BACKGROUND RATIONALE: A neighborhood park for the
Lionshead area has been a consideration in the town for several
years. In the early 1990s a playground facility was removed from
the site beneath the gondola cable, which was owned by Vail
Resorts, due to safety and maintenance concerns.
Recommendations to develop a neighborhood park in the
Lionshead area are included in the Greenplay Parks and
Recreation Master Plan, 2007 and the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan, updated 2007. Funding for the construction of a new
park and playground has been included in the RETT budget for
several years, however, lack of an approved site has prevented
the project from being initiated. There is currently $1,067,000 in
the RETT budget from 2007 and 2008 for this project.
Demographic information provided by the Community
Development Department shows there are currently 859 dwelling
units and 409 accommodation units in the Lionshead
neighborhood. Development projects currently in progress or
under consideration will increase those numbers to 1463 dwelling
units (inc'g EHUs), 287 fractional fee units, and 781
accommodation units.
Currently the three closest park and playground facilities to the
Lionshead neighborhood are Red Sandstone Park, 0.2 miles over
the pedestrian bridge; Pirateship Park, 0.5 miles to the east; and
Donovan Park, 0.6 miles to the west.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Vail

and direct Staff to initiate next steps to move forward with parks
planning on the selected site. Next steps may include
neighborhood meetings, park design concepts, PEC work
sessions, and other preliminary site evaluation activities.

and motifs. After consulting with the community, AIPP
recommends an entry feature comprised of two twisted metal
posts with decorative flora and fauna. The feature will be located

2. Warren Campbell ITEM/TOPIC: PEC/DRB Update. (5 min.)
3. Leslie Fordham ITEM/TOPIC: Art in Public Places Update. (20 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Discuss project approval
process with AIPP Board.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Art in Public Places held a retreat
on July 18, 2008. Board members, with the support of the Town
Council, have worked diligently over the last two years to broaden
and promote cultural programs in Vail. AIPP has enriched the
cultural environment through the purchase of high-quality
sculpture and promoted cultural tourism by staging events that
attract national and international visitors. Vail is acquiring the
reputation of being a first class resort for both recreation and the
visual arts.
In the coming months, AIPP plans to work collaboratively with the
Vail Library to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The Board will
review artwork depicting ice sculptures for 2009 Triumph
Winterfest and promote the visual arts in schools via the
introduction of National Endowment for the Humanities Picturing
America. A high priority for the Board is to determine a new
location for Jesus Moroles' Granite Amphitheatre.
In addition to evaluating the success of projects and planning for
the future, the Board reviewed its operating Guidelines. The AIPP
Guidelines, established in 1989(Ordinance 7, 1992), set out a
process for approval of projects. Both the Board's role and the
Town Council's role are clearly defined. However, since AIPP
began receiving funding from RETT revenue in 2004, the review
process has become more complex, with the Town Council taking
on some of the responsibilities the Guidelines assign to AIPP.
BOARD RECOMENDATION: The AIPP Board believes that
communication with the Town Council relating to expenditures and
project approval could begin when the annual budget is submitted
to the Town Manager. The AIPP Coordinator will provide updates
to the Town Council quarterly.

4.Rachel Friede ITEM/TOPIC: The purpose of this work session is to discuss the
Town's policies and adopted land use regulations that both
directly and indirectly affect development on sites with steep
slopes. (20 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In recent years, the Town has
seen unprecedented growth within its boundaries. Due to the
topography of the Town, many lots are located on slopes of 30%
or greater, some even exceeding 40% slope. More specifically,
the remaining approximately 100 vacant privately owned lots
within the Town are mostly located on slopes of 30% or greater.
This has resulted in an increase in development applications for
structures on lots with slopes of 30% or greater. While the Town
has regulations to provide structure to developing on steep lots,
the question remains as to whether these regulations and their
effects are in line with Town policies.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that the Vail
Town Council listen to the presentation, ask any pertinent
questions, and provide feedback to Staff. Because this is a work
session, Staff does not request that any action be taken at this

meeting. (20 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the presentation.
Provide direction to staff on whether we should continue to pursue
refinement of the option. If there is interest to move forward we will
present the plan and detailed next steps at the November 4 Town
Council meeting. If Council decides at this meeting to continue to
pursue a joint development we would work on preparing a concept
development plan and eventually a PEC development submittal to
move the development forward.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On September 16, 2008, Council
directed staff to investigate the possibility of placing shuttle
vehicles on the North Day Lot in conjunction with VRDC Arrabelle
project requirement to place employee housing and skier drop off
on the North Day Lot. The LionsHead Master Plan allows all of
these uses to be placed on the site. Staff has worked with the
VRDC and their design team in developing a concept sketch plan
which incorporates shuttles to be placed on the site. This site plan
has not been shared with the neighbors at this point, but if the
council is interested in the project, staff will work with the adjacent
properties in design refinement to complete the concept
development plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Decide if the town should pursue
further steps if they would like to jointly develop the North Day
Lot with VRDC to include shuttle vehicle drop off. Provide direction
on additional information needed to make a decision at the
November 4 evening meeting to move a joint project forward.
If the council decides to continue to move forward. The next steps
would be:
• Allocate funding from the Vail Reinvestment Authority to
fund the additional design work.
• Refine the design to a concept development plan level.
• Work with the adjacent properties.
• Refine the costs of the concept development plan.
• Prepare agreement terms with VRDC on how and the

assumptions for the construction of the employee housing
component of the Chamonix Master Plan. (30 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: No formal action is
requested at this time. Please listen to the presentation and ask
questions.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On July 17, 2008, the Chamonix
Site Master Plan Advisory Committee held a meeting to review
"final" revisions to three (3) site plan options and to forward a
recommendation for a preferred option that best meets the
planning goals and design parameters approved by the Town
Council. As well, the Committee reviewed information regarding
preliminary cost estimates and preliminary grading and
engineering plans for each site plan option. Also, the Committee
voted to forward a recommendation to the Town Council to pursue
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
certification and to investigate the use of "Off-site Factory Built"
(modular) construction for the project.
On August 5, 2008, the Vail Town Council voted (6-1) to move
forward with the master plan option labeled "Neighborhood Block."
This option provides 58 two and three-bedroom dwelling units in
town home and condominium configurations. In rejecting the
higher density proposal Town Council expressed concerns about
the additional expenses related to constructing and maintaining a
large parking garage. The third option was rejected because it did
not provide enough density. With the decision to move forward
with the "Neighborhood Block" option there was concern
expressed by multiple Council members regarding the costs of the
proposed housing units and ensuring they would be affordable to
those seeking an opportunity to live there. Neighborhood
representative and former Vail Mayor Bob Armour also
encouraged obtaining more accurate pricing estimates. Based on
the concern of the Advisory Committee and Town Council
members, staff was directed to validate the financial/cost
assumptions prior to final adoption of the Chamonix Master Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Town
Council provide Staff with direction and feedback regarding the
preferred site plan option for the Chamonix Site in relation to the
financial/cost information that has been provided. This information
will be incorporated into a memorandum by Staff, to be presented
to the Planning and Environmental Commission at their December
22, 2008, public hearing for their review and action on a final
