The first item on the agenda was Citizen Input.
Vail Chamber Business Association Director Richard TenBraak introduced himself to
the Council and said he would be willing to help Council in any way.
The second item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report.
Revenue Update.
Budget and Financial Reporting Manager Kathleen Halloran reported when all sales tax
returns are received for the month of February, collections for the month are expected to
be $2,578,575, down 16% from February, 2008, and 10.4% down from the 2009 budget.
The ski season so far (Nov Feb) is down 11.3% from last ski season. Inflation as
measured by the consumer price index was flat, or .2% for the month of February
compared to prior year. Use tax collections as of March 31, 2009, total $22,889, a 23%
decrease from this time last year. Full year 2008 collections totaled $608,483.
Construction permit revenue through March 31 totals $172,584, down 56% from 2008,
which is currently pacing with the 2009 budget. The decrease in activity from the prior
year was due to major redevelopment projects underway in 2008. Major redevelopment
projects so far this year make up 76% of the total. Revenue from non-major projects is
down 51 from 2008. RETT collections through March 31, 2009, total $639,175. This
amount is a 67% decrease from last year due to both major and non-major
redevelopment projects. The 2009 budget currently assumes a 31 decrease in annual
revenues. At this time last year, the town collected over $1.1 million in RETT from sales
of major redevelopment projects such as Arrabelle, Forest Place, One Willow and the
Vail Plaza. Year-to-date 2009 has seen limited sales from major redevelopment projects
and is down 75%. Collections not related to major projects year-to-date are 23% down
from this time last year. Year-to-date daily sales (from the parking structures) total $3.1
1
�-�-1
million, up 19% from the first three months of 2008. Parking transactions are flat with
2008.
The third item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda.
a. Approval of 03.03.09 03.17.09 Vail Town Council Minutes.
Hitt moved to approve the minutes without amendments with Foley seconding. The
motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was an appeal, pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail
Town Code, of the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission's approval of
a request for a final review of an amendment to an existing conditional use permit,
pursuant to Section 12-16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
extension of an existing temporary business office conditional use permit, located at 450
East LionsHead Circle (Treetops Building)/Lot 6, Vail LionsHead Filing 1
Due to a predetermined conflict of interest (Vail Resorts affiliation) Gordon recused
himself from the item. Planner Bill Gibson then explained that on March 17, 2009,
Council called up the PEC's decision by a vote of 3-2-1 (Daly and Rogers opposed,
Gordon recused). The applicant's legal representative Ross Davis asked Council to
approve the extension as the space had not been a successful retail location and the
applicant's tenant had made substantial improvements to the building. Newbury
emphasized, "Why should Vail Resorts get special privilege Why should they be
different than anyone else?" Hitt said in light of the present economic downturn it would
be prudent to maintain the location as a temporary office space. Hitt moved to uphold
the decision of the PEC with Rogers seconding. Vail Resorts representative Chris
Jarnot said if the appeal were not approved Vail Resorts staff would spread staff
presently located at the TreeTops building into locations throughout Avon and Vail
potentially dislocating local business. Rogers said she felt it was important to maintain
vitality in LionsHead. Foley said it was perturbing that it has taken so long for Vail
Resorts to make good their Arrabelle at Vail Square development improvement
agreements. "The community expected a lot more from Vail Resorts in terms doing what
they said they would do." Cleveland said he thought it was in the best interest of the
community to keep Vail Resorts in town. The motion passed 5-1 with Newbury opposed.
Newbury explained she did not believe seven years in one location should be
considered temporary.
The fifth item on the agenda was consideration of an extension to Conditions 1 and 2 of
the North Day Lot Major Exterior Alteration conditions of approval.
Town Attorney Matt Mire asked Council if they would consider a motion to extend the
deadline from April 7 to April 21S on Conditions 1 and 2 of the North Day Lot Major
Exterior Alteration conditions of approval. Mire explained, "The town has given requisite
Major Exterior Alteration development plan approvals for developing the North Day Lot
as a multi-family residential project with employee housing units, together with site and
other ancillary or related improvements. Such approvals were rendered by the town's
PEC on February 9, 2009 (with modified conditions adopted by Council on March 3,
2009), and the DRB on February 18, 2009. The Approved Development Plans provide
for a relocation of the Skier Drop-Off Area. The conditions that the extension is being
requested for are as follows:
1. The developer shall submit a permanent easement for the public skier drop-off, in
2
4_�_?
a form satisfactory to the town, which establishes the extent, rights, and privileges
associated with the permanent nine-space, public skier drop off, for review and approval
by no later than April 7, 2009.
2. The developer shall submit a permanent easement for the potential South
Frontage Road access point into the site, in a form satisfactory to the town, as depicted
on Sheet C1.01, dated January 30, 2009, for review and approval by no later than April
7, 2009.
Due to a predetermined conflict of interest (Vail Resorts Affiliation) Gordon recused
himself from the item and left the Council Chambers. Newbury moved to extend the
deadline to May 5 with Daly seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
The sixth item on the agenda was the consideration of an extension to the Development
Improvement Agreement by and between the Town of Vail and OHP Vail One, LLC for the
redevelopment of the LionsHead Parking Structure.
Mire asked Council to consider a motion to either grant or deny a ninety (90) day extension
to the current Development Improvement Agreement (DIA) between the parties. The town
and Open Hillwood Partners (OHP) entered into a DIA on October 16, 2007 for the
redevelopment of the LionsHead Parking Structure (LHPS). The agreement set forth the
rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the proposed mixed use development,
including timeframes, deadlines and target dates for the completion of certain tasks.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the project plan was required to be submitted by
the developer for consideration by Council on or before March 15, 2008. Thereafter, the
OHP requested and was granted an extension of time, to the permitted contract date of
September 15, 2008, for review of the Project Plan. The amendment approved in
September of 2008, provides that if the deed restriction agreement had not been executed
by March 17, 2009, the agreement shall immediately terminate, unless such target date is
extended. The developer submitted a request for extension until June 15, 2009. The
Council took formal action on this item and approved a motion to table this decision at the
regular evening meeting on March 17, 2009. Mire said having the deed restriction removed
did not seem like a likely situation. He then recommended Council terminate the terms of
the original agreement made in 2007. OHP representative Mark Masinter said he did not
want the LHPS to be encumbered by the original agreement. Rogers said it was not fair to
burden the property if the redevelopment of the property was not, "Reasonably coming down
the road." Masinter said he was confident his capital partner maintained a significant
amount of wealth. Daly said it was not prudent to continue to encumber the property. "I
would like to have the ability to build this when the time is right." Masinter responded, "I don't
think I should be kicked to the curb for what is happening in a macro environment."
Gordon said the project was something the community overwhelmingly bought into."
Gordon then emphasized, "We need to keep the process honest, open and transparent.
Gordon then moved to approve the extension of the agreement with Hitt seconding.
Cleveland said he was in favor of completely refashioning an agreement and starting from
scratch. He then asked for annual compensation for OHP's right to encumber the town.
Hitt commented, "Lets get some sort of agreement in place Masinter has done everything
the Council or community has asked of him." During a pause for public comment, local
hotelier Rob Levine spoke in agreement of Hitt's comments. Former Vail Council Member
Greg Moffet stated, "OHP has been a paragon of good faith The last thing you want to do
in this economy is hang a`closed' sign on this town." Rogers said the "devil's going to be in
the details" if the new agreement gets done. The motion passed 6-1, with Daly opposed.
The matter will be seen again by Council during the second meeting in June.
3
4-1-3
The seventh item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 9, Series of
2009, an Ordinance Amending Title 1, Administration, Vail Town Code by the Addition if
a New Section, "Restitution Orders" to Chapter 4, General Penalty.
Mire explained the Vail Municipal Court requires the ability to impose restitution in criminal
actions where a defendant has been adjudged guilty for violating an ordinance of the town
for any actual damage or loss caused by the offense or infraction for which the conviction or
judgment of liability was had. The victim of a crime is entitled to be compensated for his/her
losses and hereby finds that it is in the best interest of the citizens of the town to revise the
Town Code by amending Title 1 with the addition of a new subsection, "Restitution Orders"
to Chapter 4, General Penalty. Newbury moved to approve the ordinance with Rogers
seconding. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The eighth item on the agenda was Resolution No. 9, Series of 2009, A Resolution to
Establish the 2009 Employee Housing Fee-in-Lieu for Commercial Linkage and
Inclusionary Zoning.
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.
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. For 2009, the fee-in-lieu per employee
to be housed is $329,206 and $398.65 per square foot. Rogers moved to approve the
resolution with Gordon seconding. Daly asked to create some predictability in the
resolution and suggested using a three year moving average for the median price per
square foot for Vail's real estate. Rogers said she thought the formula would give
developers the encouragement to build housing themselves as opposed to the town
having to provide it. The motion passed, 7-0.
Zemler explained Colorado Senator Mark Udall would be speaking in Vail the next
afternoon. He then suggested Udall might mention some recent legislation concerning
approved uses of leased United States Forest Service ski areas. He recommended
Council not comment but rather allow the Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST)
comment jointly. Vail Resorts representative Chris Jarnot said Vail Resorts was in favor
of the bill that was introduced. "The legislation that is currently in place really doesn't
allow for snowboarding...This is an opportunity to consider different types of activities
particularly during the summer This is a great step toward adding new great activities
on forest service land." Council agreed to follow Zemler's recommendation.
The ninth item on the agenda was Adjournment.
Newbury moved to adjourn at approximately 7:20 p.m. with Hitt seconding. The motion
passed unanimously, 7-0.

The eighth item on the agenda was the Second Reading of Ordinance No. 9, Series of
2009, an Ordinance Amending Title 1, Administration, Vail Town Code by the Addition if
a New Section, "Restitution Orders" to Chapter 4, General Penalty.
The Vail Municipal Court requires the ability to impose restitution in criminal actions where a
defendant has been adjudged guilty for violating an ordinance of the Town for any actual
damage or loss caused by the offense or infraction for which the conviction or judgment of
liability was had. The victim of a crime are entitled to be compensated for their losses and

passed unanimously, 5-0.
The ninth item on the agenda was the Review of the proposed South Frontage Road
Relocation Application (Ever Vail).
Due to a predetermined conflict of interest (Vail Resorts affiliation) Gordon recused
himself item and left the Council Chambers. The Vail Resorts Development Company
(VRDC) is proposing to realign the South Frontage Road. As this road is owned and
operated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) via CDOT, the relocation must
be approved by CDOT/FHWA. According to adopted CDOT application policies and
procedures, the relocation application must be submitted by the town as the local
government agency. All costs associated with the application and its review will be
reimbursed to the town or paid directly by VRDC. Staff emphasized that an
endorsement of the South Frontage Road relocation application submittal was not an
approval of a development plan to construct the road and was only an acknowledgment
of preliminary acceptance of the design drawings. Vail Resorts representative Tom
Miller provided an overview of the proposal. During a pause for public comment John
Moore spoke in support of the road's realignment. Daly clarified approval of the request
was not approval for the Arrabelle Project. Daly moved to approve the application with
Rogers seconding. The motion passed 3-1, with Foley voting against. Foley
encouraged not allowing any further Vail Resorts projects to proceed until commitments
from the Arrabelle at Vail Square Development Improvement Agreement are fulfilled.

referred to as the "Ever Vail" project.
Due to a predetermined conflict of interest (Vail Resorts affiliation) Gordon recused
himself and left the Council Chambers. As part of the Ever Vail project the town and CDOT
will consider an initial design for the relocation of the Vail I-70 Frontage Road from Milepost

district review process.
4. The Developer shall comply with the written final comments of the Town of Vail
Public Works Department outlined in the memorandum from the Town of Vail Public
Works Department, dated January 16, 2006, prior to submitting an application to the

V. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
The Vail Village Master Plan is based on the premise that the Village can be planned and
designed as a whole. It is intended to guide the Town in developing land use laws and
policies for coordinating development by the public and private sectors in Vail Village and in
implementing community goals for public improvements. It is intended to result in
ordinances and policies that will preserve and improve the unified and attractive appearance
of Vail Village. Most importantly, this Master Plan shall serve as a guide to the staff, review
boards, and Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and
in legislating effective ordinances to deal with such development. Furthermore, the Master
Plan provides a clearly stated set of goals and objectives outlining how the Village will grow
in the future.
The Vail Village Master Plan is intended to serve as a guide to the staff, review boards and
Town Council in analyzing future proposals for development in Vail Village and in legislating
effective ordinances to deal with such development. The most significant elements of the
Master Plan are the goals, objectives, policies and action steps. They are the working tools
of the Master Plan. They establish the broad framework and vision, but also layout the
specific policies and action steps that will be used to implement the Plan.
As noted on page 35 of the Master Plan,
"It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those
proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan.
Staff believes this statement re-emphasizes that the Master Plan is a general document
providing advisory guidelines to aid the Town in analyzing development proposals and that
full compliance is not required in order for a project to be approved.
The stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan which staff believes are applicable to this
application appear in Section VIII under staff's assessment of Criterion D.
Specific Sub- Area Details found in the Vail Village Master Plan
Mixed Use Sub Area (#1)
The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is
distinguished from the Village core by the larger sca/e buildings and by the limited
auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development
projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and
commercial activity.
There is a great deal of potential forimprovements to both public and private facilities
in the area. Among these is the opportunity to develop gateway entries to the Village
at the 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road and Meadow Drive. It is a/so a
long term goa/ to strengthen the connection between this area and the Village core
area by reinforcing the established pedestrian linkages. Pedestrianization in this area
3
6-3-3
may benefit from the development of retail infill with associated pedestrian
improvements along East Meadow Drive and the development of public access to
Gore Creek.
A significant increase in the Village's overnight bed base will occur in this sub-area
with the development of the final phase of the Vail Village Inn project. In addition,
commercial and residential/lodging development potential is identified in sub-area
concepts 3, 4, 6, and 8. The completion of these projects will essentially /eave the
sub-area "built ouY'
#1-6 Crossroads Infill
Commercial infill over new underground parking lot in conjunction with a
large public plaza with greenspace area (existing and new parking demand
to be provided on site). While configuration ofinfill may be done a numberof
ways, it is the overall intent to replace existing surface parking with
pedestrian corridors into a commercial area, as well as to provide a strong
building edge on Meadow Drive and streetscape improvements.
Improvements of the planted buffer adjacent to the Frontage Road is a/so
important. Relocation of the loading and delivery functions and entry to
parking structure is strongly encouraged to reduce traffic on Meadow Drive.
Potential to improve fire access a/so exists in the redevelopment scheme.
Special emphasis on 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2.

VIII. THE SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT MAJOR AMENDMENT REVIEW PROCESS
Chapter 12-9 of the Town Code provides for the review of a major amendment to an
established special development districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section 12-9A-1,
the purpose of a special development district is,
"To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to
promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design characterand quality of the
new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open
space areas; and to further the overall goa/s of the community as stated in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development
District, in conjunction with the property's underlying zone district, shall establish the
requirements forguiding development and uses of property included in the Special
Development District."
5
6-3-5
The Town Code provides nine design criteria which shall be used in evaluating the merits of
a major amendment to an established SDD. It shall be the burden of the applicant to
demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan complywith each of
the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a
practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. The following is a
staff analysis of the project's compliance with the nine SDD review criteria:
A. Consideration of Factors Reqardinq Special Development Districts:
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood
and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones,
identity, character, visual integrity and orientation in great detail. As this proposal for a major
amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, does not include any changes to the architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and
orientation of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on these review
points. As stated previously the major amendment proposes to increase the number of
dwelling units from 77 to 78 and the GRFA by 1,999 square feet. These changes are
accomplished within the approved bulk, mass, and height of the structure. There are no
changes to the approved heights and setbacks of the structure.
Staff believes the proposed amendments comply with this criterion.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail, the uses, activity, and density of the redeveloped Crossroads site
and its compatibility to surrounding uses and activity. In that analysis Staff showed how the
GRFA being proposed within the project was less than possible development potential of the
public plaza area in relation to the recommendations of the Vail Village Master Plan on
height and density.
The proposal to increase the number of dwelling units by one and GRFA by 1,999 square
feet modestly affects the density per acre on the site. As this proposal is to convert a single
retail space to residential within the approved bulk and mass Staff does not believe there is
a negative impact to the surrounding properties with regard to density on the Solaris project
with this amendment.
During the initial review of the Solaris project there was a great deal of discussion centered
on the uses and location of those uses within the project. There was initial concern about
the location of retail on the second floor of the project and its viability as many places and
studies have shown that it is difficult to draw pedestrians up to a second floor retail level.
Through the review process the applicant provided evidence that the second floor retail
could indeed be successful. Reasons given for the success were the are shape of the retail
allowing for better visibility, the ability to control tenant mix and locate "anchors or big draws"
on the second floor, the provision of a walkway on the second floor containing benches for
pedestrians and areas for activity generation. The particular space proposed to be
6
6-3-6
converted was highlighted as a location where an establishment on the second floorwould
have an outdoor patio which could be a food and beverage business with patrons sitting on
the deck creating excitement and vitality on the second floor. The conversion of this space
eliminates the possibility of provided for heightened activity on the second floor thus
potentially being a draw to pedestrians to explore the second floor. However, throughout the
Design Review process and the Building Permit review process changes were made and
approved which made the proposed space potentially less viable to serve in the suggested
manor. Those changes were the design of the stairs to reach the second floor retail in the
south west corner of the site and its impacts to the walkway located in front of this retail
space on the second floor. In refining the stair design to make them as inviting to
pedestrians to go up to the second floor the walkway in front of this commercial space was
cut back leaving it with eight feet of frontage on the pedestrian walkway. The proposed
design does not convert the entirety of the retail space to residential. In order to provide all
retail frontages on the second floorwalkway that portion of the space which had frontage on
the walkway was added to the adjacent retail space. The proposed residential unit does not
have any frontage on the second floor pedestrian walkway. Staff does have some concerns
about the impact of this conversion from a retail space to a residential unit which may not
generate as much "activity" on the patio which will be visible from both directions on Meadow
Drive.
In further review of the application staff identified within the adopted SDD No. 39,
Crossroads, text restricting the conversion of tenant spaces as shown on the "Approved
Development Plan" prohibiting the conversion of retail spaces to residential units. These
portions of text have been underlined on pages 2 and 5 in the draft Ordinance No. 7, Series
of 2009, attached (Attachment C) to this memorandum. Through this major amendment
proposal the applicant is requesting approval of an amended "Approved Development Plan"
which would convert one of the tenant spaces from retail to residential. If the proposed
amendments are approved the text and condition found in the Ordinance do not need to
change as the "Approved Development Plan" will no longer depict the converted space as
retail.
Employee Housing Requirements
As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing
affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through the
planning process for SDD proposals. In reviewing the proposal presented to the Planning
and Environmental Commission on January 23, 2006, for employee housing needs, staff
relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff
in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. That analysis showed a net new
generation of employees by the Crossroads project to be six (6) employee beds. In the most
recent approval of Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2007, the Town Council required a total of 22
employee beds be provided off-site in conjunction with the Solaris project. The conversion
of the proposed space from retail to residential does not generate an increase in the
employee housing generation. This is due to the recent minor amendments which were
approved to increase retail square footage by approximately 700 square feet and the
rounding up of the beds to be provided in conjunction with those applications. Furthermore
there is a lesser employee generation requirement for residential than retail resulting in a
decrease in the requirement. A more detailed explanation can be found on page 5 of the
applicant's request, which staff has reviewed and concurs with the findings.
Staff believes that the proposal does comply with this criterion.
7
6-3-7
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 12-10 of
the Vail Town Code.
As indicated in the Zoning Analysis outlined in Section VI of this memorandum, the total
number of required parking spaces for the Crossroads project is 217 spaces. The
applicants are proposing to provide a total of 304 spaces, all of which are to be provided in
the proposed underground parking structure. There are 87 additional parking spaces
proposed to be constructed above and beyond that which is required. Of these additional
parking spaces there are 81 proposed to be in a private parking club and the remaining six
(6) the applicant is proposing will serve as additional public benefit.
The applicant has not proposed any changes to the compliant loading and delivery facility
associated with the project.
Staff believes that the application complies with this criterion.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan and how they applied to the Crossroads redevelopment. As
this proposal for a major amendment will affect the number of dwelling units on the site staff
will focus on this aspect of the proposal and its impact on this criterion.
The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy
guidelines during the review process for the establishment of a special development district.
Staff has reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following goals and policies are
relevant to the review of this major amendment to SDD No. 39, Crossroads, proposal:
1.0 General Growth/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining
a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to
serve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing
developed areas (infill areas).
4.0 Village Core Lionshead
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the
existing character of each area is preserved thorough implementation
of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of Vail Village is important to the identity of Vail and
should be preserved. (scale, alpine character, small town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental quality.)
8
6-3-8
5.0 Residential
5.1 Additional 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 marketplace 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 the community.
Vail Villaqe Master Plan
Staff believes that the following stated goals of the Vail Village Master Plan are applicable to
this major amendment application:
Goa/ #2: To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-around
economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a
whole.
Objective 2.5: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and
maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better
serve the needs of our guests.
Staff believes that the application complies with all the goals and objectives of the Vail
Comprehensive plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
According to the Official Town of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps, the Crossroads development
site is not located in any geologically sensitive areas. Staff believes that the application
complies with this criterion.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions in great detail. As this proposal for a major amendment to SDD No. 39,
Crossroads, does not include any changes to the site plan, building design and location and
open space provisions of the approved structure staff has not included the discussion on
these review points.
9
6-3-9
Staff believes the proposal complies with this criterion.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the vehicular and pedestrian circulation both on-site and off-site. As
the proposed major amendment does not affect these elements staff believes the proposal
continues to comply with this criterion.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
In a memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 23, 2006,
staff discussed in detail the landscaping and open spaces included in the Crossroads
redevelopment. Furthermore the Design review Board provided their input on the refinement
of these spaces. As this proposed major amendment does not affect these elements staff
believes the proposal continues to comply with this criterion.
I. Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development
d istri ct.
The applicant is proposing to construct the project in one phase and a subdivision of the
property will be necessary to facilitate the development of the Crossroads project.
IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and
Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to
the Vail Town Council on a proposed major amendment to Special Development District No.
39, Crossroads, pursuant to Article 12-9(A), Special Development District, Vail Town Code,
to allow for an increase in the number of dwelling units from 77 units to 78 units, located at

I. Introduction
We are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No. 39, Solaris,
to allow for the addition of a dwelling unit, increasing the approval from 77 dwelling
units to 78 dwelling units. The application includes the conversion of 1,999 sq. ft. of
area previously indicated as retail space into a 1,999 sq. ft. residential condominium.
This retail space has been identified as a location that is not in a desirable location for
retail as it is located at the far end of the promenade level (second floor) with limited
exposure to the promenade walk (see Promenade Level Floor Plan below). Leasing
this space to any retailer has been difficult as a result, and retailers have identified this
space as problematic for commercial uses. Additionally, the proposed amendment
will allow Solaris to continue to be a viable project during this period of economic
hardship by converting a burdened retail area to a revenue producing residential
space.

It is important to note that various amendments have been reviewed and approved
as we have continually improved and refined the retail experience. Based on input
from potential retailers, there has been a general shifting of retail spaces, creating
some smaller retail opportunities to compliment the larger retail spaces. In the
approved minor amendment approved in December of 2008, nearly 700 sq. ft. of
commercial space was added to the plaza level.
The proposal will have little impact on revenues and vitality to the Town given the
recent minor amendment which added retail on the first floor. The proposed change
2

actually reduces impacts to employee housing and parking. The applicant is
proposing to provide 22 employee beds as a public benefit. In addition, the public
benefit package for Solaris is extensive, and includes the following:
Outdoor Ice Skating Rink for public skating in winter/water-recreation feature in
the spring and summer months;
New public plaza of '/2-acre (24,000 sq. ft.) in the heart of Town for public
gatherings and events that occupies approximately 20� of the property
controlled by the Town via a General Improvement District with guaranteed
p�blic access;
Public accessible restrooms at the pedestrian level;
Approximately 70,000 sq. ft. of new high quality retail and restaurant space at
the pedestrian level and one floor above, incl�ding a 3-screen state of the art
movie theater and 10-lane bowling alley with a sports cafe/arcade;
Relocated loading and delivery docks (Frontage Road access) with five bays
available to adjacent properties;
New streetscape and pedestrian improvements on all sides of site including
landscape medians in the South Frontage Road;
Buffering of I-70 highway noise from the pedestrian areas south of the project;
$l.l million in public art;
New heated sidewalks around the entire project;
New raised landscape median in South Frontage Road;
Reconstructed Village Center Road as a heated paver roadway;
Reconstructed Willow Bridge Road and East Meadow Drive as a heated paver
area;
Off-site employee housing to accommodate 22 employees;
Traffic impact fees to be paid to the Town to be used for Frontage Road
improvements;
Parking structure that is open to the general public for fee.
In summary, this application is necessary and warranted to:
Allow the Solaris project to move forward in a financially sustainable way
Allow the project to maintain the high-end quality finishes and not reduce the
quality to meet budgetary needs
Recognize the net change in retail is minor in the overall context of the project
Allow the project to maintain the high levels of public benefit despite the strains
placed on it by the economy.
Recognize the ineffectiveness of the retail space as currently planned

II. Detailed Project Description
A. Residential and Commercial Floor Areas
There is an increase in the approved gross residential floor area by 1,999 sq. ft.
There is a corresponding reduction in retail by 1,999 sq. ft. The minor
amendment approved in December of 2008, added 686 sq. ft. to the overall
retail area, thus making the net change less significant. There are no changes
to other uses on site. Below is a table indicating the current approval and the
2009 amendment proposal:
Use Current Approvals Proposed 2009 Net Change

Residential 198,859 sq. ft. 200,858 sq. ft. +1,999 sq. ft.
Retail 34,536 sq. ft. 32,537 sq. ft. -1,999 sq. ft.
B. Parking
Below is a table documenting the parking requirements for the proposed Solaris
redevelopment. The proposed development plan includes a total of 304
parking spaces (above the previo�s 301) to allow more p�blic to park on the
site. Due to this proposal, there is a surplus of parking on the site available to
the public and which can be used to meet any future requirements. These
extra six spaces are considered part of the public benefit of this proposal.

The proposed amendment includes an increase from 77 units to 78 units. The
site is 2.643 acres. The current approval allows for 29.13 units per acre. The
proposed increase to 78 units results in a proposed density of 29.5 dwelling units
per acre.

D. Employee Housing Plan
The original approval of Solaris was prior to the adoption of the current
employee housing regulations. As a result, all previous housing requirements
have been based on "beds" rather than the new requirements of either
"employees generated" or "employee housing area (sq. ft.)". However, due to
the increase in residential floor area and the decrease in retail floor area, a
revised employee housing plan is required to be submitted with this major
amendment application, based on the current requirements. The following
calc�lations based on Chapters 23 and 24 have been provided for reference:
Commercial Linkage:
Use Increase/Decrease Calculation Employees
Generated
Retail 1,999 sq. ft. (2.4/1000 sq. ft) *.20 mitigation rate -.96
Inclusionary Requirement:
Use Increase/Decrease Calculation Area (sq. ft.)
Required
Residential 1,999 sq. ft. *.10 mitigation rate 199.9 sq. ft.
The conversion between the commercial linkage requirement and the
inclusionary requirement generally equates to 350 sq. ft. per employee.
Therefore, the commercial linkage equates to a reduction of 336 sq. ft. of
employee housing requirement. With the inclusionary requirement of 199.9 sq.
ft., the total housing requirement equals a net reduction in the employee
housing requirement of 136 sq. ft. (or reduction of .39 employees.) The minor
amendment approved on December 24, 2008, increased the employee
housing requirement by .33 of an employee, making the current employee
housing requirement for 22.33 beds. The applicant proposed 1 additional bed
to meet this requirement, while maintaining the .67 employee credit to
accommodate any future changes. As a result of this reduction of .39
employees, the additional .33 requirement is no longer necessary, and the total
requirement now dips below the 22 beds originally required.
In 2007, an amendment was approved (Ordinance 21, Series 2007) to the Solaris
project. There was an overall reduction of parking available to commercial and
parking club users. Parking dropped from 338 spaces to 298 spaces. The Town
Co�ncil req�ired an additional 10 employee beds (total of 22 beds) to mitigate
for the loss of "public benefit" in the number of parking spaces. Since this
application results in a surplus of six parking spaces above and beyond the
parking requirements, the 10 beds imposed on the project should be reduced
accordingly. The six surplus spaces represent a 15� change which would
reduce the additional 10 bed requirement to 8.5 beds, or a total requirement of
20.5. However, the applicant is proposing to provide a total of 22 beds as a
public benefit to support this application.

III. Application Process
Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2006, approved Special Development District No. 39,
Crossroads (Solaris), to facilitate the redevelopment of Crossroads. Ordinance No. 10,
Series of 2007, approved an increase from 69 dwelling units to 75 dwelling units.
Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2007, again amended the Special Development District
No. 39 to allow for 2 additional dwelling units.
The addition of a dwelling unit is a major amendment to SDD #39. The following is the
definition of a major amendment an SDD:
MAJOR AMENDMENT (PEC AND/OR COUNCIL REVIEWJ: Any proposal to change uses;
increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation
units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved special development district (other
than "minor amendments" as defined in this sectionJ, except as provided under section
12-15-4, "Interior Conversions", or 12-15-5, "Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250
OrdinanceJ", of this title.
Ordinance 5, Series of 2006, also included a condition of approval regarding uses at
Solaris. The language of the condition states the following:
"...No space noted as retail space on the Approved Development Plan shall be
converted to a residential dwelling unit..."
This application proposed to maintain this language yet allowing for this amendment
to be approved.

IV. Special Development District Standards and Criteria
"The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility and
creativity in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to
improve the design character and quality of the new development with the Town; to
facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the
natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the
community as stated in the Vail comprehensive plan."
The following design criteria are used by the Town in the evaluation of a Special
Development District. The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan adequately
addresses each of these criteria. Below is a summary of how the project implements
each of these criteria.
A. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to
architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity,
character, visual integrity and orientation.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the design of the proposed building as a result of
this proposal.
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan was designed to be compatible
with the mountain environment and the new trends in alpine architecture.
While the site is not located in the area regulated by the Vail Village
Urban Design Guide Plan, most of the recommendations and goals of that
plan are implemented by the proposed development plan. The site is
located on the periphery of the village adjacent to the South Frontage
Road. The Vail Village Master Plan recommends taller buildings be
concentrated along the Frontage Road and step down toward the
village core. The proposed structures follow this guideline. The site is also
being redeveloped in the context of recent approvals made by the Town
on adjacent sites. The Vail Plaza Hotel and the Four Season projects have
both been approved following the same general concept of taller
buildings along the Frontage Road. However, the Crossroads project,
unlike the other two, focuses more of the building bulk and mass along the
Frontage Road in order to maintain a large public plaza (1 /2-acre in area)
along the south side of the site.
The proposed plan provides generous setbacks to adjacent development
located to the west of the site and the buildings are oriented to help
maintain views in the area. The building was also designed to appear as
several building forms. The roof ridges were turned north south to prevent
a long contin�ous roof ridge running east west across the site which has
8
Crossroads Kcdevclopmcnt
�liauriello Planning Gr�xzp, LLC
6-4-9
been fairly common on other redevelopment projects. There are no
major flat roofs proposed on this structure.
The materials are of the highest quality and include Telluride Gold stacked
stone, strip sandstone (laid on side), wood-like siding, dark zinc roof and
siding elements, timber arches and bracing, rolled logs, heavy deck rails,
planter boxes, and proportional glazing. The proposed materials are such
high quality that maintenance is minimally required. The building was
designed to stand the test of time and to respond to the Rocky Mountain
climate and harsh conditions.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible,
efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Our Analysis:
The East Meadow Drive area is characterized by residential, lodging, and
commercial development. The Vail Village Master Plan recognizes this
area of Town as mixed-use commercial and high density residential. The
proposed redevelopment plan responds to the uses already developed in
the neighborhood and also provides a high quality mix of uses along East
Meadow Drive. The proposed amendment does not change this vibrancy
along East Meadow Drive. The proposed amendment converts a second
floor ara at the very end of the retail promenade. The area is secluded
and will not operate well as a retail area due to the location and
seclusion.
C. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements
as outlined in Chapter 10 of this Title.
Our Analysis:
The proposed redevelopment plan meets or exceeds all of the parking
and loading standards found in Chapter 10 of the Zoning Regulations.
Please refer to other sections of this report and the proposed
development plan for details on parking and loading. In fact, a surplus of
6 spaces are being provided above and beyond the requirement for all
uses on the site.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and urban design plans.
Our Analysis:
The proposed Solaris redevelopment plan complies with all relevant
master planning documents and Town policies. The plan also complies
with relevant sections of the Urban Design Guide Plan; however, this plan
is not applicable to this site.

Crossroads Kcdevclopmcnt
�liauriello Planning Gr�xzp, LLC
6-4-10
E. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural
and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special
development district is proposed.
Our Analysis:
There are no nat�ral or geologic hazards existing or mapped by the Town
on the Crossroads site.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of
the community.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the above-reference design features as a result
of this proposal.
The Solaris site has been developed for more than 30 years and therefore
there are no natural features on the site and little in terms of vegetation.
The proposed project was designed to reflect mountain alpine
architecture, the alpine climate, and quality demanded by the Town. The
project was also developed around the master plan direction and the
community desire to extend a public plaza into the site. The proposed
plan includes a large open plaza (nearly 20�0 of the area of the entire
site). This 1/2-acre plaza will improve the Town's ability to accommodate
outdoor gatherings and events. The proposed landscape plan introduces
additional trees and vegetation in meaningful locations throughout the
site to improve the aesthetics of the site and the surrounding area.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off-site traffic circulation.
Our Analysis:
The proposed amendment has no impact on this criterion.
The Solaris project has been designed to address three major issues within
the Town: availability and adequacy of parking; pedestrian circulation
and gathering; and loading and delivery. A long-standing goal of the
Town is to remove loading and delivery entering the Solaris site through E.
Meadow Drive and require access directly to the South Frontage Road.
The proposed plan includes a new, enclosed loading dock facility that is
accessed directly from the South Frontage Road. The loading facility
includes five loading berths, the maximum required by the Town Code for
a mixed-use facility. The loading dock also incl�des a trash facility for the
10
Crossroads Kcdevclopmcnt
�liauriello Planning Gr�xzp, LLC
6-4-11
project. The loading dock provides access to grade on the west side of
the site to allow for use by merchants on adjacent sites.
All of the parking for the site is accessed from Village Center Road. All of
the parking is located below grade. The control gate for the site is
located deep within the garage to prevent cars from stacking into Village
Center Road. Cars exiting the facility c�e within the parking structure, thus
preventing any blocking of traffic on Village Center Road. Additionally,
there is a porte cochere along the South Frontage Road for residential
g�ests arriving at the site. The porte cochere will provide temporary pick-
up for guests and valet parking. A traffic report is included in the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for this project and, as agreed
previously in the DIA, a new letter amending the analysis will be provided
as the commercial uses are finalized. This report indicates that all
roadways adjacent to the site have excess capacity upon completion of
this redevelopment project. There is no need for major roadway
improvements due to the traffic generated for the proposed uses on-site.
There is no vehicular access proposed to the East Meadow Drive frontage
of the site.
The pedestrian improvements associated with this site are extensive.
Pedestrian access is provided on all adjacent roadways and between the
VVI project and the Solaris site. The applicant is proposing a significant
public plaza on the site that will allow for pedestrian traffic and public
gatherings.
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in
order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and
function.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the landscaping as a result of this proposal.
The Solaris project is currently developed with buildings, structured
parking, and surface parking. There is very little existing landscaping on
the property. The site is located within an urban setting which presents
challenges in terms of providing landscape areas and materials. Retail,
plaza areas and gathering places, and pedestrian walks all compete with
landscape improvements. However, the proposed redevelopment plan
for Solaris provides significant landscape materials in strategic locations
which do not interfere with retail store fronts or needed gathering spaces.
The proposed hardscape areas of the site provide an aesthetic q�ality not
currently existing in the area. The proposed development plan and
landscape plan optimize the site as a gathering space, a recreation
complex, and as a place to sit and view the surrounding urban fabric.

I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a
workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the
development of the special development district.
Our Analysis:
There are no changes to the phasing of this project as a res�lt of the
proposed major amendment. The project is proposed to be developed in
one phase.

and a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a major amendment to
Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Plaza Development, LLC, is requesting a final review of an
amendment to an existing conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-16-10,
Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, and a recommendation to the Vail Town
Council of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn,
pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, to allow for changes to the
fractional fee club unit designations within the Vail Plaza Hotel and Club, located at 16
Vail Road (Vail Plaza Hotel)/ a portion of Lots M, N, and O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing
1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Sections VII and VIII of this
memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Staff recommends denial
of both requests subject to the findings noted in Section IX of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to increase the number of dwelling units from one to two, and
to decrease the number fractional fee units by one in the Vail Plaza Hotel which is Phase
IV of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. The applicant is proposing to
convert the existing dwelling unit #507 to a fractional fee club unit and convert the
existing fractional fee club units #313 and #401 into dwelling units. Fractional fee club
unit #313 is a three bedroom unit consisting of 1,801 sq. ft. of gross residential floor area
(GRFA) and #401 is a one bedroom unit consisting of 962 sq. ft. of GRFA. The
unfinished dwelling unit #507 is currently designed as a three bedroom unit consisting of
5,150 sq. ft. of GRFA. A vicinity map (Attachment A) and the applicant's request
(Attachment B) have been attached for reference.

III. BACKGROUND
The Vail Plaza Hotel is located within the Public Accommodation District in which lodges
("buildings designed for occupancy primarily as the temporary lodging place of
individuals or families either in accommodation units or dwelling units...) are allowed as
permitted uses and fractional fee club units (an individual dwelling unit in a fractional fee
club described as such in the project documentation...'� are allowed as conditional uses.
While a dwelling unit is "any room or group of rooms in a two-family or multiple-family
building with kitchen facilities designed for or used by one family as an independent
housekeeping uniY', a fractional fee club unit must be part of a fraction fee club defined
by the Vail Town Code as "a fractional fee project in which each dwelling unit, pursuant
to recorded project documentation as approved by the town of Vail, has no fewer than
six (6) and no more than twelve (12) owners per unit and whose use is established by a
reservation system and is managed on site with a front desk operating twenty four (24)
hours a day, seven (7) days a week providing reservation and registration capabilities..."
It is clear in the adopting legislation (Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996) allowing
fractional fee club units within the Public Accommodation District, that these units are not
intended for full-time occupancy as a dwelling unit when the Town Council found "that a
fractional fee club is a form of public accommodation" and "that the quality of fractional
fee club unit are an appropriate means of increasing occupancy rates, maintaining and
enhancing short-term rental availability and diversifying the resort lodging market within
the Town of Vail"
On February 28, 2000, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff's memorandum to the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
"According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units will be divided into a
maximum of 1/12 intervals for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks would be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program allows for the most attractive weeks of the year to
be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the redevelopment
project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during the summermonths."
On August 13, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission again approved a
conditional use permit for a fractional fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel consisting of 50
fractional fee club units. According to the Staff Memorandum the Planning and
Environmental Commission concerning the fractional fee club:
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fractional fee club, the 50 club
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creates a total of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractional fee club
component of the hotel."
Additionally, the Staff Memorandum the Planning and Environmental Commission stated
the fractional fee units at the Vail Plaza Hotel:
"The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The
club units would be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the
2
remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel for use as short-term accommodation
units.
In both 2000 and 2001, pursuant to Section 12-16-7, Vail Town Code, the Planning and
Environmental Commission considered "the ability of the proposed project to create and
maintain a high level of occupancy" and that "each of the fractional club units shall be
made available for short term rental in a managed program when not in use by the club
members". Based upon the statements, representations, and proposals of the applicant;
the Commission determined that a conditional use permit was warranted for fractional
fee club at the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On September 4, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of
2001, which amended Special Development District No. 6 to allow for the construction of
the Vail Plaza Hotel with one dwelling unit, 99 accommodation units, 18 employee
housing units, and 50 fractional fee club units consistent with the August 13, 2001,
conditional use permit.
As noted above, units #313 and #401 at the Vail Plaza Hotel are currently being illegally
occupied as fulltime residential dwelling unit, and not as a fractional fee club unit as
required by the approved developed plan. On January 23, 2009, the Town of Vail issued
a notice of zoning violation to the Vail Plaza Hotel.
On March 13, 2009, the Town of Vail issued the Vail Plaza Hotel a summons to Town of
Vail municipal court for this illegal use of the subject fractional fee club units. This matter
is tentatively scheduled on the court's May 7, 2009, docket.
Unit #507 is currently unfinished and has not yet been issued a final certificate of
occupancy.
The Town Council has identified need for an accessibility and delivery route connecting
the Vail Plaza Hotel and East Meadow Drive has been identified in other recent
proposals to amend the Vail Village Inn Special Development District, including the
proposed expansion of the Osaki's restaurant and the Colondo Company's proposal to
convert retail space to residential. To date, this physical connection has not yet been
constructed.
On April 27, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to
discuss this application. The Commission discussed the option of temporarily approving
the applicant's request for a specified time period, such as three years, instead of
approving a permanent conversion of existing fractional fee club units to dwelling units.
Staff continues to recommend denial of this application. However, should the
Commission choose to grant a temporary approval of this request, Staff has drafted
possible conditions of approval which are outlined in Section IX of this memorandum.
At its April 27, 2009, hearing the Planning and Environmental Commission noted
concerns about applying Staff's previously proposed condition of approval requiring the
applicant to construct loading and delivery improvements to connect the hotel loading
dock to East Meadow Drive. Staff has revised the proposed conditions of approval
based upon input from the Commission and the Town Attorney's Office.
The applicant's proposal generates an increased parking demand of 0.7 parking spaces.
The applicant testified that the Vail Plaza Hotel (Phase IV of the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District) owns parking spaces physically located in the Phase III Building of
3
the Special Development District. However, these spaces were necessary to meet the
original parking requirements of the Vail Plaza Hotel and are not "surplus". Therefore,
the applicant must construct an additional parking space within the Vail Village Inn
Special Development District or meet the additional parking requirements generated by
this proposal through another means.
Staff recommends the applicant meet this additional 0.7 parking space requirement
through the payment-in-lieu system established in Chapter 12-10, Off Street Parking and
Loading, Vail Town Code. The payment-in-lieu fee is currently $22,229.16 per parking
space and is subject to an annual adjustment based upon the Denver consumer price
index. Should the Commission choose to approval the applicant's request, Staff
recommends the Commission applies a condition that applicant pay the full $15,560.41
payment-in-lieu parking fee within 5 business days of obtaining final Town Council
approval of the major amendment to a special development district application.
However, should the Commission choose to approve a temporary approval of the
applicant's request with the fractional fee and dwelling unit mixed to be restored by a
specific future date, Staff recommends the applicant pay only one-half (%2) of the parking
fee ($7,780.21). The Town Council has the authority to appropriate these funds to the
design, construction, and/or maintenance of loading and delivery improvements within
the Vail Village Inn Special Development District.
At its April 27, 2009, hearing, the Commission chose to table this item for further
discussion at its May 11, 2009, hearing and requested that a site visit also be scheduled
on that date.

VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. The warm beds are also highly beneficial to the
existing retail and restaurant uses in the other phases of the Vail Village Inn Special
Development District. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed fractional fee
club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's development
objectives or the intent and purpose of the overall Vail Village Inn development.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public
facilities needs.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions.
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and
pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access,
maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parking. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requirement.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a negative affect upon the remaining elements of
this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located,
including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses.
There are no changes proposed to the scale or bulk and mass of the existing building;
therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on
this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
7
VIII. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment
application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall
consider the following factors with respect to the proposal:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural
design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual
integrity and orientation.
There are no changes proposed to the exterior of the existing building; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient
and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units.
As described in Section III of this memorandum, in 2000 and 2001, the Planning and
Environmental Commission and Town Council approved one (1) dwelling unit and fifty
(50) fractional fee club unit mix at the Vail Plaza Hotel based upon the following:
"According to the applicant, the ownership of the club units will be divided into a
maximum of 1/12 intervals for the 24 winter weeks during the ski season, with
the remaining 28 shoulder season and summer weeks would be owned by the
hotel. This ownership program allows for the most attractive weeks of the year to
be sold as club units with the proceeds helping to finance the redevelopment
project. The remaining interest in the clubs is then used by the hotel to support
the conference facilities during the summermonths."
"To further improve the occupancy potential of the fractional fee club, the 50 club
units have been designed to include up to two lock-off spaces per unit. This
design creates a total of 108 keys and 216 pillows for the fractional fee club
component of the hotel."
"The applicant is proposing that the club units be sold on an interval basis. The
club units would be sold for 24 weeks during the winter months with the
remaining 28 weeks owned by the hotel for use as short-term accommodation
units.
At that time, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council also
considered:
"the ability of the proposed project to create and maintain a high level of
occupancy";and that,
8
�-�-K
"each of the fractional club units shall be made available for short term rental in a
managed program when not in use by the club members".
Therefore, Staff does not believe the applicant's proposal to exchange two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the intent of the
original approvals of the Vail Plaza Hotel.
3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
There are no changes proposed to the existing parking. However, there is net parking
requirement increase of 0.7 parking spaces when two fractional fee club units (parking
rate of 0.7 per unit) are exchanged for one dwelling unit (parking rate of 1.4 spaces per
unit). Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this criterion.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this request,
Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking requirement.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing loading. Today, there is no
accessible or practical physical connection between the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock
and East Meadow Drive. Staff believes the applicant must install the needed
accessibility and delivery route connecting the Vail Plaza Hotel loading dock to East
Meadow Drive to comply with this criterion.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations encourage the creation of "hot
beds" (accommodation units) and "warm beds" (fractional fee club units) within the
commercial cores and the Public Accommodation District which is the underlying zoning
for the Vail Plaza Hotel. These "warm bed" units have historically had higher occupancy
rates than dwelling units; and therefore, bring more guests to Vail. Greater numbers of
guests have a positive impact on creating vibrancy and economic viability of the
commercial cores than dwelling units. Staff does not believe exchanging two completed
fractional fee club units for one unfinished dwelling unit is consistent with the Town's
development objectives.
5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development
district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards affecting this property; therefore, Staff
does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in
comparison to existing conditions.
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
There are no changes proposed to the site planning, location, or open space for the
existing building; therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant
negative affect on this criterion in comparison to existing conditions.
9
7-3-9
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
There are no changes proposed to the existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns.
However, the net gain of dwelling units increases the parking requirement from 0.7 to 2.4
spaces. Therefore, Staff believes this proposal will have a negative affect on this
criterion. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
request, Staff believes the applicant must be required to meet this increased parking
requirement.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
There are no changes proposed to the existing landscaping; therefore, Staff does not
believe this proposal will have a significant negative affect on this criterion in comparison
to existing conditions.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district.
The Town of Vail has no assurance from the applicant when, or if, construction of the
Vail Plaza Hotel penthouse unit will occur. Therefore, Staff does not believe exchanging
two completed fractional fee club units for one un-built dwelling unit is consistent with the
Town's development objectives.
10. Public Benefit: The proposed deviations provide benefits to the town must
outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations.
The original approval of the Vail Plaza Hotel's project was based upon the applicant
constructing accommodation units and fractional fee clubs units in keeping with the
intent of the Public Accommodation District and the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The
Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council found the construction of
these "hot bed" and "warm bed" units to be a significant public benefit of the hotel's
original construction. Staff does not believe the proposed exchange of one unfinished
dwelling unit for two existing fractional fee club units provides any benefit to the
community; and Staff does not believe the applicant is proposing any other public benefit
to out weight the negative effects of reducing the number of fractional fee club units at
the Vail Plaza Hotel.

MEMORANDUM
To: Town Council
From: Matt Mire
Mike Magee
Judy Camp
Date: May 14, 2009
Subject: Fire Department Fee Schedule
On May 5, Council tabled Resolution No. 14, a resolution approving the increased fees
in the provision of fire protection services out of town limits. Other fire department fees
were discussed at the same time. We have now split the fee schedule into two separate
parts: "In Town" fees, which are addressed in Resolution No. 16 attached to this memo,
and "Out of Town" fees, which are addressed in Resolution No. 14 earlier on the
agenda.
Backqround
Title 10 of the Municipal Code includes the code adoption sections for the Building Code,
Mechanical Code, Fire Code, Electrical Codes and related codes.
The 2003 edition of the Fire Code which the Town adopted by reference, includes
Section 105.1.1 that states in part "Permit fees, if any, shall be paid prior to issuance of
the permit."
Prior to 2003, fire alarm and fire sprinkler permit fees were based on the electrical permit
fees and plumbing permit fees respectively. We were only covering about 25% of the
costs to execute the permits and inspections. In 2003, we initiated separate permit fees
for fire alarm and fire sprinkler permits in an attempt to recover the costs of plan review
and inspections.
The 2009 edition of the Fire Code, which is currently under review by the Appeals Board
in consideration for adoption by the Town Council later this year, includes Section 113.2
Schedule of Permit Fees, which states "All fees for each permit shall be paid as
required, in accordance with the schedule as established by the applicable governing
authority."
The proposed fee schedule has been adjusted to reflect the increased costs from 2003
to 2009. The base hourly rate went from $58 per hour to $72 per hour.
The Fire Code also has provisions for "standby fire personnel" for special events by
private promoters. The rate for standby personnel has been increased from $36 per
hour for fire fighters and $48 for Officers to a flat rate of $72 per hour each.
Fees for copies of fire reports have been changed to more closely align with fees
charged by the Police Department at a rate of $1.00 for the first page and $.25 for each
thereafter. Fees for CD's and DVD's reflect the estimated time to collect the data and
process it for distribution.
io-2-i
Fees for the use of fire department apparatus outside of the normal services provided
are included. While this type of activity is rare, the rates reflect current operating costs
and are consistent with fees for "out of district" responses.

Re: Vail Local Marketing District Budget Adjustments
The Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council (VLMDAC) recommends that the Town Council

comprehensive look at the proposed 2009 budget, which has been adjusted for the following:
1) A decrease to budgeted revenue of $220,000 for projected lodging tax collections,
representing a 20% decrease from 2008 actual collections.
2) A decrease to budgeted expenditures of $120,500 in the following categories:
Category Account code Adjustment %age Reduction
Opportunity Fund 6321 $(74,000) 100%

spreading the reductions across these line items.
3) Fund balance is recommended to stay above 25%, and these adjustments keep a healthy
balance of 30%.
