VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
EVENING MEETING
TUESDAY, January 16, 2001
7:00 P.M. IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS
NOTE: Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied
upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item.
1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. (5 mins.)
2. Approval of December 5 and 19, 2000 Town Council minutes.
(5 mins.)
3. Vail Chamber and Business Association Funding Request.
Kaye Ferry (30 mins.)
Steve Rosenthal
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Enclosed in your packet, Council will
find a business plan submitted by the Vail Chamber and Buiness
Association (VCBA). Should the business plan satisfy Council's
concerns, staff would draft a contract based on the VCBA's ability
to implement their business plan. The final decision to be made
would be on funding. The VCBA has requested up to $240,000
from the business license fee for its first year of operation. The
Council has previously discussed either a one-time allocation or
quarterly advances based on accountability and fulfillment of
requested action outcomes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Proceed with a decision on fending
the Y2001 budget for the VCBA.
4. ITEM/TOPIC: First reading of an ordinance amending section 1-5-
Tom Moorhead 11 C. of the Town Code establishing the order of business at regular
and special meetings of the Town Council. (5 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider adoption of
Ordinance #1, Series of 2001.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Upon occasion there have been
public hearings involving matters that are not the consideration of
ordinances, resolutions and motions that attract a large number of
interested parties and the general public. Under the circumstances
it may be appropriate to consider those other matters earlier in the
agenda than established by the Order Of Business as set forth in
Section 1-5-11C. This amendment will give the Mayor authority when
considering the agenda to vary the order of business to facilitate an
orderly process to the Council meeting and allow a matter of great
public interest to be considered earlier in the course of the Council
business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Ordinance 1, Series of 2001.
I
5. ITEM/TOPIC: First reading of Ordinance 2, Series of 2UU1; an
Brent VViison ordinance amending the Town of Vail Subdivision Regulations to allow
for the creation of a subdivision exemption and correction plat review
process. (20 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Approve, approve with modifications, or deny the ordinance on first
reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE:
The Town of Vail Subdivision Regulations currently limit
applications for basic land subdivision to two types of review: 1)
major subdivisions, and 2) minor subdivisions. However, the Town
frequently handles applications that fall outside the purview of
these processes. Under the current code, minor plat changes
(corrections, plat note amendments, etc.) are routed through the
minor subdivision process, even though a formal subdivision of
land may not occur. Additionally, applicants who wish to plat
existing unplatted properties must create a minimum of two parcels
in order to comply with current code requirements. This has proven
problematic for applicants.
In an attempt to make the subdivision review process more "user
friendly," staff is presenting a proposed new chapter that allows for
an administrative review process for "exemption" and "correction"
plats. The process is modeled after our existing "minor
amendment" process for special development districts. Tars new
process would allow for staff review of certain plats with a PEC
affirmation/denial at a public hearing.
Subdivision regulations from a number of jurisdictions across
Colorado (Eagle County, Jefferson County, Douglas County, City of
Aurora) as well as enabling legislation from state statutes were
researched while preparing these amendments. Please refer to the
staff memorandum for a detailed summary of the proposed
changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
On January 8th, the PEC voted unanimously to recornmend
approval of the proposed amendments.
The Department of Community Development recommends that the
Town Council approve the proposed amendments to the Subdivision
Regulations.
6. Appointment of Barbie Christopher to unexpired term of Trish
Kiesewetter for the Art in Public Places Board. (5 mins.)
7. Town Manager's Report. (5 mins.)

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL - MINUTES
TUESDAY, December 5, 2000
7:00 P.M.
The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held in the Town Council Chambers
on Tuesday, December 5, 2000. The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:00
P.M. This was proceeded by a special meeting of the Local Marketing District Board of
Directors with the Vail Town Council sitting as that board. This meeting began at 6:30
P.M.

Special meeting of the Vail Local Marketing District Board of Directors. Sitting as the
Vail Local Marketing District, Councilmembers voted 6-0 to approve a $2 million
marketing budget for 2001, as presented by Ross Boyle, Chairman of the Vail Local
Marketing District Advisory Committee. The budget includes an estimated $1.6 million
in revenues from the 1.4 percent lodging tax; plus $80,000, which represents a portion
of the town's business license fee; and an additional $324,000 from Y2000 fund
balance. The funding will be used to market Vail during the summer and shoulder
season periods. During the discussion, Councilmember Diana Donovan expressed
concerns about an eight-percent coordination and management contract with the Vail
Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau (VVTCB). With merger discussions underway
between VVTCB and the Vail Valley Chamber of Commerce, Donovan said a Vail-only
election emphasis, which was used during the 1999 campaign to approve the lodging
tax, could be jeopardized. However, Councilmember Greg Moffet said the contract is a
fee-for-service arrangement that shouldn't stand in the way of a Vail-only focus. Also
during the discussion, Councilmember Kevin Foley expressed concerns about using
reserved funds to balance the budget. Following the vote, Boyle noted the following:
request for proposals (RFP) have been received for 2002 vendor contracts and are
currently under review with a recommendation to be forwarded to the board soon;
results of a front range summer vacation and image awareness report will cause the

r
Advisory Board to tweak next year's marketing program; and a lodging representative
has suggested Council creation of an additional position on the Advisory Committee to
represent the lodging community. At the conclusion of the meeting, Greg Moffet
thanked Boyle for his years of volunteer service to the community.
The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Diane Hughes presented a
petition containing 250 signatures requesting the town designate an area such as
Bighorn Park to allow dogs to run and play off-leash, so long as the dogs are under
voice control and accompanied by their owner. Dogs are currently required to be
leashed in town parks. Hughes says animal control officers have been ticketing
violators since June, which poses a problem, she said, because owners have no place
to exercise or train their dogs. In response, Mayor Ludwig Kurz said he would ask town
staff to schedule the request for discussion at an upcoming work session.
Ebby Pinson, executive director of the Vail Symposium, urged the Town Council to
convert the former Bright Horizons space above City Market into a community meeting
space that could be used by non-profit organizations as well as other groups. Pinson
stated the following reasons: the space is already built; at minimal cost this space could
be productively used; parking is available, clean and bright; and this space would
provide a sense of community.
The second item on the agenda was the consent agenda. Moffet moved to table the
approval of the November 7th and 211 meeting minutes to the December 19th meeting.
Foley seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The third item on the agenda was the second reading of the Model Traffic Code
Ordinance No. 11, Series 2000. Moffet moved to table Ordinance No. 11, Series of
2000 to a later meeting. Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2000, an ordinance
amending the town code, Title 12, Chapter 22, Section 4, adoption of view corridors, by
adding one view corridor in Lionshead. At the November 21, 2000, meeting, the
Council requested that staff notify individual owners within Lionshead Center of the
adoption of the View Corridor. To complete this task, staff is requesting additional time
prior to second reading of the ordinance. Slifer moved to approve table Ordinance No.
26, Series of 2000, Moffet seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
The fifth item on the agenda was the second reading of Ordinance No. 29, Series of
2000 - Setting the Mill Levy. The Town Council must set the mill levy for the next fiscal
year and certify to the County Commissioners by December 15, 2000. Since the de-
Brucing of the Property Tax passed last week, the Town Council can assess a base mill
levy of 4.69 mills without a mill levy credit. If that is done the Town will collect an

M
additional $225,779, over what is currently budgeted if the assessed valuation does not
change in early December. Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 29, Series of
2000. Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The sixth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 30, Series of
2000, Amendment to Employee Pension. Ordinance No. 30 deletes Section 7.12
which allowed hardship distributions and amends Section 5.5 allowing a participant who
becomes totally disabled to be 100% vested. Hardship distributions are not allowed in
money purchase plans. Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 30. Slifer seconded.
A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The seventh item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 31, Series of
2000 - Amendment to Fire and Police Pension. Ordinance No. 31 deletes Section 7.12
which allowed hardship distributions. Hardship distributions are not allowed in money
purchase plans. A vote by the police and fire employees will be needed to change
Section 5.5 allowing 100% vesting upon total disability. Moffet moved to approve
Ordinance No. 31. Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
The eighth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 32, Series of
2000 - Supplemental Appropriation No. 5. A supplemental appropriation of $529,689 is
requested of which $110,774 is funded by revenues and the balance of $418,915
comes from fund balance. Moffet moved to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 32.
Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The ninth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 33, Series of
2000, an ordinance amending the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map and rezoning Lot 4,
Vail Village West Filing No.2 from Residential Cluster zone district to General Use zone
district; and setting forth details in regard thereto. The Town of Vail is currently in the
process of preparing plans for the development of Donovan Park. A small tract of land
(Lot 4, Vail Village West Filing No. 2) on the westernmost end of the park site is zoned
Residential Cluster district. The remaining area of the park is zoned more appropriately
as General Use district. Staff believes that since the intent of the park development is
to provide recreational amenities and facilities to the community and it is not to provide
residential uses on the site, that Lot 4 should be rezoned to General Use district.
Moffet moved to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 33. Donovan seconded. A
vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The tenth item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. McLaurin noted the
introduction of a comprehensive guest service program called "Premier Impressions."
Also, McLaurin thanked Councilman Kevin Foley for his assistance in obtaining
additional regional bus service over New Year's Eve from the Eagle County Regional
Transportation Authority.

The first item on the agenda was citizen participation. Shawn Boris, representing the
Skating Club of Vail, invited the Town Council and the public to attend the group's
annual ice show at Dobson Ice Arena on December 29, 2000.
Dick Gustafson, representing the Vail Community Theater, thanked the Town Council

1 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes for December 19, 2000
s
The third item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2000,
an ordinance amending the Town Code, Title 12, Chapter 22, Section 4, Adoption of
View Corridors by adding one view corridor in Lionshead and setting forth details in
regard thereto.
Council member Sybill Navas arrived.
Allison Ochs, Town Planner, stated the staff had been directed by the Town Council to
eliminate View Corridor #2 from consideration at this time, until additional information
regarding the redevelopment of the core site is received. She also said the Town
Council directed staff to notify all owners within Lionshead Centre of View Corridor #1
prior to second reading of the ordinance. She said based on the ownership list, as
provided by the management company, staff called all board members to discuss the
view corridor, letters were faxed to all owners, a letter was mailed to all owners and in
addition, a few owners were notified via e-mail.
Council member Rod Slifer stated there were conflicts in the ordinance at first reading
with View Corridor #1. He asked if there was a horizontal line for this view corridor. He
stated there was a need to add a bottom elevation line to the view corridor because
there could be impacts if a multi-level parking structure was built in conjunction with the
redevelopment of the Lionshead Centre building.
Russ Forrest, Director of Community Development, stated the picture of the view
corridor didn't show a bottom line elevation of the view corridor. He reviewed a copy of
View Corridor #1 with the Town Council.
Council member Kevin Foley asked if the Lionshead Centre building was redeveloped
and expanded, would they have to provide more parking.
Russ said if they expanded, the answer was yes.
Allison clarified the boundaries of the view corridor.
Council member Greg Moffet said it was anticipated that there would be a parking
garage as part of the Lionshead Centre redevelopment.
Council member Greg Moffet made a motion to table this item until a survey was done
and the staff can recommend a bottom line elevation to View Corridor #1, and Council
member Kevin Foley seconded the motion.
Allison asked the Town Council for clarification on the height of the bottom elevation.
Council member Rod Slifer stated the staff should tell Town Council what elevation

would be appropriate.
Bob McLaurin, Town Manager, said the staff would come back to the Town Council with
a recommendation and location of the vertical line on the map.
A vote was taken and was passed unanimously, 7-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 32, Series of 2000
an ordinance making supplemental appropriations and budget adjustments from the
dispatch services fund, real estate transfer tax fund, health insurance fund, general
fund, and capital projects fund, of the 2000 budget and the financial plan for the Town
of Vail, Colorado, and authorizing the expenditures of said appropriations as set forth
herein; and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Steve Thompson, Finance Director, stated the enclosed schedule of proposed
supplemental appropriations and adjustments to support Supplemental Appropriation
Number Five of 2000. He said there were additions of $67,446 to the supplemental
appropriation for expenditures and $120,370 in revenue. The largest additions to the
supplemental were for rental-related costs of $40,000 related to the Creekside
employee housing units; $250,000 for additional health insurance claims: and $100,000
for removal of pine beetle-infested trees from the Glen Lyon area. He said all the line
items that were modified have been shaded.
Council member Greg Moffet made a motion to approve on second reading, Ordinance
No. 32, Series of 2000, and Council member Sybill Navas seconded the motion.
Council member Chuck Ogilby asked about the Creekside utilities.
Council member Kevin Foley stated he believed the electric bill was paid separately.
Steve Thompson stated there had been no money allocated due to the purchase of
these units in the middle of the year.
A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The fifth item on the agenda was the presentation of the Donovan Park Community
Pavilion Design.
Russ Forrest, Director of Community Development, stated the design team wanted to
review the design of the pavilion building with the Town Council and public. They
wanted to review the interior and exterior of the current design and get input from Town
Council.
3 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes for December 19, 2000
Otis Odell, one of the team of designers, stated the team is looking for approval of the
schematic design so they can proceed to the next phase and go forward to the Design
Review Board.
Scott Smith, another team member, reviewed the plans with Council. He discussed
how the site would work with the building, the general direction of the building, major
elements and materials of the building. He said there are still seven months left in the
design process. He said a Vail building is one in which the setting is part of the natural
landscape. He reviewed some of the materials that would go into the building. He said
stone is used for the terracing, seats, and walls in a natural horizontal pattern. Wood is
used on the building in chunky, bare forms. He said the wood would have a rugged
look and weather naturally. All the windows and doors are currently designed in wood
but it's a higher maintenance material. The large openings and doors give a feeling of
being outdoors. The roof structures may be made up of series of wood beams, decking
and girders. He reviewed site plan and "aerial" plans of what it would look like. A gray,
zinc color for the roof material would be used to make the building unobtrusive from
above, and stated it weathers like copper and melts into the landscape.
He also explained other various aspects of the building and described the concept of
having a space that is warm and inviting that people want to be in. He described
various aspects of the facility which included pavilion space, lobby area, coatroom,
kitchen facilities, storage and mechanical space.
Mayor Ludwig Kurz stated he took notes during the presentation. He liked the use of
materials of wood and stone, but he is concerned about the cost. However, he said the
team was going to keep the cost within the budget that was given to them. He also said
the design in the Council packet was different from what was presented. He said he is
more comfortable with the plans now that the description of the materials had been
explained.
Council member Rod Slifer said he thought the building was too contemporary. He said
the Ford Amphitheater was contemporary but you can't see it from the road. He
doesn't think the design is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The interior
of roof is attractive, but the stone is not in keeping with the neighborhood. A metal roof
is not compatible with the neighborhood and may look too commercial and industrial.
He likes the materials for wood windows but it may be too high maintenance.
Council member Chuck Ogilby stated he has spent a lot of time building log homes. He
liked the Rockefeller picture. He said he could be sold on the design if the building
rafters were log instead of metal holding the roof up. Beautiful log work would blend it
into the site and other features better. He said he appreciated the thorough
presentation and clarification of the use of materials. He asked what the square
footage of the building was going to be.
4 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes for December 19, 2000
s
Scott Smith stated the current square footage was around 6,900 square feet.
Council member Chuck Ogilby asked if there were possibilities for solar gain through
the use of the large windows.
Scott said the glass materials had not been resolved yet but they would need to be
careful how much glass is used so as not to have too much solar gain.
Council member Chuck Ogilby said it would be appropriate to look at other types of
glass. He stated it would be important to keep the energy to heat this structure in mind.
He also said if the gymnastics center could be under the building, this would be the
cheapest space to do it. The gymnastics people say they don't want windows in their
space.
Council member Sybill Navas asked about the gymnastics space.
Scott said he doesn't have a good answer for this issue. He said, in his experience,
when you put people in a place with no light, after a while they say they want light and
then that becomes an issue, as well as exits and other requirements to consider. He
said a gymnastics center needs a minimum of 25 feet in height.to put it in the ground.
Russ said the team and staff had talked about this and it doesn't save any costs versus
building it elsewhere above ground. Placing it underground would be equally as
expensive as putting it above ground.
Scott said they designed a gymnastics center in Santa Barbara and that facility used
indirect light.
Council member Greg Moffet stated he liked the building as presented and how it
integrates with the landscape. However, he is concerned about the wood windows. He
said matching the escarpment would be great.
Council member Sybill Navas stated it was very exciting to be at this stage of the
process. She disagreed with Rod Slifer and likes the design very much and likes the
logs on the supports. She said the building is different but fits in the space nicely.
Council member Kevin Foley said he didn't like the steel and felt the logs would help.
He stated the mechanical room needs to have enough capacity, the access and egress
for trash removal was easy, and the kitchen needs to have a service window. The
kitchen should be of commercial quality that caterers could use and would not have to
bring too much with them, a bear-proof trash container was necessary and more ladies
room facilities was needed.
Council member Diana Donovan had no comments at this time.
5 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Par December 19, 2000
Otis Odell asked the Town Council for schematic design approval. He said more details
in the development phase would establish more clearly the next phase of the design.
Russ stated the town would be spending more money on design and the design team
wanted to make sure they are going in the right direction.
Council member Greg Moffet made a motion to approve the project schematic design
subject to the comments made during the presentation, and Council member Sybill
Navas seconded the motion.
Council member Diana Donovan said she would abstain from voting because she
thinks the process is moving too fast.
Council member Rod Slifer stated he would vote against it because it was too
contemporary.
A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5-1-1, Council member Rod Slifer voted
against, and Council member Diana Donovan abstained.
Council member Kevin Foley asked what the schedule was to go before Design Review
Board.
George Ruther, Chief of Planning, stated they were targeting the Design Review Board
date of February 21, 2001 for preliminary submittal and then a final submittal after that
date. There will still be workshop meetings held and Council members Sybill Navas
and Diana Donovan will keep the Town Council informed.
Otis Odell said they were asked to get moving with some of the site work. Bids for
grading and utility work for the phase one plan is to be sent out to the community by
January 8, 2001 and the proposals are due back by January 23, with construction to
start in April, 2001.
Russ Forrest asked when would the town have a useable park and pavilion?
Otis said he would have to get back to the town on a possible date. He said they would
have to be careful with having construction going on and using the park at the same
time.
The sixth item on the agenda was the approval of the Official Newspaper for Public
Notices for 2001.
6 Vail Town Council. Meeting Minutes for December 19, 2000
i
Bob McLaurin, Town Manager, stated the town received two bids; one bid was from the
Vail Trail and the other bid was from The Vail Daily. He said The Vail Trail bid was
$3.50 per column inch for public notices and display ads and The Vail Daily bid came in
at $4.00 per column inch for public notices and display ads.
Council member Greg Moffet made motion to approve The Vail Trail as the official town
newspaper for publications and notices, and Council member Kevin Foley seconded
the motion. A vote was taken and was passed unanimously 7-0.
The seventh item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report.
Bob McLaurin, Town Manager, stated there was still interest in converting the Bright
Horizon space at Vail Commons into subsidized day care for major employers.
Mayor Ludwig Kurz stated the Town Council wished everyone a great safe holiday
season with lots of snow and good cheer.
Council member Kevin Foley reminded the public about the President's Tree Lighting
ceremony on Saturday, December 23, 2000.

Vail Chamber & Business Association Business Plan
HISTORY
The VCBA was formed through the union of the Vail Community Chamber, Vail Village Merchants'
Association and the Lionshead Merchants' Association. Its legal name is the Vail Community Chamber
dba Vail Chamber and Business Association. All of the proper papers have been filed with and fees paid
to the State of Colorado by Wendell Porterfield, our legal counsel, of Otto, Porterfield and Post. The
Vail Community Chamber has been operating under an approved set of bylaws, however, they have
been reviewed and a proposal will be made to amend the document to better reflect the goals of the
newly merged organizations. This proposal is currently under review by legal counsel and should be
ready for approval prior to the February monthly meeting.
These three organizations had each filled a particular need in the community when they were formed
and appealed to different segments. However, with the growth of Vail and particularly the growth of
areas surrounding Vail, it was decided that one larger association would better serve the purposes of the
business community and the town, as well. It was also apparent that the work load could no longer be
handled in a professional manner by a volunteer committee.
With this in mind, the groups decided to join together to form the VCBA. The three boards merged and
are currently creating a viable organization to better serve the needs of membership and to fulfill its
mission statement. However, while this organization technically is a new organization, it brings with it
the legacies of three former groups. These groups were responsible for the creation of many positive
influences in the community including but not limited to: The Guide, TIU!, Jazz Fest, Block Parties,
Chili Cook-Off and Saturdays with Santa. In addition, their members have served on many boards in the
valley including the Vail Town Council, Vail Marketing Board, the Special Events Committee, the
Community Task Force, the Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition, 2001 Mountain Bike Championships,
Peer Resorts, Vail Valley Restaurant Association and Vail Tomorrow.
Their interest and influence in the past has been very significant and with the merger, 596 businesses
will be working together to help forge and even greater future for Vail.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Vail Chamber and Business Association is to promote and support commerce and
enterprise in the Town of Vail. The VCBA shall be a strong advocate and speak with a unified voice for
the business interests of its members while remaining mindful of the interests of the community at large.
It will work with the Town of Vail and Vail Resorts to make Vail the premier mountain resort
community.

DEPARTMENTS
1. Lodging Information
Lodging/Reservation Information for all Vail properties will be handled through our web site and
a toll free number. Vailchamber.org currently provides direct links to lodging properties and/or
phone numbers for direct access. The Lodging Committee is currently forming to address the
needs of the Vail lodging community.
2. Marketing
The marketing efforts of the VCBA will be limited to the promotion of events as sponsored by
the Association. As an example, this will include but not be limited to advertising of the Block
Parties and Jazz Events.
3. Special Events
Special Events in the town will be managed and produced the same way they are now. We will
continue our representation on the Special Events Committee of the VVTCB and will continue to
work on the creation of new events that will benefit the community.
4. Education
Programs like Turn It Up! And TIPS will continue to be organized. There will also be an
opportunity to provide whatever other educational events and speakers that the group would find
beneficial.
5. Employee Benefits
Membership entitles employers to participate in the discounted merchant ski pass program. The
VCBA currently provides a source for discounted rates on Workman's Comp insurance. The
VVMA had been working with the TOV and VR to put together a group health insurance
offering. At this point, there are legal issues involved in structuring this but we will continue to
pursue this as federal law changes. In the meantime, we will continue to explore other
opportunities with other organizations as they arise.
6. Information Services
VCBA phone lines will serve as a source of information and as a referral to businesses and
organizations in Vail. In addition, the Information Booths will be monitored and the Guide to
Vail will be produced. The service provided here is generally geared towards the guest.
7. Business Services
We are currently expanding our monthly minutes to serve as a newsletter in order to provide a
better exchange of information between members and the organization. New businesses in the
community need information and direction and often a helping hand. We will have a "welcome
Wagon" approach featuring a manager or owner from an existing business as a mentor, showing
the new business owner/manager around town, introducing them to Town Council and staff and
being available to answer questions and direct the new business. An information packet will also
be compiled and delivered to all businesses considering relocation to Vail.
8. Employee Services
For lack of better term, the "Under 30" sessions suggested some one place that employees new to
the community can come to obtain assistance and information. It will function like the welcome
wagon for businesses but will be geared towards getting individuals settled in town. The newly
distributed "Newcomers Handbook" resulted from a suggestion during these sessions.
9. Regional Cooperation
The function of this department will be to focus on being a liaison between Vail and the rest of
the Valley.

The Honorable Luwig Kurz
Town of Vail

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Sir,
The Art in Public Places board has recently lost a member, Trish Kiesewetter. Trish has not given our
board formal notice of her departure but has now missed three of our monthly meetings, and not responded
to phone calls or e-mails. It is believed that she relocated to Washington D.C. on very short notice for
professional reasons. Trish has served on the board since 1996 and made a valuable contribution.
Our AIPP board held a retreat last November and agreed on an aggressive program for the coming year.
To meet our goals we will need a full and committed board. With your approval, we would like to appoint
Barbie Christopher to fill Trish's term which is due to expire in April of 2001. Mrs. Christopher is a long
timeVail resident and former merchant. We believe you will find her highly qualified to serve on our
board.
Yours sincerely,
Leslie Fick mg '

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: January 16, 2001
SUBJECT: A worksession to discuss proposed changes to the Town of Vail's parking pay-in-
lieu policy and proposed text amendments to Chapter 12-10, Town Code.
Planner: Brent Wilson
Applicant: The Town of Vail.
1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
On September 26th, the Town Council discussed the current parking pay-in-lieu program
and options for future implementation. The council reviewed on-site/off-site parking
maps and directed staff to return with a number of different scenarios for pay-in-lieu
implementation. On November 7th, the Council refined the focus of the discussion and
directed staff to return with fee scenarios involving a staggered fee structure based on
land uses. Two separate fee structure options are presented in Section II of this
memorandum.
The primary purpose of the Pay-in-Lieu Program has been to create a vehicle-free
pedestrianized commercial area within Vail Village and Lionshead.
Relevant master plan references include:
Obiective 3.2 of the Vail Villaae Master Plan:
Minimize the amount of vehicular traffic in the Village to the greatest extent
possible.
Policv 3.2.1 of the Vail Villaae Master Plan:
Vehicular traffic will be eliminated or reduced to absolutely minimal necessary
levels in the pedestrianized areas of the Village.
Policv 4.6.3 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan:
The overriding goal for East Lionshead Circle is to de-emphasize vehicular traffic
and create a quality, safe and vibrant pedestrian corridor.

SUMMARY OF RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE TOWN'S PARKING REGULATIONS
Ordinance 9. Series of 2000-this ordinance significantly reduced the amount of parking
required for land uses within Vail's commercial core areas. The ordinance provided the
following reductions in required parking:

(sfa)
Bank/Finance ` 5 spaces / KSF , 3.7 spaces / KSF I 26%
* assumes a min. unit size of 500 sf.
assumes a min. unit size of 600 sf.
II. POTENTIAL PAY-IN-LIEU FEE OPTIONS
According to the Alternative Parking Ratio Analysis for the Vail Village and Lionshead
Core Areas in Vail, Colorado (1999), between 61%-65% of the transactions at the
Town's parking structures are primarily attributable to commercial development with a
length of stay not exceeding four hours. Day skier parking (4-9 hours in length of stay)
accounts for 29-36% of the transactions and long-term residential uses (more than 9
hours) account for 3-6% of the transactions.
Given the fact that commercial parking spaces "turnover" (become vacated and available
for additional use) approximately 3 times as often as residential spaces, staff believes
the commercial uses impact parking availability at a different proportion than residential
uses. Although commercial uses typically generate more traffic than residential uses,
this issue is addressed through the town's parking generation requirements. Therefore,
based on the direction given thus far by the Town Council, the following two options are
offered for review:
-2-
\\VAIL\DATA\cde~ COUNCIL\M EMOS\01 \ParkingPaylnLieuJan 16.doc
Ootion A - Maintenance of Current Fee for Residential Uses, Reduction of the Fee
for Commercial Uses.
¦ Current Fee = $18,597.80 per space (adjusted annually - a 48% subsidy)
¦ Proposed Residential Fee = $18,597.80 (no change - a 48% subsidy)
¦ Proposed Commercial Fee - $6,137.27 (66% fee reduction - an 83% subsidy)
¦ The fee would continue to increase annually based upon the consumer price index
for the Denver/Boulder/Greeley metro area.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
This change, coupled with the previous reductions in parking required for commercial
uses granted this March, would provide additional incentives for commercial uses.
However, commercial uses outside the "pay-in-lieu" area would still be required to
provide on-site parking. Staff anticipates this revised commercial fee would provide an
approximate subsidy of 83% of the cost of providing a physical parking space at the
structure. Residential uses in the pay-in-lieu zone would continue to receive a subsidy of
approximately 48%.
Revenues for the provision of public parking would still be provided through the
generation of pay-in-lieu fees. However, given the recent decreases in private parking
requirements and the reduction of fees, the total amount of annual fees collected would
be significantly reduced. However, the Town has acknowledged the maintenance of
pedestrian zones as a public benefit and these changes could provide an additional
redevelopment incentive.
Ootion B - Elimination of the Current Fee for Commercial Uses, Reduction of the
Fee for Residential Uses.
¦ Current Fee = $18,597.80 per space (adjusted annually - a 48% subsidy)
¦ Proposed Residential Fee = $6,137.27 (66% reduction - an 83% subsidy)
¦ Proposed Commercial Fee - $0 (total elimination -100% subsidy)
¦ The fee would continue to increase annually based upon the consumer price index
for the Denver/Boulder/Greeley metro area.
ANTICIPATED RESULTS
Most private parking within the "pay-in-lieu" zone would be provided through the
expenditure of public funds. A lack of sufficient dedicated revenues would compromise
the ability to construct additional parking in the future. Debt service for the existing
structures would be paid primarily through the town's general fund. Some properties
-3-
\\VAIL\DATA\cdev\COUNC IL\MEMOS\01 \ParkrogPaylnLieuJan 16.doc
within a given zone district would have a parking requirement while other properties in
that zone district would not -therefore, an equity issue arises. However, this option
could provide additional incentives for redevelopment at an increased cost to the Town.
Ill. RECOMMENDATION
Staff feels strongly that the Town should not move forward with any fee reductions
until the issue of day skier parking costs has been addressed with the ski
company and Eagle County. Otherwise, the cost of providing parking for
commercial uses (including the ski area) would be absorbed disproportionately by
the public. Staff also recommends (regardless of which option the council
chooses) that a cost-benefit analysis be prepared and presented to the town
council for review prior to adoption of an ordinance amending the parking
regulations.
Staff's recommendation is based upon the following factors:
¦ The Existina Pav-in-Lieu Fee is Alreadv a Substantial Subsidv- It is estimated that
the current fee amount is about one-half of the construction cost of a structured
parking space. This does not include the maintenance and staffing costs associated
with the provision of parking at a municipal structure.
¦ Maior Reductions in Reauired Parkina Alreadv Granted - Due to recent revisions in
the amount of parking required within the commercial core areas, businesses can
already expand significantly (30% or more) without any additional pay-in-lieu fee
requirements. Restaurants in the commercial core areas, for example, can now
double their seating area without any new fee requirements.
¦ Equity of Treatment of Properties in the Same Zone District - Elimination of the fee
may constitute a grant of special privilege for some properties when parking
requirements are not consistent within any one district.
¦ Public Absorption of Private Development Impacts - Although staff acknowledges a
significant public benefit derived from redevelopment, major impacts from private
development should be borne by private development. This belief is consistent with
language in the town's master plans and zoning regulations regarding mitigation of
development impacts. Through the current pay-in-lieu fee subsidy and recent
revisions to the town's parking requirements, staff believes significant redevelopment
incentives have already been achieved.

CHAPTER 12
EXEMPTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE CORRECTION PROCEDURES
SECTION:
13-12-1: Purpose and Intent
13-12-2: Consultation Required; Preliminary Review
13-12-3: Exemption Criteria and Review Standards
13-12-4: Exemption Plat Requirements and Procedure
13-12-5: Filing And Recording
13-3-1: PURPOSE AND INTENT:
To establish criteria and an appropriate review process whereby the Administrator may grant
exemptions from the definition of the term "subdivision" for properties that are determined to fall
outside the purpose, purview and intent of Chapters 13-3 and 13-4 of this title.
13-12-2: CONSULTATION REQUIRED; PRELIMINARY REVIEW:
Prior to the submittal of an exemption request, the applicant shall meet with the Administrator to
determine if the request meets the exemption criteria outlined in Section 13-12-3 of this chapter.
If the Administrator determines that the subject application would circumvent significant and
relevant elements of the subdivision review process, the applicant shall be required to comply
with the requirements of Chapter 13-3 and/or Chapter 13-4 of this title.
13-12-3: EXEMPTION CRITERIA AND REVIEW STANDARDS:
A. Exemption Criteria: Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13-1-3 of this title, the
Administrator may exempt from the provisions of Chapter 13-3 and/or Chapter 13-4 of
this title an application that meets any one of the following criteria:
1. Designated Open Space: Any plat that would result in the division of
property for the purpose of creating or maintaining designated open
space.
-1-
2. Condemnation: Any lot created pursuant to the powers of condemnation.
3. Pre-existing Properties: Any plat for the purpose of establishing and/or
correcting lot boundaries for properties in existence (and established in
the records of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder) prior to January 12,
1970 where no additional parcels are created and conformance with
applicable provisions of the Vail Town Code has been demonstrated.
4. Public/Quasi-Public Use: Any plat that would create a parcel for public or
quasi-public use such as community facilities, including but not limited to:
utility facilities, parks, open space, fire/police stations, libraries, hospitals,
municipal offices. Community facilities which include dwelling units or
employee housing units shall be required to process the appropriate plats
to delineate ownership of residential properties.
5. Boundary-line adjustments (including right-of-way adjustments) where no
additional parcels are created and conformance with applicable
provisions of the Vail Town Code has been demonstrated.
6. Plat corrections that do not alter the general character and intent of the
originally approved plat including, but not limited to: address changes,
plat note amendments, plat title corrections and other minor corrections.
7. Vacation and/or replatting of a building envelope, easement or common
single-family or duplex lot boundary.
B. Review Standards: The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the
application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zoning
Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Administrator deems applicable. The
Administrator shall review the application and consider its appropriateness with regard to
the applicable criteria for review and evaluation.
The Administrator may approve a plat pursuant to the provisions of this chapter upon the
findings that:
1. That the approval of the plat would result in the creation of a lot that conforms to
the provisions of the Vail Town Code and/or relevant master plan documents. In
the case of non-conforming lots, non-conformities have not been expanded or
increased by the approval of the plat, unless approved in accordance with the
provisions of Section 13-1-7 ("Variances and Amendments") of this Title.
2. That the approval of the plat will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The
amended plat is consistent with the Town's established site development
guidelines and with the character and intent of the originally approved plat.
Provisions for adequate infrastructure and site access have been clearly
demonstrated by the applicant.
13-12-4: EXEMPTION PLAT REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURE:
A. Submission: At any time within one year after the Administrator has completed its review
of the preliminary plan, a final plat shall be submitted to the Department of Community
Development. If more than a year has passed from the date of the Administrator's
review, the proposal shall be reviewed on a preliminary basis again. Exemption plat
format and content shall be as outlined in Section 13-3-6 of this Title.
B. Requirements and Procedure: Exemption plats consistent with the review criteria
outlined in Section 13-12-3 of this Article may be approved by the Department of
Community Development. All modifications shall be indicated on a completely revised
plat. Approved changes shall be noted, signed, dated and filed by the Department of
Community Development. The Administrator may waive certain submittal requirements
outlined in this Chapter if they are deemed inapplicable or irrelevant to an exemption plat
application.
1. Notification: Notification of a proposed exemption plat application shall be
provided to all affected property owners within or adjacent to the subject
property. Notifications shall be postmarked no later than five (5) days following
-2-
staff action on the amendment request and shall include a brief statement
describing the application and the time and date of when the Planning and
Environmental Commission will be informed of the staff decision. In all cases the
report to the Planning and Environmental Commission shall be made within
twenty (20) days from the date of the staffs decision on the requested exemption
plat.
2. Appeals: Appeals of staff decisions may be filed by adjacent property owners,
owners of the property, the applicant, Planning and Environmental Commission
members or members of the Town Council as outlined in Section 12-3-3 of this
Code.
13-12-5: FILING AND RECORDING:
The Department of Community Development will record the plat and any related documents
with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder; however, no plat for land shall be recorded unless
prior to the time of recording, the applicant provides the Town with a certification from the Eagle
County Treasurer's office indicating that all ad valorem taxes applicable to such subdivided
land, for years prior to that year in which approval is granted, have been paid. Fees for
recording shall be paid by the applicant. The Department of Community Development will retain
one mylar copy of the plat for their records.
Section 2. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect the validity of the
remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it would have
passed this ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof,
regardless of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or
phrases be declared invalid.
Section 3. The Town Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this
ordinance is necessary and proper for the health, safety and welfare of the Town of Vail and the
inhabitants thereof.
Section 4. The amendment of any provision of the Town Code as provided in this
ordinance shall not affect any right which has accrued, any duty imposed, any violation that
occurred prior to the effective date hereof, any prosecution commenced, nor any other action or
proceeding as commenced under or by virtue of the provision amended. The amendment of
any provision hereby shall not revive any provision or any ordinance previously repealed or
superseded unless expressly stated herein.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
RE: Town Manager's Report
DT: January 11, 2001
Code Enforcement Reorganization
For several months, I have been discussing with Russell Forrest and Greg Morrison
how to improve the effectiveness of our code enforcement program. Specifically, we
are discussing code enforcement on private property as opposed to code enforcement
in public rights-of-way (loading and delivery, parking violations, etc.) These private
property code enforcement issues typically involve sign code violations, nuisance
complaints and other zoning violations. After several months of discussion, it is my
intention to slightly restructure our code enforcement department. We will be
transferring one of the CEO authorized positions to the Community Development
Department. This position would focus exclusively on private property code
enforcement issues and would also help staff be at the counter in the building and
planning departments. During peak periods, i.e., Christmas, Presidents' Weekend, etc.,
this position would provide assistance and backup to the other code enforcement
officers during traffic control management, etc.
We hope to implement this change over the next 4 - 6 weeks. Please note this does not
change the authorized FTE's of these departments but is simply a reallocation of
existing personnel.
Impact Fee Study,
Last week I met with Fire Chief John Gulick and Tom Moorhead to explore the concept
of implementing an impact fee to help support the capital needs of the Vail Fire
Department. This impact fee, if implemented, would be comparable to the impact fee
we currently assess for recreation amenities. This impact fee approach is currently
being utilized by the towns of Gypsum, Eagle and many other communities throughout
the State of Colorado. At this point, we are simply exploring this concept and when we
have done additional legal research, we'll be prepared to discuss the issue with you to
see if the Council would entertain discussing this idea.

TOV Weekly News
To build upon Council's continued interest in creating awareness mechanisms for
meeting agendas and public notices, the Community Information Office is experimenting
with an expansion of the TOV Weekly News format. In addition to appearing each
Monday in the Vail Daily, we've begun a pilot program to publish the information on
Fridays in the Vail Trail. We've also developed a system to transfer this information to
the TOV Web site at www.vailaov.com and research is underway to add a fax broadcast
service similar to the Alpine Fax, which is attached. If you have other ideas to maximize
dissemination of this information, please contact Suzanne Silverthorn at 479-2115.

We do have an interested party who is currently preparing an operating plan to re-open
the former Bright Horizons space as daycare for infant through pre-school. We should

and relay the on-scene information and conditions of the roads. The
tunnel sends information to the Traffic Operations Center (TOC) in
Denver who then begins changing the information on the VMSigns.
Please remember the tunnel has to send out broadcast fax's each
time there is a change on the sign. Also, if there is another
emergency, they respond to it too, and then send information to the
TOC on road conditions. Denver TOC runs VMS's from East Vail all
through the front range. Hanging Lakes Tunnel runs all VMS's from
Vail to western Colorado and to the Utah border. The CSP and/or
Road Supervisor usually begins to allow traffic to proceed past the
VMS and s/he observes for a short period to make sure all is well
