Piet Pieters, VRD ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or disapprove of the recommended uses and design team. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town Council and VRD initiated a public process in February of 1999 to implement the community facility needs identified in the Vail Tomorrow process. A list of uses was approved by both the Town Council and VRD to be reviewed in a design charette, which occurred in June of 1999. Three design teams presented ideas on how to site these uses in the Town of Vail. At this time staff and the Community Facilities Team is recommending to explore siting a learning center (teleconferencing facility & internet connections), 2nd sheet of ice, family center, and a event facility with performing arts on the Lionshead hub site. The Team is further recommending that the Blue Team (EDAW, HGA, and Zehren) be chosen as the design team to carry these uses forward. No private lands are bring recommended for use. The Team is further recommending that a market analysis be completed on these uses. Other community uses compatible with a park will be recommended for the lower bench of Donovan Park area for facilities, park area, open space and housing. The team is recommending that a separate design team be engaged through an RFP process to master plan Donovan Park.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the appropriation of the requested funds to support the next steps in the community facility process as mentioned above. 4. Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1999, an Ordinance Amending Title 12, Dominic Mauriello Zoning Regulations, by Adding a New Zone District as Chapter 9D: Affordable Housing District and Providing For Special Provisions. (30 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/Deny/Modify Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1999 on first reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On June 15, 1999 the Community Development Department presented to the Town Council a proposal to create a new Affordable Housing zone district, which would be a district similar to the GU zone district in that the development standards would be prescribed by the PEC. The PEC reviewed the proposal at a work session on August 23, 1999 and gave the general direction that the new district was needed. One PEC member suggested that the district depart from the General Use district format and have specific development standards created. Staff has drafted a proposal for a new zone district targeted at employee housing. The proposal would be to establish a zone district that could be applied to properties ensuring that once developed, they remain as employee housing in perpetuity. This could be applied to existing projects (i.e., Red Sandstone) as well as future projects (i.e., Mt. Bell site). The proposed district was modeled after the General Use zone district which lists all uses as conditional uses and requiring the PEC to set the development standards for the project. The proposal deviates slightly from the GU district format by establishing setback requirements (20'), a site coverage limitation (55%), and a landscape area minimum (30%), which are consistent with the High Density Multiple zone district. All projects would be subject to review and approval through a PEC review process. Additionally, free-market dwelling units have been added as a conditional use in the zone district subject to criteria. The criteria include provisions that free-market units are provided only to help subsidize the creation of employee housing units, that they are secondary to the employee housing, and that they are developed in conjunction with employee housing. The proposed code section is attached. RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department recommends approval Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1999 on first reading. 5. Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1999, second reading of an Ordinance Bob Fritch Creating the Vail Local Marketing District. (10 mins.)

We began organizing the Vail Community Chamber earlier this summer in order to accomplish a number of objectives that are not currently being met by any organization in existence. Primarily, there is a concern among Town of Vail business owners that for, at least the past decade, Vail has had no voice of its own for marketing. This loss of identity in the perception of the buying public has, we believe, been a significant factor in the recent slowing of business, which will slow further if not addressed now. Secondly, it is widely perceived that for Vail to regain its competativeness, we must mitigate the infighting that has been going on for years - think of the number of organizations that the Council and the Town staff have to address to get anything done! Small towns with big budgets are typically this way, and we do not think that the Vail Community Chamber will silence this altogether. However, proper representation of the entire business sector, be those businesses in the Village, Lionshead, Bighorn or West Vail (to mention a few) can only be of benefit to the Town and the Community. Each business neighborhood has distinctive characteristics and needs. The goal of the Vail Community Chamber is to address those needs in a way that is productive and beneficial to all concerned Simply put - united we stand, divided we fall. Thirdly, there is currently no clearinghouse for information that could be useful for existing businesses or businesses that might be interested in moving to Vail. Many of you have recently visited Carmel, California to learn how that city maintains its retail mix. We envision the Vail Community Chamber becoming an organization that is strong enough to seek out businesses that would improve our mix. Further, we have just put together a workmen compensation insurance program that will save some of our members up to twenty percent. We a planning many more programs such as this which, besides putting more money in the pockets of local business owners (where it belongs) will encourage them to invest more in improving their businesses. Finally, any business owner and in Vail, the Community as a whole, succeeds or fails on the backs of its employees. The Turn It Up Vail program has, by all accounts, been a resounding success. But what happen the rest of the year? The second word in the name of our organization is "Community." We seek to build our Community further by providing a conduit for constant communication throughout the community, and encouraging participation and ownership from that vital of sector of our Community, the employee. The Vail Community Chamber seeks to do these things without duplicating the services that are already being addressed by private or public sector, and without creating an unwieldy organization. We believe this will keep administrative costs to a minimum, thus providing a greater return to the Community. Further, by staying small and light on our feet, we can respond more quickly to issues that must be addressed. This philosophy and the goals outlined above, have caused the Vail Community Chamber to become, in a few short months, the largest membership-supported organization in the Town of Vail! We hope you will join your constituents in supporting what they believe is a vital component to the Town of Vail's future success.

Ludwig Kurz, Pro-Tem ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk 6 VadMountat*nScfioo( September 21, 1999 Ms. Sybill Navas 183 Gore Creek Drive Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Sybill: I read with great interest the September 15 mailing from Vail Tomorrow and the recent newspaper articles about this evening's Vail Town Council meeting. The list of possible community venues stemming from the Vail Tomorrow effort is cause for optimism. Vail is less viewed as a community of families these days perhaps because of the number of absentee home owners and the tremendous growth west of Dowd Junction; that may also be why Vail parents have begun to look west for opportunities for their children. The ideas you will review this evening are appropriate for this community, which is still young in spirit and a welcoming place. Perhaps it is time for Vail to become a destination--through gymnastics classes, bowling leagues, swimming lessons, community meeting space, and live theatre presentation--for families, young children and adolescents looking for wholesome and popular pastimes. If, through stewardship of the Town Council, realization of these good ideas is the outcome of the Vail Tomorrow process, then I believe it has been time, and money, well spent. Si rely, Peter M. Abuisi Headmaster PMA/ty 3160 KATSOS RANCH ROAD • VAIL, COLORADO 81657 • 970-476-3850 • FAX 970-476-3860 To: Vail Town Council From: Russ Forrest Date: September 21, 1999 Subject Community Facility Team Recommendation 1. PURPOSE The purpose of September 215` evening Council meeting on community facilities is to recommend to the Town Council: 1) What Community facility uses and sites should be considered further, and 2) What design team should be used for the hub site to continue the design process. In developing this recommendation, the Community Facilities Team that includes business leaders, active residents in the Vail tomorrow process, Vail Resorts Executives, performing arts representatives, recreational enthusiasts, lodge managers, event planners, considered the input of many people that participated in the community facilities process over the summer. A major theme, related to the hub site uses in Lionshead, focuses on the need to create a community cross roads and an environment for learning, education, and the arts that compliments our Mountain environment. 2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The objectives of this project as identified by the Town Council include: 1) The facilities plan will build upon the community facility ideas and lands that have been identified through the Vail Tomorrow, Common Ground, Lionshead master plan, and other community processes. 2) The facilities programming will complement both recreational (e.g., skiing and mountain sports) and cultural (e.g., art, performing arts) amenities that exist in the Vail Valley so as to create a world class network of community facilities in the Valley. 3) The facilities shall be outstanding in their design and programming. Potential residents and guests would be drawn to Vail because of them. These should be unique facilities. 4) The facilities will serve both Vail Valley residents and guests. 5) Public-private partnerships will be pursued to finance the development of the facilities. 3. BACKGROUND The Town Council and VRD initiated a public process in February of 1999 to implement the Vail Tomorrow community facility needs. A list of uses was approved by both the Town Council and VRD that were used in the design charette, which occurred in June of 1999. Three design teams presented ideas on how to site these uses, in the Town of Vail. One of the objectives of this project was to identify ways to obtain private funding for facilities. For this reason Integrated Sports International (ISI) was obtained to help assist with the acquisition of corporate funding. In addition a group of local residents have met with Town staff to discuss creating a grass roots effort to obtain local funding support for a performing arts use. At this point, staff has met with the Lodge at Lionshead homeowners, Lionshead Merchants, BRAVO, Vail Valley Foundation, VVTCB, individual Vail Village Merchants, and other interested groups to solicit their input on the process. 4. RECOMENDED USES AND SITES At this point in the process staff and the community facility team are making the following recommendations on next steps that are described in the table below. Recommended Uses, Sites, and Need Use Site Needs Addressed Strategy for Implementation Hub Site Uses Learning Center Library a Lack of internet ISI has indicated that this (Teleconferencing connection in Library would be a use that could meetings, additional • No established internet have strong sponsorship internet connections, conferencing capability opportunities.

RECOMMENDED DESIGN TEAM In March of 1999 a Request for Qualification was issued for design teams to participate in a design charette for the Town of Vail & VRD Community Facilities Charette. One of the major purposes of the Charette was to choose the top design team to move forward with the design process. Three teams were selected for the June Charette after an intensive interview process. Those teams included: 5 Blue Team EDAW Zehren & Associates, Hammel, Green & Abrahamson Red Team Otis Architecture Sasaki Associates Design Workshop Green Team IQ Magic Orne & Associates OZ Architecture The Community Facilities Team recommendation is to move forward on the hub site design with the Blue Team. This team is recommended for the following reasons: • Each idea generated by each team in the charette was ranked on a scale of 1-100 based on the design criteria identified in the instructions for the charette. The Blue Team had the highest ranked ideas among the three teams. • The Blue Team has had excellent experience in designing performing arts facilities, conference facilities, learning institutions, and other public amenities. • The Blue Team has the right level of creativity and ability to effectively design and build facilities to be successful in the Vail Valley. Jack Zehren is very familiar with Vail design guidelines while HGA and EDAW bring significant experience in public process, acoustics, event center and performing arts facility,planning. Attached is a description of the qualifications of all three teams. 6. SUMMARY OF RECOMENDATION Resources have been proposed as part of the Town Managers proposed 2000 budget to continue the design process. Some of this money that is being proposed, would need to be used in 1999 if Council would like to move forward with this process in 1999. Town staff and the Community Facilities Team is requesting, that Council support the recommended next steps in the Community Facilities process which include: Hub Site (Dobson, Library, RV Parking Lot, South Side of Parking Structure) • Complete a market analysis of the recommended uses, (2nd Sheet of Ice, learning center, family center, and event center with a performing arts function) on the hub site. • Engage the blue team (EDAW, HGA, Zehren) to complete the design process for the hub site. Satellite Uses (Recreation Fields, Youth Center, Multi-use Pavilion, Pool, Gymnastics) 6 • Complete a site plan of Donovan Park to include a Park/Recreation Center, recreation fields and play equipment. • If Council would like to move forward with a housing development on Mt. Bell, the community facilities team,would recommend locating ABC & Learning Tree within the Park Center at Donovan Park, which would provide additional housing opportunities on Mt.

Note: No private lands are recommended to be used as part of this project. 7. BUDGET FOR PROJECT This project has been financial partnership between the Vail Recreation District and the Town of Vail. In moving forward a similar funding partnership is proposed. The following is a break down of proposed costs.

This difference is due to recent information from the VRD on cost sharing for the next phase. The cost sharing is based on the percentage of the uses that have a direct tie to the Vail Recreation District. The VRD contribution to this project is subject to VRD Board approval. Other actions within the RETT budget that are recommended include creating an additional soccer field at Redsandstone for approximately $500,000. In addition, planning may progress so that implementation or partial implementation of the park center and park are possible in the year 2000. In that event, it is recommended that a supplemental budget for RETT be proposed in 2000 when the specific costs are better known. In addition, the 2000 budget, as recommended by the Town manager, currently has a line item for $250,000 for remodeling the Bright Horizons Space. 7 8. WHY MOVE FORWARD ON THESE RECOMMENDATIONS Economic Viability • To regain Vail's position as the premier resort, Vail must provide additional amenities for guests that are increasingly looking for a variety of activities in a resort. • In the 1992 market analysis of an event facility, the consultant concluded that the facility would generate 62,000 additional room nights per year, $5.2 million/year in room sales, $3.62 million/year in food and beverage sales, $1.45 million/year in retail sales. • In a recent study of service employees under 30 a critical issue to these employees was activities that did not involve "drinking." Service employees indicated a strong need to develop the facilities mentioned above. Attracting and keeping service employees is critical to Vail's economy. • Focusing the library and the event facility on learning and education compliments the Vail Community. People have visited Vail and other resort communities to rejuvenate themselves mentally and physically. Learning and education are intertwined with the theme of recreating in the Mountains. Community • Vail is a resort and a community. Through Vail Tomorrow, the Vail Town Council committed to working towards the implementation of the facilities identified in the Vail Tomorrow process. O Vail does have over 218 school-aged children in the Town of Vail. Vail has a significantly higher proportion of young people living in Vail between the ages of 18-30 than any other Town in the County. Recreational amenities are critical for our children and the service employees. • Both the proposed facilities at the hub site and at the satellite sites create gathering points for the community. It has been said that when the post office moved its location from the South Frontage Road, the Vail community cross roads was lost. The proposed uses will create a community cross roads for arts, learning, and recreation. • In November of 1998, a group of entertainment executives were invited to Vail to critically examine the community and the resort. One of their . conclusions is that the creation of community facilities will be a critical asset to both guests and residents and physically shows the critical link between our community and the resort.

The goal of the analysis is to provide recommendations on projects felt to have corporate appeal without providing details as to the potential interest of specific: partners. We have listed where appropriate, examples of corporate involvement in comparable projects in other markets. Our recommendation holds that focus should be placed on the following four projects: 1. Convention Center 2. Performing Arts Center 3. Learning/Media Center 4. Ice Rink Project 1: Convention Center Overview: • We feel this project is the most critical to the success of the Community Hub as a whole and holds the most relevance from a marketing standpoint. Rationale: • It will serve as the "anchor tenant" of the Hub project. Acting as a catalyst to attract visitors to the area, its users will be the core visitors to the surrounding activities. • It will enable larger groups to use Vail as its destination of choice for future meetings and outings. This alleviates past challenges that were faced by groups who wanted to come to Vail but were unable to because of the lack of facilities. • Will drive return visits from individuals that attended group functions. (Convention Center footprint provides optimum build-out site for gymnastics facility) Comparable Properties: Two relevant examples of convention centers who have sold naming rights to corporations: Midwest Express Center (formerly the Wisconsin Center) • Regional Airline with hubs in Milwaukee and Omaha. • Naming rights fee: $9.25 million over 15 years Touchstone Energy Center (formerly the St. Paul Convention Center) • AA national alliance of local, cooperatively owned utilities. • There are over 530 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives in 37 states delivering energy and energy solutions to more than 15 million customers daily. • Anticipating deregulation will hit their regions in two to five years, Touchstone is building brand awareness with consumers in relevant markets • Naming rights fee: $2.5 million over 10 years A COMPANY OP ENTERTAINMENT - 1 COMMUNITY FACILITY USES WITH HIGH SPONSORSHIP VALUE Prepared by Integrated Sports International PROJECT SCOPE: ISI was asked to evaluate the development projects currently under review from a sponsorship perspective.

Comparable Properties: Two relevant examples of convention centers who have sold naming rights to corporations: Midwest Express Center - (formerly the Wisconsin Center) • Regional Airline with hubs in Milwaukee and Omaha. • Naming rights fee: 5925 million over 15 years Touchstone Ener(,,v Center (formerly the St. Paul Convention Center) • A national alliance of local, cooperatively owned utilities. • There are over 530 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives in 37 states delivering energy and energy solutions to more than 15 million customers daily. • Anticipating deregulation will hit their regions in two to five years, Touchstone is building brand awareness with consumers in relevant markets • Naming rights fee: $2.5 million over 10 years 1 Project 1: Convention Center (cont.) Issues: • Total cost of the project • Maintaining full occupancy and usage Conclusion: • The convention center not only provides an attractive sponsorship opportunity, it also provides revenue streams that are not currently available in the Valley. Therefore, it is our recommendation that this project should remain a top priority. Project 2: Performing Arts Center Overview: • A performing arts center in the Valley has great marketing potential and could bring national attention to the region as well. As a strong media draw, a performing arts center would be an ideal property for corporate partners to invest in an artistic and cultural sponsorship. Rationale: • Project already has a high level of community support. • Multi-use facility - local and regional theatre, private functions, group uses, etc. • Likely potential for private funding to offset costs. • Off-season programming used as a vehicle to drive year-round visitors. Comparable Properties: Denver Center for the Performing Art s • Following the critical and financial success of the DCPA, a performing arts center located within the Valley would greatly enhance the cultural impression of the region. • DCPA grew to become the nation's largest not-for-profit performing arts organization outside of New York's Lincoln Center. • In addition to staging theatrical productions, the DCPA also houses a Broadway touring show division, a television/film/audio production facility and a voice research center. For its efforts the DCPA was the recipient of the 1998 Tony Award(R) for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Issues: • The final configuration and seating capacity will ultimately determine the ability to draw regional and national touring shows. Factoring these elements into the planning & design of the center are critical to its success. • Ensuring availability to the local community Conclusion: 2 The Performing Arts Center allows partnerships with touring companies and provides opportunities to bring stage productions to the Valley. The multiple uses of, the center should serve as a supplement to convention groups for lectures, film screenings, and forums. This venue also serves to support local interests offering the opportunities for area schools, adult groups, et cetera to utilize this resource. Project 3: Library/Learning Center Overview: • Expanding the library to create a world-class learning center will open up a host of revenue stream and sponsorship opportunities. Rationale: • Positive influence on community • Raises Vail to new standard in high-tech resources • Plays integral role in expanding opportunities available to local schools • Promotes Vail as cutting-edge, progressive thinking, and attractive to those looking to utilize these tools for business Opportunities: • Alliances with companies such as Oracle, Microsoft, TCI, or other high-tech service providers are synergistic to promote product and provide brand awareness for partners. • The William H. Gates Foundation and The Gates Library Foundation - Supports initiatives in education, global health and community giving. - Has committed S200 million over five years to bring PC technology and Internet access to public libraries across the nation. Issues: • Overall cost,of project • Ensuring the community involvement in the end project; center not geared strictly to visitors/business community, but user-friendly to schools, community groups, and Vail residents. Conclusion: • This community resource has national implications with its high profile, high tech appeal, yet provides an outlet for community involvement. This site serves as a supplement for intellectual symposiums or "think-tank" conventions that are drawn to the Valley (convention center). It also provides higher education opportunities for current residents or those considering vacations to the area. Project 4: Ice Rink Overview: • lee rinks are marketing tools familiar to corporate marketers at all levels from high schools, to colleges, to professional sports. The traditional inventory (i.e. naming rights, scoreboards, 3 dasherboards, etc.) included in the facility make this project enticing to corporations looking for brand building and opportunities to reach their core audience. Proiect 4: Ice Rink (cont.) Rationale: • Known marketing tool for corporations • Provides additional ice-time for residents • Multi-use facility with potential to host "special" events • Fits criteria of community/visitor use with mass corporate appeal Comparable Properties: Cherry-Creek Ice Rink- • Recently the Colorado Lottery, Volvo of North America, and Wells Fargo participated in the building of the Cherry Creek Ice rink in Denver. Volvo and Wells Fargo-became $25,000 sponsors of the ice rink while the Colorado Lottery has invested $50,000. • The Lottery receives changeable signs that update the Lotto jackpot and the rink's setting supports the Lottery's charge of benefiting the environment. In addition, to track lottery customers and provide additional value, Cherry Creek will give free skate rentals to consumers with two cans of food or a non-winning ticket. Volvo will receive a life-sized snow and ice sculpture and display three cars onsite. In conjunction to dealers' distributing free skating passes to customers, the company will be on-site to answer questions during the holidays. Wells Fargo will provide free refreshments for skaters through its sponsorship of the rink's warming center. Issues: • The operation and usage of the second sheet of ice must supplement and add value to the events currently taking place at Dobson ice rink • Project must set itself apart from other ice rinks in region Conclusion: • A second ice rink will be a strong draw and should prove to have tremendous community support. This prolect rates highly because of corporate appeal and its role in providing a necessary benefit - to the community. Final Remarks As stated, it is our opinion that these four projects above are the most promising from the sponsorship/corporate marketing perspective. We are aware that other projects under review (skate-park, gymnasium/gymnastic; facility included in Donovan Park project, soccer-park, etc.) have marketable aspects. However, in our opinion these projects should remain as secondary alternatives. The Committee would be best served by focusing its resources in developing the marketing potential on the Top 4. 4 r ORDINANCE NO. 21 SERIES OF 1999 AN ORDINANCE CREATING THE VAIL LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT.

The existing computer system is approximately ten years old and is functionally obsolete. The equipment is currently being installed and will be ready to be utilized at the beginning of the ski season. Lionshead Parking Structure Work In addition to upgrading the parking equipment in the Lionshead parking structure, we are also expanding the exit lanes for this structure. We are adding approximately two exit lanes which will expedite egress to this facility, and help eliminate three booth attendant positions. This project will also be completed in time for the ski season ICMA I will be attending the International City Manager's Conference in Portland, Oregon from September 24th through September 28th. During this time Pam Brandmeyer will function as the Acting Town Manager, and Anne Wright will be able to reach me if you need anything. Computer Network Upgrade The internal TOV computer net which provides internal communication service (e-mail), as well as external communication services (Internet), is overloaded and rapidly becoming obsolete. This existing system is five years old and the demands being placed on it by both internal and external uses is growing geometrically. In order to function effectively, we need to replace and upgrade this system. The approximate cost for this upgrade is $50,000.00. We will be including this amount in an upcoming supplemental appropriation, and this work will be completed by the end of the calendar year.

This sale must be conditioned upon Eagle County's acceptance of the attached affordable housing memorandum which was developed by Knudtsen and Company as a result of meetings of the ECRA Affordable Housing Subcommittee. This subcommittee included Rob Ford, David Carter, Rich MacCutcheon, Ken Marchetti, Tom Moorhead, Ross Palmer, Chuck Powers, and Rick Pylman. In regard to the separate sale of Tract D to the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, the Vail Town Council takes the position that the net proceeds from the sale should be distributed to the Recreation Authority members consistent with their percentage of ownership.

Deed Restrictions All 100 ownership units within the development will be deed restricted since the land will be contributed to development at below market value making the purchase prices affordable. The inbent of this development Is to ensure! future generations the same benefit as the initial purchasers. Because the Contribution lowers the cost of development as well as the sales prices, the deed restriction will run in perpetuity. Three salient points of the deed restriction include: o Appreciation wnil be limited to an annual rate of 3% (or 50% of GPI, which ever is greater), plus costs for assessments and functional Improvements. (See Exhibit A for complete list of elements which can be included In the resale price.) u Units must be owner-oowpled. u Home owners must continue tD work full-time at businesses located within Eagle County. Changing employers at some point in the future does not affect compliance with the deed restriction, as long as employment remains at a business located within Eagle County. April 7, 1999 Page 4 of 9 Proposed Text for ECRA Affordable Housing subcommitbee by Knudtsen and Company LLC , JUJOJI ruro, Apr - I -JtJ 1 :e4VM' Page t3/10 i L Introduction The proposed toaster plan for Berry Creek 5th Filing and Miller Ranch combines the resources of the Eagle County Recreation Authority and the Eagle County School District to provide a variety of community needs. The proposed master plan designates 11 parcels for a variety of uses such as open space, future school sites, affordable housing and recreation. Below is a summary of the proposed uses and the corresponding acreage: Use Number of Approximate Parceh Acreage Schools 4 55 Recreation Area 1 41 OpenSpace 2 37 Housing 2 30 Alternative Uses 2 29 At its January 8, 1999 meeting, the Eagle County Recreation Authority appointed an affordable housing subcommittee, made up of representatives from Berry Creek, Chuck Powers, Arrowhead, Rick MacCutcheon, and the Town of Vail, Rob Ford and Tom Moorhead. This subcommittee met several titres to create a framework for the affordable housing development, which is provided below. H. Desired Housing Development A. Ovemll Goal At build out, there will be 200 units on the parcel. Half of the development, potentially 100 units, are to be rental apartments. The other half of the development, potentially another 100 units, are to be owner- occupied homes. These development figures pertain to the 16-acre parcel Berry Creek parcel. Additional units on the Miller Ranch parcel are likely to be built and are to be pursued by the School District. By Deed Restrictions All units will be deed restricted as affordable housing. There will be no free market homes within the development. G Bullding Type 1. Rental Units The building form for the rental units will be similar to the Lake Creek development. Buildings will be clustered, varying in height from two to three stories. Buildings April 7, 1999 Page 5 of 9 Proposed Text'for ECRA Affordable Housing subcommittee by Knudtsen and Company LLC Apr-t-y4 1:25PM; Page 7/10 ~N will be sited to blend with the site and with other buildings. Taller buildings may be situated next to the base of the steep slope on the northern side of the site. Specific unit mix will be determined later, once the reports quantifying housing needs for the county are available. Conceptual site planning can trove forward, as the plans can be modified later to accommodate the appropriate unit mix. 2. Ownership Units The building form of the ownership units will be determined during the conceptual site planning exercise- While the committee is open to all types of building forms at this time, there is a general preference for townhouse and duplex style of development, recognizing a limited potential for single family. Some consideration will be given to neo-traditional development, similar to West Eagle and new developments in Breckenridge. Condominium style of development will be considered as it may work particularly well for the one-bedroom component in the development. D. Management of the Rental Units Management of the rental units was a concern that was raised, specifically the economy of scale. Given the potential of combining rental product with additional rental units on the Miller Ranch site and given the presence of established management companies in the vicinity of this site, 100 rental units were determined to be acceptable. Management staff will be responsible for screening all prospective tenants, verifying compliance with applicable restrictions, notifying member entities of available units (per the distribution standards listed below), and other typical management duties. E_ Caretaker Apartments within Ownership Homes There may be some opportunity for caretaker units to be included within the ownership housing. The benefit of including this component is that it will allow local families to off set their mortgage payments with rental income. Concerns about this use are that additional regulations will be required to insure that the caretaker units are not abused by over use (potential use by multiple seasonal workers, for example) or under use (potential use by extended family, rather than local employees). Compromise reached by stating that any caretakers to be included in the development will be driven by the overall financial needs of the development (i.e., if additional revenue from this type of product is needed to make the overall pro forma work). F. Miscellaneous Apartment residents will be given top priority to purchase ownership units, when they become available in the future. April 7, 1999 Page 6 of 9 Proposed Text for ECRA Affordable Housing subcommittee by Knudtsen and Company LLC .V. u, Apr - i -aa 1 :zbvm; Page 8/10 IIL Setting Price Points Setting sales and rental prices will involve market analysis and pro formas and will be done at a later date. At this time, the goal is to set these price points based on the cost of construction with some consideration for the cost of the land (up to 5%). Revenue attributed to the value of the land would cover amenities for the development, specifically tot lots, trails, and a club house/community center. If additional revenue were available, recreation amenities on other parcels within the Berry Creek Fifth would be funded. infrastructure costs to he covered are limited to those necessary for the housing. A return on investment to the member entities is not anticipated from the housing component in the near future. A potential return on investment may be generated when bonds for the multifamily component are retired or refinanced. The working assumption is that the upfront housing costs will be covered by sales revenue and bond proceeds. It is not anticipated that member entities will incur any direct costs for the housing component. A. Purchase price to be based on coat of development Estimate cost of construction: Include infrastructure necessary to service housing, hard costs, soft costs, financing. Price units to cover costs: Evaluate range of product and price units in relation to cost and market comparison. Costs could range from $120,000 for a one-bedroom to $200,000 for a three bedroom single family home. Variables: Infrastructure. Density. Construction financing. B. Consider County Income levels Target different portions of the total development for certain income brackets: Low Income - 50% to 801Y9 of AMT. Moderate Income 80% to 1200/a of ANU. Above Moderate does not have a recognized percentage of AMI, but may be worth considering for a portion of this development. Based on the HUD statistics for 1995, the median income for a family for four in Eagle County was $51,900. Note that income is adjusted for household size. This translates to following income ranges: Low income: $25,951 - $41,520. Moderate Income - $41,521 - $62,280. (Source: Eagle County Comprehensive Housing Plan) One method of setting sales prices is to back into them, based on the following assumptions: 301/o, of gross income to be used for housing costs April 7, 1999 Page 7 of 9 Proposed Text far ECRA Affordable Housing subcommittee by Knudtsen and Company LLC Page 9/ 10 ie 4 Housing costs include principle, interest, taxes and home owner's association dues. (note that HOA includes insurance). A conventional 30-year fixed loan at 7.25%. This rate is conservative, as current rates are 6.875%, plus one point for origination Down payment of 100/9. A family of four earning $41,521 would qualify for a S 134,052 home. A family of four earning $62,280 would qualify for a $211,252 home. These figures are based an the Berry Creek 4th Filing mill levy of 67.860 and the assumption of $ 150 per month for HOA dues. The purpose of providing these figures is to show what potential buyers, earning 80% to 120% of the area median income, can afford to purchase. This in turn provides a general indication of the type of product that could be developed. IV. Design Features A. Within each individual unit Storage, Private yards/open space, Garages, Views, Sun exposure, Unfinished basements. The ECRA will watch cost and feasibility of unfinished basements and may eliminate. B. Witbin the development I . Two to three tot lots on this parcel for the use of the residents of the rental and ownership units. 2. Trails and sidewalks providing connections to other parcels within the Berry Creek 5th, specifically the river, the future recreation amenities, and the open space. 3. A clubhouse providing adequate space for on-site rental management and a community roomlparty room. Allow for day care use. Base programming on the clubhouse provided at Eagle Fiend. 4. The rental and ownership units will share all facilities. V. Future Considerations Resales and Enforcement Once criteria for distribulion~have been established, must be used on an on-going basis as units am ro-sold and purchased by subsequent owners. FNMA approval of development is critical to,enable initial and future purchasers to secure conventional loans- Responsibilities for administering resales and enforcement must he identified.

Specifically, the suit seeks a ruling from Eagle County District Court declaring the use of the property for a fire station, as opposed to open space, violates town ordinances. The suit alleges construction of a fire station at the trailhead would be in violation of the Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund (RETT) ordinance which calls for using the fund for the "purpose of acquiring, improving, maintaining and repairing property for parks, recreation, open space and similar purpose." The Spraddle Creek property was acquired for $500,000 by the town from the U.S. Forest Service using money from the RETT fund. Also, the suit refers to the property's current zoning status, Natural Area Preservation, alleging a fire station would not be allowed as a permitted use under current zoning. The suit was filed July 29 by the Denver-based law firm of Isaacson, Rosenbaum, Woods & Levy. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead waived service Sept. 1 and is in the process of preparing a court response to the lawsuit. Vail Town Manager Bob McLaurin has recommended relocation of the Main Vail fire station to one of two locations on the north side of the Main Vail roundabout, one of which is the Spraddle Creek site.

Work Session Briefs Council members present: Arnett, Foley, Jewett, Kurz, Navas --2000 Council Contributions As a prelude to the Council's 2000 budget discussion on agency contribution requests, Town Manager Bob McLaurin called Council's attention to a 5-year financial projection which shows a general fund deficit of $493,000 in 2001. As a result, McLaurin said the Council will need to make adjustments through budget cuts, increased revenues or the diversion of funds from the town's capital budget to create a balanced general operating budget. The 2000 budget projection currently shows a surplus of $98,000. In introducing the 26 agency contribution requests for next year, McLaurin said requests had grown from $819,930 in 1999 to $1.2 million for 2000. McLaurin proposed contributions of $710,155 for 2000 in the categories of: 1) economic development; 2) educational enrichment; 3) health and human services; 4) recreation-, and 5) arrangements and agreements. After reviewing each request, the Council agreed upon a total of $596,780 as follows, while four other requests were tabled for additional discussion: Economic Bravo!

In addition, the Council fielded a $5,000 verbal request by Joe Staufer of the Vail Community Chamber. Councilmembers agreed to consider the request under the auspices of a council contingency request. Other key discussions yesterday included: • a plea by Councilman Kevin Foley to provide additional funding in the educational and health and human services categories, noting the positive contributions the organizations bring to the overall health of the community. • A 3-2 Council vote (Navas and Kurz against) to eliminate the town's general fund contribution of $183,500 towards marketing. Local businessmen Steve Rosenthal and Bruce Gillie expressed disappointment, noting a previous request to continue the contribution as part of a compromise with the business community for support of a 1.4 percent lodging tax. • A suggestion by Sybill Navas to consider consolidation of the 2 visitor information booths to a central location. • Agreement by Councilmembers to consider the Vail Community Chamber's interest in providing suggestions for operation of the visitor centers during contract renewals with the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau. --Final Operating and Capital Budget Review Due to the length of the previous discussion, this item was postponed to the Sept. 28 work session. --Council Reports Sybill Navas reported on her attendance at a meeting organized by the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments to review the draft plan for the White River National Forest. Navas said the draft plan has significant impacts to the area. She urged citizens to become involved in the review. Navas also reported on her involvement in the wayfinding (updating of informational and direction signs and gateways) project and expressed enthusiasm about the proposed improvements. A preliminary presentation will be held with the Design Review Board on Oct. 6. Ludwig Kurz and Michael Arnett, who both joined a recent delegation to Carmel, Calif., said the trip was informative and useful. They said a follow-up meeting will be held later in the week to prepare a report and next steps. --Other Sybill Navas routed a copy of an article describing the cow art project in Chicago she'd mentioned previously.

Foley also suggested the Vail Host program review its practice of information dissemination, noting an incident in which guests were directed to a Vail Resorts bike rental shop. Foley said the hosts should have made an effort to provide unbiased information.

Beaver Divers has been serving the Vail community for 14 years, teaching thousands of local residents to SCUBA dive. We have utilized numerous facilities around the Vail Valley for pool training; however, because of the limited size and depth of the present facilities, training has been difficult. The proposed swimming facility with a 20' diving well would not only serve as a world class training facility for competitive swimmers, but also an excellent opportunity for local children to pursue their interests in competitive swimming and diving. At the present time, there is not an adequate facility anywhere in the Vail Valley. Beaver Divers would support the aquatic center by using it as our primary training facility. In recent years, sales tax revenues have declined in the Town of Vail primarily because local residents have moved down valley, and have no reason to return to town in the evening to spend money in restaurants and other businesses. Their needs are being served down valley. However, with a sports complex such as the one being proposed, and specifically the aquatic center, down valley residents will have reason to stay in town, and ultimately spend money in the Town of Vail. The proposed complex can only be a win-win situation because it will not only serve the local community, but will bring in outside tax dollars as well. The Town of Vail is a first-class community, and as such, should have a first-class sports complex. Please give the proposed aquatic and sports complex your utmost attention.

Tuesday, August 10, 1999 Krueger Room, Golf Clubhouse, Seasons at the Green Restaurant 1779 Vail Valley Drive Called to Order at 9:02 a.m. MEMBERS PRESENT Ross Davis, Bart Cuomo. Chris Mofett, Steve Simonett, and Nancy Stevens. MEMBERS ABSENT None. OTHERS PRESENT Piet Pieters, Bob Trautz. Diane Johnson, Mike Ortiz, Jim Sanders, Jim Heber, Susanne Chardoul, Shawn Boris, Ken Wilson, and Rhonda Hickman. PUBLIC INPUT ON ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA Ken had two items to bring before the Directors. The first item is the manner in which the Junior Caddy program was ended. He heard the decision to terminate the program without any notice has created some bad feelings. He sense is that there was problems on both the golf club side and the caddies' side, but to abruptly end the program along with the benefits of play for the kids who participated in the program is not in the best interest of the VRD. He would like to see the Board reinstate the benefits to the caddies for the rest of the summer to foster good will. Nancy inquired as to how many he is talldng about. Piet thought there was approximately 10 to 15. He also stated the benefits were terminated to be consistent with VRD policy that when employment is concluded throughout the District, all privileges are also ended. Ross, Nancy, But, and Chris do not want to reward caddies that did not truly participate in the program by reinstating the passes. Steve suggested to reinstate the program through Labor Day weekend and to reinstate the passes for those kids that show up to work. He doesn't want to make guidelines at the end of the season when they were not in place at the beginning of the season. It was decided to ict people that wanted to use caddies to be able to book 1 SEP-21-1999 03=29 P.02 r J them through Reid, and to reinstate the passes for those that wanted to work The second issue Ken brought up was the increase in gymnastics fees in the middle of the year. His experience has been that fees are set at the beginning of the calendar year in public budget meetings. He was disturbed that the only notification that was given was a letter stating the increase for the next session, with no explanation as to why the increase was needed This led to his stating he thought there was the appearance of a conflict of interest when the Board members voted on a fee increase for. the public, while they were allowed the use of the different programs for their children at employee discounted rates. He had no problem with the fact the Directors could have the use of VRD's programs and facilities for themselves, however, for them to get discounted rates for their families was another thing. He requested a copy of the benefits the current and past Board members and their families got along with the rates the public are charged. Chris didn't think to ask until after Kerr left what benefits past board members had and if Ken has a current golf pass. This led to all the Directors asking for a list of benefits for past Directors. DOBSON FEE STRUCTURE FOR THE YEAR 2000 Jim began by stating in the past Dobson's season has been set as starting in the fall for the upcoming winter. His proposal is to increase Junior Hockey by $15 to $90 an hour, adult hockey by $10 to $120 an hour, and a general user rate increase of $15 for $145 an hour. After discussion, Bart motioned to increase the Junior Hockey fee to $85 for ice time and continue the $100 discount /credit for in-District participants in Jr. Hockey to be administrated by the hockey club. Nancy seconded with Chris and Ross approving and Steve opposing. Passed four to one. DOBSON EXPANSION Jim was happy to tell the Board the expansion project was approved with conditions. However, the total estimated figure for completion is now in the range of $2 million. Bob stated on a loan of $1.5 million the annual payment on a 15 year tern at 6% interest would be approximately $125,000. The question now is whether to continue with the project. Bart motioned to move ahead with an April groundbreaking, while Steve opposes and wants more public input. Ross opposes until the potential borrowing issues of VRD and the TOV are clarified. Nancy seconded. Passed three to two. TASK FORCE REPRESENTA7.ZVE Piet has been the liaison between the VRD and the Community Task Force for the past two years. A new representative is needed for the next two- year term. Chris stated she is also on the committee as a community representative, and would not be able to also represent VRD. She 2 SEP-21-1999 6330 P.03 t motioned to =,nominate Piet. Nancy seconded. Steve opposed. Passed four to one. EAGLE VALLEY REC. AUTHORITY Piet stated the next meeting is August I & at 3:00 at which the county commissioners will discuss the possibility of levying either a countywide one cent tax or a mill levy to fund recreation. Ross said there would need to be a countywide election to create the funding. Piet said VRD's buy-in program is what originated these talks and that if this idea does not get off the ground, VRD will continue with the buy-in program. VARIANCE REPORT The $24,000 unfavorable variance amount that occurred for the six months ending June 30' is misleading. Bob noted this arnowrt is attributable to the timing of collections, being it from sponsorships or other payments. He estimates that by season end the District will be anywhere from $100,000 to $120,000 favorable. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE UPDATE The Board asked for clarification of some items on the Capital Expenditure report. Bob stated they haven't cancelled any projects, but delayed some of them due to their degree of importance. He will bring in a more detailed report on these projects. WEST FEST Piet noted the Labor Day weekend West Fest will be held on the Rugby field, along with the lower bench at Ford Park and the Athletic fields. All remaining rugby games will be held on the softball fields due to the treacherous condition of the fields. The rains plus the soccer tournament that was held last weekend is what put the rugby field in the shape it is in. Piet has put in a request to use RETT funds for a new field at Red Sandstone to give the current overused fields some rest in between events. We are also getting bids to repair the rugby field this fall and Piet recommends using some of the funds earmarked for Dobson this year to pay for the repair of the fields. COMMUNITY FACILITY Piet stated the public needs to become more involved with the community facility plans. It seems the only comments being voiced are more negative than positive towards this project due to the idea of condemning private property. He would like to have the skating club members, hockey club, and mad= % among others voice their interests to the Town, not just to VRD Board of Directors. With their help, the second sheet of ice and gymnastics facility can become a reality. BOARD MEMBER INPUT Chris commended Mike and his staff for the running races, she has heard they went well. She also was at a Rotary meeting when Harry Frampton 3 SEP-21-1999 03:31 P.04 -a stated there were problems with Vail including the golf course being the worst in the mountain area.
