BACKGROUND: The Town Council allocated $85,000 toward the funding of
an event to be held on Memorial Weekend 2013 to kick off the summer
season. The Commission on Special Events has taken several steps to arrive
at a concept for Town Council’s consideration and approval. Research was
conducted with focus groups comprising representatives of the Vail target
audience as well as an online questionnaire that was sent to a database of
4,000. The culinary concept received the most traction of the concepts
tested. FEAST! Vail is the concept being proposed which would bring a
fresh look at the superior culinary talent here in Vail by pairing local chefs up
against some of the best talent from Denver. There would be intimate food
and wine pairings, 12 custom seminars daily, an exercise and culinary event,
après events to meet guest chefs and a farm to table event. Complete
information is in the attached presentation including estimated ROI,
community involvement, marketing strategy, budget framework and next
steps. The CSE will work collaboratively with Highline Sports and
Entertainment, the event promoter, to further develop the proposed event
components and to ensure that the Vail restaurant community will embrace
the concept.

ITEM/TOPIC: EGE Air Alliance Request for Funding of $30,000 for 2013
(20 min.)
PRESENTER(S): Mike Brown & Chris Romer
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Council is being asked to approve,
approve with modifications or deny the request.
BACKGROUND: The EGE Air Alliance is a 501c6 not-for-profit entity
dedicated to creating a vibrant flight service program at the Eagle County
Regional Airport. The EGE Air Alliance is a public-private partnership with
participants including local municipalities and private business stakeholders.
Over the past five years, the community has lost 27% of the available seats
into the Vail/Eagle County regional Airport (EGE). For EGE in the winter of
2007-08 (the peak year for enplanements) there were 273,000 available
inbound seats. This winter there are 212,000 inbound seats, with a 34,000
seat decrease from last winter. EGE Air Alliance is working to confirm a non-
stop flight from Houston this summer on United Airlines: 5 days a week, June
27th – September 7th. The 2013 budget includes a $6,500 line item for
administrative costs for the air program, so if approved, this would mean
adding $23,500 to the 2013 budget.

with modifications or deny the request.

Vail to maintain and protect certain views to the surrounding area from public
plazas and pedestrian ways. Encroachments into existing view corridors are
allowed when it can be determined that the proposed encroachment does not
negatively impact the intended purpose of the view corridor.
Three residential property owners within the Lionshead Centre Building are
proposing to complete residential additions to their dwelling units. The 2/5/2013
proposed additions encroach into View Corridor #8. In order to construct the
residential additions as proposed, the property owners must first be granted
permission by the Town of Vail to encroach upon the existing view corridor.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town of Vail Planning & Environmental
Commission (PEC) has granted an approval of the request for an
encroachment into View Corridor #8. The approval was granted based upon
the review of the criteria and findings outlined in the memorandum to the

Tuesday, January 8, 2013
6:00 P.M.
Vail Town Council Chambers
The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by
Mayor Andy Daly.
Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor
Kerry Donovan
Kevin Foley
Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Pro-tem
Greg Moffet
Margaret Rogers
Susie Tjossem
Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager
Matt Mire, Town Attorney
Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager
Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk
_________________________________________________________________
The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. There was no public comment. Kevin
Foley and the Council congratulated Heidi Kloser of Vail, on her second place finish and her first
World Cup podium win in Freestyle. Council also congratulated Mikaela Shiffrin of Eagle-Vail
for her two top wins in Slalom. The two women are representing Vail and Eagle County very
well on the international skiing stage.
The second item on the agenda was the Town Manager Report. There was no report.
The third item on the agenda was Resolution No. 2, Series of 2013, a resolution approving the
redemption of all outstanding Timber Ridge Affordable Housing Corporation adjustable rate
housing facility revenue bonds and authorizing the Town of Vail's funding of Timber Ridge
Affordable Housing Development via capital contribution and a loan to the Timber Ridge
Affordable Housing Corporation.
Judy Camp, Finance Director, stated this financing alternative followed the attempt to redevelop
that failed about a year ago and subsequent consideration of other financing alternatives. The
funding of this project is part of the 2013 budget. The town will be buying down $8 million of
deed restrictions and lending $8 million to the TRAHC over the next 20 years at 1.5%, with no
prepayment penalty. The only difference from the budget is timing moved forward which will
save the town $80,000 in interest costs.
Rogers stated Camp and Zemler have done a terrific job on the funding for Timber Ridge. This
option makes it easier, simpler and saves the town money. Moffet asked which accounts the
$16 million will come out of. Camp said the capital contributions will come from the general fund
and the loan will come from the capital projects fund. An additional $1.3 million will be funded
from TRAHC reserves. There will be no outside debt on this project, saving approximately
2/5/2013
Town Council meeting minutes of January 8, 2013 Page 2
$550,000 in external financing costs in the first year. This financing also allows the town to
have more flexibility on potential redevelopment and financing options in the future.
Moffet made a motion to approve Resolution No. 2, Series of 2013 and the motion was
seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed, unanimously, 7-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was first reading of Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2013, an
ordinance adding a new Section 2-1-4 to the Vail Town Code, to ensure adequate funding for
the Town's Long-Range Capital Program.
Matt Mire said this ordinance was a result of the ballot question from last November.
Rogers stated Council needs more detailed information of what the actual percentages are to
make a better decision. Camp said for the budget that was approved for 2013, the split is 38
percent to the capital projects fund and 62 percent to the general fund. On average, over the
past ten years, the split had been 56% to the general fund and 44% to the capital projects fund.
Tjossem stated that approving this ordinance now allows the budget planning cycle to move
forward in May. Daly said the town has a shortfall of approximately $1 million in the general
fund if all 2013 expenditures were paid for with 2013 revenues. The town is using its reserves
to cover the shortfall. He said if the town is not successful in having excess revenue the split
ratio would be closer to 67 percent to the general fund. The split is related to sales tax
collections only. Further discussion ensued about the various revenue sources in which the
town receives funding.
Daly said they need to recognize incremental expenditures and change the ratio as necessary
to cover expenses out of current revenues instead of taking them out of reserves. If the Council
changes the split to 33% into capital and 67% into operations, they could pay out of current
revenue instead of reducing the reserves. Daly asked the staff to put in a split of 67/33 which
would be a more accurate reflection of how Council recommends allocating dollars. Daly said
they need to be up front how the town’s money will be spent.
Rogers said the amount of sales tax the town receives above budget goes into the capital
projects fund. Camp said that has been the direction, but it can be changed at any time.
Council requested staff bring back more information at a future meeting so they are more
informed to make a decision to move forward with approving Ordinance No. 1. Zemler said they
can give the Council a couple of different scenarios at a future meeting.
The fifth item on the agenda was Resolution No. 1, Series of 2013, Posting of Public Notices for
2013 for Town of Vail.
Moffet made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1, Series of 2013, and the motion was
seconded by Kurz. Foley said he would like to have staff consider posting notices at the Vail
Library. Brandmeyer will speak with the Vail Librarian to consider. A vote was taken and the
motion passed, 7-0.
The sixth item on the agenda was Adjournment.
As there was no further business, Moffet made a motion to adjourn and the motion was
seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The meeting
adjourned at 6:26 p.m.

2/5/2013
Town Council meeting minutes of January 15, 2013 Page 2
to define the terms golf course and golf course clubhouse, and setting forth details in regard
thereto.
Moffet made a motion to table the first reading of Ordinance No. 21, 2012, to the February 5,
2013, meeting. The motion was seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 5-0.
The fifth item on the agenda was a request to table the first reading of Ordinance No. 22,
Series of 2012, an ordinance for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-
7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for a rezoning of the Vail Golf Course parking lot from
the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District, located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot
3, Sunburst Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Moffet made a motion to table the first reading of Ordinance No. 22, 2012, to the February 5,
2013, meeting. The motion was seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 5-0. Foley said this item was also continued to the Planning and Environmental
Commission meeting of January 28, 2013.
The sixth item on the agenda was first Reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2013, an
Ordinance amending Section 6-3C-6 of the Vail Town Code to reconcile the Vail Town Code
with the newly enacted Section 16 of Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution (Amendment 64).
Matt Mire, Town Attorney, said Colorado voters recently passed Amendment 64 which added a
new Section 16 of Article XVIII regarding the personal use and regulation of marijuana.
Amendment 64 allows local governments to prohibit the possession of marijuana and marijuana
accessories by persons under the age of 21 years and to prohibit the open and public
consumption of marijuana by persons of any age. It is the desire of the Council to pass
legislation reconciling the Vail Town Code with Amendment 64 and to clarify and codify the
town's prohibition of medical marijuana businesses.
Daly asked if this ordinance would make the town code consistent with the Colorado state
statutes. Mire said yes.
Moffet made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 2, 2013, and the motion was
seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The seventh item on the agenda was the reading of Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2013, An
Emergency Ordinance Adopting a Temporary Ban on Marijuana Establishments in the Town,
Pursuant to the Newly Enacted Section of Article XVIII of Colorado Constitution (Amendment
64).
Matt Mire, Town Attorney, stated pursuant to Article XVIII, § 16(5)(f) of the Colorado
Constitution, the town may "prohibit the operation of marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana
product manufacturing facilities, marijuana testing facilities, or retail marijuana stores through
the enactment of an ordinance." He said this emergency ordinance allows staff time to study
the effects of such marijuana establishments, consider the town's existing land use regulations
and master plan and thereafter provide information to the Council as to whether such uses
should be permitted at any location in the Town. During such time, the Council finds and
determines that it is the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare for the town to
2/5/2013
Town Council meeting minutes of January 15, 2013 Page 3
adopt a temporary ban on the location of marijuana establishments in the town and the Council
finds and determines that an emergency exists, to prevent marijuana establishments from
locating in the town during the time that town staff is studying the effects of such establishments
and the proper location for such establishments and if they will be permitted in town.
The moratorium is valid until August 6, 2013, at which time the Council can then apply
consistent regulations as the State of Colorado (State). The State has until July 1, 2013, to
finalize language. Moffet said nuisance and odor issues will also need to be addressed.
Rogers said this moratorium will be in place until the State gives guidance and allows the town
to review local ordinances. This doesn’t mean the town will be banning anything but this
ordinance just delays the process until the town staff finds out how to best regulate this process.
Moffet made a motion to approve emergency Ordinance No. 3, 2013, and the motion was
seconded by Rogers. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The eighth item on the agenda was an update on Ford Park Phase 2. This update to the
Council includes a status report of the Phase 1 Construction progress and schedule, the
submittal to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) of the Phase 2 Development
Plan for Ford Park and a request by the Vail Valley Foundation (VVF) to proceed through the
Development Plan process.
Greg Hall, Public Works Director, stated there are three items to be discussed; the Phase II
Development Plan, Phase I items under construction and additional design work needed.
The second phase deals with the covered social court yard at the Amphitheater; improvements
to Betty Ford Way; the Betty Ford Alpine Garden (BFAG) education building; the box office
improvements; the Ford family tribute; riparian restoration, playground improvements and
permanent exhibit space which are all interrelated. Staff requested Council provide comments
on the Ford Park Phase II Development Plan submittal to the PEC and grant permission to the
VVF to proceed through the Phase II development process.
Zemler said the Ford Tribute is now scheduled to be adjacent to the covered social court yard.
All of the Phase II components are unfunded projects. The Council wanted to know who made
the decision to move the Ford Tribute to the social courtyard instead of at the juncture of the
Manor Vail entrance and Betty Ford Way.
Pedro Campos, Landscape Architect with Zehren and Associates, said the cottage for AIPP
needed to stay in this area. Adding the Ford Tribute created too much congestion in this area.
So given the AIPP concerns and discussion with the VVF, because of the congestion in this
area, they moved the tribute piece to the social area in front of the Amphitheater. Tjossem said
if the space is too tight; take the tribute arrival monument out.
Campos said an arrival component still needed to be there to announce people have arrived in
Ford Park. Way finding solutions and landscape solutions are still being discussed and there is
still a need to allow for large vehicles to come and go on Betty Ford Way. Further discussion
ensued.
Council was concerned the commons area of the lower bench open space has too many art
zones. They want as much open space as possible in the lower bench. Campos said additional
landscaping is in select corner areas where trees exist already and wouldn’t interfere with the
2/5/2013
Town Council meeting minutes of January 15, 2013 Page 4
open areas of the park. Further discussion ensued regarding the open space being sacred in
the lower bench, possible additional landscape areas and possible art areas. If the AIPP
cottage stays, it needs to be improved as well.
Daly asked where the money for Phase II is coming from. Campos stated the VVF is
fundraising. The original budget was approximately $7 million for Phase 1 and Phase II.
However the scope of Phase II is growing and there are unfunded portions of Phase II including
improving the picnic shelter.
Rogers asked about the existing trees in the lower bench and the landscaping proposed around
the lawn area. Campos said enhancing the landscaping along Betty Ford Way is one of the
goals to make it more memorable.
Ceil Folz, VVF, said the goal is to raise $6 million. The VVF has $3 million so far. They believe
that they have another $1 million that is good and another $2 million they feel pretty good about.
Their intention is to have all the fundraising completed by the beginning of the summer. Most
donors are part-time residents. Some of the benefactors are John and Marlene Boll who are
Beaver Creek residents; Mike and Mary Sue Shannon who are Vail residents and Lyda Hill.
Daly asked if the VVF goal to provide the BFAG $1 million was still in the mix. Folz stated the
VVF is going to provide $1 million for the BFAG education center. Any additional money for the
education center above and beyond the $1 million is the responsibility of the BFAG.
Daly stated the Council needs to give the VVF permission to move ahead with Phase II of the
project. Foley stated in the documents submitted it said that Phase II is to design and construct
Phase II. He wants more public comment.
Rogers stated this approval just give the VVF permission to proceed through process and is not
an approval for the design or construction. Campos said they were going to hold public work
sessions with the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and the Design Review
Board (DRB) in February to get their thoughts before moving forward and coming back to
Council. Greg Hall asked if the Council was okay at this time with the design components of
Phase II.
Foley made a motion to allow the VVF to proceed through the planning process and Rogers
seconded the motion.
Daly said there were a lot of elements that will require significant review. He said the approval
from Council to go through the development planning process is in no way approving the
elements and design. He stated that approval from Council will have to be done in the future.
He is very concerned there is too much stuff being added to the park. He said the goal is to
preserve the open space in the park and keeping the character intact for the kids and to have a
large play area. He said the common area needs to be held sacred and the whole area needs
to be safe and fun for kids to play. He also wanted to make sure the Ford tribute and
recognition is appropriate in size and quality to the contribution they made to Vail. Foley
agreed with Daly on the tribute to the Ford’s. Hall said event producers have been notified of
the Phase II schedule. Zemler said all the field improvements were moved back one year. Staff
will make sure the public is informed about the fields being out of commission for the summer of
2014.
A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.

ITEM/TOPIC: Town Manager Report:
1) Main Vail Fire Station EHU update;
2) Timber Ridge payoff
ATTACHMENTS:
Golden Peak Traffic information
2/5/2013
To: Vail Town Council
From: Town Manager’s Office, Public Works Department, Vail Police Department
Date: November 20, 2012
Subject: Vail Valley Drive Traffic
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a report on the actions which have
resulted from refinements and a series of neighborhood meetings concerning traffic
issues on Vail Valley Drive associated with the Golden Peak area.
II. CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS FOR THE 2012-2013 SKI SEASON
Three meetings were held with the neighborhood concerning Vail Valley Drive traffic.
Issues brought up ranged from short term concerns to longer range issues. A final pre
ski season meeting was held on November 1, 2012, and the following is a summary of
the actions items and commitments by the various parties to be implemented this
coming ski season.
Town of Vail:
• All pedestrian crosswalks along Vail Valley Drive will be marked with the cross
walk signs, in addition to advance warning signs on either end of the
neighborhood. Signs will be in place for the ski season.
• Updated traffic counts will be taken during peak traffic times as a comparison to
previous traffic counts the town has on record to provide a more up to date
understanding of the traffic issues.
• The Police Department will have one more Code Enforcement Officer position
filled. In addition, a revised schedule for the Vail Police Department will have
additional police officer coverage on Saturdays during the 2012-2012 ski season.
• A Town of Vail Transportation Ordinance (Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2012,
passed on second reading November 6, 2012) which requires all private vehicles
providing transportation services to be registered and sets out where these
vehicles can operate within the town will be adopted and implemented. This will
allow better education and enforcement regarding issues with the providers.
2/5/2013
Town of Vail Page 2
Vail Resorts
• DEVO(Vail Development Team) drop off will occur at the Vail Transportation
Center exclusively. This will eliminate all traffic to Golden Peak for DEVO in the
mornings. The DEVO pick up will still occur at Golden Peak; however due to
many parents skiing down to pick up their kids, the pick up has been less of an
issue.
• There will be a limited amount of premiere reservation parking at the lots. This
will be a service which utilizes both passport spaces in the rental pool,
approximately 10-15, as well as utilizing 10 striped spaces which can be parked
with 15 cars. The personnel operating the service will also be responsible to
manage the parking lot per the Golden Peak Management Agreement.
Manor Vail
• Manor Vail will be utilizing two parking lot attendants to assist with moving traffic
near their entry when parking is available to the public.
Ski Club Vail
• If needed Ski Club will experiment with running their driveway traffic in the
opposite direction to lessen impacts to the Manor Vail entry. The traffic would
enter the east drive cut and exit out of the west drive cut.
All
• Meet to review the season to date after the Martin Luther King holiday to
evaluate the changes implemented.

ITEM/TOPIC: Memorial Weekend 2013 Presentation
PRESENTER(S): James Deighan, Highline Sports and Entertainment
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Council is being asked to approve, approve with
modifications or deny the request
BACKGROUND: The Town Council allocated $85,000 toward the funding of an event to be
held on Memorial Weekend 2013 to kick off the summer season. The Commission on Special
Events has taken several steps to arrive at a concept for Town Council’s consideration and
approval. Research was conducted with focus groups comprising representatives of the Vail
target audience as well as an online questionnaire that was sent to a database of 4,000. The
culinary concept received the most traction of the concepts tested. FEAST! Vail is the
concept being proposed which would bring a fresh look at the superior culinary talent here in
Vail by pairing local chefs up against some of the best talent from Denver. There would be
intimate food and wine pairings, 12 custom seminars daily, an exercise and culinary event,
après events to meet guest chefs and a farm to table event. Complete information is in the
attached presentation including estimated ROI, community involvement, marketing strategy,
budget framework and next steps. The CSE will work collaboratively with Highline Sports and
Entertainment, the event promoter, to further develop the proposed event components and to
ensure that the Vail restaurant community will embrace the concept.

MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2013
KEY VAIL RESEARCH LEARNINGS AND EVENT OPPORTUNITIES
Luxury did not resonate at all – luxury within the Vail brand connotes the
outdoors and quality time, not material possessions and acquisi tion. Vail is
for participants.
Music – participants are knowledgeable of Vail’s and others music events
and saw a Memorial festival as perhaps too much; when we pivoted to
January discussion in group 2, as an après, ‘walk around’ concept there
was far more traction.
Food – strong traction, especially in group 2, and spread amongst
younger to older; enthusiasm and strong themes:
o Hands on, participatory, competitive and celebrity elements
o The idea of wine pairings, mixology, demos, classes, children’s
cooking, kitchen tours
o Celebrity aspects especially well received; Iron Chef, ‘Throw Downs’
o Indoor/Outdoor, competitions amongst attendees
o Possible tie to Health & Well-being
EVENT OVERVIEW
This Memorial Day weekend Vail kicks off the summer season and tempts the
taste buds with all things culinary. FEAST! Vail is a brand new event that will bring
a fresh look at the superior culinary talent we have here in the Vail Valley by
pairing up our chefs up against some of the best talent from Denver and it will
be a weekend not to be missed. These masters of the kitchen will open their
doors for a weekend of food, wine and spirits that is sure to leave you hungry for
more!
Join us for intimate food and wine paired meals including features from
renowned chefs from the Front Range. Learn tricks of the trade, sample, be
amazed, and get inspired with 12 custom seminars daily. Exercise while still
honing in on your epicurean side with our morning lifestyle events all paired with
a signature brunch. The event will roll into the evening with lively après events
where you can meet and mingle with guest chefs. For a more exclusive
approach come to one of the intimate wine paired dinners which will bring you
face to face with our guest chefs paired up with some of Vail’s finest talent to
bring you a dinner to remember. Save the date for this new event coming to
Vail which highlights the best of Vail Culinary talent while keeping the

MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2013
FEAST! VAIL BUDGET FRAMEWORK
The FEAST! Vail event budget will require careful construction and management
in order to successfully produce the inaugural culinary event.
There will be a number of expected revenue streams produced by the event
beyond the TOV/CSE funding that will help to offset the many expenses
associated with an event of this size and caliber. These revenue streams are
expected to include pass/ticket sales, sponsorships, merchandise sales (branded
aprons, glasses, cutting boards, cook book, et al) and F&B sales. Revenue
estimates will be honed once the complete schedule of events is finalized.
On the expense side of things, we see the major costs being tenting/rentals,
staffing, costs associated with bringing in the guest chefs and marketing. We are
anticipating that we will receive the marketing expertise and spend of VLMDAC
to help showcase this culinary kick-off to summer in Vail. Additionally, we will
look to solicit value-in-kind contributions from numerous vendors to help liquidate
the numerous event expenses. Some of these may include but are not limited to
trade with advertising outlets, rental companies, lodging, and more. Value-in-
Kind is especially important with a first year event. Expense estimates will be
finalized once the complete schedule of events is determined.
In closing, Highline has over 15 years experience managing large event
budgets, including culinary events like Gourmet on Gore, and we are confident
this can be a fiscally successful event in year one and beyond.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: February 5, 2013
ITEM/TOPIC: EGE Air Alliance Request for Funding of $30,000 for 2013
PRESENTER(S): Mike Brown & Chris Romer
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Council is being asked to approve, approve with
modifications or deny the request.
BACKGROUND: The EGE Air Alliance is a 501c6 not-for-profit entity dedicated to creating a
vibrant flight service program at the Eagle County Regional Airport. The EGE Air Alliance is a
public-private partnership with participants including local municipalities and private business
stakeholders. Over the past five years, the community has lost 27% of the available seats into
the Vail/Eagle County regional Airport (EGE). For EGE in the winter of 2007-08 (the peak year
for enplanements) there were 273,000 available inbound seats. This winter there are 212,000
inbound seats, with a 34,000 seat decrease from last winter. EGE Air Alliance is working to
confirm a non-stop flight from Houston this summer on United Airlines: 5 days a week, June
27th – September 7th. The 2013 budget includes a $6,500 line item for administrative costs for
the air program, so if approved, this would mean adding $23,500 to the 2013 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council is being asked to approve, approve with modifications
or deny the request.

Competitive Set Funding Structures
• Securing Air Service to Eagle County and most other comparable communities
requires public/private funding models. Eagle County is NOT unique in this
area.
Gunnison/Crested Butte Regional Airport: $29.78 per available seat
– $2,200,000 annual community funding
– .6% sales tax in resort communities plus $800k from tourism assoc.
Montrose County Regional Airport/Telluride Airport: $21.70 per seat
– $2,800,000 annual community funding
– 2% sales tax plus private business contributions
Yampa Valley Regional Airport (Steamboat): $11.11 per seat
– $2,000,000 annual community funding
– .25% sales tax, 2% lodging tax plus private business contributions
Aspen Pitkin County Field: unknown
– Privately funded by Aspen / Snowmass business community
– Focus primarily on winter
2/5/2013
Competitive Set Funding Structures
Eagle County Regional Airport: $2.74 per available
seat in 2012
– Prior to 2012, annual budget was $400k to $600k (summer)
–Vail Resorts has funded and marketed 100% of all winter air
service.
With our competition already having solid,
sustainable funding models, we are at a
crossroads with our air service program.
We must get serious as an Alliance or we
will be left in the dust by our
competitor resort communities. 2/5/2013
EGE Economic Impacts

DATE: January 14, 2013
SUBJECT: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on an application for
an encroachment into an existing view corridor, pursuant to Section 12-22-6,
Encroachments Into Existing View Corridors, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
encroachment of an addition to the Lionshead Centre Building into View Point #8,
located at 520 East Lionshead Circle/Lot 5, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120047)
Applicant: Jorge Esteve, Javier Barrios, and Lucilia DeLaLama, represented
by Suman Architects and Mauriello Planning Group
Planner: Bill Gibson
I. SUMMARY
The applicants, Jorge Esteve, Javier Barrios, and Lucilia DeLaLama, represented by
Suman Architects and Mauriello Planning Group, are requesting the review of an
application to allow for the encroachment of an addition to the Lionshead Centre
Building into the adjacent View Point #8.
Based upon Staff’s review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a
recommendation of approval, with conditions, for this view corridor encroachment
application, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Pursuant to Section 12-22-4, Adopted View Corridors, Vail Town Code, the subject
View Point #8 protects “a view from the pedestrian plaza at the east end of the Lifthouse
Lodge looking south directly up the gondola lift line.” The existing Lionshead Centre
Building frames the eastern side of this view corridor and the Arrabelle Hotel frames the
western side of the view corridor.
The applicants are proposing an 803 sq.ft. (originally proposed as an 859 sq.ft.) addition
to Units 208, 308, and 309 of the Lionshead Centre Building. The proposed addition is
2/5/2013
Town of Vail Page 2
located at the rear (south) of the existing building and extends the existing western
exterior wall of the Lionshead Centre Buidling south toward the adjacent ski yard.
Although the proposed addition is located at the rear (south) of the Lionshead Centre
Building, the proposed addition will impact View Point #8 because the west façade of
the existing Lionshead Center Building and View Point #8 are not precisely parallel.
The exterior wall of the subject addition is proposed to extend one foot and three inches
(1’-3”) into the view corridor and the associated roof eave is proposed to extend two feet
of seven eighths of an inch (2’-07/8”) into the view corridor.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), proposed view corridor encroachment (Attachment B),
the applicant’s request (Attachment C), and the associated, design review approved
architectural plans (Attachment D) have been attached for review and inclusion in the
record.
III. BACKGROUND
According to the Eagle County Assessor, the Lionshead Centre Building was
constructed in 1970. On October 15, 1970, a condominium map of the constructed
Lionshead Centre Building was recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder.
On August 4, 1992, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992,
which in part established Chapter 18.73 (now known as 12-22), View Corridors, Vail
Town Code, for the purpose of protecting views within the Town of Vail. This chapter of
the Town’s zoning regulations has subsequently been amended numerous times.
On December 15, 1998, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 14, Series of
1998, which established the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. This master plan
included a recommendation to preserve certain public views, including a view from the
pedestrian mall looking directly south up the gondola lift line.
On August 6, 2012, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2002,
which established the subject View Point #8 (formerly know as Lionshead view corridor
#2).
On November 18, 2008, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 23, Series of
2008, which in part amended the subject View Point #8 to reflect the construction of the
Arrabelle development project which frames the west boundaries of View Point #8.
On December 5, 2012, the Design Review Board approved the accompanying design
review application for the subject addition to the Lionshead Centre Building
(DRB120433) by a vote of 4-0-0 with a condition of approval that:
“This design review approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of
Vail approval of the associated view corridor encroachment/amendment
application.”

V. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
VAIL LAND USE PLAN
CHAPTER II: LAND USE PLAN GOALS / POLICIES (in part)
The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the
series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals
were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions
were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect
a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts
and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review
process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town
Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development
proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land
Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal.
The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as
follows:
1. General Growth / Development
2/5/2013
Town of Vail Page 4
1.1. Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a
balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the
visitor and the permanent resident.
1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever
possible.
4. Village Core / Lionshead
4.2. Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing
character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban Design
Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan.
5. Residential
5.1. Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing,
platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist.
5.4. Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a
full range of housing types.
CHAPTER VI: PROPOSED LAND USE (IN PART)
LRMP Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Included in this category are those properties which are identified as being included in
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan boundaries. Properties located within this
land use category shall be encouraged to redevelop, per the Master Plan
recommendations, as it has been found that it is necessary in order for Vail to remain a
competitive four-season resort. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to
encourage a safe, convenient and an aesthetically-pleasing guest experience. The
range of uses and activities appropriate in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
(LRMP) land use category may include skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base
facilities, public restrooms, ticket sales, clubs, public plazas, open spaces, parking and
loading/delivery facilities/structures, public utilities, residential, lodges, accommodation
units, deed restricted employee housing, retail businesses, professional and business
offices, personal services, and restaurant uses.
LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
4.4 PUBLIC VIEW CORRIDORS
On May 20, 1997, recognizing the importance of visual connections, the Vail Town
Council approved the use of the existing Town of Vail view corridor ordinance to
designate the first protected public view corridors in Lionshead. In order to qualify for
protection under the Town’s ordinance, a view corridor must meet the following criteria:
2/5/2013
Town of Vail Page 5
a. Is the view critical to the identity, civic pride, and sense of place of
Lionshead? A nice view is not sufficient.
b. Is the view seen from a widely used, publicly accessible viewpoint? Views
from private property cannot be recognized or protected by this ordinance.
c. Is the view threatened? Is there a possibility that development on nearby
property would block the view?
It is critical to note that the following recommended public view corridors will create a
development constraint that will work with all other applicable development and
regulatory guidelines and standards. The suggested location and outline of any view
corridor is not intended to create a “build-to” line for a vertical architectural edge that
would not be allowed under other applicable guidelines and standards. According to
these criteria and following an intensive public input process, protection of the following
public view corridors is recommended (see Map O):
4.41 Public View Corridors Protected under the Town of Vail View Corridor Ordinance
It is proposed that two legally protected view corridors be established according to
existing Town of Vail code:
4.412 View Corridor Two
This view corridor (see figure 4-2) is seen from the pedestrian plaza at the east end of
the Lifthouse Lodge, looking south directly up the gondola lift line. This view fulfills the
following criteria:
a. It fosters civic pride and is central to the identity of Lionshead.
b. It is taken from a commonly used, publicly accessible viewpoint.
The mountain view from this point is currently very broad, crossing much of the Vail
Associates core site. As part of the redevelopment of the Vail Associates core site this
view corridor should become narrower and more focused on the new gondola terminal.
Given the current lack of a defining architectural edge, the dimensions of this corridor
should roughly correspond to the suggested view boundaries outlined in figure 4-2.

Town of Vail Page 6
TITLE 12: ZONING REGULATIONS
CHAPTER 12-21: VIEW CORRIDORS (IN PART)
12-22-1: PURPOSE:
The town believes that preserving certain vistas is in the interest of the town's residents
and guests. Specifically, the town believes that:
A. The protection and perpetuation of certain mountain views and other
significant views from various pedestrian public ways within the town will foster
civic pride and is in the public interest of the town.
B. It is desirable to designate, preserve and perpetuate certain views for the
enjoyment and environmental enrichment for the residents and guests of the
town.
C. The preservation of such views will strengthen and preserve the town's unique
environmental heritage and attributes.
D. The preservation of such views will enhance the aesthetic and economic
vitality and values of the town.
E. The preservation of such views is intended to promote design which is
compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment, and is intended to
provide for natural light to buildings and in public spaces in the vicinity of the view
corridors.
F. The preservation of such views will include certain focal points such as the
Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower, which serve as prominent landmarks within
Vail village and contribute to the community's unique sense of place.
12-22-3: LIMITATIONS ON CONSTRUCTION:
No part of a structure shall be permitted to encroach into any view corridor set forth in
this chapter unless an encroachment is approved in accordance with section 12-22-6 of
this chapter.
12-22-4: ADOPTION OF VIEW CORRIDORS:
Photographs on record with the department of community development and the
following legal descriptions are hereby approved and adopted as official view corridors
protecting views within the town. The photographs taken represent the boundaries
defined by the legal descriptions. The camera used to take the photographs was held
five and four-tenths feet (5.4') above the instrument, which is approximate eye level for
most adults. A thirty five millimeter (35 mm) camera was used for each photograph;
however, once developed, some photographs were cropped or enlarged to improve the
graphic representation of each view corridor.

reasonable development of a proposed structure on the applicant's land.
The Lionshead Centre Building was constructed in 1970. The original construction of
this building pre-dates the Town’s 1998 adoption of view corridor recommendations in
the Lionhead Redeveloment Master Plan, the Town’s 2002 adoption of the subject View
Point #8, and the Town’s 2008 amendment to the western boundary of View Point #8 to
match the newly constructed facade of the Arrabelle Hotel.
The applicants are proposing an 803 sq.ft. addition to Units 208, 308, and 309 of the
Lionshead Centre Building. The proposed addition is located at the rear (south) of the
existing building and extends the existing western exterior wall of the Lionshead Centre
Buidling south toward the adjacent ski yard. Although the proposed addition is located
at the rear (south) of the Lionshead Centre Building, the proposed addition will impact
View Point #8 because the existing Lionshead Center Building and View Point #8 are
not precisely parallel. Units 208, 308, and 309 are the only residential units in the
Lionshead Centre affected by this circumstance. Other units in the building have the
opportunity for expansion without impacts from View Point #8.
In proposing to construct an addition to Units 208, 308, and 309, the western exterior
wall of the addition is proposed to extend 1’-3” into the view corridor and the associated
roof eave is proposed to extend 2’-07/8” into the view corridor. This 803 sq.ft. proposed
addition to Units 208, 308, and 309 of the Lionshead Centre Building increases the total
gross residential floor area (GRFA) of the building from 28,781 sq.ft. to 29,584 sq.ft..
This proposed GRFA is under the maximum GRFA of 100,515 sq.ft. allowed by
Article12-7H, Lionshead Mixed Use 1, Vail Town Code. The proposed addition causes
no change to the existing setbacks, height, site coverage, landscaping area, or parking
of the Lionshead Centre Building.
Through its December 5, 2012, approval of the associated design review application
(DRB120433), the Design Review Board determined that the proposed addition to the
Lionshead Centre Building is in keeping with the character of the area and the scale and
bulk of the surrounding uses.

Town of Vail Page 11
Staff believes the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the
originally intended views of the gondola lift line and adjacent ski runs; and that the literal
enforcement of the view corridor restriction would preclude the applicants from
constructing reasonable additions to their existing residential units. Therefore, Staff finds
the proposed encroachment into an existing view corridor meets this review criterion.
2. That the development of the structure proposed by the applicant would not be
such as to defeat the purposes of this chapter.
The proposed encroachment into View Point #8 includes an exterior wall encroachment
of 1’-3” and the associated roof eave encroachment of 2’-07/8” to facilitate the
construction of an addition to the rear of the subject building. Staff believes the
proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended
views of the gondola lift line and adjacent ski runs.
Based upon a review of Section 12-22-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code:
Staff finds that the proposed encroachment into existing View Point #8 will not
diminish the civic pride or the public interest of the town.
Staff finds that the proposed encroachment will not detract from the enjoyment or
environmental enrichment of the existing view corridor for Vail’s residents or
guests.
Staff finds that the proposed encroachment will not weaken or eliminate the
town’s unique environmental heritage or attributes.
Staff finds that the proposed view corridor encroachment will not diminish the
aesthetics or economic vitality and values of the town.
Staff finds that the proposed encroachment maintains the existing character and
design of the Lionshead Centre Building which is compatible with the surrounding
natural and built environment and provides adequate natural light to buildings
and public spaces in the vicinity.
Staff finds that the proposed encroachment continues to preserve views of the
landmark gondola ski line and adjacent ski runs that contribute to the
community’s sense of place.
Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment into the existing view corridor does
not defeat the purposes of Section 12-22-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code, as outlined in
Section V of this memorandum, and the proposed encroachment is consistent with this
review criterion.

Town of Vail Page 12
3. That the development proposed by the applicant would not be detrimental to
the enjoyment of public pedestrian areas, public ways, public spaces, or public
views.
As identified above, the proposed encroachment into View Point #8 includes an exterior
wall encroachment of 1’-3” and the associated roof eave encroachment of 2’-07/8” to
facilitate the construction of an addition to the rear of the subject building. Staff believes
the proposed encroachment is minor in scope. Due to the depth of the addition and
alignment of the existing building, the proposed addition does not block the originally
intended views of the gondola lift line and adjacent ski runs. Therefore, Staff finds the
proposed view corridor encroachment will not be detrimental to the enjoyment of the
public pedestrian areas, public ways, public spaces, or public view consistent with this
review criterion.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be
located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to
surrounding uses.
The proposed encroachment into View Point #8 includes an exterior wall encroachment
of 1’-3” and the associated roof eave encroachment of 2’-07/8” to facilitate the
construction of an addition to the rear of the subject building. Staff believes the
proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended
views of the gondola lift line and adjacent ski runs.
The 803 sq.ft. proposed addition to Units 208, 308, and 309 of the Lionshead Centre
Building increases the total gross residential floor area (GRFA) of the building from
28,781 sq.ft. to 29,584 sq.ft.. This proposed GRFA is under the maximum GRFA of
100,515 sq.ft. allowed by Article12-7H, Lionshead Mixed Use 1, Vail Town Code. The
proposed addition causes no change to the existing setbacks, height, site coverage,
landscaping area, or parking of the Lionshead Centre Building.
Through its December 5, 2012, approval of the associated design review application
(DRB120433), the Design Review Board determined that the proposed addition to the
Lionshead Centre Building is in keeping with the character of the area and the scale and
bulk of the surrounding uses.
Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment into View Point #8 is consistent with
this criterion.
5. That the proposed structure will not diminish the integrity or quality nor
compromise the original purpose of the preserved view.
As identified above, the proposed encroachment into View Point #8 includes an exterior
wall encroachment of 1’-3” and the associated roof eave encroachment of 2’-07/8” to
facilitate the construction of an addition to the rear of the subject building. Staff believes
the proposed encroachment is minor in scope and does not block the originally intended
views of the gondola lift line and adjacent ski runs. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed
2/5/2013
Town of Vail Page 13
encroachment will not diminish the integrity or quality of the subject view corridor, nor
will the proposed encroachment compromise the original purspose of the preserved
view. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed encroachment to be consistent with this
review criterion.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Introduction
Lionshead
Centre
is
located
at
520
E.
Lionshead
Circle.
The
owners
of
3
residential
units
within
Lionshead
Centre
-‐
Jorge
Esteve
(Unit
308),
Javier
Barrios
(Unit
208),
and
Lucila
DeLaLama
(Unit
309)
-‐
are
proposing
additions
to
their
dwellings.
It
is
a
total
of
859
sq.
ft.
of
GRFA
located
over
the
existing
footprint
of
Lionshead
Centre.
Following
a
conceptual
review
on
November
7,
the
DRB
application
for
the
proposal
was
approved
on
December
5
with
a
condition
that,
“This
design
review
approval
is
contingent
upon
the
applicant
obtaining
Town
of
Vail
approval
of
the
associated
view
corridor
encroachment/amendment
application.”
A
survey
of
the
view
corridor
was
conducted
and
indicates
that
the
addition
will
encroach
into
View
Corridor
#8
approximately
2
ft.
for
the
roof
and
1.16
ft.
for
the
wall
of
the
building.
The
survey
of
this
encroachment
is
provided
below,
along
with
a
photo
rendering
of
the
view
corridor
impact.
In
these
images,
the
red
indicates
the
existing
view
corridor,
while
the
yellow
indicates
the
area
of
encroachment.
As
indicated
in
the
survey
above,
the
view
corridor
does
not
run
parallel
with
the
existing
building
and
as
a
result,
there
is
a
slight
encroachment
into
the
corridor
where
the
proposed
addition
is
an
extension
of
the
plane
of
the
existing
wall.
However,
as
it
is
the
intent
of
this
view
corridor
to
3 2/5/2013
preserve
the
view
of
the
gondola
lift
line,
the
proposed
encroachment
maintains
the
integrity
of
the
view
corridor.

Units
208,

of
859
sq.
ft.
The

Background
on
View
Corridors
On
May
20,
1997,
recognizing
the
importance
of
visual
connections,
the
Town
Council
approved
the
use
of
the
existing
Town
of
Vail
view
corridor
ordinance
to
designate
the
first
protected
public
view
corridors
in
Lionshead.
In
order
to
qualify
for
protection
under
the
Town’s
ordinance,
a
view
corridor
was
required
to
meet
the
following
criteria:
1.Is
the
view
corridor
critical
to
the
identity,
civic
pride,
and
sense
of
place
in
Lionshead?
2.Is
the
view
seen
from
a
widely
used,
publicly
accessible
viewpoint.
3.Is
the
view
threatened?
Is
there
a
possibility
that
development
on
nearby
property
would
block
the
view?
The
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan
identifies
this
view
corridor
as
View
Corridor
Two,
and
states
the
following:
4 2/5/2013
4.4.1.2
View
Corridor
Two
This
view
corridor
(see
figure
4-‐2)
is
seen
from
the
pedestrian
plaza
at
the
east
end
of
the
Lifthouse
Lodge,
looking
south
directly
up
the
gondola
lift
line.
This
view
fulfills
the
following
criteria:
a.It
fosters
civic
pride
and
is
central
to
the
identity
of
Lionshead.
b.It
is
taken
from
a
commonly
used,
publicly
accessible
viewpoint.
The
mountain
view
from
this
point
is
currently
very
broad,
crossing
much
of
the
Vail
Associates
core
site.
As
part
of
the
redevelopment
of
the
Vail
Associates
core
site
this
view
corridor
should
become
narrower
and
more
focused
on
the
new
gondola
terminal.
Given
the
current
lack
of
a
defining
architectural
edge,
the
dimensions
of
this
corridor
should
roughly
correspond
to
the
suggested
view
boundaries
outlined
in
figure
4-‐2.
Prior
to
the
redevelopment
of
the
Core
Site
into
Arrabelle
at
Vail
Square,
this
view
corridor
was
surveyed
and
adopted
in
2002.
Following
the
construction
of
the
Arrabelle,
the
view
corridor
was
amended
to
reflect
the
new
building,
and
was
surveyed
and
adopted
in
2008
as
View
Point
#8.
The
photo
of
View
Point
#8
is
provided
below:

D.
Criteria
for
Review
Section
12-‐22-‐6:
Encroachments
into
Existing
View
Corridors,
provides
the
review
criteria
for
an
encroachment.
It
states
the
following:
Criteria
For
Encroachment:
No
encroachment
into
an
existing
view
corridor
shall
be
permitted
unless
the
applicant
demonstrates
by
clear
and
convincing
evidence
that
the
encroachment
meets
all
of
the
following
criteria:
1.That
the
literal
enforcement
of
section
12-‐22-‐3
of
this
chapter
would
preclude
a
reasonable
development
of
a
proposed
structure
on
the
applicant's
land.
Applicant
Response:
The
view
corridor
disproportionately
affects
the
owners
of
208,
308,
and
309.
These
units
are
located
on
the
far
west
of
Lionshead
Centre
and
are
the
only
units
which
are
affected
by
the
view
corridor.
While
other
units
have
had
opportunity
for
expansion,
these
are
limited
by
the
view
corridor
to
do
similar
enclosures.
Due
to
the
configuration
of
Lionshead
Centre,
the
proposed
additions
are
in
the
only
location
available
to
the
owners
of
these
units.
By
not
allowing
this
encroachment,
the
owners
are
precluded
from
reasonable
development
of
their
units.
6 2/5/2013
2.That
the
development
of
the
structure
proposed
by
the
applicant
would
not
be
such
as
to
defeat
the
purposes
of
this
chapter.
Applicant
Response:
Section
12-‐22-‐1
of
the
Vail
Town
Code
provides
the
purposes
of
the
View
Corridor
chapter.
These
purposes
are
as
follows:
12-‐22-‐1:
PURPOSE:
The
town
believes
that
preserving
certain
vistas
is
in
the
interest
of
the
town's
residents
and
guests.
Specifically,
the
town
believes
that:
C.The
protection
and
perpetuation
of
certain
mountain
views
and
other
significant
views
from
various
pedestrian
public
ways
within
the
town
will
foster
civic
pride
and
is
in
the
public
interest
of
the
town.
D.It
is
desirable
to
designate,
preserve
and
perpetuate
certain
views
for
the
enjoyment
and
environmental
enrichment
for
the
residents
and
guests
of
the
town.
E.The
preservation
of
such
views
will
strengthen
and
preserve
the
town's
unique
environmental
heritage
and
attributes.
F.The
preservation
of
such
views
will
enhance
the
aesthetic
and
economic
vitality
and
values
of
the
town.
G.The
preservation
of
such
views
is
intended
to
promote
design
which
is
compatible
with
the
surrounding
natural
and
built
environment,
and
is
intended
to
provide
for
natural
light
to
buildings
and
in
public
spaces
in
the
vicinity
of
the
view
corridors.
H.The
preservation
of
such
views
will
include
certain
focal
points
such
as
the
Clock
Tower
and
Rucksack
Tower,
which
serve
as
prominent
landmarks
within
Vail
village
and
contribute
to
the
community's
unique
sense
of
place.
Because
the
encroachment
is
minimal
(at
only
2
ft.
for
the
roof
and
1.16
ft.
for
the
building)
the
integrity
of
the
view
corridor
is
maintained.
The
view
corridor
is
intended
to
protect
the
view
of
the
gondola
lift
line
as
it
runs
up
Vail
Mountain
and
there
is
no
effect
to
this
view,
which
is
an
important
focal
point
in
Lionshead.
Because
the
request
is
for
an
encroachment
only,
as
opposed
to
an
amendment,
to
the
view
corridor,
if
Lionshead
Centre
were
ever
demolished,
the
existing
view
corridor
boundaries
would
need
to
be
maintained
with
any
new
construction.
As
a
result,
the
proposal
does
not
defeat
the
purposes
of
Chapter
22:
View
Corridors.
3.That
the
development
proposed
by
the
applicant
would
not
be
detrimental
to
the
enjoyment
of
public
pedestrian
areas,
public
ways,
public
spaces,
or
public
views.
Applicant
Response:
The
proposed
encroachment
would
be
imperceptible
to
the
public
from
any
public
pedestrian
areas,
public
ways,
public
spaces
or
public
views.
The
proposed
addition
matches
the
existing
wall
of
Lionshead
Centre
and
any
attempt
to
jog
the
building
would
create
an
architectural
error
which
would
be
more
noticeable
to
the
public.
4.That
the
development
proposed
by
the
applicant
complies
with
applicable
elements
of
the
Vail
land
use
plan,
town
policies,
urban
design
guide
plans,
and
other
adapted
master
plans.

Applicant
Response:
The
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan
provides
the
guidance
for
the
adoption
of
view
corridors
in
Lionshead.
The
Master
Plan
provides
the
following:
4.4

On
May
20,
1997,
recognizing
the
importance
of

in
Lionshead.
In
order
to
qualify
for
protection
under
the
Town’s

must
meet
the
following
criteria:
a.Is
the

and
sense
of
place
of
Lionshead?
A
nice
view
is
not
sufficient.
b.Is
the
view
seen
from
a
widely
used,
publicly
accessible
viewpoint?
Views
from
private
property
cannot
be
recognized
or
protected
by
this
ordinance.
c.Is
the
view
threatened?
Is
there
a
possibility
that
development
on
nearby
property
would
block
the
view?
It
is
critical
to
note
that
the
following
recommended
public
view
corridors
will
create
a
development
constraint
that
will
work
with
all
other
applicable
development
and
regulatory
guidelines
and
standards.
The
suggested
location
and
outline
of
any
view
corridor
is
not
intended
to
create
a
“build-‐to”
line
for
a
vertical
architectural
edge
that
would
not
be
allowed
under
other
applicable
guidelines
and
standards.
According
to
these
criteria
and
following
an
intensive
public
input
process,
protection
of
the
following
public
view
corridors
is
recommended
(see
Map
O):
The
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan
then
provides
recommendation
for
the
adoption
of
two
view
corridors
which
were
to
be
adopted
immediately,
while
the
remaining
three
view
corridors
(plus
an
additional
three
in
Ever
Vail)
were
to
be
adopted
after
development
occurred
on
key
sites.
Lionshead
View
Corridor
#2,
the
view
corridor
in
question
with
this
application,
was
one
recommended
for
immediate
adoption.
The
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan
states:
4.4.1.2
View
Corridor
Two
This
view
corridor
(see
figure
4-‐2)
is
seen
from
the
pedestrian
plaza
at
the
east
end
of
the
Lifthouse
Lodge,
looking
south
directly
up
the
gondola
lift
line.
This
view
fulfills
the
following
criteria:
a.It
fosters
civic
pride
and
is
central
to
the
identity
of
Lionshead.
b.It
is
taken
from
a
commonly
used,
publicly
accessible
viewpoint.
The
mountain
view
from
this
point
is
currently
very
broad,
crossing
much
of
the
Vail
Associates
core
site.
As
part
of
the
redevelopment
of
the
Vail
Associates
core
site
this
view
corridor
should
become
narrower
and
more
focused
on
the
new
gondola
terminal.
8 2/5/2013
Given
the
current
lack
of
a
defining
architectural
edge,
the
dimensions
of
this
corridor
should
roughly
correspond
to
the
suggested
view
boundaries
outlined
in
figure
4-‐2.
As
indicated
in
the
general
photo
for
View
Corridor
2,
the
existing
Lionshead
Centre
building
was
established
as
the
general
eastern
boundary
of
the
view
corridor.
However,
as
clearly
stated
in
the
section
above:
“The
suggested
location
and
outline
of
any
view
corridor
is
not
intended
to
create
a
“build-‐to”
line
for
a
vertical
architectural
edge
that
would
not
be
allowed
under
other
applicable
guidelines
and
standards.”
It
was
not
the
intention
that
that
the
view
corridors
limit
the
ability
of
individual
property
owners
to
improve
their
properties.
Instead,
it
is
clearly
the
intention
that
the
architecture
is
meant
to
frame
the
view
to
be
protected.
In
this
case,
the
view
is
of
the
gondola
lift
line.
Furthermore,
the
Master
Plan
also
recommends
that
this
view
be
much
narrower
than
the
adopted
view
corridor.
As
indicated
in
the
photos
below,
the
original
recommendation
for
this
view
corridor
actually
bisected
the
ski
run,
where
as
the
adopted
view
corridor
is
much
further
west,
into
the
tree
line.
View
Point
#8,
adopted
2008 LHMP
Recommended
View
Corridor
#2
The
proposed
encroachment
complies
with
the
recommendations
as
provided
in
the
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan.
5.That
the
proposed
structure
will
not
diminish
the
integrity
or
quality
nor
compromise
the
original
purpose
of
the
preserved
view.
Applicant
Response:
The
original
purpose
of
this
view
corridor
was
stated
in
the
Lionshead
Redevelopment
Master
Plan
when
adopted
in
1998
and
further
refined
with
the
adoption
of
it
as
View
Point
#8.
The
purpose,
as
stated
in
Chapter
22:
View
Corridors
of
this
view
is:
To
protect
the
views
of
Vail
Mountain
from
the
core
of
Lionshead.
As
indicated
in
the
analysis
provided
in
this
submittal,
this
view
is
not
affected
by
the
proposed
encroachment
and
the
integrity
of
this
view
is
maintained.
