FROM: Greg Hall, Director
Department of Public Works/Transportation
DATE: May 30, 2002
RE: PUBLIC WORKS/TRANSPORTATION FACILITY MASTER PLAN UPDATE
In January 1994, Morter Architects/RNL Design completed a space needs analysis and 20 year master plan
for the Town Shops Complex, with an overall estimated budget of $7,706,000 million. This only included
(2) housing units and no work to the tunnel entrance. The master plan recommended a phased approach to
expanding upon the existing facility and site, primarily to keep the site operational and due to budget
constraints. Since then, many phases have been successfully implemented, although not exactly in the
order as outlined in the masterplan. As priorities changed, so did the phasing of the improvements.
I would like to briefly recap the improvements made to the Town Shops Complex since the adoption of the
Masterplan:
96/97 Completed Transportation (Bus Barn) Expansion/Remodel and new $3.2 million
fueling/vehicle wash facility (all to accommodate 40' low floor buses)
Expanded to allow new Welding Bay and Chassis Bay
Enhanced landscaping on the south berm
1997 Town Shops roadway/parking lot reconstruction and drainage $425,000
improvements
1997 Expansion and Remodel of the Public Works Administration Bldg.. $644,000
(Constructed at the same time as Buzzard Park Housing in order to
maximize efficiencies)
97/98 Construction of 24 employee housing units -Buzzard Park $2.5 million
1998 Complete road reconstruction through Public Work's tunnel. $560,000
This included the widening and grade correction of the roadway.
Additionally, a sidewalk was constructed for safe pedestrian traffic
(sidewalk was requirement of Buzzard Park Housing Project).
The current proposed project will not only replace the 5,000 square feet of storage space utilized at the Old
Town Shops, but will also reconfigure the Fleet Maintenance area to produce a more efficient and
operational work space. The advantages include:
Wider fleet bays from 14' to 18'. When two buses are side by side to be worked on, mechanics and
their toolboxes are a tight fit. This would be a substantial improvement to their work area.
Two of the three existing lifts cannot accommodate the low-floor buses, we do not have a lift for the
new aerial fire truck, and the "pit" is inefficient from the standpoint that mechanics are constantly in
and out for parts, tools, etc. The improvements include providing three fully functional lifts in the
addition and filling in the pit to be used as a fleet storage area.
~~~ RECYCLED PAPER
Bays used for heavier pieces of equipment will be more centralized to the parts room.
Tire storage will be moved from the bus barn into the fleet shop next to the tire repair area -again a
time-saver.
Fleet storage in the bus barn is replaced with the storage needs of the Old Town Shop.
Additionally, the proposed project addresses outstanding code issues, such as fire separation walls,
sprinkling the remainder of the shop, providing proper ventilation, meeting proper exit requirements, etc.
Currently, we have had J.L. Viele Construction provide cost estimating without the full design complete to
determine the best approach. Early on in the design process, we evaluated a stand alone building versus an
addition to the existing shop facility. Although a stand alone building could initially be used just for
storage, it would need to be strategically placed and built in order to eventually convert into a fully
functional Streets and Roads Building, with a depth of 65 feet. Because we were only building two walls,
extending no utilities the required 1000 feet, and eliminating the need to excavate and retain the back
hillside, the "addition" scenario was far more feasible than a "stand alone" building. It also brings the
current building up to code.
Once we made the decision to proceed with an addition to the shop, there were basically (2) scenarios we
considered that worked from abuilding/fire code and work function standpoint. We chose the east area
separation wall scenario, even though it was a net cost of $75,000 more. This resulted in obtaining a
completely new heat/ventilation system, which would replace the origina125 year old system.
Budeet Breakdown

FFE $ 250,000
Contingency $ 150,000
Construction $1,100,000
$1,575,000

Prof. Fees Gen. Fund $ 28,500
Federal Grant** $ 150,000
$1,578,000
* The Heavy Equipment Fund (HEF) is an enterprise fund,' which generates revenue through internal
charges for operating and replacement of vehicles/equipment. Through many years of diligent and ej~cient
management of the fleet, this fund has been able to accrue a healthy fund balance. We would like to use
some of this fund balance to cover the proposed Fleet Maintenance improvements, basically reinvest the
money into the Division that generated the savings in the first place.
** The original grant had us replacing one lift. In addition, we brought in $265,000 more than budgeted.
J.L. Viele Preliminary Cost Estimate

$ 43,109
$ 218,253
$ 32,670
$ 73,348
$ 118,278
$1,332,471
We are committed to construct up to $1.1 million with the option of phasing the final improvements over
time (heat, corridor remodel).
During the current design process, we have also reviewed the "out" years and the remaining phases left on
the masterplan. The following is a listing of the remaining improvements:
Site expansion to the north (masterplan calls fora 2.5 acre increase -this may be reduced due
to changing the location of the new streets addition. However the 1994 Master Plan did not
accommodate the Police Impound Lot. With the passage of the new ordinance, the lot will be
smaller but the Town still needs to accommodate the. Impound Lot at Public Works).
Street's addition (masterplan calls for a new stand alone building on the excavated north side -
this will be changed to an addition to the north side of the existing shop -see attached
drawing).
Remodel the remainder of the shop space -south side for Parks, Carpentry and Central
Purchasing.
Replacement greenhouse and construction of material storage bins along the north side-both
open and covered.
To complete the remaining Master Plan improvements, it would cost approximately $8.2 million in 2002
dollars. By re-examining the Master Plan and performing a complete code analysis of the building, we
have set all the remaining Master Plan improvements (including the current project) at $5.4 million. This is
a $2.8 million dollar savings in 2002 dollars.
We have been extremely fortunate to have made the improvements thus far, and realize that future
development will occur based on priority and available funding. We look forward to reviewing the details
during our site visit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PUBLIC WORKS/TIZANSPORT'ATION MASTER PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In the Spring of 1993, the Town of Vail. contracted with Morter Architects, in
association with RNL Design and Fleet Maintenance Consultants to complete a space
needs analysis and master plan for the Department of Public Works/Transportation
Administration and Maintenance Complex. The facility currently houses Streets and
Roads, Fleet Maintenance, Parks, Carpentry, Electrical, Administration and much of
the Transportation Divisions. The Public Works Transportation Complex has been
serving the Town of Vail since its construction in 1979, based on a programming study
completed in 1976. The existing facilities were planned fora 10 to 15 year horizon,
which has elapsed. The purpose of this study was to determine the current and future
needs of the department, and develop a master plan to meet the identified needs for the
next 10 to 20 years.
METHODOLOGY
The study was completed in several phases. First, the existing Administration and
Maintenance Buildings were analyzed with regard to adequacy of the architecture,
structure, mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems. Beaudin Ganze
Consulting Engineers assisted in the evaluations. A site tour and series of interviews
followed to determine current and future space needs. Normal operations were viewed
to assess the adequacy and/or deficiencies of the existing facilities in meeting current
needs. A space needs program and design criteria were developed from the data
collected, and reviewed with members of the department.
The second phase of the project was analysis of the site opportunities and constraints,
followed by alternative master plan studies and development of the recommended
master plan included in this report. Most of the work was accomplished during an
"On-Site Design Session" held at the Public Works/'T'ransportation Complex July 12-
15, 1993. 'The Design Team spent four days brainstorming, designing, drawing and
refining master plan concepts, with daily reviews with Town of Vail employees at all
levels. Public Works department heads, supervisors, mechanics, equipment operators,
bus drivers, etc. provided input on the plans, as did members of other departments
including Police, Fire and Community Development. Subsequent review comments by
the Public Works Department have fiirther refined the program and plan.

As the project continues to unfold over the next several years there will be on-going
interface with the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and the Design
Review Board (DRIl). Since the project site is zoned "Public Use" all work that is
proposed to take place at the site will require a conditional use permit which will
require approval of both the PEC and DRB. In addition, any proposal changes or
updates to the master plan will also require PEC and Town Council approval.
As of this writing, a civil engineering study of the site is currently underway to access
and analyze the site drainage, debri flow mitigation and site grading. The study is
addressing many of the environmental concerns expressed at the January 10, 1994
Planning and Environmental Commission meeting. The results of the study will be
incorporated into the final Master Plan Report. In addition to this current work a
geotechnical analysis has also been completed.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Vail Public Works/Transportation Department currently operates from several sites
within the town. Most facilities are located at the Public Works Complex north of
Interstate 70 between the east and main Vail interchanges. Some Transportation offices
and bus operations (driver changes, etc.) are located at the Vail Transportation Center
south of I-70 just east of the main Vail interchange. The Old Town shop (former
location of the Public Works operations) is used for storage of electrical supplies, light
poles, street signs, fire equipment, trailers arrd other equipment/material.
This study focuses on the expansion and improvement of the main facility. While the
Transportation Center will continue to be used as a satellite facility for bus operations,
it is anticipated the Old Town Shop site will be needed for future expansion. of the Vail
Wastewater Department and will not be available for use by Public Works on a long
term basis. The proposed program and master plan consolidates the activities from the
Old Town Shop to the main Public Works Complex.
The Town of Vail owns approximately 17 acres of land at the Public Works Complex,
and leases an adjacent parcel on the west for snow storage. Currently, the utilized area
of the site is approximately 7.7 acres; 6.5 acres consumed by buildings, parking and
circulation, while 1.2 acres at the west side of the site begin the snow melt area. There
are currently three main buildings (Administration, Maintenance/Bus Barn, arrd Bus
Wash) plus numerous small storage buildings arrd trailers. Parking and circulation
generally occur along the south side of the site. The north side of the site is used for
materials storage, staging, the Police Impound Lot and CDL training course.
The Town of Vail. has grown and changed significantly since Public Works moved to
its current location, and the site and facilities are in need of improvements to operate
efficiently. Safety regulations regarding shop and working environments, fuel types
and storage, etc. have also become stricter. Divisions such as Parks continue to expand
as the Town of Vail creates more parks and increases planting areas, as does the
complexity of the sr10W plowing operation as the town becomes denser. As
environmental laws become more stringent it is also important for the Town to upgrade
many of its facilities for storing and handling hazardous materials including fuels,
paints, solvents, pesticides, etc. Following are some of the existing deficiencies which
should be corrected.
3
Site Issues
Improve site security and lighting
Upgrade existing fuel tanks to meet regulations
Organize and protect materials and implements stored outside
Improve vehicular circulation to avoid disruption of traffic flow by cueing
Improve site access -under and onto highway
Minimize visibility impacts (grading, construction, buildings, lighting)
Improve landscaping (Town of Vail landscape study)
Buildin Issues
Improve ventilation and lighting in work areas
Provide adequate space for offices, shops, crew areas and storage
Provide designated space for large crew and safety meetings
Expand bus facilities (garage, work bays, fueling). to accommodate longer buses
Improve durability of exterior materials (governed by Town of Vail zoning
ordinances)
Health and Safetv Issues
Improve the Welding Shop -increase size and ventilation
Upgrade Fleet Maintenance pit to meet regulations
Upgrade waste oil and hazardous material storage and handling to meet
regulations
Improve separation between shops anal office/crew areas -noise and ventilation
Mechanical and Electrical Issues
Upgrade the Administration Building Heating
Correct code violations in the main electrical services
Correct code deficiencies in the maintenance shops
Operational Issues
Provide common loading dock and staging area for deliveries
Provide sufficient space for efficient operation/maintenance areas, storage
Consolidate manager and engineer offices in the Administration Building
Consolidate bus driver areas with the bus barn
4
SPACE NEEDS
The programming phase of t111s study identified a need ,for additional space at the
Public Works/Transportation Complex. The net increase required is approximately 2.5
acres, including activities consolidated from the Old Town Shop. Shop/Maintenance
areas and enclosed storage make up the greatest percentage of increase, totaling
approximately 48,000 square feet of space. Additional office and administrative
support areas account for 4500 square feet required over the next ten years. The total
additional building area required is approximately 52,000 square feet.
Covered storage and parking areas also need to be enlarged by 11,500 square feet.
This is caused mostly by the need to increase efficiency and reduce wear on equipment,
vehicles and materials left exposed t.o the harsh weather season after season. Very little
of the increase is caused by growth. in equipment or vehicle inventories. 'lo provide
access to covered parking and storage areas, reduce congestion on the south side of the
Maintenance Building and maintain a safe, organized traffic flow, the area dedicated to
site circulation must also increase significantly.
The justification for space increases are easy to see by observing daily operations. It is
difficult to check and service buses in the garage because there is only about three feet
between the back of one bus and the front of the next. Space at the end of maintenance
bays in the Meet and Streets shops is utilized for equipment storage, welding and
equipment repair, tool cribs and locker areas, reducing the depth available for parking
and servicing large vehicles. The carpentry shop equipment is all on wheels because
there is not enough space to leave equipment set up for operation. Time consuming
trips to purchase supplies are common because a lack of wood stvrage space. The
electrical division currently stores most of its materials and does some of its work at the
Old Town Shop due to lack of space in tlae Maintenance Building.
A summary of the Public Works/Transportation program is included on the next two
pages. Existing and proposed future areas are identified for each division and space
type.

RECOMMENDED R'IASTER PLAP+1
The recommended site master plan reuses and expands tl~e existing site and buildings.
To provide additional area for buildings, parking and storage, it is proposed to enlarge
the usable site area from 7.7 acres to 10.2 acres, a net increase of 2.5 acres. The berm
and landscape screening on the south edge of the site will be retained. All expansion
will occur by carving irrto the hillside north of the existing facilities. The north edge of
the usable site area will be moved from 25 to 100 feet north of the Maintenance/Bus
Barn Building, averaging approximately 60 feet. A combination of storage building
and retaining walls will line the north site edge, with some regrading required beyond
the retaining structures. Site sections are included showing the proposed
reconi"iguration of the north. site edge. A civil engineering study is currently underway
to study the regrading issues in greater detail.
Within the expanded site, additions are proposed on the west side of the Administrative
Building and on the east, north and west sides of the Maintenance/Bus Barn Building.
The existing fuel islands, tank farms and bus wash facilities are removed and replaced
with new facilities on the east side of the bus barn. The expansion to the north of the
existing shops provides additional shop and maintenance areas, and additional depth in
the bus garage will accommodate longer buses.
Most of the proposed development will not be visible beyond the site boundaries. The
Maintenance/Bus Barn Building addition anal new covered parking and storage areas
will be hidden by the existing building. The addition to the Administrative Building
may be visible from the east, and the proposed employee house at the east end of the
site will probably be visible over the berm. The greenhouse, nursery, covered cinder
storage and construction debris staging will be somewhat visible beyond the west end of
the existing berm. While some changes will be visible on the site during various
construction phases, no objectionable long term visual impacts are expected from the
proposed site development.
In addition to providing improved facilities for Public Works/Transportation
operations, the master plan provides additional and/or enhanced amenities for the Town
of Vail. The following services will be accommodated on the expanded site:
Cinder recycling
Christmas tree chipping and recycling as landscape mulch
Improved oil/water separation and hazardous waste handling
Alternative fuels facilities for town vehicles
Enhanced landscaping along the existing south berm
Affordable employee housing units
8
As -part of the Master flan there are many environmental issues which will need to be
addressed including the storage and handling of hazardous materials which are
commonly found at a complex such as this. At the present time there are four divisions
that generate or use hazardous materials -Fleet Maintenance, Carpentry, Parks and
Streets. The typical hazardous materials found at the site include fuel, waste oil,
paints, thinners, solvents, cleaners, battery acid, antifreeze, pesticides, herbicides, etc.
In each case, the storage, handling and disposal of these materials is currently handled
somewhat differently. Some materials are stored in barrels and held on site, some are
stored for only one or two months and then hauled away to a disposal site and some
materials are handled and hauled away by a private contractor. Improvements, both in
the area of secondary containment systems and in operating procedures will be required
and will need to be addressed as part of the proposed improvements at the site.
Finally, it should be noted that the effects of establishiT~g a regional transportation
network were also discussed as they relate to the Public Works/Transportation
Complex. If such a system is eventually implemented it is expected that the space
impacts at the Public Works Complex will be minimal. It is anticipated that the entire
bus fleet would be maintained at the Public Works/Transportation Complex which the
facility will be capable of handling. The main operations (storage, drivers room,
fueling) however, would be located down valley and therefore will not effect the site.

PR®JECT PHASING & BUDGET
The building expansions and site plan development is expected to occur over the next
six to ten years. The phasing is required to keep the site operational and due to funding
constraints. Expansion of the site to the north must be accomplished first to provide
space for the other site improvements. Other development can occur based on the
priority of space needs and available funding.
Construction of the covered parking and storage areas along the north edge of the space
will provide space for staging during renovation and expansion of the shops facilities.
The Bus Barn expansion needs to precede purchase of longer buses, and replacement of
the fueling facilities and. tank farm is linked to government regulations and expiration
of the Town of Vail's current fuel supply contract. The expansion and renovation of
the Administrative Building can occur whenever funding is available, as can the
development of employee parking. A proposed phasing plan follows with a respective
conceptual cost estimate for budgeting.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 10, 1994
SUBJECT: A request for an approval of the master plan to allow for an expansion
and renovation of the Town of Vail Public Works site located at 1309
Vail Valley Drive/an unplatted parcel north of the I-70 right-of-way,
located immediately north of Vail Village 8th Filing.
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Town of Vail has hired consultants to provide a master plan for the Public Works facility.
The plan anticipates the needs of tl~e public works facility for the next ten to twenty years. It
is based on a thorough analysis of current personne! needs, future personnel needs, and the
facilities required for day to day operations. The plan calls for approximately 4,500 square
feet of additional office area and 48,000 square feet of interior shop/maintenance area. The
total additional building area called for by the master plan is approximately 52,000 square feet.
'these expansions require a net increase in site area of 2.5 acres, All of this expansion will
occur by excavating into the hillside north of the existing facilities. The north edge of the
useable site area will be shifted approximately 25 to 100 feet north behind the existing
maintenance/bus barn building. One of tare goals of the designers of the site plan is to ensure
that the additions, the parking areas, and storage areas be hidden by the existing building or
the existing berms. It is noted in the executive summary that the addition to the administration
building may be visible from the east, and the proposed employee housing at the east end of
tl~e site will probably be visible over the berm. Another significant component of the master
plan is the creation of an on-ramp onto I-70 westbound. With the addition of the interstate
access, the congestion in the current tunnel-access should be alleviated. Copies of the
executive summary as well as the complete master plan are attached for the PEC's review.
ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION
Below is the list of the planning concerns after review of the document.
We believe that a section should be added to the master plan identifying the
process to be used for development of the site. This section shauld document
the planning process used for each specific component of the master plan. It
wilt be important to note that all improvements are allowed only as a conditional
use, and will require conditional use approval by the Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC). In some cases, variances may be needed,
and those also must be approved by the PEC. During the PEC review, it will
be important to note that significant changes to the master plan may be
required once detailed drawings have been completed for specific components.
2. One of the most significant concerns of the planning staff relates to water
quality. Because the Public Works facility includes facilities such as gas tanks,
paint booths, bus washing and parking lots, there is potential for environmental
pollutants to affect ttris site. Planning staff recommends that a water quality
analysis be done and mitigation improvements be installed to insure that ground
water will not carry pollutants from this site.
3. Staff believes that at the time of specific conditional use reviews, the section
drawings provided in the master plan should be expanded to indicate the
interstate and residential areas. At that time, it should be verified that the
proposed improvements do not create highly visible site disturbance or visual
~mn?r+~
4. The parking area by the Administration Building is shown to ascend the slope
and may create scarring. Staff believes that parking ire this area may need to
be relocated, if the cut and fill required and visual impacts to neighbors to the
south are too great.
5. Hazard evaluation must be done for each component and it is strongly
recommended that internal mitigation be provided. Alternatives to internal
mitigation may be considered if site and visual impacts are minimal.
6. Staff understands that the employee housing was to be done as Phase VI,
which would be the last phase. Staff recommends that this be shifted up into
one of the first two phases. Phase I as housing is a critical need of the
community. The number of employee units may also be increased upon further
design work.
7. Staff believes all site lighting should be fully cut-off. In ttre case any light
fixtures are selected which are not fully cut-off, they shall conform to the
recently adopted lighting ordinance (Section 18.54.050 (J)).
III. ENVIRQNMENTAL HEALTH COMMENTS
Environmental Health asks that the following design issues be addressed in the Public Works
Master Plan.
1. We would strongly recommend that secondary containment be provided for
both hazardous materials storage and hazardous or special wastes. Secondary
containment is intended to catch spills that might occur. Containment must be
large enough to hold the total volume of hazardous waste stored.
2. All above ground tanks for hazardous waste or materials (e.g., oil, gas, solvent)
should have automatic shut off valves which would prevent overflows of
2
containers. Also, all above ground tanks should have adequate guarding to
prevent rupture in the event a vehicle would hit the tanks.
3. Public Works may be a small quantity generator of hazardous waste (40 C.F.R
261.5) producing less than 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) a month. If Public
Works produces between 100 and 1000 kilograms of waste per month than
they may store 1,000 kilograms (13,200 pounds) for up to 180 days with out a
permit. If the waste is to be shipped over 200 miles the waste may be stored
for up to 2T0 days. If public works produces less than 100 kilograms/month
they are exempt from RCRA but can not accumulate over 1,000 kilograms at
any time. Public Works needs to quantify tl~e type and amount of hazardous
waste generated to determine the necessary facilities and disposal
requirements for (heir facility.
4. Drainage from the site should be mitigated through a detention pond or facility

J
off from roads, residential, and commercial areas does negatively affect water
' quality in the Gore. Providing a grassy detention area or an engineered catch
basin or a sediment retention system is necessary to reduce nonpoint source
impact from the Public Works facility.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the PEC approve this master plan, with the understandings outlined
above. If these concerns are incorporated into the master plan, staff believes that it should be
approved.

not previous) caster plan the municipal complex which would have bee he best
location for the lipad. Diana feels that Town Council should come with a solution
to this issue. Dian believes that the current site is workable as op sed to moving
the helipad into a res ential area.

heavily used and that its nos.inappropriate to have a helico er coming and going
from this area. He wo ered whether a helipad could be locate on top of the new
police addition when ' is completed. He felt that further considera ' n should also be
given to the existi site.

Andy Knudtsen made a presentation per the staff memo. He said that the master plan
ca-Is for approximately 52,000 square feet of additional floor area. He also
summarized the issues for the PEC to consider in reviewing this request and
environmental health comments. He stated that staff is recommending approval of this

master plan if the issues that have been raised in the staff memo can be incorporated
into the report and be adequately addressed.
Diana Donovan inquired about the access plan via I-70.
Kristen Hedberg said that it was envisioned to be a one-way on ramp used primary for
snow removal or emergency situations that may arise.
Dalton Williams inquired why only three employee housing units were being proposed.
Greg Hall stated that a poll of Public Works Department employees was conducted
and that there was not a large desire by employees to live on-site.
Dalton Williams stated that three employee housing units did not seem to be cost
effective.
Andy Knudtsen stated that the Housing Authority has previously looked at the site and
that there are constraints that limit the amount of housing that could be built.
I<risten Hedberg explained that the housing was envisioned for people who traveled
long distances or who needed to work during inclement weather situations, etc.
Greg Hall stated that this housing would not be used year round.
Larry Grafel stated that they felt it was positive to add employee housing units to the
Town and that the number of three units proposed was arbitrary..
Dalton Williams said that he did not have significant problems with the proposed
master plan but that the housing should be deleted from the plan. Fie stated that the
proposed exit onto I-70 would not be viewed favorably by the community. He stated
that the proposed building was cutting back into the hillside too much and chat it
needed to be more heavily screened. He added that he did not feel that this was the
time to be taking a large Public Worlcs project through the Town right now due to the
present political environment within the community. He said that the community would
like-fo see an employee Housing project built by ifie Town prior to the Town. embarking
on another venture to increase infrastructure.
Allison Lassoe agreed with Dalton's comments concerning the proposed number of
employee housing units for the Public Works site. She would like to see the masker
plan prioritized to address issues that need to be taken care of first and that the items
which are functioning to be lower on this list.
Kristen Hedberg stated that they envisioned phasing the project in just such a
prioritized manner and that this is why the administrative office expansion would be in
the latter phases of the master plan.

Jeff Bowen suggested that the master plan should look further into the future. He said
that he was not in favor of an I-70 access for just the Public Works facility. He added
that the environmental concerns were important and should be addressed in Phase I.
Diana Donovan said the existing ditch/road above the site should be added to the
plans as a reference point. She was most concerned with the site disturbance that
could result from this master plan. She said that she was in favor of employee
housing on this site and that possibly it could be built into the hillside to reduce the
'~ noise impacts from the shops, snowplows, etc. She said the green house should be
made with nonreflective glass. She suggested that the impound lot be stacked above
the other parking lot to reduce site impacts. She added that she would like to see this
project done right, even if it does mean spending a bit more money to get what needs
to be done accomplished. She said that the Town should keep in mind the message
that each project or addition sends to the public. She felt that ideally, a public parking
structure could be located at the Public Works site with a tram connecting skiers to

Bill Anderson stated that he agreed with Diana's comments concerning employee
housing units. He asked how large the proposed units would be.
Kirk Aker responded that the employee housing units were proposed to be two-
bedroom units.
Bill Anderson stated that thought should be given to all the potential uses this site
could accommodate in the future (i.e. the possibility of a helipad, additional employee
housing units, etc.). He felt that an improved entry on the east end of the site made
the most sense to him instead of ari I-70 access point.
Susie Hervert stated that they had given considerable time and thought to
brainstorming about potential uses for this site.
Dalton Williams inquired whaf would become of the bus facilities if a light rail system
was implemenfied at some future date.
Greg Hall stated that a separate light rail facility would be required.
Greg Amsden stated that the proposed employee housing is needed. He said that the
expansion of the Public Works site is the beginning of an expansion in infrastructure
that will be occurring the next five years throughout the valley as our community
continues to grow.
Jeff Bowen made a motion to recommend approval to Town Council the master plan to
allow for an expansion and renovation of the Town of Vail Public Works site per the
staff memo and PEC comments made at the meeting with Dalton Williams seconding
the motion.

would like to see more than three employee housing units located on this site.
A 6-0 vote approved this request.
Diana Donovan inquired whether the proposed I-70 access would remain in the master
plan.
Larry Grafel stated it was not budgeted and if it was done, it would be the last part of
the plan to be completed. He emphasized that this was a concept.
Diana Donovan cautioned that this item would not be well received by the public.
The staff and PEC agreed that it would be shown as a conceptual idea only.

Andy Knudtsen made a Ares tation per the staff me and stated that staff was
recommending approval to ame Section 18.69.05 of the Town of Vail Zoning Code.
Jeff Bowen stated that he was in favo f thi mendment to the zoning code but that
he would like the Town to begin restrictin eveloprnent in areas greater than 30%.
Diana Donovan inquired whether th a was a re on that the Hillside Residential zone
district was left out of this sectio .
Kristan Pritz stated that th' section was originally added the Zoning Code to
facilitate better design steep slopes for single farnily and lex developments.
She said that the n intent was that owners of lots with steep slopes did have
options and that a Design Review Board and Town Engineer ha o agree with the
proposed sol on.
Diana novan made a motion to approve this request to amend Section 1 .9.050 of
the own of Vail Zoning Code with Dalton Williams seconding the motion. A 6- vote

MEMORANDUM
TO: .Vail Town Council
FROM: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
RE: Joint Meeting with the Vail Recreation District (VRD)
DATE: June 4, 2002
We have scheduled an hour to meet with the Vail Recreation District (VRD) new
board on Tuesday afternoon. Based on my attendance at the VRD meeting last
Tuesday, it is my expectation that the .bulk of this discussion will be focused on
the ice bubble at the golf course. As we have discussed, it is necessary for the
town to understand the VRD's position with respect to operating the bubble for
the coming season before we can move forward. It is also my expectation that
most of the discussion on the ice dome will focus on the annual cost of
installation and teardown.
Assuming the VRD wishes to move forward, Matt Mire and Russell Forrest will be
prepared to discuss the procedures necessary to properly permit this facility on
June 18tH
To: Vail Town Council
From: Russ Forrest and Matt Mire
Date: May 21, 2002
Subject: Seasonal Ice-Skating Rink & Structure at the Vail Golf Course
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this memo is to review options regarding continuing to site a
seasonal ice rink and structure at the Vail Golf Course. Attached is additional
background information on the previous rezoning attempt. If the Town Council
wants to place the "bubble" on the Vail Golf Course in the 2002/2003 winter
season, the Town would need to begin the application process in July or August
of 2002.
2. BACKGROUND.
The Vail Golf Course's driving range has been the home to an outdoor ice-
skating facility for many years. In 2000, the Town initiated an application fora
temporary cover over a refrigerated ice skating rink at this same location. This
process involved rezoning the driving range to General Use which is the same
zoning as the Golf Course club house. The General Use District allows
temporary structures if a conditional use permit is approved. On September 25,
2000, the PEC unanimously voted to approve the request for a conditional use
permit with the nine conditions outlined below:
All mechanical equipment associated with the rink must be fully screened.
If possible, the equipment should be moved to the north side of the rink.
2. If traffic or parking issues arise, the approval will be called up for
additional review by the PEC.
3. The noise output of the rink and its associated equipment will be the
lesser of the 55db (day) / 50db (night) output allowed under the town's
noise ordinance, or the existing noise output of I-70 traffic. This will be
confirmed by town staff with noise monitoring equipment.
4. The parking lot must be maintained at all times for use at full capacity
(110 spaces). No snow storage (or business activities) can be
accommodated within the parking lot.
5. This conditional use permit will be valid between the dates of November
1st through April 1st (annually) from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily.
6. This approval is for a limited time period beginning November 1st, 2000
and ending April 1st, 2002.
7. Full compliance with Town building ordinances and the Uniform Building
Code must be demonstrated by the applicant.
8. Scheduling and use of the rink (through the Vail Recreation District) will
be open to the general public.
9. As required under the proposed General Use zoning, any future
additional land uses or activities on this site must go through the
conditional use permit review process.
An appeal on the conditional use permit was heard by the Town Council on
October 24, 2000 and the Town Council voted to uphold the PEC decision. On
November 7, 2000, the Town Council approved the rezoning of the property from
Outdoor Recreation to General Use.
3. CURRENT ZONING AND PROTECTIVE COVENANTS
Since the rezoning to General Use was nullified by the court, the property is
currently zoned Outdoor Recreation. The intent of the OR zone district is to
"preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while
permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and
passive recreation areas, facilities and uses." The Outdoor Recreation District
encourages recreational uses that do not include enclosed buildings or
structures. Permitted uses include:
• Bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways.
• Interpretive nature walks.
• Nature preserves.
• Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces
Conditional uses include:
• Accessory buildings (permanent and temporary) and uses customarily
incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional outdoor recreational
uses, and necessary for the operation thereof, including restrooms,
drinking fountains, bleachers, concessions, storage buildings, and similar
uses.
• Cemeteries.
• Equestrian trails used only to access National forest system lands.
• Public parks and active public outdoor recreation areas and uses,
excluding buildings.
• Ski lifts, tows and runs.
• Well water treatment facilities.
•#
In comparison the General Use District has the following conditional use
"Seasonal structures or uses to accommodate education, recreational or cultural
activities."
There are also protective covenants for the Golf Course that limit the use of the
site which state the property is: "to be used in perpetuity for a public golf course
or open space or park for the benefit of the public and only such other related
support facilities required for those purposes."
4. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
The Vail Recreation District and the Town of Vail Public Works Department have
worked together to install and take down the temporary structure on an annual
basis. The original cost to acquire and install the bubble was approximately
$910,000. The annual cost for installation and operation of the bubble is
$104,150/year excluding labor costs ($24,000).. This cost is paid by the Vail
Recreation District. The Vail Recreation District also paid for $50,550 in site
improvements. The Town of Vail also pays for $20,000 in labor costs to assist in
the annual put-up and take-down of the bubble. The life span of the bubble is 5-
8years. In terms of user input on the facility, the Vail Recreation District
received very favorable input from skaters and hockey teams on the use of the
facility.
5. OPTIONS
Since the outcome of the lawsuit spoke to procedural issues versus whether the
rink was appropriate or not, the Town can consider locating the temporary ice
dome on this site. The options for. moving forward include:
Option A: Rezone the property to General Use and simultaneously apply for
a conditional use permit for the temporary structure.
Considerations: Some of the neighbors expressed concern with the
General Use District since a variety of conditional uses could be
considered for the property i.e. parking, affordable housing, etc.
These other uses would be inconsistent with the land use plan which
designates this property as "park."
• .Option B: Amend the Outdoor Recreation Zone District to include temporary
recreational structures as a conditional use. Then apply for a conditional use
for that site. This would also provide the opportunity in the future to apply for
temporary structures on other Outdoor Recreation sites in the Town of Vail
i.e. Stephens Park, Bighorn Bark, Ellefson Park, Buffer Creek Park ....)
Considerations: Option B would add seasonal structures to all
Outdoor Recreation zoned lands and could raise concerns in many
areas of the Town where this zoning is applied to Town Parks.
Adding seasonal structures as a conditional use to the Outdoor
Recreation Zone District is inconsistent with the purpose statement of
the District.
• Option C: Add golf courses as a conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation
Zone District and add a definition for golf courses in section 12-8B-4 that
explicitly allows "seasonal structures or uses to accommodate recreational
activities on Golf Courses." This would limit the application of seasonal
structures to golf courses versus all the other OR zoned lands in Vail.
Considerations: Option C may be attractive in that it does not rezone
the Golf Course and the application of temporary structures would be
limited to Golf Courses which only exist currently at the Vail Golf
Course. This option should negate the concerns identified in option B.
Although there still may be an issue with this new definition for golf
courses and the purpose statement for the OR Zone District. .Staff
could further evaluate whether a minor change would be needed to
purpose statement of the OR Zone District.
Option D: Don't pursue a temporary structure on the property for ice-skating.
The bubble could be sold (several offers have been made), or relocated. Ford
Park was also evaluated as a site. The major reason the dome was located
at the Golf Course was that there was already a location for the zambonie
(from the outdoor rink) and there was parking for the facility. Another site that
was considered for the dome was Donovan Park. However, the soccer field
at Donovan is too small to support the dome.
Consideration: The affect of this option would be to eliminate covered
ice skating at the Golf Course. This option would eliminate the
operational cost of the facility. Also several parties down valley have
expressed interest in purchasing the bubble. This would reduce ice
time in Vail.
Note on DRB Review: Any new application for a bubble will require DRB
approval. Section 12-2-2 defines seasonal structures as:
SEASONAL USE OR STRUCTURE: A temporary covering erected over a
recreational amenity, such as a swimming pool or tennis court, for the
purpose of expanding their use into the cold weather months. Such
seasonal covers may not be in place for more than seven (7) consecutive
months of any twelve (12) month period. For the purposes of this title, a
seasonal use or structure shall not constitute site coverage and shall not
be subject to building bulk control standards. Any seasonal use or
structure shall require a conditional use permit in accord with chapter 16
of this title and is subject to design review.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: September 25, 2000
SUBJECT: A request for a rezoning (from Outdoor Recreation to General Use), a
minor subdivision and a conditional use permit, to allow for the
construction of a seasonal ice hockey rink at the Vail Golf Course, located
at 1778 Vail Valley Drive /Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3.
Town of Vail
Applicant: Vail Junior Hockey Association, Vail Recreation District,
Planner: Brent Wilson
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
This request involves the placement of a recreational ice hockey facility at the
Vail Golf Course adjacent to the existing clubhouse. The structure would be
located where the existing seasonal ice rink is situated, but the proposed new
facility would be entirely enclosed. The subject property is currently zoned
"Outdoor Recreation" (OR). The intent of the OR zone district is to "preserve
undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting
outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive
recreation areas, facilities and uses."~ The OR designation encourages
recreational uses that do not include enclosed buildings or structures. Therefore,
a rezoning to "General Use" is necessary to accommodate an enclosed ice
facility.
The structure is proposed to be 120' x 225' in size and it would be located on the
north side of the clubhouse. Associated mechanical equipment will be enclosed
within a 25' long, 8' wide and 8' tall enclosure located to the northeast of the
clubhouse. This enclosure will be removed once it is no longer required for the
facility operation. A Zamboni will be housed within the golf cart storage facility
inside the clubhouse. Daily hours of operation, according to the Vail Recreation
District, will be from approximately 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from mid-November to
mid-March.
Therefore, the Town of Vail is requesting a rezoning of a portion of the Vail
Golf Course from Outdoor Recreation to General Use and a conditional use
permit to allow for the construction of the "bubble" and appurtenant
equipment. A minor subdivision application request will also need to be
reviewed to legally describe the portion of the Vail Golf Course property to
be rezoned.
I1. BACKGROUND
In pursuing the council's desire to provide an additional enclosed sheet of ice this
winter;. staff examined two options: 1) expanding the existing "General Use"
parcel at the golf course clubhouse to include the proposed site, and; 2) writing a
text amendment to the "Outdoor Recreation" zone district to allow buildings or
structures (seasonal or permanent). The following is a synopsis of the issues
involved with each option.
Expanding the existing "General Use" parcel at the clubhouse
This process is consistent with the way the Town has previously
addressed the need for public buildings that are associated with
recreational uses at the golf course.
All uses in the GU district (other than pedestrian paths and open space)
are conditional uses. This means any proposals for new development
require PEC review and approval at a public hearing. Adjacent property
owners would be notified of hearings. The PEC has the ability to impose
time restrictions or "sunset" provisions on conditional uses.
Future Land Use Designation is "Park" (Vail Land Use Plan) -This
means any future development proposals must be related to recreational
uses. The PEC and staff must ensure this during the conditional use
permit review process.
Amending the Outdoor Recreation Zone District to include "buildings"
This would impact a large number of properties throughout the town
(please refer to the attached map) beyond the scope of this specific
proposal
Many of the areas zoned "Outdoor Recreation" are intended to provide
passive or active recreation opportunities on lands that may not be
suitable for development. The Town's stream tract (between the
International Bridge and the Covered Bridge) is one example.
Master plan provisions (Vail Land Use Plan, Vail Village Master Plan,
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan) may prohibit development on certain
lots that are zoned Outdoor Recreation. Amending the zone district text
would create inconsistencies between the zoning regulations and
applicable master plan documents.
III. REVIEWING BOARD ROLES
The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for:
- Conformance with development standards of zone district
- Lot area
- Setbacks
- Building Height
- Density
- GRFA
- Site coverage
- Landscape area
- Parking and loading
- Mitigation of development impacts
- Compliance with the goals and requirements applicable. Master Plans
The DRB is responsible for evaluating the DRB proposal for:
- Architectural compatibility with other structures, the land and surroundings
- Fitting buildings into landscape
- Configuration of building and grading of a site, which respects the topography
- Removal/Preservation of trees and native vegetation
- Adequate provision for snow storage on-site
- Acceptability of building materials and colors
- Acceptability of roof elements, eaves, overhangs, and other building forms
- Provision of landscape and drainage
- Provision of fencing, walls, and accessory structures
- Circulation and access to a site, including parking, and site distances
- Location and design of satellite dishes
- Provision of outdoor lighting
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Rezoning
Staff recommends that the PEC forward a recommendation of approval of the
applicant's request for a rezoning from "Outdoor Recreation" to "General Use" to
the Vail Town Council, subject to the following finding:
1. That the proposed zone district is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses,
consistent with the Town's Land Use Plan and Zoning Regulations, and
appropriate for the area.
If the PEC chooses to recommend approval of this- request, the Department of
Community Development requests the following condition be placed on the
approval
1. The applicant must process (PEC) and record (Eagle County) an approved
3
final plat to reflect the amended zoning district locations prior to construction
of the facility.
Conditional Use Permit
Staff recommends that the PEC table (to October 9th) the applicant's request for
a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a "seasonal structure to
accommodate recreational activities" and the maintenance of an existing
outdoor recreation area, to allow staff additional time for review of outstanding
relevant issues.
If the PEC chooses to approve the request at this time, staff recommends the
approval be subject to the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of
Chapter 12-16, Town of Vail Code and the purposes of the General Use
district.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of
Chapter 12-16, Town of Vail Code (Conditional Use Permits).
Conditions:
Town staff will closely monitor and measure the sound output of the rink
during peak usage to ensure conformity with the noise ordinance. In
accordance with hourly restrictions described in the town's noise ordinance,
the facility will not be open for use between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00
a.m.
2. The approval of this conditional use permit will become void two years from
today's date (September 25th, 2002). The Planning and Environmental
Commission reserves the right to revoke this approval at any time during this
period if conformance with the criteria for review and conditions of approval
is not demonstrated. This includes provisions for snow clearance and/or
removal.
Minor Subdivision
4
Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission table (to
October 9th) the request for a minor subdivision until additional information is
received.
V. REZONING REQUEST -CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
1) Is the existing zoning suitable with the existing land use on the site and
adjacent land uses?
Staff believes the both the existing and proposed zoning designations are
suitable with the existing and adjacent land uses. The town's intent has been to
provide opportunities for public recreation at this location. Through the
conditional use permit process, staff and the PEC can ensure that all future use
of the site will be compatible with master plan goals and development objectives.
General Use Purpose Statement
The General Use District is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-public
uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately
regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and
for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular
development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes
prescribed in Section 72-7-2 of this Title and to provide for the public. welfare.
The General Use District is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds
and certain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the District are appropriately
located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to
harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other
structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities
appropriate to the permitted types of uses.
2) Is the amendment presenting. a convenient workable relationship with land
uses consistent with municipal objectives?
Through the conditional use permit review process, the PEC can ensure that any
future proposals are consistent with municipal objectives. This review process is
intended to address development impacts such as traffic, parking, noise, hours of
operation, etc. Please refer to Section IV of this memorandum for complete
details.
3) Does the rezoning provide for the growth of an orderly viable community?
In accordance with the provisions of the Town of Vail Zoning and Subdivision
Regulations and Vail's Master Plan Elements, staff believes this rezoning
provides for the growth of an orderly viable community.
4) Is the change consistent with the Land Use Plan?
The Vail Land Use Plan places a future land use designation of "Park" on the
subject property. These types of parcels are intended "for both active recreation
activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas
for various passive recreation- activities." Staff believes a zoning designation of
"General Use" (a district intended for public facilities) is consistent with the goals
and objectives outlined for the "Park" land use category. The following goals
from the Plan are specifically impacted by this proposal:
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve
both the visitor and the permanent resident.
Staff Response -Given the demand demonstrated for public ice at the
Dobson Ice Arena, staff believes the provision of an additional
(temporary) ice facility is consistent with this goal.
1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks
and open space) maybe permitted where no high hazards exist, if such
development is for public use.
Staff Response -This project involves the placement of a public
recreational structure on Town lands. This portion of the golf course
property is not located within any identified geologic hazard areas.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
Staff Response -The subject property is an infill lot.
2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational options to improve
year-round tourism.
Staff Response -This is a non-skier related winter recreational facility.
When coupled with the existing golf course driving range, the property will
provide year-round tourism amenities.
2.6 An additional golf course is needed. The Town should work with the
down valley communities to develop a public golf course as well as other
sports facilities to serve the regional demand for recreational facilities.
Staff Response -the Town has discussed the issue of down-valley ice
facilities with other jurisdictions. Currently, Eagle County and the Town of
Eagle have plans for the construction of additional public ice sheets
down-valley. Additionally, the Town of Vail has plans to construct
additional public ice as part of the "Hub Site" Community Facilities Plan.
However, these are not anticipated to be available for public use within
the next 2-year time frame. Therefore, the Town Council has agreed to
appropriate funding for an additional temporary ice sheet in an effort to
support local and regional demand for public ice for the short term.
2.7 The Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands
while continuing to purchase open space.
Staff Response -The intent behind the enclosure of the existing rink is to
provide an extended period of use (regardless of weather conditions) and
a higher quality ice surface. Staff believes this effort is consistent with
the stated goal of improvement of existing park lands and facilities.
VI. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW
The conditional use permit is necessary for both the "seasonal structure to
accommodate recreational activities" (hockey rink) and the maintenance of the
existing use of the golf course driving range in the summer and fall months. In
accordance with Chapter 12-16 of the Town of Vail Code, an application for a
conditional use permit within the General Use District shall be subject to the
following development factors and criteria:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the
Town.
Applicable goals from the Vail Land Use Plan are outlined in Section III of
this memorandum. Development standards for the General Use zone
district are prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission in
the form of an approved development plan for the project. Staff believes
this proposal is consistent with the intended recreational uses identified
for this site. Compatibility with adjacent residential uses is addressed
under item #3 of this section.
2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public.facilities and public facilities needs.
Transportation facility impacts are addressed below.. Staff believes the
improved ice surface will provide a positive impact upon demonstrated
parks and recreation facility needs. Staff does not believe this proposal
will impact the other above-listed facilities.
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
streets and parking areas.
Summer Traffic -Staff believes there are existing summer golf course
traffic demands placed on Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst Drive that
exceed an acceptable level of service. Clearly, these demands are due
to summer golf course usage and they result in traffic congestion and
occasional safety issues. However, staff believes the driving range is an
accessory to the primary golf course usage and that the range is not a
primary generator of "stand alone" trips. According to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers, we should expect a golf course of this size to
generate approximately 731-754 average daily trips. Assuming each
driving range tee is used 8 times a day, we would anticipate
approximately 400 trips (or 20% of the total estimated Vail Valley Drive
traffic) being generated by the driving range. However, many of these
trips are already attributable to the golf course itself and are considered
"internal." Therefore, staff believes the driving range is a "stand alone"
generator of approximately 15% (or fewer) of the trips along Vail Valley
Drive. Any trips east of the golf course along Sunburst Drive are
generated by residential uses. Town staff is in the process of conducting
traffic counts along Vail Valley Drive to determine peak hour activity and
average daily traffic.
Winter Traffic -Staff believes the enclosed facility will generate a nearly
identical amount of traffic as the existing exposed ice rink. Winter traffic
demand on Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst should fluctuate throughout
the day. As opposed to the peak "shotgun" tee time intervals during
summer use, staff anticipates a more evenly spread volume of traffic
throughout the day with the varied mix of users of the golf course property
during the winter months. According to the Institute of Transportation
Engineers, we should anticipate approximately 268 average daily trips for
a recreation facility of this size. Given the mix of uses at this facility and
the level of interest shown by Vail citizens for winter sports, staff would
anticipate at least a 15% increase over this estimate, bringing the total
average daily trip estimate to approximately 308 average daily trips. Staff
believes this is an acceptable volume (approximately 15.4% of total trips)
for a residential collector road such as Vail Valley Drive /Sunburst Drive.
Summer Parking -There is an existing shortfall of summer parking at the
subject property due to the demand generated by golf course usage.
According to the Vail Recreation District, 240 (or more) cars may be
parked at any given time in the parking lot and along Vail Valley/Sunburst
Drive during peak user periods. These trips are directly attributable to
golf course usage and staff believes the driving range functions as an
accessory to the golf course and is not a primary traffic generator. If the
driving range were to be treated as a primary use (and principal traffic
generator) peak user demand would impose a need for approximately 28
spaces (or 11.6% of peak parking demand).
According to survey data produced by the American Planning
Association, the number of parking spaces required for the golf course
itself should be more than doubled. However, this need is not attributable
to the driving range alone and is not relevant to this specific proposal.
Winter Parking -The Vail Junior Hockey Association states that peak
parking demand for the rink (assuming two teams arriving and two teams
leaving simultaneously and one car per player) is 56 spaces. According
to survey data provided by the American Planning Association, we should
anticipate a peak parking demand of 53 spaces for an enclosed (team
sports) recreation facility of this size. Staff believes an estimate of 58
spaces (during peak periods between practice sessions) is conservative
and realistic. Since the rink is intended for use as a practice facility
(games and events will be held at the Dobson Ice Arena), no additional
parking generation is expected from outside spectator demand, although
limited bleacher seating will be available to accommodate parents,
coaches and guests.
According to the Vail Recreation District, the Nordic Center serves
anywhere from 20-45 daily users during peak periods. It is anticipated
that peak hours of usage at the nordic center will occur earlier in the day
(during the week) than the activity at the hockey rink. However, certain
events (the "5 at 5" for example) will create a demand for nordic center
parking during evening hours. Thus, the conservative estimate of 36
spaces is used for calculating peak parking demand (assuming
carpooling and use of the adjacent bus stop - @ 1.2 persons/vehicle),
although the primary use of the nordic areas is anticipated during the
earlier daylight hours.
The restaurant space at the golf course clubhouse is considered an
accessory use to the golf course and it experiences a decrease in users
when the golf course is closed. It is anticipated that the restaurant will
serve many parents of hockey players while children practice. Therefore,
many of the trips associated with the restaurant should be considered
internal to the hockey rink or nordic center use.
The golf course site also serves as a site for winter sleigh rides.. On its
busiest day, the VRD expects a total of 20 daily sleigh ride customers (or
an assumed peak parking demand of 5 spaces attributable to the sleigh
operation throughout the day).
Summary of Estimated Daily Winter Parking Demand*
Land Use/Activity Anticipated Max. Parking Needs
Hockey Rink 58 spaces
Nordic Center 36 spaces
Restaurant 9 spaces
Sleigh Rides 5 spaces
Total Gross Daily Parking Needs = 108 spaces (gross daily)
(Turnover Factor** @ 10%)
Estimated Peak Parking Needs = 97.2 spaces
Available Parking on Site = 110 spaces
* These figures include anticipated employee parking.
**This factor assumes a length of stay of 6 hours or less (including player
drop-off and pick up) and a fluctuation in hours of peak usage for all uses
on site. This factor also assumes some of the trips to the restaurant will
be associated with nordic center or hockey rink usage. Therefore, there
should be a limited shared parking space occurrence on site.
Staff believes the above-listed parking estimates are very conservative
and reflect aworst-case scenario peak parking demand. However, -staff
believes it is imperative that snowplowing (for the entire lot) and parking
lot maintenance become a key priority at the site. Snow storage should
not be accommodated within the parking lot.
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.
Bulk and Mass -Pursuant to the Vail Town Code (Section 12-2-2), a
seasonal use or structure shall not constitute site coverage and shall not
be subject to building bulk control standards.
For a point of reference, however, the following information is provided:
Building Height
Floor Area
Site Coverage
Setbacks
properties
Parking Spaces
Allowed/Required
per PEC approval

per PEC approval
per PEC approval
per PEC approval
Proposed
approx. 35 feet
28,125 square feet
0 square feet
min. 200' from private
110 spaces
Adjacent properties include duplexes (limited to a maximum of 33' of
building height), and townhouses (limited to a maximum of 38' of building
height). The proposed height of the temporary structure is approximately
35 feet at its highest center portions. Given the setback from the road
and adjacent properties and the location of the proposed structure with
regard to the existing clubhouse, staff believes the bulk and mass are
compatible with the established bulk and mass of adjacent properties.
Noise -The Town's noise ordinance permits a noise level not to exceed
50 dB (nights) and 55 dB (days) in most residential areas (measured 10'
from the noise source on public property). It is anticipated that the
maximum noise output of the rink's associated blower/refrigeration units
is 80 dB. Therefore, the applicant is proposing to enclose the equipment
in an effort to mitigate the aesthetic and noise impacts. However,
documentation of the extent of noise mitigation is not available at this
time. Given the ambiguities in determining the potential noise impacts,
however, staff is recommending a condition of approval that the Town will
measure the sound output of the rink (and its associated mechanical
equipment) during peak usage to ensure conformity with the noise
ordinance. Additionally, it is recommended that the hours of operation be
limited to 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m.
Adjacent neighbors have expressed concerns about the noise generated
by the existing outdoor hockey rink (pucks bumping against dasher
boards, shouting). Staff believes the enclosure of the facility will help to
alleviate some of those noise concerns.
io
VII. SUMMARY OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Staff believes additional time is necessary for adequate review of the following
outstanding issues:
^ Potential floodplain impacts (if applicable).
^ Peak hour traffic counts and average daily traffic for Vail Valley Drive.
^ Compliance with exiting requirements in accordance with building/fire codes.
^ Additional information regarding methods of noise impact mitigation.
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before
granting a conditional use permit:
That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the
purposes of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the
district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental
to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the Zoning Regulations.

RE: Special Events Commission
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to express interest in serving on the Commission on Special Events for the
Town of Vail. I am a full-time resident of the Town of Vail, and have been a member of
the retail community since 1968. In addition to operating retail shops, I have operated
bars and nightclubs, and have lived in Vail Village since 1967.
Previously, I have served eight years each on both the Planning Commission (as it was
called at that time), and the Design Review Board. I am available for regularly
scheduled meetings, and because I live and work in the town, will be available to attend
many of the special events that are the subject of the Commission.
I believe that the Commission on Special Events is an important function of the town,
and that its decisions can set the stage for successful special events in the future. The
Commission is charged with a heavy responsibility because it will control the tone of
events which use public space and directly impact the atmosphere of the town. I think
that it is especially important for the commission to ensure that the events developed
complement existing character and activities within the town.
I would like to do anything that I can to ensure successful public events that are a
positive force in the town for the residents, the business community, and the visitors. I
look forward to discussing the commission activities and my participation on June 4.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Bill Hanlon

To whom it may concern:
My name is Ron Weinstein. I am submitting my name to serve
on the Special Events Commission in Vail. M_y wife and I own
Roxy, a ladies boutique in the Vail village. We also have
stores in Beaver Creek and Denver. We have had our store in
the Vail village for eleven years, and Beaver Creek for seven
years. Patti has been involved in the merchants group in
Beaver Creek for the past several years, and I have focused on
Vail.
I became involved in the Vail Village Merchants Association
several years ago, serving on that board as we became more
actively involved in representing the interests of the merchants
in the village. We put together, and ran, the Chili CookOff
weekend, as well as other events, such as the River Dance
International Dance Festival. I was also involved in
establishing the Vail Guide five years ago, and now head the
committee that oversees that publication through the VCBA, of
which I am a board member.
If I can be of any assistance in helping direct special events in
Vail, I would be happy to contribute.
Sincerely,

Dear Lorelei:
Please take this as my Letter of interest for a position on the Special Events Commission.
While my experience with Special Events is on a non professional level, it is a subject of
long interest to me. The Vail Village. Merchants' Association was responsible for
bringing the Chili Cook Off to Vail. We also created the Family Fest which subsequently
became the Sports Fest. The River Dance performance at the base of chair 1 was part of
the International Fest that we started. Please keep in mind that these events were
sponsored with a minimum of funding and a 100% volunteer work effort. These events
were eventually turned over to the Special Events Commission on the theory that they
had become annual events and as a result. have since been managed by professional
promoters.
Four years ago, the VVMA started the Friday night Block Parties which have been a
huge success. This event continued after the Chamber merger and is still managed by
our organization. In addition, we have a major event that. we are about. to finalize for
Labor. Day.

Pam Brandmeyer
Assistant Town Manager
75 S. Frontage Rd.
Vail CO 81657
Dear Pam,
This letter is in reply to the Town Council's request for applicants regarding the
Commission on Special Events. It servers to inform the Council of my qualifications and
to support my character as an applicant.
My name is Benjamin Christensen. The article in the Vail Daily (Sunday May 26
edition) brought my attention to this opportunity. I feel the best method of providing my
information is to give you my background, then my relevant experience, and finally my
intent in applying for said position.
Born and raised in Maine, I graduated with honors from the University of Maine (Orono)
in 1999 with a major in Sociology and minor in Business Administration. Shortly there
after, I moved to Colorado and begun work at Beaver Creek Resort in guest services.
Since 1999, with the exception of the summer of 2000, I have made the Vail Valley my
home (during the summer of 2000, I worked in South San Francisco, CA at the California
Golf Club, as Pro Shop Assistant Manager). Currently, I reside in East Vail and am
under the employ of Vail Spa Condominiums as Sales Manager and Front Office
Manager (please note Vail Spa does NOT receive town funding). Future plans find me
with express intent to remain in Vail and to continue cultivating my ties with the
community. The Commission of Special Events provides an opportunity in this respect
to pursue my personal goals.
Relevant experience is understandably a very important issue. Please note that I am
twenty-five years of age and would like to point out that my experiences may be' limited
in comparison to others, but the quality of my work has been consistently outstanding
(please contact my references, provided below, as they will support this statement).
During my employment at Beaver Creek Resort, I worked hands on in the development,
coordination and implementation phases of on-mountain guest services. This included
assisting with race and charity events, private and public group tour planning, production
and distribution of public relations materials, and provided assistance for all on-mountain
activities on a daily basis. In short, during my two seasons with Beaver Creek resort
(earning employee of the month awards both seasons), I spent roughly 95% of my time
interacting with consumers through activities that facilitated their vacation experiences.
While in California, I worked for one of the most prestigious private golf courses in the
San Francisco area, the California Golf Club. During my seasonal stint there, I
k. ~
participated in the planning and hosting of major golf tournaments on a monthly basis
and of minor tournaments on a weekly basis. Additionally, I participated in the hosting
of the children's day golf camp, which provide young athletes the opportunity to explore
their abilities for golf. Here I learned a great deal in the operations of a first class golf
club, host to the 1999 U.S. Open Qualifiers (along with San Francisco Golf Club and
Pebble Beach). Currently, I have found a fitting niche for myself at Vail Spa
Condominiums. During my time here, I have planned events surrounding the activities of
my group sales clientele, participated in the local marketing and sales meetings, been an
active member in the [private] micro-marketing group Vail Select, and been privy to a
number of other activities directly related to business in our town. Additionally, I
regularly develop and produce marketing and sales reports based on data from area
businesses (for internal use) as well as interact on a daily basis with people visiting the
Vail Valley. This position is year-round, full-time and provides me with an occupation I
am very content with. Overall, my experiences are limited in number. The quality of
work and the energy I have applied to these positions has been anything but limited. A
position on the newly formed Commission on Special Events would provide me the
opportunity to exercise my skills in a more public arena and focus on more community-
driven goals. This I hope will further my ties with the community I work, play and live
in.
And in short, the above statement is one of my major personal objectives in applying for
a position with the Commission of Special Events. However, an equally large part on my
intent is based on the feelings I have for the Town of Vail in general. I came to this area
with my only goal to be a ski-bum for six months and then go get a "real" job. This
perspective, that at some point a "real" job would be necessary, is one originally
supported by my parents. Over that first six months, I realized that the Vail Valley has
much more to offer than just aski-bum's paradise (I did in fact ski 130 days that first
season). In this time I came to a new understanding about this area and life in general. In
regards to life, finding a balance between your self, your job and your community is of
utmost importance. Concerning this area, I find this to be a very special place where the
concept of a "real" job is more related to the role you play rather than the compensation
you receive. We are a diverse community that provides a setting for people of all walks
of life the opportunity to share a truly unique experience with nature. In this respect, our
community is an ambassador to Mother Nature. This is a value of our town that I
understand and respect. We must also recognize that constant change motivates our
community to adapt in business ways that continue to attract the "meat and potatoes" of
our town (our ability to bring business to Vail is ultimately the basis for our economic
vitality). Also, the people who live and grow in this valley are nothing short of
extraordinary. For example, the other day while riding the town bus I sat across from
some young children of Spanish or Mexican ethnicity. These young people (I would
guess 8-12 years of age) were in the middle of a conversation related to some topic in
their age group. The thing that caught my attention and blew my mind was the manner in
which these young people carried on with their conversation. They switched from fluent
Spanish/Mexican to unaccented English and back in mid-sentence, without missing a
beat! To me, to witness this was an extraordinary experience in itself. To know that we
have aptitude of this caliber in our community gives me great respect for the social group
we've become. The people and the place, in regards to the Town of Vail, are things I
very much enjoy and want to interact with. The things we do in our community to attract
people from far away as well as to entertain the people we live among are of great
importance. The events we host and the way people respond to such events plays a major
role in influencing how our town is perceived and how people relate to our community. I
see a position with the Commission on Special Events as an opportunity to bring events
to this town that will make locals proud to host and visitors- happy to attend. My intent is
honest, loyal and always with the Town's benefit in mind. I look at such a position as a
way for me personally to become a larger part of the Vail community and to further it's
success economically and socially.
In closing, thank you for taking your time and energy to review my letter of intent. A
position with the Commission on Special Events for the Town of Vail is one I am
interested in attaining. My ability to perform this function for our town is evident in the
qualifications listed above and my character as a member of the Vail community. I look
forward to hearing from you and humbly await your response.
Respectfully,
i~~l

Deaz Pam:
Thank you for your time on the phone yesterday. I am writing to express my interest in serving on
the Commission on Special Events. As we discussed I meet the criteria for membership. I am a
resident and soon to be homeowner in the Town of Vail..
I presently work for Vail Resorts in the Security Department. I am the lead in the Communication
Center. I have been in this position since January of 2001. Before that I worked in the trade
show/convention industry. I was the General Manager/C-perating Partner of Convention Channel,
Incorporated. Convention Channel is a tradeshow multimedia/marketing firm. Over the course of
my tenure with the company I worked at over 300 conventions. I understand how to make an
event successful, how to have contingency plans and make sure that the attendees are always
satisfied.
I also have other live event experience. I was a consultant to numerous live music venues, helping
them with booking bands and the mazketing of events. I also started and operated my own record
label and produced a number of internationally released CDs. Along with this experience I was a
producer/director for videos/films and live performances, both in the commercial realm and the
non-profit art world.
Since moving to Vail I have been looking for an opportunity to "get involved" in the community
and local government My wife and I made a conscious effort to purchase our house inside the
Town of Vail so that we could both contribute to our community. I believe that the Commission
on Special Events is a great opportunity for me to do my part for the town.
Thanks for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully
working together on this important Commission.
Sincerely,
' P~ _._...___.

Summer Olympics in conjunction with a statewide Olympic promotional campaign for
Comerica Bank-Texas; helped coordinate three Dallas Dash for the Disabled lOk runs

I am an enthusiastic supporter of events at the Vilar Amphitheater, the Mountain Biking
Championships and the World Cup skiing events. Vail has so much to offer all year and I
would be very interested in helping to promote it to the world!

Endowlnent committee. I chaired the live auction for their annual gala for 3 years, each time raising more

Dear Ms. Brandmeyer:
This letter should serve as a letter of interest for the Commission on Special Events. I recently
graduated from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado with a degree in Marketing,
and am currently taking a course in Resort Tourism Management. I also own and operate a local
window cleaning business, Advantage Window Cleaning, INC. Having grown up in the Vail Valley with
parents in the restaurant business, I have experienced first hand the negative effects on revenue during
the shoulder season.
Living in the large community of Boulder for the past four years has been an excellent opportunity for
me to see the ways in which a young community can grow. I feel as though I can contribute, to the
Commission on Special Events creative ways to attract alternative, filler markets, during periods of low
demand.
Sincerely,
Sunny M. Ricci

I wish to be considered for a position on the Commission on Special Events. Because of my
degree in Marketing and business background, I think I am uniquely qualified to serve. I have
had businesses in Vail and Telluride. I currently have businesses in Silverthorne, Steamboat
Springs, and Minturn. I have been keenly observant watching what works and doesn't work as
far as promotions are concerned in these communities. I would bring to the table an open mind
with quite possibly some fresh, new ideas. As a Vail resident for 22 years, I am ready to serve.
If you have any questions or would want to interview me, please call me at 376-4624.

Dear Pam,
Please consider me, Nancy Stevens, as an applicant to the Special
Events Committee.
Having been a resident of Vail for 27 years and actively involved in
the athletic and cultural events of this community, I recognize the
needs of special events in Vail. Not only will the name recognition
of Vail be enhanced, but our town will benefit financially from special
events.
Serving on the VRD board, owning a retail business in town
(Cascade Sports}, working in the restaurant and lodging community,
the Vail Valley Foundation at the Amphitheater and Vail Resorts as a
ski school supervisor has increased my knowledge of the valley.
I look forward to volunteering my time and efforts on the Special
Events Committee if needed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 4, 2002
SUBJECT: A request to proceed through the Town of Vail development review
process for the proposed construction of improvements on Town of Vail
property, located at 540 South Frontage Road/Unplatted (Ford Park).
Applicant: Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
Planner: Bill Gibson
1. SUBJECT PROPERTY
The subject property is Ford Park, located at 540 South Frontage Road/Unplatted. The
property is zoned General Use District (GU).
IN, BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens is proposing to construct an addition and deck on the
rear of the existing schoolhouse located in Ford Park adjacent to the Children's Garden
which is currently under construction. Since these improvements are proposed for
property leased by the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens but owned by the Town of Vail, the
Betty Ford Alpine Gardens must have permission from the Town Council, acting as the
property owner, to proceed through the development review process.
For your reference, please find attached conceptual drawings of the proposed
improvements to the schoolhouse at Ford Park.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Town Council approve
this request to proceed through the development review process. Please note that an

it simply allows the applicant to proceed through the development review process. The
Council will be informed of the status of the proposal through periodic updates of the
DRB meetings.
