He departed the hearing. George Ruther, Director of Community Development introduced the project and discussed how the public hearing is anticipated to progress. Ruther spoke to the possible outcomes of the hearing and how the actions would be recommendations to the Town Council. Ruther spoke to the next steps in the review process of the Master Plan and Land Use Plan Amendments with the Town Council. Ruther also spoke to the purpose and duration of the Master Plan (5 -7 years). Warren Campbell spoke to the outcomes of the meeting and the motions included in the staff report. Campbell spoke to the two separate motions needed for Resolutions Nos. 3 and 4, Series of 2015. Campbell spoke to the staff report and its components. Campbell spoke to three elements that make this master plan more specific than other master plans the PEC may be more familiar with. Campbell walked the PEC through the different sections of the staff report including the background, applicable planning documents, criteria and recommended motions. Campbell proceeded to walk through the more substantive recommend changes to the Master Plan, bypassing issues of grammar and /or layout. Implications of a land swap between VVMC and the Evergreen property were spoken to. Traffic and transit implications for the frontage road in addition to the regulatory and other requirements of the helipad were discussed. Other topics such as employee housing and covenant restrictions were broached. PQk2015 Campbell discussed the documents included in the evaluation of the VVMC MP such as, the Vail Land Use Plan, Vail Transportation Master Plan and the Vail Town Code. Campbell discussed the general and specific goals of the Zoning Code and the General Use Zoning designation. Campbell discussed how the master plan supports and furthers the goals and recommendations of these guiding documents. Lot 10, owned by the TOV, was discussed. Criteria for the proposed amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan were spoken to. An explanation of the attachments was provided. Special attention to the ideas and issues included in a memorandum from the VVHA were put forth. Commissioner Kurz mentioned that among the attachments was a document in support of the VVMC MP from the Vail Valley Partnership Board of Directors. Commissioner Martin asked a question concerning the number and range of loading and delivery bays included within the VVMC MP text. Campbell stated that staff was comfortable with the range provide at this stage of review and inclusion in the Master Plan. Doris Kirschner, CEO of VVMC, introduced the team representing the hospital. Kirschner spoke to the primary drivers of the Master Plan including the helipad and the process up to this point. The need to compromise between the needs of the hospital and the wants of the neighbors and the town was presented Tom Braun, representing the VVMC, presented a recap of the previous meetings before the Commission. Braun proceeded through a discussion of the 13 points raised by the town at the start of the process and how the Master Plan addressed each identified point. The proposed Vail Land Use Plan amendments were spoken of. Tom spoke to the different consultants that were present to assist on a number of topics Skip Hudson, TurnKey Consultants, presented the methodology that was used for evaluating traffic generation. Both interim and build out conditions were presented. Hudson provided details of interim solution to address traffic needs and a build out condition including a roundabout with right in /right out accesses was also presented. An analysis of the West Meadow Drive and Vail Road intersection during construction was presented in addition to an analysis of loading and delivery vehicles on West Meadow Drive. Dr. Reg Franciose spoke to the existing and proposed conditions related to the emergency helipad and the services it provides. The two issues of timing and patient mobility were presented. The challenges presented by a tunnel alternative were provided. Rex Alexander, with Heli Experts, discussed the proposed approach and departure paths. Alexander explained that the proposed path has changed to align with 1 -70 rather than the Frontage Road. He then discussed how the proposed elevated helipad would impact the development potential of adjacent properties. With a 75 foot high heliport, there would be no impacts to the Evergreen property (with the exception of architectural projections). The municipal site would be limited to an approximate 68 foot height limit for a potential development. Alexander then discussed the process of approvals with FAA — that there is 18 month window for completion of construction after their initial sign -off on the design. Casey Batterson, pilot with emergency helicopter operator, spoke to the pilots' perspective. High altitude flight was born in Colorado. Safety is paramount. Any one person on the flight crew of 4 can call off a flight if it is felt to be too dangerous. He then spoke to the differences between landing on- ground and on an elevated platform. An elevated helipad offers more advantages — pQ�%2015 better flight capabilities, security, safety, lift, etc. He also mentioned the planned on -site weather station, which offers additional safety advantages. Braun then spoke to the community's objectives, reiterating some of the points previous speakers made. He discussed loading and delivery and the other issues effecting uses on Meadow Drive in more detail. Braun mentioned the massing concerns associated with an addition to VVMC. A potential pedestrian way was also discussed, as was stream health issues with Middle Creek. Frontage Road access will be right in, right out only in most cases as a result of the proposed roundabout design. Lot 10 was also discussed, as was the potential land exchange. Commissioner Hopkins asked for details on how mechanical equipment will be handled. Braun spoke to the creation of central utility plant interior to the structure, relocation of the emergency generator and the use of a parapet wall and other screening techniques to be used for roof top mechanicals. Commissioner Kurz spoke to the changes in the relocation of the helipad and that noise mitigation should be incorporated into the plan. Commissioner Rediker asked if the applicant had any objections to Community Development's recommendations within the memo. Braun stated that relocating loading and delivery to the Frontage Road was still objectionable. Commissioner Pratt asked Mr. Hudson how the proposed Frontage Road improvements would affect traffic flow and the methodology used. Hudson explained that while approximately 1400 trips would be relocated to the Frontage Road from West Meadow Drive, there was fundamentally no new trips placed upon the Main Vail Roundabout as the traffic for the hospital today (coming from the interstate) uses half the roundabout coming and half the roundabout leaving. In the future, if improvements were implemented as discussed traffic would use one quarter coming and three - quarter of the roundabout leaving. Pratt then asked why helicopters today perform a spiraling maneuver before landing and after take off. Batterson stated he was unsure why a helicopter pilot would spiral up and down to utilize the emergency helipad. He suggested it may have had something to do with wind patterns at the time he witnessed that action. He further suggested it was more likely a circling of the site to perform a ground check observation to make sure conditions were unchanged from the known and that it was safe to land. Pratt asked for a response to the Canadian helicopter expert cited in Mr. Brown's provided email. Alexander responded that Canada has a much different set of rules and that helicopter service is established as a public service (not privatized) with limited resources. He explained that Canada has approximately 19 emergency helicopters operating in the entire country and there are over 900 operating in the United States. He spoke to the fact that helicopters can absolutely operate at elevations above 8,000 feet of elevation, based upon experience and knowledge. Emergency helicopter operations have not been included on the NTSB's top 10 most wanted safety improvement list for the past 2 years. The safe operation of emergency helicopters has only PQ�2015 improved over the decades. He too spoke to the need to perform a high level reconnaissance of the landing site before landing as a potential explanation of the flight patterns witnessed by Pratt. Dr. Franciose also addressed the claims made within the letter. The United States is at an advantage with its number of assets. He spoke to the National Trauma Database and the statistics capture there in terms of the decisions made and reviewed to ensure the greatest chances for survival of patients. Ray Stanton, RES, town's helicopter consultant, wanted to clarify for the record that there are 20 emergency helicopters operating in Canada and 1,020 operating in the United States based upon his last inspection of the registry list. The number of assets the United State has in service results in increased survival statistics as there are assets closer to the need and available when needed. Public Comment: Ed Swinford, resident of Bachelor Gulch, spoke about his experience with Flight for Life as a patient of the VVMC when he had a medical event. He spoke to the fact that the time the emergency helicopter saved in getting him to Denver saved his life. As a real estate agent in the valley, he spoke to the fact that he gets many questions from prospective buyers regarding the level of medical care that can be provided in the within the valley. VVMC and the emergency helipad are important. Gwen Scalpello, resident of 9 Vail Road, said she was wrestling with the data included in the traffic reports and that mentioned in the presentation. She questions if there would be vehicular access to the west parking lot as there was a driveway in that location. She spoke to a concern with regard to the increased traffic on West meadow Drive during the interim construction scenario which had traffic for the US Bank building accessing their parking structure from the south. Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, spoke to the process and his appreciation of the efforts put forth thus far. He spoke to his belief that our culture (American) is more confrontational when it should be more collaborative. The VVMC has taken on the hard task of developing a master plan and Doris Kirschner has done a great job of nurturing this effort. He mentioned some of his organization's primary concerns — loading and delivery, helipad, etc. He felt what is missing is the option to keep the discussion open within the master plan for some of these issues (loading and delivery and emergency helipad). Lamont thought there was a lack of commitment to other issues, such as the potential round - about, and the operations management plan for loading and delivery. Lamont spoke to a desire to see a refocus from economic development to qualitative infrastructural improvements, such as heated sidewalks, park /playground (take cues from library), noise decreases, etc. He stated the neighborhood would like non - adversarial conversations with the hospital concerning quality of life issues for neighbors. Discussed mechanical equipment being planned within the project and the need to be neighborly (noise impacts). Suggested a need to heat the sidewalks along the West Meadow Drive frontage to ensure safe conditions for patients receiving services at the hospital. Spoke to a need to have appropriate landscape and open space buffers to break up what cold be a large monolithic building. Lamont spoke briefly to the municipal site and its possible use for public parking in the future. In the event the municipal site is utilized for skier parking in the future there needs to be a method to get users safely across the Frontage Road via either a bridge or tunnel. Stated that changes to the transportation strategy for the Frontage Road , including the implementation of roundabouts and restricted turning movements at access points are necessary. pQOJ2015 Joe Stauffer spoke to the history of the hospital. He stated he is a member of the Vail Homeowners Association and that he and many other members support the hospital plan. The impression should not be that the VHA is in opposition. Emergency vehicle sirens can be a nuisance, but when they are coming for you they are a positive. He spoke to the fact that his granddaughter is alive today because of the emergency helicopter service provide by the VVMC. Supports the hospital and its mission and recommends the commission pass on a recommendation of approval. Mark Herron, manager of the Four Seasons, spoke to their support of the hospital and the Master Plan. Provided a story concerning one of his employees and the importance of the emergency helicopter service. He stated that an emergency helipad is a necessary component of a modern resort community. Spoke to how the movement of vehicles to the frontage road may have adverse impacts on the operation of the Four Seasons but to make this work it is acceptable. He concluded by stating that the Four Seasons guests value the resource. [10 minute break] Braun introduced Mr. Hudson to address comments regarding the traffic solutions for the Frontage Road and the numbers contained within the reports. Hudson spoke to the need to reroute traffic utilizing the US Bank Building parking lot temporarily during the construction of the East Wings. Explained how the proposed roundabout solution could not occur until the emergency helipad was relocated to the VVMC site. He suggested that could be as soon as 2019. He explained that the studies spoke to 1,400 trips which is equal to 700 vehicles. A trip is a vehicle coming and going. Braun spoke to several revisions to the 25 proposed staff recommendations for modifications to the Master Plan. Staff acknowledged their acceptance of the proposed amendments to its recommended modifications to the Master Plan. Commissioner Kurz spoke to the challenges of parking. Ruther spoke to the requirements of the General Use District and the role of the Commission in establishing the parking requirement for the development through the review process. Commissioner Rediker requested clarification concerning the development potential which would result in conjunction with a land exchange, specifically related to covenants and infill expansion. Braun agreed that in general most things remain unchanged if the land exchange were to occur. Spoke to the concepts that may be available with the exchange and a change to the covenants. He identified Figure 19 in the Master Plan as a graphic example of what additional development would become available as a result of amended covenants. Commissioner Rediker asked Campbell about the language in the Master Plan (page 30) concerning building height limitations as a result of the emergency helipad take off and approach routes. Campbell cited the presentation given earlier in the hearing by Mr. Alexander which contained and exhibit showing height on the municipal site as being limited to approximately 68 feet. Ruther added that the emergency helipad would be reviewed as a conditional use permit and would have to demonstrate their impacts on adjacent properties, as outlined in the Master Plan. pQW015 Commissioner Rediker asked if the Town is concerned about the expert opinions with regard to the recommended emergency helipad location and the ability to dispute these findings in the future, if it is necessary. Ruther responded that additional information during the conditional use permit review will be required to analyze the specific proposal against the assumptions in the Master Plan. Commissioner Rediker asked about the fact that the reports included in the appendices were commissioned by the applicant and if that should be noted in the Master Plan. Ruther stated that town staff and specialized consultants (traffic and helicopter) have been reviewing the submitted studies. The following additional comments on the proposed Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan were shared by the individual Commission members. It was decided by the Commissioner members that these individual comments should be shared with the Vail Town Council even though a majority decision on the comments could not be reached by the Commission as a whole. Commissioner Hopkins • Expressed her support for the master plan and VVMC. • Expressed support for the town's Art in Public Places and shared the importance outdoor park or playground on or near the campus site. Lot 10 was cited as a possible location. • Suggested the potential to incorporate something like a "healing garden" as a refuge for patients and visitors to the campus. • Cited a concern with the potential noise impacts associated with the hospital (mechanical and helicopter). • Cited a need to review each conditional use permit application to ensure adequate setbacks and appropriate bulk and scale. • Referenced a photograph shown at an early hearing in the review process showing hardscape on East Meadow Drive up to the building facades. She stated that it would not be appropriate to have this condition repeated with regard to the VVMC redevelopment. Commissioner Kurz • Expressed his support for the Plan but noted a couple of issues where the Master Plan may be deficient because of the challenge in attempting to balance issues to be addressed at the master plan level verses during the review of the conditional use permit application. • He noted that issues /concerns such as quality of life, quality of experience and improving this verdant area of town will need to be addressed at the conditional use permit level. • The result of the conditional use permit process will be to continually make things better as the project moves forward. • Spoke to this area being highly urbanized and the need for the redevelopment to minimize negative impacts. • Shared Hopkin's belief that public art needs to be incorporated into the redevelopment and reviewed during the development review process. Commissioner Rediker • Expressed his support for the plan and the work that has gone into it over the past 9 months. pQkN2015 Cited the first paragraph of the right column on page 24 and the need to clarify that the ten alternative designs and locations for a roundabout were reviewed and vetted by staff and the applicant and not discussed by the Commission. Cited the first paragraph of the right column on page 29 and the need to correctly identify the date of the HeliExperts study included within the appendices as January 15, 2015 Cited the fifth whereas statement of Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, and the need to make the following change: o WHEREAS, the relocation of the emergency helipad to an on -site location has been thoroughly reviewed by qualified experts and has beeR fGYRd to those experts believe the emergency helipad meets or exceeds the prescribed FAA regulations and meets the long term emergency helipad needs of the community; and Commissioner Martin • Expressed his support for the Plan and thanked the public for their thoughtful and meaningful input and thanked the VVMC for their work effort taking into consideration the town's, the public's and the Planning Commission's concerns on the master plan. • Cited the importance that the required parking per the Town Code needed to be in compliance upon the completion of the East Wing Expansion. • Cited the importance of re- visiting the amendment noting the potential to relocate the loading facilities from Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road, should the land exchange move forward because with the implementation of the Facilities Management Plan and the role /responsibility of the Deliver Facility Manager outlined in Chapter 5, there may be an opportunity to make this happen. • Cited the importance of the last amendment relating to the need for an Environmental Impact Report with the submittal of the CUP application. Commissioner Pratt • Expressed his appreciation to the applicant for their hard work and efforts to respond to the concerns of the Commission. • Cited a desire to amend the language under the heading of Architecture to strike the reference that "the new architecture character should be consistent with the 2001 Central Wing architecture ". He believed the language should be amended to state "that Vail Alpine architecture was appropriate moving forward". There was informal agreement amongst the Commission regarding this concern but it was felt it did not rise to the level of being included in the Master Plan. • Cited the first sentence of the first paragraph of the left column on Page 21 and a desire to change the word "should" to "may' or "could" with regard to the possibility of loading and delivery continuing to gain access to the site off of West Meadow Drive. • Cited a concern with the language on Page 22 speaking to the traffic improvements anticipated for the South Frontage Road. Specifically, a concern with the statement identifying that many access points would become right in /right out turning movements. He felt that this would be a confusing movement for people unfamiliar with Vail as the idea of turning right to go left was counter intuitive. He was not comfortable including this solution in the plan as it would preclude other solutions from being studied. He felt that the addition of several hundred cars into the Main Vail Roundabout in the afternoon peak would only negatively impact and already busy roundabout. • Expressed regret that a solution other than a +/- 75 -foot tall building with a flat roof for the emergency helipad could not be identified. He understood the necessity for the height based upon adjacent allowable height limits. Spoke to the fact that the Evergreen Lodge could include architectural projections in their design which might necessitate the emergency helipad being even higher. Expressed concern that the structure would be at Pacep�/(?015 a zero setback and be directly at the end of a straight portion of the South Frontage Road and highly visible. Added that plans to step the massing of the building may not make it better, but might make it look larger. Ruther asked for clarifications from the Commission on how they would like to craft their recommendation. Commissioner Kurz offered his opinion that the individual comments will stand on their own and the proposed modifications will stand as agreed upon. Braun spoke to a concern with regard to Pratt's comment regarding architecture and the direction it should take moving forward Ruther explained that the 2001 hospital Central Wing addition was reviewed against the town's adopted design standards and regulations. If it was felt that a different architectural design direction was needed the Commission should include that within the Master Plan. Discussion continued regarding the architecture theme started by the existing Central Wing. Pratt recommended that the discussion be forwarded as commentary to the Town Council. Discussion continued on any changes to the document required vs. commentary to be forwarded to the Town Council. 5. Information Update None 6.

EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK VAIL- BRIDGE RD Bridge Road over the Gore Creek Scope of Work The Town of Vail plans to remove and replace the Vail- Bridge Road Bridge, which is located within the Town limits of the Town of Vail, Eagle County. VAIL- BRIDGE RD is a 39' -0" long by 33' -10" wide bridge comprised of 3 corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culverts (12' X 7' elliptical pipe) set in concrete and covered with 2' of fill. This bridge has a classification of "Structurally Deficient" with a sufficiency rating of 69.9. This structure has been closed to the traveling public numerous times in the past due to high water overtopping the roadway. The latest closure was during May 2010. A single span bridge is the preferred option to replace the CMP bridge to increase the hydraulic capacity and reduce the risk of high water overtopping the structure, thus improving public safety. The total bridge replacement would consist of removing the existing pipe and concrete structure and replacing it with a simple span bridge. The anticipated bridge is a single span bridge approximately 70' long by 35' wide, out -to -out. The new structure will be two lanes like the current with at grade shoulders for pedestrian /bicycle. The proposed structure currently is anticipated to be a concrete slab and girder bridge type. Construction is scheduled to occur in the late summer /fall of 2016. No permanent easements are anticipated; however temporary construction easements will be required to complete the project. The project includes design and construction.

Required by 23 CFR 635.112 Exhibit F213IQI51 of 1 34. EXHIBIT G — DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SECTION 1. Policy. It is the policy of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that disadvantaged business enterprises shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 26. Consequently, the 49 CFR Part IE DBE requirements the Colorado Department of Transportation DBE Program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) apply to this agreement. SECTION 2. DBE Obligation. The recipient or its the Local Agency agrees to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises as determined by the Office of Certification at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard, all participants or contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with the CDOT DBE program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. Recipients and their contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of CDOT assisted contracts. SECTION 3 DBE Program. The Local Agency (sub- recipient) shall be responsible for obtaining the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program of the Colorado Department of Transportation, 1988, as amended, and shall comply with the applicable provisions of the program.

EXHIBIT H — LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL -AID PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services ". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24 -30 -1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short -hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24 -30 -1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24 -30 -1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of 10% for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24- 30 -1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre - qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short -list and to make a final selection. The short -list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the Work, c. Ability to furnish professional services. 2/3/2015 d. Anticipated design concepts, and e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, e. Current and projected work load, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre - negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three years after the case has been settled. CRS § §24 -30 -1401 through 24 -30 -1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps. 2/3/2015 EXHIBIT I - FEDERAL -AID CONTRACT PROVISIONS REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FEDERAL -AID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS General !I Nondiscrimination III.

COMMENTS The following additional comments on the proposed Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan were shared by the individual Commission members. It was decided by the Commissioner members that these individual comments should be shared with the Vail Town Council even though a majority decision on the comments could not be reached by the Commission as a whole. Commissioner Hopkins • Expressed her support for the master plan and VVMC. • Expressed support for the town's Art in Public Places and shared the importance outdoor park or playground on or near the campus site. Lot 10 was cited as a possible location. • Suggested the potential to incorporate something like a "healing garden" as a refuge for patients and visitors to the campus. • Cited a concern with the potential noise impacts associated with the hospital (mechanical and helicopter). • Cited a need to review each conditional use permit application to ensure adequate setbacks and appropriate bulk and scale. • Referenced a photograph shown at an early hearing in the review process showing hardscape on East Meadow Drive up to the building facades. She stated that it would not be appropriate to have this condition repeated with regard to the VVMC redevelopment. Commissioner Kurz • Expressed his support for the Plan but noted a couple of issues where the Master Plan may be deficient because of the challenge in attempting to balance issues to be addressed at the master plan level verses during the review of the conditional use permit application. • He noted that issues /concerns such as quality of life, quality of experience and improving this verdant area of town will need to be addressed at the conditional use permit level. • The result of the conditional use permit process will be to continually make things better as the project moves forward. • Spoke to this area being highly urbanized and the need for the redevelopment to minimize negative impacts. • Shared Hopkin's belief that public art needs to be incorporated into the redevelopment and reviewed during the development review process. Commissioner Rediker • Expressed his support for the plan and the work that has gone into it over the past 9 months. • Cited the fifth whereas statement of Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, and the need to make the following change: Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 5 o WHEREAS, the relocation of the emergency helipad to an on -site location has been thoroughly reviewed by qualified experts and 4as those experts believe the emergency helipad meets or exceeds the prescribed FAA regulations and meets the long term emergency helipad needs of the community; and Commissioner Martin Expressed his support for the Plan and thanked the public for their thoughtful and meaningful input and thanked the VVMC for their -werk effort taking into consideration the town's, the public's and the Planning Commission's concerns on the master plan. Cited the importance that the required parking per the Town Code needed to be in compliance upon the completion of the East Wing Expansion. Cited the importance of re- visiting the amendment noting the potential to relocate the loading facilities from Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road, should the land exchange move forward because with the implementation of the Facilities Management Plan and the role /responsibility of the Deliver Facility Manager outlined in Chapter 5, there may be an opportunity to make this happen. Cited the importance of the last amendment relating to the need for an Environmental Impact Report with the submittal of the CUP application. Commissioner Pratt • Expressed his appreciation to the applicant for their hard work and efforts to respond to the concerns of the Commission. • Cited a desire to amend the language under the heading of Architecture to strike the reference that "the new architecture character should be consistent with the 2001 Central Wing architecture ". He believed the language should be amended to state "that Vail Alpine architecture was appropriate moving forward'. There was informal agreement amongst the Commission regarding this concern but it was felt it did not rise to the level of being included in the Master Plan. • Cited the first sentence of the first paragraph of the left column on Page 21 and a desire to change the word "should" to "may' or "could" with regard to the possibility of loading and delivery continuing to gain access to the site off of West Meadow Drive. • Cited a concern with the language on Page 22 speaking to the traffic improvements anticipated for the South Frontage Road. Specifically, a concern with the statement identifying that many access points would become right in /right out turning movements. He felt that this would be a confusing movement for people unfamiliar with Vail as the idea of turning right to go left was counter intuitive. He was not comfortable including this solution in the plan as it would preclude other solutions from being studied. He felt that the addition of several hundred cars into the Main Vail Roundabout in the afternoon peak would only negatively impact an already busy roundabout. • Expressed regret that a solution other than a +/- 75 -foot tall building with a flat roof for the emergency helipad could not be identified. He understood the necessity for the height based upon adjacent allowable height limits. He spoke to the fact that the Evergreen Lodge could include architectural Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 6 projections in their design which might necessitate the emergency helipad being even higher and expressed concern that the structure would be at a zero setback and be directly at the end of a straight portion of the South Frontage Road and highly visible. Adding that plans to step the massing of the building may not make it better, but might make it look larger.

INTRODUCTION Since its establishment in 1965, Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC) has grown into one of the world's most advanced mountain hospitals, providing Olympic - quality sports medicine, leading evidence -based research, modern cancer care and extensive cardiology capabilities. While the medical care and services provided by VVMC are outstanding, the hospital's infrastructure is due for modernization. VVMC is at an age and condition where it must be modernized to meet the challenges of modern medicine and to ensure the facility provides medical staff with the resources necessary to offer the utmost in quality health care. The Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan (the Master Plan or the Plan) establishes a vision for how VVMC will respond to these challenges and in doing so addresses a multitude of operational, clinical, and technical requirements that are not being met by the existing facility. In addition, an equally important element of the Master Plan is how it addresses important neighborhood and community goals. Lionshead Master Plan : Study Area The Master Plan provides a general direction and framework for how VVMC will redevelop in the future. It has been prepared with extensive input from physicians and staff, neighbors, the community at large, review boards and Town of Vail staff. Information provided herein is intended to demonstrate how future expansions will integrate with existing VVMC functions and the surrounding neighborhood and how, at a general level expansion plans will conform to applicable Town development standards. Bordered on the west by the Lionshead Master Redevelopment Plan and on the east by the Vail Village Master Plan, the VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan will provide direction for a key community- oriented property located mid -way between Vail's two villages. The Master Plan has been prepared with a focus on addressing both internal and external goals or "drivers ". Internal goals generally address the viability and sustainability of the campus, VVMC's goal of providing quality health care to the community VVMC Master Plan Study Area Vail Streetscape Master Plan Study Area Vail Village Master Plan Study Area VVMC MaAef MR V4 i Fig.1 - The VVMC Master Plan area is strategically located between the Lionshead and Vail Village Master Plan areas. January 2015 2/3/2015 111 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 1. INTRODUCTION and the specific operational and clinical requirements of the campus. External goals generally address how VVMC responds to broader neighborhood and community considerations. It is often the case that internal and external goals overlap. Internal and external goals are discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3 of this plan. The underlying role of this Master Plan is to establish expectations for the planned redevelopment of VVMC and in doing so provide a basis for the Town's review of future development proposals. While information provided in this Master Plan is fairly general in nature, the Master Plan does establish many specific parameters for the future expansion of VVMC. Far more detailed information on the design, operation and management of future hospital development will be provided during subsequent steps in the Town's development review process. Detailed design and operational plans for hospital expansions that are deemed to conform to applicable elements of this Master Plan will have a greater expectation of project approvals than those that do not. The Master Plan will be used by the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC), the Design Review Board and the Town Council when reviewing future VVMC expansion plans. A pivotal step in the Town's review process will be the PEC review of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) applications. This Master Plan establishes parameters on a variety of development related considerations. Foremost among them are project design, parking, delivery and service, traffic, and the emergency helipad. As such, this Master Plan is the primary tool to be used by the Town in evaluating the merits of future expansion plans. In addition to this Master Plan, the Town's development standards, zoning considerations and CUP review criteria will also be considered in the review of expansion plans. The Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan has been adopted as an element of the Vail Land Use Plan by Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, following a recommendation from the PEC. The Plan has been prepared to provide guidance specific to the planned expansion of the campus. As such the effective life of this Master Plan is five to seven years. It is likely that after completion of this expansion that medical technologies or practices will evolve, the need for new facilities will be identified or new ideas not addressed by this Plan will arise. Amendments shall be considered in accordance with the Amendment Process as outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan. Factors to consider in any amendment proposal include: 1. How conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted, 2. How the Plan is in error, or 3. How the addition, deletion or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general The area governed by this Master Plan is depicted on Figure 2 below. ,?IDA - Fig. 2 - VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan Study Area. January 2015 2/3/2015 121 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 2. BACKGROUND ON VVMC EVOLUTION OF VVMC VVMC began as a clinic in 1965 to support a then fledgling ski resort and since that time has grown at a level commensurate with Vail and surrounding communities. Today, VVMC is comprised of several healthcare campuses located throughout Eagle County and provides healthcare services to both residents and visitors of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado. VVMC's main hospital campus, located in the Town of Vail, provides an essential service to the Vail community and the surrounding region. VVMC has grown into a major economic driver in Vail and Eagle County, helping to diversify and balance an otherwise highly seasonal economy. With more than 850 employees, VVMC is the second largest employer in Eagle County. This consideration alone has a very significant economic impact throughout the community. As documented by two studies, VVMC and its partners who practice at the Vail Campus have a direct economic impact to Vail. A Vail Valley Medical Center Economic Impact Analysis was completed by BBC Research and Consulting in 2009. The direct annual economic impact of VVMC- related spending in Vail was over $5 million, which included retail and restaurant spending by employees, employee- residents, patients and their families. This report identified other notable benefits of VVMC beyond direct economic stimulation. Foremost among these is the high - quality healthcare being provided in a rural, resort area, giving Vail and Eagle County a competitive marketing advantage over other mountain communities, including real estate sales implications. In April of 2010, BBC Research and Consulting completed an Economic Impact of The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute on the Town of Vail. Operations of the Clinic and Institute generate over $25 million annually to Town of Vail businesses. VVMC, the Steadman Clinic and Institute have a direct economic impact of more than $30 million annually. This is in addition to the annual on -site economic activity at VVMC. The majority of this economic activity throughout Vail is from the large number of "destination patients" drawn to Vail by the Steadman Clinic. In 2009 the Clinic served 10,500 patients. 4,600 of these patients involved surgeries, of which nearly 3,000 were destination patients. On average these patients made three trips to Vail, brought 2.25 people and stayed 4 days, equating to over 80,000 visitor nights in lodging properties. Spending on lodging, meals and retail from these visitors represent a significant portion of the Town of Vail economic activity generated by The Steadman Clinic and Institute. The building that housed the original Vail Clinic still exists at the southeast corner of the campus and is one of the various wings of the hospital that no longer meet contemporary healthcare requirements. Since the original clinic was constructed the following expansions have occurred: • A 1971 addition to house support services • A 1978 addition that houses the current Emergency and Imaging Departments • The 1987 West Wing, which was subsequently expanded in 1990, and accommodates the Patient Care Unit, Intensive Care Unit, and the main VVMC Surgery Department • A 2001 two -story addition to the central wing of the hospital, which included a replacement of the Women & Children's Center, and construction of Vail Valley Surgery January 2015 2/3/2015 131 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 2. BACKGROUND ON THE VVMC Center (VVSC), and The Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI) • In 2005, VVMC acquired the US Bank Building and since that time has been converting it to a medical office and administrative support facility for VVMC EXISTING BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES VVMC is an aging facility. Other than the Women & Children's Center and Vail Valley Surgery Center (13 years old), all other buildings within the campus are at least 24 years old, with some areas nearly 45 years old. There are many implications from the condition of these older buildings: • The buildings' basic mechanical and electrical systems are nearing the end of their useful life, requiring higher levels of maintenance and uncertainty in service. • In many areas of the hospital existing spaces no longer support the most efficient and appropriate setting for patient care. This is largely a result of the evolution in healthcare from a traditional inpatient type of delivery, to more outpatient procedures. This evolution has created the need for different types of medical facilities that are difficult to achieve in older buildings. • Over time, new services and facilities have been added wherever the hospital can find space, sometimes causing disjointed functional relationships between types of services and patient's access to them. • Higher levels of care require additional staff, medical equipment, and supplies. All of these factors have created extremely cramped conditions throughout the hospital. Over the past ten years VVMC has undergone a series of studies to determine the best long -term use and configuration of its Vail campus. Although one of the earlier studies had suggested that VVMC consider relocating most of its acute care functions to a new site in Eagle County, the VVMC Board of Directors has concluded that the main hospital must remain in Vail. The Vail Town Council has also strongly stated their support for VVMC to remain in Vail. This Master Plan was, in part, initiated to address sweeping changes in the healthcare industry, but also to ensure that VVMC remain in Vail, with a sustainable strategy to meet the long -term needs of the community. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS AND SURROUNDING USES VVMC is located on three parcels of land that total 4.57 acres. The site is bordered on the north by South Frontage Road and on the south by West Meadow Drive. VVMC is located in the center of a transitional area between Vail Village and Lionshead. Existing land uses surrounding VVMC are depicted on Figure 3 found on the following page. Vehicular access to VVMC is provided by South Frontage Road and West Meadow Drive. South Frontage Road provides access to an employee parking structure located at the northeast corner of the campus and to the US Bank building. West Meadow Drive provides access to patient and guest parking at the west end of the campus and to loading /service facilities located at the southeast corner of the campus. Regional bus service is provided along South Frontage Road and Town of Vail bus service is provided along West Meadow Drive. West Meadow Drive also provides an important pedestrian connection between Vail Village and Lionshead. January 2015 2/3/2015 141 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 2.

January 2015 2/3/2015 161 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan IL a I MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND MASTER PLAN GOALS ` I THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS VVMC has spent nearly two years developing a master plan for the Vail campus. This process involved extensive collaboration with their consulting team, staff, the VVMC Advisory Commit- tee, the Executive Team and Board members. The Vail com- munity and Town of Vail staff were also involved in this planning process. Master planning for a medical center is unique to other land development master planning processes. A master planning effort for a hotel or commercial development may typically involve defining the potential "building envelope" of a site and then working to "fill the envelope" with buildings. Master plan- ning for Vail's hospital was based on a strategic, "inside -out" approach, rather than "outside -in." This is defined as a method for determining the real operational needs of the hospital, and then responding to those needs with the physical plan. An underlying theme for the expansion plans envisioned for VVMC is the "decompression" of spaces — to provide larger or more efficient spaces for medical services that are designed specifi- cally to improve healthcare services (as opposed to increasing capacities of such spaces). Another major influence in the master planning process that is unique to medical centers, and specifically to VVMC, is sequenc- ing of construction. It is essential that construction can be sequenced without disrupting on -going patient care. For exam- ple, because the western -most portions of the campus include the most serviceable buildings, these areas will be expanded in initial construction and the older buildings on the east side of the campus will be addressed after west wing improvements are completed. The Master Plan process was organized and executed in five major stages: 1. Project initiation, confirm goals, drivers, and LEAN Process improvement 2. Analysis of existing facilities, site issues, and operations 3. Develop Master Plan level space requirements/ projections 4. Develop conceptual Master Plan alternatives 5. Finalize the Master Plan and define a road map for future implementation.

MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND MASTER PLAN GOALS MASTER PLAN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES A key step in Stage 1 was identifying the major goals and objec- tives for the project. This was accomplished through collabora- tive work sessions with the entire planning team. The goals and objectives addressed internal, external, operational and eco- nomic considerations, and were prioritized and categorized in the following areas: 1. Site Planning Major changes to the layout and design of VVMC, including, but not limited to, a new main entrance and a new Emergency Department, improving loading facilities, expanding parking and consideration of the helipad location were addressed in this category. 2. Functional /Organizational These goals and objectives primarily addressed internal considerations and identified a number of improvements to the organization and overall efficiency of the campus. Master Planning This focus of goals and objectives was to ensure that the Master Plan included flexibility to respond to future conditions and implementation strategies. 4. Economic Sustainability, operational costs, long -term maintenance and energy costs and implementation strategies were some of the internal goals and objectives addressed in this category. Each of these four categories included five or more statements that articulated specific goals to be addressed in the Master Plan. At the conclusion of this process the following ten goals were identified as the primary goals and objectives to be addressed in the future expansion plan of VVMC: • Relocate the main entrance to VVMC to South Frontage Road • Modify service vehicle access to a concealed loading zone • Relocate Emergency Department and ambulance traffic to South Frontage Road • Relocate helipad with direct connection to Emergency Department, and with sensitivity to neighbors • Provide adequate and convenient parking for patients, visitors and staff • Improve operational efficiencies through proper sizing and adjacencies • Accommodate patients in the most appropriate setting (and with privacy) • Optimize access and way- finding for patients and visitors • Create a flexible framework to accommodate future unforeseen changes • Accommodate appropriate medical office space on campus While most of the goals and objectives identified above are inter- nal to how VVMC operates, a number of critical external consid- erations were also identified during the master planning process. Many of these same external considerations were identified by Town of Vail staff as "issues or considerations" to be addressed during the master planning process. January 2015 2/3/2015 181 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 3. MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND MASTER PLAN GOALS Town of Vail identified the following 13 development objectives to be addressed in the VVMC Master Plan: 1. Helipad /emergency air service to the hospital site. 2. On -site loading and delivery facilities 3. Ambulance access to and from the site. 4. Vehicle access that uses South Frontage Road for primary access. 5. Minimize vehicle trips on West Meadow Drive 6. North /south pedestrian circulation through the site. 7. Middle Creek riparian corridor. 8. Provide on -site parking in full compliance with the parking requirements. 9. Define appropriate location for vehicle access off of South Frontage Road. 10. Potential for VVMC use of Lot 10 and /or the Town's municipal center site. 11. Zoning considerations. 12. Identify future growth and expansion opportunities to ensure the community, long -term healthcare needs are met. 13. Screening of mechanical equipment. VVMC's goals and objectives for the expansion of the campus align directly with the thirteen objectives that have been raised by the Town. The manner in which VVMC expansion plans implement or address master plan goals and the issues raised by the Town are described in subsequent chapters of the Plan. Where appropriate, discussion of specific elements of the Mas- ter Plan begins with a statement describing the underlying goal to be addressed by expansion plans. In some cases the Mas- ter Plan includes a variety of potential solutions for how a par- ticular goal may be achieved. In other cases the Plan outlines fairly specific solutions to how a particular goal is achieved. In either case, final decisions on specific improvements to be implemented by expansion plans will be determined during the PEC's review of CUP applications. It is assumed that specific development plans proposed for VVMC will reflect the solutions outlined in this Plan. Howev- er, it is not the intention of this Master Plan to limit flexibility or to otherwise preclude potential solutions (not included in this Plan) for achieving the goals of this Master Plan. Alterna- tive solutions for addressing specific elements of expansion plans may be considered by the PEC during the review of CUP applications provided they appropriately address the goals for specific elements of the plan and the overall goals and objec- tives of this Master Plan. Proposals deemed to conform to applicable elements of this Master Plan will have a greater expectation of obtaining project approvals than those that do not. VVMC AND EVERGREEN LODGE POTENTIAL LAND EXCHANGE The idea of a potential land exchange between VVMC and Evergreen Lodge evolved during the Town's deliberation of this Master Plan. This discussion occurred for a number of reasons - the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan includes a section on the Evergreen Lodge which discusses the poten- tial for a land exchange with VVMC, the two properties share a significant common boundary, and the adjacency of these two large parcels all raise the question of how a land exchange and /or coordination between these two properties could ben- efit the redevelopment of this area of Vail. January 2015 2/3/2015 191 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 3. MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND MASTER PLAN GOALS VVMC and Evergreen Lodge have evaluated the potential of a land exchange and concluded that a number of benefits to both properties and to the broader community could be realized by exchanging portions of their properties. Chapter 10 of this plan describes the basic elements of a potential land exchange, summarizes elements of VVMC's expansion plans that would be influenced by an exchange and addresses how decisions on the land exchange relate to the overall time line for expansion of VVMC. While a land exchange with the Evergreen Lodge is a concept that has potential, final decisions have not been made on whether an exchange will occur. For master planning purposes the land exchange is presented as a "master plan alterna- tive" for VVMC and final decisions on the land exchange will be made in the future. This master plan presents two alternatives for VVMC's future expansion - a "non -land exchange" alterna- tive and a "land exchange" alternative. With the exception of Chapter 10, the balance of this master plan is based on the assumption that there will not be a land exchange. Chapter 10 addresses how VVMC expansion plans could change with a land exchange. Both alternatives present viable options for the future rede- velopment of VVMC and each alternative is equally capable of achieving the Town's development objectives for this area of Town. January 2015 2/3/2015 1101 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 4. OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS This section of the Master Plan provides an overview of: Building expansions planned for VVMC The main "influences" in the overall site planning of the project Architectural /site design and planning considerations relative to VVMC expansion plans EXPANSION PLANS AND IMPROVEMENTS VVMC currently has + /- 207,000sf of gross floor area (exclusive of parking garages). Expansion plans will increase square footage by just under 50 %, with the total square footage of the campus growing to + /- 300,000sf. Expansions will occur in three primary areas — additions to the West Wing, construction of an entirely new East Wing and construction of a new helipad building on the north side of the campus along South Frontage Road. West Wing Expansion The focal point of the +/- 45,000 sf expansion planned for the West Wing is the addition of a new fourth floor. This new floor will provide space for The Steadman Philippon Research Institute and The Steadman Clinic. Smaller multi-level expansions are also planned at the south and west sides of the West Wing. In addi- tion to new square footage, interior spaces throughout the West Wing will be re- organized and provide increased space for surgery suites, Howard Head Sports Medicine, a Cardiac Catheterization Lab and other uses. Refer to figure 8 on page 15 for a graphic rep- resentation of the West Wing Expansion. New East Wing The existing East Wing of the hospital will be demolished and replaced with a new building of +/- 45,000 A Located below this new building will be a multi-level parking structure which will be accessible from South Frontage Road and will provide the major- ity of all on -site parking. The south half of the new East Wing will include three levels. The lowest level (ground level at West Meadow Drive) will include an enclosed loading /delivery facil- ity and a central utility plant. The second level will be devoted to new Emergency and Imaging Departments. The upper level will accommodate the main hospital entry, admissions and other hospital functions. New Emergency Helipad Building The Emergency Helipad Building will be located at the northern side of the campus along South Frontage Road. While the primary purpose of this building is to accommodate an on -site helipad (see Chapter 8 for additional discussion of the helipad), the building presents an opportunity to create approximately four levels of useable square footage for VVMC. The useable square footage potential of this building is estimated to be +/- 12,000 sf. Refer to figure 9 on page 15 for a graphic representation of the New East Wing and new Emergency Helipad Building. MAIN "INFLUENCES" IN SITE PLANNING OF FUTURE EXPANSIONS A number of factors influenced the overall site planning of future expansions to VVMC. Examples of these are the specific program- matic elements of the expansion plans, the internal relationships of new and expanded uses to other uses within the campus, and how the project can be constructed while maintaining hospital op- erations. Aside from these considerations, the single most impor- tant influence in the overall design of Master Plan improvements is moving VVMC's "Front Door" to South Frontage Road. Bringing vehicular access to this location became a driver based on the fol- lowing design rationale: The main entrance to the hospital needs to be proximate to where patients and guests arrive at the campus. Vehicle access off of South Frontage Road necessitates relocating the main entrance (and key January 2015 2/3/2015 1111 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 4. OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS hospital functions such as admissions) to the East Wing. • Moving ambulance arrival to the new South Frontage Road access is proposed to address a major community goal of removing emergency vehicles from West Meadow Drive. This change necessitates that the new Emergency Department be located within the East Wing. • A new Emergency Department creates the need for the new Imaging Department to be in the East Wing. • Given the scope of new hospital functions that will be located within the East Wing, the east end of the campus became the logical location for structured parking. While other factors were considered in the overall site planning of future expansion plans, the location of the new VVMC entry was a major influence in the design of the new campus. Construction Sequencing A major consideration in the design and construction sequence of future expansion plans is to ensure the on -going operation of the hospital during construction. This is the main reason why VVMC expansion will start with construction of the West Wing. Devel- opment of the West Wing will create new space to allow for the consolidation of a number of existing uses. This consolidation will free up existing space on the campus that can then accommodate existing uses currently located in the East Wing (uses that will be displaced during the demolition and re- construction of the East Wing). Covenant Restrictions and other Conditions The VVMC campus is encumbered by restrictive covenants that address the use of the property and establish limitations on build- ing location, building height and other site development consider- ations. In 1989 a number of restrictions on the design and development of VVMC property were established by covenants for the benefit of the Evergreen Lodge. These covenants impose significant limi- tations on where new buildings can be constructed on the cam- pus and are a major influence on how VVMC can expand in the future. The general building massing of expansion plans conform to the limitations prescribed by these covenants. Vail Resorts donated the land for the hospital to VVMC with the condition that the land be used for "medical services ". Violation of this condition could, at Vail Resorts discretion, result in this land reverting back to Vail Resorts. SPECIFIC ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS The following outlines planning and design considerations relative to specific elements of the VVMC expansion plans. On the follow- ing page is Figure 5, a conceptual site plan depicting expansion plans contemplated by this Master Plan. Building Massing, GOAL The massing (and scale) of hospital expansions to be responsive and sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood. A number of factors influenced the building massing of expan- sions to VVMC, including the structural capacity of existing build- ings to handle additions, internal spatial relationships of existing and future hospital uses, relationships to surrounding buildings in the neighborhood and conformity with applicable Town stan- dards. As mentioned above, a number of covenant restrictions established by a 1989 land use agreement with the Evergreen Lodge directly influence design options available to VVMC.

OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Figure 6 on page 14 provides a general indication of the building footprint and massing of expansions contemplated by the Master Plan. The building height and massing of VVMC should be con- sistent with existing and potential building heights immediately proximate to VVMC and in the vicinity. A number of architectural approaches can be incorporated into the design of the new fourth floor of the West Wing to reduce the scale of the building. Foremost among these should be the use of extensive glazing on the fourth floor to create a lighter, more re- cessed appearance. A mansard roof could also be used to soften the roofline of the building. The West Wing also includes a small expansion along Meadow Drive, this new space is essential to the efficient functioning of this portion of the hospital. This expan- sion presents an opportunity to create interest along the street by varying the building facade along West Meadow Drive. Building off -sets and the use of varied, but related exterior wall materials and fenestration should be used along the entire facade of West Meadow Drive. The massing and scale of the new East Wing should be consistent with building heights allowed by the existing zoning of surround- ing properties. Fenestration, roof forms, variations in wall planes, use of building materials and building stepbacks can be used to achieve compatibility with the neighborhood and to soften the buildings relationship to the street. The Helipad Building is designed to accommodate an on -site helipad at a height that will not impact the development potential of neighboring properties. At a height of +/ -75', the building be- neath the helipad can accommodate approximately 4 floor levels that can provide space for VVMC uses. The height of this build- ing should be consistent with that of other buildings along South Frontage Road. In order to reduce the scale of this building and to more sensitively integrate it with the site, consideration should be given to a "stepped building form" of varied building height. The conceptual massing diagrams (Figures 7, 8 and 9) on page 15 provide a general indication of the massing of the existing campus and the West Wing and East Wing / Helipad Building expansions. �7 6-s le s Vehicle F,n�`-_ 1 euim[,� W-� xfi� antra{ leve s Le".], wig r c Mng C S aa, levels �.wo-j - 2 -3 Levels! i Fig. 6 - Building heights surrounding VVMC and building heights of proposed VVMC expansions.

VVMC shares an important "public edge" with West Meadow Drive. The relocation of VVMC's main entry to South Frontage Road will provide a major benefit to West Meadow Drive and the pedestrian /biking experience along this corridor by dramatically reducing the volume of vehicle trips on this street. Other consid- erations to be addressed in the design of building expansions that will enhance the campus' relationship to West Meadow Drive include: • Off -sets in building facades along West Meadow Drive and the East Wing to avoid continuous wall planes • Variation of building heights • Maintain and enhance where appropriate, landscaping between VVMC buildings and the street and adjacent properties • Introducing outdoor spaces (such as seating areas) in order to create interest and activity along the street • Maintaining the existing West Meadow Drive sidewalk and enhancing this corridor where appropriate • Public art • Potential relocation of Town bus stop These and other detailed design considerations will be addressed during subsequent steps in the review process. Relevant provi- sions of the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum will be considered in the design of site and landscape improvements along West Meadow Drive.

OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Architecture GOAL To integrate the design of new buildings and expansion areas with existing portions of the hospital so as to create a varied but uni- fied architectural expression. The implementation of the Master Plan provides a significant op- portunity for improvement and modernization to the architecture of the campus. The present building is a conglomeration of older buildings on the east and west ends of the campus, with a mod- ern addition in the central portion. Expansion of the West Wing will address the existing 1980 facade. The materials and forms anticipated for this expansion should be consistent with those used in the 2001 Central Wing addition, including natural stone and complimentary metal panel detailing. Window frames should be consistent with these materials and the amount of glazing should be balanced with the need for patient privacy. For exam- ple, on the new 4th level the use of more extensive glazing should be explored to take advantage of natural light and views, and to create a lighter, more recessed appearance at the very top of the building. The new East Wing should be articulated in a similar fashion, utilizing a stepped massing, from bottom to top. The use of varying materials can allow for further reduction of the visual massing of the building. Mechanical Systems One of the major goals of the VVMC Master Plan is to replace its aging utility components with a new Central Utility Plant. In order to minimize noise, odor and other impacts to the neighborhood, the plant will be enclosed within the East Wing on the ground level, behind the service enclosure and away from West Meadow Drive. This area will house heavy equipment including boilers, compressors, and emergency generators. Once East Wing con- struction is complete, existing mechanical equipment located at the southwest corner of the campus along Meadow Drive, shall be removed. New rooftop air - handling units and air - cooled chillers shall be screened (and painted to match roof materials) in a fashion that is consistent with the mechanical screen located above the 2001 Addition, whereby only the metal roofing form is visible from the sides of the buildings. Mechanical noises generated by this equip- ment will be largely contained and reflected above these enclo- sures, as opposed to directly across the roof. Pedestrian Circulation GOAL To provide safe and efficient pedestrian circulation within and through the VVMC campus that meets the needs of hospital users and the broader community. The primary pedestrian access to and from VVMC is West Mead- ow Drive. This shared vehicle /bike /pedestrian corridor is heavily used and provides a key link between Vail Village and Lionshead. Relocating the hospital's main entrance to South Frontage Road will greatly improve the safety and aesthetics of the street by sig- nificantly reducing traffic volumes. This will provide a substantial benefit to those who use this corridor, to neighboring residential uses and to the entire Vail community. A dedicated pedestrian entry to the new Emergency Department will be provided along West Meadow Drive. This entry should be located next to the Town's existing west -bound in -town bus stop. January 2015 2/3/2015 1171 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 4. OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS A north /south pedestrian corridor shall be constructed along the east end of the campus, providing a new connection for pedestri- ans between South Frontage Road and West Meadow Drive. It is a goal that this pedestrian corridor be ADA compliant. Improve- ments to the Frontage Road associated with VVMC's new Front Door will include sidewalks along the south side of South Front- age Road. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for pedestrian circulation. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange with Evergreen Lodge for more information. Middle Creek GOAL To address existing site conditions along VVMC's boundary with Middle Creek in order to minimize potential impacts from surface drainage on the water quality and the adjacent riparian habitat along the creek. The VVMC's existing surface parking lot at the west end of the campus is located adjacent to Middle Creek and the adjoining riparian corridor. The existing relationship between the creek corridor and the parking lot is less than ideal. The existing park- ing lot extends into the stream tract (owned by Eagle River and Sanitation District) and surface drainage from the lot is not well defined. While no major changes are contemplated to this por- tion of the site at this time, improvements to the relationship of the parking lot and Middle Creek should be made, specifically with respect to the managing the quality of water that runs from the lot into the creek. VVMC will evaluate potential improvements to the parking lot's relationship with Middle Creek during the development of detailed improvement plans. Potential improvements in- clude the introduction of "best management practices" to im- prove the quality of water that runs off of the existing surface parking lot. Examples of these types of improvements include: • Re- grading the parking lot or installing gutters to prevent drainage from flowing directly into the creek • Installation of oil /sand separators or bio- swales to clean run -off before it flows from the site • Installation of riparian vegetation along VVMC lands adjacent to the creek • Implementation of "creek sensitive" snow removal/ storage practices • Better defined and demarcated parking areas Proposed improvements should comply with any adopted policies or regulations with regard to the preservation and improvement of the Gore Creek and its tributaries. An opportunity may exist to create a stronger physical and visual connection between VVMC and Middle Creek, with the introduction of trails , seating areas and other passive uses. Any use of the Middle Creek corridor for aesthetic or passive purposes, however, will need to be coordinated with the land owner and should be subordinate to the preservation of the riparian corridor and its inherent natural character. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Ever- green Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for Middle Creek. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange with Evergreen Lodge for more information. January 2015 2/3/2015 1181 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 5. VVMC�S NEW "FRONT DOOR ; MEADOW DRIVE, DELIVERY/SERVICE GOAL Remove the vast maiority of VVMC - generated traffic from West Meadow Drive. Design and manage loading and service facilities and functions to meet the needs of VVMC while at the same time minimizing potentially adverse impacts on the surrounding residential neighborhood and on West Meadow Drive. One of the key elements of this Master Plan is to establish South Frontage Road as the primary vehicular access to VVMC. Estab- lishing VVMC's "Front Door" at South Frontage Road has been a long- standing goal of the Town of Vail. Through their internal master planning process the VVMC team also defined this as a Master Plan goal. The reason for this is quite simple — Meadow Drive is a heavily used pedestrian corridor and reducing the number of cars on this road will greatly improve the aesthetics and safety of this pedestrian corridor. This section of the Master Plan addresses the impact of this improvement on West Meadow Drive and VVMC delivery and service functions. THE NEW FRONT DOOR AND WEST MEADOW DRIVE Re- locating VVMC's main access to South Frontage Road will dra- matically improve conditions on West Meadow Drive by shifting VVMC traffic to the South Frontage Road. Currently VVMC- gener- ated traffic on West Meadow Drive includes the following users: Patients and guests Ambulances /emergency vehicles Delivery and service vehicles VVMC vehicles (employee vans, couriers, etc.) Of particular significance are the 116 parking spaces in the West Lot, 106 of which have historically been used by patients and guests. These spaces typically "turnover" 6 -8 times per day and on a peak day these spaces can generate from 1,200 to 1,700 trips (one in /one out) on West Meadow Drive. All of these trips will shift to South Frontage Road upon construction of the East Wing and the new Front Door (at which time the existing access drive to the West Lot on West Meadow Drive will be controlled). In addition, ambulance traffic and the majority of VVMC vehicles will access VVMC via the new Front Door. This means that the only VVMC - generated traffic on West Meadow Drive will be deliv- ery and service vehicles. The October 10, 2014 memorandum by TurnKey Consulting LLC quantified the existing VVMC delivery and service traffic on West Meadow Drive. On a peak day these uses generate 56 total trips on West Meadow Drive. Based on actual traffic counts on Octo- ber 3, 2014, West Meadow Drive had 394 background trips and an estimated 180 bus trips, or 574 total trips. The 56 delivery/ service trips to VVMC represent 9% of the total daily traffic on West Meadow Drive. Relative to VVMC traffic only and assuming on a typical peak day 1,400 patient and guest trips travel on West Meadow Drive, the new Front Door will shift 96% of all existing VVMC traffic to South Frontage Road. EXISTING DELIVERY AND SERVICE FUNCTIONS VVMC's existing delivery and service functions are handled in a small, open -air facility at the southeast corner of the campus immediately adjacent to West Meadow Drive. The loading area is large enough to accommodate two mid -sized trucks and also includes a trash /dumpster area. On occasion the number of load- ing and service vehicles using the facility at any one time exceeds its capacity. Portions of the loading area are screened by fencing. However, there is currently no delineation between the loading January 2015 2/3/2015 1191 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 5. VVMC�S NEW "FRONT DOOR ; MEADOW DRIVE, DELIVERY/SERVICE area and the adjoining sidewalk, nor is there a clear demarca- tion between the road, the sidewalk and the loading area. These conditions make it difficult to manage where trucks stage while making deliveries. The limited size of the area also requires some trucks to back onto Meadow Drive, creating safety con- cerns along this heavily travelled pedestrian roadway. VVMC has a wide variety of delivery and service needs that are essential to the operation of its facility and vital to providing quality patient care. Deliveries to VVMC occur three different ways. Most deliveries are made by vendors who deliver directly to the Vail campus. VVMC also has a down - valley facility in Gyp- sum where medical and surgical supplies are warehoused and delivered daily to the Vail campus by VVMC vans on an "as need- ed" basis. Finally, a third party contractor makes daily deliveries of medical and surgical supplies from a warehouse in Denver. The October 10, 2014 memorandum by TurnKey Consulting LLC summarized loading and service traffic to VVMC. This data was based on actual truck counts over a two week period. On aver- age 24 delivery and service vehicles serve VVMC each day (re- sulting in 48 total trips on West Meadow Drive). These 24 trips include vendor vehicles, VVMC courier vans and service vehicles (i.e. mechanical or plumbing contractor). On the "peak day" (Mondays) on average 28 service and delivery vehicles serve VVMC. The majority of vendor deliveries are made in mid -sized trucks (SU -30) or smaller. Typically only nine deliveries each week are made by larger trucks (articulated vehicles, WB -40 or larger trucks). On rare occasions larger semi - trucks service VVMC. Examples of these include the delivery of new beds (that may occur once each year or two), a mobile imaging truck, and the periodic need for a temporary generator to service the hos- pital. ALTERNATIVES To DELIVERY AND SERVICE One of the main goals of the Master Plan for VVMC is to establish a new Front Door at South Frontage Road and in doing so remove as much traffic as possible from West Meadow Drive. VVMC generates a variety of different types of vehicular trips — delivery trucks, service vehicles, patients, guests, employees, vendors and emergency vehicles. Each of these users has its own unique design considerations for how it is accommodated. While expan- sion plans will establish a new Front Door at South Frontage Road, due to a number of factors, not all types of vehicle trips generated by VVMC can or should be accommodated at this location. This raises the question of which VVMC vehicle trips should be shifted to the new Front Door and which trips should remain on West Meadow Drive. Providing delivery vehicle access to VVMC from South Frontage Road is problematic for a number of reasons: • Limited site area along South Frontage Road, coupled with need to accommodate vehicle access, hospital drop -off and helipad in this area • Spatial requirements of an enclosed loading facility and turning radius requirements of delivery trucks, • Grade changes between South Frontage Road and the subject site ( >20'), and • Creating an optimal organizational relationship between a loading facility and other existing and future uses a within the campus. For the reasons cited above, delivery vehicles should continue to use West Meadow Drive to access VVMC with all other traffic ac- cessing VVMC via the new Front Door. This reduction in vehicular traffic, coupled with a well- designed and properly managed de- January 2015 2/3/2015 1201 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 5. VVMC�S NEW "FRONT DOOR ; MEADOW DRIVE, DELIVERY/SERVICE livery facility will balance the operational needs of VVMC while providing a major community benefit to West Meadow Drive. VVMC DELIVERY AND SERVICE FACILITY The following design and management parameters address de- sign, safety, aesthetics, noise, odor, congestion and other con- siderations relative to service and delivery functions at VVMC. VVMC service and delivery will be accommodated by a new, enclosed delivery facility on the south side of the East Wing and with provisions for larger truck deliveries in the West Parking lot. The standards below are intended to establish expectations for the design and management of delivery functions. Relevant provisions of Chapter 12 -10, Off Street Parking and Loading, and Section 12 -9C -5, Development Standards, Vail Town Code will also be considered in the review of subsequent development applications.

TRAFFIC/SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD T GOAL Collaborate with neighboring properties to define and imple- ment improvements to South Frontage Road that will provide safe and efficient site access to VVMC, the Town Hall site and the Evergreen Lodge. A Traffic Impact Study has been completed by TurnKey Consult- ing LLC. This study evaluates the traffic impacts of new develop- ment at VVMC and other changes contemplated by this Master Plan, including but not limited to the creation of a new Front Door along South Frontage Road. An executive summary of the study is found in the appendix of this Plan. Figure 11, The Con- ceptual Circulation Plan on the following page depicts proposed vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns for VVMC. Assumptions on potential South Frontage Road improvements (all of which are subject to approval by the Colorado Depart- ment of Transportation), VVMC expansion plans and other traffic- related operational changes at VVMC that were consid- ered in the traffic study included the following: • A two -lane round -about designed to facilitate right -in/ right -out site access to VVMC, the Evergreen Lodge and the Town Hall site, on South Frontage Road • VVMC vehicular access off South Frontage Road will be right -in /right -out only • Evaluate if emergency vehicle access to VVMC is appropriate and approvable via the new main access off of South Frontage Road, including westbound left turn into VVMC • Access to the West Lot Surface Parking and the East Wing parking structure will be provided from VVMC's new main access off of South Frontage Road • Access to the new East Parking Structure and the West Surface Lot will be provided via the new main access off January 2015 2/3/2015 of South Frontage Road If • During the construction of the East Wing, 69 parking spaces in the US Bank Building will be temporarily accessed via West Meadow Drive (subject to coordination with neighboring property owners) • Access from the US Bank Building to remain one -way out bound only. • Maintain roundabout Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better The performance of the South Frontage Road roundabout, the Frontage Road /VVMC access point and the Vail Road /Meadow Drive intersection were evaluated by the Traffic Impact Study. Based on analysis by TurnKey Consulting Inc. and Felsburg Holt Ullevig (retained by the Town of Vail), each of these intersections performed at a level well above minimum Town standards for both level of service and delay. An updated traffic study for VVMC will be provided with subse- quent stages of the development review process. FRONTAGE ROAD ACCESS IMPROVEMENT STUDY The Town of Vail took the lead on a conceptual design study of future road and access improvements to South Frontage Road. The participants in this process include the Town, representatives from the Evergreen Lodge and VVMC. Each of these organizations is contemplating development of their property and the primary goal of this effort is to collaboratively define a plan for access improvements along South Frontage Road that will accommodate access to each property. It is anticipated that over time each of the three properties will be limited to right -in /right -out access off the South Frontage Road improvements. This is due to future growth in background traf- fic on South Frontage Road and the proximity of access points for 22 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 1 6.

The focal point of this study was to evaluate alternative locations and designs for a roundabout. It is assumed that all three parties will benefit from a roundabout and that each property will financially participate in the solution. Topography, limited right -of -way width and site conditions along South Frontage Road present significant design and construction challenges and the sequencing of when the improvement is constructed relative to when each of the three parcels re- develop is also an important consideration. - i " I Evergreen Entry Existing Evergreen access . to Lie removed Lett turn for- emergency vehicles Over ten alternative designs and locations for a roundabout were evaluated.

This construction sequencing allows for the existing helipad to remain (it will be displaced by construction of the roundabout) until such time the new heliport building is operational. During this period of time, interim access improvements to the South Frontage Road will be necessary in order to facilitate access to VVMC.

January 2015 2/3/2015 1251 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan % PARKING GOAL To increase the supply of on -site parking to an amount that when coupled with managed parking solutions meets the needs of patients, visitors and employees of VVMC. The number of on -site parking at VVMC has for many years been acknowledged to be inadequate. Providing sufficient on- site parking is one of the primary goals of this master planning effort. The following section addresses three related topics - methodologies for determining parking requirements, existing parking conditions, and the parking demands expected from ex- pansion of VVMC. More detailed information on each of these topics will be provided in subsequent development applications. METHODOLOGIES FOR DETERMINING PARKING REQUIREMENTS Zoning code formulas used to determine parking requirements for land uses such as office, retail, etc. are fairly consistent and are almost always based on square footage. Hospitals and medical centers present a unique land use and formulas used to determine parking requirements vary widely. Gross square footage, net square footage, number of employees, number of doctors, number of patient beds and number of patient exam rooms (or some combination of the above), are examples of the different "measures" used to determine parking requirements for medical centers. The Town's methodology for determining the medical center's parking requirement is based primarily on square footage, but involves three related considerations: Hospitals 1 space per patient bed 1 space /150 sf net floor area Medical offices 1 space per 200 sf net floor area While in concept a square footage based formula can provide a relative indication of a facility's parking demand, the use of square footage is arbitrary in that all square footage within a medical center is treated uniformly (with respect to its intensity of use, hence parking demand). Basing parking requirements on the number of employees may be a more accurate measure for determining a facility's parking demand. The following formula is suggested as an alternative to the Town's formula: 1 space per patient bed 1 space per exam room 1 space per day shift employee Both of these methodologies have their strengths and weakness- es and as demonstrated below, both formulas provide similar parking numbers when applied to the existing campus. More importantly, both formulas provide a parking number that is very close to the total parking needs of VVMC. As further explained below, the employee -based formula is the most appropriate and accurate formula for determining the VVMC parking demand. EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS Applying the Town parking formula to the existing VVMC campus results in 870 spaces and after application of a 20% multi-use credit the parking requirement is 697 spaces. Applying the employee -based formula to the existing VVMC cam- pus results in 782 spaces and after application of a 17.5% multi- use credit the parking requirement is 645 spaces. While the parking requirement numbers above are very similar, they are based on formulas and may not reflect actual parking conditions, or VVMC's existing parking demand. The table below summarizes actual parking needs, or resources at VVMC: January 2015 2/3/2015 1261 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan % PARKING 407 On -site spaces (located in West Lot, East Structure, US Bank Building) 60 Employee- issued ECO bus passes 32 Average number of employees who utilize VVMC shuttles 120 TOV /Lionshead parking and season parking passes purchased (2013/14 ski season) 53 Off -site leased spaces 672 Total spaces VVMC provides patient, guest and employee parking with a combination of on -site parking, off - site /leased parking and managed parking (employee bus pass and shuttles). These 672 "actual" spaces fall mid -way between two zoning calculations, in essence validating the accuracy of the two parking formulas. This information can also be used to define the existing park- ing deficit at VVMC. Assuming 672 is VVMC's required parking, there are currently 499 "code compliant" parking spaces (407 on -site spaces and 92 "managed" spaces), and as such the exist- ing parking deficit is approximately 173 spaces. PARKING REQUIREMENTS OF MASTER PLAN AND EXPANSION The increased parking demand from expansions contemplated by the Master Plan is expected to be relatively low. While there are plans for expansion of medical space and exam rooms that will generate more employees and increased patient activity that will result in increased parking demand, there are many improvements such as the re- designed Emergency Department that will not increase capacity or employees, hence not increas- ing parking demand. Final determination of new parking de- mand and plans for addressing this demand will be made by the PEC during the CUP process. Assuming the use of the employee -based parking formula, the increased parking demand from the Master Plan expansion is anticipated to be approximately 80 additional spaces, for a total estimated parking demand of approximately 750 spaces. Final determination of parking requirements will made during the re- view of CUP applications. Upon completion of the Master Plan expansion all required park- ing will be provided by on -site parking spaces and other "man- aged" parking solutions, in accordance with the Town's adopted parking regulations. On -site parking will be provided in the US Bank Building, the West Parking Lot, new surface spaces (created when the ambulance building is removed), and a new parking structure at the east end of the campus. As has been done in the past, managed programs will be used to satisfy a portion of VVMC's parking requirement. Parking management will include a variety of programs to include: • Continuing the use of employee shuttles • Continuing the use of the Employee ECO bus pass program • Valet Parking • Use of compact spaces • Implementation of parking management strategies to increase the efficiencies of how parking spaces are utilized During the construction of the new East Wing parking structure, interim off -site parking will be needed for approximately two years. It is anticipated that these spaces will be addressed by leasing off -site spaces and providing expanded employee shuttle and bus pass programs. Details on these programs along with additional information on the number of required parking spaces, the manner in which new parking will be provided, and parking January 2015 2/3/2015 1271 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan % PARKING management plans will be provided with subsequent develop- ment applications. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for parking.

EMERGENCY HELIPAD y T GOAL Batterson of CLB Enterprises. The Preliminary Heliport Feasibility Establish an emergency helipad within the VVMC campus that & Design Study Report, January 15, 2015 by HeliExperts LLC is is located to provide a direct internal connection to the new found in the appendix of this Master Plan. Emergency Department and with sensitivity to the surrounding neighborhood. EMERGENCY HELIPAD SITE ALTERNATIVES EXISTING EMERGENCY HELIPAD The existing helipad that serves VVMC is located north of South Frontage Road and immediately west of the Vail Town Hall. This helipad has been used by VVMC for the past 30 years. A helipad is an essential element of a medical facility such as VVMC. On average, approximately 70 helicopter transports occur each year The vast majority of these are scheduled transports of patients from VVMC to other healthcare facilities. While the existing helipad has served its purpose in supporting emergency air transport, there are shortcomings with the current helipad and it needs to be relocated. The fundamental limitation of the existing helipad is that it requires the transfer of the patients to and from VVMC via an ambulance. The most significant implication of this is increased risk to the patient and the additional time required to transfer the patient (also adding risk). In addition, the transfer monopolizes the use of an ambulance and crew and also necessitates Police Department personnel to temporarily close South Frontage Road. None of these shortcomings would be addressed by an off -site helipad. It is for these reasons that only an on- campus helipad would improve existing conditions and meet the highest standards of patient care. The evaluation of alternative locations for the emergency helipad and recommendations for the preferred location were completed with the assistance of HeliExperts International LLC and Caycee Four potential on -site helipad locations were evaluated. Depicted on Figure 14 below, these alternatives were evaluated based on the following considerations: • Safety • Patient transfer requirements to /from the Emergency Department • FAA and NFPA standards • Aircraft performance • Community Impact Fig. 14 - On -site helipad location alternatives Each of the four on -site alternatives involves rooftop solutions and each location could accommodate a helipad that conforms to applicable guidelines of the FAA Advisory Circular relative to flight paths and other aeronautical considerations. January 2015 2/3/2015 1291 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 8. EMERGENCY HELIPAD Alternatives B and D each presents challenges with respect to their relationship to the future location of the Emergency Department and each of these locations would have significant impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. For these reasons both B and D were dropped from consideration. While Alternative C has a very convenient relationship to the future location of the Emergency Department, the flight path to this alternative location would follow the Gore Creek corridor to the west and while this flight path would conform to FAA guidelines it would have significant impacts on residential uses located along this corridor. For this reason Alternative C was dropped from consideration. Alternative A is the preferred location for the emergency helipad due to its proximity to the future location of the Emergency Department, conformance with applicable FAA guidelines, and limited impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. PROPOSED EMERGENCY HELIPAD LOCATION The proposed helipad is located adjacent to South Frontage Road on a portion of the campus that is not encumbered by the Evergreen covenant restriction. The helipad will be designed in concert with the design of VVMC's new Front Door to ensure efficient site access and circulation. The proposed location allows for an easterly flight path that would pass over the Town Hall site and then run parallel with the 1 -70 corridor. The westerly flight path would follow South Frontage Road and gradually align with the 1 -70 corridor. Refer to Figure 16 on page 31. At this master plan level, it is assumed that the elevation of the helipad will be approximately 75' above the top level of the existing VVMC parking structure. The helipad is set Fig. 15 - Proposed helipad location at this elevation in order to not negatively impact the future development of surrounding properties. Based on conceptual studies, with the helipad at 75' the Evergreen Lodge could develop to the maximum allowable 82.5' building height (for habitable space) anywhere within zoning or town master plan prescribed setbacks and have no impact on the western flight path of the helicopter. The Town Hall site could be developed to just over 60' and have no impact on the eastern flight path of the helicopter. In addition to a maximum allowable building height of 82.5', town zoning allows up to an additional 15' of building height for "architectural projections" such as towers, spire, cupolas, flagpoles and similar features not usable as habitable floor area. Based on conceptual studies, the majority of the Evergreen site could accommodate the maximum 15' architectural projection with no impact to the westerly flight path of the helicopter. There is, however, a corridor along the northern side of the Evergreen January 2015 2/3/2015 1301 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 8. EMERGENCY HELIPAD Lodge in which a 15' architectural projection could impact the westerly flight path (penetrate the FAA prescribed obstruction surfaces). Solutions to address this potential situation are to elevate the helipad to eliminate the impact or for any architectural projection above 82.5' that may be proposed by the Evergreen be located to not impact the flight path and FAA obstruction surfaces. FUTURE STEPS IN THE REVIEW OF EMERGENCY HELIPAD The Town's Master Plan evaluation of the proposed helipad is the first of many steps in the review process. Following Master Plan approval, VVMC will complete additional work on the conceptual design of the helipad, coordinate with helipad users and then submit notice of the proposed helipad to the FAA. The FAA will then conduct an initial review of the proposal. At this same time, more detailed information on the design and operation of the helipad will be submitted to the Town as part of a CUP application. In addition, an Environmental Impact Report will be provided as an element of the CUP application. Following approval of a CUP application VVMC will coordinate with the FAA on a "favorable determination of air space" for the helipad. Upon issuance of building permits and construction of the helipad, the FAA may, at their discretion, complete a final inspection of the helipad. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for the Helipad. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange with Evergreen Lodge for more information. Fig. 16 - Proposed helicopter approach and departure flight paths. January 2015 2/3/2015 1311 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 9. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS The following section addresses zoning /development review considerations and other topics relative to expansion plans envisioned by the Master Plan. Many of these topics will be addressed in greater detail during the review of subsequent development applications. EMPLOYEE HOUSING GOAL To provide employee housing consistent with provisions of Chapter 23 of the Vail Town Code. Chapter 23 - Commercial Linkage of the Town's zoning regula- tions stipulates that "commercial development or redevelop- ment shall mitigate its impact on employee housing by provid- ing Employee Housing Units (EHUs) for twenty percent (20 %) of the employees generated." Further, that "employee hous- ing impacts need only be mitigated for a redevelopment that results in a greater number of employees generated from an increase in net floor area." As such VVMC's requirement is to provide housing for 20% of the new employees resulting from the proposed expansion. Chapter 23 of the Town code provides a table of employee gen- eration rates for a variety of different land uses. Hospitals and medical facilities are not included in this table. In accordance with the ordinance, in such cases it is incumbent on the appli- cant to provide documentation of employee generation antici- pated from the project. VVMC and other entities that operate within the campus (i.e. Colorado Mountain Medical, The Steadman Clinic, etc.) include approximately 550 employees. It is anticipated that as the Master Plan expansion is implemented employees will increase to approximately 610, an increase of 60 employees. By way of example, assuming 60 new employees and the Town's 20% hous- ing requirement, housing for 12 employees would be required. This housing may be in the form of dormitory; studio; or 1, 2 or 3 bedroom units. Final determination of new employee generation will be made during the CUP review process. Chapter 23 stipulates that 50% of required employee housing be located "on- site" with the provision that exceptions can be made to this requirement if any one of four findings are met. For two reasons all required employee housing will be provided off -site — residential is incompatible with the institutional uses at VVMC and the limited land area afforded by the campus is best utilized for addressing medical and related needs of VVMC. Detailed information on employee generation, the exception to the on -site requirement, and an employee housing plan will be provided in subsequent development applications. ZONING Existing zoning of the VVMC campus includes three different zone districts. The majority of the campus is zoned General Use (GU), the US Bank Building site is zoned Special Development District (SSD #23), and a portion of land along South Frontage Road (re- cently purchased from the Evergreen Lodge) is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use —1. Figure 17 on the following page depicts the zon- ing of the VVMC campus. The following summarizes the existing zoning of these three areas relative to the proposed master plan. General Use Zoning The majority of the campus is zoned GU. The purpose of the GU district is intended for use on sites with public and quasi - public January 2015 2/3/2015 1321 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 9. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS �—+ The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen 7 Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for Lionshead Mixed Use -1 Zoning. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Ex- ea d change with Evergreen Lodge for more information. Mixed Use - SDD Zoning VVMC purchased the US Bank Building in 2005. At that time, the property was used as a professional office building and was zoned f SDD #23. Since that time, VVMC has converted many office uses �.r —Lr- within the building to medical uses or office uses directly related 4 to VVMC. These medical uses are permissible by SDD #23. Q��__L VVMC - Existing Zoning Fig. 17 - VVMC existing zoning. uses and this zone district has been the primary tool for review- ing the development of VVMC for many decades. "Healthcare facilities" are a Conditional Use in the GU District. There are no changes proposed to this zoning. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for General Use Zoning. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange witr Evergreen Lodge for more information. Lionshead Mixed Use -1 Zoning This small portion of the VVMC campus was zoned LHMU -1 when acquired from the Evergreen Lodge. The LHMU -1 district does not allow for medical facilities, medical offices or clinics. For this reason the re- zoning of this portion of the campus to GU will be proposed as an element of future development applications. While the majority of the building has evolved into a medical office building, the bank use is expected to remain for the fore- seeable future. VVMC's ultimate plan is for all uses within the building to be medical- oriented and it is anticipated this will occur once the bank vacates the building. At that time it is expected that the property will be re -zoned to the GU district. There are two reasons for not re- zoning this portion of VVMC to GU at this time. The existing bank building is physically separate from the rest of the buildings on the VVMC campus and as such there are no real regulatory complications from having two dif- ferent zone districts in place on the VVMC campus. More impor- tantly, the "banks and financial institutions" are not permitted in the GU district. Re- zoning the property to GU would make the existing bank a non - conforming use and this could create future unintended or unforeseen consequences.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS VAIL LAND USE PLAN these improvements will provide facilities that will allow VVMC The Vail Land Use Plan includes references to VVMC. It is intend- to serve the community with state -of- the -art, high quality health- ed that this Master Plan supersede all reference to VVMC found in the Vail Land Use plan. The Vail Land Use Plan shall be modi- fied to create a new land use designation specific to VVMC. TOV LANDS The adjacency of Lot 10 to the west side of the VVMC campus presents a meaningful opportunity for the long -term growth of the hospital. While small in size, Lot 10 could nonetheless be a key factor in providing future hospital improvements at the west end of the campus. VVMC remains interested in working with the Town regarding the future acquisition of this parcel. Doing so could facilitate VVMC's ability to pursue expansion plans on the West Lot at some point in the future. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for TOV Lands. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange with Ever- green Lodge for more information. FUTURE EXPANSION POTENTIAL AT VVMC GOAL To ensure that opportunities remain to accommodate, future Mansions to VVMC beyond those contemplated by this Master Plan. Expansions and improvements outlined in this Master Plan are planned to meet the needs of VVMC for many years. In doing so care. It is difficult to speculate on expansions or improvements be- yond those envisioned by this Master Plan. That said, as medical services and technology evolve over the next few decades, it is reasonable to assume that over time additional changes to VVMC will be necessary. VVMC would have two options available for future expansion and improvements to the campus: US Bank Buildi Since it was purchased by VVMC in 2005, this building has evolved into a nearly exclusive medical office building. As a part of the changes to the main hospital campus outlined by this Master Plan, the US Bank Building will be used to accommodate some uses that are currently located on the main campus. As such the building plays a key role in the overall master plan for VVMC by providing support /ancillary medical space for the hospi- tal. A significant amount of resources have gone into renovations to this building in order to facilitate these uses. Over time, it may be possible to demolish this building and redevelop it with more direct, physical integration with the main campus. This would represent one alternative for how VVMC could address future long -term needs. West Lot The West Lot is a location that could accommodate a new build- ing at some point in the future. This would likely necessitate below -grade structured parking. Access to this building (and parking) would be possible via South Frontage Road and the new main entry to VVMC. January 2015 2/3/2015 1341 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 9. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS No specific work has been done in preparing long term improve- ment /expansion plans for the West Lot or the US Bank Building. This Master Plan does, however, acknowledge how these two areas provide VVMC with options for how future unforeseen needs could be accommodated on the campus. The potential land exchange between VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge may influence VVMC's final design solutions for future ex- pansion potential. Refer to Chapter 10 — Potential Land Exchange with Evergreen Lodge for more information. January 2015 2/3/2015 1351 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 10. POTENTIAL LAND EXCHANGE WITH EVERGREEN LODGE The underlying premise of a VVMC /Evergreen land exchange is that modifying the common boundary between the two proper- ties enhances the redevelopment opportunities of both proper- ties, opportunities that would not be possible with existing parcel boundaries. Enhanced redevelopment opportunities include not just the specific development potential of each property, but also how the design and development of each site could be accom- plished to create a seamless transition between each property and to better address community- oriented goals and objectives. VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge have evaluated a potential land exchange and determined that at a conceptual level a land ex- change could provide benefits to both parties and also result in redevelopments that further the Town's development objectives. This section summarizes the main elements of a land exchange, elements of the VVMC master plan that would change in the event of a land exchange and next steps on the potential land exchange. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE LAND EXCHANGE The concept of the land exchange involves VVMC conveying a portion of its west parking lot to the Evergreen Lodge in exchange for the easternmost corner of the Evergreen site. Land acquired by the Evergreen Lodge would be used to link the future rede- velopment of the Lodge directly to West Meadow Drive. VVMC would utilize the easternmost portion of the Evergreen site to shift the location of the helipad building and in doing so cre- ate more room for the main entry to the hospital. Figure 18, a conceptual site plan of VVMC's expansion plans with the land exchange is found on the following page. green Lodge that significantly restricted the future development of the VVMC site. A key element of the land exchange would involve the Evergreen Lodge releasing many of these restrictions and in doing so create future expansion opportunities beyond what is currently possible. A major focus of redevelopment plans for the Evergreen Lodge is to create a strong pedestrian connection to West Meadow Drive. A second aspect of the land exchange would involve VVMC cooperating with the Evergreen Lodge on site and landscape improvements necessary for the Evergreen Lodge to create a new public space that will establish this connection. These two considerations will provide important benefits to each property and also to the broader community. LAND EXCHANGE INFLUENCE ON VVMC REDEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN If the land exchange is implemented the vast majority of the ex- pansion plans outlined in this redevelopment master plan will re- main unchanged. For example, there would be no changes to the design of the West Wing (and it will remain the initial step in the construction process regardless of a land exchange), and the ma- jor elements of the East Wing will be largely unchanged. Changes to expansion plans that would result from the land exchange are relatively subtle, but none the less important to the future devel- opment of VVMC. The following highlights how specific elements of this Master Plan would be influenced by the land exchange: Pedestrian Circulation The VVMC redevelopment master plan currently includes a north/ south pedestrian connection along the eastern edge of the site. The pedestrian connection planned by the Evergreen Lodge would potentially be a better pedestrian solution and could eliminate In addition to the exchange of land, there are two other signifi- the need for the connection at the east end of the VVMC site. cant elements of the potential land exchange.

Redevelopment plans for the Evergreen Lodge, particularly ing final decisions on specific storm water improvements for the with respect to the planned pedestrian connection, may influence west parking lot. the future use of Lot 10. As an element of the land exchange discussions, VVMC, the Evergreen Lodge and the Town of Vail will Delivery and Service VVMC will re- evaluate the potential for a shared facility with the Evergreen Lodge and the ability to provide delivery and service vehicle access via South Frontage Road. Parking Conveyance of a portion of the west lot to the Evergreen Lodge will remove approximately 25 parking spaces from VVMC. The loss of these spaces will need to be incorporated into the overall parking plan for VVMC. This will be addressed during the CUP process for the East Wing. Helipad Building and Entry to VVMC Acquiring a portion of the Evergreen site will allow the helipad building to shift to the northwest. This shift will create more room for the new Front Door to VVMC (vehicular circulation, pa- tient drop -off, etc.) and allow for an improved arrival experience for all hospital users. Relief to current covenant restrictions will also allow for greater flexibility in the design of the East Wing and the main entry into the hospital. Based on an initial review by HeliExperts LLC, the shift in the helipad will have no appreciable impact on the planned arrival and departure flight paths. coordinate on what role, if any, Lot 10 may play in final design solutions for VVMC and the Evergreen Lodge. Future Expansion Potential If covenant restrictions are released by the Evergreen Lodge there will be a significant and very positive change to the future expan- sion potential at VVMC. Currently future expansions to VVMC beyond what is contemplated by this Master Plan are limited to the West Lot and the US Bank Building. Existing covenant restric- tions limit the height, building footprint and location of any new building in the West Lot. Covenant restrictions do not limit the redevelopment potential of the US Bank Building; however, this site is somewhat detached from the rest of the campus. While the West Lot and the US Bank Building do provide potential for future expansions to VVMC, expansions in these areas would be difficult to integrate with rest of the campus. The potential land exchange would include a significant degree of relief to existing restrictive covenants. Figure 19, the conceptual massing diagram on the following page depicts where additional building expansion could occur if covenant restrictions are modi- fied. These areas of future building expansion would be more viable to VVMC (than existing expansion potential) given their LH Mixed Use Zoning and other Zoning Considerations relationship and proximity to existing facilities.

If acquired, this land should be rezoned ized by the community over time. January 2015 2/3/2015 1381 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan 10. POTENTIAL LAND EXCHANGE WITH EVERGREEN LODGE NEXT STEPS WITH LAND EXCHANGE There are two key steps with regard to making a final decision on the land exchange. The first of these is for VVMC and the Ever- green Lodge to continue their discussions on the more detailed aspects of the land exchange. The second is to coordinate with Vail Resorts. When Vail Resorts conveyed land to VVMC for the hospital the conveyance included the condition that the land be used "for purposes directly relating to medical services ". If this condition is violated, the property could, at VR's option revert back to them. For the land exchange to occur, Vail Resorts will need to modify this condition such that residential /condominium use is permissible on the portion of the West Lot that would be acquired by the Evergreen Lodge. In the event the land exchange is realized, both parties would continue to coordinate on the planning and design of their re- spective projects. It is assumed that the Evergreen Lodge would initiate a planning process for their redevelopment. VVMC would proceed with the obtaining CUP approvals and initiating construc- tion of the West Wing (the West Wing is currently planned as the first sequence of construction and this would not change with or without a land exchange). VVMC would then modify detailed designs of the East Wing to reflect changes made possible by the land exchange (shifting location of helipad building and design of VVMC entry off of South Frontage Road). These detailed designs would then be submitted to the Town for review as part of a CUP application. :,V—, I r Fig. 19 - Conceptual massing study of future VVMC infill /expansion potential with relief of existing covenant restrictions.

The VVMC is located on the south side of the 1 -70 South Frontage Road (Frontage Road) about 750 feet west of the main Vail interchange. The VVMC also has access to West Meadow Drive. See Figure 1 for the Project Vicinity Map. All land use details listed in this TIS are based on the VVMC Master Plan effort, and will be updated as the Project concept is refined. Another key assumption is a future roundabout on the Frontage Road, which would provide optimal access to each of the three adjacent properties when this area builds out. The TOV has recently been working with adjacent property owners to evaluate alternative roundabout locations and to define the preferred location for this roundabout. This TIS assumed a roundabout configuration, but the roundabout solution is dependent upon the participation of all three property owners, and is based on the assumption that each of the properties will be redeveloped at the same time. Since the timing of these projects may not occur simultaneously, VVMC evaluated Frontage Road improvements that would be necessary if VVMC were to redevelop "First and Alone ". The "First and Alone" evaluation was done to find a workable VVMC access solution that could occur within the existing right of way. The ultimate roundabout configuration would require additional highway right of way for implementation. In addition, CDOT understands that over - designed roundabouts can create operational issues, which is another reason that VVMC evaluated access options that do not include a roundabout. This TIS will be updated as necessary and resubmitted for the TOV Condition Use Permit (CUP) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) access permit processes. 1.2 Study Area The Study Area includes the intersections listed below, which are shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the lane geometry and traffic control. Intarcar finnc #1 Frontage Road and Evergreen Access (South Leg) (Proposed intersection west of VVMC Access — assumed to be a roundabout) #2 Frontage Road and VVMC Access (South Leg) / TOV Access (North Leg) #3 Vail Road and Meadow Drive TurnKe Page 1 2/3/2015 Consulting, LLc VVMC Master Plan TIS The Vail Road and Meadow Drive intersection was added to the Study Area because the VVMC trips at this intersection will increase during the East End construction. The increase in VVMC trips at this intersection will occur because the 69 parking spaces at the US Bank Building will be accessed via West Meadow Drive instead of the Frontage Road. The south roundabout at the Main Vail Interchange was not included in the Study Area. The 2025 Vail Transportation Plan (Vail TMP) concluded that there is a limited amount of realistic capacity improvements that could be constructed at this interchange, and discussed other system -wide improvements that would help alleviate congestion at the Main Vail Interchange. 1.3 Traffic Analysis Periods and Years The traffic analysis was conducted for the periods and conditions listed below. The traffic volumes used in the analysis are based on traffic data from the peak summer and winter seasons. In addition, traffic volumes from the Vail TMP were used for the Frontage Road. Periods • Weekday AM Peak Hour • Weekday PM Peak Hour Conditions • Year 2015 • Year 2016 • Year 2017 • Year 2018 • Year 2035 — West End (During Construction) — West End (Construction Completed) — East End (During Construction) — East End (Construction Completed) — Build -out (20 -year horizon) Definitions: West End improvements include approximately 40,000 SF of medical space on and around the existing West Wing of the VVMC. East End improvements include approximately 25,000 SF of net new medical space and an expanded parking structure at the east end of the Campus. 1.4 Background Traffic Assumptions Related to Adjacent Development The future traffic volumes used in this study assume the following: • VVMC build out • Evergreen Site redevelopment, per previous traffic study for this site • No changes to the Town of Vail municipal site 1.5 Existing and Proposed Project Uses Table 1 shows the existing and proposed Project uses for each condition.

The participants in this process include all adjacent property owners because the roundabout would require additional right of way from these properties. VVMC, TOV, and the Evergreen Lodge have been meeting for a couple months to evaluate various roundabout location and configuration options. The TOV has retained Felsburg Holt and Ullevig (FHU) to provide technical support to the effort, and they produced a memorandum to the TOV on 8/1/14. The FHU memo summarized the results of the alternatives analysis for the roundabout, which was based on build out conditions of all three properties in the year 2035. The most recent team meeting was held on 8/5/14 where the participants agreed that the roundabout would be likely be located near the shared property line between the VVMC and Evergreen properties. FHU is currently looking at several different access configurations for the roundabout at this location. This VVMC TIS could not analyze the proposed roundabout because the preferred configuration is not known yet. Therefore, this TIS refers to and relies upon the FHU memo for the roundabout operational analysis in the build out condition. The FHU memo indicates that the proposed roundabout would operate at LOS B or better, even when using conservative background traffic and site trip generation estimates. It is anticipated that the preferred roundabout location and configuration will be identified sometime during the VVMC Master Plan approval process, so this TIS will be updated accordingly. VVMC has identified the Frontage Road improvements that would be necessary if VVMC were to redevelop "First and Alone ". The "First and Alone" evaluation was done to find a workable VVMC access solution that could occur within the existing right of way. The ultimate roundabout configuration would require additional highway right of way for implementation. In addition, CDOT understands that over - designed roundabouts can create operational issues, which is another reason that VVMC evaluated the "First and Alone" access options that do not include a roundabout. The Proposed Roundabout on the Frontage Road was analyzed for the completion of of the VVMC Master Plan, which is anticipated to be year 2018. Table 3 shows the level of service (LOS), delay, and queuing results of the roundabout analysis based on the HCM 2010 Roundabout Methodology.

Refer to the FHU memo in the Appendix for the year 2035 Build -out analysis results. 1.6.2 VVMC Access / TOV Access on Frontage Road [Intersection #2] The year 2018 East End (Construction Completed) analysis showed that the existing roadway configuration at the VVMC Access will probably create grid -lock on the Frontage Road and Main Vail interchange. If the proposed roundabout is not constructed prior to year 2018, the "First and Alone" alternative should be constructed prior to (or coincide with) the completion of the VVMC Master Plan construction in year 2018. Table 4 shows that the "First and Alone" alternative will provide acceptable traffic operations at the VVMC Access and TOV Access thru the year 2035. In addition, an eastbound right -turn deceleration lane should be constructed at the VVMC Access on the Frontage Road.

Table 5 — VVMC /TOV Access on Frontage Road Analysis Results [Year 2035] VVMC and TO Accesses are RIRO (in coniunction with the Proaosed Roundabout) 1.6.3 Vail Road and Meadow Drive [Intersection #3] The existing main access to the VVMC is on West Meadow Drive. In order to get to the VVMC main access, drivers pass thru the Vail Road and Meadow Drive intersection, which is a small four -way stop intersection with a high number of pedestrians and local buses. The VVMC Master Plan proposes to relocate the main access to the Frontage Road, but the new main access on the Frontage Road will not be open until year 2018. In addition, when the East End is being constructed in year 2017, it will be necessary to access the 69 parking spaces at the US Bank Building via West Meadow Drive. This means that the VVMC traffic on West Meadow Drive will increase over the existing condition when the East End is under construction. The existing roadway configuration was analyzed for the year 2017 East End (During Construction) scenario. Table 6 shows what can be expected at the this intersection when the 69 parking spaces at the US Bank Building are access via West Meadow Drive during the construction of the East End parking structure.

This means that the VVMC traffic on West Meadow Drive will increase over the existing condition when the East End is under construction. The existing roadway configuration was analyzed for the year 2017 East End (During Construction) scenario.

The 69 parking spaces at the US Bank Building represents a 60% increase in VVMC parking spaces accessed via West Meadow Drive (116 existing vs 185 during East End Construction). However, the traffic data obtained in February 2014 showed that the peak hour trips to /from the US Bank Building were 36 vph (AM) and 43 (PM). Based on the existing peak hour traffic volumes at the Vail Road and Meadow Drive intersection (AM = 316 vph, PM = 518 vph), the increase in VVMC trips on West Meadow Drive to /from the US Bank Building during the East End Constructions is only 11 % (AM) and 8% (PM). VVMC Trips on West Meadow Drive after the VVMC Master Plan is Completed After the VVMC Master Plan is completed in year 2018, the VVMC traffic volume on West Meadow Drive will go from about 1,000 -1,400 vehicles per day (1,000 = summer season, 1,400 = winter season) to 58 vehicles per day (service and delivery vehicles only). The 58 vehicles per day on West Meadow Drive is 29 services and delivery vehicles that make 29 trips IN and 29 trips OUT for a total of 58 daily trips. The existing peak hour VVMC traffic at the Vail Road and Meadow Drive intersection represents 21% (AM) and 29% (PM). After completion of the VVMC Master Plan in year 2018, the peak hour traffic volume at this intersection will decrease by those same percentages. 1.7 Conclusions and Recommendations The following conclusions and recommendations are based on the Project trip generation and traffic analysis. 1.7.1 Proposed Roundabout on Frontage Road [Intersection #1] The TOV has taken the lead on the preliminary design of the Proposed Roundabout on the Frontage Road. The participants in this process include all adjacent property owners because the roundabout would require additional right of way from these properties. VVMC, TOV, and the Evergreen Lodge have been meeting for a couple months to evaluate various roundabout location and configuration options. The TOV has retained Felsburg Holt and Ullevig (FHU) to provide technical support to the effort, and they produced a memorandum to the TOV on 8/1/14. The FHU memo summarized the results of the alternatives analysis for the roundabout, which was based on build out conditions on all three properties in the year 2035. The most recent team meeting was held on 8/5/14 where the participants agreed that the roundabout would be likely be located near the shared property line between the VVMC and Evergreen properties. FHU is currently looking at several different access configurations for the roundabout at this location. This VVMC TIS could not analyze the proposed roundabout because the preferred configuration is not known yet. Therefore, this TIS refers to and relies upon the FHU memo for the roundabout operational analysis in the build out condition. The FHU memo indicates that the TurmnKe Page 9 2/3/2015 Consulting, LLC VVMC Master Plan TIS proposed roundabout would operate at LOS B or better, even when using conservative background traffic and site trip generation estimates. It is anticipated that the preferred roundabout location and configuration will be identified sometime during the VVMC Master Plan approval process, so this TIS will be updated accordingly. VVMC has identified the Frontage Road improvements that would be necessary if VVMC were to redevelop "First and Alone ". The "First and Alone" evaluation was done to find a workable VVMC access solution that could occur within the existing right of way. The ultimate roundabout configuration would require additional highway right of way for implementation. In addition, CDOT understands that over - designed roundabouts can create operational issues, which is another reason that VVMC evaluated the "First and Alone" access options that do not include a roundabout. 1.7.2 VVMC Access on Frontage Road [Intersection #2] The year 2018 East End (Construction Completed) analysis showed that the existing roadway configuration at the VVMC Access will probably create grid -lock on the Frontage Road and Main Vail interchange. If the proposed roundabout is not constructed prior to year 2018, the "First and Alone" alternative should be constructed prior to (or coincide with) the completion of the VVMC Master Plan construction in year 2018. The "First and Alone" alternative will provide acceptable traffic operations at the VVMC Access (RIRO) and TOV Access (3/4 movement) thru the year 2035. In addition, an eastbound right -turn deceleration lane should be constructed at the VVMC Access on the Frontage Road. 1.7.3 Vail Road and Meadow Drive [Intersection #3] The VVMC trips at this intersection will increase during the East End construction due to the 69 parking spaces at the US Bank Building being accesses via West Meadow Drive. However, the increase in traffic at this intersection will only be 11 % (AM) and 8% (PM), and there will not be a noticeable change in the LOS, delay, or queuing at this intersection. No changes are recommended at this intersection.

This version is based on actual Delivery / Service Vehicle count data collected September 29 thru October 3. This version also includes actual traffic count data on West Meadow Drive instead of an estimation based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual. This memo addresses the VVMC Delivery / Service vehicle traffic on West Meadow Drive. Tables 1 and 2 show the existing VVMC Delivery / Service vehicles. The information in Tables 1 and 2 is based on a 5 -day traffic count conducted Monday, September 29 thru Friday, October 3, 2014. A VVMC staff person observed and recorded details (arrival & departure time, vendor name, vehicle size,) for each Delivery / Service vehicle at the loading dock for a 12 -hour period (6 am to 6 pm) each of the five days. The Attachments contain more detailed calculation tables and the raw traffic count data. VVMC anticipates that these numbers will not change significantly after the Master Plan construction is completed. Even though the VVMC will be larger in size, employee more people, and serve more patrons and guests, it is anticipated that the same number of Delivery / Service vehicles will visit VVMC on a daily basis — they will just deliver or pick -up more material each trip.

The VVMC main entrance will be relocated to the 170 South Frontage Road so the only VVMC traffic on West Meadow Drive will be Delivery / Service vehicles. The peak hour traffic volumes in Table 3 are based on intersection turning movement counts conducted in February 2014 during the peak winter season. It was not feasible to conduct a daily tube count on West Meadow Drive in February due to winter conditions.

Syms 6 Associates and Operated PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to provide preliminary information on the feasibility of constructing a heliport on the VVMC campus. This report addresses the need for a heliport at VVMC, site selection and general description of the proposed heliport, safety and community considerations, aeronautical regulatory considerations, and subsequent steps in the review and construction of a heliport. This report is to be used by the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council in the review of VVMC's Master Plan proposal to develop a heliport on the hospital campus. This report concludes at this initial master plan level review, that the proposed heliport location can meet and exceed all current safety guidelines and licensing criteria of the FAA, NFPA and the aviation and air medical industries. Upon approval of the VVMC Master Plan and as a part of the Town's Conditional Use Permit review process additional site specific design and operational information on the heliport will be provided. In addition, the FAA and NFPA will be involved in the review of the helipad prior to its construction. BACKGROUND The integration of a well- designed and properly sited heliport on a hospital's campus has been proven to dramatically and positively impact short and long term patient outcomes as well as overall community safety. By reducing travel distances, lifesaving minutes can be better allocated to the delivery of definitive care rather than patient transport. This minimization of distance also cuts down on ambulance traffic and transfers which in -turn reduces the risk exposure to patients, medical teams and the community. By collocating a heliport directly on the hospital's campus VVMC can eliminate the need for an additional ambulance transfer and decrease the strain placed on limited and valuable local emergency response assets and personnel. HELIPORT SITE SELECTION AND DESCRIPTION Vail Valley Medical Center currently utilizes a ground based heliport located adjacent to the hospital campus to the north of the hospital on the opposite side of South Frontage Road for the transfer of patients from their facility. While this configuration is adequate it is a less than ideal situation in regards to providing optimum rapid transport to time critical patients. In conjunction with potential delays in transport the current operation exposes patients to potential risks during transfers between ambulances and helicopters as well as extremes in local environmental conditions.

Syms 6 Associates Veteran Ownec: and OperaNd Both on -site and off -site locations were initially considered, but in adhering to the primary objective and criteria, that being to have a better heliport than currently exists (i.e. one on campus), off -site locations were not pursued. In assessing all identified potential onsite heliport locations (See Exhibit A) the onsite hospital heliport location identified was chosen due to its inherent superiority based on the criteria used in the evaluation process. The identified rooftop location provides the overall maximum benefit in the areas of: • Safety • Reduced patient transfer requirements • Reduced patient transport distance and time • Enhanced patient care • FAA and NFPA standards • Aircraft performance • Local EMS and First Responder asset allocation • Limited community impact This conclusion is based on both current as well as previous work conducted by our team members dating back to 1995 to include a site selection feasibility analysis which was performed for VVMC in 2011. Keeping the need for the heliport to have good patient stretcher and gurney access to and from the Emergency Room in mind, the concept for using a rooftop heliport with good vertical access to the hospital is very important. Proper application of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and good design practices however dictate the heliport itself needs to be at an elevation allowing for proper airflow under the heliport itself. The proposed heliport design meets or exceeds all of those exacting criteria. The proposed helicopter Touchdown and Liftoff (TLOF) landing site will be a concrete and steel 60' X 60' heliport (See Exhibit B), elevated approximately 75' above the VVMC parking structure and mounted on extended columns above the medical office building on the main campus. The inclusion of the 75' elevation has been incorporated to maximize aeronautical safety and meet safety criteria, address the effects of contemplated future construction in the vicinity based on current zoning criteria, and enhance overall operational and patient safety. The addition of a gurney ramp from the heliport to the extended elevator shaft will be the main structures located on site. The elevator structure will need to be raised to an elevation that will allow for an appropriate gurney ramp from the heliport to the elevator to meet appropriate life safety and building codes. In addition, the access and equipment needed to meet FAA, NFPA and the Town of Vail codes will be part of the construction.

Syms & Associates and Operated The heliport is designed to be a state -of- the -art facility utilizing the latest design criteria and techniques that are fully compliant with all applicable aeronautical and safety regulations. The heliport would safely accommodate the primary air medical helicopters operated by AirLife Denver and Flight For Life Colorado as well as any of the other air medical helicopters in operation within the region. The pad will use the latest technology in LED lighting, specifically designed to meet the safety and lighting needs of the helicopter flight crews (See Exhibit C). The wind direction will be indicated by a lighted windsock that can be seen by the pilots both from the air and the heliport (See Exhibit D). The lights will not illuminate or cast beams to any off campus properties. Helicopter flight operations into and out of the heliport will be in full compliance with all FAA regulations. The heliport design will meet all fire safety and life safety criteria required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) regulations. Industry recognized helicopter safety procedures and best practices will be incorporated to the fullest extent possible. A site specific operations manual will be produced that will cover specific procedures for operations at the heliport. This will include procedures for trained security personnel and hospital staff which will assure the site is properly maintained and the area is clear of all persons during flight operations. The heliport location, design and operations plan has been modeled for making the heliport available at all times for medical emergency transport utilization. This heliport will be identified to the appropriate agencies as well as having comprehensive pilot briefing information provided for their use (See Exhibit E for an example). Such documentation will provide all the information a professional pilot would need to locate and safely operate an air medical helicopter at the proposed facility. STUDY DETERMINATIONS A.

INVENTORY OF CURRENT AVIATION FACILITIES IN THE VICINITY The closest public use aviation facilities to the VVMC property are as follows: Name Direction Direct Distance (SM) Driving Distance (SM) Est. Driving Time Round Trip ( @55 mph Avg.) Eagle Co. Regional Airport (KEGE) West 28 35 1.3 hours Lake Co. Airport (KLXV) South 29 40 -46 1.5 - 1.7 hours Mc Elroy Airfield (20V) North 28 68 2.5 hours *All distance measurements obtained using Google Earth Pro The current heliport used for the VVMC patient transports is approximately 275' away from the proposed rooftop heliport. With proper coordination and procedures either of the two heliports can easily interface the use of the common airspace. There are no issues of conflict or safety with the airport traffic of any of the above identified facilities given that standard aviation operational procedures and communication are adhered to as is dictated by Federal Aviation Regulations. This is one of the issues the FAA will include in their evaluations, which is required under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Part 157. B. AERONAUTICAL REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS 1) Federal Regulations The Federal Aviation Administration Guidelines, predominately Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5390 -2C, Heliport Design, provides guidance regarding the installation of heliports such as that proposed by the Hospital. The heliport VVMC has considered is not covered directly by the Federal Aviation Administration Regulations, which pertain predominantly to those installations designed for public -use, or publicly funded heliports. While those guidelines are not mandated by the FAA for installations other than those established as a public facility or those facilities receiving federal grant monies through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), of which this site will neither be public nor receive any AIP funding, the design of the facilities for the proposed heliport will however be taking the fullest advantage of the latest and most up -to -date safety and efficiency aspects provided for under the current FAA recommendations. HeliExperts International LLC ©2014 All Rights Reserved Page 5 VVMC Heliport Feasibility & Design Study RepZQ/2015 1 Al 7 I/ E�LIEXRERT5 INTERNATIONAL LLC, - r Veteran Ownec; Fomiorty Raymond A. Syms 6 Associates and OperaNd The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) now requires all new heliports to meet the FAA design standards in those jurisdictions that use NFPA standards for their codes. For all new and substantially modified heliports, the FAA guidelines are very detailed regarding the pad area in addition to the clear area which a site must possess to be considered adequate for the operation of a helicopter. Preliminary investigation of the proposed site reveals the proposed heliport location would have the ability to meet these parameters. Prior to any construction of a new heliport, the Vail Valley Medical Center will be required to submit notice of its proposed helipad to the FAA pursuant to Title 14 C.F.R. Part 157. Upon notification by the hospital of their desire to establish a heliport, the FAA will then initiate a study of the airspace in the vicinity of the proposed site. The FAA will ascertain whether the proposed helipad, at the site suggested, would have any detrimental effect upon the safe and efficient use of airspace. 2) State Regulations The State of Colorado does not currently regulate the establishment of a heliport of the type VVMC is now considering but rather relies entirely on the oversight and guidelines established by the FAA. 3) Local Regulations The Town of Vail has local land -use jurisdiction over the application and requires the obtaining of a conditional use permit for the proposed use. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 2011 edition of NFPA 418 "Heliport Standards" now requires a heliport to meet all the relevant portions of the FAA Heliport Design Advisory Circular for new and modified heliports. The local Fire Marshall and code officials will use that as their guide on the physical plant and operational issues dealing with any heliport application. C. PRELIMINARY SITE SELECTION CRITERIA & EVALUATIONS Sound aviation criteria as spelled out by the Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA heliport advisory circular in conjunction with community compatibility criteria demand inclusion of community -based issues at the very inception of any potential site inventory. By utilizing this as a starting point it allows for the optimization in the areas of safety, patient care, aircraft performance, compatibility, asset longevity, and community integration. Through using the experience of literally decades of helicopter operations and by applying lessons learned a method of integrating HeliExperts International LLC ©2014 All Rights Reserved Page 6 WMC Heliport Feasibility & Design Study RepZR/2015 E."tMIERTS INTERNATIONAL LLC. Veteran Owne(A Formerly Raymond A. Syms 8 Associates and Operated community- sensitive criteria while interfacing aeronautical requirements with real -life site considerations has emerged. Heliports, unlike airports, need very little ground space. This reduced need for a large area of operation improves safety while at the same time reducing the large "sound footprints" associated with many airports. This then supplements the integration of heliports into urban and suburban settings. The Hospital campus is situated in such a manner that it allows, under normal atmospheric conditions, the helicopters to limit flying over the majority of the Vail residences on the way to or from the heliport. Given the needed helicopter performance, pilots will be requested to follow the roadways and interstates at the maximum practical altitudes to the extent consistent with safety and patient welfare. D. SAFETY The proposed location possesses all of the components which meet or exceed the recognized safety standards of the FAA, as well as the aviation and air medical industries in general. This includes the complete compliance with FAA advisory circular AC 150/5390 -2C and NFPA 418 as well as Federal, state and local building codes and standards. The Touchdown and Liftoff Area (TLOF) will be expanded to meet the current advisory circular criteria for elevated heliports where the Final Approach and Takeoff (FATO) area is non -load- bearing. (See Exhibit F) Based on guidance provided in the FAA advisory circular for site elevations above 1,000 feet MSL, the Final Approach and Takeoff Area (FATO) length will be increased accordingly. (See Exhibit G) Using NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) and FAA real -life historical heliport safety data on over 40 years of records for private use hospital heliports of the type considered here; those facilities have maintained a PERFECT safety record as it relates to physical risk to any members of the general public or anyone in the surrounding community. The National Safety Council, an independent third party safety education and research organization, was used to verify this statistic (See Exhibit H). The fact is that the installation of a hospital use heliport in a community has a documented historically perfect public safety record with respect to injury of any kind to any member of the host community. No other transportation mode can make this admirable claim.

Syms 6 Associates and Operated E. COMMUNITY CONSIDERATIONS A detailed inventory of the surrounding land uses and the overall nature of the Vail Valley area has been compiled by our team members over several site visit spanning a number of years, the first of which being conducted in 1995 with a follow - on inventory in 2011 and again in 2014. This is very important for the proper helicopter access to the proposed heliport. The FAA sets very exacting criteria for heliport approach and departure paths for their issuance of a positive airspace (See Exhibit 1). Besides lateral clear areas which must be kept clear of obstacles, they also define approach angle minimums for safety along with considerations for land uses under the flight paths. The modern helicopters that will be operated at this location have excellent performance capabilities as well as a very high reliability record. These performance capabilities allow for the helicopter to climb and descend in a manner that keeps the distances from other land uses and residential properties at a maximum. Based on data compiled by Vail Valley Medical Center in a five year retrospective review from January, 2009 to December, 2013 regarding patient modes of transport, e.g. ambulance vs. helicopter, the average number of helicopter transports performed in any given year are expected to be approximately 73. This number equates to the hospital conducting approximately one air medical helicopter transport every five days. The Vail Valley Medical Center does not envision this utilization frequency to change significantly. Provided the heliport is constructed at the appropriate height above ground level, in this case approximately 75 feet, the selected site provides an excellent area for the establishment of a properly designed hospital heliport and the subsequent approach /departure paths to include an extended FATO as recommended by the FAA for elevations above 1,000' MSL (See Exhibit J). The designated primary approach and departure paths are to the west and east over the interstate (See Exhibit K). Those paths have been thoroughly vetted by HEI and Cayce Batterson, FAA Designated Pilot Examiner and Local air medical helicopter Pilot, and will also be fully reviewed by the FAA. All of the appropriate factors influencing the effects the proposed heliport may have on the surrounding community were carefully considered. The facility's site selection, design, and operational policies will have no measurable adverse impact upon the community at large. The potential effects upon the residential, office, and educational areas in the surrounding location will be minimized by the utilization of the proposed flight track which is designed to overfly commercial property and roadways. In addition, the pilots will use the helicopter manufacturers sound abatement procedures for the minimizing of the helicopter sounds.

Syms 6 Associates and Operated F. CURRENT AIRSPACE UTILIZATION & INTERFACE ISSUES The proposed heliport is located well outside of any airport traffic areas of any of the regional airfields currently in operation today. There are no evident issues of conflict or safety with the airport traffic in the vicinity which should also be confirmed by the FAA. Provided the limited difference in distance (approximately 275 feet) between the current site and the newly proposed hospital campus site, there will realistically be no fundamental difference in airspace utilization and considerations. G. CLIMATICAL CONSIDERATIONS Of primary importance in selecting an appropriate site for an aeronautical facility are the prevailing winds, cloud cover and horizontal visibility. The prevailing winds greatly influence the approach and departure routes to and from any facility. The general orientation of the touchdown area is, to some degree, also related to the prevailing wind direction. Cloud cover and visibility can, of course, affect flight operations significantly. The location and design of the heliport takes advantage of these Climatical considerations to the extent possible and no problems are perceived in this area. If weather conditions are such as to pose a safety, performance or comfort issue, flight operations will be suspended until which time conditions have improved to safely conduct operations. H. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS 1) Sounds We understand that citizens may be concerned about the level of sound associated with the operation of a private use medical heliport. There are two distinct issues involved, one being the sounds of the aircraft approaching and departing the site and the sounds produced while the aircraft is on the roof at the facility. Heliports generate essentially no noise in and of themselves; therefore the operation of the aircraft is the primary factor. Only when the aircraft is actually operating is there any sound at all. At the proposed facility, this will only occur intermittently at approximately once every 5 days based on the past five years of data, and on those occasions only for a matter of a few minutes. Noise will be experienced as a helicopter approaches the site, lands and shuts down as well as during startup and its subsequent departure. This is quite unlike other transportation modes such as streets, HeliExperts International LLC ©2014 All Rights Reserved Page 9 WMC Heliport Feasibility & Design Study RepZQ/2015 CAL1 lwEXPERTS INTERNATIONAL LLC. t.. ' Ueleran cawnea Formerly Raymond A. Syms & Associates and Operated highways, interstate road systems, commuter and freight railroads and certain major waterways, where the sound production is almost constant. Given the location of the heliport the sound of takeoffs and landings will be briefly blended with that of the surrounding roads. The sound level of the helicopter that would utilize the proposed facility is far below that of many accepted noise producers in our environment. Lawnmowers, leaf blowers, chain saws, tractors, irrigation pumps, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, motor cycles, buses, trucks, cars, all regularly produce noise levels higher than that which the average person would perceive when they hear an air medical helicopter. The relative distance, nature and intensity of the noise generated, height above the ground, type and vintage of the aircraft, sound attenuation factors of the terrain between the source and the receptor are all factors in the way sound is perceived. Older, heavier military helicopters are very different from the modern, light, efficient and much quieter civilian helicopters utilized by the vast majority of air medical helicopter providers of today. The Vail Valley Medical Center Heliport is designed primarily for the AirLife Denver and Flight For Life Colorado air medical transport program aircraft as well as the other air medical helicopters in the region of the same size and class which make up the regions Helicopter EMS transport system. The helicopters using the Vail Valley Medical Center Heliport will also use highly defined routes which are professionally designed to have the helicopter sounds blend into the existing roadway sound environment. It must be kept in mind that the proposed helicopter activity develops an extremely transitory sound during flight. The entire sound event lasts only for approximately 45 -60 seconds either on landing or takeoff. At any one point along the flight route, providing the observer is close enough to hear or notice it, the helicopter will typically only be heard for 20 seconds or less. This compares very favorably with sounds already found in most neighborhood environments. The preliminary flight paths take fullest advantage of the open area over the frontage road and Interstate highway to the north running east and west to minimize the potential effects on any other land uses. All heliport flight paths can voluntarily be restricted to the ones provided when consistent with safety and conditions. There are few active recreational or transportation activities in the modern world that are completely silent. Historically, the vast majority of heliports do not have any detrimental quality of life issues with the neighboring land -uses.

Syms 6 Associates and OperaNd 2) Exhaust Emissions, Dust and Lights Today's modern aircraft, such as the helicopters which would operate at the proposed facility, are powered by engines which produce very few pollutants. Much of this is due to the engine's high combustion temperatures and its ability to burn fuel very efficiently. Due to the low amount of emissions from helicopter turboshaft engines, the most widely used engines are exempt from Engine Emission Certification requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Authorities (ICAO) specified in the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) and ICAO Annex 16 Volume II. In layman's terms, the exhaust of the helicopter is essentially invisible and due to the temperature difference with the surrounding air it will rise and dissipate very rapidly. Another major factor is the natural dispersal of helicopter exhaust both by the helicopter's relative distance from members of the general public and effect the rotor system has on the exhaust. While there is minimal odor associated with the exhaust, it is detectable only while the helicopter is on the heliport and then only within very few feet of the helicopter. Under all proposed conditions, no member of the surrounding community would be aware of any odors or effects from the exhaust emissions during normal operations of the proposed heliport. The heliport being elevated above the ground is also a major factor for dispersal. The approach /departure paths for the helicopter at an average climb /approach speed of 60 knots (70 mph) has the helicopter spending less than 45 seconds in the climb out or approach phase. An Ambulance would need about two minutes for travel by roads for the same approximate distance providing there are no stops for traffic or traffic signals. The helicopter does not discharge or leak any oil or fuel during the normal course of operation. The likelihood of a fuel spill is very remote. All of the fuel discharges on records of the FAA and NFPA have been associated only with fueling or maintenance operations, which will not occur at this location. There are no lights associated with the heliport that will cast a beam, or light path, off the site in the surrounding neighborhood. The windsock lights, obstruction lights and lights around the heliport are designed to be glare -free and will not produce any "beams" of light for illumination off the heliport.

Syms & Associates and Operated I. FINDINGS The heliport that the applicant proposes easily meets and exceeds all of the current safety guidelines and licensing criteria of the FAA, NFPA and the aviation and air medical industries. The heliport will be available at all times, both day and night, for critical patient transport needs providing numerous benefits to the Hospital's patients as well as the general community population. The helicopters that are proposed to land at the heliport will not pose any safety hazard to the community. The evidence for this projection is found in over 50 years of heliport operational statistics and perfect safety record as it relates to such hospital heliports and the host community which has been verified by the National Safety Council. Sound levels, due to the heliport design being elevated above the ground, along with operational policies associated with the heliport all comply with all codes and good practice. It should be noted that the air medical helicopters that will use this heliport are quieter than many of the larger military style helicopters that currently fly through the area. J. RECOMMENDATIONS Hospital heliports afford access to helicopter air medical transport systems which positively impact countless lives every year. This has been proven to dramatically impact patient outcomes both in the short term as well as the long term and overall community safety. From a community prospective the actual time a helicopter will be physically approaching or departing the heliport totals only a few minutes per use. If these few minutes of time are reduced further to reflect when the air medical helicopter could be heard or seen at any one point along the route of flight, the time percentage would drop to only 10% to 30% of those few minutes. Historically, air medical heliports make good neighbors and can be of benefit to the surrounding community, especially here where helicopter services could be utilized to fill not only the obvious patient transport needs of air medical helicopters but to also be available for compassionate or emergency use requests by the community. In conclusion, the proposal to allow the applicant to establish this heliport should be favorably considered. There are essentially no negative criteria in any of the HeliExperts International LLC ©2014 All Rights Reserved Page 12 WMC Heliport Feasibility & Design Study RepZQ/2015 1 E�LIExPERT5 INTERNATIONAL LLC, VeteranOwnec; Fomiorty Raymond A. Syms 6 Associates and OperaNd operational or physical aspects of the proposal, and there are clearly a myriad of benefits to the community as a whole.

To support this mission, the Library of the National Safety Council gathers, catalogs and disseminates safety statistics, research and other information from a wide range of reputable sources. As you requested, we searched our holdings for documents detailing any injuries of persons from the general public at or in the vicinity of hospital heliports. The search located a number of documents addressing incidents resulting in injuries and fatalities to flight crew members and passengers. However, we found no accounts of hospital heliport- related injuries to members of the general public, whether from direct contact with the helicopter itself or as the result of being distracted by the helicopter while driving. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if we can be of any further assistance. � - Alaina Kolosh National Safety Council Manager, Library & Information Services 1121 SPRINQ �AK'E DRIVE • ITASCA, IL 40143 -3201 • 1630} 285 -1121 P (630) 295 -1315 F • nse.brg HeliExperts International LLC ©2014 All Rights Reserved WMC Heliport Feasibility & Design Study RepZQ/2015 making our world safer Page 22 I E +L- I�}[PERTS [IVTER6NAT11�NA'L L. �.

Syms 6 Associates and OperaNd GLOSSARY OF TERMS Approach /Departure The flight track helicopters follow when landing at or departing Path from a heliport. An approach /departure surface is centered on each approach /departure path. The approach /departure path starts at the edge of the FATO and slopes upward at 8:1 (8 units horizontal in 1 unit vertical) for a distance of 4,000 feet (1,219 m) where the width is 500 feet (152 m) at a height of 500 feet (152 m) above the heliport elevation. (D) (Formerly Overall The overall length of the helicopter, which is the dimension Length or "OL") from the tip of the main or forward rotor to the tip of the tail rotor, fin, or other rear -most point of the helicopter. This value is with the rotors at their maximum extension. See Figure B -1. If only the value of the rotor diameter (RD) is known, estimate the value for D using the relationship D = 1.2 RD (or conversely, RD = 0.83 D). Design Helicopter A single or composite helicopter that reflects the maximum weight, maximum contact load /minimum contact area, overall length (D), rotor diameter (RD), tail rotor arc radius, undercarriage dimensions, and pilot's eye height of all helicopters expected to operate at the heliport. Design Loads Design and construct the TLOF and any load- bearing surfaces to support the loads imposed by the design helicopter and any ground support vehicles and equipment. Dynamic Load For design purposes, assume the dynamic load at 150 percent of the maximum takeoff weight of the design helicopter applied through the main undercarriage on a wheel- equipped helicopter or aft contact areas of skid - equipped helicopter. Elevated Heliport A heliport located on a rooftop or other elevated structure where the TLOF is at least 30 inches (76 cm) above the surrounding surface (a ground level heliport with the TLOF on a mound is not an elevated heliport). Emergency A clear area at ground level or on the roof of a building Helicopter Landing capable of accommodating helicopters engaged in firefighting Facility (EHLF) and /or emergency evacuation operations. An EHLF meets the definition of a heliport in this AC and under Title 14 CFR Part 157.

Syms 6 Associates and OperaNd GLOSSARY OF TERMS Final Approach and A defined area over which the pilot completes the final phase Takeoff Area (FATO) of the approach to a hover or a landing and from which the pilot initiates takeoff. The FATO elevation is the lowest elevation of the edge of the TLOF. FATO Safety Area A defined area on a heliport surrounding the FATO intended to reduce the risk of damage to helicopters accidentally diverging from the FATO. Hazard to Air Any object having a substantial adverse effect upon the safe Navigation and efficient use of the navigable airspace by aircraft, upon the operation of air navigation facilities, or upon existing or planned airport /heliport capacity as determined by the FAA. Heliport The area of land, water, or a structure used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of helicopters, together with appurtenant buildings and facilities. Hospital Heliports A heliport limited to serving helicopters engaged in air ambulance, or other hospital related functions. A designated helicopter landing area located at a hospital or medical facility is a heliport and not a medical emergency site. Medical Emergency An unprepared site at or near the scene of an accident or Site similar medical emergency on which a helicopter may land to pick up a patient in order to provide emergency medical transport. A medical emergency site is not a heliport as defined by the FAA AC. Medical Emergency sites constitute a higher risk exposure than a standard heliport. Prevailing Winds Well- designed approach /departure paths permit pilots to avoid downwind conditions and minimize crosswind operations. Align the preferred flight approach /departure path, to the extent feasible, with the predominant wind direction. Obstructions In determining approach /departure paths, take into account the obstructions in the vicinity of the heliport and, in particular, those likely to be a hazard to air navigation. (RD) Rotor Diameter The length of the main rotor, from tip to tip.

The realignment of the TOV access allows for full movement accesses because the inbound left - turns do not conflict with each other. Refer to the Attachments to see the TOV access realignment concept drawing. Traffic Volumes In addition to reconfiguring the TOV access, the TOV also conducted traffic counts on the Frontage Road and at the VVMC, TOV, and Evergreen Lodge accesses on December 26 -27, 2014 (December 2014 Traffic Counts). The traffic counts were compared to the previous traffic counts and the following conclusions were drawn: • Frontage Road: The December 2014 Traffic Counts on the Frontage road were 32% to 42% lower than the year 2006 traffic volumes from the Vail Transportation Master Plan (TMP) forecasted to year 2014 (refer to Table 12 in the VVMC TIS, which is included in the Attachments). Therefore, the December 2014 Traffic Counts on the Frontage Road were used in the revised traffic analysis. • VVMC Traffic: The December 2014 Traffic Counts at the VVMC accesses were 2% to 14% lower than the traffic counts conducted on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 (February 2014 Traffic Counts). The lower counts in December 2014 reflect that the VVMC clinics are closed on holidays and weekends and that weekdays are higher for the VVMC. Therefore, the February 2014 Traffic Counts at the VVMC accesses were used in the revised traffic analysis. Traffic Analysis Table 1 shows the results of the revised traffic analysis for year 2018 (Opening Year) conditions. The Attachments contain the Synchro and SimTraffic Analysis output.

It is anticipated that sometime between years 2025 and 2030 the full movement accesses will fail (i.e. one or more movements will be LOS F and /or the westbound left -turn queue will extend back into the thru lane). • The left -turn storage lengths shown on the concept drawing: o Eastbound left -turn into the TOV access — the length of this lane could be longer depending on what is needed for the westbound left -turn lane at the main Evergreen Lodge access, but the current length of 100 -ft shown on the concept drawing should be adequate. o Westbound left -turn into the VVMC access — 150 -ft will be adequate in year 2018, but will need to be longer to provide acceptable traffic operations thru year 2025. The taper shown on the concept drawing could be reduced from 125 -ft to 50 -ft, which would allow for a 225 -ft left -turn lane.

The Appendix contains tables that show the traffic volumes at the Study Area intersections. 4.1 Background Traffic Volumes 4.1.1 Frontage Road Traffic Volumes 4.1.1.1 Existing Year 2014 The existing year 2014 Frontage Road traffic volumes are based on the traffic counts conducted in February 2014. The Frontage Road traffic volumes from the February 2014 traffic count were compared to the traffic volumes from 1) the 2009 Vail Transportation Master Plan Update (Vail TMP), 2) the Vail MOB TIS prepared in November 2012 by Turn Key Consulting, and 3) the MOB and Municipal Center Roundabout Analysis memo prepared in October 2012 by FHU. Table 12 shows the traffic volume comparison. Table 12 — Compare Frontage Road Traffic Volumes Peak Hour Direction Year 2006 (Vail TMP) Year 2014 (Calculated) Note 1 Year 2014 (traffic count in Feb 2014 Year 2025 (Vail TMP) Year 2032 (TOV Info) AM EB 395 475 193 Not included in Vail TMP 605 WB 585 704 265 880 Total 980 1,178 458 1,485 EB 815 980 359 1,202 1,160 PM WB 600 722 274 992 985 Total 1,415 1,701 633 2,194 2,145 Notes: 1. The year 2014 Frontage Road traffic volumes were calculated using a straight -line growth between the years 2006 and 2025 traffic volumes in the Vail TMP. The annual growth rate (AGR) between years 2006 and 2025 traffic volumes in the Vail TMP was 2.34% per year. Table 12 shows that the year 2014 traffic counts are 62% lower than the year 2014 traffic volumes calculated using the years 2006 and 2035 traffic volumes from the Vail TMP. In addition, the 2014 traffic counts are 54% lower than the year 2006 traffic volumes from the Vail TMP. Because of the significant difference between traffic volume sources, the Frontage Road traffic volumes based on the Vail TMP were used so that this TIS is consistent with the Vail TMP. The traffic volumes in the Vail TMP are based on traffic data "collected over a variety of times including the Christmas holiday, Martin Luther King weekend, Presidents Day weekend, and Spring Break times in 2005 and 2006." (Page 4 of the Vail TMP). Figure 11 shows the adjusted year 2014 traffic volumes. � TurnKe Page 26 2/3/2015 Consulting, LLC VVMC Master Plan TIS Lanes, Volumes, Timings Year 2018 - East End (Const Completed) - Full Mvmt Accesses 1: VVMC Access & 170 South FR � � t Lane Group EBL EBT EBR WBL WBT WBR NBL NBT NBR SBL SBT SBR Lane Configurations 1� t r r Volume (vph) 2 298 21 191 447 39 9 0 53 5 0 3 Ideal Flow (vphpl) 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 1900 Lane Width (ft) 12 12 12 14 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 Storage Length (ft) 100 0 150 0 0 0 0 0 Storage Lanes 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 Taper Length (ft) 50 100 25 25 Satd.

(PEC140011) Applicant: Vail Valley Medical Center, represented by Braun and Associates Planner: Warren Campbell SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC), represented by Braun and Associates, is requesting the adoption of the Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan to establish a comprehensive redevelopment plan for the Vail Valley Medical Center located at 181 and 281 West Meadow Drive and 108 South Frontage Road West. To that end, the applicant is requesting a public hearing with the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) for the following: • A final recommendation on Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, for the adoption of the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan (VVMC MP) to the Vail Town Council. • A final recommendation on Resolution No. 4, Series of 2015, proposing amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan to establish a new land use category and designate properties within that category on the Vail Land Use Plan map. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VI of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission forwards recommendation of approval, with modifications, to the Vail Town Council for the adoption of the VVMC MP and a recommendation that the Commission forwards recommendation of approval, to the 2/3/2015 Vail Town Council for the adoption of amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan subject to the findings noted in Section VII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The VVMC is proposing to establish a comprehensive redevelopment master plan for the VVMC which encompasses three parcels totaling approximately 4.57 acres in size. The VVMC is an aging facility in need of expansion and remodeling in order to keep pace with the increasing types of services provided and modern medical practice and equipment needs. The proposed VVMC MP and associated Vail Land Use Plan amendment, if adopted, would facilitate and provide direction for the future redevelopment of the campus. There are currently efforts underway regarding the potential of an exchange of land between the Evergreen Lodge, VVMC, and potentially the Town of Vail. This exchange of land, if accomplished, is believed to further the goal of redeveloping and modernizing the VVMC. The proposed VVMC MP speaks to this land exchange and the resulting outcomes and recommendations for the campus should the exchange occur. The VVMC MP facilitates many goals of not only the hospital, but the community including: • A relocation of the main access to the hospital from to the South Frontage Road for emergency vehicles, visitors, patients, and employees. • Improvements to the loading and delivery for the VVMC through the inclusion of an enclosed managed facility. • Relocation of the emergency helipad to the VVMC campus, improving the provision of this service to critical patients and removing the emergency helipad from the 1 -70 corridor right -of -way. • Provision of adequate parking to service the uses occurring within the VVMC. • Modernization of the VVMC facilities. • Relocation of the emergency helipad to the VVMC site. • Establishment of an on -site enclosed loading and delivery facility. • Relocation of emergency vehicle, patient, and visitor access from West Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road to reduce vehicular trips on West Meadow Drive. • Identification of South Frontage Road vehicular improvements to address access and traffic flows for adjacent properties and thru traffic. • Establishment of a north /south pedestrian path through the site. • Improvements to the Middle Creek riparian corridor. • Provision of adequate on -site parking which meets parking requirements. • Screening and relocation of mechanical equipment to the roof or centralized utility plant. • Identification of appropriate locations for future growth and expansion to address the need to ensure the community's long -term health care needs. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 2 While the VVMC MP is titled a master plan, it is more appropriate to think of the document as something more specific than a traditional master plan for several reasons. These include: • The scope and land use of the site being master planned. • The specialized nature of a medical facility in terms of space needs for various users, need for certain users to be adjacent to other users, internal circulation patterns, etc. • The need to have a greater level of certainty as to where a specialized land use such as an emergency helipad needs to be located. • The anticipated time frame for implementation of the master plan. o The fact that the VVMC is anticipating submittal of the first CUP for the west wing expansion prior to the adoption of the master plan. • The need to allow for the continued operation of the VVMC throughout all sequences of redevelopment. A copy of the proposed VVMC MP is attached for reference (Attachment A). A copy of a draft of Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, adopting the VVMC MP is attached for reference (Attachment B). The VVMC is proposing text and map amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan in order to update the Plan should the VVMC MP be adopted. The proposed amendments are intended to facilitate the redevelopment of the VVMC campus through the guidance of the VVMC MP. The proposed amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan include: • A text amendment to add a new land use category describing the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan; and • An amendment to the Land Use Plan map to designate the properties addressed by the VVMC MP. The following master plan text amendment creating the VVMC MP land use category is proposed. Text to be added is shown in bold italics and text to be deleted is shown in strikethro igh: VVMC MP — Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan Included in this category are those properties which are identified as being within the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan study area boundaries. Properties located within this land use category shall be encouraged to redevelop consistent with the Master Plan, in order for the Vail Valley Medical Center to remain a viable and modern facility providing long term quality health care to the community. The range of uses and activities appropriate in the VVMC MP land use category may include healthcare facilities, professional and business offices, Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 3 emergency services, emergency helipads, parking and loading /delivery facilities /structures, public utilities, accessory eating and drinking uses, and accessory uses commonly associated with healthcare facilities. A copy of draft Resolution No. 4, Series of 2015, adopting the Vail Land Use Plan Amendments is attached for review (Attachment C). III. BACKGROUND The idea for a master plan for the VVMC campus rose out of the municipal site redevelopment project. During discussions regarding the municipal site project, a number of land planning opportunities and facility improvement needs were identified. While the municipal site redevelopment project is no longer being actively pursued by the VVMC and the Town of Vail, the need for certain facility improvements on the VVMC campus remains and opportunities for better land planning still exists. Through previous communications with the Town, VVMC has been given conceptual approval to explore master planning options and ideas which may include the use of certain town owned land. No final decisions on that matter, however, have been reached. On April 8, 2013, the applicant presented conceptual ideas for the creation of the master plan and received input from the Planning and Environmental Commission on the types of issues which needed to be addressed by the Plan. A significant amount of time and thought has gone into addressing on -site and off -site traffic circulation, determining the parking need, options for addressing the parking need (both on -site and off - site), loading and delivery options, and construction sequencing. Additionally, further investigation has gone into the potential use of the municipal site and /or Lot 10 to help address the physical and spatial needs of the Vail Valley Medical Center. On May 12, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing to address the planning process, background work that has been completed to date, planning considerations, the format of the master plan document, opportunities for public participation, and a schedule of next steps. In August of 2014, the Vail Town Council and the VVMC decided to exclude the town's municipal site in the VVMC MP as a potential site for parking to meet the requirements of the medical campus. On September 8, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing where an introduction to the proposed VVMC MP was presented. The Commission recommended that the project move forward with a clear agenda of topics to be covered at each hearing. This would allow the public to decide in advanced to attend and participate in those elements of the VVMC MP which most interested them. On September 22, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing where the topic of loading and delivery was presented and discussed. The discussion involved gaining a better understanding of the loading and delivery Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 4 operations and needs and clarification of the user groups proposed to be relocated to the new front door. No conclusion on the appropriateness of loading and delivery access off of West Meadow Drive was reached. On October 13, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing where the topics of loading and delivery, parking, traffic and circulation, bulk, mass, architecture, Middle Creek, and employee housing were discussed. Feedback was provided on each of these topical areas as can be found in the meeting results. On October 27, 2014, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing where the topic of the emergency helipad was discussed. Experts representing the VVMC and the Town of Vail presented at the hearing the reasons for the location of the facility and compliance with adopted regulations and guidelines with regard to safe operation. Feedback was provided on each of these topical areas as can be found in the meeting results. On November 24, 2014 and January 12, 2015, the Planning and Environmental Commission held public hearings to receive updates on the review of the CUP application for the west wing redevelopment, the land exchange discussions, and South Frontage Road traffic improvements. IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Vail Land Use Plan (in Dart The Vail Land Use Plan was initiated in 1985 and adopted in 1986 by the Vail Town Council. The main purpose of the Land Use Plan is two -fold: To articulate the land use goals of the Town. 2. To serve as a guide for decision making by the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a basis from which future land use decisions may be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined to indicate general types of land uses which are then used to develop the Vail Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature, but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision making. Where the land use categories and zoning conflict, existing zoning controls development on a site. Sub - section 8.3.0 of the Vail Land Use Plan outlines the amendments procedures for proposed changes to the Plan. The amendment process is one which is intended to assure the Plan's effectiveness with periodic updates to reflect current thinking and Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 5 changing market conditions. The process includes amendments which may be initiated in any of the following three ways: A. By the Community Development Department B. By the Planning and Environmental Commission or Town Council C. By the Private Sector Pursuant to Sub - section 8.3.C.2, in part, (an application initiated by the private sector), "Such applications will be considered at a meeting with the PEC. At the PEC public hearing, a recommendation shall be made to the Town Council, whereupon a decision shall then be rendered. To change the by this procedure, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to clearly demonstrate how conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted, how the Plan is in error, or how the addition, deletion, or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general. Such decision may include approval, approval with conditions, or denial. Amendments may be requested for changes to the goals and policies and /or Land Use Plan map. If such request is approved, such change shall be made to the Plan document and /or map. If such request is denied, no such request that is substantially the same as that previously denied shall be considered for a period of one year. " An amendment to the Vail Land Use Plan shall be approved by the Vail Town Council upon passage of a resolution. V. STAFF REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING THE VVMC MP To date there have been numerous work sessions with the Planning and Environmental Commission which broke the proposed master plan down into multiple topical areas for discussion. In reviewing this final VVMC MP staff reviewed the previous staff memorandums and PEC meeting results to ascertain if all elements were addressed. Changes recommended by staff to the Master Plan text are depicted with bold and strikethrou h to indicate added text and deleted text. OVERALL VVMC MP The applicant has included in the final draft a clearly defined role for the master plan in guiding future redevelopment on the VVMC site. This role is elaborated upon in Chapter 1 — Introduction. The VVMC MP has been amended to include an italicized and underlined goal statement at the start of each topical area to be considered and addressed through the subsequent redevelopment review of the VVMC campus. The text following each goal statement elaborates on potential pathways to consider in addressing each statement. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 6 A number of changes have been made to the figures included within the document. First, several images were revised to ensure consistency and accuracy. New figures were added to more clearly address elements such as bulk and mass, the emergency helipad, sequencing of the project, potential land exchange concept, etc. New to the final draft of the VVMC MP is the inclusion of a discussion regarding the potential for a land exchange. Chapter 10 was specifically included to capture the changes that would result should a land exchange proceed forward as anticipated. DOCUMENT COVER The final adopted document should reflect Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015, as the adopting resolution. The dates identifying the initial submittal and subsequent revisions shall be removed from the final document. TABLE OF CONTENTS The title for Chapter 8 shall be revised to state Emergency Helipad. This amendment will reflect the adopted land use as found in the Article12 -9C, General Use District, Vail Town Code. Within the appendix, the Preliminary Heliport Feasibility & Design Study Report prepared by HeliExperts International, LLC, shall identify the amended date of January 15, 2015. CHAPTER 1 — INTRODUCTION Page 2 In paragraph 2 of the left column, the following sentence shall be amended as follows: Far more detailed information on the design, operation and management of future hospital development will be provided during subsequent steps in the Town's development review process. In the first paragraph of the right column the document shall cite Resolution No. 3, Series of 2015 as the adopting resolution. At the conclusion of the first paragraph of the right column, the text states that future amendments to the VVMC MP will be in accordance with the Town's adopted polices. Staff suggests the following change to the text. The proposed text more clearly defines which process is to be followed, who can initiate an amendment, and the criteria for review of an amendment.

Factors to consider in any amendment proposal include: 1. How conditions have change since the Plan was adopted, 2. How the Plan is in error, or 3. How the addition, deletion or change to the Plan is in concert with the Plan in general CHAPTER 2 — BACKGROUND ON THE VVMC Pursuant to a comment from staff in September, the VVMC MP has included greater detail on the economic impacts of the VVMC within this chapter. Page 5 Figure 3 shall be amended to change the title of the legend for the exhibit from "Land Use Designations" to "Existing Land Uses" in order to eliminate any confusion with the town's adopted land use categories and designations. CHAPTER 3 — MASTER PLANNING PROCESS AND MASTER PLAN GOALS Within this chapter is a list of 13 development objectives provided by the Town to be addressed within the VVMC MP. Staff believes these development objectives have been addressed in the Master Plan. CHAPTER 4 — OVERVIEW OF EXPANSION PLANS AND DESIGN CONSDIERATIONS Within this chapter is a discussion of the bulk, mass, height, architecture, relationships to adjacent properties and streets, and relationship to Middle Creek. A number of amendments were made to this chapter to address the inclusion of additional imagery to support the text and additional text to clearly address the role of the General Use Zone District and Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum in the review of future Conditional Use Permit applications. Page 11 The paragraph discussing the West Wing Expansion shall cite Figure 8 to provide a graphic representation of the text. The paragraphs discussing the New East Wing and the New Emergency Helipad Building shall cite Figure 9 to provide a graphic representation of the text. Page 14 Paragraph 2 of the right column has been amended to speak to several design elements of the on -site emergency helipad. It sets a clear expectation that the design and height of the elevated emergency helipad will not impact the development potential of neighboring properties. Furthermore, it speaks to a need for a height which is Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 8 "consistent" with other structures along the South Frontage Road. It concludes with language speaking to the need to implement any number of strategies to reduce the impact of the emergency helipad building and integrate it into the site by stepping the building forms. Paragraph 3 of the right column shall cite Figure 9 not page 15 in order to be clearer with the intent of the text. Page 15 Figures 7, 8, and 9 shall be enlarged to more clearly depict the massing models accompanying the text. Page 17 The text beneath the Pedestrian Circulation heading shall be amended to include language stating that the pedestrian access needs to be ADA compliant. Page 18 The text beneath the Middle Creek heading shall be amended to identify the need for any proposal altering the west parking lot to comply with any adopted policies or regulations with regard to the preservation and improvement of the Gore Creek and its tributaries. CHAPTER 5 — VVMC'S NEW "FRONT DOOR ", MEADOW DRIVE DELIVERY /SERVICE Chapter 5 focuses on the establishment of a new "Front Door" on the frontage road with the goal of reducing /eliminating vehicular trips from West Meadow Drive. Discussions at previous public hearings have included the review of the traffic study and a memorandum analyzing delivery and service vehicles on West Meadow Drive. The relocation of the vehicular trips generated by patients, guest, and emergency vehicles from West Meadow Drive to the South Frontage Road has been demonstrated to be an overall reduction in 96% of the average daily trips. The VVMC MP identifies that delivery and service vehicles will continue to utilize West Meadow Drive which will have an impact of 56 trips on the peak day or 9% of the current traffic volumes. While staff believes there are valid reasons for loading and delivery to utilize West Meadow Drive (found on page 20) the recent potential for a land exchange may present an opportunity to reevaluate the ability for the loading and delivery to utilize the South Frontage Road. Page 20 Staff recommends the text beneath the heading of Alternative To Delivery And Service be amended to include language speaking to the need to evaluate the ability for delivery and service vehicles to gain access to the site via the South Frontage Road in the review of the east and west wing expansion conditional use permit applications should the land exchange occur. Including exploration of a shared facility with the Evergreen Lodge. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 9 Staff recommends the text beneath the heading of The West Day Lot Design Parameters be amended to strike the word "occasional" from the description of the provision of delivery spaces for WB -40 or larger trucks. Pursuant to the loading and delivery study it was indicated 9 of these sized vehicles occur in a week. Staff believes 9 visits per week for a WB -40 is not occasional. Staff recommends the text beneath the heading of The West Day Lot Design Parameters be amended to include a statement that the provision of a space for larger loading and delivery vehicles will be separate from the vehicular parking area and will not block parking spaces. Page 21 In the right column under the heading Delivery Facility Management Plan in the final bullet, move "etc." to the conclusion of the sentence. CHAPTER 6 — TRAFFIC /SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD The development of concepts for both an interim solution and final solution for vehicular improvements to the South Frontage Road has taking several months and involvement by many parties. The concepts included within the VVMC MP will need further refinement and review, but it is believed that they will address the need for access to all adjacent properties during, and at the conclusion of, the redevelopment of one or all the properties. Page 22 In order to be more clear about the process needing to occur, staff recommends the third bullet of the left column be amended as follows: Evaluate if emergency vehicle access to VVMC is appropriate and compliant via the new main access off of the South Frontage Road, including westbound left turn into VVMC. Page 23 Figure 11 shall be amended to include the depiction of a pedestrian circulation route along the southern edge of the South Frontage Road from the Main Vail Roundabout west past Middle Creek. Page 25 In the first paragraph of the left column, the text shall be amended as follows: Subject to CDOT approvals, construction of the roundabout woul will occur after completion of the East Wing and VVMC's new Front Door at the South Frontage Road. In paragraph 2 of the right column, the citation to Figure 12 for the interim access design is incorrect. It shall cite Figure 13. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 10 Page 27 Under the heading of Parking Requirements of Master Plan and Expansion as there is no conversation about what happens when the areas are recompressed, which may very well happen again, staff suggests deleting the following sentence. Additionally, a sentence shall be added to the text noting that the future provision of required parking for the VVMC campus will not include the use of the Town's parking structures off -site. CHAPTER 7 — PARKING Staff response: The VVMC MP includes a discussion for the various approaches that could be taken to address the parking generation for the VVMC. At a public hearing discussing these approaches, it was felt that the best approach would be more of needs based calculation. The VVMC MP clearly states that parking generation will be a part of each conditional use permit review. CHAPTER 8 — HELIPAD Staff response: There have been a number of amendments made within this chapter to address: • Concerns of adjacent properties regarding safety; • Concerns of adjacent properties regarding impacts to development rights; • Feedback from the town's helicopter expert; and • Feedback from the Planning and Environmental Commission. Those amendments include, but are not limited to: • Elevation of the emergency helipad atop a structure; • Incorporation of on -site weather monitoring equipment; and • Relocation of the emergency helipad to adjust to approach and take off paths. The Vail Valley Medical Center Preliminary Heliport Feasibility and Design Study Report prepared by HeliExperts is included in the appendices of the VVMC MP in order to provide a greater level of comment, design input, and clarity around the FAA regulations and guidelines regarding emergency helipads. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 11 Page 30 The third paragraph of the left column shall be amended to cite Figure 16 on page 31. Page 31 Under the heading Future Steps In The Review Of Emergency Helipad, text shall be added citing the need for an Environmental Impact Report in conjunction with the submittal of the conditional use permit application for review. CHAPTER 9 — OTHER CONSIDERATIONS This chapter includes discussions regarding the provision of employee housing and future steps that need to be taken to effect the redevelopment of the VVMC Campus. With regard to employee housing the plan speaks to the need to comply with the town's adopted regulations in conjunction with the conditional use permit review process. Furthermore, it cites two reasons as to why the provision of on -site employee housing is inappropriate. On October 13, 2014, members of the Commission where asked the following question: Does the Planning and Environmental Commission agree with the concept that employee housing on -site may be incompatible with the functions occurring on- site, which would be thoroughly reviewed for compliance with the Chapter 12 -23, Commercial Linkage, Vail Town Code, in conjunction with the review of the conditional use permit review of the development plan? In response to this question, the Commission indicated that it was felt that on -site employee housing was not compatible or appropriate pursuant to Section 12 -23 -6, Methods of Mitigation, Vail Town Code. Pursuant to this section the applicant must demonstrate to the Planning and Environmental Commission that one of the 4 (four) can be met. 12 -23 -6: METHODS OF MITIGATION: A. For all new construction (i.e., development that does not affect any existing buildings or structures) and demo /rebuild projects that result in a mitigation requirement of 1.25 employees or greater, no less than one -half (112) the mitigation of employee housing required by this chapter shall be accomplished with on site units. Exceptions: At the sole discretion of the applicable governing body, an exception may be granted from this subsection based upon one of the following findings: a. Implementation of the on site unit mitigation method would be contrary to the intent and purpose of the applicable zone district. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 12 b. Implementation of the on site unit mitigation method would be contrary to the goals of the applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan and the town's development objectives. c. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions apply to the site that prevents the implementation of the on site unit mitigation method. d. The method of mitigation proposed better achieves the intent and purpose of this chapter and general and specific purposes of this title than the on site mitigation unit method. The final paragraph of the Employee Housing section of the VVMC MP indicates that responses to the requirements of the Commercial Linkage Chapter will be provided in conjunction with future development applications. The review of each conditional use permit will need to address the requirements of Chapter 12 -23, Commercial Linkage, Vail Town Code. Chapter 9 concludes with discussion of the future steps that would be taken in order to implement the Master Plan. These include: • Minor subdivision to combine properties; • A Zone District Boundary Amendment to change existing zoning; • Amendments to the Vail Transportation Master Plan; • Discussions to determine the future of Lot 10 in any redevelopment proposal; • Applications to CDOT; and • Conditional use permit applications for each sequence of development. CHAPTER 10 — POTENTIAL LAND EXCAHNGE WITH EVERGREEN LODGE Chapter 10 has been added to the VVMC MP with the intent of capturing the results of a land exchange should it occur. It is important to note that the Vail Town Council permitted the potential future of Lot 10 to be discussed through this process, however, made no determination on its ability to be redeveloped. Should a land exchange occur there would need to be a series of additional future steps taken to implement the Master Plan. These include: • Minor subdivision to exchange property; • Zone District Boundary Amendments to change existing zoning; and • Lionshead redevelopment Master Plan amendments to establish direction for the redevelopment of the Evergreen. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 13 VI. CRITERIA ADOPTION OF A MASTER PLAN The adoption of a new master plan needs to be in concert with the Town of Vail's Comprehensive Master Plan and Zoning Code. The adopted master plan shall support, strengthen, and further the development objectives of the town. The proposed VVMC MP will establish a site specific redevelopment plan for the VVMC campus. In reviewing the proposed Master Plan, staff considered the following: • Applicable goals and objectives of the Vail Land Use Plan; • The general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations. • The purpose statement of the General Use District; • Vail Transportation Master Plan; • Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum. Vail Land Use Plan The goal statements which staff believes are applicable and supportive of the review and adoption of the VVMC MP are as follows: 1.0 General Growth /Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tract as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use. 2.0 Skier /Tourist Concerns 2.2 The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work together closely to make existing facilities and the Town function more efficiently. Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 14 3.0 Commercial 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 4.0 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. 4.4 The connection between the Village Core and Lionshead should be enhanced through: a) Installation of a new type of people mover. b) Improving the pedestrian system with a creatively designed connection, oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and /or sculpture plaza. c) New development should be controlled to limit commercial uses. 5.0 Residential 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail with appropriate restrictions. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. 6. Community Services 6.1. Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2. The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3. Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Zoning Code The general and specific purpose statements which staff believes are applicable and supportive of the review and adoption of the VVMC MP are as follows: 12 -1 -2: Purpose: Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 15 A. General: These regulations are enacted for the purpose of promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of high quality. B. Specific: These regulations are intended to achieve the following more specific purposes: 1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public facilities. 2. To secure safety from fire, panic, flood, avalanche, accumulation of snow, and other dangerous conditions. 3. To promote safe and efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and to lessen congestion in the streets. 4. To promote adequate and appropriately located off street parking and loading facilities. 5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and economic values. 6. To encourage a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development objectives. 7. To prevent excessive population densities and overcrowding of the land with structures. 8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town. 9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and other desirable natural features. 11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. General Use District 12 -9C -1: Purpose: The general use district is intended to provide sites for public and quasi - public uses which, because of their special characteristics, cannot be appropriately regulated by the development standards prescribed for other zoning districts, and for which development standards especially prescribed for each particular development proposal or project are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed in section 12 -1 -2 of this title and to provide for the public welfare. The general use district is intended to ensure that public buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi - public uses permitted in the district are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 16 to harmonize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of buildings and other structures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses. Vail Transportation Master Plan The Vail Transportation Master Plan identified the following which staff believes the proposed VVMC MP support: • Establishment of a Frontage Road improvements plan from which to develop appropriate transportation improvement projects for the Town's primary road system. • Develop a Frontage Road Access Management Plan with support from CDOT for all future access points along the North and South Frontage Roads. • Maintaining mobility throughout Town such that peak hour traffic operations are at a LOS C during ideal conditions and LOS D during snowy conditions. • Accommodate pedestrian and bicycle activity throughout town. Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum The Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum identifies multiple improvements which should be implemented along the frontage West Meadow Drive shared with the VVMC. Chapter 4 of the VVMC MP identifies that this plan will be integral to the review of any redevelopment proposal. VAIL LAND USE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT The following are the criteria to be used in the review of private sector proposed amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan. 1) How conditions have changed since the Plan was adopted; The Vail Land Use Plan Map currently identifies the four properties within the study area boundaries of the VVMC MP as one of three different land use categories. The US Bank property is designated Resort Accommodations and Service, the approximately 10,000 square feet of property along the South Frontage Road acquired from the Evergreen is designated Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, and the VVMC parcel and the Town owned Lot 10 are designated Transition. These categories are described as follows: T Transition The transition designation applies to the area between Lionshead and the Vail Village. The activities and site design of this area is aimed at encouraging pedestrian flow through the area and strengthening the connection between the two commercial cores. Appropriate activities include hotels, lodging and other tourist oriented residential units, ancillary retail and restaurant uses, museums, Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 17 areas of public art, nature exhibits, gardens, pedestrian plazas, and other types of civic and culturally oriented uses, and the adjacent properties to the north. This designation would include the right -of -way of West Meadow Drive and the adjacent properties to the north. LRMP Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Included in this category are those properties which are identified as being included in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan boundaries. Properties located within this land use category shall be encouraged to redevelop, per the Master Plan recommendations, as it has been found that it is necessary in order for Vail to remain a competitive four - season resort. Uses and activities for these areas are intended to encourage a safe, convenient and an aesthetically - pleasing guest experience. The range of uses and activities appropriate in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (LRMP) land use category may include skier and resort services, ski lifts, ski trails, base facilities, public restrooms, ticket sales, clubs, public plazas, open spaces, parking and loading /delivery facilities /structures, public utilities, residential, lodges, accommodation units, deed restricted employee housing, retail businesses, professional and business offices, personal services, and restaurant uses. RAS Resort Accommodations and Service This area includes activities aimed at accommodating the overnight and short - term visitor to the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges, service stations, and parking structures (with densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50 accommodation units per buildable acre). Several conditions have changed which warrant the proposed amendments to the Vail Land Use Plan. The VVMC has identified a need to adopt a master plan which will provide a long term vision for the redevelopment of the VVMC campus. Furthermore the VVMC campus has expanded to include the US Bank Building and the 10,000 square foot parcel from the Evergreen Lodge. The proposed adoption of a VVMC MP land use category is an effort to more clearly define and establish a direction for the redevelopment of the parcels comprising the VVMC campus. It is the intent of the VVMC to pursue the direction provided for in the VVMC MP with an immediate sequence of applications and construction, should the plan be adopted. The future inclusion of the Town -owned Lot 10 in any redevelopment proposal is undetermined at this juncture, only that its adjacency to the VVMC campus redevelopment will impact the VVMC campus. Any proposed changes to Lot 10 will require Town Council approval and be reviewed through the appropriate process. The proposed amendments to establish a new land use category will clearly identify the appropriate guiding documents in evaluating applications and making decisions for the properties included within the VVMC MP study area boundaries. If adopted, the VVMC Town of Vail 2/3/2015 Page 18 MP, will change existing conditions as there will be a site specific master plan for the four properties proposed for inclusion within the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Master Plan land use category. Staff finds that there is a change in conditions which warrant the proposed amendments. 2) How the Plan in error; or Staff finds the Vail Land Use Plan is not in error. 3) How the addition, deletion, or change to the Plan are in concert with the Plan in general. Staff has found the following goals of the Vail Land Use Plan to be in concert with the proposed establishment of the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Master Plan land use category and associated amendment of the Vail Land Use Plan Map. The goal statements which staff believes are applicable and supportive of the review and adoption of amendments to the Vail land Sue Plan are as stated above on pages 14 and 15 beneath the Vail Land Use Plan heading. Staff finds that the proposed text additions and land use map changes are in concert with the plan in general. VII.

C-) The above graphic shows improvements that VHA recommends for inclusion in the proposed VVMC Master Plan. DRAFT 12/07/14 The following is a summary of VHA recommended text changes to the proposed Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan. The specific text recommended for change are indicted in red bolded type face with yellow highlighting and are incorporated in the language of the VVMC draft. A copy of the origi_ nal VVMC language is attached identifying where the VHA recommended language is to be inserted. The VHA language may also require the adjustment of accompanying graphics. The following recommendations are consistent with the Vail Homeowners goals for the VVMC Master Plan to improve public safety and the compatibility of its relationship with the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The recommendations are consistent with the opinions obtained from neighborhood property owners over the course of the last several years as the VVMC master plan and related projects have evolved during that time. 1 2/3/2015 1. The VVMC Master Plan may be subject to amending modifications. A Master Plan amendment may be initiated by VVMC, TOV or private sector. The private sector includes Vail residents and property owners. VHA proposed text: The VVMC master plan may be subject to modification as adjacent properties, including the Evergreen Lodge, the Town of Vail Municipal Building and others prepare master plans for their own properties. The VVMC master plan, is not intended to dominate, put at disadvantage or predetermine the outcome of master plans for the West Meadow Drive neighborhood and other adjacent or effected properties." Economic impacts are not to be considered if used as a factor in the negation of citizens and property owners rights to initiate and participate in the master planning process, or to set aside public safety, property rights, and quality of life concerns for those directly affected by this Master Plan. TOV response: As drafted the VVMC MP has been written so as to not predetermine the future master planning efforts of any adjacent property. For example, it states in Chapter 8 that the emergency helipad design cannot negatively impact the development rights of the Evergreen property. It is possible that during the review any future master planning effort it may be recognized that amendments may need to be made to an existing master plan. In such cases, applications for amendments can be submitted pursuant to the staff recommended text changes to Chapter 1 Page 2 of the VVMC MP (found in attached memorandum). The protection of established economic values are one of the specific purposes contain within the Vail Town Zoning Code and would be considered under criterion 1 of the adopted review criteria for a conditional use permit applications which will be required for the redevelopment of the VVMC campus. However, economic impacts would be considered with the perspective of preserving "established community qualities and economic values ". Additionally, there is 1 general purpose and 11 specific purposes which would also be considered and balanced in any review (see page 15 and 16 of staff's memorandum for the Purposes of the Zoning Code). Staff does not believe it is necessary to amend the text in full as addressed above based upon the adopted conditional use permit review criteria which follow: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. 2 2/3/2015 2. The Master Planning process as described in the VVMC draft is incomplete as it impacts the surrounding neighborhood. VHA proposed text: However, this approach does not fully address the compatibility issues with adjacent property and the surrounding neighborhood and therefore is subject to modification as conflict are identified through a collaborative interaction with those who are most directly affected. TOV response: As drafted the VVMC MP has been written so as to not create any compatibility issues with any adjacent properties. The criteria listed above apply to any future conditional use permit application. Staff believes the adopted criteria address compatibility and relationship impacts between adjacent properties. 3. The VVMC Master Plan process was organized and executed in Six (6) major stages: VHA proposed text: 6. VVMC Master Plan is subject to modified for compatibility with master plans that are prepared and adopted for adjacent properties and the surround neighborhood. TOV response: See response to recommended change number 1 above, regarding CUP criteria considered during review. 4. Master Plan Goals and Objectives: VHA proposed text: 3. Master Planning This category of goals and objectives ensured the Master Plan includes flexibility to respond to future conditions, implementation strategies and compatible with master plans of those prepared and adopted for adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood, without resort to diminishment of their property rights or quality of life. TOV response: See response to recommended change number 1 above, regarding CUP criteria considered during review. S. Goals identified as the primary goals and objectives of the VVHA Master Plan to be addressed in future expansion plans. VHA proposed text: • Relocate all vehicular traffic to South Frontage Road • Provide direct connection between Emergency Department and helipad respecting the public safety, quality of life and property rights of neighbors. • Provide adequate and convenient parking for patients, visitors, staff and deliveries. • Optimize access and way- finding for patients, visitors and service providers. • Create a flexible framework to accommodate future 3 2/3/2015 unforeseen changes, which respect the public safety, quality of life and property rights of neighbors. Accommodate appropriate medical office space on campus in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent residential use. TOV response: See response to recommended change number 1 above, regarding CUP criteria considered during review. 6. Issues to be addressed in the VVMC Master Plan. VHA proposed text: 13. Screening and enclosure of mechanical equipment to eliminate off site environmental impacts, such as noise, odor, blight and the like. 14. Compatibility with the neighborhood. TOV response: Page 13 of the VVMC MP contains a section entitled Mechanical Systems which speaks to relocation and consolidation of mechanical in a central utility plant which will be enclosed. Mechanical equipment on the roof top will be screened. The existing mechanical on West Meadow Drive will be removed in conjunction with the East Wing construction. 7. Expansion Plans and Improvements VHA proposed text: VVMC currently has approximately 201,000sf of gross floor area (exclusive of parking garages). Expansion plans will increase square footage by approximately 50 %, with the total square foot- age of the campus growing to approximately 300,OOOs£ Expan- sions will occur in three primary areas — additions to the West Wing, construction of an entirely new East Wing and construction of a new helipad building on the north side of the campus along South Frontage Road, subject to neighborhood master planning and public safety issues or concerns. TOV response: See response to recommended change number 1 above, regarding CUP criteria considered during review. 8. New East Wing VHA proposed text: The existing East Wing of the hospital will be demolished and replaced with a building that adds approximately 35,OOOsf of net new square footage. Located below this new building will be a multi -level parking structure which will be accessible from South Frontage Road and could provide the majority of all on -site parking. The south half of the new East Wing will include three levels. TOV response: On page 11 of the VVMC MP this paragraph states it will provide the majority of all on -site parking 4 2/3/2015 9. New Enclosed Loading /delivery facility and Central Utility Plant VHA proposed text: An enclosed loading /delivery facility and a central utility plant is to be located on site. The loading /delivery facility is to be accessed from the South Frontage Road, its location is subject to modification based upon either being located on the west portion of the current site, in a shared facility on adjacent properties, or on a location resulting from a land exchange with the Ever Green Hotel. TOV response: Staff has made a recommendation in the attached memorandum on page 9 to add language to explore the relocation of loading and delivery with access off of the South Frontage Road should the land exchange occur. 10. Emergency Helipad VHA proposed text: An Emergency Helipad will be located at a location based upon maximizing public safety through a flight path which does not overfly occupied structures, minimizing noise impacts upon the surrounding neighborhoods, does not diminish property rights of adjacent or neighborhood properties and is connected to the emergency care facilities. TOV response: Chapter 8 speaks to the incorporation of an emergency helipad. The report from HeliExperts in the appendices articulates all the FAA requirements and the intent to meet or exceed all requirements. Based on public input changes have been made to the design to address to the greatest extent possible the community concern with the approach and take off alignments. The Town's helicopter expert has reviewed the applicant's proposal and found it to be accurate and as initially design in compliance with all FAA regulations. 11. Main "Influences" in Site Planning of Future Expansions VHA proposed text: Moving ambulance arrival to the new South Frontage Road access is proposed to address a major community goal of removing emergency, staff and service /delivery vehicles from West Meadow Drive. This, in turn, necessitates a new Emergency Department is within the East Wing. Given the scope of new hospital functions that will be located within the East Wing, the east end of the campus became one of the logical location for additional structured parking depending upon alternative master planning solutions gain from collaboration of shared parking facilities with adjacent property owners and /or a land exchange with the Ever Green Hotel. TOV response: See staff response to number 9 above. 12. Covenant Restrictions VHA proposed text: 5 2/3/2015 The initial covenants established by Vail Associates establishing land use designates the site for "medical clinics "said covenants have requirements for compliance with prescribed amendment procedures TOV response: The VVMC MP contains discussion of the covenants placed upon the VVMC campus which benefit the Evergreen and those put in place by Vail Associates when the land was transferred to the Hospital (see chapter 10). The legal counsel for the VVMC is aware of all covenants and is prepared to address them at the appropriate juncture. 13. GOAL For the massing (and scale) of hospital expansions to be responsive and sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood. VHA proposed text: The proposed building massing of VVMC will be consistent with existing and potential building heights and density limitations of structures in the most immediate proximity to the adjacent facade of the hospital. The West Wing also includes a small expansion along Meadow Drive, new space essential to the efficient functioning of this portion of the hospital. While this expansion will be closer to the street, it will serve to create interest along the street by creating an off -set along the entire building facade the length of West Meadow Drive and provide for the relocation of ground level mechanical equipment now at the southwest corner of the building to the roof of the West Wing addition, so as to eliminate the impact of its industrial operational noise level upon adjacent residential properties. At three levels, the new East Wing will be in scale with building density and height allowed by existing zoning of surrounding properties. The helipad is to be located at a height that will not impact neighboring properties nor diminish their public safety or property rights and shield the surround neighborhood from operational noise. TOV response: See response to recommended change number 1 above, regarding CUP criteria considered during review. 14. GOAL To establish an appropriate physical and visual relationship be- tween the hospital and the pedestrian corridor along West Meadow Drive by use of effective building design, architecture and landscape improvements. VHA proposed text: The relocation of VVMC's main entry to South Frontage Road will provide a major benefit to West Meadow Drive and the pedestrian/biking experience along this corridor by eliminating the volume of vehicle trips on this road. Other considerations to be addressed in the design of building expansions that will enhance the campus' relationship to West Meadow Drive include: 6 2/3/2015 • Providing off -sets in building facades in order to avoid long, continuous wall planes and between adjacent properties. • Providing variation of building heights • Maintaining existing landscaping and enhancing landscaping between the building, the street and adjacent properties. • Introducing non - commercial outdoor spaces in order to create interest and activity along the street • Maintain and enhance the public safety of the existing West Meadow Drive sidewalk with a heated walking surface, consistent with that provided by other neighborhood properties and enhancing this corridor where appropriate public art and street lighting. • Relocate street level mechanical equipment to the roof of the West Wing, so as to eliminate the impact of noxious operational noise upon public walkways, street and adjacent properties. TOV response: The VVMC MP identifies on page 16 that the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum will be considered in the design and review of the conditional use permit applications. The Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan Addendum includes multiple recommendations for West Meadow Drive. It does not include a provision for heating the sidewalk. The portion of sidewalk adjacent to the Four Seasons is heated. If it was felt that West Meadow Drive adjacent to the VVMC should be heated that should be included. 15. GOAL To integrate the design of new buildings and expansion areas with existing portions of the hospital so as to create a varied but uni- fled architectural expression. VHA proposed text: Mechanical Systems One of the major goals of the VVMC Master Plan is to replace its aging utility components with a new Central Utility Plant, or CUP. The new CUP will be located within the building so as to eliminate exterior noise, odor and other noxious influence upon adjacent properties. This area will house heavy equipment including boilers, compressors, and emergency generators. TOV response: Page 13 of the VVMC MP contains a section entitled Mechanical Systems which speaks to relocation and consolidation of mechanical in a central utility plant which will be enclosed. Mechanical equipment on the roof top will be screened. The existing mechanical on West Meadow Drive will be removed in conjunction with the East Wing construction. 16. GOAL To provide safe and efficient pedestrian circulation within and through the VVMC campus that meets the needs of hospital users and the broader community. VHA proposed text: The primary pedestrian access to and from VVMC is West Meadow Drive. This shared vehicle/bike /pedestrian corridor is heavily used and provides a key link between Vail Village and Lionshead. Relocating the hospital's main entrance to South Frontage Road will greatly improve the safety and aesthetics of the road by eliminating VVMC traffic on this road. This 7 2/3/2015 will provide a substantial benefit to those who use this corridor, to neighboring residential uses and to the entire Vail community. A north /south pedestrian corridor will be constructed along the east end of the campus, providing a ADA accessible, heated walkway and landscaped streetscape connection for pedestrians between South Frontage Road and West Meadow Drive. Improvements to the Frontage Road associated with VVMC's new Front Door will include heated sidewalks along the south side of South Frontage Road. TOV response: Staff has recommended on page 9 of the attached memorandum, a text amendment to this sections which would clearly identify the pedestrian connection will need to be ADA compliant. Staff has made a recommendation in the attached memorandum on page 9 to add language to explore the relocation of loading and delivery with access off of the South Frontage Road should the land exchange occur. 17. GOAL To address existing site conditions along VVMC's boundary with Middle Creek in order to minimize potential impacts from surface drainage on the water quality and the adjacent riparian habitat along the creek. VHA proposed text: • Re- grading the parking lot or installing gutters to prevent drainage from flowing directly into the creek. • Installation of oil /sand separators or bio- swales to clean run -off before it flows from the site • Installation of riparian vegetation along VVMC lands adjacent to the creek • Implementation of "creek sensitive" snow removal /storage practices. VVMC will comply with Gore Creek clean up requirements. TOV response: Staff has recommended on page 9 of the attached memorandum, a text amendment to this sections which would identify the need for any proposal altering the west parking lot to comply with any adopted policies or regulations regarding creek health and restoration. 18. GOAL VHA proposed text: With the development of a new "Front Door" at South Frontage Road, to remove VVMC - generated traffic from West Meadow Drive. One of the key elements of this Master Plan is to establish South Frontage Road as the primary access to VVMC for all vehicular traffic. Establishing VVMC's "Front Door" at South 8 2/3/2015 Frontage Road has been a long- standing goal of the Town of Vail. Through their internal master planning process the VVMC team also defined this as a Master Plan goal. The reason for this is quite simple — Meadow Drive is a heavily used pedestrian corridor and reducing the number of cars on this road will greatly improve the aesthetics and safety of this pedestrian corridor. This section of the Master Plan addresses the impact of this improvement on West Meadow Drive and VVMC loading and service functions. The New Front Door and West Meadow Drive Re- locating VVMC's main access to South Frontage Road will dramatically improve conditions on West Meadow Drive. Currently VVMC- generated traffic on West Meadow Drive includes the following users: Patient and guest parking Ambulances /emergency vehicles Delivery vehicles VVMC service vehicles The following evaluation and conclusions are subject to modification and additional restrictions based upon further independent verification, including periods of high utilization. Criteria and standards by which the access to and location of VVMC delivery facilities will be evaluated is subject to changes in conditions and modifications of master plans prepared and adopted for adjacent properties. Delivery facilities shall be compatible with adjacent residential uses to eliminate noise and other operational aspect from impacting adjacent residences. Loading Facility acility Management Plan • Outline the role /responsibility of the Loading Dock Manager • Establish protocol for how the facility will be managed (hours of operation, coordinating times of deliveries, managing the size of trucks that deliver to VVMC, accom modatIng periodic deliveries by larger trucks, servicing the US Bank Building, etc.) • Establish "rules of the facility" that are enforceable by TOV. Conduct an annual review with adjacent property owners. The West Lot Design Parameters • Provisions to accommodate oxygen truck deliveries • Provide space suitable to accommodate the occasional delivery from a WB -40 truck Provide parking for VVMC service vehicles (to be accessed from the South Frontage Road) Provide location for enclosed delivery facility. Assumptions on potential South Frontage Road improvements, VVMC expansion plans and other traffic- related operational changes at VVMC that were considered in the traffic study in- cluded the following: 9 2/3/2015 Access to the new East Parking Structure and the West Surface Lot will be provided via the new main access off of South Frontage Road During the construction of the East Wing, 69 parking spaces in the US Bank Building may be temporarily accessed via West Meadow Drive with agreement with adjacent property owners as to operational procedures. TOV response: Staff has made a recommendation in the attached memorandum on page 9 to add language to explore the relocation of loading and delivery with access off of the South Frontage Road should the land exchange occur. Page 21 of the VVMC MP in the third paragraph of the left column there is a sentence stating that the Town will be in authority to enforce the loading and delivery management plan. 19. GOAL Establish an emergency helipad within the VVMC campus that is located to provide a direct internal connection to the new Emergency Department and with sensitivity to neighbors. VHA proposed text: The preferred location for the emergency helipad is subject to the preparation and adoption of master plans for adjacent properties, and the installation of support facilities which give proximity to the future location of the Emergency Department, are in conformance with applicable FAA guidelines, and eliminate over flight of occupied properties. TOV response: Chapter 8 speaks to the incorporation of an emergency helipad. The report from HeliExperts in the appendices articulates all the FAA requirements and the intent to meet or exceed all requirements. Based on public input changes have been made to the design to address to the greatest extent possible the community concern with the approach and take off alignments. The Town's helicopter expert has reviewed the applicant's proposal and found it to be accurate and as initially design in compliance with all FAA regulations. 20. Zoning VHA proposed text: SDD Zoning VVMC purchased the US Bank Building in 2005. At that time, the property was used as a professional office building and was zoned SDD #23. Since that time, VVMC has converted many office uses within the building to medical uses or office uses directly related to VVMC. These medical uses are permissible by SDD #23. While the majority of the building has evolved into a medical office building, the bank use is expected to remain for the fore- seeable future. VVMC's ultimate plan is for all uses within the building to be medical - oriented and it is anticipated this will occur once the bank vacates the building. At that time it is expected that the property may be re -zoned to the GU district. 10 2/3/2015 West Lot The West Lot is a location that could accommodate a new building at some point in the future. This would likely necessitate below -grade structured parking and an enclosed loading deliver facility and central utility plant. Access to this building (and parking) would be possible via South Frontage Road and the new main entry to VVMC. i VVMC Proposed 80' tall Helipad Building that VHA believes is out of character with the qualities of Vail's architectural design. TOV response: The VVMC MP includes discussion with regard to the potential for an emergency helipad located atop structure. The Master Plan contemplates that it will be necessary to utilize architectural stepping of other building forms and masses (page 14). 11 2/3/2015 Vail Valley Partnership Board of Directors Resolution in Support of the Master Facility Plan proposed by the Vail Valley Medical Center Background Vail Valley Medical Center has served the healthcare needs of the Town of Vail, the Vail Valley and Eagle County for nearly 50 years. Over that time, the population of the Valley has grown and healthcare has become increasingly complex. While the medical center has done an outstanding job of evolving with these trends and providing top - quality care over these five decades, it is an aging facility with buildings nearing 45 years of age. The hospital's basic mechanical and electrical systems are nearing the end of their useful life. New services have been placed wherever room could be found, causing disjointed functional relationships between types of services and patients' access to them. Space is cramped, inefficient, and not keeping pace with the state of the industry or with hospitals that have been recently built or renovated in Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Aspen, and other mountain communities. While a $2 billion renaissance has been completed in Vail Village and Lionshead Village, it's time for the hospital facilities to match the exceptional care it provides along with the world -class community it serves. It is for these reasons that the Medical Center has proposed a $100 million Master Facility Plan that will make Vail a center of medical excellence and improve the healthcare available to the community and to the Valley. Resolution The Board of Directors of the Vail Valley Partnership hereby finds that: WHEREAS; a state -of- the -art medical center is critical to the quality of life and medical needs of the Town of Vail and the entire Vail Valley and Eagle County; WHEREAS; the Eagle County Economic Development Plan has identified the healthcare industry as one of the emerging and leading sectors on which the majority of the County's economic development should focus and specifically identifies Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC) and its affiliates as a foundation upon which to build this sector; WHEREAS; VVMC is an aging facility with buildings nearing 45 years of age and mechanical and electrical systems nearing the end of their useful life; WHEREAS; The current VVMC facilities are space constrained and new services that have been added have been placed wherever room could be found, creating operating inefficiencies and disjointed functional relationships between types of service and patients' access to them; 2/3/2015 WHEREAS; VVMC has proposed a $100 million Master Facility Plan to update the medical center that will make Vail a center of medical excellence, improve the healthcare available to the community, and provide a positive quality of life for residents and prospective residents of the Valley; WHEREAS; The VVMC Master Facility Plan will enhance the healthcare of the region by providing a new, state -of- the -art Emergency Department and trauma care, relocating the helipad so it has direct access to the hospital and eliminates the need for ambulance transfer that increases risk and time in treating critical care patients and newborns, and through other improvements; WHEREAS; The VVMC Master Facility Plan will physically improve the community by relocating the main entrance and visitor and outpatient traffic and parking to South Frontage Road, thereby removing 1,400 vehicle trips from West Meadow Drive every day and improving the pedestrian environment and quality of life for nearby residents and hospital visitors, by a new look that will complement the architectural renaissance in Vail Village and Lionshead Village, and through other improvements; WHEREAS; A world -class center of medical excellence is vital to the long -term economic strength of the Vail Valley because of the health expenditures that are kept in the community, the jobs that are created, and the essential services that are provided to visitors and residents; WHEREAS; VVMC and its partners contribute more than $30,000,000 in direct economic impact annually to the Town of Vail, including over $1.2 million in annual sales tax related to patient, family, employee and resident spending in retail, restaurants and lodging; WHEREAS; The VVMC Master Facility Plan advances the mission of the Vail Valley Partnership to take a leadership role in creating and managing collaborative programs that encourage economic development and result in increased destination tourism in Eagle County; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Vail Valley Partnership Board of Directors hereby enthusiastically supports the Master Facility Plan as proposed by Vail Valley Medical Center; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Vail Valley Partnership Board of Directors encourages the Town of Vail Town Council to approve the Master Facility Plan as expeditiously as possible to allow construction of the improvements to commence by summer of 2015. Hereby adopted by the Vail Valley Partnership Board of Directors on the day of January, 2015. 2/3/2015 5- Warren Campbell From: Warren Campbell Sent: Monday, January 19, 2015 12:06 PM To: Warren Campbell Subject: Updated Review Schedule Letter From: RheinMed @aol.com [mailto:RheinMed @aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 7:52 AM To: Shelley Bellm; George Ruther Subject: Re: Updated Review Schedule Letter George: Thank you for your email. We are not available to attend these two meetings. We own a condo at Skaal Hus and have the following opinions: 1) We favor moving all shipping, receiving, and hospital traffic to Frontage Road. West Meadow Drive is a pedestrian street, and all hospital traffic should be diverted to an access point on Frontage Road to reduce the possibility of traffic accidents on West Meadow Drive, and to preserve the continuity of East and West Meadow Drive. 2) We favor keeping the helipad either where it is, of above the new parking structure. Moving the helipad closer to a residential community is dangerous, and creates noise pollution. Thank you for this opportunity to present our opinions. 2/3/2015 John A. Bee Skaal Hus #6 John A.

Hi, And a Happy New Year to you!!! I will start driving West on the 7th. Pam, yesterday I met with Mr. Richard Pearce. This year Richard retired as the inspector and certifier of helicopters for a large part of the Canadian helicopter communicty, particularly Military and government operations. I asked him, to comment on the situation we have in Vail. "Covell, there is NO lift at 8000 feet. for certain you must only use two engine helicopters." "The American Air Ambulance industry has a terrible safety record, getting better but still bad." Why I asked. "It's private, they compete and therefore pilots are under pressure to take chances and do things that they should not." "In Ontario we have Orange, a government owned and operated service. When a flight is called for the pilots are not told if it is training or an emergency or anything in between. The check the weather and locations and file a flight plan. Thus they do NOT fly when they should not. In the USA that is not the case. They compete, it is a business and they fly on and over the edge >" We talked of landing and taking off. Bottom line Pam, is that we have a very very dangerous context in Vail. Richard has no horse in this race. He is the best we have here. When I told him that I live on the top floor of a building he replied, "When ever we have a movement to fly low over buildings e.g. putting an air conditioning plant on top of a building, our rules require that we evacuate the top three floors of nearby buildings." "No way should you be there if they are coming over you to land and take off, NO WAY." That's what the man said. Smiles, Covell 2/31/2015 VVMC MASTER FACILITY PLAN Vail Valley Medical Center 1 181 W.

For updates on the Master Facility Plan process, visit www.vvmc.com /build Vail Valley Medical Center has been serving the Town of Vail, Eagle County and guests from around the world for 50 years. Over that time, healthcare has become increasingly complex and the regional population and guest volume have grown substantially. 50 Y E A R S EST. `) 1965 The medical center has done an outstanding job of evolving with these trends and providing world - class, top - quality care over these five decades, but it is an aging facility. • Some buildings are nearing 50 years of age. • The basic mechanical and electrical systems are ready for upgrades and replacement. • Some of the new services that have been added over the years have been placed where room could be found; sometimes causing disjointed functional relationships between types of services and patient access. • Space is confined, inefficient, and not keeping pace with the state of the industry or with hospitals that have been recently built or renovated in Aspen, Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Steamboat and other mountain communities. To address this need, VVMC has proposed a $100 million Master Facility Plan that will make Vail a center of medical excellence and improve the healthcare available to the community and our guests. • An updated, highly - functional hospital that is easy to access and navigate. • A new state -of- the -art Emergency Department. • An upgraded Patient Care Unit and Intensive Care Unit, providing improved privacy and dignity for patients. • A relocated helipad on the medical center campus with direct access to the hospital, eliminating time - consuming transfers of critical patients and newborns. • Appropriate medical space for physician groups. • Increased parking capacity, including covered parking. • A new main entrance off of S. Frontage Road, thereby removing 100% of patient, visitor, emergency and staff traffic from W. Meadow Drive. • A new concealed loading zone with an on -site manager to further minimize public impact. • Enhanced appearance to complement the architectural renaissance in the villages and neighborhood. • An independent, nonprofit, community hospital since 1965. • VVMC has grown into one of the world's most advanced mountain hospitals, providing Olympic - quality sports medicine, leading evidence -based research, modern cancer care, extensive cardiology services, 24- hour emergency care (Level III Trauma Center), urgent care facilities in Avon and Gypsum, endocrinology, internal medicine, general surgery, 3D breast imaging, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, childbirth (Level II Nursery - 499 babies delivered in 2014) and more. • The 2nd largest employer in Eagle County, keeping 850 jobs local. • As a local nonprofit, funds don't go to shareholders or a corporate office outside our region. VVMC revenues are reinvested in the community through better services, healthcare jobs, new physicians, state -of- the -art equipment, improved access, community outreach and charity care. • Named one of the top 150 Great Places to Work in Healthcare" by Becker's Healthcare for providing an excellent work environment and outstanding employee benefits. 2/3/2015 Val"I Valley Medical Center Extraordinary People.

The activities and site design of this area is aimed at encouraging pedestrian flow through the area and strengthening the connection between the two commercial cores. Appropriate activities include hotels, lodging and other tourist oriented residential units, ancillary retail and restaurant uses, museums, areas of public art, nature exhibits, gardens, pedestrian plazas, and other types of civic and culturally oriented uses, and the adjacent properties to the north. This designation would include the right -of -way of West Meadow Drive and the adjacent properties to the north. PJADI NIN Master Planning Process and Review Criteria Proposed Amendment • Modify Land Use Map • New Land Use Category VVMC — Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan Included in this category are those properties which are identified as being within the Vail Valley Medical Center Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan study area boundaries. Properties located within this land use category shall be encouraged to redevelop consistent with the Master Plan in order for the Vail Valley Medical Center to remain a viable and modern facility providing long term quality health care to the community. The range of uses and activities appropriate in the VVMC MP land use category may include healthcare facilities, professional and business offices, emergency services, emergency helipads, parking and loading /delivery facilities /structures, public u,;jjjg qs, accessory eating and drinking uses, and accessory uses commonly associated with healthcare facilities.

The results of the survey will be posted to the project page on the town's website at vailgov.com after the Town Clerk's Office certifies the results on Monday, February 2, 2015. There are 203 "benefiting receptors" eligible to take part in the preference survey conducted by the town and the Colorado Department of Transportation with a total of 406 preferences allotted. Of those 406, the Vail Town Council has been credited with 38 responses "for" the noise wall and 100 responses "against" the noise wall. The action was taken during the Town Council's Jan. 20 meeting and represents the town's ownership of property impacted by the underpass project. Benefiting receptors are those units with outdoor spaces, such as decks and patios that would receive a noticeable noise reduction of 5 decibels or more as a result of installation of the noise walls. The underpass project, to be located midway between the Main Vail and West Vail exits, qualifies for construction of a noise wall on the north side of 1 -70. However, it will not be included in the project unless a majority of the benefiting receptors show support in the preference survey. 2/3/2015 ►owx of vn' 1[1 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015 ITEM /TOPIC: Information Update: 1) December 2014 Sales Tax 2) January 2015 Revenue Highlights 3) Electronic Message Boards with Real Time Road Conditions ATTACHMENTS: December 2014 Sales Tax Memorandum January 2015 Revenue Highlights Electronic I70 Road Condition Messaging Board Memo 2/3/2015 MEMORANDUM January 28, 2015 To: Vail Town Council Stan Zemler Pam Brandmeyer Kathleen Halloran From: Sally Lorton Re: December Sales Tax I estimate Vail will collect another $39,000 in December sales tax to bring collections to $3,810,212. If so, December will be up 13.5% or $451,668 from the amended budget and up 11.3% or $388,034 from December 2013. Year to date would be up 8.5% or $1,867,804 from 2013. The year to date and full year budgets have been amended by $1,100,000 to reflect collections earlier in the year. Year to date revenue would be up 8.5% or $1,867,803 from the original budget and 3.3% or $767,803 from the amended budget. 2/3/2015 Month 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Town of Vail Sales Tax Worksheet 1/28/2015 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Budget 2014 Collections Budget variance % Change from 2013 % Change from Budget January 1,997,091 2,225,841 2,275,967 2,597,985 2,783,306 2,976,655 2,619,673 2,564,383 2,795,688 2,855,524 3,145,620 3,482,239 3,483,145 906 10.73% 0.03% February 2,111,163 2,362,825 2,429,377 2,527,130 2,718,643 3,071,615 2,588,889 2,577,360 2,803,136 2,994,580 3,267,351 3,476,412 3,477,318 906 6.43% 0.03% March 2,372,942 2,344,178 2,785,101 2,852,954 2,986,446 3,327,304 2,504,567 2,685,004 3,143,418 3,185,859 3,650,157 3,785,833 3,788,084 2,251 3.78% 0.06% April 871,468 992,157 915,554 1,280,324 1,330,740 1,098,918 1,235,941 1,156,934 1,191,690 1,183,087 1,069,186 1,279,493 1,280,546 1,053 19.77% 0.08% May 428,919 411,595 458,770 449,283 545,874 622,103 516,150 421,925 473,292 487,739 563,602 606,531 607,634 1,103 7.81% 0.18% June 742,755 732,113 834,913 805,362 953,017 918,061 717,233 873,765 895,951 963,143 1,023,801 1,151,770 1,153,152 1,382 12.63% 0.12% July 1,075,532 1,128,514 1,166,183 1,255,243 1,265,781 1,397,842 1,121,860 1,228,767 1,481,329 1,573,499 1,654,161 1,821,086 1,829,009 7,923 10.57% 0.44% August 1,029,446 994,445 993,985 1,055,614 1,162,746 1,349,795 1,068,391 1,147,352 1,310,471 1,380,710 1,507,048 1,517,611 1,674,720 157,109 11.13% 10.35% September 679,208 757,033 795,807 832,549 908,318 834,569 753,754 761,425 889,945 978,037 994,135 999,126 1,053,845 54,719 6.01% 5.48% October 508,092 532,537 566,173 614,396 688,519 662,767 581,033 594,362 623,420 644,577 755,133 742,761 750,117 7,356 - 0.66% 0.99% November 591,269 623,646 713,117 799,582 747,877 719,109 651,873 701,075 788,430 825,873 947,627 878,595 960,021 81,426 1.31% 9.27% December 2,171,098 2,362,095 2,549,032 2,771,258 2,821,871 2,652,628 2,553,974 2,963,763 3,184,645 2,973,826 3,422,178 3,358,544 3,771,212 412,668 10.20% 12.29% Total 14,578,983 15,466,979 16,483,979 17,841,680 18,913,138 19,631,366 16,913,338 17,676,115 19,581,415 20,046,454 21,999,999 23,100,000 23,828,803 728,803 8.31% 3.15% 2/3/2015 TOWN OF VAIL REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS February 1, 2015 Sales Tax Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, December collections are estimated to be $3,810,212 up 11.3% from last year and up 13.5% compared to budget. Year to date collections of $23,867,803 are up 8.5% from the prior year and up 3.3% from budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up 0.8% for December and 1.6% for the year. The annual amended budget totals $23.1 million. Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) RETT collections through December 31 total $6,722,693 up 45.1% ($2.1 M) from this time last year. The significant increase is mainly due to the purchase of residential properties. So far this year there have been 10 properties sold for over $10 million, 21 properties sold between $5 and $10 million and 43 properties sold between $2.5 and $5 million. These properties account for $4.2 million, or 63% of the total collections year to date. The amended annual 2014 RETT budget currently totals $5.9 million. Construction Use Tax Use Tax collections total $1,803,145 year -to -date compared to an amended annual budget of $1.8 million. Construction Use Tax is up 33% from collections this time last year. Parking Revenue Season to date: Pass sales from November through January 26 total $694,935, up 11.9% from prior winter season. Daily sales from the parking structures from November through January 26 total approximately $1.8 million, up 16.8% from the prior winter season. Summary Across all funds, year -to -date total revenue of $58.8 million is up 3.6% from the amended budget and up 14.4% from prior year, mainly due to increases in Sales Tax, Construction Use Tax, Construction Fees and RETT collections. 2131/2015 TOWN OF UAIt MernorandUrn To: Town Council From: Greg Hall, Public Works Director Date: February 3, 2015 Subject: Electronic Message Boards with Real Time Road Conditions Town staff was asked to contact representatives from the Colorado Department of Transportation (`CDOT ") to pursue the placement of electronic message boards with real time CDOT road condition information within the base areas of Vail Village and Lionshead to create awareness before guests reach the parking structures. Staff has researched the hardware and communication requirements for CDOT to provide the feed. The cost of the variable message signs is approximately $10K per sign with a 6 -8 week lead time. Based on the cost and timing, staff has not moved forward with this project. This is because CDOT is currently in final negotiations with a software /hardware vendor for a kiosk project that would provide road conditions throughout the 1 -70 corridor. This project presents an opportunity for significant cost savings for the TOV by using their programming and potentially using the signs that would become part of this new initiative. Currently TOV is using the same vendor for its digital displays in the Lionshead Welcome Center which would allow for continuity in use of the new programming and equipment. Staff will continue to work with CDOT to establish this partnership as the project proceeds. 2/3/2015 TOWN OF VAI N VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015 ITEM /TOPIC: Matters from the Mayor, Council and Committee Reports 2/3/2015 TOWN OF VAI N VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: February 3, 2015 ITEM /TOPIC: Adjournment (estimated 4:20 pm) NOTE: UPCOMING MEETING TOPICS AND ESTIMATED TIMEFRAMES BELOW (ALL ARE APPROXIMATE DATES AND TIMES AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE) THE NEXT REGULAR VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING WORK SESSION WILL BEGIN AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30 P.M.
