BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town Council requested an
ordinance that would change the composition of the design review

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this proposal
with the Design Review Board and .has the following
recommendations:
1. .Increasing the number of DRB members to 7 will increase the
time and complexity of the DRB review process. It will be
more difficult to come to consensus on issues to be addressed
for proposed projects subject to DRB approval. If the primary
concern is attendance, then staff would recommend
reasonably enforcing attendance. The Town Council has
latitude to remove members that have attendance issues.
2. Although the town was very fortunate to find a number of
qualified members for the last round of interviews far DRB, this
has not always been the case.
3. In considering the above mentioned issues, both the existing
DRB and staff recommend not approving Ordinance 13, Series
of 2005. Staff would recommend that regular attendance
reports are provided to the Vail Town Council and if
attendance is an issue with individual members, then the Town
Council should take appropriate action.
4. If the Town Council, chooses to approve Ordinance 13, Series

- Vail America Day's Update (4th of July)
With the uncertainty of the exact parade route and the challenges
faced in staging the parade due to construction, we are hoping to
attract approximately 50 quality entries into the parade. We feel
that by keeping the entries to around 50, the parade will move
more continuously through town. Our goal is to emphasize the
after-parade experience in Ford Park with a family-friendly
afternoon of continuous entertainment culminating with a live
simulcast of the fireworks display with a regional orchestra staged
in Ford Park. We are working with the Vail Valley Foundation on
use of the Amphitheater as well. If you have any suggestions or
comments, please contact Laurie Asmussen at 376-3756.

I• INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Intent
The Districts are independent units of local government, separate and distinct
from the Town, and, except as may otherwise be provided for by State or local law or this
Service Plan, their activities are subject to review by the Town only insofar as they may deviate
in a material matter from the requirements of the Service Plan. It is intended that the Districts
will provide a part or all of various Public Improvements necessary and appropriate for the
development of a project within the "Lionshead Core" azea within the Town of Vail to be known
as "Vail Square" (the "Project"). The Public Improvements will be constructed for the use and
benefit of all anticipated inhabitants and taxpayers of the Districts. The primary purpose of the
Districts will be to finance the construction of these Public Improvements. The Districts are not
being created to provide ongoing operations and maintenances services other than as specifically
set forth in this Service Plan.
District No. 1 is proposed to be the Operating District, and is expected to
coordinate the financing and construction of all Public Impro~rements. District Nos. 2 and 3 are
proposed to be the Taxing Districts. District No. 2 is proposed to encompass residential
development. District No. 3 is proposed to encompass non-residential development. The
Districts may, however, include any mix of residential and non.-residential development.
B. Need for the Districts
There are currently no other governmental entities, including the Town, located in
the immediate vicinity of the Districts that consider it desirable, feasible or practical to undertake
the planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation, relocation, redevelopment and
financing of the Public Improvements needed for the Project. Formation of the Districts is
therefore necessary in order for the Public Improvements required for the Project to be provided
in the most economic manner possible.
C. Obiective of the Town Re azding Districts Service :Plans.
The Town's objective in approving the Service Plan for the Districts is to
authorize the Districts to provide for the planning, design, acquisition, construction, installation,
relocation and redevelopment of the Public Improvements from the proceeds of Debt to be issued
by the Districts. All Debt is expected to be repaid by taxes imposed and collected for no longer
than the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term for residential properties and at a tax mill
levy no higher than the Maximum Debt Mill Levy for commercial and residential properties.
Debt which is issued within these parameters and, as further described in the Financial Plan, will
insulate property owners from excessive tax burdens to support: the servicing of the Debt and will
result in a timely and reasonable dischazge of the Debt.
This Service Plan is intended to establish a limited purpose for the Districts and explicit financial
constraints that are not to be violated under any circumstances. The primary purpose is to
provide for the Public Improvements associated with development of the Pro ect.
activities are allowed in accordance with the provisions of Section V.A.1. It is the inOtpentaof the
Districts to dissolve upon payment or defeasance of all Debt incurred or upon a court
1
determination that adequate provision has been made for the payment of all Debt, and if any
District has authorized operating functions under an intergovernmental agreement with the
Town, to retain only the power necessary to impose and collect taxes or fees to pay for these
costs.
The Districts shall be authorized to finance the Public Improvements that can be
funded from Debt to be repaid from tax revenues collected from a mill levy which shall not
exceed the Maximum Debt Mill Levy on commercial and residential properties and which shall
not exceed the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term on residential properties. It is the
intent of this Service Plan to assure to the extent possible that no commercial or residential
property bear an economic burden that is greater than that associated with the Maximum Debt
Mill Levy in amount and that no property developed for a residential use beaz an economic
burden that is greater than that associated with the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term in
duration even under bankruptcy or other unusual situations. Generally, the cost of Public
Improvements that cannot be funded within these parameters are not costs to be paid by the
Districts.

Districts without any limitation.
8. Bankruptcy Limitation. All of the limitations contained in this Service
Plan, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to the Maximum Debt Mill Levy and the
Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term have been established under the authority of the
Town to approve a Service Plan with conditions pursuant to Section 32-1-204.5, C.R.S. It is
expressly intended that such limitations:
A. Shall not be subject to set-aside for any reason or by any court of
competent jurisdiction, absent a Service Plan Amendment; and
B. Are, together with all other requirements of Colorado law,
included in the "political or governmental powers" reserved to the State under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C.) Section 903, and are also included in the "regulatory or electoral

Chapter 9 Bankruptcy Plan under Bankruptcy Code Section 943(b)(6).
Any Debt, issued with a pledge or which results in a pledge, that exceeds the Maximum
Debt Mill Levy and the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term, shall be deemed a material
modification of this Service Plan pursuant to Section 32-1-207, C.R.S. and shall not be an

9. Service Plan Amendment Requirement. This Service Plan has been
designed with sufficient flexibility to enable the Districts to provide required services and
facilities under evolving circumstances without the need for numerous amendments. Actions of
the Districts which violate the limitations set forth in Sections V.A.1-7 above or in Section VI.B-
G shall be deemed to be material modifications to this Service Plan and the Town shall be

The Districts shall have authority to provide for the planning, design, acquisition,
construction, installation, relocation, redevelopment, maintenance and financing of the Public
Improvements within and without the boundaries of the Districts, to be more specifically defined

may be planned for, designed, acquired, constructed, installed, relocated, redeveloped,
maintained or financed was prepared based upon a preliminary engineering survey and estimates
derived from the zoning on the property in the Service Area and is approximately $10 Million.
All of the Public Improvements will be designed in such a way as to assure that
the Public Improvements standards will be compatible with those of the Town and shall be in
accordance with the requirements of the Approved Development Plan. All construction cost
estimates are based on the assumption that construction conforms to applicable local, State or
Federal requirements.

C. Multiple District Structure
It is anticipated that the Districts, collectivea~~, will undertake the financing and
construction of the Public Improvements. The nature of the functions and services to be

among the Districts. All such agreements will be designed to help assure the orderly
development of the Public Improvements and essential services in accordance with the
requirements of this Service Plan. Implementation of such intergovernmental agreement is
essential to the orderly implementation of this Service Plan. Accordingly, any determination of
any Board to set aside said intergovernmental agreement without the consent of all of the
Districts shall be a material modification of the Service Plan. Said intergovernmental agreement
may be amended by mutual agreement of the Districts witriout the need to amend this Service
Plan.

within the Maximum Debt Mill Levy Imposition Term iE'rom revenues derived from the
Maximum Debt Mill Levy and other legally available revenues. The total Debt that the Districts
shall be permitted to issue shall not exceed $20 Million and shall be permitted to be issued on a
schedule and in such year or years as the Districts deterxrrine shall meet the needs of the
Financial Plan referenced above and shall be phased to serve development as it occurs. All

mills less the number of mills necessary to pay unlimited .mill levy_Debt described in Section .
VII:C:2 below; providedthat if, on or after January 1, 2005, there are changes in the method of
calculating assessed valuation or any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut or abatement; the
mill levy limitation applicable to such Debt may be increased or decreased to reflect such
changes, such increases. or decreases to be determined by the Board in good faith (such
determination to be binding and final) so that to the extent possible, the actual tax revenues
generated by the mill- levy, as adjusted for changes occurring after January 1, 2005, are neither
diminished nor enhanced as a result of such changes. For purposes of the foregoing, a change in
the ratio of actual valuation shall be deemed to be a change in the method of calculating assessed
valuation.
2. For the portion of any aggregate Debt which is equal to or less than 50%
of the District's assessed valuation; either on the date of issuance or at any time thereafter,.. the
mill le to be m osed to repay such porn

Mill Levy. and, ;'as a result„'the mill .levy :may be such amount as is necessary to pay the Debt
service on such-Debt, without limitation'of rate.
3. For purposes of the foregoing, once Debt has been determined to be within
Section VILC.2 above, so that the District is entitled to pledge to its payment an unlimited ad
valorem mill levy, such District may provide that such Debt shall remain secured by such
unlimited mill levy, notwithstanding any subsequent change in such District's Debt to assessed
ratio. All Debt issued by the Districts must be issued in compliance with the requirements of
Section 32-1-1101, C.R.S. and all other requirements of State law.
To the extent. that the Districts are composed of or -subsequently organized., into

application of this definition::
D: Maximum Debt Mill Lev position Term
The Districts shall not impose a levy for repayment of any and all Debt (or use the
proceeds of any mill levy for repayment of Debt) on any single property developed for

boundaries as a primary, source of revenue for repayment of debt service and for operations and

of the Town in the event of default by the Districts in the payment of any such obligation.

Additions to the Master Plan
Street enhancements have been developed along the embankment slope that covers
the south side of the parking structure from the Village Center Road/East Meadow
Drive intersection to the central access stairs, across from Slifer Square. A retaining
wall installed in the embankment creates a cavity that varies in depth from 10 to 20
feet, providing space for seasonal vending opportunities, a seating wall, water
features, and public art. A pedestrian walkway will extend along the length, as well.
These street enhancements are designed to generate points of interest and pedestrian
activity to the west of the parking structure's central access.

Re: March Sales Tax
On the reverse side, please fmd the latest sales tax worksheet. I estimate I'll
collect another $21,000.00 in March sales tax to bring March collections to
$2,776,231.00. If so, we will be up 24.43% or $545,114.00 from budget and up 18.43%
or $432,053.00 from March 2004.
Attached please find two worksheets that report on the conference center tax
collection.

Although thisis a small event, it still requires substantial hours preparing and significant
adult staff at the event to ensure the event runs smoothly an~i safely. The VRD Youth
Services (and Marketing) salaried staff spends over 35 hours marketing and organizing
this event. 1600 flyers are created, copied and distributed to Eagle County Students (800
VRD newsletters and 800 EEH dedicated flyers). A mass email is sent out to all VRD
Youth Services customers. 50 full color posters are created and laminated for use in the
event. 200 color '/4-page information cards are created, copif;d and made available at the
event. A full color, i/4-page advertisement is created and runs in the Vail Daily for 4 days.
In addition to this marketing, eggs were inventoried and lost eggs from previous years are
replaced. 2500+ prizes are purchased so that each egg can redeem a prize. Signs are
made. Volunteers are recruited and organized.
Mayor-Jon Stavney's analysis of Eagle's big-box dilemma contained an interesting sentence:. "We,
are beginning to understand that residential growth does not pay its own way." .
Hmmm.
It's broadly agreed that Avon made a bum deal with the developers of the Village at Avon.
Double hmmm.
Let's hope Vail and Minturn pay attention.
Before I moved here in 1974, I was a developer, so I know how this game is played, and it hasn't
changed. The developer is always better prepared than the governing authorities, because the
developer's livelihood is at stake.
The developer. wants an increase in density, and makes persuasive arguments that the increase
will provide great benefits to the governing body. As the Eagle and Avon examples show, the
governing body usually buys the arguments, only to find. out years later that they were, I have to
say it, snookered.
The other part of these negotiations is that the developers always reduce the density of their initial
request to the point where they say they simply can't give up any more and make a profit. The
governing authority has no way to assess the veracity of such claims, and eventually they give in.
There is a solution to this dilemma, and it's based on a simple principle. In the rare cases when
government proposes to down zone property, developers and property.. owners complain that
down-zoning. is a "taking." They're right, but if that's true, it's. equally true that up-zoning, which
is what the developers want, is a gift.
Since Mr. Knobel and Mr. Ginn are clearly asking Vail and Minturn for such-a gift, each
government should ask the respective developers to pay for the services of a genuine expert,.
mutually selected by the parties, to assess both the long-term economic benefits to the two towns; .;
and the density that is required for them to make a reasonable profit.
If they want to gain great credibility, to get their projects approved quickly, and to put many;t
though not all, public concerns to rest, these two gentlemen should promptly agree to this'`';
proposal.
