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 (60 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

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, 5/21/2013

Subject: Wayfinding Guest Enhancement Design Development Phase 1 Update
I. 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.
5/21/2013
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.

At the very least- garage signage should
be updated to read “Vail Village Parking”.
In addition, this entry should say
“You’ve arrived!” befitting the Vail brand.
Vehicular Entries
Pedestrian Entries West entry, still includes (taped out)
Crossroads message.
Center entry
Tenants should be controlled
East entry
Welcome Center and skier drop-off entry
is totally underwhelming.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN INTENT
A. 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.
5/21/2013
• 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.

Buildings with enclosed stairwells that connect more than three floors
are required to provide stairwell informational sign panels. THis garage
has 4 levels.
These signs are to identify the stair identification number, the current

roof access (top parking deck, in our case) is not available. For
simplicity sake, if roof access is available, no message is required.

SCALE: 3" = 1'-0"Plan B- B&W Laser Printer
Preferred version is to be used when needs are known in
advance, with time for preparation. 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.

Graphics painted P.2 (Dk Blue) directly onto painted wall
surfaces.
Graphics high enough so as not to be completely
occluded by vehicles.
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.
The East wall of the garage typically
has a vent where this sign wants to be
located. These locations will require
the sign to be placed lower on the
wall.
All ad panels will be removed from
these locations.

Currently, there is no call for a Primary Pedestrian
Entry.
These entries into the parking structure are a
collection of other sign types:
1.3.1- Icon Panel Level I.D.1.4.1- Icon Panel Facility I.D.
The East entry into the garage did not share in the
improvements that came with the construction of the
Lionshead Welcome Center. Material finishes such as
stone clad and sandstone capped stair walls, corten
metal paneling and wood siding are absent at this
entry. It does not appear to be the same garage at all.
Signage aside, material improvements can be added to
this entry to make it commensurate with the other two
garage entries off the street.

This sign is included in the
Lionshead Welcome Center Sign Package

Messages vary, as do the sizes of the signs. The
important principle here is that all signs have the same
“voice” (color and type face). The majority of this sign
type actually occurs at the entry gates.
All signs are .125" aluminum panels painted P.3 (Dk.
Lionshead Red) all visible surfaces.
Graphics are V.1 (Reflective White).
Signs secured to wall surfaces with stud mounts and
construction adhesive.
Note- there may be locations other than concrete walls.

1 Layout
SCALE: 3" = 1'-0"Preferred Version- Color Printer
2 Layout
SCALE: 3" = 1'-0"Plan B- B&W Laser Printer
Preferred version is to be used when needs are known in
advance, with time for preparation. 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.

These drawings express visual design intent only. Final
engineering, materials and fabrication shall remain the
responsibility of the fabricator.
Graphics painted P.3 (Dk Lionshead Red) directly onto
painted wall surfaces.
Graphics high enough so as not to be completely occluded
by vehicles, if possible (there are roof deck conditions
where this is not possible).
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. White field to begin 2' above
floor allowing the art’s field color to continue
below.

RE: Vail Youth Recognition Award
______________________________________________________________________________
The Town of Vail has created an annual Vail Youth Recognition Award to be given to a qualified
recipient, one each from Battle Mountain High School and the Vail Mountain School. Listed
below are the basic components for this award:
I. Purpose
II. Organization
III. Criteria
IV. Process
V. Award & Recipients
I. PURPOSE: The purpose of the award is to recognize and reinforce outstanding
achievement by youth of the Upper Eagle Valley, both for their individual achievements and as
role models for their peers. The Vail Town Council created this award to acknowledge and
reward students from our community schools.
II. ORGANIZATION: The Town of Vail will solicit recipients from the administration/
faculty of both Battle Mountain and the Vail Mountain School. Each school's
administration/faculty should nominate one student and be personally aware of the nominated
student's achievements and citizenship efforts. The Vail Town Council must then accept the
nominee. The student nominated from each school should be a resident of the Town of Vail. In
the event a qualified applicant from within the Town of Vail boundaries cannot be proposed by
the school, consideration will be given to an 11th grader within the RE50J school district and
attending Battle Mountain High School or the Vail Mountain School.
III. CRITERIA: It is extremely important that the school select a candidate who has fulfilled
all the criteria to the highest degree. The Council feels this is a special award and the criteria will
be strongly adhered to in the review process. It is important the nominee have enough life
experience to have distinction in several areas, not just one or two. All Council members must
be in agreement that the candidate fulfills all criteria. Therefore, the more information submitted,

especially supplemental information such as newspaper clippings, copies of awards, statements
from other individuals, and so on, the better.
a. The applicant must be a resident of the Town of Vail and a resident of the Eagle
County School District enrolled either as an 11th grader at either Battle Mountain
or the Vail Mountain School as a full-time student. In the event an appropriate
candidate from within the Town of Vail boundaries cannot be found,
consideration will be given to a full-time student who is a resident in RE50J.
b. In addition to academic excellence, the applicant shall have accomplished
something special through athletics, civic activities, fine or the performing arts.
c. The applicant must exemplify ideals that set standards for other students in all
facets of their lives.
d. The applicant cannot be older than nineteen (19) years of age.
IV. PROCESS: Candidate nominations (one from each school) must be received based on
the criteria supplied by the Vail Town Council. Based on these applications, the school will
present its nomination to the Youth Recognition Award Selection Committee. The school's
nomination must be received by the committee no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, May 6th,
2013. A representative of the Council will then review the candidates and grant final approval
prior to notification of the recipient. Applications may be mailed, hand-delivered or
arrangements can be made for a representative to pick up the application from your respective
school. Mail or drop off applications to:
Scott O’Connell
Vail Valley Exchange & Town of Vail Selection Committee
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Or, contact Scott O'Connell directly for pick up at (970) 390-9731
V. AWARD & RECIPIENTS: Awards will consist of engraved plaques bearing the
recipients names to be placed on permanent display in the Vail Municipal Building, as well as a
$1,000 scholarship to the college or university of their choice. The Award will be presented to
the recipients by a member of the Town of Vail’s Youth Recognition Award selection committee
at the recipient’s annual school awards ceremonies each spring. Additionally, the award
designees will be introduced to the community and recognized by the Town Council at an
evening Vail Town Council meeting tentatively scheduled for May 21st 2013.

Ford Park Parking Lot Slope Revegitation Memorandum
5/21/2013
To: Vail Town Council
From: Greg Hall
Date: May 21, 2013
Subject: Ford Park Parking Lot Slope Revegetation
The Town of Vail Public Works Department has investigated the slope below the
parking lot at Ford Park. The area is just less than 2 acres in size. The slopes range
from 1.5:1 to 2:1 with over 45' of elevation difference. This site was used as a snow
dump for many years until a new snow dump was constructed at the public works shop
in the early 1990's. Once the new snow dump was constructed, the Ford Park Site was
cleaned up. The accumulation of cinders at this site was several feet thick. Loaders
were used to bring some material to the top. The loaders were cabled together with one
loader descending the slope as a second loader secured the first on the decent and
then pulled the loader back up the slope, a similar operation of placing top soil down the
slope was used. The top soil was screened and approximately 6-8" was placed on the
slope. The slope was then reseeded.
Overall the vegetation established fairly well considering the steep conditions. In the
early 2000's an extensive out break of the noxious weed Myrtle Spurge was discovered
on the slope. The control of the noxious weed resulted in much of the non grass species
being eliminated. What exist today are grasses and some bare spots resulting from both
not all the area completely taking seed and through the noxious weed control. A quick
estimate shows 20-40% of the slope could use some reclamation work. Due to the
steep slopes it would require hand raking loose cinders to the bottom of the slope and
then using a similar method of cabled loaders to haul the cinders up the slope in a
concentrated haul path. The more tedious job would be the placement of additional
topsoil. This work is would most likely be required to be done by hand in order to not
disturb the majority of the slope that is already vegetated. This may be in the form of a
fire type brigade of buckets or raking down on the upper portions of the site. The
concentrated haul route of the loader would be done by the method previously
employed before.
The estimate of this work is in the $50,000-$100,000 range depending on the extent of
disturbance beyond what currently needs to be vegetated and what additional
disturbance may require additional work. The estimate includes the placement of plugs
of herbaceous plant material as well.

MEMORANDUM
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Community Development Director
Date: May 21, 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 May 7, 2103. To aid
in the discussion, this memorandum provides an updated 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, four of the nine chapters of the new master plan were developed in a draft form
and shared with the Town Council on May 7. 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. A number of revisions have been made to the draft plan in response
to input and feedback received at the May 7th meeting. Does the Town Council agree
with the revised 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. Seven sub
areas for planning purposes have been 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?
5/21/2013

3. A number of action steps have been proposed in the plan. The actions steps are specific
steps which need to be taken in order to successfully achieve the goals stated in the
master plan. By their nature, some of the action steps required more immediate action
while others are contingent upon other factors or actions taking place first. Because the
action steps will, in some instances, required the allocation of staff time or the
expenditure of monies, it is important that the Town Council agrees understands the
action steps being proposed. Does the Town Council agree with the action steps that
have been identified to date? Are there any other actions that the Town Council
believes should be taken and therefore identified in the plan?
4. A significant amount of time has been put into the creation of the 2013 Gerald R. Ford
Park Master Plan to date. As a result, many important issues have been discussed and
addressed and initial input and feedback has been provided by the community. The
direction the plan is headed has taken shape. Based upon the progress made to date, town
staff is prepared to advance the master planning process to the next steps. The
recommended next steps include public hearings on the proposed plan with the Planning
& Environmental Commission and an open house type of meeting with the community
and stakeholders. Given the progress made on the plan to date and in consideration
of the project schedule, is the Town Council prepared to grant staff permission to
move the planning process forward to the PEC? If yes, it is recommended that the
Town Council and the PEC hold a joint session on the plan in the near future. If deemed
acceptable, the Vail Town Council, acting on behalf of the owner of Ford Park, should
instruct staff to prepare a master plan amendment application for review consistent with
the Town’s adopted processes.
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, June 4th with additional proposed master plan
language and options for future implementation.

2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Update
April 30, 2013, revised May 16, 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 combination of natural
open space along the Gore Creek corridor 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
each has contributed to the role of the Park in how it serves the community. These
previous planning efforts were:

D R A F T
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 2
1974 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 these previous planning efforts are 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 community input, debate,
and sometimes controversy, but in all cases was done with great passion for the Park
as the Vail community has worked toward finding the appropriate mixture of
development and use of the Park along with the preservation of the Park’s special
natural features and the unique role it plays in the community. The outcome of each of
these each planning efforts were meant to implement the original vision for the park as
outlined in the statement above from the 1974 Vail Plan.

Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 3
The 2013 Gerald R. 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 are 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.
With the adoption of this 2013 Plan previous plans for Ford Park will be archived and no
longer used as guides for future decision-making or planning for the Park. The 2013
Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan will serve as the Town’s sole master plan for the 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
While the 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 how specific areas of the Park will be managed and to establish
expectations on potential future improvements within the Park.
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. The 2013 Plan expands and
refines these design criteria.
8. Park Management
Park management is provided in this section, along with discussion of how the
Town will review proposals for new uses or buildings within the Park.

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 the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan
update process. These prior planning efforts include:
The 1974 Vail Plan
A portion of this town-wide plan addresses Ford Park and while the plan did not include
formal goal, objective and policy statements, it does describe what community
expectations regarding the purchase of the Anholtz property and provides a broad
statement of goals for the 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 and policy statements 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, objective and policy statements from the 1997 Plan have been expanded to
reflect 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 decision-making 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. Action steps
involve specific actions to be taken in implementing the goal and objective statements.
The more a proposal for future development or improvements within the Park complies
with the goals, policies and objectives of this plan the more likely it is to be approved in
the review process.

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 a
number of buildings) on the Upper Bench with passive open space areas 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 the development of an
amphitheater were initiated on the Lower Bench. These plans and the early
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 passive and cultural uses.
5/21/2013
D R A F T
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 22
The characterization of athletic use on the Upper Bench and passive and cultural use
on the Lower Bench remain valid today, and the terms Upper Bench and Lower Bench
provide a good, albeit generalized description of 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 the Park that need to be considered in
this master planning process. It is for this reason the 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master
Plan adopted 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 for the future of Ford
Park, specifically how the Park will be managed and used 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 change if it is to 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
or 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 many 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 sub-areas are “planning area designations” and were created to better
understanding the Park, its current and future uses, and to better define expectations for
how the Park may change in the future. It is important to note that while the sub-areas
were drawn with considerable thought and attention to a number of important
considerations, they should not be considered hard “parcel” or “plat” lines. It is
reasonable to anticipate that when considering future improvements for the Park that
some latitude with the location of a sub-area boundary may be appropriate. That said,
any interpretation as to the intention of a sub-area boundary must be made in the
context of the overall goals for the Park and the vision for that particular sub-area.
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 into parts.
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. With
Ford Park the adage “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” clearly applies.

Parking/Transit Sub-Area
The Parking/Transit Sub-Area provides the only on-site parking for the Park and also
includes a transit stop, a passenger car drop-off area and a central trash/storage facility.
Strategically located along the South Frontage Road on the northern 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 improvements to the athletic fields in 2013 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 South 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 parking lot was designed such that it can continue to be used for concerts and
other special events. It is anticipated that this use will continue.

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.
• 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, team sports, tournaments and
events at Ford Park. The location of these uses – proximate to the Frontage Road and
parking and removed from the lower commons area and Gore Creek Corridor is
consistent with some of the earliest goals established for the Park.
Over the years significant plantings have created a landscape 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).

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 west end of the Park
along the Frontage Road and the two pedestrian portals from the parking lot.
• Enhanced landscape buffer around the perimeter of the sub-area.
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 provides some of
the Park’s most important and popular facilities. Collectively these facilities address a
multitude of goals and objectives for the Park – they provide sites for recreation, sites
for passive use and the quiet enjoyment of the Park, buffers between uses, transitions
to the natural Gore Creek corridor and contribute to maintaining the “open feeling” of the
lower bench.
This sub-area should be managed and used such that the area continues to address
the goals and objectives listed above. There are no major changes contemplated to the
three distinct, yet related uses that occur in this area. These three uses are:
5/21/2013

Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 27
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 restrooms at the playground 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 area.
Open Turf Area
Aside from natural open space areas along Gore Creek, 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, informal “games” and other passive recreation use. 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.
The turf area should not be reduced in size and no buildings or structures, temporary or
otherwise should be permitted in this area. In the past the southern end of the open turf
area has been used for temporary events (weddings, parties, etc.) that involved the
placement of tents and other features within the turf area. These temporary uses
encroach on the open turf area and draw significant amounts of vehicular 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. The southern
boundary of the Creek Corridor is located along the natural “grade break” where terrain
drops down to 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. Art
programs may include activities such as interactive events, installations, educational
and participatory activities. The passive use and under-developed character of this
area also provides an excellent 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 well established and as such the need for future potential
improvements is limited. The only improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area are:

Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 29
• 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 since that time 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.
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 amphitheater. The design intent and objective of this
improvement 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.
The compatibility of the Amphitheater with the athletic fields has been an ongoing
issue. It is important to continually monitor these two uses to ensure compatibility
between these (and all park) users are maintained. It is important to protect and
enhance areas of existing vegetation in and around the Amphitheater and where
appropriate improve the physical buffers between these uses. The implementation of
noise mitigation at the north end of the amphitheater is under consideration as a means
of minimizing noise impacts from the athletic fields and Interstate 70.

2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 30
The Amphitheater is a significant generator of people and also generates a significant
amount of vehicular traffic into the Lower Bench. Vehicular traffic into the Lower Bench
conflicts 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 at the Amphitheater
that would generate appreciably more vehicular traffic should be permitted.
Future Improvements
Improvements made to the Amphitheater in 2012 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.
• Noise mitigation measures at the north side of the Amphitheater.
There are a number of important parameters to be considered in the design and
development of the Public Plaza. These parameters are described in greater detail in
the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan.

Alpine Gardens Sub-Area
The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens (BFAG) 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 Management Plan the location for this facility
was suggested to be within the Soccer Field Sub-Area. BFAG is interested in a location
for this building that is 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 this 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.

There are a number of important parameters to be considered in the design and
potential development of the Alpine Gardens educational center. These parameters
are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan.
The potential expansion of the gardens west of the old school house would be on land
currently within the Lower Commons Sub-Area. Any expansion in this area would need
to be coordinated with AIPP and other uses within this sub-area.

Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area
The Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area includes the entire length of the Gore Creek
Corridor, including the +/-7 acre Nature Center and the portion of Gore Creek between
Silfer Square and the western end of the Park (that has been incorporated into the
boundary of Ford Park). The boundary of the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area is
generally defined by the park boundary on the south and by a variety of site
considerations on the north (100 year flood plain, 50 foot Gore Creek setback and
topography). Gore Creek and associated wetland and riparian habitat are the primary
feature of this sub-area. Existing improvements within this sub-area are limited to
bridges, trails, utility improvements and the Nature Center.
The Gore Creek corridor is the Park’s most significant natural feature and the
designation of this corridor as a “preservation zone” is in direct response to a number of
goals and objectives from previous park planning efforts. Preservation of this area is
also suggested by Goal #1 and Objective 1.3 of this Plan. (see Section 3). The creek
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 that not only 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. Any adverse affects of
adjacent uses should be mitigated to the extent possible.
It is intended that existing uses and improvements within the Gore Creek Preservation
Sub-Area be maintained, however in keeping with the goals of preserving this area no
new buildings or bridges should be permitted and any other new uses or improvements
should be limited to those that will complement the natural character of this area.
Specific considerations regarding uses within this sub-area include:
• It is acknowledged that the Nature Center will host a higher level of use and
activity than other portions of this sub-area, however such uses should be
confined to the “upland” portions of the Nature Center and not impact the creek
corridor.
• Low-impact improvements such as soft surface walking paths, fishing access,
creek/stream bank restoration projects may be permitted provided such
improvements are done in a manner that minimizes impacts to this sensitive
environment (i.e. avoidance of wetland habitat, use of “best management
practices during construction, etc.).

• Utilities, drainage improvements, additional creek crossings should not be
initiated within this sub-area unless no practical alternative is available.
• The portion of this sub-area between the main portion of Ford Park and Silfer
Square provides important pedestrian access to and from Vail Village and the
Vail Village Parking Structure. This corridor is heavily used by users of the Park.
To enhance the quality of this pedestrian corridor and to ensure its effectiveness
as an alternative means of accessing the Park, seating areas and art installations
may be appropriate (i.e. outside of wetland areas and the 100-year flood plain)
along this corridor.
Fisherman access to Gore Creek, while currently not an issue (i.e. excessive use from
foot traffic that resulting in segregation to riparian areas and vegetation), 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 evaluate the
feasibility of establishing a conservation easement for this area. The protection afforded
by a conservation easement would permanently define limitations on the use of this
area and in doing so establish permanence to the goal of preserving this creek corridor
Future Improvements
Future improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area include:
• Enhancement and restoration of vegetation along the creek corridor.
• Enhance the walkway between Vail Village and the Park to include
improvements such as seating, art installations, etc.
• Initiate the removal of or reduction in parking located at the Nature Center.

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 uses should
continue as they 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).
Approximately 65 parking spaces are located within the sub-area. These spaces
provide parking for the athletic field during summer months and during the winter the
parking is used for employee parking.
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

Part 6 - FORD PARK ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN
The 2013 Ford Park Illustrative Plan provides a general description of future
improvements contemplated for Ford Park. These descriptions indicate the location of
the improvement within the Park, a summary of the proposed improvement and
parameters or criteria to be considered in the design and development of the
improvement. The parameters and criteria are of particular importance as they
establish expectations for the specific design and operation of the proposed
improvement. Conformance to these parameters and criteria is a requisite to any
proposed improvements being approved by the Town.
The Illustrative Plan is a vision for how the Park may be improved in the future. It is not
the intention of the Illustrative Plan to suggest that only those improvements depicted on
the Illustrative Plan may be proposed. Improvements not depicted on the Illustrative
Plan may be proposed and will be reviewed relative to their conformance with the
overall goals, objectives and policies for the Park and the Ford Park Sub-area(s). It
should also be understood that the improvements being depicted on the Illustrative Plan
does not ensure if or when they will be implemented. Decisions on if or when
improvements may be proposed will be made by the Town of Vail or by Park
leaseholders.
The 2013 Ford Park Illustrative Plan replaces site plans from the 1997 Ford Park
Management Plan and the Illustrative Plan from the 2012 Update. Many improvements
contemplated by these previous plans have been implemented. Such improvements
are graphically depicted on the 2013 Illustrative Plan as “exiting conditions”
Any future improvement propose for the Park is subject to approval by the Town Council
and further review by the Town’s review boards prior to being implemented. This review
may involve the Planning and Environmental Commission (Conditional Use Permit,
Development Plan review) and the Design Review Board prior to being implemented.
On the following page is the Ford Park Illustrative Plan. This Plan includes “numbered
symbols” which identify future improvements to the Park. Narrative descriptions of
these improvements follow, along with design and operational parameters and criteria to
be considered in the review of proposed improvements.

Improvement #1 – Gore Creek Corridor Enhancements
There are a number of areas within the Gore Creek corridor where erosion, use or other
factors have disturbed or otherwise adversely impacted existing vegetation. A
restoration program should be implemented to improve vegetation where necessary.
The Illustrative Plan indicates a number of areas along the Creek where enhancements
could occur. These “indicators” are diagrammatic in nature. A detailed assessment of
the creek corridor is necessary in order to determine precisely where and to what extent
restoration is needed. Following completion of this assessment a detailed landscape
plan for the restoration of the corridor should be prepared.
A parallel effort to evaluate the condition of the creek bank should also be implemented
to identify the potential need for stream bank stabilization.
Improvement #2 – Entry Monumentation at Park’s pedestrian entries
Pedestrians enter Ford Park from one of seven existing portals. Refer to the Illustrative
Plan for these seven locations. Currently there is inadequate signage or other features
identifying these locations as entry points to the Park. The goal of this improvement is
to formally identify these portals and announce them as “arrival points” to Ford Park.
Landscape features, signage, bollards, monuments, archways and other design
features, or some combination thereof, could be used to identify these locations as
arrival points to the Park. A design process is necessary to evaluate alternative designs
for these improvements. While specific solutions for these “entry improvements” could
vary between locations, all should share a common design vocabulary. It will also be
important to locate these improvements in a way that compliments the adjacent
pedestrian corridor and does not compromise pedestrian circulation.
Improvement #3 – Betty Ford Alpine Garden Educational Center
The Alpine Gardens has pursued the development of an alpine education center within
the Park for a number of years. The building is envisioned to include multi-use space
for educational programs and other activities, a green house and limited administrative
space. At a conceptual level three potential locations have been identified for this
building. 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 relate to the Town’s
overall goals and objectives for the Park.
Below are design and operational parameters and criteria to be considered relative to
each of these three locations. It is anticipated that when the BFAG desires to initiate
5/21/2013

discussion of this building conceptual designs will be provided to the Town for one or
more of these potential sites. Any decision regarding a proposed building will be made
based on how the proposal responds to these parameter and criteria and other relevant
elements of this Plan.
North end of Gardens
• Building and site design that is sensitive to surrounding Park uses and
facilities, maintains appropriate buffers, etc.,
• A building that is “low-scale” in appearance, does not visually dominate
the surrounding area and does not visually “loom” over the Lower
Bench.
• Maintain or enhance the quality of pedestrian circulation corridors,
• Ability to construct the project in a manner that does not adversely
impact other facilities or uses in the Park,
• Demonstrate how vehicular access to the building (employees, service
vehicles, employees, etc.) can be controlled to minimize vehicles
accessing the building,
• Demonstrate how emergency vehicles will access the building and
identify any site improvements necessary to accommodate such
access,
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the building and how that
will be addressed,
West end of Parking Lot
• Building and site design that does not impact access to and use of
East Betty Ford Way and is sensitive to surrounding Park uses and
facilities, maintains appropriate buffers, etc,
• A building that is “low-scale” in appearance, does not visually dominate
the surrounding area and does not visually “loom” over the creek
corridor below.
• Maintain or enhance the quality of pedestrian circulation corridors and
does not impact existing parking facilities,
• Demonstrate how emergency vehicles will access the building and
identify any site improvements necessary to accommodate such
access,
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the building and how
parking will be managed,

• Building and site design that is sensitive to surrounding Park uses and
facilities, maintains appropriate buffers, etc,
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the building and how
parking will be managed,
• Demonstrate how pedestrian movement between the building and the
Gardens will be managed.
Improvement #4 – Ford Amphitheater/Sound Mitigation
The relationship between the Amphitheater and the athletic fields at times creates
conflicts, specifically with noise. I-70 traffic also creates problems for the Amphitheater.
Noise mitigation studies have been completed and to date no definitive decisions have
been made regarding possible noise mitigation measures. Space between the
Amphitheater and the fields has been defined in order to accommodate potential
measures that may be pursued in the future (walls, berms, landscaping, etc.). The
design of any mitigation will need to be responsive to existing pedestrian corridors in
this area and also be a visually sensitive solution for the Park.
Improvement #5 – Ford Amphitheater/Public Plaza
The Vail Valley Foundation has proposed plans for transforming the existing
Amphitheater entry into a re-designed and re-purposed “public plaza”. The Public Plaza
is intended to provide a more gracious and more functional entry to the amphitheater.
The design intent and objective of this improvement 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 and also be open for public use when not
being used for scheduled events. The ability to utilize this space for gatherings and
other events could provide an alternative location for events previously held on the open
turf area. A small expansion of the Amphitheater’s ticket office is also an element of this
improvement.
Parameters and criteria to be considered:
• Plaza design should be done to facilitate/not encumber truck turning movements
necessary to provide loading/delivery to the Amphitheater,
• The large specimen trees should be maintained,
• The space should be available for the public to rent for gatherings and events
and the space should be open and accessible to the public when not being used
for private functions
5/21/2013
D R A F T
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 42
• Any structures/roof elements associated with the public plaza should harmonize
with the Amphitheater, not dominate the surrounding area and conform to the
Ford Park Design Criteria
• Any fencing that may be required for liquor license or other purposes should be
subtle and visually unobtrusive
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the public plaza and how
parking, service access, etc. will be managed,
Improvement #6 – Children’s Playground Restrooms
The playground restrooms provide facilities for the entire Lower Bench. These facilities
are under-sized and in need of upgrade and expansion to meet current demand. When
designed, the new bathroom building should be one level and be sized no larger than
necessary to meet the needs of park users and no other uses should be incorporated
into this building. The location of the bathroom may be changed, but should remain
within the general “footprint” of the playground area. The building should not encroach
on the adjacent open turf area.
Improvement #7 – Betty Ford Way
The central portion of Betty Ford Way between the Covered Bridge and the
Amphitheater is envisioned to be a “feature pedestrian corridor”. This pedestrian way
will be treated with a higher level of design, surface materials, lighting, seating, etc.
Enhancements to Betty Ford Way will improve a park visitor’s experience to and
through the lower bench of the park.
It is anticipated that the existing path will be widened from approximately 10 feet to
between 11 and 13 feet to accommodate the multiple user types that visit the park in
peak use times and reduce conflicts when Amphitheater/golf cart shuttles share the trail
with pedestrians. The path surface will be replaced with finer textured, higher quality
pavements such as colored concrete, or stone or concrete pavers. Seating areas with
benches at select locations along the path, and lighting will also be incorporated into
this design. Landscaping adjacent to Betty Ford Way should be enhanced with
additional shrubs and wildflowers to provide more interest and color along the route,
and new wayfinding signage installed.
Improvement #8 – Betty Ford Way Traffic Control
While it is acknowledged that the Alpine Gardens, the Amphitheater and other uses in
the Lower Bench require vehicular access, an underlying goal for the Park is to
5/21/2013
D R A F T
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 43
minimize vehicular traffic this area. Betty Ford Way provides car and truck access to
this area. As a means for better regulating traffic into the Lower Bench, the installation
of gates, bollards or other improvements will be necessary at either end of Betty Ford
Way. In addition to improvements designed to limit car and truck access to the lower
bench, a system for managing large truck use on East Betty Ford Way should also be
explored. This section of Betty Ford Way is essentially a one-lane road. The purpose
of this effort is to prevent two trucks from utilizing East Betty Ford Way at the same
time.

2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Update
April 30, 2013, revised May 16, 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 combination of
natural open space along the Gore Creek corridor 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
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. 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:
19743 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 are 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 community input, debate,
and sometimes controversy, but in all cases was done with great passion for the Park
as the Vail community has worked toward worked to find a balance between finding the
appropriate mixture of development and use of the Park and along with the preservation
of this landsthe Park’s special natural features and the unique role it plays in the
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 3
community. The outcome of each of these each planning efforts were meant to
implement the original vision for the park as outlined in the statement above from the
1974 Vail Plan.
The 2013 Gerald R. 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 arewere 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.
With the adoption of this 2013 Plan previous plans for Ford Park will be archived and no
longer used as guides for future decision-making or planning for the Park. The 2013
Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan will serve as the Town’s sole master plan for the 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.
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 4
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
While the 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 sSub-areas of the Ppark have been defined and are used as a forum for
discussion of specifically how specific areas of the Park will be managed and to
provide clarityestablish expectations 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 The 2013 Plan expands and refines these design criteria.
8. Park Management
Elements of pPark management from the 1997 Plan areis provided in this
section, along with discussion of how the Town will review proposals for new
uses or buildings within the Park..

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 the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan
update process. These prior planning efforts include:
The 19743 Vail Plan
A portion of this town-wide 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 withexpectations regarding the purchase of the Anholtz
property and provides a broad statement of goals for the Park.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, and objectives and policy statements 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, objective and policy statements from the 1997 Plan have been expanded to
express reflect 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 decision-making s 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. The more a proposal for future

Goal #1:
To eEnsure that the natural features of the Park are the natural environmental
along the Gore Creek corridor are preserved and that appropriate controls and
review procedures are in place to ensure that any new use and/or building does
not adversely affect existing uses or 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.
Objective 1.1: Limit uses and future development to that which is consistent with these
goals, objectives and policies and consistent with the Ford Park Sub-Areas and
Illustrative Plans.
Policy Statement 1: Identifiy uses permitted by the General Use District (GU)
that are not appropriate for Ford Park and restrict such uses from occurring at the
Park. Restrict land uses beyond those permitted in the General Use (GU) zone
district as necessary to ensure land uses are appropriate for the Park.
Policy Statement 2: Proposals for Nnew or changes to existingd facilities or
uses will not be permitted tot that curtail
existing public usess within of facilities in the Park will not be permitted unless
there is either a compelling public interest or adequate alternative facilities can
be provided.are available to its users. All functions in the park shall be
maintained and function at a high quality level.
Policy Statement 3: The existing variety of uses and facilities in the Park will be
preserved.be maintained. The Town will not enter into a new lease agreement
with any party that does not currently hold such an agreement, hereby
maintaining current leaseholder status to: Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Alpine
Garden Foundation, and Vail Recreation District, or their successors.
Action Step 1.1.1: Draft a new ordinance to exclude those uses listed in
Ordinance No.6, Series of 1973, now considered to be inappropriate, and
to redefine the allowable uses within Ford Park. The following uses that
are allowed and prohibited for Ford Park shall take precedence over

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 a
number of buildings) on the Upper Bench with passive open space areas and an
amphitheater on the Lower Bench. Initial development of the Park involved athletic
fields, tennis courts and parking facilities on the Upper Bench. DecisionsBench.
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 the development of an amphitheater were created initiated on the Lower Bench.
These plans and the initial early development of the Park reinforced this Upper
Bench/Lower Bench distinction. Over time the Upper Bench came to be regarded as
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 27
“recreation-oriented” while the Lower Bench was regarded as being more oriented to
passive culturaland cultural uses.
The characterization of athletic use characterization of on the Upper Bench and the
passive and cultural cultural use characterization of on the Upper and Lower Benches
remain valid today, and the terms Upper Bench and Lower Bench provide a good, albeit
generalized reference description of 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 the Park that need to be considered in this
master planning process. It is for this reason the 2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan
utilizes adopted 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 for 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 acceptableused 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 if it is to occur how it should occur..
The seven sSub-aareas described below were defined based primarily on existing uses
within the Park. In some cases sSub-aareas define one single use, i.e. the
Amphitheater and or Alpine Gardens Sub-areas. In other cases sSub-aAreas include a
number of related uses, i.e. the Gore Creek Preservation and Lower Common Sub-
Aareas. In most many cases the pedestrian corridors that link the sub-areas and
facilitate the movement of people throughout the Park are used as boundaries between
sSub-areas and not included in the sSub-areas themselves.
The sub-areas are “planning area designations” and were created to better
understanding the Park, its current and future uses, and to better define expectations for
how the Park may change in the future. It is important to note that while the sub-areas
were drawn with considerable thought and attention to a number of important
considerations, they should not be considered hard “parcel” or “plat” lines. It is
reasonable to anticipate that when considering future improvements for the Park that
some latitude with the location of a sub-area boundary may be appropriate. That said,
any interpretation as to the intention of a sub-area boundary must be made in the
context of the overall goals for the Park and the vision for that particular sub-area.
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 into parts. With

Parking/Transit Sub-Ar ea
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 South Frontage Road on the
northern periphery of other park facilities and uses, this sSub-aArea 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, 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 i2012 Improvements to the athletic fields in 2013 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 South Frontage Road. The Frontage Road
spaces, if pursued, would necessitate construction of a sidewalk and would also require
CDOT review and approval.
George – isn’t this idea dead, can’t see the town going through the headache and cost
of a side walk for six spaces.
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 designed such that the lotit can continue to be
used for concerts and other special events. It is anticipated that this use will continue.

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. Maybe
this idea is dead??
• 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 recreatiorecreationn, team sports,
tournaments and events at Ford Park. The location of these uses – proximate to the
Frontage Road and parking, and removed from the lower commons area 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 landscape 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).
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 west end of the Park
along the Frontage Road and the two pedestrian portals from the parking lot.
• Enhanced landscape buffer around the perimeter of the sub area.
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 sSub-aArea 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 – they provide sites for active
recreation, provide sites for passive use and the quiet enjoyment of the Park, provide
buffers between uses, transitions to the natural Gore Creek corridor and contributes to
maintaining the “open feeling” of the lower bench.

This sSub-aArea should be managed and used such that to the area continues to
address these the goals and objectives listed above. There are no major changes
contemplated to the three distinct, yet related uses that occur in this area. These three
uses are:
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 relatively unchanged. The playground restrooms at the playground
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 area.
Open Turf Area
Aside from natural open space areas along Gore Creek, 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” and other passive recreation use. 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.
The turf area should not be reduced in size and no buildings or structures, temporary or
otherwise that would diminish the use of this area should be permitted in this area. In
the past the southern end of the open turf area has been used for temporary events
(weddings, parties, etc.) that involved the placement of tents and other features within
the turf area. These temporary uses encroach on the open turf area and draw
significant amounts of tvehicular raffic 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.

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. The southern
boundary of the Creek Corridor is located along the natural “grade break” where terrain
drops down to 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. Art
programs may include activities such as , but are not limited to interactive events,
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 35
installations, educational and participatory activities. The passive use and under-
developed character of this area also provides an appropriate excellent 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 well 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 since that time 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.
George – did the ticketing office expansion get done or is that hung up in the
Public Plaza debate?
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 venueamphitheater. The design intent and objective of this
improvement 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.

2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 36
The cCompatibility of the Amphitheater use and the use of with the neighboring the
athletic fields has been an ongoing issue. It is important to continually monitor these
two uses to ensure compatibility between these (and all park) users isusers are
maintained. It is important to protect and enhance areas of existing vegetation in and
around the Amphitheater and to continually where appropriate improve the physical
buffers between these uses. The implementation of noise mitigation at the north end of
the amphitheater is under consideration as a means of minimizing noise impacts from
the athletic fields and Interstate 70.
The Amphitheater is a significant generator of people and also generates a significant
amount of vehicular traffic into the Lower Bench. This is inVehicular traffic into the
Lower Bench conflicts 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 at the Amphitheater that would generate appreciably more vehicular traffic should
be permitted. at the Amphitheater.
Future Improvements
5/21/2013
Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 37
I2012 improvements made to the Amphitheater in 2012 should address the needs of
this sSub-aArea for the foreseeable future. The only improvements contemplated for
this sSub-aArea are:
• Development of a “Public Plaza” at the entry to the Amphitheater.
• Noise mitigation measures at the north side of the Amphitheater.
There are a number of important parameters to be considered in the design and
development of the Public Plazahis improvement. These parameters are described in
greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this Plan.
Alpine Gardens Sub-Area
The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens (BFAG) 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 Management 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 BFAG is interested in defining identifying a suitable a
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 potentially 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 thise 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.

potential development of this improvement the Alpine Gardens educational center.
These parameters are described in greater detail in the Illustrative Plan section of this
Plan.
The potential expansion of the gardens west of the old school house would be on land
currently within the Lower Commons Sub-Area. Any expansion in this area would need
to be coordinated with AIPP and other uses within this sub-area.

Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area
The Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area includes the entire length of the Gore Creek
Corridor, including and the +/-7 acre Nature Center and the portion of Gore Creek
between Silfer Square and the western end of the Park (that has been incorporated into
the boundary of Ford Park). The boundary of the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area is
generally defined by the park boundary on the south and by a variety of site
considerations on the north (100 year flood plain, 50 foot Gore Ccreek setback and
topography). Within the Sub-Area are Gore Creek, and associated wetland and riparian
habitat are the primary feature of this sub-area. Existing iImprovements within the this
sSub-aArea are limited to two bridges, trails, 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 is the Park’s most significant natural feature and the
designation of this corridor as a its “preservation zone” is in direct response to a number
of goals and objectives from previous park 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 creek 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 that 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. Any adverse affects of
adjacent uses should be mitigated to the extent possible.
Within the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area Iit is intended that existing uses and
improvements within the Gore Creek Preservation Sub-Area can be maintained,
however, in keeping with the goals of preserving this area no new buildings or bridges
should be permitted and any other new uses or, improvements or buildings within this
Sub-Area is to occur should be limited to those that will complimentcomplement the
natural character of this area. Specific considerations regarding the uses within of this
sub-area include:
• It is acknowledged that the Nature Center will host a higher level of use and
activity than other portions of this sub-area, however such uses should be

confined to the “upland” portions of the Nature Center and not impact the creek
corridor.
• 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 this sensitivee
environment (i.e. avoidance of wetland habitat, use of “best management
practices during construction, etc.).
• Utilities, drainage improvements, additional creek crossings should not be
initiated within this sub-areae Preservation Zone unless no practical alternative is
available.
• The portion of this sub-area between the main portion of Ford Park and Silfer
Square provides important pedestrian access to and from Vail Village and the
Vail Village Parking Structure. This corridor is heavily used by users of the Park.
To enhance the quality of this pedestrian corridor and to ensure its effectiveness
as an alternative means of accessing the Park, seating areas and art installations
may be appropriate (i.e. outside of wetland areas and the 100-year flood
planeplain) along this corridor.
Fisherman access to Gore Creek, while currently not an issue (i.e. excessive use from
foot traffic that resulting in degregationsegregation to riparian areas and vegetation
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
evaluate the feasibility of establishing a conservation easement for this area. The
protection afforded by a conservation easement would permanently define limitations on
the use of this area and in doing so establish permanence to its the goal of
preservingation this creek corridor.
Future Improvements
There are no Ffuture improvements contemplated for this Sub-Area include: .
• Enhancement and restoration of vegetation along the creek corridor.
• Enhance the walkway between Vail Village and the Park to include
improvements such as seating, art installations, etc.
InitateInitiate the removale of or reduction in parking located at the Nature
Center.
• George – this comment about parking was mentioned the other night,is it valid?
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 uses should continue as they 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).
Approximately 65 parking spacespaces are located within the sub-area. These spaces
provide parking for the athletic field during summer months and during the winter the
parking is used for employee parking.
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.

Part 6 - FORD PARK ILLUSTRATIVE PLAN
The 2013 Ford Park Illustrative Plan provides a general description of future
improvements contemplated for Ford Park. These descriptions indicate the location of
the improvement within the Park, a summary of the proposed improvement and
parameters or criteria to be considered in the design and development of the
improvement. The parameters and criteria are of particular importance as they
establish expectations for the specific design and operation of the proposed
improvement. Conformance to these parameters and criteria is a requisite to any
proposed improvements being approved by the Town.
The Illustrative Plan is a vision for how the Park may be improved in the future. It is not
the intention of the Illustrative Plan to suggest that only those improvements depicted on
the Illustrative Plan may be proposed. Improvements not depicted on the Illustrative
Plan may be proposed and will be reviewed relative to their conformance with the
overall goals, objectives and policies for the Park and the Ford Park Sub-area(s). It
should also be understood that the improvements being depicted on the Illustrative Plan
does not ensure if or when they will be implemented. Decisions on if or when
improvements may be proposed will be made by the Town of Vail or by Park
leaseholders.
The 2013 Ford Park Illustrative Plan replaces site plans from the 1997 Ford Park
Management Plan and the Illustrative Plan from the 2012 Update. Many improvements
contemplated by these previous plans have been implemented. Such improvements
are graphically depicted on the 2013 Illustrative Plan as “exiting conditions”
Any future improvement propose for the Park is subject to approval by the Town Council
and further review by the Town’s review boards prior to being implemented. This review
may involve the Planning and Environmental Commission (Conditional Use Permit,
Development Plan review) and the Design Review Board prior to being implemented.
On the following page is the Ford Park Illustrative Plan. This Plan includes “numbered
symbols” which identify future improvements to the Park. Narrative descriptions of
these improvements follow, along with design and operational parameters and criteria to
be considered in the review of proposed improvements.

Improvement #1 – Gore Creek Corridor Enhancements
There are a number of areas within the Gore Creek corridor where erosion, use or other
factors have disturbed or otherwise adversely impacted existing vegetation. A
restoration program should be implemented to improve vegetation where necessary.
The Illustrative Plan indicates a number of areas along the Creek where enhancements
could occur. These indictators are diagramatic in nature. A detailed assessment of the
creek corridor is necessary in order to determine precisely where and to what extent
restoration is needed. Following completion of this assessment a detailed landscape
plan for the restoration of the corridor should be prepared.
A parallel effort to evaluate the condition of the creek bank should also be implemented
to identify the potential need for stream bank stabilization.
Improvement #2 – Entry Monumentation at Park’s pedestrian entries
Pedestrians enter Ford Park from one of seven existing portals. Refer to the Illustrative
Plan for these seven locations. Currently there is inadequate signage or other features
identifying these locations as entry points to the Park. The goal of this improvement is
to formally identify these portals and announce them as “arrival points” to Ford Park.
Landscape features, signage, bollards, monuments, archways and other design
features, or some combination thereof, could be used to identify these locations as
arrival points to the Park. A design process is necessary to evaluate alternative designs
for these improvements. While specific solutions for these “entry improvements” could
vary between locations, all should share a common design vocabulary. It will also be
important to locate these improvements in a way that compliments the adjacent
pedestrian corridor and does not compromise pedestrian circulation.
Improvement #3 – Betty Ford Alpine Garden Educational Center
The Alpine Gardens has pursued the development of an alpine education center within
the Park for a number of years. The building is envisioned to include multi-use space
for educational programs and other activities, a green house and limited administrative
space. At a conceptual level three potential locations have been identified for this
building. 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 relate to the Town’s
overall goals and objectives for the Park.
Formatted: Left

Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 46
Below are design and operational parameters and criteria to be considered relative to
each of these three locations. It is anticipated that when the BFAG desires to initiate
discussion of this building conceptual designs will be provided to the Town for one or
more of these potential sites. Any decision regarding a proposed building will be made
based on how the proposal responds to these parameter and criteria and other relevant
elements of this Plan.
North end of Gardens
• Building and site design that is sensitive to surrounding Park uses and
facilities, maintains appropriate buffers, etc,
• A building that is “low-scale” in appearance, does not visually dominate
the surrounding area and does not visually “loom” over the Lower
Bench.
• Maintain or enhance the quality of pedestrian circulation corridors,
• Ability to construct the project in a manner that does not adversely
impact other facilities or uses in the Park,
• Demonstrate how vehicular access to the building (employees, service
vehicles, employees, etc.) can be controlled to minimize vehicles
accessing the building,
• Demonstrate how emergency vehicles will access the building and
identify any site improvements necessary to accommodate such
access,
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the building and how that
will be addressed,

Improvement #4 – Ford Amphitheater/Sound Mitigation
The relationship between the Amphitheater and the athletic fields at times creates
conflicts, specifically with noise. I-70 traffic also creates problems for the Amphitheater.
Noise mitigation studies have been completed and to date no definitive decisions have
been made regarding possible noise mitigation measures. Space between the
Amphitheater and the fields has been defined in order to accommodate potential
measures that may be pursued in the future (walls, berms, landscaping, etc.). The
design of any mitigation will need to be responsive to existing pedestrian corridors in
this area and also be a visually sensitive solution for the Park.
Improvement #5 – Ford Amphitheater/Public Plaza
The Vail Valley Foundation has proposed plans for transforming the existing
Amphitheater entry into a re-designed and re-purposed “public plaza”. The Public Plaza
is intended to provide a more gracious and more functional entry to the amphitheater.
The design intent and objective of this improvement 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 and also be open for public use when not
being used for scheduled events. The ability to utilize this space for gatherings and
other events could provide an alternative location for events previously held on the open
turf area. A small expansion of the Amphitheater’s ticket office is also an element of this
improvement.
Parameters and criteria to be considered:
• Plaza design should be done to facilitate/not encumber truck turning movements
necessary to provide loading/delivery to the Amphitheater,
• The large specimen trees should be maintained,

Draft #2/May 21 WS
2013 Gerald R. Ford Park Master Plan Page 48
• The space should be available for the public to rent for gatherings and events
and the space should be open and accessible to the public when not being used
for private functions
• Any structures/roof elements associated with the public plaza should harmonize
with the Amphitheater, not dominate the surrounding area and conform to the
Ford Park Design Criteria
• Any fencing that may be required for liquor license or other purposes should be
subtle and visually unobtrusive
• Identify the anticipated parking demand from the public plaza and how
parking, service access, etc. will be managed,
Improvement #6 – Children’s Playground Restrooms
The playground restrooms provide facilities for the entire Lower Bench. These facilities
are under-sized and in need of upgrade and expansion to meet current demand. When
designed, the new bathroom building should be one level and be sized no larger than
necessary to meet the needs of park users and no other uses should be incorporated
into this building. The location of the bathroom may be changed, but should remain
within the general “footprint” of the playground area. The building should not encroach
on the adjacent open turf area.
Improvement #7 – Betty Ford Way
The central portion of Betty Ford Way between the Covered Bridge and the
Amphitheater is envisioned to be a “feature pedestrian corridor”. This pedestrian way
will be treated with a higher level of design, surface materials, lighting, seating, etc.
Enhancements to Betty Ford Way will improve a park visitor’s experience to and
through the lower bench of the park.
It is anticipated that the existing path will be widened from approximately 10 feet to
between 11 and 13 feet to accommodate the multiple user types that visit the park in
peak use times and reduce conflicts when Amphitheater/golf cart shuttles share the trail
with pedestrians. The path surface will be replaced with finer textured, higher quality
pavements such as colored concrete, or stone or concrete pavers. Seating areas with
benches at select locations along the path, and lighting will also be incorporated into
this design. Landscaping adjacent to Betty Ford Way should be enhanced with
additional shrubs and wildflowers to provide more interest and color along the route,
and new wayfinding signage installed.

Improvement #8 – Betty Ford Way Traffic Control
While it is acknowledged that the Alpine Gardens, the Amphitheater and other uses in
the Lower Bench require vehicular access, an underlying goal for the Park is to
minimize vehicular traffic this area. Betty Ford Way provides car and truck access to
this area. As a means for better regulating traffic into the Lower Bench, the installation
of gates, bollards or other improvements will be necessary at either end of Betty Ford
Way. In addition to improvements designed to limit car and truck access to the lower
bench, a system for managing large truch use on East Betty Ford Way should also be
explored. This section of Betty Ford Way is essentially a one-lane road. The purpose
of this effort is to prevent two trucks from utilizing East Betty Ford Way at the same
time.

This section is under development and will be completed in the near future. This
section will reflect a refinement to the design criteria found in the 1985 Plan.
• Introduction to chapter, how design criteria are to be used by PEC and DRB, how
they relate to the “standard” PEC and DRB processes.
• Design criteria - criteria from the ’85 Plan will provide a starting point, it is anticipated

Exhibit common sense and improve clubhouse within the current footprint! This
is what we voted for.
Preserving the golf course just the way it has been is important.
Keep golf course as is!!!
Do not tear up 18. I think that it is terrible to even think about something like
that I!!
I have only spoke to 1 person that supports changing hole 18, also on the Rec
Board, everyone else I have spoken with is against the change. Keep 18 a par
5
This action is goes against present zoning and ruins a great golf hole
there should be a better option than losing the 18th hole as a par 5! Please
reconsider all the options.
Taking away any green grass is not what Pete Seibert and vails founding
fathers had in mind when they put the gc in. Why can't there be a new building
and leave the course as is?
I own a public golf course restaurant. My experience, and that of many of my
colleagues, can tell you wedding and special event bookings are never what
they are projected to be during the planning of clubhouse projects like this.
Quite the opposite in fact. The future of this project will bring only the promise
of empty space at too high a cost, frequent restaurant concessionaire turn over
and disgruntled local and visiting golfers. Save the course from irreparable
damage and future revenue disappointments.
I do not agree with the destruction of the Vail golf course. We have plenty of
space for weddings in the valley.
The golf course is magnificent and I would like to keep the golf course usage
as is -primarily for Golf.
I am saddened the TOV is considering sacrificing the golf course to create a
mUltipurpose center to generate more revenue (and at the same time likely
taking revenue from local business).
It is the right thing to do.
There are plenty of venues for weddings in the valley already. There is no
reason to take business from them and destroy one of the better holes.
The golf course needs to stay as it is. There are other venues for weddings.
We voted for golf clubhouse improvements not for changes to the golf course
Should keep the Club for Golf and not ruin the 18th hole.
This will upset the equilibrium of a quiet neighborhood, and spoil the 18th hold.
That is one idea that can b shelved
We need to keep the 18th hole the way it is. There are many other venues for
weddings
Please stop the overdevelopment of Vail.

Why would Vail ruin a wonderful golf course for a commercial enterprise?
There are plenty of places to host a wedding event ... only one EXCEPTIONAL
golf course! 12 to 14 couples go up to Vail every year for a golf weekend abd
spend a lot of money. If you take away a great finishing hole, we probably
won't be back.
Improve the facillies as they are much needed. Do not expand we need to fit
into the shoes we are waring, not get bigger ones. The challenge is to
PRESERVE &PROGESS not expand.
As a homeowner in the valley, I play every year. Don't mess with success.
Bad idea. The pursuit of happiness/profit is great unlilto infringe on others
pursuit of happiness, namely peace and quit in an established neighborhood.
We voted to spend the money on a community center at the Golf Course, but
we did NOT vote for this specific project. This is a complete violation of
property rights. Council was elected to lead, but they must also represenl. The
current plan is not acceptable_
beautiful course. wonderful for visitors to gold in the mountains. guests and
family enjoyed golfing there and seems a a beautiful tourist attraction
Leave golf course as is.
The course and clubhouse are fine as is.
Why ruin the only Golf Course in Vail. Improve the facilities but don' ruin the
golf course or the neighborhood surrounding il. II wasn' meant to be a
commercial center, it was meant to be a neighborhood.
Donovan park is the place for events, not the 18 hole on our golf course!
To keep the integrity and allure of the best Par 5 finishing hole in the Valley and
to protect the covenant for which it was intended in the first place; To remain a
golf course first and foremost.
Thegolfer don' want it, the neighbors don't want it. Whom are we building it for.
The Town of Vail are changing the golf course clubhouse from a club house
into an events venue against the covenants that were put in place to protect
neighboring property owners.
To protect the integrity of Vail Golf Club and the surrounding area. This type of
facility will have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Existing hotels an
event centers are already set up to handle weddings and large events along
with the parking requirements. I don't know who came up with this dumb idea,
but I think it is not in the best interest of the Vail Golf Club.
That would be like having one frie short of a happy meal. How can you have
only 17 holes on a golf course and who'd want to? There are enough places
to hold events and weddings without destroying the Vail Legendary Golf
Course and Club... Ridiculous Idea.
When I bought my condo in Vail, part of the reason I chose the golfcourse town
homes was because it was quiet and somewhat off the beaten track. I also
enjoy golf and think that anything affecting the present course layout should not
be permitted.
The course ane hole are special. There is no need to riun it for something thai
will be used much less than the course currenlly is. Many other places for
weddings but few for public golf in the town.

Build a new more modern clubhouse with a nice restaurant. Our Vail Golf
Course facility desparately needs updating!
I like playing the Vail Golf Course. The Clubhouse can be improved WITHOUT
changing the 18th hole. PS -I vote and contribute to local elections.
Lived in Vail for many years and visit often, always playing the Vail golf course.
Removing #18 diminishes the integrity of the course, as it would any golf
course.
Save #18 at Vail.
Visiting Vail on a regular basis lets me compare the reconstruction with the rest
of the world. My view is that the current configuration is ideal and to disfigure
the course would be a shame. Please cherish the great situation you have now.
I've played this course for 20+ years and shortening the 18th hole will diminish
the golfing experience.
I used to work for TV8, and I know what people want in Vail.
A too short golf course should not be shortened. Neighbors should not be
inconvenienced more than they originally thought possible. In any event,
parking on the street along the practice areas and 1 st hole for golf over flow
should be retained since we have done that for the 20+ years I have lived here.
I have played this course many times and it would be a great injustice to
change any portion of the course for a commercial endavor which could be
place most anywhere else.
The clubhouse is for golf related purposes, not parties and weddings.
As a 40 year Vail resident, Club Champion, and a caddy at the 20 yr. Gerald
Ford golf tourney; I believe in tradition!! Upgrade the clubhouse.We have seen
plenty of new facilities completed in Vail over the last few years for weddings
and events. Keep 18!!
TOV is completely ignoring covenants they are already subject to. This is totally
SHAME FULL !!!
18th is our SIGNATURE hole!
Don't tamper with it.
I don't understand why they would want to commercialize one of the most
beautiful neighborhoods in Vail. A golf course is NOT A WEDDING/PARTY
venue. We have plenty of businesses in town to accomodate the need for that.
We have enough wedding venues in the area. This is not a good place for an
event center. Parking would have to be expanded and I fear we will be headed
down a slippery slope to paving over our lovely valley.
This is not what I voted for. I would have never voted to destroy the Par 5 18th
hole.
The Town needs to abide by the deed restrictions and restrictive covinants they
agreed to and other property owners relied on when they aquired their
adjacent properties.
I love the course and I'd hate to see it ruined.
Protective covenants supercede any other issue. Stop unnecessary
development that diminishes the Vail experience.

I. SUMMARY

r-;ased upon Staffs review of the criteria outlined in Section IX of this memorandum an~
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a
recommendation of approval to the Vail Town Council for the prescribed regulation
amendment application, subject to the findings noted in Section X of
• Conditional use permit amendments to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail
Golf Course clubhouse.
ZOI\JE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AMENDMEI\JT
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.
• A grill/bar sized for +/-40 people plus outdoor/deck space,
• A kitchen sized to serve the grill and a separate "w . g kitchen" space for the
Banquet Room,
• Arrival to Golf/ pro shop and Nordic space . the parking lot level,
• Project design that provides for both vv" r and summer use to a finished quality
expected for Vail guests,
.• The separation of uses and enh ement of circulation throughout site and within
the building,
• Location of golf course sh area on the east side of the building in order to
encourage golfers to e through the grill/pro shop,
• Clarification of cir ation and entry on the front side of the building,
• Maintain appro . ate existing building square footages while increasing the
efficiency an lllctionality of the building,
• Two-story I (4 level) building, and
• Reuse 0 s much of the existing building structure, which is critical to maintain
the ori nal project budget.
APPLI CATID NS SUBi\lITTED
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),
f 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 "vill 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 CLVB HOUSE Al'ffi TillS PROPOSAL
Following an election in the fall of 20 11 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 Tovm 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.
Vail Golf Course Club House Remodel
CUP Amendment/Rezoning/Text Amendment Page 3
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 aflal or mansard roof the height ofbuildings shall not
exceed thirtyfeet (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 of30'/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.

Greetings
I see from the published agenda that you have a very busy session this evening and I would like to give some
brief input. It has been over a year since I last wrote you and I continue to feel that you do a great job dealing
with hot topics and various constituencies. I would pipe in on the "Welcome Center/Host Program" topic. I
have periodically stopped in both centers to pick up materials for my home and guests and continue to be
impressed with the facilities, personnel and overall feeling of "welcomeness." I like the personal attention and
the familiar faces that seem to be there year after year. I may be old-fashioned but there is something about
familiarity. I have seen the Community Hosts on the streets but cannot comment on their performance as I've
never needed to ask for assistance. I do believe that the gentleman that has helped me year after year (the
one with the dog) is one of the best ambassadors your town has and I would hate to see this asset
disappear. Given my experiences, I strongly urge you to continue with the current operator.
Appreciate all your time
Richard

Subject: Recommendation for Callosum
Dear Town Council,
On behalf of the Vail Valley Business Women board of directors, I am writing to support Clare Hefferren and the
Callosum team for the TOV Welcome Center / Community Host Program contract. After making it through the final
round of applications, I strongly believe in the process and thank the sub-committee for their time and commitment to
creating the recommendation for Callosum to take on this new community role.
As President of VVBW, our board has seen Clare first-hand take on multiple leadership rolls. On her own accord, she
took on changing the culture of the organization through bringing a new level of professionalism, community-focus and
board behavioral changes. After learning the organization had been operating at a loss, she spearheaded a membership
tier revamp to better serve the membership target markets as well as maintain a positive cash flow.
I look forward to seeing the Callosum talents shared with the stakeholders of Vail and am confident in Clare to lead the
way through her passion and professionalism.

Dear Town Council:
I am thrilled to hear that Callosum was chosen as the single final recommended contractor for the Town of Vail
Welcome Center and Community Host Program. Clare Hefferren has been wonderful to work with. I find her to
have a passion for the community, bring fresh ideas to organizations, be community minded and work in a
collaborative manner. I believe her passion will be an asset to the Welcome Center, where she will be able to
integrate the town's marketing across the board, and communicate her passion for the town to visitors, tourists
and homeowners alike.
Thank you,
Heather Hower

Dear Vail Town Council,
I understand that Callosum was recently chosen as the single final recommended contractor for
the Town of Vail Welcome Center and Community Host Program.
I also understand that the final step is for Town Council to approve the sub-committee’s
recommendation or veto it at this evening’s town council meeting. I am not sure if I will be available to
attend this meeting, so I wanted to send a brief email in support of Callosum / Clare Hefferen, and in
support of the recommendation to proceed with Callosum as the chosen contractor. I have had the
opportunity to work closely with Clare during my time on the board of Vail Valley Business Women, of
which I am Past President. Clare has done a tremendous amount of work for our organization. She
has always been very professional and quick to respond, consistently exceeding our
expectations. She is extremely passionate and committed to her work, will work long hours and do
what needs to be done to see her projects through. She has a broad knowledge of marketing, has
great community contacts, takes deadlines seriously, and is a great “out of the box” thinker. Clare
has made our organization stronger, and more efficient, and I have learned a lot from her. I highly
recommend her for this project, as I believe that her passion and excitement will serve the town
well.
Should you need to reach me with any questions, please feel free to contact me.

To the Vail Town Council:
I am sending this email in support of the RFP Review Committee's selection of Callosum Creative, to
operate the Town of Vail Welcome Centers and Community Host Program. I know Clare Hefferren
both personally and professionally.
I have worked with Clare for the last 10 months as a Board Member of the Vail Valley Business
Women's organization. She has taken the lead in our Marketing and PR efforts, helping us to revamp
the membership structure, and assisting the President in giving the Board direction and focus. Her
strong leadership is responsible for the success we have experienced with our members and
organization.
It is my understanding that Clare and her partners will be focused on integration of marketing,
seamless customer experience, fresh ideas, collaboration, hub of community communications,
transparency, accountability, palpable passion, excitement and energy, and most importantly, the
future of Vail! I truly believe that they will accomplish all that they set as goals and provide the Town
of Vail with the brand they are looking for.
Personally, I can tell you that Clare is a true, caring, and giving person. I have so enjoyed meeting,
working with, and getting to know her better as a personal friend. I have a tremendous amount of
respect for her and am proud to call her a friend.
Sincerely,
