Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Senior Special Projects Planner
Date: December 21, 1999
Re: Vail Plaza Hotel - Follow Up to the December 7 & 14 Vail Town Council Meetings
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide follow-up information to the Town Council. On both Tuesday,
December 7 and December 14 the staff and the applicant presented information on the status of the development
review process of the Vail Plaza Hotel to the Vail Town Council. In response to the two presentations, many
members of the Council raised specific questions or concerns with regard to the hotel proposal that needed further
clarification.
Enclosed in the Town Council packets was a memorandum from Jay Peterson to George Ruther, dated December
16, 1999. The purpose of the memorandum from the applicant is to respond to the specific issues raised by the
Council at the December 7 worksession meeting. In addition to the memorandum, the consulting traffic engineers
will be at the meeting to discuss the conclusions of the traffic impact analysis prepared for the proposed hotel.
Several of the questions raised by Council were directed to staff. These questions focused on the adoption of view
corridors in Vail and the development history of the Vail Gateway Plaza building and the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District.
ADOPTION OF VIEW CORRIDORS
In 1981, the Town of Vail began a process to identify and adopt view corridors in Vail. View corridors were
adopted to protect critical views of Vail Mountain and the Gore Range to act as constant reminders and visual
orientation reference points for our guests and visitors. The following timeline outlines the view corridor adoption
process:
October 26,1981- Staff identifies and submits 39 major/minor views and focal points to the Planning &
Environmental Commission for review and consideration. An identified view includes a view to the southeast
overtop the gas station to Vail Mountain from the four-way intersection.
November 11, 1982 -After more than a year of discussion and evaluation the Planning & Environmental
Commission recommends nine view corridors and one focal point be established in Vail. A view corridor from the
four-way intersection overtop the gas station (now the Gateway) was not recommended.
June 21, 1983 - Following six months of deliberations the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 13, Series of
1983, An Ordinance Amending The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan -Design Considerations: View Section
and View Corridor Map To Reduce The Number Of Major Views And To Eliminate Minor View Corridors. The
designated view to be preserved originated from either major pedestrian areas or public plazas. The four views that
were preserved were of the ski slopes from areas in the Village, of the Clock Tower and of the Gore Range. These
views were preserved in the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan. A view corridor from the four-way intersection
overtop the gas station was not adopted.
July 21,1992 -Following the denial of a previous and similar ordinance in 1991, the Vail Town Council adopted
Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992, An Ordinance Amending Section G Of The Vail Villagge Urban Design
Considerations, Relating To The Protection Of Views Within The Town Of Vail And Creating A New Chapter Of
The Municipal Code Of The Town Of Vail To Provide For The Protection Of Certain Views Within The Town This
1
ordinance removed the view corridor preservation from the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and placed them
within a new chapter of the Municipal Code. The ordinance further adopted one new view corridor bringing the
total number in the Town of Vail to five. Again, the view overtop the gas station was not adopted.
May 20, 1993 - The Town initiated an effort to adopt four new view corridors. To move the effort forward a View
Corridor Task Force was created. The information in the file indicates that no new view corridors were established.
VAIL VILLAGE INN SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
March 16,1976 - The Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 7. Series of 1976, An Ordinance Establishing
Special Development District No. 6 And Amending The Zoning Ordinance And The Official Zoning Map. The
purpose of the ordinance was to designate the 3.455 acre development site as a Special Development District. Each
subsequent phase of the District required Planning & Environmental Commission, Design Review Board and Town
Council approval. A Recommended Height Limitations Plan, and Recommended Landscape, Land Use & Building
Massing Plan, prepared by Royston, Hanamoto, Beck & Abbey was adopted. The plan identified limitations
resulting in the stepping-up of buildings from East Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road. The maximum
recommended height was 60 feet. The maximum height was later amended to 63 feet.
October 23, 1984 - The Vail Town Council and the Planning & Environmental Commission held a joint-
worksession to discuss an anticipated redevelopment proposal for Phase IV, Vail Village Inn. During the
discussion, staff highlighted the changes in the anticipated proposal to the previous proposal. The previous proposal
had been rejected by the Town Council in February of 1984. According to the staff memorandum the reasons for
denial of the project include:
"the impact of the multi-story building on views to Vail Mountain from the four-way intersection, the bulk,
mass and scale of the proposed building were too large, the loss of the gas station on the corner, the
proposed timing.of the completion of the project, the potential negative impacts to traffic circulation and
congestion on Vail Road and the South Frontage Road, and the use of the Phase III ramp for access to the
parking structure. "
October 29, 1984- An amended application for a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6 is
submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department on behalf of Mr. Tony Genth. The amended
application was in response to a major amendment proposal (Piccadilly proposal) for redeveloping Phases IV & V of
Special development District No. 6, which was denied by the Vail Town Council in February of 1984. The
amended proposal. reduced the number of hotel rooms from 182 to 164; eliminated Phase V so that the project would
be completed in one phase; eliminated the use of the ramp to Phase III as access to the parking structure; removed
the redevelopment of the gas station as part of the proposal; and reduced the amount of landscape area. In
addressing the review process for the amended application, staff states, .....close consideration will be given to the
structure's impact on the Frontage Road as well as the view corridor from the four-way stop. "
November 12,1984 -The Planning & Environmental Commission held a worksession to discuss the amended
application. According to the analysis provided by the applicant:
"The proposed VVI Phase IV submittal of October 29, 1984, meets the intent of the March 16, 1976,
schematic. In particular, Area B would be permitted by original document to have an elevation of 144'-0".
The proposed is 138'-0 Although a portion of the Area A is over the height limit, as it was in the 1983
submittal, it is felt that a sufficient portion of the mountain and ski runs can be seen from the main
intersection. "
Januarv 7,1985 -The Planning & Environmental Commission held a public hearing to make a final
recommendation to the Vail Town Council on the proposed and amended major amendment to Special Development
District No. 6., Vail Village Inn, Phase IV. According to the staff memorandum, staff stated that, "...the intent of
the height limitation on the SDD was to ensure a view from the four-way stop to the mountain and ...while the view
corridor has been shifted slightly, the height of the buildings in this area are in compliance with the maximum
heights outlined. " Following discussion on the request by the Commissioners, the Commission voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the major amendment, as proposed, to the Vail Town Council.
2
February 19, 1985 - The Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985, An Ordinance Amending
Ordinance No. 28, Series of 1976, To Provide For The Amendment Of The Approved Development Plan For
Special Development District No. 6; Amending The Purpose Section Of Special Development District No. 6;
Adopting An Amended Development Plan For Phase IV Of Special Development District No. 6; Eliminating
Certain Requirements Relating To The Distance Between Buildings For Phase IV Of Special Development District
No. 6; Changing The Height Requirements And Allowable Uses For Phase N Of Special Development District No.
6; Increasing The Allowable Density And Modifying The Building Bulk Standards For Phase N Of Special
Development District No. 6; And Providing Different Parking And Loading Requirements For Phase IV Of Special
Development District No. 6. In adopting Ordinance No. 1, the Town Council found that, "...the Council considers
that the amendments provide an even more unified and more aesthetically pleasing development of a critical site
within the Town and that such amendments are of benefit to the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the
Town of Vail. "
November 24,1996-An application was submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department by
Joseph Staufer requesting an 18-month extension of to the approval of Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985. The Vail
Town Council subsequently approved the 18-month extension. The approved extension has since lapsed resulting in
a null and void project approval. Any new development on the Phase IV site would require approvals from the
Town of Vail.
VAIL GATEWAY PLAZA DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
January 3, 1988 -An application is submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department on behalf
of Mr. Leo Palmer proposing the establishment of Special Development District No.21. The establishment of the
District would require a rezoning of the property from Heavy Service (gas station) to Commercial Core 1.
February 16, 1988 - The staff sends a letter to Mr. Peter Jamar, the applicant's representative. The purpose of the
letter is to inform the applicant of staff's initial concerns with the proposal. The staff, "...feels strongly that this
building should present no encroachment into the view corridor that is established by the approved Vail Village Inn
development. The existing design will require substantial revisions to maintain the view parameters established by
the VVI. "
February 22, 1988 -The Planning & Environmental Commission held a public hearing to discuss the SDD
proposal and the rezoning. In their memorandum to the Commission staff expressed a concern with the proposed
bulk and mass of the building and its effects on views to Vail Mountain. In the memorandum to the Commission,
the staff states,
"While the view corridor through the approved Vail Village Inn project front the four-way stop is not a
designated view corridor by ordinance, we feel it is a very important view upon entering the community.
The Vail Village Inn project responded to staff concerns and attempted to maintain an acceptable view
from the four-way stop. We feel strongly that the Vail Gateway project must respect the view corridor as
defined by the Vail Village Inn Building (Phase- V). "
The staff further expresses to the Commission that according to the initial work done by Eldon Beck on building
heights for the gas station, "The Eldon Beck study does show that building heights for the development of this parcel
of land should reach one to two stories. " The applicant was requesting a maximum building height of 62 feet.
March 9,1988-Jeff Winston, the Town's Urban Design Consultant, addresses the Commission. In his
presentation, Jeff offered a brief history on the development of the view corridor for the Vail Village Inn area.
According to the meeting minutes, Jeff states,
"Originally, a master plan for the entire VVI area was developed by Eldon Beck & Associates. The gas
station site was not part of'the original concept. He (Eldon Beck) emphasized that the "view corridor
concept" was an importantpart of the VVI Special Development District concept. He (Jeffs explained that
the Vail Village Inn plan was used as a guide during the many revisions to the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District. "
The following is the staff recommendation on the request to establish SDD No. 21,
3
"Staff generally supports the mixed use concept proposed in this redevelopment plan and the concept oj'
the rezoning to CC]. Although it may be considered spot zoning, we feel that the uses are compatible with
the adjacent Vail Village Inn Special development District and are appropriate for this location within the
community. However, we are not supportive of the uses proposed without the left turn lane and elimination
of the surfaceparking as well as adequate parkingprovisions. We feel that the general concept of
development proposed by the applicant is appropriate and believe that there is an opportunity here to
provide an exciting and aesthetically pleasing entrance into Vail.
The Community Development Department staff has, however, major concerns with the project as proposed.
We feel the issues of bulk and mass, height, setbacks, view corridor encroachment and parking are all
important issues that must be addressed. The staff recommendation for this project would be for the
Planning Commission to table this and allow the staff and the applicant to work together to try to resolve
some of these issues. We feel that with adequate resolution of the aforementioned issues, we could support
- this project. However. as presented, we feel there are major issues that need to be addressed and cannot
support this project as presented. Although many of the uses of the Heavy Service District would certainly
not be acceptable in this location, we feel that the existing service station is appropriate to this location.
We believe that SDD #21 as proposed, presents impacts that are not acceptable. If the applicant wishes to
prove forward with this project as proposed, staff recommendation is for denial. "
The following is a summary of the Commissioner's comments:
Pam Hopkins -"...concerned about the view."
Sid Schultz - the encroachment above the WI was not a significant problem. "
Diana Donovan-Did not comment on the view.
Jim.Viele - "...when the views were established and discussed, this four-way stop view corridor was
excluded from the approvals. "
Peter Patten (Planning Director) - the Town Council directed staff to address the four-way stop
corridor, and then the Vail Village Inn project came through the planningprocess, and at that point it
was decided to use the views established by the WI SDD instead of doing a second four-way stop view
corridor study. "
Bryan Hobbs - Did not comment on the view.
Peggy Osterfoss - the VVI view corridor was appropriate to maintain and she was not in favor of any
additional intrusion into the corridor. "
Grant Riva - the views f-om the four-way stop are important, but hopefully people would not spend too
much time at the four-way stop. "
The Commissioners voted 3-4 against a recommendation of approval to the Town Council. The dissenting votes
were Hopkins, Schultz, Donovan and Osterfoss. Of the four dissenting Commissioners, only Osterfoss indicated
that her reason for denial was, in part, based upon impacts on views.
April 5,1988 -The Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 9, Series of 1988, An Ordinance Rezoning Lot N
And A Portion Of Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village First Filing From Heavv Service District To Commercial Core I
An Establishing Special Development District No. 21. In part, the ordinance allowed a maximum height of 54 feet
for the Vail Gateway Plaza building and the further encroachment of a building into the view of Vail Mountain from
the four-way intersection.
July 29,1996 -An application is submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department, on behalf of
Charles R. Lipcon, proposing a major amendment to Special Development District No. 21. The purpose of the
amendment is to enclose an existing deck (460 sq. ft.) on the east side of the upper level of Condominium Unit No.
5.
August 26, 1996 - The Planning & Environmental Commission held a public hearing to evaluate the major
amendment request. In the memorandum to the Commission staff identified two main issues; impacts of the
proposed addition on views of Vail Mountain from the roundabout area and the compatibility of the proposed
addition with the architecture of the existing Gateway Building.
The following text was taken directly from the staff memorandum to the Planning & Environmental Commission,
August 26, 1996:
4
"The view issue was discussed during the PEC and Council reviews of the initial Gateway Building
proposal in the late 1980's. The impacts of the building's roof line on the view of Vail Mountain fr om the
original four-way-stop were the subject ofmuch discussion. A view analysis was requested by staffand
provided by the developer. That analysis compared the impacts of the roof lines proposed at the Gateway
Building with the approved development plan for Phase IV of the Vail Village Inn. Asa result of the view
analysis, the roof line of the Gateway Building was modified. The eastern-most ridge line was lowered and
the gap or 'itotch "between the eastern ridge and the western ridge was widened. Lowering the eastern
ridge had a positive effect on views, and the notch between the two main ridges also improved the view of
Vail Mountain fi-om the four-way stop. A copy of the view analysis is attached to this memorandum.
The Town recently completed the construction of a modern roundabout at the main Vail interchange. The
roundabout effectively replaced the 4-way stop. The geometry and fiunction of the roundabout is
dramatically different than the 4-way stop. Thus, staff re-visited the view impacts of the Gateway Building
related to the proposed addition. The addition will encroach into the notch between the two main ridge
lines on the building. Staff did both a drive-by and a walking analysis of view impacts from the south
roundabout area. We concluded that although the addition encroached into the notch between the ridge
lines, the impacts on views to Vail Mountain are relatively insignificant. The majority of the ski mountain
remains visible over the top of the Gateway Building.
The view through the notch is very small and is visible only for- a few seconds when driving around the
western half of the roundabout. Given the fact that cars in the roundabout are continuously in motion, staff
feels that visitors to the Town of Vail will be more intent on watching what is happening with other cars, or
trying to determine which exit to take, rather than attempting to look through the notch on the Gateway
Building to see Vail Mountain.
With regard to conformity to the Vail Village Master Plan, staff states,
`As discussed in Criteria A above, staff has reviewed the file and attached a copy of a View Analysis that
compares the approved Gateway roofine with the approved Vail Village Inn Phase IV expansion. Staff
feels that the construction of the roundabout has changed the area of the 4-way dramatically and that the
roundabout has created a more efficient traffic flow. Stafffeels that the area in and around the roundabout
is not conducive to pedestrians lingering and viewing the mountain and feels that views of Vail Mountain,
through the notch in the Gateway Building are not as important as they may have been when the Land Use
Plan was originally approved. Staff believes that significant views are still available over the top of the
existing Gateway Building, and that the proposed addition would have little, or no impact on the overall
view.
The Building Height Plan shows the Gateway Building at 5 stories, and indicates that it does not conform
to the plan (story height at 9 feet). The elevation of the existing ridge is 54 feet above grade along the
south elevation. The applicant wishes to extend this ridge line approximately 28 feet to the east. This will
raise the height of the building in the notch area. Staff believes that the additional height is not detrimental
given the mass, bulk and height of the entire building. "
Lastly, in reviewing the criteria for a major amendment to an existing SDD, staff states,
"During the discussion of the original SDD, an Amoco Station was present on the site. This was a one-
stay building that allowed for significant views over its rooffrom the area of the 4-way stop. Phase IV of
the Vail Village Inn had not been constructed, and views of the lowerportion of the mountain still existed
The PEC and Council members were reacting strongly to the significant loss of views resulting from the
approval of Phase IV of'the Vail Village Inn. The Town officials simply did not want to loose anymore of
the mountain view f-om the 4-way stop. Thus, it is understandable that the building height and its impacts
on views was thoroughly discussed at that time.
Stafffeels that the change in conditions at the main Vail interchange (i.e. roundabout construction)
combined with the existing location of the Gateway Building and its roofline have made the view issue
clearer. Stafffeels that the notch between the eastern and the western ridges on the Gateway Building is
no longer as important a view as it was considered during the original SDD discussions. Thus, stafffeels
that the proposed addition does not significantly alter the building design or significantly impede views of
Vail Mountain from the entryway to Town. "

recommend approval of the major amendment request to the Vail Town Council. In making the recommendation,
the Commission found that,
"That the requested major amendment to Special Development District #21. has been reviewed in

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: November 22, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for a rezoning from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation,
located at 1950 Chamonix /.Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision.
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie
Planner: Allison Ochs
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Town of Vail is requesting a rezoning of Primary/Secondary to Outdoor. Recreation
at 1950 Chamonix / Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision. This property is located adjacent
to Buffehr Creek Park, which is currently zoned Outdoor Recreation, and is the proposed
site of the Buffehr Creek Park expansion. While a Conditional Use Permit is required for
a park in both the Primary/Secondary Zone District and the. Outdoor Recreation Zone
District, the Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning to allow the park expansion to be
included as Designated Open Space (the existing park is already Designated Open
Space) in the future. This designation means that Buffehr Creek Park will be open
space in perpetuity unless voters determine otherwise. The purpose (12-86-1) of the
Outdoor Recreation Zone District is as follows:
"The Outdoor Recreation District is intended to preserve undeveloped or open
space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational
activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas,
facilities and uses."
The Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning first, will then return to the neighborhood for
more input on the design of the park, and finally, will return to the Planning and
Environmental Commission for the Conditional Use Permit and resubdivision which will
vacate the lot line between the existing park and the proposed park expansion onto lot
34.
II. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BOARDS
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.

Town Council: l
ACTION: THE TOWN COUNCIL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FINAL APPROVAL OR
DENIAL OF A REZONING.
The Town Council shall review and approve 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.
Ill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor
Recreation of the above property subject to the following findings:
1. That the proposed zoning is suitable with the existing land use on the site and
adjacent uses.
2. That the rezoning does not prevent a convenient workable relationship with land
uses consistent with municipal objectives.
3. That the rezoning provides for the growth of an orderly, viable community.
4. That the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Land Use Plan.
IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
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?
The purpose of this application is to allow for the rezoning of Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation. Adjacent
properties are zoned Primary/Secondary and Outdoor Recreation (see attached
map). Residential development has occurred on the lots to the east and west,
while Buffehr Creek Park is directly adjacent to the South. A conditional use
permit is required for the proposed park development on the lot. The Outdoor .
Recreation Zone District does not allow for any residential or commercial
development and limits both permitted and conditional uses to outdoor
recreational activities.
2) Is the amendment preventing a convenient workable relationship with land
uses consistent with municipal objectives.
The rezoning of Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision is consistent with stated
municipal objectives. The lot was identified as a high priority in the
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan to acquire and protect . the riparian
environment. This rezoning will limit development to outdoor recreational
activities.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Allison Ochs, Community Development Department
Gregg Barrie, Public Works
DATE: December 21, 1999
SUBJECT: A discussion of the conceptual design of Buffehr Creek Park and
Ordinance #37, Series of 1999, an ordinance rezoning. Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision, from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation.
Public Process
Buffehr Creek Park was developed as a neighborhood park in the late 1980's.
Presently, the park consists of an open turf area, landscaping, picnic tables, and a small
parking lot. In 1993, the Comprehensive Open Lands plan identified Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision, which is adjacent to the existing park, as a high priority for acquisition
(see adjacent map). It was purchased with funds from the Real Estate Transfer Tax
(RETT) in 1996 and identified as the location for Buffehr Creek Park expansion. Public
meetings were held earlier this year to begin gathering comments and suggestions from
the neighborhood regarding the proposed expansion of the park on both the existing
park site and Lot 34. In June, a survey was delivered to neighborhood residents to
gather more ideas about the park. This information was then analyzed by Town of Vail
staff and the results were mailed to residents and presented at another neighborhood
meeting in early November. The park is currently in the Town's approval process and
has been through one conceptual Design Review Board meeting and heard for the
rezoning request and a worksession on the Conditional Use Permit application by the
Planning and Environmental Commission. At its November 22, 1999, meeting, the
Planning and Environmental Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning
of Lot-34 to the Town Council.
Rezoning Request
Lot 34 is located adjacent to Buffehr Creek Park, which is currently zoned Outdoor
Recreation. Lot 34 is currently zoned Primary/Secondary. While a Conditional Use
Permit is required for a park in both the Primary/Secondary Zone District and the
Outdoor Recreation Zone District, the Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning to permit
Lot 34 to be included as Designated Open Space, which requires a zoning designation
of one of the open space zone districts. The existing park is already Designated Open
Space. This designation means that Buffehr Creek Park will be open space in perpetuity
unless voters determine otherwise. The purpose (12-813-1) of the Outdoor Recreation
Zone District is as follows:
"The Outdoor Recreation District is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space
lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that
provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses."
The Planning and Environmental Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the rezoning. The staff memo from the November 22, 1999, Planning and
Environmental Commission meeting has been attached for reference.
3) Does the zoning provide for the growth of an orderly, viable community?
Zoning of the site as- Outdoor Recreation allows for the development of a
neighborhood park through a Conditional Use Permit process by restricting
development. Parks are an integral part of any community. With the Town of
Vail's emphasis on outdoor activities, along with its natural beauty, this zoning
helps to provide for an orderly, viable community.
4) Is the change consistent with the Land Use Plan?
The following are goals and policies of the Land Use Plan staff believes are
related to the proposed zoning:
1.1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial, and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water, and other natural
resources should be protected as the Town grows.
2.7 The Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands
while continuing to purchase open space.
In addition, Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision discussed in the Comprehensive
Open Lands Plan. Lot 34, Buffehr Creek was listed as a high priority to protect
the riparian area on Buffehr Creek.

MEMORANDUM
TO: George Ruthem
FROM: Jay K. Peterson
DATE: December 16, 1999
RE: Vail Plaza Hotel
Dear George:
During the Town Council work session of December 7, 1999, various questions were
asked by the Town Council, the following are our responses to those questions.
Questions from Rod Slifer
1. Traffic. Rod raised a concern about the traffic generated by our project on Vail
Road.
Before finalizing our redesign of the hotel by shifting our entrance from the South
Frontage Road to Vail Road our traffic consultant prepared his recommendations regarding the
level of service currently on Vail Road and the level of service after the construction of the hotel.
Those conclusions are found in our comprehensive traffic study. No left turn lane was
necessary.
We have, however, provided a plan showing a left turn lane into the hotel and the
impacts to our site should such lane be needed in the future. The traffic consultant will be
available on December 21, 1999 to answer any questions regarding his study.
2. Loading and Delivery. Rod also raised a concern about the way on loading and
delivery is being handled. The loading and delivery area was totally redesigned from the
previous proposal. The architects, traffic consultants and the Vail public works department
worked through various designs with the final design meeting the zoning and public works
criteria. The traffic consultant will address the impacts to the Frontage Road and the possible
conflict between the shared access with Phase III and the loading area.
3. Austria Haus. Rod also questioned the Austria Haus occupancy numbers.
The staff has verified that the "fractional fee" occupancy rate exceeds 90%.
Questions from Diana
1. Gateway Zoning. The Gateway site was originally zoned Heavy Service with no
permitted uses, no general commercial uses, no residential density, twenty foot setbacks and a
maximum height of 35 to 38 feet. During the SDD process, the underlying zoning was changed
to allow for general commercial uses and residential uses. The SDD process does not allow for
uses outside the underlying zoning and therefore the underlying zoning was changed to the CCI.
Obstructed views from the 4-way stop was also a concern of the town staff and town consultant.
A further encroachment was later allowed after completion of the building.
Prior to the sale of any unit in the Gateway, the new owner has been put on notice that he
has no claim or right to an unobstructed view across the VVI property. (See attached
Encroachment and View Agreement).
2. Sun/shade on the Frontage Road. The new building will have an impact on the
Frontage Road as any building would in mid-winter. We have mitigated this impact by
providing heated walkways, loading and exit ramps.
3. Trash and Recycling. The trash and recycling is being provided for in the loading
and delivery area. Recycled materials need riot be picked up on a daily basis.
4. Vail Road Traffic - See above comments.
5. Employee Housing. Diana suggested that employee housing is best provided in
town. The applicant's preference is to locate all housing in the Town of Vail, if feasible. We
believe flexibility is needed because of the lack of private land, properly zoned, in the Town of
Vail.
6. Trees. The trees near East Meadow Drive bus stop can remain.
Questions from Sybil Navas
1. Vail Road Traffic - See above comments.
2. Employee Housing - See above comments.
-2-
3. Left turn from loading area.
- See traffic report
- Consultant will be present
- See above comments.
4. View over the Gateway. The mountain view over the land under the Gateway
building has been a long discussed topic over the years. Prior to the Gateway building being
constructed and the round-a-bout replacing the 4-way stop, all plans for the VVI site have
respected the view in that area. There was never an established "view corridor" as we have in
the other parts of town and consideration was given to establishing such a view corridor, but was
rejected. The Gateway building and the round-a-bout make the point moot.
Questions from Ludwig Kurtz
1. Vail Road Traffic - See above comments.
2. Employee Housing - See above comments.
.Questions from Greg Moffett
1. "Fractional Fee" Capital Improvements. The "fractional fee" owners will be
responsible for their fair share of capital improvements, but to the extent allowed by the
Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act the owner of the hotel portion will control the
expenditures for capital improvements.
Questions from Kevin Foley
1. Parkin . The number and location of handicap spaces will be according to law.
2. Phase III Parking. If this project is approved, discussions with Phase III owners
to eliminate the East parking ramp will be instigated.
3. Employee Housing - See above comments.
Questions from Chuck Ogilby
I . Employee Housing - See above comments.
2. Trees by bus stop - See above comments.
-3-
All questions asked by the public will be answered during the meeting.

Dear Mayor Kurz
The following is in reference to the proposed use ol'Chalet Road for possible valet parking. We
also understand there have been some discussion regarding changes in the golden Peak north lot
usage-
The Rams Horn Lodge Condominium Association was active in discussions regarding the
redevelopment ot'Golden Peak and supportive of the redevelopment. Much of the support was
based on the reduction of surface parking in the Golden Peak north lot. It was our understanding
that the lot would not be used for any long term parking and would serve as a skier drop oll'arena
only. A second factor in support of Golden Peak was that the neighborhood would not be subject
to increased congestion.
It is the Rams Horn concern that the changes in valet. parking being considered would have a
negative impact on the neighborhood and worsen any trallic situations currently being
experienced. 11'valet parking is not working properly perhaps it should be removed from the
Golden Peak area entirely.
We are sorry that do to schedule conflicts, we cannot have a representative at the Golden Peak
Management Committee meeting set for December 8, 1999. This letter should serve as our
position on the matter.
Sincerely
Norn, 1). Kurtz
Preside t
t:: East Village Homeowners Association
Vehicular traffic is not permitted in either of the other two ski portals in Vail and should be actively
discouraged at Golden Peak. The concept of using Chalet Road for valet parking is a stillborn .
idea that will only make a bad situation worse.
We strongly recommend that a comprehensive traffic study be initiated for the entire Golden Peak
Ski Basin area before any plan is adopted.

Dear Jim: Yes--we at TTH are opposed to the valet parking on Chalet Rd which
is usually closed off during the winter with only a foot way (made by walkers
from TTHouses etc.) open. They used it for some parking during the World
Championships last Feb. but then it was mostly left unplowed with a concrete
road barrier closing off its entrance into Gore Creek Dr. (opposite TTH).
Keep us posted. I shall be in Vail December 21 st for about 3 weeks. Very
best. Lee Edwards, Pres. TTHA

RE: Chalet Road - Valet Parking
Dear Mayor Kurz and Members of the Town Council:
The Board of the All Seasons Condominium Association vehemently objects to the
introduction of any additional parking in the Golden Peak Ski Basin area.
We were told several years ago when the Town of Vail and Vail Resorts wanted to build
a new facility including underground parking at Golden Peak that there was going to be
no surface parking temporary or otherwise. Subsequently the Town permitted the use of
short-term parking in order to facilitate the ill-conceived valet parking program. The
valet parking at Golden Peak has only contributed to the already horrendous traffic
conditions in the area.
The Board of All Seasons respectfully suggests that instead of the valet parking program
that the Town Council consider using only mass transit to bring people to the Golden
Peak Ski Portal. It makes more sense to have people park their cars at the Ford Parking
lot and be transferred by bus to Golden Peak than to have all of the attendant traffic that
comes with skiers accessing the mountain through the Valet Parking system in addition to
all the other traffic created by the Children's Ski School Center and Ski Club Vail.
Vehicular traffic is not permitted in either of the other two ski portals in Vail and should
be actively discouraged at Golden Peak. The concept of using Chalet Road for valet
parking is a stillborn idea that will only make a bad situation worse.
We strongly recommend that a comprehensive traffic study be initiated for the entire
Golden Peak Ski Basin area before any plan is adopted.
Respect lly yours,

Mayor Kurz and Counsel
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Counsel,
Three years ago I was hired by the Town of Vail to provide a valet service at Gold Peak and I
frequently consult on and execute a variety of creative parking solutions. We provide a top end
service oriented business while maximizing the number of cars parked. For the past two years we
have been successful in meeting the needs of our guests and increasing parking capacity in Vail.
We believe Chalet road to be a grossly underutilized asset. We are requesting the use of the
road to enhance our service and as a way to safely maximize parking in Vail.
Through further research additional benefits have surfaced.
If Counsel approves the use of Chalet Road...
Additional free parking at Ford Paris
. additional space will be freed up at Ford Park. As we all know, the locals/employees would
enjoy the gift of more free parking.
Decreasing traffic in neighborhood
traffic on Vail Valley Drive will be reduced due to less shuttling of vehicles up and down Vail
Valley Drive. Since traffic in the neighborhood is of great concern to surrounding homeowners,
these results should please them.
Advancing the image of Vail through improving our service
valet service will be even better. Many say the way for Vail to regain its place at the top is for
all businesses to offer better amenities and services. We are attempting to play our part in the
big concept of improving Vail. Through the use of Chalet Road, we can be even better!
Employee efficiency
we will provide a better service with less staff. Another problem within Vail is a deficiency in
employees. Looking through the classifieds it becomes painfully obvious there are many
businesses operating completely understaffed, just making it by. Your approval of Chalet Road
will enable us to operate with less staff leaving more for other businesses so they can increase
their.services as well. We all know that poor service is not necessarily a function of bad
employees, but of too few..
Thank you for considering our request. We wanted to put in writing what we see as the true value
of granting the use of Chalet road.
Sin rely,
Deborah Warren

2000 Inc. 500
Colorado Conference
FACT SHEET
WHO
Colorado will host the top 500 fastest-growing, privately held
companies this summer at the Millennium Inc. 500 Conference.
Historically all 500 winners attend, with the exception of 1997 when
two companies were unable to attend. In addition to current
winners, alumni and Inc.'s national sponsors are also included on
the invitation list.
WHAT
This year marks the 18th annual Inc. 500 Conference. The
conference brings together the top 500 winners for three days for
both business and pleasure. The conference is comprised of four
different tracks of discussion from management styles to
information technology. Additionally, the conference is the site of
the black-tie gala at which the 500 awards are given. Traditionally,
the conference has been set in large, predominantly east-coast cities.
This is the first time it has been held in Colorado and the first time
in a resort town.
WHEN
The conference will run from Wednesday, July 12, 2000 until
Friday, July 14, 2000. There are formal program offerings on the
13th and 14th with the Inc. 500 Golf Tournament and the Governor's
tH
Reception being held on the 12.
Y
WHERE .
The Conference will be held exclusively in the town of Vail.. The
Exhibitor Pavilion and breakout sessions will be held at the Lodge
at Vail with attendees staying at various properties throughout the
Village, but primarily: Lodge; Sonnenalp, Lodge Tower, Vail
Athletic Club, Willows, and Manor Vail. The larger, General
Sessions (600-1100 people) will be held at the Dobson Ice Arena.
Attendees will get a true feeling for Vail living as they walk from
their hotels to the various locations for breakout and general
sessions. The Governor's Reception will be held the first evening of
the conference directly behind the Lodge. The second night's
reception will be held at the beautiful Four-Eagle Ranch in an
attempt to give the attendees a feel for the genuine Colorado
experience. The attendees will have the opportunity to participate
in getaway tours that will showcase the Colorado lifestyle. There
will be a business getaway to Denver with an emphasis on the ease in
doing business in Colorado.
WHY
Each year, the Inc. 500 conference descends upon a city. They bring
into that city approximately 1200 people for an average of four days.
Each state that has hosted the Inc. 500 has reported positive
Economic Development outcomes including the growth and/or
relocation of attending companies into their state. With Colorado's
impressive qualities as a place to business it makes sense to
showcase all that Colorado has to offer businesses and families.
With extremely educated workforce, high percentage of online
population, high percentage of tech jobs and amount of venture
capital as a percentage of GSP Colorado is a perfect match for the
profile of the Inc. 500 companies. As we strive for a "New
Economy," these are the companies we want to encourage to come
to Colorado.

COLORADO ECONOMIC BRIEFING
Third Quarter 1999
Colorado's economy has been among the top performers in the nation during this longest peacetime economic
expansion since the 1960's. Following are excerpts from several economic rankings:
REPORT CARD FOR THE STATES - The prestigious Corporation for Enterprise Development, an objective
and well respected policy organization based in Washington, D.C., produces an annual "Report Card for the
States" to assess how well each state's economy is doing in over 50 benchmark measures.
Colorado has earned straight A's in each of the three major indexes contained in the report card - Economic
Performance, Business Vitality, and Development Capacity, for five consecutive years. And Colorado has
made the honor roll for six years running. NO OTHER STATE HAS HAD EVEN TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS
OF "STRAIGHT A'S"
CYBERSTATES 3.0 - The American Electronics Association issued its third edition of Cyberstates in June
1999. This report is a state-by-state overview of the high technology industry. Colorado ranked fourth in the
nation in high tech job growth from 1990 through 1997, with a 43% growth rate. The national average for the
same period was 26%. Colorado placed second in the nation in concentration of high technology workers, with
80 per 1,000 private sector workers.
STATE "NEW ECONOMY" INDEX - A 1999 report on the "State New Economy Index" produced by the
Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) ranked Colorado 3`d in the nation for states most advanced in emerging
toward a "New Economy" based on ideas, knowledge, innovation and technology.
This ranking was based on 17 economic indicators determined to best measure progress toward a "New
Economy" where the future success of state economies will depend on how effectively they can spur
technological innovation, entrepreneurship, education and specialized skills. Some of the notable rankings
that propelled Colorado to the Number 3 position:
Indicator Colorado Rank
Workforce Education (Weighted measure 1
of Census Educational Attainment)
Online Population (Percentage of Adults 2
with Internet Access)
High Tech Jobs (As a percent of total 2
employment)
Venture Capital (Venture Capital invested 3
as a percentage of Gross State Product)
Initial Public Offerings (Value of IPO's as 4
share of GSP)
Managerial, Professional &-Technical 4
Jobs (Share of Total Workforce)
Commercial Internet Domain Names 6
Indicator Colorado Rank
(Number of com names per firm
Some of the economic indicators that led to these rankings include:
• First in the nation in short term job growth (70,500 net new jobs added in 1998).
• Sixth in the nation in long term (ten year) average job growth.
• Second in the nation in Gross State Product growth, and projected to remain in the top five states
for GSP growth through 2005.
• Census Bureau projections rank Colorado as the sixth fastest growing state from 1995 through
2005.
• Fourth in the nation in economic diversity.
• First in the nation in percent of adult population with a college degree (34%).
• Third in the nation for Science & Engineering Graduate Students (per million population).
• Second in the nation for High Tech Workers (80 per 1,000 workers).
STATE RANKINGS 1999 - Colorado's high marks in economic performance are not at the expense of quality
of life. Morgan Quitno Publishing Company's "State Rankings 1999" awarded Colorado the Number 2 spot in
its "Most Livable State Index" based on rankings of 43 factors that covered economic, educational, health,
public safety and environmental statistics.
Many of Colorado's communities have won accolades in various rankings for both business and quality of life.

Meeting was called to order by Ross Boyle at 7:35 am.
Introduced Bob Batchelor and Pam Ste:nmark as new appointees to Advisory Council
from Vail Town Council. Mayor has asked for input from Advisory Council regarding
adding an additional two seats due to their having a number of good candidates and the
need to build a good working group for eventual turnover of Local Marketing District
governance. Concurred that adding two additional members was a good idea. Johnson to
communicate to town staff that council should notify the neat two members.
Asked for Greg, Bob, and Pam to decide which committees they would like to serve on. .
.Greg volunteered for PR, Pam for Group, and Bob for Destination. Neat two appointees
will serve on Internet and Front Range,.
Reviewed Destination Plan for 2000...(copies distributed at meeting) Questions
surrounded cost effectiveness of package media buys, can we really carry out a branding
strategy with this amount of money? Group concurred to move forward with "branding"
strategy and grow business in markets where we've been successful in the past. This
approach must be a long term strategy, as immediate results may be hard to measure. .
.Greg advised that we should look at the long range impacts and not be too focused on
immediate results. Plan was approved.
Reviewed Group Plan for 2000...(copies distributed at meeting) Questions surrounded
the branding message ...can it work fop both FIT and Group travel? Answer is that

overall message with "tailoring" can work for both. Focus on "owning" group business
coming from 5 key target cities, building relationships over time through increased
emphasis on direct sales and reduced emphasis on generalized advertising. Plan was
approved.
Discussed INC. 500 group meeting in Vail in summer of 2000...CEO's of 500 fastest
growing small companies in America. Very influential group, Governor's office of
economic development is involved, adding a layer of complexity in planning. Slifer.
suggested that we work hard to entertain them with our unique, "fun" settings. Garth
welcomes anyone who would like to volunteer to help in hosting.
Discussed the need for a Summer Video, particularly in group market ...Garth is
attempting to negotiate production for "trade out"...will keep group advised.
Discussed "call to action" phone number for summer materials. Boyle indicated that
TCB could isolate calls originating from Local Marketing District program, and offer
Vail product to those callers ...did Vail/Beaver Creek want to do the same ...Jarnot
indicated that they would prefer not to muddy the water for the customer and would not
expect to be the call to action.
Slifer brought up hours of operation/ service levels/etc. and would the TCB want to
adhere to what Advisory Council laid out? Will discuss further at future meetings.
Rosenthal brought up pricing differential for TCB members vs non members in SVG. .
thought there should be only one price. Johnson and Rosenthal to work out.
NEXT MEETING ...MONDAY DECEMBER 20...7:30 TILL 9:30 AM, VAIL
TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
Will review PR plan, Front Range plan, and get first cut at creative concepts in order

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.

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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Allison Ochs, Community Development Department
Gregg Barrie, Public Works
DATE: December 21, 1999
SUBJECT: A discussion of the conceptual design of Buff ehr Creek Park and
Ordinance #37, Series of 1999, an ordinance rezoning Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision, from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation.
Public Process
Buffehr Creek Park was developed as a neighborhood park in the late 1980's.
Presently, the park consists of an open turf area, landscaping, picnic tables, and a small
parking lot. In 1993, the Comprehensive Open Lands plan identified Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision, which is adjacent to the existing park, as a high priority for acquisition
(see adjacent map). It was purchased with funds from the Real Estate Transfer Tax
(RETT) in 1996 and identified as the location for Buffehr Creek Park expansion. Public
meetings were held earlier this year to begin gathering comments and suggestions from
the neighborhood regarding the proposed expansion of the park on both the existing
park site and Lot 34. In June, a survey was delivered to neighborhood residents to
gather more ideas about the park. This information was then analyzed by Town of Vail
staff and the results were mailed to residents and presented at another neighborhood
meeting in early November. The park is currently in the Town's approval process and
has been through one conceptual Design Review Board meeting and heard for the
rezoning request and a worksession on the Conditional Use Permit application by the
Planning and Environmental Commission. At its November 22, 1999, meeting, the
Planning and Environmental Commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning
of Lot 34 to the town Council.
Rezoning Request
Lot 34 is located adjacent to Buffehr Creek Park, which is currently zoned Outdoor
Recreation. Lot 34 is currently zoned Primary/Secondary. While a Conditional Use
Permit is required for a park in both the Primary/Secondary Zone District and the
Outdoor Recreation Zone District, the Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning to permit
Lot 34 to be included as Designated Open Space, which requires a zoning designation
of one of the open space zone districts. The existing park is already Designated Open
Space. This designation means that Buffehr Creek Park will be open space in perpetuity
unless voters determine otherwise. The purpose (12-813-1) of the Outdoor Recreation
Zone District is as follows:
"The Outdoor Recreation District is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space
lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that
provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses."
The Planning and Environmental Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the rezoning. The staff memo from the November 22, 1999, Planning and
Environmental Commission meeting has been attached for reference.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: November 22, 1999
SUBJECT: A request for a rezoning from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation,
located at 1950 Chamonix / Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision.
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie
Planner: Allison Ochs
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Town of Vail is requesting a rezoning of Primary/Secondary to Outdoor. Recreation
at 1950 Chamonix / Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision. This property is located adjacent
to Buffehr Creek Park, which is currently zoned Outdoor Recreation, and is the proposed
site of the Buffehr Creek Park expansion. While a Conditional-Use Permit is required for
a park in both the Primary/Secondary Zone District and the. Outdoor Recreation Zone
District, the Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning to allow the park expansion to be
included as Designated Open Space (the existing park is already Designated Open
Space) in the future. This designation means that Buffehr Creek Park will be open
space in perpetuity unless voters determine otherwise. The purpose (12-813-1) of the
Outdoor Recreation Zone District is as follows:
"The Outdoor Recreation District is intended to preserve undeveloped or open
space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational
activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas,
facilities and uses."
The Town of Vail is requesting the rezoning first, will then return to the neighborhood for
more input on the design of the park, and finally, will return to the Planning and
Environmental Commission for the Conditional Use Permit and resubdivision which will
vacate the lot line between the existing park and the proposed park expansion onto lot
34.
II. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BOARDS
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.
TOWik OF PAIL
Town Council:
ACTION: THE TOWN COUNCIL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FINAL APPROVAL OR
DENIAL OF A REZONING.
The Town Council shall review and approve 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.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor
Recreation of the above property subject to the following findings:
1. That the proposed zoning is suitable with the existing land use on the site and
adjacent uses.
2. That the rezoning does not prevent a convenient workable relationship with land
uses consistent with municipal objectives.
3. That the rezoning provides for the growth of an orderly, viable community.
4. That the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Land Use Plan.
IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
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?
The purpose of this application is to allow for the rezoning of Lot 34, Buffehr
Creek Subdivision from Primary/Secondary to Outdoor Recreation. Adjacent
properties are zoned Primary/Secondary and Outdoor Recreation (see attached
map). Residential development has occurred on the lots to the east and west,
while Buffehr Creek Park is directly adjacent to the South. A conditional use
permit is required for the proposed park development on the lot. The Outdoor
Recreation Zone District does not allow for any residential or commercial
development and limits both permitted and conditional uses to outdoor
recreational activities.
2) Is the amendment preventing a convenient workable relationship with land
uses consistent with municipal objectives.
The rezoning of Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision is consistent with stated
municipal objectives. The lot was identified as a high priority in the
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan to acquire and protect the riparian
environment. This rezoning will limit development to outdoor recreational
activities.
2
3) Does the zoning provide for the growth of an orderly, viable community?
Zoning of the site as Outdoor Recreation allows for the development of a
neighborhood park through a Conditional Use Permit process by restricting
development. Parks are an integral part of any community. With the Town of
Vail's emphasis on outdoor activities, along with its natural beauty, this zoning
helps to provide for an orderly, viable community.
4) Is the change consistent with the Land Use Plan?
The following are goals and policies of the Land Use Plan staff believes are
related to the proposed zoning:
1.1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial, and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water, and other natural
resources should be protected as the Town grows.
2.7 The. Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands
while continuing to purchase open space.
In addition, Lot 34, Buffehr Creek Subdivision discussed in the Comprehensive
Open Lands Plan. Lot 34, Buffehr Creek was listed as a high priority to protect
the riparian area on Buffehr Creek.

NINE VAIL ROAD
Condominiums in Vail Village
To: Town Council, Town of Vail
From: Gwen Scalpello, 9 Vail Road Homeowners Association President Formerly the Holiday House
Date: December 16, 1999
Subject: Vail Plaza Hotel Special Development District Amendment Proposal
Being located directly across Vail Road from the proposed Vail Plaza Hotel, we at 9 Vail Road
Condominiums have strong feelings about the proposed complex. We support redevelopment of the
current facility and welcome the prospect of an attractive new neighbor. At the same time, we feel the
current proposal creates major problems for Vail Road and we ask the Vail Town Council to pursue a
dialog with the applicants that will bring about changes in the following areas:
1. Im~act_on Vail Road traffic.
The origin: l plan showed the hotel entrance on the Frontage Road. The current proposal, to locate the
guest entryiexit portico on Vail Road, alleviates the problems of left-turning exit traffic so close to the
roundabout. It also creates a new left-turn oroblem on Vail Road. Our owners are concerned about the
.increased traffic on Vail Road and the potential for congestion which would affect residential and
emergency traffic on Vail Road. If registration, valet and self park traffic entered from the Frontage Road
and exited onto Vail Road, entry and exit left turn problems for guests would be eliminated.
Jf this is not feasible, provision for three lanes to the hotel entrance should be made now, especially
considering the reduced setbacks currently proposed for the building. Vail Road is four lanes wide at the
roundabout and narrows to two lanes at West Meadow Drive, where left turns into the village are
prohibited. Left turns into a major hotel and conference center should be provided a separate lane.
The traffic projection which concludes a left turn is unnecessary may prove understated in light of growth
from projects already on the planning horizon (for example, Lodge at Vail land swap, medical center
expansion). Additionally, the traffic impact analysis was based on traffic in August 1998 and uplifted for
winter volumes. We are concerned that its focus on "weekday" traffic does not adequately address the
traffic of winter Saturdays, historically the primary "turnover" day, which bring more congestion to town
than the average weekday. To not require a left turn lane because of this study would be short-sighted.
Without a third lane to allow through traffic flow, the roundabout could be affected.
2. Setbacks
The primary justifi afian for the reduced setback'on Vail Road seems to be that it conforms to a line of
sight from a point of the Gateway to a point of Phase',/. These buildings have been specifically designed
to bring pedestrian traffic into shops and reStaura?t.> which open onto streetside pedestrian walks. No
such plan is v..pparent in the V0 Plaza Hotei proposal. If entry traffic were rerouted to the Frontage Road,
an attracl:ive rr:i;aii and pedestrian s;i eetscarae srr? iia.r to That of the Austria Haus could be developed which
would link the adjacent Vail Road retail spares. The current proposal seems to both isolate and dwarf
