The VLMDAC qualifications state: "All applicants must be "owners of property within the boundaries of the district," which includes by definition corporations or entities which own property "within the boundaries of the district." Should an entity be appointed to this advisory council, it would then be up to that entity to appoint its designee. Additionally, owners of "taxable personal property" will be considered for appointment." I have consulted with Matt Mire, Town Attorney; and since Scott was appointed by the Town Council on December 21, 2004, his absence constitutes a vacancy on the advisory council. Staff is requesting the Town Council interview the following four applicants that have submitted letters of interest and appoint one person to fill the vacancy on the VLMDAC. This appointment will complete the term vacated, which runs through December, 2006. Douglas Brooks Scott Fulton Chris Romer Jack Waller Thank you for your consideration of this matter. 75 South Frontage Road .

As a ten year Vail Valley resident, and Senior Vice President in Marketing and Sales with Charter Sports, I believe my background and experience will be beneficial to the Council in working to improve our local business environment. Last year, I served on the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau Boazd of Directors. This experience enabled me to work with the Board on priorities and strategic goals for 2005. This included developing regional marketing programs, expanding traffic to Internet booking engines, increasing the number of group visitors to the Valley, and attending meetings on the development of the Conference Center. I am currently serving as Vice President of the Avon Business Association working with local businesses to enhance the economic vitality of the Avon Business Community.

We voiced our concerns over charging for Avon transportation when the Avon Town Council wanted to implement a faze structure and changed their opinions through community feedback. This year we are developing a website for the Avon Business Association to establish a business friendly resource of information and website links for visitors and Avon business owners. I believe we are faced with an exciting and challenging future in regard to the renovations planned for Vail over the next five years. In order to secure our # 1 status as a ski resort and increase guest awareness of Vail as an incredible summer destination, we need an organized effort from the business community to attract and maintain visitors and groups alike.

Chris previously worked for me at both Lion Square Lodge and The Charter at Beaver Creek and I believe he would be a fantastic fit on this council. His enthusiasm and professionalism would be a great benefit to the organization. Chris is passionate about Vail and believes in the future of the community. have previously served on the Vail Valley Summer Marketing board (as the Beaver Creek member in the old days), I regularly attend the current meetings and I feel this council has a very important role to spend the LMD funds carefully and to positively impact our community. The addition of a member of the hotel sales & marketing community would be another advantage of choosing Chris Romer to serve on the council. He would help provide a balanced viewpoint of all entities (retail, town, lodging, etc.) along with the current members. I believe it is important to replace Scott Gubrud's vacancy with a community member with a similar background in hotel sales & marketing.

Sincerely, Laurie Mullen `' Director of Marketing The Resort Company Managers of Lion Square Lodge, Montaneros & The Charter February O5, 2005 Subject: Letter of Recommendation for Chris Romer. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing a letter of recommendation on behalf of Chris Romer, Marketing Director for Destination Resorts in Vail. I have had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly three years as part of my duties as the Sales Manager for Specialty Sports Ventures (Vail Sports), so I'm confident in my support and knowledge in Chris' capabilities and background. The lodging industry in Vail & Beaver Creek is a competitive one that requires subtle sales strategies and a commitment to service and integrity. Destination Resorts is a key player in Lionshead Village among many established hotels. The success of our retail business in Lionshead is a direct reflection of hotel occupancy and is thus something we watch very closely. Destination Resorts is consistently busy throughout the year, which is a direct testament to Chris' ability to chase business during the shoulder seasons through many different strategies. When asked of characteristics defining Chris as an individual, terms come to mind such as ethical, forthcoming, solution-oriented, mature, and driven. He would be an excellent addition to the Town of Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council. During the shoulder seasons, it is well known that cash flow in Vail declines in direct proportion to the number of visitors, and Chris would be an excellent leader in promoting off-season business. This position in the VLMDAC is a crucial one that requires a driven person with strong sales background and a fresh perspective on chasing business in an otherwise sleepy time period. Chris would be an excellent addition to the team and should be a serious contender, and I have the utmost confidence in his abilities and I am giving him a full recommendation to the VLMDAC. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Chairman of the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation President, Rotary Intematlonal MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 15, 2005 SUBJECT": Potential Lionshead Master Plan Amendments Planner: Russell Forrest PURPOSE: Vail Resorts is planning on moving forward with the development of the Core Site in Lionshead in 2005: With this development, Vail Resorts will need to move forward with the redevelopment of the North Day Lot to replace offices displaced in the gondola building and employee housing displaced in the Sunbird Lodge. In addition, the development of the core site requires the Town to complete its planning for public improvements (i.e. roads, streetscape, transit) in Lionshead. The proposed use of the North Day Lot from Vail Resorts includes: • Transit center including regional buses, hotel shuttle vans, skier drop-off; • Employee housing projected at 150 beds; and • Offices for Vail Resorts mountain operations The Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan identifies the North Day Lot as a critical site for a transit center. The purpose of the transit center is to alleviate multiple circulation conflicts between the Lionshead parking structure and the Lionshead retail area, accommodate projected increases in regional transit use, and to provide an additional access point into the Lionshead. mall. Vail Resorts is willing to entertain an agreement with the Town of Vail to redevelop the Timber Ridge housing project and thus fulfill their housing obligations for Lionshead. This interest is connected to addressing the transit center goals in a variety of different locations. The purpose of this worksession is to review the implications and opportunities for revising the proposed. transit and circulation recommendations in the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan. These proposed changes are interconnected with the ultimate use of the North Day Lot. Staff would like to review these options with the Town Council and if acceptable, have one to two public meetings to review these options with the public. This could then lead to an amendment to the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan in the future. c II. MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED TO LIONSHEAD MASTER REDEVELOPMENT PLAN: Before finalizing the master plan for the Vail Conference Center which staff is proposing would be an amendment to the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan, two critical issues need to be reviewed with the Town Council. First, if an alternative site to the North Day Lot is acceptable for regional buses, then an agreement may be possible between the Town and Vail Resorts to redevelop Timber Ridge. Vail Resorts is only interested in discussing a housing partnership if diesel buses can be moved to an alternative location (other than the North Day Lot). Therefore the second issue to consider is various options for locating a transit center in Lionshead based on the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan. A third issue, which the Town Council has already discussed on December 21, 2004, is additional public parking. Staff wanted to remind Council of this additional issue and the interest in creating a new employee parking structure at the Vail Resorts maintenance facility. 1. Housing A. The issue: Vail Resorts is required to replace 100 beds lost through the demolition of the Sunbird Lodge. Furthermore, Vail Resorts has the following condition on the approval of the Core Site Hotel: The Developer shall address the following conditions of approval prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) for any of the Lionshead Core Site Hotel improvements: 1) That the Developer provides deed-restricted employee housing that complies witl~ the Town of Vail Employee Housing requirements (Chapter 12-13) for a minimum of 20 employees, and that said restrictions shall be made available for occupancy. In addition, the deed-restrictions shall be legally executed by the Developer and duly recorded with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder's Office._ To comply with this requirement in addition to other housing requirements that may be applied for the development of the North Day Lot and the West Day Lot, Vail Resorts was proposing to create an employee housing project above a transit center on the North Day Lot. The top floor of this development would include offices for mountain operations that will be displaced when the gondola is demolished. Vail Resorts will allow the Town to build a transit center on the first floor as per the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan. The Town must pay for the additional incremental expense of the transit facility which may be $9-$10 ~\ million. B. The Opportunity: Vail Resorts has offered to take their investment in employee housing and help redevelop Timber Ridge. In fact, Vail Resorts committed to working with the Town through the Core.Site Development Improvement Agreement to see if an agreement could be developed for Timber Ridge. This could provide the opportunity to better redevelop Timber Ridge and allow a lodging product to be developed on the North Day Lot. Furthermore, Vail Resorts has indicated that they would locate a Hotel shuttle drop-off and skier drop-off on North Day Lot at no expense to the Town depending on design criteria formulated by the Town of Vail. 2. Transit Center A. The Issue: The reason why a transit center is proposed in the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan is primarily to alleviate circulation conflicts between the Lionshead parking structure and the retail mall of Lionshead. The conflicts between the following modes of traffic exist: • Pedestrians crossing from the Lionshead parking structure • In-Town Bus • Loading and delivery for the Lionshead retail area • Hotel shuttle buses • Skier drop off (cars) In addition the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan anticipates an increase in regional bus traffic and a need to relocate charter buses when the civic center/charter bus lot is developed. B. The Proposed Solution: The Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan proposes to create a multi-modal transit facility on the North Day Lot. As envisioned in the Master Plan, this site would accommodate the following modes of transportation: • Regional and TOV (West Vail) buses • Charter -buses • Skier drop-off • Hotel shuttles • Loading and delivery I,Y ~ Traffic engineers still agree that purely from atransit/circulation standpoint that the North Day Lot is the best location in Lionshead when compared to the existing Concert Hall Plaza/Lionshead Plaza bus stop and relocating a bus stop on the Lionshead parking structure. However the following difficulties grid challenges exist with the North Day Lot: • The Town of Vail has inadequate funding now to commit to a $9-$10 million transit facility on the lot and Vail Resorts is now prepared to move forw~~rd with the redevelopment of the lot. • Federal grant dollars may be available in 2007 for a transit facility. However, this funding ($15 million requested) can be reduced. In any case, it is not available in 2005. • There is significant adjacent property owner opposition to a transit facility with diesel buses on the. North Day Lot. • There is the opportunity for the Town of Vail and Vail Resorts to cooperatively redevelop Timber Ridge if diesel buses are not located on the North Day Lot. Vail Resorts will move forward with a 15G bed employee housing project on the North Day Lot if the Town elects to locate a transit facility with buses on the site. After meeting with Town traffic consultants, URS Engineering, and Vail Resorts on several occasions, the following proposed direction is recommended: 1. Locate loading and delivery under the. Vail Square/ArraBelle - development. This will be built by Vail Resorts as per the .approved plans for the Vail Square/ArraBelle development at no expense to the Town. 2. During specific times of the day allow Charter Buses to utilize a portion of the 8 bay loading and delivery facility under the new Vail Square/ArraBelle building. This will allow for improved skier operations by bringing guests up an elevator to obtain lift passes and meet ski instructors within the same building. In addition, Vail Resorts and the Town could investigate using the Vail Front Door loading and delivery facility for additional charter buses loading and unloading. 3. Locate hotel shuttle (non-diE:sel vans only) and skier drop- off (private vehicles only) on the North Day Lot. 4. Maintain the regional and West Vail bus stop at Concert Hall Plaza/Lionshead Plaza for the next two to three years. 5. Develop an RFP for the redevelopment of the Lionshead parking structure in 2006 or 2007 to include a transit facility t\ for regional and Town of Vail .buses. 6. If an appropriate developer is not found, it has been concluded by URS that a transit facility could be located in between the Lionshead parking structure and the Lionshead mall (Option 4 in Attachment A). This idea would include creating a new stair and elevator tower east of the current annex building (Where Subway and the youth center are. located). This would allow pedestrians to cross East of a transit zone and bring transit as close as possible to the gondola. This configuration would most likely displace the annex building. The attached URS report (Attachment A) reviews 4 basic options for locating a transit center in Lionshead. The traffic consultants evaluated pros and cons for each option. Purely from a transit standpoint the preferred alternative is the North Day Lot. When staff adds additional criteria such a cost, timing of available funds, adjacent property input, we would recommend option 4 of creating a bus stop/transit center at the East Lionshead Circle turn around. We would recommend that this not occur until the North Day Lot and Core Site are available for use for the above mentioned transit and loading and delivery uses and options have been explored in redeveloping the Lionshead parking .structure. 3. Parking A. The Issue: The master plan for the Vail Conference Center evaluates the appropriate number of cars for the conference center and whether additional parking for the general public should be located at this site. The Town of Vail and Vail Resorts have generally agreed that the Town needs approximately 400 additional public parking spaces to help ensure that the number of days, cars parked on the Frontage Road is less than 15 per ski season. The Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan identified the opportunity to locate 400 additional parking spaces on top of the existing Lionshead parking structure. The Vail Conference Center based on work from HVS (Conference Center Business Plan consultant) and FHU (Town's transportation consultant) is estimated to need an additional 125 parking spaces. This would allow the center to have a conference for 700 people even during a peak ski day without creating additional days of parking on the Frontage Road. B. The Proposed Solution: Staff, with the assistance of URS, FHU, and Fentress Bradburn, evaluated various options for locating parking under the conference center and how to locate a new entrance on the existing parking `~~_ structure. Furthermore, the parking consultants for the conference center were asked to find a solution that did not create circulation conflicts on the. Frontage Road and would either maintain or improve the level of service in the existing parking structure. It was determined that 325 parking spaces could be developed underneath the conference center at approximately $30,000 a space. The cost per space of putting parking below the conference center is similar to the cost of putting parking over the existing parking structure given the structure and code improvements that will need to occur if the existing parking structure is modified significantly. The 320 parking spaces would provide the following opportunities: • 125 spaces for the conference center o Replace 70 parking spaces displaced when a new North entrance is created on the existing Lionshead parking structure. o And provide an additional 130 spaces for the public. • All together this would provide 255 (125 net new parking spaces for the conference center + 130 for additional public parking = 255 spaces) net new parking spaces for the Lionshead parking structure. Vail Resorts has verbally committed to pay the full $4.3 million the company has committed for public parking to create 325 parking spaces underneath the conference center. In doing this, it is recognized that the 125 parking spaces associated with the conference center are available on most peak ski days when hotel availability is limited and the probability of a large day time conference event is small. Vail Resorts further recommended, that the Town and the company work together to develop a funding source for creating a new parking structure on the Vail Resorts/Holy Cross maintenance facility site as a second phase to addressing the public parking challenge. Preliminary design work has indicated that a four level 400 space, abovE: grade, parking structure could be created on the current site which providc;s surface parking for Vail Resorts employees. In developing this parking, it would be understood that approximately 200 of the 400 spaces would be for Vail Resorts employees and the other 200 spaces would be for other employees working in the Town of Vail. There are currently 200 spaces in the Holy Cross Lot. Between creating 255 net new parking spaces underneath the conference center and 200 new employee parking spaces at the Holy Cross Lot, it is felt that parking on the Frontage Road could be reduced to less than 15 days per ski season. In addition, this proposed plan would not preclude the redevelopment of the Lionshead parking structure. On December 21, 2005 the Vail Town Council expressed interest in pursuing the above mentioned parking scenario for Lionshead. ,6 III. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL: Staff would appreciate Town Council input on the following issues: 1. Should the Town further pursue a housing agreement between the redevelopment of Timber Ridge and Vail Resorts interest in providing employee housing. 2. Are the above mentioned transit and circulation recommendations acceptable to further discuss in public meetings. Attachment A: URS Report on Transit Options t A Report on the Recommendation of a Preferred Site for the Vail Transit Center Prepared for: The Town of Va i I Prepared by: Nate Larson, PE, PTOE URS Corporation On Behalf of: Fentress Bradburn Architects February 7, 2005 This brief report has been prepared at the request of Town of Vail staff to evaluate four site options for regional transit transfer activities. This report has the following three parts: 1. Evaluation Criteria 2. Pro/Con analysis of the four sites 3. Conclusions The current transit center is not considered large enough to accommodate the desired functions, which include but are not limited to the following: • Bays for up to five buses and five hotel shuttle vans atone time • Warming enclosure for passengers and drivers • Restroom facilities • Visual display of system route and schedule information The consideration of a new location is driven by fact that the existing site is not large enough to accommodate these desired functions, which are considered vital to the future success of multimodal transportation to, from, and within the Town of Vail. If a new location is selected, all transit center functions currently occurring at the existing site will be transferred to the new transit center when it opens.. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING TRANSIT OPTIONS The following criteria. were developed by the Vail Civic Center consultant team to facilitate the Pro/Con analysis of each site, and are presented in no particular order: 1. Capacity to meet program targets (5 buses, 5 shuttle vans) 2. Adequate space for vehicle circulation and maneuvering within the center 3. Traffic impacts on Frontage Road 4. Impact on access /egress at Lionshead parking structure ~ 5. Safe pedestrian movement within transit center & from there to Lionshead Mall (proximity. to pedestrian destinations) Vail Transit Center Site Selection Report 1 6. Potential for future expansion of transit center 7. Provides space for waiting area, restrooms, etc. (+/- 600 sf?) 8. Balances pedestrian flow into Lionshead Mall (east vs. west) 9. Possibility of combining with Information Center? 10. Convenient access for buses from Town of Vail and regional bus routes (and I-70) 11. Visibility from highway and Frontage Road 12. Ease of rider transfer to in-town shuttles 13. Safe distance between entry to transit center and any roadway intersection (150'?) 14. Cost 15. Separation from Village Transit Center These criteria were considered starting points for discussion, and not all of them were eventually used in the Pro/Con analysis. No scoring or weighting mechanisms were used in this analysis. The Pro/Con analysis for the first tlu•ee sites was conducted in a workshop setting on September 29, 2004 by consultant team members Mike Winters (Fentress Bradburn), Nathan Kibler-Silengo (Fentress Bradburn), Nate Larson (URS), and Sherry Dorward, Landscape Architect. OPTION 1: CONCERT HALL PLAZA The Concert Hall Plaza site is the location of the existing transit_transfer facility. It is located on West Lionshead Circle south of Frontage Road (see Figure 1)'. !

LIONSHEAD CIRCLE TURNAROUND The E. Lionshead Circle turnaround site is located across E. Lionshead Circle from the southwest corner of the Lionshead parking structure, at the entrance to the Lionshead Mall. This option would include the removal of the Youth Services facility and existing retail space adjacent to the parking structure (currently occupied by Subway) and reconfiguration of the parking structure's pedestrian access (see Figure 5). PROS • Supports efforts to make East Lionshead Circle a more prominent entry into Lionshead (which could include enhanced signing and/or monuments) • Shortest distance to mountain minimizes skier/mountain employee walking distance • Directs pedestrian traffic from parking structure away from bus loading areas • Displaces current unregulated dropoff and delivery area • Does not require route modification for in-town shuttle • Able to accommodate currently-projected transit and hotel slnrttle needs easily Vail Transit Center Site Selection Report g a ~ - --- I - - ~- - - - - _ - - - -- _--- -__ .. -- - Y ~....-.._~ I' ._, ~- ~ ~ ~ __. -_ _, - ~, j ~- - --- _ - ___ - __ _ __ -- Fs- ~ - - -- --- ~.~._ - ___ i I' ill y Ii1 r~ `" -- -- - A - -- I , '--' _ - - - ----- - - .,~ r ~\ ~1 _ l I'.-. -- - - ICI ~--~-'1 l-'""_'~ Figure 5.

Concert Hall Plaza is an inappropriate site unless cost is the only criterion 2. North Day Lot has the most advantages and least disadvantages 3. Lionshead is best Town -controlled property 4. Should not, in any scenario, build transit center on the existing Lionshead structure in Phase 1 (can only be temporary) 5. A Transit Center in the redeveloped Lionshead Parking Structure would be the most cost effective option, but has the least certainty 6. The Lionshead Turnaround site has some merit as a potential site 7. North Day Lot is the best overall transit center location As a result of the analysis documented iri this report, the consulting team recommends the Town consider the North Day Lot site the preferred site foi• a new transit center. The E. Lionshead Circle turnaround site would also have sufficient advantages to warrant consideration, and the Lionshead parking structure options should be considered viable. ,s..y ~ Vail Transit Center Site Selection Report 10 AN UPDATE ON VAIL'S BILLION DOLLAR RENEWAL February 15, 2005 Suzanne Silverthorn, Town of VaiF Paul Witt, Vail Resorts Development Company The Wait is Over. The Future is Now, This spring, Vail Resorts will break ground on the Arrabelle at Vail Square, following more than a decade of planning and anticipation. This redevelopment is arguably the most significant project in Vail since LionsHead was originally built and its ongoing progress will be of particular interest to the media, future tenants of the development, surrounding property owners -- even our competitors. Construction of the Arrabelle will join four other major redevelopment projects that have already begun: Vail Mountain Lodge, Tivoli Lodge, One Willow Bridge Road and Vail Plaza Club. Also during April, expansion of the Sonnenalp will begin as well as the exterior renovation of Montanerous. At the same time, the Town of Vail will facilitate ongoing Vail Village streetscape work on Upper Bridge Street, Hanson Ranch Road and Gore Creek Drive from Mill Creek to the Children's Fountain. A second streetscape project will include utility upgrades along East Meadow Drive from the Annie's storefront to Village Center Chute. During the fall., two additional projects will be added to the mix: Four Seasons and Manor Vail. Construction on private property will continue year-round. streetscape improvements will be phased to occur during the spring and fall seasons to minimize impacts during the busy summer and winter seasons. Challenges 8 Opportunities Vail's billion dollar renewal represents an opportunity to reinforce our position as a resort industry leader. It also requires creative and collaborative partnerships to help drive lodging, retail and restaurant spending during the critical redevelopment construction periods of 2005-2007. Together; we will set the tone for a positive outlook that will cause locals to take pride and ownership in Vail's revitalization. In so doing, we will create the best experience possible for visitors and a level of curiosity that will generate return visits, positive word of mouth and positive media attention. Together, we will manage these important messages. Key Messages Town of Vail • We have an exciting story to tell. An infusion of more than a billion dollars is being invested in Vail over the next few years. It's an unprecedented effort to make the guest experience better than ever and to maintain our ranking as the No. 1 ski resort in North America. • There's no better time than now to come visit Vail to see what`s happening and to enjoy all that Vail has to offer. • What's especially exciting about Vail's Billion Dollar renewal is seeing it as it unfolds. Already, there's a new snowmelt system in place for portions of Vail Village, a newly rebuilt public plaza near the Vista Bahn, the new LionsHead skier bridge and the nearly completed Tivoli Lodge. These projects are a hint of what's to come and are already being enjoyed by our winter guests. • While we talk about the "New Vail," this is also a time to celebrate the things we already cherish that make Vail such a special place. The small town charm. The natural beauty. The architecture. The recreational and cultural amenities. The free bus system. More open space than any other mountain resort community. And, of course, the best mountain bar-none! 'These are the kinds of qualities that will stand the test of time for generations to come... and that's ~vhy Vail will always be a special place. • Throughout the billion dollar renewal, we'll be working to roll out the red carpet to welcome our guests and to show off our progress. We've received accolades from the business community for facilitating one of the most successful construction mitigation programs around and will continue to do so in the future. This includes working strategically to schedule construction in the pedestrian areas during the spring and fall seasons to minimize impacts during the busy summer and winter seasons. Vail Resorts • LionsHead is undergoing a transformation that will make it a vibrant, exciting, fun place to be. • It is "business as usual" for mountain operations and the local nstail, dining and lodging establishments during construction. • The construction is, in fact, a reason to come to LionsHead -lots of exciting things happening, Kidstruction Zone, get a glimpse of the future. • Vail Resorts and the Town of Vail are committed to working with area businesses and homeowners to facilitate information and make the construction period as least impactfut as possible.

The Ford Park Management Plan herein presented is to serve as an amendment to the 1985 Master Plan for Gerald R. Ford Park. The Ford Park Management Plan contains eight sections. Sections 1 - 4 introduce the plan: An executive summary, a history and time line of Ford Park, a description of the management plan process, and a statement of purpose of the management plan. Section 5 is the heart of the management plan: a set of six management goals with accompanying objectives, action steps, and policy statements to provide a framework for future management decisions. Section 6 contains illustrative, conceptual plans and written descriptions which support the various action steps. A 5- Yeaz Capital Improvements Program for Ford Park is presented in Section 7. Section 8 is an appendix containing copies of pertinent legislative and legal documents. Section 1: Executive Summary. The property which is today Gerald R. Ford Park was acquired by the town in 1973 in response to public reaction against a high density residential development proposal. The 39 acre park site represented the last remaining pazcel of land central to use by all residents and visitors of the Vail Community. The Vail Plan (1973) described the site as a major community park -cultural center that would satisfy the town=s growing recreational and cultural needs. ~; • ~ Development of the lower portion of the park was directed by the Gerald R. •' . , . Ford/Donovan Pazk Master Plan.(1985). Strong publ_ic,pazticipation led to the, ~:... .. establishment of guidelines for the implementation of future improvements. Upper area improvements, softball fields, tennis courts, and pazking areas, were constnicted without the benefit of preplanning and subsequently created some barriers to the lower bench, ;. _ ~ ... -~..~ : natural areas, and Natu_*e Center: ..~ . ... . -,~...;. , . ~~ r<.. ~. ,,, ... . ,.., ,, . . . T. The Vail Village Master Plan (1990) recommended the pazk be considered as a site for ' ~ additional skier parking to serve expansion` on the eastern side `of Vail 1Vlountain. ' Italso' ' ` '~' ` recommended the construction of bike/pedestrian ways along the South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. There are currently four main organizations involved in the operation of Ford Park. The Town of Vail, Vail Recreation District, Alpine Garden Foundation, and the Vail Valley Foundation alt play distinct roles and manage separate portions of the park. The Tawn of Vail is the owner of the pazk and manages the community pazk, stream tract, and pazking lot areas. The other three organizations each hold a lease or license agreement to operate their respective facilities and programs within the pazk. A proposal by the Alpine Garden Foundation to construct an educational center within the garden area was a significant impetus to the creation of this document. However, several other formal and informal development expansion proposals and numerous unresolved •~ ~ ~ pazk management issues existed: This plan is intended to create ~a means to evaluate ~ ~'~ development proposals in order to protect and enhance the character of the park. This plan is a direct product of strong public participation in focus groups and public input sessions. One clear, concise message was conveyed to the town staff from the public participants: AYour role is steward to the park; don=t screw it up by over development.@ To that end, this plan, serving as an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, is intended to guide the outcome of future development and improvement proposals through the implementation of six major goals. 1. Preservation and protection 2. Reduction of vehicular intrusions 3. Reduction of conflicts between venues 4. Resolution of parking and Frontage Road access problems 5. Improvement of pedestrian circulation 6. Delineation of financial responsibilities ~ ' ' ' ' Designed to be a framework for future management decisions, a series of objectives, action steps and policy statements facilitate the implementation of each goal statement. .a!~•~.•~ ate'.' .- ~.f.Y f :..

Ford Park has been the subject of numerous legislative and community planning actions over the last 24 years. The time line at the end of this section illustrates the relationship between the actions discussed in this section. The Ford Park site was acquired by the Town of Vail in April of 1973 for the stated purpose of improving the quality of life in the community. This 39 acre park site represented the last remaining parcel of land central to use by all residents and visitors of the Vail community. The existing conditions plan, which follows this section, illustrates Ford Park in its current condition. Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1973, signed Apri13, 1973, (a copy of which is included in the Appendix), authorized the purchase (by condemnation) of the property known as the Antholz Ranch. The ordinance listed a variety of possible uses for the property including the following: X for park and greenbelt purposes, X to preserve the natural and physical character of the area to be condemned, X for bicycle, equestrian and hiking trails, X for children=s playground, X for performing arts and civic center, , X for a ski lift and related facilities, X ,for picnic areas, , , .. X for recreational facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools, gymnasium, ice skating rink, X for theater and assembly halls, convention center, public schools, X for possible exchange or trade of condemned land, or a portion thereof, with other property which may exactly meet the needs of the town, X to construct and maintain water works, transportation systems, and other public utilities relating to public health, safety, and welfare. _ ~' 9'(~•.f ,r _... A'ai ~ ~ ~~' J'Z ^+444 :~..-~~~.''. i. ~ .. ~ In August of 1973, the Vail Plan was completed. This plan was designed to control the growth and development of the community and contained a chapter on the town recreation system. The Antholz Ranch property was mentioned as the only site satisfying ,~ ...,...~~ .. ~. -;~the.recreationxuse. anticipated..In the. VaiLPlan-ahe.uses. intended.for the property.were . ~ , further defined. The uses listed include a place for showing and creating art, crafts, etc.; an indoor theater as well as an 800 seat outdoor amphitheater; meeting rooms and ' ~ community workshops; wide outdoor terraces and' natural landscapes; indoor ice arena, tennis and handball courts; children=splay facilities -and' space-for family activities; headquarters for tr~z Annul Vail Syinpesiur; a.d. loca~tPlevisicn; ar=d a passible loLa±ion for an ecologium (nature center). The property was described as a major community park-cultural center. The plan called for 200 surface parking spaces and direct service from the town bus system. Major parking needs were to be accorrunodated in-the Vail Transportation Center with various trails and.bike~vays connecting to the park. In January of 1977, Resolution No. 1, Series of 1977, was passed naming the property commonly known as the Antholz Ranch as Gerald R. Ford Park in appreciation of President Ford=s contributions to the community. Resolution No. 1, Series of 1977 is included in the Appendix. 'In August of 1985 the'Geral'd R. Ford~Park and Donovan Park Master Plan Development Final Report was completed. The Ford Park Master Plan was adopted by Council with Resolution No. 19, Series of 1985, which is included in the Appendix. The purpose of the master plan was to guide the future development of these parks and establish guidelines for the implementation of improvements. The master planning project used a Recreation Needs Analysis Survey and involvement of the public in determining the recreation priorities of the community and the design concepts and criteria for the two park sites. The Ford Park master plan proposed a swimming pool complex, neighborhood park improvements, a skating rink on the lower bench, and the realignment of the eastern softball field. The neighborhood park open space area, playground, and access road were the only portions of the master plan actually constructed. The first major structure to be constructed in the p~rrk, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, was completed in July of 1987. The Parking and Transit Study completed in April of 1979 for the Amphitheater made five recommendations: The Village Structure should be - "considered the major parking facility for Ford Park:, with improvements to the~signs, '4i'~°'' '« sidewalks, and bus service being necessary; extend shuttle bus service to the soccer field; disallow Frontage Road parking; construct a vehicle turn-around and passenger unloading area at Ford Park; and do not schedule concurrent events. Resolution No. 27, Series of 1987, was passed on lovember 3, 1987. Resolution 27 designated the seven acres around the Nature Center as an area to be preserved as an " example of the Go"re Valley=s natural history. Vehicular traffic was'restricted and certain M~'~~'~ policies and procedures for preservation and maintenance of the grounds and facilities ~. were established with the resolution. A copy of resolution No. 27, Series of 1987, is included in the Appendix. "~' `~ ~"''~ °""'`~'~~'~''~"`a`" " ~"Developrrreiit of the communtypark portion on the°lower bench of Ford Park included w,. ` ~' the restroom, playground area, open turf area and picnic facilities, acid the west access road. These improvements were completed in November of 1988. In December of 1988, the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District (Now the Vail Recreation ~~ ` ' ~ District)`and the Town of Vail; requested an amendment to the 198j'Ford~Park Master 4 Plan. The two phase amendment was adopted by Council as Resolution No. 44, Series of 1988. A copy of the resolution is included in the appendix. Phase one of the amendment was to utilize the on-site tennis courts and allow the construction of four additional courts. Phase two of the amendment changed the proposed location of the Aquatic Facility to the eastern softball field. Funding of the Aquatic Facility was rejected by voters in a special election on February 6, 1989. Vail Town Council was presented with a petition to delete all reference to an aquatics center from the Ford Park Master Plan in April of 1990. No record of Council action on the petition was found. While the tennis center building is not mentioned in the Master plan amendment, the VRD did receive a Conditional Use Permit for the project on May 8, 1990. The Vail Village Master Plan, adopted January 16, 1990, addresses Ford Park as a specific study area. This study acknowledges the use of the park in recent years to accommodate overflow skier and local parking needs. It recommends the park be studied further as a site for additional skier parking to serve expansion of the eastern side of Vail Mountain. Action Step #5 under Goal #S states Astudy the feasibility of an underground (recreation fields would remain) parking structure in Ford Park.@ The Parking and Circulation Plan, within the Vail Village Master Plan, identifies the western portion of the upper bench for Apotential parking beneath park,@ and calls for separated bike/pedestrian ways along the South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. The Vail Transportation Master Plan, completed in 1993, states, AThe existing Ford Park Parking area (east end of park) should be considered for a possible 2-level parking facility with the second level below existing grade.@ Ford Park and the athletic field parking area are also listed as two possible sites for oversized vehicles if the lot east of the Lionshead Structure becomes developed. ' Current Park Management There are currently four main organizations operating in Gerald R. Ford Park. The Town of Vail, Vail Recreation District, Alpine Garden Foundation, and the Vail Valley Foundation all play distinct roles and manage separate portions of the park. The Town of Vail is the owner of the entire Gerald R. Ford Park site and manages the community park, stream tract; and parking lot areas. ~ The'other three organizations each hold a"lease or license agreement to operate their respective facilities and programs. within the park. ,...~ The Vail Recreation District Lease of December 21, 1993, describes the premises license as including the upper bench of Ford Park, public tennis courts, athletic fields and ~'-~''~ ' ~~ ~ ~' ~ "Nature Center, although the ~g"raphic'representaton of the premises wa~'not`~attached to~ the lease agreement. The VRD offers a variety of sports leagues, camps, and tournaments to . area residents and guests.. The Vail Nature,Center occupies the seven acres between Vail Valley Drive, and Gore ,Creek and. offers environmental education and research opportunities to residents and guests. While officially a public parking lot, Vail ~' Associates frequently utilizes the athletic field parking lot for employees working out of ~~ 5 the Golden peak ski base. A copy of the Vail Recreation District lease is included in the Appendix. The Vail-Valley Foundation,(WF), anon-profit, charitable organization, manages and maintains the Ford Amphitheater and immediate grounds. The terms of the agreement between the Town and the VVF, signed December 8, 1987, and extended to October 31, 2001, include an endowment for ongoing repair and maintenance of the Amphitheater. The amphitheater seats up to 2,500 people and is scheduled an average of 58 days during the summer. Hot Summer Nights concerts, Bravo! Colorado, and the Bolshoi Ballet are some of the more popular programs held at the amphitheater. The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, a Colorado non-profit corporation, manages the • three existing phases of the Betty Ford Alpine Garden under a Limited License Agreement signed June 8, 1994. The terms and conditions of a Lease Agreement are currently being negotiated. The original Alpine Display Garden was constructed in 1987 under a license agreement with the Town at the entrance to the amphitheater. The site for the Alpine Garden was established in the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan to act as a buffer between the amphitheater and active park areas. The second phase of the garden, the Perennial Garden, and third phase, the Meditation Garden, were constructed in 1989 and 1991 respectively. A fourth and final phase, the Alpine Rock Garden, is currentlytbeing planned for construction in 1998. A proposal by the Alpine Garden Foundation to construct an Educational Center with the final pha:~e of the garden has been controversial. Opposition to the expanded use of the garden and the interior of park has been a significant impetus to the creation of this master plan amendment. In response to that opposition, the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation modified the proposal to locate the Educational Center near the athletic field parking lot on Vail Valley Drive. This location ' ' ~ `rec`eived conceptual- approWal by the'Coun~il'ori O~aolier 1~5` 1`996;'•allo-;aing•the~~ ~ ° `•~ t` ~ ~ , Foundation to proceed through the design process within the Town. The lower bench of Ford Park, is managed by the 'Gown of Vail Department of Public Works and Transportation and serves as a community park and open space facility with picnic, playground and open play areas. The lower bench is utilized several times a year for special events where large tents are often erected to accommodate the activities. " ~ ~ ~' '~~~ • ' Access` to the`park from the Golden Peak ski base is by a public access easement through the Manor Vail property: A copy of the easement is included in the Appendix. The Town operates the upper bench parking lot as a public parking facility during the ski season. Access to the upper bench parking areas is from the State owned South Frontage Road. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is the agency responsible for ' ~~ ' °~` : ` reviewin and a' rovin access ' ermit a licatior~s from the State-owned Fronta a Road. g PP g~' P pP g Currently, no access permit has been issued for the access by the CDOT.

The Ford Park Management Plan process was initiated in June of 1995 in response to several development proposals which had been formally and informally discussed and as a means to solve existing park management issues. The development proposals included an Educational Center for the Betty Ford Alpine Garden, cultural/performing arts center, expansion of the tennis facility, athletic field fencing, and a community parking structure. Park management issues included parking shortage, frontage road access, pedestrian access and circulation, access for the elderly and disabled, utilization of the lower bench, conflicts between uses within the park, conflicts with adjacent property owners, and delineation of financial responsibilities. At the time the project was authorized, Council expressed concern that a new master plan for Ford Park would result in an excessive amount of new development. In response, staff noted the intention of the project was to create a Amanagement plan@ as a means to adequately and consistently evaluate development proposals, thus limiting development and protecting the character of the park. Those organizations with a financial and managerial role along, with. two neighborhood representatives, were identified as the Stakeholder Group and were invited to participate . in the process. A third party facilitator was retained for the project in August of 1995. Staff members from the Town, Vail Recreation District and Alpine Garden participated in the facilitator selection process. Staff felt that athird-party facilitator would be beneficial to the project byoffering anon-biased opinion and increasing Stakeholder participation. The Stakeholder Group was assembled in a series of meetings over the eight month period from August 1995 to April 1996. The meetings drew out issues, ideas, expansion . ~ ~•'~"° " ' proposals,'aiidhegan formulating possible solutions: r~ ~ •" ~ -~~ ~ ~~- : ~ -_ ~ • ~ ~ _~...., Alternative design solutions addressing parking options, vehicular access, Frontage Road improvements, additional sports facilities and management policies, were presented to the public in an open house at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater on June 12, 1996. Citizens were asked to complete aself-guided presentation and opinion survey form. A synopsis of the open house presentation and summary of the opinion survey are included in the . ~ .. ,Appendix. ~ ~ .. The open house presentation was a turning point iri the process of developing the Management Plan. Several residents were alarmed by the alternatives included in the presentation and initiated agrass-roots movement to place a referendum on any future ~" expansion/development within the park. -This strong public reaction, combined with a lack of closure with the Stakeholders Group,~prompted the Town to revise the process to include more public involvement at that time. Previously, public input was being reserved for a time when alternative plans could b~;`presented .for comrrient. Three Focus Group meetings with selected individuals from the community were held on September ~' ~~ ~'~° x•18; 1~996.'Sfakelioider gioi~s were>nvited'to~sulirriit~'a list•ofquestians~foi••iriclusion in the Focus Group discussions. In round table discussion, individuals were asked to 8 respond to a list of prepared questions regarding uses and issues associated with Ford Park. The Focus Group questions and responses are included in the Appendix. Additional public input sessions were held on October 2 and 3, 1996„ which validated the focus group responses and further refined staff=s understanding of the public perception and desire regarding Ford Park. The combined results of the focus group and public input sessions along with a preliminary master plan framework, were presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission on October 14, 1996, and Town Council on October 15, 1996. Both PEC and Council directed staff to proceed with drafting the plan as an amendment to the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan based on the input received and presented. __ ~ .,. ~ . n~7b ,. . . - ,9 9 ~_ .~ ~ -.. _~ - _. .: a~a ... x----w.~--x--1 ~ aa¢ wNOA -- t~ - -` "_ ~`~ "~ a `-=-=- FORD PARK ~° - ~ '°~ MANAGEMENT PLAN ~J ~.. . rn-~a fllill0lllR -'. EXISTING CONDITIONS J ''Of7f y1A+Ne ~ Section 4: Purpose of the Management Plan. This document is formatted as an amendment to the 1985 Master plan (revised) for Ford Park. While some of the physical aspects of the park have changed since the adoption of the 1985 Master plan, the essential character, concept, and function of the park have remained consistent. The 1985 Master Plan, enhanced by this amendment, remains a valid document to be used in the future planning and decision-making process for Ford Park. As with all master plans, this document will have a definite life for which it remains a useful decision-making tool. The life expectancy of this plan is approximately 10 years but should remain in effect until replaced by an updated master plan document. The Ford Park Management Plan will take precedence over the 1985 Master Plan where conflicts or discrepancies occur. The intention of the combined documents is to guide the outcome of future development proposals within Ford Park by modifying the permitted uses (1973 acquisition legislation), recommending development guidelines, limiting the number of leaseholders within Ford Park, and designating buffer/protection zones within and adjacent to the park. The 1985 Master Plan Acknowledges some shortcomings in the overall design of the park, particularly the layout of the upper bench area and the internal pedestrian circulation system. This amendment will formulate design alternatives to these specific problem areas to correct the deficiencies that exist. This amendment will also delineate managerial, operational, and financial responsibilities between the Town and the leaseholders. ~ ..- . A ~ 1. ~ 10 Section 5: Goals, Objectives, Policies and Action Steps. Goals for Ford Park are summarized in six major goal statements. Each goal statement focuses on a particular aspect of Ford Park brought up during the stakeholder and public input portions of the Management Plan process. As one might anticipate, there is a certain amount of overlap between the goal statements. The issues concerning Ford Park are complicated and convoluted as are the solutions to these issues. It is intended that the goal statements be consistent and complementary to each other and be designed to provide a framework, or direction, for the future management of Ford Park. A series of objectives following each goal statement outline specific steps that can be taken toward achieving each stated goal. Policy statements are intended to guide decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives in reviewing development proposals and implementing capital improvement projects. Action steps are the final measure in implementing the goal statements. Illustrative plans following the Goals, Objective, and Action Steps are included to help explain the concepts represented by those statements. The illustrations are conceptual and are not to be considered as final design solutions. Goal #1: Preserve and protect Ford Park. Objectives: 1.1: Limit future development.

Applicant: Luc Meyer, represented by Fritzlen Pierce Architects Planner: Bill Gibson SUMMARY The applicant's proposal is to convert portions of the existing Units 17 and 29 of the Vail Village Plaza Condominiums, Phase I, (generally located at the former Phoenix Rising and Steven Reeve Art Gallery locations) from retail uses to a residential dwelling unit. This proposal will add 2,104 sq.ft. of gross residential floor area (GRFA) to SDD No. 6, Vail Village Inn. SDD No. 6 is comprised of 3.45 acres and consists of five phases of development in the form of the Vail Village Inn. Staff is recommending approval, with conditions, of the applicant's proposal, based on the criteria established in Section IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Luc Meyer, represented by Fritzlen Pierce Architects, is requesting a major amendment to SDD No. 6, Vail Village Inn, Phase I, to allow fora 2,104 sq ft increase in GRFA for a new residence located in the existing Units 17 and 29. The proposal calls for converting a portion of existing retail space on the northeast corner of Unit 17 on the first- floor, the second floor of Units 17 and 29, and the existing third-floor of Unit 29, and making it part of the new proposed residence. The applicant is proposing an increase in dwelling units (DU) per acre for SDD No. 6 from the existing 13 DU per acre to 13.25 DU per acre. If approved, the total GRFA of SDD No. 6 would increase 2,104 sq ft, from 184,457 sq. ft. to 186,561 sq. ft. The total GRFA for Phase I, with the approval of this proposal, would increase from 6,059 sq ft to 8,163 sq ft. All other zoning standards, such as setbacks and site coverage, are proposed to remain the same as existing. With the reduction of approximately 1,158 sq ft of retail space and adding a new residence, the minimum required parking demand will decrease by 1.2 parking spaces. III. BACKGROUND. In 1976, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1976, establishing . Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. The purpose of SDD No. 6 is to assure the comprehensive development and use of an area of land in a manner that would be harmonious with the general character of the town, provide adequate open space and recreation amenities, and promote the objectives of the zoning ordinance of the town. Ordinarily, a special development district will be rreated only when the development is regarded as complementaryto the Town by the Town Council, Planning and Environmental Commission, and Design Review Board, and there are significant aspects of the development which cannot be satisfied under the e~asting zoning. Project History The following is a summary of the existing phases and development for the Vail Village Inn Special Development District (SDD No. 6): Phase I -This phase consists of the buildings located at the southeast corner of the District. Phase I includes one residential dwelling unit approximately 3,927 square ' feet in size and nine commercial/retail spaces. The original development plan for Phase I called for 16,128 square feet of commercial space, and no GRFA. The Alpenrose Restaurant is part of Phase I. Phase II -This phase consists of three residential dwelling units totaling approximately 3,492 square feet in size and three commercial/retail spaces. Phase II is generally located in the center of the District. Phase III -This Phase consists of twenty-nine residential dwelling units totaling approximately44,830sguare feet in size and six commercial/retail spaces. Phase III is located at the northeast corner ofthe District. Phase IV -This is the original and oldest Phase in the District. This Phase consists of one residential dwelling unit approximately 5,000 square feet in size and seventy- two accommodation units comprising approximately 16,585 square feet of floor area. Phase IV is generally located in the northwest corner of the District. Phase V -This Phase consists of eleven residential dwelling units and three accommodation units totaling approximately 9,972 square feet of floor area and four commercial/retail spaces. Phase V is located in the southwest corner of the District at the intersection of Vail Road and East Meadow Drive. Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985 (March, 1985) granted 120,600 square feet of GRFA to SDD No. 6. This ordinance also required a minimum of 175 accommodation units (AUs) and 72,400 square feet of GRFA, devoted entirely to AUs in Phase IV. Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987 (May, 1987), amended Phase IV of SDD No. 6. The amendment allowed Phase IV to be broken into two distinct and separate phases, which were called Phase IV and Phase V. This ordinance also set the maximum GRFA for the SDD at 120,600 square feet. ,Further, the ordinance required a minimum of 148 AUs and ~, 67,367 square feet of GRFA devoted to AUs in Phases IV and V. Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1989 (November, 1989) amended the density section of SDD No. 6. This ordinance- modified the SDD by increasing the allowable GRFA to a total of 124,527 square feet. This allowed Unit No. 30 (originally Good's retail) in the Vail Village Plaza Condominiums to be converted from commercial to residential use. The space consists of 3,927 square feet of GRFA, and the conversion to residential use has been completed. This ordinance also maintained the approval for a minimum of 148 AUs and 67,367 square feet of GRFA, devoted to AUs, in Phases IV and V of SDD No. 6. Ordinance No. 1 and No. 4, Series of 2000, a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6 was approved to allow for construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel. Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for Phase II, which brought the total allowable GRFA for the entire SDD No. 6 to 121%, or 182,325 square feet. Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for Phase IV (i.e. Vail Plaza Hotel), and did not specify, in the form of a revised Approved Development Plan, the total allowable GRFA for the entirety of SDD No. 6. Ordinance No. 32, Series of 2003, adopted a major.amendment to SDD No. 6, allowing for the construction of a new dwelling unit above the Alpenrose Restaurant location; which increase the amount of allowable GRFA for the entire SDD to 184,708 sq. ft. and increase the density to 13 DU's per acre. On January 19, 2005, the Town of Vail Design Review Board conceptually reviewed this proposal. The Board was generally supportive of the design and commented that they believed the proposed architecture was in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and adjacent buildings. IV.

Vail Land Use Plan The Vail Land Use Plan was adopted by the Vail Town Council on November 18, 1986. The plan is intended to serve as a basis from which fui:ure decisions maybe made regarding land use within the valley. 'The primaryfocus of the Vail Land Use Plan is to address the long-term needs and desires of the Town as it matures. The Town of Vail has evolved from a small ski resort founded in 1962 with approximately 190,000 annual skier visits and virtually no permanent residents to a communitywith 4,500 permanent residents. The Town is faced with the challenge of creatively accommodating the increase in permanent residency as well as the increase in skier visits, while preserving the important qualities that have made Vail successful. This is a considerable challenge, given the fact that land within the valley is awell-defined finite resource, with much of the land already developed ai this juncture. The Vail Land Use Plan was undertaken with the goal of addressing this challenge in mind. A secondary purpose of the Vail Land Use Plan was to analyze a series of properties owned by the Town of Vail, to determine their suitability for various types of community facilities. The goals articulated in the plan reflect the desires of the citizenry. The goal statements that were developed reflect a general consensus of the comments shared at public meetings. The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's adopted policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies are relevant to the review of this proposal: 1.0 General Growth/Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining ~ a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 4 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. 1.4 The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new development in the Village Core through continued implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 2.0 Skier/Tourist Concerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day skiers. 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. 2.3 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together to improve facilities for day skiers. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational and cultural opportunities to encourage summer tourism. 3.0 Commercial 3.1 The hotel. bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.2 The Village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to serve the future needs of the destination skiers. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 4.0 Village Core /Lionshead 4.1 Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan. 4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 4.4 The connection between the Village Core and Lionshead should be enhanced through: a. Installation of a new type of people mover b. Improving the pedestrian system with a creatively designed connection, oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and/or sculpture plaza. c. New development should be controlled to limit commercial uses. 5.0 Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continuE: to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in r~ew areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.2 Quality time-share units should be accommodated to help keep occupancy rates up. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided bythe Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the rnarketplace demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. B. Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan The Town of Vail is in the process of preparing a revision to the adopted Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan. The original Master Plan is an outgrowth of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan. The Guide Plan was crE:ated in 1982 to give guidance to the overall physical development for the Village. In addition to providing broad design guidelines, the Guide Plan suggested specific physical improvements for the Village. Improvements such as new plazas, new landscape area, etc. Along with the construction of these public improvements included proposals to complete numerous private sector improvements. Improvements such as building additions outdoor deck expansions, and facade improvements. The Streetscape Master Plan was written in part to provide clear design direction for coordinated public/private improvements. According to the Master Plan, the purpose of the plan is to provide a comprehensive and coordinated conceptual design for sfreetscape improvements that: 1, is supported by the community, 2. enriches the aesthetic appearance of the Town; and 3. emphasizes the importance of craftsmanship and creative design in order to create an excellent pedestrian experience. The Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan also includes provisions for implementation of the plan. These implementation provisions address the construction of streetscape improvements located on private property. "As private property in Vail is being redeveloped and/or upgraded, an opportunity exists formany of the proposed Master Plan improvements to be done in conjunction with orentirelyby private propertyowners. For example, the improvements in the Gore Creek Promenade were funded in this manner. There is no way to predict which property will be redeveloped, therefore, each application fo redevelopment will need to be reviewed to determine what streetscape improvements can be completed as part of the private construction."

Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identityt character, visual integrity and orientation. On January 19, 2005, the Town of Vail Design Review Board conceptually reviewed this proposal. The Board was generally supportive of the design and commented that they believed the proposed architecture was in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and adjacent buildings. _ B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Special Development District No. 6 was approved by the Town of Vail in 1976, pursuant to Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1976. According to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the underlying zoning of the Vail Village Inn development site is Public Accommodation. Pursuant to Title 12, Chapter 7 of the Vail Town Code, the purpose of the Public Accommodation Zone District is: "...to provide sites for lodges and residential accommodations for visitors, together with such public and semipublic facilities and limifed professional offices, medical facilities, private recreation, commercial/retail and related visitor-oriented uses as may appropriately be located within the same district and compatible with adjacent land uses. The Public Accommodation District is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of the District by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a vacation community, and where permitted uses are intended to function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the District." Further, Section 12-7A-2, Permitted Uses, of the Vail Tpwn Code states, the following uses shall be permitted in the PA District: ,~ 11 "Lodges, including accessory eating, drinking, or retail establishrrents located within the principal use and not occupying more than ten percent (70%) of the total gross residential floor area of the Train structure or structures on the site; additional accessory dining areas Tray be located on an outdoor deck, porch, or terrace." The applicant is not proposing any changes of use that deviate from the intentions of the Special Development District or the PA zone district. The slight increase in density with this proposal will not have a significant negative impact on the functions of the surrounding uses and activities. While this site is not located within the Commercial Core I (CC1) zone district (i.e. the Vail Village) it is commonly pe:rceived as part of the Village. The preservation/increase in dwelling units is encouraged by the Vail Village Master Plan and the CC1 requirement that arty elimination of dwelling units requires Planning and Environmental Commission approval of a conditional use permit. C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 1~ 10, Vail Town Code. The construction of this dwelling unit will require 1.4 parking spaces; however, the elimination of approximately 1,158 sq. ft. of existing retail space will reduce the parking requirement by 2.6 parking spaces. Thus adequate parking exists to accommodate this proposal. The applicant has submitted verification that the sufficient numbers of parking spaces are being allocated to this proposal. -According to Institute of Transportation Engineer's standards, this proposal will result in a reduction in the "trip generation" numbers for Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plan. The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process fior the establishment of a special development district. Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies are relevant to the review of this proposal: 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. 1.3 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). 3. Commercial ~ 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in e~asting commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 12 Pursuant to the Town of Vail streetscape Master Plan, the applicant is should be responsible for construction and/or funding a portion of the improvements to the East Meadow Drive streetscape. The Town of Vail Public Works Department recommends that the applicant construct and/or fund the construction of the streetscape improvements generally located between this building and the north edge of the street right-of-way and the stairs located to the west of this building. A visual depiction of this area has been attached for reference (see Attachment E). Staff believes the uses and activities proposed are in compliance with the policies, goals, and objectives identified in the Vail Land Use Plan. E. Identification-and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards the affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. According to the Official Town of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps, the Vail Village Inn development site is not located in anygeologicallysensltive areas or within the 100-year floodplain. F. Site plan, building design and location and open space prousions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The proposal does not call for any modifications that would impact natural features or vegetation. StafF believes that the overall aesthetic quality of the community would be enhanced by the proposed exterior changes. G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic circulation. Staff believes this proposal improves the existing vehicular and pedestrian on and off-site circulation, as this proposal reduces the parking demandfor Special Development District No. 6 by 1.2 parking spaces. H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions. Staff does not believe that this criterion is relevant to this application since no changes to the site itself or the building's footprint are proposed. I. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Staff does not believe that this criterion is relevant to this application as the proposal will only affect a portion of Phase I of the Vail Village Inn development plan and does not require anyfurther phasing or subdividing. 13 X. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the applicant's request~of a major amendment to a spE:cial development: district ('SDD), pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Village Inn Plaza, to increase the total allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA) within the district, located at 100 East Meadow Drive (Vail Village Inn), Lots M and O, Block 5D, Vail Village 1St Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria described in Section IX of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation for approval, with conditions, for this major amendment to a special development district, the Department of Community Development recommends the Commission pass the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the applicant's request of a major amendment to a special development district (SDD), pursuant to Section 12- 9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Village Inn Plaza, to increase the total allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA) within the district,- located at 100 East Meadow Drive (Vail Village Inn), Lots M and O, Block 5D, Vail Village 1St Filing, and setting forth details in regard theretq subject to the following conditions: 1.

The VLMDAC qualifications state: "All applicants must be "owners of property within the boundaries of the district," which includes by definition corporations or entities which own property "within the boundaries of the district." Should an entity be appointed to this advisory council, it would then be up to that entity to appoint its designee. Additionally, owners of "taxable personal property" will be considered for appointment." I have consulted with Matt Mire, Town Attorney; and since Scott was appointed by the Town Council on December 21, 2004, his absence constitutes a vacancy on the advisory council. Staff is requesting the Town Council interview the following four applicants that have submitted letters of interest and appoint one person to fill the vacancy on the VLMDAC. This appointment will complete the term vacated, which runs through December, 2006. Douglas Brooks Scott Fulton Chris Romer Jack Waller Thank you for your consideration of this matter. 75 South Frontage Road .Vail, Colorado 81657.970-479-2136/ FAX 970-479-2320 . www. vailgov. com :« RECYCLED PAPER VAIL CASCADE RESORT & SPA 1300 Westhave'n Drive Vail, Colorado 31657 970.476.7111 fa.r 910.479.7020 www.vailcasr~rl Hotel v' Co~~afere'IZCe Center .Aria Sf~ra i:~ Clnb Chap's Grill ti' Glao~ihouse January 31, 2005 Vail Town Council Attn: Lorelei Donaldson 75 S.

I am currently serving as Vice President of the Avon Business Association working with local businesses to enhance the economic vitality of the Avon Business Community. Over the last three years, we have organized the business community and established approximately 50 businesses in our organization. The ABA has worked with the Town of Avon to preserve the Annual 4`~ of July fireworks display through corporate sponsorship of Coors. We voiced our concerns over charging for Avon transportation when the Avon Town Council wanted to implement a faze structure and changed their opinions through community feedback. This yeaz we aze developing a website for the Avon Business Association to establish a business friendly resource of information and website links for visitors and Avon business owners. I believe we are faced with an exciting and challenging future in regard to the renovations planned for Vail over the next five yeazs. In order to secure our #1 status as a ski resort and increase guest awareness of Vail as an incredible summer destination, we need an organized effort from the business community to amact and maintain visitors and groups alike. I would like the Vail Town Council to consider me for the vacancy on the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council.

Attn: Lorelei Donaldson 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Vail Town Council: I am writing to express my interest and enthusiasm in filling the current vacancy on the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council. Your position advertised in the Vail Daily is an excellent fit with my qualifications. My background includes 8 years of selling and marketing Vail, including the off-peak spring and summer seasons. As Director of Sales & Marketing for Destination Resorts Vail, I offer particular expertise in the electronic marketing, along with in-depth knowledge of direct and print advertising as well as group sales. In addition to my desire to join the Advisory Council, you will find I am a dedicated and driven professional whose recent accomplishments include: Greatly increase website traffic for 2004 through aggressive and targeted Search Engine Optimization & Search Engine Advertising programs. ~ Served four years as olunteer for the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association Vail Valley Chapter, including one year as President. During that time, the Vail Chapter had its largest membership increase in history. Named "Ski Industry Supplier of the Year" by ski tour operators at Partners in Group Sales conference in August, 2004.

Respectfully yo s, __ Chris Romer 479-1783 (home) / 476-1350 (office) THE RESORT COMPANY February 7, 2005 Vail Town Council Attn: Lorelei Donaldson 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Lorelei, I am writing to offer a strong recommendation for Chris Romer to serve on the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council. Chris previously worked for me at both Lion Square Lodge and The Charter at Beaver Creek and I believe he would be a fantastic fit on this council. His enthusiasm and professionalism would be a great benefit to the organization. Chris is passionate about Vail and believes in the future of the community. I have previously served on the Vail Valley Summer Marketing board (as the Beaver Creek member in the old days), I regularly attend the current meetirngs and I feel this council has a very important role to spend the LMD funds carefully and to positively impact our community. The addition of a member of the hotel sales & marketing community would be another advantage of choosing Chris Romer to serve on the council. He would help provide a balanced viewpoint of all entities (retail, town, lodging, etc.). along with the current members. I believe it is important to replace Scott Gubrud's vacancy with a community member with a similar background in hotel sales & marketing. Chris has had past volunteer experience and did a wonderful job uvnning the Vail Chapter of HSMAI (Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International). In conclusion, I strongly recommend Chris Romer for the Local Marketing District Advisory Council. Please contact me at 845-3194 with any questions you may have. Sincerely, Laurie Mullen Director of Marketing The Resort Company Managers of Lion Square Lodge, Montaneros & The Charter February O5, 2005 Subject: Letter of Recommendation for Chris Romer. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing a letter of recommendation on behalf of Chris Romer, Marketing Director for Destination Resorts in Vail. I have had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly three years as part of my duties as the Sales Manager for Specialty Sports Ventures (Vail Sports), so I'm confident in my support and knowledge in Chris' capabilities and background. The lodging industry in Vail & Beaver Creek is a competitive one that requires subtle sales strategies and a commitment to service and integrity. Destination Resorts is a key player in Lionshead Village among many established hotels. The success of our retail business in Lionshead is a direct reflection of hotel occupancy and is thus something we watch very closely. Destination Resorts is consistently busy throughout the year, which is a direct testament to Chris' ability to chase business during~the shoulder seasons through many different strategies. When asked of characteristics defining Chris as an individual, terms come to mind such as ethical, forthcoming, solution-oriented, mature, and driven. He would be an excellent addition to the Town of Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council. During the shoulder seasons, it is well known that cash flow in Vail declines in direct proportion to the number of visitors, and Chris would be an excellent leader in promoting off-season business. This position in the VLMDAC is a crucial one that requires a driven person with strong sales background and a fresh perspective on chasing business in an otherwise sleepy time period. Chris would be an excellent addition to the team and should be a serious contender, and I have the utmost confidence in his abilities and I am giving him a full recommendation to the VLMDAC. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
