Allison Ochs ITEM/TOPIC: Appeal of the October 3, 2001, Design Review Board decision to deny a proposed repaint at the Vail Gateway, located at 12 Vail Road/Lot N, Block 5D, Vail Village 1st Filing.- (30 min.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold, uphold with conditions, or overturn the Design Review Board to deny the proposed repaint at the Vail Gateway. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On September 19, 2001, Stoltz Management of Pennsylvania, representing Mountain Owners, LP, was notified by Town of Vail staff that the Vail Gateway had not received approval from the Town to re-paint the building. The applicant submitted an application for Design Review to paint the Vail Gateway on September 27, 2001. On October 3, 2001, the Design Review Board voted 4-0 (Blumetti recused) to deny the proposed repaint at the Vail Gateway, with the finding that: "Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings." On October 9, 2001, the applicant submitted an appeal of the Design Review Board decision. Please refer to the staff memorandum for additional information. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Town Council uphold the Design Review Board's decision to deny the proposed repaint of the Vail Gateway, located at 12 Vail Road / Lot N, Block 5D, Vail Village 1st Filing. 2. Russ Forrest ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution #9, Series of 2001: Proposed Fee Schedule for Development Review. (30 min.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Motion to approve, approve with modifications, or deny Resolution #9, Series of 2001 related to proposed new planning fee schedule and rebate for environmental certification BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On September 18, 2001 staff asked Council whether development e review fees should reflect the cost of providing those services. At that meeting the Town Council directed staff to develop a proposed fee structure that more accurately reflected the true cost of providing those services. The purpose of this meeting is for the Council to provide direction on a proposed fee structure. In addition, staff will review comments provided from the design and construction community regarding these proposed changes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is requesting approval of the proposed planning fee structure. 3. ITEMITOPIC: Vail Bike Taxi Discussion. (15 min.) Adam Palmer 4. Brent Wilson ITEM/TOPIC: First Reading Of Ordinance No. 31, Series Of 2001 - An Ordinance Amending Title 11, (Sign Regulations), Title 12 (Zoning Regulations), Title 13 (Subdivision Regulations), And Title 14 (Development Standards), Vail Town Code, To Allow For Corrections and/or Updates To The Vail Town Code, And Setting Forth Details In Regard Thereto. (15 min.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 31, Series of 2001, on first reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Over time, problems arise with specific code sections that are not clear to development review applicants. This often occurs with zoning code amendments, changes in procedures, or errors in codification. Therefore, staff periodically returns to the Planning and Environmental Commission and to the Town Council to "clean- up" the Zoning Regulations, Subdivision Regulations, Development Standards and Sign Codes. These amendments are not designed to amend the substantive content of the code, but to " clean-up" errors and clarify sections of the code. None of the proposed amendments result in a change of policy. The Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed text amendments at its August 27th, 2001, meeting. The proposed amendments to the Town Code are described in detail in the staff memorandum. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department recommends the Town Council approve Ordinance No. 31, Series of 2001, on first reading. 5. ITEMITOPIC: Salt Lake Torch Relay Event Request for Funding. (15 min.)

Those groups participating have been: Vail Valley J Foundation, Vail Valley Tourist and Convention Bureau, the Vail Chamber and Business Association, Vail Resorts, Inc., Resort Entertainment, and town staff. Council previously approved a budget of $7,300 for associated flags and pennants, and at this time, the committee is requesting an additional $25,000 to provide key event elements. It should be noted through the materials provided that the Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC) is also providing a formidable package, including Big Mo, Chevy and Coca Cola hospitality tents, Pfizer Mobile Health Center, Celebration Stage, Video Wall, Interactive Motor Home, and so on (a venue map is also attached). The stopover in Vail is scheduled for Friday, February 1, 2002, and should provide national and state exposure, as well as up-close opportunity for local participation. The route for the torch will begin at the West Vail Conoco and proceed along South Frontage Road to Vail Road to the intersection of West Meadow Drive. From there, the torchbearers and procession will head west to LionsHead, where the torch will be moved up the mountain by snowshoers, cross east over to Pepi's face, and then down the mountain to the Vista Bahn and Bridge Street. The final lighting of the cauldron will occur at the belvediere in front of the Ski Museum. The committee is currently contacting youth groups from through the community (boy and girl scouts, Ski Club Vail, Vail Jr. Hockey, the ice skating club, the schools, etc.) to line the route and to "adopt a road" sections. This event will occur eight days prior to the Olympic kick off. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the request for funding. 6.

Appellant: Mountainaire Properties, Inc., representing Mountain Owners L.P. Applicant: Mountainaire Properties, Inc., representing Mountain Owners L.P. Planner: Allison Ochs 1. SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property is the Vail Gateway, located at 12 Vail Road/Lot N, Block 5D, Vail Village 1 sc Filing. II. STANDING OF APPELLANT The appellant has standing to file an appeal as the owner of the Vail Gateway. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST On September 19, 2001, Stoltz Management of Pennsylvania, representing Mountain Owners, LP, was notified by Town of Vail staff that the Vail Gateway had not received approval from the Town of Vail to re-paint the building. In- accordance with Chapter 12- 11-3: Design Approval: A. Scope: No person shall commence removal of vegetation, site preparation, building construction or demolition, dumping of material upon a site, sign erection, exterior alteration or enlargement of an existing structure, paving, fencing or other improvements of open space within the corporate limits of the Town unless design approval has been granted as prescribed in this Chapter. The addition of pant materials to existing landscaping, gardening and landscape maintenance shall be exempt from this provision. B. Violation: It shall be a violation of this Chapter and the building permit for any person to commence, continue or complete work that has not received design approval as prescribed in this Chapter and/or is not in conformity with the plans approved and authorized by the Administrator and/or the Design Review Board and the Building Official. TOWN *1L 1 The applicant submitted an application for Design Review to paint the Vail Gateway on September 27, 2001. The applicant's proposal to repaint the building included using yellow for the main color of the building; maintaining the black fascia and soffit; and maintaining the green window trim color. In addition, the applicant proposed to replace . , the lattice which had been removed; to remove the canvas awnings; to paint the metal awnings green, and to introduce a gray color for some of the building's elements to break up the large yellow expanses. The applicant appeared before the Design Review Board on October 3, 2001. The Design Review Board voted 4-0 (Blumetti recused) to deny the proposed repaint at the Vail Gateway, with the finding that: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. In denying the application, the Design Review Board stated that they did not believe the bright yellow color of the building was compatible with the existing stone on the building. Pursuant to the Design Guidelines, the Design Review Board stated that bright colors should be used only to accentuate architectural details of the Vail Gateway. The Board further recommended that the applicant should introduce color changes to the building which would correspond to architectural changes on the building. The Design Review Board stated that the proposed bright yellow color is incompatible with the existing stone on the building and further recommended that the applicant choose a color from the stone for the color of the building, stating that the stone work is one of the most redeeming qualities of the architecture of the Vail Gateway. The Design Review Board stated that the yellow, as a primary color, is too bright for the building and the site. At such a visible location, the Design Review Board stated that this building is far too important to accept any deviations from the design guidelines. The Design Review Board recommended that, should the applicant choose to pursue a different color scheme, color changes be introduced to the building that would correspond to architectural changes on the building. The Design Review Board's decision to deny the application provided the applicant with three options: 1. Repaint the building to the previous color. 2. Submit an application for Design Review which complies with the Design Guidelines 3. Appeal the decision to the Town Council. On October 9, 2001, the applicant submitted an appeal of the Design Review Board decision. The applicant's letter regarding the appeal has been attached for reference. IV. BACKGROUND The Town of Vail has recognized the importance of design review, and has identified the following objectives of design review in Section 12-11-1: Intent, of the Town Code: 2 1. To recognize the interdependence of the public welfare and aesthetics, and to provide a method by which this interdependence may continue to benefit its citizens and visitors. 2. To allow for the development of public and private property which is in harmony with the desired character of the Town as defined by the guidelines herein provided. 3. To prevent the unnecessary destruction or blighting of the natural landscape. 4. To ensure that the architectural design, location, configuration materials, colors, and overall treatment of built-up and open spaces have been designed so that they relate harmoniously to the natural landforms and native vegetation, the Town's overall appearance, with surrounding development and with officially approved plans or guidelines, if any, for the areas in which the structures are proposed to be located. 5. To protect neighboring property owners and users by making sure that reasonable provision has been made for such matters as pedestrian and vehicular traffic, surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, the preservation of light and air, and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which. may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. According to 12-11-1.C of the Town Code: Therefore, in order to preserve the natural beauty of the Town and its setting, to .protect the welfare of the community, to maintain the values created in the community, to protect and enhance land and property, for the promotion of health, safety, and general welfare in the community, and to attain the objectives set out in this Section; the improvement or alteration of open space, exterior design of all new development, and all modifications to existing development shall be subject to design review. Specifically, with regards to exterior wall colors, the Town of Vail, has adopted, the following: Section 14-10-D: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. All exterior wall materials must be continued down to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls. All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and roof top mechanical equipment shall be anodized, painted or capable of weathering so as to be nonreflective. Staff believes that the proposed repaint of the Vail Gateway does not comply with the design guideline stated above. Yellow is considered a primary color, and the guideline states that primary or bright colors should be used only as accents on buildings. The color is incompatible with the site and surrounding buildings. 3 V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Town Council uphold the Design Review Board's denial of the proposed repaint of the Vail Gateway subject to the following finding: 1. That the proposed color change does not conform to the guidelines as established by Section 12-11-5 (Design Guidelines) of the Town Code and outlined in Section IV of this memorandum. Specifically, the proposed exterior wall color is not compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Should the Town Council choose to uphold the Design Review Board's denial of the proposed repaint of the Vail Gateway, staff recommends the following condition: 1. That the applicant repaint the building to the original color. The applicant shall complete the repaint prior to January 1, 2002. 4 Addendum to Attachment B To the Appeal Filed by Mountainaire Properties, Inc., agent for Mountain Owners L.P. In September of this year, Stoltz Management of Pennsylvania contracted with a local painting contractor to repaint the Gateway Building in Vail. We -selected colors through a process with the residential owners in the building and developed a color scheme based on input from these owners. The building was repainted accordingly. We were unaware that the Town of Vail requires a Design Review application to make such a color change. We wish now that we had understood the process as we could have avoided this unfortunate process. In September we were informed by the Town staff of the application process and that the Design Review Board was unhappy with our color selection. In an effort to gain approval after the fact, we made application for a repaint and based on input from the Town staff proposed additional color changes to the building. We proposed to re-install the lattice work on the east side of the building and paint the lattice and west wall a gray or other color to help "break-up" the wall. On October 3, 2001 we appeared before the Design Review Board with our revised color scheme. The Design Review Board was unsatisfied with the proposal and after lengthy discussion denied the re-paint proposal. We believe that the Design Review Board acted out of frustration due to the building being already painted and was not willing to take a reasonable action to resolve the issue. We also believe that we were in the process at a bad time, as there have been some other projects completed within the Town without the Design Review Board input that has acted to increase the frustration level of the Board. In essence, the Design Review Board's demand was that the applicant develop a new color scheme and repaint the building. This action will create a dramatic financial burden, as the cost to repaint this building will cost in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). We find that the Design Review Board acted in a harsh and overly burdensome manner. We believe the Design Review Board's direction is unreasonable given the circumstances. We believe that the color scheme proposed by us is consistent with the character of the area and colors on other buildings in the Vail area. We ask that the Town Council overturn the Design Review Board's decision and approve our repaint proposal as presented to, the Design Review Board. Attachment B It is our position that the decision to deny the application for the repaint at Vail Gateway was arbitrary and capricious and not supported by any evidence. Specific Code Section is: Town of Vail Municipal Code Chapter 12-11, Section 12-11-5 C.3 BA II ABIRA UIN ASSOCIATES, IINCo PLANNING and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM TO: George Ruther, Chief of Planning Design Review Board FROM: Dominic Mauriello DATE: October 1, 2001 RE: Vail Gateway Building - Exterior Color Options The current owners of the building, based out of Pennsylvania, were unaware of the Town's design guidelines with respect to changing exterior paint colors. They are very apologetic that the building was repainted without the DRB's approval and want to attempt to resolve issues with respect to the exterior colors. We hope that we can reach agreement with the DRB on the painting scheme. We would like to propose the following solutions, which were developed after meeting with Town staff. The owner would like to maintain the current yellow color of the building (subject to options I * 2). Additionally, they would like to maintain the fascia (black), soffit (black) and window trim (green) colors., as these were simply a repaint of the existing colors. The following additional modifications are proposed: Option I: • Remove all canvas awnings on building (these were not part of the original design and were added later) • Paint metal awnings over windows green to match the trim (this is the original color) • Leave all yellow as painted • Re-Install lattice on the east wall painted gray to match the dominate gray color of the slate tile on the building Edwards Village Center, Suite C-209 Ph. - 970.926.7575 0105 Edwards Village Boulevard Fax - 970.926.7576 Post Office Box 2658 www.braunassociates.com Edwards, Colorado 81632 Option 2: • Remove all canvas awnings on building (these were not part of the original design and were added later) • Paint metal awnings over windows green to match the trim (this is the original color) • Leave the majority of yellow on the building • Repaint the east wall up to the bottom of the deck a gray to match the dominate gray color of the slate the on the building • Re-Install lattice on the east wall painted gray to match the dominate gray color of the slate the on the budding Vail Gateway Building, Vail, Colorado Page 2 Braun Associates, Inc.

PURPOSE OF MEETING: The purpose of this hearing is to present an amended Development Review Fee Schedule for Design Review Board and Planning & Environmental Commission applications. To that end, staff has prepared Resolution No. 9, Series of 2001. The resolution outlines the new fee schedule and creates a new incentive to promote "green" building practices. If approved by the Town Council, the new development review fee schedule and incentive program would take effect on January 1, 2002. II. BACKGROUND On September 18, 2001, staff presented a draft fee schedule proposal to the Town Council. Please refer to the copy of the memorandum to the Vail Town Council dated September 18, 2001. The purpose of that worksession was to get Council's direction on whether development review fees should reflect the cost of providing those services. The outcome of that meeting was direction to prepare a proposed development review fee schedule that more closely reflects the actual labor and overhead cost of providing development review services. On October 16, 2001, staff presented a draft fee schedule proposal to the Town Council. In response to the information provided, Council provided further policy direction. Council direction that staff has received to date includes: 1. Ensure that applications for maintenance/repairs (e.g. window replacement, siding replacement, roof replacement, repaint) have a fee of $20.00 to ensure that required maintenance and repairs to existing structures are not negatively impacted by an increase in review fees. 2. Develop a definition for a maintenance/repair application. This application type would typically be staff reviewed and approved. 1 3. Create an overall fee structure that more accurately reflects the labor and overhead cost of providing development review service. 4. Create an incentive for "green" building practices by providing a total building permit fee rebate for new construction that receives LEEDs certification and a Final Certificate of Occupancy. 2. DEFINITION OF A MAINTENANCE/REPAIR APPLICATION VERSUS A MINOR ALTERATION The fee for Design Review Board applications for maintenance and repairs to existing structures would remain $20.00. The actual cost for processing one of these applications, including labor and overhead, is $66. Community Development receives approximately 150-200 of these types of applications per year. The majority of these types of applications are reviewed for minimum compliance with our adopted regulations and approved by staff. Staff is proposing to define "maintenance/repair" for the purpose of determining the appropriate application type as, "An application for design review involving the maintenance and repair of an existing structure, utilizing same for same materials, including, but not limited to, door and window replacement, exterior siding replacement, a repaint, a reroof, and an exterior deck, balcony or sidewalk replacement." Staff is proposing to define a "minor alteration" for purposes of determining the appropriate application type as, "An application for design review involving the addition of building mass, site improvements, retaining walls, changes in exterior building materials (i.e., wood siding to stone, asphalt shingles to metal roofing, etc.), deck additions and alterations, fences, etc." The Gateway DRB appeal memo references several sections of the code related to actions that require DRB approval. It may be helpful to reference this memo with regard to what the Town code requires in reference to Design Review Board approval. 3. PROPOSED FEE STRUCTURE: Staff has reviewed the fee structure for the Town of Vail's development review process. Upon completion of our review, we have found that approximately 60% of the total cost of development review are paid by application fees while the other 40% is subsidized by the Town and the taxpayer. The following is a summary of the existing fee structure: Approximate Revenue: $ 819,000 ($39K Planning & $780K Building) Development Review Cost: $1.336.000 ($100,000 + reduction in last 3 yrs) Difference: 516,000 (Difference not paid by developers) The proposed fees are in the shaded column and are compared to average actual cost for an application and the current application fee. 2 Changes since the last Council Discussion include:, • A maintenance/repair DRB application would remain at $20.00. • A minor alteration DRB application would be increased to $250.00. • A major SDD amendment that did not require any exterior modification is proposed to be $1200 versus $6000. Staff thought this was a more accurate reflection of the time and cost for this specific type of SDD amendment like we saw with the Gateway Building application. • Previously, staff did not list an application fee for a zoning text amendment. This is a current application with a cost of $250. This now is included in the chart below.

The 1991 fee structure is 20% less than the 1997 UBC fee structure. Nearly all the other jurisdictions in Eagle County have adopted the 1997 UBC fee structure. Environmental Rebate: The Town Council has expressed an interest incentivizing an environmental certification program for construction called Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEEDS). If approved, Resolution 9, would provide the opportunity for a 20% rebate of the total building permit fees for new construction projects that receive LEEDS certification and a Final Certificate of Occupancy. 4. INPUT FROM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY The Community Development Department did a mass mailing (over 1000 pieces) to individuals and companies that have gone through the development review process and registered contractors. This mailing included our service standards and the proposed fee schedule. We also emailed the letter and the proposed fee structure to the Vail Chamber for their review. PEC and DRB have also reviewed the proposed fee structure. We requested that individuals with comments or ideas fax their comments back to the Town of Vail. In addition 3 open houses occurred on the following dates: 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Friday October 5th (lunch included) 4:30-6:00 p.m. on Monday October 8th 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. on Monday October 15th At these meetings staff solicited input on how we can improve our service to the community and the proposed fee structure. Comments as of October 10th, 2001 were very limited. Comments received included: • Need to improve enforcement for mechanical equipment. Some owners/contractors are installing with out the necessary screening. • If increased fees will insure faster turn around time and that staffing will not be lost "go ahead and increase them". Since October 16th I did receive a phone message from an alarm contractor saying that we should not change our fee structure. Comments from several focus groups the Department conducted in the spring of 2001 included: • "You get a great bang for your buck in Vail" • Service is better than other jurisdictions • TOV should increase fees for planning to correspond to actual cost. That would keep us from wasting time with applications that were not serious. 4. DIRECTION REQUESTED FROM THE TOWN COUNCIL Staff is requesting direction in the form of a motion regarding the following questions: 1) Does the Town Council want to adopt Resolution No. 9, Series of 2001 and the new fee schedule for planning applications as outlined on page 3? and 4 2) Does the Town Council want to create a rebate for LEEDs certification? Within the next year staff will be coming to the Council with the new International Building Code which is intended to provide one building code for the entire Country. It is more performance based and allows applicants additional flexibility in achieving performance standards. Staff anticipates this being ready for Council review by the 1St quarter of 2002. When this occurs, staff will also be proposing a modified fee structure for building permits.

PURPOSE OF MEETING: The purpose of this worksession is to ask Council whether development review fees should reflect the cost of providing those services. Staff has recently reviewed the fee structure for the Town of Vail's development review process and the cost for providing that service and found that approximately 60% of the total cost is paid by fees and the other 40% is subsidized by the Town and the taxpayer. The following is a summary of the existing fee structure: Approximate Revenue: $ 819,000 ($39K Planning & $780K Building) Development Review Cost: $1.336.000 ($100,000 + reduction in last 3 yrs) Difference: 516,000 (Difference not paid by developers) The current fee structure is back end loaded in, that the most significant fees are incurred during the building process and the planning related fees are relatively low. Staff has also looked at the fee structure for other jurisdictions and found that our fees are low particularly with respect to planning related applications. Staffs rational for examining the fee structure includes the following: • When compared to other jurisdictions, staff questions why the Vail community should subsidize development costs. • The overall budget is increasingly limited to pay for an increasing demand for services. Increased revenue from development review fees that reflect a true cost could help provide additional revenue and ensure a high level of service for development review applications. • The boards and staff feel that the low cost of certain applications leads, in some cases, to poorly conceived plans. • Staff is interested in exploring with Council whether incentives (through the fee structure) should be developed for environmentally friendly development, retail enhancement, and owner occupied housing. If Council feels that fees should reflect the cost of providing development review fees, staff would request working further with the building and design community to revise the fee schedule and bring a revised fees schedule back to the Town Council for their approval. 1 2. BACKGROUND The Town Council and the Design Review Board met on September 4th. One of the issues discussed, was how the current development review fees do not cover the expense of providing development review services. Council expressed interest in scheduling this issue for discussion. At the PEC meeting on August 27th, the Planning Commission expressed interest in raising fees for commercial applications to reflect their true cost and to ensure that more expensive residential development also pay for their true cost. The zoning code addresses fees and generally states that fees should cover expenses. For example: • Sign Applications: Section 11-2-2 states that "the fee shall be sufficient to cover the cost of Town staff time and other expenses incidental to the review of the application." • Sign Variance: Section 11-7-3 states "the fee shall be sufficient to cover the cost of Town staff time and other expenses incidental to the review of the application." • Design Review Regulations: Section 12-11-7 states that" the Town Council shall set a design review fee schedule sufficient to cover the cost of Town staff time, consultants fees, and incidental expenses." • Conditional Use Permit: Section 12-16-3 states "the Town Council shall set a conditional use permit fee schedule sufficient to cover the cost of the Town staff time and other expenses incidental to the review of the application. " • Variances: Section 12-17-3 states "the Town Council shall set a variance fee schedule sufficient to cover the cost of Town staff time and other expenses incidental to the review of the application. " Based on existing regulations it is clear that the Town Code provides direction to set development review fees at a rate that covers the direct costs for providing those development review services. Staff has met on several occasions with small focus groups of builders and designers. Initial input is that our fees are extremely low compared to other jurisdictions in Eagle County. Services that are critical to both the design and construction community are the counter service and the overall turn around time of the development review process. Staff has also received input from the design and construction community that applicants have taken advantage of the low fees and submitted applications to simply test an idea or to raise property values by increasing vested rights. Increasing fees to comparable rates to the rest of Eagle County may reduce frivolous applications. 3. EXISTING TOWN OF VAIL FEE STRUCTURE The most significant fees come from the building permit which is based on the total valuation of the construction. Building related fees are incorporated into the various Building, Fire, Mechanical, Pluming, and Electrical codes adopted in the Town Code by reference (Section 10-1-2). It should be noted that the current fee structure for Building is based on the 1991 code which is 20% less than the 1997 UBC fee schedule which 2 nearly all the other jurisdictions in Eagle County have adopted. The planning fees have not changed in last 12 years. The Town will typically only receive $40,000 in fees in a typical year from planning applications. Planners, engineers, and the Fire Department are also heavily involved in reviewing building applications and ensuring that conditions of approval are met during construction. Therefore the building fees also help pay for other staff time and is not just compensation for building inspectors. Attachment A summarizes the existing fee structure and a four-year average for revenues. 4. ACTUAL COST TO PROVIDE SERVICES The actual cost to provide development review services is approximately $1.3 million with approximately $990,000 of that cost is labor. This includes labor costs from Fire, Public Works, Administration, and Community Development directly attributable to the development review process. The other $344,.000 reflects other non-labor costs such as utilities, building costs, publishing, and other costs to support the boards and the process. The major discrepancy between the cost of providing services and the fees collected are the planning related fees. The following is a summary of the actual estimated cost for a typical application.

EFFORTS TO REDUCE COST WHILE MAINTAINING SERVICES A reasonable question to ask is has the Town taken all reasonable actions to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. The most significant action the Town has taken is to reduce staffing by two (a planning and administrative position) in the last 4 years. In addition the housing planner/coordinator was a position that previously was a planner 3 working on the development review process. In addition, Public Works and Fire have reduced administrative staffing levels that assisted in the development review process. To improve long term efficiency and customer service, an existing planning position is focused on providing Geographic Information Services and electronic permit tracking services. A goal is to provide as much information as reasonable over the internet so that customers can use many of the Departments services via the internet. Already placing the Town Code, agendas, and applications on the Internet is saving on time while improving customer service. In addition the Development Review Team has established quality standards for turning around applications. We are monitoring our ability to meet these expectations and are integrating these expectations into personnel performance reviews. Attached is a list of these customer expectations (Attachment B). The Community Development Department has also implemented a survey for customers. We are working on improving participation in customer surveys through direct mailings. The feedback, the Town receives from actual customers is generally very good in terms of being treated fairly and staff being helpful in the process. Staff has received input that our service has been impacted by recent cuts particularly in the front office. We have tried to mitigate these losses by cross training counter staff so that they can cover for each to address both building and planning questions. However, there has still be a loss of service due to these personnel cuts that our customers have noticed. If additional revenue were available in the future, we would like to ensure staffing is adequate to meet customer expectations and continue to improve our service. 6. COMPARISON TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS As part of the ongoing effort to improve the Development Review process, staff has met with other jurisdictions to obtain ideas to improve customer service and efficiency. As part of this process, staff found some dramatic differences in fees that are collected for development review services (Attachment C). For example, Aspen charges for actual time spent ($205/hour) on either a planing or building application. In Breckenridge, the Town has calculated the average cost of an application and charges each application based on that average cost. It is interesting that several jurisdictions evaluated actually make money on the development review process. Breckenridge for example cleared nearly $800,000 last year. Staff specifically looked at application fees. Other building jurisdictions have gone to the 1997 UBC fees structure that is currently 20% more than the Town's building fee structure. However, the greatest differences are with planning related fees. Dramatic differences occur in the Valley when you compare the Vail minor DRB fee of $20 to a minor DRB application in Beaver Creek which could range from $200 to $4000. Brekenridge has a flat fee and then for certain applications has a per square foot cost that is added to that fee. Breckenridge does have a complex fee system based on 4 classes of permits (A-D). Application fees are compared in Attachment D. 7. PROPOSED NEXT STEPS Staff would recommend that fees be adjusted to more accurately reflect the cost of services. However, before a specific fee structure is developed staff would request that 4 Council first determine a goal for development review fees. Should special consideration be given for LEEDs certification and/or owner builders. With that input staff would recommend having a number of focus group meetings with customers to review a new fee structure that achieved that goal. Then staff would bring a new fee structure to Council for your approval. Therefore, staff would request that the Council respond to the following questions: • Should fees more closely reflect the cost of delivering development services? • Should there be a discount (fees could stay where they are today) for development that meets LEED certification, retail renovation, and/or for residential development that is owner occupied?

Attached is our summary of our service standards that outline our commitments to you. In addition, I would like to invite you to a number of open houses to discuss the Town of Vail development fee structure and services. Based on a recent analysis of the Town's fee structure that we have reviewed with the Town Council, we found that our cost for providing development review services is significantly higher than the revenue generated by development review fees. At the same time the Town's budget with recent events is being reduced. To reduce costs over the last two years we have already eliminated two positions. However, based on input from many of our customers we have heard that we need to maintain adequate resources to efficiently and quickly turn around planning and building applications. Our goal is to improve our service to you so that we can exceed your expectations and the attached service standards. However, with the current budget situation and given the fact that our fees are significantly below the actual cost of providing those services we are proposing a new fee structure that is comparable to other jurisdictions and better reflect the cost of providing a high level of service. I would like to invite you to comment on the attached fee structure and to also visit with us in the Community Development Conference room on any one of the following dates: 12:00-1:00 p.m. on Friday October 5th 4:30-6:00 p.m. on Monday October 8th 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. on Monday October 15th We would appreciate your comments on both the proposed fee structure and your input on how we can improve our service to you. I would also be happy to meet with you at a mutually agreeable time to discuss service and our proposed fee structure. You can contact me at 479-2146 or at ru"ssell@vail.net. Also you can fax any comments you have on the proposed fee structure to 479-2452. Thank you for doing business in Vail and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Request for Input on Proposed Fee Structure OVERIVEW Staff has recently reviewed the fee structure for the Town of Vail's development review process and found that approximately 60% of the total cost is paid by fees and the other 40% is subsidized by the Town and the taxpayer. The following is a summary of the existing fee structure: Approximate Revenue: $ 819,000 ($39K Planning & $780K Building) Development Review Cost: $1.336.000 ($100,000 + reduction in last 3 yrs) Difference: 516,000 (Difference not paid by developers) PROPOSED FEES/ CURRENT FEES/ACTUAL COST Planninq AP lications Actual Difference Average Cost Current (Actual- Total (Labor + Appliation Current Application Type Hours Overhead) Fee Fee) Proposed Fee DRB Minor repair/maintenance 2 $ 66 N/A $ 50 Minor Alteration 8 $ 264 $ 20 $ 244 $ 250 New Construction 20 $ 660 $ 400 $ 260 $ 65( Additions 10 $ 330 $ 50 $ 280 $ 300 Signs 2.5 $ 83 $ 25 $ 58 $ 50 $ - $ PEC $ - $ _ ° .

Staff would be proposing within the next year to change to the 1997 UBC fee structure. Environmental Rebate: The Town Council has expressed an interest incentivizing an environmental certification program for construction called Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design. Staff is also investigating having a 20% rebate for LEEDS (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design). An applicant would be assessed the fee structure mentioned above. Then upon proof of receiving LEED certification 20% of the building fee would be returned back to the applicant.

Staff is proposing to define a "minor alteration" for purposes of determining the appropriate application type as, "An application for design review involving the addition of building mass, site improvements, retaining walls, changes in exterior building materials (i.e., wood siding to stone, asphalt shingles to metal roofing, etc.), deck additions and alterations, fences, etc." . Alternative 2 (No fee for same for same applications) An alternative approach that is a change in what we ask for is not requiring a DRB permit for same for same applications (i.e., replacing a asphalt shingle with the same type and color of asphalt shingle) and limiting the $20 fee to actions involving staff approvals. We would ensure that materials are the same if a building permit is required. Therefore we would not ask for a DRB application if an identical color is used or an identical or other exterior material. Community Development would only take enforcement action if an applicant did not use the same color or material (i.e. the Gateway). Therefore a new definition for "maintenance/repair'. could be: "An application for design review involving the maintenance and repair of an existing structure i4tilizing sam--4cr sz:4s materials-including, but not limited to, door and window replacement, exterior siding replacement, a repaint, a reroof, and an exterior deck, fences, tree removal, balcony or sidewalk replacement, etc. " Staff is proposing to define a "minor alteration" for purposes of determining the appropriate application type as, "An application for design review involving the addition of building mass, site improvements, retaining walls, changes in exterior building materials in multi- family or commercial zone districts (i.e., wood siding to stone, asphalt shingles to metal roofing, etc+dec!< cdditierc 3nj alteFatesrc, feRGeS, etc." Ld WI3 Vail Bike Taxi, Inc. Vision Statement of the Town of Vail: "The Town of Vail will be a leader in natural resource stewardship and will strive, as a community, to attain environmental and economic sustainability." Mission Statement of the Town of Vail: "We will provide the citizens of Vail and our guests with a superior level of environmentally sensitive services and an abundance of recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities." Vail Bike Taxi would provide for the community: • Character for the .village--Pedicabs combine old world charm with modern alternative transportation for both tourists and locals in any given area. Pedicabs have recently made their way into many urbanized centers, including Santa Cruz, CA; Victoria, BC; Sydney, Australia; as well as Denver, CO. • Seamless transition for guests to/from vehicles, lifts, hotels and restaurants. For skiers forced to park on S. Frontage Road, this immediate lift access greatly improves their experience. Pedicabs will be outfitted with ski racks. • Promotes a safe, clean, quiet, environmentally-friendly culture. Without dependence on fossil fuels, a pedicab business is a model of sustainable business. Vail Bike Taxi is also a step toward emulating "car-free" resorts in Switzerland. • Employment opportunity for local cyclists. • Increased guest service perception--Vail Bike Taxi would meet a guest service niche that is currently unmet. One-to-one contact with a friendly knowledgeable local makes Vail feel more like a village and less like, a corporately-owned resort. • Drivers will be certified, liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per incident. • Pedicab operators will abide by all traffic laws, stay in bicycle lanes when available, avoid blocking traffic, and keep their equipment in safe working condition at all times. Pedicabs have a headlight, running lights, turn signals and disc brakes for the utmost of safety. During winter, pedicabs will be outfitted with wide studded tires for traction. • Storage of pedicabs most likely at Cascade Resort Hotel. z 1 Pedicabs in the Town of Vail In January of this year, the Police Department was asked to explore the feasibility of a local hotel using golf carts to shuttle its guests from the property to the ski lifts, as well as various points in between. Ultimately the plan was rejected for safety reasons, among others, although limited loading and delivery use was approved - essentially regulating the status quo by official ordinance. The idea of a golf cart traveling down Vail Valley Drive or the South Frontage Road, in the winter and during peak skier hours, was considered unreasonable. One of the fears was that the driver would pick-up and drop-off passengers at any and all spots along the roadway, creating an undue hazard for other motorists and pedestrians. There was also concern that this service would be a duplication of the Town's existing free bus service. Now, Council is presented with a proposal that essentially seeks endorsement of this very activity, simply without the electric motor. The proponents have touted pedicabs, or bicycles pulling passenger implements, as an environmentally friendly, economical means to "deliver skiers from their cars to the lifts seamlessly, and vice versa." The pedicabs would also transport people around and between Vail Village and Lionshead. The two gentlemen touting the venture have ostensibly planned for storage and endurance issues. At this time, the Police Department has been detailed to investigate the possibility of authorizing these vehicles for use on the streets of Vail. Current Uses The initial request for presentation of a proposal cites four cities with operating pedicab businesses: Denver, Colorado; Victoria, British Columbia; Santa Cruz, California; and Sydney, Australia. Denver According to the District Six command office of the Denver Police Department, pedicabs are used in the lower downtown (LoDo) section of the city, including the Sixteenth Street Mall. The Mall is essentially a dedicated pedestrian area, although there are free shuttle buses running the length of the street. The pedicabs move through the Mall, as well as along the streets of LoDo themselves, which are all one-way roads. These roads are wide, with street parking as the norm. DPD states that they do not have any major problems with the operators, and they blend with traffic, both pedestrian and vehicle, fairly well. Each cab must have a license plate, brakes, headlight and taillights. The cabs operate in all weather, and the Motorcycle unit, which patrols the area, does not have any anecdotal information regarding any accidents or crashes. There is a feeling that the pedicab drivers tend to have a lower regard for traffic control devices, however the Denver City ordinance covering their use does not include any `points' toward their operator's license for violations of the traffic code. According to the District Six Lieutenant, the pedicabs function well within their area. They typically carry people who } are bar hopping through downtown. They also transport patrons from outlying parking areas to Coors Field and the Pepsi Center, though they tend to use back alleys and shortcuts to reach these major destinations rather than the vehicular throughway. Overall, the officers do not have a problem with their operation. The biggest concern was in the effectiveness of the braking system on the cabs. The Lieutenant stated that the pedicabs are very heavy, and when under a full load can be extremely difficult to stop in a short amount of time and space. Victoria, B.C. Victoria is an old-world town on the west coast of Canada. It could be compared to a town like Aspen in layout, though somewhat bigger and concentrated on coastline rather than a mountain. There are no dedicated pedestrian areas, with vehicles having normal access to the main business district. Pedicabs operate as a tourist attraction in and of themselves in this area. According to a Sergeant with the Victoria Police Department, the "city fathers" of the area are strong supporters of their use. This Sergeant stated that, from a law enforcement perspective, the pedicabs do not cause much disruption of traffic flow. He knew of no accidents or crashes involving the cabs, and attributed this fact to a greater wariness on the part of car drivers - essentially he said that everyone knows they are there, and pay extra attention around them. Speaking as a citizen of the town, the Sergeant said that the pedicabs were an annoyance. In particular, the drivers often turn around to talk to their passengers and fail to pay attention to what is in front of them. They are difficult to get around on narrow streets and tend to ignore some traffic laws. Santa Cruz, California The Santa Cruz Police Department was unable to provide any information regarding the use of pedicabs in their city. Svdnev. Australia The New South Wales Police Department was unable to provide any information regarding the use of pedicabs in their city. An Internet search of pedicab companies reveals a worldwide market for the service. However, they seem to be confined to large, tourist-oriented cities. There are no comparable locations to the Town of Vail, where the core district is small, narrow, dense and filled with pedestrian traffic. They are also almost exclusively confined to milder climates. LV Town of Vail Considerations The town has two categories to examine: Issues of safety and issues of access. 1. Issues of Safety The idea of a pedicab traveling internally through the Village or Lionshead in and of itself is not particularly dangerous. Again, though, this is essentially a duplication of existing bus service. The maintenance of internal roads is not at issue. There is no reason to doubt Mr. Palmer's assertion that snow tires and strong legs would carry the cab over a few rough patches of icy or snow packed street. The real safety issue arises with an examination of the claim that the pedicabs will carry people from their cars to the ski lifts. Clearly, these cabs should not have access to the Parking Structures. Perhaps some people parking at Ford Park may be willing to pass up a crowded bus for this ride, but the target again appears to be those people parking on South Frontage Road after the Structure fills. The danger lies in having these pedicabs traveling onto South Frontage to pick up and drop off. The parked cars already occupy the far north shoulder. Experience shows us that once this shoulder fills, the right, westbound lane of the road becomes a difficult lane to navigate. The occupants of the parked cars tend to unintentionally spill into the travel area, with skis, poles, body parts, etc. Factor in other cars looking for empty slots to fill, many people traveling too fast for the posted speed limit and conditions, and the addition of pedicabs looking for fares may complicate things dangerously. Assume that the cab has picked up a fare, and merged back into traffic. Where is it going to go? Should we allow it to make a U-turn and head immediately toward the Village, or must it continue to the Roundabout? And what of this vehicle traveling 10 -15 miles per hour along the Frontage Road during peak arrival and departure times? Now move the same scenario to the west side of the roundabout, on the curves and hills around Lionshead. The operators state that they will stay in bicycle lanes whenever possible. These scenarios, however, presuppose that the bicycle lane is filled with parked cars. Furthermore, other than the shoulders of the Frontage Road, there are no such lanes. It is the Police Department's position that the presence of these vehicles on the Frontage Road, picking up and dropping off fares, presents an undue hazard to the safety of other motorists and the occupants of the cabs themselves. 2. Issues of Access These are much more diverse, and would require a great deal of deliberation. First, reconsider the restrictions on golf cart use throughout town. No access to the Covered Bridge Plaza or Willow Bridge Road, which effectively eliminates any possibility of driving one into the Village. Contrast that with the current operation of the Horse Drawn Carriage business. Traditionally, the Police Department has turned a blind eye to the Horses routes through the Village. They commonly violate the Do Not Enter signs at Hanson Ranch Road/Seibert Circle and Willow Bridge Road/East Meadow. The horses, however, are moving extremely slowly, do not go anywhere other than roadways (i.e., not to the ski lifts) and are an attraction, or end, rather than a means to an end. The greatest difference, however, is that once a Carriage has picked up its riders, it heads away from town, into the outlying areas. The Carriages only travel through the Village at night, and never through large crowds. If the pedicab operator's goal is to move patrons through town, the only legal access would be through Checkpoint Charlie, which in turn necessitates access to Vail Road. To maintain fairness, the Police Department would need to greatly restrict access to the Horse Drawn Carriages as well, which could negatively affect their business. Council would subsequently have to determine if a pedicab on Vail Valley Drive is reasonable, and if not, be prepared to apply that standard to a Carriage. Even if the pedicabs could travel on Vail Valley Drive, they are left with no real access to the Village core other than the bike path behind Christiana (addressed below). Second, access to lifts is not clearly defined in the proposal. Getting a pedicab conveniently near to Golden Peak would require use of the Town bus lane. Reaching the Vista Bahn would mean either dropping off in Seibert Circle (or navigating to One Vail Place) or riding up Mill Creek, behind the Lodge Tower - a busy and barely maintained road in the winter. The Gondola/Eagle Bahn could be reached via the Loading Docks, but requires access to Vail Resorts property. Riding up and down the hill between the ticket office and Garfinkel's may be an option, but Council should factor in the large crowds descending this narrow chute at peak times. Third, the operators state that they would use bike paths and bike lanes as much as possible. However, the only marked "bike lane" exists on West Meadow Drive, from the Fire Station to the Hospital. The bike paths are not maintained during the winter and would be treacherous, even for a well-conditioned operator. Additionally, Council has already granted Vail Resorts limited access to some of the bike paths for snowmobile transport. Fourth, the operators may require access to the same cab lanes at the Transportation Center as normal vehicles. This is minor, but again the question is, once they leave the TRC, where do they go? Ultimately, access to the Village must be strictly defined. Past Use In the mid-1980's, a local businessman implemented a similar pedicab program. He, however, limited use to the summer months, when terrain and conditions were not an issue. That operation and the current proposal for winter use are not comparable. Recommendations Vail has always been a destination for bicyclists of every level. This is, however, traditionally a summer activity. Certainly many residents ride their bikes in the winter, but they are not pulling a cab full of passengers and equipment. The Police Department's position is that the addition of pedicabs to our streets, in our unique circumstances and if approved, should be severely limited in access and operation. Picking up and dropping off on South Frontage Road appears to be too dangerous a proposition to be realistically considered. Movement through the interior of town is more easily accepted, but is again a duplication of existing (free) service. Certainly, some people would pay for a quicker, less crowded ride, but at this point it is unknown if there would be enough demand to support a business. Access to the lifts is an issue for council to consider and weigh carefully. It could be done, but the parameters must be clearly defined and enforced. This includes any access to Bridge Street or the Lionshead mall. Such narrow, pedestrian areas, when filled with people, skis, snowboards, animals, etc., are tricky enough to navigate on foot. The addition of a pedicab, especially at peak hours, seems unrealistic as well. These recommendations do not take into account logistics such as licensing, insurance and oversight. If the original operator's proposal is accepted in theory, these issues should then be addressed. VAIL BIKE TAXI OPERATING PLAN 10.22.01 Delineated below are components of operating procedures for the Vail Bike Taxi, as proposed for operation with Zone 1 of the Town of Vail. General operations: Pedicabs are pollution-free people-powered vehicles as defined in TOV Ordinance 1 1984. No motorized assistance. Vail Bike Taxi will operate in streets, parking lots, pathways, alleyways, and public plazas in the Town of Vail. Vail Bike Taxi will provide an invaluable service to guests, providing safe, quiet, efficient customized transportation in the base areas of Vail Mountain. Pedicabs will carry no more than two adults and one small child at a time, or up to 500 lbs. Pedicabs will obey and comply with all applicable laws and ordinances established by the Town of Vail. Pedicabs will avoid high-traffic streets, will allow vehicle passing, and will not block any thoroughfare or right-of-way. In pedestrian zones, the pedicabs will not exceed 5 mph. Operating Routes: The pedicabs will operate within the Vail Village streets, Lionshead Plaza, Golden Peak, and interconnecting bike paths, portions of South Frontage Rd. (see attached map). Covered Bridge will be used as an operating route access to Bridge Street. Pedicabs will not enter parking structures unless there exists an urgent circumstance. Access to all pedestrian zones will be done in a cautious, courteous manner. Fleet: The pedicab fleet will consist of two pedicabs manufactured by Main Street Pedicabs in Denver, CO. Future growth of fleet will depend upon demand and success of business. Each pedicab has an overbuilt steel frame, dark blue fiberglass passenger cab, 21-speeds and disc brakes. The pedicabs have Nightsun dual halogen beam headlights with front and rear turn signals and running lights. The cab has a black vinyl seat for passengers, shock absorbers, and fenders. Winter operations: For winter, the pedicabs will be outfitted with studded tires for optimum traction on icy slopes and slippery areas. With good stability and limited slip rear differential, the pedicabs function very well in winter climates. Passengers will be offered blankets for warmth. Pedicabs will also be outfitted with ski/snowboard holders for safe efficient transport of gear. Operators: Vail Bike Taxi will be run by its partner owners, James Mortenson and Adam Palmer, who will operate pedicabs on a part-time basis. Vail Bike Taxi will hire additional operators to fill open shifts. Each operator will be of at least 18 years of age with a clean driving record. While cycling capability will be a prerequisite for pedicab operators, greater emphasis will be put on safety, guest service, base area familiarity, and courtesy. Each driver will complete a comprehensive safety and guest service program before allowed to operate a pedicab. Fee structure: Passenger fees will vary, depending upon distance traveled and peak times. Fares will generally be between $5 and $10 dollars, and up to the discretion of the pedicab operator. Pedicab operators may operate for donations if desired. Pedicab operators will be hired as self-employed contractors, and charged a user fee of $40 per shift for use of equipment/business license/insurance. Insurance: Vail Bike Taxi will have general liability (including personal injury) in an amount not less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) per individual and not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. Operating hours: Operating hours will vary greatly depending upon time of year. Vail Bike Taxi will not operate earlier than 6:00am or later than 12:00am. i_n 7-5-1 7-5-6 CHAPTER 5 PEOPLE-POWERED VEHICLES SECTION: 7-5-4: SECTION 25-2 AMENDED; DEFINITIONS: 7-5-1: Title 7-5-2: Definition Subparagraph (kk) is added to section 25-2 7-5-3: Amendments of the Municipal Traffic Code to read as 7-5-4: Section 25-2 Amended; follows: Definitions 7-5-5: Section 23-12(b) Amended; Use People-powered vehicle - Every vehi- Restrictions cle propelled by human power having 7-5-6: Section 23-9(b) Amended; Street a body, three (3) or more wheels, and Signs a seat or seats for two (2) or more 7-5-7: Pedicabs Allowed persons.

While these may not necessarily affect our pedicab business if given the opportunity to operate, I'd like to address each of the issues briefly: Storage difficulty: Having a permanent secure place to store the pedicabs while not in use is essential to the success of the operation. We currently have 3 opportunities for storage, it's premature at this point to finalize an agreement but we're planning on partnering with one of our local businesses for storage. Of course, storing 2 pedicabs would not be very difficult, a larger fleet would take more consideration, but for now I honestly don't see it as a problem. Safety issues/melding with pedestrian traffic in village: Safety is paramount to the pedicab business. As mentioned in the proposal, each driver would complete a pedicab driver training course and certification that makes them aware and accountable for all safety issues involving operation of the pedicab, including traffic laws and regulations, lights, allowing safe and easy passing by busses and vehicles, avoiding areas not conducive to pedicabs, and courtesy to others. The pedicabs would be properly maintained at all times. Drivers would not surpass a 5 mph speed limit while within the villages, and would simply go the speed of pedestrian traffic during crowded or peak times. The pedicabs would not at any time plow their way through pedestrian traffic in order to make their way through. I believe as done right a pedicab melds perfectly into a pedestrian village, being safe and courteous and adding character, fun, convenience, and service to the village itself. Conflicts with horse-drawn carriages: While there may be a small amount of competition between pedicabs and horse-drawn carriages, for the most part I believe they have an entirely different focus and purpose: horse-drawn carriages provide a scenic tour of the area, and are more of a ride rather than a means to an end. Pedicabs generally provide shorter trips, are generally faster, and more economical, giving customers a quick ride to the ski lift from their car or the parking structure, from village to village if they'd rather not take the bus, or to their condo. While pedicabs are still fun to ride in, they are more utilitarian in origin, focusing more on the destination rather than the ride itself. By no means would pedicabs, which would most likely see peak rider times during the day, replace horse-drawn carriages, which don't even start operations until 5:00pm. Transport in icy areas--west hill next to Dobson Ice Arena: The west hill now has snow melt, so that specific area wouldn't be an issue, but the pedicabs would be outfitted with studded tires similar to car tires to effectively deal with other potential icy areas. While living in East Vail I commuted to work daily on my mountain bike outfitted with studded tires. They grip very well on compact snow and ice. With two-wheel traction, studded tires, and weight sitting directly above, I honestly don't see traction as a problem for us. Altitude for drivers: Cycling at altitude is a way of life for Jimi and I, it hasn't seemed to hold us back thus far. We would plan on hiring one or two additional professional cyclists to fill potential shifts if needed. If so, they would be just that: professional, friendly, and more than competent for the physical demands of the job in the climate we live in. Thanks so much for your consideration, we'd really like the opportunity to give a brief presentation to council on the proposal. Thanks again, ORDINANCE # 1 (SERIES OF 1984) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 10.20 PEOPLE- POWERED VEHICLES BY THE ADDITION OF 10.20.070 PERMITTING THE OPERATION OF PEDICABS ON THE STREETS OF THE TOWN OF VAIL; AMENDING SECTION 5.20.090 SELLING ON STREETS PROHIBITED SO THAT THE SALE OF PEDICAB AND TAXICAB SERVICES ARE NOT PROHIBITED WITHIN ANY PUBLIC STREET OR RIGHT-OF-WAY WITHIN THE TOWN; AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 14, SERIES OF 1978 TO PERMIT PEDICABS TO OPERATE ON CERTAIN PEDESTRIAN MALLS WITHIN THE TOWN OF VAIL; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO.

The extent of such regrading shall be limited to providing adequate egress areas for windows or doors as per the minimum necessary requirement for the 4Morm Q;~'ildiRg Gede adopted building code. Examples of exterior modifications which are not considered to increase building bulk and mass include, but are not limited to, the addition of windows, doors, skylights, and window-wells. Subject to design approval, dormers may be considered an exterior modification in conjunction with interior conversions permitted by this Section. Prior to approval of proposed dormers or regrading for windows or doors as described above, the staff or the Design Review Board shall find that they do not add significantly to the bulk and mass of the building and are compatible with the overall scale, proportion, and design of the building. For the purpose of this Section, "dormers" are defined as a vertical window projecting from a sloping roof of a building, having vertical sides -25- and a gable or shed roof, in which the total cumulative length of the dormer(s) does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the length of the sloping roof, per roof plane, from which the dormer(s) projects.

Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Brent Wilson / Bill Gibson 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Through the review process of various zoning applications, problems arise with specific code sections that are not clear to applicants. This often occurs with zoning code amendments, changes in procedures, or errors in codification. Therefore, staff periodically returns to the Planning and Environmental Commission and to the Town Council to "clean-up" the Zoning, Subdivision, and Sign Codes. These amendments are not intended to amend the substantive content of the code, but rather to "clean- up" errors and clarify sections of the code. None of the proposed amendments result in a change of policy. The amendments to the Town Code included in this memorandum are described briefly below: • Amendments to the Definitions Chapter, • An Amendment to the lighting provisions within the Sign Regulations, • Amendments to the Commercial Core II Zoning Regulations, • An Amendment to the PA Zone District, • Amendments with regard to references to adopted building and fire codes. • Amendments with regard to parking areas on private property. More detailed descriptions and the reasoning behind each are described in Section IV of this memorandum. TOWN O WAIL -1- II.

Text to be added will be underlined.) A. AMENDMENTS TO THE DEFINITIONS CHAPTER - REGULATORY ELEMENTS Currently the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations contain a significant amount of regulatory elements (as opposed to strictly definitions) within the "Definitions" chapter. This causes confusion for applicants and expands the parameters of the definitions section well beyond the provision of text definitions. The following definitions are proposed for amendment. There are no text amendments proposed, only the placement of regulatory elements within the appropriate chapters, rather than within the definitions. The portions indicated in bold type are proposed to be moved. ACCOMMODATION UNIT: Any room or group of rooms without kitchen facilities designed for or adapted to occupancy by guests and accessible from common corridors, walks, or balconies without passing through another accommodation unit or dwelling unit. Each accommodation unit shall be counted as one-half (1/2) of a dwelling unit for purposes of calculating allowable units per acre. This language will be moved to the "Density Control" sections in the High-Density Multiple Family, Public Accommodation, Commercial Core 1 and Commercial Core zone districts. BED AND BREAKFAST: A business which accommodates guests in a dwelling unit in which the bed and breakfast proprietor lives on the premises and is in residence during the bed and breakfast use. A bed and breakfast operation may short-term rent separately up to three (3) bedrooms or a maximum square footage of nine hundred (900) square feet of the dwelling unit. Bed and breakfast operations shall only be permitted to accommodate a "family" as defined in this Section. This language will be moved to the "use specific" criteria outlined in the Conditional Use Permits chapter. DWELLING UNIT: Any room or group of rooms in a two-family or multiple-family building with kitchen facilities designed for or used by one family as an independent housekeeping unit. A dwelling unit in a multiple-family building may include one attached accommodation unit no larger than one-third (1/3) of the total floor area of the dwelling. This language will be moved to the "Density Control" sections in the Residential Cluster, Low Density Multiple Family, Medium Density Multiple Family, High Density Multiple Family, Public Accommodation, Commercial Core 1, Commercial Core 11, Commercial Service Center, Lionshead Mixed Use 1, Lionshead Mixed Use and Ski Base Recreation zone districts. -3- Y/ FRACTIONAL FEE CLUB: A fractional fee project in which each condominium unit, pursuant to recorded project documentation as approved by the town Town of Vail, has no fewer than six (6) and no more than twelve (12) owners per unit and whose use is established by a reservation system-T-#s prajeet and is managed on-site with a front desk operating twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week providing reservation and registration capabilities. Each of the fractional fee club units are made available for short-term rental in a managed program when not in use by the club members. The project shall include or be proximate to transportation, retail shops, eating and drinking establishments, and recreation facilities. These sentences will be moved to the "use specific" criteria outlined in the Conditional Use Permits chapter. B. AMENDMENTS TO THE DEFINITIONS CHAPTER-TEXT CORRECTIONS The following is a proposed minor text correction within the definition of a lodge: LODGE: A building or group of associated buildings designed for occupancy primarily as the temporary lodging place of individuals or families either in accommodation units or dwelling units, in which the gross residential floor area devoted to accommodation units or fractional fee club units, is equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the total gross residential floor area on the site, and in which all such units are operated under a single management providing the occupants thereof customary hotel services and facilities. Notwithstanding the above, for properties containing gross residential floor area equal to or less than eighty (80) square feet of gross residential floor area for each one hundred (100) square feet 4083 of buildable site area, such properties shall be defined as lodges, provided that gross residential floor area devoted to accommodation units or fractional fee club units exceed the gross residential floor area devoted to dwelling units. C. AMENDMENTS TO THE PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION ZONE DISTRICT- CORRECTION OF A TYPO The following amendment is proposed for Section 12-7A-12: 12-7A-12: EXTERIOR ALTERNATIONS ALTERATIONS OR MODIFICATIONS: D. AMENDMENTS TO THE COMMERCIAL CORE II ZONING REGULATIONS In December of 1998, the Vail Town Council adopted the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Subsequently, the Commercial Core II district within Lionshead was rezoned to Lionshead Mixed Use I district. Today, the only property remaining under Commercial Core II zoning is the Village Center property in Vail Village. Therefore, the references to the Vail Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan within the Commercial Core II zone district are obsolete and -4- inaccurate. The following changes are proposed: 12-7C-1: PURPOSE: The Commercial Core 2 District is intended to provide sites for a mixture of multiple-dwellings, lodges and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified development.

In the event that the cost of installing the improvements exceeds the amount of the bond, the owner of said property shall be individually liable to the Town for the additional costs thereof. Furthermore, the amount that the cost of installing said improvements exceeds the amount of the performance bond shall automatically become a lien upon any and all property included within the design review application. 12-15-4(C): INTERIOR CONVERSIONS (Standards) 3. Proposals for GRFA pursuant to this Section may involve exterior modifications to existing buildings, however, such modifications shall not increase the building bulk and mass of the existing building. Examples of exterior modifications which are considered to increase building bulk and mass include, but are not limited to, the expansion of any existing exterior walls of the building, regrading around a building in a manner which exposes more than two (2) vertical feet of existing exterior walls and the expansion of existing roofs. Notwithstanding the two (2) vertical foot limitation to regrading around a building described above, additional regrading may be permitted in order to allow for egress from new interior spaces. The extent of such regrading shall be limited to providing adequate egress areas for windows or doors as per the minimum necessary requirement for the IJRif9FFR U+ldiRg-Cede adopted building code. Examples of exterior modifications which are not considered to increase building bulk and mass include, but are not limited to, the addition of windows, doors, skylights, and window-wells. Subject to design approval, dormers may be considered an exterior modification in conjunction with interior conversions permitted by this Section. Prior to approval of proposed dormers or regrading for windows or doors as described above, the staff or the Design Review Board shall find that they do not add significantly to the bulk and mass of the building and are compatible with the overall scale, proportion, and design of the building. For the purpose of this Section, "dormers" are defined as a vertical window projecting from a sloping roof of a building, having vertical sides and a gable or shed roof, in which the total cumulative length of the dormer(s) -io- does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the length of the sloping roof, per roof plane, from which the dormer(s) projects. (SEE FIGURE IN CODE BOOK ON FILE IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE) 12-18-9: RESTORATION: Whenever a nonconforming use which does not conform with the regulations for the district in which it is located, or a nonconforming structure or site improvement which does not conform with the requirements for setbacks, height, density control, building bulk control or site coverage is destroyed by fire or other calamity, by act of God or by the public enemy, its use may be resumed or the structure may be restored, provided the restoration is commenced within one year and diligently pursued to completion. All new construction must conform to the applicable gn+f +n Building Cede, Unifsrrn Fire -Cede adopted building codes, fire codes, and other relevant codes regarding safety and construction which are in effect at the time rebuilding is proposed. 13-7-6: ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDOMINIUM CONVERSIONS TO EMPLOYEE HOUSING UNITS: The applicant proposing to make a condominium conversion to employee housing units shall provide the following documentation with the preliminary map: A.

No parked vehicle shall overhang any public right of way. Although the Town has enforced these provisions for residential parking areas for decades, the language does not appear within the residential parking provisions of Title 14, Vail Town Code.

Members Present: Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Sybill Navas, Mayor Pro-Tem Diana Donovan Kevin Foley Greg Moffet Chuck Ogilby Rod Slifer Staff Members Present: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer, Asst. Town Manager The Vail Town Council first convened as the Vail Local Marketing District (VLMD) to approve Resolution #1, Series of 2001, a resolution adopting a budget and making appropriations to pay the costs, expenses and liabilities of the Vail Local Marketing District, for its fiscal year January 2, 2002, through December 31, 2002. Mayor Kurz introduced Resolution #1 into the record, asking Finance Director Steve Thompson to concur that the town budget had been reduced by 10%, although the town was keeping the marketing district budget in tact as written, not knowing what the season would bring. Kurz expressed his concern that the highest priority should be given to marketing the town during the summer and shoulder seasons and asked that the marketing board look for ways to save dollars. Thompson stated the budget numbers were the same as those presented in the budget hearings. Ross Boyle, chairman of the marketing district, addressed the Council, stating the board had been looking at the changing market and given the events of September 11th, realizing the tourism industry would most likely be affected. Boyle stated the international market would most likely be the first to feel the effects. After further discussion, Greg Moffet made a motion to approve Resolution #1, Series of 2001. Rod Slifer seconded the motion. Mayor Pro- Tern Sybill Navas stated the marketing board needed to be very clear on the fact that the income to this group does not come out of the town's general fund. It was also pointed out that the lodging tax was a Vail-only tax and the marketing board should become independent of the town in the near future. Foley stated that all marketing groups, including the Vail Chamber and Business Association and the combined chamber should come together to unify their message and avoid duplication. Navas stated the special events committee will be meeting twice next week to put together a proposal on how these relationships can be organized. Diana Donovan stated she would be looking for improved accountability of the administrative funds. Greg Moffet then made a motion to adjourn to regular session. Rod Slifer seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council convened at approximately 7:00 P.M. All members of the Vail Town Council were present. Also in attendance were Bob McLaurin, Town Manager, and Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager. The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Mayor Kurz reminded the public to keep their items to a minimum time period and any items requiring further discussion would be scheduled for a future meeting. Kurz also asked that any items pertaining to the up-coming municipal election be held for the scheduled debates. There was no citizen participation. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. The first item on the consent agenda was the approval of the September 4th and 18th minutes. Sybill Navas made two corrections to the September 18th minutes. Greg Moffet made a motion to approve the September 4th and 18th minutes as revised. Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The second item on the consent agenda was the second reading of Ordinance No. 25, Series of 2001, an ordinance amending the Vail Town Code, Title 14, Development Standards Handbook, Section 10, Design Review Standards and Guidelines, D. Building Materials and Design. George Ruther, head of planning, presented the ordinance to the Council, stating on Tuesday, October 2, 2001, the Council approved by a vote of 6-1 (Navas opposed) the first reading of this ordinance. Gibson stated the Council had requested the phrase "over time" be added to the proposed text amendments during the worksession on October 2nd. After further discussion, Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance #25, Series of 2001, on second reading, with the addition of "over time" in the appropriate sections. Diana Donovan seconded the motion. Sybill Navas stated she voted no on this ordinance on first reading and would be voting no on second reading because she felt the use of the word "may" within the ordinance eliminated any degree of certainty during the application process, relying too much on subjectivity by the Design Review Board. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1, Navas opposing. The third- item under the Consent Agenda was the second reading of Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2001, an ordinance amending the official zoning map for the Town of Vail in accordance with Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Chapter 5, Zoning Map, Rezoning Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision (Mountain Bell Site) to housing Zone District. Allison Ochs, town planner, addressed the Council, stating there had been no changes from first reading but Council had requested additional time to read the staff memo pertaining to the rezoning. Rod Slifer asked Ochs if all affected property owners had been notified of this proposal. Ochs stated yes, they had been. After further discussion, Kevin Foley made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 29 on second reading. Greg Moffet seconded the motion. Diana Donovan expressed her concerns over the rezoning, in particular, notification of the community beyond the adjacent property owners, and the housing rezoning issues. Donovan felt that the public had not been given sufficient information as to what was being proposed for this site. Sybill Navas disagreed, stating the Council 2 had continuing discussions regarding this site over the last several years. Also, the fact that there was little public input showed that the community realized there were few alternatives for the housing situation. Slifer expressed his concern on the preliminary design of the project, encouraging the development team to keep in close contact with the Council during the design phase. Foley thanked the housing authority for their work on this project and expressed his faith in all of the town boards to see this project through. A vote was taken on the motion and the motion passed 6-1, Donovan opposing. The third item on the agenda was a Proposed Fee Schedule for Development Review. Russell Forrest, Community Development Director, addressed the Council, stating on September 18, 2001, staff had asked Council whether development review fees should reflect the cost of providing those services. At that meeting the Council directed staff to develop a proposed fee structure that more accurately reflected the true cost of providing those services. Forrest stated a focus group had met earlier in the year to address the issue of better serving the customer. Forrest reported the town's fee structure was relatively low compared with other jurisdictions in the state. Discussion followed regarding what fees were being charged for different applications. It was felt by the Council that the process should be as "user-friendly" as possible, encouraging Vail homeowners to upgrade and maintain their homes with as little hassle as possible. The Council requested Russ return to a future meeting with a fee schedule with definitions that would be given out to applicants for further review. The fourth item on the agenda was the second reading of Ordinance #30, Series of 2001, an ordinance adopting the Annual Appropriation Ordinance, adopting a budget and financial plan and making appropriations to pay the costs, expenses, and liabilities of the Town of Vail, Colorado, for its fiscal year January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2002. Mayor Kurz opened the discussion by stating the Council had directed Town Manager Bob McLaurin and Finance Director Steve Thompson to prepare a budget that reduced sales tax and lift tax revenue estimated for 2001 by 10%. McLaurin stated the revenue budgets were decreased by 10 percent in the sales tax and lift tax revenues. Greg Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance #30, Series of 2001, on second reading. Sybill Navas seconded the motion. Diana Donovan stated she would be voting against the budget, stating it was not conservative enough, she was not in support of using Real Estate Transfer Tax funds for Donovan Park, and accusing the Council of being deceptive in its dealings with Donovan Park. Kevin Foley stated he would also be voting no on the budget, citing the cost of Donovan Park pavilion as the main reason. Rod Slifer expressed his continuing concern over the design of the pavilion, but in favor of the concept of a pavilion. Chuck Ogilby reaffirmed his support of the pavilion, feeling it would make an architectural statement for Vail. Kurz agreed with Ogilby's comments, but felt it was difficult to take the comments made by Donovan, stating they were not reasonable or fair. Tom Steinberg, former councilmember and long time Vail resident, requested the Council voluntarily cut their salaries in half in response to the budget cuts. Reaction from the Council included Slifer's comment that he had always donated his salary to charity, and Navas stating that when she began her first term as a councilmember, her daughter was three years old, and she has used her 3 salary to subsidize childcare expenses. Other councilmembers agreed that their salaries were not large enough to make a difference in the overall budget. Rick Scalpello, Vail resident and Vail Today founder, addressed the Council, asking what was in the budget that would drive an increase in business revenues. Navas responded that the Council was contributing increased funding for special events and contributions in the 2002 Budget. Town Manager McLaurin stated the town was not in a position to guarantee the success of private enterprises, and the town had cut or elected not to fill positions and cut projects from its budget. Slifer felt the nation was already in a recession before the events of September 11th and felt the community needed to do everything it could to get people here. Moffet stated he was proud to sit on a council that supported the community and felt the town was working as a partner with the community and the ski company. Long time Vail resident Flo Steinberg stated she felt the Donovan Park pavilion and the proposed Vail Center conference center were in competition with private Vail businesses. Foley reminded the public that an election for 4 new council seats would be held in three weeks, and encouraged everyone to get out and vote. A vote was taken on the motion and the motion passed 5-2, Foley and Donovan opposing. The fifth item on the agenda was Information Update. Councilmembers were reminded of a dinner with the Eagle County Commissioners scheduled in Eagle at 5:00 P.M. on October 18th, as well as Friday's Colorado Ski Hall of Fame dinner. As a follow up to an earlier discussion, Councilmembers expressed no interest in pursuing a suggestion by Sybill Navas to consider increases to the Council compensation and benefits package. The sixth item on the agenda was Council Reports. Kevin Foley complimented the library staff for its coordination of a children's scarecrow-making party. Greg Moffet noted the annual Matterhorn/Highland Meadows neighborhood trick-or-treat party would be taking place at dusk on Halloween. Sybill Navas said recipients of the Vail Youth Award and Vail Youth Ambassador Award had been selected. The honorees, juniors from Vail Mountain School and Battle Mountain High School, will be introduced at the November 6th Council meeting. Diana Donovan inquired about the status of the athletic fields at Red Sandstone Elementary School. Todd Oppenheimer stated the project was 80% complete and the field should be sodded this fall, weather permitting. Items under Other included: Ogilby suggested the need to discuss coordination between the town and the Vail Recreation District in pursuit of a new gymnastics center. Ogilby stated the center was in jeopardy of being displaced as a result of efforts by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District to acquire the town-owned facility for expansion of its water treatment plant. 4 Foley announced the upcoming Trick-or-Treat Trot event scheduled for October 31St sponsored by the Vail Recreation District and the Vail Public Library. Foley also expressed his condolences to the family of Dan Mulrooney, who passed away this week. The ninth item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Town Manager McLaurin invited the Council to attend the Colorado Association of Ski Towns meeting held October 24th and 25th in Minturn. McLaurin presented the Council with an update on the Donovan Park project and asked for authorization to enter into a contract with J. L. Viele Construction for $3.4 million to construct the park components identified in the Donovan Park Master Plan to include a soccer field, restrooms, playground and on-site parking. The contract, to be completed by next Sept. 15, provided for a fully-functional park but does not include construction of the community pavilion. Greg Moffet made a motion to approve the contract. Chuck Ogilby seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7- 0. In voting in favor of the contract, Donovan asked for assurances that use of funds from the Real Estate Transfer Tax be monitored closely and designated for park use only. Navas emphasized the need to create a unique design for the playground to avoid the colored plastic look. Moffet then moved to adjourn to move to Executive Session. Slifer seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. At P.M., Council returned to regular session to adjourn the meeting.
