roof materials in the Town of Vail, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (5 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On February 6, 2007, the
Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2007, an
ordinance requiring Class A roof assembly or Class A roof
covering materials and banning wood shake and wood shingles
for all structures within the Town of Vail. The regulations
remained vague regarding nonconforming structures and multiple
ownership scenarios, relying on the regulations regarding
compatibility of materials to guide decision-making.
Following recent decisions by the Design Review Board to allow
different roof covering materials under certain circumstances, the
Vail Town Council instructed Staff to propose text amendments to
the regulations in order to clarify requirements and allow different
roof covering materials under certain circumstances in two-family
and multi-family dwellings.
On December 10, 2007, the Planning and Environmental
Commission reviewed proposed text amendments and
recommended approval with modifications.
On December 12, 2007, the Vail Town Council held a work

amendments, and asked that the Design Review Board be given

approached by a developer to construct a mixed-use development on
the south side of the Vail Transportation Center. The proposed
development would likely include a mix of retail, office, deed restricted
employee housing and on-site parking. Before proceeding any further
in discussions with the developer, staff believes it is important for the
Vail Town Council to first determine whether development on this
portion on town-owned land is of interest to the Town of Vail at this
time.

5. Ron Braden ITEM/TOPIC: Council has asked staff to update them on the
status of the CenturyTel wireless network, and give them an
update on the existing agreement to ensure that CenturyTel is in
compliance with the terms of the agreement. (15 min.)
BACKGROUND: In August of 2006, following an extensive RFP
process, the Town of Vail entered into an eight-year Wireless
Broadband Network Lease Agreement with CenturyTel to build,
own, and operate a town-wide wireless network. In order to
comply with state law that strictly forbids municipalities to own,
operate, or manage a municipal broadband service (without the
vote of the people), this agreement makes no reference to
coverage areas, offerings, pricing, or service level agreements.
After a review of this contract by staff and counsel, it was
determined that CenturyTel is not in violation of the terms of the
contract. As compensation for leasing public assets to
CenturyTel, the town receives free Internet access for our guests
up to sixty minutes per day, free access to the network for
municipal and public safety use, a five percent revenue share
once the capital infrastructure of the network is paid off, a much
needed link to our public safety agencies down valley, and the
addition of a competitive Internet Service Provider (ISP). To date,
CenturyTel has invested more than 1.2 million dollars into the
network, while continuing to make improvements. We are the only
municipality in the State of Colorado to have a town wide wireless
network in partnership with a private sector company.
Additionally, the town has not spent any capital dollars to build or
maintain the system.
Agenda:
CenturyTel will provide an update to council on the following tems.
1) Signal Issues / power problems with wireless access points.
..Eight of the ten problem nodes are construction related
2) Status of the network coverage expansion (11 nodes).
..Winter delays/struggles
3) Status on Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device.
4) Deployment of portal / kiosk project.
5) Analysis of last 90 days of trouble calls into the 24x7 toll-free
Help Desk.
6) Edge out uses of the network.
6. George Ruther ITEM/TOPIC: The applicant, Triumph Development, is requesting
permission to proceed through the development review process with
an application to amend the Vail Village Master Plan to allow for
mixed use development on the south side of the Vail Transportation
Center. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to a brief presentation
on the amendment procedures outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan
and instruct the Community Development Department and the
applicant on how the Vail Town Council wishes to proceed at this
time.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On February 5, 2008, the Vail Town
Council held a public hearing to discuss the potential to amend the
Vail Village Master Plan to allow for mixed-use development on the
south side of the Vail Transportation Center. The Vail Village Master
Plan currently designates the south side of the Vail Transportation
Center as an open space buffer between the parking structure and
existing mixed-use development on the south side of East Meadow
Drive. Upon completion of the discussion, the Vail Town Council
unanimously voted to instruct Staff to proceed through the
development review process with a proposed amendment to the Vail
Village Master Plan for further consideration. Staff has determined
that the applicant needs to gain permission from the Vail Town
Council to proceed with a text amendment proposal, thus
necessitating the current request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development
Department recommends that the Vail Town Council grants the
applicant permission to prepare a proposed amendment to the Vail
Village Master Plan and submit an application to the Town of Vail
Community Development Department for review and consideration
pursuant to the amendment procedures outlined in the Vail Village
Master Plan. An approval to proceed does not grant approval of any
amendments and does not give the applicant permission to proceed
through the development review process with a project on town-
owned property.
7. Nina Timm ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion regarding Town Council's direction for
the redevelopment of Timber Ridge Village Apartments.
Specifically, policy direction regarding Town Council's
expectations on rental rates and occupants in a redevelopment
scenario. (30 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: When Timber Ridge Village
Apartments was purchased in July, 2003, the then Town Council
placed a deed restriction on the property requiring 600 affordable
rental beds. As the Town contemplates any redevelopment
scenario for Timber Ridge it is essential to have a firm
understanding of Town's Council's expectations regarding rental
rates at Timber Ridge. Without clearly defined expectations of
rental rates and who are the target residents it is difficult to
evaluate redevelopment scenarios effectively.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests clear policy
direction on Town Council's rental rate expectations, if any in any
redevelopment of Timber Ridge.

Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2007, an
ordinance requiring Class A roof assembly or Class A roof
covering materials and banning wood shake and wood shingles
for all structures within the Town of Vail. The regulations
remained vague regarding nonconforming structures and multiple

compatibility of materials to guide decision-making.
Following recent decisions by the Design Review Board to allow
different roof covering materials under certain circumstances, the

to the regulations in order to clarify requirements and allow
different roof covering materials under certain circumstances in
two-family and multi-family dwellings.

Vail Joint Project IGA. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Direct Town Staff to enter

year. The Town of Vail needs to complete budgeted drainage and
road improvements along Beaver Dam Road and Beaver Dam

complete the projects simultaneously using one contractor. The
town and ERWSD have been working on the construction
drawings for these projects and plan to open public bids on March
26th. It is in both agencies' best interest to have ERWSD hold the
contract with the selected contractor and complete all of the
improvements and have the Town of Vail reimburse ERWSD for
the town's drainage and roadway improvements. This project has
been budgeted within the Capital Street Maintenance Budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to draft and review an
IGA between ERWSD and the Town, in a form approved by the
Town Attorney, for the reimbursement of construction costs for

concrete work on the roof of the City Market Building. This project
has a similar grant from Eagle County and the work is now
scheduled to begin in June '08. The Vail Child Care Center is
requesting the Council direct staff to place this item on the June
17th evening meeting for Council consideration. At this meeting,
Council could then direct staff to place this item in the second

Code. In particular that the synthetic roof material proposed did
not comply with Section 14-10-5.A, criteria numbers 1-3, Vail

where they delighted all who saw them. AIPP has selected artist
Lawrence Argent to once again design ice sculptures for the 2009
event. The artist is requesting a design fee of $5,000 which
includes taking responsibility for the artistic concept, site visits to
determine placement and being on site to assist. The AIPP Board
has determined that the total budget for the 2009 Triumph
Winterfest, including artwork, installation, lighting and publicity will
not exceed $40,000. Funding for the project comes from Triumph
Development.
Art in Public Places Recommendation: AIPP Board members
believe that Triumph Winterfest makes a significant contribution to

and economic vitality. Lawrence Argent, a nationally known artist
will create ice sculptures that will contribute significantly to Vail's
reputation as a world class resort.

Susan Douglas Policies in Vail Village. (45 min.)
Greg Hall
George Ruther ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the three options
for dispersed loading and delivery in Vail Village and provide
direction for implementation.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: During the summer of 2007, a 17-
member working group was formed to evaluate current loading
and delivery practices and to recommend options for future
implementation of a dispersed loading and delivery network in Vail
Village using a combination of underground delivery bays at three
major development sites (Mountain Plaza, Vail Plaza Hotel and
Solaris) as well as on-street loading zones. The group included
representatives from the retail, restaurant, lodging and delivery
sectors as well as representatives from the Town Council,
chamber associations and the residential neighborhood.
This group identified 10 goals for Vail's loading and delivery efforts
and presented a series of recommendations to the Vail Town
Council on October 16, 2007. While 7 interim recommendations
were approved during the 2007 Town Council discussion,
decisions on implementation of additional policies were deferred
until completion of the community loading and delivery bays at
Mountain Plaza (formerly Front Door). This facility was opened for
community use on November 17, 2008, and includes up to 13
public loading and delivery bays that are currently available on a
voluntary basis. On November 11, 2008, the Loading and Delivery
Working Group reconvened to tour the Mountain Plaza facility and
to offer comment on the policy option recommended by staff:
• Option A - On-street delivery available from 4 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. on Bridge Street, Gore Creek Drive and elsewhere in Vail
Village, use of outlying dispersed options from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Two other options were developed during the 2007 meetings:
• Option B - On-street delivery available from 4 a.m. to 8:30
a.m. on Bridge Street and Hanson Ranch Road, and from 4 a.m.
to 11:30 a.m. on Gore Creek Drive, use of outlying dispersed
options from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Option C - On-street delivery from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on
Bridge Street, Gore Creek Drive and elsewhere in Vail Village, use
of outlying dispersed options from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional
approval of Option A because of its ability to best meet the ten
loading and delivery goals identified by the working group.
Recommended conditions include the following:
• Work on the final refinement and monitoring of the Mountain
Plaza loading dock operational rules with Vail Resorts and
vendors to address the questions raised during the November
11, 2008, tour.
• Defer implementation of Option A until January 9, 2009, to
avoid the holiday impacts.
• Provide an interim update to the Town Council after
approximately 30 days (February 17, 2009 meeting).
• Reconvene Loading and Delivery Working Group for review
and evaluation on March 2, 2009.
• Present evaluation of Option A effectiveness to the Town
Council on March 17, 2009, with recommendations for
modifications, as needed.
4. Stan Zemler ITEM/TOPIC: Timber Ridge Redevelopment. (60 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider the

Advisory Council regarding the process for redevelopment of
Timber Ridge.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Three process alternatives for the
redevelopment of Timber Ridge have been identified and
evaluated by staff and the Timber Ridge Redevelopment Advisory
Committee. The alternatives include 1.) issuing a request for
qualifications (RFQ); 2.) pursuing a design/build process with the
town as developer; and 3.) negotiating with Vail Resorts to
develop the property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to initiate a 45-day
negotiation with Vail Resorts to develop the property.
5. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion of the Town of Vail Newsrack
Suzanne Silverthorn Regulations for the 2008-2009 Ski Season. (15 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: 1999 the Town of Vail (the
"Town") adopted Ordinance No. 20, Series of 1999 (the
"Ordinance") which set forth certain time, place and manner
regulations relating to the placement of newsracks on Town owned
property and rights-of-way. Among other things, the Ordinance
established two specific "Newsrack Boundaries" in Vail Village and
LionsHead respectively. For the reasons set forth in the
Ordinance the Town has a continued obligation and responsibility
to regulate newsracks located on Town owned property and public
rights-of-way for protection of the public heath, safety and welfare.
In connection with the regulations adopted in the Ordinance, which
was codified and made part of the Vail Town Code at Title 8
Chapter 6, the Town established various newsrack "clusters" within
both of the above-referenced Newsrack Boundaries. The Vail
Village and LionsHead newsrack clusters appear today in a slightly
modified form due to redevelopment.
Because there currently exists more demand than available
newsrack space within the two Newsrack Boundaries, the staff had
planned to hold a lottery to allocate the available space. The
lottery was not going to give priority to any certain publication(s).
Prior to conducting the lottery, the Vail Mountaineer requested that
priority be given to publications which publish more frequently. A
priority system as suggested is set forth in Section II(D) of the draft
regulations. The legal considerations regarding that priority
system are addressed by the Town Attorney under separate cover.
"NOTE - At the time these materials were due for Town
Council packets, new information was revealed with regard to
the continued existence of the Vail Trial. If the Vail Trail were
to vacate its current spaces within the two Newsrack
Boundaries, more space would become available for
allocation in each cluster.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Provide direction on the
inclusion in the guidelines of a priority system which gives
preference to more frequent publications. Options:
Move forward with the process identified in the draft
regulations WITH preference given to frequency of
publications as identified in Section II(D).
2. Move forward with the process identified in the draft
regulations WITHOUT preference given to frequency of
publications as identified in Section II(D).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: N/A.

bonds were issued with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 4.5%
and maturities through 2012. On September 16, 2008, Town
Council approved Ordinance No. 20, Series of 2008, authorizing
the issuance of Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series
2008 for the purpose of refinancing the outstanding 1998A bonds
at a lower interest rate with the same maturity. Issuance of the
new bonds has been delayed due to market conditions.
Conditions have now improved to the point where it is advisable to
issue the bonds. Because of the delay in marketing the bonds,
however, the "redemption date" specified in the original ordinance
has passed and it is necessary to amend Ordinance No. 20
redefining the redemption date. An emergency ordinance is
requested so the bonds may be marketed immediately following
Council's approval.
