the town and consistent with the construction estimates and
project budget. Staff is requesting permission from the Council to
complete negotiations with both general contractors to achieve the
best possible price and schedule for the work. Staff will return to
the Council on March 21, 2006, with a request to enter into a

Right of Way. The current fee .assessed is insignificant to the time
spent on these requests and needs to be updated.

Promenade Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Project.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In 2002, staff presented multiple
options to .the Town. Council regarding the existing pedestrian
bridge near the International Bridge. Options ranged from full
replacement tofull removal. At the time, ~ the Council
recommended replacing the bridge while reusing the existing
abutments.
In January 2006, staff was directed to proceed with the final
design and bidding of the project. Proposals have been solicited
from bridge contractors.
Please see the attached Memo for additional information
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deperiding on the Proposals to be
received on Friday, March 3, staff will recommend approving an

B. ITEM/TOPIC: Artwork for Gore Creek Promenade Pedestrian
Bridge Replacement
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Approve AIPP expenditure for pedestrian bridge railing.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE:
The Town of Vail Public Works department is soliciting proposals
to replace the pedestrian bridge at Gore Creek Promenade. If
approved, construction will begin in spring, 2006. AIPP would like
to enhance the appearance of the bridge by adding artwork to the
bridge railings.
This project was originally brought to the Town Council and
approved in 2002; however, modifications have been made to
keep within budget. A jury composed of Vail residents chose the
artist. The current proposal combines eight art panels with
traditional spindles. The panels depict Vail recreational activities
and are made of layered perforated stainless steel. Art in Public
Places voted unanimously to approve the artwork shown in the
attached drawings. The board is working with the artist to finalize
construction details. AIPP has approved spending up to $30,000
on the project.
5, ~ ITEM/TOPIC: Information Update. (10 min.)
• Revenue Update.
• Vail Land Use Plan.
• Spring Clean Up.
Last summer, the Town of Vail Council directed Vail
Environmental Health to discontinue paying Town Clean Up' Day
participants a $25 donation to their favorite local charity, which in
most cases is a school sports team from one of the high schools
outside of Vail.
This year, the clean up day will be held on Friday, May 12, 2006,
at the Vail Mountain School, giving those students the opportunity
to participate in Vail's annual spring clean up. As directed by
Council, the school and students will not receive a donation;
however, the event will include a free barbecue lunch for all
volunteers participating in the event.
All the details of this year's clean up day event will be finalized in
April, 2006. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions or suggestions.

Applicant: Timberline Roost Lodge, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC
Planner: George Ruther
ACTION: Tabled to March 13, 2006
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Bernhardt VOTE: 5-0-0.
George Ruther gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant,. gave a presentation describing the project in
detail.
Howard Picking, a resident in Hillside condominiums. Concerned with notification process.
Suggested that all property owners be notified with certified mailings not just the President of the
H.O.A. Does not believe that the project is compatible with the neighborhood and that there are
elements of this project being spot zoning. There is an interface problem between the PA-2
zoning and the zoning to the south.
Caryn Carp, resident of Hillside Condominiums submitted photographs of the impact to her unit
by the proposed structure. Photos were submitted into the record.
Ann Bishop,. a resident of Vail, stated that this project is not .consistent with the Vail
Comprehens+ve Plan or the neighborhood. Believes the system is broken.
Deena Korklen, President of Buffer Creek West Condominiums, stated .she never received public
notification. Mentioned that at a neighborhood meeting which included the developer the height
was represented as not being as tall as it appears in the digital model.. Suggested multiple
changes to try and bring the project into greater conformance with the neighborhood and the
review criteria.
Mark Levar, resident of Capstone Townhomes, concerned with the scale and bulk of the
structure.
Adele Picking, resident of Hillside condominiums, presented how her unit was directly impacted
by the proposed structure. Mentioned that she had traveled quite extensively and has not seen
any structure in any alpine village which looks like this proposed structure. Concerned that the
structure does not respect the site and neighborhood. The project does not comply with criteria
#2.
Wendy Erb, resident of Hillside Condominiums, stated that it is reasonable to expect that the
Roost Lodge was going to be redeveloped, but it is important to set a standard for the new Public
Accommodation - 2 District. One of the tools in reviewing this project is compatibility with.the
Page 2
neighborhood. This project is not compatible with the neighborhood. She referenced her letter
she had submitted.
Greg Bemis,r resident of Hillside Condominiums, believes the impact of this project is much
greater than the site it is located upon. Concerned about visibility and the image it will convey
about Vail. Although the project is within the zoning rules it does not make it right. The height
methodology is confusing and misleading to the public, boards, and staff. What about the design
guidelines.
Diane Donovan, resident of Vail, discussed the height regulations of the Town of Vail and the
history of the height regulations. Requested that the PEC ask staff to begin the process of
bringing forth a clarification of the height regulations to make them more clear.
Jim Lamont, .;.representing the Vaii Village Homeowner's Association, asked for clarification on
the encroachments into the setbacks both above and below grade: Suggested moving the
sidewalk as to eliminate the "splash factor" in order to allow for a landscape area between the
North Frontage Road and the proposed sidewalk. Discussed the sun/shade analysis and its
relationship to the impacts of view. The computer model was not interactive and it should be
made to include more perspectives in order to more fully understand the impacts. Noise should
not be touted as an improvement unless a study is provided. Concerned about the term of
historic grade and its usage as it is not applicable to topic of measuring height. Feels it is more
appropriate to deal with what grades are there today. Believes architects and planners are
playing a game with the height regulations.
Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, made some closing comments regarding
compatibility ~of this proposed project and the surrounding properties. Discussed the zoning and
the inherent knowledge that the, PA-2 zone district would allow for a larger building.
Kevin Dieghan, applicant, discussed how they have done nothing with their structure which is
different from how any other recent project has been measured.
Bill Jewitt asked for several clarifications regarding the Public Works memorandum and PEC
memorandum. Believes the applicant should participate in AIPP condition requirement.
Believes that the new impact fee should be applied regardless of what point they are in 'the
process. Copcerned with the apparent height of the structure. Believes.it was a feeble attempt
at get an extra 30 feet in height. Suggested a physical model of the project and surrounding
properties would be helpful. Does not believe the proposal fits the character of the
neighborhood.
Anne Gunion stated that the Code needs to be applied as it is adopted currently. Differentiated
between the technical requirements and the more subjective criteria (design guidelines). Does
not believe the applicant has used smoke and mirrors but has read the regulations. The
regulations should include intent text to help boards understand what the purpose of height, etc.
are when they were adopted. Concerned with how the ridge of the building appears long and
continuous. Agrees the applicant needs to participate in the AIPP requirement, and increased
traffic fee. Most concerned with Criterion 2 as the proposal does have a significant negative
impact on surrounding properties.
David Viele stated that he was reluctant to vote on the application as the reduced plans were
only received prior to the meeting. Does not believe the developer has used smoke and mirrors.
David asked a question regarding height as depicted on C-8 (Cross section). Believes the
calculation of height needs to be resolved in terms of achieving the true intent.
Page 3
Chas Bernhardt asked George Ruther to describe the notification process. It was clarified that
notification was correctly performed. Chas. clarified the change to the PA zone district.
Discussed the history of when properties where constructed and zoned which provides for
expectation to redevelopment and size. Property owners are not necessarily entitled to the
maximums of a zone district as they must also comply with criteria which address compatibility.
Believes that this is the ugliest building -that has been proposed in his tenure in previous
meetings hey was attempting to be tactful in his comments.' Disappointed the plans do not
include sun/s'hade and that the plans were late. Although this parcel has different zoning it must
be compatible with surrounding properties. Believes that the traffic impact fee should be that
which is in place at the time of building permit issuance..
Doug Cahill asked that staff put an item on a future agenda to discuss public notification.
Discussed how the intent of the height regulations are not met with the proposed structure: This
project has a significant negative effect on neighboring structures in terms of bulk, mass, and
height. Believes the applicant shall comply with AIPP requirements.
4. A request for a worksession to review the West Vail Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to
Chapter VIII,'Section 3, Vail Land Use Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Matt Gennett
ACTION:. Tabled to March 27, 2006
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 5-0-0
Matt Gennett gave a presentation detailing the specifics of the draft Master Plan in its current,
preliminary form.
There were several questions regarding traffic circulation and the need for connections to
Chamonix Road. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, discussed the advantages of multiple.
entrances and exits and the reduction in the need for an intersection traffic control, round-about,
as the number of access points increased. Several individuals had concerns about the cut-
through to Chamonix Road. There was great discussion regarding traffic circulation and what
was trying to be accomplished.
Regarding architecture Commissioner Gunion suggested that paint not be used to articulate the
proposed structures vertically per one of the representative structures in the presentation:
Greg Bemis, resident, suggested putting placards up for these types of projects like is done for
the Town Picnics.
Wendy Urr, residentconcerned about steep roads leading to Chamonix.

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Gregg Barrie
Department of Public Works
Date: March 7, 2006
Re: Gore Creek Promenade Pedestrian Bridge
Background
At the January 17, 2006 Town Council Work Session, Staff was directed to proceed with final
design and bidding for the replacement of the Gore Creek Promenade pedestrian bridge.
The recommendation for. replacement was based on concerns that the existing bridge is
underrated for the large crowds seen during special events. Using what is known about typical
"twin-tee" construction, engineers estimate that the bridge can safely carry approximately 30
pounds per square foot, or approximately 50 people. Standard pedestrian bridge live loading
criteria is 85 pounds per square foot. Therefore, it is likely that this bridge is significantly
underrated.
It is important to note that the existing bridge is in relatively good condition and in no danger of
collapsing under typical daily .loads. Access to the bridge has typically been restricted during
Special Events such.as the Duck Race and the.Teva Mountain Games in order to avoid
overloading, however this continues to be difficult. In addition, if the improvements to the
whitewater park move forward, the potential for overloading increases since the bridge is a
prime viewing spot for spectators.
Back in January of 2002, eight options were presented to the Town Council regarding the
existing bridge. The options ranged from full replacement to full removal of the bridge. At the
time, the Council recommended replacing the bridge while reusing the existing abutments and
an engineering firm was hired to complete construction drawings for the project. Those
drawings were finalized in mid-February, and a Proposal Package was distributed to interested
contractors on February 17.
The Proposal Process
This coming spring, part of the Village Streetscape work is focused on the Gore Creek
Promenade area. With this in mind, StafF looked at ways to utilize the on site contractors while
still seeking competitive proposals for the bridge work. Therefore, the bridge replacement work
was divided into two project scopes: the Site Work Scope and the Bridge Replacement Scope.
The Site Work is similar in nature to the Village Streetscape work (excavation, stone veneer
work, electrical work, and the snowmelt system), and pricing will be provided by B & B ,
Excavating, with most of the work being performed by the Streetscape subcontractors. For the
Bridge Replacement work, Proposals have been solicited from several bridge contractors.
Staff proposes that both Scopes should be performed as part of the Village Streetscape Phase II
work, where the Bridge-Scope contractor will perform as a subcontractor on the existing
contract with B & B Excavating, Inc.
Project Cost
In order to offer the contractors adequate time to provide thorough Proposals, the project cost
will not be available until Friday afternoon (March 3). A summary will be emailed or faxed to
Council Members at that time. Staff regrets that the costs were not available in time for this
memo, however, due to .the lead time on the bridge structure, it was important not to delay the
project for an additional two weeks until the next scheduled Council meeting.
Scheduling.
If the decision is made to move forward .with the project, construction will be coordinated with
the Village Streetscape work on the Gore Creek Promenade. The start time will be dependant
on the delivery of the steel bridge structure. Once started, it is estimated that the project
should be completed in approximately three weeks. Pedestrian access will be provided to the
Gore Creek Promenade shops and restaurants from both the Children's Fountain and Willow
Road accesses.
Budget
The 2006 Budget currently includes $125,000 for the Bridge Replacement. However, the
budget will likely require additional funds (to be determined by Friday afternoon, March 3)
Action Requested by Council
Staff is requesting two items:
1. Increase the Project budget to an amount to be determined iri an addendum to this
memorandum.
2. Authorize the Town Manager to enter into a contract with B & B Excavating, Inc. to
construct the Gore Creek Promenade Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Project.
