Greg Hall ITEM/TOPIC: Vail Village Streetscape Cost Sharing and Paving Materials Selection (30 min.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff is requesting Council provide feedback and direction on the three following items re: the Vail Village Streetscape Redevelopment Project. a. Plan for cost sharing between the town and private property owners. b. Contractor selection process. c. Selection of paving materials. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Cost Sharing The Council Design Committee and town staff have developed a plan for sharing the cost of streetscape improvements between the town and the private property owners affected by the streetscape project. A draft letter intended to be delivered to each of the property owners and/or associations is attached for the Council's review and comments. Staff has had discussions with most of the property owners affected and has determined that most property owners are in favor of a voluntary participation in the funding of streetscape improvements as long as the process is equitable to everyone involved. In the cost sharing plan, each property is assessed for the actual private property area included in the streetscape .improvements. The amount of the assessment is based on the estimated cost of $91 per square foot for streetscape improvements including design and contingency. Credits are given for privately funded streetscape improvements completed in the past five years and for private areas which are used as public spaces. The attached spreadsheet outlines the areas and dollar assessments for each property. Contractor Selection Considering the tight schedule, the need for minimal impact to businesses and residents during construction, and the desire for a quality constructed project, the Town of Vail is requiring a selection of a general contractor based not only on cost. The selection process will be based on a combination of experience in similar work, references on past work, resources available to perform the work, ability to bond the work, the approach to the project, and construction cost. The process for selection of the general contractor for the work consists of a prequalification process and a proposal process. Please see the attached proposal for contractor selection for the complete process and timeline. Materials Selection The Design Team has selected several types of concrete unit pavers and stone pavement for inclusion in the streetscape improvements. Staff will have samples of the various pavement types available for council review and comments. STAFF RECCOMMENDATION The Town Council is requested to review the information provided and provide feedback and direction to Town Staff regarding the continuing processes of cost sharing, contractor selection and materials selection. 7. Pam Brandmeyer ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion of Complimentary Use of the Donovan Pavilion (30 min.)

MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: December 2, 2003 SUBJECT: Worksession to discuss proposed text amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town .Code, to amend the Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) regulations in the Hillside Residential (HR), Single-Family Residential (SFR), Two-Family Residential (R), Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS), Residential Cluster (RC), Low Density Multiple-Family (LDMF), Medium Density Multiple-Family (MDMF), High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF), and Housing (H) zone districts, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Vicki Pearson, et.al. Planner: Bill Gibson I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Worksession to discuss proposed text amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, to amend the Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) regulations in the Hillside Residential (HR), Single-Family Residential (SFR), Two-Family Residential (R), Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS), Residential Cluster (RC), Low Density Multiple-Family (LDMF), Medium Density Multiple-Family (MDMF), High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF), and Housing (H) zone districts, and setting forth details in regard thereto. II. BACKGROUND On September 8, 2003, the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission voted 6-0 to forward a recommendation of approval for proposed text amendments to the Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) regulations for Vail's residential zone districts. On October 7, 2003, the Town Council established a review schedule for the proposed text amendments to the GRFA regulations. The purpose of this Worksession is to allow staff an opportunity to provide the Town Council with background information related to the Town's current policies and regulations related to GRFA. The goal of this presentation is two fold: for each Council Member to understand the nuances of today's GRFA regulations and for each Council Member to understand the inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and challenges associated with today's regulations. Therefore, the Council will not be making any policy decisions nor voting actions related to GRFA at this time. Attached for reference is an excerpt from Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, related to Gross Residential Floor Area (see Attachment A). 1 III. INTRODUCTION TO GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA (GRFA) What is GRFA? Gross Residential Floor Area: The total square footage of all levels of a building, as measured at the inside face of the exterior walls. GRFA shall include, but not be limited to, elevator shafts and stairwells at each level, lofts, fireplaces, bay windows, mechanical chases, vents, and storage areas. Why does the Town of Vail regulate GRFA? The regulation of GRFA is "...intended to control and limit the size, bulk, and mass of residential structures within the town. Gross residential floor area (GRFA} regulation is an effective tool for limiting the size of residential structures and ensuring that residential structures are developed in an environmentally sensitive manner by allowing adequate air and light in residential areas and districts." What portion of my home counts as GRFA? The entire home -sometimes. What portion of my home does NOT count as GRFA (single-family, two- family, and primary/secondary structures)? Garages, attics, crawlspaces, decks, porches, vaulted spaces, walls, and greenhouse windows -sometimes. What portion of my home does NOT count as GRFA (multpiple-family structures)? Solar rock storage areas, mechanical systems, garages, common spaces, hallways, stairways, elevator shafts, airlocks, lobbies, recreation facilities, closets, storage rooms, meeting and convention facilities, offices, employee housing units, attics, crawlspaces, decks, porches, vaulted spaces, and greenhouse windows -sometimes. How does the Town of Vail determine the allowable GRFA for my home? Allowable GRFA is calculated using a formula based upon zoning classification and tot size (sometimes the entire lot area and other times the "buildable" lot area). Allowable GRFA for asingle-family home is based upon the property size. The allowable GRFA for a duplex home is based upon the duplex property size (i.e. both halves of the duplex and any commonly owned property), unless the single- family or duplex home is constructed as part of a residential "cluster" type development. In such case, GRFA calculation methods vary depending upon how the home is constructed and subdivided. Allowable GRFA for amultiple-family home may be based upon the individual dwelling unit property or a combination of all dwelling unit properties and all commonly owned properties, depending upon how the multiple-family home is constructed and subdivided. Once the GRFA formula has been calculated, based upon zoning classification and lot size, a homeowner may receive an additional GRFA credit of 225, X25, or 850 sq. ft. depending upon zoning classification and the type of home constructed. 2 Additionally, a homeowner may also be eligible to receive a GRFA bonus of 250 sq. ft. through a "250 Addition." Furthermore, a homeowner may also be eligible to receive an unlimited amount of GRFA bonus to convert crawlspaces, attics, and vaulted spaces to GRFA through the "Interior Conversion" clause of the GRFA regulations. Also, if the homeowner constructs a Type 1, II, or III employee housing unit, the homeowner may be eligible for additional GRFA bonuses ranging from 500 sq. ft. to 1,200 sq. ft. If a home is part of a Special Development District or subdivided with "plat restrictions" the above listed GRFA calculations may not apply. Any GRFA allowances specified by a Special Development District or a plat note preempt the GRFA allowances identified in the Town's zoning regulations. How much GRFA does my home already have? The Community Development Department maintains records of approved GRFA for individual properties. However, the Town does not have GRFA records for all properties (example: homes originally constructed in Eagle County and later annexed into the Town) and some records may be outdated or inaccurate (example: illegal construction has occurred without Town approval). Most construction projects involving the addition, removal, or reconfiguration of a home's GFRA will require the homeowner's architect to prepare "as-built" floor plans to accurately calculate existing GRFA. Why is my neighbor allowed more GRFA than l am? Even though an individual's home has the same zoning classification and lot size as their neighbor, the neighbor may be allowed a different amount of GRFA. In the Two-Family Primary/Secondary zone district, one half of a duplex shall not exceed 40% (approximately) of the allowable GRFA for the entire lot (i.e. both halves of the duplex). Additionally, the Town's current regulations give GRFA bonuses to select individual homeowners based upon when and how their home was constructed: Interior Conversions: Allows for the conversion of interior spaces (crawl spaces, attic spaces, and vaulted spaces) into GRFA for ONLY those homes constructed or approved prior to August 5, 1997. There is no limit on the amount of area that can be converted to GRFA. 250 Ordinance: Allows for a bonus of 250 sq. ft. of GRFA for ONLY those homes constructed or applied for approval prior to November 30, 1995. Furthermore, Type I, II, and III employee housing units may also be eligible for additional GRFA credits. Private party-wall agreements and declarations, and other similar private contracts, may also affect a homeowner's allowable GRFA and development potential. The Town of Vail is never a party to these private agreements and does not recognize nor enforce such agreements. 3 IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Listen to a staff presentation summarizing the Town's current policies and regulations related to Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA). Again, the purpose of this worksession is to allow staff an opportunity to provide the Town Council with background information related to the Town's current policies and regulations related to GRFA. Staff believes that in order for the Town Council to make informed policy decisions related to GRFA, the Council must first understand the nuances of today's existing regulations. Therefore, the goal of this presentation is two fold: for each Council Member to understand the nuances of today's GRFA regulations and for each Council Member to understand the inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and challenges associated with today's regulations. The Council will not be making any policy decisions nor voting actions related to GRFA at this time. V.

Enclosed garages of up to three hundred (300) square feet per vehicle space not exceeding a maximum of two (2) spaces for each allowable dwelling unit permitted by this title. b. Attic space with a ceiling height of five feet (5') or less, as measured from the top side of the structural members of the floor to the underside of the structural members of the roof directly above. Attic area created by construction of a roof with truss type members will be excluded from calcu- lation as GRFA, provided the trusses are spaced no greater than thirty inch- es (30") apart. December 2001 Town of V¢il 12-15-3 c. Grawlspaces accessib{e through an opening not greater than twelve (12) square feet in area, with five feet (5') or less of,ceiling height, as mea- sured from the surface of the earth to the underside of structural floor mem- bers of the floor/ceiling assembly above. d. Roofed or covered deck, porch- es, terraces, patios or similar features or spaces with no more than three (3) exterior walls and a minimum opening of not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the lineal perimeter of the area of said deck, porch, terrace, patio, or similar feature or space, provided the opening is contiguous and' fully. open from floor to ceiling with an allowance for a railing of up to three feet (3') in height. 2. Multiple-Family Structures: Within buildings containing more than two (2) allowable dwellings or accommodation .units, the following additional areas shall be excluded from calculation as GRFA. GRFA shall be calculated by measuring the total square footage of a building as set forth herein. Exclud- ed areas as set forth shall then be deducted from the total square foot- age: a.

All or part of an air lock within an accommodation or dwelling unit not exceeding a maximum of twenty five (25) square feet, providing such unit has direct access to the outdoors. d. Overlapping stairways within an accommodation unit or dwelling unit shall only be counted at the lowest level. e. Attic space with a ceiling height of five feet (5') or less, as measured from the top side of the structural members of the floor to the underside of the structural members of the roof directly above. Attic areas created by construction of a roof with truss type members will be excluded from calcu- lation as GRFA, provided the trusses Town of Vail 12-15-3 are spaced no greater than thirty inch- es (30"} apart. f. Crawlspaces accessible through an opening not greater than twelve (12} square feet in area, with five feet (5') or less of ceiling height, as mea- sured from the surface of the earth to the underside of structural floor mem- bers of the floor/ceiling assembly above. g. Roofed or covered decks, porch- es, terraces, patios or similar features or spaces with no more than three (3) exterior walls and a minimum opening of not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the lineal perimeter of the area of said deck, porch, terrace, patio, or similar feature or space, provided the opening is contiguous and fully open from floor to ceiling, with an allowance for a railing ,of up to three feet (3') in height and support posts with a diameter of eighteen inches (18") or less which are spaced no closer than ten feet (10') apart. The space between the posts shalt be measured from the outer surface of the post. B. Additional Calculation Provisions: 1. Walls: Interior walls are included in GRFA calculations. For two-family and primary/secondary structures, com- mon party walls shall be considered exterior walls. 2. Greenhouse Windows: Greenhouse windows (self-supporting windows) shat! not be counted as GRFA. "Greenhouse windows" are defined according to the following criteria: Town of Vail 12-15-3 a. Distance Above Inside Floor Level: In order for a window to be considered a greenhouse window, a minimum distance of thirty six inches (36") must be provided between the bottom of the window and the floor surface, as measured on the inside face of the building wall. (Floor sur- face shall not include steps necessary to meet building code egress require- ments.) The thirty six inch (36") mini- mum was chosen because it locates the window too high to be comfortably used as a window seat and because it allows for a typical four foot (4') high greenhouse window to be used in a room .with an eight foot (8') ceiling height. b. Projection:. No greenhouse win- dow may protrude more than eighteen inches (~ 8") from the exterior surface of the building. This distance allows for adequate relief for appearance purposes, without substantially adding to the mass and bulk of the building. c. Construction Characteristics: All greenhouse windows shall be self- supporting and shall not require spe- cial framing or construction methods for support, with the exception that brackets below the window may be allowed provided they die into the wall of the building at a forty five degree (45°) angle. A small roof over the window may also be allowed provided the overhang is limited to four inches (4") beyond the window plane. d. Dimensional Requirement: No greenhouse window shall have a total window surface area greater than forty four (44) square feet. This figure was derived on the assumption that the maximum height of a window, in an June 2000 12-15-3 12-15-3 average sized room, is four feet (4') and the maximum width for a four foot (4') high self-supporting window is between six feet (6') and eight feet (8') (approximately 32 square feet). Since the window would protrude no more than eighteen inches (18"), the addition of side windows would bring the overall window area to apr~roxi- mately forty four (44) square feet. e. Quantity: Up to two {2) green- house windows will be allowed per dwelling unit, however, the forty four (44) square foot size limitation will apply to the combined area of the two (2) windows. f. Site Coverage: Greenhouse win- dows do not count as site coverage. 3. Vaulted Spaces: Vaulted spaces and areas "open to below" are not included in GRFA calculations. 4. Garage Credit: 5. Crawl And Attic Space: a. Crawlspaces created by a "stepped foundation", hazard mitiga- tion, or other similar engineering re- quirement that has a total height in excess of five feet (5') may be exclud- ed from GRFA calculations at the discretion of the Administrator. b. !f a roof structure is designed utilizing a nontruss system, and spac- es greater than five feet (5') in height result, these areas shall not be count- ed as GRFA if all of the following criteria are met: (1) The area cannot be accessed directly from a habitable area within the same building level; (2) The area shall have the mini- mum access required by the building code from the level below (6 square foot opening maximum); a. Allowable garage area is award- (3) The attic space shall net ed on a "per space basis", with a have a structural floor capable of maximum of two (2) spaces per allow- supporting a "live load" greater able unit. Each garage space shall be `~ than forty (40) pounds per designed with direct and unobstructed _ square fcot, and the "floor" of vehicular access. All floor area includ- the attic space cannot not be ed in the garage credit shall be contig- improved with decking; uous to a vehicular space. (4) It must be demonstrated by b. 'Alcoves, storage areas, and the architect that a "truss-type" mechanical areas which are located in or similar structural system can- the garage and which are twenty five not be utilized as defined in the percent (25%) or more open to the definition of GRFA; and garage area shall be included as ga- rage credit. (5) It will be necessary that a structural element (i.e., collar-tie) c. Garage space in excess of the be utilized when rafters are used allowable garage credit shall be count- for the roof system. In an unusu- ed as GRFA. al situation, such as when a June 2000 Town o f Vail 12-15-3 bearing ridge system is used, the staff will review the space for compliance with this policy. 6. Primary/Secondary Units: a. The four hundred twenty five (425) square foot credit per unit shall be applied to each unit after the six- ty/forty (60/40) split has been calculat- ed (i.e., the secondary unit shall be limited to 40 percent of the total GRFA plus 425 square feet). b. On primary/secondary and two- family lots, GRFA is calculated based on the entire lot. (Ord. 6(2000) § 5: Ord. 3(1999) § 8: Ord. 13(1997) § 3) 12-15-4: INTERIOR CONVERSIONS: A. Purpose: The interior conversion sec- tion of this chapter provides for flexi- bility and latitude with the use of inte- rior spaces within existing dwelling units that meet or exceed the allow- able gross residential floor area (GRFA). This would be achieved by allowing for the conversion of existing interior spaces such as vaulted spac- es, crawlspaces, and other interior spaces into floor area, provided- the bulk. and mass of the building is not increased. This provision -is intended to accommodate existing homes where residents desire to expand the amount of usable space in the interior of a home. The town has also recog- nized that property owners have con- structed interior space without building permits. This provision is also intend- ed to reduce the occurrence of interior building activity without building per- mits and thereby further protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community. 12-15-4 B. Applicability: Single-family, two-family, primary/secondary or multi-family dwelling units that meet or exceed allowable GRFA will be eligible to make interior conversions provided the following criteria are satisfied: 1. Any existing dwelling unit .shall be eligible to add GRFA, via the "interior space conversion" provision in excess of existing or allowable GRFA includ- ing such units located in a special development district; provided, that such GRFA complies with the stan- dards outlined herein. 2. For the purpose of this section, "existing unit" shall mean any dwelling unit that has been constructed prior to August 5, 1997, and has received a certificate of occupancy, or has been issued a building permit prior to Au- gust 5, .1997, or has received final design review board approval prior to August 5, 1997. C. Standards: 1. No application to add floor area pursuant to this section shall be made until such time as all the allowable GRFA has been constructed on the property, or an.application is presently pending in conjunction with the appli- cation to add floor area that utilizes all allowable GRFA for the property. 2. Applications to add floor area pur- suant to this section shall be con- structed utilizing the floor area or volume of the building that is in exis- tence prior to August 5, 1997. New structures or exterior additions to existing structures built after the effec- tive date hereof will not be eligible for interior conversions. Examples of how floor area can be increased under the Town of Vdil February 2002 12-15-4 provision of this section include the conversion of existing basement or crawlspaces to GRFA, the addition of lofts within the building volume of the existing building, and the conversion of other existing interior spaces such as storage areas to GRFA. 3. Proposals for GRFA pursuant to this section may involve exterior modi- fications to existing buildings, howev- er, such modifications shall not in- crease the building bulk and mass of the existing building. Examples of exterior modifications which are con- sidered to increase building bulk and mass include, but are not limited to, the expansion of any existing exterior walls of the building, regrading around a building in a manner which exposes more than two (2). vertical feet of ex- isting exterior walls and the expansion of existing roofs. Notwithstanding the two (2) vertical foot limitation to re- grading around a building described above, additional regrading may be permitted in order to allow for egress from new interior spaces. The extent of such regrading shall be limited to providing adequate egress areas for 12-15-4 windows or doors as per the minimum necessary requirement for the adopt- ed building code. Examples of exterior modifications which are not consid- ered to increase building bulk and mass include, but are not limited to, the addition of windows, doors, sky- lights, and window wells.

The additional ERWSD properties are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use-2 (LMU-2) district (i.e. Tract C and Parcel 2) and Outdoor Recreation (OR) district (i.e. Unplatted Parcel and Parcel 3). The proposed rezoning request will apply General Use (GU) zoning to all the ERWSD properties (i.e. proposed Lot 1). The General Use (GU) district allows for bath water and sewage treatment plants and for public parking facilities and structures as conditional uses. An existing zoning map has been attached for reference (Attachment B). Minor Subdivision The proposed minor subdivision request will consolidate several ERWSD owned properties into a single lot. A copy of the proposed final plat has been attached for reference (Attachment D). As noted on the proposed final plat, Lot 31, Tract C, Tract D, Parcels 1, 2, & 3, and an Unplatted Parcel will all be resubdivided into one property (i.e. Lot 1, Vail Village 2"d Filing). The proposed conditional use permit requests will facilitate the expansion of the existing ERWSD plant. The existing plant will need to be expanded to accommodate the anticipated redevelopment and build-out of Vail, especially the anticipated redevelopment of Lionshead. The conditional use permit requests will also facilitate the construction of a parking structure. This parking structure will accommodate ERWSD employee parking needs and provide additional public parking opportunities. The applicant is requesting that public parking be temporarily allowed on the site during the 2003-2004 ski season. Once the ERWSD plant expansion has been constructed, the applicant is requesting that public parking be allowed on the site during weekends, special events, and other occasions when overflow parking is needed. Architectural plans have been attached for reference (Attachment E). Additionally, an Environmental Impact Report has been attached for reference (Attachment F). Conditional Use Permit The applicant's more detailed description of the request has been attached for reference (Attachment C). Please note that the Planning and Environmental Commission will not be reviewing a conditional use permit request for a Vail Resorts snowcat access road, as such a road does not require a conditional use permit. The proposed snowcat access road, bridge, retaining walls, revegetation plan, etc. will be reviewed by the Design Review Board. 2 III. BACKGROUND The ERWSD plant was originally constructed in the early 1970's and expanded in the early 1980's. In the past year, ERWSD has acquired additional adjacent properties to facilitate a needed expansion of the existing plant. The proposed plant expansion will be necessary to accommodate the anticipated, upcoming build-out and redevelopment of Vail, especially the redevelopment of Lionshead. The need to expand the existing plant onto the old Town shops parcel was recommended in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan in Sections 4.9.4.5 and 5.18. IV.

General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. 8. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Chapter 12-3: Administration and Enforcement (in part) Section 12-3-7: Amendments A. Prescription: The regulations prescribed in this title and the boundaries of the districts shown on the official zoning map may be amended, orrepealed by the town council in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this chapter. Chapter 12-9: General Use (GU) District (in part) Section 12-9C-1: Purpose 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- publicuses 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. 5 Chapter 72-16: Conditional Use Permits (in part) Section 12-16-1: Purpose 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 maybe 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. Town of Vail Land Use Plan The Town of Vail Land Use Plan designates this site a Community Office (CO). This land use designation is described by the Town of Vail Land Use Plan as follows: This area is designed to meet consumer demands from community residents. Primary uses would include supermarkets, dry cleaning establishments, hardware stores, services stations, financial institutions and medical oflrces. The design of these facilities would be oriented toward vehicular access and parking. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan includes the following goal statements. that staff believes are applicable to this proposal: 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. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Chapter 4: Master Plan Recommendations -Overall Study Area (in part) 4.9.4.5 Old Town Shops The old Town shops, located just west of the Vail sanitation plant, were identified as a potential employee housing location during the master planning process. There are, however, other significant demands on this site, including potential expansion of the sanitation plant and the need for a new snowcat mountain access route from 6 the Vail Associates service yard. In addition, the presence of the sanitation plant on one side and the existing gas station on the other reduces the desirability of this location for employee or locals housing. Chapter 5: Detailed Recommendations (in part) 5.18 Old Town Shops The old town shops site has been targeted for a variety of uses throughout the master planning process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail sanitation plant, and Vail Associates mountain services. These uses may be appropriate for the site, but They are not compatible. Input from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District suggests that the property will most likely be used for expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard. If the old town shops are removed the existing storage component will be replaced at the Town of Vail public works shop. VI. VII.

CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Consideration of an Amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail 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. Staff Response: Staff believes the proposed rezoning is consistent with the above listed purpose of the zoning regulations and the General Use (GU) district. Staff also believes the proposed rezoning is consistent the with the above listed specific goal statements of the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. The applicant's. proposal is specifically recommended in Sections 4.9.4.5 and 5.18 in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 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. Staff Response: The ERWSD plant currently exists on the site and the proposed rezoning will facilitate an expansion of the plant deemed necessary to accommodate land uses throughout the entire Town of Vail. The rezoning will also facilitate an increase in the availability of public parking. 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. Staff Response: The proposed rezoning will facilitate the enhancement of the water and sewer system and public parking system within the Town of Vail, thus improving the relationship among land uses and the carrying capacity of the community as it relates to new growth and water quality. 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. Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of the water and sewer system within the Town of Vail, thus allowing for the orderly growth and viability of the community. A portion of the ERSWD site is currently zoned General Use (GU) district, thus rezoning all of ERSWD's properties to the same district is not considered a spot zoning. This development is also specifically recommended in the Lionshead Master Plan. 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. 8 Staff Response: The proposed minor subdivision will facilitate the enhancement of the water and sewer system within the Town of Vail, thus positively affecting the above listed criteria.

An expansion of the ERSWD plant is necessary to accommodate this redevelopment and the further build-out of Vail. Also, the availability of public parking is inadequate to meet both current and future demands. The rezoning will facilitate an increase in public parking availability. 8. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before recommending approval of an Amendment to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail: 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; and 2.

Summary ofProposal The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District ("District's is proposing to expand the capacity of the existing waste water plant and construct a new drinking water treatment plant ("the Plant") located at the intersection of Forest Road and the South Frontage Road in Vail. The District recently acquired land from the Town of Vail (the Old Town Shops) to facilitate this plant expansion. The need for the plant expansion is generated by future development and build-out of the Town of Vail and is largely required due to projected redevelopment in the Lionshead area as directed by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. VR Maintenance Site Vail Professional Building ERWLS.R. Bdg's S AIr1000 Proposed Expansion Site Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. t i _J f <. 1111 The District has been working cooperatively with Vail Resorts in order to relocate the existing snowcat route from Forest Road. Part of this proposal is a request to allow snowcat access across District property to a bridge across Gore Creek. Vail Resorts, under separate application, is seeking approval for the new snowcat bridge across the Gore Creek and a new access route connecting to the Cascade Way (formerly Westin Hi Ho) trail on Vail Mountain. This improvement will reduce conflicts with the residents along Forest Road and provide a more direct route from Vail Resorts' maintenance facility located on the north side of the S. Frontage Road. _~ cc~a ~~ _i Additionally, the District is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow public parking on the District's property. This permit would allow public parking temporarily on the Old Town Shops site and within the existing parking lot (approximately 80 - 100 spaces) after removal of the existing Old Town Shops. This approval would allow this temporary parking for one ski season and would help the Town reduce parking pressure on South Frontage Road. In addition, the conditional use permit would allow public parking in the District's parking lot upon expansion of that facility on weekends, during special events, or other times when ,,~~ overflow parking is needed by the community. This approval would allow parking for approximately 65 cars. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. " -:1 ~.~ To facilitate the expansion and construction of the District's Plant, the snowcat access, and the public parking requests, the following applications are submitted: • Rezoning request from Lionshead Mixed Use 2 to General Use (Old Town Shops parcel) • Rezoning request from Outdoor Recreation to General Use (existing and newly acquired parcels along the creek) • Conditional use fox a water and wastewater treatment plant (expansion) • Conditional use for a snowcat access route and snowmaking pump house (below grade) • Conditional use for temporary and permanent public parking • Minor subdivision plat to consolidate all District parcels • Design Review Application for the project B. KeyElemer~ts of the Proposal Key elements of the plan include: • Expansion of the treatment capacity of the wastewater plant to service the Vail area • Construction of a new drinking water treatment plant that will provide increased capacity and decrease reliance on upstream wells dui7ng low-flow periods • Enhancement of stream flows in Gore Creek through the Town of Vail and downstream to Dowd's Junction • Removal of snowcats and snowmaking pump house from a residential area (Forest Road) • Redevelopment of a unsightly and dilapidated structure and site • Increasing the supply of available public parking when most needed by the community C. Review Process The applicant is requesting that all of the proposed applications and permits be reviewed simultaneously. Rezonrt~g.• The process fox rezoning requires that the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) review and forward a recommendation to the Town Council. The Town Council is the final review authority on the rezoning request. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. 3 Conditional Use Permits: The General Use zone district allows public utility facilities, public parking, and ski mountain access facilities subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The PEC has final review authority on a CUP. In the General Use zone district the PEC is also required to determine the development standards for the project, including building height, setbacks, parking, landscaping, and site coverage. Design Review The process for the design review approval requires the Design Review Board to review and approve the proposed landscape and architecture of the project. The appropriate applications and materials have been submitted for this review. Minor Subdivrsron: The process for a minor resubdivision of the property (consolidation of all parcels to one parcel) requires that the PEC review and approve the subdivision. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District t Braun Associates, Inc. 4 II. Description of the Project A. Background The original wastewater treatment plant was developed in the early 1970's. That facility occupies the site where the offices and parking exist today on land zoned General Use (GU). In the early 1980's additional land was acquired from the Town of Vail and the plant was redeveloped and expanded. The land acquired in the 1980's is zoned Outdoor Recreation and is developed with the existing wastewater treatment facility. This year the District acquired three additional parcels from the Town of Vail to allow for expansion to the plant. These parcels are currently occupied by the Old Town Shops, parking, and driveways accessing the adjacent CDOT right-of--way. The parcels developed with the Old Town Shops are currently zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and the parcel to the south of the shops (developed as parking is zoned Outdoor Recreation.

Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility The site is currently developed with a wastewater treatment facility and administration facilities for the District. The specific uses include administration, accounting, engineering, customer service, human resources, and wastewater treatment. The current facility contains 36,523 sq. ft. of wastewater treatment facilities and 14,000 sq. ft. of offices and meeting rooms. There are 39 parking spaces provided on-site to serve the employees and visitors to the site. The current number of employees working within this facility is 29 employees.. ,_ r' - ~_ ..? ~, ~f' ~, i t }_ ,_.. ~~~ i, . ~ T~ ~ .~ , e^- ~_ C. Proposed Development Existing Old Town Shops The proposed expansion includes an expanded wastewater treatment facility and new drinking water treatment facility. The proposed uses will occur as an expansion of the existing structures on-site and will occur on the newly acquired parcels of land (Old Town Shops). The footprint of the new structure is 12,600 sq. ft. The proposed structure is built substantially below grade and will appear as a single-story with parking on top of the structure. The proposed use will include treatment facilities and office areas. The new plant area will be 12,600 sq. ft. of which 138 sq. ft. is office area. There will be a total increase in parking of 26 parking spaces for a total of 65 parking spaces on-site. There is a negligible increase in the staffing levels as a result of the proposed expansion with the addition of 1 employee for a total of 30 employees. The District i; taking advantage of the surface area created in the top of the plant facility which has a capacity for 65 parking spaces. 'i7 Eagle River Water & Sanitation District 6 Braun Associates, Inc. -' 1- =? _ Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant The expanded wastewater treatment plant is designed to operate at 5.6 MGD (maximum daily flow) and 7.0 MGD (peak hourly flow). The new drinking water plant is designed to operate at 3.0 MGD. Refer to the Environmental Impact Report for more detail on the operations of the facilities on.this site. In conjunction with this application is a conditional use request to allow snowcats to traverse the District's property from the Vail Resort's maintenance yard to a proposed bridge across Gore Creek. The snowcat access bridge is being proposed by Vail Resort's under separate application and that bridge and access route to the Cascade Way trail are located entirely on Town of Vail property. The proposed access route will replace the route currently traveling up West Forest Road. A 25' wide access easement to allow snowcats on District property will be established by a separate easement document. The proposal also includes a subsurface snowmaking pump facility to replace that facility located at the tennis court site on West Forest Road for use by Vail Resorts. D. Rezoning Request In order to allow the proposed uses and consolidate the existing parcels of land, a consistent zoning designation is required for the property. The current wastewater treatment facilities are developed on 4 contiguous but separate parcels of land. The primary uses axe located on a parcel zone General Use while a portion of the existing facility is located on a parcel zoned Outdoor Recreation. Utility facilities axe a conditional use in the General Use zone district but are not listed either as a permitted or conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation zone district. _The newly acquired parcels to the west of the existing facility axe zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 (LMU2) and Outdoor Recreation. Please refer to the zoning map below. The LMU2 zone district would allow the proposed plant expansion subject to a conditional use permit, however, to create consistency the newly acquired parcels are proposed to be rezoned to General Use.

Zonrng Analysis Below is the Zoning Analysis for the District's project. 1. Parcel Size Total Acreage (all parcels): 2.0319 acres or 88,509.56 sq. ft. 2. Setbacks Setbacks of uses and structures are indicated in the proposed development plan. The setbacks for the proposed building are 15' along the South Frontage Road, 26'+ along the west property line adjacent to Amoco, and 20'+along the south or rear property line. The proposed structures are beyond the 50' stream setback. 3. Height The proposed structure is located largely below grade. The proposed building height in the worst-case is approximately 12' from finished grade. 4. Landscaping, Site Development, and Site Coverage The proposed landscaping and site coverage is as proposed on the site development plan. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District 6 Braun Associates, Inc. Snow Storage The parking lot is proposed to have 63 parking spaces. Since the required daily parking for the site is substantially lower than the number of spaces being provided, a portion of the existing parking lot will be used to store snow. 6. Parlang The proposed project will provide more than ample parking for the number of employees working on-site and the number of visitors to the building. Parking is being increased by 26 parking spaces even though only one employee is being added. The District is taking advantage of the surface area created on top of the proposed plant which has a capacity of 65 parking spaces. The excess capacity will help offset the Town's skier parking needs on weekends. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. I J III. Conditional Use Permit Criteria Below is the criteria used by the staff and the Planning and Environmental Commission when reviewing a request for a Conditional Use Permit. Each criterion has been addressed and we find that `- the proposal fully complies with each. All of the following conditional use permits being requested are ~ included in this analysis: • Water and wastewater treatment plant • Snowcat access to Vail Mountain • Temporary and permanent public parking A.

Our Analysis: The proposed uses are being located in an infill area of the Town in an area that is characterized by utility, service, and light industrial uses. The proposed uses are identified in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as suitable uses for the area. The proposed snowcat access route was also identified by the Master Plan as a positive change to divert snowcat traffic on Forest Road. The proposed wastewater and water treatment plant expansion will allow growth to occur within areas of the Town planned for development over the next 20 or more years. B. The ~ect of the use on ligl~t and air, distribution ofpopulation, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Our Analysis: The proposed project will have little impact on light and air, population, transportation a facilities, schools, parks, or recreation .facilities. The proposal will expand the capacity of existing water and wastewater treatment and will therefore improve the ability of the town to redevelop. The proposed snowcat access route will reduce conflicts with vehicles on West Forest Road and thus improve the flow of traffic in that area. The proposed facility is a low one-story building which will have little if any effect on light and air. The new drinking water treatment plant will help to increase the flows in Gore Creek during low-flow periods by pulling watex from the confluence of Gore Creek and Eagle River instead of the wells located under the Vail Golf Course. C. Effect upon tra~ic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrzan safety and convenience, tra~c flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snore from the street and parking areas. Eagle River Water & Sanitarion District (, ~ Braun Associates, Inc. 10 i Our Analysis: The proposed plan will improve the traffic conditions and flow in the area. Snowcats will be removed from Forest Road thus reducing conflicts with residential traffic and pedestrians in that area. The proposed plant facility includes adequately sized parking areas and drive aisles to accommodate the uses proposed on-site including the occasional use for public parking on weekends. Adequate snow storage areas are planned on site. D. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to 6e located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Our Analysis: The proposed uses are being located in an infill area of the Tov~n in an area that is characterized by utility, service, and light industrial uses. The proposed uses are identified in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as suitable uses for the area. The proposed wastewater treatment plant expansion will allow growth to occur within areas of the Town planned for development over the next 20 or more years. The proposed scale of the structures is consistent with those commercial and industrial uses found in the area. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. 11 r IV. Rezoning Criteria Below is the codified criteria used by the staff, the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the Town Council when reviewing a request for a rezoning. The criteria have been addressed and we find that the proposal fully complies with each criterion. a. The extent to which the tione 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 tl~e Town. ! Our Analysis: _a The proposed zone distiict is consistent with the historic use of the property and the adjacent property. The proposed zone district is consistent with the Vail Comprehensive Plan as this area is identified for public uses such as utilities. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan recognizes this area as a potential site for the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant and the relocated snowcat access route. The proposed expansion will improve the capacity of the treatment facility which will allow the Town to achieve its redevelopment goals in Lionshead and elsewhere in the Town. b. The extent to which the done district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existinb and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents. _Our Analysis: The proposed zoning and land use designation is compatible and suitable with adjacent land uses. The amendment will allow an extension of the existing wastewater treatment facility, the construction of a new drinking water treatment plant, and will create a more direct route for snowcats accessing Vail Mountain. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan identifies this area for these type of uses. c. The extesat to which the done district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship amo~rg land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. ^~' Our Analysis: As stated above, the proposed use of the property is consistent and compatible with the neighborhood and will provide for a harmonious relationship to the adjacent land uses. The character and scale of the proposed facilities will be controlled by the Town through the conditional use process to ensure that potential development will be compatible with neighboring uses. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (; Braun Associates, Inc. 12 ., r _, ti !I d. The extent to which the done district amendment provider for the growth of an orderly viable community and does riot constitute spot caning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole. Our Anal The proposed rezoning is a logical extension of the existing land uses on the subject property and on neighboring properties. The uses and development limitations will be established through the conditional use process and will ensure the development of an orderly viable community. The proposed land uses are in the overall interest of the community given the need for utility facilities. The extent to which the tione 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. Our Analysis: The proposed rezoning will have little impact on the natural environment of the site or the Town as a whole. The site itself does not contain any unique natural qualities other than being located adjacent to Gore Creek. The proposed site is currently developed with the Old Town Shops, previously owned by the Town of Vail, which includes paving and grading of the entire site. Measures will be taken to improve the drainage and vegetative qualities of the site. f. The extent to which the tione district amendment is consistent with the purposes of the proposed done district. Our Anal~is: The proposed zone district is consistent with the purposes of the General Use zone district. Additionally, the proposed land use for the property is a utility facility, snowcat access route, and public parking which are permitted by the proposed zone district by conditional use permit. The proposed zone district will allow for adequate light, air, and open spaces and allow for development of public or quasi-public uses harmonious with the neighborhood and community as a whole. g. The extent to which the done district amendment demonstrates horn conditions have changed since the honing designation of the subject proper y avas adopted and is no longer approprzate. Our Analysis: The needs of the community have grown over the last 30 years thus cxeating the need for utilities to keep pace with growth of the area. The proposed rezoning will allow the expansion of the adjacent wastewater treatment facility and the construction of a new drinking water treatment facility. The existing zoning designations are no longer appropriate given the current development of the parcels. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. 13 `~ i i h. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem ap1blicable to the proposed rezoning. Our Anal, sis: None provided. V. Subdivision Criteria 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 Zaning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Plannng 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 subdi~rision 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. Anal The proposed subdivision complies with Title 73 and Title 72 of the Town code. The proposed uses are consistent with the tinning proposed for the site as well and with the existing utility services and light industrial uses in the neighborhood. The proposal will not have adverse impacts on the environment as evidenced in the Enuironmentallnpact Keport submitted with the applications for this site. The proposed parcel sitie is consistent and compatible with the development patterns in the area and with the General Use done district. Development within the proposed parcel will be subject to the Town's design guidelines and standards and thus will promote the aesthetics desired by the Toivn. Defer to the subdivision plat and site development drawings in support of the subdivision application. Eagle River Water & Sanitation District Braun Associates, Inc. 14 ';_~ VI. Land Use Plan/Master Plan Goals Below is a list of goals from the Vail Land Use Plan and Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan that are applicable to the District's project. The proposed development plan, conditional use permits, and rezoning requests are consistent with these goals as the proposal is responding to the needs of the community and is being developed in an area where development is currently located and anticipated by the Vail Land Use Plan. 1. 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. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). G. Community Services 6.1 Ser~rices should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan 5.18 Old Town Shops "The old town shops site has been targeted for a variety of uses throughout the master planning process, including employee housing, expansion of the Vail sanitation plant, and Vail Associates mountain services. These uses maybe appropriate for the site, but they are not compatible. Input from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District suggests that the property will most likely be used for expansion of the sanitation plant and the VA service yard." Eagle River Water & Sanitation District 15 Braun Associates, Inc. ~1 5.17 West Day Lot/ Vail Associates Service Yard/ Holy Cross Site (Excerpt) ".... a snow cat access route to the mountain could be developed through the old town shops site and across the river to the Cascade Ho ski trail."

APPENDIX D 1 Introduction The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (the "District") proposes to expand the Vail wastewater treatment plant and develop of a new raw water treatment plant. These facilities would be located on a parcel of land adjacent to the existing wastewater treatment plant at the intersection of Forest Road and South Frontage Road. The District intends to implement the project in two phases. Phase 1 includes the expansion of the District's physical facilities. New construction would provide the space needed to expand the wastewater treatment plant and install a new drinking water treatment facility (DWF). Installation of DWF equipment and commencement of operations would occur in Phase 2. This Environmental Impact Report follows the report content requirements of Chapter 12 of the Town of Vail Code. Town of Vail sections and sub-sections are referenced in parenthesis in report headings, with minor organizational modifications specific to this project when necessary. 2 General Statement (12-12-5 B) 2.1 Project OwnerlSponsor (12-12-5 B) The Eagle River Water and Sanitation District proposes upgrading their existing Vail wastewater treatment facilities. The project also includes the addition of a drinking water treatment facility and new raw water source. The District provides water and wastewater utilities to approximately 54,400 acres in Eagle County. The towns of Vail, Minturn, and Avon, and the mixed-use developments served by Arrowhead, Beaver Creek, Berry Creek, Eagle-Vail, Edwards, Traer Creek, Holland Creek, Bachelor Gulch (Smith Creek), and Squaw Creek (Cordillera) Metropolitan Districts are included within District boundaries. The District currently manages systems that serve 22,522 water and 22,973 wastewater single-family equivalent units (SFEs). While the District's permanent population is estimated to be approximately 20,000, its population during peak season exceeds 40,500 residents due to the influx of temporary residents for recreation and tourism purposes during the winter and summer seasons. 2.2 Proposed Project Description and Purpose (12-12-5 B) The proposed plant expansion and upgrade would enable the District to serve future development and to provide redundant water supply and treatment facilities and optimize system operations in the Vail Valley. The proposed project includes: Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 2 1. Expansion of the current Vail facility onto an adjacent parcel immediately to the west, which is owned by the District. 2. Upgrade of the current wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to provide additional secondary clarifier capacity. This would supplement the function of the two existing circular secondary clarifiers and provide greater operational flexibility for the activated sludge process. 3. The construction of a new drinking water treatment facility. The source of raw water would be an existing diversion at the confluence of Gore Creek and the Eagle River. The new water source would be connected to the water treatment plant by an existing pumping facility and pipeline currently used for snowmaking at the Vail Mountain ski area. A schematic of the water supply and wastewater treatment system is presented in ~.

Once the design plan, which is currently in a preliminary phase, has been finalized and project costs determined, bonds would be issued. Construction is targeted to begin in the spring of 2004 with a construction period j of an estimated 210 days. Prior to construction an existing structure, the Old Town j Shops building, will be removed from the proposed project site. Demolition of this building is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2003: Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 3 2.4 Project Boundaries (12-12-5 B 1) The current Vail WWTP is a three-story, 50,500 square foot facility located in Eagle County within the corporate limits of the Town of Vail, Colorado, at 846 Forest Road. The proposed project includes the expansion of the District's Vail facilities on their current lot and an adjacent parcel immediately to the west. South Frontage Road runs parallel to I-70 and defines the northern boundary of the existing and proposed facilities. The site is bordered by Forest Road to the east and Gore Creek to the south. To the west of the proposed site there is a gas station and an auto repair garage. 2.5 Present and Proposed Site Uses (12-12-5 B 2) 2.5.1 Physical Facilities Current Facility The District's current facility houses administrative offices as well as the Vail WWTP, and accommodates 29 employees. Current vehicle access to the site is from Forest Road (parking for District employees and the general public and access to the District's administrative offices). The site and a general maintenance area for operations personnel may also be accessed via South Frontage Road. Vehicle parking is located to the east and west of the existing building. The larger, western parking area is built at ground level above the current WWTP. Three fleet vehicles are stored at night and approximately 25 vehicles are parked during the workday. Proposed Facility Expansion The existing facility footprint and the proposed expansion are demarcated in the site plan (Appendix A). The District owns the project site. The Old Town Shops property, which is approximately 0.51 acres, was purchased by the District in 2002. The proposed site presently houses a single 3,930 square foot abandoned structure, the Old Town Shops (Fig. 2), which is scheduled to be demolished by the fall of 2003. Pre-demolition asbestos removal from the building was completed on April 14, 20031. Air monitoring by Boulder Environmental Management found the site to be negative for asbestos content. Lead sampling performed by Boulder Environmental Management on February 14, 2003 found that no building components were toxic for lead. Testing results are on file with the Town of Vail. 1 Asbestos removal was done by American Abatement Inc. of Denver, Colorado. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Figure 2: Old Town Shops building (slated for demolition, facing northwest) Page 4 The site has an estimated 145 feet of frontage along South Frontage Road and is bordered to the south by approximately 180 feet along Gore Creek. The property drops about 12 feet from the Frontage Road and the bank adjacent to the creek is also very steep. The rear of the lot is generally flat (Doty and Associates, 2002). New building construction would extend to the west of District's existing facilities, adding approximately 12,900 square feet to their current 50,500 square feet. The addition and improvement of asphalted areas would also occur along the western and southern boundaries of the property. A parking lot for approximately 60 vehicles, located on the roof of the expanded facility, would be accessed by both South Frontage Road and Forest Road. The proposed building expansion would include space for a new water treatment facility and the addition of two additional secondary clarifiers for the WWTP. Descriptions of the proposed water treatment and wastewater treatment processes are provided in the following sections of this report. Vail Resorts has proposed a bridge across Gore Creek to the southwest of the Districts' facilities with access along the western boundary of the site. This bridge is not apart of this proposal but is included in the site plan (Appendix A) to insure that the District's and Vail Resorts' proposals are compatible. The preliminary site plan for the bridge, prepared by Alpine Engineering, would allow Vail Resorts to bypass residential areas along Forest Road when accessing the ski area from their shop yard on the north side of the South Frontage Road. The new route would take snow cats and other ski area maintenance traffic across Frontage Road, past the District's facilities and across Gore Creek to the ski area. Currently snow cats must drive down Forest Road and through a residential area to access the resort. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report 2.5.2 Wastewater Facilities Current Wastewater Treatment Processes Page 5 The District operates three wastewater plants in the towns of Vail, Avon and Edwards. Wastewater collection within the District is done through a system of collection lines that function primarily by gravity flow with several lift stations. The District's Vail wastewater treatment plant, located in the lower level of their Vail facility, was constructed in 1969 and most recently expanded in 1982. A 2002 facility upgrade increased the facility's Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) loading capacity. The Vail WWTP uses an activated sludge treatment process that consists of influent screening followed by aeration basins that can be operated in series or parallel. Flow from the aeration basins is then conveyed into secondary clarifiers, which in turn discharge into nitrification basins. These basins discharge to ultra violet disinfection facilities before discharging into Gore Creek. Solids resulting from the wastewater treatment process are pumped to the Avon plant for treatment where residual sludge is digested and a Class "A" biosolids produced. The current Vail WWTP hydraulic design capacity is: 2.7 million gallons per day (MGD) maximum 30-day average daily flow 4.2 MGD maximum daily flow 5.4 MGD peak hourly flow. Table 1 shows recent 12-month effluent characteristics for the Vail WWTP. Plant effluent was well within permit limits for all parameters. The Vail WWTP is currently operating effectively and has been consistently meeting all applicable water quality standards.

The project includes additional secondary clarifiers, which would increase plant capacity without changing the processes used at the plant or the quality of the effluent. The point of discharge to Gore Creek is adjacent to the WWTP near the confluence of Red Sandstone Creek and would not be changed under the proposed project. The District believes it would be able to handle the additional loading that will result from redevelopment within the Town of Vail with minimal modifications that ~ include the addition of two secondary clarifiers. The project objectives for the new secondary clarifier project include: Provide additional secondary clarifier capacity to permit future operation of the Vail activated sludge system as a single sludge system for biological nutrient removal. • Improve the operational flexibility associated with the activated sludge system by providing a wide range of operational configurations and loadings with regard to the secondary clarification and return sludge pumping. The new secondary clarifiers would be located in the building expansion to the west and south of the existing clarifiers. The projected hydraulic design capacity for the proposed project is: 3.5 MGD maximum 30-day average daily flow 5.6 MGD maximum daily flow 7.0 MGD peak hourly flow. Once the clarifiers have been constructed, piping, return sludge pumps, scum collection and pumping equipment, and sludge removal equipment would be installed. Operational improvements to the WWTP would also include improved automation and better aeration blower control. 2.5.3 Water Treatment Plant Current Drinking Water Treatment System ~ The District provides water service from East Vail to Dowd Junction through eight j wells located in the Gore Creek alluvial aquifer, one surface treatment 1.0 MGD plant located in East Vail and 57 miles of transmission lines. Four groundwater wells, approximately 100 feet deep, are located in the area around the Vail golf course and can _; ~ produce approximately 7.3 MGD. Three groundwater wells, approximately 60 feet deep, are located in the Matterhorn area of West Vail and can produce approximately 1.0 i MGD. Well water is high quality and requires only the addition of chlorine at the well Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 7 head to meet drinking water standards. A water system interconnection at Dowd Junction is shared with the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority and serves an alternative backup source capable of providing 1.2 MGD. Construction of Water Treatment Plant and Addition of Raw Water Source The District proposes constructing a new 3.0 MGD drinking water treatment facility in conjunction with the District's facility expansion. The purpose of the DWF is to provide increased capacity and to decrease reliance on upstream wells during low flow periods, thereby enhancing stream flows in Gore Creek through the Town of Vail and downstream to the mouth of Gore Creek. Redundancy allows optimization of source utilization and water quality. The system schematic shown in Figure 1 illustrates the manner in which the new facilities would be integrated into the system. Raw water from the confluence of the Eagle River and Gore Creek would be pumped to the new drinking water treatment facility, which would include filtration, disinfection, pumping, and ancillary equipment. Backwash and other wastewater generated by the proposed water treatment plant would be treated at the Vail WWTP, before being discharged to Gore Creek. Potable water would enter the existing domestic water distribution system for the Town of Vail. The proposed project would utilize an existing diversion structure at Dowd Junction (at the confluence of the Eagle River and Gore Creek) to provide an additional source of raw water. Vail Resorts currently owns, operates, and maintains the intake and pump station at Dowd Junction, along with an existing 12-inch raw water pipeline for the purpose of snowmaking. Water diverted from the Eagle River is conveyed through the pipeline, which is buried on the north side of Gore Creek, to a booster pump station on the south bank of Gore Creek across from the District's facilities. This pipeline is used to convey water for snowmaking from November through January. The District would have use of the pipeline during the majority of the year when it is not being used for snowmaking. This existing infrastructure presents an opportunity for the District to reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts that would be associated with the construction of a new intake and pipeline. Phase 1 of the District's proposed project includes building the structure, which would house the future water treatment facility. The actual installation and operation of the DWF would occur within the next few years. Preliminary design calculations and process evaluations, necessary to determine building specifications, were completed by Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The water quality data provided in Table 2 were used to determine the required treatment technologies for the Vail DWF. These preliminary specifications suggest three parameters of particular interest: • Iron and Manganese Removal • Contact Time Requirements • Turbidity Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 8 Several alternative processes were screened for a new 3.0 MGD DWF (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). Two criteria were considered, prior to costing, including site and space requirements and proven operation at similar installations. A cost comparison was then made for alternatives that passed the initial screening. ActiflocTM (a conventional contact clarification process) was recommended as the best water treatment option. This decision was based upon the ability of the Actifloc TM process (see Appendix B) to treat variable raw water turbidity, remove iron and manganese, and provide sustained and competitive life-cycle costs. Recommended process includes the following base components: • Feedwater Flow Meters • Testing of Pre-Ozonation for Iron /Manganese Oxidation • Actifloc TM Process • Air Blowers • Washwater Pumps • Chemical Feed Systems • UV- Primary Disinfection • On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation for Residual Disinfection • Finished Water Booster Pumps • Instrumentation and Control Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were selected for primary disinfection and residual chlorination, respectively. Site constraints require that the proposed DWF be co-located with the WWTP in the new building structure. This is a unique situation because drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities are usually placed at separate locations. To insure that the drinking water and wastewater facilities are isolated from one another, a series of protective measures have been developed (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The Colorado Water Quality Control Division has accepted the co-location of the WWTP and the DWF (see Appendix C) provided the following mitigation steps are implemented: • Piping for raw and finished water will enter the DWF on the west side, away from and above all sewers in the area. • The building containment for the DWF will be isolated by use of dual walls with a space between, and leakage from the space will be collected, detected, and sent to the WWTP. Detection of water in the space between the facilities will cause an alarm and could result in facility shutdown. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 9 • The two facilities will have separate HVAC systems, with the WWTP controlled at a negative air pressure, and the DWF at a positive air pressure. Sensors and motorized dampers will positively control differential pressure. • The fresh air intake for the DWF building will be on the west side, and the exhaust/odor control system for the WWTP will be on the southeast side. • The only entryway going from the WWTP to the DWF will be a sealed door with a positive closer, set into the wall above the maximum flood level of the WWTP, with stairs on both sides. • The WWTP has a positive maximum water level, based on overflow piping that will send water to the interceptor to the Avon WWTP at a specified level. • Facility operators will be certified in both water and wastewater, and will be trained so they fully understand the dangers of contamination. • Anew laboratory area will be installed, which will allow District staff to better control and monitor the quality of their work. 2.6 Present and Proposed Zoning of the Site (12-12-5 B 3) The parcel on which the District's current facility is located is zoned General Use. The recently purchased Old Town Shops parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and Outdoor Recreation. The District proposes to rezone all of this land to General Use. The developments surrounding the proposed project area are commercial, light industrial, municipal and residential. 2.7 Quantitative Information (12-12-5 B 4) Quantitative information regarding the proposed project can be found above in "Present and Proposed Site Uses" and below in the "Environmental Inventory and Impact Type and Analysis" section. 2.8 Applicable Regulations and Permitting (12-12-5 B 5) A summary of regulations/permitting affecting the District's proposed WWTP expansion and new DWF are presented below. The District anticipates that the proposed project would meet all applicable federal, state and local regulations. 1. Town of Vail l.l. Building Permit: A building permit for the proposed project will be required by the Town of Vail. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 10 1.2. Design Review Board Application Approval: Approval by the Town of Vail's Design Review Board will be required for the proposed project. 1.3. Conditional Use Permit: The Planning and Environmental Coirunission must review and approve the Environmental Impact Report for the project to insure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties and the Town of Vail at large. 2.

The mean annual stream flow in Gore Creek at its mouth is 129 cubic feet per second (cfs) for a total discharge averaging 93,790 acre-feet per year. Peak flows during spring runoff can reach 1,850 cfs during the month of June, while the lowest recorded flows are approximately 11 cfs during the months of January and February (U.S. Geological Survey, 2002). As previously described, the water supply for the Town of Vail is diverted primarily from Gore Creek via an alluvial well field located near the confluence of Booth Creek. Water use in Vail consists primarily of commercial and domestic uses, lawn irrigation and golf course irrigation. The water supply for restaurants and other facilities located on Vail Mountain is obtained from wells and Mill Creek. Mill Creek drains the north side of Vail Mountain and is a major tributary of Gore Creek. Water supply for snowmaking on Vail Mountain is taken from Gore Creek (below the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall near the confluence of Red Sandstone Creek) and from the diversion facility located at Dowd Junction. To protect instream flows during low flow conditions, snowmaking diversions from Gore Creek are limited to the amount of effluent being discharged from the WWTP. Total projected water depletions from Gore Creek for the Town of Vail and the Vail Ski Area at full development are expected to reach 2,557 acre-feet per year. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 14 Under existing conditions, surface water runoff and erosion at the project site may impact Gore Creek. The ground surface of the current and proposed sites has been highly modified by~ grading, construction of structures, and paving, resulting in the establishment of an iinperneable surface. Along the southern edge of the Old Town Shops property, there are currently no measures in place to prevent sand, gravel and other debris from falling into the creek (Fig. 4). At the District's current facility, stonnwater runoff is directed through a drain on the southwest part of the property before flowing directly into Gore Creek. Out-falls are inspected twice annually to ensure that they are free of debris. Figure 4: Old Town Shops Property Analysis of Impacts The proposed project includes an additional source of raw water, pumped from Gore Creek and the Eagle River at Down Junction. This new drinking water source k would have a positive impact on Gore Creek stream flows and water quality. Dowd Junction, rather than water from the wells in East Vail could be pumped during low flow months, leaving water in Gore Creek between the well fields and Dowd Junction. The proposed project would not affect the stream channel or raise the level of the 100-year flood plain. Several improvements in stormwater management and erosion control would be made to the site under the proposed project. Following construction plan approval, temporary stormwater and erosion controls would be installed. Appropriate best management practices (BMPs) to reduce the amount of sediment and stormwater transported to Gore Creek would be selected to remain in place until permanent Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 15 stormwater controls are constructed and final project acceptance has been granted. BMPs are designed to: • minimize the amount of disturbed soil, • prevent stormwater runoff, • capture sediment, • provide a buffer zone between the construction site and Gore Creek, • temporarily stabilize soils during construction, and • revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction. Examples of BMPs that would be utilized where applicable are presented in Appendix D. These are examples of both permanent and temporary, as well as structural and non-structural, measures that could be employed during and after construction. After construction, stormwater runoff from the driveway and parking areas would be routed through a drain on the southwest corner of the property. All traffic and parking areas would be asphalted, decreasing the amount of sand and gravel in runoff. 3.1.2 Groundwater Existing Conditions Exploratory drilling at various sites in the Town of Vail has confirmed the presence of groundwater at varying depth throughout the area. At the site of the proposed project, the groundwater table is expected to be closely associated with Gore Creek. Analysis of Impacts During construction it is likely that groundwater would be encountered in areas excavated for construction of the building foundation and pumping would be required to dewater the excavated area. It would be necessary to create a settling basin or sump area to collect groundwater, which would then be pumped into Gore Creek. This would result in some reduction in the elevation of the groundwater table during construction in the area surrounding the site. There are no wells present in the surrounded area that would be affected by a change in the groundwater table. This impact would be temporary because groundwater levels would return to normal following construction. The construction contractor would obtain a discharge permit from the Colorado Water Quality Control Division for construction dewatering and would be required to employ best management practices to meet water quality standards. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report 3.1.3 Water Quality Existing Conditions Page 16 The Colorado Water Quality Control Commission has classified Gore Creek for the following uses: Class 1 cold water aquatic life, domestic water supply, Class 1 recreation and irrigation. The Eagle River from Beldon downstream to the confluence with the Colorado River (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 2002) has the same classified uses as Gore Creek. Water quality samples from the Dowd Junction pump station, which are a mixture of Eagle River and Gore Creek water, were collected between December 2002 and April 2003 (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). The results are presented in Table 3. Iron and manganese levels in the Eagle River are elevated due to the Eagle Mine Superfund site located above Minturn. All other parameters met standards. A single analysis, conducted on April 17, 2003, for Giardia and Cryptosporidium, was negative. Table 3: Dowd Junction Pump Station Sampling Results (Brown and Caldwell, 2003) Results 12/4/02 1/14/03 1/22/03 3/11/03 4/1/03 Iron 0.25 mg/L 0.57 mg/L 0.33 mg/L 0.11 mg/L 0.20 mg/L Manganese 0.069 mg/L 0.20 mg/L 0.17 mg/L .025 mg/L 0.033 mg/L TOC < 1.0 1.3 mg/L <1.0 <1.0 <1.0 Alkalinity 108 mg/L 123 mg/L 100 mg/L 118 mg/L 130 mg/L Hardness 186 mg/L 190 mg/L 162 mg/L 222 mg/L 224 mg/L PH 8.1 8.5 8.0 7.9 7.6 Turbidity 2.16 NTU 1.7 NTU 1.5 NTU 1.9 NTU 1.8 NTU Temperature 4.0°C 4.0°C 4.0°C 4.5°C 7.0°C Though pump station samples for iron and manganese at times exceeded drinking water table value standards of 0.3 mg/L and 0.05 mg/L, respectively, these standards exist for aesthetic purposes and not for health reasons. Anew water supply, or "WS", standard for iron, manganese and sulfate has recently been adopted by the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission (WQCC) to provide greater flexibility regarding these constituents. Except where the WQCC has adopted site specific standards, the least restrictive of the existing quality as of January 1, 2000 or the table value standards, applies to waters with a WS designation. Regarding. the Dowd Junction pump station water, ambient conditions are the least restrictive, and will become the new WS standard, precluding future exceedences. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Analysis of Impacts Page 17 Under the proposed project, the District would continue providing potable water to the Town of Vail that meets all applicable drinking water standards. WWTP effluent standards would be maintained, preserving the water quality of Gore Creek down to the confluence with the Eagle River. Operation of the new raw water treatment facility would result in water quality improvements on Gore Creek. During periods when domestic water is being diverted at the Dowd Junction intake facility, there would be an equivalent reduction in the amount of water being pumped from the East Vail wells. This would result in an increase in stream flows in a 7-mile section of Gore Creek from the vicinity of the Vail Golf Course downstream to the Eagle River. During winter months, when flows in Gore Creek are at their lowest levels, the amount of improvement could be significant. For example, during the month of February, the flow in Gore Creek above the Vail WWTP outfall is typically in the range of 10 to 12 cfs. Operation of the intake facility at Dowd Junction could increase flows in Gore Creek by up to 4.6 cfs. This increase in flow would provide additional dilution capacity to the stream, resulting in a reduction in the concentrations of pollutants from urban runoff and other sources. 3.2 Atmospheric Conditions (12-12-4 A 2) Existing Conditions The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Colorado Department of Health, Air Quality Control Division have established air quality standards to protect public health and the environment. The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) adopted by EPA and the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission are presented in Table 4. Table 4: National Ambient Air Quality Standards Pollutant Averaging Time Concentration Carbon Monoxide 1 hour* 35 ppm (40 mg/m3) 8 hour* 9 ppm (10 mg/m3) Fine Particulate Matter Annual arithmetic mean 15 µg/m3 (PMs.s) ** 24 hour* 65 µg/m3 Respirable Particulate Matter Annual arithmetic mean 50 µg/m3 (PM10) 24 hour* 150 µg/m3 * Concentration not to be exceeded more than one time per year in averaging time. ** The PM 2.5 standard is included for information only. A 1999 federal court ruling blocked implementation of this standard, which EPA proposed in 1997. (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/naagsfin/) Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 18 Carbon monoxide and particulate matter are two out of six principal pollutants, or criteria pollutants. Areas which violate the NAAQS for one or more of the six criteria pollutants2 are classified by EPA as non-attainment areas. According to the most recent USA Air Quality Non-attainment Areas list (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2003), Eagle County is neither included in the Non-Attainment Area for carbon monoxide nor in the Non-Attainment Area for particulate matter. According to the EPA National Emission Trends (NET) database3, which includes pollutants' levels at county monitoring stations, particulate matter in Eagle County is currently below the NAAQS. The District's current WWTP processes minimize odors and emissions from the Vail plant. Additionally, the District pumps solids from the Vail WWTP to their Avon plant for treatment, greatly diminishing the potential for odors. Negative pressure is maintained in the Vail WWTP to prevent air from escaping. A series of fans and ducts conveys air away from the wastewater treatment area. Ozone is then injected into the ductwork, effectively neutralizing odors. Analysis of Impacts For purposes of this proposed project, air pollutants of concern would be carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from fuel combustion in motor vehicles, and respirable particulate matter (PMIO) or fugitive dust from construction activities and wind erosion from disturbed areas. Atmospheric impacts would be minimized, in part, through the implementation of erosion control methods as listed under the "Hydrologic `' Conditions" section above. In addition, PMIO and fugitive dust from construction activities and wind erosion from disturbed areas would be minimal as all access roads are L ~ paved. Sprayed water would be applied to unpaved transportation areas during construction. Post-construction, the proposed project would result in no changes in odors or emissions and the odor control system would be upgraded with the addition of new equipment. 3.3 Geologic Conditions (12-12-4 A 3) Exisfing Conditions The Town of Vail is situated in a structural trough that stretches from Vail Pass to McCoy in north central Eagle County. Elevations in the vicinity of Vail range from 7,726 feet at Dowd Junction to approximately 13,230 feet along the Gore Range. The bedrock underlying all of Vail Mountain and the adjacent Gore Creek Valley is the Minturn Formation of the Pennsylvanian age. The formation is primarily sedimentary 2 The six criteria pollutants are: Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide, Ozone, Lead, Particulate matter, and Sulfur dioxide. 3 The NET database replaces the former AIRS database. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 19 rock consisting of interfingering lenticular beds of sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate, within which laterally persistent limestone and dolomite marker beds occur. Soils throughout the area are formed from these sedimentary materials with a predominance of medium and coarse grained, poorly sorted sands. During the quaternary period, several large valley glaciers were present within the Gore Creek Valley which gouged out the lower valley floor, forming steep cliffs. Oversteepening of the lower valley wall and deepening of the valley itself removed upslope support for large sections of formational bedrock which dipped towards the valley axis. Eventually, large bedrock dip-slope landslides began to occur as glacial ice, temporarily buttressing the dipping bedrock masses, melted away (Vail Resorts, Inc., 1986). The geology surrounding the District's treatment facility includes modified land- surface deposits. Landscaping has extensively modified the land surface in the Town of Vail. Artificial fill deposits are present both south and north of I-70 and throughout the I- 70 corridor. Specific information regarding the soil types found in the vicinity of the proposed project can be found under the "Soil Types" section above. The current streambank along the southern edge of the project site (Figs. 3 and 4) is extremely steep with sparse grass and willow cover. A 2003 geotechnical study by HP Geotech (HP Geotech, 2003) of the site found no indications of significant slope movement along the streambank. Analysis of Impacts The 2003 geotechnical report referenced above suggests that project excavation would provide an opportunity to reconstruct the embankment with structural material and boulders or mechanically stabilized earth (MSE). If the embankment is not excavated, the report recommends that bank stability be evaluated during construction. The streambank, which is on Town of Vail property, would not be changed by the proposed project. 3.4 Biotic Conditions (12-12-4 A 4) 3.4.1 Vegetation Existing Conditions Vegetation is limited primarily to noxious weeds in the area surrounding the existing and proposed site because much of the site is paved and gravel surfaces. Sparse grass and willows are located along the steep stream bank bordering Gore Creek and the District's facilities (Figs. 3 and 4). Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Analysis of Impacts Page 20 Under the proposed project, site vegetation would be unproved in conjunction with landscaping. Vegetation to the south of Gore Creek, primarily coniferous forest, would not be disturbed by the proposed project. 3.4.2 Threatened, Endangered, Proposed, and Candidate Species Existing Conditions The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service federally listed and candidate species list (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2003) was used to determine the threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species that occur or may occur in Eagle County. Table 5 provides a list of species and their status in Eagle County. Table 5: Threatened, Endangered, Proposed and Candidate Species in Eagle County S ecies Threatened Endan ered Pro osed Candidate Bald ea le, Haliaeetus leucoce halus X Gunnison sage-grouse, Centrocercus minimus X Yellow-billed cuckoo, Coccyzus americanus X Black-footed ferret, Mustela ni i es X Canada 1 nx, L nx canadensis X Bon ail, Gila ele ans X Colorado pikeminnow, Ptychocheilus Lucius X Hum back Chub, Gila c ha X Razorback sucker, X rauchen texanus X Uncompahgre fritillary butterfly, Boloria acrocnema X Boreal toad, Bu o boreas boreas X There is no suitable habitat for any of these species at the site. Analysis of Impacts The project site is within the hunting range of the bald eagle. The boreal toad can be found in the Gore Creek drainage running through the Vail Golf Course, upstream from the proposed project. The project is not expected to impact any of these species, as the site does not contain suitable habitat for any of the species listed in Table 4. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 21 3.4.3 Stream Ecosystem and Riparian Habitat Existing Conditions Water quality throughout the Gore Creek drainage is generally high, although there is some degradation from nonpoint sources of pollution including runoff from I-70 and urbanized areas. In the vicinity of the proposed project, the stream has been channelized to accommodate the Forest Road Bridge to the east, buildings and parking lot to the north, and the bike path to the south (Fig. 3). The bike path bridge crosses the stream at the site of the existing WWTP. The stream has a very steep, sloped bank and riprap shoreline with sparse willows. There is a gas station located immediately north of Gore Creek to the west of the proposed project. A drop structure and pump station for Vail snowmaking is located across from the proposed project on the southern bank of Gore Creek. The lower reach of Gore Creek, extending from Forest Road Bridge downstream approximately 4 miles to the Eagle River, has been designated as a Gold Medal Fishery by Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW). DOW classifies those streams with at least 40 pounds of trout and 12 fish over 14 inches in length per surface acre as Gold Medal trout streams. A 2000 fish survey, by the DOW found 45 trout over 14 inches per acre in Gore Creek just below the WWTP and 73 trout over 14 inches per acre in the reach immediately above the Eagle River confluence (Colorado Division of Wildlife, 2000). This section of Gore Creek has a good distribution of pool and riffle habitat with cover for fish provided by large boulders and overhanging shoreline vegetation. The Gold Medal reach of Gore Creek provides opportunities to catch large trout and is an important recreational resource for the Town of Vail and Eagle County. The Vail WWTP discharges directly into Gore Creek just above the confluence of Red Sandstone Creek. Plant effluent complies with all discharge regulations and provides an important source of nutrients in the Gold Medal reach. At one time copper in effluent waters, originating in one of the District's source wells and from corrosion of pipes, was a concern. Fish are very sensitive to dissolved copper at low concentrations and the wastewater treatment plant does not remove copper. The impact on human health was not an issue because concentrations were well below drinking water standards. The District addressed the elevated copper concentrations by adding corrosion inhibitors and a sequestering agent to Vail's drinking water and by minimizing the use of the one well known to be a source of copper. These methods have proven effective in maintaining copper concentrations within waste load limits and below aquatic life standards and would not change under the proposed project. Analysis of Impacts During the construction phase of the proposed project, best management practices would be used for soil stabilization, erosion prevention, and protection of the riparian area adjacent to the construction site (see "Hydrologic Conditions" and "Geologic Conditions" above). Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 22 Post-construction erosion control BMP's would be implemented to prevent sand and other debris from the parking areas and driveways from entering the creek. These improvements would be beneficial to the water quality in Gore Creek and would reduce the risk of contamination entering the creek from the project site. Use of the Dowd Junction intake as a source of raw water would enhance Gore Creek streamflows due to wells in East Vail being operated less frequently. 3.5 Other Environmental Conditions (12-12-4 A 5) 3.5.1 Petroleum Contamination Existing Conditions The site of the proposed project is adjacent to a gasoline retail and automotive repair garage: An environmental assessment (Doty and Associates, 2002) of the parcel on which the proposed facility expansion would occur found that there was evidence of subsurface petroleum contamination. This contamination is believed to have originated from the gasoline and automotive station. Extensive remediation efforts have been made, including a soil vapor extraction/air sparge system that operates on a portion of the site adjacent to the western boundary of ,. the proposed project. Remediation efforts have effectively reduced groundwater concentrations of standard gasoline compounds (benzene, toluene, ethybenzene and total xylenes). Benzene remains detectable in one well on the project site at a concentration of 0.97 µg/L, which is significantly less than the Colorado groundwater standard of 5.0 µg/L (Doty and Associates, 2002). The environmental report suggests that there maybe residual soil contamination on the property, at depths of 10 to 18 feet below the existing ~_:l ground. Chevron (which owned the adjacent gasoline retail facility until 1989) began a groundwater study in May of 2003 to further characterize and monitor possible contaminants. Analysis of Impacts On the proposed project site, soil samples will be collected during the demolition of the Old Town Shops building to determine if residual soil contamination exists. In the event that the results of these tests determine remedial action is necessary, the District will comply with all federal, state and local regulations regarding soil removal and disposal, and dewatering during construction. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 23 3.6 Visual Conditions (12-12-4 A 6) Existing Conditions The site of the proposed facility expansion is currently occupied by the abandoned and rundown Old Town Shops building and is used for parking. Under existing conditions, the building and the site have not been maintained and the visual appearance of the site is degraded (Fig. 2) and not consistent with the surrounding area. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, there is no barrier along the edge of the parking area above Gore Creek. Gravel and debris from the parking area has accumulated on the embankment above Gore Creek and prevented the. establishment of adequate vegetation to prevent erosion. This area is quite degraded from the more natural appearance of Gore Creek in many other areas and is highly visible from the bike path. Analysis of Impacts Under the proposed project visual conditions of the site would be greatly unproved. The Old Town Shops building will be removed and replaced by a new building and landscaping that meet the requirements of the Vail Design Review Board and Town of Vail Code. 3.7 Land Use Conditions (12-12-4 A 7) Existing Conditions The District's current facility is zoned General Use. The Old Town Shops parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 and Outdoor Recreation. Surrounding areas have recreational, mixed commercial and industrial uses. The bike trail crosses and runs along the southern bank of Gore Creek in the vicinity of the WWTP. The Vail Shop Yard is located across the South Frontage Road and a gas station and an auto repair garage is to the west. Town of Vail open space is located on both sides of Gore Creek to the east of Forest Road. Analysis of Impacts Under the proposed project there would be no changes in land uses to the site and surrounding areas. The District proposes to rezone all of the proposed project parcels to General Use. 3.8 Circulation and Transportation Conditions (12-12-4 A 8) Existing Conditions Currently the District's facility houses their administrative offices and the Vail wastewater plant and accommodates 29 employees. Administrative offices are accessed Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Enviromnental Impact Report Page 24 from Forest Road. Deliveries and operational staff access the facility via the South Frontage Road. Analysis of Impacts The District's administrative offices would continue to be accessed from Forest Road. The South Frontage Road entrance would be improved to provide access to the new building and rooftop parking. Deliveries would continue to be via South Frontage Road. The District does not anticipate an increased frequency of deliveries of supplies, though quantities may increase. During construction there would be an increase in traffic due to construction vehicles and crews at the site. The District anticipates hiring one additional DWF operations staff member under the proposed project, which would result in a minimal J increase in site traffic. 3.9 Populations Characteristics (12-12-4 A 9) Existing Conditions There are no residential units at or adjacent to the site of the proposed project. Analysis of Impacts No changes in the population characteristics of the site or surrounding areas are anticipated under the proposed project. 4 Summary (12-12-4 B) 4.1 Unavoidable Adverse Effects The potential adverse effects of the proposed project would be temporary .~:., construction impacts and associated nuisance factors. Adverse construction related effects would include increased traffic, dust, noise, vehicle emissions and sedimentation ' ~ from storm events. 4.2 Proposed Mitigation Measures Best management practices would be utilized to ~niniinize adverse impacts during construction. BMPs would be designed to: reduce noise and traffic, minimize dust, attenuate stormwater runoff, capture sediment, provide a buffer zone between the construction site and Gore Creek, temporarily stabilize soils during construction, and revegetate and permanently stabilize soils post-construction. Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 25 The main access for construction traffic to the site would be from South Frontage Road. This will require an access permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). CDOT will require that the contractor develop a traffic management plan to insure safety and to minimize delays and inconvenience to local traffic. In addition the hours of construction may be limited by the Town of Vail to limit noise and construction traffic. 4.3 Possible Alternatives The proposed site location was selected for a variety of reasons. The District's Vail wastewater collection system has been designed and built around their current WWTP facility. The cost and technical complications that would be associated with developing a second WWTP on a different site would be prohibitive. There are very few available building sites in the Town of Vail and the disused Old Town Shops parcel was available and is conveniently adjacent to the District's WWTP. The proposed DWF would take advantage of existing infrastructure associated with the Dowd Junction snowmaking intake and pipeline to convey-water to the project site. An analysis of alternative drinking water treatment technologies was completed by Brown and Caldwell (Brown and Caldwell, 2003). Iron and manganese concentrations, contact time requirements and turbidity, as well as site constraints, were the primary factors that were used in evaluating alternatives. The ActiflocTM treatment process and ultraviolet disinfection and on-site sodium hypochlorite generation were selected. Alternative processes that were evaluated are presented in Table 6. Table 6: Alternative Treatment and Disinfection Processes for the Vail DWF (Brown and Caldwell, 2003) Potential Drinking Water Treatment Processes Conventional Treatment- Gravity Filtration Conventional Treatment- Pressure Filtration Conventional Treatment-Contact Clarification (e.g., ACTIFLOC T"') Conventional Treatment Adsorptive Clarification (e.g., TRIDENT TM) Slow Sand Filtration Membrane Filtration Potential Drinking Water Disinfection Processes Gaseous Chlorine Bulk Sodium Hypochlorite On-site Sodium Hypochlorite Chlorine Dioxide Ozonation Ultraviolet Disinfection Vail Water and Wastewater Facilities Environmental Impact Report Page 26 -, 4.4 Short and Long Term Uses of the Environment Construction activities would result in the short term impacts and nuisance factors described under "Unavoidable Adverse Effects" above. The result would be an improved water supply and wastewater facility that would be operated in a manner that enhances and protects instream flows through the Town of Vail and the Gold Medal reach of Gore Creek, providing a long term benefit to the aquatic environment. In addition, the proposed project would increase the reliability and flexibility of the water supply and wastewater systems that serve the Town of Vail 4.5 Irreversible Environmental Changes Irreversible environmental changes at the project site and in surrounding areas have already occurred. As described in this report, the proposed project would result in improvements at the site and to WWTP and DWF operations, providing a benefit to the Town of Vail and to Gore Creek. 4.6 Growth Inducing Impacts The District's Vail facility upgrade and expansion has been proposed in response to planned growth in the Town of Vail. The project is designed to address increases in demand for water and wastewater services that will be generated by the planned Lionshead redevelopment and other proposed projects. This development will include a five-star luxury hotel, a convention center, riverfront townhomes and more than 400 additional "hot beds", 50,000 square feet of retail space, and a small number of single family home sites (Town of Vail, 2003). The proposed project is in response to growth and would not be growth inducing. 5 References Brown and Caldwell, 2003. Vail Drinking Water Facility Engineering Evaluation.

A SIMPLE SYSTEM FOR DIFFICULT WATERS s E~ k ~~: _ -a. r -~, ~ a~~ ~~y _ t - r i _ .. - . ~~~ The pre-engineered Actifloc system consistently delivers high-quality drinking water. The plant is designed to treat surface water with high color, high TOC or high turbidity - up to 1,000 NTU, with spikes up to 3>000 NTU. Engineered for agility, the system offers quick chemical optimization and instantaneous start-up and shut-down. It is especially suited for the following applications: • Highly turbid water • High color and/or high TOC • High algae levels • Cold water • Flashy waters with rapidly fluctuating raw water sources • Facilities with space restrictions that demand a small footprint • Plants that frequently start up and shut down, requiring quick optimization to reach steady-state s,-. } ~ - -~~ ~;t AN INNOVATIVE COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGIES HIGH PERFORMANCE THAT'S HIGHLY EFFICIENT The Actifloc treatment process combines the Actiflo® clarification process and the Microfloc Mixed Media filter, which is supported by the new SCUBA block underdrain. Actiflo: A proven clarification. tech- nology, the Actiflo process uses a microsand ballast that functions as a seed, enhancing floc formation and settling. Raw water enters the coagulation tank, where chemical coagulant and efficient mixing are used to destabilize suspended solids and colloidal matter. Polymer and microsand are added in the injection tank. The treatment continues as the water flows to the maturation tank, where conditions are ideal for the formation of polymer "bridges" between the microsand, floc and destabilized suspended solids. The fully ballasted floc settle out rapidly in the settling tank and are removed from The Actifloc plant offers a stable system with a compact footprint and reduced chemical use. Typical overflow rates as high as 30 gpm/ftz allow system footprints to be much smaller than conventional systems of similar capacity. The intense mixing and microsand contact reduce the the treated water. Water then passes through lamellar settling tubes and onto the filtration stage. High microsand solids loading stabilizes the process when the flow rate, turbidity or temperature fluctuates rapidly. Detention time is very short and the response to changes in chemical dosage is very rapid (10-15 minutes), allowing the process to reach a steady operational state in less than 30 minutes. Mixed Media: Developed by Microfloc, Mixed Media filtration is extremely effective on tough-to-treat waters. Even under extreme spike loading, the combination of Mixed Media filtration and Actiflo clarification allows the Actifloc system to resist break through by Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia and provides a consistent high quality effluent. use of chemicals, allowing significant (typically 20-50%) chemical savings compared to other clarification processes. Actifloc is available in modular tank designs with capacities of 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 MGD.

The process selection will be based on a combination of experience in similar work, references on past work, resources available to perform the work, ability to bond the work, the approach to the project, and construction cost. The process for selection of the general contractor for the work consists of a prequalification process and a proposal process. Prequalification Process The prequalification process provides for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) which requires all interested contractors to provide the following information: • Experience: Interested contractors must identify and briefly describe projects the firm completed that are similar to the Vail Village Streetscape Improvements 2004-2005. References: For each project identified in Experience above, the contractor must include the approximate construction cost, person in responsible charge of the work, and completion date. The contractor must identify the owner, owner's representative, and current address and phone of each project. The contractor is also asked to identify the architect /engineer, project manager, and current address and phone number for each of the projects. Resources: The contractor must identify potential project managers for the work, including their resumes and availability. The contractor is asked to identify which disciplines the firm will provide and what disciplines will be subcontracted for the project. The contractor is asked to describe the methods that would be employed on the project to control quality during the construction of this project. Also, the contractor is asked to describe the methods that would be employed on this project to control schedule and cost. • Bonding: Interested contractors are required to provide documentation from the bonding company of the contractor's ability to bond this project. The submittal of the information above by interested contractors will be reviewed by Town Staff. Staff will identify those interested contractors that meet the prequalification requirements and recommend a list of prequalified contractors (short list) to the Council Streetscape Design Committee. Prequalification will be based on the experience, references, resources, and bonding ability. Once the list is identified, prequalified contractors will be notified of their prequalification and be invited to participate in the Proposal Process. Construction proposals will only be accepted from contractors selected through this prequalification process. Contractors who do not meet the prequalification process will be notified. Selection Process for General Contractors Vail Village Streetscape Improvements 20042005 Page 1 of 3 Proposal Process The selection of the contractor will be based upon cost, community impact and the approach_ to- the- project. The proposal process wilt include interactivity with the prequalified contractors throughout the selection process. Prequalified contractors will be provided the 95% construction documents in early December to give them a head start . on developing an approach to the project. Apre-advertisement conference will be held in mid December to discuss the project intent and the specific construction administration requirements. Once the construction documents are complete in early January, the contractors will be provided the plans and specifications from which to develop a proposal. The proposal will be due by the end of January and will include the construction cost bid and a detailed approach to the work. The proposal is to include the following items: • Proposed method for replacing and relocating utilities with minimal disruption to businesses and residents. • Proposed method for maintaining business and residence access. Proposed method for maintaining pedestrian access and safety. • Proposed method for handling loading and delivery. • Proposed work schedule. • Proposed quality control program. • Any proposed alternative construction means and methods. • Proposed construction cost. The award process will combine the proposal into three weighted categories and score them accordingly: Proposed Construction Costs 60% Community Impact/ Work Plan 20% Alternative Means and Methods 15% Past Work and References 5% Proposals will be reviewed by Town Staff and oral interviews will be conducted with the contractors submitting proposals. The Council Streetscape Design Committee will be an integral part of the interview process and final selection of the contractor. It is intended to use the proposed construction cost as a component of selection, but not the only selection criteria. A selection will be made and a contract will be negotiated with the contractor by the end of February with the intent of authorizing a notice to proceed in early March. A recommendation of award will be made to the Town Council and the Council will authorize the Notice to Proceed. Work will be scheduled to commence the day following ski lift closing in accordance with the construction documents.

This is an exciting time in the Town of Vail's history. The amount of both private and public reinvestment planned over the next 5 years will position Vail for the future and truly set Vail apart for many years to come. The Town of Vail is taking the lead on one of the first projects, the Vail Village Streetscape improvements. In order to create the quality and ambiance necessary to improve Vail Village, it is important to construct streetscape improvements from building face to building face, including both public and private property. The Town of Vail is close to completion on the design of the improvements for the Vail Village Streetscape and will be ready to begin construction in the spring of 2004. One critical step remains: the financing of pivate property improvements. The town has committed to the improvements within the public right-of-way and has budgeted $6 million in the next two year capital budget. The cost of streetscape improvements on private property is $800,000. The town has had discussions with many of the building owners and building representatives in the Vail Village and plans to meet with all affected individuals. In these discussions we are asking each building to participate in the cost of the private streetscape improvements in the Village and to have the streetscape improvements constructed jointly with the construction of the public streetscape improvements. The majority of property owners have consented in theory to participate. The purpose of this correspondence is to identify the cost associated with streetscape improvements on your property and to formalize an agreement between you and the town. Voluntary participation from 100 percent of the buildings in Vail Village is required for this project to move forward to construction this coming spring. The town has continued an extensive public participation and input process on this project. Agreement with the need to complete this project continues to be very high from the businesses and residents. And while business owners and residents are concerned over the impacts of construction, most are eager to have these improvements completed. The town has committed to close day-to-day coordination with business owners and residents during the construction to minimize as much of the impact as possible. In order for the town to proceed to construction in the spring of 2004, we are requesting you sign this letter acknowledging your agreement to pay the amount indicated below. We_need your response-na later than January 15, 2004. If aH the buildings are in agreement with voluntary participation, the town will invoice each building. In addition a license agreement must be signed. A sample copy is enclosed. The license agreement would grant the town the right to construct the improvements and provide an agreement for the town to maintain the improvements, operate the snowmelt system, and recover these operation and maintenance costs. The payment of the invoice and signed license agreement will need to be returned by March 1, 2004. The cost to your private property for the private streetscape improvements and snowmelt system is $00,000.00. The cost for operation and maintenance for the improvements and snowmelt system on your property is $000.00 per year. INSERT ANY APPLICABLE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS WHICH REDUCE THE ASSESSED COST SUCH AS CREDIT FOR PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT, CREDIT FOR RECENT STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, OR CREDIT FOR AREAS WHICH ARE OUTSIDE PROJECT LIMITS. The cost for the pivate improvements on your property was derived in the most equitable means the town could conceive. The overall cost of all private property improvements, including design, construction, and project management, is spread among the constructed private property streetscape improvement area(square footage). The cost per square foot generated, $91.00, is multiplied by the constructed streetscape square footage of your property. The actual square footage of your property improvements is determined by measuring the improved area of your property between the building face and the right-of--way line. The operation and maintenance cost of the improvements and snowmelt system on your property is generated in the same way as the improvements cost.

Those categories/rankings are as follow: 1. RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN OF VAIL - 1st priority 2. TOWN OF VAIL BUSINESS LICENSE HOLDERS (the business must be physically located within Vail and locally operated) - 1st priority PROPOSAL: Use of "high season" dates entitle resident/business licensee to lowest fee per rate sheet (see attached). Access to facility during week days is at the hard core rate of $200 + deposit, if necessary (estimated $100 set up/tear down/cleaning fee per use and $100 prorated utilities). 3. STAFF-SPONSORED GOVERNMENTAL GATHERING - 1st priority Examples: - Elections, both coordinated election with Eagle County and joint Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERW&SD) and Vail Recreation District (VRD), Spring '04 - Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) regional commissioner's meeting - Colorado Municipal League (CML) - Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) - VRD - Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability (Environmental Films) 4. NON-PROFITS LOCATED INVAIL -1st priority Examples: - Vail Mountain Schoo! (VMS) - Children's Garden of Learning - Vail Symposium - Ski Club Vail (SCV) - Vail Junior Hockey - Vail Chamber and Business Association (VCBA) - Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau (WCTB) - Friends of the Dance - Vail Jazz Foundation L~~ RECYCLEDPAPER 7M 5. NON-PROFITS FUNDED BY THE VAIL TOWN COUNCIL - 1st priority Examples: - Vail Jazz Foundation - Vail Valley Foundation (WF) - Bravo! - Resource Center 6. "LOCAL" SCHOOLS -1st priority - Red Sandstone Elementary School (RSES) - Battle Mountain High School (considered Vail's local high school) - Minturn Middle School (considered Vail's local middle school) 7. GENERAL COMMUNITY USE/SERVICE GROUPS - 1st priority Examples: - Rotary - "Meet the Candidates" for Vail elections (regardless of sponsor) PROPOSAL: The above categories would access the facility for a basic "hard core" cost of $200 + deposit (if necessary). $200 is composed of estimated average cleaning/set up/tear down of $100/use and $100/day prorated utilities charge. Further, "free use" weekly is proposed for Monday at noon through 4:00 P.M. Wednesday (with the exclusion of nationally designated "high season" holidays). Nominal cleaning will be provided/absorbed by the town (to average between $75- 300/week, based on use). 8. NON-PROFITS LOCATED OUTSIDE VAIL BUT PROVIDING SERVICES/BENEFIT TO VAIL - 2nd tier Examples: - Youth Foundation - Meet the Wilderness - Gore Range Natural Science School - SOS - Literacy Project - Food Resource Center - Salvation Army - Humane Society - Vail Valley Board of Realtors - Eagle Valley Community Fund - Habitat for Humanity - United Way - Vail Valley Community Fund PROPOSAL: Based on time of year, high or low season, 50% of established rate + hard costs of $200/use. BASIC TENETS: 1. If it's a fund raiser, at a minimum the town's hard costs must be covered, e.g., cleaning/set up/tear down + pro-rated utilities. 2. If an entity already has space available (e.g., Vail Interfaith Chapel), free/discounted fee will not be considered. r 3. The pavilion cannot be used for every occasion. It is not best used by small groups so those groups will be encouraged to use the small conference room at the municipal building, Community Development's conference rooms, Public Works conference rooms, the Community Room at the Library, the Council Chambers, etc. The management team for the Pavilion, Laurie Asmussen and Cindy Clement, will also attend Tuesday's work session to provide some "real life" examples for questions you may have.

The process selection will be based on a combination of experience in similar work, references on past work, resources available to perform the work, ability to bond the work, the approach to the project, and construction cost. The process for selection of the general contractor for the work consists of a prequalification process and a proposal process. Prequalification Process The prequalification process provides for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) which requires all interested contractors to provide the following information: • Experience: Interested contractors must identify and briefly describe projects the firm completed that are similar to the Vail Village Streetscape Improvements 2004-2005. References: For each project identified in Experience above, the contractor must include the approximate construction cost, person in responsible charge of the work, and completion date. The contractor. must identify the owner, owner's representative, and current address and phone of each project. The contractor is also asked to identify the architect /engineer, project manager, and current address and phone number for each of the projects. Resources: The contractor must identify potential project managers for the work, including their resumes and availability. The contractor is asked to identify which disciplines the firm will provide and what disciplines will be subcontracted for the project. The contractor is asked to describe the methods that would be employed on the project to control quality during the construction of this project. Also, the contractor is asked to describe the methods that would be employed on this project to control schedule and cost. • Bonding: Interested contractors are required to provide documentation from the bonding company of the contractor's ability to bond this project. The submittal of the information above by interested contractors will be reviewed by Town Staff. Staff will identify those interested contractors that meet the prequalification requirements and recommend a list of prequalified contractors (short list) to the Council Streetscape Design Committee. Prequalification will be based on the experience, references, resources, and bonding ability. Once the list is identified, prequalified contractors will be notified of their prequalification and be invited to participate in the Proposal Process. Construction proposals will only be accepted from contractors selected through this prequalification process. Contractors who do not meet the prequalification process will be notified. Selection Process for General Contractors Vail Village Streetscape Improvements 2004-2005 Page 1 of 3 Proposal Process The selection of the contractor will be based upon cost, community impact and the approach _to the- project. -The proposal process will include interactivity with the prequalified contractors throughout the selection process. Prequalified contractors will be provided the 95% construction documents in early December to give them a head start . on developing an approach to the project. Apre-advertisement conference will be held in mid December to discuss the project intent and the specific construction administration requirements.

November 25, 2003 Mr. Property Owner Vail Village address Vail, CO 81657 (INSERT INDIVIDUAL OWNER NAME AND ADDRESS) RE: Vail Village Streetscape Project Dear Mr. or Mrs. Owner: The Vail renaissance is about to begin. This is an exciting time in the Town of Vail's history. The amount of both private and public reinvestment planned over the next 5 years will position Vail for the future and truly set Vail apart for many years to come. The Town of Vail is taking the lead on one of the first projects, the Vail Village Streetscape improvements. In order to create the quality and ambiance necessary to improve Vail Village, it is important to construct streetscape improvements from building face to building face, including both public and private property. The Town of Vail is close to completion on the design of the improvements for the Vail Village Streetscape and will be ready to begin construction in the spring of 2004. One critical step remains: the financing of pivate property improvements. The town has committed to the improvements within the public right-of-way and has budgeted $6 million in the next two year capital budget. The cost of streetscape improvements on private property is $800,000. The town has had discussions with many of the building owners and building representatives in the Vail Village and plans to meet with all affected individuals. In these discussions we are asking each building to participate in the cost of the private streetscape improvements in the Village and to have the streetscape improvements constructed jointly with the construction of the public streetscape improvements. The majority of property owners have consented in theory to participate. The purpose of this correspondence is to identify the cost associated with streetscape improvements on your property and to formalize an agreement between you and the town. Voluntary participation from 100 percent of the buildings in Vail Village is required for this project to move forward to construction this coming spring. The town has continued an extensive public participation and input process on this project. Agreement with the need to complete this project continues to be very high from the businesses and residents. And while business owners and residents are concerned over the impacts of construction, most are eager to have these improvements completed. The town has committed to close day-to-day coordination with business owners and residents during the construction to minimize as much of the impact as possible. In order for the town to proceed to construction in the spring of 2004, we are requesting you sign this letter acknowledging your agreement to pay the amount indicated below. We needyouur xesponse no-later than January 15, 2004. If aH the buildings are in agreement with voluntary participation, the town will invoice each building. In addition a license agreement must be signed. A sample copy is enclosed. The license agreement would grant the town the right to construct the improvements and provide an agreement for the town to maintain the improvements, operate the snowmelt system, and recover these operation and maintenance costs. The payment of the invoice and signed license agreement will need to be returned by March 1, 2004. The cost to your private property for the private streetscape improvements and snowmelt system is $00,000.00. The cost for operation and maintenance for the improvements and snowmelt system on your property is $000.00 per year. INSERT ANYAPPLICABLE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS WHICH REDUCE THE ASSESSED COST SUCH AS CREDIT FOR PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENT, CREDIT FOR RECENT STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS, OR CREDIT FOR AREAS WHICH ARE OUTSIDE PROJECT LIMITS. The cost for the pivate improvements on your property was derived in the most equitable means the town could conceive. The overall cost of atl private property improvements, including design, construction, and project management,. is spread among the constructed private property streetscape improvement area square footage). The cost per square foot generated, $91.00, is multiplied by the constructed streetscape square footage of your property. The actual square footage of your property improvements is determined by measuring the improved area of your property between the building face and the right-of-way line. The operation and maintenance cost of the improvements and snowmelt system on your property is generated in the same way as the improvements cost. The following map illustrates the portion of your property to be improved and included. INSERT AUTOCAD MAP HERE. There will be an additional charge of $XXX from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District for reconnection/repair of the private water and sewer service lines which serve your property. The district's recovery for cost of these improvements will be handled through your utility bill If your records indicate that property line locations are different than are shown on the above map or if you would like additional information, please contact Greg Hall, Director of Public Works and Transportation at (970) 479-2160 as soon as possible. Signature of Agreement By signing below and returning a copy of this letter to the Town of Vail by January 15,2004, you are indicating your agreement with the dollar amounts stated above and are agreeing to return payment when invoiced to the Town of Vail by March 1, 2004. An invoice and license agreement will follow receipt of your signed letter. This may need to be beefed up with Maft's input with regards to who they represent, what amout they agree to with (heir signature etc. Print Name Address Signature The Town Council and staff are always available to discuss the project and answer any questions you may have. We are willing to attend any board meetings necessary to further explain the project and the project financing. Following are the phone numbers and email addresses for those individuals.
