A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for a major amendment to Special
Development District No. 22, Grand Traverse, modifying the GRFA calculations for the district;
and a final review of a minor subdivision, pursuant to Section 13-4-2, Procedure, Vail Town
Code, to modify the sizes of Lots 4 & 5, Dauphinais-Mosely Subdivision Filing 1, and setting
forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Grand Traverse Homeowner's Association, represented by Pat Dauphinais
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Tabled to August 22, 2005
MOTION: Vieie SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 5-0-0
Warren Campbell presented an overview of the proposal and the staff memorandum.
Pat Dauphinais, the applicant, presented an overview of the special development district's
history and an overview of the current proposal. He noted that this proposal is an opportunity
for the Town of Vail to conduct a case study on eliminating GRFA regulations. He commented
how the latest GRFA text amendments negatively affected the development potential for this
subdivision.
John Schofield, homeowner, noted that the PEC recognized that individual projects may be
negatively affected by the GRFA changes and that the PEC recommended that variances
should be granted in such circumstances. He recognized that the Town Council did not agree
with this concept.
Chuck Baker, homeowner, described how his property was negatively affected by the
previous "250 Addition" and Interior Conversion cut-off dates which excluded him from
constructing a basement similar to his neighbors property. He described how the SDD
requirements have prevented him from taking advantage of the latest GRFA regulations.
Pat Dauphinais expressed their desire to have the flexibility in terms of GRFA as other zone
districts.
The Commissioners were in support of the proposed subdivision of Lot 5. The
Commissioners generally supported the proposal to remove the GRFA restrictions within SDD
No. 22, Grand Traverse, as there area additional architectural requirements within the SDD
which would provide a level of comfort that the homes which have not been built will fit the
character of the neighborhood which has already been established. Commission members
expressed that the elimination of GRFA for the entire Town would be more difficult as SDD
No. 22 is different from a majority of Town in that it contains very small lots and additional
architectural controls.
Commissioner Jewitt stated he was specifically concerned how much larger homes could
become on larger lots, where setbacks have less of an impact than they do on smaller lots.
He asked the applicant what he would suggest to control the bulk and mass. of structures on
larger lots if GRFA was eliminated? He also questioned if much above-ground change would
be anticipated on the {ots with remaining site coverage?
Pat Dauphinais recommended applying a regressive site coverage requirement to larger lots.
The applicant continued by providing specific examples on the few lots with remaining site
coverage and noted the minimal opportunity for expansion. The applicant, conclude by
commenting that had there .been no GRFA regulations he would not have constructed the
existing homes any differently. '
2. A request for a final review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-9C-3,
Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for a public convention facility and public parking
facilities and structures, located at 395 East Lionshead Circle/ Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead
Filing 1, Lot 3 and 5, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard
thereto.
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Pylman & Associates, Inc.
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Tabled to August 22, 2005
MOTION: SECOND: VOTE: 4-0-1 (Viele recused)
Dave Viele recused himself.
Bill Gibson presented an overview of the proposal and the staff memorandum. He noted that
this discussion is a worksession and the Commission is not being asked to take any formal
action at this time.
Rick Pylman, applicant's representative, presented an overview of the proposed parking and
loading for the conference center project.' He noted a fundamental concept of utilizing
underutilized infrastructure such as the Lionshead Parking Structure. He described Vail
Resort's financial commitment to increasing the amount of available public parking.
Paul Segwick, HVS, presented an overview of the analysis process, key points, and
conclusions of their parking study. The Commissioners asked questions as Mr. Segwich
presented his power point presentation.
Greg Hall noted the conference center and Dobson should not be used for large events at the
same time.
Chris Fasching, FHU, presented an overview of their evaluation and summary of the parking
study. He noted that both parking supply and demand related to the conference center are
very dynamic.
Commissioner Bernhardt asked how many total people per year will attend the conference
center. Mr. Segwick responded that the numbers start at 43,000 and increased to 75,000
after a few years.
Commissioner Gunion asked about the overall trend of parking on the Frontage Road. Greg
Hall noted that trends have not been consistently increasing.
Greg Hall noted that previous Dobson events of 2,800 have put 50 to 100 cars on the
Frontage Road, so a large conference center event would be comparable.
Kaye Ferry commented that the proposed parking should comply with the same rules as a
private developer. She noted her concerns about the existing summer parking demand. She
noted that private developers aren't allowed to not provide parking based upon the timing of
their events or their business hours.
Rick Pylman noted that the Town owns the parking structure facility. He also noted that the
parking standards are painted with a broad brush and not based upon a specific proposal.
Jim Lamont recommended conducting an overall parking/transportation system analysis and
master plan from Cascade to Ford Park.
Commissioner Jewitt commented that based upon the findings in the Town Code, he doesn't
believe the parking standard for this project should be reduced to less than what is required
by Zoning. He noted his concerns about the employee parking demand assumptions, the
lack of an alternative transportation plan for the project, only using the ballroom and meeting
room floor area to calculate the parking demand, and that the event size assumptions were
too small. He stated his concern that a future conference center operator would not be
willing to limit group sizes or coordinate events with Dobson. He also noted that the
Lionshead Parking Structure was for public parking, and not intended to be used by a specific
developer. In summary, 125 parking spaces are not adequate for the conference center.
Commissioner Gunion questioned the event size and frequency assumptions. She noted
that the assumptions being used for marketing and the business plan must be used to
analyze the parking needs. She noted that the conference center should provided the
number of parking spaces that the Town would require of a private developer and the Town
should take advantage of this opportunity to construct additional parking. She expressed her
concerns about what if the parking analysis assumptions are incorrect.
Commissioner Bernhardt agreed with Commissioners Jewitt and Gunion, and that more floor
areas than just the ballroom and meeting rooms should be used to calculate the parking
requirement.
Commissioner Cahill stated that the more parking that is constructed the better. He noted
that additional information would be needed to convince him that only 125 parking spaces
would be adequate for the conference center.
Rick Pylman noted that skier parking and special event parking are creating the real parking
problems in Town, not the local businesses.
Anne Gunion noted that the overall parking problem is creating a loss of tourism and event
attendance.
Rick Pylman noted that a lot of the conference center's parking issues come down to the
management of the facility.
3. A request for a correction to the Vail Land Use .Plan to designate the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan Area and an amendment to the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan to amend, in part, Chapter 5, Vail Civic Center Detailed Plan
Recommendations, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Pylman 8~ Associates, Inc.
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Tabled to August 22, 2005
MOTION: SECOND: VOTE: 4-0-1 (Viele recused)
This item was reviewed concurrently with item #2.
4. A request for a final review of a variance from Section 12-6C-6, Setbacks, Section 12-6C-8;
Density Control, and Section 12-6C-9, Site Coverage, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances,
Vail Town Code, to allow for a residential addition, located at 1448 Vail Valley Drive/Lot 18,
Block 3, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

ACTION: Motion to approve variance for site coverage

Opposed)
ACTION: Motion to approve variance for GRFA
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Bernhardt VOTE: 4-1-0 (Jewitt opposed)
Additional finding that this variance approval is for an elevator and an elevator entry.
Bill. Gibson presented an overview of the proposal and the staff memorandum.
Pam Hopkins and John Schofield presented the variance requests and their reasoning for the
requests.
Commissioner Jewitt was supportive of the setback variance, but not the site coverage or
GRFA variances.
Commissioner Viele agreed with the applicant that more changes are needed to GRFA
regulations, but noted that John Schofield was directly involved in the most recent changes in
the GRFA regulations. He noted his personal belief that anything below grade should not
count. as GRFA.
Commissioner Bernhardt agreed that the regulations adopted by the Town Council gave
basement deductions to only the lowest level of a house. However, he believes the
applicant's; proposal meets the intent of the law and is being evaluated in a site specific
situation.
Commissioner Cahill noted his concern about precedent and his support for variances for the
garage.
5. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an amendment to the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to Chapter 2, Section 2.8, Lionshead Redevelopment

Re: Proposed West Lionshead Lift
Dear Cal,
°RgFT
t
TOWN OF VAIL
Town Manager
The Town of Vail appreciates the opportunity to review the West Lionshead Lift. We have had the
opportunity to meet with representatives of Vail Resorts to review this proposal. The Town has
not at this time received an application for the lift from. Vail Resorts, which is required under the
Town's zoning code. Therefore, we do not have a formal position on this application. However,
we would like to reserve the right to review the draft Environmental Assessment for the project. In
addition we would request that the Environmental Assessment fully analyze the following issues:
• Vehicular circulation and traffic impacts associated with the lift including any impacts to the
level of service on Vail's roads (Including the Frontage Road).
• Pedestrian access to the lift,
• Safety issues associated with the proposed lift,
• Transit needs and requirements for a new lift in this location, and
• Additional parking for a new lift. As you know, the Town currently has a parking deficit on
atypical Friday and Saturday in the ski season.
• Any impact associated from the proposed lift to the areas natural and man made carrying
capacity, and
• Changes in portal usage for Vail Mountain as a whole as the result of this lift,
Other issues that the Town would evaluate which may or may not be the purview of an
environmental assessment includes how this proposal will affect existing retail areas in the Town
and any other economic issues associated with the lift. Also the Town would be interested in how
this proposal will potentially generate additional development in West Lionshead.
We would respectfully request that the above mentioned issues be evaluated in the Environmental
Assessment and we would look forward to commenting on that Assessment once it is available for
our review.
If you have any questions regarding our comments please contact myself at 479-2106.

Memo
To: Vail Local Marketing District
From: Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council
CC: Pam Brandmeyer, Judy Camp, Gina Bentz
Date: 7/26/05
Re: Vail Local Marketing District 2004 Overspend
'~v~il.
Attached to this memo you will find a copy of the audited 2004 Vail Local Marketing District
Profit Loss Budget vs. Actual statement. This memo will clarify several of the line item
budget variances in the statement.
Line item 7011 Partnership - $91,976 over budget
The Partnership line item includes strategic alliances negotiated by the VLMDAC's
vendors. In April of 2004, the VLMDAC was presented with an opportunity to partner with
the Dallas Symphony Orchestra to promote Vail Summer. The partnership included
direct mail and email to the DSO patron list as well as on-sight advertising and guerilla
marketing tactics in Dallas. This alignment was negotiated by its Partnership vendor,
Untraditional Marketing (UM). UM invoiced the VLMD for all aspects of the integrated
promotion (except for direct mail) and thus the Partnership line item was well over budget.
The overspend was covered by surpluses in the budget categories that the DSO
promotion included:
0 6301 Destination $31,840
0 6304 Public Relations $10,207
0 6316 Events $50,000
The DSO partnership generated considerable traffic to the Vail Summer website and
phone numbers, and resulted in a significant number of travel packages booked.
Under Total Expense, the VLMD spent $32,110 over budgeted expenses. This
overspend was the result of several factors:
0 6303.11 Familiarization Trips $5,750 over budget
This overage occurred in November when the Colorado Governor's Conference on
Tourism hosted several hundred more attendees than anticipated. The VLMD hosted
the opening reception and incurred more expenses than budgeted. The invoice for
the reception was not received until 2005.
0 6311 Database 8~ Direct Mail $10,332 over budget
This overage was the result of the incremental direct mail program generated for the
DSO patrons.
-over-
0 6313 Advertising Production $8,922 over budget
This expense occurred in April, when the VLMD created a new 30-second
commercial for Vail Summer. Production costs went over budget when numerous
changes were requested in response to Longwoods strategic research
recommendations.
o Accruals $7,500
The TOV auditors forced the VLMD to reclassify over $7,500 in 2005 prepaid
expenses back into the 2004 budget.
Clearly, the VLMD needs to forecast expenses to prevent any future overspend. The
VLMDAC was under the impression that the TOV auditors had advised against any
further amendments to the VLMD budget after the first quarter. This misunderstanding
has been resolved. Moving forward, the VLMDAC will review budget versus actual
statements at every meeting and will work more closely with the TOV finance department
to conduct regularly scheduled budget projections to effectively manage expenses. If any.
major variances occur in the budget, the VLMDAC will alert the VLMD in a timely fashion.
