Vail, CO 81657 1:30 P.M., OCTOBER 6, 2015 ruwx OF va' ii> Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item. Public comments on work session item may be solicited by the Town Council. ITEM/TOPIC: Site Visit Lion's Ridge Apartments (1265 North Frontage Road West) Van will depart Municipal Building after start of work session. (45 min. ) BACKGROUND: Site visit to Lion's Ridge Village Apartments (redevelopment of eastern half of Timber Ridge), a project that involved the demolition of 102 two- bedroom units and the construction of 112 new one and two bedroom units. ITEM/TOPIC: PEC/DRB Update (10 min.) PRESENTER(S): Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager ITEM/TOPIC: Insurance Services Office (ISO) Public Protection Class Rating (10 min.) PRESENTER(S): Mark Novak, Vail Fire Chief BACKGROUND: See attached ISO Memorandum ITEM/TOPIC: Chamonix Housing Development Update - Vail's newest residential neighborhood for families in West Vail. (30 min.) PRESENTER(S): George Ruther, Director of Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the staff presentation on the current status of the Chamonix Housing Development and provide any feedback or input that the Town Council may have at this time. BACKGROUND: 359 Design, along with their design team, and the Town staff have been making progress on the entitlement process for development on Vail's newest residential neighborhood for families on the Town -owned Chamonix parcel located in West Vail. To date, conceptual site access and infrastructure plans have been developed and an application for Development Plan approval has been presented to the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission for review and approval. Presently, the site access and infrastructure plans have been developed to a point where there is a well-grounded understanding of the access needs and below grade infrastructure requirements of the project. The Design team and Town staff are comfortable with the plan as currently 10/6/2015 conceptualized and confident that minor modifications can be made to the plan, if necessary, to meet the specific needs of the proposed Development Plan for the vertical construction on the site. Formulation of a probable cost estimate for site access and infrastructure is a next step in the process. On both July 13 and September 28, 2015, the Design team and Town staff appeared before the Town's Planning & Environmental Commission for worksession discussions regarding the proposed Development Plan. At this time, the Development Plan is beginning to take shape and the entitlements for the vertical construction of the residential units is better understood. An outstanding issue requiring Town Council consideration is that of the parking requirements for future development on the site. Most recently, the Planning & Environmental Commission recommended the Design team and Town staff pursue a development plan approval that provides a minimum of two (2) parking spaces per unit on the site. The public hearing on the 28th was continued by the Commission to October 12th at which time additional work will be presented to the Commission on the proposed Development Plan. A copy of the draft narrative plan has been attached for reference. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Acting on behalf of the applicant/client, the Vail Town Council, the Design team and Town staff recommend the Town Council provide further instruction on the issue of the proposed parking requirement for the development. As a clear driver in the design of the development, the parking requirement will require the client to make decisions about certain trade offs in the development. The Planning & Environmental Commission recommends that the quality of units, adequacy of parking and ample storage drive the decision around density (# of dwelling units), unit mix, landscape area and percentage of site coverage. The Commission clearly expressed their belief that certain trade offs were necessary to realize the goals of the development. 5.

Page 3 10/6/2015 PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION TOWN Of VA105 September 28, 2015, 1:00 PM Vail Town Council Chambers 75 S. Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 1. Call to Order Present: Brian Gillette, Henry Pratt, Dick Cleveland, Kirk Hansen, John Ryan Lockman Absent: Webb Martin, John Rediker 2. A request for review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-6C-3, Conditional Uses and Section 12-14-18, Bed and Breakfast Operations, Vail Town Code, to allow for the use of short term lodging (Bed and Breakfast) located at 2395 Bald Mountain Road/Lot 23, Block 2, Vail Village Filing 13, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC150029) - 30 min. Applicant: Stephen Connolly Planner: George Ruther Action: Approve with Conditions Motion: Cleveland Second: Gillette Vote: 5-0 (Martin, Rediker absent) Conditions: 1. Applicant shall at all times abide by the regulations of Section 12-14-18, Bed and Breakfast Operations, of the Vail Town Code. 2. Only one bedroom in the residence may be used for the bed and breakfast operation. 3. A minimum of two parking spaces shall be maintained on the property at all times. 4. Applicant shall at all times abide by the Conditional Use Permits regulations, Chapter 16, Title 12 of the Vail Town Code. 5. No exterior changes or alterations are approved with this permit. 6. It shall be unlawful for a bed and breakfast operation to do business without a conditional use permit from the planning and environmental commission after June 12, 1990, or to operate in violation of any of the provisions of this code. 7. Any bed and breakfast operation which is discontinued for a period of twelve (12) months, regardless of any intent to resume operation of use, shall not be resumed thereafter, and any future use of the site or structures thereon shall conform to the provisions of this title. George Ruther, Director of Community Development gave a brief presentation on the Staff memorandum. Staff is recommending approval with conditions. Commissioner Pratt inquired about the GIS map included in the packet as the property outlined shows only one driveway for the duplex. Is this a shared driveway? The vicinity map included in the packet indicates the incorrect property and staff provided corrected information. Stephen Connolly, applicant, responded that there are two driveways as represented on Google maps. Commissioner Gillette asked why the Conditional Use Permit was limited to one bedroom. Is there not enough parking for additional use? Director Ruther responded that the Permit is based on the request of the applicant and staff is supporting the request for one bedroom. Ruther clarified that if the applicant chooses to change that in the future, staff can handle that administratively. Commissioner Lockman asked for clarification on the Conditional Use policy. Can anyone in this zone district apply for this permit? 10/6/2015 Director Ruther responded that most residents in residential zone districts could apply for this type of approval. Because this is a conditional use permit it requires additional review to ensure all conditions and requirements are being met, for example parking. Commissioner Gillette agrees with staff recommendation and had no further questions. Commissioner Cleveland stated the applicant has met the requirements of the application and had no further questions. Commissioner Hansen had no additional questions or comments. Commissioner Lockman thanked staff for the policy clarification. 3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for an amendment to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to Section 2.8, Adoption and Amendment of the Master Plan, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to amend the Detailed Plan Recommendations for the Evergreen Lodge at Vail, located at 250 South Frontage Road West/Lot 2W, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC140044) - 60 min. Applicant: Evergreen Lodge at Vail, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: George Ruther Action: Table to October 12, 2015 Motion: Cleveland Second: Hansen Vote: 5-0 (Martin, Rediker absent) Commissioner Cleveland noted that he serves on the Board of Directors of VVMC and does not believe that his service on the VVMC Board conflicts with this application and that it does not create a conflict of interest. George Ruther, Director of Community Development gave a brief presentation on the staff memorandum. He reiterated the role of the master plan and of Chapters 4 & 5 of the plan as they contain the goals of the overall study area as well as more specific recommendations for individual parcels, respectively. Dominic Mauriello representing the applicant clarified that the development potential is not changing on the property as the zoning is already in place. Dominic continued the review of the proposed amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan as outlined in the PEC Packet. Commissioner Gillette & Commissioner Cleveland reiterated their concern that these modifications are too detailed for the purpose of the plan. Dominic stated that he believed that the level of detail is the same as currently exists in the plan today. Take into example the Ever Vail modifications that have been made. Commissioner Cleveland stated that the description of the pedestrian pathway in 5.19.5 is too detailed and belongs more within the application for a development plan. State the goal and not the method to attain that goal. Commissioner Gillette stated that the site specific plan could span to potential future development if this does not move forward. As soon as you get site specific, it's too detailed. Dominic agreed that some wording changes could be made to not be so specific with its detail and have more conceptual ideas vs. finite design. Director Ruther stated that from a staff perspective, the master plan does speak in more specific terms to get something accomplished. Maybe we provide multiple examples of what is being proposed so it doesn't appear that one design is being approved. 10/6/2015 Commissioner Pratt stated that he believed that the critical issues are the pedestrian plan & zero setbacks. More attention needs to be paid to zero set back issue. What is it and what does it mean? What is the public benefit of zero set backs? Dominic stated that all of the buildings on the properties meet setback requirements. It is primarily landscaping & parking may be into setback. Commissioner Cleveland concerned about wording in section 5.19.6. This description presupposes that it will be allowed if it's in there. Change in wording from "necessary" to "needed". Commissioner Pratt asked Director Ruther if the Four Seasons loading & delivery area is utilized as it was designed. Do we find someone backing out of this site? Director Ruther stated that backing out is in violation of the town's ordinance and approval for the project. However, drivers do back out occasionally. Commissioner Gillette stated that all zero setbacks all have to be below grade. There should be no added mass and scale within the set back. Commissioner Cleveland recommended that a language change to zero setbacks may be necessary and not state that they are necessary. Dominic stated that this is how setbacks are addressed throughout the entire plan. Director Ruther stated that there is a 30' utility easement that currently exists today along South Frontage Road. Zoning allows for 10' set back around all sides unless described differently within the LRMP. This really needs to be in the adopted plan. Commissioner Gillette asked why architectural designs are mentioned in this section when it is clearly stated in the Lionshead Design Guidelines. Dominic stated that this gives clearer direction for the design. Stated a look to your neighbors design is more appropriate. Context of the core of Lionshead is different than this location. We are trying to meet the design of the area and not necessarily the core area. Commissioner Hansen agrees with the language as a control tool. Commissioner Pratt disagrees with this language and that the design must meet the design guidelines as established. Feels the hospital believes they are above the guidelines and they have received approval for an institutional development and I don't want to see more of these types of buildings in this area. Would like to recommend some step down on the Frontage Road side as you see on the Meadow Drive side. Commissioner Cleveland asked if the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan already address the height & step down requirements. Director Ruther clarified that only in certain sites does it make these requirements clear. Dominic stated that imposing requirements on this specific property when the step back was not imposed on other properties would not be acceptable to the applicant. 10/6/2015 Jim Lamont representing the Vail Village Homeowners Association would like to note that a 14th item has been added to the questions previously submitted for the town and applicant to respond. He was not aware of the 30' setback from Frontage Road due to the easement. Asked how you break up bulk and mass so there isn't another massive structure. Agrees with comments made regarding zero set back. This is one of those situations where you won't see the value until the development plan is put in front of you. Service & Delivery in the VVMC Master Plan refers to shared use of the Evergreen Lodge loading & delivery and they would like to see reciprocity to this agreement in this amendment. Dominic stated that they are working with VVMC on many aspects of this design but are unsure if a shared loading & delivery is probable. They are currently located at two very separate locations and sides of the property. We don't really talk about shared delivery, we do talk about shared parking. We question the need to provide the loading & delivery needs of a neighboring property. This land swap and more access to frontage road does make loading & delivery better access Commissioner Gillette does not agree with shared loading & delivery for a hospital and a hotel. These two needs should not be happening on the same loading doc. Jim Lamont clarified that when we say shared parking we don't mean replaced parking. A clarification was also made that the Gateway & Sebastian share loading & delivery so multiple uses can be accomplished. There should be a way to build a shared corridor or labyrinth below the buildings. Commissioner Lockman stated that he appreciates input from other board members in reference to specificity of some of these recommendations. I also appreciate the applicants desire and need to be specific. This is going to lay a framework for the development to be built. The plan is shaping together very well. Commissioner Hansen stated that what was covered in this section is something he is comfortable with. Asked how & when is it appropriate to have a discussion lot 10 and how open or restrictive the master plan needs to be for that parcel. Commissioner Cleveland stated that generally he has made his comments known. Since he was not at the last meeting, he wanted to go back to a few things he is concerned with: preservation with accommodation units and that this complies with live bed policy and accommodation unit policy. Commissioner Gillette had no further comments. Commissioner Pratt stated that they have all made their points pretty clear. If you look at the site plan, the hospital is doing extensive of their bulk & mass on their site. Evergreen is in here talking about tear down rebuild on their site with bulk & mass. Town of Vail is discussing this on their site. We are losing opportunity to do this right and that a roundabout can only go in one location. Commissioner Pratt felt that each applicant was looking at their needs specifically instead of reaching out and having all potential developers come together to ensure this plan comes together. Dominic clarified that all parties are working together to find solutions that work well with neighboring properties. We are coordinating and coming around to do our best. Maybe more conversations can happen to address some of these concerns. 10/6/2015 4. A request for final review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Vail Town Code, to allow for the future development of Employee Housing Units on the Chamonix parcel located at 2310 Chamonix Road, Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC150019) - 60 min. Applicant: Town of Vail Community Development Department Planner: George Ruther Action: Table to October 12, 2015 Motion: Cleveland Second: Gillette Vote: 5-0 (Martin, Rediker absent) George Ruther, Director of Community Development, made a presentation as per the staff memorandum. Goal of this development plan is to receive approval and development will proceed with a phased approach. Commissioner Gillette stated he is concerned with the parking requirement, regardless of one bedroom or not, most people need at least 2 parking spaces. Director Ruther stated that we can get there, it's a matter of trade-offs and what the PEC needs to address. If 2 spaces per unit are needed, we either have to increase the number of parking spaces, change the unit count (density) and site coverage of the buildings and decrease open/recreational space or we need to reduce the number of total units in the complex. This is the question we run into for all employee housing developments. Determining the total number of parking spaces to adequately park the project is always the question. Commissioner Gillette stated that we need to develop the complex based on the number of parking spaces, like was done for Lions Ridge, and that we may need to reduce density if necessary to make that happen. Commissioner Cleveland commented that residents don't complain about the lack of open space, they complain about the inadequacy of available parking. It's a fact, parking is going to drive how many units we can build so we don't continue to have complaints and meet the future owner's expectations. We need to learn from our previous mistakes. Commissioner Pratt stated that he believed that the multifamily facility was for more of an entry level opportunity. We have to be able to provide the parking or its going to be a miserable experience. Maybe a reduction in the number of 3 bedroom units in the multifamily facility would be a solution. Lower density tends to have less parking issues than the higher density areas. Commissioner Cleveland stated that he felt that an outcome similar to Option E is the best alternative so we keep 3 bedrooms in the mix. Commissioner Gillette felt that there needs to be an Option F. This would remove 3 bedroom options from the Multi -Family altogehter. The reality is there needs to be 2.7 parking spaces per unit and not 1.8. Commissioner Lockman agreed that the market is looking for parking. Director Ruther stated that we need to recognize when tradeoffs are required. The adequacy of available parking is going to drive the density of this project. A summary of the commission's recommendation is to provide 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit minimum plus guest parking to achieve the 2.7 spaces per unit. Increase parking for 1 bedroom unit to 2 spaces. Commissioner Hansen asked for clarification of the phased development. Is the current thinking to phase or not to phase or not likely to be necessary? 10/6/2015 Director Ruther stated that it is anticipated that this development will be phased over time. We need to mitigate risk. There are many ways the Town can mitigate risk in the development of this project. 5.

Community Development Department Published in the Vail Daily September 25, 2015 10/6/2015 10/6/2015 TOWN OF VAIN VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO MEETING DATE: October 6, 2015 ITEM/TOPIC: Insurance Services Office (ISO) Public Protection Class Rating PRESENTER(S): Mark Novak, Vail Fire Chief BACKGROUND: See attached ISO Memorandum ATTACHMENTS: ISO Memorandum 2015 ISO PowerPoint 10/6/2015 WIWI Memorandum To: From: Date: Subject Town Council Mark Novak, Fire Chief September 29, 2015 ISO Rating Background The Insurance Services Offices (ISO) is an insurance industry advisory organization responsible for the Public Protection Classification (PPC) system. This system is used to evaluate structural fire suppression delivery systems (fire departments). This classification system is used by many insurance companies to make determinations regarding insurability, coverage levels and cost. The current grading schedule assigns a PPC class of 1-10, with 1 indicating superior fire protection and a rating of 10 indicating a fire protection delivery system that does not meet ISO's minimum requirements. In general, areas with a lower ISO rating have lower insurance rates and greater opportunity to obtain insurance through major insurance carriers. The current PPC rating schedule was revised in 2012. This was the first major revision since the 1980's. Notable in this revision, was the addition of the Community Risk Reduction category. This change was important because it is the first time the rating schedule acknowledged the importance of risk reduction activities (primarily fire prevention). In addition to this change, a number of other changes to grading schedule and the manner in which the evaluations are completed have resulted in many communities receiving improved ISO scores under the new schedule. Historically PPC evaluations were conducted on a 10-15 year basis. Under the new grading schedule, ISO has committed to conducting evaluations every 5 years. It is important to note that the ISO rating only evaluates firefighting capacity; it does not evaluate how effectively these services are delivered or the safety of an organization's fireground operations. The ISO rating does not evaluate delivery of services other than structural firefighting, such as emergency medical services or rescue. The ISO rating also does not evaluate or award any credit for response capacity or mitigation activities associated with non - structure fire incidents, including wildland fires. In 2010 the Town of Vail achieved a PPC Class 4/9. This was an improvement over the previous rating which had been a Class 5/9. This rating had been in effect since 1992. The PPC grading system has a grading basis of 100 points, plus 5.5 bonus points for Community Risk Reduction. Of these, 10 points are derived from an evaluation of the emergency communications system (911, radios, and dispatch), 50 points related to fire department capacity and operations, and 40 points are based upon the firefighting water supply system. 10/6/2015 II. Current Situation In April of 2015, ISO conducted an evaluation of the Town of Vail. Although the new grading schedule has streamlined this process, Vail Fire and Emergency Services (VFES) staff spent approximately 80 hours compiling the data necessary for the evaluation. In addition to VFES personnel, data collection was conducted by personnel from the Town of Vail Fleet Maintenance, Copper Mountain Fire District, Eagle River Fire Protection District and Eagle River Water and Sanitation. The 2015 evaluation resulted in a PPC of 2/2x which will be effective November 1, 2015. An ISO Class 2 is achieved by a score of greater than 80. The Town of Vail achieved a score of 82.11. This rating applies to all areas that are served by VFES, including areas outside the Town limits such as parts of the Intermountain area. The 2x rating applies to any property within the VFES service area that is greater than 1000' from a fire hydrant. VFES staff was unable to identify any developed property that meets this criteria. A property with a Class 2x rating would generally have higher insurance premiums than a property with a Class 2 rating. Based upon available ISO distribution data, an ISO Class 2 places VFES in the top 3% of fire departments in the nation and in the top 6% in Colorado. It is anticipated that the number of Class 2 departments will increase as more fire departments are evaluated under the 2012 grading schedule. The actual scoring for the Town of Vail is: CatecioEy Credit Available Credit Emergency Communications 8.68 10 Fire Department 39.51 50 Water Supply 30.21 40 Divergence -.70 n/a Community Risk Reduction 4.41 5.5 TOTAL 82.11 105.5 Note: The divergence factor mathematically reduces the score based upon the relative difference between the fire department and water supply scores. The ISO evaluation reinforced the value of the construction and staffing of the West Vail Fire Station. Without the increased level of service provided by this facility, it is unlikely that a Class 2 would have been achieved. The ISO evaluation also helps inform service delivery. It is important to note that an 82.11 is at the lower end of the Class 2 rating. To maintain this rating, the Town of Vail will need to continue to maintain existing service delivery levels. The evaluation includes requirements for minimum numbers of fire engines and ladder trucks, based upon travel distances and required fire flows. To meet baseline ISO requirements, VFES will need to maintain the capacity to respond 3 engine companies and 2 ladder trucks. The category that has the largest opportunity for earning additional points is the "company personnel" category. In this category, we were awarded 9.44 points out of 15 possible. Another category which has significant opportunity for improvement is the training category. A significant contributor to this deficiency is that ISO only recognizes training facilities with a live burn facility. There is a potential opportunity to improve in this category if CMC constructs a live burn facility on their campus. Town of Vail Page 2 10/6/2015 The ISO evaluation also helps identify areas for improvement. One area of potential improvement was the need for more accurate and consistent documentation of fire department activities. We have addressed this internally through training and will be implementing a new records management system in 2016. The new ISO classification is an achievement which the Town of Vail should be proud of. Maintaining this classification will require a conscious effort to ensure we continue to provide emergency services commensurate with community risk. It is also important to continue to address the risks that are not part of the ISO evaluation such as wildfire. Recognizing the limitations of the ISO evaluation, VFES also recently completed the United States Fire Administration's Vulnerability Assessment Profile. This assessment will guide VFES in ensuring that we are following best practices for both community and firefighter safety.

PRESENTER(S): George Ruther, Director of Community Development ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the staff presentation on the current status of the Chamonix Housing Development and provide any feedback or input that the Town Council may have at this time. BACKGROUND: 359 Design, along with their design team, and the Town staff have been making progress on the entitlement process for development on Vail's newest residential neighborhood for families on the Town -owned Chamonix parcel located in West Vail. To date, conceptual site access and infrastructure plans have been developed and an application for Development Plan approval has been presented to the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission for review and approval. Presently, the site access and infrastructure plans have been developed to a point where there is a well-grounded understanding of the access needs and below grade infrastructure requirements of the project. The Design team and Town staff are comfortable with the plan as currently conceptualized and confident that minor modifications can be made to the plan, if necessary, to meet the specific needs of the proposed Development Plan for the vertical construction on the site. Formulation of a probable cost estimate for site access and infrastructure is a next step in the process. On both July 13 and September 28, 2015, the Design team and Town staff appeared before the Town's Planning & Environmental Commission for worksession discussions regarding the proposed Development Plan. At this time, the Development Plan is beginning to take shape and the entitlements for the vertical construction of the residential units is better understood. An outstanding issue requiring Town Council consideration is that of the parking requirements for future development on the site. Most recently, the Planning & Environmental Commission recommended the Design team and Town staff pursue a development plan approval that provides a minimum of two (2) parking spaces per unit on the site. The public hearing on the 28th was continued by the Commission to October 12th at which time additional work will be presented to the Commission on the proposed Development Plan. A copy of the draft narrative plan has been attached for reference. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Acting on behalf of the applicant/client, the Vail Town Council, the Design team and Town staff recommend the Town Council provide further instruction on the issue of the proposed parking requirement for the development. As a clear driver in the design of the development, the parking requirement will require the client to make decisions about certain trade offs in the development. The Planning & Environmental Commission recommends that the quality of units, adequacy of parking and ample storage drive the decision around density (# of dwelling units), unit mix, landscape area and percentage of site coverage. The Commission clearly expressed their belief that certain trade offs were necessary to realize the goals of the development. ATTACHMENTS: PEC Memorandum PEC Presentation 10/6/2015 TOWN OF VAIL Memorandum TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: September 28, 2015 SUBJECT: A request for final review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Vail Town Code, to allow for the future development of Employee Housing Units on the Chamonix Parcel located at 2310 Chamonix Road, Parcel B, Resubdivision of Tract D, Vail Das Schone Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto (PEC150019) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Will Hentschel, 359 Design Planner: George Ruther I. SUMMARY The Town of Vail acquired the Chamonix Parcel in West Vail for the expressed purpose of constructing a new West Vail Fire Station and an affordable housing development on the combined area of the site. Since the acquisition, the Town of Vail, in participation with the West Vail neighborhood and the Chamonix Advisory Committee, completed and adopted a master plan for the future development of the site. The Chamonix Master Plan was first adopted by the Vail Town Council in 2005, and the plan was subsequently amended in 2009. The most significant change resulting from the amendment approval was the ability to gain vehicular access to the duplex units from Chamonix Lane. In the end, the "Neighborhood Block Scheme" was selected by the community as the preferred alternative for future development on the site. Developing affordable housing on the Chamonix Parcel is a development objective of the Town of Vail. Determining the potential viability for affordable housing to be built on the Chamonix Parcel and completing a first phase of development on the property has been identified as a key initiative of the Vail Town Council. In the end, this action helps achieve the Town Council's adopted goal of "growing a thriving and balanced community'. 11. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, the Town of Vail, is requesting approval of a development plan to allow for the future development of deed restricted employee housing units on the Town -owned Chamonix Parcel, located at 2310 Chamonix Road. A development plan approval is required, pursuant to Section 12-61-11, Development Plan Required, of the Vail Town Code to guide and direct development within the Housing District. Once adopted, an approved development plan, along with any applicable land use regulations contained in the Town's Zoning Regulations, becomes the principal governing document for land use and dimensional requirements and limitations on the property. The development plan shall remain in effect for the life of the development, and 10/6/2015 may be amended from time to time, as deemed appropriate, as part of an established development review process. A copy of the proposed Approved Development Plan has been attached for reference (Attachment A) The purpose of this worksession is to present the proposed development standards for the Chamonix development and receive feedback from the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission on the standards proposed. III. BACKGROUND The Town of Vail has been exploring options for developing the community's newest residential neighborhood on the Town owned Chamonix parcel located in West Vail. This action helps achieve the Town Council's adopted goal of "growing a thriving and balanced community'. The Town Council affirmed a number of goals for the project. The goals include: • Optimize the use of the site for workforce for -sale housing (15 - 25 du's per acre) • Design a context sensitive design solution (design review guidelines) • Ability to be phased over time (min. two phases) • Deliver desirable, marketable and diverse types of housing products (duplexes; one, two & three bedroom flats; townhomes, etc.) • Maximize the town's limited supply of financial resources • Build responsibly given the existing site configuration, topography and natural features of the site • Develop a diversified cost/sales structure to respond to a wider range of buyers (i.e. pricing structure based upon income) Project Approach Development on the Chamonix site requires two distinct steps: 1) site access and infrastructure improvements, and 2) vertical building construction. For obvious reasons site access and infrastructure work must be completed before vertical building construction. Town staff recommends breaking the project entitlement process down into two steps as well. Due to the presence of the Housing District on the site, this approach can be easily accommodated and is particularly advantageous. Step One - The Housing District provides flexibility in the application of the development standards. According to the Town's Zoning Regulations, the development standards for the District are prescribed by the applicant and reviewed for approval by the PEC. With that in mind, staff recommends that the Town prepares a development plan generally prescribing the applicable development standards (i.e. density, GRFA, setbacks, building locations, site coverage, landscape area, building height, etc.) and seek a development plan approval from the Planning & Environmental Commission. Once a development plan approval prescribing this general development standards are in place, the site access and infrastructure designs can be completed, contracted and permitted (late summer 2015). Approximately $1.5M has been appropriated in the 2015 Budget for this 2 10/6/2015 work. Prior to submitting an application to the Planning & Environmental Commission for review and approval of the site access and infrastructure improvements the town staff will return to the Town Council with a detailed probable cost estimate for the work. Step Two - While the site access and infrastructure improvements are being installed and completed, the Town can simultaneously make progress on meeting with prospective home buyers and work towards the design review approvals needed for the vertical building construction. The first phase of vertical building construction could begin as early as spring 2016. The advantage of this approach is it optimizes time, reduces risk, saves cost, creates predictability and allows for phased construction of the housing development. On July 13, 2015, the applicant provided and initial overview of the proposed development on the Chamonix site. The following topics were presented and discussed: • Development Plan approval process • Phased approach to development • Site access and infrastructure improvements • Allowed uses • Density (DU/ac & GRFA) • Setbacks • Building height • Site coverage • Landscape area • Parking At the conclusion of the overview there was general consensus regarding many of the proposed development standards. The one proposed standard, however, which required more discussion and consideration was the parking requirement for the site. IV.

REVIEW CRITERIA According to Section 12-61-13, Development Standards/Criteria for Evaluation, of the Zoning Regulations of the Town of Vail, the following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluating a proposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria. A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and, when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. F. Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. To ensure the unified development, the protection of the natural environment, the compatibility with the surrounding area and to assure that development in the housing district will meet the intent of the zone district, an approved development plan shall be required. Project Density 4 10/6/2015 The 2009 Chamonix Master Plan recommends the Neighborhood Block option aimed at providing residential development on the site oriented towards families. In doing so, an overall project density of 55 - 60 dwelling units (+/- 16 units per acre) is recommended in a mix of unit types. Town Staff has developed a preliminary option based upon the Neighborhood Block design that nets an overall project density of 65 — 70 dwelling units (+/-21 units per acre) of a mix of unit types. A substantial increase or decrease in density significantly changes the character of the development and the unit mix on the site, resulting in a substantially different development. In order to proceed forward with preliminary site work and infrastructure design, an overall project density must be established. VIII. DISCUSSION ITEMS On July 13, 2015, the applicant provided and initial overview of the proposed development on the Chamonix site. The following topics were presented and discussed: • Development Plan approval process • Phased approach to development • Site access and infrastructure improvements • Allowed uses • Density (DU/ac & GRFA) • Setbacks • Building height • Site coverage • Landscape area • Parking At the conclusion of the overview there was general consensus regarding many of the proposed development standards. The one proposed standard, however, which the Commission agreed required more discussion and deliberation was the parking requirement for the site. To that end, the applicant has prepared five alternate scenarios for development on the site with the expressed goal of increasing the total number of parking spaces. In doing so, the applicant has focused on the four following variables which directly or indirectly affect the total number of parking spaces: 1). Total number of dwelling units 2). Unit type and unit mix 3). Parking ratios based upon unit size 4). Landscape and park areas In evaluating the five alternate scenarios, the applicant has used the original parking plan, as presented on July 13, 2015, as the baseline for comparison. Rather than focusing on pros and cons of each scenario, the applicant and staff have instead chosen to identify the trade-offs associated with each of the scenarios. For example, additional parking spaces could be added on the surface of the site, however, the trade off in doing so is a reduction in the total amount of landscape and park area due to increased paving and increased need for winter time snow storage. 5 10/6/2015 IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION As this is a worksession, the Community Development Department will not be forwarding a recommendation at this time. A formal recommendation will be provided at the time of the final public hearing on this application. X. ATTACHMENTS A. Vicinity Map B. Applicant's Request C. Proposed Draft Plans D.

Open Space/Recreation Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces are permitted uses within the Project. Each of these uses are an important element of the Project and critical to ensuring the creation of a desirable neighborhood for families. The open space areas provide opportunities to protect the more steeply sloping hillside on the westerly end of the Project and creates areas to plant landscape buffers between the Project and the adjacent commercial uses. It is, however, important to make the outdoor areas within the Project more than just open/green space. The outdoor areas between the buildings provide opportunities for semi -private outdoor spaces for the owners and the larger outdoor area running through the center portion of the Project is to be used as a shared, passive outdoor recreation area. The open space and recreation areas shall developed 14 10/6/2015 consistent with the improvements shown on the Landscape Plan and Open Space and Recreation Plan. VIII. Phased Development Development of the Chamonix Parcel will be completed overtime and in a series of development phases. According to findings of the Market Analysis — Chamonix For -Sale Employee Housing, dated March 30, 2014, completed by Rees Consulting, Inc., phasing of the development from a marketability stand point will likely not be necessary. However, pre -sales conditions, mortgage availability, pricing and sales structure, construction financing options, development approach, market risk tolerance, down valley competition, and absorptions rates, for example, all weigh heavily on the Town's ability to complete the development in a single phase. A phased development approach reduces risk, provides flexibility, is more responsive to a changing market, and allows the development to better target certain segments of the buyer's market in an effort to meet the affordable housing needs of the community. IX. Amendment Procedures Upon adoption, it is recognized that the Approved Development Plan may need to be amended from time to time. As such, amendment procedures are hereby adopted as an element of the Approved Development Plan. Amendments to the Approved Development Plan will be considered in accordance with the provisions of section 12-9A- 10 of #4&44[e -the Zoning Regulations. X. Exhibits 1.

Setting Forth Certain Amendments Thereto, and Setting Forth Details in Regard Thereto. PRESENTER(S): Martin Haeberle, Chief Building Official & Mike Vaughan, Fire Marshal ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications or deny Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015 upon First Reading. BACKGROUND: The International Building Codes are updated every three years to maintain minimum standards for the technical advances in building sciences and material innovations that are being used by the construction community. The proposed 2015 Building Codes also reflect the changes mandated by the State of Colorado Building Codes. In order to maintain the high quality of construction practices used in Vail, to protect the life safety and welfare of our community, it is essential to adopt the most current standards available. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development Department, Fire Department and Building and Fire Code Board of Appeals recommend the Vail Town Council approve Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015 upon first reading. ATTACHMENTS: Staff Memorandum Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015 Ordinance No. 14 with modifications noted 10/6/2015 rowN ofvain Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: Building and Fire Appeals Board Community Development Department Vail Fire Department Date: September 24, 2015 Subject: Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015. Adoption of the 2015 International Building Codes I. SUMMARY The purpose of this memorandum is to propose to the Vail Town Council the adoption of the 2015 International Building Codes as recommend by the Building and Fire Appeals Board of the Town of Vail. The members of the Building and Fire Appeals Board making this recommendation are: • Mark J. Mueller, PE Structural Engineer • Steve Loftus Mechanical Engineer • Rollie Kjesbo General Contractor • Kathy Langenwalter, RA Architect • Kyle Webb, RA Architect • Mark Hollenbeck General Contractor • Mark Donaldson, RA Architect In order to continue to be a premier resort community there is a need to maintain a current set of building codes that safeguard the public health and safety. The comprehensive set of codes proposed will establish minimum regulations for the design and installation of building systems through requirements emphasizing performance. II. BACKGROUND The building codes are updated every three years after an extensive code development processing in which all interested and affected parties may participate. This allows for the codes to stay current with laws and technology that affect the construction industry. Areas most notably changed in this code cycle are: • Coordination of mandated state building codes with the town building codes • Clarification of automatic fire sprinkler/ alarm regulations. • Existing building code provisions are now a separate code. 10/6/2015 The Building and Fire Appeals Board has held public hearings monthly over the last nine months reviewing the changes from the previously adopted building codes and amendments to the 2015 Building codes for the purpose of recommending the adoption of the 2015 Building Codes by the Vail Town Council. In addition, the Board held meetings with members of the local construction community to receive input on changes to the building codes and possible amendments. This was done in concert with other jurisdictions throughout Eagle County. The Board has revised many of the amendments in the towns current building code items that are know found within the body of the building code, or out of date with current technology. The Board has also added provisions that address construction practices that are unique to our community. Public input has been a key factor in these changes. On July 23, 2015 the Building Fire and Appeals Board unanimously approved Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015, for consideration by the Vail Town Council. The Community Development Department and Town of Vail Fire Department are in support of this recommendation to the Vail Town Council. III. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE VAIL TOWN COUNCIL The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015 upon first reading. If approved, the effective date shall be January 1, 2016. This will allow for a minimum of two training sessions for members of the construction industry prior to implementation.

Through September 24th, approximately 15,000 bags have been distributed to residents and guests, equating to nearly 45,000 plastic bags eliminated in one month (assuming a reusable bag displaces 3 plastic bags). • 8,000 reusable bags have been distributed to lodging properties based on number of units 7,000 reusable bags have been distributed to residents and guests at free give away events (town picnic, store giveaways) and town offices (Welcome Centers, Municipal Building, and Community Development). 10/6/2015 The remaining bags are still available to residents and guests at the designated pick up locations (Welcome Centers, Municipal Building and Bag Bank locations). The bulk of these bags are expected to be distributed in the early winter and holiday season at additional give away events. Media An extensive media campaign that included radio, bus boards in all town buses, print ads, in store signage, and television ads helped to prepare the local community for the program. During give away events at the stores, staff received feedback that those patrons without reusable bags were aware of the change, they had just not yet gotten in the habit of keeping bags with them.

Comments range from "It's about time", to "Thank you", to "I wish my community would do this". Since the passage of Ordinance No. 2, only a handful of negative calls and e-mails have been received. Staff has received two calls and the town has received two e-mails with a negative tone. Both store managers reported that program implementation was "not as bad as they had expected" and they were also receiving more positive feedback than expected. In response to questions posed by residents staff has also issued a Frequently Asked Questions, which may be found: http://www.vailgov.com/announcements/kick-the-bag-habit- a nswers-to-you r -q u esti ons IV. RESULTS The month of August showed strong initial results in terms of single -use bag reduction. Based on fee remittance forms submitted by the grocery stores 15,319 (8,022 from Safeway and 7,292 from City Market) paper bags were distributed in August. A total of $1,225 has been remitted to the town (based upon 20% of the total fees collected retained by the grocery stores.) This represents a 93% reduction in single -use bags from status -quo. V. NEXT STEPS As the ski season approaches staff will place an additional $1,000 in Vail Daily ads, utilize free low or no -cost radio opportunities, host give-away events and ensure the lodging community and welcome centers are well -stocked with reusable bags. Staff is also working to include a Kick the Bag Habit component on the new Love Vail website, www.lovevail.org.
