In the 2004 Work Plan, Town Council committed to the formation of a Capital Committee, which would focus on the long term capital requirements of the TOV. Town staff suggests this be done in phases, beginning with a joint effort between the Town Council and the VRD. Kent Logan and Diana Donovan are presently the Council appointed representatives to the VRD. A series of meetings are proposed to be conducted between by the TOV and VRD subcommittee, the Town Manager, the VRD Director, and staff members from each organization. This work will focus on: ^ Current agreements between TOV and VRD, ^ Future of the Bubble, Red Sandstone Indoor Facility ^ Operation of Dobson and the golf course, ^ Regional recreation strategic plan that identifies capital needs, and roles of responsibility. The Committee will subsequently report separately to the Town Council and the VRD. This will ultimately culminate in a joint meeting between the Town Council and the VRD Board of Directors. Upon completion of this effort, approximately three months, town staff will develop a process to evaluate other capital needs in the TOV. 4.

Vail Mountain Operations and Marketing have both approved the March 26, '05 date. There are no other events currently scheduled for that weekend. VRI has informed the WMCF, the US National Disabled Skiers Association is considering the same date but has not made a decision. VRI believes if they do choose the same date it will not be an issue since this event is scheduled for Golden Peak.

General Public Meeting On April 13, 2004 a meeting was held with the East Meadow Drive merchants and property owners. The meeting was arranged by Rick Scalpello and was well attended. There were 5 members of council present. Following is the list of those who signed in on the attendance sheets. Katie Barnes VVTCB Eva Pobjecka Pisho Gallery Paul and Sharon Treacy Kidsport Suzanne Silverthorn TOV Karen Jacobson Digits AV Tezla Tezla Lingerie Laura Gentry To Catch a Cook Rick Scalpello Business Association Sally Hanlon Village Inn Plaza Rod Slifer Slifer, Smith, and Frampton and TOV Bob Oppenheimer Crossroads Management Bob Walsh Vail Gear Robby Robinson Robinson Mitchell and Assoc Jim Thompson Bag and Pack Elizabeth and Steve Virion LaBottega Paul and Lourdes Ferzacca LaTour - Dan Berry Eye Pieces Robert Aikens Verbatim Booksellers Andrew Karow Alpine Bank Dick Cleveland TOV Jonathon Staufer Staufer Commercial Wendy Jo Sasso sp?

Weitz Construction VVI/Daymer Corp VVI/Daymer Corp Sunland silver Gallery Alpenrose Several topics relative to Meadow Drive were discussed. Mike Foster and Dan Meeks of the Sonnenalp design/construction team make a presentation regarding the construction schedule and staging. Leonard Sandoval with the town of Vail made a presentation regarding other construction projects scheduled within the area. Todd Oppenheimer presented the general overall design of the street between Vail Road and Willow Bridge Road. Following are notes taken by Diana Donovan during the meeting. • Streetscape Fa11 2005 - 2006. • Swiss Chalet hotel rooms to condo. Also number of units reduced? • Swiss Chalet - 2004 -Thanksgiving 2006 done. • Sorinenalp -Spring 2005 - 2006 Or 2007. 147 parking spaces (155 max). • Addendum to Streetscape Master Plan with no public process of actual East Meadow plan. • East Meadow bus route? Should it go around and come back down Village Center permanently? • Road is a combination of pavers and asphalt. • South side is heated -what about the north side? • Water feature is not original, should be located in sunny area. • "Public venue plaza" is sterile • Balance open spaces with tall landscape or it becomes very sterile. • Second arch or 3 or more and where? Is "Bavarian" correct? • Sign posts should also go with arch(s). • North side improvements stopping at Hagen Daz now. • Village Center must be included -wants to be included now. • East Meadow Dr. should be all tied together -continuity. • Water feature in sunny pocket or plaza -staff discouraging breaking up plaza (intersection of Willow Bridge Road and E meadow Dr.) • Snowmelt- majority want snowmelt and majority will contribute. Concern about being treated equally with Bridge Street. • Enforcement of construction timelines and dates. People need specific answers regarding impacts on them. • Final patio lights required but no final design for public lights to match - LaBottega • Keep public areas clean and manage impacts -make it clean where pedestrians walk. • Who is contact for questions/concerns during construction? • Does Farmers Market really need to move? • (regarding Swiss Chalet construction) Jersey barrier vs. fence? Fence behind barrier will hide construction. Could fence have an art element? Construction traffic down Village Center Road to Swiss Chalet "plaza". 7 am start -noise impacts. VVI construction documents in June -approved building permit in August or September. Demo late fall. Complete winter 2006. Keep open for summer -keep access to businesses. Follow-Up Meetings On April 15 and 16, 2004 I was able to meet with the following people regarding the design and/or master plan for East Meadow Drive. The meetings were one-on-one or a small group and were about an hour in length. Rayla Kundroff Marty Stewart Luc Meyer Robb Swimm Rick Scalpello Paul and Sharon Treacy Eva Pobjecka Dan Barry Paul and Lourdes Ferracca Jonathon Staufer Wendy Jo Sasso sp? Steve and Liz Virias Master's Gallery Sunland Silver Gallery Property Owner/Left Bank Restaurant Scotch on the Rockies Meadow Drive Business Association Kidsport Pismo Gallery Eye Pieces LaTour Restaurant Grappa Liquors Staufer Commercial LaBottega Restaurant Following is compilation of comments and questions received during those meetings. • Look at reconfiguring Vail Road -Meadow Dr intersection to improve turning movements for buses and eliminate need for flaggers. • Trees should be limbed up to about 10' to not block views of windows from street and/or bus windows. • Large aspen tree at LaBottega deck is messy and attract a lot of bees. Would like to remove it when deck is rebuilt if allowed by DRB. • Can LaBottega install some temporary lights to light the deck until a new deck plan can be designed and constructed? (temporary lights were installed without approval last year and the owners were made to remove them) • The 2 large spruce trees by Grappa Liquors and the Mountain Dog shop should not be removed. A "park-like" sitting area should be constructed beneath them which can also be the bus stop. (this comment was heard several times) • Flower pots and/or low flower beds are acceptable in some locations. They should not block access to windows. Needs to be considered on a case by case basis. • The trees in front of Masters Gallery should be retained and there was a desire to have some landscape lighting there as well. • The gallery would like to continue placing art pieces in the landscape area and would like to retain the bench in front of the store. We will look for some sort of porous pavement options. • An irrigation system would benefit the trees and should include spigots for watering flower pots and washing the walkways. • Masters Gallery carries a lot of large art pieces and ships in and out twice a week. Will there be a place for the delivery vehicle to park out of the way of the buses? • The plaza area between Sunland Silver and Annie's is an important space. It should be opened up by removing the existing planters and relocating the art pieces to the peripheral areas. It should remain wide open. The desire for a water feature was mixed but if one was installed it should disappear into the pavement. Plumbing has been roughed-in for a water feature already. There should be lots of benches to take advantage of the sun. (Note- a large portion of this area is private property and it was pointed out that the cost would be borne by the property owners. I did offer to assist with the design but stated the town could not pay for construction) • Can the town help set up a joint meeting between village in Plaza associations to discuss the design of the plaza area. (I will call the property manager Steve Stafford sp?) • Snowmelt on the entire street was desired by most .(some felt it was the number one priority) but not everyone. It was felt that with snowmelt on the south side (by Sonnenalp Developer) the north side businesses would suffer and shoppers would follow the snowmelted path into the village instead of lingering on Meadow Drive. Those (2 people) not in favor of snowmelt were concerned with the loss of the winter feeling and loss of winter jobs for some seasonal workers. • The directory signs for Village Inn Plaza condos need to be replaced and relocated. • How will loading ad delivery be handled while the street is under construction? • How far east does the snowmelt along the Sonnenalp continue? (I will need to look into this one) • Willow Bridge Road between the Sonnenalp and International Bridge should be designed for construction at this time. • The "arches or gateways" received mixed comments. Some liked the preliminary design which was presented, some thought it was to Parisian or Art Noveau. Some thought there should be an arch at Vail Road, Slifer Plaza, and Willow Bridge Road other thought some other element (like sign or light posts) should be repeated throughout the area for continuity. (currently the plan includes the Village light fixture at regular intervals with accommodations for hanging flower baskets and/or banners) A suggestion was made by one person for suspended lights instead of archways but others disagreed that it was to much like Lobo. • The intersection of Meadow Drive and Willow Bridge Road should be left open for a special events venue. • Art features in the pavement are desired. • Village Center shop owners will approach property owner (Fred Hibberd) about making improvements to the property. • Connect snowmelt across Willow Bridge Road to Village Center -concern that pedestrians will follow heated pavers around toward Village and not cross the road. • Loading and idling vehicles in this area is problem -noise and smell to residential units above Village Center Shops. What is the long term plan for loading in this area? • Willow Bridge Road is desirable as a third location for special events banners as well as a gateway into Meadow Drive business area. • . A small performance venue in front of LaTour is desired. Remove spruce trees which block views. • The section of Meadow Drive along the Austria House needs additional lighting - it is very dark (we may have lost a light in this area somewhere along the way) • Improvements to the Transportation Center hillside are desired - a park like setting similar to the center stairs with an accessible path way was suggested. • Add a sidewalk along the north side of the road. • A gateway arch is desired at the west edge of Slifer Plaza to encourage pedestrians to turn up Meadow Drive. • Move the transformer and spruce trees in front of the restaurant -they block the view from the bottom of the TRC steps. Written comments The following written comments and questions were received from Rick Scalpello on April 15, 2004. • Bold statements at both ends of meadow drive: Vail Road and Austria Haus and smaller one on Willow Bridge Rd: prefer an arch design. • Performance stage at crossroads and smaller ones at VIP and Village Center • Additional water features? • Fire pits and both ends and in the middle at Crossroads & Village Center for warmth and visual attractiveness. • Design should extend to International Bridge and include and include a major event banner like Village and Lionshead. • What's the lamp post design? Where will they be? How far apart? Need electric receptacles at al lightposts with adequate power for special events and Farmer's Market • Need places to display info signs and small banners to promote events • Need holders at bus stops to distribute our Meadow Drive maps • How is Talisman traffic going to be managed? Where is their parking access? • Lots of country flags and banners. Locations should be marked on design • Spots. for delivery parking? If yes, where will they be located? • Want benches and trash receptacles at every bus stop. How many benches will there be between bus stops and where will they be? Need better lighting at all bus stops: Where will the bus stops be located in the new design? • .How will the car/truck traffic be kept out? What will you do when that doesn't work • Will there be any utility work this summer? Nothing will be scheduled between late June and Labor Day, right? • Will the roadways be wide enough for Farmer's Market tents and emergency vehicles? Will the turning radius at Meadow Drive & Vail Road eliminate the need for traffic control for buses? • Nice to have one design for all business directories: Should have Meadow Drive map holders and good lighting • A large holiday tree for lighting • Where/what is the focal point in the redesigned Meadow Drive? E.g. Children's Fountain • Need to design the whole road now so everything ties together and nothing is left out of the first section. If it's designed in pieces, it will look like it was designed in pieces. There can be a cutout for crossroads but the rest can be done now. Implementation can be done in pieces, but it doesn't make sense to wait for crossroads before proceeding. No construction planned for Village Center or Austria Haus.
