Ordinance 26, Series of 2002 MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Department of Community Development DATE: August 20, 2002 SUBJECT: A request to amend: the Land Use Plan designation from Low Density Residential to Public/Semi Public for Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12tH Filing; amend the rockfall hazard map to show approved mitigation on Tract C, Block 1 and Lot 12, Block 2 of Vail Village 12tH Filing; and to rezone Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, Vail Village 12tH Filing and Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12tH Filing to the General Use Zone District Applicant: Vail Mountain School represented by Braun and Associates Planner: Russell Forrest DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant is requesting the following: 1) Resolution 12, Series of 2002: A request to modify the official Town of Vail Rockfall Hazard Map to indicate approved mitigation for 3160 N. Frontage Road/Lot 12, Block 2, and Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12tH Filling; 2) Resolution 13, Series of 2002: A request to amend the official Town of Vail Land Use Map for Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12tH Filing from Low Density Residential to Public/Semi-Public; 3) Ordinance 21, Series of 2002: A request to rezone Lot 12, Block 2, Vail Village 12tH Filing to General Use, The northern portion of this lot is zoned Agriculture Open Space; 4) Ordinance 22, Series of 2002: A request to rezone 3010 Booth Falls Road/Lot 11, Block 2, Vail Village 12tH Filing from Two-Family Residential to General Use; 5) Ordinance 23, Series of 2002: A request to rezone Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12tH Filing from Two-Family Residential to General Use; The applicant will also be asking for the Town Council to approve of the final plat and the dedication of land involved with moving Katsos Ranch Road at the time a final plat is submitted.. RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION (PECK On August 12, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously recommended to the Town Council that they approve the above mentioned requests. The PEC also approved of three conditional use permits (conditions are in attachment B) and a preliminary plat for a major subdivision request. The DRB has reviewed the application and was generally very supportive of the building design. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR DECISION MAKING Staff would like to remind the Town Council that new criteria and findings were approved in 2002 for rezoning and text amendments. These criteria and findings should be referenced as outlined beginning on page 13 of the PEC memo in any motion on this proposed ordinance. The criteria for amending the Land Use Plan are on pages 11-13. The criteria and findings for amending the hazard maps are on pages 21 - 22 of the staff memo. SIGNIFICANT ISSUES Applications: The applicant has had 4 meetings with the PEC and one meeting with the DRB regarding the development plan for the school. Prior to submitting an application, the Vail Mountain School met with adjacent property owners to discuss the project and strategies for addressing adjacent property owner concerns. The application did change significantly as the project was reviewed by both the neighborhood and the Town's boards. Most significantly, the site disturbance on Tract C was significantly reduced and the applicant is now proposing one zoning (General Use) for the entire development site. The Land Use Designation for Lot 11 and Lot 12 is Public/Semi Public. The applicant is requesting a Land Use Amendment for Tract C from Low Density Residential to Public Semi Public. 2000 Approval: The applicant did receive approval for a development plan in 2000. The applicant did not act on that development plan but choose to continue to work on it's planning for the school and expand its land area for the school by acquiring Lot 11, Tennis Court area on Lot 12, and Tract C. The applicant is asking for the same approximate number of teachers, students, and class rooms as was approved in 2000. Overall Mass and Height: The maximum height is 41 feet. The proposed structures are larger than the 2000 development plan with approximately 87,300 square feet of gross floor area versus approximately 55,390 square feet of floor area approved in the 2000 master plan, which is nearly 58% increase in floor area. It is important to note that the Vail Mountain School has increased its land area from 6.1 acres to 9.18 acres. That is an approximately 50% increase in total lot area. Overall site coverage for development plan is 15% versus the 2000 approved site coverage of 14.1 %. Employee Housing: With the additional class rooms that were proposed in the 2000 master plan 2 employee housing units were required (30% of new employees). The applicant is proposing 8 employee housing units on Tract C. Circulation and Parking: Currently there are traffic congestion problems on Katsos Ranch Road when school is over at the end of the day. The School is proposing a new circulation plan that would eliminate school traffic on Katsos Ranch Road except for the 8 employee housing units on Tract C. Anew exit lane would be created of the new parking lot directly onto the Frontage Road. Therefore traffic circulation on Katsos Ranch should be significantly improved and the Traffic Impact Analysis concludes that there should be no significant impact on Booth Creek Road. Parking stays the same at 116 parking spaces as was approved in 2000. The applicant is proposing 20 additional valet parking spaces for events. Environmental Impacts: Staff required an Environmental Impact Report for the project. Please contact staff for a copy if you would like to review it. There are existing trees that would be removed as the result of the project. Approximately 330 aspens and 40 evergreens would be removed. However, the landscape plan helps mitigate that impact. The applicant is proposing to add 445 deciduous trees and 250 evergreen trees to the site as part of the landscaping plan. AttarhmPnts• 1.

BACKGROUND A. 2000 Vail Mountain School Master Plan On June Stn, 1999, the Vail Town Council discussed Planning and Environmental Commission's decision to approve a conditional use permit (CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT) to allow for the addition of a temporary classroom structure at the Vail Mountain School. The Council agreed the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT could be extended for an additional year if the applicant presented a master plan to the Council within one year. On April 24tH, 2000 the Vail Mountain School received approval for a development plan (master plan) and a conditional use permit for the expansion of the school facilities, including eight Type III employee housing units. Attachment A summarizes the development parameters that were approved for the master plan. The Vait Mountain School Master Plan involves significant improvements constructed in two separate phases. Phase I (June 2000-July 2001) improvements include: ^ Demolition of the rockfall mitigation berm • Removal of the existing temporary classroom structure • .Construction of an eight-classroom wing to the north of the existing building ^ An elevator connection to all floors ^ Reconfiguration of the existing access and parking area to allow for the addition of a "drop off' lane and additional parking. Phase II (long-term) improvements include: ^ Addition of a 300-seat auditorium • Faculty housing ^ Additional classrooms south of the gymnasium ^ Additional parking It is important to note that the proposed 2002 development plan and the approved 2000 master plan propose the same number of students (330 students) and 28 class rooms. The 2002 proposal does include a larger auditorium (400 seats versus 300). The total floor area is approximately 31,993 square feet larger than the 2000 master plan. Parking (116 spaces) and employee housing is proposed to be the same for the 2002 application and the 2000 master plan given that the number of students and faculty will remain the same. B.

SUMMARY OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ~ DESIGN REVIEW BOARD INPUT June 10th 2002 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting • The Planning and Environmental Commission asked that a sensitive lighting plan be developed. • Make the parking on Tract C more consolidated. • There was some interest in moving the Headmasters House onto Tract C. • The Planning and Environmental Commission wanted to see a management plan for the EHUs to show how the units would be used by employees of the school. • There was a comment to move Katsos Road further to the East to create more space for the school. • There was a comment to subdivide the headmaster's house from the rest of the school and recreational field. • There was a need for additional information on retaining walls and grade changes. • Create enclosed parking for EHUs on Tract C • There was concern expressed about the van parking on Tract C. • There was agreement with Design Review Board that the height of the gymnasium could be reduced. • There was general support that EHUs on Tract C were appropriate. • There was some concern about the overall mass of the school. • Some members did not support an amendment to add the 425 credit to the Agriculture Open Space Zone District. July 8th 2002 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting • The Planning and Environmental Commission asked the applicant to rezone the tennis court area to either General Use or Single Family Residential. There was agreement that a more appropriate zoning should be used for the headmaster's house and the soccer field. • The majority of Planning and Environmental Commission indicated that they would not support a text amendment for the Agriculture Open Space zone district to accommodate a 425 GRFA credit. • The Planning and Environmental Commission did not approve of parking on the Frontage Rd for overflow parking. • There was some interest from the Planning and Environmental Commission in pursuing event parking at the Booth Falls trailhead. • The Planning and Environmental Commission wanted to see a sensitive lighting plan for the project. • The Planning and Environmental Commission stated that the fence beside the soccer field must be moved at least 10 feet from the edge of asphalt of Booth Falls Road. • Several members. of the Planning and Environmental Commission commented that the school was addressing their concerns and moving in the right direction. Also the new plan was similar to the plan approved in 2000 in that the school would be accommodating the same number of students and would have the same number of staff. Planning and Environmental Commission heard testimony from adjacent neighbors that the school was still too big and that the height should be further reduced to minimize the visual impact of the school. There was testimony regarding the need to remove parking from Tract C. Also lighting was a critical issue neighbors were concerned about. There were also comments that the school needed to improve trash removal and clean-up of the grounds. A letter from Winston Associates was provided to the Planning and Environmental Commission by several Katsos Ranch neighbors that outlined their position on the project and recommendations for Tract C. _ July 22"d 2002 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting • The Planning and Environmental Commission asked that a pedestrian trail be created between the north parking lot and the school. • The Planning and Environmental Commission asked that a MOU be created to facilitate parking on the Booth- Creek Trail Head for special events in the winter. • Planning and Environmental Commission asked that the bus stop be moved to the south side of the bus turn in. • Planning and Environmental Commission asked that the Soccer Field be moved further from the road. June 5T" 2002 Design Review Board Meeting The Design Review Board was very supportive of the architectural form of the building. Specifically they liked the horizontal and vertical variation in the design. The Design Review Board liked the contrast in the use of materials and that several roof materials would be considered. The Design Review Board requested that the applicant look at sinking the gymnasium to reduce the height of this element to address concerns from adjacent property owners. • The Design Review Board expressed concern regarding any impact to the aspen stand on Tract C. • The Design Review Board asked to see a very sensitive lighting plan. The Board asked that low level Ballard lighting be used. • The Design Review Board asked the applicant to consider structured parking underneath the soccer field which could enable the parking to be reduced on Tract C. , • The Design Review Board wanted to make sure that the applicant would have adequate landscaping. They were concerned that much of the landscaping was on Colorado Department of Transportation right-of-way and wanted to make sure that they could plant that material. • Design Review Board asked that a gate be considered for Tract C to prevent non school related traffic from parking in that lot. • Design Review Board asked whether a porte-cochere was needed for the entrance to the school. • The Board inquired whether there was adequate space for loading and delivery. 10 VI. APPLICATION CRITERIA, FINDINGS, STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS, AND CONDITIONS A. AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE PLAN FOR TRACT C 1) General Overview of the Plan The Town of Vail Land Use Plan was initiated in 1985 and adopted in 1986 by the Vail Town Council. The main purposes of the Land Use Plan are two- fold: To articulate the land use goals of the Town. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town. The Tovvn of Vail Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a basis from which future land use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined to indicate general types of land uses which are then used to develop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature, but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision making. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. To be effective, the Land Use Plan must be updated to reflect current thinking and changing market conditions. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan can be amended in three ways: 1) The Community Development Department can update and revise the plan periodically. The Community Development Department then makes recommendations for the proposed changes to the Planning and Environmental Commission, where these changes would then be considered in a public hearing format. The Planning and Environmental Commission would then make a recommendation to the Town Council, where another public hearing would be held. The Council then adopts the changes by resolution. 2) The Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council can also initiate amendments to the Land Use Plan. Again, both boards hold public hearings and the changes are adopted by the Town Council by resolution. 3) The private sector can also initiate amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan. Applications may be made by a registered voter, a property owner, or a property owner's authorized representative. The amendments are then heard by both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. The Town Council then adopts the changes by resolution. 2) Land Use Plan Designation Description for Tract C Current Land Use Plan designation for Tract C: Low Density Residential: This category includes single-family detached homes and two family dwelling units. Density of development within this category would typically not exceed 3 structures per buildable acre; however, all of the adjacent residential uses exceed 3 dwelling units per acre. Also within this area would be private recreation facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools and clubhouses for the use of residents of the area. Institutional /public uses permitted would include churches, fire stations, and parks and open space related facilities. Proposed Land Use designation: Public/Semi-Public (PSP): The Public and semi-public category includes schools, post office, water and sewer service and storage facilities, cemeteries, municipal facilities, and other public institutions, which are located throughout the community to serve the needs of residents. 3) Criteria for amending the Town of Vail Land Use Plan Any amendments to the Land Use Plan require a public process. Adjacent properties are notified, the Planning and Environmental Commission holds a public hearing and makes a recommendation to the Town Council on the proposal. The Town Council adopts the changes by resolution. Any changes to the Land Use Plan must address the following three criteria: 1. How conditions have changed since the plan was adopted? Physical conditions and the fundamental land use patterns of the neighborhood have not changed since the 1986 adoption of the plan. However, the Vail Mountain School is proposing to expand their program and physical space consistent with a development plan that was approved in 2000. Since the Land Use plan was adopted the need for employee housing has significantly increased with only a 1 % vacancy rate in the rental market in Vail. Employee housing is a critical need in the Town of Vail and any proposed use that generates new employees needs to provide a reasonable amount of housing for their employees. 2. How the plan is in error? The plan is not in error with respect to the land use designation. However, this land will be an integral component of the school's operation, and a Public/Semi Public land use designation will be more appropriate in the future and will facilitate a cohesive development plan for the community and the school. 12 3. How the addition, deletion or change to the plan is in concert with the plan in general? Adjacent lands are designated Public/Semi Public to the west and Low Density Residential to the north. This designation allows for the creation of associated housing for the school which is similar to how housing located at Buzzard Park which supports the Town of Vail Public Works operation also with aPublic/Semi Public designation. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan also states on page 8 of the plan that affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives and additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community." 4. Staff Recommendation The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the land use amendment in that it allows for uses consistent with adjacent land uses and the creation of a harmonious relationship with the adjacent residential and institutional uses and that this application meets the criteria mentioned above. B. REZONING OF LOTS 12, 11, AND TRACT C Rezoning Criteria Before acting on an application for a zone district boundary amendment, the Planning & Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested zone district boundary amendment: 1) The extent to which the zone district amendment. is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted goals,. objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the Town. Lots 11 and 12 have aPublic/Semi Public Land Use Plan Designation. Rezoning Lot 11 and the northern area of Lot 12 will increase the conformance to the Vail Land Use Plan. With an amendment to the Land Use Plan for Tract C, the rezoning of Tract C to General Use zone district would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The affordable housing on Tract C is an integral part of the school on Lot 12. 2) The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents. A school in a residential neighborhood is suitable and can work well together. Schools are typically located in residential areas. ,The 1~ school has been located on Lot 12 since 1980. There has been a relatively harmonious relationship between the school and the adjacent neighborhood. The location of school employee housing on Tract C is also consistent with the adjacent neighborhood. Tract C currently has a zoning of Two Family Residential. With that zoning, the lot could be subdivided into three parcels and have approximately 15,000 square feet of gross residential floor area. The school is proposing 2 structures with 8 employee housing units for a grand total of 7,280 sq. ft. of gross residential floor area. 3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. The proposed rezoning of the entire area of Lot 12 as General Use creates a more workable relationship among land uses and corrects an error that occurred in 1979 when that land was improperly subdivided and conveyed to another owner. Lot 11 which is now owned by the Vail Mountain School should be rezoned to General Use since the use of the property will be a school. This lot has been surrounded by school land and this rezoning creates a more harmonious workable relationship with the Vail Mountain Schools development plans. Tract C will continue to have a residential use that is interconnected with the school. The proposed housing on Tract C in relationship with the circulation plan for the school will reduce traffic on Katsos Ranch Road. These rezonings essentially consolidate the land on and around the school into the same zone district (General Use) and creates a more workable relationship for the school's development plans and allows the impacts of the school to be effectively mitigated to the extent possible. 4) The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole. By rezoning the northern area of Lots 12 and 11 to the General Use Zone District there is increased conformity to the Land Use Plan since the designation for this land is Public/Semi Public. With the amendment to the Land Use Plan for Tract C to Public/Semi Public and the development of housing on the site for the school that amendment will also serve the interests of the community as a whole by having an employer provide housing for a portion of the new employees that would be generated by the project. 5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features 14 An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for this proposal. No significant environmental impacts were identified in the report. There are existing trees that would be removed as the result of the project. Approximately 330 aspens and 40 evergreens. However, the landscape plan helps mitigate that impact. The applicant is proposing to add 445 deciduous trees and 250 evergreen trees to the site as part of the landscaping plan. 6) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. The purpose statement of the General Use Zone District is defined in Section 12-9C-1, Vail Town Code, and reads as follows: "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 12-1-2 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. (Ord. 21(1994) § 10)" A school is a public or quasi public use which does have special needs. The development plan process provided for in the General Use zone helps ensure that the proposed development is in harmony with the adjacent uses and that the potential impacts of the building are adequately mitigated. 7) The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. With regard to Lots 12 and 11, the proposed rezoning addresses an error that was made in 1979 when the northern portion of Lot 12 was conveyed to another owner. In addition, the school has surrounded Lot 11 making a residential development on that site difficult at best. With regard to Tract C, an increased need for employee housing has resulted in the last 20 years. It is now a matter of policy that when an employer generates new employees that they need to accommodate housing for a percentage of those new employees. Also employers are finding it necessary to provide employee housing to recruit high 15 quality employees. Therefore, staff believes that the eight proposed EHUs are an integral and necessary component of the school. 8) Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. 3. Necessary Findings: Before recommending and/or granting an approval of an application for a zone district boundary amendment the Planning & Environmental Commission and the Town Council shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment: 1) That the amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the Town. 2) That the amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas. 3) That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality. 4. Staff Recommendation The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval for the rezoning of Lots 11 and 12, Block 2, Vail Village 12th and Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12th and that the proposed amendments are consistent with the criteria and findings described above. C. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT(S) FOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN, EIGHT EHUs ON TRACT C, AND MAINTAINING THE MODULAR STRUCTURES ON THE SITE. riteria for a Conditional Use Permit 1) Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan applies a "Public/Semi-Public" land use designation on this property. This category includes uses such as schools, post office, water and sewer service and storage facilities, cemeteries, municipal facilities, and other institutions which are located throughout the community to serve the needs of residents. Staff believes this proposal is in compliance with all applicable objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff believes the proposal furthers the following specific goals: 16 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. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. 6.1 "Services should keep pace with increased growth. With relationship to the conditional use permit for the temporary structures, Section 12-9C-3, Vail Town Code allows for temporary structures subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. The Vail Town Code requires the. issuance of a conditional use permit for temporary structures, in part, to insure that adequate steps are taken to insure that the structure complies with the development objectives of the Town. The intent of allowing temporary structures is to accommodate those situations when a permanent structure is not appropriate or circumstances, such as duration of use, warrants a temporary structure. In the case of the Vail Mountain School, staff believes a temporary structure is warranted for a limited period of time to accommodate the immediate needs of the school while the school completes construction of the new facility. Staff believes the two-year request is appropriate. However, a request for an extension to the two-year timeframe should not be permitted. 2) The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Transportation -please refer to item 3 below. Schools -Planned improvements for the school would increase capacity to approximately 300 students and provide affordable housing for teachers and 17 staff. Staff believes the proposal would have a significant positive impact on educational opportunities in the Vail Valley. Parks and Recreation -Staff. believes the proposed auditorium facility could be a valuable amenity to Vail residents if managed via apublic/private partnership. The applicant has expressed a desire to provide opportunities for public events at the auditorium when school-related functions are not planned. The redevelopment of the soccer field will also provide recreational opportunities for the community. The requested conditional use permit for the temporary structures will have positive effects on the immediate needs of the school to meet growing demands. The temporary classrooms will allow the school to provide educational opportunities for up to 18 additional students. . 3.Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The applicant has completed a traffic impact assessment. This study concludes that traffic on Katsos Ranch Road will be reduced. Traffic on Booth Creek Road will not be increased significantly and the traffic consultant has concluded that additional turning lanes are not required. Adjacent fields and open space will provide more than the 30% of the parking area for snow storage. However, the applicant needs to identify snow storage for the EHU parking and the north parking lot. With the change in circulation of the parking area and with the eight EHUs on Tract C a net decrease in traffic will occur on Katsos Ranch Road. 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. The proposed structures are larger than the 2000 development plan with approximately 87,300 square feet of gross floor area versus approximately 55,390 square feet of floor area approved in the 2000 master plan, which is nearly 58% increase in floor area. It is important to note that the Vail Mountain School has increase its land area from 6.1 acres to 9.18 acres. That is an approximately 50% increase in total lot area. The applicant is attempting to articulate the building to reduce the perceived bulk and mass of the building. However, this is still a large structure for this area of Vail. The proposed EHUs are compatible in scale with other adjacent uses. The total floor area of the EHUs is less than if the lot was fully developed for duplex development under the Two Family Residential Zone District. With regard to the conditional use permit for the temporary structures, staff believes that due to the exterior improvements of the structures, the location 18 of the structure on the school site, and the temporary nature of the building, the temporary classroom will have minimal, if any negative impacts on the character of the area. 2. Findings for Conditional Use Permits The Planning & 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 conditional use permit section of the zoning code 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 would comply with each of the applicable , provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. 3. Staff Recommendations and Conditions The Department of Community Development recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approve of the proposed conditional use permits, based upon the above mentioned criteria and findings referenced above, for: • The Development Plan • 8 EHUs on Tract C • Continued use of modular trailers If the Planning and Environmental Commission chooses to approve of these conditional use permits, staff would recommend the following conditions: The applicant shall provide the Town of Vail with an easement for the existing public bus stop at the southwest corner of the property prior to building permit submittal. 2. The applicant shall provide the Town of Vail with drainage easements in accordance with the proposed grading and drainage plans. These easements shall be recorded prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for any proposed development on the site. 3. Prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or a Certificate of Occupancy for any phase of the school, the applicant shall complete and receive a Certificate of Occupancy for the eight employee housing units constructed on Tract C except for the occupancy of the cabin. 19 4. All housing units on Tract C shall be deed-restricted as Type III employee housing units. These units must be constructed in conjunction with the approved development plan. Required Type III deed-restrictions shall be recorded by the applicant with the Eagle County Clerk Recorder prior to the issuance of any temporary certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy for development of the school. The employee housing units shall comply with the minimum requirements for Type III employee housing regulations, as defined in Chapter 12, of the Vail Town Code. 5. The bicycle/pedestrian path shall be constructed by the applicant as per the approved development plan. Construction shall be completed prior to receiving a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the School. An easement shall be provided to the Town of Vail by the applicant for the bike/pedestrian path prior to the issuance of a building permit. 6. A cash deposit shall be submitted to the Town of Vail by the applicant prior to the issuance of any building permits for 100% of the value of creating a bike path/pedestrian trail for the entire length of Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12 Filling of the same quality and width as the path specified in condition number 5 above and more specifically described in the Development Plan. 7. Approval of the conditional use permit for the development plan is conditioned upon the rezoning of Lots 12 and 11, Block 2, Vail Village 12th Filing to the General Use District and approval of a final plat. 8. The conditional use permit for the modular structures shall be null and void two years from the approval of the conditional use permit for the two modular structures. This conditional use permit is valid only for the current number and location of the existing modular structures as of the date of this approval. 9. The Vail Mountain School shall not use any public right of way for parking. 10. A debris flow berm should be designed and constructed prior the location of the cabin on the northern portion of lot 12. A qualified engineer or geologist shall conclude in a written letter to the Community Development Department that the berm will adequately protect the cabin from a debris flow with out adversely impacting private or public property. 11. The applicant shall verify with a qualified lighting expert that luminance for all types of exterior lighting do not exceed 125. The applicant shall submit a report to the Town that the lighting complies with the Town's development standards, prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Zo 12. The applicant shall submit revised development plans to the Town identifying adequate snow storage for the north parking area and the parking area for Tract C prior to the issuance of final Design Review Board approval. D. Hazard Plan Amendment: 1. Criteria for Hazard Amendment Specific criteria for amending the Master Hazard Plans are not provided in the code. However, the purpose statement of Chapter 12-21 and provisions for providing mitigation for development specified in Section 12-21-15-C.1 of the Vail Town Code do provide criteria for a decision to amend the hazard master plan. The following are the recommended criteria for making an amendment to the hazard plans: 1) That the mitigation supports the purpose statement of section 12-21 which states in part "The purpose of this Chapter is to help protect the inhabitants of the Town from dangers relating to development of flood plains, avalanche paths, steep slopes and geologically sensitive areas...." Based on the review of the mitigation by qualified professionals the mitigation will help protect the inhabitants of the Town from dangers relating to geologically sensitive areas. 2) That the corrective engineering or engineered construction or other mitigation or alternations can be accomplished to reduce the danger to the public health and safety to property to a reasonable level. Based on the engineering design of the rockfall berm and the review of the construction by qualified engineers, staff believes that the rockfall hazard is reasonably mitigated. Dr Bruce Collins a qualified geologist has concluded that the mitigation will be effective in protecting the northeastern portion of Lot 12 and Tract C. 3) Such mitigation does not increase the hazard to other property or structures or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or facilities. Based on reliable engineering input the mitigation will not impact other property or structures, or public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or facilities. 4) The applicant must establish by clear and convincing evidence that the information contained in the site specific geological investigation is reliable. 21 The rockfall berm has been reviewed by a qualified geologist and Bruce E Collins has concluded that the mitigation will effectively protect Lot 12 and Tract C. 2. Staff Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Council of an amendment to the Rockfall Hazard Map to show approved mitigation on Lot 12, Block 2, Vail Village 12th Filling and Tract C, Block 1, Vail Village 12th Filing. E. MAJOR SUBDIVISION 1. General Overview of a Major Subdivision Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the Vail Town Code establishes the review process and criteria for a major subdivision proposed in the Town of Vail. Pursuant to Chapter 13-3 (Major Subdivision) of the Town Code, the first step in the review process is for the applicant to meet with a Town Planner to discuss the preliminary plan. Staff has met with the applicant on several occasions to discuss the proposal and address submittal requirements. Staff feels the applicant has successfully complied with the initial step in the review process. The Town of Vail is required to notify the following agencies that a major subdivision is proposed and that preliminary plans are available for review: a. Department of Public Works. b.

The Council shall have thirty days to affirm, reverse, or affirm with modifications the Planning and Environmental Commission decision. The appeal hearing shall be held during a regularly scheduled council meeting. The final step in the review process of a major subdivision request, after Planning and Environmental Commission preliminary plan review, is the review of the final plat. At any time within one year after the Planning and Environmental Commission has taken action on the preliminary plan, a final plat shall be submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department. The staff shall schedule a final review of the final plat. The final review shall occur at a regularly scheduled Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. The review criteria for a final plat are the same as those used in reviewing the preliminary plan as contained in Section 13-3- 4 of the Subdivision Regulations. The Town of Vail has the ability to require certain improvements when approving a major subdivision. The following improvements shall be required by the applicant unless. otherwise waived by the zoning administrator, Planning and Environmental Commission, or Council: 1. Paved streets and parking lots; 2. Bicycle and pedestrian path linked with the town system and within the subdivision itself; 3. Traffic control signs, signals or devices; 23 4. Street lights; 5. Landscaping; 6. Water lines and fire hydrants; 7. Sanitary sewer lines; 8. Storm drainage improvements and storm sewers; 9. Bridges and culverts; 10. Electric lines; 11. Telephone lines; 12. Natural gas lines; 13. Other improvements not specifically mentioned above but found necessary by the Town Engineer due to the nature of the subdivision. 2. Criteria for Review Section 13-3 of the Town of Vail Code provides the criteria by which a proposed major subdivision is to be reviewed. Section 13-3-4: Commission Review of Application; Criteria states: The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable. Due consideration shall be given to the recommendations made by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under subsection 13-3-3C above. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, environmental integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town. 1) Subdivision Control There are two lots being platted as part of this major subdivision request: Lot Zoning Lot Size Frontage Lot 12 General 347,826 sq ft. 950 ft on Use the Frontage Rd./680 ft on Booth Creek Rd. Tract C General 52,010 sq ft 360 ft on Use Frontage Rd Za 2) Densities Proposed Density does not apply to EHUs or a school 3) Regulations Both lots 11, 12, and Tract C are proposed to be zoned General Use. The General Use District requires an approved development plan in conjunction with development on the site. The rezoning is contingent on the Planning and Environmental Commission's approval of the development plan. 4) Ordinances, resolutions and other applicable documents In reviewing this proposal, staff relied upon the Town Code and the Vail Land Use Plan. The issues relating to the Town Code have been addressed previously. 5) Environmental Integrity The Vail Mountain School does have a rock fall hazard and a medium severity debris flow on the northwest corner of the site. The rockfall hazard has been mitigated by the existing rockfall berm. A qualified geologist has concluded that the berm does mitigate the rockfall hazard on all areas of Tract C and Lot 12. The geologist, Dr. Collins, also recommends the construction of a debris flow berm on the northwest corner of the site. A condition of approval is recommended above to ensure this occurs if the cabin is located in the northwest corner of the site. 6) Compatibility with other adjacent Land Uses Compatibility with adjacent land uses is described above. The Vail Mountain School has been located on the site since 1979 and has operated harmoniously with the neighborhood. The eight EHUs are consistent in bulk and mass with other adjacent residential uses. In fact their total floor area is less than would be allowed under the current Two Family Residential zoning. 7) Effects Upon the Aesthetics of the Town and Surrounding Land Uses The Vail Mountain School and the eight EHUs will need to comply with all applicable Design Review Board guidelines. There are existing trees that would be removed as the result~of the project. Approximately 330 aspens and 40 evergreens. However, the landscape plan helps mitigate that impact. The applicant is proposing to add 445 deciduous trees and 250 evergreen trees to the site as part of the landscaping plan. 25 3. Findings. The following findings are used for a Major Subdivision: That the application is in compliance with the intent and -purposes of the Major Subdivision Chapter, the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable. 2. That the application is appropriate in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, environmental integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, and effects on the aesthetics of the Town. 4. Staff Recommendation The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approve the preliminary plat for Vail Mountain School Subdivision, a resubdivision of Lots 11, 12, Tract C, and Katsos Ranch Road, Vail Village 12th Filing based upon the criteria evaluated in mentioned above in this memorandum. The recommendation of approval includes the findings mentioned above. In addition to the findings above, staff recommends the following conditions: 1) Within one year of the Planning and Environmental Commission's approval, the applicant shall submit a final plat to the Department of Community Development for review by the Planning and Environmental Commission. 2) Prior to submitting a final plat the applicant shall address all comments of the reviewing agencies to the satisfaction of the said agencies. -Any comments shall be incorporated into the final plat. VI. ZONING ANALYSIS Vail Mountain School is located in the General Use Zone District. Pursuant to the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations, the purpose of the General Use Zone District is 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 12-1-2 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. (Ord. 21(1994) § 10). 26 Sections 12-9C-2 and 12-9C-3 of the Vail Town Code outline the permitted and conditional uses allowed in the General Use Zone District. Public and private schools and educational institutions are a conditional use in the General Use Zone District subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. The Agriculture Open Space zone District is outlined in 12-8A of the Town .Code and the Two Family Residential District is in section 12-6C. ?~ Zoning Analysis Lot 12 and Lot 11 Zoning: General Use *All development standards in the GU zone district are prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission Lot Size: 7.98 acres (Lot 12 S) or 347,826 sq. ft.

PLANNING and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT August 6, 2002 Planning and Environmental Commission And Russell Forrest, AICP Director of Community Development Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Re: August 22 hearing for Vail Mountain School Project, Vail, Colorado Dear Planning Commission Members: Thank you again for your insightful comments on the Vail Mountain School project. We appreciated the opportunity to review with you our progress on the project at your last meeting. We are requesting a final review of the project at the August 12 hearing and believe that we have addressed all of the issues raised by the PEC and the neighbors. The revised plans that have been submitted address the specific comments raised at the July 22 hearing. Below is a list of the comments and how we have addressed them: • Rotate or pivot the soccer field to provide increased separation of the northwest corner of the field to Boo"thfalls Road. o The plans were revised to provide this separation and provide a landscape berm between the soccer field and Boothfalls Road.

Mauriello, AICP 2 Vaol Mountain School Special Event Parking Management Plan /~~N-ral~v S~y~ 0 August 8, 2002 Vail Mountain School Special Event Parking Management Plan August 12, 2002 I. Purpose The purpose of this Special Event Parking Management Plan (here after, "Plan") is to regulate how parking is controlled during special events at the Vail Mountain School (VMS) campus. The school will ut~l~ze this Plan when planning special events or when working with community groups desiring to use the school's facilities. This Plan is intended to be a guide. Additional parking solutions may be developed by the school working in concert with the Town of Vail. II. Special Events The proposed school facilities have been designed to address the typical programmatic needs of the Vail Mountain School. The parking provided on the site will meet the day-to-day needs of the school. Additionally, the 116 parking spaces provided on-site exceed the Town's parking requirement for a 400-seat auditorium. The Town's parking requirement of I parking per 120 sq. ft. of seating floor area generates a need for 30 parking spaces (3,500 sq. ft. seating area). however, VMS understands that certain rare events may exceed the Town's parking calculation and the number of standard spaces provided on-site. VMS will from time-to-time have events in the auditorium or within the athletic facilities that may generate parking demand beyond the normal capacity of the designated parking areas. In these rare circumstances alternative parking scenarios and modes of transportation will need to be utilized. VMS, on a case-by-case basis, may allow other community groups to utilize its facilities. These community events may require special prov~s~ons for parking depending on the number of participants and the type of event planned. III. Parking Alternatives During special events VMS may employ (or require of others ut~liz~ng the school facilities) the following parking management techniques in order to reduce parking impacts to the neighborhood and the Town's street network. One or a combination of the following techniques may be utilized. A parking plan is attached to this plan. 2 • Encourage users to utilize the Town of Vail bus system. The Town's bus stop is located on the property and is proximate to the school's facilities. VMS will use notices, letters, or flyers to indicate that the Town's bus system is available and encourage participants to take the bus to and from the campus. • Require/encourage the use of private shuttles to delver users to the property from other remote public parking areas. These public parking areas may include the CDOT parking area located at the east Vail interchange, Booth Falls Trailhead parking area, Ford Park parking areas, the Vail Village parking structure, and the Lionshead Parking structure. Any use of the Town's parking facilities will require coordination with the Town of Vail. • Employ the services of a parking valet to use the on-site parking areas as efficiently as possible. With valet service approximately 20 additional cars that can be accommodated within the designated parking areas. • Encourage carpooling by users and participants. The school will notify guest and users that parking is limited on the property for special events and will encourage them to ride together. • The Vail Mountain School will pursue an agreement with the Town to allow overflow parking during speaal events on the Boothfalis Trail Head parking area in exchange for the use of VMS parking for the Town's overflow in the summer months. IV. Parking Restrictions Parking on Booth Falls Road, Katsos Ranch Road, and the North Frontage Road will not be endorsed or encouraged by VMS. VMS, through notices to parents, participants, and users, shall indicate that parking is prohibited on Booth Falls Road, Katsos Ranch Road, and the North Frontage Road. VMS will work with the Town of Vail and code enforcement to ensure that users of the school facilities do not park on these neighborhood streets. 3 P. 01 MEMORANDUM Date: August 1, 2002 x01046 ParkingMemo.wpd To: Dominic Mauriello Braun Associates, ln~. (via FAX: 970.926.7576) From: Jo Ann Higgin ,,, . Subject: Vail Mountain School Project -Parking and Access Since completion of the traffic impact study (TIS) dated May 9, 2002 for the Vail Mountain School Project, the proposed school parking configuration has been revised. The TIS vas based on a total of 115 parking spaces on the site with 80 parking spaces in the main school lot access from Booth Falls Road and 35 spaces in the faculty housing lot access from Katsos Ranch Road. The current plan identifies a total of 120 parking spaces with 92 spaces in the main school lot (Booth Falls Road access), 12 spaces in the northern lot (Booth Falls Road north access), and 16 spaces in the faculty housing lot (Katsos Ranch Road access). The parking supply on the school campus will sufficiently serve the average day to day school operations. These operations currently include school plays, performances, meetings, and athletic events. The revised parking configuration will result in slight diversions in traffic (15- 20 vehicles) from the Katsos Ranch Road to the Booth Falls Road intersection along the Frontage Road. This traffic diversion does not warrant the need for auxiliary }apes along the Frontage Road since the percent increase in traffic over existing volumes will remain at less than 20°/0. As noted in the TIS, alternatives to reduce parking derrrands should be considered if an event occurs on the site or at the auditorium that creates a parking demand in excess of the proposed i 20 spaces. A parking management plan has been established by the school that addresses parking demands and methods for containing these vehicles on site for large events. Tlie parking alternatives include shuttle service during large events, valet parking assistance where vehicles are stacked on the site, or identifying overflow parking areas such as remote parking areas. Because less than 10 events per year are planned at the auditorium, on-site parking should be adequate in most cases. There are adequate areas (remote and valet parking, etc) t}iat allow for opportunities to contain excess parking demands within the site boundaries. This concludes our supplemental review of the current parking and access plan for the Vail Mountain School site. P.4.

SUtTi Io0 BoULDE0., CO 40)G3 MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager RE: Town Manager's Report DATE: September 17, 2002 OLD TOWN SHOP As indicated on the agenda, we have prepared an ordinance authorizing the sale of the Old Town Shop. In accordance with our previous discussions, I have been working with Rick Sackbauer and Piet Pieters to identify a temporary location for the gymnastics program until such time as a permanent site can be identified and a facility constructed. Thanks to the work of Rick Sackbauer, we have identified a location in Avon which will work on a temporary basis. This facility is owned by Vail Resorts and VRI is willing to lease the land for up to 2 years for $1 dollar per year. There are, however, CAM fees of approximately $13,000 annually. We have also prepared the necessary plans for the renovation and have solicited proposals from 3 contractors. The range in prices for completing the necessary renovation is between $22,000 - $78,000. The water district needs to begin the demolition of the old shop site next spring in order to be able to accommodate additional redevelopment in Lionshead. It is my suggestion the TOV/VRD subcommittee meet to work out the details of this issue. Please advise me on how you wish me to proceed. PARKING TASK FORCE At the last council meeting, several merchants requested that the town reconsider the recommendations of the parking policy for the upcoming ski season. Pursuant to Council's direction, we are in the process of setting up a meeting of the parking task force. We are attempting to schedule this meeting the week of September 23~d. We are unable to meet beforehand, as two of the Task Force members are out of town. As soon as we have scheduled this meeting, we will advise you and report back as soon as possible.

Keep in mind that the event had essentially taken place in the same location, under a similar format in 1999, 2000, 200] with very little eonflict..1 might add that we were bringing in 600+ people for a floe been, trx feed, and a band From 530-7:30. As things escalated, these two bars went to Coors and requested that the sponsorship be pulled. At this point, I contacted your Customer Service Departmmt the woman(whose name I unfortunately misplaced was quite polite but at lthe end of the dsy, it was Brian Lee's decision and he in fact pulled sponsorship. We received a letter stating drat Coors would'provide us with the 53000 chock but would no longer provide product. A little history should be given here. Several years ago, we sponsored an Irish Fest and Coors was so helpful that I wanted to reciptvcate. Whoa the Block Parties first started, thry were co-sponsor~od with the Restaurant Association. At that time, I taed to get them to rase Coors fiat was rmsuocessful and Budweiser became the sponsor. When the Chattrber became the sole organiser, I contacted Coors and they were.soemirigly ihalled to snake' so in toad into Var7 which has pretty much been Bud territory. We had do signed couuact as I uever'felt that one was ~cessazy and, in fact, tbitigs had progressed without s problem until recently. T 'd E6ET-LLb-OL6 R~en~aueS/tuoo~ del ayl d9i =i~0 ZO T i daS i I think it is irnportaat for you to be personally awam of the situation and the ramifications. For starters, the Chamber will never use Coors for any event which we sponsor. Additionally, ss President of the Chamber, I will make sure that ottie~ organizeas are aware that Cools cannot be relied upon to honor its commitments, in fact, left us in. quite a bind nud way through the event with only 4 days to go before the next scheduled date: Just 'as a point of reference, in the midst of this, I called the Vail Valley Foundation who sponsors the Wednesday night Street Beat with Bud as a sponsor. For years they have faced even greater opposition to their event than we have to ours. I asked if Budweiser had ever threatened to pull out and they said absolutely never. On a very personal note, I also happen to own The Grind. which is a 14 year old business in the heart bf Vail Village. It is a locals' hang out with signi5cant tourist traffic. While it wi11 surely have no effect on your bottom line, as a matter of principle, l cancelled my Coors account last week. ~ _ CC: Board of Directors Mayor Kurz and Vail Town Council Bob 11~cLaurin, Town Manager Dick•Cleveland, Town Council Rep Bill Jensen, Vail Resorts Rep Contribution Request Spreadsheet W ,.~ 'TOWN OF VAIL'FUNDING REQUEST ~ GENERAL FUND Contributions: 2002 In-Kind Description 2002 Cash Request 2002 Contribution 2003 In-Kind Description 2003 In-Kind Request 2,003 Cash Request ECONOMIC: Bravo!

Meadow rive, Suite 34 Vail, Colorado 81657 www.visitvailvalley.com The Board of Directors has asked that I address the position of the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau as it relates to future Special Events contracts with the Town of Vail. As you are aware, we were solicited in 1995, following the Vail Valley Exchange trip to St. Moritz, to produce several special events in the town of Vail, and coordinate the operations of the Special Events Commission to strategically address the role of events in Vail's summer marketing. Since that time, we have significantly increased the amount of revenue available for the production of these events through sponsorships, increased the budget for"seed mone~'from $40,000 to $160,000, and absorbed the cost of personnel and departmental operating costs within our organization...outside of the first year of the contract, when we were trying to establish a Special Events Department to manage this process on your behalf, the Town's contract fees have gone 100% toward the cost of producing the events and seeding other Town events. For the past two years, under Joel Heath's leadership, we have attempted to move the events that we undertook into conformance with the strategic marketing plan outlined by the Vail Marketing Advisory Committee. The White~~~ater Festival/Mountain Games and Big Wheel `n' Chili event were specifically targeted at the 21-35 age group in Colorado, the primary target for VMAC marketing in June, and the Oktoberfest was tailored for the market identified by the VMAC as being the most appropriate segment during the fall. Now, with the addition of Rick Chastain to our marketing group, we are prepared to work with the community to develop higher level events that fulfill the strategic objectives identified by the VMAC and Special Events Commission and dramatically improve the economy of Vail during the spring, summer, and fall months. The Board has chosen to respond to the strategic direction established by the VMAC and Special Events Commission for the future and, therefore, we will not be submitting a request for funding of any events at this time. When the Special Events Commission has Group Sales Reservations Visitor Services Business Office 1-800-775-8245 1-800-525-3875 (970) 479-1014 (970) 476-1000 FAX (970) 479-2364 FAX (970) 476-6008 FAX (970) 479-7162 FAX (970) 476-6008 determined its process of attracting and funding events for next year, and is interested in requesting companies/organizations come forward to submit proposals, we will respond to those specific needs at that time. We stand ready to be a partner in improving the conditions for doing business in Vail in the future through the use of special events as a marketing tool, and await your further direction as to how to be most effective. TOWN OF VAIL 7S South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 Fax: 970-479-2157 www. ci. vail. co. us TO: Judy Camp, Finance Director FR: Bill Jewitt, Chairman Commission on Special Events DT: August 16, 2002 RE: PROPOSED 2003 BUDGET FOR COMMISSION ON SPECIAL EVENTS (CSE) The CSE is proposing a 2003 budget equal to that allocated for special events in 2002. That total was divided between the following categories. - $308,000 to WCTB for contracted special events - $160,000 to WCTB for seed fudning of new events - $ 43,500 to VCBA for block parties and LionsHead jazz - $ 75,000 to VCBA for Vail Today street entertainment - $107,933 Rollforward from Y2002 unexpended seed funding (WCTB) This is a total of $694,433. The CSE foresees continuing to provide ambient entertainment, community events such as Vail America Days (4th of July)., as well as events designed to bring large numbers of people to Vail from outside the valley. It is also envisioned that some events may be able to return funds to the CSE, thereby reducing the request for funds in the future years (or enabling the CSE to provide further benefits to our community). It is further believed that the CSE will be able to provide the professional management foreseen in Ordinance #18, Series of 2002, within this budget request. However, the single caveat remaining that at this time period is the CSE will not have had an extensive enough period of time to evaluate all requests before them, thus leaving the possibility of later funding requests. Bill Jewitt, Chairman Commission on Special Events August 15, 2002 xc: Bill Dewitt Pam Brandmeyer ~~ RECYCLEDPAPER MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Department of Community Development DATE: September 23, 2002 SUBJECT: A request for a final review of a final plat for a major subdivision; a request for a final review of a conditional use permit to allow for a private educational institution and development plan approval to construct employee housing; and setting forth details in regards thereto, located at the site known as "Mountain Bell"/an unplatted piece of property, located at 160 N. Frontage Rd./to be platted as Middle Creek Subdivision. Applicant: Vail Local Housing Authority, represented by Odell Architects Planner: Allison Ochs I. SUMMARY . The applicant, the Vail Local Housing Authority, represented by Odell Architects, is requesting a final review of a development plan to allow for the construction of 142 employee housing units; a conditional use. permit to allow for the relocation and expansion of the Early Learning Center; and a final review of a final plat for a major subdivision on the site known as Mountain_ Bell, located at 1.60 N. Frontage Rd. / to be platted as Middle Creek Subdivision. The Department of Community Development is recommending approval of the applications, in accordance with the findings and conditions as indicated in Section XIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS The applicant, the Vail Locai Housing Authority, represented by Odell Architects, is requesting approval of three applications: A. A final review of a final plat for a major subdivision to allow for the platting of Middle Creek Subdivision. The subdivision includes Lot 1 (the proposed housing and Early Learning Center); Lot 2 (the existing Mountain Bell tower site); and Tract A (remaining open space). B. A final review of a conditional use permit to allow for a private educational institution (referred to as the Early Learning Center). C. A final review of a development plan to allow for the construction of 142 employee housing units. III. BACKGROUND The Mountain Bell site was annexed into the Town of Vail by Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1969. In 1974, as part of an agreement with Vail Associates, Inc., regarding bus service, h~~ ~Y. TUWN OF PAIL the property was deeded to the Town of Vail. A portion of the site is owned by Qwest and is the site of thef ~~lountain Bell tower. In addition, ABC and Learning Tree schools are located on the site. The remainder of the site is currently open space. On September 24, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the following requests: A major subdivision, to allow for the platting of the site known as Mountain Bell. The subdivision will be known as "Middle Creek Subdivision," and will consist of Lot 1 (the housing site, known as Middle Creek Village), Lot 2 (the Mountain Bell tower site), and Tract A (the open space parcel). 2. A Land .Use Plan amendment, to change the land use designation from "Open Space" to "High Density Residential" of Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision. 3. A rezoning, to rezone Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision, from "Natural Area Preservation District" to "Housing Zone District". Tlie Planning and Environmental Commission approved the major subdivision request, and forwarded recommendations of approval to the Town Council•for the Land Use Plan amendment and the rezoning request. With Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2001, Town Council approved the rezoning of the site, and with Resolution No. 6, Series of 2001, Town Council approved the Land Use Plan amendment. Both approvals are conditioned upon the filing of the final plat for Middle Creek Subdivision, and the approval of a development plan for the site. This application has been before the Planning and Environmental Commission on numerous occasions over the past few months to discuss the development plan for Middle Creek in a work session format. The applicant is requesting a final review of the proposed development plan for Middle Creek and the conditional use permit for the Early Learning Center. On March 11, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission voted 5-2 (Schofield and Golden against) to table the request for development plan review and the conditional use permit for the Early Learning Center at Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision. On April 8, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board held a joint worksession to review the proposed Middle Creek Housing Development. At this worksession, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board provided specific direction to the applicant regarding the proposed design of Middle Creek. The Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board provided the following summary of their concerns: 1. As proposed, the bulk and mass does not relate to the site, nor is there a relationship or a hierarchy of buildings on the site. 2. As proposed, the surface parking and amount of asphalt is excessive. The resolution to this issue will not involve a reduction in the parking requirement, nor will screening the surface parking be acceptable. Based upon the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board's April 8, 2002, comments, revised conceptual plans were submitted to the Department of 2 Community Development and additional meetings with the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board were scheduled. On April 22, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed conceptual plans for the re-designed Middle Creek development. The Planning and Environmental Commission's comments included the following: 1. Generally, the Planning and Environmental Commission was supportive of the change in design. 2. The massing needs to be broken down on the east pand west sides of the structure. 3. It was stated that that more units could be added on the east side of the building to reduce the mass of the building. 4. There were concerns expressed regarding the livability of the project and ensuring that the new design would be attractive to the public and the residents of the project. 5. There is a need to ensure that this project reflects the quality of the community, given its prime location in town. On May 1, 2002, the Design Review Board reviewed conceptual plans for the re- designed Middle Creek development. The Design Review Board's comments included the following: 1. The underground parking is a positive addition, helping greatly to minimize site disturbance. 2. .The project is taking on a better presence and identity of its own. 3. Look more at the A Building, specifically with regards to ,its height and relationship to the Frontage Rd. 4. The plaza and courtyard concept is good and will provide benefits. to the residents of the project. The Design Review Board again reviewed conceptual plans for Middle Creek at their June 19, 2002, meeting. In general, the Design Review Board was supportive of the design direction the applicant proposed. , On July 8, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the plans for Middle Creek in a worksession format. In general, the Planning and Environmental Commission was supportive of the design direction the applicant proposed. On August 7, 2002, the Design Review Board conceptually reviewed the submittal for Middle Creek. The Design Review Board's comments focused on two major issues: 1. The east elevation needs additional consideration. Consider stepping it down, so that there are some one- or two- story elements on the east. 2. Building A and Building B appear to be two different architectural styles. Consider making these two buildings more consistent in design. On August 21, 2002, the Design Review Board again conceptually reviewed the proposal for Middle Creek. Generally, they were supportive of the direction that the proposal is moving. However, they expressed concerns regarding the execution of the concept. Specifically, the Design Review Board stated that additional consideration needs to be given to the massing of the individual buildings. They suggested bringing in 3 an independent reviewer to analyze the plans with respect to the Town of Vail's Design Guidelines. This has been done for multiple large projects, including the Vail Plaza .Hotel. The report from Winston Associates has been attached for reference. IV. On September 18, 2002, the Design Review Board conceptually reviewed the development plan for Middle Creek. Their comments focused mainly on the bulk and mass, roof forms, scale, and architectural theme of the proposal. Generally, the Design Review Board was encouraged by the changes made by the applicant from the last meeting. While they stated that there is still a lot of work to do with regards to the details of the project, they felt that the proposed bulk and mass were appropriate. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BODIES A.

V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Town of Vail Zoning Regulations (Title 12 Vail Town Codel Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2001, approved the rezoning of this site from Natural Area Preservation District to Housing zone district. Pursuant to Section 12-61-1, Vail Town Code, the purpose of the Housing zone district is as follows: The Housing District is intended to provide adequate sites for employee housing which, because of the nature and characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other residential zoning districts. It is necessary in this district to provide development standards specifically prescribed for each development proposal or project to achieve the purposes prescribed in Section 12-1-2 of this Title and to provide for the public welfare. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses, which are intended to be incidental and secondary to the residential uses of the District. The Housing District is intended to ensure that employee housing permitted in the District is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses. Section 12-61-3, Vail Town Code, identifies "public and private schools and educational intuitions, including daycare facilities" as a conditional use in the Housing zone district. For the Planning and Environmental Commission's reference, Section 12-16-1, Vail Town Code, identifies the purpose for a conditional use permit as follows: In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses ,will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. 7 Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. Town of Vail Subdivision Regulations (Title 13 Vail Town Code) Pursuant to Section 13-1-2, Vail Town Code, the purpose of the subdivision regulations is as follows: A. Statutory Authority: The subdivision regulations contained in this Title have been prepared and enacted in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes title 31, article 23, for the purpose of promoting the health, safety and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the Town. B.

Town of Vail Land Use Plan The land use designation, according to the Town of Vail Land Use Plan, for this site is High Density Residential. The High Density Residential designation is described as follows: The housing in this category would typically consist of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilities and institutional /public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan describes the Mountain Bell site as Tract 35 and states: The Mountain Bell microwave facility and two day care centers are located on a 25 acre site owned by the Town of Vail which is north of I-70. A portion of this site under the microwave facility is owned by Mountain Bell. Part of the entire site in located in an area of medium environmental hazards and should continue to remain in its present use, with possible expansions of the day care centers. It may also be an option for the cemetery, further discussed later. The Vail Land Use Plan includes the following goal statements which staff considers to be applicable to this request: i.0 General Growth/Development 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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 ~ Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development maybe permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 9 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the .Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. Town of Vail Comprehensive Ogen Lands Plan The.Comprehensive Open Lands Plan recommends the following the Mountain Bell Site: Approximately half of the property is. intended for affordable. housing and the remainder of the site will remain open space.

REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE H ZONE DISTRICT The following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluating a proposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria: A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. Adjacent uses to the project include the following: • Solar Vail - amultiple-family housing project currently zoned High Density Multiple Family. • Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. • Parcel B, Spraddle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacent to Lot 1. • I-70 Right-of-Way -land owned by CDOT but located within Town of Vail boundaries. As a road right-of-way, there is no zoning on the property. This property is adjacent to Lot 1. • White River National Forest -land owned by the United States Forest Service outside of the Town of Vail boundary. The applicant has described the architectural character of the proposed development as "European Hillside Village." .The primary characteristics of this architectural character include the following: • Strong vertical elements • Timelessness of materials • Feeling that the buildings developed over time • Vertical stepping of buildings • Irregular window placement • Simplicity of design • Focus on roof forms • Structures cascading down the hillside While the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board have been supportive of this general design philosophy, both Boards expressed a belief that the translation seemed to be lost in previous designs. Specifically, the exterior horizontal walkways, the lack of stepping of the buildings, the contemporary materials and design, and the roof planes did not seem consistent with the "European Hillside Village" concept.. The Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board have struggled with this issue in the last few meetings. The Design Review Board requested that staff retain the services of an independent consultant to review the proposal for Middle Creek, with specific reference to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation. A report from Jeff Winston, of Winston Associates, has been attached for reference. The report looked at the following categories: 11 1. Appropriateness of the original concept. 2. Did the plan carry out the original concept? 3. Overall assessment of the revised plan. The report from Jeff Winston states that he believes the concept of a "Eurpoean Hillside Village" is appropriate for the site. Specifically, he states: 1 feel that the original decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission to support that direction was reasonable. The vertical massing of the buildings, and stucco exterior appear to be a reasonable response to the steep site, coupled with the challenge of maintaining affordability. No, it is not Tyrolean like Vail Village. However, as one approaches Vail from east or west there are many buildings along 1-70 that are not particularly Tyrolean, especially the buildings north of I-70. Yet, they are all part of the Vail backdrop. Many of these buildings are vertical in nature,- and have large stucco. components - 1 do not think the Middle Creek project will appear to be out of place. Jeff Winston lists the following components of the previous design that were not consistent with the "European Hillside Village" concept: • Horizontal balcony walkways • Exterior flat panels • Horizontal stepping of buildings • Vertical stepping of buildings • Roofs • Window placement • Materials • Building C courtyard • Building B courtyard The architect and developer worked closely with Jeff Winston to develop solutions to the issues listed above. Additional stair towers were added to Building A, to eliminate as many exterior stairways as possible. An additional stair tower was added to Building C to hide the exterior walkways and the exterior walkways were eliminated from the south elevation of Building B. Tne exterior flat panels werE removed where possible, and 5 ft. returns were added on the ones that remain. Jeff Winston recommends enclosing the stairways entirely, which staff believes will be further reviewed by the Design Review Board. The applicant has revised the horizontal and vertical stepping of the buildings was achieved through multiple methods. On Building A, additional stair towers have been proposed to create more horizontal movement. It is important to note that the additional stair towers are located within the 20 ft. front setback. The stepping of buildings has also occurred on Building B, through the elimination of a crawl space. The stepping on Building C occurred above the parking garage and on the southeast corner, where one two-bedroom unit was eliminated (a studio was added to Building A) and one three-bedroom unit was changed to atwo-bedroom unit. Staff believes that the applicant has effectively addressed the general issues which were identified by the Design Review Board, the Planning and Environmental 12 Commission, staff, and Winston Associates in regards to architecture, character, scale, massing, and orientation. However, staff believes that with a development of this size and mass, the proposal only works if the applicant can successfully execute the details of the Design Guidelines of the Town of Vail. Title 14, Vail Town Code, provides the Design Guidelines of the Town of Vail. Staff believes that the following guidelines must be addressed by the applicant, to the satisfaction of the Design Review Board: C. Building Materials and Design: 1. Predominantly natural building materials shall be used within the Town of Vail. The exterior use of wood, wood siding, wood shingles, native stone, brick, concrete, stucco, and EIFS may be permitted. Concrete surfaces, when. permitted, shall be treated with texture and color; however, exposed aggregate is more acceptable than raw concrete. The exterior use of stucco or EIFS with gross textures or surface features that appear to imitate other materials shall not be permitted. The exterior use of simulated stone or simulated brick shall not be permitted. The exterior use of aluminum, steel, plastic or vinyl siding that appears to imitate other materials shall not be permitted. The exterior use of plywood siding shall not be permitted. The exterior use of any building material, including those not specifically identified by this Section, shall only be permitted, unless otherwise prohibited by this Code, where the Design Review Board finds: a. that the proposed material is satisfactory in general appearance, architectural style, design, color, texture, and quality over time; and, b. that the use of the proposed material complies with the intent of the provisions of this Code; and, c. that the use of the proposed material is compatible with the structure, site, surroundiry structures, and overall ch«racter of the Town of Vail. 4. The majority of roof forms within Vail are gable roofs with a pitch of at least four feet (4') in twelve feet (12'). However, other roof forms are allowed. Consideration of environmental and climatic determinants such as snow shedding, drainage, and solar exposure should be integral to the roof design. 5. Roof lines should be designed so as not to deposit snow on parking areas, trash storage .areas, stairways, decks and balconies, or entryways. Secondary roofs, snow clips, and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas from roof snow shedding if necessary. 9. Deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other building features that provide shelter from the elements are encouraged. 13 10. Fenestration should be suitable for the climate and for the orientation of the particular building elevation in which the fenestration occurs. The use of both passive and active solar energy systems is strongly encouraged. To summarize, staff believes that the building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing, and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties, and the surrounding neighborhood. However, if the applicant cannot address the concerns of the Design Review Board with respect to the Design Guidelines, the bulk and mass must be re-evaluated by the Planning and Environmental Commission. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the, site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. Staff believes that the uses proposed for the site are compatible with the site, the neighborhood, and the community as a whole. Specifically, the Early Learning Center provides amuch-needed service to the community and staff believes maintaining this use on the site is a benefit of the development plan. In addition, staff believes that housing on this site is a compatible use with the site, the neighborhood and the community as a whole. The proximity to the Village and Lionshead, the availability of alternate modes of transportation (including bus, pedestrian, bicycle), the proximity of recreational areas, etc., make this a favorable location for employee housing. In addition, staff believes that the separation of the Early Learning Center and the housing component are a positive element of the development plan. Previous proposals have mixed the parking for both uses, and staff believes that the current separation of the Early Learning Center and the housing is more appropriate for the site. The re-design of Buildings A and B have lead to changes in the site plan. Specifically, the new stair towers at Building A are located 15 ft. and 10 ft. from the front property line. As the addition is limited to stair towers, which staff believes to be a positive design solution to minimize exterior horizontal balcony walkways, staff believes this encroachment to be appropriate. On Building B, exterior walkways at ground level have been partially enclosed, encroaching 2 ft. into the 20 ft. front setback. The Early Learning Center is approximately 18 ft. from the front property line. Surface parking occurs within the rear 20 ft. setback, within 2 ft. of the Qwest property, and in the front 20 ft. setback by the Early Learning Center. In the Housing zone district, the Planning and Environmental Commission can allow encroachments into the 20 ft. setback, subject to the following findings: A. Proposed building setbacks buildings and riparian areas, environmentally sensitive areas provide necessary separation between geologically sensitive areas and other B. Proposed building setbacks will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. 14 C. Proposed building setbacks will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. D. Proposed building setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. Staff believes that the proposed setbacks meet the above criteria. The proposed setbacks provide adequate light, air, open space, and are compatible with buildings and uses on adjacent property. In addition, staff believes that the proposed setbacks area a result of creative design solutions which have lead to a more functional development plant. To summarize, staff believes that the buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. The proposed limits of disturbance for the west portion of the property keeps development out of the riparian corridor and protects the existing Middle Creek. Staff believes that this is a benefit of .the development. In addition, more trees at the entrance to the development are retained than were retained by the previous proposal. The setbacks for the housing have been maintained at 20 ft., allowing for additional landscaping and berming to screen the uses than the previous design allowed. A recreation area of approximately 4,250 sq. ft. has been proposed. This recreation area is adjacent to Building C and has greater exposure to the sun than the previous ~ recreation area proposal. Staff believes that this criterion has been met. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. Staff believes that the proposed vehicular circulation system is successful solution to access a difficult site. When possible, the existing circulation system is used to access the uses on the site. Staff believes that the proposed vehicular circulation system provides a safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. In addition, the proposed bike and pedestrian path along the Frontage Road will provide access to the Main Vail Roundabout for the residents of Middle Creek. Staff believes that this is a positive benefit of the proposed circulation system. 15 Staff believes that the proposed bus stop and bus circulation pattern into the site is a. positive element of the proposed design. Pursuant to Section 12-61-8, Vail Town Code, development within the Housing zone district, the parking requirements are as outlined in Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. However, the Housing zone district does allow for a reduction. in the number of required parking spaces, subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review and approval of a parking management plan. Section 12-61-8: Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code, states: Off-street parking shall be provided in .accordance with Chapter 10 of this Title. No parking or loading area shall be located within any required setback area. At the discretion of the Planning and Environmental Commission, variations to the parking standards outlined in Chapter 10 may be approved during the review of a development plan subject to a Parking Management Plan. The Parking Management Plan shall be approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission and shall provide for a reduction in fhe parking requirements based on a demonstrated need for fewer parking spaces than Chapter 10 of this title would require. For example, a demonstrated need for a reduction in the required parking could include: A. Proximity or availability of alternative modes of transportation including, but not limited to, public transit or shuttle services. 8. A limitation placed in the deed restrictions limiting the number of cars for each unit. C. A demonstrated permanent program including, but. not limited to, rideshare programs, carshare programs, shuttle service, or staggered work shifts. The allocation of parking spaces is based on dwelling unit size. Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code, requires 1.5 parking spaces for units less than 500 sq. ft.; 2 parking spaces for units 500 to 2000 sq. ft.; and 2.5 parking spaces for units over 2000 sq. ft. As proposed, the parking requirement would be as follows: Number and Type of Unit Parking ratio Total Spaces 45 studio units 1.5 67.5 29 one-bedroom units 1.5 43.5 24 two-bedroom units 2 48 44 three-bedroom units 2 88 Total 247 The applicant is proposing 269 parking spaces for the entire development site. The applicant is proposing 247 parking spaces for the proposed housing, meeting the parking requirement, as prescribed by .Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code: The remaining 22 spaces are for the Early Learning Center. 1 However, the applicant is proposing a deviation to the parking requirement for the size of the parking spaces. As currently proposed, the parking spaces are configured as follows (housing only): 16 140 tandem spaces (56.7%) 107 single spaces (43.3%) 77 compact spaces (31 %) 25% is allowed by the Town Code 167 full-size spaces (69%) 211 covered spaces (85%) 36 surface spaces (15%) Previously, the applicant proposed to enclose 78% of the proposed parking. With this current submittal, the applicant is proposing to enclose 85% of the parking. Staff believes that this. is an appropriate percentage of enclosed parking for this site. The remaining surface parking must be screened with site walls, berms, or landscaping. Staff also believes that, while the tandem parking spaces are not necessarily convenient for the residents, the number of tandem spaces is appropriate. The alternative would be to provide additional surface parking to eliminate the need for tandem space, and staff believes that this would be detrimental to the design of the site. The parking for the Early Learning Center is discussed in Section X of this memorandum. . The .applicant has provided a parking management plan which is attached for reference. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve the proposed development plan, this parking management plan .shall be included as part of the approval. Staff believes that the pedestrian and vehicular circulation system has been designed to provide safe, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. The Environmental impacts and environmental impact report have been discussed in previous memos. Please refer to the staff memorandum dated August 12, 2002. The Hazard Reports have been updated for the current development plan. The reports indicate major changes from the previous reports. Specifically, the previous debris flow hazard mitigation previously included a mitigation wall adjacent to the creek. However, the report by Church and Associates, Inc., dated September 13, 2002, states the following: A deflection wall and soil berms were originally envisioned as the mitigation scheme for the project. However, after conducting field work, we believe there is a substantial risk that a Booth Creek type event could result in a plugged channel between the wall and the steep hillside to the north, and a later flow could overtop the dam and flow southwards towards the site. Another viable alternative is to individually protect each structure on the fan that is subject to a debris flow hazard by designing structures to resist the 17 forces of a debris flow. Based on our understanding of the project objectives and constraints, we believe the best course of action will be to protect the individual structures. The report states that the north wall of Building A and the west wall of Building C should be designed to resist forces from a potential debris flow event. The applicant has revised the north wall of Building A, incorporating the required 6 ft. mitigation as the north wall of the building. Staff believes that this is an acceptable solution to the hazard mitigation. The report also considers the rockfall hazard, which potentially effects Building C and the Early Learning Center. The report states that formal rockfall protection measures are not necessary, but that the developer should scale loose rocks from the slopes above Building C and the Early Learning Center during construction to reduce the risk for cosmetic damage. To summarize, staff believes that the environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified and all necessary mitigating measures have been implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. F. Compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan contains goals which staff considers to be applicable to this request. The applicable goals include: 1.0 General Growth/Development 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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 18 5.3 Affordable employee housing should.be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and .upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites Throughout the community. Staff believes that the proposal is furthering the goals of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan by providing housing for employees. In addition, the proposal includes a variety of unit sizes, ranging from studio units to three-bedroom units. Proposed development has not encroached into the 40% slopes on the site, nor has it encroached into the riparian corridor along Middle Creek. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan identifies the Mountain Bell Site as "approximately half of the property is intended for affordable housing and the remainder of the site will remain open space." The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is intended to identify and recommend actions for the protection of sensitive land and open space, not as a guide for development of other properties. Staff believes that the proposal is in compliance with the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan, which identified a portion of this site for affordable housing. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan provides a land use designation for this site as High Density Residential. The High Density Residential designation is described as follows: The housing in this category would typically consist of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding i5 dwelling units per buildable acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational facilities, and private. parking facilities and institutional /public uses such as churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities. The Vail Land Use Plan describes the Mountain Bell site as Tract 35 and states: The Mountain Bell microwave facility and two day care centers are located on a 25 acre site owned by the Town of Vail which is north of 1-70. A portion of this site under the microwave facility is owned by Mountain Bell. Part of the entire site in located in an area of medium environmental hazards and should continue to remain in its present use, with possible expansions of the day care centers. It may also be an option for the cemetery, further discussed later. The potential use of this site as employee housing was not considered at the time of adoption of the Vail Land Use Plan. However, the Town Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission voted to amend the land use designation for this site from Open Space to High Density Residential, based on the need to for employee housing. Staff believes the proposal to be in compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and other applicable plans. 19 X. REQUIRED CRITERIA AND FINDINGS -CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT In addition to the request for development plan approval as required by the Housing zone district, the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for the relocation of the Early Learning Center to the eastern portion of the site. Schools, including day cares, are a conditional use in the Housing zone district. According to Section 12-16-1, Vail Town Code: In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review and evaluation so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the town may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. A. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan identifies the following goals with regards to community services: 6.0 Community Services 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. In addition, the Vail Land Use Plan states that this site is to be used for the future expansion of the ABC and Learning Trees Schools. Staff believes that this use is important to the Town of Vail and will have a positive impact on the Town. These schools provide a valuable service to the members of the community. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. 20 Staff believes that the relocation and expansion of the Early Learning Center on this site is a benefit to the Town. According to the summary provided by the applicant, the Early Learning Center will provide early learning services for 60 preschool age children, with 12 to 15 full-time staff members, and 2 part-time staff members. The Early Learning Center has approximately 4,630 sq. ft. of floor area, and includes a 4,103 sq. ft. outdoor play area. Staff believes that it is beneficial to have this use located on this site, which is centrally located in the Town of Vail. An important consideration in the review of this conditional use permit is the possibility for future expansion. Due to the amount and location of the parking, the proximity of the building to its property line, and the amount and location of play area, future expansion possibilities are limited. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The applicant has proposed 22 parking spaces for the Early Learning Center. Parking for uses not specifically listed in Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code shall be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission. A memo has been attached from the applicant which explores the parking requirements of other communities. The municipalities of Boulder, Denver, and Lakewood, these municipalities would require 18 spaces. In addition, staff has reviewed parking requirements as outlined in "Off-Street Parking Requirements" Planning Advisory Service Report Number 432. Some of the sample parking requirements noted in this report include the following: Aurora, CO -two spaces for each three teachers and one off-street passenger loading place for every eight pupils. With the proposed Early Learning Center, Aurora would require 18 spaces. Orange County, CA -one space per staff member, and one space per five students. With the proposed Early Learning Center, Orange County would require 27 spaces. The Public Works Department has done traffic counts at the Early Learning Center and has found that at times there are more than 25 cars at the existing facility to drop off children. The Planning and Environmental Commission sets the parking requirement for uses not listed in Chapter 12-10 of the Town Code. Some communities have extensive requirements regarding access and parking. Specifically, St. Louis County, MO, requires the following: Two spaces, plus one space for every employee on the maximum shift; a paved unobstructed pick-up space with adequate stacking area (as determined by the Department of Planning) shall be provided in addition to standard driveway and parking requirements, or one space for every six children; a safe 21 pedestrian walkway system (as_ approved by the Department of Planning) through parking areas fo the building entrance, with a safety zone a minimum of 15 feet in width between parking spaces and the front of the building entrance, .shall be provided in addition to standards driveway and parking requirements. The applicant has provided area for snow storage which meets the Town regulations, which state that an area equaling 30% of the paved area be provided for snow storage. Staff believes that the provision of the 5 "live" parking spaces at the entrance to the Early Learning-Center will improve both vehicular and pedestrian circulation into the Early Learning Center. 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. Staff believes that the use is appropriate for the character of the surrounding area. The maximum height of the Early Learning Center is at 26 ft. The building is 2-story building, which staff believes is appropriate given the heights and mass of the adjacent employee housing. The proposed Early Learning Center is located 20 ft. from the side property line, and 18 ft. from the front property line. While the Housing zone district allows deviations from the 20 ft. setback, subject to review by the Planning and Environmental Commission, staff has concerns regarding the ability to buffer the building and the play area with adequate landscaping. This buffering is important when considering the noise level from I-70. The Vail Mountain School has recently installed an air- conditioning system because the windows of the classrooms cannot be open during class because of noise issues. Staff recommends that a landscaping and sound berm, which will include large trees, be included in the landscaping plan for the Early Learning Center. Because the play area is located up to the property line, there is limited room for landscaping on the applicant's property. As proposed, landscaping is located on the CDOT right-of-way. CDOT allows trees that are 4"+ in caliper to be planted within their right-of-way, provided that no trees are planted within 30 feet from the edge of the road. B. FINDINGS The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code 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 22 health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. XI. MAJOR SUBDIVISION A. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF A MAJOR SUBDIVISION Title 13, Subdivision Regulations, of the Vail Town Code establishes the review process and criteria for a major subdivision proposed in the Town of Vail. Pursuant to Chapter 13-3 (Major Subdivision) of the Vail Town Code, the first step in the review process is for the applicant to meet with a Town Planner to discuss the preliminary plan. Staff has met with the applicant on several occasions to discuss the proposal and address submittal requirements. Staff feels the applicant has successfully complied with the initial step in the review process. The Town of Vail is required to notify the following agencies that a major subdivision is proposed and that preliminary plans are available for review: a: Department of Public Works. b.

Within ten days of making a decision on the request, the staff shall forward the Planning and Environmental Commission's decision to the Vail Town Council. The Council may appeal the Planning and Environmental Commission's action. The appeal must be placed within seventeen days of Planning and Environmental Commission's action. If the Council appeals the Planning and Environmental Commission's action, the Council shall hear substantially the same presentation by the applicant as was heard at the Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. The Council shall have thirty days to affirm, reverse, or affirm with modifications the Planning and Environmental Commission decision. The appeal hearing shall be held during a regularly scheduled council meeting. The final step in the review process of a major subdivision request, after Planning and Environmental Commission preliminary plan review, is the review of the final plat. At any time within one year after the Planning and Environmental Commission has taken action on the preliminary plan, a final plat shall be submitted to the Town of Vail Community Development Department. The staff shall schedule a final review of the final plat. The final review shall occur at a regularly scheduled Planning and Environmental Commission public hearing. The. review criteria for a final plat are the same as those used in reviewing the preliminary plan as identified in Section 13-3-4 of the Subdivision Regulations. According to Section 13-3-9: Commission Action; Public Hearing: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall review the final plat and associated material and information and shall approve, approve with modifications, or disapprove the plat within twenty one (21) days of the public hearing on the final plat of the subdivision or the final plat is deemed approved.

The Town of Vail has the ability to require certain improvements when approving a major subdivision. The following improvements shall be required by the applicant unless otherwise waived by the zoning administrator, Planning and Environmental Commission, or Council: 1. Paved streets and parking lots; 2. Bicycle and pedestrian path linked with the town system and within the subdivision itself; 3. Traffic control signs, signals or devices; 4. Street lights; 5. Landscaping; 24 6. Water lines and fire hydrants; 7. Sanitary sewer lines; 8. Storm drainage improvements and storm sewers; 9. Bridges and culverts; 10. Electric lines; 11. Telephone lines; 12. Natural gas lines; 13.Other improvements not specifically mentioned above but found necessary by the Town Engineer due to the nature of the subdivision. B. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A MAJOR SUBDIVISION Chapter 13-3, Vail Town Code provides the criteria by which a proposed major subdivision is to be reviewed. Section 13-3-4: Commission Review of Application; Criteria, Vail Town Code states: The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to show that the application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zoning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Planning and Environmental Commission deems applicable. Due consideration shall be given to the recommendations made by public agencies, utility companies and other agencies consulted under subsection 13-3-3C above. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall review the application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to subdivision control, densities proposed, regulations, ordinances and resolutions and other applicable documents, environmental integrity and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and other applicable documents, effects on the aesthetics of the Town. 1. Subdivision Control There are three lots being platted as part of this major subdivision request: Lot Zonin Lot Size Buildable Area Fronta e Lot 1 {lousing 6.673 ac. 4.573 ac. 1,145.75 ft. 290,676 s . ft. 199,200 s . ft. Lot 2 General Use 1.096 ac. Not applicable Via 40 ft. 47,742 s . ft. easement Tract A Natural Area 17.226 ac. Not applicable 1,545.02 ft. Preservation 750,365 s . ft. Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision: Lot 1 is zoned Housing zone district. According to Section 12-61-10: Other Development Standards, Vail Town Code: Prescribed By Planning and Environmental Commission: In the H District, development standards in each of the following categories shall be as proposed by the applicant, as prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission, and as adopted on the approved development plan: 25 A. Lot area and site dimensions. B. Building height. C. Density control (including gross residential floor area). Therefore, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall prescribe the minimum lot size and frontage requirements. Staff believes that the lot size of 290,675.9 sq. ft. and the frontage of 1,145.75 ft. are appropriate for this subdivision. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 will remain zoned General Use. .According. to Section 12-9C-5: Development Standards, Vail Town Code: Prescribed By Planning And Environmental Commission: In the General Use District, development standards in each of the following categories shall be as prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission: 1. Lot area and site dimensions. 2. Setbacks. 3. Building height. 4. Density control. 5. Site coverage. 6. Landscaping and site development. 7. Parking and loading. Therefore, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall prescribe the minimum lot size and frontage requirements. Staff believes that the lot size of 47,741.8 sq. ft. is appropriate for this subdivision. The frontage proposed for Lot 2 is via an existing platted access easement, which is 40 ft. in width Generally, the minimum frontage requirement within the Town of Vail varies from 30 ft. (residential zone districts) to 100 ft. (higher intensity commercial zone districts). Staff believes that given the current access and use of the site, the 40 ft. access easement provides acceptable access to the site. Staff believes that the intent of the frontage requirement has been met and no frontage requirement is necessary. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision Tract A will remain zoned Natural Area Preservation District. There are no minimum lot size or frontage requirements in the Natural Area Preservation District. Staff believes that the configuration of Tract A is appropriate for this subdivision. 2. Densities Proposed The proposed Middle Creek development will be clustered on Lot 1, which is 6.7 acres. No additional development is proposed on Lot 2 or Tract A at this time. 26 Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 1 is zoned Housing zone district, with a land use designation of High Density Residential, as approved in 2001 by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council. The density allowed in the Housing zone district is prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The applicant is currently proposing 142 dwelling units on Lot 1. This is approximately 31 dwelling units per buildable acre and 21 dwelling units per gross acre. For comparison, the density allowed in Lionshead Mixed Use 1 is 35 dwelling units per acre; and 25 dwelling units per buildable acre in the High Density Multiple Family zone district. The land use designation of High Density Residential states that density in this designation would exceed 15 units per buildable acre. Staff believes that this density is appropriate for this subdivision, provided that in the proposed development meets the requirements of the Housing zone district. According to Section 12-61-1: Purpose, Vail Town Code: The housing district is intended to provide adequate sites for employee housing .which, because of the nature and characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development .standards prescribed for other residential zoning districts. It is necessary in this district to provide development standards specifically prescribed for each development proposal or project to achieve the purposes prescribed in section 12-1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. Certain nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses, which are intended to be incidental and secondary to the residential uses of the district. The housing district is intended to ensure that employee housing permitted in the district is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail; to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses. Staff believes that the proposed density is appropriate for this site because it is compatible with surrounding uses. However, this density ensures that development on this site will be extremely complicated. This will lead to structures which are large in scale. Density of this magnitude must be tempered with good design. This proposal also addresses the demand for employee housing that the Town has identified as a critical need. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 is zoned General Use zone district, with a land use designation of Public/Semi-Public. No dwelling units are proposed on Lot 2. The only allowable dwelling units in the General Use zone district are Type III employee housing units. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision 27 Tract A is zoned Natural Area Preservation zone district, with a land use designation of Open Space. Pursuance to Chapter 12-8, Vail Town Code, no dwelling units are permitted in the Natural Area Preservation District. 3. Reputations Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 1 is zoned Housing zone district. The Housing zone district regulations have been attached for reference. Pursuant to Section 12-61- 11, Vail Town Code, any development within the Housing zone district requires an approved development plan. Lot 2, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 will remain zoned General Use. The existing use of the property as a public utility installation will continue. Any changes in use require an amendment to the approved development plan, subject to approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The General Use zone district regulations have been attached for reference. Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision Tract A will remain zoned Natural Area Preservation District. The Natural Area Preservation District regulations have been attached for reference. 4. Ordinances, resolutions and other applicable documents The Vail Town Code and the Vail Land Use Plan are the applicable documents for review of this proposal. The issues relating to the Vail Town Code have been addressed previously in this memorandum. The Vail Land Use Plan contains goals which staff considers to be applicable to the major subdivision request. The applicable goals include: 1.0 General Growth/Development 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. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, wafer and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from 28 the Valley. floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the -Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the marketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5. Environmental Integrity According to the Town of Vail hazard maps, Middle Creek Subdivision is located within a Medium Severity Rockfall hazard and Moderate Hazard Debris Flow. Updated hazard reports have been attached for reference. The hazard mitigation has changed dramatically from the previous proposal. The report recommends that individual buildings be protect, rather than mitigation occurring adjacent to the creek. As .prohibited by Chapter 12-21 ~ of the Town Code, no development will be permitted on slopes greater than 40%. The lots have been configured to minimize the area of 40% slopes on Lot 1. An Environmental Impact Report has been completed by Stewart E~~vironmental Consultants, Inc., and has been attached for reference. The report states that while the proposed development of Lot 1 will have an impact on plant and animal communities presently inhabiting the property, the loss of the 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to plant and animal communities. The report recommends that all trash dumpsters need to be made bear-proof and exterior lighting will need to be minimized. The report additionally states that the impact to Middle Creek could include runoff from paved parking areas. A drainage study has also been included. The drainage report has been completed by Peak Civil Engineering, Inc., which is attached reference. The drainage study states that runoff from the proposed development will follow existing drainage patterns. A traffic study has been attached for review. The study states that the traffic generated by the proposal will be less than most apartment complexes of comparable size, due to the proximity to other modes of transportation. 29 6. Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses Adjacent land uses to the entire Middle Creek Subdivision include the following: Solar Vail - amultiple-family housing project currently zoned High Density Multiple Family. Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. Parcel B, Spraddle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zoned Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacent to Lot 1. I-70 Right-of-Way -land owned by CDOT but located within Town of Vail boundaries.. As a road right-of-way, there is no zoning on the property. This property is adjacent to Lot 1. White River National Forest -land owned by the United States Forest Service outside of the Town of Vail boundary. Staff believes that the subdivision is compatible with surrounding land uses. 7. Effects Upon the Aesthetics of the Town and Surrounding Land Uses The existing Mountain Bell tower and structure will not change with this application. Approximately 17 acres will remain open space. Lot 1 will be developed within the parameters of the Housing Zone District. According to Section 12-61-1'1: Development Plan Required: Compatibility With Intent: To ensure the unified development, the protection of the natural environment, the compatibility with the surrounding area and to assure that development in the Housing District will meet the intent of the District, a development plan shall be required. The review of the development plan for the site by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board include considerations regarding aesthetics. Approval of a development plan in the housing zone district requires that the Planning and Environmental Commission find that: Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties, and the surrounding neighborhood. The Design Review Board has reviewed the proposed development plan on numerous occasions to ensure compliance with the Town of Vail Design Guidelines. XII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION A. Development Plan in the Housing Zone District The Department of Community Development recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approve the applicant's request for development plan approval. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria in 30 Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings: 1. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically sensitive areas and other environmentally sensitive areas. 2. Proposed building setbacks will provide adequate availability of light, air and open space. 3. Proposed building setbacks will provide a .compatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. 4. Proposed building setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescribed setback standards. 5. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. 6. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. 7. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. 8. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. 9. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. 10. Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. 11. The deviations to the parking requirement as outlined in Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code, specifically regarding the number of compact spaces and tandem spaces, are acceptable and the Parking Management Plan will provide for adequate parking on the site.

The Middle Creek Affordable Housing Development seeks to establish affordable employee housing for the residents of Vail. It will provide 142 units of affordable housing, a community center, and an early learning center on a 6.673 acre site. The site is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell building, between the Vail Village roundabout and the Lionshead pedestrian bridge. The proximity to the center of town presents the possibility of atransit-oriented development, reducing the use of the automobile in favor of pedestrian and bus traffic. The development does provide 248 parking spaces meeting the Town of Vail standards. The Middle Creek developi~nent contains 3 residential buildings (A, B, and C), and the early learning center. Building A is situated on the bus pull-out and houses community center functions as well as living units. Building B and C are clustered to preserve open space. The buildings step up the slope from south to north responding to existing grades; inspired by European hill town massing. All building heights respect the existing Mountain Bell tower, reinforcing its image. Building C includes covered, structured parking for 211 automobiles, significantly reducing the need for surface asphalt on the site. The density is 21.3 dwelling units/acre, and over 60% of the site is open space (both natural and landscaped). non~onnn. The 142 units of affordable housing are divided into four separate unit types: studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. The majority of the units are three bedroom or studio units. Some unit types incorporate variations, providing a wide range of unit choices to accommodate many types of living situations. Building A contains the cormunity center on the ground level with studio units above. The community center will contain a leasing office, laundry facilities, Attach~er~t: F resident's lounge, mailboxes, etc. There will be a Town of Vail bus stop directly in front of this building. The composition of building A with the bus stop will establish this as the entry into the Middle Creek development. The new early learning center will replace the existing ABC/Learning Tree Child Care Center on the site. It will serve up to 60 children and 12-15 staff with a gross area of approximately 4,800 square feet. The early learning center contains five classrooms, a studio, a kitchen and an outdoor play area. SITE: The Mountain Bell site is arranged around four axes, which create distinct view corridors and organize the site as a whole. Two of these axes direct the eye to the existing Mountain Bell tower, reinforcing this significant piece of the Town of Vail's architectural heritage. The west portion of the site preserves the existing mature vegetation and makes use of a portion of the existing roadway to the Mountain Bell tower. The existing natural landscape will be an effective screen from the west and help nestle the new construction into the site. The buildings are clustered around the base of the Mountain Bell Tower thereby minimizing surface asphalt and creating efficient pedestrian circulation. There is significant open space and separation between the clustered residential buildings and the early learning center to the east. This open space corridor provides a strong connection to the existing natural areas to the north. The site organization of the development maximizes open space by clustering buildings, effectively reducing the visual density of the project. The bus stop is placed just inside the main entrance of the development, allowing easy and safe transit access and minimizing curb cuts. The early learning center, near the eastern edge of the development, has both privacy and a direct connection to the surrounding open space. The buildings step down to the south and east reflecting the slope of adjacent grade. Pedestrian circulation is well defined by walks and patterned paving connecting residential buildings to a continuous bike path along the south edge of the parcel. PHASING PLANS: There are no anticipated phasing plans in place at this time. However, in an effort to begin site work in the fall of 2002, the developer may seek a site work permit after all appropriate approvals have been received. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE H ZONE DISTRICT: A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. This development respects and incorporates the existing architecture of the town of Vail. The character and scale of the buildings reflects the existing "European mountain village" feel of the town. The Mountain Bell building, a significant Vail architectural landmark, maintains its status as a centerpiece of the development. The orientation of the buildings provides solar access and creates south-facing open spaces. The clustering of buildings minimizes the visual density of the development. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. This development provides needed housing for the working population of Vail. Within the development, units are provided for individual workers as well as working families. The Mountain Bell Site will be atransit-oriented development, reducing automobile usage in favor of bus and pedestrian traffic. The density of the buildings allows more room for open spaces and natural areas. The development plan successfully introduces a large amount of housing while remaining sensitive to the prominent nature of this site. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. The clustering of the buildings on the site reduces the visual impact. The spaces around the buildings themselves are pedestrian plazas where residents can interact. Between the residential and early learning areas of the development, a landscaped area provides a separation and a natural area of open space. A bicycle and pedestrian path will connect the development to the pedestrian bridge to the west. A structured outdoor recreation area has been integrated into the site using berming and landscaped features. Natural trails provide connections within the site and to the surrounding open space. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. A central spine of vehicular circulation allows efficient access and takes advantage of the elongated east-west axis of the site, creating a maximum 5% grade. There is parking under or near each building. The entire site is served by a Town of Vail bus stop and abicycle/pedestrian path which will ultimately connect to the pedestrian bridge, reducing the need for cars overall. Pedestrian circulation within the site takes place along a corridor which follows the central spine yet remains separate from vehicular traffic. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the projects environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. Yes, these impacts have been- identified in the environmental impact report, and will be implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. A preliminary mitigation plan has been submitted to the PEC, and a mitigation specialist has been retained to finalize the construction plans. °' 09/20/2002 09:38 3036707162 ODELL ARCHITECT F'A(~t by/b5 Ear y Learning Center at Middle Creek Affordable Housing The =arly Learning Center n:places the ABC-Learning Tree Child Care center currc::ntly on the Mountain Bell site. The new building will house 5 classrooms, a studio area, kitchen, adminis~:rative and outdoor play areas. it will accommodate 12-15 staff members and serve up to 60 children from the ages of 2 to 5-1l2 in a caring and educational envircanment. The nature of the proposed use is further described in the summary pi ~~gram provided. RELATIONSHIP TO DEVEL.~~PMENT OBJECTIVES: The Early Learning Center replaces an already existing childcare center on the Mountain Bell site. There should be no additional impact on the Town of Vail Dev~:lopment Objectives. EFFECT ON PUBLIC FACILITIES AND AREAS: As tl~e proposed Early Learning Center replaces a use which already exists on the IVlountain Bell Site, it sh~~vld have no additional measurable effects on public facif ities areas. EFFECT UPON TRAFFIC: This: information is listed in tl~e provided traffic study. COIJIPATIBILITY ISSUES: Cor'siderable measures will be taken to separate the busy activities of the houising development from the quieter activities of the early learning center. The Early Learning Center is on the East end of the site, separated from all of the 09/20/2002 09:38 3036707162 ODELL ARCHITECT PAGE 03/05 livinc units. There is a separ'~~te entrance from North Frontage Road providing access to 22 parking spaces dedicated to the Early Learning Center facility. A turn:;~round provides easy drop off for patrons and provides the required marn:uvering space for emergency vehicles. Because of its position on the east~:rn end of the site, the ELC has access to the open space surrounding the Mou stain Be11 site as well. Ire addition, the adjacency of the housing and chilclcare uses provides resi~fients of the development with the opportunity to fulfill their child-care needs on-sits:, enhancing the nature of this transit-oriented development. CHI-.RACT_ER: The character of the Early Lr:arning Center should benefit the surrounding area. The siting of the new ELC nkjar Frontage Road will allow it to take on a new visit:ility, separate from the 1ti9iddle Creek development itself and the Mountain Bell building. It will become a beacon in the community as a center of learning and a place for young childra3n. 09/20/2002 09:38 3036707162 ODELL ARCHITECT PAGE 04/05 Summary Earl earning Center Pro m Summa The Early Learning CE:nter is an all-day school program.

INTRODUCTIO Odell Architects, PC retained Stewart Environmental Consultants Inc. to perform an Environmental Impact Assessmel~t of the proposed Middle Creek Village development. The property is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell facility, directly north across Interstate 70 from Vail Village. The proposed project consists of multi-family housing constructed on a 6.5-acre site owned by the Town of Vail. l~he purpose of the project is to provide affordable housing for people currently employed in Vail, who are presently living in or near the community. The project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19th Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80203-1035. The site location is depicted on Figures 1 through 3. Photographs of the site are. provided as Figure 4. II PIIRP(1SF The purpose of performing the Environmental Impact Assessment is to achieve the following objectives: A. Availability of Information: To ensure that complete information on the environmental effects of the proposed ftroject is available to the Town Council, the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the general public. B. Environmental Protection A Criterion: To ensure that long-term protection of the environment is a guiding criterion in project planning, and that land use and development decisions, both public an~~ private, take into account the relative merits of possible alternative actions. C. Review and Evaluation Procedure: To provide procedures for local review and evaluation of the environmental effects of proposed projects prior to granting of permits or other authorizations for ~:ommencement of development. D. Avoid Geologic Hazard ,4reas: To ensure that the buildings are not constructed in geologic hazard areas, by way of illustration, flood plains, avalanche paths, rockfall areas, where such hazar~~ cannot practically be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Planning and Environment;~l Commission and the Town Council. E. Protect Water Quality: l~o ensure that the quality of surface water and ground water within the Town of Vail will be protected from adverse impacts and/or degradation due to construction activities. [Orcl. 37 (1980) 10: Ord. 19 (1976) 14: Ord. 8 (1973) 16.100) 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 1 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado PROJECT BACKGROUND AIND DESCRIPTION Site Concept The initial conceptual design approach for Middle Creek Village housing is meant to reflect a new model of multi family hou:>ing in mountain communities. The site parameters and community context were the prune motivators for the layout of the buildings and parking; however, the solution incorporates some planning principles of a more "urban" nature. The buildings are arranged aroun~~ a pedestrian oriented "street" which creates an axis running east to west across the site. The "street" rises to the center of the project, following the contours of the site. Entries into individual units as well as project amenities will occur along the path, and it is envisioned to include both hardscape and landscape areas. The pedestrian street will be an active place reminiscent of other village centers in the community. Encouraging the use of alternate transportation, our team proposes to work with the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Town of Vail to create a project specific transit stop, as well as develop pedestrian and bi~:ycle access from the site into town. These are accessible to the residences along a central pe~~estrian spine that runs down the hill and through atwo-story opening in the center building, ending at the proposed transit stop.. Given that a large segment of the market for this project will be seasonal employees, our team believes the daily use of the automobile can be minimal. Consequently, the relationship between the car and the building is downplayed in our solution. Separating vehicle parking from tf~e buildings allows the project to create a pedestrian oriented "village" character and allows the buildings to be sited closer together, thus visually reinforcing this image. This is similar to the exterior pedestrian spaces created by the architecture at areas such as Bridge Street in Vail Vill~~ge and Lionshead Village. The siting of the parking areas behind the buildings will also help shield views of the lots from the frontage road and from across the valley. The Early Learning Center has teen sited to the far eastern edge of the site, but is easily accessible from the residences on the loop road. This configuration provides a nicely separated site for the children's facility. The overall site concept adheres closely to the existing contours of the site. The buildings rise and fall across the length of the ~;ite with the terrain, creating an undulating profile that further reinforces the "village" concept. Building Concept Further reinforcing the "village" concept, the buildings are designed as three separate building types. All the buildings will be one unit deep, creating cross flow ventilation and economy of construction. There are no enclose=d walkways or stair towers, as the site allows the majority of units to be accessed at grade. Int~;rnal floor plans will develop stacked plumbing cores, and the mix of units will be designed to minimize structural offsets and maximize construction simplicity. Each of the six residential buildings includes cone-story element on the end which houses laundry and storage facilities for that building. The building orientation creates maximum 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 2 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado southern exposure for every unit. The fact that the buildings are simply one unit deep creates excellent opportunities for flow-through ventilation. Our proposal will incorporate highly efficient mechanical and electrical designs. We believe on a scale of zero to five our development will achieve a five, or the highest efficiency rating available. Since all units are accessed from grade or a small stair, there are no interior corridors to heat or cool, further enhancing overall energy efficiency. Please refer to our preliminary LEED evaluation in Section VI-J for additional information on energy and sustainability. The overall character of the building design is meant to reinforce the "village" concept, with varying building types, massing, and styles creating a cohesive whole. Stylistically, we will incorporate the tradition of Vail Valley architecture while maintaining an economical design. This can be achieved by the judicious use of distinct design elements throughout the project. In a cost sensitive project, forms may be simple, but the sensitive use of massing, scale, and rhythm can create an architecturE~ that is respectful of, and complimentary to, the surrounding architecture of Vail Valley. The ~;xciting architectural design and pedestrian street space will create a of choice for potential employees. IV. SITE DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY Location The subject property is an irregular shaped, approximate 6.5-acre mountainside site; its location is described as a part of the South '/2 of the Southeast '/4 of Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 80 West of the 6'h PM, Tovvn of Vail, Eagle County, Colorado. The property adjoins the existing Mountain Bell property located north of the I-70 North Frontage Road. Zoning A majority of the subject site is Presently zoned "NAPD" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site ~vvhere two early learning centers are located is zoned "G" (General). The proposed project will require rezoning the 6.5-acre site to the designation "H" (Housing). Site Usage The property is owned by the Town of Vail. Onsite development includes two small wooden structures presently housing early childhood learning centers. They are located directly east of the offsite Mountain Bell structure. Site development plans call for demolition of the two early childhood learning facility structurE~s with construction of a new learning center at the southeast portion of the site. The remainder of the site is undeveloped open land except for the existing road and parking area that serves the off-site Mountain Bell facility and the onsite early learning facilities. The proposed use of the property was described in Section I, above. Hvdroloqic Conditions No surface bodies of water are located on the proposed project site. Onsite surface drainage is mainly via sheet flow and is generally southerly, although the western portion of the site likely drains to Middle Creek, located oft site just to the west of the entry road. A man-made drainage 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 3 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado channel adjoins the eastern side ~~f the Mountain Bell structure. Soil and drainage issues are described in reports provided under separate cover by Koechlein Engineering and Peak Land Consultants, Inc. Geologic Conditions A geologic report by RJ Irish, Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. is provided under separate cover. Biotic Conditions Ecologically, the property is located in the Montane Zone at elevations of approximately 8,220 to 8,300 feet above mean sea level ~~n a southerly aspect. Regarding plant communities, the site is described as complex as it contains elements of several communities. These include Montane Grasslands and Mixed Mountain Shrubland located on the eastern portion of the mountainside with Aspen stands occurring at the southeastern portion of the site. These communities include representati~ies of most of the life forms of the plant kingdom including ferns, grasses, forbes, shrubs, anti trees. Native and non-native vegetation is present including invasive species of noxious weeds. The western area of the property is mainly Montane Riparian Forest dominated by Narrow-leaf Cottonwoods (Populus angustafolia) and a scattering of Thin-leaf Alder (Alnus incana) rind Aspen (Populus tremuloides). Presence of Aspen as well as species of invasive weedy forbes indicate the likelihood of past disturbance such as fire. Climax community species such pis Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) are located off site higher up the Middle Creek drain~~ge, but Blue Spruce and other climax community trees were not observed on site. Wildlife uses the site; large mammals including deer and elk browse on the Serviceberry and Current located in the Mixed Mountain Shrubland Community. Other mammals including Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden-mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, and other rodent species likely feed ~3nd/or inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species of Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located, on site. Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the property's western boundary, the creek is not likely used as a rriigratory corridor. Interstate70 and development adjoining the south side of I-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of I-70 to its confluence with Gore Creek south of I-70. No known threatened or endangE:red species of plants or animals have been identified at the site. However, no onsite survey,; for such species are known to have been performed. .The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (1999) lists the status of various animals, plants, and plant communities found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle County list is provided in Appendix: A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS "Environmental Review" of the subject site anti adjacent area. The review searches known ecological information regarding the status ~~f plants, plant communities, and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. ThE~ review will report the status of these communities. Middle Creek, a relatively pristine stream that likely contains Native Cutthroat Trout, traverses the adjacent property to the west of the subject site. The creek flows out of a saddle located to 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 4 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado the north upslope from the site. It flows southerly down slope, jogs west around the Mountain Bell building, and then flows southerly for approximately 150 feet paralleling the west side of the entry road to Mountain Bell. It enters a culvert beneath I-70 and the associated frontage roads and flows through the culvert south of I-70 to its discharge point into Gore Creek south of the interstate. Gore Creek flows westerly to its confluence with the Eagle River near Minturn. The existing creek channel ma~~ not be the historic creek channel. Stream modification (channelization) appears to have Seen conducted upstream of the culvert adjacent to the entry road. This 150-foot reach is likely the closest location of the stream to the subject property. The stream bank, as well as its associated vegetation, appears disturbed along this reach. Observed vegetation was mainly upland in nature with both native (Western wheat grass- Agropyron sp.) and non-native species of grasses (brome-Bromus enurmus), as well as invasive noxious weeds (See Figure 4 photographs, page 2). Upstream from this reach and off site from the subject property, a riparian corridor of wetland vegetation adjoins the stream channel. Adjoining the east side of the entry road, adjacent to its 150-foot north/south orientation, is a Narrow-leaf Cottonwood (Populu~: angustifolia) community. This species is referenced in the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service publication, National List of Plant Species That Occur In Wetlands: Intermountain (Region 8). Its indicator category is listed as "Facultative", which is described as "Equally likely to occur in wetlands or nonwetlands (estimated probability 34%-66%). The presence of this community may be due to a former location of the stream channel or may be due to high groundwater conditions existing near the stream channel. The Narrow-leaf Cottonwood Community continues to the north (off site) and south (on site) of the entry road after the road turn;; east. Figure 4 Photographs, page 2, depicts the entry road along its east/west orientation witf-~ the Narrow=leaf Cottonwood Community adjoining both sides of the road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; it~ does not necessarily confirm their presence. Actual wetland existence can only be determined by performing a wetland assessment, which not only considers vegetation type, but also investigates other factors including the presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Montane Environmental Solutions of Vail, Colorado is presently investigating wetland issues at the site. A letter regarding the status of their investigation is provided under separate cover. V. ENVIRJNMENTAL CONCERPJS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed Middle Creek Village will impact plant and- animal communities presently inhabiting the property. Site development including earth moving activities and building/parking lot construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5-acre site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the north, east, and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat, and wildlife species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and animal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearby similar habitat. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 5 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Landscaping including grass, shrubs, and trees will cover a minimum of 30% of the developed site. Middle Creek Village will be sensitively integrated into environmental surroundings. Birds, insects, and possibly small mammals will utilize the landscaped areas, which will mitigate some habitat loss. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent property by wildlife -- particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may influence adjoining habitat use. Adjoining property is private so that residents of the village should not be using adjoining properties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. Impact to Middle Creek from, surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potenti;~lly impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. If dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. A:s previously referenced, drainage issues are addressed in a report under separate cover. Montane Environmental Solutions is performing a wetland assessment. As previously referenced, a potential exists for the existence of jurisdictional wetlands in the vicinity of the Narrow-leaf Cottonwood Forest located adjacent to the existing access road. The presence. of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; it does not necessarily confirm their presence. We recommend performing a wetland assessment conforming to US Army Corps of Engineers (The Corps) guidelines. If on-site wetlands are identified, several alternatives are available. The~;e include: 1) establishing development setbacks from the wetlands 2) wetlands can be taken through the 404 Permitting process and replacement performed to mitigate the loss or 3) if the wetlands are below minimum surface areas established by the Corps„ they may be removed and built upon. If on-site jurisdictional wetlands are identified, The Corps is the agency regulating such matters. A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek lies north and west of this area. Impacts to the riparian corridor and wildlife using the corridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 6 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado VI. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS A. Land Acquisitions and Displ~~cements The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Approximately 6.5 acres of land is required; the developer/project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19"' Ave., Suite 700, Denver, CO 80203-1035. The Town of Vail owns the land. It is proposed that the Town of Vail will lease the site to the developer fora 53-year period at which time the property will revE~rt to the Town. Two displacements will .result frorn implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood learning centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolished, and new facilities will be constructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regulations require a full IJational Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. If the inspection identifies asbestos-containing materials, regulations require their removal prior to demolition of the buildings. No minority communities, households, or minority-owned businesses are located on site, and therefore, will not be impacted by any potential negative environmental concerns such as noise, air, or water pollution; or from the ~:onstruction of the facility. B. Land Use and Zoning The impact is "Generally Not Significant". A majority of the subject site is f~resently zoned "NAPD" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned G. The proposed project will require rezoning to the designation "H" (Housing). C. Visual Conditions Parking areas will be located ber~ind housing thereby shielding it from view from the Town of Vail. Overall project form and messing is in character with existing Vail Village. The height, mass, and materials that will be u:~ed in the proposed Middle Creek Village will convey a sense of permanence and contextual anti regional appropriateness. D. Air Quality The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The project will conform to all aE~plicable local, state, and federal air quality regulations and standards, including, but not limited to those regulating odor, dust, fumes of gases, which are noxious, toxic, or corrosive, and suspended solid or liquid particles. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 7 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Fireplaces will not be installed in 1:he development thereby eliminating wood smoke. There will be no balconies or decks that would provide space for grills or barbecues. There may be a grill in a public area of the complex. The Middle Creek Village project is designed to discourage vehicle usage and encourage other modes of transportation such as buses, biking, and walking. TDA of Colorado performed a transportation impact analysis rec~arding the proposed Middle Creek Village. Their report is provided under separate cover. 'the report indicates that the impact of traffic generated by the proposed project will be "Generally Not Significant". E. Noise The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Stewart Environmental identified no noise-sensitive land uses on adjacent properties. The proposed site is located adjacent to the north side of I-70. The noise from the interstate is far greater than any that would be produced by the development. F. Light Pollution The Middle Creek Village development will have minimal light trespass from the residential buildings. G. Flooding The impact is "Possibly Significant". ' Peak Land Consultants, Inc. addresses flooding issues in a report provided under separate cover. H. Navigable Waterways and Coastal Zones The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The proposed site is not located near or affected by a navigable waterway or a coastal zone. I. Traffic and Parking The impact is "Generally Not Significant". TDA of Colorado performed a traffic study. Their report is provided under separate cover. J. Energy Requirements and Potential for Conservation The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The proposed project is expected to result in energy conservation. The Vail Affordable Housing Project, Vail, Colorado incorporates principles of sustainable design and utilizes design strategies to reduce its energy and environmental impact. The U.S. Green Building Council's 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 8 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is here used as a preliminary sustainable design mE~asure of the project. As it is currently.writien, LEED version 2.0 is a system designed to rate new .and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. It specificall~~ rates low-rise residential projects. The USGBC is currently developing a residential version of the LEED rating system. Nevertheless, the sustainable design principles embodied in LEED v. 2.0 serves as useful goals, guidelines, and measure for sustainable features of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. The LEED rating system consist: of seven prerequisite criteria and 32 user-selected criteria organized into five categories: • Sustainable Site Developrr~ent • Water Efficiency • Energy and Atmosphere • Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality LEED is a voluntary, consensus-based, market-driven building rating system based on available proven technology that evaluates environmental performance from a "whole building" perspective over a building's life cycle. The following preliminary LEED analysis incorporates input from the design team to more accurately evaluate the conceptual design of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. K. Construction The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Construction of the Middle Creek `Jilage is anticipated to commence in March 2002 and will last for approximately 18 months, therefore any construction impacts will be temporary and of short duration. All construction staging will be located on site and construction activities predominantly will be confined to this site. Contractors will be required to obtain the necessary permits and comply with all relevant town, state and federal regulations regarding construction and safety. Potential construction impacts are described below. Noise No noise-sensitive land uses are located on adjacent property. Construction hours and noise levels will comply with the Town of Vail policies. Disruption of Utilities It is anticipated that there will be no disruption of utilities, and therefore no significant impact with this activity. construction of all .utilities to serve the site will be contained within the proposed site. Disposal of Debris and S 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 9 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail. Colorado Demolition of two building~~ is required as previously referenced. All construction debris will be disposed at an approved landfill and transported on designated truck routes. The general contractor will be responsible for on-site cleanup and disposal of debris. Soil fill may be required to elevate buildings above the 100-year flood plain. Disposal of soil is not required. Water Quality and Runofi~ Project construction will n~~t impact existing water quality. The general contractor will comply with water quality requirements for site construction to meet state water quality regulations. Best Man~~gement Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction including the use of erosion control measures. Access and Disruption of Traffic City streets will not have any significant impact since the site is located directly off the I- 70 North Frontage Road. Any frontage road diversions will be addressed with a detour plan. Air Quality and Dust Control Standard construction practices and BMPs will be used to control and minimize onsite dust and emissions. Safety and Security Standard construction safety measures will be observed on site. Town of Vail police will ensure security. Disruption of Businesses; No businesses are located in the immediate vicinity of the project area. L. Aesthetics The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The height, mass, and materials that will be used in the proposed Middle Creek Village will convey a sense of permanence and contextual and regional appropriateness. In addition, the facility design will promote an orderly circulation and efficient integration of buses, other vehicles, and pedestrians. M. Community Disruption The impact is "Generally Not Significant". No businesses or residential sectors will be disrupted or displaced, and no segments of the community will be isolated as a re:~ult of this proposed project. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 10 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado N. Secondary Development The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The proposed project will not generate secondary development. The project is an outcome of the community's determination to provide affordable housing for people already employed in Vail and are presently living in or near the community. The proposed housing project indirectly addresses the cause of traffic-related problems. O.

SUMMARY Odell Architects, PC retained Stewart Environmental to perform an Environmental Impact Assessment of the proposed Middle Creek Village development located in Vail, Colorado. Based on the findings contained in this report, the following conclusions have been drawn and opinions and recommendations m:~de: 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 11 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Findings, Conclusions, Opinions and Recommendations The proposed Middle Creek Village development is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell facility, directly north ;cross Interstate 70 from Vail Village. The proposed project consists of multi-family housing constructed on a 6.5-acre site owned by the Town of Vail. The project will not promote secondary development. The purpose of the project is to provide affordable hou~~ing for people currently employed in Vail who are presently living in or near the commcanity. The project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19th Ave., Suite 700, DenvE~r Colorado 80203-1035. 2. A majority of the subject site is presently zoned "NAPD" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned G. The proposed project will require rezoning to the designation "H" (Housing). 3. Environmental issues regarding the proposed project are addressed in reports provided under separate cover. ~rhese include a) geologic hazards - RJ Irish, Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc., b) drainage issues -Peak Land Consultants, Inc., c) soils - Koechlein Engineering, ancj d) traffic - TDA of Colorado. 4. Wetland issues were idE;ntified and are addressed within this report. Montane Environmental Solutions of vail, Colorado is presently performing an in-depth investigation of the wetland issues. A letter regarding the status of their investigation is provided under separate cover. 5. Wildlife uses the site; IargE~ mammals including deer and elk browse on the Serviceberry and Current located in the Mixed Mountain Shrubland Community. Other mammals including Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden-mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, and other rodent species likely feed and/or inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species ~~f Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located on site. Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the propE~rty's western boundary, the creek is not likely used as a migratory corridor. Inter;state70 and development adjoining the south side of I-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of I-70 co its confluence with Gore Creek south of I-70. 6. No known threatened or endangered species of plants or animals have been identified ai the site. However, no on-site surveys for such species are known to have been performed. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (1999) lists the status of various animals, plants and plant communities found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle County list is ,provided in Appendix A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS "Environmental Review" of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecological informati~~n regarding the status of plants, plant communities and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. The review will report the status of these communities. The proposed Middle CreE~k Village will impact plant and animal communities inhabiting the property. Site development including earth moving activities and building/parking lot 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 12 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation, including noxious weeds, and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5-acre site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the north, east and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat and wildlife species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and Minimal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearby similar habitat. 8. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent property by wildlife, particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may influence adjoining habitat use. Adjoining property is private so that residents of the Village should not be usincl adjoining properties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflect~:d light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. 9. Impact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located s~ich that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potentially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the proje~:t design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all ~~pplicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. If dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. 10. A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek lies north and west of this area. Impacts to the riparian corridor and wildlife using the corridor ;adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. 11. Two displacements will result from implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood learning centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolish=d and new facilities will'be constructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regulations require a full National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. If the inspection identifies asbestos-containing materials, mitigation (abatement/removal) per regulations will be performed prior to demolition of the buildings. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 13 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado VIII.

INTRODUCTION Montane Environmental Solutions, Ltd. (Montane) was retained by Odell Architects, (Client) to identify jurisdictional wetlands that may occur on the `Mountain Bell Property' adjacent to the North Frontage Road in Vail, CO. The Site is proposed for an affordable housing community. The detailed description of the property is the SE 1/4 of Section 6, Toumship 4 South, Range 80 West, West 106° 22' 49", North 39° 38' 46" (Site). It is accessed from the main Vail Interchange, west on the North Frontage Road for approximately 200 yds, then first right on Mountain Bell Road, signposted for a day care center. The delineation was conducted on September 27 and October 15, 2001 as part of planning efforts to develop an affordable housing community for the Town of Vail. II. VICINITY AND GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION The 6-7 acre property is situated on south facing slopes overlooking I-70 and the main Tov~~n of Vail. Due to its southerly aspect the surrounding slopes are generally dry with sagebrush and stands of aspen. The property, knov~m locally as the `Mountain Bell' Site is the existing home of the US West radio tower (to remain) and a small day care center (to be incorporated into the new development). Native vegetation in the vicinity is sagebrush on the dry south facing slopes, however Middle Creek runs along the north and west property boundary. The creek, combined v~~ith evident seeping from the steep slopes above has created riparian cottonwood forest_~ over much of the west end of the Site. The East end of the site is significantly drier with sagebrush and open aspen woodlands. III. WETLAND DESCRIPTION The entire Site was visited and any wetlands identified, except for the parcel west of the US west tower and north of die access Road (identified as QWest on FIGURE 2). This area is a moist riparian cottonwood forest and may have areas of wetland. It is not proposed for construction as part of dais project. Wetlands were found only in the immediate vicinity of Middle Creek. In the lower stretches of Middle Creek, near die frontage road, up to where the access road swings away from the creek, (FIGURE 3) wetlands are very narrow fringe riverine, with steeply incised banks likely due to the road building. Middle Creek was not delineated to the west of the US West building until the north end of the building where the US West property meets the site of potential boulder retention site, north of Wetland Delineaion - Mouraain BeA Site, Vail p.1 the tower (FIGURE 4). Wetlands north of die US West tower are narrow fringe in places but have a better developed floodplain v~ith less steeply inci.~ed banks that the lower stretches adjacent to the roads. There are side channels from the creek however they appear to be active for insufficient time or frequency to have developed wetland vegetation. Sample point 1 was taken in cottonwood woodlands at the south-v-~est corner of the site between Mountain Bell Road and the Frontage Road. No wetlands were identified. A. HYDROLOGY The narrow fringe riverine wetland is supported by the high water flows of the creek and its alluvial aquifer. Middle Creek is a low order perennial creek originating on the mountain slopes above the Site. A gaging station is located on the stretch adjacent to the Frontage Road. USGS hydrological data indicates that Middle Creek peaks in June with average daily discharges of approximately 70cfs. B. SOILS There are no soil maps available for the Vail area. Sampled soils were sandy clay loam with moderate chroma. In the upper reaches of the creek, deep pockets of duff are evident of rich soils associated v~~ith the riparian woodlands. C VEGETATION The wetland is a mosaic of riparian and wetland species. Narrowleaf cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) woodlands dominate the west portion of the Site, grading into drier Aspen (Populus tremuloides) woods and then finally into open sagebrush (Seriphidium tridentatum). Wetlands were very narrow fringe adjacent to Middle Creek with a poor herbaceous understory. Some of thi`~ could. be attributed to the late season delineation.

METHODS LLSED The wetland delineation methods used were in accordance with the U.S. Arm~Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, January 1987. A routine on-site inspection for 'Areas Equal to or Less than 5 Acres in Size' was performed. The data for the sampling points included vegetation and hydrology indicators. Soil pits were dug in the different vegetative communities to a depth of 16- inches. They were used to identify the presence of reduced soil conditions; depth to saturated soil, and depth to free water. Wetland boundaries were determined by the percentage cover of hydroph}rtic plant species (obligate, facultative wet, and facultative), indicators of wetland hydrology, the presence of hydric soils, and topography.

Co>igh:in: As requested, Cl-IURCH & Associates (Church) and Art Mears, P.E. Inc. (Art Mears) have studied the geologic hazards related to debris flows and rock falls at the subject site. The purpose ~~f our work is to summarize our findings and recommend mitigation measures for the planned stru~:tures. This report describes the geology of the site .area .and discusses the geologic hazards present. Art Mears will present design criteria for the structures under separate cover. The project Structurrl Engineer and the project Architect (Odell Architects) will incorporate the design criteria into tae building designs. Koechl~:in Consulting Engineers Inc. is providing. geotechnical recomrnendatians for the proposed development. R. J. Irish performed an Engineering Geologic Hazard Study for the project, as prese;rated in a report dated August 16, 2001. BACKGROUND AND SITE CONDITIONS p.2 The subject property is located in Vail, Eagle County, Colorado. The lot is north of the I ']0 Frontage Road and west ~~f the old Vail exit of Interstate 70. The site is .located in a part of the South 1/2, Southeast 1/4, oP Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 80 West. Affordable, multi-family structures are proposed fo~~ the parcel. The concept grading plan prepared by Peak Land Consult~.nts and the Development Plan Drawing A1.0 by Odell Architects indicate three housing buildings ,ire planned, Buildings A and B of moderate size, and a larger Building C. Existing structures include a 1Vlountain jell telephone building and tower and an Early Learning Center. The Early Learning Canter (ELC) will be moved into a new building in the southeast corner of the site. An access road and parking lots were created for the Mountain Bell building and ELC, with associated cuts and fills to a r laxrmum of about l0 feet hi;;h. Yard areas have also been created on the slope, with smaller cuts a~td fills. The westeri~l and noahern portion of the site are. wooded with cottonwood, aspen, and fir, while the pastern portion i ~ covered with grass and bushes with scattered aspen trees. The property is located on an alluvial fan complex emanating from Middle Creek on the north side of the Vail Valley. Gore Creek runs in the valley bottom and drains to the west.

E edrock on the north side of the valley is comprised of the Minturn Formation, consisting of sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone, shale, and limestone. A portion of tale Bedrock Geolo>?ic, Surficial Deposits and Potential Geolo ig c Hazard Map Eagle County. Colorado by Allen Miller, Consulti 1g Geologist, 1977-78 is presented as Figure 1. The base maps for this study were prepared by Charles S. Robinson & Associates. The Minturn Formation is a Pennsylvanian age deposit described as medium to coarse-grained, gray to reddish-brown, sandstone, ccnglomeritic sandstcme, thin beds of reddish-brown siltstone, and sandy and silty shale and prominent pinkish-gay to gray limestone beds. The property lies on an alluvial fan, and bedrock is only e~pcsed on the steeper slopes northwest of the site and in the channel of iYliddle Creek. The alluvium consists of gravel :o boulder size rock fragments in a matrix of silty sand. Boulders typically range hom 1 to 3 feet near the sitf, but boulders up to 6 feet in diameter occur in the area. The slopes to tl~e north are mantlecf with glacial deposits called Moraine. The Morainal deposits consist of boulders, cobbles, gravel, sand and silt deposited at the margins of the glaciers that once tilled the. Vail vt lfey. These lateral Moraines cover the slopes north of the site up to an elevation of about 8800 tc 9000 feet. When ~~~e observed the channel of Middle Creek north of the site, we noted that the moraine was present on the east side of the valley but the west side had thin colluviunl over bedrock or exposed bedrock. Erosio-i since the end of the last .Ice age has removed much of the Moraine and jeposited it in the Valley bottom as well as in the alluvial fan underlying the site. DEBR[S FLOV'~S p.3 :During times of heavy precipitation or rapid snowmelt, water is concentrated on the slopes above the valley bottonm ~md nins off quickly, creating floodwaters and occasional debris flo Ns. At the relatively high elevation of the Vail area, debris flows are typically created during periods of rapid snotivmelt and nit heavy precipitation from thunderstorms. The drainage basin uphill of the fan is relatively large, ~n the order of 6 or 7 square miles, and the slopes are steep but usually c~~vered with vegetation. For this type of basin, debris flows are typically generated by relatively infrequent slope zailures within tie drainage basin, which introduce large amounts of unconsolidated m~~terials into Middle Creek acid floodwater transports it downstream and ultimately to the fan. 13y comparison, smaller and steeper basins with abundant loose materials on the valley sides generate mare frequent but oil4n smaller debris flows. In order for debris flows to occur, several conditions must exist, ~.ncluding 1)•sufiicient available unconsolidated debris, including soil, rock, and organic material, 2) steep slopes, and 3) a potential for undrained conditions to develop within the initial floe mass. In a soil saturated from snow melt or during, rain, the pore water pressure within the soil increases and only a slight increase in e;cternal stress can induce flow mobilization of debris {liquefaction). Some researchers have suggested the stress increase necessary to cause a failure can be as rrunor as load transfer from swaying trees, small ground vibrations, or strong wind gusts. The relatively tine grained nature of the soil developed on the Minturn Formation increases the risk of undrained a~nditions to occur ill soil singe the Minturn Formation is comprised of sedimentary bedrock with abu Zdant fines, such as shale, ; iltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate. Debris flows are unique in th;it they can transport very large rocks, and can actually gain mass during the flow process. M;css wasting processes typically accumulate coarse materials in existing drainage channels above the fan, where r, apid water runoff from intense storm events or rapid snowmelt causes the coarse material ~ to slide or flow downhill. ~dlmen an area of lower slope gradient is reached, the channels often become blocked tivith debris, and floodwater from higher in tlme basin becomes temporarily blocked behin 1 the debris dams. Once enough water accwnulates, the blockages re-mobilize and debris flows can re;,ult. Sep 12 02 09:38<3 p.4 Geologica l Investigation fob No. 1~6i3 Page 3 An examination of the channel of Middle Creek disclosed source areas on the valley sides, where oversteepened s open in Morainal and Colluvial materials apparently fail periodically aLd introduce soil and rock in~:o the stream channel. We noted slope failures of various ages on both ~ lle east and west sides of thc; channel upstream of the fan. An area of oversteepened Morainal deposit was noted on the past side ~f the 1~liddle Creek channel about 200 feet upstream of the fan. We also noted what nay be old debris flow deposits within the channel at one location .about 500 feet above the fan and what appears to be an old landslide deposit on the east side of Middle Creek about 1000 feet above the fan. An exa:.nple of the kind of deposit that may help to generate debris flows is the landslide deposit 1abeIed c~ds3 (Quaternary age debris slide) on Figure 1 which exists about 3500 feet north of the fan on the w~:st side of the Middle Creek channel. This landslide was apparently devel sped within he colh~vial material and slid downhill to the valley bottom. A similar phenomenon occurred in Booth Creek ea;~,t of the site in May 1984, where a large debris slide and flow occurred on the west side of Booth Creek. This slide (and manly others that year). was initiated at an elevati~~n of about 9400 feet when water issued from bedding planes and fractures within the bedrock ar;d saturated slope materials, causing them to flow downhill into the channel of Booth Creek where a debris flow :filled the creek ~,hannel and almost reached the water treatment plant. The event reportecly occurred over a period of days and included many "pulses" of debris flows. The alluvial fan was examined as part of our study. The active channel of Middle Creek is now Iocated on the extreme western edge of the alluvial fan, but this has not always been the case. Middle reek has moved back and forth across the fan over geologic time as the active channel was blocked ;~y soil and the v~ater charmel was diverted from the area of the soil deposit, The area from the active stream channel i o about 200 feet east shows evidence of numerous gullies and debris tlc w lobes. In this area., old ch.rnnels exist between raised lobes of bouldery materials.. This area appears to be the location of the r.iost recent debris flows on the fan. By comparison, the area from 200 to about 500 `eet east of the present channel is fairly uniform in cross-section. We noted a prominent debris flow deposit about 550 feet east of the channel. This lobate deposit is located south of a fenced yard and is about 5 feet thick. Numerous boulders with a nominal size of about 3 feet in diameter exist within and on the deposit. This deposit and associated field observations are the basis for the design recolnmendatior.sprwented in the Art Mears report. A deflection wall and soil berms were originally envisioned as the mitigation scheme for the project. i-3owev~r, after conducting field work, we believe there is a substantial risk that a Booth Creek type event could rest.lt in a plugged channel between the wall and the steep hillside to the north, and a later flow could overtop the dam and flow south towards the site. Another viable alternative is to individually pro~:ect each sfiructure on the fan that is subject to a debris flow hazard by d~;signing the structures to res: st the forces of a debris flow. Based on our understanding. of the project objectives and corrsi~~aints, we believe the best course of action will be to protect the individual structures. As stated in the Art Mears report, structures at risk are Buildings A and C. RECOM112ENI-ATIONS :debris Flow Ha::ard In order to mitigzte the debris flow hazard for this project, we recommend designing the north wall of Building A and the west wall of Building C to resist forces from a potential debris flo« event. The site has been modeled by Art Mears in order to determine these forces, and his report should be consulted for derailed recommendations. Affected structures should be designed for appii~able forces Sep 12 02 09:39:a Geological Investigation J ~b No. 14613 Page 4 from the ground surface to 6 feet above the ground surface. The entire north building wall of Building A will lie extended 6 feet without openings, and designed to resist the applicable forces. The Dumpster enclo;~ure building located north of Building A will not be occupied, so it will aot need to be designed to resist applicable forces. The west side of Building C will need to be d signed for debris :low forc~s, but since the wall is not normal to the flow direction, the forces are reduced.~A retaining. wall d ~sigrred for the applicable forces will be installed west of the northtive~ t comer of Building C to p'otect the areas where windows exist. The solid metal door on the west side at the southwest co~•ner should be designed to resist applicable forces, as well as the remainin3 west wall without opening ~. The proposed mitigation scheme will be fully compliant with terms of Chapter 21 of the Fail hazards ordinance. The mitigation will not deflect flows onto adjacent public or private property. Rockfall Hazard p.5 We observed the slopes above the site to evaluate the potential for rockfall. Portions of the project area are shown on Vail hazard maps a lying within a "moderate severity" rockfall hazard area. Based on the development plan and our observations, structures that could potentially be effected are Building C a.nd the Early Learning Center (ELC). We examined the slopes above there proposed structures during; our field work in order to evaluate the risk of rock-fall on asite-specific oasis. There are no bedrock +~utcrops above the area of Building C and the ELC that could contribute rocks to the building area. Any rockfall hazard present is related to cobble to boulder sized rocks cont.iined within the Moraine deposit covering the hillslope. While some Large boulders several feet across are partially exposed on the hillslope, we did not observe any that appeared to present a signifi~;ant risk of dislod€;ing naturally within the project Life, assumed to be 100 years. Several smaller rc cks, usually about l foot in diameter or less, have rolled down the hill in recent years and stopped near the bottom of the hill. Roc)•:s of this size, while possibly able to slightly affect the exterior finish of tl-e stnrctures, do not present a significant risk of structural damage, and- we do not believe formal roekfall protection measures are needed. Construction activities may dislodge some rocks from the slope, which should be removed along with any rocks that are noted to be loose on the slo} e above cut areas. The developer and owner should scale loose rocks from the slopes above Building C and the ELC curing construction to reduce the risk for cosmetic damage. In general, the anticip~aed removal area is the steeper slopes below an elevation of about 8380 feet, and not the more gentle ;lopes above this elevation..~ccess to the slope should be restricted since foot tragic on the slope r.iay dislodge rocks. We should observe the area during construction to help guide this process. LIMY'I'ATIOI` S It is important to realize that the risks from geologic hazards cannot be completely eliminated with engineered structures, and that the owner(s) must accept the risk of property damage as;,oocated with the hazard zone on the fan. As stated in the Art Mears report, our recommendations are based .on a reasonably foreseeable event with a return period on the order of 1000 years. Due to geologic uncertainty, it is possible that events larger than assumed herein could occur. We believe, the outlined approach will provide an acceptable level protection for the planned structure and is a reasonable approach for t.ie field conditions, except for the lowest risk approach, which is avoiclance by not buiidirg on the site. We make no warranty of performance of the structures, either expressed or implied. We should review the completed design when available, as well as field conditions during SPp 12 02 09:40<1 Geologica t Imrestigarion fob No. 14613 Page 5 constn:ction.

Evaluation of the debris-flow potential at the affordable housing side; b. Calculation of the debris-flow dynamics through appropriate modeling techniques that take field observations into account; c. Proposal of mitigation at buildings; and d. {:alculation of debris-flow loading potential on the proposed mitigation. This report also has the following limitations, which should be understood b~~ all those relying on the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. a. 1'he analysis is site-specific, thus applies only to the Middle Creek site; b. 1'he mitigation recommendations depend on the Odell Architects c evelopment plan "A1.0," undated; this was the latest available a.3 of tl~e July, 2002 field work; any substantial changes to these plans nay invalidate the findings and recommendations of this report; c. C:aiculations of debris-flow dynamics assume a reasonabl~r foreseeable event with a return period on the order of 1000 years (103' years); extraordinarily large events with sizes in excess of the event assumed here could occur. 2 FIELD OBSERVATIONS The field otservations are discussed in further detail in the accompanying report by David C Ashman. Primary observations are outlined below. 2.1 ~Maior debris-flaw source areas. Atypical potential source area (~~reas ~n+here poten#ially unstable slopes exist) is shown on Figure 1, an enlargement to a scale of 1" = 500' of the U_S. Geological Survey ~~uadrangle map. Large-volume (in excess of 10,000 yd3) exist o~i :steep southeast-facing slopes approximately 500 feet above the !Middle Creek channel. Additional source areas also exist an the west :>ide of the valley farther to the north or to the south of tha# shown on 1=figure 1. The large Booth Creek debris flow of May, 1984 started in ;~n area similar to the one shown. 2.2 Iytinor debris-flow source arses. Minor source areas also exist within :mall landslide features on the east side of the valley a short dist~~nce s~bove the old (deactivated) U.S. Geological Survey gaging station. 'these landslides are too small to show on Figure 1. 2.3 I~revious flows. The Middle Creek channel has extensive prior dE~bris 11ow and flood deposits. These consist of boulders (up to 3 feet iri diameter), smaller rocks, soil, and vegetative debris. The flow deposits are lobate in shape within the channel and on the alluvial fan 08x1,4/2002 16:37 9706413236 ART MEARS PAGE 03 2 above Interstate 70, characteristic of debris flows. The lobes are up to 5 feet in thickness. A 3-foot diameter rock is considered to be of the size to be used in design for impact at the buildings and is consistent with observations. 2.4 Frequency of flows. Definitive estimates of debris-flow frequenc~~ were not obtained and may be impassible to estimate accurately because of mixing by many floods and small debris-flow events. only nearest "order of magnitude" (con-ect to the nearest factor of 10) estimates can be made. Based on our experience, we doubt the return period of large flows reaching to the alluvial fan could be as long as 10,000 years (1040 years) ar as short as 100 years (102'0 years). We assume, therefore, that the return period lies in'the n~nge of 1,000 ~~ears (1030 years) and probably lies between 300 and 3000 years (102-5 to 103-5 years). More accurate estimates may be po:,sible using detailed radio-carbon dating of buried soil horizons, but we doubt such studies would be fruitful given the propensity for mixing of soil layers by floods and flows within the channel. Furthermore, to our knowledge, such studies have not been done at other locations vrithin the Town of Vail. 2.5 the alluvial fan characteristics. The current alluvial fan is shown on ~ihe detailed topographic map (Figure 2) provided courtesy of Tor~~ Kassmel of the Town of Vail. This fan consists of debris that has Keen transported down Middle Creek by floods and debris flows ttnd .s intermixed with glacially-transported boulders from upper Bootlt ~~reek and the high-elevation basins to the east and north. The IVlountain Bell Road, the large communication tower, the early- learning center, and parking lots have been excavated into this fc n. 3 DEBRI~~ FLAW MODELING 3.1 Limitations of modeling. Procedures for mathematical modeling cif debris flow are available and have been used at various areas i:hroughout the United States and elsewhere. Ail of these models are ;subject to some undefinable degree of uncertainty because ttlq friction ~~nd other resistive terms used in the models are not known but rr;ust Ise estimated. We feel such modeling is of limited applicability here. 'the Middle Creek flows, similar to those observed at Vail in 1984, result as unstable soil and rock avalanche and slide into flooding tributary channels during heavy spring runoff. The flows begin a:~ unstable, saturated soil is "pushed" off steep slopes by groundwater biped through and between sedimentary rock layers. This is exactly what occurred in many of the 42 local soil-slip landslides, debris ;avalanches and debris flows of 1984. Such events do not lend themselves to typical hydraulic modeling, but instead, suggest an avalanche-type or "inertial-type" model in which the initial 08/14/2002 16:37 9706413236 ART MEARS PAGE 04 landslide/debris avalanche stage moves at relatively high speedf; and quickly decelerates to slower speeds in the stream channels. 3.2 Modeling applied. We applied atwo-dimensional, three-campon~snt, stochastic mode! to the avalanche/debris flow process at Middle Creek. This is kinetically similar to an avalanche model but the parameters that control the output of the model were modified to simulate field observations. The results are summarized graphically on Figure 3. A high speed of approximately 20mis is attained on the steep slope but a more "steady-state" velocity of approximately 6 - 10 m/sec (20 - 33 #t/sec) is maintained in the central channel above the alluvial fan. Velocity measurements of the massive Booth Creek flows were not made in 1984, but visual estimates made by myself suggest speed maxima in the 4-5 rNsec (13-18 ft/sec) range in the upper channel. We assume, therefore, an impact speed of 4m/sec (13 ft/see) at the proposed housing units on the alluvial fan because ihis is consistent with the 1984 observations and the modeling results. This speed was used in the development of design criteria. 4 MITIGATION DESIGN CRITERIA 4.1 Elements of the design criteria. These consist of three elements: (a) the impact pressure, (b) the impact height, and (c) impact of boulders ~n the flow. The magnitudes of these parameters depend on the ~ocation and orientation of building surfaces exposed to the flow. 4.2 ,Impact surfaces. These consist of the uphill (north) facing walls cif i~uilding "A" (which is exposed to normal impact) and the west-facing Nall of building "C" (which is exposed to reduced normal impact a.nd shear). These are summarized on Figure 4 which indicates the magnitudes and vertical distributions of the debris-flow design lo~~ds. 4.3 Solid impact of boulders. Building walls are also exposed to impFict i~rom the 3-foot diameter design boulders which could be carried in the 11ow. The impact of a solid boulder differs from the impact of the fine- ~~rained material and small rocks comprising the matrix of the mu~1 ~nrhich produces the impact pressures defined in Figure 4. The Moulders produce point loads. For flexible construction elements such .as beams, structural deflection must be considered in computing the impact force, P. Equating the kinetic energy of the 3-foot design Moulder with work expended in bending deflection yields the relationship p = (M V2 K) °'S, where M is the mass of the 3-foot bc~ulder 1;2,333 Ibs or 72.4 "slugs"), V is the impact velocity (13 ftlsec~, and K is stiffness factor. For a simple cantilever beam, K = 48 EI/L , wh~3re I.I is beam stiffness and L is length. The relationships expressed ~~bove indicate that flexible structural members are more efficient in resisting impact than stiff ones. The actual expression for stiffne~;s will probably differ from that given depending on structural engineering details and would need to be considered in fine! engineering. 68/,14/2602 16: 37 9766413236 AP,T I~IEARS PAGE 65 4 FI~~URE 4.

H~~ ENVIRONMENTAL ~c~-~ ACOUSTICS AND VIBFATION CONSULTING July 12, 2002 Otis Odell, AIA Principal Odell Architects 32065 Castle Court, Suite 150 Evergreen, Colorado 80439 Dear Mr. Odell, This letter provides an update to the original noise analysis conducted for the Middle Creek Affordable Housing Project in Vail, Colorado (Ref Letter from Hankard Environmental, Inc. to Odell Ard~itects dated 1/28/2002). The reason for this update is because the layout of the original design has been changed, thus the noise analysis had to be revisited. As with the original analysis, the purpose of this study was to compare the calculated overall interior noise levels for fire proposed structures to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) interior noise goal of 45 dB(A) (Ref: The Noise Guidebook, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 1991). The updated analysis shows that the proposed Middle Creek Affordable Housing project will achieve the IIUD interior noise goal of 45 dB(A) using standard exterior wall construction. It should be noted that this analysis was conducted using peak-hour (loudest-hour) traffic conditions, which typically only occur for a total of about two or three hours per day. The following provides an explanation as to how the exterior and interior noise levels were calculated, followed by the results and comparison to the HUD interior noise goal. Noise Level Calculation Metlzodolobry Similar to the original analysis (Ref Letter from Hankard Environmental, Inc. to Odell Architects dated 1/28/2002); the exterior noise levels were predicted based on measured noise levels at the site, topography of the site, peak-hour traffic volumes and speeds provided by the Colorado Department of Transportation, and an updated design layout provided by Odell Architects as shown in Figure 1. Noise levels were predicted for each structure on the top floor using its nearest location to I-70, which typically corresponds to the loudest location. Primary factors that affect the noise levels include the distance of the structure to I-70, the location of any barriers or berms that block the I-70 traffic noise, and the amount of sound absorption by the ground. As with the original analysis, no significant noise bamers were found between I-70 and the proposed structures, and no ground absorption was applied to the calculations as the proposed structures are significantly elevated. Thus, the results of the analysis should provide a near worst-case scenario.

The standard amount of transmission loss for exterior wall construction of26 dB(A) was used (Ref. Noise Control for Building and Manufacturing Plants, Layman N. Miller, BBN, 1981, Table 6-7). Note that one assumption made here is that all windows are operable but closed, and that they cover no more than 10-20% of the exterior wall area.

S. Deparbne~~t of Hozrsing and Urban Development, 1991). These results were similar to the original analysis, as the locations of each newly designed structure did not move significantly nearer or further away from I-70 as shown in Figure 1 on the previous page. As with the original analysis, it was assumed that standard exterior wall construction consists of a 4" exterior wall with '/z" thick gypsum wallboard on the inside, '/z" thick plywood on the outside, and acoustically absorbent material (i.e. fiberglass) loosely f lling the cavity. Standard windows were assumed to be double paned with a 0.2" airgap. Additionally, because these multi-family structures have exterior doors opening directly to the outside, all doors facing I-70 were assumed to be solid core wood (or acoustically similar material) that is 2" thick (or a density of 8 Ib/ftZ) and well gasketed.

The 6'/z-acre sloping site is west of the Main Vail Roundabout adjacent to the "Ma Bell" communications tower and an existing daycare center, Figure 1. A single access drive serves both existing uses. The Middle Creek project consists of 142 affordable apartment units and a contemporary early childhood learning center, replacing the exiting center. The mix of studio, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units is structured to the affordable (deed restricted) housing market for Vail Valley workers. The estimated 315 tenants are likely to be singles and couples employed in the mountain resort service sector. Studio units (64 dwellings) will comprise just under half of the total unit mix. As shown in Figure 2, The new childhood learning center will be situated east of the residences and will have separate access and parking. A total of 245 surface parking spaces will be provided for the residential portion of the project and an additional 20 will be part of the Teaming center site. Residents will have good alternative transportation choices. The site is convenient to three Town free bus lines serving North Frontage and the Town's transportation center in Vail Village. A bus turnout alongside the main entrance will permit on-site boarding and alighting. Pedestrian walks will connect with the Town's trail system. The Town's in~own bus system and transportation center area '/4-mile walk/bike to the east and south. The I-70 pedestrian overpass connection to Lionshead Village is '/z mile (10-minute walk) west of the site. This report describes the expected trip making characteristics of tenants and day care patrons and workers, evaluates existing and expected future traffic operating conditions in the vicinity and lastly, it addresses the need and scale of suggested access and circulation improvements.

Page 4 Middle Creek Traffic Impact Study EXISTING AND FIITURE )GOAD CONDITIONS This section describes existing and future traffic conditions along North Frontage Road in the project vicinity. , North Frontage Road North Frontage Road is a two-lane frontage road within the I-70 right of way. Graded shoulders vary from four to eight feet in width. It connects the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges serving lodgings, the Town post office and commercial uses along the north side of the road and roads branching offto slope-side home sites. The alignment is essentially straight with gradual vertical curves that follow the gently rolling terrain. Posted speed is 35 mph in the project vicinity. Peak hour traffic counts performed recently' suggest a traffic volume of about 6,000 vehicles per day passing the site. Vail Road Vail Road connects Vail Village to the I-70 interchange and the frontage roads serving each side of the interstate highway. The two-lane road flares to add lanes at the roundabout approaches. South of interchange two-lane Vail Road intersections with West meadow Drive and Willow Road are Stop-sign controlled. I-74 Interchange Roundabouts The Main Vail I-70 interchange roundabouts were the first modern roundabouts constructed in the state of Colorado. The South Frontage Road roundabout is the largest in the state at a 200- foot outside diameter. The North Frontage Road roundabout is the smallest in the Vail Valley at 120-foot diameter. Counts taken at the North Frontage Road leg indicate PM peak hour volumes of 220 entering vehicles and 750 exiting vehicles of which 3S came from the I-70 westbound off ramp. The North roundabout functions effectively as a single circulating lane, although vehicles can physically travel two abreast around the circulating lane. E~sting Level of Service Level of service (LOS) is a method used for evaluating roadway traffic operating conditions. It is dependent on many factors including traffic volumes, percent heavy vehicles, lane and shoulder widths. The level of service is determined by calculating the delay experienced by each vehicle. This delay is assigned a letter between A and F representing the length of delay. At LOS A motorists will experience little or no delay. At LOS F motorists will experience slap and go conditions and extensive delay. Delay is used as a measure of comfort, convenience and maneuverability of the driver. Delay for the affected. intersections was determined using Highway Capacity Software, implementing methodology in the Highway Capacity Manual, 1994 updated 1997, Transportation Research Board. The intersection capacity analysis worksheets are included in Appendix A. North Frontage Road For atwo-lane, 35-45 mph roadway with 11-foot lanes and 4-foot shoulders, limited passing opportunities and uninterrupted flow the service volumes for each level of service range from 125 vehicles per hour at LOS A to 1,755 vph at LOS E, as shown in Table 1. The observed (December 2001) peak hour volume along North Frontage Road at the project access is about 415 vehicles in the 8:30 to 9:30 AM peak hour and 535 vehicles during the 4:15 to 5:15 PM peak, Accordingly, current two-lane roadway operation is LOS C in the AM and PM peak periods. Peak Land Consultants, Inc. Thursday 12/13/01 'i'®/O Page 5 Middle Creek Traffic Impact Study I-70 Main Vail Interchange North Roundabout According to Lief Ourston, the Town's roundabout operations consultant, peak hour volume entering the roundabout is 2,233 vehicles and at this level the roundabout is operating in the LOS A range. This indicates there is a considerable capacity reserve available at the north roundabout. Table 1 North Frontage Road Level of Service Middle Creek Maximum Service Flow Volume LOS Vehicles per hour A 125 B 330 C 610 D 915 E 1,755 Source: TDA Colorado using HCS two-lane highways. Project Access Morning and afternoon turning movement counts at the existing Day Care/Ma Bell access drive are shown in Figure 3. The highest single movement, 28 westbound right turns from North Frontage Road, occurs during the 8:30 to 9:30 AM peak hour. During the PM the highest movement was 15 left turns to eastbound North Frontage Road (toward the I-70 interchange) followed by 141eft toms from the eastbound direction. Daycare trips appear to be linked westbound frontage road trips in the AM and the return eastbound trips in the PM. The prevailing flow of through traffic is eastbound in the AM and westbound in the PM.

Page 6 Page 7 Middle Creek Traffic Impact ,S'tudy PROJECT TRIP GENERATION Project vehicle trip estimates are based on The Institute of Transportation Engineers publication Trip Generation, 6``' Edition, 1997. This document is a compilation of trips rates derived from traffic counts at similar uses throughout the country. Most ITE residential trip rates are from traffic counts at suburban settings with little or no access to public transit. Residential Trips The Middle Creek project is located along a high service transit corridor with good pedestrian and bike linkages to Vail and Lionshead Villages. A majority of tenants are expected to work in Vail establishments where long-term (i.e. `worker") on-site daytime parking supply will be at a premium for much of the year.. We anticipate Middle Creek residents will be less inclined to travel locally by car for work and personal business trips than their "I'I`E-apartment" counterparts. Accordingly, we expect daily residential vehicle trips will be in the order of 20% less than the ITE derived rate and peak hour vehicle trips will be one-quarter to one-third less than the ITE rate. Urban centers with high all day parking costs and good transit access can have transit mode splits of 25 to 40% in the commute periods. We believe Middle Creek residents could readily exhibit a collective 30% walk/bus/bike mode split in the commute periods. With these project- specific adjustments we estimate at buildout the residential use will generate 753 daily, 52 AM and 61 PM peak hour vehicle trips, see Table 2. Learning Cenfer Trips The early learning center will have 15 employee and short term spaces. Parents typically park for five to 15 minutes for the morning drop off and evening pickup. Using ITE rates for a Day Care Center, the center is expected to generate about 470 trips per day and about 75 vehicle trips during each peak hour.

Town Bus Trips Although not part of the project per se, buses entering and leaving the residential access drive are added to the project peak hour volumes for operational analysis purposes. The three bus routes serving the site operate at 30-minute frequency in each direction producing 12 bus trips (6 in, 6 out) per hour. These trips are added to project access trips to arrive at total access drive trips. 'T®A Page 8 Middle Creek Traffic Impact Study PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION Middle Creek residential trips will distribute over the surrounding road system based on trip origin or destination, and ease and directness of travel. New residential trips will travel west on the frontage road for food shopping, mail and other local personal business trips. More distant trips outside the Town will be oriented east toward the I-70 interchange. Accordingly, we distribute 50% of residential trips to the west and 50% east of the site. Day care trips, which tend to be linked to other trips, are distributed similar to existing entering and exiting patterns. . T'®~4 Pagc 9 tbliddle Creek Traffic Lnpact Study FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Future conditions were analyzed assuming project buildout by 2003. An annual background growth of 3% was assumed for the vehicle volume along North Frontage Road not related to the project. This accommodates moderate continuing residential development along the North Frontage Road travelshed. For future analysis we applied the ITE trip rates to early learning center. These are somewhat higher than the observed peak hour day care volumes and are assumed to account for added business due to updating the facility. Future Volumes Figure 4 illustrates peak hour volumes expected at the intersection of North Frontage Road and Middle Creek Residential and Learning Center-accesses. The highest turning movement will be westbound right turns - 31 entering the Learni~ Center access in the AM and a similar volume entering the residential driveway in the PM peak hour. The highest left turn entering volume will be 26 vehicles turning into the Learning Center drive in the PM peak hour. Future Level of Service with Project Tables 3 and 4 depict level of service at the two access drives and along two-lane North Frontage Road at buildout of the planned Middle Creek housing development and the new Learning Center, respectively. Capacity analysis worksheets are attached as Appendix A. ResidentiaU Ma Bell Access This Stop-sign approach will operate in the LOS B range for both the AM and PM periods. This is a very acceptable level for peak hour operation at a property access intersection. Left turns from the site will experience short delays (LOS B) in the AM and PM peak hours. Early Learning Center Access Similar to existing, this approach will experience short delay (LOS B). Left turns out of the site will have short delays, (LOS B).

Page 11 Page 12 Middle Creek Traffic Impact Study RECOMMENDED PROJECT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Several improvements are suggested at the Middle Creek project access intersections in conformance with the CDOT State Highway Access Code (see Figure 2), These changes reflect the 35 mph posted speed of North Frontage Road, peak hour volumes portrayed in Figure 4, and the Category F-R (frontage road) classification of the facility. Left Tum Lanes At 23 vehicles in the PM peak hour, the residential access is projected to be near the 25 vehicle per hour left tum threshold for warranting a left turn storage lane per the Code. This volume includes 3 westbound Town buses' As a matter of safety, we advise constructing a left turn storage lane at the residential access. The projected (for operational analysis) left turn volume of 26 vehicles for the Leaming Center access would just exceed this threshold. Accordingly, the left turn lane widening for the residentiaUMa Bell access should extend to the new Leaning Center access. The portion between the two drives can be stripped as a two-way left turn lane and thus serve as a left turn staging lane for left turns out of the residential access. This center lane will provide a larger, more comfortable effective left turn radius for buses fuming left out of the site. Right Turn Storage Lanes Neither access meets the 50-vph threshold required to warrant right tum lanes. Although a right tum lane would aid Town of Vail busses entering the property, widening for the center turn lane described above precludes additional North Frontage Road widening along the property's steep frontage. Right/Left Turn Acceleration Lanes Right or left turn acceleration lanes are not needed per the Code at this project for either access. The two way left tum lane suggested above will serve as a short left turn staging/acceleration lane for left turns leaving the site. T'~~ page 13 Middle Creek Traff c Impact Study SiJM114ARY OF FINDINGS A combined total of about 1,220 vehicles per day will use the two proposed Middle Creek residential and new learning center development access drives. Residents are intended to be employed at nearby Town shops, restaurants and business establishments. Daily site-generated traffic is expected to be about 20% less than a similar 142-unit apartment complex in a typical suburban setting. Similarly, the combination of daytime parkuig cost and availability in Vail and Lionshead Villages, proximity to Vail Village and, front door access to three of the Town's free bus routes suggests 30% less than typical site trip generation during the AM and PM commute periods. Peak period operation (level of service) of each access approach will remain in the same short delay range (LOS B) as the existing day care/Ma Bell access drive. Left turns from North Frontage Road will experience little or no delay in most cases. Left turn storage lanes are needed at each access drive per State Highway Access Code criteria. The new center lane can be striped as a Two Way Left Turn Lane. As such, the improvement will facilitate left turns (including Town buses) out of the residential site. Right turn deceleration or acceleration lanes are not needed per the Code. The volume of project traffic added to North Frontage Road will not cause a change in two-lane 35 to 40 mph highway operation. The road will continue to operate in the LOS C range, with PM operation nearing the low end of the of the LOS D service range. The nearby I-70 Main Vai] north roundabout intersection has considerable reserve capacity to readily accommodate traffic added by this project.

Due to design changes and recommendations, site constraints will make a pond impractical for the proposed development. In lieu of a sedimentation pond, several measures will betaken to promote stormwater runoff water quality. A curb and gutter and storm sewer system is proposed to carry ~tormwater through the site. The drainage system is designed with curb inlets and sand oil separators. Per Town of Vail standards, the proposed Type 13C curb inlets are designed with a 1.5' sump below the inlet to capture sediment from runoff. Additionally, two sandloil separators are proposed to capture sediment and oil from parking lot, access drive, and snow melt runoff. A preliminary layout of these measures is shown on the grading and drainage plan. A fmal sizing of the drainage improvements will occur in the Final Drainage Study for Middle Creek Village, during the building permit submittal. All improvements will be designed per Town of Vail Standards. The proposed system will facilitate sedimentation fiom site runoff. Additionally, "Best Management Practices" will be implemented during the construction process to ensure appropriate erosion control and water quality measures are taken. Erosion control throughout the construction process will consist of silt fence, straw bales, and check dams. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely, 7~8~ ~ Mark B. Tarrall Peak Civil Engineering, Inc. Attachment: J P:\Mountain Bell Site\]039\Docs\diainage addendum.doc PEAK LAND CONSULTANTS, INC.

Proposed sedimentation pond at the southeast corner of the project site will also act to promote sedimentation and infiltration of runoff from the site. All swales will be grass lined or lined with rip-rap when water velocities and slope mandate. Additionally, silt fence and straw bale dikes will be used throughout the site during the construction process. Proposed Drainage Improvements Proposed drainage improvements include extension of the existing Middle Creek culvert to the north, catch basins in Mountain Bell road at both the southwest entrance and the southeast entrance to the site, and culverts under the Mountain Bell road entrances to accommodate the north frontage road drainage. Hydraulic calculations for the drainage improvements are included in the appendix. Conclusions Runofffrom the proposed development will follow existing drainage patterns. The proposed sedimentatio„ hasin will serve as a v~~ater quality feature to promote sedimentation and infiltration. Catch basins will have additional depth to further facilitate sedimentation. Inlets, catch basins and culverts will be designed to safely pass the 10-year event. Surface drainage improvements will be designed to safely pass the 100-year event without damage to property. As the site plan is refined, this drainage study will need to be updated. Introduction The Middle Creek Village site is a parcel of land in the Town of~Vail, located in the Southeast '/a of Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 80 West. The site is north of the north frontage road of I-70 approximately '/4 mile west of the main Vail interchange. The attached vicinity map shows the project location. The existing site proposed for development is approximately 8.1 acres and includes the existing Mountain Bell Road and the. Qwest (old Mountain Bell) microwave tower building. The proposed development plan consists of 8 multi-unit buildings with related parking and appurtenant structures. Mountain Bell Road would be extended through the site to create a loop to and from the north frontage road. Existing Hydrolo~y Middle Creek passes through the property from north to south approximately 250 feet west of the existing Mountain Bell Tower building. The Middle Creek drainage basin is approximately 6 square miles and is included in the Flood Insurance Study of the Town of Vail dated November 2, 1982. The hydrology of the drainage basin will remain largely unchanged as a result of the proposed development. The 100 year floodplain based on stream depth, as shown on flood profile panels 07P thru 09P, has been delineated and is included in the appendix. The westerly 1/3 of the proposed development site (2.8 acres) is within the Middle Creek drainage basin. The existing Mountain Bell Tower building, parking lot and driveway to the north frontage road occupies 0.9 acres of the proposed development site. The easterly 2/3 of the site (5.3 acres) flows south to the roadside ditch along the north frontage road which flows east toward Spraddle Creek. All hydrology calculations in this study utilized the Rational Method. This method has been shown to be appropriate for calculating the hydrology of small drainage basins of fewer than 100 acres. Runoff coefficients were taken from the Urban Drainage Man~~~l, Denver Regional Council of Governments, Table 3-I, and rainfall intensities were taken from the Town of Yail "Intensity -Duration -Frequency Curves ". The table and curves are presented in the Appendix. Proposed Hydrolow The development of the existing site will utilize the existing drainage basins with 1/3 of the site draining to Middle Creek and 2/3 of the site draining to the north I-70 frontage road ditch. Approximately 9.4 acres of offsite drainage flowing through the site are included in the rational method calculations. Proposed drainage patterns through the site will approximate the existing conditions. No detention is proposed for the site. The summary table presents the results of the study with hydrology calculations shown in the appendix.

Of these, approximately 85% of the residential spaces are covered, and 70 slots (140 spaces) are in a tandem configuration. There are a total of 68 units that are either 2-bedrooms or 3-bedrooms. Each of these will be assigned to a tandem slot. That leaves only two additional tandem slots, which will be assigned to two of the studio or 1-bedroom units. This can be easily accommodated since each of the studio and 1 bedroom units has 1.5 spaces provided for it. Allocation and As~sianment of Parking Spaces It is anticipated that each unit (except perhaps I studio ui:it) will have available to it a parking space(s) within the parking structure. There are 211 covered spaces, which we anticipate would be allocated as follows: Number COVERED Total Unit Type of Units Per Unit Allocation Covered Spaces 2 Bedroom Units 24 1 covered tandem 48 3 Bedroom Units 44 1 covered tandem 88 Studio Units 44 ** 1 covered single 44 1 Bedroom Units 27 1 covered single ~ 27 1 Bedroom Units 2 1 covered tandem 4 _ Total 141 ** 211 ** 1VOTE: In this allocation, there would be l additional studio unit that would not have a covered parking space. This reconciles the total unit count to 142 units. Surface spaces will be available for visitors, or for second cars for the studio and 1 bedroom units. All tenant cars will be registered with the leasing office and will have some sort of identification on the car itself (hang tag or sticker).

MALO 333 LOGAN STREET, SUITE 100 DENVER, COLORADO 80203-4089 August I5, 2002 Town of Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Rd., West Vail CO 81657 Gentlemen: As a past president of the Board of the All Seasons Condominium Association, I write you to strongly oppose the proposed Mountain Bell Affordable Housing Project. The need is apparent, but the choice of location is disastrous. We all want to keep the environs and architecture at Vail as originally conceived by its founders. This is what makes Vail aesthetically beautiful. Lionshead is an example of bad planning. Let's not follow this thinking in the core village area. I can't imagine approaching Vail and looking at this proposed monster as I drive in. What will visitors think? Other areas are available and you, as members of the Town Council, can certainly find a better location that the one proposed. Sincerely, i John F.

Lodge August 12, 2002 Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission Department of Development 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 . Dear Commission & Development Staff: Having reviewed plans for Middle Creek I wish to voice both ,support and concern about the project. First, I do favor development of reasonably priced employee housing that is of respectable quality, thus encouraging .residents to behave with respect for their surroundings and neighbors. The Mountain Bell/Middle Creek location seems appropriate to this use as it is close to work and hopefully residents would be encouraged to utilize public transportation or walking to work rather than further impacting Vail's limited parking. My concerns are based upon the anticipated price of rents in the units and the size and balance of the structures on the site. Ali our employees are conscious of rents and many struggle to make ends meet although they work two or more jobs. If at all possible, keeping rents per bedroom below $650 per month would be important. Second, the sketches of the proposed buildings appear to be imposing and too much for the small site. Granted, the Mountain Bell tower and the school are not examples of exceptional architecture, however, I feel that what is proposed it out of scale with the natural landscape. Further, when passing through the roundabout, this will be a primary introduction to Vail. An oversize building on this site simply is nor appropriate. As a neighbor across the street (Interstate) and as both a business owner and resident of Vail, I urge you to consider how the views of the building from the east and from the south will be impacted. It may be necessary to scale the development down in order to maintain an attractive balance and not overdevelop the site.

We understand that this site was donated to the town as a permanent open space and to preserve the entry to Vail as a mountain community and not as a congested urban core. Violation of this trust by public officials should not be considered under any circumstances and should result in forfeiture of the property if this is your intent. This site is very steep and cannot be developed in any fashion without considerable compromise to its natural character. Any efforts to design a "hidden" development project, let alone ahigh-density use are impossible and incompatible with this site. The location is not remote from neighbors willing to protect it from irrational development but is central to all of our daily lives each time we enter the village and each time we traverse its corridors. This is not the impression that our visitors and residents should have of the Vail experience. On behalf of all owners and residents, please do not indulge in planning that is so short sighted. The Lionshead improvements and other. Village plans have proceeded with much more deliberation and thoughtful planning. High-density additions on open space must be deliberated and planned even more thoroughly. Sincerely, Ron and Mary Snow 401 Scorpio 135W Meadow Dr. Ron Snow Do You Yahoo!?

The day care center should be expanded at its present site. It is an essential employee benefit which is much needed and is a logical use that would be compatible with the site. Affordable housing must be a priority. ~If Vail is to thrive as a destination resort it must be able to attract service employees in large numbers. Without housing this simply will not be possible.

Fw: Mountain Bell Site ----- Original Message ----- From: andy wiessner To: towncouncil@ci.vail.co.us Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 3:34 PM Subject: Mountain Bell Site Dear Council Members, am supportive of putting affordable housing at the Mountain Bell site, but hope that in approving any project you will keep the following in mind: 1.the project be of sych a size as to blend into the terrain and forested area in the vicinity. In particular, the taller trees on the site should be preserved and the building(s), landscaped so that visual intrusion is minimized; 2. I think the drawings I have seen which involve a 5 story structure(s), have buildings which are probably too high for that particular location. Can the height be lowered to 2-3 storiesd so that it is similar to the majority of the other developments on the north frontage road? 3. Parking should be underground. 4. VERY IMPORTANTLY IN MY MIND, THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF BRIDGE OR WALKWAY TO VILLAGE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN GET THERE ON FOOT. The current underpass at the Vail I-70 exit too narrow (icy in winter) is not adequate for people to travel by foot. It either needs to be widened...or some sort of foot bridge put across/under the Interstate.lf foot access is not provided, there will be a traffic problem at the rotary. If a foot path is too expensive...then, at least, a bus stop should be put at the entrance to the housing project.. Thank you for considering my views. Sincerely.

Planning and Environmental Commission Design Review Board - We, as property owners,~believe that the size of the proposal for the Mountain Bell Site is incompatible with the beauty and world-class scenic image of Vail's main entrance. We urge the Town of Vait to significanly reduce the size of the housing project or to move it to a more appropriate venue. While we all recognize the importance of affordable employee housing, we urge the Town to preserve and protect Vail's image as visitors first enter our beautiful Village. As at all other resorts, employee housing should not be the first visual visitors will encounter. Truly affordable employee housing should not be attempted where it is neither appropriate nor affordable. We are well aware of the exciting plans that are being created for all of Vail, including the Vail Front Door and Lionshead, etc. and are anticipating playing cur part in helping it happen. We would be much less interested in participating if this ill conceived project at the Mountain Bell Site goes through in its current form. It is not congruent to create a well conceived upgrade to our Village, and to try to use outdated, less than attractive, plans for the actual entrance from the interstate. We hope you will reconsider at this important stage in planning, as the future outcome will be of great importance to Vail as a whole. Sin erely, '~ Paul J. Du inski, M.D. ,. Katherine W.

During Vail's very first winter we were forced to bed down employees in the laundry room of The Lodge, causing Jack Tweedy and me to try to initiate an employee housing project. We failed. As much as we favor the concept, the proposed project at the Bell site is too big and too prominent. It would be unfortunate for the entrance to Vail to be defined by a housing project. Our image is too important. A smaller building that is well-hidden, or another location, would be our preference.

Too denude this site of its beautiful trees to build such a large (an not very attractive) structure seems out of synch with our desire to have Vail a more beautiful place in which to live and to visit. We suggest the Town of Vail significantly reduce the size of the housing project or move it to a more appropriate venue. Affordable employee housing is important. But locating it at our main entrance, in its current configuration, seems to defeat the purpose of a more attractive Vail.

The size of the project proposed for this site is not compatible with the world class image of Vail. This project is the entry to Vail and the first impression for guests and residents alike. We urge the Town of Vail to either significantly reduce the size of the housing project or move it to a more appropriate location. Although we understand that affordable employee housing is critical for the Town, we also believe first impressions is a critical issue to Vail as well. We have only one major entry to Vail and this is not the appropriate location for affordable housing. We urge you to evaluate this issue carefully as the effects of this decision are very long term.

Many years ago I lived in a trailer court which was located in within the current Town Of Vail boundaries and later lived iri one and two bedroom condominiums (located in Vail Village) with up to 3 roommates to make it affordable. These living arrangements certainly helped make me and my roommate more productive and happy employees enjoying a very short commute to work (I parked my care for the ski season) and knowing I was part of a great and caring community. The need for employee housing grows every year, and while the Town Of Vail has made strides in providing for- sale options, an affordable rental development is much needed. Residents living within town boundaries are essential to the year round viability of the community as well as the economy. This location in particular has the advantages of being on the Town's bus and bike routes, as well as being within walking distance of Vail Village and Lionshead. My wife and I live in the Sandstone area of Vail and will be able to see this housing development which certainly will not trouble us. I have reviewed the density, rental rates, and elevations of the proposed development plan, and feel that this housing development is very appropriate at this site. For over 23 years I was a principal officer (CFO) of a Denver based investment banking firm (which I helped start) involved in financing affordable housing throughout the United States.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Vail Town Council: I'm writing this letter in support of the proposed Middle Creek employee housing development for the following reasons: meeting the need for housing for locals near the pedestrian village, meeting that need in a clustered, low-impact environmentally responsible manner, and offering an automobile-free lifestyle for those able to live and work in Vail. An estimated 500 vehicles a day consume parking spaces daily in Vail for commuting workers alone, using up valuable finite parking that otherwise should be available to guests. According to the Sonoran Institute report on Population Employment, and Personal Income Trends for Eaale Coun ,gross income outflows outpaced inflows by around $57 million in 1999 alone, an indication of employees living outside Eagle County and commuting in daily to work. This disparity has steadily increased over the past 12 years. Not only are dollars being taken out of the local economy, but employees are being sentenced to long daily commutes just to have a place to call home. The environmental impact of commuting alone can be assessed in the following manner: The average daily commute in Eagle County is 18 miles. Ninety-one percent of commuters travel via single-occupancy vehicles. Given an average gas mileage of 20 mpg, providing local housing versus commuting workers in for 256 employees each year would save roughly 93,075 man hours, 83,768 gallons of gasoline, eliminate 838 tons of C02 emissions, or the equivalent of planting 349 acres of trees. Of course this doesn't include cost of roads, vehicles themselves, impacts to wildlife, sedimentation from road sanding, insurance, vehicular accidents, etc. In addition, plans for the development are to meet or exceed LEED or BuiltGreen Colorado environmental design standards, acting as a model for energy and water efficiency, sustainable site design, indoor air quality, and renewable material use. In 2000 when SKI magazine rated Vail as the #4 resort in the country, two weak points of the survey responses reflected Vail as being (a) too "old", and (b) too expensive. Adding an element youth and affordability near the village would add vibrancy and a piece to the community that otherwise seems to be lacking. The proposed Middle Creek development is beneficial with regards to the three criteria of sustainability: good for the local economy, good for the environment, and benefits community in the form of improved quality of life and retention of local employees. As a representative for the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability, we endorse the proposed development. Sincer , Adam Palmer w flugust 2(3, 2(3t~Z Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Rond ... Vail, CO 81657 Dear Council Members, T am concerned that the proposed Middle Creek rental development is in danger of being scrapped.

T0: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: MARKA~ MOSER -1880-MEADOWRIDGE #4, VAIL, 476-5SZ2 RE: PROPOSED HOUSING ON THE MOUNTAIN BELL SITE With a Rotential rental !.snit coming on the market in Vail, I .have been polling several other owners of rental units as to what is the current fair market value for. a year's lease in~ Vail: Several owners of property in~ Vail have told me that they are having to adjust downward the $1,500 rental price for a year's lease on atwo-bedroom, two bath with a loft unit they have rented for several years. They will definitely have to lower the price considerably.in order to negotiate a year's lease. And even with a lower-priced prodoct that has been recentl}~ rernode~ed and ~t.pdated; they doubt they will be able .to obtain a year's lease on their property. This signals to me that rentals are becoming far more available, so to add to that market today would be a big mistake. I also feel that the product being offered in this building wo-old b.e much $ma11e~ fo.r the,pric.e. being charged than r~r~rry u-nits alre2d~y fn tkre~ rental mar-ket. This carp hardly be considered "affordable." I fee! the town should not be in the rental market, except for those rental units that are specifically for their own employees. Business owners should acquire units for rent to their own employees. Timber Ridge and St~nbird~ ire Lionshead are examples of what happens when there are loge numbers of rental units on one small area. It becomes seasonal employee housing for single workers. Families don't want to have anything to do with it, because it is not a nice place live. Check out the drug use and dealing occurring in these housing areas. !. Have- a!-so~ researched that the most sought affef onus of housing are studios or one bedroom units where full-time, year-around single employees or a married couple may live affordably, without roomates. A far better cption for the town to pursue would be housing such as that in the Commons and Ellefson Park where year-around employees of Vail cari~ be assisted in purchasing their awn hor~e~. A~ homeowner cares about their property;.a renter often does not. Please reconsider this development of a valuable piece of Vail real estate, and do not consider putting it into an already overbuilt rental pool. Page 1 of 1 Allison Ochs - Fw: Mt.

They will definitely have to lower the price considerably .in order to negotiate a year's lease. And even with a lower-priced product that has been recently remade-{ed and ~r.pdated; they doubt they will be able .to obtain a year's lease on their property. This signals to me that rentals are becoming far more available, so to add to that market today would be a big mistake. I also feel that the product being offered in this building would b~e much $malle.r fo.r the,pxice. being charged than rrtarty u-nits already to the rental mafiket. This can hardly be considered "affordable." I feel the town should not be in the rental market, except for those rental units that are specifically for their own employees. Business owners sheuld acquire units for rent to their own employees. Timber Ridge and Sunbird~ in Lionshead are examples of what happens when there are 1-d'fge numbers of rental units on one small area. It becomes seasonal employee housing for sin-gle workers. Families don't want to have anything to do with it, because it is not a nice place live. Check out the drug use and dealing occurring in these housing areas. I. have- also researched that the mast sought attef units of housing are studios or one bedroom units where full-time, year-around single employees or a married ccuple may live affordably, without roomates. A far better option for the tcwn to pursue would be housing such as that in the Commoris and Ellefson Park where year-around employees of Vail cari• be assisted in purchasing their own hor~e~. A~ homeflwner cares about their property;.a renter often does not. Please reconsider this development of a valuable piece of Vail real estate, and do not consider putting it into an already overbuilt rental pool. ~ . ~^~--~~ ~ ~ 1. a~ ~ ~ ~.~ ~ ~. ~ ~ Qh.~-vw~ ~--o n-r~x- 'f~-'~-- t'-`--J~- '~ ~~--~ ~ ~-1~~ ~ ~ ~~, ~~~ VIP ~Cd U g/~5-~- 97D-~7~~~~GS ~ ~ ~ ~--~ ~ - ~ . --~-T _ ~--~-~'~-J ~ ~~. ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ - ~~ , ~- y- iJ ,- it .~-/ U ~~ ~ -~-~~ ~~ 3~ S V~ ~ ~ a g~~ s-~- 4711 _d~/_ ~~~~ g/ja/o.~ y, ~~. ~-~ ~~~~ ~ ~~ ~ .~ ~ dam-.

I have been here since 1986 and I work as an ski instructor in the winter time. I am only a resident of the USA so I cannot vote, but I have paid taxes here in Vail and Colorado since 1986. Now when I have choosen to live full time here in beautiful, but noisy Vail I am really concerned about the future of my home town. I want guests come to Vail and feel as they have come to small, friendly village where everything is in lesser scale than the big cities most of our guests come from. Therefor I am writing you about my concern about the hight and scale of Middle Creek. We all know Lionhead and we all recognize the problem with Lionshead, how big the buildings are, how ugly the whole Lionshead is. Please think about that when you decide to build an other complex of 6 stories buildings in the heart and at the entrance of our mountain village where at least I want my skiing guest to feel as they are in the mountains far away from the stress at home. Compare Vail with other European ski resorts as Zermatt, Argentiere and you have the picture. I am not against affordable housing. I am one that would have needed it, I am just against the BIG SCALE of Middle Creek as the first thing our guests, who are the providers for us to be able to live and work here, should see when they come to Vail. Please do not repeat the mistakes from Lionshead.

I have been asked to write you about this development by the VCBA but, as is so often true, I do not agree with their endorsement of this project as proposed. I am not apart-time resident nor do I live in Spraddle Creek. I am a permanent resident of downtown Vail, and I am a business owner in Vail. I do think we need employee housing in Vail, even at the Mountain Bell site. But this project is too large and too high, and the rents are too high to be called "affordable housing." It is not even very attractive.

It is my opinion that this would be a positive step in satisfying the need for seasonal and full time housing options within the Town of Vail. I was able to move to Vail because the. West Vail Liquor Mart offered (and continues to do so) housing within walking distance to the store. That was in 1988 and I was 25 years old. I moved to Vail without a car and was able to enjoy a very satisfying lifestyle working and living in West Vail, taking the bus to the Village for skiing and night life. I did not purchase a car until I had lived in Vail for about two years. Since that time I have become a homeowner and a partner at West Vail Liquor Mart. I am not suggesting that everyone who moves to Vail and lives in employee housing will become a business owner and a permanent resident, but if the option to have a place to live was not available I probably would not have decided to move to Vail. I simply had other options that would have made more sense to me at that time. There are many reasons why this site makes sense for Vail. The proximity to the Village and Lionshead will mean that a person will not have to drive to work. It will allow employees to get to work on time allowing them to begin serving Vail customers much easier than a commute from 10-20+ miles to the. West. In other words employees will not be late to work due to snowy roads, accidents and car problems. This will be a positive site with the increased employee population needed with the redevelopment of Lionshead and the expectation that the proposed conference center-will be built. It will help relieve employee related congestion in the parking structure. If Middle Cr Lek is not built the population that would have lived there will spend their dollars where they live, and that will not be in Vail. Middle Creek will offer easy access to the retail services area of West Vail and keep tax dollars in the Town of Vail. . I have read that some business owners in Vail feel that the location for Middle Creek is wrong because it will be an eyesore at the front door of Vail and people will not want to come to Vail because of this perceived eyesore. This is just not true. Vail is celebrating it's 40th year. In those 40 years people (many of the same people) have continued to come to Vail despite all of the development and visual changes over the years. Another argument that I hear is that of homeowners in close proximity to Middle Creek are against it for similar reasons and fear of property values declining. I can recall a similar argument occurring when the Town of Vail built employee housing near Potato Patch. I do not think that property values in Potato Patch have suffered at all in the past few years. Middle Creek has far more positives than negatives and I would like to see the town council support its development. Tom Mullen Gore Valley Enterprises West Vail Liquor Mart 2151 N.

The need for employee housing grows every year, and while the Town of Vail has made strides in providing for-sale options, an affordable rental development is much needed. _ .Residents living within town boundaries are essential to the year round viability of the community, as well as the economy. This location in particular has the advantages of being on the Town's bus route and bike path, as well as being within walking distance of Vail Village and Lionshead. I have reviewed the project and support it. Knowing that all of the components of the project may not meet all of the demands and preferences of all members of the community, it is important that the Middle Creek Housing Development proceeds and construction begin as soon as possible. file://C:\Windows\TEMP\GW } 00003.HTM 09/16/2002 Page 1 of~3 Allison Ochs - Fw: The Middle Creek Project From: "DIANA DONOVAN" <dianamdonovan@msn.com> To: "Pam Brandmeyer" <pbrandmeyer@ci.vail.co.us> Date: 08/30/2002 6:11 PM Subject: Fw: The Middle Creek Project _...... ----- Original Message ----- From: <markconvail@juno.com> To: <towncouncil@ci.vail.co.us> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 5:30 PM Subject: The Middle Creek Project > Dear Vail Town Council, > I have lived in and around Vail off and on since 1978. I have watched this town grow and develop. I have never participated in town government, until now. > I am opposed to the Middle Creek Project as it is being proposed. I believe it will be a White Elephant to the Town of Vail if it is constructed. I have based my opinion on the following points. I appreciate your time in reading this email. > • As far as I know, there has never been a study done to see what are the current and future needs of employee housing in our valley: If affordable housing is warranted, let us consider building pockets of employee housing around Vail that really encourage a viable, dynamic, and diverse community spirit. > • Avon is currently building the Village of Avon. 2300 homes and condos will be built in the next 3-5 years in this development. Edwards is developing Berry Creek, 1800 homes are proposed for this area. These areas are connected to Vail with at good bus system.. I believe some of the affordable housing needs will be satisfied with these new developments. > • I have been told the T.O.V. has 2 other parcels that should be considered for affordable housing - by the T.O.V. maintenance facility and between Chamonix Ln. and Arosa Dr. in West Vail. These are great locations, easily accessed on the free T.O.V. bus route, they also are located in areas where pedestrian and vehicle traffic would not be so invasive. > • The design of Middle Creek is appalling. It is worse than Timber Ridge (Valley High =Valley Sty). It consists of 3 buildings, one being 5 stories high. (The Planning Commission just rejected a proposal by the Tivoli Lodge for a new 4-story structure, as it was in the TOV "view corridor" and did not fall in the Town's master plan. So why is a 5 story structure at our front door OK?) The design is in no way aesthetically pleasing. There are no balconies; they are block buildings that could be made with prefab housing units. The Town did a nice job with Vail Commons, Garmish Dr. and Sandstone Dr. affordable housing. Why can they not think about the architecture that will be at our front door for years to come? Look at the River's Edge in Avon. Look at the Tarnes at the base of Beaver Creek. Vail Resorts, with their tight corporate shoestrings, managed to build some nice looking employee housing, economically. WWII i i~nn~ Page 2 of 3 > • The original proposal by the TOV was to have a 42-unit facility that would be purchased by employers for employee housing. Now the town has placed a $6 million value on this property (which I believe was deeded to the T.O.V. by Vail Resorts as open space). They want to lease this land to the Developer for 50 years for free (and then what?). The Developer and the Planning Board have stated that this sight must have 142 units to make it economically viable. Why? If so, use another sight or use less of the land (less units) and declare the rest of the space "open space" as it was originally deeded. > ~ This is the "Front Door" to Vail. Think what it's like to drive into Keystone, Copper Mountain, Winter Park Village, or even Avon. It's all about the money. Not the views, not the Alpine atmosphere, it's about how to get as many units into one space, to increase revenues. That is not why people are attracted to Vail. It is not why most of us live here. As a community, I believe we would be doing ourselves an injustice by allowing this project, in it's size, shape and scope to proceed. > > • There has been no discussion or information provided by the TOV on how it is going to handle the increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic that will arise should the project be developed. 300 - 500 individuals will be trying to get to and from town as fast as possible. The Developer has a bus stop included. Believe me, it'll be faster to walk to town. So, like at Timber Ridge, we will have a steady stream of people crossing N. Frontage Rd., I-70, and the round-abouts (we all know how visitors have trouble enough maneuvering them, without increased traffic). And who will monitor the parking at the Middle Creek facility, when all the parking structures in Vail are full, and parking on frontage road is full, and skier/boarders know it's an easy walk from Middle Creek? > • The rents proposed would be in actuality 65-70% of an employee's NET income (the numbers presented by the developer were based on GROSS income). If an employee had a family, this would mean the other bedrooms would not be occupied by a "wage earner", making it economically impossible for the employee to live there. The Developer's numbers were based on each room being occupied by a wager earner. > • The Developer also reserved the right to rent a percentage of the units out at a higher rental rate, if the income of the individual could provide for that. Who will monitor this? The Developer will also ac±.as the Rental - Management Company. Who will monitor this to be sure fair practices are being followed? > • The Town and Eagle County have $13 million set aside for this project. The Developer said it would take $22 million to build. Who will pay the difference? How can the TOV take on yet another huge debt, with the Lionshead redevelopment and Donovan Park looming in the near future? > In today's Vail Daily there is an article that's tenor is pro Middle Creek. They suggest that it is the rich homeowners (ie: Spraddle Creek owners) who are opposing this project. The writer didn't do her homework. I have spoken to numerous Vail locals and they agree that the size and design is completely inappropriate for the Town of Vail. Many even question the location. Please understand that many of these people work during the day and are unable to attend Planning or .Council meetings, and therefore have only been aware of the upcoming project since the recent coverage in the Vail Daily. I believe more community awareness would most likely provoke the need to rethink the Middle Creek Project by the Town Council. > > I appreciate your time and effort. Again, please seriously rethink Middle file://C:\Windows\TEMP\GW } 00003.HTM 09/ 11 /2002 Page 3 of 3 Creek. > Thank you, > Constance H.

BUT as currently designed, Middle Creek is not the answer for the following reasons: TOO MASSIVE for the location. The design does not fit into the quaint alpine resort character of the village, will architecturally detract from Vail's "world class" tourism appeal, and will create serious vehicular and pedestrian access problems. TOO HIGH RENTAL 1 tATES. The proposed cost to tenants is good but not so earth shattering to justi Fy the investment and other negative impacts. TOO LITTLE ECONO VIIC DIVERSIFICATION.

When invited to provide input into the design review process, the mission presented to me was, "what changes can be made, without major revisions to the buildings, that will bring it more closely in line with the original intent of tl~e project and the character and spirit of Vail? " After an initial review session with staff, we thought it would be valuable to have the Applicant (Mike Coughlin) and his architect (Otis Odell) be part of the dialogue. They agreed, and participated in several review sessions, in my office and theirs, and have been very responsive. They have made almost all of the changes that were suggested and/or that we evolved together. The changes not implemented are either minor (not significant to the overall concept), or items that create costs disproportionate to the results achieved or are of a more detailed, aesthetic nature that appropriately will be worked out with the DRB after initial PEC approval has been granted. In the course of the review, we considered several aspects: 1. Appropriateness of the original concept The original direction suggested by the Applicant, and as I understand, endorsed by the PEC, was that of an Italian (Europiean) hill town. Is the `hilltown' concept appropriate for Vail? I reviewed the collage of photographs of Italian hill towns prepared by Odell, and found the original concept a compelling image, especially given the steep montane backdrop of the site. 1 feel that the original decision of the PEC to support that direction was reasonable. The vertical massing of buildings, and stucco exterior appear to be a reasonable response to the steep site coupled with the challenge of maintaining affordability. No, it is not Tyrolean like Vail Village. However, as one approaches Vail from east or west there are many buildings along I-70 that are not particularly Tyrolean, especially the buildings north of I-70. Yet, they are all part of the Vail backdrop. Many of these buildings are vertical in nature, and have large stucco components-I do not think the Middle Creek project will appear to be out of place. It is also worth noting that although the Middle Creek project is at Vail's front door, it is not actually visible from I-70 for any great distance from the east or west. From the east it is screened until the very last minute (entering the off-ramp) by the Spraddle Creek hill. From the west, the Bell tower, the landforms and mature trees screen much of the proposed buildings. Design Review Commenu3.doc Page 2299 PEARL STREET, SUITE 100 ~ BOULDER, CO 80302 ® 303-440-9200.

As we looked at the 8/16/02 version of the plans, we noted several components that seemed not consistent with the original "hilltown" concept. In general, in addition to trying to capture more of the spirit of the "hilltown" forms, we also looked at eliminating or modifying elements that appeared contemporary, so as to capture a timeless, old world character. The elements that were addressed included: a. Horizontal balcony walkways-the vertical massing of Building A that was so strong in the massing model, appeared to have been foiled by a particular placement of stair towers that required long exterior balcony walkways to reach them. The heavy wood railings on the balcony walkways accentuated the horizontal lines. In some cases, the balconies extending around comers further contradicted the vertical massing of the buildings. Renaedy.• The debris wall and amount of building below grade precluded moving the balcony walkways to the north side of Building A. Therefore, additional stair towers were added so as to reduce the extent of horizontal balcony walkways needed. Putting a wall around these exterior stairs to create towers in stucco and/or stone would make them appear to be vertical building elements and gave further variation to the building facades. In the latest set of plans (9/] 3/02) the return walls are only 5' long, enclosing the landing. I recommend fully enclosing the stairs so that the tower attaches to the building. To further reinforce the stair as a part of the building perhaps an arched opening could be created where the walkway enters the stair tower. Extending the roof plane out over these stair towers also reinforces them as elements of the building form (rather than as additions). The balcony walkways that remain will be further de-emphasized by having wrought-iron railings with a light, European quality such as is found in southern Italy and France. On Building B the balcony walkways were removed entirely from the south elevation. The applicant is considering adding "Opera balcony" railings on a few windows to add more variety and interest to the facade. b. Exterior flat panels-Exterior flat panels were originally added to both Building A and B to screen the horizontal balcony walkways. However, revealing the edge of the panel gave the wall a thin, and decidedly `modern' quality (only achievable with modern construction materials and methods), almost afalse-facade wall.. Remedy: On Building B, the flat panels were removed entirely, except at the lowest level, where they are proposed of stone, also with retun;s on each end to appear as building extensions. Canopy roofs extend to add variety and give the appearance that they might have been added after the original construction. On Building A, the balcony entries could not be moved to north side of the building (see a. above). Although adding south side stair towers shortened the balcony walkways, several are still required. The wall panels are helpful in masking the horizontal extent of these walkways.tHowever, to make the panels more an extension of the building, they given a 3' return on each end .Similar to the stair towers, the connection to the building could be further strengthened by adding an archway entry over the walkway. The panels are now proposed to be of stucco (rather than the vertically jointed hardy-board that added to the thin, temporary look). The panels are further enlivened with a random placement of windows to further relate them to the main building mass. We suggest additional window openings, perhaps adding more variation in size and an asymmetrical placement. If the panels can be made t Internally the additional 3' o depth will be used for exterior storage for the apartment units.

FAX 303-449-691 I ~ jtwinston@winstonassociates.com Design Review Comments Middle Creek Affordable Housing--Vail Winston Associates integral to the building, they will add to the horizontal stepping back and forth of the south facade of . Building A. c. Horizontal stepping of buildings-in general we (and apparently the PEC) felt that there was not enough horizontal `movement' (stepping back and forth) of the vertical walls, that the building facades were too flat. Remedy: As noted above, the addition of stair towers and `returns' at the ends of the flat panels added much more variation to the facade of Building A. In Building B, the westernmost segment was moved south approximately 10', providing additional `stepping' of the facade of the building. This stepping is reinforced by the gradual stepping down of the roofs. On Building C, the southwest corner (above the parking garage, was pushed 8'to 10' north, creating a significant `step' in the vertical facade. The roof of the garage will be treated a terrace, with handrails along the edge. d. Vertical stepping of buildings-in comparison with the `hilltown' images, the Middle Creek buildings didn't exhibit the same kind of vertical stepping, especially at the eastern end where the building should step down to the surrounding terrain. Remedy: At the east end of Building B, the 6' to 8' crawl space was deleted, allowing the easternmost building element to drop an equivalent amount. At Building C, on the southeast corner, a unit was eliminated, dropping the building height from 3 to 2 stories. In the northeast corner, a 4' crawl space was eliminated, and that portion of the building lowered an equivalent amount. Further, in this location a 3 bedroom unit was changed to a 2 bedroom unit, allowing a portion of the roof to be lowered further. Finally, at the high part of the roof in the northeast quadrant asouth-facing gable end was removed, which allows the roof to cascade down, further reducing the vertical mass of the building. , e. Roofs-the `hilltown' images, and the early massing models; there are many roof planes but with a general consistency of direction-generally following the ground contours. In the examples, occasionally the roof cascade is broken by gable ends perpendicular to the main mass of roofs. The previous Middle Creek design had much of the same character, but a number of large, prominent, south-facing gable ends tended to dominate the composition. Another feature of the `hilltown' images is thick roofs that are the resutlt of the use of clay tile. Since the is not appropriate for Vail, an alternative material must be found. Remedy: Several prominent south-facing gable ends were removed. A few were retained to maintain variety in the roofline. It is important to make the roofs significant. As mentioned above, clay the is not appropriate, nor is the stone (similar to slate) that would be found in northern Europe. The applicant has indicated an intention to fmd a very high profile (with a lot of relief in the surface) roof material. We encourage this as well as consideration of thicker facia (to increase the apparent mass of the roof), broader overhangs and perhaps a more extensive use of the timber angle brackets shown on the stair towers. f. V1'indow placement- very symmetrical and repetitious window placement gives a somewhat modern quality to the architecture. The irregular placement of windows will add to the `hillside' character of the proje4t. Design Review Comments3.doc Page 3 2299 PEARL STREET, SUITE 100. BOULDER, CO 80302 0 303-440-9200. FAX 303-449-691 I . jtwinston@winstonassociates.com Design Review Comnsents Aliddle Creek Affordable Housing--Vail Winston Associates Remedy: A certain randomness has been added via the placement of windows in the exterior panels. We encourage even more windows, and adding even more irregularity to the windows shown. g. Materials-The use of timeless materials will do much to add a touch of old world charm to the building. Unfortunately, the need for affordability works against extensive use of some of the most timeless materials (stone, slate, etc.). The horizontal and vertical joints shown in the stucco walls of the 8/16/02 plans added a decidedly contemporary character to the buildings, not unlike the geometrical pattern of Vail Spa, e.g. Remedy: In the highly visible portions of the building the applicant has eliminated hardy-board in favor of exterior stucco. The applicant is exploring techniques to avoid vertical and horizontal jointing in the stucco. Vertically jointed hardy-board has been retained for cost reasons in the interior and north side portions of the buildings, since these areas have low visibility from I-70 and the North Frontage Road. The amount of stonework previously shown has been expanded and consolidated in several very visible elements-the facade of the sales office (visible from the drive-up/bus plaza), the campanile/stair tower at the east end of Building A, the building extensions along the base of Building B, and the garage facade on the southwest comer of Building C. We would very much encourage even more stone in one or more of the south and southeast vertical elements of Building C. However, we also recognizing that the applicant has already made a number of changes that will increase costs. h. Building Ccourtyard-the stairs that serve Building C were all located around the exterior periphery of the building. While this meets egress requirements and works well with the vertical circulation from the parking garage, it would also leave the internal courtyard largely inaccessible. Some of the horizontal balcony walkways on the upper levels of the courtyard will be visible from the outside. Remedy: An additional stair tower is proposed on the north side of the Building C courtyard. This will not only provide additional circulation, and bring more life to the courtyard, but also tend to mask the balcony walkways beyond. i. Building Bcourtyard-the courtyard on the north side of Building B (also the pedestrian entry into the couryard ~f Building C) appeared to be a little too narrow as an exterior space. Remedy: Shifting the west end of Building B to the south has opened up the courtyard to the west (near the drop off circle in front of the parking garage). The applicant is also considering rotating Building B counterclockwise, pivoting around the southeast corner, to further opening up the pedestrian plaza. 3. Overall assessment of revised plan Overall, rather than trying to achieve a Tyrolean treatment, our goal was to maintain the `Italian hilltown' image as originally proposed. The key to achieving this look is to create vertical building mass, with significant stepping in the forms, both horizontally and vertically. We feel that the changes incorporated in the latest revision have achieved that goal to a significant degree. A complementary goal was to create a building of Old World, timeless character-one that would appear to have been there for hundreds of years. The key to this objective is to avoid building elements, materials and treatments that would have a `contemporary' image. Much of this has been accomplished by removing many of the exterior building panels and converting the remaining ones to appear as building extensions. Other approaches include irregular window placements, use of stone on signature features (towers), using stucco extensively, avoiding joint lines, eliminating strong horizontal balconies, roof treatments etc. Although Design Review Comments3.doc Page sf 2299 PEARL STREET, SUITE 100.
