Public comment on any agenda item may be solicited by the Town Council. 1. DRB / PEC Update 1.1. DRB / PEC Update 5 min. Presenter(s): Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager 2. Presentations / Discussion 2.1. Stormwater Update 30 min. Presenter(s): Pete Wadden, Watershed Education Coordinator Background: Stormwater runoff is a major cause of the decline of aquatic systems across the United States. Through the development of the Gore Creek Valley over the past 50-60 years, the land surrounding Gore Creek, once dominated by wetlands, plant roots and loamy soil is now dominated by impervious and paved surfaces. The loss of filtration that was once provided by the natural soils and vegetation has had an inevitable impact on Gore Creek and led to its current status as a 303(d) listed stream. Stormwater runoff is a primary contributor of pollutants to Gore Creek and its tributaries. Based on some of the materials known to have been discharged into storm drains in 2016, there is a clear need to educate the community about the impacts stormwater contaminants have on the creek. 2.2. Comprehensive Open Lands Plan Update 30 min. Presenter(s): Kristen Bertuglia, Environmental Sustainability Manager and Tom Braun, Braun & Associates Action Requested of Council: The Town Council is asked to review the presentation materials, the feedback received from the Community Scoping Sessions, the composition of a Technical Expert Group, and the overall project schedule. The Council is also asked if there are other organizations or experts that should be included in the list of Technical Expert Groups? Background: In December, 2016, the Town authorized an update to the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan (the Plan). The process for updating the Plan involves revisiting the existing Plan to identify initiatives that have been addressed (and those that have not); evaluating via a community engagement process the goals, objectives and initiatives of the existing Plan; and drafting an updated Plan with goals, objectives and initiatives identified during the process to address the community's needs. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Town Council review the presentation materials and community input, and provide feedback on the February 7, 2017 - Page 1 of 20 future direction of the Plan. 2.3. Transportation Impact Fee Review Presenter(s): Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer Action Requested of Council: Review Transportation Improvement projects in more detail and affirm direction of the Transportation Impact Fee Background: TischlerBise has provided an updated Nexus Study and draft fee schedule for the Town's review. The draft fee schedule is based on anticipated future development, the current estimated cost of the capital projects to accommodate future development, and the appropriate proportioned fiscal responsibility. Staff will review in more detail the Transportation Improvement Project List. Staff Recommendation: Affirm direction of the Transportation Impact Fee 2.4. Vail Valley Medical Center South Frontage Road Improvement Plan Presenter(s): Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer Action Requested of Council: Town Council is asked to review the South Frontage Road conceptual design, confirm the timeframe in which the design should be implemented, and discuss how the project should be funded. Background: In conjunction with the adoption of the Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC) Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan; the Town of Vail, the WMC, and the Evergreen collaborated to develop a South Frontage Road Improvement Plan that would accommodate each existing and future access point to the above mentioned properties as well as accommodate projected traffic growth along the South Frontage road. Staff and the development teams are in need of final direction on design, construction timeframe, and funding. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends discussing the design, timeframe, and funding of the project and requesting any additional information that may be required prior to making a final recommendation. The final recommendation will provide direction to staff in our review of the impending development submittals. 45 min. 15 min. 3. Information Update 3.1.

PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to update the Vail Town Council on the current progress of stormwater education, monitoring and infrastructural upgrades and improvements. 11. BACKGROUND Stormwater runoff is a major cause of the decline of aquatic systems across the United States. Through the development of the Gore Creek Valley over the past 50-60 years, the land surrounding Gore Creek, once dominated by wetlands, plant roots and loamy soil is now dominated by impervious and paved surfaces. The loss of filtration that was once provided by the natural soils and vegetation has had an inevitable impact on Gore Creek and led to its current status as a 303(d) listed stream. Stormwater runoff is a primary contributor of pollutants to Gore Creek and its tributaries. Based on some of the materials known to have been discharged into storm drains in 2016, there is a clear need to educate the community about the impacts stormwater contaminants have on the creek. Since it is impractical and infeasible to prevent all pollutants from reaching Vail's stormwater systems, there is a need to accompany any education and outreach campaign with targeted, prioritized upgrades to the town's stormwater filtration infrastructure. Some upgrades have already taken place and several others are planned for 2017. III. Stormwater Education Campaign Based on informal surveys of town employees and community members and on pollutants known to have been dumped or discharged into storm drains in Vail in 2016, it has become clear that many are not aware how storm sewers differ from sanitary sewers and the direct impact that pollutants discharged into storm sewers have on Gore Creek. In order to address this widespread information gap, the environmental team has begun a targeted stormwater education campaign. The campaign seeks to inform members of the community that most storm drains flow directly into Gore Creek without filtration. Many community members seem to be unaware that storm sewers differ from sanitary sewers in that they are unfiltered and flow into Gore Creek without receiving any treatment or filtration. Any drain with an open grate is a storm drain while sanitary sewers are always capped with a manhole cover. The campaign uses clear, simple messaging to elucidate the direct impacts that dumping into storm drains has on local waterways. It also offers information about the proper means to dispose of common contaminants. February 7, 2017 - Page 15 of 2 IV. Stormwater Filtration Upgrades In tandem with the education campaign, the town is investing significant resources in infrastructure upgrades to better filter runoff from roads and other impervious surfaces before the water reaches Gore Creek. The town is in the process of employing several different approaches to filtration depending on what is most appropriate and effective in a given situation. First, the town is restoring riparian and upland habitat to take advantage of natural systems such as soil and roots to filter runoff before it reaches Gore Creek. Bank stabilization projects using native vegetation and efforts to encourage private landowners to restore native vegetation are examples of this approach. Second, the town will continue to install stormwater filters in places where filtration is most needed, feasible and cost-effective. Stormwater filtration systems, contact filters and sand and oil vaults all come at a substantial cost and cannot be installed in every stormwater system in town. Twenty-seven such systems have already been installed in town in places where several storm sewers come together and filtration systems have the highest impact. The town engineers are in the process of identifying other places where advanced stormwater filtration would be most effective and have $500,000 budgeted for stormwater upgrades in 2017. Town engineers also designed and installed an advanced filtration system at the Public Works snow dump in the fall of 2016. Finally, best management practices such as rain gardens, bio-swales and pervious pavement will be deployed in several areas to mimic natural systems and restore some of the watershed's capacity to filter runoff through soils and vegetation. The planting and restoration project at the East Vail interchange and a state grant -funded project at Public Works are both examples of this approach. V. Monitoring In 2015 and 2016, several instances of cross connected sanitary and storm sewers were discovered in the Town of Vail. This means that untreated sewage was being discharged directly into Gore Creek. All identified cross connections have since been addressed and rectified. The environmental team and Eagle River Water and Sanitation District continue to regularly monitor outfalls of concern for E. coli contamination. As directed by the Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan, in 2015, the Town contracted SGM to inspect and map all stormwater infrastructure in town. As part of this process, SGM staff identified stormwater infrastructure that was concerning due to odor, excessive algae or cracked or broken pipes. The result of this process was a comprehensive database and map of the town's stormwater systems. This database has been an invaluable tool in identifying areas of concern and prioritizing stormwater systems that would benefit most from repairs, upgrades or additional filtration. VI. Next Steps In 2017, the environmental team will continue to educate the community about storm drains through advertising, newspaper articles, web content and a summer are installation. Simultaneously, town engineers and landscape architects will be prioritizing locations for advanced storm drain filters and finalizing the details of the East vail Interchange and Public Works stormwater projects. These substantial projects on the part of the town will be invaluable examples to highlight as part of the stormwater education campaign as well as the greater Gore Creek restoration effort.

One of the first steps in the process was to host three (3) Community Scoping Sessions. The purpose of these meetings was to inform the community about the existing plan and to understand what is on the community's mind with regard to the Open Lands Plan. No formal presentations were made. Rather, participants were asked to visit a number of stations, each of which provided information about the existing Plan and Town lands. After viewing these stations participants were asked to respond to a number of prompts, or questions about the use of public lands, the acquisition of land, and trails. These questions were also posted on the Town of Vail website to generate more public input. The Town received 58 written responses and 18 online responses. February 7, 2017 - Page 37 of 2 III. SURVEY QUESTIONS AND COMMUNITY FEEDBACK The 11 survey questions, and a brief summary of the public responses, are as follows: Land Acquisition: • Dating back to the purchase of the Anholtz Ranch in 1973 (that became Ford Park), and the adoption of the Real Estate Transfer Tax in 1979, the Town of Vail has a long history of acquiring land for a variety of public purposes. o Have these efforts benefitted the community? o Should they be continued? o Should the Town continue efforts to implement Recommended Actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plan? Respondents were nearly unanimous in their belief that the Town's previous efforts to acquire land for public purposes have benefited the community. There was mixed opinion regarding the continuation of such practices. While many people support acquiring land for recreational opportunities or open space preservation, there is a noticeable group of respondents who do not believe the Town should acquire land for any sort of development activity. Affordable housing was a predominant response when citing their least favored option for land acquisition. Several people stated their concern that the term "public purposes" is much too broad and should be defined. There were not many responses to the third sub -prompt regarding specific actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plan. Among those responding there was still general support for the Plan, and agreement that it is time for the plan to be updated. • The 1994 Open Land Plan identifies four main reasons for the acquisition of lands — to protect environmentally sensitive lands from development, to establish open spaces and neighborhood buffers, for the development of recreation trails and to provide land for other public uses. o Are these four reasons valid today? o Which of these reasons are most important to you? o Are there other reasons for acquiring lands that the Town should consider? There was nearly unanimous agreement that the first two reasons: "protect environmentally sensitive lands from development" and "to establish open spaces and neighborhood buffers" are still valid today. The responses to "the development of recreation trails" were mixed. Public comments ranged from complete disagreement to full support. Trails are discussed in more detail in later questions. Like the previous item, the responses to "provide land for other public uses" were highly mixed, but tended to be against acquiring land for any public use that promotes development of open space. Affordable housing was the most common objection to the acquisition of lands for public use. While many people expressed their belief that affordable housing is not a public use, there were others who argued for the acquisition of open space for affordable housing. A recurring response in regards to other reasons for the Town to acquire lands was for wildlife and wildlife corridor protection. Others cited acquiring land for a community / recreation center and there was a lot of support for acquiring land for a disc golf course. Town of Vail Page 2 February 7, 2017 - Page 38 of 2 • Recommended Actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plan focused on the acquisition of vacant, privately -owned land. The Town has also acquired developed lands as well, the old Wendy's site, the Arose "A frame" and Timber Ridge to name a few. In all instances these lands were re -purposed with new development. Should the Town consider the acquisition of developed, privately -owned land in order to further implement all the goals of this Plan? o If yes, what specific purposes do you feel would justify the purchase of developed land? The responses to this question ran from strong anti -acquisition sentiment to full support of more new land for development. While there were opinions at each end of the spectrum, many can be categorized as cautiously in favor as long as any development is carefully considered, open to public discussion and environmental integrity is maintained. Comments included support of public-private partnerships for housing and a belief that affordable housing can best be acquired through the redevelopment of existing properties rather than through conversion of open space. • Is it appropriate for the Town to consider the acquisition of USFS or other lands outside of the existing Town boundary in order to further implement the goals of this Plan? If not, why? If so, under what conditions or parameters might this be appropriate? The public comments were nearly unanimous in their opposition to the acquisition of USFS lands outside of the existing Town boundary. Those who did support the acquisition of the USFS lands were mostly in favor of the Town obtaining the USFS lands and then preserving it as undevelopable open space. Trails: • The Town has an existing network of paved and "soft -surface" trails throughout the Town that accommodates a variety of users.... from hikers, to walkers, road bikers, mountain bikers, in-line skaters and babies in strollers. o How do you use the Town's trails and paths? o Do you see trails providing a benefit to the community? If so, how? o What steps could be taken to improve the Town's existing trail system? Most respondents were at least moderate users of the Town's trails and paths. While some stated that they just use trails for walking, many others are multi -use trail users that hike, bike, and even use them to commute to work. Respondents were unanimous that trails provide a benefit to the community. Benefits cited were physical and mental health, tourist amenities and economic impact, safety, mobility, connection to the outdoors, and promoting a healthy mountain lifestyle for the Town. There were many suggestions to improve the Town's existing trail system, but one of the most frequent suggestions is for better signage along the trails. Specific issues mentioned included the amount of unofficial "social trails" that branch off and cause confusion and a lack of information as to the time, distance, and direction to destinations. Town of Vail Page 3 February 7, 2017 - Page 39 of 2 Another common theme among the suggestions to improve the existing trail system was the conflict between walkers and bicyclists. Many trail walkers expressed their concern about bicyclist etiquette. Although the question asked specifically about the existing trail system, and not future trails, many respondents included such suggestions. As would be expected, comments ranged from a belief that the existing trails are sufficient and no new trails are needed to a belief that there should be more trails, especially more connections between existing trails. There were multiple comments from trail advocates that the Town needs more beginner level (flatter) trails. • The 1994 Open Lands Plan envisioned the concept of a trail system between neighborhoods "similar to trails found in the Alps where interconnected trails allow hikers to move around and to mountain villages. " with trailheads in each neighborhood. Notwithstanding the challenges of implementing such a concept (land ownership, environmental impacts, cost, etc.), what do you think of this idea? Responses to this question leaned to supporting this idea and expressed belief that the Town is already on its way to achieving such a goal. Some respondents like the idea, but expressed concern that the cultural differences between Europe and Vail may be too significant for the idea to be fully applicable to the Town. Others were cautiously in favor of such an idea provided there was sufficient environmental and wildlife protection. Finally, there was also a group of respondents that oppose the idea as unnecessary. • Trails provide both recreational opportunities and the ability for individuals to access and enjoy the Town's open lands and adjoining USFS lands. However, new trails may have the potential to create adverse site impacts and introducing human activity may impact wildlife habitats. Balancing these factors is important when considering the development of new trails. o What factors are important to you (and why) when thinking about the potential development of new trails in Vail? Environmental and wildlife impacts were the most common responses as the factors most important to consider when thinking about the development of new trails in Town. Of those who cited such factors, some specifically stated their belief that it is possible for trails to be developed with minimal impact to the environment or wildlife. Similar to the previous questions, there is still a group of respondents who oppose the development of any new trails. Use of Town Lands: • The Town has used its land to develop a variety of public facilities such as the town hall, library, visitor and transportation centers, parking structures, community rooms, parks, the gymnastic center, the golf course, and a number of housing developments. o How do you feel about the town's existing facilities? o Are there new facilities that you think could be beneficial to the community? o How important is it for the Town to reserve land for future, unforeseen uses or needs? Town of Vail Page 4 February 7, 2017 - Page 40 of 2 The Town's existing facilities were well received in public comments. No one expressed displeasure with the existing facilities and the most critical comments ranged from "adequate" to "satisfied." There were many suggestions for new facilities, the most common being a community / recreation center, disc golf course, or swimming pool. Other suggestions for new facilities included: employee housing, small (local) performing arts center, a new Town Hall, public shower facility, additional overflow parking, and convention center. Many of the respondents did not directly address the third prompt regarding the importance of reserving land for future, unforeseen uses or needs, but those who did generally agreed that it is very important for the Town to do so. A common theme was the belief that the Town will become denser and it is important to preserve open space now. • Creating, providing and retaining high quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents is one of the Town's major goals and regularly tops the list of priorities in the Community Survey. The 1994 Open Lands Plan advocated the use of town land and the acquisition of new lands to be used for housing." o Should housing initiatives be addressed in the updated Open Lands Plan and if so, how? One of the few questions with quantifiable responses, 38% of respondents believed housing initiatives should be addressed in the update. 41% did not believe housing initiatives should be addressed in the update, and the remaining 21 % either did not respond or were unclear in their statement regarding housing initiatives. It is worth noting that this question probably prompted the most emotional responses. Of those opposing the inclusion of housing initiatives within the update, a primary reason was the belief that all of the open lands were intended to be forever open. Another reason people oppose housing initiatives in the plan is the belief that this is an issue that cannot be solved by the Town. Many respondents cited their belief that it is the responsibility of local employers to provide more housing. Other opponents believe that housing development should occur down valley. Of those who support the inclusion of housing initiatives, a common theme was that their support is limited based on the context of the proposed housing. • Over the past few years the Town has implemented significant measures to improve the aquatic health of Gore Creek. Should the Open Lands Plan target the acquisition of land or easements specifically for the purpose of enhancing the health of Gore Creek? o Are there specific measures in this regard you would support? o What's important to you? The most agreed upon question, the public comments unanimously supported the efforts, including the acquisition of land easements, to enhance the health of Gore Creek. Commenters described Gore Creek in such terms as, "a vital cherished asset," "critical to energy of town," and "our spinal cord." Suggestion to improve the health of Gore Creek included: enforcement of existing regulations regarding the use of lawn chemicals and other pollutants, returning the bank of Gore Creek to natural vegetation, Town of Vail Page 5 February 7, 2017 - Page 41 of 2 and form public-private partnerships with existing property owners to mitigate negative impacts. • The development of Town land for housing or other public uses and the preservation of Town land for open space preservation can at times be conflicting goals and may lead to competing land use decisions. o What are the trade-offs for how the Open Lands Plan addresses these types of consideration? o Can the Open Land Plan find a balance between these potentially competing objectives? Similar to the other questions that referenced housing or "other public uses," the public comments in regards to this question ranged along the entire spectrum. Nearly half of the total respondents did not reply to this question, or provided an unrelated statement. Of those directly responding to the question, 14 believe there can be a balance between the potentially competing objectives. 28 of the respondents do not believe a balance can be found and strictly oppose housing or other public uses. Of those respondents opposing housing, they commonly cited down valley as their preferred location for affordable housing and/or their belief that local employers should be responsible for housing. Like the previous question, opinions tended to be very strong. IV. NEXT STEPS The next step in the planning process is to conduct further evaluation of the goals, objectives, and the incomplete recommended actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plans in comparison to the input obtained through the Community Scoping Sessions. An analysis of all Town -owned lands and the formation of a Technical Expert Group are also ongoing. The Technical Expert Group is currently proposed to include the following organizations: • Vail Recreation District • Vail Resorts • Eagle River Water and Sanitation District • U.S. Forest Service • Colorado Parks and Wildlife • Colorado Department of Transportation • Eagle Valley Land Trust • Eagle River Watershed Council • Eagle County Open Space • Eagle County Trails Does the Town Council wish to include other organizations within this list of technical experts? The first Community Meeting where this information will be presented back to the public is scheduled for February 22, 2017 in the Grand View Room at Lionshead. After the first Community Meeting, another update on the planning process will be presented to Town Council, currently scheduled for March 7, 2017.

Have these efforts benefitted the community? b. Should they be continued? c. Should the Town continue efforts to implement Recommended Actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plan? Responses 1. "The Town has done well acquiring land but at this point with so little land left in Town I think remaining parcels should remain in private hands. Zoning and deed restricting should be considered rather than public purchase. The exception would be parcels near Gore Creek and tributaries that impact the creek's health." 2. "The transfer tax seems to have given the Town a blank check that makes it so they are not judicious in how the spend public funds. The current budget is opaque and not clearly showing how public funds are spent outside of high level with no eye towards the value of the projects undertaken." 3. "a.) Yes. b.) Open lands - yes. Conversion of open lands to something else - no." 4. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Yes." 5. "a.) Yes, they have greatly benefitted the community. b.) Yes, they should be continued. c.) Not sure what `Recommended Actions' includes but all open space should remain such and more acquired." 6. No response. 7. "Yes." 8. No response. 9. No response sheet. 10. No response sheet. 11.

"Yes, the efforts have been a big benefit. As long as the efforts support a public purpose (recreational or aesthetic), they should continue." 19. "The implementation of the RETT was good in its time to acquire open space. It appears all the open space has been acquired. The RETT was never intended to use for improvements to open space. Perhaps time to retire the RETT!!" 20. No response sheet. 21. No response sheet. 22. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes." 23. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Yes but there needs to be public input regarding these recommended actions. Have they changed? For example: the Vail Trail extension was originally described as a pedestrian path but it was abandoned because of topography. How did it come back as a mountain bike proposal with no input?" 24. "RETT acquired lands need to stay restricted to 'open space, recreation, and similar uses." 25. "a.) Yes! b.) Yes! c.) Yes! We certainly must maintain environmentally sensitive areas and wildlife corridors - as there are so few now!!! Animals need access to water." 26. "a.) Yes. b.) Depends on public purpose. c.) Yes, in particular - finish trail from Golden Peak to East Vail." JANUARY 4, 2017 27. "a.) Yes, look at the facilities that have been done! b.) Yes, continue to look at areas for facilities." 28.

Use space for affordable multi zoned development or community benefit." 33. No response. 34. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Continue acquiring and maintaining open space." 35. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Not knowledgeable enough to answer." 36. "a.) Yes, the community has benefitted from the acquisition and preservation of land. b.) I believe the use of RETT should be continued for these purposes." 37. No response. 38. "a.) Yes. b.) Only within the 1994 Plan. c.) The 1994 Plan was OIC." 39. "a.) Yes, initially it was very beneficial but things have changed dramatically. Ford Park has morphed into a very upscale, sophisticated, often expensive venue. Tighter parameters are needed as interpret our future `needs' and what we are doing with RETT." 40. "a.) Mostly yes. b.) To be determined. c.) After 22 years shouldn't they either all be implemented by now, or considered outdated and need to be revisited?" 41. "Stop acquiring land for public or private housing." 42. No response. 77. "a.) These efforts not only benefitted the community, they gave life blood to the community. b.) They should be continued and c.) the Town should continue to implement the 1994 Open Lands Plan." 43.

Yes, Ford Park is a wonderful amenity to the community and using open space for more recreation. b.) Especially disc golf course would be a great asset to the town." 47. No response. 48. No response. 49. "a.) Yes, it has been a benefit. These places are great for the community to get together. c.) A disc golf course would make a great addition." 50. "b.) I agree that they should be continued. I believe Ford Park is underutilized." 51. "a.) Yes. b.) Carefully. c.) Do not know that plan." 52. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Yes." 53. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Yes, within reason and any plans should always be made available to the public." 54. "Yes, we must keep open space as a priority." 55• "b.) Yes." 56. "The ownership and stewardship of the land is extremely important. b.) Yes, they should be continued." 57. "a.) I think these efforts have benefitted the community and b.) should be continued." 58. "a.) Yes. b.) Yes. c.) Yes." 59. No response. 6o. "a.) Of course. RETT is for keeping open spaces only. We should buy parcels in town in compatible locations with development rights for housing. We can not annex more land because we have exceeded our carrying capacity both environmentally and economically. Work with county with Vail as leader to look into Dowd Junction or similar parcel for a rental housing `village / complex.' 6i. No response. 62. No response sheet. February 7, 2017 - Page 60 of 2 81. "a.) Yes b.) RETT taxes should not used in violation of original intent. c.) Yes continue to retain open space for present and future citizens." WEB SURVEY RESPONSES 63. "Yes, except for the provision, "provide land for other public uses". That is MUCH too broad!" 64. "Yes. Yes. Yes." 65. No response. 66. "Yes, these efforts have and should continue to better the valley." 67. No response. 68. "Yes to all." 69. "Yes theyve benefited, and more can still be done" 70. No response. 71. "Yes and a disc golf course would really set it off' 72. "I think these efforts have benefited the community. It is important, especially with the high land values in Vail, that the government acquires land for things deemed important to the community or else they will likely not become reality." 73. "Yes, the se purchases have benefited all of us." 74. "YES„ 75. "Yes to all. Having lived in Vail since 1970, I can see the results of our careful stewardship of open lands within the Town." 76. "Yes, the have made for some excellent open space. The recommendations of 1994 remain relevant today. Perhaps more so than ever." 78. "a.) Yes the actions of purchasing land has benefited the community, and b.) the Town should continue to do so, especially for the purpose of open space preservation and environmental concerns." 79. "a.) Yes, these spaces are a great asset to the community." February 7, 2017 - Page 61 of 2 80. "a.) Yes, these efforts have benefitted the community. Now few parcels are left & these are of little interest to developers or others profit -oriented, reducing the need for TOV use of funds to purchase them. b.) However, if any offer public housing sites or watershed protection, TOV should buy them. c.) I have seen no compelling other '94 recommendations still undone." PROMPT 2: The 1994 Open Land Plan identifies four main reasons for the acquisition of lands - to protect environmentally sensitive lands from development, to establish open spaces and neighborhood buffers, for the development of recreation trails and to provide land for other public uses. a. Are these four reason valid today? b. Which of these reasons are most important to you? c. Are there other reasons for acquiring lands that the Town should consider? Responses 1. "I believe protecting environmentally sensitive lands should be the top priority. I do not believe the other uses are still valid." 2. "It does not seem that the plan conforms to any of these concepts except public uses. The Town must have a plan for what it wants to accomplish and hold this up to that. Is it to protect sensitive areas, then how'd you measure that?" 3. "a.) Yes. b.) 1, 2, and 3. c.) `Other public uses' is an open-ended slippery slope. Employee housing is not a `public use.' Expanding development sites into open space is not a `public use.'" 4. "a.) Yes. b.) Other public uses, specifically housing. c.) Housing." 5. "The first three reasons are very positive. `Provide land for other public uses' what does that mean? If it means converting open space and public parks to developed areas that would be a travesty!" 6. No response. 7. "Protect environmentally sensitive lands from development!" 8. No response. 9.

No response sheet. 17. No response sheet. i8. "Protecting environmentally sensitive areas is important. Using public lands for housing is not!" 19. "Establish open spaces and neighborhood buffers. RETT should be retired if all the open space and neighborhood buffers have been acquired. Town of Vail should commit to put all open space in conservation easements to protect the land in perpetuity!" 20. No response sheet. 21. No response sheet. 22. "The number one priority should remain protecting environmentally sensitive lands and to establish open spaces! Further development of recreational trails should be considered only after serious consideration, public input, and decisions as to "needs" vs. "wants." Please consider Vail resident input as a priority to other Eagle County residents and activists." 23. "a.) Yes. b.) #i Protecting sensitive lands from development. c.) Strong consideration should be given to topography, rock fall, etc. before moving forward. Also, historical significance such as the Vail Trail and preserving areas for walking without the impact of mountain biking. In conclusion, it is perfectly acceptable to acquire land for just open space - no trail development, no buildings - and leave trails like the Vail Trail alone. Pushing the trail further east is unnecessary as there is already a paved bike path." 24. "Yes. With more development over time, the open lands have become even more desirable." 25. "a.) Yes. b.) One and two. c.) Acquiring land in Eagle County is a balanced need through all communities. We must not become an urban environment just for the sake of housing. We will lose what we now have beauty - scenery - greenery - atmosphere." February 7, 2017 - Page 63 of 2 26. "a.) Yes. b.) One 4 Three. c.) No, purchasing land for public use must be approach extraordinarily carefully. Purchasing land for public housing in areas that are not adjacent to public transit and require reliance on cars is not an appropriate public use." JANUARY 4, 2017 27. "a.) Yes. b.) Trails benefit everyone. c.) The Town should acquire any land it can for open space / parks / employee housing." 28. "a.) Yes. b.) All are important. c.) No." 29. "Public parking under the mountain." 30. "a.) No... "other" its to open ended. b.) Protect recreation and buffers. c.) No, but a missing bullet: Are these privately owned vacant lands that should be purchased?... Yes, 1602 Matterhorn Circle to complete the system* of wildlife corridor from Gore Creek to the `woods."' 31. "a.) Yes, very valid and even more important these days. Vail is a much different place compared to 1994." 32. "To connect and encourage non -motorized or mass transit." 33. "a.) Yes. b.) Using buffers as connections." 34. "a.) Sure. b.) All. c.) Public use - as this fire station. Library branch with parking." 35. "a.) Yes. b.) All of them. c.) Can't answer." 36. "a.) Yes. b.) Protecting environmentally sensitive lands." 37. "a.) Yes. b.) All. c.) No." 38. "a.) Yes. b.) Neighborhood buffers 4 open space. c.) No." 39. "a.) The first two are still valid. Much has changed since 1994 but protecting environmentally sensitive lands from development (and that includes trail building) is still the most important." 40. "a.) Reasons 1 and 2 - valid; enough trails already; no more land for public use. b.) 1 and 2. c.) No." February 7, 2017 - Page 64 of 2 41. "The first 3 reasons are valid... but 'for other public uses' should not include housing... private or public." 42. "At this point I believe the first 2 reasons above are even more important now than in 1994." 77. "a.) Yes, yes, yes - these 4 reasons are valid today! b.) Protecting environmentally sensitive lands is most important to me." JANUARY 19, 2017 43. No response sheet 44. No response. 45. No response. 46. "a.) Yes. b.) Recreation. c.) Affordable housing." 47. "'Maintaining wildlife corridors' should almost be a fifth reason, its so important! For example, on the middle and upper benches of Donovan Park, we have foxes, deer, moose, and bobcat. The town should purchase the vacant lot 1602 (?) to complete the corridor to the river." 48. "Housing is not a public use." 49. "a.) Yes. b.) Establish open spaces. c.) Recreational activities like disc golf." 5o. "a.) Yes. c.) To make affordable housing for the people that live and work here. As someone who works for a living housing is not even close to affordable. 51. "a.) Yes, I would say so. c.) You do not mention the value of open land to wildlife - we still do have deer, moose, foxes, all kinds of birds." 52. "a.) I think these reasons are still valid. c.) Like I said before I would like to see the town develop a parcel of land to be used for disc golf. As I stated before the town need a recreation center that would focus primarily on a town pool." 53. "a.) Yes. b.) To keep open space and not get too high density buildings. c.) To find a way to provide efficient parking to get cars off the frontage roads." 54. "Yes, the has to be very carefully aproch." 55• "b.) The first three." February 7, 2017 - Page 65 of 2 56. "b.) The most important to me are first two - to protect sensitive land and establish open spaces. 57. "a.) Yes. b.) Protecting the environment and development of recreation and land for public use." 58. "a.) Yes. b.) Recreation. c.) Developing parks / courses for younger crowds." 59. "Usage responsibly can make a difference, posting improved signage to make policies for preservation known would go a long way." 6o. "Not about vacant lands. a.) It is clear that the plan is for open lands not `public uses' that require dense development such as housing. b.) Protect land from development which at this point means overdevelopment in Vail. RETT was passed in large part to protect Vail from over development. Now is not the time to step away from that. c.) Taking better environmental care of town lands and streams negates the need to buy land to ' cool streams.' Buying land with development rights is too expensive." 6i. No response. 62. No response sheet. 8i. "a.) Yes - all with exception of housing b.) Open Space" WEB SURVEY RESPONSES 63. "Yes, the 4 reasons are valid, EXCEPT for the provision, "provide land for other public uses". That is MUCH too broad! It could cover almost anything, including "housing" Definitely opposed to using open space for housing!!" 64. "a.) Yes to protect sensitive lands from development. No." 65. "Those reasons are very valid and expanding recreation (like a new disc golf course) are worthy goals." 66. "These reasons are certainly valuable today. Protecting the land and keeping places to recreate are most important to me." 67. No response. 68. "Reasons are valid, most important to me is the ability to provide land for recreational activities" 69. "Environmental concerns are always the main issue, such as using the land for say, a disc golf course, instead of building on it" February 7, 2017 - Page 66 of 2 70. No response. 71. "There are and alot of people would love to see a disc golf course put up in the area" 72. "These four reasons are still valid today. For me, the most important reason is to protect environmentally sensitive land from development. There is both a purely environmental and an economic reason for maintaining environmentally sensitive open space. The environmental reason is a moral reason in that if we destroy the environment around us with destroy the lives of the many plants and animals that live here. In economic terms, much of Vail's economy is based on tourism that is derived from the natural environment that surrounds the town. This includes recreational activities such as skiing or hiking; and even just the visual beauty of the location of the Town. Damaging the surrounding environment could have devastating consequences on the local economy." 73. "Please protect environmentally sensitive lands! Please do not develop the Vail Trail!" 74. "Yes, recreation." 75. "Open space buffers and recreational opportunities." 76. "Yes, they are still valid. Neighborhood buffers/sensitive land. No other reasons from and open lands standpoint. Other reasons (affordable housing) would not be an open lands use." 78. "b.) To protect environmentally sensitive lands from development of any kind is my primary concern." 79. No response. 80. "c.) Workforce housing should be an added objective. a.) The others are still valid ones, but conversion of walking trails to mountain bike ones is not acceptable. If new mountain bike trails are built they should also not be in environmentally sensitive area. Build them elsewhere. PROMPT 3: Recommended Actions from the 1994 Open Lands Plan focused on the acquisition of vacant, privately -owned land. The Town has also acquired developed lands as well, the old Wendy's site, the Arose "A frame" and Timber Ridge to name a few. In all instances these lands were re - purposed with new development. Should the Town consider the acquisition of developed, privately -owned land in order to further implement all the goals of this Plan? February 7, 2017 - Page 67 of 2 • If yes, what specific purposes do you feel would justify the purchase of developed land? Responses 1. "I can not think of a reason to acquire private land except for environmental concerns." 2. No response. 3. No response. 4. "Yes. Housing." 5. "Yes - acquire developed land is perfect.

The new Marriott proposal does not. It is too big and doesn't fit in the neighborhood." 19. "If the Town of Vail has a specific need and the right parcel is available, buy it for that need. I don't think the Town of Vail can solve all its affordable housing problems - 1,000 units does not seem possible!!" February 7, 2017 - Page 68 of 2 20. No response sheet. 21. No response sheet. 22. "Yes. Employee housing but only with a public/private partnership. The Town of Vail cannot solve this problem on its own. For any use please utilize existing developed parcels for acquisition." 23. "Employee housing with public / private partnerships." 24. No response. 25. "Not if we sacrifice the beauty of our community?!!!! Intense crowded housing should be developed down valley where there is flat space to do it." 26. "Purchasing developed property for redevelopment for affordable housing is the most appropriate strategy for adding additional workforce housing. Ideally this effort would be done in a JV with employers in town." JANUARY 4, 2017 27. "I feel that the Town, along with other municipalities to acquire land outside of Town boundaries to address the housing issue the space in Avon between City Market and Wal- Mart is prime." 28. "With very careful planning and purpose. Question Feasibility Study on numbers 8, 9, and 10. That soil is subject to flow or slide in torrential rain as global warming changes our weather patterns!!" 29. "Housing to own for professional. Who seem to leave the valley for better living." 3o. "Purchase developed land for the "other" that should be removed as one of four reasons for land acquisition." 31. "Yes, affordable housing, community connection trail, open space parks." 32. "Dorm / apartment style housing, EC mass transit (i.e. BRT)." 33. "Yes." 34. "Building in west Vail above Highland Meadows is a stretch environmentally, steepness of slope, access." 35. "Yes, depends on site and proposed use." February 7, 2017 - Page 69 of 2 36. "Yes - redevelopment for public use such as a rec-center, access to trailheads / parking." 37. "For the reasons expressed above." 38. "Depends where the land is located and how it would fit into the neighborhood. Property along I -7o can be used for housing or commercial." 39. "Yes, it makes more sense to re -develop and re -purpose land rather than going after virgin land." 4o. "No!! Bottom line - purpose of all this is for `employee housing.' What is the status of Timber Ridge? There is more than enough area to accommodate more employee housing here than you could ever need without adversely affecting anyone." 41. No response. 42. No response. 77. "I think the purchase of the old Wendy's site for a fire department facility was good and Timber Ridge very necessary for close to Vail housing. I wish the Town could acquire the former "Roost" property. JANUARY 19, 2017 43. No response. 44. "Yes - affordable housing or recreation facilities." 45. "Simple, they arn't making open lands anymore! Further, actually purchasing land will reduce the `mission creep' of using RETT funds for other purposes." 46. "Don't sell the Timber Ridge redevelopment part at half price." 47. "Affordable housing." 48. "Giving the use of land to people like Peter ICnoble defeats the purpose of `affordable housing.' 49.

"Yes, employee housing in that area." 54. "Possibly, if such land were ideally located and ideally situated for the purpose (e.g. employee housing) then it might make sense." 55. "Yes, affordable housing." 56. "Yes. Giving more opportunities to the population to use land for recreation." 57. "Yes, housing prices, good employees." 58.

"Yes and i feel a disc golf course would justify these purchases" 72. "Yes, though I think it is important that each parcel is rigorously evaluated for its intended purpose. For example, it likely does not make sense to acquire a parcel way up on Buffehr Creek Road for a dense redevelopment of employee housing. Two purposes I think would be justified would be employee housing and recreational spaces (e.g., park space). These two purposes would fit in a already developed neighborhood." 73. "Affordable housing" 74. "Yes, housing" 75. "Yes, being aware of the already dense development of our valley with dedication to the original 1994 tenets." 76.

PROMPT 4: Is it appropriate for the Town to consider the acquisition of USFS or other lands outside of the existing Town boundary in order to further implement the goals of this Plan? If not, why? If so, under what conditions or parameters might this be appropriate? Responses 1. "I would support this initiative if the intention was to then transfer it to private owners. The private sale should stipulate the land is used for projects that align with the Town's goals, i.e. housing." 2. "The Town must balance the acquisition and maintenance costs against the increase in revenue. All actions should result in an increase in annual collections." February 7, 2017 - Page 72 of 2 3.

No response sheet. 21. No response sheet. 22. "No - the Gore Valley is over -developed crowded and cannot support further land acquisition for development (see comment above)." February 7, 2017 - Page 73 of 2 23. "No - it does not make economic sense to spend huge amounts of money on land to develop employee housing in Vail. And it certainly does not make sense to then make this housing available to all county employees. Vail Resorts needs a more active role as do individual business owners and homeowners with homes larger than 4,000 square feet (lock off housing). 24. "Keep forest service land open. No additional development. No purchase of forest service land." 25. "I really don't know - this needs to be a very thoughtful decision - it will impact Vail forever." 26. "The Town 94 Open Land Plan did not anticipate the potential use of acquired land for affordable housing. As per its title 'Open Lands Plan' its purpose are clearly stated in its four main reasons. Other public uses is an ambiguous term which should be defined during this update process." JANUARY 4,2017 27. "If the Forest Service wants to `unload' a property that is beneficial to the Town of Vail then yes buy it." 28. "I am not sure. This could be a questionable precedent for our beautiful forest lands." 29. "Housing." 3o. "Simple. Purchase the land to ensure they are not sold off by the USFS in the future! The goals are: protect, recreation and buffer!" 31. Appropriate for trails, affordable housing, preserved open space and park open space as long as not negatively impacting wildlife and environment." 32. "Beginner hiking/biking, connections and TH access, and housing, housing, housing." 33. "Yes." 34. "It's already open space. Why develop it? Why buy it? Town of Vail should make it easier for private developers to build housing." 35. "Not knowledgeable enough to answer." 36. "No, I do not support this. This would impact homeowners who bought their property with the expectation of USFS land / open space adjacent to them and / or to preserve view corridors." February 7, 2017 - Page 74 of 2 37. "Spend Town resources to implement Open Lands Plan cited above." 38. "No not for housing - for open space and buffer zones yes. Isn't our Town big enough? We don't want to live in a city." 39. "Absolutely not. The land is too expensive. And of the parcels, near the Vail Mountain School, which is considered desirable, is the winter and spring home of hundreds of Big Horn sheep. Leave the USFS land alone." 40. "No; also no more land swaps within Town boundaries. Town should not be in the real estate business!!

"Please... no acquisition of USFS or other lands for housing... private or public." 42. "Not! My sense is in doing so you are opening up Pandora's box to do 'more and more' - more land in Vail that could face pressures in the future to be developed. How much more can we reasonably expect to squeeze into this valley? How many more people to accommodate? Finally dislodge all of our wildlife? We do not need to build `things' on all of our 'open land.' 77.

We walk the trail along Gore Creek to exercise our dog, allow him to swim in Gore Creek. We hike the North Trail often, we hike the Davos Road often. My wife bikes February 7, 2017 - Page 79 of 2 into Town to ride Vail Mountain and also the North Trail, and some of middle. c.) Extending the North Trail out to East Vail would be very beneficial." 28. "If you are going to have a trail system, the following will be needed. # Noxious weed program. # Parking for access to trailheads. # Maintenance ongoing: prevent erosion, clean fallen or dead trees, safety construction visible for hikers - bikers, keep paths clear of fallen rocks." 29. "Leave trails in natural state while maintaining safety - cut snags, falling logs. Great effort by `Science School' to organize outdoor hiking. Open an office in Vail Village for hiking and climbing." 30. No response. 31. "a.) I use them to commute for work and errands. I also use them for recreation and exercise. b.) I believe they are a huge benefit for the community and visitors to share and recreate. c.) Add connecting and shorter / easier / beginner soft surface trails. Current trails are intermediate / advanced." 32. "a.) I use trails to commute to work, run, walk, bike for fun, both mountain and road and cruiser. b.) Trails connect communities, provide recreation opportunities, and make healthy active communities tied to nature. c.) The Town's trails are very disconnected , and riddled with unsustainable social trails that could be made into valuable Town assets. How does a guest know about the Bighorn or Vail Trail? They are unofficial, not cared for. Connectivity would reduce parking problems , and encourage use." 33. "a.) Morning dog walks, afternoon rides. Using the paths and trails to get from place to place. b.) Trails create community. They allow people to access nature. They also concentrate the impact humans have on nature. c.) More connectivity between neighborhoods. Flatter trails for young and older users." 34. No response. 35. "a.) Walking, biking. b.) Tremendous benefit to the community. Promotes tourism and healthy Colorado lifestyle." 36. "a.) I use the trails for casual exercise (walking), mountain biking, and hiking. Also, for the transportation from Avon to Vail (biking) in the summer. c.) I support a system of mixed use trails that loop around the valley on north and south side of highway without much elevation gain. This would be in addition to the paved bike paths that currently exist." 37. No response. 38. "a.) Hiking, biking. b.) Yes - recreation visitors and locals. c.) ?" February 7, 2017 - Page 80 of 2 39. "a.) I walk, hike, run and road and mountain bike. b.) The trails offer respite, an opportunity for interaction with nature, exercise and confirmation of why I live in the mountains. c.) We do not need more trails in the Vail Valley. We need more trail maintenance and education so residents and guests feel a sense of ownership and responsibility. This project launched last summer thru the USFS and has been widely acclaimed. Let's keep our momentum and focus in this area." 4o. "a.) All of the above, plus jogging. b.) Yes; obvious. c.) Fine as is!" 41. "a.) Hiking, biking. b.) Yes. c.) It is good the way it is..." 42. "a.) I use the paved trails for hiking, biking, and running. Soft surface for hiking, trail running, and winter use (micro -spikes / snowshoes). b.) A benefit for certain by providing alternative activities / lifestyle for guests and residents. c.) The implementation of any new trails, or `improving' existing trails should be considered only after carefully judging whether they meet the `needs' of the community, in general, or `wants' of a small segment of `stakeholders' (i.e. mountain bikers). 77. "a.) I walk the Buffehr Creek trail before work almost every morning. When I have company in the winter, we ski on the track set on the golf course. The path from the parking garage to the Betty Ford Gardens is also a delight. b.) The trails are a foundation for the forming of our community. They are a place to meet and form connections."

The bare / obvious first step is to require the rental companies to have bells (_ $15) on bikes. Then of course signage highlighting: (1) Announce your presence and (2) Use your bell." 48. No response. 49. "c.) Sunburst Road should not be a main bike path. This is dangerous when tourists are all over the place. Too many people speed on this road which makes it dangerous." February 7, 2017 - Page 81 of 2 50. "a.) I use the paths to walk to work every day. c.) More trails like the north trail system." 51. "a.) I enjoy the bike trails for hiking into town - b.) I only wish - when trails are shared by bikes and walkers, that bikers would have bells or voice warning like we do when skiing - 'on your left - on your right.' It is very startling to have a bike overtake one without warning." 52. "a.) I use the town trail system and appreciate the towns commitment to providing these area. b.) Over the years a lot of the areas. c.) I don't have an opinion on how to improve them but I do think the direction the town has taken is good." 53. "a.) Hiking, walking. b.) Yes, for exercise and be in the open air. c.) Signage of trails showing distance to destination and time allowed and difficulty - benches." 54. "a.) Yes I do walk trails. c.) To improve Town of Vail trails, need sitting and resting places - better signage with distances and time and difficulties." 55. "a.) I se the trails for biking, up and down the valley. I regularly ride from East Vail to the Village in lieu of driving - b.) that's a great benefit. c.) In the summer the East Vail trail gets very crowded with walkers, creating serious conflicts with bikers. Is it possible to revise the trail to separate walkers and bikers?" 56. "a.) I use the trails for hiking, show -shoeing, road biking. b.) Yes, the trails are an important feature - a big part of the reason we live here. c.) I use the Vail Trail and hope that it can be preserved as is, without improvements. Improvements would change its unique nature as a quiet, special place." 57. "a.) I use the network of paved trails on almost a daily basis. I ride my bike to work in the summer from East Vail to Lionshead. Also I walk the bike path year around while fly fishing Gore Creek. I love the path system! c.) The only complaint that I have would be aggressive road bikers. The paths are full of families, babies, dogs and children and some of the road bikers are disrespectful and dangerous." 58. "a.) Normal travel. b.) Providing healthy lifestyle by being available. c.) N/A." 59. No response. 6o. "a.) Walking. b.) Another amenity but limits. c.) Teach bike etiquette to address conflicts. Bikers using bikes as transportation should be on the frontage roads' shoulders as designated - not where walkers and casual bikers are. `Connecting neighborhoods' as is used for the North Trail is not a valid argument. It connects nothing and is a hiking / biking ? trail. Neighborhood trails are on the valley floor or in neighborhoods and do not require a day pack or closing to protect wildlife. No trails on hillsides should be visible cuts especially on south side. Trails should conform to February 7, 2017 - Page 82 of 2 natural contours - not modify natural landscapes. Trails down valley have longer seasons and more terrain for a multitude of trails - especially for bikers." 6i. "c.) Use trails that are existing, as much as possible. Leave the Vail Trail (the one that goes from Northwoods Condos to the Memorial Park) as it is. Do not widen and make into a mountain bike trail. It has always been a quiet jewel of a trail especially for older hikers and families with young children. Mountain bikers change the aesthetics of this lovely horizontal (easy) trail." 62. No response sheet. 8i. "a.) Walking into Vail. c.) Road bikers should be encouraged to use Frontage Road as number of families, young children and visitors use these trails on daily bases. Thank you to Town of Vail for keeping these areas shoved and well maintained." WEB SURVEY RESPONSES 63. "a.) Use: Hiking and walking b.) Benefit: Yes. c.) Added aesthetics and recreation options. 64. "Walk & Bike That why we live here more soft surface flat trails" 65. No response. 66. "I like to mountain bike and road bike pretty evenly so either paved or soft surface trails are equally preferred." 67. "b.) The bike path is a great. c.) Better signs would be nice. Many people don't pay attention to others that use the path. Watch for bikers, share the path, pay attention. Signs like that could be helpful" 68. No response. 69. "Trails are a good way to increase physical activities in the valley. Keeps us and the environment healthy but basically telling us where to go, and leaving more of nature to itself" 70. "Walking when In town. Was there for go pro games. And was very impressed with the ease with which to get around. Oh I love in Snowmass. Much more people friendly in Vail than aspen" 71. "Yes the trails around help get to destinations quicker as well as a good way for sight seeing" February 7, 2017 - Page 83 of 2 72. "a.) I run regularly on the North and Vail Trails during the summer. These trails allow locals and visitors alike to experience the natural environment that surrounds the town. c.) I would love to see a continuation of both trails to run the length of town as well as better signage on the North Trail. There are many social trails that branch off and can cause confusion." 73. "The town's existing trail system is very nice! PLEASE do not change the Vail Trail! There are an ample number of mountain bike trails on Vail Mountain and in the Vail Valley. Please leave ONE (besides Berry Picker) for walkers." 74. "Walking" 75. "a.) Walking. b.) They are a tremendous benefit to residents and a delightful surprise to visitors. c.)Improvement should be a Town discussion." 76. "a.) I use them for walking/commuting/biking. b.) They are a huge benefit to the community for commerce, physical/mental well-being. 78. "b.)Trails are a tremendous benefit and should be maintained." 79. "a.) Hiking, biking, walking with the family. b.) The trails are great, we love them!" 80. "a.) I use Town & USFS trails almost daily. The very popular Buffehr segment of the North Trail is my morning walk when not seriously hiking. I and many others do this early in the morning before work or to avoid collision -risk with mountain bikers who also enjoy this trail. c.) We need an active education campaign to get pet -owners to pick up after their pets, esp in winter. PROMPT 2: The 1994 Open Lands Plan envisioned the concept of a trail system between neighborhoods "similar to trails found in the Alps where interconnected trails allow hikers to move around and to mountain villages.", with trailheads in each neighborhood. Notwithstanding the challenges of implementing such a concept (land ownership, environmental impacts, cost, etc.), what do you think of this idea? Responses 1. "I think it is a great idea. I utilize the trail from Buffehr Creek to Garmish all the time." 2. "The Town needs to articulate the purpose of this interconnect. Today it would only serve to bring people into and out of the Village. There is no need to move between neighborhoods due to the lack of community with the high number of part-time residents." February 7, 2017 - Page 84 of 2 3. No response. 4. "Good idea." 5. "I like the idea but still need to protect open space and privacy for neighborhoods. Great idea, tough to implement." 6.

"This is first a town; rather than a trail around the town - which will never be free of I -7o noise - The beauty of hiking is peace and quiet - more trail into the back country `forestland' developed and improved with the Forest Service would be more beneficial, pleasurable, and meaningful!" 29. No response. 30. No response. 31. "Brilliant! I think this would bring the community together, allow for further bike commuting, and overall increase the happiness and health of residents. It also would provide beginner trails for kids and new hikers / riders. It may reduce parking demand." 32. "Exactly! Make them usable for all abilities and kids, bikes, etc. There are plenty of `hard core' trails up drainages, etc. i.e. Gore Creek, Bighorn, Pitkin. Also, add a `shuttleable' mountain trail by extending the Two Elk east to Gore Creek campground or into East Vail / Bighorn Park via existing social trail. $$$!!" 33. "This is a fantastic vision. People can create their own experience as simple or challenging as they wish." 34. "Good." 35. "LOVE THE IDEA and it's about there. More trails to backcountry." 36. "Fully support this concept, should be a high priority." February 7, 2017 - Page 86 of 2 37. No response. 38. "Parking in each neighborhood would be a problem." 39. "I have hiked and run there trails in the Alps many times. They valleys are wide and lush - tiny roads and farms. There is very little vehicular traffic, little development and very few geological challenges. We face entirely different challenges here as mentioned above. The concept sounds charming but to me, it is entirely unrealistic. Our valley needs a comprehensive EIS so we have a valid document by which to proceed with any more expansion." 40. "Not necessary here." 41. "Not necessary... our area does not make this an option." 42. No response. 77. "This is an interesting idea. I have not hiked the trails in the Alps but I imagine an interstate highway does not run through it. The North Trail does connect from Davos to Buffehr to Red Sandstone (I love the little library on that side!). The trail from the Village to Intermountain is wonderful for visitors and residents for walks, bird watching, families with strollers, and biking to get to work or for fun." JANUARY 19, 2017 43.

"I highly enjoy the concept." 51. "I question the long term cost of maintenance to control erosion, maintain safe paths (stone rocks, fallen branches and ) and safety from loose dogs, bears, wildcats, etc. February 7, 2017 - Page 87 of 2 Aren't there enough trails on Vail Mountain?? In twenty years will mountain biking still be popular?" 52. "I think its a good idea." 53. "It would be a great idea for residents and visitors where people could be active on their own while other friends/family do other activities, skiing, golf, etc." 54. No response. 55. "Have you looked at the traffic in the valley? It is terrible. Trails can help alleviate human movement in the valley." 56. "This is a good idea as long as the environmental impact is taken into consideration. Also I don't think we want it too "Disneyland." Better to preserve the natural beauty. Some trails specific to hikers (not mountain bikes) is important." 57. "I like this idea. The mountain and surrounding areas are for recreation. To much of this are is already private and I think interconnecting trails through town provide more and needed recreation opertunities." 58. "I think this idea could benefit the youth in the town being able to easily transport each other to friends houses. It would get more kids active." 59. No response. 6o. "Europeans have a different culture and reality so concept can not be duplicated here. Hiking trails and neighborhood connections are two different things. We pretty much already have trailheads in the appropriate locations." 6i. "We have a bike path along the Vail Golf Course already so I would strongly oppose a connecting trail or bike path on the North side of Frontage Road, one that crosses above the Vail Mountain School. That is BIG HORN SHEEP territory year round. On this very day, January 19, 2017, I saw a magnificent ram sitting above the highway. And, I see them (rams and ewes) very often. The ewes like the land just above the Mountain School." 62. No response sheet. 8i. "I agree with this concept. Beneficial to all including wildlife. Co-existance is most important." WEB SURVEY RESPONSES 63. "I like the idea. But such trails should be soft surfaced, and primarily for hikers. NO new mountain bikes.. No new paved trails." February 7, 2017 - Page 88 of 2 64.

"I think this is a great idea. Not only would this be a great way to experience Vail, it could also positively affect the parking issues in the summer by supplying visitors and locals with additional ways of moving through town instead of solely relying on single occupancy vehicles." 73. "We have that now! Look at the North trail and all of tis trail heads and the course that the Trans Rockies race follows from Vail to Beaver Creek." 74. "great idea" 75. "Should be under discussion with much weight being given to neighborhood residents." 76. "What a great idea. While it may not be popular today, it would be a great idea for a truly forward -thinking community." 78. "Yes, a good idea but only if it is studied properly and does not negatively affect wildlife." 79. No response. 80. "In theory a good idea, but fraught with risk of user conflict unless developed similarly to the East Vail to Village bike trail." PROMPT 3: Trails provide both recreational opportunities and the ability for individuals to access and enjoy the Town's open lands and adjoining USFS lands. However, new trails may have the potential to February 7, 2017 - Page 89 of 2 create adverse site impacts and introducing human activity may impact wildlife habitats. Balancing these factors is important when considering the development of new trails. • What factors are important to you (and why) when thinking about the potential development of new trails in Vail? Responses 1. "I think it is critical to consider environmental impacts. I think seasonal closures are a potential solution although I am not sure if people pay attention to them." 2. "The trails must blend into the natural surroundings. There is already enough `urban' blight in the area. Also, they need to respect people's privacy by not running in proximity to people's living areas." 3. "Human safety. Interaction with animals / especially dogs with animals." 4. "Trails (and potential new trails) are near or adjacent to developed areas - wildlife is plentiful around existing trails, so more trails will not likely cause any more conflicts." 5. "Maintain open space and neighborhood privacy. Not concerned about trails affecting wildlife." 6. No response sheet. 7. "I think the proposed hiking trails look good. More parking at trailheads would be great." 8. No response sheet. 9. "Considering environmental impact is huge, obviously.

As stated earlier, I would like to see it connect to East Vail and, if possible, connect thru to Eagle Vail and Avon on the north side." 28. "See above." 29. "Overdevelopment. Don't do this.

Look at the positive changes that occurred on the hillside below North Trail." 34. No response. 35. "I am not knowledgeable enough to answer, but the environment must be protected to a reasonable extent." 36. "Many social trails already exist. Ideally, trail development would follow these, limiting wildlife disruption. Trails should be wide enough to allow mixed use and limit erosion." 37. No response. 38. "Don't think we need new trails in Town of Vail - there are plenty to the west in less populated areas." 39. "I have serious concerns regarding environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, flora, fauna, private property rights and safety as it pertains to rock slides, avalanche, etc. We have a solid trail network in Vail and we have the mountain. We have expanded lanes on the frontage roads and paved bike paths throughout our valley. The Vail Trail remains a quiet respite, accessible from the Village is ideally suited for walking and/or running. Mountain bikers have a plethora of choices and this quiet gem needs no alteration or extension. The mountain bike community is receiving serious push back in many communities. And the voters of Eagle County indicated their preference for no more trail at the polls in November." 4o. "Trails already in existence are sufficient - no new trails needed!" 41. "New trails are not necessary... too many negatives in anymore developing trails." 42. "Stay out of environmentally sensitive areas. Conserve what little wildlife habitats we have left - we've already taken most of the winter range! Focus on land for trails which are not impacted by geologically sensitive areas (snow slides, rockfall, wetlands). Think about trails where folks can just go for a stroll, enjoy nature, `re-create,' without all of the distractions of bikes, skis, motorbikes, etc. or the din from all of the current activities in Vail and at the top of Lionshead." 77. "It is important to me that we care for habitat for wildlife and do not develop new trails in sensitive areas.

"One area that I'm particularly interested in is the Katsos plot of land in East Vail. I've heard talk of putting in public disc golf course there, which I think is a great idea. The land is easy to access from the East Vail exit and has a nice variety of features that would be perfect for an i8 hole course. The nice thing about disc golf courses is that their impact on the land is very low. No major construction need. It would be a nice tourist attraction for visitors and give locals access to play for more of the season (not having to wait for snow to melt at Adventure Ridge). I wasn't sure where to put this comment, but I feel adding a course would be amazing!" 80. "Before any additional trail development, the TOV should contract & conduct a bio- diversity study. There are inevitably conflicting values in some trail development which need to be evaluated & balanced. For instance, the concept trail along the north side of I 70 utilizing the berm below the E. Vail cliff also used by Bighorn Sheep as shelter & nursery & occasionally by Mountain Goats would be very harmful to wildlife enjoyed by visitors & residents. Similarly an expanded trail above the Memorial Park would be insensitive, even offensive to residents & visitors.

How important is it for the Town to reserve land for future, unforeseen uses or needs? Responses 1. "I am satisfied with the Town's existing facilities.

The Town should work with the county to develop creative solutions to increased public transportation options and decrease cost to down valley residents don't need to drive into Vail." 2. "The Town needs an overall master plan that it works against and the other plans support. Each facility needs to be regularly evaluated based on its profit and loss statement.

The 1994 Open Lands Plan advocated the use of town land and the acquisition of new lands to be used for housing." a. Should housing initiatives be addressed in the updated Open Lands Plan and if so, how? Responses 1. "I think housing should be considered in Vail's use of open lands. More dense housing units for year round employees should be considered." 2. "Housing is separate from Open Lands. They can be related but must be managed as a separate initiative." 3. "No open lands will not be open if you build housing on all of it." 4. "Yes, acquire as much land as possible - highest priority." 5.

Even if you try to deed housing as Vail residents only - how will you enforce it? What if the person gets a job down valley? Do they have to sell?

The businesses and homes have to be taxed for the Town to buy the land in the first place. There is no overall economic benefit to the private providers." 35. "Vail is a resort town. The concept of adding affordable housing should be outside of Vail proper." 36. "The Chamonix project is enough at this time. Housing needs in town should be inexpensive, high density rentals, not subsidizing 2,000 ft. units for lucky lottery -winning locals." 37. "Why supply expensive land for public or employee housing when cheaper land is available in Eagle Vail and west?" 38. "Affordable housing within the present Town of Vail boundaries should be addressed as a possibility BUT acquiring more forest land to use for housing is wrong. More housing can be created down valley $500,000 - $700,000 is not affordable. Not everyone can live in Vail!" 39. "No. We have waited too long and now it has become financially unfeasible.

Should the Open Lands Plan target the acquisition of land or easements specifically for the purpose of enhancing the health of Gore Creek? a. Are there specific measures in this regard you would support? b. What's important to you? Responses 1. "Gore Creek health should be a priority for the Town of Vail and their open space plan. A healthy creek is critical to Vail being a desirable destination for residents and visitors alike." 2.

My sincere thanks to all for giving the community these opportunities to participate in the planning process at this starting point of deliberations & decision-making. I am especially grateful to Gregg Barrie for walking me through the East Vail area where some of the proposed trails are located, and then Dec. 28th for sitting with Dr. Steinberg to discuss the parcels and their possible uses, who understandably cares very deeply about the possible uses. My own comments at present are as follows. 1. Build workforce housing wherever it is economically and environmentally possible. These spots are few enough but could offer some relief to a major problem. 2. Do not waste time & money on purchase of parcels that do not fit these criteria, unless it would protect our threatened watershed. 3.Under no circumstances develop trails in "open lands" that currently insure healthy wildlife, or are home to our highly specialized native species, including our fragile plants, fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. I am aghast that the conceptual mountain bike trail on the north side of the Booth Creek area is proposed to encroach on the shelf used by Bighorns & even Mountain Goats as a nursery and respite area in snow months. I am also upset that the south valley trail would run above the Memorial Park just below the historical & current Peregrine nest site (which I monitor annually). This would highly likely drive the birds away. It seems also insensitive to encourage aggressive bike use so near the Memorial Park. 4. Do engage professionals to produce a Biodiversity Study of these areas, as Pitkin County has done, before any decisions on development. Vail's goal of a Sustainable Community demands this. Our tourism culture based demands it. 5. Since living in California in the 80's and hiking frequently in Marin County, I have followed efforts to make trails compatible to both mountain bikers & hikers. They are still a source of conflict despite best efforts. In Tucson this last winter I again witnessed open hostility between morning walkers & bikers on popular trails. During my own hikes in West Vail, especially if I venture onto the North Trail during summer & fall months, and even occasionally on the Buffehr Trail extension used by so many walkers, I am forced to jump into bushes or cling to crumbling hillsides. No biker has ever yielded to me on a trail, though surprise & speed has sometimes led to falls by both of us. I do not believe these two user groups can ever be truly compatible. On the other hand, East Vail's asphalt trails are a huge success, wide enough for rules of the road to prevail, as well as mutual respect by almost all users. Soft trails are a different matter. Please don't kid yourselves. In appreciation for all your effort, Anne Esson February 7, 2017 - Page 120 of kPETER B AND LUCY F DUNNING 1461 Greenhill Court Vail, Colorado 81657 January 4, 2017 Council Members, Being in California for much of the winter, I am unable to attend the public meetings to discuss Open Space and Donovan Park. Therefore I will make my opinions directly available to you. Open Space has always been important to the Town of Vail and its people. The 1980 Real Estate Transfer Tax was passed to acquire and maintain land for open space, parks and recreation. Donovan Park was the first acquisition later that year. Since then, twice previous councils have seriously discussed transferring some of that land from open space to property to be developed into high density housing. Twice neighbors have signified their displeasure by taking legal steps against the Town. Twice the Town has backed down, acknowledging the original intent of the tax. What has changed in 2017? The intent was fortified by the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan in 1995. If this very clear intent is to be changed, let it be by the voice of the people who live in the Town of Vail. Many property buyers have asked the Town about nearby open space and been assured that open space could not be changed. That assurance contributed to the decision to become property owners. Open Space continues to be very important for the citizens and property owners of Vail. The Town of Vail has been remarkably successful in the past few decades. Let's remember what has made this happen and not allow the Town of Vail to be converted into the City of Vail. Pete Dunning February 7, 2017 - Page 121 of Andrew and Becky Morley 1458 Greenhill Court Vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 440-3456 andrew@montiscapital.com January 6, 2017 Dear Vail Town Council Members, I am writing to provide my input to the discussions you are holding regarding the open space and Donovan Park. Open space has always been important to the Town of Vail and its residents. The 1980 Real Estate Transfer Tax was passed to acquire and maintain land for open space, parks and recreation. Donovan Park was the first acquisition later that year under this tax provision. The Town of Vail has previously discussed transferring some open space land so that it could be developed into high density housing. Each time, the neighborhood residents have indicated their disagreement with these proposals by taking legal steps against the Town, and in each instance, the Town of Vail has acknowledged the original intent of the tax and dropped the discussions. The intent to maintain the open space land was further reinforced by the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan in 1995. If this very clear intent to maintain the designation of the open space is to be changed, it should be done only with the consent and support of the residents of Vail. We and many other property buyers purchased property only after receiving the assurance from the Town of Vail that the open space designation of nearby property could not be changed. That assurance contributed to the decision of many Vail residents to purchase properties. Open Space continues to be very important for the citizens and property owners of Vail. The Town of Vail has been remarkably successful in the past few decades, working with its residents and other organizations. Please keep in mind what has facilitated this success and do not allow the Town of Vail to be converted into the City of Vail.

I sure hope the Town doesn't use Open Space tax money for housing. I'm acutely aware of the need for affordable housing for persons working in Vail (we searched extensively for housing for our Grandson who is a rookie this year on the Vail Ski Patrol)„ but I think using ANY tax money to subsidize expensive houses like Chamonix should be a NO NO. A Vail Daily article said to qualify for a Chamonix townhome, a purchasers' income needed to be " the area's median and up to 160% of the median" in order to qualify to buy houses costing $400K to $700K.. Googling "Eagle County Median Income" gets Median income = $86,000.00. 160% ($86K) = about $140,000.00. That demographic DOESN'T deserve a subsidy! How about the hourly workers in Vail? And others making less than $86,000?! They are the people we'd like to have live in Vail and they deserve a subsidy. What demographic was the Council thinking when they built subsidized houses costing a subsidized price of $400K - $700K??!! Terrible decision, and blatant use of tax -payer's money.

The draft fee schedule is based on anticipated future development, the current estimated cost of the capital projects to accommodate future development, and the appropriate proportioned fiscal responsibility. Staff will review in more detail the Transportation Improvement Project List.

Memorandum To: From: Date: Subject: Vail Town Council Public Works Department February 7, 2017 Transportation Impact Fee Review I. SUMMARY The Town of Vail has hired the consulting firm TischlerBise to develop an updated transportation impact fee. The impact fee is anticipated to codify the current traffic mitigation fee, help fund future transportation related projects as identified in the Vail Transportation Master Plan, and allow new development to "pay its way". Over the past year there have been multiple discussions with the Town Council regarding the codification of a Transportation Impact Fee; January 2016: June 2016: Nov. 2016: January 2017: Review of the current traffic mitigation fee and the previous effort to codify a Traffic Impact Fee in 2009, and next steps to reengage codification. Discussion with consultant, TischlerBise, regarding; • What is a traffic impact fee? • Why implement a traffic impact fee? • What's wrong with our current mitigation fees? • Can the Town waive fees for certain types of developments? Review and confirmation of the Transportation Master Plan capital project list and to what extent (percentage) a transportation impact fee can fund projects. Presentation by TischlerBise of the draft schedule of Transportation Impact Fees based on the completed Nexus Study. The purpose of this Council discussion is to more closely review the Transportation Master Plan capital projects list and summarize the topics that came up during last Council meeting, including; • Policy issues: Can the Town waive/subsidize certain types of development in order to be consistent with Town goals, i.e employee housing and retail? Yes, the Town may choose to subsidize impact fees for certain developments, however they must be included in the initial calculation of the fee in order to be spread evenly among all new future development. • How does the study take into account reductions for multi -use trips in commercial areas? The fees and the Nexus Study utilize the adopted trip February 7, 2017 - Page 131 of rates within the 2009 Vail Transportation Master Plan. This allows for a 20% reduction for residential that is within the commercial areas, and for up to a 65% reduction for retail within commercial areas, due to walkability, multi -use trips, and free transit.(2009 VTMP pp 23-27) • How are increased skier day trips accounted for?

Program to Manage Peak Periods" which identifies that the Town infrastructure can handle a maximum of 19,900 skiers on the mountain at one time. If this number changes or is exceeded a traffic impact fee for additional day skiers should be contemplated. II. PROJECTED CAPITAL PROJECTS As a part of the 2009 Vail Transportation Master Plan and the 2009 Traffic Impact Fee Nexus Study the Town identified a list of anticipated transportation capital projects that would accommodate projected growth. The project list and projected development growth has been recently updated, and now includes pedestrian and transit oriented projects. The preliminary total estimated cost of these multimodal projects is approximately $95M. The cost of these improvements (See Attached) is anticipated to be partially offset by the development of approximately 2000 new units and approximately 500,000 square feet of new commercial that is projected for the future of Vail (See Attached). The project list has broken down the associated fiscal responsibilities, and split them between project specific costs, transportation impact fee costs, and Town of Vail costs or other revenue sources. In order to implement a transportation impact fee, the anticipated transportation projects have been split into two categories, Project level and System level improvements. Project level improvements are directly related to an individual development and its required access. These types of Project level projects are generally paid for by the individual development. System level improvements enhance the carrying capacity of the transportation network system wide and benefit multiple developments. System level improvements directly benefit new development and may also benefit existing users. The Vail Transportation Master Plan Project List includes both Project level and System level improvements, and of the total $95M of total project costs, approximately $20M is considered Project level, and approximately $75M is considered System level. The majority, 57% or $54M, of the $95M of total project costs will need to be funded by the Town of Vail or other revenue resources; while 21 % or $20M should be project specific development funded, and 22% or $21 M should be funded by the Transportation Impact Fee (See Attached). III. DRAFT TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE STUDY TischlerBise has provided an updated nexus study, The Vail Transportation Impact Fee Study, and draft fee schedule for the Town's review. The draft fee schedule is based on anticipated future development, the current estimated cost of the capital projects to Town of Vail Page 2 February 7, 2017 - Page 132 of accommodate future development, and the appropriate proportioned fiscal responsibility. The proposed draft fee schedule is below; Transportation Impact Fee Schedule Maximum Supportable Transportation Impact Fees Residential (per housing unit) Attached in Core Area all sizes $5,960 Attached Outside Core all sizes $7,450 Detached 2099 or less $8,195 Detached 2100 to 2399 $8,444 Detached 2400 to 2699 $8,692 Detached 2700 to 2999 $8,940 Detached 3000 to 3299 $9,189 Detached 3300 to 3599 $9,189 Detached 3600 to 3899 $9,437 Detached 3900 to 4199 $9,686 Detached 4200 to 4499 $9,686 Detached 4500 to 4799 $9,934 Detached 4800 to 5099 $9,934 Detached 5100 to 5399 $10,182 Detached 5400 to 5699 $10,182 Detached 5700 to 5999 $10,182 Detached 6000 to 6299 $10,431 Detached 6300 or more $10,431 Hotel (per room) Hotel in Core Area $5,960 Hotel Outside Core $7,450 Nonresidential (per square foot of floor area) Commercial $13.90 Hospital $9.93 Office & Other Services $6.20 Heated Sq Ft Town of Vail Page 3 February 7, 2017 - Page 133 of For comparison, the following cities and counties have adopted impact fees shown within the table below.

SUMMARY In conjunction with the adoption of the Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC) Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan; the Town of Vail, the VVMC, and the Evergreen collaborated to develop a South Frontage Road Improvement Plan that would accommodate each existing and future access point to the above mentioned properties as well as accommodate projected traffic growth along the South Frontage road. It was identified that "all three parties will benefit from a roundabout and that each property will financially participate in the solution." As a result the agreed upon plan, was included as a part of the VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan.

Previous discussions have assumed that the improvements, with or without the planned roundabout, would occur upon completion of the VVMC's West Phase (-2019/2020). Funding for the project has previously generally been identified as the Town of Vail, Vail Transportation Impact Fees, and each development's (Vail Municipal Building, VVMC, and the Evergreen) project level requirements to access this portion of the South Frontage Road. The Draft Vail Transportation Impact Fee study currently identifies the funding split as follows; • 39% Vail Transportation Impact Fee (Projected new growth of South Frontage Road at this location) • 36% Town of Vail (Currently budgeted Urban Renewal Authority funding via TIF) • 25% Project Level development funding (Town of Vail Municipal Building, VVMC, Evergreen) The purpose of today's discussion is to; • Review the South Frontage Road conceptual design • Confirm the timeframe in which the design should be implemented • Discuss how the project should be funded II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND NEXT STEPS Staff recommends discussing the design, timeframe, and funding of the project and requesting any additional information that may be required prior to making a final recommendation.

Traffic/South Frontage Road Ultimate and Interim VVMC South Frontage Road Design Town of Vail Page 2 February 7, 2017 - Page 151 of 6. TRAFFIC/SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD GOAL Collaborate with neighboring properties to define and imple- ment improvements to South Frontage Road that will provide safe and efficient site access to VVMC, the Town Hall site and the Evergreen Lodge. A Traffic Impact Study has been completed by TurnKey Consult- ing LLC. This study evaluates the traffic impacts of new develop- ment at VVMC and other changes contemplated by this Master Plan, including but not limited to the creation of a new Front Door along South Frontage Road. An executive summary of the study is found in the appendix of this Plan. The Conceptual Cir- culation Plan on the following page depicts proposed vehicular and pedestrian circulation patterns for VVMC. Assumptions on potential South Frontage Road improvements (all of which are subject to approval by the Colorado Depart- ment of Transportation), VVMC expansion plans and other traffic -related operational changes at VVMC that were consid- ered in the traffic study included the following: • A two-lane round -about designed to facilitate right -in/ right -out site access to VVMC, the Evergreen Lodge and the Town Hall site, on South Frontage Road • VVMC vehicular access off South Frontage Road will be right-in/right-out only • Emergency vehicle access to VVMC via the new main access off of South Frontage Road, including westbound left turn into VVMC • Access to the West Lot Surface Parking and the East Wing parking structure will be provided from VVMC's new main access off of South Frontage Road • Access to the new East Parking Structure and the West Surface Lot will be provided via the new main access off of South Fronta:e Road January 2015 • During the construction of the East Wing, 69 parking spaces in the US Bank Building will be temporarily accessed via West Meadow Drive (subject to coordination with neighboring property owners) • Access from the US Bank Building to remain one-way out bound only. • Maintain roundabout Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better The performance of the South Frontage Road roundabout, the Frontage Road/VVMC access point and the Vail Road/Meadow Drive intersection were evaluated by the Traffic Impact Study. Based on analysis by TurnKey Consulting Inc. and Felsburg Holt Ullevig (retained by the Town of Vail), each of these intersections performed at a level well above minimum Town standards for both level of service and delay. An updated traffic study for VVMC will be provided with subse- quent stages of the development review process. FRONTAGE ROAD ACCESS IMPROVEMENT STUDY The Town of Vail took the lead on a conceptual design study of future road and access improvements to South Frontage Road. The participants in this process include the Town, representatives from the Evergreen Lodge and VVMC. Each of these organizations is contemplating development of their property and the primary goal of this effort is to collaboratively define a plan for access improvements along South Frontage Road that will accommodate access to each property. It is anticipated that over time each of the three properties will be limited to right-in/right-out access off the South Frontage Road improvements. This is due to future growth in background traf- fic on South Frontage Road and the proximity of access points for 22 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan February 7, 2017 - Page 152 of 200 6.

It is assumed that a roundabout will be necessary to allow vehicles to turn around in order to access each of these three properties. The focal point of this study was to evaluate alternative locations and designs for a roundabout. It is assumed that all three parties will benefit from a roundabout and that each property will financially participate in the solution. Topography, limited right-of-way width and site conditions along South Frontage Road present significant design and construction challenges and the sequencing of when the improvement is constructed relative to when each of the three parcels re -develop is also an important consideration. Over ten alternative designs and locations for a roundabout were evaluated. In addition, non -roundabout solutions that facilitated necessary turning movements were evaluated but these were dropped from consideration. The preferred location of a round- about is shown on Figure 11 below. This improvement is located predominantly within the South Frontage Road right-of-way, however a portion of the roundabout is located over the "B line" (an internal control boundary of the interstate highway system) on Federal Highway Administration (FWHA) land. This concept is in the process of being presented to the Colorado Department of Transportation and FWHA. .47 .

January 2015 VVMC Site Specific Redevelopment Master Plan February 7, 2017 - Page 154 of 200 6. TRAFFIC/SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD Subject to CDOT approvals, construction of the roundabout would occur after completion of the East Wing and VVMC's new Front Door at the South Frontage Road. This construction sequencing allows for the existing helipad to remain (it will be displaced by construction of the roundabout) until such time the new heliport building is operational. During this period of time interim access improvements to the South Frontage Road will be necessary in order to facilitate access to VVMC. A traffic analysis of this interim improvement has been completed to ensure that the intersection will perform at acceptable levels. A copy of this analysis is found in the appendix of this plan. This interim improvement will provide acceptable turning movements into and out of VVMC. It is considered an "interim improvement" because over time a roundabout will be needed due to growth in background traffic coupled with the anticipated future redevelop- ment of the Evergreen and Town Hall site. Figure 12 below is a conceptual design of these improvements. Major features of these interim improvements are a west bound left -turn lane to serve VVMC and a slight re -alignment to the entry to the Town Hall site (that will maintain the left turn movement out of this site).

PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide further clarification and follow up to questions posed by the Vail Town Council on the International Dark -Sky Association's (IDA) International Dark Sky Communities program and required steps to pursue official designation. II. BACKGROUND At the November 1, 2016 meeting of the Vail Town Council, interest was expressed in current codified dark sky protections and options to strengthen the code. These questions were addressed in an information update to council on November 15th. In that meeting, the following questions were presented to staff: • If the town were to pursue designation as a Dark Sky Community by the International Dark -Sky Association, what are the associated costs? • What enforcement mechanisms would be required under a designation program? • What gaps exist with current conditions vs. designation requirements? Town of Vail lighting requirements were amended by Ordinance No. 9, Series of 1993, which required submittal of an outdoor lighting plan with standards for luminous area, height and cutoff standards, and a requirement for non -conforming lights to come into compliance on any changes to lighting or property. Lighting regulations were updated in 2008 when the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance 21, Series of 2008, amending the town's prescribed standards for exterior lighting contained in Section 14-10-7, Vail Town Code. This amendment was approved with the goal of updating the town's regulations to clarify standards while simplifying implementation and enforcement. Another goal of this amendment was to further dark sky policies and encourage use of environmentally -friendly lighting (energy efficient and environmentally sensitive fixtures and techniques). III. INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY PLACES DESIGNATION 1. What are the costs to a community interested in pursuing designation? There are no costs to a community in terms of fees charged by the IDA to apply for or maintain a designation. However, there are costs to the community associated with the process to achieve and maintain designation. These costs may include the following: • Staff time (Research, legal, consultants, compliance, etc.) • Identify and retrofit any non -conforming municipal lights • Production of education and marketing materials • Community incentives to transition to dark -sky compliant lighting February 7, 2017 - Page 166 of What compliance mechanisms are required for certification? Current Town of Vail code standards are close to meeting IDA requirements for dark sky communities. To address non -conformities, lighting codes need to have a provision that ensures non -conforming properties are brought into conformance. This can be achieved through one of two options: 1 A code provision that triggers compliance when any change is made to a non- conforming light fixture and/or a substantial change is made to a property. ➢ Current Town of Vail code states that sites not conforming to design guidelines come into conformance when allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA), commercial floor area, or garage area is added to any structure or site (limited exemptions apply). This appears to satisfy basic requirements for the IDA. 2. An amortization requirement that would require compliance with code within 5-10 years of the effective date of the new lighting requirements. It is important to understand the difference between legal non -conforming and illegal lighting. In this instance, non -conforming lighting that was installed prior to the 2008 code amendment updating lighting standards. Non -conforming lighting is required to come into compliance per code standards described above. Illegal lighting is lighting that did not receive design review approval. Currently, the town is not properly staffed to undertake a significant compliance effort. What gaps exist between current conditions and certification requirements? The Town of Vail currently has a good initial basis for IDA Dark Sky community designation. The design standards pertaining to outdoor lighting serve as an excellent foundation to build towards Dark Sky Certification. The IDA Dark Sky Community designation process is detailed in Figure 1. Currently, about 60% of properties within the Town of Vail would be compliant with the IDA model ordinance. Staff reviewed town -wide lighting conditions during the period of December 12th -23rd to provide a baseline with model IDA standards. One observation that helps explain the increased brightness experienced in neighborhoods could be the use of new LED lights in old fixtures. If the town is interested in official designation, the first step towards designation would require an update to the Vail Town Code design standards pertaining to outdoor lighting.

IDA Model lighting Code To meet minimum lighting code standards, The Town of Vail code pertaining to outdoor lighting would need to be updated to include the following provisions: • A threshold for allowable color temperature of all lighting fixtures (maximum of 3000 Kelvins). • More stringent restrictions on total amount of unshielded lighting allowed per site. This needs to be focused on total lumens rather than number of fixtures. • A provision to regulate total brightness per site (lumens per acre caps, etc.), brightness levels are allowed to vary based on zoning. • A provision that clearly indicates where, when, and under what circumstances new public outdoor lighting is warranted and permitted. • A provision that requires adapted controls and curfews be employed in future installations of outdoor public lighting. 2. Community commitment to dark skies, quality lighting, and dark sky education Once code requirements are met, a community must demonstrate a commitment to dark skies. This requirement includes the following standards: • Municipal owned lighting conforming to lighting code or a plan to come into compliance within 5 years. • Municipal support of dark sky as demonstrated through PSAs, publications, information flyers, funding of lighting upgrades. • Broad community support from organizations such as the Vail Chamber, Holy Cross Energy, Vail Homeowners Association, etc. • Commitment to dark sky education through annual awareness events, inclusion of dark sky information in community brochures, and dark sky education programming in community schools. 3. Success in light pollution control To meet this standard, a municipality must meet one of the following conditions during the reporting process per IDA guidelines: • Provide examples of a minimum of 10 projects that meet IDA model code standards. • An alternative method proposed by the Town of Vail and agreed upon by the IDA. 4. Monitoring and Reporting This standard requires a sky brightness measurement program that is maintained by the community or a 3rd party. This program should track and monitor light pollution within the community. Annual reports must be submitted that document progress on existing light pollution issues within the community. The report is a 1-2 page synopsis of community activities and initiatives throughout the year. 5. Nomination and Designation Nomination to be an International Dark Sky Community is initiated by an IDA qualified nominator who will review the applicant (community). If a community does not meet the standards required for an outright designation, it may receive provisional status. Provisional status provides a 3 year period to achieve the standards and re -apply for designation. Table 1 shows all current designated dark sky communities in the United States.

NEXT STEPS Moving forward, the Vail Town Council may consider the following actions: 1. Maintain current outdoor lighting standards, addressed through the design review process. 2. Strengthen current outdoor lighting standards to address current concerns (e.g. brightness, color temperature). 3. Update current outdoor lighting standards to model IDA code requirements and pursue IDA Dark Sky Community designation. Depending on which action, if any, is selected for implementation, staff will return to the Vail Town Council at a later date with more detailed action steps and timelines.

Town of Vail Summer 2016 Economic Indicators Summary (Based on Summer data: May 1 - October 31, 2016) INTRODUCTION: This summary is provided as a part of the Town of Vail 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan and introduces a synopsis of Vail Economic Indicators representing summer 2016 (May - October) seasonal view and is supported by a more granular chart (attached). Summaries are published twice annually as soon as practical after the data has become available, is limited in scope by the availability of data from secondary sources and is believed to be generally accurate, but not independentl verified. Tourism t Vail's 2016 summer season experienced growth in most tourism indicators. During the summer of 2016, Vail experienced a significant increase in lodging occupancy (+13.8%) as well as in average daily rate (+11.3%) resulting in a dramatic increase in overall revenue per available room (RevPAR) (+26.6%). This increase in occupancy (to 49.4%) and average daily rate (to $223) represent the highest levels since this measurement system was established. Comparatively, Vail outperformed other U.S. western mountain resorts (based on overall DestiMetrics industry data) who increased both aggregated occupancy (+6.6%) and rate (+7.6%) and achieved an increase in RevPAR (+14.7%) but to a lesser extent than Vail's. According to Vail's Daily Occupancy Report (produced by DestiMetrics), 18 weekends or two thirds of all weekends in the summer season were at an occupancy of 70% or higher (up from 13 last year). This encompassed every weekend from June 11 through October 1St with 8 of those weekends at between 85% and 95% occupancy. The most notable improvements in occupancy took place during August and early September and may be a precursor to larger increases in rate and smaller increases in occupancy in the future as capacity limits may hinder the ability to bring additional overnight visitors to Vail during peak times. The Vail Cascade Resort (285 rooms) was closed during the summer of 2016 for renovations, which is noteworthy and represented 7.5% of Vail's professionally managed short term rental inventory. As a result, while the supply of short term rooms/units decreased, occupancy at other lodging properties may have increased, absorbing otherwise misplaced guests. The statistical consequences of which is that Vail's increase in overall lodging tax collections may not mirror increases in occupancy, rate or RevPAR. Other metrics to note are gasoline prices, which declined (-15.7%) over the previous summer and have decreased dramatically over the past two summers (-37.3%). This may have contributed to the continued increase in Tunnel Traffic (+6.3%). Deplanements at Eagle County Regional Airport increased slightly (+2.4%) from last season as did deplanements at Denver International Airport (+5.9%). Cars in the parking structures and on the Frontage roads show an increase (+9.3%), while visitors to the Vail Village and Lionshead Welcome Centers (located at the parking structures) increased significantly (+26.1%). A variety of special events took place during the summer months and recent changes in attendance counting methodology (by a third party firm) attendance metrics are more reliable than in previous years, to wit: Overall event attendance increased (+13.3%) from last summer. Most had attendance consistent with last year, but several notable increases include GoPro Mountain Games (+22.0%), Hot Summer Nights (+16.4%), Vail International Dance Festival (+51.4%) and Vail Lacrosse Shoot -Out (+16.4%). There were no significant events added or removed from Vail's summer line up that affected overall attendance, however the summer of 2016 marked the inaugural season of Vail's Epic Discovery, an on -mountain summer adventure experience, located at the top of the EagleBahn gondola. The Town of Vail reported a dramatic increase in lift tax revenue (+45.6%) over last summer. Real Estate t This season's real estate indicators show a slight decrease in number of transactions (-3.9%) and a considerable decrease in average sale price per transaction (-16.9%) with total gross sales decreasing (-22.3%). Average price per square foot decreased (-10.3%) as well. Vail's real estate market had been steadily improving from the summer of 2011 through the summer of 2015, prior to this softening in 2016. Based on winter 2016/17 trends to date, these summer metrics may not be indicative of a declining market, rather an anomaly with fewer luxury property sales and more moderate priced .ro.erties sales durin. the summer months. Town Revenues Sales Tax is segmented by business type (retail, lodging and food/beverage) and further broken down geographically by Vail neighborhoods. Excluding out of town collections, all segments combined showed an increase in overall summer sales tax revenue (+4.5%) following another record breaking summer season's sales tax revenue, which had increased (+7.9%) last year. Specifically, lodging (+6.5%) and retail (+6.3%) tax collections each saw a higher year over year increase than food and beverage sales (+1.1 %). When segmented by neighborhood, Lionshead Attachment: VaiIFEetramiyifliaocilT4Rage 173 of TOWN OF VA Desti MetricsLLC Resort Intelligence. experienced larger increases Cascade/Sandstone/East the Vail Cascade Resort experienced larger increases overall (+12.2%) compared to Vail Village (+11.4%). Cascade/Sandstone/East & West Vail showed a significant decline (-18.1 %) due to the closure of the Vail Cascade Resort in the Cascade Village and the Holiday Inn (closed on Sept. 6). A study conducted by DestiMetrics shows that the average of taxable sales at comparable ski towns was also up season -over -season although with slightly larger increases in both lodging sales (+9.7%) and total taxable sales (+6.6%). Other Tax Collections by the Town of Vail include construction use tax, property tax and real estate transfer tax and are reported on a calendar -year basis. As a result, these taxes do not correlate with the seasonal indicators above. Business Growth Macro Economics t Business Growth is based on broader county and national indicators, many of which are tracked on an annual basis and lag significantly. While not as current and telling of the current market conditions, the Business Growth indicators show a strengthening economy as evidenced by the total 2016 amount of bankin. de.osits USD increased from 2014 +11.5% The broader economic conditions have a significant impact on determining consumers' discretionary spending and leisure habits, which in turn can significantly impact Vail's economic performance. While there are global economic challenges, the US domestic economy is strong across most sectors, with recent dramatic increases in financial and consumer marketplaces. These markets were beginning to show some volatility in recent months, most notably in the weeks running up to November's Presidential election. None of the volatility appeared to impact travel during the summer months, which continued to grow significantly both across the industry and in Vail. A tolerance for rate increases, which was slipping in winter 2015/16, returned in summer 2016, though it must be noted that summer rates remain dramatically lower than winter. Among the positive economic variables is the continuing low cost of gas and other transportation fuels. Among the negative is the continued strength of the US dollar against foreign currencies, particularly the Canadian and European markets, resulting in a decrease in foreign visitation to ski/mountain destinations. (1) Consumer Confidence has moved out of the 90 -point range to eclipse the 100 -point mark for each of the past four months, its longest stretch above 100 points since July 2007. Consumers are feeling more confident in both current conditions and long-term economic outlook, bolstered by wage increases in 2016 that were lacking in the prior six years of recovery and significant and ongoing gains in financial markets that are being reflected in savings and retirement accounts. (2) Job Creation & Unemployment continues to be an extremely consistent part of the economic/consumer engine. Though job creation has slowed somewhat over the past three months, employers added an average of 205,000 jobs during the past six months, down only 5,000 jobs per month from the prior six months, and continuing a record 74 - month streak of job creation during which an average of 199,405 jobs have been added per month. The national unemployment rate was at or below 5.0 percent for the past fourteen months, and has been below 5.0 percent for five of the last six months, now firmly below pre -recession levels. (3) Wall Street and other domestic financial markets have shown such resilience as to be only occasionally impacted by global events over the course of the past six months, quickly recovering when outside events do get reflected in market performance. Anticipated volatility heading into the Presidential election didn't materialize and concerns coming out have been set aside in favor of high market confidence in certain sectors sufficient to drive dramatic increases in the past six weeks aka "Trump Bump". Overall, the Dow Jones has added 7.8 percent in the past six months, and the tech -heavy Nasdaq 13.8 percent while the more consumer -reflective Standard & Poors 500 has added 9.1 percent. (4) Foreign Exchange Rates continued to be very high for inbound visitors to the US as the US dollar remained the strongest major currency in the global marketplace. On the flip side creating great deals for international travel from the US, but at some consequence to domestic travel in so doing. This Summary and the foundational data set will be further updated and expanded upon twice annually, taking its place among the tools available to better inform the Town staff, its various committees and the public it serves.

Descriptions of the data follow each section. Section One: Usage Total New Users (since launch 11/18/16) 2,634 Average downloads per day (trailing 12 days average) 65 Average Daily User (Trailing 12 days Average) 146 *these usage numbers represent all users since launch in November. For year one these numbers are on course for where I expected them. The key number to look at here is the average daily user which is 146 and 10% ahead of the benchmark for travel apps. What does our usage mean? Engagement! We are achieving above average engagement with our users. Section Two: Behavior Date Range 11/18/2016 to 1/31/2017 Sessions per day (avg) 315 Seconds per session (avg) 31.6 (6 clicks per session) Sessions Per: Day 1.9 (Benchmark Travel App 1.8) Week 2.0 (Benchmark Travel App 2.0) Month 2.6 (Benchmark Travel App 2.3) *This piece shows how our app is beating two out of three of the benchmarks for travel apps as calculated by our analytics provider Flurry. The manage analytics for apps such as Skype, Yelp, Travelocity, Clash of Clans, etc. Section Three: Demographics Apple 90% Android 10% Average Age 35-54 Male 37.59% Female 62.41% *This piece can be expanded to include as much info as we can handle but will currently allow us to focus our marketing efforts towards specified demographics. I thought we would have more android users at this point so we will focus attention on that. Section Four: Local Business Search February 7, 2017 - Page 181 of Businesses Visited (direct clicks/inquiries) Deal Offered Average Direct Inquiry Per Day Town of Vail Bus Routes 450 no 20.45 Vintage 421 yes 19.14 Vendetta's 350 yes 15.91 The Remedy Bar 250 yes 11.36 Vail Ticket Office 218 yes 9.91 The Red Lion 217 yes 9.86 Pepi's Bar & Restaurant 200 yes 9.09 Big Bear Bistro 188 yes 8.55 Eagle County Bus System 182 yes 8.27 Vail Village Parking 180 yes 8.18 Bart & Yeti's 174 yes 7.91 Vail Vitality Center 174 no 7.91 Larkspur Restaurant & Bar 163 yes 7.41 Vail Ski Base 153 yes 6.95 Los Amigos 143 yes 6.50 Haagen-Dazs 134 yes 6.09 Donovan Park 117 no 5.32 Vail Lionshead Structure 115 no 5.23 Avalanche Pub 111 no 5.05 *This analysis shows that with minor participation, the businesses see real quantifiable results that they can use to direct their advertising/marketing budgets. More importantly, this shows that the infrastructure sites for the town on the app are being utilized. Section Five: Advertising Partners Impression Avg Banner Visited (12/16/16 -1/6/17) Direct Clicks/Inquiries Impressions SSCV 147 76,500 Ski Haus 94 76,500 VSO 57 76,500 sscv 47 76,500 Surefoot 42 76,500 *This shows us that our app is creating enough impressions for our advertising partners to keep their Return on Investment at a competitive level, allowing us to further monetize the app. The Avg Impressions number is the same because we calculate that as a rotating screen that scrolls through the app during the user's experience. Overall, these analytics are exactly what I was looking for. They are proving engagement with the app and the apps ability to be informative and user friendly. Now that we have proved it's' effectiveness, we will be able to branch out to accommodate events that are coming to town as well as providing lodging options and pricing. The East and West Vail maps will be added in the next build as well as bus routes. Our new Android update will also be available and will match the functionality of the current iOS Version including the parking icon. February 7, 2017 - Page 182 of All non -Town of Vail Activities and Businesses are in the process of being removed and should be complete by the next new version. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
