ACTION: Denied
MOTION: DuBois SECOND: Gillette VOTE: 5 -0 -0
The Design Review Board (DRB) cited Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code which contained
no provisions for the "maintenance" of view corridors with regard to vegetation. Furthermore, Section 14-
10-3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, states the following:
"C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal of those
essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased or those essential for creating
defensible space. Mitigation may be required for tree removal."
The DRB has consistently used this regulation to prevent the removal of vegetation for the sole purpose
of obtaining a view to a landmark (commonly the Gore Range or the ski mountain). The DRB was
concerned about allowing the Town to perform an action which is consistently denied for private property
owners as this request occurs frequently.
The DRB understood the concern of the encroachment of the vegetation on the view corridor and had
several suggestions and concerns. There was a concern that the removal of the trees would expose a
roof material and a building which might have a negative effect if it became completely exposed. The
Board highlighted that the original design intent of Eldon Beck was to limit the view to short distances into
the Village and create an element of surprise. It was stated that the trees frame the Covered Bridge and
are solely a summer problem, and does this warrant removal.

5 -1 -2
The DRB suggested that the Town Council direct staff to prepare amendments to Chapter 12 -22, View
Corridors, Vail Town Code, to include provisions for "maintenance" of a view corridor with regard to
vegetation which established a set of criteria by which an evaluation could be made. It was further
suggested that Section 14- 10 -3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, would be improved with the addition of
provisions and criteria for the evaluation of the removal of vegetation that may have been improperly cited
during original installation and after a number of years has impacted important views. A requirement for
replacement should accompany any provision allowing for this.

Subject: Open seat on the CSE
Lorelei,
I am very interested in serving the town as a member of the Commission on Special Events. I have followed the
CSE's actions over the years and I feel like this is something I would be a good fit for. As a small business owner in Vail I
understand the importance of quality programming in our town. The right mix of programming and events is what brings
new guests, entertains returning visitors, and keeps them coming back.
I believe that the CSE has the power to energize our town's economy from the top down. A variety of well
chosen events throughout the year brings a wide assortment of people to sleep in our hotels, dine in our restaurants,
and outfit themselves in Vail style. The quality of experience we have the ability to provide, marrying great events with
the perfect location, is what makes guests return for year after year.
With my experience in hospitality and a passion for Vail I think I would be an excellent fit for this board. Vail is
my home. It's where my business is, where I will raise my family, and the entire town's success is extremely important to
me. I understand the time commitment that would be required of me, and would eagerly accept if I was asked to serve
my town as a member of the Commission on Special Events.
Thank you,
William "Barry" Davis

Vail Town Council

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Vail Town Council Members:
would like to apply for the seat currently available on the Commission on Special Events. A
summary of my qualifications accompanies this letter.
I've been involved and regularly attending both CSE and VLMDAC meetings for the past two
years. I commend both groups for their combined efforts to collaborate and coordinate Vail's
marketing efforts and produce the successful results which we have seen this summer. Given
these economic times, it is especially important for the CSE to continue to promote and seek out
events that attract the destination guest. Equally important is evaluating each event making sure
that it supports the "Vail Brand" and measuring the ROI of our event $.
There's no question that events play an important part in the overall guest experience and
coming up with the right mix of events is critical. I'm confident that my vast experience in
planning events, my strong financial background, decision- making capabilities and knowledge of
the business community are qualities that would be invaluable to the CSE.
I understand the time commitment and would enthusiastically work hard on the board to ensure
that the goals set forth are met. It would be both a pleasure and an honor to serve on the CSE.
T look forward to the opportunity of interviewing for this position and thank you for your
consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,

Subject: CSE position
Dear Ms. Donaldson,
Please accept this email as my letter of interest to join the Committee on Special Events as was posted on the Town of
Vail's website.
For the past 3 % years I have worked in Vail for Vail Resorts as the Marketing Manager overseeing amongst other things
the event strategy for Vail Mountain during the winter months; and participating in discussions amongst the Vail Local
Marketing District Advisory Council about events in the spring, summer and fall months outside of ski season. During this
time I have seen the profound impact the community's special events have had not only on local businesses and lodges,
but in the greater context of the community and the Vail brand. Collectively, all of these events have raised Vail to a level
that most resorts are hard pressed to compete with. Indeed, it is easy to look around and see sister resort towns
mimicking our event footprint, I'd like to be a part of the team that continues to grow events in Vail and bring sustainable
year -round activity to the community.
Additionally, I frequently attend the monthly Committee on Special Events meetings and have observed that the decisions
left up to this group on event funding are not easy ones. I feel that my experience working with local event producers,
managing marketing campaigns, assessing event results, and developing long term event strategy will be an asset to the
CSE: in the decision making process, and ultimately the Town of Vail. Thal said, I realize that my current position with Vail
Mountain may present an occasion of conflicting interests. In these few and far between situations, I would ask to recuse
myself from the discussion and support the consensus of my peers.
Thank you for your consideration, If you have any additional questions for me or would like to meet in person I am
available at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Katie

Please accept this e -mail as my application for the vacancy on the Commission on Special Events.
1 am a full time residence of the Town of Vail. This is my town and I raised two children, Trent & Blair in
Vail. I am semi - retired and have time to spend assisting the town with this important board. Over time I have
sat on many of the public boards in Vail including the Town Council, Fire District, Recreation District, and the
Water and Sanitation Districts. This give me a experience working on public boards and I think the
Commission on Special Events is a very good fit for me at this time.
I think it is important for residence of Vail to sit on this type of board because they are more likely to have real
concern about bringing the best events to Vail and to work to bring events that will till beds, bring business to
our town, and increase the sales tax for the Town of Vail.
I am looking forward to serving again on a board in Vail and thank you for your consideration in appointing me
to the Commission on Special Events.

estimated cap of $200,000.00, 2,250 passengers, an estimated 1,450 incremental visitors and
8,000 visitor nights. All three winter service options were for Saturdays only. The summer
service options begin mid June through late September and all three options are daily and have
an estimated cap of $400,000.00. All three options bring 8,600 passengers and an estimated
3,400 incremental visitors and 12,300 visitor nights. The first option is Houston, the second is
Chicago and the third is a combination of the first two.
Steve Rosenthal thought it made sense to service both Chicago and Houston, rather than a flight
being 25% full it would be 75 %.
Myers explained the targeted pledge amounts for 2012 Summer and 2012/13 winter would need
to come from Eagle County, town governments and private businesses since everyone in the
county would benefit.
Jim Lamont asked about international flights coming to Eagle.
Myers stated the size of the aircraft needed for an international flight from would not work with the
constraints with altitude, the Redtable Mountain and runway impacts the Eagle airport has. The
only international flight that would work would come from Mexico City because that airport has the
same constraint issues as Eagle.
Rosenthal inquired about flights from Eagle to LA, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Myers explained that Allegiant doesn't fly to Eagle because again of the size of the aircraft.
• USA Pro Cycling Challenge:
Adam Lueck with the Vail Valley Foundation talked about the upcoming 2011 USA Pro Cycling
Challenge. The Town of Vail will be staging the individual time trials of the 136 riders. Lueck
explained 136 riders will start one at a time every minute starting at Willow Bridge to Gore Creek
Drive, north on Vail Valley Drive and heading west on the Frontage Road to Bighorn Road then
up Vail Pass. Which is the same course as the Coors Classic. Lueck stated the event will be like
having the Tour de France in our backyard. Riders will be traveling 22 — 28 mph and for anyone

who is a cycling fan this will be the place to be. Lueck went on to say the event will have 25
hours plus of national and international television airtime and on August 25 the Town of Vail will
have 3.5 hours. The Foundation worked with Town of Vail Fire Dept., Police Dept., Public Works
and the Vail Recreation District on road closures which will be the most significant impact.
Starting on Wednesday the Village businesses are allowed to have deliveries until 12:00 pm and
after that time the Village will be 100% closed until 4:00 pm the following day to allow for set up of
tent structures, sound system, banners, stages, catering etc. to be ready for the start of the event
at 11:00 am on Thursday. The Frontage Road to East Vail and Vail Valley Drive will be closed at
11:45 am the day of the race. CDOT and the town will be putting messages on the variable
message signs directing traffic to the main Vail and West Vail exits. There will be bus service
from the transportation centers to East Vail that will loop around by using 170 Interstate. There
will be parking below the upper decks of the transportation centers, Frontage Road parking from
Lionshead to West Vail and parking on the north side of the Frontage Road near City Market.
There will also be permit parking in East Vail. The Police Dept. will be encouraging the down
valley employees and visitors to use the bus system into Vail by giving limited edition cow bells to
the first 2,000 bus riders. There are a number of activities planned after the race to keep
spectators in town ranging from private and public parties and a free concert featuring Motet.
Rayla Kundolf suggested getting out to businesses additional information regarding road closure
and parking.
Matt Morgan thanked the Vail Valley Foundation for getting the big event to Vail and thought it
was fantastic.
Michael Kurz reminder the VEAC members to make everyone feel welcomed so they will want to
come back.
• USAPCC Emergency Ordinance:
Rachel Dimond a Town planner, provided copies and asked if anyone had a questions
concerning Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2011, an emergency ordinance to approve the general
planning document for the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, to allow for temporary suspension of
certain fire lanes, no parking areas, pedestrian zones and outdoor display and sign regulations to
facilitate the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Morgan asked if there could be deliveries on Thursday if they are before 5:00 am. Dimond stated
there would be door front deliveries and suppliers can park at Mountain Plaza and wheel the
deliveries to them.
• Ski Concierge Services:
Dimond presented a Powerpoint concerning ski concierge services provided by hotels to improve
customer service. These ski concierge services often include the temporary outdoor storage of
skis and snowboards on rolling racks to facilitate distribution of equipment to guests. Dimond
explained ski concierge services are not contemplated by the Vail Town Code, as this type of
service did not exist when the current regulations were adopted. As a result, the Town has no
underlying policy direction on this subject, and thus, Staff cannot make a determination on how to
handle this use. Dimond stated without clear policy direction, interpretations by Staff results in
arbitrary rulings, inequities, unfairness or inconsistencies. Diamond asked if the VEAC members
had any policy recommendations concerning ski concierge services.
Kurz expressed concern regarding the impact on horizontal zoning and the space where this
service could be offered. Kurz also expressed concern about the ski shops being required to
have ski storage in the basement and hotels being allowed to have their storage on the street.
Rosenthal had concerns of guests just grabbing the wrong skis and thought a centralized location
for this service should be contemplated. Rosenthal even suggested utilizing the space behind
Los Amigos since it is out of sight and at the base of the mountain near the Vista Bahn
George Ruther director of community development, asked if the VEAC supported this service?
There was general support from the members.

Rosenthal stated the ultimate goal is providing enhanced customer service.
• Town Manager Report:
Pam Stenmark asked Stan Zemler about progress concerning Timber Ridge redevelopment.
Zemler informed the committee Timber Ridge got their HUD financing, but it comes with a lot of
time constraints and other conditions that may make the project difficult.
Morgan asked about the conference center ballot question and what was the support from the
community. Zemler responded there was a unanimous support to move forward and 72% of the
citizens who were polled were in favor of all three projects. Morgan reminded members to
encourage people to vote.
