ITEM/TOPIC: Phase I Design Development Review of the Vail Wayfinding Project, including the Interstate, Off Ramps, Roundabouts, Frontage Roads and the Parking Structures. The Wayfinding Project is a Component of Town of Vail Guest Service Enhancement Initiative (45 min) PRESENTER(S): Greg Hall, Dave Tweed and Janet Martin Stantec/CommArts ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Vail Town Council is asked to review the Design Development Package as presented and provide direction and approval with the various components of the package to move the project toward implementation. The next step would be the creation of engineered Construction Documents to obtain CDOT final approval and sign fabrication solicitation. BACKGROUND: Since 2010 when the Vail Town Council identified “Improved Guest Service” as a top priority to complement the completion of Vail’s redevelopment, staff has been working to address the town’s critical role in the delivery of guest services through a phased Guest Service Enhancement Initiative. As such, significant operational and annual capital investments are being made to fund improvements to wayfinding, parking operations and guest facilities. These elements, coupled with investments in marketing and events, are being used to strengthen Vail’s overall economic vitality. In January 2011 CommArts/Stantec was selected during a competitive process to assist the town with its goal to expand the quality and integration of services to enhance the guest experience in all seasons. Initial phases of this work have included program and design elements for the Lionshead Welcome Center, phased refinements to the town’s wayfinding system and conceptual options for remodel of the Vail Village Welcome Center. The focus of this presentation is the Design Development Package for wayfinding signs encompassing the interstate, off ramps, main Vail roundabouts, south frontage road and signs within the Village and Lionshead parking structures. The 2013 and 2014 Town of Vail budgets include $3.3 million in the Capital Projects Fund for the implementation of the overall wayfinding project in anticipation of the World Alpine Ski Championships in 2015. The Vail Town Council approved the Conceptual Design Package at the August 7, 2012 meeting. The consultant and town staffs have been working with CDOT and FHWA as well as the Wayfinding Advisory Group and AIPP to develop a Design Development package for Town Council review and approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town Council is requested to review, comment and provide direction and approval on the Design Development Package of Phase 1 of the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project. 9. ITEM/TOPIC: Adjournment (10:10 p.m.) 5/7/2013 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: May 7, 2013 ITEM/TOPIC: Citizen Participation 5/7/2013 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: May 7, 2013 ITEM/TOPIC: Consent Agenda: 1) Approval of April 2 and April 16 meeting minutes; 2) Simba Run Underpass Feasibility and Planning Environmental Linkage (PEL) Report Contract Award ATTACHMENTS: April 2, 2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes Simba Run Underpass PEL Contract Award Simba Run Underpass PEL Contract Award Powerpoint 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 1 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 2, 2013 6:00 P.M. Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Andy Daly. Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Kerry Donovan Kevin Foley Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Pro-tem Greg Moffet Margaret Rogers Susie Tjossem Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager _________________________________________________________________ The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Mayor Daly noted that any attendees who were planning to speak at the upcoming pubic hearing on Ford Park should understand that only comments relating to the Master Plan would be heard and no comments would be heard regarding specific projects in the park. With that stated, Randy Milhoan, Minturn resident and long-time valley resident, spoke historically about the evolution of cultural events and the purchase of the Antholtz property, which subsequently became Ford Park. The Mayor ultimately asked Milhoan to step down until the Ford Park discussion was called. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. a. Ludi Kurz moved, with a second from Greg Moffet, to approve the March 5 minutes with no corrections. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. b. Moffet then moved, with a second from Donovan, to approve the March 19 minutes. Daly asked to have minor corrections to paragraph 1 (addition of his name). A vote was taken and the minutes were approved unanimously, 7-0. c. Mayor Daly read Proclamation #2, Series of 2013, in full relating to the Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service. Donovan moved to approve, with a second from Moffet. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. d. Mayor Daly then read Proclamation #3, Series of 2013, in full relating to Colorado Architecture Month. Kurz moved, with a second from Moffet, to approve the resolution. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager Report. Stan Zemler, Town Manager, reported the tree growth maintenance process for the area near the Covered Bridge is being submitted to the Design Review Board (DRB), saying Council had given staff the ability to manage the trees. Margaret Rogers said a problem with this is that Council doesn’t get to see the proposed solution. She recognizes that Council can call it up, but that’s after the fact. George Ruther, Community Development Director, said previously an amendment to the view corridor ordinance had been 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 2 passed by Council to allow for general maintenance. Ruther indicated he would prepare a memo for the April 16 meeting to clarify what’s being proposed. The fourth item on the agenda was a public hearing to discuss master planning for Gerald R. Ford Park. Ruther introduced the topic stating Council should have the red-lined version of Resolution 17, Series of 2012, adopting the amendments to the Ford Park Management Plan (1997) and which show what was retained and what was removed. Ruther said these amendments reflected updated new ideas following the passage of the Conference Center Funds and the uses that were outlined in that ballot question, thus affecting Ford Park. He noted there were several questions to be answered by Council centering on the original policy direction provided in the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan: the relationship between the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, 1997 Ford Park Management Plan and the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendments; what is similar and how do they differ; did the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendment alter the policy direction in the two previous plans; and, the fundamental point, should the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan be amended to include, all or parts of the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendments. And if so, which parts should be included and how should the amendments be implemented in the future. These critical issues needed to be understood. Ruther then went on to clarify the chronology and history of the planning documents for the park, in which the planning issues were outlined. In the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, key policy direction centered around the following: Ford Park is to meet the recreational needs of the community, thus a community park; care is to be taken to conserve and enhance natural areas; active recreational elements are to be consolidated and located away from the meadow and creek areas, the sensitive riparian areas; the park will be protected from over development; high use facilities will be located away from more passive uses; structures will be stepped into the existing topography; parking areas will be located adjacent to the Frontage Road and away from areas with children; berms and landscape buffers will separate uses; and the plan provides the guidelines for which future development will be evaluated. These policies identify and acknowledge intended uses on the upper and lower benches of the park. Ruther stated the 1997 Ford Park Management plan was more about operations and management, although it supported the policies of the 1985 plan document. In this document, there were six major goals: preservation and protection; reduction of vehicular intrusions; reduction of conflicts between venues; resolution of parking and Frontage Road access problems; improvement of pedestrian circulation; and delineation of financial responsibilities. Donovan asked if these were considered over-arching goals. Ruther clarified these further addressed issues around operations and planning, with the concerns for the park beginning to be understood. The six goals remain highly relevant. Daly stated the only way he could rationalize the two plans was that the ’97 plan goals got more specific and the scheduling and planning for the park appears to be successful. Daly questioned the difference between “allowed” uses vs. “prohibited” uses. Rogers stated some administrative office support was essential to the operation of the various users and should be allowed only to the extent they are ancillary to cultural and educational endeavors and should not exceed 20%. Daly agreed offices should only support uses actually happening in the park, things that occur in the park. He then asked about the Vail Recreation District (VRD) tennis center and how much actual space went to offices. That was confirmed at almost 100%. Discussion ensued bout whether the use was operational or ancillary is the appropriate definer of office space. Daly suggested VRD’s use of the tennis center be grandfathered for three year to allow the district to find new office space in order to stay consistent with the concept and plan. He also asked whether Council should be addressing uses that are year ‘round or seasonal. Rogers stated the ’85 plan contemplates winter use, while Donovan felt these were already eliminated 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 3 In regard to year ‘round use, Ruther asked what it is about year ‘round use Council wants to understand. What are the impacts? Ruther said it was the Planning and Environmental Commission’s (PEC) role to evaluate those impacts. Daly questioned the impact of more and frequent delivery trucks adding to the traffic on the lower bench, especially as an organization’s main headquarters were now located there. Foley noted ADA access would be tough to control. Moffet agreed with Daly’s comment, stating the building would be a long way from the street so traffic was inevitable. Rogers suggested the storage areas on the west end of the upper bench could be used for receiving and shipping goods. Tjossem agreed a centralized delivery area made sense. Kurz felt the 20% for offices was a little excessive and that staff should look into it. He emphasized the ’97 plan spoke to reducing conflicts between users, having a low profile and the use of natural materials. He also stated the social plaza educational center and enlarged restrooms appeared to fit into the 2012 amended plan, since it shows new structures. Donovan said the ’97 plan was the result of a broad public process, in which it was determined the Alpine Gardens Educational Center was approved for the soccer field parking lot, and not in the lower bench. It was clarified the Phase I projects included new buildings, adding restrooms on the east and west end of the softball fields, a concession stand, relocation or the bus shelter and a new trash shelter. Tjossem said a case could be made for the educational center on the upper bench. Kurz noted the incremental cost of providing structured parking at the soccer field parking lot put the kibosh on the Garden’s educational center at the soccer field parking lot. He feels the best place for the educational center is the lower bench because of proximity, although he could be easily convinced for another location. Foley agreed and said he would listen to a case for the upper bench, as would Tjossem. Rogers said cultural and educational activities already occur on the lower bench; however, the upper bench is also close to the gardens entrance and they were going to fix up that north entrance anyway. It would be a great location. Moffet felt much more comfortable sticking with the ’85 plan and was much more amenable to the upper bench. Daly summarized that the majority belief of Council was no additional structures should be on the lower bench and the lower bench should be preserved for natural uses. Rogers asked where the actual demarcation between the upper and lower bench was. Moffet replied the new retaining wall at the ball fields was appropriate since it defines the topography. Everything north of that wall is the upper bench. Daly questioned how the town would deal with antiquated facilities, such as the restrooms, and how we could modernize facilities within a certain foot print, such as the social courtyard. How would remodels and modest increases be handled. Donovan stated there should be no new structures or buildings on the lower bench, since this would just open the door to creep. There should be no expanding of the footprint. Rogers stated it was never said that the lower bench was to be a conservation area. Foley said to fix them up but not to expand. The town needs adequate facilities. He also noted new restrooms were underway for the softball fields at both ends, east and west. Moffet said hard limits were needed. Rogers questioned what, then, could be done with the Art Shack. Could a new building be put on an old foundation? She did not want to preclude improvements to the park. Foley, Tjossem, Moffet and Donovan agreed there should be no new buildings, along with Kurz, although he didn’t agree entirely with Donovan. Zemler noted a social courtyard already exists at the Amphitheater and the Ford Family Tribute has been moved to this location. 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 4 Rogers asked if they were starting from scratch and if they were planning this park in the abstract. Foley replied that, yes, we’re coming up with a new document. Moffet said Council couldn’t do a master plan update based on a development application. He also noted the Phase I improvements were consistent with the ’97 plan and the 2012 amendments. Daly asked about ownership of the structures in the park, recognizing if the structures were not maintained to the town’s standards, they should revert to the town. Tjossem agreed these structures have long term implications and that the town is ultimately responsible for them. Rogers asked if the town really wanted to own everything in the park, and thus assume responsibility for them. Ruther pointed out Goal # 6 outlines the roles, responsibilities and obligations of all the park users. Tjossem said the improvements need to look and feel like they meet Vail standards. Daly stated an effective ground lease with a reversion clause was needed to insure this. A request was made for an update on the temporary structures in the park supporting concerts, social events and galas. Donovan said she did not believe the Commons Area green space on the lower bench should be treated as a wedding venue and should not be an available venue. She added International Dance and Bravo! were OK on a limited basis but there should overall be less temporary use. Anything that takes up that green space for an extended time should not be allowed. Ruther suggested Gold # 3 that deals with conflicts could have more language added on frequency. Ruther also noted the staff memo, page 8, talked about the ’85 plan and its defining of bulk, mass and scale. Expanded uses were covered in the ’97 plan after the completion of the pedestrian path from the ball fields to the Village Parking Structure. And parking improvements to the Frontage Road have been made so there is no actual net loss of parking. Zemler questioned what we tell the Phase II applicants. What is the process at this point, while not presuming any outcomes. Kurz urged Council to respect the ’85 and ’97 documents that have done the town well and to recognize these are 28 and 16 years old, respectively. The town has to look to the future so that 50 years from now, we can be just as proud. Public Comment was opened with Tom Steinberg, former Councilmember, stating past abuse at Ford Park has not been rectified, resulting in much more shallow streamflow. The stream bank needs to be returned to its original state. He urged Council not to overuse the park with buildings, amphitheaters, bridges and schools but to return the park to open space and recreation. He said Ford Park was originally bought with RETT dollars, so to honor the intent of RETT. Bob Armour, former mayor, stated there was a reason we did a management plan and not a master plan back in ’97 and noted there was already enough administrative staff in the park. Nicola Ripley, Director for the Gardens, said the Gardens remain flexible and are perfectly comfortable waiting for direction from Council. Diana Donovan, former Councilmember, noted there was no language that supports arts and cultural activities on the lower bench, and Council should return to more riparian concerns, more natural and recreational uses. She also questioned what public process had occurred and that as a citizen of Vail; it was hard to get educated when there was no give and take with the public. Also noting a small and select group of users put the amendments forward, it was not the same process as being at a round table. Donovan stated residents are not polarized on this but there is just a huge amount 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 5 of misunderstanding. She asked to share her red-lined copy of the documents and was assured Zemler and Ruther would sit down with her. Galen Aasland, local architect, noted one of the stakeholders, the public, was not at the table. He is glad there will be no further development on the lower bench. He said a 3,000 SF building was too much, especially when you consider how much surrounding space goes to ground improvements and the adjacent area. Joe Staufer, former Councilmember, was concerned that the Phase II plans primarily called for restrictive private structures and that the social plaza should be off limits for further construction. Jack Hunn, representing the Vail Valley Foundation for over 2 years, said shared visions for the entire park were included in the 2012 amendments and reflected these pursued concepts. The improvements to Ford Park had always been treated as one project, to be implemented in two phases. A lot had gone on since the amendments were approved a year ago. He recognized the town owns the park and said the Foundation would continue to be a good partner. Future language should not preclude good ideas into the future. Daly asked whether a small citizen committee should be put together, to which Rogers responded the talking had already been going on for the last two years. They were not starting from scratch but were correcting a process that was flawed. Donovan said the Master Plan deserves a public debate, although agreed we’re not starting over. Zemler said clear guidance was needed. A draft master plan would be provided and it would be Council’s job to establish policy. Randy Milhoan returned to the podium and underscored it was very important to listen to what Jack Hunn had said. In researching The Vail Trail form 1971 to 1973, he said the progress was miraculous, but this occurred not by over-regulating but by trusting each other. He asked not to straight jacket the future. Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Homeowner’s Association, thanked the Council for taking this much care of a public property and for their ability to step back. He suggested taking a re-look at the original Vail Plan because every Council has dealt with Ford Park. He asked to make changes in a very circumspect way and from an historical perspective. He said a definition of what these quasi- public buildings will be should be added. He suggested adding a visitor center on the upper bench that could contain the educational center and a public parking structure to shield the sound from the Interstate. Tom Steinberg again approached the podium to state Bravo! does not receive money from the Amphitheater, which he knows from sitting on the Bravo! board for 23 years. He urged Council to say no to an additional sculpture garden and to leave this as recreational and open space. There being no further public comment, Council requested staff bring back a merged 1985 Ford Park Master Plan with the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendments, the latter of which already contains the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan. A five minute recess was called. The fifth item on the agenda was to appoint one member to the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council. A motion was made by Kurz, with a second from Tjossem, to appoint Michael 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 2, 2013 Page 6 Holton to fill an unexpired term ending on December 31, 2013. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The sixth item on the agenda was the 2012 Year-end Investment Report. Finance Director Judy Camp stated the 2012 Year-End Investment Report was based on three over-arching policies: safety, liquidity and yield. Treasury yields remain low, although the town has out-performed its benchmarks, at almost 1-1/2 % higher. Staff has changed the mix of investments and has used low- yielding funds to pay off external debt on Timber Ridge. The seventh item on the agenda was the second reading of Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2013 supplementing the 2013 budget. Kathleen Halloran, Manager of Budgets and Financial Reporting, gave a brief overview with questions followed by Council. Donovan was concerned with a picnic table location as a part of the streamwalk improvements. Todd Oppenheimer, Public Works Capital Projects, stated there would be a 270 foot low boulder wall, built within 3-4 segments and with a maximum height of 5 feet that would realign a section of the path. This $360,000 project was endorsed by Council with the condition that the route to the creek is obliterated, creating a buffer to preserve the riparian area. Daly also noted the path looks very straight so to add some interest and use a little creative license. Oppenheimer confirmed the path would have a natural service. Daly questioned moving forward with the North Frontage Road improvements in front of Safeway, but was reminded that a vote had previously been taken and the outcome was 5-1 to move forward. Rogers moved to approve, with a second from Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The eighth item on the agenda was Adjournment. There being no further business, Moffet moved to adjourn, with a second from Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0, to adjourn at 9:45 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Attest: __________________________________ Andrew P. Daly, Mayor ___________________________________ Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 16, 2013 Page 1 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, April 16, 2013 6:00 P.M. Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Andy Daly. Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Kerry Donovan Kevin Foley Greg Moffet Margaret Rogers Susie Tjossem Members absent: Ludwig Kurz Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager _________________________________________________________________ The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Mike Cacioppo criticized the policy of allowing no public comment during the work session and voiced his concern about banning plastic bags. He said that was a First Amendment violation. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. a. Resolution No. 8, Series of 2013, VLMD Supplement. Moffet moved, with a second from Tjossem, to approve this supplemental appropriation. Donovan noted she would be voting against the measure because it had still not been determined how long term the town was going to pay for ongoing special events. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-l (Donovan opposed). b. 2013 Overlay Project Award. Moffet moved, with a second from Rogers, to approve the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. c. South Frontage Road Bike Lane Improvement Project Award. Moffet moved, with a second from Rogers, to approve the award. Moffet also noted Council needed to have a global conversation about projects of this nature. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. d. Proclamation No. 4, Series of 2013, National Library Week. Mayor Daly read the proclamation in full. Moffet moved, with a second from Donovan, to approve the proclamation. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Town Librarian Lori Barnes thanked the Council and invited them to upcoming events. e. Proclamation No. 5, Series of 2013, National Building Safety Month. Mayor Daly read the proclamation in full. Donovan moved, with a second from Foley, to approve the proclamation. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Chief Building Official Martin Haeberle invited Council to join him and other staff at the next morning’s spring construction kick off. The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager Report. Town Manager Stan Zemler reported Vail Resorts would be re-opening the front side of the mountain this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Parking will be free and the town will be providing spring bus service with some enhancements. 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 16, 2013 Page 2 The fourth item on the agenda was Council appointments to the Art in Public Places (AIPP) board. Moffet moved, with a second from Rogers, to appoint Dana Patterson and Wendy St. Charles to two- year terms on the Art in Public Places Board. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The fifth item on the agenda was to a public hearing to discuss the proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan. Community Development Director George Ruther introduced the topic, noting clarification was needed on how to proceed with the 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan. He said the previous three plans were all relevant and pertinent and the 2013 plan will be a compilation of the three documents containing the good information already contained in those plans. He also said as Council looked at the discussion goals, Items 3 through 6 will set the policy goals, while 1 and 2 will define how those policies get implemented. The first item to be discussed was found on page three of the memo stating a summary of previous comments and direction. Statement number one in this section removed wording that did not reflect the ballot question for the use of conference center funds. Thus, the following was removed, “the Alpine gardens, park-wide pedestrian flow, as well as.” Regarding number two, Ruther stated in ’97, a lot of the discussion centered around the four user groups; thus, action statements institutionalized lessening or preventing the previous conflicts between users. He notes setting subareas might further address these (Policy Statements one and two). The subareas would correspond to the lease areas. When asked if user groups could exchange land sites, Ruther stated there would have to be a compelling public purpose. Rogers expressed concern about language that would in effect limit upgrades to existing facilities. Tjossem suggested a qualifier for “new, changed or expanded facilities or uses will not be permitted” to include maintenance, thus assuring this type of improvement can occur. Ruther said he would study that further to insure it could happen in a proponent’s leased area. Discussion for number three, listing the Phase I improvements, was discussed and approved, with the addition of “east” to the enhanced Betty Ford Way improvements, as well as the restrooms and concessions buildings. As a policy, no new structures are to be located on the lower bench. Additionally, the Council asked that in implementing this policy direction, only those structures and improvements already approved and currently under construction in Phase I be allowed. Council also agreed that those structures or improvements proposed for Phase II not be included in the planning at this time. Discussion as to the definition for the Upper and Lower Benches was illustrated through a draft plan map delineating the boundary between the two. Much of it follows the topography of the park, which creates a strong edge and boundary. Identifying subareas could include both the Upper and Lower benches. The berms and landscaped buffers currently, and into the future, further define what can happen in those established use areas, adding more specificity. He also noted it would be possible to create a preservation and protection zone, as noted in the ’97 plan. This would come with a written description of the area and what things could occur at this site. It could have meets and bounds descriptions. Rogers had questions regarding the soccer field (athletic field to the north of Vail Valley Drive). Ruther also noted there should be space for passive recreation and for the Gore Creek corridor, both of which will never have anything on them. He said we want to make sure we haven’t created missed opportunities and Council may want to focus on specific recommendations and respect that 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 16, 2013 Page 3 line. Moffet urged concentrating on the prohibited, permitted and conditional uses allowed in each subarea as the definers on use. Ruther then went to the Draft Outline for the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan. He detailed the Introduction; Site Assessment/Existing Conditions; Previous Planning Efforts/Community Involvement; Goals/Objectives/Policies and Action Steps (to which Rogers wished to add cultural to Item A, further defining what the park “was” and what it “became.” Ruther noted the original six Goal Statements from the ’97 plan would be a good starting point for this section of the plan); Ford Park Sub-Areas, which will include what is to occur, and when asked by Donovan if one plan would actually trump another, Ruther responded that should not happen - we have to have consistency in the messaging; Illustrative Plan, with graphic depictions; Design Criteria, concentrating on uses, compatibility, screening, etc.; Park Management; and the Appendix. Ruther said the Master Plan is intended to be a decision making guide. It’s high level and conceptual. Ruther then asked Council to return to the Discussion Goals, starting with number three asking the question if Council was in agreement with the location of the boundary line and the concept of subareas within the park. There was agreement. Number four was a question of whether there was general agreement with the direction presently recommended for the format and contents of the new master plan, and there was. Number five spoke to 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; however, an ordinance was never brought forward. Questions arose as to the Allowed Uses, in particular, administrative offices. Ruther stated it was appropriate to support the uses on the site. In 1998, a conditional use permit was approved to allow offices at the tennis center site. Daly questioned whether it was appropriate for the Vail Recreation District’s (VRD) administrative offices to be primarily located at the tennis center. Rogers said public art should be included as an Allowed Use to recognize current practice. Under Prohibited Uses, a clarification of “exchange or trade” related to land transactions. It was further explained the inclusion of Type III and IV employee housing was listed under Prohibited Uses only because it is allowable in the General Use Zone District, which Ford Park is. Under Item six, it was agreed to leave in “staff offices for on-site park activities are an allowed use.” Further discussion centered around setting a maximum gross square foot area of 15% for offices. Tjossem felt this was a limiting factor. Ruther explained it was a quantitative standard. It was decided not to use the percentage. Ruther then brought the discussion back to the original first two goals for the evening. Moffet said he was comfortable with the defined uses in the subareas. Daly stated they should identify a potential use and find a site for it. Tjossem queried whether the town would be required to provide access to any area of the park. Foley suggested Council let Ruther do his homework and then come back to them. Donovan agreed. Rogers said she wanted to see both the social courtyard at the Amphitheater and the Betty Ford Alpine Garden Education Center included in the plan because they were both appropriate. Daly said this was a master plan and it was up to the applicant to prove suitability. He agreed with Moffet. Donovan stated an applicant would need to meet most of the goals of the plan. Discussion then moved to the second goal, focusing on the Phase II improvements and whether any of them should be included in the 2013 Master Plan. Moffet said yes; however, this does not imply approval. Donovan stated it would be irresponsible to proceed and that Council should not include them until the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and public had vetted them. 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 16, 2013 Page 4 Rogers disagreed saying the Master Plan should address the site as it currently is. Foley said if they meet all the criteria, they could be included, to which Tjossem added if they meet all the goal statements, this will wash out, too. Donovan asked that Council be more willing to listen to the public prior to making all the decisions. Public Comments were requested. Nicola Ripley, Director of the Gardens, said confining a user group to a subarea would be very restrictive. She also stated the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens (BFAG) was a small organization and that this was becoming very taxing financially and resource-wise. Moffet responded the plan would define what is and what is not permitted. Ripley said they couldn’t keep coming back to the Council and needed clarity. Joe Staufer, resident and former Councilmember, said there should be no additional buildings. When the Gore Creek Historical Society moved the school house, it was to be used for educational purposes. He suggested if VRD moved its operations to the new clubhouse, the tennis center could be used for BFAG uses. Gwen Scalpello, BFAG board member, felt the Master Plan still needed a lot of work and noted even doubling the lower bench restrooms would impinge on recreational open space. She urged Council to leave room for improvements and to continue the streamwalk. Lease boundaries should be left behind and the Council needed to address art. She further stated the school house gift shop also operates as a museum, providing history of the school house and the area, and it informally serves as a welcome center. Liz Campbell, Development Director for BFAG, asked how long this would this go on. Daly responded the Council would next hear the matter on May 7, PEC on May 13 and then the Master Plan would return to the Council for review on May 21. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowner’s Association, said the Appendix to the document should include the 1974 Vail Plan. He also reminded Council of Dr. Tom Steinberg’s comments and concerns about the damage to the stream tract and the Nature Center site. He said the soccer field parking lot had protective covenants that must be honored. Also, the original intent for the school house was historical in nature. It should have on-going town funding since the town put it in the park. There being no further public comment, the item was closed and Ruther was thanked for the time and effort he has put into the process. The sixth item on the agenda was the Lionshead Park Contract Award. Gregg Barrie, landscape architect for the town, asked Council to award contracts to four separate contractors, including site work, art and play elements and a water feature. He stated this would provide a wonderful recreation amenity to Lionshead and would be used by both Lionshead guests and residents. He said the project was within budget. An additional $60,000 from Lionshead streetscape funds for additional improvements would be added to compliment the new park. These dollars were savings from previous projects; thus, a supplemental appropriation was not needed. Pending approval this evening, he said they would be going gangbusters until June 27. The playground components would then be set in the fall. Billy Suarez, owner of Billy’s Island Grill, said everyone loves the project. He said he came because he heard the project was a little over budget and he wanted to lend his support. Kit Williams, with Lazier Lionshead LLC and who has oversight for over 20 retail businesses in Lionshead, said the project has the full support of the retailers. Foley moved, with a second from both Moffet and Donovan, to approve the project funding. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0 5/7/2013 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 16, 2013 Page 5 The seventh item on the agenda was Resolution No. 7, Series of 2013 – Establishing the annual fee in lieu rate for commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning. George Ruther said this fee in lieu is adopted annually and it actually reflects a slight reduction in the amount. It’s calculated with running numbers over a three year period, so this formula evens out the peaks and valleys to more normalize it. It’s based on 120% of AMI, which amounts to an annual income of $81,600 for a couple. Moffet asked if it was working and how much had been generated. Ruther said it was one of five options to mitigate commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning. $650,000 has been collected to date for purchase of deed restricted units. Moffet moved to approve, with a second from Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The eighth item on the agenda was Adjournment. There being no further business, Donovan moved, with a second from Foley, to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 p.m. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Respectfully Submitted, Attest: __________________________________ Andrew P. Daly, Mayor ___________________________________ Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager 5/7/2013 To: Town Council From: Public Works Department Date: 5-7-13 Subject: Simba Run Underpass PEL Contract Award I. BACKGROUND The Simba Run Underpass is a proposed new multimodal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under I-70. This underpass has been identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan and the I-70 Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) as a critical link between the North and South Frontage Road. The Town and CDOT entered into an IGA this past fall to further study this project in the form of a Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) Report funded jointly by the Town and CDOT. Since the execution of the IGA staff has requested proposals from qualified design consultants to complete the PEL. After publically advertising and soliciting for qualified consultants, the town received one qualified proposal from Felsberg Holt and Ullevig (FHU) in the amount of $324,929.32. The project is within the total project budget of $400,000. II. RECOMMENDED ACTION Direct the Town Manager to enter into a contract with FHU in the amount of $325,000 in a form approved by the town attorney. III. ATTACHMENTS FHU Proposal, Scope and Fees 5/7/2013 FELSBURG HOLT& ULLEVIG Proposal for Town of Vail & CDOT Planning and Environmental Linkage for the Main Vail and West Vail I-70 Interchanges including the Study of the Simba Run Underpass January 17, 2013 prepared by: 5/7/2013 January 17, 2013 Mr. Tom Kassmel Town Engineer Town of Vail 1309 Elkhorn Drive Vail, CO 81657 RE:Statement of Interest and Work Plan Planning and Environmental Linkage for the Main Vail and West Vail I-70 Interchanges Including the Study of the Simba Run Underpass Project Location: I-70 Corridor MP 173 to 176, in Eagle County, Colorado Dear Mr. Kassmel and Evaluation Committee Members: Vail’s first interchange roundabout intersection wasground-breaking when implemented back in the mid 1990s, and theinterchange roundabouts todayserve as a major component in Vail’s transportation system.Besides providing a connection to I-70, they are also the critical locations to cross I-70for all private and commercial vehicles, transit routes, pedestrians and bicyclists. When congestion occurs at the roundabouts,mobility within town is severely hindered.Whilethe roundabout concept has been ahuge step forward as compared to the infamous all-way stop intersection years ago, additional travel demand from growth in recreational travel and planned redevelopment threatens their functionality and the general mobility within town. The Felsburg Holt & Ullevig team discovered the need for improvementin preparing the 2009 Transportation Planfor the Town of Vail, and we offered recommendations to help address this looming challenge. The need was also confirmed in the recently completed I-70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic EIS and ROD. It is rewarding to see proactive steps are being taken to check and implement the recommendations we crafted in theplan.A Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) study is the appropriate tool to advance interchange improvements and the new underpass and to also serve as a feasibility analysis in support of future NEPA environmental clearance and final engineeringdesignneeds. The FHU team brings a one-of-a-kind blend of qualifications thatinclude: x A thorough understanding of the intent of a PEL study in having prepared (or been a part of) numerous PEL efforts in Colorado as well as having “written the book” on CDOT PEL study guidance. The underlying goal of a PEL is to develop a long-range plan and position it for phased implementation, to get funding, to obtained streamlined NEPA clearance, and then tie these elements together in an easy-to-use implementation plan. x Strong relationships with Vail and CDOT, which provides a sense of trust with the involved stakeholders. 5/7/2013 Page 2 x A seasoned Project Manager, Chris Fasching, who brings direct relevant experience of building stakeholder consensus in transportation planning and design.Our Deputy Project Manager, Thor Gjelsteen balances Chris and brings complementary knowledge on the PEL and subsequent NEPA processes. x Key senior staff who have worked in Vail and on the I-70 PEIS hasallowed us to gain valuable knowledge of the Town and the historic recommended improvements subject to this PEL.Further, we posses and understand key analytical tools needed to perform this effort. x A support team with significant local resources that provides vast technical depth and breadth in preparing corridor transportation plans. There is ample manpower to conduct this effort within the 12-month time frame identified in the RFP. x A well thought-out approach that marries transportation planning and engineering with the appropriate level of environmental evaluation, all while actively engaging stakeholders meaningfully in project decision making. We have partnered with experienced subconsultants who strengthen our already unique qualities relative to understanding Vail and the PEL process.Team firms include Apex Design Group, Dill Historians, Goodbee & Associates, H.C Peck, PKM Design Group, the Lund Partnership, and Yeh and Associates; their roles are described in the attached document. Also, All Traffic Data is available to us should any additional transportation data collection needs arise.All but one of our subconsultantpartnersare certified DBE firms. The content of our Statement of Interest and the Work Plan should fulfill the requirements for the Invitation for Consultant Services.Felsburg Holt & Ullevigis prequalified with the Colorado Department of Transportation through February 28, 2013.To the best of my knowledge, the information and data as submitted is true and complete. We are happy to provide additional information on our submittal. Please contact Chris Fasching or Thor Gjelsteen at 303-721-1440 (303-721-0832 fax) if there are any questions.

For these stages of the I-25/Santa Fe Interchange Task Order, FHU was able to complete the scope of work at 12 percent under budget, allowing those funds to be allocated to the next task order.

The development trend promp ted the r eevaluation and update of the Town’s Transportation Masterp lan. The Vail Transportation Masterplan (VTMP) focuses on Vail’s existing transportation system and how anticipated future growth will impact Vail’s transportation infrastructure. The plan’s traffic model anticipates Vail will see approximately 2400 new vehicular PM peak hour trips once all anticipated redevelopment and build out occurs. For the purpose of the VTMP the timing of this build out was noted as 2025, however the traffic model projected in the VTMP is based on the pace of redevelopment and not necessar ily a period of time and therefore the VTMP may be valid well into the future. The impact of the projected new growth will strain the Town’s existing transportation infrastructure specifically the Main Vail (176) and West Vail (173) interchange roundabouts. Both of these roundabout interchanges are vital to Vail’s connectivity, as they are the only means of crossing Interstate 70 within a 3 mile stretch along the co mmercial and resort core areas of Vail, and they are the only points of access to the Interstate, the main artery within the Vail Valley. Straining these locations to operation failure paralyzes Vail’s Transportation network. This failure has occurred in the recent past during peak visitor times and when Vail is overwhelmed with additional traffic from Vail Pass closures, causing all traffic, transit, emergency services and general town services, to go to ‘gridlock’ within this 3 mile stretch. The future growth of Vail will require additional relief to these two key locations. The analysis of these interchange locations and Vail’s connectivity has been on-going since the original Transportation Masterplan was developed in 1991, and since that time numerous improvements have been made to these locations; most notably, the construction of the roundabouts. Design alternatives discussed since then have been included in some of the Town’s relevant Transportation documents. Each document suggest improvements to increase and/or relieve capacity at both the Main Vail and West Vail roundabouts, with the most notable improvements suggested being the “Simba Run Underpass” (underpass) and the expansion of the existing roundabouts. The suggested underpass is a grade separated crossing of the interstate located approximately half way between the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges near the namesake Simba Run Condominiums. The project is currently the third listed improvement project on the Intermountain Statewide Tr ansportation Improve ment Project’s list. This particular project would add connectivity between the north and south side of the interstate and relieve the interchanges at Main and West Vail of repetitive thru traffic by providing a direct connection betwee n the core resort village areas and the West Vail mall area. In a joint effort, the Town of Vail (TOV) and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has selected a consultant team (Felsburg Holt and Ullevig and its subconsultants) to provide a Planning Environmental Linkage (PEL) report of the Main and West Vail interchanges including an analysis of the suggested Simba Run Underpass. The selected consultant team (hereafter referred to as the Consultant) shall evaluate the existing and future operating conditions and features of the interchanges, identify problem areas, develop purpose and need for interchange improvements, develop and screen a range of alternatives including the Simba Run Underpass to reduce congestion and improve operations and safety of the interchanges. The results of these efforts will ultimately be used to prepare National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies and final design. 2 PROJECT GOALS The project goal is intended to re-examine the Main and West Vail interchanges and the suggested Simba Run Underpass by means of a PEL Report. The consultant shall; • Review and evaluate all existing Town of Vail documents relative to this project and reaffirm information that is still valid/relevant • Streamline the Project approach and work flow to best utilize the valid/relevant previously completed efforts to achieve the Project Goals • Develop a Purpose and Need for the project 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 2 • Develop, document and screen a range of improvement alternatives, including the Simba Run Underpass, and provide a recommended alternative • Coordinate and facilitate the necessary and appropriate public involvement and intergovernmental agency review and involvement • Based on 23 CFR Part 771 recommend the Class of Action for the alternatives • Provide appropriate level cost estimates for the alternatives • Provide recommended funding mechanisms for the alternatives The objective of this project is to work with stakeholders to analyze and develop a range of improvements to reduce congestion and improve operational performance and safety of the 173 and 176 interchanges as well as the Frontage Roads. The project will assist TOV, CDOT, FHWA and resource agencies in identifying issues of importance to each respective agency. The Consultant will produce documents a nd deliverables in a form that can be incorporated by reference, as appropriate, in subsequent NEPA document(s) as outlined in Appendix A to 23 CFR Part 450 – Linking the Transportation Planning and NEPA Processes. 3 PLANNED IMP ROVEMENTS This project is located on the I-70 Corridor between MP 173 and 176 in the Town of Vail, Eagle County. 4 WORK DURATION The time period for the work described in this scope is approximately 365 calendar days. 5 CONSULTANT RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTI ES The Consultant is responsible for conducting project coordination, agency coordination, public participation, PEL study concept development and alternatives analysis, environmental and design data collection and analysis, as described in the following sections. 6 WORK PRODUCT The work in the scope of services for this project will be contracted on an individual Task Order basis, as needed and if needed as determined by the Town.

The provisions linking planning and NEPA presented in Section .318 and Appendix A of 23 CFR 450 are to be followed. The findings of the PEL Study will establish the Purpose and Need, subsequent phase study area and reasonable alternatives, logical termini and independent utility, and programming priorities/timeframes/funding to be used in updating transportation plans and transportation improvement programs (TIPs). The Study will include development and evaluation of alter natives based on a consideration of Purpose and Need, geometric, planning and environmental factors, a traffic analysis, and public and agency inp ut. PEL Study alternatives will initially be developed based on secondary source or available environmental and community data, and will be refined through agency and public input and other on-going studies. Environmental and community data will be updated for the refined corridors through photo interpretation and selected ground-truthing. The intent of the PEL Study analysis is not to identify impacts, but rather to identify potential roadblocks for those PEL Study alternatives which provide the best balance in meeting the Purpose and Need and avoiding/minimizing the potential to affect resources during subsequent study phases. The Study will be developed and docume nted in a form that can be incorporated by reference, as appropriate, in subsequent NEPA document(s) as outlined in Appendix X to 23 CFR Part 450 – Linking the Transportation Planning and NEPA Processes. All final deliverables identified in this contract will be of such quality that they could be incorporated directly or by reference into these NEPA documents.

Existing Environmental Conditions X Conduct an environmental scan and list of critical environmental issues within the corridor that include the fo llowing tasks: • Map key environmental resources and prepare a list of environmental issues. Include the following based, as appropriate, based on available information: – Floodways and 100-year flood plain boundaries – Likely locations of wetlands – Known Archaeological and Paleontological sites – Mines – Hazardous waste sites – Community or public wells – Historical buildings, sites, and districts – Rivers and lakes (identifying any designated wild and scenic rivers) – National forests 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 15 – Wildlife reserves – Critical wildlife habitat – Threatened and endangered species (locations or likely presence) – Public parks – Barrier effect – Pedestrian and bicycle access – Noise – Air Quality – Land use -Soils and geology • Identify those areas expected to require further analysis for NEPA purposes. • Prepare an environmental scan report to be included in the existing conditions report for TOV, CDOT, and public review. • Identify and describe any features that may require context sensitivity. Expected Products (Results) • An environmental scan map of key socioeconomic and environmental resources; • A list of environmental issues within the corridor, and identification of areas that require further analysis. • A report section summarizing the results of the research of land uses and other characteristics of the region. The report should include: – Community profile, including population, growth trends, and employment trends, for use in future forecasts – Current land uses – Key environmental resources, which are anticipated to include water resources/stream/riparian areas and noise d. Existing conditions summary X Summarize findings of existing roadway conditions in a graphical plan set (Geometric Health Report). Plans (11" x 17", scale: 1" = 200') will be based on aerial photography of the project limits. A ranking system (Low/Medium/High) will be used to compare existing conditions to the specific design criteria for the project limits. Location of comparisons will be charted and indicated on the plan set. The Geometric Health Report and supporting summary information will be included in the existing roadway structures section of the Existing Conditions Report.. A summary of findings from the initial geology and initial utility investigatio ns will be included in the Existing Conditions Report (see Section 9.1.A Preliminary Data Submission). B. Traffic Study a. Traffic data collection X The TOV shall obtain current traffic counts for the project limits and surrounding roadway network impacted by the project to evaluate the existing traffic operations. Available traffic data shall be compiled from various state and municipal sources including CDOT automated traffic recorder locations. The TOV shall conduct a traffic count program to facilitate level of service evaluation at the I-70/W Vail (Exit 173) and I-70/Main Vail (Exit 176) interchanges. b. Travel demand forecasting X Travel demand modeling shall begin at the same time as data collection. The 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 16 modeling will make use of an already prepared TRAFFIX model developed for the Town’s Transportation Plan. The consultant will resurrect the model including the various parameters and land use quantities already inherent within its workings. Key parameters such as trip generation rates, distribution percentages, background traffic growth among others will be vetted with the technical working group. Adjustments will be made as appropriate, with land use data to be checked and updated on a Travel Analyses Zone (TAZ) by the Town. The model is configured so as to estimate trips from all new development or redevelopment and the results are combined with set of background traffic numbers. The model will be a critical tool in developing 2035 AM and PM peak hour turning movement forecasts at the interchange ramp intersections (Main Vail and West Vail) as well as other key intersections located along the frontage roads between these interchanges. Also incorporated into the model will be an assessment of traffic re-routing to account for a new I-70 underpass in the Simba Run area assuming this is a potential alternative. Results of this model “run” will be a tool in developing turning movements at the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges as well as creating AM and PM turning movement projections at the new underpass intersections with the frontage roads. It should noted that the model is current configured for PM analyses, and AM peak hour traffic will require additional effort relative to entering the parameters and configuring it for an AM peak hour “run”. Results of the modeling will be combined with AM and PM peak hour background traffic at the interchange ramp intersections as well as the underpass intersections with the frontage road (for the underpass alternative), yield total 2035 traffic projections. c. Traffic operations X Traffic operational analysis will include an evaluation of the existing conditions as well as a 2035 analysis for the No-Action and preferred set of alternatives. It is anticipated that Sidra will be used for evaluation of roundabout operations. However, various analytical roundabout tools are available for use. The consultant will assess existing conditions using Sidra, HCS, and Rodel. Results of the three will be compared and discussed with the project team, and the tool that is deemed producing the most appropriate results with actual conditions will be used. To the extent the analysis software allows, adjustment factors will be incorporated as needed to better replicate known conditions at the roundabout intersections. d. Pedestrian and bicycle Facilities X The consultant shall also analyze existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities for safety, adequacy, connectivity, and American with Disabilities Act Accessibility requirements and make recommendations for improvements. C. Safety Assessment Report X The consultant shall obtain all available Safety Assessment Reports from CDOT which identify existing safety problems within the project limits, available on the CDOT website. In the alternatives evaluation portion of the PEL Study , and any other sections 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 17 that pertain to Safety, the consultant shall specifically identify how the "Build" alternatives propose to mitigate the existing safety problems. The Safety Assessment Report recently completed by CDOT will be used for the PEL Study. CDOT shall provide all data and statistical summaries necessary to complete the report. TASK 2 WORK PRODUCT: Existing Conditions Report which presents the finding from the Responsibilities described above in a clear and concise manner. A summary of relevant comments and key issues received at resource agency, stakeholder, and public meetings will be included, as appropriate. The Existing Conditions Report will be submitted to the Project Team for initial review and comment. It will then be revised to address comments from the Project Team, and then be retained in draft form for use and in preparing the Purpose and Need and the PEL Report. Relevant portions of the Existing Conditions Report will be incorporated into the PEL Report, either as chapters or appendices as appropriate. 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 18 2 TASK 3: DEVELOP A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND NEED AND IDENTIFY GOALS FOR THE INTERCHANGE Develop an Executive Summary containing the following: X a. Identify the visions TOV and CDOT have for the future of the Frontage Roads and points of disagreement and congruence. b. Refer to data identified in the Existing Conditions Report regarding existing and expected deficiencies in the transportation system serving the study area to compile a list of system deficiencies. Where possible, locate the deficiencies on a base map for use at the public meetings. c. Reference the list of issues that resulted from contacts with stakeholders and general knowled ge of the corridor to identify a list of key needs in the corridor. d. Prepare a preliminary list of existing and anticipated deficiencies at the interchanges and Frontage Roads. The list should describe the existing or anticipated deficiencies in the transportation system and the growth or changing needs in the study area. Prepare visual displays summarizing data compiled to date. Include key factors including the preliminary list of deficiencies already identified. e. Produce a written statement of purpose and need. This statement should be an "umbrella" statement for the interchanges and Frontage Roads, based on identification of needs and deficiencies. The statement should reflect the context sensitivity of the study area's communities to help reach their transportation goals by encouraging the consideration of land use, transportation, environmental and infrastructure needs in an integrated manner. It should include the following: a Description of project location, length, termini, and a definition of the project stud y area. b Description of existing transportation facilities and services, including transit, highway, bus service, bicycles and pedestrian, etc. c Identification of specific transportation problems and deficiencies (interchange, highway, pedestrian, bicycle, travel times, and transit). d System linkage information. e Social, economic, and environmental justice issues related to purpose and need. f Safety problems. g A summary of previous and current transportation studies community plans, and planning efforts relevant to the project. h. Identify goals for the project. TASK 3 WORK PRODUCT: An Executive Summary of purpose and need which presents the findings from the tasks described above in a clear and concise manner. A summary of relevant comments and key issues received at resource agency, stakeholder, and public meetings will be included, as appropriate. The Executive Summary of purpose and need will be submitted to the Project Team for initial review and comment. It will then be revised to address comments from the Project Team, and then be retained in draft form for use and in preparing the PEL Report. The Executive Summary of purpose and need will be incorporated as a chapter in the PEL Report, with refinements through the course of the study as appropriate. 3 TASK 4: PLANNING ENVIRONMENTAL LINKAGE REPORT A. Alternatives Analysis a. Develop Preliminary Evaluation Criteria Prior to development of reasonable alternatives, the Consultant will work with TOV and the Stakeholders to develop preliminary evaluation criteria and submit criteria to FHWA for review. Established criteria will be used to evaluate and screen the list of potential preliminary alternatives. 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 19 b. Develop Alternative X Building on previous studies and planning efforts, the Consultant shall develop an agreed number of alternatives which will satisfy the operational requirements and goals of the project. Alternatives will be developed, screened and refined through a stepwise process adding additional detail through each successive step as follows: Level 1 – Building on previous studies and planning efforts, develop and screen a broad range of alternatives to identify those alternatives with the potential to address the project purpose and need. Alternatives will be developed as concept diagrams, with the location of major structures noted. It is anticipated that approximately 6 to 10 alternatives will be evaluated in Level 1. Screening in Level 1will be done on the basis of the ability of the alternative to meet the purpose and need, either as a stand along alternative or combined with another alternative(s). Fatal flaw environmental or community impacts may be considered in Level 1 to the extent that they are apparent. Level 2 – Alternatives advanced in Level 1 will be further developed in Level 2 as conceptual designs, identifying basic geometry, structure needs, approximate toes of slope, and relative order of magnitude costs. It is anticipated that 3-4 alternative packages will be evaluated in Level 2. Screening in Level 2 will be based on operational and safety performance, using the purpose and need goals. Key environmental/community measures and relative cost will also be considered in Level 2 screening. Level 2 screening will identify a recommended alternative or alternatives for more detailed evaluation in Level 3. Level 3 – The recommended alternative or alternatives emerging from Level 2 screening will be further evaluated in Level 3 through initial design, as described in section g below. It is anticipated that 1-2 alternative packages will undergo initial design. Initial design will provide additional detail, allowing preliminary cost estimates to be prepared and construction sequencing and phasing opportunities to be considered. When required, conceptual layouts will be developed for major structures for each alternative. The alternatives shall address the project goals and objectives, account for potential impacts and identify possible resource avoidance/minimization measures, and any necessary roadway improvements to intercha nges and the Frontage Roads within the study area. The Consultant shall investiga te configurations that satisfy the project’s goals and objectives. Conceptual layouts will be developed for each with all major structures both in plan and general profile views. These alternatives shall respond to projected design year traffic volumes as developed in the traffic study data collection. The Consultant will evaluate the impacts of each alternative concept and the degree that each accomplishes the goals and objectives of the study (Level 2). The appropriateness of each alternative will be reviewed and evaluated b y the TOV, CDOT, FHWA, and other jurisdictions as appropriate. The Consultant shall complete an initial design of the alterna tives (Level 3) decided upon by the TOV, CDOT, FHWA, and other jurisdictions as appropriate. General profile and cross sections analysis will be developed for all critical areas to analyze each designated alternative. Information is to include general cut and fill limits, ROW and easement requirements, necessary earthwork and structural construction requirements. The design parameters, such as design speed, maximum grades, and typical section will be determined at the beginning and used on each alternative. The Consultant shall prepare the conceptual design for each interchange configuration including alignments, construction detours that will be needed, and major structural requirements so that a conceptual cost estimate can be developed. The cost estimate is to include design costs, ROW identification and acquisition, and construction costs. c. Screen Alternatives X 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 20 The Consultant sha ll utilize a NEPA-appropriate screening process on the universe of alternatives to identify the feasible and significantly different alternatives, whic h will be later subject to a more detailed NEPA environmental assessment. The purpose of this screening is to eliminate the obviously infeasible alternatives or alternatives that do not meet the Purpose and Need. The Consultant shall develop NEPA-appropriate evaluation criteria and submit them for review and approval by TOV, CDOT and FHWA prior to beginning the screening process. The rationale for elimination shall be thoroughly discussed within the NEPA documentation for those alternatives that are eliminated from further consideration. The No-Action Alternative must be defined and carried through the entire evaluation and assessment process. A stepwise screening process will be used, through which the level of analysis detail becomes greater as the number of alternatives is reduced. A preliminary screening process (Level 1) will be used on the universe of alternatives to identify a limited number of feasible and significantly different alternatives, which will be subject to more detailed evaluation in the "Test Alternatives Analysis" (Level 2). The purpose of Level 1 screening is to eliminate the obviously infeasible or unsuitable alternates. The Level 1 screening will be conducted using concept diagrams, and screening will be based on the ability of the alternative to meet the purpose and need. All feasible and significantly different options shall be carried forward into more detailed analysis. These feasible and significantly different screened alternatives are to be presented in the first public workshop, and the public’s opinion on what issues should be addressed during the detailed (Level 2) analysis of these alternatives is to be solicited. The criteria used in the preliminary screening shall be developed jointly with the TOV, CDOT, and FHWA.. The Consultant sha ll perform a decision alternative analysis for each alternative in Level 2 screening. The decision alternative analysis shall utilize a decision matrix of compiled (data collection phase) information, using criteria developed and approved by the TOV, CDOT, and FHWA. The decision matrix criteria shall include operational and safety performance, design components, cost (financial analysis), social-economic, and environmental concerns. The decision alternative matrix will be compiled to show the differences between each alternative interchange location in a clear fashion (to be understood by the general public). Environmental (air, noise, water quality, open space, etc.), historic and archaeological impacts, cost, engineering feasibility, co nstruction staging op tions, transportation impacts, transit impacts, design year level of service and other performance measures, socioeconomic impacts and community acceptability, consistency with and/or impact on adopted plans, urban design issues and opportunities, and phasing of a improvements are examples of the considerations to be used in the Level 2 screening process. The No- Build alternative must be carried through the entire evaluation and assessment process. A limited number of conceptual alternatives, will be described in an alternatives analysis technical memorandum to be incorporated into the PEL Report. For this limited set of alternatives, horizontal and vertical alignment studies, at a scale of 1"=200', will be conducted. Conceptual and initial design will be conducted using existing TOV and/or CDOT topographic surveying, supplemented where needed. 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 21 d. Preliminary Sketches The Consultant shall develop preliminary sketch concepts of structures and landscape/streetscape improvements. The Consultant shall develop plan and elevation drawings of interchange structures with urban design features, planting masses, and plan access and development potential of adjacent areas X e. Before and After Views X The consultant shall develop a perspective view of the alternatives in a "before" and "after" illustration of existing features and proposed design. f. T est Alternatives Analysis (Level 2 screening) X Following the development of the short-list of alternatives in Level 1, the Consultant shall perform a comprehensive test of each of the short-listed alternatives. This test shall utilize a decision process, which includes a compilation of all appropriate criteria. In addition to the socioeconomic and environmental concerns, the decision criteria shall include design standards. The criteria will be compiled in coordination with other activities. Following that, a decision matrix shall be created which combines a list of the alternatives under consideration with the results of the test with each criterion. The alternatives shall then be further developed with initial design and financial analysis. g. Initial Design of Alternatives (Level 3) X Once the alternatives have been tested, general profile and cross section studies will be developed for critical areas to analyze the designated alternatives. This information shall be sufficient to determine general cut and fill limits, right-of-way and easement requirements, earthwork and structural requirements. Design parameters such as design speeds, maximum grades, typical sections, intersection and pedestrian routing will be determined at the beginning of the study. The conceptual designs for the roadways, detours, phasing, and major structures will be completed sufficiently so that preliminary cost estimates can be developed and the satisfaction of pertinent design criteria can be demonstrated. Necessary variances will be identified. The following shall be availab le following completion of the design: • Plan and profile of roadways and detours • Typical sections of roadways and detours • Preliminary hydraulic recommendations • Preliminary right-of-way requirements • Reco mmended construction sequence • Phasing opportunities h. Financial Analysis of Alternatives i Cost Estimate X A total preliminary cost estimate will be developed in whole or phases of improvement if feasible, for the Level 3 alternative(s). Preliminary and final engineering, ROW, construction engineering, construction, and maintenance for the design life will be analyzed and included in the preliminary cost estimate. 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 22 ii Funding Package X A funding package will be developed in whole or phases of improvement if feasible, for the Level 3 alternative(s). The funding sources necessary to construct and maintain the project will be identified and evaluated for appropriateness and feasibility. B. Feasibl e Alternatives Recommendation X The PEL Study Report will document the analysis process. This shall include socioeconomic and environmental co ncerns, utility conflicts, drainage, and right-of- way requirements, and preliminary planning level cost for the recommended alternatives. The Consultant is responsible for ensuring that the recommended alternative(s) complies with applicable standards and criteria. Where appropriate, required variances will be identified. A draft report shall be submitted for review and co mment prior to the submittal of the final report. C. Interim Improvements Operational Analysis X The Consultant shall complete the tasks listed in the Alternatives Analysis section on the previous pages in order to provide feasible alternatives to recommend and prioritize operational improvements for the existing interchange that may be implemented in phases that do not preclude the ultimate configuratio n. This will be performed for the recommended alternative or alternatives only. TASK 4 WORK PRODUCT: PEL Study Report which presents the results of the finding from the Responsibilities above in a clear and concise manner. The PEL Study Report will be submitted to the Project Team for initial review and comment. The PEL Study Report will then be revised and submitted to FHWA for review and comment. A summary of relevant comments and key issues received at resource agency, stakeholder, and public meetings will be included, as appropriate. The PEL Study Report will be finalized following the second public meeting. 5/7/2013 Revised April 24, 2013 23 SECTION 8 CONTRACT CONCLUSION (CHECKLIST) 1 SUPPLEMENTAL WORK It is anticipated that this contract may be suppleme nted for additional study and/or design efforts above any assumed quantities noted in the current contract scope.

Often, there is no overlap in personnel between the planning and NEPA phases of a project, and much (or all) of the histor y of decisions, etc., is lost. Different planning processes take projects through analysis at different levels of detail. Without knowing how far, or in how much detail a planning study went, NEPA project teams often re-do work that has alread y been done. Planning teams need to be cautious during the alternative screen process; alternative screening should focus on purpose and need/corridor vision, fatal flaw analysis and possibly mode selection. This may help minimize problems during discussions with resource agencies. Alternatives that have fatal flaws or do not meet the purpose and need/corridor vision cannot be considered viable alternatives, even if they reduce impacts to a particular resource. This questionnaire is consistent with the 23 CFR 450 (Planning regulations) and other FHWA policy on Planning and Environmental Linkage process. Instructions: These questions should be used as a guide throughout the planning process, not just answered near completion of the process. When a PEL study (i.e. corridor study) is started, this questionnaire will be given to the project team. Some of the basic questions to consider are: "What did you do?", "What didn't you do?" and "Why?” When the team submits the study to FHWA for review, the completed questionnaire will be included with the submittal. FHWA will use this questionnaire to assist in determining if an effective PEL process has been applied before NEPA processes are authorized to begin. The questionnaire should be included in the planning document as an executive summary, chapter, or appendix. 1.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this public hearing is to follow up on the input provided during the Vail Town Council public hearing on April 16, 2013, and to seek direction on a number of key issues related to the master plan for Ford Park. During this public hearing much of the discussion will focus on the proposed goals/objectives/policies for the future planning of Ford Park and the concept of sub areas to implement the plan recommendations. ATTACHMENTS: Staff Memorandum Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Update Illustrative Plan Illustrative Plan Illustrative Plan Illustrative Plan 5/7/2013 1 MEMORANDUM To: Vail Town Council From: George Ruther, Community Development Director Date: May 7, 2013 Subject: 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan I. Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to follow up on the input provided during the Vail Town Council public hearing on the proposed Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan on April 16, 2103. To aid in the discussion, this memorandum provides a draft “work in progress” version of the proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan (attached) and a series of questions which must be addressed to advance the master planning process forward. II. Discussion Goals The goal 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: 1. A format for the proposed 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan has been recommended. The proposed format creates a compilation of the 1974 Vail Plan, 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, the 1997 Ford Park Management Plan, and the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendment. This format was suggested as it ensures the relevant and important information contained in each of the planning documents is carried forward into the new, consolidated master plan document. To date, the four of the nine chapters of the new master plan have been developed in a draft form. The draft chapters include Introduction, Goals/ Objectives/ Policies/Action Steps, Ford Park Sub Areas, and Illustrative Plans. These chapters were selected as they contain the more important information that will be included in the plan. Does the Town Council agree with the goal statements proposed by the plan? The objectives statements? The policy statements? What, if any, additional input does the Town Council have with regard to these statements at this time. 2. The concept of sub area planning within Ford Park has been further developed. It is contemplated that 6 sub areas for planning purposes will be created. The following factors where considered in the delineation of the sub areas: existing uses, proposed or allowable uses, lease areas, compatibility and adjacency of uses, relationship of uses, goals/policies/objectives of the master plan, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, proximity to park amenities, recommendations of prior planning efforts, etc. Does the Town Council agree with the areas identified on the draft sub areas plan? Are there any areas which need to be amended, altered or eliminated? Are there any proposed uses currently being contemplated within each of the respective sub areas that should be added or removed? 5/7/2013 2 3. The boundaries of Ford Park are proposed to be expanded. The proposed expansion is consistent with the recommendations of the 2009 Vail Village Master Plan Update (VVMP). According to the VVMP, GOAL #4 TO PRESERVE EXISTING OPEN SPACE AREAS AND EXPAND GREENSPACE OPPORTUNITIES. Objective 4.1: Improve existing open space areas and create new plazas with greenspace and pocket parks. Recognize the different roles of each type of open space in forming the overall fabric of the Village. Policy 4.1.1: Active recreation facilities shall be preserved (or relocated to accessible locations elsewhere in the Village) in any development or redevelopment of property in Vail Village. Policy 4.1.2: The development of new public plazas, and improvements to existing plazas (public art, landmarks, historic features, streetscape features, seating areas, etc.) shall be strongly encouraged to reinforce their roles as attractive people places. Policy 4.1.3: With the exception of ski base-related facilities, existing natural open space areas at the base of Vail Mountain and throughout Vail Village and existing greenspaces shall be preserved as open space. Policy 4.1.4: Open space improvements including the addition of accessible greenspace as described or graphically shown in the Vail Village Master Plan and/or Urban Design Guide Plan, will be required in conjunction with private infill or redevelopment projects. Objective 4.2: Improve and expand the opportunity for active and passive recreational activity throughout the Village. Policy 4.2.1: Continue the implementation of the Ford Park Master Plan as this will provide important recreational opportunities to residents and guests. GOAL #4 Action Steps: 1. Develop pocket parks with passive recreational improvements including benches, paths, children's play facilities and stream access in appropriate Town-owned parcels. 2. Evaluate additional opportunities for the purchase of additional parcels for open space and/or public use. 3. Explore the "Mill Creek Retail Area" as part of the Village Streetscape Project. (Completed) 4. Connect streamwalks to other walkways and pocket parks in order to integrate and enhance the total pedestrian network. 5. Revegetate and restore disturbed areas along stream tracts. 6. Improve or remove the Willow Bridge pedestrian bridge. 7. Restore the Town snow dump, including stream tract, to its natural state. 5/7/2013 3 8. Explore the feasibility of expanding Ford Park to the west to Vail Valley Drive and/or Slifer Plaza along the Gore Creek stream tract to provide improved pedestrian and handicapped access to the Park. 9. Identify opportunities to improve and enhance the forest health within and immediately around Vail Village to mitigate the damage caused by the pine beetle and similar tree diseases and infestations. 10. Continue to develop and implement wildland interface initiatives aimed at reducing the threat of the loss of property and life due to the risk of wildland fires. Does the Town Council approve the expansion of the boundaries of Ford Park as recommended by the Vail Village Master Plan? Should the expansion be included in the 2013 master plan document? If so, plan recommendations will be proposed for this area consistent with the Town’s planning documents and development objectives. III. 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 21st with additional 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. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 1 D R A F T 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Update April 30, 2013 Part 1 - INTRODUCTION “Whereas, President Gerald R. Ford has brought to the Town of Vail his interest and encouragement; has shown through his private life and public life a commitment to recreation, the environment and places set aside therefor; and believes that a statement of the community’s appreciation and respect for Gerald R. Ford is appropriate and called for; that the property commonly referred to as the Anholtz Ranch is hereby named the Gerald R. Ford Park.” Resolution approved by Vail Town Council, January 18, 1977 Purpose of this Plan The Town of Vail acquired the 39 acre Anholtz Ranch in 1973 for the stated purpose of “improving the quality of life in the community”. Since that time the property has evolved into one of Vail’s primary community focal points, providing recreational and cultural facilities and programs that serve the needs of residents and guest of Vail. This evolution was originally outlined by one of Vail’s earliest planning efforts: “The intended use program is a comprehensive one and eventually the park will include an impressive number of facilities in addition to extensive open turf space and the delight of the natural earth forms and mature tree growth adjacent to Gore Creek”. The Vail Plan, 1974 The goal of this effort is to create a plan that will maintain the essence of what Ford Park is today and what was envisioned for the Park in 1974 – a balance of open space coupled with recreational and cultural uses and facilities that serve the needs of residents and guests of Vail. Over the past forty years the Town has completed four planning efforts for the Park. To varying degrees these plans have directly influenced the development of Ford Park and 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 2 each has contributed to the role of the Park in how it serves the community. These previous planning efforts were: 1973 Vail Plan – while the primary purpose of this plan was to address a broader discussion of Vail’s growth and development, it did include a chapter on recreation and defined at a very broad level the role Ford Park could play in providing recreational, cultural and community-oriented uses. Ford Park was described as a “major community park-cultural center”. 1985 Gerald R. Ford Park/Donovan Park Master Plan Development Final Report – at the time this plan was prepared ballfields, tennis courts, parking had already been developed and construction of the an amphitheater had commenced. The purpose of this plan was to “guide the future development of the park and establish guidelines for the implementation of improvements”. Public input sessions and a community survey were completed in order to define the park master plan. 1997 Ford Park Management Plan – this plan was initiated in response to several development proposals for the Park. The plan was a product of extensive focus group and public input sessions and in essence served as an amendment to the 1985 plan. Contrary to a master plan, a management plan was created as a means for evaluating development proposals, limiting development and protecting the character of the Park. 2012 Update to the Final Report Ford Park Management Plan – this plan was done to reflect new ideas for improvements planned for the Park that were initiated when Vail voters approved funding by re-allocating a portion of the Convention Center Funds to Ford Park. The 2012 Plan was intended to continue the overall direction of the Park that had been established over the prior 30 years. More detailed summaries of the reasons these previous planning efforts were initiated and there outcome is found in Section 3 of this Plan. The impetus for each of these planning efforts may have been prompted by different factors. However, each of these planning processes involved debate, sometimes controversy, but in all cases was done with great passion for the Park as the Vail community has worked to find a balance between development and use of the Park and the preservation of this lands special features and the unique role it plays in the community. The outcome of each of these each planning efforts were meant to 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 3 implement the original vision for the park as outlined in the statement above from the 1974 Vail Plan The 2013 Ford Park Master Plan presents a compilation of these previously planning efforts along with new direction and ideas that have evolved from this latest planning effort. The primary objectives of this planning effort were to: • Incorporate key elements of previously completed plans for Ford Park into one document, specifically those guiding principles that have successfully shaped the development of the Park from its inception, • Establish clear expectations for the future land uses, development and management of the Park, • Define effective tools for decision-making regarding the future of the Park, and • Provide a single, comprehensive document to serve as the master plan for Ford Park. Elements of this Plan This Plan includes the following parts: 1. Introduction The section provides an introduction to the plan, the purpose of this planning effort and outlines the major elements of the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan 2. Site Assessment and Existing Conditions The Ford Park site assessment and summary of existing conditions is based largely on the site assessment from the 1985 Plan and current observations of the Park. 3. History of the Park and Previous Planning Efforts The 1997 Plan has provided the basis for this history and background of the Park and the summaries of the four previous planning efforts that have taken place. Site plans of the Park produced during these planning efforts are to provide a history and context for how the Park has evolved over the years. 4. Goals, Objectives, Policies and Action Steps 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 4 While he 1997 Plan provided a framework for this section, the goals, objectives, policies and actions steps have been re-organized and refined to better express the current direction for the future of the Park. 5. Ford Park Sub-Areas Seven Sub-areas of the park have been defined and are used as a forum for discussion of specifically how the Park will be managed and to provide clarity on potential future improvements within the Park. Sub-areas address distinct areas of the Park, where improvements or changes may be acceptable, where changes may not be appropriate, and outline expectations for if change is to occur how it should occur. 6. Illustrative Plan The 2013 Illustrative Plan is a refinement of the illustrative plan from the 2012 Plan, it depicts existing improvements and at a diagrammatic level improvements that may occur in the future. 7. Design Criteria The 1985 Plan included design criteria to be used to evaluate building, site and landscape improvements proposed for the Park. Criteria in this Plan reflect a refined version of the 8. Park Management Elements of park management from the 1997 Plan are provided in this section. 9. Appendix 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 5 Part 2 - SITE ASSESSMENT/EXISTING CONDITIONS This section is under development and will be completed in the near future. This section will largely be derived from the site description/evaluation section from the ’85 Plan, updated as necessary. Section to include: • Site context • Site characteristics/influences • Surrounding uses Plans/Graphics Map defining boundary of Park (new) Existing Site Conditions Map (potentially use map from ’85 Plan) 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 6 Part 3 - HISTORY OF FORD PARK and PREVIOUS PLANNING EFFORTS This section is under development and will be completed in the near future. This section will largely be derived from the background section of the 1997 Plan and updated as necessary. Sections to include: • History of the park • Summary of the 1974 Vail Plan (related to recreation and Ford Park) • 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 for 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 has largely defined what the Park is today; that there are no thoughts of re-visiting the overall vision for the Park, nor is there an interest in making major changes to the character or facilities in the Park. • Summarize 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 context/historic perspective, site plans from the 1974 and 1985 Plans will be included in this section. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 7 Part 4 - GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND ACTION STEPS The community’s goals for Ford Park are summarized in six major goal statements and within each goal statement are objectives, policies and action steps. Each goal statement focuses on particular aspects of Ford Park that were discussed during previous master planning efforts for the Park and this 2013 Ford Park Master Plan update process. These prior planning efforts include: The 1973 Vail Plan A portion of this plan addresses Ford Park and while the plan did not include formal goal, objective and policy statements it does describe what the community expected to accomplish with the purchase of the Anholtz property and the subsequent creation of Ford Park. 1985 Ford Park Master Plan This plan did not include formal goal, objective and policy statements. However, a number of goals and objectives for the Park can be drawn from the narrative of the Plan. Those goals objectives were reaffirmed by the Town Council in 2013. 1997 Ford Park Management Plan This planning effort was the first to include formally stated goals, objectives, policies and action steps. These statements were an outcome of input received from stakeholders and from the community during the preparation of the 1997 Management Plan and they provided the framework from which the goals, objectives and policies in the 2013 Plan were created. Goal statements from the 1997 Plan have been expanded to express the intention of the 1973 and 1985 Plans and to incorporate the outcome of community input from the 2013 update process. The goal statements were written to be consistent with and complementary to each other. They are to be used to provide a framework, or direction, for decisions regarding the management and use of Ford Park. A series of objectives following each goal statement outline specific steps that should be taken toward achieving each stated goal. Policy statements are intended to guide decision-making in achieving each of the stated objectives. By way of example these would be utilized in evaluating any development proposal or when implementing capital improvement programs. Action steps involve specific actions to be taken in implementing the goal and objective statements. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 8 Goal #1: To ensure that the natural features of the Park are preserved and that the Park is protected from over use and the introduction of new uses or new facilities that will diminish the overall experience of park users.

The Park shall be as pedestrian-friendly as possible. Policy Statement 1: Any uses added to Ford Park in the future shall be structured to encourage users or participants to walk or ride the bus rather than drive. Action Step 5.2.1: Implement improvements to the Gore Creek Trail and Frontage Road sidewalks that will improve safety, correct grading, surfacing, and lighting. Action Step 5.2.2: Provide rest/sitting areas along pedestrian routes to the Park. Action Step 5.2.3: Establish gateways or portals (signage/monuments/landscape elements, etc.) at the main entries to the Park (Frontage Road, Gore Creek Trail, Manor Vail, Vail Valley Drive, Parking/Transit area). Objective 5.3: Improve internal pedestrian circulation within Ford Park. Action Step 5.3.1: Improve pedestrian paths to define entries and enhance pedestrian connections between the Upper and Lower bench areas of the park. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 18 Goal #6: Delineate financial responsibilities among Ford Park leaseholders and the Town of Vail. Objective 6.1: Formalize existing division of facility management/operation costs. Policy Statement 1: All Ford Park leaseholders and the Town of Vail shall be required to share in common operating costs that benefit the whole park facility and as outlined in current lease or license agreements. These include but are not limited to, electrical charges for pedestrian path and parking lot lighting, trash removal charges, and regular parking lot and pedestrian path maintenance costs. Action Step 6.1.1: Research current lease, license and use agreements for delineation of financial responsibilities. Action Step 6.1.2: Correct inequities in utility billing procedures and distribution systems, current utility use, and payment relationships. . Objective 6.2: Create a cost-sharing agreement for Capital Improvement costs. Policy Statement 1: Ford Park leaseholders and the Town of Vail desiring to make capital improvements within their respective lease areas shall be required to provide funding for those improvements and for subsequent modifications to those areas outside of the lease area caused by those improvements. Policy Statement 2: Services, functions, and programs provided by Ford Park leaseholders, by bringing visitors to the community, generate sales tax revenues which contribute General Fund funding sources. Residents of the community which participate in those programs, contribute to the Real Estate Transfer Tax funding source through real estate transactions. Both of these funding sources can be utilized by the Town of Vail to pay for capital projects and improvements within Ford Park, reducing the need for contributions from the leaseholders. Action Step 6.2.1: Create and maintain a five year capital improvements program for Ford Park. Action Step 6.2.2: Establish the benefit/cost relationship for capital projects to determine appropriate cost sharing agreements. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 19 Part 5 - FORD PARK SUB-AREAS The topography of the old Anholtz Ranch is typical of a western Colorado riverfront ranch – a broad expanse of flat land adjacent the river corridor and an upper terrace elevated above the river. In the early years of Ford Park these two distinct areas came to be referred to as the “Upper Bench” and “Lower Bench”. “The basic structure of Ford Park is comprised of two broad terraces, or benches a locally referred to, which step down the north side of the Gore Creek and it typical of mountain, valley and stream physiography” 1985 Ford Park Master Plan Ford Park topography/1985 Early plans for Ford Park (the Vail Plan) included recreation-oriented uses (and more buildings) on the Upper Bench with passive open space and an amphitheater on the Lower Bench. Initial development of the Park involved athletic fields, tennis courts and parking facilities on the Upper Bench. Decisions on locating these uses on the Upper Bench were made based on the terrain (availability of flat land) and accessibility to the Frontage Road. Passive open space and development of an amphitheater were created on the Lower Bench. These plans and the initial development of the Park reinforced this Upper Bench/Lower Bench distinction. Over time the Upper Bench came to be regarded as “recreation-oriented” while the Lower Bench was regarded as being more oriented to cultural uses. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 20 The athletic use characterization of the Upper Bench and the cultural use characterization of the Upper and Lower Benches remain valid today, and the terms Upper Bench and Lower Bench provide a good, albeit generalized reference to the Park. However, to discuss the future of Ford Park in terms of just the Upper and Lower Bench does not acknowledge the many subtleties and distinctions throughout Ford Park that need to be considered in this master planning process. It is for this reason the Ford Park Master Plan utilizes sub-areas to more clearly articulate the goals and objectives for specific areas of the Park. Primary purpose of this master plan is to establish expectations the future of Ford Park, specifically how the Park will be managed and where, when and what type of improvements to facilities, programs and uses may be acceptable in the future. Sub- areas provide a forum for this discussion - a means for defining distinct areas of the Park, where improvements or changes may be acceptable and where they may not be, and outlining expectations for if change is to occur how it should occur. The seven Sub-areas described below were defined based primarily on existing uses within the Park. In some cases Sub-areas define one single use, i.e. the Amphitheater and Alpine Gardens Sub-areas. In other cases Sub-Areas include a number of related uses, i.e. the Gore Creek Preservation and Lower Common Sub-areas. In most cases the pedestrian corridors that link the sub-areas and facilitate the movement of people throughout the Park are used as boundaries between Sub-areas and not included in the Sub-areas themselves. The use of sub-areas to better understand how the Park functions and to express how the Park may change in the future is not an attempt to “divide” the Park. With Ford Park the adage “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” clearly applies. Rather, the Sub-areas provide an effective means for discussing the multitude of unique areas of the Park in the context of the goals and objectives for the entire Park 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 21 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 22 Parking/Transit Sub-Area The Parking/Transit Sub-Area provides the only on-site parking for the main portion of the Park and also includes a transit stop, a passenger car drop-off area and a central trash/storage facility. Strategically located along the Frontage Road on the periphery of other park facilities and uses, this Sub-Area plays a vital role in how the Park “works” by separating parking and vehicles from other areas of the Park. The transit facility is a key component of the Park in providing direct bus service to the Town’s parking structures (which provide parking for “peak” demand days at the Park). This parking/transit concept had its origins in the original planning of the Park. “This major community park-cultural center will contain parking for over 200 cars and will also be served directly by the Town bus system. Major parking will be accommodated in the transportation center”. Vail Plan,1974 Since the mid-70’s the parking plan for Ford Park has been to provide “daily use” parking at the Park with parking for events to be provided at the Town’s parking structures. This idea remains valid today. Functional transit facilities along with pleasant, safe pedestrian corridors between the Park and the Village Parking Structure will ensure the on-going effectiveness of this parking plan. Prior to the 2012 Improvements to the athletic fields the Park had approximately 200 parking spaces. The field expansion required the removal of approximately 50 parking spaces. Redesign of remaining portions of the parking lot provides for approximately 200 parking spaces. The potential does existing to add a small number of additional spaces along the Frontage Road. The Frontage Road spaces, if pursued, would necessitate construction of a sidewalk and would also require CDOT review and approval. A “no net loss” policy is in effect for the 200 existing on-site parking at Ford Park. The re-designed parking lot was done such that the lot can continue to be used for concerts and other special events. It is anticipated that this use will continue. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 23 Future Improvements With recently completed improvements it is anticipated that the Parking/Transit Sub- Area will adequately address the needs of the Park for the foreseeable future. Improvements that may be considered in the future include: • Design and installation of monument-type entry features at the two pedestrian portals from the parking lot into the Park. • Additional “low-impact” parallel parking spaces along the Frontage Road. • Installation of traffic control devices at the east and west ends of Betty Ford Way. • Betty Ford Alpine Garden Educational Center at the southwest corner of the parking lot (refer to narrative on the Alpine Gardens Sub-Area below for more information on this potential improvement). The potential improvements listed above are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan. Active Recreation Sub-Area This Sub-Area is the focal point of active recreation at Ford Park. The location of these uses – proximate to the Frontage Road and parking, and removed from the lower meadow and Gore Creek Corridor is consistent with some of the earliest goals established for the Park. Over the years significant plantings have created a buffer between these active recreation uses and other surrounding uses. These buffers should be maintained and continually enhanced where necessary. Noise and other compatibility issues with use of the athletic fields and adjacent uses will need to continually be managed (refer to Section 8 of this Plan). 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 24 Future Improvements Improvement to this Sub-Area in 2012 and 2013 were extensive and included expansion and re-organization of the athletic fields, a new restroom/storage building and a new concession/restroom building. It is anticipated that these improvements will address the needs of this Sub-Area for the foreseeable future. The only immediate improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area are: • Design and installation of monument-type entry features at the two pedestrian portals from the parking lot into the Park. Lower Commons Sub-Area The Lower Commons Sub-Area plays an important role in the Park and also provides “structure” to the overall design of the Park. In doing so this Sub-Area also provides some of the Park’s most important and popular facilities. Collectively these facilities address a multitude of goals and objectives for the Park – provide sites for active recreation, provide sites for passive use and the quiet enjoyment of the Park, provide buffers between uses and contributes to maintaining the “open feeling” of the lower bench. This Sub-Area should be managed and used such that to continues to address these goals. There are no major changes contemplated to the three distinct, yet related uses that occur in this area. These three uses are: 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 25 Children’s Playground The playground is an immensely popular area of the park. This use should continue. While refinements and/or upgrading of play structures and facilities within the playground may be made in the future, the basic size or “footprint” of the playground should remain unchanged. The playground restrooms provide facilities for the entire Lower Bench and there is a need to upgrade these facilities in the near future in order to meet the demands of park users. When this occurs the restrooms should be sized to be no larger than necessary to meet the needs of park users. No other buildings are contemplated in the playground. Open Turf Area Aside from natural open space areas, the open turf area is the only area of the Park that is not “programed” with organized uses and activities. It is important that this area remains this way in the future. The area provides valuable space for picnics, rest and informal “games”. The turf area also provides an important buffer, or transition from the more actively developed areas of the Park and the Gore Creek Corridor. Given its proximity to Betty Ford Way, special consideration should be taken to prevent conflicts between park users and vehicles. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 26 The turf area should not be reduced in size and no buildings or structures that would diminish the use of this area should be permitted. In the past the southern end of the turf area has been used for temporary events (weddings, parties, etc.) that involve the placement of tents and other features within the turf area. These temporary uses encroach on the turf area and draw significant amounts of traffic into the Lower Bench. For these reasons these temporary events in the open turf area should be discontinued. The proposed public plaza at the Amphitheater may provide an alternative location for these temporary events. Creek Corridor The Creek Corridor is located between Betty Ford Way and Gore Creek. A few small structures (i.e. open air picnic shelter) are located in this area and the Arts in Public Places (AIPP) have placed permanent art along the creek corridor. AIPP also runs summer art programs in this area. The passive use and under-developed character of this area provides an appropriate transition to the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area. The use and character of this area should remain unchanged. No new buildings should be permitted. New art installations may be appropriate, however if pursued they should be done in a way that minimizes impacts on the site and other surrounding uses and facilities. Future Improvements This Sub-Area is fairly “established” and as such the need for future potential improvements is limited. The only improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area are: • Upgraded restroom facilities at the children’s playground. • Further enhance the buffer between the athletic fields and the children’s playground. The potential improvements listed above are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan. Amphitheater Sub-Area An outdoor amphitheater was contemplated in plans for Ford Park dating back to 1974 and the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater has evolved into Vail’s most prominent venue for music, dance and other cultural events. The facility is host to +/-60 events each summer and is one of Vail’s most important assets. Improvements to lawn seating and the expansion of bathrooms, ticketing facilities and other elements of the Amphitheater were initiated in 2012. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 27 Plans for transforming the existing Amphitheater entry to create a “public plaza” are under discussion. The Public Plaza is intended to provide a more gracious and more functional entry to the venue. The design intent and objective is to create a multi-use outdoor space that serves as the primary arrival for the Amphitheater as well as a pre- convene and post-function space during scheduled events. The Public Plaza could also provide a venue for smaller gatherings and events (in doing so provide a replacement for functions previously held on the neighboring open turf area) and also be open for public use when not being used for scheduled events. Compatibility of Amphitheater use and the use of the athletic fields has been an ongoing issue. It is important to continually monitor these uses to ensure compatibility between all park users is maintained. It is important to protect and enhance areas of existing vegetation in and around the Amphitheater and to continually improve the physical buffers between these uses. The Amphitheater is a significant generator of people and also generates a significant amount of vehicular traffic into the Lower Bench. This is in conflict with a number of goals and objectives for the Park. It is important for the Town and the Vail Valley Foundation to continue to work together to minimize vehicular traffic to the Amphitheater. No new uses or expansion of existing uses that would generate more vehicular traffic should be permitted at the Amphitheater. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 28 Future Improvements 2012 improvements made to the Amphitheater should address the needs of this Sub- Area for the foreseeable future. The only improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area are: • Development of a “Public Plaza” at the entry to the Amphitheater. There are a number of important parameters to be considered in the design and development of this improvement. These parameters are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan. Alpine Gardens Sub-Area The Alpine Gardens provides an important educational and experiential element of the Park. This facility is in keeping with one of the original goals for Ford Park to provide environmental/educational facilities. Over time the Gardens have become one of Vail’s most popular summer attractions. The Alpine Gardens has pursued the development of an alpine education center in the Park for a number of years. In the 1997 Plan the location for this facility was suggested to be within the Soccer Field Sub-Area. Due to this location being remote from the Gardens, there is interest in defining a suitable location for this building that is more proximate to the Gardens. Two potential locations within the main area of the Park are in the Parking/Transit Sub-Area and in the northern portion of the Alpine Gardens Sub- Area. A third potential site would be at the Soccer Field Sub-Area. There are potential pros and cons to each of these locations, both in terms of how they meet the needs of the Alpine Garden and how they may impact other uses and facilities in the Park. An alpine education center could be a great asset to the Park. The building would also be the most significant new use and new generator of activity the Park has seen in a number of years. It is critical that the location, design and operation of a new building address all applicable goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Plan. Specific parameters to be considered in evaluating potential sites that may be appropriate for this building, along with parameters on design and operation of the building are found in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 29 Future Improvements Potential future improvements to the Alpine include: • Development of an alpine garden educational center, and • Expansion of the gardens into the area immediately east of the “old school house”. There are a number of important parameters to be considered in the design and development of this improvement. These parameters are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 30 Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area The Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area includes the entire length of the Gore Creek Corridor and the +/-7 acre Nature Center. The boundary of the Sub-Area is defined by the park boundary on the south and a variety of site considerations on the north (100 year flood plain, creek setback and topography). Within the Sub-Area are Gore Creek, and associated wetland and riparian habitat. Improvements within the Sub-Area are limited to two bridges, utility improvements and the Nature Center. (Note – the 2013 Plan will include an extension of this Sub-Area to encompass the Gore Creek corridor to Slifer Square. This amendment is proposed by the 2009 Vail Village Master Plan Update. (Additional information on this amendment will be provided in subsequent refinements to this Plan). The Gore Creek corridor provides the Park’s most significant natural feature and its preservation is in direct response to a number of goals and objectives from previous planning efforts. Preservation of this area is also suggested by Goal #1 and Objective 1.3 of this Plan (see Section 3 of this Plan). The corridor provides a delightful setting for connecting with nature and for the quiet enjoyment of the Park. It is essential that adjacent uses respect this natural environment. The Children’s Garden area and the passive use of the portion of the Lower Commons Sub-Area adjacent to Gore Creek provide an effective buffer to other more intensive uses of the Park. It is important not only that these buffers be maintained but also that consideration be given to how any new use or facility within surrounding sub-areas could adversely affect the creek corridor. Within the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area it is intended that existing uses and improvements can be maintained, however, no new uses, improvements or buildings within this Sub-Area is to occur. Low-impact improvements such as soft surface walking paths, fishing access, creek/stream bank restoration projects, etc. may be permitted provided such improvements are done in a manner that minimizes impacts to the environment. Utilities, drainage improvements, additional creek crossings should not be initiated within the Preservation Zone unless no practical alternative is available. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 31 Fisherman access to Gore Creek, while currently not an issue (i.e. excessive use resulting in riparian area degradation), could become an issue in the future. A creek access point was considered at the east end of the Nature Center (using the bus turnaround on Vail Valley Drive as an unloading area) but was rejected as contradictory to the intended use of the Nature Center. A defined creek access point is now being considered above Ford Park in the vicinity of the Pulis Bridge. An Action Step suggested for this area (see Section 3 of this Plan) is to establish a conservation easement for this area. The protection afforded by an easement would permanently define limitations on the use of this area and in doing so establish permanence to its preservation. Future Improvements There are no future improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area. Soccer Field Sub-Area The Soccer Field Sub-Area is a valuable asset in providing parking relatively close to Vail Village, a full-sized athletic field and sand volleyball courts. These recreational facilities directly address the broad goal for the Park of “providing the recreational needs of the community” (1985 Plan) and is consistent with the objective of locating active recreation areas “away from the meadow and creek” (1985 Plan). 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 32 Separated from the rest of Ford Park by Vail Valley Drive and physically removed from the more developed portions of the Park, the Soccer Field Sub-Area does not have compatibility or relationship issues with surrounding uses or facilities. The Sub-Area is somewhat of an “island onto itself”. No major changes are contemplated to the existing recreational facilities in this Sub-Area. Future Improvements • The Soccer Field Sub-Area was identified in the 1997 Plan as a potential location for an educational center for the Alpine Garden. The Sub-Area remains a potential location for this facility. Betty Ford Alpine Garden Educational Center at the southwest corner of the parking lot. Refer to narrative on the Alpine Gardens Sub-Area above for more information on this potential improvement and to the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan for more information on this potential improvement. 5/7/2013 Draft 2013 Ford Park Master Plan Page 33 Part 6 - FORD PARK ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN This section is under development and will be completed in the near future.

SUMMARY The first reading of Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2012, an ordinance establishing an allowable building height specifically for golf course clubhouses within the Outdoor Recreation District establishing definitions for the terms golf course and golf course clubhouse, and setting forth details in regard thereto. On November 12, 2012, Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed amendment. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, the Town of Vail, is proposing to amend Section 12-8B-7, Height, Vail Town Code, to establish an allowable building height specifically for golf course clubhouses within the Outdoor Recreation District. The proposed amendment is as follows (text that is to be added is bold italics): 12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course clubhouses, for a flat or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty feet (30’'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’). 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 2 The Community Development Department recommends the Vail Town Council considers the following modifications to the prescribed regulation amendments to further clarify the proposal (text that is to be added is bold italics): 12-2-2: DEFINITIONS: Golf Course: A recreational facility primarily used for the playing of golf, exclusive of miniature golf, including holes consisting of separate tees, fairways, and greens, as well as related support facilities such as clubhouses, driving ranges, shelters, and other similar buildings and uses customarily incidental and accessory to a golf course. Golf Course Clubhouse: The principal building associated with a golf course, which contains facilities typically available in such buildings, including pro shops, administrative offices, locker rooms, restrooms, golf cart storage, eating and drinking establishments, meeting rooms, banquet facilities, community space and other similar uses. 12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course clubhouses, the height of a flat or mansard roof shall not exceed thirty feet (30’) and the height of a sloping roof shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’). These proposed modifications have been incorporated into the attached Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2012. The Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendment on October 22nd and November 12, 2012.

SUMMARY The purpose of this hearing if for a work session to allow the applicant, the Town of Vail, to introduce a proposal to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. The applicant has submitted three separate, but related, development applications for the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for sloping roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House. For the purposes of this hearing, the Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission reviews these three related items concurrently. Final action on the proposed rezoning, prescribed regulation amendment, and conditional use permit amendment applications will be requested at a future public hearing. The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the applicant’s presentation, asks questions, and continues the hearing of these items to its November 12, 2012, meeting for further review. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. This proposal involves three development applications subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for slopi ng roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. Based upon the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the proposed renovation of the golf course club house includes the following: “• Dedicated banquet room with a capacity for 200 people • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the banquet room • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs will be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the banquet room and the recreation uses • A grill/bar is sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 • A kitchen is sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the banquet space. • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space should be placed at the parking lot level • Project design that provides for both a winter operation plan and a summer operation plan and any use of the cart barn in the winter should present a finished quality expected for Vail guests • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building • Locate golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop and to clarify circulation on the front side of the building • Maintain approximate existing square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building • Two-story tall (4 level) building • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure is critical to maintain the original project budget.” To clarify, the three subject development applications have no bearing on whether the 18th hole will be realigned/reconfigured or if the Hole #18 green or tee boxes will be relocated. The decision to move Hole #18 was made by the property owner, the Vail Town Council, based upon safety concerns and other factors not relevant to the three development applications before the Planning and Environmental Commission. A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant’s request (Attachment B), and written public comment (Attachment C) have been attached for review and inclusion in the record. III. BACKGROUND On November 8, 2011, the Town of Vail electorate approved ballot question #1 which stated: “Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements?” 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 4 On April 16, 2012, the Town of Vail (golf course property owner), in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District (golf course operator), submitted a final plat application and a rezoning application intended to facilitate future renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election. On May 14, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat creating the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Parcel and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse site from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. Based upon subsequent public input, the applicant has withdrawn those applications. Prior to submitting new development applications for renovating the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, the Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District held multiple public hearings and community open houses to obtain additional public input on a variety of golf course related issues and proposals, including: a re-zoning process for the site, proposed parameters for use of temporary tents on the clubhouse site, possible uses for the existing 18th green following realignment of the hole, parking lot access, netting for the driving range, clubhouse remodel design, including site layout, landscaping, circulation, floor plans and elevations, etc. On September 24, 2012, the Town of Vail, in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District, submitted the subject zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendments, and conditional use permit amendment applications to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. On October 11, 2012, the Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District were notified of a complaint filed by adjacent property owners in Eagle County District Court alleging the golf course renovation project violates an existing covenant on the golf course property, among other claims. At this time, the lawsuit does not prevent the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review of the three submitted development applications. IV. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BODIES Planning and Environmental Commission: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for forwarding a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of approval, approval with modifications, or denial of zone district boundary amendment applications and prescribed regulation amendment applications, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a conditional use permit application, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code. Design Review Board: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 5 The Design Review Board has no review authority over a zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendment, or conditional use permit application. However, the Design Review Board is responsible for the final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of any accompanying design review application. Town Council: The Town Council has the authority to hear and decide appeals from any decision, determination, or interpretation by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board. The Town Council may also call up a decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board under certain conditions. V. NEXT STEPS Final action on the proposed zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendment, and conditional use permit amendment applications will be requested at a future public hearing. Both the applicant and the Community Development Department anticipate additional hearings before the Planning and Environmental Commission to further discuss the various aspects of the applicant’s proposal as the applicant continues to refine the details of the request. Future work session topics may include: • Zone district boundary amendment • Outdoor Recreation District building height amendment • Development Plans (site and landscape plans, architectural plans, etc.) • Operations/Management Plans • Traffic and Parking Plans VI. RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the applicant’s presentation, asks questions, and continues the hearing of these items to its November 12, 2012, meeting for further review.

The following information is provided below: • Summary of proposed Clubhouse improvements, • Purpose of submittal, • Background on the Clubhouse and this proposal, and • Development applications. This application is submitted on behalf of the Public Works Department of the Town of Vail in conjunction with participation of the Vail Recreation District. In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to seek voter approval to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. In the Fall of 2011 voters approved the use of Conference Center funds for three projects – Golf Course Clubhouse improvements, a Vail Village Visitor’s Center and Ford Park improvements. Specific improvements for each of these projects were defined in response to the underlying goals articulated in the 2011 ballot language: Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements? 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 2 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP The primary improvements envisioned for the Clubhouse included a new, dedicated banquet room and a number of other improvements to the facility that would significantly improve nordic and golf course operations and the overall experience of the guests and users of the building. At a very general level, the following vision statement for the project has played a major role in design decisions over the past months: “… to design a facility that broadens the appeal of golf and nordic facilities while expanding the opportunities for year around use, by creating a unique and special sense of place that is aligned with guest expectations for a world class destination resort . . .” This broad vision statement has influenced the overall direction of the project design. However, many other factors including but not limited to the development program, operations, existing improvements and overall site features and characteristics have directly influenced the team’s approach to project design. A plan set of proposed improvements has been submitted under separate cover. Specific parameters used in the project design included: • Dedicated banquet room with a capacity for 200 people • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the banquet room • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs will be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the banquet room and the recreation uses • A grill/bar is sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space • A kitchen is sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the banquet space. • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space should be placed at the parking lot level • Project design that provides for both a winter operation plan and a summer operation plan and any use of the cart barn in the winter should present a finished quality expected for Vail guests • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building • Locate golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop and to clarify circulation on the front side of the building • Maintain approximate existing square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building • Two-story tall (4 level) building • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure is critical to maintain the original project budget. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 3 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP Purpose of this Submittal Three related development applications are proposed in order to facilitate the re- development of the Clubhouse. These include: 1. Re-zoning a portion of the Clubhouse area from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR), 2. A text amendment to the OR District to increase allowable building height from 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof) to 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof), and 3. Amendment to existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for modifications to the Clubhouse. The first step in the PEC’s review of this project will be a series of work sessions, the purpose of which will be to introduce the project, address the PEC and community’s initial questions and comments, scope potential issues and get other input on the project. PEC action on these applications will then be held after final plans have been re-fined. Background on the Clubhouse and this Proposal Following voter approval in the fall of 2011 to reallocate a portion of Conference Center Funds to the Clubhouse project the Town assembled a project team and design work on project began earlier this year. Since that time the team has held numerous meetings with the Town Council and the Recreation Sub-Committee to define the scope of the project and to review progress on the design of the project. In August a neighborhood meeting was held at the Clubhouse to gather input from the community regarding their issues and concerns with the project. The project team is currently involved in a series of public work sessions with the Town Council. The focus of these work sessions has been to discuss all aspects of the project, specifically dealing with neighborhood issues/concerns and potential alternatives for how the zoning, project design and operation of the new facility can address neighborhood concerns. In 1986 a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the Clubhouse was approved by the PEC. Main elements of the ’86 expansion was new golf cart storage, expansion of the bar/dining area, a new meeting room and an expanded kitchen. Today the facility reflects the plans approved by this 1986 approval. Historically the facility has been used as the clubhouse for the golf course, for nordic skiing, and for banquets and other special events. The Vail Golf Course is located on portions of Vail Village Filing 7 and Filing 8 and on a number of unplatted parcels. The existing Clubhouse is located on an unplatted parcel that is zoned Outdoor Recreation (OR). An area generally encompassing the Clubhouse parking lot is located on Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and is currently zoned General Use 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 4 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP (GU). In both districts “golf courses” are a permitted use and “accessory buildings” (i.e. the Clubhouse) are a conditional use. As such, an amendment to the current CUP is necessary in order to allow for the planned re-development of this facility. Development Applications The following summarizes the three development applications proposed for the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse re-development project. Re-Zoning of Parking Lot from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR) Currently the Clubhouse area is zoned two different zone districts. The parking lot is zoned GU while the Clubhouse building and immediate area is zoned OR. Having what is essentially one development site zoned two different zone districts creates an awkward situation and this re-zoning request is proposed in large part to remedy this existing situation. Either the OR or GU district could provide a suitable and workable zoning for the golf course clubhouse area. Based in large part on input from the community, the GU portion of the Clubhouse area is proposed to be re-zoned to OR. Many residents in the golf course neighborhood expressed concern with the board range of potential land uses under GU zoning and to address this concern the proposed re-zoning would designate the entire Clubhouse area as OR. The OR zone district, while allowing for the golf course and clubhouse use (as a CUP), does have a very restrictive building height limit. A code amendment to the OR zone district is proposed to remedy this situation (see below). Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed change to zone district are as follows: 1. How the proposed change in district boundaries is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 2. How the proposed change in district boundaries is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 3. How the proposed change in district boundaries is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. A response to how the proposed rezoning conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 5 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP Building Height Code Amendment to Outdoor Recreation The OR district currently limits building height to 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof). This limitation creates significant design constraints and is also the most restrictive height limitation of any zone district within the Town. In order to establish a building height that will allow for the design of an appropriate, quality building a code amendment to allow for building height of 30’ (flat roof) and 33” (sloping roof) is proposed. Building height of 30’/33’ in the Clubhouse area is consistent with the building height of surrounding properties and is thought to be reasonable given the context of this location and the role the Clubhouse plays in the operation of the golf course. However, building heights of 30’/33’ may not be appropriate elsewhere on the golf course or on other OR zoned properties. For this reason a narrowly defined code amendment will be proposed to limit the locations and/or circumstances where building height of 30’/33’ may be permissible. Alternatives for how to amend building height in the OR District include: 1. Limiting the building height increase to specific types of buildings or to specific locations, 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 6 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP 2. Establishing specific criteria that must be met in order to allow for buildings up to 30’/33’, or 3. Utilizing the CUP process to review the appropriateness of building height up to 30’/33’. These alternatives will be presented for discussion with the PEC at upcoming work sessions. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed amendment to the zoning code are as follows: 1. How the proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 2. How the proposed amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 3. How the proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. A response to how the proposed code amendment conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. Amendment to Existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) A CUP is currently in place for the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse. An amendment to reflect the proposed re-development and use of the new facility is proposed. Historically the Clubhouse building has been an accessory use to the golf course (cart storage, lockers, food and beverage, pro shop, offices, etc.), has been used by the Vail Nordic Center during winter months and as a facility to host banquets, parties and other functions. The later use has occurred in the existing bar/restaurant area. When used for banquets and other functions the capacity of the bar/restaurant area has been approximately 120 people. While this space has been used for these purposes for many years the existing CUP includes no specific parameters regarding this use of the building. Proposed uses for the Clubhouse are the same as how the building has historically been used - the Golf Course will utilize the facility in the summer, the Nordic Center in the winder and throughout the year the building will be used for banquets and other functions. While uses remain the same, significant upgrades will be made to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. A dedicated space for banquets and other functions with a capacity of 200 people is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant (intended primarily to serve golfers), improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 7 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP improved lockers, circulation, restrooms, etc. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the facility and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the building. The CUP includes two main elements – the Development Plan (comprehensive design drawings of the proposed building and site improvements and an Operations/Management Plan (a document outlining how the facility will be used and managed). The CUP also includes a diagram defining the area covered by the CUP (see below). This area includes the Clubhouse building, parking lot and the immediately surrounding area. Improvements planned for the Clubhouse are located within this area and commitments or obligations outlined in the Operations Plan pertain to this area. Below is a summary of the Development Plan and the Operations/Management Plan. Development Plan In accordance with submittal requirements for a CUP, a Development Plan for the project has been submitted. This plan provides comprehensive information on the design of the building along with site and landscape improvements. Information provided includes building elevations and floor plans, roof plan, site plan, landscape plan, grading plan and lighting plan. The Development Plan has been submitted under separate cover. Development Standards 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 8 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP The proposed building has been designed to conform to all zoning/development standards as outlined in the OR Zone District (assuming the proposed height amendment is approved). Specific information on these standards will be provided as the design package evolves in the coming weeks. Parking requirements for the proposed building can be satisfied with minor expansion and re-organization of the existing parking lot. The following summarizes how parking has been calculated for the facility. The Town’s Zoning Code does not include parking requirements specific to a golf course. As such, parking demand for the course and clubhouse facility has been determined based on the parking that currently exists and then assessing a new parking demand for the expansion or change to any of the parking generating uses within the Clubhouse (i.e. the banquet facility, restaurant and pro shop). In order to meet the Code requirement for parking, an additional 12 spaces have been added to the existing parking lot. It should be understood that this parking, while satisfying code requirements does not address the potential parking impacts of an event being held in the banquet room during peak golf course operations. In these cases a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. This plan will be defined in the Operations and Management Plan for the facility. Operations/Management Plan There are currently no parameters or limitations on how the Clubhouse can be used for banquets and other functions. It is recognized that operational parameters do need to be 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 9 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP established in order to minimize any potential impacts of the facility on the immediate neighborhood. The Vail Recreation District is currently preparing an Operations and Management Plan for the facility. It is anticipated that this plan will address topic such as lighting, hours of operation, amplified sound, and parking management. This plan will be an important element of the CUP and it is expected that it will be incorporated into any final approval for the project. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed CUP are as follows: 1. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 2. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. 3. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facility’s needs. 4. The effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking area. 5. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. A response to how the proposed CUP conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. Information on each of the three applications will be updated in the coming weeks in response to input received from the PEC, Town Council and community. 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 rCEUW -E' OCT 17 ZU IZ J TOWN OFVAIL October 17, 2012 Sunburst Drive Homeowners c/o Sam Maslak 1979 Sunburst Drive Vail, CO81657 Planning and Environmental Commission Town of Vail 75 S. FrontageRoad West Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Vail Golf Course Clubhouse andl 8th Hole/Zoning and Conditional Use Permit Dear Planning and EnvironmentalCommission (PEC): As you are aware, the Town of Vail plans toenlarge the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, move the 18thgreen of the golf course, destroy portions of the 18th hole fairway, and use the entire area as a revenue- and tourism-generating events center. You may also be aware that a number of us—as neighbors who own homes adjacent to or near the Vail Golf Course—have filed a lawsuit to prevent the Town from proceeding with its current plans. To meet its goals, the Town has sought to amend the conditional use permit (CUP) it received in 1986 to expand it in both sizeand scope. It also seeks to amendthe zone district to change the golf course parking lot from a GeneralUse District to an Outdoor Recreation District. Finally, it seeks to amend the zoning for the clubhouse to allow it to increase the clubhouse's height. As citizens and property owners of Vail, we feel it is important for the PECto be aware of our position regarding the Town's requests. We do not oppose changing the parking lot from a General Use District to an Outdoor Recreation District. We also take no position at this time on the Town's attemptto change zoning relating to height requirements because it is still unclear exactly what the Town will seek (although we reservethe right to opposethe Town's plans in the future once they become more clear). We oppose, however, the Town's request toamend the Conditional Use Permit to allow it to move forward with its proposed changes to the clubhouse, the 18thgreen, and the 18th hole fairway. While wesupport the effort to improve the clubhouse, we cannot permit the plan to convert the clubhouse and neighboring area to an event center in violation of the reasonable expectations of the neighborhood, the voters who approved the use of convention center funds for clubhouse improvements, and the golf community. Numerouscitizens have raised objections and issues with the Town Council regarding the proposed changes to the golf course and its clubhouse, indicating that the Town's current plans 1 5/7/2013 are unacceptable. Despite this,the Town has refused to address the citizens' concerns or to change its plans in any meaningful way. The issues are numerous and are so intertwined with the Town's current proposals that the only way for the Town to address them is to abandonits current course altogether and begin anew with plans to renovate and update the golf course clubhouse within its existing footprint and without moving the 18thgreen. That was what the Town Council members promised was their intent, that is what the voters approved, and that is what the Vail Golf Course neighbors, citizens of Vail, and golfers support and deserve. Reasons for Opposing the Town's Plans and Application to Amend the CUP We opposethe Town's current plan for the following reasons: 1. Development of Program Without Timely Neighborhood, Golfer, orOther Involvement. The Town failed to engagethe neighborhood and many others effectively during the development of its plan for conversion of the 18th hole and the clubhouse until after their plans were fully and privately developed. Even the first notices circulated to the neighborhood, in connection with a PEC meeting held on May 14, 2012, were misleading. They referred to the clubhouse" only and notto the area around the clubhouse, the 18thgreen, or the 18th fairway, all of which the Town has, from the beginning, intended to change. Only after two neighborhood owners realized the impact of the program did the rest of the owners in the neighborhood around the Golf Course realize how vast the Town's plans were. By that time,the Town had already traveled so far down itsintended paththat it either could not or would not changecourse. It adopted an inflexible position and largely ignored the opinions and opposition of the golf course neighbors, the golfing community, and even some of the members of the Vail Recreation District ("VRD"). 2.Size/Capacity of Project. The material the Town created and circulated on 5±' October 8, 2012 clearly indicates that the Town intends to createan event center with an indoor banquet room"that can accommodate 200 seats (and presumably at least that many people). The Plan also provides for an outdoor events area that will accommodate as many as 500 people. Finally, the CUP the Town seeks is approximately eight times as large as the CUP it received in 1986, which covered only the existing clubhouse footprint. It also is an expansion in scope, since the current CUP does not even mention"events" or"banquets" and provides for a meeting room of only 506 square feet. The floor plans the Town distributed indicate that the banquet room will be 2,728 square feet and the outdoor patio area will be an additional 2,750 square feet. A pre-convene space tied to the banquet room will be 756 square feet. Finally, a"banquet lawn" to the south of the covered patio will add an additional 5,000 square feet. The total space for holding events at the golf course clubhouse will thus total approximately 11,234 square feet. And that does not take into account the CUP's expansion to include the current 18th greenand portions of the fairway. 2 5/7/2013 By contrast, the pro shopand golfer grille will total only 2,812square feet. These numbers leave no doubtthat the planned facility will be a large and substantialevent center with coincidental golf space ratherthan a golf clubhouse that also occasionally serves other community functions, which the November 2011 ballot question indicated was the Town's intent. 3. Orientation of Any Event Activity Area. Because the golf course neighbors' homes sit east and south of the clubhouse, the Town's current plans will maximize the nuisance to the neighborhood. The Town intends to configure the new events center so that all banquets and outdoor activities occur to the south and east of the clubhouse. Special events held in this area in the past havebeen disruptive to the neighborhood and have forced neighbors to call the police. Rather thandevelop a plan that would reducethe likelihood of such problems, the Town has instead proposed plans that will increase them substantially, both in number and in physical scope. At least one member of the community proposed a potential alternative plan that would have amelioratedmany of the golf course neighbors' concerns. The Town refused even to acknowledge thatproposal, and weeks aftertheyreceived it, some members of the Town Council admittedthey did not even review it. 4. Parking, Congestion, and Safety Issues. The Town intends to increase the parking lot capacity by roughly 11%. Although the Town has represented that it no longer desires—as it originally planned—to replace the 18th green with additional parking, it is unlikely that the Town will be able to host thetypes of events it contemplates without increasing parking capacity and further deteriorating the quality of the golf course. The CUP the Town seeks will allow it to increase the parking lot's size or add other parking at a later date. Moreover,the Town's plans are subject to the requirements of the PEC andthe Design Review Board, which could render the commitment of no furtherparking expansionmeaningless if neither the PEC nor the DRB will permit the Town's dramatic expansion plans without significant additional parking. In addition, the Town's plans raiseserious safety and congestion concerns. According to itsplans, events scheduled at the clubhouse may begin as early as 4 P.M. At that time, golfers will still be on thecourseand their cars in the parking lot, which will not have the capacity for both golfer vehicles and event attendee vehicles. The result will be individuals parking along the shoulder of Sunburst Drive, which creates hazards for emergency vehicles trying to access the neighborhood, as well as severe congestion for the residents and substantial risk to the bikers and runners who use Sunburst. In sum, there is no way the Town can implement its plans without either expanding the parking lot into the 18th green or creating serious congestion and safety issues. 3 5/7/2013 5.Destruction of 18th Fairway and Green. The Town currently planstoshorten the18th fairway and move the18th hole east of the clubhouse, converting the current 18thgreen into a putting/practice green that could also host large tent events. Only aftervoters raised concerns did the Town invent a number of safety concerns in an attempt to justify the move. These safety concerns, which were never mentioned in connection with the proposal to spend convention center funds on thisproject, are nothing morethan a smokescreen that will allow the Town to proceed with cutting off the western third of the18th hole, all for the purpose of raising revenue for itself through the event center. Even if the Town's "no additionalparking" commitment were credible, there is simply no way of knowing how the Town will use that property if it receives the CUP it is requesting, both now and in the future. The uncertainty regarding how the Town intends to use the 18th green will serve asa perpetual cloud over the neighboring properties and will significantly reduce the value of neighboring homes. 6. Noise. The Town's plans will create noise that will serve as a nuisance to all homeownersalong the18th fairway and current 18th greenand in the adjoining townhomes. Indeed, the expansive use of the facility as a revenue-producing events center raisesthe following concerns regarding noise: a.Orientation of activities. The Town's current proposals place activitiesin the one location that will maximize the noise nuisance to the homeowners. b.Lack of effectivecontrol. The Town has shown an inability to control the noise level of events held in the modest space already at the clubhouse, even whenneighbors complain. If the Town succeeds in creating an event 1 center of the magnitude it is proposing, the impact on the neighborhood will be severe. When the windows and doors are opened, the building itself will act as an amphitheater, magnifying the volume of events held there. Music, crowd, and traffic noise will cause a diminution in value of the neighbors' homes. c.Hours of operation. The Town plans to allow music to continue at the new events center until midnight each night and activities may continueto 2:00 A.M.. The attendees likely will notall leave until some time after that. Such late hours will prevent those in the neighborhood from experiencing any peace and quiet at a late evening hour, something many of the homeowners relied on havingwhenthey purchased their properties. d.Estimates suggest the center will host more than 100 events per year, and the number could be substantially more than that. 4 5/7/2013 7. Lighting. Lighting associated with evening activities will be a nuisance to the neighborhood in several respects. Because lightingfor outside activities will most likely be affixed to the building, it will shine toward theresidences, creating a continuing glare. Any lighting sufficient to illuminate the outdoor banquet areas will almost certainly be bright enough to illuminate the adjoining properties as well. And because lighting will be necessary beyond the periodwhen events occur, as people are leaving to their vehicles, it will be a problem well past midnight, resulting in an aggravated impact on the neighboring residences. 8. Erratic Behavior and Lack of Law Enforcement. During past social gatherings at the clubhouse, which were much smaller than that which the Town is proposing to host, the conduct of attendees has often been out of control, resulting in safety issues and disturbance to the neighborhood. And calls to law enforcement havebeen ineffective. Larger events designed to be outside will only increase such activity. 9. Tents. The CUP the Town is seeking will allow it to use the18th fairway and the 18thgreen as a venueto raise large tents under which they can host affairs even larger than those contemplated for the events center itself Such a use will only exacerbate the issues we have already raised, including noise, lighting, and unruly behavior, and will create opportunities for other nuisances and torts, such as trespasses onto the residentialproperties. The information the Town has circulated indicatesthat the Town will prohibit private parties from using tents but that the Vail Recreation District may still use tents for special public events. The issues we have raised, however, are as much a concern for public functions as they are for private ones. Moreover, the Town could change its policy in the future to allow tents for private events. 10. Reconfiguration of Driving Range Nets. The Town insists on increasing the height of the driving range nets, which will distractgolfers, tourists, motorists along I-70, bikers, and others attempting to enjoy the scenery. No valid reason exists for reconfiguring the driving range nets, especially if the Town abandons its plan to move the18thgreen. The movement of thegreen is what places golfers in danger. The Town's current plan is forcing it to spend large sums of moneyto address safety concerns that would not exist if the Town would simply reconsider its current course of action. 11. Lack of Buffer to Protect Residences. Whatever activities occur at the current parking lot, the current clubhouse site, or at the current location of the 18th fairway and green, the impacts onthe neighborhood will be significant. There is simply no way to buffer the homeowners from the activities. At Donovan Pavilion, the nearest residence to the building is approximately twice the distance as is thenearest residenceon Sunburst Drive to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. In addition, at Donovan, Gore Creek and a wide and dense growth of evergreen trees shield the nearby residences. If thisproject goes forward in any manner other than by simply creating a quality golf course clubhouse with no significant event facility, the 5 5/7/2013 neighborhood residences will experience substantial reduction in value and will require increased protection from both parkingactivities and event functions. 12. Uncertainty Regarding Zoning and Development Plans. Because of the broad options available under the zoningregulations, if the PECwere to grant the Town's requested changes to the CUP, the Town would have broad flexibility regarding how to use the clubhouse, the18th green, and the18th fairway. This is especially true because the Town refuses to be bound by any of the proposals it has put forth to the PEC. The uncertainty regarding how the Town intendsto use the property prevents the residents of the adjoining properties from the normal use of their residences, decreases the property and resale value of the golf course neighbors' homes and properties, andleaves open the possibility that the Town will, at a later time, use the property for purposes other than those it now identifies. 13. GeneralConsiderations. In addition to the issues identified above, the following more generalconcerns also warrant consideration: a.the events center will likely compete with a number of local businesses; b.given other event centers that are existing or soon coming on-line, the Townsimply does not need another event center orwedding venue; c.the Townwould spend far toomuch on this project, draining its reserves and committing future revenues, which will result in less funding to be available for Ford Park improvements and other Town priorities; d.many or all homes and townhomes along Sunburst Drive will lose substantial value, which could result in additional costs to the Town for this project; and e.the operation of the proposed center would be a money-losing proposition, but if the Town were to abandon its plan and limit itself to renovating the clubhouse only within its existing footprint, it could save millions of dollars, which should make the project an operational and financial success. Requested Actions Werequest that the PECdeny the Town's requesttoamend the CUP, which needs no amendments to renovate the golf course clubhouse within its current footprint, as the Town promised was its intent. The Town never mentioned to the voters of Vail its intent to move the 6 5/7/2013 18th green or to expand the events capacity of the clubhouse in such a dramaticfashion. As long as it intends to do so, we request that the PEC deny the Town's application. The Town must develop the golf course clubhouse in a way that fits within the existing footprint andmeetsthe needs of the entire community, not the demands of a few special interest groups.

I have asked that any owners with comments, please send them to me to send or for them to send it directly themselves. I was going to put on the email to send to you all directly but I didn't get a response back that I saw of what email addresses. For that reason I will forward them as they come through and will cc the owner themselves so that you can see that I did not alter their email. I will send all of them both positive and negative as I encouraged them to express their feelings themselves and not rely only upon management and the Boards etcetera to convey their thoughts. I noted that some people (particularly people that rent) may feel differently than the Board as a whole and that if they are supportive they too should chime in on their opinions. I don't know if they will because I worry that everyone is on overkill with all this but I hope that they will do so. I wasn't comfortable forwarding emails that they sent to me previously because I didn't know how to properly convey the message because they often forwarded other comments from other people in their email stream and those comments out of context may have been hard to understand etcetera. In other words, I asked them to do a free standing letter that they write themselves about their feelings about the project. I cannot be sure that they read what I sent with all the emails we send now on the subject but I tried. I have gotten much positive feedback from owners seeing that the applications to the PEe are now not trying to change the zoning to general use. That has had very positive feedback. Several people have also expressed that if there has to be an "event venue" or banquet room for events, then they are glad to see that they are pursuing the operating agreement although a couple that have read it says they feel it still needs work in areas. They are glad to see the prohibitions against tents, no amplifiers etcetera as positive components. I have not received any positive feedback from any homeowners on holding regular events at this location although there may be some people that rent that feel positive about it but they have not expressed such. Only a handful of people that I am aware currently rent in these townhomes. Maybe the email I sent out saying to express both positive and negative feedback and I did indicate that people who rent may be more inclined towards the idea of a venue for events (as it may help with rentals). Please add the below email to feedback and I will forward more in the future. Please send me the best emails to send this feedback. Thank you. 1 5/7/2013 ----------Forwarded message --------- From: alvaro garcia de Quevedo <aquevedo@notaria55.com> Date: Wed, Oct 10,2012 at 1:48 PM Subject: To Whom it May Concern To: Malia Cox Nobrega <malia@crossroadsvail.com> As neighbors of Sunburst Drive (Unit 24Vail Golfcourse Townhomes) we are concerned about the plans for the golf course area. The TOV has most of the time been assertive in the upgrades made in order to generate more value to Vail property owners. I am concerned that our neighborhood could be transformed into an event venue place where traffic, noise, alcohol and other inconvenients may arise. We do not want to become the "bad place" to live. We don't want other people making money on new venues while diminishing the general property area. Upgrades are always welcome but keeping in mind that our neighborhood is a place where not only neighbors, but Vail residents make outdoor activities (golf, running, cycling, etc.). We have been owners in the golf course area since 1981, although we live abroad we are regular visitors to Vail both in winter and summer seasons. Any proposal to the golf course area must have in mind ABOVE ALL that the benefits have to be for the neighborhood, not for the visitors that will go to a party event in a new venue.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. 1 5/7/2013 I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner.II I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn 2 5/7/2013 out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

Thank you. ----------Forwarded message --------- From: <DANDJHALL@aol.com> Date: Mon, Oct 15,2012 at 9:25 AM Subject: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN To: malia@crossroadsvail.com I own a condo in the Vail Townhome Golf Course area--Unit J-32. I've been an owner since the late 80s and always have enjoyed having close access to the Vail Golf Course. I am a golfer and I really hate to see the 18th hole shortened. I do feel it will make the course too easy and won't appeal to players as much. I also think there's a good chance that the owners near the hole will sue if the 18th hole is changed, which will greatly delay the renovation and increase costs. I think the golf shop/pro shop area and restaurant have long been in need of an upgrade, but I'm not at all in favor of adding an event venue. I know those who are interested in the latter, say there will be no parking problems, but I find that very hard to believe. Are they only thinking of having the venue open for evening events?? A capacity of some 200 in the event facility would at the very least need 100 parking spaces--where will they be located? Will they then have to allow parking on Sunburst Drive? I'm also concerned with the possible noise factor. One reason I bought in this area instead of Vail Village or Beaver Creek was because it was quiet and a bit off the beaten track. I am also completely against the idea of changing the space to general use zoning. I'm sorry I couldn't be present to voice my concerns in person.

The TOV has most of the time been assertive in the upgrades made in order to generate more value to Vail property owners. I am concerned that our neighborhood could be transformed into an event venue place where traffic, noise, alcohol and other inconvenients may arise. We do not want to become the "bad place" to live. We don't want other people making money on new venues while diminishing the general property area. Upgrades are always welcome but keeping in mind that our neighborhood is a place where not only neighbors, but Vail residents make outdoor activities (golf, running, cycling, etc.). We have been owners in the golf course area since 1981, although we live abroad we are regular visitors to Vail both in winter and summer seasons. Any proposal to the golf course area must have in mind ABOVE ALL that the benefits have to be for the neighborhood, not for the visitors that will go to a party event in a new venue.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns. parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely 2 5/7/2013 I impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area.

Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 **Order and times of agenda items are subject to change** MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT Susan Bird Luke Cartin Pam Hopkins Michael Kurz Bill Pierce Henry Pratt John Rediker 20 minutes 1. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-16- 10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House (i.e. accessory buildings, permanent and temporary, and uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional outdoor recreational uses, and necessary for the operation thereof, including restrooms, drinking fountains, bleachers, concessions, storage buildings, and similar uses), located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and Unplatted Parcels (a complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community Development Department Office), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120036) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) Bill Pierce recused himself from items 1, 2, and 3 on the agenda due to conflict of interest. He disclosed that he is the architect for the temporary clubhouse buildings project and is a member of the Fall Ridge home owners association that has voiced its support for the clubhouse remodel. Commissioner Pratt disclosed that he has had previous clients that are involved in the law suit, but he has not been in contact with them nor has any financial interest in these applications. Therefore, he will participate in the hearings for these applications. Commissioner Hopkins disclosed that she is currently working on the Vail Library renovation which is a Town project. Matt Mire, Town Attorney, asked Pam Hopkins if she had any financial interest in these applications. Commissioner Hopkins stated that she does not have any financial interest in these applications, she can be impartial, and will participate in the hearing of these application. Bill Gibson provided an overview of the applications and the desired outcomes of the hearing today. Tom Braun, Braun and Associates, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the existing and proposed uses in the club house, the applications that have been submitted, and 5/7/2013 Page 2 the plan documents that will be submitted. Pedro Campos, Zehren and Associates, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the site and design as contemplated. He added that his presentation would include a highlight of those areas that have been addressed in order to respond to neighbor concerns. He discussed the various elements of the proposal including the clubhouse building and patio, parking lot, driving range netting, golf skills teaching area in the current location of the 18th green, etc. Tom Braun concluded the presentation by highlighting the request for a conditional use permit to apply to a defined area adjacent to the club house. He covered the items he expects to provide within an anticipated operational plan in conjunction with the conditional use permit. He provided an image depicting the allowable and proposed building height. He discussed parking for the proposed uses and an anticipated parking management plan for the facility. Commissioner Kurz stated that he felt the bus turn around would be beneficial for what he believes will be an increase in shuttle traffic to the site. He felt that an increase in building height is appropriate. He asked what makes this facility so unique that notification would be sent to adjacent property owners about events when notice is not sent to neighbors about events held at Donovan pavilion? He clarified that what is being proposed does not appear to be an event center, but instead it appears to be a banquet room similar to those found at other golf courses. Commissioner Bird recommended adding a seating area on the western elevation of the building for the Nordic users. Commissioner Rediker asked what other properties in town are currently zoned Outdoor Recreation District. He wants to understand the potential impacts of uniformly increasing building height in this zone district and the impacts of amending height by a different method. Bill Gibson identified some of the other properties currently zoned Outdoor Recreation District and stated that a map of all the properties in this district would be provided at a future hearing. Commissioner Cartin agreed with Commissioner Redikers concerns about understanding the impacts to other properties if building height was amended in the Outdoor Recreation District. He asked about the potential of rezoning other portions of the golf course that are currently not zoned Outdoor Recreation District. He requested that the proposed outdoor lighting details also be presented at a future hearing. Commissioner Pratt asked for the background on how the applicant arrived at the proposed 200 person banquet size? Tom Braun stated that it was a function of many variables including recommendations from the recreation sub-committee. He noted that a 200 person banquet room could accommodate most cocktail parties and weddings. Commissioner Pratt noted concerns that the banquet room of the clubhouse, plus pre-function areas, plus the patio and lawn areas could accommodate a stand-up event much larger than 200 people. Tom Braun noted that these are all one combined use area and are not intended as cumulative use areas. Bill Gibson entered the additional written public comment received after publication of the staff memorandum into the record. 5/7/2013 Page 3 Commissioner Pratt asked that a digital copy of this additional public comment be emailed to the Commissioners. Sam Maslak, resident of Sunburst Drive, stated that he believes the project is a massive increase in scale that is out of proportion. He highlighted the incompatibility of the proposal with the neighborhood since there will be a five-fold increase in meeting room space size. Additionally, today the meeting room is only used occasionally, but it will be used four times per week as proposed. He is concerned that this project will result in tents, bleachers, and port-a- potties outside the clubhouse. He is concerned that the additional 11 parking spaces being proposed will not be enough. He noted that the current parking is insufficient and today the lot is full. Gretchen Busse resident of Sunburst Drive and representing various Golf Course Townhome owners, stated that it was felt that the increase in activity was inappropriate. She supports a new clubhouse, Nordic center, and grill; but the proposal expands and embellishes the clubhouse too much. She inquired as to where the snow would be stored on the site. She noted that parking on the south end of the parking lot is too close to existing houses. Pedro Campos noted that snow management and removal would be addressed. Gretchen Busse identified concerns about traffic and noise and current parking overflow. She highlighted safety concerns when parking occurs on Sunburst Drive. She expressed concern about changes to the plans for the 18th green from an event pavilion, to a parking lot, and now to a putting area on the site. What assurance does she have that the 18th green will be preserved. Art Abplanalp, attorney representing ten (10) property owners stated that his clients support a remodel of the club house, but that is not what is being proposed. He provided a comparison of existing meeting room areas and the proposed increases. He believes this proposal is for an event center with a golf shop and not for a golf course clubhouse. He spoke to why he believes the conditional use permit does apply to the 18th green. If the 18th green is relocated, he believes a blank check would be given to the Town Council for a future pavilion if a conditional use permit includes an area adjacent to the club house. His clients believe the parking lot rezoning is appropriate, the text amendment for height could be appropriate if it does not result in an additional building story, but more details are needed. He recommended the any additional building height only apply to roof elements or should only apply to golf course clubhouses. He referenced that 80 golfers and homeowners object and have sent the town letters. His clients object to a conditional use permit that will turn the golf club house into a mini Donovan Park Pavilion. He suggested a redesign to have the banquet facility to the north side of the building above the existing cart barn so it will be further from the residential neighbors. The objections of the community and a proposed alternative plan submitted by the neighbors have not yet been responded to by the applicant. He noted his clients concerns about the existing overflow parking and what will occur if events with 200 people are allowed. He does not believe these guests will take buses or shuttles. He asked that the Planning and Environmental Commission send a message to the Town Council regarding the promises made prior to the election and to look at the project again to ensure to that there will be a world class golf course clubhouse and not an accessory to an event center. Joe Batcheller, resident of a Golf Course Townhomes inquired as to improvements in the plan for pedestrian and bicycle user in the area. He suggested that a separate sidewalk, striped bike lane, shared bicycle markings, and methods for controlling vehicular speeds. He also asked what the logic was behind keeping the existing building and foundation. He compared saving the existing foundation to putting a new Lexus on top of an old Pinto chassis. 5/7/2013 Page 4 Laurie Mullen, member of the Vail Economic Council and Vail Local Marketing District, and owner of West Vail Liquor Mart noted that the proposed clubhouse will serve the same purposes as it does today, but with an upgraded building. She stated that the proposed remodel will better serve locals and visitors, and requested that the Commission not allow a few neighbors to block the project. She stated that hole 18 is not iconic, instead what is iconic is the view of the Gore Range from the clubhouse. Skip Thurnaurer, Vail Local Marketing District, spoke to the use of the conference center fund to meet the initial goal of the tax which was to increase stays and visitation in Vail. Use of the conference center funds to renovate the clubhouse was the first choice of their members. He noted that the existing clubhouse is not of the world class of Vail and an improved aesthetic will be good in general and good for the neighbors. Alfred Montano, representing 1925 Sunburst Drive, read a letter from the property owner Rufino Vigil outlining his objection to the relocation of the 18th green and converting the clubhouse into an event center. The letter was made a part of the record. Tom Braun, spoke to the numerous community open houses and Town Council work sessions which have involved the public. He noted that the applicant has made efforts to address comments that have been heard, but it may just be that the solutions are not acceptable to the neighbors. He spoke to several specific questions raised. He clarified that the retaining wall and parking spaces on the south end of the parking lot exist today. He said they will speak to the reasoning for locating the banquet room and patio on the south side of the building and not above the existing cart barn at a later hearing. He spoke to the ability of the applicant to remove the defined conditional use permit area as it was felt that it addressed a concern of the neighbors and would clearly define the impacts of the uses being proposed. Commissioner Kurz spoke to his concern about the neighbors feeling they haven’t been involved in the process, even though public input has been allowed and continues to be allowed. He supports expanding the conditional use permit area outside the building. The parking management plan will be important, and as a biker of Sunburst Drive, he understands the traffic concerns that have been raised. Commissioner Rediker believes the proposed conditional use permit area provides the additional control on the operation of the clubhouse that this project warrants. He likes the idea of a parking management plan and spoke to making shuttles a requirement for certain events and uses. He spoke to the additional information that is needed for considering any building height increases. He supports the amendment of the conditional use permit to achieve the goals of the project. Commissioner Bird stated that she agreed with Commissioner Rediker. She stated that parking is a concern and spoke to how overflow skier parking in this lot disrupts Nordic and event parking. Commissioner Hopkins, stated that this is her first presentation project and she added that she believes it is important for the Commission to balance the concerns of neighbors and take into account negative impacts to property values. With regard to the conditional use permit can the owners bring forward suggestions on noise, lighting, hours, etc. to make the project a better neighbor? She asked if the clubhouse patio gets adequate west sunlight for wedding events. She asked why the existing building foundation was being saved and why the 18th green was being relocated. She agrees with the concerns about bicycles and traffic, and asked if an alternative bike path route was available. 5/7/2013 Page 5 Commissioner Cartin agreed with the concerns raised about pedestrians and bicycles. He commented that the relocation of the 18th green is separate from the clubhouse remodel. The relocation of the 18th is under the purview of the Vail Recreation District and not a matter for the Commission. He supports rezoning the parking lot to the Outdoor Recreation District. The upcoming operations plan and parking management plan are his key concerns. Commissioner Kurz commented that is was good to hear Laurie Mullen’s perspective during public comment. He spoke to the increased revenue from the project and a project such as this will be beneficial to providing continued high level of services. He reminded everyone that this is a public golf course and not a private country club, there are no county club rights associated with the houses along the golf course, and the golf course needs to be managed for the benefit of the whole town. Commissioner Pratt noted that the proposed parking lot configuration appears well thought out. He respects the concerns of the neighbors and stated that it appears suspicious that the 18th green is being relocated which raises concerns that tents will be put there in the future. He believes rezoning the parking lot is a no-brainer. He does not believe the increase in building height should be zone district wide, but instead should be limited in scope. The height should be kept low and 33 feet should not be expected because the neighboring residential allows 33 feet. He is concerned about providing adequate parking and increasing the landscaping buffer between the parking lot and the first home adjacent. He is also concerned about bike and traffic. He also concerned that requiring the use of shuttles for events will not be very guest friendly. 20 minutes 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for a rezoning of the Vail Golf Course parking lot from the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District, located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120037) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) 20 minutes 3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to Section 12-8B-7, Height, Vail Town Code, to increase the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120039) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) 45 minutes 4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, to require restoration of watercourses and riparian areas, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120011) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Rachel Dimond ACTION: Recommendation of approval with modifications 5/7/2013 Page 6 MOTION: Rediker SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-1-0 (Pierce opposed) 1. That the proposed language be modified to reflect the changes discussed in the public hearing and made as a part of the motion. The applicant shall forward the revised language to the Vail Town Council. Rachel gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. She discussed the challenges of having private improvements removed from public land. The proposed language provides staff an additional tool to get improvements removed and restoration of public property. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the impacts of properties some distance from the creek that drain to the creek. He was supportive of the proposed language and suggested becoming more aggressive. He added that it appears there needs to bigger hammers provided to staff to affect the changes. That placement of the creek on the impaired stream list was a flair gun not a red flag that something needs to be done. Commissioner Rediker agrees with Kurz and believes that there needs to be greater language to allow the Town to go after violators of public property. Maybe the language should be expanded to tents on property or property needing a building permit but not Design Review application. He made a suggestion regarding the addition of language in subsection A referencing D that the addition of landscaping on public property is not except from Design Review approval. Commissioner Bird agrees with Kurz and Rediker. She inquired as to the town’s ability to enforce these regulations on those portions of the stream located outside the Town boundaries such as in Intermountain. Rachel Dimond responded that those portions of stream not within the Town boundaries are under Eagle County jurisdiction and their regulations. She added that in the past the Town has called the County to bring their attention to concerns and they have typically been addressed. Commissioner Pratt stated that this applies only to town-owned stream tract. He also inquired as to the dated for the effect of a one-time exclusion. Rachel Dimond clarified the one-time exclusion and added that it does not apply to an application on a property with stream tract encroachments. Commissioner Cartin thinks this is a good first step, but future regulations need teeth to cause changes resulting in improved the stream health. Commissioner Hopkins had nothing to add. There was no public comment. Commissioner Rediker made a motion with modifications Commissioner Pierce spoke to the impact of a singular unit wanting a window in an HOA and the need to take corrective action before anyone can make an improvement. This was his reason for voting in opposition as he felt that a single owner should not need to take the corrective action. Warren Campbell reminded the Commission that an application by a single unit owner in a multi- family development had the H.O.A. as a joint applicant. 5 minutes 5/7/2013 Page 7 5.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. This proposal involves three development applications subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for sloping roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse.

Lot 3 includes a portion of the existing golf course parking lot and is zoned General Use District. The adjacent areas of the Vail Golf Course, including the clubhouse and the remainder of the parking lot, are zoned Outdoor Recreation District. This proposal consolidates the clubhouse and parking lot areas of the golf course into one zone district. PRESCRIBED REGULATION AMENDMENT The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable building height limit within the Outdoor Recreation District through amendments to Section 12-8B-7, Height, Vail Town Code. Based upon the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the applicant is proposing the following amendment (text to be added is in bold): “12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course club houses, for a flat or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty feet (30’'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’).” CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT As identified in the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the proposed golf course clubhouse renovation involves numerous project elements including the following: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 4 • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” To clarify, the three subject development applications have no bearing on whether the existing 18th hole will be realigned/reconfigured or if the Hole #18 green or tee boxes will be relocated. The decision to move Hole #18 was made by the property owner, the Vail Town Council, based upon safety concerns and other factors not relevant to the three development applications before the Planning and Environmental Commission. A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant’s request (Attachment B), applicant’s response to PEC questions from the October 22nd hearing (Attachment C), the proposed rezoning map (Attachment D), Outdoor Recreation District Map (Attachment E), Management and Operations Plan (Attachment F), proposed plans (Attachment G), traffic report (Attachment H), preliminary drainage report (Attachment I) photographs (Attachment J), and written public comment received since the Commission’s October 22nd hearing (Attachment K) have been attached for review and inclusion in the record. III. BACKGROUND The Vail Golf Course was constructed under Eagle County jurisdiction in the 1960’s. In 1972, the subject portions of the Vail Golf Course (clubhouse and parking lot sites) were annexed into the Town of Vail through Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1972. While it is not clear from the Town’s archives, the golf course clubhouse site appears to have been subsequently zoned Agriculture District. In 1973, the Town of Vail approved a final plat for the Sunburst at Vail Subdivision which included the golf course parking lot property. On August 7, 1973, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1973, which established comprehensive zoning regulations for the Town of Vail. In establishing comprehensive regulations, this ordinance created 12 new zone districts including the Agriculture and Open Space District. The golf course clubhouse was site subsequently rezoned to the Agriculture and Open Space District. This ordinance also established Special Development District No. 1 for the “Sunburst Development”, which included the golf course parking lot property. On August 16, 1977, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1977, which rezoned the golf course parking lot property from Special Development District No. 1 to the Public Use District. On September 14, 1977, the Town of Vail approved the Sunburst Filing 2 plat which established the golf course parking lot property as Lot 3. On December 20, 1977, the 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 5 Town of Vail approved the final plat for Sunburst Filing 3, a re-subdivision of Sunburst Filing 2. In January of 1984, the Town of Vail purchased the Vail Golf Course property from the Pulis Ranch. On October 4, 1994, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1994. In part, this ordinance repealed the Public Use District and reestablished it as the General Use District. This ordinance also established a new zone district named the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 7, 1995, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1995, which rezoned 67 properties to the Natural Area Preservation District, Outdoor Recreation District, or General Use District. Portions of the Vail Golf Course were rezoned from the Agriculture and Open Space District to the new Outdoor Recreation District. This ordinance also amended the Outdoor Recreation District to allow “golf course” as a permitted use. In 2000, the Vail Jr. Hockey Association, Vail Recreation District, and Town of Vail proposed constructing a seasonal ice rink at the Vail Golf Course driving range. To facilitate construction of the proposed seasonal ice rink, three development applications were submitted: minor subdivision, rezoning, and a conditional use permit. On September 25, 2000, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat to subdivide the golf course clubhouse and driving range sites into a new Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision and a conditional use permit for the construction of a seasonal ice rink. The Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed rezoning of the clubhouse and driving range from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. On April 17, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2001, to rezone the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision from Outdoor Recreation District to the General Use District. Adjacent property owners opposed to the seasonal ice rink subsequently filed an appeal of the ice rink approvals. A court decision on the appeal nullified the rezoning of the golf course club house and driving range due to procedural errors. The merits of the rezoning were not reviewed by the court. The Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision final plat was not executed and recorded within the one-year timeframe prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission, so the Commission’s approval of the plat expired. Rather than pursuing the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse and driving range further, the Vail Jr. Hockey Associated, Vail Recreation District, and Town of Vail chose instead to propose amendments to the Outdoor Recreation District to allow the seasonal ice rink at the golf course driving range. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 6 On October 14, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the seasonal ice rink contingent upon the Vail Town Council’s approval of amendments of the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 5, 2002, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2002, which allowed a “seasonal use or structure” as a conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 8, 2011, the Town of Vail electorate approved ballot question #1 which stated: “Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements?” On April 16, 2012, the Town of Vail (golf course property owner), in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District (golf course operator), submitted a final plat application and a rezoning application intended to facilitate future renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election. On May 14, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat creating the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Parcel and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse site from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. Based upon subsequent public input, the applicant has withdrawn those applications. Prior to submitting new development applications for renovating the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, the Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District held multiple public hearings and community open houses to obtain additional public input on a variety of golf course related issues and proposals, including: a re-zoning process for the site, proposed parameters for use of temporary tents on the clubhouse site, possible uses for the existing 18th green following realignment of the hole, parking lot access, netting for the driving range, clubhouse remodel design, including site layout, landscaping, circulation, floor plans and elevations, etc. On September 24, 2012, the Town of Vail, in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District, submitted the subject zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 7 amendments, and conditional use permit amendment applications to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. On October 11, 2012, the Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District were notified of a complaint filed by adjacent property owners in Eagle County District Court alleging the golf course renovation project violates an existing covenant on the golf course property, among other claims. At this time, the lawsuit does not prevent the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review of the three submitted development applications. On October 22, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to discuss the three submitted applications. The applicant introduced the golf course clubhouse project, public testimony was heard, the Commission asked questions of the applicant, and the public hearing was continued to this meeting. At its November 7, 2012, public hearing the Design Review Board held a conceptual review of the proposed clubhouse renovation. The applicant introduced the golf course clubhouse project, public testimony was heard, the Board asked questions of the applicant. The following is a summary of the conceptual comments from the Design Review Board: • The Board was generally complimentary of the building design direction and the proposed landscaping plan. • The clubhouse should have traditional, mountain architecture detailing; rather than contemporary, mountain architecture detailing. • There needs to be are consistent architectural theme among all the golf course buildings. • The proposed primary roof ridge should be “broken up” with a ridgeline step, dormer, architectural projection, or some other method. • The north elevation of the clubhouse building should be more decorative. • Exterior signage should be considered at this time and not at the end of the project design development. • The vehicle entrance should be visually enhanced to reduce confusion about which driveway should be used to enter the site. • Electric power should be incorporated into the landscape plan to facilitate the lighting of a “holiday tree” or trees.

The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows: 1. General Growth / Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 9 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2. Skier / Tourist Concerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.

REVIEW CRITERIA ZONE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AMENDMENT Before acting on a zone district boundary amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this proposal: 1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town. The proposed rezoning is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re- allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Golf Course parking lot is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan and zoned General Use District. The adjacent portions of the Vail Golf Course are also designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan, but zoned Outdoor Recreation District. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 18 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the following general and specific purposes of the Town’s adopted Zoning Regulations: 12-1-2: Purpose: A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 19 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District identified in Section 12-8B-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents. A “golf course” is allowed as a permitted use in the Outdoor Recreation District and as a conditional use in the General Use District. The proposed rezoning continues to allow the existing golf course parking lot on the subject site. The existing golf course parking lot can be expanded or modified under both the existing and proposed zoning. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 20 Staff finds that the proposed rezoning of the subject property will not alter the suitability of the existing golf course parking lot on the site or with surrounding use. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. Staff believes the existing golf course parking lot currently has a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship among land uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Staff does not believe the proposed rezoning of the subject property will alter this relationship. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole. The majority of the Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan and zoned Outdoor Recreation District. The applicant is proposing that the golf course parking lot be zoned the same district as the adjacent golf course areas. Therefore, Staff does not believe the applicant’s proposal constitutes a spot zoning and therefore finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features. The existing golf course parking lot may continue and may be expanded or modified under both the existing and proposed zoning. Staff finds that rezoning of this property from the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District will not alter the impacts on the natural environment in comparison to existing conditions. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. As identified above, Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District as outlined in Section V of this memorandum. Therefore, Staff believes the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 21 As further described in Section III, Background, of this memorandum, the subject golf course parking lot (Lot 3) was originally an element of the Sunburst development and separated from the golf course by a proposed street. Sunburst Drive was subsequently realigned and Lot 3, along with some residential lots located to the southeast, became adjacent to the golf course and separated from the majority of the Sunburst development. While part of the Sunburst development, Lot 3 was zoned as part of Special Development District #1 and then rezoned to the Public Use District. The Public Use District was subsequently amended and renamed the General Use District. Staff finds that it is necessary to zone the golf course parking lot the same district as the adjacent golf course areas (including the clubhouse) to achieve the efficient and effective implementation of the Town’s zoning regulations. Staff finds that the zoning of these two golf course areas as different zone districts to no longer be appropriate. 8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. PRESCRIBED REGULATION AMENDMENT Before acting on a prescribed regulation amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this proposal: 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and The proposed text amendment is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the following general and specific purposes of the Town’s adopted Zoning Regulations: 12-1-2: Purpose: A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 22 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District identified in Section 12-8B-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and The proposed text amendment is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re-allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 23 The applicant is proposing an increase in the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District for golf course clubhouses. The subject Vail Golf Course in the only golf course in town and the subject clubhouse is the golf course clubhouse in Vail. The existing clubhouse building is constructed to the current maximum building height of 24 feet. The existing building height and existing height limits of the Outdoor Recreation District limit the design options for renovating the existing building. The proposed height limits would provide additional flexibility in renovating the existing clubhouse building. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment will better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town. The Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 24 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Therefore, Staff believes that this proposal complies with this criterion. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and The applicant is proposing an increase in the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District for golf course clubhouses. The subject Vail Golf Course in the only golf course in town and the subject clubhouse is the golf course clubhouse in Vail. The existing clubhouse building is at the current maximum building height of 24 feet. The existing building height and existing height limits of the Outdoor Recreation District limit the design options for renovating the existing building. The proposed height limits would provide additional flexibility in renovating the existing clubhouse building. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment is consistent with this criterion. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and The proposed allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District that is limited in scope to golf course clubhouses. At this time, the amendment would not affect any other Outdoor Recreation District zoned property, since the subject clubhouse is the only golf course clubhouse at the only golf course in Vail. The proposed building height limits are the same as those applied to the adjacent residential houses along Sunburst Drive which are zoned Two-Family Primary/Secondary District and Special Development District #24. Staff finds that the proposed increase in height will not alter the building bulk and scale of the existing clubhouse to a degree inconsistent with the existing character of the building or neighborhood. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment is consistent with this criterion. 5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 25 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re-allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. Staff finds that the proposed conditional use permit amendments maintain the historic uses of the clubhouse and surrounding grounds for golf, Nordic, and banquet, wedding, community event activities and operations. Staff also finds that the proposed conditional use permit amendments will facilitate the updating and upgrading of the aged, existing clubhouse facility to be more in keeping with the Town of Vail’s stated vision and mission: “Our Vision - To be the Premier Mountain Resort Community! Our Mission - We will provide the citizens of Vail and our guests superior services, outstanding environmental stewardship and an abundance of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities.” The Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 26 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods.

General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 27 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Staff also finds the proposed amendments to a conditional use permit to be consistent with the purposes of Chapter 12-16, Conditional Use Permit, Vail Town Code. Section 12-16-1: Purpose; Limitations: In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties in the Town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the Town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendments to an existing conditional use permit meet this review criterion. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 28 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. The proposed amendments to the conditional use permit will allow for the construction of updates and improvements to the subject public recreation facilities. As further identified in the applicant’s request, the proposed renovation of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse includes: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” As part of this conditional use permit amendment proposal, the applicant is proposing a management and operations plans (Attachment F). Staff finds that the proposed management and operations plans minimizes any negative impacts of this proposal on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff also finds that the proposed management and operations plan minimizes impacts of this proposal on neighboring property owners. The proposed management and operations plan addresses the following elements: • Golfer grill and patio • Banquet room, banquet patio, and banquet lawn • Tents • Golf cart access and flow • Parking and parking management • Lighting 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 29 • Noise and amplified sound • Hours of operation • Use of the old 18th green • Neighbor notification and liaison • Approval process and amendments to the plan Staff finds the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit, along with the restrictions imposed by the management and operations plan are consistent with this review criterion. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The proposed amendment to a conditional use permit includes modifications to the golf course traffic patterns and upgrades to the configuration and design of the parking lot. These modifications will better accommodate and delineate vehicular arrival and access, patron drop-off, bus maneuvering, trash pickup, delivery access, and emergency vehicle staging than the existing conditions. The existing bus stop along Sunburst Drive will be maintained. Additionally, the existing driveway curb-cuts will also be maintained, rather than being relocated to the south, not create additional conflicts between vehicular traffic and pedestrian/bicycle traffic along Sunburst Drive. The proposed management and operations plan addresses both parking lot snow storage/removal and parking management to improve the functionality of the golf course parking lot compared to existing conditions. The proposed management and operations plan includes the following parking management elements: • Scheduling • Employee parking • Parking lot attendant • Valet parking • Shuttles The traffic study of the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit (Attachment H) concludes that: “Based on road capacity standards. Sunburst Drive in its existing condition is capable of accommodating the potential traffic increase from the proposed remodeling of the Vail Golf Course Club House.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit, along with the restrictions imposed by the management and operations plan are consistent with this review criterion. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 30 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The proposed amendments to the conditional use permit will facilitate the remodel of the existing aged and worn Vail Golf Course clubhouse building and grounds. As a remodel utilizing an existing building foundation, the location of the clubhouse building and its general bulk and mass are similar to existing conditions. Staff finds the proposed amendment to a conditional use permit is consistent with the scale and bulk, architectural style, and aesthetic character of the surrounding uses. As identified elsewhere in this memorandum and in the applicant’s proposal, this proposal includes numerous upgrades to the existing clubhouse: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” Staff finds that these updates and upgrades to the existing facilities will have a positive impact on the character of surrounding area consistent with this criterion. The applicant is proposed a management and operations plan addresses the following elements: • Golfer grill and patio • Banquet room, banquet patio, and banquet lawn • Tents 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 31 • Golf cart access and flow • Parking and parking management • Lighting • Noise and amplified sound • Hours of operation • Use of the old 18th green • Neighbor notification and liaison • Approval process and amendments to the plan Staff finds that the various elements of the proposed management and operations plan will further minimize any negative effects upon the neighboring property owners and the character of surrounding area consistent with this criterion.

While no changes will be made to existing uses that have been in place at the Club House for the past forty years, the remodel will make significant upgrades to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. A dedicated space for banquets and other functions is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant, improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and improved lockers, circulation, restrooms. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the Club House and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the Club House. The following information is provided below: • Project Introduction, • Approach to design of project, • Applications submitted, • Background on the Club House and this proposal, and • Development applications. This application has been submitted on behalf of the Public Works Department of the Town of Vail in conjunction with participation of the Vail Recreation District (VRD). PROJECT INTRODUCTION In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. In the fall of 2011, voters endorsed the use of Conference Center funds for three projects – Golf Course Club House improvements, improvements to the Ford Amphitheater and improvements to Ford Park. Specific improvements for each of these projects were defined in response to the underlying goals articulated in the 2011 ballot language: 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 2 Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements? The main improvements envisioned for the Club House included a new, dedicated Banquet Room and a number of other improvements to the Club House that would significantly improve nordic and golf course operations and the overall aesthetics and guest experience of those who use the Club House. APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT At a very general level, the following vision statement for the project has played a major role in design decisions over the past months: “… to design a facility that broadens the appeal of golf and nordic facilities while expanding the opportunities for year around use, by creating a unique and special sense of place that is aligned with guest expectations for a world class destination resort . . .” This broad vision statement has influenced the overall direction of the project design. However, many other factors including but not limited to the development program, operations, existing conditions and the overall characteristics of the site have directly influenced the team’s approach to project design. A plan set of proposed improvements has been submitted under separate cover. Specific parameters used in the project design included: • Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses, 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 3 • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget. APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED Three related development applications are proposed in order to facilitate the remodel of the Club House. These include: 1. Rezoning a portion of the Club House area from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR), 2. A text amendment to the OR District to increase allowable building height for golf course club houses from 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof) to 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof), and 3. Amendment to existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for modifications to the Club House. The PEC’s review of this project will involve one or more public hearings, the purpose of which will be to introduce the project, address the PEC and the public’s initial questions and comments, scope potential issues and get other input on the project, and eventually, PEC action. BACKGROUND ON THE CLUB HOUSE AND THIS PROPOSAL Following an election in the fall of 2011 in which voters endorsed a reallocation of a portion of Conference Center Funds to the Club House project, the Town assembled a project team and design work on project began earlier this year. Since that time the team has held numerous meetings with the Town Council and the Recreation Sub-Committee to define the scope of the project and to review progress on the design of the project. In July a neighborhood meeting was held at the Club House to gather input from the public regarding issues and concerns with the project. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 4 This past summer and early fall the project team held a series of public work sessions with the Town Council. The focus of these work sessions was to discuss all aspects of the project, specifically dealing with neighborhood issues/concerns and potential alternatives for how the zoning, project design and operation of the modified Club House can address neighborhood concerns. In 1986 a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the Club House was approved by the PEC. Main elements of the ’86 expansion was new golf cart storage, expansion of the bar/dining area, a new meeting room and an expanded kitchen. The Club House has not seen any significant upgrades since the ’86 expansion. The Vail Golf Course is located on portions of Vail Village Filing 7, Vail Village Filing 8 and on a number of unplatted parcels. The existing Club House is located on a +/-90 acre unplatted parcel that is zoned Outdoor Recreation (OR). An area generally encompassing the Club House parking lot is located on Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and is currently zoned General Use (GU). In both districts “golf courses” are a permitted use and “accessory buildings” (i.e. the Club House) are a conditional use. As such, an amendment to the current CUP is necessary in order to allow for the planned remodeling of the Club House. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS The following summarizes the three development applications proposed for the Vail Golf Course Club House project. Rezoning of Parking Lot from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR) Currently the Club House area is zoned two different zone districts. The parking lot is zoned GU while the Club House building and immediately surrounding area is zoned OR. Having what is essentially one development site zoned two different zone districts creates an awkward situation and this rezoning request is proposed in large part to remedy this existing situation. Either the OR or GU district could provide a suitable and workable zoning for the golf course Club House area. Based in large part on input from the community, the GU portion of the Club House area is proposed to be rezoned to OR. Many residents in the golf course neighborhood expressed concern with the board range of land uses that could be proposed under GU zoning. In response to this concern the proposed rezoning would designate the entire Club House area as OR. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed change to zone district are as follows: 1. How the proposed change in district boundaries is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 5 Response The change in district boundaries is proposed in large part to resolve the existing condition of the club house area being zoned two different zone districts. Either the GU district or the OR district can provide a zone designation suitable for the operation of the golf course and the club house. The purpose of the change to district boundaries is to eliminate confusion inherent in both zone districts being in place. 2. How the proposed change in district boundaries is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. Response Either the GU or the OR district could provide a zone designation suitable for the operation of the golf course and Club House. The proposal to rezone the GU portion of the Club House area to OR is proposed specifically in response to neighborhood concerns with the wide range of potential uses that could be proposed under GU zoning. As such, the rezoning is proposed specifically to ensure compatibility and a suitable relationship to adjacent uses and properties. 3. How the proposed change in district boundaries is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Response The proposed rezoning to OR will establish a zoning mechanism that includes permissible uses and other development controls that will allow for the ongoing operation of the Golf Course and Club House which furthers the health, welfare and safety of the entire community. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 6 Outdoor Recreation Zone District - Building Height Code Amendment The OR district currently limits building height to 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof). Simply stated, this height limitation creates a significant design constraint in creating a quality interior space within any golf course club house, including this Club House. This limitation is also the most restrictive height limitation of any zone district within the Town. In order to establish a building height that will allow for the design of an appropriate, quality golf course club house, a code amendment to allow for building height of 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof) is proposed. The following text amendment is proposed to section 12-8B-7 of the Outdoor Recreation zone district of the Vail Town Code: 12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course club houses, for a flat or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty feet (30’'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’). The rationale for this text amendment is as follows: • The 21’/24’ building height limit in the OR District is the most restrictive height limitation in any zone district. • The 21’/24’ building height does not provide sufficient height to create quality interior spaces. • As proposed, the amendment would allow building height of 30’/33’ for a “golf course club house” only, which effectively limits this height increase from being utilized on other OR zoned properties which do not have a golf course club house. • The 30’/33’ building height proposed for golf course club houses is consistent with allowable building heights on other similar buildings in the Town. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed amendment to the zoning code are as follows: 1. How the proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. Response The proposed amendment would establish some consistency with how other properties in the vicinity are treated and also allow building height sufficient to create a well-designed, quality golf course club house. 2. How the proposed amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 7 Response Though the text amendment would apply generally to all districts zoned OR with a golf course club house, currently, only this property has a golf course club house. As it relates to this property, the proposed text amendment would allow for building heights that are consistent with allowable building height of properties in the vicinity of this Club House. As such, the scale of buildings at this Club House would be in keeping with those of the surrounding neighborhood. 3. How the proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Response The proposed text amendment would allow for building heights sufficient to design and construct a well-designed, quality golf course club house, which promotes recreation, tourism and the economy of the Town of Vail, which in turn is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Amendment to Existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) A CUP is currently in place for the Vail Golf Course Club House. An amendment to this CUP is proposed to allow for the remodeling of the Club House. Historically the Club House has been an accessory use to the golf course during summer months (cart storage, lockers, food and beverage, pro shop, offices, etc.), and has been used by the Vail Nordic Center during winter months. Throughout the year the Club House has traditionally been used to host banquets, parties and other functions, a use that is very common in golf course club houses throughout the county. When used for banquets and other functions the bar/restaurant area has a seated capacity of approximately 120 people. While this space has been used for these purposes for many years, the existing CUP includes no specific parameters or controls regarding this use of the Club House. Proposed uses for the Club House are the same as how the building has historically been used - the Golf Course will utilize the Club House in the summer, the Nordic Center will utilize the Club House in the winter and throughout the year the Banquet Room in the Club House will be used for banquets and other functions. With this remodel, the uses in the Club House will remain the same, however significant upgrades will be made to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. The Banquet Room, a dedicated space for banquets and other functions with a capacity of 200 people, is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant (intended primarily to serve golfers), improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and improved lockers, circulation and 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 8 restrooms. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the Club House and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the building. The CUP includes two main elements – the Development Plan (comprehensive design drawings of the proposed building and site improvements and a Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan (Operations Plan), a document outlining how the Club House will be used and managed. The CUP also includes a diagram defining the area covered by the CUP (see below). This area includes the Club House, parking lot and the immediately surrounding area. Improvements planned for the Club House are located within this area and commitments or obligations outlined in the proposed Operations Plan pertain to this area. Below is a summary of the Development Plan and the Operations/Management Plan. Development Plan In accordance with submittal requirements for a CUP, a Development Plan for the project has been submitted. This plan provides comprehensive information on the design of the building and site/landscape improvements. Information provided includes building elevations and floor plans, roof plan, site plan, landscape plan, grading plan and lighting plan. The Development Plan has been submitted under separate cover. The proposed building and site improvements have been designed to conform to all zoning/development standards as outlined in the OR Zone District (assuming the 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 9 proposed height amendment is approved). The following table summarizes these standards: Standard Minimum Proposed Lot Area/Site Dimensions N/A 91.76 acres (1) Setbacks 20’ (all sides) 38’ front 510’ side 203’side Building Height (2) 30’/33’ 33’ Density N/A Site Coverage 5% of site area, or 197,631SF (3) 23,510SF .006% Landscape Area Determined by DRB (4) Parking 122 spaces 124 spaces (1) Includes unplatted parcel (90.75 ac) and Lot 3 (1.01 ac) (2) Indicates proposed OR building height via text amendment, existing building height limitation is 21’/24’ (3) Figure reflects 5% of acreage of unplatted tract on which the Club House is located (4) Landscape area of Lot 3 and the unplatted tract is estimated to be 98% Parking requirements for the proposed Club House can be satisfied with minor expansion and re-organization of the existing parking lot. The following summarizes how parking has been calculated for the Club House. The Town’s Zoning Code does not include parking requirements specific to a golf course. As such, parking demand for the course and Club House has been determined based on the parking that currently exists and then assessing a new parking demand for the expansion or change to any of the parking generating uses within the Club House (i.e. the Banquet Room, restaurant and pro shop). 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 10 In order to meet the Code requirement for parking, an additional 14 spaces have been added to the existing parking lot. This has been accomplished with minor refinement and re-organization of the parking lot. There is a slight reduction to the overall size of the parking lot. The existing parking lot includes only 750SF of interior landscaped area, the proposed parking lot includes 2,000SF of interior landscaped area. It should be understood that this parking, while satisfying code requirements, does not address the potential parking impacts of an event being held in the Banquet Room during peak golf course operations. In these cases, a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. Potential parking management measures that may be implemented include moving employee parking off-site, employing a valet program, and using shuttles to transport patrons of the Banquet Room to and from the Club House. This plan is an element of the Management and Operations Plan for the Club House, a copy of which has been submitted under separate cover. It is the intention of the applicant that upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 11 Management and Operations Plan The existing Club House has been used for banquets, parties and other functions for the past forty years. However, there are currently no parameters or limitations on how the Club House can be used for these purposes. It is recognized that operational parameters do need to be established in order to minimize any potential impacts of the Club House on the immediate neighborhood. By way of example, the proposed Operations Plan will address topics such as hours of operation, lighting and noise. The VRD has been directly involved in the preparation of the proposed Operations Plan for the Club House. This plan is considered to be a key element of the CUP and it is expected that it will be incorporated into any final approval for the project. A copy of the proposed Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan has been submitted under separate cover. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed CUP are as follows: 1. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 12 Response The uses proposed by this amendment to the existing CUP are the same as the uses that have taken place in the building for many years. A notable change to existing conditions is the creation of a dedicated room for banquets and other functions – the Banquet Room. The existing room can accommodate +/-120 people and the new Banquet Room will have a maximum capacity of 200 people. To ensure compatibility with other properties in the vicinity, a number of management and operational parameters are included in the proposed Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan. This Plan addresses use of the building, hours of operations, tents, parking management, noise/amplified sound, use of the previous 18th green area and neighborhood relations. 2. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Response In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. The purpose of the project is directly in keeping with the Town’s development objectives. 3. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facility’s needs. Response The project will enhance golf and nordic skiing operations and also create new community space that can be used for a variety of public needs. Improvements to the existing parking lot will improve operational aspects of the Town’s bus system that services the Golf Course neighborhood. 4. The effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking area. Response The larger, dedicated Banquet Room within the Club House will allow for larger groups and more frequent functions within the Banquet Room. This will result in increased traffic on Sunburst Drive. However, this 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 13 incremental increase in traffic is not significant when compared to background traffic in the neighborhood generated by existing residences, the golf course/nordic center itself and the existing banquet functions that occur at the Club House. Sunburst Drive has the capacity to accommodate increased traffic volume from the proposed CUP. Striped bicycle lanes currently exist along both side of Sunburst Drive from its intersection with Vail Valley Drive to just beyond the Club House. Parking for the golf course and the proposed CUP will be provided within the golf course parking lot. The existing lot will be increased in size by 12 spaces in order to provide the number of parking as prescribed by the Vail Town Code. It should be noted that this parking, while satisfying code requirements, does not address the potential parking impacts of a function being held in the banquet room during peak golf course operations. In these cases a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. By way of example, potential parking management measures that may be implemented include moving employee parking off-site, employing a valet program, and using shuttles to transport patrons of the Banquet Room to and from the Club House. This plan is an element of the proposed Management and Operations Plan for the Club House, a copy of which has been submitted under separate cover. It is the intention of the applicant that upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. 5. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Response The scale of the improved Club House proposed is in keeping with the scale of buildings in the surrounding area. With a dedicated Banquet Room for banquets and other functions, the frequency and size of functions hosted in the building will likely increase from what has occurred in the recent past. In response to this and to minimize the potential for negative effects from the proposed use on surrounding uses, a Management and Operations Plan has been proposed. This Plan addresses use of the building, hours of operations, tents, parking management, noise/amplified sound, use of the previous 18th green area and neighborhood relations. Other than the Vail Town Code, there are currently no parameters governing the use of the existing facility. 5/7/2013 MEMORANDUM To: Bill Gibson From: Tom Braun CC: Greg Hall Date: November 6, 2012 RE: Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel As per your request, the following is in response to questions and comment you have provided from the October 22 °a PEC hearing. Provide a comparison of the Donovan Pavilion and the Banquet Room proposed for the Club House. The Donovan Pavilion web page indicates the total SF of the facility to be 5,200 SF (the main, large room is + /- 3200SF) and that the Pavilion is capable of accommodating 250 people for weddings and sit -down dinners, 350 people for receptions and 300 people using theater seating. An additional 100 -120 people can be accommodated on the outdoor patio. The Banquet Room proposed for the Club House is 2,728 SF and the capacity of the room is proposed to be limited to200 people. The Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn are available for use inconjunction with the Banquet Room; however this does not change the200 person capacity limitation. Provide an overlayshowing the layout of the existing conditions /18`h green compared to the proposed clubhouse and practice green. An overlay of the 18th green and the existing and proposed building is found at the end of this memo. Provide a traffic report. A traffic and parking analysis has been submitted to the Public Works Department. Provide additional outdoor seating areas for Nordics users. The designteam is looking at potentiallocations for outdoor seating. This will likely occur in areas that will be used by the nordic center in the winter and the golf course in the summer. As such, it is anticipated thatseating will be portable and that the type, amount and location of outdoor seating will ultimately be determined by the golf course and nordic centeroperators and ultimately be addressed at final DRB review. Can overflow day skier parking be controlled to not displace Nordic users? 5/7/2013 Yes, the PublicWorks Department managesthe Golf Course parking lot. In winter months first priority is to ensure ample parking for the nordic center. The availability for day skier parking in this lot (if any) varies throughout the year as determined byPublic Works. It is anticipated that once construction of this project begins that day skier parking at the golf course will be eliminated. Why is the existing foundation being saved? From the outset of the project this has been considered a "remodel" and the approach to the design effort has been to utilize as much of the existing building as reasonably possible while still addressing other project goals. The design team believesthat the re- use of the foundation will proveto be a cost effective approach. Does the proposed patio have enough sunlight to accommodate evening wedding events? Dependingupon the time of year and time of day the Banquet Room Patio will get sunlight. Obviously at some point each day the Club House will cast a shadowon the patio. Can the landscape buffer be increased to the south of the parkinglot. The existing parkinglot extends to the south end of Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3. A 4' to 6' retaining wall is located immediately adjacentto the parking lot. Based on a survey found while researching townfiles it appears that the retaining wall is located on the adjoining residential lot (presumably done to create a "fill" situation for lawn adjacent the home). Remodel plans for the Club House do notcontemplate making any changes to this wall. While the Vail Town Code stipulates that the perimeter of parking lots include a10' landscape buffer, the existingparking lot is an existing, non - conforming condition and section 12 -18 -2 Continuance allows for such non - conforming conditions to remain. Introducing a buffer in this area would significantly reduce the number of parking spaces that can be provided within the lot. Remodel plans for the Club House do not contemplatechanging this portion of the parking lot. You also highlighted public comments made at this hearing and inquired as to whether the proposal has been modified to address any of these comments. Below are the comments /questions that have been addressed by the proposal thus far: No pavilion, no tents, etc. The developmentplansubmitted for this project has never included a "pavilion ". Temporary placement of tents is addressed in the Management and Operations Plan (tents are only permitted with town approval via the Special Events or Conditional Use process. 2 5/7/2013 2. 18" greenareashouldn'tbe included in the CUP area. Contrary to opinions expressed by the public, the applicant believesthat defining a "CUP Area" provides a means of establishingcontrols for the operation of the Club House. By way of example, neighbors expressed concern over how the 181h green area could be used in the future. A commitment has been made by the applicant to maintainthis area as a practice /teaching green (a use many neighbors said wasacceptable) and the "CUP Area" was drawn to include this area so it can be incorporated into the CUP approval. It is notedthat the majority of the PEC agreed with this approach. 3. Construct or stripe bike lanes, add share -o markings, etc. along Sunburst Drive to address potential bike /pedestrianand vehicle conflicts. Striped bike lanes currently exist from the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst Drive. The Public Works Department agrees to signs informing motorists and bicyclist of these lanes. 4. Inadequate parking today and as proposed. The Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan outlines parameters for when functions held at the Banquet Room will necessitate implementation of a Parking Management Plan. While not specifically raised during public comment at the October 22 °a hearing, a number of changes have beenmade to the Club House proposal in direct response to concernsraised by the public. These include: Review Process — Due to concerns raised with rezoning being proposed prior to submittal of a development plan, this past summer the applicant withdrew the rezoning application agreed to submit a combinedrezoning/development application. GeneralUse Zone District — In response to concerns with the broad range of potential land uses permitted by the GU district, there- zoning proposal was modified to rezoning the club house are to Outdoor Recreation. Parking lot on 18th green — Early design concepts for the project includes a new parking lot where the 18th green is currently located. This idea was eliminated from consideration. New Accessto parking lot — Early designconcepts included shifting access points to the parking lot to the south. In response toconcerns of neighbors this idea has been deleted. Refinementsto Parking Lot — Maintaining existing landscaping along the west and east sides of the parkinglot was a primary consideration in the design of the parkinglot. All trees along the west side of the lot will be maintained and only ten trees are expected to be removed from the east side of the lot. 5/7/2013 Future use of 181h Green area — In response to uncertainty as to how this area might be used in the future, the Club House Management and Operations Plan stipulates that this area is to be used in the future as a teaching and practice green. Size /Capacity of Banquet Room /Impacts of Use on Neighborhood — A maximum capacity for the Banquet Room has been set at 200 persons (this is inclusive of the patio and lawn areas). The Club House Management and OperationsPlanincludes a number of parameters (lighting, hours of operation, noise, etc.) intended to minimize impacts of the Club House on the surrounding neighborhood. Significant amounts of new landscaping are proposed south of the Club House and around the 18th green in order to provide a buffer to immediate neighbors. 4 5/7/2013 5 5/7/2013 ! ! ! !

The Plan is an element of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application that has been submitted to the Town, the purpose of which is to facilitate the remodeling of the Club House. Upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. For the last 40 years the Vail Golf Club and Nordic Center has successfully operated the Club House hosting numerous social events and public functions without a formal management and operations plan. It is the intention of this Plan to document how the Club House will be operated with specific measures intended to minimize the impacts of the Club House on the immediate neighborhood and in doing so provide the community with a clear understanding of how the Club House will operate. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 2 Vail Golf Course Club House The Clubhouse includes the following primary uses: Golf Pro Shop Nordic Center Support Offices Golfer Grille and deck Banquet Room/Banquet Patio/Banquet Lawn Lockers/Restrooms/Circulation/Storage Cart Barn The total gross floor area of the building is approximately 21,841 SF. The project site plan and main level floor plan are found below. These plans are provided as a point of reference as they identify specific uses and or features of the Club House that are referenced in this Plan. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 3 Proposed Management and Operations Plan This section outlines how various elements of the Club House will be managed and operated. A. Golfer Grille and Patio The Golfer Grille will be located on the second level and north side of the Club House. The Grille will have an enclosed seating area for approximately 40 persons and outdoor seating for approximately another 25 persons. This space is primarily intended to serve the golfer, however depending on demand the Golfer Grille may also operate in non-golf seasons or may be operated to complement the Nordic Center. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 4 B. Banquet Room, Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn The Banquet Room will be made available to the public as a space for both private functions and for community-oriented activities. Examples of how the room may be used include, but are not limited to banquets, parties, receptions, weddings, lectures, fund-raisers, business meetings and other similar functions. The Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn provide outdoor spaces that can be used in conjunction with the Banquet Room. The maximum number of attendees for functions at the Banquet Room will vary depending upon the type of function and seating arrangement (i.e. table seating, theater seating, etc); however in no instances shall the use of the Banquet Room exceed 200 attendees. C. Tents The temporary placement of tents within the CUP Area shall not be permitted unless specifically approved via the Town of Vail Special Events permit process or the CUP process. D. Golf Cart Access and Flow The golf cart access and flow is being positioned to the north side of the Club House so that golfers and patrons of the Banquet Room are not in conflict. Cart pick up will occur at the northwest side of the building. Golf cart drop off will occur on the northeast side of the Club House. The intent is to provide a seamless experience for the golfer and for other users of the Club House. E. Parking and Parking Management A Parking Management Plan shall be implemented in order to adequately provide for the parking demands of the Club House and specifically the Banquet Room. The underlying goal of the Parking Management Plan will be to ensure that the parking needs associated with the Banquet Room are provided within the golf course parking lot in a manner that does not result in parking on Sunburst Drive. 124 spaces are provided within the Club House parking lot (this includes four spaces in the “drive-through lane). These spaces provide parking in conformance with the Vail Town Code and are considered adequate to meet the typical daily needs of the Golf Course and the Nordic Center. During non-peak periods of the Golf Course and Nordic Center (non-peak periods include both the spring/fall golf seasons and late afternoon and evening hours for both the Golf Course and Nordic Center) the existing parking lot is of sufficient size to accommodate the parking demands of the Banquet Room. At other times during the golf and nordic seasons the 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 5 use of the Banquet Room may necessitate the implementation of one or more measures intended to manage parking needs to ensure that parking does not occur on Sunburst Drive. The VRD will determine the specific parking management measures to be implemented based on the time of year, time of day and the number of participants expected to be utilizing the Banquet Room. In addition, consideration will also be given to other events that may be occurring at the Golf Course or Nordic Center. Collectively, the measures to be implemented will constitute the Parking Management Plan for that event. Elements of the Parking Management Plan may include, but not be limited to: Scheduling - VRD will schedule the use of the Banquet Room so as to not coincide with major events or during periods of peak use of the Golf Course and Nordic Center. Employee Parking – approximately 15 parking spaces can be made available for Banquet Room parking by requiring Golf Course and Banquet Room employees to park off site (at either the Town of Vail Public Works shops or the Golf Course Maintenance Facility). Parking lot attendant – the parking lot may be managed by an attendant prior to and during events at the Banquet Room in order to direct users to appropriate parking areas and ensure proper implementation of the Parking Management Plan. Valet parking – approximately 30 additional parking spaces can be created utilizing a valet parking program. Shuttles – utilizing shuttle vans or buses to transport users of the Banquet Room from local hotels and/or from the Vail Transportation Center or other locations. The Parking Management Plan to be implemented (if any) and the costs associated to implement such measures will be documented in the rental agreement with the user of the Banquet Room. In such cases where a Parking Management Plan is required the rental agreement may also include a parking compliance deposit. This deposit will be held by the VRD and refunded following successful adherence to the Parking Management Plan. In conjunction with any rental of the Banquet Room the VRD will notify the Town of Vail in a timely manner of the date, time and number of participants of the rental and the Parking Management Plan to be implemented. In the event that the Parking Management Plan has not been successful in preventing parking on Sunburst Drive the Town will 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 6 meet with the VRD to understand the circumstances of why the management measures were not successful. The Town of Vail may, at its sole discretion, exercise review/approval authority over Parking Management Plans. The Vail Town Council may meet with the VRD to review operations of the Banquet Room and specifically the performance of the Parking Management Plans. The parking of cars along Sunburst Drive is prohibited, provided however, that the Town of Vail may grant exceptions and allow parking along Sunburst Drive for unique circumstances. Such exceptions may be granted only after review and approval of a permit by the Town of Vail. In such cases road side parking will be managed and controlled by the VRD. No overnight parking will be allowed within the parking lot except for Town or VRD vehicles as may be required from time to time. The parking lot will not be used for golf cart storage. F. Lighting Exterior lighting shall conform to all applicable Town ordinances. Unless necessary for safety or security reasons or as required by building or other codes, all exterior lights will be turned off within one hour after the conclusion of an event at the Banquet Room or one-half hour after the time the Club House closes. Window glass treatments and/or curtains may be used to shield lighting from the interior of the Club House. G. Noise and Amplified Sound All uses and all activities within the Club House, including the Banquet Room, Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn shall conform to the Town of Vail Noise Ordinance. Ambient music is permitted on the Banquet Patio and the deck of the Golfer Grill. Temporary outdoor amplification of sound on the Banquet Patio or Banquet Lawn is permitted in accordance with the following parameters: 1) amplification for a person speaking to a group or officiating a wedding, ceremony or similar activity, 2) amplification for live music performed during a wedding, ceremony or similar activity, and 3) no amplification of any kind shall occur after 8:00 p.m. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 7 The Banquet Room will be air conditioned so that the windows can be closed to minimize noise from within these areas. All windows of the Banquet Room will be closed at any time amplified music occurs after 8:00 p.m. All users of the Club House will be informed that the Club House is located on a municipal public golf course and within a residential neighborhood and will be required to agree to respect the quiet enjoyment of the neighboring properties in any rental agreement. Appropriate penalties will be put in place by the VRD to ensure groups understand the conditions under which they are using the Club House. Penalties will be clearly provided for in rental agreements and may include revoking a compliance deposit for violating this section. The VRD or catering company will have appropriate staff present to enforce any violations of the rental agreement during the operation of the Banquet Room. H. Hours of Operation Hours of operation for the Club House shall correspond to the normal hours of use for the Golf Course and Nordic Center. Hours of operations for the Banquet Room shall be from 8:00 am to 12:00 am.; provided, however, that exceptions to these hours may be made for holidays (i.e. New Years Eve) and other special events. In such cases the VRD calendar of events shall specifically indicate the hours of the event. In no cases shall use of the Banquet Patio or Banquet Room Lawn by an event be permitted past 10:00 pm. I. Use of Old 18th Green The “old” 18th green shall be used as a practice and teaching green for putting, chipping and golf-related instruction. J. Parking Lot Snow Storage Snow storage for the Club House parking lot will be located at the south end of the parking lot. As deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works, during the course of the winter snow stored in the parking lot may be removed and trucked to a remote location. K. Neighbor Notification and Liaison The VRD will post a calendar of events on its website in order to keep the neighborhood informed of activities at the Club House, including use of the Banquet Room. Notice of events shall include a description of the event, the anticipated number of participants and the hours of the event. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 8 The VRD will designate a neighborhood liaison as a point of contact for neighbors who have questions or concerns about the management and operation of the Club House. The Town of Vail and the VRD may meet to review the management of the Club House, to discuss any issues that may have arisen and to discuss potential changes to the management and operation of the Club House. This meeting shall be open to the public. L. Approval Process and Amendments to this Plan This Plan is approved by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission as an element of the CUP for the remodel of the Vail Golf Course Club House. Amendments to this Plan shall be reviewed and approved in accordance with Chapter 16, Conditional Use Permits, of Title 12 Zoning Regulations, of the Vail Town Code. 5/7/2013 VAIL GOLF COURSE CLUB HOUSE Traffic Analysis November 9, 2012 Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to provide an evaluation of the traffic impacts of the proposed re‐model of the Vail Golf Course Club House. The re‐model project involves a relatively small increase to the size of the Club House from 18,667 SF to 21,627 SF. All current uses within the existing Club House will be maintained and no new uses will be added as a result of this re‐ model. A more detailed discussion of the use of the Club House is provided below. Existing Conditions Access to the subject site is provided by Vail Valley Drive/Sunburst Drive (herein referred to as Sunburst Drive). Sunburst Drive is a two‐lane road that dead‐ends approximately ½ mile past the Club House. Bike lanes are striped on both sides of Sunburst Drive from the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst to just past the Club House. Between the Frontage Road/Vail Valley Drive intersection to the Club House there is only one stop‐sign controlled intersection (Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst). There are five private driveways that intersect with Sunburst Drive along this same section of roadway. In addition to the Vail Golf Course, Sunburst Drive provides access to approximately 139 residential units and a small amount of office use (in Fall Ridge Condominiums). There are no current traffic counts available for Sunburst Drive. The Vail Golf Course is an 18‐hole public golf course with a driving range, pro shop locker rooms, a 120 seat restaurant/bar and an auxiliary meeting room when combined with the restaurant can seat up to 140 persons for banquet functions. In winter months the Vail Nordic Center operates out of the Club House, however traffic related to the nordic center is significantly less than what is generated by the golf course and as such the focus of this analysis is on the summer use of the Club House. Vail Golf Course Existing Traffic Generation The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation 6th Edition includes trip generation rates for a wide variety of different land uses. These generation rates are based on actual traffic counts and reflect weighted averages for the peak hour of the land use. The ITE 5/7/2013 trip generation rate take into account all trips to the subject land use including employees, deliveries and other uses as listed in the description for each land use. “Golf Course” is a land use (430) in the ITE reference . The description is as follows: “The golf courses contained in the land use include 9, 18, 27, and 36, hole municipal courses and private county clubs. Some clubs have driving ranges and clubhouses with a pro shop and/or restaurant, lounge and banquet facilities.” The Vail Golf Club uses are consistent with the land use description in the ITE manual. Golf courses are a unique land use in terms of estimating trip generation. The following evaluations have been completed in order to estimate existing peak hour trip generation from the Club House. ITE Saturday Peak Hour The ITE trip generation rate for a Saturday PM peak hour is 4.59 trips per hole x 18 holes, or 83 total trips with 49% entering and 51 % exiting. This peak would occur in the early afternoon as verified with Vail Golf Course use numbers. ITE Weekday Peak Hour The ITE trip generation rate for the 4‐6 pm period during weekdays is 2.74 trips per hole x 18 holes or 49 total trips. The ITE PM peak hour trip generation rate is greater than the ITE PM peak hour trip generation rate between the hours of 4pm‐6pm. This trend is similar to the Vail Golf Course as the peak golf course activity times occur during the late morning‐ early afternoon time frame. ITE Manual Saturday Peak Hour ITE Code Land Use Trips per Number Total Total Total Hole of Holes Trips Entering Exiting 49% 51% Golf Course 4.59 188340 42 5/7/2013 PM Peak Hour 4pm‐6pm ITE Code Land Use Trips per Number Total Total Total Hole of Holes Trips Entering Exiting 49% 51% Golf Course 2.74 184924 25 Even though the ITE rate for Golf Course describes the existing and proposed facilities exactly, a comparison analysis is provided here to better under stand the trip generation as it relates to specific operations in Vail At the Vail Golf Course there are shot gun start tournaments where the golf course itself generates a significant amount of traffic in the peak hour. A typical 140 person tournament with a 1.5 person per car average would generate 93 vehicular trips just by itself. Whereas the typical hour of turnover of the golf course is only 48 golfers. At 1.5 persons per car this generates 32 vehicles trips for typical golfer turnover.

The current Golf Clubhouse with a 120 seat restaurant and bar with the additional capacity of the Krueger room provides 140 seat capacity, for sit down functions and the existing capacity for receptions is well over 200 people. There is little data on the average use, but it is assumed to be around 100 people. This would generate an additional number of evening (4pm – 6 pm) peak hour trips calculated as follows: 100 people/3 people per car or 33 vehicle trips for functions. 5/7/2013 This was compared to a known banquet use at the Donovan Park Pavilion. The average function size at this facility is between 140‐150 people of the 250 advertised capacity. Most all functions start within the 4‐6 pm time frame, based on information provided by Donovan Management the arrival of patrons to the facility averages 3 per car, as assumed above. The average wedding party is approximately 140 people with a noted 45 cars in the parking lot. By combing both the typical golfer turnover and estimated banquet use trip the existing peak hour trip generation of the Golf Course and Clubhouse during an event during the hours of 4pm‐6pm is 49 trips for the golf course and 33 trips for the banquet function for a total of 82 trips. This is similar to the ITE rate for Saturday peak of the golf course demand, therefore we believe the more specific comparison assumptions and relations are appropriate. Banquet PM Function Start 4‐6pm Land Use Persons Banquet Total Total Total Per Vehicle Size (Persons) Trips Entering Exiting 100%0% Donovan Park Pavilion 3 1404747 0 Existing Golf Course 3 1003333 0 Proposed Golf Course 3 1304343 0 Net 1010 0 Proposed Conditions/Traffic Generation The remodel includes a new, dedicated banquet room. The banquet room is expected to host a variety of functions, including but not limited to banquets, receptions, parties, lectures and other community events. Occupancy of this room is capped at 200 persons. For the past thirty years to the present time the 120 seat restaurant/bar of the existing Club House along with the Krueger Room has hosted these same functions. As previously stated the capacity of this existing space for sit‐down dinners is 140 people and the existing capacity for receptions is well over 200 people. As such, the “peak event” at the existing Club House could be larger than what could occur in the new banquet room. In the recent past approximately 25 functions per year have been held in the restaurant space. Planners for the remodeled Club House anticipate 60‐70 functions per year in the new banquet room. . So there is an expectation of more frequent functions in the remodeled Club House. Seventy Five percent of all functions will be occurring in the months from May to October. The new banquet room, would cap the peak capacity to 200 persons with an average of events being 130 persons. The 200 peak persons would be equivalent to the current situation. Using the banquet specific trip generation methodology described above for the average peak hour trip generator the calculation would be as follows: 130 persons arriving at a rate of 3 people per car is equal to 43 evening 5/7/2013 (4‐6pm) vehicular trips. The increase in average peak hour traffic demand is the difference between 43 and 33 trips or 10 additional trips in the peak hour during events. A conservative total average evening (4‐6pm)peak hour trip generation of the Golf Course, combining both the ITE rate and an additional banquet room facility, is 49 golf course trips (ITE) plus 43 banquet room function trips or 92 trips. This is an increase of 10 trips over the existing evening (4‐6pm) period. It is also similar to the shot gun start tournament scenario.

The Nordic Center generates significantly less traffic than the golf Course operations and its operation in the winter does not conflict with Golf Course operations, as such was not analyzed any further with regard to peak traffic generation. Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic The Town’s existing Gore Valley Trail bike path currently runs along this section of Sunburst Drive. It is not expected that the remodel of the Golf Course will add to bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the Gore Valley Trail. It is suggested that “Share the Road” signs be placed on Sunburst Drive to warn motorists of the bicycle traffic. Effect on Local Road System Based on road capacity standards. Sunburst Drive in its existing condition is capable of accommodating the potential traffic increase from the proposed remodeling of the Vail Golf Course Club House.Nordic There are no ITE trip generation rate references for Nordic Centers.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Town of Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Remodel Preliminary Drainage Memo Dear Tom: This letter is to describe the overall drainage concepts that the design team is proposing for the Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Remodel Project. The following concepts are incorporated into our current grading plan and will be confirmed via a formal drainage report as the project progress through the Town approval process: 1. Drainage from the Mountain to the South of the Project Site a) The drainage from the mountainside south of the Project has historically flooded the parking lot for this site. The worst of this flooding has historically occurred during the spring snowmelt runoff. This runoff comes down from the mountainside, crosses underneath Sunburst Drive in twin culverts, runs between the fourth and fifth houses east of the Project parking lot, and then is currently caught by the golf course service road and runs down the service road to the Project parking lot. The intent of our project, is to let this water run underneath the service road by installing culverts under the service road These pipes are currently called out as twin 24” HDPE culverts on Sheet C4.1. MARCIN will confirm these pipe sizes with calculations in the formal Drainage Report. b) Once this water is piped under the service road east of the project parking lot, the intent is to run the water in a newly constructed drainage ditch around the project as depicted on Sheet C4.1. This drainage ditch will be sized in the Drainage Report, but is preliminarily sized as being two feet deep with 4H:1V side slopes and a four foot flat bottom. These slopes will provide the ability to easily mow the ditch while mowing the surrounding golf course. The ditch will have to cross under the golf cart path with culverts and is currently depicted as going underneath one of the proposed driving range nets off the northeast corner of the building. c) As the ditch crosses in front of the north side of the Project, the ditch will pick up stormwater from the parking lot piping system and then the ditch will run northwest across the driving range and flow into the pond north of the driving range tee box. We have the proposed flowline of the ditch at the pond set two feet above the pond water surface elevation to account for two feet of freeboard in the pond. 5/7/2013 _____________________________________________________________________________________ PO Box 1062, Avon Colorado 81620 (970) 748-0274 2. Drainage from the Project Parking Lot and Building Area a) Drainage from the parking lot will be directed to the center of the parking lot and will flow down a valley pan in the center of the parking lot at the natural grade of the parking lot (ranging from 0.9% to 3%). b) At the north of the parking lot, the water will flow into a 2’x3’ valley inlet and the flow down into the drainage swale described above (see 1.c above). c) Three other inlets will catch water from the paved cart area west of the building and will drain into the same pipe system flowing north to the driving range ditch. The northerly inlet will tentatively be a naturalized ‘bioswale’ with appropriate plants to help filter sediment and chemicals in run-off while allowing infiltration back into the ground. If a ‘bioswale’ is not possible due to site constraints then a Stormceptor Water Quality Control Chamber that will treat the stormwater prior to releasing it onto the golf course will be considered in lieu of a bioswale.. d) All piping described here will be sized accordingly in the formal Drainage Report to be prepared by MARCIN. e) All other water that is not caught by the parking lot drainage system (i.e. on the south, east and north side of the building) will be graded to drain into the ditch system described in Item 1 above. The above concepts are how Marcin Engineering proposes to safely pass the rainfall and snowmelt drainage events through the site. MARCIN is open to further ideas on how to optimize these solutions and looks forward to working with the Project Team and the Town of Vail towards Construction Documents and building a successful project.

We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the GolflNordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have owned Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into town to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in town in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golf balls at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. Thank you for listening!

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. 2 5/7/2013 First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you 3 5/7/2013 would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue {information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners} and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path 2 5/7/2013 through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District. the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. 3 5/7/2013 First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over 4 5/7/2013 time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue {information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners} and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District 3 5/7/2013 has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School). the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. 4 5/7/2013 I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course T own homes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the GolflNordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have o'Wlled Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into to'Wll to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in to'Wll in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golfballs at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. Thank you for listening!

You address many of my concerns also. We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the Golf/Nordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have owned Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into town to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in town in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golf balls at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. 1 5/7/2013 Thank you for listening!

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thankyou I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I donlt know all the specifics or ifthe position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the 2 5/7/2013 parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

The slides presented to the PEC at the October 22, 2012 meeting have yet to be published, and the application materiats forthe CUP were onlyposted after 4:30 PM on Friday, November 9, 2012—yesterday's business day. The Operating Plan cannot be used as a substitute formeeting actual parking standards: In 1986, whenrequested to modifythe Conditional Use Permit toadd an occasional meeting room of approximately 500 sq. ft., the PEC required theaddition of 4.8 additional parking spaces. Today, a request to add 7,000 sq. ft. of interiorbanquet and meetingspace plus 5,000 sq. ft. of banquet lawn space (12,000 sq. ft. total) provides only 9 additional parking spaces. Linearscaling would require 115 additional spaces. The new use is NOT occasional, with a plan for 100 events in the high seasons, implying 4-5 events per week. If a dubious operating plan is accepted as an alternative to actual parking spaces, the PEC can expectevery futureapplicant to demandequal treatment. For example, a hotel could claim its operating plan requires 30% of its guest to use publictransportation. The so-called estrictions in the Operating Plan are outrageousexamples of self-dealing and are not restrictionsat all. TheTown of Vail, as the applicant for the CUP, agrees to various restrictions in the Operating Plan. But, this same Operating Plan grants thesameapplicantthe authority to exempt itself from the restrictions. Examples of such self-exemptedrestrictions are: use of tents, parking on Sunburst Drive, and hours of operation of the Event Center. Perhapsthemost accurate paragraph in the Operating Plan reads (on page 7) "the Club House is located on a municipal public golf course and within a residentialneighborhood and witlbe required to agree to respect the quiet enjoyment ofthe neighboring properties". TheCUP application and the self-exempted Operating Plan restrictions are in complete conflict with those words. The PEC is required to consider the "effect upon the character of thearea in which the proposed use is to be located, includingthe scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses." The PEC mustdenythis attempt to hijacktheClubHouse and convert it to an Events Center. If there is any doubtabout the intention to hijack the ClubHouse, consider the architect's testimonyat the November 8, 2012 DRB meeting. The DRB had several questions regarding signage and wondered how people would knowwhich entrance to the building touse. Thebuilding architect said no onecould mistake the Pavilion entrance. There would be a small door with a smallsign saying "Golf Entrance" and a large, prominent gabled entrance with a large sign saying "Events Pavilion". There is no doubt that this CUP is a hijacking of the Golf Club House and of the 18th hole to create a re-purposedEvent Center, including authorization for tents, bleachers, concessions and restrooms that does not fit the neighborhood and is not an accessory use of the golf course. The CUP must be denied. 5/7/2013 w P v'ti Vail Golf Course ClubhouselEvent Center Vail Planning and EnvironmentalCominission 12 November 2012 Index of E ibits Presented by Sunburst Drive Homeowners partial) 1.

The list of those property owners and families, and a map identifying their properties, isattached to this letter. The following analysis eYpresses most, butnot necessarily all, of the concerns and objections of the owners and residents of the properties refened to above: Mattersunder Consideration Zone District Amendment - Those onwhose behalfI speak have no objection to the zone district amendment. 2. Zone Text Amendment - Those on whose behalf I speak have no objection to the zoning text amendment, provided that the proposed 33-foot maximum height is, in fact, the maximum height, and that architectural featuressuch as towers are not permitted to exceed that height. 3. Conditional Use Permit - Everyone wishes to have a renovated golf courseclubhouse, consistent with the representations of the Vail Town Council and Town Manager in developing the ballot language relating to the use of convention center funds for that purpose in August, 2011. 5/7/2013 The Council's description of the project prior to the convention fund election was specific in that the renovated clubhouse was to be within the footprint of the existing clubhouse. Any intent to destroy any part of the 18th fairway or to use of any part of the18th fairway for an event center appropriating a significant part of the golf course was not publicized in connection with the development of the ballot question and did not receive voter or community approval. It is largelythat deparlure from the Council's commitment which has generated this controversy and the litigation in which everyone is involved today. Relationship to Existing, Conditional Use Permit The current application is characterized as an amendment to a 1986 conditional use pernut for a clubhouse, which would pernutimprovement of the clubhouse. Characterizing the project as a"clubhouse" is an attemptto achieve authorization of the project as an"accessory use" in the Outdoor Recreation zone district, as though it were related to a golf course. Notwithstanding the Town's "clubhouse" characterization, the proposed structure and uses of adjacent properiy would comprise an profit-oriented event complex which has no relationship to a golf clubhouse and which is not an accessory use to a golf course. To the best of our knowledge, no other public ar semi-public golf course in Eagle County has an event center as part of a clubhouse structure, although several communities, such as Eagle-Vail, Singletree, and EagleRanch have event centers at different locations, similar to the Donovan Pavilion. The proposed project calls for the creation of a facility which can be called a mini- convention center, which the Vail voters disapproved in 2005, or it can be called an event center. The one thing which it cannot legitimately be called is a clubhouse. It both appears to be and would function more like the Air Force Academy chapel than a golf clubhouse. Calling the Air Force Academy chapel a"clubhouse" doesn't make it a clubhouse, any more than calling an aircraft carrier a"clubhouse" makes that vessel a clubhouse. So it is with this proposed building. With reference to whether the proposed project isan "accessory use", the Municipal Code defines an accessory use as"a use or activity that is subardinate orincidental to a permitted or conditional use". The space related to golf functions in the proposedstructure, such as the pro shop and the lockerroom, represents a small fraction of the total floor area of the proposed structure. The land area which is proposed for designation as event space greatly exceeds the area adjacent to the clubhouse which is to be golf-related. A mini-convention center or events center of the nature which is proposed (including both interior and exterior features) is in no way subordinate or incidental to a permitted or conditional use", and it is not eligible for a conditional use permit in the Outdoor Recreation zone district. The Town of Vail land use regulations do not authorize the proposed project as an accessory use, and the PEC must deny the request for the proposed conditional use. 2 5/7/2013 Responses of the Communitv The Town of Vail has been provided with copies of the June-July correspondence from the golfing communiiy and has additional later communications, particularlyfrom the property owners and residents of the Sunburst neighborhood (bothSunburst Drive and Vail Golfcourse TownhouseAssociations). These communications identify objections, issues and actions requiredto eliminate or mitigate threats to the neighborhood. All of these comments are to be included in the record of these proceedings. Thismaterial specifically includesbut is not limited to various letters from Sunburst Drive property owners which have been sent to the Town during recent months and specifically a letter from the Sunburst Drive Homeowners to the PEC dated and received by the Town of Vail on the 17th day of October, 2012. If the PEC chooses to proceed with consideration of this project and actually takes action approving it, then it must consider the vast range of objections to the proposal. The June-July input from the community brought objections from morethan eighty members of the golfing community and neighborhood, and only four responses in support, making it clear that this praject was unacceptable. More recently, the Vail Recreation District indicated, in response to a reference to the June-3uly communications, that those in the golfmgcommunity who had previously objected had reversed theirposition and that therewere only a couple of golferswho objected. This is simplynot true. I contacted those in the golfing community who had previously objected and asked whether they had changed their positions. None of the previous objectars indicated that he ar she hadchanged positions. Indeed, approximately half of those who previously objected took the troubletoreconfirm their previousobjections. There is no evidence that anyone who previously objectedto the proposed project has changed his or her position. Neither has there been anychange in position in the Sunburst neighborhood. In fact, within recent weeks, upon being made aware of the pending threat, the residents and property owners of the Vail GolfcourseTownhomes have objected as well. No one favors this proposal except a majority of the Town Council andthe Vail Marketing Board, both of whom view it as a revenue generator. If the Town had an application for a projectlike this from a private party determined to destroy a neighborhood based upon a profit motive, it would nevermake it past conceptual review. The PEC should hold this application to the same standard as any other application and deny it promptly and finally. RequirementsEstablished bv the Municipal Code The Vail Municipal Code has criteria upon which the decision of the PEC is to be based, but it is important to note that the entire process itself has been flawed. Although the Town filed applications for threeactions (zone district amendment, zoning text change amendment and conditional use permit) on the 24th of September, 2012, those applications were incomplete and failed tosatisfy applicable regulations, at best. 3 5/7/2013 Only the application for the zone district amendment was clear. The property which serves as a parkinglot is to be changed toOutdoor Recreation. Thatproposal has met with no objection. The application for the zoning text change amendmentwasmare of a reference to a possible discussion of alternative proposals to address a challenge presented by the design of the proposed event center, dealing with three alternatives whichmight be requested for consideration. Only after more that a month of processing was a decision made onthemanner in which the matter would be presented for consideration. The application for a conditional use permit was incompletewhen filed and has represented a moving target since the beginning of theprocess. The application conflicts both internally and with the governing provisions of the Municipal Code. With reference to notice of the PEC hearing process, that notice was circulated to the neighborhood after the initial application, when the only certaintyrelated to the zone district amendment. Only through monitoring the progress of the matter could anyone be aware of the possibility that a real hearing would occur at some time after the initial conceptualconsideration, and most recently access to the evolution of theprocess has been denied by litigation counsel to the Town of Vail. When the PEC decides that there is a complete and final application upon which a hearing can be conducted, proper noticesshould be circulated and published, reasonable opportunity should be provided to review the final proposal, and a hearing should be publicly announced and conducted based upon those proper notices and the availability of information. Criteria Under the Munic alCode The Municipal Code establishes criteria for the granting or denial of a proposed conditional use permit, or a significant amendment to an existing conditional use permit. The PEC is requiredby 12-16-10 of the Municipal Code to review the proposal in accordance with the provisions far a newly initiated application for a conditional use permit generally. That process requires a review of the criteria applicable to an original conditional use permit. As identified by the Town staff and the Municipal Code, the criteria for determining whether a conditional use permit should be granted, and the accurate analysis (differing significantly from the analysis offered to the PEC by the Town), are the following: 1. The precise nature of the proposed use andmeasures proposed to make the use compatible with other roperties in the vicinitv. The current golf course clubhouse is a golfmg facility with a restaurant and attached space which occasionally serves to 120 people. The Town's proposedeventcenteris designed to accommodate 200people in its interior event space in addition to golf traffic, and the Town intends to convert part of a golf course into an exteriar and adjoining event center, for use 100 times each year. It is 5/7/2013 the Town's apparent position that this activity constitutes no change in use. The use of part of the current 18th fairway and the use of tents which can be permitted by the Town would increase the numbers by several hundred, bringing the total number present toat least500 people. No reasonable person could agree with an analysis which indicates that such uses are comparable to the existing use or are compatible with a residential neighborhood. The proposed changes in use will prevent the owners and residents of residences in the neighbarhood from being ableto use those residences in the way any residential property owner is entitled to expect, and the associated destruction of part of the golf course eliminates entirely an amenity which the Town agreed to respect and maintain, under what is referred to as the "Pulis covenant" (part of the attached deed) when it acquired the property almost thirty years ago. There are no measures which can be established to make the proposed use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 2. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. The Town took steps to reallocate conference center funds for expenditure on this and two other projects, but the representation made by the Town Council and Manager in order to obtain community consent to the reallocation of those funds was that the clubhouse would be renovated within the footprint of the existing building. There was no suggestion that the project wouldinvolve the conversion of the clubhouse to an event center with a de minimus golf facility or the expansion of exterior event facilities necessitating the destruction of part of the golf course. 3. Effect of the use on li ht and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other publicfacilities and ublic facilities needs. Contrary to the Town's assertion that some of these considerations will experience improvement, the light and noise from the proposed facility will be a factor in making the neighborhood difficult to inhabit, and the golf recreation facility which has existed for more than forty years will be severely impacted. The congestion which will be associated with group events numbering 200 people on a regular basis and 500 people when the Town decides to permit that to happen, in addition to 90 vehicles from golf traffic (accordingto the Town's analysis) will render the Town unable to effectively provide for fire and other safety protection. 4. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to con estion, automotive andpedestrian safetv and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streetsand parking areas. It seems to be the Town's position that the change in use from occasional events for a maa imum of 120 people to 100 events per year (at least three to four a week during high seasons) for 200-500 people will create no issue regardingcongestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control. The Town's conclusion has not objective support and defies logic. The location is served by a narrow road which even during a neighborhood meeting conducted 5/7/2013 by the Town during a summer golf day resulted in the necessity of cars being parked along Sunburst Drive, effectively creating a one-lane street. Aga.in, the congestion which will be associated with group events. numbering 200 to 500 people in addition to golf traffic will endanger the community and the guests. The Townsimply will not be able to provide adequate fire and other safety protection services. Effect on the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, includin the scale and bulk of the pro osed use in relation to surrounding uses. The effect of the proposed use, with reference to both thesize and operation of the new structure and the conversion of the exterior space from a golf course fo an event venue, will be to destroy the ability of residentsand property owners to experience the normal enjoyment of an established neighborhood of more than 100 residences, including both the low density residences along Sunburst Drive and many of the townhouse residences withinVail GolfcourseTownhomes. The impacts discussedabove, and the fact that they can be easily identified butnot resolved, has been established through the unanimity of the communications to the Town of Vail from the Sunburst neighborhood andthe golf community. The Town's effort topush through its plan without recognizing that these critical flaws cannot be resolved, defies the Town of Vail electorate, the community and logical analysis. Management and Operations Plan The PEC is being told by the Town that problems which cannot otherwise be resolved will be resolved through the effect of the "management and operations plan" (the "Operations Plan") which has been submitted in connection with the application for the conditional use permit. For the PEC to acceptsuch logic would be an abdication of the PEC's responsibility to guarantee that applicantsresolve issues before a conditional use is authorized. The proposed Operations Plan, while presented as the idealmethod of addressing the issues identified by the neighborhood, is so vague and variable that its very natureestablishes that theseissues can be identified, but they cannot be resolved. The proposed Operations Plan cannot be relied upon by anyone other than the Town, and the Town's reliance is based uponits unenforceability and the ability of the Town togrant itself dispensations from the limitations contained in the plan, particularly the size of event, parking and outside functions, which may involve the unlimited use of tents. While the proposed Operations Plansupposedly can be changed only through the conditional use process, the reality is that the internalprovisions of the planpernut the Town to avoid its limitations and prohibitions at will. The proposedmanagement and operations plan has no significance whatsoever in connection with any limitations upon which the neighborhood can rely. 0 5/7/2013 Reauired Responses to Specific Impacts on the Communitv With reference to speciiic impacts on the neighborhood and the provisions required to mitigate, if not eliminate, those impacts, these impacts and measures were generally addressed in the letter from the Sunburst Drive Homeowners of the 17th of October referred to above and include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: l. The size of the project is grossly in excess of what has been the prior practice, dramatically increasing the effective capacity of the existing facility. If the project is to proceed, the capacity of the project should be limited to 120 persons total, as currently configured, and no eYterior activity should be permitted. 2. The parking issues cannot be resolved unless events occur only when golf and nardic activities and operations are not occurring. Consequently, any authorization must allow activities not related to golf or nordic uses only at times when golf and nordic activities are not occurring. As limited in the original conveyance of this property to the Town, the golf, park and open space function of this facility mustremain the reason for its existence. No activities can be permitted on the current location of the 18th fairway or 18th green, which must remain in their current configuration. , 4. Noise impacts must be eliminated, to the extent possible, by prohibiting exterior amplified sound, by the eliminating any possibility that windows can be opened in any location wherenoise can be produced, and by prohibiting all activities outside the remodeled structure after 10:00pm. 5. Lighting must be limited to that which is necessary for safe pedestrian traffic to and from the remodeled structure. 6. Provision must be made for effective monitoring of noise and activities, and for enforcement and sanctions in the case of violations. 7. Tents must be prohibited in a11 circumstances. Finally, any authorization must ensure that there is constructed a significant vegetative bufFer to protect theresidences, with no activities south or southeast of the current cart path lying on the northwest side of the west half of the18th hole. If there were an attempt toimplement a plan which incorporated theabove conditions, it would be necessary to memorialize that plan as an enforceabledocument which neither party could change other than by the consent of both the Town and the residents. 7 5/7/2013 Conclusion As has previously beenstated, the Town's proposal to reconstruct the Vail golf course clubhouse was approved by the electorate based upon the representation of the Council that the project would be limited to the footprint of the current clubhouse. The current proposal has taken on a life of its own, with no relationshipto the fundamental requirement that it bean accessory use" related to the golf course or to the justifiable expectations of those who relied on the Town Council's assurances associated with the 2011 convention center fund ballot question. The proposed conditional use permit should be denied. If granted, the conditions must include those noted above, as more specifically described in past communications to the Town of Vail.

Wi±h our legal documentstatingthe only use being a golfi course, open space, park and related facilities, why is this center even being considered? The Golf Course etc." clausewas worded to prevent thissort of thing from happening. Why not a hotel; condominiums or dissolving the golf courseentirely at the Town's will and selling the property off to private investors? Our conditions were agreed upon by the Town's officials with their initial signing of thedocument. I would expect thatcommitment to be morally honored by the present representatives. Warren Pulis 5/7/2013 ballot languageidentical to that which was tested in the poll. A draft resolution is presented for discussion so that any changes and/or additions requested byCouncil may be incorporatedprior to proposed adoption of the resolution on August 16. Cleveland read the following ballot language intothe record. "Ballot Question No. 1 Without increasingtaxes, shail the Town of Vail use theremainder of the one andone- half percentlodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenuescollected from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 20Q5, tofund thefailowing projects that will promoterecreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Renovation of the clubhouse at the Vail Goif Course and NordicCenter, including a new pavilion; Field expansion and restroomrenovation at the Ford Park Sports Compiex; and FordPark Amphitheater impravements, including outdoor seating and restroorn improvements?" Donovan stated this was the wording used in the poiling survey. Rogers said there are a number of people who are confused about the new pavilion. Daly suggested saying community space instead of a new pavilion. Camp suggested the wording be community pavilion and extended deck. Newbury said to use expanding and improving the clubhouse including a community space. Newbury said they should have more information to clarify that additional funding wouid be need to be provided toward these projects because thecurrent wording suggests the funds will completely provide for these projects and the town needs partners. Zemler suggested whoever is in charge should do the education of this. Zemler said they need to make sure there is an aspect of the language that states the new community space is to serve the community. Gretchen Busse, resident, stated she has livedon Sunburst Drive for many years. She said she was told the pavilionwould be6,000 square feet and didn't thinkthat was appropriate as this isin a residential area. She is concerned as there are a lot of bicyciists that ride on Sunburst Driveand she is concerned about adequate parking as are some of her neighbors. Cieveland said the information she aot was incorrect. The pavilion will be built in the footprintof the existing golf course club house. She wants more information on how big of a pavilion they are trying to build and where the parking will be. Daly said there will be more parkinq available and the pavilion would be in part of the club house building footprint. Daly suggested she contact Mike Ortiz and getthe neighbors together to discuss this project in further detail. Joe Hanlon, with the Vail Recreation District (VRD), said they will be reaching out to the neighbors of the areaand go throughthe plans and educatepeople on what this project looks like.

I arn working but will join the meeting when I can. RodneyJohnson I havebeen living in the valley for ZS years and havebeen a pass holder at the Vail Goif course for 18 years. I totally oppose making # 18 a parking lot and that the new T boxes are on the other side of the pond on 17 be the new T boxes for # 18. In vaii where everparking is needed, like at all the new buildings in vail, a parking structu e under the buiiding has worked greaC . Please do noh destroy one of the best flnishing hole in the vail valley ! t Paul Seidman We hate the idea of changing #18: IYs a wonderful hole and a beautiful way to flnish up a goif round.

I haven't met with the members of the PEC but I'm sure they wiil blame the Town Council for adding too much "multi use community space."

For reasons thatMatt Mire can explain to you, I must state that whatfoliows is an effort to resolve a matter which may (but which we hopewill not) evolve into litigation, and, for that reason, its contents areprotected by Rule 408 of the Colorado Rules of Evidence and may not beused in any proceeding without the express writtenpermission of the client of this office. This communication mayfallon deaf ears, but I hope thaYs notthe case. The Councitwill be engaging in a work session this afternoon; and I hope that the message I'm trying to pass on can come before therrr during those discussions. There seems to be little question that the golf course clubhouse should be dramatically remodeledif not reconstructed and that thiswas one of the three targeE areas for expenditure ofconvention center funds recentlyapproved by the electorate. Whether the elimination of the.18th green and a good part of the 18th fairway was clearly approved is less clear. In any event, the bestinformatlonwe have is that the golfing community objects to the latteF part of the current. program; the Vail Recreation District Boarddoesnot suppo t it; and the neighboringproperty owners are vehemently opposed to thatlatter part of the plan: . It seems certain tha! this p(a i; ifit proceeds, is bound for a longand arduous battle- Rather thanengaging in that battle; it seems appropriate to shiftdirectlon as early as possible, in order that as little time may be los.f aspossible: The Town apparentty is currentlybeing driveR toward the proposed change in zone district boundaries largely by the propertyboundaryestablished by the subdivisionplat which was approved by the PEC on the ` 14th of May. The flrst step in redirection is to modify that subdlvisionplat in such a way that the parcel includes no property relating to the 18th fairway and 18th green - perhaps creating theparcel line some distance north of the golf cart path on the north side of the 18th green. Upon approval of thaf modifiedplat and a continuance of the hearing of the zone district amendment until the newplat is in place, thezone dlstrict amendment couldthen proceed based upon that new plat, leaving the 18th faicway and the 18th green in the OR zonedistrict, satisfying the golfing community, permitting the VRD and the Townto proceed expeditiously with the work on the clubhouse; and providing the stability in zoning to which the neighboring property owners are entitled:. We hope that theCouncil willrecognize that we are attemptingto work toward a common goal here, and that the direction suggested above is in the bestinterests of all concemed.

Our f'Emily 7urchased this home ith the understanding and the a surance that our propert and the surroundin s would always remain zoned D.R. and a green area. This was entirely logical considering the Iong history of the Vail golf course and the importance af the golf course (particularly the 18`h hole in its current configuration) to the attraction of Vail as recreational destination during the surnmer months. The current zoning, `vhich was designed to assure the community of the perpetuity of that use and has been relied uponby the neighborhood as a whole, is essential for our neighborhood well being and our property values. We believe there is NO legitimate or justifiable reason tochange thiszoning. We highly value our ability to sit on our deck and enjoy mountainviewsin peace and quiet. Our use of this property would be severely hampered with a parking lot and a possible "events center" 50-70 feet from our deck. There will bean inerease in noise, changes made to the natural environment, and security issues that we would have to deal with- how would you like that? Any other uses permitted in a General Use zoning area are equally distressing. Again, we strongly protest a change from Outdoor Recreation Use to General Use zoning for the property adjacentto the 18th green! There is no justification for a change there-----we would approve of and enjoy the remodeling of the Clubhouse and change in zone district under the current footprint of that redevelopment project. For these reasons, we are convinced that the currentproposal for conversion of property from the Outdoor Recreation zone district to the GeneralUse zone district should be denied.

Such a change would be an abuse of the authority entrusced to the Councit by those of us who live in this neighborhood full-time as well as those who have invested in this area with the expectation of enjoyin; peace and beauty in their homeaway from home. We whoteheartedly support the expansion and improvement of the dubhouse. A facelift is tong overdue and will be a benefit to both the Recreation District and the Town of Vail. At the moment the structure is an eyesore when it should be a world-ctass resort amenity, Battot Question No. 1 which passed last fall makes reference tomul[i-use community space at the clubhouse. That proposal has meant different thin5s to different peopte, asis illustrated by the various alternatives for the clubhouse project. It makes na reference to moving the 18`h green, shortening the fairway, paving over the area ofthe present green for additionatparking or hotding outdoor events such as wedding receptions, concerts, etC.. The questfon on the ballot had basically one over-riding alternative - didthe voters wish to spend the lodging tax on improvements to Vail or did they prefer to return that money, in some uncertain fashion, to the visitors who paid it. The question wasn't what [he money shouldbe spent on, but rather whether it should be given back. No rational voterwould have voted against it, regardless of the uncertain purpose for which the money was to be used. The area under consideration for this proposed zone district amendment is bordered on two sides by residentiat areas. All of us who live in that area paid a premium for real estate that's dose to a golf course. In our case, and the case of [he ownersof the other first four lots along the north side of Sunburst Drive, wepaid an evenbigger premium to be contiguous with the fairway with a fineview of the green. That green being replaced with asphalt, no matter how well buffered with vegetation, will adversely affect our investment in our home. Since our house is currently on the market, the uncertainty about this project has already affectedour ability tosell and will have a direct bearing on the sales price should we receive an offer before this matter is settled once and forall. 5/7/2013 Cr10U i1 CUI" 7f1f1C1(J<li concern is :he `:?Ct Ch2t ihQ USES t^tI11C11 -o^'OU f I"eSU trorn te u an e in =oniiik vrould des ruyth? au lit; of lif Fiici we have rperienceC ard o n:iru=_ t.p e,: :°rien:° t C.:r resvrn;e. _r,.r C i Cern :vith th Y'.-1..7i? ?G 3'.f':I"d: E 7011`Ilf ly Ili1t 'Gll:.l(ji.Q "..Ie 1f'.C C: p' r C DfO JGS:'ij es or ::ur l:es , he ra: t that t.°'vatue of otir real rstaP.e vri'l d; op ir maticall; if a ark'n; lo is st.ibs:t.t«d fr- rl e c.uren 1' ?r2 n.

A ext amendment coutd also make additional uses possible if the Council were to add a proposed use to the conditional uses already permitted in theGeneral Use zone district. ifthe new zoning were to be passed and activities such as weddings and/or concerts were totakeptacein the outdoor space, it woutd be impossible to prevent impac.ts on the adjoining properties, even if there were strict regulations in place to control thenoise. The Town could not effectively con[rol noise and other impacts of an event in pro ress. Even now, we can already be in bed in theevening and feel the beat of music that's being played inside the golf clubhouse for wedding receptions. We can hardly imagine how much worse it would be with an outdoor event. This is a residential area, after alt. It reatty wouldn't be appropriate for residents to be drivenout of their own hornesby the noise at ten, eteven or midnight. Among the criteriato be considered in your deciding whether to approve a proposed zone district amendment is, "That the amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas". In this case, we are convinced that the uses allowed under the General Use category are not appropriate for a residential neighborhood, and no number of ronditions can correct the problems that would resultfrom those activities. We hope tha[ the TownCouncil witl give serious thought to our objections and we urge that the Council deny the proposed zone district amendment.

Fromour deck and main living areas we look straight at the 18`h hole and theclubhouse of the Vail Golf Club. Wehave ownedthis home since 1999 and prior to buying this home we owned a town home at Riverbend in East Vail. Our Sunburst Drive residence, like several other residences on our street, is adjacentto the parcel owned by the Town of Vail, which is the subject of the cunent proceeding to change thezone district designation of that Town parcel from the Outdoor Recreation (OR) zone district to the GeneralUse (GU) zone district. We have long relied on the prospective use of the Town's property for outdoor recreational uses, and maintenance of the current zoning is tied to that expectation. The uses permitted in the GU zone district are incompatible with the residential use of adjoining property and would destroyour family's ability to use our property and the value of that property, and we must protest the proposed change in zone district designation. We strongly oppose this change in zoning. There is no justification for changing the zone district designation for the property on which the 18`h hole is located, and those of us who adjoin the Town parcel are, to the best of our knowledge, unanimous in our opposition to this proposal. Forwork reasons we now reside in Atlanta, but Vail is really the place our entire family gathers and feels at horne. For 19 of the past 20 years we have all spent Christmas together in Vail as well as getting to Vail as often as possible the rest of the year. We love Vail and we love ourhome in Vail. 5/7/2013 We selected this home because it was close to the Town of Vail but also because it represents and is surrounded both front and backby open space and recreational areas, On the southside isthe Thite River National Forest and the bike path along Sunburst, and on the north we look directly at the 18`h green of the Vail Golf Course. V hil few af us are actually golfers, «e enjoy sitting inour living roam arta ur on our deckand atching the camaraderie and a rnpetiti n an tite 15`' ,;reen. This Y;Ireeri s ace and 7ol.f c«urs vista and tasac;e is very' itiiportant to hetp presen e the sanctuary ot otir homc, vlYich 4'ail, as a<<hc 3e, lsc s.ri Fers cj ar fazt7.ily :md those f us ho nust cieal oii a re zlar basis «ith busine.ss ives vl7ich requu-e us to li; tnuch of our time in other lo ations araund the vorld. Over theyears, we t ave i.nveste i hea ily in in:rc v,rnents to a ur E i7rne iE1 the. belief that the open space sanctuary and recreationalamenities surrounding us e-ould be rer>erved. While only a few of our family members are active golfers, we have hit balls on the driving range, eaten at the golf clubhouse many times over theyears, cross country skied in the winter and our middle daughter's wedding rehearsal party was held in the golf clubhouse in January of 2000. We also work to be good citizens and stewards of Vail. Over the years we have shown our commitment to the Vail community in many ways including significantcontributions to the Vail Valley Medical Center, the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation, the Vail Valley Foundation, the Vail Interfaith Chapel and the Eagle County Land Trust among others. We agree with council membersthat the clubhouseshould be dramatically improved and updated, and we also agree that the clubhouseabsolutely canand should stay in the area where it is eurrently located and that cunent parking on location and that which is easily accessible by public transportation is more than adequate for current and future use of the clubhouse and course. Where wemay differ is that we strongly believethat the currently proposed zoning change should be limited to the area required for updating the building. Changing only the building area zoningto GU and keeping the 18`t` green area zoned as OR will help provide long-term protection to the golf course and particularly to the 18`h hole and green. No change to the zoning south of the clubhouse is justified. Speaking as someone who has actually participated in a daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner at the clubhouse, we assure you that current parking is more than dequate for this type activity and for all other potential uses. For our wedding reception the guests stayed at the So enalp and used the very good Vail bus system tobe safely, warmly and soberly transported to and from therehearsal party. We supportthe change in the zoning from OR to GU for only that portion of the property which is required for the clubhouserenovations, and to accomplish this will require a change in the plat previously approved by the Town. We also believethat the change in the plat canbe accomplished and still allow zoning and construction on the clubhouse to be kept on your schedule. We further verystrongly believe that it is irnportant to complete this project in a way which is environmentally and recreationally friendly. To accomplish these goals in an environmentally and recreationally friendly manner will require a subdivision plat which isdifferentfrom the one which was approved by the Town in May. The subdivisionplat should be modified so that the "new lot" is only that property north of the current golf cart path (perhaps the north half of the newly created lot), leaving the 18' fairway and the 1 S` green (roughly the south half of the lot) in the OR zone district. The Town needs only the northern part of the newly configured lot for the clubhouse project, but gettingthat conect description does require that the subdivision plat be redrawn and approved in new form by the Platuiing Commission in advance of the adoption of the ordinance amendingthe zone district, which apparently must be based upon the lot upon which construction is to occur. Most of you seem to be clearly supportive of keeping the 18`h hole and green as currently designed, and that can beaccomplished while appropriately remodeling the clubhouse within a more tightly defined and appropriate GU zone district. We emphasize the danger to the adjoining property owners, thegolfers and the users of the area around the 18` h green. That threat isthe fact thatchanging the underlying zoning of the 18`h green area from OR to GU as it is currently planned and platted will allow any future council to eliminate or 5/7/2013 changethe use of the 18th hole with little or no inputor protection for the neighborhood, the home owners, the golfers or our beloved Vail community. Once again, based upon our personal esperience, no additional parking is required at this site and public transportation is a sate, econ.omical and en iron nentally friendly way to aeeommadate all our utpc ses.

Although we understand that the public hearing originally scheduled for the 3rd of July will be continued, we also understand that the Council will be taking public comment on thequestion of whether the zone district should be approvedor, if reconsidered, the direction to be taken.

Mr. Hilliard's property and residence adjoin the property which is proposed for ihe zone district amendment. I also am authorized to state that other residents of Sunburst Drive who are owners and/or residents of properties adjacent to thethreatened area join in Mr. Hilliard's positions and in the positions taken in this letter, and I will provide the names of those other owners and residents at the time of the hearing on this proposal. It should be noted that thiscommunication is somewhat abbreviated with referenceto the rcasons the proposed zone district amendment should be disapproved by the Council because of two considerations: (a) it is our understanding that, while the Council will take comments from the public on the proposal during its meetings onthe 3rd of July, the actual public hearing and second reading of theordinance which deals with the proposal will be continued until a later date; and (b) the Council has enough before it to confirm the need to delay action and modify this proposal (at the very least) without beingrequired to deal with the wide gamut of probtems with this proposal when a resolution of those problems may be identified. Against this background, please be advised that Mr. Hilliard, as well as many other residents and property owners in the neighborhood, object tothe proposed zone district amendment and any significant change in the 18thgreen and fairway of the Vail Golf Course. 5/7/2013 ome of th more specific reasons for our clietits' objec.tions are as follows: Subs:antive Objections: 1 he proposed zonechange is unjustified by any legitimate measure under which a zone change is to be considered. More specifically: a. The proposed zoning amendment is inconsistent with the desires of the residents and adjacent property owners in the neighborhood, who are, to the extent we can determine, unanimous in their opposition tothe proposal; b. The proposed zoningamendment is not necessitated or prompted by any standazd which would warrant a change in the current zone district, or the redevelopment of the clubhouse associated with the Vail golf course, but rather by a perceived need on the part of the Town for a revenue-generating event azea and a perceived need for additional parkinglargely if not exclusively related to that event area; The golfing community, the actual users of the subjectproperty, has expressed its objection to the change in the configuration of the 18th fairway and green both to the Vail Recreation District and to this Council in no uncertain terms; d. The proposed zone district amendment would destroy what many in the golfing community considerto be one of the signature holes, if not the signature hole, of the Vail golf course; e. "I'he proposedzoning amendment would permit uses which conflict with and disturb existing uses on and destroy the value of adjacent properties. 2. According to the Vail Municipal Code - The general use district is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their specialcharaeteristies, eannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which development standazds prescribed for each particulaz developrnent proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in section i2-1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfaze. The general use district is intended to insure that public buildings and grounds and certaintvves of quasi-public uses permitted in the district are pro riatelv located and designedto meet the needs of the residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding,uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenitiesappropriate to the permitted types of uses." Emphasis added.) Vail Municipal Code, Section 12-9C-1 5/7/2013 As has heen a.nii `ill be demonstrated by ihe letters and voices of ;dj+ining rape.rty owners nd the olfing conununity, the proposed change in zc nedistricT :inJ ttiepruposed changes to the use of the subject property which wrould be permitte.d uponthat change in zone district designation neither meet the needs of property owners, residents, or those who use the subject property, nor would the proposed change and related uses harmonize with surrounding uses. Most of the uses permitted in the General Use zone district are far more aggressive than should be allowed in or adjacent to either a residential zone district (as is the case with the propertyto the south) or an outdoor recreation zone district (as is the property on the north and east). ThecurrentOutdoor Recreation zone district is the only effective protection available to the adjacent property owners and residents against the following uses which aze permitied, under the conditional use permit process, in the General Use zone district, but which are prohibited inthe Outdoor Recreation zone district: Churches Helipad Hospitals, medical and dental facilities, clinics, rehabilitation centers, clinical pharmacies, and ambulance facilities. Major azcade Plant and tree nurseries, and associated struetures Public and private schools and educational institutions Publicbuild.ings Public parking structures Public theaters, meeting rooms and convention facilities Public transportation temainals Public utilities installations Type I1I employeehousing units Water and sewage tzeatment plants. 5/7/2013 I he follatiti ing usesaccessc!ry o a p irking ;.tru.ture: offices, restaurants, sundries sho s, tr.ansiti'shuttle services. Vail Municipal Code, 12-9C-3. Under the conditional use permit process, these uses "shall be permitted in the GU district, subject [only] to issuance of a conditional use permit ...." (emphasis added) Vail Municipal Code, Section 12-9C-3. If the Town now or at some later time proposes suchuses as the owner of the property, as here, it is apparent that adjacent property owners and residents, as well as the golfing community, are unlikely to succeed in opposition before the Town based upon regulations over which the Town has control. No such debate will occur if the property remains in the Outdoor Recreation zone district. 4. Although the property owners and residents of the Sunburst Drive neighborhood recognize that the Vail golf course is owned by the Town, and that the Town should have significant flexibility in its use of that property, the Town also has a responsibility to those who are adjacent to it, particularly those who rely upon the Town to exercise appropriate judgment to protect the legitimate expectations of occupants of residences whohave long occupied thoseresidences with a justifiable expectation of a tranquil environment and neighborhood. Although the Town wears atleast two "hats" inthis proceeding, as property owner/applicant and a quasi-judicial decision maker, the latter responsibility requires the Council to evaluate the merits and faults of both the application and the objections. Practical Objections and Suggested Solution: Che fundamental challenge with which thisCouncil is confronted at this point in time is the fact that the current application is driven by a legal description of a parcel whieh could have been intercepted and corrected prior to its consideration and approvalby the Planning and Environrnental Commission, had its implications been identified and broad publicinput occurred during the PEC process. 'The Municipal Code did not require that action and such inputdidnot occur, and the Town is notto be faulted for that early lapse in attention. The subdivision of part of the Vail golf course which was approved by the PEC on the14th of May does, however, include approximately twice the area required by the renovation/reconstruction of the clubhouse, being roughly the north half of that new parcel. It is the inclusion of the area of the new pazcel which includes and lies south of the golf cartpath along the north side of the 18th fairway and green (approximately the south half of the new parcel) which makes thepackage objeetionable to the neighborhood and the golfing community. In order to respond appropriately to what seems to be a 5/7/2013 uni<<ersalopp sition ka this current prop 7:a1, tEie Tc wn shc i.id +ack u.p, vacate thu subdivision map a hich tiva ::pproved by t eP C c, the 1<th of -1a;r (assuming tliat map has een recoraed), and resubmit far FEC considerati na different subdivision map creating a new lot which includes only the ground required for the elubhouse renovation/reconstruction, i.e., the azea northwest of the golf cart pathreferred to above. 2. Hecause the boundary of theproposed zone district amendment is dictated by the legal description of the pazcel which recently was approved by the PEC and it is that boundary which is principally objectionable to the adjoining property owners and, it seems, the golfing community, a solution should be within reach. If the Town redefines the new golf course parcel (and therefore the property to be subject to the zone district amendment) in the manner suggested above, the current proceeding for a zone district amendment, with the legal description of the new General Use zone districtmodified in a manner identifying the property under the clubhouse as renovated/reconstructed, thereby preserving the18th fairway and green, could be less objectionableto the golfing community andthe adjoining property owners. Thisdirection would best minimize the delay (avoiding the necessity of initiating thezone district amendment from its inception) and could permit the "I'own to proceed with its activity at the close of the golfing season. Summarv: While there aze other legal objections to the proposal currently before the Council, the fact that the public hearing onsecond reading of the proposedordinance is to be eontinued makes it appropriate to spaze the Council the necessity of dealing with those issues at thistime. Mr. Hilliard is optimistic, based upon recent communications with the Town staff, that a resolution of this chaltenge may be identified and implemented, and we hope that there is a basis for that optimism. Based upon the current proposal, the application before the Town of Vail must be denied for both substantive and legal reasons, but there can be little question that it must be denied. Mr. Hilliard, and those who shaze his concems, submit that it is the Town's duty to be certain that activities motivated by its own perceived needsand agenda aze undertaken only with appropriate recognition andrespect for the legitimate rights and expectations of its residents and property owners. The residents and property owners of the golf course neighborhood expect and deserve the Town's recognition and protection of those rights. 5/7/2013 h-1c.

As our children grew, so did our need for space. We hadalways admired Sunburst Drive during our valks to and from the Vail Village, the beautiful homes, the quiet street and ali adjacent to thegolf course were an ideal combinationfor us. In 1992 we purchased ourstunninggolf course property at 1835 SunburstDrive. We paid a premium, because of where the home is located, our back decks overlooking the 18`h green, which is adjacent to the area p stposed for the zone district amendment. We are avid golfers, snowshoers and cross country skiers; immensely enjoying everything this property and what the current outdoor recreation zoning ourproperty has had to offer. it has long been a place where we have cherished spending time with our children and now grandchildren. As our family has grown, so have our interests and ourtime has become more limited. We are not able to spend as rnuch tirne in Vail as we would like. We have seen the reaf estate market recover to a degree and soin January 2012 wedecided to try to seil this home arrd potentially downsize sornewhere else in the vailey. The lack ofsnow fall during the 2011/2012 ski season did not give us theamount of traffic as we obviously had hoped for. The proposed zone district amendment would now be catastrophic to our effort. !t great y diminishesourabilityto seli this home. I would compare thisproposed plan to taking an ocean front hotel room and turning it into a room with a parking lot view, or into a room which overlooked, and therefore was to overhear, the noiseand disturbance of an event venue. We have not had a valuation done on what this would do to our property value, but will do so, if needed. It is incomprehensible thatthe individuals who planned this proposal could have the audacity to think that this was a good idea and would an acceptableequitable solution for the surrounding property owners. The potential loss in home value, destruction of our views, loss in quality ofgolf, snowactivities, event traffic and noise are simply unacceptable to us if you were to change to a Generat Use Zone District. Although this Council may have no intention of changing the use to anything more aggressive than parking (which is pretty aggressive in and ofitself), any future Council could convert the propertyto any number of uses which would effectivelydestroy the use of our property for residentialpurposes. We are in full agreement that clubhouse needs to be renovated, but slapping a parking lot down in the middle of the 18`" green, andchanging the zoning designationof theproperty to permit a wide range of otherdestructive uses, is pointless, absurd and offensive. We are fully prepared to take anyactions necessary to insure that the currently proposed plan does not happen. It is our sincerehope that the amendment is reconsidered and revised to an agreeable solution for all parties involved.

Their comment, "if you don't like it youneed toattend the Town Counal meeting on July 3rd." Comments from the REC Board included, "you don't seem to have much support to save #18," even though 25-30 people attended their meeting two weeksago and40-50 letters to the editor all denounced their poorly conceived idea of changing # 18 to a grassy special events tent venue and a parking lot. The fact that the Townowns the land and the REC District runs the facility doesn't get the REC Board members off thehook. The REC District met (n a closed door meeting on June 21 to, "meet with their attorney to discuss their lease with the Town." Out of that meetingthey drafted a position letter to Town Council supporting their clubhouse design and the destruction of #18. The REC 8oard voted to maiV that letter last night even though it wasn't even on the agenda to be discussed. The bottom line is mark your calendar for July 3rdon Tuesday at 6PM to attend the Town Council meeting. MAYBE the Town Council willunderstand the primary objective of a golf course is the quality of golf, not special events. The golf course is a major tourist attractlon and a hugerevenue source during the summermonthsand compromising it 5/7/2013 for weddings and meetings only takes away business from the locai hotels and restaurants that alreadyownmeeting space. alz Buc bY 4ai11Ye5c?rt c ntal, Irrc. l%V _.:T !!f.1'.lJ ?ifV i__No-xf. 4;:ailfZt1s rtRer C?!s. com S`c3r /it?i3! r'ts3tt', 1!Y 7U-if'6-6?. r wlv, i;tar,'ealEst te.cc rn 5/7/2013 Tammy Nagel Frort: Pam Brandmeyer Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 4:32 Ph1 T,: Grg Hail; Matt Miie; Ge rga Ruther; Eil!

Years ago, 1 recallbeing encouraged to entertain if not support and certainly we should not oppose the redevelopmentof the Golden Peak area to allow for better facilities for the ski schooland access to the mountain. We were toldthatthe only way this could happen was if residential development was also allowed to payfor the improvements. Why didn't the share holder ofVailResorts pay fortheirimprovementsfor theircommercialenterprise? We stupidly acquiesced feeling that we didn't want to stand in the wayof progress. No sooner was the construction finished than unforeseen issues arose and eversince the Vail Resorts and the TOV has rudely ignored the neighborhoods legitimate concerns. Traffic is horrendous at prime times making it dangerous to cross the street. When I was pres+dent of the All SeasonsCondominiumAssociation for a decade I wouldwrite annually to the TOV requesting a pedestrian cross walk be put in so that the Association Members, our children and the public did not have to run a gauntlet ofspeeding cars to get to themountain. Wewere ignorednot only by the TownCouncil, Vail Resorts, but every other municipal planning department in the Town. Now the issueof tra c congestion is before you again and rather than address a community wide traffic issue you fast track a new Ski Club Vail facility for the benefit of whom? The business interests in the Vail Valley. Certainly not to benefit of the neighborhood which is already suffering from your poor planning. TheTown's valetparking whichsomehow morphedinto existence, which was never considered at the time a d in retrospect wasreally disallowed because there was never supposed to be transient parking located at Golden Peak Is now being touted a revenue producingfor the Town. Further, it was noted that the new Golden Peak facility polluted thenight time with thelightthat emanated fromthe garage. It took 5 yearsbefore we were able to persuade Vail Resorts to replace the substandardtrees thatwere used as screening and accepted by the Town. Not surprisingly the Town Council atthe timewas totallyindifferent to our issue as they havebeen with just about any neighborhoodconcerns in any part of Town. Now some enlightenedindividuals are proposing black topping the golf course, destroying private property valuesof adjacent homes, the area aesthetics so thatthe Town orfriends of the Town can in someway profitfrom a business enterprise in a strictly residential and recreational area andadd more traffic to the area. Unfortunately, I will not be in Vai) on July 3 to share with you how I really feel about another of your ill advisedschemes to destroy Vail. 5/7/2013 Hopefully the public backlash of thetax a erswill be such that o will abandon this folly. Rest assured that I wiil make o a end a Town ouncil meeting the n x ime 'm in Vail to share my thoughts a out this as weli as on many other planning matters induding the hospital debacle hat is being ente tained to the detriment of another established residential neighborhood.

I am making every attempt to beat every meeting, but notbeing a full-time resident cunently it is difficult to do so. This project directly hurts myquality of life as well as significantly impacting my property value. I truly hope you will do the right thing in preservingwhat is left of our valley. There are other options t retain the 18th greenand the magniticence of the golf course. Curtis and Kris Olson Our names are Curtis and Kris Olson. We own the home at1785 Sunburst Drive. The home is located directly behind the 18th green, first homenext to the Vail Golf course parking lot. We and our neighbors are very concemed about the proposed plan for the golf course parking. I attended the planning meeting to express my concerns during the rezoning votewhere NO planswere presented. I will not be ableto attend the townmeeting this coming week for I'll be out of town. The proposal to remove the 18th green and replace it with a pazking lot will: 1. Significantly impact my property value. And Imean significantly. 2. Significantly impact my quality of life. Concerns:: l. The parkingplan is to add a 35 space lot on the 18th green which is an inerementaladdition of only 19 parking spaces a. f-Iave all options been explored b. Why not allow for street parking to accommodatelarge events c. Valet cars on the driving range where there isno impact to homes and more space available. This could be 100 parking spaces d. Expandthe parking lot between the12th reen and 13th tee box and shuttle patrons. This could be used in the winter by snowshoers, ice climbers, nordic skiers e. Expandthe lot at thesoccer field. You could shorten hole 6 to accommodatemore spots. Spots could be used in the winter for skiers and Vail Resort employees f. Utilize Ford park parking and the city bus system which is one of the best in the country g. Utilize Public Works parking lot on the other side of the frontage road on weekends h. Haveout of town patrons utilize hotel shuttles which all the higher end hotels have. Removing precious green space to replace with asphalt in a town that is so lacking in green space would be a tragedy. A net add of 19 spots will not allow for a golf tournament and event at the same time. So why do it? 5/7/2013 2. There is a landscape proposal to block our view of the ne v parkinb lot, which based on how our home is situated will not completely block the vie,v.

On behai` of Sta rfireCampany Limited, ? am authorized to state that Starfire and its owners strongly onject to the proposed action. The Vail Municipal Code establishes the criter}a for denying or approving a zone district amendment. The proposal violates each and every one of thosecriteria, as follows; 1} The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all theapplicabieelements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive planand is compatible with the development objectives of the town - Response - It fs irnpossible for us to believe that there is anything in any comprehensive plan which suggests that any part of the Vail golf course is to be converted to a parking area, events center, or put toany other active use permitted (with or without conditions) in theGenerai Use zone district. 2) The extent to which the zone district arnendment is suitable withthe existing and potential land uses on the siteand existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted plann(ng documents- Response - The conversfon ofthe parcel to General Use zone districtwould confilct with the residential uses of the adjoining property in manyways - noise, vehicular air pollution, destruction of quality of life and the abilityof residents to enjoy their property being examples. 3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workabie relationship amongland uses consistent with municipal developmentobjectives - Response - The proposal is totally in conflict with the residential nature of the adjoining property and municipal development objectives of the Town of Vail do not (or at least should not) inciude the destruction of the environment orlife experience of adjoining residents - full-time and part-time - which would be the effect of thisproposal. 4) The extent to which the zone district amendrnent provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves thebestinterests of the community as a whole - Response - The proposal does not provide for growth of an orderly viable community but would effectively destroypart of a long-established viable neighborhood. 5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the naturalenvironment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features - Response -The proposal would destroy the naturalenvironment with specific reference to air quality, noise, vegetation and other desirable natural features. 6} The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent wlth the purpose statement of the proposed zone district - Response - the statement of the proposed General Use zone district indicates 5/7/2013 that the purpose ofthatdistrict is te provide "sites for pu lic and quasi-puh(ic ses vhich ... cannot be zp ropriately re ulated by thedeveiopment standarr s prescribed far atner zc nin istricts" and "is in`ended to ensure that public buildings ard brounds ... are ap ropriately locat ci ndrlesi,5ried to m et he needs o"r rpsidents and visitors to Vail; to harmanize vith su roundii7g i.ses.' Each of ihes star dards is violated in the case of tl is propa al. 7j The extent to vhich the zone district amendmentdemonstrates how conditions have changed since thezoningdesignation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate - Response - No changes have occurred since thecurrent zoning designation was assigned to the subject parcel which would justify theproposed change'in zone district designation, permitting a wide range of uses incompatiblewith the adjoining properties and neighborhood. 8) Such otherfactors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicabie to the proposed rezoning - Response - There are no other factorsor criteria which are applicable to the subject parcel or to this proceeding and whfch justify the proPosed action. Based upon this analysis, the principals of Starfire CompanyLimited, as an adjoining property owner, request that the Council deny the proposed changein zone districtdesignation.

We own thehome at 1785 Sunburst Drive. Thehome is located directly behind the18thgi'een; first home next to the Vail Golf course. We our neighbors are very concemed aboutthe proposed plan for the golf course parking. I attended the planningmeeting to express my concerns during the rezoning vote where NO plans were presented. I will not be able to attendthe town meeting this coming week for I'll be out of town. The proposal to remove the 18th green and replace it with a parking lot will: l. Significantly impact myproperty value. And I mean siguficandy. 2. Significandy impact my quality of life. Concems:: 1. The parking plan is to add a 35 space lot onthe18th green which is an incremental addition of only 19 parking spaces a. Have all options been explored. b. Why not allow for street parkingto accommodatelarge events c. Valet cars on the driving range where thereis no impact to homes and more space available. This could be 100 parking spaces d. Expundthe parking lot between the12thgreen and 13th tee box and shuttle patrons. This could beused in the winter by snowshoers, ice climbers, nordic skiers e. Expand the lot at the soccer field. You wuld shorten hole 6 to accommodate more spots. Spots could be used in the winter for skiers and Vail Resort employees f. Utilize Ford park parking andthe city bus systecn which is one of the best in the country g. Utilize Public Works parking lot on the other side of the frontage road on weekends h. Have out of town patrons utilize hotel shuttles whichall the higher end hotels have. Removing preciousgreen space toreplace with asphalt in a town that is so lacking in green space would be a tragedy. A netadd of 19 spots will not allowfor a golf toumament and event at the same time. So why do it? 2. There is a landscape proposal to block our view of the new parking lot, which based on how our home is situated will not completely block the view, If it does, it will block my entire view from our basement den, living areas, deck and master bedroom. No landseape plan will comecloseto replacing our current situation. 3. There does not seem to be a management plan for the new property. In summary, I lovethis town and the commitment the city has had to improve and preserve its great culture. I'm a big fan of improving the golf club house but the parking plan has not been thoughtthrough. There are many better options for the city and the facility tomeet their needs. Removing a beautifut green space that is currently a signature piece of property for a NET GAINof 19 pazldng spots is not in thebestinterest of anybody. Our family and property is obviously directly impacted and hurtby this proposal. i ii izoiz 4-7-1 5/7/2013 Thank you for your time and your service to our community big and small. I ask thatyouconsider more cost effective, creative alternatives before proceeding with your current plan.

We understandthat it is the subject of the current proceeding to change the zone district ofthat Town pazcel from the Outdoor Recreation zone district to the General Use zone district. We oppose this change. Our family purchased this home with the understanding and the assurance that ourproperty and the surroundings would always remain zoned O.R. and a geen area. This was entirely logical considering the long history of the Vail golf course and the importance of the golf course (particularly the 18`h hole in its current configuration) to the attraction of Vail as recreational destination during the summermonths. The cunent zoning, which was designedto assure the community of the perpetuity of that use and has been relied upon by the neighborhood as a whole, is essential for ourneighborhood well being and our property values. We believe there is NO legitimate or justifiable reason to change this zoning. We highly value our ability to sit on our deck and enjoy mountain views in peace and quiet. Our use of this property would be severelyhampered with a pazking lot and a possible "events cente' S0-70feet frorn oux deck. There will be an increase in noise, changes made to the natural environment, and security issues that we would have to deal with- how would you like that? Any other uses perrnitted in a General Use zoning azea are equally distressing. Again, we strongly protest a change from OutdoorRecreation Useto General Use zoning for the property adjacent to the 18` green! There is no justification for a change there-----we would approve of and enjoy the remodeling of the Clubhouse and change in zone district under the current footprint of that redevetopment project. For these reasons, we are convinced that the currentproposal for conversion of property from the Outdoor Recreation zone district tothe General Use zone district should be denied.

After listening to the various presentations, here's what you are not being told by the studies. First of all golf like any other athletic activity has inherent risks. Take skiingfor example, you will never safety proof the mountain just as you will never safety proof the golf course. Being both a skier and a golferin Vail sincethe fall of 89 when I moved herehas given me insights that don'tappear in the "professional studies." Anyone vhoplays golf knows that you can be hit by an errant golf ball anywhere on the course or nearby for that matter at any time. The so called danger zone on the 18th fairway is just one of many. "I'he club that you use determines how far the ball goes. The study only considers the driver. We have all hit a 9 iron or 8 iron over the net fiom the driving range and the balls land either onthe club house or in the parking area. You could string steel cable from the top of every post across the driving area and cover the range with netting to contain the balls, but that is only one area of the course. Hole nurnber one tee shots can go left across thestreet and hit cars, people on bikes and the townhouses or they can go right and land on golferscomming up the9th fairway. Hole number 4 tee shots can hit homes, people and cars left and right there. Hole number 5 you can hit people comming up the 6th fairway with a slice. Hole number 7 you can hit peopieteeing off on the 8th tee box. You can slice your tee shot from the8th tee box and the balls can land on people on the 2nd green. On the 9th tee you can slice your shot back to the first green and fairway. This happens every day that the course is open.l-iole number 12 you can hit people on the16th fairway. Hole number I 3 you can hit someoneon the14th fairway and from the 14th tee you can slice the ball back to the 13th fairway. Eiole number 16, you can hit people on the 12th fairway. On the 18th tee you can hit someone on the 11 th tee box. It's the nature of the game. Thesaf sssue on the 18th fairway is just a crutch to push an a enda to relocate the 18t] you sh>>1 1 rnncj] r,s t er g_ space or t e eventcenter on a lazge scale ocation. Vh don'tou use waste land area on the south ' irwa or nter? It a so has a nice view of the Gore Range. Thanks for listening.

Because it is unrealistic to expect anyone to be ableto deal with each of those reasons within a two- or three-minuteopportunity at a Council (or Board) meeting, it seems necessary to provide you with a written analysis of the various problems with the aetion which is under consideration. That analysis is attaehed, We hope that you will have an opportunity to review these thoughts and concerns before the Council meeting onthe 17th of July (and, with referenceto the VRD Board, before its meeting tomorrow, the 12th of July), and that the concerns and issues raised will cause both the Council and the $oard to reverse the course of action which will be under discussion. If either any members of the Council or the Board, or any members of the Town staff, has any c uestions, you may contact me. Thank you foryour attention.to these concerns.

Mr. Hilliard's property and residence adjoin the propertywhere that action is proposed. Mr. Hilliazd has been joined byother residents of Sunburst Drive who aze owners and/or residents of properties adjacent to thethreatened area, and as a group they have attempted to identify for the benefit of the Council and the Vail Recreation District the many reasons which warrant abandonment of the current plan. The points and concerns expressed by :tr. Hilliard and other owners directly to Council are generally shared by all and should be considered by Council to be a united opposition to the current plan. It is the position of Mr. Hilliard and his neighborsthatno condition exists which warrants the relocation of the 18thgreen and fairway from their current location. Toconvert this area to an azea devotedto event gatherings, or gatherings of virtually any other public nature, would constitute a nuisanceto the adjoining residences and a violation of the covenant which affects this property. For thesereasons, among others, Mr. Hilliard and his neighbors respectfully request that the 18th green and fairway be left in their current configuration. It was originally our understanding that the action proposed for the 18th green and fairway was based upon the perceived need for construction of additional parking and an outdoor events venue in connection with an expansion of the Vail golf course clubhouse. At the Council meeting onthe 3rd of July, the focus with referenceto the need to take the proposed action seemed to shift tosafety and a perceived mandate related to the vote approving the expenditure 5/7/2013 t x,;sc 1lec ed tor a conference ccnte r. For that reasan, lhis 3ett r deals grimarily th thase t o subjects ti5 ith which the Co u cil e.ems to be concerned. Safety: The Council has identified three areas of concem with reference to safety, none of which constitute existing problems warranting the destruction and relocation of the18th green and thewestemthirdofthe1Sthfairway. These areas of concern are (1) gotf balls from the driving range landing on the 18th fairway, (2) the proximity of residences adjacent to 18th green andthe western part of the 18th fairway, and (3) thedanger posed to a proposed commercial events venue east and/orsouth of theclubhouse. For the reasons noted below, none of these reasons warrantthe action under consideration. 1. - golf balls from the driving range landingon the 18th fairway - T'he Town's expert in golf course design has indicatedthat golf balls hit from the driving range sometimes land on the18thfairway, and that, for this reason, the portion of the18th fairway affected should be deactivated as a fairway. There are at least ihree problems with this logic. a. Although the expert did not display the results of anystudy on the north side of the driving range, the effect of the existence of the driving range on the lOth fairway to the north of the range is iikely identical to the effect on the 18th fairway. If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then the same logic dictatesthat the impact azea on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and thehole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b, The approachunder consideration would effect'tvely "sterilize" the impact areas onthe 18th fairway against any use whatsoever. The impact azea would become a vacuumwhere no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate ovmed by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacuum, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will notlong remain unused, it must be observed that virlually any use of that ground will create greater riskfor the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such existing hazard would beincreased by a factor of ten times (20 vs. 200) if the Town were to take the direction currently proposed. This impact would be aggravated by the fact that, while golfers almost certainly would have assumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in the sport, persons attending an event would not be subject to such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 In r;alit r, Che minirnal anc tieetin tlreatposed t gal:S.'e,rs onthe lOtli :nd 1 Bth tainvay suf;te ts tl:at nu chanoe w hats ever is reyuired tothe cnrrent cc;n#iguration f the g If caurs or h usc «f conventional ;olf batls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, at some point in the future the Town will certainlyidentify a need for this area and will concludethat there is only one answer to the broader problecn. A change in the ] 8th fairway andgreendeal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the I Oth fairway or the virtual certainty of alternative uses for the part of the l 8th fairway proposed for abandonment. The "Town controls the balls used on the driving range, and it is the height and distance traveled by those balls which creates the threat, to theextent any threat exists. The only universalsolution to the perceivedthreat isthe conversion of the driving rangeto theuse of golf balls which travel a shorter distanceand, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to cleaz the fenee surrounding the ciriving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whether this action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then this action is inevitable, and because the 18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point intime to change the range ball supplyto shorterdistance balls is now. 2, - the proximity of residences adjacent to 18thgreenand the westem part of the18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believesthat golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can stray onto the residential properties adjacent to the westem part of that fairway. The residents indicate that this rarely occurs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these owners who aze objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact that they may be affected by the activity on the golf course. "I hese people live next to the golf course so that they canhave theexperience of being nextto the golf course, andthey recognize that there is a riskinvolved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of trus concem is the fact that relocation of the 18th greenand elimination of the western part of the 18th fairway will not eliminate the risk with which the Town is concerned. Rather the proposed action will shif that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These aze properties whose owners have had no notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regardingwhether they do or do not wish to assume the risk which the owners and residentsaround the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortabte. Becausethe risk with which the Town is concemed is not eliminated butis shiRed to those who are not now under that risk, without their knowledge, this safety argument is without any logic. 5/7/2013 3, -,he daciber pused to an events enue east an'or satxtiz cif the clubllause - F:rceivr;d r:sk to an ever cs enue east and or south of the clubh use has a.t least three ccntral prc blerns. a. First, this perceived risk is not aow in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council and the Vail Recreation District create an outdoor eventsvenue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any eventsvenue, or by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop but protected or (iii} exterior butprotected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, becausethe currently proposedeventsvenue does notnow exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact fTOm some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to the proposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an events venue onthe part of the 18th fairway will actually. increase any exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating onthe driving range, ratherthan eliminate that risk. For the reasons noted above, none of rationales relied upon by the Town warrant or necessitatethe destruction or relocation of the l8th green and fairway. Voter mandate: The 'Town has on several occasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conference center funds has given it a cleaz direction to create an exterior events center in the area of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involved in the development of the ballot questionor the related planning may have been awaze that an cxtemal event center was part of someone's plan, the ballot question did not reflect any such proposed direction or plan. The best information available indicates that the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remaining convention center funds for the Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the bailot question in no way indicatedthat the program would involve or require the destruction and/or appropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use o£the word "including" clearly indicatesthat the expansion and improvement ofthe clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the eommunity space would be interior to and/or a part of the clubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmedthis populazreading and understanding of the proposal. 4 5/7/2013 I'E,e T'o 1 hasreeei ed no oternlandate for the cle;tr.ictic n or elocatierel 7f anJ part of the lSth faiR*ay or the 18thgteen. Qther Considerations: ppart from the lack of justifiiaiia least four other ons de ations wh'tchP quire e gth hole of the Vail golf course, there ex s withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenants associated with the 1984 d,ehicl incu deshhe 8th hole fo rany p pose subject property prohibit the use of the property a other than a"public golf courseor ope for tho e urposes'eThe colnversion oflpart of thls stl h other related support facilities required se of puttin "heads in beds" is a commercial use property into an events center for the purpo P g whichviolates that covenant. That covenant wasand is enforceableby the successorsandcssignsofthePulisRanchCompany. Availableinforrnation indicates that theowners of thepropertiesonSunburstDriveazesuccessorsandassignsofthePulisRanchCompanyentitled to enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does not ' of the olther rotee Poolvmers tbbe determ n d to enforce that covenant, nor do I understand any PP' takesuch a direction. If, however, the formerPulis Ranch property is converted to a use whichviolatesthatcovenant, he, or any of his neighbors, may be compeltedtoconsiderthat course of action as the only available remedy. A second concern is the fact that virtually any use of the part of the18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be converted to a use incOof Si st e`cu az oncem ability of the neighboring property owners to yuietly enjoy their property. P is the virtualcertainty that noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute anuisancetotheneighboringpropertiesundthattheproximityoflazgenumbersofpeoplein thisareawillresultinaninvasionofprivacy. The golf coursewas conveyed to the Town of Vail andestablishedaspartofanoverallplanforihatgolfcourse, open space or park for the benefit of ihe neighboring properties. T res ect of th orig nalc ovenant ornotherwise ntinuing recognition of this plan, whether through p Anotherconsideration isthe reality that, if the Town closes part of the 18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate othersimilaz sinunderthe t e of the 16th hole, then the Town fairway orto pedestrian and bicycle traffic pas g will have ef ectively acknowledged theexistence of a threat at one location without havinn u edt appropnately with the threats at otherlocations wherethe same threats exist. tlny partY l in one of those virtually identical situations would have an easier case demonstrating that theTownhasonlyselectivelycorrectedanidentifiedproblem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Towndid not take identical action wherever the perceived threat e cists. 5/7/2013 Finally, it must be recognized lhat () the conv:rsion of pr+lFerties from oif course propertics into properties «hic.h front on acant land ti-nose futur is t irge y un predictabie, ii, b} the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a cc mmercial e ent renue, cunstituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, tivill have a catastrophic effect vn the values of thc properties currently adjacent to the western third of the lSth fair ay. While we have aitempted to focuson the interests of the Town of Vail and the golfing publie, and the fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fauway, the impact on owners and residents who have long relied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmedin the1984deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the1984 deed subject to a covenant whieh was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course &ontage, and the Town has a moral, as well asa legal, obligation to respect that pian and the reliance of owners and residents on thatplan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of his neighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 1 Sth fairway and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect the interests of the Town of Vail whileinsuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliazd would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concem with respect to errant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject tothis covenant is subject to an easement permitting golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacent to the golf course, and theowners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successorsand assigns, shall make any claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Itecreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury or property damage resulting from such errant golf balls being unintentionally hit onto any of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relieve golfers of liability for damage caused byerrant golf balls. " With reference to any perceived threat from the driving range, it has been suggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventing conventional balls &om carrying over the fence which surrounds the driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving rangethat their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over the fence, then this might be an effective step in preventingerrant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be required to reconfigtue the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 Summarv; As noied in the previ us co ru lunze,atton to the Co.incil an bel7alf of 1 Sr. iiilliar i in connection with the proposed zone district a nendment, we suhmit that it is the 'I'otivn's duty to be certain that activitiesmotivated byits own perceived needs andagenda are undertaken only vith appropriate recognition and respect for the tegitimate rights and expectations of its residents and praperty owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishes to thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concems, the concems of his neighbors, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importanceto all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Ir.

Glenn Hilliard July 12, 2012 Town Council Town vf Vail Vail, Calorado Re: Potenriat changes in the Vai! Golf Course Thankyou again For allowing public input in regard to the Vail Golf Course and Clubhouse redesign and rezoning. In addition to the points made in our letter of June 26, 2012, and to thepointspreviously and currently made by our Sunburst Drive neighbors and bythe attorneys who are representing the neighhors who adjoin the area of the 18 green, we would like foryou to also consider the following points prior to making any decision on how toproceed with any changes to the 18' green and fairway or to the clubhouse. The money, which is now availableto the Town of Vait, is significant butlimited, and it should be used in a way which delivers on the expectations and maximizes the real and incremental value forthe residents, homeowners and taxpayers of Vail. Neither the current plan nor any of the publicly suggestedchanges to those plans are what voters acted upon nor do they maximize the return on investrnent The available moneX is best spent building a wor d-class clubhouse, which contains internal and connected mul-use space designed to he used for a varlety of purposes. These timited dollars should be spent as the voters approved them, not wasted in rnovingthe 18 fairway and green nor in creatlng an unneeded venue" space. lf these monies are Eocused on dubhouseimprovements rather than changing fairways and greens, there is much more opportunity to'derive income and community value from a top notch clubhouse, with such uses as a restaurant, coffee shop, separate bar and grill, locker rooms, and a stop for bikers than there is in trying to create through a new outsidevenue new income for the Town of Vail or addidonal `heads in beds" for the retail businesses oFVail. In and around Vail therealready exist more than a half dozen more desirable and not fully utilized venues for weddings and other events. Adding another outdoor venue onthe current 18 fairway and green area is not needed, is poorly conceived and is a waste of taxpaye's money. Importantty, the move of the 18 green also creates a reduction in value of the Vaii Golf Courseand a substandal reduction in the value of thehomes adjoining the 18 fairway and green. Page 1 of 3 27gp peach ee Nwd it505 — Atlaata. GA 30305 OPQee 404-745•9770 rslennhilliardAaol.com 7l17/2012 4-7-97 5/7/2013 The use of thIs area as outdoor venue space is clearly not optimal. [n addition to creating potential problems and unhappyinterfaces between golfers and venue users, and between venue users and adjaining homeowners, you should also recognize that the substantial road noise, which is okay for galfers, is not okay for weddings or ather outdoor events. 3. The target capacity of any multi-use venue space should be reduced to 75-125 people and it should be enclosed or enclosable inpoor weaEher or for safety. This is an optirnalnumber For a multiuse facility which should primarily serve as restauranh space, so that Vait is not paying to maintain space which stands empty and unused the majority of the time. Any need for °outside or patio° space should also be permanent, enclosabieandattached to the clubhouse to allow for the continuationofuse of the 18 hole and green as currently configured and the continued use oi'the driving range. This °internal" sgace arrangement witl alleviate issues of road noise, crowds and confusion from sharing outside space, avofd creating a legal nuisance to adjoining homeowners and eliminate the risk of harm or injury to venueattendees. As a reference point, the current clubhouse dining roomaccommodated comfortably the 11S peoplewho attended the wedding rehearsal dinner for our daughter, Nancy, which was held inthat venue in January2000. 4. An outside venue is not a good business for this locatlon. I serve on the board of Brookgreen Gardens, the largest ou[door figurative scul pture garden inthe U.S., and on many weekends it is utilized as a wedding venue. [n fact, our youngest daughter Glenn, was married there. When the cost of promotion, maintenance, . cleaning and preparing, and providing a liaison for wedding ptanners and sub- contractors for tents, music, etc. is factored into this, it is barely a positive contributor to the bottomline for Brookgreenand onlyprofitable at all because the use is limited to thelargest contributorsto Brookgreen. Once again, we support but do not reiterate all the comments and letters provided by neighbors and others who oppose the ideas ofmoving the 18th green or creating an outdoor venue. We support the substantial improvement of the golF and nordic clubhouse and lea ringthe 18' green and fairway where they are today. To do otherwise is a complete failureta abide by the wishes of the Vail voters and is a violation of trust with neighbors and a violation of specific covenants which havebeen relied upon for decades. Thisis not a venue suitable for outdoor events, and it is an outdoor venue whtch is unneeded and will neither add revenues to the Townof Vail nor deliver meaningful additional heads in beds" to our Vail businesses.

On thrs date, the Council is scheduled to deal with two matters, one being the follow-up to the meeting onthe 4th of September, andthe otherbeing an update on project design. Accordingly, this Memorandum will be limited to the history of this project to date and the design of the project. l. The Town has received a good many comments which almost universally oppose the projectfor the clubhouse and 18th hole as conceived. No action should be taken to destroy or in any way change the 18th hole of the golf course until everything is sorted out and there is a final determinationregarding 5/7/2013 whether the 18th hole inust be modified in order to accommodate the actual plans for the Clubhouse which are finally approved and authorized. It has been demonstrated through the submittal of alternative plans that the clubhouse can be improved with expanded area in a way which preserves the orientation of the golf- related activities toward the current 18th green and which preserves the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, and which saves the Town something in the range of a million dollars on connection with the activities related to the 18th hole alone. No one understands the Town's determination to destroy the golf course and the neighborhood, unlessthe purpose is to simply demonstrate that the Town cannot be defied. Those in the neighborhood would prefer to believe thatthis is not the case. 2. Some in the neighborhood have suggested that the Council look toits inission statement and related principals. These include the following: Your mission is to provide to the citizens of Vail, as well as your guests, superior services, and outstanding environmental stewardship. Is the destruction of a central feature of the golf courseand a neighborhood consistent with thatmission? Your values and commitmentsinclude respect, trust, integrity and collaboration andthe provision of transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility. Is the process of ramming this project down the throats of the golf community as well as the affected residents an example of those values? Is the violation of your commitmentregarding the use of the conference center funds last August an example of that transparency and accountability? Isthe unnecessary expenditure of what will almost certainly be inore than a million dollars an example of that fiscal responsibility? The neighborhoodthinks not, and the golf communitythinks not. 3. The Town has asked the Sunburst Drive residents tocommunicate their concerns about the Golf Course project to the Council. The Staff prepared a project issues report" that purportsto representthe concerns of the residents. The Town's summary of the list of issues was presented at the last Council meeting 2 5/7/2013 for input from the residents, now that this input has been received, the Town Council is avoiding any mentionor discussion of these concerns, despite the fact that the Council agenda and related materialindicated and currently indicates that the entire purpose of theprocess is to get feedback from the Council. This process hardly demonstratesany real effort by the TownCouncil even to consider the concerns of the residents orto let the community know either why the Town is so determined to create a projectwhich creates such universal animosity or why the Town is so determined to ruin one of the most desirable areas of the Valley. 4. It is becoming increasingly evident that the intended intensity of use of the events center will bean aggravation of the nuisance which has become an increasing problem for the neighborhood. This isn't something which the neighborhood has accepted in silence. Attempts havebeen made to get relief throughpolice, but the police, though courteous, have been limited to solving problemsafterdisruptions have occurred. The disruptions to the nei hborhood and the nuisance have continued, andthe police have better things to do than spend their time dealing with unruly event attendees. It has beensuggested that events will be held 100 timesper year. This would be twice each week if the events were evenly distributed, but that's unlikely. The most intense use probably will be in the active seasons - winter and summer. If events are to be permittedin the reconstructed clubhouse, theevents should be limited so that the residents and neighborhood can have some peace. Events should be limited to not more than four times each month, with not more than two events each week. Even that disruption would be a nuisance which would destroy the quality of life in the neighborhood, but it would be significantly better then the unbridled use which someone apparently has in mind. Thedesign of the new clubhouse isn't a single-meeting agenda item to be dealt with on thebasis of plans which were developed through momentum created by an extended period of in-house efforts uneffected by and not involving either the golf community or the neighborhood. The proj ectneeds to go backto the fundamentals. What can be done in order to create a clubhouseconsistent with the representations of the Council and the Town which resulted in the approval of the 2011 ballot issue and in a manner which leaves unaffected a golf course configurationwhich is valued by both the golf community and the neighborhood. This can be done. We have shown you how it can be done. There is no reason for 3 5/7/2013 the Town to be so determinedthat it must be done in the destructivemanner which is now the planned course of action. The Sunburst neighborhood requests thatthe clubhouse plans, which are the catalyst for most of the problems involvedin this project, be abandoned and that the Town go back and initiate that processbased upon the premise that nothing will happento any part of the 18th hole. xc: Sunburst Neighborhood Respe tfully; Arthur A.

My role on behalf of these owners and residents is to try to facilitate a resolution of the current conflict between these owners and residents onthe one hand and the Town and Recreation District on the other. On the 24th of July, the Town staff had a work session with concerned residents andowners of the Sunburst neighborhood to discuss the proposal for the clubhouse. First, the Council should be aware of the fact that those on whose behalf I speak appreciated this effort, and the effort of the majority of the Council who attended that meeting. Had such a meeting occurred earlier, it's possible that none of us would be in the position of trying to put back in the bottle a genie who has taken on a Iife of its own. 5/7/2013 At the July meeting, the Town's staff heard the determination of the Sunburst neighborhood to oppose the current proposal to destroy the westem third of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course in order to convert theclubhouse to an event center. At least two other noteworthy events occurred at that time. First, the Town staff, and at least six of the seven members of the Council who were present, had a first-hand experience with the congestion and conflict in uses which arise when an attempt is made to use theclubhouse as an event center at the same time it is being used as a golf clubhouse. Althoughonly about thirty people were present in connection with the work session, traffic and congestionboth outside and witl in the clubhouse was a mess. The addition of 200 square feet and an expanded patio to the clubhouse will substantially increasethe congestion and the conflict between the current uses and will result in mayhem and substantial risk of injury (other than by golf balls) to the users of the clubhouse, the golf courseand the bike and walking path. Second, the staff and members of Council present heard the opinion of a g lfing visitor to Vail regarding the effect oi conversion and shortening the 18th fairway - further lessening the challenge and value of the golfing experience on a course which is already permitting teenagers toregularly shoot scores in the mid-60's. This individual registered the same plea as other golfers that the Town not change the 18th hole. The golf course isand should be the "golden goose" of the facility, which should be protected andenhanced, not diminished or reduced in any way. For thesereasons, the Town andthe VRD should re-examine their decisionto destroy the western third of the 18th hole and keep the scale and design of the clubhouse within its current footprint and use. As currently planned, this project is a financial disaster to the Town and to the voters. The Town will lose money onoperationsand spend capital reserves which should be devoted to better uses. The total estimated cost of this project, with the measures intended to address non-existent perceived safety issues, is already approximately $7,400,000, without consideration for contingency for the new safety measures orthe costs of consultants brought on board within recent months to justify the current plans. Although the Town has indicated itsapproval of the destruction of the 18th hole andis moving forward on the efforts to design a clubhouse modified to serve as an event center, the most recent budgetindicates that, even before the decision to spend an additionalunfunded half million dollars to address recently perceived safetyconcerns, the Townwould drain its repair 2 5/7/2013 budget and that of the District, as well as tapping 2013 and 2014 revenues from amenities fees, to generate a total of more than $1,675,000 to cover what would otherwise bea shortfall in the project budget. That shortfall, with provision for contingencies is evengreater. With reference totheperceived safety hazard which supposedly prompts the destruction of the 18th hole, a request farpublic records has established that there has been only one report of a golfer struck by an errant golf ball on the 18th fairway during the last five years - and only three such incidents on the entire golf course - the other incidents being on #6 and on #13. The reasoning which promptsexpenditure of the funds to be committed here, which are ear-marked for other purposes or simply don'texist, is difficult to understand, where this is occurring in order to cure a non-existent safety problem for a project which meets with wholesale objection from the neighborhood and from golfers and violates the Council's commitment made in August, 201 l, as well as the restrictive covenant in the deed from Pulis Ranch Company affecting the land. The current plan also creates chaos in the operation of a facility critical to a golf course which is a central vacation experience of summer visitors to Vail - as well as the experiences of the local golfing community, andis nonsensical. The funds should be used to create a world-class golf clubhouse consistent withVail standards onthe footprint which currently exists, preserving the golf course in its current condition. Insummary, this proposal is a financial and legal nightmare and should be redesigned to do what the community wants and deserves - creating a world-class clubhouse for a golf course of thebest quality possible. The currentproposal makes a popular attraction for Vail less amactive for its users and unnecessarily expends funds in a way which creates problems with congestion which the Council must recognize based upon its recent experience even on the basis of even a minor "event center" function. This current proposal doesn't put head in beds here - it put heads in beds atsome community which has a decent golf course whichfunctions as such. The Sunburst neighborhood remains determined to work with the Town in order to identify a development plan for the golf course club house whieh meets the needs of the golfing community, is consistent with the commitment made to the community, and is consistent with the Pulis covenant and the needs of the 5/7/2013 community. Resolution of this matter can be achieved, but it must be achieved while recognizing the commitments of the Town to those affected by its actions, whether that occurred at the time the golf course was acquired in 1984 or in August, 2011. The Sunburst neighborhood continues to hope to work with the Town towardthat goal.

Mr. Hilliard's property andresidence adjoin the property where thataction is proposed. Mr. Hilliard has been joined by other residents of Sunburst Drive who are owners and/or residents of properties adjacentto the threatened area, and as a group they have attemptedto identify for the benefit of the Council and the Vail Recreation District the many reasons which warrant abandonment of the current plan. The points and concerns expressed by Mr. Hilliard and other owners directly to Council are generally shared by all and should be considered by Council to be a united opposition to the currentplan. It is the position of Mr. Hilliard and his neighbors that no condition exists which warrants the relocation of the18th green and fairway from their current location. To convert this area to an area devoted toevent gatherings, or gatherings of virtually any other public nature, would constitute a nuisance to the adjoining residences and a violation of the covenant which affects this property. For these reasons, among others, Mr. Hilliard and hisneighbors respectfully request that the 18th green and fairway be left in their current configuration. It was originally our understandingthat the action proposed for the 18thgreen and fairway was based upon the perceived need for construction of additionalparking and an outdoor events venue in connection with an expansion of the Vail golf course clubhouse. At the Council meeting on the 3rd of July, the focus with reference to theneed to take the proposed action seemed to shift to safety and a perceived mandate related to the vote approving the expenditure 5/7/2013 of taxes collected for a conferencecenter. For that reason, thisletter deals primarily with those two subj ects with which the Council seems to be concerned. Safety: The Council has identified three areas of concern with reference to safety, none of which constitute existing problems warranting the destruction and relocation of the 18thgreen andthe western third of the 18th fairway. These areas of concern axe (1) golf balls from the driving range landing on the 18th fairway, (2) the proximity of residences adj acent to 18thgreen and the westernpart of the 18th fairway, and (3) the danger posed to a proposed commercial events venue east andlor south of the clubhouse. Far the reasons noted below, none of these reasons warrant the action under consideration. 1. - golf balls from the driving range landing on the 13th fairway - The Town's expert in golf course design has indicated that golf balls hit from the driving range sometimes land on the 18th fairway, and that, for this reason, the portion of the 18th fairway affected should be deactivated as a fairway. There are at least three problems with this logic. a. Although the expert did not display the results of any study on the north side of the driving range, the effect of the existence of the driving rangeon the l Oth fairway tothe north of the range is likely identical to the effect on the18th fairway. If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then the same logic dictates that the impact area on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and the hole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b. The approach under consideration wouldeffectively "sterilize" the impact areas on the 18th fairway againstany use whatsoever. The impact area would become a vacuum where no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate owned by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacuum, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will not long remain unused, it must be observed that virtually any use of that ground will create greater risk for the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the 18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such existing hazard would be increased by a factor of ten times (20 vs. 200) if the Town were to take the direction currently proposed. This impact would be aggravated by the fact that, while golfers almost certainlywould haveassumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in the sport, persons attending an event would not be subject to such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 In reality, the minimal and fleeting threat posed to golfers on the l Oth and 18th fairway suggests that no change whatsoever is requiredto the current configuration of the golf course or the use of conventional golf balls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, at some point in the future the Town will certainly identify a need for this area and will conclude that there is only one answerto thebroader problem. A change in the 18th fairway and green deal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the l Oth fairway or the virtual certainty of altemative uses for the part of the 18th fairway proposed for abandonment. The Town controls the balls used onthe driving range, and it is the height and distance traveledby those balls which creates the threat, to the extent any threat exists. The only universal solution to the perceivedthreat is the conversion of the driving range to the use of golf balls which travel a shorter distance and, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to clear thefence surrounding the driving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whether this action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then thisaction is inevitable, andbecause the18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point intime to changetherange ball supply to shorter distance balls is now. 2. - the proximity of residences adjacentto 18th green and the western part of the18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believes that golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can strayonto the residential properties adjacentto the western part of that fairway. The residents indicate that this rarely occurs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these owners who are objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact that they may be affected by the activity on the golf course. These people live nextto the golf course so that they canhave the experience of being next to the golf course, and they recognize that there is a risk involved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of this concern is the fact that relocation of the 18th green and elimination of the westernpart of the18th fairway will not eliminate the risk with which the Town is concerned. Rather the proposed action will shift that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These are properties whose owners have hadno notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regarding whetherthey do or do notwish to assume the risk which the owners and residents around the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortable. Becausethe risk with which the Town is concernedis not eliminated but is shifted to those who are not now under that risk, without their knowledge, this safetyargument is without any logic. 3 5/7/2013 3. - the danger posed to an events venue east and/ar south of the clubhouse - Perceived risk to an events venue east and/or south of the clubhouse has at leastthree central problems. a. First, this perceived risk is not now in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council andthe Vail Recreation District create an outdoor events venue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any events venue, ar by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop butprotected or (iii) exterior but protected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, because the currently proposed events venue does not now exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact from some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to the proposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an eventsvenue on the part of the 18th fairway will actually increase any exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating on the driving range, rather than eliminate that risk. For thereasons noted above, none of rationales relied upon by the Town warrant or necessitate the destruction or relocation of the 18th greenand fairway. Voter mandate: The Town has on severaloccasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conference centerfunds has given it a clear direction to create an exterior events center in the axea of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involved in the development of the ballot question or the related planning may have been aware that an external eventcenter was part of someone's plan, the ballot question didnot reflect any such proposed direction ar plan. The best information available indicatesthat the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remainingconvention center funds for the Expansion and improvement of the ciccbhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the ballot question in no way indicated that the program would involve or require the destruction andlorappropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use of the word "including" clearly indicates that the expansion and improvement of the clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the community space would be interior to and/or a part of the clubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmed this popular reading and understanding of the proposal. L 5/7/2013 The Town has received no voter mandate for the destruction or relocation of any part of the 18th fairway or the18thgreen. Other Considerations: Apart from the lack of justificationfor the abandonment of the western part of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course, there exist at least four other considerations which require withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenantsassociated with the 1984 deed through which the Town acquired the subject properly prohibit the use of the propertywhich includes the 18thhole for any purpose other than a"public golf course or open space or park for the benefit of the public and only such other related support facilities required for those purposes". The conversion of part of this propertyinto an events center for the purpose of putting "heads in beds" is a commercial use which violates that covenant. That covenant was and is enforceable by the successors and assigns of the Pulis Ranch Company. Available information indicates that theowners of the properties on Sunburst Drive are successorsand assigns of the Pulis RanchCompany entitled to enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does not wish toplaced in the position of being required to enforce that covenant, nor do Iunderstand any of the other property ownersto be determined to take such a direction. If, however, the former Pulis Ranch property is converted to a use which violates that covenant, he, or any of his neighbars, may be compelled to consider that course of action as the onlyavailable remedy. A second concern is the fact that virtually any use of the part of the 18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be convertedto a use inconsistent with the ability of the neighboring property owners to quietly enjoy their property. Of particular concern is the virtual certaintythat noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute a nuisance to the neighboring properties and that the proximity of large numbers of people in this area will result in an invasion of privacy. The golf coursewas conveyed to the Town of Vail and established as part of an overall plan for that golf course, open space or park for the benefit of the neighboring properties. The owners of those properties are entitled to continuing recognition of this plan, whether through respect of the original covenant or otherwise. Another consideration is the reality that, if the Town closes part of the 18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate other similar hazards, such as the threat to golfers on the l Oth fairway ortopedestrian and bicycle traffic passingunderthe tee of the 16th hole, then the Town will have effectively acknowledged the existence of a threat at one location without having dealt appropriately with the threats at other locations where the same threatsexist. Any partyinjured in one of those virtually identical situations would have an easier case demonstrating that the Town has onlyselectively corrected an identified problem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Town did not take identicalaction wherever the perceived threat exists. E 5/7/2013 Finally, it must be recognized that (a) the conversion of properties from golf course properties into properties which front on vacant land whose future is largely unpredictable, and b) the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a commercial event venue, constituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, will have a catastrophic effect on the values of the properties currently adjacent to the western third of the18th fairway. While we have attempted to focuson the interests of the Town of Vail andthe golfingpublic, andthe fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fairway, the impact onowners and residents who have long relied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmedin the 1984 deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the 1984 deed subject to a covenant which was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course frontage, and the Town has a moral, as well as a legal, obligation to respect that plan and the reliance of owners and residents on that plan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of his neighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fainvay and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliard would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concern with respecttoerrant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject to this covenant is subject to an easement permitting golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacentto the golf course, and the owners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successors and assigns, shall make any claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Recreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury ar properiy damage resulting from such errant golf balls being unintentionally hit onto any of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relieve golfers of liability for damage caused byerrant golf balls. " With reference to any perceived threat from the driving range, it has been suggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventingconventional balls from carrying over the fence which surroundsthe driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving range that their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over thefence, thenthis might bean effective step in preventing errant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be requiredto reconfigure the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 Summarv: As noted in the previous communication to the Council on behalf of Mr. Hilliard in connection with the proposed zone district amendment, we submit that it is the Town's duty to be certainthat activities motivated by its own perceived needs and agenda are undertaken only with appropriate recognition and respect for the legitimate rights and expectations of its residents and property owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishes to thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concerns, the concerns of his neighbars, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importance to all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Mr. Matt Mire, Town Attorney Mr. Greg Hall, Director of PublicWorks Mr. Bill Gibson, Department of Community Development 7 5/7/2013 Vail Valley Suite 310 Warner Professional Building 2 Post Office Box 2800 Vail, Colorado 81658-2800 Telephone: 970.476.6500 Telecopier: 970.476.4765 Town Council Town of Vail Vail, Colorado Law Office of ARTHUR A.

If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then thesame logic dictates that the impact area on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and ihe hole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b. Theapproach under consideration would effectively "sterilize" the impact areas on the 18th fairway against any use whatsoever. The impact area would become a vacuum where no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate owned by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacutun, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will not long remain unused, it must be observed that virtually any use of that ground will create greater risk for the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the 18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such e sting hazard would be increased by a factor of ten times (20vs. 200) if the Town were totake the direction currently proposed. This impactwould be aggravated by the factthat, while golfersalmost certainly would have assumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in thesport, persons attending an event would not be subjectto such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 i In reality, the minimal and fleeting threat posed to golfers on the l Oth and 18th fairway suggests that no change whatsoever is required to the current configuration of the golf course or the use of conventional golf balls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, atsome point in the future the Town will certainly identify a need for this area and will conclude that there is only one answer to the broader problem. A change in the 18th fairway and greendeal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the lOth fairway or the virtual certainty of alternative uses for the part of the 18th fairway proposed for abandoriment. The Town controls the balls used on the driving range, and it is the height and distance traveled by tliose balls which creates the threat, to the extent any threat exists. The only universal solution to the perceived threat is the conversion of the driving range to the use of golf balls which travel a shorter distance and, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to clearthe fence surrounding the driving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whetherthis action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then thisaction is inevitable, and because the 18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point in timeto change the range ball supply to shorter distance balls isnow. 2. - the proximity of residences adjacent to 18th green and the western part of the 18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believes that golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can stray onto the residential properties adjacent to the western paxt of that fairway. The residents indicate thatthis rarely occt rs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these o vners vho are objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact thatthey may be affectedby the activity on the golf course. These people live next to the golf course so that they can have the experience of being next to the golf course, and they recognize that there is a riskinvolved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of this concern is the fact that relocation of the 18thgreen and elimination of the western part of the 18th fairway will noteliminate the risk with which the Town isconcerned. Ratherthe proposed action will shift that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These are properties whoseowners have had no notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regarding whether they do or do not wish to assume the risk which the owners and residents around the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortable. Because the risk with which the Town is concerned is not eliminated but is shifted to those who are not now underthat risk, without their knowledge, this safety argument is without any logic. 3 5/7/2013 i 3. - the dangerposed to an events venue east andlor south of the clubhouse - Perceived risk to an events venue east and/or south of the clubhouse has at least three central problems. a. First, this perceived risk is not now in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council and the Vail Recreation District create an outdoor events venue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any events venue, or by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop but protectedar(iii) exterior but protected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, because the currently proposed events venue does not now exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact from some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to theproposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an events venue on the part of the 18th fairway will actually increaseany exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating on the driving range, ratherthan eliminate that risk. For the reasons noted above, none of rationales relied uponby the Town warrant or necessitate the destruction or relocation of the18thgreen and fairway. Voter mandate: The Town has on several occasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conferencecenterfunds has given it a clear direction to create an exterior events center in the area of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involvedin the development of the ballot question or the related planning may have been aware that an external event center was part of someone's plan, the ballot question did not reflect any such proposed direction or plan. The best information available indicates that the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remainingconvention center funds far the Expansion and improvement of the cla bhouse at the Va.il Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the ballot question in no wayindicated that the program wouldinvolve orrequire the destruction and/or appropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use of the word "including" clearly indicates that the expansion and improvement of the clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the community space would be interior to and/or a part of theclubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmed this popular reading and understanding of the proposal. 5/7/2013 1 i' The Town has received no voter mandate for the destruction or relocation of any part of the 13th fairway or the 18th green. Other Considerations: Apart from the lack of justification for the abandonment of the western part of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course, there exist at least four other considerations which require withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenantsassociated with the 1984 deed through which the Town acquired the subject property prohibit the use of the property which includes the 18th hole for anypurpose other than a"public golf course or open space or park for the benefit of the public and only such other relatedsupport facilities require d for those purposes". The conversion of part of this property into an events center for thepurpose of putting "heads in beds" is a commercial use which violates that covenant. That covenant was and is enforceable by the successorsand assigns of the Pulis Ranch Company. Available information indicates that the owners of the properties on Sunburst Drive are successors and assigns of the Pulis RanchCompany entitledto enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does notwish to placed in the position of beingrequired to enforce that covenant, nor do I understand any of the other property owners to be determinedto take such a direction. If, however, the former Pulis Ranchproperry is converted to a use which violates that covenant, he, or any of his neighbors, may be compelled to considerthat course of action as the only availableremedy. A second concernis the fact that virtually any use of the part of the 18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be converted to a use inconsistent with the ability of the neiDhboring property owners to quietly enjoy their property. Of particular concern is the virtual certainty that noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute anuisancetotheneighboringpropertiesandthattheproximityoflargenumbersofpeoplein this area will result in an invasion of privacy. The golf coursewas conveyed tothe Town of Vail andestablishedaspartofanoverallplanforthatgolfcourse, open space or park for the benefit of the neighboring properties. The owners of those properties are entitled to continuing recognition of this plan, whether through respect of the original covenant or otherwise. Another considerationis the reality that, if the Town closes part of the18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate other similar hazards, such as the threat to golfers on the l Oth fairway or to pedestrian and bicycle traffic passing under the tee of the 16th hole, then the Townvillhaveeffectivelyacknowledgedtheexistenceofathreatatonelocationwithouthavingdealt appropriately with the threats at otherlocations where the same threats e st. Any party injuredinoneofthosevirtuallyidenticalsituationswouldhaveaneasiercasedemonstratingthatthe Town has only selectively corrected an identifiedproblem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Towndid not take identical action wherever the perceivedthreat exists. 5 5/7/2013 ti Finally, it must be recognized that (a) the conversion of properties from golf course properties into properties which front on vacant land whose future is largely unpredictable, and b) the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a commercial eventvenue, constituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, will have a catastrophic effect on the values of the properties currently adjacentto the western third of the18th fairway. While we have attempted to focus on the interests of the Town of Vail and the golfing public, and the fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fairway, the impact on owners and residents who have longrelied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmed in the 1984 deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the 1984 deed subject to a covenant which was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course frontage, and the Town has a moral, as well as a legal, obligation to respect thatplan and the reliance of owners and residentson that plan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of hisneighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insurin the continued e stence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect theinterests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliard would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concern with respect toerrant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject to thiscovenant is subject to an easement permittin golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacentto the golf course, and the owners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successors and assigns, shall makeany claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Recreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury or property damage resulting from such errant golf ballsbeing unintentionally hit ontoany of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relievegolfers of liability for damage caused by errant golf balls. " With reference to any perceivedthreat from the driving range, it has beensuggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventing conventional balls from carrying over the fence which surrounds the driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving range that their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over the fence, then this might be an effective step in preventing errant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the 18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be required to reconfigure the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 1 a Summarv: As noted in the previous communication to the Council on behalf of Mr. Hilliard in connection with the proposed zone district amendment, we submit that it is the Town's duty to be certain that activities motivated by its own perceived needs andagenda are undertaken only with appropriate recognition and respect for the legitirnaterights and expectations of its residents and property owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishesto thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concerns, the concerns of his neighbors, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importance to all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Mr. Matt Mire, Town Attorney NIr.

Abplanalp, Jr." <Art@AbplanalpLawOffice.com> Art, I think anything that shortens the already too shortgolf course should be avoided if possible. As a par 5, the 18th hole is great. I am sure great care has been taken to design the 18th as a great par 4 and I have been assured of that fact by board member Ken Wilson whose judgement I respect. I prefer the 18th as it is. I am in favor of up dating and enlarging the clubhouse. It should be done in such a manner that does not change the 18th from a par 5 to a par 4. I cannot comment on the legality of making it more of an events center than italready is. I suspect but don't have any proof that the town may be making this an all or nothing thing to the rec board. Itappears from thetown minutes that not all the council members had the same understanding about using the originalenvelope but the peopte at the meeting were lead to believe that was the proposal. I am sympathetic with the land owners nearby that don't want to lose their proximity to the golf course. I am also sympathetic with theneighborhood that doesn't want any more increased traffic and noise above what already exists. I am not sure what the overall economic benefit will be to the town. The figures thatthey have provided should be subjected to closer scrutiny. One town person with whom I spoke said that they were really only looking for an annual net benefit to the town of around 100,000. I don't recall who said it.

The exp nded area is vithin the clubhouse footprint, consistent with the representations to the public by the Council onthe 2nd of August, 2011; 2. The view of the Gore Range from the eYpanded areais even better than that from the currently proposed Location; 3. The location of the eYpanded area on the north side of the facility is less vulnerable to errant shots from the 18th fairway; he expanded area effectively and efticiently uses the currently vacant airspace above the existing site of the cart storage area, r ther than using part of that area as a lar e patio, as is proposedunder theplans currently under consideration; The expanded area includes a laree gallery which can be used f'or re-event functions; 6. The expanded area has an entry separate f om the entry to the golf Facilities; 7, The golf grill and other golf-related facilities are riented toward the existing location of the 18th green; 8. "l he kitChen remains central to both the golf grill and the expanded area, and herefore is able to serve both; 9. "The golf facilities and the expancled area each have separate restroom facilities. 5/7/2013 rn ' t p D -p D m Z N r' m m i Z r- - o < z r — m o 0 0 rn T o o Z rn m m OA T2 r - D D p F L 'J7Z N m - m ° m m Z DZ D 9 m Z 37 p '.yC 9 C "0 O m - m m O r U --I D G T m r m z O 11J m r D I m i O X c Zn moz z Iz -{ I !

Bill Pierce recused himself due to a conflict of interest as he is the project architect for the ongoing remodel of Fire Station No. 2. Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Commissioner Pratt noted concerns about staging the fire truck across the street at the fire station construction site. Warren Campbell and Greg Hall explained the accommodations have been made for the truck in that location. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked for clarification about the notice and whether the proposed use was only offices or also for dwelling units. Warren Campbell responded that firemen would be using the space as for sleeping quarters, food preparation, and offices for the on duty crew. 30 minutes 5/7/2013 Page 2 2. A request for a review of an exterior alteration or modification, pursuant to Section 12-7J-12, Vail Town Code, to allow for a limited service lodge, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West (The Roost Lodge)/ Lots 10, 11, 12, Buffehr Creek Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto (PEC120041). Applicant: Timberline Roost Lodge, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Approved with condition(s) MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-1-0 (Rediker opposed) CONDITION(S): 1.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall provide the Town of Vail a public access easement, in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney, for the pedestrian connection between the bus stop and Meadow Ridge Road.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall construct a 2.0 inch asphalt overlay for the extent of all constructed Frontage Road improvements. Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the request. He highlighted that there was no change to the approved bulk and mass, but a conversion of the 28 dwelling units in the project to lodge units. He spoke to the removal of a small architectural element on the west elevation of the building. He added that the project is compliant with the 5/7/2013 Page 4 current Town Code with regard to employee housing mitigation. He added that a process was underway in which the Town staff was evaluating the employee housing generation rates for limited service hotels of this caliber. He concluded by highlighting the projects benefits and a change request to the Public Works Department’s recommended traffic mitigation condition. Gregory Bemis, resident of the neighborhood, asked about the number of stories in the structure. Dominic Mauriello, responded that the number of floors was the same as approved in 2006. There was no change to approved plans with regard to building height. Gregory Bemis asked about fire egress on the rear of the building, the retaining wall along the rear, and requested that exterior lighting be subdued on the rear side of the structure. He added that the neighborhood understands the need for the project, but expressed concern over the shadow that might be cast on the street behind. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked what the average size of the hotel rooms would be. Dominic Mauriello brought up a slide depicting the breakdown of the room types of units. Jim Lamont asked how fire department access was being provided for the project. Dominic Mauriello explained that fire department access will be from the frontage road and the street behind. Jim Lamont inquired about the landscaping along the north property line. Dominic Mauriello explained the retaining walls and landscaping. Jim Lamont inquired as to the ability to reduce the width of pavement in front the structure to achieve greater landscaping. Dominic Mauriello explained the area necessary to accommodate a delivery truck turning radius. Commissioner Pierce asked Tom Kassmel to speak to the applicant’s request for the traffic impact fee to be off-set by their construction of street improvements. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, spoke to the change in policy in 2009 with regard to allowing for traffic impact fees to be off-set. Tom pointed out that this is the first large scale project, other than Solaris, which would need to comply with this revised policy. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the cost of installing the Simba Run underpass and the traffic impacts generated. Tom Kassmel answered Commissioner Kurz’s question. Commissioner Pratt asked about recommended condition number 18 which would require an overlay of the street and turn lanes. Tom Kassmel explained the recommended overlay requirement. 5/7/2013 Page 5 Dominic Mauriello made an argument that the existing approval would be allowed to off-set its traffic impact fees by constructing improvements and this new policy is a disincentive for the applicant to convert the approved condominiums to hotel rooms. Commissioner Kurz stated that it appeared capricious to no longer allow this project, which has an existing approval, to offset the fees with improvements. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the accuracy of the submitted sun/shade analysis. Dominic Mauriello stated that the analysis was based on final version of the previously approved building design. Commissioner Rediker stated that it might be unfortunate for this applicant, but the new traffic impact fee policy should be assessed. He added that with the design of the roof structure creates a building with a five stories appearance. Commissioner Bird how the hotel would transport guests to the ski mountain. Dominic Mauriello explained how guest could access the nearby bus routes. Commissioner Bird recommended the applicant consider providing shuttle services for their guests. She asked if guest could rent rooms for more than 30 days. Dominic Mauriello clarified that this isn’t an extended stay hotel, but nothing would prohibit a guest willing to pay the daily rate to stay for long periods. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to any precedent of a property having two approved development plans. Bill Gibson noted that staff was not aware of any similar circumstances. Commissioner Pratt stated that as the crux of the issue was the conversion of dwelling units to accommodation units with no changes to the building bulk and mass which he believes is a benefit to the community. He would be in support of allowing the traffic impact fees to be off-set. He does not support on-site employee housing units because they are not compatible with hotel uses in the same building. Commissioner Cartin asked how the sidewalk along the front of the project will tie in with the existing sidewalk along the frontage road. Tom Kasmel explained that this is the “last piece” in bike path system in this neighborhood.. Commissioner Hopkins asked about the service of guest with a bus stop heading west and adding time to get to the mountain. She also recommended the applicant consider providing guests with a shuttle service. Commissioner Kurz inquired about the traffic impact fee associated with the previous approval. Tom Kassmel clarified how the previous fees could be off-set. Commissioner Kurz noted his support for allowing the traffic impact fees to be off-set for this proposal and made a motion for approval with conditions. 5/7/2013 Page 6 Dominic Mauriello clarified that the motion would allow the traffic impact fees to be off-set by the construction of transportation improvements. 60 minutes 3. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-16- 10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House (i.e. accessory buildings, permanent and temporary, and uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional outdoor recreational uses, and necessary for the operation thereof, including restrooms, drinking fountains, bleachers, concessions, storage buildings, and similar uses), located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and Unplatted Parcels (a complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community Development Department Office), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120036) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Continued to November 26, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5-0-2 (Pierce and Hopkins recused) Commissioner Pierce recused himself due to a conflict of interest as he is the project architect on the temporary golf course buildings and a member of the Fallridge home owners association. He departed the meeting. Commissioner Hopkins recused herself due to conflicts of interest as her architecture firm has submitted an alternative design for the golf course clubhouse project. She also departed the meeting. Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He covered the three applications and how together they would permit the reconstruction of the Vail Golf Course. Commissioner Cartin asked that packets of this size be provide as much in advance as possible. Commissioner Kurz inquired about the community liaison concept in the proposed operation plan. Tom Braun, the applicant’s representative, answered that the operation plan would provide for a single point of contact for the neighborhood if they have questions or concerns. Tom Braun gave a presentation highlighting questions asked previously by the Commissioners about the design and program. He covered the clubhouse banquet/event room occupancy, traffic trip analysis, Design Review conceptual review comments, the proposed rezoning, the building height text amendments, and the amended conditional use permit application. Commissioner Pratt asked if architectural projections would be allowed above the proposed height limit. Bill Gibson described how an architectural projection is allowed to be taller than the height limit in all zone districts in Vail. Tom Braun then presented each element of the proposed operations plan. Commissioner Kurz stated that the neighborhood should have a similar liaison that interacts with the VRD and the Town, and there needs to be accountability on both sides. 5/7/2013 Page 7 Commissioner Bird asked if there was air conditioning planned for the banquet room? She asked if the bar/grill would also be available for rent by groups. Greg Hall explained that the bar/grill during the summer would be made solely available to golfers, but it was a possibility that it could be used by other groups in the winter. Tom Braun described the proposed parking management plan. He covered statistic collected at the Donovan Pavilion that may predict the types of events expected and the typical event start times. He noted that the VRD operates the entire facility, so they would also manage the parking. Commissioner Bird inquired as to the enforceability of requiring a shuttle service for certain events at certain times of day and asked what course of action would be used to prevent parking on Sunburst Drive. Tom Braun described how shuttles, parking, and other issues would be part of the contract and deposit for reserving the banquet room. Commissioner Kurz stated that parking on Sunburst Drive is a Code Enforcement (Police) issue and will would to be addressed in that manner. Commissioner Cartin inquired as to how the switch from general parking to valet parking would occur and how will it be insured that non-valet cars aren’t blocked in. Tom Braun explained the anticipated management process. Commissioner Cartin asked about deliveries. Pedros Campos explained how and where the loading and delivery will occur. Dale Bugby, an avid golfer who spends a lot of time on the course, stated that the parking lot is typically full. If this were any other applicant there would be a new parking structure with a park on top. The proposed parking plan is flawed since it doesn’t address banquet staff parking. There is not enough parking for golfing and an event since some rounds of golf go until 8:00 PM. He covered a letter that he wrote and submitted through Art Abplanalp. An event center is not compatible with the neighborhood. The property was purchased with open space tax money and the PEC’s approval of this application will jeopardize the future collection of that tax. This proposal conflicts with the Pulis covenants. The golf community is opposed to this plan. He suggested a survey of season golf pass holders to ascertain the feelings on this application. The Town Council and the VRD Board have made a back-door-deal that neither group will go back on now. The Town will pay to fix the clubhouse, but only if they get an event center. Neighbors will be impacts by noise since weddings don’t occur without someone opening the door to go outside for a smoke. The applicant states that there is minimal change, but the destruction of the 18th green and the baffle nets have negative impacts. The existing clubhouse is a dump, but the proposed building is out of scale with the neighborhood. The conditional use permit allows new uses, not the expansion of existing uses. The event size description and parking proposal does not take into account the total capacity of people in the banquet room, at the grill, on the patio, and on the lawn area. The applicant is not proposing to prohibit tents. The proposed grill and too small and won’t be a profitable business. The Commission needs to vote no on the project. Art Abplanalp, attorney representing several property owners, asked if the members had received his letter. His response was challenged because the Town was late publishing the packet. He provide a packet of papers which he believed reflected what the Commissioner had 5/7/2013 Page 8 already received, but he wanted to ensure were a part of the record. He noted their support for the proposed rezoning of the parking lot. He spoke to the height amendment and that architectural projections should not be allowed over 33 feet. He spoke to the definition of what is included as an accessory use to a golf course. A public golf course does not typically have this type of a facility and it’s not within the Commissioner purview to approve this application. He stated that a wedding chapel is not necessary for a golf course. Other golf courses have event facilities separated from the clubhouse. Facilities for events are not typically found at public golf courses. The proposed building design looks like the wedding chapel at the Air Force Academy and doesn’t look like a golf course clubhouse. This is a wedding chapel and restaurant with a clubhouse attached. He stated that the only goal of this project is build a cash-cow for revenues that will come at the neighbors’ expense. He compared the sizes of the existing and proposed banquet rooms, patio, etc. He stated that the proposed chapel and restaurant are not necessary for a golf course. He noted that the neighbors and golfers are opposed to the project. He objected to the public notice not acknowledging the conversion of the 18th green. The notice only refers to the clubhouse and does not speak to the changes on the golf course and the banquet facility. He asked about bleachers and other items listed in the public notice. Bill Gibson clarified that term bleachers and the other listed items in the notice is the verbatim land use language from the Vail Town Code and are not the description of the applicant’s request. Art Abplanalp continued that he does not believe the Commission has been made aware of what the applicant is actually asking for. The proposed conditional use permit is a blank-check. Nothing being presented by the applicant is for sure, there is no certainty. The proposed management and operation plan is worthless since the term “may” is used and it doesn’t address the concerns of the neighbors. If the Commission is going to provide the type of hearing that the constituents expect, the Commission needs to consider everything before them. He believes staff will need to be on-site 24-7 to ensure compliance. People are furious about this proposal but worn down by the review process, so that is why there are so few people in the audience. Art stated that Warren Pulis himself is opposed to this project. He further noted that during past Town Council hearings former Mayor Dick Cleveland and current Mayor Andy Daley said the clubhouse remodel would occur within the footprint of the existing building. He noted than the neighbors had submitted an alternative design to the Town Council, but have not yet received a response. He requested that the Commission put an end to the VRD and Town Council’s arrogance. Gretchen Bussey a resident of the neighborhood, spoke to her concerns about parking. She raised concerns about tents,, the process for approving the tents, will the tents have music, and other questions. She asked who is the proposed neighborhood liaison and who will monitor the parking lot. She is concerned that the proposed events center is a large size. Lue Maslak, resident of Sunburst Drive representing herself and her husband, spoke about the time she and her husband put into finding the perfect property to build their house and retire. She is opposed to the proposed co-opting of the clubhouse and noted that the building is 1/3 for golf and 2/3 for events. She noted that the bride’s room appears to be larger than the men’s locker room. This is a residential neighborhood with bicycles and children and the proposal is not compatible. She urged the Commission to denying the project. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, thanked those Commissioners who recognized that they had a conflict of interest and stepped down. He added that in projects such as this with 5/7/2013 Page 9 many cross-currents that other conflicts should be made know. The Town should consider adopting a code of ethics rather than simply relying on the conflict of interest rules. He was confused if the neighbor’s alternative plan (referenced by Art Abplanalp) that was prepared by Snowdon/Hopkins Architects had been submitted to the Commission. He asked the attorney representing the neighbors if it has been submitted as a part of the record. Art Abplanalp stated that it had been submitted prior to the last Commission hearing. Jim Lamont asked if the VRD was a lessee of the Town and if any term of that agreement can be overturned by the Town Council. There is confusion over the rolls and that the Town and VRD are one and the same. They are separate entities and the Town can at its discretion modify the agreement. Therefore, what is approved by this Council can be changed by a future Council. Te is amused at the operation plan and finds it inadequate when compared to the Golden Peak operation/management plan. In the Golden Peak Management plan there is a requirement for all parties (including the neighbors) to be consulted on amendments and changes. The proposed management plan submitted is dictatorial and not collaborative. He stated that the current problems at the clubhouse will not go away with the approval of this project and the management plan doesn’t solve any problems. He clarified that the Vail Homeowners are not a neighborhood association and there only obligation is to communicate. He suggested that the proposed building height text should have a separate clubhouse section in the code. He believes there needs to be a paragraph for all parcels and then specifics for the clubhouse. He noted concern that property owner adjacent to other Outdoor Recreation District properties have not been specifically notified about proposed height change and would not support a height increase for all buildings. The lack of landscaping along the south end of the parking lot is symptomatic of this whole process. The Commission, even in their limited role, needs to send the message that the applicant is not being a good neighbor. Commissioner Kurz inquired of Matt Mire, Town Attorney, if approval of this project would jeopardizing the collection of real estate transfer tax (as asserted by Dale Bugby). Matt Mire answered no. Commissioner Rediker inquired about the property covenant and any current or potential violations. Mire Mire said he has issued a legal opinion that he can share with the Commission in executive session, but due to the ongoing litigation he will not disclose that opinion in the hearing. He clarified that private covenants are outside the scope of the Commission scope of review. Commissioner Rediker stated that as he reads the Outdoor Recreation District and he does not read anything about a banquet facility, etc. He asked for clarification. Bill Gibson read from the district stating that the golf course is a permitted use and the clubhouse and related uses are accessory and subject to the review of a conditional use permit. Commissioner Rediker inquired further about what is considered accessory. He does see how someone could object to a pro shop, locker rooms, etc.; but was unclear whether or not a banquet facility would be objectionable or not permitted. Tom Braun, stated that the Town Code is not clear on the specific uses within the club house, but many golf courses include a banquet facility. 5/7/2013 Page 10 Bill Gibson gave an example of City Market which is a grocery store. However, within that grocery store there may be various types of the activities such as a pharmacy, photo development, movie rentals, a deli, etc. Commissioner Rediker noted that some concerns from the neighbors are being overblown and some of their rhetoric is weird. He stated that this proposal is not a wedding chapel. Art Abplanalp state that the covenant language and the Code include very similar language. Dale Bugby added that everyone should read the Pulis deed as it states “only what is required”. Bill Gibson clarified that the covenants are beyond the scope of the Commission’s review. Commissioner Kurz stated his concerns about formalizing a liaison and his concerns about the proposed building height language. Addressing Jim Lamont’s comments, Commissioner Kurz disclosed that he serves on the Vail Economic Advisory Committee (VEAC) and he is married to the Town of Vail Economic Development Manager; but this has no influence over him in reviewing this project. Commissioner Bird suggested that the bride room be relabeled on the plans to be a meeting room. She agrees that height needs to be more clearly defined and she is not sold on the parking plan. Commissioner Cartin asked the applicant to clearly identify the proposed conditional use permit area. Commissioner Pratt asked how tents are allowed. Bill Gibson explained that there are two processes. There is a conditional use permit review process for seasonal uses and structures, and there is a special event process through the Committee on Special Events. Commissioner Cartin agreed Jim Lamont’s recommendation to separate the code language regarding building height for clubhouses. He clarified that the Commission is a judicial review body, and does not make a decisions about the configuration of the holes at the golf course. Bill Gibson clarified that the height architectural projections is not unlimited. The Town Code limits there height to be 25% more than the height listed in every zone district. He gave an example of an existing architectural projection in the neighborhood and described how the observatory tower at the Maslak was approved to exceed the height limit of the Two-Family Primary/Secondary District. Commissioner Kurz suggested that the Commission take action on the proposed rezoning and text amendment. Commissioner Pratt noted his concern that the parking study shows enough parking, but anecdotal evidence from the neighbors suggests otherwise. The retaining wall on the south end of the lot should be looked at and reworked to achieve an improved buffer. He recommended that the lawn area included in the conditional use permit area or that tents should not be erected. The management plan seems to be reactive verses proactive. He wonders how all the elements of the management plan are addressed real time during an event. He pointed out that the drainage report speaks to surface drainage to an open ditch. He recommended that the 5/7/2013 Page 11 applicant install a sand and oil separator. He would like to see some sort of trigger for the management plan to return to the Commission for review should a certain number of complaints be received or maybe after one year of operation. Motions were made on the rezoning and text amendments. Tom Braun asked for clarification on the issues of concern. The Commission summarized their concerns about parking and the day of management of events. Commissioner Kurz noted that he does not remember seeing an alternative plan proposal. Commissioner Pratt stated that any alternative plan needs to be presented to the applicant and not to the Commission. Tom Braun noted that they would look into Commissioner Pratt suggestion of a trigger to re- review any approvals. Art Abplanalp noted that the exhibit in the document he submitted earlier in the hearing includes the neighbor’s alterative plan and stated that the Commission should not approve what the applicant is proposing. Commissioner Pratt again stated that the decision of what to propose is up to the applicant, not the Commission. 20 minutes 4.

From: Diane Boyer [mailto:dianeboyer@skealimited.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 2: 15 PM To: Council Dist List Subject: Fwd: Vail Welcome Center and Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum Dear Vail Town Council, It was nice to see everyone at the work session Tuesday afternoon. As a Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum board member, I was interested in the discussion and direction the Council is planning to take regarding the TOV Welcome Center and the CSSM. You are striving to bring Vail visitors' "first impression" up to par with the passion we have for our World Class community. I feel strongly that incorporating a re-energized Colorado Ski Museum presence into the Welcome Center remodel is one way to show off our town, our resort, and our love for the sport of skiing, the mountains, and the history that has enabled us to build Vail into what it is today. With 2015 on the near horizon, I want Vail to shine in the international spotlight--notjust on the hill, but everywhere . It's a matter of pride. If the Welcome Center remodel were to incorporate additional space and upgrades for the CSSM (as in plan 4 of the presentation by Janet Martin), we would be willing to discuss co-operative funding of our share of the project through a CSSM capital campaign. Let's face it: The current Welcome Center is NOT up to par with our town , and the current CSSM facility is NOT up to par with a 21 st century museum. Both facilities need more than "lipstick on a pig". The CSSM ( incorporated by TOV) was moved to the parking structure by TOV from its original freestanding location on Vail Road as a temporary fix when development encroached on the old Ma Bell building leaving only enough space for a public pocket park. The parking structure space was never meant to be a permanent location for the museum--the space was never designed for such a use--low ceiling, cavernous, virtually no windows--it was just available space at the time. That said , CSSM has made great strides in improving and making the museum location as attractive as possible, given the constraints of the structure. Now is our chance to enhance the entrance to Vail with a vibrant museum presence that tells our history and celebrates our passion for the mountains and what brought us to Vail in the first place . 1 Our community prides itself in being World Class. Let's show the world that we are truly World Class. Might any of you (and Stan) have time to meet over coffee as the town searches for"direction" on this important project?

It is critical that Vail give its guests a first view of the community that is commensurate with the world class resort that we are. This becomes even more important as we approach 2015 when the entire ski world's eyes will be on us. Not only will an upgraded, vibrant and state of the art ski museum help enhance that important first impression it can also become a vital community asset by telling the stories of Vail, the 10th Mountain Division and Colorado ski history more effectively. The museum's current home is, at best, sub standard. The low ceilings and cave like layout were never designed to house a facility like ours, but with the enhancements presented by Janet Martin, the museum could truly become the envy of its peers and a facility that Vail could take a great deal of pride in. (From a strategic pOint of view, it might make some sense for the museum to take on the role of operating the welcome center as well as the museum -the history of Vail, the history of Colorado skiing and a welcome to the Vail of today seem to work nicely together.) The option that I thought made the most sense, both for the Welcome Center and for the CSSM, was Option 4. That option is one that provides the best possible facility and also offers the best fund raising opportunities for the museum. Naturally, we would expect to share to some degree in the costs of the redevelopment of the site. The CSSM is committed to Vail as its home and committed to displaying the history of Vail along with the history of Colorado skiing. We welcome the opportunity to work closely with the Town of Vail, a co-founder of the Museum, to bring our facility up to a standard that we all can be proud of. If anyone would like to discuss tis further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SUMMARY The purpose of this hearing if for a work session to allow the applicant, the Town of Vail, to introduce a proposal to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. The applicant has submitted three separate, but related, development applications for the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for sloping roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House. For the purposes of this hearing, the Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission reviews these three related items concurrently. Final action on the proposed rezoning, prescribed regulation amendment, and conditional use permit amendment applications will be requested at a future public hearing. The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the applicant’s presentation, asks questions, and continues the hearing of these items to its November 12, 2012, meeting for further review. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. This proposal involves three development applications subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for slopi ng roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. Based upon the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the proposed renovation of the golf course club house includes the following: “• Dedicated banquet room with a capacity for 200 people • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the banquet room • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs will be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the banquet room and the recreation uses • A grill/bar is sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 • A kitchen is sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the banquet space. • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space should be placed at the parking lot level • Project design that provides for both a winter operation plan and a summer operation plan and any use of the cart barn in the winter should present a finished quality expected for Vail guests • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building • Locate golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop and to clarify circulation on the front side of the building • Maintain approximate existing square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building • Two-story tall (4 level) building • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure is critical to maintain the original project budget.” To clarify, the three subject development applications have no bearing on whether the 18th hole will be realigned/reconfigured or if the Hole #18 green or tee boxes will be relocated. The decision to move Hole #18 was made by the property owner, the Vail Town Council, based upon safety concerns and other factors not relevant to the three development applications before the Planning and Environmental Commission. A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant’s request (Attachment B), and written public comment (Attachment C) have been attached for review and inclusion in the record. III. BACKGROUND On November 8, 2011, the Town of Vail electorate approved ballot question #1 which stated: “Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements?” 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 4 On April 16, 2012, the Town of Vail (golf course property owner), in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District (golf course operator), submitted a final plat application and a rezoning application intended to facilitate future renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election. On May 14, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat creating the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Parcel and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse site from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. Based upon subsequent public input, the applicant has withdrawn those applications. Prior to submitting new development applications for renovating the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, the Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District held multiple public hearings and community open houses to obtain additional public input on a variety of golf course related issues and proposals, including: a re-zoning process for the site, proposed parameters for use of temporary tents on the clubhouse site, possible uses for the existing 18th green following realignment of the hole, parking lot access, netting for the driving range, clubhouse remodel design, including site layout, landscaping, circulation, floor plans and elevations, etc. On September 24, 2012, the Town of Vail, in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District, submitted the subject zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendments, and conditional use permit amendment applications to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. On October 11, 2012, the Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District were notified of a complaint filed by adjacent property owners in Eagle County District Court alleging the golf course renovation project violates an existing covenant on the golf course property, among other claims. At this time, the lawsuit does not prevent the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review of the three submitted development applications. IV. ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BODIES Planning and Environmental Commission: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for forwarding a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of approval, approval with modifications, or denial of zone district boundary amendment applications and prescribed regulation amendment applications, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a conditional use permit application, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code. Design Review Board: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 5 The Design Review Board has no review authority over a zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendment, or conditional use permit application. However, the Design Review Board is responsible for the final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of any accompanying design review application. Town Council: The Town Council has the authority to hear and decide appeals from any decision, determination, or interpretation by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board. The Town Council may also call up a decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board under certain conditions. V. NEXT STEPS Final action on the proposed zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation amendment, and conditional use permit amendment applications will be requested at a future public hearing. Both the applicant and the Community Development Department anticipate additional hearings before the Planning and Environmental Commission to further discuss the various aspects of the applicant’s proposal as the applicant continues to refine the details of the request. Future work session topics may include: • Zone district boundary amendment • Outdoor Recreation District building height amendment • Development Plans (site and landscape plans, architectural plans, etc.) • Operations/Management Plans • Traffic and Parking Plans VI. RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission listens to the applicant’s presentation, asks questions, and continues the hearing of these items to its November 12, 2012, meeting for further review.

The following information is provided below: • Summary of proposed Clubhouse improvements, • Purpose of submittal, • Background on the Clubhouse and this proposal, and • Development applications. This application is submitted on behalf of the Public Works Department of the Town of Vail in conjunction with participation of the Vail Recreation District. In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to seek voter approval to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. In the Fall of 2011 voters approved the use of Conference Center funds for three projects – Golf Course Clubhouse improvements, a Vail Village Visitor’s Center and Ford Park improvements. Specific improvements for each of these projects were defined in response to the underlying goals articulated in the 2011 ballot language: Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements? 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 2 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP The primary improvements envisioned for the Clubhouse included a new, dedicated banquet room and a number of other improvements to the facility that would significantly improve nordic and golf course operations and the overall experience of the guests and users of the building. At a very general level, the following vision statement for the project has played a major role in design decisions over the past months: “… to design a facility that broadens the appeal of golf and nordic facilities while expanding the opportunities for year around use, by creating a unique and special sense of place that is aligned with guest expectations for a world class destination resort . . .” This broad vision statement has influenced the overall direction of the project design. However, many other factors including but not limited to the development program, operations, existing improvements and overall site features and characteristics have directly influenced the team’s approach to project design. A plan set of proposed improvements has been submitted under separate cover. Specific parameters used in the project design included: • Dedicated banquet room with a capacity for 200 people • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the banquet room • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs will be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the banquet room and the recreation uses • A grill/bar is sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space • A kitchen is sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the banquet space. • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space should be placed at the parking lot level • Project design that provides for both a winter operation plan and a summer operation plan and any use of the cart barn in the winter should present a finished quality expected for Vail guests • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building • Locate golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop and to clarify circulation on the front side of the building • Maintain approximate existing square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building • Two-story tall (4 level) building • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure is critical to maintain the original project budget. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 3 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP Purpose of this Submittal Three related development applications are proposed in order to facilitate the re- development of the Clubhouse. These include: 1. Re-zoning a portion of the Clubhouse area from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR), 2. A text amendment to the OR District to increase allowable building height from 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof) to 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof), and 3. Amendment to existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for modifications to the Clubhouse. The first step in the PEC’s review of this project will be a series of work sessions, the purpose of which will be to introduce the project, address the PEC and community’s initial questions and comments, scope potential issues and get other input on the project. PEC action on these applications will then be held after final plans have been re-fined. Background on the Clubhouse and this Proposal Following voter approval in the fall of 2011 to reallocate a portion of Conference Center Funds to the Clubhouse project the Town assembled a project team and design work on project began earlier this year. Since that time the team has held numerous meetings with the Town Council and the Recreation Sub-Committee to define the scope of the project and to review progress on the design of the project. In August a neighborhood meeting was held at the Clubhouse to gather input from the community regarding their issues and concerns with the project. The project team is currently involved in a series of public work sessions with the Town Council. The focus of these work sessions has been to discuss all aspects of the project, specifically dealing with neighborhood issues/concerns and potential alternatives for how the zoning, project design and operation of the new facility can address neighborhood concerns. In 1986 a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the Clubhouse was approved by the PEC. Main elements of the ’86 expansion was new golf cart storage, expansion of the bar/dining area, a new meeting room and an expanded kitchen. Today the facility reflects the plans approved by this 1986 approval. Historically the facility has been used as the clubhouse for the golf course, for nordic skiing, and for banquets and other special events. The Vail Golf Course is located on portions of Vail Village Filing 7 and Filing 8 and on a number of unplatted parcels. The existing Clubhouse is located on an unplatted parcel that is zoned Outdoor Recreation (OR). An area generally encompassing the Clubhouse parking lot is located on Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and is currently zoned General Use 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 4 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP (GU). In both districts “golf courses” are a permitted use and “accessory buildings” (i.e. the Clubhouse) are a conditional use. As such, an amendment to the current CUP is necessary in order to allow for the planned re-development of this facility. Development Applications The following summarizes the three development applications proposed for the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse re-development project. Re-Zoning of Parking Lot from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR) Currently the Clubhouse area is zoned two different zone districts. The parking lot is zoned GU while the Clubhouse building and immediate area is zoned OR. Having what is essentially one development site zoned two different zone districts creates an awkward situation and this re-zoning request is proposed in large part to remedy this existing situation. Either the OR or GU district could provide a suitable and workable zoning for the golf course clubhouse area. Based in large part on input from the community, the GU portion of the Clubhouse area is proposed to be re-zoned to OR. Many residents in the golf course neighborhood expressed concern with the board range of potential land uses under GU zoning and to address this concern the proposed re-zoning would designate the entire Clubhouse area as OR. The OR zone district, while allowing for the golf course and clubhouse use (as a CUP), does have a very restrictive building height limit. A code amendment to the OR zone district is proposed to remedy this situation (see below). Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed change to zone district are as follows: 1. How the proposed change in district boundaries is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 2. How the proposed change in district boundaries is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 3. How the proposed change in district boundaries is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. A response to how the proposed rezoning conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 5 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP Building Height Code Amendment to Outdoor Recreation The OR district currently limits building height to 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof). This limitation creates significant design constraints and is also the most restrictive height limitation of any zone district within the Town. In order to establish a building height that will allow for the design of an appropriate, quality building a code amendment to allow for building height of 30’ (flat roof) and 33” (sloping roof) is proposed. Building height of 30’/33’ in the Clubhouse area is consistent with the building height of surrounding properties and is thought to be reasonable given the context of this location and the role the Clubhouse plays in the operation of the golf course. However, building heights of 30’/33’ may not be appropriate elsewhere on the golf course or on other OR zoned properties. For this reason a narrowly defined code amendment will be proposed to limit the locations and/or circumstances where building height of 30’/33’ may be permissible. Alternatives for how to amend building height in the OR District include: 1. Limiting the building height increase to specific types of buildings or to specific locations, 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 6 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP 2. Establishing specific criteria that must be met in order to allow for buildings up to 30’/33’, or 3. Utilizing the CUP process to review the appropriateness of building height up to 30’/33’. These alternatives will be presented for discussion with the PEC at upcoming work sessions. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed amendment to the zoning code are as follows: 1. How the proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 2. How the proposed amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 3. How the proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. A response to how the proposed code amendment conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. Amendment to Existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) A CUP is currently in place for the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse. An amendment to reflect the proposed re-development and use of the new facility is proposed. Historically the Clubhouse building has been an accessory use to the golf course (cart storage, lockers, food and beverage, pro shop, offices, etc.), has been used by the Vail Nordic Center during winter months and as a facility to host banquets, parties and other functions. The later use has occurred in the existing bar/restaurant area. When used for banquets and other functions the capacity of the bar/restaurant area has been approximately 120 people. While this space has been used for these purposes for many years the existing CUP includes no specific parameters regarding this use of the building. Proposed uses for the Clubhouse are the same as how the building has historically been used - the Golf Course will utilize the facility in the summer, the Nordic Center in the winder and throughout the year the building will be used for banquets and other functions. While uses remain the same, significant upgrades will be made to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. A dedicated space for banquets and other functions with a capacity of 200 people is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant (intended primarily to serve golfers), improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 7 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP improved lockers, circulation, restrooms, etc. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the facility and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the building. The CUP includes two main elements – the Development Plan (comprehensive design drawings of the proposed building and site improvements and an Operations/Management Plan (a document outlining how the facility will be used and managed). The CUP also includes a diagram defining the area covered by the CUP (see below). This area includes the Clubhouse building, parking lot and the immediately surrounding area. Improvements planned for the Clubhouse are located within this area and commitments or obligations outlined in the Operations Plan pertain to this area. Below is a summary of the Development Plan and the Operations/Management Plan. Development Plan In accordance with submittal requirements for a CUP, a Development Plan for the project has been submitted. This plan provides comprehensive information on the design of the building along with site and landscape improvements. Information provided includes building elevations and floor plans, roof plan, site plan, landscape plan, grading plan and lighting plan. The Development Plan has been submitted under separate cover. Development Standards 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 8 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP The proposed building has been designed to conform to all zoning/development standards as outlined in the OR Zone District (assuming the proposed height amendment is approved). Specific information on these standards will be provided as the design package evolves in the coming weeks. Parking requirements for the proposed building can be satisfied with minor expansion and re-organization of the existing parking lot. The following summarizes how parking has been calculated for the facility. The Town’s Zoning Code does not include parking requirements specific to a golf course. As such, parking demand for the course and clubhouse facility has been determined based on the parking that currently exists and then assessing a new parking demand for the expansion or change to any of the parking generating uses within the Clubhouse (i.e. the banquet facility, restaurant and pro shop). In order to meet the Code requirement for parking, an additional 12 spaces have been added to the existing parking lot. It should be understood that this parking, while satisfying code requirements does not address the potential parking impacts of an event being held in the banquet room during peak golf course operations. In these cases a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. This plan will be defined in the Operations and Management Plan for the facility. Operations/Management Plan There are currently no parameters or limitations on how the Clubhouse can be used for banquets and other functions. It is recognized that operational parameters do need to be 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Re-development 9 Re-zoning/Code Amendment/CUP established in order to minimize any potential impacts of the facility on the immediate neighborhood. The Vail Recreation District is currently preparing an Operations and Management Plan for the facility. It is anticipated that this plan will address topic such as lighting, hours of operation, amplified sound, and parking management. This plan will be an important element of the CUP and it is expected that it will be incorporated into any final approval for the project. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed CUP are as follows: 1. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 2. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. 3. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facility’s needs. 4. The effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking area. 5. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. A response to how the proposed CUP conforms to these review criteria will be provided in updates to this application prior to formal PEC hearings. Information on each of the three applications will be updated in the coming weeks in response to input received from the PEC, Town Council and community. 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 rCEUW -E' OCT 17 ZU IZ J TOWN OFVAIL October 17, 2012 Sunburst Drive Homeowners c/o Sam Maslak 1979 Sunburst Drive Vail, CO81657 Planning and Environmental Commission Town of Vail 75 S. FrontageRoad West Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Vail Golf Course Clubhouse andl 8th Hole/Zoning and Conditional Use Permit Dear Planning and EnvironmentalCommission (PEC): As you are aware, the Town of Vail plans toenlarge the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, move the 18thgreen of the golf course, destroy portions of the 18th hole fairway, and use the entire area as a revenue- and tourism-generating events center. You may also be aware that a number of us—as neighbors who own homes adjacent to or near the Vail Golf Course—have filed a lawsuit to prevent the Town from proceeding with its current plans. To meet its goals, the Town has sought to amend the conditional use permit (CUP) it received in 1986 to expand it in both sizeand scope. It also seeks to amendthe zone district to change the golf course parking lot from a GeneralUse District to an Outdoor Recreation District. Finally, it seeks to amend the zoning for the clubhouse to allow it to increase the clubhouse's height. As citizens and property owners of Vail, we feel it is important for the PECto be aware of our position regarding the Town's requests. We do not oppose changing the parking lot from a General Use District to an Outdoor Recreation District. We also take no position at this time on the Town's attemptto change zoning relating to height requirements because it is still unclear exactly what the Town will seek (although we reservethe right to opposethe Town's plans in the future once they become more clear). We oppose, however, the Town's request toamend the Conditional Use Permit to allow it to move forward with its proposed changes to the clubhouse, the 18thgreen, and the 18th hole fairway. While wesupport the effort to improve the clubhouse, we cannot permit the plan to convert the clubhouse and neighboring area to an event center in violation of the reasonable expectations of the neighborhood, the voters who approved the use of convention center funds for clubhouse improvements, and the golf community. Numerouscitizens have raised objections and issues with the Town Council regarding the proposed changes to the golf course and its clubhouse, indicating that the Town's current plans 1 5/7/2013 are unacceptable. Despite this,the Town has refused to address the citizens' concerns or to change its plans in any meaningful way. The issues are numerous and are so intertwined with the Town's current proposals that the only way for the Town to address them is to abandonits current course altogether and begin anew with plans to renovate and update the golf course clubhouse within its existing footprint and without moving the 18thgreen. That was what the Town Council members promised was their intent, that is what the voters approved, and that is what the Vail Golf Course neighbors, citizens of Vail, and golfers support and deserve. Reasons for Opposing the Town's Plans and Application to Amend the CUP We opposethe Town's current plan for the following reasons: 1. Development of Program Without Timely Neighborhood, Golfer, orOther Involvement. The Town failed to engagethe neighborhood and many others effectively during the development of its plan for conversion of the 18th hole and the clubhouse until after their plans were fully and privately developed. Even the first notices circulated to the neighborhood, in connection with a PEC meeting held on May 14, 2012, were misleading. They referred to the clubhouse" only and notto the area around the clubhouse, the 18thgreen, or the 18th fairway, all of which the Town has, from the beginning, intended to change. Only after two neighborhood owners realized the impact of the program did the rest of the owners in the neighborhood around the Golf Course realize how vast the Town's plans were. By that time,the Town had already traveled so far down itsintended paththat it either could not or would not changecourse. It adopted an inflexible position and largely ignored the opinions and opposition of the golf course neighbors, the golfing community, and even some of the members of the Vail Recreation District ("VRD"). 2.Size/Capacity of Project. The material the Town created and circulated on 5±' October 8, 2012 clearly indicates that the Town intends to createan event center with an indoor banquet room"that can accommodate 200 seats (and presumably at least that many people). The Plan also provides for an outdoor events area that will accommodate as many as 500 people. Finally, the CUP the Town seeks is approximately eight times as large as the CUP it received in 1986, which covered only the existing clubhouse footprint. It also is an expansion in scope, since the current CUP does not even mention"events" or"banquets" and provides for a meeting room of only 506 square feet. The floor plans the Town distributed indicate that the banquet room will be 2,728 square feet and the outdoor patio area will be an additional 2,750 square feet. A pre-convene space tied to the banquet room will be 756 square feet. Finally, a"banquet lawn" to the south of the covered patio will add an additional 5,000 square feet. The total space for holding events at the golf course clubhouse will thus total approximately 11,234 square feet. And that does not take into account the CUP's expansion to include the current 18th greenand portions of the fairway. 2 5/7/2013 By contrast, the pro shopand golfer grille will total only 2,812square feet. These numbers leave no doubtthat the planned facility will be a large and substantialevent center with coincidental golf space ratherthan a golf clubhouse that also occasionally serves other community functions, which the November 2011 ballot question indicated was the Town's intent. 3. Orientation of Any Event Activity Area. Because the golf course neighbors' homes sit east and south of the clubhouse, the Town's current plans will maximize the nuisance to the neighborhood. The Town intends to configure the new events center so that all banquets and outdoor activities occur to the south and east of the clubhouse. Special events held in this area in the past havebeen disruptive to the neighborhood and have forced neighbors to call the police. Rather thandevelop a plan that would reducethe likelihood of such problems, the Town has instead proposed plans that will increase them substantially, both in number and in physical scope. At least one member of the community proposed a potential alternative plan that would have amelioratedmany of the golf course neighbors' concerns. The Town refused even to acknowledge thatproposal, and weeks aftertheyreceived it, some members of the Town Council admittedthey did not even review it. 4. Parking, Congestion, and Safety Issues. The Town intends to increase the parking lot capacity by roughly 11%. Although the Town has represented that it no longer desires—as it originally planned—to replace the 18th green with additional parking, it is unlikely that the Town will be able to host thetypes of events it contemplates without increasing parking capacity and further deteriorating the quality of the golf course. The CUP the Town seeks will allow it to increase the parking lot's size or add other parking at a later date. Moreover,the Town's plans are subject to the requirements of the PEC andthe Design Review Board, which could render the commitment of no furtherparking expansionmeaningless if neither the PEC nor the DRB will permit the Town's dramatic expansion plans without significant additional parking. In addition, the Town's plans raiseserious safety and congestion concerns. According to itsplans, events scheduled at the clubhouse may begin as early as 4 P.M. At that time, golfers will still be on thecourseand their cars in the parking lot, which will not have the capacity for both golfer vehicles and event attendee vehicles. The result will be individuals parking along the shoulder of Sunburst Drive, which creates hazards for emergency vehicles trying to access the neighborhood, as well as severe congestion for the residents and substantial risk to the bikers and runners who use Sunburst. In sum, there is no way the Town can implement its plans without either expanding the parking lot into the 18th green or creating serious congestion and safety issues. 3 5/7/2013 5.Destruction of 18th Fairway and Green. The Town currently planstoshorten the18th fairway and move the18th hole east of the clubhouse, converting the current 18thgreen into a putting/practice green that could also host large tent events. Only aftervoters raised concerns did the Town invent a number of safety concerns in an attempt to justify the move. These safety concerns, which were never mentioned in connection with the proposal to spend convention center funds on thisproject, are nothing morethan a smokescreen that will allow the Town to proceed with cutting off the western third of the18th hole, all for the purpose of raising revenue for itself through the event center. Even if the Town's "no additionalparking" commitment were credible, there is simply no way of knowing how the Town will use that property if it receives the CUP it is requesting, both now and in the future. The uncertainty regarding how the Town intends to use the 18th green will serve asa perpetual cloud over the neighboring properties and will significantly reduce the value of neighboring homes. 6. Noise. The Town's plans will create noise that will serve as a nuisance to all homeownersalong the18th fairway and current 18th greenand in the adjoining townhomes. Indeed, the expansive use of the facility as a revenue-producing events center raisesthe following concerns regarding noise: a.Orientation of activities. The Town's current proposals place activitiesin the one location that will maximize the noise nuisance to the homeowners. b.Lack of effectivecontrol. The Town has shown an inability to control the noise level of events held in the modest space already at the clubhouse, even whenneighbors complain. If the Town succeeds in creating an event 1 center of the magnitude it is proposing, the impact on the neighborhood will be severe. When the windows and doors are opened, the building itself will act as an amphitheater, magnifying the volume of events held there. Music, crowd, and traffic noise will cause a diminution in value of the neighbors' homes. c.Hours of operation. The Town plans to allow music to continue at the new events center until midnight each night and activities may continueto 2:00 A.M.. The attendees likely will notall leave until some time after that. Such late hours will prevent those in the neighborhood from experiencing any peace and quiet at a late evening hour, something many of the homeowners relied on havingwhenthey purchased their properties. d.Estimates suggest the center will host more than 100 events per year, and the number could be substantially more than that. 4 5/7/2013 7. Lighting. Lighting associated with evening activities will be a nuisance to the neighborhood in several respects. Because lightingfor outside activities will most likely be affixed to the building, it will shine toward theresidences, creating a continuing glare. Any lighting sufficient to illuminate the outdoor banquet areas will almost certainly be bright enough to illuminate the adjoining properties as well. And because lighting will be necessary beyond the periodwhen events occur, as people are leaving to their vehicles, it will be a problem well past midnight, resulting in an aggravated impact on the neighboring residences. 8. Erratic Behavior and Lack of Law Enforcement. During past social gatherings at the clubhouse, which were much smaller than that which the Town is proposing to host, the conduct of attendees has often been out of control, resulting in safety issues and disturbance to the neighborhood. And calls to law enforcement havebeen ineffective. Larger events designed to be outside will only increase such activity. 9. Tents. The CUP the Town is seeking will allow it to use the18th fairway and the 18thgreen as a venueto raise large tents under which they can host affairs even larger than those contemplated for the events center itself Such a use will only exacerbate the issues we have already raised, including noise, lighting, and unruly behavior, and will create opportunities for other nuisances and torts, such as trespasses onto the residentialproperties. The information the Town has circulated indicatesthat the Town will prohibit private parties from using tents but that the Vail Recreation District may still use tents for special public events. The issues we have raised, however, are as much a concern for public functions as they are for private ones. Moreover, the Town could change its policy in the future to allow tents for private events. 10. Reconfiguration of Driving Range Nets. The Town insists on increasing the height of the driving range nets, which will distractgolfers, tourists, motorists along I-70, bikers, and others attempting to enjoy the scenery. No valid reason exists for reconfiguring the driving range nets, especially if the Town abandons its plan to move the18thgreen. The movement of thegreen is what places golfers in danger. The Town's current plan is forcing it to spend large sums of moneyto address safety concerns that would not exist if the Town would simply reconsider its current course of action. 11. Lack of Buffer to Protect Residences. Whatever activities occur at the current parking lot, the current clubhouse site, or at the current location of the 18th fairway and green, the impacts onthe neighborhood will be significant. There is simply no way to buffer the homeowners from the activities. At Donovan Pavilion, the nearest residence to the building is approximately twice the distance as is thenearest residenceon Sunburst Drive to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. In addition, at Donovan, Gore Creek and a wide and dense growth of evergreen trees shield the nearby residences. If thisproject goes forward in any manner other than by simply creating a quality golf course clubhouse with no significant event facility, the 5 5/7/2013 neighborhood residences will experience substantial reduction in value and will require increased protection from both parkingactivities and event functions. 12. Uncertainty Regarding Zoning and Development Plans. Because of the broad options available under the zoningregulations, if the PECwere to grant the Town's requested changes to the CUP, the Town would have broad flexibility regarding how to use the clubhouse, the18th green, and the18th fairway. This is especially true because the Town refuses to be bound by any of the proposals it has put forth to the PEC. The uncertainty regarding how the Town intendsto use the property prevents the residents of the adjoining properties from the normal use of their residences, decreases the property and resale value of the golf course neighbors' homes and properties, andleaves open the possibility that the Town will, at a later time, use the property for purposes other than those it now identifies. 13. GeneralConsiderations. In addition to the issues identified above, the following more generalconcerns also warrant consideration: a.the events center will likely compete with a number of local businesses; b.given other event centers that are existing or soon coming on-line, the Townsimply does not need another event center orwedding venue; c.the Townwould spend far toomuch on this project, draining its reserves and committing future revenues, which will result in less funding to be available for Ford Park improvements and other Town priorities; d.many or all homes and townhomes along Sunburst Drive will lose substantial value, which could result in additional costs to the Town for this project; and e.the operation of the proposed center would be a money-losing proposition, but if the Town were to abandon its plan and limit itself to renovating the clubhouse only within its existing footprint, it could save millions of dollars, which should make the project an operational and financial success. Requested Actions Werequest that the PECdeny the Town's requesttoamend the CUP, which needs no amendments to renovate the golf course clubhouse within its current footprint, as the Town promised was its intent. The Town never mentioned to the voters of Vail its intent to move the 6 5/7/2013 18th green or to expand the events capacity of the clubhouse in such a dramaticfashion. As long as it intends to do so, we request that the PEC deny the Town's application. The Town must develop the golf course clubhouse in a way that fits within the existing footprint andmeetsthe needs of the entire community, not the demands of a few special interest groups.

I have asked that any owners with comments, please send them to me to send or for them to send it directly themselves. I was going to put on the email to send to you all directly but I didn't get a response back that I saw of what email addresses. For that reason I will forward them as they come through and will cc the owner themselves so that you can see that I did not alter their email. I will send all of them both positive and negative as I encouraged them to express their feelings themselves and not rely only upon management and the Boards etcetera to convey their thoughts. I noted that some people (particularly people that rent) may feel differently than the Board as a whole and that if they are supportive they too should chime in on their opinions. I don't know if they will because I worry that everyone is on overkill with all this but I hope that they will do so. I wasn't comfortable forwarding emails that they sent to me previously because I didn't know how to properly convey the message because they often forwarded other comments from other people in their email stream and those comments out of context may have been hard to understand etcetera. In other words, I asked them to do a free standing letter that they write themselves about their feelings about the project. I cannot be sure that they read what I sent with all the emails we send now on the subject but I tried. I have gotten much positive feedback from owners seeing that the applications to the PEe are now not trying to change the zoning to general use. That has had very positive feedback. Several people have also expressed that if there has to be an "event venue" or banquet room for events, then they are glad to see that they are pursuing the operating agreement although a couple that have read it says they feel it still needs work in areas. They are glad to see the prohibitions against tents, no amplifiers etcetera as positive components. I have not received any positive feedback from any homeowners on holding regular events at this location although there may be some people that rent that feel positive about it but they have not expressed such. Only a handful of people that I am aware currently rent in these townhomes. Maybe the email I sent out saying to express both positive and negative feedback and I did indicate that people who rent may be more inclined towards the idea of a venue for events (as it may help with rentals). Please add the below email to feedback and I will forward more in the future. Please send me the best emails to send this feedback. Thank you. 1 5/7/2013 ----------Forwarded message --------- From: alvaro garcia de Quevedo <aquevedo@notaria55.com> Date: Wed, Oct 10,2012 at 1:48 PM Subject: To Whom it May Concern To: Malia Cox Nobrega <malia@crossroadsvail.com> As neighbors of Sunburst Drive (Unit 24Vail Golfcourse Townhomes) we are concerned about the plans for the golf course area. The TOV has most of the time been assertive in the upgrades made in order to generate more value to Vail property owners. I am concerned that our neighborhood could be transformed into an event venue place where traffic, noise, alcohol and other inconvenients may arise. We do not want to become the "bad place" to live. We don't want other people making money on new venues while diminishing the general property area. Upgrades are always welcome but keeping in mind that our neighborhood is a place where not only neighbors, but Vail residents make outdoor activities (golf, running, cycling, etc.). We have been owners in the golf course area since 1981, although we live abroad we are regular visitors to Vail both in winter and summer seasons. Any proposal to the golf course area must have in mind ABOVE ALL that the benefits have to be for the neighborhood, not for the visitors that will go to a party event in a new venue.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. 1 5/7/2013 I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner.II I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn 2 5/7/2013 out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

Thank you. ----------Forwarded message --------- From: <DANDJHALL@aol.com> Date: Mon, Oct 15,2012 at 9:25 AM Subject: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN To: malia@crossroadsvail.com I own a condo in the Vail Townhome Golf Course area--Unit J-32. I've been an owner since the late 80s and always have enjoyed having close access to the Vail Golf Course. I am a golfer and I really hate to see the 18th hole shortened. I do feel it will make the course too easy and won't appeal to players as much. I also think there's a good chance that the owners near the hole will sue if the 18th hole is changed, which will greatly delay the renovation and increase costs. I think the golf shop/pro shop area and restaurant have long been in need of an upgrade, but I'm not at all in favor of adding an event venue. I know those who are interested in the latter, say there will be no parking problems, but I find that very hard to believe. Are they only thinking of having the venue open for evening events?? A capacity of some 200 in the event facility would at the very least need 100 parking spaces--where will they be located? Will they then have to allow parking on Sunburst Drive? I'm also concerned with the possible noise factor. One reason I bought in this area instead of Vail Village or Beaver Creek was because it was quiet and a bit off the beaten track. I am also completely against the idea of changing the space to general use zoning. I'm sorry I couldn't be present to voice my concerns in person.

The TOV has most of the time been assertive in the upgrades made in order to generate more value to Vail property owners. I am concerned that our neighborhood could be transformed into an event venue place where traffic, noise, alcohol and other inconvenients may arise. We do not want to become the "bad place" to live. We don't want other people making money on new venues while diminishing the general property area. Upgrades are always welcome but keeping in mind that our neighborhood is a place where not only neighbors, but Vail residents make outdoor activities (golf, running, cycling, etc.). We have been owners in the golf course area since 1981, although we live abroad we are regular visitors to Vail both in winter and summer seasons. Any proposal to the golf course area must have in mind ABOVE ALL that the benefits have to be for the neighborhood, not for the visitors that will go to a party event in a new venue.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns. parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely 2 5/7/2013 I impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how irnportant this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. 'realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course T own homes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at 3 5/7/2013 trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

We bought it because it was more of a neighborhood community and out of the hustle and bustle of Vail proper. It certainly seems that, with 150 events, this will no longer be a somewhat quiet neighborhood. Further, the summer brings a terrific number of bikers utilizing the access to the bike trail, and events will likely raise the opportunity for a bike / car accident.

Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 **Order and times of agenda items are subject to change** MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT Susan Bird Luke Cartin Pam Hopkins Michael Kurz Bill Pierce Henry Pratt John Rediker 20 minutes 1. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-16- 10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House (i.e. accessory buildings, permanent and temporary, and uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional outdoor recreational uses, and necessary for the operation thereof, including restrooms, drinking fountains, bleachers, concessions, storage buildings, and similar uses), located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and Unplatted Parcels (a complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community Development Department Office), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120036) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) Bill Pierce recused himself from items 1, 2, and 3 on the agenda due to conflict of interest. He disclosed that he is the architect for the temporary clubhouse buildings project and is a member of the Fall Ridge home owners association that has voiced its support for the clubhouse remodel. Commissioner Pratt disclosed that he has had previous clients that are involved in the law suit, but he has not been in contact with them nor has any financial interest in these applications. Therefore, he will participate in the hearings for these applications. Commissioner Hopkins disclosed that she is currently working on the Vail Library renovation which is a Town project. Matt Mire, Town Attorney, asked Pam Hopkins if she had any financial interest in these applications. Commissioner Hopkins stated that she does not have any financial interest in these applications, she can be impartial, and will participate in the hearing of these application. Bill Gibson provided an overview of the applications and the desired outcomes of the hearing today. Tom Braun, Braun and Associates, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the existing and proposed uses in the club house, the applications that have been submitted, and 5/7/2013 Page 2 the plan documents that will be submitted. Pedro Campos, Zehren and Associates, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the site and design as contemplated. He added that his presentation would include a highlight of those areas that have been addressed in order to respond to neighbor concerns. He discussed the various elements of the proposal including the clubhouse building and patio, parking lot, driving range netting, golf skills teaching area in the current location of the 18th green, etc. Tom Braun concluded the presentation by highlighting the request for a conditional use permit to apply to a defined area adjacent to the club house. He covered the items he expects to provide within an anticipated operational plan in conjunction with the conditional use permit. He provided an image depicting the allowable and proposed building height. He discussed parking for the proposed uses and an anticipated parking management plan for the facility. Commissioner Kurz stated that he felt the bus turn around would be beneficial for what he believes will be an increase in shuttle traffic to the site. He felt that an increase in building height is appropriate. He asked what makes this facility so unique that notification would be sent to adjacent property owners about events when notice is not sent to neighbors about events held at Donovan pavilion? He clarified that what is being proposed does not appear to be an event center, but instead it appears to be a banquet room similar to those found at other golf courses. Commissioner Bird recommended adding a seating area on the western elevation of the building for the Nordic users. Commissioner Rediker asked what other properties in town are currently zoned Outdoor Recreation District. He wants to understand the potential impacts of uniformly increasing building height in this zone district and the impacts of amending height by a different method. Bill Gibson identified some of the other properties currently zoned Outdoor Recreation District and stated that a map of all the properties in this district would be provided at a future hearing. Commissioner Cartin agreed with Commissioner Redikers concerns about understanding the impacts to other properties if building height was amended in the Outdoor Recreation District. He asked about the potential of rezoning other portions of the golf course that are currently not zoned Outdoor Recreation District. He requested that the proposed outdoor lighting details also be presented at a future hearing. Commissioner Pratt asked for the background on how the applicant arrived at the proposed 200 person banquet size? Tom Braun stated that it was a function of many variables including recommendations from the recreation sub-committee. He noted that a 200 person banquet room could accommodate most cocktail parties and weddings. Commissioner Pratt noted concerns that the banquet room of the clubhouse, plus pre-function areas, plus the patio and lawn areas could accommodate a stand-up event much larger than 200 people. Tom Braun noted that these are all one combined use area and are not intended as cumulative use areas. Bill Gibson entered the additional written public comment received after publication of the staff memorandum into the record. 5/7/2013 Page 3 Commissioner Pratt asked that a digital copy of this additional public comment be emailed to the Commissioners. Sam Maslak, resident of Sunburst Drive, stated that he believes the project is a massive increase in scale that is out of proportion. He highlighted the incompatibility of the proposal with the neighborhood since there will be a five-fold increase in meeting room space size. Additionally, today the meeting room is only used occasionally, but it will be used four times per week as proposed. He is concerned that this project will result in tents, bleachers, and port-a- potties outside the clubhouse. He is concerned that the additional 11 parking spaces being proposed will not be enough. He noted that the current parking is insufficient and today the lot is full. Gretchen Busse resident of Sunburst Drive and representing various Golf Course Townhome owners, stated that it was felt that the increase in activity was inappropriate. She supports a new clubhouse, Nordic center, and grill; but the proposal expands and embellishes the clubhouse too much. She inquired as to where the snow would be stored on the site. She noted that parking on the south end of the parking lot is too close to existing houses. Pedro Campos noted that snow management and removal would be addressed. Gretchen Busse identified concerns about traffic and noise and current parking overflow. She highlighted safety concerns when parking occurs on Sunburst Drive. She expressed concern about changes to the plans for the 18th green from an event pavilion, to a parking lot, and now to a putting area on the site. What assurance does she have that the 18th green will be preserved. Art Abplanalp, attorney representing ten (10) property owners stated that his clients support a remodel of the club house, but that is not what is being proposed. He provided a comparison of existing meeting room areas and the proposed increases. He believes this proposal is for an event center with a golf shop and not for a golf course clubhouse. He spoke to why he believes the conditional use permit does apply to the 18th green. If the 18th green is relocated, he believes a blank check would be given to the Town Council for a future pavilion if a conditional use permit includes an area adjacent to the club house. His clients believe the parking lot rezoning is appropriate, the text amendment for height could be appropriate if it does not result in an additional building story, but more details are needed. He recommended the any additional building height only apply to roof elements or should only apply to golf course clubhouses. He referenced that 80 golfers and homeowners object and have sent the town letters. His clients object to a conditional use permit that will turn the golf club house into a mini Donovan Park Pavilion. He suggested a redesign to have the banquet facility to the north side of the building above the existing cart barn so it will be further from the residential neighbors. The objections of the community and a proposed alternative plan submitted by the neighbors have not yet been responded to by the applicant. He noted his clients concerns about the existing overflow parking and what will occur if events with 200 people are allowed. He does not believe these guests will take buses or shuttles. He asked that the Planning and Environmental Commission send a message to the Town Council regarding the promises made prior to the election and to look at the project again to ensure to that there will be a world class golf course clubhouse and not an accessory to an event center. Joe Batcheller, resident of a Golf Course Townhomes inquired as to improvements in the plan for pedestrian and bicycle user in the area. He suggested that a separate sidewalk, striped bike lane, shared bicycle markings, and methods for controlling vehicular speeds. He also asked what the logic was behind keeping the existing building and foundation. He compared saving the existing foundation to putting a new Lexus on top of an old Pinto chassis. 5/7/2013 Page 4 Laurie Mullen, member of the Vail Economic Council and Vail Local Marketing District, and owner of West Vail Liquor Mart noted that the proposed clubhouse will serve the same purposes as it does today, but with an upgraded building. She stated that the proposed remodel will better serve locals and visitors, and requested that the Commission not allow a few neighbors to block the project. She stated that hole 18 is not iconic, instead what is iconic is the view of the Gore Range from the clubhouse. Skip Thurnaurer, Vail Local Marketing District, spoke to the use of the conference center fund to meet the initial goal of the tax which was to increase stays and visitation in Vail. Use of the conference center funds to renovate the clubhouse was the first choice of their members. He noted that the existing clubhouse is not of the world class of Vail and an improved aesthetic will be good in general and good for the neighbors. Alfred Montano, representing 1925 Sunburst Drive, read a letter from the property owner Rufino Vigil outlining his objection to the relocation of the 18th green and converting the clubhouse into an event center. The letter was made a part of the record. Tom Braun, spoke to the numerous community open houses and Town Council work sessions which have involved the public. He noted that the applicant has made efforts to address comments that have been heard, but it may just be that the solutions are not acceptable to the neighbors. He spoke to several specific questions raised. He clarified that the retaining wall and parking spaces on the south end of the parking lot exist today. He said they will speak to the reasoning for locating the banquet room and patio on the south side of the building and not above the existing cart barn at a later hearing. He spoke to the ability of the applicant to remove the defined conditional use permit area as it was felt that it addressed a concern of the neighbors and would clearly define the impacts of the uses being proposed. Commissioner Kurz spoke to his concern about the neighbors feeling they haven’t been involved in the process, even though public input has been allowed and continues to be allowed. He supports expanding the conditional use permit area outside the building. The parking management plan will be important, and as a biker of Sunburst Drive, he understands the traffic concerns that have been raised. Commissioner Rediker believes the proposed conditional use permit area provides the additional control on the operation of the clubhouse that this project warrants. He likes the idea of a parking management plan and spoke to making shuttles a requirement for certain events and uses. He spoke to the additional information that is needed for considering any building height increases. He supports the amendment of the conditional use permit to achieve the goals of the project. Commissioner Bird stated that she agreed with Commissioner Rediker. She stated that parking is a concern and spoke to how overflow skier parking in this lot disrupts Nordic and event parking. Commissioner Hopkins, stated that this is her first presentation project and she added that she believes it is important for the Commission to balance the concerns of neighbors and take into account negative impacts to property values. With regard to the conditional use permit can the owners bring forward suggestions on noise, lighting, hours, etc. to make the project a better neighbor? She asked if the clubhouse patio gets adequate west sunlight for wedding events. She asked why the existing building foundation was being saved and why the 18th green was being relocated. She agrees with the concerns about bicycles and traffic, and asked if an alternative bike path route was available. 5/7/2013 Page 5 Commissioner Cartin agreed with the concerns raised about pedestrians and bicycles. He commented that the relocation of the 18th green is separate from the clubhouse remodel. The relocation of the 18th is under the purview of the Vail Recreation District and not a matter for the Commission. He supports rezoning the parking lot to the Outdoor Recreation District. The upcoming operations plan and parking management plan are his key concerns. Commissioner Kurz commented that is was good to hear Laurie Mullen’s perspective during public comment. He spoke to the increased revenue from the project and a project such as this will be beneficial to providing continued high level of services. He reminded everyone that this is a public golf course and not a private country club, there are no county club rights associated with the houses along the golf course, and the golf course needs to be managed for the benefit of the whole town. Commissioner Pratt noted that the proposed parking lot configuration appears well thought out. He respects the concerns of the neighbors and stated that it appears suspicious that the 18th green is being relocated which raises concerns that tents will be put there in the future. He believes rezoning the parking lot is a no-brainer. He does not believe the increase in building height should be zone district wide, but instead should be limited in scope. The height should be kept low and 33 feet should not be expected because the neighboring residential allows 33 feet. He is concerned about providing adequate parking and increasing the landscaping buffer between the parking lot and the first home adjacent. He is also concerned about bike and traffic. He also concerned that requiring the use of shuttles for events will not be very guest friendly. 20 minutes 2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a zone district boundary amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for a rezoning of the Vail Golf Course parking lot from the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District, located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120037) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) 20 minutes 3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to Section 12-8B-7, Height, Vail Town Code, to increase the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120039) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to November 12, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-1 (Pierce recused) 45 minutes 4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, to require restoration of watercourses and riparian areas, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120011) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Rachel Dimond ACTION: Recommendation of approval with modifications 5/7/2013 Page 6 MOTION: Rediker SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-1-0 (Pierce opposed) 1. That the proposed language be modified to reflect the changes discussed in the public hearing and made as a part of the motion. The applicant shall forward the revised language to the Vail Town Council. Rachel gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. She discussed the challenges of having private improvements removed from public land. The proposed language provides staff an additional tool to get improvements removed and restoration of public property. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the impacts of properties some distance from the creek that drain to the creek. He was supportive of the proposed language and suggested becoming more aggressive. He added that it appears there needs to bigger hammers provided to staff to affect the changes. That placement of the creek on the impaired stream list was a flair gun not a red flag that something needs to be done. Commissioner Rediker agrees with Kurz and believes that there needs to be greater language to allow the Town to go after violators of public property. Maybe the language should be expanded to tents on property or property needing a building permit but not Design Review application. He made a suggestion regarding the addition of language in subsection A referencing D that the addition of landscaping on public property is not except from Design Review approval. Commissioner Bird agrees with Kurz and Rediker. She inquired as to the town’s ability to enforce these regulations on those portions of the stream located outside the Town boundaries such as in Intermountain. Rachel Dimond responded that those portions of stream not within the Town boundaries are under Eagle County jurisdiction and their regulations. She added that in the past the Town has called the County to bring their attention to concerns and they have typically been addressed. Commissioner Pratt stated that this applies only to town-owned stream tract. He also inquired as to the dated for the effect of a one-time exclusion. Rachel Dimond clarified the one-time exclusion and added that it does not apply to an application on a property with stream tract encroachments. Commissioner Cartin thinks this is a good first step, but future regulations need teeth to cause changes resulting in improved the stream health. Commissioner Hopkins had nothing to add. There was no public comment. Commissioner Rediker made a motion with modifications Commissioner Pierce spoke to the impact of a singular unit wanting a window in an HOA and the need to take corrective action before anyone can make an improvement. This was his reason for voting in opposition as he felt that a single owner should not need to take the corrective action. Warren Campbell reminded the Commission that an application by a single unit owner in a multi- family development had the H.O.A. as a joint applicant. 5 minutes 5/7/2013 Page 7 5.

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Town of Vail, is proposing to renovate the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. This proposal involves three development applications subject to Planning and Environmental Commission review: • Zone district boundary amendment to rezone the golf course parking lot from the General Use (GU) District to the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. • Prescribed regulation amendments to allow building heights of up to 33 feet for sloping roofs in the Outdoor Recreation (OR) District. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 • Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. ZONE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AMENDMENT The applicant is proposing a zone district boundary amendment to rezone Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 from the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District. Lot 3 includes a portion of the existing golf course parking lot and is zoned General Use District. The adjacent areas of the Vail Golf Course, including the clubhouse and the remainder of the parking lot, are zoned Outdoor Recreation District. This proposal consolidates the clubhouse and parking lot areas of the golf course into one zone district. PRESCRIBED REGULATION AMENDMENT The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable building height limit within the Outdoor Recreation District through amendments to Section 12-8B-7, Height, Vail Town Code. Based upon the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the applicant is proposing the following amendment (text to be added is in bold): “12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course club houses, for a flat or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty feet (30’'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’).” CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT As identified in the applicant’s request (Attachment B), the proposed golf course clubhouse renovation involves numerous project elements including the following: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 4 • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” To clarify, the three subject development applications have no bearing on whether the existing 18th hole will be realigned/reconfigured or if the Hole #18 green or tee boxes will be relocated. The decision to move Hole #18 was made by the property owner, the Vail Town Council, based upon safety concerns and other factors not relevant to the three development applications before the Planning and Environmental Commission. A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant’s request (Attachment B), applicant’s response to PEC questions from the October 22nd hearing (Attachment C), the proposed rezoning map (Attachment D), Outdoor Recreation District Map (Attachment E), Management and Operations Plan (Attachment F), proposed plans (Attachment G), traffic report (Attachment H), preliminary drainage report (Attachment I) photographs (Attachment J), and written public comment received since the Commission’s October 22nd hearing (Attachment K) have been attached for review and inclusion in the record. III. BACKGROUND The Vail Golf Course was constructed under Eagle County jurisdiction in the 1960’s. In 1972, the subject portions of the Vail Golf Course (clubhouse and parking lot sites) were annexed into the Town of Vail through Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1972. While it is not clear from the Town’s archives, the golf course clubhouse site appears to have been subsequently zoned Agriculture District. In 1973, the Town of Vail approved a final plat for the Sunburst at Vail Subdivision which included the golf course parking lot property. On August 7, 1973, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1973, which established comprehensive zoning regulations for the Town of Vail. In establishing comprehensive regulations, this ordinance created 12 new zone districts including the Agriculture and Open Space District. The golf course clubhouse was site subsequently rezoned to the Agriculture and Open Space District. This ordinance also established Special Development District No. 1 for the “Sunburst Development”, which included the golf course parking lot property. On August 16, 1977, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1977, which rezoned the golf course parking lot property from Special Development District No. 1 to the Public Use District. On September 14, 1977, the Town of Vail approved the Sunburst Filing 2 plat which established the golf course parking lot property as Lot 3. On December 20, 1977, the 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 5 Town of Vail approved the final plat for Sunburst Filing 3, a re-subdivision of Sunburst Filing 2. In January of 1984, the Town of Vail purchased the Vail Golf Course property from the Pulis Ranch. On October 4, 1994, the Town of Vail adopted Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1994. In part, this ordinance repealed the Public Use District and reestablished it as the General Use District. This ordinance also established a new zone district named the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 7, 1995, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1995, which rezoned 67 properties to the Natural Area Preservation District, Outdoor Recreation District, or General Use District. Portions of the Vail Golf Course were rezoned from the Agriculture and Open Space District to the new Outdoor Recreation District. This ordinance also amended the Outdoor Recreation District to allow “golf course” as a permitted use. In 2000, the Vail Jr. Hockey Association, Vail Recreation District, and Town of Vail proposed constructing a seasonal ice rink at the Vail Golf Course driving range. To facilitate construction of the proposed seasonal ice rink, three development applications were submitted: minor subdivision, rezoning, and a conditional use permit. On September 25, 2000, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat to subdivide the golf course clubhouse and driving range sites into a new Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision and a conditional use permit for the construction of a seasonal ice rink. The Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed rezoning of the clubhouse and driving range from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. On April 17, 2001, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2001, to rezone the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision from Outdoor Recreation District to the General Use District. Adjacent property owners opposed to the seasonal ice rink subsequently filed an appeal of the ice rink approvals. A court decision on the appeal nullified the rezoning of the golf course club house and driving range due to procedural errors. The merits of the rezoning were not reviewed by the court. The Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Subdivision final plat was not executed and recorded within the one-year timeframe prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission, so the Commission’s approval of the plat expired. Rather than pursuing the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse and driving range further, the Vail Jr. Hockey Associated, Vail Recreation District, and Town of Vail chose instead to propose amendments to the Outdoor Recreation District to allow the seasonal ice rink at the golf course driving range. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 6 On October 14, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional use permit for the seasonal ice rink contingent upon the Vail Town Council’s approval of amendments of the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 5, 2002, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 29, Series of 2002, which allowed a “seasonal use or structure” as a conditional use in the Outdoor Recreation District. On November 8, 2011, the Town of Vail electorate approved ballot question #1 which stated: “Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements?” On April 16, 2012, the Town of Vail (golf course property owner), in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District (golf course operator), submitted a final plat application and a rezoning application intended to facilitate future renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election. On May 14, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a final plat creating the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse Parcel and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the rezoning of the golf course clubhouse site from Outdoor Recreation District to General Use District. Based upon subsequent public input, the applicant has withdrawn those applications. Prior to submitting new development applications for renovating the Vail Golf Course clubhouse, the Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District held multiple public hearings and community open houses to obtain additional public input on a variety of golf course related issues and proposals, including: a re-zoning process for the site, proposed parameters for use of temporary tents on the clubhouse site, possible uses for the existing 18th green following realignment of the hole, parking lot access, netting for the driving range, clubhouse remodel design, including site layout, landscaping, circulation, floor plans and elevations, etc. On September 24, 2012, the Town of Vail, in cooperation with the Vail Recreation District, submitted the subject zone district boundary amendment, prescribed regulation 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 7 amendments, and conditional use permit amendment applications to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse. On October 11, 2012, the Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District were notified of a complaint filed by adjacent property owners in Eagle County District Court alleging the golf course renovation project violates an existing covenant on the golf course property, among other claims. At this time, the lawsuit does not prevent the Planning and Environmental Commission’s review of the three submitted development applications. On October 22, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to discuss the three submitted applications. The applicant introduced the golf course clubhouse project, public testimony was heard, the Commission asked questions of the applicant, and the public hearing was continued to this meeting. At its November 7, 2012, public hearing the Design Review Board held a conceptual review of the proposed clubhouse renovation. The applicant introduced the golf course clubhouse project, public testimony was heard, the Board asked questions of the applicant. The following is a summary of the conceptual comments from the Design Review Board: • The Board was generally complimentary of the building design direction and the proposed landscaping plan. • The clubhouse should have traditional, mountain architecture detailing; rather than contemporary, mountain architecture detailing. • There needs to be are consistent architectural theme among all the golf course buildings. • The proposed primary roof ridge should be “broken up” with a ridgeline step, dormer, architectural projection, or some other method. • The north elevation of the clubhouse building should be more decorative. • Exterior signage should be considered at this time and not at the end of the project design development. • The vehicle entrance should be visually enhanced to reduce confusion about which driveway should be used to enter the site. • Electric power should be incorporated into the landscape plan to facilitate the lighting of a “holiday tree” or trees.

The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows: 1. General Growth / Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 9 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2. Skier / Tourist Concerns 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.

REVIEW CRITERIA ZONE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AMENDMENT Before acting on a zone district boundary amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this proposal: 1. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town. The proposed rezoning is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re- allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Golf Course parking lot is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan and zoned General Use District. The adjacent portions of the Vail Golf Course are also designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan, but zoned Outdoor Recreation District. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 18 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the following general and specific purposes of the Town’s adopted Zoning Regulations: 12-1-2: Purpose: A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 19 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed rezoning to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District identified in Section 12-8B-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 2. The extent to which the zone district amendment is suitable with the existing and potential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted planning documents. A “golf course” is allowed as a permitted use in the Outdoor Recreation District and as a conditional use in the General Use District. The proposed rezoning continues to allow the existing golf course parking lot on the subject site. The existing golf course parking lot can be expanded or modified under both the existing and proposed zoning. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 20 Staff finds that the proposed rezoning of the subject property will not alter the suitability of the existing golf course parking lot on the site or with surrounding use. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 3. The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal development objectives. Staff believes the existing golf course parking lot currently has a harmonious, convenient, and workable relationship among land uses in the surrounding neighborhood. Staff does not believe the proposed rezoning of the subject property will alter this relationship. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 4. The extent to which the zone district amendment provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests of the community as a whole. The majority of the Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan and zoned Outdoor Recreation District. The applicant is proposing that the golf course parking lot be zoned the same district as the adjacent golf course areas. Therefore, Staff does not believe the applicant’s proposal constitutes a spot zoning and therefore finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 5. The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the natural environment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features. The existing golf course parking lot may continue and may be expanded or modified under both the existing and proposed zoning. Staff finds that rezoning of this property from the General Use District to the Outdoor Recreation District will not alter the impacts on the natural environment in comparison to existing conditions. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 6. The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with the purpose statement of the proposed zone district. As identified above, Staff finds that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District as outlined in Section V of this memorandum. Therefore, Staff believes the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 7. The extent to which the zone district amendment demonstrates how conditions have changed since the zoning designation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 21 As further described in Section III, Background, of this memorandum, the subject golf course parking lot (Lot 3) was originally an element of the Sunburst development and separated from the golf course by a proposed street. Sunburst Drive was subsequently realigned and Lot 3, along with some residential lots located to the southeast, became adjacent to the golf course and separated from the majority of the Sunburst development. While part of the Sunburst development, Lot 3 was zoned as part of Special Development District #1 and then rezoned to the Public Use District. The Public Use District was subsequently amended and renamed the General Use District. Staff finds that it is necessary to zone the golf course parking lot the same district as the adjacent golf course areas (including the clubhouse) to achieve the efficient and effective implementation of the Town’s zoning regulations. Staff finds that the zoning of these two golf course areas as different zone districts to no longer be appropriate. 8. Such other factors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed rezoning. PRESCRIBED REGULATION AMENDMENT Before acting on a prescribed regulation amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to this proposal: 1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and The proposed text amendment is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the following general and specific purposes of the Town’s adopted Zoning Regulations: 12-1-2: Purpose: A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 22 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District identified in Section 12-8B-1, Purpose, Vail Town Code: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed rezoning meets this review criterion. 2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and The proposed text amendment is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re-allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 23 The applicant is proposing an increase in the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District for golf course clubhouses. The subject Vail Golf Course in the only golf course in town and the subject clubhouse is the golf course clubhouse in Vail. The existing clubhouse building is constructed to the current maximum building height of 24 feet. The existing building height and existing height limits of the Outdoor Recreation District limit the design options for renovating the existing building. The proposed height limits would provide additional flexibility in renovating the existing clubhouse building. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment will better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town. The Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed prescribed regulation amendment to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 24 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Therefore, Staff believes that this proposal complies with this criterion. 3. The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and The applicant is proposing an increase in the allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District for golf course clubhouses. The subject Vail Golf Course in the only golf course in town and the subject clubhouse is the golf course clubhouse in Vail. The existing clubhouse building is at the current maximum building height of 24 feet. The existing building height and existing height limits of the Outdoor Recreation District limit the design options for renovating the existing building. The proposed height limits would provide additional flexibility in renovating the existing clubhouse building. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment is consistent with this criterion. 4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and The proposed allowable building height within the Outdoor Recreation District that is limited in scope to golf course clubhouses. At this time, the amendment would not affect any other Outdoor Recreation District zoned property, since the subject clubhouse is the only golf course clubhouse at the only golf course in Vail. The proposed building height limits are the same as those applied to the adjacent residential houses along Sunburst Drive which are zoned Two-Family Primary/Secondary District and Special Development District #24. Staff finds that the proposed increase in height will not alter the building bulk and scale of the existing clubhouse to a degree inconsistent with the existing character of the building or neighborhood. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendment is consistent with this criterion. 5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 25 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit is intended to facilitate renovations to the Vail Golf Course clubhouse building in response to the 2011 election in which the Vail electorate re-allocated conference center funds specifically for the “expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space” which Staff finds consistent with the development objectives of the Town. Staff finds that the proposed conditional use permit amendments maintain the historic uses of the clubhouse and surrounding grounds for golf, Nordic, and banquet, wedding, community event activities and operations. Staff also finds that the proposed conditional use permit amendments will facilitate the updating and upgrading of the aged, existing clubhouse facility to be more in keeping with the Town of Vail’s stated vision and mission: “Our Vision - To be the Premier Mountain Resort Community! Our Mission - We will provide the citizens of Vail and our guests superior services, outstanding environmental stewardship and an abundance of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities.” The Vail Golf Course is designated as Park by the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent the purpose of the Park land use designation: P – Parks: Included in this category are town owned parcels intended for both active recreation activities such as athletic fields, golf courses and playgrounds, as well as areas for various passive recreation activities. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent with the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan: 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (in fill areas). 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 26 2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a destination resort while accommodating day visitors. 2.4 The community should improve summer recreational options to improve year- round tourism. 2.5 The community should non-skier recreational options to improve year-round tourism. 6.1 Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3 Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods.

General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 27 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. Staff finds the proposed amendment to an existing conditional use permit to be consistent with the purpose of the Outdoor Recreation District: “Section 12-8B-1: Purpose The outdoor recreation district is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses.” Staff also finds the proposed amendments to a conditional use permit to be consistent with the purposes of Chapter 12-16, Conditional Use Permit, Vail Town Code. Section 12-16-1: Purpose; Limitations: In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development between conditional uses and surrounding properties in the Town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the Town and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be denied. Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendments to an existing conditional use permit meet this review criterion. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 28 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. The proposed amendments to the conditional use permit will allow for the construction of updates and improvements to the subject public recreation facilities. As further identified in the applicant’s request, the proposed renovation of the Vail Golf Course clubhouse includes: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” As part of this conditional use permit amendment proposal, the applicant is proposing a management and operations plans (Attachment F). Staff finds that the proposed management and operations plans minimizes any negative impacts of this proposal on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff also finds that the proposed management and operations plan minimizes impacts of this proposal on neighboring property owners. The proposed management and operations plan addresses the following elements: • Golfer grill and patio • Banquet room, banquet patio, and banquet lawn • Tents • Golf cart access and flow • Parking and parking management • Lighting 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 29 • Noise and amplified sound • Hours of operation • Use of the old 18th green • Neighbor notification and liaison • Approval process and amendments to the plan Staff finds the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit, along with the restrictions imposed by the management and operations plan are consistent with this review criterion. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. The proposed amendment to a conditional use permit includes modifications to the golf course traffic patterns and upgrades to the configuration and design of the parking lot. These modifications will better accommodate and delineate vehicular arrival and access, patron drop-off, bus maneuvering, trash pickup, delivery access, and emergency vehicle staging than the existing conditions. The existing bus stop along Sunburst Drive will be maintained. Additionally, the existing driveway curb-cuts will also be maintained, rather than being relocated to the south, not create additional conflicts between vehicular traffic and pedestrian/bicycle traffic along Sunburst Drive. The proposed management and operations plan addresses both parking lot snow storage/removal and parking management to improve the functionality of the golf course parking lot compared to existing conditions. The proposed management and operations plan includes the following parking management elements: • Scheduling • Employee parking • Parking lot attendant • Valet parking • Shuttles The traffic study of the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit (Attachment H) concludes that: “Based on road capacity standards. Sunburst Drive in its existing condition is capable of accommodating the potential traffic increase from the proposed remodeling of the Vail Golf Course Club House.” Therefore, Staff finds the proposed amendments to the conditional use permit, along with the restrictions imposed by the management and operations plan are consistent with this review criterion. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 30 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The proposed amendments to the conditional use permit will facilitate the remodel of the existing aged and worn Vail Golf Course clubhouse building and grounds. As a remodel utilizing an existing building foundation, the location of the clubhouse building and its general bulk and mass are similar to existing conditions. Staff finds the proposed amendment to a conditional use permit is consistent with the scale and bulk, architectural style, and aesthetic character of the surrounding uses. As identified elsewhere in this memorandum and in the applicant’s proposal, this proposal includes numerous upgrades to the existing clubhouse: • “Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses. • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget.” Staff finds that these updates and upgrades to the existing facilities will have a positive impact on the character of surrounding area consistent with this criterion. The applicant is proposed a management and operations plan addresses the following elements: • Golfer grill and patio • Banquet room, banquet patio, and banquet lawn • Tents 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 31 • Golf cart access and flow • Parking and parking management • Lighting • Noise and amplified sound • Hours of operation • Use of the old 18th green • Neighbor notification and liaison • Approval process and amendments to the plan Staff finds that the various elements of the proposed management and operations plan will further minimize any negative effects upon the neighboring property owners and the character of surrounding area consistent with this criterion.

While no changes will be made to existing uses that have been in place at the Club House for the past forty years, the remodel will make significant upgrades to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. A dedicated space for banquets and other functions is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant, improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and improved lockers, circulation, restrooms. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the Club House and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the Club House. The following information is provided below: • Project Introduction, • Approach to design of project, • Applications submitted, • Background on the Club House and this proposal, and • Development applications. This application has been submitted on behalf of the Public Works Department of the Town of Vail in conjunction with participation of the Vail Recreation District (VRD). PROJECT INTRODUCTION In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. In the fall of 2011, voters endorsed the use of Conference Center funds for three projects – Golf Course Club House improvements, improvements to the Ford Amphitheater and improvements to Ford Park. Specific improvements for each of these projects were defined in response to the underlying goals articulated in the 2011 ballot language: 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 2 Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements? The main improvements envisioned for the Club House included a new, dedicated Banquet Room and a number of other improvements to the Club House that would significantly improve nordic and golf course operations and the overall aesthetics and guest experience of those who use the Club House. APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT At a very general level, the following vision statement for the project has played a major role in design decisions over the past months: “… to design a facility that broadens the appeal of golf and nordic facilities while expanding the opportunities for year around use, by creating a unique and special sense of place that is aligned with guest expectations for a world class destination resort . . .” This broad vision statement has influenced the overall direction of the project design. However, many other factors including but not limited to the development program, operations, existing conditions and the overall characteristics of the site have directly influenced the team’s approach to project design. A plan set of proposed improvements has been submitted under separate cover. Specific parameters used in the project design included: • Dedicated Banquet Room with a capacity for 200 people, • Pre-convene space sufficient to support the Banquet Room, • The common areas, restrooms, elevator and stairs to be shared throughout the building, however there will be separate entrances for the Banquet Room and the recreation uses, 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 3 • A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space, • A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate “warming kitchen” space for the Banquet Room, • Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space at the parking lot level, • Project design that provides for both winter and summer use to a finished quality expected for Vail guests, • The separation of uses and enhancement of circulation throughout site and within the building, • Location of golf course finish area on the east side of the building in order to encourage golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop, • Clarification of circulation and entry on the front side of the building, • Maintain approximate existing building square footages while increasing the efficiency and functionality of the building, • Two-story tall (4 level) building, and • Reuse of as much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain the original project budget. APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED Three related development applications are proposed in order to facilitate the remodel of the Club House. These include: 1. Rezoning a portion of the Club House area from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR), 2. A text amendment to the OR District to increase allowable building height for golf course club houses from 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof) to 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof), and 3. Amendment to existing Conditional Use Permit to allow for modifications to the Club House. The PEC’s review of this project will involve one or more public hearings, the purpose of which will be to introduce the project, address the PEC and the public’s initial questions and comments, scope potential issues and get other input on the project, and eventually, PEC action. BACKGROUND ON THE CLUB HOUSE AND THIS PROPOSAL Following an election in the fall of 2011 in which voters endorsed a reallocation of a portion of Conference Center Funds to the Club House project, the Town assembled a project team and design work on project began earlier this year. Since that time the team has held numerous meetings with the Town Council and the Recreation Sub-Committee to define the scope of the project and to review progress on the design of the project. In July a neighborhood meeting was held at the Club House to gather input from the public regarding issues and concerns with the project. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 4 This past summer and early fall the project team held a series of public work sessions with the Town Council. The focus of these work sessions was to discuss all aspects of the project, specifically dealing with neighborhood issues/concerns and potential alternatives for how the zoning, project design and operation of the modified Club House can address neighborhood concerns. In 1986 a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of the Club House was approved by the PEC. Main elements of the ’86 expansion was new golf cart storage, expansion of the bar/dining area, a new meeting room and an expanded kitchen. The Club House has not seen any significant upgrades since the ’86 expansion. The Vail Golf Course is located on portions of Vail Village Filing 7, Vail Village Filing 8 and on a number of unplatted parcels. The existing Club House is located on a +/-90 acre unplatted parcel that is zoned Outdoor Recreation (OR). An area generally encompassing the Club House parking lot is located on Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and is currently zoned General Use (GU). In both districts “golf courses” are a permitted use and “accessory buildings” (i.e. the Club House) are a conditional use. As such, an amendment to the current CUP is necessary in order to allow for the planned remodeling of the Club House. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS The following summarizes the three development applications proposed for the Vail Golf Course Club House project. Rezoning of Parking Lot from General Use (GU) to Outdoor Recreation (OR) Currently the Club House area is zoned two different zone districts. The parking lot is zoned GU while the Club House building and immediately surrounding area is zoned OR. Having what is essentially one development site zoned two different zone districts creates an awkward situation and this rezoning request is proposed in large part to remedy this existing situation. Either the OR or GU district could provide a suitable and workable zoning for the golf course Club House area. Based in large part on input from the community, the GU portion of the Club House area is proposed to be rezoned to OR. Many residents in the golf course neighborhood expressed concern with the board range of land uses that could be proposed under GU zoning. In response to this concern the proposed rezoning would designate the entire Club House area as OR. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed change to zone district are as follows: 1. How the proposed change in district boundaries is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 5 Response The change in district boundaries is proposed in large part to resolve the existing condition of the club house area being zoned two different zone districts. Either the GU district or the OR district can provide a zone designation suitable for the operation of the golf course and the club house. The purpose of the change to district boundaries is to eliminate confusion inherent in both zone districts being in place. 2. How the proposed change in district boundaries is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. Response Either the GU or the OR district could provide a zone designation suitable for the operation of the golf course and Club House. The proposal to rezone the GU portion of the Club House area to OR is proposed specifically in response to neighborhood concerns with the wide range of potential uses that could be proposed under GU zoning. As such, the rezoning is proposed specifically to ensure compatibility and a suitable relationship to adjacent uses and properties. 3. How the proposed change in district boundaries is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Response The proposed rezoning to OR will establish a zoning mechanism that includes permissible uses and other development controls that will allow for the ongoing operation of the Golf Course and Club House which furthers the health, welfare and safety of the entire community. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 6 Outdoor Recreation Zone District - Building Height Code Amendment The OR district currently limits building height to 21’ (flat roof) and 24’ (sloping roof). Simply stated, this height limitation creates a significant design constraint in creating a quality interior space within any golf course club house, including this Club House. This limitation is also the most restrictive height limitation of any zone district within the Town. In order to establish a building height that will allow for the design of an appropriate, quality golf course club house, a code amendment to allow for building height of 30’ (flat roof) and 33’ (sloping roof) is proposed. The following text amendment is proposed to section 12-8B-7 of the Outdoor Recreation zone district of the Vail Town Code: 12-8B-7: HEIGHT: For a flat roof or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty one feet (21'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed twenty four feet (24'). For golf course club houses, for a flat or mansard roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty feet (30’'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not exceed thirty-three feet (33’). The rationale for this text amendment is as follows: • The 21’/24’ building height limit in the OR District is the most restrictive height limitation in any zone district. • The 21’/24’ building height does not provide sufficient height to create quality interior spaces. • As proposed, the amendment would allow building height of 30’/33’ for a “golf course club house” only, which effectively limits this height increase from being utilized on other OR zoned properties which do not have a golf course club house. • The 30’/33’ building height proposed for golf course club houses is consistent with allowable building heights on other similar buildings in the Town. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed amendment to the zoning code are as follows: 1. How the proposed amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the Town of Vail’s development objectives. Response The proposed amendment would establish some consistency with how other properties in the vicinity are treated and also allow building height sufficient to create a well-designed, quality golf course club house. 2. How the proposed amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the area. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 7 Response Though the text amendment would apply generally to all districts zoned OR with a golf course club house, currently, only this property has a golf course club house. As it relates to this property, the proposed text amendment would allow for building heights that are consistent with allowable building height of properties in the vicinity of this Club House. As such, the scale of buildings at this Club House would be in keeping with those of the surrounding neighborhood. 3. How the proposed amendment is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Response The proposed text amendment would allow for building heights sufficient to design and construct a well-designed, quality golf course club house, which promotes recreation, tourism and the economy of the Town of Vail, which in turn is in the best interest of the public health, welfare and safety. Amendment to Existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) A CUP is currently in place for the Vail Golf Course Club House. An amendment to this CUP is proposed to allow for the remodeling of the Club House. Historically the Club House has been an accessory use to the golf course during summer months (cart storage, lockers, food and beverage, pro shop, offices, etc.), and has been used by the Vail Nordic Center during winter months. Throughout the year the Club House has traditionally been used to host banquets, parties and other functions, a use that is very common in golf course club houses throughout the county. When used for banquets and other functions the bar/restaurant area has a seated capacity of approximately 120 people. While this space has been used for these purposes for many years, the existing CUP includes no specific parameters or controls regarding this use of the Club House. Proposed uses for the Club House are the same as how the building has historically been used - the Golf Course will utilize the Club House in the summer, the Nordic Center will utilize the Club House in the winter and throughout the year the Banquet Room in the Club House will be used for banquets and other functions. With this remodel, the uses in the Club House will remain the same, however significant upgrades will be made to the building and to the overall guest experience of its users. The Banquet Room, a dedicated space for banquets and other functions with a capacity of 200 people, is the most significant change to the building. Other improvements include a new bar/restaurant (intended primarily to serve golfers), improved spaces for the pro shop and nordic operations, expanded golf cart storage, and improved lockers, circulation and 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 8 restrooms. The building and site design will dramatically improve the sense of arrival to the Club House and is also designed to better organize uses and where necessary separate the various users of the building. The CUP includes two main elements – the Development Plan (comprehensive design drawings of the proposed building and site improvements and a Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan (Operations Plan), a document outlining how the Club House will be used and managed. The CUP also includes a diagram defining the area covered by the CUP (see below). This area includes the Club House, parking lot and the immediately surrounding area. Improvements planned for the Club House are located within this area and commitments or obligations outlined in the proposed Operations Plan pertain to this area. Below is a summary of the Development Plan and the Operations/Management Plan. Development Plan In accordance with submittal requirements for a CUP, a Development Plan for the project has been submitted. This plan provides comprehensive information on the design of the building and site/landscape improvements. Information provided includes building elevations and floor plans, roof plan, site plan, landscape plan, grading plan and lighting plan. The Development Plan has been submitted under separate cover. The proposed building and site improvements have been designed to conform to all zoning/development standards as outlined in the OR Zone District (assuming the 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 9 proposed height amendment is approved). The following table summarizes these standards: Standard Minimum Proposed Lot Area/Site Dimensions N/A 91.76 acres (1) Setbacks 20’ (all sides) 38’ front 510’ side 203’side Building Height (2) 30’/33’ 33’ Density N/A Site Coverage 5% of site area, or 197,631SF (3) 23,510SF .006% Landscape Area Determined by DRB (4) Parking 122 spaces 124 spaces (1) Includes unplatted parcel (90.75 ac) and Lot 3 (1.01 ac) (2) Indicates proposed OR building height via text amendment, existing building height limitation is 21’/24’ (3) Figure reflects 5% of acreage of unplatted tract on which the Club House is located (4) Landscape area of Lot 3 and the unplatted tract is estimated to be 98% Parking requirements for the proposed Club House can be satisfied with minor expansion and re-organization of the existing parking lot. The following summarizes how parking has been calculated for the Club House. The Town’s Zoning Code does not include parking requirements specific to a golf course. As such, parking demand for the course and Club House has been determined based on the parking that currently exists and then assessing a new parking demand for the expansion or change to any of the parking generating uses within the Club House (i.e. the Banquet Room, restaurant and pro shop). 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 10 In order to meet the Code requirement for parking, an additional 14 spaces have been added to the existing parking lot. This has been accomplished with minor refinement and re-organization of the parking lot. There is a slight reduction to the overall size of the parking lot. The existing parking lot includes only 750SF of interior landscaped area, the proposed parking lot includes 2,000SF of interior landscaped area. It should be understood that this parking, while satisfying code requirements, does not address the potential parking impacts of an event being held in the Banquet Room during peak golf course operations. In these cases, a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. Potential parking management measures that may be implemented include moving employee parking off-site, employing a valet program, and using shuttles to transport patrons of the Banquet Room to and from the Club House. This plan is an element of the Management and Operations Plan for the Club House, a copy of which has been submitted under separate cover. It is the intention of the applicant that upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 11 Management and Operations Plan The existing Club House has been used for banquets, parties and other functions for the past forty years. However, there are currently no parameters or limitations on how the Club House can be used for these purposes. It is recognized that operational parameters do need to be established in order to minimize any potential impacts of the Club House on the immediate neighborhood. By way of example, the proposed Operations Plan will address topics such as hours of operation, lighting and noise. The VRD has been directly involved in the preparation of the proposed Operations Plan for the Club House. This plan is considered to be a key element of the CUP and it is expected that it will be incorporated into any final approval for the project. A copy of the proposed Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan has been submitted under separate cover. Criteria to be used in evaluation of a proposed CUP are as follows: 1. Describe the precise nature of the proposed use and measures proposed to make the use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 12 Response The uses proposed by this amendment to the existing CUP are the same as the uses that have taken place in the building for many years. A notable change to existing conditions is the creation of a dedicated room for banquets and other functions – the Banquet Room. The existing room can accommodate +/-120 people and the new Banquet Room will have a maximum capacity of 200 people. To ensure compatibility with other properties in the vicinity, a number of management and operational parameters are included in the proposed Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan. This Plan addresses use of the building, hours of operations, tents, parking management, noise/amplified sound, use of the previous 18th green area and neighborhood relations. 2. The relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. Response In 2011 the Vail Town Council took steps to re-allocate Conference Center funds to other Town projects. The underlying goal of this effort was to utilize the approximately $9.4 million on projects that would “increase overall economic vitality” throughout the Town and among other things have the potential to increase occupancy, have the potential to increase sales tax growth as a result of the investment and enhance the experience for those who live, work and play in Vail. The purpose of the project is directly in keeping with the Town’s development objectives. 3. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facility’s needs. Response The project will enhance golf and nordic skiing operations and also create new community space that can be used for a variety of public needs. Improvements to the existing parking lot will improve operational aspects of the Town’s bus system that services the Golf Course neighborhood. 4. The effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking area. Response The larger, dedicated Banquet Room within the Club House will allow for larger groups and more frequent functions within the Banquet Room. This will result in increased traffic on Sunburst Drive. However, this 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 13 incremental increase in traffic is not significant when compared to background traffic in the neighborhood generated by existing residences, the golf course/nordic center itself and the existing banquet functions that occur at the Club House. Sunburst Drive has the capacity to accommodate increased traffic volume from the proposed CUP. Striped bicycle lanes currently exist along both side of Sunburst Drive from its intersection with Vail Valley Drive to just beyond the Club House. Parking for the golf course and the proposed CUP will be provided within the golf course parking lot. The existing lot will be increased in size by 12 spaces in order to provide the number of parking as prescribed by the Vail Town Code. It should be noted that this parking, while satisfying code requirements, does not address the potential parking impacts of a function being held in the banquet room during peak golf course operations. In these cases a Parking Management Plan will be implemented. By way of example, potential parking management measures that may be implemented include moving employee parking off-site, employing a valet program, and using shuttles to transport patrons of the Banquet Room to and from the Club House. This plan is an element of the proposed Management and Operations Plan for the Club House, a copy of which has been submitted under separate cover. It is the intention of the applicant that upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. 5. The effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Response The scale of the improved Club House proposed is in keeping with the scale of buildings in the surrounding area. With a dedicated Banquet Room for banquets and other functions, the frequency and size of functions hosted in the building will likely increase from what has occurred in the recent past. In response to this and to minimize the potential for negative effects from the proposed use on surrounding uses, a Management and Operations Plan has been proposed. This Plan addresses use of the building, hours of operations, tents, parking management, noise/amplified sound, use of the previous 18th green area and neighborhood relations. Other than the Vail Town Code, there are currently no parameters governing the use of the existing facility. 5/7/2013 MEMORANDUM To: Bill Gibson From: Tom Braun CC: Greg Hall Date: November 6, 2012 RE: Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel As per your request, the following is in response to questions and comment you have provided from the October 22 °a PEC hearing. Provide a comparison of the Donovan Pavilion and the Banquet Room proposed for the Club House. The Donovan Pavilion web page indicates the total SF of the facility to be 5,200 SF (the main, large room is + /- 3200SF) and that the Pavilion is capable of accommodating 250 people for weddings and sit -down dinners, 350 people for receptions and 300 people using theater seating. An additional 100 -120 people can be accommodated on the outdoor patio. The Banquet Room proposed for the Club House is 2,728 SF and the capacity of the room is proposed to be limited to200 people. The Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn are available for use inconjunction with the Banquet Room; however this does not change the200 person capacity limitation. Provide an overlayshowing the layout of the existing conditions /18`h green compared to the proposed clubhouse and practice green. An overlay of the 18th green and the existing and proposed building is found at the end of this memo. Provide a traffic report. A traffic and parking analysis has been submitted to the Public Works Department. Provide additional outdoor seating areas for Nordics users. The designteam is looking at potentiallocations for outdoor seating. This will likely occur in areas that will be used by the nordic center in the winter and the golf course in the summer. As such, it is anticipated thatseating will be portable and that the type, amount and location of outdoor seating will ultimately be determined by the golf course and nordic centeroperators and ultimately be addressed at final DRB review. Can overflow day skier parking be controlled to not displace Nordic users? 5/7/2013 Yes, the PublicWorks Department managesthe Golf Course parking lot. In winter months first priority is to ensure ample parking for the nordic center. The availability for day skier parking in this lot (if any) varies throughout the year as determined byPublic Works. It is anticipated that once construction of this project begins that day skier parking at the golf course will be eliminated. Why is the existing foundation being saved? From the outset of the project this has been considered a "remodel" and the approach to the design effort has been to utilize as much of the existing building as reasonably possible while still addressing other project goals. The design team believesthat the re- use of the foundation will proveto be a cost effective approach. Does the proposed patio have enough sunlight to accommodate evening wedding events? Dependingupon the time of year and time of day the Banquet Room Patio will get sunlight. Obviously at some point each day the Club House will cast a shadowon the patio. Can the landscape buffer be increased to the south of the parkinglot. The existing parkinglot extends to the south end of Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3. A 4' to 6' retaining wall is located immediately adjacentto the parking lot. Based on a survey found while researching townfiles it appears that the retaining wall is located on the adjoining residential lot (presumably done to create a "fill" situation for lawn adjacent the home). Remodel plans for the Club House do notcontemplate making any changes to this wall. While the Vail Town Code stipulates that the perimeter of parking lots include a10' landscape buffer, the existingparking lot is an existing, non - conforming condition and section 12 -18 -2 Continuance allows for such non - conforming conditions to remain. Introducing a buffer in this area would significantly reduce the number of parking spaces that can be provided within the lot. Remodel plans for the Club House do not contemplatechanging this portion of the parking lot. You also highlighted public comments made at this hearing and inquired as to whether the proposal has been modified to address any of these comments. Below are the comments /questions that have been addressed by the proposal thus far: No pavilion, no tents, etc. The developmentplansubmitted for this project has never included a "pavilion ". Temporary placement of tents is addressed in the Management and Operations Plan (tents are only permitted with town approval via the Special Events or Conditional Use process. 2 5/7/2013 2. 18" greenareashouldn'tbe included in the CUP area. Contrary to opinions expressed by the public, the applicant believesthat defining a "CUP Area" provides a means of establishingcontrols for the operation of the Club House. By way of example, neighbors expressed concern over how the 181h green area could be used in the future. A commitment has been made by the applicant to maintainthis area as a practice /teaching green (a use many neighbors said wasacceptable) and the "CUP Area" was drawn to include this area so it can be incorporated into the CUP approval. It is notedthat the majority of the PEC agreed with this approach. 3. Construct or stripe bike lanes, add share -o markings, etc. along Sunburst Drive to address potential bike /pedestrianand vehicle conflicts. Striped bike lanes currently exist from the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst Drive. The Public Works Department agrees to signs informing motorists and bicyclist of these lanes. 4. Inadequate parking today and as proposed. The Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan outlines parameters for when functions held at the Banquet Room will necessitate implementation of a Parking Management Plan. While not specifically raised during public comment at the October 22 °a hearing, a number of changes have beenmade to the Club House proposal in direct response to concernsraised by the public. These include: Review Process — Due to concerns raised with rezoning being proposed prior to submittal of a development plan, this past summer the applicant withdrew the rezoning application agreed to submit a combinedrezoning/development application. GeneralUse Zone District — In response to concerns with the broad range of potential land uses permitted by the GU district, there- zoning proposal was modified to rezoning the club house are to Outdoor Recreation. Parking lot on 18th green — Early design concepts for the project includes a new parking lot where the 18th green is currently located. This idea was eliminated from consideration. New Accessto parking lot — Early designconcepts included shifting access points to the parking lot to the south. In response toconcerns of neighbors this idea has been deleted. Refinementsto Parking Lot — Maintaining existing landscaping along the west and east sides of the parkinglot was a primary consideration in the design of the parkinglot. All trees along the west side of the lot will be maintained and only ten trees are expected to be removed from the east side of the lot. 5/7/2013 Future use of 181h Green area — In response to uncertainty as to how this area might be used in the future, the Club House Management and Operations Plan stipulates that this area is to be used in the future as a teaching and practice green. Size /Capacity of Banquet Room /Impacts of Use on Neighborhood — A maximum capacity for the Banquet Room has been set at 200 persons (this is inclusive of the patio and lawn areas). The Club House Management and OperationsPlanincludes a number of parameters (lighting, hours of operation, noise, etc.) intended to minimize impacts of the Club House on the surrounding neighborhood. Significant amounts of new landscaping are proposed south of the Club House and around the 18th green in order to provide a buffer to immediate neighbors. 4 5/7/2013 5 5/7/2013 ! ! ! !

The Plan is an element of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application that has been submitted to the Town, the purpose of which is to facilitate the remodeling of the Club House. Upon approval of the CUP the commitments and obligations outlined in the Plan will be binding on the operators of the Club House. For the last 40 years the Vail Golf Club and Nordic Center has successfully operated the Club House hosting numerous social events and public functions without a formal management and operations plan. It is the intention of this Plan to document how the Club House will be operated with specific measures intended to minimize the impacts of the Club House on the immediate neighborhood and in doing so provide the community with a clear understanding of how the Club House will operate. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 2 Vail Golf Course Club House The Clubhouse includes the following primary uses: Golf Pro Shop Nordic Center Support Offices Golfer Grille and deck Banquet Room/Banquet Patio/Banquet Lawn Lockers/Restrooms/Circulation/Storage Cart Barn The total gross floor area of the building is approximately 21,841 SF. The project site plan and main level floor plan are found below. These plans are provided as a point of reference as they identify specific uses and or features of the Club House that are referenced in this Plan. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 3 Proposed Management and Operations Plan This section outlines how various elements of the Club House will be managed and operated. A. Golfer Grille and Patio The Golfer Grille will be located on the second level and north side of the Club House. The Grille will have an enclosed seating area for approximately 40 persons and outdoor seating for approximately another 25 persons. This space is primarily intended to serve the golfer, however depending on demand the Golfer Grille may also operate in non-golf seasons or may be operated to complement the Nordic Center. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 4 B. Banquet Room, Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn The Banquet Room will be made available to the public as a space for both private functions and for community-oriented activities. Examples of how the room may be used include, but are not limited to banquets, parties, receptions, weddings, lectures, fund-raisers, business meetings and other similar functions. The Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn provide outdoor spaces that can be used in conjunction with the Banquet Room. The maximum number of attendees for functions at the Banquet Room will vary depending upon the type of function and seating arrangement (i.e. table seating, theater seating, etc); however in no instances shall the use of the Banquet Room exceed 200 attendees. C. Tents The temporary placement of tents within the CUP Area shall not be permitted unless specifically approved via the Town of Vail Special Events permit process or the CUP process. D. Golf Cart Access and Flow The golf cart access and flow is being positioned to the north side of the Club House so that golfers and patrons of the Banquet Room are not in conflict. Cart pick up will occur at the northwest side of the building. Golf cart drop off will occur on the northeast side of the Club House. The intent is to provide a seamless experience for the golfer and for other users of the Club House. E. Parking and Parking Management A Parking Management Plan shall be implemented in order to adequately provide for the parking demands of the Club House and specifically the Banquet Room. The underlying goal of the Parking Management Plan will be to ensure that the parking needs associated with the Banquet Room are provided within the golf course parking lot in a manner that does not result in parking on Sunburst Drive. 124 spaces are provided within the Club House parking lot (this includes four spaces in the “drive-through lane). These spaces provide parking in conformance with the Vail Town Code and are considered adequate to meet the typical daily needs of the Golf Course and the Nordic Center. During non-peak periods of the Golf Course and Nordic Center (non-peak periods include both the spring/fall golf seasons and late afternoon and evening hours for both the Golf Course and Nordic Center) the existing parking lot is of sufficient size to accommodate the parking demands of the Banquet Room. At other times during the golf and nordic seasons the 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 5 use of the Banquet Room may necessitate the implementation of one or more measures intended to manage parking needs to ensure that parking does not occur on Sunburst Drive. The VRD will determine the specific parking management measures to be implemented based on the time of year, time of day and the number of participants expected to be utilizing the Banquet Room. In addition, consideration will also be given to other events that may be occurring at the Golf Course or Nordic Center. Collectively, the measures to be implemented will constitute the Parking Management Plan for that event. Elements of the Parking Management Plan may include, but not be limited to: Scheduling - VRD will schedule the use of the Banquet Room so as to not coincide with major events or during periods of peak use of the Golf Course and Nordic Center. Employee Parking – approximately 15 parking spaces can be made available for Banquet Room parking by requiring Golf Course and Banquet Room employees to park off site (at either the Town of Vail Public Works shops or the Golf Course Maintenance Facility). Parking lot attendant – the parking lot may be managed by an attendant prior to and during events at the Banquet Room in order to direct users to appropriate parking areas and ensure proper implementation of the Parking Management Plan. Valet parking – approximately 30 additional parking spaces can be created utilizing a valet parking program. Shuttles – utilizing shuttle vans or buses to transport users of the Banquet Room from local hotels and/or from the Vail Transportation Center or other locations. The Parking Management Plan to be implemented (if any) and the costs associated to implement such measures will be documented in the rental agreement with the user of the Banquet Room. In such cases where a Parking Management Plan is required the rental agreement may also include a parking compliance deposit. This deposit will be held by the VRD and refunded following successful adherence to the Parking Management Plan. In conjunction with any rental of the Banquet Room the VRD will notify the Town of Vail in a timely manner of the date, time and number of participants of the rental and the Parking Management Plan to be implemented. In the event that the Parking Management Plan has not been successful in preventing parking on Sunburst Drive the Town will 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 6 meet with the VRD to understand the circumstances of why the management measures were not successful. The Town of Vail may, at its sole discretion, exercise review/approval authority over Parking Management Plans. The Vail Town Council may meet with the VRD to review operations of the Banquet Room and specifically the performance of the Parking Management Plans. The parking of cars along Sunburst Drive is prohibited, provided however, that the Town of Vail may grant exceptions and allow parking along Sunburst Drive for unique circumstances. Such exceptions may be granted only after review and approval of a permit by the Town of Vail. In such cases road side parking will be managed and controlled by the VRD. No overnight parking will be allowed within the parking lot except for Town or VRD vehicles as may be required from time to time. The parking lot will not be used for golf cart storage. F. Lighting Exterior lighting shall conform to all applicable Town ordinances. Unless necessary for safety or security reasons or as required by building or other codes, all exterior lights will be turned off within one hour after the conclusion of an event at the Banquet Room or one-half hour after the time the Club House closes. Window glass treatments and/or curtains may be used to shield lighting from the interior of the Club House. G. Noise and Amplified Sound All uses and all activities within the Club House, including the Banquet Room, Banquet Patio and Banquet Lawn shall conform to the Town of Vail Noise Ordinance. Ambient music is permitted on the Banquet Patio and the deck of the Golfer Grill. Temporary outdoor amplification of sound on the Banquet Patio or Banquet Lawn is permitted in accordance with the following parameters: 1) amplification for a person speaking to a group or officiating a wedding, ceremony or similar activity, 2) amplification for live music performed during a wedding, ceremony or similar activity, and 3) no amplification of any kind shall occur after 8:00 p.m. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 7 The Banquet Room will be air conditioned so that the windows can be closed to minimize noise from within these areas. All windows of the Banquet Room will be closed at any time amplified music occurs after 8:00 p.m. All users of the Club House will be informed that the Club House is located on a municipal public golf course and within a residential neighborhood and will be required to agree to respect the quiet enjoyment of the neighboring properties in any rental agreement. Appropriate penalties will be put in place by the VRD to ensure groups understand the conditions under which they are using the Club House. Penalties will be clearly provided for in rental agreements and may include revoking a compliance deposit for violating this section. The VRD or catering company will have appropriate staff present to enforce any violations of the rental agreement during the operation of the Banquet Room. H. Hours of Operation Hours of operation for the Club House shall correspond to the normal hours of use for the Golf Course and Nordic Center. Hours of operations for the Banquet Room shall be from 8:00 am to 12:00 am.; provided, however, that exceptions to these hours may be made for holidays (i.e. New Years Eve) and other special events. In such cases the VRD calendar of events shall specifically indicate the hours of the event. In no cases shall use of the Banquet Patio or Banquet Room Lawn by an event be permitted past 10:00 pm. I. Use of Old 18th Green The “old” 18th green shall be used as a practice and teaching green for putting, chipping and golf-related instruction. J. Parking Lot Snow Storage Snow storage for the Club House parking lot will be located at the south end of the parking lot. As deemed necessary by the Department of Public Works, during the course of the winter snow stored in the parking lot may be removed and trucked to a remote location. K. Neighbor Notification and Liaison The VRD will post a calendar of events on its website in order to keep the neighborhood informed of activities at the Club House, including use of the Banquet Room. Notice of events shall include a description of the event, the anticipated number of participants and the hours of the event. 5/7/2013 Vail Golf Course Club House Management and Operations Plan Page 8 The VRD will designate a neighborhood liaison as a point of contact for neighbors who have questions or concerns about the management and operation of the Club House. The Town of Vail and the VRD may meet to review the management of the Club House, to discuss any issues that may have arisen and to discuss potential changes to the management and operation of the Club House. This meeting shall be open to the public. L. Approval Process and Amendments to this Plan This Plan is approved by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission as an element of the CUP for the remodel of the Vail Golf Course Club House. Amendments to this Plan shall be reviewed and approved in accordance with Chapter 16, Conditional Use Permits, of Title 12 Zoning Regulations, of the Vail Town Code. 5/7/2013 VAIL GOLF COURSE CLUB HOUSE Traffic Analysis November 9, 2012 Introduction The purpose of this analysis is to provide an evaluation of the traffic impacts of the proposed re‐model of the Vail Golf Course Club House. The re‐model project involves a relatively small increase to the size of the Club House from 18,667 SF to 21,627 SF. All current uses within the existing Club House will be maintained and no new uses will be added as a result of this re‐ model. A more detailed discussion of the use of the Club House is provided below. Existing Conditions Access to the subject site is provided by Vail Valley Drive/Sunburst Drive (herein referred to as Sunburst Drive). Sunburst Drive is a two‐lane road that dead‐ends approximately ½ mile past the Club House. Bike lanes are striped on both sides of Sunburst Drive from the intersection of Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst to just past the Club House. Between the Frontage Road/Vail Valley Drive intersection to the Club House there is only one stop‐sign controlled intersection (Vail Valley Drive and Sunburst). There are five private driveways that intersect with Sunburst Drive along this same section of roadway. In addition to the Vail Golf Course, Sunburst Drive provides access to approximately 139 residential units and a small amount of office use (in Fall Ridge Condominiums). There are no current traffic counts available for Sunburst Drive. The Vail Golf Course is an 18‐hole public golf course with a driving range, pro shop locker rooms, a 120 seat restaurant/bar and an auxiliary meeting room when combined with the restaurant can seat up to 140 persons for banquet functions. In winter months the Vail Nordic Center operates out of the Club House, however traffic related to the nordic center is significantly less than what is generated by the golf course and as such the focus of this analysis is on the summer use of the Club House. Vail Golf Course Existing Traffic Generation The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation 6th Edition includes trip generation rates for a wide variety of different land uses. These generation rates are based on actual traffic counts and reflect weighted averages for the peak hour of the land use. The ITE 5/7/2013 trip generation rate take into account all trips to the subject land use including employees, deliveries and other uses as listed in the description for each land use. “Golf Course” is a land use (430) in the ITE reference . The description is as follows: “The golf courses contained in the land use include 9, 18, 27, and 36, hole municipal courses and private county clubs. Some clubs have driving ranges and clubhouses with a pro shop and/or restaurant, lounge and banquet facilities.” The Vail Golf Club uses are consistent with the land use description in the ITE manual. Golf courses are a unique land use in terms of estimating trip generation. The following evaluations have been completed in order to estimate existing peak hour trip generation from the Club House. ITE Saturday Peak Hour The ITE trip generation rate for a Saturday PM peak hour is 4.59 trips per hole x 18 holes, or 83 total trips with 49% entering and 51 % exiting. This peak would occur in the early afternoon as verified with Vail Golf Course use numbers. ITE Weekday Peak Hour The ITE trip generation rate for the 4‐6 pm period during weekdays is 2.74 trips per hole x 18 holes or 49 total trips. The ITE PM peak hour trip generation rate is greater than the ITE PM peak hour trip generation rate between the hours of 4pm‐6pm. This trend is similar to the Vail Golf Course as the peak golf course activity times occur during the late morning‐ early afternoon time frame. ITE Manual Saturday Peak Hour ITE Code Land Use Trips per Number Total Total Total Hole of Holes Trips Entering Exiting 49% 51% Golf Course 4.59 188340 42 5/7/2013 PM Peak Hour 4pm‐6pm ITE Code Land Use Trips per Number Total Total Total Hole of Holes Trips Entering Exiting 49% 51% Golf Course 2.74 184924 25 Even though the ITE rate for Golf Course describes the existing and proposed facilities exactly, a comparison analysis is provided here to better under stand the trip generation as it relates to specific operations in Vail At the Vail Golf Course there are shot gun start tournaments where the golf course itself generates a significant amount of traffic in the peak hour. A typical 140 person tournament with a 1.5 person per car average would generate 93 vehicular trips just by itself. Whereas the typical hour of turnover of the golf course is only 48 golfers. At 1.5 persons per car this generates 32 vehicles trips for typical golfer turnover.

The current Golf Clubhouse with a 120 seat restaurant and bar with the additional capacity of the Krueger room provides 140 seat capacity, for sit down functions and the existing capacity for receptions is well over 200 people. There is little data on the average use, but it is assumed to be around 100 people. This would generate an additional number of evening (4pm – 6 pm) peak hour trips calculated as follows: 100 people/3 people per car or 33 vehicle trips for functions. 5/7/2013 This was compared to a known banquet use at the Donovan Park Pavilion. The average function size at this facility is between 140‐150 people of the 250 advertised capacity. Most all functions start within the 4‐6 pm time frame, based on information provided by Donovan Management the arrival of patrons to the facility averages 3 per car, as assumed above. The average wedding party is approximately 140 people with a noted 45 cars in the parking lot. By combing both the typical golfer turnover and estimated banquet use trip the existing peak hour trip generation of the Golf Course and Clubhouse during an event during the hours of 4pm‐6pm is 49 trips for the golf course and 33 trips for the banquet function for a total of 82 trips. This is similar to the ITE rate for Saturday peak of the golf course demand, therefore we believe the more specific comparison assumptions and relations are appropriate. Banquet PM Function Start 4‐6pm Land Use Persons Banquet Total Total Total Per Vehicle Size (Persons) Trips Entering Exiting 100%0% Donovan Park Pavilion 3 1404747 0 Existing Golf Course 3 1003333 0 Proposed Golf Course 3 1304343 0 Net 1010 0 Proposed Conditions/Traffic Generation The remodel includes a new, dedicated banquet room. The banquet room is expected to host a variety of functions, including but not limited to banquets, receptions, parties, lectures and other community events. Occupancy of this room is capped at 200 persons. For the past thirty years to the present time the 120 seat restaurant/bar of the existing Club House along with the Krueger Room has hosted these same functions. As previously stated the capacity of this existing space for sit‐down dinners is 140 people and the existing capacity for receptions is well over 200 people. As such, the “peak event” at the existing Club House could be larger than what could occur in the new banquet room. In the recent past approximately 25 functions per year have been held in the restaurant space. Planners for the remodeled Club House anticipate 60‐70 functions per year in the new banquet room. . So there is an expectation of more frequent functions in the remodeled Club House. Seventy Five percent of all functions will be occurring in the months from May to October. The new banquet room, would cap the peak capacity to 200 persons with an average of events being 130 persons. The 200 peak persons would be equivalent to the current situation. Using the banquet specific trip generation methodology described above for the average peak hour trip generator the calculation would be as follows: 130 persons arriving at a rate of 3 people per car is equal to 43 evening 5/7/2013 (4‐6pm) vehicular trips. The increase in average peak hour traffic demand is the difference between 43 and 33 trips or 10 additional trips in the peak hour during events. A conservative total average evening (4‐6pm)peak hour trip generation of the Golf Course, combining both the ITE rate and an additional banquet room facility, is 49 golf course trips (ITE) plus 43 banquet room function trips or 92 trips. This is an increase of 10 trips over the existing evening (4‐6pm) period. It is also similar to the shot gun start tournament scenario.

The Nordic Center generates significantly less traffic than the golf Course operations and its operation in the winter does not conflict with Golf Course operations, as such was not analyzed any further with regard to peak traffic generation. Bicycle and Pedestrian Traffic The Town’s existing Gore Valley Trail bike path currently runs along this section of Sunburst Drive. It is not expected that the remodel of the Golf Course will add to bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the Gore Valley Trail. It is suggested that “Share the Road” signs be placed on Sunburst Drive to warn motorists of the bicycle traffic. Effect on Local Road System Based on road capacity standards. Sunburst Drive in its existing condition is capable of accommodating the potential traffic increase from the proposed remodeling of the Vail Golf Course Club House.Nordic There are no ITE trip generation rate references for Nordic Centers.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Town of Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Remodel Preliminary Drainage Memo Dear Tom: This letter is to describe the overall drainage concepts that the design team is proposing for the Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Remodel Project. The following concepts are incorporated into our current grading plan and will be confirmed via a formal drainage report as the project progress through the Town approval process: 1. Drainage from the Mountain to the South of the Project Site a) The drainage from the mountainside south of the Project has historically flooded the parking lot for this site. The worst of this flooding has historically occurred during the spring snowmelt runoff. This runoff comes down from the mountainside, crosses underneath Sunburst Drive in twin culverts, runs between the fourth and fifth houses east of the Project parking lot, and then is currently caught by the golf course service road and runs down the service road to the Project parking lot. The intent of our project, is to let this water run underneath the service road by installing culverts under the service road These pipes are currently called out as twin 24” HDPE culverts on Sheet C4.1. MARCIN will confirm these pipe sizes with calculations in the formal Drainage Report. b) Once this water is piped under the service road east of the project parking lot, the intent is to run the water in a newly constructed drainage ditch around the project as depicted on Sheet C4.1. This drainage ditch will be sized in the Drainage Report, but is preliminarily sized as being two feet deep with 4H:1V side slopes and a four foot flat bottom. These slopes will provide the ability to easily mow the ditch while mowing the surrounding golf course. The ditch will have to cross under the golf cart path with culverts and is currently depicted as going underneath one of the proposed driving range nets off the northeast corner of the building. c) As the ditch crosses in front of the north side of the Project, the ditch will pick up stormwater from the parking lot piping system and then the ditch will run northwest across the driving range and flow into the pond north of the driving range tee box. We have the proposed flowline of the ditch at the pond set two feet above the pond water surface elevation to account for two feet of freeboard in the pond. 5/7/2013 _____________________________________________________________________________________ PO Box 1062, Avon Colorado 81620 (970) 748-0274 2. Drainage from the Project Parking Lot and Building Area a) Drainage from the parking lot will be directed to the center of the parking lot and will flow down a valley pan in the center of the parking lot at the natural grade of the parking lot (ranging from 0.9% to 3%). b) At the north of the parking lot, the water will flow into a 2’x3’ valley inlet and the flow down into the drainage swale described above (see 1.c above). c) Three other inlets will catch water from the paved cart area west of the building and will drain into the same pipe system flowing north to the driving range ditch. The northerly inlet will tentatively be a naturalized ‘bioswale’ with appropriate plants to help filter sediment and chemicals in run-off while allowing infiltration back into the ground. If a ‘bioswale’ is not possible due to site constraints then a Stormceptor Water Quality Control Chamber that will treat the stormwater prior to releasing it onto the golf course will be considered in lieu of a bioswale.. d) All piping described here will be sized accordingly in the formal Drainage Report to be prepared by MARCIN. e) All other water that is not caught by the parking lot drainage system (i.e. on the south, east and north side of the building) will be graded to drain into the ditch system described in Item 1 above. The above concepts are how Marcin Engineering proposes to safely pass the rainfall and snowmelt drainage events through the site. MARCIN is open to further ideas on how to optimize these solutions and looks forward to working with the Project Team and the Town of Vail towards Construction Documents and building a successful project.

We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the GolflNordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have owned Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into town to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in town in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golf balls at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. Thank you for listening!

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. 2 5/7/2013 First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you 3 5/7/2013 would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue {information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners} and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path 2 5/7/2013 through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District. the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. 3 5/7/2013 First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over 4 5/7/2013 time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone.

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thank you I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in Lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue {information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners} and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District 3 5/7/2013 has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School). the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I don't know all the specifics or if the position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. 4 5/7/2013 I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course T own homes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the GolflNordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have o'Wlled Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into to'Wll to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in to'Wll in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golfballs at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. Thank you for listening!

You address many of my concerns also. We are thrilled about the much needed renovation of the Golf/Nordic Clubhouse. And, I too, am grateful for the decision to keep the zoning out of "general use." Many thanks for hearing us on this. We have owned Unit 20 for 12 years and have enjoyed the quiet feeling of our home away from home as well as the easy access to the bus stop for heading into town to ski and enjoy the festive hustle and bustle of Vail. We have raised 4 kids here and greatly appreciate the neighborhood feeling and especially the slow speed limits on the often slippery winter crossing of Sunburst Drive to the bus stop. The bus is often VERY full already with all the skiers who park in the golf club parking lot and overflow onto the streets. We also use the Nordic Center and ski track often in the winter and always walk along Sunburst to get there. I have also noticed that the summer bike traffic is heavy and increasing already. We are a part of this and use our bikes almost exclusively when we are in town in the summer. I worry that we could have a problem with anything that would further increase the traffic on Sunburst. Certainly, the appeal of the neighborhood would diminish greatly with more cars. I will also add that I have never noticed a problem with errant golf balls at all at our home. I hope that we can somehow avoid the costly litigation process and use that money in other more productive ways. 1 5/7/2013 Thank you for listening!

I think some of the facts contained in this letter may not have been addressed in the decision making process regarding the Golf Course Renovations. Thankyou I am the owner of Unit 55 at the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. My husband and I have owned our this home in Vail for over 16 years and prior to that owned a condominium in lionshead. Our property manager has been continually presenting information from all sides on this issue (information from Vail Recreation District, the Town, neighboring owners) and I wanted to take the time to express my opinions regarding the ongoing project plans at the Vail Golf Course area. First, I am thrilled that a long overdue face-lift and improvements are being implemented for the clubhouse and outbuildings for the course. Everyone seems to agree that this is very much needed so we are thankful for these efforts. I am also grateful that the Town and the Vail Recreation District has changed its plans from trying to rezone to general use, this is a great relief. Thank you for listening to these important concerns from the neighboring owners. I disagree with the notion that this venue and location is similar to having a community venue like Donovan Pavilion and Eagle-Vail Pavilion. Both Donovan and Eagle-Vail have open space around them and had no structures or facilities located on the property when the neighboring homeowners bought their homes in the vicinity of these venues. Additionally, there is a much more substantial barrier between these venues and nearby owners compared to our situation at the Vail Golf Course where things are quite dense in comparison. For example, Donovan Pavilion has huge areas of grass lawns, parks etcetera and on the areas that are closest to adjacent private residences, Gore Creek runs between homes and the venue along with mature trees. In Eagle-Vail the nearest properties are Homestake Peak School (formerly Battle Mountain High School), the community golf course, pool and tennis courts. No one lives even close to that venue in comparison. Conversely, at the Vail Golf Course clubhouse area we are very close together in this area and the land that you are working with is substantially smaller. I for one do not feel it was reasonable for people that purchased here to anticipate that such a change was a likelihood. I donlt know all the specifics or ifthe position of the Sunburst owners is 100% accurate but it is my understanding that there was good reason to feel protected by the deed restrictions in place on the 2 5/7/2013 parcel in question. It also doesn't make good sense to me to add a venue to this area given the limited land for appropriate facilities for parking. It is too close to neighboring residences that will likely be adversely impacted. Even now there are several times per year that we as neighbors in the area ignore illegal parking along the road for people that are at the clubhouse or the golf course when it is beyond its parking capacity. I am told that you are planning to have approximately 150 events per year at this new venue in addition to what already takes place. The single entry road is a slow moving (15 mile an hour zone that is already a challenge due to the fact that it is shared with the bike path. During the summer there are numerous bikers, including many small children riding to the connecting bike path through the golf course. Bringing more traffic to the situation seems undesirable on several levels. I just don't see how this can turn out well. I believe many if not most of the owners that bought property in this area did so (and at a substantial premium) for the proximity to the Vail core while at the same time having a true "neighborhood" that is quiet and out of the "hustle and bustle" of the main Vail area. It feels a bit like the reasons for our purchase are being jerked out from under us now. I cannot help but wonder if this will negatively impact our property values over time. Yes we want a newer facility to replace the dated facility but we had no idea that the price for that would be to change the character of the neighborhood at the same time. I also wonder if this event venue is taken out of the equation if this lawsuit from the Sunburst owners would also go away. As an avid golfer of the course I feel any changes to the 18th hole will diminish its appeal. I am sure cheaper and less impacting alternatives could be explored to protect from errant balls from the driving range, however, I have played there for many years and have not found there to be an issue. I ask you to consider if you would have pursued this position (given the neighbors concerns) if many of these neighbors were entitled to vote in the elections process locally? Actually I don't remember the proposal approving the transfer of the monies to be used for the improvement of the clubhouse including any type of event venue. Maybe we as owners in this area, other than the Sunburst owners, have not done an adequate job of letting you know how disturbing this is to the other neighbors. If we had better expressed ourselves without relying upon our property manager then you would understand how important this is us as well. It may be wrong to feel as though we are being treated like second class citizens as second homeowners, but I must admit these continued plans have left me with pangs of feeling that this is what I never thought I was "just a second homeowner." I have always felt like a part of this community in all these years of owning in Vail and I want to keep those good feelings. I am hopeful that if we express ourselves more and you understand how so many of us feel that this can get back on track and avoid the nightmare of drawn out litigation. As you are certainly aware, litigation will not only undermine pocketbooks for everyone including the Town, but will also undermine the community spirit in the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to my concerns. I realize that it is not possible to make everyone happy and that you have changed some things based upon expressed concerns, but I do feel that the plan in its current form still seems to be negative for a great deal of people and not just a few. I anxiously await the study on expected revenues from these changes in the report that I have been told is forthcoming from the VRD and the Town. I have a hard time believing that the revenue is going to be impressive enough to put everyone through this. I feel very strongly that many other neighbors agree with my position so I am asking our property manager to cc the other homeowners in the Vail Golf Course Townhomes on this email to give them an opportunity to if t add their position either in support of your plans or against them as I certainly don't want to speak for everyone. I encourage them to "reply to all" with their opinions on the project and if they support it then they deserve to be heard as well. If those owners wish to send their opinions without everyone else seeing them then they can certainly send it directly themselves. Please other owners, make your opinions known on something that is the biggest effect on our neighborhood in the entire time that I have owned. Although Malia has done a great job at trying to convey how we feel to the Town, it impossible for her to fully express what only we can do individually.

The slides presented to the PEC at the October 22, 2012 meeting have yet to be published, and the application materiats forthe CUP were onlyposted after 4:30 PM on Friday, November 9, 2012—yesterday's business day. The Operating Plan cannot be used as a substitute formeeting actual parking standards: In 1986, whenrequested to modifythe Conditional Use Permit toadd an occasional meeting room of approximately 500 sq. ft., the PEC required theaddition of 4.8 additional parking spaces. Today, a request to add 7,000 sq. ft. of interiorbanquet and meetingspace plus 5,000 sq. ft. of banquet lawn space (12,000 sq. ft. total) provides only 9 additional parking spaces. Linearscaling would require 115 additional spaces. The new use is NOT occasional, with a plan for 100 events in the high seasons, implying 4-5 events per week. If a dubious operating plan is accepted as an alternative to actual parking spaces, the PEC can expectevery futureapplicant to demandequal treatment. For example, a hotel could claim its operating plan requires 30% of its guest to use publictransportation. The so-called estrictions in the Operating Plan are outrageousexamples of self-dealing and are not restrictionsat all. TheTown of Vail, as the applicant for the CUP, agrees to various restrictions in the Operating Plan. But, this same Operating Plan grants thesameapplicantthe authority to exempt itself from the restrictions. Examples of such self-exemptedrestrictions are: use of tents, parking on Sunburst Drive, and hours of operation of the Event Center. Perhapsthemost accurate paragraph in the Operating Plan reads (on page 7) "the Club House is located on a municipal public golf course and within a residentialneighborhood and witlbe required to agree to respect the quiet enjoyment ofthe neighboring properties". TheCUP application and the self-exempted Operating Plan restrictions are in complete conflict with those words. The PEC is required to consider the "effect upon the character of thearea in which the proposed use is to be located, includingthe scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses." The PEC mustdenythis attempt to hijacktheClubHouse and convert it to an Events Center. If there is any doubtabout the intention to hijack the ClubHouse, consider the architect's testimonyat the November 8, 2012 DRB meeting. The DRB had several questions regarding signage and wondered how people would knowwhich entrance to the building touse. Thebuilding architect said no onecould mistake the Pavilion entrance. There would be a small door with a smallsign saying "Golf Entrance" and a large, prominent gabled entrance with a large sign saying "Events Pavilion". There is no doubt that this CUP is a hijacking of the Golf Club House and of the 18th hole to create a re-purposedEvent Center, including authorization for tents, bleachers, concessions and restrooms that does not fit the neighborhood and is not an accessory use of the golf course. The CUP must be denied. 5/7/2013 w P v'ti Vail Golf Course ClubhouselEvent Center Vail Planning and EnvironmentalCominission 12 November 2012 Index of E ibits Presented by Sunburst Drive Homeowners partial) 1.

The list of those property owners and families, and a map identifying their properties, isattached to this letter. The following analysis eYpresses most, butnot necessarily all, of the concerns and objections of the owners and residents of the properties refened to above: Mattersunder Consideration Zone District Amendment - Those onwhose behalfI speak have no objection to the zone district amendment. 2. Zone Text Amendment - Those on whose behalf I speak have no objection to the zoning text amendment, provided that the proposed 33-foot maximum height is, in fact, the maximum height, and that architectural featuressuch as towers are not permitted to exceed that height. 3. Conditional Use Permit - Everyone wishes to have a renovated golf courseclubhouse, consistent with the representations of the Vail Town Council and Town Manager in developing the ballot language relating to the use of convention center funds for that purpose in August, 2011. 5/7/2013 The Council's description of the project prior to the convention fund election was specific in that the renovated clubhouse was to be within the footprint of the existing clubhouse. Any intent to destroy any part of the 18th fairway or to use of any part of the18th fairway for an event center appropriating a significant part of the golf course was not publicized in connection with the development of the ballot question and did not receive voter or community approval. It is largelythat deparlure from the Council's commitment which has generated this controversy and the litigation in which everyone is involved today. Relationship to Existing, Conditional Use Permit The current application is characterized as an amendment to a 1986 conditional use pernut for a clubhouse, which would pernutimprovement of the clubhouse. Characterizing the project as a"clubhouse" is an attemptto achieve authorization of the project as an"accessory use" in the Outdoor Recreation zone district, as though it were related to a golf course. Notwithstanding the Town's "clubhouse" characterization, the proposed structure and uses of adjacent properiy would comprise an profit-oriented event complex which has no relationship to a golf clubhouse and which is not an accessory use to a golf course. To the best of our knowledge, no other public ar semi-public golf course in Eagle County has an event center as part of a clubhouse structure, although several communities, such as Eagle-Vail, Singletree, and EagleRanch have event centers at different locations, similar to the Donovan Pavilion. The proposed project calls for the creation of a facility which can be called a mini- convention center, which the Vail voters disapproved in 2005, or it can be called an event center. The one thing which it cannot legitimately be called is a clubhouse. It both appears to be and would function more like the Air Force Academy chapel than a golf clubhouse. Calling the Air Force Academy chapel a"clubhouse" doesn't make it a clubhouse, any more than calling an aircraft carrier a"clubhouse" makes that vessel a clubhouse. So it is with this proposed building. With reference to whether the proposed project isan "accessory use", the Municipal Code defines an accessory use as"a use or activity that is subardinate orincidental to a permitted or conditional use". The space related to golf functions in the proposedstructure, such as the pro shop and the lockerroom, represents a small fraction of the total floor area of the proposed structure. The land area which is proposed for designation as event space greatly exceeds the area adjacent to the clubhouse which is to be golf-related. A mini-convention center or events center of the nature which is proposed (including both interior and exterior features) is in no way subordinate or incidental to a permitted or conditional use", and it is not eligible for a conditional use permit in the Outdoor Recreation zone district. The Town of Vail land use regulations do not authorize the proposed project as an accessory use, and the PEC must deny the request for the proposed conditional use. 2 5/7/2013 Responses of the Communitv The Town of Vail has been provided with copies of the June-July correspondence from the golfing communiiy and has additional later communications, particularlyfrom the property owners and residents of the Sunburst neighborhood (bothSunburst Drive and Vail Golfcourse TownhouseAssociations). These communications identify objections, issues and actions requiredto eliminate or mitigate threats to the neighborhood. All of these comments are to be included in the record of these proceedings. Thismaterial specifically includesbut is not limited to various letters from Sunburst Drive property owners which have been sent to the Town during recent months and specifically a letter from the Sunburst Drive Homeowners to the PEC dated and received by the Town of Vail on the 17th day of October, 2012. If the PEC chooses to proceed with consideration of this project and actually takes action approving it, then it must consider the vast range of objections to the proposal. The June-July input from the community brought objections from morethan eighty members of the golfing community and neighborhood, and only four responses in support, making it clear that this praject was unacceptable. More recently, the Vail Recreation District indicated, in response to a reference to the June-3uly communications, that those in the golfmgcommunity who had previously objected had reversed theirposition and that therewere only a couple of golferswho objected. This is simplynot true. I contacted those in the golfing community who had previously objected and asked whether they had changed their positions. None of the previous objectars indicated that he ar she hadchanged positions. Indeed, approximately half of those who previously objected took the troubletoreconfirm their previousobjections. There is no evidence that anyone who previously objectedto the proposed project has changed his or her position. Neither has there been anychange in position in the Sunburst neighborhood. In fact, within recent weeks, upon being made aware of the pending threat, the residents and property owners of the Vail GolfcourseTownhomes have objected as well. No one favors this proposal except a majority of the Town Council andthe Vail Marketing Board, both of whom view it as a revenue generator. If the Town had an application for a projectlike this from a private party determined to destroy a neighborhood based upon a profit motive, it would nevermake it past conceptual review. The PEC should hold this application to the same standard as any other application and deny it promptly and finally. RequirementsEstablished bv the Municipal Code The Vail Municipal Code has criteria upon which the decision of the PEC is to be based, but it is important to note that the entire process itself has been flawed. Although the Town filed applications for threeactions (zone district amendment, zoning text change amendment and conditional use permit) on the 24th of September, 2012, those applications were incomplete and failed tosatisfy applicable regulations, at best. 3 5/7/2013 Only the application for the zone district amendment was clear. The property which serves as a parkinglot is to be changed toOutdoor Recreation. Thatproposal has met with no objection. The application for the zoning text change amendmentwasmare of a reference to a possible discussion of alternative proposals to address a challenge presented by the design of the proposed event center, dealing with three alternatives whichmight be requested for consideration. Only after more that a month of processing was a decision made onthemanner in which the matter would be presented for consideration. The application for a conditional use permit was incompletewhen filed and has represented a moving target since the beginning of theprocess. The application conflicts both internally and with the governing provisions of the Municipal Code. With reference to notice of the PEC hearing process, that notice was circulated to the neighborhood after the initial application, when the only certaintyrelated to the zone district amendment. Only through monitoring the progress of the matter could anyone be aware of the possibility that a real hearing would occur at some time after the initial conceptualconsideration, and most recently access to the evolution of theprocess has been denied by litigation counsel to the Town of Vail. When the PEC decides that there is a complete and final application upon which a hearing can be conducted, proper noticesshould be circulated and published, reasonable opportunity should be provided to review the final proposal, and a hearing should be publicly announced and conducted based upon those proper notices and the availability of information. Criteria Under the Munic alCode The Municipal Code establishes criteria for the granting or denial of a proposed conditional use permit, or a significant amendment to an existing conditional use permit. The PEC is requiredby 12-16-10 of the Municipal Code to review the proposal in accordance with the provisions far a newly initiated application for a conditional use permit generally. That process requires a review of the criteria applicable to an original conditional use permit. As identified by the Town staff and the Municipal Code, the criteria for determining whether a conditional use permit should be granted, and the accurate analysis (differing significantly from the analysis offered to the PEC by the Town), are the following: 1. The precise nature of the proposed use andmeasures proposed to make the use compatible with other roperties in the vicinitv. The current golf course clubhouse is a golfmg facility with a restaurant and attached space which occasionally serves to 120 people. The Town's proposedeventcenteris designed to accommodate 200people in its interior event space in addition to golf traffic, and the Town intends to convert part of a golf course into an exteriar and adjoining event center, for use 100 times each year. It is 5/7/2013 the Town's apparent position that this activity constitutes no change in use. The use of part of the current 18th fairway and the use of tents which can be permitted by the Town would increase the numbers by several hundred, bringing the total number present toat least500 people. No reasonable person could agree with an analysis which indicates that such uses are comparable to the existing use or are compatible with a residential neighborhood. The proposed changes in use will prevent the owners and residents of residences in the neighbarhood from being ableto use those residences in the way any residential property owner is entitled to expect, and the associated destruction of part of the golf course eliminates entirely an amenity which the Town agreed to respect and maintain, under what is referred to as the "Pulis covenant" (part of the attached deed) when it acquired the property almost thirty years ago. There are no measures which can be established to make the proposed use compatible with other properties in the vicinity. 2. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. The Town took steps to reallocate conference center funds for expenditure on this and two other projects, but the representation made by the Town Council and Manager in order to obtain community consent to the reallocation of those funds was that the clubhouse would be renovated within the footprint of the existing building. There was no suggestion that the project wouldinvolve the conversion of the clubhouse to an event center with a de minimus golf facility or the expansion of exterior event facilities necessitating the destruction of part of the golf course. 3. Effect of the use on li ht and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other publicfacilities and ublic facilities needs. Contrary to the Town's assertion that some of these considerations will experience improvement, the light and noise from the proposed facility will be a factor in making the neighborhood difficult to inhabit, and the golf recreation facility which has existed for more than forty years will be severely impacted. The congestion which will be associated with group events numbering 200 people on a regular basis and 500 people when the Town decides to permit that to happen, in addition to 90 vehicles from golf traffic (accordingto the Town's analysis) will render the Town unable to effectively provide for fire and other safety protection. 4. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to con estion, automotive andpedestrian safetv and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streetsand parking areas. It seems to be the Town's position that the change in use from occasional events for a maa imum of 120 people to 100 events per year (at least three to four a week during high seasons) for 200-500 people will create no issue regardingcongestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control. The Town's conclusion has not objective support and defies logic. The location is served by a narrow road which even during a neighborhood meeting conducted 5/7/2013 by the Town during a summer golf day resulted in the necessity of cars being parked along Sunburst Drive, effectively creating a one-lane street. Aga.in, the congestion which will be associated with group events. numbering 200 to 500 people in addition to golf traffic will endanger the community and the guests. The Townsimply will not be able to provide adequate fire and other safety protection services. Effect on the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, includin the scale and bulk of the pro osed use in relation to surrounding uses. The effect of the proposed use, with reference to both thesize and operation of the new structure and the conversion of the exterior space from a golf course fo an event venue, will be to destroy the ability of residentsand property owners to experience the normal enjoyment of an established neighborhood of more than 100 residences, including both the low density residences along Sunburst Drive and many of the townhouse residences withinVail GolfcourseTownhomes. The impacts discussedabove, and the fact that they can be easily identified butnot resolved, has been established through the unanimity of the communications to the Town of Vail from the Sunburst neighborhood andthe golf community. The Town's effort topush through its plan without recognizing that these critical flaws cannot be resolved, defies the Town of Vail electorate, the community and logical analysis. Management and Operations Plan The PEC is being told by the Town that problems which cannot otherwise be resolved will be resolved through the effect of the "management and operations plan" (the "Operations Plan") which has been submitted in connection with the application for the conditional use permit. For the PEC to acceptsuch logic would be an abdication of the PEC's responsibility to guarantee that applicantsresolve issues before a conditional use is authorized. The proposed Operations Plan, while presented as the idealmethod of addressing the issues identified by the neighborhood, is so vague and variable that its very natureestablishes that theseissues can be identified, but they cannot be resolved. The proposed Operations Plan cannot be relied upon by anyone other than the Town, and the Town's reliance is based uponits unenforceability and the ability of the Town togrant itself dispensations from the limitations contained in the plan, particularly the size of event, parking and outside functions, which may involve the unlimited use of tents. While the proposed Operations Plansupposedly can be changed only through the conditional use process, the reality is that the internalprovisions of the planpernut the Town to avoid its limitations and prohibitions at will. The proposedmanagement and operations plan has no significance whatsoever in connection with any limitations upon which the neighborhood can rely. 0 5/7/2013 Reauired Responses to Specific Impacts on the Communitv With reference to speciiic impacts on the neighborhood and the provisions required to mitigate, if not eliminate, those impacts, these impacts and measures were generally addressed in the letter from the Sunburst Drive Homeowners of the 17th of October referred to above and include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: l. The size of the project is grossly in excess of what has been the prior practice, dramatically increasing the effective capacity of the existing facility. If the project is to proceed, the capacity of the project should be limited to 120 persons total, as currently configured, and no eYterior activity should be permitted. 2. The parking issues cannot be resolved unless events occur only when golf and nardic activities and operations are not occurring. Consequently, any authorization must allow activities not related to golf or nordic uses only at times when golf and nordic activities are not occurring. As limited in the original conveyance of this property to the Town, the golf, park and open space function of this facility mustremain the reason for its existence. No activities can be permitted on the current location of the 18th fairway or 18th green, which must remain in their current configuration. , 4. Noise impacts must be eliminated, to the extent possible, by prohibiting exterior amplified sound, by the eliminating any possibility that windows can be opened in any location wherenoise can be produced, and by prohibiting all activities outside the remodeled structure after 10:00pm. 5. Lighting must be limited to that which is necessary for safe pedestrian traffic to and from the remodeled structure. 6. Provision must be made for effective monitoring of noise and activities, and for enforcement and sanctions in the case of violations. 7. Tents must be prohibited in a11 circumstances. Finally, any authorization must ensure that there is constructed a significant vegetative bufFer to protect theresidences, with no activities south or southeast of the current cart path lying on the northwest side of the west half of the18th hole. If there were an attempt toimplement a plan which incorporated theabove conditions, it would be necessary to memorialize that plan as an enforceabledocument which neither party could change other than by the consent of both the Town and the residents. 7 5/7/2013 Conclusion As has previously beenstated, the Town's proposal to reconstruct the Vail golf course clubhouse was approved by the electorate based upon the representation of the Council that the project would be limited to the footprint of the current clubhouse. The current proposal has taken on a life of its own, with no relationshipto the fundamental requirement that it bean accessory use" related to the golf course or to the justifiable expectations of those who relied on the Town Council's assurances associated with the 2011 convention center fund ballot question. The proposed conditional use permit should be denied. If granted, the conditions must include those noted above, as more specifically described in past communications to the Town of Vail.

Wi±h our legal documentstatingthe only use being a golfi course, open space, park and related facilities, why is this center even being considered? The Golf Course etc." clausewas worded to prevent thissort of thing from happening. Why not a hotel; condominiums or dissolving the golf courseentirely at the Town's will and selling the property off to private investors? Our conditions were agreed upon by the Town's officials with their initial signing of thedocument. I would expect thatcommitment to be morally honored by the present representatives. Warren Pulis 5/7/2013 ballot languageidentical to that which was tested in the poll. A draft resolution is presented for discussion so that any changes and/or additions requested byCouncil may be incorporatedprior to proposed adoption of the resolution on August 16. Cleveland read the following ballot language intothe record. "Ballot Question No. 1 Without increasingtaxes, shail the Town of Vail use theremainder of the one andone- half percentlodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenuescollected from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 20Q5, tofund thefailowing projects that will promoterecreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail: Renovation of the clubhouse at the Vail Goif Course and NordicCenter, including a new pavilion; Field expansion and restroomrenovation at the Ford Park Sports Compiex; and FordPark Amphitheater impravements, including outdoor seating and restroorn improvements?" Donovan stated this was the wording used in the poiling survey. Rogers said there are a number of people who are confused about the new pavilion. Daly suggested saying community space instead of a new pavilion. Camp suggested the wording be community pavilion and extended deck. Newbury said to use expanding and improving the clubhouse including a community space. Newbury said they should have more information to clarify that additional funding wouid be need to be provided toward these projects because thecurrent wording suggests the funds will completely provide for these projects and the town needs partners. Zemler suggested whoever is in charge should do the education of this. Zemler said they need to make sure there is an aspect of the language that states the new community space is to serve the community. Gretchen Busse, resident, stated she has livedon Sunburst Drive for many years. She said she was told the pavilionwould be6,000 square feet and didn't thinkthat was appropriate as this isin a residential area. She is concerned as there are a lot of bicyciists that ride on Sunburst Driveand she is concerned about adequate parking as are some of her neighbors. Cieveland said the information she aot was incorrect. The pavilion will be built in the footprintof the existing golf course club house. She wants more information on how big of a pavilion they are trying to build and where the parking will be. Daly said there will be more parkinq available and the pavilion would be in part of the club house building footprint. Daly suggested she contact Mike Ortiz and getthe neighbors together to discuss this project in further detail. Joe Hanlon, with the Vail Recreation District (VRD), said they will be reaching out to the neighbors of the areaand go throughthe plans and educatepeople on what this project looks like.

I arn working but will join the meeting when I can. RodneyJohnson I havebeen living in the valley for ZS years and havebeen a pass holder at the Vail Goif course for 18 years. I totally oppose making # 18 a parking lot and that the new T boxes are on the other side of the pond on 17 be the new T boxes for # 18. In vaii where everparking is needed, like at all the new buildings in vail, a parking structu e under the buiiding has worked greaC . Please do noh destroy one of the best flnishing hole in the vail valley ! t Paul Seidman We hate the idea of changing #18: IYs a wonderful hole and a beautiful way to flnish up a goif round.

I haven't met with the members of the PEC but I'm sure they wiil blame the Town Council for adding too much "multi use community space."

For reasons thatMatt Mire can explain to you, I must state that whatfoliows is an effort to resolve a matter which may (but which we hopewill not) evolve into litigation, and, for that reason, its contents areprotected by Rule 408 of the Colorado Rules of Evidence and may not beused in any proceeding without the express writtenpermission of the client of this office. This communication mayfallon deaf ears, but I hope thaYs notthe case. The Councitwill be engaging in a work session this afternoon; and I hope that the message I'm trying to pass on can come before therrr during those discussions. There seems to be little question that the golf course clubhouse should be dramatically remodeledif not reconstructed and that thiswas one of the three targeE areas for expenditure ofconvention center funds recentlyapproved by the electorate. Whether the elimination of the.18th green and a good part of the 18th fairway was clearly approved is less clear. In any event, the bestinformatlonwe have is that the golfing community objects to the latteF part of the current. program; the Vail Recreation District Boarddoesnot suppo t it; and the neighboringproperty owners are vehemently opposed to thatlatter part of the plan: . It seems certain tha! this p(a i; ifit proceeds, is bound for a longand arduous battle- Rather thanengaging in that battle; it seems appropriate to shiftdirectlon as early as possible, in order that as little time may be los.f aspossible: The Town apparentty is currentlybeing driveR toward the proposed change in zone district boundaries largely by the propertyboundaryestablished by the subdivisionplat which was approved by the PEC on the ` 14th of May. The flrst step in redirection is to modify that subdlvisionplat in such a way that the parcel includes no property relating to the 18th fairway and 18th green - perhaps creating theparcel line some distance north of the golf cart path on the north side of the 18th green. Upon approval of thaf modifiedplat and a continuance of the hearing of the zone district amendment until the newplat is in place, thezone dlstrict amendment couldthen proceed based upon that new plat, leaving the 18th faicway and the 18th green in the OR zonedistrict, satisfying the golfing community, permitting the VRD and the Townto proceed expeditiously with the work on the clubhouse; and providing the stability in zoning to which the neighboring property owners are entitled:. We hope that theCouncil willrecognize that we are attemptingto work toward a common goal here, and that the direction suggested above is in the bestinterests of all concemed.

Our f'Emily 7urchased this home ith the understanding and the a surance that our propert and the surroundin s would always remain zoned D.R. and a green area. This was entirely logical considering the Iong history of the Vail golf course and the importance af the golf course (particularly the 18`h hole in its current configuration) to the attraction of Vail as recreational destination during the surnmer months. The current zoning, `vhich was designed to assure the community of the perpetuity of that use and has been relied uponby the neighborhood as a whole, is essential for our neighborhood well being and our property values. We believe there is NO legitimate or justifiable reason tochange thiszoning. We highly value our ability to sit on our deck and enjoy mountainviewsin peace and quiet. Our use of this property would be severely hampered with a parking lot and a possible "events center" 50-70 feet from our deck. There will bean inerease in noise, changes made to the natural environment, and security issues that we would have to deal with- how would you like that? Any other uses permitted in a General Use zoning area are equally distressing. Again, we strongly protest a change from Outdoor Recreation Use to General Use zoning for the property adjacentto the 18th green! There is no justification for a change there-----we would approve of and enjoy the remodeling of the Clubhouse and change in zone district under the current footprint of that redevelopment project. For these reasons, we are convinced that the currentproposal for conversion of property from the Outdoor Recreation zone district to the GeneralUse zone district should be denied.

Such a change would be an abuse of the authority entrusced to the Councit by those of us who live in this neighborhood full-time as well as those who have invested in this area with the expectation of enjoyin; peace and beauty in their homeaway from home. We whoteheartedly support the expansion and improvement of the dubhouse. A facelift is tong overdue and will be a benefit to both the Recreation District and the Town of Vail. At the moment the structure is an eyesore when it should be a world-ctass resort amenity, Battot Question No. 1 which passed last fall makes reference tomul[i-use community space at the clubhouse. That proposal has meant different thin5s to different peopte, asis illustrated by the various alternatives for the clubhouse project. It makes na reference to moving the 18`h green, shortening the fairway, paving over the area ofthe present green for additionatparking or hotding outdoor events such as wedding receptions, concerts, etC.. The questfon on the ballot had basically one over-riding alternative - didthe voters wish to spend the lodging tax on improvements to Vail or did they prefer to return that money, in some uncertain fashion, to the visitors who paid it. The question wasn't what [he money shouldbe spent on, but rather whether it should be given back. No rational voterwould have voted against it, regardless of the uncertain purpose for which the money was to be used. The area under consideration for this proposed zone district amendment is bordered on two sides by residentiat areas. All of us who live in that area paid a premium for real estate that's dose to a golf course. In our case, and the case of [he ownersof the other first four lots along the north side of Sunburst Drive, wepaid an evenbigger premium to be contiguous with the fairway with a fineview of the green. That green being replaced with asphalt, no matter how well buffered with vegetation, will adversely affect our investment in our home. Since our house is currently on the market, the uncertainty about this project has already affectedour ability tosell and will have a direct bearing on the sales price should we receive an offer before this matter is settled once and forall. 5/7/2013 Cr10U i1 CUI" 7f1f1C1(J<li concern is :he `:?Ct Ch2t ihQ USES t^tI11C11 -o^'OU f I"eSU trorn te u an e in =oniiik vrould des ruyth? au lit; of lif Fiici we have rperienceC ard o n:iru=_ t.p e,: :°rien:° t C.:r resvrn;e. _r,.r C i Cern :vith th Y'.-1..7i? ?G 3'.f':I"d: E 7011`Ilf ly Ili1t 'Gll:.l(ji.Q "..Ie 1f'.C C: p' r C DfO JGS:'ij es or ::ur l:es , he ra: t that t.°'vatue of otir real rstaP.e vri'l d; op ir maticall; if a ark'n; lo is st.ibs:t.t«d fr- rl e c.uren 1' ?r2 n.

A ext amendment coutd also make additional uses possible if the Council were to add a proposed use to the conditional uses already permitted in theGeneral Use zone district. ifthe new zoning were to be passed and activities such as weddings and/or concerts were totakeptacein the outdoor space, it woutd be impossible to prevent impac.ts on the adjoining properties, even if there were strict regulations in place to control thenoise. The Town could not effectively con[rol noise and other impacts of an event in pro ress. Even now, we can already be in bed in theevening and feel the beat of music that's being played inside the golf clubhouse for wedding receptions. We can hardly imagine how much worse it would be with an outdoor event. This is a residential area, after alt. It reatty wouldn't be appropriate for residents to be drivenout of their own hornesby the noise at ten, eteven or midnight. Among the criteriato be considered in your deciding whether to approve a proposed zone district amendment is, "That the amendment is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas". In this case, we are convinced that the uses allowed under the General Use category are not appropriate for a residential neighborhood, and no number of ronditions can correct the problems that would resultfrom those activities. We hope tha[ the TownCouncil witl give serious thought to our objections and we urge that the Council deny the proposed zone district amendment.

Fromour deck and main living areas we look straight at the 18`h hole and theclubhouse of the Vail Golf Club. Wehave ownedthis home since 1999 and prior to buying this home we owned a town home at Riverbend in East Vail. Our Sunburst Drive residence, like several other residences on our street, is adjacentto the parcel owned by the Town of Vail, which is the subject of the cunent proceeding to change thezone district designation of that Town parcel from the Outdoor Recreation (OR) zone district to the GeneralUse (GU) zone district. We have long relied on the prospective use of the Town's property for outdoor recreational uses, and maintenance of the current zoning is tied to that expectation. The uses permitted in the GU zone district are incompatible with the residential use of adjoining property and would destroyour family's ability to use our property and the value of that property, and we must protest the proposed change in zone district designation. We strongly oppose this change in zoning. There is no justification for changing the zone district designation for the property on which the 18`h hole is located, and those of us who adjoin the Town parcel are, to the best of our knowledge, unanimous in our opposition to this proposal. Forwork reasons we now reside in Atlanta, but Vail is really the place our entire family gathers and feels at horne. For 19 of the past 20 years we have all spent Christmas together in Vail as well as getting to Vail as often as possible the rest of the year. We love Vail and we love ourhome in Vail. 5/7/2013 We selected this home because it was close to the Town of Vail but also because it represents and is surrounded both front and backby open space and recreational areas, On the southside isthe Thite River National Forest and the bike path along Sunburst, and on the north we look directly at the 18`h green of the Vail Golf Course. V hil few af us are actually golfers, «e enjoy sitting inour living roam arta ur on our deckand atching the camaraderie and a rnpetiti n an tite 15`' ,;reen. This Y;Ireeri s ace and 7ol.f c«urs vista and tasac;e is very' itiiportant to hetp presen e the sanctuary ot otir homc, vlYich 4'ail, as a<<hc 3e, lsc s.ri Fers cj ar fazt7.ily :md those f us ho nust cieal oii a re zlar basis «ith busine.ss ives vl7ich requu-e us to li; tnuch of our time in other lo ations araund the vorld. Over theyears, we t ave i.nveste i hea ily in in:rc v,rnents to a ur E i7rne iE1 the. belief that the open space sanctuary and recreationalamenities surrounding us e-ould be rer>erved. While only a few of our family members are active golfers, we have hit balls on the driving range, eaten at the golf clubhouse many times over theyears, cross country skied in the winter and our middle daughter's wedding rehearsal party was held in the golf clubhouse in January of 2000. We also work to be good citizens and stewards of Vail. Over the years we have shown our commitment to the Vail community in many ways including significantcontributions to the Vail Valley Medical Center, the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation, the Vail Valley Foundation, the Vail Interfaith Chapel and the Eagle County Land Trust among others. We agree with council membersthat the clubhouseshould be dramatically improved and updated, and we also agree that the clubhouseabsolutely canand should stay in the area where it is eurrently located and that cunent parking on location and that which is easily accessible by public transportation is more than adequate for current and future use of the clubhouse and course. Where wemay differ is that we strongly believethat the currently proposed zoning change should be limited to the area required for updating the building. Changing only the building area zoningto GU and keeping the 18`t` green area zoned as OR will help provide long-term protection to the golf course and particularly to the 18`h hole and green. No change to the zoning south of the clubhouse is justified. Speaking as someone who has actually participated in a daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner at the clubhouse, we assure you that current parking is more than dequate for this type activity and for all other potential uses. For our wedding reception the guests stayed at the So enalp and used the very good Vail bus system tobe safely, warmly and soberly transported to and from therehearsal party. We supportthe change in the zoning from OR to GU for only that portion of the property which is required for the clubhouserenovations, and to accomplish this will require a change in the plat previously approved by the Town. We also believethat the change in the plat canbe accomplished and still allow zoning and construction on the clubhouse to be kept on your schedule. We further verystrongly believe that it is irnportant to complete this project in a way which is environmentally and recreationally friendly. To accomplish these goals in an environmentally and recreationally friendly manner will require a subdivision plat which isdifferentfrom the one which was approved by the Town in May. The subdivisionplat should be modified so that the "new lot" is only that property north of the current golf cart path (perhaps the north half of the newly created lot), leaving the 18' fairway and the 1 S` green (roughly the south half of the lot) in the OR zone district. The Town needs only the northern part of the newly configured lot for the clubhouse project, but gettingthat conect description does require that the subdivision plat be redrawn and approved in new form by the Platuiing Commission in advance of the adoption of the ordinance amendingthe zone district, which apparently must be based upon the lot upon which construction is to occur. Most of you seem to be clearly supportive of keeping the 18`h hole and green as currently designed, and that can beaccomplished while appropriately remodeling the clubhouse within a more tightly defined and appropriate GU zone district. We emphasize the danger to the adjoining property owners, thegolfers and the users of the area around the 18` h green. That threat isthe fact thatchanging the underlying zoning of the 18`h green area from OR to GU as it is currently planned and platted will allow any future council to eliminate or 5/7/2013 changethe use of the 18th hole with little or no inputor protection for the neighborhood, the home owners, the golfers or our beloved Vail community. Once again, based upon our personal esperience, no additional parking is required at this site and public transportation is a sate, econ.omical and en iron nentally friendly way to aeeommadate all our utpc ses.

Although we understand that the public hearing originally scheduled for the 3rd of July will be continued, we also understand that the Council will be taking public comment on thequestion of whether the zone district should be approvedor, if reconsidered, the direction to be taken.

Mr. Hilliard's property and residence adjoin the property which is proposed for ihe zone district amendment. I also am authorized to state that other residents of Sunburst Drive who are owners and/or residents of properties adjacent to thethreatened area join in Mr. Hilliard's positions and in the positions taken in this letter, and I will provide the names of those other owners and residents at the time of the hearing on this proposal. It should be noted that thiscommunication is somewhat abbreviated with referenceto the rcasons the proposed zone district amendment should be disapproved by the Council because of two considerations: (a) it is our understanding that, while the Council will take comments from the public on the proposal during its meetings onthe 3rd of July, the actual public hearing and second reading of theordinance which deals with the proposal will be continued until a later date; and (b) the Council has enough before it to confirm the need to delay action and modify this proposal (at the very least) without beingrequired to deal with the wide gamut of probtems with this proposal when a resolution of those problems may be identified. Against this background, please be advised that Mr. Hilliard, as well as many other residents and property owners in the neighborhood, object tothe proposed zone district amendment and any significant change in the 18thgreen and fairway of the Vail Golf Course. 5/7/2013 ome of th more specific reasons for our clietits' objec.tions are as follows: Subs:antive Objections: 1 he proposed zonechange is unjustified by any legitimate measure under which a zone change is to be considered. More specifically: a. The proposed zoning amendment is inconsistent with the desires of the residents and adjacent property owners in the neighborhood, who are, to the extent we can determine, unanimous in their opposition tothe proposal; b. The proposed zoningamendment is not necessitated or prompted by any standazd which would warrant a change in the current zone district, or the redevelopment of the clubhouse associated with the Vail golf course, but rather by a perceived need on the part of the Town for a revenue-generating event azea and a perceived need for additional parkinglargely if not exclusively related to that event area; The golfing community, the actual users of the subjectproperty, has expressed its objection to the change in the configuration of the 18th fairway and green both to the Vail Recreation District and to this Council in no uncertain terms; d. The proposed zone district amendment would destroy what many in the golfing community considerto be one of the signature holes, if not the signature hole, of the Vail golf course; e. "I'he proposedzoning amendment would permit uses which conflict with and disturb existing uses on and destroy the value of adjacent properties. 2. According to the Vail Municipal Code - The general use district is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-public uses which, because of their specialcharaeteristies, eannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which development standazds prescribed for each particulaz developrnent proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in section i2-1-2 of this title and to provide for the public welfaze. The general use district is intended to insure that public buildings and grounds and certaintvves of quasi-public uses permitted in the district are pro riatelv located and designedto meet the needs of the residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding,uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenitiesappropriate to the permitted types of uses." Emphasis added.) Vail Municipal Code, Section 12-9C-1 5/7/2013 As has heen a.nii `ill be demonstrated by ihe letters and voices of ;dj+ining rape.rty owners nd the olfing conununity, the proposed change in zc nedistricT :inJ ttiepruposed changes to the use of the subject property which wrould be permitte.d uponthat change in zone district designation neither meet the needs of property owners, residents, or those who use the subject property, nor would the proposed change and related uses harmonize with surrounding uses. Most of the uses permitted in the General Use zone district are far more aggressive than should be allowed in or adjacent to either a residential zone district (as is the case with the propertyto the south) or an outdoor recreation zone district (as is the property on the north and east). ThecurrentOutdoor Recreation zone district is the only effective protection available to the adjacent property owners and residents against the following uses which aze permitied, under the conditional use permit process, in the General Use zone district, but which are prohibited inthe Outdoor Recreation zone district: Churches Helipad Hospitals, medical and dental facilities, clinics, rehabilitation centers, clinical pharmacies, and ambulance facilities. Major azcade Plant and tree nurseries, and associated struetures Public and private schools and educational institutions Publicbuild.ings Public parking structures Public theaters, meeting rooms and convention facilities Public transportation temainals Public utilities installations Type I1I employeehousing units Water and sewage tzeatment plants. 5/7/2013 I he follatiti ing usesaccessc!ry o a p irking ;.tru.ture: offices, restaurants, sundries sho s, tr.ansiti'shuttle services. Vail Municipal Code, 12-9C-3. Under the conditional use permit process, these uses "shall be permitted in the GU district, subject [only] to issuance of a conditional use permit ...." (emphasis added) Vail Municipal Code, Section 12-9C-3. If the Town now or at some later time proposes suchuses as the owner of the property, as here, it is apparent that adjacent property owners and residents, as well as the golfing community, are unlikely to succeed in opposition before the Town based upon regulations over which the Town has control. No such debate will occur if the property remains in the Outdoor Recreation zone district. 4. Although the property owners and residents of the Sunburst Drive neighborhood recognize that the Vail golf course is owned by the Town, and that the Town should have significant flexibility in its use of that property, the Town also has a responsibility to those who are adjacent to it, particularly those who rely upon the Town to exercise appropriate judgment to protect the legitimate expectations of occupants of residences whohave long occupied thoseresidences with a justifiable expectation of a tranquil environment and neighborhood. Although the Town wears atleast two "hats" inthis proceeding, as property owner/applicant and a quasi-judicial decision maker, the latter responsibility requires the Council to evaluate the merits and faults of both the application and the objections. Practical Objections and Suggested Solution: Che fundamental challenge with which thisCouncil is confronted at this point in time is the fact that the current application is driven by a legal description of a parcel whieh could have been intercepted and corrected prior to its consideration and approvalby the Planning and Environrnental Commission, had its implications been identified and broad publicinput occurred during the PEC process. 'The Municipal Code did not require that action and such inputdidnot occur, and the Town is notto be faulted for that early lapse in attention. The subdivision of part of the Vail golf course which was approved by the PEC on the14th of May does, however, include approximately twice the area required by the renovation/reconstruction of the clubhouse, being roughly the north half of that new parcel. It is the inclusion of the area of the new pazcel which includes and lies south of the golf cartpath along the north side of the 18th fairway and green (approximately the south half of the new parcel) which makes thepackage objeetionable to the neighborhood and the golfing community. In order to respond appropriately to what seems to be a 5/7/2013 uni<<ersalopp sition ka this current prop 7:a1, tEie Tc wn shc i.id +ack u.p, vacate thu subdivision map a hich tiva ::pproved by t eP C c, the 1<th of -1a;r (assuming tliat map has een recoraed), and resubmit far FEC considerati na different subdivision map creating a new lot which includes only the ground required for the elubhouse renovation/reconstruction, i.e., the azea northwest of the golf cart pathreferred to above. 2. Hecause the boundary of theproposed zone district amendment is dictated by the legal description of the pazcel which recently was approved by the PEC and it is that boundary which is principally objectionable to the adjoining property owners and, it seems, the golfing community, a solution should be within reach. If the Town redefines the new golf course parcel (and therefore the property to be subject to the zone district amendment) in the manner suggested above, the current proceeding for a zone district amendment, with the legal description of the new General Use zone districtmodified in a manner identifying the property under the clubhouse as renovated/reconstructed, thereby preserving the18th fairway and green, could be less objectionableto the golfing community andthe adjoining property owners. Thisdirection would best minimize the delay (avoiding the necessity of initiating thezone district amendment from its inception) and could permit the "I'own to proceed with its activity at the close of the golfing season. Summarv: While there aze other legal objections to the proposal currently before the Council, the fact that the public hearing onsecond reading of the proposedordinance is to be eontinued makes it appropriate to spaze the Council the necessity of dealing with those issues at thistime. Mr. Hilliard is optimistic, based upon recent communications with the Town staff, that a resolution of this chaltenge may be identified and implemented, and we hope that there is a basis for that optimism. Based upon the current proposal, the application before the Town of Vail must be denied for both substantive and legal reasons, but there can be little question that it must be denied. Mr. Hilliard, and those who shaze his concems, submit that it is the Town's duty to be certain that activities motivated by its own perceived needsand agenda aze undertaken only with appropriate recognition andrespect for the legitimate rights and expectations of its residents and property owners. The residents and property owners of the golf course neighborhood expect and deserve the Town's recognition and protection of those rights. 5/7/2013 h-1c.

As our children grew, so did our need for space. We hadalways admired Sunburst Drive during our valks to and from the Vail Village, the beautiful homes, the quiet street and ali adjacent to thegolf course were an ideal combinationfor us. In 1992 we purchased ourstunninggolf course property at 1835 SunburstDrive. We paid a premium, because of where the home is located, our back decks overlooking the 18`h green, which is adjacent to the area p stposed for the zone district amendment. We are avid golfers, snowshoers and cross country skiers; immensely enjoying everything this property and what the current outdoor recreation zoning ourproperty has had to offer. it has long been a place where we have cherished spending time with our children and now grandchildren. As our family has grown, so have our interests and ourtime has become more limited. We are not able to spend as rnuch tirne in Vail as we would like. We have seen the reaf estate market recover to a degree and soin January 2012 wedecided to try to seil this home arrd potentially downsize sornewhere else in the vailey. The lack ofsnow fall during the 2011/2012 ski season did not give us theamount of traffic as we obviously had hoped for. The proposed zone district amendment would now be catastrophic to our effort. !t great y diminishesourabilityto seli this home. I would compare thisproposed plan to taking an ocean front hotel room and turning it into a room with a parking lot view, or into a room which overlooked, and therefore was to overhear, the noiseand disturbance of an event venue. We have not had a valuation done on what this would do to our property value, but will do so, if needed. It is incomprehensible thatthe individuals who planned this proposal could have the audacity to think that this was a good idea and would an acceptableequitable solution for the surrounding property owners. The potential loss in home value, destruction of our views, loss in quality ofgolf, snowactivities, event traffic and noise are simply unacceptable to us if you were to change to a Generat Use Zone District. Although this Council may have no intention of changing the use to anything more aggressive than parking (which is pretty aggressive in and ofitself), any future Council could convert the propertyto any number of uses which would effectivelydestroy the use of our property for residentialpurposes. We are in full agreement that clubhouse needs to be renovated, but slapping a parking lot down in the middle of the 18`" green, andchanging the zoning designationof theproperty to permit a wide range of otherdestructive uses, is pointless, absurd and offensive. We are fully prepared to take anyactions necessary to insure that the currently proposed plan does not happen. It is our sincerehope that the amendment is reconsidered and revised to an agreeable solution for all parties involved.

Their comment, "if you don't like it youneed toattend the Town Counal meeting on July 3rd." Comments from the REC Board included, "you don't seem to have much support to save #18," even though 25-30 people attended their meeting two weeksago and40-50 letters to the editor all denounced their poorly conceived idea of changing # 18 to a grassy special events tent venue and a parking lot. The fact that the Townowns the land and the REC District runs the facility doesn't get the REC Board members off thehook. The REC District met (n a closed door meeting on June 21 to, "meet with their attorney to discuss their lease with the Town." Out of that meetingthey drafted a position letter to Town Council supporting their clubhouse design and the destruction of #18. The REC 8oard voted to maiV that letter last night even though it wasn't even on the agenda to be discussed. The bottom line is mark your calendar for July 3rdon Tuesday at 6PM to attend the Town Council meeting. MAYBE the Town Council willunderstand the primary objective of a golf course is the quality of golf, not special events. The golf course is a major tourist attractlon and a hugerevenue source during the summermonthsand compromising it 5/7/2013 for weddings and meetings only takes away business from the locai hotels and restaurants that alreadyownmeeting space. alz Buc bY 4ai11Ye5c?rt c ntal, Irrc. l%V _.:T !!f.1'.lJ ?ifV i__No-xf. 4;:ailfZt1s rtRer C?!s. com S`c3r /it?i3! r'ts3tt', 1!Y 7U-if'6-6?. r wlv, i;tar,'ealEst te.cc rn 5/7/2013 Tammy Nagel Frort: Pam Brandmeyer Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 4:32 Ph1 T,: Grg Hail; Matt Miie; Ge rga Ruther; Eil!

Years ago, 1 recallbeing encouraged to entertain if not support and certainly we should not oppose the redevelopmentof the Golden Peak area to allow for better facilities for the ski schooland access to the mountain. We were toldthatthe only way this could happen was if residential development was also allowed to payfor the improvements. Why didn't the share holder ofVailResorts pay fortheirimprovementsfor theircommercialenterprise? We stupidly acquiesced feeling that we didn't want to stand in the wayof progress. No sooner was the construction finished than unforeseen issues arose and eversince the Vail Resorts and the TOV has rudely ignored the neighborhoods legitimate concerns. Traffic is horrendous at prime times making it dangerous to cross the street. When I was pres+dent of the All SeasonsCondominiumAssociation for a decade I wouldwrite annually to the TOV requesting a pedestrian cross walk be put in so that the Association Members, our children and the public did not have to run a gauntlet ofspeeding cars to get to themountain. Wewere ignorednot only by the TownCouncil, Vail Resorts, but every other municipal planning department in the Town. Now the issueof tra c congestion is before you again and rather than address a community wide traffic issue you fast track a new Ski Club Vail facility for the benefit of whom? The business interests in the Vail Valley. Certainly not to benefit of the neighborhood which is already suffering from your poor planning. TheTown's valetparking whichsomehow morphedinto existence, which was never considered at the time a d in retrospect wasreally disallowed because there was never supposed to be transient parking located at Golden Peak Is now being touted a revenue producingfor the Town. Further, it was noted that the new Golden Peak facility polluted thenight time with thelightthat emanated fromthe garage. It took 5 yearsbefore we were able to persuade Vail Resorts to replace the substandardtrees thatwere used as screening and accepted by the Town. Not surprisingly the Town Council atthe timewas totallyindifferent to our issue as they havebeen with just about any neighborhoodconcerns in any part of Town. Now some enlightenedindividuals are proposing black topping the golf course, destroying private property valuesof adjacent homes, the area aesthetics so thatthe Town orfriends of the Town can in someway profitfrom a business enterprise in a strictly residential and recreational area andadd more traffic to the area. Unfortunately, I will not be in Vai) on July 3 to share with you how I really feel about another of your ill advisedschemes to destroy Vail. 5/7/2013 Hopefully the public backlash of thetax a erswill be such that o will abandon this folly. Rest assured that I wiil make o a end a Town ouncil meeting the n x ime 'm in Vail to share my thoughts a out this as weli as on many other planning matters induding the hospital debacle hat is being ente tained to the detriment of another established residential neighborhood.

I am making every attempt to beat every meeting, but notbeing a full-time resident cunently it is difficult to do so. This project directly hurts myquality of life as well as significantly impacting my property value. I truly hope you will do the right thing in preservingwhat is left of our valley. There are other options t retain the 18th greenand the magniticence of the golf course. Curtis and Kris Olson Our names are Curtis and Kris Olson. We own the home at1785 Sunburst Drive. The home is located directly behind the 18th green, first homenext to the Vail Golf course parking lot. We and our neighbors are very concemed about the proposed plan for the golf course parking. I attended the planning meeting to express my concerns during the rezoning votewhere NO planswere presented. I will not be ableto attend the townmeeting this coming week for I'll be out of town. The proposal to remove the 18th green and replace it with a pazking lot will: 1. Significantly impact my property value. And Imean significantly. 2. Significantly impact my quality of life. Concerns:: l. The parkingplan is to add a 35 space lot on the 18th green which is an inerementaladdition of only 19 parking spaces a. f-Iave all options been explored b. Why not allow for street parking to accommodatelarge events c. Valet cars on the driving range where there isno impact to homes and more space available. This could be 100 parking spaces d. Expandthe parking lot between the12th reen and 13th tee box and shuttle patrons. This could be used in the winter by snowshoers, ice climbers, nordic skiers e. Expandthe lot at thesoccer field. You could shorten hole 6 to accommodatemore spots. Spots could be used in the winter for skiers and Vail Resort employees f. Utilize Ford park parking and the city bus system which is one of the best in the country g. Utilize Public Works parking lot on the other side of the frontage road on weekends h. Haveout of town patrons utilize hotel shuttles which all the higher end hotels have. Removing precious green space to replace with asphalt in a town that is so lacking in green space would be a tragedy. A net add of 19 spots will not allow for a golf tournament and event at the same time. So why do it? 5/7/2013 2. There is a landscape proposal to block our view of the ne v parkinb lot, which based on how our home is situated will not completely block the vie,v.

On behai` of Sta rfireCampany Limited, ? am authorized to state that Starfire and its owners strongly onject to the proposed action. The Vail Municipal Code establishes the criter}a for denying or approving a zone district amendment. The proposal violates each and every one of thosecriteria, as follows; 1} The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent with all theapplicabieelements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive planand is compatible with the development objectives of the town - Response - It fs irnpossible for us to believe that there is anything in any comprehensive plan which suggests that any part of the Vail golf course is to be converted to a parking area, events center, or put toany other active use permitted (with or without conditions) in theGenerai Use zone district. 2) The extent to which the zone district arnendment is suitable withthe existing and potential land uses on the siteand existing and potential surrounding land uses as set out in the town's adopted plann(ng documents- Response - The conversfon ofthe parcel to General Use zone districtwould confilct with the residential uses of the adjoining property in manyways - noise, vehicular air pollution, destruction of quality of life and the abilityof residents to enjoy their property being examples. 3) The extent to which the zone district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workabie relationship amongland uses consistent with municipal developmentobjectives - Response - The proposal is totally in conflict with the residential nature of the adjoining property and municipal development objectives of the Town of Vail do not (or at least should not) inciude the destruction of the environment orlife experience of adjoining residents - full-time and part-time - which would be the effect of thisproposal. 4) The extent to which the zone district amendrnent provides for the growth of an orderly viable community and does not constitute spot zoning as the amendment serves thebestinterests of the community as a whole - Response - The proposal does not provide for growth of an orderly viable community but would effectively destroypart of a long-established viable neighborhood. 5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or beneficial impacts on the naturalenvironment, including, but not limited to, water quality, air quality, noise, vegetation, riparian corridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features - Response -The proposal would destroy the naturalenvironment with specific reference to air quality, noise, vegetation and other desirable natural features. 6} The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent wlth the purpose statement of the proposed zone district - Response - the statement of the proposed General Use zone district indicates 5/7/2013 that the purpose ofthatdistrict is te provide "sites for pu lic and quasi-puh(ic ses vhich ... cannot be zp ropriately re ulated by thedeveiopment standarr s prescribed far atner zc nin istricts" and "is in`ended to ensure that public buildings ard brounds ... are ap ropriately locat ci ndrlesi,5ried to m et he needs o"r rpsidents and visitors to Vail; to harmanize vith su roundii7g i.ses.' Each of ihes star dards is violated in the case of tl is propa al. 7j The extent to vhich the zone district amendmentdemonstrates how conditions have changed since thezoningdesignation of the subject property was adopted and is no longer appropriate - Response - No changes have occurred since thecurrent zoning designation was assigned to the subject parcel which would justify theproposed change'in zone district designation, permitting a wide range of uses incompatiblewith the adjoining properties and neighborhood. 8) Such otherfactors and criteria as the commission and/or council deem applicabie to the proposed rezoning - Response - There are no other factorsor criteria which are applicable to the subject parcel or to this proceeding and whfch justify the proPosed action. Based upon this analysis, the principals of Starfire CompanyLimited, as an adjoining property owner, request that the Council deny the proposed changein zone districtdesignation.

We own thehome at 1785 Sunburst Drive. Thehome is located directly behind the18thgi'een; first home next to the Vail Golf course. We our neighbors are very concemed aboutthe proposed plan for the golf course parking. I attended the planningmeeting to express my concerns during the rezoning vote where NO plans were presented. I will not be able to attendthe town meeting this coming week for I'll be out of town. The proposal to remove the 18th green and replace it with a parking lot will: l. Significantly impact myproperty value. And I mean siguficandy. 2. Significandy impact my quality of life. Concems:: 1. The parking plan is to add a 35 space lot onthe18th green which is an incremental addition of only 19 parking spaces a. Have all options been explored. b. Why not allow for street parkingto accommodatelarge events c. Valet cars on the driving range where thereis no impact to homes and more space available. This could be 100 parking spaces d. Expundthe parking lot between the12thgreen and 13th tee box and shuttle patrons. This could beused in the winter by snowshoers, ice climbers, nordic skiers e. Expand the lot at the soccer field. You wuld shorten hole 6 to accommodate more spots. Spots could be used in the winter for skiers and Vail Resort employees f. Utilize Ford park parking andthe city bus systecn which is one of the best in the country g. Utilize Public Works parking lot on the other side of the frontage road on weekends h. Have out of town patrons utilize hotel shuttles whichall the higher end hotels have. Removing preciousgreen space toreplace with asphalt in a town that is so lacking in green space would be a tragedy. A netadd of 19 spots will not allowfor a golf toumament and event at the same time. So why do it? 2. There is a landscape proposal to block our view of the new parking lot, which based on how our home is situated will not completely block the view, If it does, it will block my entire view from our basement den, living areas, deck and master bedroom. No landseape plan will comecloseto replacing our current situation. 3. There does not seem to be a management plan for the new property. In summary, I lovethis town and the commitment the city has had to improve and preserve its great culture. I'm a big fan of improving the golf club house but the parking plan has not been thoughtthrough. There are many better options for the city and the facility tomeet their needs. Removing a beautifut green space that is currently a signature piece of property for a NET GAINof 19 pazldng spots is not in thebestinterest of anybody. Our family and property is obviously directly impacted and hurtby this proposal. i ii izoiz 4-7-1 5/7/2013 Thank you for your time and your service to our community big and small. I ask thatyouconsider more cost effective, creative alternatives before proceeding with your current plan.

We understandthat it is the subject of the current proceeding to change the zone district ofthat Town pazcel from the Outdoor Recreation zone district to the General Use zone district. We oppose this change. Our family purchased this home with the understanding and the assurance that ourproperty and the surroundings would always remain zoned O.R. and a geen area. This was entirely logical considering the long history of the Vail golf course and the importance of the golf course (particularly the 18`h hole in its current configuration) to the attraction of Vail as recreational destination during the summermonths. The cunent zoning, which was designedto assure the community of the perpetuity of that use and has been relied upon by the neighborhood as a whole, is essential for ourneighborhood well being and our property values. We believe there is NO legitimate or justifiable reason to change this zoning. We highly value our ability to sit on our deck and enjoy mountain views in peace and quiet. Our use of this property would be severelyhampered with a pazking lot and a possible "events cente' S0-70feet frorn oux deck. There will be an increase in noise, changes made to the natural environment, and security issues that we would have to deal with- how would you like that? Any other uses perrnitted in a General Use zoning azea are equally distressing. Again, we strongly protest a change from OutdoorRecreation Useto General Use zoning for the property adjacent to the 18` green! There is no justification for a change there-----we would approve of and enjoy the remodeling of the Clubhouse and change in zone district under the current footprint of that redevetopment project. For these reasons, we are convinced that the currentproposal for conversion of property from the Outdoor Recreation zone district tothe General Use zone district should be denied.

After listening to the various presentations, here's what you are not being told by the studies. First of all golf like any other athletic activity has inherent risks. Take skiingfor example, you will never safety proof the mountain just as you will never safety proof the golf course. Being both a skier and a golferin Vail sincethe fall of 89 when I moved herehas given me insights that don'tappear in the "professional studies." Anyone vhoplays golf knows that you can be hit by an errant golf ball anywhere on the course or nearby for that matter at any time. The so called danger zone on the 18th fairway is just one of many. "I'he club that you use determines how far the ball goes. The study only considers the driver. We have all hit a 9 iron or 8 iron over the net fiom the driving range and the balls land either onthe club house or in the parking area. You could string steel cable from the top of every post across the driving area and cover the range with netting to contain the balls, but that is only one area of the course. Hole nurnber one tee shots can go left across thestreet and hit cars, people on bikes and the townhouses or they can go right and land on golferscomming up the9th fairway. Hole number 4 tee shots can hit homes, people and cars left and right there. Hole number 5 you can hit people comming up the 6th fairway with a slice. Hole number 7 you can hit peopieteeing off on the 8th tee box. You can slice your tee shot from the8th tee box and the balls can land on people on the 2nd green. On the 9th tee you can slice your shot back to the first green and fairway. This happens every day that the course is open.l-iole number 12 you can hit people on the16th fairway. Hole number I 3 you can hit someoneon the14th fairway and from the 14th tee you can slice the ball back to the 13th fairway. Eiole number 16, you can hit people on the 12th fairway. On the 18th tee you can hit someone on the 11 th tee box. It's the nature of the game. Thesaf sssue on the 18th fairway is just a crutch to push an a enda to relocate the 18t] you sh>>1 1 rnncj] r,s t er g_ space or t e eventcenter on a lazge scale ocation. Vh don'tou use waste land area on the south ' irwa or nter? It a so has a nice view of the Gore Range. Thanks for listening.

Because it is unrealistic to expect anyone to be ableto deal with each of those reasons within a two- or three-minuteopportunity at a Council (or Board) meeting, it seems necessary to provide you with a written analysis of the various problems with the aetion which is under consideration. That analysis is attaehed, We hope that you will have an opportunity to review these thoughts and concerns before the Council meeting onthe 17th of July (and, with referenceto the VRD Board, before its meeting tomorrow, the 12th of July), and that the concerns and issues raised will cause both the Council and the $oard to reverse the course of action which will be under discussion. If either any members of the Council or the Board, or any members of the Town staff, has any c uestions, you may contact me. Thank you foryour attention.to these concerns.

Mr. Hilliard's property and residence adjoin the propertywhere that action is proposed. Mr. Hilliazd has been joined byother residents of Sunburst Drive who aze owners and/or residents of properties adjacent to thethreatened area, and as a group they have attempted to identify for the benefit of the Council and the Vail Recreation District the many reasons which warrant abandonment of the current plan. The points and concerns expressed by :tr. Hilliard and other owners directly to Council are generally shared by all and should be considered by Council to be a united opposition to the current plan. It is the position of Mr. Hilliard and his neighborsthatno condition exists which warrants the relocation of the 18thgreen and fairway from their current location. Toconvert this area to an azea devotedto event gatherings, or gatherings of virtually any other public nature, would constitute a nuisanceto the adjoining residences and a violation of the covenant which affects this property. For thesereasons, among others, Mr. Hilliard and his neighbors respectfully request that the 18th green and fairway be left in their current configuration. It was originally our understanding that the action proposed for the 18th green and fairway was based upon the perceived need for construction of additional parking and an outdoor events venue in connection with an expansion of the Vail golf course clubhouse. At the Council meeting onthe 3rd of July, the focus with referenceto the need to take the proposed action seemed to shift tosafety and a perceived mandate related to the vote approving the expenditure 5/7/2013 t x,;sc 1lec ed tor a conference ccnte r. For that reasan, lhis 3ett r deals grimarily th thase t o subjects ti5 ith which the Co u cil e.ems to be concerned. Safety: The Council has identified three areas of concem with reference to safety, none of which constitute existing problems warranting the destruction and relocation of the18th green and thewestemthirdofthe1Sthfairway. These areas of concern are (1) gotf balls from the driving range landing on the 18th fairway, (2) the proximity of residences adjacent to 18th green andthe western part of the 18th fairway, and (3) thedanger posed to a proposed commercial events venue east and/orsouth of theclubhouse. For the reasons noted below, none of these reasons warrantthe action under consideration. 1. - golf balls from the driving range landingon the 18th fairway - T'he Town's expert in golf course design has indicatedthat golf balls hit from the driving range sometimes land on the18thfairway, and that, for this reason, the portion of the18th fairway affected should be deactivated as a fairway. There are at least ihree problems with this logic. a. Although the expert did not display the results of anystudy on the north side of the driving range, the effect of the existence of the driving range on the lOth fairway to the north of the range is iikely identical to the effect on the 18th fairway. If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then the same logic dictatesthat the impact azea on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and thehole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b, The approachunder consideration would effect'tvely "sterilize" the impact areas onthe 18th fairway against any use whatsoever. The impact azea would become a vacuumwhere no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate ovmed by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacuum, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will notlong remain unused, it must be observed that virlually any use of that ground will create greater riskfor the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such existing hazard would beincreased by a factor of ten times (20 vs. 200) if the Town were to take the direction currently proposed. This impact would be aggravated by the fact that, while golfers almost certainly would have assumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in the sport, persons attending an event would not be subject to such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 In r;alit r, Che minirnal anc tieetin tlreatposed t gal:S.'e,rs onthe lOtli :nd 1 Bth tainvay suf;te ts tl:at nu chanoe w hats ever is reyuired tothe cnrrent cc;n#iguration f the g If caurs or h usc «f conventional ;olf batls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, at some point in the future the Town will certainlyidentify a need for this area and will concludethat there is only one answer to the broader problecn. A change in the ] 8th fairway andgreendeal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the I Oth fairway or the virtual certainty of alternative uses for the part of the l 8th fairway proposed for abandonment. The "Town controls the balls used on the driving range, and it is the height and distance traveled by those balls which creates the threat, to theextent any threat exists. The only universalsolution to the perceivedthreat isthe conversion of the driving rangeto theuse of golf balls which travel a shorter distanceand, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to cleaz the fenee surrounding the ciriving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whether this action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then this action is inevitable, and because the 18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point intime to change the range ball supplyto shorterdistance balls is now. 2, - the proximity of residences adjacent to 18thgreenand the westem part of the18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believesthat golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can stray onto the residential properties adjacent to the westem part of that fairway. The residents indicate that this rarely occurs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these owners who aze objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact that they may be affected by the activity on the golf course. "I hese people live next to the golf course so that they canhave theexperience of being nextto the golf course, andthey recognize that there is a riskinvolved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of trus concem is the fact that relocation of the 18th greenand elimination of the western part of the 18th fairway will not eliminate the risk with which the Town is concerned. Rather the proposed action will shif that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These aze properties whose owners have had no notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regardingwhether they do or do not wish to assume the risk which the owners and residentsaround the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortabte. Becausethe risk with which the Town is concemed is not eliminated butis shiRed to those who are not now under that risk, without their knowledge, this safety argument is without any logic. 5/7/2013 3, -,he daciber pused to an events enue east an'or satxtiz cif the clubllause - F:rceivr;d r:sk to an ever cs enue east and or south of the clubh use has a.t least three ccntral prc blerns. a. First, this perceived risk is not aow in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council and the Vail Recreation District create an outdoor eventsvenue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any eventsvenue, or by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop but protected or (iii} exterior butprotected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, becausethe currently proposedeventsvenue does notnow exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact fTOm some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to the proposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an events venue onthe part of the 18th fairway will actually. increase any exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating onthe driving range, ratherthan eliminate that risk. For the reasons noted above, none of rationales relied upon by the Town warrant or necessitatethe destruction or relocation of the l8th green and fairway. Voter mandate: The 'Town has on several occasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conference center funds has given it a cleaz direction to create an exterior events center in the area of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involved in the development of the ballot questionor the related planning may have been awaze that an cxtemal event center was part of someone's plan, the ballot question did not reflect any such proposed direction or plan. The best information available indicates that the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remaining convention center funds for the Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the bailot question in no way indicatedthat the program would involve or require the destruction and/or appropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use o£the word "including" clearly indicatesthat the expansion and improvement ofthe clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the eommunity space would be interior to and/or a part of the clubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmedthis populazreading and understanding of the proposal. 4 5/7/2013 I'E,e T'o 1 hasreeei ed no oternlandate for the cle;tr.ictic n or elocatierel 7f anJ part of the lSth faiR*ay or the 18thgteen. Qther Considerations: ppart from the lack of justifiiaiia least four other ons de ations wh'tchP quire e gth hole of the Vail golf course, there ex s withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenants associated with the 1984 d,ehicl incu deshhe 8th hole fo rany p pose subject property prohibit the use of the property a other than a"public golf courseor ope for tho e urposes'eThe colnversion oflpart of thls stl h other related support facilities required se of puttin "heads in beds" is a commercial use property into an events center for the purpo P g whichviolates that covenant. That covenant wasand is enforceableby the successorsandcssignsofthePulisRanchCompany. Availableinforrnation indicates that theowners of thepropertiesonSunburstDriveazesuccessorsandassignsofthePulisRanchCompanyentitled to enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does not ' of the olther rotee Poolvmers tbbe determ n d to enforce that covenant, nor do I understand any PP' takesuch a direction. If, however, the formerPulis Ranch property is converted to a use whichviolatesthatcovenant, he, or any of his neighbors, may be compeltedtoconsiderthat course of action as the only available remedy. A second concern is the fact that virtually any use of the part of the18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be converted to a use incOof Si st e`cu az oncem ability of the neighboring property owners to yuietly enjoy their property. P is the virtualcertainty that noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute anuisancetotheneighboringpropertiesundthattheproximityoflazgenumbersofpeoplein thisareawillresultinaninvasionofprivacy. The golf coursewas conveyed to the Town of Vail andestablishedaspartofanoverallplanforihatgolfcourse, open space or park for the benefit of ihe neighboring properties. T res ect of th orig nalc ovenant ornotherwise ntinuing recognition of this plan, whether through p Anotherconsideration isthe reality that, if the Town closes part of the 18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate othersimilaz sinunderthe t e of the 16th hole, then the Town fairway orto pedestrian and bicycle traffic pas g will have ef ectively acknowledged theexistence of a threat at one location without havinn u edt appropnately with the threats at otherlocations wherethe same threats exist. tlny partY l in one of those virtually identical situations would have an easier case demonstrating that theTownhasonlyselectivelycorrectedanidentifiedproblem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Towndid not take identical action wherever the perceived threat e cists. 5/7/2013 Finally, it must be recognized lhat () the conv:rsion of pr+lFerties from oif course propertics into properties «hic.h front on acant land ti-nose futur is t irge y un predictabie, ii, b} the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a cc mmercial e ent renue, cunstituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, tivill have a catastrophic effect vn the values of thc properties currently adjacent to the western third of the lSth fair ay. While we have aitempted to focuson the interests of the Town of Vail and the golfing publie, and the fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fauway, the impact on owners and residents who have long relied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmedin the1984deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the1984 deed subject to a covenant whieh was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course &ontage, and the Town has a moral, as well asa legal, obligation to respect that pian and the reliance of owners and residents on thatplan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of his neighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 1 Sth fairway and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect the interests of the Town of Vail whileinsuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliazd would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concem with respect to errant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject tothis covenant is subject to an easement permitting golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacent to the golf course, and theowners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successorsand assigns, shall make any claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Itecreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury or property damage resulting from such errant golf balls being unintentionally hit onto any of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relieve golfers of liability for damage caused byerrant golf balls. " With reference to any perceived threat from the driving range, it has been suggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventing conventional balls &om carrying over the fence which surrounds the driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving rangethat their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over the fence, then this might be an effective step in preventingerrant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be required to reconfigtue the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 Summarv; As noied in the previ us co ru lunze,atton to the Co.incil an bel7alf of 1 Sr. iiilliar i in connection with the proposed zone district a nendment, we suhmit that it is the 'I'otivn's duty to be certain that activitiesmotivated byits own perceived needs andagenda are undertaken only vith appropriate recognition and respect for the tegitimate rights and expectations of its residents and praperty owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishes to thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concems, the concems of his neighbors, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importanceto all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Ir.

Glenn Hilliard July 12, 2012 Town Council Town vf Vail Vail, Calorado Re: Potenriat changes in the Vai! Golf Course Thankyou again For allowing public input in regard to the Vail Golf Course and Clubhouse redesign and rezoning. In addition to the points made in our letter of June 26, 2012, and to thepointspreviously and currently made by our Sunburst Drive neighbors and bythe attorneys who are representing the neighhors who adjoin the area of the 18 green, we would like foryou to also consider the following points prior to making any decision on how toproceed with any changes to the 18' green and fairway or to the clubhouse. The money, which is now availableto the Town of Vait, is significant butlimited, and it should be used in a way which delivers on the expectations and maximizes the real and incremental value forthe residents, homeowners and taxpayers of Vail. Neither the current plan nor any of the publicly suggestedchanges to those plans are what voters acted upon nor do they maximize the return on investrnent The available moneX is best spent building a wor d-class clubhouse, which contains internal and connected mul-use space designed to he used for a varlety of purposes. These timited dollars should be spent as the voters approved them, not wasted in rnovingthe 18 fairway and green nor in creatlng an unneeded venue" space. lf these monies are Eocused on dubhouseimprovements rather than changing fairways and greens, there is much more opportunity to'derive income and community value from a top notch clubhouse, with such uses as a restaurant, coffee shop, separate bar and grill, locker rooms, and a stop for bikers than there is in trying to create through a new outsidevenue new income for the Town of Vail or addidonal `heads in beds" for the retail businesses oFVail. In and around Vail therealready exist more than a half dozen more desirable and not fully utilized venues for weddings and other events. Adding another outdoor venue onthe current 18 fairway and green area is not needed, is poorly conceived and is a waste of taxpaye's money. Importantty, the move of the 18 green also creates a reduction in value of the Vaii Golf Courseand a substandal reduction in the value of thehomes adjoining the 18 fairway and green. Page 1 of 3 27gp peach ee Nwd it505 — Atlaata. GA 30305 OPQee 404-745•9770 rslennhilliardAaol.com 7l17/2012 4-7-97 5/7/2013 The use of thIs area as outdoor venue space is clearly not optimal. [n addition to creating potential problems and unhappyinterfaces between golfers and venue users, and between venue users and adjaining homeowners, you should also recognize that the substantial road noise, which is okay for galfers, is not okay for weddings or ather outdoor events. 3. The target capacity of any multi-use venue space should be reduced to 75-125 people and it should be enclosed or enclosable inpoor weaEher or for safety. This is an optirnalnumber For a multiuse facility which should primarily serve as restauranh space, so that Vait is not paying to maintain space which stands empty and unused the majority of the time. Any need for °outside or patio° space should also be permanent, enclosabieandattached to the clubhouse to allow for the continuationofuse of the 18 hole and green as currently configured and the continued use oi'the driving range. This °internal" sgace arrangement witl alleviate issues of road noise, crowds and confusion from sharing outside space, avofd creating a legal nuisance to adjoining homeowners and eliminate the risk of harm or injury to venueattendees. As a reference point, the current clubhouse dining roomaccommodated comfortably the 11S peoplewho attended the wedding rehearsal dinner for our daughter, Nancy, which was held inthat venue in January2000. 4. An outside venue is not a good business for this locatlon. I serve on the board of Brookgreen Gardens, the largest ou[door figurative scul pture garden inthe U.S., and on many weekends it is utilized as a wedding venue. [n fact, our youngest daughter Glenn, was married there. When the cost of promotion, maintenance, . cleaning and preparing, and providing a liaison for wedding ptanners and sub- contractors for tents, music, etc. is factored into this, it is barely a positive contributor to the bottomline for Brookgreenand onlyprofitable at all because the use is limited to thelargest contributorsto Brookgreen. Once again, we support but do not reiterate all the comments and letters provided by neighbors and others who oppose the ideas ofmoving the 18th green or creating an outdoor venue. We support the substantial improvement of the golF and nordic clubhouse and lea ringthe 18' green and fairway where they are today. To do otherwise is a complete failureta abide by the wishes of the Vail voters and is a violation of trust with neighbors and a violation of specific covenants which havebeen relied upon for decades. Thisis not a venue suitable for outdoor events, and it is an outdoor venue whtch is unneeded and will neither add revenues to the Townof Vail nor deliver meaningful additional heads in beds" to our Vail businesses.

On thrs date, the Council is scheduled to deal with two matters, one being the follow-up to the meeting onthe 4th of September, andthe otherbeing an update on project design. Accordingly, this Memorandum will be limited to the history of this project to date and the design of the project. l. The Town has received a good many comments which almost universally oppose the projectfor the clubhouse and 18th hole as conceived. No action should be taken to destroy or in any way change the 18th hole of the golf course until everything is sorted out and there is a final determinationregarding 5/7/2013 whether the 18th hole inust be modified in order to accommodate the actual plans for the Clubhouse which are finally approved and authorized. It has been demonstrated through the submittal of alternative plans that the clubhouse can be improved with expanded area in a way which preserves the orientation of the golf- related activities toward the current 18th green and which preserves the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, and which saves the Town something in the range of a million dollars on connection with the activities related to the 18th hole alone. No one understands the Town's determination to destroy the golf course and the neighborhood, unlessthe purpose is to simply demonstrate that the Town cannot be defied. Those in the neighborhood would prefer to believe thatthis is not the case. 2. Some in the neighborhood have suggested that the Council look toits inission statement and related principals. These include the following: Your mission is to provide to the citizens of Vail, as well as your guests, superior services, and outstanding environmental stewardship. Is the destruction of a central feature of the golf courseand a neighborhood consistent with thatmission? Your values and commitmentsinclude respect, trust, integrity and collaboration andthe provision of transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility. Is the process of ramming this project down the throats of the golf community as well as the affected residents an example of those values? Is the violation of your commitmentregarding the use of the conference center funds last August an example of that transparency and accountability? Isthe unnecessary expenditure of what will almost certainly be inore than a million dollars an example of that fiscal responsibility? The neighborhoodthinks not, and the golf communitythinks not. 3. The Town has asked the Sunburst Drive residents tocommunicate their concerns about the Golf Course project to the Council. The Staff prepared a project issues report" that purportsto representthe concerns of the residents. The Town's summary of the list of issues was presented at the last Council meeting 2 5/7/2013 for input from the residents, now that this input has been received, the Town Council is avoiding any mentionor discussion of these concerns, despite the fact that the Council agenda and related materialindicated and currently indicates that the entire purpose of theprocess is to get feedback from the Council. This process hardly demonstratesany real effort by the TownCouncil even to consider the concerns of the residents orto let the community know either why the Town is so determined to create a projectwhich creates such universal animosity or why the Town is so determined to ruin one of the most desirable areas of the Valley. 4. It is becoming increasingly evident that the intended intensity of use of the events center will bean aggravation of the nuisance which has become an increasing problem for the neighborhood. This isn't something which the neighborhood has accepted in silence. Attempts havebeen made to get relief throughpolice, but the police, though courteous, have been limited to solving problemsafterdisruptions have occurred. The disruptions to the nei hborhood and the nuisance have continued, andthe police have better things to do than spend their time dealing with unruly event attendees. It has beensuggested that events will be held 100 timesper year. This would be twice each week if the events were evenly distributed, but that's unlikely. The most intense use probably will be in the active seasons - winter and summer. If events are to be permittedin the reconstructed clubhouse, theevents should be limited so that the residents and neighborhood can have some peace. Events should be limited to not more than four times each month, with not more than two events each week. Even that disruption would be a nuisance which would destroy the quality of life in the neighborhood, but it would be significantly better then the unbridled use which someone apparently has in mind. Thedesign of the new clubhouse isn't a single-meeting agenda item to be dealt with on thebasis of plans which were developed through momentum created by an extended period of in-house efforts uneffected by and not involving either the golf community or the neighborhood. The proj ectneeds to go backto the fundamentals. What can be done in order to create a clubhouseconsistent with the representations of the Council and the Town which resulted in the approval of the 2011 ballot issue and in a manner which leaves unaffected a golf course configurationwhich is valued by both the golf community and the neighborhood. This can be done. We have shown you how it can be done. There is no reason for 3 5/7/2013 the Town to be so determinedthat it must be done in the destructivemanner which is now the planned course of action. The Sunburst neighborhood requests thatthe clubhouse plans, which are the catalyst for most of the problems involvedin this project, be abandoned and that the Town go back and initiate that processbased upon the premise that nothing will happento any part of the 18th hole. xc: Sunburst Neighborhood Respe tfully; Arthur A.

My role on behalf of these owners and residents is to try to facilitate a resolution of the current conflict between these owners and residents onthe one hand and the Town and Recreation District on the other. On the 24th of July, the Town staff had a work session with concerned residents andowners of the Sunburst neighborhood to discuss the proposal for the clubhouse. First, the Council should be aware of the fact that those on whose behalf I speak appreciated this effort, and the effort of the majority of the Council who attended that meeting. Had such a meeting occurred earlier, it's possible that none of us would be in the position of trying to put back in the bottle a genie who has taken on a Iife of its own. 5/7/2013 At the July meeting, the Town's staff heard the determination of the Sunburst neighborhood to oppose the current proposal to destroy the westem third of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course in order to convert theclubhouse to an event center. At least two other noteworthy events occurred at that time. First, the Town staff, and at least six of the seven members of the Council who were present, had a first-hand experience with the congestion and conflict in uses which arise when an attempt is made to use theclubhouse as an event center at the same time it is being used as a golf clubhouse. Althoughonly about thirty people were present in connection with the work session, traffic and congestionboth outside and witl in the clubhouse was a mess. The addition of 200 square feet and an expanded patio to the clubhouse will substantially increasethe congestion and the conflict between the current uses and will result in mayhem and substantial risk of injury (other than by golf balls) to the users of the clubhouse, the golf courseand the bike and walking path. Second, the staff and members of Council present heard the opinion of a g lfing visitor to Vail regarding the effect oi conversion and shortening the 18th fairway - further lessening the challenge and value of the golfing experience on a course which is already permitting teenagers toregularly shoot scores in the mid-60's. This individual registered the same plea as other golfers that the Town not change the 18th hole. The golf course isand should be the "golden goose" of the facility, which should be protected andenhanced, not diminished or reduced in any way. For thesereasons, the Town andthe VRD should re-examine their decisionto destroy the western third of the 18th hole and keep the scale and design of the clubhouse within its current footprint and use. As currently planned, this project is a financial disaster to the Town and to the voters. The Town will lose money onoperationsand spend capital reserves which should be devoted to better uses. The total estimated cost of this project, with the measures intended to address non-existent perceived safety issues, is already approximately $7,400,000, without consideration for contingency for the new safety measures orthe costs of consultants brought on board within recent months to justify the current plans. Although the Town has indicated itsapproval of the destruction of the 18th hole andis moving forward on the efforts to design a clubhouse modified to serve as an event center, the most recent budgetindicates that, even before the decision to spend an additionalunfunded half million dollars to address recently perceived safetyconcerns, the Townwould drain its repair 2 5/7/2013 budget and that of the District, as well as tapping 2013 and 2014 revenues from amenities fees, to generate a total of more than $1,675,000 to cover what would otherwise bea shortfall in the project budget. That shortfall, with provision for contingencies is evengreater. With reference totheperceived safety hazard which supposedly prompts the destruction of the 18th hole, a request farpublic records has established that there has been only one report of a golfer struck by an errant golf ball on the 18th fairway during the last five years - and only three such incidents on the entire golf course - the other incidents being on #6 and on #13. The reasoning which promptsexpenditure of the funds to be committed here, which are ear-marked for other purposes or simply don'texist, is difficult to understand, where this is occurring in order to cure a non-existent safety problem for a project which meets with wholesale objection from the neighborhood and from golfers and violates the Council's commitment made in August, 201 l, as well as the restrictive covenant in the deed from Pulis Ranch Company affecting the land. The current plan also creates chaos in the operation of a facility critical to a golf course which is a central vacation experience of summer visitors to Vail - as well as the experiences of the local golfing community, andis nonsensical. The funds should be used to create a world-class golf clubhouse consistent withVail standards onthe footprint which currently exists, preserving the golf course in its current condition. Insummary, this proposal is a financial and legal nightmare and should be redesigned to do what the community wants and deserves - creating a world-class clubhouse for a golf course of thebest quality possible. The currentproposal makes a popular attraction for Vail less amactive for its users and unnecessarily expends funds in a way which creates problems with congestion which the Council must recognize based upon its recent experience even on the basis of even a minor "event center" function. This current proposal doesn't put head in beds here - it put heads in beds atsome community which has a decent golf course whichfunctions as such. The Sunburst neighborhood remains determined to work with the Town in order to identify a development plan for the golf course club house whieh meets the needs of the golfing community, is consistent with the commitment made to the community, and is consistent with the Pulis covenant and the needs of the 5/7/2013 community. Resolution of this matter can be achieved, but it must be achieved while recognizing the commitments of the Town to those affected by its actions, whether that occurred at the time the golf course was acquired in 1984 or in August, 2011. The Sunburst neighborhood continues to hope to work with the Town towardthat goal.

Mr. Hilliard's property andresidence adjoin the property where thataction is proposed. Mr. Hilliard has been joined by other residents of Sunburst Drive who are owners and/or residents of properties adjacentto the threatened area, and as a group they have attemptedto identify for the benefit of the Council and the Vail Recreation District the many reasons which warrant abandonment of the current plan. The points and concerns expressed by Mr. Hilliard and other owners directly to Council are generally shared by all and should be considered by Council to be a united opposition to the currentplan. It is the position of Mr. Hilliard and his neighbors that no condition exists which warrants the relocation of the18th green and fairway from their current location. To convert this area to an area devoted toevent gatherings, or gatherings of virtually any other public nature, would constitute a nuisance to the adjoining residences and a violation of the covenant which affects this property. For these reasons, among others, Mr. Hilliard and hisneighbors respectfully request that the 18th green and fairway be left in their current configuration. It was originally our understandingthat the action proposed for the 18thgreen and fairway was based upon the perceived need for construction of additionalparking and an outdoor events venue in connection with an expansion of the Vail golf course clubhouse. At the Council meeting on the 3rd of July, the focus with reference to theneed to take the proposed action seemed to shift to safety and a perceived mandate related to the vote approving the expenditure 5/7/2013 of taxes collected for a conferencecenter. For that reason, thisletter deals primarily with those two subj ects with which the Council seems to be concerned. Safety: The Council has identified three areas of concern with reference to safety, none of which constitute existing problems warranting the destruction and relocation of the 18thgreen andthe western third of the 18th fairway. These areas of concern axe (1) golf balls from the driving range landing on the 18th fairway, (2) the proximity of residences adj acent to 18thgreen and the westernpart of the 18th fairway, and (3) the danger posed to a proposed commercial events venue east andlor south of the clubhouse. Far the reasons noted below, none of these reasons warrant the action under consideration. 1. - golf balls from the driving range landing on the 13th fairway - The Town's expert in golf course design has indicated that golf balls hit from the driving range sometimes land on the 18th fairway, and that, for this reason, the portion of the 18th fairway affected should be deactivated as a fairway. There are at least three problems with this logic. a. Although the expert did not display the results of any study on the north side of the driving range, the effect of the existence of the driving rangeon the l Oth fairway tothe north of the range is likely identical to the effect on the18th fairway. If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then the same logic dictates that the impact area on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and the hole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b. The approach under consideration wouldeffectively "sterilize" the impact areas on the 18th fairway againstany use whatsoever. The impact area would become a vacuum where no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate owned by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacuum, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will not long remain unused, it must be observed that virtually any use of that ground will create greater risk for the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the 18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such existing hazard would be increased by a factor of ten times (20 vs. 200) if the Town were to take the direction currently proposed. This impact would be aggravated by the fact that, while golfers almost certainlywould haveassumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in the sport, persons attending an event would not be subject to such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 In reality, the minimal and fleeting threat posed to golfers on the l Oth and 18th fairway suggests that no change whatsoever is requiredto the current configuration of the golf course or the use of conventional golf balls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, at some point in the future the Town will certainly identify a need for this area and will conclude that there is only one answerto thebroader problem. A change in the 18th fairway and green deal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the l Oth fairway or the virtual certainty of altemative uses for the part of the 18th fairway proposed for abandonment. The Town controls the balls used onthe driving range, and it is the height and distance traveledby those balls which creates the threat, to the extent any threat exists. The only universal solution to the perceivedthreat is the conversion of the driving range to the use of golf balls which travel a shorter distance and, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to clear thefence surrounding the driving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whether this action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then thisaction is inevitable, andbecause the18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point intime to changetherange ball supply to shorter distance balls is now. 2. - the proximity of residences adjacentto 18th green and the western part of the18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believes that golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can strayonto the residential properties adjacentto the western part of that fairway. The residents indicate that this rarely occurs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these owners who are objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact that they may be affected by the activity on the golf course. These people live nextto the golf course so that they canhave the experience of being next to the golf course, and they recognize that there is a risk involved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of this concern is the fact that relocation of the 18th green and elimination of the westernpart of the18th fairway will not eliminate the risk with which the Town is concerned. Rather the proposed action will shift that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These are properties whose owners have hadno notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regarding whetherthey do or do notwish to assume the risk which the owners and residents around the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortable. Becausethe risk with which the Town is concernedis not eliminated but is shifted to those who are not now under that risk, without their knowledge, this safetyargument is without any logic. 3 5/7/2013 3. - the danger posed to an events venue east and/ar south of the clubhouse - Perceived risk to an events venue east and/or south of the clubhouse has at leastthree central problems. a. First, this perceived risk is not now in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council andthe Vail Recreation District create an outdoor events venue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any events venue, ar by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop butprotected or (iii) exterior but protected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, because the currently proposed events venue does not now exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact from some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to the proposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an eventsvenue on the part of the 18th fairway will actually increase any exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating on the driving range, rather than eliminate that risk. For thereasons noted above, none of rationales relied upon by the Town warrant or necessitate the destruction or relocation of the 18th greenand fairway. Voter mandate: The Town has on severaloccasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conference centerfunds has given it a clear direction to create an exterior events center in the axea of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involved in the development of the ballot question or the related planning may have been aware that an external eventcenter was part of someone's plan, the ballot question didnot reflect any such proposed direction ar plan. The best information available indicatesthat the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remainingconvention center funds for the Expansion and improvement of the ciccbhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the ballot question in no way indicated that the program would involve or require the destruction andlorappropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use of the word "including" clearly indicates that the expansion and improvement of the clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the community space would be interior to and/or a part of the clubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmed this popular reading and understanding of the proposal. L 5/7/2013 The Town has received no voter mandate for the destruction or relocation of any part of the 18th fairway or the18thgreen. Other Considerations: Apart from the lack of justificationfor the abandonment of the western part of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course, there exist at least four other considerations which require withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenantsassociated with the 1984 deed through which the Town acquired the subject properly prohibit the use of the propertywhich includes the 18thhole for any purpose other than a"public golf course or open space or park for the benefit of the public and only such other related support facilities required for those purposes". The conversion of part of this propertyinto an events center for the purpose of putting "heads in beds" is a commercial use which violates that covenant. That covenant was and is enforceable by the successors and assigns of the Pulis Ranch Company. Available information indicates that theowners of the properties on Sunburst Drive are successorsand assigns of the Pulis RanchCompany entitled to enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does not wish toplaced in the position of being required to enforce that covenant, nor do Iunderstand any of the other property ownersto be determined to take such a direction. If, however, the former Pulis Ranch property is converted to a use which violates that covenant, he, or any of his neighbars, may be compelled to consider that course of action as the onlyavailable remedy. A second concern is the fact that virtually any use of the part of the 18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be convertedto a use inconsistent with the ability of the neighboring property owners to quietly enjoy their property. Of particular concern is the virtual certaintythat noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute a nuisance to the neighboring properties and that the proximity of large numbers of people in this area will result in an invasion of privacy. The golf coursewas conveyed to the Town of Vail and established as part of an overall plan for that golf course, open space or park for the benefit of the neighboring properties. The owners of those properties are entitled to continuing recognition of this plan, whether through respect of the original covenant or otherwise. Another consideration is the reality that, if the Town closes part of the 18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate other similar hazards, such as the threat to golfers on the l Oth fairway ortopedestrian and bicycle traffic passingunderthe tee of the 16th hole, then the Town will have effectively acknowledged the existence of a threat at one location without having dealt appropriately with the threats at other locations where the same threatsexist. Any partyinjured in one of those virtually identical situations would have an easier case demonstrating that the Town has onlyselectively corrected an identified problem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Town did not take identicalaction wherever the perceived threat exists. E 5/7/2013 Finally, it must be recognized that (a) the conversion of properties from golf course properties into properties which front on vacant land whose future is largely unpredictable, and b) the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a commercial event venue, constituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, will have a catastrophic effect on the values of the properties currently adjacent to the western third of the18th fairway. While we have attempted to focuson the interests of the Town of Vail andthe golfingpublic, andthe fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fairway, the impact onowners and residents who have long relied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmedin the 1984 deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the 1984 deed subject to a covenant which was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course frontage, and the Town has a moral, as well as a legal, obligation to respect that plan and the reliance of owners and residents on that plan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of his neighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fainvay and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliard would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concern with respecttoerrant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject to this covenant is subject to an easement permitting golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacentto the golf course, and the owners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successors and assigns, shall make any claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Recreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury ar properiy damage resulting from such errant golf balls being unintentionally hit onto any of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relieve golfers of liability for damage caused byerrant golf balls. " With reference to any perceived threat from the driving range, it has been suggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventingconventional balls from carrying over the fence which surroundsthe driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving range that their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over thefence, thenthis might bean effective step in preventing errant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be requiredto reconfigure the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 Summarv: As noted in the previous communication to the Council on behalf of Mr. Hilliard in connection with the proposed zone district amendment, we submit that it is the Town's duty to be certainthat activities motivated by its own perceived needs and agenda are undertaken only with appropriate recognition and respect for the legitimate rights and expectations of its residents and property owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishes to thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concerns, the concerns of his neighbars, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importance to all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Mr. Matt Mire, Town Attorney Mr. Greg Hall, Director of PublicWorks Mr. Bill Gibson, Department of Community Development 7 5/7/2013 Vail Valley Suite 310 Warner Professional Building 2 Post Office Box 2800 Vail, Colorado 81658-2800 Telephone: 970.476.6500 Telecopier: 970.476.4765 Town Council Town of Vail Vail, Colorado Law Office of ARTHUR A.

If the impact area on the 18th fairway is to be deactivated, then thesame logic dictates that the impact area on the l Oth fairway should be deactivated, and ihe hole should be converted to a par 3, if it can remain in existence at all. b. Theapproach under consideration would effectively "sterilize" the impact areas on the 18th fairway against any use whatsoever. The impact area would become a vacuum where no activity whatsoever could occur. Real estate owned by the Town of Vail doesn't remain a vacutun, whether sterilized or not. c. Finally, in recognizing the fact that any abandoned part of the 18th fairway will not long remain unused, it must be observed that virtually any use of that ground will create greater risk for the Town thanits current risk. For example, where perhaps as many as twenty golfers (five foursomes) briefly travel the 18th fairway during an hour on a busy day, a venue for events would result in 200 or more individuals being exposed to the perceived hazard for an extended period of time. Any such e sting hazard would be increased by a factor of ten times (20vs. 200) if the Town were totake the direction currently proposed. This impactwould be aggravated by the factthat, while golfersalmost certainly would have assumed the risk of injury by errant golf balls while engaged in thesport, persons attending an event would not be subjectto such an"assumption of risk" defense. 5/7/2013 i In reality, the minimal and fleeting threat posed to golfers on the l Oth and 18th fairway suggests that no change whatsoever is required to the current configuration of the golf course or the use of conventional golf balls on the driving range. If part of the 18th fairway is vacated, atsome point in the future the Town will certainly identify a need for this area and will conclude that there is only one answer to the broader problem. A change in the 18th fairway and greendeal with only one aspect of the perceived risk and does not deal with the lOth fairway or the virtual certainty of alternative uses for the part of the 18th fairway proposed for abandoriment. The Town controls the balls used on the driving range, and it is the height and distance traveled by tliose balls which creates the threat, to the extent any threat exists. The only universal solution to the perceived threat is the conversion of the driving range to the use of golf balls which travel a shorter distance and, more importantly, do not attain the height necessary to clearthe fence surrounding the driving range. If there actually is a threat, the question isn't whetherthis action will be taken, but when. If the Council believes a threat exists, then thisaction is inevitable, and because the 18th fairway can be saved only at this time, the point in timeto change the range ball supply to shorter distance balls isnow. 2. - the proximity of residences adjacent to 18th green and the western part of the 18th fairway - The Town's golf course expert believes that golf balls hit from the 18th fairway can stray onto the residential properties adjacent to the western paxt of that fairway. The residents indicate thatthis rarely occt rs. However, a. As previously pointed out, it is these o vners vho are objecting to the relocation of the adjacent fairway and green, notwithstanding the fact thatthey may be affectedby the activity on the golf course. These people live next to the golf course so that they can have the experience of being next to the golf course, and they recognize that there is a riskinvolved. b. Of greater importance in establishing the fallacy of this concern is the fact that relocation of the 18thgreen and elimination of the western part of the 18th fairway will noteliminate the risk with which the Town isconcerned. Ratherthe proposed action will shift that risk to the east, creating an impact area on properties which, at this time, have significantly less risk as an impact area. These are properties whoseowners have had no notification of their increased exposure, and the Town has no information from these owners regarding whether they do or do not wish to assume the risk which the owners and residents around the current 18th green know and with which they are comfortable. Because the risk with which the Town is concerned is not eliminated but is shifted to those who are not now underthat risk, without their knowledge, this safety argument is without any logic. 3 5/7/2013 i 3. - the dangerposed to an events venue east andlor south of the clubhouse - Perceived risk to an events venue east and/or south of the clubhouse has at least three central problems. a. First, this perceived risk is not now in existence. This risk only becomes real if the Council and the Vail Recreation District create an outdoor events venue in the impacted area. By changing the location of any events venue, or by creating an events venue which is either (i) interior or (ii) rooftop but protectedar(iii) exterior but protected, the risk vanishes. b. Secondly, because the currently proposed events venue does not now exist, the Town is creating its own problem and then justifying changes which impact the neighborhood (removing the golf course impact from some properties and shifting that risk to other properties) in order to resolve a problem which is being created unnecessarily. Again, there is no logic to theproposed course of action. c. Finally, as noted above, the location of an events venue on the part of the 18th fairway will actually increaseany exposure of the Town associated with errant golf balls originating on the driving range, ratherthan eliminate that risk. For the reasons noted above, none of rationales relied uponby the Town warrant or necessitate the destruction or relocation of the18thgreen and fairway. Voter mandate: The Town has on several occasions referred to its position that the approval of the expenditure of conferencecenterfunds has given it a clear direction to create an exterior events center in the area of the golf course clubhouse. While some who were exceptionally involvedin the development of the ballot question or the related planning may have been aware that an external event center was part of someone's plan, the ballot question did not reflect any such proposed direction or plan. The best information available indicates that the ballot question was, in pertinent part, whether the Town should use the remainingconvention center funds far the Expansion and improvement of the cla bhouse at the Va.il Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space; ....(Emphasis added) It is important to note that the ballot question in no wayindicated that the program wouldinvolve orrequire the destruction and/or appropriation of any part of the 18th hole. On the contrary, the use of the word "including" clearly indicates that the expansion and improvement of the clubhouse would "include" the multi-use community space, i.e., that the community space would be interior to and/or a part of theclubhouse. The input which the Council has heard from the golfing community has confirmed this popular reading and understanding of the proposal. 5/7/2013 1 i' The Town has received no voter mandate for the destruction or relocation of any part of the 13th fairway or the 18th green. Other Considerations: Apart from the lack of justification for the abandonment of the western part of the 18th hole of the Vail golf course, there exist at least four other considerations which require withdrawal of the current proposal. The covenantsassociated with the 1984 deed through which the Town acquired the subject property prohibit the use of the property which includes the 18th hole for anypurpose other than a"public golf course or open space or park for the benefit of the public and only such other relatedsupport facilities require d for those purposes". The conversion of part of this property into an events center for thepurpose of putting "heads in beds" is a commercial use which violates that covenant. That covenant was and is enforceable by the successorsand assigns of the Pulis Ranch Company. Available information indicates that the owners of the properties on Sunburst Drive are successors and assigns of the Pulis RanchCompany entitledto enforce that covenant. Mr. Hilliard does notwish to placed in the position of beingrequired to enforce that covenant, nor do I understand any of the other property owners to be determinedto take such a direction. If, however, the former Pulis Ranchproperry is converted to a use which violates that covenant, he, or any of his neighbors, may be compelled to considerthat course of action as the only availableremedy. A second concernis the fact that virtually any use of the part of the 18th hole under consideration for abandonment will, if abandoned, be converted to a use inconsistent with the ability of the neiDhboring property owners to quietly enjoy their property. Of particular concern is the virtual certainty that noise associated with the activities in this area will constitute anuisancetotheneighboringpropertiesandthattheproximityoflargenumbersofpeoplein this area will result in an invasion of privacy. The golf coursewas conveyed tothe Town of Vail andestablishedaspartofanoverallplanforthatgolfcourse, open space or park for the benefit of the neighboring properties. The owners of those properties are entitled to continuing recognition of this plan, whether through respect of the original covenant or otherwise. Another considerationis the reality that, if the Town closes part of the18th fairway as proposed but does not eliminate other similar hazards, such as the threat to golfers on the l Oth fairway or to pedestrian and bicycle traffic passing under the tee of the 16th hole, then the Townvillhaveeffectivelyacknowledgedtheexistenceofathreatatonelocationwithouthavingdealt appropriately with the threats at otherlocations where the same threats e st. Any party injuredinoneofthosevirtuallyidenticalsituationswouldhaveaneasiercasedemonstratingthatthe Town has only selectively corrected an identifiedproblem, and that he or she suffered injury because the Towndid not take identical action wherever the perceivedthreat exists. 5 5/7/2013 ti Finally, it must be recognized that (a) the conversion of properties from golf course properties into properties which front on vacant land whose future is largely unpredictable, and b) the noise and disturbance associated with activities in a commercial eventvenue, constituting a nuisance in every sense of the word, will have a catastrophic effect on the values of the properties currently adjacentto the western third of the18th fairway. While we have attempted to focus on the interests of the Town of Vail and the golfing public, and the fallacies of the justifications offered for the reconfiguration of the 18th fairway, the impact on owners and residents who have longrelied on the development plan created in the 1970's and confirmed in the 1984 deed to the Town of Vail cannot be ignored. The Town accepted the 1984 deed subject to a covenant which was clearly intended to perpetuate a plan which provided for the Sunburst Drive lots to enjoy golf course frontage, and the Town has a moral, as well as a legal, obligation to respect thatplan and the reliance of owners and residentson that plan. Options: Although Mr. Hilliard cannot speak for each of hisneighbors in this regard, it is possible that action might be taken to protect the interests of the Town of Vail while insurin the continued e stence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration. If there is a desire to protect theinterests of the Town of Vail while insuring the continued existence of the 18th fairway and green in their current configuration, Mr. Hilliard would be willing to work with the Town and hisneighbors to subject the properties of concern with respect toerrant golf balls to a covenant of generally the following content, consistent with recent golf course development: Every Lot subject to thiscovenant is subject to an easement permittin golf balls unintentionally to come upon the Lots adjacentto the golf course, and the owners of each such Lot, for themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that neither such owners, nor their successors and assigns, shall makeany claim against the Town of Vail nor the Vail Recreation District, nor any councilperson, officer, director, employee or agent of either, while acting in such capacity, as a result of injury or property damage resulting from such errant golf ballsbeing unintentionally hit ontoany of the Lots. The existence of this easement shall not relievegolfers of liability for damage caused by errant golf balls. " With reference to any perceivedthreat from the driving range, it has beensuggested by some in the golf community that a monitor might be stationed at the driving range to enforce a control preventing conventional balls from carrying over the fence which surrounds the driving range. If this step were coupled with signage advising those using the driving range that their use of the range will be terminated if a ball is hit over the fence, then this might be an effective step in preventing errant balls from landing on either the l Oth or the 18th fairway, saving both. While there would be a cost to such action, that cost would not approach the more than $350,000 which will be required to reconfigure the 18th fairway and green. 5/7/2013 1 a Summarv: As noted in the previous communication to the Council on behalf of Mr. Hilliard in connection with the proposed zone district amendment, we submit that it is the Town's duty to be certain that activities motivated by its own perceived needs andagenda are undertaken only with appropriate recognition and respect for the legitirnaterights and expectations of its residents and property owners. Once again, Mr. Hilliard wishesto thank the members of the Council for their consideration of his concerns, the concerns of his neighbors, and the opinions of the golfing community in preserving a recreational asset of the Town of Vail of importance to all. xc: Mr. Glenn Hilliard Board of Directors, Vail Recreation District Mr. Matt Mire, Town Attorney NIr.

Abplanalp, Jr." <Art@AbplanalpLawOffice.com> Art, I think anything that shortens the already too shortgolf course should be avoided if possible. As a par 5, the 18th hole is great. I am sure great care has been taken to design the 18th as a great par 4 and I have been assured of that fact by board member Ken Wilson whose judgement I respect. I prefer the 18th as it is. I am in favor of up dating and enlarging the clubhouse. It should be done in such a manner that does not change the 18th from a par 5 to a par 4. I cannot comment on the legality of making it more of an events center than italready is. I suspect but don't have any proof that the town may be making this an all or nothing thing to the rec board. Itappears from thetown minutes that not all the council members had the same understanding about using the originalenvelope but the peopte at the meeting were lead to believe that was the proposal. I am sympathetic with the land owners nearby that don't want to lose their proximity to the golf course. I am also sympathetic with theneighborhood that doesn't want any more increased traffic and noise above what already exists. I am not sure what the overall economic benefit will be to the town. The figures thatthey have provided should be subjected to closer scrutiny. One town person with whom I spoke said that they were really only looking for an annual net benefit to the town of around 100,000. I don't recall who said it.

The exp nded area is vithin the clubhouse footprint, consistent with the representations to the public by the Council onthe 2nd of August, 2011; 2. The view of the Gore Range from the eYpanded areais even better than that from the currently proposed Location; 3. The location of the eYpanded area on the north side of the facility is less vulnerable to errant shots from the 18th fairway; he expanded area effectively and efticiently uses the currently vacant airspace above the existing site of the cart storage area, r ther than using part of that area as a lar e patio, as is proposedunder theplans currently under consideration; The expanded area includes a laree gallery which can be used f'or re-event functions; 6. The expanded area has an entry separate f om the entry to the golf Facilities; 7, The golf grill and other golf-related facilities are riented toward the existing location of the 18th green; 8. "l he kitChen remains central to both the golf grill and the expanded area, and herefore is able to serve both; 9. "The golf facilities and the expancled area each have separate restroom facilities. 5/7/2013 rn ' t p D -p D m Z N r' m m i Z r- - o < z r — m o 0 0 rn T o o Z rn m m OA T2 r - D D p F L 'J7Z N m - m ° m m Z DZ D 9 m Z 37 p '.yC 9 C "0 O m - m m O r U --I D G T m r m z O 11J m r D I m i O X c Zn moz z Iz -{ I !

Bill Pierce recused himself due to a conflict of interest as he is the project architect for the ongoing remodel of Fire Station No. 2. Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Commissioner Pratt noted concerns about staging the fire truck across the street at the fire station construction site. Warren Campbell and Greg Hall explained the accommodations have been made for the truck in that location. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked for clarification about the notice and whether the proposed use was only offices or also for dwelling units. Warren Campbell responded that firemen would be using the space as for sleeping quarters, food preparation, and offices for the on duty crew. 30 minutes 5/7/2013 Page 2 2. A request for a review of an exterior alteration or modification, pursuant to Section 12-7J-12, Vail Town Code, to allow for a limited service lodge, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West (The Roost Lodge)/ Lots 10, 11, 12, Buffehr Creek Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto (PEC120041). Applicant: Timberline Roost Lodge, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Approved with condition(s) MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-1-0 (Rediker opposed) CONDITION(S): 1.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall provide the Town of Vail a public access easement, in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney, for the pedestrian connection between the bus stop and Meadow Ridge Road.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the applicant shall construct a 2.0 inch asphalt overlay for the extent of all constructed Frontage Road improvements. Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, gave a presentation on the request. He highlighted that there was no change to the approved bulk and mass, but a conversion of the 28 dwelling units in the project to lodge units. He spoke to the removal of a small architectural element on the west elevation of the building. He added that the project is compliant with the 5/7/2013 Page 4 current Town Code with regard to employee housing mitigation. He added that a process was underway in which the Town staff was evaluating the employee housing generation rates for limited service hotels of this caliber. He concluded by highlighting the projects benefits and a change request to the Public Works Department’s recommended traffic mitigation condition. Gregory Bemis, resident of the neighborhood, asked about the number of stories in the structure. Dominic Mauriello, responded that the number of floors was the same as approved in 2006. There was no change to approved plans with regard to building height. Gregory Bemis asked about fire egress on the rear of the building, the retaining wall along the rear, and requested that exterior lighting be subdued on the rear side of the structure. He added that the neighborhood understands the need for the project, but expressed concern over the shadow that might be cast on the street behind. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, asked what the average size of the hotel rooms would be. Dominic Mauriello brought up a slide depicting the breakdown of the room types of units. Jim Lamont asked how fire department access was being provided for the project. Dominic Mauriello explained that fire department access will be from the frontage road and the street behind. Jim Lamont inquired about the landscaping along the north property line. Dominic Mauriello explained the retaining walls and landscaping. Jim Lamont inquired as to the ability to reduce the width of pavement in front the structure to achieve greater landscaping. Dominic Mauriello explained the area necessary to accommodate a delivery truck turning radius. Commissioner Pierce asked Tom Kassmel to speak to the applicant’s request for the traffic impact fee to be off-set by their construction of street improvements. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, spoke to the change in policy in 2009 with regard to allowing for traffic impact fees to be off-set. Tom pointed out that this is the first large scale project, other than Solaris, which would need to comply with this revised policy. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the cost of installing the Simba Run underpass and the traffic impacts generated. Tom Kassmel answered Commissioner Kurz’s question. Commissioner Pratt asked about recommended condition number 18 which would require an overlay of the street and turn lanes. Tom Kassmel explained the recommended overlay requirement. 5/7/2013 Page 5 Dominic Mauriello made an argument that the existing approval would be allowed to off-set its traffic impact fees by constructing improvements and this new policy is a disincentive for the applicant to convert the approved condominiums to hotel rooms. Commissioner Kurz stated that it appeared capricious to no longer allow this project, which has an existing approval, to offset the fees with improvements. Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the accuracy of the submitted sun/shade analysis. Dominic Mauriello stated that the analysis was based on final version of the previously approved building design. Commissioner Rediker stated that it might be unfortunate for this applicant, but the new traffic impact fee policy should be assessed. He added that with the design of the roof structure creates a building with a five stories appearance. Commissioner Bird how the hotel would transport guests to the ski mountain. Dominic Mauriello explained how guest could access the nearby bus routes. Commissioner Bird recommended the applicant consider providing shuttle services for their guests. She asked if guest could rent rooms for more than 30 days. Dominic Mauriello clarified that this isn’t an extended stay hotel, but nothing would prohibit a guest willing to pay the daily rate to stay for long periods. Commissioner Pratt inquired as to any precedent of a property having two approved development plans. Bill Gibson noted that staff was not aware of any similar circumstances. Commissioner Pratt stated that as the crux of the issue was the conversion of dwelling units to accommodation units with no changes to the building bulk and mass which he believes is a benefit to the community. He would be in support of allowing the traffic impact fees to be off-set. He does not support on-site employee housing units because they are not compatible with hotel uses in the same building. Commissioner Cartin asked how the sidewalk along the front of the project will tie in with the existing sidewalk along the frontage road. Tom Kasmel explained that this is the “last piece” in bike path system in this neighborhood.. Commissioner Hopkins asked about the service of guest with a bus stop heading west and adding time to get to the mountain. She also recommended the applicant consider providing guests with a shuttle service. Commissioner Kurz inquired about the traffic impact fee associated with the previous approval. Tom Kassmel clarified how the previous fees could be off-set. Commissioner Kurz noted his support for allowing the traffic impact fees to be off-set for this proposal and made a motion for approval with conditions. 5/7/2013 Page 6 Dominic Mauriello clarified that the motion would allow the traffic impact fees to be off-set by the construction of transportation improvements. 60 minutes 3. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-16- 10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Golf Course Club House (i.e. accessory buildings, permanent and temporary, and uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional outdoor recreational uses, and necessary for the operation thereof, including restrooms, drinking fountains, bleachers, concessions, storage buildings, and similar uses), located at 1775 Sunburst Drive/Lot 3, Sunburst Filing 3 and Unplatted Parcels (a complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community Development Department Office), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120036) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Greg Hall Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Continued to November 26, 2012 MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 5-0-2 (Pierce and Hopkins recused) Commissioner Pierce recused himself due to a conflict of interest as he is the project architect on the temporary golf course buildings and a member of the Fallridge home owners association. He departed the meeting. Commissioner Hopkins recused herself due to conflicts of interest as her architecture firm has submitted an alternative design for the golf course clubhouse project. She also departed the meeting. Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He covered the three applications and how together they would permit the reconstruction of the Vail Golf Course. Commissioner Cartin asked that packets of this size be provide as much in advance as possible. Commissioner Kurz inquired about the community liaison concept in the proposed operation plan. Tom Braun, the applicant’s representative, answered that the operation plan would provide for a single point of contact for the neighborhood if they have questions or concerns. Tom Braun gave a presentation highlighting questions asked previously by the Commissioners about the design and program. He covered the clubhouse banquet/event room occupancy, traffic trip analysis, Design Review conceptual review comments, the proposed rezoning, the building height text amendments, and the amended conditional use permit application. Commissioner Pratt asked if architectural projections would be allowed above the proposed height limit. Bill Gibson described how an architectural projection is allowed to be taller than the height limit in all zone districts in Vail. Tom Braun then presented each element of the proposed operations plan. Commissioner Kurz stated that the neighborhood should have a similar liaison that interacts with the VRD and the Town, and there needs to be accountability on both sides. 5/7/2013 Page 7 Commissioner Bird asked if there was air conditioning planned for the banquet room? She asked if the bar/grill would also be available for rent by groups. Greg Hall explained that the bar/grill during the summer would be made solely available to golfers, but it was a possibility that it could be used by other groups in the winter. Tom Braun described the proposed parking management plan. He covered statistic collected at the Donovan Pavilion that may predict the types of events expected and the typical event start times. He noted that the VRD operates the entire facility, so they would also manage the parking. Commissioner Bird inquired as to the enforceability of requiring a shuttle service for certain events at certain times of day and asked what course of action would be used to prevent parking on Sunburst Drive. Tom Braun described how shuttles, parking, and other issues would be part of the contract and deposit for reserving the banquet room. Commissioner Kurz stated that parking on Sunburst Drive is a Code Enforcement (Police) issue and will would to be addressed in that manner. Commissioner Cartin inquired as to how the switch from general parking to valet parking would occur and how will it be insured that non-valet cars aren’t blocked in. Tom Braun explained the anticipated management process. Commissioner Cartin asked about deliveries. Pedros Campos explained how and where the loading and delivery will occur. Dale Bugby, an avid golfer who spends a lot of time on the course, stated that the parking lot is typically full. If this were any other applicant there would be a new parking structure with a park on top. The proposed parking plan is flawed since it doesn’t address banquet staff parking. There is not enough parking for golfing and an event since some rounds of golf go until 8:00 PM. He covered a letter that he wrote and submitted through Art Abplanalp. An event center is not compatible with the neighborhood. The property was purchased with open space tax money and the PEC’s approval of this application will jeopardize the future collection of that tax. This proposal conflicts with the Pulis covenants. The golf community is opposed to this plan. He suggested a survey of season golf pass holders to ascertain the feelings on this application. The Town Council and the VRD Board have made a back-door-deal that neither group will go back on now. The Town will pay to fix the clubhouse, but only if they get an event center. Neighbors will be impacts by noise since weddings don’t occur without someone opening the door to go outside for a smoke. The applicant states that there is minimal change, but the destruction of the 18th green and the baffle nets have negative impacts. The existing clubhouse is a dump, but the proposed building is out of scale with the neighborhood. The conditional use permit allows new uses, not the expansion of existing uses. The event size description and parking proposal does not take into account the total capacity of people in the banquet room, at the grill, on the patio, and on the lawn area. The applicant is not proposing to prohibit tents. The proposed grill and too small and won’t be a profitable business. The Commission needs to vote no on the project. Art Abplanalp, attorney representing several property owners, asked if the members had received his letter. His response was challenged because the Town was late publishing the packet. He provide a packet of papers which he believed reflected what the Commissioner had 5/7/2013 Page 8 already received, but he wanted to ensure were a part of the record. He noted their support for the proposed rezoning of the parking lot. He spoke to the height amendment and that architectural projections should not be allowed over 33 feet. He spoke to the definition of what is included as an accessory use to a golf course. A public golf course does not typically have this type of a facility and it’s not within the Commissioner purview to approve this application. He stated that a wedding chapel is not necessary for a golf course. Other golf courses have event facilities separated from the clubhouse. Facilities for events are not typically found at public golf courses. The proposed building design looks like the wedding chapel at the Air Force Academy and doesn’t look like a golf course clubhouse. This is a wedding chapel and restaurant with a clubhouse attached. He stated that the only goal of this project is build a cash-cow for revenues that will come at the neighbors’ expense. He compared the sizes of the existing and proposed banquet rooms, patio, etc. He stated that the proposed chapel and restaurant are not necessary for a golf course. He noted that the neighbors and golfers are opposed to the project. He objected to the public notice not acknowledging the conversion of the 18th green. The notice only refers to the clubhouse and does not speak to the changes on the golf course and the banquet facility. He asked about bleachers and other items listed in the public notice. Bill Gibson clarified that term bleachers and the other listed items in the notice is the verbatim land use language from the Vail Town Code and are not the description of the applicant’s request. Art Abplanalp continued that he does not believe the Commission has been made aware of what the applicant is actually asking for. The proposed conditional use permit is a blank-check. Nothing being presented by the applicant is for sure, there is no certainty. The proposed management and operation plan is worthless since the term “may” is used and it doesn’t address the concerns of the neighbors. If the Commission is going to provide the type of hearing that the constituents expect, the Commission needs to consider everything before them. He believes staff will need to be on-site 24-7 to ensure compliance. People are furious about this proposal but worn down by the review process, so that is why there are so few people in the audience. Art stated that Warren Pulis himself is opposed to this project. He further noted that during past Town Council hearings former Mayor Dick Cleveland and current Mayor Andy Daley said the clubhouse remodel would occur within the footprint of the existing building. He noted than the neighbors had submitted an alternative design to the Town Council, but have not yet received a response. He requested that the Commission put an end to the VRD and Town Council’s arrogance. Gretchen Bussey a resident of the neighborhood, spoke to her concerns about parking. She raised concerns about tents,, the process for approving the tents, will the tents have music, and other questions. She asked who is the proposed neighborhood liaison and who will monitor the parking lot. She is concerned that the proposed events center is a large size. Lue Maslak, resident of Sunburst Drive representing herself and her husband, spoke about the time she and her husband put into finding the perfect property to build their house and retire. She is opposed to the proposed co-opting of the clubhouse and noted that the building is 1/3 for golf and 2/3 for events. She noted that the bride’s room appears to be larger than the men’s locker room. This is a residential neighborhood with bicycles and children and the proposal is not compatible. She urged the Commission to denying the project. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, thanked those Commissioners who recognized that they had a conflict of interest and stepped down. He added that in projects such as this with 5/7/2013 Page 9 many cross-currents that other conflicts should be made know. The Town should consider adopting a code of ethics rather than simply relying on the conflict of interest rules. He was confused if the neighbor’s alternative plan (referenced by Art Abplanalp) that was prepared by Snowdon/Hopkins Architects had been submitted to the Commission. He asked the attorney representing the neighbors if it has been submitted as a part of the record. Art Abplanalp stated that it had been submitted prior to the last Commission hearing. Jim Lamont asked if the VRD was a lessee of the Town and if any term of that agreement can be overturned by the Town Council. There is confusion over the rolls and that the Town and VRD are one and the same. They are separate entities and the Town can at its discretion modify the agreement. Therefore, what is approved by this Council can be changed by a future Council. Te is amused at the operation plan and finds it inadequate when compared to the Golden Peak operation/management plan. In the Golden Peak Management plan there is a requirement for all parties (including the neighbors) to be consulted on amendments and changes. The proposed management plan submitted is dictatorial and not collaborative. He stated that the current problems at the clubhouse will not go away with the approval of this project and the management plan doesn’t solve any problems. He clarified that the Vail Homeowners are not a neighborhood association and there only obligation is to communicate. He suggested that the proposed building height text should have a separate clubhouse section in the code. He believes there needs to be a paragraph for all parcels and then specifics for the clubhouse. He noted concern that property owner adjacent to other Outdoor Recreation District properties have not been specifically notified about proposed height change and would not support a height increase for all buildings. The lack of landscaping along the south end of the parking lot is symptomatic of this whole process. The Commission, even in their limited role, needs to send the message that the applicant is not being a good neighbor. Commissioner Kurz inquired of Matt Mire, Town Attorney, if approval of this project would jeopardizing the collection of real estate transfer tax (as asserted by Dale Bugby). Matt Mire answered no. Commissioner Rediker inquired about the property covenant and any current or potential violations. Mire Mire said he has issued a legal opinion that he can share with the Commission in executive session, but due to the ongoing litigation he will not disclose that opinion in the hearing. He clarified that private covenants are outside the scope of the Commission scope of review. Commissioner Rediker stated that as he reads the Outdoor Recreation District and he does not read anything about a banquet facility, etc. He asked for clarification. Bill Gibson read from the district stating that the golf course is a permitted use and the clubhouse and related uses are accessory and subject to the review of a conditional use permit. Commissioner Rediker inquired further about what is considered accessory. He does see how someone could object to a pro shop, locker rooms, etc.; but was unclear whether or not a banquet facility would be objectionable or not permitted. Tom Braun, stated that the Town Code is not clear on the specific uses within the club house, but many golf courses include a banquet facility. 5/7/2013 Page 10 Bill Gibson gave an example of City Market which is a grocery store. However, within that grocery store there may be various types of the activities such as a pharmacy, photo development, movie rentals, a deli, etc. Commissioner Rediker noted that some concerns from the neighbors are being overblown and some of their rhetoric is weird. He stated that this proposal is not a wedding chapel. Art Abplanalp state that the covenant language and the Code include very similar language. Dale Bugby added that everyone should read the Pulis deed as it states “only what is required”. Bill Gibson clarified that the covenants are beyond the scope of the Commission’s review. Commissioner Kurz stated his concerns about formalizing a liaison and his concerns about the proposed building height language. Addressing Jim Lamont’s comments, Commissioner Kurz disclosed that he serves on the Vail Economic Advisory Committee (VEAC) and he is married to the Town of Vail Economic Development Manager; but this has no influence over him in reviewing this project. Commissioner Bird suggested that the bride room be relabeled on the plans to be a meeting room. She agrees that height needs to be more clearly defined and she is not sold on the parking plan. Commissioner Cartin asked the applicant to clearly identify the proposed conditional use permit area. Commissioner Pratt asked how tents are allowed. Bill Gibson explained that there are two processes. There is a conditional use permit review process for seasonal uses and structures, and there is a special event process through the Committee on Special Events. Commissioner Cartin agreed Jim Lamont’s recommendation to separate the code language regarding building height for clubhouses. He clarified that the Commission is a judicial review body, and does not make a decisions about the configuration of the holes at the golf course. Bill Gibson clarified that the height architectural projections is not unlimited. The Town Code limits there height to be 25% more than the height listed in every zone district. He gave an example of an existing architectural projection in the neighborhood and described how the observatory tower at the Maslak was approved to exceed the height limit of the Two-Family Primary/Secondary District. Commissioner Kurz suggested that the Commission take action on the proposed rezoning and text amendment. Commissioner Pratt noted his concern that the parking study shows enough parking, but anecdotal evidence from the neighbors suggests otherwise. The retaining wall on the south end of the lot should be looked at and reworked to achieve an improved buffer. He recommended that the lawn area included in the conditional use permit area or that tents should not be erected. The management plan seems to be reactive verses proactive. He wonders how all the elements of the management plan are addressed real time during an event. He pointed out that the drainage report speaks to surface drainage to an open ditch. He recommended that the 5/7/2013 Page 11 applicant install a sand and oil separator. He would like to see some sort of trigger for the management plan to return to the Commission for review should a certain number of complaints be received or maybe after one year of operation. Motions were made on the rezoning and text amendments. Tom Braun asked for clarification on the issues of concern. The Commission summarized their concerns about parking and the day of management of events. Commissioner Kurz noted that he does not remember seeing an alternative plan proposal. Commissioner Pratt stated that any alternative plan needs to be presented to the applicant and not to the Commission. Tom Braun noted that they would look into Commissioner Pratt suggestion of a trigger to re- review any approvals. Art Abplanalp noted that the exhibit in the document he submitted earlier in the hearing includes the neighbor’s alterative plan and stated that the Commission should not approve what the applicant is proposing. Commissioner Pratt again stated that the decision of what to propose is up to the applicant, not the Commission. 20 minutes 4.

Daly, Mayor ATTEST: ____________________________ Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk 5/7/2013 TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: March 25, 2013 SUBJECT: A request for review of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for changes to building sites, changes to architectural guidelines, an increase in GRFA, and revisions to the on-site EHU requirement, located at 1624, 1626, 1628, 1630, and 1632 Buffehr Creek Road/ Lots 1-5, Elk Meadows Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130005) Applicant: Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The purpose of this public hearing is to allow the applicant, Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn, to introduce four proposed amendments to the adopted Elk Meadows Special Development District (SDD) No. 16 (Attachment A). The four proposed amendments are: • The relocation and reconfiguration of Lots 1, 2, and 3; • Revisions to the architectural guidelines; • Revisions to the on-site employee housing requirement; and • An increase in the allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA). The applicant has provided a written description of the request, dated March 20, 2013, which has been provided for review (Attachment B). Based upon Staff’s review of the criteria outlined in Section VI of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, of the major amendment to SDD No. 16, as proposed, subject to the findings noted in Section VII of this memorandum. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 2 II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Elk Meadows Development, LLC, represented by Sharon Cohn, is requesting approval of four proposed amendments to the Elk Meadows Special Development District (SDD) No. 16. The four proposed amendments are: 1. RELOCATION AND RECONFIGURATION OF BUILDING ENVELOPES The applicant is proposing to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3, of the Elk Meadows SDD. Presently, a single family residence is constructed in Lot 4. All other lots are vacant. A copy of the recorded subdivision for Elk Meadows is attached for reference (Attachment C). The applicant’s proposal is to relocate Lot 1 to the south side of the private drive allowing for additional space to move Lots 2 and 3 east along the north side of the private driveway. The relocated lots would be reconfigured to pull the future development of the Lots 2 and 3 away from the steep slopes adjacent to Buffehr Creek Road and increase the distances between the structures on Lots 2, 3, and 4. The relocated and reconfigured lots maintain their current lot areas as designated on the recorded plat. A copy of the proposed relocated and reconfigured building envelopes is attached for reference (Attachment D). 2. REVISIONS TO THE ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES The applicant is proposing to eliminate the adopted architectural guidelines and utilize the design standards and guidelines found in Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code. The design standards and guidelines in Title 14 permit a greater diversity in the architectural character of the development. The current architectural guidelines require the construction of log cabin style structures, which is best exhibited by the structure on the Lot 4. The language below is proposed to be stricken from the SDD. Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990 1. Roof pitch shall be between 4 feet in 12 feet and 6 feet in 12 feet. 2. Roof material shall be Cedar shakes 3. Siding material shall be either log or stucco with log perlins, log railings, or other log members, natural rock, or a combination of the above, and shall be applied horizontally as indicated on the prototypical building elevations. Only light colored stain shall be applied to the siding 4. Either stucco or siding shall be applied to exposed concrete foundation walls. If stucco is utilized it shall be light in color. 5. All windows shall be white metal clad or wood windows, and will be “divided light” style. 6. All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 1 foot in order to protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow to contribute to the building’s character. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 3. REVISIONS TO THE EMPLOYEE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS The applicant is proposing a revision to the SDD requirement for the provision of a single on-site employee housing unit (EHU). As the first structure in the SDD has already been constructed, the EHU is currently required to be built in conjunction with the next structure. The SDD ordinance states that “the EHU shall be a minimum of 400 square feet and no more than 500 square feet of GRFA.” The applicant’s proposal is to permit the required on-site EHU to be provided off-site within the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to deed restrict an approximately 700 square foot dwelling unit currently located at Unit 7-A within the Pitkin Creek Condominium Association. 4. GRFA AMENDMENT The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable GRFA in the SDD by 10%. The applicant’s justification for the increase is to capture changes made to the methodology for calculating GRFA in 2004. In 2004 the method for measuring GRFA was amended to include the thickness of exterior walls in a structure. The regulations determining allowable GRFA were adjust up by 10% to capture the amount of wall area within a structure. The result of the applicant’s proposal is an increase in the allowable GRFA on each building envelope from 3,200 square feet to 3,520 square feet maximum. In keeping with the original intent of the adopted SDD, any unused GRFA from a lot cannot be transferred to another lot within the SDD. III. BACKGROUND On July 26, 1973 Eagle County Commissioners approve The Valley preliminary plan and PUD for 150 units of 61.2 acres. On May 24, 1978 Eagle County Commissioners grant an extension of The Valley PUD as 120 of the approved units had not been constructed in the three year time frame associated with the PUD approval. On March 26, 1980 a PUD plan and protective covenants document is filed with Eagle County indicating that Phase III was subject to a land use restriction of 10 units and 16,000 square feet. On March 27, 1980 Resolution 80-20 allowed the phases of The Valley to be sold separately without further compliance with the subdivision regulations. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 4 April 16, 1980 the Eagle County Planning Commission recommended approval of the sketch plan for Elk Meadows. The Commission suggested that the units be tucked into the hillside on the northeast side of the project and that the developer use berming and landscaping to buffer the project. April 16, 1980 Town of Vail staff sent a letter to the Eagle County Planning Commission which recommended a tighter clustered layout of the buildings toward the hillside. Vail staff recognized the steep hillside and sensitivity of the meadow area. In December of 1980 the Town of Vail annexed the West Vail area including Phase III of The Valley through Ordinance No. 43, Series of 1980. It was subsequently zoned by Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1981. On September 11, 1985 The Valley was de-annexed from the Town of Vail. On May 11, 1987 The Valley was re-annexed into the Town of Vail. On July 7, 1987 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987 establishing SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. The approved development plan was for nine (9) dwelling units which were comprised of five (5) single family and two (2) duplex units. The maximum allowable GRFA was 16,000 square feet on the seven building envelopes. On September 15, 1987 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 32, Series of 1987 which repealed and reenacted the SDD with a reduction in the number of permitted dwelling units. The ordinance identified a maximum of the seven (7) single family dwelling units were permitted on the seven platted building envelopes. The maximum allowable GRFA for the SDD remained at 16,000 square feet divided equally over the seven units. On May 15, 1990 the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990 which repealed and reenacted the SDD with a reduction in the number of permitted dwelling units from seven (7) to five (5). The maximum allowable GRFA remained at 16,000 square feet divided evenly over the five units. Additionally, the ordinance codified revised architectural guidelines designed to result in all structures having a log cabin appearance and an EHU requirement of a single dwelling unit. A copy of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990 is attached for reference (Attachment E) On February 25, 2013, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a work session to discuss the applicant’s proposal. At this hearing there was differing suggestions provided on the relocation of Lot 1 and how to best preserve the open space meadow. The Commissioners generally support the elimination of the architectural guidelines, the EHU requirement to be permitted off-site, and the 10% increase in allowable GRFA. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 5 IV.

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 6 applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Staff has reviewed the documents on file with the Town in order to understand the SDD as it was initially adopted and amended over the years. With regard to the request to relocate and reconfigure the lots, staff was looking for any discussion regarding the intent and logic associated with the current location of the lots. A letter written by Town of Vail staff, dated April 16, 1980, to the Eagle County Planning Commission was found which recommended a clustered layout of the buildings on the north hillside. The letter recognized the steep hillside and the sensitivity of the meadow area. Staff believes it is clear that there was a goal to protect the open meadow paralleling Buffehr Creek Road throughout The Valley PUD from being developed. A copy of the letter has been attached for review (Attachment F). Elk Meadows was initially Phase III of The Valley PUD adopted by Eagle County, prior to annexation into the town. As a part of Phase III there were to be 10 dwelling units consisting of not more than 16,000 square feet of GRFA. A site plan from 1986 showing the location of the 10 lots has been attached for review (Attachment G). The plan shows nine (9) of the 10 units located on the south side of the private drive in the open meadow. Staff believes there may be benefits to the relocation of Lot 1 to the south side of the private drive. The relocation of Lot 1 allows for Lots 2 and 3 to be shifted eastward providing for a greater separation between each lot. The reconfiguration of Lots 2 and 3 also allows for the future development to be pulled away from the property line, away from the edge of Buffehr Creek Road and its right-of-way, and further out of the steeper slopes adjacent to the road. Additionally, the proposed reconfiguration maintains the originally intended footprints (site coverage) by maintaining the current platted areas, thus resulting in no change to the open space area within SDD No. 16. Staff believes that it would be more in keeping with the intent of the SDD to move the proposed relocated Lot 1 15 feet to the west to be in closer proximity to the fire truck turn-around. Lot 1 is currently located 33 feet east from the paved fire truck turn- around. Staff believes this distance should be reduced to 15 feet to further decrease disturbance to the site. This minor change in the proposed location of Lot 1 results in a consolidation of disturbance on the site and a continuance of the protection of the meadow. Should a relocation and reconfiguration of the lots within Elk Meadows be approved, the applicant will need to file an amended subdivision plat application for review and 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 7 approval prior to submitting an application for a building permit. The amended plat shall be recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder’s office prior to applying for a building permit. The property records on file with the town contain documents stating that the applicant for SDD No. 16 proposed the architectural guidelines. Previously there were 10 dwelling units approved for the site and architectural continuity would have been important for that density on this site. Design continuity may be less important in a development containing five (5) development lots. With the exception of the multi-family development, The Valley, there is a diversity of architectural styles consistent with the Town’s adopted design guidelines. The applicant’s proposal to eliminate the architectural guidelines in the SDD results in the architectural guidelines and standards found in Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, governing the designs. The SDD as currently adopted permits a maximum of 3,200 square feet of GRFA on each of the five building envelopes. In 2004, in conjunction with the amendments adopted regarding GRFA, the methodology for measuring GRFA was altered to include the thickness of exterior walls of a structure in the calculation. To account for this change in the methodology for measuring GRFA the town increased the allowable GRFA by 10%. The applicant is proposing to increase the allowable GRFA within the SDD by 10%. This results in an increase in the allowable GRFA from 3,200 square feet to 3,520 square feet per lot (in total 16,000 to 17,600 square feet). Without an increase in GRFA, the properties are effectively reduced by 10% in allowable size to 2,880 square feet (in total 14,400 square feet). Similar requests for consistency in GRFA allowances have been approved on plat restricted GRFA properties throughout town. A similar request was approved for the Eleni Zniemer subdivision to the northwest of Elk Meadows, also on Buffehr Creek Road. Provided that Lot 1 Is relocated as recommended, staff believes the proposed requests to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3, eliminate the architectural guidelines, and increase GRFA by 10% will have no negative effect on the elements identified in this criterion. The proposed changes will have no negative impact on the neighborhood or the character of the area. The relocation of Lots, 1, 2, and 3 allow for the structures to achieve separations between units which is more indicative of the single-family/duplex development on the Eleni and Lia Zniemer Subdivisions. Additionally, the change to allow for the architecture to be more diverse in compliance with Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, results in development which is more consistent with the single-family/duplex structures on Buffehr Creek Road. The proposed increase to the allowable GRFA will result in no change to the bulk and mass anticipated in the initial adoption of SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 8 Since annexation into the Town and the adoption of the SDD, the residential density within Phase III of the Valley (Elk Meadows) has been reduced from a total of 10 dwelling units to 5 dwelling units. The applicant’s proposal maintains the total allowable density for SDD No. 16 at five (5) dwelling units and five (5) optional EHUs. Each of the structures to be built on the four vacant lots will be single-family dwelling units with a potential EHU. This is in keeping the residential nature of the Buffehr Creek neighborhood. Staff does not believe there is any negative effect on the surrounding uses and activities created by the proposed amendments. 3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. The proposed change to the allowable GRFA from 3,200 square feet results in each of the five (5) lots being able to construct a maximum of 3,520 square feet of GRFA. Pursuant to Section 12-10-10, Parking Requirement Schedules, Vail Town Code, a dwelling of this size is required three (3) parking spaces. If the optional EHU were to be constructed on a lot the SDD requires one of the required parking spaces to be within a garage. All units constructed within the SDD will be required to comply with the parking standards. The SDD will be in compliance with this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Staff has reviewed the various documents comprising Vail’s Comprehensive Plan and found the Vail Land Use Plan to applicable. The Vail Land Use Plan designates Elk Meadows as “Medium Density Residential”. The Plan describes Medium Density Residential as follows: The medium density residential category includes housing which would typically be designed as attached units with common walls. Densities in this category would range from 3 to 14 dwelling units per buildable acre. Additional types of uses in this category would include private recreation facilities, private parking facilities and institutional / public uses such as parks and open space, churches and fire stations. Staff believes the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan are applicable to the proposal to amend SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. 5. Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.2 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 9 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. The Elk Meadows SDD at its currently allowable density of five (5) dwelling units would equate to 0.72 units per acre. This is well below the density identified by the Vail Land Use Plan. Additionally, the Elk Meadows development is allowing for additional growth in an area which is already platted. SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows, includes a requirement for a 400-500 square foot onsite EHU. This requirement was intended to house one employee. The applicant is proposing to allow the EHU to be located off-site. It has been determined that Section 12-13-5, Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program, Vail Town Code, is not applicable to this request as the EHU is not currently constructed. Additionally, this Code provision is not applicable as the exchange of an on-site EHU results in the dwelling unit capturing and utilizing the previous EHU square footage. The applicant is proposing to deed restrict an approximately 700 square foot dwelling unit off-site to satisfy the EHU mitigation requirement of SDD No. 16, Elk Meadows. The proposed unit is 7-A of the Pitkin Creek Condominiums. Pursuant to Section 12- 23-3, Size and Building Requirements, Vail Town Code, a unit of approximately 700 square feet would house 1.75 employees. The proposed unit is a two bedroom unit and could accommodate two employees. Staff believes there is merit to allowing the EHU mitigation to be provided off-site. The proposal to deed restrict a unit in the Pitkin Creek Condominiums will result in a more appropriate location for the required EHU. An EHU located at Pitkin Creek Condominiums will be in close proximity to public transit, grocery store and other commercial opportunities. Staff believes that the provision of the SDD requiring the mitigation of the EHU requirement in conjunction with the next structure should be altered to be in conjunction with the recording of the amended final plat. This allows for the obligation to be addressed prior to the submittal of a building permit and will allow the SDD to move forward at a pace determined by the lot owners. Staff believes that the proposed amendments are in keeping with Vail Land Use Plan and the EHU mitigation policy of the Town of Vail. The proposal will remain in concert with the identified medium density residential land use designation. Furthermore, the relocation of the EHU off-site to a location provided public transportation and commercial access and the ability to house two (2) employees is in keeping with the Town’s affordable housing policies. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 10 5. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Elk Meadows is located within a High Severity Rockfall Hazard. The extent of the identified hazard is along the north portion of the site. All the lots are within the extents of the hazard. A site specific hazard report was prepared for the development in conjunction with the previous reviews and approvals. Pursuant to the covenants for the development and the Vail Town Code the recommendations of the site specific hazard report are to be implemented into the design and construction of each structure. The structure on Lot 4 has implemented the mitigation recommended. Staff believes that the Elk Meadows covenants and Vail Town Code will ensure that the mitigation of the geologic hazard will occur within the development and thus have no negative effect on this criterion. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The proposal to relocate and reconfigure Lots 1, 2, and 3 will not decrease the area devoted to open space. The relocated and reconfigured lots will maintain the currently platted areas. The proposal to change the driveway design from a cul-de-sac to a 90 degree turn-around will significantly reduce the site disturbance within the development. The change from a cul-de-sac to a 90 degree turn-around results in approximately 6,500 square feet less disturbance. The Elk Meadows SDD included provisions for the protection of the open space through the incorporation of language defining where built improvements can be located. The SDD identifies that the structure, including roof eaves, decks, walls, etc. shall not encroach beyond the building envelope. Staff believes the proposed changes will continue to protect the goal of protecting the meadow from disturbance. While there is a change in the configuration and location of the Lots 1, 2, and 3 there will be no less area designated and protected as open space and left undeveloped. Staff believes the design features of the Elk Meadows SDD comply with this criterion. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. A design for the curb cut off of Buffehr Creek Road and the driveway was adopted with the original Elk Meadows SDD. The curb-cut access to four (4) of the lots in Elk Meadows is already n place. Approximately 260 feet of the driveway has been constructed at 20 feet in width. The proposal is to continue the driveway pavement at 20 feet in width with 3 feet of packed gravel on each side for a total width of 26 feet.. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 11 Pursuant to Section 14-3-1, Residential and Commercial Access, Driveway and Parking Standards, Vail Town Code, access to a development with four (4) or more dwelling units is required to be 20 feet wide. Access for three (3) or less units required to be 12 feet. Staff believes there are negative impacts associated with the proposal to continue a 20-foot paved driveway past Lot 4. Staff believes it is appropriate to narrow the driveway past Lot 4 to 16 feet in paved width with 2 feet of packed gravel on each side for a total width of 20 feet. This change results in less overall site disturbance, better aesthetics within the meadow and development, and improved environmental benefits. The Vail Fire Department does require fire staging areas. Staff will work with the Fire Department to continue to reduce the paved driveway surface yet still address staging needs. The four (4) lots utilizing the shared driveway will have will have a paved parking/access area in front of each lot. The depth of these parking/garage access areas is approximately 24 feet. This depth allows for vehicles to have 2.5 feet of space between the car and the garage door and the car and the shared driveway. This will prevent a car parked in front of a garage from impeding traffic flow on the driveway. Vehicular traffic on the driveway will be minimal and it is anticipated that pedestrians will utilize the driveway for circulation. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Elk Meadows SDD has an adopted landscaping preliminary plan. This plan shows the existing trees to remain, landscaping to be added adjacent to the intersection of the driveway with Buffehr Creek Road, and adjacent to each home. The intent of the landscaping preliminary plan is to leave the meadow in its natural state with native plants and grasses. The plan has been revised to depict the relocation of Lot 1 and is attached for reference (Attachment H). Staff believes that the landscaping preliminary plan serves to protect the open space meadow from disturbance and the addition of landscaping. The proposed plan results in large areas of the meadow being protected. Staff believes the proposal will have no negative effect on this criterion. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Within the Elk Meadows SDD phasing was designed to occur as each individual lot owner was ready to construct. The construction of the dwelling unit on Lot 4 was only required to build that portion of driveway which provided access to the home. The construction of the next structure will be completing the construction of the driveway 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 12 VII.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS: 1. Revisions to the current locations of Lots 1, 2 & 3 within the subdivision. The current location and configuration of Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 are clustered closely together (18’-20’ apart) on the north side of the site, inset in the steep hillside adjacent to Buffehr Creek Road. We are proposing modifications to the geometry and relocation of the building envelopes to pull the sites out of the steep hillside, further away from Buffehr Creek Road, minimizing the removal of existing trees, and reducing the perception of density by providing more desirable spacing between Lots. Though the geometry of the Lots change as a response to the topography of the site, the sizes do not. They maintain the acreage as set forth in the current SDD. Therefore there is also no impact to the amount of acreage (2.5 acres) dedicated as open space. Lot 1: 0.095 Acres Lot 2: 0.089 Acres Lot 3: 0.078 Acres After the initial PEC work session and in response to PEC and Staff’s comments, we reevaluated the location of LOT 1 and propose a finalized location per the revised site plan. • LOT 1 is now located equidistant from the drive lane as set in LOT 2 and LOT 3. • LOT 1 is now located 33’ feet from the fire truck turnaround, which is equal to the spacing we are providing between LOT 4, LOT 3 and LOT 2. • The drive lane has been reduced and the fire truck turnaround is located as close to the utility easement as possible. 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 2 • LOT 1 has been pulled out of the south hillside and has been shifted west from the initial proposed location. 2. Revisions to the current Architectural Guidelines. We are proposing to adopt Town of Vail Code, Title 14, Chapter 10, DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES in place of the current design guidelines set forth in the current SDD. The current Architectural Guidelines were set forth in the last amendment to the SDD in Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990, reflecting the Alpine Log Home built by the owner of Lot 4. Design Guidelines Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1990: 1. Roof pitch shall be between 4 feet in 12 feet and 6 feet in 12 feet. 2. Roof material shall be Cedar shakes. 3. Siding material shall be either log or stucco with log perlins, log railings, or other log members, natural rock, or a combination of the above, and shall be applied horizontally as indicated on the prototypical building elevations. Only light colored stain shall be applied to siding. 4. Either stucco or siding shall be applied to exposed concrete foundation walls. If stucco is utilized it shall be light in color. 5. All windows shall be white metal clad or wood windows, and will be “divided light” style. 6. All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 1 foot in order to protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow to contribute to the building’s character. These guidelines were an amendment from the initial establishment of the SDD in Ordinance No. 19 1987, in which the approved design guidelines contained the following: Design Guidelines Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987: 1. Roof pitch shall be between 4 feet in 12 feet and 6 feet in 12 feet. 2. Roof material shall be metal standing seam or a metal stamped California tile form and be either charcoal gray or dark blue in color 3. Siding material shall be either cedar or redwood and shall be applied horizontally as indicated on the prototypical building elevations. Only light colored stain shall be applied to siding. 4. Either stucco or siding shall be applied to exposed concrete foundation walls. If stucco is utilized it shall be light in color. 5. All windows shall be white metal clad windows. 6. All roofs shall have overhangs of at least 1 foot in order to protect walls and wall openings from rain and snow to contribute to the building’s character. 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 3 3. Employee Housing Unit Requirement The current SDD requires a minimum of one employee dwelling unit within the subdivision; a minimum size of 400 SF not to exceed 500 SF. Since the EHU has not been built within the subdivision and the EHU square footage does not currently exist within a residence, we are proposing to replace the 400 SF EHU requirement with an existing one bedroom, 669 SF, Pitkin Creek Condominium. PROPOSED PITKIN CREEK CONDOMINIUM PARCEL NUMBER: 2101-111-05-085 ADDRESS: 3971 BIGHORN RD #7A LEGAL SUMMARY: DESC: PHASE III Subdivision: PITKIN CREEK PARK Unit: 7-A The current SDD requirement of a 400 SF EHU is appropriately sized for only one employee, versus the ability to house two employees in the 669 SF Pitkin Creek Condominium. The East Vail location of the Pitkin Creek Condominium is far more appropriate for a Town of Vail employee. Its location on the Town of Vail bus route, proximity to the bike trail, and the on-site amenities of a pool/hot tub, grocery and liquor store makes it a superior location to the isolated neighborhood on Buffehr Creek Road. Elk Meadows is not serviced by the Town of Vail bus, or within close proximity to a bus stop, requiring employees to have a car and pay for Town of Vail parking. The fact that the EHU does not currently exist makes this a unique situation. We are not requesting to exchange an existing EHU, but to relocate the existing requirement off-site providing the Town of Vail with an additional 269 SF beyond what is required of the SDD. The EHU exchanges that have taken place to date have been an exchange of an existing EHU in which the residences benefited by the absorption of the additional GRFA. The Elk Meadows SDD would not be absorbing or adding any additional GRFA with the relocation of the 400 SF EHU requirement, therefore not warranting compliance with the exchange program. 4. Increase the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) 10% for each lot within the Elk Meadows Subdivision. This proposed amendment will maintain the intent of the original Valley PUD Agreement in which 16000 SF of GRFA was designated for the Valley Phase III. The current SDD allocates 3200 SF of GRFA per Lot. The amendments to the GRFA regulations enacted by Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2004, affected the method by which GRFA within the Residential Cluster Zone district is measured. The current Lots are negatively affected by Ordinance 14 as the GRFA amendments require wall thickness to be counted as GRFA. The proposed 10% increase in GRFA per Lot is to 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 4 recapture the GRFA “lost” when wall thickness was revised to be included in the GRFA calculations. This proposal will not change the intended size, bulk and mass of structures within the subdivision. LOT AREA ALLOWABLE GRFA PROPOSED GRFA LOT 1 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 2 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 3 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 4 3200 SF 3520 SF LOT 5 3200 SF 3520 SF TOTAL 16000 SF 17600 SF 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 5 REVIEW CRITERIA Section 12-9A-8: DESIGN CRITERIA AND NECESSARY FINDINGS, Vail Town Code, provides the criteria for review of a Major Amendment to a Special Development District. These criteria have been provided below, along with an analysis of how this proposal complies with these criteria: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The proposed modifications and relocation of LOTS 1, 2 & 3 are in response to their current orientation on the steep hillside and their close proximity to Buffehr Creek Road. When altering LOT 2 & LOT 3 to work better with the existing topography and minimize the site disturbance, we end up with lot 1 being situated on the southern side of the shared drive. This improved location of LOT 1 minimizes the overall site disturbance, improves the buffer zone between residences and the Buffehr Creek Road, and moves LOT 1 out of the rockfall hazard area. The proposed fire truck turnaround and its location is a significant improvement to the site disturbance over the cul-de-sac design in the original SDD (RE: Design Criteria #7). The relocation of these lots still preserves the natural features of the site while reducing the feeling of density similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision in which the lots allow for more adequate spacing between the residences. The adoption of Town of Vail Code, Title 14, Chapter 10, DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES in place of the SDD’s current design guidelines is intended to create a more diverse grouping of residences similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision. As there is only one residence currently constructed on this site, we believe there is an opportunity to expand and improve on the current guidelines to allow for slight diversity amongst the remaining residences. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. There is no change to the proposed uses and activities for the SDD. The improved locations of Lots 1, 2 & 3 create the perception of a reduction in density which is much more compatible with the neighboring Single Family subdivisions to the west (Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer and north (The Valley Phase V). 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 10 of this title. There is no change in the parking requirements for the SDD. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. The merits of the original SDD still comply, though our improved proposal better aligns with the objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan. The following are the applicable land use policies regarding this proposal. 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 6 1. General Growth /Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded when possible. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geological hazard areas. 5. Residential 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. 5. Natural and/or Geological Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geological hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. A portion of the site is located within a high severity rockfall zone. There is no change to the proposed mitigation set forth in the current SDD. The proposed relocation of Lot 1 is a benefit as it would be located outside of the high severity rockfall zone. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design, location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall The proposed modifications and relocations of Lots 1, 2 & 3 are an improvement in regards to the following: 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 7 Site Plan: Improved integration of the Lots into the existing topography of the site, minimizing the site disturbance, improved buffer zone from Buffehr Creek Rd. and between residences similar to that of the neighboring single family subdivisions. Building Design: By pulling the Lots out of the steep hillside and spacing them farther apart we create improved building envelopes for the design of the future residences. Location/Open Space: Our proposal reduces the perception of density similar to the adjacent Lia Zneimer & Elieini Zneimer Subdivision. We maintain the natural features of the site while minimizing the impact to the existing trees on the North side of the site and maintaining meadow/green space throughout. We believe this improves the aesthetic quality of the community. There is no reduction in the amount of dedicated open space per the SDD. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehical and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. The location of LOT 1 and the fire truck turnaround to the east shortens the length of the drive lane, reduces the distance needed for each of the driveways and is a vast reduction in site disturbance in comparison to the cul-de-sac proposed in the initial SDD. Original SDD Intent: Drive lane and 96’ wide cul-de-sac would have taken up approximately 19,000 SF. Proposed SDD Amendment: Shortened drive lane and alternate fire truck turn-around would take up approximately 12,200 SF. This is a reduction of over 6500 SF of site disturbance. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. There is no change to the conceptual landscape design included in the current SDD. A review of the specific landscaping for each lot will occur first with the HOA in conjunction with the landscape provisions within the covenants followed by a review by the Town of Vail Design Review Board. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. There is no change in the phasing plan for the SDD. 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 8 ZONING ANALYSIS EXISTING SDD PROPOSED REVISIONS PERMITTED USES: PERMITTED USES: SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DWELLINGS NO CHANGE OPTIONAL EMPLOYEE DWELLING UNIT LOT SIZES: LOT SIZES: LOT 1: 4138 SF SINGLE FAMILY LOT NO CHANGE LOT 2: 3877 SF SINGLE FAMILY LOT LOT 3: 3398 SF SINGLE FAMILY LOT LOT 4: 4051 SF SINGLE FAMILY LOT LOT 5: 6142 SF SINGLE FAMILY LOT TOTAL: 21606 SF TOTAL FOR BUILDING ENVELOPES SETBACKS: SETBACKS: E & W SIDES = 2' FROM BUILDING ENVELOPE LINE NO CHANGE N SIDE = 3' FROM BUILDING ENVELOPE LINE HEIGHT: HEIGHT: 33' SLOPING ROOF NO CHANGE 30' FOR FLAT ROOF DOES NOT APPLY AS DESIGN GUIDELINES REQUIRES SLOPING ROOF SITE COVERAGE: SITE COVERAGE: NO STANDARD FOR BUILDING ENVELOPES NO CHANGE GRFA: GRFA: 16000 SF OR 3200 SF PER BUILDING ENVELOPE 17600 SF OR 3520 SF PER BUILDING ENVELOPE DENSITY: DENSITY: 5 DWELLING UNITS + 5 EMPLOYEE DWELLING UNITS NO CHANGE LANDSCAPING: LANDSCAPING: TRACT 1: 2.5 ACRES WILL BE DEDICATED OPE SPACE; NO CHANGE OR 69% OF THE TOTAL SITE PARKING: PARKING: ATLEAST ONE ENCLOSED PARKING SPACE, PER NO CHANGE DWELLING UNIT, WILL BE PROVIDED. 5/7/2013 PEC APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION_03202013 9 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 5/7/2013 THIS GRAPHIC DISPLAYS THE NON-CONTIGUOS GREEN AREAS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF BUFFEHR CREEK ROAD IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED RELOCATION OF LOT 1 – ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION PEC_AMENDMENT TO AN SDD APPLICATION_ELK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION 5/7/2013 96'-0"31'-0" 27'-9 " 24'-0" R27'-1034"R27'-103 4" 5/7/2013 i _. _ .,,, s 5/7/2013 R28'-0" R28'- 0 " 70'-0" 20'-0" 3'-0" 70'-0" 3 3 ' - 0 " 3 3 ' - 0 " 3'-0" 24'-0" 24'-0"24'-0"33'-0" Pr o posed Site Plan 5/7/2013 S' s ORDINANCE N0. 17 Series of 1990 AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REENACTING ORDINANCE NO. 32 SERIES OF 1987, TO PROVIDE CHANGES TO SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT N0. 16 THAT CONCERN A REDUCTION OF THE NUMBER OF UNITS PERMITTED; ADJUSTING THE GROSS RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA PER UNIT; EMPLOYEE DWELLING UNITS; AND ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS TN REGARD THERETO WHEREAS, Chapter 18.40 of the Vail Municipal Code authorizes Special Development Districts within the Town; and WHEREAS, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 32, Series of 1987 establishing Special Development District No. 16; and WHEREAS, Brad and Susan T~ossem have requested to amend the existing Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows, for a certain parcel of property within the Town know as The Valley, Phase III, part of Parcel A, Lion's Ridge Subdivision, Filing No. 2; and WHEREAS, there is an identified need for employee housing in the community; and WHEREAS, the Town of Vail has not adapted formal policies to encourage the development of employee housing units; and WHEREAS, the Special Development District provides far creativity and flexibility to allow for the development of employee housing; and WHEREAS, the Town Planning staff and Planning and Environmental Commission has recommended that certain changes be made in Special Development District No. 16; and WHEREAS, the Town Council considers that it is reasonable, appropriate, and beneficial to the Town and its citizens, inhabitants, and visitors to repeal and reenact Ordinance No. 32, Series of 1987 to provide for such changes in Special Development District No. 16, Elk Meadows.

Section 3, Purbose. Special Development District 16 is established to ensure comprehensive development and use of an area that will be harmonious with the general character of the Town of Vail. The development is regarded as complimentary to the Town, by the Town Council, and meets all design standards as set forth in Section 18.40 of the Municipal code. As stated in the staff memorandum dated April 9, 1990, there are significant aspects of Special Development District 16 which are difficult to satisfy through the imposition of the standards of the Residential Cluster zone district. SDD No. 16 allows for greater flexibility in the development of the land than would be possible under the current zoning of the property. In order to help preserve the natural, scenic features of this site, building envelopes will be established which designate the areas upon the site in which development will occur. 'The establishment of these building envelopes will also permit the phasing of the development to proceed according to each individual owner's ability to construct a residence. SDD No. 16 provides an appropriate development plan that maintains the unique character of this site, given the difficult site constraints which must be addressed in the overall design of the project. Section 4. Develot~ment Plan. A. The development plan for SDD No. 16 is approved and shall constitute the plan for development within the Special Development Distract. The development plan is comprised of those plans submitted by Brad and Susan T~ossem and consists of the following documents, which will be finalized at the mayor subdivision final plat review: ' 1.

The Wayfinding Project is a Component of Town of Vail Guest Service Enhancement Initiative PRESENTER(S): Greg Hall, Dave Tweed and Janet Martin Stantec/CommArts ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Vail Town Council is asked to review the Design Development Package as presented and provide direction and approval with the various components of the package to move the project toward implementation. The next step would be the creation of engineered Construction Documents to obtain CDOT final approval and sign fabrication solicitation. BACKGROUND: Since 2010 when the Vail Town Council identified “Improved Guest Service” as a top priority to complement the completion of Vail’s redevelopment, staff has been working to address the town’s critical role in the delivery of guest services through a phased Guest Service Enhancement Initiative. As such, significant operational and annual capital investments are being made to fund improvements to wayfinding, parking operations and guest facilities. These elements, coupled with investments in marketing and events, are being used to strengthen Vail’s overall economic vitality. In January 2011 CommArts/Stantec was selected during a competitive process to assist the town with its goal to expand the quality and integration of services to enhance the guest experience in all seasons. Initial phases of this work have included program and design elements for the Lionshead Welcome Center, phased refinements to the town’s wayfinding system and conceptual options for remodel of the Vail Village Welcome Center. The focus of this presentation is the Design Development Package for wayfinding signs encompassing the interstate, off ramps, main Vail roundabouts, south frontage road and signs within the Village and Lionshead parking structures. The 2013 and 2014 Town of Vail budgets include $3.3 million in the Capital Projects Fund for the implementation of the overall wayfinding project in anticipation of the World Alpine Ski Championships in 2015. The Vail Town Council approved the Conceptual Design Package at the August 7, 2012 meeting. The consultant and town staffs have been working with CDOT and FHWA as well as the Wayfinding Advisory Group and AIPP to develop a Design Development package for Town Council review and approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town Council is requested to review, comment and provide direction and approval on the Design Development Package of Phase 1 of the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project.

SUMMARY The purpose of this agenda item is to update the Town Council on the Design Development of the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project. This includes a review of scope and priority setting for implementation phases. The 2012 Capital Projects Fund includes $1.1 million for the project’s first year, another $2.2 million is programed in 2013 and 2014 for completion by the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships. II. BACKGROUND The Town Council reviewed the Conceptual Design for Phase 1 projects at the August 7, 2012 Town Council meeting in addition to an overview of the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project at its March 6, 2012 meeting, which included approval of guiding principles, project scope and process. Today’s meeting will provide an update on the work that has transpired since the August 7 meeting. III. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The design development process for the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project is based on an overall conceptual master plan that addresses the signage and wayfinding elements as reviewed by the Town Council on August 7, 2012. Essentially, the conceptual package is a blueprint that contains the guiding principles and desired outcomes for a 2012-2015 signage system refinement and renovation. It presents the visual vocabulary for the conceptual design and character of the entire family of signs that set the tone for this new improvement. Contextual design issues were discussed with an Advisory Group before beginning conceptual design. These issues included the appropriate uses of districting, scale, materials and technology, directories, international components, messaging and information depth, lighting and accessibility priorities. The design development is the full plan with regards to completing the details of all the signs within the package. It develops the full scope of the project with regard to number, size, materials, placement of signs, sign messages, the context of the various types of sign types discussed in the conceptual design and flushes out the full extent of the plan. The plan identifies a blueprint in which sign fabricators can assemble pricing and develop shop drawings for approval prior to installation. 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 2 Because many of the signs are within the jurisdiction of the Colorado Department and Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), The design development package was required to begin the extensive review process with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The project was reviewed with the Wayfinding Advisory Group to obtain input on specific messaging and requests from the initial CDOT review in order to revise the CDOT plan resubmittal and clarify issues regarding other elements of the plan set. In addition, the sign program within the LIonshead parking structure was revised to retain public art murals as recommended by the Art in Public Places Board. The package is now ready to engage in the detailed engineering drawings (construction documents) for CDOT and FHWA final approval. In addition, the package is in the form necessary to distribute to sign fabricators for those signs not needing CDOT and FHWA approval. The Advisory Group is an expansion of the 13 member panel used to assist with the Lionshead Welcome Center programming and includes representation from the Lionshead, Vail Village and West Vail business and lodging community, Vail Economic Advisory Council, Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council, Vail Town Council, Vail Chamber and Business Association, Vail Valley Partnership, Vail Homeowners Association and Vail Info Inc. Using the project principles adopted by the Town Council, the advisory group met three times to review and comment on the initial concepts. The Design Development Wayfinding package is a result of the professional recommendations and experience of CommArts/Stantec, CDOT/FHWA review and concurrence, working with the support and collaboration of the town staff and Advisory Group participants. IV. PROJECT SCOPE The first phase of the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project has been completed to a design development package for the following elements to be implemented: Phase 1 • Interstate Sign Enhancements • Off ramp signage and integration of Variable Message Signs • Roundabout Sign Enhancements/Variable Message Signs Including Entry Features • Frontage Road Directional and Destination Enhancement Signs • Parking Garage Graphics and Enhancements Phase 2 • Village Pedestrian Signs • Street Name Signs along the Frontage Road • Intown Bus Stops • Directories • Banner Poles • Other 5/7/2013 Town of Vail Page 3 Prior to moving the Phase 1 portion of the project to the next step in the implementation process, staff is seeking Town Council input and approval of the recommended design development package.

Design Brief and Principles CommArts/Stantec has diligently pursued concepts for a new wayfinding system for the Town of Vail that can enhance the guest experience and keep our guests and visitors safe and found. These signing elements (as listed above) introduce a new scale, particularly along the frontage road to ensure that information is provided at the right place, at the right moment, at the right scale and in the right voice. The boldest recommendation in the package is the cantilevered signs that require approvals by numerous agencies and boards, but also create an iconic element, unique to Vail. The cantilevered signage provides a gesture of traditional welcome, combined with static and variable message technology to provide changeable, up-to-the minute travel and parking information for the Vail guest. These new signage elements will assist in achieving the four overarching objectives of the approved Design Brief. The mission of these wayfinding elements is four fold: To Orient, To Clarify, To Simplify and To Celebrate. The adopted guiding principles used by CommArts/Stantec and the Advisory Group for the Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Project have also been included as an attachment to this document. B. Notes on the Cantilever Wayfinding Elements In the September 2009 Final Technical Memorandum on the Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Implementation Plan Evaluation and Recommendations, prepared for the Town of Vail Public Works by Apex Design and Kimley-Horn, a recommendation is provided that at and near the I-70 corridor off ramps, low signage be replaced with new signs as the existing signs are not effectively used or located. The report recommends that, “these signs be replaced with new signs…It would be preferred to have these signs mounted on an aesthetic overhead sign structure to provide optimal sign visibility.” The Stantec recommended cantilever signs address the following issues: •OPTIMAL LOCATION TO DISPENSE INFORMATION Signs located over the roadway are the easiest to be seen by oncoming traffic, especially at transitional speeds, as on the exit ramps. Overhead signs are easiest to see in crowded vehicular situations, like the roundabouts. Furthermore, overhead signs can never be blocked by parked vehicles. • LOCATE OUTBOARD OF STRESSFUL ROUNDABOUTS Roundabouts contain a lot of directional signage in a relatively small, fast-paced, crowded environment. Overhead thresholds to the two Town Center villages are best located just beyond the roundabout, identifying the route to each, rather than adding to the clutter within the roundabout. • CANTILEVERED STRUCTURES HAVE ONLY ONE LEG There is a desire to have as little additional clutter as possible. A cantilevered assembly is able to provide an overhead location for important information with half the footprints. 5/7/2013 • PART OF A LARGER FAMILY OF SIGNS There is a desire not to install the heavy, unattractive CDOT structures. The visual character of these elements would be part of an overall family of signage unique to the Town of Vail. Their design and detailing make use of lightweight structural elements in combination to diminish the visual mass. These elements present a graceful context and appropriate character while fulfilling their complex but critical functional goals. 5/7/2013 1112 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302 TEL 303.447.8202 FAX 303.440.7069 www.commarts-boulder.com www.stantec.com TOWN OF VAIL MUNICIPAL SIGNAGE AND WAYFINDING TOWN OF VAIL MUNICIPAL SIGNAGE AND WAYFINDING VAIL VILLAGE PARKING STRUCTURE SIGNAGE Design Development May 7, 2013 prepared for the 5/7/2013 TO W N O F V A I L M U N I C I P A L S I G N A G E & W A Y F I N D I N G VAIL VILLAGE PARKING STRUCTURE SIGNAGE Design Development May 7, 2013 Town of Vail Parking Structures PROJECT Greg Hall, Town of Vail CLIENT CONTACT HB, JM, DT TEAM Sign Inventory- Vail Village Parking Structure 0.1 1112 Pearl Street Boulder, CO 80302TEL 303.447.8202 FAX 303.440.7069www.commarts-boulder.comwww.stantec.com These drawings express visual design intent only.

These can be laminated and stored on site for swift change out. Preferred version uses the garage colors, typefaces and symbols. Start with available paper sizes: tabloid or letter. Avoid that “copier paper sign” look by trimming paper to a square format: 11" or 8 1/2" squares. If larger paper is available, trim those signs to a square format as well. Use the same colors as prescribed in this package (a CMYK build will be included with the template files provided). All signs to have a full bleed P.2 (Dk. Blue) background. Use the project font (Helvetica Neue Lt. Std. 77 Bold Condensed), in white, centered and in all caps (for short messages. U&lc is also permitted). Letter size should be as large as possible, dependent upon message word count. It is recommended that signs can be laminated for long term use. Signs mounted as required. Colored tapes (masking, packing, duct, electrical, etc.) should never be visible. Use double sided tape, or tape loops. On glass, use clear tape only. Plan B is for use when new situations arise and a sign is needed immediately without time for preparation. Plan B consists of these guidelines only. No template is provided as these will be crafted on site with the equipment available (locations and resources will vary). Start with available paper sizes: tabloid or letter. Avoid that “copier paper sign” look by trimming paper to a square format: 11" or 8 1/2" squares. If larger paper is available, trim those signs to a square format as well. Use a condensed, bold sans serif typeface. See acceptable fonts at right. Messages should be All Caps and centered. Letter size should be as large as possible, depending upon message length. Signs mounted as required. Colored tapes (masking, packing, duct, electrical, etc.) should never be visible. Use double sided tape, or tape loops. On glass, use clear tape only. CAUTION WET PAINT CREDIT CARDS ONLY Font choice will depend upon available resources, other bold, condensed sans serif fonts can be used: NARROW BOLD BELL GOTHIC BLACK FRANKLIN GOTHIC CONDENSED HELVETICA BOLD CONDENSED IMPACT MYRIAD BOLD CONDENSED TRADE GOTHIC BOLD CONDENSED COPPERPLATE BOLD HELVETICA NEUE LT.

These can be laminated and stored on site for swift change out. Preferred version uses the garage colors, typefaces and symbols. Start with available paper sizes: tabloid or letter. Avoid that “copier paper sign” look by trimming paper to a square format: 11" or 8 1/2" squares. If larger paper is available, trim those signs to a square format as well. Use the same colors as prescribed in this package (a CMYK build will be included with the template files provided). All signs to have a full bleed P.3 (Dk. Lionshead Red) background. Use the project font (Helvetica Neue Lt. Std. 77 Bold Condensed), in white, centered and in all caps (for short messages. U&lc is also permitted). Letter size should be as large as possible, dependent upon message word count. It is recommended that signs can be laminated for long term use. Signs mounted as required. Colored tapes (masking, packing, duct, electrical, etc.) should never be visible. Use double sided tape, or tape loops. On glass, use clear tape only. Plan B is for use when new situations arise and a sign is needed immediately without time for preparation. Plan B consists of these guidelines only. No template is provided as these will be crafted on site with the equipment available (locations and resources will vary). Start with available paper sizes: tabloid or letter. Avoid that “copier paper sign” look by trimming paper to a square format: 11" or 8 1/2" squares. If larger paper is available, trim those signs to a square format as well. Use a condensed, bold sans serif typeface. See acceptable fonts at right. Messages should be All Caps and centered. Letter size should be as large as possible, depending upon message length. Signs mounted as required. Colored tapes (masking, packing, duct, electrical, etc.) should never be visible. Use double sided tape, or tape loops. On glass, use clear tape only. CAUTION WET PAINT CREDIT CARDS ONLY Font choice will depend upon available resources, other bold, condensed sans serif fonts can be used: NARROW BOLD BELL GOTHIC BLACK FRANKLIN GOTHIC CONDENSED HELVETICA BOLD CONDENSED IMPACT MYRIAD BOLD CONDENSED TRADE GOTHIC BOLD CONDENSED COPPERPLATE BOLD HELVETICA NEUE LT.

Add Alt: Graphics painted onto 2mm Sintra (or equivalent) and adhered to the wall surface. This sign type must work in tandem with Overhead Vehicular Directional signs, as these wall signs become occluded in heavy exit traffic. When the wayfinding signage interacts with the public art program, a simple rectangular white field is to replace the existing lozenge shaped field.
