Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Andy Daly. Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Margaret Rogers Greg Moffet Jenn Bruno Dave Chapin Dale Bugby Member absent: Ludwig Kurz Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Tammy Nagel, Deputy Clerk _________________________________________________________________ The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation.

There was none. 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 1, 2014 Page 2 The fourth item on the agenda was I-70 Vail Underpass Traffic update. Town Engineer Tom Kassmel stated that as a part of the project design process, a traffic operations analysis had been completed for the I-70 Vail Underpass and the two new intersections it would create. The traffic analysis was based on the adopted 2009 Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) requirements and guidelines, and recognized traffic engineering best practices. Kassmel explained the data and assumptions for the traffic analysis were based on the VTMP and include the 20 year design traffic service life, the 15th busiest day, the VTMP traffic projections and the level of service (LOS). Rogers asked what the 15th busiest traffic day was in Vail. Kassmel explained that it’s not a specific date. The 15th busiest day was based on the significant holidays and Special Events, the snow levels, the number of days Vail hotels are occupied and the number of days in a year that Vail had overflow parking on the Frontage Roads. Mark Meisinger, Engineer with Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), reviewed several intersection configurations with council: the Traditional T would allow the Frontage Roads to flow freely and the underpass traffic would be required to stop; an All-way Stop T where all directions stop; a Modified T which would allow the underpass to free flow and the Frontage Roads to stop, similar to Blue Cow Chute; an All-way Stop T with Bypass provided two Frontage Road movements being free flow and all other movements stop; a Signalized T would have all movement stops at signals; a Single Lane Roundabout; and a Single Lane Roundabout with an auxiliary lane. Meisinger demonstrated how a single lane roundabout with an auxiliary lane met the 20 year design traffic life and the FHWA/CDOT requirements and guidelines. Rogers asked what would prevent the town making changes to the Bypass T in 2030 if the town was incorrect on its choice. Kassmel stated the funding agreement with CDOT required the 20 year design traffic life. All council members questioned the traffic data that was used for the traffic analysis. Daly explained the traffic numbers would be the same, but the additional underpass would relieve congestion on both the main Vail and West Vail roundabouts. Rick Rejavec with FHU reviewed evaluation criteria with council. All types of T Intersections did not provide adequate LOS or queues at intersections. A Single Lane Roundabout accommodated ideal conditions at LOS C, had acceptable queues and reduced impact to private property, but it did not accommodate snowy conditions at LOS D. A Single Lane Roundabout with an Auxiliary Lane accommodated Ideal conditions at LOS C, had acceptable queues, and it accommodated snowy conditions at LOS D. Rogers asked if the town could ban trucks from using that roundabout. Kassmel said at minimum large trucks would have to be able to go through the roundabout. Bruno asked if the engineers considered a roundabout on one side and a tee on the other. Rejavec said this model had not been done. Bugby questioned if some of the traffic projections were using double counts. Kassmel said he would confirm the numbers. Daly asked for public comment. Bill Pierce, owner at Simba Run, questioned if the numbers used in the analysis were realistic for a 20 year outlook. Pierce explained a LOS C rating is based on a 10-20 second stop and a LOS D is a wait of 40 seconds per vehicle. Additionally Pierce did not agree with CDOT’s study that roundabouts were safer. Charlie Calcaterra, representing Simba Run Homeowners Association, said there was an opportunity for the town to do what is right by relieving 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 1, 2014 Page 3 traffic from the west and main roundabouts. Calcaterra felt there were two scenarios that would satisfy everyone. If the town would use CDOTS level of service for this project only, it would allow a T Intersection to be implemented or if the Council would agree to do the T Intersection and if the intersection failed in 15 years then add a light signal. With no further public comment, Daly asked if council had any additional comments. Bugby said a T Intersection would be appropriate for this project. Rogers felt the bypass T would allow for reasonable growth. Moffet reminded council that Vail did have design requirements and there are no traffic lights allowed. Moffet went onto say a T Intersection did not work unless the town would allow traffic lights. The town needed to be consistent with the same standards that are applied to general developers. Bruno also had problems with the numbers used for the analysis and would like the engineers to pursue the Bypass T. Daly requested staff to re-examine the traffic counts and confirm there was no double counting. Additionally, Daly requested staff provide scenarios using LOS D for a Bypass T, single roundabout on the North Frontage Road and double T on both North and South Frontage Roads. The fifth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2014, An Ordinance Making Budget Adjustments to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Conference Center Fund, Dispatch Services Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund, Debt Service Fund and Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund of the 2014 Budget for the Town of Vail. Daly questioned if the $13,200 to fund the transportation costs to move sports teams to other field locations during the Ford Park Field construction was the Vail Recreation District’s responsibility. Rogers explained it was a small cost to the town to ensure the events return to Vail next year. Moffet expressed concern regarding the $17,200 in police officers overtime relating to work done for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). There was no public comment. Moffet made a motion to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 10, with a second from Rogers. The motion passed unanimously 6-0. The sixth item on the agenda was review of the proposed Timber Ridge Development Agreement. Community Development Director George Ruther presented council Resolution No. 9, Series of 2014, A Resolution Approving a Timber Ridge Development Agreement, and Setting Forth Details in Regard Thereto. Daly questioned the performance bond language in the development agreement. Town Attorney Matt Mire explained if the developer was unable to complete the project, the lender would finish the development with a new developer. Moffet moved to approve Resolution No. 9 and direct the Town Manager to enter into the Developers Agreement with Lion's Ridge Apartment Homes, LLC, with a second from Chapin. There was no public comment. The motion passed unanimously 6-0. The seventh item on the agenda was Resolution No. 12, Series of 2014, A Resolution Authorizing the Town Manager to Enter into a Professional Service Agreement with Reconstruction Experts, Inc. for the Renovation of Units at the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. Ruther informed council concerning the need to complete interior renovations to at least nine dwelling units at the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. The 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 1, 2014 Page 4 renovation work is expected to start in early April and to be fully completed by April 30, 2104. Ruther said that since a large number of units will become vacant during the month of April that this is the correct time to complete renovation work. The estimated total cost of the work is approximately $188,000. Bugby asked the lifespan on the buildings that are being renovated. Ruther stated those buildings are not currently being considered for construction and will be around for a long period of time to allow the pay down from the new construction. Moffet made a motion to pass Resolution No. 12 and direct the Town Manager to enter into the service agreement, with a second from Rogers. There was no public comment. The motion passes unanimously 6-0. The eighth item on the agenda was the second reading of Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2014, An Ordinance for Prescribing Regulation Amendments, Pursuant to Section 12-3- 7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to Amend Section 12-2-2:Definitions of Words and Terms Pertaining to Commercial Ski Storage and the Delineation of Different Floors or Levels within a Structure, and to Amend Sections 12-7B, 12-7H, 12-7I and 12-8E Replacing the Term “Commercial Ski Storage” with “Commercial Ski Storage/Ski Club” and Setting Forth Details in Regard Thereto. Community Development Planner Jonathan Spence informed council there were no significant changes made since the first reading of Ordinance No. 8. Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 8 on second reading with a second by Rogers. There was no public comment. The motion passed unanimously 6-0.

Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Ludwig Kurz Margaret Rogers Greg Moffet Jenn Bruno Dave Chapin Dale Bugby Staff members: Pam Brandmeyer, Acting Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Patty McKenny, Town Clerk _________________________________________________________________ The first item on the agenda was the 2013 L. Anthony Sutin Civic Imagination Award Presentation. Chief Dwight Henninger, Vail Police Chief, and Megan McGee Bonta, Catholic Charities, were presented the “L. Anthony Sutin Civic Imagination Award”, in recognition of their partnership and work together building bridges with the immigrant community in Vail in an effort to create trusting relationships between law enforcement agencies, social service agencies and the residents they serve. Director Ronald Davis, US Dept. of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and US Attorney John Walsh, Colorado District Attorney’s Office, were present to recognize these individuals and all those involved in helping to implement a community that collaboratively works together on solving problems facing the immigrant residents. High accolades were given to both individuals with recognition to Catholic Charities’ initiative in implementing a very active Eagle County Immigration Advisory Committee formed to help to address such apparent needs of this community. In addition recognition of Chief Henninger’s outstanding commitment to his community and profession was noted in helping to successfully bridge the gap that has existed between the police and immigrant community. It was noted that the award was named in memory of Tony Sutin, who served as a founder and Deputy Director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and that these nominees have shown the ability to create sustainable collaborations that are innovative and creative and that they’ve shown civic leadership through problem solving and collaborative partnerships, and finally that that they’ve shown the ability to institutionalize sustainable, positive; observable public safety outcomes that promote public safety through a dedication to the community policing philosophy. Mayor Daly commended the nominees noting that the community of Vail is unique and complex in many ways and that their dedication and work has helped make it a better place to live for all persons including the immigrant community. The second item on the agenda was Citizen Participation, comments were heard as follows: Chuck Ogilby, Vail resident, former council member, expressed support for the upcoming ballot questions proposed by Eagle River Fire Protection District’s May election, questions that 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 15, 2014 Page 2 addressed: 1) General Obligation (GO, property tax) increase to help offset costs related to capital project infrastructure upgrades, and 2) Taxpayer Bill of Rights exemption. He expressed concerns with water quality of the Gore Creek noting that the new state and federal regulations would only help improve the “state of the rivers.” He also requested the town consider reviewing more stringent rules related to tree spraying and ensuring the most stringent regulations are proposed for cleaning up Gore Creek. Mayor Daly noted the town has already made a commitment to this effort and has begun implementing its “water quality improvement plan” which outlines many measures addressing this topic. The third item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. George Ruther presented the following 2 items: 1) Resolution No. 10, 2014 - Timber Ridge Rockfall Mitigation Contract Moffet moved to approve Resolution No. 10, with a second from Kurz. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. 2) Resolution No. 13, 2014 - Timber Ridge Holy Cross Energy Easement Moffet moved to approve Resolution No. 13, with a second from Kurz. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. Ruther noted that the rockfall mitigation work would begin May 1 and press releases and variable message signs would be used immediately to help notify the neighborhood and public of the work to be done. He also noted that no helicopters or blasting would be required. The fourth item on the agenda was Town Manager’s Report. Chief Henninger presented an update on the police activity that occurred during this past weekend’s event, and specifically the activity they responded to as a result of the Saturday night concert. He noted that when compared with other events and concerts in Vail, this event presented many challenges for both enforcement and medical personnel. While the event was successful in terms of the number of people that attended, there were many challenges with the event itself. The fifth item on the agenda was a request to proceed through the development review process with a proposal to install a fence on the Town owned parcel in the Intermountain neighborhood at the West Vail Community Garden as presented by Marion Carton, President. The slideshow presentation provided information about their mission, background, location, history of its improvements, community involvement, and now the need for a fence to keep the deer away in order to remain a successful garden. It was noted that other deterrent means have been tried with no success. Numerous reasons for a fence were outlined, including: 1) enhance safety measures, 2) enhance wildlife and garden protection, 3) serve as dog deterrent, 4) provide definition of the space and screens, and 5) add some visual appeal with fencing around the entire garden. If there was permission to proceed with the request, it was noted that the applicant would need to file a request for a variance from Section 14-10-9, Fences, Hedges, Walls, and Screening, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 12-17, Variances, to allow for deviations from the fence height limitations. There was some discussion about the height of the fence in terms of what other community gardens have installed, what has been successful in terms of the height (typically at least 7 feet), and what type of fence materials were being considered. Jeff Schneider, resident and user of the garden, spoke in support of the project and request to proceed with a request for the fencing in light of it serving to improve the ability of the community garden in being successful. There were no other public comments. Moffet moved to approve the applicant’s request to proceed through the development review process. Ludwig seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously 7-0. Carton expressed her sincere thanks to the council, to the community and to town staff for their support and efforts on the 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 15, 2014 Page 3 project. She also noted that the related costs are estimated at $9500, and that the group may seek funding assistance from the town in order to implement the purchase and installation of the fence. The sixth item on the agenda was Resolution No. 14, Series of 2014 - A Resolution Establishing the Annual Fee in Lieu Amount for Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning. Nina Timm, Community Development, presented this item highlighting that in 2007 the Vail Town Council established commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning requirements that outlined one of the five methods to provide the requisite employee housing is payment of a fee in lieu. She noted that in order to remain In accordance with Vail Town Code Sections 12-23-6 and 12-24-6, the fee in lieu amounts should be established annually by resolution of the Vail Town Council. She spoke briefly .about the calculation as it related to using the Area Median Income and real estate prices per square foot as depicted in the council packet memo. Moffet expressed concern about the methodology behind the calculations and the impacts that are brought on by a rising real estate market. Moffet moved to table Resolution No. 14, Series of 2014, in order to schedule further discussion about the details of the policy. He requested that the topic be scheduled for work session on May 6th. Ludwig seconded the motion. There were some council inquiries about how the calculations were developed. There were no public comments on this topic. The motion passed unanimously 7-0. The seventh item on the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 10, Series 2014, Ordinance making budget adjustments to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Conference Center Fund, Dispatch Services Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund, Debt Service Fund and Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund. Kathleen Halloran presented this item with a review of the changes from first reading that included General Fund changes as follows: $11,000 request to update the town’s emergency preparedness operations plan. A consultant frequently used within Eagle County would be hired to prepare a strategic plan identifying an emergency response approach based on national models (FEMA’s Incident Command System format) in order to bring the town’s plan concurrent with the county’s updated plan. Staff would review whether or not this funding couldn’t be included in 2015 budget as requested by Daly. $70,000 request to fund a resort competitiveness study to be completed by RRC Associates, who would perform a review of existing research, develop a competitive assessment (peer resort visits, analysis of infrastructure/facilities, etc.) and recommend actions. Rogers asked the plan be completed per the Council’s strategic plan discussion. Daly asked why the proposal was divided into 2 sections. Chris Cares, RRC, responded to questions explaining their idea was to build on the existing work as well as capturing all other broader information sources into one document, including nationally ski industry research and information. Bugby questioned whether the marketing district should be funding the work; Rogers noted this background work would serve the Council in many capacities and said that it would then be likely to present possible marketing initiatives to the district with funding opportunities. The Capital Projects Fund changes included the following: $246,000, during the April 1st Council meeting, an acceleration of street light replacement project was approved for replacement of light fixtures throughout town. Budgeted expenditures would increase by this amount. 5/6/2014 Town Council Meeting Minutes of April 15, 2014 Page 4 $25,000 is requested for additional conceptual design, program analysis and potential legal costs should the town continue plans for a municipal site redevelopment. $7,550 is requested to supplement the $5,000 originally budgeted in 2014 for the Chamonix Housing Market study. Earlier this year the town contracted with Rees Consulting for this work. With no further questions or comments, Moffet moved to approve on second reading Ordinance No. 10, Series 2014 as read; Rogers seconded the motion. There were no public comments. The motion passed unanimously 7-0. The eighth item on the agenda was adjournment. There being no further business to come before the council, Rogers moved to adjourn with a second from Moffet. The motion passed unanimously, 7-0 and the meeting adjourned at 7 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Attest: __________________________________ Andrew P.

BACKGROUND: The I-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multi-modal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under I- 70. This underpass has been identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP). The design team previously presented the traffic analysis for the underpass intersections. After much discussion, Council directed the design team to reevaluate three specific intersection configurations using only a traffic movement operations goal of Level of Service (LOS) D for ideal conditions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council endorse the recommended Compact Roundabout / Roundabout intersection configuration. ATTACHMENTS: Memo Presentation Traffic Districbution Memo & Figures 2040 PM Level of Service 5/6/2014 To: Town Council From: Public Works Department Date: 5-6-14 Subject: I-70 Vail Underpass Project Intersection Recommendation I. BACKGROUND The I-70 Vail Underpass is a proposed new multimodal pedestrian and vehicular connection that is midway between Main Vail and West Vail exits, passing under I-70. This underpass has been identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP) and the CDOT I-70 Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) as a critical link between the North and South Frontage Road. The Town and CDOT have recently entered into a Letter of Commitment and an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) to jointly fund the design and construction of this project with an expected completion date of December of 2017. CDOT, the Town of Vail, and the selected design consultant, Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), have begun the design process based on the recently endorsed preferred location of the underpass and will provide an update of the traffic analysis to Town Council. For reference each of the past Town Council presentations and Council meeting video links along with additional project information is available at the project website at www.vailgov.com/underpass At the April 1st Town Council meeting, the design team presented the traffic analysis for the underpass intersections. After much discussion, Council directed the design team to reevaluate three specific intersection configurations using only a traffic movement operations goal of Level of Service (LOS) D for ideal conditions. The LOS D goal will meet the design criteria for CDOT and FHWA; however it will be a deviation from the VTMP recommended LOS levels of C for ideal conditions and D for snowy conditions. The three intersection configurations that were requested to be evaluated for the North Frontage Rd/South Frontage Rd intersections are; • T Intersection with WB Bypass / T Intersection with EB Bypass • T Intersection with WB Bypass / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane • Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane The purpose of this Council session is to review the reevaluated intersection configurations based on traffic movement operations goal of LOS D, and endorse an intersection type for both the North and South Frontage Roads. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 2 II. INTERSECTION EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATION As discussed at the April 1st Council meeting the traffic operations as well as many other relating factors must be considered when evaluating the design of the two intersections at the proposed underpass. In order to better evaluate this design decision, the Project Staff and the Project Leadership Team developed Evaluation Criteria for this decision. • Intersection traffic design/service life meets the 20 year traffic projections • Intersection traffic Level of Service meets Vail revised criteria and FHWA/CDOT criteria at the new underpass locations and at nearby impacted intersections • Conforms with Vail’s comprehensive plans and planning objectives • Mitigates/minimizes safety issues (Vehicular, Pedestrian, Bicyclist, Transit) • Minimizes maintenance impacts (Snow removal, Landscaping, Long term Mtn. Costs) • Provides adequate access for adjacent properties and community wide for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles • Mitigates/minimizes environmental Impacts (Noise, Lighting, Property, Accessibility, Water Quality, etcB) • Provides enhanced aesthetics meeting Vail standards • Provides scalability if needed in the future for increased traffic operations • Minimizes construction cost, Right of Way acquisition, and duration In order to complete this evaluation the design team reviewed conceptual layouts for each of the 4 options (attached) and intersection traffic analyses for each option. The traffic volumes and calculated Levels of Service and queue lengths are also attached. Please note that the traffic LOS criteria for evaluation was revised based on Council request to meet a LOS of D during ideal conditions. The traffic diagrams do show snowy conditions to provide additional information. Based on the above criteria, three intersection configurations requested by Council were evaluated, as well as a fourth new option. The options include the following configurations (north / south); • T Intersection with WB Bypass / T Intersection with EB Bypass • T Intersection with WB Bypass / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane • Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane • Compact Roundabout / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane (new concept) The first three options were discussed at the previous Council session. The fourth option includes a Compact Roundabout at the north intersection which is relatively new to the United States and is not found on any state owned roadway facilities within 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 3 Colorado. Recently, in the past ten years, this type of compact roundabout has been implemented in many private developments and locally owned road networks. Locally this can be seen along Beard/Berry Creek Road in Edwards, the northernmost roundabout at the Edwards interchange. Compact roundabouts are generally up to 30% smaller than typical single lane roundabouts. A typical single lane roundabout which accommodates all truck movements has a diameter of 130’ to 180’. The compact roundabout in Edwards and the one proposed in this option is ~105’ in diameter. The reduction in size directly relates to the ability to landscape the center island and limits the ability for large trucks to make all traffic movements unless the center island remains un-landscaped. After some discussion regarding compact roundabouts, the design team along with CDOT and FHWA believe that this may be an appropriate site to propose a compact roundabout. The compact roundabout will provide the same traffic operation benefits as a standard single lane roundabout, with the exception of allowing all truck turning movements. The design limitations on the truck turning movements with be further discussed with CDOT and FHWA, the outcome will directly impact the ability to landscape a small center island. Currently the intent would be to have a small center landscaped island similar in size and scale to the north Main Vail roundabout. Evaluation of 4 Options: Each of the four options can be summarized as follows; T Intersection with WB Bypass / T Intersection with EB Bypass; • An unfamiliar intersection configuration, a couple statewide examples can be seen at the intersection of US 285 and US 24 (south of Buena Vista), and at DIA (near gas station), both signalized versions. • All traffic movements meet the traffic operations goal of LOS D at north intersection, but not at south intersection, where the WB through movement is expected to operate at LOS F. This option also introduces queue between each intersection that may impact operations at peak times under all way stop control. • Requires 4 lanes of traffic beneath the underpass to accommodate turn lanes and queue lengths adding to the I-70 bridge span lengths. • Reduces the area of impact on Simba Run Condominiums property; however it extends the impacts along the length of the property, significantly impacting driveway access flexibility. The Simba Run driveway will get closer to the east building and the Savoy Villas driveway enters at the by-pass merge point, therefore potentially requiring this driveway to be restricted to right in-right out and/or being moved west onto Timber Ridge property. • Can be designed to minimize safety and maintenance concerns, however this will introduce a mid-block pedestrian/bicycle crossing across the bypass lanes, an unfavorable condition similar to crosswalks at the Municipal Building, and the Ritz Carlton, • Aesthetically challenging, as it is very linear and functional in design and has limited areas for landscape that can break up the intersection design. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 4 • Scalable to a degree. The most practical way to increase capacity in this type of design is to add a traffic signal or replace with roundabout at a significant cost. T Intersection with WB Bypass / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane • The North Frontage Road T intersection will have the same conditions and impacts as described above. • All traffic movements at the south roundabout will operate well at LOS C or better; however this configuration may lead to increased queue lengths along the northbound approach of the underpass due to the unrestricted flow from south to north and a stop condition at the North Frontage Road. This queue will negatively affect the south roundabouts functionality. • The south roundabout provides better safety conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles as compared to the T intersection. This is based on statewide and national accepted data. Roundabouts reduce vehicular speeds at all legs, eliminate serious head-on and T-bone accidents, and shorten and minimize conflict points for all modes. • The south roundabout provides enhanced aesthetics due to the large landscaped center island. • The south roundabout is scalable to a degree. The most practical way to increase capacity if needed is to enlarge the roundabout; this can be planned for by placing required retaining walls in locations that allow for a future enlargement. Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux.Lane; • Provides a traffic solution that is familiar in Vail, • All traffic movements operate well at LOS C or better for both the north and south intersections. • Has the largest impacts to private property as compared to the other currently considered configurations, • Can be designed to minimize safety and maintenance concerns (Main Vail & West Vail as examples). Based on actual accident data roundabouts are considered the safest intersections for all modes of transportation. • Is aesthetically pleasing, • Scalable to a degree. The most practical way to increase capacity is to enlarge the roundabout, this can be planned for by placing required retaining walls in locations that allow for a future enlargement, Compact Roundabout / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane; • Provides a traffic solution that is familiar in Vail. However the North Roundabout is considered a compact roundabout being approximately 25% smaller than a typical single lane roundabout. The reduced size does not affect capacity just landscaping potential. • All traffic movements operate well at LOS C or better for both the north and south intersections. • Has the least physical impacts to private property with regards to area of encroachment, 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 5 • Can be designed to minimize safety and maintenance concerns (Main Vail & West Vail as examples). Based on actual accident data roundabouts are considered the safest intersections for all modes of transportation. • The north roundabout will have a smaller center island to provide landscaping and enhanced aesthetics, however the south roundabout may be able to be much larger providing significantly more landscaping, depending on final design diameter. • North roundabout would have limitations on truck turning movements, forcing larger trucks to go straight along the Frontage Road and not through the underpass. • Scalable to a degree. The most practical way to increase capacity is to enlarge the roundabout, this can be planned for by placing required retaining walls in locations that allow for a future enlargement, Recommended Option: Based on a review of the conceptual design layouts (attached) and the evaluation criteria matrix (attached), the design team recommends option 4, the Compact Roundabout / Single Lane Roundabout w/ Aux. Lane. This option will provide for current and future traffic needs, is an intersection configuration that is familiar within Vail, provides the safest intersection configuration, provides the least encroachment into private property, and will provide an aesthetically pleasing design for Vail. III. NEXT STEPS Staff is requesting that Council provides input and solicits public feedback regarding the intersection configuration recommendation; and requests that Council endorse the recommended intersection configuration. Once an intersection configuration is endorsed the design team will continue to move forward in preliminary design and environmental analysis. During preliminary design and environmental analysis the design team will more thoroughly vet a design solution, including but not limited to; • Determining the best horizontal and vertical design location; finding the ‘best fit’ geometric design within the constraints of the endorsed preferred location and endorsed intersection type, with emphasis to reduce encroachment and impacts on private property. • Structural selection for bridges and retaining walls. Taking into account structural needs, impacts, and aesthetics. • Project mitigation measures for adjacent properties in close proximity to the proposed project related to environmental impacts, including Visibility, Noise, Aesthetics, Lighting, Air and Water Quality. • 3D interactive rendering will be prepared and presented to the public at a future Town Council meeting. This model will allow the public to visualize the underpass and how impacts may be mitigated. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 6 IV. PROJECT PROGRESS SCHEDULE As we continue thru this collaborative process it is important to note that we are quickly coming up against a critical milestone within the project’s schedule. In order to provide adequate time to complete the construction of the project by December of 2017, it is critical that we complete the preliminary design by August of 2014. This preliminary design milestone, forces our hand to be starting geometric design of the underpass and intersection by mid May. The following is a list of key design milestones and more formal public input opportunities anticipated to occur during the design process. As this process is dynamic these dates will fluctuate as the project develops; May 2014 Town Council Update (Intersection Selection) June 2014 Town Council Update (Design Progress) August 2014 Town Council Update (Preliminary Design Complete) September 2014 Open House October 2014 Town Council Update (Environmental Clearance Update) March 2015 Town Council Update (Final Design Complete) March 2015 Open House (Final Design) March 2015-Jan. 2016 Right of Way plans and property acquisition process January 2016 Final Environmental Clearance (FHWA) March-April 2016 Construction Documents, Bid & Award, Open House May 2016-Dec. 2017 Construction As the project progresses public input will be taken continuously thru the project website at www.vailgov.com/underpass and thru specific stakeholders meetings and correspondence.

A seven step process was followed to develop the 2040 total traffic volumes for use in the I-70 Vail Underpass traffic analyses. This process is outlined below and should be read in conjunction with the attached figures. A. Step 1 - Existing Peak Season 2012 Traffic Conditions Existing conditions are set at year 2012 to coincide with recent traffic counts collected by the Town of Vail. Traffic counts were collected at the study intersections during the 2012 Christmas holiday. AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions were collected on Friday December 28, 2012, corresponding to the day with highest hotel room booking rates throughout the Town. These peak period counts were used as a basis in analyzing peak conditions at the study intersections. Existing 2012 traffic volumes are summarized for the project intersections in Step 1. B. Step 2 - Existing Peak Season Traffic with Underpass The intersections of Lions Ridge Loop with North Frontage Road (#29) and Westhaven Drive with South Frontage Road (#23) were identified as the closest count locations to the proposed underpass. The highlighted traffic movements were tabulated to derive the existing through traffic volumes along the North and South Frontage Roads at the proposed underpass location. The existing PM traffic volumes for both the eastbound and westbound directions combined are 583 vph at the North intersection (#48), and 986 vph at the South intersection (#40). C. Step 3 - Existing Peak Season Diversion by Movement As described in the VTMP, a large number of trips currently use the Main Vail and West Vail roundabout interchanges to perform “u-turn” movements between various locations on the North and South Frontage Roads. Five movements were identified where traffic would be expected to divert from the roundabout interchanges to the proposed underpass:  North Main Vail (#1) Eastbound right turns (30% diversion)  South Main Vail (#2) Eastbound left turns (30% diversion)  South Main Vail (#2) Westbound right turns (15% diversion)  North West Vail (#5) Westbound left turns (30% diversion) 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 2  South West Vail (#6) Westbound right turns (30% diversion) The diversion percentages and resultant diversion volumes (of existing trips) are highlighted for each of the five movements. D. Step 4 - Existing Peak Season Diverted Trips The diversion volumes identified for each of the five movements described in Step 3 were diverted from the roundabout interchanges to the proposed underpass intersections. Each of the five movement diversions have been tracked on the figure. Note that when trips are diverted, the trips are subtracted from the origin location (and corresponding downstream intersections) and then added to the diversion location to ensure that double counting does not occur. A total of 156 PM trips are estimated to divert from the North Frontage Road, and travel on the underpass to the South intersection (#40). A total of 403 PM trips are estimated to divert from the South Frontage Road and travel on the underpass to the North intersection (#48). The diverted volumes are depicted on the Southbound approach to the South intersection (62+94 = 156) and the Northbound approach to the North intersection (302 + 101 = 403). E. Step 5 – 2040 Background Peak Season Traffic with Underpass – General Growth The underpass project is projected to be complete in 2018. Typically a planning horizon of 20 years is used for traffic analyses; the horizon / design year is often adjusted (by industry practice) to the nearest 5 year increment to correspond with state and federal planning documents. As such, a 22 year planning horizon / design year (2040) has been agreed upon by the Town of Vail and CDOT for this project. Based upon historic growth rates and estimated growth along the I-70 mountain corridor, an annual growth percentage of 0.25% was selected by the project design team to apply to existing traffic volumes. The existing traffic volumes were counted in 2012; the annual growth percentage was applied over 28 years to the design year of 2040. A multiplier of 1.072 was calculated and has been applied to the existing traffic volumes with the underpass. The general growth volumes do not include any additional development traffic in Vail; they essentially represent an increase in vehicles passing by/through Vail on I-70. In total, the general growth volumes in the PM peak hour are 84 vph at the North intersection (#48), and 98 vph at the South intersection (#40). F. Step 6 – 2040 Development Traffic with Underpass – Development Growth As discussed at the Vail Town Council meeting on April 1, 2014, development growth at 33 sites in Vail was estimated based upon rates and procedures established in the VTMP. The Town of Vail engineering staff has been tracking development since the VTMP was finalized; the development growth expected to occur between 2012 and 2040 was estimated. The estimated development growth was then distributed to the town roadway network which includes the proposed underpass. Development growth 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 3 volumes (rounded to the nearest 5) in the PM peak hour are 435 vph at the North intersection (#48), and 425 vph at the South intersection (#40). G. Step 7 – 2040 Total Traffic with Underpass The component traffic volumes identified (existing, diverted, general growth, and development growth) were added together to determine the total traffic volumes at the North and South Underpass intersections. The 2040 total traffic volumes in the PM peak hour are 1505 vph at the North intersection (#48), and 1665 vph at the South intersection (#40). 5/6/2014 Tr a f f i c V o l u m e s - S t e p 1 Ex i s t i n g P e a k S e a s o n T r a f f i c DO T DE P A R T M E N T O F T R A N S P O R T A T I O N CO L O R A D O FELSBURG HOLT&ULLEVIG Va i l I n t e r c h a n g e P E L , 1 3 - 1 6 4 , 4 / 2 9 / 1 4 1( 3 ) 1( 3 ) 11 ( 2 ) 0(0 ) 26 2 ( 2 3 8 ) 7(1 1 ) 5(1)28(40)1(6)399(161) 2(6) 238(832) 162(304) 17(6) 64(180)413(1103)172(251)51(69)5(12) 210(154) 92(63) 382(253) 6(38) 6( 1 0 ) 62 ( 1 9 0 ) 33 ( 1 0 1 ) 15 0 ( 2 2 3 ) 62 ( 7 5 ) 18( 1 5 ) 0(0 ) 531 ( 3 4 0 ) 157 ( 9 3 ) 256 ( 9 1 ) 33(57) 74(186) 13(35) 64(84) 28 ( 4 4 ) 14 8 ( 3 2 3 ) 57(28 ) 29(47 ) 2 4 ( 3 5 ) 1 6 4 ( 1 7 8 ) 1 3 2 ( 5 7 8 ) 4 1 ( 6 6 ) 4 0 3 ( 2 6 9 ) 9 0 ( 8 9 ) 61(73 ) 34(10 6 ) S.

PRESENTER(S): Greg Hall ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Provide direction to staff regarding moving forward with final project implementation. BACKGROUND: Phase II Energy Project is a continuing effort by the Town of Vail to meet the adopted goal of 20% energy savings by 2020. The project is funded in part through grants and rebates from Holy Cross Energy. See memo for specifics of the project. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council direct staff to proceed to finalize the neighborhood streetlight design and enter into a contract for Phase II of the Facility -Wide Energy Conservation Project up to $ 543,868, and to supplement the budget up to $156,981 additional dollars from the capital projects fund balance. ATTACHMENTS: Facility Wide Endergy Memorandum 5/6/2014 To: Vail Town Council From: Community Development and Public Works Departments Date: May 6, 2014 Subject: Holy Cross Energy Grant – Phase II Facility-Wide Energy Conservation Project I. PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to present Phase II of the Town of Vail’s Facility Wide Energy Conservation Project through use of LED lighting technology, supported by Holy Cross Energy’s Think BIG Grant. II. BACKGROUND In a continuing effort to meet the Town of Vail’s adopted sustainability goal of reducing the town’s 2006 baseline energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020, staff evaluated an upgrade of remaining lights which were not part of the town’s Phase I project, primarily outside lighting. The Phase I project resulted in a reduction of 1,792,320 kilowatt hours (kWh) and an annual savings of $159,283. The town applied for and received Holy Cross Energy’s Think BIG Grant last December. Grant requirements included a minimum savings of 500,000 kilowatt hours per year and project completion by December 31, 2014. The town contacted Illuminex, a LED bulb supplier and retrofit specialty company to assist with the town’s application. They were most recently contracted by the Town of Breckenridge in converting their street lights to LED. III. PROJECT The conversion of the town street lights alone did not meet the savings requirements of the Think BIG grant. In order to meet the requirements Illuminex recommended upgrading current fluorescent facility lighting in addition to street lighting to LED technology. In 2011 LED retrofit technology did not exist, but rather it was necessary to replace old fluorescent lamps with a new fluorescent lamp and ballast, or it was necessary to replace old fixtures with new LED fixtures as was done in both parking structures. However since then, LED retrofit technology has evolved in two areas. The dependability and wide array of products available in the market have increased, and the cost of LED retrofit bulbs has halved in the last two years. Grant Update Since the grant award, a more detailed analysis has been performed and several changes have been made: 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 2 • The original grant proposal included the Dobson Ice arena. However, because the town does not pay the utility bill at Dobson this portion of the project was eliminated and the grant was adjusted. The current Think BIG grant amount is $147,627. • A detailed total inventory of street lights was conducted along with employee housing projects, adding several hundred bulbs to the project. • Because some of the street lights are not metered and the town pays a flat rate, The Think BIG Grant does not apply, but Holy Cross Energy does have a smaller rebate program which may be applied to non-metered lighting. • Additional lighting at the employee housing projects also qualifies for a Holy Cross rebate using their residential formula. • The total value of grants and rebates available for this project is now $165,663-$169,605 depending on the final neighborhood streetlight design. Energy Savings With the assistance of Illuminex, the town initially identified an energy savings potential of up to 882,093 kWh per year as a proposed Phase II lighting project upgrade. The detailed analysis which included adjusting usage rates and adding additional street lights and employee housing now shows an energy savings potential of between 936,933-964,468 kWh depending on the final neighborhood light fixture design. This includes over 7,300 bulbs to be replaced. A savings of 964,468 kWh equals an additional 6.16 % reduction in the town’s overall energy use. The combined savings of Phases I and II will be 18.46% of the 20% goal. This original estimated energy cost savings for this project per year was calculated at $66,157. The revised energy cost savings is $73,309-$71,653. Environmental Factors Savings of 964,468 kWh per year is equal to a reduction of 705 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which equals: • 213 cars removed from the roads • 65,092 gallons of gas saved • The equivalent of planting 775 trees. Capital Cost The initial project cost without Dobson was estimated at $ 433,211. The revised project capital cost has been narrowed down to two final options for the design of the neighborhood streetlights with an investment range of $519,147-$543,868. Maintenance Savings This original maintenance savings per year was estimated at $56,728. This included annual product savings as well a labor savings due to the longer bulb life. The revised estimate includes a total maintenance savings of $50,602 of which $19,638 is material and $30,964 is labor. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 3 Simple Payback and Return on Investment Phase II Project (Original and Revised) Simple Payback – Original and Revised Phase II Project Cost Annual Savings Payback Original project simple payback $433,211 $66,157 (energy only) 6.54 yrs Original project payback w/ grant $285,584 $66,157 (energy only) 4.32 yrs Revised project simple payback $519,157 $92,947 (energy + materials) ($73,309+$19,638) 5.61 yrs Revised project payback w/ grant $360,072 $92,947 (energy + materials) ($73,309+$19,638) 3.80 yrs Return on Investment – Revised Phase II Project Return on Investment w/ grant $92,947 / $360,072 25.81% Return on Investment with w/ grant, labor and material savings included $73,309+$50,602 / $360,072 34.41% Internal Return on Investment over the 9.6 year project life 24.67% IV. PROJECT FUNDING Costs Material for 7,300 bulb replacements $ 353,058 Labor to install and remove the ballasts from the current fixtures $ 124,088 Total estimated cost $ 519,157-543,868 Funding Source Energy Conservation project funds $ 221,224 Holy Cross Think BIG Grant and rebate funds $ 165,663-169,605 Additional capital funds required to complete the entire retrofit $ 128,328-156,981 Total Capital funds required $ 519,157-543,868 V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Vail Town Council direct staff to proceed to finalize the neighborhood streetlight design and enter into a contract for Phase II of the Facility - Wide Energy Conservation Project up to $ 543,868, and to supplement the budget up to $156,981 additional dollars from the capital projects fund balance.

PEC130046 5/6/2014 TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: May 6, 2014 SUBJECT: First reading of Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2014, an ordinance repealing and reenacting the approved development plan for Phase III of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in gross residential floor area to facilitate additions to existing dwelling units, located at 100 East Meadow Units 501 and 502 (Vail Village Inn, Phase III) /Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130046) Applicant: Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architect Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architect, is requesting a first reading of Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2014, an ordinance repealing and reenacting the approved development plan for Phase III of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code to allow for an increase in gross residential floor area to facilitate additions to existing dwelling units, located at 100 East Meadow Units 501 and 502 (Vail Village Inn Phase 3) /Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC130046) II. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2014, upon first reading. III. BACKGROUND On March 24, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the proposal to add approximately 792 square feet of GRFA to Units 501 and 502 of Vail Village Inn, Phase III. The Commission offered comments on the proposal with regard to the need to evaluate the proposal pursuant to the criteria, the new roof elements and the need to tie the south roof element to the balcony below. The Commission, at the applicant’s request, tabled the item to April 14, 2014. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 2 On April 14, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the request for a recommendation on a major amendment to add GRFA to Units 501 and 502. The Commission forwarded a recommend of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for a major amendment to SDD No.6, Vail Village Inn, to increase the allowable GRFA for Phase III, with a vote of 7-0-0. This recommendation was based upon the review of the criteria outlined in the April 14, 2014 memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the evidence and testimony presented. The Vail Town Code provides different review criteria, process and expectations depending on the scope of the proposed project. Because the proposed additions to each unit exceed 250 square feet (Unit 501 exceeds 250 square feet by 27 square feet, Unit 502 by 265 square feet), this project is required to be processed as a Major Amendment to a Special Development District and demonstrate compliance with the following standard: Public Benefit: The proposed deviations provide benefits to the town must outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations. As outlined in Section VII of the attached April 14, 2014 Planning and Environmental Commission Staff Report, staff believes that the scope of the project, particularly its proposed increase in square footage, does not necessitate considerable benefit as the adverse effects of the proposed deviations are negligible. Staff considers that the benefit proposed, including upgraded roofing materials over the majority of the structure and replacement of outdated street lights to be commensurate with the deviations requested. It is important to note that if this project were to reduce the proposed additions to less than 250 square feet per unit, no demonstration of benefit would be required. IV. DEVELOPMENT STATISTICS Should Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2014 be approved, the development statistics in Phase III will change as follows: Development Standard Approved/ Existing Proposed Change Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) Unit 501 Unit 502 Total Phase III SDD #6 2,467 sq. ft. 1,399 sq. ft. 46,067 sq. ft. 2,744 sq. ft. 1,914 sq. ft. 46,859 sq. ft. +277 sq. ft. +515 sq. ft. +792 sq. ft.

(PEC130046) Applicant: Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architect Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, Deltec Bank and Trust, represented by Eggers Architecture, Inc., is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment to a Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an increase in gross residential floor area to facilitate additions to existing dwelling units, located at 100 East Meadow Units 501 and 502 (Vail Village Inn Phase 3) Based upon Staff’s review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, of the major amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 6, Vail Village Inn, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant is proposing to add approximately 277 square feet of GRFA to Unit 501 and approximately 515 square feet of GRFA to Unit 502. Components of this project include: • The main floor entrance of Unit 501 will expand into the existing common area, capturing 103 square feet of floor area. This expansion coincides with a complete interior remodel of that level. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 2 • The existing 322 square foot loft of Unit 501 is proposed to be remodeled to include a bedroom suite and loft area with an increase of 174 square feet. • A new roof element is being added to Unit 501 to meet egress requirements for the bedroom suite and loft area. The roof will present as a dormer on the north elevation and as a gable end element on the south elevation. The ridgeline of the proposed gable matches the existing ridgeline of the building. • The existing 5th floor deck of Unit 501 is proposed to be enlarged to coincide with the new roof element. • Unit 502 is proposing an interior remodel that includes a new loft in the attic area above the unit currently occupied by a suspended mechanical mezzanine. The mechanicals will be relocated and the 515 square foot loft will consist of an exercise room with an attached bath and steam room. • A shed dormer is proposed to provide natural lighting to the new loft area of Unit 502. This dormer bridges the existing tower elements and is approximately three (3) feet above the existing ridge. • All new roof elements and the existing roofs of levels four and five will be clad in DaVinci Shakes. The existing roof was shingled with natural wood shakes in 2005. The remaining wood shingle elements in existence on levels two and three will be replaced in the future with DaVinci Shakes to match. • Replacement of the existing outdated street lights located along the Frontage Road with lights that meet Town of Vail specifications. The applicant has provided a written description of their request, (Attachment A) and plans, (Attachment B), both dated April 4, 2014. III. BACKGROUND In 1976, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1976, establishing Special Development District No.6, Vail Village Inn. The purpose of SDD No.6 is to assure the comprehensive development and use of an area of land in a manner that would be harmonious with the general character of the town, provide adequate open space and recreation amenities, and promote the objectives of the zoning ordinance of the town. Ordinarily, a special development district will be created only when the development is regarded as complementary to the Town by the Town Council, Planning and Environmental Commission, and Design Review Board, and there are significant aspects of the development which cannot be satisfied under the existing zoning. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 3 Project History: The following is a summary of the existing phases and development for the Vail Village Inn Special Development District (SDD No. 6): Phase I- This phase consists of the buildings located at the southeast corner of the District. Phase I includes one residential dwelling unit approximately 3,927 square feet in size and nine commercial/retail spaces. The original development plan for Phase I called for 16,128 square feet of commercial space, and no GRFA. The AIpenrose Restaurant is part of Phase I. Phase II- This phase consists of three residential dwelling units totaling approximately 3,492 square feet in size and three commercial/retail spaces. Phase II is generally located in the center of the District and includes the Claggett-Rey Gallery. Phase Ill- This Phase consists of twenty-nine residential dwelling units totaling approximately 44,830 square feet in size and six commercial/retail spaces. Phase Ill is located at the northeast corner of the District. Phase IV- This is the original, oldest and most recently redeveloped Phase in the District. This Phase (The Sebastian) consists of two residential dwelling units totaling approximately 6,827 square feet in size, one hundred accommodation units and forty-nine fractional fee units comprising approximately 97,788 square feet of floor area. Phase IV is generally located in the northwest corner of the District. Phase V- This Phase consists of eleven residential dwelling units and three accommodation units totaling approximately 9,972 square feet of floor area and four commercial/retail spaces. Phase V is located in the southwest corner of the District at the intersection of Vail Road and East Meadow Drive. This phase includes the La Botega restaurant. Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1985 (March, 1985) granted 120,600 square feet of GRFA to SDD No. 6. This ordinance also required a minimum of 175 accommodation units (AUs) and 72,400 square feet of GRFA, devoted entirely to AUs in Phase IV. Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1987 (May, 1987), amended Phase IV of SDD No. 6. The amendment allowed Phase IV to be broken into two distinct and separate phases, which were called Phase IV and Phase V. This ordinance also set the maximum GRFA for the SDD at 120,600 square feet. Further, the ordinance required a minimum of 148 AUs and 67,367 square feet of GRFA devoted to AUs in Phases IV and V. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 4 Ordinance No. 24, Series of 1989 (November, 1989) amended the density section of SDD No. 6. This ordinance modified the SOD by increasing the allowable GRFA to a total of 124,527 square feet. This allowed Unit No. 30 (originally Good's retail) in the Vail Village Plaza Condominiums to be converted from commercial to residential use. The space consists of 3,927 square feet of GRFA, and the conversion to residential use has been completed. This ordinance also maintained the approval for a minimum of 148 AUs and 67,367 square feet of GRFA, devoted to AUs, in Phases IV and V of SDD No.6. Ordinance No. 1 and No. 4, Series of 2000, a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6 was approved to allow for construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel. Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for Phase II, which brought the total allowable GRFA for the entire SDD No. 6 to 182,325 square feet. Ordinance No. 21, Series of 2001 adopted a revised Approved Development Plan for Phase IV (i.e. Vail Plaza Hotel), and did not specify, in the form of a revised Approved Development Plan, the total allowable GRFA for the entirety of SDD No. 6. Ordinance No. 32, Series of 2003, adopted a major amendment to SDD No. 6, allowing for the construction of a new dwelling unit above the Alpenrose Restaurant location, which increase the amount of allowable GRFA for the entire SDD to 184,708 sq. ft. and increase the density to 13 DU's per acre. Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2005, adopted a major amendment to SDD No. 6, revising the amount of allowable GRFA for the entire SDD to 186,561 sq. ft. and increasing the density to 13.25 DU's per acre.

SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA Before acting on a major amendment to a special development district amendment application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposal: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. In contrast to other phases of SDD #6, Phase III has seen relatively few amendments. The structure has seen minor changes since its original construction, mainly exterior window updates and interior remodels, but remains largely unchanged from its original build. The proposed modifications will add interest and detail to the building and assists in its relationship to the more recently constructed adjacent properties. Staff believes that the proposed additions are compatible with the neighborhood related to architectural design and style. The additions will have a minor effect on the building’s perceived mass and scale. The application has followed the guidelines recommended in the Vail Village Urban Design Standards by locating the infill out of sun/shade or views as illustrated by the drawings below: 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 8 The proposal complies with the overall height limit of the district as the proposed dormers do not increase the building’s height. The new roof forms follow the flow of the existing roof forms to allow the viewer’s eye to carry, resulting in a complete building whose additions are not over dominant or recognizable. The building additions are of appropriate scale for the structure and are compatible with the character of the neighborhood. Staff finds the proposal does comply with this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The proposal does not propose to change any of the uses, activity, or densities which are currently constructed within the project. The proposal to increase the allowable GRFA within the SDD requires mitigation of the impacts to employee generation pursuant to Chapter 12-24, Inclusionary Zoning, Vail Town Code. The applicant has stated in their written materials that the pay-in-lieu option would be selected if the proposal were approved. An increase in the allowable GRFA by 792 square feet results in a pay-in-lieu fee of $10,664.00 (79.2 s.f. x $134.65) under the existing adopted fee schedule. The pay-in-lieu fee is currently under its annual review with potential changes occurring in April. The required payment is calculated at the time of building permit submittal and may be different that the number above. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 9 The proposal to add approximately 792 square feet of GRFA to Units 501 and 502 do not change the required parking or loading and delivery requirements for the development. As a component of the approval for the Sebastian, its developer was required to provide a centralized loading and delivery facility for the use of all owners and tenants within SDD #6 and also to be made available for public and/or private loading and delivery programs. The continued use of this facility is vital in mitigating the loading and delivery impacts upon Vail Village. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Staff has reviewed the Vail comprehensive plan and found the following documents and associated goals, objectives, statements applicable to this proposal. Vail Land Use Plan (in part) 1. General Growth / Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 4. Village Core / Lionshead 4.1. Future commercial development should continue to occur primarily in existing commercial areas. Future commercial development in the Core areas needs to be carefully controlled to facilitate access and delivery. 4.2. Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as the existing character of each area is preserved through implementation of the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. 4.3. The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling, mountains, natural settings, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling, environmental quality.) 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 10 5. Residential 5.1. Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. Vail Village Master Plan (in part) V. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND ACTION STEPS GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE PRESERVING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SCALE OF THE VILLAGE IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND IDENTITY. Objective 1.1: Implement a consistent development review process to reinforce the character of the Village. Policy 1.1.1: Development and improvement projects approved in the Village shall be consistent with the goals, objectives, policies and design considerations as outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan. Objective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Policy 1.2.1: Additional development may be allowed as identified by the Action Plan and as is consistent with the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Guide Plan. VII. VAIL VILLAGE SUB-AREAS A major goal of this Plan is to address the Village as a whole and at the same time be sensitive to the opportunities and constraints that may exist on a site specific basis. To facilitate long range planning unique to each area of the Village, ten different sub-areas are delineated in this Plan. Sub-areas were determined based on a number of different considerations. Foremost among these were: • design and site characteristics • geographic or physical boundaries • land uses and ownership patterns Each of the ten sub-areas have been evaluated relative to the overall goals, objectives, and policies outlined for Vail Village. The potential improvement projects, referred to as sub-area concepts, which have emerged from this evaluation are graphically represented on the Action Plan. These sub-area 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 11 concepts are physical improvements intended to reinforce the desired physical form of the Village as outlined in the various elements of the Master Plan. The 10 sub-areas (which follow), provide detailed descriptions of each sub-area concept and express the relationship between the specific sub-area concepts and the overall Plan. The applicable goals and objectives are cited for each of the sub area concepts at the end of each description under "special emphasis." The sub-area concepts described in this Section are meant to serve as advisory guidelines for future land use decisions by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. Compliance with the sub-area concepts does not assure development approval by the Town. It is important to note that the likelihood of project approval will be greatest for those proposals that can fully comply with the Vail Village Master Plan. The Urban Design Guide Plan includes additional design detail that is to be used in conjunction with the Vail Village Master Plan sub-area concepts. MIXED USE SUB-AREA (#1) The Mixed-Use sub-area is a prominent activity center for Vail Village. It is distinguished from the Village core by the larger scale buildings and by the limited auto traffic along East Meadow Drive. Comprised of five major development 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 12 projects, this sub-area is characterized by a mixture of residential/lodging and commercial activity. The Vail Comprehensive Plan elements that speak to this site include the Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan. Staff believes the proposed changes do not have an overall negative impact on the intent of stepping buildings up from the pedestrian oriented East Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road East. The proposed building additions are consistent with the infill recommendations of the Vail Village Urban Design Guidelines. The additions are located such that their impacts on adjacent properties and on the pedestrian experience are minimal to nonexistent. The changes to the roof form allow the greater utilization of the upper residential units without the roof reading as cluttered or haphazard. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, is not located within any identified geologic hazard. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The proposal does not include any changes to the site plan, building footprint design or location, or open space provisions. The proposal does include modifications to the roof plan that will allow the greater utilization of the top floor residential units. The new roof elements are designed to be compatible both with the existing structure and the overall design of the district. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. The proposal does not include any changes to the pedestrian or vehicular circulation on or off site. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 13 Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. The proposal does not include any changes to the landscaping or open space on the site as identified on the approved development plan. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. The proposal is intended to be constructed in one phase. Staging for any construction related activity will be reviewed by the Town of Vail staff to ensure impacts are minimized to public rights-of-way and adjacent properties. It is anticipated that the use of the South Frontage Road East right-of-way will be necessary. This right-of-way is controlled by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and will require all appropriate review and permits from CDOT should the project move forward. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 10. Public Benefit: The proposed deviations provide benefits to the town must outweigh the adverse effects of such deviations. As a component of this project, the applicant is proposing to use DaVinci shake shingles on all new roof elements and to replace the existing roofs of levels four and five, currently clad in wood shake, with the polymer based composite roof. This change in roofing material over a significant portion of the building will reduce fire risks for the residents in this building and in the general vicinity. Also included as component of this project is the replacement of the existing outdated street light fixtures along the Frontage Road with TOV approved street lights. As the current plans do not illustrate this element, staff has included an appropriate condition of approval. It should be noted that Village Inn Plaza Phase III completed a rehabilitation of many of its exterior, pedestrian level elements in 2009. Phase I and II are anticipated to act on a recent DRB approval to complete these improvements in the district that include new pavers, site walls, ADA access and landscaping. Although not tied to this proposal, these improvements demonstrate Vail Village Inn’s commitment to maintaining and improving public spaces. 5/6/2014 Town of Vail Page 14 Staff believes that the benefits to the Town including the replacement of outdated street lighting and a reduction in the fire risk to the area outweighs any adverse impacts associated with the proposal.

Proposed Plans dated April 4, 2014 5/6/2014 Village Inn Plaza Vail Village Inn, SDD #6, Phase III Major Amendment to Special District No. 6 Expansion of Units 501 & 502 with Exterior Modifications December 30, 2013 Amended March 12, 2014 Amended April 4, 2014 5/6/2014 I. Introduction The owners of units 501 and 502, Lublan S.A., represented by Loguer Design and Eggers Architecture, Inc., are requesting a major amendment to Special Development District No.6 (SDD#6) to allow for the remodel and expansion of their units. Unit 501 (parcel #: 2101- 082-54-027) is proposing to increase the GRFA by 277 square feet and includes exterior changes to the building including the addition of secondary roof forms. Unit 502 (parcel #: 2101-082-54-028) is proposing to increase the GRFA by 515 square feet and includes the addition of secondary roof forms. The modification of Unit 502 also includes the relocation of an existing mechanical mezzanine to a newly constructed area with a net square footage loss of 49 square feet. According to Section 12-9A-2: Definitions, Vail Town Code, an increase of GRFA is considered a Major SDD Amendment. Unit 501 is proposing to undergo a complete interior remodel. The current plan includes 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and major living spaces on the main level of 2145 square feet. This plan has a loft area overlooking the main living space that includes 322 square feet. The remodel proposes to redesign the main level into three bedrooms and baths with an entry area expanded in to the common hallway between units 501 and 502. The new square footage of the main level will be 2248 square feet, an increase of 103 square feet. Additionally, the loft area will be remodel to include a bedroom suite and loft area overlooking the common area. This new space will include 496 square feet of space, an increase of 174 square feet. Total new GRFA will be 2744 square feet or an increase of 277 square feet on both levels. In order to meet egress requirements for the bedroom on the loft level, a new roof element is being added. The roof will present as a dormer on the north elevation and as a gable end element on the south elevation. The ridge line of the proposed gable matches the existing ridgeline of the building and does not represent a change is the building height. The size and configuration of the gable element is consistent with the existing gable elements on the south elevation. Unit 502 is proposing to remodel the existing kitchen/living area and update the bathrooms in the unit. Additionally, a loft is proposed in the attic area immediately above the unit. There currently exists a suspended mechanical mezzanine between the ceiling of the Unit 502 and the structural roof members. This loft area is 150 square feet is size. By relocating and constructing a new mechanical area in the attic space immediately adjacent and above the common area, the attic space can be utilized as living space by Unit 502. This area is proposed as an exercise room with an attached bath and steam room. A shed dormer is proposed for this area to allow for natural lighting. The roof element is above the main ridgeline of the building but lower than the two elevator tower units on each side of the dormer. This proposed loft represents an increase in the GRFA of 515 square feet to the unit. 5/6/2014 Floor plans of the proposed changes are provided below: 5/6/2014 II. Background Village Inn Plaza is located at 100 East Meadow Drive. The property is part of Phase III of Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn. This SDD has an underlying zoning of Public Accommodation (PA). See vicinity map of property below: SDD #6 was adopted by Ordinance No. 7 of 1976 and has undergone multiple amendments since is adoption. Most of the amendments have been associated with the other phases of the SDD. The structure has seen minor changes since its original construction, mainly exterior window updates and interior remodels, but remains largely unchanged from its original construction. The proposed modifications will be add some exterior detail and update the appearance of the building to match the architectural detailing of the more recently constructed adjacent properties. See photo of the frontage road view taken from the north side of the highway: 5/6/2014 Vail Village Inn deviates from the maximum height limitation set forth in the Public Accommodation zone district of 48 feet for sloped roofs. Building heights were defined by number of stories in the original adoption of SDD#6 and further illustrated in a drawing created by consultants Royston, Hanamoto, Beck and Abey dated February 12, 1976. The building was constructed according to these height restrictions and has not been modified since. The new major gable element matches the existing ridgeline and the new dormer is lower in height than the existing elevator shaft roof elements, therefore not affecting the overall building height. See drawing below: There are no additional parking requirements as the number of units is not changing. III. Zoning Analysis The proposed modification only affects the GRFA and Employee Housing standards of the zoning analysis. All other standards are unchanged and remain as approved by Special Development District #6. Standard Existing Proposed GRFA Unit 501 Unit 502 2467sf 1399 sf 2744 sf (277 additional) 1914 sf (515 additional) Parking 1.4 spaces per unit No change Employee Housing Approved prior to Inclusionary Requirement 79 sf (pay-in-lieu) 5/6/2014 IV. Criteria for Review for the Major Amendment to a Special Development District Section 12-9A-8: Design Criteria and Necessary Findings in the Vail Town Code provides the criteria for review of a Major Amendment to a Special Development District. Below is a listing of the criteria and how the proposal complies with each: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Proposed: The architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation remains largely unchanged as a result of the proposed amendment. The roof changes align with the existing ridge, there fore the height remains the same as constructed. The massing and detailing of the gable elements is consistent with the adjacent gable ends on the building and the added elements add a level of architectural character evident on the newer adjacent properties. Since originally constructed, the character and level of architectural detailing of the village has increased dramatically. Adjacent buildings have been approved with greater heights and the proposed modifications are compatible with the immediate environment. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Proposed: There is no change to the use, activity or number of dwelling units within the proposed amendment. The increase is GRFA is consistent with the intent of Chapter 15 of the Vail Town Code and without the size of the roof elements would qualify as a minor amendment to the SDD. 5/6/2014 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. Proposed: The addition of GRFA does not affect the parking requirements for the units and is unchanged. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Proposed: Village Inn Plaza is within the boundaries of the Vail Village Master Plan and further located within Mixed Use Sub-Area #1. The following objectives of the master plan are applicable to this application: Objective 1.2: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Objective 2.5: Encourage the continued upgrading, renovation and maintenance of existing lodging and commercial facilities to better serve the needs of our guests. 5. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements as there are no changes proposed for the site plan. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. Proposed: The above criterion is not affected by the proposed improvements. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.

The deed restriction includes a three percent annual price appreciation cap and additional language that the occupant of the unit shall be a full time employee of the Town of Vail and their families. In 2007 the Town of Vail sold the unit to one of its full time employees. That employee has owned the unit and lived in it since then. At the end of February 2014 that employee purchased a Vail Commons two-bedroom unit and listed the Vail Heights unit for sale. The Town actively sought another Town employee to purchase the one-bedroom unit. At this time no Town employees have come forward to purchase the unit, while in the past year the Town has seen an uptick in demand from its employees for rental units. One-bedroom rental units constantly have the highest demand from a renter perspective. II. THE UNIT 2079 Chamonix Lane Unit No. 11 is a 564 square foot one-bedroom unit that has been renovated to include all new flooring, fresh paint and a new refrigerator. Additionally the Homeowner’s Association recently replaced the central boiler and water heater.
