If so, how much and which home type(s)? Is the subsidy to be spread equally across all home type(s)? Which of the two site plan options does the Vail Town Council authorize the Team to move forward with; Site Plan B or Site Plan C? Are there any significant changes that need to be made to the floor plan designs before continuing forward with design development drawings and the construction budgeting process? Background: To date, the Vail Town Council has made a number of key decisions in the planning for the Chamonix Neighborhood in West Vail. The development team has relied upon these decisions to advance the development to its current iteration. More decisions are needed. Three decisions lie in the critical path of the development, and, as such, the development can not continue forward until decisions are made and direction is provided. Decisions are required regarding financial subsidy, unit mix, and floor plan design. Staff Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends the following: 1. Instruct the development team to advance the design development drawings of each of the five, floor plan designs and layouts (Type 1— 5), as presented. 2. Instruct the development team to advance the design development drawings of Site Plan B containing the unit mix as presented. 3. Advance with the next level of due diligence with systems built vendors. 4. Maintain the current level of subsidy (i.e. land, infrastructure, soft 5. cost, profit). No further subsidy is recommended. 6. Continue forward with the marketing and reservations campaign as contemplated within the scheduled timeframe proposed and set the lottery for May of 2017.

Deed restriction and lottery selection process for the future development of the Chamonix Neighborhood at West Vail. Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Community Development Action Requested of Council: The Vail Town Council will be asked to make a final determination on the deed restriction and lottery selection process. A determination on these two matters is needed to continue forward with the Chamonix Neighborhood marketing and reservation processes. Background: The Chamonix Neighborhood development helps the Vail Town Council achieve its adopted goal of "growing a thriving and balanced community'. To do so, however, a deed restriction for occupancy of the new homes and a lottery selection process are needed. On December 6th, the Vail Local Housing Authority presented its recommendation for both the deed restriction language and the lottery selection process to the Vail Town Council. At the conclusion of the presentation the Town Council instructed staff to prepare a final recommendation on these matters for a public hearing. No substantial changes were made to the recommendation since the work session on December 6th. Staff Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends the Vail Town Council approves the proposed deed restriction language and lottery selection process as presented. The proposed language and process further the Town's stated guidelines and goals for the Chamonix Neighborhood development and help the Town achieves its objective of creating, maintaining, and sustaining community by constructing a for -sale, deed restricted housing development that provides home purchase opportunities for persons and families employed in Eagle County and committed to make Vail their permanent place of residence. Ruther presented the recommendations for the deed restriction programming. There were some changes suggested related to owning real estate that would not limit it to Eagle County. Chapin asked for public input at this time. Wendy Erb, resident, expressed support for employment within Eagle County Gwen Scalpello, resident, expressed concern about Vaill offering to subsidize and solve Eagle County's housing problems. Moffet moved to approve the proposed "deed restriction language" with one change to address property ownership (to remove Eagle County). Bruno seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). Council consideration was given the Lottery Selection Procedures, outlined below: • Each qualified home buyer shares an equal chance of being selected. Town Council Meeting Minutes of December 20, 2016 Page 8 January 17, 2017 - Page 12 of 4 • In an instance of multiple home buyers within a household (i.e. marital spouses) each individual home buyer may have a separate chance of selection provided each individual is capable of qualifying independently. • Qualified home buyers shall select the home(s) for which they are interested in purchasing by placing their name into the hat for said home(s). A certified list of all names within the 32 hats will be created prior to commencing the drawing. • One qualifying home buyer's name will be drawn at random for each of the 32 homes. • The selected home buyer for each of the homes will have the option to execute a pre sale agreement, on its terms, for the home which they selected. If the selected home buyer declines the option, a new qualifying home buyer's name will be drawn, and so on, until a pre sale agreement is executed for the home. This process will be repeated for each of the 32 homes. • In an instance where a qualified home buyer is drawn for more than one home, they shall be limited to executing a pre sale agreement for only one home. Once the desired home is selected and a pre sale agreement is executed, the qualified home buyer's name shall be removed from the lottery selection process. • If a home buyer declines acceptance of a home, or otherwise fails to execute a pre sale agreement within the established timeframe, the home buyer shall forfeit their position and 1) request to have their name placed back into possible future drawing, or 2) be removed from the lottery selection process for said home entirely. • A lottery drawing schedule shall be established. Qualified homebuyers need not be present to be drawn Ruther proposed a requirement that the participant/representative must be present during the lottery selection. There was consensus to gather more public input on this topic. A "mock lottery" was conducted with town of vail employees. Pubic input was requested at this time with comments from Chris Fitzgerald and Wendy Erb. Public comment was closed at this time. The lottery process discussion would be scheduled again for additional public input at the next meeting, January 3, 2017. Zemler thanked Ruther and VLHA for their effort on these topics. 7.4.

Action Items 4.1. Recommendation for the lottery selection process for the future development of the Chamonix Neighborhood at West Vail. Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Community Development Action Requested of Council: Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendation for the lottery selection process? If not, what specific changes to the lottery selection process are required? Background: Demand for purchasing a new home in the Chamonix Neighborhood at West Vail development is high. Presently, hundreds of people have expressed an interest in the 32 new homes slated for development. With current demand exceeding the available supply, it is recommended that the Town of Vail conduct a lottery process for selecting the future buyers of the new homes at the Chamonix Neighborhood. Ruther summarized number business points presented in the packet memo as follows: Given the stated objective, it is recommended that the selection process not include weighted preference towards place or longevity of residency or place or longevity of employment. Instead, a true lottery selection process whereby each qualifying home buyer shares an equal chance of being drawn is recommended. A true lottery selection process: • is the most equitable means of selecting future home owners • helps to achieve the Town's objective • minimizes the Town's risk • increases opportunity for participation • avoids the perception of social engineering • demonstrates an evolution of improvement to other lottery processes To that end, it is recommended that the lottery selection process include the following requirements for participation and is conducted using the following procedures: ✓ Completion of a Chamonix Neighborhood Home Buyer Qualifying Application. The Application shall include: • Demonstrated ability to comply with the terms of the deed restriction if drawn for • home purchase. • Demonstrated ability to secure financing for the home(s) desired. • Signed acknowledgement of acceptance of the terms of the Chamonix Neighborhood Pre -sale Agreement and Purchase/Sale Agreement. • Demonstrated participation and successful completion of a Town of Vail or Valley Home Store sponsored Homebuyer Education Class within the previous 6 months. • The unit number(s) (i.e.1-32) of the home(s) interested in purchasing. ✓ One chance in the lottery selection process per Qualifying Application. Ruther spoke about a "mock lottery" process that helped them iron out some of the challenges and noted the marketing and reservation web portals would launch in the near future. Council input included some of the following: • Preference that people who want to be part of the lottery do not own other property • Preference that the guidelines address working less than 30 hours per week due to disability would occur after purchasing a unit Town Council Meeting Minutes of January 3, 2017 Page 2 January 17, 2017 - Page 17 of 4 • Preference that the system does not include any "weighted system" and concerns that the suggested lottery it is weighted towards those who have approvals for higher purchasing ability Chapin invited public input at this time. • Bobby L'Heureux, Minturn resident, expressed concerns about the pricing of the units; he was hopeful to qualify but with the current proposed price points he would not qualify. • Wendy Erb, resident, expressed concerns with the suggested lottery system and preferred names be put into a hat first and then once chosen the person would have the opportunity to select the unit type. • Chris Fitzgerald, resident, expressed concerns about giving someone too many chances to get a unit; he suggests the process described is one that is weighted to those who are in a higher financial bracket. • Kim Fuller, Minturn resident, asked that they reconsidered who they would like to live in Vail; she was hopeful to qualify for the units, but would likely have challenges at the current pricing. There were council concerns about the suggested lottery process as it related to conducting lotteries for each unit type which would favor those who were qualified to purchase at the highest price. There was support to "level the playing field" with the process; it was suggested to include only one primary lottery drawing and eliminate the drawings for each unit type. Chapin reminded the public the final decision about the lottery process would only apply to the upcoming Chamonix project. Ruther agreed to review the suggestion with the VLHA, the group who had made the original recommendation for the lottery process. He also noted he would conduct a "mock lottery" to test their preferred lottery process. 4.2.

(PEC16-0030) Town Council Meeting Minutes of January 3, 2017 Page 3 January 17, 2017 - Page 18 of 4 Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Community Development and Matt Panfil, Town Planner Action Requested of Council: The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016, upon first reading. Background: The purpose of the proposed Special Development District (SDD), is to facilitate the redevelopment of the former Roost Lodge site with a 170 unit Marriott Residence Inn limited service lodge (LSLU), 107 Type III deed -restricted employee housing units (EHUs), six (6) unrestricted rental dwelling units, and a commercial parking facility, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West. Staff Recommendation: The Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission recommends that the Vail Town Council approves, with conditions, Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016 on first reading, to allow for the establishment of Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, and set the date of the second reading of this ordinance for Chapin opened the public hearing at this time. Staff Planner Matt Panfil presented the topic noting this agenda item would be a continuation of the last meeting's hearing. He distributed public comment letters and a letter from MPG dated 12/31/16 to the council members. The project timeline was reviewed and he addressed several questions related to 1) the clarification on length of leases, 2) updates on shuttle services, 3) how will the parking be assigned. There was a brief summary about the order of those presenting made by the Town Attorney. Chapin then asked for public input. Community members spoke as follows: • Randall Guerriero, Meadow Road resident, expressed concerns about the bulk, size and mass of the project, too big. He asked why Vail Resorts and other larger employers would not be part of the employee housing resolutions. He expressed concerns about several topics: ✓ The number of units proposed for housing and the impacts of the additional people on the neighborhoods ✓ how the deed restricted units would be monitored the leasing of the units, etc. ✓ how would parking in the neighborhood be monitored and managed ✓ the traffic impacts and ability of the turn lanes to mitigate the impacts ✓ He asked council members to reconsider allowing the size of the project. • Brooks Bock, representing Grand Traverse Homeowners Assn, noted their association has considered the project and would request the following: 1) do not grant any height variance, and 2) request the developer create a landscape buffer between the Grand Traverse property and the Marriott property. • Deena DiCorpo, resident, asked why does the neighborhood need to absorb so much of the affordable housing? She expressed concerns that the park is already overburdened and the project is just too big for the neighborhood. She asked them to be smart & take care of the residents. • Greg Bemis, Meadow Ridge Road, expressed concern about the size of the project noting it does not add to Vail's character, the project is too large for this property and there should be some setback from the road. • Rob LeVine, former GM of the Antlers, expressed empathy for the neighborhood and support for the project because of the affordable housing component and the need for this kind of lodging in Vail. If built, it could help solve some problems for employees and guests. Town Council Meeting Minutes of January 3, 2017 Page 4 January 17, 2017 - Page 19 of 4 • Sherry Dorward, resident and local landscape architect, expressed concerns about density, mass, bulk, height, and how it faces the frontage road. She requested there is a better design and site plan placement of the buildings, more integrity to the architecture, requested further review of the financial viability of the project further study of the traffic impacts with a plan to mitigate such impacts. • Dave Coltrain, resident, expressed support for the project for the employee housing units. • Pete Feistmann, resident, expressed that full financial disclosure be revealed by the project developers. He was concerned about the risk of failure of such a project and how the deed restricted units would be protected in light of failure. He requested there be a detailed review of the pro forma and financials on the project. • Wendy Erb, Meadow Ridge Road, expressed concerns about the following: • should be an evaluation about "locations" for employee housing • the project is too large, too much mass, bulk, and height • the calculation of GRFA of the employee units as part of the total square footage • below grade construction for parking • size of the retaining walls and slope failures • the financial backing of the project and the risk for the project to succeed • environmental impacts, i.e. noise, pollution, light • submitted two photos of the Roost Lodge showing height • requested the developer speak about the project and his background • Chris Burns, resident, expressed concerns about the lack of communication about the project, noting notifications were not sent to the neighborhood. He was concerned about how the units would be affordable and if the town were really getting benefits from the project. • Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership, expressed support for the project and the housing units; a project that would help solve lodging and housing. He noted the many approved SDDs in Vail that have been successful in providing benefits to the community. • James Wilkins, resident and member of the Vail Local Housing Authority, expressed the need for the project, his concern about the neighborhood becoming more second homeowners. He spoke in support of master zoning and planning the neighborhood and noted there would be a need for redevelopment that would likely include higher density; higher heights and better use of the existing land in Vail. He asked that everyone consider the longer view of the community. • Steve Lindstrom, west vail resident and chairman of the Vail Local Housing Authority, expressed support of the project and noted lack of housing at a critical state. This project would help solve this for the community. The public comment as part of the hearing was closed. The applicant, Peter Dumont, President of Harp Group, and Dominic Mauriello, Mauriello Planning Group, presented at this time. They addressed topics as follows: ✓ Their willingness to show the financial backing of the project ✓ The background of the investor and developer Mr. Dumont ✓ Additional information about the requested variances, setbacks and height ✓ A review of the design criteria ✓ The timeline of the project and related approvals Council comments were heard at this time. ✓ Requested clarification of the units, market vs. deed restricted ✓ Would there be requests from the developer for funding of the project; Mauriello responded there would be no request for funding for the project Town Council Meeting Minutes of January 3, 2017 Page 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 20 of 4 ✓ The size of the retaining walls were questioned ✓ Concern about access to the property and the traffic patterns ✓ Concerned about how to protect the deed restrictions ✓ Employee housing should serve employees only working in Vail ✓ Parking impacts should be evaluated ✓ The project meets community goals of housing After further discussion a motion was made by Moffet who moved to approve on first reading Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016, First Reading, An Ordinance establishing Special Development District No. 41 (Marriott Residence Inn), pursuant to Section 12-9(A), Special Development Districts, Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a limited service lodge and deed restricted employee housing units and a conditional use permit for public or commercial parking facilities or structures, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West/Lots 9- 12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto, citing the conditions and findings as recommended by the PEC, outlined below: The ten (10) conditions as follows: 1.

January 17, 2017 - Page 30 of 4 TOWN IfO VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017 - A Resolution Supporting the Goals of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) for the Eagle County Community. PRESENTER(S): Kristen Bertuglia, Environmental Sustainability Manager ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests the Vail Town Council review the Climate Action Plan (CAP) for the Eagle County Community, participate in the discussion and consider for approval Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017. BACKGROUND: Over thirty (30) diverse stakeholders from the Eagle County community participated in a nine (9) month-long process to develop the CAP and associated goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025 and 80% by 2050 in accordance with the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (I PCC). The Vail Town Council is being asked to approve Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017, in support of these goals. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council adopt Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017, and utilize the recommendations of the CAP where appropriate in developing the next phase of the Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan. ATTACHMENTS: Description Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017 Memorandum Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017 Presentation Attachment A - Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017 Attachment B - Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community January 17, 2017 - Page 31 of 4 TOWN OF5111.11) Memorandum TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 17, 2017 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017, a resolution supporting the goals of the Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I. PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum and presentation is to present for adoption Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017, supporting the goals of the Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community (CAP). 11. BACKGROUND Over thirty (30) diverse stakeholders from the Eagle County community participated in a nine (9) month-long process to develop the CAP with the intention of meeting the following goals: 1. Set meaningful, achievable greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for Eagle County. 2. Educate and engage our community about climate change. 3. Build on the knowledge and commitment of fellow community members. 4. Collaborate across towns, agencies, and organizations. 5. Support and reflect state goals and regional efforts. Colorado Climate Trends Given the trends in the Colorado climate of an increasing average annual temperature, (up 2.5° F) in the last fifty (50) years, daily minimum temperatures increasing more than daily maximums, timing of peak runoff and snowmelt shifting 1-4 weeks earlier in the season, and about 23 more frost -free days per year', along with an increase in wildfire season by nearly a month (according to District US Forest Service officials), local action and international leadership to slow the impacts of climate change is critical to Vail's sustainability as the premier resort community. The impacts on Colorado flora and fauna are also well documented. For example, marmots now come out of hibernation 38 days earlier than in the 1900s, robins arrive 2 weeks earlier while some never leave, and larkspur and helianthus bud too early and then freeze, impacting butterflies and other insects. Future projections Models indicate earlier spring snowpack decline and continued shift in peak snowmelt, as much as a 6.5° F statewide average temperature increase by 2050, with summer temperatures increasing more than winter and more extreme wildfire, drought, and flood events. Climate Change in Colorado: A Synthesis to Support Water Resources Management and Adaptation. A report for the CWCB. 2014. Jeff Lukas, CU CIRES WWA. http://cwcb.state.co.us/environment/climate-change January 17, 2017 - Page 32 of 4 Eagle County Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Supported by Eagle County government, Clean Energy Economy for the Region (CLEER), a Garfield County non-profit organization, performed a greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Eagle County. Results indicate that Eagle County has a higher per capita emissions rate than the US and Colorado averages (24 metric tons [mT] of carbon dioxide equivalent [CO2e] vs. 16 mT CO2e and 17 mT CO2e respectively).

Vail's greenhouse gas emissions are comparably higher than other communities, due to high impact from ski industry, guests, snowmelt and transportation. With a low population but high guest attendance, per capita emissions are skewed.

III. CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IN PRACTICE By adopting Resolution No. 2, Series of 2017, the Town of Vail will add to its climate action goals by adopting the 25% emissions reduction target by 2025 and 80% by 2050 included in the CAP (note: the CAP uses a baseline year of 2014, making the town's goals slightly more aggressive). The stakeholder committee put forth this target based upon the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which states: Town of Vail Page 2 January 17, 2017 - Page 33 of 4 In order to stabilize CO2 concentrations at about 450 ppm by 2050, global emissions would have to decline by about 60% by 2050. Industrialized countries greenhouse gas emissions would have to decline by about 80% by 2050. [This] will require keeping the total global average warming to no more than 1.1 C°/2°F above present levels.2 As the CAP was a collaborative and aspirational plan, specific pathways to reaching 80% emissions reductions by 2050 have not been fully vetted, however the ideas and concepts of the CAP will inform the next phase of the ESSP, which serves as a roadmap for the Town of Vail to achieve the goals with more specific actions. The CAP contains six categories of recommended strategy areas: 1) Education and Outreach, 2) Commercial Buildings, 3) Waste and Landfill, 4) Residential Buildings, 5) Transportation and Mobility, 6) Energy Supply. Each category includes corresponding action items that the County communities may take to achieve their climate goals. Adoption of Resolution No 2. does not obligate the Town of Vail to action, but rather to support the overarching goals of the CAP and utilize the framework in future sustainability planning. IV. NEXT STEPS FOR THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN To date, the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners, the Avon Town Council, and the Western Eagle County Metro Recreation District have adopted resolutions in support of the CAP. The towns of Minturn, Eagle, Basalt, and the Eagle County School District are scheduled to adopt the CAP by the end of February. The next phase of the CAP will include a series of task force meetings to fully vet the recommended action items, more detailed modeling and technical expertise, and community outreach and education.

Mountain regions are particularly vulnerable due to their hydrology, ecology, and recreational economies. In the past 30 years, the annual average temperature in Colorado has increased by 2.0°F (Lukas et al., 2014), and Eagle County's natural environment is feeling the effects. The timing of snowmelt and peak runoff has shifted earlier in the spring, and there are more frost -free days (days with minimum temperatures above freezing) than there were before the 1980s. These fewer days of freezing temperatures impact the water storage in our snow pack, alter the timing and amount of river runoff, hamper the ability to make snow for skiing, debilitate the health of our forests and wildlife, increase the threat of forest fires and flooding, and subsequently, put at risk the very basis of our recreational economy and daily lifestyles. Local climate change takes place within the context of global climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent GHG, has increased by 40% from 280 parts per million (ppm) in the pre -industrial era to 400 ppm today, a level that the earth has not seen in at least 800,000 years, due primarily to the burning of fossil fuels (Lukas et al., 2014). Each of us has a responsibility to take action to reduce GHG emissions and prevent increasing negative impacts of climate change. We can be proactive and embrace the challenge of climate change. We can learn to change; we can take action and innovate; and, we can each do our part to ensure a sustainable future for our Eagle County community. Each of us has a responsibility to take action to reduce GHG emissions and prevent increasing negative impacts of climate change. January 17, 2017 - Page for the Eagle County Community I Page 2 January 17 This Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community is the culmination of a year-long effort that included more than 30 community stakeholders. Their tasks were to develop targets for the reduction of GHG emissions for the entire community within Eagle County and to identify and prioritize projects and policies by sector that will help the community achieve those targets. The plan calls for aspirational, yet achievable, targets for overall GHG emission reductions: 25% by 2025, and a minimum of 800/o by 2O5o. The 2050 target is in alignment with the recent recommendation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014). In order to meet the established targets, this plan also contains project recommendations for the community, including the county government, towns, businesses, nonprofits, and other partners to begin immediate climate action, as well as plan for the future. Stakeholders hard at work discussing solutions. The stakeholders met regularly from March to November 2016, and each meeting included educational components, as well as activities to engage and solicit stakeholder feedback on critical elements of the plan. The stakeholders represented a diverse and engaged group of community leaders, county and municipal government employees, and representatives from key industries in the community. Guest speakers added technical expertise and an outside perspective to the process. Collectively, the plan reflects the strong values of the Eagle County community including our health and well-being, our natural environment and recreational economy, and our potential as leaders in creating a robust post -carbon economy. Highlights of the plan were shared at three public open house meetings during September 2016. A survey was available at the open house sessions and on the Walking Mountains Science Center website to solicit feedback and public comments. The stakeholders recommended the final plan for adoption by the Board of Eagle County Commissioners and other elected officials in December 2016.

The Eagle County Board of County Commissioners made "climate action planning" a priority in the County's 2016 strategic plan, and Walking Mountains Science Center's Sustainability and Stewardship Programs Department was contracted to convene and facilitate a stakeholder and community - driven climate action plan. The resulting Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community reflects a strong commitment to reduce the community's GHG emissions by a minimum of 80% by 2050, an amount in alignment with that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014). Local, regional, and state efforts have become the cornerstone of climate action because national and international energy policy and emissions reduction efforts are slowed and often stifled by policy, politics, and bureaucratic processes. Furthermore, local governments and communities are often in a better position to engage citizens and have an immediate and direct impact toward reducing GHG emissions. This climate action plan is specifically focused on mitigation. Climate mitigation is defined as efforts that reduce or prevent GHG emissions. Climate adaptation is defined as efforts that help the community prepare for and adjust to the current and future impacts of climate change. Although this plan does not specifically address climate adaptation, other efforts are being taken throughout the Eagle County community to prepare for the changing climate. The stakeholders believe that future climate action planning initiatives should integrate both mitigation and adaptation. January 17 , 2017 - Page 57 of 450 This Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community includes a vision for success—what success looks like, and how it can be achieved. The actions recommended in the plan are broken into six sectors: 1) education and outreach, 2) residential buildings, 3)commercial buildings and industrial operations, 4) transportation and mobility, 5) waste and landfill, and 6) energy supply. Detailed actions and projects have been identified by the stakeholders to support GHG emission reductions in each of the sectors. The plan also includes recommendations for decision makers at all levels within the community, ranging from needed policy changes to on -the -ground activities. Broader public comment on the plan was solicited during September 2016 at three open house sessions, and the community's ideas were incorporated into the final plan. This final plan has been approved by the stakeholders with a strong recommendation for adoption by all local governments, including special districts, businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions, and neighborhood associations, the goal is that GHG reduction targets are consistent with the ability of each entity to select the strategies and actions that are most appropriate for their situations. WHY CLIMATE ACTION? WHY NOW? The plan includes a vision for success — what success looks like, and how it can be achieved. We live in a county that is heavily dependent upon climatic conditions. As the climate warms, we enter an era of uncertainty. Imagine our ski and snowboard season starting a month later and ending a month earlier than it does now. Imagine hotter summers affecting our daily activities and our recreational opportunities. Imagine Western Slope ranchers and farmers facing severe droughts without enough water for crops and livestock Scientific research indicates there will be increasing changes to the flows of our streams and rivers. There will be earlier snowmelt in the mountains and an increase in wildfire on our surrounding open lands. There is also evidence of future changes to our daily health and well- being due to increases in insect -borne diseases like West Nile virus, Lyme disease, and the length and intensity of allergy season. Due to these local effects of climate change, communities across the state of Colorado and the U.S. are creating their own climate action plans and making significant commitments to reduce GHG emissions. Eagle County Community I Page 6 January 17, 2017 - Page 58 of 4 "Reducing greenhouse gases requires honesty, courage, & responsibility... There is a nobility in the duty to care for creation through daily actions." Pope Francis "Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.."Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014) "Earth -orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate. The heat -trapping nature of CO2 and other gases was demonstrated in the mid -19th century. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the earth to warm in response."NASA (2016) SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS ON CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENTISTS AGREE (97%) 1 SCIENTISTS UNSURE (3%) References: IPCC (2014) and Doran and Zimmerman (2009) CO2 is a heat -trapping GHG. As we burn more coal, natural gas, and oil, the "blanket" of GHGs in the atmosphere gets thicker, and the earth gets hotter. "Climate change has and will continue to impact the state's resources in a variety of ways, including more rapid snowmelt, longer and more severe droughts, and longer growing seasons."(Gordon and Ojima, 2015) Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 7 January 17 , 2017 - Page 59 of 450 2014 Eagle County Energy Costs by Source Total energy costs: $243.5 million Gasoline Diesel and Aviation Fuel $139,516.465 57% Electricity $74,437,425 31% Natural Gas $29,528,161 12% **More than half of energy costs in 2014 were for transportation fuels, primarily from passenger vehicles on Interstate -70. Source: Eagle County Energy Inventory, 2016. As a mountain resort community, much of Eagle County is made up of second homes, hotels, and energy -intensive tourism and recreation facilities. The amount of money that leaves the local economy due to high energy expenses is a compelling reason alone to tackle this issue and create solutions. The Eagle County community releases 1.4 million metric tons of CO2 each year, at a cost of $243.5 million (Eagle County, 2016). Based on 2014 energy costs, if we achieve a 2570 reduction in GHG emissions by 2025, we could retain $60 million annually in the local economy and create new jobs in the sustainability industry. Our per capita rate of CO2 emissions, 25 metric tons per person per year, is 30% higher than the national average. One of the challenges to solving climate change is that GHGs are invisible. It can be helpful to think of one metric ton of CO2 as the equivalent of one full hot air balloon. For the Eagle County community, we can imagine 1.4 million hot air balloons floating up from the county each year. If we achieve a 25% reduction in GHG emissions by 2025, we will retain S60 million annually in the local economy. for the Eagle County Community I Page 8 January 17, 2017 - Page KEY FINDINGS From the 2014 Eagle County Energy Inventory Inventory: Emissions by Sector Aviation 39,562 3% Landfill 131,328 On ground vehicles 378,615 27% Residential Building Energy Use 391,448 28% Commercial - Industrial Energy Use 446,106 32% If we don't take action, GHG emissions will increase Buildings and commercial energy uses in our community had larger emissions (600/0) than on -ground vehicles (27%) or landfill (10%) The single largest source of emissions, at 39%, was from generation of electricity used to power residential and commercial buildings and facilities About 22% of electricity was generated from renewable sources, and of that, 1% from solar. The bulk of our electricity during 2014 was produced from coal-fired power plants (62%) and natural gas generation (16%) In the vehicles category, 79% of emissions were from SUVs and passenger cars; 21% were from trucks and tractor trailers.

Included in this graph are energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings, more renewable energy from utilities, climate -friendly transportation, and reductions to waste in the landfill. Even with future population growth, the Eagle County community can be successful at climate action. The actions forecasted in this graph are a good start to climate action, but more actions will need to be included in order to meet the 25% by 2025 and minimum of 80% by 2050 GHG reduction targets. • 1 g • c 1 How YOU Can Cut One Ton of Carbon Pollution: Switch out 25 incandescent lights with LED Reduce single car use by 2,400 miles / year Replace 5 old fridges with Energy Star models Install 1 KW of Solar Electric (3 panels) Shut off lights, work stations, and equipment when not needed Get help from Energy Smart Colorado, and make improvements to your home or business e County Community 1 Page 10 nuary 17, 2017 - Page 62 of 450 The Eagle County Community is Ready to Take Action The stakeholders involved in creating this plan believe that the Eagle County community is now ready and committed to undertake climate action. Involvement in the following existing programs is a good demonstration of peoples' engagement and interest: Over 50 local businesses are certified "Actively Green" in sustainable business best practices, and awareness of the program is increasing as businesses realize the financial, environmental, and marketing benefits of engaging employees and customers in sustainability. More and more local businesses are also participating in the Colorado Environmental Leadership Awards program. Through the Energy Smart Colorado program, more than 1,000 homes in the county have received energy assessments, and more than 600 homes and 200 businesses have completed energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements, resulting in over 6,000 metric tons of carbon emission reductions annually. Many more homes are adding rooftop solar; the number of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified buildings in the community is increasing; and, new community "solar gardens" are becoming a popular way for homes and commercial buildings to attain renewable energy. Holy Cross Energy board members and community volunteers installed a new solar array in Gypsum. Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 11 January 17 active/green EnergySmart COLORADO , 2017 - Page 63 of 450 Ja Many community events now incorporate "zero waste" collection of recyclables and compostables while educating participants and diverting the majority of potential waste from the landfill. New electric vehicle charging stations are being added throughout the community, and more people are taking advantage of state and federal incentives for new purchases and leases on electric vehicles. Across the Eagle County community, there is a growing desire and demand for sustainable infrastructure and systems that will engage and enable people to participate in reducing GHG emissions. Another major reason why action should be taken now is that population growth in Eagle County is increasing. The state census found that there were 52,831 residents in the county in 2014. In less than 25 years, the county residential population is expected to increase to 94,000 people, or more than 40% by 2040 (DOLA, 2016). The growing population will result in more cars on the road, more homes being built, and more support services such as schools, stores, water infrastructure, and other utilities—all of which consume more energy and generate more GHG emissions. Increasing GHG emissions into the future will contribute to escalated climate change and create negative impacts on the natural environment around us. The projected temperature increases, changes to snowpack and local water resources, health effects on residents and visitors, impacts to the recreation -based economy, increasing population growth, and demands on energy supply are compelling reasons to take climate action seriously. There is an urgent call -to -action for the Eagle County community and local decision makers to collaboratively undertake decisive, meaningful policy and programmatic changes in the areas of energy use in homes and commercial buildings, transportation, waste, energy supply, water conservation, and climate change education. nuary Goals for the Climate Action Planning Effort Set meaningful, feasible GHG emission reduction targets Identify projects and policies to achieve targets Educate and engage the community about climate change Build on the knowledge and commitment of the stakeholders Collaborate across towns, agencies, and organizations Support and reflect state goals and regional efforts Serve as a model for other communities C . to Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 12 January 17 TARGETS FOR GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTION 25% by 2025 50% by 2035 70% by 2045 80% by 2050 *from 2014 Baseline (See 2014 Eagle County Energy Inventory - Appendix C) There are three main types of targets found in climate action plans: (1) directional (i.e., up or down from a baseline), (2) analytical (i.e., based on extensive modeling and projections), and (3) aspirational, (i.e., set to achieve something great). The stakeholders set an aspirational target for the year 2050, with interim targets, as well. These aspirational targets are realistic with concerted community action, and yet, they are high enough to have considerable impact and significance. The reduction targets refer to the 2014 Eagle County Energy Inventory data as a baseline. The climate action plan calls for the community to measure and monitor reductions on a regular basis, such as every three years. By 2050, the Eagle County community will reduce GHG emissions by a minimum of 80%. This target is in alignment with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recommendation for reductions of GHG emissions by industrialized nations (I PCC 2014). The stakeholders agree that, while challenging, this aspirational target is a goal that must be achieved in order to foster a significant set of actions to reduce GHG emissions. In addition, collaborative impact would be greater by assuming a target that is in alignment with what the I PCC set, as many other local, regional, and state goals align with the target of 80% reduction by 2050. The science behind this aspirational target has been well -vetted by thousands of climate scientists, and it doesn't need to be defended or re -calculated. Lastly, this robust target will outlast changes in local political leadership that will naturally occur between now and 2050. By 2025, the Eagle County community will reduce GHG emissions by 25%. The stakeholders set an interim target that will require considerable efforts and hard decisions, but it also allows adequate time to achieve results. This target is consistent with goals set by other communities. By setting a considerable reduction—one quarter of the emissions the community emits now—some actions beyond the "low -hanging fruit" will be required. The aim is to get moving quickly on making annual GHG reductions throughout the community. The stakeholders also feel that the slogan "25% by 2025" would be compelling and effective for early communication efforts throughout the community. Using these targets, other interim reductions were calculated using a linear approach. The stakeholders agreed that a linear projection of emissions reduction would be the most understandable by the public, even though in reality, there might be large reductions followed by periods of fewer reductions as actions are put into place in different sectors at various times. Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 13 , 2017 - Page 65 of 450 RECOMMENDED GHG REDUCTION GOALS & STRATEGIES BY SECTOR One of the most common ways that communities assess where gains can be made in reducing GHG emissions is by breaking down the source of emissions into understandable categories. These categories, or sectors, make decisions and actions for reducing GHG emissions easier during plan implementation. This plan contains six "sectors" that correspond to the particular climate action opportunities throughout the Eagle County community: 1) education and outreach to help inform sustainable climate -friendly behaviors, 2) residential buildings, 3) commercial buildings and industrial uses, 4) transportation and mobility, 5) waste and landfill, and 6) energy supply. Listed in the following section are the top goals and strategy recommendations for each climate action sector. A full list of ideas generated by stakeholders is provided as Appendix A. for the Eagle County Community I Page 14 January 17, 2017 - Page January 17 EDUCATION AND OUTREACH Greater community awareness and understanding of climate change is needed so that people can participate in climate -friendly sustainable behaviors in their daily lives at home, at work, and throughout the community. Effective community engagement in climate action strategies requires partnerships between multiple sectors, targeted education and outreach methods, and continual evaluation of program successes. Education and Outreach: Top Recommended Strategies • Use social -science research on climate change communications and education to inform strategies. • Create a climate action 'tool kit' to share throughout the community. • Develop a cross -sector Eagle County climate education team and education plan to reach all ages and demographics in Eagle County. Include Eagle County Schools, private K-12 schools, Colorado Mountain College, Walking Mountains Science Center, and other partners. • Create a county -wide marketing campaign to raise awareness to engage the community in projects and programs. Include regular announcements through e -newsletters and social media. • Ensure community equity so that climate action is all-inclusive and provides equitable social, economic, and health benefits. • Utilize special event platforms to share messages, provide resources, and engage participants in behaviors such as zero waste events and bike -to -work days. • Incorporate soil -health education to improve carbon sequestration and engage the community in stewardship. • Expand and enhance existing educational programs: - Actively Green sustainable business training and certification program, - Energy Smart Colorado energy efficiency coaching for homeowners, businesses, contractors, and realtors - Colorado Mountain College Certificate in Sustainability Leadership and Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies - Eco -Schools program for K-12 schools, supporting student learning and measurable GHG reduction through energy education and behavior change at schools - Colorado State University Extension Service programs and resources. • Ael Sue l RI n.apk.:t�:• :i• rtili,niflo Ixi beer 4 -Era JrJ x COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLI.I:GF..

ESC Home Energy Assessments • 2025 = 26,870 mt CO2e • 2050 = 64,203 mt CO2e REDUCING EMISSIONS: RESIDENTIAL Residential homes create 247. of the total GHG emissions generated in Eagle County. There is a significant opportunity to reduce residential energy use with increased energy efficiency and conservation efforts. The Colorado State Demographer reports that of Eagle County's 31,675 housing units (this figure does not include commercial lodging properties), 38% were considered "vacant" or unoccupied in 2014. Energy efficiency retrofits from local programs, such as Energy Smart Colorado, can reduce a home's energy use by 20-30% and save residents hundreds of dollars on their annual energy bills. Residential Buildings Sector: Top Recommended Goals and Strategies Reduce GHG emissions 25% below 2014 levels in the residential buildings sector by 2025. For existing residential buildings, expand the local Energy Smart Colorado energy efficiency program and incentives in order to reduce GHG emissions in 25% of all residential buildings in Eagle County by 2025, 50% of all residential buildings by 2035, and 100% by 2050. Provide support and incentives for rental units to be updated with energy efficiency improvements. For new residential buildings, adopt "above building code" standards and provide incentives, including "net zero" codes, that are consistent across jurisdictional boundaries throughout Eagle County. Update Eagle County Eco -Build mitigation fees to include all energy -use for large homes over the average Eagle County home size of 3,700 sq. ft., not just offsetting heated exterior surfaces and pools. Promote and incentivize efficient use of water in interior and exterior of residential buildings. Continue partnerships with local energy utilities in order to leverage more economic incentives. 2014 700,000 500.000 w 500,000 0 u 400,000 ... 300,000 200,000 100,000 .11 Residential Buildings Sector Mitigation Wedges 2025 1.

This graph is a hypothetical scenario that includes the following GHG abatement pathways: 1) electricity from the grid would include 50 renewable energy by 2050 and 100% renewable energy by 2050, and 2) Energy Smart Colorado would reach the recommended goal of 100% of homes in Eagle County receiving home energy assessments, and half of those homes would complete deep energy retrofits. This graph illustrates that the Eagle County community can take climate action and make significant GHG emission reductions. Fixing aging, leaky buildings is a great start toward effective climate action, but more actions will be needed to reach recommended targets. (BAU = Business As Usual) for the Eagle County Community I Page 16 January 17, 2017 - Page January 17 REDUCING EMISSIONS: COMMERCIAL Commercial buildings and facilities account for the top sources of GHG emissions in Eagle County. A large amount of energy waste occurs due to inefficient buildings, high energy demands, deferred maintenance, inattention to building performance, and inefficient behavior on the part of occupants. Given current advances in energy efficiency technology and financing programs, there can be up to 40-60% reduction in building -generated GHGs (American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, 2014). The commercial buildings that exist today will be inhabited into the foreseeable future; therefore, maximizing building efficiency will help ensure reduced energy demands well into the future. Commercial Buildings Sector: Top Recommended Goals and Strategies Reduce GHG emissions 25% below 2014 levels in the commercial buildings and facilities sector by 2025. For existing commercial buildings, expand the Energy Smart Colorado energy efficiency program and incentives in order to reduce GHG emissions in 25% of all commercial buildings in Eagle County by 2025, 50% of all commercial buildings by 2035, and 100% by 2050. Provide support and incentives for buildings over 10,000 square feet to measure and track their energy use through CLEER's Energy Navigator, the Energy Star Portfolio Manager, or other energy monitoring tools. For new and newly remodeled commercial buildings, adopt "above building code" standards and incentives, including "net zero" codes that are consistent across jurisdictional boundaries throughout Eagle County. Promote and incentivize efficient use of water. Continue partnerships with local energy utilities in order to leverage for more economic incentives. Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 1 , 2017 - Page 69 of 450 TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY The majority of GHG emissions from transportation are generated from passenger vehicles. The Eagle County community faces a significant challenge due to Interstate -70 and the many vehicles that pass through the county. Nevertheless, significant improvements in local transportation, mobility systems, and infrastructure can reduce locally generated GHG emissions dramatically, while engaging residents and visitors in healthy climate -friendly lifestyles. Transportation and Mobility Sector: Top Recommended Goals and Strategies • Reduce GHG emissions 10% below 2014 levels in the transportation and mobility sector by 2025. Consider FREE bus service and expanded services throughout the county. • Continue to pursue rail transit opportunities to utilize the existing railroad tracks from Dotsero to Leadville. • Expand the network of electric vehicle charging stations and promote state and federal incentives for purchasing electric vehicles. • Incentivize and encourage multi -modal transportation, including park-and-ride locations and safe county -wide bike commuting paths and lanes. • Strive for compact mixed-use communities and land -use patterns with affordable workforce housing in close proximity to job centers to enable walking, biking, and transit. 1,000.000 900,000 800,000 700,000 04, 600,000 o 500,000 4g 400,000 300,000 200,000 100,000 Surface Travel Sector Mitigation Wedges 2014 2025 - 1.

(BAU = Business As Usual) January 17, 2017 - Page 70 of 450 le County Community I Page 18 January 17 WASTE AND LANDFIL The waste and landfill sector refers to methane GHG emissions that result from anaerobic decomposition of organic waste in the landfill. During the first 20 years after its release into the atmosphere, methane gas is 84 times more potent as a GHG than CO2. The 2015 Eagle Valley waste diversion rate was 19.6%, and the recycling rate was 26.9%. There is an effort at the national and state levels to transition away from disposal and towards materials management. The greatest positive impacts in this sector can be realized through reducing materials altogether through more sustainable purchasing practices. Waste and Landfill Sector: Top Recommended Goals and Strategies Meet and exceed the current Eagle County landfill waste diversion goal of 30% diversion rate by 2030, and set an inspiring and achievable waste diversion target that is above the national average. Divert 30% of organics currently landfilled by 2030 through increased composting infrastructure and services. Support sustainable purchasing policies and practices, and incorporate supply chain management systems. Add new programs and infrastructure to increase recycling and composting in public areas that are currently deficient, and address hard -to -recycle items like, construction waste and mattresses. Support and incentivize recycling and composting services for multi -family buildings which often face challenges, such as high resident turnover and contamination of recycling containers. Integrate local waste diversion plan and solutions with the 2016 Colorado Integrated Solid Waste & Materials Management Plan, designed to provide guidance, cost analysis, strategies, and recommendations to communities and local governments.

Compostable organics, including paper, account for 607. of the overall tonnage brought to the landfill on an annual basis. (BAU = Business As Usual) Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 19 , 2017 - Page 71 of 450 ENERGY SUPPLY In 2004, Colorado became the first state in the U.S. to create a renewable energy portfolio standard in order to reduce GHG emissions. As the primary provider of energy for buildings and commercial uses throughout the Eagle County community, member -owned utility Holy Cross Energy provides electricity and strives to be a conscientious steward of natural resources. Holy Cross Energy was a pioneer in Colorado, offering consumers the option of purchasing renewable energy to offset GHG emissions. Partnering with utilities, such as Holy Cross Energy, Xcel Energy, and Black Hills Energy, is key toward making large-scale energy supply transitions. Energy Supply Sector: Top Recommended Goals and Strategies • Create more financial resources and incentives, and increase the capacity of exterior energy offset programs within the Eagle County community (examples: Eagle County Eco - Build Program, Avon Exterior Energy Offset Program, and Aspen Renewable Energy Mitigation Program), and strive for consistency across jurisdictional boundaries. • Research feasibility of local and regional locations for community solar arrays. • Encourage utilities to set aggressive goals to reduce their GHG emissions and transition over time away from coal-fired power production.

Identify people to guide the implementation and follow-through of recommendations in the current plan—designate a task force and hire sustainability/climate staff as needed within local governments and large businesses. eAllocate funds for implementation of projects and infrastructure. O Collaborate across jurisdictional boundaries for greater impact and likelihood of success. O Measure and monitor GHG reduction impacts over time. O Begin to address climate change adaptation. Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Pag , 2017 - Page 73 of 450 WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE? Successful community -driven GHG reduction efforts have several key elements that are centered on realistic and achievable targets, community endorsement and support, and strong alignment with community and organizational values. At the onset of the planning process, the stakeholders identified the following elements that are critical to long-term success of the Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community. Set Realistic and Achievable Targets • GHG reduction targets must be achievable and measurable • A diverse number of GHG emissions reduction strategies and projects are needed • Actions must be taken by local governments • Progress should be monitored regularly • Celebrate successes along the way to reaching larger goals Community Endorsement, Ownership, and Support of this Plan is Critical • There must be broader community awareness of the need for climate action • Individuals should understand their impacts and responsibilities • Private sector participation and public-private partnerships are keys to success • There must be simple, accessible opportunities for individuals to take action • The community has the tools and resources to reach short and long-term targets Align the Plan with Community and Organizational Values • Local governments adopt the plan and hold values that align with the plan • The plan integrates benefits to the economy, the environment, and social equity • The plan is a catalyst to coordinated climate action across jurisdiction boundaries • Local organizations are aligned with the plan and keys to its success • Local governments strive to coordinate across boundaries • Minimize policy restrictions that limit people's abilities to take action • Community -wide climate change education is imperative Despite the rewards of success, there are challenges to climate action planning and implementation. These include concerns about communication to and adoption by the public, leadership and prioritization of climate change by decision makers, lack of available funding for new projects, lack of long-term coordinated climate action effort, and tangible obstacles such as technology and infrastructure. January 17, 2017 - Page for the Eagle County Community I Page 22 January 17 CONSIDERATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION ■ Breadth of community: Develop programs and education for both residents and guests ■ Celebrate successes: Take time to recognize accomplishments along the way ■ Clarity: Use language and communication tools that the public can understand ■ Funding: Decision makers prioritize funding for GHG mitigation actions ■ Diversity: Include a variety of people, strategies, and actions to ensure success ■ Implementation: Decision makers support human resources to enact projects and policies ■ Infrastructure: Be ready to make tough decisions about infrastructure and building codes ■ Measurement: Develop metrics that can be monitored and used by all stakeholders ■ Longevity: Instill a culture of sustainability, and enact policies that outlast changes in leadership ■ Resistance to change: Tackle incremental actions that build confidence ■ Unity: Support towns, county, and other organizations in new climate action partnerships CaII To Action The success of this plan rests in the hands of the community and its leaders at many levels. The stakeholders have identified projects, programs, and policies that are both feasible and meaningful for the Eagle County community. In order to meet the 2025 target of 25% reduction of GHG emissions, and the aspirational but critical goal of achieving the 2050 target of a minimum of 80% reduction, this plan must be adopted quickly, shared throughout the community, and supported with meaningful resources. Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 23 , 2017 - Page 75 of 450 APPENDIXES Appendix A: Project Ideas & Recommendations 0 0 Pj 0 This Appendix includes detailed tables for each of the six sectors including a basic explanation of each and why they matter. This section also includes lists of recommendations for reducing GHG emissions through water conservation and soil carbon sequestration. The tables include an overview of what is already being done in Eagle County, as the county, towns, and other entities have already undertaken meaningful work in reducing GHG emissions. Finally, the tables include details on programs, projects, and policies that can be undertaken to reduce GHG emissions. These robust lists were developed by the stakeholders in order to provide all users of this climate action plan a place to begin mitigating GHG, and they are reflective of the "triple bottom line" of people, planet, and profit. The stakeholders' intent is that the county, towns, and other entities use these tables to help guide conversations about planning, policy development, and project implementation. The tables on the following pages also include three columns highlighting ideas that the stakeholders felt would be of special interest to businesses, towns, and the county. InCommercial Buildings and Industrial Energy This sector includes traditional commercial buildings, multi -family housing, ski area operations, and commercial area heated streets and driveways. Why focus on the commercial building sector? At 32% of 2014 emissions, this sector constitutes the largest component of the Eagle County community's GHG emissions. The emissions from this sector can be mitigated through incentives for commercial building owners and landlords, new energy efficient technologies, community solar gardens, education, and sustainable practices in the hospitality sector. What's already being done: Energy rebates from Energy Smart Colorado (Eagle County Eco -Build Fund, Avon Exterior Energy Offset Program) and Holy Cross Energy, Actively Green Sustainable Business Training and Certification Program, county and municipal goals to reduce energy use, private sector sustainability initiatives, Eco -Schools programming, and more.

Why focus on the residential building sector? Residential building -use constituted 28% of emissions in the Eagle County community in 2014. This large component of the community's emissions can be addressed with homeowner education, energy efficiency audits and incentives, building codes, and other local programs.

It also includes the Eagle County Regional Airport. Why focus on the mobility sector? Almost 300/0 of the Eagle County community's 2014 emissions came from this sector (3% was from the Eagle County Regional Airport). This sector represents an area in which great gains can be made with policy, infrastructure, education, and a "culture change" among residents and visitors.

Why focus on the waste reduction sector? Reduce -Reuse -Recycle, all three R's are important. In 2015, the overall waste diversion rate of the Eagle Valley was 19.6%. This included general recycled materials, organic materials including yard waste, and household hazardous waste including electronic waste. Eagle County has set an overall waste diversion goal of 30% by 2030. The Eagle Valley recycling rate was 26.9% in 2015; this is below the national average of 34%. Waste reduction, recycling and composting, and sustainable purchasing are areas in which the community can have a greater impact through policy, better infrastructure, education, and programs. A 2010 study of the waste stream at the Eagle County landfill revealed that 40% of current landfill waste could be processed as compost if a commercial scale facility were available. What's already being done: Eagle County Materials Recovery Facility, waste haulers provide recycling, county and town supported recycling drop- off sites, e -waste collection events, zero waste events, collaboration amongst Eagle Valley Waste Diversion Steering Committee, waste reduction goals set by local governments and other entities, Actively Green Sustainable Business Training and Certification Program, Eco -Schools, and other programs. One town has recently implemented a plastic bag ban and a recycling ordinance. Educational tours to the landfill and recycling facility are very popular.

Conserving water can play an important role in reducing GHG emissions. The storage, transport, and delivery of water for commercial, residential, and agricultural needs lead to significant GHG emissions. The stakeholders recommend several strategies to conserve water and save energy: • Educate people that all water consumed has to be pumped and processed, requiring energy • Support water utilities and local governments in initiatives to reduce water consumption in facilities and operations • Include more heat recovery systems that use heat energy from discharged treated effluent, such as Avon's Community Heat Recovery System that heats the pools at the Avon Recreation Center using heat energy from the Avon Waste Water Treatment Facility • Reduce use of water in residential and commercial properties • Develop small hydro plants for electricity generation • Create a study on incentives to switch to xeriscaping for buildings and residences • Work with HOAs to promote low water use and energy efficiency practices Carbon Sequestration and Land Management Organic matter holds carbon in the soil. Land management, landscaping, farming, and ranching practices that support healthy soil development can also be important ways to capture, or sequester, GHGs in the soil and help protect the atmosphere. Below are recommendations related to carbon sequestration: • Engage agencies, such as CSU Extension, USDA, NRCS, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, and The Ground Up, to provide education on land management techniques that increase carbon storage • Reduce methane emissions by stopping biodegradable materials from entering the landfill, composting can be a vital way to restore and protect the climate • Promote leaving grass clippings on the ground to return nutrients to the soil • Reduce impermeable surfaces, and encourage catchment of water that promotes healthy ecosystems • Encourage green roofs with native plant species that do not require a large amount of water • Reduce use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that are made from fossil fuels that contribute to climate change • Encourage holistic approaches during revegetation and restoration after disturbances, such as after building and infrastructure construction or after natural disasters (e.g., fires and flooding) Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community I Page 33 , 2017 - Page 85 of 450 Appendix B: Stakeholder Meetings and Public Engagement Information Guiding Principles for Stakeholder Group • Value each other's and the community's input and knowledge • Keep in mind the triple bottom-line: "people, planet, profit" • Take calculated risks • Address all sectors that contribute to GHG emissions • Develop meaningful goals and metrics to show progress through time • Strive for informed consent on decisions Stakeholder Meeting Dates March 21, 2016 April 18, 2016 May 23, 2016 June 20, 2016 August 22, 2016 November 14, 2016 Stakeholder Meeting Notes and Materials Meeting notes, slideshow presentations, and other supporting materials can be found at www.walkingmountains.org/cap.

To calculate motor vehicle energy use, the research team determined that the best available method was to use Colorado Department of Transportation traffic statistics for Eagle County. CDOT data does not include county roads or city streets. Because of this missing information, this inventory's estimate is inherently conservative and is very likely an underestimate of total transportation energy use. Because of the economic importance of 1-70 to the region for destination traffic, the high percentage of local traffic on 1-70, and the built-in underestimation due to missing city street traffic, the research team chose to include 100 percent of 1-70 traffic to represent the county's total vehicle miles traveled. 12.

The majority of gasoline and diesel fuel use is for vehicles that carry passengers. The two bars on the right represent small and large passenger vehicles. Combined, they account for 79 percent of gasoline and diesel gallons used in Eagle County. Medium and heavy-duty trucks and semis use 21 percent of gasoline and diesel gallons. Energy Efficiency: Energy efficiency programs need to address electricity consumptions in residential, commercial and industrial sectors across the county. The greatest potential for emissions reduction is in commercial sector energy use. Renewable Energy: Partnering with Holy Cross Energy to increase the amount of renewable energy in the utility's power portfolio will decrease emissions from electricity consumption. Transportation: Programs should focus on reducing passenger vehicle travel and shifting to cleaner -burning alternative fuels. Key components should include increased availability of public transit, growth in public electric vehicle charging stations and use of electric vehicles, and more bicycle travel options within communities. Policy: Local government partners should work toward similar policies that reduce emissions, such as energy efficiency 13.

Within the U.S. transportation sector, light-duty vehicles (including passenger cars and light-duty trucks) were by far the largest category, responsible for 61 percent of emissions. Medium - and heavy-duty trucks made up the second largest category, with 23 percent of emissions. Between 1990 and 2013, emissions nationwide in the transportation sector increased more in absolute terms than any other sector (i.e. electricity generation, industry, agriculture, residential, or commercial). building codes, land use codes that encourage compact walkable communities and transit -oriented development, and multi -modal transportation planning. Areas of Further Study • Travel pattern study to assist with local traffic emissions calculations and planning for mass transit. • Updated waste composition study at the Eagle County Landfill to ensure more recent data is incorporated into future inventories and to acknowledge improvements at the landfill. • Energy use study to differentiate between occupied and unoccupied housing. • Energy use study specifically focused on resort operations. 091740 06 abed - L 40Z `L I. /Genuer Eagle County Energy Inventory/ 2014 data on energy consumption, spending and emissions / April 2016 Appendix Energy and Emissions by Population and Household Per capita and per housing unit calculations are one way to compare one community's energy use to others, even when population totals are different. However, these calculations can be difficult to apply in a resort -dominated community such as Eagle County. Per Capita: A per capita calculation divides energy use or emissions by the permanent population of the community, as shown in Chart 1 (page 1). The Eagle County population used for this calculation was 52,831. Chart 1 shows a much higher rate of emissions per capita for Eagle than for Colorado or the United States. Eagle County's large resort industry, which includes ski lifts and on -mountain facilities, and a high density of lodging, dining and retail establishments in eastern Eagle County, acts like other large energy -using industries would in skewing the per capita emissions figure. Per Housing Unit: Per housing unit calculations are another means of comparing one community's energy use to others, specifically in the residential sector. These calculations divide total energy use in the residential sector by the number of households or residential service meters in that community. This calculation excludes emissions from the commercial sector, avoiding the imbalance seen in Chart 1. However, the per housing unit calculation is also difficult to Energy per Household per Year, 2014 14. Energy Use, in million BTUs 15.

Summit Co. apply in Eagle County, because a high percentage of residential units are used sporadically or seasonally as second homes and vacation rentals. These second homes and vacation rentals use energy whether they are vacant or occupied, although they would presumably use less energy when vacant. The Colorado State Demographer reports that of Eagle County's 31,675 housing units (this figure does not include commercial lodging properties), 38 percent were considered "vacant" or unoccupied in 2014. Colorado's average vacancy rate in 2014 was 7.6 percent. Utility companies, however, do not differentiate between permanently occupied homes and sporadically occupied second homes and vacation rentals. So it's impossible, without further study, to calculate energy use by permanently occupied compared to sporadically occupied homes. For this inventory, the research team ran the per housing unit calculation both ways, dividing all residential energy use by all housing units (second bar from right in Charts 15-18), and dividing only by permanently occupied units (right bar). Neither bar accurately depicts average household energy use for Eagle County. Dividing by all units yields a low per-unit average, while dividing only by occupied units yields an unfairly high per-unit average. The true number is probably somewhere in between.

Upon review of a presentation by the town staff and the applicant, and listening to public comment, the Vail Town Council members provided input on the proposed application. A list of concerns of the Town Council is outlined below: • The proposed building is a large structure. The overall bulk, mass and scale of the building may not be compatible with the surrounding uses or structures. Can the overall size of the building be reduced? January 17, 2017 - Page 96 of 4 • The proposed height, length and overall size of the proposed retaining walls are of concern. Can the overall size of the retaining walls be further reduced? • The proposed on site vehicular traffic flow may be confusing. As designed, there is a likelihood of motorists travelling the wrong way on the one way portion of the driveway. Can a second dedicated left turn lane be installed on the North Frontage Road to minimize the likelihood of the wrong way vehicular travel? • The proposed application may not comply with each of the nine design criteria. What additional changes can be made to the proposed application to ensure compliance with the design criteria? • 107 of the 113 proposed dwelling units are to be deed restricted for employee housing per the Town of Vail employee housing guidelines. As such, the Town of Vail becomes a beneficiary of the deed restriction. What assurances exist to ensure the 107 deed restricted dwelling units are occupied by residents in compliance with the housing guidelines and terms of the deed restriction? • 107 dwelling units will be deed restricted. Among other requirements, the terms of the deed restriction require the units to be occupied by person employed 30 hours week, on average, at a business licensed within Eagle County. Can the occupancy of the deed restricted units be limited to employees employed at a business licensed within the Town of Vail only? • The proposed below grade parking garage has roughly 29 parking spaces in excess of the total number of spaces required by the Vail Town Code. What negative impacts, if any, result from the public use of the 29 surplus spaces? The applicant has evaluated possible solutions to the concerns shared by the Vail Town Council. Though no formal changes have been submitted, the applicant has suggested that several options exist. In summary, the options include: • Lower building height. • Reduced building mass • Reduction in the total number of deed restricted units • Change in the total number of surplus parking spaces • Dedicated left turn lane • Installation of vehicle entry and directional signage • Limitation on pet ownership • Improved landscape planting plan A copy of a letter from the applicant, dated January 12, 2017, more completely describing the options, has been attached for reference. Town of Vail Page 2 January 17, 2017 - Page 97 of 4 III. OPTIONS FOR ACTION OF THE VAIL TOWN COUNCIL There are a number of options for action of the Vail Town Council. This section of the memorandum outlines the options for action and provides proposed motions and findings. The Town Council may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the proposed ordinance on first reading; or continue the first reading to a later date. If the Town Council finds the proposed revisions to the application comply with the nine design review criteria and votes to approve the ordinance on first reading and move forward to a second reading, or, if the Town Council votes to approve the ordinance, with conditions, town staff will work with the applicant to address the applicable conditions of approval, prior to second reading. A proposed motion, with findings, is provided below: Motion to Approve or Approve, with Conditions If the Town Council finds the proposed revisions to the ordinance to be in compliance with the nine design review criteria, and therefore wishes to approve or approve, with conditions, the revised application upon first reading, the Town Council should pass the following motion: "The Vail Town Council approves on first reading the application to establish Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, based on the revised plans presented to the Town Council on January 17, 2017 showing a reduction in the building height by two feet eight inches (2' 8'), with 96 Employee Housing Units, six (6) non -deed restricted apartments, and 170 Limited Service Lodge Units, pursuant to Section 12-9(A), Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a limited service lodge and deed restricted employee housing units, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West / Lots 9- 12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto, and sets the date of the second reading of this ordinance for February 21, 2017" Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve, with conditions, Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016, to allow for the establishment of SDD No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the following conditions: 1.

Any future development proposal for the site shall require a new application. Town of Vail Page 6 January 17, 2017 - Page 101 of Mauriello Planning Group January 12, 2017 Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 c/o Matt Panfil, AICP Town Planner Re: Marriott Residence Inn and Employee Apartments — Changes to Plans since January 3 Dear Town Council: This letter, in addition to the clarifications provided to you in my December 31, 2016 letter, is intended as an update on the changes we are proposing to the project based on the concerns we heard expressed by the Town Council on January 3, 2017. We believe that the changes now proposed address many of the critical issues we heard expressed. We understand that there are no perfect development projects that have been proposed or built in Vail. We also understand that decisions regarding development projects can be emotional and vulnerable to a great deal subjectivity and personal opinion. Even in the application of objective criteria, this emotional dimension can come into play. The applicant has responded to critical issues expressed, just as he has throughout the entire course of this process, whether from PEC, DRB, Council, or neighbors/citizens. We believe that if you look at what is proposed, what zoning allows, and the shape of the development parcel in an objective way you can clearly see how the benefits of this project outweigh the relatively minor deviations from the zoning regulations. The changes to the plans and project we have proposed should make the the decision to approve this project a justifiable one. We are requesting that the Town Council approve the Marriott Residence Inn and Workforce Housing project on first reading. At second reading, February 21, all conditions and changes would be documented in the ordinance and with revised plans. Below is a list of revisions and changes to our proposal: PO Box 4777 Eagle, Colorado 81631 Page 1 of 5 Mauriello Planning Group 970.376.3318 www.mpgvail.com January 17, 2017 - Page 102 of 1. Building Height Lowered. The plans have been revised by lowering the overall building another 3'-4" (aka 40"). This was done by pushing the entire building into the Earth another foot and also by changing the construction methodology such that the floor to floor depth was reduced by another 2'-4" (aka 28"). This change brought the west half of the building almost completely under 48'. There are a few roof forms and a portion of the green roof that project above the 48'. In order for the west half of the building to be under the 48' (except for allowed architectural projections such as stair towers, elevator towers, and related spaces), the mass and floor area of 5 employee housing units had to be removed from the middle/rear of the building and the front (south elevation) of the building. The removal of these 5 employee housing units caused the other 6 employee housing units on the upper level adjacent to the hillside to the east to be eliminated as separate units. This was due to life safety exiting requirements for those spaces. The floor area of those 6 employee units were added to 6 units on the floor below allowing for two story units with internal circulation. The result are 6, 4 - bedroom units. See the diagrams attached showing the height, location of remove mass, revised elevation, and comparison the to previously approved hotel (2013). 2. Reduction in Building Mass. As explained above, 5 employee housing units were removed from the upper level of the building in order to be under the 48' height limitation. This change removed bulk and mass from the project in addition to the lowering of the building. 3. Reduction in Employee Units. As explained above, with the removal of the 5 employee housing units from the building and the conversion of the remaining 6 units to two-story units, there is a loss of unit count of 11 total units. The 6 two-story units are now proposed as the unrestricted rental units (no local occupancy requirement) with a total floor area of 12,600 sq. ft. or 2,100 sq. ft. each. This change is also necessary to make the financial pro -forma still work after the reduction of the 5 employee housing units and associated rents. The total proposed unit count of deed restricted units is 96, which is still a considerable public benefit to the community. The total rental apartment count is 102. 4. Reduction in Parking Requirement and Increase in Public Parking. As represented on January 3, the parking space count within the two below grade parking levels was reduced to 331 spaces due to providing a below ground parking structure setback of 20' to the west property line or approximately 40' between building foundations of the proposed structure to that of the neighbors. With the loss of 11 employee housing units, along with the multiple use credit afforded by the Town Code, the revised parking requirement for the project is 302 parking spaces. Thus there is a surplus of 29 parking spaces that can be leased and made available publicly. 5. Left Turn Lane. A Traffic Report was prepared for the project by Kari Schroeder, PE of McDowell Engineering. The report was developed with the input and review of CDOT and the Town of Vail. CDOT has certain standards and traffic thresholds that determine when left turn lanes and right turn deceleration and acceleration lanes are required. This is based upon the proposed traffic characteristics and volumes of the project and traffic volumes on the adjacent Page 2 of 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 103 of roadways. The report looks at current conditions and conditions 20 years into the future. Based on the volume of traffic generated by the project and traffic volumes projected on the North Frontage Road, there is no need or warrant for a left turn lane into the eastern access to the property in the next 20 years. There is however the need for a left turn lane for the western access and one is being provided. While the casual observer may like the idea of a turn lane, it is really a waste of resources and adding more pavement to an already overly paved roadway. We reviewed the concession that was afforded the developer of the Lion's Ridge project. There was also a request made on that project for a left turn lane. The concession approved by the Town was that the developer did not have to provide the turn lane but that if the Town decided it was needed, then the developer would reimburse the the Town for the cost of adding the turn lane. This developer would like the same opportunity. We propose that if the Town builds a left turn lane to the east access within 5 years of the approval, then the developer will pay for the costs of the improvement. If the turn lane is not developed within the five years, then the developer is off the hook. 6. Arrival Confusion. There was a concern expressed about the traffic circulation of the site and that it might be confusing to hotel guests. We believe that we have a solution to this issue. First of all, the confusion, if there was any, would likely only occur for a person arriving to the property for the first time and arriving from the west. The first access encountered for persons arriving from the east, puts the guest on the service drive to the front door and eventually the parking garage so there is likely no confusion. The applicant plans to have the main, larger, entrance sign to the hotel located at the east access. For the first time guest this will be a prominent indication of the primary entrance to the hotel. At the west access will be directional signage focused on the Frontage Road with a arrow pointing to the east for Hotel Entrance. If that doesn't work and the guest still pulls into the west entrance, there will be a directional sign directly in front of the guest at the top of the parking ramp stating "Hotel Check -In Parking in Garage," with an arrow directing guests into the garage. At the bottom of the ramp there will be another sign that says "Hotel Check -In." Within the garage there will be two parking spaces labelled Hotel Check -In Parking and signage directing the guest to the elevator. This is really no different than if you pulled into a parking lot at a hotel and parked, instead of going to the porte cochere, and walked in to check-in. Page 3 of 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 104 of Also with the signage located at the west access and top of the ramp to the parking garage would be text for "Hotel Self Parking and Tenant Parking." At the west access would be tasteful signs and pavement markings indicating the flow of traffic on the driveway across the front of the building and Do Not Enter or Wrong Way signs to prevent guests from traveling in the wrong direction. The applicant believes this will be easily understood. Guests and tenants, after they have arrived once at the property will also fully understand the operation. 7. Dog restrictions. There was some concern expressed about the number of dogs that might be allowed on the property and that there may be too many for the site. The applicant is proposing to limit dog rooms at the hotel to 10 rooms. Additionally, only 50% of the apartments would allow dogs and those that do would be limited to one dog. We believe that this addresses the concern over the number of dogs that might be present on the property. 8. Tree Buffer for Grand Traverse. The Grand Traverse HOA and the immediate Grand Traverse homeowner have requested an adequate tree buffer be planted on the HOA open space parcel to help screen views of the project. The applicant will fund and/or plant 12 - 20 Blue Spruce trees (or other variety desired by the HOA) subject to the HOA approval of specific locations prior to CO of the project. With the proposed changes, the deviations from the Town Code are very limited. Above ground, the deviations are simply the retaining wall height hidden behind building and the minor height protrusions (90% of the building is under 48') explained above (see height graphic). The retaining wall height deviation allows for the majority of the workforce housing units to be built (i.e., you can't have subterranean units without windows). The other deviation is the amount of site coverage, now reduced with the 20' setback on the west side of the property. Additional site coverage below ground has been encouraged throughout the community as it affords huge benefits without negative impacts. Examples of additional site coverage granted for below grade parking include the plaza at Solaris, the landscape area at the Sonnenalp, all of the streets and plazas around the Arrabelle, and the courtyard at the Antlers, to name just a few. Below grade setbacks for the parking garage, while listed as a deviation, could be accomplished under the provisions of the PA -2 zone district without the need for an SDD. So what is before you on January 17 is a trade-off of retaining wall height, minor roof penetrations, and below grade site coverage in exchange for the opportunity to add 102 rental apartments, 96 of which are deed restricted forever. We've demonstrated in our attachments and will demonstrate at the hearing, that the length of the facade and the bulk and mass of what is proposed is very similar to the stand alone hotel project previously approved by both the PEC and the Town Council in 2013. There is no design guideline or code provision in this zone Page 4 of 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 105 of district that prevents the bulk and mass as proposed. As you have seen from the revised graphics of the proposed building, the proposed building is very tastefully designed with significant relief provided within the building facades. The hotel market has improved in the last year since we started this process. A stand-alone hotel project on this property is much more appealing financially now than what is currently proposed. We want to be part of the housing crisis solution so we created this plan. If housing is not the need and we are unable to obtain approval as currently proposed, the applicant will just submit a very similar sized hotel building which complies 100% with the PA -2 zone district development standards as a Use By Right (20' setbacks, above and below grade, 48' building height, compliant retaining walls, minimum employee housing requirement to satisfy the hotel needs, and parking in accordance with code). Hotels and employee housing are the only uses permitted by right on the property and the bulk and mass of a hotel will be virtually the same. This result would be a significant loss to addressing workforce housing crisis in Vail and send a clear message to the development community. Please don't let this happen. We look forward to a positive and productive hearing on the project on January 17. The graphics attached compare the 2013 approved hotel plans with the new revised January 17 plans for the project. The graphics also show where the massing changes were made. Also included is the previous and proposed building height diagram showing how the height was reduced. Sincerely, w, Dominic F.

Town of Vail Page 2 January 17, 2017 - Page 122 of A vicinity map (Attachment A), revised project narrative (Attachment B), transportation impact study (Attachment C), revised plan set dated November 28, 2016 (Attachment D), summary of changes to the previous plans (Attachment E), all public comments received prior to November 23, 2016 (Attachment F), an appendix of related planning documents (Attachment G), a draft Conditional Use Permit (Attachment H), and information about Lion's Ridge parking (Attachment I) are attached for review. III. BACKGROUND The site is the former location of The Roost Lodge, which was built in the early 1970s. The Roost Lodge featured 72 hotel rooms, one (1) dwelling unit, and a paved surface parking lot. All structures associated with The Roost Lodge were demolished in 2015. Dating back to 2006, several different redevelopment scenarios have been proposed or approved for this location. Using the table provided by the applicant on page nine (9) of the project narrative, the different redevelopment scenarios are summarized as follows: PA -2 Standard 2006 Approval 2012 Approval 2013 Proposal 2016 Proposal Density 49 DUs 28 DUs 0 DUs 6 DUs LSLUs 101 152 176 170 GRFA 75,842 sq. ft. 75,031 sq. ft. 82,485 sq. ft. 89,466* Building Height 48' 48' 48' 59.5' Site Coverage 51% 51% 51% 95%** Landscape 44% 44% 44% 31% Setbacks Front Side (East) Side (West) Rear 20' 15' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 20' 0'*** 0' 0' 0' Parking 128 spaces 169 spaces 165 spaces 360 spaces Loading 1 berth 1 berth 1 berth 3 berths EHUs 3 Type III 1 Type IV 2BR, 1 Type IV Dorm, and off-site housing for 4.95 employees 2 Type IV Dorm, and off-site housing for 6.56 employees 107 Type III ** *** The LSLUs account for 84,466 square feet of GRFA and the six (6) multi -family dwelling units will account for no more than 4,000 square feet of GRFA for a maximum total of 89,466 square feet. The applicant has not yet identified the specific six (6) multi -family dwelling units, but once identified they will not exceed a combined GRFA of 4,000 square feet. The EHUs account for 94,410 square feet, but they do not count towards GRFA or density per Vail Town Code. The site coverage is 55%; the site coverage including the below grade parking facility is 95%. The above grade setbacks are all at least 20 feet; the setbacks for the below grade parking facility are zero feet (0). Town of Vail Page 3 January 17, 2017 - Page 123 of IV.

The LSLUs account for 84,466 square feet of GRFA and the six (6) multi -family dwelling units will account for no more than 4,000 square feet of GRFA for a maximum total of 89,466 square feet. The applicant has not yet identified the specific six (6) multi -family dwelling units, but once identified they will not exceed a combined GRFA of 4,000 square feet. The EHUs account for 94,410 square feet, but they do not count towards GRFA or density per Vail Town Code. The site coverage is 55%; the site coverage including the below grade parking facility is 95%. Deviations from the Underlying PA -2 Zoning District: 1. Setbacks: Section 12-7J-6, Vail Town Code, requires minimum front, side, and rear setbacks of 20 feet within the PA -2 zone district. Above grade the proposal meets these criteria; however, the below grade parking results in zero foot (0') front, side, and rear setbacks. Section 12-7J-6, Vail Town Code, allows the PEC to approve variations to the setback standards subject to applicant demonstrating the proposed setbacks will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with the prescribed standards. There are no changes to the proposed setbacks since the October 10, 2016 PEC meeting. The proposed setbacks are zero feet (0'). Therefore, due to the below grade parking facility, the proposed deviation for the front, side, and rear setbacks is 20 feet. 2. Building Height: Section 12-7J-7, Vail Town Code, establishes a maximum height of 48 feet for buildings with sloping roofs located within the PA -2 zoning district. The applicant has reduced the building height from the previously submitted maximum building height of 72 feet to a maximum building height of 59.5 feet. Therefore, the proposed deviation is 11.5 feet. 3. Site Coverage: Section 12-7J-9, Vail Town Code, allows a maximum of 65% site coverage. At the request of staff, the applicant recalculated the site coverage which resulted in an increase from 87% to 95% due to the below grade parking facility having zero foot (0') setbacks. Therefore, the proposed deviation is 30%. The above grade site coverage is 55%. 4. Loading and Deliveries: Section 12-10-9-B, Vail Town Code, requires that enclosed and/or covered loading berths be a minimum of 14 feet high. The proposed height of the two (2) loading berths within the garage facility is ten feet (10'), including the slope of the driveway. Therefore, the proposed deviation is four feet (4'). Town of Vail Page 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 125 of Section 12-10-9-(B) allows the PEC to grant variations to the minimum loading berth dimension when they are deemed necessary to prevent negative impact on to the public right of way. 5. Retaining Walls: Section 14-6-7, Vail Town Code, states that retaining walls shall not exceed an exposed face height of six feet (6'). There are multiple sections of the proposed retaining walls that exceed six feet (6') and range up to approximately 20' 8" in height. Therefore, the proposed maximum deviation is approximately 14' 8". Section 14-6-7, Vail Town Code, requires retaining walls to be located a minimum of two feet (2') from adjacent private property boundaries. As proposed, there is only eight inches (8") between the proposed retaining wall and the property line. Therefore, the proposed deviation is 1' 4". VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS Due to its complexity, the request has been broken down into categories. Where a category is associated with an identified deviation, additional discussion regarding the merits of the deviation is provided: 1. Building Height, Bulk, Mass, and Architectural Design: Significant changes have been made to the building height and the architectural design. The building was lowered and the floor to floor dimension was reduced in order to minimize the requested deviation from the maximum building height of 48 feet, the maximum building height allowed by the underlying Public Accommodation -2 (PA -2) zoning district. Specific changes include: • The entry to the garage was lowered by ten feet (10') and is now located below grade; • The height of the tower at the east end of the building was reduced by 13' 9" to a height of 59.7'. Per Section 14-10-4-F, such architectural projections are permitted to extend above the height limit of the underlying zone district by not more than 25% nor more than 15 feet. Based on this formula, 60 feet is the maximum height for architectural features within the PA -2 zone district. • The height of the tower at the west end of the building was reduced by approximately 13' 6"; • An increase in depth of architectural relief from two feet (2') to between six feet (6') to ten feet (10'); Town of Vail Page 6 January 17, 2017 - Page 126 of • The use of four (4) building material and color palettes to break up the visual mass, scale, and bulk of the structure and create a rhythm of different building facades; • The addition of a shed roof porte-cochere; and • The applicant intends to pursue Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the structure. Staff commends the applicant for their revisions, especially in attempting to address concerns regarding building height and the scale, mass, and bulk of the structure. Sheets R1 a and R1 b depict that the great majority of living area is below the 48 foot maximum allowed by the underlying PA -2 zone district. The tallest parts of the structure are architectural projections that do not have habitable floor area (GRFA). The use of building material and color palettes significantly addresses staff concerns with bulk, mass, and scale. Rather than one (1) relatively monolithic facade, the structure has been broken up into multiple facades, all of which are balanced to be unique individually, but complementary as a whole. The rhythm of facade changes is maintained on all sides of the structure. As a result, the proposed building materials and color palettes are more characteristic of Vail's mountain resort character than previous proposals. Building Height Deviation: Based on the plan revisions that place a majority of habitable area below 48 feet in height, as seen through Sheets A401 through A409, Sections along the North Frontage Road, and Sheets R1a through R8b, Historic Grade Diagrams, staff supports the requested building height deviation. 2. Setbacks: In order to maximize the availability of parking, the below grade parking facility extends to the property lines. Setback Deviation: Staff supports the requested zero foot (0') setbacks as the encroachments are located below grade, but the portion of the building above grade respects the 20 foot minimum setbacks. 3. Site Coverage: The definition of site coverage includes any building area constructed at, below, or above grade. As the below grade parking facility extends to the property lines, as discussed in Item 2 — Setbacks above, the proposed site coverage is 95%. Town of Vail Page 7 January 17, 2017 - Page 127 of Site Coverage Deviation: Staff supports the requested site coverage. The additional site coverage is driven largely by the additional below grade parking. The Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan identifies the need for additional parking options. Creative parking solutions are encouraged within the Town and the below grade facility meets this goal. 4. Employee Housing Units: Of the 113 rental dwelling units, 107 are proposed as deed -restricted Type III EHUs, as defined in Section 12-13-4, Vail Town Code. A Type III EHU deed - restriction requires the unit be rented to residents working at least thirty (30) hours per week in Eagle County. The remaining six (6) units, which are intended to be unrestricted rental dwelling units, are considered multiple -family dwellings, which are permitted in the PA -2 zoning district, provided that LSLUs, accommodation units, and/or fractional fee units are equal to or greater than 70% of the total GRFA on the site and the dwelling units are operated under a single management and provided with customary lodge services and facilities. In order to fulfill all of the above criteria to allow multi -family dwelling units as part of the proposal, the six (6) proposed dwelling units will require deed language, or another regulatory tool, to the effect that said units, although located within the EHU section of the structure, will have the right to use the services and facilities with the limited service lodge. 5. Parking & Loading: The parking spaces, shuttle parking, and loading berths are as follows: • 338 single -loaded standard parking spaces; • Eight (8) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible parking spaces; • 14 tandem parking spaces; • Four (4) shuttle parking spaces; • A dedicated hotel loading area; and • A dedicated EHU loading area. Updated parking plans (Sheets LL -1 and LL -2) depict significant changes, including a reconfiguration of the parking facility from one-way angled parking to two-way ninety degree (90°) parking. Most notably, the change allowed for a decrease in proposed tandem parking spaces and an overall increase in the number of parking spaces. The table below depicts the specific changes associated with the updated parking plans: Town of Vail Page 8 January 17, 2017 - Page 128 of The application of the 7.5% credit for multiple use parking facilities established in Section 12-10-12, Vail Town Code, would result in a reduction of parking demand from 360 parking spaces to 320 parking spaces. If the reduction is allowed, there would be forty (40) surplus parking spaces available for lease by the general public. A conditional use permit is required for "public or commercial parking facilities or structures." The criteria for a conditional use permit are discussed in Section IX of this memo. While staff has previously expressed concerns that the proposal is not a true multiple use project as LSLUs and EHUs do not have different peak parking periods, Section 12-10-12, Vail Town Code, does not regulate the use of the credit by shared or unshared peak parking hours. LSLUs and EHUs are listed as separate and distinct uses in Section 12-7J-2, Permitted Uses, Vail Town Code and as such qualify for the 7.5% credit. The number of parking spaces between hotel guests, EHU residents, multiple - family dwelling units, and the general public is as follows: October 4, 2016 Plans November 28, 2016 Plans Lower Level Single 98 172 Tandem 82 14 Upper Level Single 83 152 Tandem 34 0 Ramp Single 24 22 ADA Accessible Single 8 8 Total 329 360 The application of the 7.5% credit for multiple use parking facilities established in Section 12-10-12, Vail Town Code, would result in a reduction of parking demand from 360 parking spaces to 320 parking spaces. If the reduction is allowed, there would be forty (40) surplus parking spaces available for lease by the general public. A conditional use permit is required for "public or commercial parking facilities or structures." The criteria for a conditional use permit are discussed in Section IX of this memo.

LSLUs and EHUs are listed as separate and distinct uses in Section 12-7J-2, Permitted Uses, Vail Town Code and as such qualify for the 7.5% credit. The number of parking spaces between hotel guests, EHU residents, multiple - family dwelling units, and the general public is as follows: There are four (4) ADA accessible parking spaces closest to the LSLU elevator and four (4) ADA parking spaces closest to the EHU elevator.

Town of Vail Page 9 January 17, 2017 - Page 129 of As proposed, with the 7.5% reduction, the updated parking demand is as follows: Loading Berth Clearance Deviation: Staff supports the requested deviation to the minimum 14 foot loading berth height based on the availability of a temporary loading area in the drive aisle with a sufficient width of 26 feet that allows for a delivery truck greater than ten feet (10') in height without impeding other vehicles. 6. Access & Vehicular Circulation: The revised site plan depicts several changes to site access and vehicular circulation. These changes include a second full access driveway just west of the hotel entry. This access point provides a separation between vehicles entering or exiting the garage at the west end of the drive aisle and vehicles using the eastern portion of the drive aisle for temporary loading, resident pick- up/drop-off, and guest check-in. At the hotel entrance, the drive aisle has been widened from 20 feet to 26 feet to allow for temporary parking and loading during guest check-in. In compliance with the Fire Department's fire staging requirement, Sheet A010 — Proposed Site Plan depicts a 20' x 40' dedicated fire staging area at the east end of the drive aisle. The Fire Department will require direct access from the fire staging area to the building's fire command center. 7. Retaining Walls: The retaining walls located behind the building have been revised to allow for wider planting areas for trees and shrubs. In order to ensure that no easements would be required from adjacent properties for the construction of the retaining walls, staff requested, and received, stamped preliminary engineering plans for the retaining walls. Retaining Wall Height Deviation: Staff supports the requested deviation to the maximum six foot (6') retaining wall height as there are several projects in the surrounding area with similar topographical conditions that required retaining walls in excess of six feet (6') in height. Town of Vail Page 10 January 17, 2017 - Page 130 of Minimum Required by Code Nov. 28, 2016 Plans LSLU 0.7 spaces per unit (9 space deduction) = 110 110 EHU 2.0 spaces per unit (16 space deduction) = 198 210 DUs 2.0 spaces per unit (0 space deduction) = 12 Identified w/ EHUs Total 320 360 Loading Berth Clearance Deviation: Staff supports the requested deviation to the minimum 14 foot loading berth height based on the availability of a temporary loading area in the drive aisle with a sufficient width of 26 feet that allows for a delivery truck greater than ten feet (10') in height without impeding other vehicles. 6. Access & Vehicular Circulation: The revised site plan depicts several changes to site access and vehicular circulation. These changes include a second full access driveway just west of the hotel entry. This access point provides a separation between vehicles entering or exiting the garage at the west end of the drive aisle and vehicles using the eastern portion of the drive aisle for temporary loading, resident pick- up/drop-off, and guest check-in. At the hotel entrance, the drive aisle has been widened from 20 feet to 26 feet to allow for temporary parking and loading during guest check-in. In compliance with the Fire Department's fire staging requirement, Sheet A010 — Proposed Site Plan depicts a 20' x 40' dedicated fire staging area at the east end of the drive aisle. The Fire Department will require direct access from the fire staging area to the building's fire command center. 7. Retaining Walls: The retaining walls located behind the building have been revised to allow for wider planting areas for trees and shrubs. In order to ensure that no easements would be required from adjacent properties for the construction of the retaining walls, staff requested, and received, stamped preliminary engineering plans for the retaining walls. Retaining Wall Height Deviation: Staff supports the requested deviation to the maximum six foot (6') retaining wall height as there are several projects in the surrounding area with similar topographical conditions that required retaining walls in excess of six feet (6') in height. Town of Vail Page 10 January 17, 2017 - Page 130 of Retaining Wall Location Deviation: As the applicant has not indicated any hardship that would prevent the retaining walls from being constructed the minimum two feet (2') from adjacent property lines, staff does not support the requested deviation. 8. Landscaping: Along the property frontage, the proposed landscaping includes shade trees between the sidewalk and front drive aisle and foundation plantings between the drive aisle and structure. Toward the rear of the building, the landscape plan transitions to native vegetation and grasses as the slope connects to Meadow Ridge Road. Trees and other plantings are depicted in the terraced areas of the retaining walls. The applicant is working with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to secure permits for planting the proposed trees in the North Frontage Road right-of-way. The applicant has indicated that it will be possible to plant the trees in the right-of-way and avoid the existing sewer line. Sheet L1.1 was updated to identify the existing trees that the applicant will try to preserve. However, the applicant has indicated preservation may not be possible. It shall be presumed that the trees will be removed. All other existing trees will be removed. Per the request of staff and the PEC, Sheet L1.1 and L1.2 now include a full plant schedule, including the specific species of evergreen and shade trees proposed. Also per the request of staff, Sheet L1.1 depicts the incorporation of Saskatoon serviceberry, tall western sage, and Shubert chokecherry into this area of the site. Gregg Barrie, Senior Landscape Architect with the Town of Vail, is generally receptive of the proposed landscape plan. Mr. Barrie's comments include: 1. Due to the site's elevation exceeding 7,500 feet, consider replacing the White Spruce with Blue Spruce and finding a suitable replacement for the Red Barron Crabapple; and 2. Lanceleaf Cottonwoods require more than six feet (6') of planting area width and may eventually lead to buckling of the sidewalk. A BioBarrier system along the north edge of the sidewalk may help protect the sidewalk from the root system. Also, the applicant has attempted to address the provision of additional landscaping and open space through the green roof, though it does not meet the Town of Vail Page 11 January 17, 2017 - Page 131 of definition of landscaping or open space. The outdoor space and plantings on the roof provide guests and residents an opportunity for fresh air and recreation. 9. Pedestrian & Transit: At the request of Public Works, Sheet A010 — Proposed Site Plan shows that the sidewalk has been adjusted to provide opportunities for snow storage from Town plowing operations. Sheet A010 — Proposed Site Plan also depicts sidewalk connections from the main sidewalk to crosswalks at the building's two (2) entrances. Due to the addition of the second access point, the bus stop has been relocated from the center of the site to the west end of the site. Similar to the previously approved project for the site, the applicant proposes a bus stop enclosure that will be designed to meet any public art requirement. A shuttle system for guests and residents is also proposed that will help alleviate demand on the bus system. 10. Mechanical Equipment: In response to PEC and neighbor concerns, the garage venting has been relocated from the west side of the building to the north side of the building (below the elevation of the existing roadway) and the southeast corner of the building. There is no HVAC equipment proposed on the roof. Laundry and other mechanical equipment have been relocated to the lowest level of the structure. 11. Lot Configuration: The applicant will plat the property as a single parcel. No condominium plat is proposed. Several easements will be vacated and several utility easements will need to be relocated. All easements will be vacated or established on the plat or by separate legal instrument. 12. Rooftop: The applicant is proposing a change from a simple green roof to an amenity complete with seating areas, swimming pool, and hot tubs for hotel guests and a grade -separated rooftop area for EHU residents with seating areas and hot tubs. 13. Sun -Shade Analysis: The applicant has provided an updated sun -shade analysis, Sheets R5 and R6, which depict the shadow caused by the building on an hourly basis on the winter solstice and the spring and fall equinoxes. The sun -shade analysis indicates some shadow on Meadow Ridge Road until 1:00 PM on the winter solstice and until 11:00 AM on the spring equinox. 14. Exterior Lighting: The applicant has provided a lighting plan featuring dark sky compliant bollards. There are no other outdoor light fixtures proposed on the site. Town of Vail Page 12 January 17, 2017 - Page 132 of 15. Signage: There is no specific signage included with this application. Signage, including signage for the parking facility, will be reviewed under a separate permit subsequent to approval of zoning and design review of the structure. 16. Water Service: While approval from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) is not specifically required by the SDD application, the ERWSD has informed staff of their concern of the increased density on their ability to adequately service the site. Given the existing water and sewer service lines and infrastructure, the ERWSD encourages the applicant to submit plans sufficient to allow a water rights and capacity analysis. VIII. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DESIGN CRITERIA Before acting on an SDD application, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed SDD: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Each series of revisions have brought the proposal more in line with the character of the neighborhood and Vail in general. The mass, scale, and bulk of the structure is larger than that of the surrounding structures; however, the newly proposed architectural treatments such as a variety of roof forms and increased horizontal and vertical articulation serve to visually break up the mass, bulk, and scale of the building. The proposed building material and color palettes are consistent with the identity and character of Vail as a mountain community. As a result, the structure now appears as an assemblage of buildings, often seen throughout the Town. Staff finds that the changes to the building elevations and materials are a significant improvement from the previous plan. The subject property is located on a development site in the PA -2 zone district, which allows for a maximum 48 foot building height, but it is surrounded by residential zone districts where 33 feet is the maximum building height. Therefore, based upon the zoning of the subject property, there is to be a difference in building height between the subject property and surrounding area. Many of the Town's taller buildings are located along the frontage road as they buffer surrounding area from the noise and aesthetics of the highway. Though the proposed building height is greater than those in the surrounding area, the applicant has demonstrated that the majority of habitable area is consistent with the underlying zone district. Town of Vail Page 13 January 17, 2017 - Page 133 of The shape of the subject property leaves little room for a buffer zone between the structure and adjacent properties. Therefore staff encourages the use of high quality landscape materials suitable to the environment and root space available. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The PA -2 zone district is intended to provide sites for lodges, LSLUs, and residential accommodations outside of the periphery of the Vail Village and Lionshead commercial core areas. The proposed LSLUs, EHUs, and commercial parking facility are either permitted by right or conditional uses within the underlying PA -2 zone district. Per Town Code, up to 150 square feet of GRFA may be permitted for each 100 square feet of buildable site area, though final determination of allowable GRFA shall be made by the PEC. The total density allowed by the underlying PA -2 zone district is not to exceed 25 dwelling units per acre of buildable site area, although LSLUs and EHUs do not count toward density within the PA -2 zone district. This is due to the fact that the PA -2 zone district is specifically intended to accommodate higher densities that contribute to a critical mass where a population is able to access transit and services. This site is situated to take advantage of commercial services located in the nearby West Vail Mall commercial area, offering a variety of services from groceries to restaurants and drying cleaning that are typically used by residents. There is a strong relationship between the establishment of the uses located in the Commercial Core 3 (CC3) zone of the West Vail area and the original intent of the subject site being zoned PA -2 so that the commercial services could be easily accessed. The site also offers immediate access to the North Frontage Road bicycle and pedestrian trail to allow residents and guests the opportunity to move about Vail without a vehicle, which is a public benefit. The new 1-70 underpass is less than a mile away from the proposed project and, upon completion in 2017, will facilitate direct bicycle and pedestrian access to Lionshead and Vail Villages, which is another benefit of allowing additional density at this location. As the site is immediately adjacent to the 1-70 corridor, the site is also ideally located as a place to transition residential density from higher density to lower as you move further from the 1-70 corridor. Higher density projects are typically located adjacent to higher -volume roadways to help provide a visual and noise buffer for lower density properties located further from those roadways. The proposed project is primarily residential in nature, similar to surrounding uses which are also residential. The residential properties adjacent to the site range from low density single family homes and duplexes in the Grand Traverse SDD north of the subject property to as much as 29 dwelling units per acre in the Town of Vail Page 14 January 17, 2017 - Page 134 of Buffehr Creek Condos adjacent to the west side of the subject property. As a result of the proposed residential use, there should be less land use conflict from what could otherwise be impacted by traffic, noise and light that would result from more intense uses. Staff finds that the proposal meets this criterion. 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. The parking dimensions and number of parking spaces provided comply with Vail Town Code. Parking provides a critical function in Vail and opportunities to increase the number of parking spaces available should be regarded favorably. As the applicant is proposing parking in excess of the minimum requirements, public parking with direct access to transit will be made available, taking some pressure off the frontage road parking, which is a public benefit. While the height of the loading berths within the garage facility does not meet code, there is an opportunity for temporary loading within the area of the drive aisle that is 26 feet wide, thereby meeting the intent of the code. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Staff has reviewed the Vail Comprehensive Plan and found the following documents and associated goals, objectives, statements applicable to this proposal: Vail Land Use Plan (in part) 1.1 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. 1.3 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). 3.1 The hotel bed base should be preserved and used more efficiently. 3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail, therefore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. Town of Vail Page 15 January 17, 2017 - Page 135 of 3.4 Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 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. 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 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. Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan (in part) Land Use and Development: Goal #4: Provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and public initiated development. Housing: Goal: The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. Actions / Strategies: • Research parking requirements for employee housing and consider reducing requirements for employee housing developments. • Expand the number of employee beds in the Town of Vail. o Consider increasing incentives in performance zoning for property owners who build EHUs. Town of Vail Page 16 January 17, 2017 - Page 136 of Vail Economic Development Strategic Plan (in part) Policies: Goal #4: Provide support for a quality workforce delivering world-class service to positively impact Vail's economy. Objective 4.1: Work with the business community, Eagle County and other municipalities to address future workforce housing needs. Objective 4.3: Work with the business community and Eagle County to address parking and transportation issues for workers and guests. Chapter VII. Evaluation and Analysis, Weaknesses: Inefficient Facilities: Older lodging accommodations Vail Housing 2027 (in part) Mission: We create, provide, and retain high quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents to support a sustainable year round economy and build a vibrant, inclusive and resilient community. We do this through acquiring deed restrictions on homes so that our residents have a place to live in Vail. Policy Statement: We acknowledge that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government. Ten Year Goal: The Town of Vail will acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027. These new deed restrictions will be acquired for both existing homes as well as for homes that are newly constructed by both the Town of Vail and private sector developers. LSLUs provide an important Zink in Vail's lodging industry by offering short term accommodations in the mid -price range that is more attainable to the middle Town of Vail Page 17 January 17, 2017 - Page 137 of class demographic. There are limited locations within Vail where this accommodation type may be located and the subject site was specifically zoned PA -2 to accommodate this type of use. Close proximity to the services available in West Vail was a key consideration of the zoning of this site since it allows easy access to those businesses by residents and guests. The proposed development of EHUs realizes several community goals, especially the Vail Housing 2027 Ten Year Goal of acquiring 1,000 deed restrictions. It is important to note that the requirements of inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage are not enough to close the gap in the employee housing deficit in Vail. The proposal to add 107 Type III deed -restricted EHUs will make a significant contribution toward the goals of providing workforce housing in the town. The significance of providing local workforce housing is critical to reduce the number of employees driving to and parking in town as well as adding to the fabric of the resort community and adding to the critical mass that helps support the West Vail business community. By doing so, numerous policies of the Vail Economic Development Strategic Plan are realized, such as Goal Number 4, "Provide support for a quality workforce delivering world-class service to positively impact Vail's economy." The proposal specifically addresses Goals 1.1, 1.12, 3.3, 5.4, and 5.5 in the Vail Land Use Plan in that they speak to the importance of infill redevelopment and meeting visitor and employee lodging and housing demands. The proposal also speaks to the Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan's statement that the Town recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town. The proposal is representative of a rare infill -development opportunity in Vail that will accommodate two critical uses in high demand that would otherwise be relegated to a location outside the town boundary. The infill site provides a public benefit by allowing these high demand uses in a location within Vail that would minimize car -dependency and contribute economically to businesses in the West Vail commercial district. Staff finds that the proposal meets this criterion. 5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. The northeast portion of the site is located in a steep slope zone. The applicant has provided a subsurface conditions report, geotechnical report, and bedrock evaluation letter for review by the Public Works Department. Staff finds that the proposal meets this criterion. Town of Vail Page 18 January 17, 2017 - Page 138 of 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. The revisions to the architectural design contribute positively to the overall aesthetic quality of the community. While open space is minimal, the applicant has attempted to provide creative solutions such as the green roof amenity to help address this issue. The applicant has provided a high quality design in regards to the site plan and building appearance and has attempted to balance elements such as open space and landscaping with other important community goals that would help improve the overall quality of the community. LEED certification also helps mitigate some of the impact on the natural features and landscaping on site. Also, LEED certification of such a structure is a public benefit in that it raises the bar for future construction in the Town. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. Staff finds that the addition of a second access point will help separate vehicles using the garage from those vehicles associated with hotel check-in, EHU pick- up/drop-off, and other assorted deliveries. The expansion of the drive aisle to 26 feet in width near the hotel entrance will help ensure vehicles can circulate along the drive aisle without being blocked by guests checking into the hotel. The sidewalk connections and crosswalks will help mitigate vehicle -pedestrian conflicts. For improved vehicular circulation, the applicant could provide EHU access via Meadow Ridge Road, but is providing access via the North Frontage Road to minimize the impact to the residences on Meadow Ridge Road. The Traffic Impact Study anticipates a maximum of 238 Saturday peak hour trips, 178 morning peak hour trips, and 207 evening peak hour trips, including all modes of travel. The Traffic Impact study also anticipates an even 50/50 split between trips traveling from the east and west on the North Frontage Road under short-term conditions. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. Town of Vail Page 19 January 17, 2017 - Page 139 of 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. The applicant has attempted to provide creative landscaping solutions by landscaping the retaining wall terraces and planting trees along North Frontage Road. As indicated in Item 6, the applicant has attempted to provide a creative solution to the lack of open space by providing a green roof area with amenities available to both hotel guests and EHU residents. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. The proposal is intended to be constructed in one phase. Staging for any construction related activity will be reviewed by staff to ensure impacts to public rights-of-way and adjacent properties are minimized. It is anticipated that the use of the North Frontage Road West right-of-way will be necessary. This right-of- way is controlled by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and will require all appropriate review and permits from CDOT prior to the start of construction. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. IX. CRITERIA FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT A conditional use permit is requested for a commercial parking facility in this zone district. The following criteria are specific to the commercial parking facility: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the town. The Vail Land Use Plan identifies the need for parking and access that should be accommodated through creative solutions and a stated goal that surface parking should be reduced and provided underground where possible. The Vail Land Use Plan also expresses a goal that parking be improved and adequate parking should be provided to accommodate day skier growth. The addition of the commercial parking facility will reduce some of the demand for parking within the town parking structures or along the North Frontage Road. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. Town of Vail Page 20 January 17, 2017 - Page 140 of 2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. As the commercial parking facility will be located below grade there should be minimal, if any, impact on light and air. The parking spaces will remove some demand from the town's parking facilities and may lesson the traffic on streets that serve and the demand for parking at parks and recreation facilities due to their frequent use as overflow skier parking. The proposal will have no impact on the distribution of population, utilities, schools and other public facilities and public facilities needs. The proximity to a bus stop will also lessen the demand for parking in the Town's garages and remove more vehicles from congested roads. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 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 streets and parking areas The proposed commercial parking facility will result in increased traffic along the North Frontage Road, but the applicant has submitted a Transportation Impact Study that demonstrates the impact from the commercial parking facility portion of the project will be minimal. The Traffic Impact Study was completed when the applicant anticipated 100 surplus parking spaces. While the specific number of trips generated is no longer valid, the overall percent of total trips generated by the surplus parking spaces accounted for 21 % of Saturday peak hour trips, 20% of morning peak hour trips, and 23% of evening peak hour trips. As the commercial parking facility is located below grade, the proposed facility will not impact the removal of snow from the streets and parking area. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. 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. As the proposed commercial parking facility will be incorporated into the new structure and located below grade the scale and bulk of the facility will have no impact on the character of the area or its surrounding uses. Staff finds the proposal meets this criterion. Town of Vail Page 21 January 17, 2017 - Page 141 of 5. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed use. 6. The environmental impact report concerning the proposed use, if an environmental impact report is required by chapter 12 of this title. An environmental impact report was not required for the proposed commercial parking facility. X. STAFF RECOMMENDATION SDDs are an opportunity to allow flexibility in design to a property owner while advancing the goals and objectives of the Town comprehensive plan. Balancing the impact of the development on the surrounding area with benefits to the broader community through the achievement of said goals and objectives is an extremely difficult task. Based on the most recent revisions, staff finds that the proposal has successfully balanced these oftentimes competing interests and that the public benefit outweighs the deviations. Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII and Section IX of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Town Council for the applicant's request to establish Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn and associated conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility. A separate motion is required for the request to establish the SDD and to grant a conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility. Motion for Approval — Special Development District: Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the establishment of Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission passes the following motion: "The Planning and Environmental Commission forwards the Vail Town Council a recommendation of approval for an application to establish Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, pursuant to Section 12-9(A), Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a limited service lodge and deed restricted employee housing units, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West/Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto."

The fee shall be determined through the ongoing update and codification to the Impact Fee as approved by the Town Council. In the event that the updated fee is not Town of Vail Page 23 January 17, 2017 - Page 143 of adopted by the Town Council prior to July 1, 2017, the applicant shall provide a payment, prior to requesting any Certificate of Occupancy, based upon net new PM Peak Hour vehicle trips generated by the development. The amount per trip shall be assessed at the established rate as of July 1, 2017; and 10. Prior to submitting any building permit application, the applicant shall provide roadway and snow storage easements for the portion of Meadow Ridge Road that encroaches onto the subject property in a format acceptable to the Town's Attorney. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town Council for the establishment of Special Development District No. 41, Marriott Residence Inn, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings: "Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated November 28, 2016, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds: 1. The SDD complies with the standards listed in Section VIII of this memorandum, or the applicant has demonstrated that one or more of the standards is not applicable; 2. The SDD is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and compatible with the development objectives of the town; 3. The SDD is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas; and 4. The SDD promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality. Motion for Approval — Commercial Parking Facility Conditional Use Permit Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve, with one condition, the request for a conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission passes the following motion: Town of Vail Page 24 January 17, 2017 - Page 144 of "The Planning and Environmental approves this request for a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-7J-3, Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for a commercial parking facility, located at 1783 North Frontage Road West/Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Resubdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve, with one condition, the request for a conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission recommends the following condition: 1. "The conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility shall lapse and become void if a building permit is not obtained and diligently pursued toward completion or the approved use has not commenced within two (2) years from the date of approval. Any conditional use which is discontinued for a period of two (2) years, regardless of any intent to resume operation, shall not be resumed thereafter; any future use of the site or structures thereon shall conform to the provisions of Title 12, Vail Town Code." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve, with one condition, the request for a conditional use permit for a commercial parking facility, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings: "Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section IX of the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated November 28, 2016, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental Commission finds: 1. The proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this title and the purposes of the Public Accommodation -2 (PA -2) zone district; 2. The proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 3.

A revised submittal document has been provided reflecting the changes. We requested this application be tabled from the October 24 PEC hearing date and rescheduled to the November 14 hearing date in order to afford our team more time to appropriately address comments and revise the plans. We believe that the revised plans address all of the comments we heard in a meaningful and significant manner and hope that you will agree. We did this without losing any apartments or hotel rooms. Building Height, Mass, and Architecture You will note some dramatic changes to the proposal. The building was lowered and the floor to floor dimension was reduced in order to significantly reduce the height of the building much closer to 48' in height. The garage level was lowered 10' to assist in the reduction of building height. The tower on the west west of the building was also lowered resulting in a reduction in height of 13' - 9" on the west end of the building. The reduction in overall building height on the west side of the building is equal to approximately one story of the building. The building was essentially pushed down into the ground. Some of the areas that Mauriello Planning Group P.O. Box 4777 Eagle, CO 81631 MPG Mauriello Planning Group MPGVail.com dominic@mpgvail.com 970-376-3318 January 17, 2017 - Page 147 of exceed 48' in height tend to be architectural elements which in many cases code allows to exceed building height up to 15'. The bulk and mass and the facade of the building have been broken up significantly with 6', 8' and 10' changes in the facade. The roof forms have been revised to also lessens the scale of the building. Additionally, a more formal porte cochere has been provided at the hotel entrance to enhance the architecture of the building and improve the arrival experience. We believe these efforts have addressed the comments we received from the PEC and the public in a genuine and significant way. Vehicular Access and Fire Staging You will also notice changes to the vehicular access to the site as well as the front driveway and entrance to the garage. These changes are the result of three considerations: the need to provide the Vail Fire Department with a dedicated fire staging area (20' x 40'), the lowering of the building height which lowered the elevation of the garage floor level, and based on comments provided to us by CDOT and the neighbors regarding the location of the western access to the property. The west access has been relocated to the east and a new ramp is provided to the below grade parking and loading facility. Fire staging will now occur on the far east end of the driveway with direct access to a fire command center for the building. With this dedicated staging area, the remainder of the driveway is no longer designated as a fire lane. Parking and Loading The parking garage has been modified as to provide 360 parking spaces, 14 of which are tandem spaces (7 spaces used by 14 cars). One of the concerns of the PEC was how the tandem parking would operate. We have addressed this concern by eliminating the bulk of the tandem parking. The 14 spaces are designated as apartment spaces. While the applicant believes that the apartment parking will be over parked using the Town's codified formula for parking requirements, the applicant is proposing parking in strict compliance with Town Code including the non -discretionary multiple use credit of 7.5%. As a result of using the Town's parking formula and credit the parking will be utilized as follows: • Apartments - 210 spaces (for 113 units) • Hotel - 110 spaces (for 170 hotel rooms) • Leased Parking/Surplus - 40 spaces Level one of the parking garage will have a clear height of 10' minimum as will the entrance with consideration for the slope of the driveway. Provided are four shuttle bus parking spaces as well as two generous loading spaces: one for the hotel and one for the apartments. There will remain a loading space for larger delivery trucks in the front 2 January 17, 2017 - Page 148 of driveway. This project will have very limited need for day to day loading and delivery given the limited food and beverage services or lack of retail uses provided onsite. Apartment Deed Restrictions The proposed deed restriction for workforce housing has been modified to simplify the process and enforcement. Originally, the applicant was proposing to mirror the deed restriction for the Lion's Ridge project. However, that restriction only provides that 70% of the units be deed restricted and allows the operator to dip below the 70% limit under certain circumstances. The Lion's Ridge deed restriction does not translate well to this project. Instead, the applicant is now proposing that 107 of the 113 units be deed restricted as a Type 3 EHU using the Town's standard deed restriction without modifications. That leaves only 6 apartments that will be unrestricted yet they will still limited as rental units (i.e., not condominium units for sale). The 107 units to be restricted will be indicated in a final plan at building permit. This puts the percentage of deed restricted units at 95% of the apartments available. The applicant believes this approach to be the cleanest approach and allows 6 units to be leased to non -locals or those working less than 30 hours a week should the need arise. None of these deed restricted units are being "banked" to sell to other developers. A type 3 deed restriction has been provided by staff. Venting and Mechanical The venting and mechanical facilities have been modified based upon PEC and neighbor concerns. The garage venting previously located on the west side of the building has been relocated. That venting is now located on the north side (well below the elevation of the roadway) and the south side of the building at the far east end of the building. The HVAC mechanical equipment and laundry has been relocated to the lowest level of the garage and there is no HVAC equipment proposed for the roof of the structure. Landscape Plan and Retaining Walls The retaining walls located behind the building have been revised to provide larger planting zones for trees and shrubs. The landscape plan has been updated to provide specific plant species and the detail desired by staff and the PEC. It should be noted that modifications to the landscape plan could occur during formal DRB process after the SDD approval occurs. CDOT allows trees to be planted in the right-of-way subject to approval of a special use permit (staff approval). This is not uncommon along the frontage roads as evidenced by the existing trees located in the right-of-way on the subject property. A similar approval was given by CDOT for the West Day Lot parking lot in Lionshead. There is an existing sewer line in this area that can easily be avoided with the planting of trees. Stamped preliminary engineering designs for the retaining walls and shoring have been included in the submittal. 3 INI.eI January 17, 2017 - Page 149 of Platting and Easements The applicant intends to plat the property as a single parcel of land. There is no condominium map proposed. There are several easements that will be vacated and several utilities that will be relocated. We don't expect any issues with utility providers in this regard and they are aware of our plans. All easements will be vacated or established on the plat or by separate legal instrument. The project is located within the area served ERWSD. The District has a process that requires payment of connection fees and payments for water rights that will occur prior to a building permit being issued for the project, no different than all other redevelopment projects within the Town. Exterior Lighting An exterior lighting plan has been provided. All light Fixtures are proposed to be dark sky compliant bollards and there is no proposed light fixtures on the exterior building facades. Public Art As was the case with the previous project, the applicant proposes a bus stop enclosure that will be designed to meet any public art requirement. Site Coverage The site coverage calculation has been verified by the applicant. The below grade site coverage (parking structure) is 94.5% and the above grade site coverage is 55.4%. Sun Shade Analysis A revised sun shade analysis has been provided showing the shadow caused by this building on an hourly basis throughout the day on the winter solstice and the spring/fall equinoxes. The analysis shows very little impact to neighboring properties or Meadow Ridge Road throughout the course of the day. By 1:00 pm during the winter solstice, the most extreme day of the year for shadows, there is no shadows on Meadow Ridge Road. During the equinoxes, by 11:00 am there is little to no shadow on Meadow Ridge Road. Sidewalks The sidewalk along the North Frontage Road has been adjusted to provided opportunities for snow storage from community plowing. All of the internal sidewalks and the driveway on the subject property will be heated. Crosswalks and sidewalk connectors have been provided as suggested by staff. Vail Local Housing Authority Endorsement The Vail Local Housing Authority formally voted to endorsed the project (see endorsement letter). The Authority made the following findings in its motion: • The proposed project meets the strategic goals of the adopted housing plan; and • It furthers the policy objectives of the Deed Restriction Purchase Program; and 4 January 17, 2017 - Page 150 of • The development of this project will add at least 107 employee housing rental units to the inventory of EHUs in the Town of Vail. We hope that you will recognize the substantial efforts taken to address the comments of the PEC and the neighbors. We are hopeful for a recommendation of approval to the Town Council. If the PEC has some element it wishes to disagree with (we hope there are none) we suggest that be handled with a condition of the approval. Sincerely, kaiz,,AficL Dominic F.

(PEC16-0030). Applicant: Vail Hotel Owner ESHV, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Matt Panfil Chairman Rediker opened the item. Matt Panfil, Planner, introduced the project. Matt ran through a list of terms that are used both in the staff report and staff's presentation. He discussed the objective of Special Development Districts and how they are reviewed. Matt added emphasis that at times there may be competing public interests. Panfil summarized the application, including its components and the relationship of these components to the town code. He presented the changes to the plans that have occurred over the three meetings and plan sets. Commissioner Hansen asked about the color coding shown for parking. Commissioner Gillette asked about the parking requirement and allowable deductions for multi—use facilities. Panfil provided answers to these two questions. Matt stated that staff has concerns about the multi -use parking credit but the code does not provide further clarification January 17, 2017 - Page 167 of regarding the parking reduction. Commissioner Stockmar asked about parking requirements and the possibility that the demand will be lower. Panfil discussed the possibility of more spaces being available for public parking if future demand from the residential uses does not meet the spaces provided. He closed out his presentation with a discussion of the proposed deviations from the underlying zone district. Chairman Rediker requested that staff discuss the proposed conditions of approval. Panfil provided the Commission with the proposed conditions of approval. Chairman Rediker opened up for Commissioner's question. Chairman Rediker asked about the acceptability of the conditions to the applicant and a greater explanation of the LEED condition. Chairman Rediker asked about the location of the retaining walls and the need to move them 2' from the property line. Commissioner Hansen asked about the needed easement for Meadow Ridge Road. Commissioner Hansen asked about the shading of the road and if a plan for this was needed. Panfil provided greater details on what was being requested and indicated that no mitigation for the shading is proposed. Commissioner Kurz asked for clarification related to building height and how the building height was able to be reduced by more than 12 feet without removing any floors to the building. Panfil discussed the changes in the building height. Chairman Rediker asked about the height allowances over the limit. Panfil discussed architectural projections and their allowance. Commissioner Lockman asked about site coverage and how it is calculated. Commissioner Lockman also asked about the availability of water service. Panfil discussed these items and how the water service comment was meant as an advisory alert to the applicant. Commissioner Lockman asked about the applicability of an Environmental Impact Report for this project. Panfil stated that it had been discussed but had not been requested for previous projects. January 17, 2017 - Page 168 of Commissioner Hansen expressed concern with the traffic flow on the frontage road. Commissioner Kurz asked if any of the technical aspects will result in a return to either the PEC or Town Council. Panfil stated that with the exception of CDOT technical issues, other items have been addressed or are conditioned to do so. Applicant presentation. Dominic Mauriello made a PowerPoint presentation on behalf of the applicant. Chairman Rediker asked the Commission if they have questions for the applicant. Chairman Rediker asked about the step between the apartment units and the lodging units. Mauriello responded that it is partially due to a change in grade and also in response to comments received that height is more acceptable along the eastern end. Panfil and Mauriello reviewed some building sections that help to illustrate the proposed height. Chairman Rediker asked for clarification regarding the landscape plan at the rear of the building (north side). Mauriello responded that is was principally evergreen trees with some aspens. Chairman Rediker asked if there was sufficient sunlight for the landscaping proposed. Mauriello responded that the plan has been prepared by a landscape architect and reviewed by the Town's landscape architect. Public Comment Randy Guerriero — Stated that the third plan is an improvement. Expressed concern with the evergreens along the north side. He asked about improvements to the frontage road such as deceleration or turn lanes. He asked a question about the deed restrictions. He expressed concern with snow storage. Ted Steers — Supportive of the proposed underground component. Rooftop landscaping will require attention for detail. He expressed concern that Marriott would co-opt all of the employee housing units for its own employee use. He is also concerned with the size of the building and wondered why it is not broken into two or three buildings. Molly Murphy — Vail Valley Medical Center (WMC) fully supports the project. No public money subsidy is being requested. In her experience, the rent would be ok. The lodge units help serve a demand that is not being met. WMC currently send people to Hawthorne Suites in Eagle. January 17, 2017 - Page 169 of Chris Burns — He believes the revised plan is much better. He is concerned with possible effects on the sanitary sewer system, the removal of existing old growth trees, the proposed zero setback construction and the effects of the zero setback construction on existing buildings. He is also concerned with the rooftop proposal and potential noise affecting nearby properties. He expressed concern with the level of public amenities, and that a bus shelter is not public art. He concluded by stating that the project is just too big for the neighborhood and 150 units per acre is inconsistent with the area. Steve Lindstrom — Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA) supports the project. Vail is landlocked and does not have room to sprawl in order to grow. Vail has to look inward at what we have to solve our problems. Density is the solution, not the problem. The 1970's and 80's way of solving problems will not work. Lion's Ridge is a missed opportunity. This project is a project that works towards a solution. There is not a better site or a better project. We need private sector help to solve our housing problems. Jason Cowles — Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) is working with the applicant and looking at capacity issues. No answers at this time but the existing water and sewer infrastructure will need to be upsized and loop up to Buffehr Creek Road. Mike Brumbaugh — He is strongly in favor of this. Project addresses three important issues in community: housing, lodging and parking. He is unable to expand business opportunities because of employee housing issues. Vail Valley Partnership is also supportive of the proposal. This project is part of the solution. Jill Klosterman, Eagle County Housing — Addressed the county needs assessment and how the need is growing. She spoke to the limited supply of land and how this may be part of the solution. Mary McDougall, VLHA — She supports the project as a board member and as a citizen. The project is a great compromise between staff and developer. Lori Johnson — Spoke to change in Vail, and Vail will continue to change. People who are opposed are concerned about views. The Town needs to look at the sustainability and growth of the community. Families with children are moving down valley. If we don't figure out these community issues we won't have a community. We need to think about solutions. Greg Bemis — Stated that it is a massive, very tall building; twice the size of Vail Run. Employee housing may be supportive but what about the effects on the character of West Vail. Zoning is there for a reason. There are a lot of places to put this type of housing that will have fewer effects on the character of the area. As a resident of West Vail, this may not be what we are looking for. Asked where is the West Vail plan? Asked the PEC to consider the massiveness of this building. Questioned the project's sense of scale. Commissioner Comments Commissioner Stockmar — Stated that this is a challenging decision. This is a proposal that solves a lot of problems, but it is not perfect. He is concerned about the loss of mid- level lodging in town. There are downsides but there are upsides to solving our needs. We need to use the land we have well. Overall, with the conditions and constraints placed, he is supportive. January 17, 2017 - Page 170 of Commissioner Gillette — Stated his support. This is a massive building but the architectural treatment breaking it into different fagades helps. He feels that this project is on the right track. He is concerned the project will run into budget constraints, and there is an expectation that the level of architectural detail will not be compromised. He is concerned that some of the conditions placed may affect the architectural details. Commissioner Pratt — Supports the overall project, but feels that this proposal is 13 pounds in a 10 pound bag and is just too much for the site. Commissioner Kurz — Supports the project. Our needs speak to our previous successes and our future success is dependent upon employees. He feels the project meets the criteria for SDD approval, but recognizes that this is 12 pounds in the 10 pound bag. He is not concerned with height. He feels the technical aspects will be taken care of and the building will be a positive mark on the neighborhood. The benefits outweigh the negatives. Commissioner Hansen — Supports the project. It is time for larger steps. He has never seen a presentation that so well covered all the bases. This is a private sector project with significant public benefits. Commissioner Lockman — Concurs with the quality of the presentation by staff and the applicant, and thankful for the public comment. In thinking about competing interests he feels the benefits outweigh the possible negatives. He still struggles with the proposed density of use and he still questions why an EIS was not required. Chairman Rediker — Asked about the impact on groundwater drainage with the proposed lot line to lot line development. Mauriello — Prior to building permit application, a groundwater study will be necessary. Chairman Rediker — Asked if the applicant will be required to install drainage. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer — A drainage study will be required and an analysis will be needed. Water flows to the southwest corner of site. A de -watering system will be needed. Chairman Rediker — Echoed Commissioner Pratt's comments. This was a well prepared application and presentation. He is thankful for the public comment. This is a very difficult decision if not the hardest decision with his time on the PEC. He is supportive of the hot beds and the affordable housing, which are big pluses for the project. He stated that unfortunately he does not feel the criteria are met, specifically concerning compatibility, relationship and design features. The lack of a master plan needs to be looked at. Commissioner Gillette — This project meets one-tenth of the Town's housing goal. If the frontage road location does not work, the housing plan will not work. Closed commissioner comments.

Introduction The applicant, The Harp Group, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting the establishment of a new Special Development District, to allow for a Marriott Residence Inn and rental housing project, located at 1783 N. Frontage Road West / Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Subdivision. This submittal has been revised and updated following input from the community, town staff, the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the Design Review Board. Changes include a significant reduction in height, changes to the vehicular access and circulation, clarification of the deed restriction, modifications to the landscape plan and retaining walls, and other modifications. The Town of Vail has approved a Marriott Residence Inn at the site in various forms in the past. The most recent approval consisted of 176 limited service lodge units and 2 employee housing units. This approval has since lapsed because the applicant was encouraged to bring forward a significant employee housing project. The applicant had intended to submit for building permit in March of this year. In 2016, the Town of Vail Housing Authority members approached the current owners of the property, looking for opportunities for employee housing to be incorporated into the project. As a result of these discussions and meetings with the Town of Vail staff, the current Marriott Residence Inn and a substantial employee apartment project was conceived, combining the project. As currently proposed, the project consists of 170 limited service lodge units and 113 rental units. Of the 113 rental units, 107 units will be deed -restricted as Type 3 Employee Housing Units. The remaining 6 units will be still be rental units and are NOT available for sale and they will not be condominiumized. The project is served by 360 parking spaces in an underground parking structure. A hotel shuttle program will also be provided to improve guest and resident access to the Town Core and Beaver Creek Resort. The project is generally a five story building, with the rental units on the eastern end of the property, and the limited service lodge units (LSLU) on the western portion of the property, with a flag of the Marriott Residence Inn. A smaller portion of the building is 6 stories placed against the hillside and away from the primary views of neighbors. The Marriott Residence Inn consists of 170 LSLU. A LSLU is generally a hotel room with kitchen facilities, or more specifically, it is defined by Chapter 12-2 of theVail Town Code as follows: LODGE UNIT LIMITED SERVICE:Any room or group of rooms with "kitchen facilities", as defined herein, in a limited service lodge which are designed for temporary occupancy by visitors, guests, individuals, or families on a short term rental basis, and accessible from common corridors, walks, or balconies without passing through another accommodation unit, limited service lodge unit, fractional fee club unit or dwelling unit. A limited service lodge unit is not intended for permanent residency and shall not be 3 January 17, 2017 - Page 178 of subdivided into an individual condominium unit, pursuant to title 13, "Subdivision Regulations", of this code. The hotel rooms range from 495 sq. ft. to 641 sq. ft., for a total of approximately 91,000 sq. ft. of LSLU on-site. The Marriott Residence Inn will include a fitness center, hot tub, and pool thus providing recreational amenities onsite. There is also a breakfast room and a small meeting room/ overflow breakfast room. The business model for this type of units does not include a full-service restaurant. Marriott Residence Inn is known for the extended stay lodging category, which recognizes the need and are designed for longer stays with separate living, working, and sleeping areas, making it appealing for family leisure travelers as well as business travelers. There are over 700 locations and over 85,000 rooms of Marriott Residence Inns worldwide. They average an occupancy rate of 79.7% and are one of the more affordable upscale offerings of the Marriott portfolio. RECENT OPENINGS Residence Inn Miami Beach South Beach, FL Residence Inn Seattle University District, WA Opened Mardi 2016 Opened January 2016 The project also includes 113 rental apartment units, with 107 units deed restricted as Type 3 EHUs, generally occupying the eastern half of the building. The developer was approached by the Vail Local Housing Authority members and members of town staff with the idea of encouraging private developers to work with both the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority to construct employee housing on sites that may be appropriate for additional development. At the time of being approached The Harp Group was in the process of submitting building permit plans to the Town to construct the approved Marriott Residence Inn. The developer recognized the opportunity and the previously approved plans were modified to maximize the potential for rental employee housing. The 113 rental units (with 107 deed restricted units) will be the third largest employee housing development in the Town of Vail, behind only Middle Creek and Timber Ridge. The units are a mix of one -bedroom and two-bedroom units, ranging in size from 602 sq. ft. to 1,173 sq. ft., with a total of approximately 95,000 sq. ft. of rental units. The units include a full kitchen, dining area, living room, and washer/dryer, and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Amenities include a fitness room, theater, lounge area, outdoor courtyard, and great room for use of the residents, separate from the facilities offered to hotel guests. The project is served by an underground parking structure with 360 parking spaces. The project maximizes use of the site, with the two levels of underground parking occurring beyond the setbacks. This allows the project to have 14 tandem parking spaces and 346 single -loaded parking spaces. This meets the parking requirements of Chapter 10-12. The parking structure is served by two elevator towers, one serving the hotel uses, and the other serving the apartments. In the earlier submittal, the applicant was seeking a reduced parking requirement (one space for a one bedroom and two spaces for a two bedroom) but based on concerns of the PEC the applicant is now proposing parking that complies with codified standards. Excess parking will be available to public or area employers for lease, similar to the Town's program of selling seasonal passes for parking such as that in front of Safeway and theWestVail Mall. There are 40 excess spaces available for this leasing program. 4 January 17, 2017 - Page 179 of The design of the project was inspired by the existing architecture of Vail, the predominant picturesque nature ofVail, and its immediate environment. The design of the building is predominantly five stories in height, with a smaller area of six stories, and nestled into the sloping landscape of the neighborhood so that from the South Frontage Road it appears to be stepping downhill. The roof has been designed as a green roof to fit into the landscape and provide visual relief for those looking down on the roof. The design of the facade has been broken down both horizontally and vertically stepping up and down as well as in and out with roof forms developed to give the impression that the building is not one structure but a series of smaller scaled building forms that have grown and been built more organically. The height of the building is broken down with steps in roof design, balconies, materials, along with shifts in the elevation as it ascends. This creates an identity and visual character that is not an imposing straight facade but a rich woven tapestry of movement along the facade. The proposed project has two site access points. The western access point is a full movement access, with two out -bound lanes and one in -bound lane. The access and drive are similar to the previously approved design. The structure is shared between both uses with the separation of parking for each use occurring within the structure. The eastern access is in -bound only and is used to access the front doors for both uses. Generally, the employee housing units will not use the eastern access, as they will access the parking structure via the western access. Arriving guests of the hotel can check in, valet their cars or self park without returning onto the Frontage Road. This allows the primary circulation for the uses to occur on-site. The site design provides for all required turn lanes, a transit stop, the continuation of the 10 ft. bike path which is now separated from the road when possible, then separated by a landscape area before the internal 20 ft. drive aisle occurs. There is additional landscape area between the drive aisle and the building. The project maintains the previously approved sidewalk connection from Meadow Ridge Road through the property along the western property line allowing for easy transit access to those in the neighborhood. There is an internal courtyard with outdoor planting area within the apartment building. Because the site is steep along the north and western property lines, there is a significant retaining wall needed. These walls, though taller than the 6 ft. allowed by the Town, are similar to those that were constructed at the new Lion's Ridge project. The retaining walls are screened from the view of the public by the apartment building itself, those only visually impacting the sites residents. 5 January 17, 2017 - Page 180 of III. Zoning The project is proposed as a Special Development District (SDD), with the existing underlying zoning of Public Accommodation - 2 (PA -2). The PA -2 zone district purpose statement states (12-7J-1): The public accommodation -2 district is intended to provide sites for lodges, limited service lodges, and residential accommodations on a short term basis, for visitors and guests, together with such public and semipublic facilities and commercial/retail and related visitor oriented uses as may be appropriately located within the same zone district and compatible with adjacent land uses. This district is intended to provide for lodging sites located outside the periphery of the town's Vail Village and Lionshead commercial core areas. The public accommodation -2 district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of the zone district by establishing appropriate site development standards. Additional nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses which enhance the nature of Vail as a vacation community, and where permitted uses are intended to function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the zone district. The PA -2 zone district allows for the following permitted and conditional uses: I 2-7J-2: PERMITTED USES: The following uses shall be permitted in the PA -2 district: Employee housing units, as further regulated by chapter 13 of this title. Limited service lodge, including accessory eating, drinking, or retail establishments located within the principal use and not occupying more than ten percent (10%) of the total gross residential floor area of the main structure or structures on the site; additional accessory dining areas may be located on an outdoor deck, porch, or terrace. Lodges, including accessory eating, drinking, or retail establishments located within the principal use and not occupying more than ten percent (10%) of the total gross residential floor area of the main structure or structures on the site; additional accessory dining areas may be located on an outdoor deck, porch, or terrace. 12-7J-3: CONDITIONAL USES: The following conditional uses shall be permitted in the PA -2 district, subject to issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of chapter 16 of this title: Bed and breakfasts, as further regulated by section 12-14-18 of this title. Fractional fee club units, as further regulated by subsection 12-16-7A8 of this title. Lodges, including accessory eating, drinking, or retail establishments located within the principal use and occupying between ten percent (10%) and fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross residential floor area of the buildings, grounds and facilities. Public or commercial parking facilities or structures. Public transportation terminals. 6 January 17, 2017 - Page 181 of Public utility and public service uses. Religious institutions. Theaters and convention facilities. SDDs allow for flexibility from the underlying zoning. The purpose of the SDD is provided as follows (12-9A-1): The purpose of the special development district is to encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of the new development with the town; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail comprehensive plan. An approved development plan for a special development district, in conjunction with the property's underlying zone district, shall establish the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the special development district. Uses within an SDD are determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council as part of the review of the development plan, but are limited to those listed as permitted, conditional and accessory uses of the underlying zone district. The uses included in the proposal include a limited service lodge and employee housing units. The following section provides a general overview of the development plan by providing a zoning analysis and summary of the project. Development standards that deviate from the underlying zoning have been high -lighted in yellow. For reference, a comparison of the previous approvals on the property have been provided. 7 January 17, 2017 - Page 182 of IV.

Written Narrative:A written narrative explaining how the employee housing plan meets the purposes of this chapter and complies with the town's comprehensive plan. Applicant Analysis: Section 12-23-1: Purpose and Applicability, of the Vail Town Code provides the purpose of the Commercial Linkage Requirements: The purpose of this chapter is to ensure that new commercial development and redevelopment in the town provide for a reasonable amount of employee housing to mitigate the impact on employee housing caused by such commercial development and redevelopment. The mitigation rates were established by the Town of Vail Employee Housing Nexus study. These rates are based on a survey of various properties in mountain communities. The Town Vail Land Use Plan offers the following goals with regard to employee housing: 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town o f 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. In 2008, the Town of Vail established the Employee Housing Strategic Plan, which brought together all of the Town's goals on employee housing into a single plan. It provides the following: 12 January 17, 2017 - Page 187 of In 2006, through the Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future process the community established a housing goal. It is as follows: "The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development." Based upon the community's work, the Vail Town Council has confirmed the Town of Vail recognizes deed restricted employee housing as basic infrastructure. This type of housing allows employees to live within the town, promoting community, and improving the quality of our local workforce, thereby supporting the local economy, and reducing regional transit needs. The Employee Housing Strategic Plan (EHSP) seeks to meet the expectations established by the community and confirmed by the Town Council and provide enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the community's workforce to live in the Town o f Vail through a variety of policies, regulations and publicly initiated development projects. The Employee Housing Strategic Plan then outlines the various objectives and policies for implementing the plan. It provides a list of Town Initiatives, one of which is specifically applicable to this project: Incentive Zoning and Density Bonuses The Town will consider workforce housing objectives in all review processes that permit discretion. This means that the Town will work actively with developers as a part of the Housing District, Special Development District review processes and requested changes in zoning to not only meet the requirements of existing code, but to look for opportunities to go beyond code requirements to encourage additional workforce housing to be created. As a part of these review processes the Town will work actively with developers to create incentives to develop housing that exceeds the minimal requirements contained in the code. Additional density may be granted in selected locations through the appropriate review processes, and fee waivers and subsidies may be considered. The Incentives Zoning and Density Bonuses help Vail to "catch up" with existing deficiencies and add to the overall percent of employees living within the Town o f Vail. As indicated in this submittal, the proposal complies with and furthers the purposes and goals of the Town's employee housing requirements and master plans. The project provides housing for 206 employees beyond the requirements. 13 January 17, 2017 - Page 188 of VI. Criteria for Review Section 12-9A-8: DESIGN CRITERIA AND NECESSARY FINDINGS,Vail Town Code, then provides the criteria for review of the establishment of a Special Development District. These criteria have been provided below, along with an analysis of how this proposal complies with these criteria: I. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Applicant Response: The design of the project was inspired by the existing architecture of Vail and the predominant picturesque nature of Vail and its immediate environment. The design of the building is predominantly five stories in height, with smaller areas of six stories, and nestled into the sloping landscape of the neighborhood so that from the Frontage Road it appears to be stepping downhill. The roof has been designed as a green roof to fit into the landscape. The building is nestled into the site and serves to block significant traffic noise and the view of the frontage road and 1-70. Because of its lower elevation and separation from adjacent condominium units, the views to the mountain are not blocked. With the changes to the plans, the height of the project has been reduced dramatically, as indicated in the following height diagram: R1 - Historic Grade Diagram - 48' NORmber 2 2016 PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT APARTMENTS AND ATTACHED PARKING STRUCTURE vo,I Colorado 14 January 17, 2017 - Page 189 of The design of the facade has been broken down both horizontally and vertically stepping up and down as well as in and out with roof forms developed to give the impression that the building is not one structure but a series of smaller scaled buildings that have grown and built more organically. The height of the building is broken down with steps in roof design, balconies, materials, along with shifts in the elevation as it ascends. This creates an identity and visual character that is not an imposing straight facade but a rich woven tapestry of movement along the facade. The entry to the employee housing units is more restrained but easy to access from the same entry drive, though it is likely that residents will access their units from the garage. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Applicant Response: The site is surrounded by residential uses to the east, west and north, and 1-70 right-of-way to the south. Buffehr Creek Condominiums are located directly to the west. Hillside Condominiums and Mustang Condominiums are located directly to the north. The Grand Traverse neighborhood is located to the east, with Tract A (Open Space Parcel) directly adjacent to the property. Across 1-70 is Donovan Park, along with a single-family and duplex home. 1,1W Multi-Family Residential: c 6 units on 1.04 acres Single Family and Duplex Open Space parcel of Grand Traverse Multi -Family Residential: 8 units on .73 acres Multi -Family Residential: 20 units on .69 acres Multi -Family Residential: 3 units on .27 acres 15 January 17, 2017 - Page 190 of The character of the neighborhood should be viewed in the context of what is currently present on and around the subject site. The Roost Lodge has been in existence since the early 1970s and proven to be compatible with adjacent land uses. Considering the various multi- family buildings in the immediate vicinity of the previous Roost Lodge property, to the west and north, a structure which accommodates multiple -family and limited service lodge units is in keeping with the existing surrounding uses. The size of the proposed building is in direct proportion with the size of the development site, which encompasses approximately two acres. Considering the physical state of the previous Roost Lodge, the proposal will have a significant, positive effect on the character of the neighborhood because it will be a new, state of the art (metal and concrete structural system) aesthetically pleasing structure placed on a well landscaped site. 3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. Applicant Response: The Marriott Residence Inn complies with the parking requirements of Chapter 12-10. The parking analysis is provided in the tables below: Use Table 5: Parking as Required by Chapter 12-10 Requirement Formula Parking Required Limited Service Lodge Units Dwelling Units Total Requirement With Multiple Use Parking Reduction Total Parking Proposed Tandem Spaces Single Spaces In excess of requirements .7 spaces per unit If a dwelling unit's gross residential floor area is more than 500 square feet, but less than 2,000 square feet: 2 spaces .7 spaces * 170 units = 2 spaces * 113 units = 119 226 345 301-400 spaces is 319.125 7.5% 360 14 346 40.875 The applicant is proposing the excess spaces be available to the public, local employers, and tenants for either annual or monthly parking passes. Users of the parking can then utilize the hotel shuttle or the Town's transit system to access other areas of town. The applicant is proposing that a maximum of 40 spaces be available to the public for this use. Because the operator will have control over this use, if parking is ever problematic for either the hotel or the apartments, they can adjust this number to meet the demand. The applicant reserves the right to apply for right to lease additional parking spaces should the applicant be able to show there is a greater surplus of parking spaces available. 16 January 17, 2017 - Page 191 of Loading for the project will primarily occur in the 20 ft. access in front of the building. There is adequate room for two loading areas. Because the hotel does not have a full service restaurant, there is a limited need for loading facilities. This is consistent with the three previous approvals for the hotel project. Table 6: Loading Analysis Use Loading Requirement Loading Requirement LS LU s DUs Total Credit for Multiple Use Total Requirement 1 loading berth for uses up to 75,000 square feet total floor area, plus 1 additional berth for each 25,000 square feet total floor area in excess of 75,000 square feet 2 1 loading berth for uses up to 100,000 square feet gross residential floor area, plus 1 additional berth for each 50,000 square feet gross residential floor area in excess of 100,000 square feet I 3 Reduction from 3 to 2 berth 2 As proposed, the project complies with the Loading Requirements outlined in Chapter 12-10. There is a requirement that loading and delivery not occur within the front setback. However, due to the limited need for loading and delivery for the project, the applicant is requesting a deviation from this requirement. Due to the linear nature of the site and the large turning radii needed for large vehicles, it is least impactful to the site to utilize the 20 ft. wide driveway for this use. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. Applicant Response: According to the Official Land Use Plan for the Town of Vail, the development site has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential. Pursuant to the Vail Land Use Plan: The Medium Density Residential land use designation includes sites for housing which would typically be designed as attached units with common walls. Densities in this category would range from 3 to 14 dwelling units per buildable acre. Additional types of uses in this category would include private recreation facilities, private parking facilities and institutional/public uses such as churches, fire stations, and parks and open space facilities. The project also complies with the relevant elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan including the following policies: 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. 17 January 17, 2017 - Page 192 of 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). 3.1 - The hotel bed base should be preserved and use more efficiently. 3.3 - Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town ofVail, there fore conversion to condominiums should be discouraged. 3.4 - Commercial growth should be concentrated in existing commercial areas to accommodate both local and visitor needs. 5.1 - Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3 - Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town ofVail, with appropriate restrictions. 5.4 - Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 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. The project is consistent with the Town's stated goal of increasing hotel beds and the provision of employee housing within the Town. The Town of Vail Community Survey of 2016 noted that when asked to list the top two priorities, the most frequently mentioned actions were: Focus on housing for middle income and service worker households in vital support roles • Economic vitality • Budget and capital management • Actions to protect and enhance Gore Creek • Environmental sustainability Respondents identified housing as their top priority among all of the community issues and also allocated the most funding towards it in a monetary exercise designed to determine top financial priorities. Housing emerged prominently from the open-ended comments as well; many respondents are concerned about the issue and feel it needs to be addressed by the Town. The 2016 Community Survey also states the following with regard to employee housing: Affordable and adequate housing for employees in the Town ofVail was one of the top issues that came up repeatedly throughout the survey results. Respondents identified housing as their top priority among all of the community issues and also allocated the most funding towards it in a monetary exercise designed to determine top financial priorities (discussed below). Housing emerged prominently from the open-ended comments as well; many respondents are concerned about the issue and feel it needs to be addressed by the Town. Techniques to expand workforce housing opportunities were examined thoroughly this year in a new series of questions. Respondents are highly supportive of various techniques to address the 18 January 17, 2017 - Page 193 of housing problems present in Vail. On a scale from 1 to 4 where 1 is "not at all supportive" and 4 is "very supportive," respondents rated four proposed techniques to expand workforce housing. Increasing the requirement for contributing to workforce housing among developers (77 percent gave ratings of 3 or 4), permitting required housing to be built down -valley (75 percent), requiring a contribution to workforce housing for residential development (68 percent), and permitting increased density in limited locations or circumstances (57 percent) all received larger shares of supportive respondents than unsupportive respondents. Respondents prioritized employee housing and parking, as further explained by the 2016 Community Survey: Financial Prioritization. A new question this year had respondents prioritize five improvements for the Vail community relative to one another by allocating $100 across the various categories to best reflect their priorities. Housing emerged at the top of the list, with respondents allocating the most on average towards expanded housing opportunities for middle income and service worker households ($27). Parking improvements to add capacity at peak times, actions to protect and enhance Gore Creek (each $20), and transportation improvements ($18) followed closely. The creation of a sizable enclosed space to support cultural and community activities and events was the lowest priority, with an average allocation of $ 11. The dominance of housing, parking, and the environment in this financial exercise is consistent with top priorities noted throughout the survey. The 2007Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan was adopted with the goal to create a clear vision for Vail. It provides the following vision statement: We are the "Premier Mountain Resort Community" by providing high quality of life and experiences for both residents and visitors. This is achieved through environmental stewardship, world-class recreational, cultural and educational opportunities, a strong year-round economy, diversity of housing, and superior infrastructure. The town actively seeks input and cooperation from the community and its neighbors to ensure fulfillment of its vision. It specifically provides goals and action strategies specific to employee housing, with the following: Goal: The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. • Research parking requirements for employee housing and consider reducing requirements for employee housing developments. • Expand the number of employee beds in the Town ofVail. As indicated in the above analysis, the Town ofVail has continually identified increasing the hotel bed base, the provision of employee housing, and additional parking as top priorities in the Town. These are reoccurring themes throughout various master planning documents, Town surveys, and strategic plans. It is a unique project that can bring all three to the table. As a result, the proposed project complies with the comprehensive plans and Town policies. 19 January 17, 2017 - Page 194 of 5. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Applicant Response: The proposed amendment has has no effect on the above criterion. There are no natural or geologic hazards that affect the property. Soils and geotechnical reports have been included with the submittal. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Applicant Response: The site design provides for all required turn lanes, a transit stop, the continuation of the 10 ft. bike path, then a landscape area before the internal 20 ft. drive aisle. There is additional landscape area between the drive aisle and the building. The project maintains the previously approved sidewalk connection from Meadow Ridge Road through the property along the western property line. There is an internal courtyard with outdoor planting area. Because the site is steep along the north and western property lines, there is significant retaining walls needed. This has been sensitively designed area between each wall to allow for landscaping. These walls, though taller than the 6 ft. allowed by the Town, are similar to those that were constructed at the new Lion's Ridge project. The walls are not largely visible to the general public being hidden by the apartment building itself. The building has been broken down both horizontally and vertically stepping up and down as well as in and out with roof forms developed to give the impression that the building is not one structure but a series of smaller buildings constructed over time. The building steps down with the natural grade, creating movement of the roof forms along with the slope. The project has been designed to create a functional development, that is responsive to the site, and is sensitive to the natural features of the site. 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic j is circulation. Applicant Response: The proposed project has two site access points: western access and eastern access. The western access point is a full movement access, with two out -bound lanes and one in -bound lane. The structure is shared between both uses (hotel and employee housing units) with the separation of parking for each use occurring within the structure. The eastern access is in -bound only, and is used to access the front doors for both uses. Generally, the employee housing units will not use the eastern access, as they will access the parking structure via the western access. Arriving guests of the hotel can check in, valet their cars or self park without returning onto the Frontage Road. This allows the primary circulation for the uses to occur on-site. A Traffic Study, prepared by McDowell Engineering has been included with this submittal. Using the information provided by the Traffic Study,Alpine Engineering provided the civil plans showing the necessary improvements to the North Frontage Road. 20 January 17, 2017 - Page 195 of The circulation system has been design to the Town's specifications and addresses all modes of transportation. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Applicant Response: The site is generally flat along, with the steeper slopes along the north and east property lines. Because it was a previous development site, there is not significant vegetation on the site following the demolition of the Roost Lodge. The current design maximizes the site, with the underground parking structure abutting the property lines. The structure was designed to allow adequate depth and soil for plantings to occur along the building. This creates a design opportunity for the landscape architect, MacDesign. The landscape has been designed to compliment the structure, creating a building that sits within the landscape. Shade trees are shown between the bike path and the access drive, creating a natural landscape buffer between these uses. Shrubs and ornamental grasses are shown adjacent to the building, creating the more formal landscape along the entries to the building. The following photos show the general concept for the landscaping adjacent to the building: The sidewalk shown from the rear of the building and connecting to the sidewalk connection from Meadow Ridge Road is landscaped with native species and continues some of the more formal landscape from the front entries. The landscape transitions to more native vegetation 21 January 17, 2017 - Page 196 of and grasses as the slope connects to Meadow Ridge Road. Where the property is adjacent to the Grand Traverse open space, the retaining walls are softened with plantings, creating a visually pleasing view for the residents, as these walls are are largely invisible to the general public. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Applicant Response: The proposed amendment has no effect on the above criterion. The project will be constructed in one phase. Construction is estimated to take 18 months to complete. 22 January 17, 2017 - Page 197 of VII.

It seems the developer has been asked very little by the town so far in terms of modifying their proposal in order to fit the scale of the neighborhood or improve the surrounding neighborhood. Typically, as in any negotiation, a developer such as the Harp group will go in asking for more than they expect to receive. I feel there is further to go in this negotiation process and the town should do more to cut a better deal for a hotel and apartment complex that can still serve the needs of the town and at the same time improve the neighborhood rather than detract from it. For the record, my family lives at the top of Meadow Ridge Road in 1817 Meadow Ridge #4. Our view would not be compromised by the new hotel but we feel there is more constructive work to be done in order to ensure the town and local neighborhood's needs and concerns are met regarding this development.

We would like to be on record as very against such a development. We are very disappointed that such a monstrosity is even up for consideration in our area considering no other structure in the area exceeds 3 floors. Our area would be forever scarred if such a large building were to be built. It is not our fault nor the town's that the developer overpaid for the property and wants to overbuild to ensure a healthy profit. By taking the time and making the developer come up with a less dense and tall structure, it will set a precedent to make sure future developers do not expect the town to make exceptions each & every time a developer wants to overbuild their purchased lot because they paid too much. If such a project is approved, I am concerned about several other issues concerning the density that will be added to the area. First, the local park, Buffehr Creek, is already overwhelmed by its users and pets. Not only do my children play in the park, but we also take our dog over there, whom we always clean up after. I unfortunately have witnessed many other pet owners not clean up after their dogs. I fear that if this new development allows their tenants and guests to have pets that the park will further be overwhelmed by dog waste. This is not acceptable to us considering the number of children that play in the park that would be subject to even more pet waste. The new property should not be allowed to be pet friendly at all. Even if they provide their own park area, there is no doubt that the guests and tenants will also go elsewhere. Another concern is the increase in traffic that is sure to happen. Even though all traffic for the new development will be kept on the frontage road, there is no doubt that the increase in traffic will create additional hazards to all drivers in the area. What actions will the town take to ensure that the problems do not become bigger? Please do the right thing and send this back to the developer to design a more modest structure that will match the neighborhood well.

I recognize Margaret Briggs has already shared much correspondence representing our complex's shared concerns. I won't repeat her points here but would like to note that we agree with all of them and to share another reservation that we have, especially considering our we have two younger children. One of our primary fears which the development fails to acknowledge is the impact of traffic and associated safety on the Frontage road. Rarely a weekend evening passes when we don't see someone passing over the ridge heading westbound being pulled over for speeding in front of our building. Pulling out into traffic to head east (and even to the west) generally takes a lot of patience, caution and even then, can be challenging. We are concerned that the risk of accidents will dramatically increase with this development, not only from residents and guests, but the trucks responsible for food delivery and waste removal. We're not sure if the logistics for this been taken into account, along with the impact to the regular bus services along the frontage road, that would address this. We recognize the desire to improve the opportunity for cheaper housing in Vail. Ironically my sister — almost two decades ago — had gained employment in Vail but was unable to accept the work because of inability to find housing. However, adding two stories to a development seems to be overkill in this case — little upside in terms of dinting the overall housing problem in return for upsetting virtually all the residents in the area, the overall look and character of the neighborhood, and introducing the risk and danger of congestion based accidents. We understand the process to create affordable housing needs be being somewhere, we only ask that it be done in a way that considers the impact of how this is implemented. We appreciate your consideration of our unease regarding this subject.

That should allow the trees to survive, as well as give the project room to do the necessary soil pinning and retention within the property lines, rather than encroaching onto our property. I'm not sure if we're just finishing the first reading tomorrow or moving into the second reading, but we'd love to see the renderings include our building so the scale can be properly represented. I think this visual will be important to the council and the neighborhood to understand what this proposal looks like in the context of the neighborhood. Also, I feel the comparisons to the "original proposal" are misleading. I'd suggest we compare the new proposal against the last approved project, the residence inn only. I feel it would be appropriate to show the council the difference in size between the last approved project and the current proposal. Peter was quoted in the vail daily to the effect that he would have been building the prior approval had he not been approached regarding adding housing, so we need to see the difference in scope with this addition of housing versus what was last approved for the site. Thanks for listening to our concerns and responding, it is much appreciated! Chris On Mon, Jan 2, 2017 at 3:45 PM Diane <dfbatchelor@yahoo.com> wrote: Thanks Dominic.

It's too tall, and will set a precedence for all of West Vail; it's too many units on too small a lot and will cause a huge impact to the neighborhood in traffic impacts, height impacts to units behind the building and too big a building in a 3 -story height restricted neighborhood. There is nothing in all of this area to the West Vail Interchange of this magnitude. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I have been an owner of property adjacent to this re -development for 46 years. This massive building does not belong on this site.

I am opposed to the current Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016 and plans as currently proposed. I am specifically opposed to the zero set back, massing and height of the proposed structure, the proposed density and traffic concerns. Approving any development with zero setbacks sets a dangerous precedent for future developers. The mass of the building and five stories above ground as proposed does not fit in with the character of the neighborhood. I have read Attachment G, the revised Transportation Impact Study for Vail Marriott Residence Inn Redevelopment, that is part of today's Vail Town Council Agenda Memo. The study does not address the impact that this development will have on the TOV bus, specifically the Green Line nor offer any solutions. I would invite all of the council members to ride the West Vail Green during peak hours this ski season and draw your own conclusions as to how the proposed hotel guests and residents will get to Vail Transportation Center during the winter. Mr. Mauriello certainly reminded you of the financial benefit to the Town's 'coffers" of his clients development in his December 31, 2016 letter to council. I work for a real estate development company that engages city councils, building commissions and city administration offices and the community when we propose a new development that is intended to improve a community through development. Many cities do not look first to the tax revenue. I do trust that the Vail Town Council considers the community and local neighborhoods before counting revenue flowing into the "coffers". 1 I would like to see a worthy development take place on the Roost Lodge site and I understand that you will never satisfy all of the NIMBYs. I do not believe that it is necessary to build a building that will block all of the sunlight and mountain views that my seven immediate neighbors and I enjoy at the Hillside Condominium Association. I invite all of you to visit my home and take a look at the site from my second and third floor balcony's that overlook the western parking lot at the old Roost Lodge to imagine what five stories above ground would look like. The height would tower over the Buffer Creek Condominiums that are immediately adjacent to the west. The recent graphic renderings certainly do not do justice to the mass and height of the proposed development in relation to the Buffer Creek Condominiums or the Hillside Condominium communities. Regretfully I will not be able to attend this evening's council meeting. I ask that the first reading of Ordinance No. 35, Series of 2016 be tabled until the developers address concerns of the Vail community in regards to the setbacks, height, density, parking and traffic concerns of the Vail community.

The impact of increased density on the small two acre lot would be devastating to the entire neighborhood. The part of the North Trail that is used by the neighborhood will be negatively impacted by the increased foot traffic. People will divert auto traffic onto Lionsridge Loop to avoid the frontage road exactly like the nightmare you created with the new roundabout construction. This increased density for such a small space is unwarranted, and will not work.

There are a number of positive outcomes the project lends to Vail and the Vail Valley. Most importantly, the project provides the following: Additional limited service hotel rooms Additional affordable housing Additional parking Additional income to the TOV The aforementioned provides a number of key initiatives that have been identified within our business community. While there may be a few challenges that need to be addressed, I encourage the Town Council to find creative solutions to move the project forward. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Mark Herron 1 Tammy Nagel From: Sent: To: Subject: Dear Town Council, Chris Southwick <csouth350@gmail.com> Wednesday, January 4, 2017 12:27 AM Council Dist List Marriott Proposal Comments My name is Chris Southwick. I live at 1329 Elkhorn Drive (Buzzard Park) and I am currently a seasonal bus driver for the town. I've been regularly coming to council meetings. I find them very interesting and I really appreciate the thoughtful discussion that occurs at each meeting. After attending the January 3rd meeting, I have a couple of comments regarding the proposed Marriott development: • Density- As you all know, if Vail wants to continue to grow it is going to have to become more dense especially if the town wants to maintain the open space that it controls. Part of what attracted me to Vail is the livability and walkability that its density provides. The town has not shied away from density in the past and I think density should be viewed as a positive and not a negative. • Location- The site location is a perfect spot for increased density if the town wants to support sustainable development. It is within walking distance of the West Vail Mall and along both West Vail bus routes. With this development there could potentially be enough demand to even run the West Vail Express in both directions all day connecting Chamonix, West Vail Mall, Marriott, Timber Ridge, Red Sandstone School, Middle Creek, and the Transportation Center. With this easy access to alternative forms of transportation this development would not only improve the employee housing issue but also the parking issue by shifting travel mode share away from single occupy vehicles. • Scale Compared to Surrounding Neighborhood- It is true that this building will be much larger that the surrounding homes but I think it is important to not only look at the neighborhood today but to try to envision what it will look like 15-20 years in the future. While the Marriott might look a little of place now, if the surrounding neighborhood is going to become more dense in the future it will likely blend in much better down the road. If we never allow anything different than the status quo then change will never occur. • Tradeoffs- While it is likely very tempting to promote a smaller building. I think that it is important to not push to the point where the project no longer becomes viable. The employee housing that this project provides will make a large dent in the town's overall need without any funds from the Housing Strategic Plan 2027. It might be possible to negotiate a smaller building with the same number of employee housing units with a town subsidy but then the remaining Housing Strategic Plan 2027 funds will not go as far. I think that it is a fair tradeoff to approve a slightly larger than ideal building for the significant amount of "free" employee housing that it provides. Thanks for your time and I look forward to the next council meeting, Chris 1 Chris Southwick 908-752-2759 2 Tammy Nagel From: Patty McKenny Sent: Wednesday, January 4, 2017 12:00 PM To: Council Dist List Cc: George Ruther Subject: Marriott Residence Inn PRoject : Public Input from the Aliens attached:) Attachments: Scanned from a Xerox Multifunction Printer.pdf PLEASE SEE PUBLIC INPUT ATTACHED:) Patty McKenny Town Clerk Town of Vail pmckenny@vailgov.com 479-2136 Original Message From: xerox@vailgov.com [mailto:xerox@vailgov.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2017 10:32 AM To: Patty McKenny Subject: Scan from TOV Admin Attachment File Type: pdf, Multi -Page Multifunction Printer Location: Device Name: Xerox 7970 Tammy Nagel From: Ben Dodd <bhdodd@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 4, 2017 5:56 PM To: Council Dist List Subject: Vail Marriott Workforce Housing Plan Rejection Please write back.

Sincerely, Ben Dodd 1 Tammy Nagel From: Pete Feistmann <feistmann@earthlink.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 4, 2017 7:59 PM To: Council Dist List Subject: Follow up on Marriott project Attachments: Council talk V2.docx Dear Council Members, First, thank you for your obvious interest in getting all possible input from the community on the Marriott project, and your patience with the process. Your devotion to the town, and your desire to "get this right" is wonderful to see. Second, I want to apologize to all of you for being too outspoken about requiring residents to work in Vail. Greg's points were valid, and my mistake was that I simply hadn't thought about it that way. I wonder, though, if you could make a Vail job an initial requirement for residence, and waive that requirement if the project doesn't fill with such people in a specified period? After move -in, the current requirement seems appropriate. Finally, while it's fresh in all our minds, I'd like to make some follow up comments on financial viability. Before doing so, I want to assure you I'm not a NIMBY about this. I share your desire to see an appropriately sized and designed project. Mr. Dumon may well be a fine person who has his heart in the right place, and will build us a great project. However, when he described citizens providing you with public record background information as engaging in character assassination, and then gave a long story about what happened without, unless I missed it, taking any responsibility for making mistakes, I found it worrisome. So in addition to taking a hard look at the project's financial projections, ideally with assistance from competent real estate consultants with knowledge of the sad history of Vail hotel developments, I urge you to look further into how Mr. Dumon is financially involved with the project. I think you should get answers to the following questions: 1) Is he receiving any financial benefit before the project becomes profitable? He said this project is 50% equity funded, so he must have investors. Some, but not all, real estate projects make management or other payments to their promoters before investors receive anything. In some cases, that even occurs before construction starts. In others, land is marked up before being assigned to the project. Such arrangements would be deeply disturbing to me, and I hope to you. I suggest you ask for his Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) or similar document. It will reveal deal terms. 2) Does he have a material personal investment in the project? If so, how does he define "material"? If not, I would be very worried. There should be an answer in the PPM, or his investor presentation. Regardless of the answers to these questions, I think you should obtain "bullet proof' bonding to ensure project completion, and structure the deal so the deed restrictions cannot be lifted under any circumstances. I hope you share my view that this is all an appropriate part of the effort to "get this right". If I can help in any way, you need only ask. I've attached a copy of my comments from last night so you will have a written record. Thanks again for considering my views.

And there is a push for using Open Space and buying Forest Service land (also with tax -payers money!) for housing with the justification the "there aren't other options".

It is vital to Vail's economy and community that we embrace density within the town boundaries and that we work with private developers to build as many resident housing units as possible. Vail is a cosmopolitan, urban community (consider: Interstate 70 runs through town) and this project fits many needs including the workforce housing and a mid-level hotel project, and all financed by the developer. It was unfortunate to read in the Vail Daily that the council did not accept this project as proposed. It is exactly what we need in order for Vail to continue to thrive as a community — and to continue to provide the high levels of guest service we are known for. Please consider that you represent the entire community — including non-voting second homeowners like me — and not just the loud, "not in my backyard" crowd. I encourage you to vote yes on this proposed project.

I support the Marriott workforce housing project in West Vail. This project is a good start to addressing the workforce housing needs within the Town of Vail. This project brings high-quality, moderately priced housing, it's on the bus line and it has shuttle service. Most importantly, the project will be funded by a private developer without taxpayer funding. I am sensitive to the impacts of a large project on the West Vail neighborhoods, however, I expect after the project is complete that the negative sentiment will subside similar to some of the sentiments that surrounded Solaris and Arrabelle in the planning phases. I also agree with some of the comments made by Council members at the last meeting that it is Council's job to represent all of Vail and not just the vocal minority that lives close to the proposed project. It's a good deal for Vail! Please approve this project.

The project is attractive, architecturally interesting, addresses your desire for "hot beds" in town, and perhaps most importantly, will help to make a dent in the dire need for employee housing. I actually find it unfortunate that the latest rendition loses eleven apartments... that is at least eleven fewer employees who will be able to have an attractive place to live. I would implore you not to push this developer so far that he just throws in the towel and builds the hotel with the minimum number of employee units required. Talk about egg on our face as a town, for not seeing the forest for the trees. So again, if you are comfortable with the developer, and with his financing, GO FOR IT and approve this project. It answers many dire needs, and appears to do so in an attractive, high quality manner. Thank you, and thank you for your service to our town. We do appreciate you!

My e-mail today is in support of the Marriot Residence Inn project and ask that you consider these opinions in your coming vote on this project. Just a few years ago in 2012, I employed 21 people at our firm. As recently as last year I was down to 1 employee. Thanks to signs of the economy getting stronger in Eagle and Summit Counties we are back 9 employees! Since we are a specialized service, quality land surveyors are not readily available in Eagle county. I am forced to hire from the front range and out of state. My biggest draw back on attracting quality employees has become affordable housing in the last couple of years. I have lost many good prospects to this problem, that all of you admit is the top 2 TOV concerns, housing and parking. My current employees live in Breckenridge, Leadville, Edwards, Gypsum and even New Castle. After many years, my family no longer lives in Vail. I employee only one person that resides in the TOV. This project goes a long ways to helping with our housing and parking problems. I understand some of your concerns about the project being too big and not meeting current zoning guide lines. One council member mentioned to me they feel the project of this size belongs "down valley". Another stated that they do not want to rush into this. !also have heard the concerns for additional traffic in the area along the N. Frontage Rd at Buffehr Creek Rd. My answer to the above concerns are as follows: The size of the project is just over its limits for the current zoning. A SDD is a small sacrifice for what is to be gained by this project. 96 local market rates deed restricted units and 331 underground parking spaces! If this project was say out by the Racquet Club, I would agree with you, but it is on the N. Frontage Road facing 1-70 and near super markets and strip mall. 1 couldn't think of a more perfect location in Vail for this project. By thinking this would be better suited, down valley, you would be creating a worse traffic and parking problem! Say Mr. Dumon develops this down in Eagle -Vail, now you have some average of 200 cars (assuming each unit has 2 drivers) coming into Vail to work and ski. This project is on the bus route and walking distance to City Market, it would cut down on traffic and parking on the frontage roads. Not to mention what it would do to help our air quality. This project has been in the works for many years, I hardly consider that "rushing into anything"! We have an opportunity to take a bite out of our housing and parking problems paid for by a private developer. There is always talk of raising taxes to help fund affordable housing, you have private money wanting to do it for you! If one of my employees was looking to buy in Vail, I would strongly advise against them spending $700,000 on a deed restricted unit (Chamonix). The Town missed it on that one, don't let this great opportunity slip away. You may never get such a sweet offer again.

It is an unfortunate problem that the Vail community faces along with parking in this area. The town of Vail relies on Winter to bring in most of its economy, during this time there is an increase in the need for employees to service those who come to Vail and boost this economy during the Winter months. The problem is that housing is so expensive, and so difficult to find that businesses are becoming understaffed, turn over rates increase, and keeping quality workers is difficult if not near impossible. These factors do impact the town of Vail as many of these businesses run on seasonal employees, if housing continues to become a problem then these businesses will begin to suffer, and if businesses begin to suffer, so will the economy. I do hope this project is approved as it will give an opportunity to those who need it most and work to drive the life blood of these businesses that make Vail what it is today, like no place on Earth.

It will change the character of our neighborhood in a negative way. We already have Vail Commons and the new Chamonix development. Our neighborhood is disproportionately carrying the bulk of employee housing. This developer is waging a public relations campaign against us...it is a "David and Goliath" battle.

This huge, dense building does not belong in our community. Our tenants (who ALSO live and work in Vail), do not deserve this. On a side note, we personally still have not seen an artist's rendering with our small building pictured, as previously requested. Did the council receive one? Have the revised plans been published for us to review? I have looked on the town website, but cannot seem to find them. We also have new concerns, that the developer was under the misguided belief this project would fly through approvals will little resistance, and that is why he scraped the previous plans. Now that the VVP, housing authority, and local businesses have all come out in force (not to mention the full page ad they bought), we must wonder what conversations have previously taken place, unbeknown to us. We certainly hope we are wrong, but believe the Town Council to be our last line of defense against inappropriate promises, influence and collusion. Please be our community's advocates. Vail deserves better than this. We maintain our belief, to build the community of the future you all seem to want, affordable housing for families with children must be included. This project does not serve that need.

We also understand the head of the PEC voted against the project. Our small building (10 units) is hard pressed to fight the endless stream of businesses, we presume, recruited by the developer to support the newest (larger yet) proposed development, especially when some of those living in Vail need to work or live out of town (as we do). We also find it an interesting coincidence how meetings and decisions which started this summer, have been postponed until Vail's busiest working season, when it is more difficult for working property owners in the neighborhood to attend. Regardless of the above, George Ruther ensured us that our original letter was passed along to council, but we do want to ensure you also have our response to George. We have also copied our neighbors in the building. We wish we could attend the meeting on December 20th in person, but unfortunately, we do live 1800 miles away. As George so astutely noted, housing has been an issue in Vail for decades - with concern of businesses closing and school populations decreasing. We do have to wonder who exactly the town's direction on redevelopment is geared towards? Families with children or adults without children? Because the Roost plan, as it sits right now, will do little to bring affordable housing to families. We know what you must be thinking - boy, that is the cat calling the kettle black - when we obviously fit into the "adults without children" category. However, we have also read, in the last year or so, interesting articles in the Vail Daily, about the town's redevelopment efforts, and speaking as an older couple who actually live in a community with many children (in the outer suburbs of Philadelphia), it is the children that make up a huge portion of the sense of community. We are willing to pay fairly high school taxes, to live in and support the wonderful community we live in now. We are also happy to do the same for Vail. But we wonder who we are really supporting? The businesses or the families who live in Vail? Vail needs to take a long, hard look at itself in the mirror before this project is passed, and decide who it really wants to be. Please take a moment and digest that sentence for a minute. Because in a sense, this project could be a turning point for the future of both West and East Vail. If you want a vibrant year round community that includes children, please reconsider this project and do not approve it. Instead, please find a way to bring affordable housing to families who want to live in Vail (eg. 2-4 bedroom townhouses and condos in West and East Vail). As we suggested to George, perhaps with development subsidies? At the very least, the council should be developing and sticking with a master plan for West Vail (and East Vail), rather than letting developers with unlimited funds to request zoning changes to add in small parcels and leave neighbors like Buffer Creek next to massive density, with no recourse due to prohibitive costs.

It is important to recognize this has been an ongoing challenge for decades, as you noted below. Indeed, when my husband and I purchased, pricing were rising every year - and so we purchased with retirement in mind - so we would have a place on the bus route and near to stores, we would use as our full-time residence when we retire (we live and work out of state, and rent for now - retirement is still 5-10 years away). If the town is earnestly looking to extend the year round community to families (and keeping schools open), it is very important for the town to also recognize the hotel rooms and 1 bedroom apartments will do nothing in this regard. It is also quite likely the limited number of 2 bedroom apartments would only be used by adult roommates. A better use of the property would be for 2 & 3 bedroom apartments or townhomes. I fail to see how this plan is useful to family minded community development. Could the town offer the developer incentives to build and sell (not rent) only larger (2 bedroom and up) deed -restricted units?

We are a husband and wife, who own a condominium in the Buffer Creek condo building adjacent to the site. When we purchased our condo in 2007, it was at the height of the market, and at the time, the Roost was supposed to be developed into a reasonably sized development of hotel rooms and condos, by Timberline Roost LLC (no deed restrictions). Perhaps the article from the Vail Daily in August 2006 (pasted below) will refresh your memory? 28 condos and 101 hotel rooms, 3 employee housing units, and 169 parking spots. It was apparently scaled back from 129 hotel rooms and 39 condos and its height was reduced, as the planning commission (wisely at the time) said its size did not fit with the neighborhood. When we bought our condo, we were satisfied this plan was reasonable (or we would NOT have purchased). What exactly has changed since then? The neighborhood has not changed. But the plans for this building keep getting bigger and bigger. The 2006 plan evolved into a 176 unit hotel with 2 employee housing units that was approved but is now expired. Which, by the way, we still do not understand why or how the commission thought this more recent size increase was OK. Now the developer wants to develop this property into 170 hotel rooms (an increase of 69 units) and 113 employee "upscale" deed restricted RENTAL units (an increase of 82 units) for Vail's professionals — units that won't even benefit the employees who really need them (those with more modest incomes). Parking has increased by 191 parking 4 spots (from 169 to 360). The current plan (dated November 2, 2016) is clearly still designed to benefit the developer — not Vail's residents. Who's kidding who? Enough already! The first developer made a bad investment, and now the second has done the same. Why must the neighborhood suffer from their bad business decisions? The neighborhood character should be respected and this latest development change should be flatly and emphatically rejected by the planning commission. Why? Here are neighborhood concerns. - Too big. - Too high — NOTE: We recognize the height decreased from the summer 2016 proposal, but we feel the building is still is much too large for the neighborhood. - There may still not be enough parking for the volume of units who will use parking. Although exhaust from the garage is now moved to the east, the volume of fumes from 360 potential cars driving in the garage daily will be significant; has the exhaust and ventilation system been fully vetted and the impact on the environment studied? I believe there may be wildlife, on endangered species lists, in our neighborhood (e.g. bats). - Traffic and unloading issues in the neighborhood; although the access is now moved to the east, we still have concerns about traffic and unloading for the volume of residents and hotel rooms in this project. Impact on the TOV bus routes and capacity. No real benefit to the Vail employees who need reasonable rental units. Add to these neighborhood concerns, the very real concerns for our Buffer Creek building — - Potentially destabilizing our building's foundation with a parking garage that is far too deep into the ground and too close to the property line. - Residents walking their dogs on our property, leaving feces behind — the developer does not appear to have made accommodation for pet walking on their property. Residents parking in our lot. Having to look at a ridiculous monstrosity of a building every day. Please reject this plan. It is unacceptable to us, and should be to the commission if it really cares about the character of West Vail and Vail's residents, as it did ten years ago, in 2006.

We were asked support several local initiatives to help with the problem. Now this is a better solution! The Marriot proposal that includes 100+ employee units sounds like a slam dunk. They look beautiful and sound affordable and are restricted to actual locals. What's not to like? This is totally the way Vail needs to go to get more local housing: Up! There's absolutely NO WAY I would ever support trading, buying or leasing forest land, so up is the way to go. Think Long Island, NY. Please support this creative and practical plan. Good for the Marriott, too, because they may be able to ensure adequate staff that's always able to get to work. I have a million things to do today and rarely take time to comment, but this was just too obvious. Please do the right thing: support this development and encourage similar projects, or don't ask for taxes for housing! Thanks!!

I have reviewed the proposals and feel that the proposed density is way too high for the site. My primary concern is the addtional traffic that will be generated on to the frontage road from such a small site. I do not believe that zoning variances should be given purely to make projects financially viable as this can set a very dangerous precedent that will encourage people to over pay for sites and just lead to more and more speculation on land sales.

I have been very active in the past few years with trying to preserve and grow Vail's rental housing as well as affordable housing. I think it would be wise to take this chance with a developer who is willing to put in extra work -force housing.

I currently reside in Eagle -Vail and would love to live much closer to work, especially in the winter months with closer bus options to the hospital and the mountain. I am currently working towards owning a home in Vail, but for now, long-term renting is okay with me. I would really enjoy having the opportunity to live in a brand new space, with new amenities in a prime location. The Marriott Workforce housing project would be a perfect fit for my career, income and lifestyle. Please approve this project!

As a teacher at Red Sandstone Elementary School and resident of the valley for the last ten years, I know first-hand the challenges associated with finding quality housing at a price that isn't completely out of reach. A huge obstacle our school district has faced is recruiting and retaining quality educators due to the lack of moderately priced housing, especially in Vail. Having an additional 102 rental apartments available (96 of which are deed restricted) will surely help alleviate some of this burden. Thank you so much for considering my perspective, and I hope you choose to approve this project on behalf of ALL of us dedicated workers who help to make Vail such an amazing place to live and work.

It is the Special Development District zoning application deviation from established development standards in the building's height, density, setbacks, site coverage and the retaining walls' heights that I especially have a problem with given this location in small neighborhood communities located on both sides of the valley here in West Vail. It is out of scale to the linear, low -angle, eye -pleasing as -it -is look to the shopping districts along the North Frontage Rd. west and east of Buffehr Creek Rd. I am all for employee housing, 'tenant' housing strikes a sour note. A hotel, "how many stories high" here in West Vail?! What it will do to traffic, night -sky lighting, noice, emissions, shadows causing Meadow Ridge Rd. to ice up in winter. It is unfortunately in the wrong place at the right time and if we are to suffer through this, I recommend it be down -scaled and made to fit into the neighboring communities, adapt to the spirit of our community and be tabled for further review until changes are made that will still work with everyone benefiting in the end. There is a lot at stake here.
