MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: . Community Development Department
DATE: November 9, 1998
SUBJECT: A request for a variance from Section. 12-8A-1 1 of the Town of Vail ~
Municipal Code, to allow for parking and loading,within required setbacks,
located at 598 Vail Valley Dnve/A portion of Tract B, Vail Village T" 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 Ioading within 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 apprpval was conditioned on
Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop-off' zone. At that time, Ski CI"ub Vail leased additional parking spaces from Ramshom Condominiums. This lease agreement is no
tonger 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 loading problems on site before the PEC for approval.
Parkinq and Riqht-of-Wav 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
Club 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 Vail affiliates.
Additionally, signage which reflects applicable restrictions on parking will need to be provided
by the applicant.

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
patential 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 !ot 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 tumaround access and that
(oading/unloading at Ski Club 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 (fo 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 befieves that the granting of this variance would be a grant of
special privilege. Under the Agricultural/Open Space zoning, Ski Club
Vail operates on a non-conforming lot with a serious parkinglloading
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 Ciub 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 Planninp and Environmental Commission shall make the followin,-q
findincas before qrantinq a variance•
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
pnvilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary.circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners
of other properties in the same district.
5
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends deniai 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 wetfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Should the Planning and Envitonmental Commission choose to approve this reguest, the .
, Community Development Departmenf recommends the following.conditions:
' 1. That the approval be limited to a period of one year between 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
6th, 1998 be fulfilled in their entirety.
3. That an agreement be established between the Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail
for the management (maintenance, signage, enforcement) of parking,on this
property.

RE: Golden Peak Parking/Congestion
'What follows reflects our understanding of commitments made by Ski Club Vail, Vail Associates,
and the Town of Vail in regard to parking, loading and unloading, drop-offand other vehicular areas
of congestion:
Short Term Solutions, January through April, 1998, Only:
- 1: The lot north of the new Golden Peal: faciliny rema'rns 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.
Sld 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 mornina. 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 corrunit to plowing through the horseshoe as long as vehicles
are moved by 8:00 a.m. daily.
Ski Club Vail will commit to keeping their vans out of the Ski Club Vail horseshoe area at
peak times in the aftemoon. Although the Town of Vail will continue to use guest services
expertise and persona] discretion, this does not mean tickets will not be issued to unattended
- vehicles. Unattended vehicles wzll be ticketed and possibly towed at the owner's eYpense.
Fo11owine an educational period that began prior to Thanksgiving foL::wed by written
R6'C}'CLF.DPAPER
, education handed directly to parents and users of the Golden Peak azea since December 12,
1997, the Police Department will continue to educate through the weekend of. January l Oth,
with 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 Ski Club Vail participants.
Long Term Solutions:
l. The Town of Vail (Bob McLaurin) will commit to discussing witli the Town Council a
temporary only use of pazking 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 Ski 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 facility. 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.

DATE: October 9, 1998
REF: Ski Club Vail
A request has been made by Ski Club Vail to uparade the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive
and allow loading and unloadinc., benveen Golden Peak and the Ski Club Vail facilin-.
Afrer review•inQ this request-with my staff, I want to expre.ss my very stronQ opposition to -
- this request due to it's neQative impact on pedestrian safety, traffic flow and especially
. our bus system in that area.
Since the redevelopment of Golden Peak, cars stoppin-I on the shoulder of Vail Vailey
Drive, or pulling up onto the sidewalks, have caused traffic delays in the area. From
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 exactly the same. The car doors tly open
and suddenlv adults and children are steppina into the traffic lane causina others cars to
come to a stop. The result is an immediate traffic jam on Vail Valley Drive whieh often
times backs traffic up all the way out to the frontaQe road. Town of Vail busses aet caught
in the jam whi:.h then slows down the entire in- town route. Evening loadin- creates the
same p:obler_1s as cars pull off to the side and wait for skiers to walk to their cars, or often
time parents leave their cars and Qo in search of their children. During holidavs and busy
:ends police officers and CEOs have been stationed in the area to keep trafFc
mo%,inR. On numerous occasions thouoh, every on-duty police officer and CEO have been
required to respond to the area.
Our most effective traffic manaQement strategv has been to prevent any cars from
stoppin(T on the side of the road to unload. This results in the free movement of traffic and
the 2reatest safetv for pedestrians. AllowinL, Ski Club Vail to establish a loading and
unioadin- zone on the roadside will onlv result in once azain havina sianificant traffic
jams on `%ail Valley Drive. T11e number of Sl:i Club Vail members arrivin, at the same
time in the mornin; will far exceed the number of spaces on the side of the~road. By the
,ii.1e a S~:i Club Vail driver gets to the proposed unloadin~ zone, he/she will have passed
, the un]oadinR zones at Golden Peal;. Seein2 the SCV unloadina zone full, a driver will
1-1101~t lii:ely pull to the side of the road outside the unloadinQ zone, stop in the traffic lane
10 V. ait foi- a space to become available, unload %vhile double parkinQ in the street or make
u U-turn in the roadwa-v to return to Golden Peal:. All of these actions neQatively effect
trat'4:c flow and safetv in the a:ea. .qdditionally drivers not affiliated with Ski Club Vail,
ill be artracted to the unloadinQ zone and further compound the problems.
Iwoulu. however, stronaly support the placement of a cement sidewalk benveen Golden
f'.a'k: and Sk-i Club Vail_ on the South side of Vail Valley Drive. Such a sidewalk would
inc;ea;e, pedestrian safety in the area, especiallv for SCV children. while SCV '

Ladies aiid Gentlemen:
Ski Club Vail is reeluesting a Temporary Parkin.,,/ Loading Zone along Vail Valley Drive.
(As most of you know) Slci Club Vail, formed 34 years ago with approximately 25
athletes inoved into its current location in 1977 with approximately 75 atliletes. We
curl-ently hzve ovei- 280 athletes aiid 39 coaches and staff. Due to our increased numbers
as well as aciditional vehicular deniands, the circular drive is no longer adequate for
loading aiid unloading. We are requesting a trial Temporary Parking / Loading Zone
similar to tliat of FirstBank of N'ail. It would nzn approximately 250 feet along tlie soutli
sidc of `'ail Valley Drive startin~ at a point east of the end of the walkway to
approximately 40 feet west of the circular drive. The scheduled wideninb of Vail Valley.
Drive has beeti movcd back again to 2001.
Ski Club will self-police the area during its critical hours of 8:00 to 9:30 am aiid 3:00 to
pin Saturclays and Sundays. We will also self=police tlle area on race days and any .
club functions.
This proposal has been reviewed by tne Vail To~~,u Council and Vail Public Works
Departriicnt.

PROPOSED PARKING
Parents of Ski Club Vail athletes have a work deposit that they have an option to
work off through volunteering their time. In this proposal Ski Club intends to man the
weekends and race days with three attendants; two in front of the club and one in front of
Pinos del Norte/Northwoods parking garage. During club functions we will have one
attendant in front of the club. During business hours ( 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Tuesday thru
Sunday) Ski Club has a staff of three full time people who will be monitoring the loading
zone.
Ski Club Vail will install "Loading Zone Only" signs in the proposed area. The
signs will have an agreed upon time limit. If an unauthorized car is in the loading zone or
unattended car is there past the time limit, the attendants will notify the Police
Department.

Memorandum
To: Town Council
. Erom: Andy Knudtsen
Nina Timm
Date: November 13, 1998
Re: Josette Elias' Red Sandstone Lottery Application •
The purpose of this memo is twofold: it provides the detailed information about Josette Elias' record to
help you answer questions you might be asked from people in the community; it also outlines the issue if
Council is interested in changing the guidelines for future lotteries. Some of the key questions for
consideration include: Should absences from the Valley be allowed? How long could the absence be
without losing points for previous local employment and residency? Are there specific types of absences
that should be allowed?
It is important to note that the most frequently asked question to staff about this issue has dealt with local
children who go away to college and return following graduation. There has been concem about losing
the points due to the time away at college. Our current guidelines accommodate this. Some Vail
Commons residents were able to get high standings in the lottery, after leaving for college, because they
were able to document that their permanent residence continued to be local. One type of documentation
that verifies this is being listed as dependents on their parent's tax returns. Objective documentation such
as tax returns provides credibility to the process.
Josette Elias was awarded twelve points in the Red Sandstone lottery. This was based on information she
provided to staff in her lottery application. The information included a purchase agreement for Palmo's in
November of 1996. Staff scored her for two years of working history within the Town of Vail based on
this documentation. She also provided a lease for a unit in Sandstone Park beginning February 1, 1997.
Staff scored her for two years of living within the Town of Vail. Both her employment and residence
occurred within the Town of Vail so they were weighted at a ratio of 3:1.
In her application she writes that "Returned to coll.ege to finish degree. She left Vail for one year and ten '
months. Employed in Denver 1/95-11/96." Employment and residency points for the Town's affordable
housing lottery are based on current and consecutive documented years within Eagle County. When staff
received this application there was no mention of a medical reason for the time away from Eagle County.
Staff did not learn about this until the tiers were published in the papers.
Although the focus of the media attention has been on the medical emergency, her application was
aetually deficient, lacking nine years of documentation about residency or employment (from 1982- 1991).
Additionally, the documentation that is provided for 1991 until 1995 includes a lease that may have had
key information "whited out", revised and re-photocopied. The lease states that it began on April 1, 1991
and would last for five years if Ms. Elias remained an employee of Menzel, Inc.
Staff feels that each Red Sandstone lottery application was scored fairly and objectively. It is the goal to
make the Town of Vail affordable housing available to the largest number of people through a process that
is impartial. In the near future staff would like to review the Employee Housing Guidelines with the
Town Council. Based on two years of consecutive and documented employment and residence within the ,
Town of Vail the score of twelve points for Josette Elias was scored accurately based on the current Town
of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines.

Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Andy Knudtsen
;Subject: Analysis of options for the West Vail site . . Date: November 17, 1998
1. Introduction
The purpose of this memo is to provide background information for the Arosa/Garnusch
site, including summaries of the technical design analysis and the public process that has
taken place since October of 1998. On November 17, 1998 Town Council will be asked
to review two park concepts and three housing development altematives. With this
information Council will be asked to provide direction on density, building type (i.e.,
duplex, four plex, eight plex), and park elements.
II. Background
As part of the Common Ground process the Arosa/Garinisch parcel was listed as a site for
a neighborhood park and employee housing. An intensive community participation
process for this site began in October with bus tours and site visits followed by a
communiry design meeting. To clarify the expectations for participation, the Town
Council approved g'rvens for this process, listed below: -
1. Both a park and affordable housing will be created at the West Vail site with a dual
emphasis on achieving neighborhood compatability and making strides towards
increasing Vail's housing supply.
2. The Town will sell the homes, but will retain ownership of the land under both the
housing and the park. The housing will be deed restricted and will be sold to full time
employees working at local businesses.
3. All suggestions regarding the design of the park and housing will be considered and
discussed.
4. After soliciting community direction, the Town Council will make the final decision on
the development parameters for the site prior to issuing the Request for Proposals.
The project proposal will be reviewed by Design Review Board, Planning and
Environmental Commission (if needed) and the Town Council, consistent with the
requii-ements of the Town's development review process.
These givens were based on a variety of factors. The current zoning, Primary/Secondary,
allows two units on each lot, with the condition that the units be deed restricted for
affordable housing. As there are four lots, a total of eight units could be developed, under
the existing conditions. The triangular shaped parcel to the west of the four lots is zoned
Agriculture. The Town recently acquired the land from the Forest Service, as part of the
Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement. As part of that transaction, affordable housing
was listed as a potential use of the site. Please note that annexation and replatting will be
; - required with any development of the site. Rezoning may be required, -as the current
zoning does not allow four-plexes, or eight-plexes.
_ Another factor that provided the basis for tbe givens is the direcrion provided in the
Common Ground process. As long as both a park and housing were included in a future
development, the community gave the direction to pursue the West Vail site. Additional
community discussions were needed to determine appropriate density, design and building
tYPe.
Finally, an important factor in the development of the givens was the initial puipose of the
site, as recorded in the minutes of the Town Council, when the site was purchased in June
of 1990. The four lots located at the intersection of Arosa and Garmisch were acquired in
1990 for $218,000. The purpose for acquiring the lots stated in the June 5, 1990 Council
minutes was land for "parks, open space and employee housing." The initial down
payment of $43,069.62 was made by the RETT fund in 1990. The first note payment of
$72,085.34 was made in 1991 by the Debt Service Fund. In 1991 the Debt Service Fund
was reimbursed $72,085.00 by the RETT Fund. The 1992 payment of $67,434.68 was
made by the Debt Service Fund. Also in 1992 the RETT fund was reimbursed $72,086.00
from the Capitol Projects Fund. The final note payment of $62,783.98 was made in 1993
from the Debt Service Fund. The initial down payment of $43,069.62 made by the RET"T
fund has not been reimbursed, based on available infornation.
Durin- the neighborhood discussions, most of the participants requested zero density for -
this site. Some requested additional infonnation and a few requested the maximum density
allowed by the current zoning. (The notes recorded on the flip charts from those meetings-
are attached to this memo.). When discussing the park use, there was a relatively high
degree of unanimity about desired elements (with the exception of restrooms). The park
uses have been treated as a constant in the alternative designs. The discussions about
housing did not reflect a high degree of consensus; however, it is important to note that
the Town Council set clear expectations about the process by stating that there was a dual goal of including both a park and housing on the site.

III. Analysis of each alternative
The three altemative designs are identified as A(1 eight plex), B(4 duplexes) and C(2
four plexes). 'ne three altematives were programmed to show the full range of options
for the site, including building type, access locations and use of different portions of the
site. The park elements are essentially the same in each altemative. For example, many
people requested that the view from the Garmisch/Arosa intersection up through the site
be maintained. As a result, all of the plans have been designed preserving the center of the
site with park space on the lower, flatter area and open space above, on the steeper area:
Other constants include a childreds play area, a restroom, a piEnic shelter with a gri ll and -
picnic tables. The Town's landscape architect designed park elements that would work
with the housing designs. Each park design has a large open play area with turf grass.
Circulation paths, in the lower area, are paved and are provided to meet the required ADA
access to all site amenities. It is recommended that street parking be improved along with
the Arosa/Garmisch intersection. Currently no street lighting is shown; however low level
bollard lights would be beneficial for safety and security reasons. Along with the public
input received on park elements, additionat neighborhood demographic information was
obtained from the Vail Community Survey results. The survey showed that most -of the
children living in the neighborhood were 12 years of age and younger.
Although the housing elements can be adjusted in the future, they were shown consistently
among the designs to enable the community to compare the altemative ways the site could
be developed. The housing program includes 8 units, four three bedrooms at 1200 square
feet, four two bedrooms at 900 square feet, two parking spaces per unit (with at least 50% .
enclosed), and a minimum of four guest parking spaces.
.91ternative A
Alternative A is made up of an eight-plex located on the east side of the, site and a park
area located on the west side. The design shows two alternative access points. One
comes across the neighboring driveway and parking lot. The other comes up directly from
Garnisch. T'he access directly from the street is the clear preference from several of the
nei-hbors living in the 9-plex adjacent to the site
Staff calculated the following elements of the desib :
Building coverage: 2,885 square feet
Pavcd area: 1,250 square feet (calculated from Garmisch access)
Arca of site attributed to housing: 9,500 square feet.
The K-plex would have to be shifted to the north to accommodate the park program listed
, abovc.
A
a
Summarv of Benefits:
-Least amount of site coverage.
. -Consolidates all development to one side of site.
-Eight plex is consistent with development to east, particularly
the nine-plex located on the lot next door.
-Allows for the largest park area.
-Eight parking spaces enclosed within basement of structure with a single entrance.
-Least amount of paved area. . , .
. . -Steps up hillside nicely - not intrusive to site. . -Design creates landscape berm and buffer between housing and park.
Summary of Concerns:
-Condominium product not as desirable to prospective buyers.
-Current design does not have decks.
-Current design uses stucco for 100% of exterior. Combination of wood and
stucco may create a more residential appearance.
Alternative B
Alternative B is made up of four duplexes. One is located on the east side of the site and
three are located on the west side. Each unit, as currently designed, would have a two-car
Qarage on the lowest level, with at least one guest space in front of the garage.
Staff calculated the following elements of the design:
Building coverage: 51168 square feet
Paved area: 3,900 square feet
Area of site attributed to'housing: 12,700 square feet.
Summary of Benefits-
-The portion of the site needed for the three duplexes is located immediately
behind the Town Manager's homc, thereby maintaining the most visible portion of
the site as open space.
-Duplex building form consistent with neighboring structures to the west.
-Use of smaller structures breaks up mass and bulk.
-Attractive home style to potential purchasers.
-Clear delineation of park area and housing area with pathway located on
perimeter of park.
~
Summary of Concerns:
-Distribution of units across larger area of site reduces park area.
-Significant site excavation required for the west duplex located furthest from
street.
-Perception that the park may not be as open or accessible to the neighborhood.
- Alternative C . '
Alternative C is made up of two four-plexes located on either side of the central park area.
Each four plex, as currently reflected in the site plan, includes two townhouses and two
condominiums, clustered around a common four-car garage. While the design can
accommodate the housing program, staff has concerns that the fourplexes would not
accommodate the park program.
Staff calculated the following elemenTs of the primary site plan:
Building coverage: 6,300 square feet
Paved area: 3,650 square feet '
Area of site attributed to housing: 18,500 square feet.
Summarv of Benefits:
-Buildings work well with hillside.
-Driveways and parking area are consolidated.
Summarv of Concerns•
-Architectural styl.e does not meet expectations of community.
-Provides least amount of park area. .
-Signifcant encroachment into central area to be maintained as park and open
space.
t
_ III. Next Steps
Based on the decision by the Town Council regarding building rype and densiry,.the town
wiil take the following "next steps."
1. Issue a Request of Qualifications from the general contracting community. Based on
the response from this initial RFQ, the Town will have the opportunity to short list a few
general contractors and request additional information to document their ability to deliver
a quality product which is affordable. The current designer of the program that is selected
, will be retained to continue -working on the development.. _
2. Develop more detailed drawings from the conceptual level currently shown. Once- , -
these have been drawn, they will be submitted to the Development Review Process. Town
staff from various departments will verify compliance with standards for drainage, grading,
driveway length/width, building codes, etc.
3. Annex and zone the two acres acquired from the U.S. Forest Service.
4. Upon completion of staff review, the Planning and Environmental Commission, the
Town Council and the Design Review Board will review and approve the proposal.
These steps will take approximately 5 to 6 months.

Notes from easels at Vail Library
November Z-6
Concept A- 8 plex
Concept B- duplex
Concept C- 4 plex
Concept A --Just go with concept A! If we need housing it shouldn't look sloppy. Maximizes open space. Concept
A
. --Concept A reduce housing to a 4-plex. Cost will be too high
--Concept A- it looks like this would leave the most open space- creafive to terrace building into hiliside
- and put parking underground. Is access legal? Architectural style is too modem. - --Prefer concept A- clustered building- more efficient - more open space
--Concept A works best for me.
--Concept A best utilization of open space
--Best Plan A. It would be better if number of units were reduced to 4 units -B. Brown
--8-plex concept and concept A park set up is the best of the three. Condenses the housing and leaves
room for the park and open space.
--Your 8-plex doesn't have any access. The access shown is through my parking lot, yard and garden.
Bummer!! However- the other concept is beautiful. If larger units aze built can you guarantee real
affordability?
--Concept A looks the best of what is here - was that inteniional? I like the underground parking and all
building on the east end with open views north and west. '
--The 8-plex is pretty.
--Would like to see building staked out. May be too big- reduce by 2 units? Like design statement-
building. Could this work behind Town Manager's house?
--Concerns: Safety of children who live and play at Sunlight North condos located adjacent to proposed
development. Traffic flow through Sunlight North condos (9 units).
Solution: Create a separate access that would be located further west on Garmisch than is presently
illustrated on this plan. This would keep traffic away from the front of Sunlight North condos and their
existing parking lot.
--Westem part sticks out into park area too f.ar. Either move up the hill or cut some units. Access off of
Garmisch.
--Clustering is good, but it needs access from GarmiSch. Also decks and porches.
--Clustered concept.is good.
--The massing sits well on the site. I like leaving an appreciable size of open space. If I was living there I
would wish for more direct circulation to the units.
--Looks toa industrial
--plus: massed units and )arge open space, underground parking
--minus: Access from Sunlight North unlikely. Sculpture unnecessary
. --I like the concept of minimizing the impact of the housing. This seems to have the least adverse impact
on the neighborhood- it keeps the most open space and hides the parking underground and also still
provides adequate extra parking. I also like the idea of housing all in one place instead of spread over the
site.
--Prefer to see no housing on site. If have to see any housing prefer Concept A. '
--So far best concept, usage of keeping the lot open- more feeling for public to use park. Why are all
concepts using 8 unit plans- what happened to public input for lesser density? Two-four units maybe six.
--A looks like office complex- doesn't fit in neighborhood.
--This is nice placement of the park area and traffic flow to the housing units. The ingress does not
adverselv impact Sunlight North condos.
f
Concept B
--B looks better to me. I'm not terribly concemed with what people think who are actually able to afford a
place to li~~e. Do they realize how hard it is to find a place to live that is reasonable? There is SO MLJCH
open space around here for kids to play in. Get creativel Traffic here is NOT an issue- I've lived in
MtJCH, MUCH worse - get over it!
--We like concept B where the units are spread out. Not clustered.
--B is best- most desirable to live in.
--Concept B-2 duplexes- one east and one west
-possibly 3 duplexes - one east and two west -
-does a good job of preserving most of the site as a park.
" . --Concept B most creative, thoughtful ihtegration of housing with park, good cambination of children's park and natural space- house styles very attractive- park very passive which neighbors want
.--It seems obvious that the planners/ Boulder architects did not listen/hear public input. Where are plans
for a duplex, no street parking? Did I waste 3 hours at a meeting already decided by the TOV housing
committee. Come on gu_ys - back to the drawing board and come up with something the community
wants. Take another look at all of the "bubble" drawings. We're trying to work with you TOV but you
aren't hearing!!!
--What a wonderful opportunity for some hard working locals to "own a home" in Vail
-Maybe I'll be one! I'd prefer a duplex -plan B
- It seems like Wolf-Lyon put some thought into their plans.
--Very much enjoy this design- will fit in the existing neighborhood well. But, am concemed about how
affordable these can be.
--Site plan OK with the 3 west, the 1 east crowds too much flat area. The perspective appears to tower
over existing suuctures.
--Park needs more active zones as shown in TOV park plans. Need to understand full extent of site
disturbance to build on west side.
--This concept looks the best!
--Duplexes sound great and look good on the site, but could the afforadability be available also? Would
like to see the sizes vary and garages are a plus in all concepts.
--Love the look and layout!
--W'ould like to see units staked out. Does drive behind Bob's house realiy work? What size retaining
Nvall'
--May be better to combine units.
--Like putting units behind Town Manager's house- they don't seem to block anyone's views.
--Really like this concept!
--Like the "bavarian" look - also the stacking up the hill on the left. --This one looks the best.
--Nice ciesi(-,n. The "riatural" park is inviting. The tot lot with activities are important for little people in the neiahborhood. We desperately need more affordable housing in Vail (for the working class here)!
--Prefer all units together to maximize open space and reduce cost and pavement.
--Complicated roofs = expensive and snow/ice problems.
--Like park path as divider between park and housing.
--This is bv far the most aestheticaliy appealing design.
--Like look, but would like to see more on space since lack of housing is our problem. Could there be
more here and also garages with studios?
--I like the idea of integrating the housing with the park so that there is a kind of community center. This
concept doesn't 1'eave as much open space as concept A. Also, would this make the park too much of a
pri vate Park for the new housing?
--Prefcr concept B
--We like concept B because it is away from street, housing is more spaced out.
T
~
Concept C
--Concept C housing is down low- most practical but takes away space for park
--Concept C buildings are just plopped down without any attempt to integrate them with the park. House
styles are ugly.
--Reduce to duplexes (2). One east and one west - like site plan A.
-UGLY,UGLY,UGLY
--Lame, Lame, Lame Thanks for nothing!
--The drawings of the houses proposed by Morter/Aker look like stack-a-shacks. C'mon, you can do a lot
better than that. Remember, you're in Vail, Colorado, not Harlem! Also, how about planning them so
. they don't take up all the frontage of the street. Thinlc a little- don't just do what's easiest!!
--Why not attach 4-plex on the west side to the Town Manager's unit? ,
--Would like to see building at one end of the lot- makes park more open to public use- not just to owners ' of condos. •
--Don't like building to close to the road.
--Like the 4-plex approach- condo rather than townhouse units.
--Couldn't west units move more behind Town Manager's house?
--Move building farther up slope off of the flatter area. This plan works best with only one building with
combined garages.
--Prefer ali units together
--ToNknhouse- separate driveways overkill
--Buildings are not very attractive
--I like the townhouses from the road but not as well viewed from above. Grading seems key to the 4-plex
options, but schematically is my favorite. Not too massive, not too chopped up.
.
Park Concepts
--I would never build a park without restrooms. Try explaining to your 3 year old "we have to leave after
S minutes because you didn't go at home." And I would like to see some mix of unit sizes.
-The natural park with tot lot without restroom building)is great for this site, for a neighborhood
gathering place.
--Park like TOV's version for park add possible basketball hoop and volley ball court as pockets above.
Make trail connections (bridge to Cortina)
--Park A looks good. Just eliminate the building!! I do not believe that 8 units was a concept by the
. ma"oritv of the people at the meetings. -
, --Tot lot and swings too large _
_ --No paving- crusher fines OK for walk-ways - , - "
--Paved walks not be installed until traffic patterns established --Less formal usage
--Don't need restroom
--Don't need parking- its a neighborhood park
-Not fair- park for all to enjoy. Like trails and open space '
--Keep the restroom
--Provide limited parking as shown
--Provide basketball court and volley ball pit
.
General Comments
--Number of bedrooms in each altemative?
--I like A and B- layout of B appeals more to me as a possible resident, but A has nice advantages-
underground parking appearance. I prefer A as a Vail resident because it clusters housing in one area and
maximizes public park and space. How many bedrooms? We need lots.
--Go with A or B
--Is is affordable? Remember most employees make less than 510.00/hour!
--STOP BUILDING! You think this is progress... many young people today see is as raping the land! If
you keep building, what wiil be left for future generations? The EARTH is suffering so lets put our
energies into preserving it and lets stop destrovine it! --Reduce number of units from 8 to 6 or lower to four our vote OK =B. Brown - "
--All concepts: reduce the number of units -
' -do four units, but make them a113 bedroom- for families
--Leave as is! Arosa Drive cannot handie the extra traffc. We fear for the safety of our (Over sheltered,
over priviliged) (that's crap) children.
--Arosa Drive-- this is the only open space in tbe area. The area needs a park for the ctiildren It's not
big enough for a nice park and housing.
--This lot was purchased with open space money. To change its use is a breach of faith with the citizens
that have paid this tax for that purpose. But I suppose this fact doesn't impress you at all so if you must,
go with A. B is just awful!
--It is the only open space in West Vail, it seems unfair that wealthier area (Donovan Park) escapes and
we pay the price!
--Leave Arosa-Garmisch parcel as is (a natural park) "Lyndon Ellefson Park". Please incorporate areas
that have already been impacted for the so called housing crisis. The benefit and appeal of this beautiful
open, natural space needs to be preserved in its entirety. Areas such as Timber Ridge could possibly serve
a5 future housing. As they say about open land, they're not making any more of it.
--0 density was the neighborhood vote.
--NO HOUSING- 0 density
--VVhy is Town taking 2% of resale? Why not a flat fee, as a lawyer does on closing? What control on
developer profit for building units? When do we revie« property between freeway and Bald Mountain
Road° (the par 3 lot)
--Make sure have some 2 t«o bedroom units for sin~les.
--NO HOUSING. ~
--0 Densitv
_ --Neighborhood input?? A SHAM
--U density is reality re: neighborhood input. What a farce, funded at tax navers expense.
--Leave.Arosa-Garmisch parcel as is, a natural, open park. Please look into other areas such as Mountain
Bell, Timber R.idge and care taker units. Open parccl; are too rare to give up. Zero density. '
--NO HOUSING. 0 DENSITY
--Leave Arosa-Garmisch parcel as is. A natural park (zero density). Look at Timber Ridge instead, as
well as care takers units.
--Prefer O density- no housing on park land

Resolution No. 14, Series of 1990, a resolution setting forth the intention of the
Town Council to make certain land available for the development and construction of
a Vail Cultural Arts Center, was next. Ron Phillips stated that also at the meeting
last week, the possibility of Council to make its intent to provide land for the
arts center was discussed, and the resolution reflects this intent and lists four
general conditions. After a short discussion regarding a wording change in
condition C, Rob LeVine made a motion to approve the resolution. Tom Steinberg
seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
Fifth on the agenda was action on contracts for Vail das Schone land sale.. Ron

then revi'ewed some of the terms. He stated the lots are in Vail das Schone, Lots
1-4, Block H, Filing 2, and gave a local description of the land. Mayor Rose noted
the eventual_use_was not determined yet, but there was the possibility of using it
for recreation or open space, or for employee housing. Ron stated at this time, the
land would be bought with real estate transfer tax funds, but if the land was used
for employee housing, the capital fund would repay the real estate transfer tax fund
for that portion of the land. There was some discussion by Byron Brown regarding
the proposed payment schedule. There was then some discussion by Larry Eskwith
regarding deeds of trust, the promissory note, and partial releases. Peggy
Osterfoss theri made a motion to approve both contracts and proceed with the purchase

had been advertising for the opening, no one else had applied. A secret ballot was
taken by Council, and the highest vote was for John Milligan. Rob LeVine made a
motion to appoint John Milligan to a two year term on the Local Liquor Licensing
Authority Board, and Peggy Osterfoss seconded. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 6-0. '
,
. At this time, Ron Phillips noted he had received a resolution and letter from the

RECEIVEO NOV 1 2
TO THE MAYOR AND COLNCIL:
RE: 4 acxes on Ptarmigan Road
We are eoncerned as to why-Council would even consider selling 4 acres of prime Iand way ; .
under market value.
To the best of our irnowledge there is no one acre building site in a prime Vail location
selling for $300,000, which is the per acre price if the 4 acres on Ptarmigan Road are sold to
ad}oining neighbors for 1.2 million.
: Correct us if we're wrong, but didn't one of those adjoining neighbors buy Hermann
Staufer's house for 2 million and proceed to tear it down to enlarge their "C*mpound'° with a _
guest house and gymnasium? Staufer's lot wasn't even an acre! If people want something - bad enough they'll be willing to pay for it and it shoald be at fair market value.
Conceptually, the idea of selling the land and using the proceeds for affordable housing is a
good idea. Just ask fair market vatue not a price considered by us to be a"steal".
HOWEVER, WHO REALLY STANDS TO GAIN IN THE DEAL AS PROPOSID? It is
not the average citizen of Vail, it ?s tre chosen few w2:o will increase ihe value of their
homesites because they will adjoin "open space". Open space for what? Wili you put in a
park or recreational faciiities? A rather strange place to appease the "open space" proponents.
What is being considered is not "win-win" for Vail's citizens... it is a win only for those
getting the bargain of the year?
You aze elected to represent all of us... not the chosen few who benefit firom this scheme.
We invite you to explain to us how we as a community benefit when land worth considerabiy
more in the open market has a price tag on it of only $300,000 for an acre. At that price we'd
like to buy an acre from the town, resell it to a developer, and donate our profit to the town
for affordable housing. Furthermore, when was the last acre on the golf course sold for
$300,400? Assuming 4 concerned and altru2stic citizens purchase the 4 acres at $300,000
each and resell it for one million an acre there would be a realized profit of 700,000 an acre,
which if donated to the town, times 4 would yield the town2.8 millioa Betzer yet, if the town
sells the land themselves, there is a minimum 4 million going into the affordable housing pot,
and the only losers are the adjacent property owners who will get new neighbors rather than
open space: Of course the new neighbors won't build "affordable" housing because the land
cost is too high for ihat, but the rest of us will get some much needed money to help the
budget!
If we're off base in our thinking we're open minded eno~h to listen to yo~ side of the
proposed plan. However, we thought the days of "private agendas" were long past!
If you want to sell the land to adjacent property owners, sell it at fair walue, not ax a bargain
basement price!
Giida and Werner Kaplan

Re: Ptaimigan Road Land Exchange
Dear -Mr. & Mrs. Kaplan:
The Town of Vail continues to negotiate with private property ow-ners in the Ptarmigan Road area
to achieve the aoals of the Vail Comprehensive Opens Space Plan, wlucn has been in place since
1994 and in process since the early 1990s. The successful culmination of these negotiations vVill
fizrther the goals to remove private encroachments on publicly owned land, reserve what has been
undeveloped open space, and will create an open space buffer azound the Town of Vail. These
principles will a11ow the Town to remain firm in its resolution to object to any private eYChanges
between the United States Forest Service and individuals that could result in additional development
on what is now Forest Service property.
The Ptarmingan property involves two areas on what is know as Parcel C. One area contai.ns the
land where there are currently public and private improvements encroaching upon what was formerly
Forest Service, but now Town of Vail owned land. The other larger area is approxi.matelv 4.3 acres
and is currently undevelaped land zoned Agriculture Open Space and has severe snow avalanche
hazards.
This land was appraised by Nash & Associates Appraisal Company at a fair market value based on
the hiahest and best use. The appraisal did factor in the snow avalanche influence zone. The
appraisal was completed by the appraisee for the Town and the United States Forest Service.
The Town has neQotiated in Qood faith with the residents on Ptarmigan to convev land where
residents now have encroachments on Town of Vail land. The vaiue of this land has bem calculated
on a pe: square toot basis.
~ RELyCLEDPAPEX
.
As to the approximately 43 acres of undeveloped land on the south side of Ptarmigan, the Town of
Vail is proposing to convey only the development rights for this land and be compensated for the full
value based on the appra.isal. The Town will retain ownership of the land.
As stated earlier these negotiations, if successful, will fulfill the tenants of the open space plan as
Nvell as the Land'Ownership Adjustrnent Agreement which has continued to receive the support of
the various Town Councils since the eazly `90s. Thank you for you interest in the culmination of
what has been a long and arduous process to fulfill some of the Town's land preservation goals.
Very t
,Pily yours,

Land Exchange
Fact Sheet
PURPOSE
The basic purpose of the exchange is to remove Forest System lands from within the Town boundary and
to acquire rorest System Lands that have public or private improvements. The reasons for this
exchange include:
1) Reducing the likelihood of private exchanges of Forest Service Lands in and around the Town
of Vail.
2) Eliminate Town of Vail zoning of National Forest System lands.
3) Address numerous orivate and pubiic encroachments on Forest System lands. By selling these lands
back to private property owners the Town wanted to be compensated for the $2.5 miilion investment in
Trappers Run.
4) Improve cpportunities for local govemments to acquire and preserve lands for open space and
other public uses including housing.
5) Create a open space buffer area around the Town of Vail.
BACKGROUND
in the eariy 1990s the Vail Town Council directed staff to begin working with the Forest Service to
address encroachments on Forest System lands and to identify ways to discourage private exchanges
around the Town of Vail. In 1994 the community completed the Vail Comprehensive Open Space Plan
which identified properties that should be considered for a land exchange. In June, 1995 the Town of Vaii
and the U.S. Forest Service signed an agreement to initiate a land exchange. The land exchange
involved 3 parcels of TOV land totaling 76 acres and 11 parcels of USFS lands totaling 62.2 acres. TFie
appraised value of the USFS lands was $4.5 million and the value of the TOV lands was also $4.5 million_
This exchange essentially removed Forest Service lands from within the Town of Vail by acquiring or
deannexing USFS lands (this action still needs to occur).
ROCKLEDGE AND PTARMIGAN
The potential revenue from this exchange comes from selling the land the Town has acquired on
Rockiedge and Ptarmigan roads to property owners that had encroachments on U.S. Forest Service land_
The value for Rockledge Road did significantly increase from $800,000 in the draft appraisal to
$2,400,000 in the final appraisal. The changes from the draft to the final appraisal also included an
increase in value on Trappers Run from $2,850,000 to $3,675,000.
In January and February of 1997 the Town Council reviewed the costs and benefits of moving forward
with the land exchange after reviewing the final appraisal. The Council after reviewing the risks and the
benefits directed staff to move forward with the exchange and create a framework for selling the land
back to property owners on Rockledge and Ptarmigan.
FACTS ON ROCKLEDGE
• The Town has been negotiating in good taith with the residents cn Rockledge to convey land where
residents now have encroachments on what was USFS lands ancl are now Town of Vail owned
lands. The value of this land has been calculated on a per square foot basis. No improvements wil)
oe constructed on this land but homeowners wiil benefit from the GRFA and site coverage from
l
having a larger lot. Staff received direction from Council in 1997 to move forward in this direction to
maximize the economic return to the Town.
• There is the potential to see a return of $ 1.4 miilion on the sale of properties on Rockledge Road.
• Next steps include receiving Town Council approvai in the form of ordinances for the sale of land,
subdivision, rezoning of lands to be conveyed to private property owners to primary secondary
zoning.
FACTS ON PTARMIGAN
• The Ptarmigan property involves iwo areas on what is known as Parcel C. The first area is an L
shaped properry totaling 22, 644 feet that contains the land where there are currently public and
private improvements. The other larger area is approximatefy 4.3 acres and is currently
undeveloped land zoned Agriculture Open Space and has severe snow avalanche hazards.
• This land was appraised at a fair market value based on the highest and best use. The appraisal did
factor in that the site is in a snow avalanche infiuence zone and that to increase buifding potentiai on
the site require hazard mitigation (or additional hazard studies), subdivision, and rezoning.
• The Town has negotiated in good faith with the residents on Ptarmigan to convey land where
residents now have encourchments on Town of Vail land. The value of this land has been calculated
on a per square foot basis. The totai potentiai return to the r own is approximately $1.2 million. No
improvements could be constructed on this land but homeowners could benefit from the GRFA and
site coverage from have a larger lot. Staff received directicn from Council in 1997 to mave forward in
this direction to maximize the economic return to the Town.
• In addition. the Town gave the option to residents to acquire approximately 4.3 acres of
undeveloped land on the south side of Ptarmigan. Several rasidents expressed strong interest to
preserve this land as open space. As proposed the Town would covey the development rights for this
land to the Eagle Valley Land Trust and would be compensated for the full value of this land based on
the appraisal. The Town would retain ownership of the land.
BENEFITS OF MQVING FORWARD W1TH SHE SELL OF ROCKLEDGE AND PTARMIGAN LANDS
• The Town preserves open space on Ptarmigan and Rockledge and receives a fair marlcet value on
the land based on the 1997 appraisal. The total value of Racicledge and Ptarmigan based on the
1997 appraisal is $2.6 million. This money has been propos2d to be ear marked for housing.
• This action will resolve a long-standing encroachment and access issue on Ptarmigan and
Rockledge Roads.
• The Town receives compensation for the 4.3 acre undevelcped Ptarmigan lot but only conveys the
development rights to the Eagle Valley Land Trust. In addition, the Town of Vail land that was
conveyed to the USFS to acquire Ptarmigan and Rockledge should remain as open space based on
the agreements that exist today between the Town and the USFS. • The i own is executing the conveyance of these lands consistent with the Land Ownership,
Adjustment Agreement with the USFS. If we live up to our end of the bargain with the Forest Service
it wiii make it very difficult for them to back out of their commitment to keep the lands we conveyed to
them (3 properties in West Vail ) as open space.
• The Town coniinues to maintain a s;rong posture in regard io opposing private land exchanges that
couid altow additional development around the Town of Vail.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOVEMBER 10
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Pay for Performance Discussion with Tom Haller
The Council met with Tom Haller of ihe management consultant firm Lee and Burgess
Associates regarding the town's "readiness" to modify the town's existing merit pay system.
Haller described six conditions for successful implementation: 1} elected officials must be
unanimously committed to the concept of performance-based pay, or must at least agree not to
interfere with pay decisions for individual employees or departments; 2) the management must
be unanimously committed to the concept, must be capable of making and defending difficult
decisions about performance and pay, and be effective, proactive managers; 3) the performance
management process and philosophy must be effective and credible; 4) managers and
supervisors must be thoroughly trained in, and understand and be committed to, the concepts,
techniques, and objectives of performance management; 5) the reward system must be
meaningful; and 6) proper administrative controls and processes must be in place. Although
ditficult to implement, Town Manager Bob McLaurin said he supports the change. McLaurin
proposed a phased concept that would implement pay for performance at the department head
and division head levels in 1999, leaving the current pay system in place for front line
employees. While most Councilmembers appeared supportive of the concept, Councilman
Michael Jewett expressed a dissenting opinion. A final decision on the issue will rest with the
Councii and wiff be determined at the Nov. 17 meeting. For more information, contact McLaurin
at 479-2105.
--PEC/DRB Review
A`ter learning of the Planning and Environmental Commission's 4-3 vote Monday to approve a
variance that would allow for athiete/vendor drop-off in front of the Ski Club Vail facilities on Vail
Valley Drive (approved with 8 conditions), the Council voted 7-0 to call-up the proposal to review
it in its entirety. The proposal will be reviewed by Council at its Nov. 17 work session. For more
information, contact Brent Wilson in the Community Development Department at 479-2128.
Also yesterday, the Council inquired about Design Review Board denial of an exterior lighting
application submitted by the Roost Lodge.
--Appointment of Councilmember to Board of Directors for the Alpine Gardens
The Council voted 7-0 to appoint Michael Jewett as the Vail Town Council representative to the
Alpine Gardens Board of Directors.

--Empioyee Recognition
Sally Lorton, the town's sales tax administrator, and Dave Richardson, heavy equipment
operator II, were each honored for 20 and 15 years of service to the town, respectively. As such,
Lorton received $2,000, while Richardson received $1,000 in recognition for their years of
service.
--Budget Wrap-Up
The Council briefly reviewed proposed budget figures for 1999 in preparation for a pubiic
hearing and first reading of the budg~et at the Nov. 17 evening Council meeting.
As proposed, the $29 million budgetdraws upon $300,000 in fund balance to help offset one-time expenses, such as the $137,500 associated with the World Alpine Ski
' Championships. Despite the proposed deficit spending for 1999, a healthy fund balance of $5.3
million is projected to remain at the end of the year in the general and health insurance
contingency funds, according to Finance Director Steve Thompson. For more information,
contact Thompson at 479-2116.
--Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
The Council reviewed the "implementation" chapter of the proposed redevelopment master plan
for Lionshead. The chapter recommends priorities, phasing and timing for a list of suggested
public and private improvements. All told, about $78 million in public improvements are listed,
plus a recommendation for new transit technology and construction of a"civic" facility west of the
Lionshead parking structure to be largely funded through tax increment financing and
public/private cost sharing. In reviewing the chapter, Mayor Rob Ford suggested creating an
additional phasing schedule that would include the cost of the project, cost of return, how it
would be funded and the recommended time frame. During discussion, David Corbin of Vail
Associates asked the Council to avoid a sticker shock reaction, noting that the infrastructure
costs for Bachelor Gulch were about $90 million. Instead, Corbin asked the Council to look at
the potential for revenue. The VA core site alone, he said, could generate $25 million in bonding
capacity for public projects elsewhere in Lionshead through a tax increment financing program
(TIF). Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowner's Association said he urged people to
withhold judgement on the costs until the phasing schedule suggested by Mayor Ford is
completed. Lamont suggested sequencing projects that would achieve greater return, with
those monies helping to finance other projects during other phases. Lamont also stressed the
need to accommodate more parking spaces within the Lionshead plan. Reaction from other
Councifinembers included a concern expressed by Kevin Foley regarding graphic illustrations
showing five buildings on the Vail Associates core site. Foley said he didn't think the site could
hold five buildings. Also, Ludwig Kurz wondered if the plan should consider swapping town-
owned parcels with Vail Associates to maintain a west Lionshead parking area. Next steps in
the document review include another session with the Vail Town Council at its Nov. 17 work
session; final recommendations from the Design Review Board at its Nov. 18 meeting; final
recommendations from the Planning and Enviranmental Commission on Nov. 23; and final
review by the Town Council at its Dec. 1 evening meeting. For more information, contact
Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148.
--Discussion on Updating Building Codes
The Council heard and reacted favorably to a presentation from Gary Goodell, the town's chief
building official, regarding the need to update the town's building code to mirror the 1997 edition
of the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The building code regulates building, mechanical,
plumbing and electrical consiruction. When asked how the changes might impact the
construction industry, Goodell said there could be an overall cost savings due to the acceptance
by UBC of new construction methods and materials. An ordinance reflecting the revisions will be
prepared and considered by Council at an upcoming meeting. For more information, contact
Goodell at 479-2321. (more)

--information Update
Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, presented an update on the hiring process for
seasonal bus drivers and parking booth attendants. The town is currently 7 drivers short out of
36 seasonal bus driver positions, as well as 3 vacancies for booth attendants. Only 3 housing
units remain vacant within the town's seasonal housing development at Buzzard Park. As a
result, Grafel said the town intends to make operational adjustments accordingly with the
"summer " bus schedule extending about two weeks beyond the traditional transition to winter
service. Bus service will be increased to accommodate passengers during the Thanksgiving
holiday, however. It was noted that 5 potential bus driver candidates have been recruited from '
Mt. Bulfer, Austra(ia, and'are due to arrive in December. Grafel said the town wants to be frugaf
-with mandatory overtime on the front side of the season, so as nof to burn-out current driverS for
the heavier impact months and the increased service during the 99 championships.
Also yesterday, Grafel provided an overview of the Vail 99 Transportation Committe'e's role in
providing adequate parking for the event, which will include temporary use of the soccer field,
the Ford Park softball fields and the lower bench of Donovan Park. He aiso apoiogized to
Council for lapses in timely progress reports from the Committee.
Councilmembers then inquired about the status of construction projects at the Transportation
Center, Slifer Plaza and Checkpoint Charlie. Next, the Council voted 7-0 to authorize a maximum of $2,000 to be used from Council
contingency funds to partner with the Vail Valley Foundation and Vail Associates to throw a party
in conjunction with the 99 season kick-off Parade of Champions Ski Down to honor members of
Team Vail for their first place finish in the Eco-Challenge. The party will take place at 3 p.m.
Saturday (11-14). Also, Councilmembers agreed to create a team and will participate in
Saturday's ski down. For more information, contact Pam Brandmeyer at 479-2113.
In other business yesterday, Councilmembers were reminded to check their Internet e-mail from
constituents. Also, the Council decided to take a holiday break in December by canceling its
Dec. 22 and Dec. 29 meetings.
- --Council Reports . ,
Kevin Foley, who attends meetings of the Vail Recreation District on behalf of the Councif,
shared a copy of a 3-year plan developed by the VRD.
Ludwig Kurz, who represents the Council on the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek
Fifth), provided a brief update on a meeting last week in which a plan to visit a small parcel of
land was postponed due to the weather. Kurz said the authority has been approached by the
water district with the need to create a pump site in that area.
Sybill Navas reported on a recent forum sponsored by the Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments Water Quality/Quantity at Cooper Mountain. The topic was how communities can
participate in ski area expansions.
--Other
In noting an earlier discussion about Vail's parking needs, Sybill Navas recalled that a promoter
once considered Vail for a major music festival, but the concept was rejected due to concerns
about parking inadequacy. `
Rob Ford asked if Councilmembers could be provided with TOV uniform jackets.

Michael Jewett asked for clarification regarding next steps on the Ptarmigan property, in which
Council will be asked to consider three ordinances for approval. Also, Jewett inquired about the
possibility of town-issued computers for Councilmembers. Jewett has previously expressed
frustration in accessing a computer set aside for Council use, due to his work schedule.
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer suggested consideration of a new location for the
Council office space (that could be accessed 24 hours a day) following completion of the 99
championships.
Ludwig Kurz distributed a Time magazine article entitled "Corporate Welfare," and suggested
Councilmembers review it as they consider implementation of the Lionshead Master plan. °
Kevin Foley thanked Commander Jeff Layman for his years of service to the town. Layman has
just been named police chief for the Town of Avon.

DOWD JUNCTION RECREATION PATH CLOSES FOR WINTER SEASON
(Vaii)--As a result of the recent snowfall, the Dowd Junction recreation path is closing for the
winter season effective today (11-11) at the request of the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The
winter closure allows for the migration of deer and elk and was a condition of the recreation
path's approval. Gates will be used to indicate the path's closure, as well as signs explaining the
requirement.
The path will reopen in the spring at the direction of the Division of Wildlife. That reopening
date will be determined following a review of a migration study conducted earlier this jrear.
Last year the path was closed from Nov. 15 to June 15, which prompted complaints from some
users who felt the 7-month-long closure was excessive. It was during this closure that a detai(ed
study of the migration patterns was condurted. The study was performed by a Colorado State
University wifdlife biology professor ir. cooperation with the Colorado Division of Wildlife and the
Town of Vail. The study will be used as background data to determine the effect of trail users
during spring migration periods, and what, if any, adjustments could be made to shorten the closure.
The $2.3 million trail was completed in June 1997. The project involved funding partnerships
among 8 local, state and federal agencies and organizations. Future improvements include
installation of restrooms and a picnic area east of the bridge spanning the Eagle River.
For more information, contact Greg Hall, town engineer, at 479-2160.

COMMUNITY TASK FORCE CONDUCTS BRAINSTORMING EXERCISE WITH OUTSIDE
THINKERS; SESSION CONCLUDES FRIDAY WITH PUBLIC IDEA SHARING
(Vail)--A group of six experienced executives from companies outside of the Vail Valley will
converge on Vail later this week with one fundamental question in mind: What ideas could
further distinguish Vail as the premiere forward-thinking mountain resort community in the world?
The responses, to be shared during a public report-out Friday, could provide some fresh ideas
or reaffirm existing ideas for the community's consideration.
The brainstorming session is the idea of Vail's Community Task Force, which was formed in
1995 to help implement the Town of Vail-Vail Associates Managed Growth Agreement. Vail
Town Manager Bob McLaurin said the effort is similar to a process used in Beaver Creek several
years ago. "In asking the question ourselves, we realized we couldn't see the forest through the
trees," McLaurin said. "So, we began to wonder how Beaver Creek developed its plan for the
completion of the village core. We discovered it took some creative thinking from the outside."
In Vail's case, six diverse and creative thinkers from across the country have agreed to gather
here Nov. 12 and 13 to think about Vail. They'll be asked to share their first impressions of Vail
as well as ideas that might add to Vail's stature as a world-class resort community. The
discussions will be facilitated by Wendy Wolfe, a brand development consultant who spent a
number of years working for Disney and now lives in Colorado.
Ideas generated by the participants will be given to the community and will have no strings

attached, McLaurin said. "As a community, we'll be free to discard, pursue, modify or mothball
. the suggestions--any of which will be an acceptable outcome."
The group's ideas, in their raw form, will be presented during a public briefing at 5 p.m. Nov.
13 in the Mountain Room at the Vai! Athletic Club. "From there, the suggestions will be yet
. another piece of information for us to evaluate as a community," McLaurin said. "We're really ,
fortunate these individuals would take the time to volunteer their talents on behalf of our
community."
Lodging, airfare and other accommodations for the week have been made possible by
donations and contributions from the Vail Valley Foundation; Vail Associates, Inc.; Marriott
Mountain Resort; Lionshead Inn; Lodge at Lionshead; and Antler's Lodge.

Taos Town Manager
TOV RECEIVES 6 NEW REPLACEMENT BUSES THROUGH CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP
WITH TAOS, N.M.
(Vail)--After five years of paperwork, Congressional testimony and some ingenuity, the Town of
Vail has received the long-awaited delivery of six new replacement buses financed by a$1
million federal grant approved by Congress in 1996.
The town appiied for the buses through the federai 5309 discretionary capital funds program in
a unique partnership crafted by then-Town of Vail Mayor Peggy Osterfoss. At the time, Vail
partnered with Taos, N.M., in applying jointly for the federal grant. "The thought at the time was
that we'd share the buses, with Vail using them in the winter and Taos using them in the
summer," said Larry Grafel, TOV public works;transportation director. "It was a concept that was
well-received in Washington because of its regional scope," said Grafel, who along with then-
Vail Mayor Peggy Osterfoss presented the proposal to members of the Senate Appropriations
Committee during a Congressional visit in 1994. The proposal was eventually approved by
Congress with help from the Colorado and New Mexico congressional delegations.
The 31-passenger buses. each costing about $250,000, were delivered to Vail on Nov. 3 and
will be put into service immediately, said Grafel.
Although the approval process was tedious, TOV Transit Manager Mike Rose says it was
worth the wait. "These new buses will replace some vehicles that are more than 17 years old,"

Add iNail-Taos Partnership
Rose said. The typical fifespan of a bus is 12 years, he said.
The Town of Taos originally proposed to use the new buses to supplement its current transit
fleet dubbed the "Chili Line," established in January 1997. However, the 31-passenger buses
were much too large to use in daily operations within the historic downtown area of Taos,
according to Gus Cordova, town manager of Taos. "We realized the large buses would be out
of character and not in keeping with the historic district," Cordova said. "As a result, we've
negotiated the permanent transfer of two 20-passenger transit vans from Vail which will
compliment our existing fleet."
Vail has agreed to transfer title of the two transit vans to Taos following the World Alpine Ski
Championships this winter. "The vans ended up being a better fit for their current needs,"
Grafel said, "so in this case, each community ends up a winner."
In addition, Cordova says he's ask Vail to negotiate a cooperative agreement with Taos that
would allow Taos the opportunity to borrow some of the large buses in the event they could be
used for a special event or to transport tourists during a week-long convention. Although the
need would rarely occur, Cordova says the proposal would be in keeping with the creative
partnership.
The Town of Vail operates the largest free transit system in the nation. Its fleet consists of 45
buses and vans.

Mayor
AROSA/GARNIISCH FIELD
BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN TBE IRREVERSIBLE DEVELOPTErTT
OF THIS PRECIOUS LAND, PLEASE CONSIDER TBE FOLLOWING:
Background.• This land includes 41ots bought in 1990 with RE7T funds (collected for preserving
open space and parks) which may have been reimbursed by the General Fund. An additional
portion of the land was acquired later through a trade of Trapper's Run to the Forest Service.
• Approxinately 100 neighborhood residents and property owners have eapressed strong-
desire, through petitions, that this entire parcel remain open.,
• This neighborhood has no accessible open space within it, and no recreational amenities-
even though most other Vail nei;hborhoods are enhanced by bike paths, parks and
natural open parcels. This neighborhood is relatively densely built and highly occupied, so
there is more need for a substantial open space/pazk here than for any additional density.
• As the only town-owned open land in this neighborhood, it is very reasonable to eapect
the entire 5.9 acres to remain open, since that still amounts to a significantly smaller
town-protected open space than the average open acreage enjoyed by other Vail
neighborhoods. Bighom Park, Booth Creek Park, Buffehr Park, Sandstone Park and
Stephen's Park provide other neighborhoods with an average of 8.59 open acres each. It
therefore is only fair that the entire Arosa/Garnusch pazcel (only 5.9 acres) remains open
space. Because Buffehr Park (closest of the existing parks to this neighborhood) is so small (.9
acre), the West Vail (north) area, overall, is lagging far behind other areas in terms of town-
owned open space.... Yet this azea accommodates major commercial development. There is at
least as much need to protect a substantial open space here as anywhere else in town.
• The streets between here and the Frontage Road are are steep, winding and narrow, not
to mention icy at times. There is not room to widen the shoulders or add bike paths. The
safety of little children (iuho play in the streets), pedestrians, pets, and cyclists is already in
jeopardy. That is one reason families have moved down vallev from here. Any more densrty
will further jeopardize the health of this neighborhood. .
• The Arosa/Garmisch intersection has an unusual configuration and is not a safe place to
complicate the traffic pattern.
• Trapper's Run is not town land and therefore no more a neighborhood park than Vaii
Mountain is. Every Vai1 neighborhood borders Narional Forest, as the Arosa/Garmisch
neighborhood does. Every neighborhood also has an average of at least 8.59 acres of
neighborhood open space/park within it.
Please trent this neighborhood fairly, as if it were your own. Thank you.

An Open Letter to the Vail Town Council:
On November 17 you will send a very strong message to your entire constituency and all
the working neighborhoods of Vail as you vote on the fate of the Arosa/Garmisch land. If you are
responsive to input and if density really was taken off the table on June 30, as you said it «Tas,
you Nvil) votc to Icavc thc Arosa/Glrmisch 11nd cntircly opcn.
The input from ncighborhood residcnts and othcrs who took thc mid-Octobcr bus tours to
this West Vail site was so ovenvhelmingly against any development of this land that the cvening
meeting ran two hours longer than scheduled to accommodate all tlie conuiients favoring zero
dcnsity. There wcrc ncw faccs on these tours. At thc cnd of thc subsequent debriefing meeting,
attended by people who did not necessarily go on the tours, 24 voted for zcro density, 10 asked
for niorc information bcforc dccidinb on dcnsily, and 3 votcd for R units. Olhcrs favoring zCro , density had left by the time the vote was taken since zero density Nvas not even allowed in the
discussion that night.
November 17 is an important opportunity for you to live up to the greatest promise by
which you wcre clccted, namcly that you would be responsive. You havc bcen-presented with
pctitions rcquesting that you leavc our neigliborhood ficlds undcvclopcd. You have becn kcpt late
at meetings by people defending the open space in their neighborhoods. You have cut offor
postponed this type of public comment, apparently because there xvas more of it than you had
eYpected so it did not fit into the time you had schcdulcd. You have becn sued. This amounts to a
huge aniount of feedback. It is coming from a wide range of caring Vailitcs, most of them the
working locals you say you want to kecp here; not just a few individuals, not some radical
faction, not somc lobby group.
Novcmbcr 17 is an important momcnt of truth. Your dccision about Arosa/Gannisch will
indicatc to all the local ncighborhoods Nvlicthcr you respcct and will act according to thcir
opinions when their time comes. For the sake of morale, please slart this most excitiug and
challcnging winter season by honoring the ovenvhelming input you havc reccived. Keep
Arosa/Garmisch as opcn spacc for aworking local ncighborhood and trcat the othcr locals
ncigliborhoods with similar respcct.

RE: Lionshead Master Plan
We would like to make the following comments to echo the points raised in a letter dated
October 28 from the Presidents of the Landmark and Westwind Condominium
Associations concerning the proposed plan.
1. 71' AVERAGE MAXIMUM HEIGHT, Chapter 8, Section 3.2.3
Our understanding of the description of the intent of this part of the plan is that it
provided for the "step back" requirements to be separate issues from the allowable
building height; the majority of the ridge heights would then be at 71 feet. As the plan
now describes this provision., it allows for heights of 82 %z feet for most of the roof ridge
he-ights. We would ask that you reconsider this part of the plan to separate the "step-
back" requirements from the allowable building height.
2. NORTH DAY LOT, Chapter 5, Section 5.8
We support the planners, who suggest that the transportation center proposed for this
location be covered. We are very concerned about the noise and appearance of the
proposed transportation center in the North Day Lotas well as the security of the area and
the pollution generated by the transportation vehicles. We also trust that you will
consider mandating a physical barrier between the transportation center and the
Landmark.
Finally, Section 5.9.1 identifies a problem in that the plan does not address the access
needs of the Landmark's front desk; this should be addressed definitively in the final
plan.
11/12/98 THU 16:35 FAg 404 230 1399 SUNTRUST Z003
3. PLAZAS AIVI7 NODES, Chapter 5, Section 5.7.6
Ilis part ofthc plan proposes a small building at the north edge of the Lionshead
pedestrian plaza between the LandTnazk and the Lifthouse. Such a building would block
the pedestrian walkway corridor from the tzansportation center to the skiing area, and we
support the deletion of this structure from the plan. VJe appreciate your consideration. of our comments and ask that this letter be distributed
to each member of the Planning and Envixonmental Commission .
'i"ours Sincerely,
Nlazc A. Bonelli Susan A. $orrelli

Re: Commcnts on the Lionshead Master Plan
Deaz Mayor Ford and Council members:
This firm represents the Board of Managers of the Vail Spa Hameowners Association
(the "Board"). ARer reviewing the Initial Draft Version of the Lionshsad Master Plan (thc "Plan")
submitted to the Vail Town Council on Qctober 20, 1998, we would like to submit the following
cotnments ou behalf of the Board.
1• Peve1Qpment in'West _ionshPad
Thc Board is very cancerned about future devclopment in west Lionshead. It is essential that development in the west Lionshead area be of high quality in order to preserve the value of surrounding property. The Board apposes the proposal in the P1an to locatc empIoyee
houcing in west Lionsheed bacause it will likely lowcr thc property valucs of Vail Spa. Iri add'liiOri,
the Association objects to locating employee housing in west Lionshead because it will have a
disproportionately negative impact an Vail Spa while providing benefits to employers throughout
the comMunity. It is the responsibility of Vail Town Council to pravent placing neg$tive
consaquences of Liomshead redeveloprnent on a small portion of ths Lionshead community, as this
proposal wauld.
In addition, the Board strongly opposes the lowering af the required parldng ratio for
employee housing As discua3ed in scction 4.9,4 of thc Plan. A reduction in parking requiremencs will
not reduce demand for parking but may resu2t in unsafe, unsightly, or illegal parkuig t6roughout the
azea.

- 2. R..nnfiQvira,tian nf linsit His System
The Board is pleased that the plan recpgni2es the popularity of the bus stop Iocated
in &ont of the Marriott, which is the stop used by Vail Spa residents. However, the Soard is quite
concerned about the pntcnrial tenninarion of the in-town transit route at the East Lionshead drop of~
as discussed in secaoa 4.53.3 of the Plan. Tnclusion of the Martiott stop on the in-town route is very
important to the Board because the current West Vail route, which would be the only remaining
route serving Vail Spa residents, does nat providc adequate servicc from the Marriott stop to many
destinations popular with Vail Spa residents. The West Vail routs dnes not include sufficient stops
withiu Lionshead and requires passengers to txansfer buses to rsach several local attractions. The
Boazd values the convenience of the Marriott stop on the in-town route and has included the in-town
rou#e stop in Its promotional tllate!'iAls. The board oppnses the proposed reduction in the service of
the in-town transit route.
3• Possj Je Rede o ment of the.Marriott parkin~ e
The Board is cancerned that future ,rcdcvelopment of the Marriott parldng strueture
will block the mountain view of many of the units within Vail Spa. Protecting the view cdrridor
from Vail Spa is very important to the Baard.
- 4.1 Realianment of SoLt~1.~.1~i1t~g~.~.d_ -
The Boat'd appreciateS thai the Plazt recognizes its interest in partiaipating in any
decisions relating to a reaIignrnent af South Frontage Road and any resulting office in$11
development. Yt would .likc to participata in the decision making process at each stage. Please keep
us informed as to when the pracess will commenee.
5• S,prinkjire Pro ection
As discussed in the Plan, it is important to improve fire safety within the community.
The Bpard believes it is appropriate tn phase in requirements for sprinkler systems in aew
develogtuent or rcdevelopment in Lionshead. However, given the cxpense of installiag a sprinkler
system, it is nat feasiblc to require the installation of these systems in existing buildings, such as
Vail Spa, that are not undergoing extensive remodciing.

PROPOSED BUDGET FOR TOWN OF VAIL PROVIDES FOR FIRE STATION PLANNING,
RETENTION OF CURRENT SERVICES IN 1999
(Vail)--The Vail Town Council wili hold a public hearing on the proposed 1999-2000 biennial
budget during its next regular evening meeting which begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday (11-17). The
proposal contains recommendations for revenues and expenditures for both 1999 and 2000
based on a 10-year revenue forecast. Highlights of the 1999 budget include site planning for a
new fire station, continuation of the town's affordable housing initiatives, free ski season parking
after 3, as well as retention of existing services.
Vail Town Manger Bob McLaurin says the proposal reflects no increase in existing services.
"We've learned that decisions made today have significant ramifications for the future, especial,ly
when we look at the upkeep of our infrastructure or adding new staff positions," said Town _
Manager Bob McLaurin.
McLaurin has repeatedly warned of a potential financial hardship for the town in future years if
adjustments aren't made soon. The problems are caused by expenses out-pacing revenues,
mainty sales taxes, which have barely kept pace with inflation since 1990. "I'm comfortable with
where we are on the budget for 1999, but the problems become more magnified beginning with
the year 2000 and beyond," he said. As a result, McLaurin says he'll be seeking to modify the
2000 budget through a combination of additional cuts, new revenue sources, and/or reallocation
of existing revenues. That process will be undertaken following completion of the World Alpine

Add 1/TOV Budget
Ski Championships, he said, when there's more time to focus attention on the matter. "Although
we have some difficult decisions ahead, I'm confident we can work together to make this place
the envy of other ski resort communities facing the same challenges," McLaurin said.
For 1999, highlights of the recommended $30.6 million budget are as folJows:
• Projects 4 percent increase in sales tax collections from 1998 budget; sales tax makes
up 52 percent of the town's revenues "
- • Provides for 13 new employees, including 4 dispatchers for operation of the valleywide
911 system, 1 police sergeant to be funded by a grant, 1 computer tech position and the
equivalent of 7 bus drivers to meet federal labor standards
• Provides site planning expenses for a new fire station to be operable in June 2001
• Provides for construction and acquisition of affordable housing units outlined in the
Common Ground plan
• Provides funding for street reconstruction of the Lionsridge Loop area, as well as a
remodel of the Library basement (formerly the Vail Recreation District offices)
• Provides for an expansion of Buffehr Creek Park and completion of the North Trail
• Provides one-time expenses associated with the World Alpine Ski Championships
• Provides funding for an economic development study
• Retains the "Park After Free" program
• Provides funding for community facilities planning outlined in the Common Ground plan
• Provides a merit pool of 4.5 percent for employee salary adjustments
Following Tuesday's public hearing, the Council will consider first reading approval of the
biennial budget. Final consideratian is schedu{ed for the Dec. 1 evening meeting. For a copy of the proposed budget, contact the Town of Vail Community Information Office at

Dear Rob:
I was very uplifted by the playback of ideas generated by
the outside business executives over their short brainstorming
session November 12 and 13.
We need to move forward and "do something" in a number of areas.
I encourage short brainstorming sessions within the council,
staff and members of the public. In a number of areas we need to
load, shoot and aim.
But we are still saddled with this whole employee housing issue,
which has become a millstone around our necks. We made a valiant
attempt at a public-input driven process--and ended up with a huge
staff/Council workload, that was more_then it should have been.
Lets do this:
l. Focus on seasonal housing--an area where we know the needs
profile, and can control the outcome,over time. Lets build
a high rise apartment complex on Mountain Bell, qickly.
It will be "state-of-the-art", with adequate bathrooms, sitting
areas, etc.. We can staff it with "dorm master" type folks who
can relate to the residents. If done right, it will not be a
"ghetto", any more than the high rise Polo Club apartment in
Denver is a ghetto. In parallel, get on with Timber Ridge.
2. Put this whole,For Sale housing on open space issue,on hold.
We are now starting to understand what happens over time
with the Vail Commons--some of the good intentions are
frankly starting to erode. In the end, the analogue may well
be rent controlled housing in New York City---a good idea gone bad.
Red Sandstone is aimed primarily at town employees, and this
will probably work out, with more predictability,over time.
With the For Sale issue on hold, we can then start to think
"outside the box" for new ideas for service employees to gain
property equity in our town, using an approach that relies
much more on the private sector and is self-correcting over
time. I don.`t know what it is, but I know its out there,
based on".the ideas we are seeing from the open space opposition
and our assembled group of business executives.
Rob, we need leadership,and at the moment, that's you as far
as the town is concerned. Make corrections, and keep leading.
