MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Department of Community Development DATE: July 17, 2001 SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to discuss proposed text amendments to Lionshead Mixed Use I to allow for additional commercial ski storage opportunities. Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Allison Ochs On June 25, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed a proposal to amend the Lionshead Mixed Use zone districts to allow for additional ski storage opportunities in Lionshead. Attached is the staff memorandum from their review. The Planning and Environmental Commission directed staff to continue to explore the option which would allow ski storage on the first and second levels of buildings in Lionshead as a conditional use permit and with specific regulations regarding the size and amount of ski storage within a commercial unit. In addition, the Planning and Environmental Commission agreed that a definition of "pedestrian way" should be added to the Town Code to clarify the interpretation of the levels of buildings. This definition will be applicable to all buildings in the Town of Vail. On July 23, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission will be reviewing the final proposed text amendments regarding the commercial ski storage regulations. The Planning and Environmental Commission will be making a recommendation to the Town Council. Today, staff is looking for additional input from the Town Council. The Town Council will then be seeing the text amendments for first reading of the ordinance on August 7, 2001. Please refer to the attached memorandum dated June 25, 2001, for details on the proposed changes. MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Department of Community Development DATE: June 25, 2001 SUBJECT: A request for a worksession to discuss a proposed text amendment to Lionshead Mixed Use I to allow for commercial ski storage on the first floor. Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Allison Ochs 1. BACKGROUND OF THE REQUEST The Town of Vail has recognized a need to re-visit the issue of commercial ski storage within certain commercial zone districts within the Town of Vail. This discussion resulted from a recent application regarding commercial ski storage in Lionshead and the difficulty at the staff level in establishing locations as first level or basement level. In 1989, the zoning code was amended to allow commercial ski storage as a permitted use only in the basement and garden level of buildings in CCI and CCII. At that time, there were several existing ski storage facilities located in basements that had been approved by the Town of Vail as an accessory use to an existing ski shop. Prior to 1989, the Town Code did not specifically deal with commercial ski storage as a separate use, instead, it was considered a personal service. In 1997, an application was submitted to the Town of Vail by Vail Associates to permit outdoor commercial ski storage in the Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II zone districts. Originally, the application included amending CCI and CCII to allow for commercial ski storage on all levels of a building. However, the Planning and Environmental Commission did not look upon this favorably, and that portion of the proposal was removed. The Planning and Environmental Commission voted 4 to 2 in favor of allowing outdoor commercial ski storage in the CCI and CCII zone district. However, the ordinance failed at the Town Council level, and no amendments were made to the zoning code regarding commercial ski storage. The Town Council has asked the staff to pursue an ordinance which would allow commercial ski storage at additional locations in Lionshead. II. CURRENT REGULATIONS Section 12-2-2 of the Town Code defines "commercial ski storage" as: Storage for equipment (skis, snowboards, boots and poles) and/or clothing used in skiing-related sports, which is available to the public or members, operated by TOWN OF VAIL O; a business, club or government organization, and where a fee is charged for hourly, daily, monthly, seasonal or annual usage. Ski storage that is part of a lodge, or dwelling unit, in which a fee is not charged, is not considered commercial ski storage. Commercial ski storage is listed as a permitted use at the basement or garden level in the Commercial Core I, Commercial Core II, Lionshead Mixed Use I, and Lionshead Mixed Use II. "Basement or garden level" is defined by the zoning code as: The 'basement" or "garden level" shall be defined as that floor of a building that is entirely or substantially below grade. The Uniform Building Code defines a "basement" as: Any floor level below the first story in a building, except that a floor level in a building having only one floor level shall be classified as a basement unless such floor level qualifies as a first story as defined herein. The Uniform Building Code defines "first story" as: The lowest story in a building that qualifies as a story, as defined herein, except that a floor level in a building having only one floor level shall be classified as a first story, provided such floor level is not more than 4 feet below grade, as defined herein, for more than 50 percent of the total perimeter, or not more than 8 feet below grade, as defined herein, at any point. Recently, staff denied an application to locate commercial ski storage within Banner Sports. Staff identified the location as "first floor" which is defined by the Town Code as: The "first floor" or "street level" shall be defined as that floor of the building that is located at grade or street level along a pedestrianway. In response to that staff decision, the Town Council requested that staff review this policy, and bring forth an amendment to the Town Code, specifically with regards to commercial ski storage in Lionshead. Staff has identified the following statements in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan which apply to this request. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan: 1.2 The Pedestrian Environment. The defining characteristic of Lionshead is its pedestrian environment, and the emphasis of the master plan is to improve its quality as a generator of activity. Pedestrian connections are intended to be the underlying framework of the physical plan. Two primary pedestrian corridors are proposed to provide for a cohesive, consistent, well defined pedestrian and retail environment serving both the destination guest and the local community. 2.3.1 Renewal and Redevelopment. Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to become a warmer, more vibrant environment for guests and residents. Lionshead needs an appealing and coherent 2 identity, a sense of place, a personality, a purpose, and an improved aesthetic character. 2.3.2 Vitality and Amenities. We must seize the opportunity to enhance guest experience and community interaction through expanded and additional activities and amenities such as performing arts venues, conference facilities, ice rinks, streetscape, parks and other recreational improvements. 8.3.3 Renewed and expanded retail frontage. For properties fronting the Lionshead retail mall and retail pedestrian streets, the renovation and expansion of the ground floor retail level is perhaps the most critical element in revitalizing the Lionshead retail core. 5.8.5 Retail Space Allocation. A primary goal of the Lionshead Master plan is to increase both the amount and the quality of retail space in the pedestrian core. The sunny south-facing sides of buildings (for example, at the Lifthouse Lodge and the creek side of the VA core site) are ideal for restaurants. The shadier north-facing sides are more appropriate for retail uses that do not benefit as much from a direct relationship with the outdoors. Use of ground floor commercial space for offices is not recommended on the primary pedestrian mall, these businesses should be located instead on the second story or outside the main pedestrian corridor. In August of 1997, the Town of Vail completed the Vail Retail Market Study, prepared by Design Workshop, Inc., as a component of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. That document, part of the Appendices of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, has been attached for reference. Staff has also identified the following goals and objectives from the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff believes that the following apply to this proposal: 2.0 Skier/Tourist Concerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day skiers. 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together to improve facilities for day skiers. 2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 3 3.0 Commercial 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 3.5 Entertainment oriented business and cultural activities should be encouraged in the core areas to create diversity. More nighttime businesses, on-going events and sanctioned "street happenings" should be encouraged. 4.0 Village Core / Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 4.4 The connection between the Village Core and Lionshead should be enhanced through: a) Installation of a new type of people mover. b) Improving the pedestrian system with a creatively designed connection oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and/or sculpture plaza. c) . New development should be controlled to limit commercial uses. Staff has researched how other communities address commercial ski storage. Of the communities contacted (Breckenridge, Park City, Aspen), none of the communities treat commercial ski storage as a separate use. Therefore, there is no specific regulation regarding its location. In addition, because of proximity to a mountain, it is not necessary to regulate ski storage in some communities. Aspen has regulations pertaining to outdoor ski storage, which have been attached for reference. III. DISCUSSION ITEMS The Town Council, staff, and applicants have recognized that ski storage enhances the guest experience. By having the ability to store ski equipment, the guest is able to more freely experience the Town after skiing, providing benefits to the retail establishments, restaurants, and the Town in general. However, these benefits must also be weighed against the importance of a vibrant retail pedestrian corridor through dynamic retail storefronts. Staff has identified the following scenarios for consideration for this Zoning Code amendment: A. No change The current regulations allow for commercial ski storage in the basement or garden level of a building in CCI, CCII, LMUI and LMUIL The intent of horizontal zoning, which limits certain uses on each floor, is to contribute to the retail 4 vibrancy of the main pedestrian corridors within the Town of Vail. With this option, staff recommends that at a minimum, a definition of "pedestrianway" is added to the zoning regulations, making horizontal zoning easier to implement. PROS CONS Consistency among zone No additional ski storage provided districts Consistency with Lionshead Difficulty in implementation Redevelopment Master Plan Difficulty in enforcement B. Amend the definitions of "basement or garden level" and "first floor or street level" Some of the criticism that has surrounded the current regulations regarding commercial ski storage has focused on the lack of clarity regarding what constitutes basement level vs. first floor. Due to the varying terrain in both Vail Village and Lionshead, some storefronts that are basement level on one street can be considered first floor on another. With this option, staff recommends that in addition to amending the above definition, a definition of "pedestrianway" is also added to the zoning regulations, making horizontal zoning easier to implement. PROS CONS Greater clarity for applicants and No additional ski storage provided staff Consistency among zone districts Consistency with master plans Eases implementation Maintains horizontal zoning C. Allow commercial ski storage as a percentage of overall floor area of a commercial or retail unit. Commercial ski storage has been identified as a crucial element of skier services. Allowing ski storage as a percentage of overall floor area of a commercial unit would allow the use as an accessory to an existing retail establishment. For example, 10% of a retail establishment could be devoted to commercial ski storage. Commercial ski storage could be allowed as a conditional use, permitted use, or accessory use. PROS CONS Allows for commercial ski Difficulty of enforcement storage Maintains elements of horizontal Eliminates viable commercial square zoning footage Recognizes commercial ski storage as an accessory use 5 D. Allow commercial ski storage as a conditional use on all floors of a building. By establishing specific criteria for the review of a conditional use permit, commercial ski storage could be added as a conditional use in the Lionshead Mixed Use I and II zone districts. The criteria could focus on primary and secondary pedestrian corridors as identified in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. PROS CONS Ability to review according to Eliminates viable commercial square established conditional use footage permit criteria Allows for additional commercial Inconsistency with other zone ski storage districts with similar uses E. Allow outdoor commercial ski storage as a conditional use on the exterior of a building as a conditional use. The application that was submitted in 1997, focused on outdoor commercial ski storage as a conditional use. The Planning and Environmental Commission recommended that outdoor commercial ski storage would not be freestanding, but could be attached to landscaping or site walls, and would be subject to design review.

No. 3-1973, § 1: Code 1971, § 19-142) MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: August 5, 1997 SUBJECT: Discussion of proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to permit outdoor commercial ski storage in the Commercial Core 1 and Commercial Core 2 Zone Districts. Applicant: Vail Associates, represented by Joe Macy Planner: Lauren Waterton Vail Associates has submitted an application to the Town of Vail to amend the Zoning Code to permit outdoor commercial ski storage in the Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II Zone Districts. The following amendments are proposed: 1. Add "outdoor commercial ski storage" as a conditional use in the Commercial Core 1 and Commercial Core 2 Zone Districts; 2. Add definitions to the Zoning Code for "commercial ski storage", "outdoor commercial ski storage" and "ski racks"; and 3. Add additional conditional use permit review criteria for outdoor commercial ski storage. These amendments are specifically outlined in the attached staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, dated July 14, 1997. The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) reviewed this application during two worksessions and at a final hearing in July. On July 14th, the PEC recommended approval (by a vote of 4-2) of the requested amendments, with the following condition: Conditional use criteria 8a, be changed to reflect that the outdoor commercial ski storage not be freestanding, but may be attached to any landscaping or site walls when not obstructing views, from or into outdoor dining decks or transparent storefronts. The design of the access to the storage shall be at the applicant's discretion, per the Design Guidelines, with the recommendation that access be via side-hinged doors and not via overhead doors. The two PEC members who voted in opposition, Ann Bishop and Galen Aasland, were generally in support of the request, but specifically wanted to prohibit overhead doors on any enclosed outdoor commercial ski storage. However, the remaining members of the PEC did not want to make this a specific requirement, but only a suggestion (as reflected in the above-listed condition). This information is provided for discussion only. First reading of an ordinance is scheduled for August 19, 1997. MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: July 14, 1997 RE: A request for amendments to Chapter 18.04, Sections 18.24.060, 18.26.040 and 18.60.060 of the Zoning Code to add Outdoor Commercial Ski Storage as a conditional use in the Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II zone districts. Applicant: Vail Associates, Inc., represented by Joe Macy Planner: Lauren Waterton/Mike Mollica 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS The applicant is requesting an amendment to the zoning code to allow for commercial outdoor ski storage. Since the PEC worksession on June 23, 1997, the applicant has withdrawn the request to allow commercial ski storage on all building levels in Commercial Core I (CCI) and Commercial Core 11 (CCII). The applicant is still requesting to amend the zoning code to allow outdoor commercial ski storage as a conditional use in CCI and CCII. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to add definitions for commercial ski storage, outdoor commercial ski storage and ski racks and to add additional conditional use permit review criteria. - The proposed code revisions include: amending Sections 18.24.060 (Conditional Uses Generally) and 18.26.040 (Conditional Uses Generally) of the CCI and CCII zone districts; adding definitions of "commercial ski storage", "outdoor commercial ski storage" and "ski racks" to Chapter 18.04 (Definitions); and amending Section 18,60.060 (Criteria - Findings) of the Conditional Use Permit Chapter to add specific criteria review related to outdoor commercial ski storage. The proposed additional review criteria are based upon the elements of the Vail Village Urban Design Considerations and the Lionshead Urban Design Considerations. II. BACKGROUND In 1989, the zoning code was amended to allow commercial ski storage as a permitted use only in the basement and garden level of buildings in CCI and CCII. At that time, there were several existing ski storage facilities located in basements, that had been approved by the Town of Vail as an accessory use to an existing ski shop. There are a number of outdoor ski storage facilities that have been erected over the years. The existing regulations do not permit outdoor ski storage facilities to be installed. Earlier this year, staff denied a request by Vail Associates for Design Review Board approval for ski storage in Lionshead, next to the Gondola Building. Upon appeal of that staff decision, the PEC upheld the staff's decision that a previous nonconforming use had been substantially changed so that the use had lost the nonconforming status. On June 9, 1997 and June 23, 1997, the PEC held worksessions to discuss the proposed changes to the code, as described above. The PEC discussed the appropriateness of indoor and outdoor commercial ski storage and the proposed definitions. The PEC and members of the public expressed concern regarding the aesthetics of outdoor ski storage. In an attempt to address these concerns, the applicant and the staff have developed specific review criteria for a conditional use permit for outdoor commercial ski storage. These criteria are in addition to the existing conditional use permit criteria. The proposed review criteria relate to location, design and development standards and are based upon specific design considerations of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and the Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan. III. CONFORMITY WITH THE TOWN'S RELEVANT PLANNING DOCUMENTS In considering the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code, staff has relied on several relevant planning documents. Specifically, staff reviewed the purpose sections of the CC1 and CC2 zone districts and the goals and objectives stated in the Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. Zonina Code According to the purpose statements of the CCI and CCII zone districts, these zone districts are intended to provide sites for commercial establishments which are compatible with other uses in the district. Staff believes that ski storage can a compatible use with permitted and conditional uses within these zone districts. Staff further believes that ski storage is a needed service and guest amenity and will complement the existing uses within the CC] and CCII zone districts. Vail Land Use Plan The following goals found in'the Vail Land Use Plan support this proposal: Goal 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. Goal 4.3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved (scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality). Goal 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. Vail Villa.ae Master Plan The following objectives found in the Vail Village Master Plan support this request: Objective 2.1 Recognize the variety of land uses found in the 10 subareas throughout the Village and allow for development that is compatible with these established land use patterns. Objective 2.4 Encourage the development of a variety of new commercial activity where compatible with existing land uses. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code to allow outdoor commercial ski storage as a conditional use in the CCI and CCII zone districts, add definitions for commercial ski storage, outdoor commerical ski storage and ski racks, and add specific review criteria for a conditional use permit for outdoor commercial ski storage. 2 Proposed text changes: Definitions Amend Section 18.04 - Definitions to add the following: "Commercial Ski Storaa_ e" means storage for equipment (skis, snowboards, boots and poles) and/or clothing used in skiing-related sports, which is available to the public or members, operated by a business, club or government organization, and where a fee is charged for hourly, daily, monthly, seasonal or annual usage. Ski storage that is part of a lodge, or dwelling unit, in which a fee is not charged, is not considered commercial ski storage. "Outdoor Commercial Ski Storaoe" means storage for equipment (skis, snowboards, boots, and poles) used in skiing-related sports, which is available to the public, operated by a business, club or government organization, and where a fee is charged for hourly or daily usage. Outdoor ski storage must be either enclosed in an accessory building or be in the form of vertically installed coin-operated ski locks, subject to design review approval. "Ski Racks" means racks available to the public for the temporary storage of skis, poles and snowboards, in which a fee is not charged. Commercial Core I zone district Amend Section 18.24.060 Conditional Uses - Generaliv to add the following: F. Outdoor commercial ski storage Commercial Core Il zone district Amend Section 18.26.040 Conditional Uses - Generallv to add the following: J. Outdoor commercial ski storage Existing Conditional Use Permit criteria The following are the existing conditional use permit review criteria that will be used to evaluate any outdoor commercial ski storage proposal (Section 18.60.060 Criteria - Findings): 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town; 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs; 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas; 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses; 3 5. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the proposed use; Additional Conditional Use permit criteria: The following are proposed to be added to Section 18.60.060 Criteria - Findinas: 8. Prior to the approval of a conditional use permit for outdoor commercial ski storage, the following shall be considered: a. Any outdoor commercial ski storage, that is considered a coin-operated ski lock, and that is not enclosed in an accessory building, must be affixed to an exterior wall of a building or structure. It may not be free-standing, attached to any landscaping, or site walls. b. The architectural character of the building of which the outdoor commercial ski storage is attached shall not be comprised or negatively impacted. . C. Outdoor commercial ski storage may only be permitted seasonally. Any outdoor commercial ski storage facility must be removed no later than June 1 st of every year and cannot be installed, or re-installed, prior to October 15th. d. Outdoor commercial ski storage shall not block any display window on the first floor of any building, nor shall it block the view from or into any outdoor dining deck. e. No landscaping shall be permanently displaced. f. Any outdoor commercial ski storage which is enclosed and is less than 120 square feet in area, shall not be considered floor area, for the purposes of calculating site coverage. Any outdoor commercial ski storage whereby the combined area is greater than 120 square feet, shall be included in the calculation of site coverage. g. Parking shall not be assessed for any outdoor commercial ski storage. 4 TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: September 26, 1989 SUBJECT: A request for an amendment to the Commercial Core I zone district to include commercial ski storage as a permitted use under Section 18.24.020 B-2. I. THE REQUEST There are several ski and boot locker rental facilities within the Commercial Core I Zone District. One facility is located in the basement of the Golden Peak House, one in the basement of the Hill Building, and one in the basement of the Wall Street Building. These uses have been approved and are allowed as an accessory to a ski shop and as a personal service business at basement or garden level. Last year, in November of 1988, the staff denied an application for a commercial ski.storage operation on street level on Bridge Street. This decision was appealed to the Planning and Environmental Commission. The Planning and Environmental Commission upheld the staff interpretation that this was not an allowable use on a street level. This year, we have had several similar requests and feel that it would be appropriate to amend the Zoning Code to clarify this situation for the benefit of both the Town of Vail staff and for the public. Commercial ski storage is certainly a guest service and a use that we wish to encourage within the Core areas. At the same time, we feel it is important to recognize the balance of the horizontal zoning controls in Vail Village. Office space and personal service uses do not provide the dynamic retail store fronts that we feel is important to the character of the Village and Lionshead area. It has been the staff opinion that the permitted and conditional uses for first floor or street level of the Commercial Core I do not allow this specific type of use. However, we would propose to add "Commercial Ski Storage" in Section 18.24.020 B2. Adding the specific use of commercial ski storage to the permitted uses of basement and garden level in Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II clarifies the staff's interpretation that this a personal service use and is allowed in basement level and is not permitted as a first floor or street level use. II. EVALUATION OF THIS REQUEST A. Suitabilitv of Existinq Zoninq The staff feels that the existing zoning for Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II is suitable, appropriate, and is functioning very well as it currently exists. We view this change as a minor clarification to this zone district. We feel that by clearly stating that commercial ski storage is a personal service use, and an allowable use in Section 18.24.020 B-2 Basement Level, we will eliminate some of the questions that have occured regarding commercial ski storage. We feel this clarification maintains the intent and balance of the horizontal zoning that is in place in Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II. B. Is the amendment proposal oresentina a convenient, workable relationship amonq land uses consistent with municipal objectives? The staff's opinion is that this amendment is a clarification of an issue regarding the Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II zone districts and is in harmony with the general intent of the Commercial Core I zone district as well as the objectives of the Town of Vail. C. Applicable Policies from Vail's Comprehensive Plan There are none. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff recommendation for this request is for approval. We feel that this use fits in with the personal service uses and while commercial ski storage is a necessary, important use in the Vail Village and in Lionshead area, we feel it is important to clarify that it should be permitted on basement or second floor levels only.

Upon first inspection, access to shops in Vail Village, may seem easy due to the intimate scale of buildings and the network of streets and alleys. In general this is true for individuals with no disabilities which would impair walking and stair climbing. There are however, differences in the degree of accessibility between different complexes and zones within the Village. In some ,Y instances, shops are flush with the ground level j 5 and can be accessed directly from the walkways without any major effort (Gore Creek Plaza Building).

Most of the shops in the Village are geared towards an upscale consumer, and feature brand name merchandise which meets consumer expectations. More importantly, there is a diversi- fication of retail, with a variety of shops selling products ranging from ski and outdoor sport- related equipment, fashion wear, shoes, art, and memorabilia among other products. Although shops are grouped closely together, because of the diversity, they are successful in drawing in visitors by keeping the retail experience interesting. Furthermore, the variety of fine restaurants and food-oriented services which are ; present also play an integral role in captivating visitors, and enhancing the overall experience. r~ Together, the presence of these shops and restaurants, constitute the destination experience for which visitors are "hungry", and expect to find in Vail. Vail Village appears to have found the right combination of commercial retail to 28 attract visitors on an almost year-round basis, who keep coming back for more, due to their pleasant experiences. However, according to merchants, things are beginning to change. Some say that visitors think Vail Village is getting "stale" and has not responded to the changes in the shopping and skier visitor market. Clock To"t Vail Village bail Rela,l Make; S ady L 1 0 N S H E A D R E T A I L Physical Attributes OVERVIEW Originally conceived as a secondary village and mountain access portal for Vail Mountain, 1 Lionshead has not experienced the success initially expected. In great part this is due to a lack of sense of charm that a visitor might expect from the "sister village" core to Vail. Fortunately, - this year Lionshead received a popularity boost from the operation of the new Gondola terminal, Lionshead Walkway and the area is currently under scrutiny due to the redevelopment process which is underway. Similar to Vail Village, commercial retail SCALE 'dominates the activity bank in Lionshead, and is therefore a primary concern of the redevelopment In general, the scale of Lionshead "Village" is process. imposing due to large public spaces created by over-sized buildings. In comparison with Vail ' CIRCULATION Village, Lionshead feels like an urban environment. As a ski resort base area, ` Perhaps the most pleasing aspect about Lionshead's connection to the mountain is rather Lionshead as a retail center, is that, like Vail, it is weak, in great part due to the manipulation of a pedestrianized environment, benefiting from scale. Buildings, streets, and walkways dominate most of the assets of a car-free environment.

Occasionally, visitors may find orientation of pedestrian walkways. Views into themselves disoriented and entering or ending and out of the Lionshead area are limited, and up in less than pedestrian oriented spaces, such seem to occur by chance, often terminating in a as parking lots and delivery areas. The sense of building wall or facade, or some other "destination" is unclear through the area, for the miscellaneous point. Since there is no defined presence of the Gondola terminal, which association between view corridors and currently serves as the main attraction to visitors circulation axises, visual cues from the 29 i of Lionshead. Although walkways have been surrounding environment to help pedestrians carefully designed, pedestrian circulation into orient themselves are scarce. Consequently, and out of the Lionshead area can be difficult. circulation suffers and pedestrians are often "lost" in the Lionshead core and asking for directions.

As a resort destination, Lionshead greatly lacks Lionshead has both retail spaces which are very the architectural "flair" or high quality which accessible, and those which are less accessible. It would otherwise give it the identity and character would greatly improve the quality of the retail it needs. As there has been no adoption of a experience if all spaces had a similar degree of particular architectural style or theme as in Vail accessibility by provision of standard ramps, Village, there is little unity or coordination of escalators, and elevators. building architecture. This is immediately apparent by comparing buildings to each other. PUBLIC SPACE Building architecture varies in scale, size and style, in some instances clashing. In general, the Lionshead has a substantial area of public space if resulting quality of finished buildings is low, both plazas, walkways, and parks are encompassed by in aesthetic and material terms. There are no truly the definition of public space. In some cases, the unique structures in Lionshead that standout, existing public space is very successful in posing a lack of identifiable landmarks for complimenting the retail experience, as it is visitors.

Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Allison Ochs Allison Ochs gave an overview of the staff memorandum, which included a background on the regulations regarding commercial ski storage and a number of options for revising the existing regulations. Galen Aasland asked if ski storage would generate sales tax revenue. Allison Ochs stated that in it was in 1997. Brian Doyon stated that he was not in favor of commercial ski storage because it would detract from the pedestrian core. Chas Bernhardt referred to the retail assessment and noted the conclusion that "survival of the fittest" be applied and retailers be allowed to provide commercial ski storage provided that transparency requirements are met. Doug Cahill stated that he was in agreement with this. He added that guest needs must be considered. He stated that outdoor ski storage should be allowed, subject to DRB approval but not on a 24-hour basis. John Schofield agreed with Doug, stating that guests should be accommodated and that allowing more convenient ski storage would potentially enable the guest to remain in the commercial areas longer and potentially generate more revenue for the Town. He added that this should only be applied to interior storage and that outdoor storage should not be addressed at this time. He added that restrictions could be added to commercial ski storage on the first floor. Galen Aasland stated outdoor ski storage may need to be considered and that the existing outdoor ski storage by Vail Resorts is awful. He stated that retailers should not be given unlimited potential for ski storage and that it should only be an accessory use in the back of a building subject to a conditional use permit. He also suggested that the conditional use permit should be uniform and that all requests for conditional use permits for commercial ski storage should be submitted by a certain date and reviewed annually. Allison Ochs asked for clarification regarding outdoor storage, stating that everyone seemed to be opposed to outdoor ski storage with the exception of Doug. Doug Cahill stated that the DRB should approve a uniform type of ski rack similar to the newspaper racks. Allison Ochs asked for clarification regarding the board's opinion toward conditional use permit. The board members agreed that this should be a conditional use permit. 7.

MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Allison Ochs, Department of Community Development DATE: July 17, 2001 SUBJECT: A request for Council direction on the adoption of the Lionshead View Corridors. View Corridor 1 is located approximately at the main pedestrian exit of the Lionshead parking structure looking southwest towards the Gondola lift line. View Corridor 2 is located approximately from the pedestrian plaza at the east end of the Lifthouse Lodge looking south up the Gondola lift line. 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST On May 20, 1997, recognizing the importance of visual connections, the Town Council approved the use of the existing Town of Vail view corridor ordinance to designate the first protected public view corridors in Lionshead. In order to qualify for protection under the Town's ordinance, a view corridor must meet the following criteria: 1. Is the view corridor critical to the identity, civic pride, and sense of place in Lionshead? 2. Is the view seen from a widely used, publicly accessible viewpoint. 3. Is the view threatened? Is there a possibility that development on nearby property would block the view? According to the Town Code, the purpose statement of Chapter 22, View Corridors is: The Town believes that preserving certain vistas is in the interest of the Town's residents and guests. Specifically, the Town believes that. A. The protection and perpetuation of certain mountain views and other significant views from various pedestrian public ways within the Town will foster civic pride and is in the public interest of the Town. B. It is desirable to designate, preserve and perpetuate certain views for the enjoyment and environmental enrichment for the residents and guests of the Town. C. The preservation of such views will strengthen and preserve the Town's unique environmental heritage and attributes. D. The preservation of such views will enhance the aesthetic and economic vitality and values of the Town. E. The preservation of such views is intended to promote design which is compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment, and is intended to provide for natural light to TOWN OF YAIL buildings and in public spaces in the vicinity of the view corridors. F. The preservation of such views will include certain focal points such as the Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower, which serve as prominent landmarks within Vail Village and contribute to the community's unique sense of place. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan identifies five View Corridors. However,, it recommends that only two legally protected view corridors be established. The remaining three views are to be established as critical design parameters, not as benchmarked and surveyed corridors. These other three view corridors are contigent on future development, and parameters of these views are to be considered at the time of development. Lionshead View Corridor 1 is seen from the west end of the Lionshead parking structure, standing at street level at the main pedestrian exit and looking southwest toward the gondola lift line. A full legal description and photo is attached for reference. Lionshead View Corridor 2 is seen from the pedestrian plaza at the east end of the Lifthouse Lodge, looking south directly up the gondola lift line. In December, Council requested that View Corridor #1 be re-surveyed and that View Corridor #2 be considered at a later date when more information about the core site redevelopment is known. In May, Council requested that both view corridors be resurveyed and brought back at a later date for consideration for adoption. Both view corridors have now been resurveyed and are attached for reference. The Planning and Environmental Commission is scheduled to review the view corridors on July 23, 2001, and will make a recommendation to the Town Council on the adoption of the view corridors. Staff is looking for Council's input before returning to the Planning and Environmental Commission. II. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR VIEW CORRIDORS A. Lionshead View Corridor 1 General Description This view corridor is seen from the west end of the Lionshead parking structure, standing at street level at the main pedestrian exit and looking southwest toward the gondola lift line. The following criteria must be met for the Planning and Environmental Commission to recommend approval of Lionshead View Corridor 1: 1. That the proposed view corridor protects and perpetuates views from public pedestrian areas, public ways, or public spaces within the Town which foster civic pride and are in the public interest for the Town. Staff believes that the proposed view corridor protects and perpetuates a primary view from this very important public area. Many visitors park at the Lionshead structure and enter Lionshead from the west end of the parking structure. This proposed view corridor protects the view up the gondola lift line. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, this view: a. Fosters civic pride and is central to the identity of Lionshead. 2 b. Is taken from a commonly used, publicly accessible viewpoint. This area is the primary point of entry for pedestrian traffic from the parking structure and is also the primary Lionshead transit stop. 2. That the proposed view corridor protects and enhances the Town's attraction to residents, guests and property owners. As stated above, this proposed view corridor is from a primary point of entry for many of Lionshead guests and residents. Is protects a view of Vail Mountain up the gondola liftline. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan identifies this area as the East Lionshead pedestrian portal, and encourages improvements to this entire pedestrian plaza area, including improved transit stops. 3. That the proposed view corridor protects a view which is commonly recognized and has inherent qualities which make it more valuable to the Town than other more common views. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, this view corridor is potentially threatened by redevelopment in the foreground of the view. As the primary pedestrian portal to Lionshead, it is more valuable to the Town than other common views. B. Lionshead View Corridor 2 General Description This view corridor is seen from the pedestrian plaza at the east end of the Lifthouse Lodge, looking south directly up the gondola lift line. The following criteria must be met for the Planning and Environmental Commission to recommend approval of Lionshead View Corridor 2: 1. That the proposed view corridor protects and perpetuates views from public pedestrian areas, public ways, or public spaces within the Town which foster civic pride and are in the public interest for the Town. Staff believes that the proposed view corridor protects and perpetuates a primary view from an important public area. This is a primary public plaza and popular public space. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, this view: a. Fosters civic pride and is central to the identity of Lionshead. b. Is taken from a commonly used, publicly accessible viewpoint. 2. That the proposed view corridor protects and enhances the Town's attraction to residents, guests and property owners. As stated above, this is a primary public plaza. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, this plaza area is identified as the resort retail and commercial hub of Lionshead. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan recommends improvements to this plaza area and encourages more pedestrian connections through Lionshead. 3 3. That the proposed view corridor protects a view which is commonly recognized and has inherent qualities which make them more valuable to the Town than other more common views. According to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, this view corridor is potentially threatened by redevelopment in the foreground of the view, specifically, the Vail Associates core site. In addition, as a primary pedestrian plaza, this view is more valuable than other views. 4 ,.r ~.;F ',+~,r .-.j ?

Parcel 40 is identified as a high priority for acquisition because it could provide access to a potential South Trail and is located in a geologically sensitive area. The Community Development Department has received a proposal to consolidate Lots 11 & 12. Another proposal has been received to resubdivide Lots 8, 9, & 10. Both of these proposals were reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission on June 25, 2001. Since that time, it has been determined that the minor subdivisions can not occur without variances due to the lack of buildable area on Lots 9, 10, 11, 112. Hence, a final review of both minor subdivisions and associated variance requests is scheduled for August 13, 2001. Prior to a final decision by the PEC, staff would like to determine whether or not the Town Council has an interest in purchasing or acquiring conservation easements upon any of the subject properties. There are three options: OPTION A - PURSUE A PURCHASE OF LOTS 8, 10 & 11 Parcel 40 is approximately 3.4 acres in size. The option to purchase the lots within Parcel 40 has not been discussed with the present owners. The benefit to the Town in purchasing the lots is that the Town would acquire all of the development rights. Hence, the Town would be able.to ensure that the lots would remain as open space in perpetuity. Though there may be limitations due to geologic hazards, all of the lots may be developed at present. OPTION B - PURSUE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS UPON LOTS 8, 10 & 11 The applicants' representative has informed staff that the owners of Lots 8, 10, & 11 may be amenable to the Town of Vail acquiring a conservation or environmental easement across the red hazard avalanche areas on these lots. This would not preclude development on the lots altogether. However, it could ensure that the geologically sensitive areas and steep lots would not be developed in the future. Also, the development rights for the easement areas could be transferred to the Town of Vail and/or to the Eagle Valley Land Trust. This would significantly reduce the development potential of Lots 8, 10 & 11. . OPTION C - TAKE NO ACTION The red hazard avalanche designation exists on a large portion of Parcel 40 (Lots 8, 10, & 11). The Town of Vail hazard regulations prohibit development in the red hazard avalanche area. Hence, Council may decide not to take action on the subject lots. The downside to this is that although the red hazard area can not be built upon, the area is still included in calculating development potential. Hence, the owners of Lots 8, 10 & 11 would retain all their existing development rights. TOWN OF VAIL r J'DESCRIPTION OF THE MINOR SUBDIVISION REOUESTS The applicants, June Frazier and Jeff Dahl, represented by Steve Riden, have submitted an application to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for a minor subdivision of Lots 8, 9, and 10, Bighorn Subdivision, Second Addition. The request is for the reconfiguration of the property lines shared by these three lots. Currently, Lot 8 is 0.87 Acres in size, Lot 9 is 0.34 Acres in size, and Lot 10 is 0.30 Acres in size. With a resubdivision of these lots, Lot 8 would be 0.825 Acres in size, Lot 9 would be 0.372 Acres in size, and Lot 10 would be 0.367 Acres in size. The total area under consideration is 1.56 Acres. There are currently no development proposals for any of the lots. However, staff anticipates that these would be forthcoming if the minor subdivision is approved. The applicant, Gary Weiss, represented by Steve Riden, has submitted an application to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for a minor subdivision of Lots 11 and 12, Bighorn Subdivision, Second Addition. The request is for these two lots to be consolidated. Currently, Lot 11 is 2.23 Acres in size and Lot 12 is 0.71 Acres in size. The total area under consideration is 2.94 Acres. The creation of a single lot would be accomplished by vacating the existing property line between Lots 11 and 12. In conjunction with the minor subdivision request, the applicant is proposing to construct an addition to the existing single family residence located on Lot 12. BACKGROUND The Bighorn Subdivision, Second Addition was platted on July 22, 1963. The Board of County Commissioners of Eagle County approved the platting as the property was then under Eagle County jurisdiction. Lots 8-12 have remained in the current configuration since being platted. The Bighorn Subdivision, Second Addition was annexed into the Town of Vail pursuant to Ordinances 13 & 20, Series of 1974. The annexation became effective on November 5, 1974. Upon annexation into the Town of Vail, Lots 8-12 were zoned Two Family Primary/Secondary Residential. At the time of annexation, residential structures existed on Lots 9 & 12, and Lots 8, 10, & 11 were vacant. In 1976, the Town of Vail contracted with Arthur I. Mears to complete a Geologically Sensitive Areas Study. For purposes of the study, geologically sensitive areas were defined as snow avalanche, rock fall and debris flow. In response to the findings of Mr. Mears' study, the Town of Vail adopted Geologic Hazard Maps for snow avalanche, rock fall and debris flow as components of the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan. The maps were adopted by the Town in 1977. In 1978, the Town of Vail adopted Hazard Regulations. The purpose of the regulations is to help protect the inhabitants of the Town from dangers relating to development of flood plains, avalanche paths, steep slopes, and geologically sensitive areas; to regulate the use of land areas which may be geologically sensitive; and further to regulate development on steep slopes; to protect the economic and property values of the Town, to protect the aesthetic and recreational values and natural resources of the Town, which are sometimes associated with flood plains, avalanche areas and areas of geologic sensitivity and slopes; to minimize damage to public facilities and utilities and minimize the need for relief in cleanup operations; to give notice to the public of certain areas within the Town where flood plains, avalanche paths and areas of geologic sensitivity exist; and to promote the general public health, safety and welfare. In 1986, the Vail Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. Like the Geologic Hazard Maps, the Land Use Plan is a component of the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan. According to the Land Use Plan, Lots 8-12 are designated "low density residential". The purpose of the low-density residential designation is to provide sites for single-family detached homes and two-family dwelling units. Density of development with in this category would typically not exceed 3 structures per buildable acre. Also within this area would be private recreation facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, and club houses for the use of residents of the area. Institutional/public uses permitted would include churches, fire stations, and parks and open space related facilities. 2 In 1994, the Vail Town Council adopted the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan.. The objectives of the plan are: ¦ To identify citizen and visitor needs and preferences for a comprehensive system of open space uses such as parks, recreation, protection of environmental resources, trails, and to reserve lands for public use; • To prioritize available open lands for acquisition or protection; ¦ To identify creative strategies to implement the acquisition and protection program; • To define a management system to appropriately manage Town-owned open space lands, and; • To buffer neighborhoods with open space. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is an action-oriented plan that identifies specific parcels of land that require some kind of action either for protection of sensitive lands, for trail easements, or for public use. In developing the plan, over 350 parcels were evaluated with 51 parcels on which actions were recommended. The recommendations were developed utilizing specific criteria to evaluate the areas of highest priority. Generally, areas received the highest priority if they met the stated objectives of the Town and its citizens and were an integral part of the open lands system. Within the 51 parcels, there are five priority areas made up of a number of recommended actions. These priorities are: ¦ Protect sensitive natural habitat areas, riparian areas, and hazard areas; ¦ Extend the Vail Trail to East Vail and add several trailheads to access the trail; ¦ Add a new trail on the north side and western half of Town to connect existing trailheads and neighborhoods; ¦ Add three "trailheads" in the core areas to access Vail Mountain trails and inform visitors of trail opportunities and provide better access to Gore Creek; • Add bike lanes to the north and south frontage roads and add paved shoulders to Vail Valley Drive. To date, the Town of Vail has taken action on at least 41 of the 51 parcels identified for action in the Plan. This most recently includes Lot 16 of Bighorn Subdivision, 2nd Addition. The Action Plan and Priority Plan of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies Lots 8, 10, and 11, Bighorn Subdivision, Second Addition as "Parcel 40" for implementation purposes. Parcel 40 is classified as a "High Priority". The high priority classification is based upon the Town's desire to acquire both the development rights and trail easements for the proposed South Trail extension. However, in September of 1999, Town staff worked with a former U.S. Forest Service trail construction supervisor to determine the feasibility of constructing the South Trail from the East Vail water tank to Mill Creek and the Vail ski area. As a result of this study, the following problematic issues were determined: ¦ Cliffbands and steep grades along the proposed route make access to the trail from most East Vail neighborhoods difficult and/or dangerous. Access points along the trail would be limited to the East Vail water tank and portions of the Vail Trail adjacent to Golden Peak. ¦ The pending White River National Forest Management Plan revisions change management direction in the area from "Backcountry Recreation, Non-Motorized" to "Forest Carnivore." Therefore, the U.S. Forest Service may not permit the construction of a new recreation trail under this de$ignation. The plan also notes that Parcel 40 is located in a geologically sensitive area. Strategies for protecting Parcel 40 include purchasing the development rights, and/or acquiring an access easement through the parcel. As a high priority classification, Parcel 40 meets both Level One and Level Two Evaluation criteria. Level One Evaluation focuses on meeting community needs relating to the natural resource system, the recreation system, trails system, and reserving lands for future civic/public uses. Level Two Evaluation focuses on the availability of the parcel utilizing criteria such as the threat of development or irreversible damage, opportunities to leverage other funds, cost, unusual opportunity with a motivated seller, 3 i 3 opportunity for trade with the USFS, low management requirements on the Town of Vail and low liability to the Town. The Town of Vail Zoning Code prescribes the land development regulations for development within the Town. The following code sections are particularly relevant to the evaluation of the applicants' proposals: ¦ Chapter 6 - Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential • Chapter 21- Hazard Regulations The purpose statement of Chapter 6 (Article D. Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential, (PS) District) states: "The Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential District is intended to provide sites for single-family residential uses or two-family residential uses in which one unit is a larger primary residence and the second unit is a smaller caretaker apartment, together with such public facilities as may approperiate/y be located in the same district. The Two- Family Primary/Secondary Residential District is intended to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with single-family and two- family occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of such sites by establishing appropriate site development standards." To date, there are no structures on Lots 8, 10, or 11. This is due to the prevalence of geologic hazards on these lots including avalanche and rockfall (see Figures 6 & 7 attached). Development has been proposed on Lot 11 in the past. However, due to the difficulties presented by geological hazards and steep slopes, development has never occurred on the site. There are three geologic hazard analysis reports in the legal file for Lot 11. Each report identifies geologic hazards on the site including high severity rock fall, debris flow, and snow avalanche. There are varying opinions as to whether Lot 11 is located in a moderate or high hazard avalanche area. However, in a recent study of Lots 8, 10, & 12, Arthur Mears identifies an area of Red Hazard avalanche that clearly impacts Lot 11. Figures 6 & 7 have been attached for reference. All three of the reports suggest possible and potential hazard mitigation measures; earth-built structures, locational siting of the structure, boulder barriers, a rear concrete foundation wall protruding at least six feet above finished grade and "splitting wedges". However, no construction is permitted in a Red Hazard Avalanche area so these building techniques would not be applicable. According to the Hazard Regulations (Section 12-21-10): A. No structure shall be built in any flood hazard zone or red avalanche hazard areas. No structure shall be built on a slope of forty percent or greater except in Single-Family Residential, Two-Family Residential, or Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential Zone Districts. The term "structure" as used in this Section does not include recreational structures that are intended for seasonal use, not including residential use. B. Structures may be built in blue avalanche hazard areas provided that proper mitigating measures have been taken. C. The Administrator may require any applicant or person desiring to build in an avalanche hazard zone of influence to submit a definitive study of the hazard area in which the applicant proposes to build if the Town's master hazard plan does not contain sufficient information to determine if the proposed location is in a red hazard or blue hazard area. The requirement for additional information and study shall be done in accordance with Chapter 12 of this Title. D. The Administrator may require any applicant or person desiring to build in an identified blue avalanche hazard zone to submit additional information or reports as to whether or not improvements are required to mitigate against the possible hazard. If mitigation is required, said information and report should specify the improvements proposed therefore. The required information and reports shall be done in accordance with Chapter 12 of this Title. 4 III.

CONSENT AGENDA Approval of June 5 and 19th evening minutes. 3. Meadow Drive Streetscape Update. (30 min.) Todd Oppenheimer Joe Kracum ITEM/TOPIC: Meadow Drive Streetscape project: • Recommendation of preferred design alternative for Meadow Drive Streetscape project. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: • Selection of preferred design alternative for West Meadow Drive. • Selection of preferred design alternative for Vail Road/Meadow Drive intersection. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: At the April 17, 2001 council meeting staff presented 2 conceptual design alternatives for the Meadow Drive Streetscape project, the 20/6 Solution and the Promenade Solution. Council favored the Promenade Solution and requested further study of possible configurations. The results of that study are to be presented. In addition, staff wishes to present alternatives for the Vail Road/Meadow Drive intersection, and provide the council with information regarding encroachments into the right-of-way, impacts to Mayor's Park, utilities, and construction schedule. Please see the attached presentation packet for detailed information. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: • Direct staff to complete final design development on the preferred design alternatives and proceed through the approval process. 4. Red Sandstone Athletic Field Costs. (20 min.) Gregg Barrie Karen Strakbein ITEM/TOPIC: Presentation of the final design for the Red Sandstone Elementary School Athletic Field Project. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: 1. A request for approval to begin construction on the Red Sandstone Elementary School Athletic Field Project. 2. Approve a budget increase for the project. 3. Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of Vail, the Eagle County School District, and the Vail Recreation District. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board have approved the conditional use permit and design for the Red Sandstone Athletic Field. However, due to unforeseen geotechnical concerns on this site, construction techniques will be required that increase the overall cost of the project. These techniques have been outlined in a report prepared by a geotechnical engineer. Per the Town Charter, all contracts in excess of $50,000 require approval by the Town Council. Please see the staff memorandum for additional information. The IGA outlines the cost sharing between the Town of Vail and the School District, the maintenance requirements for the VRD, and the use agreements between the three entities. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council approve the request to begin construction on the Red Sandstone Athletic Field and approve the final budget as outlined in the staff memorandum. Staff also recommends approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement. 5. Town Manager's Report. (5 min.) Bob McLaurin 6. Adjournment 8:05 P.M.

Members present: Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-Tern Diana Donovan Kevin Foley Greg Moffet Absent: Chuck Ogilby Rod Slifer Staff Present Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, Asst. Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney The first act of the Vail Town Council was to sit as the Vail Local Housing Authority. As doing such, the Authority elected five (5) appointees to the Vail Housing Authority. Mayor Kurz commented on the ten highly qualified applicants, stating that only five of these applicants could be appointed according to state statute. Kurz stated he hoped the others would remain interested in serving on a town board in the future. At that point a vote was taken and the following applicants received the highest number of votes: Sally Jackie Mark Ristow Steve Lindstrom Kim Ruoloto Chuck Ogilby (Council representative) Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to recommend the above five names for appointment to the local housing authority. Councilmember Sybill Navas seconded the motion. Mayor Kurz stated the terms of office would be established at an up-coming meeting. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. The Council then returned to the regular evening session sitting as the Vail Town Council. The first item on the agenda was citizen participation. Mayor Kurz asked that the audience keep their comments short and to the point. Bob Armour, former Vail Mayor and local resident, thanked Suzanne Silverthorn for her department's continued work on the Internet website, as well as providing an e-mail information service to subscribers, calling it a great asset. Armour then thanked Tom Moorhead, outgoing r Town of Vail attorney, for his work over the past 8 years, commending his service and dedication to the benefit of the Town of Vail. Next, Paul Rondeau, Vail resident, presented a series of alternative financing sources for the Vail Center to the Council, to be considered in addition to property tax increases. Rondeau referenced Vail Tomorrow, where the idea of a hub site had originated. Rondeau called his concept "EPIC" - Everyone Participates in Contributing. Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners Association, stated his interest in pursuing Rondeau's proposal of alternative financing for the Vail Center. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. Approval of May 1, 2001, minutes Approval of May 15 , 2001, minutes Ordinance Ordinance #11, Series of 2001, Electric Carts, 2"d reading Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to approve the minutes from the May 1 and May 15, 2001, Council meeting with corrections noted at the worksession. Councilmember Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passes unanimously, 5-0. Councilmember Greg Moffet then made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2001, on second reading. Councilmember Sybill Navas seconded the motion. Councilmember Diana Donovan recommended two amendments relating to modifying the ordinance to allow town regulation of the number of carts used in Ford Park, as well as broadening the definition of prohibited uses. Councilmember Moffet amended his motion to include Donovan's recommendations. Councilmember Navas amended her second. A vote was taken on the motion, and passed unanimously, 5-0. The third item on the agenda was the discussion of the Meadow Drive Streetscape project: Todd Oppenheimer, Town Landscape Architect/Capital Projects Manager, reviewed the alternatives for the West Meadow Drive design. It was suggested that additional meetings and presentations be made over the Fourth of July holiday to encourage home owners to review the conceptual designs being offered for this area. Also discussed were right-of-way issues and the construction schedule. Two solutions were presented to the Council for review, one being the 20/6 Solution, providing for a 20-foot landscaped pedestrian area on the north side of West Meadow Drive and a six-foot sidewalk on the south side, with two lanes for traffic and transit. The "Promenade" solution called for a landscaped area between Chateau Vail and the Vail Road intersection of Vail Road with a modified round-about proposed for the intersection of Vail Road and West Meadow Drive. Joe Kracum of Washington Infrastructure Services reviewed the construction schedule as well as information regarding encroachments into the right-of-ways, access to the Talisman property, impacts to Mayor' s Park, and utility work. Kracum stated that if approvals from the Planning and Environmental r Commission, Design Review Board and Art in Public Places were all received by October, work could commence in the spring of 2002. Mayor Kurz inquired as to whether there was a strong favorite amongst the neighborhood at the present time. Todd Oppenheimer responded, stating there was no clear favorite at this time. Dominic Mauriello, representing the Vail Valley Medical Center and the Sonnenalp Hotel, expressed his clients' interest in entering their locations from West Meadow Drive. Public comment was received regarding the idea of a round-about and the effect it would have on emergency vehicles getting on the road and getting in and out of private residences. Mayor Kurz asked for comments from the Council. It was a general consensus from the Council that the round-about would not serve a need. Council requested Kracum and staff to stake out the conceptual plan for the area, and have it ready for the Fourth of July weekend. Councilmember Navas suggested a joint meeting with the Design Review Board. Mayor Kurz again expressed his appreciation of the work of Joe Kreihm and his staff, stating the town had worked with his company in the past and always had pleasing results, calling his coordination of projects exemplary. The fourth item on the agenda was the First Reading of Ordinance 2, Series of 2001, an ordinance creating two new chapters within the Subdivision Regulations: Chapter 12 - Exemption Plat Review Procedures and Chapter 13 -Administrative Plat Correction Procedures. Brent Wilson, town planner, introduced the ordinance to the Council, stating the ordinance had been discussed briefly earlier in the afternoon, and no changes had been made to ordinance from that time. The chapters, intended to address the need to file plats for single pieces of property and to provide plat correction procedures, retain all public notifications required by the town code. Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to approve on first reading. Councilmember Sybill Navas seconded the motion. Councilmember Diana Donovan thanked Brent for clarifying the questions she had on this subject. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. The fifth item on the agenda was the first reading of ordinance #12, Series of 2001, Curfew and Special Events Ordinance. Scott Jansen, Vail Police Officer, presented the ordinance to the Council, responding to the Council's request for staff to put together an ordinance to control Fourth of July and New Year's Eve celebrations in Vail. Tom Moorhead, town attorney, stated the proposed curfews were a result of citizens' and law enforcement's concerns as to safety of the public, as well as potential for disaster in Vail Village. Moorhead stated the ordinance met the strong criteria, appropriate interests to protect children and the public, and would be upheld by the courts. Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners Association, suggested the public should be given the opportunity to view the tape, stating this was more of a public safety issue than not wanting a certain class of people in Vail. Joe Joyce, homeowner in Matterhorn, expressed his support of the ordinance, but felt concerned that the town may be going too far, as the articles in the Denver Post were sending the wrong message. Joyce suggested starting with a curfew, and not going far beyond that for now. r Kaye Ferry, Vail Chamber, stated she had seen tape, and agreed that everyone wanted safety, but felt the town should be taking smaller steps. Ferry stated she preferred staying with the 17-year-old curfew and to review it after the Fourth of July to see what the results were. Mayor Kurz stated that Councilmember Rod Slifer called in to reiterate his strong sense of protecting the public during celebrations of this kind. Gwen Scalpello, private citizen, stated she had talked with participants after last New Year's Eve, and the reaction was that they were very afraid and had a bad impression of Vail. Councilmember Sybill Navas stated she had spoken to some young people in town on New Year's Eve as well, and they went home terrified. Navas stated this was not the atmosphere Vail wants on a holiday, and although she does not like the concept of a curfew, it is a public safety issue. There are too many people and even with a large number of police officers, it will be unenforceable if the same number of people are in the core. Kerry Donovan addressed the Council stating this ordinance was not going to solve the real problem of young people having a place to go - and that it would not keep the kids home, but rather send them elsewhere to celebrate, creating more unsafe areas. Greg Morrison, police chief, stated he knew the town would get criticized for this action, but anyone having seen the New Year's Eve tape would realize a solution needs to be found to the problem. After much discussion, Councilmember Greg Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance #12 on first reading. Councilmember Sybili Navas seconded the motion Councilmember Donovan stated she supported the curfew, but could not support the 21-year-olds not being allowed to go into the Village. A show of hands in favor of the ordinance showed Councilmembers Moffet, Kurz and Navas in favor, with Councilmembers Donovan and Foley opposed. Per Town Attorney Moorhead, the motion needed a majority of 4 votes to pass, or a majority of the sitting Council, so the motion was defeated. The sixth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance #13, Series of 2001, Open Container Ordinance. Councilmember Greg Moffet moved to approve Ordinance #13 on first reading. Councilmember Sybill Navas seconded the motion. Scott Jansen, Vail Police Department, stated this ordinance would expand the town's closed container boundary provision to include the Vail Village.

Much discussion followed regarding the project. Town Manager McLaurin stated that a meeting involving the arts community had been held by Horan- Kates as to what should be included in this component. McLaurin also stated that as of the previous Friday, the demolition and rebuilding of the new parking structure was more costly and problematic than previously anticipated and would need to be reconfigured. McLaurin stated the purpose of the meeting was to determine what the Vail Center meant to each Councilmember. The proposed plan was broken down into two phases depending on their priority. Horan-Kates presented a chart of project components, including a recreation center component, an arts center with a 1300 seat theatre, a conference and learning center and two breakout rooms. Horan-Kates stated it would take about $33 million to build the first phase, with the learning center to be built in the second phase. Mayor Kurz then asked for comments from the public. Kurz asked that comments be short and to the point. Jen Brown, representing the Vail Valley Chamber, stated a convention center was vital to the business community. Brown stated she supported the town's efforts, but did not care to comment on the other amenities. John Zoner, Vail resident, question the economics of raising $1.5 million from property tax. Flo Steinberg stated she thought this was the most confusing thing she has experienced in Vail, feeling the town was spending a lot of money and going into deep debt over something that was not clearly defined.

Kurz stated he felt the need to go ahead with a development that is in keeping with Vail, something that will put Vail back on track. Kurz stated the town needed to address the fact that Vail was somewhat behind and Vail cannot continue to depend on the ski mountain to sustain the economy. Kurz urged the Council to keep looking at the Vail Center as positive for the community. Town Manager Bob McLaurin addressed the Council, stating that if this project was easy to implement, it would be done by now. McLaurin reminded the Council of all the meetings and public input that took place before the main Vail roundabout was implemented and the Vail Commons was built. McLaurin stated that this Council and previous Councils had faced many obstacles and concerned citizens, but both projects had proved successful in the long run. Councilmembers Chuck Ogilby, Rod Slifer and Greg Moffet felt an additional month re-evaluating the project had been beneficial and were ready to vote on the components of the Center. Councilmember Rod Slifer stated for the record he had never heard a town manager applauded in a Council meeting before.

Brent Wilson, town planner, stated this meeting was a follow-up to the Town Council's preliminary review of the proposal on May 15th. Wilson stated that since the previous council review, the issues of traffic circulation, employee storage and traffic counts had been resolved to the satisfaction of staff. Tim Losa of Zehren and Associates, r stated three issues were addressed. Those being: traffic, streetscape issues and public benefits offered by the hotel. Bill Pierce, an architect representing Lon Moellentine- owner of the Alpine Standard service station located in front of the Vail Plaza Hotel, stating that issues regarding ingress and egress to the hotel had not been resolved and recommended postponement of the project until these issues were settled. Councilmember Greg Moffet questioned the egress easement on Vail Road. Moffet was advised the easement was not on town land but is on a portion of Chateau property. Moffet stated the town was being asked to resolve the easement dispute. Discussion was held regarding access and easement issues with adjacent property owners. Jim Lamont of the Vail Village Homeowners Association suggested adding an expanded loading and delivery component as a condition of approval, as well as an underground connection between the Vail Plaza Hotel and the Vail Village Inn, as both properties are owned by the same person. Richard Kent, representing the Scorpio and Alphorn condominium associations, encouraged the council to vote against the proposal, feeling there was too much bulk and mass in the project. Rick Scalpello, residing at Nine Vail Road, expressed access and indemnification concerns and urged the Council to direct the applicant to implement a streetscape plan, as it ties into the proposed West Meadow Drive plan. After further discussion, Councilmember Greg Moffet moved to approve Ordinance #14 on first reading, with conditions as outlined above. Councilmember Rod Slifer seconded the motion. Councilmember Diana Donovan stated she would be voting against the motion as she felt PA zoning to rezone to SDD did not meet the regulations of TOV. Bill Pierce asked for a clarification of the motion changing the condition of easement submittal from "Temporary Certificate of Occupancy" to "building permit submittal." Acting Town Attorney Allen stated he would address that and bring to Council on second reading. A vote was taken on the motion and the motion passed 4-1, Councilmember Donovan opposing. The sixth item on the agenda was the second reading of Ordinance #12, Curfew and Special Events. Mayor Kurz stated the ordinance had been approved on first reading, wth the elimination of the special event district. Councilmember Donovan noted the words "special event district" should be removed from the title of the ordinance. Councilmember Rod Slifer stated he was not here for first reading and felt it was important to include the special event district of the ordinance. Councilmember Donovan stated 18-20 year olds should not be restricted from the area. Slifer stated he felt the problem was alcohol and that age group was not old enough to drink and were becoming a major problem. Mayor Kurz stated he believed the police handle the new ruling in a professional and constrained manner. t Police Chief Greg Morrison stated his department planned to handle the crowds in much the same way as the StreetBeats were handled, with use of ID bands. Morrison stated checkpoints would be set up while the fireworks were being displayed, and that no one under age of 21 will be allowed back in to the designated area. Councilmember Rod Slifer then made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 12 on second reading, with the insertion of the Section 6.5.3 Special Event District added back into the ordinance Councilmember Greg Moffet seconded the motion. Councilmember Donovan stated she felt it was illegal to completely change the ordinance from first reading. Donovan was advised by attorney Christensen that according to the town Charter, it was legal to add the section back into the ordinance on second reading. Kaye Ferry, Vail Chamber and Business Association president, addressed the Council, stating she was very angry and upset with them, feeling they were conducting business in an underhanded fashion. Councilmember Slifer responded by saying he was voting for what he believed was fair and this was the purpose of two readings to pass an ordinance. Councilmember Chuck Ogilby also stated he was voting for what he believed was right. Michael Cacioppo questioned the Council's ability to approve the ordinance in regard to a provision that allowed people to exercise their right of free assembly. Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners Association, expressed concern of where the people might go when not able to get into the special events area. Police Chief Morrison assured Lamont that this was part of the plan for these two evenings. Chris Schuck, owner of a local security business, addressed the Council, stating he had been involved in many of these events and that it was a dangerous situation and something needed to be done to prevent a dangerous situation. Jonathan Staufer, a,life-time resident of Vail, agreed with remarks made by Kaye Ferry, stating that the message going out was that 18 and 20 year olds were no longer welcome in Vail. Staufer stated this age group would be wandering around looking for trouble. Judge Buck Allen stated the crowds in Vail have become more aggressive in recent years. Allen referred to an article in the Denver Post regarding the scope of alcohol consumed by kids after the Avalanche hockey victory. Allen stated he felt parents were not aware of the scope of activities of this age group and had little supervision. Allen stated he saw approximately 150-200 offenders after these two holidays.

Respectfully submitted, Ludwig Kurz, Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk Minutes taken by Mary A. Caster GWashington Infrastructure Services, Inc MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council DATE: July 17, 2001 RE: Meadow Drive Streetscape Improvement Project During the week of July 2, 2001, the Project Team conducted several personal, on-site meetings with local residents and homeowner association representatives, and held a public open house at the Vail Public Library on July 5. The 20/6 Solution was favored by 55 percent of those expressing an opinion, versus 45 percent for the Promenade Options, which corresponds to the Team's preference for the options investigated. A conceptual drawing of the favored option is attached to this memorandum. There were no fatal flaws discovered during discussions with residents and representatives. Discussions included landscaping issues and utility locations, as well as presentation of the options. Many of the concerns expressed regarding the Promenade Options had to do with pedestrian safety and crossing traffic, as well as routing of traffic closer to residential buildings on the north side of West Meadow Drive. The ideas and concerns brought.forward during the discussions and the open house will be incorporated once the concept is advanced into preliminary design. It appears that there is enough flexibility in the conceptual design to address the vast majority of the issues raised. It is recommended that the 20/6 Solution be designated as the preferred option by the Vail Town Council. It is further recommended that the 20/6 Solution be reviewed with the DRB, PEC, and AIPP during their regularly scheduled August/September meetings, and once the overall concept is acceptable, be advanced into preliminary design. Cost estimating and scheduling would occur during the preliminary design of the project.

Applicant: Town of Vail Project Manager: Gregg Barrie Planner: Allison Ochs The proposed Red Sandstone Elementary School Athletic Field creates a turf area adjacent to the school approximately .9 acres in size. It is designed with two play areas. The smaller area located close to the school allows quick access to turf during the shorter 15 minute recess periods, while the large portion of the field to the west allows for organized activities such as kick ball, t-ball, and soccer. While further from the school, this larger field is for use during longer physical education classes. The design proposes the installation of a chain link fence along the southern edge of the field as well as an access path that is to be constructed from the lower playground. In addition, an aggressive revegetation program will help cover exposed cut and fill slopes quickly, and provide vegetative screening of the fence from the south. The proposed revegetation should help to reestablish existing plant materials within a 3 to 5 year period. The Planning and Environmental Commission approved the conditional use permit for the Red Sandstone Athletic field at their June 25, 2001, meeting. The approval carried the following conditions: 1. That a gate will be provided on the west/southwest corner of the field. 2. That staff will consider and explore the possibility of a boulder wall to create a berm for the fence. 3. That amplified sound will only be allowed as part of school activities. 4. That the school is considered the primary user; the Town is secondary: and the Vail Recreation District is third. This shall be indicated in any agreement regarding the field. The Design Review Board approved the design for the field at the May 14, 2001, meeting. Their approval carried no conditions. During preliminary site analysis, it was found that the slopes to the north of the proposed field contained several seeps and springs. After further study of the site, a geotechnical study was deemed necessary in order to A) determine the potential effects of the groundwater on the proposed field, and B) determine the effects of the existing topography and geology on the proposed field. In brief, the study determined that A) the ground water should have little effect on the field but should be monitored during construction, and B) that all fill material must be placed on horizontal benches cut into the existing topography. These required benches increase the amount of cut and fill by more than 50%. In addition, the benches require relocation of existing utilities not originally slated for relocation. These items increase the overall cost of the project from the original cost estimates. The overall cost of this project is estimated to be $375,000. This figure is taken from proposals submitted by contractors for the work, and includes expenses already incurred such as engineering and survey fees. This figure also includes a contingency for any drainage structures that may be required due to ground water. An Inter-Governmental Agreement between the Town of Vail, Eagle County School District, and the Vail Recreation District calls for the cost of construction for the field to be split between the Town and the School District. However, the Town will pay for all construction costs until the completion of the project, at which time the School District will reimburse one half of that cost to the Town. After completion, the field will be maintained by the Recreation District. A copy of the agreement is attached.

In that memo I indicated our intention was to move forward with financing of the pavilion through the use of Certificates of Participation. At the Council Meeting Tuesday, the Council asked us to re-evaluate our strategy given the uncertain economic conditions nationally. We will be prepared on July 24th to review the complete list of capital projects and discuss alternatives for implementing the Capital Projects program in a manner as efficient and effective as possible. In a related item on the Donovan Park Pavilion, we have interviewed three contractors to build this project. As you recall, the Council authorized us to proceed under a designed bill scenario. The interviews were held on Thursday, July 12th. We will be presenting our recommendation to the Council on July 24th. This will occur in the afternoon Work Session and we will be asking the Council to authorize the Town Manager enter into an agreement with one of these three contractors. TOWN OF VAIL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING As part of the Town of Vail's mission of providing environmentally sensitive services, the Town Manager has asked the Partnership for Environmental Education & Programs to develop a proposal for monitoring environmental quality within the Town Government. Critical indicators would include electrical and natural gas, water, petroleum, hazardous materials, and solid waste. This monitoring program could be expanded to also include community wide indicators such as air quality, water quality, and community wide utility usage. This program would be similar to the Vail Resorts monitoring program and would allow the Town and the Company to evaluate and communicate environmental indicators jointly. Russ Forrest is working on the implementation of this contract with PEEP.

We have appreciated the opportunity to provide input and comment on the Town's streetscape planning effort for Meadow Drive and have the highest regard for the streetscape planning team. The plan reflects a high degree of hard work and creativity. However, as we stated in our letter to you its April., we are concerned that the plan makes no provision for vehicular access to the Talisman from Meadow Drive. Wile there may not be a need for such access to Meadow Drive at this time and while this streetscape plan represents the Town's "preferred" alternative, we believe there should be some provision for access developed now in the event the Talisman must use its legal access to Meadow Drive in the future. We believe it would be short sighted to ignore the poteiatial. need (or legal right) for this access and to essentially land lock the Talisman },LVNerty. We ask that the Town make provisions for such access in the master plan as another alternative if the Talisman requires use of its access. 1 have attached our previous letter in this regard for your .blfonnation. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Tom Braun or myself at 926-7575. Sin .1 , Domim F.

PLANNING and GOMMUNIIY DEVELOPMENT April 24, 2041 Mayor Ludwig Kurz and Towle Council Members 'own, of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re: last Meadow Drive Streetscape Flans Dear Council Members: Braun Associates, Inc. r,-r.aents the owner of the Sonnenalp property who is currently working with the Talisman Condominium Association on a redevelopment plan for the Sonnenalp property located on East Meadow Drive. We are excited that the Town has decided to redevelop the streetscape along Meadow Drive and are pleased that the timing of the Town's project may coincide well with the redevelopment plans for the Sonnenalp. We have been regular participants with the Town's streetscape improvement process for this area and are pleased with the creativeness and professional,isir of the design team, In reviewing the plans at your public hearing we noticed that there was no provision for access to the Talisman's property from East Meadow Drive. It is understandable that given that the Talisman, does not have vehicular access from East Meadow Drive today (there is a Fire Department access) that one might overlook this access need. The Talisman and the Sonnenalp bave a private arrangement to allow the Talisman to access its parking area through the Sonnenalp property, however, this is a temporary arrangement that could change. The Talisman was the first structure developed on, the south side of East Meadow Drive in this location. Tt was developed in 1969 and platted in 1970. The plat indicates a "land locked" Talisman parcel with an access easement connecting the Talisman parcel to East Meadow Drive. Tlu.s easement represents the Talisman's only legal access to a public street. Given these conditions, it is imperative that the Town's streetscapc designs reflect the eventuality of the Talisman uti li7.iug their legal access to East Meadow Drive. We believe that the access can be developed in such a way that the impacts to this pedestrian and transit way are minimal and in any case, no worse than the designs affecting the access to the Holiday House or Vi I la Cortina. Over the past months we have shared a number of such design concepts with your design team.
