Mr. Todd Rymer
Johnson & Wales University
616 W. Lionshead Circle, Suite 101 ~
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Todd:
On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I wanted to put in writing what we perceive to be the value
of continuing the Johnson & Wales training program in the Town of Vail. It is our understanding
this seven year program has added immense value to the overall character and business attitude
that supports this community. Because we are a tourist-reliant community, a program such as
Johnson & Wales adds incredibly to both our employee population as well as the high caliber food service industry standard that is so important to Vail. The Vail Town Council believes it would
be very unfortunate to lose the program that trains between 30 to 40 graduates per year in the
culinary industry.
Therefore, if there is anything we can do to insure the longevity of the Johnson & Wales
University program within the Town of Vail, please call on us to come forward to speak on its
behalf. There are the collective thoughts of the Vail Town Council and this community at large.
Sincerely,
TO OF V L

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Robert W. McLaurin, Town Manager
DATE: August 20, 1999
RE: Eric Baumann Request
As you are aware, Eric Baumann, who operates the Noel Christmas Shop on Gore Creek Drive,
has attempted to sell roasted almonds in a mobile cart. This activity violates Section 12-713-
18(A) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. It should be noted that if this activity was part of the
business conducted within the building, he would be eligible to apply for a conditional use
permit. However, because the almond cart activity is substantially different than the retail, he is
not eligible to apply for a conditional use permit for the cart.
At Tuesday night's Council meeting, Mr. Baumann questioned why an artist could use the Gore .
Creek Promenade to paint and sell portraits on public land while he was unable to conduct his
activity on private property.
In 1987, follo.wing years of intermittent discussions, the Town Council passed Ordinance No. 24,
Series of 1987, authorizing both Street Entertainnent and Street Artisan permits to be issued.
The Council was both cautious and thoughtful in regard to the wording of this ordinance and
very deliberate in allowing what they did. Street Entertainment permits, under this addition to
the Code, would offer additional musical or entertainment opportunities to enhance the ambiance
of the villages and the commercial areas of Vail and at no cost to the town. Street Artisans were
to produce two-dimensional art (art which is produced AT THE TIME of sale) and is interactive
w/the public. Both of these permits were deemed to provide a product not available through
commercial retailers and were not seen as directly competitive to year'round businesses.
Although food vendors were discussed, at that time the restaurant community was very opposed
to allowing food vending carts in town, based primarily on their (restaurants) high lease
payments and cost of doing business. Therefore, food vendors were not included in the
ordinance. RECYCLEDPAPER
~
ti
Additionally, there is a Special Events License which allows additional activities in the public
rights-of-way. A Special Events holder may authorize the outdoor sales on public right-of-way
in conjunction with his or her special event. As a part of the permit, the location is reviewed by
the Development Review Team to make certain no emergency vehicle access is blocked.
I have enclosed a letter from Mr. Baumann requesting changes to the ordinance which would
- permit his activity.
The Council needs to let us know how you wish us to proceed in this matter. There are several
options which you may wish to consider. These include:
• Amend Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1987, to allow food carts as part of the street
artisans/entertainer's permit.
• Review Ordinance No. 24 and eliminate the provision that allows the sale of public art, street
artisans, but would retain the street entertainment portion of the ordinance.
• Leave the ordinance as currently written. .
Please let us know how you wish us to proceed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: August 24, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to continue discussions of the proposed text
amendments to the Public Accommodation Zone District regulations
amending the various development standards, revising the development
review process, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Johannes Faessler, represented by Tom Braun
Planner: George Ruther
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REGlUEST
On August 10, 1999, the applicant again appeared before the Vail Town Council for a
worksession to discuss the proposed text amendments to the Public Accommodation
Zone District. Following the discussions, the Council recommended:
? That revisions be made to Section 12-7A-15 (addition of GRFA) of the proposed
language to close certain potential loopholes and inconsistencies with the Town's
development objectives,
? that the implementation language of Section 12-7A-9 (site coverage) be amended to
more clearly tie the regulation to the guidelines of the Vail Village Urban Design
Guide Plan and Design Considerations,
? that the applicant continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the Vail Village Urban
Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations for implementing the proposed text
amendments,
? that additional language be added to Section 12-7A-8 (density control) to allow 150%
GRFA only upon the PEC determining compliance of a proposal with the Vail Village
Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations, if a finding of compliance can
not be made by the PEC, then a lesser percentage of GRFA would be required,and
? that alternatives to required parking on-site for properties zone PA with lot sizes of
less than'/2 acre.
The applicant and staff have addressed the requests of the Town Council. The changes
that have been made will be presented to the Town Council for their review and
consideration. .
II. DISCUSSION ISSUES
The following issues were identified by the Council at the August 10ih meeting and need
further discussion:
41L
TOWN
. y
Parking Requirement Options
A concern was expressed by several members of ihe Council that certain properties
zoned Public Accommodation could not take full advantage of each of the proposed ,
changes to the development standards, as the development standards of these
properties were limited by the requirement for parking. As a result, the Council requested
that staff provide alternatives for the parking requirements.
As discussed during previous worksession meetings, the Town of Vail has received a
grant from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments to complete a parking study.
The purpose-of the parking study is to determine the appropriateness of the current
parking requirements and identify opportunities for amending the requirements town-
wide. Staff continues to believe that it is more appropriate to amend the parking
requirements town-wide, if in fact the results of the parking study suggest amendments,
rather than create different parking requirements for each of the individual zone districts.
Staff further believes that the proposed text amendments for the Public Accommodation
zone district should not be put on hold to await the findings of the parking`study. It may
be a finding of the study that no changes to the parking requirements are necessary,
thus, the positive benefits of the proposed texts amendments would have only been
unnecessarily delayed. A report from the hired to assistance in the preparation of the
parking study is'due September 1, 1999. Staff will be presenting the findings of the
parking study to the Council and community during the month of September.
Possible Parking Alternatives
,
1. Parking Pay-in-Lieu
This concept would allow property owners to pay-in-lieu to the Town of.Vail
Parking Fund for tiiose required parking spaces they can not physically provide
on-site. The amount to be paid into the fund would be determined at the time of
building permit and the per parking space fee would be adjusted annually to
reflect increases/decreases in costs.
2. No Parking/No Building
This concept would require property owners to fully comply with the each of the
required development standards, including parking. Where conflicts between
standards exist, the most restrictive or limiting standard applies. For example, if
you utilize all your allowable GRFA, but have remaining site coverage, you do not
get additional GRFA so that you can use all your site coverage. Similarly, if you -
can not meet your parking requirements you do not get any additional
condominiums, though you could do site improvements that would not increase
your parking requirements.
3. No Parking/Building
This concept is the direct opposite of the previously described. In this case, the
parking requirement could be waived by the Planning & Environmental
Commission if the applicant can demonstrate that the required parking can not be -
physically provided on-site. Possible criteria for consideration of such a waiver
2
might include, uses (au vs. du), proximity to a pubiic parking structure, ability of
ttie project to meet the development objectives of the Town, proximity and
availability of public transit, demo/rebuild, etc. -
4. Amend the Parking Requirement Ratios
This concept would create different parking requirements for properties zoned
Public Accommodation. For example, rather than require 0.4 parking spaces plus
0.1 parking spaces per 100 square feet of floor area for an accommodation unit
as is currently required in the Public Accommodation Zone District, the maximum
parking requirement for any accommodation unit regardless of size might be 0.5
or less spaces. Similarly, the parking requirement could be amended throughout
the zone district for each of the permitted, accessory and conditional uses.
5. Permit Off-site Parking
This concept would allow property owners to meet the parking requirement off-site
rather than require it be on-site. Most importantly, however, the parking would still
be required to be provided.
Regardless of whichever of the options is pursued, staff would recommend that criteria
be adopted to aid in determining the appropriateness of waiving the on-site parking
requirement. Possible criteria might include:
? Proximity to public transportation
? Provision of private shuttle service
? Accessibility to streets- and roads
? Distance to public parking
Implementation Options
At the August 10`h meeting, the Council again discussed the options for implementing the
proposed amendments. The Planning & Environmental Commission has recommended
to the Council that the most appropriate option for implementation of the proposed
changes is via text amendments. The "text amendment" option was selected by the ,
Commission over the "create a new, zone district and repuire rezoninas" options. Staff
believes that these two options continue to be the most viable of alternatives. Given the
two alternatives, staff would recommend text amendments versus creating a new zone
district that requires rezonings.
Text Amendment Changes
At the August 10`h meeting, the Council requested additional evaluation of the
implementation strategies of the density control, site coverage, and addition of GRFA to
existing PA properties requirements. The applicant and the staff have made revisions to
these sections of the regulations. A draft copy of the proposed text amendments
including the most recent changes has been attached for reference. See Sections 12-7A-
8, 9, & 15 for details.

MEMORANDUM
- TO: Planning & Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 28, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for a final review of a proposal to amend the Town's "Public
Accommodation Zone District," Chapter 7 and amendments to Chapter 15, Gross
Residential Floor Area (GRFA), Town of Vail Municipal Code.
Applicant: Johannes Faessler, represented by Braun Associates, Inc.
Planner: George Ruther
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
On December 14, 1998, the applicant's representative, Tom Braun, appeared before the
Planning & Environmental Commission with a request for a worksession to discuss text
amendments to the Public Accommodation Zone District. During the meeting, a number of
issues were discussed. A copy of the minutes from the December 14'h meeting is attached for
reference.
On January 2, 1999, the applicant's representative rnet with the Planning & Environmental
Commission and the Vail Town Council for a joint worksession to further discuss the proposed
text amendments. Following a presentation of the issues and amendments by Tom Braun, the
Council and the Commission each agreed that amendments were needed.
On February 22, 1999, the applicant's representative again met with the Planning &
Environmental Commission to continue discussion on the proposed amendments to the Public
Accommodation Zone District. A copy of the February 22'd meeting minutes have been
attached for reference.
The following discussion issues were concluded and needed no further discussion, according to
the PEC:
? Building height shall remain unchanged with a maximum of 48' for sloping roofs and 45' for
flat roofs;
? Common area shall no longer be limited to 35%(per Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1999);
? A 10% limitation shall be placed on restaurant and retail development with a conditional use
permit required to exceed 10%;
? Setbacks shall be 20' on all sides with the ability to reduce the setback requirement without
a variance given that certain criteria are met;
? Horizontal zoning should not be implemented. Instead, the market should determine the
uses on the different levels of a building;and
„
1 TOWN OF VAIL ~
`
• .
? The proposed text amendments shal( be applicable to all properties currently zoned Pubfic
Accommodation. Rezonings should not be required. ,
On March 22, 1999, the applicant again appeared before the Planning & Environmental
Commission for a worksession to discuss proposed amendments to the Public Accommodation
Zone District. The purpose of the March 22"d was to continue discussions on the following
issues:
? The Commission agreed that the GRFA, site coverage and landscaping figures should be
amended, though a final percentage for each standard was not determined;
. ? The Commission agreed that the definition of a"lodge" needs to be amended to further
insure that accommodation units are constructed in the Public Accommodation Zone District,
yet a final definition was not concluded.
? The Commission expressed a nesd to revise the development review- process, but again,
further discussion was required.
Following discussion on the above-described issues, the Commission concluded the following:
? The GRFA percentage needs to be increased to accurately reflect the development objectives of the community and the goals of our master plans. The Commission instructed
the applicant to continue to study the issue and propose a percentage for the Commission to
evaluate. -
? The site coverage percentage should be increased. The applicant had been proposing an
increase from 55% to 70%. The Commission believed "an increase to 65% was more
appropriate with an emphasis on continuing to require on-site parking. The Commission did
not favor a reduction in the landscape percentage requirement. Therefore, the Commission
is recommending that the landscape percentage should remain at 30% of the site area.
? The Commission concluded that the definition of a"lodge" should be amended to require
that at least 70% of the allowable GRFA be devoted to accommodation units and that 30%
be available for dwelling units. The Commission also believed that the "use" of a unit should
determine whether the unit is considered a dwelling unit or accammodation unit, when calculating density (dwelling units/acre). In which case, fractional fee units or other forms of
interval ownership could be considered accommodation units for density calculating
purposes regardless of the presence of kitchen facilities.
? The Commission believed the development review process needed amending. The purpose
of amending the review process was to improve upon the ineffective nature of the review
process of special development districts, continue to provide opportunities for public input at
public hearings other than the Design Review Board, and to create a more user-friendly,
customer-oriented and streamlined process. In response to the Commission's interests, the
applicant has proposed that a process simifar to the review process for Vail Village and
Lionshead be adopted and implemented. The applicant has amended and completed the text amendment proposal since the March 22nd
worksession meeting. All aspects of the proposal discussed and concluded acceptable by the
Planning & Environmental Commission prior to the March 22nd meeting remain unchanged (i.e.,
building height, setbacks, uses, implementation of amendments, etc.).
The final changes made to the proposal include:
2
? Increasing allowable GRFA from 80% to 150% of the buildabie area of the site.
? Increasing the allowable site coverage from 55% to 65% while maintaining the minimum
landscape requirement at 30% of the site area. ? Amending the definition of a"lodge" to state, in part, "that the gross residential floor area
devoted to accommodation units is equal to or greater than 70% of the total gross. residential
floor area on the site."
? Amending the development review process to implement a process similar to the process
just adopted for Lionshead. This process would require Planning & Environmental
Commission consideration of all proposals for projects which add accommodation units,
dwelling units, fractional fee units, more than 1,000 square feet of commercial floor area or
common space, or any project that has substantial off-site impacts. The Design Review
Board would continue to be charged with the responsibility of review all projects, regardless
of unit types, square footage, etc. The process would also include a Compliance Burden
and Mitigation of Development Impacts requirement, as recently required in L.ionshead.
A copy of the applicanYs proposal is attached for reference. The applicant's proposal outlines
the proposed amendments and provides additional background information on each of the
amendments.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the proposed text
amendments to the Public Accommodation Zone District. Staff's recommendation for- approval
is based upon the review of the amendments, the ability of the amendments to resolve the
problems identified with the current development standards, the development review process,
and the discussions at the public hearings.
Should the Commission choose to recommend approval of the proposed text amendments to
the Town Council, staff would recommend that the following findings be made part of the
motion:
1. That the proposed development standards further the development objectives of the Town
of Vail.
2. That the proposed development standards are in keeping with the purpose and intent of the
Public Accommodation Zone District.
3. That the interests of the community are being met by the adoption and implementation of
the proposed development standards and the revised development review process.
III. ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS
The intent of the proposed text amendments to the Public Accommodation Zone District is to
update the Town's development standards prescribed for those properties zoned Public
Accommodation and to adopt and implement a new development review process for property
undergoing development or redevelopment in the Public Accommodation Zone District.
3
,
The applicant, staff, Town Council and community have identified two problems with the existing .
Public Accommodation Zone District. One of the underlying problems identified is that the
existing development standards (GRFA, density, setbacks, etc.) are outdated and do not allow
the flexibility needed to develop a viable, high-quality lodge and lodging product. The ideas of
the 1970's, when the development standards were originally adopted, are outdated and new
means of regulating the development and redevelopment of lodges are needed.
A second problem that has been identified is the existing development review process. Since
the current development standards for the Public Accommodation Zone District are outdated, a
majority of the most recent proposals for development and redevelopment in the District have ,
been requests for special development districts. Special development districts have been
utilized for redevelopment as a means of achieving the necessary flexibility to devefop a viable,
high-quality lodge and lodging product. One need not look very far to see that the special
development district review process is a very difficult and arduous process rarely ending in a
win-win situation for all the participates. Several problems identified of the process include
inequities in the review process, ill-defined development standards, uncertainty in the decision-
making process, poorly-defined roles and expectations of the applicant and Boards, and the
vast amounts of time, expense and energy required of the process itself.
Staff believes that the proposed amendments to the development standards and the
development review process, as outlined in this memorandum, serve to meet the goals of this
amendment process set early on by the applicant, staff, Town Council and the community. The
review process of these-amendments has included numerous worksession meetings with the
Planning & Environmental Commission, Town Council and members of the community.
Through the review process numerous revisions have been made to the proposal in response to
the dialogue and input and feedback provided. These revisions include the continued limitation
on retail and commercial square footage, maintaining the existing building height limitation of 48
feet, the assurance of public input throughout the development review process, etc.
According to Section 12-7A-1 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the purpose of the Public
Accommodation Zone District is: intended to provide sites for lodges and residentia4 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
tlensity 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. (Ord. 30(1977) § 7: Ord. 8(1973) § 7.100). -
According to the Official Zoning Map, there are seventeen properties in the Town of Vail zoned
Public Accommodation. These properties are generally located around the periphery of the
village commercial core area and include the Austria Haus*, Bavaria Haus, Chateau at Vail
(Holiday Inn), Christiania Lodge*, First Bank of Vail, Galatyn Lodge*, Lot P-3, Mountain Haus, 9
Vail Road (Holiday House), Ramshorn Condominiums*, Swiss Chalet, Roost Lodge, Talisman,
4
,
Tivoli Lodge, Vail Athletic Club', Vail Village Inn*, and Villa Valhalla. Of these seventeen
properties, six have received approvals for special development districts and have been
identified with an asterisk
If approved, the Public Accommodation Zone District will insure that the lands set aside for
lodges and guest-types of accommodations will meet the needs of the resort community and the
Vail residents. The proposed amendments will effect those 17 properties currently zoned Public
Accommodation. The majority of these properties are located at the periphery of the Town's
commercial core areas. Many of which have already undergone redevelopment that meets or
exceeds the development standards being proposed.
Lastly, staff believes that these proposed amendments further the goals of the community as
identified by the Town Council. One of the critical strategies of the Council deals with the
communities economic stability. According to the Councii, a critical strategy of the community is
to,
"promote a strong, viable local economy through a partnership with the private sector
(i.e., PA property owners). The local economy should have a solid economic base and
reasonable rate of growth. The Town will work to strengthen Vail's economy while
maintaining environmental and design excellence."
Objectives identified by the Council to attain these goals include, in part,
• Increase the number of live beds in Vail Village and Lionshead
• Work with the private sector to improve the quality of the existing bed base.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Steve Thompson
DATE: August 19, 1999
RE: Second Quarter Financial Report
Enclosed is the second quarter financial report. This report will be reviewed with the Town Council at the
August 24 work session.
The second quarter report includes staff s latest estunates on revenues and expenditures. With the ski
season behind us we have a better idea of what revenues are doirig.
Revenues:
A majority of the town's operating revenues are down from 1998, including sales tax, lift tax, parking fees
and county sales tax. The only major revenue that is keeping pace with the prior year's collections is real
estate transfer tax revenue.
Please see the schedule of required 1999 supplemental appropriations and revenue adjustments to
understand changes in revenue estimates by fund. Revenue estimates for all funds exceed budget by
$320,111, despite the fact that the town's major revenues are estimated to be below budget by $1 million
dollars. This is due to the $1,000,000 reimbursement from CDOT. This one-time revenue helped us this
year but still does not solve the town's long term financial shortfalls.
Budget Shortfall of Selected Revenues
Estimated Percent Below
Revenue Shortfall Budget
Sales Tax $ 550,000 3.5%
Lift Tax Revenue $ 400,000 18.3%
County Sales Tax $ 61,000 11.7%
Pazking Revenues $ 50,000 3.0%
Total Estimated Shortfall $1,061,000
Egpenditures:
As the schedule of required 1999 supplemental appropriations shows, the town is reducing its appropriation
of expenditures for a11 funds by $368,996. This reduction is primazily due to a reduction in capital project
fund expenditares of $2 million. The $2 million is mainly due to not purchasing land for $1.5 million and
the Lionsridge street project being under budget by $713,500. The housing and parldng structure funds
need a supplemental appropriation of $885,000 to fund the construction of the A-frame and Arosa-
Garmisch housing projects and $274,142 to fund replacement of the parking structure gate equipment.
We do expect salary and benefit savings for 1999 to be between $100,000 and $200,000 but at this time do
not lmow the exact amount. Additional overtime may offset some of this savings.

- MEMORANDUM
To: Vail Town Council
Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Comrnission
Town of Vail Design Review Board
From: George Ruther, Senior Planner
Date: August 24, 1999
_Re: A joint worksession to begin preliminary discussions with regard to the proposed redevelopment.of the Vail
Village Inn, Phase N, located within Special Development District No. 6. '
1. PURPOSE OF THE WORKSESSION
The purpose of the joint worksession meeting is:
• To provide the applicant with the opportunity to present the proposed redevelopment to each of the Boards
involved in the review process.
• To describe the development review process of the proposed major amendment to SDD No. 6.
• To provide the Town Council, Planning & Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board with an
opportunity to identify issues or areas of concem early on in the development review process.
• To seek consensus amongst the Boards regarding issues and azeas of concem that the applicant will need to
address.
II. DESCRIPTION OF TFIE REOUEST
The applicant, Valdir Pratto, dba Daymer Corporation and represented by Tim Losa of Zehren & Associates, is
proposing a major amendment to Special Development District No.6, Vail Village Inn. The major amendment is
intended to facilitate the deinolition and redevelopment of Phase N, Vail Village Inn.
The applicant is proposing to construct the Vail Plaza Hotel. The Vail Plaza Hotel is intended to be a new major
hotel in the Vail Village Commercial area of the Town of Vail. The hotel is to be comprised of 97 hotel rooms, 40
interval ownership units, and one condominium. In addition to the residential uses proposed, the hotel is also
proposed to include two restaurants, spa/health club facilities, a conference and meeting area and a limited amount
of accessory retail/commercial space. The main guest entrance to the hotel will be on the west side of the building
from Vail Road. A loading/delivery area will be provided on the north side of the building with vehicular access
from the South Frontage Road. Guest parking for the hotel is to be provided in an underground parking structure.
Vehicular access to the structure will be from Vail Road. The underground parking structure provides two levels of
parking to accommodate 214 cars.
A more detailed summary of the proposal is attached for reference.
M. BACKGROUND
• In 1976, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 7, Series 1976, establishing Special Development
Disuicts No. 6, Vail Village Inn, to ensure the unified and coordinated development of a critical site to the
Town of Vail, as a whole, and in a manner suitable for the azea in which it is situated.
4ML
raw~v oF 1
~
• In 1985, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 1, Series 1985, providing certain amendments to the
approved development plan for Special Development District No. 6. (eliminate distance between building
requirements, increase in height, amend the allowable uses, increase density)
• In 1987, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No.14, Series 1987, which amended and modified
Section 8 relating to the allowed density of the development plan for Special Development District No. 6.
(increase density)
• In 1992, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 2, Series 1992, allowing for modifications and
amendments to various sections of Special Development District No. 6 which related directly to Phase N,
and which made certain changes to the approved development plan for Special Development District No. 6 ; .
as they relate to Phase N. (architectural elevation changes, modifications to the 4`h floor plans) -
• In 1998, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 24, Series 1998, providing certain amendments to
the approved development plan for Special Development District No. 6.
According to the ordinance which originally established Special Development District No. 6, the underlying zoning
for the District is Public Accommodation. The purpose of the District is to provide additional areas in Town for
mixed use development. The District has resulted in a substantial increase in allowable density on the site of the
Vail Village Inn. When originally considering deviations from the underlying zoning in 1976, the Town Council
found that such deviations were acceptable as the community was to realize a substantial increase in the hotel bed
base. An increase in short-term accommodations has been a long standing objective of the community.
On January 26, 1999, the applicant appeared before the Vail Town Council for a worksession to discuss the
proposed major amendment. Upon discussion of the proposal, the Town Council directed the applicant to revise the
plans to address several major concems. The Council's major concems included the height of the hotel, guest
access to the hotel and the proposed loading and delivery area. More specifically, the Council believed that the hotel
was too tall and that the overall height needed to be reduced, that the guest entrance to the hotel from the South
Frontage Road created traffic congestion resulting in a potentially dangerous situation and that instead the entrance
should be taken from Vail Road, and that the loading and delivery area as designed was detrimental to the "front
door" to Vail.

e. Stamped and addressed envelopes of all adjoining property owners
f. Preliminary Uniform Building Code Compliance Report
g. Drainage Plan
h. Off-site Improvement Plan
The Town of Vail Public Works Department has completed a preliminary review of the hotel proposal. A
copy of their report has been attached for reference. The issues and concems raised in that report shall be
addressed by the applicant in the development review process.
Each of the above described submittal materials shall be provided to the Town of Vail by no later than the
end of the business day on September 7, 1999 in order for the application to be scheduled for a worksession
with the Planning & Environmental Commission. Failure to submit the required materials will result in a
delay in the development review process.
The tentative schedule for the continued review of the Vail Plaza Hotel application includes a worksession
with the Planning & Environmental Commission on Monday, September 27 and a conceptual review with
Design Review Board on Wednesday, October 6, 1999. Additional meetings will be scheduled as
necessary. The Town Council will be provided with progress reports during the regularly scheduled
PEC/DRB reports.
2. Compliance with Town of Vail Master Plan and other relevant documents
When considering proposals for redevelopment, the staff relies upon the Town's vazious master plans and
other relevant documents for guidance and direction. Staff anticipates that we will again be reviewing the
Town's master plan documents and analyzing the applicant's proposal for compliance with the plans. The
following plans will be reviewed:
• Vail Village Master Plan
• Zoning Regulations
• Vail Land Use Plan
5
.
~
• Streetscape Master Plan
• Vail Transportation Master Plan
• Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan
3. Bulk, Mass and Scale.
In preliminary discussions about the.proposed hotel redevelopment, much has been said about the bulk,
mass and scale of the project. There is no doubt that, if approved in its present configuration, the Vail
Plaza Hotel will be one of the larger buildings in the Town of Vail. Due to the location of the building and
the scale of the project, the staff has employed the services of Jeff Winston, of Winston & Associates, Inc.,
in Boulder, Co. Jeff Winston has served as the Town's Urban Design Consultant for many of the more , significant projects in Town. Jeff Winston will be present at the joint worksession meeting on Tuesday, ,
August 24, 1999 to present the fmdings of his preliminary analysis. - At this time, based upon the information provided to date, staffwould recommend the Design Review
Board, the Commission and the Council provide the staff and the applicant with any direction they may
have relative to the bulk, mass and scale of the project (i.e., is a 6-story building appropriate in this
location?, is the design of the building compatible with the surrounding environment?, does the building fit
in with the context of the area and the character of Vail?, etc.) Please recognize that a more in depth review
of the application will be completed prior to future hearings.
4. Emplovee HousinQ Requirements
• The Town has historically required developers of Special Development Districts to provide employee
. housing within the community. Typically, the Town has identified the incremental increase in employees
generated as a result of the new deuelopment and then required the developer to provide deed-restricted
housing for a percentage of the new employees. In this instance, the developer has indicated a desire to
provide deed-restricted housing. At this point however, it is unclear as to how the Town will determine the
housing need and where the housing should be provided. The determination of the housing need and its
location will become clearer once the Employee Generation Report is provided to the Town of Vail.
Staff would recommend that the Commission and the Council provide the staff and the applicant with
direction on the issue of employee housing (i.e., how shall the need be detemuned?, what type of units shall
be provided?, should the units be new construction or should deed restrictions be placed on existing units?,
where shall the units be provided; in town vs. down valley?, what shall be the time frame for providing ihe
uruts?, public/private partnerships?, etc.)
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As this is a joint worksession only, staff will not be providing a formal recommendation at this time. Staff is
requesttng that the Design Review Board, the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council listen
to the applicant's presentation of the redevelopment proposal and provide staff with any direction the Boards may
have regarding the proposed SDD amendment and the proposed development review process. Staff is most
interested in having the Boards identify any "red flag" (i.e. height, density, traffic, mix of uses, etc.) issues which the
Boards would like the applicant and staff to address during the development review process. Staff will continually
provide opportunities for interested parties to comment on the proposal.

To: George Ruther
From: Greg Hall Date: August 19, 1999 Subject: Vail Plaza Hotel
I have reviewed the latest submittal of the Vail Plaza Hotel and have the following
comments that will need to be addressed:
1. The loading and delivery scheme will need to address the vehicles we had previously
stated which included placement of the following AASHTO design vehicles, l,
WB65 semi off of the travel way, the ability to park 2, WB-50 semis and 3, SU-30
single unit trucks. Three of these will need to be accommodated for the hotel and 2
for the remainder of the special development district. In addition, the trash system
will need to be identified and its operation shown independently of the loading and
delivery operation. The previous underground tunnel to the other phases of the plan
has been removed. It should be reinstated.
2. The site must be able to handle the use of 40' over-the-road passenger coaches.
3. The drive ramps of the parking structure in one-way operation need to meet minimum
width of 12' and at the turns a greater width is required to accommodate turning radii.
A more detailed review of the parking structure and all the turning radii will be
required.
4. Provide the site improvements discussed previously and show these on the plan.
Curb, gutter and walk to Crossroads, including street lights, improvements to the bus
stop and East Meadow Drive, a landscaped median to the frontage road, etc.
5. The parallel roadway scheme is inconsistent with the adjacent improvements of the
frontage road.. It creates a hole and additional asphalt in an area where the goal is to
lessen the visual affect of asphalt, not to increase it. This will need to reviewed more
to determine the affects of the frontage road and roundabout operations. How will we
ensure one way operation? Left turns out may be prohibited. It will need to approved
by the state DOT for an access permit
6. This development will need to address the off site roadway impacts that have been
applied to new approvals in the Lionshead area this equates to approximately $3788
for each additional unit, the town has then paid 20% of this fee. The Conference area
and Spa will require additional payment, but it is not known at this time. Some of the
offsite improvements may be credited against this dollar amount ( the landscape
median beyond the site, and depending on how employee traffic numbers and parking
spaces are provided or not the sidewalk to Village Center Chute).
7. Drainage improvements as have been previousiy required and a detail review of the
grading plan. .
8. The close proximity of the west exit driveway to the driveway of the Gateway
Building is an issue to be studied.
9. The impacts during construction. ,
10. The shading of the walks and the need to heat the walks and drives will need to be
reviewed. 11. The requirement to provide the access to the condos to the east drives a lot of this
design. It appears that they have access and providing them access but not
convenient access does it meet their requirements?

Mr. Todd Rymer
Johnson & Wales University
616 W. Lionshead Circle, Suite 101
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Todd:
On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I wanted to put in writing what we perceive to be the value
of continuing the Johnson & Wales training program in the Town of Vail. It is our understanding
this seven year program has added immense value to the overall character and business attitude
that supports this community. Because we are a tourist-reliant community, a program such as
Johnson & Wales adds incredibly to both our employee population as well as the high caliber food
service industry standard that is so important to Vail. The Vail Town Council believes it would
be very unfortunate to lose the program that trains between 30 to 40 graduates per year in the
culinary industry.
Therefore, if there is anything we can do to insure the longevity of the Johnson & Wales
University program within the Town of Vail, please call on us to come forward to speak on its
behalf. There are the collective thoughts of the Vail Town Council and this community at large.
Sincerely, _

Work Session Briefs _
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Kurz, Navas
--Pine Beetle Update by U.S. Forest Service
The Council heard an update from representatives of the U.S. Forest Service and the Colorado
State Forest Service on the mountain pine beetle infestation. While crews have been working to
minimize additional infestation in targeted areas in and around the Town of Vail, officials said the
infestation of lodgepole and ponderosa pines is expected to continue for another 4 to 5 years.
The number of infested trees in Eagle County has doubled each year for the last 3 years, they
said.
--Vail Valley Marketing Board Summer 2000 Presentation
The Council heard a presentation from the Vail Valley Marketing Board regarding two funding
scenarios for next year's Vail-focused program. One is a$2 million spending plan, assuming
passage of a 1.4 percent lodging tax on the Nov. 2 ballot. The other is a$1 million spending
plan, assuming the lodging tax is unsuccessful and other funding partners are willing to contribute. The Marketing Board representatives, who serve voluntarily (and would not return
next year because of new board membership constraints if the lodging tax passes), suggested
continued emphasis within 5 program areas: destination visitors; front range; groups &
marketing; public relations; and Internet. Board Chairman Ross Boyle said several decisions will
need to be made by Council prior ta the election. They inctude: a$100,000 front-end -
contribution that would cover the production cost of the Summer Guide; additional dollars for a
contract for Internet services, print advertising production as well as production of the summer
press kit. In addition, Boyle said the Council would need to decide what central reservations
number to use in the advertising, as the current campaign rotates two numbers--one for the Vail
Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, the other for Vail Resorts, Inc. Councilmembers will
review the recommendations in more detail during an upcoming budget discussion on Sept. 14.
--Discussion of Art Component within Ford Park Playground Project
The Council voted 6-0 to add an art component to the Ford Park playground renovation project.
This, after an earlier review by Council resulted in a request for additional information. As
approved, the Council agreed to incorporate two carved boulder ptarmigan birds created by
artist Robert Tully to be used as a climbing apparatus at a cost of $28,800. The Council has
authorized a project budget of $250,000 for the playground renovation. Construction will start in

. September with project completion in July. Also yesterday, at the suggestion of Sybill Navas,
town staff will explore the possibility of installing a basketball court at the former Booth Falls
tennis court location in partnership with the Vail Recreation District.
--Design of Arosa/Garmisch Park
The Council vo#ed 6-0 to approve the final concept plan for the new, yet-to-be-named West Vail
neighborhood park at the intersection of Arosa-Garmisch. The park, along with six for-sale
employee housing units on adjacent town-owned property, is the first project to be developed
under the Common Ground citizen involvement planning process. The park has been designed
by Todd Oppenheimer, Vail's landscape architect, based on suggestions from the neighborhood.
It will feature a large turF area, plus a picnic pavilion, clustered play areas for tots arrd older : children, off street parking for 4 vehicles, a handicap parking space and a unisex restroom which
will be tucked into the hillside. The remainder of the park will be open space with native
grasses. Construction costs are estimated at $360,000. During Council's review, Ludwig Kurz
said the project shows the positive impacts that can be gained by moving forward on open space
and housing initiatives. Bob Armour agreed and asked for consideration of a redesign of the
Arosa-Garmisch intersection to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety. For more information,
contact Oppenheimer at 479-2161.
--Discussion of Newsrack Codification
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council received an ordinance outlining a
. comprehensive publication distribution system on town right-of-way and private property within
Vail Village and Lionshead. The action, which consolidates newsracks to specified locations,
caps more than two years of active discussions between the town and representatives from 21
publications. For details, see evening meeting briefs.
--Information Update
Councilmembers were 'invited to attend the town's annual staff picnic from 3 to 6 p.m. Aug. 27 at
Ford Park.
--Council Reports
Bob Armour reported on a recent meeting of the Colorado Association of Ski Towns in Crested
Butte, which featured a discussion on land exchange programs with the U.S. Forest Service.
Special guests included a delegation from Park City, Utah; which hosts a citizen leadership
program.
--Other
In response to several constituent concerns, Michael Arnett inquired about the status of
replacing landscape on private property that was damaged during the Lionsridge Loop street
reconstruction project. Also, Arraett forwarded complaints about the intensity of new street lights
in the town. Public Works Director Greg Hall said the damaged landscape would be replaced
and that crews would be experimenting soon with a prototype street light fixture that could
minimize impacts to adjacent property owners.
In addition, Arnett suggested adding signs to two handicap parking spaces at the Vail Commons
development.

Bob Armour inquired about the status of applying an earlier contribution by the Dancing Bear to
the West Vail roundabout construction. A bench has been purchased with the $1,000-plus
contribution and will be installed soon.
Sybill Navas indicated she was unable to attend the next Chamber of Commerce board meeting
and asked if someone would fill in for her. Also, as a follow-up to Bob Armour's report on the
Park City delegation, Navas suggested the need for the Vail Town Council (after November's
election) to consider organizing a similar delegation that would visit other resort areas to bring
back useful ideas. Ludwig Kurz strongly agreed. .
Kevin Foley acknowledged receipt of a mailing on the upcoming WestFest event and 'noted the, " Labor Day weekend event should draw lots of crowds. Foley also complimented progress on
the North Frontage Road bike path and the Lionsridge Loop street project. In addition, Foley
inquired about weed control along the Frontage Road.
--Executive Session (Berry Creek 5th Filing Sales Negotiations)
Evening Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Navas
--Citizen Participation
The Council heard from Merv Lapin, chairman of the Vail Valley Exchange, who provided an
overview of the organization's trainee exchange program with its sister city in Mt. Buller,
Australia. Lapin said over 150 Australians are interested in coming to the Vail Valley to work
during the ski season. Recruiters from the Town of Vail are wrapping up a trip there in search of seasonal bus drivers, he said. The trainee program provides direct tax benefits to both the
employer and the employee, including exemptions from federal and state taxes. Lapin
encouraged businesses throughout the valley to contact the Vail Valley Exchange to find out
how they can benefit from the program. Also yesterday, Lapin introduced Jeanie and Graham Nicholas who are visiting Vail from the Mt. Buller area. Graham Nicholas touted the exchange
program as a win-win situation for both areas. In addition, Lapin, the latest bidder for the Berry
Creek Fifth Filing property, asked Council to schedule a work session on the topic.
Next, Eric Baumann approached the Council and inquired about the status of his ongoing
request for assistance in modifying the town's vending regulations. Baumann has asked for
permission to 'operate an almond roasting stand in Vail Village. A proposal submitted by
Baumann will be reviewed by the Community Development Department.
Also speaking yesterday was Kaye Ferry, representing the Vail Village Merchant Association.
Ferry said it was important for the town to clarify what activities are allowed in front of the Vail
Village businesses. Because merchants question the organization on a regular basis, she said it
would be helpful for the town to outline the types and circumstances of such uses.
--Newsrack Codification I
The Council voted 5-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance that creates a mechanism for the
uniform distribution of newsrack publications on public and private property in Vail Village and
Lionshead. During the public comment period, local publisher Bob Brown explained how the
publishing community has worked jointly with the town, with both entities having a mutual

understanding of the goals. Brown said he was comfortable with the ordinance, although he
noted some of the smaller publications could be negatively impacted by a$65 per space cost-
recovery fee. Michael Cacioppo, a former Vail Town Councilmember, also spoke. Cacioppo
challenged the town's ability to control the newsracks and suggested a referendum is in order to
overturn the action, citing violations of free speech. Diana Donovan, a former member of the
Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC), spoke in favor of.the regulations, noting the
PEC had sought such controls for many years. According to Town Attorney Tom Moorhead,
courts have consistently allowed such newsrack regulation provisions, so long as the regulations
are content-neutral. For more information, contact Moorhead at 479-2107.
--WestFest Special Events Ordinance . On the advice of town staff, the Council voted 5-0 to table second reading of this ordinance
indefinitely. The ordinance addresses signs, temporary improvements and other items
associated with a large-scale event. However, Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said
the ordinance may not be necessary because requests, to date, are being handled under
existing regulations. That doesn't diminish the size and scope of the WestFest event, she said.
More than 5000 people per day are expected to attend the Labor Day weekend activity in its first
year in Vail, although past gate attendance records from Copper Mountain showed daily crowds
of 10,000 - 18,000. If successful, Vail will become the WestFest venue for a 10 year run. For
more information, contact Brandmeyer at 479-2113.

The Lodge at LionSHead il~
Date: August 2, 1999
_ To: Vail Town Council
From: Lodge at Lionshead _
Re: Cominunity Facilities Proposals.
Dear Town Council,
Three proposals were presented at your July 6, 1999 Council meeting concerning
upgrading Vail. You and your staff encouraged affected owners to comment.. We are
forwarding this presentation for the Lodge at Lionshead:
1. We believe the three consultant proposals were too ambitious in seeking to create a "New Vail" Town Center at the Library-Dobson-Charter Bus Lot location.
2. We would oppose the creation of any jurisdiction (Urban Renewal Authority) with
the power of condemnation, creation of debt without the approval of Town of Vail
voters.
3. We would favor the development of ttie wetlands, south of Gore Creek, as a nature
preserve, including an additional bridge(behind the library) and an elevated
boardwalk (including a fishing/viewing platform) leading to the existinb bridge
downstream. This would restrict present misuse of the wetlands area.
4. We would favor the development of a tram/trolley system from the Covered Bridge to
E. Lionshead Cr. This to stimulate interest and to eliminate the present bus route.
5. Further developinent of the Librarv would be an asset.
6. Further development of Dobson Ice arena in conjunction with a Civic Center on the
Charler Bus lot would be an asset.
7. We would oppose any Civic Center proposal that.would materially change our
neighborhood in terms of noise, traffic, appearance etc. Some of the recreational
suggestions appear to be in this category ( especially if outside).
8. We have no problem with adding a deck to the Parking Structure for additional
parking, permanent condominiums etc.
9. We would welcome an upgrade of the "Subway" area of the Parking Structure. The
Council developed and approved the Lionshead Master Plan. It is time for the Town
to do their part in implementing the plan.
10. We strongly favor the "incremental" approach to financing the proposals -"pay as
you go" - as opposed to a massive bond issue etc.
Professionally Managed by Peak Resort Services, Inc. '
380 East Lionshead Circle Vail, Colorado 81657 (970).476-2700
11. We are strongly opposed to creating any "Seasonal Housing" or retail shops along the
south side of the Parking Structure. This would materially change our neighborhood,
which the Lionshead Master Plan protects. Seasonal housing and a Civic Center are
not compatible. There are more appropriate locarions for "seasonal housing" like the _
Bell Tower area, Vail Golf course Clubhouse, the Lionshead Maintenance area, lower
bench of Donovan Park, west side of Cascade parking and perhaps the north side of
the Lionshead Parking Struchue
12. We would oppose any condemnation proceedings in regard to our property, or any
destruction of our trees, landscaping etc.
13. Of great concern to us is the planning and execurion of construction on East
Lionshead Cr. that would create noise, dust, dirt, congestion, road blockage, problems
for our parking etc. We would want Town of Vail assurance that we will be inclucled
in the planning and implementation of construction. Our owners and guests are very
concerned about this issue.
Our Association is in support of the Lionshead Master Plan and the creation of
Community Facilities and Civic Center proposals, limited by the preceding 13 items. We
agree that Vail needs to polish its identity and create amenities to enhance participation
by locals and guests.
We would hope that continued communication between the Town of Vail Staff, Council
and the Lodge at Lionshead would be encouraged.
Sincerely,
Jim Miller .

RED SK'Y' RANCH P.U.D. SUBMITT'EY ) TO EAGLE COYINTY
~
AVON, Colarado -16 Auguet 1999 -Vail Resorts Developntkmt Company last week submitted to the
Eagle County Department of Community Development its pla i for a high-quality, low-density golf and
resxdential neighboriiood, to be located one mile south of Wol(Att on HeIlyache Ridge Road. The proposed
new area, lrnown as Red Sky Rancb, 'uvill follow ttxe znodel set by the premier mountain resort coxnmunities
of Beaver Creek, Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch - where Vai Reaorts Aevelopment Company has also
served as the mastez developer.
In October 1998, Eagle Cotutty grattted a Special Use Permit b) Vail Resorts Development Company for
the construction of a golf course on 425 acres of land located j-'1st south of Wolcott. Tn tbe submitted plan,
the Platmed Unit Development (PUD) application covers a tor.l of approximately 780 acres that Vail
Resorts Development Company owns south of Wolcott, including the original 425-acre parcel_
The PUD submission includes a plan for two golf courses, eacl i with its own clubhovse, and 87 estate home
sites ranging in size from 1 acxe to over 10 acres. Yf the seconc. golf course were approved, approximately
one-half of the combined capacity for the golf cowrses would b e reserved for resort play and onc-half for
pri'va,te rnembership pl ay. The PUD submission also proposes that the golf couxses aould be available on a
complimentary basis for a total of four charity benefit golf eva rts duzing the shouider seasons. Provisions
are $lso being made for sorne public play on the first course as required by the original Special Use Permit.
According to Jim Thampson, president and CEO of'Vail Resozts Development Company, these golf
cvux9es will be good for both Vail Resorts and Eagle County's business. "Golf has become an extremely
ibnportant factor in the summec tourism business across the coL nhy and within Eagle County," Thompson
said. "Vail Ytesorte has a substantial investment in the wiiiter r:creation amenities in the cownty but has
only paztial use of ttle Heaver CYeek Golf Couxse to scrve the s unrnertime destination guests and residents
of'Vai7 Reeorts' propcrties." 'V'ail Resorts, the Beaver Creek C,ub and the Hyatt Hotel cturently share the
existing cout'se in Beaver Creek.
Thompson continued, "In order to adequately serve the summe; guest, Vail Resorts wanted to provide
additional access to golf for the guests and zesidents of'Vail Re,orts' lodging and residential properties.
The Red Sky Ramch golf courses, when complete, willlxelp safi sfy the demand for resort golt' play. These
courses axe a strategic investme;nt to support and round out our ski company amenities offered to our
guests." The ripple effect of the construction of these two galf courses for use by guests of Vai1 Resorts'
pTOperties will be that other public tee tixnes would open up at i rm public galf courses due to the additional
golf availability.

The two goaf courses will be designed by two well-known figues in the world of golf: The first course is
an 18-hole championship golf course and learning facility des igned by Tozn Fazio of Fa.zio Golf Course
Aesigners Tnc. Tom Fazio is considered one of the premicr go lf course arehitects ia the world_ The golf
course is plazmed to be an 18 hole, par 721ayout with the fron t and back nunes returning to a centrally
located clubhouse site. Construction on the first course is plai med to begin in the spring of 2000 with
completion scheduled for summer of 2002.
Greg Norman, world-renowned professional golfer, will design the proposed second golf course, which is
adjacent to thc Fazio-designed course. It would aiso be an 18-hole championship course with a centraily
located clubhouse. Construction on the second course is prop)sed to begin in the spring of 200 1, if EagIe
Coutaty approval is received, with completion scheduled for stanmer of 2003.
Both Fazio and Norman individuaily harre made several visite to the proposed golf course sites to
famriiIistize themselves with the terrain and to refine tlaeir preli Tiinary course layouts and routang plans. Yn
the process of routing both golf courses, many aspects were cc nsidered to maintain the nahual features of
the site. The goal was to harre site aensitive golf courses that I ie naturaIIy within the site and use native
features and vegetation. According to Mark Thorne, vice pres ident of development for Red Sky Ranch,
"The topography of Ited Sky Ranch is very rolling with a tradi tional western appeal. There's a lot of
sagebrush, juniper, aspen and scrub oak. We've tried very har I in the design and planning to preserve that
character."
The proposed architectural style for residences and structures :.t Red Sky Ranch would ;Follow this western
theme to create very low scate atid Iow density groupings of bi Lildings. "$y keeping the buildings low
profile and hugging them to the land in a tzue `ranch honne' sty ie, the effect wn11 be to minimize their
appearance," said T'horne. "It's wrnnderful that when you're oi i site at Red Sky Ranch, you really can't see

only 87 home sites, lots of natural open space and easy access - :o premier golf and skiing amenities will
make Red Sky Ranch a sought-after eommunity."
It is planned that approximately 70% of the 780-acre eite wouL 1 remain as open space. Any areas disttubed
through construction adjacent to the courses will be revegetateif to xnatch the terrain following course
eonstruction and homes wiil be strietly limited to a designated milding enve]ope. A sigm„ifcant wilclIife

VAIL BUILDING CODE EFFICIENCIES COULD HELP LOWER
INSURANCE RATES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
(Vail)--New building owners could be paying less for insurance in Vail, thanks to a new rating
recently issued by the Insurance Services Office (ISO), a national assessment service. ISO
evaluators recently surveyed the Town of Vail Building Safety and Inspection Services Division,
issuing a rating of "3" on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest.
The ISO survey is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a jurisdiction's building codes and
other tools that can mitigate losses from natural hazards, such as wind, snow, floods and
wildland fires, as well as other internal hazards to buildings, such as fires and explosions.
Vail was evaluated by the ISO last month at the invitation of Chief Building Official Gary
Goodell. Of the over 150 Colorado jurisdictions surveyed to date, only one other municipality,
Broomfield, received a higher rating than Vail.
The ISO process includes completion and analysis of an extensive questionnaire and an on-
site interview. Evaluators consider the number of staff compared to the amount of construction
activity, the technical qualifications and experience of the staff, as well as the training programs
and other professional development activities available to the staff.
Goodell says several improvements within the town contributed to Vail's high rating. They
include adopting the most current nationally recognized building codes, obtaining three
additional technical certifications, and adding an additional staff person to the building safety

division. Overall, the division has 4 full-time staff members and 2 part-time employees. In 1998,
the division reviewed and issued more than a thousand permits and performed over 4,600
inspections in Vail.
"We're pleased this rating can be passed on to our property owners for potential insurance
savings, Goodell said. "And we're committed to making more improvements that will earn this
division the elusive "2" rating in the future."
The insurance industry, which also uses ISO's fire department and floodplain management
ratings, introduced the nationwide building department assessment process in 1992 in response
to the major catastrophic losses caused by Hurricane Andrew, the Oakland Hills, Calif., wildland
fires and other disasters.
Underwriters will now be supplied with all three ratings to use as tools for determining Vail
insurance rates, according to Goodell. Ratings will be updated by the ISO every five years or
during off years at the town's request.
