miscellaneous fire code issues. In response to these comments, fire department
staff has provided the attached memo and current matrix as an overview of the

20 minutes
1. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on prescribed regulation amendments
to Title 11, Sign Regulations, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 11-3-3, Prescribed
Regulations Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to the construction sign
regulations, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120031)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Recommendation of Approval with Modifications
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Bird VOTE: 6-0-0
CONDITIONS:
1. The applicant shall modify Section 11-7-6a-1 to allow a maximum sign area of 8 square
feet in all residential zone districts. Construction signs in all other zone districts will
continue to be allowed a maximum sign area of 20 square feet.
Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum.
Commissioner Kurz asked about construction sites being required to mitigate large construction
fences. Otherwise he had no concerns about this application.
Bill Gibson stated that Staff would look into potential regulations amendments.
Commissioner Bird asked about projects that currently advertise multiple sub-contractors.
Bill Gibson responded that these signs are illegal and are addressed by the Town’s Code
Enforcement. He added that allowing website information on construction signs would help
direct people to information about the various subcontractors involved in the project.
Commissioner Bird supported allowing website information on construction signs.
Commissioner Pratt stated that the examples provided show two ends of the spectrum and he is
concerned about scale. He said the former billion dollar renewal signs may be appropriate for
big construction projects. But for small projects, advertisements through realtor information and
renderings are not appropriate. He does not support a realtor being the emergency contact
name on the sign.

Commissioner Hopkins did not have any comment.
Commissioner Rediker asked the original purpose for the signs and how to address the
distinction between site information and advertising. He also noted concerns about balancing
ease of implementation with one set of regulations with different regulations for different sized
construction projects.
Commissioner Kurz asked if a condition should be placed to restrict advertising.
Commissioner Hopkins stated that there are a number of construction signs currently in East
Vail. She believes the renderings help the neighborhood understand what the project will look
like.
Commissioner Kurz stated the signs could help people get excited about the project.
Commissioner Pratt stated that instead of a rendering, perhaps the business logos of extra
project partners could be on the sign.
Commissioner Pierce stated it should include realtors, architects and contractor. He added the
sign only needs to be 8 square feet in size instead of 20 square feet.
Commissioner Hopkins stated the signs should only be 6 square feet like other signs.
Commissioner Bird added she likes having a rendering allowed on the signs.
Commissioner Pierce recommended reducing the allowable size of construction signs.
Commissioner Hopkins stated 8 square feet would be good in residential zone districts and 20
square feet could remain in commercial zone districts.
Commissioner Kurz agreed with Commissioner Hopkins.
45 minutes
2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed regulations
amendment, pursuant to 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to Title
12, Zoning Regulations, to amend the development review process, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC120010)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Rachel Dimond
ACTION: Tabled to October 8, 2012
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Rediker VOTE: 6-0-0
Rachel Dimond made a presentation per the Staff memorandum.
Commissioner Kurz noted concern about construction projects that affect roofs that change
building height changes, snow shedding, etc.
Commissioner Rediker asked for clarification about how off-site impacts are determined. He
noted support for reducing fees and creating savings for developers and property owners.
However, he is concerned about reducing fees below the costs of administering the regulations.
Commissioner Rediker recommended clarifying the intent of the proposed text related to its
applicability to avoid future confusion and legal challenges. He asked if important elements of
1 - 2 - 2
10/2/2012
Page 3
the existing regulations are being lost with the proposed amendments, such as application
requirements and approval expirations.
Rachel Dimond described what items would be deleted and how those items would be
addressed differently.
Commissioners Bird, Pratt, and Hopkins had no additional comment.
Commissioner Pierce agreed with Commissioner Rediker’s comments.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked for clarification about what projects will have
public notice requirements. He does not support any reduction in public notification
requirements.
Commissioner Rediker asked for further clarification about public notice for projects that affect
roof lines.
Rachel Dimond noted that currently, newsletters are available with Design Review Board
agendas. The Town’s goal is to make the GIS system be available online to identify proposed
projects.
Commissioner Bird suggested that property owners could sign up online to receive notice of any
project within a certain neighborhood.
Commissioner Rediker asked for clarification about which project would no longer require public
notice under the proposed regulations.
Rachel Dimond provided examples, including projects in CC1 and CC2 Districts that modify
rooflines and add GRFA but do not add new units.
Commissioner Hopkins clarified that the notification mostly applies to commercial areas does not
affect residential districts.
Commissioner Rediker recommended defining the term “substantial off-site impacts”.
Commissioner Pierce asked about notification of changes in use in the core areas.
Rachel Dimond further described existing and proposed notification requirements.
Commissioner Pierce asked about notification associated with Staff reviewed items.
Rachel Dimond identified concerns about lengthening the development review times associated
with additional notice.
Commissioner Rediker asked for clarification about current review and notice timeframes.
Rachel Dimond described the current notification and review process.
Commissioner Rediker described the balance between streamlining and notification.
Jim Lamont stated he believes notification should be immediately sent to concerned parties and
lists of interested parties should be gathered. He believes as a global community it is important
to let everyone know about applications. He believes there is enough political pressure today to
1 - 2 - 3
10/2/2012
Page 4
change covenants to require more public notice. Anything that could affect property values in
any way should be noticed. He gave examples of tree removal. He noted that many items that
come before DRB should have had neighbor notice in advance.
Commissioner Bird noted concern about utilizing the US Postal Service for notice since some
letters take many days to be delivered. She recommended expediting a computerized
notification process. She agreed with Jim Lamont’s comments that there is a need for more
public notice.
Commissioner Pierce recommended shortening the process, but asked if notification could be
sent out earlier in the review process.
Rachel Dimond suggested creating an email list.
Commissioner Pratt recommended sending out notice immediately upon application even if the
submittal is not complete.
Rachel Dimond noted that Staff will come back with various options to address the Commission’s
concerns.
Commissioner Rediker summarized his concerns about applicability language, fees, application
expirations, and notification to neighbors.
Commissioner Kurz noted concern about increasing the time frame for review and that sending
notification prematurely could misinform neighbors. The notice should be sent once there is a
concrete application.
Jim Lamont noted that notification should address the project scale such as Ever Vail.
Neighbors become upset once deals or agreements have been made before a project is formally
submitted. People expect their government to be transparent. He noted the 18th green project
as an example of how notification wasn’t effective. People need to be informed about anything
that may affect their property values.
Commissioner Pratt recommended looking toward other communities for examples of more
notice.
Commissioner Hopkins noted that wise developers contact their neighbors prior to submitting
formal development applications to the town.
Commissioner Pierce noted that projects like Ever Vail don’t sneak-up on anyone, but smaller
projects could.
Commissioner Pierce addressed Commissioner Kurz’s comments. He agreed that shortening
the review process is the goal and sending the notice immediately is the only way to condense
the times.
Commissioner Rediker agreed with Commissioner Pierce’s comments. He noted concerns that
the onus should be on the applicants and not on the Town Staff to speed up the process.
Commissioners Rediker and Hopkins identified challenges with out-of-country owners.
1 - 2 - 4
10/2/2012

Commissioner Kurz agreed everyone should be notified, but they shouldn’t be notified with
vague information. Misinformation doesn’t shorten anything and notices should be vetted before
being sent.
3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations amendments to Title 12, Zoning
Regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, to require restoration of
watercourses and riparian areas, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120011)

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: October 2, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Fire Code issues/Fire Sprinkler discussion.
PRESENTER(S): Mark Miller, Mike Vaughan
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review materials presented and provide direction
relative to moving forward in adopting the 2012 International Fire Code (IFC) as part of the
overall adoption of the 2012 International Codes by the TOV.
BACKGROUND: At the September 4th work session, Council discussed a variety of issues
and comments regarding residential sprinkler requirements and miscellaneous fire code
issues. In response to these comments, fire department staff has provided the attached memo
and current matrix as an overview of the process currently used to determine when a sprinkler
system is required, and specific circumstances that allow exemptions.
Additionally, the attached information provides statistics regarding the total number of single
family homes or duplexes (new and renovated) - that required sprinklers in the past two years
and how many were exempted, or allowed discretion based on undue hardship. It is our
objective that the attached information will provide factual data as to the overall process and
methodology used. Additioanlly we hope adress any outstanding concerns Council may have
regarding this process or fire code issues in general.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that Council review the attached memo
and matrix for sprinkler requirements. Staff recommends that Council approve the continued
use of the current matrix along with adopting the 2012 IFC , as part of the 2012 International
code adoption.

Memorandum
To: TOV Council
From: Mark Miller, Fire Chief
Date: 10/2/12
Subject: Fire sprinkler discussion/matrix
Regarding fire sprinkler issues/concerns, the following information gives a broad overview of
the past 2 ½ years in regards to the total numbers of single family homes and/or duplex’s that
have been required to install fire sprinklers; and those that were exempted and/or given
consideration based on undue hardship.
• Total single family /Duplex permits issued since January 2010 359
• Total new construction – SF or Duplex 28
o Sprinklers required 11
• Demo/Rebuild 4
• Remodel - with additional square feet 5
• Remodel - existing system 4
• Standpipe system (no sprinkler system required - undue hardship) 2
As indicated by the above numbers, less than half of the new homes built since January
2010 have been required to have fire sprinklers based on the attached matrix. As you will
note on page 1 of the matrix, a number of exemptions are allowed, addressing minor
remodels/additions. As outlined on page 2 of the matrix, it is important to note that it is
based solely on specific IFC code references (or Vail Town Code) and is not onerous to
the fire department.
Note: The matrix has been in place since October 2009 and was approved by the Board
of Appeals (7 members appointed by Council). Since inception of the Board of Appeals,
there have been no challenges to requiring sprinklers in applicable situations and it is our
firm belief that the matrix allows for reasonable flexibility for owners/contractors, while still
adhering to essential life/safety principals. If we were to implement a “hard/set” guideline
for sprinkler requirements, it would not allow the current options for owners/contactors,
and create unreasonable financial hardship and complications.

Date: October 2, 2012
Subject: Proposed adoption of the 2012 International Building Codes, Ordinance No. 12,
Series of 2012
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to propose to the Vail Town Council the adoption of
the 2012 International Building Codes as amended by the Town of Vail Building and
Fire Appeals Board.
In order to continue to be a premier resort community there is a need to maintain a
current set of building codes that safeguard the public health and safety. The
comprehensive set of codes proposed will establish minimum regulations for the design
and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance.
II. BACKGROUND
The building codes are updated every three years after an extensive code development
processing in which all interested and affected parties may participate. This allows for
the codes to stay current with laws and technology that affect the construction industry.
Areas most notably changed in this code cycle is within the International Energy
Conservation Code which provides an additional 15% overall efficiency in buildings.
The Building and Fire Appeals Board has held public hearings monthly over the last
nine months reviewing the changes from the previously adopted building codes and
amendments to the 2012 Building codes for the purpose of recommending the adoption
of the 2012 Building Codes by the Vail Town Council. The Board has eliminated many
of the amendments in the towns current building code that are know found within the
body of the building code or out of date with current technology. The Board has also
added provisions that address construction practices that are unique to our community.
Public input has been a key factor in these changes.
On September 24, 2012 the Building Fire and Appeals Board unanimously approved
Ordinance No. 12, Series of 2012, for consideration by the Vail Town Council. The

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
September 27, 2012
Sales Tax
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, August collections are estimated to be
$1,363,785 up 4.1% from August 2011 and up 17.6% compared to the amended
budget. Year to date of $14,582,556 is up $493,781 or 3.5% from last year at this
time and up 3.5% from budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price
index was up 1.7 % for August. The annual budget for sales tax totals
$18,900,000.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections through September 27th total $3,518,190 up 17.0% from this
time last year, and nearing the annual budget of $3.8 million. Of current
collections, approximately 23.3% is from major redevelopment projects including
Arrabelle, Landmark, Lions Square Lodge North, Manor Vail, Mountain View,
One Willow Bridge, Ritz Carlton Residences, Solaris, and The Sebastian.
Collections not related to major redevelopment projects currently total
$2,698,682 up 72.4% from prior year.
Revenue from Construction Activity:
Use tax collections currently total $1,119,514 exceeding the amended annual
budget of $1.0 million. The increase in activity is due to both significant home
renovations as well as a few larger commercial renovation projects.
Construction Permit revenue totals $607,390 compared to the amended annual
budget of $625,000, and exceeding entire collections for 2011 of $526,043.
Plan Check Fees currently total $376,283, exceeding the amended annual
budget of $350,000 and exceeding entire collections for 2011 of $324,981.
Summary
Across all funds and revenue accounts through September 27, 2012, total
revenue of $36.6 million is up 6.7% year-to-date from the budget and down 3.1%
($1.2 million) from this time last year. The decrease from last year is due to
reductions in parking revenue ($550,000), property tax collections ($800,000) as
anticipated in the budget for 2012, and the streetscape lawsuit settlement
($577,000) in 2011. We have currently received 66% of total budgeted revenues
for the year.

Pam Brandmeyer
Judy Camp
From: Sally Lorton
Re: August Sales Tax
I estimate Vail will collect another $75,000 in August sales tax to bring
August collections to $1,363,785. If so, we will be up 17.6% or $204,216 from the
amended budget and up 4.1% or $53,314 from August 2011. Year to date would
be up 3.5% or $487,581 from 2011. The year to date and full year budgets have
been amended by $1,100,000.00 to reflect additional collections earlier in the
year. Year to date revenue would be up 12.3% or $1,593,781 from the original
budget and 3.5% or $493,781 from the amended budget.

Subject: Matterhorn Bridge Update
I. Schedule Update
The Matterhorn Bridge Project is currently on schedule to open by the original
completion date of December 15th. The project has had several set backs including
utility conflicts and pile foundation issues, however the most recent discussions have
resulted in a schedule that will open the bridge by December 15th. After December 15th
and in the Spring of 2013 final completion, punch list items, and landscaping will occur,
which will have minimal impact to traffic.
If the December 15th bridge opening does change we will update the Council and the
public.
