3. John Gulick ITEM/TOPIC: Proposed IGA for mutual-aid assistance between
Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District Fire
Department and Town of Vail Fire & Emergency Services. (20
min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Over the past several years,
Copper Mountain Fire Dept. and Vail Fire Dept. have engaged in
mutual-aid emergency incident response along I-70 at Vail Pass.
Both fire department chiefs agree that it is mutually beneficial to
have equipment and personnel responding from both departments
to specific incidents requiring rescue or fire suppression. A formal
mutual-aid agreement is a mechanism for us to achieve greater
cooperation between departments and to provide enhanced
emergency services to guests traveling in and out of our
respective resort areas. Copper Mountain Fire wishes to have
affiliation with a municipality such as the Town of Vail, to become
eligible for membership in Colorado Intergovernmental Risk
Sharing Association (CIRSA). This would give them collateral
advantage to join the same insurance pool of which we are
members.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff would like to discuss
details with the Vail Town Council and are seeking feedback on
this proposal.
RECOMMENDATION: Listen to presentation and provide
direction to staff.

addition of a skier gondola in the location of the existing BP
(Amoco) gas station and the development of mixed use areas,
including housing, retail, and office spaces, along the north side of
the Master Plan study area. Another aspect of the initial concepts
includes the possible relocation of the South Frontage Roacl to the
north which would parallel the Interstate. Staff is seeking direction
from Town Council regarding the initial concepts for this Master
Plan study area. (45 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff is seeking feedback
from the Vail Town Council regarding whether the West
LionsHead Master Plan concepts are in line with the Council's and
Town's expectations for this area. Staff will provide a brief
presentation of what has been accomplished in the joint meetings
between Vail Resorts, Town Staff, select Council and Planning
and Environmental Commission members, and the public thus far.

the event of an incident that renders itself incapable of being controlled by a single Party, a request
for mutual aid assistance will be transmitted, and
WHEREAS, each Party will, in good faith, make an attempt to assist the other based on
their needs and specific requests, and
WHEREAS, such Intergovernmental Mutual Aid Agreements are authorized and provided
for by the provisions of C.R.S. 29-5-101, et seq., and C.R.S. 29-1-201, et seq., respectively.
WITNESSETH
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions, and
promises contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
I, DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of clarity, the following definitions are hereby established for use in
this Agreement.
Assisting Fire Department: the Fire Department responding to a request for
aid from a Party to this Agreement.
An Incident: may include: structure fires, wildland fires, vehicle fires, motor vehicle
crashes, medical emergencies, hazardous materials incidents, or any other type of Incident
that may require emergency service personnel to prevent or minimize potential loss of life
or damage to property or resources, including false alarms.
Fire Department: the organization within a jurisdiction providing fire suppression,
fire protection, and life safety services.
Contractual Response Area: for Vail will extend along the Interstate 70 corridor from the

187 WB to the emergency vehicle turn-around.
Jurisdiction: the legally established boundaries of the Parties.
Party:-shall be the governmental entities who agree to the conditions of this
Agreement and become a signatory thereto.
Requesting Fire Department: the Fire Department requesting aid under the
terms and conditions of this Agreement.
II. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Parties agree that in the event there are Incidents in the Response Area served by either
Party which are beyond its control, that the other Party to this Agreement, subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth, shall aid and assist the Requesting Fire Department by causing
and permitting their firefighters and equipment to be used in combating emergency situations
within the Contractual Response Area of the Requesting Fire Department. The need for such
aid and assistance shall be determined by the Requesting Fire Department, subject, however,
to the following conditions:
A. Either Party shall be excused from making its equipment or firefighters available to the
Requesting Fire Department in the event of the need for the firefighters or equipment
within the requested Party's Response Area or if they are otherwise committed as
determined in the sole discretion of the requested Party. No Party shall be liable to
another Party for failure to respond to Incidents due to limited manpower or equipment,
or failure to maintain equipment in proper N~orking order.
B. This Agreement shall not be construed as, or deemed to be an Agreement for
the benefit of anyone not a Party hereto.
C. It is the intent of this Agreement to make available between the Parties additional
resources for response to Incidents of a complex or unusual nature, Incidents which
infrequently occur in areas which may be initially attacked more efficiently by a Party
other than the Party within whose Jurisdiction the hicident occurs, and Incidents
occurring when a Requesting Fire Department is responding to multiple Incidents or
otherwise temporarily limited in its available resources. No Party shall rely on the
secondary resources to be made available under this Agreement to supply their primary
level of service to meet ordinary types and frequencies of Incidents occurring within
their Jurisdiction.
III. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. It is mutually agreed by and between the Parties that personal injury to firefighters shall
be covered as set forth in C.R.S. 29-5-108 through 29-5-109, as amended.

upon the Requesting Fire Department and not the Assisting Fire Department. The
Requesting Party shall be responsible for the non-negligent or non-tortious acts of
the firefighters of an Assisting Fire Department only if performed at the scene of the
2
emergency situation and performed at the specific direction of the Fire Chief of the
Requesting Fire Department or the Incident Commander
C. Each Party hereto shall maintain adequate insurance on their Fire Department apparatus
and equipment and be fully responsible for damage to their own equipment, except as

a limit of at least $1,000,000 each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage to
cover General Liability, Auto Liability, and Public Officials Liability, including Errors
and Omissions, however, such coverages shall not be deemed to waive the defenses and
limitations provided under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act found at Article
10, Title 29, C.R.S. The insurance company shall be properly licensed to do business in
the State of Colorado. In addition to the usual .insurance provisions, the policy, and/or
policies, shall provide that they may not be canceled or altered without giving the entity
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, and the entity agrees to give notice to the
other Party to this Agreement of any policy or coverage that would be canceled.

to its certified capacity or annual tested capacity if said capacity is less than its
certified capacity. This information will be provided to each Party to this
Agreement.
D. In the event of equipment damage or loss by reason of action at a mutual aid
Incident, the liability for any uninsured loss shall be the responsibility of the
Requesting Fire Department. If the Requesting Fire Department feels that the
damage or loss of equipment is due to negligence of the Assisting Fire
Department, a mutually agreed-upon third person will be used to determine
responsibility for replacement or repair costs
IV. INCIDENT COMMAND

Area and finds, subsequently, that the Incident is within the Response Area or
Jurisdiction of another Fire Department, it shall take appropriate action and, by
any available expedient means, immediately notify the Fire Department in whose
Jurisdiction the Incident occurs. Until relieved by the appropriate officer from the
Fire Department in the Jurisdiction in which the Incident occurs, the responding

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 3, 2006
SUBJECT: Work session to update the Town Council on the continuing process of
' establishing a West Lionshead Master Plan and obtain feedback on the
progress thus far.
Planner: Warren Campbell
DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM
Staff is requesting a work session with the Town Council regarding the West
Lionshead Master Plan in order to review the initial development concepts and future
goals and objectives for the study area. The initial concepts include the addition of a
skier gondola in the location of the existing BP (Amoco) gas station and the
surrounding development of mixed use areas, including housing, retail, and office
spaces, along the north side of the Master Plan study area. Another aspect of the
initial concept includes the possible relocation of the South Frontage Road to the
north, resulting in a parallel alignment with the Interstate. In sum, Staff is seeking
direction from Town Council regarding the initial concept for this Master Plan study
area.
II. BACKGROUND
The -initial meeting of the West Lionshead Master Plan Committee was held on
November 10, 2005 and included members of the Town's Planning and Public Works
Departments, select Town Council and Planning and Environmental Commission
members, Vail Resorts Development Company and Mountain Operations Staff,
representatives of Eagle River Water and Sanitary District, and several members of
the public. Several meetings have seen the initial discussion of possible goals and
objectives for the West Lionshead Master Plan study area progress to the most
recent discussion on December 22"d, during which a specific concept for
redevelopment was presented.
The initial goals of the West Lionshead Master Plan Committee are as follows:
• Introduce a new lift/gondola to energize the area and provide
development incentives:
• Relocate the existing Frontage Road.
• Relocate existing mountain operations facilities.
• Provide a public parking component that is potentially locals/employee
oriented.
• Consider this a potential site for a transit component.
• Ensure no net loss of existing office/retail uses.
• Ensure no net loss of existing Vail Resorts employee parking.
• Use West Lionshead to create "new" growth and new revenue streams.
• Provide a retail component.
• Provide additional hot/warm bed stock.
Similarly, on December 6,. Councilman Farrow Hitt presented a list of the Town's
objectives for this study area to the Council, as follows:
• To obtain additional parking to reduce the number of days cars are parked on
the Frontage Road.
• To identify opportunities for a transit facility for buses.
• To identify opportunities for commercial uses (office and retail) which do not
compete with existing Town of Vail commercial areas. Under any scenario,
there shall be no net loss of office and retail space while the potential for an
increase is explored.
• To create "hot" beds in West Lionshead.
• To improve circulation along the Frontage Road.
• To improve the guest experience.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Staff is seeking feedback from the Vail Town Council regarding whether the West
Lionshead Master Plan study area concepts are in line with the Council's and
Town's expectations for this area.
IV. NEXT STEPS
Following the input of the Town Council gained from this worksession, several steps
should be pursued for the West Lionshead Master Plan study area.
• A public meeting for the community to see and. provide input regarding the
concepts which have been developed for the area thus far.
• Rezoning of the properties within the study area.
• Amendment of appropriate Master Plans.
• Submission and review of all appropriate Planning and Environmental
Commission and Design Review Board applications.

Vail Village Master Plan Recommendations
The Vail Village Master Plan identifies the Crossroads development site as both
Medium/High Density Residential and Mixed Use within the Land Use Plan. The Open
Space Plan identifies the Crossroads site as having plaza with greenspace in the
location of the existing surface parking lot. The Parking and Circulation Plan identifies
pedestrian circulation occurring in a plaza with greenspace located in the general
location of the existing surface parking lot.
The Building Height Plan divides the Crossroads site into two areas of differing
recommended heights. The north portion of the Crossroads site is identified as being 5
to 6 stories and the south portion as 3-4 stories. Within the Master Plan a story is
defined as being 9 feet in height. The current policy is that a story is considered to be 11
feet to accommodate the market demands for sense of space and mechanical systems,
such as air conditioning. With a floor plate of 11 feet and a 12-foot tall roof structure the
recommended maximum height of a structure, according to the Vail Village Master Plan
should be 78 feet (11' X 6 stories + 12' = 78 feet) along the northern portion of the site
and 56 feet (11' X 4 stories + 12' = 56) feet along the southern portion of the site.
According to the Action Plan the Crossroads site is located within the Mixed Use Sub-
Area (#1) which states the following:
Mixed Use Sub Area (#1)
The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity. .
There is a great deal of potential for improvements to both public and private
facilities in the area. Among these is the opportunity to develop gateway entries
to the Village at the 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow
Drive. It is also a long term goal to strengthen the connection between this area
and the Village core area by reinforcing the established pedestrian linkages.
Pedestrianization in this area may benefit from the development of retail infill with
associated pedestrian improvements along East Meadow Drive and the
development of public access to Gore Creek.
A significant increase in the Village's overnight bed base will occur in this sub-
area with the development of the final phase of the Vail Village Inn project. In
addition, commercial and residential/lodging development potential is identified in
sub-area concepts 3, 4, 6, and 8. The completion of these projects will essentially
leave the sub-area "built out':
#1-6 Crossroads Infill
Commercial infill over new underground parking lot in conjunction with a
large public plaza with greenspace area (existing and new parking
demand to be provided on site). While configuration of infill maybe done
a number of ways, it is the overall intent to replace existing surface
parking with pedestrian corridors into a commercial area, as well as to
provide a strong building edge, on Meadow Drive and streetscape
improvements. Improvements of the planted buffer adjacent to the
Frontage Road is also important. Relocation of the loading and delivery
functions and entry to parking structure is strongly encouraged to reduce
traffic on Meadow Drive. Potential to improve fire access also exists in
the redevelopment scheme. Special emphasis of 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1,
5.1, 6.1, and 6.2.

The current development proposal dated December 12, 2005, has been reworked and a
portion of the changes made through the negotiation process with Council have been
added back into the project. To be more specific approximately 8,825 square feet of
GRFA have been added,.1 Dwelling Unit, the building on the northeast corner has been
pulled back towards the intersection of Village Center Road and the Frontage Road, and
the roof ridges in select location have been raised primarily on the eastern side of the
building since August 2, 2005; the last time Council saw the project.
The current development proposal dated December 12, 2005, is smaller than the plans
dated April 25, 2005, which the PEC and staff recommended approval of to Council. To
be more specific it is has 11,287 square feet less GRFA and 6 fewer dwelling units. The
building footprint has changed slightly to be pulled further back from East Meadow Drive
and the roof forms have been reduced in height in some areas mainly along the eastern
wing of the proposed structure.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Staff believes there are two procedural options which could be followed to perform a review
of the proposed Crossroads development applications. Staff recommends the Town .Council
listen to the staff presentation, ask questions, and then provide direction on the following:
8
Process Questions:
• .Does the Town Council believe the Commercial Service Center zone
district and Vail Village Master Plan should be examined for possible
amendment to achieve the goals of the community in terms of height, land
use, setbacks density, site coverage, landscaped area, etc., prior to
consideration of a new development application?
OR
Does .the Town Council believe that the Special Development District
review process provides the Planning and Environmental Commission and
Town Council the framework by which to review a development proposal in
the Commercial Service Center zone district and Vail Village Master Plan? If
yes, staff would request that the Town Council affirm the assumptions made
by staff in the previous application's review as being applicable for the current
application's review. (The assumptions made by Staff are discussed on
pages 9-12 of this memorandum.)
Other Technical Questions:
• Does the Town Council believe that review of a Developer Improvement
Agreement (DIA) should begin with the Planning and Environmental
Commission to insure the public benefits, etc.?
Does the Town Council need any additional information, or wish to
schedule any additional work session discussions, to better understand the
Crossroads development proposal?
The two options are as follows:
Review and Possible Update of Zoning and Master Plan Requirements
During the previous review process of the Crossroads development there was a great
deal of discussion regarding the Commercial Service Center (CSC) zone district and the
Vail Village Master Plan (WMP) recommendations. 1t was suggested by many,
including Staff that the CSC zoning was antiquated and needed to be amended to
accomplish the goals identified in the WMP. In addition, it was also discussed that a
fresh look should be taken of the WMP to verify all the recommendations were still
valid.
Staff believes that a primary reason the previous review of the Crossroads project was
difficult within the development review process was the fact that there was a lack of a
good framework by which to review the project. As has been discussed in several public
hearings the deviations being requested from the underlying zoning district of CSC were
quite large.
In previous instances where the underlying zoning or appropriate master plans were not
current with a project being proposed the step was taken to update the zoning and
master plans prior to review of any specific proposal.. Most recent examples are the
Vail's Front Door development, the Evergreen Lodge redevelopment, West Vail Master
Plan,'and the West Lionshead Master Plan.
Previously, Staff was able to demonstrate that the project was inclose coriformance with
the WMP recommendations, though deviating in some respects. However, the
development proposal deviated substantially form the underlying zoning. To achieve a
recommendation of approval Staff made several assumptions regarding the property, the
zoning, and the proposed project.
In order to achieve a recommendation of approval which was made to the PEC on April
25, 2005, Staff made several assumptions regarding the Crossroads proposal. The first
assumption examined Section 12-7E-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code, which identifies that
the residential component should be "limited" so as to not interfere "with the basic
commercial function of the District". A second assumption staff made was regarding
Section 12-7E-9, Density Control., Vail Town Code, which identifies that the amount of
Gross Residential Floor Area included within a project in the CSC zone district "shall not
exceed fifty percent (50%) of total building floor area on any site" While the SDD
process allows for deviations from the requirements mention above staff examined the.
project to see how closely the proposed project came to meeting the purpose section of
the CSC zone district when proposing that more that 50% of the total building floor would
be GRFA and what were the impacts on the primary purpose of providing commercial
establishments. Staff made the .assumption that the amount of commercial being
proposed in the project was likely at the carrying. point of the property and that the
proposed residential and its associated GRFA was not limiting or negatively impacting
the commercial objectives of the CSC zone district.
A third assumption Staff made, with the verification of the PEC by a vote of 6-1-0, was
regarding the policy on floor plate height as discussed in the WMP. As discussed in
Section III of this memorandum the WMP Building Height Plan identifies a floor plate as
being 9 feet in height. As several projects have come through the process applicants
have demonstrated that current market demands and mechanical system needs warrant
a taller floor plate dimension. The current floor plate height policy established by the
PEC is 11 feet. With the proposed Crossroads project the floor plate height is 11 feet 6
inches. As mention earlier on April 25, 2005, the PEC by a vote of 6-1-0, verified that a
floor plate height of 11 feet 6 inches was appropriate. One member of the Commission
did not agree that a floor plate height of 11 feet 6 inches was appropriate for this project
nor the village as a whole. The assumption that a floor plate of 11 feet 6 inches brought
the proposed heights of the structure closer to the maximum heights identified in the
WMP. The following is a portion of Staff's April 25, 2005,. memorandum to the PEC
which discusses the 11 foot 6 inch floor plates.
"Staff has generally accepted an 11-foot floor-to-floor building plate on previous
projects located within the scope of the Vail Village Master Plan such as the
Tivoli Lodge and the Manor Vail Lodge (the PEC voted to adopt 11 foot 6 inch
floor to floor in Lionshead as a part of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master
-Plan). !n addition, it has been previously defermined that a roof structure is at an
appropriate size when it is 12 feet from eave to ridge, as identified above. This
particular project, according to the applicant, because of its proximity to the
Interstate and large window areas (heat gain) will need to have climate control
equipment which the two previous projects did not. If a floor-to-floor plate of 11
feef 6 inches and a 12-foot tall roof structure is acceptable the maximum height
of structure, according to the Vail Village Master Plan should be 81 feet (11.5' X
6 stories + 12' _ '81 feet) along the northern portion of the sife and 58 feet (11.5'
X 4 stories + 12' = 58) feet along the southern portion of the site. However,
10
given the width of the proposed building forms and roof pitches, the proposed
building will require more than 12 feet of roof height. "
The final assumption staff made was that a public plaza, as proposed in conjunction with
the Crossroads development, was a public benefit which offset the proposed deviations
of encroachments into the setbacks, excess height, site coverage, and GRFA . The
following is a portion of the April 25, 2005, Staff memorandum to PEC which discusses
the development potential vacated by creating the plaza and how it compares to the
deviations listed above.
In order to assess whether or not the deviations proposed by the project are
outweighed by the benefits staff performed an analysis which took, the area of the
plaza and multiplied it by the allowable GRFA factor (40%). The allowable
amount, of GRFA was then multiplied by the Vail Village Master Plans maximum
number of stories (3-4 stories). Staff selected a factor of 3.5 stories to multiply
the developable plaza area by as it was felt it was a reasonable expectation for
the height of the structure .which might be located in the location of the plaza.
When the allowable GRFA is multiplied by the number of recommended
developable number of stories this provides an approximate idea of the amount
of GRFA which could be constructed on the area being designated as public
plaza.. The next step was to subtract the amount of GRFA located within the
setbacks and above the recommended maximum height in the Master plan of 78
feet on this portion of the site. Upon completion of this calculation it is found that
the project is in excess of the amount of GRFA displaced by the proposed public
plaza by approximately 121 square feet of GRFA: Therefore it is confirmed that
the proposed public plaza has offset a majority of the proposals GRFA
encroachments of into setbacks and above the 78 foot height recommended in
the Vail Village Master Plan. However, staff believes the deviation of 121 square
feet in excess GRFA is outweighed by the proposed 5 berth loading and delivery
facility .which will be made available to the public, the two proposed public
restrooms (870 s.f. total) and the installation of the complete streetscape
improvements on Village Center Drive and East Meadow Drive. •
Area of Proposed Public Plaza: 24,130 s. f.
CSC Allowable GRFA %: .40
Amount of GRFA: 9, 652 s. f.
Number of Developable Stories: x3.5
Square Footage of GRFA: 33, 782 s. f.
Amount of GRFA in Setbacks: -21,014 s.f.
Remaining GRFA of Public Plaza: 12, 768 s. f.
Amount of GRFA on Floor 6.• -12, 889 s.f.
Amount of GRFA in excess: -121 s.f.
The computer model shows those portions of the Crossroads roof which exceed
the heights granted at Four Seasons and Vail Plaza Hotel. Staff believes that the
area of roof over the established heights of Vail Plaza Hotel and Four Seasons is
offset by a combination of the public plaza, loading and delivery facility, public
restrooms, and proposed streetscape improvements.
Staff believes that with the submittal of a new development application for Crossroads
there is an opportunity to take a look at the CSC zone district and the WMP and
potentially amend them if it is determined that they are no longer effective in providing an
11
effective framework in evaluating proposals in the CSC zone district under the WMP.
Staff cannot anticipate what determination would be reached in reviewing the CSC
zoning and WMP for possible amendment. It could be determined that a great deal of
change is necessary . or that very little is necessary. This option would require a
temporary moratorium on development applications within the CSC zone district in order
to provide the time to examine CSC zoning and the WMP for possible amendment.
Proceed with Existing Zoning and Master Plan Requirements
When reviewing the previous development application for Crossroads it was determined
that the Special Development District (SDD) review process would provide the
necessary framework to review the project with the understanding that the proposed
deviations were great and that they could be mitigated by the provision of substantial
public benefits. The option to rely upon the SDD process still exists. However, staff
believes the result of relying on the SDD process will continue to provide a lack of
framework for evaluating the proposal. If it is decided that the SDD process provides the
necessary framework to review the Crossroads proposal Staff would request that the
Council affirm the assumptions made by Staff previously.
V. NEXT STEPS
The Community Development Department. recommends that the Town Council listen to the
presentation and provide feedback in order to more fully understand the review process for
the proposed Crossroads redevelopment.

Preoccupation with failure
High reliability organizations are preoccupied with small,
emerging, early failures aka problems (failures in the sense of
things not working out exactly as expected).
High reliability organizations resist accepting either/or distinctions.
They consider neither or both as potential options. More detailed
and differentiated sets of categories to label your world puts you in
a better position to make sense of more complex events.

Sensitivity to operations
To be sensitive to operations means in part to put your
understanding of operations into words. To be sensitive to
operations means to tell people what you think we face, what you
think we should do, why you think that is what we should do.
Commitment to Resilience
Resilience is about making do with the resources you have at
hand to contain and manage an unexpected event. And a
commitment to resilience is about increasing the capabilities of
those resources that you have at hand so that they can better
handle whatever is thrown at them.
