Proposed Standard Operating Procedures to Assist Local Towns, and
Municipalities in Street Addressing, as developed by the
Members and Associates of the Eagle County E911 Board of Directors
Proper addressing in this ever-growing area, is critical for a number of important
reasons. In this case we would like to address the specific need that our
emergency service providers have for an effective method that allows them the
opportunity to respond to an crisis situation. With all of the things that our
emergency services people have to deal while responding, worrying about
whether the address is correct or not - shouldn't be one of them!
Currently we are dealing with a duplication of street names, which exist in the
County. This can be a problem for a visitor in the area calling 911 with the street
name, but no knowledge of what Town they are in. Obviously, dispatch
personnel have a difficult time in these situations.
Herein, are suggested procedures for local towns, and municipalities within Eagle
County, to follow.
1. Submit proposed new streets and addresses to the E911 Board of
Directors (E991BOD) for approval.
This commonly occurs when plats and re-plats are submitted for approval.
The E911 BOD, once in receipt of the data, will review two specific items - a
proper address numbering system, and whether or not the street name(s) have
been duplicated within the County
2. Notify E911BOD after proposed streets and addresses have been
approved.
Alf new streets and addresses are then entered into the Eagle County Master '
Street Address Guide. This database is used by the 911 Call Center Computer ~
System. `
3. Submit proposed address changes to the E911BOD for review, and in
the same manner as above, notify after the changes have been
approved.
Please submit all of the above information to the E911 BOD, through:

• PbIJLB -
April 29, 1999
Eagle County 911 Emergency Service Telephone Authority Board
Eagle County, Colorado
Dear Members:
Cauntywide cooperation is required during street addressing decisions for numerous reasons. Some of the following are
the most frequently observed problems:
• Duplicate Street Names - Duplicate street names create multiple problems for Emergency Services Dispatchers and
Responders. One of the most crucial points is the fact that visitors to Eagle County often think that they are staying in
Vail, when in fact they may be residing anywhere from Vail to Edwards to Gypsum. If one of those visitors calls 911
from a Cell phone, or if no ANI/ALI information is produced on an E-911 call, the resulting time delay created from the
necessary confirmation of location may be devastating. Overall it is disadvantageous to Emergency Services when
identical street names are created within the same county, even if they are located in different municipalities or
subdivisions.
• Duplicate Address Ranges on Duplicate Street Names - The same situation exists as the above example but is
compounded when the address ranges are replicated. The Vail Communications Center enters all provided
addresses into our Computer Aided Dispatch GEO File. These addresses are in turn separated into specific
numerical address ranges. If the ranges are not duplicated, then the computer will automatically accept the given
address as a valid location and will specify the exact vicinity of the locale (incorporated municipality, unincorporated
town, subdivision, etc). This in turn allows the Dispatchers to immediately send appropriate agencies and more
efficiently and effectively handle the call for service. If address ranges are duplicated, then additional time is needed
to confirm the exact vicinity of the call thus slowing emergency response times.
• Delayed Advisement of Street Updates - Unfortunately, the notification of address additions, deletions, and
modifications have historically not been produced to the Communications Center in the most timely manner.
Communications should be an integral part of the addressing process, as the possible resulting effects without this
exchange of information are obvious.
Although stipulated above, basic technical information can be somewhat confusing, especially when unfamiliar with the
integral working components of the Vail Communications Center. Some scenarios may help to clarify some of these
points (The road names are for illustration purposes onty and are not to be considered true street names or
addresses):
a) Situation (Duplicate Road Name and Duplicate Address Ranges): A woman from out of town is staying in Eagle Vail
and calls 911 via cell phone to report a medical call at 100 Eagle Rd. Problem: There are 3 different Eagle Roads
within the county, and all have a 100 block. All the woman knows about her location is that she is staying in a house
in Vail to go skiing. The cell phone number from the phone that she used to call 911 also does not assist dispatchers
to determine the area of the county from which she is calling. Response times for EMS crews will be delayed during
the time it takes for dispatchers to question the woman, ascertain that the Eagle Rd is located this time in Eagle Vail,
and then dispatch the appropriate EMS and Police units. If the computer had immediately accepted the address, then
appropriate responding units would have been dispatched immediately following the acceptance of the address.

' P011(8 '
b) Situation (Duplicate & Similar Street Names): A visitor to the Vail area calls to report a medical at 20 Columbine.
Problem: He does not know if he is on Columbine Dr, Columbine Ci, Columbine Ct, Columbine Rd, Columbine Wy,
Columbine Loop, or Columbine Ln. He does not know which city or town he is staying in and he does not know his
phone number (and there is no A9V1/AL1 display). There are street names in Gypsum, EL Jebel, Eagle, Wolcott,
Edwards, Cordillera, and Eagle-Vail that could fit the criteria, so it will take time to interview the RP and narrow the
location vicinity. If the street address ranges were not duplicated, the address of 20 Columbine would automatically
be accepted by the CAD Computer and advise the Dispatcher of the corcect Emergency Services jurisdiction.
c) Situation (De/ayed Advisement of Street Updates): A construction worker reports a fall from the construction site af 20
Kayak Crossing. He provides a phone number and a ball park vicinity. Problem: Neither the address nor the street
name has yet to be provided to our Communications Center and no one, including the responding units are familiar
with the location or its vicinity. Communications would have no ability to provide directions and cross streets via their
CAD computers, and a possibly lengthy investigation would be required in order to send assistance to the correct
area.
d) Situation: An Enhanced 911 call is received by the Communications Center and a response is needed to that exact
location. The CAD computer refuses to accept the address provided on the 911-display and prohibits the use of the
'paint over' function and immediate entry of the 911 information into the CAD incident. Problem: Either the Address
does not fit into the given address range for that particular street, the street range and/or the street name do not exist,
the address on the 911 display is missing the suffix (way, drive, lane, road) etc.
Again, the provided examples are not intended to be a complete analysis of all street addressing issues in Eagle County.
They are instead meant to serve as an illustration demanding the need for a Countywide coordinated street address
approval and advisement system. As our Couniy continues to expand and tiecome increasingly congested, problems will
increase proportionately until modifications are made to correct the frequent occurrences.
Respectfulfy,

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Senior Special Projects Planner
Date: October 12, 1999
Re: Vail Plaza Hotel
The purpose of this memorandum is to update the Town Council on the progress of the development review process
and to inform the Council of tbe issues discussed to date.
On Monday, October 11, 1999, the Planning & Environmental Conunission held a worksession meeting to discuss
the proposed major amendment to Special Development District No.6, Vail Village Inn. The major amenclment is
intended to facilitate the construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel. This was the second worksession with the
Commission. The previous worksession, held on September 27, was devoted entirely to the issue of employee
housing requirements. One or possibly two more worksessions are anticipated priar to the Commission making a
final recommendation to the Town Council on the proposal.
Included in the Town Councii packet was a copy of the staff inemorandum to the Planning & Environmental
Commission. The memorandum outlines the purpose of the worksession, a partiai description of the applicant's
request, a stuninary of the backgound and history of the District, a zoning analysis of the proposal, a comparison of
the 1999 major sdd amendment to the previous 1998 proposal and a number of issues which the staff was
recommending that the Corrunission and applicant discuss.
Following a site visit to the development site, the Conunission and the applicant ciiscussed the issues identified by
staff. The following is a summary of the Commissioner's comments:
Vail Road Setback In general, the Commissioners disagreed with staff's concem that the proposed hotel should be required to maintain
the required twenty-foot setback along Vail Road. The Commissioners believed that the setback was appropriate
given the existing development on adjacent properties. Several Commissioners did express an interest, however, in
reviewing a landscape plan to insure that the streetscape along Vail Road can be adequately provided and that the
applicant address the setback criteria and demonstrate why a setback encroachment should be granted.
RECYCLEDPAPER
Buildina Hei aht
The staff had identified a concem with the proposed height of the hotel on several portions of the development site.
Upon reviewing the plans, the Commissioners believed that the proposed height of the hotel was acceptable.
Several Commissioners did indicate that certain areas of the hotel did not respect the development on adjacent
properties. Of greatest concern was the height of the hotel in relation to the residential uses in the Gateway Building
and that the hotel turned its back on the Gateway Building.
Greenspace/Pedestrian Circulation
This particular issue generated the most discussion. The Vail Village Inn Special Development District
contemplated an interior courtyard partially surrounded by commercial development. The courtyard was intended to
serve the guests and visitors staying within the Vail Village Inn as well as pedestrian traffic off of East Meadow
Drive. The Cornnussioners were most concemed that the current proposal did not provide adequate pedestrian
circulation throughout the District. The applicant was asked to review the site plans and seek opportunities to
improve circulation. Possible improvements suggested included reducing the size of the pool deck area, increasing
the walkway widths near Phases I& II, introducing more retail frontage to the courtyard, creating a better pedestrian
connection to the Gateway Building, raising the finish elevation of the pool deck, revising the tower design at the
south entrance to the hotel and repairing the pavers within the District.
Building Entrance on Vail Road
+ The Commissioners generally believed that the proposed entrance design on Vail Road was acceptable. Several ,
Commissioners did request that the applicant present additional drawings and details of the proposed entrance
design at the next meeting. Depending upon the information submitted, improvements to the entrance maybe
requested. The concern with the entrance was that it may lack a sense of arrival.
Accommodation Unit Requirement
Over the years the Town has consistently required that accommodation units be provided in Phase IV of the Vail
Village Inn. The required number was once as high as 175 units. The existing ordinance requires no fewer than 148
accommodation units. The applicanYs proposal includes 98 accommodation units and 44 part-time fractional club
units far a combined total of 142 units. T'he Commissioners believed that given the types of units proposed and the
anticipated operation of the fractional fee club units, that the spirit and the intent of the requirement was essentially
being met.
The next step in the development review process is a second conceptual review of the proposal by the Design
Review Board. The Board initially reviewed the proposal on October 6 and their comments are outlined in Section
VI of the Planning & Environmental Comrnission memorandum. The next meeting of the Board is Wednesday, -
October 20. Staff anticipates that the proposal will be back before the Planning & Environmental Comrnission for a
third worksession on Monday, October 25 and progress towards a final recommendation on November 8.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: October 11, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to discuss a major amendment to Special
= Development District #6, Vail Village Inn, to allow for a hotel redevelopment within
Phase IV, located at 100 East Meadow Drive/Lots M, N, & O, Block 5-D, Vail
Village First Filing.
Applicant: Waldir Prado, Daymer Corporation
Planner: George Ruther
1. INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Waldir Prado, represented by Jay Peterson, is proposing a major amendment to
Special Development District #6, Vail Village Inn. The major amendment is intended to facilitate
the redevelopment of the existing Vail Village Inn, Phase IV Condominiums and allow for the
construction of the Vail Pfaza Hotel. The current proposal amends Phase IV of the Vail Village
Inn Plaza only. No amendments are proposed to Phases I-III or V of the Vail Village Inn.
The purpose of the worksession meeting is to:
¦ continue discussions on the redevelopment proposal for the Vail Plaza Hotel,
• visit the development site,
¦ present the revised proposal to the Planning & Environmental Commission and the
community,
• inform the Planning & Environmental Commission of the issues discussed between the
applicant and the Design Review Board,
¦ forward direction and input on the various aspects of the proposal to the applicant.
Based upon the information provided to date, staff recommends that the following issues be
discussed in anticipation of a final review and recommendation by the Planning & Environmental
Commission on Monday, October 25, 1999: .
• Proposed development standards
• Site planning
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Vail
Village Inn. The purpose of the major amendment is to amend the approved development plan
to allow for the construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel in Phase IV of the District.
1
The Vail Plaza Hotel is intended to be a mixed-use development. Uses within the hotel include
residential, commercial and recreation. The applicant is proposing to construct 98
accommodation units (hotel rooms), 44 part-time fractional fee club units, and 1 free-market
condominium. The fractional fee club units are to be considered part time, as during the summer
months the hotel will retain ownership of the units to rent as short-term accommodation units,
and then during the winter months the units will be sold as fractional fee club units. The Vail
Plaza Hotel also includes two restaurants, 3,550 square feet of accessory retail located within the
hotel, a 15,338 square foot conference facility, a 20,355 square foot full service spa and health
club facility and approximately 218 new underground parking spaces.
i
III. BACKGROUND
The following is a summary of the existing phases and development with the Vail Village Inn
Special Development District:
Phase I- This phase consists of the buildings located at the southeast corner of the
District. Phase I includes one residential dwelling unit approximately 3,927 square feet in
size and nine commercial/retail spaces.
Phase II - This phase consists of three residential dwelling units totaling approximately
3,492 square feet in size and three commercial/retail spaces. Phase II is generally located in the center of the District..
Phase III -This Phase consists of twenty-nine residential dwelling units totaling
_ approximately 44,830 square feet in size and six commercial/retail spaces. Phase III is -
located at the northeast corner of the District.
Phase lV - This is the original and oldest Phase in the District. This Phase consists af
one residential dwelling unit approximately 5,000 square feet in size and seventy-two
accommodation units comprising approximately 16,585 square feet of floor area. Phase
IV is generally located in the northwest corner of the District.
Phase V- This Phase consists of eleven residential dwelling units and three a
accommodation units totaling approximately 9,972 square feet of floor area and three
commercial/retail spaces. Phase V is located in the southwest corner of the District at
the intersection of Vail Road and East Meadow Drive.
A map illustrating the location of the various Phases has been attached for reference.
The following is a brief summary of the amendments to Special Development District No. 6 in the
original adoption:
• In 1976, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 7, Series 1976, establishing
Special Development Districts 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 area in which it is situated.
• 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.
The amendments included a requirement for a minimum of 175 accommodation units and
2
72,400 square feet of GRFA devoted entirely to accommodation units in Phase iV.
• 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. This amendment broke Phase IV into two distinct phases;
Phase IV and Phase V. This amendment established the maximum allowable GRFA for
the entire District at approximately 120,000 square feet. Further, the amendment
reduced the minimum accommodation unit requirement to 148 units and 67,367 square
feet of GRFA.
• In 1989, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1989, amending the
density controls of the District. This amendment increased the allowable GRFA to
124,527 square feet and allowed Unit #30 to be created in a commercial space. The
amendment maintained the previous approval requiring a minimum 148 accommodation
units and 67,367 square feet of GRFA devoted to units in Phases IV and V. .
• In 1991, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 9, Series 1991, providing for
certain amendments to the approved development plan for Special Development District
No. 6, which relates specifically to Phase IV. .
• 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 IV, and which made certain changes to the approved
development plan for Special Development District No. 6 as they relate to Phase IV.
When originally considering deviations from the underlying zoning in 1976, the Town Councii
found that such deviations were acceptab{e 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 our resort community.
The following is a summary of the land use regulations prescribed by the Public Accommodation
Zone District:
According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, the applicant's property is zoned Public
Accommodation. Pursuant to the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the Public Accommodation Zone
district is intended,
" to provide sites for lodges and residential accommodations for visitors, together
with such public and semi-public facilities and limited professional offices, medical
facitities, private recreation, and related visitor oriented uses as may appropriateiy
be located in the same district. The Public Accommodation District is intended to
ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with
lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of the District by
establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional nonresidential uses
are permitted as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a winter and
summer recreation and vacation community, and where permitted are intended to
function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the District.
The Public Accommodation Zone District is intended to provide sites for lodging units with
densities not to exceed 25 dwelling units per acre. The Pubiic Accommodation Zone District,
prior to January 21, 1997, did not permit interval ownership. On January 21, 1997, the town
3
Council adopted regulations allowing interval ownership subject to the issuance of a conditional
use permit. -Previously, interval ownership was only allowed as a conditional use in the High
density Multi-family Zone District.
On October 5, 1999, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999,
amending the development standards prescribed in the Public Accommodation Zone District.
The amendments included an increase in allowable GRFA up to 150%, an increase in site
coverage, the elimination of AU's and FFU's in the calculation of density, revised setback
requirements, and other various aspects in the development of properties zoned Public
Accommodation. The allowable building height, landscape area and limitation on commercial
square footage remained unchanged.
IV. ZONING ANALYSIS
The development standards for a Special Development District shall be proposed by the
appticant. Development standards including lot area, site dimensions, setbacks, height, density
control, site coverage, landscaping and parking and loading shall be determined by the Town
Council as part of the approved development plan, with consideration of the recommendations of
the Planning and Environmental Commission. Before the Town Council approves development
standards that deviate from the underfying zone district, it shall be determined that such
deviations provide benefits to the Town that outweigh the effects of such deviations. This
determination is to be made based upon the evaluation of the proposed Special Development
District's compliance with the Review Criteria outlined in the following section.
The Community Development Department staff has prepared a Zoning Analysis for the proposed
Vail Plaza Hotel. The Zoning Analysis compares the development standards outlined by the
underlying zoning of Public Accommodation (revised), to the existing development, the
applicanYs proposed 1998 major amendment and the 1999 major amendment. It is important to
note that the comparison is based on the entire area of the Special Development District.
A copy of the analysis has been attached for reference.
For comparative purposes, the Community Development Department has also completed an
analysis comparing the 1998 proposal to the current 1999 proposal. The purpose of the analysis
is to provide a direct comparison of the 1998 proposal that was rejected by the Vail Town Council
to the applicant's revised proposal.
A copy of the analysis has been attached for reference.
V. THE SPECtAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT MAJOR AMENDMENT PROCESS
Chapter 12-9 of the Town Code provides for the amendment of existing Special Development
Districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1, the purpose of a Special
Development District is,
°To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of
the new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
4
provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overail goals of the community as stated in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development
District, in conjunction with the properties underlying zone district, shall establish
the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the
Special Development District."
According to Section 12-9A-2, a major amendment to a Special Development District is defined
as,
"Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential ftoor area; change the
number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any
approved special development district (other than "minor amendments" as defined
in this Section), except as provided under Sections 12-15-4, "Interior Conversions",
or 12-15-5, "Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance)" of this Title."
The Town Code provides a framework for the amendment of a Special Development District.
According to the Town Code, prior to site preparation, building construction, or other
improvements to land within a Special Development District, there shall be an approved
development plan for the Special Development District. The approved development plan
establishes requirements regulating development, uses and activity within the Special
Development District.
Upon final review of a proposed major amendment of an existing Special Development District, a
report from the Planning and Environmental Commission stating its findings and
recommendations and a staff report shall be forwarded to the Town Council, in accordance with
the provisions listed in Section 12-16-6 of the Town Code. The Town Council°s consideration of
the Special Development District shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Town Code
and approved by two readings of an ordinance.
An approved development plan is the principal document in guiding the development, uses, and
activities of the Special Development District. The development plan shall contain all relevant
material and information necessary to establish the parameters with which the Special
Development District shall adhere. The development plan may consist of, but not be limited to:
the approved site plan; floor plans, building sections, and elevations: vicinity plan; parking plan;
preliminary open space/landscape plan; densities; and permitted, conditional, and accessory
uses.
The determination of permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be made by the Planning
and Environmental Commission and Town Council as part of the formal review of the proposed
development plan. Unless further restricted through the review of the proposed Special
Development District, permitted, conditional and accessory uses shall be limited to those
permitted, conditional and accessory uses in the property's underlying zone district.
The Town Code provides nine design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria in
evaluating the merits of the proposed major amendment to a Special Development District. It
shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed
development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more
of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved. The nine SDD review criteria below:
~ 5
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, builc9ing height,
buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship uwith surrounding uses and activity.
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of
the Town of Wail Municipal Code.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the speciat development district is proposed.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a funictional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and
off-site traffic circulation.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
1. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the speciat development
district.
VI. DISCUSSION ISSUES
The Town of Vail staff has completed a preliminary review of the plans submitted fo"r the
redevelopment of the 'Vail Village Inn. Upon the completion of our review, which included input
and analysis from Jeff Winston of Winston & Associates, the Town's urban design consultant, a
number of issues with regard to the proposal have been identified. The Community Development
Department would recommend that the Planning & Environmental Commission, the staff and the
applicant engage in a dialogue on the issues that have beeri identified. The purpose of the
discussion is not to re solve each of the issues at the meeting. Instead, the purpose of the
discussion is to continue the dialogue and provide an opportunity for all interested parties to have
their issues and concerns heard.
Proposed Development Standards/Site Ptanninq
The development starudards for the redevelopment of Phase IV, Vail Village Inn are prescribed
and outlined in existiny development plans and the underlying zoning of Public Accommodation.
The most recent redeuelopment application proposes deviations from the existing development
plan and the underlying zoning. Areas of deviations include building height, setbacks, parking,
and accommodation unit requirements. As outlined in Section 12-9A of the Town Code, it shall
be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that any deviation from the development standards
6
~
of the underlying zoning provide public benefits that outweigh the adverse effect of said
deviation.
Upon review of the proposed plans, an inspection of the development site, and the guidelines
and recommendations outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan, the staff would suggest that the
following changes be considered:
1. Vail Road Setback:
The western portion of the hotel to be located along Vail Road should be revised to
comply with the twenty-foot setback requirement. As currently designed there is only a
six-foot setback for a thirty-seven to forty-two foot tall building fagade along Vail Road.
The six-foot setback allows for only twenty to twenty-five feet of landscape area between
the back of curb and the face of the building. The Vail Village Master Plan specifically
addresses the heights of building facades and their relationship to the street edge. In the
case of Vail Plaza Hotel it appears desirable to either reduce the height of the building
fagade along Vail Road and/or increase the building setback. Staff suggesis that both
alternatives be explored by the applicant for future review and consideration.
2. Height:
The maximum overall height of the hotel, excluding the architectural projection atop the
elevator tower is seventy-three feet. The maximum height permitted by the recently
amended development standards for the Public Accommodation zone district remained at
forty-eight feet. The Vail Village Master recommends a maximum building height for the .
Vail Village Inn development site of four to five stories with the building stepping-down at
the street. The applicant is proposing six stories (one of which is located in the roof).
While staff believes the development site can accommodate the proposed maximum
building height, staff does not feel that the current design with the maximum height along
the north edge of the site adjacent to the Gateway Building is appropriate. Staff would
recommend that the greatest vertical mass of the building be located more towards the
center of the site and that the proposed east/west orientation of the "lobby" building be re-
oriented in a north/south direction. A re-orientation of the building would locate the
greatest vertical building mass in the center of the development where it is perceived less
and open up additional opportunities for light and air to reach into the space between the
hotel and the Gateway Building.
3. Greenspace/Pedestrian Courtvard:
The Vail Viilage Master Plan recommends a greenspace wrapped with ground-level
commercial space be created within the District. Through the development of Phases I-III
and V this concept has been developed. The hotel proposal furthers this concept,
however, staff believes that this opportunity is not fully captured. The proposed pool and
pool deck area compromises much of the site which could otherwise be developed into
greenspace and pedestrian area. The current pool deck design leaves only marginal
pedestrian sidewalks around the north side of the commercial spaces in Phases I& II.
Further, the pool deck is proposed to be twenty feet below the plaza and sidewalk above.
Given the heights and orientation of the commercial buildings to the south of the pool
area, depth of the pool below grade and the sizes of the landscaping proposed around
the south side of the pool, staff has questioned the desirability and viability of the outdoor
pool itself. Staff feels the pool will receive only marginal amounts of direct sunlight, that
the depth of the pool below grade will create a very noisy sound chamber lacking privacy
7
and views and that the size of the pool deck area significantly impacts the pedestrian
circulation throughout the development site. Staff would suggest that the pool deck size
and elevation be explored in hopes of creating a more desirable pool deck and improved
pedestrian circulation throughout the site.
4. BuildinQ Entrance on Vail Road:
The Vail Village Master Plan encourages identifiable entrances to buildings and
properties to acknowledge entrances and welcome guests. Staff feels that this has not
been done with the current design. The current design proposes that the building .
significantly encroaches upon the-street and that the entrance to the hotel be side loaded
off a corridor between the hotel and the Phase V condominiums. The entrance appears
to be hidden and out of the way. The actual front door to the lobby is tucked in more than
fifty-five feet from the face of the building. The lack of adequate landscape area and an
identifiable architectural feature at the front entrance further hinders the sense of arrival.
Staff would suggesC that along with maintaining the twenty-foot setback along Vail Road,
the current design be explored for opportunities to redesign the front driveway and drop-
off area. The redesign should to improve the streetscape of Vail Road and create a
greater sense of arrival.
5. Accommodation Unit ReQUirement:
The existing development plan for the Vail Village Inn Special Development District
requires a minimum of one-hundred and forty-eight accommodation units. The
redevelopment proposal anticipates a total of one-hundred and one (101) accommodation
units and forty-four (44) part-time fractional fee club units. The fractional fee units are
considered part-time as the hotel will retain ownership of the units during the summer
months to rent as short-term accommodations for guest and visitors. Staff believes that
the spirit and intent of the minimum accommodation unit requirement is being met with
the current proposal. The hotel will operate with a 24-hour front desk having reservation
and registration capabilities. To further insure availability and occupancy of the fractional
fee club units during the winter months, staff would recommend that the applicant be
required to make the units available for short-term occupancy when not in use by club
members. Staff suggests that the applicant and Commission discuss the minimum
accommodation unit requirement and the opportunities for short-term use of the club units
when unoccupied by club members.
6. DesiQn Review Board Issues:
On Wednesday, October 6, 1999, the Town of Vail Design Review Board conceptually
reviewed the proposed plans for the Vail Plaza Hotel. The following is a list of the
comments expressed by the Board members:
¦ Where is the front entry?
• The proposed parking at the front entry conflicts with the flow and circulation of the
area. ¦ A more pedestrian-oriented and mare inviting design should be proposed for the front
entrance.
¦ The proposed corner element located on the southeast corner of the hotel is confining
and restricts pedestrian flow and circufation.
¦ The proposed corner element should be redesigned to be incorporated into the hotel.
8
• The spaces between the existing buildings (Phase III, Phase V, Gateway) should be
addressed. The current design results in unattractive and unpleasant alleyways.
¦ More pedestrian-scale needs to be introduced around the lower two or three ffoors of
the hotel.
¦ The traffic flow in the area between the hotel and Phase V is awkward.
• The pedestrian circulation through the District is constricted by the pool area design.
¦ The pool looks like it will be an unpleasant space due to noise, shade, dirt, lack of
privacy, etc.
¦ Break up the north elevation along the South Frontage Road.
• The building should step down more along Vail Road.
• The roof form atop the two towers should match the form and steepness of the
existing towers in the District.

ke: Vail Plaza fTotel
George:
This lcltcr is to address design criteria A thraugh I as outlined in section 18.40.080 of the town code. It is
our undet5tanding that ihese nine (9) criteria are to be used in evaluating the merits of the Vail Plaza Hotel,
the final phase 4f the Vail Village Inn Special Development Disttict
A. Design Compatibility. We believe that khe hotel is designed in such a way that is both compatible and
sensitive to the environment, neighborhood, and adjaeent praperties.
Setbacks are consistent with the underlying zoning in that they maintain an average of twrenty feet
(20') from most adjacent praperties to the primary building walls. Addi6onally, the structure maintains
, setbacks consistent with adjacent properues along both the Frontagc Road and Vail Road.
Mass and bnik are sensitive to adjacent structures in that the hotel is designed to step up in height
and bulk from both the 5trcet and adjacent smaller smictures in order to maintain a comfortable
pedestrian scale while maintaining coz?sistent heights with ad}acent structuxes roof lines and ridges.
Additionally, we have purposefully hipped most of the roof forms at or along public streets and plazas
lo provide a consistent bulk plane at street level. The stepping and broken ridge lines, along with
variations in materials and wa11 planes act to break down the overall mass and bulk of the project and
relate the hotel to the surrounding neighborhood.
The architectural design is meant to be both comparible with both the Cyateway building and the
rema.indcr of the special development district while providing some idenrity to the hotel as both a
recogni2able and viablc cotnmercial stiructure within the community-
B. Uses, Density, and A,etivity. The Vail P19za Hotel is the last phase of the Vail Villege Inn Special
pevelopment District and as such was always meant to he the anchox or most densely developed '
portion of the disUrict. As a fiill service hotel, which includes conference, spa, restaurant, and
commercial activities, the hotel meant to act as a"magneY' that draws people through the other
smaller, comznercial based SUructures in the speciai developme:nt district, (includins tbe Gateway
buildins). Additionally, the hotel is legally xequired to provide laading and delivery services,
automobile access, and parking for the remainder of the special development district.
C. Parking and Laading. We believe our loading facilities are in compliance vuith the requirements of
chapter 18.52. We are providing six (6), 12' x 25' loading berths. 'fhc maximum required is ftve (5) 12' x 25'
berths in accordanee with 18.52.150. We believe our parking facilities meet the needs of the special
development district of which it is a part.

WC dre proposing to provide all pazking required by zaning chapter 18.52 for our hotel and thirty
five, (35), of an existing seventy fivc, (75) space deficit left by previous development in the district It
is aur belie£ that the znixed-use reduction in the curccnt zoning ordinance may not be adequate or
correctly applied to the overall special development disticict. In addition, vve feel that the requuernents
for parking, especially with regard to dwelling units that act as fi-achon fee units, (which are not
addressed by cwrent zoning), nnay be excessive. .
D. Confonnity with Master Plan. Wc bclicvE our development substantially complies with the goaLs
expressed in the various plans contained with{» the adopted Vail ViUage Mastet Plan.
rhe Land Use Plan indicates our site as Medium/High Density Residential and as such
rc;eummends a lodging onenration with a limited amount of accessory retail.
We are proposing to provide an increased amount of "urban open space" or public plaza and
buffering greenspace in the areas indicated as such in 7'he Open SpaCe Plan_
We believe that our project complies with the recommendations in Tfie Parking and Cirealation
Plan. We are ptoposing an intcmal conncction to the Vail Gateway shared pedestrian/auto area as
indicated, an improved pedeslrian connection to East Mc;adow Drivc including new bus facilities as
indicated, and a secondary external pedeslrian connection to Vai1 Road between phase five and our
project_ Additionally we would be providing sidewalk improvements from the new bus stop on East
Meadow llrive to the Gateway on Vail Road, and Bike/Pedestrian sidewalk improvements frorn the
Vail Crateway to the Vail Transportabon Center on the Frontage Road.
We believe that our design substantxally complies with Building Height Plan in that the plan
indicates buildings of frve stories both t4 the east and west of our site along the frontage road attd r?ozth
and south of our site on Vail Road. Our design maintains this four to five story relarionship with our
neighbors. We feel as though the threc to four story designation is ineonsistent with current conditions
amd are not applicable as they zelate t.o ow site. It is our wnderstanding that these heights indicatcd in
the plan were based on preserving views to Vail Mountain from the fotu way stop at the intersection of
Vail Road and the Frontage Road prior to development of the Vail Gateway and the Roundabouts_
Because these views no longer exist with the develogment of the Vail Gateway as aclmowledged in the
plan, and because stopping to vicw the mountain is actually discouraged by the movement of haffic in
the roundabout, we feeI that these standards may no longer apply.
The Aclion Plan indicates our site as an area for potential residtntialllodging infill in accordance
with previous town approvals with which owr proposed project is oonsistent-
, The Yari! Vllage Sub-Areas 1-I of the Yail Yillage Masfer Plan indicates our site as the final
phase of SDD #6. In doing so, it identifies a series of goals, which we bclieve we comply with.
Iiein 1.2 encotuages "tlae upgcading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilitie5_"
Item 2_3 "strongly encourages the development short term accommodation units" and recognizes that
when units are "developed above the existing density levels, they should be managed in such a way
that allows for short teim overnight rental":
Item 2.4 c,acouzabes the developnnent of neW commexcial infill cpmpatible with existing land uses_
Icene 2.6 encourages the development of affordable housing units and may be requued as part of any
redevelopment project requesting a density over levels allowed by existing aoning.
ltem 3.2 recognizcs the will to "rcduce vehicular traffic in the village to the greatest extent possible"_
11em 4.1 eneourages the improvement of existing open space to create new plazas with greenspace.
- ltem 5.1 recognizes the need and desire to provide for parking demands on site and with underground
anci visually conaealed parking.
ltem 61 recognizes the need to provide service and delivery facilities for existing and new
development.

E. N2tvral Hazards. W e believe there arc no natural hazards that may affect development of this site.
F. Site and Building Design. We believe we have addresscd this issue by connpliance with the Vail
Village Master Plan_
G. Pedestrian/Vehaeular Circulafion. We believe wc ha've ad.dressed this issue by compliance with the
Vai] Viilage Master Plan. Additionally, tYaffic studies indicate that vehiculaz circulation pattems are
eonsidered safe and have relatively little impact on existing vehiculat circulation systems.
H. Funetional and A,esthetie Landscaping. We beiieve we have addressed this issue by compliance
with the Vail Village Master Ylan. Additionally, we believe we have substantially improved on the
amount and quality publicly aeecssible plar,as, greenspaces, and pedestrian circulation systems.
1. Phasing Plan. The dcvelopment will be constructed in one phase with compledon anticipated for late
fall of 2001.

L INTRODUCTION
Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc.. was retained by the developers of the proposed Vail
Plaza Hotel Project (the "Hotel") to analyze the incremental municipal revenues that could accrue
to the Town,of Vail (the "Town") as a direct result of the construction and completion of the
Hotel.
The incremental Town revenues that could be generated from the Hotel are based upon
the assumption that buildings 3, 4, and 5 of the existing Vail Village Inn are replaced with the
Hotel as set forth in the following chart.

II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Exhibit I, which appears on the following page, presents a summary of the iricremental
revenue impacts to the Town generated from the Hotel. Exhibit I presents (i) a summary of the
significant recurring incremental Town revenues upon comp(etion of the Hotel; (ii) a summary of
non-recurring incremental Town building permit related revenues generated during the
construction period and real estate transfer tax revenues generated from the initial sales of
Fractional Club units; and (iii) other significant information such as incremental skier days,
taxable sales and assessed valuation. Exhibit I relates all revenue impacts to the 1999 Town
budget so that readers of this report will be better able to understand the re(ative magnitude of the
forecasted incremental revenues. A concise -narrative summary of Exhibit I is presented in the
following paragraphs:
o Recurring incremental Town revenues generated from the Hotel are forecasted to be
$907,188 and represent approximately 3.7% of the Town's 1999 budgeted revenues.
o Recurring incremental Town sales tax revenues generated from the Hotel aze forecasted
to be $718,927 and represent approximately 4.6% of the Town's 1999 budgeted revenues.

C. SALES TAX REVENUES
1. It is assumed that an average of 1.75 persons will occupy each hotel room
80% of the year, and that the average hotel room rate will be $190.
2. It is assumed that an average of six persons will occupy the Fractional Club
Units retained by the developers of the Hotel for rental purposes (i.e., the
portion of each Fractional Club Unit expected to be rented for 24 weeks
during the "shoulder seasons" of the year). An 80% occupancy rate and an
average nightly rate of $500 is e:cpected.
3. It is assumed that an average of six persons will occupy the Fractional Club
' Units expected to be sold as weekly intervals. A 90% occupancy rate is
assumed and these units are expected to be used by the owners or their guests
(i.e., no sales taxable rental income has been assumed although it is likely that
some owners will rent their respective weekly intervals).
4. It is assumed that each hotel and Fractional Club guest will spend an average
of $100 per day for sales taxable food, beverage, and retail related items. T,his
assumed daily spending rate is supported by a survey conducted by RRC in
1996 and 1998.

FORD PARK IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY AT MANOR VAIL COVERED BRIDGE -
(Vail)--The entrance to Ford Park at the Manor Vail Covered Bridge is being overhauled this
fall to comply with accessibility requirements and to improve safety conditions for white water
activities in Gore Creek. The work includes raising the bridge approximately three-and-a-half
feet and rebuilding both approach walks. The contractor, Site Resource Management of Eagle,
began construction Oct. 4 and will continue work through November. The pedestrian bridge has
been closed to all traffic during the construction; it will be reopened in December during the
winter season. The Nature Center Bridge, one-fourth mile east of Manor Vail, and the
streamwalk will both remain open and are recommended as alternative access routes to. Ford
Park during the construction.
The $178,000 project was identified as part of the Ford Park Master Plan revision completed in
April 1997.
Currently, the bridge's elevation causes the pedestrian approaches on both sides to drop
sharply to meet the bridge. Those walkways are steeper than allowed by accessibility standards
and are sometimes dangerous when icy, according to Todd Oppenheimer, Town of Vail parks
superintendent. In addition, he says the distance between the bottom of the bridge and peak
flow water levels presents a hazard for white water activities below.
When completed, the work will bring the approach walks within the standards for accessibility
and will allow for more clearance under the bridge during peak runoff periods, according to
Oppenheimer.
Bridge jacking and concrete abutments will be completed by the end of November with the
final paving of the approach walks occurring next spring.
For more information, contact Oppenheimer at 479-2161.

Work Session Briefs
Councit members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Clariflcation and Potential Changes to the Town of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines
With 11 housing lotteries under the town's belt and no lotteries currently underway, Housing
Coordinator Nina Timm asked Council for direction regarding possible revisions to the
qualification guidelines for Vail's employee housing program. The Council clarified and/or
agreed to pursue the following:
• the lottery will continue to be limited exclusively to those who do not currently own real
estate in Eagle County (several homeowners from downvalley had expressed interest in
participating in the lottery to move back to Vail and there had been interest by owners of
1-bedroom units in Vail wanting to move into larger units)
• prohibit use of a quit-claim deed mechanism from one partner to the other or to a trust or
business to enable lottery eligibility
• continue to consider an equitable weighting system for longevity that accounts for those
who move away, then return versus the current system of only counting current or
. consecutive years of living in Vail
• allow full standing in the lottery for full-time students pursuing education elsewhere so
long as residency is retained through a drivers license and voter registration; this
standing would be good for an unlimited number of years so long as the applicant can
prove corresponding full-time student status
• Use federal tax return forms to determine the number of dependents claimed by a family;
this would be required to meet the minimum family size requirement (3 people for a 3-
bedroom home)
• pregnancy can be counted towards meeting the minimum family size requirement as long
as there is a note from an Eagle County doctor
• explore possible revisions to the currently approved capital improvements requirements
• explore the creation of caps on income and assets to exclude participation in the lottery
by those who can afford to buy housing on the open market
• when there is a clear winner of the lottery, award the unit at the time points are
determined
• create a permanent reserve list of qualified buyers for resale units and update the list
annually; create separate reserve lists according to unit size
During discussion, Diana Donovan, a council candidate, objected to the town's employment
requirement of an average of 30 hours a week, saying the requirement should be 40 hours a
week. But most councilmembers said the 30 hour requirement was more reflective of the

seasonal nature of many resort jobs. For more information, contact Nina Timm at 479-2144.
--Employee Housing Unit Standards
The Council reviewed a list of potential revisions to the Town Code intended to improve private
sector interest in creating employee housing units (EHUs) within the town's residential zone
districts. The list was triggered by citizen suggestions during the Vail Tomorrow and Common
Ground processes to remove barriers and improve incentives. After a presentation by Chief
Planner pominic Mauriello that included recommended changes such as reducing minimum lot
sizes for employee housing units, allowing for 250 credits and removal of garage requirements
for EHUs, Councilmembers asked for additional discussion opportunities before preparing the
• changes in ordinance form. The Council directed staff to look at provisions requiring EHU's on
large lots with large homes. During discussion, Diana Donovan, a council candidate, expressed
concerns about the proposed changes, saying the town shouldn't be involved in providing
incentives for property upgrades because it artificially inflates property values. For more
information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148.
--De-Annexation of U.S. Forest Service Properties
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council reviewed an ordinance that would de-annex
six federally-owned parcels in the Town of Vail to complete the 1997 land ownership adjustment
agreement between the town and the U.S. Forest Service. For details, see evening meeting
briefs.
--Budget Review -
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council reviewed an ordinance adopting the 2000
fiscal year budget. In so doing, the Council clarified its intent to leave the Park Free After 3
program in tact for another season. See evening meeting briefs for details.
--Supplemental Budget Review
See evening meeting briefs for details.
--Public Accommodation Zone District Amendments
In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council received public comment from Jim Lamont of
the East Village Homeowners Association regarding this ordinance and agreed to modify the
measure to accommodate concerns from the homeowners association. See evening meeting
briefs for details.

--Review of Youth Recognition Award Winners' Trip to Australia
The Council heard from Emily Sargent and Jared Staber, winners of the 1999 Vail Youth
Ambassador Award, sponsored by the Town of Vail. Sargent, a senior at Battle Mountain High
School and Staber, a senior at Vail Mountain School, traveled to Mt. Buller, Australia during the
summer in recognition of their student achievement. Both said they had a memorable
experience and are planning a return visit soon. Selection of the 2000 award winners will be
announced next spring.

--Consent Agenda
The Council voted 7-0 to approve the meeting minutes of Sept. 7 and Sept. 21, as well as
appointment of Karen Morter, Jeannie Tilkmeier, Mary Jo Allen and Vi Brown as election judges
for Nov. 2 Town of Vail regular municipal election which is an at-the-polls election to be held at
the Vail Municipal Building.
--Town of Vail 2000 Budget
The Council voted 6-1 (Foley against) on first reading to approve an ordinance approving a
$34.3 million annual budget for 2000. The budget includes a 5 percent projected increase in
sales tax collections over 1999 as well as $500,000 in expense cuts due to elimination of 9.6 full
time equivalent positions. Although the 2000 budget shows a year-end surplus of $6,000 in the
general fund, the town's five-year financial projection shows deficit spending of $1 million by
2003. As a result, Finance Director Steve Thompson said the need for new revenue sources
and/or additional cuts in expenses will remain a priority in preparation of the next biennial budget
for 2001-2002. In voting against approval of the 2000 budget, as he did during the 1999 budget
process, Foley repeated a concern that the budget cuts didn't go far enough. For more
information, contact Finance Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116.
--Amendment to Town of Vail Employees' Pension Plan
The Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of an ordinance to amend the Town of Vail
employees' pension plan in compliance with changes in federal law and to allow for daily
valuations of participant accounts.
--Amendment to Town of Vaif Police and Fire Employees' Pension Plan
Similarly, the Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of this ordinance, which also reflects
compliance with changes in federal law and to allow for daily valuations of participant accounts.
--Supplemental Budget Appropriation
The Council voted 7-0 to approve first reading of a supplemental appropriation to the 1999
budget, which reduces the overall budget by $150,781 due to the reduction of $1.9 million in
capital projects as a result of slow revenue growth. For more information, contact Finance
Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116.
--De-Annexation of U.S. Forest Service Properties
The Council voted 7-0 to approve an ordinance on first reading to de-annex six federally-owned
parcels from the Town of Vail boundaries. The parcels are owned by the U.S. Forest Service.
De-annexation will complete a land ownership adjustment agreement signed in 1997 between
the town and the U.S. Forest Service. By exchanging lands of like-value, the town was able to
swap three parcels totaling 74 acres to the Forest Service in exchange for 11 properties totaling
62 acres from tMe Forest Service for the purpose of resolving boundary conflicts. So when six
federal parcels remained within the town's boundaries and no remaining town-owned lands to be
swapped of like-value, the 1997 agreement included a de-annexation provision for the remaining
parcels. Those lands include Trapper's Run in West Vail, Parcel H in East Vail and Parcel C by
Lift 1. For more information, contact Russell Forrest, Community Development Director, at 479-
2146.
--Public Accommodation Zone District Amendments
The Council voted 6-1 (Navas against) to approve a modified ordinance on second reading to
amend the Public Accommodation Zone District. The ordinance codifies increased development
(more)
!
s
Add 3/TOV Council Highlights/10-5-99
standards that have been approved through recent Special Development Districts. The changes
apply to 17 properties, mostly in the Vail Village area. Proposed by Johannes Faessler of the
Sonnenalp, the updated development standards are intended to reduce an applicant's reliance
on the Special Development District process, thereby eliminating uncertainties and last-minute
negotiations. The ordinance was modified during the afternoon work session after Jim Lamont
of the East Village Homeowners Association expressed concerns about a provision that would
have allowed increases in a building's commercial space allocation as a conditional use.
Lamont argued successfully that increased eommercial space may not be compatible in
surrounding residential neighborhoods and the provision was eliminated from the ordinance.
Also at Lamont's suggestion, loading and delivery was added to the list of examples that could
be required of off-site impact fees. During public discussion, Diana Donovan, a former Planning and Environmental Commission member, urged the Council to vote against the ordinance. She
described the measure as inappropriate, saying it was a rezoning matter rather an amendment.
In voting against the ordinance, Navas reiterated her concern regarding an amendment to the
urban design guide plan that was included within the ordinance. Following Council's approval of
the ordinance, Johannes Faessler thanked the Council. He said approval will now send a signal
to people that it's OK to "start dreaming again." Jim Lamont thanked the Council for its spirit of
compromise and urged the town to move forward with an update of the Vail Village Master Plan.
For additional information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department
at 479-2145.
--Temporary Use of the Vacated VRD Space at the Vail Public Library
The Council voted 7-0 to authorize an application for a conditional use permit to convert the
basement of the Vail Public Library, which is currently empty following consolidation of offices by
the Vail Recreation District, into temporary housing for 5 Town of Vail seasonal bus drivers.
Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer presented the concept, which includes spending
approximately $10,000 to convert the space into 5 bedrooms with a shared kitchen, living space
and bath. The cost of the conversion could be recouped through monthly rental fees, she said.
The additional bedrooms are essential, Brandmeyer said, since the town has already lost 2
potential bus driver candidates to other jobs tied with housing. Councilmembers called the
concept "brilliant" and expressed confidence that compatibility concerns expressed by Library
Director Annie Fox could be addressed appropriately. The conditional use proposal will be
heard by the Planning and Environmental Commission at its Oct. 25 meeting. Adjacent property
owners will be notified. For more information, contact Brandmeyer at 479-2113.
--Information Update
Announcements included: the 5 year TOV employee recognition dinner will be held Oct. 28; the
Open Space Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Oct. 7 in the Council Chambers; and Council
candidate forums and discussions are scheduled for Oct. 12 and Oct. 18.
--Council Reports
Noting that Aspen was pursuing a ban on the use of cellular phones while driving, Kevin Foley
wondered if the Vail Town Council would be interested in such a pursuit. Bob Armour suggested
monitoring Aspen's efforts a while longer before launching a discussion in Vail.
Ludwig Kurz announced Eagle County's acceptance of a counter-offer by the Eagle County
Recreation Authority to sell the Berry Creek 5th parcel. The agreement, which includes an
eventual intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the Town of Vail and Eagle County for
development of the affordable housing component on the property, represents the first time the
(more) _

town and Eagle County have come together as partners to develop afFordable housing. In
response to a question from Bob Armour, Kurz said proceeds from the sale of a portion of the
property to the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority will be kept in escrow to be used as seed
money by Eagle County for recreational purposes on a 1-to-1 matching basis. Armour called the
transaction a "win-win."
Michael Jewett noted that he had attended the Eagle County Commissioners meeting in which
approval of the counter-offer for Berry Creek Fifth was unanimously approved and that spirits
were high.
Sybill Navas provided an update on the town's wayfinding project in which directional signs for
vehicles and pedestrians will be improved. She said a full presentation wouid be made to the
Town Council in November outlining the proposed improvements. Navas also noted a recent
dinner which was held with elected officials from Mammoth Lakes, Calif. The group r,vas touring
Vail, Beaver Creek and other nearby resorts as part of a fact-finding retreat.
--Other
Michael Amett congratulated those involved in the Berry Creek Fifth negotiations, while
'Bob Armour thanked the town for repairing a clock in the Council Chambers. Sybill Navas
inquired about the status of a study on the impact of magnesium chloride, noting that Aspen may
be using a new chemical this winter as a de-icer. Michael Jewett inquired about an agenda for
Thursday's Open Space Committee meeting, while Kevin Foley concluded the meeting by
wishing the Denver Broncos luck.

Mayor Rob Ford
Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Rob:
I needed to bring to light a situation that I believe needs attention from all aspects of town
planners and city officials.
Qver the past few years, the Towii has made great efforts and strides and should be
complemented on their management of traffic flow into and out of the Vail Village core
area. Most of the traffic coming into the roundabout and coming up Vail Road has been
furuieled into not only the Lodge, but also all of the residents and guests that are staying
in Vail Village, which has been handled very well.
The problem that I beiieve needs immediate attention is the growth and success of the
Sonnenalp Hotel, which I also very much applaud. However it has brouaht with it a
special set of problems relating to the safety issue that I am hopeful you will all be able to
resolve in the near future. I want to encourage all of the town officials and planners to
look vezy carefully at all future expansions so that on a long-term basis, we will not have
similar additional problems.
The problem is as follows. On most any given morning and particularly after busy
business times, such as weekends or holiday periods, it is necessary for the Sonnenalp
Hotel to bring in znany service vehicles. These vehicles all seem to enter the building
from a very small service area located directly across from the Chapel on Vail Road.
Many mornings when I am taking my two children to school at approximately 8 o'clock,
I will find sometimes as many as four service trucks parked on both sides of the road.
This completely closes the northbound lane causing all cars to have to go over the double
lines into the oncoming traffic lanes to go around the service trucks. Many times it is a
situation of Cisco trucks, milk service trucks or beer delivery that are blocking off the one
lane entirely.
Recently is also been trucks parking on both sides of the bridge where they attempt to
pull half of their load off the road and up on the sidewalk. I know frorn being a taYpayer,
I am not enthused to see extremely heavy trucks sitting on sidewalk pavers that the Town
spent a very high amount of money paving and laying bricks that make the walkways
look wonderful. The thin slab and the brick veneer were never meant to accommodate
multi-ton, service trucks and vehicles. The fact is that it still blocks the bridge and
therefore people are pulling out into oncoming traffic.

There are also many instances when the vehicles are picking up and dropping off trash
and they are using extremely large containers, which then literally closes off both lanes
for a few minutes. This is totally unacceptable, as there is no fire andlor ambulance
egress in or out of the Village.
The purpose of my letter is not to cause any difficulties for the Sonnenalp Hotel, which I
believe, is a wonderful asset to the core of Vail Village. I wanted to draw the safety and
planning people's awareness to a very dangerous situation. I am positive that in all of
the guidelines that are published for safe driving, it is not listed to crossover double lines
when a beer truck is blocking the other lane. Therefore I would ask that the Town of Vail
immediately have the practice of blocking the lanes, while the deliveries are made
changed to some other safer form of delivery system. If the trucks cannot pull off of the
street and into the delivery bay, I might suggest they need to determine another off load
area or staging area. Either the Sonnenalp may have to pick up their supplies or the
trucks need to stager their delivery times to be able to do to drop off in a safer manner so
that the Vail public is not exposed to a hazardous situation.
Further I would ask that you look very carefully at all future planning so that we do not
create other major arteries being choked off by commercial service trucks. I do accept
and fully understand that this is a process that we all must work together, as it certainly is
beneficial to the Town of Vail to have such wonderful assets as the Sonnenalp. However,
at the cost of safety, I think more review needs to be made.
Having been a 20-year resident and a proponent of good control in growth throughout our
Village, I know this problem is not an easy one. I am hopeful that the wisdom of the
police force, the council and future planning staff will work to eliminate any potential
hazards that we may accidentally creaCe.
Please don't hesitate to call for further discussion on this issue.
/Sincerely,
J
Ron Byrne }

RE: Wildland Fire Update (Vail)-About 40 residents were allowed to return to their homes at 6 p.m. today after
being evacuated earlier in the day following a wildland fire which broke out about
1:15 p.m. on a hillside in West Vail above the Safeway store on the north side of 1-70 on
U.S. Forest Service land.
As of 6 p.m., the status of the tire was reported to be about 40 percent contained by
District Ranger Bill Wood of the White River National Forest. An estimated 20 acres
have burned.
Fire crews are being pulled off the fire lines at 7 p.m.; crews wiil return to the fire lines
Sunday morning. Two hand crews from the U.S. Forest Service have been dispatched
from Steamboat Springs and Rapid City, S.D., and will be un the lines Sunday.
Earlier in the day, an air tanker from Pocatello, Idaho, made two slurry drops of fire
retardant to protect homes nearest to the fire, located about one-fourth mile away. Also, a
helicopter contracted by the Forest Service was used to drop water on the fire. Those
operations were being discontinued for the day at dusk.
Around 3 p.m., Vail Police began a voluntary evacuation of residents along Circle
Dc•ive, Vai1 Point and The Valley, r-epresenting about 100 homes, as a precautionary
measure. They were allowed to return 3 hours later. Vail Fire Chief John Gulick says
the threat to structures within the Town of Vail is now very minimal.
The tire began in a small area about 500 yards above a residential street in Vail, tlien
grew to about 20 acres during the afternoon as winds gusted up to 20 miles per hour.
The cause of the fire is under investigation; however, officials suspect a power line
located near where the fire started may have been the cause.
No injuries have been reported.
In addition to the U.S. Forest Service, fire crews responding to the scene came from the
following agencies and districts: Vail; Copper Mountain; Snake River; Red, White &
. Blue, Eagle, Gypsum, Avon, Minturn and a team from Vail Resorts.

Town of Vail

Dear Mr. McLaurin:
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Town of Vail for the extraordinary cooperation
and professional support we received from several of your departments during the West Vail Fire
on October 9, 10, and 11.
• Fire Chief John Gulick and his Department staff were particularly valuable in our mutual ef-
forts. The Department provided initial attack, structural protection, and helispot safety.
Chief Gulick personally participated on the Command Staff as Planning Officer and ar-
ranged for mutual aid from other Eagle County and Summit County Fire Departments. He
. and Deputy Chief Mike McGee arranged for firefighters to use the Town Council Chambers
for sleeping and to use the showers in the Police Station.
• Public Information Officer Suzanne Silverthorne contributed greatly in fielding telephone
calls from the public and the media and in producing and faxing press releases. On Sunday,
she came all the way from her home in Gypsum to fax the final press release to her media
contact list.
• Police Chief Greg Morrison made his officers available to provide traffic control and to pro-
vide for public safety while the helicopter was using Chamonix Road.
• Community Development Director Russell Forrest allowed the use of a Town van for shut-
tling firefighters.
The support of these individuals and their staffs contributed to a highly successful fire suppres-
sion effort that ended with no property damage and only one minor firefighter injury.

Dear Mayor Ford and Town Council Members:
As a property owner effected by the Faessler Public Accommodation Zone District
amendment, we object to the passage of this ordinance in its present form and to
the procedures being used for its consideration. It is our position that the
magnitude of changes being proposed by the Faessler amendment should be
considered within the context of the Vail Village Master Plan. Deviations from or
changes to the plan, including the imposition of design standards, must be
amended to the Master Plan after first being adequately addressed and subject to
timely public comment and review.
We further object to the degree of increase in residential and commercial densities,
the potential for store front retail uses and the expansion of commercial uses in
established residential neighborhoods, the use of impact fees to finance
improvements which are prohibited by covenant on stream tract land. It is our
desire that issues regarding parking, loading and delivery, traffic congestion,
architectural design standards, employee housing, associated public improvements
and the location of on-street retail commercial be carefully considered within the
context of the Vail Village Master Plan prior to the adoption of these or similar
amendments.
We request the Town Council to reject the amendment on second reading.
incerely, .

Vail Library Director
VAIL LIBRARY COMMUNITY ROOM TO BE RECONFIGURED DURING OFFICE REMODEL
(Vail)-Beginning Oct. 13, the Vail Library Community Room will be reduced in size to accommodate
the remodel of staff offices across the hall. The room will be divided in half, leaving a public space for
up to 40 people. It will return to its original configuration, which holds up to 90 people, by mid-
December.
Library Director Annie Fox says she regrets any inconveniences caused by the temporary space
reduction. During the interim, users will be encouraged to reserve the Vail Town Council Chambers for
meetings of 40 or more people; however, most groups will continue to be accommodated in the library
space due to their small size, she said. The relocation of staff offices to the Community Room, as
opposed to the former Vail Recreation District basement space, is driven by the town's interest in using
the basement space to construct temporary housing for seasonal bus drivers, Fox said.
Community Room users and artists whose shows have been affected have been notified of the
changes, according to Fox, and have been extremely understanding.
The Community Room opened in 1983 and has been used for meeting space by as many as 200 non-
profit groups as well as gallery displays by 24 local artisans. In 1998, the room was booked for
communiry events almost every day of the year with groups ranging from avalanche awareness
programs to Internet seminars.
Once completed in December, the office remodel will include new wiring to allow connectivity to all
library systems and new work areas for increased customer assistance.
For more information, or to book an event in the Community Room, contact the circulation desk at 479-
2195.
