3. Main Agenda
3.1. A request for the review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section 12- 60 min.
9C-3, Conditional Uses; Public buildings and grounds, Vail Town Code, to
allow for construction of a yurt or similar structure at the Vail Nature Center,
located at 841 Vail Valley Drive/Unplatted (Ford Park), and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0013)
ApplicantTown of Vail, represented by Todd Oppenheimer
Planner: Chris Neubecker
1. This Conditional Use Permit shall lapse and become void if a building
permit is not obtained and diligently pursued toward completion or the
approved use has not commenced within two (2) years from the date of
approval. Any conditional use which is discontinued for a period of
two (2) years, regardless of any intent to resume operation, shall not
be resumed thereafter; any future use of the site or structures thereon
shall conform to the provisions of Title 12, Vail Town Code.
2. The floor plan and site plan included as part of the permit application
review by the Planning and Environmental Commission are illustrative
only. The precise location of the Nature Center yurt within the site
may be modified, however the size of the yurt may not increase without
a modification to this permit.
May 1, 2018 - Page 12 of 269
3. Approval of this conditional use is contingent upon the applicant
obtaining a Town of Vail design review approval.
4. Failure of the applicant to adhere to these conditions of approval may
require review of this Conditional Use Permit, including a public
hearing by the Planning and Environmental Commission, and may
result in revocation of this permit.
5. Upon the completion of the use of the yurt, or three (3) years from date
of approval, whichever happens earlier, the Applicant shall remove the
yurt and foundation and shall revegetate all disturbed soils with native
vegetation.
Neubecker began by referencing vicinity map of the site that depicted
the location of the existing Vail Nature Center building and the
proposed locations of the yurt and accompanying temporary toilet
facilities. The proposal will also require approval by the Town of Vail
Design Review Board (DRB). Neubecker defined "yurt" for the
commissioners. He then stated that the proposed yurt will be 27' in
diameter. He also discussed the changes that will be required to make
the site compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
As the request is for a conditional use permit, Neubecker stated that
staff does not anticipate any negative impacts on or off the site.
Neubecker summarized the conditions of approval recommended in the
staff memo.
Kurz — Asked Neubecker to confirm the foundation for the proposed
yurt. Neubecker stated that while the rendering depicts a wood deck
base, the actual base will be concrete. Greg Hall, Director of Public
Works, stated that it will be a traditional concrete deck about the same
size as the footprint of the yurt. Kurz followed up by asking the
location of the associated ADA parking. Neubecker and Hall both
confirmed that the nearest ADA parking is across Gore Creek and
close to the amphitheater.
Lockman — Asked for more information regarding how the site will be
made ADA compliant.
Stockmar — Asked if the concrete slab foundation will be removed when
the yurt is removed. Hall confirmed. Neubecker added that the
removal of the foundation is included as a condition of approval.
Kjesbo — Asked if three years is sufficient time to complete the project.
Hall confirmed, but stated that they could ask for an extension in three
years, if necessary. Neubecker added that the boardwalk is not part of
the conditional use permit, but it will be reviewed by the DRB.
Stockmar — Asked for more information about the existing conditions of
the Vail Nature Center building. Hall stated that the long term fate of
the structure is still under discussion. Stockmar asked for an estimate
of the number of visitors per year to the Vail Nature Center building.
Hall estimated in the tens of thousands visitors per year.
Public Comment
Gwen Scalpello stated that she is actively involved in the Vail Nature
Center. She stated that the building is an asset to the community and
May 1, 2018 - Page 13 of 269
she believes it is important for the Vail Nature Center to be able to
continue in operation this year. She reiterated that there is ADA
parking close to the amphitheater.
Greg Clifton, Town Manager, concurred with Ms. Scalpello in the
importance in keeping the Vail Nature Center program operational and
that this request is part of that effort. The decision of what will happen
with the building in the long term will be part of a public review process
that will begin in the near future.
Stockmar — Asked if the existing conditions of the structure posed a
danger to the public. Clifton responded that the structure does not at
this time pose a danger, but it will require improvements. The town is
being cautious regarding the building, thus the request for the yurt.
Gillette — Asked if the town was purchasing or renting a yurt. Clifton
stated that the town will be purchasing the yurt.
Gillette — Concurs with staff's recommendations.
Kurz — Also agrees with staff's findings and recommendations. This
will allow a town asset to continue its operation.
Kjesbo — Concurs with the other commissioners.
Lockman — Finds that the proposal meets the criteria for a conditional
use permit. He expressed some concern regarding the use of a
boardwalk as a long term solution for accessibility.
Stockmar — Also concurs with staff's findings and recommendations.
He expressed that the Vail Nature Center is a valuable resource to the
community and encourages making the site accessible.
John -Ryan Lockman moved to approve with conditions. Ludwig Kurz
seconded the motion and it passed (5-0).
Absent: (2) Hopkins, Perez
3.2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for an Amendment 5 min.
to the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan, pursuant to Section 12-3-7 Amendment,
Vail Town Code, to allow for construction of a new building at the Vail Nature
Center, located at 841 Vail Valley Drive/Unplatted (Ford Park), and setting
forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0014)
This application has been withdrawn by the applicant.
ApplicantTown of Vail, represented by Todd Oppenheimer
Planner: Chris Neubecker
3.3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 90 min.
12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, concerning an update to the 1994
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(PEC 17-0049)
ApplicantTown of Vail, represented by Tom Braun, Braun and Associates
Planner: Chris Neubecker & Kristen Bertuglia
May 1, 2018 - Page 14 of 269
Neubecker began by summarizing the events of the previous
times the item appeared before the PEC. More specifically,
Neubecker discussed the March 26, 2018 PEC meeting and
the topics that were discussed and/or identified for review at
that meeting. Upon request, an implementation matrix has
been incorporated into the updated document. Other
changes to the document include: changes to maps to
increase legibility; clarification of language for Action Item
24; addition of key definitions; increased legibility of the
wildlife resources map; added language regarding
conservation easements and designated open space zoning.
Neubecker stated that some items have not been changed,
despite previous requests from commissioners or public.
Among the items that remain: the Vail Trail extension is still
included in the concept trail plan; minutes of the wildlife forum
have not been included, but the link to the forum will remain
on the town's website; minutes from staff and town consultant
meeting minutes will not be included; priorities will be
identified at a later date with direction from the Town Council;
and the document does not address changes to the
Designated Open Space zoning process. Neubecker
concluded by stating staff recommends approval of the Plan
update.
Tom Braun, Braun Associates, Inc., made a presentation that
summarized the planning process to date. He reiterated a
few of the changes that Neubecker previously referenced.
He stated that he and staff feel it is best to discuss
prioritization via an annual discussion with the Town Council.
He provided more information on how to address requests to
change the zoning process for Designate Open Space. The
Vail Trail Extension remains in the concept trail plan as it
remains a conceptual idea that may fit into public requests.
No construction of the trail would occur without thorough
research into the viability of the trail, its potential impact on
wildlife, and the examination of the overall context of
development within the town. Braun emphasized his belief
that concept trail plan brings a balanced approach to trails in
the town. He then made comparisons and contrasts between
this plan and the original 1994 plan.
Gillette — Asked what entity is responsible for purchasing
gates for trail closures. Greg Hall stated that the town is
paying for the materials.
Diana Donovan — Stated that the reason she and other
members of the public have been focused on the Vail Trail
Extension is because it is currently staked in the field and
construction was supposed to be completed by now. She
believes the proposed location is in one of the worst spots in
regards to its potential negative impact on wildlife. She also
does not believe the Vail Trail Extension will be a beginner
level trail. She does not believe the Vail Trail Extension
should not be included in the plan update. She cited Bill
Andree of the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife in
her opposition to the trail.
May 1, 2018 - Page 15 of 269
Anne Esson — Stated that she was impressed with the
amount of time and effort the commissioners have put into
this project. She is opposed to the inclusion of the Vail Trail
Extension in the conceptual trail plan. She also cited Bill
Andree in her opposition to the trail based on the potential
negative impacts to wildlife. She asked the commissioners
not to approve any plan that includes the proposed Vail Trail
Extension. She stated her concern the trail would have on
the peregrine falcons that nest in the area. She also believes
the trail extension will have a negative impact on Memorial
Park's peaceful setting. She asked that if the PEC were to
make a recommendation to the Town Council, that they
encourage the Town Council postpone hearing the item until
at least mid-June when more residents will be in town.
Braun — Stated that the staked area referenced by Ms.
Donovan is from two (2) years ago, prior to the plan update
process. He pointed out that the plan also points out that
some social trails be closed, and specifically references
Memorial Park.
Lockman — Thanked the public for their comments and
thanked Tom Braun and staff for providing clear detail in their
response to public and commissioner comments from the last
meeting. He stated that the plan reflects all of the
interconnected issues in the town and is not just about one
trail or parcel. In regards to proposed trails, he finds that the
plan specifically mentions the importance of wildlife when
considering any new trails. He agrees with how the plan
discusses Designated Open Space zoning and conservation
easements.
Kjesbo — Stated that he believes the plan has been well vetted
and that any previously open questions have been adequately
answered.
Kurz — Stated that he was ready to hear a motion for
approval at the last meeting, but the plan is even better in its
current version. He finds the plan strikes a reasonable
balance between economic development, recreation, and
wildlife preservation. He encourages the Town Council to
find funding for enhanced signage and other measures
established in the plan.
Gillette — Stated that he is happy with the current version of
the plan. He is ready to begin the next stage of the plan and
start implementing some of the suggestions and conducting
more in depth studies.
Stockmar — Concurred with Commissioners Lockman and
Kurz. He finds that the plan has been significantly improved
since the previous meeting. He is concerned about the
potential negative impact on wildlife that may result from the
proposed Vail Trail Extension. He is not certain it is a
necessary component of the concept trail plan. He concurs
with Commissioner Kurz that there should be a commitment
May 1, 2018 - Page 16 of 269
to public education of the importance of wildlife habitat.
Ludwig Kurz moved to approve. John -Ryan Lockman seconded the motion
and it passed (5-0).

II. DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
The Ever Vail Development is a proposed mixed-use project located in West Lionshead
encompassing multiple parcels totaling 12.6 acres or 549,574 square feet. The project
site, as illustrated below, includes the Vail Professional Building, Cascade Crossings,
Vail Resorts Maintenance Yard, Glen Lyon Office Building and the former site of the BP
Gas Station, now a surface parking lot.

mountain portal comprised of hotel and other commercial uses, residential and
employee housing units and parking and transit facilities. The chart below, contained in
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, illustrates the proposed uses, unit counts

III. ENTITLEMENT PROCESS
The Ever Vail Development entered the development review process with the Town of
Vail in 2007. Through the course of over 35 meetings and public hearings, the project
underwent considerable refinements and revisions. Early on in the process, the Town of
Vail identified the following processes and approvals necessary for the project:
A. Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map to allow for a change
in the land use designation from Community Office to Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan for the Cascade Crossing, Vail Professional
Building and Glen Lyon Office Building.
B. Amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to incorporate
the Ever Vail parcels into the plan and to provide detailed plan
recommendations.
C. Approval from CDOT and the FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) for the
relocation of the Frontage Road.
D. Approval of an SDD Amendment for SDD #4, Cascade Village to remove
Development Area D (Glen Lyon Commercial Site) from the Special
Development District.
E. A rezoning of the portions of the development site zoned SDD, Arterial
Business District or lacking zoning to Lionshead Mixed -Use 2, thereby having
one zoning for the entire development site.
Town of Vail Page 2
May 1, 2018 - Page 20 of 269
F. Approval of a Preliminary Plat for the subdivision of the property into two (2)
lots and the relocation of the Frontage Road
G. A Prescribed Regulations Amendment to incorporate the development site
into the Commercial Core Area for parking considerations.
H. Conditional Use approval for certain uses. The private parking structure,
certain residential uses, office, conference and meeting space, maintenance
facility, transit center, and the gondola are identified as conditional uses in the
LMU-2 zone district.
I. Major Exterior Alteration approval for each building within the development.
J. Design Review Board approval for all new buildings/facilities.
K. Floodplain Modification Permit approval for impacts to the flood plain as a
result of the relocation of the Frontage Road.
During the review process, the Town and Vail Resorts had extensive discussions
concerning what form the entitlements would take. This ranged from approval of all
required applications to a Development Agreement outlining the project's
approvals/vesting. At the conclusion of the review process, items A through G were
approved either outright or with sunset provisions, as outlined in Section IV of this
memo. Items H through K were delayed until a future time when the start of
development was known. It should be noted that Items 1 and J, Major Exterior Alteration
review by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and design review by the
Design Review Board, require complete architectural plans for all buildings and
facilities.
The most significant of the project's entitlements are the site specific plan
recommendations for Ever Vail contained in Chapter 5 of the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan and the Preliminary Plan for a Major Subdivision approval. Please see the
attachments in Section VI for copies of the three (3) ordinances and three (3)
resolutions that outline the Ever Vail approvals. Although the project has not received
approval of a Development Plan, the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
Amendments for detailed plan recommendations for Ever Vail act in many ways as a
development master plan as the recommendations include references to the following
development parameters:
A. South Frontage Road Realignment
B. Vehicular Access and Circulation
C. Parking
D. Public Transportation
E. Gondola and Vail Mountain Portal
F. Pedestrian and Bike Access
G. Public Spaces and Plazas
H. Preservation of Existing Office and Retail Space
I. Development Pattern, Program and Uses
J. Relationship to Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek
Town of Vail Page 3
May 1, 2018 - Page 21 of 269
K. Employee Housing
L. Development Standards
1. Building Heights
2. Setbacks
3. Landscaping
4. Site Coverage
M. Architectural Improvements
N. Green Building
The Amendments to the Lionshead Master Plan are final, unless amended, and do not
have a sunset provision. The amendments act as the unofficial vesting for the Ever Vail
project.

The photographs in this section are intended to show a general view to be protected. Due to the
existing development on the site and the proposed Ever Vail improvements, the exact views are
not possible to photograph at this point in time. Upon completion of Ever Vail, the new view
corridors should be photographed, surveyed and adopted in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 12-22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code. View corridors within Ever Vail will need to be
reviewed as an element of each major exterior alteration application in order to determine the
location for the origin of each view. Tools such as, but not limited to, photo renderings and
digital models will be utilized in this review.

4.6.2 South Frontage Road
Recommendations outlined below address the potential realignment re alignment of portions of the
frontage road, ingress and egress improvements, bicycle/ pedestrian improvements, and visual
improvements. For a detailed discussion of capacity and the impacts of future development on the
frontage road, see the traffic impact study contained in appendix A. Figure 4 9 depicts potential
redevelopment without the realignment of the Frontage Road while Figure 4 93 depicts redevelopment
with a partial rcvlignmcnt of the Frontage Road. With Vail Resorts' acquisition of the Glen Lyon
Office Building, the Vail Professional Building and Cascade Crossing, realignment of the South
Frontage Road along the south side of 1-70 is a reality. Study of this realignment throughout 2007
and 2008 allowed the Town of Vail, Vail Resorts, CDOT and FHWA, to come to a general
agreement as to the road section, right-of-way width, and access points. This alignment and
design is the preferred alternative, and is indicated in figure 4-9.

CHAPTER 5
Detailed Plan Recommendations
This section of the Lionshead Master plan examines individual parcels and groups of parcels within the
Lionshead study area, excluding the residential properties on the south side of Gore Creek. The intent of
this chapter - and the Master plan as a whole - is to identify important functional relationships and visual
objectives within the district and to propose a framework for the long-term redevelopment of Lionshead.
The document does not intend to limit or eliminate ideas relating to specific parcels; any proposals
consistent with this framework should be considered even if they are not anticipated in this document.
The parcels addressed here are organized generally from east to west, starting with the civic hub on the
eastern end of the parking structure.
5.17 West Lionshead
5.17 Ever Vail
Ever Vail is a 12.6 acre site located in West Lionshead (see Figure 5-21). Ever Vail West Lionshead
includes the Vail Associates Service Yard, Holy Cross site, Vail Professional Building site, Cascade
Crossings site, Glen Lyon Office Building site, and the former gas station site - - - and Sanitation site. The subject property is divided into two parcels within the Ever Vail
Subdivision and should be zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 2 District. Ever Vail should be
redeveloped to enhance and improve the guest and community experience and improve Vail
Resorts' ability to service and maintain mountain facilities. Due to the large size of the
development site, Ever Vail will likely be redeveloped in phases over time. Ever Vail should be a
residentiallmixed use hub that includes key components such as a ski lift (gondola), increased
office space, new retail space, public parking, realignment of the frontage road, relocated
mountain operations and maintenance yard, employee housing, a 100 plus room hotel, public
transit facilities, a community recreation facility and improvements for connectivity with the rest
of Lionshead and Cascade Villa • e for • edestrians, bicycles and vehicles.

5.17.1 South Frontage Road improvements and Vehicular Access
Planning for West Lionshead must considor two diff ront sconorios: tho roolignmont of South Frontago
Road and its retention in the existing alignment. While the introduction of lift service is viable in either of
Road alignment. See Figures 4 93, and 4 9b for the Frontage Road realignment alternatives.
Notwithstanding these different Frontage Road scenarios. there should be an increase of existing office
square footage and "no not loss" of rotail squoro footogo as a rosult of tho rodovolopmont of thoso
parcels. - - -- - - ' -- - - --- - from public view. Service and delivery truck turning maneuvers should not negatively impact traffic flow
on the South Frontage Road. With a realignment of vehicular access points, attention should be given to
the location of service and parking areas.
a. Rotontion of Existing Frontage Road Alignment
if the Frontage Road remains in its currant locati n tho Mointonanco Yord/Holy Cross parcols, tho
w

romain viable development sites. The most viable site for a public parking facility would be the
pedestrian crossing over the Frontage Road to the Maintenance Yard/Holy Cross parcels. A
strong east west oriented pedestrian corridor with ground floor retail uses would be necessary to
mad scenario the Vail Professional Building site and Cascade Crossing could be developed as a
contiguous parcel.
In keeping with Policy Objective 2.3.4, improved Access and Circulation, of the Plan,
conjunction with any future redevelopment of the sites. Possible opportunities for improvements
may include, an improved mass transit stop, relocated/reduced/shared points of entry/exiting,
turning lanes, landscaped medians and skier drop off.
current configuration of tho Frontago Road, tho bus stops in front of said proportios shall bo
enhanced with. for example, shelters, benches, and landscaping. Pedestrian connections shall
surrounding buildings to provide safe and attractive pedestrian crossing and connections.
improvements may include crosswalks. walkways, pedestrian crossing warning lights, medians,
and signage.
5.17.1 South Frontage Road Realignment
The relocation of the South Frontage Road in the Ever Vail area has been a concept embodied in
this master plan since its adoption in 1998. Ever Vail includes the relocation and realignment of
the South Frontage Road consistent with the recommended actions and policy objections found
in sections 1.3.4 and 2.3.4. The South Frontage Road realignment should be relocated as detailed
in the initia! road relocation plans submitted to the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) and as shown in figure 5-21a. Prior to the Town of Vail submitting the final plans for the
relocation of the South Frontage Road to CDOT, the Town should reevaluate the design to
include a dedicated eastbound bike lane and a reduction in the width of the pedestrian/bike path
on the south side of the relocated South Frontage Road. The relocated South Frontage Road
includes a 2 -lane roundabout at the eastern end of Ever Vail. This roundabout connects the
relocated frontage road with the new extension of West Forest Road. Legal and physical access
8
10/ 18/201 1
7-2-8
May 1, 2018 - Page 35 of 269
to the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) site shall be provided by the Ever Vail
property owners through Ever Vail to accommodate current uses and future development of the
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) property. On the South Frontage Road west
of Ever Vail, a roundabout with a connection to the Simba Run underpass is anticipated and
further described in section 4.6.6. The grades of the relocated South Frontage Road should be
designed to accommodate the construction of the roundabout and Simba Run underpass (see
figure 5-21b).
b. Frontage Road Realignment
The greatest benefit of th s the realignment of the South Frontage Road alternative is that it results in
one very large and contiguous development parcel and in doing so integrates the Maintenance
Yard/Holy Cross site with the West Day Lot (Ritz-Carlton Residences) by removal of the barrier created
by the existing South Frontage Road alignment. It also creates the best pedestrian environment
possible in creating an extension of the Lionshead Retail area in that it provides the potential to
establish a convenient and desirable pedestrian connection to the rest of Lionshead.
With this alternative the most viablo sito fora public parking facility would still bo tho Mointononco
Yard/Holy Cross parcels. With the re location of the Frontage Road lift access out of the old gas station
parcels. However, a grade separated crossing over the Red Sandstone Creek would be needed to link
the Holy Cross sitc with the Vail Professional Building site.
This alternative would also prosont tho opportunity for onhoncing Rod Sandstono Crook to mako it moro
streambank stabilization/ beautification, natural stream drop structures, interactive low flow areas and
general improvements for wetlands and wildlife habitiat. Any modification or enhancement to the creek
corridor would be subject to U.S. Army Corp of Engineers approval. A strong east west oriented
pedestrian corridor with ground floor retail uses would be necessary to create a strong connection
between this area and the rest of Lionshead.

5.17.2 Vehicular Access and Circulation
In keeping with Policy Objective 2.3.4, Improved Access and Circulation, of the Plan, opportunities for
public transportation and vehicular circulation improvements shall be explored in conjunction with any
future redevelopment of the South Frontage Road and interior roads within the redevelopment of the
West Lionshead sites. Possible opportunities for improvements may include improved mass transit
stops, relocated/reduced/shared points of entry/exiting, restricted access points, acceleration/
deceleration lanes, roundabouts at major intersections, greater sight distances, dedicated turning lanes,
landscaped medians and skier drop-off.
It is essential that Ever Vail provide safe and efficient access points from the road networks
adjacent to the site. Legal and physical access to the ERWSD site shall be provided by Ever Vail
property owners through Ever Vail to accommodate current uses and future development of the
ERWSD property.
The design for the relocated South Frontage Road anticipates the construction of a roundabout
that connects the South Frontage Road to the North Frontage Road via the Simba Run
underpass. To accommodate this roundabout, the South Frontage Road will need to include
retaining walls to facilitate a drop in elevation as it moves west (see figure 5-21b). The Simba
Run underpass will cross beneath 1-70 and provide an additional connection between the north
and south sides of Vail.

Ever Vail shall comply with the loading and delivery requirements of the Vail Town Code.
Loading and delivery within Ever Vail shall comply with Section 4.7, Loading and Delivery, of this
Master Plan. Service and delivery truck turning maneuvers shall not negatively impact traffic
flow on the South Frontage Road, West Forest Road or Market Street. With a realignment of
vehicular access points, attention should be given to the location of service and parking areas.
5.17.3 Parking
Ever Vail shall be developed as a commercial core that includes mixed use development,
pedestrian streets and plazas, direct access to transit options, bicycle and pedestrian
connections and access to Vail Mountain. As a commercial core, Ever Vail should be
incorporated into the Town's adopted commercial core parking areas, which allow for reduced
parking requirements due to proximity to mixed use development. Ever Vail shall meet the
parking requirements of the Vail Town Code. The appropriate parking requirements for ski lifts
and other potential land uses that do not have a specified parking requirement will be determined
by the Planning and Environmental Commission.
Section 2.4: Ground Rules for the Master Planning Process, states that there shall be no net loss
of parking spaces now existing in Lionshead. Ever Vail must include parking spaces to offset
displaced existing parking from the former gas station site and Maintenance Yard/ Holy Cross
Site in accordance with section 4.8.1. These spaces are in addition to parking required by the
Vail Town Code and any public parking spaces provided by Ever Vail.
Without including parking spaces required for the proposed gondola, as determined by the
Planning and Environmental Commission, if any, Ever Vail shall include an additional 400 public
parking spaces, as identified in section 4.1.5: West Lionshead — Residential/Mixed Use Hub.
These spaces will address long-term public parking needs, including the Town's goal to eliminate
parking from the South Frontage Road as further detailed in Section 4.8.3.3b of this master plan.
During development and phasing of Ever Vail, there will be periods of time when surface parking
lots and staging areas may be necessary to meet skier parking and construction needs. Surface
parking lots shall not be maintained as a long-term solution to meeting parking demand. The
construction of a portion of the additional 400 parking spaces should be explored by Vail Resorts
and the Town of Vail, within Lionshead, in conjunction with the Ever Vail development.
Skier drop-off is an essential component of a successful ski portal. Skier drop-off at Ever Vail
improves the guest's and local's experience. The transit facility in Ever Vail should
accommodate 10 to 14 short-term or skier drop-off parking spaces. Short-term parking is a key
aspect to community commercial uses, allowing customers to quickly and conveniently patronize
establishments. Outside of skier drop-off and pick-up during peak periods, these spaces could be
utilized as short-term parking serving the commercial uses in close proximity, such as the
grocery store.
Skier drop-off spaces are also envisioned in the parking structure on the west side of Ever Vail.
Approximately 50 parking spaces should be available for short-term parking and skier drop-off
when not in use for children's ski school activities, which traditionally occur one day per week in
the winter. These short-term parking spaces, given their location approximately 500 feet from the
gondola, would provide skier drop-off capacity in the event the short-term spaces in the transit
facility are displaced due to expansion of bus activity.
May 1, 2018 - Page 39 of 269
5.17.4 Public Transportation
Public transportation is an essential element to successfully connect Ever Vail to other portals,
neighborhoods, and down valley communities. Ever Vail needs to provide access for in -town bus
service, outlying bus service, ECO Transit buses plus hotel and lodge shuttles.
Transit facilities are essential to facilitate the use of public transit, reduce parking demand and
provide transit connections for employees living in Ever Vail. Adequate transit provides an
opportunity for employees, skiers, visitors and residents to connect Ever Vail with other
neighborhoods and communities. Ever Vail shall include a transit facility located adjacent to the
relocated South Frontage Road pursuant to section 1.3.5, which recommends creating dispersed
transit facilities in Lionshead. This facility shall be designed to accommodate the Town's
outlying bus routes as well as regional bus routes within a covered facility on the ground floor. It
is anticipated that the transit facility will accommodate a minimum of four bus bays. In the long-
term and as necessary, the facility may transition to up to 12 buses utilizing a pull off on the
South Frontage Road. The transit facilities are envisioned as a bus stop facility with very short
dwell times.
An area accommodating up to two in -town buses should be located on the eastern end of Ever
Vail (see figure 5-22). Ever Vail should also provide a hotel and lodge shuttle drop-off area to
accommodate visitors from other locations within Vail. The drop-off area should be a surface
location on the west side of Ever Vail. The bus stop and drop-off area shall be enhanced with
shelters, benches, landscaping and other similar improvements.

5.17.5 Gondola and Vail Mountain Portal
Ever Vail shall include a gondola, which will transport visitors, guests, and residents to Vail
Mountain. A gondola will make Ever Vail a mountain portal and will enhance the benefits of Ever
Vail to guests, locals and employees. The gondola will be located adjacent to Gore Creek and will
generally travel to the base of the current Chair 26 where a new mid -station will be located. The
gondola will replace Chair 26 and generally terminate in the Eagle's Nest area of Vail Mountain.
The gondola route will likely require easements and other approvals from the Town of Vail when
the route crosses Town -owned properties.

5.17.6 Pedestrian and Bike Access
As compared to a separate, free-standing portal, West Lionshead Ever Vail is considered a part of the
greater Lionshead area. in order for this area to be successful, it is important to have a strong
pedestrian connection with the rest of Lionshead.
Streetscape improvements including bike lanes or trails and sidewalks should be incorporated in any
redevelopment along West Lionshead Circle and the South Frontage Road to improve the viability of
mixed uses in West Lionshead Ever Vail. Improvements to street lighting, walking surfaces, trails,
seating areas and public art that facilitate safe and attractive pedestrian and bike movement are strongly
encouraged. Said improvements may necessitate the need for access easements through the sites. In
the redevelopment of West Lionshead Ever Vail, pedestrian and bike connections shall be made to
integrate with the rest of Lionshead and Cascade Village.
Pedestrian and bicycle enhancements shall include a new bridge connecting the Gore Creek Trail
to Ever Vail, the redevelopment of the pedestrian bridge on the west side of Ever Vail, path
enhancements to the Gore Creek Trail connection into Cascade Village, and a path connecting to
the relocated South Frontage Road. All pedestrian path improvements must meet Town of Vail
recreation path standards and provide a safe and attractive pedestrian and bike experience. The
ability to traverse the site as a pedestrian or on a bicycle from west to east without the need to
utilize an escalator, stairs or dismount should be considered in the design and evaluated in the
context of all other bicycle and pedestrian connections. There is an existing recreation path that
runs across the southwest comor of tho Glon Lyon Of co Building sito. If tho sito rodovolops tho
ottractivo podostrian and bike experience. The improvements shall include a public easement over the
paths where necessary.
Pedestrian connections between Ever Vail and West Lionshead Circle shall be improved to
provide safe and attractive pedestrian crossings. Improvements may include raised crosswalks,
change in paving material, safe harbors, medians, and signage. See figure 5-22c for the
conceptual pedestrian and bicycle circulation plan.

Figure 5-22c: Conceptual Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation
5.17.7 Public Spaces and Plazas
Within Ever Vail, pedestrian plazas and walkways are essential to create an extension of
Lionshead where pedestrianization has been a key element of success. Elements of successful
public spaces include portals, edge definers, public space definers, landmarks and public art.
These place -making elements improve pedestrian circulation and provide aesthetically pleasing
places to congregate. They further enhance the livability of Ever Vail for employees, residents
and guests. The creation of gateways and portals is encouraged as a basic component of
redevelopment, especially in transition areas between different domains, or public, semi-public,
and private areas. It is essential that public spaces and plazas are not shaded by buildings at
peak use times. Further sun shade analysis will need to occur in order to ensure public spaces
and plazas are not shaded and unwelcoming to users. Outdoor dining decks are encouraged to
bridge the gap between public and private space and provide vibrancy to the adjacent streets,
walkways and plazas as further detailed in section 4.10 of this Plan. Chapter 8, Architectural
Design Guidelines, provides guidelines for these elements to ensure they are successfully
implemented.
Elements of the natural environment need to interact with public spaces in order to connect the
urban and natural environments. Within Ever Vail, the improvements to Red Sandstone Creek, as
further detailed in section 5.17.10, will provide public spaces for recreation and congregation that
connect Ever Vail with the natural environment, as recommended by section 1.3.3.
Provisions should be made for public access to streets, paths and plazas through easements or
similar mechanisms to create a perceived public domain in Ever Vail. Additional dedications
and/or easements are necessary to facilitate the use of property by the public.

5.17.8 5.17.3 Preservation of Existing Office and Retail Space
Section 4.1.5: West Lionshead- Residential/Mixed Use Hub requires There shall be an increase in
office space and no net loss of retail space in West Lionshoad Ever Vail. Opportunities for increasing the
square footage of office and retail beyond the existing conditions in West Lionshead Ever Vail shall be
evaluated during the development review process. Currently, West Lionshead offices and businesses in
Cascade Crossing, Vail Professional Building and the Glen Lyon Office Building offer a variety of
local services and amenities, which is important to preserve with the redevelopment of West Lionshead
Ever Vail. During the winter months, the proposed gondola ski lift in West Lionshead Ever Vail and the
associated parking will generate significant pedestrian traffic and activity. However, consideration shall
,sh-ewki be given to how West Lionshead Ever Vail can be an active and vibrant place year-round.
One way this can be accomplished is the reinforcement of a well -crafted program of specialty retailers,
offices, and restaurants that attract both tourists and local residents. Also, quality architecture and the
creation of appealing outdoor spaces in and of itself will encourage people to visit this area. An active
program of public art, residential units that are used for "artists in residence" or a culinary school are
examples of uses that could create a catalyst for activity. In conjunction with any application to develop a
new ski lift, a market study which analyzes the appropriate amount of officelretail square footage shall be
included in the redevelopment of West Lionshead Ever Vail. A fiscal and economic analysis was
completed in December 2010 and is further discussed in section 5.17.9. Depending on the length
of phasing, this report may need to be updated.
There is approximately 30,000 sq. ft. of office space and 15,000 sq. ft. of retail space within the
Glen Lyon Office Building, Cascade Crossings, and Vail Professional Building properties. This
office space should be replaced within Ever Vail on the parcel located east of Red Sandstone

Creek to provide maximized connectivity of commercial uses to the rest of Lionshead. In order to
implement this policy, Ever Vail should include at least 34,000 square feet of office space and
30,000 square feet of retail space.
5.17.9 Development Pattern, Program and Uses
In December of 2010, a Fiscal and Economic Analysis of Ever Vail was prepared by Economic
Planning Systems. The analysis found that Ever Vail will likely produce positive fiscal and
economic benefits to the Town. Ever Vail should reflect the recommendations of this analysis,
namely that retail and restaurant space should be limited to approximately 55,000 to 65,000
square feet in order to create an economically viable commercial project complementary to the
existing core commercial areas in Vail. Additional recommendations include the provision of hot
beds, meeting space and a grocery store in Ever Vail.
The land uses envisioned within Ever Vail are those allowed by the Lionshead Mixed Use 2 zone
district. Ever Vail will include multiple separate above -grade buildings constructed above two
below -grade structures with the bulk and mass conceptually shown in figure 5-23 below.

Ever Vail west of Red Sandstone Creek should be a residential neighborhood devoid of extensive
retail or restaurant uses. However, several non-residential uses should be located on the west
side, including, but not limited to, public parking, a space for community recreational activities, a
children's ski program meeting area, and other ancillary resort related uses. The concentration of
residential land uses on the west side of Ever Vail will serve as a population base for the
commercial components within the east side of Ever Vail and for other commercial core areas.
in furtherance of Policy Objectives 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, Ever Vail shall include a hotel and a 10,000-
15,000 square foot grocery store. These uses were identified in the economic and fiscal analysis
as critical elements to the success of Ever Vail. A hotel brings life and energy to Ever Vail and
improves the Town's inventory of "live" or "hot" beds, producing increased revenue to the Town.
A nightclub or other entertainment facility would be a good addition to the east side of Ever Vail
to provide a year-round use that has largely disappeared with the redevelopment of other
properties in Town.
Ever Vail provides an opportunity to relocate the Vail Resorts warehousing, office, and
vehicle/snowcat maintenance facilities currently located on the property to a below -grade facility
connecting to the snowcat access bridge and trail to Vail Mountain. An alternative location for
these facilities is on Vail Mountain instead of within Ever Vail.
A number of conditional land uses may be appropriate in Ever Vail, subject to the approval of
conditional use permits. These uses may include a ski lift (gondola), public parking facilities,
conference and meeting rooms, residential uses on the first floor, recreational uses, and office
uses. As identified in section 4.1.5, a ski lift is envisioned as a catalyst for the redevelopment of
this site and more specifically, for the development of a structured public parking facility.
5.17.10 5.17.4 Relationship to Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek
Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek abut the Ever Vail project. The realignment of the South
Frontage Road provides increased opportunity to enhance these streams as community
resources. Portions of Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek shall be enhanced with the
preservation of wetland areas and enhancements to make these areas community resources of
Ever Vail and the Town (see figure 5-24). in conjunction with the review of a specific plan for Red
Sandstone and Gore Creeks Town reviewing authorities should consider to what extent it is
appropriate to locate improvements such as walkways and bridges in these riparian corridors
verses allowing the creeks to remain in a more natural state. The project will preserve large trees
and the relocate others where practical (see figure 5-24a). Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek
abut tho Glan Lyon Offico Building sito, formor gas station sita, Holy Cross sito and tho Vail Profossional
Building site. Any redevelopment of these parcels should consider how the creeks can be enhanced and
made an amenity of this redevelopment area. /l substantial stand of mature trees exists on the banks of
the two creeks, with low lying brush on the shores. Every effort shall be taken to preserve the substantial
• - - - While the natural riparian corridor of
these streams needs to remain protected and preserved, the physical and visual relationships and
references between adjacent development and the stream tract should be strengthened. Improved
public access and utilization of Gore Creek and Red Sandstone Creek for fishing and other recreational
purposes is strongly encouraged to create a catalyst for activity and enjoyment of the streams in
furtherance of Policy Objective 2.3.2 and as recommended by section 1.3.3. Enhancements such
as stream bank stabilization/ beautification, natural stream drop structures, interactive low flow
areas and general improvements for wetlands and wildlife habitat are strongly encouraged. Any
modification or enhancement to the creek corridor shall be subject to U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers and Town of Vail approval. Development impacts imposed upon the creeks shall be
mitigated. The stream health of Red Sandstone Creek during and post -construction shall not be
degraded below pre -construction levels. The determination of steam health shall be measured
May 1, 2018 - Page 46 of 269
for the extents of the Ever Vail project and not include impacts of development north of the
interstate. Indicators of stream health can include, but not be limited to, aquatic life, suspended
sediment, concentration of various elements, etc.
Ever Vail shall include a public open space easement along Red Sandstone Creek generally
following the 100 -year floodplain line, as recommended by the Town's Comprehensive Open
Lands Plan and in furtherance of Policy Objective 2.3.3: Vitality and Amenities. This open space
easement also implements the recommended actions of section 1.3.3 by improving connections
with the natural environment and by creating green landscape corridors that penetrate into the
Lionshead environment.

5.17.11 Employee Housing
Employee housing has been identified as critical need within the Town of Vail. Employee
housing provides an employee base within close proximity to jobs. Employee housing within the
Town provides environmental, socia! and economic benefits including reduced traffic, increased
transit use, improved livability and a strengthened sense of community.
Section 4.9.4.3 West Lionshead identifies Ever Vail as an appropriate site to create dispersed
employee housing opportunities for permanent local residents. Ever Vail is an appropriate site
for employee housing due to its proximity to jobs, Vail Mountain, transit and the commercial
cores. Community commercial uses, such as the grocery store, should be included in Ever Vail
to accommodate the needs of employees living on site.
Ever Vail shall meet the adopted Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning regulations to
mitigate the development impact of employee generation. The provision of on-site employee
housing must be coordinated with the Ever Vail construction phasing plan.
5.17.12 Development Standards
5.17.12.1 Building Height
Buildings in Ever Vail shall comply with the height limits of the Lionshead Mixed Use 2
District. Notwithstanding the height allowances of zoning, buildings shall generally "step
down" as they approach Gore Creek and the western end of Ever Vail (see figures 5-25, 5-
25a and 5-25b). Buildings along Gore Creek and the western end of Ever Vail shall
21

express no more than two to three stories before "stepping back" to taller building mass.
All buildings shall be articulated to avoid large expanses of shearlunbroken wall planes,
as per section 8.4.2.3.
The pedestrian area connecting the transit facility on the north end of Ever Vail to the
gondola on the south end of Ever Vail shall be considered a Primary Retail Pedestrian
Frontage for the purpose of measuring building height and "step backs" as described in
section 8.4.2.3 of the design guidelines.

5.17.12.2 Setbacks
Setbacks are necessary to provide a buffer between Ever Vail and adjacent properties.
Setbacks provide areas for landscaping, public art and other improvements that help
reduce the scale of buildings and further connect the urban and natural environments.
Along the South Frontage Road, the above -grade setbacks should be significant enough
to accommodate mature trees to buffer Ever Vail from the South Frontage Road and 1-70.
Trees and other landscaping must be integrated into the Ever Vail setbacks rather than
only in adjacent street right-of-ways in order to ensure landscaping remains should the
right-of-way be utilized for roads or utilities.
To facilitate subterranean parking structures, below -grade setbacks could approach the
Ever Vail property boundaries. Shoring may need to occur on adjacent properties.
However, footings and foundations, etc. should be located within the Ever Vail property
boundaries.
Because Ever Vail is one development site, zoning only dictates the setbacks around the
perimeter of Ever Vail and does not regulate the separation of buildings internal to the site.
Special attention should be paid to the sun shade analysis to ensure that buildings have
adequate separation and allow sunlight to penetrate public outdoor spaces such as
walkways and plazas. Figure 5-25c depicts the spatial relationships between buildings,
setbacks and landscaping.
Figure 5-25c: Conceputal Landcaping Plan
5.17.12.3 Landscaping
Landscaping serves many purposes, including the provision of shade, aesthetic
enhancement, storm water management and a connection to the natural environment.
Landscaped areas also provide snow storage, seating areas and visual variation.
It is recognized that Ever Vail may include extensive below -grade building site coverage.
Landscaping installed over underground structures may be calculated as landscape area
when it is permanent and provides adequate soil depth to allow vegetation maturity.
24
10/18/2011
7-2-24
May 1, 2018 - Page 51 of 269
However, landscaping over underground structures does not contribute adequately to
stormwater management and additional measures will need to be taken to address this
issue. Non -permanent landscaping such as potted plants have proven to be ineffective in
achieving the intent of the Town's landscaping requirements and are strongly
discouraged.
Mature trees mitigate the visual impacts of buildings. Large trees should be planted on
the north end of Ever Vail to provide a buffer along the South Frontage Road. It is
understood that in order to relocate the South Frontage Road and to develop Ever Vail,
existing trees will need to be removed. Where possible, existing trees should be relocated
rather than removed.
Figure 5-25d: Conceptual Landscape Plan
5.17.12.4 Site Coverage
Redevelopment in Lionshead has commonly included below -grade structures to facilitate
subterranean parking, storage and loading and delivery. Often, the footprint of these
below -grade structures is larger than the buildings constructed above. Ever Vail may
include two below -grade parking structures that will constitute the majority of the site
coverage on the site. The anticipated Ever Vail site coverage is further depicted in figure
5-25e.

5.17.13 5.17.5 Architectural improvements
The architectural design guidelines (Chapter 8) discuss several transition tools that can be used to adapt
an existing building to the new character and architectural quality desired for Lionshead. Given the high
visibility of the buildings in West Lionshead Ever Vail and the extent to which they influence the quality of
the experience of passers-by, all future development of the sites should be closely scrutinized for
compliance with the applicable architectural design guidelines.
The architectural design guidelines identify the architectural qualities desired in Lionshead. Ever
Vail should have a unique architectural character that may be a contemporary expression of
alpine architecture. It should nevertheless compliment the materials, forms and style of more
traditional Vail architecture_
For properties that are east of Red Sandstone Creek, in West Lionshead, higher densities and building
heights may be appropriate, particularly to encourage the development of employee housing. However,
any development roust meet the overall character and visual intent of this master plan and be compatible
with the adjacent existing development of the Marriott Ritz-Carlton Residences and the Vail Spa.
Notwithstanding the height allowances of the underlying zone districts. building height and massing shall

The Town has adopted an Environmental Strategic Plan that outlines goals, objectives and
policies to promote green building. Ever Vail shall incorporate green building principles and
techniques. Ever Vail should be designed, constructed and operated to achieve green design
principles. To accomplish green building, it may be necessary to provide flexibility from Chapter
8: Architectural Design Guidelines. For example, flat roof areas may be incorporated more than
typically permitted to allow space for solar energy devices.

I. EverVail Project Overview
EverVail is generally located to the west of Lionshead and to the east of Cascade, and south of 1-70.
Current uses on the site include the Vail Resorts maintenance yard, office buildings, commercial
development, and Vail Resorts parking.
The EverVail master plan area is based on the
relocation of the South Frontage Road from
its current location to a location adjacent to
the 1-70 corridor. This allows Vail Resorts to
consolidate parcels and use the vacated
South Frontage Road right-of-way into a
development site of 12.617 acres / 549,574
sq. ft.
The existing parcels/buildings as indicated on
the aerial include the Vail Resorts
maintenance yard (1), the Vail Professional
Building (2), Cascade Crossing Shopping
Center (3), the Glen Lyon Office Building (4),
and the West Day Parking Lot (5).
The EverVail review process was initiated
with the Town of Vail in 2007 and was
reviewed in approximately 30 meetings and
hearings with the Town and the community. In 2012, the Town of Vail approved Ordinances 7, 8, and 9
of 2011 and Resolution 35 of 2012, which set the stage for the initial approvals necessary to relocate
the Frontage Road, consolidate the parcels through a preliminary subdivision plan, rezone the site to
Lionshead Mixed Use -2, and approve the general master plan for the site.
Site of EverVail, with existing parcels indicated
The development plan was generally
divided into four distinct neighborhoods,
which all sit above multiple levels of
underground parking and mountain
operations services:
• Eastside Residential: a pedestrian -
friendly, townhouse style residential
neighborhood, which conceptually
includes a specialty grocery and live
music venue. This neighborhood is to
serve as the connection back into
Lionshead.
• Central Plaza: the active commercial Proposed gondola connection to Eagle's Nest
core of EverVail, with an
2
May 1, 2018 - Page 87 of 269
approximately 100 -room hotel and new gondola. The pedestrian plaza is lined with restaurants and
skier -oriented retail and services. It also includes the new transit center and skier drop-off facility.
• Creekside: this area includes enhancements to Red Sandstone Creek along with a new pedestrian
and bicycle bridge over Gore Creek. This area also conceptually includes an indoor climbing wall
and other youth -oriented services.
• Westside Residential: a quiet family-oriented residential neighborhood with deed -restricted
employee housing interspersed with free-market residential units.

Parking envisioned for the proposed uses is outlined in the following table. These numbers were based
on a specific conceptual development plan and are provided to give some perspective the amount of
parking potentially required. The residential and commercial parking requirements are as generally
required by the Zoning Regulations for commercial core areas. There are two additional parking
requirements indicated on the chart which are requirements of the EverVail project: 400 spaces for
public skier parking, which was a proposed public benefit, and 283 spaces required to satisfy the "no
net loss of parking" required by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan that reflect the loss of
previously available quasi -public parking. This analysis is a break down of parking as conceptually
envisioned based on the mix of uses proposed.

II. Existing Approvals by the Town of Vail
• Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Amendment: The entirety of EverVail was included within
the study boundaries of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (LHRMP). The amendments to
the LHRMP were generally adopted to establish an overall conceptual development plan for the
site, upon which any future development applications should be based. The development plan
includes the relocation of the Frontage Road and the general alignment of the Simba Run
roundabout (construction to begin this summer). It also outlines the some of the parking -related
exactions required of the project, including the requirement for 400 public skier parking spaces,
10-14 short-term skier drop-off spaces in the transit facility, and an additional 50 short-term drop-
off spaces for children's ski school activities. Other exactions and requirements include the transit
facility, the pedestrian and bicycle bridge over Gore Creek, and preservation of existing office and
retail space implemented
through replacement. The
LHRMP, though a guiding
document, requires certain
uses to be located within 441
EverVail, such as a hotel with
100-120 rooms, and grocery
store of 10,000-15,000 sq. MAx ,.,, , ;, , � , •
ft.. Building height is also
prescribed by the LHRMP,
with maximum heights
stepping down to the west,
as indicated on the following
plan from the LHRMP.
Additionally, the LHRMP
adopted view corridors
through the development,
into which buildings cannot
encroach. Lastly, the LHRMP requires that development in EverVail be designed, constructed, and
operated to achieve green design principles. See Section III for a more detailed list of potential
exactions and public benefits.
Maximum building height limitations from the LHRMP
• Major Subdivision (Preliminary Plan): Resolution No. 35, Series of 2012 approved the preliminary
plan for the major subdivision, consolidating the Holy Cross Lot, Vail Resorts Maintenance Yard, Vail
Professional Building, Cascade Crossing, Glen Lyon Office Building, former BP gas station (now West
Day Parking Lot), and the Frontage Road right-of-way. A final plat will need to be reviewed and
approved by the Town of Vail, is required to be submitted after the relocation and construction of
the South Frontage Road, and must be submitted and approved by December 31, 2020 in order for
the zoning of property, as Lionshead Mixed Use 2, to be applied to the properties. The Town
Council will also review the final plat without review and approval by the Planning and
Environmental Commission, pursuant to an agreement between the Town of Vail and the applicant.
• Zone District Boundary Amendment: Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2011 approved the zoning of the
entirety of the property Lionshead Mixed Use -2. The Vail Maintenance Center and West Day
5
May 1, 2018 - Page 90 of 269
Parking Lot were previously zoned Lionshead Mixed Use -2. The current right-of-way is unzoned and
other parcels are zoned Arterial Business District (Cascade Crossings and Vail Professional Building)
and SDD #4 (Glen Lyon Office Building) as indicated on the following:
The Lionshead Mixed Use -2 zone district is intended generally allow for mixed-use development,
incorporating horizontal zoning with generally commercial uses on the first floor with residential
uses, including multiple -family, hotel, timeshare units, etc. above. It was adopted to provide
incentives for properties to redevelop and as a result the development standards relatively flexible
and provide significant development potential. EverVail is the only area of town that the Lionshead
Mixed Use -2 zone district is applied to, while the remainder of Lionshead is zoned Lionshead Mixed
Use -1. The rezoning does not become effective until the South Frontage Road is relocated and the
final plat for the Ever Vail subdivision is approved, signed, and recorded, and grants 8 years for the
applicant to do so (by December 31, 2020).

• SDD No. 4, Cascade Village, Major Amendment: Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2011 removed the
Glen Lyon Office Building from SDD No. 4 and allows property to be part of the EverVail project and
zoned Lionshead Mixed Use -2. This does not take effect until the Frontage Road is relocated and
the final plat is approved, signed, and recorded (by December 31, 2020).
• Core Area Parking Inclusion: Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2011 included EverVail within the Core
Area Parking designation, which generally reduces parking requirements due to proximity to transit
and public parking structures. This does not take effect until the Frontage Road is relocated and the
final plat is approved, signed, and recorded (by December 31, 2020).

May 1, 2018 - Page 94 of 269
III. Requirements/Exactions
• South Frontage Road and Simba Run Roundabout: The relocation of the South Frontage Road is a
requirement for the zoning and subdivision to take effect. The relocation includes connection to
the new Simba Run under pass and roundabout and a roundabout at the east end of the EverVail
project as well.
• Employee Housing to meet Inclusionary Zoning and Commercial Linkage Requirements: The Town
of Vail has two adopted employee housing requirements - inclusionary zoning and commercial
linkage. Inclusionary zoning requires an additional 10% of the GRFA of the project to be deed
restricted as employee housing. The commercial linkage requirement is based on a calculation of
the total employees generated by the commercial development of the project. Based on the then
conceptual development plans, this equates to a total of approximately 74,000 sq. ft. of employee
housing. The Town then requires that 50% or 37,000 sq. ft. of the requirement be located on-site.
The Town's requirement for employee housing is a deed -restriction that restricts occupancy to a
full-time Eagle County employee, employed 30 hours a week. There are no required price
appreciation caps, no income restrictions, and units can be sold or rented to employees.
• Transit and Skier Drop-off Facilities: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan includes a
requirement for substantial transit facilities, which includes the ability to accommodate a minimum
of four buses and 10-14 skier drop-off spaces. The project must also accommodate hotel shuttle
drop-off and children's skier services drop-off, though these are not required to be located within
the same facility.
• Public Parking: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan outlines the requirement for 400 public
parking spaces, in addition to the parking required for all of the various uses proposed on the site.
The master plan also recommends approximately 50 short-term parking spaces for skier drop-off
that could be shared with other uses during off-peak times.
• Gondola: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan requires a gondola to access Vail Mountain.
• Preservation of Existing Office and Retail Space: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
recommends the 30,000 sq. ft. of office space and 15,000 sq. ft. of retail space currently existing on
the site be replaced and/or increased within EverVail.
• Hotel and Other Uses: Certain uses are required to be located within EverVail, including a 100-120
room hotel, conference and meeting space, and a 10,000-15,000 sq. ft. grocery store, Other uses,
such as a nightclub or entertainment facility are recommended (not required) to be located within
EverVail. Loading and delivery for commercial uses must be enclosed within a structure.
• Riparian and Creek Improvements: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan requires
enhancement of both Red Sandstone and Gore Creek, including wetland preservation and
enhancement, stream bank stabilization and beautification, etc. These improvements are balanced
with the goal to improve public access and utilization of the streams for recreational purposes. A
public open space easement along Red Sandstone Creek is required of the project.
10
May 1, 2018 - Page 95 of 269
• Pedestrian and Bike Access: The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan encourages pedestrian
and bike access into the greater Lionshead area and necessitates public access easements
throughout the site. Required enhancements include a new bridge connecting the Gore Creek Trail
to Evervail, improvements to the existing pedestrian bridge over Gore Creek, path improvements to
the Gore Creek Trail connection into Cascade Village, and a path connecting to the South Frontage
Road where a continuous bike trail along the frontage is also required.

IV. Future Approvals Required by the Town of Vail
• Final Plat: The final plat for the EverVail subdivision is to be submitted, approved, and recorded by
December 31, 2020, and can only be done so after the South Frontage Road is relocated. It is this
action that allows all the previous zoning, subdivision, and parking approvals to take effect. The
final plat is reviewed and approved by the Town Council and does not require Planning and
Environmental Commission approval (by agreement between the Town of Vail and the applicant).
• Flood Plain Modification Permit: The flood plain modification permit is required for the road
relocation, new bridge, and any improvements within Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek flood
plains. The flood plain permit was approved in 2011 by the Planning and Environmental
Commission but expired in 2013. The flood plain permit is reviewed and approved by the Planning
and Environmental Commission and can be appealed or called -up by the Town Council.
• Major Exterior Alterations: The construction of any new building requires a major exterior
alteration. Major exterior alterations are reviewed and approved by the Planning and
Environmental Commission. The review is based on compliance with the Town of Vail Zoning
Regulations and Lionshead Redevelopment Master Pan. Major Exterior Alteration decisions can be
appealed or called -up by the Town Council.
• Conditional Use Permits: The private parking structure, residential uses on the 1st floor, office,
conference and meeting space, maintenance facility, transit center, and the gondola all require the
approval of conditional use permits. It was assumed these would be resubmitted with a
development plan at a later date. Conditional use permits are reviewed and approved by the
Planning and Environmental Commission. Conditional Use Permit decisions can be appealed or
called -up by the Town Council.
• DRB Review: All proposed development must be reviewed and approved by the DRB for
compliance with the Design Guidelines of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.

Community Relations Assistant, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District
DATE: April 20, 2018
RE: Draft Regional Water Efficiency Plan
Summary: Maureen Mulcahy will present an overview of the draft Eagle River Regional Water Efficiency
Plan and solicit feedback for possible inclusion in the final plan. The plan is a joint effort by the Eagle
River Water & Sanitation District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority that outlines actions we
can take to meet increasing regional water demands with available supply into the future in an
environmentally and fiscally responsible manner. The state of Colorado requires water providers that
meet a certain threshold, which includes both the district and authority, to have water efficiency plans. In
advance of a state -required public comment period, we are seeking input from essential community
partners so we can incorporate feedback into the final draft plan put out for public comment. As such, we
seek comments from council members and consultants, but no formal action is needed.
Background: The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority
provide drinking water to customers from East Vail to Cordillera using surface and groundwater sources,
such as the Eagle River and wells located in Vail and Edwards.
The district and authority are each a "covered entity" pursuant to §37-60-126(1)(a), C.R.S., that provide at
least 2,000 acre feet of retail water to their customers on an annual basis and are thus required, per
Colorado's Water Conservation Act of 2004, to have a Water Efficiency Plan on file with the state that has
been approved by the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Water efficiency planning analyzes current
water use; projects future needs; establishes conservation and efficiency goals; identifies programs that
meet the needs of our customers and that help us achieve the goals; and sets an implementation
schedule.
The district and authority boards adopted a joint resolution for development of a regional plan in
December 2016. The district and authority were awarded $49,990 in water efficiency grant funding by the
CWCB in March 2017 to assist with consulting costs related to plan development.
The CWCB requires a 30 -day public notice period for any plan submitted for approval. Prior to that, the
district and authority are conducting a stakeholder outreach period to inform community members about
the plan, engage them in the process, and incorporate their feedback into the plan in a meaningful way.
As the Town of Vail's water provider, the district views Town Council as a critical partner in this process.
The draft regional plan is included as an attachment to this memo.

1. INTRODUCTION
The Eagle River Valley community's quality of life and economic success are
dependent on its natural resources, including access to a sufficient quantity of
high-quality water. As the community continues to grow and thrive, it is
imperative that we actively plan and prepare to meet future challenges posed
by physical and regulatory environments in flux.
As committed environmental stewards, the Eagle River Water & Sanitation
District and Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority are prepared to meet
these challenges through foresight, specific planning efforts, and maintenance
of organizational flexibility. This plan is part of our organizations' overarching
commitment to long-range planning and preparedness. Other planning
examples include water rights reports which describe our ongoing evaluation
of our water supply and a master planning update effort that is currently
underway to evaluate and address system infrastructure and treatment needs.
This Water Efficiency Plan, referred to in this document simply as "the plan,"
focuses on the water needs of our community, also known as "water
demand." Water demand management is an environmentally and fiscally
responsible practice makes sure that we are efficiently using our current
water supply as a first step in meeting future needs. Preparing this plan has
allowed us to look back at the good work our community has done to
improve efficiency. This plan is also an opportunity to evaluate what we must
do now in order to align our water demands with available supply into the
future.
This new regional plan
builds on the Water
Conservation Plan
adopted by the district in
2012. FIGURE 1
demonstrates how
elements from that plan
are being carried forward
to build on our
community's successes.
The 2018 plan also directly
relates to our
organizations' water
demand management
program, established in
2014, which endeavors to
use our existing water
supply more efficiently
over time to serve an
expanding population
while protecting the
natural resource.

In the same way that the district and authority adapt our operations to
support customer needs and protect stream health, community stakeholders
must be prepared to participate in solutions that support the values of our
community and our natural environment. Achieving the goals set forth in this
plan will require both individual and collective engagement. The district and
authority continue to evaluate ways we can support our existing customers to
foster efficient use of water resources. We have also begun to explore how
we can work with land use partners to ensure the design of new
developments reflects the limited and precious nature of our water resource.
This plan evaluates future needs and outlines actions that will aid in securing
our community's water future.
Systems
The district and authority are both quasi -municipal corporations, making them
political subdivisions of the State of Colorado. Our organizations were formed
to provide necessary public services and operate in accordance with the
Special District Act (§32-1-101 et seq., Colorado Revised Statutes and §29-1-
204.2 C.R.S.). The district supplies water to Vail. The Wolcott area is also
included in the district's service boundary, and so the district may supply
water to future development in that area. The authority's water service area
includes the following: Arrowhead Metropolitan District, Town of Avon,
Bachelor Gulch Metropolitan District, Beaver Creek Metropolitan District,
Berry Creek Metropolitan District, Cordillera Metropolitan District, Eagle -Vail
Metropolitan District, Edwards Metropolitan District, and Traer Creek
Metropolitan District (Village at Avon). See FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 2. SERVICE AREAS
The district and authority have two of the most complex public water systems
in Colorado and face operational challenges including seasonal variations in
supply and demand, limited space for facilities, and rugged topography.
The district's water system consists of seven groundwater wells and one
treatment facility - the Gore Valley Drinking Water Facility. The authority's
system consists of ten groundwater wells and two treatment facilities - the
Avon Drinking Water Facility and the Edwards Drinking Water Facility. An
interconnecting pipeline connects the district and authority systems and
allows for water transfer between Vail and lower portions of the Valley.

2. HOW MUCH WATER OUR COMMUNITY USES
AND SAVINGS SUCCESSES
The district and authority have a longstanding track record of implementing
demand management and water efficiency measures dating back to at least
1995, when a Water Conservation Officer staff -position was created. By that
time, conservation programs were already in place, and included: free indoor
water conservation kits provided to customers; a certification program for
irrigation system professionals; educational programming; and irrigation
system maintenance, leak detection, and repair. The four categories of
conservation activities identified by the Colorado Water Conservation Board
(foundational, incentive, ordinance, and education programs) have continued
to expand since that time. Appendix A' provides a summary of new and
existing conservation activities.
PASSIVE SAVINGS
Water savings that have been achieved by district and authority
customers are the result of a combination of active water
conservation programs and passive savings. Over time, as fixtures
and appliances are upgraded with more efficient technology, some
water savings happens automatically. This is referred to as "passive"
savings, because it is a one-time upgrade, not requiring ongoing
customer behavior change.
The next section provides an overview of water use trends over time,
followed by a brief summary of the programs that have been successfully
implemented and, along with passive savings, have helped achieve the
efficiency savings realized to date.
Water Use Over Time and Savings To -Date
The district's 2012 plan evaluated water use data from 2003-2007; this data is
used as a baseline for calculating savings achieved since 2013 with the
implementation of the 2012 plan. This regional plan is the first water efficiency
plan for the authority, however, many of the programs identified in the
district's 2012 plan were implemented in the authority as well. These efficiency
programs reduced the amount of water needed per customer in 2017 by 15%
1 Appendix A summarizes all measures and programs evaluated under this plan, in accordance
with the state's statutory planning requirements (C.R.S. Sect 37-60-126).
2. How Much Water Our Community Uses and Savings Successes

DRAFT
in the authority and 10% in the district.2 This
equates to a reduced demand of 309 ac -ft in
the district and 769 ac -ft in the authority in
2017 through efficiency savings. These
efficiency savings have allowed total water use
for the authority to decline and total water use
for the district to remain consistent even
though the single-family equivalents served by
the system increased by 9% and 6%3,
respectively, since 2008. A single-family
equivalent (SFE) is a multiplier assigned to
each customer account for billing purposes.
The SFE is based on account characteristics
such as square footage for residential accounts
and meter size for business accounts.
These water savings are a significant
achievement that demonstrate the ongoing
commitment of our organizations and our
customers to use water more efficiently. In addition to reducing the amount of
water that has been diverted from our rivers and streams, the water savings
also reduce expenditures related to operating costs and updating
infrastructure, and have helped delay the need for developing new water
supplies. Water savings achieved by other water providers in Colorado with
active conservation programs have averaged water savings in the range of
10% to 15% over a similar timeframe. This indicates that our organizations'
demand management efforts are on par with the programs being
implemented by other utilities that have made a commitment to water
efficiency.
FIGURE 3 shows water demand trending for the district and authority over
time. Trends are for "metered use," or water delivered to customers. Many
factors may impact water demand, including weather and economics. Despite
the variability created by these factors, water demand has been trending
downward over time. Trends in the figure are shown for total use and use per
single-family equivalent. Total use trends are shown in acre-feet (ac -ft), which
is a commonly used measurement related to water supply and water system
planning. An acre-foot is the volume of water required to cover an acre one
foot deep (325,851 gallons).
The
total
amount of
water delivered
in the authority
was less in 2017 than
it was in 2008, even
though we had 9% more
customers. The total water
delivered in the district in
2017 was within a percent of
what it was in 2008, even
though we had 6% more
customers.
2 Savings were calculated by multiplying per -SFE use from 2003-2007 by the number of SFEs
in 2017 to establish what total use would have been in 2017 if per -SFE use had not decreased.
The difference between actual 2017 water use and that calculated number was ascribed to
efficiency savings. The average per -SFE use from 2003-2007 within the district was 209
gpd/SFE, while the average from 2013-2017 was 189 gpd/SFE, representing a 10% decrease. If
per -SFE use in 2017 was at 2003-2007 levels, an additional 309 ac -ft would have been used
in 2017. The average per -SFE use from 2003-2007 within the authority was 258 gpd/SFE,
while the average from 2013-2017 was 217 gpd/SFE, representing a 15% decrease. If per -SFE
use in 2017 was at 2003-2007 levels, an additional 769 ac -ft would have been used in 2017.
3 These numbers reflect the percent increase in number of SFEs served since 2008.

Implemented Conservation Programs
This section provides a brief summary of the programs that have been
successfully implemented and, along with passive savings, have helped
achieve the efficiency savings realized to date.
Advancing Data Collection and Analysis. Modern metering
ic) technology allows accurate measurement of our customers' water use.
We are in the process of implementing advanced metering
infrastructure (AMI) that will enable customers to monitor water use in near
real-time, empowering them to manage their use to meet their efficiency
goals. AMI technology can also be a valuable tool for identifying leaks and
enhancing goal -setting and tracking. The district and authority also employ
industry best practices such as regular meter testing, leak detection, and
ongoing analysis of system losses.
Targeting Non -Revenue Water. As a responsible steward of the water
resource, our organizations actively address system water losses, also
9 referred to as non -revenue water. These losses can be either `apparent'
losses (metering inaccuracies, data handling errors, or unauthorized use) or
`real' losses (physical water loss from leakage or storage tank overflows). A
certain quantity of loss is unavoidable because the water delivery system is
under physical pressure at all times in order to protect the water quality and
make delivery possible. The district established an interdepartmental
2. How Much Water Our Community Uses and Savings Successes Pg 5

DRAFT
committee in 2003 to address non -revenue water. The committee uses
industry standardized reporting methods to assess how well we are
maintaining, repairing, and rehabilitating our systems for leakage control. Our
organizations undertake projects identified by the committee to help our
operations stay within a target range. Recent projects include: advanced
metering at water production sites; new reporting mechanisms for water used
during system maintenance or for community needs like fire suppression
system testing; and ongoing leak detection efforts using acoustic technology.
Communicating the Value of Water through Rates. The district and
authority use conservation -oriented tiered water rates to
communicate the value of water to customers through pricing.
Customers are given a water use allowance within each tier based on their
property's assigned SFE multiplier. As the customer enters higher tiers, the
price of water per thousand gallons used increases. FIGURE 4 shows water use
monthly allowances for each tier for a typical residential customer. Pricing
signals are an effective way of communicating to customers that their use
may be inefficient. Customers whose use is in the higher tiers can save money
on water bills by addressing the cause of their high use, whether by installing
high -efficiency fixtures and appliances, updating their irrigation system
technology and management practices, or changing every day behavior to
reduce water use (for example, only running the dishwasher or washing
machine when there is a full load).

Outdoor Measures. As shown in FIGURE 5, approximately 95% of
water used indoors is returned to surface waterways, while only about
30% of water used outdoors is returned to the stream or river.
Therefore, indoor use is 5% consumptive, meaning that only 5% of what is
used is consumed and not returned to the environment, while outdoor use is
approximately 70% consumptive. Because outdoor use is approximately 14 -
times more consumptive than indoor use, it has the greatest impact on local
stream flows. Furthermore, outdoor use has a larger impact on the capacity of
in -basin reservoirs to release legally required flows in periods of drought.
Efficient outdoor water use is increasingly important as hotter, drier weather
becomes more of a norm than an outlier. Increasing the efficiency of outdoor
water use creates savings that may be used to support the demands of future
growth. We will continue to offer resources that are shown to have an impact
on reducing outdoor water use. We currently offer irrigation system
audits/consultations to empower customers to more efficiently manage their
outdoor water use and outdoor water efficiency devices, including garden
hose nozzles with automatic shut-off, soil moisture probes, and rain gauges.

key component to ensuring the
continued success of our water
demand management measures and helping
to achieve targeted water savings. We will
continue to provide education through
multiple channels including spots on local
radio, notices and articles in the Vail Daily,
social media posts, mailings, and
participation in community events, including
the Vail Farmers' Market.

3. BACKGROUND: GOAL SETTING, TYPES OF
CUSTOMERS, AND SFES
Goal -setting is a useful tool to assess water efficiency and track progress over
time. Also referred to as benchmarking, water efficiency targets, or
performance indicators, goal -setting assists with creating policies and can be
used as part of the screening process for potential programs.
One of the most common performance indicators used throughout the water
industry for evaluating efficiency in municipal systems is residential per
person water use, measured as gallons per capita per day (gpcd). However,
this metric is not directly applicable for many district and authority customers
because of variations in use due to seasonal occupancy and tourism. The
district and authority are implementing measures to collect additional
customer characteristics data to develop and refine goals for each customer
class. These measures are discussed in additional detail in Appendix B.
Since there are key differences in the ways that different types of customers
use water, goal -setting is performed by customer class. Each customer is
assigned one of the following categories, or classes (customer classes are
described in more detail in the corresponding sections):
Irrigation -only (IRR)
A summary of the proportional water use by each customer class, organized
by provider, is provided in FIGURE 6. Residential use is the leading water use
in both the district and the authority.

The district has one additional type of use not listed above, which includes
water used for snowmaking and water used for irrigation of the Vail Golf Club
golf course. This use type is not included in FIGURE 6 because it has some key
differences from other customer types and therefore is not addressed the
same way for the purposes of this plan. This use type is discussed further in
Section 4.4.

4. THE DATA AND THE ROADMAP
We are not asking our customers to use less water, we are
empowering our customers to waste less water.
This section outlines the unique characteristics and water use patterns of our
different types of customers. We have identified programs to address our
customers' specific needs in becoming more water efficient. We are not
asking our customers to use less water, we are empowering our customers to
waste less water.
The programs identified in this plan were selected to build upon past
successes and expand our efforts to meet our community's demand
management objectives. In addition to the priority programs identified in the
body of this plan, which have a customer engagement component, our
organizations also continue to refine our operations to meet conservation
goals. Appendix B provides some details on programs implemented internally
by the district and authority.
4.1 RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS
Residential customers include single-family homes, condominiums,
townhouses, duplexes, multiplexes, apartments, efficiency and
accommodation condo or hotel rooms, and mobile homes. This customer
category is the largest water user in the district and authority service areas
(FIGURE 6). Accordingly, residential customers are a key focus of demand
management measures being implemented under the plan. Residential
customers are described by efficiency -type categories for the purpose of
evaluating water use trends as part of this plan:
1 Homes that use more water indoors, referred to in this plan as
efficiency -type 1 homes. These homes typically have smaller irrigated
areas.
2 Homes that use more water outdoors, referred to in this plan as
efficiency -type 2 homes. These homes typically have larger irrigated
areas.
The graphs in this section show average water use information for type 1 and
type 2 homes located in the authority; average water use information for
homes located in the district is shown separately because the Vail area has
unique water use patterns, as discusses below, as well as separate water
rights from the authority. Efficiency -type 1 homes are typically located in
compact neighborhoods with more multi -unit complexes (e.g. condominiums,
apartments, and hotel rooms) and single-family homes with smaller lot sizes,
which tend to have less irrigated area per unit. Areas with more centralized
development and infill generally use less water per SFE as compared to areas
4. The Data and the Roadmap Pg 11
May 1, 2018 - Page 128 of 269
DRAFT
with dispersed development (FIGURE 7), typically making them more water -
conserving by design. Efficiency -type 2 homes tend to be located in more
dispersed neighborhoods, having more single-family detached homes with
larger lots. Homes with larger lots often have larger irrigated areas.
Recently, water providers throughout the state have begun evaluating what
type of developments minimize new demand on their systems. These studies
have found that the way in which we develop matters. More dense
developments with less irrigated area require less water and shift use indoors,
which is less impactful to the resource, as illustrated in FIGURE 5. However,
there are many aesthetically pleasing local examples of homes with larger lots
with minimized irrigated area. This is achieved through careful design that
incorporates native and adapted plants while maximizing the benefits from
irrigated area. Increasing efficiency is an important way to reduce waste
regardless of lot size or irrigated area, and we encourage homeowners of all
property types to incorporate water saving elements. Examples of water
saving elements include: upgrading to efficient fixtures and appliances;
reducing outdoor use by limiting turf area and incorporating native or
adapted water -wise plants into landscaping; and irrigating with an efficient
system that uses appropriate emitters and is run by a weather -based
controller.

May 1, 2018 - Page 129 of 269
DRAFT
Efficiency -type 2 residential customers use approximately 2.5 times as much
water outdoors as type 1 customers (FIGURE 8), mainly due to larger lot sizes.
This results in more year-to-year annual demand variation for type 2 homes
than for type 1 homes. FIGURE 7 shows that the average per -SFE demand for a
type 2 home significantly increased in 2012, when the summer was relatively
warm and precipitation was relatively low, while the average per -SFE demand
for a type 2 home stayed moderately stable. Though type 1 homes use less
water per -SFE, indoor uses for these homes are 1.4 times higher per -SFE than
indoor use in type 2 homes. This is likely related to higher occupancy rates as
well as a higher concentration of year-round residents in efficiency -type 1
homes. District homes use the least amount per -SFE on average, in part due
to smaller irrigated areas and a shorter growing season, as well as due to
passive savings from redeveloped or remodeled units.
Based on higher volume of water used for outdoor purposes in type 2 homes,
a focus on outdoor efficiency for these homes may result in a larger volume of
water savings. However, even customers with smaller irrigated areas, like type
1 homes, still have the opportunity to reduce water use with increased
efficiency. Our goal is to provide resources to help all of our customers
become more efficient, and identified programs are available for any home
where efficiency savings are possible.

Savings Objectives4
The district and authority have established the following objectives for
residential customers to help guide demand management efforts. See
Appendix for additional details on how our organizations plan to collect
additional data to continue to develop water use targets.
The Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community, which has been
adopted by the district and the authority, recommends promoting and
incentivizing efficient use of water in the interior and exterior of residential
buildings. Because water conservation reduces demand for both water and
energy, it can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Savings objectives and demand management programs identified in this
section of the plan are consistent with the Climate Action Plan.
1 Based on historical water use, growth projections, and a review of
goals set by similar communities, this plan establishes an outdoor water
use savings goal for authority type 2 areas of 0.75%/year, or a total
savings of 10% by the year 2030. Similarly, this plan establishes a goal
for the district and authority type 1 areas of 0.5%/year, or a total
savings of 7% by year 2030.
In part, this reduction goal may be achieved by bringing the water use
ratio for type 2 homes closer to 60% indoor and 40% outdoor. This is a
recommendation identified in the Colorado Water Plan, which was
created with stakeholder input from throughout the state and sets
measurable goals to help communities address projected future water
needs and track conservation progress. The Southwest Basin
Implementation Plan (BIP) identified achieving this ratio as a
measureable outcome and identified this as a goal for southwest
Colorado and the entire state by 2030.
On average, district homes and type 1 homes within the authority are in
line with this guidance; therefore, the outdoor water savings target
identified relates to use for type 2 homes. Though it may take longer
than the planning period to align with this goal, moving closer to this
target is achievable through the programs identified for this customer
group, including turf to native vegetation conversion, efficiency
upgrades, and alignment with maximum irrigated area provisions.
2 This plan establishes an indoor water use savings goal of 0.7%/year for
the authority and 0.5%/year for the district. This equates to a total
savings by the year 2030 of 9% in the authority and 7% in the district. A
slightly larger savings is anticipated in the authority because the
projected growth rate is higher and water -efficient new developments
are expected to contribute to the projected savings.
This goal may be achieved in part through offering targeted support
for affordable and multi -family developments where passive savings

DRAFT
through upgrades have not occurred and therefore have much higher
per -SFE use than other similar developments. FIGURE 9 shows use per
SFE data for a sampling of multi -family developments within the
district and authority service areas. Example 1 is affordable housing,
where monthly rent cannot exceed 40% of monthly salary and monthly
salary cannot exceed five times the monthly rent of each person.
Example 2 is affordable deed -restricted workforce housing. Example 3
is employee housing. Example 4 is Section 8 housing, where rental
rates are dependent on income and are subsidized. Example 5 is
restricted covenant workforce housing. Examples 6 and 7 are
affordable housing with restricted rental rates.
The figure demonstrates the dramatic water use reductions that can be
achieved through retrofits. These savings are reliable over the useful
life of the product since they depend on technology rather than
behavior change to save water. FIGURE 9 shows example 4 with a dark
blue line representing a property that was retrofitted in the early
2000s. Following the retrofit, per-unit water use was reduced from
almost 200 gpd/SFE to closer to 100 gpd/SFE. The per -SFE use after
retrofit was comparable to that of example 7 (light blue line) which is
relatively newer construction. Based on observations in our area, a goal
range for indoor use for this type of development is 80-120 gpd/SFE.
Examples 2 and 6 show water use for properties that have not been
retrofitted, so outdated fixtures are likely strongly related to water use
outside of the goal range. Significant savings are achievable with these
developments, and we will explore various ways to facilitate upgrades,
including the possibility for incentives, rebates, or other assistance as
appropriate.

Demand Management Programs
Following is a summary of programs to be implemented under this plan to
provide support to residential customers to improve water efficiency at their
homes. We are not asking our customers to save water by completely
changing their lifestyles, we are providing them with tools to reduce waste
while they continue to enjoy the things they value about living in this
community.
laOutdoor Incentives and Rebates. Water -efficient landscaping
incentives and rebates will continue to be offered for technology
upgrades that provide the ability to manage irrigation systems more
efficiently. The current giveaway program includes rain gauges, soil moisture
indicators, and automatic hose shutoff devices. In the future, incentives and
rebates may also be offered for weather -based controllers and rain shutoff
devices to promote more efficient irrigation. We will also evaluate offering
incentives and rebates for repairs and upgrades recommended through the
irrigation system consultations described below.
d4 d Irrigation System Consultations and Partnership with Irrigation
eyv Professionals. Even the most advanced irrigation system technology
requires ongoing maintenance and management by individuals who
understand how plant water needs change seasonally. Irrigation system
consultations have been provided to our customers since 2011. In the past,
district personnel were able to provide this service. However, due to
employee turnover and resource constraints, our organizations partnered with
a nonprofit to offer this as a third -party service to customers on a pilot basis
starting in 2017. The district and authority will explore building local
partnerships and internal expertise to offer this type of service to customers.
Local capacity of potential partners has been a barrier in the past, so ways to
partner to build capacity will be explored. We think partnership will be the
most efficient use of resources to effectively offer this service to a wider
customer base. This service is very valuable in helping to reduce customer
water use by improving sprinkler system efficiency. Our experience so far has
indicated that for this type of program to be successful in our area, in addition
to homeowner buy -in, landscaper and property manager participation is
critical. This program may involve offering training as well as exploring other
ways to connect local landscaper and property management professionals
with the skills, knowledge, and resources they need for efficient irrigation
system management and scheduling techniques.
41111, Turf to Native Vegetation Conversion Program. A program for
promoting the conversion of high-water use landscapes to low-water
4110 use plantings is under consideration. It is anticipated that the program
will be coordinated with the Town of Vail and other interested land use
partners to maximize benefits associated with water savings, riparian habitat
restoration, and storm water detention and filtering. Minimum requirements
for area, landscape preparation, and installation will be developed to promote
the success of the program. We will also work to connect our customers to
resources related to recommended native and adapted plants for our area.
4. The Data and the Roadmap Pg 16
May 1, 2018 - Page 133 of 269
DRAFT
Aik Indoor Incentives. Since approximately 1994, the district and
authority have funded giveaway programs that provide customers
with educational materials and indoor products such as faucet
aerators, low -flow showerheads, and toilet flappers. We expect to continue
these programs with a shifted focus toward promoting fixture replacement in
multi -family, low-income, and workforce housing units, as discussed in the
residential savings objectives section of this plan, because passive
replacement may be less likely for these units.
Customer Engagement. There are very powerful customer
engagement platforms that can help customers understand their
water use, set efficiency goals, and learn how their water use
compares to neighbors. These platforms can even automatically notify
homeowners to high use events, alert homeowners to possible leaks, and
provide the necessary resources and information to identify and repair the
issue. This type of software platform offers a valuable expansion of our
existing high use and leak notification program. We began piloting this
platform in 2017, and hope to begin to offer this platform more widely in 2018
to allow our customers to access these features on their mobile device or
computer. Generally, our customers understand what a valuable resource our
water is and want to use it wisely. It is our job to provide them with the tools
they need to understand their use and make small changes that can lead to
big savings.
We are working to develop water budgets based on the specifics of individual
customer properties in order to help both our organizations and homeowners
understand where the most room for improvement exists. We hope to
implement water budgets beginning in 2020. Appendix B describes the
process of developing water budgets in greater detail.
Coordination with Land Use Authorities. As water providers, our
organizations do not have land use authority. That authority rests with
local jurisdictions, including Eagle County, the Town of Avon, the Town
of Vail, and various metropolitan districts and homeowners associations.
Coordination with our land use partners in approval processes, outdoor
landscape planning, and development of land use ordinances, is critical to
meeting our demand management goals. Water -smart developments
incorporate water efficiency practices and recognize that the way our
community develops impacts how much water will be needed to support
growth. For instance, more compact development that encourages infill and
revitalization over sprawl has a smaller water foot print. The same is true for
developments that are designed to work within the natural environment by
incorporating native and adaptive landscapes.
The district and authority have initiated efforts to collaborate with local land
use authorities (LUAs) regarding the potential for incorporating measures to
promote water efficiency in new development. The utilities and local LUAs
recently participated in a three-day workshop hosted by the Sonoran Institute
that focused on integrated land use and water planning. Types of measures
identified during that collaboration include: updates to land use regulations
and codes; coordination on verifying compliance with irrigated area
4. The Data and the Roadmap Pg 17

DRAFT
limitations in place for specific communities; landscape and irrigation system
design and installation regulations, as well as plan review and inspection
requirements; and aligning development review and approval processes to
integrate water savings and improve customer experience.
PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE
Our organizations have begun partnering with the county and
developers to add water budgeting into development plans for new
projects. Budgeting limits the amount of water that may be used by
a development based on its specific characteristics. The benefits of
this strategy are two -fold: 1) It promotes water efficiency in these
new developments; 2) The cost to the developer of securing water
for the project may be discounted, based on less water being
needed to serve the more efficient development.
4.2 COMMERCIAL AND MIXED-USE CUSTOMERS
Commercial customers include accounts delivering water to any structure or
facility that is used to engage in a business, commerce, manufacturing,
marketing, and/or sale of products and services of any kind, and is not
habitable. Mixed-use customers contain one or more residential units and one
or more commercial units within the same structure (e.g., efficiency and
accommodation hotel rooms in hotels with a restaurant or retail space,
apartment or condo developments with restaurant or retail space, etc.).
Commercial and mixed-use customers account for 50% of total water use in
the district and an average of 26% of the total water use by the authority
( ). Most of the water used by these customers is attributable to
indoor demands, estimated to account for about 80% of total use by
commercial and 90% of total use by mixed-use customers. Average indoor
use per SFE is comparable for commercial and mixed-use customers,
averaging approximately 190-200 gpd/SFE from 2011 through 2015. Based on
these similarities, it is appropriate to apply the same savings objectives and
programs for these customers.
Savings Objectives
The district and authority have established the following objective for
commercial and mixed-use customers to guide demand management efforts
while additional data is being collected to help set efficiency goals based on
specific business type and size.
This plan establishes an indoor savings objective for this customer class of
0.25%/year for the district and 0.35%/year for the authority. This equates to a
total savings by the year 2030 of 5% in the authority and 3% in the district.
Throughout Colorado, water savings for the commercial and mixed-use sector
have not kept pace with residential savings. This is in part because replacing
fixtures and appliances may not result in as significant or consistent savings
4. The Data and the Roadmap
May 1, 2018 - Page 135 of 269
DRAFT
for some businesses as it does for residences. Some savings is expected with
new businesses due to factors like installation of high -efficiency bathroom
fixtures. As with residential customers, we expect higher savings for this
category in the authority based on higher expected growth due to the
installation of efficient fixtures. These savings objectives are in line with
targets set by other Colorado communities in their water efficiency plans.
Demand Management Programs
Helping commercial and mixed-use customers to continue to increase water
efficiency is an objective identified in the Eagle County Community's Climate
Action Plan. We will also investigate whether there are any partnership
opportunities related to energy efficiency programs and other programs that
work with these customers related to resource efficiency, such as Walking
Mountains Actively Green certification program.
Pricing signaling has been identified as a key program for our commercial and
mixed-use customers, which has been an effective method for reducing water
demands for other customer classes. Water use is a very small percentage of
bills for this type of customer, because base rates (which go to debt service
and infrastructure costs) are higher for these users based on their relatively
larger number of SFEs. We will evaluate our rate structure to determine what
changes may encourage water conservation and efficiency for this customer
class. We will also evaluate rebate and incentive programs, especially related
to the replacement of fixtures and appliances.
4.3 IRRIGATION -ONLY ACCOUNTS
Irrigation -only customers account for 5% of total water use in the district and
an average of 9% of the total water use by the authority (FIGURE 6). Though
there is relatively little variation in water use between years (FIGURE 10),
efficiency savings could likely be achieved if irrigation was adjusted to more
closely match plant requirements based on temperature and precipitation.
Installation of weather -based irrigation system controllers could help achieve
these savings.

Savings Objectives
The district and authority have established the following objectives for
irrigation -only customers:
1 Reduce outdoor use for accounts where the irrigated area is known to
a gallon per square foot per year goal, depending on the
evapotranspiration rate for the property location.
2 Reduce overall outdoor water use by 0.75% per year, or 10% by 2030.
Demand Management Programs
Following is a summary of programs that are targeted to irrigation -only
customers.
.0 . Irrigation System Consultations and Partnership with Irrigation
eyiv Professionals. This service is very valuable in helping to reduce water
use by improving sprinkler system efficiency, as described in the
residential section. Specifically for this sector, the program may involve
offering training or exploring ways to connect local landscape and property
management professionals with the skills, knowledge, and resources they
need for efficient irrigation system management and scheduling techniques.
4. The Data and the Roadmap Pg 20

DRAFT
-laOutdoor Incentives and Rebates. In addition to improved
management, technology can allow for increased efficiency and water
savings. Incentives may be offered in the future for weather -based
controllers and rain shutoff devices that help achieve more efficient irrigation.
Water -efficient landscaping incentives and rebates will be offered to the
extent they are expected to have an impact on reducing outdoor water use.
Customer Engagement. The same customer engagement platform
cr 4 described in the residential section will be made available to all
customers, enabling them to closely track and manage their water use.
0
Coordination with Land Use Authorities. As described in Section 4.1,
integration of land use and water planning can be used to promote the
efficient use of the water resource. Closer coordination during the
development phase is expected to promote installation of efficient irrigation
systems and incorporation of native and adapted vegetation.
4.4 SNOWMAKING AND GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION
As noted in Section 3, the district supplies water for snowmaking and golf
course irrigation. The main source of snowmaking water is untreated "raw"
water, which is withdrawn directly from a surface water such as Gore Creek.
Up to 603 ac -ft per year of raw water may be supplied to Vail Resorts for use
at the Vail ski area. The district provides up to 120 ac -ft of treated, or potable,
water for snowmaking to the Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, a Colorado
nonprofit, which is used to ensure there is adequate snow to perform their
early season training activities.
The amount of water needed for snowmaking varies from year to year based
on snowfall and temperatures. Snowmaking is a significant use supplied by
the district and may account for more than half of district stream diversions
(water withdrawn from the environment) during the winter. Approximately
75% to 80% of the water used for snowmaking is returned to the stream
through runoff from snowmelt in the spring, boosting spring instream flows.
The district supplies raw water to the Vail Recreation District for irrigation of
the Vail Golf Club golf course and Donovan and Ford Parks. Up to 174 ac -ft
may be supplied annually for this use.
Savings Objectives
This use type has one key difference from other customer types and therefore
is not addressed the same way for the purposes of this plan. This water is
delivered in accordance with water service agreements which set the
maximum supplied amounts indicated. Our partners who use this water are
dedicated to efficiency. Even so, we anticipate that the full allocation will be
needed in the future due to climatic factors. Mid-century temperatures are
projected to average 1.5° Fahrenheit to 6.5° F hotter than in 1971-2000,
4. The Data and the Roadmap Pg 21

DRAFT
depending on future levels of heat -trapping emissions.5 It is additionally
projected that winter precipitation will shift from snowfall to rainfall, which
may increase the demand for snowmaking in the future. Irrigation demand
may increase resulting from longer growing season and evaporative effects
caused by the projected warming.
Demand Management Programs
Conservation activities related to this type of use are in place. The district
provides leak detection support for the snowmaking system as needed. The
district will continue to work with our partners related to efficiency for these
uses.

5. DEMAND PROJECTIONS AND ESTIMATED
WATER SAVINGS
Based on historical SFE growth rates over the 1999 to 2015 timeframe, annual
SFE growth rates in the district and the authority are projected to be 1.1% and
2.1%, respectively, through the 2030 planning period being considered as part
of this plan. Two separate demand projections (baseline and active
conservation) were prepared for both entities, as described below.
BASELINE
The baseline projections combine the average historical water use values
with future SFE growth estimates. These projections represent demand
scenarios if there were no additional water savings between now and
2030.
ACTIVE CONSERVATION
The active projections use a more complex approach where demands are
separated by customer category with outdoor and indoor demands being
evaluated separately. This allows the impacts of specific water efficiency
measures, like high -efficiency fixtures and appliances, and irrigation
management, to be considered. The projections include the impact of
passive savings from new construction and retrofits of houses and
businesses with high -efficiency toilets, clothes washers, and dishwashers.
The active projections also incorporate anticipated savings from the
planned water efficiency programs described in this plan.
The results of the baseline and active projections are shown in FIGURE 11. Total
water use by the authority under the active projection is 4,790 ac-ft/yr in
2030, which represents an additional reduction of 430 ac-ft/yr, or 8%, as
compared to the baseline projection. The district's total metered water use in
2030 is 2,240 ac-ft/yr under the active projection, which represents an
additional savings of 140 ac-ft/yr, or 6%, as compared to the baseline
projections. We expect 50% of projected savings in the authority and 40% in
the district will be due to savings in outdoor use, with the majority of those
savings achieved through the active programs identified in this plan.
The remainder is expected to be achieved through indoor savings, with
approximately 10% from active indoor saving programs identified in this plan,
and the rest as passive savings through water -efficient new development and
natural replacement of fixtures.
In addition to the reductions in treated water use, the district and the
authority have established a goal of reducing non -revenue water based on an
industry -accepted performance indicator for real losses, which measures the
ratio of current annual real losses to system -specific unavoidable real losses.
Achievement of these goals would allow for projected annual savings of water
diversions of 100 ac -ft of in the district and 120 ac -ft in the authority.
Projections in FIGURE 11 do not include non -revenue water because the figure
shows metered deliveries only, and non -revenue water is unmetered, as
described in Section 2 of this plan.

6. SUMMARY
This plan sets aggressive yet achievable goals for reducing water demand
through efficiency measures and customer engagement. Our community has
shown significant reductions in per-gpd/SFE usage which demonstrates the
success of past programs and signals that our community is up to the
challenge. Innovation and a commitment to resource stewardship will allow
our community to continue to grow while shrinking our per SFE water
footprint. With this plan as our roadmap, our organizations are prepared to
continue the work of securing our community's water future.

The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District and Upper Eagle Regional Water
Authority employ a full-time water demand management coordinator that will
be responsible for implementing the regional water efficiency plan with
support from other staff members in the customer service, finance, planning,
water, field operations, and community relations departments. The district
and authority will continue to budget money for priority programs identified
in the plan and may pursue Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB)
water efficiency grants to further achieve our water efficiency goals.
A phased implementation approach has been developed, with many programs
being implemented immediately as a continuation of existing programs. A

1.2 INTERNAL PROGRAMS AND PARTNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to the programs described in the main body of the plan, which
have a customer engagement element, our organizations will continue to
refine our operations to enhance environmental stewardship. Internal efforts
will include: refining how we communicate the value of water to our
customers through pricing; enhancing data collection and tracking to
facilitate data driven management; and continuing to identify opportunities
for customer engagement.
Rates and Water -Efficiency Oriented Water System Impact Fees
Rates and tiers are regularly updated to reflect changes in the cost of service.
Our organizations have budgeted for a rate study in 2018. The following
modifications will be evaluated as part of the future rate updates:
Water budget rate structures. Water budgeting is intended to align tier pricing
with efficient water use based on the specifics of an individual property.
As a step toward implementing water budgeting, our organizations are
pursuing collection of updated GIS imagery. Once the updated imagery
has been collected it will be evaluated using surface classification
techniques to allow for comparison of customer consumption data with
irrigated area. Water budgeting will be evaluated as part of the 2018
rate study.
Water system impact fees that encourage water efficient new developments. Impact
fees can be a powerful tool for influencing the water efficiency of new
developments. The district and authority will evaluate revising the
current impact fee structure to include indoor and outdoor components
that appropriately assign higher costs for outdoor demands, which are
more consumptive of the resource and drive capacity to serve peak
demand. Impact fee updates will likely occur following the master plan
update project currently underway.
Dual Metering
Many commercial, mixed, and multi -unit residential customers have a separate
meter for outdoor use, which provides a mechanism for separately evaluating
indoor and outdoor water uses. All new accounts for these types of customers
are dual metered. Two additional potential metering upgrades have been
identified for consideration as part of this plan:
1 Dual metering of new single -unit residential customers with landscape
areas above a certain threshold.
2 Sub -metering of customers and businesses served by one commercial
or mixed connection. Currently, many of these types of customers are
co -located with other businesses or with residential units in a building
with one meter. Being able to separately meter business use is
expected to improve data collection and help to develop efficiency
goals based on the business operations.
Appendix B Pg 3
May 1, 2018 - Page 147 of 269
DRAFT
Area -Based Accounts
The district and authority are implementing a program to measure irrigated
areas for all irrigation -only accounts. Upon completion, water use by these
customers will be compared to irrigation demand planning targets, which will
be developed based on the evapotranspiration rate of the customer's
location. This will allow for the identification of irrigation customers that may
benefit from our support in increasing their efficiency.
Landscape Policy
The district and authority are developing a review policy for landscape and
irrigation plans, which as of 2018, are required to be submitted to and
approved by our organizations. The Town of Avon recently incorporated
landscape requirements into the Town Municipal Code. Our organizations
provided input on those requirements and will develop a policy that is
consistent with our land use partners to the greatest extent possible to allow
regulatory certainty for our customers. We will continue to strive to integrate
review processes with our land use partners to reduce complexity associated
with dealing with multiple requirements.
1.3 MONITORING AND EVALUATION
The district and authority will review and update the regional water efficiency
plan at least every seven years. We regularly monitor water use trends based
on metered data that will continue to be collected. Progress toward meeting
the water savings goals will be evaluated as part of our annual water demand
reporting to the State as required under House Bill 1051, as well as when the
water efficiency plan is next updated. This tracking and analysis will help
determine what (if any) additional demand management measures are
necessary to help the district and authority meet our stated goals by 2030.
The district and authority will monitor the following on an ongoing basis,
coordinated with 1051 reporting, until the next water efficiency plan update:
• Total water deliveries
• Water use by customer class
• Number of active SFEs
• Non -revenue water (percentage and Infrastructure Leakage Index value)
• Water use per SFE, grouped by customer class
• Outdoor water use per irrigated area, to the extent possible based on
available data
• Water use relative to water budgets, if adopted
• Number of irrigation system consultations and associated savings
• Number of smart controller incentives/rebates and associated savings
• Turf replacement program details and associated savings
• Information regarding non-residential efficiency audits
• Water use regulations violations
• Goal -setting information (as further described below)
Appendix B Pg 4
May 1, 2018 - Page 148 of 269
DRAFT
1.4 GOAL SETTING
Through the preparation of this plan, the district and authority determined
that the collection of additional customer characteristics data will be
instrumental in improving our ability to evaluate water use trends. The
following sections provide a summary of actions that will be considered to
improve data collection and the ability to set and track benchmarks by
customer class.
Goal -setting requires a significant amount of time and resources, and the
approach is expected to evolve as more data becomes available and our
tracking mechanisms develop. Accordingly, it will be an ongoing process
dependent on available time and resources.
1.4.1 Residential
The district and authority are interested in developing water budgets for
residential customers. Budgets serve as water use goals for customers and
are set based on the specifics of the customer's property. Until water budgets
are developed, gpd/SFE by development type will be used as an indicator of
efficiency. We are in the process of making the following updates in our
customer database, in order to help with ongoing goal setting and evaluation
process:
• Sub -classification of residential accounts as single -unit or multi -unit
• Tracking the number of dwelling units per multi -unit account
1.4.2 Commercial and Mixed -Use
The efficiency of indoor use by commercial and mixed-use accounts is
challenging to evaluate because efficient use can vary widely based on the
type of business, volume of operations, and seasonal variation. This challenge
is not unique to the district and authority, and published end use data from
the commercial and institutional sectors is generally very limited. Accordingly,
many utilities use local data to develop metrics for benchmarking as
appropriate to their customers types. Following is a list of information that we
hope to gather to assist in developing benchmarks for commercial and mixed-
use customers2:
• Building square footage
• Hotel beds/units and guest occupancy
• Track type(s) of business being served by account (e.g. retail/office,
restaurant, industrial, institutional, etc.)
• Pool/hot tub characteristics (e.g. surface area)
• Students per school

APPENDIX D. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE
PLANNING REQUIREMENTS
Colorado Revised Statute § 37-60-126 requires a covered entity to develop,
adopt, make publicly available, and implement a water conservation
(efficiency) plan that will encourage its customers to use water more
efficiently. According to the statute, a "covered entity" is a "municipality,
agency, utility, including any privately owned utility, or other publicly owned
entity with a legal obligation to supply, distribute, or otherwise provide water
at retail to domestic, commercial, industrial, or public facility customers, and
that has a total demand for such customers of two thousand acre-feet or
more." Based on these criteria, both the Eagle River Water & Sanitation
District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority are covered entities.
The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) provided grant funding to
assist with the development of this regional plan through the Water Efficiency
Grant Program, which provides financial assistance to communities and water
providers for water conservation related activities and projects. These funds
were used to enlist the assistance of ELEMENT Water Consulting to support
our organizations' efforts to prepare this regional water efficiency plan.
CWCB's ongoing support of water management activities for water providers
through funding, technical support, and training workshops elevates local
efforts which are critical to securing our state's water future.
Key elements that must be evaluated in development of the plan, per statute,
are listed below:
a) Water -saving measures and programs including:
I. water -efficient fixtures and appliances;
II. low water use landscapes, drought -resistant vegetation, removal
of phreatophytes, and efficient irrigation;
III. water -efficient industrial and commercial water -using processes;
IV. water reuse systems;
V. distribution system leak identification and repair;
VI. information and education;
VII. conservation -oriented rate structures and billing systems;
VIII. regulatory measures designed to encourage water conservation;
IX. incentives to implement water conservation techniques including
rebates.
b) Role of conservation in the entity's supply planning.
c) Plan implementation, monitoring, review, and revision.
d) Future review of plan within seven years.
e) Estimated savings from previous conservation efforts as well as
estimates from implementation of current plan and new plan.
f) Water demand management that may be implemented through land
use planning.
g) A 60 -day minimum public comment period (or other time period based
on local ordinance).
Appendix D Pg 1
May 1, 2018 - Page 152 of 269
DRAFT
It is not required that each of these items be implemented, but that the
planning organization consider each and adopt the programs that will help to
achieve water savings goals set by the plan. See Appendix B for a
comprehensive list of programs selected by the district and authority.
1.1 EAGLE RIVER REGIONAL WEP COMPLIANCE
Our organizations developed this water efficiency plan, in part, to comply
with C.R.S. § 37-60-126. Each element of compliance is documented below.
A. Consideration of specific water efficiency measures.
(I) Fixtures and appliances - Since 1994, our organizations have funded
giveaway programs at various levels that provide customers with
educational materials paired with indoor products such as faucet
aerators, low -flow showerheads, and toilet flappers. Our giveaway
programs are expected to continue with a shifted focus toward
promoting fixture replacement in multi -family and low-
income/workforce housing units where passive replacement is less
likely. More information can be found in Section 4.1 of the plan
document.
(II) Outdoor water efficiency - Outdoor efficiency is a key focus of the
demand management measures being implemented as part of this plan.
Customers are currently offered the following outdoor water efficiency
devices at no cost: garden hose nozzle with automatic shutoff, soil
moisture probe, and rain gage. Irrigation system audits/consultations
will also continue to be offered. New programs planned for pilot
implementation include: incentives for weather -based controllers, rain
shutoff devices, and a turf replacement program; training for landscape
and irrigation professionals; and expanded billing of outdoor water use
based on irrigated area. More information can be found in Sections 4.1
and 4.3 of the plan document and Section 1.2 of Appendix B.
(III) Commercial, Industrial and Institutional (CII) measures - CII water
efficiency is promoted through ongoing education efforts and
conservation -oriented rate structures. Our organizations plan to
evaluate rates, rebates, and incentive programs, especially those related
to the replacement of fixtures and appliances, to encourage
conservation and efficiency in this customer class. Sub -metering of
customers and businesses served by one commercial or mixed
connection is also being considered to improve data collection and help
to develop efficiency goals based on the business operations. More
information can be found in Section 4.2 of the plan document and
Sections 1.2 and 1.4.2 of Appendix B.
Appendix D Pg 2

DRAFT
(IV) Water reuse systems - The district coordinates indirect reuse of
effluent for snowmaking purposes.
(V) Water loss and system leakage reduction - Our organizations work
actively to address system water losses. The district established an
interdepartmental committee in 2003 to address non -revenue water.
Our organizations use industry standardized reporting methods to
assess how well we are maintaining, repairing, and rehabilitating our
systems for leakage control. Our organizations also undertake projects
as needed to help operations stay within a target range. Recent projects
include: advanced metering at water production sites; new reporting
mechanisms for water used during system maintenance or for
community needs like fire suppression system testing; and ongoing leak
detection efforts using acoustic technology. Our organizations also
conduct annual audits based on the AWWA M36 methodology and are
in the process of implementing advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
to help identify leaks. More information can be found in Section 2 of the
plan document.
(VI) Information and public education - Public outreach and education
is a key component of ensuring the continued success of our water
demand management measures and helping to achieve targeted water
savings. Our organizations will continue to engage with our customers
to provide education through multiple channels. More information can
be found in Section 2 of the plan document.
(VII) Water rate structure - Our organizations currently bill customers
monthly using 3 and 5 tier inclining block rate structures. Customers are
given a water use allowance within each tier based on the size of their
property or other factors. Pricing signals are a way of communicating to
customers whose use is in higher tiers that their use may be inefficient.
Future rate studies will evaluate water budget rate structures as well as
tap fees that encourage the efficient use of water. More information can
be found in Section 1.2 of Appendix B.
(VIII) Regulatory measures - Our organizations have water use
regulations that have been in place since 1995, which establish watering
schedules to reduce peak demand, restrict watering to efficient times,
and prohibit wasteful water use.
(IX) Incentives - Indoor incentives such as faucet aerators, low -flow
showerheads, and toilet flappers have been offered to all customers in
the past, but future efforts will focus on multi -family and low
Appendix D Pg 3

DRAFT
income/workforce housing units where passive replacement is less
likely. Current outdoor incentives include garden hose nozzles with
automatic shutoffs, soil moisture probes, and rain gages, and future
incentives may include weather -based controllers and rain shutoff
devices. More information can be found in Section 4.1 of the plan
document.
B. Role of conservation in supply planning.
As stewards of our community's water resource, we view increasing efficiency
and reducing waste as the environmentally and economically responsible first
step to securing our water future. This plan is part of our organization's
overarching commitment to long range planning and preparedness. Other key
planning efforts that complement this plan include water rights reports which
describe our ongoing evaluation of our water supply and a master planning
update effort that is currently underway to evaluate and address system
infrastructure and treatment needs. This water efficiency plan focuses on
water demand, and savings projected through this plan will be considered as
part of our ongoing analysis of future supply need and availability. Our
community has demonstrated that innovation and a commitment to resource
stewardship can allow us to continue to grow while shrinking our per -SFE
water footprint. More information can be found in Section 1 of the plan
document.
C. Plan implementation, monitoring, review, and revision.
Our organizations employ a full-time water demand management coordinator
that will be responsible for implementing the plan. Our organizations will
continue to budget money for priority programs identified in the plan and
may pursue CWCB water efficiency grants to further achieve our water
efficiency goals. We regularly monitor water use trends based on metered
data that will continue to be collected. Progress toward meeting the water
savings goals will be evaluated as part of our annual water demand reporting
to the State as required under House Bill 1051, as well as when the water
efficiency plan is next updated. This tracking analysis will help determine what
(if any) additional demand management measures are necessary to help the
district and authority meet our stated goals by 2030. More information can be
found in Sections 1.1 and 1.3 of Appendix A.
D. Future review of plan within seven years.
Our organizations plan to review and update this water efficiency plan every
seven years, or as needed. During this review, progress toward achieving the
stated efficiency goals will be evaluated.
E. Estimated savings from previous conservation efforts and current
plan.
Water use by the district has decreased from an average of approximately
209 gpd/SFE over the 2003-2007 period to a 2013-2017 average value of
approximately 189 gpd/SFE. This equates to a reduction of 10%, which is
consistent with the goal identified in the 2012 Water Conservation Plan, and is
approximately 309 ac-ft/yr. Water use in the authority has decreased from
Appendix D Pg 4
May 1, 2018 - Page 155 of 269
DRAFT
about 258 gpd/SFE over the 2003-2007 period to a 2013-2017 average value
of 217 gpd/SFE. This equates to a total savings of 15% and approximately 769
ac-ft/yr. Through this planning effort, the district and authority have
established future savings goals of 6% and 9%, respectively. This equates to
140 ac-ft/yr in the district and 430 ac-ft/yr in the authority. More information
can be found in Sections 2 and 5 of the plan document.
F. Land use planning.
Water demand management may be implemented through land use planning
and through enforceable, recorded contracts. We have initiated efforts to
coordinate with our land use authority partners in approval processes,
outdoor landscape planning and development of land use ordinances that
support water efficiency. Measures being considered include: updates to land
use regulations/codes; coordination on verifying compliance with irrigated
area limitations in place for specific communities; landscape and irrigation
system design and installation regulations, as well as plan review and
inspection requirements; and aligning development review and approval
processes to integrate water efficiency and improve customer experience.
More information can be found in Section 4.1 of the plan document and
Section 1.2 of Appendix B. In addition to coordination with land use authority
partners, the authority and district have entered into contracts with
developers to establish water budgets for some new developments.
G. Public comment period.
A 30 -day public review process was held from XXXX, 2018, through XXXX,
2018, as described in Appendix C. A 30 -day review procedure is consistent
with [reference document]. [A summary will be added after the
review period is complete that states comments were responded to or that no
comments were received.]

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM/TOPIC: HCE Gilman to Avon Transmission Line Project Update
PRESENTER(S): David Bleakley & Jenna Weatherred, Holy Cross
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Informational only; no action required.
BACKGROUND: Holy Cross Energy proposes to construct an 8.65 -mile -long 115 kV
transmission line connecting Avon and Gilman substations. Construction and operation of the new
transmission line would provide increased service resilience and minimize substantial outage risk to
customers in the communities of Vail, Eagle Vail, Avon, Edwards, and parts of Eagle as well as
provide a back-up electrical transmission service for the towns of Minturn and Red Cliff and all Xcel
customers in that area. Holy Cross is communicating to the local community about the projce
because it is such a large, valley -wide project and HCE is proposing to add this line to minimize
risk to the electrical substation/transmission system that serves Vail and the region.

Why is HCE looking at this?
1. Minimize risk to the HCE Transmission System.
2. Any extended outage to the Vail -Eagle corridor results in
risks to public health, safety and security.
3. Long range load growth considerations.
4. Gilman/Avon line solves these issues.
May 1, 2018 - Page 184 of 269
Why is Xcel looking at this?
1. Gilman substation is on the end of a 16 mile radial (one source)
transmission line. Any failure on the line results in an outage for
Minturn and Redcliff (7/20/2017).
2. Robinson Rack switching station feeds the radial transmission
line. Failures in the station may results in an outage for Minturn
and Redcliff.
3. The Gilman/Avon provides another source to the Gilman
substation. This creates a looped transmission (two sources)
system which is far more reliable and resilient

HCE initial SF299 application included using the Roadless area
was submitted January 2017. This was eventually denied by
National Forest Service. The reason... "As long as another route
exists, roadless must be avoided".
HCE submitted another SF299 application in August 2017,
avoiding the Roadless areas. This route roughly follows the

ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion about Tier IV Education & Enrichment Funding Criteria & Strategy
PRESENTER(S): Mia Vlaar, Economic Development Director
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Information update only
BACKGROUND: On April 3, 2018, the Commission on Special Events (CSE) presented the

TOWN OF VAIL'
Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Mia Vlaar, Economic Development Director
Date: April 25, 2018
Subject: Education & Enrichment Events and Programs
Background:
On April 3, 2018, the Commission on Special Events (CSE) presented the goals and
criteria for the Education and Enrichment (EE) category to Council. Following
discussion, the Council asked CSE to provide further information on the EE category for
a deeper discussion.
At the direction of Town Council, the CSE has developed and refined criteria and a
scorecard for the EE category over a period of several years. The scorecard, created
through collaboration and approved by a vote, allows the CSE to grade events and
programs within the EE category according to priorities set by Council. Events and
programs funded in the EE category have performed well and continue to provide value
to the Vail community.
The CSE appreciates the direction provided by Council, which it has taken to secure
some of the most successful events on the Town's calendar. The CSE recommends
Council affirm the current process for EE category selection and evaluation.
EE as a Percentage of Town Council Special Event Funding
EE category events and programs, while currently representing 17% of the
approximately $894,000 currently allocated to the CSE, actually represent
approximately 7.5% of Town Council funding plus CSE funding for special events, which
currently totals approximately $2 million.
EE as Achieving Majority of CSE Key Objectives
EE events and programs accomplish four of the six key CSE objectives, while being
assessed using the approved EE category scorecard. EE events and programs have a
less measurable short term economic impact, but have a positive longer term effect:
4/25/2018
Page 1
May 1, 2018 - Page 193 of 269
a. Drive Positive Economic Impact (occupancy, sales tax, group business,
return guests).
✓ EE events and programs support the underlying creation of positive
economic impact by educating workforce, a building community and
bringing people into Vail.
b. Attract Destination Guests who book overnight rooms.
✓ While EE events and programs don't generally create overnight
visitation, they bring less easily measured, longer term, workforce,
community and leadership benefits to the community.
EE as Achieving CSE Key Objectives
✓ EE events and programs overachieve on Net Promoter Score,
leading all events in this category.
✓ EE Scorecard has been modified to include growing EE category to
include target participant diversity to involve more destination
guests.
Long Term vs. Short Term Economic Benefit
While measurable economic outcomes for EE funding are challenging to identify in the
short term, Council directed CSE to fund the EE category with:
✓ "...events that provide opportunities for intellectual dialogue, foster a Health and
Wellbeing reputation for Vail, promote problem solving around current issues,
deliver an educational component, enhance leadership skills and reinforce the
fabric of the community." (CSE Tier IV Memo to Vail Town Council - 1/21/2014)
EE category events and programs include professional and personal training and
development, support for diverse and disabled communities, support for local students,
education and development featuring unique Vail assets and more. All these programs
provide long term value to residents, employees, managers and business owners, and
support a more vibrant, educated and engaged community.
4/25/2018 Page 2
May 1, 2018 - Page 194 of 269
Questions from the CSE for the council's consideration:
1. How could EE events work to elevate the Vail brand beyond consideration as
only a destination for outdoor recreation? Should that be a goal for Vail?
2. Is the Town of Vail/council mission and vision being accomplished with the
current EE programming? Where is the programming excelling or falling short?
3. How do events and EE programming provide intangible benefits to Vail
residents? How do they attract new residents?
4. What is the definition of the the guest who works in Vail, lives down valley and
identifies themselves as a "Vail" person? How do they fit into the vision for
events?
5. How important is diversity in programming?
6. Should the heads in beds component be expected across all events in both
categories? What if it's not relevant to the specific event or program?
7. What is the commitment and role of the council and CSE in providing events and
programming to the local community?
8. Which share of budget, events and programs should provide opportunities for the
local community to be educated, enlightened and engaged?
9. Should EE events be exclusive to a certain audience and closed to others? The
Vail Veterans Program has a highly specialized audience. How does this type of
program embody the goal of what the EE category is designed to do?
10. Should EE events be required to include an element directed at the guest
experience? For example with the Vail Centre, how can their programs focus on
guests and perhaps create a stumble upon or ambient experience? (Ambient
events support the guest experience, but are not the driver of visits.)
11. What is the stance on ambient events? Should the CSE emphasize and fund
activities and events that provide repeat entertainment and mood in Vail?

CSE Tier IV Memo to Vail Town Council - 1/21/2014
Per the request of the Vail Town Council, the CSE issued an RFP in December
2013 for events seeking support under the newly defined TIER IV Category: "Life
Long Learning."
Specific criteria supporting this goal was developed, so as not to compete with
the events that have a larger potential to generate room nights and contribute
to a significant ROI.
The TIER IV Category of funding is more heavily weighted to events that provide
opportunities for intellectual dialogues, foster a Health and Wellbeing
reputation for Vail, promote problem solving around current issues, deliver an

TOWN OF VAIL'
Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development Department
Date: May 01, 2018
Subject: Community Wide Recycling Update
I. Purpose
This presentation provides an update to the Vail Town Council on the Community Wide
Recycling Ordinance adopted in 2014. A brief update on the status of waste diversion in Eagle
County is also included.
II. Background
In support of the Vail Town Council's value of environmental stewardship and efforts to grow a
balanced community and enhance the guest experience, the 2009 Environmental Sustainability
Strategic Plan established the following waste diversion goal:
Goal #1, Solid Waste Stream Reduction and Recycling, Reduce the amount of
Town of Vail landfill contributions by 10% within 5 years and 25% within 10 years (2019).
The 2010 baseline studies show area diversion rates as follows:
• Town of Vail: 9% (residential) and 19% (commercial)
• Eagle County: 14.7%
• National Average: 34.5%
The 2014 ordinance added a new chapter to Title 5 of the Vail Town Code establishing the
following:
1. Recycling rates embedded with trash hauling rates
2. Residential volume based pricing (Save as You Recycle)
3. Prohibition on recyclable materials discarded as trash
4. Waste hauler registration and data reporting
May 1, 2018 - Page 204 of 269
III. Recycling Program Outreach
Since the 2016 Town Council recycling update, outreach efforts have included the expansion of
the Love Vail campaign, use of digital and print media, radio ads and interviews, distribution of
educational materials, and in-person outreach.
• Holiday Education Blitz: Educate
residents and guests during the high
season on local recycling best practices
https://www.vaildaily.com/news/off-the-
hill-town-of-vail-offers-recycling-tips-for-
the-holidays/
Town of Vail
• Love Vail Campaign: The Love Vail
Brand has expanded to include digital
media and additional educational
materials that have been distributed to
residents, property owners, and
lodging providers.
• Education and Outreach: Ongoing staff
outreach has brought businesses including
Solaris, West Vail Mall, Evergreen Hotel,
McDonalds, Subway, and more into
compliance with the recycling ordinance.
Special events like the Spring Hard to
Recycle event and America Recycles Day
collection events diverted over 16 tons of
material in 2017.

May 1, 2018 - Page 205 of 269
IV. Community Recycling Rates
Recycling rates throughout the Town of Vail have steadily increased since adoption of the 2014
ordinance. In 2017, the Town achieved a combined 22% recycling rate (Figure 1). Based on
sampling data, recycling rates tend to peak over the summer high season near 28%.
This data includes municipal solid waste (MSW) or material that is collected on regular routes
and does not include materials generated through construction and demolition activities. These
numbers are an aggregate of hauler data submittals collected through sampling periods over
the course of the year.

Residential participation since the 2016 update has fluctuated with a high of 78% in 2016 and
dropping back to 72% in 2017(Figure 2). Participation rates are the number of people setting out
recycling on a given collection week. Participation rates may not necessarily represent overall
compliance depending on occupancy in a given collection week.
Multi -family and commercial properties tend to have much higher participation rates at 94% and
97% respectively. Compliance efforts at commercial properties have focused on ensuring that
public facing recycling receptacles are available if trash cans are present.

V. Eagle County Update
In 2017, Eagle County received a Recycling Resource Economic Opportunity (RREO) grant to
complete an updated waste characterization study at the landfill. This study identified waste
diversion opportunities and potential for waste diversion in the county. The report is currently
available in draft format and has not officially been released. Early findings indicate
approximately 80.8% of material entering the landfill can potentially be diverted (Figure 4) using
normal and in many cases existing reuse, recycling, compost, or other recovery programs.

Eagle County waste diversion and recycling rates peaked in 2015 and have since been steadily
declining. Currently, the county is matched with the Town of Vail at a 22% recycling rate (Figure
5). The table below includes data from haulers taking materials out of the county in addition to
material processed at the Eagle County Materials Recovery Facility.

VI. Discussion
The Town of Vail has an adopted goal of 25% waste reduction by 2020. Currently, the 2009
Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan is in the process of being updated and more
ambitious zero -waste goals are being discussed by the community. In order to achieve these
and future goals, additional work is required and may include the following:
• Dedicated annual funding for waste reduction education
• Increased enforcement of current regulations
• Development of composting requirements or incentives
• Construction and demolition waste diversion standards
• Updates and to development requirements
• Council discussion of a municipal hauling contract
• Increased regional partnerships on waste diversion projects

Dear Vail Town Council Members,
I am writing this letter to express my interest in running for another term on the Vail Local Housing
Authority (VLHA). Over the last two years, I have served as a member of the authority where I believe
we have made great strides in housing, but I do think we have a lot more to accomplish.
My passion in maintaining and building a community is something that I believe I bring to the authority. I
am very involved in the day to day housing issue that many locals and people moving here face which I
know I am a voice for since I experience it firsthand. I also am not afraid to speak up and disagree or
push back on things I believe are not in the best interest of the town or the community. I am very
involved in other task forces throughout the community and believe I bring that to the VLHA as well.
My dedication and passion for housing comes from my professional experience as well as my personal
experience. I am willing to put as much time and dedication as possible to make sure we as a town
continue to meet our goals and maintain and build the community around us.
Vail Health also supports me in this role as a large employer of this valley that faces this issue daily. I
believe I would be a great asset to the Vail Local Housing Authority and believe that you should consider
re-electing me for another term.
Sincerely,
0t)ycWS

Dear Vail Town Council members,
This is a recommendation for Molly Morales to be a member of the Vail Local Housing Authority.
As you have seen in Molly's first term on the Housing Authority, she has solid knowledge of the Valley's
housing challenges and excellent communication skills to discuss any issue. Molly also understands not
only the housing issues facing the hospital, but also the challenges facing all the demographic groups in
the Valley.
Molly is dedicated and passionate about contributing to solutions facing the Vail Valley housing issues
and has served extremely well in her role as the hospital's expert on dealing with all projects dealing
with leases and property management.
Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Dear Vail Town Council members,
It is with great pleasure that I offer this recommendation for Molly Morales to serve on the
Vail Local Housing Authority board. Molly brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to
the Housing Authority, including:
• Extensive knowledge on housing in Vail and throughout the valley
• Creative thinking when it comes to housing
• Young and innovative demographic to the board
• Dedication to serve
• Passionate about housing - she does this every day for Vail Health
• Willing to not always agree and ask the hard questions
Molly brings a passion for community building and community engagement in all she does;
she has shown a real commitment toward community involvement and engagement, and a
passion for housing. For example, Molly has been actively engaged in various community
issues including workforce housing and serving on the Partnership's Housing Task Force
and Workforce Housing Coalition.
Molly would be a great addition to the VLHA; her experience in housing is certainly a
valued skill set. Of equal importance, her community involvement shows a desire to
contribute the voice of a young professional who is working hard to make a career in the
Vail area to various community programs and organizations. The VLHA would benefit from
her professional experience, as well as her voice, and would be aligned with the Town of
Vail's goals to engage young professionals on various town boards and committees.
Please reach out with any questions on Molly's background or contributions. I encourage
you to select her for the Vail Local Housing Authority.
Sincerely,

5.1 Interpetive Installation Contract Memo
TOWN OF 1 X41
May 1, 2018 - Page 244 of 269
TOWN OF VAIL.
Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Community Development
Date: May 1, 2018
Subject: Gore Valley Trail Interpretive Program Planning Contract
I. PURPOSE
As part of the implementation of the Gore Creek Strategic Plan, the Town of Vail is
seeking to expand its Gore Creek Education and Outreach program and reach new
audiences through an interpretive walk along the Gore Valley Trail, the recreation path
that parallels Gore Creek. Some portions of this trail sees more than 1,000 daily users
on busy summer days, therefore so education in this area has high potential to reach a
large new audience. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Vail Town
Council a process summary on the Gore Valley Trail Interpretive Program, Phase 1
contract with Conservation by Design.
II. BACKGROUND
The Gore Creek Strategic Plan activities include a broad range of educational
opportunities including digital, events, personal consultations in the field,
partnerships, printed, and physical structures.
Activities such as lawn -care workshops, friendly competitions, and increasing
informational signage will help reach full-time residents, part-time residents, and
visitors at different locations across town and during critical periods throughout the
year. —Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan pg. 23
As such, staff released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for firms to begin the process
of developing an interpretive installation along the Gore Valley Trail on February 12,
2018 with the following stated goals:
1. Raise community awareness of the importance of riparian habitat through
interactive exhibits and media.
2. Engage trail users and educate them about macroinvertebrates, aquatic
ecosystems and wildlife.
3. Communicate how community members can do their part to Restore the Gore.
May 1, 2018 - Page 245 of 269
4. Draw the attention of trail users to the riverine and riparian ecosystems that the
Gore Valley Trail meanders through and educate them about the importance of
these ecosystems.
5. Reach a new audience of 50,000 trail users each summer.
Responses
Staff received seven responses to the RFQ for a firm to design, create and install an
interpretive installation along the Gore Valley Trail. Most of the firms that submitted
were highly qualified and proposals ranged from traditional interpretive panels to web -
based smartphone interfaces and augmented reality games and scavenger hunts. The
selected firm was chosen because they are not committed to any single approach but
rather proposed a rigorous scoping process with community stakeholders to help Vail
determine a resort scale and appropriate approach and final product that best suits the
town's needs and message. An initial round of phone interviews with the Watershed
Education Coordinator narrowed the field to five firms. Extended panel interviews
conducted over the phone including input from the Economic Development Director,
Environmental Sustainability Manager, Watershed Education Coordinator, an
interpretive expert from Walking Mountains Science Center and a representative from
Hopkins Architecture resulted in a unanimous selection of Conservation by Design as
the most qualified based on the ability of the firm to:
o Develop a creative and engaging way to educate trail users about the
issues facing Gore Creek and its tributaries.
o Raise awareness of the important role wetlands, rivers, creeks and
riparian areas play in the life cycles of many Colorado species.
o Inspire appreciation for little known or under -appreciated species and the
important, outsized role they play in the Gore Creek ecosystem.
o Find creative ways to draw the attention of trail users to scenery and
habitats that they may otherwise have overlooked.
o Use the natural features along the Gore Valley Trail as a teaching tool.
o Develop educational content that raises awareness of Gore Creek's
impairment, the importance of riparian habitat, fosters appreciation for
riverine and riparian ecosystems and offers tools to take action.
o Use creative, interactive methods to distribute the core message and
content.
The initial contract with Conservation by Design will be for a three-month planning
phase which will help determine the best approach to a unique and creative interpretive
installation that suits the needs of the Vail community and which achieves the goals of
raising awareness and initiating action to restore Gore Creek. Conservation by Design
Town of Vail Page 2
May 1, 2018 - Page 246 of 269
will undertake scoping and brainstorming exercises in the local community and will
conduct interviews with stakeholders and focus groups.
III. NEXT STEPS
Staff will enter into an agreement with Conservation by Design to complete the scoping
and planning phase for a Gore Valley Trail interpretive installation in an amount not to
exceed $15,000. This contract will only cover the initial planning and design phase of
the project. Fabrication and installation of interpretive installations will occur under a
separate contract.

TOWN OF VAIL
REVENUE UPDATE
May 1, 2018
Sales Tax
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, March collections are estimated to be
$4,072,634 up 11.8% from last year and up 0.4% compared to budget. Year to
date collections of $11,462,845 are up 3.42% from prior year and down 0.2%
from budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up 2.4% for
March. The annual budget totals $26.0 million.
Part of the large variance to prior year collections is due to the Easter holiday
falling in March for 2018 (Easter was in April for 2017). Once April tax collections
are remitted, staff will combine the monthly data for March and April to compare
to the prior March/April in order to eliminate the variances caused by the holiday.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections through April 25 total $1,888,514 up 25.1% from this time last
year. The annual 2018 RETT budget totals $6.1 million.
Construction Use Tax
Use Tax collections through April 25 total $660,975 compared to $278,509 from
this time last year. The annual budget totals $1,975,900.
Parking Revenue
Season to date:
Pass sales from November through April total $1,241,595 up 22.2% from prior
winter season. The significant increase in pass sales was largely due to the
purchase of blue passes by Vail Health due to loss of parking during
construction.
Daily sales from the parking structures from November through April total
approximately $3,685,336, down 6.7% from the prior winter season.

MEMBERS ABSENT
The Board reviewed and approved the March 27, 2018 meeting results.
Motion: Morales Second: Wilkins Vote: 5-0
They also reviewed and approved the April 3, 2018 meeting results as presented.
Motion: Meza Second: Morales Vote: 5-0
Ruther addressed the VLHA suggesting they enter executive session to discuss Resolutions 2 through
5, Series 2018 a Resolution Approving the Purchase of a Deed Restriction Interest in Property
(Type 111 Deed Restriction), specifically regarding lender acknowledgements. The current version of
the lender acknowledgement doesn't address the Town is first in line on the lien.
Lindstrom reviewed additional Gury details of agreement.
Ruther said the Board could act on the resolutions subject to lender acknowledgement subject to
subordination.
Morales questioned if the deed restriction states the foreclosure language.
Ruther believes the Board needs that clarification before action taken to approve resolutions.
Page 1
May 1, 2018 - Page 258 of 269
Lindstrom asked Ruther's opinion to act on resolutions or wait. Ruther stated the lender
acknowledgement needs clarification prior to approval. We want to ensure deed restriction doesn't go
away if foreclosure.
Morales made a motion to table the resolutions review and approval of items to obtain clarification of
lender acknowledgement.
Motion: Morales Second: Wilkins Vote: 5-0
Up next was review of the Annual Resale Lottery Criteria for a Town Council memorandum.
Campbell was to write memo based on past board meeting comments from VLHA March 27, 2017
meeting and December 19, 2017 Town Council memorandums. Ruther suggested the board review the
application submittal requirements regarding employment.
The Board discussed workforce changes and how locals qualify today, including the digital work force.
Suggestion was for applicants to prove they are providing a service to locals and participating in
community.
Lindstrom asked if Ruther anticipated eligibility carry over in all lotteries moving forward.
Clifton said this is a relevant discussion. His experience with other boards showed the challenge was
on the back end. He believes this is what lies ahead for compliance. Examples include long travel
experiences, teacher sabbaticals, and other. He suggested thinking of the process to hear exemption
and develop criteria for exemption. Review in a hearing, it would be noticed, owners would state case
and Board would render decision. He believes the authority would be a good tribunal. There then would
be a record to support decisions.
Morales asked if there are protected classes, FMLA, etc.
Ruther said those are listed in guidelines. He sees biggest one unaddressed is technology of doing
business. We need some consideration and thought toward this subject. There is a change in how
people work. We deal with retirement, extended leaves, job loss.
Morales asked when reviewing the guidelines would the Board review in VLHA and then make
recommendation to Town Council.
Ruther stated there would be a joint Town Council and Vail Local Housing Authority meeting to discuss
policy.
Clifton said May or June.
Lindstrom reviewed the lottery criteria proposed to Council December 19, 2017. There were two items
Council wanted additional information.
Item #2: Allow current residential property owners, including vacant residential land, to participate in
the lottery.
Item #3: Phase out the weighted preference and tiered systems and replace them with a true lottery
process, effective June 2018.
The third item to discuss would be the change in how people work. George suggested the annual
resale lottery criteria would be on the April 17, 2018 evening agenda.
Page 2
May 1, 2018 - Page 259 of 269
Wilkins wanted to know if he should have something prepared. Ruther said to hold off on change
people after discussion with TC policy.
Staff will write memo for Town Council April 17, 2018 meeting.
Morales commented the difference for those working as contracted employee but paid elsewhere,
working local vs. remote office for clients outside Eagle County. The Board needs to determine
clarification of the work.
Board thinks Morales' comments should be discussed.
Wilkins will circle back to the Town wants to build community, he doesn't favor remote work but we
should figure it out.
McDougall was curious about the standard for remote work and how do you get proof.
The Board believed the remote worker needs to be defined, provide criteria to prove case the
employee's case.
McDougall motioned to enter Executive Session per C.R.S. §24-6-402(4)(a)(e) - to discuss the
purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of real, personal or other property interests and to
determine positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations regarding: Vail
InDEED applications and deed restrictions.
Motion: McDougall Second: Morales Vote: 5-0
Wilkins made a motion to exit the executive session and reenter the regular meeting.

Financial Update, Kathleen Halloran (5 minutes)
• Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, February collections are estimated to up 0.5%
from last year and up 0.5% compared to budget.
• Use Tax collections through March 28 total $197,618 compared to $147,967 from this
time last year. The annual budget totals $1,975,900.
• Pass sales from November through March 28 total $1,230,728 up 22.2% from prior
winter season. The significant increase in pass sales was largely due to the purchase
of blue passes by Vail Health due to loss of parking during construction.
• RETT collections through March 28 total $1,036,110 down 14.2% from this time last
year. The annual 2018 RETT budget totals $6.1 million.
Destimetrics Reporting - Follow Up, Mia Vlaar, (5 minutes)
There was some confusion around looking at reports as apples to apples with the additional
of Talisa. Additional reports are in the packet for further review. ADR is still holding quite
strong. July on the books is not showing a lot of early reservations yet. During the summer
when there are a lot of sports tournaments, Vail is at almost 95% occupancy on the
weekends. Ortiz suggested that maybe a Disney sporting tournament model, where there is a
requirement for players to stay in specific hotels or a waiver is required. Wadey said that
there are some issues with sports tournaments using the
Summer Parking Update, Greg Hall (10 minutes)
Parking task force looked into the summer parking program. Hall discussed the fact that there
are many cars staying overnight, during events there are almost 600 cars in the garage
VEAC Minutes April 10, 2018
May 1, 2018 - Page 262 of 269
overnight. All the employee parking passes will be enabled for the summer and value cards
will be turned on and they will be charged a $25 fee. Pink passes did not get turned on
because they don't have access to the garage in the winter. Email went out to 1000 pass
holders. Hall passed out an exempt lodging parking map. Imhoff mentioned that there are
probably 800 overnight cars parked during GoPro Mountain Games. The consistent message
is really important; the parking office is trying to get the message out early to lodges, etc.
Wadey suggested putting an ad in the paper before the season ends so employees can
understand what's happening in the summer.
There is lots of construction going on this summer, so the town is working on how to manage
parking for construction workers, village workers and guests. Boselli asked about bussing
people in from the outside and that's been suggested by the town, but it's hard to enforce.
There's a lot of positive messaging and encouragement out there around parking. Boselli said
he applauds the task force for deciding on charging for overnight parking. Newbury-Rediker
says that they tell guests to only bring one car. With regard to short term rentals, parking
vouchers are available if the short term rental location is licensed by the town.
Homework: Materials Distributed for Future Discussion
Neighboring Businesses Report Form, (5 minutes)
Vlaar requested for the members to bring back reports to the next meeting.
Economic Development Plan (5 minutes)
Vlaar asked for the group to review and make notes. The plan date is 2008 and it's
due for an update.
Town Manager's Report, Greg Clifton (10 minutes)
• As you go through the strategic plan, look at the goals. One of the topics he called out
was a "year round" economy. He would like to see a bigger picture approach; the
summers are saving the town. Couple that with discussion of events and weddings.
• Vail Health is one example of diversifying the economy.
• Parking is very important and the revenue summary helped inform some of the
decisions by the parking task force.
• The demographic in the summer is different than the winter, they may not be staying
overnight in hotels.
• Met with CML contact and discussed the annual mid -week conference with 1000
people. They are going to go elsewhere, spreading out around the state. Clifton
doesn't know the exact reasoning. Vail will lose that and we will work to try to get it
back.
• Alexander said that FBLA will move to Denver in 2019 because it's complex to have
lodging in multiple hotels.
• Vlaar stated that the topic of additional conference space needs to be raised again.
She also said that Vail Resorts might want to look into mid -week promotions for the
Front Range guest.
• Vlaar stated that there is a retail plan being discussed by the VLMDAC to target the
Front Range.
VEAC Minutes April 10, 2018
May 1, 2018 - Page 263 of 269
• Ortiz said that the town should look at the Dobson Arena footprint for further
development for conference space, etc. Imhoff said that Dobson Arena is great, but it
costs significant investment to enhance the interior look.
• Gordon said that there is a population on the other side of Dowd Junction that don't
enjoy coming into Vail. Gordon said he thinks they should feel comfortable coming into
Vail. Gordon mentioned that there is a population in Cordillera that is a target market.
• Clifton mentioned that there is an article regarding Whistler and there is some overlap
with the discussion about Vail and down valley.
• Ortiz mentioned converting fields to artificial turf and extending the season; it would
save water and be more environmentally friendly. It would also offer the potential for
additional tournaments.
• Newbury-Rediker mentioned that there are a lot of non -profits who ask for significantly
reduced rates.
• Vlaar said she would like to see more effort put into drawing down valley population
into Vail. Boselli mentioned that the Vail Farmers' Market is a successful example of
bringing people into Vail.
• Kundolf asked about the licenses for Short Term Rentals and have they been
increasing. Kathleen said that there will be a targeted effort to get more people
licensed. There are about 600 licenses right now and about 2500 listings.
• Coggin mentioned that an emphasis on big picture thinking with regard to working with
Vail Mountain. There is a challenge for Vail Mountain to differentiate itself from the
competitors. There is a time now for a strong branded message about how we are
providing a better experience. What is the co -branded message? Why do people come
to Vail?
• Kundolf mentioned that Vail has very little nightlife and that is a topic to consider for
guest engagement. We have great restaurants and rooms, but we don't have nightlife.
• Boselli stated that he thinks Vail is ahead of other resorts and it's time to take it up a
notch.
• Imhoff discussed updating Gerald R Ford Amphitheatre and the approach to the work
on the roof and future technology in terms of lessening environmental impact and
energy usage. He spoke about the new digital screen — 22' x 9.5' which will be
installed early May. The goal is to enhance experience and keeping the GRFA venue
as a premium venue.
• Clifton mentioned that the new Housing Department has been created and there were
lots of great candidates. George Ruther is now the head of the new Housing
Department. Now there is another vacancy to fill. That recruitment will span 3-5
months.

• There are a few groups coming into town in April. Vlaar and Wadey to work together
for business notifications of group business to merchants.
• Boselli said his retail was strong in March, up around 10%.
VEAC Minutes April 10, 2018
May 1, 2018 - Page 264 of 269
• Vlaar asked Imhoff to speak to the Colorado Classic in general terms. Imhoff said that
there has never been an event that will lockdown the town as much as this one. The
town will mostly likely be closed down from 9am-2:30pm. Clifton said that there is not
much room for error in terms of opening the town for exits and entrances. Vlaar stated
that there is a lot of information on the Colorado Classic website.
• Gordon just finished a deal where the property was purchased with a deed restriction.
The process was really smooth and now 2 new bedrooms were added to the program.
• Imhoff asked about the additional buildings in the Hotel Talisa and Gordon stated that
there is a group from Mexico who would like to tear down the buildings and build a
theatre with a small number of seats. Gordon specified that it's just the CMC building
and some of the condos to the west side.
• Vlaar discussed the new grocery store opening in Treetops, opening date TBD, but will
add a great location for guests.
• With regards to Ever Vail, there will be a discussion with the town council and a
precursor to decision-making and timeline. The discussion will be held May 1.
