modifications, or deny the request to proceed through the.
development review process.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Applicant is proposing to re-
develop the Solar Vail property located at 501 North FrontagE:
Road West. During the preliminary review of this project, Staff
asked the Applicant to revise the plans to include improvements to
the grade and alignment of the existing access driveway for Solar
Vail to meet current Town standards. The existing acces:>
driveway, located to the east of the Solar Vail building,
encroaches over the extreme south west corner of Tract A, an un~-

11. Nina Timm ITEM/TOPIC: Proposed additions to Exhibit B "Permitted Capital
Improvements" for the Town of Vail Master Deed Restriction that
is currently in place at Vail Commons, Red Sandstone Creek,
North Trail Townhomes, Pitkin Creek Park # 5-F and Vail Heights
# 11. (10 min.)
BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail Master Deed Restriction for
Vail Commons; Red Sandstone Creek, North Trail Townhomes
and Pitkin Creek Park # 5-F and Vail Heights # 11 limits
appreciation of these units to a maximum of 3% simple interest
per year. Additionally, the recoupable Permitted Capital
Improvements are also limited. The deed restriction has
maintained the units as affordable to local employees. At this
point in time it is prudent to expand the recoupable Permitted
Capital Improvements to maintain the units at a desirable level.
The goal of the suggested additional Permitted Capital
Improvements is not to further the resale value of an Owner's
home, but to provide some monetary relief if certain improvements
are made and an Owner must sell their unit within afive-year
period.

think people would pay attention to the results. "It's not necessary and the wrong. way to
go." Representing the Vail Village Homeowners Association, Jim Lamont said the study
should expand to be more global. Moffet and Newberry expressed concern the study

and Publication Options.

website. Additionally, staff has been working with Visible Strategies to explore the
possibility of a web-based publication for the plan, in addition to creating a printed
brochure that summarizes the outcomes of the plan. Visible Strategies has created a
test website for the publication that was presented to the Town Council. Friede then
presented a "walk-through" of the beta version of the site. Council spoke highly of the
product. Friede clarified the cost of maintaining the site would be approximately $1,000
per month. Zemler said this tool would allow for a reduction in printed material.

The ninth item on the agenda was the Sale of 2079 Chamonix Lane # 11 and 4011
Bighorn Road # 6-H to Town of Vail employees.
The Town of Vail, as an employer, recognizes that recruiting and retaining employees is;
becoming more challenging. A key benefit to recruit and retain employees is housing.
The Town of Vail provides certain municipal services that are critical to the overall.
functionality of the entire town and if there is not adequate housing the town will not be~
able to provide critical municipal services. As stated in the minutes of the May 15, 2007,
Town Council Meeting, Town Council unanimously agreed to purchase 2079 Chamonix:
Lane # 11 and 4011 Bighorn Road # 6-H so "the unit(s) be included in the Town's
employee housing stock." The units have been designated for "critical employees" who
include: Firefighters, Police Officers, Dispatchers, Mechanics, Plow Operators, Building
Maintenance Specialists, and Public Safety Systems Engineers. Two administrative
actions were requested of Town Council:
1. A motion directing the Town Manager to amend the Town of Vail Master Deed
Restriction for the two units mentioned above only. To require the listing of the unit
upon no longer being employed by the Town of Vail in a form approved by the Town
Attorney. As proposed, the amendment will require an owner of one of the above
units to list the unit for sale with the Town of Vail within a specific period of time
based on their length of employment with the Town of Vail and their length of
ownership of the deed restricted unit. More specifically, as proposed, the subject
owner would be required to list the unit in a time period equaling no greater than
thirty (30) days for every year the owner has owned the unit and has been employed
with the Town.
Moffet moved to approve the first request of Item #10, Evening Session Meeting of the
Vail Town Council on September 4, 2007, with Logan seconding. Kaye Ferry asked for
clarification on the amount of time the employee could remain in a unit if he/she was not
employed by the town. Mire responded, `The individual would be able to remain in the
unit one month for every year employed by the town." The motion passed unanimously,
7-0.
2. A motion directing town staff to develop a policy for housing employees of the town
of Vail. Staff recommends maintaining two separate employee housing programs.
The Town of Vail, as an employer, needs- an employee housing program and the
Town of Vail, as a government, needs a community wide employee housing plan.
Recognizing that these two programs will be funded from the same pool of funds it
will be important to fund each program separately.
Moffet moved to approve the second request of Item #10, Evening Session Meeting of
the Vail Town Council on September 4, 2007 with Logan seconding.
4
The tenth item on the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2007,
an ordinance approving the sale of the deed restricted property in the Town of Vail legally
described as Vail Heights Condominium Unit # 11, Eagle County, Colorado with a physical
address of 2079 Chamonix Lane, Vail, Colorado.

one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit in West Vail. The purpose of purchasing the unit was to
add inventory to the town's housing stock for its employees. This ordinance authorized a
critical town employee to purchase the unit. Moffet moved to adopt the ordinance with
Newbury seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0.

Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager
The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation.
Bill Jewitt asked Council to call for the review of a liquor license approved for they
Arrabelle at Vail Square, noting potential difficulties in communicating boundary areas tc~
guests. Town Attorney Matt Mire explained the issue had been discussed during they
Local Liquor Licensing Authority meeting and Council had no authority to call up the
decision. Hitt then asked if Vail Village could be licensed as a whole, similar to the
circumstances occurring during the Oktoberfest event. Mire explained a single entity
would need to be physically responsible for the licensed area.
Logan then thanked Bill Jewitt for his longtime participation on Town Council and various
town boards. Due to health reasons, Jewitt has resigned from the Planning and
Environmental Commission and will move to Florida. Jewitt then received an ovation
from the crowd.

agreement. Council directed staff to contact the gentlemen and offer any information
available.

around the roundabouts will take place as fall progresses."
• Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan Update.
Planner Rachel Friede reported aweb-site developed by Visual Strategies meant to
complement the Vail 20/20 visioning process would be too cost prohibitive to implement.
Friede said it would cost $15,000 for a one time start-up fee. It was initially estimated to
cost much less. Therefore, the town will proceed with other publication options for the
20/20 project.
The fourth item on the agenda was Parking Policy and Rates Approval.
Public Works Director Greg Hall reported the parking policy objectives used in years
past were reviewed by the Parking Task Force. The parking plan policy objectives are:
• Service Core Markets.
• Skiers, shoppers, employees.
• Manage the yield.
• Simplify the Product.
• Design project so it is revenue neutral.
• Increase Safety.
In addition, the Parking Task Force works with the following guidelines:
• Strongly encourage the use of transit.
• Recover transit enhancements costs through parking.
• Parking cost increases will be borne by parking.
• Encourage turnover of shopper parking spaces.
• Have the rate of the shopper parking track closer to rates in the structure.
• Raise the top rate to offset continued increased cost of operation.
• Encourage carpooling.
• Pass prices reflect a relative value received based on the daily rate (ie season cost is
based on 21 week at five times per week at daily rate).
• Strictly enforce parking violations.
The parking task force recommended the following changes to the parking policies for
the 2007-2008 season as follows:
2
- Rates and parking passes are proposed to adjust per the attached rate structure.
Last year the only pass with an increase was the Gold Pass. Some pass prices have
not been raised in the past five years.
- Expand the use of the "free peak period areas" in West Vail during the 17 day holiday
peak period from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to include all days during the peak period
(12/21 - 01/06).
- In recognition of significant increases in demand during the early season FOR THIS
YEAR ONLY ('07-'08), allow the North Frontage Road in West Vail "free peak period
area" to be used seven days a week up to the beginning of the holiday. peak period!
(12/21).
- Restrict the construction passes to the LionsHead Structure Monday through
Thursday. New for this year - Do not allow entry to Ford Park or the Soccer Field parking
area on peak days.
- Recommend an increase in the maximum parking violation from $26 to an amount:
closer to twice the maximum parking rate, e.g. 2 X $18 = $36 or to mirror shopper
violations ($50).
- If the town acquires the former Wendy's property, allow pass parking in that lot.
- Enhance the shoulder of the North Frontage Road area between Wendy's and the
Chamonix bus stop by leveling and providing an asphalt milling surface.
- Consider Donovan Park for the early season only.
- Provide enhanced transit service in the early season and during peak periods for the
Wendy's lot and North. Frontage Road West Vail shoulder parking.
- Enhance the summer parking management of the structures during peak periods
(three additional seasonal positions have been included in the '08 budget).
- This will be the last year current debit card holders can add value to cards without
reapplying and verifying pass use criteria is met. In the '08-'09 season, require
reverification of those wishing to purchase debit cards.
- Cone off 50+ spaces in the Village Structure during peak times. Release their use in
the' 9:30 A.M. time period to allow for some employees/guests to have a chance at these
parking spaces.
Hitt clarified a hanging placard will still be required to park in the Ford Park lot and the
proposed reverification of debit card process will be publicly noticed. Moffet expressed
concern that construction workers (as they arrive early in the morning) will obtain prime
parking and Vail's target guest market will not be served. He then encouraged higher
parking rates during peak ski times. He also emphasized, "By reducing vehicles on
Friday and Saturday we can increase safety." Transit Manager Mike Rose stressed
parking enforcement would be enhanced in the upcoming ski season: Hitt then
encouraged enforcing length requirements on vehicles. During the citizen comment
period, Randy Guerrero asked if parking at the Roost was possible. Hall responded the
former hotel may be open again soon. Guerrero then asked who was able to purchase a
value parking pass. He then questioned recent parking increases as they appeared to
happen more frequently. Vail Village business owner Rob DeLuca said Village
businesses suffered worse from parking restrictions (as their employees required
parking during certain times). He expressed concern that a Gold parking pass ($2,100)
was the only option for business owners to provide parking for their employees. "We
have no realistic way to park." Representing the Vaif Chamber & Business Association,
Kaye Ferry joined DeLuca in asking for a pass intended to serve the local business
community. Moffet supported the idea as a pilot program. Village business owner Becky
Magoon asked for parking availability closer to village businesses as loading and
delivery was inconvenient. Moffet moved and Gordon seconded the preliminary adoption
of the Parking Task Force recommendations with additional review by the Council of
daily parking rates and a pilot merchant pass program at an upcoming meeting. Hall
confirmed the Parking Task Force would reconvene and provide additional
recommendations prior to the 07-08 ski season. Newbury suggested creation of the pilot
merchant pass program for businesses that have no alternative parking. Foley and
Newbury expressed concern that shopper parking rates are too low. The motion passed
6-1, with Foley opposed.
The fifth item on the agenda was Resolution No. '23 Series 2007, a Resolution
Approving the Development Agreement between the Town of Vail and Open
Hospitality/Hillwood Capital Partners, Dated as of September 6, 2007.
After nearly six months of negotiation, the town and aTexas-based development group,
Open Hospitality/Hillwood Capital Partners, dba OHP Vail One, LLC ("OHP") have
completed a proposed Development Improvement Agreement (the "Agreement") (DIA)
for redevelopment of the LionsHead parking structure. The negotiation described above
was preceded by a year-long competitive review process which included redevelopment
proposals submitted by two developers, and resulted in the selection of OHP by the
Council. Town staff and consultants, along with representatives from OHP, held a
community meeting on September 10, 2007, to review with the public the details of the
agreement. Following the background information, Gordon clarified the town would not
be responsible for any operating deficits associated with the planned conference center.
The operation of the conference center will be the responsibility of a metropolitan district
to be formed by the developer and funded by the owners of the property. Representing
OHP, Mark Masinter said he believed negotiations had been equitable. He then ensured
Council that OHP was requesting flexibility, only due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e.,
labor shortage, terror attack, monetary crisis). When discussing potential delays,
Masinter said, "It would have to just be something horrible for the project to stop...We
are already going to be $40-50 million into this project." Representing the Vail Chamber
& Business Association, Kaye Ferry stated, "I will always be opposed to the sale of Town
of Vail land." She then spoke in opposition to spending additional dollars on a
conference center as the community had voted against a conference center in 2005.
Town legal representative Malcolm Murray clarified any amendments to the agreement
would require formal action from the Town Council. Tom Steinberg clarified 1,450 public
parking places would be replacing the 1,150 that currently exist. He then encouraged
any private parking spaces included in the project be available to the public when not
occupied. Masinter explained that private parking would be managed through a valet
program. Steinberg then spoke of a fixed-rail system to help defer the need for additional
parking in the long term. Rick Silverman questioned the financial responsibility of OHP
with regard to the proposed conference center. Representing Stanwood Hotels &
Resorts, George Boone announced both hotel brands (W 8~ St. Regis) were excited to
be involved in the proposed development. Michael Cacioppo questioned the ability to
build a conference center for the proposed $14 million amount. In response to another
question by Cacioppo, Hitt stated Vail Resorts holds a deed restriction on the property.
Therefore, Vail Resorts now has "a say" in the determination of the use of the property.
Logan stated, `This single project is the most important project in terms of making the
most progress this town has consistently identified as its two highest priorities, parking
and employee housing." Logan encouraged Council to move forward with the
development agreement and .categorically reject the recent housing proposal from Vail
Resorts. "It is my fondest hope they (Vail Resorts) choose to work with Mark Masinter to
4
redevelop Timber Ridge." it was then discussed that the Temporary Certificate oi~
Occupancy (TCO) on the Arrabelle at Vail Square was contingent upon Vail Resorts"
meeting contractual employee housing requirements. Moffet moved to adopt Resolution
No. 23, Series of 2007 with the changes encompassed in the supplemental documeni~
provided. In addition, the motion added additional clarification to the document and
included a request by the developer to allow one year of unilateral flexibility within they
project timeline. Michael Cacioppo questioned whether Slifer and Gordon were able te~
vote due to a partner/employer relationship with Vail Resorts. Murray stated the twc~
were eligible to vote. Bill Jewitt asked that the agreement refer to a West LionsHead)
location for a third parking structure development. Reid Weily questioned whether Vail
Resorts could satisfy their employee housing requirement by purchasing existing units
and placing a deed restriction upon them. Any such purchase would need to be in
LionsHead area or area designated acceptable by the PEC. Foley reminded they
audience the Ever Vail project has no town approvals. Hitt said, "I believe this project is~
premature...But the agreement gives the developer a chance to tighten up some loose.
ends." Slifer expressed concern over the construction disruption that would occur in
LionsHead. The motion passed 6-1, with Foley opposed.
Newbury left the meeting.
The sixth item on the agenda was the First Reading of the 2008 Budget Ordinance No.
29, Series 2007.
During the afternoon work session, Council made no amendments to Ordinance 29,
series 2007 for the 2008 Budget. However, the following comments were provided:
Greg Moffet and Mark Gordon requested a presentation from Vail Valley Community TV'
Channel 5 for the October 2 meeting regarding services and the franchise fee they
receive from the town. Moffet also suggested that Council be included in the review of
the Donovan Pavilion Management fee structure. Farrow Hitt asked about property tax
revenue projections and concerns about the possibility of a limit placed on taxes by the
state. Judy Camp clarified the town has legally "de-Braced" and is not limited in
collection of property tax. She also explained the property tax revenue budget is based
on the County Assessor's assessed value, but discounted to account for taxpayer
appeals. Regarding the recent funding request for the Teva Mountain Games, the
Council supported the event, and agreed the funding request should go through the
Commission on Special Events. During the evening meeting, Kathleen Halloran
presented the General Fund with net revenue over expenditure of $96,531 and an
ending fund balance of $14.8 million (50% of revenue). Council direction is to have a
35% ratio during this period of redevelopment. Regarding Council Contributions, Farrow
Hitt inquired about getting more prevalent advertising for the Town of Vail as a sponsor
of the Birds of Prey event (produced by the Vail Valley Foundation). He also requested
confirmation of .Vail Resort's matching contribution to the Vail Chamber & Business
Association for the Premier Impressions program. Halloran agreed to provide this for the
October 2 meeting, and 2nd reading of the 2008 Budget. Moffet moved to approve the
ordinance with Hitt seconding. The motion passed 5-1, Foley opposed. Foley stated he
was dissatisfied with the percentage of the budget spent on salaries and benefits.
Zemler responded, "We ask every department to qualify every aspect of what they do."
The seventh item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 30, Series of 2007, An Ordinance
Amending Title 1, Chapter 5, Section 8, "Compensation" of the Town Code.
Moffet moved to approve the ordinance with Gordon seconding. The motion passed 5-1,
with Foley opposed. Mire stated according to Town Charter, Council Members are not
to benefit from increased compensation brought about by their own vote. Subsequently,
Hitt and Gordon (both with two years remaining on their terms) are not eligible to receive
a salary increase during their current terms. Gordon and Hitt both said they supported
the vote because they wanted individuals with economic diversity on Town Council. The
ordinance increases council compensation from $500 per month to $625 per month and
retains the salary for mayor at $1,000 per month, effective January 1, 1998.
The eighth item on the agenda was. the Second reading of Ordinance No. 27, Series of
2007, an ordinance amending Chapter 14-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, to provide
definitions for terms of art, and to Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, for
proposed changes to the grading standards.
On August 27, 2007, the PEC unanimously forwarded a recommendation of approval to
the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendments identified in Ordinance No. 27,
Series of 2007. On September 4, 2007, the Vail Town Council unanimously voted to
approve Ordinance No. 27, Series of 2007 on first reading. Moffet moved to adopt the
ordinance with Foley seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The ninth item on the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 28, Series of
2007, an ordinance amending Chapter 12-21, Hazard Regulations, Vail Town Code, in
order to comply with FEMA floodplain regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards.
On August 27, 2007, the PEC unanimously forwarded a recommendation of approval
with modifications fo the Vail Town Council for the proposed text amendments identified
in Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007. On September 4, 2007, the Vail Town Council
unanimously voted to approve Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007 on first reading. Moffet
moved to approve the ordinance with Hitt seconding. The motion passed unanimously,
6-0.
The tenth item on the agenda was the applicant, Crossroads East One, LLC and
Crossroads West One, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, is requesting to
proceed through the development review process with a proposal to construct private
improvements on the Town of Vail owned East Meadow Drive Right-of-Way.
It is the desire of the applicant to apply for a design review application to allow for the
construction of a portion of a set of stairs to access the southwest corner of the Solaris
development adjacent to the future bus stop. along this portion of East Meadow Drive. The
proposed stairs are proposed to encroach approximately three (3) feet into the right-of-way
for a distance of approximately 14 feet and one and a half (1.5) feet for a distance of
approximately 13 feet, for a total of approximately 62 square feet of improvements within the
East Meadow Drive Right-of-Way owned by the town. The applicant must first obtain Council
(i.e. property owner) approval before proceeding through the town's development review
process. Moffet moved to approve the applicant request to proceed through the
development review process. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The eleventh item on the agenda was Resolution 22, Series of 2007, a resolution. to
adopt the Solaris Parking Management Plan, pursuant to the requirements of the
Crossroads Development Agreement dated March 22, 2006.
On March 22, 2006, Council agreed to the Crossroads Development Agreement which
addressed the many public aspects of the Solaris project. One of those aspects was the
management of the 81 excess parking spaces in the subterranean garage which are <~
portion of the public benefit to offset the deviations that were approved. The Crossroads
Development, Agreement required the applicant return to Council for review and approval
of the parking management plan prior to submitting for a building permit. Moffet clarified
there will public parking available at an undetermined cost. Moffet then moved to tablE;
the resolution until October 2 with Foley seconding. Representing the applicant, Dominic;
Mauriello stated, `There is incentive for the operator of the parking structure to operate
the structure at maximum capacity." Applicant representative Sharon Puczynski opened
herself up for questions from Council. Moffet told the applicant the documents provided
were more technical, and did not spell out an actual management rationale (how thE;
garage would actually work on a busy Saturday). Slifer and Moffet also asked for
potential parking pricing options. The motion to table passed unanimously, 6-0.
The twelfth item on the agenda was a Solaris Request for Town Council Approval of
Public Art.
AIPP Coordinator Leslie Fordham reported the Development Agreement dated 25 July
2006 required the applicant to provide at least $1.1 million in Public Art. Public Art must
be located in plain-sight where it can be enjoyed by the public. Installation of the artworNc
is scheduled for the final construction phase of the project. The Solaris Metro District will
be responsible maintenance of the public art. The AIPP board reviewed the site plan,
artist's resume, narrative description of the artwork, an itemized budget, site models and
material samples. Subsequently, the AIPP Board concluded the applicant complied with
the town's requirements and recommended Council approval of the Public Art. Project
artist Lawrence Argent said he believed it was his goal to make the whole plaza a "worN;
of art." Moffet moved to approve the project with Logan seconding. The motion passecl
unanimously, 6-0.

Please refer to the 2008 Budget packet from the 1 S` reading of the 2008 budget (September 18th

One item ~ of note is the 2008 Summer Air Program. Currently, this is budgeted at $12,000
($10,000 pledge and $2,000 admin/marketing) within the contribution request from the Vail
Valley Partnership. We were recently informed that the managing entity may change for this
program, and staff recommends that the $12,000 stay in the budget earmarked for the Summer

Re: August Sales Tax
On the reverse side please find the latest sales tax worksheet. I estimate I'll collect
another $80,000.00 in August sales tax to bring August collections to $1,178,972.00. If
so, we will be up 16.8% or $169,302.00 from budget and up 11.7% or $123,358.00 from
August 2006.
