VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
WORK SESSION
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1999
2:00 P.M. AT TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS
AMENDED AGENDA
NOTE: Time of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied
upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item.
1 • Clarification and potential changes to the Town of Vail Employee
Nina Timm Housing Guidelines. (45 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Discuss specific issues in
the Employee Housing Guidelines and provide staff with direction
on changes.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In the course of the past year the
housing division has conducted numerous housing lotteries which
have illuminated certain issues that need further clarification in the
Employee Housing Guidelines. Also, staff has been asked by
some members of the community to ask Council to look at
changing certain aspects of the Employee Housing Guidelines.
2. A request for a work session for amendments to Title 12, Zoning
Dominic Mauriello with respect to Employee Housing Unit Standards, Minimum Lot
Size Requirements in the Primary/Secondary and Two-Family
Residential Zone Districts and Site Coverage Standards. (45
mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Work session - No action
requested of Town Council.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On June 15, 1999 the Community
Development Department presented to the Town Council some
potential revisions to the Town Code having impact on the
provision of employee housing in the Town's duplex zone districts,
Two-Family Residential and Two-Family Primary/Secondary
Residential. The Town Council gave staff the direction to move
forward with the concepts presented.
The PEC provided its final recommendation of approval on the
proposed amendments on September 27, 1999. The proposal
was also reviewed by the PEC on August 23, 1999 and
September 13, 1999.
As part of the Vail Tomorrow and Common Ground processes the
community stated that the Town needed to improve its incentives
for private developers to create Employee Housing Units (EHUs).
Staff has identified some areas of the Zoning Regulations that
may need to be modified in order to ensure that the Zoning
Regulations are truly "promoting" employee housing rather than
acting more as a disincentive. The intent of presenting this is to
gauge whether the Town Council agrees that there may be areas
that need to be addressed in the code and if staff should work to
resolve these issues.
The following is a list of what we believe to be disincentives to
providing EHUs:
• Requiring garage space for an EHU, where code does not
require garage space for other dwelling units
• Restricting the sale of a Type I and Type II EHU and requiring
that it be a rental property
I
• Taking away the right to do a "250" on older homes if an EHU
GRFA credit is used
• Not allowing enough site coverage to build the EHU on smaller
lots
• Not providing GRFA credits for multiple-family EHUs (Type III)
• Counting Type III EHUs as an impact on density
Please refer to.the memo in your packet for a detailed analysis.
RECOMMENDATION: None provided as this is a work session.
3. Review of Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1999, an ordinance
Allison Ochs disconnecting those properties as outlined in the exchange
agreement between the Town of Vail and the United States Forest
Service as adopted and approved in Resolution No.3, Series of
1997. (15 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review Ordinance No. 29,
Series of 1999, that is on for first reading at this evening's
meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In February of 1997, the Town of
Vail entered into an agreement with the United States Forest
Service to exchange certain properties in and around the Town of
Vail.
This Exchange Agreement, as adopted in Resolution No. 3, Series
of 1997, required the Town of Vail to de-annex these properties to
fulfill the terms of the Exchange Agreement. (See memo for maps
and descriptions of these properties.)
4. Review Ordinance No. 25, Series of 1999, an Annual
Steve Thompson Appropriation Ordinance: Adopting A Budget And Financial Plan

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review Ordinance No. 28,
Series of 1999, that is on for first reading at this evening's
meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: This is the second supplemental
appropriation for 1999. The majority of these proposed
supplementals were presented with the second quarter financial
report and discussed with the council at the August 24, 1999 work
session. We have shaded the line items that have been added
since the last meeting. There is a net reduction in total budgeted
expenditures due to the reduction of $1.9 million in capital
protects.
6. Discussion of Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, an ordinance
George Ruther amending Chapter 7, Section 12, Public Accommodation Zone
Tom Braun District, Chapter 2, Section 12 Definition and Chapter 10, Section
12 of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations to allow for text
amendments to the development standards prescribed for the
Public Accommodation Zone District; providing definitions of
"Fractional Fee Club Unit", "Lodge", and "Substantial Off-site
Impact"; revising the parking requirement calculation for a
fractional fee club unit; and setting forth details in regard thereto.
A draft copy of Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, has been
attached for reference. (20 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review Ordinance No. 23,
Series of 1999, scheduled for second reading at this evening's
meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On Monday, June 28, 1999, the
Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission reviewed and
recommended approval of the proposed text amendments to the
Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, pursuant to Chapter 3, Section
12 of the Town Code.
The Planning & Environmental Commission's recommendation of
approval was based upon the review of the proposed
amendments outlined in the staff memorandum and input and
testimony taken during the public hearing process. Having
reviewed the amendments, the Commission found, "that the
proposed development standards further the development
objectives of the Town, that the proposed development standards
are in keeping with the purpose and intent of the Public
Accommodation Zone District, and 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."
7. Temporary Use of the Vacated VRD Space at the Vail Public
Pam Brandmeyer Library (15 mins.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In researching housing
possibilities for the 11 seasonal bus drivers to whom we have
offered winter positions, staff reviewed town-owned vacant
space(s). This pertains to use for the upcoming 1999-2000 ski
season only. Although Bright Horizons was considered, it was
thought more prudent to look at a space that didn't have any
potential time constraints as proposed through the Community
Facilities Plan, e.g., conversion of Bright Horizons into a
Community Room to replace the current library space.
What follows are estimates of what it would cost to convert the
VRD space:
1. Add shower to restroom. Remove mop sink and add
new shower stall. $1600
2. Add kitchen sink to outside corner of restroom,
including cabinets. $1650
3. Install electric range w/microwave overhead
next to sink/include electrical. $1450
4. Install refrigerator. $1000
5. Add smoke detectors @ $50/room $ 300
6. Other carpentry work to include replacing two
doors, 3 blinds, remove wall, remove ceiling
light. $1100
f
7. Rent furniture $40/month/room. $1200
8. Clean carpet. $ 900
TOTAL $9200
The Vail Library is zoned GU (General Use) so a conditional use
would be required. We will file an application to put our
conditional use permit application on the October 25th PEC
agenda.
The five bedrooms would be rented at $350-$400/month/bedroom.
At five months (rather than six based on our experience):
5 bedrooms X $350/month X 5 months = $8750 RENTAL
REVENUE
5 bedrooms X $400/month X 5 months = $10,000 RENTAL
REVENUE
The TOV Employee Committee will meet to set the rental rate
based on comparable rentals throughout the valley and direction
from the Council.
