Bill Pierce • This is a big step in the right direction. • A transparent loading dock gate is desirable. • The use of indigenous/existing materials is encouraged. • New windows should blend with the existing concept. • The fascia strips should be carried consistently throughout. • The parapet may be out of proportion. • The skylight may not be necessary. • The cupola/periscope feature is ok. • The zinc panels are good - but maybe not vertically aligned. • Get the loading dock functioning, then save as many trees as you can. • We may want to see if AIPP would like to get involved. Maybe on the gates? Hans Woldrich • Concurs with Brent and Bill. • The addition should be "quiet" and secondary to the existing building. • The canopy should not be as bright or glitzy.

Community Development Department Published March 5, 1998 in the Vail Trail 2 Memorandum To: Town Council From: Nina Timm Russ Forrest Subject: Development Program for the A-Frame site at 2657 Arosa Drive Date: March 9, 1999 1. Purpose The purpose of this work session is to review a proposed redevelopment plan for the A- Frame site and to request Councils approval to proceed through the development process. Staff has held two neighborhood meetings with the residents surrounding the A-Frame site to discuss the redevelopment. Several concerns were raised at the first meeting about the potential development and one of the neighbors, Kathy Langenwalter, offered a revised development plan. This revised design, which is attached, was discussed with the neighbors on March 3, 1999 and was well received. II. Description of Design The plan calls for the demolition of the existing 4 bedroom single family home to be replaced by a duplex. The north side of the duplex will have 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a two-car garage. The south side of the duplex will have 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a two- car garage. There will not be a caretaker unit within the development, as currently proposed. Due to the narrow configuration of the lot, the existing drainage along the east edge of the property and the steep slopes on the western side of the site, a rear yard setback variance will be required in order to develop the current plan. III. Next Steps If the Council approves the development program as designed, the Town will incorporate this component into the Arosa/Garmisch Request For Qualifications. The goal will be to hire a single development team to construct the neighborhood park, six units at Arosa/Garmisch, and the duplex on the A-Frame site.

The changes are highlighted in the ordinance. No changes have been made to the "Mitigation of Development Impacts" section. Staff is looking for some direction about this section. Staff is simply verifying that these are the changes Council desires. Additionally, you will find in your packet a copy of the PEC memo on the proposed Marriott redevelopment. Included in this memo is a report about timeshares that is very informative. \\VAI L\DATA\EVERYONE\COUNCI L\ME MO S\99\lion3 O S.d o c ORDINANCE NO. 3 Series of 1999 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 12, ZONING REGULATIONS, BY ADDING TWO NEW ZONE DISTRICTS AS CHAPTER 7H: LIONSHEAD MIXED USE 1 DISTRICT AND CHAPTER 71: LIONSHEAD MIXED USE 2 DISTRICT IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT THE LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN; AMENDING CHAPTER 2, DEFINITIONS, SECTION 12-2- 2: DEFINITIONS; AMENDING CHAPTER 4, DISTRICTS ESTABLISHED, SECTION 12-4-1: DESIGNATED, BY ADDING LIONSHEAD MIXED USE 1 DISTRICT AND LIONSHEAD MIXED USE 2 DISTRICT; AMENDING CHAPTER 10, OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING, SECTION 12-10-17: LEASING OF PARKING SPACES; AMENDING CHAPTER 10, OFF- STREET PARKING AND LOADING, SECTION 12-10-16: EXEMPT AREAS; PARKING FUND ESTABLISHED; AMENDING CHAPTER 13, EMPLOYEE HOUSING, SECTION 12-13-6: TYPE III EMPLOYEE HOUSING UNIT; AMENDING CHAPTER 13, EMPLOYEE HOUSING, SECTION 12-13-7: TYPE IV EMPLOYEE HOUSING UNIT; AMENDING CHAPTER 14, SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS, SECTION 12-14-19: SATELLITE DISH ANTENNAS; AMENDING CHAPTER 15, GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA, SECTION 12-15-3: DEFINITION, CALCULATION, AND.

The applicant is proposing to "re-skin" the exterior of the hotel, convert "Windows" restaurant to four condominiums (6,625 sq.ft.) and convert 8 hotel rooms to Type III Employee Housing Units. The proposed remodel is intended to bring the existing hotel building into compliance with the design guidelines prescribed by the recently adopted Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and increase the overall quality of the hotel. The applicant is also requesting a conditional use permit pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations to allow for 66 interval ownership units in the Gore Creek Club. The new club will be constructed in Phase III of the Marriottt development area atop the existing parking structure. The club will be comprised of 66 lodging-type of units totaling approximately 75,000 square feet of GRFA. As an interval ownership club, the 66 units will be sold in 1/20th intervals. 1/20th intervals guarantees each owner approximately 17 days per year in the Vail Valley. The applicant anticipates offering owners the opportunity to exchange their club unit within the international exchange market. Other components of the new club include a full-time front desk for registration and reservations, an owner's lounge, a health club & spa facility, on-site laundry services and a 61 parking space F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Marrioti 1 1 MWN nF van. expansion to the existing parking structure. The 61 new spaces are intended to offset the increase in parking demand created by the construction of the new club. Approximately 1,912 square feet of retail space will be constructed on the north side of the club adjacent to West Lionshead Circle. A copy of the proposed interval ownership program is attached for reference. In addition to the improvements to the existing hotel and the construction of the new club, the applicant is also proposing site improvements to the property. Proposed site improvements include the removal of an existing landscape berm on the south side of the property to provide easy access to the creek and bike path, new landscaping on the south side of the hotel, a redesign of the existing loading and delivery area and the implementation of the recommended streetscape improvements along the south side of West Lionshead Circle. According to the Town of Vail Municipal Code, it shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that any deviation from the development standards of the underlying zoning provide public benefits that outweigh the adverse effect of said deviation. The applicant has identified the public benefits the community will realize as a result of the redevelopment of the Vail Village Inn site. The public benefits identified by the applicant include: 1. An increase in the annual hotel occupancy rate through the redevelopment of an older, existing hotel. 2. A significant increase in the Town's supply of short-term, overnight accommodations to serve our guests and visitors. 3. The creation of a commercial/retail space along West Lionshead Circle. 4. The implementation of the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan along West Lionshead Circle. 5. The construction of a world-class "anchor" hotel providing a high-level of guest service. 6. The implementation of the objectives stated in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 7. The construction of employee housing to off-set the demand resulting from the redevelopment of the hotel project. 8. A sizeable annual contribution to the Town's sales tax revenue. 9. The partial elimination of an existing on-street loading and delivery area. II. BACKGROUND The establishment of Special Development District No.7, the Marriottt Vail Mountain Resort, was approved by Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1977, by the Vail Town Council. The expressed purpose for establishing SDD No. 7 was to allow for an increase in density beyond what was otherwise permitted by the underlying zoning of Public Accommodation and High Density Multi-Family. Public benefits realized since the approval of SDD No. 7 have been an increase in short-term rental units available to visitors of Vail and an increase in summer visitation due to the construction of a convention facility within the Marriottt Vail Mountain Resort. F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Marriott 1 2 Special Development District No. 7 has been amended since its establishment in 1976. The most recent amendment was in September of 1995. Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1995 permitted the conversion of seventeen dwelling units within the hotel to accommodation units and required that at least 294 parking spaces be provided in the structure. A building permit was issued by the Community Development Department and the dwelling units were converted and the parking structure was re-striped to accommodate 294 parking spaces. The existing Marriottt is a mixed use development. The current uses on the site include 14 dwelling units and approximately 320 hotel rooms, a restaurant and bar, convention and meeting room facilities and a minimal amount of retail/commercial space. According to the Official town of Vail Zoning Map, the applicant's property is zoned Special development District No. 7. The underlying zoning for SDD No. 7 is both Public Accommodation and High Density Multi-family. Tract 1 (the parking structure site) is zoned High Density Multi- family and Tract 2 (the existing hotel) of the SDD is zoned Public Accommodation. Pursuant to the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the Public Accommodation Zone district is intended, " to provide sites for lodges and residential accommodations for visitors, together with such public and semi-public facilities and limited professional offices, medical facilities, private recreation, and related visitor oriented uses as may appropriately be located in the same district. The Public Accommodation District is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a winter and summer recreation and vacation community, and where permitted are intended to function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the District. The Public Accommodation District is intended to provide sites for lodging units at densities not to exceed twenty five (25) dwelling units per acre." The High Density Multi-family Zone District is intended, "The High Density Multiple-Family District is intended to provide sites for multiple- family dwellings at densities to a maximum of twenty five (25) dwelling units per acre, together with such public and semi-public facilities and lodges, private recreation facilities and related visitor-oriented uses as may appropriately be located in the same district. The High Density Multiple-Family District is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with high density apartment, condominium and lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable residential and resort qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. Certain nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses, which relate to the nature of Vail as a winter and summer recreation and vacation community and, where permitted, are intended to blend harmoniously with the residential character of the District." F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Marnott1 3 According to Section 12-6H-3, Conditional Uses, time share units shall be permitted in the High Density Multi-family Zone District, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations., Pursuant to Section 12-16-1 of the Zoning Regulations, the purpose of a conditional use permit is to, "in order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this Title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this Title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this Chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the Town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the Town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the Town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied." III. ZONING ANALYSIS The development standards for a Special Development District shall be proposed by the applicant. Development standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density control, site coverage, landscaping and parking and loading shall be determined by the Town Council as part of the approved development plan, with consideration of the recommendations of the Planning and Environmental Commission. Before the Town Council approves development standards that deviate from the underlying zone district, it shall be determined that such deviations provide benefits to the Town that outweigh the effects of such deviations. This determination is to be made based upon the evaluation of the proposed Special Development District's compliance with the Review Criteria outlined in the following section. In addition, the staff has evaluated the project for compliance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The development area is within the overall study area of the Plan which is discussed in detail in Chapter 4. The Community Development Department staff has prepared a Zoning Analysis for the Gore Creek Club and the proposed remodel to the existing hotel. The Zoning Analysis compares the development standards outlined by the underlying zoning of Public Accommodation and High Density Multi-family to the applicant's proposed major amendment. The proposed deviations from the development standards of the underlying zoning are indicated in BOLD.

THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT MAJOR AMENDMENT PROCESS Chapter 12-9 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code provides for the amendment of existing Special Development Districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1, the purpose of a Special Development District is, "To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of the new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development District, in conjunction with the properties underlying zone district, shall establish the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the Special Development District." According to Section 12-9A-2, a major amendment to a Special Development District is defined as, "Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved special development district (other than "minor amendments" as defined in this Section), except as provided under Sections 12-15-4, "Interior Conversions", or 12-15-5, "Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance)" of this Title." The Municipal Code provides a framework for the amendment of an established Special Development District. According to the Municipal Code, prior to site preparation, building construction, or other improvements to land within a Special Development District, there shall be an approved development plan for the Special Development District. The approved development plan establishes requirements regulating development, uses and activity within the Special Development District. Upon final review of a proposed major amendment of an existing Special Development District, a report from the Planning and Environmental Commission stating its findings and recommendations and a staff report shall be forwarded to the Town Council, in accordance with the provisions listed in Section 12-16-6 of the Municipal Code. The Town Council's consideration of the Special Development District shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code and approved by two readings of an ordinance. An approved development plan is the principal document in guiding the development, uses and activities of the Special Development District. The development plan shall contain all relevant material and information necessary to establish the parameters with which the Special Development District shall adhere. The development plan may consist of, but not be limited to, the approved site plan, floor plans, building sections and elevations, vicinity plan, parking plan, preliminary open space/landscape plan, densities and permitted, conditional and accessory uses. F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Marriott1 6 The determination of permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be made by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council as part of the formal review of the proposed development plan. Unless further restricted through the review of the proposed Special Development District, permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be limited to those permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the properties underlying zone district. The Municipal Code provides nine design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed major amendment to a Special Development District. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The staff has addressed each of the nine SDD review criteria below: A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The proposed redevelopment of the exterior of the Marriottt Mountain Resort at Vail and the Gore Creek Club are consistent with the redevelopment objectives outlined in the recently adopted Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The exterior building materials of the Marriottt Hotel are a mixture of stone, stucco and wood. The roof material is proposed to be asphalt shingles. Stone will be used around the base of the building. The applicant has proposed that the exterior stucco color be an off-white. Staff believes that the combination of building materials proposed has been well incorporated into the design of the Marriottt Hotel. The exterior building materials of the Gore Creek Club are also a mixture of stone, stucco and wood. The roof material will be asphalt shingles. The Town of Vail Design Review Board will have the opportunity to review the building exteriors prior to final approval of the hotel and new club. The height of the hotel exceeds the allowable building height of the Public Accommodation Zone District by approximately 75 feet. The development standards for the underlying zone district indicate that the maximum height for buildings with sloping roofs shall be 48 feet. The height of the existing building is 85 feet. The applicant is requesting that the maximum building height for the Marriottt Hotel be approximately 123 feet tall, to accommodate the two towers, which are intended to break up the mass of the structure. The height of the Gore Creek Club exceeds the height limitation prescribed for the High density Multi-family Zone District. The maximum allowable height per the zoning regulations is 48'. The applicant is proposing a maximum building height of 82.5 feet. The average height of the building, as measured along the primary roof forms is less than 71 feet. The proposed height is consistent with height considerations outlined in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Staff believes that the proposed height of each of the buildings is reasonable and appropriate. B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The existing Marriottt Hotel and the proposed Gore Creek Club are bordered to the north by the Vail Spa Condominiums and the Enzian Condominiums, to the south by the Gore Creek stream corridor and Primary/Secondary Residential development, to the west by a F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Nlarriott1 7 vacant development site currently used for surface parking and to the east by the Antler's Condominiums, the Montaneros Condominiums and the commercial spaces in the Concert Hall Plaza Building. The applicant is proposing a mixed-use development that is in compliance with the uses allowed in the underlying zone districts. The underlying zoning of Public Accommodation and High Density Multi-family encourages the development of lodges (accommodation units) and accessory eating, drinking and retail establishments. The interval ownership component of the Gore Creek Club is allowed in the High Density Multi-family Zone District subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. A complete staff review of the conditional use permit criteria can be found in Section V of this memorandum. The proposed uses comply with the proposed zoning for Lionshead and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Employee Housing Requirements As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the planning process for Special Development District proposals. In reviewing the proposal for employee housing needs, staff relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. The guidelines contained within the report were used most recently in the review of the Austria Haus development proposal. The Employee Housing Report, was prepared for the Town by the consulting firm Rosall, Remmen and Cares. The report provides the recommended ranges of employee housing units needed based on the type of use and the amount of floor area dedicated to each use. Utilizing the guidelines prescribed in the Employee Housing Report, the staff analyzed the incremental increase of employees (square footage per use), that result from the redevelopment. A copy of the Suggested Employment Categories and Ranges for Vail Expressed as Employees per 1000 Square Feet has been attached for reference. The figures identified in the Housing Report are based on surveys of commercial-use employment needs of the Town of Vail and other mountain resort communities. For comparison purposes, Telluride, Aspen and Whistler B.C. all have "employment generation" ordinances requiring developers to provide affordable housing for a percentage of the "new" employees resulting from commercial development. "New" employees are defined as the incremental increase in employment needs resulting from commercial redevelopment. Each of the communities assesses a different percentage of affordable housing a developer must provide for the "new" employees. For example, Telluride requires developers to provide housing for 40% (0.40) of the "new" employees, Aspen requires that 60% (0.60) of the "new" employees are provided housing and Whistler requires that 100% (1.00) of the "new" employees be provided housing by the developer. In comparison, Vail has conservatively determined that developers shall provide housing for 15% (0.15) or 30% (0.30) of the ,new" employees resulting from commercial development. When a project is proposed to exceed the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 30% (0.30) figure is used in the calculation. If a project is proposed at, or below, the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 15% (0.15) figure is used. The Vail Plaza Hotel special development district major amendment proposal exceeds the density permitted by the underlying zone district, and therefore, the 30% figure shall be used. F:\everyone\pec\memos\99\Marriott 1 8 EMPLOYEE HOUSING GENERATION ANALYSIS The staff analysis below indicates the top, the middle and the bottom of the ranges recommended by the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report, as well as a staff recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing needs of the Gore Creek Club. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows: Bottom of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commercial =1,912 sq. ft. @(5/1000 sq. ft.) = 9.56 employees b) Multi Family (Club Units) =66 units @(.4/unit) =26.40 employees Total Employees 35.96 = employees (X 0.30 multiplier) 10.79 = new employees Middle of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commercial = 1,912 sq. ft. @(6.5/1000 sq. ft.) = 12.43 employees b) Multi Family (Club Units) = 66 units @(.4/unit) = 26.40 employees Total Employees = 38.83 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) = 11.65 new employees Top of Range Calculations: a) Retail/Service Commercial = 1,912 sq. ft. @(8/1000 sq. ft.) = 15.30 employees b) Multi Family (Club Units) = 66 units @(.4/unit) = 26.40 employees Total Employees = 41.70 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) = 12.51 new employees Staff Recommended Range Calculations: The staff believes that the Gore Creek Club will create a need for 36 additional employees. Of the 36 additional employees, at least 11(10.78) employees (30%) will need to be provided deed- restricted housing by the developers of the Vail Plaza Hotel. The staff recommended range is based on: 1. the type of retail and commercial use proposed in the commercial space within the Gore Creek Club; 2. the size of the Gore Creek Club lodging component; 3. the result of research completed by Town of Vail staff of similar hotel operations in the Vail Valley. 9 a) Retail/Service Commercial = 1,912 sq. ft. @(5/1000 sq. ft.) = 9.56 employees (bottom of range) b) Multi Family (Club Units) =66 units @(.4/unit) = 26.40 employees (range does not vary) Total = 35.96 employees (X 0.30 multiplier) = 10.78 new employees Lodging has a particularly large variation of employees per room, depending upon factors such as size of facility and level of service/support services and amenities provided. Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two employees per bedroom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible of accommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type III employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. The applicant has proposed to provide a minimum of six employee housing units. The units would be deed-restricted as Type III ehu's and located on the garden level of the Marriottt Hotel. Of the six units, three would be one bedroom units and three would be studio units. The applicant is proposing two employees in each of the one bedroom units and one employee in each of the studio units. A total of nine employees would be provided housing. Overall, staff believes that the density and uses proposed by the applicant for the Marriottt and the Gore Creek Club do not conflict with the compatibility, efficiency or workability of the surrounding uses and/or activities. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Parking and loading requirements for development are established in Chapter 12-10 of the Municipal Code. The parking and loading requirements are based on the square footage of the uses proposed within a building. The applicant is proposing a total of three loading/delivery berths. The loading/delivery area is existing on the north side of the hotel and has been redesigned to accommodate three trucks. This area can handle trucks up.to 50-feet in length. Additionally, an on- street loading and delivery area has been. reduced in size to help alleviate conflicts with cars and buses. The on-street space is intended only for temporary, short-term parking should the three on site spaces be occupied. Another loading/delivery area is located on the west side of the hotel between the hotel and the Gore Creek Club. This area is intended only for use of the conference space inside the hotel. It is not designed to accommodate deliveries to the hotel. No loading/delivery area has been provided for the use of the Gore Creek Club. The staff has reviewed the proposed loading/delivery plan. Upon review of the plan we believe the proposal does not meet the minimum standards for loading/delivery for the hotel and the new club. While we understand that the applicant is limited by the existing configuration and layout of the hotel, we believe it is necessary for the loading/delivery situation to be resolved with this redevelopment proposal. According to the loading/delivery standards outlined in the Municipal Code, a minimum of five berths are required. At a minimum, loading/delivery needs to be provided in a realistic manner for the Gore Creek Club. Should the Gore Creek Club ever become a stand alone building 10 from the Marriottt, minimum standards would not be met. D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plan. Vail Land Use Plan The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process for a major amendment to an existing special development district. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies are relevant to the review of this proposal: 1. General Growth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water, and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgrade whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill). 3. Commercial 3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skier. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 4. Village Core/Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through the implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 11 5. Residential 5.1 Quality timeshare units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. 5.2 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. The Vail Land Use Plan projects a need for additional lodging units in the Town of Vail. While the statistical information used to project need is most likely, outdated, .staff believes there continues to be a need for additional lodging units in the Town of Vail. The Plan projected a need for a total of 395 additional lodging units by the year 2000. The Plan further suggests that increased density for commercial, residential and lodging uses in the Village/Lionshead Core areas would be acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is being preserved. Staff believes the proposed major amendment of Special Development District (#7) is in concert with the goals and policies of the Vail Land Use Plan as outlined above. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was adopted by the Vail Town Council in December of 1998. The purpose of the plan is to encourage redevelopment and new development initiatives within the Lionshead area. The plan outlines the goals and objectives for the enhancement of Lionshead and proposes recommendations, incentives and requirements for redevelopment and new development. Chapter Four of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan identifies issues and provides recommendations that need to be considered in all planning and policy decisions as Lionshead redevelops. The applicant's properties are located in what is identified in the plan as the Resort Lodging Hub. This area is located just west of the Lionshead Commercial Core and is comprised of mostly high-density residential development. All future plans and proposals should work to reinforce the residential character of the area. New development should aim for quieter pedestrian streets, well-defined pedestrian connections and more intensive landscaping and higher quality streetscape development. The plan further suggests that new development be constructed on a north-south orientation to improve physical, visual and sun access to the buildings and the streets below. The plan proposes improvements to the intersection of West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place. Currently, this intersection handles heavy loads of traffic for lodging and service deliveries. The plan suggests the elimination of on-street loading and delivery and an improved pedestrian area at the intersection. To this end, the plan recommends that loading and delivery areas be deep enough into the building or property to prevent delivery trucks from blocking vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The plan further recommends that these areas be landscaped and/or screened to improve the aesthetic quality of the streetscape. In no case, however, shall a property utilize the public roadway or pedestrian area to stage service and delivery vehicles. 12 Lastly, in Chapter Four, the plan encourages the creation of landmark features in Lionshead. A landmark feature is a significant architectural element that all visitors to Lionshead can identify and remember. Landmarks signify important points entry, critical intersections in the pedestrian network, as well as destinations and visual reference points. Appropriate locations for landmark features are the east pedestrian portal, the central retail mall area and the west pedestrian portal in the vicinity of the intersection of West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place. Chapter Five of the plan provides detailed recommendations based upon the examination of individual parcels of land in the Lionshead area. The intent of the examination. is to identify important objectives for redevelopment of specific parcels in Lionshead. The recommendations for the Marriottt property are listed below: 5.13 The Marriottt With approximately 320 rooms, the Marriottt is the only supply of hot beds in Lionshead. The single largest structure in Lionshead, it is also very visible, especially from the west. It is consequently a high priority renovation project, and all reasonable measures should be taken by the Town of Vail to encourage and facilitate its enhancement. Specific issues regarding this property are as follows: 5.13.1 Redevelopment or Development of the Parking Structure The best opportunity for new development on the Marriottt property is the existing parking structure (figure 5-17). If this site is developed, attention should be given to the relationship between the development, Gore Creek, the Gore Creek recreation path, and the west day lot. Vertical development should step back from the recreation path, and there should be a clear separation (most likely a landscape buffer) between the public space of the recreation path and the private space of the residential units. 5.13.2 Infill Opportunities There are several tennis courts on the south side of the Marriottt. This area presents an opportunity for low-rise infill development, that eases the visual and physical transition from the existing structure to the Gore Creek recreation path. 5.13.3 Opportunities for Fagade Renovation Exterior renovation of the Marriottt is a community priority, but the size and dimensions of the structure present a challenge, and it is unlikely that the architectural design guidelines (see Chapter 8) can be fully met. However, this should not discourage exterior renovation, and the Town of Vail Design Review. Board should insure that the intent of the guidelines is met. (This is a basic premise of the architectural design guidelines, relevant to all existing buildings in Lionshead). 5.13.4 West Lionshead Circle in Front of the Marriottt Any future development or redevelopment of the Marriottt property should include 13 a continuous secondary pedestrian walk on the south side of West Lionshead Circle. A pavement snowmelt system is strongly recommended because of icing problems on the walkway in winter. Chapter Eight of the plan prescribes the architectural design guidelines for redevelopment and new development in Lionshead. The intent of the guidelines is to direct the growth of the community through distinct levels of perception, from views of the neighborhood from the mountain and highway, to perceptions within its pedestrian streets, to the detail level of artistry and ornamentation on the structures themselves. Staff believes that it is most appropriate for the Town of Vail Design Review Board to review the plan for compliance with Chapter Eight of the plan. Overall, staff believes that the applicant's proposal complies with the various provisions of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The proposal addresses landscape improvements, exterior fagade improvements to the existing hotel, pedestrian improvements both to and from the street, lodging improvements utilizing infill development and the creation of a landmark feature to help identify the western portal to Lionshead. The applicant has also proposed to enhance the pedestrian experience at the intersection of West Lionshead Circle and Lionshead Place by proposing new activity generating commercial uses on the corner. If there is an area where staff believes the applicant's proposal may fail to comply with the plan, it is in the design and operation of the loading and delivery area. Staff believes that the loading and delivery area should be redesigned to insure an adequate number of berths to accommodate service and delivery vehicles to prevent loading and delivery from the public right of way and to insure that the berths are adequately designed to prevent service and delivery vehicles from impeding traffic flows. Additionally, at a minimum, loading and delivery facilities should be designed into the Gore Creek Club so that the club can operate as a stand alone building should it ever need to be. E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. There are no natural and/or geologic hazards that effect the applicant's property. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The applicant has proposed to deviate from the setbacks prescribed by the underlying zoning. The underlying zoning prescribes 20-foot setbacks at the exterior lot lines. The applicant is proposing a seven foot setback from the west property, zero setbacks at the ground level on the east and north property lines, and more than 50 feet from the centerline of Gore Creek. The proposed setbacks allow for a minimal landscape buffer to be planted around the perimeter of the Gore Creek Club. The setbacks for the existing . hotel remain unchanged. The applicant has maintained a 20 foot building separation between the buildings on the interior of the development. The building setbacks allow for the required building separation and provide adequate pedestrian-traffic circulation. The proposed zoning for Lionshead and the master plan requires 10' setback along the west property line. The applicant is proposing to exchange two portions of Town of Vail right of way for additional stream tract area. The areas in question are at the front entrance to the Gore 14 Creek Club and at the eastern end of the Marriottt hotel. The exchange of land would be on a square foot-to-square foot basis. The applicant believes that the exchange would result in a win/win situation for both the Town and the property owner. The applicant has submitted a detailed sun/shade analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to illustrate the impacts of the redevelopment of the existing hotel and the construction of the new club the public right-of-way and adjacent properties. While the increased building heights will increase the amount of shading on the areas to the north of the development site, staff believes the increases are minimal and will not have any negative impacts on existing or future development. A copy of the sun/shade analysis has been attached for reference. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. Staff believes that the proposal complies with the circulation system criteria described above. The applicant has worked closely with the Town Engineer to design a circulation system that is both functional and efficient. As stated previously, with the exception of the front entry drop-off spaces under the porte cochere, all of the parking will be in an underground structure. The applicant will also provide a much needed sidewalk along the south side of West Lionshead Circle connecting the pedestrian traffic to the South Frontage Road. The proposed vehicle and pedestrian traffic circulation plan complies with the recommendation outlined in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. The applicant is proposing to implement landscape improvements around the existing hotel and around the new club. As part of the improvements, the applicant will be providing a pedestrian connection from the hotel and club down to the streamwalk. Staff would recommend that the applicant increase the landscaping and enhance the streetscape at the entrance to the new club. No landscaping is currently proposed in this area. The staff would suggest that the final landscape plan be reviewed and approved by the Town of Vail Design Review Board. 1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Phasing of development is not proposed. The applicant is required to submit a construction phasing and staging plan to the Town prior to receiving a building permit. The plan will be used to ensure an efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses during the redevelopment of the hotel and the construction of the club. V CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The following criteria are to be used by the Planning & Environmental Commission to when evaluating a request for a conditional use permit. 15 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The applicant's property is located in an area identified as the Resort Lodging Hub of Lionshead. This area is characterized by residential and lodging-type of development intended to provide accommodation for our guest, residents and visitors. A long standing goal of Vail as a resort community is to maintain and enhance the short-term overnight accommodations. A substantial hotel bedbase is critical to the continued success of our resort market. There are many means of maintaining and enhancing the short-term overnight accommodations. The obvious is to build strictly hotel rooms. A second means is timeshare and other forms of interval ownership. The possible benefits of timeshare include: ? Increased activity during shoulder seasons ? The attraction of revenue generating tourists ? Efficient utilization of resources ? Pride ownership and buy-in to the community ? Increased levels of occupancy Increased resort exposure due to the extensive number of interval owners Reduced cost of property ownership in a resort community Overall,. staff believes that the applicant's proposal to construct 66 1/20th interval ownership units in the Gore Creek Club is positive. Interval ownership units and the use thereof are compatible with existing and surrounding uses. Staff does not believe that the proposed conditional use will not have any negative impacts on the character of the area. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities and other public facility needs. Staff does not believe that the request to construct and operate an interval ownership club will have any negative impacts on the above described criteria over strictly accommodation units. With increased occupancy comes possible increased use of our public facilities. Facilities such as bus system, streamwalk, bike paths, etc. Staff does not believe, however, that the increased use will be detrimental. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and snow removal from the street and parking area. Similar to the criteria #2, staff does not believe that the proposed use will have any negative impacts on the above described criteria. A. Necessary Findings: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this Title and the purposes of the district in which the site 16 9 1 is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this Title. VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Major Amendment The Community Development Department recommends approval of the applicant's request for a major amendment to Special Development District #7, Marriottt, to allow for redevelopment of the existing hotel and the new construction of the Gore Creek Club. Staff's recommendation for approval is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section IV of this memorandum. The staff believes that the proposal is in generally complies with the nine design criteria, as identified in this memorandum. Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to recommend approval of the requested major amendment to the Vail Town Council, staff would recommend that the Commission make the following finding: That the proposed major amendment to Special Development District #7, Marriottt, complies with the nine design criteria outlined in Section 12-9A-8 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. Additionally, the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission that any adverse effects of the requested deviation from the development standards of the underlying zoning are outweighed by the public benefits provided. Conditional Use Permit Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to approve the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the construction and operation of a interval ownership club, staff would recommend that the following finding be made: That the construction and operation of the 66 interval ownership units in the Gore Creek Club adheres to the purpose statements of the High Density Multi-family Zone District and of a conditional use permit as stated in the Town of Vail Municipal Code, Additionally, the construction and operation of the Gore Creek Club will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor will it be materially injurious to the to the properties or improvements in the vicinity of the Club. Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to recommend approval of the requested major amendment, staff would recommend that the approval carry with it the following conditions: 1. That the applicant submit the following plans to the Department of Community Development, for review and approval, as a part of the building permit application for the 17 R hotel: a. An Erosion Control and Sedimentation Plan; b. A Construction Staging and Phasing Plan; C. A Stormwater Management Plan; and e. A Traffic Control Plan. 2. That the applicant provide deed-restricted housing, which complies with the Town of Vail Employee Housing requirements (Chapter 12-13), for a minimum of 10 employees, and that said deed-restricted housing be made available for occupancy, and the deed restrictions recorded with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder, prior to requesting a . Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the Gore Creek Club. 3. That the applicant appear before the Design Review Board for a conceptual review of the proposed improvements prior to appearing before the Vail Town Council for consideration of an ordinance amending the Special Development District and receive final Design Review Board approval of the proposed improvements, prior to application for a building permit. 4. That the applicant redesign the proposed loading/delivery plan to insure that service and delivery vehicles do not block or impede pedestrian and vehicle traffic. 5. That the applicant redesign the proposed plans for the Gore Creek Club to provide a minimum of one off-street loading/delivery berth so the Gore Creek Club can operate as a free-standing facility. 6. That the applicant submit a complete set of civil engineer drawings of all the off-site improvements, including improvements to West Lionshead Circle, the sidewalk from the common property line with Antler's to the South Frontage Road, for the required on-site and off-site storm water drainage and management system, for the pedestrian connection to the streamwalk, for review and approval, prior to application for a building permit. 7. That the applicant submit to the Community Development Department an approval letter from the owner of Lot A to the west of the Gore Creek Club development site granting permission to regrade portions of Lot A as depicted on the proposed plans. 8. That the applicant submit to the Community Development Department an approval letter from the owner of Lot A to the west of the Gore Creek Club development site granting permission to regrade portions of Lot A as depicted on the proposed plans. 9. That the applicant meet with the Town Staff to prepare a letter of agreement outlining the requirements of the off-site improvements, prior to first reading of an ordinance approving the major amendment. 10. That the new sidewalk along the south side of West Lionshead Circle be snowmelted. 11. That the applicant amend the proposed landscape plan and provide increased amount of landscaping at the front entrance to the Gore Creek Club and the retail shops. 12. That the applicant submit a proposed streambank improvement plan to the Community Development Department for review and approval prior to application for a building permit. 18 s Architects, p C. - 1000 S. Fronta~le Road Wes Vail, Colorado 81657 Tel: 4 (970) 476-1147 Fax: .(970) 476-1612 December 2, 1998 February 7, 1999 (revised) George Ruther Town of Vail Community Development Department 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re: Marriott's Mountain Resort at Vail- major amendment to SDD George: Subsequent to our pre-application meeting on 10/19/98, before making a formal application and accordance with the new policy, we would like to schedule a joint meeting with the PEC, Town Council and possibly even the DRB as early in January 1999 as possible. As requested, here is a synopsis of what exists at the hotel and what is being proposed. Subsequent to our pre-application hearing on January 12, 1999, the project remains as presented except that the location and number of EHU's has been revised. Existing Hotel The existing hotel is comprised of 3 buildings of varying age and construction. We refer to them as Phase I, Phase II and Phase Ila and the west Parking structure. Uses in the Hotel are AU, DU, commercial, various food service operations, and convention. For the purposes of our project, we will address only the uses of AU, DU and one particular restaurant space. Prints of each building's original design documents are in your archives under different names. The following information is based on these documents (I would like to point out that many of the units defined as DU's are owned by the Hotel and are operated as AU's). The current unit mix is as follows: Phase AU DU GRFA 1 74 14 38,380 II 97 12 48,212 Ila 35 27 50,555 Total 206 53 137,147 George Ruther February 7, 1999 (revised from December 2, 1999) Page 2 Lot area (including the parking structure) is approximately 222,273 SF. Under PA zoning, allowable GRFA would be 80% of that or 177,818 SF. Existing GRFA is therefore 77% of allowable. The "Windows" restaurant, with a seating capacity of approximately 85 seats, is no longer in operation and is used only for special functions. Existing parking is located below the buildings and in the west structure. By count, there are 407 spaces with 205 in the west structure. We are assuming that existing parking is adequate and will be "grandfathered" in as such. Proposed New Construction & Changes 1. Convert the "Windows" restaurant space and 5 adjacent AU's into 3 or 4 DU's. Parking requirements decrease by 1.6 spaces (85 seats/8 seats per space less 4 spaces (2 units < 2000 SF) and 5 spaces (2 units > 2000 SF)). 2. Upgrade exterior appearance of existing hotel buildings by doing the following: a. Add steeply sloped roofs to lower the eave lines of the various buildings. Roofing material proposed to be 40 year shadow-line type fiberglass shingles. b. Add "landmark" roof elements to buildings II and Ila. C. Remove wood siding at balconies on all buildings and install new metal railings in various colors and patterns. d. Remove most of the existing wood siding and replace with EIFS in several colors. e. Repaint existing stucco. f. Existing standing seam metal roofs remain to a large extent. g. Add new retail spaces with heated sidewalks along West Lionshead Circle at Phase I and Phase II when future economic conditions warrant. h. Remodel existing porte cochere. 3. New Phase III atop existing west parking structure with interval ownership units in accordance with the Lionshead Master Plan. a. 66 new units (see unit mix table below) totaling approximately 75,000 SF of GRFA. Current drawings reflect the following unit mix and area: Number Unit type GRFA 50 1050 SF 2 BR 52,500 12 1450 SF 3 BR (2 BR w/ loft) 17,400 4 Studio units 2529 66 72,429 b. Building amenities including front desk and Owner lounges. C. Addition to parking structure with internal ramps and providing for completely covered arrival. 61 new parking spaces with an easy additional 15 via valet positioning. George Ruther February 7, 1999 (revised from December 2, 1999) Page 3 4. Converting 9 existing DU's in Phase Ila into deed restricted EHU's; 8 units are studios with minimal kitchens and one unit is a one bedroom unit with full kitchen. Based on a recently completed project of similar size, the Phase Ill addition will create 25 new jobs. At a requirement of 20% of this number, 5 new EHU's are required. Instead of the 9 units in Phase Ila being deed restricted, we are now proposing to convert. the existing ski shop in Phase l into 6 new studio and one bedroom units (3 of each) ranging in size from 390 SF to 520 SF. 5. Modifications to landscape on Gore Creek side of complex including removal of most of the existing high berm thus opening up to the bike path and the creekscape. One tennis court to remain, the other one and the volley ball court will go. Other modifications per the submitted plans. Proposed total GRFA would be 209,576 SF or 118 % of the total allowable on the site. This is far less than the 250% maximum that would govern in Lionshead and even less than the 150% granted the Austria House in the Village. Compliance with Lionshead Master Plan and Design Guidelines- November 17 issue Existing Buildings: 1. Proposed modifications to roofs comply with the design guidelines even though the proposed slope exceeds 12:12; the steeper roofs will lower apparent eaves, balance roof area with wall area. 2. The proposed "landmark" roof elements will give the western edge of Lionshead the presence of a "grand old hotel". 3. Proposed streetscape elements do comply with the Plan and guidelines. New Building: 1. New building is right at maximum height limits with the proposed steeply sloped roofs and small areas of flat roof. We are well below the roof height average required. 2. Our proposed 15:12 roof pitch is steeper than the 12:12 specified but again provides significant aesthetic advantages the satisfy the intent of the guidelines: lower eave heights and wall heights and a better balance between wall area and roof area. This aesthetic benefit and addressing of intent is the basis for which we would seek conditional approval as provided in Section 4.2.8.3. As for the small areas of flat roof, they are comparable to those found at the Sonnenalp and would be visible only from high on the mountain. They are also allowed under Section 4.2.8.1. 3. The issue of height and flat roofs could be resolved if the datum for measuring height is set at the top of the existing parking garage instead of at surrounding grade. We have an unusual case here for new construction in that we do not have the option of putting the structure completely below grade as could be done with other new buildings. George Ruther February 7, 1999 (revised from December Z 1999) Page 4 I hope this gives you an adequate overview of our project. We look forward to the meeting with the Council and PEC and a subsequently smooth approval process. We could reluctantly accept staff approval on this one if required to do so.

This application does not change the building or its bulk and mass in any way from that presented to the Council and PEC on January 12, 1999 and recently submitted for approval by the PEC. Nor does it change in any way the impacts associated with this project (light, air, Town objectives, traffic, etc). It merely seeks permission to sell the units in a manner that is consistent with the current market and this project's location. I will point out that both fractional fee units and time-share units are conditional uses allowed under HDMF zoning with no stated preference of one over the other. The Phase III component of the Marriott project is stated as a.high priority project in the Lionshead master plan. Regardless of whether it is approved as an amendment to an existing SDD or as an exterior alteration under the new Lionshead zoning, what we are proposing will provide higher occupancy rates and more warm beds than a condominium (HDMF) project. For this reason alone, this conditional use permit for time-share under HDMF should be approved. A further explanation of why time-share is desirable is attached.

West Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Ruther: Asa general benefit.to-thr- community,- atmeshare proparty-fulf'Als.seyeral basic needs of both the permanent and the transient resident. This is evidenced by rapid pace at which this industry is graving worldwide--According to,--The Y~cation--Ownership Industry, a study by ARDA, interval ownership is the fastest growing segment of the travel and leisuw market, The-followin&discussiaa repres Agfjust a few -of the valuable reasons why properties such as the Gore Creek Club have been so well received by the corrmp pities-in-which-they..ambuiltand hy."se sing the properties. By creating the right size of interval ownership for a particular property, interval ors•=shippropertiesare-able-taattXac and-better.retam-the-valuable_,guests on which our resort depends. Interval Size IntervaownersWp,-tinwskare,-fractional-o rship--and residers claps are all part of the same family of real estate. They are all variations of the idea of sub-dividing a piece of re.lestate-in-.o=der-ta.law-errthe_costaedhassles.of gettin&i"ed in the resort real estate market. Choosing the correct amount of ownership is based on the cost, location, and tha el mographics-of.Wetarget_markei-7 fftr 2 particular property. The following chart outlines some sizes of interval ownership interests around ski country- aud..how-much time they allow each-Awner to use per year.

Resort 1/50 1 Week Breckenridge, Colorado Many variations have been created in interval ownership; however, the Gore Creek Club would-be-best- suited fora share approximately1/20~' in size. When the property is not divided far enough, like the Park Plaza, The Franz Klammer, and-Thc-Deer-Valloy Club, die-casts-out-weigh-the bea;eBts of mterva`ownership in many ways. First, the cost to buy into the property becomes too close to the'cost of buying an older smaller-full ownership-prope"mearby. The east-te-purehewa n these larger share properties can run well above 5250,000. Secondly, the cost of upkeep becomes more than most-owners-are willing-to-pay. Most interval ownership-properties offer their owners more amenities than a typical condo. When dividing the cost of these amenities among fewer owners, each owner's expense becomes greater. FinaHy, the financial cost aLtime hecomec_too much- for most_ow=s._ IntervaLowners_enjoy. the freedom to travel extensively through their exchange networks. However, most of them are unable to vacation as-many .as-S.or-b.weeks.per_year._Their.family_and}ob-oWijzations only allow 2 or 3. In the-past mo years--the-Hyatt Mountain-Lodge _in. Beaver. Creek, has shown the great value of a medium sized fraction. At 1/20"', the owner receives one week of prime ski time-and-an-additional-10-days-of summer usage every year. This-mix fits very well with the demographics of the Vail Valley client, These owners tend to come from out of state for one or two visits per year. Witlrboth satnmer and winter usage;-at the Hyatt, these owners have a strong sense of loyalty and ownership in their property. However, if they are not able to use alrof their time here, they are able to use it through their exchange networksomewhere-else, They are. not- forced to huy. and. maintain property they do not use. Demographics One-of the-ftrst-concems many communities have when an interval. Qwnership property is proposed is, whom will this property attract. The demographics of the typical consumer of interval ownership .property..in-the- Vail Valley are no different..than that of our high- end hotels and lodges. The Hyatt Mountain Lodge in Beaver Creek sold 750 1/20`}' shares to-approximately 400 clients in just over two years. The following statistics about these interval owners were compiled from a survey of these owners in March of 1998. 1. What-they ovm -20L'/&- own. studios 45%ev-, 2 bedroom condos, and 35% own 3 bedroom condos. 2. Hour-much-they eearw-- 96`10/-earn more than U00,000-per, year, and 73%o earn more than $150,000 per year. R I 3. Hoiuold_they are - 47%. are.between-36 and 45, aPA43% are between 46 and 56. 4_ Hain-much. they.vacation - 3W/e-between 7 and 14-days, 33% between 15 and i 21 days, and 21 % between 22 and 28 days. 5. VAio-they vacations with- 61% -vacation-with family-&,Kids, 18% vacation as couples, and 16% vacation with friends. 6. Wharthey-da-on vacation - Mo vacation to ski, 459` vacation to golf, and 18% vacation to play tennis. 7. Where they are from - They represent almost all 50 states plus several foreign countries including Nfexica;:Great. Britain, Puerto-F.i , Venezuela, S. Africa, Germany, Canada, Austria, Aruba, and Panama: The-owners-at=the Hyatt Mountain-Lodge-in Beaver Creep are-the-s\ame clients that have vacationed in Beaver Creek and stayed at the Hyatt Regency for years. They, too, could have become homeowners in ,Beaver. Creek long ago. However, -they preferred the better location and the many amenities of the Hyatt Regency and other upscale hotels in the valley, M4= the opportunity to own a property with similar amenities and location at only the fraction of the cost of other condos, they knew what they preferred. The ease of etur-and quality-of the property made them owners and return guests for many years to come. T-he Gore-Creek-Club-in Vail.wdLoffer diis- same opportunity. The clients that have enjoyed the Vail Valley for many years, but choose not to purchase a home, will find the qualit34 location and ease of entry very attractive. They will become interval owners in the Lionshead area and will return year after year to their property. Live Beds The biggest goaLof.a.destination resort property is to properly yield manage their inventory. Yield management is the process of fluctuating rates in order to maximize the totaLoccupancy of.aproperty while simultaneously maximizing total gross revenue. However, in a destination resort such as Vail, Colorado, it is often difficult to use such a process- Thus,-the-number-of occupied properties (Live Beds) is not optimized. In areas such as Vail, the majority of the properties are owned by individuals and, if rented, managed-by_an-on- site property management firm, There are two inherent problems facing the number of live beds in the Vail Valley. First, only a few of the owners-shoose-to.rent their properties. As an example, let's assume approximately 35% of the second home owners choose-torent their properti.es.and.the other.65%-enly-u"eir properties for 21 days per year. Even at an occupancy rate of 70% for the rental properties the total-occupancy for.the valley drops to less than 30%. Secondly, it is difficult for the property manager to manage the yield of the properties madeavailable.- Withmmlymm.owner-perwift, the. unit- is-either-aeoupied or empty in the eyes. of the owner.. The, property . manager. can not offer one room at a discount and another at a premium and have an offset positive yield. If the property manager operated in--this-fashion;-he would be stealing from one owner to pay himself and another owner. It is precisely this problem that keeps the Vail Valley from filling our rooms more often tharrnot: Interval ownership is a good solution to this problem. There are several reasons why this type of ownership offers a better quality, more highly occupied property. 1. Return guests With the dividing of the ownership interest comes the dividing of the ownership cost. By bringing down the largest obstacle to becoming an owner (money), the Vail Valley can guarantee that guests will become owners and return year after year. 2.. Higher-Quality - In an industry with over a-901/o satisfaction rating, quality of product is one of the primary reasons these owners are pleased. By dividing the cost-of-maintaining a property among multiple owners, there is more money to be spent on repairs and maintenance. This allows interiors and exteriurs-tube often, avoiding-theprQverbial orange shag carpet we often see in older properties. 3. Live Serfs - Interval-owners don't come back every year. However, when they do not occupy their condo, they almost always send someone else. Interval International is the association that allows owners of one interval ownership. property to trade it with another. The number of members in the organization is now in excess of 400,000 families. If one of the owners of the Core-Creek-Club chooses not-to use his property, one-of these 400,000 clients will soon become one of the Vail Valley's newest guests. For.these.reasons,- interval ownership has been a great solution for many resorts hoping to maximize the number of guests in town year round.

Interval ownership offers the opportunity to purchase fully furnished vacation property sold in a variety of forms, such as weekly intervals or point based usage systems. For a one-time purchase price and the payment of an annual maintenance fee,,purchasers own their portion of the vacation property in perpetuity. Owners share both the use and costs of upkeep of their unit and common facilities. There are many formats of ownership, varying both in size of the interest purchased and how it can be used. Based on the location and the demographics of the target market, intervals range in size from 1150th (giving the owner one-week per year), up to %2 (giving the owner 26 weeks per year). In addition the owners have multiple ways in which to use the time they own. Systems vary from a specific week in a specific unit (fixed week fixed time), to a floating system where the owner may select any week in a certain season (floating time). Re-Introduction the Interval Ownership (Timeshare) Industry If you formulated your opinion about the interval ownership industry more than a few years ago, it is time to re-examine just what is happening in this business. The interval ownership industry has gone through a long maturing process. It can be characterized by three distinct phases. The industry started in the French Alps in the late sixties. It wasn't long before unscrupulous individuals in the United States found a way to exploit this good idea to their advantage. For the greater part of the seventies, timeshares were conversions of old condominium properties that were difficult to sell because of financing or lack of quality. Unscrupulous developers typically sold them with no follow-up management after the sale. This image was well ingrained in many Americans for a long time to come. 2 East Vkkst Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation The second phase of timeshare came in the early eighties. During this time period many reputable developers recognized the benefits the sub-dividing of resort real estate can offer. During this time period many developers began to purpose build timeshare properties. These were often in prime locations with prime amenities. However, the old timeshare image was still hard to dispel. It wasn't until the third phase of evolution in the industry that it finally shed its old image. The entrance of many name brand operators characterizes this phase. Marriott was the first nationally branded hotel company to change many people's opinion. They led the way in the mid-eighties and have been joined now by almost every major hotel brand including Four Seasons, Hyatt, Hilton, Ramada, and many more. With every major hotel brand now involved in this industry, most Americans are beginning to understand its benefits. They see that a reputable company is selling a quality product and staying in the business to take care of the consumer, after the sale. Interval ownership has truly matured and shed the problems associated with it in its early years. From its beginnings in the French Alps in the late sixties, interval ownership has become the fastest growing segment of the U.S. travel and tourism industry. It has enjoyed a growth rate of more than 16% per year since 1993. There are now more than 4,000 resorts located in 81 countries, with more than 3 million families in 174 countries worldwide enjoying the benefits of this ownership opportunity. Large Companies Involved in Interval Ownership Name of Company # of Project # of Total Units Disney Vacation Club 4 1,339 Fairfield Communities 20 3,680 Hilton Grand Vacations 5 566 Hyatt Vacation Club 5 205 3 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation Marriott Vacation Club 35 3,000 Ramada Vacation Suites 15 868 Shell Vacations LLC 10 1,154 Sunterra Resorts 70 5,038 Visatana Development Ltd. 10 1,725 4 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation Interval Ownership Benefits - Consumer Interval ownership offers the owner many benefits ranging from pride of ownership in a particular resort to the benefit of owning deeded real estate. The following list is not exhaustive, but does outline many of the tangible benefits why more than 40% of interval owners purchase additional shares. 1. Higher Quality Accommodations - Of more than 2,000 US interval owners surveyed in 1995, 83.1 % responded that "certainty of quality accommodations" was a "very important" factor in their decision to purchase. By dividing the initial cost of development over the number of shares sold in a property, the total cost to each individual is greatly reduced. This allows the developer to increase the total expense for the development project, allowing him to have better locations, better amenities and higher quality interiors and exteriors. 2. Higher Level of Maintenance - Along the same lines as item number one, a higher level of maintenance means a better assurance of quality of accommodations. In today's inflated resort real estate market, renting accommodations has become a risky proposition. The rates are high, but no one knows just what they will get. Many second homeowners buy into their resort home and spend tens of thousands of dollars to redecorate and upgrade the property. However, after just a few years in the rental pool, the quality begins to wane. The owner has only used the property five or six times, but already it is time to replace the sofa and all of the linens. They are often reluctant to make these financial outlays. However, with interval ownership, the cost of maintenance is spread over the entire group. This allows more money per unit to be collected without burdening any one owner; creating a better quality resort many years down the road. 3. Better Locations & Amenities - In today's market place, it is the overall resort experience that is selling real estate. Not just the physical property or the salesmanship. It is the relationship of the property to onsite and nearby amenities. Some examples include: the Disney Vacation Clubs located on Disney property in Orlando, the Marriott Palm Desert Resort with multiple golf courses, tennis facility 5 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation and full service spa, and the new RiverPointe Napa Valley property in the heart of wine country. The Vail Valley is no different. Our consumers want proximity to the slopes and a full array of on-site facilities. With the cost of land at a premium in the valley, it is only logical that these sites should be available to multiple families. 4. Exchange Network - Along side "certainty of quality accommodation," "flexibility offered through the vacation exchange opportunity" was the second most cited reason for owning this type of property. As the size of the world shrinks, thanks to faster and less expensive travel, people are choosing to travel to a variety of locations more often. Interval International (II), an international exchange company, offers 1500 properties worldwide. Using a system of equitable exchange, an owner from the Vail Valley may choose to use a different property at the beach or even Europe. There is no feeling of being locked into one resort, like many people feel when buying a second home. II offers these owners exchanges as their gateway to the world. These four general benefits are not exhaustive, but do offer the four main reasons consumers are beginning to prefer interval ownership. In fact, two statistics reported by ARDA (the American Resort Development Association), characterize the overall satisfaction most owners are experiencing. • 41.2% of those who have owned eight years or longer have purchased additional intervals within that time. • 85.2% of owners are satisfied with their purchase, and 76% report having their quality of life being positively impacted by their purchase. 6 East Nest Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation Interval Ownership Benefits - The Community The biggest goal of a destination resort property is to properly yield manage their inventory. Yield management is the process of fluctuating rates in order to maximize the total occupancy of a property while simultaneously maximizing total gross revenue. However, in a destination resort such as Vail, Colorado, it is often difficult to use such a process. Thus, the number of occupied properties (Live Beds) is not optimized. In areas such as Vail, the majority of the properties are owned by individuals and, if rented, managed by an on site property management firm. There are three inherent problems facing the number of live beds in the Vail Valley. First, only a few of the owners choose to rent their properties. As an example, let's assume approximately 35% of the second home owners choose to rent their properties and the other 65% only use their properties for 21 days per year. Even at an occupancy rate of 70% for the rental properties the total occupancy for the valley drops to less than 30%. Secondly, it is difficult for the property manager to manage the yield of the properties made available. With only one owner per unit, the unit is either occupied or empty in the eyes of the owner. The property manager can not offer one room at a discount and another at a premium and have an offset positive yield. If the property manager operated in this fashion, he would be stealing from one owner to pay himself and another owner. It is precisely this problem that keeps the Vail Valley from filling our rooms more often than not. Thirdly, most of our condominium properties are not set up for transient occupancy. In order to truly attract destination resort travelers today, it is important to offer a high level of service. Many of our condominium properties do not offer front desk, concierge and bell services on site. They are operated from a remote location adding to the confusion of many guests. However, most interval ownership properties are set up to operate like 7 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation hotels, offering the most current amenities and services. This helps to attract and retain a higher level guest. Interval ownership is a good solution to these problems. There are several reasons why this type of ownership offers a better quality, more highly occupied property. 1. Return guests - With the dividing of the ownership interest comes the dividing of the ownership cost. By bringing down the largest obstacle to becoming an owner (money), the Vail Valley can guarantee that guests will become owners and return year after year. 2. Higher Quality - In an industry with over an 85.2% satisfaction rating, quality of product is one of the primary reasons these owners are pleased. By dividing the cost of maintaining a property among multiple owners, there is more money to be spent on repairs and maintenance. This allows interiors and exteriors to be upgraded more often, avoiding the proverbial orange shag carpet we often see in older properties. 3. Live Beds - Interval owners don't come back every year. However, when they do not occupy their condo, they almost always send someone else. Interval International is the association that allows owners of one interval ownership property to trade it with another. The number of members in the organization is now in excess of 400,000 families. If one of the owners of the Gore Creek Club chooses not to use his property, one of these 400,000 customers will soon become one of the Vail Valley's newest guests. Interval International uses a system of like exchange. This means that the owner trading into the Vail Valley will be relinquishing a property of similar quality from a different destination. The demographics of the guests trading in will be very similar to the demographics of our owners. These guests are new to the valley and would not have vacationed here if they could not have exchanged their property for the Gore Creek Club. This customer base is an excellent marketing opportunity for the community. 8 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation For these reasons, interval ownership has been a great solution for many resorts hoping to maximize the number of guests in town year round. The Poste Montane Lodge in Beaver Creek is a great example of a property that helps bring guests to town year round, as shown by their five year total occupancy chart. Month 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 January 76% 89% 90% 88% 93% February 69% 91% 95% 93% 94% March 83% 87% 91% 96% 92% April 38% 67% 77% 78% 77% May 46% 46% 49% 61% 45% June 65% 71% 70% 69% 74% July 70% 76% 81% 83% 74% August 80% 67% 80% 75% 77% September 79% 68% 72% 76% 78% October 42% 54% 58% 61% 64% November 50% 70% 64% 69% 50% December 75% 83% 72% 91% 84% Yearly Average 65% 73% 75% 76% 75% This chart shows that the average occupancy of the Poste Montane Lodge is well above the expected occupancy of any hotel, and far exceeds the very best condominium rental management pool occupancy rates. Creating a larger year round clientele will ultimately help every business owner and employee in the Vail Valley. ARDA statistics help support the argument that interval ownership properties bring more guests that vacation more frequently. • The average year round occupancy of interval ownership resorts was over 80% • Interval owners will return to their home resorts an average of 5.5 times during the next 10 years, as compared with an average of just 2.7 times if they 9 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation had not purchased the ownership. (Industry research suggests that Mountain properties have an even higher level of owner usage) • When not using the property for themselves, interval owners send a friend, rent the property or trade the property. They only left it unused 9% of the time. Demographics One of the first concerns many communities have when an interval ownership property is proposed is, whom will this property attract. The demographics of the typical consumer of interval ownership property in the Vail Valley are no different than that of our high- end hotels and lodges. The Hyatt Mountain Lodge in Beaver Creek sold 750 1/20th shares to approximately 400 clients in just over two years. The following statistics about these interval owners were compiled from a survey of these owners in March of 1998. 1. What they own - 20% own studios, 45% own 2 bedroom condos, and 35% own 3 bedroom condos. 2. How much they earn - 96% earn more than $100,000 per year, and 73% earn. more than $150,000 per year. 3. How old they are - 47% are between 36 and 45, and 43% are between 46 and 56. 4. How much they vacation - 30% between 7 and 14 days, 33% between 15 and 21 days, and 21% between 22 and 28 days. 5. Who they vacations with - 61% vacation with family & Kids, 18% vacation as couples, and 16% vacation with friends. 6. What they do on vacation - 88% vacation to ski, 45% vacation to golf, and 18% vacation to play tennis. 7. Where they are from - They represent almost all 50 states plus several foreign countries, including Mexico, Great Britain, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, S. Africa, Germany, Canada, Austria, Aruba, and Panama. 10 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation The owners at the Hyatt Mountain Lodge in Beaver Creek are the same clients that have vacationed in Beaver Creek and stayed at the Hyatt Regency for years. They, too, could have become homeowners in Beaver Creek long ago. However, they preferred the better location and the many amenities of the Hyatt Regency and other upscale hotels in the valley. When the opportunity to own a property with similar amenities and location at only the fraction of the cost of other condos, they knew what they preferred. The ease of entry and quality of the property made them owners and return guests for many years to come. The Gore Creek Club in Vail will offer this same opportunity. The clients that have enjoyed the Vail Valley for many years, but choose not to purchase a home, will find the quality, location and ease of entry very attractive. They will become interval owners in the Lionshead area and will return year after year to their property. Resale Value - Vail Valley In general terms, interval ownership is not sold as an investment to the consumer. However, the Vail Valley enjoys a unique position in the Interval ownership industry. Due to a very limited supply and a higher quality over many areas, the historical values of the newer projects in the Vail/Beaver Creek area have increased with the value of general real estate. This fact has helped to open up this type of ownership to many individuals that would not have considered it just a few years ago. Four projects in the Vail Valley currently have some sort of historical data supporting the relative increase in interval real estate values. ? St. James, Beaver Creek - A resale analysis by Slifer Smith & Frampton/VARE from 1/1/94 to 11/30/97 shows an average annual return of 17.26%.* 11 East Vast Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation ? The Poste Montane, Beaver Creek - A resale analysis by East West Resorts Real Estate from 1/1/93 to 2/3/97 shows an average annual return of 13.71 ? The Marriott Streamside, Vail - The current price for a two bedroom floating winter season share is 29,900, this same property sold in 1989 for $17,900. This represents an average annual return of approximately 5%. ? The Hyatt Mountain Lodge, Beaver Creek - Although this property just opened and the resale program has not fully developed, there are approximately 30 shares on the resale market. These shares are listed at approximately 40% over their purchase price from less than one year ago. Real estate values are an important factor for many consumers of interval ownership and second homes. By bringing a high quality interval ownership property to the Lionshead area, we will see an overall increase in the value of real estate and the rate at which the values grow. 12 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation *Value of vacation time utilized by the owner is not factored into the return. If the cost of alternative accommodations are factored into the returns, the total return would be even greater. Interval Ownership & The Vail Valley Why not just another condominium project? The Vail Valley has been slipping in the North American Ski Industry ratings. One of the problem areas is the value and quality of accommodations. For all of the reasons previously stated, the quality of an interval ownership property tends to be higher, and the occupancy also offers the community a larger base of business. However, financially interval ownership also provides a better value to the consumer. The total cost of vacationing for a one-week stay in the Vail Valley is on the rise. With room tax and inflation, the average Vail guest can expect to spend over $50,000 dollars just on accommodations over the next 10 years. Room Rate $ 350 $ 450 $ 550 $ 650 Year 1 $ 2,671 $ 3,434 $ 4,197 $ 4,960 Year 2 $ 2,884 $ 3,708 $ 4,532 $ 5,356 Year 3 $ 3,115 $ 4,005 $ 4,895 $ 5,785 Year 4 $ 3,364 $ 4,325 $ 5,286 $ 6,248 Year 5 $ 3,633 $ 4,671 $ 5,709 $ 6,747 Year 6 $ 3,924 $ 5,045 $ 6,166 $ 7,287 Year 7 $ 4,238 $ 5,449 $ 6,659 $ 7,870 Year 8 $ 4,577 $ 5,884 $ 7,192 $ 8,500 Year 9 $ 4,943 $ 6,355 $ 7,767 $ 9,180 Year 10 $ 5,338 $ 6,864 $ 8,389 $ 9,914 10 Year Total" $ 39,036 $ 50,190 $ 61,343 $ 72,496 '10 year total is the total dollar amount a guest can expect to pay for one 7 night stay per year 13 East West Partners - interval Ownership Presentation Over a 10-year period assuming a 9% tax rate and 8% lodging inflation rate. Value is a concern to our guests and purchasing a higher quality accommodation for less money than they would expect to pay in rent will help satisfy them. Seasonal Business The Vail Valley has come a long way in 30 years toward making this a four-season resort. However, there still exists a distinct spring and fall season. Because of the returning frequency of the owner and the international exchange network, an interval ownership property will offer a higher rate of occupancy, year round, than either a hotel or a condominium property. Location The average second home is within two hours driving distance of the owner's primary residence. The Vail Valley caters to a larger demographic than just the Front Range of Colorado. By opening up an opportunity to own just the portion of real estate that our guest uses, we are better able to attract owners that would not consider full ownership because of the distance & time constraints. 14 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation Look Who's Talking About Vacation Ownership Interval ownership has been in the press a lot over the last few years. With the new found interest by the public and the great improvements being offered by developers, newspapers and magazines from around the country have had a lot to report. ARDA recently compiled the following list of quotes from around the country. 15 East West Partners - Interval Ownership Presentation THE SUN Investor's Business Daily 1719, • • OCTOBER 1. 1997 JULY 13. 1998 APRIL 14. 1997 "More hotel firms have joined the Four million households own time- industry, bringing it credibility.

Conclusion: With respect to employee housing, the Common Ground and Lionshead plans aren't a whole lot different than what was discussed in 1979. Back then, Terry Minger said it best: "We're really missing an opportunity by not building the housing." You may want to develop some key messages based on Vail's past experience in the order of: Let's not let this opportunity pass us by for another 20 years.

AA At TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road [pail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 3, 1999 Contact: Nina Timm, 479-2144 Town of Vail Housing Coordinator TOV ANNOUNCES SALES PRICE, PUBLIC LOTTERY SCHEDULE FOR EAST VAIL BUY-DOWN UNIT (Vail)--A public lottery will be held on April 8 to select the winning buyer of Vail's first affordable housing "buy-down" unit. The property, a free market condominium unit at 4093 Spruce Way in East Vail, was purchased by the town earlier this week for $156,500. It will now be deed restricted, then re-sold through the housing lottery at a reduced price of $140,000. The new sales price is comparable to the purchase prices developed for buyers of the Red Sandstone townhomes, sponsored by the Town of Vail and the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District. Lottery applications for the East Vail unit will be available from the Town of Vail Community Development Department beginning at 8 a.m. March 5. Applications will be due at noon on March 22. For those who have already completed lottery applications, the information needs only to be brought up to date. The 816 sq. ft. unit is newly remodeled. It will be shown at an open house from 4 to 6 p.m. March 8 and again from 9 to 11 a.m. March 10. It's a top floor unit with two-bedrooms, one-bath, gas heat, fireplace, excellent views, two assigned parking spots, laundry facilities within the building and easy access to the Town of Vail bus system. Monthly condominium does are $295.11, which includes heat. (more) RECYCLED PAPER Add 1 /East Vail Housing Lottery To qualify for the lottery, applicants must: • currently own no other real estate in Eagle County • use the residence as an owner-occupied primary home • work in Eagle County a minimum of 30 hours per week over the course of a year and plan to continue working that same amount until the sale of the property or retirement • agree to a re-sale cap of 3 percent annual appreciation As an affordable deed restricted unit, the sale will be exempt from the town's real estate transfer tax. Nina Timm, the town's housing coordinator, says interest in the unit is high. "We've had numerous calls on this property, and we already have a long list of people who've asked to be notified about the next lottery," she said. "This is a good time to make a purchase while interest rates are still low." The Vail Town Council has set aside $100,000 in the 1999 budget to purchase and re-sale 5 units this year, which provides for a "buy-down" subsidy of up to $20,000 per unit. The sales transaction of the East Vail unit was completed March 1 with unanimous support by members of the Town Council. For more information on the housing lottery or to request an application, contact Nina Timm in the Town of Vail Housing Division at 479-2144. TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 MEDIA ADVISORY March 3, 1999 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community Information Office VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR MARCH 2 Work Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas --Luncheon with Mammoth Lakes Elected Officials Town Council members and staff met with their Mammoth Lakes, Calif., counterparts for a lunch and discussion at LaBotega from noon until the start of the work session. Discussions involved a variety of topics, including: employee/affordable housing; transportation; skier days; revenue collections; Vail's ski lift tax; zoning incentives for redevelopment; and community and guest facilities. Although the two communities have much in common, it was also agreed that the differing stages of development have created dissimilar problems and challenges. In addition to Vail, the 28 member California delegation will be visiting Beaver Creek, Steamboat Springs, Crested Butte, Keystone, Breckenridge, Aspen, and other Colorado resorts as they put together a cross-section of their collective findings. --Lionshead Zone Districts During its first review of an ordinance that would create two new mixed use zone districts in Lionshead to implement the newly-approved Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the Council directed staff to amend the draft to more closely mirror permitted and conditional uses within Lionshead's existing zone district, known as. Commercial Core II. Those changes include limiting permitted uses to lodging, employee housing or other residential-based units on a building's second floor or above, while commercial-type uses would be allowed by conditional use on those floors. Councilmembers said the change would be more reflective of Council's goal to use the upper floors to increase Vail's bed-base. Other issues raised by Council during yesterday's review included: the need to complete a town-wide parking analysis to determine the future status of the parking-pay-in-lieu option and the need to review the town's provisions for time share, fractional fee units and interval ownership. In addition, Councilmembers expressed concern about a proposal to require applicants within the Lionshead zone districts to mitigate direct impacts of their development on public infrastructure. As proposed, developers would be required to help mitigate project impacts through roadway improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, streetscape improvements, stream tract/bank improvements, public art improvements and other similar improvements. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association suggested the mitigation impacts be debated and applied townwide rather than the two Lionshead zone districts. While Councilmembers Michael Arnett and Sybill Navas wondered if the mitigation requirement would discourage redevelopment, senior planner Dominic Mauriello said the provision was intended to alert developers early-on as to possible requirements rather than surprising developers with unforeseen conditions at the time of approval. Also, according (more) RECYCLED PAPER Add 1/TOV Council Highlights/3-2-99 to Mauriello, mitigation would be intended to be balanced with the primary goal of providing incentives for redevelopment. Due to the extent of changes in the draft ordinance, Councilmembers agreed to postpone first reading of the ordinance to the March 16 evening meeting. The ordinance also will be reviewed at the March 9 work session. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148. --Lionshead Rezoning During a brief review of a companion ordinance that would rezone properties in Lionshead in accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, Councilmembers Sybill Navas and Michael Arnett questioned the appropriateness of allowing commercial uses within the residential areas. Also, Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowner's Association expressed similar points, as well as concerns for the retention of public parking and adequate loading and delivery areas. The ordinance will be reviewed again at the March 9 work session with first reading scheduled for the March 16 evening meeting. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148. --Supplemental Appropriation In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council reviewed a report from Finance Director Steve Thompson detailing a $4.3 million proposed supplemental appropriation to the 1999 budget. All but $146,000 of the appropriation reflects projects budgeted in 1998, but not yet completed. One of those projects, raising the Manor Vail bridge to allow improved access into Ford Park, will be bid. However, Councilmembers asked to review the bids and associated costs of the project before authorizing the work. Another project is construction of the free right onto the eastbound ramp of 1-70 at the Main Vail roundabout. Mayor Rob Ford suggested scheduling completion of the project before July 4 or later in the fall. The full appropriation was later approved on first reading at the evening meeting. For more information, contact Steve Thompson at 479-2116. --Information Update Councilmembers were reminded of Friday's employee party to celebrate the success of the World Alpine Ski Championships. The gathering will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Dancing Bear. The Council agreed to accept donation of the two Vail 99 countdown clocks from the Vail Valley Foundation. One is located at Slifer Plaza in Vail Village; the other in Beaver Creek. The Beaver Creek clock will be relocated to the Lionshead bus stop. Both devices will be used to communicate information about special events, road closures and other announcements. Councilmembers were invited to join the Avon Town Council for dinner on April 1 with a time and location to be determined. In response to a request from the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, the Council voted 6-0 (Kevin Foley was absent during the vote) to redirect a $10,000 pledge originally set aside for construction of the proposed education center. Instead, the $10,000 was authorized to be used for the final phase of construction of the rock garden, which is now underway. Councilman Michael Jewett explained that he had withdrawn as the Council's representative to the Alpine Garden Board of Directors. This is because he had been offered a non-voting position on the board, which Jewett said would be unacceptable. The Council then directed Town Manager Bob McLaurin to appoint a staff member to serve in that capacity. Due to complaints about a foul odor at the entry to the Vail Village parking structure, Assistant (more) } I Add 21TOV Council Highlights/3-2-99 Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said crews had been attempting to pinpoint and rectify the problem, and town staff believe they have successfully achieved this. Regarding the town's purchase of its first buy-down housing unit earlier in the week, Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said the unit would be placed into a public lottery with deed restrictions mirroring the restrictions established for the Vail Commons and Red Sandstone units. The resale price will be based on parameters established earlier by Council, he said, which provides for an average subsidy of $20,000 a piece for up to 5 units. --Council Reports Ludwig Kurz said the Vail Valley Arts Council has turned over operation of the annual Vail Arts Festival to the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau. The Beaver Creek Arts Festival will be run by the Beaver Creek Resort Company This action was taken after the Vail Valley Arts Council folded its operations earlier in the year due to budget constraints. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said the Vail Valley Tourism Bureau would likely ask the Council to reallocate a $3,000 grant originally earmarked to the Arts Council to help fund the Vail Arts Festival event. In preparation for the evening meeting, Rob Ford gave an update on the Eagle County Recreation Authority and the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). Ford said he also was continuing to work with the other partners in the authority to express Vail's desire to accommodate housing for seasonal workers as part of the proposed housing mix on the property. The IGA was later turned down by a 4-3 vote at the evening meeting. Michael Arnett reported on his attendance at a Town of Vail-Vail Associates Community Task Force meeting in which members attempted to articulate a vision for Vail, along with goals and strategies. A request for a van-pooling program also was forwarded to Kevin Foley, who represents the town on the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority. Evening Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas --Citizen Participation Scotty Magoun, a former Town of Vail bus driver, appeared before the Council to inquire about the status of a small claims suit the town had filed against him, and later dropped. Mayor Rob Ford encouraged Magoun to schedule a meeting with the town manager. Next, Anne Esson, representing a group described as the Vail Tomorrow expanded housing team, offered the group's support to place seasonal housing on the town-owned Mountain Bell site north of the Main Vail roundabout, as well as other compatible uses such as a fire station. She asked the Council to fast-track the project so ground could be broken later in the summer. Other citizens echoing Esson's request and expressing an interest in becoming involved in the planning process included Farrow Hitt, Steve Rosenthal, Carol Hymers, Dennis Jones, Sally Jackle, Paul Hymers and Kaye Ferry. Ferry said the group has agreed that the Mountain Bell site is least controversial as a seasonal housing site, given its isolation from other neighborhoods. In addition, she noted that Real Estate Transfer Taxes were not involved in the land's purchase. Ferry asked the town for a commitment to move forward with the site planning so occupancy could occur in the fall of 1999. In addition, Jerry Sibley asked the town to consider relocating the ABC School and the Learning Tree day care operations to the Vail Commons space. (more) k f Add 3/TOV Council Highlights/3-2-99 In response, Mayor Rob Ford said he'd been "knocked off his feet" by the group's eagerness to move forward on the housing issue. He said a public process would be initiated in the next 30 to 45 days to move forward with the planning. This work will follow some preliminary studies now underway by architect Bill Pierce regarding the suitability of a site for a two-company fire station. Pierce has been studying two possible sites: a portion of the Mountain Bell property, as well as the Spraddle Creek trailhead'site. --Supplemental Appropriation The Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance to provide a supplementation appropriation to the 1999 budget. Please see work session briefs for details. --Lionshead Code Changes After summarizing the review that occurred earlier in the day at the work session, the Council voted 7-0 to table first reading of the Lionshead code change ordinance and a companion rezoning ordinance to the March 16 evening meeting. During the public comment period, Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowner's Association suggested contacting condominium associations in Lionshead to let them know about the proposed changes. He also suggested consideration of boundary modifications for the rezoning as well as the need to review the parameters for time share units, fractional fee units and interval ownership. Representing Vail Associates, David Corbin asked Council to consider adding flexibility to the list of permitted uses rather than shifting to conditional uses. In particular, he asked that uses associated with lodges, such as meeting rooms, conference facilities and recreational facilities, be allowed as permitted uses on the second floor of buildings or higher (rather than conditional uses). Corbin also asked Council to consider flexibility in defining lodging products, such as time share units and fractional fee units. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148. --Eagle County Recreation Authority Intergovernmental Agreement The Council voted 4-3 (Arnett, Kurz, Ford) to reject an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek 5th) and the Eagle County School District. The IGA had sought to convey specific properties between the two entities to allow for a mixed use development on the adjoining parcels. But in making a motion to reject the IGA, Councilman Michael Jewett said he's wasn't comfortable with the document in its current form. Jewett listed issues such as cost-sharing and the need to place a conservation easement on an open space parcel as reasons why he couldn't support the current IGA. Sybill Navas raised issues about water rights and cost-sharing, while Bob Armour expressed concerns about the continuation of Vail's 60 percent cost-sharing requirement. Earlier in the day, Michael Arnett had asked if the IGA wasn't placing the "cart before the horse" because of continuing discussions about the property's affordable housing component. --Town Manager's Report Bob McLaurin indicated the Federal Highway Administration and the Colorado Department of Transportation have approved the town's request to construct a free right onto the eastbound ramp of 1-70 at the Main Vail roundabout. He said the project would be bid in the next 60 days.

TOV PURCHASES FIRST AFFORDABLE HOUSING "BUY-DOWN" UNIT (Vail)--In what may be the only program of its kind in the country, the Town of Vail today (3-1) purchased its first free-market condominium unit, representing an expansion of the town's employee housing efforts. The unit will now be re-sold to a qualified buyer at a reduced price, along with a new deed-restriction that will maintain the property as affordable housing in the future. The "buy-down" program is one of several affordable housing actions identified by the town's Common Ground program. The new property owner will be selected through a public lottery to be scheduled in the coming weeks. The Town of Vail paid $156,500 for the property. The unit is an 816 sq. ft. newly-remodeled condo featuring two-bedrooms, one-bath, great views, as well as off-street parking and easy access to the Town of Vail bus system. The property is located at 4093 Spruce Way in East Vail. The sales transaction was completed earlier today (3-1) with unanimous support by members of the Vail Town Council. Once the deed-restriction is in place, the condo will be re-sold to a qualified buyer. The new sales price and the schedule for the public lottery will be determined later this week. After evaluating the numbers and comparing the property to other offerings, Vail Mayor Rob Ford said the purchase makes good sense. "It's a good investment. It's less than the cost of (more) ~4M RECYCLEDPAPER Add 1/Buy-Down new construction and it helps to integrate our deed-restricted housing throughout the community, which is what we heard during the Common Ground process," he said. In addition, the new buyer will be able to move in immediately rather than waiting for completion of construction. 'Although newly implemented, the buy-down concept has been considered for some time, Ford said. "I understand that Tom Steinberg brought it up regularly during his tenure on Council. He deserves much of the credit for his tenacity." The Council has set aside $100,000 in the 1999 budget to purchase and re-sale 5 buy-down units. Vail Town Manager Bob McLaurin says officials in Aspen and Boulder will be monitoring Vail's program closely. Although both communities are considered to be leaders in the affordable housing effort, neither one has a buy-down program, he said. "We've modeled so many of our existing housing programs after Aspen, in particular, that it would be especially rewarding if we were able to break new ground for them, as well as other communities," McLaurin said. In addition to the buy-down unit, the town is currently a partner in construction of the 18-unit for-sale development at Red Sandstone, which will be completed in July. Other town-sponsored affordable housing initiatives include: a six-unit for-sale development on Arosa-Garmisch in West Vail; redevelopment of two units on the town-owned A-frame site on lower Arosa Dr.; and 200 housing units on the Berry Creek Fifth property in Edwards, of which Vail would control distribution of 45 for-sale units and 45 rental units. For information on the upcoming housing lottery or to request an application, contact Nina Timm in the Town of Vail Housing Division at 479-2144.

CATCAPPTSIST Baay>tnn. mamba;-N99., 1',J'', Wail's website: More information than you can shake a mouse at After the warn reception I got for my review of vail.net/community/inititum, I figured that the Internet site for die Town of Vail also deserved a good going over. Vail's website, www.vail.net/com- munity/tov, is chock full of informa- tion about the town government, and well, actually, it doesn't go much ' h ' beyond government information. Which makes sense; the website is designed primarily to give visitors information about the town and its WEB VIEWS plans and is not designed as a tool to ALEX[ ZENTNER pull tourists to the area, something * * that snowcom and www.vailnet.com take care of pretty well. When you open up www.vail.net/commuDityltov, the website is up front about being a "resource for information about the Vail Town Council, meetings and events across all TOV departments and current projects" While surfers are not given anything more than what they are promised by the website, the wcbsite certainly delivers. Essentially, if it has to do with Vail as a government entity, this wcbsite has the answer (but if it does not have the answer you are looking for, there is an option to request more information). But you will be hard pressed to have a question about the Vail government - at least if you are talking about current affairs - that is not answered on the town council page. Aside from pictures and short biographies of town council members (Michael Jewett is mysteriously missing any bio information, unless you count tht date ofhis election and when his term expires as solid information), the town council page has a-mail links to the town council members. It also includes a link to the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments under council member Sybill Navas's biography- just in case you are interested in checking out the NWCCOG. For Web visitors who are interested, in more than just learn- ing about their favorite local politicians, the town council page also includes council highlights, agendas for the upcoming work sessions, evening meeting agendas, upcoming discussion topics, town manager's reports, meeting minutes, ordinances and proclamations, resolutions, press releases and upcoming town meetings. For the most part, unless you are a policy wonk like I am, this information will not be ofparticular interest. Between'ITre Vail Dud and Daily Trail, most interesting news out of the Town of Vail government tends to get covered. Off of the main page, the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan gets some ink, although the entire 50-page document is not made available. While the summarization is nice, I ques- tion Vail's policy, at least as outlined on this Web page, of sell- ing individual copies of the entire plan for $50. It seems like there is no reason why drey""couldn't have included a link allowing interested people to download the document for free. The website also includes a jobs link-an excellent idea for any potential employer in the Vail Valley Most people who show the initiative and ability to browse your website for employment information are already shmving themselves a step ahead of the game. And in an area like Vail, where there is a perennial shortage of workers, any way to spread the mes- sage that you are hiring is a good idea. The Vail Tomorrow page features a fairly open letter from Mayor Rob Ford, who, in part, says that he does riot think that Vail can afford another election defeat of a community facili- ty. The page does not work well, however, because of layout problems that make it difficult to separate Ford's message from some of the other text on the page. Vail.net/conimunity/tov also features a link to the Vail Public Library, but a review of area libraries' websites remains for the future. Overall, Vails website is well done. It provides extensive information about the municipal government. It is designed as a tool for citizens, and works as a tool for citizens.

We are writing to express some observations that we hope can be taken into account, should the Town host such a large event in the future. ,lt occurs .16, us that parking and transportation are.among the most sacred and controversial matters in our town. Therefore, we would request that the town not allow the transportation center to be used to the detriment of the taxpaying citizens. The Frontier Center deprived us of needed parking at a critical time and was generally an affront and competitor to our merchants. The closure of the transportation center and the public restrooms, coupled with the overbearing security-in that area was not in the best merest of the community. In addition, we have worked hard to avoid traffic signals and other ostentatious displays. Please, let's not allow another countdown timer in our town please let's order the one at the side of the Mountain Haus dismantled immediately. From what we heard, the FIS would like to.come back. And with good reason Vail is a special place. Next time, .let's keep it that way for our.residents -as well as for our guests. The Town of Vail has no reason to compromise its.principles to attract these games. If the FIS wants to play here, they should honor our Town's values. We hope you and the council will take the appropriate actions now to ensure that the Town is not asked to compromise in the future. Very truly yours, .

Generally speaking we are enthusiastic about the Lionshead Master Plan and the encouragement it should give to redeveloping Lionshead. We appreciate the time and effort of many people, lead by the council in this endeavor. 2. Positive positions for the Lodge at Lionshead: A. We wish to preserve and enhance the peace and tranquillity of East Lionshead Circle. It is. a residential area - we want to keep it that way. B. Rerouting the TOV bus is a welcome event. C. Eliminating truck, bus, and skier unloading at the circle is a big plus. D. Eliminating the bus, trailer, and truck parking in the east zoning ordinance is violated day by parking lot is desired. At present the every y y people living in vehicles, overstaying the time limit, etc. This should be converted to aid parking or closed. E. Streetscaping plan is very desirable as long as you do not encroach on our property and present landscape. F. Upgrading the facade of the parking structure S.

Restricting tragic (especially lodge buses turning around) on E. Lionshead Cr. is desirable. 3. Negative positions for the Lodge at Lionshead: A. Memorandum from Community Development to PEC. requesting rezoning. 1. Lionshead Mixed Use District 1 (LMU-1) places Lodge at Lionshead in a zone with the bulk of Lionshead and out of our present residential zoning. In no way is this to our advantage - it's to our disadvantage as it exposes us to restrictions and new proposals that are negative. Criteria - "proposed zone districts shall be compatible with existing uses and accommodations potential future uses." LMU-1 violates this for the Lodge at Lionshead. "Increased Density is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved." LMU-1 violates this for the Lodge at Lionshead. Professi9fgy Managed by Peak Resort Services.

Item 4.1: "Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas - needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery." Parking structure proposal for retail , etc. violates this criteria. Negative for the Lodge at Lionshead. Our negative reactions boil. down to these: 1. We oppose being placed in LMU-1 because it will downgrade our neighborhood. We want our neighborhood as it is, or, enhanced. 2. We oppose the building of a structure against the South side of the parking structure, and, especially the inclusion of a new commercial area on E. Lionshead Cr. 3. We reserve opinion regarding the proposed recreational / art center until we are made aware of the specifics. We are inclined to be supportive to get rid of the East parking lot of the parking structure. We strongly urge you to consider these requests: 1. To be removed from LMU-1 and retain current zoning status. . 2. To have no commercial sites placed across the street from Lodge at Lionshead.

If you are interested please let one of the U oard members know. RRC ASSOCIATES: This Boulder based company did a study of Vail compared to other mountain resort communities. Some conclusions were that Vail Mountain is one of the best in the world but the perceived image of the town of Vail is that it looks old. Many feel that they are not getting what they are paying for. Vail is at a crossroads right now and this report should help with the direction the town takes. We ask that all of you look over the report that was handed out at the meeting and come with suggestions to the next i meeting. SALES TAX: Sales Tax figures are down and because of this budget cuts are coming. One of the programs that is in jeopardy is "Free After Three" so please support it. Also, keep updated with what other programs that may be effected by the budget cuts. GUIDE: This year the advertising costs will stay the same. We need input about what we need to change and what should stay the same. Most think different maps are needed. Other suggestions are blurbs about everyone's businesses, and writing an editorial so people want to pick it up. STREET PARTIES: The Town of Vail has given the VVMA money to put on street parties during the off season and summer. Where and when these parties will take place are still being discussed. Other events taking place will be looked at before any decisions are made. If you have any suggestions please let one of the board member know. A- VVI PROPOSALS: Waldir Prado attended the meeting and gave the VVMA on overview of the VVI Project. The project was approved by the Planning Commission and is now going to the Town Council. The proposal is asking for the zoning to get changed to build the new VVI, otherwise known as the Vail Plaza Hotel. In the new proposed Vail Plaza Hotel there will be underground parking, a health spa, 682 beds,1000 sq. feet retail space, and a much needed convention center. Mr. Prado stressed that he wants to clean up the look of Vail, therefore bringing more people to town, by building the new Vail Plaza Hotel. He asked for the support of the people at the meeting. He stressed that the opposition is being heard and now the people who support this project must speak up. If you have any question or would like to see a presentation about the project call the VVI and ask for Connie @ 476-5622, he would be happy to help you.

Ford Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Rd. Vail. CO 81657 Dear Mayor Ford, 1 would like to first thank you for your prompt attention to my letter dated February 9. 1999. I understand your opinion concerning the excessive amount of trucks and semis this summer at Gasthof Gramshammer, but please understand mine. Without those vehicles coming and going we would never have been able to build our beautiful new addition with 1 I new rooms, a small conference room, a lovely spa and underground parking. In it's place there would still be a trashy parking lot and this would not have been very pr_csentable during the World Championships. l'ou stated in your letter that you thought that 15 minutes was a sufficient amount of time for our guests to unload. I disagree; our guests had to find the front desk, get registered, go back to their car to retrieve their luggage, come back into the hotel and get to their room, then back to their car to move it to the structure. In the midst of all of this our guests had to negotiate themselves and their luggage through a busy restaurant during lunch or dinner. Most of our guests are not young adults, they are mature adults ranging from 50 to 70 years of age. You know as well as I do that getting all of the above accomplished in 15 minutes, even with the help of our front desk staff, was near to impossible. Some of our guests may have needed just a bit more time. Also, you stated in your letter that it was observed by Police Chief Greg Morrison that a car was parked in our loading/unloading zone for over an hour after the previous day it was ticketed and I complained to the Town Manager. This was never brought to my attention. As for the issuing a ticket to the Austrian delegation dropping off their gold medalist, Hermann Maier, on February 2, I understand that they were advised that they were not allowed to park, but for publicity they wanted to drop him off at the entrance to the Austrian Haus and the Headquarters for Austrian TV, which happened to be on Pepi's porch. First, I would like to point out that you said in your letter that these people were clearly advised not to park in front of the porch area, however they could not speak English for the most part. Second, Austria TV was not located in our garage, but on the corner of our porch and I don't think that we received the publicity that was most desirable, but instead all of Austria got to witness the Vail police department at their finest - chasing a gold medal ski racer and his procession into town with their lights flashing to give his driver a parking ticket. Starting on May 15, Pepi and I will not allow any delivery trucks to park in front of Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer near the porch area as we will be serving our guests breakfast in the main dining room and on the porch with the weather permitting. Stating this, the Town of Vail will have to make other arrangements to find a new unloading zone. In my previous letter I had many other issues that you did not address in your response letter. I had problems with the street noise in the early morning and late at night. I hope that since this issue has not been resolved or even addressed that we will not have any problems with our entertainer. Rod Powell this summer as far as noise tickets being issued at 5PM. Rod Powell will play on our porch from 4PM to 9PM. One of my other problems is that for years our guests have been inconvenienced by all of the street entertainment around the Children's Fountain and the street parties that the Town sponsors, thus blocking the way to get to Gasthof Gramshammer. I would recommend that You use the new Slifer Circle for any further entertainment because in this location you will not blocking off all means to enter the Village. I would also like to let you know that we will oppose any street entertainment that is proposed around the Children's Fountain and that will interfere with any ~~uest access to Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer. I hope that we can solve these problems before the season is over and in a positive manner. As it is, I am still very unhappy with the situation between Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer and the Town of Vail. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, Sheika Gramshammer Attachment xc: Vail Town Council Robert W. McLaurin T copy TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Office of the Mayor Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2100 FAX 303-479-2157 February 25, 1999 Sheika Gramshammer Gasthof Gramshammer, Inc. 231 East Gore Creek Drive Vail, CO 81657 Dear Sheika: Thank you for your letter of February 9"i. The 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships were a huge success, the Town of Vail looked very good and presented a very favorable image to the world. I believe that all the headaches of last summer's construction season paid off for us during the Championships and will continue to do so for years to come. The new wing of Gasthof Gramshammer is a welcome addition to the Village Core. As to your allegation that your guests were "harassed and ticketed" during the summer construction season, I have been advised that a special parking permit was developed by Police Chief Greg Morrison specifically for Gasthof Gramshammer guests which were used during the construction season. These parking permits, a copy of one is attached, were distributed at Check Pont Charlie to your guests. The permits clearly indicated, in both narrative and by pictured map, the location of your loading/unloading zone and the regulations regarding parking on Gore Creek Drive. This special permit was developed solely for Gasthof Gramshammer guests; no other business in the Town of Vail received such a customized permit. These permits were utilized to assist your guests with parking and to avoid any confusion caused by construction. The permits allowed 15 minutes to unload luggage which seems very reasonable. As there was only space for two cars in front of Gasthof Gramshammer at one time, it was imperative that the 15 minute limit be strictly enforced to ensure access for additional guests arriving or departing from your establishment. It is my understanding that even after these permits were being issued, several of your guests exceeded the allowable time for parking on Gore Creek Drive, in some cases for excessive periods of time. In one incident, one of your guests was ticketed for violating the 15 minute limit and you complained to Town Manager, Bob McLaurin. The very next day, the same car was observed by Police Chief Greg Morrison parking in your loading/unloading zone for over one hour. As to the issuing of a ticket late in the afternoon of February 2"d, 1 have been advised that the Code Enforcement Officer at Check Point Charlie clearly advised the occupants of the vehicle that they were not allowed to park on Gore Creek Drive; they could only park in your underground garage or on the ramp leading to it. Contrary to the instructions given, the driver immediately parked on Gore Creek Drive, resulting in the parking ticket. Please be aware that at the same time you are complaining of excessive enforcement, other merchants in the Village Core are complaining that illegally parked cars, trucks and vans, to say nothing of 18 wheel semis, were out of control and adversely impacted their , businesses. The businesses are demanding more parking enforcement from the police department As a result, the Code Enforcement Officers have appropriately been instructed to firmly enforce all loading and delivery policies. I appreciate your opinion and that you have taken the time to write me addressing your concerns. Be assured that while the Council demands exceptional customer service from our employees, we insist that the loading and delivery rules be strictly and fairly enforced. Sinc y, Robert E.

Telephone: 970/476-5626 Pepi Gramshammer 231 East Gore Creek Drive Sheika Gramshammer Vail, Colorado 81657 Februarv 09, 1999 Dear Mayor Ford, With the World Championships coming to an end, I am finally finding the time to write to you. First of all, Pepi and I would like to thank you for speaking up in behalf of Gasthof Gramshammer and our new addition at the last town council meeting, we really appreciate your Support. There have been many times when Pepi and I ask ourselves why we change and improve, instead of enjoying our business the way it was. We choose to improve our home, which is what Gasthof Gramshammer and Vail have been to us since 1964. Gasthof Gramshammer and Vail have been our pride and joy for all these years. It was not an easy start for any of us, but we all worked very hard to achieve what we have created in making Vail what it is to ,-ay What Vail has become, seems to be changing before my very eyes, instead of the growing pains that affect any expanding community; it seems to me that we are now experiencing a different kind of pain - an "attitude pain." I understand that there has to be rules, but they are made for cruidelines and need to be flexible to the situation. This past summer was not an easy summer for any of the businesses that are located in the heart of Vail. With all the construction in town during the building of the Austrian Haus, Slifer Circle, Seibert Circle, the Transportation Center and, of course, Gasthof Gramshammer's new addition. It was a very frustrating several months for many of us. However, during the construction, we all had a common goal - to improve and become more beautiful in welcoming the World to Vail with the World Alpine Ski Championships. Pepi and I have spent thousands of dollars on flowers and improvements to beautify Gasthof Gramshammer and the streets of Vail Village. We would like to make a positive lasting impression on visitors because we want people to enjoy and love Vail as much as we have all these years. What upset Pepi and me the most during all this were the problems with Town of Vail employees; specifically, Mitch Imber at Checkpoint Charlie. Instead of our guests being welcomed and advised about the construction around town, they were harassed and ticketed while trying to figure out how and where they needed to go to check in. Mr. Imber insisted on Doing out of his way to leave his post at Checkpoint Charlie and came to Gasthof Gramshammer to write tickets to our guests that parked over the 10 minute maximum limit, which even involved the Vail Police Department. This harassment went so far, that many of our guests, before checking in insisted upon leaving Gasthof Gramshammer and moving to the Sonnenalp or even as far as Beaver Creek. I have confronted the police chief and the Town Manager, but it seems as if I am talking to a brick wall. When I approach anyone to discuss other problems. such as the street noise, the amplified sounds coming from night clubs, snow removal at 4:30AM and trash pick up at 6:OOAM, it seems that no one is willing to take action and nothing is being done about it. These kinds of problems cause complaints and non return guests. In the winter time it doesn't seem that there are is any assistance in controlling the street noise and one major complaint is that our Quests are only getting about 3 hours of sleep at night, if they are lucky. However, in the summer the officers are quickly at hand with their volume meter to measure the decibel level on our porch and give our entertainer a noise ticket at 5PM. This is another reason for not wanting to have entertainment on our porch this coming season. The street entertainers, with their singers and instrumentalists, are much louder than our entertainers. At your meeting you were also talking about the attitude of the employees that work for Vail Associates and the Mountain. We also have the same problems as you, and we believe that we should first start improving guest services when they arrive in Vail, by making them feel welcome and assisting in any problems they may have. I think that we are forgetting that we are a resort and our business is to make people feel welcome, enjoy themselves and return year after year. Another example of blatant rudeness on the part of the town was on February 2, 1999, when the Austrian ski team brought their gold medalist, Hermann Maier, to the front porch at Pepi's in an official car to celebrate his first win in the Super G. Mr. Maier's driver was followed into town with flashing lights and then received a parking ticket because he could not move the vehicle fast enough. The entire incident was caught on film and broadcast on Austrian TV. Is this really what we want to show to the world? The only way I can see guest services changing in the future is if the businesses and the town start working together in achieving a common goal. To accomplish this, the town is going to have to be more flexible in helping create the kind of atmosphere we all desire in the heart of Vail. As I said before, Vail is our home. We live above our business and we have contributed a lot of time, energy and money to this community. We never thought that there would be a point in time where we would consider getting out of this business, but all the stress and heartache makes living in Vail an unhealthy and sad experience. Thank you, Rob, for letting me take up your time and let you know what has been on my mind for the last 6 months. Best Regards, t s. EAST VILLAGE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

Officers: President - Bob Galvin Secretary - Gretta Parks Treasurer - Patrick Gramm Directors - Judith Berkowitz - Dolph Bridgewater - Ellie Caulldns - Ron Langley - Bill Morton - Connie Ridder To: Rob Ford and Town Council Members From: Jim Lamont, Executive Director Date: March 9, 1999 RE: Mill Creek Circle, Hanson Ranch Road and Golden Peak Skier Drop Off Traffic It is reported to the Association that illegal on street parking, for the most part due to skier drop off traffic, continues to be a problem on Mill Creek Circle and Hanson Ranch Road at the Christiania Lodge. The Association has reviewed the matter within the context of the purpose and function of the designated skier drop off parking area at the Golden Peak Ski Base. The large ski- er drop off parking area was designed and built at the Golden Peak Ski Base in order to consoli- date into one location the skier drop-off function for the site and that which was occurring in the surrounding neighborhoods. Illegal on street and skier drop off parking is the primary source of traffic congestion in the neighborhoods. These activities are noxious to the established residential character of these neighborhoods. It is requested that all effort be used to accomplish the following tasks: 1. Increased enforcement of illegal parking and skier drop off activity both on Mill Creek Circle and Hanson Ranch Road is warranted. 2. Improvements to regulatory signage be made in the following situations: a. There are insufficient "on street parking prohibited" signs on Mill Creek Circle. Ac- cording to neighborhood residence many parking signs around the circle have been removed. It is desired that these signs be replaced. Many of the existing signs cannot be viewed from both direc- tions of traffic flow. b. The "on street parking prohibited" and "skier drop off prohibited" signs at the entrance to Mill Creek Circle and Hanson Ranch Road are not readily apparent, excessively wordy, con- fusing or nonexistent. c. The "skier drop off prohibited" signs located on the west side of Mill Creek Circle, near the Vista Bahn, are inadequately sized, improperly placed and have incorrectly sized stanchions. d. On Hanson Ranch Road at the Chrisitiania Lodge the "skier drop off prohibited" and on street parking by permit only" signs are inadequate or nonexistent. e. Directional signs directing skiers to the "Golden Peak skier drop off' along the route from the Main Vail Roundabout, South Frontage Road, Blue Cow Chute and Vail Valley Drive are nonexistent. j f. Directional sign at the entrance to the "Golden Peak skier drop off' is inadequately sized and improperly placed. While some of the sought after solutions may take time to accomplish, there are others that can be effectuated immediately. It is requested that the Town Council initiate the necessary au- thorization to bring corrective action to bear upon these matters. The Association is available to work with all parties responsible for the resolution of these conditions.
