II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement with artist Valerie Theberge
(http://valerietheberge.com/) to create and install four mosaic murals at the Vail Skatepark as
approved by the Art in Public Places Board.
III. BACKGROUND
After a national public call to artists for Request for Qualifications, 50 applications were received
for consideration for the public art at the Vail Skatepark.
The RFQ's were reviewed on June 17, 2015 in a public meeting by the Art in Public Places
Board with representatives from the Town Staff, Town Council, the Vail Recreation District, and
California Skateparks. Based upon their qualifications and work experience, the Art in Places
Board selected four finalists to submit site-specific proposals using the criteria listed below.
References for each artist were contacted by the Art in Public Places Coordinator before a
public selection meeting on July 20, 2015.
Artwork Criteria for selection as established by AIPP guidelines:
Quality and Innovation: The consideration of highest priority is the inherent artistic
excellence and innovation of the artwork.
Timelessness: Each artwork should be viewed as a long-term acquisition that should
have relevance aesthetically to the community in future years. Due to the high visibility of
public art by residents and guests who frequent public places, artworks should be
selected that reflect enduring artistic quality.
Compatibility with Site: Works of art should be compatible in style, scale, material, form
and content with their surroundings, and should from an overall relationship with the site.
Permanence: Works of art shall have structural and surface soundness, and be resistant
to theft, vandalism, and weathering. Artworks shall not require excessive maintenance or
repair costs. Artworks that require continual maintenance are discouraged.
Public Safety: Artwork shall not create inordinate safety problems or liability problems for
the general public or Town of Vail.
8/4/2015
The Art in Public Places Board reviewed the four site-specific proposals and selected the
artwork submitted by Valerie Theberge. The large, vibrant, engaging, maintenance free, unique
mosaic murals encompassing all areas of the skatepark were especially appealing to the Art in
Public Places Board in making their final selection.
Color and Line: Four Mosaic Murals
Artist description: I developed the pieces for maximum visibility to have a distinctive visual effect
from both inside the park and from above looking down from the parking garage. The art pieces
are also designed with the intention of offering strong visuals for photographing skate boarders
and drawing in members of the community who wouldn't normally frequent the skatepark. The
lines in the murals mimic the flow and movement of skateboarding ramps and jumps. There is a
sense of fluidity and movement that parallels the floating sensation of skateboarding. The colors
are inspired by the flowers and landscaping in both Vail Village and Lionshead. Colorful, life
affirming, and cheerful.
Mural 1 — 16 feet high x 14 feet wide (east main stair tower wall); Mural 2 — 14 feet high x 12
feet wide (may be dissected into two murals due to existing pipes on wall — west main stair
tower wall); Mural 3 — 8 feet high x 12 feet wide (east mini park); Mural 4 — 8 feet high x 12 feet
wide (west mini park).
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the Town
Attorney, with Valerie Theberge to create and install four unique mosaic murals at the Vail
Skatepark as approved by the Art in Public Places Board in the amount not to exceed $100,000.

PROPOSAL
Fresh, alive, dynamic, powerful, fluid, creative, momentum, soaring.
The above words encapsulate the feeling of the proposed artworks for the Town of Vail's new skate park.
The artwork reflects the energy and vitality of both the Town of Vail and skateboarding.
After visiting Vail I was impressed with the power of the mountains, the fresh air, the focus on movement/
exercise and the incorporation of visual beauty throughout the city. Specifically the amount of thought
placed on the architecture, landscaping, play spaces, and public art. I translated my understanding of the
Town of Vail into my work to create whimsical, uplifting pieces to speak to the energy and creativity that
comes with the sport of skate boarding. My work is designed to add a unique vision to the art collection
that exists in Vail Village and Lionshead. It will be a strong, memorable backdrop for the skate borders.
I developed the pieces for maximum visibility to have a distinctive visual effect from both inside the park
and from above looking down from the parking garage. The art pieces were also designed with the
intention of offering strong visuals for photographing skate boarders and drawing in members of the
community who wouldn't normally frequent the skate park.
Color and Line
The lines depicted in the mural mimic the flow and movement of skateboarding ramps and jumps. There
is a sense of fluidity and movement that parallels the floating sensation of skateboarding. The colors were
inspired by the flowers and landscaping in both Vail Village and Lionshead. Colorful, life affirming and
cheerful.
Sizes and Location
Mural 1 - located on the main wall in the large part of the skateboard park is 14 feet wide by 16 feet high.
Mural 2 - located on the opposite wall of the large main part of the skateboard part and is cut into two
sections below and above the ducts. The top part is 9 feet high by 12 feet width and the bottom will be
5 feet high by 12 feet width.
Mural 3 - located in East mini park is 12 feet wide by 8 feet tall.
Mural 4 - located in West mini park is 12 feet wide by 8 feet tall.
8/4/2015
Materials
The proposed murals would be created with colorful glass tiles and mirror. Mosaics are rich and textural
and sparkle and glimmer with the strong sun that hits all four walls at different times of the day. The
mosaics would be adhered directly to cement backer board and bolted onto the walls. We use industrial -grade
mortar and grout with acrylic additives that allow for expansion and contraction experienced in extreme
temperatures.
Maintenance
Mosaics require no maintenance. Created from durable materials mosaics have lasted hundreds if not
thousands of years. More than two thousand years since the Olympics were first staged in Greece, the
mosaics created at that time still exist today.
Installation
The completed murals would be shipped to the Town of Vail. Three professional installers would take
5 -7 days to install the panels. Using rotary hammer drills we secure them to the walls and then finish
the seams.

Subject:
Booth Creek Park — Final Design Concept.
Introduction:
The purpose of this discussion is to present the recommended final design concept of Booth
Creek Park for the Town Council to review and accept or modify and approve.
Background:
The Town Council last reviewed the proposed list of park amenities for Booth Creek Park on
September 2, 2014. At that time the Council approved the recommended Design Program for
the park and directed staff to continue to refine the park design. Two Preliminary Park Design
Options were presented to the community on March 31 and June 9, 2015. Design Option 1 was
preferred unanimously by the community. Attached are the preliminary design options and the
final proposed design concept for Booth Creek providing a graphic representation of the
proposed park configuration and elements.
Approved Design Program:
The list of desired amenities and other features of the park are referred to as the Design
Program and are as follows:
1. Natural areas
2. Parallel parking on Manns Ranch Road
3. Looped paved path using the existing bike path. This will also be the accessible route
through the park
4. Open turf grass area as a significant design element of the park
5. Double, hard -surface, post tensioned concrete tennis court
6. Playground with natural elements and artistic components
7. A limited number of fitness/exercise equipment sensitively placed throughout the park
8. Public restroom, 2 -stall, 3 season, accessible and sensitive to the natural setting
9. Picnic Shelter for 2 to 3 picnic tables with other picnic tables, benches and bike racks
throughout the park
10. Other small park amenities, such as horseshoes or tetherball, as may be accommodated
without over developing the site
In January 2015, staff solicited input from the community and the Council in regards to the
fitness/exercise equipment for the park. Feedback received was related to the appropriateness
of such equipment in the park and was generally not in favor of including it in the design. The
proposed final design concept for Booth creek Park does not include fitness/exercise
equipment. The proposed final design concept includes the preservation and retention of most
of the existing vegetation on the site. This has been a priority of the community since the
beginning of the park design process. To that end and to avoid overdevelopment of the park no
small park amenities such as horseshoes and tetherball have been included in the final design
concept for Booth Creek Park.
8/4/2015
Description of Park Elements
Following is a description of the park amenities included in the final design concept for Booth
Creek Park. All improvements, with the exception of less than 50 feet of walking path, are
contained within Lot 11, Tract D, Vail Village 11th Filing (3 acres) and do not include
improvements on Tract B located immediately to the east. Walking paths are a permitted use
on Tract B which is zoned Natural Area Preservation and will be presented to the Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC)as such following approval of the final design concept by the
Council.
Natural areas
The final design concept for Booth Creek Park was laid out with considerable
attention to the natural areas, wetlands and existing vegetation that exists on the
site. The majority of the existing vegetation on the site is being preserved and will be
protected during the course of park construction. The existing vegetation to be
removed will be determined during design development and construction
documentation and will be minimized as much as possible.
2. Parallel parking on Manns Ranch Road
At the previous direction of the Council, the final design concept for the park includes
parallel parking on Manns Ranch Road as well as a limited number of head in
parking primarily to accommodate accessible parking requirements. Eleven parking
spaces will be proposed to the PEC as the appropriate number of parking spaces for
the park. This number was determined using the National Parks and Recreation
Association (NRPA) Standards and Guidelines for Neighborhood and Community
Parks. The parking calculation is as follows:
1 st 2 acres of park area 5 spaces
Additional acre of park area 1 space
Tennis Courts 2 spaces 1 space per 4 users
Picnic Shelter 2 spaces 1 space per 4 users
Accessible parking 1 space
Total number 11 spaces
The location of the parking spaces is a contentious issue with the owners of some of
the residential property owners adjacent to the park. Multiple owners have
expressed an intention to contact legal council if the parking is located adjacent to
their properties. Historically, parking for Booth Creek Park has been located in 2
locations. The first is a widened gravel shoulder on Manns Ranch Road beginning
approximately 200 feet from the center of the Manns Ranch/Bald Mountain
intersection and extending the length of the park frontage. The second is 4 gravel,
head -in parking spaces located at the northwest corner of the site. The proposed
final design concept for Booth Creek Park includes 9 paved parallel parking spaces
along Manns Ranch Road beginning in the same historic location and extending
approximately 200 feet along the park frontage and 1 accessible and 1 standard
parking space, both paved, in the location of the existing 4 head -in spaces. There is
room along Manns Ranch Road for approximately 5 additional spaces if the PEC
establishes the required number of parking spaces to be greater than the11
proposed.
3. Looped paved path using the existing bike path
The final design concept for the park includes 6 foot wide colored concrete walking
paths connecting all park elements to each other and to the parking areas and
existing recreation path. The entire walking path system is intended to be
Town of Vail
Page 2
8/4/2015
accessible. The loop path around the main turf grass area is approximately two
tenths of a mile. The portion of the walking path system which crosses into Tract B
is less than 50 feet in length and follows existing foot traffic patterns through the site.
4. Open turf grass area as a significant design element of the park
The final design concept for the park includes a central natural grass turf area of
approximately 21,000 square feet with additional smaller areas for less active uses.
5. Double, hard -surface, post tensioned concrete tennis court
A double, hard surface tennis court is included in the final design concept for the
park. The courts occupy 13,000 square feet and will include a 10 foot high, black,
chain link fence with wind screen. A bounce -back wall is proposed to be attached to
the fence at the north end of east court. This location will direct sound from the
activity away from the residential areas.
6. Playground with natural elements and artistic components
The final design concept for the park includes a 4300 sf playground area. The play
equipment and structures have not been designed and will be brought back before
the Council for approval later this year. The design of the play equipment and
structures is intended to include a natural theme and involve both an AIPP
designated artist and community children.
7. Public restroom, 2 -stall, 3 season, accessible and sensitive to the natural setting
A public restroom is included in the final design concept for the park adjacent to the
playground area offset 20 feet from the east property boundary. This location places
the restroom as far from all residential properties as possible and makes it
convenient to playground and recreation path users. The architecture of the building
has not been determined and will be brought back to the Council later this year.
8. Picnic Shelter for 2 to 3 picnic tables with other picnic tables, benches and bike racks
throughout the park
The final design program for the park includes a picnic shelter located on the western
side of the park where the existing playground is currently located. The architecture
of the playground has not been determined. Staff will explore options for a custom,
architect -designed shelter and prefabricated shelter packages and bring them back
to the Council later this year.
9. Landscape Treatment
The final design concept for the park includes additional landscape treatments
throughout the park. A specific landscape plan has not been created but will include
an appropriate mix of native and ornamental plantings. New plantings are indicated
on the attached graphic with heavier symbols and darker colors. The most
significant landscape feature will be landscape berms along the Frontage Road. The
berms will require a CDOT landscaping permit. Although the berms do not fit the
CDOT criteria for noise mitigation they will cause a reduction in noise to the
immediate park area. All landscape and turf areas will be irrigated with an automatic,
underground irrigation system.
Next Steps:
Following approval of the final design concept for Booth Creek Park by the Council staff will
draft and release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for professional design services. The RFP will
include required architecture, landscape architecture and engineering services. The selected
firm or firms will assist staff in the preparation of design development and construction
documents required for PEC, DRB, bidding, permitting and construction. A request to direct the
Town of Vail
Page 3
8/4/2015
Town Manager to enter into a contract with the selected firm or firms will be brought to the
Council later this year. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2016.
Budget:
Currently funds for the redevelopment of Booth Creek Park are included in the RETT Capital
Budget in 2016 for a total amount of $2.45M. This amount represents sufficient funding to
design and construct any of the park amenities included in the final design concept for Booth
Creek Park. Additional budget updates will be provided to the Council during the design
development phases of the project.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Council approve the Final Design Program for Booth Creek Park, as
written or as modified, and direct staff to proceed forward into design development and approval
phases of the park design process.

BOOTH CREEK PRELIMINARY PARK DESIGN OPTIONS
Following are two preliminary park design options for Booth Creek Park. Both options
attempt to incorporate the elements from the Town Council approved Design Program for
the park. The single largest element in the park design is the tennis courts. The location
of the tennis courts varies between the two designs and drives the layout and spatial
relationships between the remainder of the park elements. There is a critique of each
option following the design image.
Both options include 11 parking spaces (based on National Parks and Recreation
Association Standards) and the head -in or parallel arrangement is somewhat
interchangeable between the two. Both options limit park improvements to the park
property, Lot 11, and, with the exception of a minor walk connection, include no
modifications or improvements to the stream tract, Tract B.
Project Givens are reiterated following the design images and critiques.
Next steps are outlined at the end of the slides.

Booth Creek Park
CRITIQUE:
Park Design Option 1
The park layout provides a good spatial relationship, circulation and visibility between park
elements. The location of the restroom, while closer to the residences, is hidden by the
hillside, existing vegetation and living roof system. A shed roof design sloping to the west
would hid activity at the front of the building. This layout allows for a much larger
playground area consistent with other community parks. The location of the playground has
more sun and less shade that the existing smaller playground. The lawn area is also much
larger in this option. This option maintains all existing wetland areas and minimizes impacts
to existing vegetation. A head -in parking arrangement minimizes visual impacts and allows
turning around at park rather than at the cul-de-sac.
Landscape Berm between the bike path and the Frontage Road will provide visual and noise
buffer for park. Initial internal discussion with Town engineers indicates this concept is likely
to be supported by CDOT.

Town of Vail I Department of Public Works 1 8/4/15 8/4/2015 6
Booth Creek Park
CRITIQUE:
Park Design Option 2
The location of the tennis court in this park layout creates a barrier and interrupts the flow
and visibility between the elements within the park. The playground is the same size as the
existing and would have limited play value as a community park. The primary lawn area is
approximately 1/3 the size of the lawn in Option 1. Moving the playground and/or picnic
shelter to the lawn area north of the tennis courts would further reduce the size of the lawn
area and place these items further from the restroom location. Moving the restroom north
is not likely to be supported and would result in a longer water and sanitary sewer run and
increased construction costs.
Landscape Berm between the bike path and the Frontage Road will provide visual and noise
buffer for park. Initial internal discussion with Town engineers indicates this concept is likely
to be supported by CDOT.
