To the Town Council for the Town of Vail: I am a prior owner of Units 202 and 204 in the Bridge Street Lodge Condominiums and my ownership began in 1989. I was on the Board of the Bridge Street Lodge Residential Owners Association (the "Association") during the entire period of my ownership and was President of the Board until my sale of the property due to my need for additional square footage. I currently own property located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Unit 7 in the City of Vail and have a vested interest in the community. This letter is in support of the appeal by the Association of the Conditional Use Permit granted to Remonov & Company, Inc: for the expansion of the outdoor deck on the second floor at the Vista Bahn Building and in connection with the Tap Room. The condominium units that I owned, Units 202 and 204, are contiguous to the Tap Room. When the Tap Room moved into the Vista Bahn Building and began conducting business approximately three years ago, the enjoyment of my residential units became almost impossible. Due to the excessive noise from the Tap Room, my family and guests had to sleep with earplugs and keep the windows closed in order to sleep. Keeping our windows closed during the summer made the temperature of the condominium intolerable and we had to sleep with earplugs and fans directed at the beds. The excessive noise was generated by customers of the Tap Room who consistently used the existing deck until the business closed at 2:00 a.m. An expansion of this deck would only exacerbate this problem especially if any use of the deck whatsoever is allowed into the late hours of the evening. In addition, the amplified bass from the Tap Room's sound system was audible in the condominium units. The police were called over 50 times to log noise complaints. After visits from the police and warnings give to the Tap Room,. no change in the noise issues occurred. It is my information that the police department's sound meter is not capable of measuring the amplified bass and, therefore, tickets for noise violations were not issued for the majority of the complaints that were logged. I offer this history in support of the Association's position that the expansion of the outdoor patio will serve to continue, and likely increase, the excessive noise. If the Conditional Use Permit is sustained, I believe that more stringent conditions are necessary to solve the noise issues. My understanding is that one of the conditions placed on the Conditional Use Permit is that the use of the outdoor dining deck shall begin no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and end no later than 10:00 p.m. daily. Although I agree with a time restriction, I do not dunk the condition in place is specific enough to solve the noise problem. Based on my experience as a longtime owner of a unit in the Bridge Street Lodge, I believe the condition .must be clarihed to require that-absolutely na person shall be permitted to use the outdoor deck, for any reason whatsoever, beyond sunset or 10:00 p.m., whichever time is later. I also believe that there should be a condition that all south facing doors and windows of the Tap Room shall be required to be closed. Since the Tap Room's entire facility is air-conditioned, this condition is reasonable. If you should have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 248-647-2600.

It has been suggested that Council take additional time in filling some of these assignments; however, there are other committees that could benefit from immediate appointments. Please take time to read and evaluate the narrative for each of these assignments. Where you see COUNCIL DISCRETION, the term is used to indicate the Council may appoint from within or assign staff or another member of the community (please see Water Quality/Quantity and Sybill Navas's offer) to serve in this capacity. Staff has also included whether the position is advisory in nature or voting is mandated. Given the timing of filling Ludwig's position, you might also consider filling some of these positions on an "interim" basis in order to allow the new Councilmember an opportunity to participate. Again, staff is very willing to fill some of these positions at Council's direction and to keep Council updated. If you have any corrections to this overview or require further information, please call Pam Brandmeyer directly at 479-2113. ~~~ RECYCLEDPAPER VAIL TOWN COUNCIL WORK SESSION TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2003 2:00 P.M.

After reviewing several newspaper articles about a company called The Color People, we invited this company to visit Vail and review ideas for using color in Vail Village to create a more interesting retail environment. As the result of that discussion, the consultant provided the Town with a proposal to photographically simulate how color could be creatively used on Bridge Street and Gore Creek Drive. One of the potential outcomes of this work could be a color plan that could be integrated into the Town's design guidelines for specific retail areas in the Town of Vail. If Council were interested in this proposal, staff would also suggest that this color consultant work with the Town's lighting consultant engaged in the streetscape project. Staff is requesting that Council review the attached proposal and determine whether this proposal should be funded.

Quickest, cheapest, easi- estseem more often than not to be their major concerns. Actually, painting can be the moat effective, and more importantly, the moat coati-effective way a developer can make his project stand out from its competition. Consider shopping centers. Shopping centers today are more often then not whet the public seeks out when they want to buy something. What is it about a center that attracts the public? Mostly, its appearance. Particular shops will draw people, but the overall success of a center depends on drawing the public in and encourag- ing them to circulate so that smaller shops ere discovered and frequented. A shopping center's distinct look and indentity are keys• to success in today's marketplace. As centers age; repainting, of course, is neces- sary. Repainting in the same color scheme will Painting can be the most effective, and rrcore importantCy, cost-effectiue way for a developer to make his project stand out. make the center look clean, but trends in color and architecture are always changing. A color scheme that was once fresh and eye- catching can in only a few years look dated and lose its appeal. This pmblem will become much more preva- lent inthe 90'ebecause the public now has a real fascination with color. We wear colors td3.at we P_O6 never would have worn ten years ago-and love it. We use rich, exuberant colors in our homes, on our cars, in our office buildings-everywhere. Color, [believe, will be the marketing tool of the 90's. Repainting in current, even trendy, paint colors can re-energize a shopping center. Making the public sit up and take notice once again to a shopping center will translate into real dollars for the owners and their tenants. As painting contractors, this is important be- cause one doesn't have to sell just maintenance painting but can set] read value added. Painting twat $32,000 but saved $200,000 As an example, we recently worked with Met- ric Property Management Co., on the Goldsmith Shopping Center in Deaver. Metric was quite aware that the center's appeal was waning. 7~e dark browns of the 1970s had been out of favor with the public all over the country for some time. A decisive change in color was essential if the shopping center was to be competitive in the 1990s. A complete architectural rebuild of the facade was the strongest contender to make the change. A survey of current coats for similar rebuilds around the country made it clear that the owners were looking at an expense of around a quarter million dollars, including design and con~truc- tion costs. Awnings were considered, bvt it seemed the effect on appearance in this case would be minimal, while the cost estimates were about $100,000. Ann Watkins, Metric's Denver branch man- ager, contacted The Color People about the pos- sibility of creating a paint scheme which could Nov-13-03 O2:15P make a significant difference. Together, we took up the challenge of making as striking astate- ment-using only paint-as could be made re- building Goldsmith. The results are in the accompanying photos. What we first addressed was how dark the shopping center felt. We lightened the trim and pedestrian walkways. Because dark colors make windows feel dark and closed up, we made the windows light. This makes the shops more inviting. Incindentally, it also shows off the window displays better. In addition, we decided that the ceilings would be painted a light color to make them appear to rise, This, in turn, caused the shops to seem more open. Also, this lighter color would reflect mare light into the shops. A dark color was chosen for the main part of the building to make it feel more substantial and to It's tough to sell a good paint lob to commercial developers and owners. They want a quick, cheap and easy paint job.

Too, the fresh and lively nature of these colors are reflective of what will be popular in the 1990s. All this was accomplished for the coat of paint- ing($30,000) andrepaintingthe signage ($2,000).

What we attempted to do at this shopping center was give it a new feeling while, at the same time, retain something of the familiar lack. We took the forest green and updated it to a little more teal green. We used a lightervalue of this green for banding, coupling it with a mx~- gentasash on the edge of the marquee as a punch color. C±n the rear fasica, we worked with the paint- ing contractor to create a splatter spray finish The use of color on buildings is an art whose time has come, James Martin says. Color can be instrumental in showing a building to its best advantage. During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the use of color was architecturally very important, but its use died out early in the twentieth century, and is only now reawakening. The Victorian palette was very limited and earthtones predominated. Today, the range of color is tremendous, Martin says, and bright colors and subtle shadings sre both available. According to Martin, people often wonder, "Why didn't my building come out like 1 had hoped? Why doesn't it look right?" Martin says that even professional designers have this prob- lem, and the answer lies in the time and atten- tion given to the color selection. He explains that it is important to study how oolore work on buildings to be able to predict how a building will turn out. Even making a drawing doesn't do the trick, he adds, because there ate about 35 color pencils you can get at the art store- -but over 1,600 colors you can get at the paint store-including same 60 shades of white. This points up another reason why paint schemes oftea fail-it is essential to pick the correct shades of color that go well with each other. On top of that, it is necessary to make those shades work with the given colors of the building-the brick, shingles, etc. P.O8 that was not labor-intensive to apply and al- lowed us to keep the signage intact. As a special effect, and to give bums design purpose to the ubiquitous columns, we added neon. The neon design is kind of a visual play on words, with doric-like capitols being plated above the col- umns and vertical bands accenting the paint scheme. Through thix color sclaeme, we achieved a strong visual statement when seen from the road, and afollow-up treat for the eyes when the decorative paint treatment is seen by pedestri- ans. Painting is saving: Aside from the neon, the look of the shopping center canbe easily changed and updated to reflect what wilt be the future popular colors, the next time it needs painting. In contrast, the competitor across the street will be locked into an already tired-looking, post modern design for the next fifteen or so years it will take to recoup the coats of the rebuild. Retail projects are the perfect place to use current color trends. When the next painting takes place in five to eight years, the trends will have changed, and you can change your paint scheme to reflect the newest color trends, So, as a painting contractor, you are not offer- ing just maintenance-but real market value. Or, as Ann Watkins of Metric Property Manage- i Martin founded The Go1or People in 1979. He had been wroking in the restoration field, doing contracting in all phases o[ renovation, when he disccovered that there was a real need for someone whom people could turn to for color advice when painting building exteriors. He drew on his color experience in college' (degree in Graphic Uesign) and in his renova- tion work experience. Martin's experience in VlltUrian and architectural history gave him the knowledge and backgi~uund to enter the color 5eld in Denver. After several years of success in Denver and other Colorado cities, he ~ expanded his services nationwide. ' Today, The Color People provide both interior j and exterior advice for old and new homes, I commercial buildings, housing developments, apartment complexes, restaurants, and Main Street projects. Martin's portfolio includes ~ local landmark structures and buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Painting contractors are advised by Martin that customers want their houses to be a reflec- tion of themselves. When working with a customer, Martin spends considerable effort finding out, not only what colors customers are partial to, but also whet kind of tone they want the house to set. Colors are picked and a design scheme is created inkeeping with all the client's preferences. ^ _ ._.-... °Nov-13-03 02:17P ment, Co. puts it: "The cost of a complete rehab can knock ten to fifteen years off the worth of a building." As color becomes more and more a part of our lives, and as consumers' decision-making pro- cess is effected more and more by color, the painting industry is well-placed to offer a new dimension to what we sell. We no longer need to be selling just upkeep and simple appearance. It is now quite obvious that painting is simply the easiest, most cost-effective way to make a major change in the marketability of a building. Color will be the marketing tool of the 90s and, as part of the painting industry, you can make use of this fact to sell your services. ^ Painting done at the Arapahoe Village Shopping Center in Boulder ie a good eaample of vieualty remaking a comraer- cialfacility without costly remodeling.
