A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a review of the Vail Land Use Plan
map, pursuant to Section 8-3, Amendment Process, Vail Land Use Plan, to change the land use
designation of 2000 and 2004 Chamonix Lane from Low Density Residential to Medium Density
Residential, located at 2000 and 2004 Chamonix Lane/Lots 37 and 38, Buffer Creek
Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC140026)
Applicant: Triumph Development, LLC
Planner: Jonathan Spence
ACTION: Recommendation of approval
MOTION: Rediker
Motion failed due to lack of a second
ACTION: Recommendation of denial
MOTION: Cleveland SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 5-1-0 (Rediker opposed)
Items 1 and 2 were discussed simultaneously, while actions on each were independently made.
Jonathan Spence gave a presentation pursuant to the staff memorandum. He began with a
discussion of the applications, how the two applications are related, and the process.
Commissioner Cleveland inquired as to the ownership of the properties.
Michael O'Connor, Triumph Development, is under contract and partnered with the current
owners. He gave a power point presentation focused on land use policies and goals and the
neighborhood history to support the proposal. The presentation highlighted many inconsistences
in the built multi -family condition and the adopted zoning for many properties in the area. He
concluded the presentation by addressing many of the concerns provided in the written
correspondence of the neighboring property owners.
Commissioner Hopkins inquired as to any future plans for the town to improve or add to
pedestrian network of bike paths and sidewalks.
Warren Campbell responded that he was not aware of any plans to extend or improve the
pedestrian network in the neighborhood.
Commissioner Cartin asked for a clear explanation of the differences between the Land Use
Plan Map and Zoning Map, which he felt might be confusing to some in attendance.
Jonathan Spence explained the differences and how they were interrelated. He further detailed
the criteria for reviewing each of the requests.
Commissioner Rediker asked why the property at the intersection of the Frontage Road and
Buffehr Creek Road was multi -family but zoned for a duplex and why it is not in conformance
with the Land Use Plan.
Greg Bemis, resident of Vail, spoke to his knowledge of the property as having being built prior
to annexation.
Jonathan Spence spoke to the effort undertaken when adopting the Vail Land Use Plan
Commissioner Kurz inquired as to the plan and the EHU designated
Barbara Brandon, resident across road from the site, spoke to her understanding that the
neighborhood has some eye sores and there is some redevelopment needed. Hopes that future
redevelopment occurs within existing regulations. This proposal is a jump of 40% in the number
of units. Worried about traffic and safety of walking in their quiet neighborhood. When Vail
Commons was approved all/majority of traffic was to access off the Frontage Road. She spoke
to the preferred Chamonix Master Plan site plan as serving as the "move -up" housing spoken to
by the applicant. By her estimation each unit will be in the neighborhood of $600,000 based on
recent price per square foot of units recently sold at Pine Ridge Townhomes. Supports a
comprehensive approach to developing a master plan for the area which allows for public input.
Wendy Erb, lives on Meadow Ridge Road, spoke to the increase in square footage increase
from existing and the fact that it will equate to more people at the site. She spoke to her inability
to get on buses in the winter due to the number of individuals using the bus. Opposed to piece
meal approach to planning the neighborhood. There needs to be a comprehensive approach.
The argument of what is next door has consequences as elaborated in several scenarios
provided. The plan needs to be headed as creep will occur if the criteria is based upon what is
next door.
Greg Bemis, highlighted that for each positive the applicant has made there is negative impact
as well. For instance to the west is Vail Commons, but to the east in duplex residential. He
spoke to the plans he has seen over the years for the redevelopment of the West Vail Mall and
Safeway which included multiple floors including residential. Feels like this change leads to a
domino effect of increased development. Inquired as to process and the action that would occur
today.
Commissioner Pratt spoke as to the Commission's role in this review and a future opportunity as
the proposal moves forward to the Town Council.
Greg Bemis spoke further about his belief that the public notice should extend beyond
neighboring properties as West Vail is a neighbor that tries to look out for its neighbors and
neighborhood.
Wendy Erb spoke to her understanding that the Commission recommendation is heavily weighed
by the Town Council. She asked that the Commission send the message to the Town Council
that a broader approach to master planning the area.
Commissioner Hopkins spoke to her long term residency and asked when the last time a
comprehensive review was performed on the Land Use Master Plan.
Jonathan Spence spoke to his understanding that the last comprehensive review of the Land
Use Master plan occurred at its adoption in the mid 1980's.
Commissioner Cartin spoke to the criteria for the Land Use Master Plan and the third criteria
which he did not feel was supportive with the application. He spoke to the pockets of low density
that were put in place specifically. He spoke to the density projects access off the Frontage
Road. Chamonix Lane is a more residentially neighborhood design.
Commissioner Cleveland feels Chamonix is a residential street. It does not relate to the
Frontage Road or I-70. It is a reach to speak to traffic on I-70 and the Frontage Road. The
pockets of low density residential appropriately located. The plan is somewhat conceptual,
however, the applicant has not met the criteria and the burden of proof. He feels that this is spot
zoning.
Commissioner Rediker, spoke to the opposition to the application. Piecemeal zoning is not
appropriate. He has spoken in the past in opposition to projects he felt were spot zoning. He
feels this is spot zoning. He asked staff to speak to the criteria that should be generally used to
determine if a zoning request is "spot zoning".
Jonathan Spence provided a response stating the difference between spot zoning and zoning
requests which are not is in compliance with adopted plans. He spoke to how the first action in
this request with regard to the Land Use Plan Map, if adopted, would negate an argument for
spot zoning. Staff's review of the rezoning requested assumed the Land Use Plan Map
amendment was recommended for approval.
Commissioner Rediker asked staff to respond to its response to Criteria No. 5 and the impacts to
the natural environment. How can staff respond to this criteria without a proposed development
plan.
Jonathan Spence spoke to the town's adopted regulations would address elements such as
stormwater run-off, water quality, setbacks, etc.
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to staff's response to the third criteria for the Land Use Plan
Map amendment regarding support of the Comprehensive Plan.
Jonathan Spence spoke to the general goals of the comprehensive plan being met by the
proposed redevelopment of the site.
Commissioner Kurz spoke his belief that Triumph previous good work however in his
neighborhood in East Vail has narrow streets as well and cannot support the proposal. He did
not feel change had occurred to warrant the proposed changes.
Commissioner Pratt spoke to the fact that there is no guiding master plan for West Vail and that
this may be a good time to undertake that effort. Does not feel that the sites warrant "trophy
homes" in a neighborhood that doesn't support that approach. He did not feel the Land Use Plan
Map amendment does not meet the criteria. Feels affordable townhouse properties are needed
in Vail but this proposal today is not is supportable.
Commissioner Rediker spoke to the fact that the neighborhood is full of moderate density
properties inappropriately zoned for two-family duplexes. Spoke to the likelihood of
redevelopment of other greater density projects in the neighborhood.
A motion to recommend approval by Commissioner Rediker failed due to a lack of a second.
A motion to recommend denial passed.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: September 2, 2014
ITEM/TOPIC: Bridge Road Bridge Replacement Discussion
PRESENTER(S): Chad Salli, Public Works
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Provide feedback on the bridge alignment
alternatives, sanitary sewer alignment alternatives and aesthetics of the new structure.
BACKGROUND: In 2011 the Town received a bridge replacement grant for reconstruction of
Bridge Road over the Gore Creek. The Bridge Road structure is scheduled for construction in
2016 with preliminary engineering and design starting 2014. Town staff had identified 5
alternative alignments for the new structure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a bridge alignment that would fall
somewhere between the 60' and 80' span length keeping the new structure and roadway
approaches in its current alignment and keep the sewer main in its current location with a new
casing pipe.

Bridge Road Bridge Replacement
SUMMARY
In 2011 the Town received a bridge replacement grant for reconstruction of Bridge Road
over the Gore Creek. The Bridge Road structure is scheduled for construction in 2016
with preliminary engineering and design starting 2014. Town staff had identified 5
alternative alignments for the new structure.
The purpose of this Council work session is to present alignment alternatives for the
new Bridge Road Bridge to Council and for council to provide feedback on the bridge
alignment alternatives, sanitary sewer alignment alternatives and aesthetics of the new
structure.
PROJECT DETAIL
The existing Bridge Road crossing of the Gore Creek is a triple culvert structure and is
subject to overtopping due to blockage of one or more of the culverts during high water
events. This overtopping of the roadway has required the closure of Bridge Road for
safety. The latest bridge inspection report gives the Bridge Road structure a
classification of "Structurally Deficient" with a sufficiency rating of 69.9 out of 100. The
Town received a grant of $647,000 to replace the crossing with a single span structure.
The project is currently budgeted at $1,300,000.00 for design, ROW/easement
acquisition and construction. Staff identified 5 alignment alternatives for the new
structure and had Loris and Associates evaluate the alternatives, identify right-of-way
(ROW) impacts and develop a preliminary cost estimate of each option. Each
alternative analysis was based on providing a required minimum 1' elevation clearance
(freeboard) from the water elevation during the 100 yr storm event to the lowest
structural element of the bridge. Staff has received a couple informal comments from
the recreational community that they would like to see a greater vertical clearance for
rafting, kayaking, etc. This is achievable with all 5 alternatives, but has costs and ROW
impacts.

Alt 5
80' span alignment skewed to follow the creek
and reduce curvature of the roadway approach to
Bighorn Rd
$1,267,000
*Costs do not include relocation of sanitary sewer options
Alternatives 3 and 4 realign the intersection of Bridge Road with Bighorn road to more
traditional right angle "T" intersection eliminating the current reverse curve approach of
Bridge Road. This alignment would free up the area of the existing roadway for an
improved Gore Valley Trail connection or potential raft/kayak put in. This area is in an
existing 50' wide roadway easement which would require any use other than a road to
be negotiated with the property owner.
In the time since Loris and Associates completed the alternative alignment analysis, it
was discovered that an existing sanitary sewer main crosses Gore Creek between the
existing roadway asphalt and culvert structure. Previously it was thought the sanitary
sewer main crossed under the creek bed. The Eagle River Water and Sanitation
District (ERWSD) has done some preliminary engineering to analyze the feasibility of
rerouting the sewer main to tie into an existing main near the East Vail interchange
eliminating the creek crossing. Preliminary estimates for the relocation of the sewer
main are $605,000.00, not including the cost of obtaining easements. At this time the
rerouting of this line is not a priority in the needs of the overall District sanitary system.
The ERSWD is willing to contribute approximately $125,000.00 towards relocation of
the main (projected 30yr cost of operations/maintenance of existing line) if the Town
proceeds with that option.
The other option is to replace the sewer main in its existing alignment and encase the
main in a steel pipe across the creek under the bridge, similar to Pulis Bridge and Vail
Valley Drive bridge. This cost is estimated at approximately $100,000.00 and would be
borne by the bridge project. The negatives to this option are the potential for a failure of
the pipe over the creek at some point in the future, and a sewer crossing that would be
approximately 6 to 7' above the water level in late summer; thus creating a low
clearance obstacle (-2'-4') for the recreational community during higher water levels.
This low elevation clearance is not inconsistent with many other locations throughout
Town, other example bridges in Town that have low clearance from water level to
bottom of a sanitary sewer casing pipe include (date measured: 08/13/14): Pulis bridge
7' clearance, Vail Valley Drive bridge 6-6" clearance, Matterhorn bridge 7-6" clearance.
In addition to low clearances to sanitary crossings, the golf course bridges at hole 14
and 15 have clearances of 7' and 5-9" respectively from current low water elevation to
the bottom of the bridge structures.

III. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends a bridge alignment that would fall somewhere between the 60' and
80' span length keeping the new structure and roadway approaches in its current
alignment and keep the sewer main in its current location with a new casing pipe. This
would maintain the current character of the road and bridge, keep the project within
current budget, remove the hazardous culvert bridge, and provide similar creek head
height clearances for recreational users to many other bridges throughout Town.

In accordance with the RFP, we have evaluated the five (5) options for the Bridge Road Bridge
replacement project. This evaluation consisted of the following key points:
1. Perform a conceptual hydraulic evaluation to determine the approximate 100 -year water
surface elevation under proposed conditions. The low chord elevation for each option was
set to provide one (1) foot of freeboard above this hydraulic event.
2. Develop the various options based on the RFP criteria. The actual alignments and
substructure locations were modified from that of the RFP in order to best accomplish the
objective of the option under evaluation. These options are as follows:
a. Option 1 — 60' Single Span roughly on the existing alignment
b. Option 2 — 80' Singe Span roughly on the existing alignment
c. Option 3 — 80' Curved alignment within the ROW
d. Option 4 — 80' Tangent from Bighorn
e. Option 5 — 80' Skewed
* The proposed alignment is skewed approximately 10' from the existing to better
fit within the right-of-way and improve the roadway alignment.
3. For each option, the south abutment location was set roughly based on a 2:1 slope from the
existing edge of channel. The location of the north abutment was then dictated by the
structure length under consideration (generally 80').
4. Bridge typical sections were then developed to provide an economical configuration that
minimizes the structure depth and associated right-of-way impacts. Each option utilizes a
single span. For Option 3, a single span is possible with straight beams and a variable
overhang.
5. A cost estimate was then developed for each option. Unit costs were developed based on
the Matterhorn project, CDOT cost data and engineering judgment. Quantities were
developed for each option under consideration. Temporary right-of-way impact areas were
based on approximate limits of excavation that extend beyond the existing right-of-way.
Permanent impacts areas were based on the physical entities that extend beyond the right-of-
way. During the course of this exercise, we came to learn that a transportation easement
exists for the existing Bridge Road alignment, which drastically reduces the amount of right-
of-way take originally believed necessary with alternatives that utilize the existing alignment.

Please see the attached conceptual Bridge General Layout sheets and conceptual Cost Comparison
for your assistance in selecting a preferred alignment. It has become apparent through this exercise
that each option does indeed offer its own relative advantage. Options that utilize the existing
alignment are more cost effective, but may not be as desirable from a roadway geometric disposition.
It should also be noted that the options that align well to Bighorn Road also represent the greatest
amounts of fill at the north abutment, which may impede pedestrian access to Gore Creek and be
considered visually obtrusive. Each of the options incurs temporary and permanent right-of-way
impacts, although the degree of impacts varies considerably.
Given the residential location of this bridge, the low ADT versus the high pedestrian volume and
existing route of the pedestrian thoroughfare, we believe that the proposed replacement structure
match the low profile character of the existing bridge to the best extent practical. In our opinion, the
additional expense associated with aligning to Bighorn Road is neither warranted from a roadway
geometric perspective nor desirable from the perspective of pedestrians or local residents. We
therefore recommend Options 1 be selected for preliminary and final design. The exact bridge
length and profile grade will largely depend on a formal hydraulic study. It should be expected that a
longer bridge, perhaps that of Option 2 may prove necessary. It should also be noted that while only
minor temporary and permanent impacts are associated with the preferred option, it will be possible
to further reduce and perhaps eliminate all right-of-way impacts. This would involve further
modification of the alignment, the use of steepened slopes and/or temporary and permanent walls.
It has been our pleasure to be involved in the selection of the preferred replacement structure type
and alignment for complicated yet exciting project. Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions or if we can be of any further assistance.

I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this work session to request direction affirmation on approaches to
address five (5) identified elements to ensure the special character of Vail Village is not
just maintained but also enhanced through the Vail Village Master Plan. The public,
Planning and Environmental Commission, staff, and consultant have reviewed the Vail
Village Master Plan, Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, and the Vail Village Design
Considerations to address the adopted problem statement. The following problem
statement was adopted by the Vail Town Council and has guided the process,
discussion and outcomes.
As buildings in the Village continue to redevelop or as other changes occur
to the physical features of Vail Village, are the Town's current regulations,
design standards and guidelines sufficient to ensure that the special
character of Vail Village is not just maintained but also enhanced.
Five (5) elements have been identified through the public process with the community
and the Planning and Environmental Commission as needing to be addressed. Those
elements are as follows:
o Public places and spaces
o Pedestrian streets and corridors
o Iconic features
• Application boundaries of the Urban Design Guide Plan
o Possible expansion
9/2/2014
o Clarification of when a property is within the boundaries
Non -conforming properties and redevelopment potential
o Height in excess of permitted
o Dwelling units and GRFA in excess of permitted
o Site coverage in excess of permitted
o Incentive to redevelop when currently in excess of permitted
Architectural Character
o Maintaining a sense of a Vail as a special/identifiable place
o Allowing for variety
o Core verses outlining areas
Specific Design Elements of the Urban Design Guide Plan
o Retail store fronts
o Building height
o Sun/shade of outdoor spaces
o Importance of outdoor dining decks/patios
Staff has attached a power point presentation which discusses possible solutions to
address these elements (Attachment A). Staff has provided hyperlinks to the Vail Village
Master Plan and the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan under the attachments
section of this memorandum for review (Attachments B and C).
II. ACTION REQUEST OF COUNCIL
The Vail Town Council shall adopt, adopt with modifications, or reject the proposed
recommendations of the Planning and Environmental Commission.
Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendations of the Planning and
Environmental Commission to address Landmarks, Boundaries of the Urban
Design Guide Plan, Non -conforming properties and Redevelopment, Architectural
Character, and Specific Design Elements of the Urban Design Guide Plan?
If yes,
Should Town staff pursue a public process with the community to discuss the
implementation and adoption of amendments to the regulatory tools used to
carry out the Town's development objectives for Vail Village?
III. BACKGROUND
On February 18, 2009, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 23, Series of
2008, a resolution that provided for certain updates to the Vail Village Master Plan. One
of the more significant updates to the plan was the addition of an objective recognizing
the "historic" importance of architecture, structures, landmarks, plazas and features with
the goal of preserving the existing character of Vail Village. In addition, one new policy
statement was added to the plan to further the newly stated objective. The policy
Town of Vail 9/2/2014 Page 2
statement was developed to guide the Town's decision-making in achieving each of the
stated objectives, whether it be through the review of private sector development
proposals or in implementing capital improvement projects. Finally, action steps were
suggested as immediate follow-up actions necessary to implement the goals of this
Plan.
To that end, the Vail Village Master Plan was updated to include the following language:
GOAL #1 ENCOURAGE HIGH QUALITY, REDEVELOPMENT WHILE
PRESERVING UNIQUE ARCHITECTURAL SCALE OF THE VILLAGE IN
ORDER TO SUSTAIN ITS SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND IDENTITY.
1.4 Objective: (in part)
Recognize the "historic" importance of the architecture, structures,
landmarks, plazas and features in preserving the character of Vail Village.
1.4.1 Policy:
The historical importance of
other similar features shall
development review process.
structures, landmarks, plazas and
e taken into consideration in the
1.4.2 Policy:
The town should grant flexibility in the interpretation and
implementation of its regulations and design guidelines to help
protect and maintain the existing character of Vail Village.
1.4.3 Policy:
Identification of "historic" importance shall not be used as the sole
means of preventing or prohibiting development in Vail Village.
GOAL #1 Action Steps: (in part)
6. Compile a list and develop a map identifying the location of potential
structures, landmarks, plazas and other similar features that may be of
historical importance.
On October 18, 2011 the Vail Town Council discussed Vail Village Historic Preservation
and Landmark Designation. As a part of the discussion information was provided on
historic preservation, preservation programs, creation of historic districts, common
property owner concerns regarding historic designation, possible benefits of a historic
district, etc. At the public hearing the Vail town Council was asked to respond to the
following question:
Should Town staff pursue a public process with the community to discuss
preserving and protecting historic structures and landmarks in Vail Village
Town of Vail 9/2/2014 Page 3
and implementing any regulatory tools that may be necessary to carry out
the Town's development objectives?
The Vail Town Council directed staff to pursue an initiative to preserve and protect
historic structures and landmarks in Vail Village.
On November 20, 2012 the Vail Town Council was introduced to the Vail Village
Character Study that staff and Tom Braun of Braun and Associates was beginning. At
the hearing The Vail Town Council was asked to affirm "The Question at Hand"
(question provide under summary section of this memorandum). The Vail Town Council
affirmed the direction that the project would take and the question it would seek to
answer.
On February 7, 2013 several focus group sessions were conducted to obtain input and
feedback on the initiative. Staff and the consultant have placed the comments heard
from the focus groups into the following categories:
Near Unanimous Consensus
The character of the Village is important to Vail's identity, it sets Vail apart,
makes Vail unique. It is important to maintain this, to hold onto, reinforce the
original vision for the Village.
The Village is great, by and large the regulations/guidelines we have in place are
working, with only a very few exceptions the new buildings have
added/strengthened/reinforced the Village's character
The Village core is distinct from the rest of the Village, "character" is strongest in
this area.
Some variation to the literal interpretation of the "Swiss Alpine village" is OK, not
all buildings will be perfect and not all buildings need to be, an anomaly here and
there is OK.
With regard to buildings, maintaining existing scale of the Village core is critically.
There is no one single building in the Village that would rise to "landmark status"
rather it is the scale of buildings, the views, the plazas and public spaces, the
pedestrian flow, dining decks are what set the Village apart.
Iconic improvements — Covered Bridge. The Clock Tower (albeit no clear
consensus as to whether the existing clock tower is worthy of preservation or
whether having a clock tower in this location is important)
Guidelines may need a refinement here or there, but no major overhaul of
system is needed.
General sense of what is most important —
Town of Vail 9/2/2014 Page 4
1. Building scale
2. Public spaces/pedestrian flow/vitality and street life
3. Quality of design/construction/materials
4. Architecture
Widely Held Consensus
Some modest degree of additional height in Core might be acceptable (to
address floor to ceiling "expectations" of guests)
Greater building scale is acceptable outside of the Core (within reason)
Design controls (UDGP) to further reinforce the Village's establish character
should be expanded to area outside of the Core (East Village, Meadow Drive)
Street life, vitality, activity ... specifically outdoor dining decks are critical to the
character of the Village.
Some Degree of Consensus
The most important change needed to design guidelines for the Village is to allow
for/encourage the use of high quality materials (code talk for materials other than
stucco).
Guidelines need to encourage creativity/broader expression (while still respecting
"alpine" character)
More flexibility is needed with regard to window treatments (don't mandate
divided panes, allow for larger glass).
Need to resolve conflict in Guidelines that require landscaping that blocks
visibility of store fronts.
Other Pertinent Comments
When do you stop using increased levels of development as an incentive for
redevelopment?
The physical area of "the Village" is considered to extend from Vail Road to Vail
Valley Drive, maybe to Manor Vail.
Water is very important — both Gore Creek and the water features in the Village.
Every site/building is unique, has its own characteristics/considerations that will
influence review process.
Mechanical — needs to be requirement to screen.
What to do with non -conforming buildings — how will they ever have motivation to
re -develop? Lodge at Vail, Sitzmark, etc.
Town of Vail 9/2/2014 Page 5
On February 11, 2013, the Planning and Environmental Commission was introduced to
the project and the desired outcomes upon completion.
On March 11, 2013, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a work session
to begin discussion on elements of the Vail Village Master Plan, Vail Village Urban
Design Guide Plan, and the Vail Village Design Considerations which may need to be
reexamined to address the project's problem statement.
The five following topical areas of the Vail Village Master Plan and Vail Village
Urban Design Guide were discussed. The topical areas were developed through
the focus group participation, staff's, and consultant's experience and
observations. The five topics area were as follows:
Architectural Character — Vail Village was "originally conceived as a mountain
resort in the pattern of a quaint European alpine Village. Do the Town's
guidelines further this goal, what types of architectural expression, use of
materials, etc. may be appropriate while still holding true to this vision?
• The Urban Design Guide Plan and Design and Design Considerations —Where
do these guidelines currently apply, where should they apply?
Future re -development potential of properties that currently exceed allowable
height, GRFA, etc. — A number of properties in VV that currently exceed zoning
standards are considered potential candidates for redevelopment. Historically,
properties in Vail have increased in size when re -developed. How can Town
encourage re -development while at same time maintain the scale of buildings in
the Village?
• Landmark Designation — Are there improvements in the Village that warrant
designation of "landmark" status?
• Specific Elements of Urban Desian Guide Plan and Desian Considerations —
Eleven specific elements of the UDGP have been identified that may warrant
refinement/clarification.
On April 1, 2014, the Vail Town Council received and update on the progress of the
project and directed staff to move forward and complete Phase 1 of the project.
On May 12, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to
revisit the project and bring new members up to the current level of knowledge. There
was a discussion regarding the selected comparable communities and the fact that they
were not ski communities. It was explained why the comparable communities were
selected. Staff was specifically asked to speak with Carmel, California to discuss their
tools to maintain character, bulk, and mass in the commercial core. A discussion with
the planning director revealed that the primary factor limiting control development and
redevelopment was water supply. There is no additional water resource so no land use
can become more intense. Zoning regulations and a historic building inventory/registry
also provide for significant restriction and review.
Town of Vail 9/2/2014 Page 6
On July 28, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission forwarded a
recommendation of approval on specific approaches to address the five (5) elements
identified as needing to be addressed.
IV. RECOMMENDATION

adopts the recommendations to proceed forward with an effort to address five (5)
identified elements to ensure the special character of Vail Village is not just maintained
but also enhanced through the Vail Village Master Plan as an outcome of the Vail
Village Character Area Preservation initiative.
Should the Vail Town Council choose to proceed with the recommendations to continue
forward with the examination and implementation of potential amendments to the Vail
Village Master Plan, Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, and the Vail Village Design
Considerations, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the
following motion:
"The Vail Town Council adopts the recommendations of the Planning and
Environmental Commission to proceed forward with the Vail Village Character
Area Preservation initiative to examine and implement approaches to address
the five (5) identified elements to ensure the special character of Vail Village is

• Four treatments for historic sites — Preservation, Rehabilitation, Restoration and Re-
construction (re -construction is "rarely recommended").
• Explicit guidelines (site, landscape, architectural) for how landmark and historic sites
are reviewed and for new construction in historic districts.
• Extensive use of word "should" and "encouraged".

Adopted EI Pueblo Viejo Landmark District in 1960, adopted Urban Design Guidelines
for the "City Grid" in 1999.
• Historic Landmarks Commission uses landmark guidelines for review of applications
within landmark district and for landmark structures, separate design review board
uses urban design guidelines for all other projects
• "Compatibility" with adjacent properties and surrounding area is a requisite for
approval of new development.
• Guidelines articulates numerous design elements used in determining "compatibility"
• Urban design guidelines address many of same topics as Vail's UDGP — street edge,
pedestrian movement, outdoor spaces, automobiles and transit.
• Landmark guidelines address more explicitly architectural/building elements.
• Guidelines utilize "should", "encourage", "consider" far more than "shall", but at same
time Guidelines provide significant explanation of community expectations.

Goal — Preserve the scale of buildings in the Village Core while providing
some flexibility for the re -development of existing non -conforming buildings.
Next Step
• Complete inventory of existing non -conforming buildings in CCI.
• Evaluate implications of 60/40 building height percentage and 33740'
building height limit in CCI.
Recommended Approach
• Prohibit the use of SDD's to exceed allowable height limits within CCI
Zone District
• Adopt more stringent building height variance criteria in CCI Zone District
• Amend zoning to allow existing non -conforming buildings in CCI to re-
build to non -conforming level if proposed design provides improved
conditions/compliance with UDGP considerations
• Potentially address 60/40 % and 33'/40' height limit in CCI

Village apart from other places
• The "Swiss Alpine Village" creates a
strong, identifiable sense of place
• It is very important to maintain this

Contradictions in what we heard - "strengthen Village character" . . . . but

• How much variety is the right amount of variety?
• Where is variety "OK"?
• Variety to what degree?
• How do you legislate this?
Role of guidelines in the review process (narrative, graphics, prescriptive vs.

Architectural Character
What do Design Considerations of the UDGP says about architecture .....
"Vail was originally conceived as a mountain resort in the pattern of a quaint
European alpine village. It remains fairly faithful to that image today"
"These Design Considerations, and the Urban Design Plan as a whole, are
intended to guide growth and change in ways that will enhance and preserve
the essential qualities of Vail Village. This character, while inspired to a degree
by European models, has evolved into a distinctly local interpretation. Any
standards, in the end, must be based upon Vail's own unique characteristics,
and potential now.
"To preserve this character, care must be taken to avoid both new architectural
prototypes, and historical ones, local or foreign, which do not share the same
design vocabulary. These Design Considerations are a recognition that there is
a distinctive design character to the Village and that this character is important
to preserve".

Recommended Approach
Amend the UDGP Design Considerations to:
• Provide more clarity regarding the overall design goals for Vail Village . .
... what we want the Village to be, what we want to avoid.
• Address variety in architectural character — how not all buildings must
look alike, but should share a common design vocabulary.
• Address "compatibility".
• Identify the design features (i.e. roof forms, building materials, details,
etc.), deemed critical to furthering Vail's desired design character.
• Expand on specific Design Considerations as may be necessary.

Below is from the Lionshead Re -development Master Plan:
Miscellaneous Equipment
All miscellaneous rooftop equipment, including roof vents, antennas and
satellite dishes, shall be painted to blend with the roofs to which they relate.
Major pieces of equipment on commercial buildings shall be strategically
located to conceal them from view, or hidden in cupolas or other structures—exposed
equipment is not permitted. All flashings shall be copper or painted metal to match
those found on exterior walls. The intent of these provisions is to present a well -
blended roofscape throughout the community, as seen from the public spaces as well
as from the mountain.

Re: July Sales Tax
I estimate Vail will collect another $70,000 in July sales tax to bring
collections to $1,813,290. If so, July will be up 14.2% or $225,962 from budget
and up 9.6% or $159,129 from July 2013. Year to date increases 8.4% or
$1,206,742 from 2013 and 7% or $1,016,907 from budget.
