yard.
To the greatest extent possible all of these projects should be pfanned
concurrently and all efforts should be taken not to preclude future
projects due to the sequence in which the projects are implemented.
9.2 Implementation impact mitigation
As Lionshead redevelops, especially regarding the potential projects in the pedestrian/
retail core, it is critical that all efforts be taken to minimize the impact on existing
businesses and merchants. Towards that end the following recommendations are made:
9.2.1 Phasing
Construction projects should be phased and/or timed so that no significant area of
Lionshead (such as the retail core) is either isolated or completely "shut down" as
a result of construction. While it is recognized that short term impacts will occur,
longer term impacts that would close off shopfronts or block critical pedestrian
circulation patterns should be avoided. To restate, every effort should be made to
maintain pedestrian access during construction projects.
9.2.2 Construction mitigation
All future construction projects in Lionshead that have the potential to impact
either public pedestrian corridors or the retail pedestrian mall shall take all
reasonable measures to mitigate these impacts. These impacts could include, but
are not limited to, noise, dust, equipment exhaust, and visual impacts. Potential
mitigation measures could include the creative use of construction fencing ( such
as the "kidzone" construction barriers utitized both in Beaver Creek and the Vail
Village), staging areas, and the timing of particularly disruptive or noisy
construction events.
PAGE 9-6 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.2.3 Marketing
In addition to the construction mitigation measure mention above, special
marketing efforts are recommended to help draw consumers into Lionshead
during these construction periods. 9.2.4 Short term relocation
While logistically difficult, the Town of Vail should work in concert with
redevelopment projects to pursue potential short term retail relocation space
within the Lionshead area. If the proposed development on the south face of the
parking structure is in place, these ground floor retail/ office spaces could
potentially provide this short term need.
9.3 Financing
The following potential financing tools could be utilized by the Town of Vail to botfi
• implement public improvement projects and provide incentives for private development.
This discussion is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of financial tools, nor is it
certain that all of the following mechanisms will prove over time to be the best or most
successful means of implementing the master plan. This discussion does not address the
potential iegal issues that may or may not be associated with the individual financial
mechanisms.
9.3.1 Private Development Incentives
9.3.1.1 Parking pay-in-lieu relief
The parking regulations require a parking pay-in-lieu fee be paid for
parking that is not capable of being provided on site. This fee,
currently in excess of $17,000 per required parking space, is a major
inhibitor to the redevelopment of buildings in Lionshead. The
reduction in the total parking requirement, as well as the fee, should be
considered in the implementation of the master plan. This proposal is
particularly relevant to projects that can demonstrate a negligible
impact on parking generation.
9.3.1.2 Parking requirement reduction
The current parking regulations do not account for the high degree of
pedestrian traffic and mass transit that occurs in Vail. These
regulations are based on more suburban type parking impacts where
trip-chaining is not as significant as in a resort community such as
Lionshead. Parking for uses in the Lionshead area may be over
accessed and therefore create a disincentive for redevelopment by
increasing the cost of development.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-7
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.3.1.3 Density incentives
Density incentives are being recommended in the Lionshead study area
to create enough capital for property owners to seek redevelopment of
existing properties.
9.3.1.4 Tax incentives
The application of tax reductions or tax rebates to aid in the
redevelopment of existing properties should be considered. This may
help property owners defray interest and other recurring costs
associated redevelopment. Any potential tax incentives must be
balanced with the need to generate public revenue for future public
improvements.
9.3.2 Public Improvements
9.3.2.1 Tax increment financing (TIF)
Tax increment financing is one of the major redevelopment financing
tools available for redevelopment of Lionshead. Capturing tax funds
that would normally go into the county's coffers and utilizing them
locally to implement public improvements is vital to the
redevelopment of Lionshead. In essence, tax increment financing is a
tool where the anticipated incremental increase in tax revenues
resulting from new development is captured and dedicated to retiring
bonds used to finance this new development. Utilized within a defined
district (such as a downtown development authority district), TIF
bonding capacity is based upon the amount of incremental increase in
tax revenue beyond the "frozen base" of existing tax revenue that does
not change its allocation. In other words, TIF financing does not raise
taxes, it reallocates or targets the incrensed increment of taxes
resulting from improvements within the district. While it is very
difficult to forecast potential TIF bonding capacity without knowledge
of all the contributing projects, it is estimated that the Vail Associates
core site (assuming an approximate construction budget of
$150,000,000) would generate approximately $25,000,000 in bonding
capacity.
9.3.2.2 Special assessment district
A special assessment district is another method that could be utilized
to fund public improvements in Lionshead. The appeal of this method
is less that the TIF option, as a new taxing district would be created
requiring an affirmative vote of the community under the Tabor
Amendment.
PAGE 9-8 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.3.2.3 Application of impact fees
Assessing redevelopment projects for their impacts to streets and other
infrastructure improvements is another option for funding the
construction of public improvements in Lionshead. This option needs
to be balanced with the incentives being created to encourage
redevelopment. This option should not be developed to the extent that
it proves to be a disincentive to redevelopment.
9.3.2.4 Real estate transfer tax (RETT)
The real estate transfer tax will continue to be a source of funding for
public recreation and open space in the Town of Vail. These funds
should be utilized to the maximum extent possible to fund recreation
. and open space improvements in Lionshead.
9.3.2.5 Municipal bonds
~
Municipal bonds are another tool available for funding public
improvements. This should be considered an important option for
funding public improvements in Lionshead.
9.3.2.6 Grants
The Town of Vail and private entities should aggressively seek grants
as a source of funding public improvements.
9.4 Revenues and Costs
9.4.1 Revenues
The following data addresses both potential tax and development based public
revenue sources in Lionshead.
9.4.1.1 Tax based revenue
The following information is a brief summary of the complete revenue
impact model conducted by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc.,
submitted to the Town of Vail on June 24`h, 1998 (attached as
appendix B). To fully appreciate the context of this data the caveats
and notes associated with the revenue impact model should be read.
The revenue impact model was based on the projected development
model attached as appendix D. The revenue projections shown in
figure 9.1 are based upon a five story average building height and
assumes the likely fiill buildocct of the study area as described in the
projected development model. In other words, these revenue
projections are based upon the full completion of the development and
redevelopment goals of the masterplan. These revenue projections do
not include the potential TIF bonding capacity described above.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTERPLAN PAGE 9-9
CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.4.1.2 Development based revenue
There are three potential revenue generating projects within the
Lionshead study area located on Town of Vail property. The potential
construction costs and revenue generation of these pro}ects are
described below and shown in figure 9.2
a. South face of parking structure. It is assumed that the potential
upper level housing component of this project will not produce any
significant revenue for the town but will only strive to cover its
own construction costs. The estimated construction costs of the
housing component is addressed in section 9.5.2 below. Figure 9.2
represents the construction cost of the retail component only and
does not include any adjacent streetscape enhancements.
b. Infill development at East Lionshead Pedestrian Portal. Th'e
estimate in figure 9.2 assumes a three story building on this site
and that the first floor of this structure will be retail space with the
upper two levels sold fee simple as residential space.
a. Incremental recurring revenues

c. Infill development at central pedestrinn plaza. The estimate in
figure 9.2 assumes a two story building on this site. Due to
potential public uses in this building (such as public restrooms and
uses associated with activities in the adjacent plaza) only half of
the floor space is being allocated as revenue producing space.

CHAPTER 9 IMPLEMENTATION
9.5 Next Steps
The following critical actions will set the stage for the ongoing implementation of the
master plan recommendations.
9.5.1 Joint Funding Agreements
Develop a joint funding agreement with Vail Associates and other development
interests for the purpose of cost sharing public improvements necessary for
increased activity on both Vail Mountain and in Lionshead. This action should be
viewed as a high priority for implementation upon the adoption of the master plan.
9.5.2 Rezoning
The zoning districts and land use regulations relevant to the Lionshead study area
should be updated to reflect and enable the recommendations contained in the
master plan. -
9.5.3 Downtown Development Authority
When and if the ongoing Broomfield TIF litigation is resolved, it is strongly
recommended that a downtown development authority (DDA) or another
appropriate TIF bonding district be established for purposes of funding public
improvements in Lionshead.
9.5.4 Parking Analysis
The Town of Vail should conduct an in-depth parking analysis in order to
understand and quantify both parking demand and the appropriate revisions (if
any) that should be made to the existing parking code.
9.5.5 Employee Generation
In accordance with ongoing efforts to provide both locals and employee housing
in the Town of Vail an employee generation ordinance should be pursued.

RE: Matters Concerning the Community Task Force and Civic Center Site
The attached memo and supporting documentation have been forwarded to the Toum
Council regarding issues associated with the Community Task Force and the Civic Center Site.
The Mayor and the Town Manager were not pleased with the content of the memorandum.
However, others on the Town Council did not share the Mayor's and Manager's objections to the
memo. The Mayor was cautioned by some members of the Council. In summary they said, the
Mayor's efforts on behalf of the Vail Valley Foundation, that may affect the disposition of the Civ-
ic Center Site, should avoid creating any perception that the circumstances suirounding the up-
coming "private" discussions were being used to influence the Town Council's position with
respect to the community facilities planning effort, currently underway.
It is reported that the Mayor was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Vail Valley
Foundation, after being elected to the Town Council. The "private" discussions conceming the
need for community facilities are being financed by Vail Associates and the Vail Valley
Foundation.
Underlying the criticisms raised in the memo is a growing perception in the communily
that Vail Associates is setting in motion efforts to entrepreneurialize sites that are presently desig-
nated for public use or zoned for non-commercial development. Additionally, there is a percep-
tion that the Vail Valley Foundation uses the community's public facilities for its extensive
schedule of events but does not contribute to the major renovation or construction of public facili-
ties in the community. The Foundation is the recipient of major philanthropic contributions from
area property owners.
In recent months, tfiere has been considerable public turmoil over the Common Ground
Affordable Housing issue. Government leaders have expended a substantial amount of personal
prestige, energy and political capital on the issue. A few are the recipients of expanding criticism
for unnecessarily creating a contentious political environment. Likewise, Vail Associates have
undertaken actions resulting in the stimulation throughout the community of a similarly truculent
business and political environment. As a result, many in the local population are in a sta.te of
agitation because of a perceived threat to their economic and social well-being. Those who are
most agitated are being motivated to seek public office on a platform that could reverse many of
the positive accomplishments attained by the present Town Council. The next town council elec-
tion will be held one year hence.
For many local residents, an effort to build a community center, on the last remaining un-
developed portion of the Civic Center Site, located at the east end of the Lionshead Parking Struc-
ture, has become a symbol around which to reassert the local community's spirit and self esteem.

EVHA:BOD/JFL - Matters Concerning the Community Task Force and Civic Center Site
11/4/1998
The importance of the Civic Center site, to include uses that underpin the community's flagging
economy and spirit, is critical to the overall viability of the community and the resort. Over the
past 15 years, the long litany of failed efforts by political insiders to generate a consensus for a
public facility on the site creates an added burden of public scrutiny and cynicism to any current
effort to develop the site, no matter how altruistic the intention. Dobson Arena and the Vail Public
Library were built on the Civic Center Site after the land was acquired by the Town of Vail during
the mid-1970's.
The continued stagnation of Vail's economy has caused public officials to begin the con-
sideration of raising property taxes to sustain the operation of local government. Meanwhile, the
Community Task Force, the group charged with masterminding the regeneration of the local
economy, after nearly three years of effort, continues to spin its wheels in arcane debate behind-
_ closed-doors.
Furthermore, the Community Task Force is the well spring of the Vail Tomoirow and
Common Ground processes. The Vail Tomarrow process was partially funded by Vail Associ-
ates. In many people's judgment, these purported consensus building programs, costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars, have directly contributed to an accelerated fragmentation of the communi-
ty's body politic. In these people's view, with the cunent economic and political conditions, the
community cannot afford another manipulative and fractious consensus building program, particu-
larly if it is sanctioned by the Community Task Force and financed by private special interests.
There is a growing call for a complete reorganization of the community's current economic devel-
opment leadership, institutions and methodology.
It is for these reasons that the step was taken, in a discreet manner, to assert firmly the
concern of the Homeowners Association with these issues. The Association's memorandum is in-
tended to bring each issue into sharp and abrupt focus in a way that will cause fundamental inh-o-
spection by all concerned parties.

, Re: Wednesday afternoon meetings
We are updating the Council on the status of the meetings that were open to all who
wanted to discuss Common Ground on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Community
Development. The first week that the meetings were held we had a small number of
people arrive to discuss items on the matrix. Recently, Guy Aiyualt came to discuss the
Mountain Bell site. Andy and Guy drove out and walked around the site.
Since this meeting no one else has shown up. We said that we would update the Council
on what was discussed at these meetings. Unless people show up in the future there will
not be further updates on the Wednesday afternoon meetings.

The full Board meets 4 times per year regularly, with occasional extra meetings called for
sgecia1 purpc>ses. Gu:dance fror.: varv~:s ssctcrs of uhe :'all-y is c7i~cK1. :tiTew zoices i::
our planning will contribute to our understanding of what is possible. Please help us to
find a Town government individual who would be inierested in serving on our Boaxd.
, Have them contact our offices at 476.0103 and ask to speak with Elizabeth Robechek.
We will followup with more details---however, time is of the essence. We will be voting
on other new Board member on Friday, the 30th. In the planning stage is our Annual
Meeting to be held on Friday; November 13, 1998, at the Singletree Community Center

MEMORANDUM
To: The Vail Town Council
From: Andy Knudtsen
Kris Widlak
Date: November 6, 1998
RE: Letter from Josette Elias regarding her tier status in the Red Sandstone Lottery
Per the Town of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines, employment and residency points for
our affordable housing lottery system are based on current and consecutive documented
years of longevity within Eagle County. Using this criteria, persons leaving Eagle County
for more than 6 months and 1 day and then returning do not receive points for
employment and residency prior to that departure. After carefully reviewing the
Guidelines with Tom Moorhead, we have determined that the scoring system does not
allow for exceptions of any type.
Josette Elias is an applicant in the Red Sandstone Local's Housing Lottery. In Ms. Elias'
application, she states that she "returned to college to finish degree," "left Vail for 1 year
and 10 months," and was "employed in Denver 1/95-11/96." Based on that information,
we scored her application from November 1996 forward. This is in accordance with the
Housing Guidelines, and placed Ms. Elias in the forth tier of the lottery.
At this time, she is protesting the number of points allotted to her because she did not
want to disclose that the actual reason for her absence was medical. Unfortunately,
regardless of the reason for absence, we cannot count her previous years in the Valley.
We recommend that Ms. Elias' current tier status remain as is. Until such time as the
Town of Vail Housing Guidelines are modified to allow for exceptions in longevity, we
ask that you uphold the Guidelines as written. Maintaining the "squeaky clean" track
record of our lottery system will build credibility with the community now and over time.
Staff plans to bring the Employee Housing Guidelines, in their entirety, to the Town
Council in the Spring of 1999 to review several minor modifications/clarifications which
have been requested by the community and/or would improve the clarity of the Guidelines.
If the Council would like to see changes in the longevity requirements, staff will draft
proposed text for the Council to review in conjunction with the other proposed
modifications.

Re: Red sandstone Lottery Application
; To all Town Councii Members, I received the Tier letter status of the breakdowns for the selections for Red Sandstone
Lottery November 5, 1998. I noticed that i was a Tier IV candidate wiih an
accumuiation of up to 12 points, a status rating of less than 5 years. My application
sta#us ot longevity of employment and residency in the city limits o# the Town o# Vail
has a total of 30 years. 1 immediately drove to the Town of Vait Department of
Communi#y Development and inquired about the aogis#ics or error in this decision. I
spoke with Kris Widlak, as Mr. Knudsen was not in his office. She explained to me that
my 30 year historical residency held no validity, as I had a departure of one year,
which was included in the Lottery application. The reason in the application given, was
I!eft to #inish College, as I did not want to disclose #he real reason o# medical leave of
absence, due to treatment and personal nature of my malady.
Per historical data on longevity of a 30 year residency, credit given based on my
medical leave of absence from the city limits of the Town of Vaif, t was given credit for 3
years residency. My historical da#a of 29 years is completely revoked, and as an
Eagle County voter, who has voted in all elections, this is an affront to my person. The
Department of Community Developmen# Arbi#rary interpre#ation to invalidate his#orical
residency is disabling. 1 have documentation to my one year medical leave departure
from ihe city Gmits o# the Town of Vail, and ! can submit this Monday November 9,
1998 or Tuesday November 10, 1998 to augment my stance.
. What recourse o# appeal to the administration t do ! have?

Ntitt~ Lot ~t~ a tratisportation cern~:r. c)ne member o.f your canneil told rrxe that the reaSc~n,
fcir creatiag a traTasportation eetater in the North l.ot was to get people to walk through atl
of L:ionshead and ftequent its stv.res. 'Thase people 5'~aYing iin Lionshead are aware of thc
stoxes there. Those people Who cQmz in from the viltage knaw that nnany of these stores
are dupYicates af what is in the v.iltage - even the CFeneral Stare has the sante owners and
similar merchandise as Rucksack. T.f ihere were more unique stores people wouid certaimTy be willing to walk the exrtra block_ Also, at what cosc would this be to tbc •
residents and reders in this area? ,
Please aonsider the fact that you w't.il increase the nuise, congestipn and pa![utevn to
residents of the La.ndmax'k, the Westwind a.s weil. as other residerts in the area. We wilt
tear knises comins an and oi-it day and night. In aciditiory whax vvill becarm of aur

could kie ptofctable. Why n,ot have additional condos, offiees, ar m con£exence i;enter and
• have a ciraulax driveway for both entranr.es dawn th,e anidd.le. Flowezbeds could be
added and this coui.d be made into an artractive and usefvl area.
Xf you reaDy telieve tha.t noise and pollution is nnt a factor then why not reguire the
builde.r, vf the new hotel to create an attractive tr.ansportation port behind has hotel and -
next to the mountain. It coutd be used to better servicce hxs hotel and of course be utilized :
bv the rest of Lionshead. It would also be Iegs disruptive to the rest of Lxonshead dui'in8 '
~ the hatcl's canstructic7n since building supplie.s, ete. could be delivered to thE back af'ea of

We .really, lwWEVCr, don't understand why the bnses can not rennain wherc they are now,
at both +ends of I .ionshead. We've never hea,rd one wmplaint fronn anyone we kaaw.
Most people fell;us the free bus Service is wonderfui and convenient_ Maybe you need to
ie a.n outsider to see how much this service is appreeiated. 'UVhy, we wonder, Cx
someth,ittg,that's not broken?
-Second uf ali, we'd appreciate ocac:e again if you_ would rmonsider the height factor in
L.ionshead. We understand tiaere witl. be setbacks but axtythittg as ktigh as $5' is just too
high for a pretty little resari towm [ike Vail. 'rhe taet thai there are buildings now that are

~ We feel that eve.ry decision that is made and everY FennYtlat is spent should uttirnately have ope thing in mind and onc thing only- malring Vail better- not busaec, not rwisier,
not rnore congested. Not only won't yaur resicl,ents like it, but your visitors won't either.
We hore yna will give all ofour camments and feelings some consideration. 'UVe know

In discussing the matter with Bob Galvin and members of the Board of Directors, Bob Galvin's
best summarized the Board's position. He said, "The position stated in the memorandum is
consistent
with the Association's published position regarding the Community Task Force, the Civic Center
Site and related matters.
Also, it is often more difficult to accept constructive criticism from one's friends than it is
from one's adveraries." Jim

RE: Matters Concerning the Community Task Force and Civic Center Site
The attached memo and supporting documentation have been forwarded to the Town
Couricil regarding issues associated with the Community Task Force and the Civic Center Site.
The Mayor and the Town Manager were not pleased with the content of the memorandum.
However, others on the Town Council did not share the Mayor's and Manager's objections to the
merrno. The Mayor was cautioned by some members of the Council. In summary they said, the
Mayor's efforts on behalf of the Vail Valley Foundation, that may affect the disposition of the Civ-
ic Csnter Site, should avoid creating any perception that the circumstances surrounding the up-
comrng "private" discussions were being used to influence the Town Council's position with
respect to the community facilities planning effort, currently underway.
It is reported that the Mayor was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Vail Valley
Foundation, after being elected to the Town Council. The "private" discussions concerning the
need for community facilities are being financed by Vail Associates and the Vail Valley
Foundation.
Underlying the criticisms raised in the memo is a growing perception in the community
that Vail Associates is setting in motion efforts to entrepreneurialize sites that are presently desig-
nated for public use or zoned for non-commercial development. Additionally, there is a percep-
tion that the Vail Valley Foundation uses the community's public facilities for its extensive
schedule of events but does not contribute to the major renovation or construction of public facili-
ties in the community. The Foundation is the recipient of major philanthropic contributions from
area property owners.
In recent months, there has been considerable public turmoil over the Common Ground
Affordable Housing issue. Government leaders have expended a substantial amount of personal
prestige, energy and political capital on the issue. A few are the recipients of expanding criticism
for unnecessarily creating a contentious political environment. Likewise, Vail Associates have
undertaken actions resulting in the stimulation throughout the community of a similarly truculent
bus:iness and political environment. As a result, many in the local population are in a state of
agit:ation because of a perceived threat to their economic and social well-being. Those who are
most agitated are being motivated to seek public office on a platform that could reverse many of
the positive accomplishments attained by the present Town Council. The next town council elec-
tion will be held one year hence.
For many local residents, an effort to build a community center, on the last remaining un-
developed portion of the Civic Center Site, located at the east end of the Lionshead Parking Struc-
ture, has become a symbol around which to reassert the local community's spirit and self esteem.

EVHA:BOD/JFL - Matters Concerning the Community Task rorce and Civic Center Site
11/4/1998
The importance of the Civic Center site, to include uses that underpin the community's flagging
economy and spirit, is critical to the overall viability of the community and the resort. Over the
past 15 years, the long litany of failed efforts by political insiders to generate a consensus for a
public facility on the site creates an added burden of public scrutiny and cynicism to any current
effork to develop the site, no matter how altruistic the intention. Dobson Arena and the Vail Public
Library were built on the Civic Center Site after the land was acquired by the Town of Vail during
the rraid-1970's.
The continued stagnation of Vail's economy has caused public officials to begin the con-
sideration of raising property taxes to sustain the operation of local government. Meanwhile, the
Community Task Force, the group charged with masterminding the regeneration of the local
economy, after nearly three years of effort, continues to spin its wheels in arcane debate behind-
closed-doors.
Furthermore, the Community Task Force is the well spring of the Vail Tomorrow and
Common Ground processes. The Vail Tomorrow process was partially funded by Vail Associ-
ates. In many people's judgment, these purported consensus building programs, costing hundreds
of thousands of dollars, have directly contributed to an accelerated fragmentation of the communi-
ly's body politic. In these people's view, with the current economic and political condirions, the
comrnunity cannot afford another manipulative and fractious consensus building program, particu-
larly if it is sanctioned by the Community Task Force and financed by private special interests.
, There is a growing call for a complete reorganization of the communiiy's current economic devel-
opmE;nt leadership, institutions and methodology.
It is for these reasons that the step was taken, in a discreet manner, to assert firmly the
concern of the Homeowners Association with these issues. The Association's memorandum is in-
tende;d to bring each issue into sharp and abrupt focus in a way that will cause fundamental intro-
spection by all concerned parties.

Dear Mr. Ford:
In accordance with the statutes that implement Amendment 16, we are hereby notifying you that
our Staff Recommendation to the Board regarding which parcels should be designated into the
Stewardship Trust is in conflict with your assessment. You have indicated that you support the
designation of the Berry Creek, Arrowhead, and Dowd Junction/Whiskey Creek parcels,
nomiraated by Eagle County. The staff has recommended that these parcels not be included in
the Trust.
We invite you to comment on the staff's recommendation. Comments should be sent to Alden
Whittalcer, Stewardship Trust Coordinator, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 620, Denver, CO 80203
and received by November 15ih 1998. The Board will make preliminary designations at their
meetirig in Denver on November 16-18th. Another comment period will then follow during
which you will be notified of the Board's preliminary designation and have an opportunity to
submit comments again.
I want to make one final point and ask you to keep it in mind as we move through the
designation process: As we have communicated to you before, placing a parcel into the
Stewardship Trust does not guarantee that it will remain "free open space" forever. On the other
hand, a decision not to place a parcel into the Trust does not mean that it will be sold or
develaped in the near term. By law, the State Land Board must manage all of its lands for the
iong-term benetit of its trust beneticiaries. Within that context, the Board is committed to
workirig with local government and other interests to plan a future for each of its trust land
parcels that makes sense both for our beneficiaries and for the community.
Thank you for your interest and participation in the Stewardship Trust. The Board has found
local government feedback to be extremely helpful throughout the designation process.
Sincerely,
harles E. Bedford

To: vailtowncouncil@vail.net
Dear Mayor Ford and Members of the Town Council:
Thank-you for keeping us (second homeowners-who will be primary homeowners in
Vail) apprised of your progress. I have.been very impressed with your work,
although I do have two major concerns:
Average Maximum Height: I think the intent of council and the draft of the
final requlations on the Absolute Maximum Height..could be different. I think
the council wanted to have only a small portion of the roof line to reach 82.5
feet. The way it appears now could allow substantially all of the buildings
to increase their height under your 11 Averaqe Maximum Height" senario.
North Day Lot: I am very concerned about your plans for a transportation
center located on the North Day lot. I shudder to think of the visual, noise,
smell and security concerns my family will be facing if you do not persue a
covered solution as the planners suggested. Also I would strorgly propose
including a physical barrier between the transportation center and the
Landmark as mandated by the plan. •
Please accept my congratulations for a very open process.
Sincerely,
Chris Walter

NOTES FROM OCTOBER 14' MEETING
INSURAIVCE: A Group insurance plan was discussed The Merchants decided that it
was worth looking into and depending on the benefits and how cost effective it was
~ would depend if they would go with a group program with the VVMA.
' TIU! Will take place from November 16" to the 20". The party will be held on Thursday
' the 19th. There will be twelve English sessions and three or four Spanish sessions.
Because of the 99 Championships this year there will be au emphasis on the Intema.tional
aspects of customer service. The cost will be $15.00 per person, which includes the
session and the party. Please make sure that TIU! has the name of all empioyees you are
sending because invitations to the party will be sent to them personatly. If you have not aiready received the TIU! Infarmation in the mail it is also located in the paper daily or
DP ca11328-8113.
JOHN GARNSEY, VAIL VALLEY FOUNDATION: The Championships aze held every
twa years. They have only been held in the US three hmes and Vail is the first site to
repeat holding the Championships since 1969. The 99 Championships will take place
. from January 30'h to February 1e. The opening ceremonies will be held at Ford Park.
z Nine events will be held at Vail and three events will be at Beaver Creek. The foundation
; expects about sixty countries ta participate, with an entourage af about 7000 people.
~One of the problems that Merchants felt hurt them during the 89 Championsiups
was that many people did not come for fear of Vail being to crowded. This time around
there is a huge advertising effort being made so this is not a problem. There will be
advertising in the Denver Post, 16`h Street Mall, US West Phonebooks and DIA. During
the Championships there will be desks in the Denver and Eagle Airports. There will be
250 hours of international coverage estimated to be in 500 million homes, in the US there
will be 7.5 hrs on NBC and 14 hours on ESPN, which will be in 50 miilion homes as well
as locai broadcasting.
The Viilage Transportation Center will be the main registration headquarters.
There will be an Expo on top of the structure that will have licensed 99 retail
merchandise, booths for different sponsois, food and entertainment. The faundation
made a point of saying they want to energize the village with the Expo and not ta.ke
' business away from the MerchatYts. Therefore, they are going to shut down the Expa in
the eady evemngs. The ski races will take up only 3% of Vail and Beaver Creek
Mountains. The most effected area on Vail will be in the mornings and during the races
the area around the Vista Bahn and Chair l.
There will be a garade on November 14t` which will end with a concert and street
r, party. Do the merchants want to have a float? Any volunteers? Lift tickets this day
' . should be $19.99.
This is going to be a great event and should do a lot for the Vail econoray.
' Everyone is expecting these Championships to exceed the 89 Championships. In 89, 50
; million dollars were brought into the state with 18 miIlion being braught into the Vail
Va11ey. In 89 the Chatnpionslvps put Vail on the inteznationa.l map and this year shauld
do even more to show what a first class resort Vail is.
