Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT Bill Pierce Henry Pratt David Viele Sarah Paladino Michael Kurz Luke Cartin Tyler Schneidman Site Visits: None Commissioner Kurz stated on the record that he had recently been employed to provide some services to Vail Resorts and the relationship was not one where he believed he would need to recuse himself from participating or voting on Vail Resorts Development Company applications. 90 minutes 1. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on prescribed regulation amendments to Chapter 12 -6, Residential Districts, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to establish a new zone district, Townhouse and Row House District (TRH) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100011) Applicant: Chris Galvin, represented by K.H. Webb Architects /Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to May 24, 2010 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Viele VOTE: 4 -0 -0 Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Dominic Mauriello, of the Mauriello Planning Group, representing the applicant, gave a power point presentation. The presentation went through the history of the application and the specifics of the current proposal. John Dunn, legal counsel for Dolph Bridgewater, expressed concern over the notice given to his client on this and other applications affecting his client's property. His client continues to oppose the application submitted by Chris Galvin on the same grounds that he did not support the SDD amendment. He believes this type of code amendment is typically proposed by the Town and their staff. There are far reaching effects of a request like this. This application is an SDD just by a different name. He believes the request is attempting to convert non - conforming properties to conforming properties, which is what the variance process should be used for. Dolph Bridgewater, owner of Unit 11 in the Vail Rowhouses, wanted to explain his opposition to the applications being proposed by the applicant. He expressed concern that most of Vail's homeowners, many of whom are second home owners, are not aware of this application or its potential broad reaching effects. He is skeptical that the applicant's goal is to assist all properties with similar non - conforming townhouse situations. He supports the concept of a new zone district, but believes "the devil is in the details ". Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, suggested the notification for the creation of a new zone district should be revamped to better include parties in the process. He felt the Pa 5/18/21 0 2 -2 -1 Commission was presented with good questions in the memorandum, but were not given any data to evaluate those questions. The proposed language he felt did not go far enough to address the parking situation as recommended in the Vail Village Master Plan, with regard to improvements to get parking below grade. He was concerned about the precedence of not addressing below grade parking. The Association is not looking to take a position on the application, but only want to ensure adequate review and consideration. While he believes an individual citizen should be able to start the process he felt there are policy issues raised by this application. There needs to be a clear Town Council policy for how these properties change over time. Commissioner Viele asked Jim Lamont some questions of clarification. He restated that during the SDD process Jim Lamont support the creation of a new zone district. Jim Lamont confirmed that he supports a new district, but there should be a revisit of the Vail Village Master Plan first to examine far reaching impacts. With regard to the private citizen initiation, he is more concerned about the notification process and the establishment of a "nickel and dime" approach to public policy changes. Dominic Mauriello stated that the legal process is being followed and the process creates opportunity for all to get involved. If it is suggested that a greater number of people should be notified, the Commission can direct either himself or staff to send letters to likely affected parties. He clarified that no property is being proposed to be rezoned at this time, and only the concept of a new zone district is being discussed. Commissioner Pierce suggested that a mountain is being made out of a mole hill. By putting these properties into High Density Multiple - Family district they were made non - conforming immediately. He believes the underlying issue at hand is the requested increase the allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA). Bill Gibson commented that staff was looking for feedback from the Commission on the proposed increases in GRFA, the potential rezoning on singular properties, as exhibited in the questions at the end of the staff memorandum. George Ruther, Director of Community Development, restated a comment from Jim Lamont that with clearer policy there is greater ease at directing the future of properties. He described the master planning process for Lionshead, and acknowledged that individuals have not proposed redevelop without requesting additional development potential. He believes the question that needs to be answered first is how do we as a community want to see properties redevelop. No changes moving forward with non - conforming properties being limited until such time as they go away, become conforming or provide the tools for redevelopment. Commissioner Pierce responded that when Lionshead was being reviewed there was a need for an incentive to redevelop to address the economic conditions in Lionshead. The Vail Village area is not economically depressed like Lionshead was prior to redevelopment. Commissioner Kurz stated several elements and aspects of the need for an applicant to redevelop, the impacts to a neighboring property owner. He believes a new zoning district is appropriate and incentives should be included. He believes greater communication with affected properties would be beneficial. He also believes the Town will require that appropriate plans be submitted to minimize impacts to adjacent properties during redevelopment. Commissioner Schneidman identified the need to protect the character of the Village during redevelopment. Pa e 2 5/18 i2�1 v 2 -2 -2 Commissioner Viele stated that this is only the beginning of the review process and already questioning the process prior to an outcome is inappropriate. He believes there are problems with the current zoning of townhouses that need to be addressed. Commissioner Pierce asked who had been involved in the authorship of the proposed zone district. Dominic Mauriello stated that the document was a draft largely drafted by the applicant with some input by the Town staff. Dolph Bridgewater stated that the concept of increasing the GRFA from 0.76 to 1.50 FAR is what his concern is with the application. He is fully supportive of the concept of a new zone district. Dominic Mauriello clarified for the record that the proposed GRFA increase was more appropriately identified as a 30% increase. 45 minutes 2. A request for a final recommendation for the adoption of the Frontage Road Lighting Master Plan, an element of the Vail Transportation Master Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090014) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Tom Kassmel Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Recommendation of approval MOTION: Viele SECOND: Schneidman VOTE: 4 -0 -0 Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Tom Kassmel gave a power point presentation on the details of the proposed Master Plan and the history of the project. Commissioner Kurz like the proposed intersection lighting, and recommended the Town re- evaluate its street signs and directional signs. Tom Kassmel responded that the next step for the Transportation Master Plan is to create a new "way- finding" plan addressing these issues. Commissioner Kurz suggested that while the proposed LED lighting may improve public safety with increased object recognition, reducing the speed limits adjacent to Ford Park would also improve public safety. Commissioner Schneidman asked if about examples of the LED street lighting already in use. Nancy Johnson noted that Ourey, Colorado has LED lights along their Main Street, but at a higher lighting level than is being proposed in Vail. Commissioner Viele inquired as to whether or not CDOT would own the improvement within the CDOT right -of -way. Tom Kassmel explained the Town of Vail legal responsibility to provide the street lighting. 30 minutes 3. A request for the review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12 -9C -3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, for a public transportation terminal, to allow for the construction of skier Pa e 3 5/18 i2�1 v 2 -2 -3 drop -off and a bus stop associated with the Lionshead parking structure, located at 395 South Frontage Road West/Lot 1, Block 2, Vail Lionshead First Filing, Lot 3, A Resubdivision of Lot 1, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Second Filing, and part of the South Frontage Road West and East Lionshead Circle rights -of -way, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100020) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Tom Braun Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Approved with condition(s) MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 4 -0 -0 CONDITION(S): 1. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review new construction application. 2. The applicant must obtain CDOT approval of a Notice to Proceed set of plans prior to constructing the new access points. 3. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must obtain a Town of Vail Public Way permit and comply with the Public Works General Conditions for construction. Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Tom Braun, Braun Associates, representing the applicant, gave a power point presentation. The presentation described the specifics of the current proposal and was available for questions. Commissioner Kurz asked how the construction phasing would be managed. Tom Kassmel described the construction time - frames and methods to re -route vehicle, bus, and pedestrian traffic. There was no public comment. Commissioner Kurz complimented the staff and consultant on finding the solutions in the proposed master plan. 5 minutes 4. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council for the establishment of a new special development district, pursuant to Article 12 -9A, Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Units 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 (Vail Rowhouses) /Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.

SECTION 1 — DISTRICT FOUNDING PRINCIPLES The VED will be formed in consultation with critical stakeholders including the Town of Vail (the Town), the Vail Valley Foundation, the Vail Economic Advisory Council and Vail Resorts, among others. The VED will be formed with the following guiding principals: 1. Enhance and improve the Vail guest experience; 2. Support the cultural and tourism initiatives of the Vail stakeholders; 3. Provide supplemental vitality for Vail activities; and 4. Support the customer service goals of Vail Resorts. SECTION 2 — PUBLIC PURPOSE Neighborhood and Destination Through increased vitality and guest information, VED will enhance Vail Village and Lionshead as visitor destinations. One way VED will do this is by informing guests of the numerous activities already available in the Village and Lionshead. VED will promote the exciting events occurring in Vail so that people can fully experience the unique nature of Vail. An Economic Opportunity for the Town VED will fund itself. There are no new taxes and no public money required to launch VED. Additionally, VED will generate revenue for the Town. VED will generate revenue in several ways. First, by marketing and directing people to core Vail assets, VED will enhance the guest experience for local hotels and restaurants. Making it easy for guests to experience all Vail has to offer will be a primary economic benefit of VED. Additionally, the district can fund supplemental activities that add vitality to Vail's existing public art and music performances. With exciting events already in place, VED will work to increase attendance and enhance the attendee experience. Finally, to the extent VED media platforms are placed in the public right of way, the Town will receive a revenue share from such platforms that can offset current Town costs. 5/18/2010 7 -3 -1 SECTION 3 — VED STAKEHOLDERS AND STAKEHOLDER BENEFITS There are two types of stakeholders related to VED — (i) primary stakeholders and (ii) secondary stakeholders. Primary Stakeholders The primary stakeholders of VED are (i) Vail Village, LionsHead and Meadow Drive business owners and their patrons and (ii) the Town. These stakeholders will receive significant benefits from the establishment of VED including: (i) Enhanced directional platforms for visitors; (ii) A network of public media platforms that publicize Vail activities; and (iii) Revenue that can be used to offset current Town costs or fund additional activities. Secondary Stakeholders VED secondary stakeholders include local art and cultural institutions and Vail Resorts. Benefits will include: (i) increased marketing exposure when the VED platforms are used to promote local art and cultural activity; (ii) cutting edge media platforms that enhance the guest experience as they navigate around Vail Village and Lionshead and between the two; and (iii) supplemental activity and vitality before and after events hosted by groups like the Vail Valley Foundation. SECTION 4 — DISTRICT BOUNDARIES While the exact boundaries to be proposed have yet to be established, VED is working with the Town to review and analyze areas within (i) Vail Village, including Meadow Drive; and (ii) Lionshead. SECTION 5 — CHALLENGES /OPPOSITION Every municipal project has challenges. VED will be created in an open and collaborative fashion. Below is an attempt to outline and identify potential issues associated with the project. Challenges/Opposition a (i) Vail residents opposed to any commercialization of Vail; (ii) Signage code issues; (iii) Stakeholders concerned that the effort is duplicative of current activation efforts; (iv) Business owners in other commercial areas who feel that the streets within VED will be receiving a commercial advantage; (v) Entities who believe that VED will be competing with them for sponsors; and (vi) Entities concerned with preserving the unique "look and feel" of Vail. 5/18/2010 7 -3 -2 Potential Responses The issues above are legitimate and must be addressed effectively to build true public support. Below are potential responses: (i) A certain amount of commercialization is necessary in order to fund VED and enable it to promote the arts and provide information to Vail guests. The place to balance those goals with commercial efforts is through the sign code revisions as well as in discussions with media companies participating in the district. (ii) VED founders will work closely with the Town to determine an appropriate legal structure to allow for the signage contemplated by VED. (iii) VED will communicate with these stakeholders so that VED can promote their activities and provide supplemental activity supporting their events, if desired. (iv) VED is unique in that there is a compelling public - private interest in supporting Vail Village and Lionshead and directing visitors between the two. Further, the VED's effort to enhance the guest experience will help all business owners in Vail Village and Lionshead. (v) The discussions with media companies will take into account existing relationships and will be shaped so as not to unduly interfere with those relationships. (vi) The district effort will be made in conjunction with the Town and stakeholders to create media platforms that are supportive of and highlight the Vail esthetic. SECTION 6 — STRUCTURE OF THE DISTRICT VED will be 501(c)(3) organization managed by David Ehrlich and Alby Segall. Messrs Ehrlich and Segall have decades of experience related to venue and non - profit management, operations, sales and marketing. Additionally, VED would solicit advice from an informal Board of Advisors drawn from the public and private sectors. Funding for signage creation, installation and maintenance will be provided by the media companies participating in VED. VED will fully funded by a portion of the gross revenue share paid by each media company in the district. VED will require no new taxes and no on -going public funds. SECTION 7 — LEGAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES In initial discussions with Vail governmental staff, it appears that they are potentially supportive of the VED concept as it clearly falls within their goals of generating Town revenue and enhancing the guest experience. It would appear that the next step would be consultation with the Town Attorney's office regarding the creation of an overlay zoning district to allow for the media platforms contemplated by the creation of VED as well as an introduction of the concept to Town Council. 5/18/2010 7 -3 -3 VAIL Entertainment District (VED) Total City hard costs = $20,000 - 40,000 - Time estimated from inception to launch: 11 - 16 months Bracketed items are not Town costs Objectives: Verify geographic boundaries of proposed district with Town Staff Work with Town Attorney and Planning on proper legal course for zoning revisions Build district sign plan withTown Staff based on boundaries Build preliminary proforma /model Complete presentation process for key stakeholders Timeline: 4 - 6 months Budget: CONSULTING PHASES I -IV 20,000 (normally 10 -12 month process at $10,000 /month) TRAVEL /ENTERTAINMENT Trade LEGAL (not a Town cost) [$30,000 - 50,000] COLLATERAL (not a Town cost) Interactive sign plan [25,000] Enhanced presentation [20,000] Phase I Subtotal: $ 20,000 5/11/10 Page 1 of 3 5/18/2010 7 -4 -1 PHASE II: Approval .

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: May 18, 2010 ITEM /TOPIC: Information Update. Attachment only: Dobson Ice Arena Roof Update. Ford Park Safety Fencing. Town Evacuation Plan Update. PRESENTER(S): Pam Brandmeyer ATTACHMENTS: Ford Park Safety Fencing Update / From VRD 05.18. 10 Town Evacuation Plan Update 0518. 10 Dobson Roof Update 5/18/2010 MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Mike Ortiz, Vail Recreation District DATE: May 18, 2010 SUBJECT: Replacement and Installation of Safety Fencing in the Upper Bench of Ford Park The purpose of this correspondence is to inform the Vail Town Council, a working partner of the Vail Recreation District (VRD), the VRD is currently working on plans to replace a portion of the existing fence and install a new enclosure on the south side of the "upper bench" in Ford Park. The purpose of this project is to provide a safety barrier that will help mitigate instances of sporting balls entering programming areas adjacent to the athletic fields. As you are aware, Ford Park is currently shared by several different entities including the VRD, Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. The VRD is involved with programming the open space and fields for both local sporting events, as well as large tournaments. Often times the sporting events and tournaments will coincide with events at the amphitheater or regular operating hours at the gardens. There have been, on occasion, instances when soccer, lacrosse or softballs have been hit, kicked or thrown from the fields into either the amphitheater or the gardens. Fortunately no serious injuries have been reported from these instances. As these events continue to overlap, it is in the opinion of the VRD that it may only be a matter of time before someone is seriously Injured from balls entering areas other than the fields. This project will involve removing a portion of the existing 10 -foot fence on the southeast ball field and replacing it with a 12 -foot barrier. The VRD will install a 5 -foot hood system on top of the new fence, similar to the two other fields at the park. The VRD will also install an additional 360 feet of 12 -foot fence along the south side of the park (installed east to west), separating the fields from the amphitheater and the gardens. The material will be the same as the existing fence around the park including the posts, supports and fabric. It will also be in compliance with all specifications provided by the Town of Vail Community Development Department. The installation project is scheduled to begin sometime in early June. The VRD welcomes any input from the Town Council and community to enhance this new safety feature at Ford Park. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at 970- 479 -2451. Sincerely, Mike Ortiz, Executive Director Vail Recreation District 5/18/2010 10 -1 -1 A TOWN VAIN �7 Department of Police Memorandum To: Town Council Stan Zemler, Town Manager From: Dwight Henninger, Chief of Police Date: March 23, 2010 Subject: Town Evacuation Plan Update Attached to this email you will find a copy of the Town of Vail Emergency Evacuation Plan, Appendix J, of the Town Emergency Operations Plan. The plan can also be found on the Town website at www.vailgov.com On June 24, 2009 the Town conducted a wildland fire exercise that included use of the Town's Evacuation Plan. Police officers and firefighters went door -to -door handing out cards to survey citizens on the actions they would take in regards to a real evacuation. The results of the survey cards are attached. The Eagle County Alert (EC Alert) text and email messaging system was used during this training day and a media release was developed to further educate the public about the Evacuation Plan, also attached. On April 13, 2007, the Evacuation Plan was enacted during a wildland fire table top incident, as part of one of the Town's quarterly exercises. In addition to using the Emergency Preparedness Network (EPN), a form of reverse 911, four officers went door to door in the Forest and Beaver Dam Roads area, as they would if evacuations became necessary. In one hour, the four officers went to 110 homes, of which 30 were occupied. The responses from these contacts between the residents and officers were very positive. All of the Public Safety Dispatchers are trained to launch the EPN system and used it approximately 3 -4 times a year in the County to notify geographic areas of the community about an emergency or in- progress incident. During this spring 2010, the Town's Local Emergency Planning Committee is coordinating a lodging community meeting to address a number of issues including the evacuation of lodging properties and emergency generator capacity. In October 2010 a hazardous materials exercise will be conducted in the Town and it is currently planned to include an evacuation component to that drill. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact me at (970) 479 -2218. 5/18/2010 10 -2- 1 EOP Appendix J March 4, 2007 Town of Vail Emergency Evacuation Plan The purpose of the Vail Emergency Evacuation Plan is to inform the citizens and guests of Vail on how to respond to an emergency requiring evacuation and also serves as a guide for the Town of Vail emergency responders. The Emergency Evacuation Plan includes plans for both a partial or full evacuation of the town. The residents of Vail should be presented with the information in this plan twice a year, in June and December. The Community Information Office will provide the information through local media, and will also be available on the Town of Vail website ( www.vailgov.com ). The information provided will include emergency broadcast information, recorded information available by phone, neighborhood pick -up locations, evacuation center locations, shelter locations, and a notification for citizens with special needs. This will ensure the community understands how to obtain information and understand the critical steps to the evacuation process. Evacuations will be organized through the Incident Command System. When implementing the Emergency Evacuation Plan, the Vail Communications Center will utilize the Emergency Phone Notification, also known as Reverse 911, the Emergency Alert System via AM /FM radio stations or through Roam Secure text messages to the homes, hotels, and businesses in the affected area(s). The message will contain emergency and evacuation instructions. When time and personnel allow, first responders will drive through neighborhoods and make public notifications on the emergency vehicle loud speakers or go door -to -door. Evacuation Center Check -In Locations or more may be designated): 1. Village Transportation Center Alternative locations: 2. Lionshead Parking Structure 3. Donovan Park Pavilion 4. Battle Mountain High School Evacuation Instructions A. Self- Evacuation by Vehicle: 1. Exit the area/neighborhood in the safest direction 2. Respond to the predetermined Evacuation Center check -in location B. Evacuation by Public Transportation: 1. Respond to the nearest neighborhood bus stop 5/18/2010 10 -2 -2 a. Citizens will then be transported to the evacuation center to check -in. C. Shelter in Place: 1. During some types of incidents, such as a hazardous materials spill, or communicable disease, the public may be asked stay inside and not evacuate, or due to the rapid spread of a wildfire they may not be able to leave. For these reasons citizens should be prepared to stay in their homes for a minimum of 72 hours and have enough supplies on hand to support the number of residents living there. See wwrw.read 7ov for more details. Homes should be made Firewise to increase the safety of sheltering in place during a fast moving wildfire. See www.firewise.org for more details. Citizens who self - evacuate or evacuate by public transportation will be asked to indicate that they have already evacuated their residence by displaying a large, white object, such as a sheet inside the residence, in a visible, conspicuous location, in the front, street -side of their home and to turn on their porch light. Neighborhood Bus Stops The current neighborhood pick -up locations are the Town of Vail bus stops. If possible, the buses will follow their regular route. If a resident or guest is unable to make it to their neighborhood bus stop location, then they should respond to the nearest alternative bus stop or alternative pick -up location for a safe evacuation, see below. Domestic pets may accompany evacuees as long as they are on a leash or contained so they will not injure other evacuees or their pets. Pets will not be allowed at shelters and the Town will work with the Eagle County Animal Control to house pets of individuals that are housed in shelters. Alternative Pick -up Locations 1. Fire Stations 2. Schools 3. Village Transportation Structure or Lionshead Parking Structure Special Needs Population These are citizens and guests that will require assistance leaving their residence or those who have medical needs that require electricity in the case of a power outage. This is only for those who do not have transportation and cannot make it to the designated evacuation center or neighborhood pick -up bus stop location. The citizen provided information will be relayed to the Vail Police Department and Eagle County Ambulance District in order to preplan and determine how many special needs persons require assistance, their location, and how to transport them appropriately during an evacuation. 5/18/2010 10 -2 -3 Recorded Information The Town of Vail will provide the public with a telephone hotline to receive updated information. The road conditions phone number will be used during evacuations for the hotline (970) 479 -2226. It will be a recorded update in an attempt to reduce a possible overwhelming call volume to the dispatch center. The recording will be made by the Town Public Information Officer (PIO), who will be designated by the Incident Commander. Whenever possible, the updated information will also be posted on the Town of Vail website ( %vww.vail og v.com and on the Eagle County website ( www.eaglecounty.us ). Vail Mountain People who are on Vail Mountain when an emergency situation takes place in the Town of Vail should remain on the mountain, as long as it is safe. Vail Resort employees may then reroute them across the mountain or shelter them in one of the buildings on the mountain. Vail Resorts Security will be responsible for organizing sheltering on the mountain or rerouting guests off in to town. Evacuation Center Check -in There will be a system in which evacuees will check -in and be assigned to a temporary shelter, or be released to take care of their own shelter needs. The required check -in information will consist of the person's name, birth date, home address, cell phone numbers, and, if needed, which temporary shelter the person will be placed. Evacuees will be assigned to shelters based upon the area of their residence. Buses will then transport evacuees from the check -in location to their assigned temporary shelter. The Red Cross or Salvation Army will conduct check -in operations and set up a phone system whenever possible to assist those needing to locate family members. Vail Valley Medical Center Evacuation: Due to the massive coordination to evacuate the hospital all efforts will be made to defend and protect it from whatever the nature of incident. If the hospital is evacuated the VVMC plan will be put into action.

Staff members from the Town and Vail Recreation District met with Mr. Snowden Smith, the manager of the Vail International condominiums, on two occasions. Mr. Smith indicated the Vail International owner's are unhappy with the selection of roof materials for two reasons: The first is the light color of the roofing material, and the second is -the reflection of the sun caused by the satin sheen of the finish. The previous roof material was old, wood shakes with no reflective qualities. The contrast between old and new is very distinct. Staff members had multiple discussions with the roofing manufacturer as well as various paint suppliers to seek possible solutions to darken and dull the finish of the roof surface. Based on these discussions, the determination is the roof cannot be painted. This determination is based on the following characteristics of the roof material and finish: • The manufacturer- installed roof finish is specifically formulated so nothing will stick to it, which includes dirt, water, snow, and especially paint. • The steel roof panels expand and contract in the heat and cold up to 2 inches in length, and the finish is designed to move with the panels. Any applied coating will not move with the panels and will quickly crack and peel exposing the white surface beneath. This will result in a very unsightly condition. • If we do any modification to the roof whatsoever, it will void the 30 year warranty from the manufacturer. The cost of replacing the roof panels to achieve a darker color or because of a failed painting attempt would cost the Town in the range of $600,000 to $760,000. On a positive note, the energy audit, which is currently being conducted on town -owned buildings, revealed an unexpected impact from the light- colored roof. The reflective nature of a lighter color reduces the amount of energy required to cool the ice arena building which reduces cost and the town's carbon footprint. Staff investigated the mitigation potentially achieved by planting trees between the Dobson Arena and Vail International. While possible, the staff and Mr. Smith agree that the trees would not solve the problem to an acceptable degree. The trees would need to be approximately 40 feet in height to shield the windows above the third or fourth floors from reflection and will begin to block the views of Vail Mountain at that height. The cost of tree spading with several large deciduous trees exceeds $60,000. Mr. Smith indicated that he would not sign off on planting as a solution until the actual impacts could be seen. The conclusion is there is no viable solution to the issue besides replacing the roof panels with a darker color. While this would resolve the color issue, the replacement panels would still have a reflective satin finish. Staff cannot recommend replacing the roof panels due to the high cost. 5/ 1 Alklr� R&CYCLFD PAPER 10 -3 -1 'OWN OF VAM .
