1. Upton Residence- 4192 Columbine Way
20 minutes
1. A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-6G-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Code,
pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of a garage
within the setbacks, located at 4192 Columbine Way/Lots 25 & 26, Bighorn Terrace, and setting
forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120027)
Applicant: Anne Upton, represented by Pierce Architects
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Tabled to August 27, 2012
MOTION: Cartin SECOND: Bird VOTE: 3-1-1 (Kurz opposed, Pierce recused)
Commissioner Pierce recused himself from this item because his firm is representing the
applicant.
Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Commissioner Pratt disclosed that he made a bid for this project, but did not receive the contract.
He also disclosed that he is working on other development projects with the legal staff of the
applicant; however, there is no financial benefit that would require him to recuse himself.
Tyson Dearduff, representative of the applicant, stated Bill Gibson did a great job outlining the
project and that he was available for comment.
Kerry Donovan, homeowner at adjacent Bighorn Condominiums, Units 5 and 6, was speaking on
behalf of herself and her brother who owns Units 3 and 4. She stated that she lives directly to
the south of the subject property. She stated her two primary concerns are that snow storage
currently occurs in the proposed driveway location and that the design of the driveway will result
in headlights shining into her building, specifically into the primary bedrooms. She had also
heard that the parking spaces, while not for a full time resident, were being offered for rent to
neighboring full time residents.
Diana Donovan, also an owner in the Bighorn Condominiums, stated that the applicant’s existing
building is in an existing setback. The proposed garage will only be 5.5 feet from the property
line, with less distance counting the overhang. She stated the snow storage will suffer, the
2 - 1 - 1
8/21/2012
Page 2
headlights will shine into the adjacent buildings, and that granting a variance will be special
privilege because no other unit has been granted a variance this impactful. She noted that there
are other locations for this garage on the site that would be more conforming with setbacks than
this proposal. She believes most variances have been granted to keep families in town and this
is a second homeowner, and this unit is a former duplex that was combined into a single-family
residence, thus removing the setbacks thru the middle of the house. She stated that there are
better locations for the garage that don’t require a variance. The negative impacts of headlights
will hit directly into the adjacent units. She stated no practical difficulty exists for this property
and this would be a grant of special privilege. She added that landscaping has been installed
within the parking easement. She identified the owners of the Bighorn Condominiums building
that were present in the Council Chambers.
Tom Fowler, one of the directors of the Bighorn Recreation and Sanitation Mutual District, stated
his concern. He also expressed concern about impacts of the proposal to the adjacent Bighorn
Condominiums. He said the directors had a meeting and came to the conclusion that Ms. Upton
had revised her original proposal in response to their input. There are still concerns from the
directors, but the effort made could be accommodated. He believes there were a few items that
should have been agreed upon by the applicant and the district before the PEC hearing,
including locations for snow storage. He commented that he had great respect for Ms. Upton’s
deceased father, an original developer of Bighorn Terrace and former resident of the subject
property, and wanted to maintain an amicable relationship between neighbors.
Wendy St. Charles, attorney with Sherman & Howard, representative of the applicant, stated she
wanted to clarify the organizational aspect of the Bighorn Recreation and Sanitation District and
that there is no legal home owners association. The district was formed in the 1960s for the
larger Bighorn subdivision which includes single-family residences, multi family and duplexes.
She explained that there is no common property, no legal documents, and no legal rights
between owners at Bighorn Terrace. She added that snow storage will not be permitted on the
Upton property as it is not an approved snow storage location and has damaged her clients
landscaping. She noted that parking is a chronic problem with seven units at the end of the cul-
de-sac, with two cars each, and only seven available common parking spaces.
Wendy St. Charles added that it is an older neighborhood that does not comply with zoning. The
site is large and could accommodate a garage but to save existing parking, they proposed this
proposal. She explained why other scenarios would not work for the neighbors, hence the
proposed location.
Commissioner Cartin asked about the requirements of the driveway and maintenance of the
common property.
Wendy St. Charles responded that the covenants were recorded with the entire Bighorn
subdivision in mind. There was no association created at Bighorn Terrace.
Commissioner Cartin asked who maintains the driveway.
Wendy St. Charles stated there are no assessments and no authority to assess. There is a
smaller group that collects money to pay for paving.
Commissioner Cartin asked where the parking is for the skate house. Wendy St. Charles
responded that the parking.
Kerry Donovan clarified that parking for the skate house is located on the west end of the
Bighorn Condominium’s parking lot.

Tom Fowler stated that the homeowner association is formalized, pays taxes and has annual
meetings. He said the name was chosen because the fire station site was originally the location
of the subdivision’s septic tank. He said it is not a loose disorganized area, and that it is
formalized. If there are problems for owners on the side facing Columbine Drive, the owner calls
him. He asked where the other Bighorn Terrace unit is located with a garage. Wendy St.
Charles responded Kathryn Benysh’s house, Units 7 & 8. Tom Fowler added an existing portion
of the that building was converted into a garage, rather than a garage addition being built.
Tyson Dearduff added some information about how the proposal came about due to the site
constraints and concerns from the neighbors.
Commissioner Kurz asked how the garage is connected to the existing house.
Tyson Dearduff responded that the garage was connected at its walls, but with no interior
connection. There is an outside door proposed for the garage.
Wendy St. Charles added that there have been no amending documents to the original district,
which is why there have been challenges to governance.
Commissioner Pratt asked about the parking easement.
Wendy St. Charles stated that the plat for Bighorn Terrace only dedicates the access and utility
easements for the driveway. She added that the parking easements have improvements built
upon them throughout numerous properties Bighorn Terrace.
Commissioner Pratt asked about the easement again, and whether the area is binding.
Wendy St. Charles stated that the easements were not dedicated. She added that there has
been no consistent treatment of these areas. The association proposed to amend the parking
areas to create real easements, but have not formally done so yet.
Commissioner Bird asked about the utility easement and whether it is recorded. Wendy St.
Charles stated it is dedicated on the plat.
Linda Moore, owner in the area adjacent to the proposed property, stated there was an
agreement in the 19808’s with the association to pave certain dedicated parking easement areas
and at that time, everyone gave up a portion of their private property. More recently, in 2007, the
Community Development Department suggested that the association file a survey with the town
to show the paved areas.
Bill Gibson stated the survey from the Town’s archives was in the packet, but the association’s
meeting minutes were not included. He clarified that private association agreements are not
germane to the Town’s zoning regulations.
Diana Donovan noted that the neighborhood was a legal mess. She stated that the parking map
shows the paved areas, property lines, etc showing each lot has some paved areas. She added
some clarification for other areas.
Commissioner Kurz agreed that the neighborhood was a legal mess. He stated there is an issue
with making the nonconforming situation worse, and that could potentially be a grant of special
privilege. He added that section 12-1-2, purpose, provides concern because the garage does
not provide adequate light for the neighbors. He was concerned about firefighting access,
2 - 1 - 3
8/21/2012
Page 4
utilities, vehicular turning, light, and character of the neighborhood. He said it’s using a shoehorn
to put this garage on the property.
Commissioner Bird recommended another design for this project be considered. She added that
it’s too vague as to who is responsible for what maintenance and that the whole association
needs to take a hard look at these issues and solve them. She stated she is not in favor of the
proposal due to the removal of mature trees and lack of integrity for the neighborhood. She
added there is no interior door to the house from the garage, so it could be moved elsewhere,
closer to the current front entrance of the house.
Tom Fowler added that Ms. Upton will heat the driveway which will help the snow storage
situation.
Commissioner Kurz stated that is not being considered in the deliberation.
Wendy St. Charles stated there is no way for the owner to get into their door because other
owners are parking in the adjacent parking spaces. She added that the owner is adding parking
and gets one more owner off the shared parking. She added that the zone district is supposed
to have covered parking and there is only one covered parking space in the whole neighborhood.
She identified how the current parking is an access problem that could potentially result in a
huge human safety issue.
Linda Moore stated she has come home without the ability to park immediately adjacent to her
home. While inconvenient there is not ownership of each parking space. The issue Ms. Upton
faces is no different than other owners.
Wendy St. Charles stated the difference between Ms. Moore and Ms. Upton’s situations were
different, with Ms. Upton’s front door being blocked by neighbor’s cars so that she couldn’t enter
her house.
Tyson Dearduff stated the reasons a garage could not be attached in other locations due to the
interior layout of the house.
Commissioner Cartin stated that the existing building on the south side complies with setbacks
today. When previous variances have been reviewed, the light, air, etc. criteria are typically
reviewed with just a few units not so close. He applauds Ms. Upton for her taking on this parking
problem, but there are many other issues that also need to be addressed. The exact layout of
the garage and the hammerhead driveway adjacent to another property are concerning. He’s not
opposed to a garage, but to this design for the garage.
Commissioner Pratt asked where the reduction would take place to reduce the garage to 300
square feet. Tyson Dearduff explained the proposed garage could be 2 feet narrower (13 feet
instead of 15 feet) and 2 feet shorter (23 feet instead of 25 feet) to reduce its size to 300 square
foot.
Commissioner Pratt asked Bill Gibson what other town policies comes into play. Bill Gibson
stated the Town does not govern how the parking at Bighorn Terrace operates, but the Town has
a long standing has a policy to encourage enclosed parking. He added that new enclosed
parking will need to be balanced with other factors such as impacts to the neighbors, light and
air, existing trees, etc.
Commission Pratt added the building to the south is not shown on the submitted site plan. He
asked who the existing utility easement and power lines serve. Tom Fowler commented that the
2 - 1 - 4
8/21/2012
Page 5
power lines serve all the Bighorn Terrace units. Linda Moore stated there are three transformers
are on the property, but they could not move them.
Commissioner Pratt added that if there is an easement of 20 feet, if so it would impact numerous
properties. Commissioner Pratt asked whether new trees are being proposed. Bill Gibson
stated that there is no specific ratio required by the Town Code, but the Design Review Board’s
policy is typically a foot-for-foot when possible. The applicants have not yet submitted a design
review application and are not showing any tree replacement on the site plan for the variance.
Commissioner Pratt asked if the 9x19 parking space will be reserved for the applicant.
Wendy St. Charles stated the existing space adjacent to the proposed driveway will continue to
be common.
Commissioner Bird requested clearer plans be submitted.
Commissioner Pratt stated this is a conflict between personal property rights and historic use. He
noted his support for a garage, but not as designed. He added that the criteria for a variance
have not been met because of the impacts to the neighbors, light and air are too great. He
recommended the applicant revise the garage design. He asked the applicant if they would like
to be tabled the application or have the Commission vote on the proposal as submitted.
Wendy St. Charles requested that this item be tabled to a future hearing.
Commissioner Pratt clarified the Commission’s expectation that if tabled the application would be
revised.
Wendy St. Charles asked for design direction from the Commission.
Commissioner Pratt stated the redesigned with less impact to the neighbors’ property to the
south, and that as currently submitted the design does not meet the criteria for a variance.
Commissioner Kurz stated his opposition to the motion because the encroachments to the south
will overcrowd the area. He commented that the neighborhood needs to deal with parking and
Ms. Upton needs to have access to her house.

3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed regulations
amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Chapter 12-22,
View Corridors, Vail Town Code, to allow for the maintenance of adopted view corridors
impacted by vegetation, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120029)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Recommendation of Denial
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5-0-0
Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Commissioner Cartin noted his opposition to the proposal. He believes this proposal is counter
to the Town’s policies. Visitors to Vail appreciate natural vegetation. The trees protect the health
of the creek and screen lesser desirable elements from view.
Commissioner Kurz agrees with Cartin and believes natural mature vegetation is what makes
Vail, Vail and not the buildings. He believes views from the parking deck should include trees.
Visitors need to walk through Town and access the mountain to experience Vail. He felt that this
was an environmental issue and not a DRB issue as trees are a part of the environment.
Commissioner Bird agreed with Cartin and Kurz.
Commissioners Pierce and Pratt had no comment.
Commissioner Kurz made a motion to forward a recommendation of denial.
Commissioner Pierce clarified the proposed language allows landscaping modifications to be
discussed.
Commissioner Pierce asked for clarification about who an applicant could be?
Warren Campbell clarified that it would likely be the Town of Vail, but it could be a co-applicant
with some private property owners. The adopted viewpoints begin on public property, but the
encroaching vegetation could be located on private property.

Linn Brooks of Eagle River Water and Sanitation District clarified that sampling is conducted
twice per year.
Commissioner Kurz identified the need for long term planning and an improvement plan to
address the creek given the short term changes in climate such as flooding last year and drought
this year. He asked if he will see bugs in the creek during his lifetime.

to stop mowing and the same type of maintenance.
Kristen Bertuglia stated that public use areas should be concentrated and limited to avoid the
entire stream tract being trampled.
Commissioner Pratt asked how mag-chloride can be mitigated and how to convince CDOT to
use less.
Tom Kassmel noted that CDOT has been using less, but has no policies to his knowledge to
stop its use.
Commissioner Kurz asked if it is measured so its impacts to the creek can be measured.
Lynne Brooks noted that an increase in chlorides has been measured in the creek as more mag-
chloride is used more often as a de-icer.
Commissioner Kurz noted the safety need for mag-chloride, but is concerned about its impact to
the creek.
Commissioner Pratt asked if certain plant species could mitigate the salt.
Commissioner Cartin asked for additional details about the Town’s oil/sand separators and how
they are or aren’t regulated.
Tom Kassmel provided the specific information.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: August 21, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Five year strategic capital plan.
PRESENTER(S): Kathleen Halloran
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Provide feedback regarding the five year capital plan.
BACKGROUND: See attached memo.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Provide feedback regarding the five year strategic capital plan
in preparation for the 2013 Budget ordinance, with first reading scheduled for October 16th.
ATTACHMENTS:
5 Yr Cap
8/21/2012
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: August 16, 2012
SUBJECT: Five-year capital plan
I. SUMMARY
Discussion of five-year outlook for the Capital Projects Fund, the Real Estate Transfer Tax
Fund and the Vail Reinvestment Authority Fund.
II. DISCUSSION
Historically the town has funded all capital projects through the Capital Projects Fund, and later
through the Real Estate Transfer Tax fund for eligible projects. Now the town has more options
and several of the town’s more recent (and future) major projects have other sources of funding
including: Vail Reinvestment Authority bonds and other Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenue;
Conference Center Fund re-allocation; cost sharing with the Vail Recreation District; and
reallocation from related items previously budgeted.
The Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA) provides funding for projects within Lionshead including:
the now completed Lionshead Transit Center $5.8 million; Lionshead Welcome Center $7.9
million; Library Remodel $2.2 million with another $50,000 from library grants for technology
upgrades; and Sundial Plaza $850,000.
Projects funded with reallocated Conference Center funds include: the Clubhouse at the Vail
Golf Course and Nordic Center $3.8 million with $1.15 million contributed by the Vail Recreation
District and $1.8 million reallocated from related RETT capital line items for a total of $6.8
million; Ford Park Fields $3.5 million with an additional $2.8 million reallocated from related
RETT capital line items for a total of $6.3 million; and Ford Amphitheater renovations $2.1
million with additional funding from Vail Valley Foundation.
Future projects not currently included in this 5-year plan:
Financing the new municipal building and potential re-financing of Timber Ridge are not
included in this first pass at the five-year capital plan. Also not included is any incremental
parking other than the CDOT requirements.
For the new municipal building, staff has identified certificates of participation or cash as the
best financing alternatives. Previous estimates of the total cost of the project were $15 million
with an updated estimate expected for Council’s meeting on September 4. Sale of a portion of
the municipal site for the medical office building will generate $5 million which can be directed
3 - 1 - 1
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
toward this project leaving a balance of approximately $10 million to be funded. Based on
current projections, there is sufficient cash in the Capital Projects Fund to provide $10
million of net cost for the municipal building. If circumstances change, certificates of
participation could be issued with the municipal building as collateral at any time, even after the
building is completed and placed in service.
Although there is financing in place for Timber Ridge, the current arrangement is not
sustainable. The property was purchased in 2003 primarily through variable rate taxable bonds
guaranteed by a letter of credit drawn on US Bank. These bonds are repaid from project
revenue and currently have $17,740,000 of bond principal outstanding. US Bank renewed the
letter of credit on July 15th of this year, but increased the letter of credit fee from 1.25% to
2.50% - a difference of approximately $225,000 annually – and also increased the required debt
service coverage ratio from 1.15 to 1.20. These increases, coupled with a significant drop in
rental income starting in 2010, make the current financing unsustainable. A review of financing
alternatives this spring indicated a need to pay down at least a portion of the debt in order to
refinance under the current variable rate bond structure or through other methods including
certificates of participation or bank financing. A potential redevelopment of the property by Vail
Timber Ridge LLC failed to materialize and was discontinued in December. A different team of
developers is currently looking at the property with an October 15th date to respond with a
proposal, if they feel it is feasible. If nothing comes of the latest initiative, staff will re-look at
financing alternatives; however, the ability to refinance the entire debt is unlikely. Staff
recommends keeping General Fund balances at approximately the current level to
provide flexibility in the future if the Timber Ridge Affordable Housing Corporation board
needs to request funds to stabilize the Timber Ridge debt.
If the town pursues additional permanent parking spaces, the cost could be in the range of
$22 million to $32 million and financing would need to be evaluated. However, incremental
parking revenue would not be sufficient to support this level of debt and there would clearly be a
net cost to the town.
Projects included in the current 5-year plan:
Staff has reviewed and updated the previously-approved five-year capital plan from the 2012
budget process. Attached documentation for your consideration:
• 5-Year Detail of the Capital and RETT Funds
• 5-Year Detail of the VRA capital budget
• Projects not currently included in the capital budgets, with potential funding sources
identified (“Unfunded List”)
• Supporting documentation for capital items made up of many smaller projects (such as
Facilities Capital Maintenance). See the reference code at the left of the capital project
name on the 5-year worksheets, for example C-1 or R-1.
Capital Projects Fund
Annual revenue for this fund is projected at an average of $9.4 million per year, not including
federal grants, assuming the same split of sales tax revenue with 61% going to the General
Fund and 39% to the Capital Projects Fund. Annual capital maintenance costs average $2.9
million per year. This leaves approximately $6.5 million of cash funding available each year for
larger projects such as neighborhood road reconstruction, parking improvements, variable
message signs, etc. In March of 2010, Council determined that General Fund reserves are
sufficient to cover unforeseen capital items as well as a General Fund shortfall and additional
3 - 1 - 2
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 3
reserves in other funds are not necessary. The five-year strategic capital plan presented today
results in an ending fund balance of $20.1 million in 2017 before inclusion of the municipal
building project.
Plan revisions/additions:
• Neighborhood Roads were pushed out by one year, with Rockledge Road (a shared
project with the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District) planned for 2014. Remaining
East Vail road reconstructions are planned for 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
• Neighborhood Bridges were also pushed out by one year, with Nugget Lane and Bridge
Road bridges to be designed in 2014/2015 and constructed in 2016/2017. Both of these
bridges have support from federal grants totaling $1,024,800.
• Eight buses are scheduled for replacement in 2016, totaling $3,524,000 ($440,500 per
bus).
• Business Systems Replacement includes $350,000 to replace the Community
Development permitting software in 2013. This project was originally planned for 2011,
but was deferred. Now staff is experiencing significant compatibility issues due to the
age of the system (16 years). This project has been reviewed by the IT steering
committee, and will undergo a request for information (RFI) process in order to expedite
selection of a vendor. Several vendors were reviewed two years ago, but the steering
committee agreed that a new review is prudent given the rapid pace of technology
changes.
• The town's phone system infrastructure is also in dire need of replacement after a 15-
year life span. This expenditure of $150,000 is requested for 2013 to coincide with the
town's two-year interim location and will set the stage for the new municipal offices.
• A request for $60,000 in 2013 relates to a hardware appliance required for the upcoming
Intergraph software update purchased by the Dispatch Services Fund. Intergraph is the
software used by both the 911 call center as well as the town's public safety
departments.
• With audio-visual equipment in many town buildings such as Donovan Pavilion, the
municipal building, the Grand View room at the Lionshead Welcome Center, the West
Vail Fire Station and the Vail Library, staff is requesting an annual maintenance account
to provide funding for repair and/or replacement of this equipment. Some replacement
in Donovan Pavilion is anticipated for 2013 at a cost of $30,000, and annual
maintenance is estimated at $10,000 per year.
• An increase to the fiber optics / cabling systems maintenance account is requested for
2013 (for total expense of $39,000) to replace cabling in the Vail Transit Center, the
Public Works administration building and at the East Vail Fire Station. Annual
expenditures range from $15,000 to $21,000.
Reductions to cost were reflected within the town's capital maintenance programs such as
Parking Structures, Facilities and Capital Street Maintenance. Over the five-year span, these
progams were reduced by more than $2.2 million in either appropriate project deferrals or
updates to cost estimates. Another $1.4 million was removed, originally budgeted for road
improvements and rockfall mitigation in connection with proposed redevelopment of Timber
Ridge.

Town of Vail Page 4
RETT Fund
Annual revenue for this fund is projected at an average of $4.3 million per year. Annual capital
maintenance costs average $2.7 million per year. This leaves approximately $1.6 million per
year of cash funding available for larger projects without the utilization of fund balance. The
RETT fund balance is projected to be $7.7 million by the end of 2017.
Plan revisions/additions:
• A bike lane from Red Sandstone to Buffehr Creek has been scheduled one year earlier
(now in 2015) at a reduced cost of $1.5 million. Original cost was $2.1 million.
• A bike lane on the south frontage road from the Vail Cascade to the West Vail round-
about was originally planned for 2016 at a cost of $1.6 million. This project is now
proposed with two phases (2013: from West Vail roundabout to Matterhorn and 2014:
from Matterhorn to Vail Cascade) at a cost of $1.1 million in total ($500,000 savings).
• Proposed improvements to the Gore Valley Trail include $425,000 in 2013 for the
section behind the library (from Lionshead to W. Meadow Drive) and $250,000 in 2014
to rebuild the section from Matterhorn to the W. Vail Conoco.
• Replacement of the temporary skate park located on the top of the Lionshead parking
structure is proposed at an estimated cost of $260,000. A permanent skate park was
planned for 2016 at an cost of $1.0 million, but a location has yet to be determined. The
permanent skate park has been removed from the capital plan for now, as a new
temporary skate park will last another five years.
• The town’s portion of a project to improve six portals into Ford Park is requested at $1.0
million in 2014. Vail Valley Foundation has committed to matching this contribution.
The following projects were updated with increases to cost:
• Street Furniture replacement was increased for 2013 and 2014 due to requests for an
increased number of bike racks and benches throughout town. Later years were
reduced for annual maintenance. Net increase over the five years totals $60,000.
• Park/Playground Capital Maintenance was adjusted by $25,000 over the five-year period
to account for changes to park and playground improvements. These improvements
include playground surface refurbishing, replacing bear-proof trash cans,
painting/staining of play structures, picnic shelter additions/repairs, and fence
maintenance.
Cost reductions include nearly $100,000 of savings over four years in annual park and
landscape maintenance and $22,000 of savings in recreation path maintenance during 2013.
There is also $1.1 million in cost reduction for bike lane projects on both the north and south
frontage roads.
Capital maintenance and replacement of assets managed by the Vail Recreation District (VRD)
will be updated during the annual capital meeting with VRD based on the terms of their lease.
The attached capital plan is based on the prior years' maintenance programming and estimates,
although no significant changes are anticipated. Any maintenance items for the Golf Clubhouse
were removed in light of the upcoming remodel. For more details on individual projects, please
refer to page R-4 and R-5.

Town of Vail Page 5
Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA)
Several projects are proposed over the next five years, as reflected in the Capital Projects Fund.
The VRA will reimburse that fund those projects, totaling just over $9.0 million over that time
period. The VRA fund balance is projected to be $3.6 million by the end of 2017.
“Unfunded” Project List
This represents projects not currently included in the five-year capital plan, but with potential
funding sources identified. The list has been updated for the removal of projects that are
proposed for funding, and the addition of “newly-identified” projects including items related to
recent input from Council members such as CDOT parking at Middle Creek, landscape
improvements at the East Vail Interchange, suggested modifications for the Vail Golf Course
and Nordic Center project, path lighting from Red Sandstone to the pedestrian overpass and the
reconstruction of the bike path on the north end of the pedestrian overpass.
Please provide staff with feedback regarding prioritization or changes to any projects. As they
are approved and funded/financed, projects will be transferred to the appropriate capital
budget(s).
Staff is requesting feedback from Council on the following:
• Is there support for the projects currently included in the 5-year strategic plan?
• Regarding unfunded projects, are there projects that should be included in the 5-year
plan? Do you want to change the priority of any projects, or assign a priority to the
“newly-identified” projects?
II. NEXT STEPS
Staff will use Council’s input in developing the Town Manager’s budget (includes General,
Capital, RETT and other funds), which will come before Council for a first look on September
18th and ordinance readings on October 16th and November 6th. The Vail Reinvestment
Authority budget resolution will be presented on November 6th as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Public Works Department
DATE: April 6th, 2010
SUBJECT: Capital Street Maintenance and Pavement Management
________________________________________________________________________
The Town of Vail currently maintains 32 miles of paved roads, of which all but ~7 miles
have been reconstructed since 1988. Currently the only town roads that have not been
reconstructed since 1988 include; Mill Creek Circle, portions of Vail Valley Drive, and
East Vail (in general all roads east of exit 180, with some exceptions). Prior to the start
of the neighborhood reconstruction projects in 1988, road disrepair was the number one
neighborhood problem, as indicated by the 1989 and 1990 citizen surveys. Since that
time 25 miles of roads have been reconstructed and a more diligent maintenance and
preventative maintenance program has been established thru both physical
maintenance activities and policy directives. The reconstruction and maintenance efforts
can be recognized by the trend of the citizen survey input shown on the attached graph.
Pavement Inspections/Ratings
In the mid 1990’s the town began inspecting road conditions and in 2001 we began
tracking the conditions based on the industry standard inspection criteria developed by
the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). Since that time the town has completed four
townwide inspections of our existing pavement infrastructure. This data is used to better
understand pavement condition and assist staff in determining where maintenance
dollars are best spent to extend the life of each pavement section. The ratings for the
town’s roads are shown in the tables attached, each showing all four inspection year’s
Overall Condition Index (OCI), also know as Pavement Condition Index (PCI); the first
being sorted by the first year’s inspection (2001) and the second sorted by the latest
inspection (2009). Also attached are graphs which show the OCI trends for the overall
town, overall OCI town trends by zone, and overall detailed OCI ratings by zone with a
list of corresponding major maintenance activities for that period.
As depicted on the tables and graphs the Town’s maintenance program has brought the
Town’s roads up from an average rating ~70 in 2001 to an average rating of ~85 in
2009. It is the town’s goal to maintain the majority of our roads in a “satisfactory” to
“good” level rating, between 70-100 (see standard PCI rating scale below). We currently
have 80% of our roads at that level today. This success is largely due to the
investments made in asphalt overlays over the past 4 years. Without such investments
it is estimated that we would currently only have ~25% within a satisfactory level.
The below graph shows the generally accepted pavement deterioration curve. The time
to failure is relative to the traffic loading, environment, and original design and
construction. As the graph depicts, pavements deteriorate extremely fast once they drop
below the “Fair” category and maintenance and rehabilitation costs increase
substantially. This is why it is importation to continuously complete preventative
maintenance on all pavements rated as “fair” to “good”.
3 - 1 - 25
8/21/2012
The ACOE has developed a rating system that is based on 15 distresses that can be
seen in a pavement, ranging from weathering to alligator cracking to potholes. The OCI
or PCI is developed based on an algorithm of the amount of distress, multiplied by the
severity of the distress and the type of distress. Different distress are weighted based
upon its structural or ride quality impacts. A structural type distress will reduce a rating
more significantly than a ride quality type distress. For example, a road that is
completely alligator cracking will rate significantly lower than one that is completely
weathered. This is because alligator cracking indicates pavement/structural failure and
weathering is an environmental distress that effects the wearing surface only. The later
may be remediated with a surface seal whereas the alligator cracking must be fixed by
total reconstruction/full depth patching.

3 - 1 - 26
8/21/2012
Medium Severity Weathering
Many of the roads that the town has not reconstructed (i.e East Vail pre overlays) exhibit
excessive alligator cracking indicating pavement/structural failure, a distress that can
only be covered up for a short time with a “bandaid” overlay. A permanent fix requires
reconstruction. These particular roads are ~34 years old, but were not “properly”
constructed originally. They existed as gravel roads until 1976 when they were paved
over as a result of the opportunity when Vail Pass was constructed.
Maintenance Goals
Our maintenance goal is to maintain “satisfactory” levels on the majority of our roads and
provide adequate preventative maintenance for all roads reconstructed after 1988 in
order to extend their design life to or beyond 50 years. Those roads never reconstructed
or reconstructed prior to 1988 (those mentioned above), generally already have
deteriorating pavements and/or subgrades and have been maintained with “bandaids” to
keep them in satisfactory condition until an opportunity/budget to reconstruct them is
available. These “bandaids” are not expected to last as long as preventative
maintenance treatments placed on reconstructed roads. For example, the asphalt
overlays placed in East Vail over the past 3 years are expected to last in satisfactory
condition for ~5 to 8 years instead of a typical 15 to 20 years when placed over a
reconstructed/new road. This is because of the poor condition that the pavement was in
prior to the overlay, which speeds up deterioration of any new surface treatment.
Road Reconstruction
This year we plan on reconstructing Mill Creek Circle in conjunction with an ERWSD
waterline and sewer project. Mill Creek Circle has not been reconstructed since its
original construction in 1967. Vail Valley Drive was expected to be reconstructed along
with Mill Creek Circle, however its reconstruction has been postponed to some time in
the future to be determined. The East Vail road reconstruction projects have been most
recently pushed out to 2012 and 2013, however they are currently considered unfunded,
but do show up in the 5 year budget.
Road reconstruction not only provides a new road and structural subgrade to start from,
it also provides needed drainage improvements and safety enhancements, that help
extend the life of the roads and provide a safer environment for vehicular and pedestrian
traffic. Drainage improvements are a critical component to extending the service life of
any pavement structure. Any introduction of water into the pavement structure (which
includes the surface material and up to 4’ below the surface) via surface penetration
(cracks, voids, etc…) or subsurface migration thru groundwater, shallow ditches, or
3 - 1 - 27
8/21/2012
surface water running too close to the pavement edge, often causes premature
pavement failure. These failures are generally structural failures due to
shifting/consolidating soils from groundwater flow and expansion/contraction of moist
soils due to the typical freeze-thaw cycles, which are severe in our climate. Drainage
can be kept away from the pavement structure by various means; adequate cross-slope
within the paved surface to shed water to the side of the road, gutters or roadside
ditches to carry water away into an adequate storm sewer system, or subsurface
permeable drain systems to capture groundwater and carry it away from the pavement
substructure. By providing these types of drainage improvements, along with adequate
structural subgrade and pavement, a roadway should last a minimum of 50 years or
significantly longer as long as adequate preventative maintenance is provided.
Maintenance Treatments
The combined effects of traffic loading and the environment will cause every pavement,
no matter how well-designed/constructed to deteriorate over time. Maintenance and
rehabilitation are what we use to slow down or reset this deterioration process.
Maintenance actions, such as crack sealing, surface/slurry seals and patching help slow
the rate of deterioration by identifying and addressing specific pavement deficiencies
that contribute to overall deterioration. Rehabilitation is the act of repairing portions of
an existing pavement to reset the deterioration process generally done by milling and
asphalt overlaying an existing deteriorating pavement.
The general maintenance schedule the Town budgets to is as follows;
x Crack Seal: On an as needed basis and generally every 5 years Town wide.
x Asphalt patching: On an as needed basis for emergency and routine repairs
x Surface/Slurry Seals: Generally on a schedule of every 5-7 years
x Asphalt Overlays: Generally on a schedule of about every 15-20 years for newly
constructed roads and ~10 years for pavements older than 20 to 30 years.
Crack seal products are used to fill individual pavement cracks to prevent entry of water
or other non-compressible substances such as sand, dirt, rocks or weeds. Crack
sealant is typically used on early stage longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, reflection
cracks and block cracks. Crack filler material is typically some form of rubberized
asphalt or sand slurry. Before applying crack sealant, cracks need to be routed out and
cleaned. Crack sealing is best done in moderate temperatures (spring or fall) and is
most effective if performed immediately after cracks develop.
Patches are a common method of treating an area of localized distress. Patches can be
either full-depth where they extend from the pavement surface to the subgrade or partial
where they do not extend through the full depth of existing pavement.
Full-depth patches are necessary where the entire depth of pavement is distressed.
Often times, the underlying base, subbase or subgrade material is the distresses root
cause and will also need repair. Partial depth patches are used for pavement distresses
like raveling, rutting, delamination and cracking where the depth of crack does not
extend through the entire pavement depth.
Patching material can be just about any HMA or cold mix asphalt material as well as
certain types of slurries. Typically some form of HMA is used for permanent patches,
while cold mix is often used for temporary emergency repairs.

Slurry seal is a homogenous mixture of emulsified asphalt, water, well-graded fine
aggregate and mineral filler that has a creamy fluid-like appearance when applied and is
used to (1) treat existing pavement that exhibits moderate to severe raveling due to
aging or (2) to improve skid resistance. A slurry seal contains aggregate and can thus
correct minor surface defects in a variably textured surface - filling cracks and voids,
sealing weather-tight, and providing color and texture delineation in a single pass (ISSA,
2001b).
Non-structural overlays do not involve extensive structural design and generally
contribute little, if anything, to a pavement's structural capacity. Non-structural overlays
are generally thin surface overlays on the order of 1.0 in. to 2.0 in. that are used to
replace an existing wearing surface and restore a deteriorating pavement surface,
improve ride quality, correct minor surface defects, improve safety characteristics such
as skid resistance and drainage, enhance appearance, reduce road-tire noise.
Structural Overlays are designed to add structural support to the existing pavement.
Because of this, they are structurally designed and are thicker than non-structural
overlays.

8/21/2012
To: Town Council
From: Greg Hall, Stan Zemler
Date: August 21, 2012
Subject: Strategic Parking Plan Update
I. PURPOSE
To provide a 10 year plan for public parking in the Town of Vail and develop
strategies to achieve Councils goals related to parking.
II. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail during its history has been required to deal with parking issues and
today is no different than in the past. Parking issues are dynamic and change
overtime. The following is the wrap up of the previous parking discussions and a
plan which provides steps moving forward to address the issues.
Current Goals
• 15 days of South Frontage Road winter overflow parking
• 15 days of South Frontage Road summer overflow parking
• Increase the current supply by 400 spaces based on 2007/2008 season
numbers to meet an existing deficit to maintain 15 days of winter overflow
parking.
o The Town and private sector have successfully since this time
provided additional spaces to reduce the required number today to a
59 -199 space deficit, see attachment for further detail.
• Over the next 10 years, some additional spaces are required to meet future
demand, which was predicted to be 600 additional spaces over a 25 year
period.
• Efficiently manage the current supply of town parking spaces
Current Parking Plan Policy Objectives
• Service to Core Markets
o Customers and guests of commercial villages
o Skiers
4 - 1 - 1
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
o Employees
• Manage the Yield –currently the peak and non peak periods as well as cost
to benefits are only associated with passes
• Simplify the Product
• Design Program so it is Revenue Neutral
• Increase Safety
Current Parking Plan Guidelines
– Strongly encourage the use of transit, carpooling/vanpool
– Recover transit enhancement costs through parking
– Parking cost increases will be borne by parking
– Encourage turnover of short term parking spaces
– Pass prices reflect a relative value received based on the daily rate (i.e.
season cost is based on 22 weeks at daily rate or discounted daily rate)
– Strictly enforce parking violations
Are the goals, policies and guidelines aligned moving into the future?
III. PARKING ISSUE DISCUSSION
Defining the parking problem and what solutions or improvements are needed
The Town Council over the years has identified various issues, affirmation of the
issues is important in order to prioritize desired outcomes.
Some issues have been clearly stated such as:
• Limit any overflow of frontage road parking to less than 15 days in both winter
and summer
• Shortage of existing inventory
• Running efficient parking operations from both a cost as well as utilization
standpoint
Other issues staff would like additional direction on:
• Desire to phase out the use of north frontage road parking
• Provide availability of additional close in structured parking for guests
• Limit the extent (volume) of the large overflow parking surges
• Summer overflow parking demand now exceeds winter
4 - 1 - 2
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 3
While other issues are inherent in discussing parking, these issues need to be
understood regarding trade offs and timing:
• Predictability of the parking demands earlier to address the readiness of
operations
• Cost of providing parking inventory is expensive and requires land as well
• Difficult to quickly and easily produce increased parking supply
• Flexible operational goals/policies need to change from time to time
• Trying to satisfy various users, with varying desires of parking location and
price during the day, season and year.
Proposed Additional Parking Goals
• Continue management techniques to reduce the need to invest significant
capital funds to increase the supply
• Reduce the cost of managed parking
• Create flexibility in the plan to easily adapt to changing conditions
• Efficient use of existing parking supply
• Increase the parking supply
• Supply may move but don’t diminish the total number of spaces available
IV. PARKING SUPPLY DISCUSSION
Current Conditions
Today the town of Vail owns and operates 2700 parking spaces as outlined in the
attached parking space chart.
There are also 524 paid privately owned and operated public spaces. Many of which
have been added in the past several years, with a great majority being used in an
interim basis.
There are also a variety of locations with free varying time availability spaces known
to workers and visitors throughout town which equals 482.
The total number of paid and free public parking spaces is 3706 spaces.
In addition, there has been the creation of 350 private parking or private club spaces
which has reduced some burden on the public spaces.
See attachment for additional detail.
4 - 1 - 3
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 4
Supply goal
The Town of Vail has a current deficit of 59 -199 spaces today, again see
attachment for detailed explanation.
In addition to the current deficit of 59-199 spaces, in the next ten years the town
should pursue 200-300 additional spaces to meet the town’s long term goals for
future growth as well as the long term unreliability of some of the private sector
public spaces.
The total town goal would be to pursue 259-499 spaces assuming the current public
supply is maintained.
Potential Opportunities to Increase the Parking Supply
1. Maintain the current use of CDOT South Frontage Road overflow spaces --
reducing the number would require making up the shortfall elsewhere at a
significant increased cost. Cost as budgeted $480,000 for 2012 and $212,000 in
2014.
2. Ever Vail 150-200 early action spaces – this could provide a significant addition
to the parking supply in 2013. Cost to the Town $0.
3. Ever Vail 400 publicexpanded spaces when development is complete -- this
provides significant additional structured spaces in the future. Cost to the town $0
at Ever Vail, some incremental costs if constructed at the Lionhead Structure,
however far less than the cost per space without Vail Resorts contribution. The
difference in cost could be offset at the time by the $ 4.3 M Vail Resorts
commitment.
4. Maintain the supply of parking on the North Frontage Road – trading the location
of these spaces to another location could hurt the goal of in increasing the total
supply, These spaces are relatively inexpensive compared to other alternatives.
NFR west of WV Roundabout
o CDOT retains ownership of the road $ 20,188/space
o Town of Vail takes over ownership of the road $ 555/space and
annual maintenance costs
Safeway $ 9,057/space
Middle Creek $ 24,393/space
5. Town of Vail provides additional surface spaces Ford Park and South Frontage
Road previously identified – there are issues with many of the locations
4 - 1 - 4
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 5
identified, the locations are not as desirable as close in structured spaces
however the cost per space is more reasonable than structured spaces. Cost
range is $ 35,000-$62,000/space
6. Town of Vail provides additional Lionshead structured spaces as previously
identified – undertaking this task as only a Town of Vail project is undesirable
compared to working in cooperation with other opportunities as the town has
done in the past. Cost range is $90.000-$125,000/space.
7. Provide incentives to the private sector to offer current available spaces for use
to the general public through code amendments or potential financial incentives
backed by the Town of Vail, Vail Resorts or other parties – this can be
accomplished if the economics and conditions exist to work out for all parties,
may not be sustainable as a long term solution as the private sector may back
out at a future date if not properly secured, issues do develop concerning
general public confusion regarding expectations on operating rules and pricing
Cost per space could be $0 to the Town of Vail, to some annual cost per space
offset.
8. Provide development incentives to construct new privately operated public
parking spaces – this can be accomplished if the economics and conditions exist
to work for all parties, this can be established as a long term solution, issues do
develop concerning general public confusion regarding expectations on operating
rules and pricing. Cost per space is $0 to the Town of Vail
9. Aggressively manage the parking demand to free up spaces being occupied by
users who may shift transportation modes or travel patterns – actions are
sometimes seen as punitive and come across as favoring different user groups
over other user groups. Incentives are harder to manage and require necessary
accounting controls. Cost to the Town is little capital investment, however usually
some additional operating costs. The true cost is in potential customer
dissatisfaction.
V. DISCUSSION OF PARKING STRATETIGIES

From: West Vail businesses
DATE: 8/15/12
RE: North Frontage Road Parking options
As businesses in the West Vail area, we would like the Town of Vail Council to
consider continuing the free and/or permitted parking along the North Frontage
Road in West Vail.
We feel these are the benefits of North Frontage Road parking:
1. Less parking pressure on our parking lots that serve our customers and
employees.
2. Less management and oversight of our parking areas
3. Increased customer traffic and sales tax revenues for the West Vail
neighborhood and our businesses
4. Spirit of cooperation shown by TOV to offer Vail Valley residents affordable
and acceptable parking options
5. Affordable food and beverage and consumer services conveniently located
near skier vehicles
6. Very close proximity to TOV bus stops and convenience for skiers

Staff Memorandum
8/21/2012
To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development Department
Date: August 21, 2012
Subject: Updates to the Employee Housing Strategic Plan
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to request policy direction from the Vail Town
Council in order to develop updates and amendments for the Town of Vail Employee
Housing Strategic Plan.
II. INTRODUCTION
Historically, the Town of Vail has recognized the need for deed restricted employee
housing within Vail. The Town quantified the need and set a goal when the Employee
Housing Strategic Plan (Plan) was adopted on September 8, 2008. The goal is “to
ensure there is deed restricted housing for at least 30% of Vail’s workforce within the
Town of Vail.”
Since the Town adopted the Plan market conditions have changed throughout Eagle
County and numerous action items from the Plan have been completed, including:
• 15 new deed restricted employee housing units (EHU) have been established
• 124 rental beds at First Chair added
• Implementation of the EHU Deed Restriction Exchange Program
o 14 Exchanges have occurred
• Modification of Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning to require a portion
of required mitigation on-site for demo-rebuilds and new construction
• Rezoning, site planning and civil engineering for up to 48 new EHUs at
Chamonix Commons
• Arosa Duplex – two LEED Silver Certified homes in West Vail
With policy direction from the Town Council, staff will work with the Vail Local Housing
Authority and the Planning and Environmental Commission, as required, to develop a
list of proposed updates and amendments for Town Council to consider adding to the
Plan. The Plan currently has three policy statements:
5 - 1 - 1
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
• The Town will impose regulatory requirements
o Development will be required to address a portion of its housing demand
within the Town of Vail; and
o New development and redevelopment will be required to address a portion
of its housing at the development site.
• Development and acquisition initiated by the Town
o To address employee housing needs beyond the regulatory requirements
for new development, and
o To respond to the desire to promote a more diverse and vibrant local
community.
• Form regional partnerships
o These efforts will address employee housing needs beyond the regulatory
requirements by actively seeking partnerships, including:
Public/Private, and
Multi-Jurisidictional.
The Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA) is has completed a study with BBC Research
& Consulting quantifying the Economic Value of the Town of Vail’s Investment in
Employee Housing, dated March 29, 2012. The study enumerated the economic
benefits as well as benefits that go beyond direct economics. It concluded, “Employee
housing is a form of insurance in an uncertain business climate. In light of an uncertain
economy, and the economic benefits of employee housing, the nature and scale of new
employee housing should be part of the ongoing community dialogue about public
investment and the ongoing success of Vail.”
Today, commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning (“keep up”) are designed to
conjunctively ensure there is deed restricted employee housing for at least 30% of new
employees generated by new development and redevelopment. The regulatory
requirements provide multiple methods of mitigation and do not require employee
housing be provided for a specific type of wage earners. The goal is for development to
provide the type(s) of employee housing most suited to the needs of that development’s
future employees.
“Catch Up” is a portion of the Town’s goal that is exclusively within the purview and
control of the Town of Vail. Based on the Town’s goal and existing deed restricted
properties in Vail, the deed restricted EHU gap is currently 677 beds. Entry-level
workers comprise a significant portion of Vail’s workforce based on zoning regulations
(requirement for retail square footage on the first level in Vail’s commercial cores) and
the resort influence on business in Vail.
• Redevelopment of Timber Ridge provides the Town with the most significant
opportunity to provide additional “catch up” affordable rental units that address
the housing needs of Vail’s employees/jobs.
5 - 1 - 2
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 3
The remainder of the “Catch Up” opportunities and policies can be focused on for-sale
units and/or a different type of rental product than currently exists in Vail. The land for
large rental development is very limited in Vail and it may not be practical to provide a
“high-end” rental development. With “catch up” being the responsibility of the Town, the
types of housing and demographics served is fully within the control of the Town.
There are opportunities for the Town of Vail to add to the quantity and quality of deed
restricted for-sale housing in Vail, with a particular focus on families earning greater
than 120% of Area Median Income ($101,760 per year for a family of four – down
$2,160 from 2011). Some opportunities to develop for-sale housing on existing Town
owned land could include:
• Chamonix Commons currently has complete civil engineering construction
documents. The site plan calls for a total of up to 48 units. The site plan
includes 5 duplexes (10 units). (approx. 4 acres)
• With zoning in place and civil engineering drawings complete, Chamonix
Commons provides the Town with its largest opportunity to add new
employee housing units.
• 2507 Arosa Drive – a Town owned single-family unit on a lot zoned for a duplex.
Previous studies have shown the Manager’s Residence (built in 1979) could be
redeveloped and an additional new unit could be added. (approx. 0.33 acres)
• Zoning allows two units to exist where today there is only one town-owned
unit. While this location provides a desirable location for a new employee
housing unit, it also requires the Town to build a new town manager’s unit.
• Land Trades – Staff has previously discussed potential land trades with Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District to provide more parcels in Vail for the
development of employee housing.
• While certain parcels of land have been discussed at a staff level, a
partnership agreement would need to identify specific parcels and
potentially rezoned to allow for new employee housing units.
III. OPTIONS
1. Add additional information to the Plan
Adding additional information to the Plan will allow the Town to continue to check its
progress against its desired outcomes, related to employees and housing in Vail.
Since the Plan has been adopted there has been a significant change in the median
price per square foot for real estate in Vail. The median price per square foot reached a
high in 2008 of $897/square foot.
5 - 1 - 3
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 4
During this same period of time Area Median Income (AMI) has remained fairly flat. The
following chart illustrates change in 120% of AMI for a two-person household in Eagle
County. AMI has increased approximately 7% from 2007 to 2011.
For reference, a household earning approximately $100,000 per year could “afford” a
$325,000 mortgage or a purchase price of $390,000. This assumes a 20% down
payment ($65,000) and a 6% interest rate (typical average rate).
The Plan currently does not contain an extensive amount of data regarding wages
earned working in the Town of Vail. The Plan does show the wages of existing Vail
households in 2007. The additional job/wage data should be added to the Plan to
ensure the mix of housing options matches the types of jobs/wages earned in Vail.
At the time the Plan was adopted this information was not included because the Town
wanted flexibility to add new housing based on opportunities that became available and
it was understood the private sector would provide the housing most suited to the types
of employees needed (equating to wages paid/earned) for the development that was
providing it.

“The Economic Value of the Town of Vail’s Investment in Employee Housing”, dated
March 29, 2012 could also be added as an addendum to the Employee Housing
Strategic Plan as it provides specific analysis and back ground for decision making
around the value of investing in employee housing.
2. Update the Implementation Matrix of the Plan
Currently the Implementation Matrix has Chamonix Commons as a high priority
item. Neither of the other opportunities listed above (2507 Arosa Drive and Land
Swaps) are included in the Implementation Matrix. With Town Council direction either
of those could be included.
In order to focus on more family oriented housing (larger, more expensive homes) the
Implementation Matrix should be updated to include Town owned parcels of land that
are in locations that are desirable to families. 2507 Arosa Drive is an opportunity to add
a housing unit desirable to families. Eagle River Water and Sanitation District has
expressed a willingness to be partners with the Town to develop additional deed
restricted housing on land they own in Vail. Based on previous analysis there is the
opportunity to construct a number of additional duplexes from East Vail to West Vail.
3. Amend Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning mitigation methods to
incent certain types of housing
Amendments to the methods of mitigation for Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary
Zoning could be made to incent developers to provide larger employee housing units.
Examples:
Example No. 1
2,000 square feet are required by Inclusionary Zoning
- The developer could provide five 400 square foot units to fulfill their
obligation
- With an incentive the developer could provide one 1,600 square foot unit if
there was a multiplier bonus of 1.25
o The down-side is nothing ensures the 1,600 square foot unit will be
occupied by a family
Example No. 2
4 employees are required by Commercial Linkage
- Currently the maximum number of employees that can be “credited” in a
three or more bedroom unit is 3.5 and the minimum square feet is 1,225
- With an incentive the developer could provide one unit that is at least 1,400
square feet and be given credit for 4 employees rather than a cap at 3.5
employees
o The down-side is nothing ensures the larger unit will be occupied by
a family
4. Zoning Regulation Text Amendments
• Review rezoning certain areas in Vail to incent development of EHUs
• Streamline housing regulations to reduce or eliminate process, as appropriate

PRESENTER(S): Bill Gibson, Community Development Department
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The applicant requests that the Vail Town Council
approves Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, on second reading. The applicant also requests
that the Vail Town Council approves Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012.
BACKGROUND: On November 14, 2011, the Planning and Environmental Commission
forwarded a recommendation of approval, with modifications, to the Vail Town Council for the
proposed Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, and , Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, by a vote
of 4-1-1 (Rediker opposed and Pratt recused). The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to
establish a new zone district, the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District; and the purpose of
the proposed resolution is to establish related design guidelines as part of the Vail Village
Master Plan. The policy objectives of the new zone district and related design guidelines are
as follows: - Streamlining the development review process by establishing a new zone district
to specifically address townhouse properties.- Create incentives for redevelopment of existing
townhouse properties. - Preserve the existing residential character of the townhouse
properties and the neighborhood. On May 1, 2012, the Vail Town Council approved the first
reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, by a vote of 6-0-1 (Foley opposed), with the
modifications that Section 12-6J-9 allows not more than one hundred twenty five square feet of
GRFA for each one hundred square feet of total site area (i.e. 1.25 GRFA ratio). The Vail
Town Council tabled Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, to correspond with the second reading
of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012. The Vail Town Council held a subsequent public hearing
on May 15th and a work session on July 17th to further deliberate the proposed new zone
district. On August 7, 2012, the Vail Town Council tabled the proposed ordinance and
resolution, and directed Staff to prepare amendments to the proposed new zone district to
allow an unlimited amount of GRFA, a lower building height limit of 38 feet, maintain the
current 30% landscape area requirements, and to add additional front yard landscaping
guidelines in the new zone district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Environmental Commission recommends
the Vail Town Council approves the second reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012. The
Planning and Environmental Commission also recommends the Vail Town Council approves
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012.

(Attachment B) have been attached for review. The proposed new zone district and
associated master plan amendments are anticipated to be applied to the existing
townhouse properties located within Vail Village.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
On August 7, 2012, the Vail Town Council tabled the proposed ordinance and
resolution, and directed Staff to prepare amendments to the proposed new zone district

The Community Development Department recommends the following amendments to
Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012 (text deleted is in strikethrough and text added is bold
red):
12-6J-1: PURPOSE:
The Vail Village Townhouse District is intended to provide sites for, and maintain the
unique residential character of, existing townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek
Sub-Area of the Vail Village Master Plan area of the Town of Vail. The Vail Village
Townhouse district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other
amenities commensurate with townhomes, and to maintain the desirable residential and
resort qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site development
standards. Certain nonresidential uses are permitted as conditional uses, which relate
to the nature of Vail as a winter and summer recreation and year-round community and,
where permitted, are intended to blend harmoniously with the residential character of the
zone district.
This zone district was established to regulate existing townhome properties that were
legally nonconforming in the High Density Multiple Family District. The Vail Village
Townhouse District is meant to encourage and provide incentives for redevelopment of
existing townhouse properties in accordance with the Vail Village Master Plan. The
incentives in this zone district include addressing both townhouse projects and
individually platted townhouse lots, reductions in lot area standards, reductions in
setbacks, increases in density, increases in gross residential floor area (GRFA),
reductions in landscaping area, and changes in parking design requirements. More
restrictive design considerations have been applied to these properties in accordance
with the Vail Village Master Plan to maintain the unique residential character of existing
townhouse developments in Vail Village.
12-6J-7: HEIGHT:
For a flat roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed forty feet (40) thirty feet (35). For
a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed forty three feet (43) thirty eight
feet (38).
12-6J-9: GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA:
Not more than one hundred twenty five (125) square feet of gross residential floor area
(GRFA) shall be permitted for each one hundred (100) square feet of total site area.
Dwelling units in this zone district shall not be entitled to additional gross residential floor
area under Section 12-15-5: Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance), or
Section 12-15-4: Interior Conversions of this title. There shall be no exclusion to gross
residential floor area granted for enclosed garage space within individual dwelling units
as referenced in Chapter 15 Gross Residential Floor Area. An unlimited amount of
gross residential floor area (GRFA) shall be permitted on each site.
12-6J-11: LANDSCAPING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT:
At least twenty percent (20%) thirty percent (30%) of the total site area shall be
landscaped.
The Community Development Department recommends the following amendments to
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012 (text deleted is in strikethrough and text added is bold
red):
6 - 1 - 2

K. Landscaping: Landscaping Trees, shrubs, and other plant materials shall be
located in the front portion of the site should be used to create privacy and to soften
the visual transition from roadways and parking areas to the building façades.
III. DISCUSSION ITEMS
HOW DOES ALLOWING UNLIMITED GRFA IN THE VAIL VILLAGE TOWNHOUSE
DISTRICT ACHIEVE THE ADOPTED POLICY OBJECTIVES?
Allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA) has been a primary point of
deliberation and debate associated with the proposed new Vail Village Townhouse
District. Proponents of redevelopment have argued that the new zone district should
allow more GRFA than the current High Density Multiple-Family District zoning to
achieve the adopted policy object of encouraging redevelopment. Meanwhile,
advocates for preservation have argued that the proposed new zone district should
allow no more GRFA than is currently allowed under High Density Multiple-Family
District zoning to achieve the adopted policy object of maintaining the residential
character of the neighborhood.
As discussed in past Town Council hearings, quantifying how much GRFA is
currently allowed under High Density Multiple-Family District zoning is also a subject
of debate. The Town’s adopted zoning regulations include numerous GRFA
deductions which do not result in a simple floor-area-ratio calculation for residential
buildings. Additionally, the Town’s adopted zoning regulations also includes the 250
Ordinance GRFA bonus which grants additional GRFA to some, not all, existing
dwelling units regardless of existing non-conformities. The Town’s adopted zoning
regulations also include the Interior Conversion GRFA bonus with grants unlimited
additional GRFA to some, not all, dwelling units to capture existing building volume
such as crawlspaces and attics for additional floor area, again regardless on existing
non-conformities. Any consolidation of these policies to establish an “existing
allowed GRFA ratio” involves a variety of approximations and assumptions. The
various combinations of approximations and assumptions used to quantify the
existing allowable GRFA limits yield various results. Allowing an unlimited amount of
GRFA in the proposed Vail Village Townhouse District will eliminate the need, and
debate over how, to quantify the various GRFA policies into a single ratio for the new
district.
Allowing an unlimited amount of GRFA in the proposed Vail Village Townhouse
District will streamline the development review process in that applicants will no
longer need to demonstrate, and Staff will no longer need to verify, compliance with
a floor area limit in this zone district. However, concerns have been expressed that
allowing unlimited GRFA in only one zone district, without a comprehensive review
of all the Town’s adopted GRFA policies, creates a unique condition in one specific
area of town that further confuses and complicates the Town’s development review
process.
6 - 1 - 3
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 4
Allowing an unlimited amount of GRFA in the proposed new zone district does not
streamline the development review process by eliminating an applicant’s
requirement to provide GRFA calculations for the Town’s review with every
proposed addition and new construction development application. The Town’s
adopted parking regulations utilize GRFA to quantify the parking requirements for
residential dwellings outside the designated commercial core parking areas. Today,
the Vail Townhouse Condominiums and the Vail Row Houses are within the core
area designation and are required 1.4 parking spaces per dwelling unit. However,
Vail Trails Chalets, Vail Trails East, and the Texas Townhomes are outside the core
area designation and their required parking is based upon how much GRFA is
constructed (<500 sq.ft. = 1.5 parking spaces, 500 to <2,000 sq.ft. = 2 parking
spaces, 2,000 and greater = 2.5 parking spaces).
Today properties located within the High Density Multiple-Family District are subject
to the employee housing mitigation requirements of the Town’s adopted Inclusionary
Zoning regulations. The Vail Village Townhouse District is proposed to be subject to
these same requirements. The employee housing mitigation requirements of the
Town’s adopted Inclusionary Zoning regulations are based upon GRFA. Every
residential addition and new construction project under the current and proposed
zone districts must mitigate the direct and secondary employee housing impacts on
the community by mitigating 10% of the total new GRFA associated with that project.
GRFA calculations will be required to quantify this mitigation requirement.
Allowing an unlimited amount of GRFA in the proposed Vail Village Townhouse
District will achieve the adopted policy objective of creating an incentive for
redevelopment. However, the other development standards of the proposed district
(height, setbacks, site coverage, landscape area, etc.) and the proposed design
guidelines associated with the new district will be more heavily relied upon to
achieve the adopted policy objective of maintaining the existing residential character
of the neighborhood.
HOW DOES LOWERING THE PROPOSED BUILDING HEIGHT LIMIT FROM 43 FEET
TO 38 FEET ACHIEVE THE ADOPTED POLICY OBJECTIVES?
Amending the allowable building height limits from one height to another height has
no impact on streamlining the development review process.
The building height limit in the High Density Multiple-Family District is 48 feet;
however, none of the existing properties anticipated to be rezoned to the new Vail
Village Townhouse District are currently built to that height. The tallest existing
dwelling unit anticipated to be rezoned to the new district is Vail Row House #7,
which is approximately 38.5 feet in height based upon the interpolated natural grade
of the site. Therefore, only one existing property may be rendered legally non-
conforming by this amended height limit regulation.
On first reading of the proposed new Vail Village Townhouse District, the building
height limit was approved to be 43 feet to match the maximum building height limit of
6 - 1 - 4
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 5
the adjacent Commercial Core 1 District zoned properties in Vail Village. A height
limit of 43 feet or 38 feet still allows most of the subject properties the ability to
expand upward from their current built conditions which accomplishes the adopted
policy objective of creating incentives for redevelopment. However, this incentive is
less than the incentive provided by the current zoning.
Lowering the allowable building height in the new zone district from 43 feet to 38 feet
to more closely match the maximum height of the existing built conditions better
achieves the adopted policy objective of preserving the existing residential character
of the neighborhood.
HOW IS LANDSCAPING IN FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE BUILDINGS
ADDRESSED BY THE PROPOSED NEW ZONE DISTRICT?
The High Density Multiple-Family District requires a minimum of 30% of a site to be
landscape area. On first reading, the proposed Vail Village Townhouse District was
approved with a landscape area requirement of 20% to address the various existing
non-conforming properties. Based upon the Vail Town Council’s August 7, 2012,
deliberations, the attached ordinance has been amended to require 30% landscape
area as required by the current zoning.
This amendment will have a negative effect on the adopted policy objective of
streamlining the development review process since more properties will be non-
conforming related to landscape area with a 30% requirement than a 20%
requirement. Additionally, a 30% landscape area requirement is less of an incentive
for redevelopment than a 20% requirement. However, the amended 30% landscape
area requirement will better achieve the adopted policy objective of preserving the
existing residential character of the neighborhood.
The proposed amendments to the Vail Village Master Plan reviewed at the Council’s
previous hearings included a design guideline for landscaping to create privacy and
to soften the transition from parking areas and streets to the building façade. As
defined by the adopted Vail Town Code, hardscape areas such as patios, sidewalks,
etc. are defined as landscape area. Based upon the Town Council’s August 7th
deliberations, Staff recommends modification to the proposed guideline that more
clearly identify the need for landscape plantings, not only hardscape, at the front of
townhouse buildings. Under both the current and proposed zoning, townhouse
properties are subject to the adopted, general landscaping design guidelines of Title
14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code.
WHY IS STAFF PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE PURPOPSE SECTION OF
THE NEW ZONE DISTRICT?
Throughout the review of the proposed Vail Village Townhouse District all
discussions and deliberations have been grounded in the understanding that the
proposed district is intended to address specific existing townhouse properties in
Vail Village: Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalet,
6 - 1 - 5
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 6
Vail Trails East and Texas Townhomes. The proposed new district is not intended
to be applied to other existing or proposed townhouse properties located within or
outside of Vail Village. The proposed amendments to the Vail Village Master Plan
recommend the proposed new zone district and associated design guidelines be
applied to the discussed specific properties which are located within the East Gore
Creek sub-area of the Vail Village Master Plan. Staff recommends amending the
purpose statement of the Vail Village Townhouse District to further clarify which
specific properties this district is intended to be applied.
IV. BACKGROUND
On November 14, 2011, the Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a
recommendation of approval, with modifications, to the Vail Town Council for the
proposed Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, and , Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, by a
vote of 4-1-1 (Rediker opposed and Pratt recused).
On February 21, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a work session to discuss the
proposed ordinance and resolution establishing the Vail Village Townhouse District and
the associated Vail Village Master Plan amendments. At that hearing the Council asked
questions concerning the heights of nearby buildings, how the existing GRFA
development potential was calculated, and how changes to the GRFA ratios could affect
the massing of the subject townhouse buildings.
On April 3, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a public hearing to discuss the proposed
ordinance and resolution. The Vail Town Council tabled these items to its May 1, 2012,
hearing to provide the former applicants, Mauriello Planning Group and KH Webb
Architects, an opportunity to construct additional visual models illustrating the various
considered GRFA ratios (1.25, 1.35, 1.50, etc.)
On May 1, 2012, the Vail Town Council approved the first reading of Ordinance No. 2,
Series of 2012, by a vote of 6-0-1 (Foley opposed), with the modification that Section
12-6J-9 allows not more than one hundred twenty five square feet of GRFA for each
one hundred square feet of total site area (i.e. 1.25 GRFA ratio).
On May 15, 2012, the Vail Town Council held another public hearing on the proposed
new zone district. The Council tabled the application for further deliberation.
On July 17, 2012, the Vail Town Council held a work session to discuss the proposed
new zone district. A majority of the Vail Town Council re-affirmed:
• the problems associated with existing townhouse properties being zoned High
Density Multiple-Family District
• a new zone district should be established to address the problems associated
with the current zoning of townhouse properties
• one policy objective of the new district is to streamline the development review
process
6 - 1 - 6
8/21/2012
Town of Vail Page 7
• one policy objective of the new district is to create incentives for redevelopment
of existing townhouse properties
• another policy objective of the new district is to preserve the existing residential
character of the townhouse properties and the neighborhood
The Council’s work session included a general discussion about the Town’s adopted
gross residential floor area (GRFA) regulations and a discussion about the appropriate
GRFA limits in the proposed new zone district including the options of a GRFA ratio of
1.25, a ratio of 1.50, and eliminating GRFA in this new district.
On August 7, 2012, the Vail Town Council tabled the proposed ordinance and
resolution, and directed Staff to prepare amendments to the proposed new zone district
to allow an unlimited amount of GRFA, a lower building height limit of 38 feet, maintain
the current 30% landscape area requirements, and to add additional front yard
landscaping guidelines in the new zone district.

Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO THAT:
SECTION 1. Chapter VII, Vail Village Sub-Areas, East Gore Creek Sub-Area
(#6), Vail Village Master Plan, is hereby amended in part as follows (text to be
deleted is in strikethrough, text that is to be added is bold, and sections of text
that are not amended have been omitted):
EAST GORE CREEK SUB AREA (#6)
A number of the earliest projects developed in Vail are located in the East
Gore Creek Sub-Area. Development in this area is exclusively multi-family
condominium and townhouse projects with a very limited amount of
support commercial. Surface parking is found at each site, which creates a
very dominant visual impression of the sub-area.
While the level of development in East Gore Creek is generally greater
than that allowed under existing zoning, this area has the potential to
absorb density without compromising the character of the Village. These
This developments could be accommodated by partial infills of existing
parking areas balanced by greenspace additions or through increasing the
height of existing buildings (generally one story over existing heights). In
order to maintain the architectural continuity of projects, additional density
should be considered only in conjunction with the comprehensive
redevelopment of projects or individual units. There are several
townhouse properties within this sub-area which were platted and/or
constructed under Eagle County jurisdiction. These townhouse
properties are nonconforming with the many of development
standards (including, but not limited to density, gross residential
floor area, setbacks, site coverage, landscape area) of the High
Density Multiple Family (HDMF) District. It is recommended that
greater flexibility with the development standards may be necessary
to allow these townhouse projects to redevelop. This flexibility may
be achieved through the rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse
(VVT) District. However, the granting of variances from the HDMF
District or rezoning to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District
should consider potential impacts to the character of the
neighborhood.
Clearly, one of the main objectives to consider in the redevelopment of
any property should be to improve existing parking facilities. This includes
satisfying parking demands for existing and additional development as
well as design considerations relative to redevelopment proposals. The
opportunity to introduce below grade structured parking will greatly
improve pedestrianization and landscape features in this area. This should
be considered a goal of any redevelopment proposal in this sub-area.
6 - 3 - 2
8/21/2012

Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
Development or redevelopment of this sub-area may will attract additional
traffic and population into this area and may have significant impacts upon
portions of Sub-Areas 7 and 10.
There are several existing townhouse properties in the East Gore
Creek Sub-Area, including the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail
Row Houses, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail Trails East, and Texas
Townhomes. These design considerations provide
recommendations for the redevelopment of these properties. The
purpose of these design considerations is to preserve the unique
character of the existing townhouse properties in Vail Village.
Redevelopment should be consistent with the existing pedestrian-
oriented, urban character of Vail Village. All demo/rebuild and new
construction projects in the Vail Village Townhouse District shall
comply with these guidelines. It is understood that renovations to
existing buildings may be unable to fully comply with some of these
design considerations. Redevelopment to existing buildings will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with determination of compliance
based upon whether the renovation to an existing building meets the
general intent of these design considerations.
A. Zoning: The existing townhouse properties in the East Gore Creek
Sub-Area including the Vail Townhouse Condominiums, Vail Row
Houses, Vail Trails Chalet, Vail Trails East, and Texas Townhomes
should be rezoned from the High Density Multiple-Family (HDMF)
District to the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District.
B. Development Pattern: Townhouse properties in the East Gore
Creek Sub-Area should exhibit the appearance and characteristics of
a residential row style development. Buildings should face the street
and appear to be a series of proportionally sized, individual dwelling
units occupying the space from the ground to the roof that are
attached inline by shared side walls. Buildings should exhibit these
characteristics regardless of ownership patterns or the horizontal
and vertical subdivision of properties, and should create a perceived
dwelling unit occupying the space within a building from the ground
to the roof.
C. Architectural Theme: The existing architectural and aesthetic
character of the townhouse properties in Vail Village shall be
preserved.
1. Units: The architectural theme of each dwelling unit or
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space within a building
6 - 3 - 3
8/21/2012
4
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
from the ground to the roof) shall be expressed on all sides of
that unit to create an architecturally integrated unit.
2. Buildings: Townhouse buildings shall express an
architectural theme of either uniformity or individuality. To
portray architectural and aesthetic integrity, a combination of
both themes within a single building is discouraged.
a. Uniformity: Townhouse buildings may express a
singular, unified architectural theme in which every
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space from
ground to the roof) in a building is composed of
substantially the same exterior design, materials,
textures, and colors.
b. Individuality: Townhouse buildings may express an
individualistic architectural theme in which each
perceived dwelling unit (occupying the space from
ground to the roof) in a building varies in exterior
design, materials, textures, and colors; so that abutting
units do not have the same architectural treatment. This
expression of individuality among units must be
balanced with the character of the adjacent units and
the building as a whole.
D. Building Form and Massing: Buildings shall step back from the
front property line to create the appearance of a two-story façade
along the street. For the purposes of these design considerations, a
story is considered the space between the surface of any floor and
the next floor or ceiling above, not exceeding 11 feet in height.
The front façade of the first floor or street level and the second floor
shall be located within 20 to 28 feet of the front property line. The
front façade of the third floor and any floors above shall step back 6
to 10 feet from the façade of the second floor below.
E. Street Edge: Front façade shall be generally parallel to the street
and form a strong, but irregular edge to the street. Front façades
shall generally align with adjacent units and buildings to create a
sense of street enclosure and continuity, but shall have enough
offset between units and buildings to create visual interest.
F. Façade: To reduce the appearance of building height and mass,
and to create a residential scale and character, all façades shall
incorporate vertical and horizontal articulation to reduce the
appearance of building height and mass and to foster the
6 - 3 - 4
8/21/2012
5
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
appearance of a residential neighborhood. Façades should
incorporate doors, decks, porches, balconies, fenestration, recesses,
bay windows, ornamentation, and other traditional residential
architectural elements. No façade shall appear to be a large
unbroken plane. To preserve the existing pedestrian scale and
residential character of the neighborhood, dwelling unit entries are
encouraged on the front of the building; however, garage entries are
strongly discouraged on the front façade.
G. Cantilevers: On the front façade, floor area cantilevered more than
three feet beyond the level below is strongly discouraged.
Cantilevered floor areas shall not be stacked or cantilevered atop
one another.
H. Roof Pitch: The primary roof form should be sloping with pitches
from 3:12 to 4:12. Secondary roofs should be sloping with pitches
from 6:12 to 9:12. Flat roofs may have limited use as secondary
roofs for decks and mechanical equipment areas. Mansard roofs
create the perception of additional bulk and mass and are
inconsistent with the architectural character of the existing
townhouse properties and the existing neighborhood. Therefore,
mansard roofs are discouraged.
I. Roof Ridge: The primary roof ridges shall be parallel with the front
façade of the building and should be oriented to not shed snow or
rain onto adjacent properties. To create visual interest and to reduce
the perception of building bulk and mass, roofs shall not create the
appearance of continuous ridges between units or buildings. Roof
ridges should be articulated by stepping in elevation and varying
from front to rear. Dormers and other secondary roof forms may
also be used minimize the perception of a continuous ridge.
J. Fences and Site Walls: Privacy fences and walls along the street
are discouraged, except to screen trash areas, utility equipment, and
other similar items.
K. Landscaping: Trees, shrubs, and other plant materials shall be
located in the front portion of the site to create privacy and to soften
the visual transition from roadways and parking areas to the building
façades.
L. Deck Rails: Deck rails shall be designed to minimize the
perception of additional building bulk and mass. Deck rails should
incorporate transparency, material changes, and stepping in
alignment from other building elements. Solid railings that appear to
extend the exterior wall material from below are discouraged.
6 - 3 - 5
8/21/2012

Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
M. Parking: Off-street parking should be located on at-grade surface
driveways or in below grade shared parking structures. Off-street
parking should not be accommodated with individual or shared
garages, carports, or parking structures on the first floor or street
level.
#6-1 Residential Infill Texas Townhomes/Vail Trails
Additional floor or residential development over what is existing. Additional
density to be considered only in conjunction with a comprehensive
redevelopment of each project. To encourage redevelopment and to
maintain the existing character of the neighborhood, the Vail Village
Townhouse (VVT) District was established to grant additional gross
residential floor area over what was allowed under High Density
Multiple Family (HDMF) District zoning. A key factor in the
redevelopment of these properties will be to relocate required parking in
underground structures or a single unified structure serving all
adjacent properties. This will allow for increased landscaping and overall
improvements to pedestrian ways to create a park-like setting on the
surface in this area. Redevelopment shall maintain the existing
character of the neighborhood, with the appearance of two to three
story buildings along the street elevation. In all cases, the mature
pines along Gore Creek shall be maintained. Stream impact must be
considered. Special emphasis on 1.2, 2.3, 2.6, 3.1, 5.1, 6.2.
#6-2 Manor Vail
Possible residential infill on portions of existing surface parking area and
additional floor to the two northern most buildings adjacent to Gore Creek.
Infill project must include addition of greenspace adjacent to East Mill
Creek and other adjoining pedestrian areas. Height of structure shall be
limited to prevent impacts on view to the Gore Range from Village core
and Vail Valley Drive. Present and future parking demand to be met on
site. Traffic considerations must be addressed. Special emphasis on 1.2,
2.3, 2.6, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1
#6-3 Vail Row Houses
To encourage redevelopment, the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT)
District was established to grant additional gross residential floor
area over what was allowed under High Density Multiple Family
(HDMF) District zoning. Where possible, driveway widths shall be
minimized and areas for landscaping increased. Surface parking
shall be improved when redevelopment occurs using high quality
landscape paver treatments and the current post and chain parking
delineation shall be replaced with other methods to identify private
parking. Redevelopment shall maintain the existing character of the
6 - 3 - 6
8/21/2012
7
Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012
neighborhood, with the appearance of two to three story buildings
along the street elevation. Improvements to the Gore Creek stream
corridor, consistent with Town policies, shall be considered with
redevelopment applications. Special emphasis on 1.2, 2.3, 2.6, 3.1,
5.1, 6.2.
INTRODUCED, PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the
Town Council of the Town of Vail held this 21st day of August, 2012.

• TOV Staff Present:
Town Manager Stan Zemler; Finance Director Judy Camp; Economic Development Manager Kelli
McDonald; Executive Assistant Tammy Nagel
• Vail Mountain Summer Activities:
Chris Jarnot, Vail Resorts, presented to the members a PowerPoint introducing new summer
activities coming to the mountain. Last year legislation was passed allowing more summer
activities on the mountain. Jarnot stated Vail Mountain will lead the industry and set the
standards. The new summer activities will promote environmental education and forest
stewardship, mix eco discovery zones with fun activities, make the National Forest accessible to
everyone and give kids and families a unique way to experience the mountains. Vail Resorts will
use existing infrastructure and developed parts of the mountain and all activities will blend
seamlessly with the natural environment. Appropriate mountain activities include Zip Lines,
Forest Flyers, Rope Courses and Adventure Tours. Vail Resorts will donate 1% of summer
activity revenue to The Nature Conservancy for forest restoration; Jarnot estimated the new
attractions will generate $21 million in summer revenue. The new mountain activities will benefit
the community by creating new jobs for construction and operations, support a healthier year-
round employment and visitation and attract I-70 summer travelers to experience Vail for a day.
Jarnot stated the Lionshead Gondola currently has 100,000 summer riders and predicts 350,000
visits over 100 days of summer. Adventure Ridge will be the “hub” of the activities. More hiking
and mountain biking will be available and more accessible. Zip line construction will start this fall
and opening spring 2013 all activities operating by 2015.
Jim Lamont asked if there will be opportunity for community input and Kristin Williams stated
there are two separate times in the process the community will have an opportunity to have input.
Lamont also inquired if there has been any talk with the Town concerning possible issues such as
parking? Jarnot responded by saying the town already has had 3500 on peak summer days, but
there has been informal conversations.
Jarnot also provided a construction update on the new gondola by saying the process is going
great. Terminal pads have been built and storage buildings will start to be constructed. Towers
will be going up early October, terminals will also be in October and 111 cabins will be shipped
from France this month.
• Elevate Vail 2012:
Connie Woodberry, spoke to the members about the 2nd Annual Creating and Sustaining Special
Places Global Symposium that is being held in Vail on September 25 – 27, 2012. This highly
interactive symposium presents a mix of speakers whose accomplishments are testimony to the
value of their insights into the complexity of special places. The Elevate Vail 2012 will discuss
sustainable development and sustainable tourism in special places. Woodberry said Elevate/Vail
2012 will employ a holistic approach to creating and sustaining special places and will include
The Five Pillars (Cultural Connection to Country, Economic Sustainability, Built Environment,
7 - 1 - 1
8/21/2012
Natural Environment and Governance, Leadership and Engagement) as the starting point.
Woodberry invited all members to attend.
• Vail Group Sales Update:
Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership, presented Group Sales Update to the members. Romer
reviewed the group sales objectives with members, which are to drive up group sales leads from
key markets and industry segments, develop focused direct sales and marketing effort to attract
targeted group and meeting business to Vail with increased focus on sports and events, medical
meetings and traditional corporate/association business and to work closely with VLMD vendors
to increase partnership opportunities. Romer stated the strategies are to focus on smaller, more
targeted trade shows, events and educational programs, but still maintain a presence in the
incentive and high end Corporate markets. To effectively sell Vail as a meeting destination to
qualified meeting planners while focusing on one-on-one meeting planner events. As of year to
date, the medical groups make up 28% in group sales, corporate groups are 27% with sports and
events being the lowest of the group sales at 14%. Romer said the field, venue and calendar
limitations in Vail make it difficult to increase group sales of participatory sports and events. Vail
Valley Partnership increased group sales focus on medical meetings and Continuing Medical
Education programs in early 2011 with positive results. Group sales trends are showing the
length of group stay is decreasing, creating mid-week opportunities, the average booking lead
time continues to decrease and Associations report higher meeting attendance for Vail meetings
compared to Denver or western slope locations.
• Business Retention Visits:
Boselli reported he visited with corporate stores on Bridge Street who reported overall business is
good and this last winter they did better than they thought with the lack of snow. The businesses
would like to see more events in Vail Village be on Bridge Street. The corporate stores also
stated they were doing more commercial giveaways to attract business.
Nolan visited with merchants in Lionshead who requested more events in the Lionshead area.
The merchants reported an increase in family visitors looking for deals.
Mullen spoke with West Vail merchants who said family business is up but the stores are
basically flat. The businesses reported troubles in hiring staff. Mullen also stated there were a
few empty store fronts and some businesses are under renovation with plans of reopening in time
for football. Service businesses are down to lack of construction work in the Valley. Mullen also
commented parking on the north frontage road helps West Vail retail by taking the pressure
from skier parking off their parking lots and also brings in people who park on the road.
Wibel spoke with a few owners of businesses in the Vail Village who like the events but would like
to see more events in the fall and mid-January. The business owners also thought the parking
structures are too dark and dirty.
Kundolf met with Meadow Drive merchants who stated financially they are up. The merchants
complained they were not notified in a timely manner concerning the construction on Meadow
Drive, but did appreciate Town Manager, Stan Zemler, visiting with each of them and listening to
their concerns. The merchants felt they were heard. Merchants also would like to see more way
finding signage to assist guests in getting to their destinations.
McDonald reported on Levine’s visit with the lodging community. Condominium properties are up
between 5-10% and also reported their International guest numbers are also higher.
• Financial Reports:
The financial reports were provided in the committees’ packets.
• Town Manager Report:
Zemler informed the members that parking will be discussed at the next Council meeting on
August 21, 2012.
• Citizen Input:
None.
