(45 Minutes)
PRESENTER(S): Tom Kassmel
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The purpose of today's work session is
to provide the Council with a better understanding of the layout and impacts of
identified Frontage Road improvements, specifically with regards to improvements
at the Lionshead Parking Structure Entry and those extending to the Municipal
Building intersection.
BACKGROUND: Since 1993 the Town of Vail has had an adopted Vail
Transportation Master Plan. The Master Plan has evolved over the past 20 years
to keep up with changing conditions. A consistent theme of each iteration of the
Master Plan has been improvements to the Frontage Roads, specifically to include
adequate turn lanes. As a resuit of the need for turn lanes now and in the future,
the Town has adopted a typical section for the Frontage Roads. The typical
sections include landscaped medians to accommodate turn lanes and break up the
`sea' of pavement. Recent examples of these include the Vail Plaza Hotel and Four
Seasons medians. The Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Project and the
Frontage Road Improvement Project both budgeted for 2014 implement a portion
of the adopted Master Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends moving forward with the interim
recommended plan as recommended by the LHMP, VTMP, VRA Lionshead Public
Facilities Development Plan and the most recent traffic analysis. The plan is within
budget and will provide the best guest experience and vehicular Level of Service.

Applicant: Wall Street Commercial, LLC, represented by Suman Architects
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Tabled to April 22, 2013
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 7-0-0
Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He explained that there were
two elements, a variance and a major exterior alteration, to the proposal.
Commissioner Pierce stated a need to have cross-sections of Wa�l Street from east to west in
order to understand the impacts of the proposed commercial infill.
Commissioner Pratt asked if the fence on the west property line were a part of the Commission's
purview.
Warren Campbell explained that the fence was located on the Lodge at Vail property. He further
explained that if the concern were the maintenance of the fence it was a Design Review Board
4�1� � 3
item. If the concern was how the fence screens and/or affects loading and delivery it would fall
under the Commission purview.
Peter Knobel, applicant, explained that he owns two of the commercial stores on the first floor
and several of the offices spaces on the second floor.
Mike Suman, architect representing the applicant, explained that the goal of the project was to
revamp an historic building that currently under-performs. He stated that his client agreed with
the staff recommendations with the exception of the northeast corner and the pedestrian
easement. He continued by explaining the historic use of the northeast corner as a vehicular
drop-off point. He spoke to his thoughts and opinions on the in-fill of commercial floor area at
grade on the northeast corner. In general he felt as though the in fill made architectural sedse
and did not have a negative impact on pedestrian circulation. He then discussed the infill of the
arcade and the space between the Wall Street Building and the Hong Kong Building. He
conc�uded by discussing two architectural schemes which were being considered by the
applicant. Both schemes seek to strengthen the base of the building. Retail would be enhanced.
The design is still rather conceptual.
Commissioner Kurz expressed a concern with the loss of a shaded refuge for guest under the
arcade in the summer. He asked if shading has been give greater consideration than what has
been described.
Mike Suman responded that awnings were being considered. The incorporation of trees would
be difficult
Commissioner Kurz stated the northeast corner should remain open to allow for views and
circulation into Wall Street.
Mike Suman spoke to the character and function of the building and that keeping the northeast
corner open would be compromising to the overall architectural design and not needed. It would
also be detrimental to Wild Bill's storage capacity.
Commissioner Pratt asked why the applicant is opposed to the easement condition
recommended by staff. He pointed out that there should be no need for outdoor display as all
the area used today would be come interior.
Mike Suman explained that iYs a matter of principle. It would create special circumstances unfair
to the property's store owners.
John Dunn, attorney representing the Wall Street Building H.O.A. stated that tentative support
had been given to the project, but that they were not in agreement with the conditions
recommended by staff. Specifically, the request for a pedestrian easement is unfair.
Tom Higgins, owner of the American Ski Exchange, expressed concern about the condition
requiring a pedestrian easement. It's unfair to apply such a condition where no other conditions
exist for other businesses. He spoke to the impacts of the recent streetscape changes and the
negative effect the changes had on the stairs in Wall Street. He spoke to how the elimination of
the landings in the stairs made them more formidable to skiers. The pedestrian flow is already
compromised.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, stated the building is tired and needs to be updated.
However, this will have a long term impact and the Town's planning principles need to be
implemented. The easement condition is not unique and gave the Vista Bahn Building as an
4�1��3
example. He added that the outdoor display racks were irrelevant. The sheer volume of
pedestrian use and the need for spaces the pedestrians can use needs to be considered. He
continued that there may even be a case for a prescriptive easement for pedestrians made by
the Town. He concluded by detailing opportunities to improve loading and delivery in the area
and to this building. He spoke of the potential to include a subterranean tunnel from the Front
Door loading and delivery facility which cold exit at grade on the Wildflower alley walkway.
Gwen Scalpello, Vail resident, stated she is concerned with the expansive flat fa�ade depict in
the proposal. The floor to ceiling windows detract from the character of the building and harken
to an overly urban setting which is inappropriate.
Commissioner Peirce asked to hear from Jeff Winston.
Jeff Winston spoke to the concerns and comments made in his two memorandums. The Wall
Street building is old and under-utilized, but the arcade is unique. He spoke tot eh benefits of the
infill of the arcade, but need to maintain a unique character in compliance with the Design
Guidelines. While the diversity of the Village has broadened, we need to be mindful of the
precedence this and other projects set.
Commissioner Bird would have liked to see plans that put the building in context to the
surroundings. She is worried about the narrowing of Wall Street. How does Wall Street
compare to some other streets in the Village?
Commission Kurz agrees with many of the comments made, stating the difficulty of this proposal.
He stated that Jim Lamont's point is the most resonant. Is this the right solution? He expressed a
concern over the loss of the irregular fa�ade shown in the proposal. He would like to see
elements which would provide shade for pedestrians. He concluded by discussing the character
of the building today and the need to maintain some quirk unique elements.
Commissioner Rediker expressed a concern with the infill at the northeast corner as proposed.
He felt as thought the proposal was not in compliance with the Village Master Plan. He then
spoke to the recommendation of an easement as being appropriate and within the purview of the
Commission. He concluded by stating that he is generally in support of the proposal, but would
like to see a balance between the NE corner and the easement.
Commissioner Bird echoed the comments made by Commissioners Kurz and Rediker.
Commissioner Pratt stated the infill on the south side is uninspiring and suggested a roof form
over the space in place of the proposed deck railing. He added that the infill of the arcade
needed to have more articulation. He suggested that the store fronts should maybe stop at the
back side of the columns in stead of going to the center of the columns. He spoke to a need to
create more substantial columns to establish a base to the structure. He expressed a concern
over the in fill of the northeast corner as proposed. He felt as though an easement was
appropriate as the continued use of outdoor displays would create an unacceptable choke point.
He concluded by stating that the project is not quite where it needs to be.
Commissioner Cartin echoed Commissioner Pratt's points. He added, that landscaping along the
east and north facades would have a positive impact. The landscaping as proposed is not
effective. He added that more articulation in the fa�ade is needed.
Commissioner Bird stated she would like to see more life in the building—articulation is needed
on the fa�ade, flower boxes, etc.. The stone and glass do not fit with the current character of the
building.
4�1� �3
Commissioner Hopkins suggested that the doors should swing inward to be inviting or the
entrance doorways should be recessed into the fa�ade as to have the doors not impact the
pedestrians on Wall Street. She added that the northeast corner should remain open to allow for
views and access.
Commission Pierce stated he is opposed to the infill on the northeast corner. He echoed the
other comments of the Commission.
60 minutes
2. A request for a work session to discuss the initial steps in the planning process for the Vail Valley
Medical Center Facilities Master Plan project, located at 181 West Meadow Drive, Lots E& F,
Vail Village 2nd Filing, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Vail Valley Medical Center, represented by Dan Feeney
Planner: George Ruther
ACTION: No action taken
George Ruther gave a presentation highlighting the effort to do a master facilities plan for the
Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC). The purpose of the master plan will be to identify
opportunities and needs of the medical campus and develop possible solutions. There has been
growth in the medical service needs and the existing facilities are largely at maximum capacity.
There are portions of the master planning process that will impact the town ad its neighbors it is
important to get involvement early. It is anticipated that the master plan would be adopted as a
portion of the Vail Comprehensive Plan. Potentially as an element of the Vail Land Use Plan.
He highlighted a preliminary list of elements that will need to be addresses in a master plan. He
spoke to traffic circulation and access, the helipad location, loading and delivery, etc.
Dan Feeny spoke to the goal of getting feedback from the Commission at this initial point in the
process.
Commissioner Hopkins inquired as to what is the hospital? Is it Steadman Philippon?
Dan Feeny spoke to the close the relationship of Steadman Philippon, Vail Orthopedic Sports,
Howard Head, Colorado Mountain Medical, etc. with the hospital. The VVMC owns the space
these entities are tenants. He added that the VVMC was master planning to provide these
entities continued space on the medical campus. VVMC is an independent not-for-profit hospital
and wants to avoid being a part of a larger for profit medical provider. Fully expects this to be a
multiphase master plan. This is the fact finding phase of the process when the consultant is
trying to understand the needs, concerns, opportunities, problems, etc.
Mark Johnson, consult to VVMC, is wrapping up the assessment stage when the current state
and past state are being studied. The process is intended to be transparent and input is being
sought form affect and interested parties.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked that the presentation be put on the Town's
website. He has always thought of the hospital as a Rubix Cube which is comprised of many
entities and continues to evolve. He added that during the municipal site redevelopment the
need for a VVMC master plan was identified as a need. It is need to address vehicular traffic
and circulation, loading and delivery, and uses on the site. Eight to ten weeks is not enough time
to pull together the adjacent residential owners. He suggests that a schedule be put together of
the groups that need to be engaged in the dialogue. He pointed out a recent improvement with
regard to the loading and delivery and trash facility on Meadow Drive adjacent to residential as a
positive indicator of the partnerships that are present.
4�1�$3
Commissioner Kurz spoke to a need to turn the project to have access off of the Frontage Road.
This would eliminate conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. He spoke to the current
location of the helipad as maybe being appropriate. He suggested the creation of a campus
which includes open space to be a greater contributor to the community. He added a need to
establish an architectural direction for the campus which is in the vein of Vail.
Commissioner Pierce departed at 4:30.
Commissioner Hopkins spoke to the benefit of having and exterior eating area on the south side
and maybe in the future along the creek on the west end of the property. Provides for a human
scale and it is comforting to staff and visitors.
Commissioner Cartin suggested that the constancy and fluidity sought for the VVMC may
warrant its own zone district. The GU zone district is too open and may actually negatively
impact. The town should look at the roads and maybe make West Meadow Drive more
residential in character. The creek on the west end of the project should be improved. Maybe a
park, maybe land swaps.
Commissioner Pratt stated that a pedestrian scale is important.
Commissioner Bird inquired as to the future of the US Bank building.
George Ruther spoke about the likely demolition of the building in the future.
3. A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-6E-8, Density Control, Vail Town Code,

To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Community Development Director
Date: April 16, 2013
Subject: 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to follow up on the input provided during the Vail
Town Council public hearing on April 2, 2103, and to seek clarification and direction on
a number of key Ford Park planning issues. To aid in the discussion, this memorandum
provides a summary on the comments and direction received at the April 2"d public
hearing, preliminary information on the proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan,
and a series of questions which must be addressed to advance the master planning process
forward.
Discussion Goals
The goa] of this discussion with the Vail Town Council is to receive direction on a
number of key issues and answers to key questions. Key issues or questions which need
clarification include:
L How does the Town Council wish to address the recommendations in the
2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendment with regard to the social
courtyard located at the entrance to the Ford Amphitheater? The Betty
Ford Alpine Garden Education Center?
2. Are there any other Phase II improvements (i.e., improved and relocated
restrooms at the children's playground, art in public places installations,
etc.) as noted in the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendment which
warrant further consideration? If so, which improvements should be further
considered for inclusion on the 2013 Master Plan?
3. A boundary line delineating the upper bench of the park from the lower bench has
been proposed. In addition, a concept to further clarify subareas within the park
has also been suggested. Is the Town Council in agreement with the location
of the boundary line and the concept of subareas within the park?
4. A format for the proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan has been
recommended. The proposed format contemplates the compilation of the 1985
Ford Park Master Plan, the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan, and the 2012 Fard
Park Management Plan Amendment. The recommended format is accompanied
by a proposed table of contents which, in its current state of completion,
highlights the major topics and areas of recommendation to be included in the
new master plan. Is the Town Council in agreement with the direction
presently recommended for the format and contents of the new master plan?
1
4/ 16/2013
5. In an effort to protect and preserve Ford Park from unlimited future development,
the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan identified an action step to redefine
allowable uses in the park. A list of allowable use which takes precedence over
the underlying zone district was proposed. Allowed and prohibited uses in Ford
Park include:
Allowed Uses
Park and greenbelt
Bicycle and hiking trails
Children's playground
Outdoor amphitheater
Botanical gardens
Environmental, educational, and historical centers
Picnic areas
Recreation and athletic facilities
Transportation systems and other public utility easements
Parking
Administrative offices
Prohibited uses
Ski lift and related facilities
Exchange or trade
Civic center, convention/conference center, public schools, gymnasium, and
assembly hall
Swimming pools
Equestrian trails
Type III and IV employee housing
Does the Town Council believe the lists should be amended or altered in any
way to reflect current planning goals for the park? If yes, what amendments
are needed? Should temporary uses and structures such as art exhibits or
tents be addressed? If so, what is the goal to be achieved in this regard?
At a minimum, additional design standards and criteria should be added to the
new master plan to further clarify how the allowed use could be incorporated into
the park resulting in unintended negative consequences. For instance, does the
Town Council want to adopt design standards and criteria which address vehicle
intrusions into the park (see Goal #2, 1997 Ford Park Management Plan), year
round access, emergency vehicle access, impacts on landscape buffers and
existing vegetation, bulk, mass, scale of buildings and structures, parking
requirements, conflicts between users, etc.
6. Administrative office use is an allowed use within the park. Presently, both the
VRD and WF inaintain administrative offices in the park. Each was granted
approval to do by the Town of Vail in accordance with the issuance of a
2
4/ 16/2013
conditional use permit. According to the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan,
"staff offices for on-site park activities are an allowed use. "
While it is clear the use is permissible, subject to compliance with the goals and
objectives articulated in Ford Park planning documents, further clarity is needed
to ensure that the administrative office use remains accessory, or secondary and
incidental, to the primary purposes of the park. To do so effectively, a set of
quantitative standards should be adopted to further clarify the use. A maximum
of 15% of the total gross square foot area of a building or structure is
recommended for office use. A 15% figure ensures that the need for the use can
be accommodated yet maintains the use as an accessory or secondary function.
As a policy, does the Town Council agree with this recommendation, and
therefore, instruct staff to further develop the regulatory requirements to
implement this policy?
Summary of Comments and Direction
1. As requested by the Vail Town Council, the following sentence of the 2012
Management Plan has been amend to read as follows, "As endorsed by the voters,
a portion of these funds was to provide funding for improvements to Ford Park,
specifically improvements to the Ford Amphitheater, ,
, the expansion of the athletic fields and restrooms
improvements at the Ford Park athletic complex. " This sentence has been
amended through out the document.
2. 2012 Ford Parlc Management Plan Amendment, Policy Statement 2: New, e�
changed, or expanded facilities or uses will not be permitted to curtail existing
public uses of facilities in the Park unless there is either a compelling public
interest or adequate alternative facilities are available to its users. Maintenance
and upgrades to existing structures and buildings is permitted to ensure all
functions in the park �� are maintained and function at a high quality
level.
3. The Town Council asked for policy language to be added to the proposed 2013
Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan which limits the addition of any new structures
in Ford Park to be located on the upper bench of the park. As a policy, no new
structures are to be located on the lower bench. Additionally, the Town Council
asked that in implementing this policy direction, only those structures and
improvements already approved and currently under construction in Phase I be
allowed. Approved Phase I improvements include:
• trash enclosure and storage building relocation,
• South Frontage Road bus stop improvements,
• Passenger drop off area/parking lot improvements,
• restrooms and concessions building,
• restrooms and park storage building,
• enhanced Betty Ford Way improvements,
• outfield retaining wall and fence/safety netting relocation,
3
4/ 16/2013
• multi-purpose area/enlarged sports fields, and
• improved lawn seating at the amphitheater,
• expanded donar/concessions area within the amphitheater, and
• improved east entry and restrooms at the amphitheater.
The Town Council further stated that those structures ar improvements proposed
for Phase II not be included in the planning at this time.
A draft plan map has been created which delineates the boundary line between the
upper bench and lower bench. The expressed purpose of the map is to make
determination for uses and structures which are allowed within the respective
areas of the park. An additional subarea plan map should be created which
defines the leased areas of the park along with preservation or protection areas.
Such an illustration would be used to further specify and clarify allowable uses,
structures and improvements for each of the park stakeholders.
A series of draft plan maps has been attached to this memorandum for reference
and further discussions.
4. The lower commons area of Ford Park is used as a site to erect tents as temporary
structures to accommodate special events. On April 2"d, a question was raised
regarding the frequency at which this occurs. The following table quantifies the
frequency and duration of time that tents were erected on the lower commons area
site from 2008 - 2012.

Proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan
The 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan will represent a compilation of the 1985 Ford
Park Master Plan, the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan and the 2012 Ford Park
Management Plan Update. The following outline lists the nine chapters envisioned for
the 2013 Plan Update. For each chapter "bullet points" highlight the major topics or
sections to be addressed in each chapter. Plans and/or graphics for each chapter are listed
and when applicable, additional comments about the chapter and/or its relationship with
other planning efforts, etc. are provided. Note that when additional comments are
provided it is not the intention that this language is proposed for the final plan, rather
these comments are provided as explanation regarding the Chapter.
This outline is intended to provide Council with an indication of the "direction" staff is
moving towards with respect to the preparation of the 2013 Plan. This is a"work in
progress" that will evolve over the coming weeks.
A draft outline of the proposed plan follows below:
DRAFT OUTLINE
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan
1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose of the Plan, how it will be used to guide the use of and future
improvements to the park
Why this Plan was prepared, how it evolved from previous planning efforts,
etc.
History of Ford Park
Note - It is assumed that the history section will be taken predominantly from the
history section of the '85 Plan and the Ford Park Background section of the '97
(with minar modifications as may be necessary). Reference could also be made to
the site plan of the Park from the Vail Plan.
2. SITE ASSESSMENT/EXISTING CONDITIONS
• Site context
• Site characteristics/influences
4/ 16/2013
• Surrounding uses
Plans/Graphics
Map deiining boundary of Park (new)
Existing Site Conditions Map (potentially use map from '85 Plan)
Note — This section will include the site description/evaluation section from the
'85 Plan, updated as necessary.
3. PREVIOUS PLANNING EFFORTS/COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
• Overview of community outreach that was done during preparation of '85
Plan (surveys, meetings, etc.) and establish how this community involvement
culminated in alternative plans far Ford Park and ultimately a preferred plan
that defined the future development of the park/range of desired
improvements.
• Overview of process/community input done during preparation of '97 Plan.
• Explain how this ' 13 planning effort is about providing improved
direction/clarity in order to help guide decision-making on the future of the
park; that the overall vision for the Park established by the ' 85 Plan and
further clarified by the '97 Plan process has largely defined what the parlc is
today; that there are no thoughts of re-visiting the overall vision for the park,
nar is there an interest in making majar changes to the character or facilities in
the park.
• Conclude that this ' 13 planning effort is to clarify, refine, etc. the plans for
Ford Park and to do so in one consolidated document.
Plans/Graphics
To provide historic perspective, insert alternative site plans and the final master
plan from the ' 85 Plan
4. GOALS/OBJECTIVES/POLICES AND ACTION STEPS
Note - The goals, objectives, policies and action statements are important aspects
of a master plan as among other things they typically provide direction for future
capital improvements and are also used to evaluate development/improvement
proposals. The'85 Plan did not include specific goal statements; however
goal/policy "direction" can be gleaned from the narrative found in this Plan. The
'97 Plan did include goals, objectives, policies and action steps.
This section will reflect a combination of the "direction" from the '85 Plan and
the goals, objectives, policies and action steps from the '97 Plan along with any
necessary refinements that will come out of this ' 13 Planning process. Below are
the nine "directions" taken from the '85 Plan (presented in the April 2, 2013 staff
memo) and a brief statement regarding how and where they will be incorporated
into the ' 13 Update:
A. Ford Park is intended to meet the recreational needs of the community (to
be address in new goal statement ar an expanded Goal #1)
B. Care is to be taken to conserve and enhance natural areas (to be addressed
in expanded Goal #1 and/or new objectives/policies)
6
4/ 16/2013
C. Active recreation elements are to be consolidated and located away from
the meadow and creek (to be addressed in new objective/policy statements
and the description of the Gore Creek Sub-Area)
D. The park will be protected from over-development (to be addressed in an
expanded Goal #1 and/or new objective/policy statements)
E. Locate high use facilities away from more passive uses (to be addressed in
new objective/policy statements)
E Stepping of structures into the existing topography (to be addressed in
design criteria and Goal #1 objectives/policies)
G. Locate parking areas adjacent to the Frontage Road and away from areas
with children (to be addressed in objective/policy statements for Goal #2)
H. Utilize berms and landscape buffers to separate uses (to be addressed in
design criteria and potentially in Sub-Area descriptions andlor Illustrative
Plan narratives)
The Master Plan provides guidelines for which future development will be
evaluated (address in purpose section of ' 13 Plan and as an
objective/policy for Goal #1)
Below are the major sections to be included in this chapter:
• Introduction to Goals/Policies/Actions Steps, how they were created and how
they are to be used.
Goal statements - the six goal statements from the '97 Plan will be used as a
starting point, to be modified/expanded as necessary. These six goals from
the '97 Plan are:
Goal # 1: Preserve and protect Ford Park.
Goal #2: Reduce vehicular intrusions in, and their impact on, the park.
Goal #3: Reduce conflicts between all Ford Park venues.
Goal #4: Resolve parking and South Frontage Road access problems.
Goal #5: Improve internal pedestrian circulation within Fard Park and the
pedestrian connections between Ford Park and Vail Village.
Goal #6: Delineate financial responsibilities among Ford Park leaseholders
and the Town of Vail.
Objectives — the objectives from the '97 Plan will be used as a starting point,
to be modified/expanded as necessary.
Policies — the policies from the '97 Plan will be used as a starting point, to be
modified/expanded as necessary.
Action Steps — the action steps from the '97 Plan will be used as a starting
point, to be modified/expanded as necessary.
5. FORD PARK SUB-AREAS
Note — The thought behind the Sub Areas is to replace the notion of the park
being divided into the upper and lower bench, that more specificity is needed
when addressing the different areas of the park. A good example of this approach
is the Sub-Area section included in the 2008 Vail Village Master Plan Update.
7
4/ 16/2013
Explain the concept of the park's sub-areas — i.e. areas of park with distinctive
uses and/or features that are unique and as such may warrant "special"
attention to guide future decision making regarding management, uses,
potential improvements, etc.
Sub-Area Narratives — describe the uses, characteristics of the area; identify at
a general level potential improvements, things that may change, things that
should not change; address specific design considerations to be addressed for
improvements that may occur within the Sub-Area; essentially provide a
vision statement for the sub-area.
• Sub Areas to include:
-Athletic Fields
-Tennis Center
-Parking/Operations
-Amphitheater
-Alpine Gardens
-Playground
Plans/Graphics
Map of Ford Park Sub-Areas
6. ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN
-Passive Recreation
-Open Space
-Gore Creek Corridor
-Nature Center
-Soccer Field
Note - It is assumed that this plan will generally reflect the improvements
depicted in the ' 12 Update, subject to changes that may be made during this
planning process, i.e. the appropriateness of all potential improvements will be
determined based on how they conform with the new goals/objectives/polices and
action steps that are prepared as a part of this planning process. This process may
result in changes to improvements depicted in the ' 12 Plan.
Below are the major sections to be included in this chapter:
Introduction to the Illustrative Plan chapter
Narrative descriptions of each improvement identified for the park
Plans/Graphics
Revised Illustrative Plan
7. DESIGN CRITERIA
• Introduction to chapter, how design criteria are to be used by PEC and DRB,
how they relate to the DRB process.
• Design criteria - criteria from the '85 Plan will provide a starting point, it is
anticipated that these criteria will be eXpandedlrefined.
8. PARK MANAGEMENT
• Introduction to Management
Summary of management and operational parameters for park — it is
anticipated that these will be derived from the '97 Plan and ' 12 Update.
8
4/ 16/2013
9. APPENDIX
• Items to be included in the appendix (TBD).
Town Council Action
In order to remain on the requested schedule, the questions posed in Section II of this
memorandum need to be answered. With clear direction articulated, staff will return to
the Vail Town Council public meeting on Tuesday, May 7th with proposed master plan
language and options for future implementation. If deemed acceptable, the Vail Town
Council, acting on behalf of the owner of Ford Park, could then instruct staff to prepare a
master plan amendment application for review consistent with the Town's adopted
processes. If instructed to do so, the master plan amendment application could be first
reviewed by the Planning & Environmental Commission on Monday, May 13th

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: April 16, 2013
ITEM/TOPIC: Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements;
Frontage Road Improvements & Frontage Road Functional Master Plan
PRESENTER(S): Tom Kassmel
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The purpose of today's work session is to provide the
Council with a better understanding of the layout and impacts of identified Frontage Road
improvements, specificaliy with regards to improvements at the Lionshead Parking Structure
Entry and those extending to the Municipal Building intersection.
BACKGROUND: Since 1993 the Town of Vail has had an adopted Vail Transportation
Master Plan. The Master Plan has evolved over the past 20 years to keep up with changing
conditions. A consistent theme of each iteration of the Master Plan has been improvements to
the Frontage Roads, specifically to include adequate turn lanes. As a result of the need for
turn lanes now and in the future, the Town has adopted a typical section for the Frontage
Roads. The typical sections include landscaped medians to accommodate turn lanes and
break up the `sea' of pavement. Recent examples of these include the Vail Plaza Hotel and
Four Seasons medians. The Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Project and the Frontage
Road Improvement Project both budgeted for 2014 implement a portion of the adopted Master
Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends moving forward with the interim
recommended plan as recommended by the LHMP, VTMP, VRA Lionshead Public Facilities
Development Plan and the most recent traffic analysis. The plan is within budget and will
provide the best guest experience and vehicular Level of Service.

TOWN OF VAIL�
Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Public Works
Date: 4-16-13
Subject: Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvements;
Frontage Road Imrpovements & Frontage Road Functional Plan Master Plan
I. SUMMARY & PURPOSE
The purpose of Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvement project is to improve
the operational efficiency, safety, guest experience and aesthetics of the Lionshead
Parking Structure Entry.
As identified in the previous Council discussion the Lionshead Parking Structure has
three primary operational issues;
1. Transaction Rates & Equipment: With peak exit volumes of 375-450
vehicles per hour, efficiency is critical at the exit booths.
2. Frontage Road Traffic Flow: At peak exiting and entering periods the
Frontage Roads are also at their peak, making entering and exiting difficult
and slow, backing up into the exit lanes and parking structure.
3. Circuitous Route to Exit and Layout: Multiple levels of parking exiting from
the bottom up via a spiraling exit ramp that has up to 5 merge points
before one gets to the exit lanes.
At the previous Council worksession, staff presented a detailed analysis of the
Transaction Rates & Equipment; concluding that the current methodology along with
equipment configuration modifications along with some Pay-On-Foot machines is the
appropriate methodology of transactions for Vail.
The purpose of today's worksession is to discuss the effects of Frontage Road Traffic
Flow and provide the Council with a better understanding of the layout and impacts of
identified Frontage Rd. improvements, specifically with regards to improvements at the
Lionshead Parking Structure Entry and those extending to the Municipal Building
intersection.
4/ 16/2013
II. BACKGROUND
Since 1993 the Town of Vail has had an adopted Vail Transportation Master Plan
(VTMP). The master plan has evolved over the past 20 years to keep up with changing
conditions, with the most recent update being approved in June of 2009. The purpose
of the Master Plan is to guide the implementation of Vail's transportation system into the
future for at least another 20 years.
A consistent theme of each iteration of the VTMP has been improvements to the
Frontage Roads, specifically to include adequate auxiliary lanes. This theme was also
recognized during the Lionshead Master Plan (LHMP) adoption process in 1999. The
Town reaffirmed this by adopting a typical section for the Frontage Roads in 2009. The
typical sections include landscaped medians to accommodate auxiliary lanes and break
up the `sea' of asphalt pavement. Recent examples of these include the Vail Plaza
Hotel and Four Season's medians as compared to areas with no medians in front the
Vail Village Parking Structure.
The purpose of today's worksession is to provide the Council with a better
understanding of the layout and impacts of these identified Frontage Rd. improvements,
specifically with regards to the improvements from the Municipal Building to the
Lionshead Parking Structure Entry that have been budgeted for completion in 2014.
These anticipated improvements have been based on the LHMP, VTMP and the
Frontage Road Functional Master Plan presented to Council in December of 2009 and
again in May of 2010. These improvements were also identified as improvements to be
completed by the Vail Reinvestment Authority, funded by Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
as a part of the adopted Lionshead Public Facilities Development Plan most recently
amended by Resolution Series 9 of 2005.
The LHMP, VTMP and the Frontage Road Functional Master Plan were developed to
allow the Town to comprehensively plan the function and aesthetic of the future
Frontage Road, as well as to provide future direction for staff and future adjacent
developments. The Frontage Road Functional Master Plan came at a time when a
better understanding of physical constraints and impacts were needed, identifying more
specific locations of inedians and walls. It also identified the impacts of Frontage Road
Parking as it related to the development of the CDOT/FHWA parking plan
improvements.
In recent previous discussion of the VTMP and Frontage Road Functional Master Plan,
there have been comments made regarding the "doubling" and "tripling" of the amount
of asphalt the town has along the Frontage Road. Staff has tried hard to balance the
amount of perceived asphalt on the Frontage Roads by integrating landscaped medians
which provides an aesthetic enhancement and a visual buffer of the asphalt. In 2009/10
when the plan was being presented to the PEC and DRB staff quantified the square
footage of existing asphalt at that time and the proposed plan. Below is a result of that
exercise.
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 2
"Vail is certainly somewhat unique in the character of the roadways which run thru town.
The amount of existing asphalt is driven by the location of 1-70, being an east west
dividing line separating the north and south parts of Town. 1-70, with its limited access
points, requires the use of Frontage roads on both sides of the interstate that need to
serve the local access points. Therefore at a minimum two lanes are required for both
the North and South Frontage Roads. Above and beyond those basic needs are
capacity needs (turn lanes at intersections and access points) and safety requirements
(shoulders/bike lanes). Below is a comparison chart of existing asphalt area(2009) and
proposed asphalt area.
If it were not for 1-70 it might be possible that Vail could be served by one five lane
roadway, similar to Copper, Keystone and Aspen."

The Town continues to update and confirm the need for proposed transportation
improvements. As a part of the joint Municipal Office Building (MOB) site
redevelopment the Town had the municipal building/VVMC intersection analyzed for
current, proposed and future traffic conditions. That analysis indicated that added traffic
at this intersection by the MOB project and any future VVMC development which added
traffic to the Frontage Rd. would require intersection improvements of either a traffic
signal or roundabout. This analysis along with the recent traffic counts taken along the
Frontage Roads will be packaged together under a separate document for amendment
to the VTMP at a future Council meeting.
The Lionshead Entry project's Frontage Road improvements fit within the current VTMP
and LHMP and are budgeted using VRA TIF funding, for implementation in 2014. A
more specific analysis follows.
III. PURPOSE AND ANALYSIS
The purpose of today's work session is to update the Council to provide a better
understanding of the Frontage Road Functional Master Plan and discuss the
improvements that have been budgeted for completion in 2014.
The improvements budgeted for 2014 include increasing the capacity, safety,
functionality, and aesthetics of the portion of Frontage Road that is between the town
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 3
Municipal Building and the Lionshead Parking Structure Entry. These improvements
accommodate vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian uses. The improvements include;
• Continuous auxiliary lane in both west and eastbound directions
• Turn lanes
• Raised landscaped medians
• Sidewalk connecting the existing walk at US Bank Building to the one at the
Lionshead Parking Structure
These improvements provide the levels of service expected along a major connector
road that serve large surface or structured parking lots. They ultimately not only provide
safe and efficient entry and exits but also a level of guest service and experience that is
expected. Similar improvements exist locally at the Vail Village Parking Structure (1100
Spaces), Beaver Creek East and West surface lots (500-600 spaces each), Edwards
Riverwalk surFace and structured lots (400-500 spaces), Copper Mountain,
Breckenridge, Keystone, and Silverthorne.
In order to complete these improvements it should be recognized that a two tiered wall
system will have to be installed on the south side between the Frontage Road and Vail
International. The wall will be within the Frontage Road Right of Way and will impact
the existing steep hillside. It should also be noted, that until the Municipal Building and
Evergreen redevelop it will be difficult to incorporate the additional raised landscaped
medians between the Municipal Building access and the western most Evergreen
access. In the interim this would remain a striped median, unless access points are
modified. The section of improvements between the western most Evergreen access
and the Lionshead parking structure can be implemented in full.
As a part of the Lionshead Entry Improvement project a traffic analysis has been
completed by Kimley Horn and Associates traffic consultants. The traffic analysis
shows the existing conditions and the current requirements and needs. Based on the
analysis a left turn lane and right turn lane are required, and a right acceleration lane
and left acceleration lane are recommended for this intersection to operate safely and
efficiently.
The following is a table of Level of Service that shows the LOS for existing and future
am and pm peak times with and without improvements.

The left turn lane is warranted per CDOT and the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE), whom are recognized for developing industry standards. CDOT requires left turn
lanes on Frontage Roads with a projected future peak hour left ingress turning volume
greater than 25 vehicles per hour (vph). ITE suggests 20 vph. Based on entry parking
data of the Lionshead parking structure the typical 15th busiest peak hour entering lefts
is 234 (2012/13 season), with the threshold of 25 being exceeded for almost the entire
day, every day of the winter season..
The right turn lane is warranted per CDOT and ITE. CDOT requires Frontage Roads
with a projected future peak hour right ingress turning volume greater than 50 vph. ITE
suggests when turn movements equal 10% of a thru volume of more than 350 vph.
Based on entry parking data of the Lionshead parking structure the 15t" busiest peak
hour entering right hand turns is 92, with the threshold of 50 being exceed at least once
every day of the winter season.
The right acceleration lane is warranted based on the level of service analysis. CDOT
does not require acceleration lanes on Frontage Roads with a speed limit of less than
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 6
40 mph. However due to the volume of exiting right turns and the level of service
analysis it is highly recommended to include it. For comparison CDOT would require
the acceleration lanes if the speed limit was 40 mph if the projected future peak hour
exiting right turn volume was greater than 50 vph. The Lionshead parking structure's
15th busiest peak hour exiting right hand turns is 226, with the threshold of 50 being
exceeded every day of the winter season for the majority of the day.
The left acceleration lane is warranted based on the level of service analysis. CDOT
does not require left turn acceleration lanes on Frontage Roads with a speed limit of
less than 45 mph. However due to the volume of exiting left turns and the level of
service analysis it is highly recommended to include them. The Lionshead parking
structure's 15t" busiest peak hour exiting left hand turns is 119.
IV. CONCEPT LAYOUTS
Staff reviewed the impacts of these improvements using conceptual layouts (attached)
of three different scenarios;
Frontage Road Functional MP improvements as presented in 2009/10
Interim improvements including the recommended auxiliary and turn lanes
Minimum improvements including only the minimum required turn lanes
The Frontage Road Master Plan improvements assume a future "Build-Out" scenario,
and include the recommended improvements at the Lionshead Entry and an additional
auxiliary lane in the eastbound direction west of the Lionshead Entry which is not
deemed necessary at this time. This scenario requires a substantial amount of wall
along the north side of the Frontage Road in order to accommodate the additional
eastbound auxiliary lane. Therefore this option is not recommended at this time.
The Interim improvement plan assumes the needs for the next 10-20 years and includes
the recommended improvements at the Lionshead Entry, eliminating the need for the
wall along the north side of the Frontage Road and leaves the existing curb and gutter
along the north side in its current location. It does require substantial walls along the
south side (up to 12' in height) to accommodate the right acceleration lane and walk.
However, even with a tiered wall system, similar to the new stone veneered walls at
Ford Park, the existing trees along Vail International's frontage should be able to be
saved. This option is the recommended plan.
The Minimum improvements plan provides only the minimum required improvements
and does not provide a free flow right acceleration lane. This plan still requires
significant retaining walls along the south side (up to 8' in height) and also saves the
existing trees along Vail International's frontage. Even though this option eliminates the
right acceleration and auxiliary lane it will only net a reduction of 8' of asphalt width.
This is due to the necessary 4' asphalt bike lane, which can be shared with the auxiliary
lane in the Interim option. This option is not recommended since the benefit of the right
acceleration lane outweighs the savings of 8' feet of asphalt width.

IV. NEXT STEPS
The next steps for the Lionshead Parking Structure Entry Improvement Project are to
combine the recommendations from these past two Council worksessions with
conceptual site layout plans for the Lionshead Parking Structure Entry in order to
address all three identified issues and the entry aesthetics. Staff anticipates presenting
these concepts to the public at a stakeholders meeting and then to the Council at the
end of May.
Lionshead Entry Improvement Proiect Schedule
Concept Design/Public Meeting: April-May 2013
Schematic Design: June-July 2013
Design Development and Entitlements: August-September 2013
Final Design and Construction Documents: September 2013-January 2014
Construction & Equipment Installation: April-June; Sept-Nov 2014
Staff will also begin the design of the Frontage Road Improvements so that each project
can be completed as currently budgeted in 2014.
Lionshead Frontaqe Road Improvements Proiect Schedule
Issue RFP: April 2013
Award Design Contract: May 2013
Design and Construction Documents: June 2013-February 2014
Construction : April-Nov 2014
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends moving forward with the Interim recommended plan as
recommended by the LHMP, VTMP, VRA Lionshead Public Facilities Development Plan
and this most recent traffic analysis. The plan is within budget and will provide the best
guest experience and vehicular Level of Service.
Staff also recommends installing additional landscaped medians to the west of the
Lionshead Entry to East Lionshead Circle. These additional medians were not
anticipated in the current 2014 budget however they will provide an enhanced aesthetic
along this stretch of Frontage Road. Once a design consultant is under contract for the
design of the Frontage Roads we will better understand any additional budgetary needs
and can address them at that time.

Subject: CDOT RAMP Funding
I. SUMMARY
CDOT has recently changed how it budgets and expends funds for transportation
projects. This effort is known as Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and
Partnerships (RAMP), and it has provided access to $1.5 billion dollars of current funds
that will be redistributed to eligible projects that can be completed by December 2017.
The Funding is available in two categories;
• Asset Maintenance and Operational Improvements
• Transportation Partnerships — Public & Private Partnerships (P3s)
All entities, public and private, are eligible to go thru the selection process as long as
the proposed project is directly related to state highway transportation with a suggested
minimum match of 20%.
Staff has discussed potential projects with CDOT that have potential to be selected.
Staff would like to propose the following projects;
• Simba Run Underpass
Frontage Road Improvements
East Vail Water Quality Improvements
The selection process is a two step process;
• Notification of the Intermountain TPR of intent to apply
• Pre-application due to CDOT Region 3 Office
• Notification if selected for further consideration
• Pre-selected Project Applications Due
• Recommended Projects go to Transportation Commission

II. PROJECT DETAIL
The Town of Vail is an eligible applicant under the Transportation Partnerships
category, more specifically, a Public-Public Partnership. After internal staff discussions
and additional discussions with the CDOT Region 3 office, staff has identified three
projects that are potential candidates.
The Simba Run project is a proposed new underpass under I-70 that connects the
North and South Frontage Roads. It is located approximately half way between the
Main Vail and West Vail interstate exits; more specifically at its namesake, the Simba
Run Condominiums. The project has been discussed since the early 1990's and is
referenced in numerous transportation related documents including the I-70 PEIS. It is
also a project that is about to begin a joint feasibility study between CDOT and the
Town of Vail. This joint project is more specifically known as a Planning and
Environmental Linkage (PEL) report to understand its impacts. The total project cost
has been estimated at $20 million dollars. The projects major hurdle has always been
cost. FHWA, CDOT, or the Town has never had the funding mechanism to fund such a
project. This new RAMP program has the potential to be the golden ticket, and a
chance of a lifetime to make the underpass a reality. In order to provide the best
chance of success in the selection process the Town would have to match at least 20%
or $4 million dollars over the next 4 years. However it would be prudent to take this
opportunity to leverage as much funding as possible to take advantage of the RAMP
funds and rate much higher in the selection process by providing a larger match. Staff
suggests a match of 30% or $6m which could be funded by the VRA and TIF dollars.
Attached is a more detailed report of the benefits of the Simba Run Underpass.
The Frontage Road Improvements project consists of upgrading the entire Frontage
Road system within Vail to current transportation standards. Improvements include;
shoulders/bike lanes, auxiliary/turn lanes where required, medians where appropriate,
and necessary maintenance, including an asphalt overly on both the North and South
Frontage Roads and spot reconstruction as necessary. The project would bring the
Frontage Roads up to a standard that would make taking over the Frontage Roads
more realistic if the Town and CDOT so desired at some point in the future. The
estimated total cost of a project is approximately $17 million dollars. The available
RAMP program provides the opportunity to have the improvements completed within
the near future and more importantly not solely at the Town's cost. The Town currently
has $5 millions dollars in Frontage Road improvements budgeted over the next 3 years
and has recently completed over $1.3 million dollars of improvements in the past two
years. Using those dollars as matching funds, the Town could provide a 37% match
significantly increasing the possibility of being selected as a RAMP project.
Some improvement projects that would be a part of this request include;
• Municipal Building to Lionshead $3m Budgeted in 2014
• Cascade shoulders/bike lanes $0.5m Budgeted in 2014
• North Frontage shoulders/bike lanes $1.5m Budgeted in 2014
• Lionshead to Vail Spa medians ($1 m) Unbudgeted
• Timber Ridge turn lanes ($1 m) Unbudgeted
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 2
• Buffehr Creek/LRL/Red Sandstone turn lanes
• Bald Mtn/Booth Creek turn lanes
• 2" Structural Overlay & Spot Reconstruction
($1.5) Unbudgeted
($1 m) Unbudgeted
($8m) Unbudgeted
Other recently completed projects that may be counted toward a Town match include;
• East Vail shoulder/bike lanes $500k 2012
• W. LH Circle turn lanes $500k 2012
• West Vail shoulder/bike lanes $350k 2013
The East Vail Wafer Quality project is a project that provides water quality treatment
within retentions basins near the Gore Creek Campground / I-70 overpass and within
underground facilities at the East Vail interchange. This project is identified in the Gore
Creek Water Quality Improvement Plan and would be an ideal project for a joint
partnership with CDOT. The project is estimated to cost $1 m dollars. The Town of Vail
has water quality funds budgeted and would be able to provide a 20% match for the
project. Other partnering entities like ERWSD may also be able to provide some
matching funds to increase the RAMP match.
III. Recommendation
Staff recommends to proceed with the pre- application which is due May 1 St, providing
the following matching funds over the next 4 years;
Project
• Simba Run Underpass
Frontage Road Improvements
East Vail Water Quality
Cost
$20m
$17m
$ 1m

Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance
and Partnerships
Overview
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is changing how it budgets and expends funds
for transportation projects. Using sound business practices, this new effort, known as Responsible
Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships (RAMP), will better coordinate project expenditures
and available funding.
■ Current Practice. Currently, CDOT does not advertise a project until all of the money is "in
the bank," which means the department is saving money for projects over multiple years
before construction begins. In addition, some projects take several years to construct - so
money often sits unspent when it could be utilized much sooner.
■ New Practice. Under the RAMP program, CDOT will fund multi-year projects based on year
of expenditure, rather than saving for the full amount of a project before construction begins.
Background
In 2006, CDOT instituted a new computer software system called SAP. One of the reasons for doing
so was to improve CDOT business and financial practices, including the potential opportunity to
change the way we budget and expend funds. Since that time, CDOT has not had the opportunity to
change because both state and federal funds have fluctuated greatly. With the recent passage of MAP
-2i and the four-year extension of the federal gas tax we have a bit more certainty in the federal
funding picture than we have had over the last four years, allowing us to pursue this opportunity. In
a time of reduced resources, CDOT is ready to move forward with this new approach to become
more efficient and effective. CDOT joins several other DOTs around the nation who are now utilizing
this method of project delivery, including North Carolina, who also utilizes the SAP system.
Increased Construction, NOT Increased Revenue
You may have heard that CDOT was "saving up money" because we were uncertain about federal
funding, and now we are "releasing" the money. Not true. You may have also heard we dug through
our rather large seat cushions and found a pile of cash without a current home. Also not true. It is
taking better advantage of money in the year it is available and looking at all of our projects funds as
a whole rather than each project as an individual silo that is allowing us to increase construction. As
a result of CDOT altering its budget practices, we will be able to increase project construction by
about $30o million per year over the next five years. This increase in construction activity is one-
time and is from existing, already encumbered dollars, not new funding sources or new
transportation revenues.
Not a Solution to Our Transportation Needs
While this change in fiscal management will help to fill the gap for a little while, it isn't permanent-
it isn't new money- and it isn't large enough to solve Colorado's transportation needs. This is a
4/ 16/2013
http://www.coloradodot.info/programs/RAMP 04/10/2013
Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships — CDOT Page 2 of 2
challenge that will require a much greater, statewide effort. Remember that in January, 2008 the
"Colorado Transportation Finance & Implementation Panel" determined that Colorado needed an
additional $i.5 billion each year to help solve our transportation needs. In a very best case scenario,
CDOT may be able, over the course of five years, to iill one year's gap.

RAMP Program Areas and Funding Allocation
Page 1 of 2
■ Asset Management and Operational Improvements ($i75 Million) - dedicated to slowing
the deterioration and improving the safety of state's highways, bridges and tunnels.
■ Transportation Partnerships ($i25 Million) - dedicated to leveraging state transportation
dollars by creating Public Private Partnerships (P3s) with industry and Public Public
Partnerships with local government to provide improvements on corridors where
partnership opportunities exist. This fund will provide an opportunity for local governments
and CDOT to potentially move forward with projects that CDOT would not be able to fund
alone.
The RAMP Program funding allocations above are for FYi4 only; the Transportation Commission
will revisit the program funding distribution annually.
Eligibility Criteria for Both Programs (click here for more information)
■ Project can be constructed/implemented with 5 years (December 201�)
■ Project is consistent wit h Long Range Statewide Transportation Plan and CDOT Policies
■ On-System improvement projects only or integrated with state highway system
■ Must be able to provide sufficient information on the additional eligibility and evaluation
criteria
Project Selection Process
In the Asset Management and Operational Improvements Program, most categories of projects will
be selected by utilizing existing asset management plans or models. Projects falling into the
Operational Improvements category and Transportation Partnership Program are required to go
through a project application selection process.
Transportation Planning Regions will be asked to identify possible operational and partnership
projects in consultations with CDOT Regions in March and April. Pre-applications for these projects
are expected to be due in May with detailed applications are due in early summer 2013 (specific
dates to be determined). The pre-application form will be available by March 1, 2oi3. Each
application will go through a technical review and ranking by a panel of CDOT Senior Management.
The resulting recommended Program of Projects will be presented to STAC with ultimate approval
by the Transportation Commission by mid-summer.

The Simba Run Underpass
Summary of Benefits — White Paper
September 26, 2008
The Simba Run Underpass is a critical component to serve Vail's traffic needs in that it
provides some relief to the Main Vail Interchange and a fair amount of relief to the West
Vail interchange. Additional benefits realized from this improvement include the provision
for an additional pedestrian crossing of I-70 and a dramatic increase in bus routing
flexibility within Town.
This underpass of I-70 will greatly improve mobility within Vail and it benefits all modes
of travel. Traffic-wise, this improvement will provide moderate relief to the Main Vail
interchange approximately improving operations by one-half a LOS (some approaches
more than others). It's most significant traffic operations benefit is realized at the West
Vail Interchange in which peak hour operations have the potential of improving by up to
two Levels of Service. During peak season peak hour, there are approximately 600
vehicles per hour (both directions combined) simply "u-turning" to cross I-70 via the West
Vail interchange. The Simba Run grade-separation of I-70 will serve this demand, thus
relieving the interchange where traffic concentrations tend to occur due to I-70 access.
This underpass is anticipated to reduce traffic by approximately five percent and 12
percent, respectively, at the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges. Further, the
increased ease of crossing I-70 would reduce total travel along the Frontage Road
system and reduce travel through the existing interchanges, thus extending their
functional life and reducing the level of needed interchange improvements (or reducing
pressure for additional I-70 access). The benefit of this crossing is realized through the
direct connectivity it would provide linking the ski area villages, employment housing,
and commercial areas.
Transit-wise, the Simba Run underpass would provide an excellent opportunity to
enhance service and increase efficiency. The areas served by the West Vail routes are
awkward given major origins and destinations along both sides of I-70. Buses, like all
traffic, are forced to cross I-70 at the Main Vail and the West Vail interchanges, and the
circular routing through town is cumbersome. The underpass would allow for a host of
route revisions resulting in far fewer vehicle-miles of bus travel required for service. With
major activity centers possible along the North Frontage Road west of the new
underpass as well as along the South Frontage Road east of the new underpass, the
potential exists to establish a"spine" or line-haul" service connecting all of these centers.
Other routes within town would then "feed" into the line-haul service. The improved
transit mobility will have a positive impact on the frontage roads and interchange system
by increasing transit ridership thereby decreasing vehicular traffic demand on the
system.
Pedestrian-wise, the Simba Run underpass would provide a crucial link between the
north and south sides of I-70. Pedestrian activity has been known to take place across I-
70 at-grade near the Simba Run location. It is an extremely unsafe situation when
pedestrians are crossing the high-speed freeway. Fencing barrier exists along both sides
of I-70, but openings in the fences are often created (illegally) allowing pedestrian
activity to cross the interstate. The addition of an underpass pedestrian connection will
minimize exposure to fatal pedestrian/vehicular incidents that have occurred along I-70.
Further, the Simba Run underpass would provide an excellent means for bicyclists to
4/ 16/2013
cross I-70, allowing riders an alternative to pedaling through the roundabout
interchanges. The crossing could reduce bicycle/pedestrian travel by as much as four
miles (depending on the specific origin/destination along either side of I-70).
The one drawback of the Simba Run underpass is it's expense. This is the most costly
element in the Transportation Plan. However, it is also an improvement that provides a
significant level of benefit to the Town's mobility for all modes of travel. As a next step,
the Town should undertake a more detailed feasibility study to fully appreciate the
impacts, costs, benefits, and potentially identify a means of funding.

Plastic [3ags, Er�virc�nmental Cc�ncerns and Policy C�ptions — White P�per
VAIL'S COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
The Town of Vail's Environmental Policy states,
"The Town of Vail shall serve as a nationally recognized leader in sustainability through
a commitment to community partnerships and balanced stewardship of human, financial,
and environmental resources in policy and daily operations".
The Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan, adopted by the Vail Town Council in 2009,
commits the Town to reducing waste, reducing energy and carbon emissions, ensuring that the
natural environment, specifically air and water quality, are improved, and that public education
and awareness is increased.
Addressing single use plastic shopping bags as an environmental concern is one way many
communities across the world have attempted to fulfill similar goals.
"What is Vail doing about plastic bags?" is one of the most commonly asked questions of the
Town's environmental sustainability office, and phone calls and emails are increasing as
neighboring counties and towns adopt ordinances. Plastic grocery bags are also the most
popular item collected from the environment during annual highway and river clean ups days.
HISTORY AND STATUS OF ADDRESSING PLASTIC BAGS IN THE TOWN OF VAIL
In 2009, the Colorado Association for Ski Towns issued a Plastic Bag Challenge, in which over
30 towns including Vail competed to record the highest number of reusable bags used at
participating businesses. Vail ranked 5th in the Challenge and recorded thousands of reusable
bags, increasing reusable bag use at City Market and Safeway by over 1000%.
During the Challenge, the Town and local partners purchased and gave away several thousand
reusable canvas bags. The Town also conducted bag giveaway days at the grocery stores,
during which Town employees bagged groceries in reusable bags for customers. The Town
purchased radio spots, posters, and ads in the Vail Daily, visited Red Sandstone Elementary
and Vail Mountain School, and over 40 businesses on a regular basis to keep program
momentum. Town employees also staffed booths at the front doors of both grocery stores to ask
patrons to sign a pledge to reduce plastic bag use, and were given a canvas bag in exchange
for their signature.
Unfortunately, because of the success of the program in 2009, the 5 cent incentive for bringing
a reusable bag no longer exists at local grocery stores. By 2013, reusable bag use has dropped
significantly.
In 2011 and 2012, the movie Bap It was shown to an audience of over 100 people at the
Donovan Pavilion. A sign up sheet for attendees interested participating in facilitating a bag ban
in Vail was provided, to which 45 people expressed a desire to participate in a plastic bag ban
by providing their contact information.
4/ 16/2013
While both City Market and Safeway have a plastic bag recycling barrel at the storefront, less
than 1.5% of plastic bags used are actually recycled, partly because recycling takes 85 times
the amount of energy to produce them', and grocery bag plastic is of such poor quality that
recyclability is minimal. In the fall of 2012, town staff contacted store managers at City Market
and Safeway regarding plastic bag use and was referred to their corporate offices in Denver. A
joint conference call was held with senior managers of Public Relations, who maintain a
consistent message with regard to plastic bag use — they do not publically advocate for the
elimination of disposable grocery bags, but will support the community in the choices they
make.
PLASTIC BAGS INTRODUCED IN THE MARKETPLACE
Plastic shopping bags were first introduced into the market place in 1974." At this time
Montgomery Ward, Sears, and J.C. Penny all switched their shopping bags to plastic. By 1977,
supermarkets began offering plastic bags to shoppers and asking the question, "Paper or
Plastic?" While shopping bags, both paper and plastic, were originally invented with the sole
purpose of packaging and carrying goods at the point of sale, they now serve many other
purposes including advertising and branding for specific goods, services, stores or produce
providers, just as printed reusable bags can do today.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF PLASTIC BAGS
Plastic grocery bags, while convenient are not without environmental and financial impacts.
"Shopping bags, both paper and plastic, use significant energy and resources to create, recycle
and dispose of and are costly to the consumer and to retailers. It is estimated that about 100
billion plastic shopping bags and 10 billion paper shopping bags are used each year in the
United States." Plastic bags, made from fossil fuels, require the energy equivalent of burning 12
million barrels of oil every year."' More information on the life cycle of a plastic bag may be found
here: Life Cycle of a Plastic Baq.
Paper bags are made from a renewable resource or can be made from post consumer recycled
materials, and can be more easily recycled and composted. However, virgin paper bags can
require up to three times the natural resources over their life cycle as plastic bags.'� It is
estimated that each year approximately 14 million trees are destroyed to produce 10 billion
paper bags for consumers.�
Plastic grocery bags have a negative impact on the environment and occupy space in landfills
where they remain for over 1,000 years. Plastic bags are also a major contributor to marine
litter. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there are
large, floating garbage patches in the ocean. One study perFormed by Greenpeace International
and the United Nations revealed that 77% of the marine litter observed around the coasts of
Spain, France and Italy was of plastic origin, and 92.8°/o of that was comprised of plastic bags.
The direct and indirect environmental impacts associated with plastic marine debris are many,
including ingestion, chemical pollutants, and entanglement. Plant life accumulates up to one
million times the amount of pollutants found in plastic, which is then persistent in the food chain.
More information on this study may be found here: NOAA Study.
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS
The costs of producing, recycling, and managing plastic bags as waste are very high. According
to Californians Against Waste, "People think of plastic bags as being free. Instead, they actual►y
cost taxpayers millions every year." US EPA estimates that west coast cities spend $13 per
resident to keep litter from ending up in our oceans as marine pollution. For California, the
overall cost to protect waters from litter is over $412 million each year--with between 8% to 25%
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 2
attributable to plastic bags alone according to clean up data from San Jose and Los Angeles
County. Based on this information, an estimated $33 million to $103 million dollars is spent each
year to manage plastic bag litter in California alone. More information on California's efforts and
cost estimates may be found here: CA Baq Facts
DISPOSABLE BAG REDUCTION OPTIONS
State and Local Governments around the United States and the world have been
working to reduce disposable shopping bag production, use, and waste. Reduction strategies
typically include one or more of the following in order of least to most effective:
Education Bag Recycling Bag Fee Bag Ba�
Incen�i�es Rec�uirement
Education
Campaigns like the CAST Reusable Bag Challenge can be effective for a short time in
decreasing the use of disposable bags. Consistent messaging communicating the
environmental impacts of plastic bags, movie showings, signage, newspaper ads, radio spots,
and giveaways, etc. can be used to support these programs. New York State has implemented
a plastic bag Reduction, Reuse and Education law that is aimed at increasing education to
reduce disposable bag use. Unfortunately education programs alone do not often lead to
sustained behavior change.
Baq Incentives
A bag incentive is a discount off a customer's total bill for bringing their reusable bag. For
example, Whole Foods does not offer plastic bags, but offers a 10 cent incentive per reusable
bag. Vail's City Market and Safeway have used a 5 cent incentive for reusable bags, which
contributes to about 300 reusable bags used during peak summer and winter months. By
contrast, the CAST Challenge efforts led to 9,000 reusable bags used per month, and only a
fraction of customers using reusable bags were reached through the marketing and giveaway
campaigns.
Recvclinq requirement
Some communities require retailers and/or bag manufacturers to provide disposable bag
recycling. This is more applicable to plastic bags because paper bag recycling is already
available through curb-side recycling programs. Recycling requirements can be stand-alone
programs or can be coupled with a bag ban or fee. Madison, WI adopted a recycling
requirement in 2009 which provides City sponsored drop-off facilities for residents to recycle
their plastic bags. In addition, Madison has partnered with local businesses to promote
additional locations where residents can drop-off plastic bags for recycling. The program also
prohibits residents from disposing plastic bags in the municipal waste program and applies
penalties to residents that do not comply.
Enforcement and the high cost of maintaining and shipping containers of plastic bags off for
recycling is often a barrier to the effectiveness of this measure.
Baq Fee
A bag fee is a charge on disposable shopping bags. This approach has had moderate success
in Washington, DC where a minimum $0.05 fee was applied to disposable shopping bags in
2010. By 2011 approximately $2 million in revenue (only half of what was predicted) has been
generated from this policy as well as reducing the number of disposable bags distributed from
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 3
270 million down to approximately 55 million. Today, fees in DC are up to 50 cent per
disposable bag to further discourage plastic bag use. Fees collected through this program are
directed towards cleaning up the Anacostia River where there was a widely recognized
environmental issue. A 2011 survey of business owners in Washington, DC reveals that 58% of
those surveyed saw no change, while 20°/o actually observed a positive effect on business after
the bag ordinance's passing and 12% saw a negative effect from the bag tax.�''
Breckenridge and Boulder have both passed disposable bag ordinances that apply a 10 cent
fee to both paper and plastic bags, while Telluride, Mountain Village, and Aspen apply 20 cent
fees to paper bags and ban plastic bags.
Baq Ban
A bag ban prohibits the use of disposable bags. The ban can apply to all retail estabiishments in
a community, or just large scale grocery stores, which is most often the case. These bag bans
typically focus primarily on banning disposable plastic bags but also include requirements for
paper bags. Paper bag requirements typically include a required percentage of recycled
content, which ranges from 40 to 100%. Note that bag bans are commonly combined with bag
fees. For example, customers in Aspen are charged 20 cents for a paper bag, while plastic bags
are banned. This method provides a disincentive but allows the customer the convenience of a
disposable bag option.
The table below indicates the effectiveness of various disposable bag reduction strategies and
is adapted from an in-depth report, Triple Bottom Line Evaluation, Plastic Baq Policy Options,
provided by the Brendle Group for the City of Fort Collins.

• City of Breckenridge has adopted disposable bag fees for all retailers
• City of Boulder has applied bag fees to all grocery stores
• State of Hawaii has banned plastic bags
An interactive map provided by Chico Bags tracks communities where bag measures have
been implemented, proposed, or failed.
HEALTH CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH REUSABLE BAGS
Opponents to bag bans have raised health concerns about the reusable bags that would
replace the banned disposable bags. One study showed that of 84 randomly collected bags,
12% of them contained harmful bacteria. This bacterial buildup was largely due to the fact that
97°/o the consumers had admitted to simply not cleaning their bags after previous usage.""
Communities with bag bans typically accompany any new laws with education on proper
washing and storage of reusable bags, and include exceptions for raw meat and seafood
transport in disposable plastic bags.

EXE�UTIVE SUI�I�ARY
At the request of City 5taff, and resulting from the dire�tion of City Coun�il, Brendle Group �ondu�ted a
triple bottom line — e�onomi�, en�ironmental, and �ommunity — e�aluation of a range of plasti� bag
poli�y options suggested by 5taff. For the most part, this e�aluation draws on the resear�h and work
already �ompleted by other �ommunities that ha�e de�eloped and implemented bag poli�ies whi�h
in�lude 29 states and 80 �ommunities nationwide and in Canada.' Howe�er it does in�lude original
resear�h where feasible gi�en the preliminary nature of the poli�y �onsideration and timeframe to
�omplete. This e�aluation is a first-step to begin dialogue with the �ommunity and City Coun�il and to
inform poli�y design should the �ity �hoose to pro�eed. Future steps �ould in�lude more original
resear�h and analysis for implementation in Fort Collins.
The e�aluation was �onducted on two le�els. The first le�el �onsiders the general TBL impacts of
redu�ing the �onsumption of single-use plasti� bags. These impacts would be shared by any poli�y
s�enario that a�hie�ed this aim. The se�ond le�el �onsiders the spe�ifi� impa�ts and effe�ti�eness of
four proposed poli�y s�enarios for a�hie�ing this aim.
The first le�el e�aluation identified the potential strengths of redu�ing single-use plasti� bags to be
redu�ed life �y�le impa�ts (assuming the poli�y doesn't turn �onsumers to a different type of single-use
bagj, less stray litter, impro�ed �ommunity aestheti�s, redu�ed solid waste management �osts,
en�ouraging a mindset of reuse in the �ommunity, supporting the City's solid waste di�ersion and GHG
redu�tion goals, and enhan�ing the per�eption of Fort Collins as a sustainable �ommunity. The potential
weaknesses are the �ost to implement a program and less a�ailability of single-use plasti� bags for
�ommon se�ond uses su�h as trash �an lining and pi�king up pet waste. The �ost to implement the
program would depend on program design, but �ould ha�e �ost impa�ts to retailers, �ity operations,
and�or residents.
The se�ond le�el e�aluation �onsidered the �ommunity, en�ironmental, and e�onomi� strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for ea�h of four poli�y options re�iewed. A summary
�omparison of the poli�y options based on the triple bottom line impa�ts for indi�idual poli�y s�enarios
is presented in Table 1.

The Fort Collins City Coun�il has requested that City 5taff �onsider poli�y options for single-use plasti�
bags in the �ommunity. At the request of City 5taff, Brendle Group �ondu�ted a triple bottom line —
e�onomi�, en�ironmental, and �ommunity — e�aluation of a range of poli�y options suggested by 5taff.
This report �on�eys the results of this e�aluation.
Though City Coun�il has not indi�ated the spe�ifi� moti�ations for �onsidering a plasti� bag poli�y, there
are a number of potential benefits, both lo�ally and globally, from redu�ing �onsumption of single-use
plasti� bags that �ould moti�ate a�tion on a poli�y. These impa�ts in�lude, but are not limited to:
• Introdu�ing alternati�es to single-use plasti� bags as a way of en�ouraging the �ommunityto redu�e
the use of disposable, single-use items in fa�or of reusable alternati�es. This re�ognizes, for
example, the U.S. En�ironmental Protection Agen�y's resour�e �onser�ation hierar�hy of Redu�e—
Reuse — Re�y�le.
• Redu�ing "life-�y�le" impa�ts - whi�h in�lude impacts from material extraction to production and
disposal - of plasti� bag use bytransitioningto a bagtype that has lower life-�y�le impa�ts.
• Redu�ing stray litter in the �ommunity, and globally, in�luding plasti� bags in trees and waterways.
• 5upportingthe City's waste di�ersion and greenhouse gas (GHGj reduction goals.
• Redu�ing �osts for pro�essing re�y�ling at the regional materials re�o�eryfa�ility (MRFj.
• Redu�ing �osts for �leaning up plasti� bags at the Larimer County Landfill and other publi� areas.

APPR�A�H
sou�cEs
To maximize the effi�ien�y of this e�aluation, 5taff re�ognized that many �ommunities ha�e already
de�eloped and implemented plasti� bag poli�ies. As a result, City 5taff dire�ted Brendle Group to fo�us
its efforts on e�aluating the resear�h and work already �ompleted by these other �ommunities. As
su�h, this e�aluation is based primarily on the resear�h and poli�y analysis already �ompleted by these
other �ommunities. Brendle Group did �ondu�t some analysis spe�ifi� to Fort Collins where feasible. This
e�aluation also identifies other areas where additional study is re�ommended.
The resear�h and poli�y analysis �ondu�ted by the City of Boulder between May and O�tober 2012 to
inform their �ommunity's adoption of a plasti� and paper bag fee is �ited frequently in this e�aluation.
As a �ommunity that is similar to Fort Collins in a number of respects (e.g. lo�ation, size, et�.j the work
done bythe City of Boulder, whi�h is �onsidered thorough, is likelyto be a reasonably good proxyforthe
City of Fort Collins. The City of Boulder also �ondu�ted a publi� pro�ess in de�eloping their poli�y.
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE EVALLJATION
Brendle Group �ompleted a triple bottom line (TBLj e�aluation of poli�y options on two le�els. The first
le�el �onsiders the general TBL impa�ts of redu�ing the �onsumption of single-use plasti� bags. These
impacts would be shared by any poli�y s�enario that a�hie�ed this aim. The se�ond le�el �onsiders the
spe�ifi� impa�ts and effecti�eness of four proposed poli�y s�enarios for a�hie�ing this aim.
STAKEHOLDER REVIEW AND INPLJT
The time and resour�es allo�ated to this preliminary �onsideration did not allow for the gathering of
broad stakeholder input on the general poli�y aim of redu�ing plasti� bag �onsumption, nor the
indi�idual poli�y options presented herein. A broader �ommunity questionnaire is being de�eloped by
City 5taff at the time of this publi�ation.
The following City staff members were �onsulted about plasti� bag poli�y and poli�y implementation:
• Josh Birks, E�onomi� Health ❑ire�tor
• Lucinda 5mith, En�ironmental5er�ices director
• Joe Frank, 5o�ial5ustainability director

A similar estimate was attempted for Fort Collins based on the most re�ent waste �omposition study
from the Larimer County Landfill."' lJnfortunately, the waste sorting �ategory in the study that in�ludes
disposable plasti� bags also in�ludes standard household trash bags. As su�h, this is an o�erestimate of
the number of single-use plasti� bags per �apita at 1,440.
Boulder's per �apita estimate of 34Z disposable bags per �apita per year, of whi�h about 88 per�ent or
301 bags��apita�year are plasti�, is applied as a proxy forthe City of Fort Collins.
Many retailers in Fort Collins offer the �hoi�e of single-use paper or plasti� bags and make re-usable
bags for sale at the point of �he�k-out. Ex�eptions in�lude Whole Foods, whi�h does not offer plasti�
bags and Vitamin Cottage, whi�h does not offer any single-use bags. The sour�es of disposable bags, as
used in the analyses �ompleted by 5eattle, 5an Jose, and Boulder, are portrayed in Figure 1. As
indi�ated, the majority of disposable bags (50 per�entj are generated by supermarkets.

The re�y�ling rate for single-use plasti� bags is less than 5 per�ent nationally." The City of Boulder
estimated their �ommunity's re�y�ling rate to be ZO to Z4 per�ent." There is insuffi�ient data on plasti�
bag �onsumption and re�y�ling quantities to estimate a re�y�ling rate for the City of Fort Collins. In
forth�oming outrea�h to retailers, City 5taff will be requesting data on plasti� bag �onsumption and
re�y�ling so thatthe rate �an be estimated.

There are o�er 19 retail drop-off sites for re�y�ling single-use plasti� bags in Fort Collins. These in�lude
most major supermarkets and other large retailers that sell food. Many of these bags are re�y�led into
lands�aping and �omposite lumber produ�ts su�h as de�king material.

The estimated effe�ti�eness of a range of poli�y types, from maintaining the status quo to edu�ation
only to an outright ban is shown in Table 4. As indi�ated, edu�ation programs alone are estimated to
result in minimal �hange of �onsumer use of disposable bags, while fees and bans result in more

TBL EVALUATIDN: GENERAL POLIGY AIM OF REDUGING
��NSUI�PTI�N �F SINGLE-USE PLASTI� BAGS
This section in�ludes a dis�ussion of the estimated TBL impacts of the general poli�y of redu�ing
�onsumption of single-use plasti� bags. Other than the "no a�tion" or status quo option, these impacts
would be shared by all of the poli�y options presented in the next se�tion; some may inform the design
of those poli�y options as noted.
STRENGTHS
Life Cycle Impacts
If single-use plasti� bags are to be �onsumed less it will be ne�essary for some other type of bag to take
their pla�e. Three life-�y�le analysis (LCAj studies of the impa�ts of �arious types of bags were re�iewed
to understand the en�ironmental impa�ts of these �hoi�es in the �ommunity and globally. There are
two signifi�ant �on�lusions made by ea�h of these studies:
1. The LCA impacts of single-use bags made from other materials su�h as paper or �ompostable plasti�s
�an be equal to or largerthan that of single-use plasti� bags."',"" For paper bags made from 30
per�ent re�y�led fiber, this in�luded greatertotal energy usage, fossil fuel use, muni�ipal solid waste
generation, GHG emissions, and fresh water usage �ompared to plasti� bags.
2. Reusable bags made from �ottons or non-wo�en plasti� ha�e lower LCA impacts a�ross these
categories than any single-use bag (assuming the bag is used manytimes, in this study it was
assumed at least 1 trip per week fortwo yearsj.""' Reusable plasti� bags ha�e lower life-�y�le impacts
than �otton bags be�ause of the water �onsumption required to grow�otton.
These studies indi�ate that redu�ed LCA impa�ts �an be �onsidered a strength of a poli�y that aims to
redu�e �onsumption of single-use plasti� bags as long as substitution with other types of single-use bags
doesn't o��ur. In other words, a plasti� bag poli�y with the intent of redu�ing life-�y�le impa�ts should
be designed so that �onsumers are not en�ouraged to use paper bags instead.
5anta Moni�a, CA sought to enhan�e the LCA benefits of reusable bags by sour�ing them lo�ally to
redu�e the impa�ts from the fuel needed to transport them long distan�es. There are a number of
manufa�turers of reusable bags in the western 1J.5., in�luding two in the den�er area, that �ould make
regional sour�ing feasible for Fort Collins (see Appendix Aj. 5ome are boutique bags that are more
expensi�e �ompared to more standard reusable bags.
5tray Litter and Aesthetic Impacts
5ingle-use plasti� bags, parti�ularly be�ause oftheir weight and aerodynami� �haracteristi�s, �an readily
be�ome litter e�en when they are disposed of properly. A��ording to a study of litter �omposition on
Ameri�a's roadways, plasti�s in general make up 19.3 per�ent of �ounted items."` A se�ond study found
that plasti� bags in parti�ular a��ounted for 1.Z per�ent of large litter items while plasti� film materials,
including ripped or shredded bags, accounted for 8.7 percent of small litter items."
The �ost of litter �leanup (not spe�ifi� to plasti�s or plasti� bagsj nationwide was proje�ted to be $11.5
billion in Z009. Properry �alues were projected to be 7 per�ent lower in �ommunities with litter."` The
CITY OF FORT COLLINS � TPoPLE BOTTOM LIN����f�,TION OF PLASTIC BAG POLICV OPTIDNS � BRENOLE GRDUP � 9
bren�le
City of Boulder estimated the �ost of street sweeping related to plasti� bags - based on estimates by 5an
Jose, CA, 5eattle, WA, and Austin, TX -to be between $Z0,000 and $65,000 peryear."
No studies were found dire�tly linking a single-use plasti� bag reduction poli�y with redu�ed litter on
land. Howe�er, Washington d.C. has seen a redu�tion in bags re�o�ered from the Ana�ostia Ri�er by as
mu�h as 50 per�ent."' Litter redu�tion was frequently stated as justifi�ation for poli�ies in other
�ommunities espe�ially for �oastal states where plasti� bags represent a spe�ial problem when they are
washed out to sea.
5olid Waste Management Costs
Plasti� bags �reate issues for operators of landfills and materials re�o�ery fa�ilities (MRFs, i.e. re�y�ling
fa�ilitiesj that in�rease solid waste management �osts for the �ommunity. For example, the Larimer
County Landfill has spent o�er $Z1,000 in ea�h of the last two years (and $35,000 is budgeted in Z013j
on site clean-up. About half of that cost is attributed to plastic bags, although not all of these bags ha�e
their origin as single-use bags from retailers."" The regional MRF, operated by Waste Management, also
in�urs �osts to address plasti� bag �ontamination in the re�y�led material stream. These �osts in�lude
�leaning s�reens, sorting, ma�hine repairs, and disposal of separated bags. Waste Management does not
track cost specifically associated with plastic bag issues but estimates that at least two hours of each
day's four hours of down time are spent remo�ing plasti� bags from the system.""' E�o-Cy�le, an
organization supporting re�y�ling efforts in the City of Boulder, estimated the total �ost of plasti� bag
�ontamination to Boulder's MRF to be between $Z00,000 and $5Z4,000 peryear."
Reuse Mindset
En�ouraging or requiring �onsumers to use reusable shopping bags �ould be a"gateway" to other
�onsumer �hoi�es that �an benefit the en�ironment, �ommunity, and e�onomy. Along with re�y�ling,
drinking tap water o�er bottled water, buying local food, adjusting thermostats, and other related
a�tions, using reusable bags is a relati�ely easy and low-�ost practi�e for �onsumers to adopt. It has
been suggested by proponents of bag poli�y in other �ommunities that pro�iding �onsumers options like
these �an expand awareness and engagement and lead to other similar �onsumer �hoi�es. This
transformation �ould lead to in�reased �itizen parti�ipation in a number of the a�ti�ities identified in the
City's Climate A�tion Plan, for example, su�h as energy effi�ien�y programs, re�y�ling programs, and
alternati�e transportation. In parti�ular, adopting a reusable bag poli�y may en�ourage a�tion to redu�e
�onsumption of other disposable goods. despite this spe�ulated link between �onsumer �hoi�es on
bags and other �hoi�es, no resear�h was identified for this report that dire�tly demonstrated the link
between reusable bag poli�y and the adoption of other a�tions.
Cit}%s Waste bi►►ersion and GHG Reduction Goals
The City of Fort Collins adopted a resolution in 1999 to rea�h a solid waste di�ersion goal of 50 per�ent
by Z010. In Z010, the �ommunity-wide di�ersion rate was estimated to be 43 per�ent. lJsing the per
�apita rate of plasti� bag �onsumption from Boulder (301��apita�yearj and an estimated �urrent
re�y�ling rate for plasti� bags in Fort Collins of ZO per�ent," this would represent about ZZO tons of
landfilled plasti� bags per year, or about O.Z per�ent by weight of the City's total landfilled waste.
Therefore, redu�ing the quantity of plasti� bags in the waste stream would impro�e the City's di�ersion
rate, but by almost negligible amounts. The �ontribution to the City's GHG redu�tion goals would be
similarly negligible.

Perception of Fort Collins as a 5ustaina6le Community
For �isitors and residents of a �ommunity, �ertain features are hallmarks of a sustainable �ommunity.
Today, the pre�alen�e of re�y�ling bins in Fort Collins and the breadth of materials that are a��epted for
re�y�ling are �isible signs of the �ity's �ommitment to sustainability. As more �ommunities throughout
the nation adopt poli�ies with respe�t to disposable bag use, this may be�ome a more re�ognized and
highly �isible indi�ator of a �ommunity's sustainability �ommitment.
WEAKNE55E5
Cost to Local Retailers
Depending on the parti�ular bag poli�y implemented, lo�al retailers �ould fa�e additional �osts, or they
may realize sa�ings. The impacts on �osts for lo�al retailers will relate to the pur�hase of disposable bags
themsel�es, to operational �hanges related to sales systems and employee training, and to the business
impacts that may result from a bag poli�y. To understand the e�onomi� impacts of a potential poli�y,
City 5taff are �oordinating with the City's E�onomi� Health offi�e and will in�lude e�onomi� impacts in a
�ommunity questionnaire planned forfuture distribution.
A policy that reduces disposable bag consumption will reduce the direct cost to retailers for purchasing
bags. If the poli�y dis�ourages plasti� bags in fa�or of paper, howe�er, �osts �ould in�rease be�ause
paper bags are more expensi�e than plasti� bags.
To accommodate a fee�ban policy, retailers will ha�e to in�est in additional training for staff to be able
to explain the poli�y to �ustomers and handle �ustomer intera�tion on the topi�. A fee system would
also likely require in�estment in a tra�king system or modifi�ations to the point-of-sale system for the
fee to be implemented. Most fee-based poli�ies adopted by other �ommunities dire�t a portion of the
fee to the retailerto co�erthese costs.
A �ommon �on�ern with bag poli�y is that it will dri�e �onsumers to shop outside of the area impa�ted
by the poli�y. At least one survey has shown that there �ould be su�h a negati�e impa�t asso�iated with
plastic bag bans.""' That sur�ey, howe�er, was industry-funded and only had a 3 percent response rate.""
When surveyed in the past, the majority of Fort Collins residents ha�e expressed support for a personal
obligation to en�ironmental issues (air quality and redu�ing GHG emissionsj and support for go�ernment
intervention to address these issues. ""' Residents ha�e also shown a �ommitment to quality of life in
Fort Collins through the passage of the Keep Fort Collins Great sales tax. If residents feel similarly about
the en�ironmental impa�ts of disposable bags, they may not be �ompelled to �hange their shopping
lo�ations in response to a poli�y. Furthermore, it will likely be more �ostly to the �onsumer in fuel and
time to take their business elsewhere. For example, a �ustomerthat would pur�hase 10 disposable bags
in a shopping trip would ha�e to tra�el less than 3 miles to an alternati�e store to sa�e money by taking
their business out of the poli�y area (assumes no �ost of tra�el time, $0.05 per bag fee rate, typi�al fuel
e�onomy and the �urrent �ost of gasj. It is unlikely that a �onsumer will find an alternati�e store that
isn't part of the poli�y within 3 miles.
5econd Uses of 5ingle-Use Plastic Bags
Many �onsumers find se�ondary uses for single-use plasti� bags, besides re�y�ling, in�luding as lun�h
bags, small trash bags, and to pi�k up pet waste. No resear�h was found do�umenting the impa�t of
plasti� bag poli�ies on these se�ondary uses, but it is possible that �onsumers would pur�hase more
plasti� bags for se�ondary uses if their sour�es were limited by plasti� bag poli�y. If, howe�er, the plasti�
bag poli�y only addresses a portion of the sour�es (e.g. food storesj, as has been done in many
CITVOF FORT COLLINS � TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE �I7�I�i��TION OF PLASTIC BAG POLICV OPTIDNS � BRENOLE GRDUP � 11
bren�.le
�ommunities, there may be suffi�ient bags remaining in �ir�ulation to deterthe need for pur�hasing new
bags. Reusable bags �an also fill some of the se�ond use roles.
Reusa6le Bags and Health
A study funded by the Ameri�an Chemistry Coun�il found that more than one-half of the reusable bags
tested �ontained some form of �oliform bacteria. Howe�er, few of the ba�teria found pose a signifi�ant
health risk, and the primary �on�lusion of the study was that �onsumers should be edu�ated on keeping
their bags �lean."""
P�LI��( DESIGN �G�NSIDERATI�NS AND SCENARI�3S
SECTORS AND RETAILERS INCLIJDED
Most of the �ommunities implementing plasti� bag poli�ies to date ha�e either applied them globally to
all retailers or limited them to the food store�supermarket se�tor. Those limiting it to the food store
sector cite a more manageable scope for administration, applying the policy only to the most significant
sour�e of disposable bags with a desire to not impa�t smaller boutique retailers as justifi�ation for the
se�tor-spe�ifi� poli�y.
5hould the City pursue a sector-specific policy, it is recommended that options be considered for
in�ol�ing additional sectors in a phased approa�h so that the poli�y is fairly applied to all retailers """'
In Fort Collins, the approximate breakdown of establishments by se�to�"" are:
• Gro�ery 5tores: Z3
• Restaurants: 461 restaurants and 8 �aterers (bars are in�luded be�ause they serve foodj
• General Mer�handise: Z5 (some are more gro�ery based than othersj

The City of Boulder �ommissioned a study of �osts and number of bags impa�ted to establish their bag
fee at $0.199�bag."" The s�ope of �osts re�o�ered in�luded:
• City administration of bag fee program: $0.146�bag
• Other publi� �osts at solid waste management fa�ilities: $0.008�bag
• Retailer implementation of program: $0.044�bag
• Externalities (GHG emissions and water infrastructurej: $0.001�bag
It is re�ommended that the City of Fort Collins undertake a similar study to establish the fee, if that is
the sele�ted poli�y s�enario.
LJ5E5 OF GENERATED REVENLJE
The City of Boulder identified the following uses of the re�enue generated by theirfee:
• de�elopingand administeringthe policy
• Pro�iding reusable bags (or mitigating feesj for low-in�ome households
• Edu�ation, outrea�h, and ad�ertising

• Pur�hase of �arbon offsets forthe GHG emissions asso�iated with bags and funding of bag �lean-up

SCENARI05
The following pages des�ribe and e�aluate four s�enarios for a plasti� bag poli�y in�luding:
1. No action
Z. Fee on plasti� and paper bags
3. Ban on plasti� and paper bags
4. Edu�ation �ampaign only
Many communities ha�e adopted a policy that bans plastic and imposes a fee on paper bags (see Table
3j. Considering that the life-�y�le en�ironmental impa�ts of paper bags are equal to or greater than
plasti� bags, paper bags are more �ostly for retailers, and a hybrid ban�fee is more diffi�ult to
implement, this s�enario was not �onsidered in this analysis.

bren�.le
No Action
Under this s�enario, the City would take no a�tion to address the �onsumption of single-use plasti� (or
paperj bags. This would mean that no additional City staffing or resour�es would be required to de�elop
a new program or enfor�ement me�hanism. In the �ommunity, �onsumers would still ha�e the �hoi�e to
sele�t plasti� or paper bags, or to use reusable bags as they �hoose. Retailers would not be required to
institute any new programs.
This option would not address the ongoing impa�ts of disposable bags to solid waste management
operations or the �ommunity. The City and Larimer County �urrently allo�ate staff time and spend
funds from their operational budgets to control litter from disposable bags. A regional waste
management firm �urrently goes to �onsiderable effort to remo�e plasti� bags from its re�y�ling sorting
infrastru�ture, whi�h regularly is �logged by su�h bags. From an en�ironmental perspecti�e, this option
does not address the "upstream" GHG emissions, energy, or water needed to produ�e disposable bags,
northe other impacts of disposables on the en�ironment.

Fee on Plastic and Paper Bags
By imposing fees on plasti� or paper bags at the point of sale, this option seeks to redu�e �onsumption
of disposable bags. Examples of implementation of fee-based approa�hes in other �ommunities ha�e
demonstrated the ability to signifi�antly redu�e �onsumption — depending on the amount of the fee.
This �an help redu�e impa�ts of disposable bags on the en�ironment and �ommunity, as well as redu�e
the impa�t on operations asso�iated with litter �ontrol and re�y�ling infrastru�ture. A fee-based
structure also allows both the City and retailers to offset in�reased �osts for program administration
with an additional funding sour�e. By not banning any bag option outright, �onsumer �hoi�e is also
maintained.
While fee-based programs �an help redu�e �onsumption of disposable bags, �ase studies in other
�ommunities show thatthey are not as effecti�e in sour�e reduction �ompared to outright bans and may
not ha�e as signifi�ant an effe�t on �onsumer beha�ior �hange. 5u�h a program would also require the
City and retailers to establish systems to administer and collect fees, which would probably operate in
�onjun�tion with �olle�ting and remitting sales tax.
It has also been noted that fees ha�e a larger impa�t on lower-in�ome households be�ause the fee will
represent a larger percentage of their income """' Assuming 34Z disposable bags per capita and a fee of
$0. 05 per bag would result in a �onsumer �ost of up to $17 per �apita ea�h year. It is re�ommended
that the City �onsider the �ost of pro�iding reusable bags or a me�hanism that mitigates fees for lower-
in�ome households in the design of a poli�y.
Fees in other �ommunities ha�e resulted in litigation, usually by anti-tax groups that seek to �lassify the
fee as a tax. Aspen is �urrently in�ol�ed in su�h litigation.""'

Ban on Plastic and Paper Bags
By banning disposable bags, whether in a spe�ifi� retail se�tor or a�ross all retailers, this option seeks a
maximum effect in redu�ing �onsumption of disposable bags. This �an help maximize the redu�tion of
impacts of disposable bags on the en�ironment and �ommunity, as well as redu�e the impact on City
and County solid waste management operations asso�iated with litter �ontrol and re�y�ling
infrastru�ture. Relati�e to other options that in�ol�e the �olle�tion of fees, this option would likely be
more straightforward for the City to administer. From the perspe�ti�e of the retailer, not ha�ing to
pro�ide bags at all would redu�e their �osts for pro�iding disposable bags.
This option would place the greatest restrictions on the consumer by requiring them to pro�ide their
own bags. 5ome in the �ommunity may see this as a limitation of �onsumer �hoi�e and may oppose it,
and it is not the preferred option of major traditional retailers. It is possible that �onsumers may �hoose
to shop elsewhere outside of Fort Collins, or that retailers �ould �hoose to lo�ate in nearby adja�ent
communities. This option also offers no re�enue source to offset costs of enforcement and education as
fee-based options do. The City, howe�er, �ould seek redire�tion of the operational sa�ings identified in
global triple bottom line e�aluation to edu�ation (e.g., County �ontributes some per�ent of its Z013
budget for �lean-upj.
Like a fee, this poli�y s�enario also has a larger impa�t on lower-in�ome households be�ause the ban will
require households to pur�hase reusable bags and that �ost will represent a larger per�entage of their
in�ome.
It should be noted that there is a pre�edent for banning �ertain items from the landfill in the City's
existing ban on disposing of ele�troni�s in the waste stream. Howe�er, bans in other �ommunities ha�e
resulted in numerous instan�es of litigation by the plasti� and �hemi�al industries."""

Education Campaign �nly
With an edu�ation-only �ampaign, the City would largely rely on �oluntary �ommunity efforts to redu�e
the use of disposable bags and to in�rease awareness whi�h �an translate to action. 5u�h an approa�h
would en�ounter little opposition from retailers or the general publi�. It would not require retailers to
take any additional action, other than perhaps to parti�ipate in edu�ation �ampaigns. One example of
an edu�ational effort would be to supply retailers with parking lot signs that remind �ustomers to bring
their reusable bags into the store with them: "don't forgetyour bags."
While edu�ation is a non-�ontro�ersial and familiar approa�h for the City, it alone is not expe�ted to
achie�e the significant beha�ior change or community outcomes associated with either bans or fee-
based approa�hes. This option also offers no alternati�e re�enue stream as would be the �ase with a
fee-based approa�h.
In addition to education on reducing the use of disposable bags, education can also be tied to existing
efforts to en�ourage disposable bag re�y�ling forthose that are �onsumed.

IVlemorandum
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: April 16, 2013
SUBJECT: Community Wide Recycling Ordinance — Process Update
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update on activities related to the Vail
Community-Wide Recycling ordinance.
II. BACKGROUND
Vail Town Council Waste Diversion Goa/
Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan Waste Diversion Goal (adopted January,
2009): Reduce the amount of Town of Vail landfill contributions by 10% within 5 years
(2013) and 25% wifhin 10 years (2019).
At the conclusion of the work session held April 2, 2013, the Vail Town Council directed Staff to
continue to move forward with a process to create a Community Wide Recycling ordinance in
order to facilitate commercial and residential recycling.
III. OUTREACH PLAN
In order to achieve a successful recycling plan in all facets of the community, Staff is
undertaking the following:
1) Presentation/feedback gathering sessions at the following community groups:
a. Vail Rotary Club
b. Vail Economic Advisory Council
c. Vail Marketing Board
d. Target Homeowners Associations
2) Developing a marketing/education brochure with a targeted campaign for
homeowners, large and small businesses (divided by restaurant, hotel, etc.).
3) Organizing a community open house "LeYs Talk Trash" event where Staff and
"Recycling Ambassadors" will be available to answer questions and collect feedback.
4) Developing an ad campaign similar to the "Get a Better Can" campaign initiatied
during the wildlife protection ordinance.
5) Holding meetings with additional members of Vail Resorts and the Eagle County
Landfill to ensure that these major stakeholders continue to be part of drafting the
final ordinance recommendations.
IV. SINGLE STREAM vs. DUAL STREAM
Single Stream recycling (all recyclables in one bin) can be credited for increasing recycling
volumes by 25-30% or more, as in Pike Cf��k+'Ad� in Charlotte. In addition, single stream
recycling allows for paperboard and cardboard to be recycled at the curb in one bin, and a
consistent, simple educationa► message to the community. However, regulations are the most
influential aspect of increasing recycling. In a study by Container Recycling Institute,
Understandinq Economic and Environmental Impacts of Sinqle-Stream Collection
Svstems, economic and environmental costs can outweigh a dual stream system. Most studies
that compare Dual with Single Stream have a narrow data range, do not include many MRFs,
and are dependent on other factors such as collection methods, education, and accompanying
policies such as Save As You Recycle. According to this Minnesota Studv , contamination can
go up with single stream, but not all single-stream MRFs are created equal, and some paper
mills receive exceptionally high-quality fiber from some of the single-stream MRFs. Information
on the City of Boulder's decision to upgrade to a Single Stream MRF is found here.
V. IMPACTS TO THE EAGLE COUNTY MRF
While convenient, Single Stream recycling is not without impacts to the Eagle County Materials
Recovery Facility (MRF), which now functions as a"Dual Stream" facility, accepting cardboard
separate from paper, separate from commingled material. According to Jesse Masten, MRF
and Landfill Manager, the following considerations are important components of the decision to
upgrade a facility from Dual to Single Stream processing.
Costs of Upgrade
• Total costs are between $2.5 and $3 million
o Larger building = $1 million
o Equipment = $1.2 million
■ New feed belt for incoming materials
■ Cardboard separator
■ Paper screen
o Additional employees (estimate 3 FTE, if not inmates, $30,000/yr)
Contamination
• 50% of the MRF's recyclable materials by weight is glass. Single stream allows
for contamination of the paper stream with chards of glass. In addition, shredded
bits of paper mixed with glass is a contaminate for the glass stream.
• The "residue rate" or material that ends up being too contaminated to be recycled
can increase by up to 20% with single stream recycling due to extra garbage
being thrown in the bin, saturated paper or cardboard, etc.
Lost Revenue Potential
• End-market buyers of bailed recyclable materials prefer cleaner material.
Therefore, if single stream leads to contaminated bails, revenue may decrease
by up to 10%.
If the Town of Vail were to initiate a Single Stream requirement, the Eagle County MRF would
likely see an estimated 5-10% loss in material, equating to up to $60,000 per year in revenue.
The MRF currently operates on a break-even budget of $600,000, meaning operational costs
and revenue from sold recyclable material is about even.
Other Considerations
• If Eagle County does not upgrade to a Single Stream facility, Vail's recyclables
will be transported to Denver or Silverthorne in a loose load, increasing their
carbon footprint. However, note that buyers of recyclable material are located all
over the country, and bails of recyclable material are currently transported from
the Eagle County MRF via semi truck to California, Denver, Wheat Ridge,
Nebraska, Alabama, and Chicago.
• If Eagle County were to upgrade to a Single Stream facility, an increase of at
least 50°/o (estimate) of recyclable material would be needed to make economic
sense without additional community partners contributing to the cost of the
upgrade.
Town of Vail 4/16/2013 Page 2

• Eagle County Staff recommendations are to remain a Dual Stream facility for
now.
CONTRUCTION WASTE RECYCLING
The 2010 Eagle County Waste Composition Study included a visual assessment of construction
waste present, estimated at roughly 195 total cubic yards. The figure below is a breakdown of
percentages of materials that made up the 195 cubic yards.

The Eagle County Landfill will only accept and separate clean, untreated wood, and does not
currently have an outlet for other construction materials. However, several measures may be
taken to ensure the highest level of recycling/reuse at construction sites:
• Mandatory deconstruction (the Wendy's restaurant in West Vail was
deconstructed for a contract of $35,000). Reusable equipment, furniture, doors,
windows, etc. are donated.
• Mandatory on-site recycling — cardboard, commingled materials, metal, glass.
Contractors may be required to have three bins on site and arrange for pickup as
part of the building permit.
• There are drywall recycling facilities in Denver, materials may be mandated to be
recycled. Transportation may be cost prohibitive.
VII. NEXT STEPS
Staff is implementing the outreach plan described in Section II of this memorandum, and is
drafting ordinance language for recommendation for a Town Council work session in the near
future.

Project: Clock Tower View Corridor Enhancement Study
Design Review Board Application
August 3, 2011
Applicant: Town of Vail
Project Description:
The maturing aspen trees located to the west of the north end of the Covered Bridge
have increased in height to the point where they are blocking the view of the Clock
Tower from the designated view corridor point as well as the overlook area south of the
entrance to the Ski Museum. Town Council has directed staff to create a proposal to
open up the view of the Clock Tower. The proposal is as follows.
View Enhancement Proposal:
The view looking south from the Village Parking Structure is one of the defining images
of Vail. It is much photographed and painted and is identified around the world as
symbolizing Vail Mountain and the town of Vail. The proposal begins by breaking down
the components of this iconic view. Viewed from the Village Parking Structure the Clock
Tower is the primary focal point. It is a monumental element rising higher than the
surrounding buildings with Vail Mountain as the back drop. As the viewer moves down
from the structure the view changes. The Clock Tower begins to be obscured by the
trees and the focal point of the view becomes the Covered Bridge.
The aspen trees to the west of the north end of the Covered Bridge have both a
negative and positive influence on the sequence of views experienced by those entering
the Vail Village over the Covered Bridge. The height of the aspen trees negatively
influences the view from the Village Parking Structure by blocking the view of the Clock
Tower. Obviously, this is a summer time only condition. The presence of the aspen
tree branches and leaves have a positive influence on the "post card" image of the
Covered Bridge by framing the view and creating balance in the image. This is a year-
round condition which changes slightly summer to winter. The aspen trees also
positively influence the view of the Covered Bridge by blocking some of the view of
Bridge Street and the buildings immediately south of the bridge. The scene beyond the
bridge, if not partially screened by the leaves and branches, would create a busy, less
organized image of the Covered Bridge. It is notevuorthy to point out that the designer
4/ 16/2013
of the Vail Village, Eldon Beck, intentionally screened the view of Bridge Street from
Slifer Square. The intention was to have Bridge Street revealed to the visitor upon
exiting the Covered Bridge. The slight left hand curve of the street then pulls the visitor
up the street to see what lies beyond the immediate field of view.
The proposal seeks to remove the negative influences affecting the view of the Clock
Tower while retaining the positive influences the leaves and branches have on view of
the Covered Bridge. Multiple options were explored before arriving at the proposal.
The first option explored was to do nothing. Allow the trees to continue to mature and,
in several years, remove and replant them as they decline in health and vigor. This
option does nothing to eliminate the winter season, negative influences of the tree on
the view or and fails to enhance and retain the desired iconic image.
The second option explored was to remove only one aspen tree (3rd tree to the right of
the bridge) to partially open up the view of the Clock Tower from the designated view
point and the Ski Museum overlook. This option only partially resolved the negative
influence and would be short lived as the trees continued to grow.
The third option, which is the proposal, eliminates the negative influences on the Clock
Tower view and enhances the positive influence that leaves and branches have on the
view of the Covered Bridge. The proposal includes the removal of 7 aspen trunks, of
which 3 are the original planting and 4 are off shoots of the root system. In addition, 5
to 6 shrubs would be removed to allow removal of the root systems of the aspen trees.
The existing Vail map would be removed and the boulder holding the Dobson Plaque
would be shifted closer to the pedestrian pavement. In place of the aspen trees, a
single Spring Snow Crabapple tree would be planted. In place of the shrubs, several
flowering shrub roses, and spreading juniper bushes would be planted to fill out the
planting bed and provide some screening of the view across the creek. The Spring
Snow Crabapple was selected for it's arching form, spring profusion of white blossoms,
and non-fruiting characteristic. Visitors to Vail (and all us locals) who visit during the
right weeks in June would be treated to a spectacular image with the white blossoms
framing the entry to the bridge and contrasting against the dark stained wood. Staff
would seek out the largest Spring Snow Crabapple that could be obtained to create as
much immediate positive impact as possible.
With an approval of the proposal from the DRB and the Town Council, staff is prepared
to complete the work immediately after the Labor Day holiday. The cost t of
implementing the proposal is projected to be less than $10,000.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Ford Park User Group
FROM: Pamela Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager
RE: 2013 Ford Park Paid Parking Calendar and Events
DATE: April 11, 2013
The summer 2013 Paid/Managed Parking Calendar Schedule for Ford Park is attached. This
calendar has been compiled with the input from all of the Ford Park User Committee members.
There are currently thirty seven days of paid parking dates and two managed parking dates.
The West Parking Lot and Athletic Field Parking Lot will be closed for one day for Trans
Rockies camping. All Ford Park Parking lots will be closed for public use four days Wednesday
morning August 21 st through Saturday morning August 24`" for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
Also, please be aware that beginning Tuesday, September 3, 2013, the Ford Park athletic fields
will begin construction.
This calendar is subject to change as more events are added to the various schedules of the user
groups at Ford Park. Please continue to send me any changes, additions or deletions so I can
keep updating the master calendar as the summer goes by.
Thanks for your help and I look forward to continued updates from each user group as soon as
you have a new event, cancelled event, date change of an event or if an additional paid parking
date is necessary.
Let me know if you have any questions!

1. Administrative Items
a. Approval of the Minutes of the CSE Meeting of March 6, 2013
➢ Motion to approve the Minutes of the meeting of March 6, 2013, as presented.
M/S/P: Bank/Chapin/Unanimous
b. Confirm quorum for May 1 CSE Meeting: Dave Chapin — no, all others confirmed*
c. Navas informed the group that there is no money available for any additional special
event funding in 2013, and many contracts are beginning to be paid out. The current
Financial Spreadsheet will be posted to the Laserfiche site, under Agendas and Support
Documentation for the April 3, 2013 meeting.
d. Final RRC survey report/update on progress of 2013 attendance research:
McDonald reported that survey data for the full year of 2012 has been finalized. Holidaze
came in 2"d daily per capita in average daily spending per person, but noted that it take
place during the highest spending time of year.
She then reported that the 2013 Special Event Attendance Survey is underway, and will
include all of the publicly funded events. The following events, which were either not
CSE/Meeting Minutes April 3, 2013 Page 1 of 7
4/ 16/2013
surveyed last year, or are first year events in 2013, will also have a full Economic Impact
Survey taken.
• Winter Mountain Games
• Burton
• PINK Vail
• FEAST! Vail
• USA Pro Cycling Challenge
CSE members noted that it will be interesting to compare RRC's numbers with those
presented by the event producers as part of their recaps.
The ongoing survey results will be reported at the monthly CSE meetings, as associated
with the scheduled event recaps.
2. Event Liaison Update to the CSE: Hefferren distributed a packet of newspaper clippings
illustrating the marketing efforts of many of the recent and upcoming events.
a. Taste of Vail: A Tier 2 event that has done a good job, and completed all of the checks
on the Marketing Checklist on schedule. She encouraged the CSE to take a look at their
Facebook link- where they show 2500 followers.
b. Spring Back to Vail: As a Tier 1 event does not need to demonstrate compliance with
specific checks, but Hefferren noted that they have done an excellent job to date.
c. Feast! Vail: A Tier 2 event, which has completed 3 of 10 targets on the Marketing
Checklist and are on schedule to date. Kundolf noted that the proposed logo strongly
resembles that of the Taste of Vail. Johnson and Tille stated that they would address the
concerns with the Taste of Vail directly.
d. Vail America Days: (90 days out): Also, a Tier 2 event in its first year of production by
Highline is on target for marketing compliance, with a goal of going live with the website
next week. Johnson stated that they want to make sure that they have the brand "right"
before setting up. Navas noted that, although the cash funding from the CSE for this
event is $40,000, there is an additional $31,500 in the fireworks contract carryover from
2012.
3. VLMD Brand Positioning Update: Incorporating the Health and Well Being Pillar
Adam Sutner
Beth Slifer spoke a few words of introduction and referring to the strategic planning
recommendations of James Chung and the current and old research, stated that the
VLMD continues to struggle with how WELLNESS is ever going to fit in with their
strategic planning. After several years or effort to initiate programming, they have agreed
that is not the VLMD's job. However it remains that the VVMC and the wellness ideal is
strategic priority for 2013 and a valuable arena for Vail to be in.
Sutner: Presented VLMDAC new wellness branding strategy deck. It's not just Vail
concept, it's a national concept.
Bank: Was there any thought of using "well being" in the center of diagram? Sutner:
Consumer benefit of well being in `living life at a fuller level" — unique to Vail due to
combination of physical, cultural and well being. Term "Well being" is not well known or
understood enough yet by consumers
Kerstiens: How impactful are digital communications? Sutner: Digital space sensibility —
lateral enterprises which appeal to Vail as well. Examples: Calistoga, Napa, Arizona.
CSE/Meeting Minutes April 3, 2013 Page 2 of 7
4/ 16/2013
Distribution of video in digital domain — serving it on sites where profile seen. Examples:
Patagonia.com home page, OutsideMagazine.com
Kundolf: We need to take pride in the soul, spirit and history of Vail, and remember that
we are accountable. She encouraged the inclusion of the concept of year- round
"vibrancy." Sutner: Only succeeds when customer comes to Vail and experience pays it
off, the CSE is at the heart- "you create the experiences."
Slifer: Agrees with Kundolf. Community passion is what makes Vail different and
combined with our other assets is what makes it work and deliver.
Bank noted that it is helpful to see how the winter and summer brands have become
aligned.
McDonald reported of the recent visit by a number of business leaders from Truckee
who observed red that "Everyone seems so happy to be here!" Our love as a community
shows.
Sutner: May-Oct brand is equally powerFul to Winter with a singular message — creates
brand integration.
Bruno: Enjoys "aspirational." We want people to be here without forcing them to be told
it's healthy. Sutner: Work hard, play hard.
CSE members were uniformly supportive of the concept as presented.
4. Leon Fell/King of the Mountain Volleyball: Remarking that this is the "biggest event in the
valley that no-one knows anything about, he assured the CSE that "we are not forgetting about
the tournament itself, we are attempting to create a Special Event around the event and
enhance its visibility.
Fell: 2012: 575 participating. 68 teams in 2012. 85-95% returnees per year.
2013: Juniors divisions growing — and intend to grow that group.
New AVP (Association of VB Professionals) is now launched
Fell described event enhancement per the document included in the packet. Venues under
consideration: Solaris, Mountain Plaza, Golden Peak under Chair 12.
Navas: At Solaris on Saturday, Vail Rocks! Stage facing from North International Bridge
including liquor license. Shannon Foley is open to collaboration.
If AVP included, "AVP at Vail' within working title of King of the Mountain Open, has a strong
marketing visibility.
Kerri Walsh (1/2 of the US Olympic multiple gold medalist team of May and Walsh) has
agreed to come to Vail during the King of the Mountain Open to help promote the "new" AVP
Pro Beach Tour as well as to enhance the growth of the Vail event and promote greater
participation in the sport. $15,000 appearance fee for the weekend.
Pared down option: Kerri Walsh, John Hyden, Angie Akers at existing courts on the Soccer
Field.
CSE/Meeting Minutes April 3, 2013 Page 3 of 7
4/ 16/2013
If court in Vail option: Keep court busy by bringing games into the village. Finals Sunday
afternoon
Kundolf: Thank you.
Chapin: Why not Arrabelle ice rink? Fell: Can't get trucks in to Lionshead to bring in the
sand. Sutner: There is also Lionshead Yard.
Fell: Latest date to sign up for clinics? 2 days prior. Word can get out there quickly for 2013
marketing
5. Restaurant Week Update: Restaurant Group — Brian Nolan
This item was tabled as no one arrived to provide the information.
6. FEAST! Vail Update: Highline- Missy Johnson and Katie Tillie
Missy Johnson: Overarching brand of Vail culinary or distinct identity for the event? Highline
is taking both into consideration. McDonald suggested that they speak to Kristin Yantis, PR
representative of both the VLMD and of the Taste of Vail. FEAST! Vail is being
recommended to the VLMD as the kickoff for summer push. On April 19 a brief overview to
VLMD is scheduled. Highline will provide local marketing efforts; the VLMD will produce the
front range and national efforts. Johnson: Agreed.
Katie Tillie: Schedule has been announced and website will be released week of April 8. The
focus for 2013 is collaboration — food and wine. "One big community" buy-in from
restaurants. Examples: Burgers and Bordeaux, Bubbles and brunch. Many restaurants have
signed on. Showcase Vail Restaurants and Chefs against "the others."
Sutner: Guests Chefs — contracts in communication. Want them for the whole weekend and
accessible to guests. VLMD media push on- air begins May 1.
Johnson added that to promote full community engagement, they will be pushing all Vail
restaurants to include a"Feast!" menu item.
McDonald: Go NOW and tell restaurants about event. Get word out now so they are open.
Kundolf: One sheeter: Will add Feast! to flier being handed out next week, April 8. Missy to
execute. Also doing a teaser postcard piece.
Bruno: Cross market with the upcoming spring events- i.e. ask other event producers to
post: "I liked Taste of Vail. If you liked that, you'll like Feast! Vail." She also added to make
sure that the retailers are "in" as well.
Davis arrived at 10:20.
7. Vail HoliDaze Discussion: Adam Sutner
Historical reason for the event: Choose Vail and don't make other plans. HoliDaze partner to
Snow Daze. Key components have become: Ice Skating show and kid zone. Ranked as #2 daily
spend from the Economic Impact study. Vail Mountain is looking at pulling out funding (�150K)
CSE/Meeting Minutes April 3, 2013 Page 4 of 7
4/ 16/2013
Options to consider: Vail Resorts focus on Snow Daze & TOV to be 100% accountable for
HoliDaze based specifically on community needs — ice show, kid zones, Christmas tree, etc.
ballpark $75-100K. Pursue TOVC, sponsorship. Econ Development and TOV staff
recommendation is that the event should stay. Should start funding process now.
Chapin: For $150K what was Vail Resorts providing? Incremental and concerts.
McDonald suggested she and Sutner work with Highline to come to May CSE meeting and bring
budget options in collaboration with CSE, and bring ideas and funding recommendations to the
table.
Kundolf: Community is invested in 4t" of July and HoliDaze. Explore a community co-op in
sponsorship with Meadow Drive, etc.?
8. Vail Soul: Status of event production elements Rhonda Jackson updated the CSE on the
current status of the production elements for this summer's event, as requested:
• Liquor potential partner: Diageo
• India Arie 35-50K. Speaking to talent options dial, budget negotiations are underway. "We
can deliver on talent, but cannot bring all."
• Develop a Friday meet and greet: Acoustic Set.
• Local event producer: Laurie Asmussen — contract is secured
• Navas: Share Arrabelle Tent use with Jazz Fest to help minimize costs? Jackson: Spoke to
Alpine Rental. Pay rental fee, but share set-up/take-down. Also considering Thursday: Cross
promotional event for Soul & Jazz — free event — Soul Fest declined due to budget. Will
promote Vail Soul Fest in Jazz Fest program
• McDonald's, without Youth component of the event, is not interested.
• Sponsorship — working on auto sponsor. Confirmed 2 sponsors: McDonalds, Verizon.
Seeking for media partnership — Clear Channel
• New: Vail Village activation
Davis: What brings attendance? Jackson: The new video promotion, DJ's, the artists.
Davis: "Location alone won't drive attendance. Vail Village is an enhancement." Bank added
that the problem isn't "where to eat," its getting more people here."
At 10:45 a.m.
➢ Motion to adjourn into Executive Session pursuant to: 1) C.R.S. §24-6-402(4)(b)(e) -

discussed in the Executive Session that was not noticed. M/S/P:
Davis/Kerstiens/Unanimous

CSE/Meeting Minutes April 3, 2013 Page 5 of 7
4/ 16/2013
o Concept presented today is significantly different from what was funded
o Poor sponsorship development
o No confirmed talent
o Overall lack of confidence in the operational abilities of the producer
o Missed the spirit of where the event should go
o Marketing focus changed from National to Local
o Lack of financial viability based on historical actions and a proposed 2013 budget
that is not viable or realistic
M/S/P: Davis/Kerstiens/Unanimous
Bruno to advise Rhonda Jackson, Navas will prepare a letter.
9. New Business and Community Input
• Bank introduced a suggestion to add competition component w/prize money, similar to the
Town Race Series to the Whitewater Kayak event, in order to give it more vitality. Stating
that he had spoken to Sean Glackin and that he was excited by the concept, Bank proposed
an additional $2,000 in funding
• Fell requested additional funding consideration for the previously discussed enhancements
to the King of the Mountain Volleyball Tournament.
• McDonald noted that there is now a"calendar hole" the weekend of Aug 16-18, based on
the cancellation of the Soul Music Fest.
• Sutner introduced another opportunity and described an opportunity for Vail to host a
casting call for the TV Show "Survivor," which is currently scheduled to take place in Denver.
CBS, which will air the program, has indicated an interest in moving the event from Denver
to Vail, on the weekend of our choice, filmed, aired on Ch4 and possibly on CBS network.
No cost for show - production support to stage. Venue: Possible Solaris ice rink -
stations/stunts. Estimated production support -$20K. Can choose any date CSE/VLMD
wants in Summer 2013. CSE funding for production / VLMD funding for media buy. Last
date May 14 - June 18. FYI: Tough Mudder is Aug 17tn

the Mountain, Vail Holidaze, Vail Whitewater Kayak Demos and the "Survivor" Casting Call
live television programming.
➢ Motion to approve $15,000 for the King of the Mountain Volleyball Tournament in order
to secure the talent and provide additional marketing enhancements as presented earlier in
the meeting; and contingent on AVP, marketing, timely recaps and updates.
M/S/P: Chapin/Kerstiens/Unanimous
➢ Motion to approve $2,000 to the Whitewater Kayaking Demos to provide prize incentives
to grow the event.

• Others Present:

• TOV Staff Present:
Town Manager Stan Zemler; Economic Development Manager Kelli McDonald;
• ECO Transit Presentation:
Kelley Collier presented an overview PowerPoint to committee members on Spine Service
Feasibility Study. The recommendation from the study was to develop a spine network on
I-70, supported by a combination of local service types. Each local service type has specific
benefits and should be used accordingly. Travel patterns dictate that most support service will
need to be local service on Highway 6. Circulator services within communities are appropriate for
Vail, Avon, Edwards. Impacts on Vail are that service will continue as is at present, relying on Vail
Transit for dispersing passengers. There will be the same stops in Vail and will continue using
frontage road to serve the Lionshead stop, as well as the Vail Village transit center. Expresses
will continue for moving peak passenger leads. Plan does include peak Vail-Beaver Creek service
in winter for 2013. 58% of riders use bus passes and ridership is growing back to the record level
of 1 million passengers in 2008 to 750,000 in 2012. ECP Transit is currently in talks with Wolcott
MPC developer regarding need of the new community and impact on the ECO Transit system.
Health & Wellbeing Presentation:
Adam Sutner and Laurie Mullen gave an update with a power point presentation to committee
members on the strategic plan from the VLMDAC to integrate health & wellbeing into the brand
platform. The background was that a 2008 brand perceptual study done by Reach Advisors
identified a persona of mountain traveler highly disposed towards an offering like Vail, including
active participants, passionate pursuits, hands on learning orientated and who want to develop
and challenge themselves. 2008-2013 the focus has been on recruiting medical groups/tourism,
events, enterprises (Arthrex), PR (Vitality Center), Solaris yoga, culinary, small specialty
groups/events e.g. Ellen Miller, Chris Carmichael, Living Well Summit, Pink Vail, et. al. John
Stone gave a preview of the Living Well Summit scheduled for September in Vail. Vail May —
October brand evolution discussion includes integration of health & wellbeing into current brand
positioning and still maintaining the integrated year round positioning and the Vail Like Nothing on
Earth tag line. Evolve the Vail brand framework so that the role of health & wellbeing is
understood, organized and articulated. Create a process designed to move this initiative forward
that aligns the stakeholders, frames the brand thinking and creates a communication and creative
strategy with measurable results. The new brand positioning works because it keeps Vail in a
leadership position and differentiated from the competitive resorts; winds across the brand
horizontally; seeks to connect with a new audience not previously "aware" of Vail. Brand goals
are to increase Vail's awareness from 89% to 96% and increase NPS score from 82 to 86.
Sustaining goals are to increase occupancy 3%; increase sales and lodging tax to exceed annual
inflation as measured by CPI; increase group occupancy by 5%; increase destination guests to
60% of the visitor mix and international visitors to 5% of the visitor mix. This presentation will be
made to Town Council at the April 16 work session.
4/ 16/2013

Communitywide Recycling Program under consideration. Kristen Bertuglia will give a detailed
report at the May 14 VEAC meeting to committee members. Michael Kurz thanked members for
their comments on the special event report and suggested a joint meeting with Jenn Bruno and
Adam Sutner in later summer to provide direction prior to CSE funding allocation meetings in
November. He also reported on the VVMC Master Plan that was presented to PEC on Monday,
April 8. Zemler requested the Golf Course Clubhouse Economic Impact Study be presented at
the May 14 VEAC meeting. Greg Moffet requested an Eagle County Planner present the Wolcott
Development Plan to VEAC at a future meeting. Mark Gordon requested VHA Board be on a
