MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Department of Public Works DATE: June 19, 2007 SUBJECT: Vail Whitewater Park Enhancements A. BACKGROUND Recent Developments At the June 5, 2007, Town Council Work Session, staff was present to discuss the Vai Whitewater Enhancements Project and whether or not to proceed with construction. Based on that discussion, staff is recommending approval of Alternative B, which is outlined below, and is requesting that the Council increase the project budget as recommended below for the construction of the Park Enhancements. B. PROJECT COSTS AND RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE Bid Opening On April 9, 2007 the Town opened three (3) bids for the construction of the park. The lowest bid was $ 411,920. With a project contingency and remaining engineering, the total project cost would have been $ 459,000. However, by working with the lowest bidder, staff was able to reduce the cost and offer a suitable alternative to the bid design. Recommended Alternative The June 5`h Memorandum provided four Alternatives for the project. Each are outlined below, however staff recommends Alternative B because it offers essentially the same adjustability and control as Alternative A at a cost reduction of $ 63,000. Alternative B provides the following: Six (6) adjustable bladders • The installation of 8 polyethylene airlines. The additional two will allow for possible expansion at a later date with minimal investment. The bladders are air-filled by two compressors. The system is controlled by a computer program to inflate and deflate at certain times of the day. The computer is operated by a touch screen panel and allows for multiple programs depending on flow rates and user types. • It will take one or two seasons of "fine tuning" at which point the system should operate automatically on aday-to-day and hour-to-hour basis without staff input. • The system reads the water level using an `ultrasonic transducer' and the inflation of the bladders is automatically adjusted to variable water conditions and flows. • Four of the six bladders are individually adjustable. The remaining two, both on the upstream edge, are controlled simultaneously. • There is a high water override which will deflate the bladders in the event of unanticipated higher than normal or flood level flows. Construction: $ 337,000 Contingency: $ 33,000. Engineering: $ 6,000 Total: $ 376,000 Other Alternatives Alternative A -Bid Design w/minor value engineering This option includes minor deductions for some simple alterations. The Bid Design included eight (8) bladders, stainless steel airlines, and computerized controls. Construction: $ 394,000 Contingency: $ 39,000 Engineering: $ 6,000 Total: $ 439,000 Alternative C -Additional Scope Reductions This option deletes the computer system from Alternative B, therefore requiring manual operation. However, the computer can be added at any time in the future. Construction: $ 323,000 Contingency: $ 32,000 Engineering: $ 6,000 Total: $ 361,000 Alternative D -Cancel the project This option would only require finalization of some design bills, all well within the existing whitewater park budget. Summary • Alternative B offers essentially the same adjustability and control as Alternative A at a cost reduction of $ 63,000. Alternative C saves an additional $ 15,000 and allows for the future addition of the computer control system. Alternative D would return approximately $ 84,000 of the existing Whitewater Park budget to the RETT account. C. SCHEDULE AND BUDGET Schedule If approved and awarded, fabrication of the system components would begin in early July. Installation would occur during September 2007, and the system would be fully operational for the spring of 2008. Budget Alternative B $ 376,000 Existing Budget <$ 84,000> Additional Funding $ 292,000 Because the future of this project has always been uncertain, an accurate budget was never included in the annual RETT budget. If the project is to be funded and constructed this fall, funding would need to be included in-the next Supplemental Request. D. ACTION REQUESTED BY COUNCIL Based on the Council recommendation from the June 5th Work Session, Staff is requesting the following: 1. Increase the existing project budget by $292,000 to a total project budget of $ 376,000 for the construction of Alternative B AND 2. Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement with Ted Siepel Construction, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $ 337,100 for the construction of the Vail Whitewater Park Enhancements. E. ATTACHMENTS Appendix A -Project Rationale Appendix B -Recent History Appendix A -Project Rational From the time when the Whitewater Park was constructed in the fall of 2000 there has been discussion of enhancing the features. However, concerns regarding the 100-yr floodplain prompted designers to look for an alternative to traditional static whitewater features. The proposed design uses inflatable rubber bladders attached to an existing concrete slab in Gore Creek to manipulate wave shape and size. The system can be controlled to optimize the feature for variable river flows. Several sensors are used to automatically adjust the bladders to daily flows or to deflate the system in the event of abnormally high flows. Stated plain and simply, because of floodplain concerns, a proposal of this type is the only possibility for significantly enhancing the recreational experience of the Vail Whitewater Park in its existing location. Appendix B -Recent History January 2006: • Staff presented the concept of an "adjustable whitewater feature" to the Town Council during a work session. • Staff requested direction of whether or not to proceed with the concept through the design process. • An informal show of hands from the Council indicated that staff should proceed with .design work. July 2006 Staff presented a refined design to the Town Council with a cost estimate of $336,500 for the construction of the park enhancements based on a proposal from a local contractor. At the time, the project was delayed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit process A show of hands from the Council indicated that staff should proceed through the design and bidding process, however, there was concern from some Council members regarding the cost and aesthetics of the project. August 2006 • The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) denied the installation of the adjustable whitewater feature by a vote of 4 to 3 against. • The Vail Town Council overturned the PEC decision by a vote of 5 to 2 for. October 2006 • The Town of Vail received a Nationwide Permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers to proceed with the project January -March 2007 • Completion of final design work • The Vail Whitewater Park Recreational Enhancements Project was put out to bid MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Stan Zemler DATE: June 19, 2007 SUBJECT: Summary of Town Council's discussion regarding redevelopment of Timber Ridge L Introduction On Tuesday, June 5, 2007, staff made a brief presentation to Town Council regarding specific issues related to the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. Some of the items discussed were requests for further clarification that Open Hospitality Group/Hillwood Capital. Partners (OHP) has requested and other items were brought up by the -Vail Local Housing Authority. The main topics of conversation were: / The mix of for-sale units and rental .units / The configuration of the for-sale and rental units / .Deed restrictions on some or all of the units, both for-sale and rental / Ownership of the land II. -Mix of For-Sate and Rental Units Town Council stated general satisfaction with the currently proposed mix of 312 rental units and 167 for-sale units. There was some concern noted about the market for 167 for-sale units in the highly dense development that is currently proposed. At least one Town Council member suggested that the developer do a site specific market study to ensure the depth of demand at this location and what sort of unit types and amenities would be expected by future owners. Town Council appeared to be comfortable that there was enough demand in the market for rental units at this location. III. Configuration of the For-Sale and Rental Units Town Council would encourage the developer to reconsider the unit sizes on the for sale units and create more one- and two-bedroom for-sale units. Town Council did not believe that this location and proposed density would appeal to families in Eagle County. Properly targeting the for-sale product will be critical. Again, further market research should be completed by the developer to ensure the market demand exists. Town Council recommends providing a variety of rental unit types. Recognizing that Town Council has not closely studied the rental market, they suggested a range of rental units from studios, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. Again, Town Council recommended a site specific market study to ensure the market's needs are being met with the rental units developed. IV. Deed Restrictions There was unanimous agreement from the Town Council members present that all units, for-sale and rental, should be deed restricted. There was not significant discussion regarding the type(s) of deed restrictions that should be put in place. Some discussion was had about a variety of types of deed xestrictions, some of which may carry a price appreciation cap. V. Land Lease The Vail Local Housing Authority has suggested that the Town and the developer evaluate the viability of providing a land lease to the developer rather than Fee Title to the property. The Town historically has had a policy of not selling land.. The Housing Authority believes that over the long term this will benefit the Town in multiple ways. When the term of the land lease expires the Town will be involved in future uses of the housing. The Town will have the ability to adapt to changing market forces. Additionally, if the courts take a more conservative view on long-term deed restrictions the Town would not be at risk of losing the desired use of the property. Of the Town Council members present there was a preference to see along-term land lease provided to the developer rather than sale of the property. VI. Purpose of Meeting The purpose of this evening's meeting is to hear feedback and comments from the public. The public comments from this evening's meeting will be used to further define the scope of the redevelopment of Timber Ridge Village Apartments. Open Hospitality Group/Hillwood Capital Partners (OHP) and their employee Housing partner Lincoln Property Company will continue to work with the Town of Vail to redevelop Timber Ridge. as a component of developing the Lionshead Parking Structure.

Zone District include increases in allowable gross residential floor area, flexible development standards, and increased density allowances. The primary goal of the incentives is to create economic conditions favorable to the development of employee housing in the Town of Vail. These incentives ensure that the Town's long standing development objective of creating sites for employee. housing is achieved. The proposed rezoning is consistent and compatible with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and the Town's development objectives. 2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the Town's adopted planning documents; and The Housing (H) District establishes zoning that is consistent with both exis#ing and proposed uses on the parcel. The proposed use of the property will remain high density deed restricted residential housing. The zone district amendment is consistent with existing and potential uses on surrounding properties. According to the Vail Land Use Plan, the adjoining -land use designations include Open Space, Low Density Residential and Medium Density Residential. Pursuant to the Plan, the existing land use designation of the site is high density residential. A review of the Zoning Regulations demonstrates that the uses allowed in the Housing (H) zone district are compatible with both the intent and purposes of the high density residential land use designation. 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives; and The Housing (H) District is consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. The proposed zone district implements specific goals of the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff believes that the proposed re-zoning presents a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship with land uses in the area consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. For example, while it is likely the overall density of development on the Timber Ridge Village Apartments development site will increase as a result of the zone district boundary amendment, the proximity of the development site to the North Frontage Road and the anticipated off site vehicular and pedestrian improvements that will likely result from any future redevelopment ensures a workable relationship among land uses. More specifically, the acknowledgement of the need for improved public transit facilities in the vicinity of the site and a future I-70 pedestrian/vehicle underpass ensures that the municipal development objective of providing multimodal means of transportation and adequate transportation systems will be achieved. 4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole; and The proposed re-zoning establishes consistent zoning for the property. This re-zoning. will create a zone district consistent with the existing and proposed use of the property. The proposed re-zoning will provide for the development of an orderly viable community consistent with the Town's development interests. as they relate to employee housing. For instance, the Vail Land Use Plan designates the site as "High Density Residentiar' (HDR). The purpose of this land use designation is, in part, "to provide housing that typically consists of multi-floored structures with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per buildable acre". The purpose of the Housing (H) zone district is, in part, "to provide adequate sites for employee housing which, because of the nature and characteristics of employee housing, cannot be adequately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other residential zoning districts".and "to ensure that employee housing permitted in the district is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents of Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate lighf, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the allowed types of uses." Staff believes that this amendment furthers the development objectives of the Town and serves the best interest of the community as a whole. 5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited to water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, .riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features; and The proposed re-zoning will not significantly alter the existing character or uses allowed on the site. As such, staff does not foresee any adverse impacts on the natural environment to include water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, etc. The site was disturbed during the course of construction of the existing development. Special attention shall be given to any existing geologic hazards that previously and presently exist on the development site or vicinity of the site. 6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. The Housing (H) District is proposed for the subject property. The proposed zone district is consistent with the intended purpose of that zone district pursuant to the Vail Land Use Plan. A copy of the purpose statement of the Housing (H) District is provided in Section V of this memorandum. 7. The extent to which the zone district amendment .demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. Since the original adoption of zoning on the property, the Town of Vail has undergone an extensive study for the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. As such, the Town has adopted clearly identifiable goals and objectives for development in this general area of Town. This site, since its original development in 1980 and subsequent purchase by the Town of Vail in 2003, has long been considered an appropriate and desirable location for employee housing within the Town of Vail. 8. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission and/or Council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning .and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval of an amendment to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, pursuant to Chapter 3, Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, to rezone Lots C1- C5, Lions Ridge 1St Filing Subdivision, to the Housing (H) District, to the Vail Town Council. Staff's recommendation is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings: "Before recommending and/or granting an approval of an application for a zone district boundary amendment the Planning & Environmental Commission and the Town Council shall make the following findings with respect to the requested amendment: 1. That the amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the Town; and 2. That the amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas; and 3. .That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality."

The goal of this system is to provide a safe pedestrian environment for guests and employees and reduce noise and air pollution and the unsightliness of large delivery vehicles in the town's commercial core. This policy. has resulted in the development of a coordinated and dispersed town-wide loading and delivery network. One Willow Bridge, The Arrabelle at Vail Square, Vail Plaza Club, Solaris and the Front Door project all have delivery bays built into them. With the completion or near completion of these projects the time to develop an implementation plan has arrived. As you have been made aware, the first meeting held several weeks ago to launch this initiative did not go as well as planned. I am therefore recommending we slow this process down, and form a working group to assist in the development of an implementation strategy. I would propose that a working group consisting of the following representatives be formed: 2 -Town Council Members 1 - VCBA 1 - VVP 1 -Vail Resident 2 -Retail 2 -Restaurant 2 -Vendors 2 -Lodging These representatives would be selected by their respective peers. This group would be charged with developing several options to be considered by the Town Council. These options must include the utilization of loading and delivery bays, consideration of costs and other impacts, and the identification of any equipment and or staffing needs. This process will move forward on the presumption that the disbursed loading and delivery network will. soon be ready for utilization. The task at hand is to develop a Council supported plan for the successful use of the loading and delivery network. ?5 South Frontage Road • Uail, Colorado 81657 • 970-479-2106 /FAX 970-479-2157 www. vailgov. com ~~~ RI C,YG'/!'D PAP!'R
