followed a decision by the Council on March 18 to conclude negotiations with
Open/Hillwood and Lincoln Properties Southwest regarding a proposed redevelopment.
Zemler's suggested next steps included the following:

During discussion, Gordon said he betieved it was good to keep the discussion focused
on process. "I think this should be the Housing Authority looking into this...l believe time
is of the essence." Housing Coordinator Nina Timm explained Timber Ridge required
$2,000,000 in repairs as outlined in an engineering report. Rogers noted, "I think this is a
very sound way to proceed...l agree it needs to be done as quickly as possible." She
then said she would be happy to serve on the committee. Hitt cautioned Council to not
"reinvent the wheel" in regard to an employee housing needs analysis. Newbury said
the Housing Authority felt underutilized but understood the reason for Zemler's
recommendation. In response to comments about the current conditions at Timber
Ridge, Zemler said any concerns over safety or maintenance issues at the complex
should be brought to him immediately. Cleveland said he was particularly in favor of
establishing redevelopment parameters. "I think this is going in the right direction."
Gordon moved to follow the recommended next steps but use the Housing Authority
rather than the recommended committee to perform the parameter developments with
Hitt seconding. Kaye Ferry spoke in support of the previous Open/Hillwood proposal for
the redevelopment. "I think everything you are going to come up with in this new master
plan has been decided over the past finro years." Daly said he would rather go forward
with a mixed committee as opposed to just the Housing Authority. Gordon said the
Housing Authority meetings were open to the public and if they wish to voice an opinion
that opportunity exists., Newbury said she appreciated Gordon's effort to glean more
information from the Housing Authority. The motion failed 2-4, with Gordon and Hitt
voting in favor. Rogers then moved to uphold the staff recommendation with Daly
seconding. The motion passed, 42, with Hitt and Gordon opposed. Rogers and Gordon
were selected as the Council Members to sit on the committee.
The fifth item on the agenda was Resolution No. 6, Series of 2008, establishing the
2008 Employee Housing Fee-in-Lieu.
On April 4, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinances Nos. 7 and 8, establishing
Chapter 23, Commercial Linkage, and Chapter 24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code.
Housing Coordinator Nina Timm reported that in accordance with Sections 12-23-5 and
12-24-6, the fee-in-lieu for each employee to be housed and for each square foot of
employee housing required shall be established annually by resolution of the Vail Town
Council. Rogers moved to approve the resolution with Hitt seconding. The motion
passed unanimously, 6-0. Timm verified the formula used to originally establish the fee-
in-lieu was used for the 2008 update. The town's fee-in-lieu per employee is now set at
$166,464 and the fee per square foot is $301.65.
The sixth item on the agenda was an Incremental Revenue from Property Tax
discussion.
Finance Director Judy Camp explained estimates project property tax collections in,2008
to exceed the amount budgeted by $450,000 to $600,000. "Staff recommends depositing
the incremental property tax revenue into the General Fund along with all other property
tax as is our standard practice.° The impact of this action will be to increase the fund
balance (reserves) in the general fund at a time of uncertainty in the U.S. economy and
the real estate market. The annual budget process provides an opportunity to reassess
the need to use fund balance in the event of any future reductions in property tax or
other revenue sources. Daly said he believed the funds should be used to offset the
town's Capital Projects Fund shortfall. Newbury reiterated Daly's thoughts. During a
pause for public comment, Kathryn Benysh encouraged Council to offer a property tax
3
V
rebate. Tom Steinberg encouraged Council to use the funds for the proposed West Vail
Fire Station. Gordon clarified the funds could be tracked in the fund balance and
appropriated to a specific project at a latec date. Hitt moved to budget the incremental
property tax collections in the Capital Projects Fund with Daly seconding. Cleveland said
he supported a rebate but did not want to risk the town's future by lowering the mill levy.
"The Capitai Projects Fund is a perfectly suitable piace." The motion passed
unanimously, 6-0.
The seventh item on the agenda was a request to review a major amendment to Special
, Development District (SDD) No. 4, Cascade Village, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of the
Comerstone Site, located at 1276 Westhaven Drive. (PEC070055):
Community Development Director George Ruther explained to Council that on January
28, 2008, the PEC voted unanimously to forward a recommendation for approval, with
conditions, of an application for a major amendment to SDD No. 4, Vail Cascade,
pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
development of. ttie Comerstone Site. Daly questioned the availability of parking as
some of the site's parking had been sold. Mire explained the actual use of the space
determined the actual parking requirement. Applicant representative Rick Pylman said
the existing parking structure had 421 parking spaces and they were underutilized.
"The Cornerstone site itself has always parked its own uses...We will come back to you
with a building that does not have a GRFA issue.° Rogers asked if redevelopment
required an 81 foot height to be profitable. Gordon asked if the only change in the project
was the removal of the on-site employee housing units. Newbury said she personally
would have a problem if the project did not have 50% of the required employee housing
on site. Mire clarified that as an SDD it was a requirement that any modifcation to the
property would have to come before Council. Pylman said he believed the
enhancements to the chaidift plaza would be a public benefit. Gordon asked how the
development would address skier drop-off. Hitt encouraged meeting the employee
housing requirement on-site. He said he had been encouraged by a recent peer resort
visit to Park City where employee housing is viewed as paramount. "I would be happy if
you could find a way to put those (EHUs) back on site." Daly said, "My feeling is that the
project should at no point exceed 71 feet...l fully endorse that as a new project under
current guidelines the project should meet the new (EHU) requirements.T Rogers stated,
"I don't see redoing the ticket office as sufficient enough to offset the type of variances
you are asking for." Cleveland said 71 feet was the appropriate height. "Employee
housing has got to be on site...l don't think it's unreasonable that half of the EHU
requirement be on-site...fYs a terrible situation now, and without doing something it will
' only become worse." Liftside Condominiums legal representatives Beth Aires spoke in
opposition to a 71 foot roof line on both towers of the project. She then encouraged
Council to select the option that includes 61 and 81 foot towers. Liftside Condominium
owner Miguel Marero said four to five condominiums would be directly impacted
(blocked views) by the project. Campbell clarified there were no recorded view corridors
in Cascade Village that would be protected by town code. Cleveland said he believed it
was Council's preference that 50% to 100% of employee housing occur on site and. the
height be.limited to 71 feet. Parking, snow removal and skier drop-off-also remained
concems to Council. Gordon moved to table the item to May 20 with Hitt seconding. The
motion passed unanimously, 6-0. 4
The eighth item on the agenda was the First reading of Ordinance No. 10, Series of
2008, repealing and re-enacting Ordinance No. 31, Series of 2007, Cascade Village,
amending and re-establishing the approved development plan for Area A of SDD No. 4,
pursuant to Article 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
construction of two additions (deck enclosures) to the south side of Vail Cascade Hotel,
located at 1300 Westhaven Drive/Cascade Village Subdivision.
Planner Nicole Peterson reported that on March 24, 2008, the PEC recommended
approval of the request. The proposed additions would expand the floor area of the
existing Chap's Restaurant by 1,405 square feet.and the existing library by 486 square
feet, for a total of 1,891 square feet of additional enclosed space. In addition, this
request included an expansion of the Chap's Restaurant deck by 183 square feet and
the addition of a staircase from the existing deck to the ground level patio and pool.
Applicant representative Rick Pylman gave a project overview. Destination Resorts
Project Manager Rick Birchum said his company was attempting to update the property
and improve guest amenities available in the hotel. He expressed concern that the
project's employee housing requirement would equal 1/3 of the total project cost and
requested Council waive the employee housing requirement for reasons stated in
Attachment D of Staff s April 15, 2008 memorandum to the Council. Project architect
Tobias Strough described the design of the proposed additions. Newbury asked how
many guests could be fed in the conference center facility.. Birchum replied 250-300
guests. Daly asked how many EHU's, the Vai! Cascade controlled. Nina Timm, Housing
Coordinator replied, 11 EHU's. Cleveland said he did not find Birchum's arguments (in
regard to waiving the redevelopments employee housing requirement) to be very
compelling. He commented it is easier to move seven to eight employees from the
kitchen to the conference center, rather than 250-300 guests from the conference center
to the kitchen. He stated, "I don't believe you will actually cut the number of employees."
Daly moved to not provide waiver of the employee housing requirement with Rogers
seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Newbury moved to approve with
conditions .the first reading of the ordinance with Rogers seconding. Daly added that staff
validate the parking ana(ysis provided in Ordinance 10. The motion passed unanimously,
6-0. ,
The ninth item on the agenda was a Town of Vail request for the first reading of
Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2008, an Ordinance to enact prescribed regulation
amendments to Title 12, Vail Town Code, to establish requirements and procedures for
public art in development projects. The ordinance clarifies the process for projects that have a public art component in their
approved development plan. Rogers moved to approve the ordinance with Newbury
seconding. Mire clarified the town requires a 125% performance bond on all public
improvement projects. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The tenth item on the agenda was Resolution 9, Series of 2008, a resolution to amend
Chapter 4, Recommendations - Overall Study Area and Chapter 5, Detailed Plan
Recommendations, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to Section 2.8,
Adoption and Amendment of the Master Plan, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to
amend those elements of the Master Plan referencing the North Day Lot recommendations
and requirements to facilitate the redevelopment of the site with an employee housing
project, transportation center, and future development site, located at 600 West Lionshead
Circle/Lot 1, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 3.
5
Due to a predetermined conflict of interest (Vail Resorts affiliation) Mark Gordon recused
himself from the item and left the Council Chambers. Public Works Director Greg Hal{
provided an overview of the 2007 Town of Vail Transportation Master Plan. Then
Community Development Director George Ruther summarized the history of the
LionsHead Redevelopment Master Plan (LRMP). Ruther expfained the PEC would use •
the LRMP as a guideline for making a recommendation on the North Day Lot proposal.
On April 14, 2008, the PEC forwarded a recommendation of denial to Council for
amendments outlined in Resolution 9, Series of 2008. The purpose of the amendment would establish the basis by which the Noith Day Lot could be redeveloped with an
employee housing project, transportation center, and future development site. Ruther
said, "The circumstances of loading and delivery have changed since the LRMP was last
visited (through the inclusion of the loading bay at the Arrabelle at Vail Square). "Have
conditions changed that public transportation improvements are no longer needed in
LionsHead...lt is staffs belief the answer to that question is no." Cleveland clarified
Council was only addressing the LRMP specifically. Vail Resorts Chief Executive Officer
Rob Katz stated, "Unless we have a meeting sometime in the next week this project is
not going to go anywhere...As the applicant, we have no disagreement with the issues
George raised." Hitt said, °Transportation on that site seems more important than being
able to make 51 °!o of the site condominiums...l don't even think I need to worry about
" amending the LRMP.° Rogers said skier drop-off needed to be addressed so Vail could
regain its No.1 ski resort status. Hitt asked if the Arrabelle at Vail Square's loading and
delivery bays were effective. Ruther answered it was too soon to tell as the bays had
only recently become available. Daly reiterated that skier drop=off and employee housing
were town priorities. Cleveland said he would not support moving the transportation
center to the LionsHead~ parking structure or the West LionsHead area. "It's important
that transportation, skier drop-off, shuttle drop-off be as close to the LionsHead gondola
as possible...Using all of the ground level floor plate for transit meets all of the LRMP
goals...The transportation function is primary on the ground level...l am completely
supportive of getting rid of the loading and delivery ...ls this the place for a transit center,
skier drop off, shuttle center...This is a site that has been recognized in the LRMP as a
place for transportation for the past ten years." Katz said, "We have no issue with
having a transit center on the site, we'll build it...l'm concemed about the complexity of
the site and secondly, the cost." Katz expressed concern that the complexity of the
project given time constraints imposed by a failure to meet requirements set forth in the
Core Site Development Agreement made the project very difficult. "Our company needs
active dialogue with the Council to make this project a success." Zemler said staff would
return on May 6 with costs. * He also said perhaps Council would revisit the dates
currently imposed on Vail Resorts. Daly said he believed the town was working toward
simplification rather than making it more complex. Landmark Condominium Association
representative Geoff Wright said the town has not included the Landmark in the most
recent planning process as much as had occurred in the past. He said both the
Landmark and Wesfinrind condominium association shouid be intimately involved in the
transit center planning processes. He urged Vail Resorts to remove the current deed
restriction on the LionsHead parking structure so a transit center for large buses could
be built there. Westwind manager Steve McDonald asked Council to look elsewhere
when considering a transit center. Representing the Vail Homeowners Association, Jim
Lamont said we are looking clearly at transit as the only alternative to parking in the
future. He then said the parcel had historically been contemplated as a transit location.
Daly moved to approve the resolution with modifications, with Hitt seconding. Ruther
clarified the modifications outlined by Daly precluded any future development other than
6
:
a transit center on the bottom plate of the parcel and eliminated a loading and delivery
component. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
Gordon returned to the Council Chambers.
The eleventh item on the agenda was Resolution No. 10, Series 2008; a Resolution
Approving the Intergovemmental Agreement and a Lease Between the Town of Vail,
Colorado and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Regarding Sediment
Control Storage Areas on the North Side of Interstate 70 at Approximately M.P. 178-179.
Public Works Director Greg Hall reported town and CDOT were working toward
expanding the sand storage berm in East Vail along the north side of I-70, along Tract A
of the W 13'' filing (Bald Mountain Area). The work will be completed in finro phases
over the next five to ten years. CDOT will be responsible for the construction of the East
phase that is within the CDOT right-of-way and Tract A; and the town and CDOT will be
jointly responsible for the West phase that is within CDOT right-of-way, Tract A, and an
existing easement granted by the Bald Mountain Town Home Association to the town.
The purpose for the berm is to provide sand storage as wetl as providing aesthetic and
noise mitigation to the surrounding neighbors. During a pause for public commen#, Bald
Mountain neighborhood resident Stephen Connolly questioned the extended timing of
the CDOT easement. Representing the Vail Homeowners Association, Jim Lamont
clarified the town continued to work with and meet the expectations of the affected
neighborhood. Newbury moved to approve the resolution with Rogers seconding. The
motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The twelfth item on the agenda was Resolution No. 12, Series 2008, a Resotution
Amending the Town of Vail Public Way Permit Fee Schedule.
Town Engineer Tom Kassmel told Council that on April 4, 2006, Council adopted
Resolution No. 5, Series 2006 changing the Public Way Permit Fee Schedule from a flat
fee to a rate schedule which is relative to the impact of the street cut or use of the public
way and which may be amended from time to time by resolution. The proposed
amended Public Way Fee Schedule provides a Core Area Heated Streetscape fee and
raises the application fee from $50 to $100. Newbury moved to approve the resolution
with Rogers seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The thirteenth item on the agenda was the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 7, Series
of 2008, an Ordinance making supplemental appropriations to the Town of Vail General
Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real estate Transfer tax Fund, Heavy Equipment fund, and
Dispatch Services Fund of the 2008 Budget for the Town of Vail Colorado; and
authorizing the expenditures of said appropriations as set forth herein.
Budget and Financial Reporting Manager Kathleen Halloran introduced the first
supplemental. Daly then suggested a few small changes in the process. He asked for a
way to track a projecYs original budget. He also recommended the item be tabled so
rollovers on maintenance-related projects cduld be more clearly identified. Public Works
Director Greg Hall explained the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund was not made
up of only capital items as some maintenance and operations come out of the budget as
well. Daly requested that in future supplementals, maintenance and operating items be
excluded from "roll-overs," but if additional funds are needed they be specifically

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council .
FROM: Community Development Department and Chamonix Advisory Committee
DATE: May 6, 2008
SUBJECT: Information Update
Staff: Chamonix Site Master Plan Advisory Commitfee
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to:
1. Present an overview of progress made by the consuttant team to develop
three (3) site plan concepts ("options") for the Chamonix site;
2. Provide an overview of the Advisory Committee meeting held April 11, 2008
to review and comment on the three options; and
3. Provide an update regarding the next Advisory Committee and neighborhood
meetings scheduled on May 7, 2008.
II. BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2008, the Vail Town Council re-affirmed, with modifications, the
planning goals and design parameters originally adopted by the Council on
January 22, 2008, for the Chamonix Site Master Plan project. Also at the March
4, 2008, meeting, the Council authorized Staff and the consultant team to
proceed with conceptual design work for the Chamonix Site.
On April 11, 2008, the Chamonix Site Advisory Committee held a meeting to
review three (3) preliminary site plan concepts (Attachment A) for the site and
provided feedback and suggestions to the Staff and consultant team. The
Committee favored a combination of "Option 2" and portions of "Option 3".
Comments from that meeting include:
• In any fire station design scenario, the design must account for backing
of equipment and the associated noise;
• Use positioning of the fire station building and associated fire
departmenUTown employee housing to "wrap" or enclose equipment
- bays and to provide a better visual and noise barrier between the fire
station, the adjacent Shell Station and the adjacent neighborhood;
• Consider an access control gate to separate residential from emergency
services uses and traffic circulation;
• Reduce or eliminate new driveway access points on Chamonix Lane;
• Must consider CDOT access standards and the potential need to request
a variance from CDOT for access points less than 150' form the round-
about;
• Align internal circulation access point on Chamonix Road, to be across
from the existing driveway at First Bank;
• Ensure that proper turning radii is provided within the fire station portion '
of the site for emergency services vehicles;
• Explore locating fire department housing within a third story of the fire
station, rather than in a separate building, to preserve more buildable
space on the site for residential uses and open space/common areas;
• Option 3("Parking Garage Option") may be too dense/urban and cost
prohibitive; _
• Option 3, or a combination of Options 2 and 3, may be desirable if
redesigned to accommodate better separation between lower density
duplex structures and higher density town-home and condominium
buildings;
• Study revising plans to better integrate higher density, for-sale residential
units with fire department/Town employee housing and to provide a
better visual and noise barrier between the fire station, the adjacent Shell
Station and the adjacent neighborhood;
• Concepts should include more "New UrbanisY" design concepts to
minimize auto-oriented design solutions (such as solutions presented in
Option 3).
Staff traveled to Aspen on April 17, 2008, to work with the consultant team to
refine ideas and revisions generated from the Committee's comments. .
On May 7, 2008, Staff will host the next Committee meeting, to be followed by an
evening neighborhood meeting, to review the most recent, revised site plan
concepts. The intent of these meetings will be to gain feedback from stakeholder
groups prior to commencing with any further design development of plans.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
No action is requested or required of the Council.
MEMORANDUM .
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 6, 2008
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2008, an ordinance amending
Chapters 12-23, Commercial Linkage and 12-24, Inclusionary
Zoning, Vail Town Code, to establish standards and criteria related
to mitigating employee housing requirements, and setting forth
details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Town of Vail,
Represented by Nina Timm, Housing Coordinator
Planner: Bill Gibson
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST , The applicant, Town of Vail, is requesting a first reading of Ordinance No. 1,
Series of 2008, for text amendments to Chapters 12-23, Commercial Linkage .
and 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code, to establish standards and
criteria related to mitigating• employee housing requirements, and setting forth
details in regard thereto.
The Planning and Environmental Commission requested that Staff prepare text
amendments to articulate the Town's prioritization of the employee housing
mitigation methods and to clarify the basis upon which an employee housing plan
should be evaluated. Based upon input and, direction from the Vail Local
Housing Authority at their December and February meetings, and from the Town
Council at their January retreat, and the Planning and Environmental
Commission; Staff has drafted proposed text amendments that prioritize the
Inclusionary Zoning and Commercial Linkage mitigation methods and establish a
• set of review criteria for evaluating a housing plan. Staff has taken this
opportunity fo also address numerous minor "code clean-up" items relevant to
the inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage regulations.
Since the Planning and Environmental Commission's review of the proposed text
amendments, the Town's legal council has recommended minor formatting
corrections to' specific sections of the proposed• ordinance. Staff has incorporated these formatting corrections into Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2008,
(Attachment A) which has been attached for reference.
II. BACKGROUND
At its December 11,. 2007, public hearing, the Planning and Environmental
Commission directed Staff to bring forward recommendations for amendments to
Chapters 12-23, Commercial Linkage, and 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning, to better
define the Commission's role in reviewing Employee Housing Plans and to clarify
the priority of the five approved mitigation methods.
1
' The Vail Locaf Housing Authority discussed the Commission's request at their
December 12, 2007, meeting. The Authority determined that the on-site
mitigation method is the highest priority and forwarded a recommendation that
one-half the required employee housing mitigation be required on-site for
new construction and demo/rebuild projects.
The Commission discussed this recommendation and numerous other issues
related to employee housing at its January 14, 2008, public hearing.
At the Town Council's January 22, 2008, Council Member retreat and again at ifs
subsequent public hearings, the Town Council indicated that providing on-site
units is the most desirable employee housing mitigation method and fee-in-lieu is
the least desirable method, except when necessary to address partial
requirements.
The proposed amendments to the Commercia! Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning
standards were discussed by the Planning and Environmental Commission at its
February 11, 2008 public hearings.
The proposed amendments to the Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning
standards were discussed by the Vail Local Housing Authority at its February 14,
2008, meeting. .
On February 25, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission voted 43-0
(Gunion,'Proper, and Viele opposed) to focward a recommendation of approval,
with modifications, for text amendments to the Commercial Linkage and
Inclusionary Zoning employee housing mitigation requirements.
In summary, the Vail Local Housing Authority and the Planning and
Environmental Commission are both recommending that no less than one-half
of the employee housing mitigation requirements for new and demo/rebuild
projects be provided by "on-site units".
The remaining one-half (1/2) of the emptoyee housing requirements for such
. projects, and the entire requirement for all other types of applicable development
projects, would be addressed through the any combination of the five available
mitigation methods (i.e. on-site units, conveyance of property on-site, off-site
units, conveyance of property off-site, payment of fee-in-lieu). Developers will be
allowed to select the mitigation method, or methods, that are most advantageous
to their circumstances when presenting an Employee Housing Plan to the Town
. for review. Numerous clarifications and "clean-ups" to the Commercial Linkage, Inclusionary
Zoning, and severalother related regulations have also been incorporated into
the proposed ordinance. The "clean-ups" do not create any substantive policy
changes. On March 18 and April 15, 2008, the Town Council held work sessions to discuss
the proposed amendments. • -

III. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
The criteria outlined in Section VI of Staff's March 10, 2008, memorandum to the
Planning and Environmental Commission shall be used as the principal criteria in
evaluating the merits of the proposed special develT ment district. The following
is an excerpt from the Section VI of Staff's March 10 memorandum:
"1. The extent to which the texf amendment furthers the general and
specific purposes of the Zoning Regulations; and
These regulations were adopted in April, 2007, and mitigation was
intended to provide developers with prescribed employee housing
mitigation requirements. As implementation of the requirements has
occurred, it appears there is a need to clarify requisite Employee Housing
Plan expectations to achieve desired outcomes as well as better define
certain aspects contained within the regulations.
Staff believes the proposed text amendments clarify the existing
regulations and wiU continue to further the general and specific purposes
of Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Chapters 12-23, Commercial Linkage
and 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning.
Sfaff believes the proposed text amendments are consistent with the
Zoning Regulation's general purpose `to promote the coordinated and .
harmonious development of the Town in a manner fhat will conserve and
enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort
and residential community of high quality. "
Staff believes the proposed text amendments are consistent with the
Zoning Regu/afion's specific purposes:
"3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
, circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriate/y located off street
parking and loading facilities.
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and
economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship
among land uses, consistent with municipal development
objectives.
, 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable
community.
Staff also believes the proposed text amendments are consistent with the
purposes of the Employee Housing, Commercial Linkage, and
Inclusionary Zoning chapters of the Zoning Regulations that state:
. 3
"92-93-9: Purpose: The town's economy is largely tourist based
and the health of this economy is premised on exemplary service
for Vail's guests. Vail's ability to provide such service is dependent
upon a strong, high quality and consistently available work force. .
To achieve such a work force, the community must work to
provide quality living and working conditions. Availability and
affordability of housing plays a critical role in creating quality living
. and working condifions for the community's work force. The town
recognizes a permanent, year round population plays an importanf
role in sustaining a healthy, viable communify. Further, the fown
recognizes its role in conjunction with the private sector in
ensuring housing is availa6le. u
"12=23-1: Purpose and Applicability.• The purpose of this chapter is
to ensure. that new commercial development and redevelopment
in the town provide for a reasonable amount of employee housing
to mitigate the impact on employee housing caused by such
commercial development and redevelopment." "12-24-1: Purpose and Applicability: The purpose of this chapter is
to ensure that new residential development and redevelopment in
the town of Vail provide for a reasonable amount of employee
housing to mitigate fhe impact on employee housing caused by
such residenfial development and redevelopment."
. 2. The extent fo which the text amendment wou/d better implement and
better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goa/s,
objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Pian and
is compatib/e with. the development objectives of the Town; and
As Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning only address a small
percentage of net new employees generated by new development and
redevetopmenf it is imperative that each development mitigate a portion
of its own employee housing requirements on-site. Looking into the
future there will be no alternatives to providing employee housing within
the Town of Vaii.
, As Staff began to analyze fhe five approved mitigation methods to
understand what modffications may be required to "equalize" the value of
each of the mitigation methods it became apparent that if the community
preferred on-site mitigation this was only going to be achieved by
requiring on-site mitigation. lnitially Staff looked at small incremental
'increases to each of the methods in order, . to create parity. Through
analysis it became apparent that ensuring on-site is the preferred
' mitigation method and on par with fee-in-lieu or other mitigation methods,
dramatic changes would be necessary and would likely still not create the
desired on-sife mifigafion outcome. A copy of this analysis has been
attached for reference (Attachment 8).
/n arder fo ensure on-site mitigation, fhe draft Ordinance reflects the
policy direction of the Housing Authority and the Commission that no less
than one-half (912) of the required mitigation be provided on-site for new
4
consfruction and demo-rebuilds. The draft Ordinance also weights the
remaining methods of mitigation to further incent on-site employee
housing mitigation.
To address developer's concerns about predictability, the proposed
amendments provide developers with the most predictable employee
housing review process possible. It. clearly identifies and requires the
community's most valued employee housing mitigation method while
allowing relief from the requirement if.-
• It would be contrary to the intent and purpose of the applicable
zone district;
• It would be contrary to the goals of the applicable elements of the
Vail Comprehensive Plan and the Town's development objectives;
or • There are unique conditions or circumstances that exist on fhe site
or structure.
Codifying this specific on-sife requirement creates a c%ar understanding
for developers of the Town's goals and expectations related to employee
housing mitigation. This specific requirement is also the most effective
and efficient means available to the Town to achieve its stated goal of
creating on-site employee housing mitigation units. ,
Based upon Staff's analysis comparing the various available mitigation
methods (see Attachment 8), it does not appear that "Weighting" the
various methods can effectively ensure developer will choose to construct
on-site units as desired by the Town. Given, the assumptions in the
analysis, off-site mitigation would need to be weighted by increasing the
mitigation rate to more than 100% of the net new employees to effectively
incentivise developers to construct on-site units. Such a requirement
would be considered illegal, since mitigation can not be required for more
than any net new impact. Additionally, a solely incentive based regulation
would not provide developers with clear expectations related to employee
housing mitigation requirements.
To address the Commission's request for flexibility, a finding is proposed
to provide a developer relief from the on-site unit mitigation requirement
• That the method of mitigation proposed better achieves the intent
of this Chapter than fhe on-site mitigafion method.
Current employee housing regulations include two substantial bonuses to
developers for constructing on-site EHUs:
• EHUs are excluded from the calculation of density (i.e. the
maximum allowable number of units per acre) • EHUs are excluded from the calculation of GRFA (i.e. the
maximum allowable floor area)
5
The Commission has requested additional incentives be provided
including: building bulWmass incentives (i.e. increase in building height)
reductions in setbacks, increases in site coverage, etc. will conflict with
the Town's adopted. master plans and the purposes of many zone
districts.
Staff believes allowing variations to the Town's adopted parking
standards for on-sife EHUs will create substantial incentives for
developers to provide on-site employee housing units. A reduction in the
required parking for an on-site EHU is also consistent with the
recommendations of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
The following is a list of additional incentive options for consideration;
however, Staff does not believe any of these options will have a
' signiricant affect upon a developer's decision to construct on-site EHUs.
• Waivers of building permit. fees related to on-site employee
housing units.
• Rebate of the Construction Use Tax related to the construction of
on-site employee housing units.
• Rebate of Planning Fees related to a development project that
provides on-site employee housing units. .
• Waivers of the Recreation Fees related to on-site employee
housing units.
e Waivers of the Trafric Impact Fees generated by the on-site
employee housing units. Staff believes the proposed text amendments would better implement and
better achieve the following adopted goa/s, objectives and policies of the
Vail Land Use Plan:
"5.1. Addifional residential growth should continue , to occur
primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas
where high hazards do not exist.
5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available
through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives; provided by
' the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place '
demands for a full range of housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and
upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be
accommodated at varied sites throughout fhe community."
Staff believes the proposed text amendments would better implement and
better achieve the following adopted goals, objectives and policies of the
Vail Village Master Plan: .
.6 _
"Goal #2: To foster a strong tourist indusfry and promote year-
around economic hea/th and viabilify for the village and for the
community as a who/e. "
"2.6 Objective:
Encourage the development of affordable housing units
through the efforts of the private sector.
2. 6.1 Policy:
Employee housing; units may be required as part of any
new or redevelopment project requesting density over that
allowed by existing zoning.
2.6.2 Policy:
Employee housing, shall be developed with appropriate
restrictions so as to insure their availability and affordability
to the /ocal work force.
2.6.3 Policy:
The Town of Vail may facilitafe in the development of
affordable housing by providing limited assistance."
Staff believes the proposed text amendments would better implement and
better achieve the following adopted goals, objectives and policies of the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan:
"4.1 Housing
Recent community surveys and grass-roots planning efforts such
as Vail Tomorrow have identified the lack of locals housing as the
mosf critical issue facing the, Vail community.
4.8.4 Parking for Employee Housing
The unit-to-parking space ratio for employee housing should be
reduced to maximize the housing opportunities in west Lionshead.
During the master p/anning process, the Vail Town Council toured
several employee housing complexes in Keystone Resort that
averaged .25 cars per bed (one parking space per four-bed unit).
Most of these comp/exes at Keystone are removed from the core
and depend on a bus transit system to carry employees to and
from work. Yef, Keystone property managers have not observed
a parking sho?tage. Likewise, at the Rivers Edge employee
housing project in Avon, a parking ratio of .75 cars per bed has
been more than adequate and the parking lot is underutilized.
4.9.3 Policy Based Housing Opportunities
The first means of implementing housing goa/s in Lionshead is
through policy based reguirements such as the employee
' generation ordinance currently being pursued by the Vail Town
Council. As required by a future ordinance, all development and
redevelopment projects, as a prerequisite to project approval,
should provide housing for employees generated and to the extent
' possible this housing should be located in the Lionshead area. "

Staff believes the proposed text amendments would better implement and
better achiev`e the following adopted goals, objectives and policies of the
Vai! 20120 Strategic Plan:
"Land Use Goal #4: Provide for enough deed-restricted housing
for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies,
regulations and publicly initiated development.
. Actions/Strategies
Update housing regulations to include more zone districts
that are required to provide employee housing.
• Redevelop Timber Ridge to increase number of employee
beds.
• Use employee housing fund for buy-downs and other
programs that will increase the number of employees living
within the tawn.
• Address the zoning regulations to provide more incentives
for developers fo buiid employee housing units."
_"Housing Goal: The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing
as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs
. and keeps more employees living in the town, and will, provide for
enough deea?-restricted housing for at least 30 percent of fhe
workforce through policies, regulafions and publicly initiafed
development.
, Actions/Strategies:
, • Research and propose next steps for strengthening the
town's inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage
policies, including requirements for more zone districts. "
Staff believes the proposed text amendments would better implement and
. better achieve the following adopted goals, objectives and policies of the
. Eagle County Housing Needs Assessment:
"Develop county-wide commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning
programs. Requiring_ employers to provide housing for employees '
is supported by neariy 70% of the county's residents. Well over
half support requiring that a percentage of all new homes be
, designated for employee housing.
Develop affordable housing throughout the county except for
seasonal workers, whose housing should be concentrated in Vail. "
3. The extent fo which the text amendment demonstrates how
conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the
subject regulation and haw the existing regulation is no longer
. appropriate;or is inapplicable; and
Staff believes the proposed text amendments are a response to the
actual implementation of new regulafions adopted in April, 2007. These ,
regulations allow. developers full discretion to choose which existing
8
employee housing mitigation works best to their advantage. However, •
the results of these existing regulations are not achieving the Town's
stated goals and priorities of creating additional on-site units. A system of
incentives, or disincentives, has been created to encourage the
construction of more on-site units. This approach further complicates the
Commercial Linkage and lnclusionary Zoning regulations and stiU does
not ensure the community will achieve its housing goals. Therefore, the
Housing Authority's recommendation that half fhe employee housing
mitigation requirement be provided on-site has been incorparated into the
draft Ordinance.
Staff believes the proposed text amendments are necessary to more
clearly state the community's goa/ of creating on-site employee housing
and are necessary to achieve this goal in a simple and direct manner.
4. The exfent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among /and use regulations
consistent wifh municipal development objectives.
Employee Housing Units are allowed in 23 of the Town's 26 zone
districts. They are only prohibited in Heavy Service (the three existing
gas station sites) and two of the open space districts (Natural Area
Preservation District and Outdoor Recreation District). As permitted or
conditional uses, the construction of Employee Housing Unifs in these 23
, zone districts is, encouraged and is inherently consistent with the Town's
deve/opment objectives.
As described in criteria #1 and #2 above; employee housing requirements in general and employee housing regulations specifically related to on-
site units are consistent with the goals and objectives of fhe Town's
Zoning Regulafions, Land Use Plan, Vail Village Master Plan, Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, 20120 Strategic Plan, and the Eagle County
Housing Needs Assessment.
Staff believes the proposed text amendments will confinue to facilitate
and provide a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land
use regulations that are consistent with the Town of Vail master plans and
development objectives.
5. Such other factors and criteria the Commission and/or Council
deem applicable to the proposed text amendment.
Staff has modified the draft Ordinance since the Commission's last public
hearing on February 25, 2008, to reflect input from the Housing Authority,
the Commission, and Staff. "

Section 24. Chapter 12-23, Commercial Linkage, of the Vail Town Code is hereby
. amended as follows (text to be deleted is in s#dkethFgUgh, text that is to be added is bold):
12=23-1: PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY:
A. The purpose of.this Chapter is to ensure that new commercial
development and redevelopment in the Town provide for a reasonable amount of
employee housing to mitigate the impact on employee housing caused by such
commercial development and redevelopment. ~
B. Except as provided in Section 12-23-5, this Chapter shall apply to
all new commercial development and redevelopment located within the following
zone districts: 1. High Density Multiple Family (HDMF);
2. Public Accommodation (PA);
3. Fublic Accommodation 2 (PA2);
4. Commercial Core 1 (CC1);
5. Commercial Core 2 (CC2);

15. Parking District (P); and • 16. Specia! Development (SDD).
C. The requirements of this Chapter shall be in addition to all other ~
requirements of this Code.
D. When any provision of this Chapter conflicts with any other
provision of this Code, the provision of this Chapter shall control.
23 Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2008, first reading
12-23-2: EMPLOYEE GENERATION AND MITiGAT10N RATES:
A. The employee generation rates found in Table 23-9, Employee Generation Rates by Type of Commercia! Use, shall be applied to each type of
use in a commercial development. For any use not listed, the Administrator shall
determine the applicable employee generation 'rate by consulting the Town's
currenfi nexus study. : .
TABLE 23-1
. EMPLOYEE GENERATION RATES BY TYPE OF COMMERCIAL USE ' Type of Use Employee Generation Rates
Retail Store/Persanal • 2.4 Employees per 1,000 feet af new
" Service/Repair Shop net floor area
Business Office and Professional 3.2 Employees per 1,000 feet of new
Office (excluding Real Estate net floor area
Office)
Accommodation UniULimited 0.7 Employees per net new units
Service Lodge Unit
Real Estate Office 5.1 Employees per 1,000 feet of new
. net floor area
Eating and Drinking 6.75 Employees per 1,000 feet of
Establishment new net floor area
Conference Faci{ity 0.8 Employees per 1,000 feet of new
net floor area
Health Club 0.96 Employees per 1,000 feet of '
new net floor area '
Spa 2.1 Employees per 1,000 feet of new
net floor area
B. If an applicant submits competent evidence that the employee ,
generation rates contained in Table. 23-1 or the nexus study do not accurately
reflect the number of employees generated by the proposed commercial
development or redevelopment and the Administrator finds that such evidence
warrants a deviation from those employee generation rates, the Administrator
shall allow for such a deviation as the Administrator deems appropriate.
C. Each commerciai development or redeveiopment shall mitigate its
impact on employee housing by providing EHUs for twenty percent (20%) of-the
employees generated, pursuant to Table 23-1, 'or the nexus study, in accordance
with the requirements of this Chapter. 24 Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2008, first reading
For example, for a development proposing 2,500 square.feet of new net floor
area for an eating and drinking establishment, the equation would be as foliows:
((2,500 square feet = 1,000 square feet) x(6.75)) = 16.875 new employees generated
16.875 new employees generated x 20% = 3.375 employees to be
housed
12-23-3: SIZE AND BUILDING REQUIREMENTS:
A. Table 23-2, Size of . Employee Housing Units, establishes the
minimum size of EHUs and the number of employees that can be housed in

provided on-site within Area A, instead of 84 spaces, reported in the first reading.
The primary reason for the change is that Staff did not count the `on-site' spaces
for Liftside, Cascades and Westhaven Condominiums in the 84 spaces reported
in the first reading.
To further clarify Table 1, Ordinance No. 10; Series of 2008; Staff separated the
uses providing 'on-site' parking from the uses requiring parking in the parking
structure. Furthermore, Staff removed the 'on-site' parking from the multiple-use
credit equation due to the fact that the multiple use credit only applies to `A single
1
f ; +
~
parking facility serving more than one use,"according to Section 12-10-12 Credit
For Multiple Use Parking Facilities, Vail Town Code, and the uses providing `on-
site' parking are not served by the parking facility. The results of the changes
remain the same; that the proposed additions do not require construction of
additional parking spaces and that there is a surplus of spaces within the parking
structure (42 surplus spaces). Staff has amended Table 1, Ordinance No. 10,
Series of 2008 to refVect the changes iisted above (Page 16, Attachment B).
In researching the multiple-use credit; Staff found a statement within the
Ordinance that no longer applies. To reduce confusion and update the
information, Staff is recommending the following statement be stricken, "A 17.5
percent mixed use credit per the Town of Vail parking code, has been applied to
. 'the total number of required parking spaces in the Cascade structure. "(Page 25,
Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2008). The 17.5 percent credit applied in the past
when different uses existed within Area A. Howeyer, based on current
information and Section 12-10-12 Credit For Multiple Use Parking Facilities, Vail "
Town Code, the multipie-use credit is 10%, as reflected in Table 1, Ordinance
_No. 10, Series of 2008.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Deyelopment Department recommends that the Town Council
. approve, with conditions the request subject to the following conditions:
Should the Council choose to approve the request, the Department of

RE: Avalanche hazard study for 4768 Meadow Drive, East Vail.
Deaz Bill,
I am submitting to you a new geological avalanche hazard study provided by William Klauber, PE
for the determination of the classification of hazard levels at 4768 Meadow Drive in East Vail. He has
redefined the King Arthurs Court Avalanche Chute to reduce the high hazard red zone azea.
The owners of 4768 Meadow Drive want to remodel their home for more gara.ge space and a
swimming pool. The pool may act as a deflection wall at the avalanche side of the home and the garage
expansion will expand the footprint of the home to the West as illustra.ted in the report. The design has not
been finalized so the report offers concept areas only. The actual design configuration will be determined
after the Town of Vail has accepted the new Geologic hazard study. ,
The owners of this home are excited to proceed with the remodel and look forwazd to your input
on the proposed design. _
Thank You,
/L:arry. Deckazd A.I.A.

Re: Lot 1, Block 7, Bighorn 5th Addition, 4768 Meadow Drive, Vail, Colorado
Dear Mr Deckard:
At your request, we have perFormed an avalanche hazard study regarding the addition of a
garage structure to the west side of the existing house on subject property. Following are the
results of that study, which addresses only the garage addition.
SUMMARY
The addition falls within the blue zone of the King Arthurs Court avalanche chute, as redefined
by Mr Art Mears in lanuary 2003. An avalanche diversion berm and/or structural fence shall be
required between the garage and the south and west sides of the lot, exposed garage walls
along the south and west sides shall be designed for a direct impact pressure of 400 psf or a
reduced oblique impact pressure pursuant to actual design, and the garage roof shall be
designed to resist uplift and to accommodate a snow load of 200 psf. ,
BACKGROUND
The subject property is located near the bottom of the King Arthur's Court avalanche chute. .
Earlier Vail avalanche maps, circa 1973-1976, had placed almost the entire properly within the
high hazard Red Zone. A detailed study by Hydro-Triad in 1975-1979 defined the red zone to
encompass only the western portion of the property and the blue zone to include most of the
remainder. In 2003 the avalanche hazard zone was locally modified by Mr Arthur Mears, PE, to
, shift the avalanche hazard zones slightly to the west and to significantly decrease the size of the
Red Zone. The effect of that modification for this property was to remove the property from
the Red Zone entirely, and to extend the Blue Zone only to the west edge of the existing
structure. This allows building to occur in the western portion of the lot with appropriate
design mitigation.
THE DESIGN AVALANCHE The watershed in which the King Arthurs Court avalanche chute is located extends from the top
of the ridge at 11,100 foot elevation to Gore Creek at 8,520 foot elevation, a drop of 2580 feet
over a maximum total distance of approximately 6500 feet. Evidence of avalanche effects on
Deckard/4768 Meadow Drive/Avalanche Hazard Page 2
vegetation extends as high as 10,600 foot elevation on the west side of the basin, the lee side
from the prevailing westerly winds. Destruction of vegetation extends from that point
downward along a broad hillside into a narrow chute, thence downward along the stream to a
point just above the alluvial fan on which several houses are situated. Below 9200 foot
elevation the grade decreases substantially', around 8700 foot elevation the canyon makes a
radical jog to the northwest for 250 to 300 feet, and at 8600 foot elevation the canyon opens
out onto the top of the alluvial fan, after which any avalanche would be laterally unconfined
and the fan topography would tend to spread it out laterally.
It is clear from vegetation analysis that most avalanches in this chute are rather narrow,
laterally confined, fairly shallow, follow the stream course, and do not reach the fan at all. At
the creek diversion to the northwest, there is a clear diversion of the avalanche paths in the
same northwest direction, with avalanches stopping before they reach the stream segment
which diverts back to the north. There is evidence of some overtopping of the narthwest-
trending diversionary ridge at this point, but relatively minor in extent and with only incomplete
damage to trees. The straight-ahead path directly north to the alluvial fan is blocked by a
relatively dense forest of older trees, indicating that events large enough to fill the diverting
valley and proceed directly north overtopping the diverting ridge are infrequent in their
occurrence.
The King Arthur's Court avalanche chute was defined as a potential hazard area by the town of
Vail, requiring avalanche studies to determine acceptable building areas and structural design
parameters. Predicted impact pressures greater than 600 psf or predicted recurrence intervals
less than 25 years define a Red Zone, within which building is not allowed. Predicted impact
pressures less than 600 psf and a predicted recurrence interval greater than 25.years define a
Blue Zone, for which engineering review is required and structural mitigation may be required.
The first study of the chute was perFormed by Hydro Triad, Ltd., in the 1975-1979 period. This
study hypothesized a major avalanche from top of ridge straight across the diversionary ridge at
8700 feet and onto the fan. It identified the red zone as extending across much of the west half
of the subject property and the blue zone as encompassing most of the remainder of the
property including the house area. In a letter to the owner of the subject property in 1982,
Hydro Triad recommended an oblique design impact pressure of 250 psf with an earth berm of
unspecified design. In 2003 Mr Arthur Mears, PE, perFormed an avalanche engineering study for the owner of the
adjacent lot. Mr Mears used a regression analysis of extreme Colorado avalanches with known
runouts combined with local terrain features and observations of major local avalanches to
determine a slightly reduced runout limit for the KAC 100 year design-magnitude avalanche.
Using the new runout limit, he then used an avalanche dynamics model to redefine the Red and
Blue hazard zones. The redefined red zone now extends to approximately the same elevation
as the southwest corner of the subject property, but slightly to the west, and does not impact
the subject property at all. The redefined blue zone extends through the western portion of
Deckard/4768 Meadow Drive/Avalanche Hazard Page 3
t
the subject property, as far east as the west wall of the house. Those zones are delineated in
the attached Figure 2 from Mr Mears' report.
Reviewing Mr Mears' report, along with aerial photographs and topographic maps of the
avalanche chute, but without reproducing the entire study, the redefined zones appear to be
reasonable. The redefined 100 year design avalanche starts at a slightly lower.elevation
concordant with vegetation damage evidence, it takes into consideration the changes in course
and slope and the confined nature of the chute, and it considers the effect of the natural
diversion berm near the bottom of the chute, resulting in a more detailed understanding and
analysis of the avalanche dynamics. It is therefore used as the starting point for this report.
DESIGN PARAMETERS
Using the geometry calculated by Mears, including origin area, chute, red zone limit, blue zone
limit, and type of avalanche, a PCM model was used to estimate impact pressure at the garage
location for a dense dry flowing snow avalanche. At this location the avalanche is decelerating
and widening, and the angle of approach of the snow mass to the planned garage is estimated
to be approximately toward bearing 030 degrees, the distance past the red zone boundary to
the garage approximately 180 feet, the ftowing core depth approximately 1 to 2 feet, and the
velocity approximately 24 feet per second. The perpendicular impact pressure at this point
would be approximately 400 psf.
As drawn on the site plan, exposed portions of the south garage wall should be designed for
minimum normal loading of 400 psf and uplift and shear loading of 200 psf, while exposed
portions of the west wall designed for normal loading of 200 psf and uplift and shear loading of
200 psf. Earth sheltering integrated with the new pool and redesigned backyard landscaping
may be an appiropriate solution.
The garage roof shall be designed to resist uplift pressures of 200 psf from impacting snow
under the eaves, and its plan area shaN be designed to support a downward snow load of at
least 200 psf, or more if required by code.
An earth berm, earth bank, and/or reinforced concrete diversion fence, singly or in
combination, shall be constructed from a point 50 feet or more east of the southwest property
corner to a point directly west of the northern extent of the garage structure to deflect the bulk
of the threatening portion of the avalanche mass to the west. Stopping the flow with a
perpendicular wall would require the tallest and strongest structure, with heights exceeding 10
feet and strengths exceeding 500 psf, so an oblique orientation is recommended.
As drawn at the oblique angle shown on the site plan, toward bearing 345°, the structure would
need to extend at least 9 feet above avalanche path terrain at the south property boundary
decreasing to 7 feet at the north end. Greater heights are encouraged if landscaping permits.
Design normal loading on the fence should be for 250 psf or higher, and shear and uplift for 200
Deckard/4768 Meadow Drive/Avalanche Hazard Page 4
,
psf. Other orientations of the barrier may require different design loadings and heights. The
southwest side of any earth berm or bank shall be at a 1:1 slope or preferably steeper. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
It should be understood that the present state of the art in avalanche engineering is such that
what is called the 100 year design avalanche may actually have a recurrence interval anywhere
between 30 years and 300 years. It should also be understood that a larger 500 year design
avalanche could occur at any time, including next year if climatic conditions were unfavorable
then. Though the 100 year design avalanche should be adequately handled by this design, the
design parameters specified above may not be adequately protective against larger avalanche
events. It is therefore always prudent to build the maximum practical degree of protection into
the structure wherever possible, allowing personal and structural survival through a larger than
expected event, ratherthan building to minimum standards.
The design elements of berm and strengthened garage walls are to some degree redundant,
but not entirely. A garage excavated into the slope with concrete walls can easily be
strengthened, and an earth bank or berm seems appropriate for this site. Therefore whatever
redundancy exists is not considered wasted. If a particular design requires some modification
to these elements, then a review and some adaptation to the avalanche hazard mitigation
° design may be acceptable.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this service for you. Please call if you have any
questions.

of 2008, an Ordinance amending Chapter 12-3, Administration and Enforcement, Vail Town
Code, to establish procedures for approving public art in private development, and setting

testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Vail Town
Council approve Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2008, subject to the findings noted in Section III
of this memorandum.
111. BACKGROUND On October 22, 2007, the PEC voted to recommend denial to the Vail Town Council for
proposed text amendments that required public art for certain development projects. On
November 20, 2007, the Vail Town Council voted 4-3 to deny Ordinance No. 33, Series of
2007, which would have codified those requirements. The Vail Town Council directed Staff
to propose text amendments that only include basic requirements and procedures for review
of public art.
The current proposed text amendments are based on the previous request, with
requirements for. public art omitted, per the Town Council's request. On March 10, 2008, the
PEC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the text amendments. On April 15,
2008, the Vail Town Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2008, upon
first reading.

Dear Vail Fire Department,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
Kerry & I are so grateful for each of you.
Being a homeowner at the Ranch of the Roaring Fork for over 24 years we have so much
to be Thankful for.
In all these years we have owned our home at the Ranch we had never thought much
about a fire burning out of control on the Ranch praperly and endangering so many
homes.
We have seen high water each year and even a flood due to the Roaring Fork River over
flowing its banks 10 years ago, but never a fire.
All of you aze HERO'S to us; you answered the call and came and placed your selves in
danger to save the ranch property and the many homes that where in the greatest danger
from this fire.
When this fire jumped the river and started on the Ranch property Kerry & I where in
Denver visiting our family. That same day so many of our friends stazted to cail us about
the fire. They where very concerned for our safety and our home. .
What a horrible helpless feeling we .had when the first call came and we heard the news.
We wondered if we would have a home left to return too. All our family photos and
personal items that make a whoie Iife full of inemories where left behind.
Once more a big THANK YOU.
We have learned from this horrible experience that we as home - owners need to make a
plan and have it set in place if fire would ever endanger our home and property in the
near future.
Thank you for protecting the Ranch at the Roaring Fork and all the many homes.
Sincerely,
~
