VAIL TOWN COUNCIL - MINUTES TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2001 7:00 P.M. The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held in the Town Council Chambers on Tuesday, May 1, 2001. The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:00 P.M. COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT: Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-Tem Chuck Ogilby Diana Donovan Rod Slifer Kevin Foley Greg Moffet ABSENT: Ludwig Kurz, Mayor STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, Asst.Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney The first item on the agenda was citizen participation. Josef Staufer, local resident and business owner, referenced today's Vail Daily regarding day skiers doing very little for the community. Staufer stated he had heard rumors that the town was going to provide parking for day skiers. Staufer stated that although it was a good idea to expand the Lionshead parking structure, it felt it was wrong to tax local taxpayers to pay for the structure, feeling that Vail Resort Inc. should pay for it. The second item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2001, an ordinance authorizing the conveyance of fee title to the following real property owned by the Town of Vail and located at 770 Potato Patch Road. Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney, presented the ordinance to the Council, stating that on December 1, 1994, the Town of Vail acquired the care taker unit at 770 Potato Patch Drive Condominiums for $76,000. The Town was able to acquire this unit as a result of a law suit filed by the Federal Deposit insurance Corporation against the Town of Vail and 770 Potato Patch Drive Condominium Association to remove a restriction on the unit being utilized as a care taker unit and not to be sold separate from the other common elements of the Association. FDIC had acquired the title to the unit as Receiver of Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan Association upon its failure. The Town of Vail received the property by Quick Claim Deed from Silverado Investment Company without restrictions on resale. The last appraisal on the unit was $215,000. The unit has been rented to a Town of Vail employee for $850 a month. This unit, due to its value and due to the expensive monthly assessments and special assessments, is not ideal as an employee housing rental unit. It is believed that a sale could be consummated which would provide the opportunity to buy one or two additional units that would more appropriately function as housing for employees. Moorhead stated this ordinance was being brought back per Council instruction. He stated the unit was purchased at a very favorable price and had been rented to Town of Vail employees since the purchase. He stated proceeds received from the sale would be used to purchase more affordable housing. Councilmember Diana Donovan stated she supported the sale of this unit, but did not feel she could vote for this ordinance until a contract has been written for the sale to reassure citizens the sale of town land was in place. Councilmember Chuck Ogilby stated he was not in favor of getting rid of any housing units, and the town should use all available funds for buy downs. Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance #10 on first reading. Councilmember Rod Slifer seconded the motion, requesting Moffet add to his motion that Council must approve of the sale and that proceeds will be used specifically for buydown units. Councilmember Greg Moffet stated the ordinance specifically provided that Council must approve the sale of any property, with the proceeds being used to acquire to purchase additional properties. Councilmember Kevin Foley stated the money would be put towards a better unit and the town would have to receive the proper money for the unit. Councilmember Rod Slifer agreed with Councilmembers Foley and Moffet. Councilmember Diane Donovan felt discussion held at the afternoon work session was cut off and "snippy." Councilmember Sybill Navas suggested having a full discussion right then. Navas stated she intended to add her recommendation to direct the listing agent to include a "must exceed price" of an agreed upon amount. Navas agreed with Councilmembers Moffet and Foley that it was not affordable to keep this unit as an employee housing unit. There was no public input on the ordinance. A vote was taken on the motion and the motion passed 4-2, Councilmembers Donovan and Ogilby opposing. The third item on the agenda was a discussion on the Vail Center and Formation of the 501(c)(3). Russ Forrest, Director of Community Development, addressed the Council, asking for go-ahead to form the 501©(3). John Horan-Kates, WhiteRiver Institute, addressed the Council, stating the document had been reviewed by the town staff and legal counsel. Horan-Kates stated it was time to move on this to begin the application process to receive tax exempt status and move forward with the financial plan. Russell Forrest, Community Development Director, stated it was appropriate to move forward, as it was critical to the plan. Forrest asked the Council if they were comfortable in forming this group, and initial formation of the slate of directors. Councilmember Greg Moffet verified Council with Russ Forrest and John Horan-Kates that Council would maintain control through legal documents between the town and the 501c3, including a land lease or operating agreement. John Horan-Kates stated he was in general agreement. Councilmember Moffet suggested a recreation advocate be appointed to the board, naming Diane Johnson as a possible candidate. Moffet also stated the board should have an odd number of members. Horan-Kates stated the principal function of the Board was fund raising. Councilmember Sybill Navas asked how these people were chosen to be on the initial Board of Directors. Horan-Kates stated they were made up of people he had worked with in the past and were people that could be counted on for support and work. Horan-Kates stated there was definitely room for growth on the Board and this was just the initial contact list. Councilmember Navas pointed out there was no one on the list involved in the arts. Councilmember Rod Slifer stated the second home owners also needed to be represented. Horan-Kates read the list of names currently to be considered for the Board, stating the Board would be expanded. Horan-Kates stated he hoped the Council would approve the slate to allow for the filing of documents with the Secretary of State. Town Attorney Moorhead stated the approval of the the 501 c3 would not have to be approved by a motion, however, an approving vote would show Council support. Councilmember Greg Moffet then made a motion to approve the recommended slate and organization with the stipulation that the Board be expanded to recreation, the arts, and second home owner representatives. Councilmember Rod Slifer also requested the motion include the Board file for incorporation. Councilmember Moffet added the request to his motion. Councilmember Slifer seconded the motion. Councilmember Diana Donovan questioned the operational issue and advocated an expansion of the board to represent a broader cross-section of the community. Russ Forrest stated the Council was not conveying any rights or ownership. Kaye Ferry, President of the Vail Chamber and Business Association, questioned who would be running the Vail Center, stating this information had not been discussed and felt it needed to be scheduled for a future Council meeting. Councilmember Slifer stated that lengthy discussions with Horan-Kates' group had been held about forming this entity, but theyhad not discussed specifically who will run it. Councilmember Kevin Foley stated a working detailed business plan was being prepared by Horan-Kates and asked when the Council could expect to see it. Horan-Kates responded it should be ready in the next two months. Russ Forrest stated the plan would be presented to the Council sometime in July. Jim Lamont, East Vail Homeowners Association, addressed the Council, stating that a 501- c3 could be applied for by any entity, not giving Horan-Kates an exclusive franchise on the fund raising for the Vail Center. Rick Scalpello, local resident, addressed the Council, stating he was confused by what was being proposed, but was assured by the Council that the meetings in July would address everyone's concerns and issues. After further discussion, a vote was taken to approve the filing of the articles of incorporation with the recommendation that the Board be expanded to include representatives from the arts, recreation and second homeowners, as well other interested parties. A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion passed 5-1, Councilmember Diana Donovan opposing. The fourth item on the agenda was the consideration of approval of the Waterhouse Encroachment Agreement. Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney, presented the item to the Council, explaining that Stephen and Linda Waterhouse received approval to construct a 2-car garage on their property located at 285 Forest Road. The Planning and Environmental Commission granted a variance to allow the garage to extend into the front set-back consistent with the garage that was being demolished to provide for the construction of the present garage. After the garage was constructed it was determined through an ILC survey that the garage encroached 7" across the property line and onto the Town of Vail right-of-way. The Waterhouses have previously requested Council's approval of the encroachment and upon motion to approve the encroachment it failed to pass due to a 3 to 3 Council vote. Subsequently the Waterhouses filed a complaint in the Eagle County District Court seeking issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. The town filed a counterclaim seeking a mandatory injunction compelling removal of the encroachment and for damages for trespass on the town's land. Following a hearing on the town's request for mandatory injunction the District Court dismissed the town's counterclaim requesting that the garage be removed from the right-of-way and ordered that the Waterhouses be permitted to occupy and use the garage and to convey the same as an appurtenance to the property. Moorhead stated that by entering into this Encroachment Agreement, it will allow the parties to settle the dispute and discharge all past and present claims with respect to the garage and the property. By the terms of the Encroachment Agreement, the Waterhouses will be paying $30,000 to the Town of Vail and the town will be an additional insured on the Waterhouses' insurance policy for any damages that may result due to the location of the garage. Attorney John Dunn, representing the Waterhouses, was present for questions and comments. As there were no further comments, Councilmember Kevin Foley made a motion to approve the agreement. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Rod Slifer. Councilmember Greg Moffet stated he would be voting against this judgment, stating he did not feel the District Court judgment would stand up in court on appeal. Councilmember Diana Donovan stated she would be voting in favor only because the garage was where it was, but felt the town had no excuse losing this case, stating that it was perfectly clear where the garage was supposed to be built. Mayor Pro-Tem Sybill Navas voiced concern over setting a precedent, but Town Attorney Moorhead assured her that this would do just the opposite in ensuring this did not happen again. There was no public comment. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-1, Councilmember Moffet opposing. The fifth item on the agenda was the discussion of the Town of Vail Election Process for the Vail Center Vote. Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager, and Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk, addressed the Council, stating the time was getting close to decide which type of election the Council preferred to have in November. Brandmeyer and Donaldson referred to the memorandum in the Council's packet, relating to deadlines for submittal of information to Eagle County. The two choices given the Council were to combine the municipal election with the County election in November, which is a mail-in ballot, or to hold an independent election for Towr of Vail issues. It wa noted that 4 Council seats were up for election this November. The Vail Center issue would also be a part of this ballot. Town Manager McLaurin stated a decision did not need to be made this evening, this item was being presented for information purposes only to let the Council start thinking about their preference. A discussion followed regarding the timeframes between the two methods of election, as well as the confusion the two separate elections caused among the voters. Town Manager McLaurin advised the Council that numerous public announcements would be needed to let the public know that it would be necessary to vote two different times. Councilmember Navas stated she did not feel the Council would be ready 3 weeks earlier to submit their election requests to the County and that there was a definite impact on the Vail voter to actually come to the polls to vote on election day. Councilmember Kevin Foley inquired about the statement that the town had lost approximately 1000 electors in the last election. Town Clerk Donaldson stated this was due to the County purging names of anyone not voting in the last 2 general elections. Donaldson also stated the cost of an at-the-poll election was approximately $8-10,000, while a coordinated election with Eagle County costs the Town of Vail approximately $3-4 thousand dollars. After further discussion, Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to hold an at-the-poll election and to alert registered voters of the need to vote in both elections. Councilmember Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was taken on the motion and the motion passed 5-1, Councilmember Diana Donovan opposing, stating she felt this was a waste of town money. The sixth item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Town Manager Bob McLaurin stated he had nothing to add to the report. In regard to the Dobson Arena update, Councilmember Foley suggested additional public notification be given regarding temporary road closures associated with the construction. Foley also commented on the new wayfinding directional signs posted in Vail. As there was no further business, Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to adjourn and Councilmember Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-Tern ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk Minutes taken by Mary A. Caster f I VAIL TOWN COUNCIL - MINUTES VAI L COUNCIL CHAMBERS May 15, 2001 7:00 P.M. The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 7:00 P.M.on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, in the Town of Vail Council Chambers. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Diana Donovan Greg Moffet Rod Slifer Chuck Ogilby ABSENT: Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Foley STAFF PRESENT: Pam Brandmeyer, Ass't.Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney The first item on the agenda was citizen participation. Tom Hopkins, East Vail resident, addressed the Council expressing his and his neighbors' opposition over a proposed street light on Main Gore Drive in East Vail. Mayor Kurz stated staff would be directed to follow up on his request. Galen Aasland, a member of the Planning and Environmental Commission and representative on the town's Open Space Committee, asked the Council to consider creating a public access point across Gore Creek to provide a connection to a town- owned open space parcel across from the Vail Public Library. Aasland suggested the use of some real estate transfer tax money for this purpose. Mayor Kurz stated he would have staff check into this request. Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners Association, commended outgoing Town Attorney Tom Moorhead, stating although they had had some differences of opinions over the years, how much he respected admired him for his work, and wished him the best in his new position as Eagle County Attorney. Lamont then encouraged the Town Council to listen to the tapes from the latest Planning and Environmental Commission meeting regarding the Donovan Park Pavilion. Regarding the Vail Center, Lamont suggested developing a 12-month decision-making path which would emphasize an open dialogue process. Lamont felt this would be more productive than forcing a vote of the electors in November. Lamont also stated his group was planning to oppose any 4 property tax increase to be used for the Vail Center. Dave Blossom, East Vail resident, added his comments regarding the street light in East Vail, stating that something needed to be done about speeding in the area, rather than installing a light. The second item on the agenda was the approval of the April 3, 2001 minutes and the April 17, 2001 minutes. Several corrections were noted to amend the minutes. Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to approve the minutes with the so noted corrections and Councilmember Rod Slifer seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0. The third item on the agenda was Proclamation #2, Series of 2001, a Proclamation designating the week of May 14, 2001 as Police Week in Vail, Colorado and across the nation. Mayor Kurz read the Proclamation into the record, stating a special section had been dedicated in memory of Ryan Cunningham, a Vail police officer recently killed in the line of duty in Vail. Councilmember Greg Morrison made a motion to pass the proclamation and Councilmember Rod Slifer seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. Police Chief Greg Morrison accepted the Proclamation . Morrison also expressed condolences to Ryan's wife and daughter, thanked the Vail community for the outpouring of sympathy and support, stating the community had lost a fine young man. Mayor Kurz also expressed condolences and was proud of the support and attendance at Cunningham's memorial services held in Lakewood, Colorado. The fourth item on the agenda was the appointment of three vacancies on the Local Licensing Authority. Mayor Kurz stated there were four applicants for the three vacancies on the board: David Chapin, Kathy Vieth and Mary Zarba, incumbents, and Robert Rothenberg. A vote was taken and the appointments were as follows: David Chapin Kathy Vieth Mary Zarba A motion was made by Councilmember Moffet to approve the appointments of the liquor board. A second was made by Councilmember Ogilby. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. Mayor Kurz thanked all for applying and hoped that Rothenberg would consider applying for another vacancy in the future. Kurz also thanked all the volunteer board members for their time and energy in filling this need. The fifth item on the agenda was the First Reading of Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2001, amending Title 7, Motor Vehicles and Traffic to include Chapter 8, An Ordinance Regulating Neighborhood Electric Vehicles. Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney, presented the ordinance to the Council, stating the Town of Vail has had no Municipal Ordinances regulating the use of electric vehicles or golf carts within the Town of Vail. Moorhead stated there had been a traditional use at the golf course for golf course maintenance and for players on the course. The Sonnenalp has used these vehicles in their loading and delivery plan. This item was addressed in response to a request by the Vail Mountain Lodge to transport skiers to the lifts at Golden Peak. As a result of that discussion, while it was determined that it is not appropriate to increase the use of these vehicles for delivery of skiers to Golden Peak, it is appropriate to adopt regulations consistent with the present use at this time in the Town of Vail. Scott Jansen of the Vail Police Department stated that after receiving a request from one of the hotels to provide transportation to Golden Peak, he researched the request for the proposed use, noting the carts were prevalent in and around the golf course as well as the Sonnenalp. After presentation to Council, he was directed to come back to Council with an ordinance pertinent to the uses in the town of Vail. Jansen stated there were three common uses for the carts: the employees of the Sonnenalp driving along the length of East Meadow Drive and occasionally transporting passengers between their hotels; on the Vail Golf Course and on public areas of Vail Valley Drive; and at Ford Park, transporting patrons to the Gerald Ford Amphitheater. Jansen stated that a licensed driver was required to operate the carts and the carts must be equipped with head and tail lights, as well as adequate breaks and tires. Jansen stated that exemptions must be approved by the Chief of Police. There was discussion regarding the terms "rounds of golf' as opposed to "playing golf'. Attorney Tom Moorhead stated he would redefine the meaning and make the change to the ordinance before second reading. Jim Lamont, Vail Valley Homeowners Association, addressed the Council regarding clarification on special uses of the carts. Attorney Moorhead stated that any change to the intent of this ordinance would need to be reviewed by the Police Department. A motion was made by Councilmember Moffet to approve Ordinance #11, Series of 2001, on first reading, with the change of language regarding the playing of golf and changing the number sequence in the ordinance. A second was made by Councilmember Donovan. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. The sixth item on the agenda was the Year-End Financial Report. Steve Thompson, Finance Director, addressed the Council, stating the report being presented was unaudited, and the audited financial statements will be presented to the Council on June 19, 2001. Thompson stated the $1 million in revenue was due mainly to expenditures being under budget, mainly in the payroll area. Thompson advised the Council the town had funds of approximately 4 months of operating expenses. Thompson did note that the Real Estate Transfer Tax fund balance was down slightly in 2000. Mayor Kurz asked that the third paragraph from Thompson's memo be read into the record. The town was able to increase the general fund balance by $1 million, which is $1.3 million in excess of the amended 2000 budget. We had anticipated a $300,000 loss in fund balance in the Y2000 amended budget. This $1.3 million came from revenue e t exceeding budget by $605,247 and expenditures coming under budget by $761,441. The departments with the largest savings included police, $226,071; fire, $119,994; and public works, $115,816 (see page 4 for more details). The excess revenue of $605,247 is made up of several revenue sources, including sales tax, $167,101; resort fees (lift tax revenue), $71,723; and parking revenue, $217,417 (see page 3 for more details). Kurz also commended Thompson for the "belt-tightening" this past year and not impacting services, all showing very positive results. Councilmember Moffet stated this was a testimony to the staff, and their integrity in holding the line on expenses. The Council thanked Steve Thompson for the report, and they are looking forward to the audited financial statement report in June. The seventh item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Councilmembers were asked to appoint two members to serve on the Parking Task Force Committee to develop parking strategies and objectives. Councilmember Donovan offered a suggestion to combine an implementation team into the strategy task force. Councilmember Moffet asked staff to notify the liquor licensing authority applicants immediately of the outcome of the vote and to encourage Robert Rothenberg to reapply in the future. As there was no further business, Councilmember Moffet made a motion to adjourn. Councilmember Slifer seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Ludwig Kurz, Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk Minutes taken by Mary A.

Ludwig Kurz, Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk L xc: Cft~a , f 6"5.41 TO: Town Council, Town of Vail Todd Oppenheimer, Town of Vail Department of Public Works FROM: Holiday House (Nine Vail Road) Condominium Association DATE: June 1, 2001 SUBJECT: Meadow Drive Streetscape Proposals Nine Vail Road Condominium Association applauds and supports the efforts the Town of Vail is making to enhance the Meadow Drive Streetscape. We participated in the design review efforts in late February and have had time to further consider some of the practical aspects of the design alternatives. We wish to express our thanks, too, to the Department of Public Works for staking the Town of Vail right-of-way along Meadow Drive. It has helped us to visualize the effect of the different options being presented. Although initially attracted to the "promenade" options, because they de-emphasize the roadway and emphasize the pedestrian way, we have some practical concerns with these options. These include the traffic circle shown at the Meadow Drive/Vail Road intersection and the effect of the "promenade" on the placement of the westbound roadway. Traffic Circle at Meadow Drive and Vail Road An ever-increasing amount of traffic is passing through this intersection. Vehicles entering the village, the chapel, the Sonnenalp and First Bank all use Vail Road. Clearly a roundabout at this intersection would increase the speed of traffic through this intersection as compared to the current 4-way stop. Because they are designed for traffic flow, roundabouts are not pedestrian-friendly. Todd Oppenheimer has said that this may not be a "roundabout," but simply a landscaped circle with "stop" signs at the points of entry. We still believe a circle would introduce problems that do not exist now. Today, pedestrians and vehicles at all four corners of this intersection are fully visible and can make eye contact with each other. A landscaped circle could impact that visibility. Further, the distance between the "stop" signs at the entrance to the circle and the pedestrian crossing in the middle of the circle would be increased, such that vehicles would be accelerating away from the "stop" signs at the point of pedestrian crossing. Mayor's Park is a charming entrance to West Meadow Drive and a pleasant place for guests to sit. Either a traffic circle or a roundabout would encroach into the park grounds. It would be a shame to tear it up now for a traffic circle of questionable value. Promenade Options and Westbound Roadwav The Town of Vail right-of-way, as staked by the Department of Public Works, is located 12 to 15 feet into the landscaped area between the Nine Vail Road building and West Meadow Drive or, more importantly, 10 to 12 feet from the building. While the volume of automobile traffic will be significantly lower than it is today, the buses are a constant on this route. Buses accelerating from the intersection would be traveling right under the windows of the units at the southwest corner of the building with little land available for any landscape buffer. This is of great concern to us. Various options of the "promenade" design have the same effect on the Vail Plaza Hotel, which has increased setbacks from West Meadow Drive to provide a generous greenspace between its ground level units and West Meadow Drive. An additional concern with the "promenade" options is that they require pedestrians to cross traffic three times between East Meadow Drive and the end of the promenade, while the "20-6" approach requires just one, from East Meadow Drive to West Meadow Drive at Vail Road. These concerns make the "promenade" solution unacceptable to the Nine Vail Road Condominium Association. We strongly support the more traditional "20-6" approach with landscape buffers between the roadway and pedestrian way.

Accordingly, we have transferred one of the CEOs from the Vail Police Department to the Community Development Department. This change will become effective on Monday, June 4th. On that date, David Rhoades will move from the Vail PD to the Community Development Department. His assignment will be to enforce zoning, sign code, and other code violations on private property. The police CEOs will continue to enforce parking, traffic, loading and delivery, and other code violations which occur in the public rights-of-way. Additionally, David will provide backup and enforcement services with the PD CEOs on high traffic days during the ski season and 4th of July. We believe this will provide more consistent and effective enforcement of the town's ordinances and regulations. WAYFINDING UPDATE The town is finishing out the first phase of the Wayfinding project. To date, 120 of the 360 pedestrian blades have been installed with the remaining 250 arriving any day with installation immediately following. All the overhead signs in the two parking structures are installed and work continues with the wall mounted signs. Bases for the frontage road signs are in and shipment of the frontage road signs is expected within the week, installation to follow. Pedestrian maps and the two VMS signs at the parking structure entry will also be installed within the next two to three weeks. Bus stop signs were reworked to include the next bus signs. This installation is scheduled within the next few weeks. All of these signs should be installed prior to the 4th of July. The trail sign program was redesigned through the winter to better reflect the same wayfinding principles of the pedestrian blades. The design is complete and final pricing and production scheduling is taking place. The Ford park signs were coordinated with the Vail Valley Foundation and now the park signs are in production. These signs should be installed this summer. Review of regulatory signs is taking place along with a design work on the 1-70 off ramp to obtain FHWA and CDOT approval.

The result of this lottery will be a resale unit purchaser list. Any existing Town of Vail unit that becomes available for resale will be sold to the first person on the list, which will be in effect for one (1) year. Any new units built by or in partnership with the Town, or purchased by the Town through the buy-down program, will be sold through a separate lottery. Our schedule for this lottery is as follows: May 25 Approximately 300 postcards and 160 emails went out May 29 Applications were made available June 1 Ad will run in the Vail Daily June 8 Ad will run in the Vail Daily June 15 Ad will run in the Vail Daily June 22 Applications are due at noon July 9 Tiers will be published in the Vail Daily July 12 Lottery will be held at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers We anticipate that with the creation of this list, the resale process will be made easier for our applicants, our sellers, and the Town. Applicants will not have to fill out new paperwork every time a resale unit becomes available, sellers will not have to wait for the entire lottery process in order to find a buyer, and Town staff will not have to facilitate a new lottery for every resale.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr.McLauran: I am writing both to thank you for your previous support and to appeal for a critical, and, hopefully, final contribution to the Colorado Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS). As you are probably aware, the Secretary of State has approved the ballot language for a TABOR initiative that will transfer $50 million to the Colorado Intermountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) to conduct a test and demonstration of its proposed high speed monorail system at the Transportation Technology Test Center (TTCI) in Pueblo, Colorado, the nation's premiere transportation vehicle testing facility. I recently requested an unpaid, six month leave of absence from my position as CIFGA's Executive Director in order to coordinate the petition campaign that will place this question on the November 2001 ballot. We must collect more than a hundred thousand signatures from registered Colorado voters by August 6. Organizing this effort, particularly if paid petitioners prove to be needed, requires cash on the barrelhead. I urge you to regard this appeal as a way to guarantee the value of your previous contributions. Without the assistance of the towns and cities along the I-70 corridor CARTS would never have been successful in creating CIFGA. After three years of effort, I believe we not only have a solution to the growing congestions on I-70 but a proposal which is popular with Colorado residents. A recent statewide poll found that voters favored the monorail by nearly a 2 to 1 margin over a further widening of I-70. This November's ballot question provides us a unique chance to reshape Colorado's future in a way that protects the unique qualities that we value so highly. Lets not kid ourselves, the default solution will be not only to widen 1-70, thereby pouring ever more cars into our mountain communities, but ultimately to crisscross our mountain valleys with a network of freeways. I am not suggesting a specific amount in this letter because I want you to dig as deep as you can to assist this effort. I promise you that every dollar will be well spent. In the fall we will approach the private sector to fund the election campaign. For now our sights are set on collecting the signatures necessary to put this question before voters. Your help is critical.

If so, we will be up 8.82% or $81,714.00 from April 2000 and up 6.12% or $58,177.00 from budget and the ski season would reflect a 6.4% increase.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr.McLauran: I am writing both to thank you for your previous support and to appeal for a critical, and, hopefully, final contribution to the Colorado Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS). As you are probably aware, the Secretary of State has approved the ballot language for a TABOR initiative that will transfer $50 million to the Colorado Intermountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) to conduct a test and demonstration of its proposed high speed monorail system at the Transportation Technology Test Center (TTCI) in Pueblo, Colorado, the nation's premiere transportation vehicle testing facility. I recently requested an unpaid, six month leave of absence from my position as CIFGA's Executive Director in order to coordinate the petition campaign that will place this question on the November 2001 ballot. We must collect more than a hundred thousand signatures from registered Colorado voters by August 6. Organizing this effort, particularly if paid petitioners prove to be needed, requires cash on the barrelhead. I urge you to regard this appeal as a way to guarantee the value of your previous contributions. Without the assistance of the towns and cities along the I-70 corridor CARTS would never have been successful in creating CIFGA. After three years of effort, I believe we not only have a solution to the growing congestions on I-70 but a proposal which is popular with Colorado residents. A recent statewide poll found that voters favored the monorail by nearly a 2 to 1 margin over a further widening of I-70. This November's ballot question provides us a unique chance to reshape Colorado's future in a way that protects the unique qualities that we value so highly. Lets not kid ourselves, the default solution will be not only to widen I-70, thereby pouring ever more cars into our mountain communities, but ultimately to crisscross our mountain valleys with a network of freeways. I am not suggesting a specific amount in this letter because I want you to dig as deep as you can to assist this effort. I promise you that every dollar will be well spent. In the fall we will approach the private sector to fund the election campaign. For now our sights are set on collecting the signatures necessary to put this question before voters. Your help is critical. If you have any questions or require an invoice, please contact Mary Jane Loevlie at 303-567-4100. s ec By, err Hu son t, Xc•.

If so, we will be up 8.82% or $81,714.00 from April 2000 and up 6.12% or $58,177.00 from budget and the ski season would reflect a 6.4% increase. Lift Tax for November through April is up 15.61% or $281,978.00.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr.McLauran: I am writing both to thank you for your previous support and to appeal for a critical, and, hopefully, final contribution to the Colorado Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS). As you are probably aware, the Secretary of State has approved the ballot language for a TABOR initiative that will transfer $50 million to the Colorado Intermountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) to conduct a test and demonstration of its proposed high speed monorail system at the Transportation Technology Test Center (TTCI) in Pueblo, Colorado, the nation's premiere transportation vehicle testing facility. I recently requested an unpaid, six month leave of absence from my position as CIFGA's Executive Director in order to coordinate the petition campaign that will place this question on the November 2001 ballot. We must collect more than a hundred thousand signatures from registered Colorado voters by August 6. Organizing this effort, particularly if paid petitioners prove to be needed, requires cash on the barrelhead. I urge you to regard this appeal as a way to guarantee the value of your previous contributions. Without the assistance of the towns and cities along the I-70 corridor CARTS would never have been successful in creating CIFGA. After three years of effort, I believe we not only have a solution to the growing congestions on I-70 but a proposal which is popular with Colorado residents. A recent statewide poll found that voters favored the monorail by nearly a 2 to 1 margin over a further widening of I-70. This November's ballot question provides us a unique chance to reshape Colorado's future in a way that protects the unique qualities that we value so highly. Lets not kid ourselves, the default solution will be not only to widen I-70, thereby pouring ever more cars into our mountain communities, but ultimately to crisscross our mountain valleys with a network of freeways. I am not suggesting a specific amount in this letter because I want you to dig as deep as you can to assist this effort. I promise you that every dollar will be well spent. In the fall we will approach the private sector to fund the election campaign. For now our sights are set on collecting the signatures necessary to put this question before voters.

CO hi4)l Mr. Rob Ford May 24, 2001 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Ford: I am writing both to thank you for your previous support and to appeal for a critical, and, hopefully, final contribution to the Colorado Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS). As you are probably aware, the Secretary of State has approved the ballot language for a TABOR initiative that will transfer $50 million to the Colorado Intermountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) to conduct a test and demonstration of its proposed high speed monorail system at the Transportation Technology Test Center (TTCI) in Pueblo, Colorado, the nation's premiere transportation vehicle testing facility. I recently requested an unpaid, six month leave of absence from my position as CIFGA's Executive Director in order to coordinate the petition campaign that will place this question on the November 2001 ballot. We must collect more than a hundred thousand signatures from registered Colorado voters by August 6. Organizing this effort, particularly if paid petitioners prove to be needed, requires cash on the barrelhead. I urge you to regard this appeal as a way to guarantee the value of your previous contributions. Without the assistance of the towns and cities along the I-70 corridor CARTS would never have been successful in creating CIFGA. After three years of effort, I believe we not only have a solution to the growing congestions on I-70 but a proposal which is popular with Colorado residents. A recent statewide poll found that voters favored the monorail by nearly a 2 to 1 margin over a further widening of I-70. This November's ballot question provides us a unique chance to reshape Colorado's future in a way that protects the unique qualities that we value so highly. Lets not kid ourselves, the default solution will be not only to widen I-70, thereby pouring ever more cars into our mountain communities, but ultimately to crisscross our mountain valleys with a network of freeways. I am not suggesting a specific amount in this letter because I want you to dig as deep as you can to assist this effort. I promise you that every dollar will be well spent. In the fall we will approach the private sector to fund the election campaign. For now our sights are set on collecting the signatures necessary to put this question before voters. Your help is critical. If you have any questions or require an invoice, please contact Mary Jane Loevlie at 303-567-4100.

Council requested additional information regarding the Promenade Solution prior to ' making a decision between the alternatives. ' This report discusses additional options for the Promenade Solution, and includes our recommendations regarding additional issues that require decisions from Council, as follows: • Design for Vail Road / Meadow Drive intersection: roundabout versus "T" • Right-of-way issues including parking, Mayor's Park, access to the Talisman, and private landscaping A decision is needed on which alternative to pursue, either the 20/6 or the Promenade Solution. If the choice is the Promenade, then decisions are needed on the options within the Promenade Alternative. These decisions are needed before we can proceed to preliminary design. Following this report is a copy of information that was mailed to Meadow Drive property owners, residents, and business owners on May 4, 2001. It contains illustrations and an explanation of the new options for the Promenade Solution. ' Design Schedule ' Providing Council chooses an alternative and makes the other decisions requested above at its June 5 meeting, we will proceed with the following schedule: • Review preferred alternative and request comments from PEC and DRB July • Provide updated progress reports to Council ...........................................August and September • Request review and approval of final design by Council, PEC and DRB October ' • Begin construction ............................................................................................................Spring, 2002 Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 1 ' Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 ' Promenade Alternative The alternative that received the most favor from Town Council was the Promenade, which provided a walkway down the center of West Meadow Drive from the Vail Road intersection to ' just west of Chateau Vail. The original layout showed the Promenade with the westbound lane bowed to the north approximately 22 feet from the Chateau Vail entrance, which is outside the Town of Vail right-of-way. In the original design, the approximate length of the Promenade is 450 feet. Concerns were raised regarding access to the private properties along the Promenade's length, where breaks in the landscaping would allow for crossing, and we were asked to explore shortening the overall length. Also, concern was expressed over the relative ' closeness of the westbound lane to Chateau Vail. These concerns prompted development of other options, which are outlined below. These options provide a range of configurations in length, and proximity to the Chateau Vail entrance, all of which (including the original layout) ' will serve the intended purpose. The pros and cons are discussed in more detail in the material following this report. ? Decision point Option 1. From Vail Road intersection through Chateau Vail, roadway slightly bowed north and approximately 32 feet from Chateau Vail entrance, providing an opportunity for enhanced public space. Approximate length of Promenade is 450 feet. The westbound lane is outside the Town of Vail right-of-way. Opportunities exist for enhanced public space in front of Chateau 1 Vail. Option 2. From Vail Road intersection through Chateau Vail, roadway straight and ' approximately 48 feet from Chateau Vail entrance. Approximate length of Promenade is 450 feet. The westbound lane is inside the Town of Vail right-of-way. Some opportunity exists for enhanced public space with this option. t Option 3. From Vail Road intersection to just west of Fire Station. Approximate length of Promenade is 200 feet. This length may not provide enough opportunity for landscaping or ' enhancing public space, thereby minimizing the overall intent of the design. ' If Council selects the Promenade Solution, Option 2 best meets the project objectives. Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 2 ' Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 ' Vail Road / Meadow Drive Intersection Design A "T" intersection or a small roundabout at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive are both viable options. Pedestrian movement through a "T" intersection would be by conventional means. A small roundabout was envisioned as part of the Promenade alternative, and would have ' three functions: • First, by favoring pedestrians over vehicles, it is intended to provide a layout that will ' strongly express that Meadow Drive is a pedestrian zone. • Second, with enhanced signage the roundabout would allow lost drivers to easily exit the primarily residential area. • Third, it provides definitive direction for the pedestrians crossing between East and West Meadow Drive. Pedestrians are directed towards the center of the roundabout to cross Vail Road, providing a pedestrian-oriented pathway between East and West Meadow Drive. The concept of routing ' pedestrians through the center of a roundabout is rarely, if ever implemented, and further investigation was conducted. Given the slow speeds of vehicles in the area, and the desire to make this area truly pedestrian friendly, this concept could provide an adequate solution. As 1 this configuration is rarely used, there is a concern for the safety of pedestrians crossing through the center of the roundabout. Appropriate configuration and signing would clearly communicate the pedestrian nature of the area. An alternate option would be to provide sidewalks on all outside corners of the roundabout to direct pedestrians around the roundabout instead of through it. However, this eliminates the overall intent of providing a simple, direct connection between East and West Meadow Drive. Either means will work; however, if the intent is to provide a true pedestrian priority between ' East and West Meadow Drive, directing pedestrians through the center of the roundabout would better meet that intent. ' ? Decision point Option 1. Pedestrians directed through center of roundabout ' Option 2. Pedestrians directed around roundabout t Option 3. "T" intersection with conventional pedestrian movement Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 3 ' Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 i ' Right-of-Way Considerations ' Concerns have been expressed over the line that divides the Town right-of-way and private property. While it has been the intent of this project to provide a boundary that is indistinct in ' terms of landscaping, concerns have been raised over parking, impacts to Mayor's Park, access to the Talisman off Meadow Drive, and existing landscaping placed by the private sector on Town property. Parking. Residential parking appears to encroach on the Town right-of-way in ' two instances: the Alphorn and a private residence at 252 West Meadow Drive. At the Alphorn, it has been noted that some longer vehicles parked in front of the building extend beyond the right-of- way line. At 252 West Meadow Drive, it appears that parking is partially on Town right-of-way. Design solutions are ' being investigated and will be worked out with the property owners. ' Mayor's Park. Improvements to the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive will require some reconfiguration of Mayor's Park, because a roundabout will require more area than a tee intersection. The Community Development Department reported that Mayor's Park is not ' considered to be dedicated open space. Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 4 ' Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 r ab. ~a c5 1 dry r ~~.k~ ~ ~ X11 t r js O Location of existing easement 1 ' Talisman Access. Currently, residents access the Talisman through the Sonnenalp property by agreement with Sonnenalp Resort. The Sonnenalp is currently planning redevelopment of its Swiss Haus and Bavaria Haus properties, and their planner indicates that although continued access has been offered, residents of the Talisman do not favor that option. There is a Meadow Drive access easement on the west side of the Talisman property, and moving this r access to the east side of the property has been discussed. While this would be a better option than providing access from the west side, it is certainly not the best arrangement for East Meadow Drive. The intent is to provide an area that is oriented toward pedestrians and transit, ' and the addition of private vehicles could create conflicts. However, the volume of private vehicles would be small, and the conflicts would be minimal. ' It is recommended that discussions continue to determine if private vehicles could be kept off Meadow Drive in this area. 1 Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 5 ' Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 Alpenrose Cafe. At resent, the deck at the Alpenrose encroaches several feet into the Town right- of-way, as illustrated at left, and • the Cafe has a revocable permit which covers the encroachment. - It would be in the best interest of the Town and the property f ` _r•- x r owners to give consideration to C4 r ~r k incorporating this deck into the overall design of the 16 improvements. qp~ v II • rx . a I ' PE ~i.. ?

There are approximately 9 evergreen trees, 38 evergreen shrubs, 19 ' M deciduous trees, and 63 deciduous shrubs that will be impacted by the improvements on East and West Meadow 14L Drive, as listed in the following table: ~ F r Meadow Drive Streetscape improvement Project 6 Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 ' Impacted Trees and Shrubs Potential Impact ' Within ROW Within 5 ft. of ROW East Meadow Drive _ Evergreen Trees 1 2 ' Evergreen Shrubs 7 5 Deciduous Trees 6 2 Deciduous Shrubs 8 10 West Meadow Drive Evergreen Trees 4 2 Evergreen Shrubs 10 16 Deciduous Trees 3 8 ' Deciduous Shrubs 21 24 East and West Meadow Drive ' Everqreen Trees 5 4 Evergreen Shrubs 17 21 Deciduous Trees 9 10 Deciduous Shrubs 29 34 ' Total Impacted 60 69 As past practices and customs have been to work with property owners on a case-by-case basis on such issues, this method is recommended for the Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project. The considerations listed below are recommended as an overall direction for relocating or replacing. • Selected, mature, high quality, healthy, and relocatable trees should be considered for ' relocation. • Other selected, mature, high quality, healthy, but not relocatable trees and shrubs should be replaced with common nursery stock. • Shrub areas and flowerbeds should be reconstructed in concert with the overall theme of the Meadow Drive improvements. • Additional vegetation and landscaping features should be considered at selected properties to emphasize the concept of providing an indistinct line between Town right-of-way and ' private property. Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project 7 Updated Conceptual Design Presentation • June 5, 2001 ' Utility Investigations ' Strong concerns were expressed regarding the relocation and visibility of utility boxes for this project. Utility investigations will continue once an alternative is selected and will be coordinated with proposed development in the private sector and the existing residences. At ' this time our intent is to include the utilities within the Town's right-of-way, basing the locations upon the specific improvements being made. Selection of utility locations will be based upon easy maintenance access, minimal disruption to completed work and landscaping, ' and proposed development in the area. It has been suggested that moving the utility boxes underground would be the most desirable approach aesthetically; however, this comes at a high cost. As we move into the design, we will investigate each location and discuss options with adjacent property owners, with the intent of locating utilities on Town right-of-way or within existing utility easements. Slight modifications to portions of the design may be necessary to ' accommodate this approach. Construction Schedule Provided decisions can be reached on a selected alternative soon and the design schedule as ' presented can be adhered to, construction can commence in the spring of 2002. Once the design progresses beyond the conceptual stage and into the preliminary design stage, specific construction sequencing can be recommended. In addition, it will be prudent to coordinate all ' proposed development along Meadow Drive with this project to minimize the overall impact of construction.
