COUNCIL FOLLOW-UP
TOPIC QUESTIONS FOLLOW-UP SOLUTIONS
1999
7/6/99 FORD PARK SIGNS GREG H./LARRY P./CHARLIE T.: The change in the bus
Kevin Foley service/pick up seems to be having a positive effect as far as
adding to convenience and ease of access (although the
ridership numbers are about the same); however, we need
additional signs in the parking structure directing guests to
the correct exit to pick up service.
7/6/99 WEST VAIL ROUNDABOUT TRAFFIC GREGS H. AND M.: Drivers exiting 1-70 east are making it Greg Morrison will meet with Eric Larson personally.
Eric Larson, resident of Intermountain very dangerous for drivers trying to get to Intermountain on
the South Frontage Road (apparently not expecting the
Intermountain drivers to continue "around" the circle on
South Frontage Road, but more likely, that they would head
north toward the Phillips 66 station). Is there additional
"warning" signing we could provide? It sounded as if there
was a further problem w/drivers heading north to south into
the roundabout and the tight right hand turn.
7120/99 COLLECTIVE COUNCIL VOICEMAIL PAM/BOB/RON BRADEN: Concerns were expressed re: the
Armour/Navas/Jewett current collective Council voicemail option. Until USWest
changeover is completed in January 2000, please implement
the following changes.
In the introductory voice message for Council, indicate there
is:
- a three minute limit
- leave your name/phone # if you would like your call
returned
- state opinion/issue
July 21, 1999, Page 1
7/20/99 BIKE TOUR OF IN TOWN BIKE GREG H./TODD 0.: Kevin forgot to mention this under
PATHS "other" today, however he would like to request the
Foley scheduling of a "rubber meets the road" (e.g., we're ON our
bicycles) to look over the town's bike paths. This ties in very
closely w/our current efforts at stepping up WAY FINDING.
Please schedule a two hour segment at an upcoming work
session for this tour.
7/20/99 ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONAL MIKE ROSE: Dan has suggested some maps to provide
MAPS AT EXITS FROM THE VTRC specific village mapping information as to distance-to stores,
Foley/Dan Telleen restaurants, etc., at the exits.

precluding his outdoor sale of roasted nuts modified.

MEMORANDUM
To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development Department
Date: July 27, 1999
Re: A worksession to continue discussions on a proposal to amend the Town's Public
Accommodation Zone District development standards and other pertinent
regulations.
On July 13, 1999, the applicant, Johannes Faessler, represented by Tom Braun of Braun
Associates, Inc. and the Community Development Department initiated discussions with the Vail
Town Council with regard to amending the text of the Public Accommodation zone district's land
use regulations. The-purpose of the worksession was to present the proposed text
amendments, as recommended for approval by the Planning & Environmental Commission, to
the Town Council.
Following a brief overview of the amendments and comments from the public, the Council
offered input and direction to the Town staff and the applicant. The Council members requested
that the following information be presented at the July 27th worksession of the Town Council:
? Fill in the missing data from the analysis of existing developments. spreadsheet.
? Evaluate how the proposed change to the definition of a "lodge" (70%/30%) will affect
existing properties zoned Public Accommodation.
? Assess how many new dwelling units could be built on the largest property (Bavaria Haus)
in the Public Accommodation zone district relative to the proposed amendments.
The following are questions and comments expressed by the Council members:
? Does a 45' flat roof height limitation encourage flat roof buildings?
? Should the parking requirement standards differ for small lots 1/z acre) in the Public
Accommodation zone district?
? Should fixed maximum be placed on the number of fractional fee units that can be built in
the Public Accommodation zone district?
? How should the proposed amendments be implemented? Text amendments, creation of a
new zone district, rezoning, etc.
Will the elimination of counting accommodation units for density purposes encourage the
unintended consequence of more small units or will the market dictate the sizes?
? Is the proposed increase in GRFA from 0.8 to 1.5 an appropriate increase?
? If an increase in GRFA is determined appropriate, is the increased percentage a maximum
or should it be a performance standard ("up to... if....")?
The Town staff and the applicant will present an analysis of the requested information and
respond to the Council's comments at the July 27th worksession meeting.

-P*d ¦ Police will also boost parking -
patrol, add "Denver boot." - k'
By Mark Huffinan
Jackson officials seem headed toward a new
experiment in downtown parking control, and y }:.."a
the people who park in one section of downtown ` t
i . '
will be part of it.
The experiment will be with paid parking.
Council's OK for more investigation and a
possible tryout of paid parking came at a meet- '
ing last week during which members also indi-
cated they're willing to increase the parking
patrol staff and told the police chief he can buy a
Denver boot" to attach to the tires of particular-
ly egregious parking offenders.
Council members told Jackson Police Chief
Dave Cameron they're ready to hear more about € ti
paid parking and instructed him to come back no
later than this fall with new information. Paid; Y
' parking in one part of downtown - as an "exper-
iment" - might ha
Peen by spring 2000, council i
members said.
There was little opposition, and considerable support for the idea of taking a new look at a
system such as that seen by Jackson oflicialslast
year in Park City, Utah.
Councilman Chris Kirk said paid parking,
even in the West, is "getting more and more
common." He said it is time for Jackson to "bite
the bullet and do it." Mayor Barney Oldfield, a b~
doubter in the past, agreed he would like to hear
more and to re-examine the possibility of paid z
parking.
Chief Cameron has been a supporter.
"I'm in favor of it, it makes sense for the
town," he said.
A big revenue source
Cameron said an initial study has concluded "
that paid parking for the 1,007 on-street spaces
in the two-hour parking zone would bring rev-
enue "in the millions in the course of a year." _
The money could be used to buy land for more
parking, he said, or for other town projects.
Paid parking would, most of all, give better '
L; r control over parking and make it easier to
enforce the timed parking limits, Cameron said.
Park City posted signs along streets directing
motorists to nearby parking coupon sales
machines. People pay and put a parking receipt
on their dashboard. Parking officers don't have
to chalk every tire in the district and return to
find a violation. They just examine the receipts
and write people whose time has expired. People
without a receipt get "a bigger kick" in the way of
a citation with a higher fine, Cameron said.
Cameron thinks the system would do a better
job of stopping overtime parking than the cur-
rent patrol system, keeping people from illegally
hogging spaces and preventing the turnover that
helps businesses.
Some members of the business community
feel it will impact their customers," Cameron
said. "I think it will only add to the ability to
find a parking space."

2000 budget year will be considered during this process. Final action on the requests will take
place with adoption of the 2000 budget in October.
In the past, the Vail Town Council has awarded approximately $125,000 to fund programs that
address Vail's critical strategies of a positive, sustained economic climate and an
environmentally sensitive high quality of life.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR JULY 20
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Employee Generation Policy Next Steps Discussion
The Council agreed to continue its pursuit of an employee generation policy, despite the
absence of Eagle County as a potential partner. During a briefing yesterday, Vail Housing
Coordinator Nina Timm said the County may not be prepared to move the concept forward at the
countywide level due to its focus on the Riverview Apartment project. Councilman Bob Armour
expressed disappointment, noting that most models have worked better when the municipality
and the county have implemented the housing policy jointly. Employee generation requires
developments to provide a percentage of employee housing units based on the number of new
employees generated by the development. Although the Council authorized Timm to begin
scheduling a series of fact-finding and informational discussions with the Vail business
community, Timm was asked to return to the Council on Aug. 3 to provide a preview of the
upcoming meetings. Also yesterday, Councilmember Sybill Navas encouraged consideration of
a residential component to the employee generation ordinance for so-called trophy homes. For
more information, contact Timm in the Community Development Department at 479-2144.
--Information Update
Councilmembers reviewed an update from Police Chief Greg Morrison regarding a citizen
suggestion for improved safety measures at the West Vail roundabout. Councilmembers asked
Morrison to follow up with the citizen, Eric Larsen, regarding concerns in accessing the
Intermountain neighborhood from the south side roundabout. Also during the discussion,
Councilman Michael Jewett suggested consideration of speed bumps in the roundabouts similar
to Avon's installation, while Councilmember Sybill Navas suggested periods of increased police
presence to reduce speeding at the intersection. Also yesterday, Councilman Ludwig Kurz
expressed a general observation that people don't seem to be exercising personal responsibility
to the degree they could.
The Council voted 7-0 to deny a $1,000 funding request from CARTS (Corridor Alliance for a
Rapid Transit Solution). Although Councilmembers expressed support for the effort, it was
noted that updates and action plans would be needed to justify additional funding. The Council
has already authorized a $2,000 contribution for 1999; it gave another $2,000 the previous year.
Councilmembers viewed a bumper sticker produced by Vail resident Steve Zorichak, who was
an early advocate of Vail's roundabouts. The bumper sticker makes note of using turn signals,

as well as taking up a cause expressed at an earlier Council meeting by Paul Rondeau, another
Vail resident. Rondeau has proposed a public education campaign to get drivers to discontinue
use of their cellular phones while on the streets.
--Council Reports
Kevin Foley, who serves as chairman of the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority,
reported on a recent meeting of the organization in which service expansion was discussed as
well as adoption of goals.
Ludwig Kurz, who represents the Council on the Channel 5 Board of Directors, noted
improvements to the station's signature magazine show, Vail Valley Sunday, and encouraged
fellow Councilmembers to tune in.
Sybill Navas, who represents the Council on the community facilities team, said the group would
be meeting later in the week to prepare its recommendation on prioritized uses and next steps.
In addition, Navas, who represents the Council on the Vail Valley Exchange Board, announced
the upcoming trip to Mt. Buller, Australia, in which Town of Vail staff would join Vail Resorts in
recruiting trainees for the winter season. Navas encouraged other businesses to learn about the
program's benefits and to participate in the winter recruitment. Also, Navas said the Exchange
is considering the possibility of adding a South America venue to its Sister Cities program.
--Other
Michael Arnett inquired about the status of a joint discussion with the Eagle County
Commissioners.. The meeting had been postponed several weeks ago to allow for additional
fact-finding work in response to a series of budgetary questions posed by the Town Council.
Noting the increasing volume of phone calls to the Town Council's voice mail, some of which are
forwarded manually by staff, Bob Armour expressed concern for the staff time needed to
process the calls. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, who handles the processing, said
the problem will be rectified with the installation of a new phone system within six months. On a
related note, Sybill Navas asked if the time elapsed for each message could be shortened to 3
minutes to increase efficiency. If a constituent wished to extend the message, she said, the
person could asked to be called back by the Councilmember.
Navas also complimented the town for running paid advertising in the newspapers to promote
parking options at Ford Park during peak management days. In addition, Navas circulated an
article from an Aspen newspaper in which a councilmember there complimented the Vail Town
Council for being "nice."
Lastly, noting some confusion at last Tuesday's Council meeting in which the Planning and
Environmental Commission's approval of the Antlers redevelopment project was reported,
Navas made a motion to call-up the approval to clarify parking requirements. Her motion was
defeated on a 3-4 vote with Arnett, Armour, Ford, and Kurz voting against. See evening meeting
briefs for a second discussion.
Michael Jewett forwarded a comment from businessman Dan Telleen, who suggested the need
for a directory map within the parking structure to point out how to access shops and restaurants
nearby. Jewett also shared concerns about the inefficiency of forwarding Council voice mails.
In addition, Jewett asked fellow Councilmembers to retain the Park Free After 3 program, noting
(more)
Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/7-20-99
that he'll likely miss the Council meeting when a decision is made.
Kevin Foley inquired about a project initiated by the Colorado Department of Transportation
alongside 1-70 at the truck pull-off area by the Golf Course. It appears CDOT is constructing a
berm to mitigate noise at the request of a resident, Kit Williams.
Bob Armour noted that CDOT had recently asked the Vail Recreation District to halt construction
of a berm along one of the holes at the. Golf. Course. Armour said the berm had been placed on
CDOT property.
Kevin Foley acknowledged a letter from a participant of the Triple Bypass bicycle tour, thanking
the town for providing traffic control. Similarly, Foley said there were positive comments about
traffic control during the recent Courage Classic bicycle tour.
--Executive Session
The Council voted 5-2 (Foley, Jewett against) to move into executive session to discuss
personnel matters. The vote was taken because the Council agenda inadvertently left this item
off the public notice.
Evening Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
Joe Staufer introduced a new organization, the Vail Chamber of Commerce, to the Town
Council. The 50-member group has initiated a membership drive this week and will be seeking
time on a future Council agenda to discuss the group's activities in more detail, Staufer said.
Among the group's requests is an interest in providing input regarding operation of the
information booths.
Kaye Ferry, representing the Vail Village Merchant Association, offered the organization's
support for the new Vail Chamber of Commerce, saying its Vail-only focus is a step in the right
direction.
Rick Sackbauer, representing the Vail Valley Exchange Board of Directors, outlined the training
exchange program between Vail and its sister city, Mt. Buller, Australia, and encouraged
businesses to consider employing the Australian trainees for the 99-2000 ski season. A
recruitment trip to Mt. Buller is planned soon, and will include representatives from the Town of
Vail. Last year during a similar trip, Sackbauer said he interviewed 110 eager applicants; 80 of
whom came to the Vail Valley. He said he was saddened to leave 30 qualified people behind
because he had no where to place them. Unemployment in Australia is high during Vail's ski
season, he said, which makes the program beneficial for both parties. For more information,
contact Sackbauer at 376-0178.
Next, Eric Baumann, owner of the Noel Christmas shop in the Sitzmark Building, appeared
before the Council to ask for additional flexibility by the town in granting permission to operate an
almond roasting stand in front of his business. Baumann, who has been operating his shop for
the past 19 years, said he needs the extra income from the outdoor operation to recover losses
from his shop. He asked the Council to support a "friendly Vail" campaign between now and
Oktoberfest to help merchants overcome a disappointing winter season.

Add 31TOV Council Highlights/7-20-99
Jim Lamont, representing the East Village Homeowners Association, requested Council
reconsider its earlier decision to let the Planning and Environmental Commission approval of the
Antlers redevelopment stand. Lamont said the Council should call-up the approval because the
matter should be discussed at the highest levels due to the magnitude of the project.
Kaye Ferry returned to the podium and echoed Lamont's request, noting that the parking
requirements for the Antlers needed additional review.
Ken Schwartz of Breckenridge, an acquaintance of Eric Baumann, appealed to the Council, to
work quickly to address Baumann's request for his outdoor almond toasting stand. He said a
similar request was worked out in Breckenridge which proved to be beneficial for both parties.
Given Vail's economic climate, Schwartz encouraged the Council to be more business-friendly.
Joe Staufer returned to the podium and offered support for the proposed Marriott
redevelopment, which was considered for second reading later in the meeting. Staufer said the
-proposal was in keeping with the newly-approved Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan by
transforming a "frog into a prince." On the other hand, Staufer criticized approval of the Antlers
redevelopment, saying it did not meet the objectives of the Lionshead Master Plan from an
aesthetic standpoint.
Next, Councilmember Sybill Navas reiterated a request raised during the work session to call-up
PEC approval of the Antlers redevelopment. This discussion took place at the end of the
evening's regular agenda in which the Council again voted to let the PEC approval stand.
--Consent Agenda
The Council voted 7-0 to approve the consent agenda, which contained a mayoral proclamation
naming July 31 Colorado Cares Day, as well as second reading of an ordinance authorizing the
sale of the Red Sandstone Creek affordable housing property to the homeowner's association in
preparation for closing on the property.
--Marriott's Mountain Resort at Vail Redevelopment
The Council voted 6-1 (Foley against) to approve second reading of an ordinance amending the
Mariott's Mountain Resort Special Development District (SDD) to allow for redevelopment of the
property. The project includes a "re-skin" of the exterior of the building as well as construction of
66 interval ownership club units on top of the existing parking structure. The proposal also
includes conversion of the "Windows" restaurant to four condominium units and the conversion
of existing ski/storage area to six employee housing units. In addition, the applicant has agreed
to master lease another eight housing beds for an eight year period. This represents an
employee generation housing multiplier of 50 percent. During the public comment period, two
attorneys representing the adjacent Vail Spa property raised concerns about the application's
completeness and its ability to meet the requirements of an SDD and the Lionshead Master
Plan. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead assured the Council that conditions had been met by the
applicant. Mayor Rob Ford expressed frustration with the Vail Spa representatives, noting that
they'd waited to the 11 th hour" to bring their issues forward, while Councilman Michael Arnett
said the attorneys were "grasping at straws" in objecting to the proposal. Councilman Bob
Armour said he suspected Vail Spa's real objection was the loss of private view corridors, which
are not protected by the town's codes. Councilman Ludwig Kurz said although the project won't
meet everyone's expectations, it is a great step in the right direction for the community's overall
benefit. In voting against the measure, Councilman Kevin Foley had previously expressed
(more)
Add 4/TOV Council Highlights/7-20-99
concerns about a landmark feature on top of the building, loading and delivery issues, as well as
a concern about notification criticisms offered by the Vail Spa attorneys. For more information,
contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145.
--Sale of Vail East Lodging Buy-Down Unit
The Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance authorizing the sale of the town's
East Vail "buy-down" housing unit to a qualified buyer. The closing occurred July 12. The sales
price for the deed-restricted unit was $140,000. For more information, contact Nina Timm in the
Community Development Department at 479-2144.
--Town Manager's Report
After hearing an update on a proposed wayfinding'study, the Council voted 6-1 (Arnett against)
to authorize up to $75,000 to hire a consulting team to develop a plan for improved directional
signs for motorists and pedestrians. Eight teams from across the country have responded to the
town's request for proposals. The town's last wayfinding program was implemented prior to the
1989 World Alpine Ski Championships. For more information, contact Town Manager Bob
McLaurin at 479-2105.
--Antlers Redevelopment
Following a second discussion regarding the Antlers redevelopment approval by the Planning
and Environmental Commission, the Council repeated its earlier vote and rejected a motion by
Sybil[ Navas to call-up the item for review by the Town Council. Navas had previously
expressed concerns about a parking variance associated with the approval.

Vail Mayor
MAYOR FORD STEPPING DOWN FROM VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AT MID-TERM
(Vail)--Vail Mayor Rob Ford announced today he'll resign from the Town Council this November
upon completion of his two-year mayoral term. The resignation will come at the mid-point of
Ford's current four-year term.
Ford says his decision to step down is two-fold. "I found that I needed to find a better balance in
my personal life," he said. "I also believe my departure is in the community's best interest." Ford,
who's known for his aggressive leadership style, says he's become frustrated by Vail's inability to
act proactively in addressing its problems.
"During this council's first two years, we asked the community to outline and define what issues
they wanted us to address," he said. "Those issues were upgrading our aging economic
infrastructure, dealing with the affordable housing problem and adopting a plan for building
community facilities. In the second two years, we did exactly what we were asked to do. And
while many viable solutions have been brought to the table, the community hasn't embraced those
solutions with the same level of commitment. So, rather than continue the impasse, I'd like to see
someone else forge ahead with solutions the community can support," Ford said.
In 1995, Ford, then a newcomer to Vail politics, was narrowly elected to his first term on the
Town Council. He won a 2-year term, finishing fourth out of a 10-person field. In the 1997
election, Ford's rising popularity was reflected in a top-place finish. In recognition of his top finish,
(more)

Add 1/Ford to Resign
he was elected to a 2-year mayoral term, which expires in November 1999.
The next election will be an important one, Ford says. "We're at a crossroads." Ford says all
aspects of the Vail community must start to work together in establishing an acceptable balance
between being a viable resort and a residential community. He says a continued failure to work
together will force Vail to face the consequences of a prolonged and painful internal struggle like
Aspen experienced in the late 80's. "The next council must find that proper balance between
resort and community. The existing conflict between the various Vail factions, such as the
neighborhoods and businesses, must be resolved and quickly," he said.
A special election will be needed to fill Ford's unexpired term. That election could be held
concurrently with the regular election on Nov. 2 in which four other council seats will be elected.
Under that scenario, the council candidate receiving the fifth highest number of votes would be
elected to fill the vacancy. A final decision on the timing of the special election rests with the
current Town Council.
On a personal note, Ford says he's grown increasingly uncomfortable with the level of personal
criticism and negativity surrounding Vail politics. "You know such heated criticism is born out of
frustration, yet it definitely wears you down to the point where you end up asking yourself if it's
worth it. It's so easy to sit around and complain. The hard part is bringing constructive resolutions
to the table and negotiating their acceptance."
Ford says he's very proud of the major accomplishments that have been achieved during his
tenure. Among them, approval of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, adoption of the
multi-year, multi-phased affordable housing plan, and the introduction of a community facilities
plan. Additional housing accomplishments have included completion of the 24-unit Town of Vail
seasonal housing development, the 18-unit for sale housing development at Red Sandstone, and
the purchase of Vail's first "buy-down" affordable housing unit. Along with the Lionshead Master

Plan, the completion of the Austria Haus, which was a battle in itself, according to Ford, are all
positives for Vails revival. In addition, Ford says council's rejection of the 8-story Vail Plaza Hotel
redevelopment proposal was an appropriate decision that preserves the scale and character of
Vail for the future. He hopes the developer will come forward soon with a smaller hotel
redevelopment proposal.
"I've had some wonderful experiences representing this community and for that I thank the Vail
community," Ford said. "To host the World Championships was truly extraordinary. I also can't
say enough about the dedication of Bob McLaurin and his exceptional staff. I will miss working
with them. My wife, Debbie, also deserves tremendous credit for being truly supportive."
Ford says he'll spend the remainder of his mayoral term working on current council initiatives.
Those include an employee generation ordinance, a revision of the public accommodation zone
district development standards and potential development reviews for the Vail Associates core
site. "We still have our sights set on accomplishing as much as we can within this council's
current term," he said. "We want to continue to fulfill our campaign pledges as best we can."
In addition to Ford's unexpired term, the four other council seats that will be up for election in
November are currently held by Bob Armour, Michael Arnett, Kevin Foley and Michael Jewett. To
date, Jewett is the only outgoing councilmember who has indicated he will not seek re-election.
Ford has lived in Vail since 1973 when he moved here from Michigan. His first job in Vail was at
the Vail Village Inn, where he was a maintenance worker. He later began a career in real estate
by working in the office of Rod Slifer. Ford currently sells real estate with the firm of Christopher,
Denton, Kelton and Kendall.

AGENDA Loriane came to express thanks to the Board for the past 25 years of

PROPOSAL Mike went over the list of equipment needs and explained this is not a wish
list, but items necessary for safety issues. He stated he addressed Bart's
concerns on the phone of moving the equipment and the special flooring

motioned to approve purchasing the listed equipment. Nancy seconded.
Passed unanimously.

JUL-22-1999 14:23 VAIL REC DISTRICT P.02 n
Along with the equipment needs, Mike is asking for a change of the fee
stricture. Ross feels the higher fees now would get participants used to
paying a fee more suited to an improved facility. Chris is concerned with
those families not able to absorb the higher monthly fee. Mike stated he is
willing to pursue scholarships just for gymnastics programs to facilitate
those who cannot afford the increase. Chris also wanted Mike to be careful
not to structure programs and classes that pay for themselves, nor to make
decisions based on financial issues, as the true meaning of recreational
programs is to provide a service not necessarily to make money. Mike
stated this increase would give us an opportunity to have the program grow
and the fee will be properly set up when it does move into'a new facility.
Chris motioned to approve the fee increase to $6.25 as opposed to a
smaller increase now and again when we get a new facility. Ross
seconded. Passed unanimously.
VARIANCE REPORT Bob reported the YTD District bottom line for the 4-month period ending
April 30' shows a favorable variance of $176,000. Variances from
Operations is favorable $113,000 (only slightly less than last month), and
is still mainly due to timing differences while Captex is favorable
$63,000.Golf branch is favorable $58,000 and results from the pending
payment of $46,000 for the cart fleet (payment made in May) and a
reduced early season parts order for maintenance. Other revenues are
favorable $49,000 due to an unanticipated one-time dividend of.$31,0W
from Standard Insurance as well as taxes being up $15,000. Sports is
favorable $10,000 due to savings in salaries as there were some vacancies
in staff. Contributing unfavorably are Dobson ($27,000); Youth Services
($18,000); Admin. ($12,000); and Outdoors ($8,000). As communicated
last month, Dobson's variance has "caught" up as anticipated revenues
were collected, however, the unfavorable variances from rink rental, guest
fees, and skate rentals, as well as salaries due to the championships still
remain. Youth Services variance remains the same from our last report,
which is due to misposted buy-in revenue. Admin. and Outdoors variances
are the results of additional salaries due to the salary survey and an
addition to staff, respectively. Cap/ex is mainly due to Golf Maintenance
which is favorable $66,000 and is due to timing as our new fairway
mowers have yet to be purchased. Other minor fluctuations are present
within other departments, however, these too are just due to timing.
DOBSON UPDATE Bob issued a memo from Jim Heber on the results of a meeting between
TOV, O'Dell Architects, Design Workshop, and Peak Civil Engineering
concerning flood plain issues. The group's decision was to have a more
elaborate study of the area ready for the June 28' PEC meeting.
GOLF FEES Bob updated the Directors on staff s decision to keep the rates discounted
until June 18", At that time, the rates will be increased to full season rates.
WORKSESSION It was decided to cancel the worksession scheduled for June 22, 1999.

RE: Antler's at Vail, Design Review Procedure
The Association requests the Town Council to review immediately the sequencing and sta-
tus of the Design Review approval and appeals procedure for the Antler's at Vail. The Association
believes that there has been an inappropriate application of the project review procedures.
The Association requests that the Town Council require the publication and conduct of a
public hearing before the Design Review Board to consider final design review approval for the Ant-
ler's at Vail.
The Town has historically imposed a standing policy over all development projects that they
cannot receive final design review approval until all matters pending or under appeal before the
Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council are completed. The decision for final
design review approval must be made at a public hearing with adequate public notice. This long
held procedure has been followed so that the Town Council could make decisions that were not
bound by decisions of lesser boards such as the Design Review Board. According to Town Admin-
istrators, final Design Review approval for the Antler's occurred before all matters pending before
the Town Council were completed. According to Administrators the period for appeal of the final
Design Review decision was closed prior to the Town Council's final decision with respect to the ap-
plication. If true, the administrative appeals process may have been suborned.
Please review the attached memorandum with respect to the issue of concern surrounding the
Design Review procedures as well as other matters associated with the review of the Antler's at Vail.

RE: Lionshead Master Plan Antler's At Vail Decision
Introduction: The Homeowner's Association is concerned with the correctness of the deci-
sion making process surrounding the recent approvals by the Town of Vail for the expansion of the
Antler's At Vail condominium building in Lionshead. The Town of Vail, under the provision of the
recently adopted Lionshead Master Plan and rezoning ordinance, approved twenty new condomini-
um units and granted an unprecedented variance from the parking requirement. Each of these ap-
provals did not conform with the primary goals of the Master Plan. The Town's approval is
precedent setting. The Antler's is the first project to be approved under the auspices of the Master
Plan and the Lionshead Mixed Use Zone District.
The Master Plan calls for the exterior architectural upgrade of existing buildings. The plan
stipulates that redevelopment projects would be allowed density increases if there is an increase in
the on-site inventory of short term visitor accommodations. Redevelopment projects would be ap-
proved if there is no net loss of parking. The Town's approval of the Antler's conformed to none of
these goals.
The Antler's decision gives the appearance that the Master Plan is being used as a ruse to
give away density, parking concessions, and variances. The practice of give-aways would have been
prohibited under previous regulations.
The General Manager for the Antler's is a former Town Councilman. He is closely aligned
with the tax increase and public spending agenda before the Town's Administration. The lack of
compliance with the three fundamental tenets of the Lionshead Master Plan gives the appearance
that political influence was brought to bear on this matter.
Vail Resorts Inc. is currently in negotiations to make an estimated $250 million capital in-
vestment in Lionshead and Vail Village. A majority of the investment will occur on their properties
that are in close proximity to the Antler's site. The types of development under discussion are high
end residential and commercial projects. The effects of these projects on property values throughout
Lionshead and the economic health of the community will be profound.
The Antler's proposal threatens to undermine the full extent of the positive influence that
VRI's investments could bring to the resurrection of Lionshead from its economic doldrums. If
Lionshead is not pulled up by the VRI investment the economic well being of the community will
continue to suffer.
Exterior Architectural Upgrade: The Antler's tower is a dominant image on the land-
scape of Lionshead. It occupies a central location and is viewable from nearly every vantage point

in the surrounding area. A failure to upgrade substantially the existing Antler's building will cause
it to be an economic drag on surrounding properties and the redevelopment of Lionshead.
The failure to upgrade the architectural exterior of the existing building will adversely affect
investor interest in making quality improvement to surrounding properties. The Antler's plan will be
an overall deterrent to a qualitative redevelopment of Lionshead because it will deflate expectations
for a meaningful return on investment on the part of surrounding property owners.
If the Antler's property owners wait to undertake redevelopment until qualitative develop-
ment occurs in the area, the opposite effect would result. Qualitative development on nearby sites
would have the effect of raising values on the existing Antler's property. A rise in real value would
give the owners a greater degree of reliability that they will receive a more desirable return on in-
vestment through a higher degree of qualitative redevelopment, commensurate with new qualitative
standards for the area, of their existing building.
Town administrators justify their decision to not require an upgrade of the existing building
by arguing that the new addition looks better than what is there now. Many believe, it's not good
enough. The architect for the expansion project is an owner in the building. No effort was made to
hire a consultant architect to consider methods of improving the appearance of the existing structure.
The Town of Vail did not invoke its authority to have the project reviewed by a professional design
consultant. The Town has used such consultants frequently in the past. Administrators use the
number of meetings needed to review the project as a measure of its successful compliance with
Town standards rather than as an example of an intractable applicant.
Short Term Bed Base: The Antler's will not make a commitment that the new condomini-
um units will be required to be rented short term when the owners of the units are not in residence.
Similar requirements are imposed by other condominium associations throughout the Town in order
to increase the volume of visitors coming to the community. The Town Council has not approved,
in recent memory, this amount of unrestricted fee simple condominium units.
Parting Variance: If the Antler's is unable to meet its parking requirement through valet
parking and other design consideration it is tied, through the terms of the parking variance, to the
payment of a pay-in-lieu parking fee to make up any deficit in required parking. The pay-in-lieu
parking fee is a means of property owners to buy their way out of paying for the construction of
parking spaces. Construction cost for a parking space well exceeds the cost ofthe pay-in-lieu fee. In
actual fact, via the pay-in-lieu, the parking demand from new development on the site is transferred
to the public parking structures. Therefore, there will be a net loss of parking available to the gener-
al pubic.
In most areas of Vail Village pay-in-lieu parking is limited to the pedestrian precinct where
on-site parking is not desired. Such is the case because increase vehicular traffic conflicts with the
pedestrian quality of Vail Village. The Antler's is not in a pedestrian precinct, nor will it be, accord-
ing to the Master Plan.
The Town Council has commissioned a study to determine if it should reduce the amount of
parking for short term accommodation projects. If the Antler's does not make a commitment to short
term their condominium units, they would not be eligible for a parking reduction. As part of their
deliberation regarding pay-in-lieu parking fee and parking standards, the council is considering re-
moving from eligibility for the pay-in-lieu fee those sites that are accessible by vehicle and lie out-
side of the pedestrian precinct. If adopted, the Antler's would not be eligible for pay-in-lieu. Finally,

JFL/BG/BOD/IP - Lionshead Master Plan - Antler's At Vail Decision - 7/23/1999
whatever standards and pay-in-lieu policies are adopted they would be applied uniformly to all prop-
erty owners in similar circumstances. The Town by granting the variance to Antler's granted a spe-
cial privilege to void requirements that are presently applied to all other property owners.
Inappropriate Application Of Review Procedures: The Town has historically imposed a
standing policy over all development projects that they cannot receive final design review approval
until all matters pending or under appeal before the Planning and Environmental Commission and
Town Council are completed. The decision for final design review approval must be made at a pub-
lic hearing with adequate public notice. This long held procedure has been followed so that the
Town Council could make decisions that were not bound by decisions of lesser boards such as the
Design Review Board. According to Town Administrators, final Design Review approval for the
Antler's occurred before all matters pending before the Town Council were completed. According to
Administrators the period for appeal of the final Design Review decision was closed prior to the
Town Council's final decision with respect to the application. If true, the administrative appeals pro-
cess may have been subomed. The Association will request the Town Council to review immediate-
ly the sequencing and status of the Design Review approval and appeals procedure for the Antler's.
In contrast, the Marriott Hotel redevelopment, located adjacent to the Antler's was required
by Town Officials to conform to an extensive array of Master Plan and design review stipulations.
The Town's double standard for the Antler's becomes painfully evident when a comparison is made
of the proposed exterior architectural treatment of each of the buildings.
Summary: The review and approval of the Antler's project is fundamentally flawed. Criti-
cal master planning conformance criteria and design standards, in these precedent setting decisions,
are substantially undermined. The equal application of parking standards and review procedures
were suborned, creating a special privilege. The actions of the Town of Vail are regrettable. They
do a disservice to the integrity of the institution and the economic well being of the community.
The Homeowners Association participated throughout the entirety of the Lionshead Master
Planning and rezoning process. Its membership includes properties subject to the Lionshead Master
Plan and the zoning ordinance. The Association became involved with the Lionshead planning pro-
cess to insure that the plan had no adverse effects upon the interests of Vail Village and its sur-
rounding residential neighborhoods. Further, that the design standards and review procedures are
implemented in a fair and consistent manner as they are precedent setting for similar regulations in
Vail Village.
The Association raised objections to the appropriate authorities with respect to the foregoing
issues throughout the entirety of the Antler's review process. The quality of decision making, as
well as other affiliated issues regarding rezoning and related matters in Vail Village, give due cause
for the Association to be concerned with the consequences of this decision.

After a complete review of your letter of July 19, 1999, a review of the Town of Vail records and

presently no decision or action subject to appeal.
It is my understanding that the Town of Vail will continue to monitor the progress of this project as
it does all other construction projects within the Town of Vail.

From: Sally Lorton
Re: June sales tax collections
Attached please find the latest sales tax worksheet. I estimate I'll collect another $34,000.00 in
June sales tax to bring June collections to $680,675.00. If so, we will be up $47,275.00 or 7.46%
from June 1998 and up $25,245.00 or 3.85% from budget. Year to date collections would total
$8,496,511.00 and we would be down $263,498.00 or 3.01% from 1998 and down $567,957.00
or 6.27% from budget.
