Dave Chapin, Town Mayor ATTEST: Patty McKenny, Town Clerk Resolution No. 36, Series 2018 October 2, 2018 - Page 6 of 76 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Extrication Equipment Contract Award ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Memo Regarding Extrication Equipment Procurement TOWN Of UAIL October 2, 2018 - Page 7 of 76 TOWN OF VAIL' Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: Mark Novak, Fire Chief Date: October 2, 2018 Subject: Vehicle Extrication Equipment Contract Award I. Background In the 2018 budget, Town Council approved $100,000 for the purchase of vehicle extrication equipment. Extrication equipment is commonly known by various trade names such as "the Jaws of Life". This equipment is used to remove occupants from vehicles damaged in automobile accidents. The majority of the equipment used by Vail Fire is currently in excess of ten years old. New automobile design and construction technologies, especially high strength metal alloys, have made the existing equipment obsolete. In addition the new equipment will be battery powered hydraulics, which increases reliability and allows for greater portability of the extrication equipment. Extrication equipment from a variety of manufacturers was evaluated for this purchase. The evaluation involved a comparison of technical attributes, such as cutting and spreading force, weight, and battery capacity. Factors such as warranty terms and service requirements were also compared. Following the technical comparison, firefighters from Vail Fire conducted two days of field testing at a junkyard where they were able to validate technical data as well as evaluate factors such as ergonomics. Based upon this evaluation, Hurst E-Draulics were selected as best meeting the needs of Vail Fire and providing the best value. The procurement of the new extrication equipment will be sole -source procurement for the following reasons: 1) Hurst E-Draulic equipment was selected based upon performance attributes. 2) Hurst sells extrication equipment through a regional, exclusive distributorship model. 3) Pricing was obtained using the Fire Rescue group purchasing organization (GPO). The GPO has competitively bid this product and extends the bid pricing to agencies who participate in the GPO. There is no fee to participate in the GPO. October 2, 2018 - Page 8 of 76 The contract will be in the amount of $97,494.00 which will be for the purchase of four complete sets of extrication equipment. A complete set includes a cutter, spreader, and a ram. 11. Staff Recommendation Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the Town Attorney, to procure vehicle extrication equipment, in an amount not to exceed $97,494.00 Sample motion: I move to approve on consent, authorization for the Town Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the Town Attorney, for the procurement of Hurst E Draulic extrication equipment in an amount not to exceed $97,494.00 Town of Vail Page 2 October 2, 2018 - Page 9 of 76 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Minutes from September4, 2018 meeting ATTACHMENTS: Description September 4 2018 Town Council Meeting Minutes TOWN Of UAIL October 2, 2018 - Page 10 of 76 Vail Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, September 4, 2018 6:00 P.M.

Short Term Rental Regulations Discussion Presenter(s): Kathleen Halloran, Finance Director and Johannah Richards, Sales Tax and Licensing Administrator Action Requested of Council: Provide feedback on recommended adjustments to the current regulations Background: Short Term Regulations became effective March 1, 2018. Council received an update on the implementation of the regulations on July 17 and agreed to review certain terms of the ordinance. Staff Recommendation: Please see attached memo for staff recommendations Kathleen Halloran, Finance Director, outlined the topics addressed in her council packet memo and noted some of the nuances of the ordinance, especially as the language addressed the exemptions section. She noted the ordinance requires owners wishing to short term rent their property to obtain an STR license at an annual cost of $150. Other provisions of the regulation include: ❑ Designation of a local agent that resides within a 60 minute distance of the STR property and is available 24/7. The named agent must provide proof of distance through a driver's license, property tax record or voting record. ❑ Property owner must provide a notarized affidavit that they have specified safety measures in place such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers and that advertised occupancy limits comply with town code. The affidavit also validates the owner's agreement to comply with all town regulations and specifically mentions trash, parking, lighting and noise. ❑ The Property owner must identify who is designated for remitting sales & lodging taxes. ❑ The property owner must provide proof of written notice to an adjoining residential dwelling unit if the rental is located within a duplex. ❑ Signed acknowledgment of "Good Neighbor Guidelines". ❑ Advertisements of the rental must include the STR license number immediately following the rental description. ❑ AII sales and lodging taxes must be remitted timely, for each property (not on a lump sum basis). ❑ Complaints (such as noise, trash, parking, etc.) will be directed to the local agent. The agent must resolve the issue within 60 minutes (30 minutes between 11pm and 7am). The town's code enforcement or police may become involved if the property is not licensed, or if the complaint is not resolved. Then a formal complaint can be submitted to the town by the complainant. ❑ Three verified formal complaints may result in revocation of the STR license for that property. Once revoked, the license may not be renewed for two years. If a duplex unit, written consent from the neighboring unit must be obtained prior to renewing after revocation. There was council support of continuing the discussion about the various components of the regulations in light of feedback from the property management company representatives. Staff noted there research suggests some options to reduce administrative work required by property managers and addressing some enforcement challenges, as follows: Town Council Meeting Minutes of September 4, 2018 Page 3 October 2, 2018 - Page 13 of 76 ■ Amending Ordinance No. 15, Series 2017 to allow a designated local agent to represent the property owner for the submission of application forms and notarized affidavits. This would require the local agent to be jointly and severally liable. ■ Staff could pursue a more efficient online application process to enable "bulk" application submittals for property managers handling multiple STR licenses. ■ Sales tax payment is unique by STR tax ID tied to individual owners, however remittance is quarterly. ■ Recommendation to "de -criminalize" the short term rental ordinance violations would allow for established fines or penalties to be administered by designated staff (usually the Finance Director) rather than issue a summons to court. Should the fines not be paid, then the town has the ability to summon to court. Recommendation that a violation of nonpayment of sales tax as well as other violations of town code (parking, trash, noise, etc.) will continue to be considered criminal acts, subject to the daily maximum fine of $2,650 per day and up to 180 days jail time. Chapin invited public input at this time and a number of property managers addressed the topic: ■ Ted Steers, Vail Village Rental, expressed concerns about exclusion from the "exemption" and requested that the ordnance be changed to allow him to serve as basically the booking agent. ■ Bart Cuomo, Vail Realty, expressed frustration that the ordinance has created more work for them and it is alienating the people who own the properties and want to short term rent them. He continued with his concern about the need to collect data with an inquiry as to why that isn't propriety information. He suggested their stakeholder group continue to work with staff to modify the regulations. ■ Mike Connolly, Triumph Mountain Properties, expressed frustration as well and wanted to see some changes to the regulations related to the administrative requirements that create more work for them. ■ Tim Parker, property manager, expressed concern on behalf of his clients and creates more administrative paperwork for the managers and owners. ■ Tim Hargreaves, the Willows, requested that the exemption should be extended to the property managers. There were additional comments from town council and they agreed that they would support adjusting the exemption provision and requested staff continue to work with the property managers. There was also support to allow property management companies named as the local agent to sign and notarize on behalf of property owners for applications, life safety affidavits and the Good Neighbor Guidelines and the recommendation to de -criminalize violations of short term rental ordinance. Staff noted they would return with draft amendments to the ordinance at a future meeting. 7. Action Items 7.1.

Presentations / Discussion 5.1. Initial Findings of the West Middle Creek Development Feasibility Report Presentation and Discussion (Middle Creek Subdivision) Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director and Bill Pierce, Pierce Architects Action Requested of Council: What additional information, if any, does the Town Council need to make a determination about future and potential uses of the West Middle Creek Parcel for residential development (Tract A, Middle Creek Subdivision)? Background: The purpose of this memorandum is to present the initial findings of the West Middle Creek Development Feasibility Report (the "Report"). The Report was prepared at the direction of the Vail Town Council to better understand the feasibility of multi -family residential development on the West Middle Creek Site and to obtain additional objective information and data. George Ruther, Housing Director, noted some key findings from his council packet memo which addressed the following topics: Zoning, land use, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, slope analysis, hazards / geotech, wildlife, floodplain, utilities, open space, vehicular access, fire access and public safety, potential development, construction cost analysis, and finally the conclusion, below: CONCLUSION Highly constrained areas have limited development potential; however, the areas are not off limits when following the proper steps necessary for new construction. There is a small porton towards the center al the site to the southern side where residential development cou Id occur within a 30-40943 slope. The Town Code states no struature shall he hui ft in any flood hazard zone or on a slope of forty p-ercent [4U%) or greater except in a sing le-fam ify residential, two - lam ily residential, or two-family primarOsecondary residential zone district. Otherwise, a variance would be required in -his event to build cn a slope greater than 40% due to the practical difficulty resulting from topographic conditions on the site_ Variances ars governed by the provisions of 12-17, Vail Town Code. Significant retaining walls and cuts in the grade would be needed as well. Working within such a highly constrained site will add significant costs to site grading, excavation, and construction. Bill Pierce, architect, presented some highlights about the feasibility report suggesting some of the developable characteristics, challenges and considerations that their analysis notes. Mayor Chapin invited public input and several comments were made: • Steve Lindstrom spoke on behalf of the VLHA and expressed support for such location as an option for workforce housing. He suggested the idea be kept on some kind of inventory list so that when the time is ripe the location could be evaluated again. Town Council Meeting Minutes of September 18, 2018 Page 2 October 2, 2018 - Page 18 of 76 ■ Allan Danson noted he was pleased to see the site could be an option for housing and was hopeful it could be rezoned and used as part of a negotiation approach with VRI for the East Vail property. ■ Jim Lamont, resident, noted there are many challenges including the need to change its designation with public support and suggested any proceedings occur with caution and keen deliberation. The council members were satisfied the report was completed and provided helpful information about the residential development feasibility of the parcels. Some were encouraged that the report suggested the land could used as an option for housing and suggested it be considered as an additional housing site location and not a substitute for other locations. There was a review of three possible building layouts on the land as well as a discussion about the need for zoning changes if it were considered for future housing development. There were others who preferred focusing on properties that were already deemed for housing improvements, such as Timber Ridge. 6. Action Items 6.1.

Town Hall Renovations CML Exec Bd meeting Nagano Delegates Upper Valley Dinner Comm Dev Updates Town Manager's Office 970.479.2106 970.479.2157 fax Civic Area Planning Process We met with the consultant team member who is overseeing the public engagement process and discussed the formulation of a Visioning Process Committee, the invitation for which was sent to you from our Community Development Director on September 26th. It is appended hereto for your convenience. With the reduced Councilmember attendance at the October 2nd meeting, we will be slating the Oct 16th meeting to determine two members of the Town Council to be a part of the committee. This committee, to emphasize, will not have any increased substantive input into the planning endeavor, but will rather assist in orchestrating the process to be followed, utilizing best practices and a very collaborative and inclusive strategy. Team Building Earlier this summer we reported the successful team building exercise in which the Community Development Department participated in Breckenridge. In continuing with this effort, the department staff visited Denver on September 27th to enjoy a Rockies game. The tickets were purchased months ago before there was any notion of this game having playoff implications, which it did. To allow for the visit, the department was closed on the 27th ... a sign to that effect was posted early in the week and the Admin team had taken the appropriate measures to make sure all our customers were aware of the temporary office closure. IT Update — Security As part of the Colorado Bureau of Investigations requirements for Public Safety Information Systems, we are required to physically secure our building and IT computer rooms. Basically, because we house both the Police Department and 911 Center in the Municipal Building, we need to bolster security and have record of who is coming and going into these areas. The existing access control system (about thirty years old) does not meet CBI's standards. We would like to upgrade the entire system for the PD building, inclusive of enhanced card and keypad access, and additional cameras. The total cost is about $70k. We are asking for permission to proceed in October and do a supplemental request in December. October 2, 2018 - Page 23 of 76 Budget Process The week of September 24th through 28th was a busy week with scheduled meetings from each town department, and a few divisions within those departments, evaluating and discussing budget requested for the 2019 year. This included significant projects, programs, and proposed staffing changes. Work will continue to compile the outcomes of these meetings, with internal review and amendments, prior to bringing forth the proposed departmental budgets to Council during the first meeting in November. Stay tuned. I want to recognize the hard work of Kathleen Halloran, Carlie Smith, and Krista Miller in orchestrating these meetings and compiling the many spreadsheets and memoranda used to inform these discussions. ATM Recruitment With over 100 applicants, we have narrowed the field to six semi-finalists who will be interviewed in person on Monday, October 1st. A panel comprising myself, Krista Miller, Mayor Chapin, and Mayor Pro Tem Bruno will be conducting the interviews. It is my intent to have an outcome at the conclusion of the interviews. Stay tuned. VR Retreat Follow -Up We had a productive staff follow-up on the outcomes of the retreat, with both Phil Metz and Kristin K. Williams attending on behalf of VR, on September 25th Attending from ToV were myself, Patty McKenny, Mia Vlaar, and Suzanne Silverthorn. This group is working to come up with a draft of takeaways from the retreat, and a road map for moving forward on some select items where strong alignment exists between the two groups. As discussed at the retreat, focus is upon the guest experience. It is anticipated that we will have something for Council to review during the first meeting in November. Absence from Office Again as a reminder, I will absent from the office from October 4th through the 19th. This will prompt my need to miss the Council meeting on October 16th, and Patty McKenny, as acting manager in my absence, will fill in. Town Manager's Report Page 2 October 2, 2018 - Page 24 of 76 Town Manager's Report Transit Coordinating Team — Site Visit at Google The Transit Coordinating Team, inclusive of Greg Hall and myself representing the Town of Vail, visited the Google facility in Boulder on Thursday, September 20th for a series of presentations regarding ideas and strategies for the "Info Hub" platform that has been reported to Council periodically. This platform may be based upon Google navigation and mapping, hence the visit. It was very productive and the presentations were quite good. Much was learned regarding emerging technologies in this area, and it is exciting to say the least as to what the possibilities are for having a successful information platform. While this is all predicated upon regional transit, it will be inclusive of other features (i.e., infrastructure, utilities, visitor information, app interfaces, maps), that collectively make for a very user friendly and "single -stop shop" information hub. Town Hall Renovations Staff has been exploring possible updates to the office suites in the Town Clerk/Finance/Town Manager area and some adjoining spaces. The current space is quite dated, somewhat inefficient, and experiencing attrition. The update will also address the public greeting area. Specifically, the remodel will include updates and improvements to the flooring, ceilings, paint, and lighting in the main area, the individual offices as noted, and the conference room. Additionally, there will be new office furniture (from one vendor) that is more functional, less "executive", allows for standing, and accommodates more meeting spaces. The cost of this project is estimated at about $95K. The project will be covered by savings from the CIP Fund and will be primarily completed by the PW Facilities team this fall. A refreshed look and "Vail brand" appearance will be achieved. It is noted that with the launching of the Civic Plan process there may be decisions made that concern the future of the municipal building and redevelopment in this area. There is consensus that some interim improvements such as this and others (see note regarding door security above) are nevertheless needed. Related, we are ordering new chairs for the Town Council Chambers, which are very attractive and quite comfortable. You will be pleased. CML Executive Board We met on Friday, September 21st. I lumped this meeting with the Google Site visit, referenced above, staying in Denver the night of Thursday Sept 20th. Sam Mamet has officially announced his retirement after 40 years of service. Focus was on Amendment 74 and recruitment process for new director. Page 3 October 2, 2018 - Page 25 of 76 Visit from Nagano Delegates The Mayor, Patty McKenny, Mia Vlaar and I met with Nagano Japan Tourism Officials on September 16th for a walking tour and lunch in Vail Village. They were then joined by a representative of VRI, for a late afternoon visit to Epic Discovery and a jeep tour (sponsored by Vail Resorts). Both the Vail Farmers' Market and Oktoberfest were happening in Vail Village so it was a great opportunity for us to talk about Vail's event programming and tourism industry. Guests visiting from Nagano Prefectural Government Tourism Department included the Director General, Akira Kumagai, and the Assistant Director of Tourism Promotion Office, Ms. Naomi Sunohara. There were also visitors from their tourism organization, Takaaki Kaneko and Blair Guardia along with Ikenotaira Hotel & Resorts representatives, CEO, Yoshihiro Yajima and General Manager, Hajime Yumoto. A great deal of information was shared about each resort's marketing, tourism and environmental programs and best practices. Related, please see attached notice of an upcoming event that should not be missed — an evening of Taiko drumming with world renowned Makoto Yamamoto, joined by members of the Boulder -based Taiko Summit Colorado Group, right here in Vail. Proposition 110 and Regional Transit Planning Not in the realm of advocacy, but rather in the interest of preparedness, a group of us will be meeting on Friday, Sept 28th, to discuss possible strategies for regional transit enhancements should Proposition 110 be approved in November. This is the measure that will, if voter approved, institute a 0.62 cent sales tax increase with 20% of revenues being shared back to municipalities, and 20% to counties. The meeting will start formulating possible strategies to see shared - back revenues used, in part, for regional transit enhancements. There is also a multi -modal component of the collective revenues that likewise can be used for these and related purposes. Upper Valley Dinner December dates were recently sent to you in an email that noted December 5th, 6th, or 12th as possible dates to host our inaugural dinner with our neighboring communities, Minturn, Red Cliff, Avon and Eagle County. We will be coordinating that effort in the very near future with an invitation for elected officials and leadership teams to join us for dinner at 6 pm at the Donovan Pavilion. This is for officials only, and not guests or significant others, as we need to keep the numbers manageable. We will also be working on some programming of interest for the group. If you have other suggestions, please feel free to contact Patty or myself. Town Manager's Report Page 4 October 2, 2018 - Page 26 of 76 Town of Vail Civic Area Visioning Invitation to Participate in the Process Committee TO: Town of Vail, Town Council FROM: Town of Vail Civic Area Visioning Process Project Team RE: Town of Vail Civic Area Visioning Process Committee As you are aware, the Town of Vail has started its Civic Area Visioning Project. With the help of the selected consultant team, the Town is working to develop an outreach and public engagement plan to involve all community members in the brainstorming, design, and visioning process for the new Civic Area plan. We are inviting two (2) members from Town Council, and two (2) members from Planning Commission to be a part of the Process Committee for the duration of this 12 month project. Selections of the Process Committee members will be made by Town Council at the October 16, 2018 meeting. The Purpose of the committee is to: • Engage decision -makers in developing, supporting and ensuring best practices relating to the overall planning process and public engagement for the Town of Vail Civic Area Visioning Project; and, • Participate in shaping an inclusive and collaborative process that facilitates meaningful exchange with a diverse range of partners, groups and individuals, including those typically underrepresented in public processes. Discussion of policy issues or plan content will not be part of this committee's purview. The full Town Council and Planning Commission will advise, review and decide on content and policy through other opportunities, including study sessions, outreach events and project updates. Each committee member will be expected to participate throughout the duration of the 12 month project, which will kick off in October 2018. The committee will meet every other month (6 times total). The Project Team will provide an agenda to the committee ahead of each meeting, and bring presentations and background materials for discussion as relevant to the corresponding phase of work. The Role of each committee member is to: • Advise staff and consultants on process, including upcoming engagement planning; and, • Be a conduit for information between the stakeholders, our project team and the community regarding Process. We will ask Town Council to select the process committee on October 16, 2018, and will work with the selected members to set up a meeting schedule. Thank you in advance for considering working with us on this important effort.

SoulCycle, Inc. has the unique ability to bring its inspirational instructors and pioneering indoor cycling classes on the road in order to offer a true and custom designed SoulCycle experience anywhere in the world. II. Background SoulCycle, Inc. is a New York City -based fitness company with fitness studios in 13 U.S. states and 3 studio locations in Canada. Founded in 2006, it offers indoor cycling workout classes.

PRESENTER(S): Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Town Council is asked to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 on second reading. BACKGROUND: The existing regulations on the leasing of parking spaces in the Town of Vail were first adopted in 1977, and the last significant modification was in 1985. The current regulations are obsolete, and have not resulted in significant applications to lease parking spaces. New technology can help to identify vacant, available parking spaces, but the existing regulations needs to be amended to facilitate, and in some cases legalize, short term leasing of parking. The proposed regulations will open additional areas where short term leasing of parking spaces is allowed, while protecting the character of low density residential neighborhoods. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 on Second Reading. ATTACHMENTS: Description Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, Leasing of Parking Spaces - Staff Memorandum Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 Leasing of Parking Spaces - Map of Zone Districts October 2, 2018 - Page 58 of 76 TOWN OF VAIL' Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From Community Development Department Date: October 2, 2018 Subject: Second reading of Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, an ordinance amending Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, Vail Town Code, to modify the regulations applicable to the short-term leasing of private parking spaces, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0028) Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Chris Neubecker I. SUMMARY The applicant, Town of Vail, is requesting a second reading of Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018 for a Prescribed Regulations Amendment to amend Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, Vail Town Code, to amend the regulations applicable to the short- term leasing of private parking spaces. The current Town Code only allows leasing of parking under limited circumstances; the Town is requesting an amendment to the code in order to facilitate the short term leasing of parking spaces by adding zone districts where leasing of parking spaces would be allowed, and by simplifying the regulations. Based on input received from the Town Council at first reading, staff has provided a recommended change to the ordinance, to address the zone districts where leasing of parking spaces would be allowed, to include the Parking (P) zone district, as well as Special Development Districts with no underlying zone districts, if in compliance with any parking restrictions otherwise imposed by the Special Development District. This change will ensure that parking can be leased at the parking structure in the Cascade Village. As requested by Council, we have also included language concerning electronic reservations for parking spaces, to require on the reservation page a contact name and telephone number of a person or business to contact in case of a problem or conflict with a parking space. October 2, 2018 - Page 59 of 76 II. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On August 27, 2018 the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) voted 6-0 to recommend that the Vail Town Council approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, upon first reading. This recommendation was based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of the August 27, 2018 memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the evidence and testimony presented. III. BACKGROUND The existing regulations in place on the leasing of parking spaces in the Town of Vail were first adopted in 1977, and the last significant modification was in 1985. Other minor modifications to the regulations have taken place since these dates, but have not resulted in significant changes to the regulations. The current regulations are obsolete, and have not resulted in significant applications to lease parking spaces. Staff is aware of only one (1) property that has leased parking spaces through the existing regulations. If there are other parking spaces being leased on a short term or long term basis, staff is not aware of them, and they have not been identified to the Town as a problem. IV. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT LANGUAGE The proposed amendments include repealing and replacing Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, Vail Town Code. The effects of the proposed ordinance include the following: • Removing the requirement for a permit; • Removing the requirement for a parking utilization study; • Eliminating the minimum size of an eligible parking lot (Current requirement is a parking lot with at least ten (10) parking spaces); • Prohibiting leasing of parking spaces where access is required through an established pedestrian mall; • Requiring written approval for leasing parking spaces on commonly owned property (HOA property, for example); • Requiring on-site signage identifying a name and telephone number for the person or management company to contact concerning parking disputes; and • Adding more zone districts where leasing of parking spaces is allowed. These zone districts include higher density residential and commercial areas, while eliminating lower density residential zone districts. • Zone districts where leasing of parking is currently allowed include: ➢ Commercial Core 1 ➢ Commercial Core 2 ➢ Commercial Core 3 Town of Vail Page 2 October 2, 2018 - Page 60 of 76 ➢ High Density Multiple Family ➢ Vail Village Townhouse ➢ Public Accommodation ➢ Lionshead Mixed Use 1 ➢ Lionshead Mixed Use 2 ➢ Special Development District • New zone districts where leasing of parking spaces would also be allowed by this ordinance include: (Note: Language shown in bold is a proposed change from first reading). ➢ General Use ➢ Arterial Business ➢ Public Accommodation 2 ➢ Commercial Service Center ➢ Ski Base Recreation ➢ Ski Base Recreation 2 ➢ Parking ➢ Special Development District in which one of the foregoing zone districts is the underlying zone district ➢ Special Development District with no underlying zone district, in compliance with any parking restrictions otherwise imposed by the Special Development District. The Vail Town Council requested the ordinance be amended on second reading to address electronic reservations. The Council suggested including language in the ordinance to require that reservation agencies include on their website a contact name and telephone number of the person, agency or business to contact in case of a problem or conflict with the use of a reserved parking space. Based on this request, the following additional language is included in the ordinance for second reading: E. Contact Information: Any person who accepts electronic reservations for the leasing of parking spaces pursuant to this Section shall include on the reservation page a contact name and telephone number in case of any problems with the leased parking spaces. Signage Upon further consideration of proposed signage requirements, the Community Development Department believes that requiring signage for leased parking spaces could lead to clutter if several parking spaces are leased on a single site, particularly if the spaces are owned or managed by different people, thus requiring separate signs. There are a number of ways that parking spaces may be identified, including unit names or space numbers posted on a wall, using free standing posts, or painted on the ground. Alternative language that could be included in the ordinance is suggested below: D. Signage: Any person leasing parking spaces under this Section shall post adcquatc signagc on the premises clearly identify the leased parking space Town of Vail Page 3 October 2, 2018 - Page 61 of 76 on site to ensure that the leased parking spaces are used and occupied in accordance with the applicable lease agreement. At least one (1) on-site sign shall includc thc namc and tcicphonc numbcr of thc person to contact concerning parking disputes. If the Town Council supports this suggested language, we recommend it be included in any motion. Alternately, the Council may choose to leave the language as proposed in the attached ordinance, and if problems arise in the future staff can present an ordinance at that time to address the issues. V. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, upon second reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council passes the following motion: "The Vail Town Council approves, on second reading, Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, an ordinance amending Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, Vail Town Code, to modify the regulations applicable to the short-term leasing of private parking spaces, with the modification to the ordinance, and setting forth details in regard thereto." Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2018, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council makes the following findings: "Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VI of the Staff memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated August 27, 2018, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Vail Town Council finds: 1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the development objectives of the town; and 2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the sign regulations; and, 3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

The Lion investigated with the Town prior to purchasing its LSV and received the attached phone message from Jesse Parros at Code Enforcement. In reliance on that message, the HOA purchased its LSV for use between The Lion and Arrabelle for the drop-off of guests and skies. It is a short distance along roads posted at 15 mph and the LSV was chosen, not only for convenience of guests, but also as a clean -energy alternative to van shuttling. Since the purchase of the LSV, The Lion received the attached email from Randy Braught at the Town citing the Town's Neighborhood Electric Vehicles Ordinance and deeming use of the LSV improper on Town roads. 2. LSVs are very new and most jurisdictions are unclear on exactly what they are. To summarize, a LSV is not a golf cart. A golf cart has a serial number while an LSV receives a full 17 character VIN registration number, meaning that it meets stringent federal manufacturing requirements necessary to qualify it as road -legal under Colorado law. The safety measures include such items as seat belts, headlamps and taillamps, turning signals, windshields with wipers, and side mirrors, all of which must meet federal safety manufacturing guidelines. [See attached federal regulation, 49 -CFR 571.500] A golf cart, due to how it was originally manufactured, could never be registered as a LSV. 3. A LSV, by reason of its VIN number, qualifies it as a Tax Class C vehicle under Colorado Statute 42-4-109.5. As such, the LSV can be titled and registered with the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles and receive a license plate, which permits it to be operated on roads posted at no more than 35 mph. [copy of 42-4-109.5 is attached] 4. The LSV purchased by The Lion Association has been registered with the Colorado DMV, has a valid state license plate and has all required insurance under Colorado law. 5. It is our position that The Lion Association's LSV is not a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) and does not fall under the requirements of the Town's NEV Ordinance, which is designed to regulate unregistered golf carts that possess neither the stringent safety equipment of a LSV nor the state law authority to operate on roads. [Town NEV Ordinance is also attached here.] We respectfully request that the Town recognize The Lion Association's LSV as permitted to operate on Town roads in accordance with Colorado law. Its use would not only represent a safe use on the low -speed roads on which it is planned to operate, but would also represent an attractive alternative to high -emission vehicles. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you. Best regards, Rick Richard D.

I tried calling you, but did not want to delay a response to you any longer than necessary. While Title 42 of the Colorado Revised Statutes defines your vehicle as a low -powered electric vehicle, their use on the public roads in the Town of Vail is not allowed under town ordinance. That Town of Vail is chartered as a home -rule municipality, which grants the Town Council the ability to make such regulation. Town ordinance 7-8-1 Neighborhood Electric Vehicles specifically prohibits their use; with very little exception. Also by definition, the vehicle you have described and other low powered electric vehicles defined under Title 42-1-102, meet the TOV ordinance definition of a neighborhood electric vehicle. I've attached a copy of this ordinance for your review. In addition to their use on public roadways being prohibited, neighborhood electric vehicles have no permitted use in "Commercial Core II," which is the Lionshead area (TOV Ord 7-8-4). Finally, the use of a neighborhood electric vehicle "engaging in the transport of either passengers or goods, which are neither employees of nor property belonging to, the commercial entity" is prohibited (TOV Ord. 7-8-6). A violation of this ordinance is a misdemeanor traffic offense, with shared liability amongst both the operator and the commercial entity that owns the electric vehicle. I understand and fully appreciate your statement of understanding the potential community ramifications and your desire to be a good neighbor. You are well within your right to take this matter before Town Council for review, and/or recommendation. However, after consulting with the Town Attorney, at this point the use of your electric vehicle upon the roadways in the Town of Vail will not be allowed.
