FAAGENDA.NEWTC 2 11/128/99 to: Vail Town Council from: M.K.Arnett Dear elected officials, This note is to inform you of my desire to serve as an "at large" member of the Vail Marketing Board. I claim no specific knowledge of marketing, other than that I've gleened from my town council experiance and the two years I've been a member of the VVTCB Board of Directors. I also represented the town in the meetings that were to lead to the formation of a regional marketing effort. When it became evident to me that other potential partners were either unwilling or unprepared to proceed, I suggested that we,(the town), pursue an independant marketing district. I do believe, (in the long run), the regional approach would best serve the marketing needs of Vail, and the Eagle River Valley. At the same time I maintain that any marketing representation must exist on a pro-rata scale. I've been accused, (by some), of having one of the more creative minds in our community. I'm ready to put this creativity to work by taking what- ever direction I'm given by the council, and making positive efforts on the Vail Marketing Board. My commitment to this community remains. Also I'm kinda cute, and a really good dancer. WMichaeeett •n• Vail Village Travel Ms. Lorelie Donaldson Town of Vail Clerk 75 S. Frontage Rd. Vail, CO 81657 Dear Ms. Donaldson, I would like this letter to serve as an application for one of the openings on the Vail Local Marketing District. I have lived in Vail since 1966 and have over thirty years of owning and operating local businesses. The last twenty years of experience have been in the travel industry, which is a combination of retail, service and marketing. I am prepared to make whatever commitment is necessary. I would appreciate being considered for the position. t Sincerely, Sally H on (P t i 100 Meadow Drive, Vail, Colorado 81657 3031476-1487 December 1, 1999 Vail Town Council 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear TC Members: Enclosed is a fairly recently completed resume that provides you with a lot of information that ;you probably don't want to know. The things that you do need to know are pretty simple. I have worked with most of you over the past few years on a variety of projects and I think my commitment to Vail is clear. Having led the battle for the return of the Business license Fee to Vail, this newly formed Marketing District is an alternative to what we were attempting to achieve. The future of Vail lies in our ability to survive in an industry that is more competitive than our founder's could ever have imagined. But survival isn't enough. We need to position ourselves in the millenium so that we are able to regain our number one rating and return Vail to the glorious position that it held in the past, a time when Vail was the bench mark against which all other ski resorts were measured. But more than that, we have to revitalize this Town so that every one who works here and lives here and visits here recognizes this community as the leader in the industry and a joyful place to be. I believe very strongly in the Town of Vail and I am commited to returnin it to its premier position. incer , KATHLEEN V.

My interest lies very simply in the economic vitality of Vail. I am very excited that the lodging tax passed and would like to offer my time and input into shaping Vail's future. I have lived in Vail on and off for five years. I spent two years as a ski bur /waiter, moved to Florida and ran a small boat rental company, and moved back three years ago to capture "the good life" and build a career in Vail. Since then I have developed a strong marketing background that has given me a unique perspective on marketing Vail. As well, I have developed an understanding of the needs, desires, and concerns of the community and the business owners who comprise it. Through my work with the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau (VVTCB), The Lodge at Vail, and my current position with a la Carte Publishing I have gained a vast knowledge on specific marketing programs for Vail. As Membership and Cooperative Manager of the VVTCB I was responsible for sales of the Summer Vacation Planner, a publication of the Vail Valley Marketing Board (VVMB). I also attended VVMB meetings and gained an understanding of many of their marketing programs. As group sales manager at The Lodge at Vail I learned the strategies of marketing one of Vail's finest hotels to groups and individuals.

Forest Service PO Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 Dear Mr. Ozawa: I represent two condominium associations in Vail Village which border Vail Road. They are Riva Ridge South and The Willows Condominium Associations. This purpose of this letter is to voice their displeasure with the CAT III Timber Hauling Route for the summer months in the years 2000 and beyond. This is the route proposed down the front side of Vail Mountain, down Mill Creek road, along Vail Road and through the Roundabout onto 1=70: We are requesting that the timber hauling not be along Vail Road directly behind our properties. This past summer the construction traffic on Vail Road was very noisy and dusty. Many owners and guests complained about the noise and the volume of traffic on this road. This is a residential neighborhood with units occupied on a nightly basis. The truck traffic started very early in the mornings when people were sleeping and had their windows open since it was summer. The disruptions to our guests and owners were numerous. The property owners here purchased in this location because it was quiet and private. You are proposing under this alternative to disrupt and cause financial harm to these owners. Therefore, we request that you seek an alternative to this timber hauling route. At this point, bridging over the wetlands seems like the best alternative from your report.

Drew Rader, P.E. PO Box 780 Avon, CO 81620 RE: Correspondence of December 1, 1999 Dear Mr. Rader: Thank you for your letter of December 1, 1999 regarding the 425 GRFA credit found in the Town Code. To clarify the issue, I researched the ordinance that created the 425 sq. ft. credit. Prior to 1990, there were credits for storage, airlocks, wood storage, and 50 sq. ft. for mechanical space. In 1990, an ordinance was passed lumping all of these uses into, a single 425 sq. ft. credit which allowed the land owner to decide how to use the floor space. The regulation did not include a "minimum area" for mechanical space. The Community Development Department believes you have discovered a major shortcoming of development trends in Vail.. Too much emphasis is being placed on floor area by property owners and not enough on building safety. This issue is important and should require property owners, architects, and engineers to adequately address mechanical space on development plans. However, we believe that this is best accomplished by architects and engineers, like yourself, educating clients on the minimum mechanical space requirements of the Building Code. The Building and Mechanical Codes contain specific regulations on the minimum space needed depending on the size of the mechanical equipment. We can all do a better job of communicating existing Building and Mechanical Code provisions to applicants, rather than creating new regulations in the Zoning Code. If you wish to pursue a code amendment on your own, you have the right to submit the appropriate application form and fee to the Town of Vail and we will forward the application to the Planning and Environmental Commission and to the Town Council for their consideration. If you have any questions, please call me at 479-2148.

OCTOBER 1999 VAIL BUSINESS REVIEW TO WW OF VAIL December 14, 1999 The October Vail Business Review examines sales tax collections for October and the summer season (May - October). Overall October sales tax decreased 1.1% with Retail decreasing 0.3%, Lodging decreased 2.9%, Food and Beverage increased 7.2% and Other (which includes items such as utilities, taxable services i.e. plumbing and electrical and rentals or leases) decreased 12.1%. Summer collections resulted in a 0.3% decrease overall with Retail increasing 0.9%, Lodging decreased 5.1%, Food and Beverage increased 4.2% and Other decreased 4.7%. In October 1998 we had the World Wide Church of God group in town and the Seibert Circle Dedication Party. The World Wide Church of God did not visit in 1999. The 1.4% Vail Marketing District tax is effective January 1, 2000. This tax is charged on the purchase price paid or charged to persons for rooms or accommodations and is only charged on short- term rentals (less than 30 days). The State of Colorado will collect this tax and questions concerning it should be directed to the Department of Revenue at 303-232-2416. Sales tax forms and the Vail.Business Review are available on the internet at ci.vail.co.us. Please remember when reading the Vail Business Review that it is produced from sales tax collections, as opposed to actual gross sales.

Introduction Eight employee-housing units along with a neighborhood park are going to be constructed in West Vail. Six of the units as well as Ellefson Park will be constructed at the intersection of Arosa and Garmisch. The other two units will be constructed on a site known as the A-Frame at 2657 Arosa Drive. The A- Frame was taken down on November 9th and will be replaced with a deed- restricted duplex. 0 II. Background The Stevens Group, Inc., the builder selected for the Arosa-Garmisch and the A- Frame employee housing sites has submitted plans to the building division and upon completion of their review, building permits will be issued. The plan is to do the grading work on the park and housing site at Arosa-Garmisch this winter and wait until spring to do construction on both housing sites and the park. The grading work at Arosa-Garmisch for the park and the housing will take approximately one month. Construction will begin approximately April 1, 2000 with anticipated completion on both housing sites being Thanksgiving time. By not doing construction during the winter months the construction costs will be reduced. The Stevens Group will be re-bidding the project in January to achieve the best possible pricing. III. Water and Sewer Tap Fees for Deed-Restricted Employee Housing On Thursday, November 18th Russell Forrest and Nina Timm made a presentation to the Board of Directors of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District. Staff discussed with the District ways to waive, reduce or provide long- term financing for water and sewer tap fees on deed-restricted employee housing units. At that meeting the Board expressed an interest in further pursuing options. Based on today's work session discussion another presentation will be made to the Board of Directors on Thursday, December 16, 1999 to further discuss options for tap fees. F/everyone. nina. arosgarm.tcupdate r. Some of the possibilities discussed include the following: ? Long-term, interest-free financing for water and sewer tap fees. In order for this to be more cost effective than including it in a mortgage the District would need to provide financing for 11 years or longer, interest free. There was a break-even point of 11 years, interest free over a typical 30-year mortgage at 9%. The District would administer this program, with payments included in monthly water and sewer bills. This option would help people qualify for loans by reducing the purchase price. ? Waiving water and sewer tap fees altogether. The Board may be willing to waive the fees altogether for deed restricted housing in exchange for the first option on a unit. The unit would be made available to a Water and Sanitation District employee before going to the public lottery. This would be approximately a $75,000 construction budget, line item savings. Allowing a District employee the first option to purchase a unit creates a benefit to the Water and Sanitation District as well as creating a benefit to the overall expense of the development. ? A "grant" from the Water and Sanitation District for the housing development in the amount of the water and sewer tap fees. A grant could be established by the district to pay for all or a portion of a tap fee. Another item that was discussed with Dennis Gelvin, Director of Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, was the potential for another partnership on construction costs at the Arosa-Garmisch site. Dennis said that the Board may also be agreeable to paying the construction costs for the unit, if one unit could be made available to their employees. It would be set up the same way that Red Sandstone Creek was set up. In that project the Town of Vail received the bill for work completed and then the District was billed for their percentage. When the units were sold the proceeds went to the entity that paid for the construction. The system worked quite well. It should be noted that the District owned a majority of the land at the Red Sandstone project. The Board of Directors for Eagle River Water and Sanitation District has not approved any of these options. A presentation to the Board on Thursday, December 16th will include all of the options that Council finds acceptable. The concepts that Council approves of will be presented to the Board of Directors in order to find a mutually agreeable "solution." F/everyone. nina. arosgarm.tcupdate v IV. Name for the Housing Development The six units at Arosa and Garmisch have come to be known simply as the Arosa-Garmisch units. Staff had been waiting to see what the name of the park would be to see if it would be appropriate for the name of the housing as well. With the blessing of the family the park will be dedicated in memory of Lyndon Ellefson and be called Ellefson Park. Staff would recommend the housing development be named Park Place Townhomes due to their proximity to the new park. There was initially a contest to name the park and housing, but none of the names offered would be appropriate. If there are other suggestions staff is certainly open to them. V. Actions Requested of Council 1) Provide staff with direction on what options to bring to the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District. The largest issue is whether or not the Town is willing to give up first option on a unit at Arosa-Garmisch in exchange for the water and sewer tap fees being waived. 2) Also, approve the name Park Place Townhomes for the six units at Arosa and Garmisch or provide other options for the naming the units. 3) Staff also would like to make sure the Town Council is comfortable with the proposed construction schedule for Arosa-Garmish.

Maximization of living or usable space by the designer or Architect has been the primary motivation of this trend. Current Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) requirements indicate 425 square foot credit is available per Single Family Residence, Two-Family Residence, or Primary Secondary Residence in addition. to the standard requirements. In conversations with the Vail Building Department, this credit was originally intended for dedicated mechanical space, though it is not specifically stated. Because of this discrepancy, designers are using this credit to maximize living space, disregarding or limiting the mechanical space, which is required for safe and efficient heating and/or cooling of the structure. We are proposing an amendment to the current GRFA requirements to have this non-specific credit changed to a specific mechanical space credit as originally intended by the code. This change will solve many space and safety concerns not only by the mechanical engineer or designer, but also concerns by the Building Department. Please review your information on this subject and contact us regarding this issue. We look forward to your call. Sincerely, J. Drew Rader, P.E. Dan Goodman Principal Design Engineer MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: December 14, 1999 SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to discuss a rezoning and redevelopment proposal for Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson This proposal includes the demolition and reconstruction of the Ski Club Vail facility with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property.

On December 13th, the PEC will approve/deny the Conditional Use Permit and Development Plan Approval requests and forward a recommendation on the rezoning request to the Vail Town Council. The Vail Town Council is being asked to approve/deny the request for a rezoning. Today, the applicant and staff are requesting feedback from the Town Council regarding the proposed rezoning in anticipation of a final review of the request later this month. Roles and Responsibilities of the Town of Vail Boards and Staff Rezoninq Planning and Environmental Commission: Action: The PEC is advisory to the Town Council. The PEC shall review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Town Council on the compatibility of the proposed zoning with surrounding uses, consistency with the Vail Comprehensive Plans, and impact on the general welfare of the community. Design Review Board: Action: The DRB has no review authority on rezonings. Staff: The staff is responsible for ensuring that all submittal requirements are provided. The staff advises the applicant as to compliance with the Zoning Regulations. Staff provides a staff memo containing background on the property and provides a staff evaluation of the project with respect to the required criteria and findings, and a recommendation on approval, approval with conditions, or denial. Staff also facilitates the review process. 1 Town Council: Action: The Town Council is responsible for final approval/denial of a rezoning. The Town Council shall review and evaluate the proposal based on the compatibility of the proposed zoning with surrounding uses, consistency with the Vail Comprehensive Plans, and impact on the general welfare of the community. A detailed analysis of Ski Club Vail's proposal is given in the attached PEC memo dated December 13, 1999. 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: December 13, 1999 SUBJECT: A request for a final review of a redevelopment proposal involving a rezoning, conditional use permit revision and development plan approval for Ski Club Vail, located at 598 Vail Valley Drive / Part of Tract B, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Ski Club Vail Planner: Brent Wilson 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This proposal includes the demolition and reconstruction of the Ski Club Vail facility with an encroachment onto Vail Associates property. In conjunction with the expansion, the property would be rezoned (to Ski Base Recreation) in accordance with the approved development plan for the Golden Peak Ski Base. The PEC is being asked to approve/deny the Conditional Use Permit request and Development Plan Approval request for this proposal. Additionally, the PEC will be asked to forward a recommendation on the rezoning request to the Vail Town Council. A detailed analysis of this proposal is given in Sections V-VII of this memorandum. II. BACKGROUND On November 8th and 22"d, the PEC reviewed Ski Club Vail's conceptual redevelopment plan and identified a number of issues throughout this process. Ski Club Vail has submitted a revised plan based on the comments/concerns at these meetings and is requesting a final approval from the PEC. Reduced copies of these plans are attached to this memo for reference. Following is a brief history of the development of Ski Club Vail: On August 26, 1976, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the construction and operation of Ski Club Vail. At that time, the PEC did not require any parking and stated "...we feel additional parking in this location is not appropriate." However, Ski Club served approximately 75 users in 1976; today the facility serves over 300. 7DWN OF VAIL 1 On March 24, 1986, the PEC granted a variance for the use of the front setback area/right- of-way as a loading and unloading zone for a one-year period. The approval was . conditioned on Ski Club Vail's willingness to sign and enforce this "drop-off" zone. At that time, Ski Club Vail leased additional parking spaces from the Ramshorn Condominium Association. This lease agreement is no longer in effect. After the one-year PEC approval expired, additional approvals -were not requested. In January of 1998, the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and Ski Club Vail drafted a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding parking management for the Golden Peak Ski Base area facilities. Under this MOU, the Town Manager agreed to discuss Ski Club Vail's parking situation with the Town Council. At their October 13, 1998 meeting, the Vail Town Council directed Ski Club Vail personnel to bring an application to correct the parking and loading problems on site before the PEC for approval. After the PEC granted last year's variance request, the Vail Town Council voted to approve the applicant's use of Town right-of-way for temporary loading and unloading. In November of 1999, both the PEC and the Vail Town Council approved an identical variance request (for a two-year period) in anticipation of an approved development plan. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Rezoning Staff recommends that the PEC forward a recommendation of approval of the applicant's request for a rezoning from "Agriculture and Open Space" district to "Ski Base Recreation" district to the Vail Town Council, subject to the following finding: 1. That the proposed zone district is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses, consistent with the Town's Land Use Plan and Zoning Regulations, and appropriate for the area. Conditional Use Permit Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a "quasi-public club" and the redevelopment of ski racing facilities, subject to the following findings: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of Chapter 12- 16, Town of Vail Code and the purposes of the Ski Base Recreation district. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Chapter 12- 16, Town of Vail Code (Conditional Use Permits). 2 Development Plan Staff recommends approval of the applicant's request for development plan approval (within the Ski Base Recreation district) subject to the following findings: 1. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. 2. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. 3. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties,, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. 4. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. 5. Compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans has been demonstrated by the applicant. The Department of Community Development recommendation is subject to the following condition: 1. A signed letter of approval of this plan from Vail Associates is required prior to the issuance of a final design review approval from the Town of Vail. IV. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for: - Conformance with development standards of zone district - Lot area - Setbacks - Building Height - Density - GRFA - Site coverage - Landscape area - Parking and loading - Mitigation of development impacts - Compliance with the goals and requirements applicable Master Plans 3 The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for: - Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings - Fitting buildings into landscape - Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography - Removal/Preservation of trees and native vegetation - Adequate provision for snow storage on-site - Acceptability of building materials and colors - Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms - Provision of landscape and drainage - Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures - Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances - Location and design of satellite dishes - Provision of outdoor lighting V. REZONING REQUEST The request for rezoning is necessary due to the existing non-conformities under the current "Agriculture & Open Space" designation. Ski Club Vail does not have the ability to expand under the current zoning. Additionally, due to the encroachment onto Vail Associates' property, it is necessary to apply a consistent zoning among the parcels. Vail Associates' Golden Peak property (Tracts F & B) is zoned "Ski Base Recreation." The PEC shall make the following findings before granting approval of a zone change request: 1) Is the existing zoning suitable with the existing land use on the site and adjacent land uses? Ski Club Vail's property is currently zoned "Agriculture and Open Space" ("A"). Staff believes the existing zoning is inconsistent with the established use of the property. Intended uses within the current "A" zoning designation include agriculture, public parks, recreation areas, and open space. Staff believes Ski Club Vail's operation is more consistent with the intended uses outlined for the "Ski Base Recreation" district. These include ski racing facilities, ski school facilities, and private/quasi-public/public clubs. Adjacent land uses include the Golden Peak Ski Base (Ski Base Recreation), Manor Vail (High Density Multiple Family), Pinos del Norte/Northwoods (Special Development District #2/HDMF), and Ford Park (General Use). Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent and suitable with adjacent properties. 4 2) Is the amendment presenting a convenient workable relationship with land uses consistent with municipal objectives? Staff believes this proposal furthers municipal land use objectives through the redevelopment of a facility that no longer serves the needs of Ski Club Vail. Many of the traffic congestion problems identified in this area of the East Village are attributable to the current facility (among other properties). Staff believes this proposal presents a feasible, workable solution to the re-occurring traffic problems identified in this area and promotes a much-improved relationship with adjacent properties. 3) Does the rezoning provide for the growth of an orderly viable community? Staff believes this rezoning is necessary to facilitate redevelopment of the property in an orderly, viable fashion. Under the current zoning designation, Ski Club Vail is "non- conforming" and does not have the ability to expand. Given the fact that the facility now serves about 4 times the number of users it served in 1977, staff believes redevelopment/rezoning is the only feasible option at this time. The redevelopment proposal is consistent with applicable development limitations imposed under the proposed zone district. 4) Is the change consistent with the (Land Use Plan? The Vail Land Use Plan proposes a future land use designation on this property of "Ski Base." This land use category includes "ski trails, facilities related to a ski base and ski- related improvements." Staff believes the proposed zone district is consistent with this designation while the existing zoning is not. Staff believes the proposed Ski Club Vail rezoning/redevelopment plan would further the following goals identified in the Vail Land Use Plan: Goal 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both visitors and permanent residents. Goal 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely, to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 5 VI. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION (DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL) The final development plan indicates the following development statistics: Lot Area (Tracts F & B) = 50.095 acres or 2,182,138.2 square feet Allowed/Required Proposed Building Height 60%.at 35'; 40% at 40' 31' max.* Floor Area per PEC approval 24,364 square feet Site Coverage per PEC approval 6,386 square feet Setbacks per PEC approval 38' front / 100'+ others (Tract B) Parking Spaces per PEC approval 22 spaces (7 drop-off) Snow Storage (10%) 1,066 square feet min. 1,205 square feet Existin Proposed Total Site Coverage for 63,979 sf or 2.9% 70,365 sf or 3.2% Ski Base Recreation District /Golden Peak Ski Base (includes structured parking). * does not include architectural projections Criteria used for development plan evaluation within the Ski Base Recreation zone district are as follows: A. "Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole." Thus far, the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission, Design Review Board and Town staff have found this proposal to be in compliance with this provision. Staff believes the facilities provided under this plan are adequate to serve the needs of the growing organization during peak user periods. It is anticipated the proposed parking and drop-off facilities will positively impact traffic flow along Vail Valley Drive. Staff believes the site development plan proposed is both functionally and aesthetically responsive to the surrounding neighborhood and uses. B. "Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas." The proposed site development plan would dramatically increase the amount of landscaping on the property over existing conditions. Representatives from adjacent properties have expressed concerns about the existing landscape island along Vail Valley Drive and its necessity for screening purposes. This redevelopment proposal 6 includes the extension of the landscape island by approximately 155 linear feet with a net addition of 16 trees. Additionally, the proposal would add a significant buffer between the new facility and the Pinos del Norte and Northwoods properties. Staff believes the functionality and aesthetics of the proposed landscaping and open space are consistent with the objectives outlined in the Town's Streetscape. Master Plan and Land Use Plan. C. "A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe,. efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development." Ski Club Vail's redevelopment proposal would not alter the bicycle/pedestrian/vehicular circulation system planned and approved as part of the Golden Peak Ski Base redevelopment in 1995. The plan is consistent with objectives outlined in the Town's Streetscape Master Plan and Vail Village Master Plan. D. "Compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans." Staff has evaluated the proposal for compliance with the applicable elements of the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan, including: 1. Vail Land Use Plan As mentioned previously, staff believes Ski Club Vail's redevelopment plan would further the following goals identified in, the Vail Land Use Plan: Goal 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and permanent resident. Goal 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2. Vail Village Master Plan Ski Club Vail is addressed in the Vail Village Master Plan under the "Golden Peak Ski Base Sub-Area." The goals for Vail Village are summarized in six major goal statements. Each major goal focuses on a particular aspect of the Village community (promotion of a healthy economy, environmental protection, etc.). Each identified goal is listed below as well as the applicable objectives and policies that are addressed by the Ski Club Vail redevelopment plan. 7 Goal 1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. 1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal 2 To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. 2.1 Objective: Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 10 sub-areas throughout the Village and allow for development that is compatible with these established land use patterns. 2.5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing facilities to better serve the needs of our guests and permanent residents. Goal 3 To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and other improvements. 3.1.1 Policy: Private development shall incorporate streetscape improvements (such as paver treatments, landscaping, lighting and seating areas), along adjacent pedestrian ways. 3.4 Objective: Develop additional sidewalks, pedestrian-only walkways and accessible greenspace areas, including pocket parks and stream access. 3.4.2 Policy: Private development projects shall be required to incorporate new sidewalks along streets adjacent to the project as designated in the Vail Village Master Plan and/or the Recreation Trails Master Plan. Goal 4 To preserve existing open space areas and expand greenspace opportunities. 4.1 Objective: Improve existing open space areas and create new plazas with greenspace and pocket parks. Recognize the different roles of each type of open space in forming the overall fabric of the Village. 4.1.3 Policy With the exception of ski-base related facilities, existing natural open space areas at the base of Vail Mountain and throughout Vail Village shall be preserved as open space. 8 Goal 5 Increase and improve the capacity, efficiency, and aesthetics of the transportation and circulation system throughout the Village. 5.1 Objective: Meet parking demands with public and private parking facilities. 5.1.5 Policy: Redevelopment projects shall be strongly encouraged to provide underground or visually concealed parking. 5.4 Objective: Improve the streetscape of circulation corridors throughout the Village. Goal 6 To ensure the continued improvement of the vital operational elements of the Village. 6.1 Objective: Provide service and delivery facilities for existing and new development. The specific concepts in the Vail Village Master Plan that address the Golden Peak/Ski Club Vail area serve as advisory guidelines for future land use decisions by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. The Master Plan recognizes that properties within the sub-area will redevelop and states: "Redevelopment will attract additional traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon portions of Sub-Areas 6 (East Gore Creek) and 7 (East Village)." Staff believes the following concepts for the Golden Peak sub-area are carried out with this proposal: Redevelopment ...shall be low profile to minimize impacts on views to Vail Mountain. Plans indicate a 3-level structure that is substantially below grade (2 levels on the south side, 1 level on the north side). Although applicable zoning would allow a building height of up to 40', the applicant is proposing a structure that is approximately 31' tall at its highest point. Adjacent structures are significantly higher. Staff believes this new facility would have negligible impacts on public views in the vicinity. Commercial activity at this site should be limited to "ski base/recreational" uses. Although no commercial activity is proposed at this location, the uses identified are consistent with the Ski Base/Recreation designation. Additional parking for any facilities is to be provided on site. Staff believes the on-site parking proposed at the new facility is sufficient to meet peak parking demands for Ski Club Vail. 9 Pedestrian improvements, such as sidewalks, are important to connect this sub-area to Ford Park and the soccer field. The redevelopment plan for the new facility indicates an 8-foot wide concrete unit paver sidewalk adjacent to Ski Club Vail. The existing Town bike path to the east of the facility will be realigned and reconstructed as part of this proposal. 3. Transportation Master Plan The Vail Transportation Master Plan, adopted in 1993, focused on all forms of transportation and developed a long-range implementation strategy for the transportation programs. The Plan is intended to guide the Town's decision-makers in developing a coordinated approach to implementing transportation improvements. The broad categories of the Plan that relate to Ski Club Vail include parking and the pedestrian/trail system interface. The parking issue revolves around the parking supply and demand. The demand for parking at Ski Club Vail varies depending upon the season of the year, day of the week and the time of the day. Based on the existing supply of parking, demand overflows the "horseshoe" drive aisle and necessitates parking on Vail Valley Drive right-of-way during peak user periods. With the expansion of the Ski Club Vail facility, it is anticipated there will be an increased demand for parking. However, staff believes sufficient parking is being provided under the new plan and anticipates no future parking overflow onto Town right-of-way. 4. Streetscape Master Plan Improvements in and around the Ski Club Vail redevelopment area are included in the "East Village" sub-area of the Streetscape Master Plan. This sub-area includes Vail Valley Drive, Hanson Ranch Road, East Gore Creek Drive and East Meadow Drive. The East Village sub-area is predominantly made up of lodges and condominiums. Vehicular traffic is not restricted. The Golden Peak Ski Base facility and the Children's Center are at the center of the sub-area and are both major vehicular and pedestrian destinations. The Streetscape Master Plan recommends that the primary goal for this area is to provide an effective and safe pedestrian system, while accommodating the vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. The Plan recognizes that traffic along Vail Valley Drive is very heavy throughout most of the year. It is especially heavy in the morning and late afternoons during the ski season and evenings and weekends during the summer months. Vail Associates Children's Center and the existing Ski Club Vail facility are both major sources of vehicular congestion during the winter season, with parents dropping-off and picking-up children at the beginning and the end of each day. The streetscape improvement plan for the East Village focuses on the pedestrian corridors adjacent to the asphalt roadway. One of the Plan's goals is to direct pedestrians to key destination points such as the Golden Peak Ski Base facility, the Children's Center, Ford Park and the Ford Amphitheater, and the Village Core. No major changes to the vehicular circulation system or roadway are proposed for this sub-area. The Ski Club Vail redevelopment proposal includes the implementation of a number of elements identified in the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan. The recommended 10 streetscape improvements for the East Village sub-area are listed below (in bold), followed by a staff analysis of how the applicant's proposal complies with, or does not comply with, the recommendations in the Streetscape Master Plan. Streetscape Master Plan Recommendation Along Vail Valley Drive, from Manor Vail's north entry to the soccer field, an eight to ten-foot wide concrete unit paver walkway is recommended on the south side of the road. The Plan points out that retaining walls will be needed in some areas due to an inadequate right-of-way and a hillside being immediately adjacent to the roadway. There is no sidewalk proposed for the north side of the street due to the tight physical constraints along the northerly right-of-way line. The proposed Ski Club Vail plan shows an 8-foot wide concrete paver sidewalk along Vail Valley Drive adjacent to the Ski Club Vail property. Although the PEC stated on November 8m that Ski Club Vail would not be held financially responsible for the construction of this sidewalk, the walkway shown on the plan is consistent with the Town's Streetscape Master Plan. Historically, these types of improvements have been the responsibility of the private property owner as part of redevelopment (per the Town's Streetscape Master Plan, Vail Village Master Plan and Chapter 12-16, Town of Vail Code). A review of the "Preliminary Developer Improvement Agreement for the Golden Peak Ski Base Facility' reveals that Vail Associates has committed to partnering with the Town for the construction of a sidewalk between Golden Peak and the Ford Park Soccer Fields. For a point of reference, Town staff measured existing sidewalks adjacent to Ski Club Vail. Their dimensions are as follows: Sidewalk adjacent to TOV bus shelter: 8-foot wide (concrete pavers) Vail Valley Drive (GPSB Children's): 8-foot wide (concrete pavers) Vail Valley Drive (GPSB Main): 6-foot wide (concrete pavers)* Internal GPSB walkways min. 8-foot wide (concrete pavers) Pinos del Norte no sidewalk** Northwoods no sidewalk** *6-foot sidewalks exist on both sides of Vail Valley Drive at this location **Sidewalk improvements have been planned at this location as part of the GPSB redevelopment plan. Necessary streetscape improvements for Vail Valley Drive adjacent to Ski Club Vail will include the following: Planned Improvement Cost Estimate storm sewer system extension $ 10,000.00 streetlights (4) $ 20;000.00 concrete paver sidewalk $ 70.400.00 Total cost for improvements $100,400.00 The revised plan shows the existing Town bike path adjacent to Ski Club Vail remaining intact with a slightly altered route at the rear of the building. Staff supports this decision, 11 a provided the new path is consistent with Town of Vail construction standards (max. 8% grade, min. 10' width with 2' lateral safety clearance). Some revisions to the path alignment (as proposed) will be necessary to achieve a maximum grade of 8%. The plan also shows a 6-foot wide interior pedestrian walkway adjacent to the skier drop-off parking. Given the anticipated loading and drop-off activity within Ski Club Vail's internal drive aisle, staff believes the proposed 6-foot sidewalk is a major improvement over the previous 4-foot path shown in the early phases of plan development. One of the problematic areas identified within the East Village Sub-Area is a lack of landscaped islands or berms between private parking areas and public areas/rights-of- way. The proposed site plan indicates the existing landscape island at Ski Club Vail will be extended significantly. Staff strongly supports this decision and recommends every attempt possible be made to preserve the integrity of the mature trees on site. Staff believes ample landscaping is provided at other locations on the plan. At the November 16th Vail Town Council meeting, Councilman Chuck Ogilby suggested Ski Club Vail pursue the relocation of the existing large spruce trees (to the west of the existing structure adjacent to the retaining wall) to the landscape island. Staff also supports this suggestion. VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT In accordance with Chapter 16 of the Town of Vail Code, an application for a conditional use permit within the Ski Base Recreation District shall be subject to the following development factors and criteria: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. The Town of Vail Code allows for the operation of "quasi-public clubs" and the "redevelopment of ski racing facilities" at this location, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. The Code requires the issuance of a conditional use permit for these uses, in part, so that adequate steps are taken to ensure that the proposed use is in compliance with the Town's development objectives. As demonstrated previously, staff believes this proposal complies with applicable elements of Vail's Comprehensive Plan. 2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. The requested conditional use permit will have positive effects on the immediate needs of the facility to meet growing demands. The existing Ski Club Vail facility imposes seasonal demands on public facilities and infrastructure -most notably transportation facilities. At times, these demands reach problematic proportions. 12 Staff believes this proposal will effectively alleviate these demands on the above- listed facilities. 3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and, pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking areas. .Staff believes this proposal will greatly enhance the traffic flow and pedestrian safety in the area by eliminating the problematic use of town right-of-way for short-term parking. Additionally, staff believes the pedestrian improvements proposed will help keep users away from areas where automobile/pedestrian conflicts have arisen in the past. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The footprint for the new structure would be located approximately 25' to the south and 60' to the east of the existing structure. Staff believes the proposed bulk, mass, character and scale of the proposed structure is compatible and consistent with adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. At their December 1St meeting, the Town's Design Review Board conducted a preliminary review of the plans and indicated Ski Club Vail "was headed in exactly the right direction." Reduced copies of the proposed site plan, floor plans and building elevations are included in this memorandum. The Plannina and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations. 13 Map Vicinity CHILDRENS PARK 4 7 _ / 530 FORD PARK GREE ~ ~ I .H ~ I K 3 VIL3AV LWLLIA 385 2 1 2 3 4 5 8 759 \ 380 RAMS AIAACONDO ~NR HoRNLODG R \ TNOU CONDO 385 4U P-1 \I 68 276 F A W O D1 418 -I TRACT I m TRACT F-1 U4 I1 \1 MI1ri0R VAIL m 1 1 TRACT E C 595 AMPRHEATER / \ 1 540 FORD PARK r 3D338 MANOR VAIL 595 I-- T 16 A, 0 6 302 335 GOLDEN PEAK \ y? / 304 5 18 TRACT F MANOR VAIL 352 455 A, e &C . 10 335 506 t ' 342 8 17 382 468 0::: 375 7atACTiHi:;': CTA PINOS DEL \ NORTE l % 18 15 15 _______I A 31 l L5 353 355 C g \ ~i 598 RACE CDY NORnWOODS ~l C \ .

He received a check for $1,000. --Annual Presentation of Investment Report Councilmembers reviewed a quarterly investment report presented by Chris Stouder, the town's finance/budget manager. She said the town maximizes its low-risk investments by using short- and long-term strategies, consistently bettering the Treasury Bill rate, which is used as an investment benchmark. At the suggestion of Councilmember Sybill Navas, annual comparisons will be added to the reports. For more information, contact Stouder at 479-2119. --Ski Club Vail Redevelopment Discussion The Council received an update on the Planning and Environmental Commission's (PEC) approval of a development plan and conditional use request for the new Ski Club Vail facility on Vail-Valley Drive. The PEC voted unanimously to approve the project with three conditions at its Dec. 13 meeting. The new 24,000 sq. ft. facility will triple the size of the existing building and will accommodate 22 off-site parking spaces, including 8 enclosed spaces for vans. One of the conditions required by the PEC is to assign responsibility among Ski Club Vail, Vail Resorts and the Town of Vail, for construction of a 6 ft. wide sidewalk extending from Golden Peak to the soccer field. Ski Club Vail spokesman Rocky Christopher suggested the town pay for the public improvements due to upwards of $200,000 in cumulative sales taxes generated by the club's annual Ski Swap. At the suggestion of Councilman Greg Moffet, staff was directed to review minutes of Council meetings from 1995 to determine if Vail Resorts had been required to install the sidewalk as part of the Golden Peak ski base redevelopment approval. Also yesterday, Councilmember Diana Donovan expressed concerns regarding the number of trees that would be removed to make way for the on-site parking, while Councilman Kevin Foley suggested adding a bigger boiler to the facility to heat the new sidewalk extension. The Town Council will consider a rezoning request as part of the development review process from Agriculture Open Space to Ski Base Recreation.

(more) RECYCLED PAPER Add 1/TOV Council Highlights/12-14-99 --Arosa-Garmisch and A-Frame Employee Housing Update After learning of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District's interest in participating as a potential partner in the town's construction of 8 employee housing units in West Vail (6 at Arosa- Garmisch, 2 at "A-Frame" site), the Town Council agreed to offer the district an option to purchase one of the units in exchange for waiving water and sewer tap fees for all 8 units. The water district board will discuss the possibility in more detail at its Dec. 16 meeting. Councilmembers were pleased by the district's interest. Councilman Greg Moffet called it a great example of the Vail Tomorrow concept of governments working together. Councilman Chuck Ogilby, a former water board member, also expressed his enthusiasm, noting the district has never waived a tap fee in the past. Ogilby said the town also needs to put a timetable together to work with the district in helping it acquire the old town shop property for expansion of the sewer plant with the possibility of housing above. Also yesterday, Councilmember Diana Donovan asked to receive information on the number of water district employees who work in Vail. Construction of the 8 units in West Vail will begin in April with completion occurring next November. Town Manager Bob McLaurin has asked Council to consider making one of the "A- frame" units available for town employees--either for rent or sale. In addition, the Council asked that additional names be forwarded for consideration of a new name for the Arosa-Garmisch development. One suggestion is Park Place Townhomes, although several Councilmembers said it reminded them too much of the expensive property associated with the Monopoly game. For more information, contact Vail Housing Coordinator Nina Timm at 479-2144. --Request for Use of Dobson Ice Arena Days for Inc. 500 Summer 2000 Conference The Council deferred a staff request to designate 3 of the town's free contractual rental days at Dobson Ice Arena to be used for a July convention sponsored by Inc. Magazine and brought to Vail through the Governor's Office of Economic Development. The convention will draw more than 700 attendees from the top 500 small to medium-sized companies from across the country who will spend an estimated $2 million in Vail over the three days. Although Councilmembers expressed support for the event, they asked to defer the donation until more information can be gathered regarding town sponsorship expectations and rate schedules for the Dobson Ice Arena. For more information, contact Pam Brandmeyer, assistant town manager, at 479-2113 --PEC Report-Discussion of Vail Plaza Hotel Proposal The Council heard an update on the Planning and Environmental Commission's (PEC) final review of the Vail Plaza Hotel proposal. The PEC voted unanimously to approve the request for a Major Amendment to a Special Development District and a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a fractional fee club on the property. There were 21 conditions tied to the approval. In preparation for Council consideration of the application, several Councilmembers asked for additional information, including an ownership mechanism for future capital improvements on the property and underlying zoning comparisons of the Gateway Plaza building and other components of the Vail Village Inn. The Town Council will informally review the proposal at its Dec. 21 evening meeting and will hear from a traffic consultant on impacts to Vail Road and the Frontage Road. The redevelopment proposal calls for 99 hotel rooms, 48 fractional fee club units, 1 condominium, 393 parking spaces, a full service spa and health club facility, and a 10,500 sq. ft. conference and meeting room facility. Also, the proposal includes creation of deed-restricted off-site housing units for 38 employees. For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145. --Council Retreat Follow-up As a follow-up to an earlier two-day retreat, the Council began reviewing objectives and work (more) i r Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/12-14-99 plans associated with six critical strategies (transportation, infrastructure, economic viability, housing, environment and community collaboration). The focus of yesterday's discussion was on transportation. The 2000 work plan will include the following: conduct study to determine alternatives and costs for in-town shuttle; participate in and support the CARTS demonstration project; adopt a model traffic code; review outlying bus schedules and modify as appropriate; review loading and delivery study and optimize resources and opportunities; implement dismount zones in the pedestrian villages to improve safety; update the 1990 Transportation Master plan; participate in the Intermountain Regional Transportation Planning Commission; participate in the Eagle County Rail Initiative; and continue to participate in the Vail Valley Exchange prograrn for bus driver trainees. --Information Update Two announcements were made: the annual holiday luncheon at Public Works is at noon Dec. 15 and the annual holiday TOV party is at 6 p.m. Dec. 17. Also, referring to last week's agenda item regarding a funding request for security at the Wednesday night street parties, Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said the additional staffing would be funded through savings rather than the Council contingency funding requested previously. --Council Reports Kevin Foley reported on a Vail Recreation District meeting held earlier in the day in which user conflicts at the Nordic Center were discussed. Sybill Navas reported on a recent Northwest Colorado Council of Governments meeting in which members viewed a video on a proposed rail system. Also, the group awarded technical assistance grants, including a $3,000 grant to the Town of Vail to help verify street addresses for emergency services. Greg Moffet reported on his attendance at the Local Marketing District Advisory Board meeting in which strategies were discussed in the areas of destination marketing and group business. Moffet said the group was working well and complimented them for volunteering their time and talents. Also, he said it appears the advisory board is interested in expanding its membership. The town will research whether the Council can select two additional members from among the pool of applicants who expressed interest: previously. --Other Kevin Foley expressed support for the "I'm from Vail, may I help?" buttons and said they appeared to be working in improving guest relations throughout town. Foley also asked for a copy of the new winter bus schedule, effective Dec. 13; invited Councilmembers to attend the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority Christmas party; and inquired about the town's use of magnesium chloride, which has been scaled back. Chuck Ogilby expressed concern with the Planning and Environmental Commission's acceptance of the Vail Plaza Hotel's request to locate employee housing units tied to the project's approval off-site. At 300 sq. ft. per person, Ogilby said he thinks the developer should provide housing for the 38 employees on the property, which represents just 2 percent of the total square footage of the development. Also yesterday, Ogilby shared a constituent idea to locate a community garden on the vacant town-owned -property across from Stephen's Park, as well as courtesy concerns about a parking ticket issued in his neighborhood. (more) i 1 Add 31TOV Council Highlights/12-14-99 Lastly, at Ogilby's suggestion, Councilmembers discussed last week's request from the skating community regarding the immediate need for a second ice sheet. Several Councilmembers suggested consideration of a temporary facility which would enable the ice to be used during the eventual construction of a facility on the "Hub" site in Lionshead. Also, in response to suggestions that the "Hub" site can be phased with construction of an ice sheet on the bottom, Mayor Ludwig Kurz suggested the town consult with some structural engineers to determine the feasibility. In addition, the group expressed the need to meet with the skating community, along with representatives from the Vail Recreation District, to discuss the options in more detail.
