ACTION: Approved with condition(s)
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5-2-0 (Pierce and Rediker opposed)
CONDITION(S):
1. This exterior alteration or modification approval is contingent upon the
applicant obtaining Town of Vail approval of the associated design review
application.
2. The applicant shall mitigate the impact on employee housing caused by this
residential development/redevelopment in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code.
Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
The Commissioners discussed whether or not a site visit was necessary. It was determined that
the photographs in the materials and the familiarity of the Commissioner with the building did not
warrant a site visit.
Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the employee housing mitigation requirement for this project.
12/4/2012
Page 2
Bill Gibson explained the Inclusionary Zoning requirements.
Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, gave a PowerPoint presentation detailing the
requests. He highlighted the 250 addition, height variance, and major exterior alteration
requests which would allow for the enclosure of an existing deck on the top floor.
Commissioners Bird and Pratt inquired into the applicant’s sun/shade analysis.
Dominic Mauriello clarified what was being shown on the plans and which document was from
the 1989 project and which document was for the current proposal.
Commissioner Rediker inquired about the zoning analysis on page 9 of the staff memorandum
and how the 250 and Interior Conversion related to the allowable GRFA.
Bill Gibson clarified the relationship of the GRFA policies.
Commissioner Bird stated that additional detail on the architectural drawings would be helpful in
understanding the proposal.
Dominic Mauriello stated that plans with a higher level of detail will be submitted with the
associated design review application; but if necessary he would bring more detailed drawings to
the Commission’s next hearing. He spent some time explaining the design intent of the
proposal.
Commissioner Kurz asked if the proposed addition will match the exterior of the existing building.
Dominic Mauriello confirmed that the proposed addition will match the existing building exterior
materials.
Commissioner Pierce stated that in terms of bulk and mass and consistency with the master
plan, the existing building looks terrible and has for some time. He believes the proposed
addition will not enhance the building and will not benefit the town. He further stated that the
proposed addition does not create the desired roof forms and the proposed deck columns are
not appropriate.
There was no public comment.
Commissioner Pratt agreed with Commissioner Pierce’s concerns that the proposed addition is
not an improvement to the existing building, but he supports allowing the project to move forward
to the design review process.

Bill Gibson gave a presentation on the approved changes and noted that the Design Review
Board has approved the associated design application. He stated that the Town has not
received any comments from the adjacent property owners who were notified of the change.
The Commissioners discussed the need to see before and after images to fully understand the
proposed changes.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked if the change to the restroom location
negatively affected East Betty Ford Way, the road adjacent to the restroom change.
Bill Gibson answered that the restroom change does not change the new alignment of East Betty

site plan that shows the before and after conditions.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
November 28th, 2012
Sales Tax
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, October collections are estimated to be
$618,948 down 0.7% from October 2011 and up 2.4% compared to the amended
budget. Year to date of $16,200,345 is up $592,005 or 3.8% from last year at this
time and up 4.6% from budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price
index was up 2.2 % for October. The annual budget for sales tax currently totals
$18,900,000.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections through November 28th total $4,559,330 up 16.7% from this
time last year, and surpassing the annual budget of $3.8 million. Of current
collections, approximately 23.8% 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
$3,472,451 up 50.2% from prior year.
Revenue from Construction Activity:
Use tax collections currently total $1,193,945 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 $707,467 exceeding the amended annual
budget of $625,000, and exceeding entire collections for 2011 of $526,043.
Plan Check Fees currently total $440,232, 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 November 28th, 2012, total
revenue of $40.9 million is up 4.4% year-to-date from the budget and down 3.4%
($1.5 million) from this time last year. The decrease from last year is due to
reductions in parking revenue ($600,000), 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 72% of total budgeted revenues
for the year.

Others Present:
Jim Lamont; Brian Rodine
TOV Staff Present:
Town Manager Stan Zemler; Economic Development Manager Kelli McDonald; Finance
Director Judy Camp; Executive Assistant Tammy Nagel
Winter Updates:
Chris Jarnot, Vail Resorts, started the meeting off with an update on the new gondola.
Jarnot stated the gondola is traveling approximately 1200 ft. per minute and the ride
takes approximately 7 minutes from the bottom of the lift to the top. On Friday,
November 16, 2012 at 8:30 am there will be a dedication for the new gondola with free
rides and pastries at the top, but there is no skiing down.
Brian Rodine, Vail Resorts, provided a PowerPoint highlighting the resort’s pre-season
situations. Rodine stated though 2012 skier visit volume was off, guest satisfaction
scores were very strong in the face of the severe weather. All VR resorts are currently
showing a “snow lag” in effect due to customers waiting for weather patterns to unfold
before making early-season bookings. The lag is also accentuated by an off-week
between Vail Snow Daze/50th ending Sunday, December 16th and Christmas falling on a
Tuesday.
Rodine briefly reviewed Vail Resorts 2012-2013 marketing objectives such as to
maintain overall brand strength focusing on improving rankings against key attributes; to
continue to grow key segments (destination, international and in-state overnight); to
increase skier visits; to improve guest satisfaction metrics; to hit upsell objectives
focusing on Vail Ski & Snowboard School and F & B; to maintain industry leading digital
presence and to nail Vail’s 50th anniversary execution. Rodine stated Vail Resorts has
key strategies in assisting with accomplishing these goals such as, attack early booking
apprehension due to conditions; maintain brand strength and engagement entering
season; drive visitation through signature events; and continue to dial media spend
effectiveness.
Rodine reviewed this season’s upcoming events with the members. The 50th
Anniversary events will kick off with early season First Tracks with the U.S. Ski Team
and opening day gondola unveiling and inaugural ride. The events around December 15
Anniversary with New York City 50th anniversary film media and VIP premiere, Vail 50th
anniversary film public premiere, public birthday celebration on December 15 and Vail
Snow Daze concerts and other concerts throughout the season. The EpicMix is offering
two new components, racing and photo. The racing component to EpicMix is based on
Lindsey Vonn’s pace and is replacing NASTAR. The photo component is revised
products and locations and offers the 50th stamp on Vail images which are easier to
12/4/2012
purchase and download. If any member would like to have the logos, they will need to
send an email request to brodine@vailresorts.com.
Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships will be on February 27 – March 3 and
will be nationally and internationally televised. The championship is the largest
snowboard only event in North America, with a 22-foot pipe in Golden Peak Terrain
Park.
VLMD Summer Research Results:
Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership, presented Town of Vail 2012 Summer Intercept
Final Report to the members. Romer explained the objective of the intercept study is to
gain a picture of where Town of Vail guests reside and how satisfied they are with their
experience, to identify which summer events and activities guests participate in and to
understand additional event themes that guests would be interested in seeing. Overall
experience satisfaction increased compared to two years ago and the value for price
paid has also increased compared to the last two surveys. There was an increase
(+17%) in the number of guests who chose to fly into Colorado instead of driving and an
8% increase of guests who stayed in paid lodging when compared to last season.
Romer stated the increase could be possibly due to a recovering economy. Activities
that do not include a high level of physical exertion seem to be the most popular during
the summer which coincides with one of the main reasons they visit Vail for “Rest and
Relaxation”. When guests were asked for the purpose of their visit to Vail, 52%
responded “enjoying the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains”; 50% “rest and
relaxation” and 20% “enjoyment of the Town (shopping, dining and leisure)”. Music
Festivals/Concerts and sporting events continue to be the top events that guests would
come back to Vail specifically for. The study showed the Mexico and England markets
have continued to grow year over year as well as the number of respondents who
mentioned that they are here with family.
Prioritize Ideas to Enhance Economic Vitality:
At the October VEAC meeting members were requested to provide ideas to enhance
economic vitality. Members were provided a list of those economic vitality ideas in their
packets to assist with prioritizing the ideas in long term, short term, and not viable at
today’s meeting.
Long-Term Ideas:
Summer activities through Epic Discovery that Vail Resorts is bringing to
the mountain and how to piggyback onto them
Williams stated it’s very important for the business owners to
support Vail Resorts summer activities on the mountain to the US
Forest Service.
A hiking center with experts
Members were not sure if “expert” was needed rather than
“knowledgeable”
A learning center for 300 people
A conference/learning center to provide educational programming
Purchase the Cascade building and utilize it for a conference center,
performing arts center, learning center; Rayla Kundolf reported there is a
group looking at this opportunity
Recycling program for the entire community
Short-Term Ideas:
A hiking center with experts
12/4/2012
Work with USFS for permitting and signage being less restrictive
for hiking and public/private partnerships – Daly volunteered to
talk with the US Forest Service.
More hiking signs on paths
Town location to provide hiking maps – possibly train Information
Center employees with hiking information such as location, skill
level and length.
Protect our natural resources, such as Gore Creek
Encourage Vail Resorts to keep mountain activities open longer and
businesses to remain open as well when opportunity presents itself
Offer incentives and streamlined processes for new businesses or
current businesses remodeling their spaces
Bring back the triangle bus services from Vail, Eagle Vail and Beaver
Creek
Leading up to the 2015 Championship the demand will increase
Partner with Beaver Creek to talk to County Commissioners and
ECOTransit Board
Focus on well-being experience
Be more environmentally active by having a true recycling program in the
core
Attract more groups to Vail during shoulder seasons
Events - stay focused and do a few things well
Not Viable Ideas:
Town provide a program for businesses which reach or pass certain sales
tax level get to keep 1-2% and reinvest back into the town either by
events or other economic stimulus
Town should consider hiring someone or contracting with a company to
sell sponsorship of the Vail brand
Employee housing regulation changes to assist small businesses with the
housing requirements
A casino and hotel at the Lionshead parking structure
Utilize a portion of the Timber Ridge property for an orthopedic campus
Additional Ideas Discussed with an Ongoing Impact:
Town should stay the course and continue doing what they are already doing
Discourage the negative talk of “off season”, “mud season” and “weather is
the issue”
Everyone have a YES attitude
Financial Reports:
The financial reports were provided in the committee’s packets. Camp did mention this
summer was the most successful with June, July, August and September being #1
record setting months.

From: Sally Lorton
Re: October Sales Tax
I estimate Vail will collect another $77,000 in October sales tax to bring
October collections to $618,948. If so, we will be up 2.4% or $14,204 from the
amended budget and down .7% or $4,472 from October 2011. Year to date
would be up 3.8% or $592,005 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 12.6% or $1,810,390 from the
original budget and 4.6% or $710,390 from the amended budget.
