Amendment 74 declares that any state or local government law or regulation that "reduces" the "fair market value" of a private parcel is subject to "just compensation."

The increased demands on Colorado's transportation infrastructure has resulted in increased traffic congestion, safety concerns, air pollution, and lost worker productivity. the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has identified $9 billion in much needed statewide transportation projects that lack funding. Proposition 110 could be expected to raise $767 million in its first year and allow for the bonding of $6 billion for state transportation projects. Eagle County and its communities are expected to receive over $58.5 million in state transportation funding for local projects over the next 20 years from this revenue source, which will help bring an estimated $293 million in additional transportation funding to improve Eagle County mobility. 4.7.

PURPOSE The purpose of this item is to: • Provide Town Council the Parking and Transportation Task Force (PATTF) recommendation for Winter 2018-2019 Parking Program • Request Town Council approve the Winter 2018-2019 Parking Program 11. BACKGROUND The Parking & Transportation Task Force met on September 13, 2018 to review statistics from the winter 2017- 2018 season as well as make recommendations for Winter 2018 — 2019 Parking Program. The Parking & Transportation Task Force was formed in 1999 in an advisory capacity and has been enacted through the years at the direction of the Vail Town Council. In reinstating the Task Force, the role of the 12 -member group is to provide advisory input and recommendations on parking, transit and traffic operations. Representatives are as follows: • • . • Representing the retail community - Meg Hanlon and Hugh Paine Representing the restaurant community - Bill Suarez Representing the lodging community - Brian Butts Representing the community -at -large - Kent Johnson, Andrew Lanes and Don Marks Representing Vail Valley Medical Center - Darryl Flores (Cheryl Cannataro Alt.) Representing Vail Resorts - Doug Lovell and Jeff Babb Representing the Vail Town Council - Mayor Dave Chapin and Jen Mason 1 October 16, 2018 - Page 10 of 4 The Task Force is chaired by Mayor Chapin and supported by various departments and agencies to assist with technical expertise. Recommended Winter 2018- 2019 Rate and Parking Structure: Existing Proposed 0 to 30 Free Free 30 to 1 Free Free 1 to 1.5 Free Free 1.5 to 2 $ 5 Free 2 to 3 $10 $10 3 too $20 $20 4 to 15 $30 $30 15 to 24 $50 $50 Recommended Parking Pass Prices Existing Proposed Gold $3300 $3300 Silver $2000 $2000 Blue $1250 $1250 Green $ 625 $ 625 Red $ 450 (Red Sandstone parking garage) Pink $ 200 $ 200 The adopted goal of the Town of Vail for parking during the winter is to provide a parking program in which all but 15 days of overflow parking occur. This past winter there were 10 days of overflow parking. III. TASK FORCE DISCUSSIONS 1 WINTER 2018-2019 The recommendations of the Parking and Transportation Task Force for the Winter 2018- 2019 Parking Program are targeted to: • Increase the use of the current underutilized parking supply during peak periods. • Decrease the demand for parking spaces during peak periods to free up spaces. • Encourage the use of carpooling and transit. • Discourage the use of rental cars. • Encourage the use of short-term parking for business and community opportunities. • Encourage the reduction in Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) as outlined in the Town's Environmental Strategic Plan as a 20% VMT reduction goal. The PATTF identified the following strategies to accomplish the goals and influence both the supply and demand side of parking for the upcoming season: Supply The completion of the Red Sandstone Parking Garage will provide 120 additional spaces every day and up to 160 spaces during non -school days. This is in addition to the town 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 11 of 4 receiving CDOT permission to use the 100 free parking areas on the N Frontage Road west of the West Vail roundabout everyday this season which will offset the loss of 210 spaces at Vail Health. In addition, the recently adopted zoning code revisions allowing the short term leasing of private spaces should create an increase in underutilized private spaces during peak days. 1 1/2 vs 2 Hour Free Parking Period The PATTF reviewed the 1 1/2 hour free parking period verses 2 hour free parking period and after some discussion recommended the 2 hour free period return, however the rest of the rate structure will not be affected. The change was due to both concerns from a community use standpoint (see attached letters) and from this being one of the vocal concerns with the changes from the previous year on the citizen survey. Season Parking Passes The only change in season parking passes is the introduction of the Red pass to access the Red Sandstone Parking Garage. The task force felt the garage was an upgrade to an open lot but less desirable to the existing parking at close -in structures and recommended a price in between the green pass and the pink pass. The committee only discussed employee use of the lot, but it could be opened up and sold to employees working at least 30 hours per week in the town of Vail, It is recommended to limiting overnight usage to a maximum of 48 hours to discourage the storing of vehicles. The Red Sandstone garage is a pass -only access lot. The remaining surface Tots at the school will be shared by Vail Gymnastics and Red Sandstone Elementary School for visitor use. Transit In order to encourage the use of the free outlying parking to the fullest, the Task Force recommends the West Vail Express bus service frequency introduced last year to remain in place. IV. RECOMMENDED WINTER 2017-2018 PARKING PROGRAM The Task Force makes the following recommendations when considering all the variables, policies and dynamics of the Vail parking program: reducing demand, the desire to encourage transit and carpooling use, discourage driving, align parking policies with our environmental policies, while recognizing the need to cover costs of increased parking operations and transit and other alternative enhancements. Winter 2018-2019 objectives and recommendations • Require construction projects to have an employee transportation and parking plan • Work with ECO Transit to support increased service in 2018 through county budget process • Develop a marketing and messaging plan around the following to reach 15 day overflow goal o Walking o Don't rent a car o Environmental effects of driving 3 October 16, 2018 - Page 12 of 4 o Healthy lifestyles o Reduce congestion o Promote transit use o Ridesharing (Uber, Lyft) o Carpooling o Employee van pools o Biking o Random Acts of Kindness/Guest Recovery • Enhancing additional winter transit service • Long-term storage of cars • Inventory winter usage of private lots IV. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS COSTS AND BUDGET IMPLICATIONS The Vail Parking and Transportation Task Force and staff have provided cost and budget projections on the final recommended plan. The cost of increasing the free period from 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours may see a decrease in overall revenue, but the hope is that increased pass sales with the Red Sandstone Garage will offset the reduction. VI. ACTION REQUESTED Approve or approve with modifications the Winter 2018-2019 Parking Program as recommended by the Parking and Transportation Task Force. Approving the program is required prior to pass sales which begin on October 29tH Recommended Rate Structure: Existing Proposed 0 to 30 Free Free 30 to 1 Free Free 1 to 1.5 Free Free 1.5 to 2 $ 5 Free 2 to 3 $10 $10 3 to4 $20 $20 4 to 15 $30 $30 15 to 24 $50 $50 Recommended Parking Pass Prices Existing Proposed Gold $3300 $3300 Silver $2000 $2000 Blue $1250 $1250 Green $ 625 $ 625 Red $ 450 Pink $ 200 $ 200 4 October 16, 2018 - Page 13 of 4 VII.

ATTACHMENTS Staff memos 5 October 16, 2018 - Page 14 of 4 TOWN OF VAIL ' Memorandum TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Greg Clifton, Town Manager DATE: October 2, 2018 SUBJECT: Recommendation from Parking Task Force Council, while I will be absent from your discussion of parking on October 16th, I wanted to share a couple of quick comments for your consideration, respectfully. While the Parking Task Force wrestles with a multitude of issues and recommendations related to parking, I simply want to address one item, and that is the 90 -minute free parking. Specifically, the decision a year ago to further restrict the 2 -hour free parking exemption to 90 minutes likely represents the one topic of concern and/or complaint that has been stated to me on numerous occasions. I have not had many complaints over the rate adjustments beyond that singular issue. I believe that our Community Survey likewise revealed some community discontent with this particular decision. Also, please refer to the attached letter from our Vail Town Library, representing the most recent example of how the restriction may not be working well for parts of the community. There were certain mitigation efforts taken to soften the restriction, notably the $5 voucher program. I have found that program to be a bit clunky and inefficient. The recommendation is to restore the 2 -hour provision. The Task Force agreed with this, but it was not unanimous. I understand and wholly appreciate the objectives for the restriction, but discussions with our parking staff has revealed the very effective enforcement of looping and other irregularities can be accomplished without additional infrastructure and staffing. We have the means to effectively deal with these problems without having to further restrict this particular allowance. Thank you for your consideration. October 16, 2018 - Page 15 of 4 TOWN OF VAIL 292 West Meadow Drive Vail, Colorado 81657 vaillibrary.com Town of Vail Parking Task Force Town of Vail 75 S Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 August 30, 2018 RE: Reinstating 2 hour FREE parking at town parking structures Members of the Parking Task Force; Public Library 970.479.2187 970.479.2192 fax At a recent Library Staff Meeting, discussion of the change to 90 minutes of free parking at the TOV parking structures this past winter was discussed. Greg Clifton, Town Manager, was in attendance and encouraged library staff to share their views on the inadequacy of the 90 -minute free parking. Clearly stated, the library staff and its volunteers support the return of 2 -hours free parking in the town structures, during those times when the structures charge for parking. Accessing the library is an issue mentioned in the town survey. Because the library does not have its own parking, library users rely heavily on public parking. Many library users access the library via the Lionshead parking structure. The 90 minute window was not long enough to get to the library, use it and be able to leave the structure without being charged. The reduction in free parking this past year — from 2 hours of free parking to 90 minutes of free parking, sparked numerous negative comments from library users across the board; children, seniors and library volunteers were the most impacted. Children cannot use the library without adults to get them there. Children's Programs compete with parking and are losing numbers because of access. Seniors need a little extra time to get to and from the library safely. Library volunteers were unfairly impacted and could not remain to complete a shift, until TOV was kind enough to provide coupons to allow them to park for an additional 30 -minutes. Please reinstate the 2 hour -free parking for the 2018/2019 season. Vail Public Library is only one destination that will benefit from the access. Thank you for your consideration.

Objectives for Updating the Plan: The process for updating the 1994 Plan was designed to address the following broad objectives: 1. Confirm the community's overall goals and priorities for the Plan. 2. Provide better direction for the potential development of recreation trails. 3. Evaluate town -owned lands for how they can be used to meet community needs. 4. Define management strategies for Town -owned lands. 5. Protection of environmentally sensitive lands/wildlife. October 16, 2018 - Page 21 of 4 Throughout the past year the Vail Town Council has reviewed the Plan over the course of seven (7) public hearings and three (3) update sessions. Public input was gathered over the last year and a half planning process which included public workshops, trails scoping sessions, six (6) Planning and Environmental Commission hearings and a web portal. Public input and Council comments have been applied to each of the sections in the Plan: 1) environmentally sensitive lands, 2) use of town lands, and 3) trails. Changes as a result of the PEC and Council processes are indicated by green and red text, respectively, and a summary has been provided (Attachment A). III. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Vail Town Council approve Resolution No. 37, Series of 2018 as presented. Should the Vail Town Council approve Resolution No. 37, staff recommends the Council find that the Plan has achieved the goals and objectives as set forth by the community, and includes action items that are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in general, and the priorities of the Vail Town Council Action Plan; balance our economic, social, and environmental needs to deliver a sustainable community.

This update process was initiated by the Vail Town Council due to the age of the '94 Plan and in response to many conditions that have changed over the past twenty- four years. The broad objectives of this planning process were to: • Confirm the community's goals for the Plan, • Evaluate Action Items from the '94 Plan and identify new Action Items to further goals for protecting environmentally sensitive lands and addressing other goals of the Plan, • Provide better direction regarding recreation trails, • Evaluate how Town -owned lands can be used to address community needs, and • Define management strategies for Town -owned lands. Community Planning Process Community input was an integral part of this planning process and involved the following: • Three community scoping sessions • Two community input sessions • Trail -specific small group meetings and a community -wide meeting • A wildlife forum • Use of the Town's web -based portal to obtain community input, and • Public hearings with the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council. Environmentally Sensitive Lands The acquisition and protection of environmentally sensitive and other lands was a major focus of the '94 Plan. During this update process community input was clear that the protection of sensitive lands remains a very high priority. In 1994, an evaluation of all privately -owned lands was completed that identified thirty environmentally sensitive parcels to be acquired and protected by the Town. A similar process was done as a part of this update process. The updated Plan identifies fifteen such parcels (some of which were also recommend in the '94 Plan). The Plan also recommends establishing a task force to further study techniques for the protection of environmentally sensitive lands that could include increased use of the Town's Designated Open Space process and the use of conservation easements. Town -owned Lands and Use of Lands The '94 Plan identified land needs for Town facilities and uses and provided recommendations for the use of eight Town - owned parcels. Many of these needs and recommendations have been implemented. This update process included the evaluation of all Town -owned lands to identify any parcels that may be suitable for Town use. None of the Town's vacant parcels are suitable for the October 16, 2018 - Page 26 of 411 Executive Summary development of public uses or community - oriented facilities. It is possible, however, that public facility needs could be provided by the redevelopment of currently developed parcels (e.g. the east end of the Lionshead Parking Structure or the Vail Municipal Building site). Four privately -owned parcels are identified for potential acquisition by the Town for future public use or community -oriented facilities. Trails Improving the trail and bike system was listed as one of the top three priorities for open space and recreation from the '94 Plan. Many trail and trailhead improvements have been completed since 1994. Trails remain a community priority and this Plan identifies a number of potential new trail ideas. Wildlife resources in and around Vail have been significantly impacted by changes in the Gore Valley that have occurred since the early 1960's. The use of recreational trails can add to these impacts. For this reason, this update recommends that a number of steps be taken to improve wildlife resources prior to the development of any new trails. These steps include community education regarding how trail use affects wildlife, enforcement of seasonal trail closures, and enhancement of wildlife habitat. Further, it is recommended that prior to any new trail development a comprehensive, site-specific analysis of how existing trails, social trails and new trail ideas could impact environmental and wildlife resources be completed. This analysis will be used in making decisions on closing or formalizing social trails and on the development of any new 2018 Open Lands Plan Update trails. The objective of this analysis is that any new trails must balance the community's recreational needs with sensitivity to wildlife and environmental considerations by minimizing, mitigating, or eliminating potentail impacts from trails. Implementation of the Plan Steps to implement the goals of this Plan are provided in two chapters. Chapter 5 - Action Plan provides a summary of all Action Items - recommended land and easement acquisitions for the protection of environmentally sensitive lands, for the potential future development of recreation trails and for Town uses. Chapter 6 - Implementation provides a summary of follow-up studies and of other programs and tasks recommended to implement the goals of this Plan. October 16, 2018 - Page 27 of 411 Executive Summary !.**, CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION 2018 Open Lands Plan Update The Town of Vail has a long history of acquiring lands to preserve as open space and to develop park facilities. Over the years the Town has also been diligent in developing a recreational trail system and in the development of necessary public facilities. Toward that end, the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan (the '94 Plank was adopted for the stated purpose: "to identify and develop strategies for acquiring or protecting hey remaining open lands in Vail that would be valuable for recreation, protecting sensitive environmental resources, extending or connecting trails, providing adequate neighborhood open space, and creating a small amount of contingency land for unforeseen needs (e.g. employee housing, public facilities)." October 16, 2018 - Page 28 of 41 -Chapter 1 - Introduction In the spring of 2016 the Vail Town Council initiated a process to update the '94 Plan. The '94 Plan was developed over a period of two years with involvement of the Open Lands Steering Committee and after numerous community meetings. The five objectives of the '94 Plan were to: • Identify a comprehensive system of open space uses such as parks, recreation, protection of environmental resources, trails and to reserve lands for public uses, • Prioritize available open lands for acquisition or protection, • Identify creative strategies to implement the acquisition and protection program, • Define a management system to appropriately manage Town -owned open lands, and • Buffer neighborhoods with open space. Comprehensive Open Lands Plan 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. During the development of the '94 Plan the Town was involved in a number of related activities. These included inventorying all Town lands, revisiting open space zone districts, working on a Land Ownership Adjustment Plan (LOA) with the United States Forest Service, 2018 Open Lands Plan Update developing an inventory of environmentally sensitive open lands (with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program) and proposing zone changes for public and private parcels. The 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan served to integrate these efforts and to provide a framework for these and other actions related to open lands. The main elements of the '94 Plan included an Action Plan for the acquisition of land or easements and other steps to protect sensitive lands and further the goals of the Plan, a conceptual trails plan, identification of public facility needs and recommended uses for some Town lands, . NEED TO UPDATE THE 1994 OPEN LANDS PLAN The Vail Town Council directed Town staff to update the '94 Plan in the Fall of 2016. Discussion of the potential re -development of the Vail Trail was the catalyst that prompted this update. Notwithstanding why the Town Council initiated this process, an update of the '94 Plan was needed if for no other reason than twenty-four years have passed since its adoption. There has been a great deal of change in Vail and Eagle County over the past twenty-four years and much of this change is directly or indirectly related to specific recommendations of the '94 Plan: • Significant population growth in Vail and Eagle County, • Increased summer visitation, • Gore Creek is now listed as Impaired, • Ever increasing challenges with establishing workforce housing in Vail, • The development of regionally -oriented recreation facilities in down -valley communities, 2 October 16, • On-going redevelopment in Vail that has increased the density and intensity of use on many properties, • A dramatic increase in the level of use and types of use on recreational trails, and • Significant declines in wildlife populations and resources. • In 2018 Vail was recognized as the first sustainable mountain resort destination in the world and the first Certified Sustainable Destination in the United States certified by a Global Sustainable Tourism Council - Accredited body, Green Destinations. Each of these considerations reinforce the need to re -visit the '94 Plan. GOALS FOR UPDATING THE 1994 Gore Creek is now listed as Impaired. OPEN LANDS PLAN The Town Council specifically asked for an update to the '94 Plan, and not an entirely new open lands plan. As an update, it has been assumed that the basic format and topics addressed by the '94 Plan are valid today. As such, the focus of this planning process was to revisit all elements of the '94 Plan and evaluate 2018 - Page 29 of 411Chapter 1 - Introduction Existing section of the Vail Trail. how they can be refined to better respond to conditions in Vail today and into the future. In essence, the goal of this planning process was to update the Plan to provide a framework for effectively implementing actions to achieve Vail's goals for the preservation of open space, the development of trails and the use of Town lands. The process for updating the '94 Plan was designed to address the following broad objectives: • Confirm the community's overall goals and 2018 Open Lands Plan Update priorities for the Plan, • Evaluate the Action Plan and identify any new Action Items to protect environmentally sensitive lands or other action to implement the goals of the Plan, • Provide better direction for the potential development of recreation trails, • Evaluate Town -owned lands for how they can be used to meet community needs, • Define management strategies for Town -owned lands, and • Protect environmentally sensitive lands and wildlife. 3 APPROACH TO THIS UPDATE PROCESS The major steps in updating the '94 Plan included: Evaluation of the '94 Plan A critical review of the '94 Plan was completed to understand the strengths of the Plan and elements of the Plan that could be improved. Community Scoping Sessions At the outset of the project three community scoping meetings were held. Information about Vail's Comprehensive Plan, the '94 Plan and related topics were presented. Participants were encouraged to provide questions and comments at these meetings and a portal was established on the Town's web page as another means for the community to offer comments on the Plan. Technical Advisors Throughout the planning process, technical experts, agencies and potential partners who are involved in topics addressed by the Plan were engaged. Examples of these include Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Vail Resorts trails staff, Eagle County and the Eagle Valley Land Trust. Evaluation of Lands Extensive evaluations of Town -owned and privately -owned lands were completed to gain a comprehensive understanding of these lands and to identify the role they could play in implementing the goals of this Plan. October 16, 2018 - Page 30 of 411Chapter 1 - Introduction Community Meetings Two community meetings were held during the planning process. These meetings focused on various aspects of the update and allowed for community interaction and conversation about the Plan. Recreation Trails A series of small group scoping meetings specific to trails and a community -wide trails workshop were held to better understand perspectives regarding existing trails and potential improvements to the Town's trail system. Review Process Following preparation of a draft plan, the proposed update was reviewed by the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Town Council. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Community involvement played a significant role in this update process. Input was obtained during three scoping meetings, two community meetings, a series of small group meetings and a community -wide workshop dedicated to trails. Small group discussion at second community meeting. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update A portal dedicated to open lands was provided on the Town's web page and input was obtained by written questionnaires that were provided during meetings. Community input was also obtained during the formal review of the Plan by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. Input from the community during the planning process was a major influence in the development of the updated Plan. Trails are a good example of how community input influenced the planning process. During scoping and community meetings, many passionate opinions were expressed about Vail's existing trails, the need for new trails and the potential impact from trail use on wildlife. To better understand how the community felt about trails and to bring those with divergent viewpoints together for discussion, small group sessions specific to trails and a community -wide trails workshop were held. The SE Group, a design firm that specializes in trail design and planning, was engaged to facilitate these efforts. A wildlife forum was then held to discuss the state of wildlife in the Gore Valley. The effort put towards trails was considerably greater than originally anticipated and this effort was taken in direct response to input from the community. As with any community planning process, it is often difficult to draw consensus from input that is provided from the community. This is because in most cases community members will have a variety of different viewpoints and while some conclusions can be drawn from opinions provided by those who participate in a planning process, the opinions of those who do not participate are not heard. For many reasons, finding a clear consensus on community goals is a challenging task. 4 Subsequent chapters of this Plan provide a summary of comments that were heard from the community during this update process. In most cases a wide range of divergent comments were heard. These summaries are not scientific and are not intended to suggest community consensus. Rather, the summaries of community input provided in the following chapters are intended to convey general themes of what was expressed by the community ORGANIZATION OF THIS PLAN The 2018 Open Lands Plan Update includes the following chapters: 1. 2. 3. 4. October 16, 2018 Introduction This chapter provides background on the '94 Plan, the need, goals for and approach to this update. Environmentally Sensitive Lands This chapter summarizes how the '94 Plan addressed environmentally sensitive lands and community input during this update process, defines environmentally sensitive lands, outlines measures that have been taken to protect such lands and identifies additional lands that may warrant protection. Town -Owned Lands and Use of Lands A summary of how the '94 Plan addressed Town -owned lands, community input during this update process, an evaluation of all Town -owned lands and privately -owned lands (that could further the goals of this Plank are provided in this chapter.

Action Plan The '94 Plan includes an Action Plan that identified fifty-one Action Items to acquire easements or land necessary to implement the goals of the Plan. Many of these action items have been accomplished. An updated Action Plan is provided in this chapter. 6. Implementation This chapter outlines implementation steps and follow-up tasks. 7. Appendix The '94 Plan and other supplemental information are found in the appendix. The 2018 Open Lands Plan Update provides a framework for actions the Town can implement for the protection of lands, trails and the use of Town lands. The 2018 Open Lands Plan Update was adopted by Resolution No. XX, Series 20XX by the Vail Town Council after recommendation from the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. This Plan is an element of the Town's Comprehensive Plan. TERMS USED IN THIS PLAN Below are definitions for terms used throughout this Plan: Conservation Easement - A voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust (or other qualified organization) in which 2018 Open Lands Plan Update the land owner places restrictions on the use of his or her land in order to protect its conservation values. Designated Open Space - Property owned by the Town of Vail which has been dedicated by ordinance as designated open space. Easement - A legal right to use another's land for a specifically defined purpose. Environmentally Sensitive Lands - Lands that include natural features such as wetland or riparian habitat, water courses, wildlife habitat, native plant or other unique vegetation, steep slopes or other geologic hazards. Land Trust - A charitable organization that acquires land or conservation easements, or that stewards land or easements, for conservation purposes. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) -A federal environmental law in the United States that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the President's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). NEPA requires Federal Agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. Open Lands - Vacant, undeveloped land that may be owned by the Town of Vail or privately -owned. Open Space - Lands owned by the Town of Vail that have been assigned as Designated Open Space, or Town -owned land or privately -owned lands that are zoned for open space or have a conservation easement. Pump Track - A soft surface cycling trail consisting of a circuit of banked turns and features designed to be 5 ridden completely by riders creating momentum by "pumping" the bicycle. Social Trail - An unofficial or non -designated soft surface trail that has not been formally approved by the land owner or applicable review authority. Social trails are typically not constructed based on design plans, rather they develop overtime from hiking or biking activity. Task Force - A small group of people appointed to a special committee formed expressly for the purpose of studying a particular problem for a limited timeframe. October 16, 2018 - Page 32 of 411Chapter 1 - Introduction CHAPTER 2 - ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS While the '94 Plan addressed recreational trails, Town facilities and the use and management of Town lands, the identification of environmentally sensitive lands and recommendations for their acquisition and protection was the primary focus of the Plan. The '94 Plan's focus on environmentally sensitive lands is evident a number of ways. Two of the five objectives of the '94 Plan were to "prioritize available open lands for acquisition or protection" and to "identify creative strategies to implement the acquisition and protection program". The number one priority for recreation and open space is to "acquire, preserve and protect natural open space" and the top priority for land acquisitions is to "protect sensitive natural habitat areas, riparian areas and hazard areas". Thirty of the fifty-one Action Items from the '94 Action Plan involve the acquisition and protection of environmentally sensitive lands and over half of the Action Items that have been implemented have resulted in the acquisition and preservation of such lands. Since its adoption, the '94 Plan has been regarded by some as an "open space plan". While the '94 Plan is far more than just an open space plan, the emphasis of the '94 Plan is clearly on the preservation of environmentally sensitive and other open space lands. The terms "open lands" and "open space" are used throughout this Plan. When used, open lands refer to vacant, undeveloped land that may be owned by the Town or privately -owned. Open lands are generally discussed in the context of how they could be used by the Town to address the need for public 6 October 'q,F uses or facilities or how the lands could be protected as open space. Open space generally refers to lands owned by the Town that have been assigned as Designated Open Space, or Town -owned or privately -owned lands that are zoned for open space or have a conservation easement. Open space is also used to refer to lands recommended by this Plan for acquisition by the Town for protection as open space, or privately -owned lands that may be appropriate for conservation easements or other protection measures. This chapter summarizes community input on environmentally sensitive lands and provides an explanation of the type of lands that are considered environmentally sensitive. Explanation of how potentially environmentally sensitive, privately -owned lands were evaluated and recommendations for lands to be acquired by the Town are provided.Finally, techniques to be used for the protection of these lands are addressed. COMMUNITY INPUT There was very broad support among those who participated in scoping sessions and community meetings for the Town to continue efforts to acquire and protect environmentally sensitive lands. Most felt that the '94 Plan and the Town's previous efforts to acquire lands for open space (and for park and trail development) have been very beneficial. Reasons for continuing these efforts varied. For many, the need to protect our environmentally sensitive ep2ge5g\irnmentally Sensitive Lands lands and wildlife resources were the most compelling reasons for the Town to acquire lands. For others, the benefit of acquiring lands was to prevent them from being developed. Acquiring lands to create buffers between neighborhoods and to establish open space that would offset the impacts from the ongoing redevelopment of Vail was also mentioned. There was a noticeable emphasis in public input regarding the water quality of Gore Creek and the potential benefits of land acquisitions that could contribute to improving the health of this creek and its tributaries. The Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) has been the Town's primary funding source for the purchase of lands for open space or recreational purposes. There were many comments regarding RETT, ranging from a suggestion to expire the tax due to the lack of lands available for purchase, to refocusing the use of RETT funds on land purchases as opposed to maintenance and other purposes. There were a number of comments that land purchased with RETT funds should only be used for open space or park purposes. A summary of how the RETT ordinance has been amended over the years is found in the appendix. ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS In the '94 Plan, the primary reason for the Town to acquire open lands was to protect environmentally sensitive land resources. The protection of the Gore Creek corridor and its importance as a wildlife, riparian and wetland resource and recreation amenity was also 2018 Open Lands Plan Update mentioned, as were open space acquisitions that would preserve the "mountain experience and the natural character of the Vail Valley". While these reasons provided some guidance in identifying potential parcels for acquisition, they are broadly stated and do not provide specifics with regards to what is meant by environmentally sensitive lands. Considerations below define environmentally sensitive lands: Wetland / Riparian area along Gore Creek. Wetland and Riparian Areas Wetlands and riparian areas provide flood control, filtration of storm water run-off and important habitat for a myriad of wildlife and plant species. These areas are particularly important to Gore Creek for two reasons. Gore Creek has been listed as Impaired by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment due to lack of aquatic life and the lower stretch of the creek is designated Gold Medal Water by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The Town has responded to this situation a number of ways, most notably by the adoption of Restore the Gore, a Gore Creek Strategic Plan for 7 improving the health of this water course. The acquisition and protection of parcels along Gore Creek and its tributaries that could help improve water quality and benefit the aquatic health of this water course should be considered. Wildlife Corridors and Habitat The abundance and variety of wildlife that can be seen in and around Vail are resources valued by both residents and guests. Population declines of key species such as elk, mule deer and bighorn sheep over the past two decades have been attributed to habitat fragmentation and increased trail and recreational use. Acquisition of parcels which could establish habitat connectivity, potential wildlife corridors and areas known to contain seasonal habitat for species should be considered. Native Plant Habitat Lands that support sensitive or native plant species and other notable vegetation cover that contributes to the Town's scenic and natural qualities. Geologically Sensitive Lands Lands that include geologically sensitive areas such as avalanche, debris flow, rockfall, steep slope and floodplain hazards. The considerations above have been used to identify lands that if acquired and protected would further the goals of this Plan. October 'q,F X11; ep2ge54Noinlynmentally Sensitive Lands EVALUATION OF UNDEVELOPED PRIVATELY -OWNED LANDS The major focus of the '94 Plan was to identify environmentally sensitive lands and to outline strategies for the Town to acquire and protect them. A comprehensive evaluation of all undeveloped lands not owned by the Town was completed. The purpose of this evaluation was to identify specific parcels that if acquired or protected could further the goal of protecting sensitive environmental resources. This evaluation resulted in thirty parcels that were recommended for acquisition and protection. As a part of this update process, an evaluation similar to that done in 1994 was completed for all privately -owned, undeveloped lands within the Town. The purpose of this evaluation was twofold - to identify any lands that may have been overlooked by the '94 Plan and to see if changed conditions warrant the inclusion of lands that were not addressed by the '94 Plan. One hundred and six parcels were evaluated relative to the considerations described above. The Privately -Owned Lands/Parcels for Acquisition and/or Protection Plan on the following page depicts all undeveloped, privately owned parcels within the Town of Vail and the fifteen parcels recommended for acquisition or protection (note that privately owned also includes land owned by agencies such as the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the Colorado Department of Transportation). 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Properties identified on the Privately -Owned Lands/ Parcels for Acquisition and/or Protection Plan include parcels that: • Are located adjacent to Gore Creek or one of its tributaries, • Benefit wildlife habitat by providing movement corridors or other benefits, • Are inaccessible due to terrain or ownership or where access would have negative impact on the land, • Include steep slopes or other environmental hazards. Not all parcels that met the parameters above are recommended for acquisition or protection. For example, a two -acre parcel in East Vail was originally recommended for acquisition or protection. After discussion with landowners (Bighorn Mutual Sanitation and Recreation District of their intentions to maintain the parcel as open space, it was determined by Council to not recommended this parcel for acquisition or protection. Acquisition of parcels would involve the Town approaching the land owner to gauge their interest in selling their land to the Town. Subject to agreeing on terms, the Town would acquire the land and then take steps to ensure it is protected from development. In lieu of outright acquisition, the protection of lands could also be achieved by the Town working with land owners to protect the land from development. This could be accomplished by placing a conservation easement on the land that would restrict or limit its development. In certain cases, the conservation easement could involve compensation to the land owner for development rights that would be relinquished by 8 October 1q, the conservation easement. Another alternative could be to work with land owners to rezone property to limit its development potential or to define no -build areas that would prevent Rockfall and steep slope hazards in the Lionsridge neighborhood. development of environmentally sensitive portions of a parcel. Each of the fifteen parcels identified for acquisition or protection are more specifically discussed in Chapter 5 - Action Plan. Information provided in Chapter 5 includes the parcel size, zoning and ownership, the benefits for acquisition and protection of the land, and recommendations for acquisition of the land or other protection strategies. PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS The '94 Plan addressed the importance of the Town protecting environmentally sensitive lands from future development or changes of use.

Conservation Easements Conservation easements permanently protect the conservation values of land by limiting the use or development of the land. Establishing a conservation easement is the decision of the land owner and involves working in partnership with an independent land trust, such as the Eagle Valley Land Trust, which would hold the easement. The easement is legally enforceable and is recorded with the property deed. Subject to the goals of the land owner and negotiations with the land trust, an easement may allow for limited uses (such as trails or utilities) that do not compromise the conservation values of the land and may also specify management practices for the land. Once an easement is in place the land owner retains ownership of the land while the land trust is responsible for monitoring the land to ensure its use is consistent with the terms of the easement. Conservation easements 2018 Open Lands Plan Update are considered to be unchangeable and establish permanent protection of the land's conservation values. The role conservation easements can play in the Town's goals for protection of environmentally sensitive lands is discussed in Chapter 6 Implementation. Referendum/Voter Approval A common approach for communities to protect publicly -owned lands from future development or changes of use is to zone the property so that development potential is very limited and then require a vote of the public to change such zoning. Voter approval to change zoning eliminates concerns with future councils changing the decisions of previous councils. This approach is considered to be an effective means for protecting lands but is less permanent than a conservation easement. While a handful of conservation easements are in place on Town -owned lands, the Town Council amended the Town Charter in 1995 to establish Designated Open Space. Designated Open Space is an overlay designation that can be applied by the Town Council to any Town -owned parcel that satisfies certain criteria. The open space designation cannot be changed, nor can a parcel that has been dedicated Designated Open Space be sold, without a three-fourths vote of the Town Council and then a vote of the public. Specific procedures for Designated Open Space as prescribed by the Town Charter are found in the appendix of this Plan. Community Input on the Protection of Lands The protection of Town -owned lands was discussed throughout this update process. This discussion focused on the need for lands to be protected I10 I October 'q,F and more specifically the methods used for protection. Two common themes, or questions, were heard: Are there additional environmentally sensitive lands owned by the Town that warrant being dedicated Designated Open Space? While the process to change a parcel that has been dedicated Designated Open Space may be challenging, are there lands owned by the Town that warrant further protection via a conservation easement? In response to these questions, an evaluation of Town -owned lands that could qualify to be Designated Open Space and Town -owned lands that could be considered for conservation easement protection was completed. DESIGNATED OPEN SPACE LANDS Since 1995, the Town has applied the Designated Open Space overlay to fifty-seven Town -owned parcels that comprise 533 acres. The process for applying this designation involves a recommendation from the Open Space Board of Trustees (comprised of the Town manager, one member from the Town Council and one member from the Planning and Environmental Commission) that is presented to the Town Council. The Open Space Board of Trustees recommendation must be unanimous. A three-fourths vote of the entire Town Council is then required to apply the open space designation on a parcel of land. To be considered for dedication as Designation Open Space, a parcel must be owned by the X11; ep2ge57\6r nmentally Sensitive Lands Town of Vail and zoned either Natural Area Preservation, Outdoor Recreation or Agricultural Open Space. In addition, the parcel must be either: 1. Environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands, riparian areas, critical habitat identified by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, or the Natural Heritage Program); 2. High natural hazard areas including the 100 year flood plain, red avalanche hazard area, high rock fall hazard area, and high debris flow hazard area; or 3. Town of Vail parks that provide passive outdoor recreation opportunities. A map depicting the Town's Open Space Zoned Lands, Designated Open Space, and Conservation Easements is found on the following page. This Plan depicts: • Town -owned parcels that are Designated Open Space, • Town -owned parcels that are zoned Natural Area Preservation, Outdoor Recreation or Agricultural Open Space but do not meet one of the three criteria listed above, • Town -owned parcels that are zoned Natural Area Preservation, Outdoor Recreation or Agricultural Open Space that do meet one of the other three criteria, and • Town -owned lands with a conservation easement A total of twenty-six Town -owned parcels are appropriately zoned and satisfy one or more of the criteria pertaining to environmental sensitivity, natural hazards or passive recreation, 2018 Open Lands Plan Update but are not Designated Open Space. Each of these parcels could potentially be Designated Open Space. While Designated Open Space parcels can be changed, once a parcel is dedicated as Designated Open Space it is arguably locked up as park or open space land, due to the steps necessary to change such designation. As such, dedicating a parcel Designated Open Space should only be done after thorough consideration of all relevant factors. The Town must be certain of their commitment and understand that any future or unforeseen land needs that may arise could only be developed on designated parcels if such uses conformed to the limited range of uses permitted by these three open space zone districts. In depth study of these twenty-six parcels is necessary in order to determine which, if any warrant being dedicated as Designated Open Space. Factors to be studied include site characteristics, zoning and potential opportunities for future Town use. This effort should be initiated by Town Staff and supported by a citizen's task force to ensure there is broad community involvement in this process. As a part of the staff and task force efforts described above, all Town -owned lands should be evaluated to identify any parcels that are currently not zoned Natural Area Preservation, Outdoor Recreation or Agricultural Open Space, but may otherwise be appropriate for Designated Open Space. In such cases, consideration could be given to re -zoning such lands to one of the three open space districts so that they would be eligible to be Designated Open Space. The Designated Open Space process as outlined in the Town Charter should also be evaluated to determine if changes could be made to Ammoll1110.1111 October 16, 20,1\EPDP4igocEt&ofalalstment has been established on the Town's waterfall parcel in East Vail.

Such decisions would ultimately be made by the Town Council after recommendation from the staff and task force. Refer to Chapter 6 - Implementation for more information. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS The Town's Designated Open Space process provides very strong assurances that designated lands will be protected by limiting uses and preventing the sale of such lands. It is very difficult to change Designated Open Space once it has been established. That said, community input has suggested the use of conservation easements to provide stronger protection of the Town's open spaces. Conservation easements are held in perpetuity by a land trust which in essence means the land is protected forever. Conservation easements are widely considered the most effective means of protecting lands from development or changes in use that could otherwise affect the conservation values of the land. The benefit of applying a conservation easement to Town -owned land is that the land would be protected in perpetuity, and in doing so would provide lasting protection of environmentally sensitive lands or lands with other characteristics that are valued by the community for preservation. The potential detriment of applying a conservation easement to Town -owned land is that the Town would be committing to limitations on the use of such lands and giving up the control of the land to the land trust. A conservation easement would 2018 Open Lands Plan Update limit land uses and in doing so limit the Town's flexibility in using land to meet future, unforeseen land needs. In response to community sentiment and the value held by many for the importance of the Town to protect key open space parcels in perpetuity, the task force efforts described above should also include the evaluation of Town -owned lands that may warrant protection by a conservation easement. Establishing an additional layer of protection afforded by a conservation easement may be beneficial on lands that could otherwise have some level of development potential or where unique site characteristics may warrant additional protection. The key questions when considering the implementation of a conservation easement is whether the value of the land as open space is such that it should always and forever be protected and maintained as open space and whether the Town is prepared to relenquish control of the land to a third party. By placing a conservation easement on Town -owned land, the Town would be making a statement about its commitment to the environment and leaving a legacy of conservation for future generations. The Town Council has the authority to establish easements on Town -owned lands and this authority includes conservation easements. If the Town Council initiates a staff/task force effort to study conservation easements, it is anticipated that this will involve a comprehensive evalution of the pros and cons of conservation easements, identification of parcels that may be appropriate for protection by a conservation easement and recommendations on a formal process for establishing such easements. 13 Town Parcels to Consider for Conservation Easement The four areas of Town described below are dedicated as Designated Open Space and each provides open space that is highly valued by the community for the scenic qualities, neighborhood buffers or sensitive lands they contain. These parcels are suggested for further evaluation to understand the potential benefits of protecting these lands with a conservation easement. This evaluation should also consider other Town -owned parcels that may warrant protection by a conservation easement. October 'q,F Gore Creek Corridor The Town owns the majority of the Gore Creek corridor between Ford Park and Donovan Park. These parcels total approximately 37 acres and approximately half of these parcels are Designated Open Space. These parcels include Gore Creek and associated floodplain, wetlands and riparian areas. With the exception of trails or passive recreation improvements such as benches, these parcels are not buildable. Establishing a conservation easement on these lands would be a strong statement as to the ep2ge4CvairkKimentally Sensitive Lands importance of Gore Creeks aquatic health. Any conservation easement would need to acknowledge the limited existing (and future) improvements such as trails, bridges, utilities and drainage improvements, etc. Katsos Ranch The 144 acre Katsos Ranch is arguably Vail's most renowned open space parcel. The land includes wetlands, Gore Creek and associated floodplain and riparian habitat, high and moderate severity debris flow, high severity rock fall and avalanche hazards. The site provides an important buffer between East Vail and the Aspen Lane neighborhood and coupled with its scenic qualities and environmentally sensitive features, this parcel warrants consideration for a conservation easement. If a conservation easement is pursued, reserved rights for trails and the Memorial Garden should be retained. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Booth Falls Parcels Two parcels located around the Booth Falls neighborhood are both zoned Natural Area Preservation. The easterly parcel is 30.2 acres and is impacted by steep slopes and high severity rockfall hazard. The westerly parcel is 93 acres and is impacted by debris flow hazards. Both parcels are considered critical bighorn sheep range/habitat. The bighorn sheep habitat on these parcels make them unique and this warrants consideration of a conservation easement. If a conservation easement is pursued, reserved rights for trails and maintenance of rockfall mitigation should be established. 14 October 'I�,F Upper Bench of Donovan Park The +/-35 acre Upper Bench parcel is zoned Outdoor Recreation and was purchased with RETT funds. The parcel is impacted by high hazard debris flow and steep slopes. The parcel provides an open space buffer within the Matterhorn neighborhood. The property has good access and subject to mitigation of hazards, could have development potential and for this reason this parcel warrants consideration of a conservation easement. If a conservation easement is pursued, reserved rights for trails, passive recreation use and temporary uses such as staging areas for timber removal. ep2ge Etwpoir mentally Sensitive Lands CHAPTER 3 - TOWN -OWNED LANDS One of the five objectives of the '94 Plan was to: "Identify a comprehensive system of open space uses such as parks, recreation, protection of environmental resources, trails and to reserve lands for public use" One of the stated purposes of the '94 Plan was to "create a small amount of contingency land for unforeseen needs (e.g. workforce housing, public facilities)" and an objective of the Plan was to "identify, to the extent possible, future public needs (or needs not currently being met) that will require land". The Action Plan included recommendations for the use or acquisition of "parcels intended for other community needs such as an additional fire station". The '94 Plan identified five Town of Vail issues and needs for community -oriented projects that would require land: 1. Expansion of the Public Works facility 2. New West Vail Fire Station 3. Vail Police Department firing range 4. Expanded play areas at Red Sandstone Elementary School 5. Workforce housing projects at Vail Commons and the Mountain Bell site With the exception of the Police Department firing range, each of the projects listed above have been implemented. The Public Works expansion and the Chamonix housing project are located on land that was identified for acquisition by the '94 Action Plan. 15 AND USE OF LANDS The '94 Plan also provided recommendations for the use of eight Town -owned parcels. Three of these recommendations involved the development of workforce housing on the Vail Commons parcel, on four lots located on Garmish Drive and on the Mountain Bell site. Each of these recommendations has been implemented. While the Berry Creek parcel located in Edwards was ultimately sold to Eagle County, the Plan's recommendations for recreational and housing development on this parcel have been implemented by others. The purpose of this chapter is to understand the Town's land resources and how they can address the Town's future land needs. Below is a summary of community input on the use of Town -owned lands and the need for new or expanded community facilities. An evaluation of whether Town -owned lands can accommodate future community -oriented uses, input from Town staff on the need for new or expanded community facilities and an evaluation of all vacant, privately -owned land that could potentially address future public needs is also provided. COMMUNITY INPUT ON THE USE OF TOWN LANDS A variety of opinions were expressed by the community regarding Town facilities, the need for expanded or new facilities, the use of Town -owned lands and if or under what circumstances the Town should acquire land for c wlierAtgoNigeQw( Etch Lands and Use of Lands public facilities and community -oriented uses. As a relatively mature community, Vail operates a wide variety of public facilities and there was a general level of satisfaction with facilities provided by the Town and how they are managed. By way of example, during the preparation of the '94 Plan there was considerable community support for the development of additional neighborhood parks and the '94 Plan identified a number of park improvements. Likely due to the development of Donovan Park, Sunbird Park, Booth Creek Park, Ellefson Park and major improvements to other Town parks since 1994, there were no comments or requests to expand the Town's park facilities during this update process. The circumstances under which the Town should pursue the acquisition of land for public facilities or community -oriented uses prompted many diverse opinions. There were a preponderance of opinions that land acquisitions should first and foremost be to acquire land for open space to protect environmentally sensitive lands and that any parcel acquired for community uses should only occur if that parcel does not have environmental values that should be protected. There were also divergent opinions on what constitutes a public facility or a community - oriented use. Many felt that workforce housing is neither a public facility nor a community - oriented use. By the same token, many others felt that workforce housing is a valid community - oriented use, that projects like the Chamonix development are beneficial and that it is 2018 Open Lands Plan Update appropriate for this Plan to identify lands that may be suitable for housing development. Of those in support of Town -initiated housing projects, there was a preference that they be on land that is zoned for development, is located within an established neighborhood and is proximate to public transit. A Policy Statement from the Vail Housing 2017 Plan establishes the Town's position that workforce housing is critical to maintaining Vail's sense of community. "We acknowledge that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government." Policy Statement on Residential Housing as Infrastructure - Vail Housing 2.02.7 While a wide spectrum of comments were heard, written comments provided by the community were near evenly split as to whether the Open Lands Plan should address housing with 38% of comments in support and 41% opposed. OVERVIEW OF TOWN -OWNED LANDS There are approximately 2,904 acres of land located within the Town's boundary and the Town of Vail owns 161 parcels that total 1,040 acres, or 35.8% of all land within the Town. Rights-of-way for Interstate 70 and the Frontage Roads comprise approximately 495 acres and approximately 1,262 acres of land are privately -owned or owned by other governmental entities. With the exception of the Highland 16 Meadows subdivision, all lands immediately surrounding the Town's boundary are owned by the United States Forest Service. A plan depicting Town -owned lands is found on the following page. The Town of Vail has three open space -oriented zone districts - the Agricultural and Open Space District, the Outdoor Recreation District and the Natural Area Preservation District. While the purpose of the Agricultural and Open Space District and Outdoor Recreation District is to preserve open space lands, these districts allow for a limited range of land uses. The Natural Area Preservation District is intended to protect sensitive lands from development and land uses in this district are very limited. 758 acres, or 72.8% of all Town -owned lands are zoned one of these three open space districts. The 57 Town -owned parcels that are Designated Open Space total 533 acres.

LANDS 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 17 apileraoijol jeCAflacl1 Lands and Use of Lands LAND NEEDS FOR PUBLIC USES AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES While there were suggestions from the community for expanding the supply of public parking, the development of more workforce housing, the development of conference performing art and recreation centers and a disc golf course, there was no single use that generated a significant number of requests from the community. Town department directors were consulted for their input on the need for new or additional facilities. The Fire Department is interested in a one -acre site for a training facility. The Human Resources Department supported workforce housing to assist in recruitment and retention of employees. The Public Works Department would like to expand the existing snow dump, establish a solar farm and increase public parking, and the Economic Development Department supports the development of conference facilities, a theater and other event areas. The feasibility of conference, performing art and recreation centers has been discussed and studied over the past few decades. Original plans for Ford Park included an aquatics/ recreation center and on more than one occasion a convention center has been proposed, most recently at the east end of the Lionshead Parking Structure. For various reasons none of these facilities have been constructed. The development of additional public parking has been a priority of the Town for many years. A lack of available land and 2018 Open Lands Plan Update the cost to construct parking are the two primary challenges to developing additional parking. EVALUATION OF TOWN -OWNED LANDS All 161 Town -owned parcels were evaluated to determine if any of these parcels can accommodate the Town's future needs for public or community - oriented facilities. A fundamental assumption in this evaluation was that existing uses will be maintained and no existing uses would be displaced in order to accommodate other uses. The initial step in this evaluation considered the existing use and site characteristics of all Town - owned lands. Lands that are currently used for other purposes and lands with site characteristics that would preclude their development were eliminated from consideration. Lands were categorized one of four ways - developed lands such as the Vail Municipal Building, park and recreational lands such as Ford Park and the Vail Golf Club, environmentally constrained lands, and Designated Open Space parcels and conservation easement lands. After eliminating parcels from the four categories listed above, only eight Town -owned parcels remained. These eight parcels were evaluated based on size, terrain and site characteristics, site context and relationship with surrounding lands, access and covenants restrictions. These eight parcels include: Parcel #1 - Commonly referred to as the Middle Bench of Donovan Park, this 2.1 acre parcel is zoned Agricultural and Open Space and is located on Matterhorn Circle in the Matterhorn neighborhood. Based on site characteristics such as terrain and 18 access, this parcel is considered buildable. However, this parcel was purchased with RETT funds and as such land uses are currently limited to parks, recreation, open space and similar purposes. The Town Council has by resolution designated this parcel as a "park". Parcel #2 - This 3.1 acre parcel located in the Glen Lyon neighborhood is zoned Special Development District. While the parcel is buildable based on site characteristics, use of the parcel is restricted by protective covenants. Parcel #3 - This 1 acre parcel is located at the north portal of the I-70 pedestrian bridge. Use of the parcel is restricted by protective covenants Parcel #4 - This .3 acre parcel is zoned Lionshead Mixed Use 1 and currently provides a pedestrian connection between Lionshead Place and the Gore Creek bike path. Use of the parcel is also restricted by protective covenants. Parcel #5 - This .3 acre parcel located along East Lionshead Circle is zoned General Use. The size of this parcel limits its development potential. Parcel #6 - This .5 acre parcel located on Beaver Dam Road is zoned Natural Area Preservation. The presence of wetlands would render this site to be unbuildable. Parcel #7 - This 13 acre parcel is located along Bald Mountain Road. It is zoned Outdoor Recreation and the use of the parcel is restricted by protective covenants. crgtlawlierAiJoiNgeQsvoecii Lands and Use of Lands )iii #5 0 I r% _o ...'rte' ►`•� 6 a�ar)41* 1 1111111!itdi �l:...��f►;,:, ,c,.p` �: l'• w.�..: Main Vail Interchange) #7 Booth Falls East Vail Interchange #8 Intermountain v.* .11 r Ford Park EVALUATION OF TOWN— OWNED LANDS 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Legend - Town -Owned - Town -Owned Potential Use Parcels (8) NORTH 19 October 16, 2018 - Page 46 of 411 Chapter 3 - Town Owned Lands and Use of Lands Parcel #8 - This .3 acre parcel is located between the I-70 corridor and Booth Creek Road. The size of this parcel limits its development potential. Due to parcel size, access constraints, and restrictions due to covenants or land being purchased with RETT funds, none of these eight parcels are currently viable for the development of public uses or community -oriented facilities. While the Town does not currently own vacant land capable of accommodating new uses, some Town -owned parcels that are currently developed may be capable of accommodating new or expanded uses. An example of this is the shared parking structure with Eagle County Schools, planned for Red Sandstone Elementary. Other examples could include the Public Works Facility, the Vail Municipal Building and the east end of the Lionshead Parking Structure. The Town owns additional lands adjacent to the Public Works facility that could accommodate expansion of the existing snow dump. The east end of the Lionshead Parking Structure has been studied multiple times for the potential development of a conference facility. Development at the East end of Lionshead Parking Structure has been studied in the past. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update In 2005 voters rejected a second tax increase to fund a Conference Center. The redevelopment of the Municipal Building has been studied for concepts that included additional community uses. Each of these possibilities would require additional study to fully understand the feasibility of accommodating other uses. EVALUATION OF PRIVATELY -OWNED LANDS The '94 Plan recommended a number of vacant, privately owned parcels to be acquired for the future development of public facilities and community - oriented uses. Examples of these are land acquired from Vail Resorts for expansion of the Public Works facility and land in West Vail that now includes the Chamonix housing project. Currently there are approximately 106 privately owned, undeveloped parcels in the Town of Vail. Each of these parcels was evaluated to understand if any could potentially accommodate public facilities and community -oriented uses. Evaluation of these lands considered parcel size, existing zoning, site characteristics, the context of the site, covenant restrictions and its relationship to surrounding uses. The majority of these 106 parcels were deemed to not be viable for Town use for these reasons: • Over half of the 106 parcels evaluated were Isolated, low density zoned parcels in established neighborhoods. These were considered to most appropriately be developed in accordance with existing zoning, • Environmentally sensitive parcels were not considered viable development sites (these parcels are addressed in Chapter 2 - Environmentally 20 Sensitive Lands), • Parcel size, site context and covenant restrictions limited the viability of many sites. Remaining parcels were then considered relative to their ability to potentially accommodate the broad list of public facilities and community -oriented uses suggested by the community and Town staff. Due to parcel locations, site context and the land area requirements, none of the remaining parcels are feasible for the development of parking, conference, performing arts or recreation. There are four sites that could potentially accommodate workforce housing, one of which could accomodate expansion to a town park. West Vail Parcels along Chamonix Lane If assembled, these three contiguous parcels could accommodate a small housing development. These parcels are zoned Two - Family Primary/Secondary Residential and located next to multi -family and commercial development. While the parcels total 1.59 crgbapterAieTopwgeQyvoecli Lands and Use of Lands acres, development potential will be limited as over half the land area exceeds 40% slope. Refer to Action Item #4 in Chapter 5. Old Roost Lodge This 1.9 acre site previously accommodated the Roost Lodge. The site is now vacant and development approvals have been granted for a hotel/workforce housing development. If the approved development does not proceed, the site could be viable for the development of an workforce housing project or other community use. Refer to Action Item #7 in Chapter 5. CDOT/Bighorn Parcel This 1.8 acre site is owned by CDOT. The primary purpose of this acquisition is to protect the Bighorn Creek corridor. Limited residential development may also be feasible. Development on both sides of Bighorn Creek 2018 Open Lands Plan Update may be feasible but in all cases ample setbacks from the creek should be maintained and impacts to mature spruce trees west of the creek should be minimized. Refer to Action Item #23 in Chapter 5. Talisa Tennis Courts Tennis courts for the Talisa Hotel are located on this 3 acre site. The site is located immediately adjacent to Donovan Park. If in the future the hotel is interested disposal of this land, the Town could consider acquisition for a low to medium density workforce housing. The design of a housing project must be sensitive to the Gore Valley Trail and the Gore Creek corridor. Refer to Action Item #9 in Chapter 5. MANAGEMENT OF MAIL'S OPEN LANDS The '94 Plan included two approaches for the management of open lands. The first was to establish a cooperative management system with both the USFS and Vail Resorts. The second was to develop a management system to provide appropriate stewardship and maintenance for the Town's open lands. These concepts remain valid today. Community input during this update process echoed these concepts. Suggestions involved managing lands to promote biodiversity, attending to routine maintenance such as weed control and managing erosion or other issues and maintaining trails to 21 ensure they remain sustainable. Below are management actions for open lands to be addressed by the Town. A number of these steps involve follow-up actions or the preparation of plans that will be completed after the adoption of this Plan. Some of these tasks are further discussed in Chapter 6 - Implementation. Periodic Maintenance of Open Lands All open lands will need periodic inspection and routine maintenance. Maintenance actions may include, but not be limited to, vegetation management and weed control, cleaning of litter or debris, resolving any erosion or drainage issues and repair or replace any improvements such as signs or seating. Town staff should establish seasonal inspections of all open lands to identify any maintenance needs. Appropriate staff and budget should be established to implement this management program. Wildfire and Safety Considerations The Vail Fire & Emergency Services is involved in ongoing efforts to manage vegetation to minimize the potential threat of wildfire in and around Vail. Wildfires do not recognize Town or property boundaries and the Department's mitigation efforts are not limited to Town - owned lands. That said, any decisions regarding management of the Town's open lands should be coordinated with the Department's wildfire mitigation efforts. Any new recreation trails, whether located on Town land or on USFS lands, should also involve coordination with Vail Fire and Emergency Services. Considerations to be crgtlawlierAiJoiNgeQgvoecii Lands and Use of Lands addressed include emergency provider access to trails and mitigation of hazards that may be presented by standing -dead lodgepole located proximate to any new trails. Managing Lands for Biodiversity At its most basic level, biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal species found in a particular habitat. All plant and animal life is interconnected and ultimately dependent on one another. A habitat with healthy, diverse and vibrant biodiversity is essential to how an ecosystem functions with respect to cycling of nutrients and water, soil formation and retention, resistance to invasive species and the pollination of plants. Healthy biodiversity will benefit plant and animal life. The protection and preservation of the natural environment and wildlife resources of Vail's open space lands is a high priority of the community. The Town's open space lands could benefit from management programs designed to improve biodiversity. "Biodiversity as a whole forms a shield protecting each of the species that together compose it, ourselves included." — E.O. Wilson During the preparation of the '94 Plan the Town engaged the Colorado Nature Heritage Program to complete a Natural Heritage Inventory of the Town of Vail. The goal of this study was to identify "the localities of rare, threatened, or endangered species and the locations of significant natural 2018 Open Lands Plan Update communities." This effort evaluated thirteen parcels in and around Vail and the findings of this inventory provided a basis for some the recommended Action Items in the '94 Plan. While the '94 Plan provided valuable information on the natural resources found on open lands in and around Vail, a current evaluation or inventory of existing conditions and the relative health of these resources should be completed as a first step to preparing a management plan for Town open spaces. Understanding the natural landscape and vegetation, habitat sub -types, hydrologic systems, wildlife resources and other characteristics found on these lands is critical to establishing a "baseline" of existing conditions. This effort should be completed by an ecological -oriented consulting firm and the scope of this effort may include land beyond Town Boundaries and include lands not owned by the Town. Chapter 4 - Trails addresses how a comprehensive evaluation of potential wildlife and environmental impacts from new recreation trails as a requisite to any new trail development. The inventory described above should be coordinated with the evaluation of new trail development. Establishing a baseline of existing conditions will be useful for two reasons. Understanding existing conditions may identify the need to implement programs to enhance these natural resources. The baseline will also provide a valuable point of reference for the ongoing monitoring of these lands. The identification of potential habitat enhancements and a defined, systematic program for the monitoring of town open spaces should be elements of this effort. 22 The Vail community values the protection and preservation of environmental resources on the Town's open space lands. The community also values the recreational uses that occur on these lands. How open space lands are managed and the level of human activity they experience will directly affect biodiversity. Decisions on how these lands are managed and used should be made to balance these two community priorities. Recommendations for the management and use of open space lands should also be an element of this effort. cCgtlawlierAieTopwgeQ9voecli Lands and Use of Lands CHAPTER 4 -TRAILS G, r Improving the trail and bike path system in and around Vail was listed as one of the top three priorities of the '94 Plan for open space and recreation needs and four of the five top "priorities for action" involved improvements to the Town's recreational trails and paths. These four improvements from the '94 Plan included: • Extend the Vail Trail to East Vail and add several trailheads to access the trail, • Add a new trail on the north side and western half of Town to connect existing trailheads and neighborhoods, • Add three trailheads in the core area to access Vail Mountain trails and inform visitors of trail opportunities and provide better access to Gore Creek, • Add bike lanes to the north and south frontage roads (the entire length of Town) and add paved shoulders to Vail Valley Drive. Of these five priority improvements, the North Trail has been constructed and bike lanes along the North and South Frontage Roads have been completed. The '94 Plan included a total of twenty-four other trail system improvements. Many of these improvements have been addressed, most notable among them are wayfinding and trailhead signage and new or improved trailheads at the Buffehr Creek, Davos, Middle Creek and Booth Falls trails. The '94 Plan included a Trails Plan that identified specific improvements to Vail's trail system and a Concept Plan. The Concept Plan was diagrammatic in nature and included the idea of a soft surface trail system that looped the perimeter of Town to provide connections between all of Vail's neighborhoods. This concept was compared to trail systems in the Alps where interconnected trails allow hikers to access surrounding villages. The Trails Plan and Concept Plan from the '94 Plan are found on the following pages. Trails were a significant element of the '94 Plan. In some cases, however, the '94 Plan lacked detail on future trail development with respect to the purpose for new trails, design standards or user groups to be served by the trails. One of the objectives of this update is to provide more clarity with respect to Vail's vision for recreation trails. This chapter includes a summary of community input and a broad vision statement for Vail's trail system. Existing trails, including unofficial or social trails were inventoried, trail use on key trails was measured and an overall assessment of Vail's existing trail system has been completed. A conceptual trails plan provides ideas for new trails that could be developed in the future and a process for evaluating and making decision on new trail development is also provided. 23 October 16, 2018 - Page 50 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan vos Trail e. ��r wool w Natidnal Forest System •• 1 • Booth Creek Trail North Trail; National Forest System O 6 • 441 .• 6�•gir6'� • ^ Vail Trail !,611,64,6,M60 L�.

Input was obtained during scoping sessions, community meetings, small group trail meetings and a Town -wide trails workshop. Scoping Sessions and Community Meetings Wide spread support and appreciation for Vail's trail system and for surrounding regional trails was expressed by the community. When asked "do you see trails providing a benefit to the community" during the Scoping Sessions, the overwhelming majority of respondents answered "yes". Trails are viewed as an important resource for living a healthy and active lifestyle, for providing alternative modes of transportation and for contributing to Vail's tourism -based economy. The need for trail maintenance, improved signage, expanded parking at trailheads and trail management to address user conflicts were also cited. A summary of community input on trails is found in the appendix. The community was divided on the need for expansion of the existing trail system. While many thought Vail's system of trails was sufficient and the expansion of trails was not necessary, many others saw potential benefits from the development of new trails. In written community feedback obtained during the Scoping Sessions, when asked "what steps could be taken to improve the Town's existing trail system" a majority of those who responded were in support of more trails. When asked about the Concept Plan idea of a trail system linking Vail neighborhoods from the '94 Plan, a clear majority of those who responded thought this was a good idea. Notwithstanding the input above, there was a clear consensus that if any new trails are developed, that they be designed and constructed in a sensitive and sustainable manner and that any new trails not result in adverse impacts on the natural environment or wildlife resources. Impacts on wildlife that may result from the use of trails was clearly a community concern and in response a Wildlife Forum was held during the preparation of this Plan. The forum included four wildlife biologists and discussion focused on the state of wildlife resources in the Gore Creek Valley and how human activity affects wildlife. Information from the wildlife forum and the importance of wildlife considerations being an intregal part of any discussion on future recreation trail development is further addressed in this chapter. Community input on trails was diverse and whether expressed by trail proponents or those not interested in new trail development, opinions about trails were conveyed with great passion. Community input from these meetings highlighted the complexity and challenges associated with defining community goals for trails. In response, the SE Group, a consulting firm with expertise in trail design and planning was engaged to facilitate additional community involvement, to evaluate Vail's existing trail system, to identify social trails, to define a broad vision for Vail's trails and develop a conceptual trails plan. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 26 Comments below were made during the community input process and are representative of the wide range of perspectives on trails: "Vail can't be all things to all people" "Vail should be a mountain biking mecca" "Build a loop trail around the valley for world-class connectivity" "Make the Vail Trail hiking -only" "We have an amazing place - let's work with our existing trails with better signage and maintenance" "Natural trails as Vail's signature" "Vail may not be a trails destination but we need a trails update to meet existing demand" "Vail should be a place where kids can ride a bike safely" SMALL GROUP MEETINGS ON TRAILS Five small group meetings were held to discuss the Town's recreational trail system. The purpose of these meetings was to bring divergent opinions together in small group settings to explore in greater detail issues and opportunities with trails. The goal of these meetings was to find common ground for how the Town's trail system can be improved. Approximately 25 people participated in these October 16, 2018 - Page 53 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails meetings. Below are five themes with respect to trails were drawn from these discussions along with notable comments from these meetings: Safety • Work to minimize user conflict through signage and education • Safety concerns for all users in certain areas of Town especially in the roundabout • Complete paved trails segments where possible to provide more of roadway opportunities (for example, Vail Mountain School to the East Vail Interchange) • Prepare for the increasing prevalence of electric assisted bikes or e -bike riders • Improve wayfinding Sustainability • Limited trail expansion and coordinate with neighboring communities instead of duplicating all trail types. "We can't be all things, to all people" • Wildlife concerns - ensure protection of important habitats and wildlife populations • Make improvements to existing trails to make them more sustainable to reduce maintenance costs and preserve the environment • Repair, improve, adopt and better utilize existing trails and connections before building new trails • Consider maintenance options such as volunteer groups, youth corps and trail maintenance crews • Vail's trails should continue to provide a nature experience for locals and guests Accessibility • It is difficult to follow the Gore Valley Trail especially through East Vail (need better signage or icon to follow) 2018 Open Lands Plan Update • A soft surface trail parallel to Gore Valley Trail could function as a commuting route for locals and a beginner trail for guests. (some oppose parallel trails) • Overcrowding on existing soft surface trails (especially Booth Falls trail) is an existing concern - can these users be dispersed to other trails? • Improve public access to trail information and push it to hotels and businesses - maps, online information, etc. which could help disperse hikers and bikers • The adoption of social trails could alleviate congestion on existing trails • Bus service and connector paths to trailheads could make trails accessible without a vehicle Diversity • Reduce user conflict by providing a variety of trail types • Protect the existing Vail Trail as a small footprint, meandering, hiking trail and provide other similar trail types where possible • Provide beginner to intermediate mountain biking trails • Provide easier walking trails for children, elderly, and inexperienced hikers • Vail's topography is challenging for trail diversity • Currently other jurisdictions provide a wider range of trail opportunities (particularly for mountain biking) • Consider other trail activities when developing trails such as fat bikes, e -bikes, snowshoes, etc • A pump track and beginner loop in Town could provide mountain biking experience for children Connectivity • • • Improve connectivity of both hard and soft surface trails Additional connector trails to Forest Service trails may help mitigate trailhead parking problems Additional short connector trails between 27 neighborhoods (making it easier for kids to ride to school or a friend's house) • Convenient neighborhood access points for hiking, biking, and local trips • Improve connectivity to Vail Resorts' trails • Build a trail connecting Vail to nearby Towns (i.e. Minturn and Avon) TRAILS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP A trails specific workshop was held to continue the community's conversation about trails. The workshop was an open house format and was attended by approximately 40 people. Information presented included an overview of the planning and approval process for trails, the five trail themes that came out of the small group meetings, an inventory of user -created social trails, trail usage on both social and sanctioned trails, and design considerations for trails. A Conceptual Trails Plan identifying possible ideas for new trail segments was also presented and additional trail ideas were identified by community members during the workshop. Interaction during the trails specific community workshop. October 16, 2018 - Page 54 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails A VISION FOR VAIL'S TRAILS Based on input from the community throughout this update process, the vision for Vail's system of trails and pathways is: A system of paved and soft -surface trails that is safe for all users. Through best practices in design, signage and education, trail users with diverse needs and ability levels can safely recreate on trails in the Vail area. Educational and informational programs with an emphasis on safety, awareness and respect for others are provided to trail users. Trails are maintained to meet the highest standards for sustainability. Managing existing trails to maintain high standards takes priority over expanding the trail network. All trails are designed and constructed to respect and protect sensitive wildlife habitat and terrain while providing opportunities for both residents and visitors to connect with and experience nature. A variety of soft and hard -surface trails of varying difficulty levels are available to provide accessibility to all user groups. Connectivity is key. Trails provide safe, non -vehicular connections between neighborhoods and important destinations in Town. Proper signage will make trails easy to find and follow. Trails in the Vail area are planned in concert with trails in the surrounding area. Continued collaboration with neighboring towns, Eagle County, and the USFS is essential for a successful trail network. EVALUATION OF EXISTING TRAILS 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 28 October 16, 2018 - Page 55 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails The location and alignment of trails are typically defined by terrain, site constraints and opportunities, and objectives for creating trail linkages or connecting trails to specific destinations. Trail systems are not necessarily bound by property ownership or political boundaries. As such, the evaluation of existing trails involve trails that are located or start within Vail's boundary and trails in the surrounding area. Factors considered in the evaluation of existing trails included the number and length of existing trails, agencies responsible for trail management, type of trail (paved or soft surface), trail user groups (multi -use, hiking only, biking only) and trail ability level. A total of 90 hard and soft surface trails totaling nearly 200 miles were inventoried. While the vast majority of these trails are located outside of the Town's boundary, they are considered part of Vail's trail system given their connectivity and proximity to Vail. For example, only short segments of East Vail trails (such as Booth Falls and Bighorn, are located within the Town's boundary, yet the entire length of these trails are included in this inventory. The Two Elk trail is well outside the Town's boundaries, but given its connectivity to trails on Vail Mountain it is included in this inventory. Charts and tables below provide general information on existing trails in the greater Vail area. Throughout the greater Vail area there is a relatively even distribution of easy, moderate and difficult ability level trails. There is a high percentage of easy ability multi -use trails, however this percentage is skewed by the large amount of paved trails, all of which are considered easy ability level. The percentage of hiking only and biking only trails is relatively low. This is largely a function of most USFS 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Greater Vail Network Trail Management - Percent of Total • USFS • Vail Resort • TOV • CDOT • Eagle County/Avon Greater Vail Network by Intended User Type - Percent of Total • Hiking • Biking • Multi Use Greater Vail Network by Intended User Type, and Ability Level Hiking 20% Easy — 8% Moderate — 35% Difficult — 56% Biking 13% Easy — 8% Moderate — 72% Difficult — 20% Multi -Use 67% Easy — 42% Moderate — 32% Difficult — 26% Note: Numbers may not total due to rounding trails being multi -use. Hiking only trails are primarily located in wilderness areas and biking only trails are primarily located on Vail Mountain. The Town of Vail manages 19 miles of trails. 29 Approximately 17 miles of these are hard surface trails and just 2 miles are soft surface trails. Examples of soft surface trails include the Village Streamwalk and the Vail Nature Center Trail. All trails managed by the Town are easy ability level trails. There are many other trail opportunities within and proximate to Vail that are managed by others. Vail Mountain includes a system of interpretive, hiking, biking and freeride biking trails, many of which are directly accessible from Town. Eight USFS trailheads providing access to multi -use and hiking trails are located in Vail. Most Vail Mountain and USFS trails are in the moderate and difficult ability level. The trail inventory process employed trail -use counters and identified more than 14 miles of unsanctioned social trails. As expected, trail - use counts revealed the highest level of use on the paved paths, with up to 3,000 users per week on sections of the Gore Valley Trail. As for soft -surface trails, it is interesting to note that, while lower, the use -level on non -sanctioned social trails is significant when compared to sanctioned trails. For example, the trail counters estimate approximately 300-400 users per week on sections of the sanctioned North Trail, while some social trails see between 100-200 weekly users. Social trails are typically found in areas where sanctioned trails do not exist, often providing neighborhood access to a soft - surface trail. This indicates the desire for people to access trails from their homes, regardless of proximity to official trails. The map on the following page depicts existing hard and soft surface trails and social trails in and around the Town of Vail.

The community clearly values recreation trails and clearly values our natural environment and wildlife. This raises the question — what is the current state of wildlife in and around Vail? The Gore Creek Valley has changed dramatically since Vail was established in the early 1960's and these changes, be it from the growth of the Town and the population the Gore Valley now supports, the size and level of activity on Vail Mountain, Interstate 70, or the increased year -around recreational activity in and around Vail, there have been significant impacts on wildlife habitat. A 2017 letter from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) documented significant declines in the population of many species, particularly deer, elk and bighorn sheep, and that the long-term sustainability of these species is in question. Many factors could be attributable to these declining populations, among them weather, disease, population management, loss of habitat, development and human disturbance. While the current level of development in and around Vail is a major factor, there is no question that human activity from recreation trails directly impact wildlife and its habitat. The 2017 CPW letter is found in the appendix of this Plan. The Wildlife Forum held in January of 2018 involved a panel discussion of wildlife in and around the Gore Valley. Presentations were made by two independent wildlife biologists 2018 Open Lands Plan Update and wildlife biologists from the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the CPW. Presentations addressed the current state of wildlife in the Gore Creek Valley, potential reasons for the decline of some species, the importance of quality habitat to the health of wildlife, how human activity can impact wildlife and the potential for implementing measures for minimizing, mitigating, or eliminating impacts on wildlife. A video of the Wildlife Forum is available for viewing at http://www.vailgov.com/ wildlifeforum. A summary of the Wildlife Forum is found in the appendix of this Plan. WILDLIFE AND RECREATION TRAILS Recreation trails can impact wildlife and wildlife habitat many ways. The mere presence of human activity from a hiker or biker will affect wildlife by causing stress, affecting foraging time and generally disrupting how typical behavioral patterns and how habitat is typically utilized. These impacts affect an animal's overall level of health and fitness, its reproductive success and winter survival rates. These impacts are particularly adverse in critical wildlife habitat such as calving areas, migration corridors and winter range areas. One thing is clear — any discussion of recreation trails cannot take place without a parallel discussion of wildlife. The CPW has prepared wildlife maps that can be used to gauge potential impacts from trails and human activity on wildlife. These maps are based on data and findings from various wildlife studies, they are not based on site-specific analysis. That said, these maps do provide a general indication of factors to consider when studying how recreation trails could affect wildlife. Area of Influence Maps The CPW has mapped "areas of influence" for various species. Areas of influence are 31 defined by horizontal distances measured from a trail, within which wildlife could be affected. Distances are based on data from wildlife studies and as such do not take into consideration terrain, vegetation or other site- specific considerations that could influence how a trail may affect wildlife. The distances used to define the area of influence vary by species. CPW generated Area of Influence maps for elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep and peregrine falcon based on conceptual trail ideas from early in this planning process. While general in nature, this mapping provides a starting point for understanding potential impacts from trails. Copies of these maps are found in the appendix. Note that the maps generated by CPW are based on trail ideas that are different from what is now presented in this Plan. Nonetheless, they do provide some context for understanding the information provided by these maps. Wildlife Resource Maps CPW has mapped wildlife resources for many different species. These maps indicate the general location of winter range, severe winter range, calving areas, migration corridors and other types of wildlife habitat.

Trail Density Maps Trail density maps depict miles of trails per square mile. This data provides a general indication of the intensity of trail activity within a region. Below is a density map prepared by CPW of existing trails within the Gore Valley and surrounding area. Green indicates areas with fewer existing trails per square mile, while red areas indicate more trails per square mile. A basic premise when planning recreation trails that are sensitive to wildlife is to locate new trails within areas already influenced by human activity. The Trail Density Map provides information helpful to this effort. It should be noted that the density maps depict trail density only, they do not depict the impact of roads, homes or other development or the amount of use on any exisitng trail. These maps and feedback from CPW during the in defining suggestions for new trail ideas. MITIGATING MEASURES PRIOR TO THE STUDY OF POTENTIAL NEW TRAILS The CPW has documented significant declines in certain wildlife populations in the Gore Valley and the surrounding region and there is near universal agreement that activity from recreation trails can adversely impact wildlife populations and its habitats. In response to the existing condition of wildlife resources in the Gore Valley and value the Vail community places on wildlife, it is recommended that prior to the development of new recreation trails that the following steps be taken in an attempt to improve wildlife resources: Trail -Free Zones Areas that are free of trails generally have very little human activity and these areas serve as wildlife sanctuaries where animals benefit from solitude and the lack of disruption from humans. Defining trail -free zones could be a great benefit to wildlife resources. Trail -free zones are depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan. These zones are located on USFS land and coordination with the USFS would be necessary to implement these zones. Areas depicted are conceptual in nature and will need further study and refinement during subsequent evaluation of trails and wildlife. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Public Education Educating the public on how 35 trail use can affect wildlife can be very effective in fostering behavior that is sensitive to wildlife. Respecting trail closures, having dogs on leash and not walking off trails are examples of behavior that will help minimize the impacts of trail use. If people understand the importance of being respectful and sensitive to wildlife resources, they will be more likely to behave in a respectful and sensitive manner. Educational programs targeted to both locals and guests should be implemented. Seasonal Trail Closures CPW has indicated that by and large, most people comply with seasonal wildlife trail closures. That said, using video cameras the USFS has documented extensive violations of a trail closure with the Town. However, the impacts to wildlife can be significant when closures are violated. Steps to improve compliance with seasonal closures could include active monitoring of trailheads, taking enforcement action against violators and constructing gates at trails with seasonal closures. These measures will require coordination with CPW and USFS. Habitat Enhancement Wildlife habitat has been impacted by development, fragmentation and overall declining health. Options for improving habitat by enhancing vegetation include: controlled burns, fertilization and manual manipulation of vegetation. Coordination with CPW and USFS should be initiated to define how the Town could assist in programs to enhance habitat in and around Vail. CONCEPTUAL TRAILS PLAN The Conceptual Trails Plan identifies twelve October 16, 2018 - Page 62 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails soft surface trails and trail connections in and around the Vail area that warrant further study and community discussion. Referred to as "trail ideas", each is described in detail below and each is depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan. Trail ideas discussed below include both the possibility of new trail development and possibility of closing existing trails. Trail ideas were derived from the analysis of Vail's existing trail system, input received during community scoping sessions and with input from technical experts, agencies and other stakeholders. A summary of community input on trails is found in the appendix. The purpose of the Conceptual Trails Plan is to provide a vision for improvements to Vail's trail system. A great deal of additional evaluation, planning and design is necessary before final decisions can be made on which, if any, of these trail ideas are constructed. It is very likely that with further study some trails depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan will be dropped from consideration due to design challenges, environmental or wildlife impacts, cost, public input or other factors. A matrix summarizing each of these trail ideas is found below. Parameters for defining the Conceptual Trails Plan Trail ideas evolved throughout this planning process. Initially twenty-one new trail ideas were identified. Each of these were evaluated based on the vision for Vail's Trails and key themes that came out of the small group meetings and the trails workshop. The following parameters were used to determine the trail ideas to be included in the Conceptual Trails Plan: • The trail is located such that it may be feasible through design, construction, or management to minimize, mitigate, or eliminate adverse impacts on wildlife. • The trail be designed and constructed to be safe for all intended uses or the trail improves the safety of the trail system. • The trail improves or expands recreational opportunities for one or more user group. • The trail improves neighborhood connectivity or provides beneficial linkages between existing trails. When considering these parameters, ten trails were eliminated from consideration. In most cases trails were eliminated due to their potential for wildlife impacts. The removal of these trails is not intended to suggest that other trail ideas will not affect wildlife resources. Wildlife and environmental analysis for all trail ideas shall be completed as an element of making final decisions on any new trail development. Wildlife considerations relative to trail ideas are discussed further in the Description of Trail Ideas and Opportunity and Process for Evaluation of New Trails sections below. A plan depicting all trails originally considered and trails dropped from consideration is found in the Appendix. The Conceptual Trails Plan is found on the following page. Each of the eleven trail ideas are discussed below. Follow- up actions necessary for the Town to address prior to the future development of any new trail are described in Chapter 5 Action Plan and Chapter 6 Implementation. It should be noted that this planning effort did not attempt to identify all minor trail improvements that could establish other pedestrian connections to improve walkability throughout the Town. An example of this could be a new trail along Middle Creek done in conjunction with the redevelopment of the 2017 Open Lands Plan Update -Summary of Trail Ideas # Trail Name Suggested User Group Suggested Ability Level Supports Trail Vision Issues/Concerns 1 North Trail to Davos Connector Multi -use Intermediate Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife 2 Avon/Nottingham Ridge Connector Multi -use Intermediate/Difficult Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife, Easments 3 Intermountain Trail Hiking -only Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife 4 Matterhorn Trail Hiking, Mountain Biking More Difficult Sustainability, Connectivity, Diversity Wildlife, Safety, Sustainability 5 Intermountain to Lionshead Connector Multi -use Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife, Easments 6 Red Sandstone Valley Trail Multi -use Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife 7 Son of Middle Creek to Red Sandstone Road Conne Multi -use Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity Wildlife, Easments, Terrain 8 Vail Mountain Cross Connector Multi -use Beginner/Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, Sustainability Wildlife, Easements 9 Vail Trail Hiking -only Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, Sustainability Wildlife, Easements, Terrain, Hazard Areas 10 East Water Tank Trail -liking, Limited Mountain Bikini More Difficult Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, Sustainability Wildlife, Terrain 11 Two Elk Connector Multi -use Intermediate Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, Safety Wildlife, Terrain, Easements 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 36 October 16, 2018 - Page 63 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails #2 - Avon/ Nottingham Ridge Connector #.

DESCRIPTION OF TRAIL IDEAS AND OPPORTUNITIES Below are descriptions of the eleven trail ideas depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan. When relevant, factors unique to these trails ideas to be considered in the subsequent study of these trail ideas are also provided. Trails are numbered sequentially from west to east, numbering does not reflect trail priorities. #1. North Trail to Davos Connector: Proposed multi -use trail to connect segments of the North trail to the Davos Trail to create a moderate loop trail from West Vail. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Diversity, Connectivity • Issues/Concerns/Process: wildlife analysis, USFS approval #2. Avon/Nottingham Ridge Connector: Proposed multi -use trail to connect the North Trail to the existing Nottingham Ridge Trail and future Traer Creek development in Avon. This connection is identified in the current White River National Forest Travel Management Plan. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Intermediate/Difficult • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Wildlife analysis, coordination with Traer Creek Development Company, Town of Avon, USFS approval #3. Intermountain Trail: Existing social trail provides intermediate soft -surface hiking opportunity for the Intermountain neighborhood. The upper reaches could be adopted/ improved as a hiking -only trail while the lower reach could provide hiking/ biking access to Trail Opportunity #5. • User groups: Hiking -only • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Connectivity, Diversity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Steep terrain, safety, wildlife analysis, USFS approval #4. Matterhorn Trail: 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 38 Existing social trail connects Eagles Nest/Game Creek Trail down to the Matterhorn neighborhood. If formally approved by USFS, trail should be realigned in sections to improve sustainability and connected to Trail #5. Potential wildlife impacts from this trail need to be evaluated comprehensively with Trails #3 and #5. An outcome of this analysis could be to take steps to close the Matterhorn Trail. • User groups: Hiking, mountain biking • Ability Level: More difficult • Supports Vision Goals: Sustainability, Connectivity, Diversity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Steep grades, safety, wildlife analysis, USFS approval #5. Intermountain to Lionshead Connector: Proposed multi -use trail to connect the Intermountain Trail (#3) to Hank's Hideaway on Vail Mountain with several neighborhood trailheads to provide access. The alignment could pass through recent timber cuts as a way of reducing environmental impacts. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, • Issues/Concerns/Process: Wildlife analysis, evaluate private property impacts, USFS approval #6. Red Sandstone Valley Trail: Proposed multi -use trail connecting Vail to existing and proposed trails in the forest north of Vail. This soft -surface trail parallels Red Sandstone Road and Piney Lake Road to provide a much safer alternative by providing trail users an alternative to Red Sandstone Road. This trail, if deemed feasible from a design and wildlife impact standpoint, will need to be "tight" to Red Sandstone Road in order to minimize habitat fragmentation and impacts from trail use. • User groups: Mufti -use • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, • Issues/Concerns/Process: Wildlife analysis, USFS approval #7. Son of Middle Creek to Red Sandstone Road Connector: This trail connects the Son of Middle Creek trail to Red Sandstone Road through Town of Vail and USFS land above Red Sandstone School. This connector creates an intermediate loop with the North Trail and provides October 16, 2018 - Page 65 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails a loop alternative between Lionshead and Vail Village on the north side of I-70. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Terrain, private property impacts, wildlife analysis, Town of Vail approvals, USFS approval #8. Vail Mountain Cross Connector: Potential soft -surface trail across the lower reaches of Vail Mountain utilizing existing trail where feasible. Requires planning process and approvals with Vail Resorts and USFS. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Beginner/Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity, Sustainability • Issues/Concerns/Process: Wildlife analysis, evaluate private property impacts, USFS approval #9. Vail Trail: Existing social trail provides intermediate soft -surface hiking and limited biking between Vail Village and the Golf Course Clubhouse. The trail currently crosses into USFS and private property and should be formalized with the property owners. Trail improvements are needed to address sustainability and accessibility. This trail is recommended to be a hiking -only trail. Any work to improve this trail should maintain the width and informal, organic character of the existing trail. • User groups: Hiking -only • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Sustainability, Connectivity, Diversity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Steep terrain, hazard areas, private property, wildlife analysis, USFS approval # 10. East Water Tank Trail: Existing social trail provides intermediate soft -surface hiking and limited biking for the East Vail neighborhood. Wildlife implications of this social trail will need to be evaluated to determine whether this trail should be formalized or whether steps should be taken to close the trail. If efforts are made to formalize this trail, the narrow width and scale of the existing trial should be maintained, particularly with the westernmost leg of the trail given steep terrain in this area. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 39 • User groups: Hiking, limited mountain biking • Ability Level: More difficult • Supports Vision Goals: Accessibility, Sustainability, Connectivity, Diversity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Steep terrain, wildlife analysis, USFS approval #1 1. Two EIk Connector: This new soft -surface trail would connect the lower reach of the Two Elk Trail with East Vail, eliminating the need to access the Vail Pass bike path. The trail would align low on the hillside south of 1-70 and improve a long loop -trail for the Vail area. Wildlife implications of this trail will need to be evaluated. • User groups: Multi -use • Ability Level: Intermediate • Supports Vision Goals: Safety, Accessibility, Diversity, Connectivity • Issues/Concerns/Process: Terrain analysis, private property impacts, wildlife analysis, USFS approval October 16, 2018 - Page 66 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails OTHER TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS Trail Improvements from the 1994 Plan Many of the trail and trail system improvements identified in the '94 Plan have been completed. A number of improvements that have not been implemented, such as the Vail Trail, the South Trail and a loop trail network around the Town are included in the Conceptual Trails Plan. Below are uncompleted improvements from the '94 Plan, most of which should still be considered for implementation: Vail Mountain Access The Town should continue to work with Vail Resorts to improve trailhead information, signage, etc. at Golden Peak, Vail Village and Lionshead. The potential to expand the trail system on Vail Mountain should also be discussed with Vail Resorts. Neighborhood Trailheads The '94 Plan identified trailhead improvements that would provide trail connections to existing neighborhoods. The location and design of these connections should be evaluated as a part of the design process for potential new trails. Paved Shoulders on Vail Valley Drive to Sunburst Drive The '94 Plan suggested paved shoulders along Vail Valley Drive to provide a safer connection between Vail Village and the Gore Valley Trail. The potential for this path has been studied and due to narrow right-of-way and existing improvements, this path is not considered to be feasible. As an alternative, traffic calming measures for this road will be studied as part of the update to the Town's Transportation Master Plan. Paved Trails The following trail segments would connect existing, paved multi -use trail segments to enhance non -motorized connectivity. Refer to the Conceptual Trails Plan for the location of these trails: Intermountain to West Vail Interchange (#A) Donovan Park to Westhaven Drive (#B) West Lionshead Circle to East Lionshead Circle (#C) 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 40 Lionhead Parking Structure to Vail Municipal Complex (#D) South Frontage Road to Meadow Drive Connector (#E) Vail Mountain School to East Vail Interchange (#F) Youth Facilities Two ideas are suggested for improving bike opportunities for children: Kids Bike Park/Pump Track A series of short loops, dirt piles, jumps, etc designed for younger kids. This idea was raised multiple times during community input meetings. Potential locations include the Booth Creek area next to the I-70 berms and Golden Peak. Single Track Loop A short loop trail on the upper bench of Donovan Park designed as beginner hiking and kids mountain biking. Trail Maintenance The need for significant maintenance to three existing trails was identified: North Trail (Buffehr Creek to Cortina Lane) Existing multi -use trail has several eroded/poorly constructed trail sections. Recommend working with the USFS to improve/reconstruct those sections as needed. North Trail (Red Sandstone Road to Buffehr Creek Road) Existing multi -use trail has several eroded/poorly constructed trail sections. Recommend working with the USFS to improve/reconstruct those sections as needed. Buffehr Creek Trail Existing multi -use trail could be improved with several short realignments to improve usability and sustainability. Recommend working with the USFS to improve/reconstruct those sections as needed. Accessible Trails Vail's parks, playgrounds, public buildings and other public facilities are designed to be inclusive of varying ability levels. Whether a person's ability is affected by age or physical disability, the Town strives to provide "accessible" public amenities. When designing new trails or evaluating October 16, 2018 - Page 67 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails existing trails, accessible paved and soft -surface trails should be considered as part of the process. Paved trails are evaluated using criteria from the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). The U.S. Forest Service evaluates trails though the publication, Forest Service Trail Accessibility Guidelines (FSTAG), which allow for varying levels of accessibility that are correlated with user experience for a given trail type. Accessibility should be addressed as part of any subsequent work on a comprehensive trail plan as described in Chapter 4. TRAIL TYPES AND STANDARDS A variety of improvements to Vail's existing system of trails and paths are contemplated by this Plan. Hiking -only trails, multi -use trails, beginner level trails, paved trails and wide shoulders are examples of these trail and path improvements. Standards for the design and construction of paved and soft -surface trails will vary depending on the type of trail, intended user groups, terrain and other considerations. Design standards will be one of many factors in determining the feasibility of future trail improvements. A summary of trail and path types along with relevant design standards are found in the appendix of this Plan. REGIONAL CONTEXT OF VAIL'S TRAILS The Regional Context Plan on the following page depicts existing trails and trail ideas in a broader context and how trails proximate to Vail interface with outlying trails and with neighboring communities. The Regional 2018 Open Lands Plan Update Context Plan also depicts potential trail improvements located outside of the area covered by the Conceptual Trails Plan. PROCESS FOR EVALUATION OF TRAIL IDEAS The process for studying the potential development of any new trails will involve a number of steps, the first of which will be direction from the Town Council for staff to prepare a more detailed plan for potential trail improvements. Like the Open Lands Plan update process, this detailed trail planning process will involve public input and will essentially take the Conceptual Trails Plan to a higher level of detail. It is anticipated that this trail planning process will involve revisiting the need for and potential benefits of each trail idea, defining trail alignments and other design considerations, and understanding trail construction and maintenance costs. In addition, site-specific environmental (soil and geologic conditions, vegetation and wetlands, etc.) and wildlife analysis will be completed in order to understand the potential impacts of any new trail that is under consideration. Only after this additional planning and analysis will the Town make decisions on whether to pursue the development of any new or alteration/adoption of existing trails. Wildlife Analysis A major element of the next phase of work in evaluating the feasibility of new trail development will be the completion of a detailed, comprehensive environmental analysis, a key element of which will be an evaluation of how trails could impact wildlife resources. It is anticipated that this evaluation will be completed by a consultant retained by the Town and that the evaluation will among other things evaluate existing wildlife resources and 41 habitats, assess potential impacts that may result from trail development, and identify whether it is feasible to implement measures that could minimize, mitigate, or eliminate such impacts. The goal of this analysis is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of all new trail ideas and existing and social trails in and around Vail. The findings of this analysis will assist the Town in future decision-making regarding the potential development of any new trail ideas and whether to formalize or take steps to close existing social trails. CPW will play a significant role in this process by providing baseline information and by providing referral comments during this process. The findings of this environmental analysis and specifically the wildlife evaluation will be a major factor in the Town's decisions on whether to proceed with any new trail development. Ultimately the Town Council will decide how to balance the community's desire for recreational trails with the community's desire that trails be sensitive to wildlife and other environmental considerations. The purpose of the wildlife evaluation is to provide the Town with information necessary to understand how new trails may impact wildlife, and where a trail may present impacts whether measures can be implemented to mitigate them. While the Town Council will make decisions on trails at the local level, the USFS will be the ultimate decision - maker on any trails located on USFS lands. Information from this environmental analysis will be included in formal applications to the USFS. The environmental and wildlife evaluations described above should be coordinated with the ecological/biodiversity study discussed in October 16, 2018 - Page 68 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails „s„ Buck Creek s • • Armnrak ♦ %%• • • • .AVON 5 .4 #2 - Avon/ Nottingham Ridge Connector ---- , • • • • • To Piney Lost Lake 'Is 1 11 t l�-- , o, -- Buffehr i '' Creek #6- Red Sandstone Valley Trail #7 - Son of Middle to Red Sandstone Road Connector • #1' Mexth� rail to Davos Connieetor 1 EAGLEVAIL• #3 - Intermountain Trail Meadow Mountain #4 - Matterhorn • • Trail #9 - Vail Trai'I , s #8 - Vail Mountain Cross Connector #5 - Intermountain to Lionshead Connector \ Courage 1 Ridge g MIr�TURN Two Elk Trail F • • • • ••1 Existing Trails Trail Ideas and Suggestions New Paved Paths Potential Children's Bike Facilities Mill Creek Road • Bowman's Short-cut c.11:6,••*--; , #10 - East Watertank Trail #11 - Two Elk Connector ♦--.1, ,poi ,.- , r 111 /4/ NORTH REGIONAL CONTEXT PLAN 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 42 October 16, 2018 - Page 69 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails Chapter 2. USFS Process Each of the twelve trail ideas depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan are located entirely or in part on USFS land. As such, these trails will involve review by the USFS. The review of proposals for new trails on USFS lands involves two steps. The USFS process evaluates trails under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. The first step with the USFS involves submittal of a proposal that includes a comprehensive, Town -wide trails plan. This Town -wide trails plan will define trail alignments very broadly with 200 yard wide corridors and will identify user groups, trail levels and trail standards. The trails plan will also involve coordination with entities proximate to Vail so that trail planning can be integrated with that of other communities. Environmental information in accordance with the NEPA process is also required and all USFS processes include opportunities for public input. Following USFS review of this initial step, if approved the second step with the USFS involves detailed design of proposed trails and more a detailed NEPA process. As compared with step one which involves the comprehensive trail system, with step two individual trail segments can be proposed for approval and construction. A comprehensive outline of the USFS process is found in the appendix. EASEMENTS FROM PRIVATE LAND OWNERS Many of the new trail ideas within the Town will require the Town to obtain easements from private land owners. Chapter 5 - Action Plan identifies privately owned parcels where easements would be necessary to develop trail segments within the Town boundary. Seven such actions are recommended. Refer to Chapter 5 Action Plan for information on these easements. Potential Collaborations A number of the trails identified on the Conceptual Trails Plan are located outside of the Town's boundaries and would implement more regionally - oriented trail improvements. Examples of these include the potential adoption of the Matterhorn Trail and the Avon/Nottingham Ridge Connector. It is possible that the Town could facilitate new trail development on Vail Mountain by pursuing collaboration with Vail Resorts. It is likely that if these trails are to be developed, they will involve the Town collaborating with other jurisdictions and organizations. Refer to Chapter 6 Implementation for additional discussion on the implementation of trail improvements. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 43 October 16, 2018 - Page 70 of 411 Chapter 4 - Trails CHAPTER 5 - ACTION PLAN The Action Plan from the '94 Plan "provides a framework for obtaining and protecting open lands as well as creating trail linkages in a logical and comprehensive manner". The Action Plan chapter of the '94 Plan addressed protection techniques for open lands, established priorities for action, and provided land use recommendations for Town -owned lands and for improvements to the Town's trail system. The most significant element of the Action Plan is a comprehensive list of recommendations for the acquisition of properties or easements necessary to implement the goals of the Plan. Referred to as Action Items, these acquisitions were recommended to protect environmentally sensitive lands, to facilitate the development of trails, to obtain land needed for community -oriented uses and to simplify the Town's boundary with adjacent United States Forest Service lands. The Action Plan from the '94 Plan identified fifty-one parcels for acquisition or for obtaining easements. Since 1994, thirty of these Action Items have been completed and another eight Action Items have been partially completed. Thirty of the fifty-one Action Items were recommended to protect environmentally sensitive lands and sixteen were for trail development or for access to Gore Creek. Thirty-six of the Action Items were High Priority Items and twenty-five of these high priority items have been completed. The Town has been quite effective in the implementation of Action Items from the '94 Plan. A plan depicting the status of Action Items from the '94 Plan is found in the appendix. The updated Action Plan on page 42 identifies twenty-seven Action Items that are recommended to implement improvements and recommendations described in Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of this Plan. Like the '94 Plan, these Action Items recommend the acquisition of land or easements necessary to further the Town's goals for the protection of environmentally sensitive lands, trail development and land needed for community -oriented uses. Refer to Chapter 6 Implementation for information on other follow-up actions recommended to implement the goals of this Plan. Each of these Action Items are discussed in greater detail below. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 44 October 16, 2018 - Page 71 of 411 Chapter 5 - Action Plan 2017 ACTION PLAN The twenty-seven Action Items are shown two ways — all Action Items are identified on the Town -wide Action Plan found on the following page and each Action Item is depicted on more detailed maps along with a description of the Action Item. Descriptions address the purpose for the action, whether the action involves the acquisition of land or easements, the relative priority for the action and other information regarding the parcel and the recommended action. There are four different categories of Action Items: Action Items from '94 Plan Of the fifty-one Action Items from the '94 Plan, thirty-eight were either implemented, partially implemented, addressed alternative ways or the Action Item has been deemed to no longer be feasible. An example of an Action Item being implemented alternative ways is the Town acquiring an easement for the development of a trail in lieu of the Action Plan recommendation for outright purchase of the parcel. An example of an Action Item no longer being feasible is a vacant parcel that was recommended for acquisition but was developed before it could be acquired. Action Items to Protect Environmentally Sensitive Lands Fifteen Action Items are recommended to protect environmentally sensitive lands. These items focus on land located adjacent to Gore Creek or its tributaries, lands with access challenges, steep terrain and wildlife resources. The Action Items that address parcels located along water courses and are intended to reinforce the Town's initiatives to improve water quality and protect wetlands and riparian 2018 Open Lands Plan Update habitat. Strategies for Action Items involve the outright purchase of land, working with land owners to re -zone property or to establish conservation easements to limit the development of the land or other techniques to protect these lands. Action Items to Implement Trail Improvements Seven Action Items are recommended to facilitate the development of new recreation trails or to improve the Town's trail system. Strategies for these Action Items involve either the acquisition of land or easements. Action Items to Address Town/Community Facility Needs Six parcels are recommended for acquisition to provide land for public facilities or community needs. Four of these Action Items are sites that could potentially be developed with workforce housing and two parcels that will clarify ownership of a Town road. Action Items listed above total more than twenty- seven because some Action Items address multiple goals. A matrix summarizing all recommended action items is found in the appendix. 45 October 16, 20 1111 41-W ACTION ITEMS 2018 Open Lands Plan Update 46 October 16, 2018 - Page 73 of 411 Chapter 5 - Action Plan West Vail Interchange #2 4"4„, orAri-Y II At a tip Intermountain ACTION ITEMS Below are descriptions of the twenty-seven recommended Action Items.

October 16, 2018 - Page 79 of 411 Chapter 5 - Action Plan CHAPTER 6 - IMPLEMENTATION The Open Lands Plan provides a general framework for the implementation of actions to achieve goals for the acquisition and protection of environmentally sensitive lands, the use and management of Town lands and Town and community facilities and trails. Some recommendations, such as the acquisition of specific parcels or easement are very specific. These recommendations are outlined in Chapter 5 Action Plan. Other recommendations, referred to as Implementation Steps are addressed at a more general level and involve things like the implementation of a program or a study necessary to make final decisions on if or how to proceed with implementing the goals of this Plan. An example of a follow-up study is the need to complete a detailed environmental and wildlife analysis in order to make final decisions on recreation trails. These types of general recommendations are described in preceding chapters of this Plan. This chapter summarizes the major Implementation Steps recommended by this Plan, suggestions on how these recommendations can be addressed, the potential for collaborations and potential funding sources. At the conclusion of this chapter is a matrix summarizing all Implementation Steps. It is recommended that Town Staff meet with the Town Council on an annual basis to define priorities and establish a work program for implementing the goals of this Plan. ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS Chapter 3 - Environmentally Sensitive Lands identifies parcels to be acquired and/or protected from development and addresses methods for the protection of such lands. Action Items from Action Plan The Action Plan identifies fifteen privately - 53 owned, environmentally sensitive parcels for acquisition and protection. Refer to Chapter 2 Environmentally Sensitive Lands and Chapter 5 Action Plan for additional information on these parcels. The first step in implementing these Action Items is for Town staff to work with the Town Council to establish a work program and priorities for Action Items to be addressed. Once priorities are determined, the initial step will be for staff to initiate dialogue with land owners to gauge their interested in working with the Town on the acquisition of their property or on other steps to protect the land from development e.g. conservation easement, re -zoning, etc.). Land Acquisitions The '94 Plan identified techniques for the acquisition of environmentally sensitive lands and for the acquisition of lands for public purposes or community use. These techniques remain valid today: • Acquire fee interest - This traditional method involves paying fair market value to a willing seller for full fee interest in the land. A purchase using terms or installments could be beneficial to both the Town and the seller. • Tax Sale - If or when the opportunity presents itself, acquiring land via tax sale would be a very cost effective way for the Town to acquire property. • Donations - While closely related to benefits from a conservation easement (see below), a private landowners donation of land or development rights to the Town could provide tax benefits to the land owner. October 16, 2018 - Page 80 cpter 6 - Implementation • Bargain Sale - This is a combination of a donation and sale of land or development rights. Bargain sales are considered when a land owner cannot afford to donate the entire value of a property. Funds generated by the Town's RETT are one potential source of revenue for land acquisitions. Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) programs are another potential funding source. GOCO programs include grants for conservation easement transaction costs and grants for open space acquisitions. The Eagle County Open Space Program is another source of funding that should be pursued. Conservation Easements on Private Land Conservation easements limit development opportunities and protect privately -owned lands from development in a way that can be beneficial to the land owner and to the Town. The benefit to the Town is that a conservation easement would protect the land without the Town expending funds to purchase the land in fee. The land owner may realize tax benefits for the donation of the conservation easement. There are also funding sources available for landowners to assist with implementing a conservation easement. The Town could collaborate with a land owner and land trust on conservation easements. For example, the Town could purchase land outright then work with a land trust to obtain grants (to offset the purchase price) in exchange for placing a conservation easement on the land. The Town could also assist a land trust in acquiring a conservation easement by providing funding to reimburse the land owner for the value of the development rights they will be giving up. 2018 Open Lands Plan Update These and other opportunities should be explored by the Town. Designated Open Space and Conservation Easements This Plan discusses two approaches for how the Town can protect Town -owned open space parcels - the Designated Open Space process and conservation easements. Twenty-six Town -owned parcels are eligible to be dedicated as Designated Open Space. In addition, this Plan identifies four parcels for consideration of conservation easements. It is recommended that Town Staff initiate a detailed evaluation of these parcels and prepare recommendations for which parcels, if any, warrant being dedicated as Designated Open Space and which parcels, if any, may warrant protection via a conservation easement. This effort should be supported by a citizen's task force. The findings of this evaluation would then be presented to the Designated Open Space Board of Trustees who would make decisions regarding any recommendations to the Town Council regarding both Designated Open Space parcels and conservation easements. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND COMMUNITY NEEDS/USE AND MANAGEMENT OF TOWN LANDS Workforce Housing The Action Plan identifies four parcels of land for potential acquisition for the development of workforce housing and Town facilities. Town staff should initiate dialogue with these land owners to gauge their interest in selling their land. If the landowner(s) have an interest in selling and upon direction from the Town Council, conceptual site/ development feasibility studies should be completed 54 to better understand the development potential of these parcels. The Vail Housing Authority can play a role in these evaluations and assist in the acquisition of the potential housing parcels. Public Facilities and Community Needs There were a number of public facilities and community needs that were discussed during the preparation of this update. An expanded snow dump, solar farm, disc golf course, and event or performing arts centers are some examples of these. While specific locations for these and other facilities are not provided by this Plan, it is assumed that one or more of these ideas may be pursued if or when directed by the Town Council. Management of Lands for Biodiversity The protection, preservation and enhancement of vegetation, aquatic resources, riparian and wildlife habitats and other natural resources found on Vail's open lands is an important community priority. Understanding these resources and making sound decisions regarding the use and management of Town lands is an objective of this Plan. It is recommended that a comprehensive study of Vail's open space lands be completed, monitoring of these resources be initiated and programs for enhancing these lands be implemented. Understanding the existing condition and health of the natural landscape is necessary to establishing a "baseline" for the ongoing monitoring of these natural resources. This effort should be completed by an ecological -oriented consulting firm with the underlying objectives of inventorying these natural resources and developing programs to enhance the biodiversity of these lands. October 16, 2018 - Page 81 c IePpter 6 - Implementation It will also be important to understand how the management and use of Town open lands effects these natural resources. Formal policies for the management of Town lands should be an outcome of this effort. Management policies for the Town's open space lands should be adopted by the Town Council after completion of studies described above and in Chapter 3 — Town Owned Lands and Use of Town Lands. Routine Maintenance of Town Open Lands The Town's Public Works Department currently manages Town -owned open lands. This effort should be formalized to establish a comprehensive program for the routine maintenance of lands that includes, among other things, periodic inspection of lands, weed control and vegetation management, maintaining of signs and other facilities, clearing of litter, maintaining drainage, etc. Appropriate staff and budget should be established to implement this program. Management programs should be refined based on the findings and policies that may result from the bio -diversity study described in the preceding section. RECREATIONAL TRAILS This Plan identifies twelve ideas for potential improvements to the soft surface trail system in and around Vail. These ideas include the potential for new trails, the adoption, or formalization of existing social trails or the closure of social trails. These trail ideas and the process for further study and for obtaining approval from the USFS for new trails, easements necessary for new trails and the 2018 Open Lands Plan Update potential for collaboration with other organizations are discussed in Chapter 5 — Trails. Wildlife Enhancements In response to the existing condition of wildlife resources in the Gore Valley and the value the Vail community places on wildlife, it is recommended that prior to the development of new recreation trails, that the following steps be taken in an attempt to improve wildlife resources: • Better define Trail -Free zones depicted on the Conceptual Trails Plan • Public Education • Enforcement of Seasonal Trail Closures • Habitat Enhancement The Town should initate dialogue with CPW and USFS on these initiatives. Action Items from Action Pian The Action Plan identifies the need for seven easements or land acquisitions that would be necessary to implement Trail Ideas. No action is necessary on these Action Items until environmental and wildlife evaluations are completed and decisions are made on future recreation trails. Decisions on easements and land acquisitions will be made at a later date. USFS Trails and Trailheads Eight trailheads within the Town of Vail provide access to trails on USFS lands. A number of these trails are new or have been improved in recent years. In many cases the current use of these trailheads is significant, to the point where the trail experience is compromised and there are issues with congestion at the trailheads. This is particularly true with the Booth Falls trail and others in East Vail. The Town should initiate dialogue with the USFS to discuss options for addressing the use of these 55 October 16, trails and implementing necessary management programs. Vail Resorts and Vail Mountain Trails Vail Resorts manages a network of interpretive, hiking and biking trails on Vail Mountain. A number of these trails extend into the Town of Vail. Vail Mountain trails represent a significant percentage of the soft surface recreational trails located proximate to or accessible from the Town. While Vail Resorts has no immediate or long-term plans to expand their system of trails, the Town should continue dialogue with Vail Resorts regarding any future trail improvement plans. Coordination with Vail Resorts will be needed on Trail #5 Intermountain to Lionshead Connector and Trail #8 Vail Mountain Cross Connector, both of with are located partly or 2018 - Page 82 c l4ipter 6 - Implementation entirely on Vail Mountain. In addition to trails identified on the Conceptual Trails Plan, the Town should initiate dialogue with Vail Resorts on the potential development of new trails, particularly trails located on the front side of Vail Mountain. Trails on the front side of Vail Mountain have the potential to link directly into Town, making them accessible to both residents and guests. In addition, the USFS review process for trails on the front side of the Vail Mountain would potentially be less rigorous given Vail Resorts current use permit. Trail Maintenance The Town of Vail currently maintains all paved and sanctioned soft -surface trails within its boundaries. In addition, the Town maintains the Gore Valley Trail between the Intermountain neighborhood and Highway 6/24 in Dowd Junction. Other trails within the greater Vail network are managed by the USFS, CDOT, ECO Trails and Vail Resorts. Any new soft -surface trails outside of Town boundaries may require that the Town become more active in trail management and trail maintenance. The Town should explore maintenance collaborations with Eagle County Adopt -a -Trail (a USFS and Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association program), Friends of Eagles Nest Wilderness, Vail Resorts EpicPromise and the Colorado Youth Corps, Trail Use/Education and Outreach During community input sessions many concerns were expressed about the Town's existing trail system. Among these concerns were improving the quality of signs and wayfinding, trail etiquette (specifically conflicts with different user groups and overcrowding at 2018 Open Lands Plan Update KNOW BEFORE YOU GO These trails are prone to muddy conditions, which can lead to significant trail damage!

These concerns can be addressed by a combination of improved signage and community outreach programs. Signage • An evaluation of all directional signs should be completed and as deemed necessary a program for improving these signs should be implemented, • Provide trail maps at all trailheads, • Adding signs on multi -use trails at switchbacks and blind spots alerting users to be aware of other trail users, and • Adding informational signs at trailheads to address topics such as wildlife considerations or trail closures, alerting users to trails being open to multi -use and information on the ability level of the trail. Outreach Program Establishing outreach programs to provide information on Vail's trails was considered a viable way to improve the trail experience for all trail users. Outreach programs could provide information on: 56 • Trail etiquette, specifically with regards to respecting other users on multi -use trails, • Wildlife or other seasonal closures, • Trail maps, information on ability levels, etc., • Encouraging the use of under-utilized trails in the area (to disperse users from over- crowded trails, and • Proper planning for trail use (clothing, food and water, emergency supplies. Information addressing these and other topics could be provided to trail users via local bike shops, the Town's visitor centers, the Town's web page and by local hotels. CONCLUSION As an element of- the Town of Vail Comprehensive Plan, the 2018 Open Lands Plan Update addresses opportunities for the acquisition and protection of sensitive lands, provides recommendations on the use of Town lands and outlines steps to take in evaluating existing and future recreation trails. The Plan provides the Vail Town Council and the Vail community with a framework for future actions and decision-making regarding each of these topics. While in many regards the Plan provides fairly explicit direction, the Plan is a master plan document and as such the Plan is general in nature. As noted throughout the Plan, much additional work, analysis and community involvement will be necessary prior to making future decisions. This Plan is an update to the 1994 Open Lands Plan. It is recommended that this Plan be re- visited in the next five to ten years.

The public involvement process consisted of four well -attended public meetings between August of 1993 and January of 1994. These meetings, along with a thorough review of all relevant planning and survey documents for the Town, resulted in a priority ranking of needs and uses for open space lands and recreational opportunities. This input led directly to the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan which identi- fies specific parcels and activities that should be pur- sued by the Town in order to realize the goals stated in both the public forum and previous community input on related plans. The priorities for open space and recreation needs communicated by the citizens of Vail are, in order of priority: 1. Acquisition, preservation and protection of natural open space; 2. Improvement of the trail and bike path sys- tems in and around the Town; and 3. Creation of additional recreation opportuni- ties in a regional context including a swim- ming pool, athletic fields and a recreation center. The concepts presented in this plan, developed as a result of this public input, describe connecting exist- ing trail systems that are either incomplete or not interconnected, adding an extensive new trail system that essentially surrounds the Town and better inter- faces with the National Forest System Lands and Vail Mountain, and protecting sensitive lands that are either along Gore Creek or part of the forest that extends into the Town. Extension of the streamwalk from the Village Core into Lionshead is desired by the community but objectionable to the adjacent property owners who fear loss of privacy and degraded views. The Comprehensive Open Lands Plan is an action - oriented plan that identifies specific parcels of land that require some kind of action for either protection of sensitive lands, for trail easements and critical trail connections or for future public use, such as a West Vail fire station. Over 350 parcels were evaluated with fifty-one parcels of land on which actions are recommended. Recommended actions range from acquisition by the Town, trade with the U.S. Forest Service, acquiring trail easements, or purchasing development rights. In many cases, several options are available on a specific parcel, allowing flexibility in negotiations for both the landowner and the Town. The objective has been to provide the Town with a menu of potential open space protection techniques at the least cost and management burden to the Town. For example, if an easement can be obtained from the landowner for a trail or to protect a site from development, generally this has been proposed as an alternative to outright acquisition. As a result, the land stays on the tax rolls and the Town is not responsible for general property management and maintenance. These "reduced rate" transactions can be beneficial for landowners since they can provide certain tax and estate planning benefits which meet a landowners financial objectives. A careful tailoring of transactions between landowners and the Town can produce mutually beneficial results. Specific criteria were developed to evaluate these rec- ommended actions in order to determine the areas of highest priority. Generally, actions received a high priority if they met the stated objectives of the Town and its' citizens and were an integral part of the open lands system. Within these fifty one parcels, there are five priority areas made up of a number of recom- mended actions. These priority areas, shown on the Priority Plan in Exhibit 4 are (in order of priority): 1. Protect sensitive natural habitat areas, ripari- an areas, and hazard areas; 2. Extend the Vail Trail to East Vail and add several trailheads to access the trail; 3. Add a new trail on the north side and west- ern half of Town to connect existing trail - heads and neighborhoods; 4. Add three "trailheads" in the core areas to access Vail Mountain trails and inform visi- tors of trail opportunities and provide better access to Gore Creek; 5. Add bike lanes to the north and south frontage roads (the entire length of Town) and add paved shoulders to Vail Valley Drive. For the past 13 years, the Town has had the use of tax funds generated from a Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) for the purchase of open lands and develop- ment and maintenance of parks and trails. This fund can and should now be better leveraged to take advantage of the opportunities of both GOCO ("Great Outdoors Colorado") and other State funding and mutually beneficial negotiations with property own- ers. The Town should now enter into a new cooperative management system with the U.S. Forest Service and Vail Associates Inc. to provide outdoor recreation and open space preservation. With adoption of this plan, there will be added management and mainte- nance requirements for the Town. The maintenance fund from the RETT Tax will need to grow in response to these new management requirements. Additionally, open space protection must go beyond zoning to ensure long-term protection. Options for this longer term protection may include requiring a public vote to change uses on open space lands or the use of a land trust to hold conservation easements on lands. October 16, 2018 - Page 89 of 411 I i f Town of Vail 1 1 1 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan ®INTRODUCTION HOW THE DOCUMENT IS ORGANIZED This document is a result of a comprehensive look at the Town of Vail and its citizens and visitor needs in terms of open space, parks, and recreation issues and public facility needs. The resulting Action Plan, which is described in detail in this document, includes specific recommendations for trails, trail - heads, open lands and protected parcels, and parcels intended for other community needs (such as an additional fire station). The document first describes the identified needs of the Town, the overriding concept or framework for addressing these needs in a comprehensive manner, and then specific prioritized actions to meet these needs. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of this plan is to identify and develop strategies for acquiring or protecting key remain- ing open lands in Vail that would be valuable for recreation, protecting sensitive environmental resources, extending or connecting trails, providing adequate neighborhood open space, and creating a small amount of contingency land for unforeseen needs (e.g. employee housing, public facilities). These "public needs" lands, while included in this Plan, would be purchased from sources other than the RETT fund. This Plan pulls together a variety of activities that the Town has been working on. The Town is in the process of creating an inventory of its land; revising the zoning language for existing open land zones; working on a Land Ownership Adjustment Plan (LOA) with the U.S. Forest Service (USES) to coopera- tively develop a desired ownership pattern and read- ily identifiable common TOV and National Forest System boundary; developing an inventory of envi- ronmentally sensitive open lands with the coopera- tion of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program; and proposing zoning changes for public and private open land parcels. This plan is intended to integrate these efforts and provide a framework for decision making to identify, acquire, and manage open lands in the Town of Vail. This Plan identifies existing open lands in and around Vail and determines the current need for obtaining land for recreation, conservation, trails and public use. The plan also identifies and analyzes spe- cific parcels of land that can meet these needs. Options for acquisition or protection are also exam- ined along with management strategies for these properties. Acquisition can include outright purchase of proper- ty, purchase of easements or development rights, donations, condemnation, etc. Since resources are limited to obtain open lands, priorities have been established for recommended actions. These priori- ties are based on a number of criteria including demonstrated need, potential threat, opportunities with specific land owners, etc. Rough costs are included with the priority actions. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In the early 1900's, miners began settling along the Gore Creek to mine silver, lead, and zinc around Battle Mountain. After the Great Depression sheep herders came to the valley. In the late 1930's, a state highway extended into the Gore Creek Valley under the direction of Highway Engineer Charlie Vail. During WWII, the 10th Mountain Division trained at Camp Hale, 20 miles south of the Gore Valley. After the war, two soldiers that had trained at Camp Hale, Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton, came back to establish a ski resort in Vail. In 1959, a land use permit was issued to an invest- ment group that had been formed for the Vail ski resort. The Vail resort opened on December 15,1962 with 876 acres of skiable terrain making it the third largest ski resort in the United States. In 1966, the Town of Vail was incorporated and in 1969 Lionshead was annexed into the Town. The Vail Town Council has placed a high priority on identifying and acquiring additional open space because of the rapid pace of development and the rel- atively limited number of vacant parcels. The gener- al public has consistently said through surveys and public forums that preserving open space is a major priority for the community. The Town began to develop a fund to protect open space when the Town of Vail implemented a 1% Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) in 1980. Funding for the Real Estate Transfer Tax is summarized in Table 1. Eight parks have been established with a portion of this revenue and include athletic fields, an outdoor amphitheater, ponds, play equipment, paths, and pic- nic facilities. In addition, a Park Superintendent was hired to ensure that these parks are well maintained.

Vail is largely a developed island within the White River National Forest and will increasingly depend on the surround- ing public lands to provide a variety of recreational opportunities. Relevant trends that are outlined briefly in the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments white paper on environmental trends effecting Vail include: • Increase in the number of commuters into Vail as more workers are moving down val- ley • Shift in population base down valley due to rising property values • Increase in number of second home proper- ties within the Town • An aging population • More active use and increased recreational demand on National Forest System lands (down hill skiing, biking, hunting, hiking, etc). • Increase in environmental awareness and concern for environmental quality and pro- tection Another trend effecting the recommendations in the Plan is the popularity of hiking, biking, skating, etc., on linear recreation systems (trails, bikeways, green- ways) as opposed to recreating solely in developed parks. This national trend is evidenced in the Vail Valley through the strong support of new connec- tions in the trail system and the level of use on the current system. Vail is positioned to take advantage of this new focus by improving and extending the existing trail system, as discussed further as part of the recommendations of the plan. II INVENTORY OPEN AND UNDEVELOPED LANDS An inventory of open lands within the Town of Vail was completed in June of 1993. This inven- tory is displayed on the Existing Open Lands Map (See Exhibit 1) which shows lands currently zoned open space and vacant lands not yet developed. Maps provided by the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District (VVCWD) were useful in describing the number and location of developable parcels still available in the Town of Vail. This information was then updated using building permit records. The 1986 Town of Vail Land Use 12% of the land within the Town of Vail was subdivided and undeveloped and 23% was unplated and undevel- oped, resulting in a total of 35%, or 1,179 acres not devel- oped. Parks and zoned open space accounted for another 17%, (or 555 acres) of land. Since 1986, zoned open space has increased to 952 acres and the acres of undeveloped buildable lots has significantly decreased. Projections from VVCWD indicate that Vail is 90% built out and that approx- imately 950 more dwelling units could be developed. This includes additional guest accommodations, multi -family units, duplexes, and single family units. As of October 1993, there are approximately 270 undeveloped, buildable lots remaining in the Town of Vail. Plan indicated that open space for recreation and agriculture. However, this district does allow for a wide variety of uses (e.g., churches, schools, single family dwellings) that are not compatible with an open lands zone district. In addition, agriculture is no longer a viable land use in Vail. The Greenbelt and Natural Open Space (GNOS) District consists of 326 acres and is the most restric- tive open space zone district. Development in GNOS areas is essentially prohibited except for pedestrian and bicycle paths and golf courses as a conditional use. The Town of Vail owns a significant amount of the zoned open lands within the Town: 62% of GNOS and 75% of AOS lands (Table 2 - Ownership of Zoned Open Lands in Vail). Most of the privately owned lands zoned GNOS and AOS are on very steep slopes or have other envi- ronmental constraints (e.g., hazard area, flood- plain, wetland).

Phase One involved changing the zoning language in the GNOS and AOS zone dis- tricts. These changes reflect recommendations from the 1991 Development Code Revision Report and addi- tional changes that the Planning and Environmental Commission and TOV staff have identified. Phase Two of this project involved making zoning changes to specific parcels of land. The TOV staff has proposed changes to the names, purpose statements, allowed uses, and conditional uses for both the AOS and GNOS districts. The pro- posed changes are designed to create a pure "Natural October 16, 2018 - Page 91 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan CORE AREA ENLARGEMENT EXISTING OPEN LANDS Comprehensive Open Lands Plan TOWN OF VAL VAN.,COLORADO 1.6,j 71:1Z7 Exhibit 1 Existing Open Lands October 16, 2018 - Page 92 of 411 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Town of Vail 1 1 1 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan PARK FACLI1ES PARKS a c Op.n Grass Fields 1 T.

Changes are recommended to the permitted and conditional uses in these districts to ensure consistency with their purpose statements. At the time of this report, the proposed zoning changes were being reviewed by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. Work has begun on Phase Two which involves mak- ing zoning changes to specific parcels. Site visits have been made to all AOS, GNOS and PUD (Public Use) zoned parcels and specific recommendations have been made for classifying each parcel. Further action to change parcel zoning will occur after changes in the zoning language have been approved. OUTDOOR RECREATION INVENTORY An inventory was completed in June of 1993 of the current TOV parks. This survey included a review of recognized parks, open spaces, pedestrian and bike trails, and National Forest System trailheads. The inventory includes park size, type of play equipment, num- ber of trails and walkways through the site, open fields, immediate surroundings, and proximity to other recreation areas, as well as a number of other features. In the Town of Vail there are approximately 313 acres of des- ignated parks, not including the Town of Vail public golf course. The Vail Recreation District and the Eagle Valley School District offer a broad range of pro- grams, services and facilities, many of which take place on these park lands. Other public areas which are not considered formal parks but provide usable open space include: the Nature Center which provides interpre- tive nature trails and presenta- tions; the Vail Library which has stream access and well used open space; and the publicly owned portions of the Gore Creek stream tract which provides access to Gore Creek for fisherman and other recreational activities. As a resort community, Vail also has many private recreational facilities including tennis courts, swim- ming pools and fitness centers. Although many of these facilities are primarily for visitor use, they are often open to the general public. Public recreation facilities in other communities in the Valley, such as Eagle -Vail, Avon, Minturn and Edwards, are also available to Vail residents. Seventeen parks within the Town were inventoried in detail(See Table 3.). This inventory indicates that seven of the parks are open green spaces in an other- wise developed area, ten have at least one facility (i.e. a picnic table, tennis court), ten are next to a recog- nized bike path, seven have playground equipment, and seven are within a short walking distance of the Village area. Two of these parks (Pirate Ship Park and the Lionshead Tot Lot) are on land owned by Vail Associates. Vail is surrounded by the White River National Forest, which provides opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking directly acces- sible from the Town. White River National Forest is approximately 1.9 million acres with over 891,493 acres of protected wilderness areas. In addition, Vail Mountain located to the south of Town on NFS prop- erty, provides over 3,800 skiable acres in the winter and a network of hiking and cycling trails in the summer. Name oiTrail Trail Connects Approx. Length TRAILS INVENTORY Vail completed a Recreation Trails Master Plan in 1988 that identified trail users and their needs, and included deficiencies with the current trails sys- tem. A major recommendation in this plan was to obtain additional lands to interconnect existing trails and to create new trails. Eighteen existing trails were inventoried for their trail length, what the trail con- nects, type of trail, surfacing, description of signs, and general condition (See Table 4). Not included in this survey is the Vail Pass recreation trail. This is a paved trail, primarily used for cycling that extends from East Vail over Vail Pass and down to Frisco and Breckenridge.

A major hurdle to this plan has been creating a trail through Dowd Junction. In 1992, the Town secured partial funding from the Colorado Department of Transportation and using budgeted funds, the Town of Vail proposes to build a trail through Dowd Junction and across the Eagle River to connect to Highway 6&24 west of the Minturn interchange. Both V.A. and the U.S.F.S. provide an extensive network of trails (Table 5). Together, there are 122 miles of trails provided by V.A. and the U.S.F.S that are accessible from Vail. Vail Associates is in the process of prepar- ing a mountain bike master plan for Vail Mountain. ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LAND own staff initially identified 50 vacant parcels 1 throughout Vail that have significant environ- mental constraints for development. These con- straints range from snow avalanche, rock fall, or debris flow hazards to floodplain and wetland condi- tions. Forty eight of these parcels are zoned Greenbelt Natural Open Space or Agricultural Open Space. The Town has prepared hazard maps which indicate these conditions on aerial photographs. In addition, riparian areas and sensitive natural habitat have been identified and mapped. Both riparian areas and sen- sitive natural habitat were identified in the summer of 1993 by biologists working for Colorado State University and the Colorado Natural Heritage Program. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program used infrared aerial photographs and field surveys to iden- tify sensitive natural areas that have national, region- al or local significance. These areas have been com- bined with the hazard maps, resulting in a composite Hazards and Sensitive Areas Map ( Exhibit 2). The Colorado Natural Heritage Program is a non -reg- ulatory, technical support organization affiliated with the Nature Conservancy. In addition to conducting biological surveys it provides a national database of endangered and threatened species which all Federal land management agencies rely on. NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS PRIORI11ES FOR RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE everal public and Open Lands Committee meet- ings were held in order to assess current recre- ation and open space needs and trends in Vail. In addition to these public meetings, an analysis was conducted that studied past planning documents and surveys and their recommendations for recreation and open space. Both the public meetings for the plan and an analysis of previous plans (Table 6) have indicated that the priorities are to: 1. Preserve open space 2. Improve the pedestrian and bike system 3. Provide additional recreation facilities PRESERVE OPEN SPACE There was strong public consensus that the num- ber one priority for open space acquisition is to protect natural open space and preserve the "moun- tain experience". People felt that acquiring or pro- tecting natural open space was critical in maintaining the natural character of the Vail Valley. The public felt that protecting the natural open character of the area was more important than developing active out- door recreational opportunities and was needed to protect water quality and natural habitat. Over half of the top 20 priorities from the first public meeting relate directly to the issue.of protecting natural open space IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE SYSTEM The second priority includes improving the pedes- trian and bike path system. Several previous plans and studies concluded that there is a need to improve and extend the pedestrian path system in order to access and connect green spaces throughout the core area. This has resulted in the Streetscape Master Plan, Vail Village Master Plan, and Master Transportation Plan which are in the process of being implemented.

The Vail Land Use Plan states that, "The stream tract extends from Ford Park in the East to Forest Road in the West and consists of a series of dedicated parcels as development progressed within the Town. The area serves as an invaluable environmental and aes- thetic component to the Village Core. The primary uses in this area are linear open space and recreation- al paths." The Vail Recreation Trails Master Plan con- firms this by summarizing that "the best opportunity for a new trail is along Gore Creek from the Lionshead base to Ford Park." Citizens did express concern that the stream walk be developed in a sensi- tive manner so that the natural beauty of the corridor is preserved, that impacts to adjacent uses and prop- erties are minimized and that the use of the environ- mentally oriented trail be restricted to pedestrians only. On November 9, 1993 the pros and cons of the pro- posed streamwalk were discussed at a Vail Town Council meeting. It was decided by the Town Council at that meeting, that instead of a streamwalk, the Town would identify stream access areas along Gore Creek and inform the public of these access areas. Also making improvements to West Meadow Drive to separate pedestrians from cyclists and cars was identified as a priority. Separation of uses on the trail systems is an impor- tant objective in many of these same plans. The Vail Recreation Trails Master Plan suggests the implemen- tation of a three level trails plan that would separate and extend trail routes into commuter cycling routes, multiple use trails, and pedestrian only trails. This concept is appropriate for Vail's physical linearity and provides a logical hierarchy for the circulation system. Frequently mentioned recommendations for improvements to the bike trail system include adding bike lanes on the frontage roads throughout the entire Town, extending the bike path system through Dowd Junction and completing critical links to the trail system through the most developed parts of Town and to NFS trailheads. Augmenting the Town's and V.A.'s existing sign pro- gram for all of the trails and trailheads was viewed as a critical component to the system. Specifically, additional signs or kiosks are needed to direct people to USFS and Vail Associates trails. These kiosks would identify alternatives to hiking in wilderness areas that are being impacted by heavy use. Improved signs are also needed in East Vail to indi- cate recreational trails along Town roads. Signs should be reviewed where multi -modal conflicts are common. Additional pocket parks or natural areas were seen as needed for both the west and east ends of Town. These could also serve as "rest stops" along the interconnected trail system surrounding the Town. o E Background Documents 2 • Y c E ! 2 Dwelop Additional Sidewalks, Pedestrian Only Walkways/Accessible Groon Space Areas Connect Streemwalk to Ogler Walkways and Pocket Parks/Enhance the Total Podestrlan Network Continuous Streamwalk Along Gore Creek Encourage Stream Access Add Stroamwalk Along Mill Creek Interconnect Town and Mountain Trails Improve Tr.Jlheads/Access to U.S.F.& Lends -Take Pressure Olt ltallheadsMAIdemess g al - E S ° s • ■— Conned Existing Bike Paths/Add New Bk.

This lack of facilities is supported by an analysis of the National Recreation and Park Standards. While an overall analysis shows that the Town of Vail far exceeds national standards, there are some access deficiencies in the system due to Vail's lineari- ty and Interstate 70 splitting the valley. The recom- mended solution is to improve, complete, and extend the bike and pedestrian trail system. Additionally, West Vail, on the north side of the Interstate, could utilize an additional small "pocket park" to meet this need. In East Vail, the Water Tank site could pro- vide an additional picnic area in the S.E. corner of Town as well as a new summer/fall trailhead. The third priority also includes supporting recre- ational activities on a regional scale, including a swimming pool, recreation center, and additional athletic fields. Many of these items could be accom- modated at the Berry Creek property in Edwards, at the new softball complex in Eagle, and at the pro- posed recreation center in Avon. U.S. FOREST SERVICE, VAIL ASSOCIATES, AND VAIL RECREATION DISTRICT INTERESTS S7cific discussions with the U.S. Forest Service, il Associates and the Vail Recreation District support the general concepts of this plan. The U.S. Forest Service is interested in reducing recreational impacts on the trails that lead into the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area on the north side of Town, which can be accomplished by improving the trail system and trailhead parking in and around the Town. This would include improved bike access to the existing trailheads with bike parking and other improvements made to the trailheads. No new trails in or near the Wilderness Area are favored by the U.S. Forest Service. The U.S. Forest Service is also concerned that public access to National Forest System lands continue at existing trailhead locations. There are several right-of-way issues that need to be addressed to guarantee continued public access. Vail Associates is also interested in an improved trail system and making better connections between the Town and Vail Mountain by improving both trails and signs. PUBLIC FACILITIES/ LAND RESERVE One of the objectives of the Comprehensive Open Lands planning process is to identify, to the extent possible, future public needs (or needs not cur- rently being met) that will require land. The 1986 Vail Land Use Plan discusses this issue in detail. The intent here is to update that work and make recom- mendations for specific parcels of land that may be desired for public use. As previously mentioned, funding for land reserve parcels acquired for public use would not come from RETT funds. In order to update information regarding community needs, interviews were conducted with representatives from the Town of Vail Public Works Department, Community Development, Fire Department, Police Department, Eagle Valley Schools, the Vail Housing Authority, and the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Water and Sanitation District. The following issues and needs resulted from these interviews: 1. Vail Public Works Department The Public Works Department will need to expand their current facility located on the north side of Interstate 70. Currently, the Vail Associates' owned parcel of land imme- diately west of their existing facility is leased as a snow storage area and is the logical place for expansion. Additionally, a West Vail snow plow and cinder storage site has long been on their needs list. 2. Vail Fire Department Over 10 years ago, the Vail Fire Department identified a need for a West Vail Fire Station. Response times from their main facility in the Village to West Vail are inadequate and con- tinued growth has only exacerbated this problem. Because this is a health/ safety issue, finding an acceptable site has received a high priority in the development of recom- mendations for the Public Facilities/ Land Reserve portion of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. 3. Vail Police Department The Police Department is in the process of expanding their current facility. The only need they have that is not covered in this expansion is an outdoor shooting range for recertification of officers and for "maneu- vers" practice. However, this need may be accommodated at a proposed shooting range in Wolcott. 4. Eagle Valley School District The only Eagle Valley School facility in the Town of Vail is the Red Sandstone School. The District envisions utilizing this facility for the foreseeable future. They would like more play areas near the school but realize that the topography is very constraining. 5. Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Water and Sanitation District The Sanitation District's needs mainly involve easements through several properties for either additional water tanks or new diversion structures. These needs have been discussed in this Plan. The District intends to construct a new intake and diversion sys- tem upstream from the runaway truck ramp on Interstate 70 to ensure a clean water sup- ply. Although, the Town does not need to take any direct action, it does need to be aware of these needs and work with the District to develop a utility easement. 6. Vail Housing Authority/Community Development Department The Vail Housing Authority is interested in "employee" housing projects on the Mountain Bell Site and at Vail Commons. The Housing Authority believes that any higher density project, if located within the Town, should be in close proximity to either the core area or the West Vail commercial area or have good transportation access. October 16, 2018 - Page 97 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan ®CONCEPT PLAN The Concept Plan provides the framework from which specific actions are recommended in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The Concept Plan describes in general terms key protection areas, key activity areas, and critical connections between them. The recurring theme of preservation of natural open space and trail connections is diagrammed in a con- ceptual format (Exhibit 3). ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE LANDS The National Forest System lands surrounding the Town (both forested and open) are a significant amenity for the Town as a recreational, environmen- tal, and visual resource. Portions of the natural sys- tems extend into Town, shown in green stripes on the diagram and are important to protect. In many cases, these lands contain steep slopes or have high hazard potential, such as for snow avalanches and rockfalls. These lands should not be developed. The Gore Creek Corridor is the other significant nat- ural resource enjoyed by the Town. Running through the middle of Town, Gore Creek is an impor- tant wildlife corridor, riparian and wetland resource, and recreation amenity. Protection of the Creek is extremely important as well as allowing public access to the stream corridor. ACTIVITY CENTERS AND CONNECTIONS The other component to the diagram describes a series of "activity centers" shown as asterisks and connections indicated by different types of lines. These centers are activity areas where people are like- ly to gather or choose as a destination. Included in these centers are retail areas such as the Vail Village Core, Lionshead, and the West Vail commercial areas; bus stops; and parks and open spaces such as Katsos Ranch, Ford Park, Pirate Ship Park, and Bighorn Park. The connections then tie all of these centers together through a series of bicycle and pedestrian trails that strive to separate uses where - ever possible and provide a high quality recreation and travel experience. Activity areas could include interpretive/informational centers, sitting areas, or even play equipment. The linking together of activity centers through the hierarchy of trails provides residents and visitors with multiple non -vehicular options for reaching des- tinations, for recreation, enjoyment of the natural environment or commuting purposes. These connec- tions include bike lanes on the frontage road, an improved bike path system, walking paths adjacent to the bike path, stream access, and a new south and north trail system that almost entirely encircles the Town. ®ACTION PLAN The Action Plan is intended to be a framework for obtaining or protecting open lands as well as cre- ating trail linkages in a logical and comprehensive manner. Parcels included in the plan were selected because they serve to meet the overall needs and vision for protecting or acquiring open lands,as well as lands for public use, trails and parks. The plan illustrates the intended use for each "Action Parcel" including public facility (e.g. fire station), open space (including trails), or park. It also illustrates the lands that will either be acquired from or traded to the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan (LOA) (described in more detail in Appendix 1) . In conjunction with the Action Plan, a series of Tables describe the potential protection techniques, manage- ment system and open space or public objective for each parcel (see Tables 8 and 9). PROTECTION TECHNIQUES There are a variety of techniques available to pro- tect land. These techniques vary in both cost and result. Techniques have been recommended for each action parcel. A description of these techniques fol- lows: TOV Acquire -Fee The traditional method of land acquisition is to acquire the full fee interest at fair market value. The property could be acquired through a cash purchase or over time according to a term or installment pur- chase. If a public entity acquires land with terms, it can pay interest, which is tax exempt, and thereby lower the purchase price of the property. In addition, there are many ways to structure a term or install- ment purchase which meet landowner estate or tax objectives, which can extend the term of purchase. This capability to flexibly structure a fee acquisition can meet the Town's objectives of creatively leverag- ing its limited resources. It can also meet the landowners financial and tax planning objectives, resulting in effectively lowering land costs to the TOV. The acquisition of the full fee interest by the TOV will remove the land from the tax rolls and require that the TOV provide for the upkeep, mainte- nance and security of the property. TOV Acquire - Tax Lien For those properties where owners are delinquent in paying property taxes the Town has the option of acquiring the tax certificates of paying the back taxes to acquire the property. In most instances, the acqui- sition of property by acquiring the tax certificate results in substantial savings over the price previous owners have paid for the property. In Vail, most of these properties are steep or inaccessible (with limit- ed development capability) which has limited the owners ability to develop or sell. This is a very cost effective way for the Town to acquire property and ensure that it is not built upon at a later date. U.S. Forest Service Acquire - Fee According to the Land Ownership Adjustment (LOA) Plan developed by the Town and the U.S. Forest Service, a number of properties will change hands in order to create the common boundary both desire. The U.S. Forest Service will acquire the fee to these lands generally through a land trade since acquisition dollars are scarce. Land Trade In order for the Town and the U.S. Forest Service to develop the common boundary defined by the LOA plan, they will need to trade a number of properties. Land trades are voluntarily entered into and can be made when properties appraised at or near the same value are traded between jurisdictions. While land trades are a desirable way to change ownerships, they generally take from two to five years to con- clude and may involve a number of complicated appraisal issues.

For instance, water and mineral rights allow the owner to use those water and mineral resources attached to the land and identified in a property's deed. The value of development rights is based on the right to devel- op a certain number of units on a property estab- lished by a combination of zoning and market condi- tions. Protection of a property can be accomplished by acquiring all or a portion of the development rights while the landowner retains the open land or those development rights specified to remain with the land. The value of the development rights is determined by an appraisal which values the land in two ways. First the land is appraised at its fair mar- ket value and second, it is appraised with the devel- opment rights removed. The value of the develop- ment rights is the difference between the fair market value and the "restricted" value. The Town can either purchase the development rights or if the owner is willing, acquire them by gift with the landowner obtaining the tax benefits of a charitable donation. These tax benefits relate to income and estate taxes and may well influence prop- erty taxes. The donation of development rights can be made to either the Town or to a qualified nonprof- it land trust such as the Nature Conservancy or Colorado Open Lands. The benefit of the develop- ment rights transfer is that it is a flexible instrument which can be tailored to the desires of the landowner and the Town. The benefit to the Town of acquiring the development rights is that they cost less than full fee acquisition and also that the land stays on the tax rolls and continues to be managed by the landowner. A conservation easement is another term which is often applied to the acquisition or donation of devel- opment rights. The conservation easement is a legal restriction on a property which is designed to protect certain natural and scenic qualities of the land, while at the same time allowing the property owner to retain ownership and voting rights in a homeowners association. Easements As used in this plan, easements generally refer to an agreement for use of a property for certain uses which the land owner either donates or sells to the Town. For example, a trail easement is an agreement to permit the Town to utilize a certain width (right- of-way) for the construction of a pedestrian or bike trail. The Town would also assume the responsibility for maintenance, safety, and liability. The value of the easement is determined by an appraisal of the property with and without the easement, much as the valuation of development rights is determined. Public Use Agreement As used in this plan, a public use agreement is a con- tract negotiated between the Town and the property owner in lieu of obtaining easements to allow public access. A public use agreement would involve a con- tract that would enable the Town to make improve- ments to private property (i.e. a trail). This agree- ment could allow the private property owner to relo- cate improvements, at the owners expense, to a mutually agreeable location on the property. Maintenance of any facilities would be negotiated as a part of the agreement. Donation The Town can obtain land or development rights through donation. The benefit to the landowner may be that the donation of a highly appreciated property to the Town can create significant tax benefits for the landowner. These benefits relate to income and estate taxes primarily. Many communities and land trusts acquire land and development rights through gifts which are structured to provide landowners with tax benefits. Bargain Sale A bargain sale is a combination gift and sale of land or development rights. The bargain sale works when a landowner is charitably inclined, but cannot afford to make a contribution of the entire value of a proper- ty. In this case, the landowner may sell the property to the Town at less than fair market value, say 50% of the value, and gift the remaining 50% of value to the Town. As a result, the landowner receives the benefit of the cash sale plus the charitable donation of the balance of the value. Bargain sales can be advanta- geous where the landowner is charitably inclined and where there are tax or estate issues which make the transaction favorable. Condemnation Condemnation can be utilized by government when a landowner refuses to sell a parcel of property to a government which needs the land to meet estab- lished public objectives, such as the creation of a road, park, or transit line. The governmental entity must pay the landowner fair market value for the property which is determined by an appraisal process. Condemnation or the threat of condemna- tion can provide a landowner with certain tax bene- fits which a normal real estate transaction would not enjoy. Condemnation is used only in very limited circumstances when a landowner is unwilling to negotiate. PRIORITIES FOR ACTION Evaluation criteria used to prioritize actions toward achieving the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan were derived from input from the public, the Open Lands Steering Committee, previous planning studies and analysis, interviews with the U.S. Forest Service, the Water and Sanitation District, Fire, Public Works, and Police Departments and Vail Associates. A two-tiered evaluation process was conducted that looked first at whether the action/ parcel meets the needs of the Town, its' citizens, visitors, and achieves the goals of the plan. The second level criteria include the availability of the land or the pressures for development of the parcel of land. Lands intend- ed for future public use were also prioritized in terms of public need and health and safety issues, but are separated from the natural and recreation systems because RETT funds will not be used for land reserve acquisitions. The Level One Evaluation (Meeting Needs) looked at four areas of community need relating to the nat- ural resource system, the recreation system, trails system, and reserving lands for future civic/public uses. Natural Resource Areas (All parcels meeting these criteria are a high priority) • Riparian areas • Sensitive natural areas • Hazard areas Recreation/ Parks • Potential/ need for pocket park/ nature area • Recreational opportunity for East and West Vail • Recreational opportunity for community October 16, 2018 - Page 100 of 411 Town of Vail r r r r r f r r r r r Comprehensive Open Lands Plan Trails • Interconnection with VA and USFS trails • Separation of trail uses (bikes, pedestrians, etc) • Alleviate pressure on wilderness area • Complete critical connections on existing sys- tem Civic/ Public Use • Public health/ safety • Meet key public objective Level Two Evaluation - (Availability) • Threat of development or irreversible dam- age • Opportunities to leverage other funds • . Cost • Unusual opportunity with motivated seller • Opportunity for trade with U.S.F.S. • Low Management requirements on Town • Low Liability to Town ACTION PARCELS Priority Natural System 1, 6, 29- 32, 36, 38, 40-47,51 1 South Trail 23-25, 38, 41, 42, 44-47, 51 2 North Trail 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 26 3 Stream Access 20, 21, 22, Chapel 4 Bike Lane 9,10 5 Table 7 Priority Actions Table 7 summarizes how the major concepts and their associated parcels met the above stated criteria. Each open lands parcel was evaluated against both the level 1 and 2 criteria. It is important to note that a systems approach was used to evaluate and rank actions. This approach, rather than an incremental look at each individual parcel out of context with the other parcels or concept plan, resulted in groups of actions or solutions that will meet the needs and objectives described earlier in this report in order to create an open lands system. There are three priority actions discussed in this plan which include: High Priority: Meets level one and two criteria and are discussed in detail in the next section. Medium Priority: Meets level 1 criteria but there is no threat of loss due to develop ment. Low Priority: Open lands that do not directly meet high priority needs and are not under threat of development. RESULTING TOP FIVE PRIORITIES The highest priority described at each public meet - ing related to the protection of Natural System Lands. These lands have received the highest rank- ing due to their sensitivity either as habitat, hazard areas, or riparian vegetation. Thus, the Natural System Parcels are priority 1. Following this, there are three trail system actions that stand out in the priority analysis. These include, in order of priority: the South Trail (Vail Trail exten- sion and associated trailheads); development of a North Trail; improving stream access; and bike lanes on the frontage roads and shoulders on Vail Valley Drive. These five priority areas have been analyzed with respect to relative expense, projected income from RETT funding, and a proposed phased approach to implementing these actions. (Table 10 - Six Year Plan). The South Trail received priority 2 primarily because it simultaneously meets several needs including; more recreational opportunities in and near the core, separation of uses on the trail system (specifically separating pedestrians and bicyclist on the bike path to and through Katsos Ranch, and provides opportu- nities for a pocket park/ nature area at one of the "trailheads" in East Vail . Additionally, the U.S. Forest Service believes that the South Trail will help reduce pressure on the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area by providing an alternative, high quality alpine trail system in close proximity to the Town. The North Trail, priority 3, can meet the needs of the West Vail community through trailhead/ nature areas much like the South Trail will for East Vail. While this trail does not directly connect to the core , it will provide additional recreation opportunities for a significant number of people who reside on the north side of the Interstate. Stream access is still a priority, even though a formal trail is not proposed and has received a priority 4. Improving the bike system throughout Town received priority 5 and will result in much better sep- aration of recreational uses on the entire trail system. Additionally, community or public use parcels/ actions were analyzed separately and prioritized according to the criteria mentioned above. This analysis resulted in the West Vail Fire Station as the highest priority for public use, and the easements needed for the Vail Valley Water and Sanitation District to ensure clean water for the Town of Vail. Another high priority action is acquisition of the snow dump parcel west of the Public Works shops. All other public use actions fall below these two pri- orities. Any actions related to these public use items will not be funded through RETT funds which are strictly allocated to open space and recreation related activities.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TOWN - OWNED PARCELS There are several parcels of land currently in Town ownership that have been included in this study because they have the potential to meet some of the needs identified as part of this plan. These parcels include: Vail Commons, North Frontage Road West Employee housing is a highly appropriate use for this site, along with commercial and public use facil- ities, as needed. This use will help meet needs iden- tified by the Vail Housing Authority. Because this is not an "open space or parks" use, RETT funds will not be used to develop this land. 274 Beaver Dam Road This lot is a buildable home site zoned primary/sec- ondary. With the sale of this property, the Town could use the proceeds toward the open lands pro- gram identified in this plan (combine with RETT funds to further achieve the open space goals). A title check must occur to ensure that protective covenants do not preclude development on the site. 2497, 2485, 2477, and 2487 Garmish Drive These four lots are located adjacent to the Town Manager's house in West Vail. There is the potential for a small pocket park associated with employee housing on this property which would help meet the park needs of this neighborhood and help address some of the community's housing needs. A trailhead accessing the North Trail is also possible at this loca- tion. Donovan Park The Town of Vail has an approved Master Plan for Donovan Park that includes a number of active recre- ation program elements. Comments from the public during the course of this project suggest that the Town should revisit that Master Plan to ensure that the program developed in1985 is relevant to today's needs. Tract A, Vail Village 13th Filing Recently, a par 3 golf course has been proposed for the site. The site has approximately .9 acres of wet- lands on the site. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has not approved a Section 404 permit for this pro- posal. If the VRD does not receive a favorable vote of the people by December 1, 1994 and the receive a section 404 permit by December 1,1995, it is this plans recommendation that the property remain as natural open space because of the wetlands on the site. Unplated Mountain Bell Site Approximately half of this property(7.71 acres) is intended for affordable housing and the remainder of the site will remain in open space. Berry Creek, Edwards This property is a logical location for some of the recreational needs identified in both this study and the Eagle County and Avon recreation studies. The joint use of this property to meet the needs of a wider population (including Vail residents) is an appropri- ate and cost effective way to meet recreation needs. Housing is also an appropriate use on this site. TOV Parcel adjacent to Vail Chapel The north bank of the Gore Creek adjacent to the Vail Chapel provides an excellent stream access area and has been identified as a stream access area. Also, this area is desirable for an informal take-out location for kayakers. An additional bench or picnic table would be desirable at this location. TRAILS AND TRAILHEADS lmprovements and additions to the trail system in and around Vail are an integral part of the Open Lands Plan. There are numerous opportunities for interpretive education along these trails. The pro- posed trail system is somewhat similar to trail sys- tems found in the Alps where interconnected trail allow hikers to move around and to mountain vil- lages.

A feasibility analysis should be done to make a final determina- tion where trail easements are needed. An interpretive program could be developed in con- junction with Vail Associates, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Vail Recreation District to meet a variety of goals shared by the Town and these other entities. Additionally, a comprehensive sign program should be designed and implemented to facilitate access to, and travel on, the trail system. Close coordination with the USFS and VA will be critical in creating this trail system. Trails on NFS lands will require design review by the U.S. Forest Service and compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Trail uses will also be carefully reviewed by the Town and the U.S. Forest Service. The South Trail in East Vail should only be a summer hiking trail. However, the North Trail could be used for cross country skiing in the winter. The North Trail and trails connecting V.A. trails could also provide single track cycling opportunities in the summer. In this plan, trailheads are intended to go beyond the traditional use of trailheads. Trailheads can be a combination of a place to access a trail system and a pocket park or nature area. This plan is intended to augment the Vail Transportation Plan and Vail Recreation Plan. Specific recommendations for improvements to the existing system and new addi- tions are described below: SOUTH TRAIL EXTEND VAIL TRAIL TO EAST VAIL There is the potential to extend the Vail Trail to East Vail and Gore Creek Campground to provide an alternative hiking experience. LIONSHEAD TRAILHEAD - NEW A trail information "kiosk" with trail maps and signs within the Lionshead core area is recommended to serve as a "Village trail head". VAIL VILLAGE TRAILHEAD - NEW A trail information "kiosk" with trail maps and signs within the Town core area is recommended. GOLDEN PEAK TRAILHEAD - NEW Provide signs, bike racks, and trail extension(s) to the existing bike path and/or parking at Golden Peak to link the Vail Trail to the Village. Formal connections are also needed between the Golden Peak Trailhead and Pirate Ship Park and the pedestrian bridge accessing Ford Park. MATTERHORN TRAILHEAD - NEW Signs and enforcement by the Town to limit on -street parking is recommended. Trail work should be done to minimize erosion currently taking place. GOLF CLUBHOUSE TRAILHEAD - NEW Provide signs and bike racks at the mid -point of the Vail Trail (near the golf clubhouse). The first 1/4 mile of the trail should be re-routed to eliminate the excessively steep portion of the trail. BIGHORN/ GORE CREEK TRAILHEAD - NEW Locate a trailhead on Willow Way in the Bighorn Subdivision on Town of Vail owned land to access the proposed Vail Trail extension. Provide a small amount of off street parking, signs, and a bike rack. BIGHORN PARK TRAILHEAD - NEW Locate a trailhead south of Bighorn Park to access the proposed South Trail extension. Provide off-street parking, bike racks and signs. WATER TANK TRAILHEAD - NEW Provide a bike and pedestrian access trailhead with signs and bike racks to connect to the proposed East Vail extension and the Gore Creek Campground trail - head. This would be a summer/fall trail only because of the avalanche concerns in this area. WESTIN TRAILHEAD-NEW There is currently a ski trail (catwalk) which allows people to ski to the Westin from the front face of the mountain. In the summer this catwalk could be used as a hiking trail to access V.A.'s network of trails. GORE CREEK ACCESS AREAS PARCELS 20, 21, 22 AND VAIL CHAPEL Identify these parcels as stream access areas with signs. The purpose of these access areas is to allow public access to the Gore Creek. Parcel 20 will require some mitigation to prevent further deterioration of vegetation and soils from the use of "social" trails on the site. Mitigation solu- tions will have to be discussed with Vail Associates and the neighborhood. The Chapel access would provide a convenient take-out area for kayakers. The stream tract adjacent to the Chapel is owned by the Town and is not identi- fied as an action parcel. Another recommenda- tion is that a map be created to identify public areas along Gore Creek and discuss the rules of a Gold Medal stream MILL CREEK CONNECTION Extend pedestrian path adjacent to Mill Creek in Ted Kindell pocket park to the south to connect with existing paved trail. (Christiania Lodge will provide as part of redevelopment) NORTH TRAIL UPPER RIDGE CONNECTOR TRAIL Potential to develop a trail along the north side of Town to link existing trailheads and provide a south - facing trail that will open up in the early spring. This trail should not be located near the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area in order to avoid further impacts there. DAVOS TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Potential to relocate trailhead onto Trappers Run if property or easements are obtained. If not relocated, bike racks and signs/ enforcement by the Town to limit on -street parking are recommended. BUFFEHR CREEK TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Signs and enforcement by the Town to limit on -street parking is recommended. Bike racks and safe bike access to the trailhead are also recommended. The U.S. Forest Service believes that they currently do not own the parking area and are concerned that public access to this area be permanently maintained. PINEY LAKE TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Expand use of Piney Lake trailhead to year-round (currently functions as a winter trailhead) and relo- cate to Parcel 15. At the new location, provide off- street parking and a trail connection up the drainage to link to the Piney Lake Road. Also provide signs and bike racks.

MIDDLE CREEK TRAILHEAD - NEW This lower trailhead, just west of Spraddle Creek, will access trails that connect to Piney Lake and the new Tenth Mountain Trail Association huts via an off road bike path, which would greatly add to the mountain biking opportunities in this area. Include at this trailhead off-street parking, signs and bike racks. BOOTH LAKE TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Signs and enforcement by the Town to limit on -street parking are recommended. Trail is heavily over- used. Bike racks and safe bike access to the trailhead are also recommended. PITKIN LAKE TRAILHEAD - EXISTING At existing location, bike racks and signs/ enforce- ment by the Town to limit on -street parking are rec- ommended. There is the potential to provide an improved trailhead with off-street parking on Parcel 33 if easements are obtained. BIGHORN CREEK TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Small, off-street parking area recommended in flat area near existing trailhead. Design solutions for parking should be reviewed by the neighborhood. Bike racks and signs/ enforcement by the Town to limit on -street parking at the cul-de-sac is also recom- mended. GORE LAKE TRAILHEAD - EXISTING Safety improvements for trailhead access and park- ing and installation of bike racks are recommended. With possible trade of parcel 51 to the Town from the U.S. Forest Service, development and management issues need to be clarified. Town development of the trailhead with U.S.F.S maintenance/ management is recommended. BIKE SYSTEM FRONTAGE ROAD BIKE LANES Provide striped and signed bike lanes on both sides of the frontage roads the entire length of the valley. Key segments of the bike path which are already funded include: Conoco Station to Dowd Junction and Red Sandstone School to Spraddle Creek subdi- vision PAVED SHOULDERS ON VAIL VALLEY DRIVE TO SUNBURST DRIVE Pave shoulders on Vail Valley Drive for a safer recre- ation path east of the core area. The right of way (ROW) is too narrow for complete bike lanes on either side, but paved shoulders will make the recre- ation path significantly safer and easier to use for both drivers and cyclists/ skaters/ pedestrians. BIKE PATH EXTENSION FROM WEST VAIL INTERCHANGE TO SAFEWAY Complete separated bike path along North Frontage Road by linking the West Vail Interchange with the west end of the bike path near Safeway. ®LAND MANAGEMENT Two key concepts underlie the proposed manage- ment system for Vail's open lands. First, the Town should establish a cooperative management system with both the U.S. Forest Service and Vail Associates. The need for these new management partnerships stems from the fact that a large portion of the lands which can provide recreational and open space benefit to the Town, lie outside the Town boundaries. Defining a management approach which clearly identifies responsibilities is in the inter- ests of all parties. Second, with the addition of new open space lands and trails called for in this plan, the Town needs to develop a management capability to provide appropriate stewardship and maintenance to these properties. COOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM U.S. Forest Service This plan proposes a number of improvements to National Forest System lands to improve condi- tions in the National Forest System and provide Vail visitors and residents with greater recreational opportunities. The trailhead and trail improvements proposed in this plan need to be constructed and maintained. The Town and the U.S. Forest Service should also discuss the desirability of toilets at heavi- ly used trailheads. Since these improvements will primarily benefit the Town it is important to develop a realistic sharing of the construction and mainte- nance costs. It is recommended that a cooperative approach be taken to development of trailheads, trails, signs. and maintenance of trail systems. All trail systems that are proposed on NFS lands must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act which will require the Town and the U.S.F.S. to coop- erate in the preparation of environmental analysis for the trail system. Vail Associates Trails Plan This plan proposes that a joint system of trailheads and signs be developed for access to Vail Mountain. a. Trails and trailheads on Vail Mountain to be constructed by VA with possible financial participation by the Town and maintained and managed by Vail Associates with possi- ble financial participation from the Town. b) Vail Associates and the Town should cooper- ate on providing village trailheads and infor- mational kiosks to improve trail connections between the Town and the Vail Associates permit area. TOWN OF VAIL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT One of the goals of this plan is to accomplish the open space objectives of the TOV in a cost effective manner which tailors the protection technique to the Town's open space objectives. In a number of instances this means that instead of acquiring lands the Town may pursue alternative techniques which keep land on the tax rolls and minimize management responsibilities. As discussed earlier, this can be accomplished through the use of land trades and the purchase or donation of conservation and trail ease- ments. The Town's ability to negotiate in a flexible and cooperative spirit will determine, to a great extent, whether it can obtain many of the interests in land that it seeks at minimal cost and management burden. There are five components of the proposed property management strategy. 1) Easement and Land Negotiator The TOV should engage the services of a skilled real estate negotiator that has had experience in working with landowners on easements, bargain sales, tax advantaged October 16, 2018 - Page 111 of 411 Town of Vail (t l ( ( ( ( ( Comprehensive Open Lands Plan gifts, installment purchases, land trades, advantages of public acquisition and dona- tions of partial interests in property. The negotiator should work with the TOV on the priority acquisition program to structure all acquisitions, whether full fee or partial inter- ests such as easements, in a manner which minimizes the cost to the Town and meets landowner objectives. As has been demon- strated by many land trusts, this type of cre- ative approach to land protection can signifi- cantly reduce protection costs and also mini- mize land maintenance obligations. The negotiator can be either a TOV employee or a contractor, but must dedicate a significant amount of time to these negotiations if they are to save the Town acquisition funds and management expense. The negotiator must be capable of working with the Town attor- ney on a variety of acquisition and easement instruments. 2) Management, Maintenance and Liability Audit Prior to the time that a property is acquired by the Town, an audit will be performed of the management requirements and site con- ditions which require Town expense. The maintenance fund within the RETT funds could be expanded by the annual operating expenses for each parcel of land if they are significant. The services of a professional Forester may be desired to analyze the impli- cations of maintenance and forest manage- ment on a number of the action parcels. Other areas that should be included in a audit include: previous owners & activities; existence of hazards, e.g. rockfall, debris flow; storage or release of hazardous materi- als on the site; and condition of any existing infrastructure that may require maintenance. 3) Expand Capability of Landscape Maintenance Operations & Forest Management This plan seeks to minimize the additional management requirements on the Landscape Maintenance Fund for the maintenance of park and open space lands that may be acquired by the Town. However, there may be a need to expand this current capacity to manage these lands. The Town should also consider contracting or hiring on a part-time basis a professional forester to help manage Town forest resources. 4) Establish a Tunior Ranger Program As the open land system increases in size, the Town should consider establishing a Junior Ranger program to assist in maintenance functions and productively engage the youth of the Town. A growing number of commu- nities with open land systems are utilizing local high school students in the summer to perform a variety of land management tasks. Most often these tasks relate to trail mainte- nance, trail construction, general mainte- nance and supplementing ranger patrols. These Junior Ranger programs have proven to be extremely popular with the students, have served to educate them on stewardship issues and have proven to be cost effective in performing certain tasks. They do require a significant amount of organization and supervision but are worth the effort. A vari- ety of federal and state summer employment programs might assist in supporting such a program. This program may be of interest to the VRD and could be managed through the Nature Center. 5) Utilize Volunteer Assistance to Build Trails and Monitor TOV Owned Lands There is significant precedence in Colorado for volunteer construction of trails. Both Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado and the Colorado Trail, among others, are examples of volunteer, non-profit organizations with trail design and construction expertise. One of the many benefits of utilizing volunteers is that it will connect the community to its resources and give the participants a sense of stewardship. Once a trail or other facility is constructed, volunteers can be utilized in an "adopt -a -trail" type program to help maintain the facility. ®IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY he Town should move in an aggressive and pro - 1 fashion in three key areas if it is to create the open space system identified in this plan. The first is the design of the new community -wide trail system and application for funds, the second is the negotiation for those key priority parcels identified in the plan, and the third is structuring the RETT funds to meet acquisition objectives. There are options for additional funding sources, described below. FUNDING SOURCES he Town of Vail is fortunate that it has a dedicat- ed source of funding for the acquisition, develop- ment and maintenance of park, recreation and open space lands. This is the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) which is a 1% tax on all real estate transfers within the Town of Vail. Over the past five years this tax has generated $1.3 to $2 million in revenues annu- ally. The revenues from RETT are allocated to a vari- ety of uses including: purchase of open space; debt service for previous open space purchases; park and trail development and maintenance; and repayment of other Town funds (i.e. Capital Improvement Fund) which were used to previously acquire open space. Due to the sizable amount of the revenue which is allocated to development and maintenance of park and open space facilities, only a portion is available for acquisition. However, the Town has the ability to borrow or bond against the future income stream which indicates a capacity to significantly leverage the funds available for acquisition. The Town Council has authority over the allocation and use of the RETT funds. The creative use and management of this fund offers the greatest opportunity for the Town to acquire the lands designated for purchase. Other sources of funding potentially available to the Town include: 1) State Trail Funds from the Colorado Department of Parks and Outdoor Recreation Stuart McDonald, State Trails Coordinator Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 618, Denver, Colorado, 80203, (303) 866-3437. October 16, 2018 - Page 112 of 411 ( ( 1 { ( ( ( 1 1 ( ( Town of Vail ( ( 1 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan 2) Lottery and GOCO Funds Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund, c/o Kenneth Salazar, Board Chairman, Colorado Department of Natural Resources, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 718, Denver, Colorado, 80203, (303) 866-3311. The passage of Amendment 8 in November, 1992 established the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) Trust Fund. When the Colorado lottery was established in 1980, most Coloradoans thought that proceeds were going to be directed to parks, recreation and open space as specified in the referen- dum. However, the legislature funded a variety of capital projects with lottery pro- ceeds so that less than half the net revenues were going to the intended purposes. The passage of Amendment 8 clearly directs all lottery proceeds to the GOCO Trust Fund and the Conservation Trust Fund. The GOCO Trust Fund is entirely funded by lot- tery revenues and will be phased in over the next five years as programs currently funded by the lottery are terminated. A fifteen member, governor appointed board has been appointed to oversee the direction of the program. Eventually, GOCO may have as much as $35 million to distribute to four program areas. These include State Outdoor Recreation, State Division of Wildlife, local parks grants, and open space grants. The board has begun meeting and expects to have an executive director by the first of the year. The first cycle of grants should begin by Spring 1994. Vail would be able to compete for funds from both the local grants and open space grants portions of the program. While the criteria for rewarding funds has not been finalized, initial indica- tions are that those communities which established their open land and park priori- ties and have dedicated resources to these issues will be in a better position to compete for funds. The first year funding level is expected to be in the range of $10 to $12 mil- lion. 3) Sales or other Town Taxes Given the availability of the RETT funds it is unlikely that another tax would be dedicated to open space acquisition. 4) County Open Space Fund It has been proposed that Eagle County establish a funding mechanism to protect open space in the County. An Open Lands Committee has been created to determine the best way to protect open lands in Eagle County. Creating a land trust is one idea that is being explored by the committee. If a land trust was created it may serve as a vehicle for protecting lands in Vail. However, it is antic- ipated that the primary objective of a County land trust would be to protect agricultural open space.in unincorporated areas of Eagle County. PHASING The RETT funds provide the Town with a substantial source of funds for implementing the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The Town Finance Department has produced several scenarios of RETT revenues which indicate the amount of funds available for existing programs and to fund new acquisition and development of park, recreation and trail facilities. In addition to the Town's scenarios (scenarios 1&2), another scenario (scenario 3) was produced assuming a higher level of revenue. The three revenue scenario that were examined are: Scenario 1- $1.2 million, Scenario 2 - $1.5 million, and Scenario 3 - $1.7 million. The average of the past five years RETT revenues is slightly in excess of $1.7 million, with two years close to or above $2 million. Scenario number three, $1.7 million in revenues per year, was selected to analyze the potential amount of funds available for open space acquisition and park and trail projects. As in the other two scenarios, $1.6 million was budgeted for projects in 1993. However, because of the increase in revenues and an assumption that a fund balance of $800,000 would be maintained annually from then on, significant increases in funds available for projects can be seen. The $800,000 fund balance minimum has been identified as a desirable cushion for potential changes in revenue and unanticipated short-term needs. As a result, the following amounts are projected for the six year period from 1994 through 1999. 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 TOTAL $1,400,000 $ 300,000 $ 300,000 $ 850,000 $ 850,000 $ 800,000 $4,500,000 RETT funds decline sharply in 1995 because the exist- ing fund balance in excess of $800,000 is utilized in 1994. In addition, after 1996 the transfers to capital projects for debt service are completely paid off so that the amount available increases by over $500,000. FOUR YEAR FUNDING NEEDS he high priority lands for the Vail Open Space 1 System fall into three categories for protection. These are full fee purchase, obtaining trail and con- servation easements, and funding trail, trailhead and park improvements. Cost estimates are only avail- able on fee purchases since cost may vary dramatical- ly depending on individual negotiations for ease- ments. In the fee purchase category, the purchase of the sensitive natural areas, riparian areas and full fee trail easements total between $2.5 and $3.0 million. The cost of acquiring trail and conservation ease- ments may vary widely between landowners. The objective is to obtain as many of these easements through donation as possible. If we assume that most of these can be obtained through donations and bargain sales, but that there will need to be a signifi- cant amount of negotiation and transaction time attached to obtaining these easements we can allocate in the range of $200,000 annually to this effort over a five year period. Finally, the new trail, trailhead and park construction will require an analysis of the feasi- bility and design of these facilities before accurate estimates are possible.

It should be recognized that the costs estimated in Table 10 could vary significantly based on: 1) Negotiations on individual parcels. 2) Based on zoning, Parcel 1 does have develop- ment rights and a developer is currently proposing a subdivision on this site. The RETT fund balance referenced in Table 10 will greatly hinge on the disposition of this property. 3) Expand the amount of time for the easement - negotiations and trail/park construction pro- gram and reduce the annual expenditure for these items. In addition, if a substantial amount of the trail and trailhead construction can be accomplished by volunteer trail con- struction crews, the construction budget could be reduced. 4) The TOV could borrow or bond against the RETT to meet the shortfall or combine bor- rowing with a reduction in the fund balance to meet these anticipated expenditures. The borrowing could occur in the second year after one years operation of the easement acquisition and trails/parks construction program so that the amounts allocated to these activities could be evaluated and per- haps reduced. October 16, 2018 - Page 114 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan SIX YEAR PLAN The Six Year Plan to implement the Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan consists of a set of specific actions for a four year implementation program and a six year payment plan. The objective of this plan is to closely match the implementation actions to projected RETT revenues . The Six Year Plan will address primarily the priority projects which have been identified through this process. These include the environmentally sensitive lands, the South Trail properties, the Stream Access in the Town core, the North Trail/West Vail proper- ties and completion of the bike lanes on the Frontage Road (See Table 10). It is important to remember that only about one half of the properties identified for protection will be included in these priority areas. However, year four of the Action Plan will begin to address the acquisition/protection of these areas. It is expected that in year four there will be an evalua- tion of the program to -date to assess the process and techniques utilized to ensure that the protection process is occurring in as timely, creative and most cost effective fashion as possible. NEXT STEPS The following generally describes the next steps that should be taken to implement the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. Hire or Contract the Services of a Property Manager A property manager should be contracted to assist the Town with land negotiations. This person must be skilled in real estate transactions and negotiating easements. This person should also closely review RETT expenditures and make recommendations for the restructuring of this fund. Council Review of 6 year plan and RETT Fund Shortly after adoption of this plan, the Vail Town Council should review the six year work plan and RETT income & expenditures to decide if restructur- ing the RETT fund or additional borrowing is desir- able to meet the objectives of this plan. Begin Implementation of LOA Process The Land Ownership Adjustment Process (LOA) has been, and will continue to be, a cooperative project between the Town of Vail, the U.S. Forest Service, and Eagle County. The goals and objectives of this process are described in detail in Appendix 1. Through development of this plan, several of the identified LOA parcels/ actions have received a high priority because they help meet needs identified through the priority analysis process . These are pri- orities for both the Town of Vail and the USFS. Town of Vail high priority LOA parcels (lands identi- fied during the LOA process) include: Parcel 1 - Trappers Run, Lots 16, 19, 21 Parcel 2 - Unplated Parcel N of Vail Ridge Parcel 15 - Parcel A Parcel 27 - Parcel C Parcel 51 - Parcel H The Town of Vail is interested in acquiring parcels 51, 15 (portion) from the U.S. Forest Service and convey- ing parcels 2 and 1 (portion) to the U.S. Forest Service. TOV and adjacent owners are interested in acquiring the northwest portion of 27 and and dean - flexing the southwest portion The next level of priorities should be to work with public entities on the issue of resolving the Water and Sanitation District or other PUBLIC facilities on National Forest System land within the Town. These parcels include: Parcel 33 - Parcel F Parcel 28 - Parcel E In both of these cases, the transaction involves con- veyance of a portion of the National Forest System owned parcel to the Town and the deannexation of the remainder (which will remain in the National Forest System). The remaining LOA parcels are con- sidered a low priority but should be looked at first in the context of balancing land values during the trade of the High and Medium priority parcels. The Town of Vail and the U.S. Forest Service should pursue land trades on the identified parcels. The first step in this process is to initiate separate land value appraisals for these properties. Appraisals should be sought for as many parcels as needed to acquire the high (and possibly the medium) priority parcels in order to balance the trade values. Of the high and medium priority parcels, these include Parcels 51, 28, and 27, and 27a . Design Trails and Seek Funding The design of the first phase of the new South Trail needs to be completed in order to determine financial requirements and to begin fund raising. Funding for the trail will be facilitated by a clear definition of the trail system and understanding of its feasibility as well as benefit to the Town. Funding can be sought through the State Trails program, GOCO funds and through local support. The GOCO funds will begin to be dispersed later this year and it appears that those communities which have done initial planning and gathered community support will be in a more favorable position to compete successfully for these funds. The Town should also continue to look for opportunities to improve regional trail connections. Comprehensive Sign Program With the addition of a number of trails and trail - heads, and the improvement of existing trailheads, it will be more critical to implement a comprehensive sign program that is coordinated between the Town of Vail, the U.S. Forest Service, and Vail Associates. A sign program is currently in the process of being implemented in the Town but it has not yet been tied to the other trail systems that will, in the future, bet- ter connect to the "in -town" trails. The core area "trailheads" will serve as information "kiosks" that will let the user know exactly how and where to access the trail system. West Meadow Drive Plans currently exist to improve West Meadow Drive with improved pedestrian and cycling paths and landscaping. At the November 9, 1993 Town Council Meeting, Council directed staff to move ahead with implementation of the West Meadow Drive plan as an alternative to the streamwalk between Lionshead and the Chapel Bridge. Institute Neighborhood Planning Process In response to the needs identified for both East and West Vail, this plan recommends that neighborhood planning processes be initiated for East and West Vail to more fully understand the needs and deficien- cies of these areas in regard to parks and recreational facilities. These needs may relate to new parks, types of park uses appropriate to the neighborhood, or to reprogramming existing parks to better meet the needs of residents and visitors. These meetings can also be used to identify undeveloped lots in a neigh- borhood that the neighborhood may wish to protect. October 16, 2018 - Page 115 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Pian Structure Use of REIT Funds The Town needs to make some basic determinations as to how it will utilize the RETT funds for acquisi- tion of priority parcels. If it continues the current pay as you go approach it has limited ability, compared with other approaches which may entail some bor- rowing. Currently, approximately $1.5 million is committed to existing debt service and obligations. Revenues which are received above this level could be committed to the acquisition program. TOV acts as Vehicle for Neighborhood Scale Protection of Land On parcels of land that a neighborhood is interested in protecting, but are not part of the open space sys- tem or do not have community -wide significance, the Town of Vail can act as a facilitator to assist in pro- tecting these lands. This role could range from act- ing cting as the buyer (with participation from the neigh- borhood), to enabling the neighborhood to take advantage of tax benefits, to accepting these lands so the Town has management responsibilities. The Town could play a variety of roles in financing acqui- sition of lands ranging from negotiation, to providing matching funds or providing partial funding to assist in the protection of these lands. It is recommended that a portion of the RETT be designated for protec- tion of neighborhood open space. It is recommended that a portion of the $800,000 REIT contingency fund be used for this purpose. Complete Zoning Changes A critical element to open lands protection will be completing the proposed zoning changes for Greenbelt Natural Open Space and the Agricultural Open Space Districts. After these text changes are completed, Staff should recom- mend zoning changes to specific parcels to ensure that zoning is consistent with the Open Lands Plan, Land Use Plan, and the current land use on and adjacent to parcels. Private Improvements to Public Land On November 9,1993 the Town Council instructed Town staff to identify areas where unauthorized improvements on public lands have occurred particularly on public stream tract areas. This action will take considerable staff time and should be identified in the Community Development or Public Works work plan. In addition, it is recommended that staff develop recommendations for private property owners to decrease impacts to sensitive natural areas, such as Gore Creek, e.g. maintaining native veg- etation along Gore Creek and its tributaries. Permanent Protection of Lands Acquired for Vail Open Lands System One of the concerns frequently expressed at the pub- lic meetings was the need to ensure that once lands are acquired for open space, parks, and trails that they be protected from conversion to other uses in the future. This desire to ensure the permanence of protection for these lands can be met in several ways. The two potential models are first, the requirement of a public vote for any change in use of these lands and second, the use of a land trust (holding an easement on these properties) as an insurance policy. The Town should move quickly to first develop an ordi- nance requiring a public vote to change the use or zoning of open space and then explore the viability of a land trust. a. Public Vote to Change Use One of the most common ways that lands acquired with public funds for parks and open space purposes can be protected from conversion to other uses is to require a public referendum for any change of use. Usually this requires a charter amendment, as is the case in Boulder and Denver. The charters of both of these cities require a vote of the peo- ple to convert open space and park land to other uses. This prevents future city councils or departments from taking actions to change uses without first obtaining permission from a majority of the electorate. This has never happened with land in Boulder and is extremely rare in Denver (the proposed sale of Winter Park by the City of Denver, for example, falls under this provision). This approach has worked extremely well in juris- dictions where it is utilized and allows future town councils limited ability to change uses. The Town should evaluate different protec- tion techniques that have been used (e.g. Boulder and Denver) and determine what is appropriate for the Town of Vail. b. Establishment of a Land Trust A second option is the use of an independent land trust which would hold easements on each of the parcels acquired for either open space or parks. The choice of this option is motivated by a desire to use conservation easements on these lands to permanently protect them from changing uses or being developed. This approach is more complicat- ed than the first option and, while it offers the prospect of permanent protection, has a number of hurdles to overcome before this level of protection is achieved. A land trust is a nonprofit, public purpose organization which is dedicated to conserv- ing open space lands. Land trusts range from large organizations such as the Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Lands and Colorado Open Lands to small, locally ori- ented and volunteer organizations such as the Clear Creek Conservancy, Eagle County Land Trust, and Mesa County Land Trust. There are 26 land trusts operating in Colorado, most of them small and locally ori- ented. The primary vehicle utilized by land trusts to protect open lands is the conservation ease- ment. The conservation easement perma- nently protects a property from development and may specify various management prac- tices which must be employed to ensure the protection of conservation values. Generally, a conservation easement is voluntarily given by a landowner to a land trust or govern- mental entity. An easement is a legally enforceable restriction on property which is recorded with the property deed. Many landowners prefer to give easements to land trusts as opposed to governmental entities because they fear that governmental policy and commitment to conservation may change over time. The landowner has complete use and man- agement of a property with a conservation easement on it. The land trust's responsibili- ty is to monitor the use of the property to ensure that the terms of the easement are not violated. If they are violated, the land trust has the responsibility of notifying the owner of the violation and seeking compliance with October 16, 2018 - Page 116 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan the terms of the easement. If the owner fails to remedy the situation, the land trust must bring an enforcement action against the owner in county court to correct the violation (i.e. building in an easement area). The responsibility of the land trust to monitor and enforce the terms of the easement is per- petual. As a result, the land trust must be a capably run and viable entity for the long term. The placement of perpetual conservation easements on the Town owned open space and park lands could create an insurance pol- icy that they would never be developed or used in inappropriate ways. However, there are a number of practical hurdles which must be overcome before this technique is viable. First, the Town must either work with an existing land trust or help create a new land trust in Vail or Eagle County. Several exist- ing land trusts such as the Trust for Public Land or the Eagle County Land Trust might be willing to perform this service for the Town. In order to monitor and enforce ease- ments, most land trusts ask landowners for payment of an endowment to cover antici- pated costs. This is generally a one time pay- ment which is placed in a stewardship fund used for monitoring and enforcement. The establishment of a local land trust in Vail has been discussed for several years in order to encourage voluntary conservation of remaining open space lands. Land trusts are generally supported by local contributions and are active in a number of ski towns such as Jackson Hole, Crested Butte, Telluride, and Steamboat. In Crested Butte, the land trust receives support from the Town of Crested Butte's real estate transfer tax. Under Colorado law, a land trust must be in existence for at least two years before it can accept easements. The land trust option could work well if the Town and the community are committed to ensuring the long term viability of the land trust. Since Vail is almost ninety percent built out, there may be limited conservation potential beyond the next ten years. Therefore, the land trust might have a larger geographical focus than just the Town of Vail. There is an Eagle County Land Trust, for instance, but it has not been very active in concluding conservation transactions. If the land trust option is to be pursued, the oppor- tunities for collaboration with a larger or national land trust should be explored as an alternative to a purely local land trust. There might be some interesting local/national hybrid land trust alternatives which might be possible. The land trust option can provide an inde- pendent insurance policy to keep the open space and park lands undeveloped. However, there are a number of issues relat- ed to establishing the land trust, affiliating with a national land trust, ensuring the via- bility of the land trust, and defining the inter- action between the land trust and the Town which must be addressed before the Town can move with assurance in this direction. CONCLUSION his report presents an action plan designed to I implement the public's desires for protecting environmentally sensitive lands, improving and expanding the Vail Valley's trail system, and improv- ing recreational opportunities. The Action Plan spells out in detail a six year plan that will achieve the highest priorities of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. In addition, rec- ommendations are made to improve management of TOV lands and to better integrate these lands into an open lands system. The action plan is intended to be flexible enough to take advantage of land opportuni- ties as they arise. This plan provides a detailed framework for creating a system of open lands and interconnecting trails which will help maintain the open character of Vail. October 16, 2018 - Page 117 of 411 Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan LAND OWNERSHIP AND ADJUSTMENT PROCESS The White River National Forest is in the process of preparing a Land Ownership Adjustment Analysis (LOA) for incorporation into the Forest Plan as an amendment. This analysis will serve as a strategic guide to manage land ownership of the forest and will "classify" the forest with regard to disposal and acquisition objectives. This plan has been fully inte- grated into the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The Vail Land Ownership Adjustment Task Force, made up of representatives for the Town of Vail (TOV) , U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Eagle County has been established for the purpose of cooperatively developing a "desired" ownership pattern and a common Town of Vail / NFS boundary. Other goals of the task force include, but are not limited to, resolving unpermitted encroachments and improve- ments on National Forest lands, maintaining and improving public access to National Forest lands and jointly planning and integrating Town of Vail and National Forest recreation opportunities . Over the past two years, the LOA Task Force has reviewed a number of lots and parcels throughout the Town to determine their appropriateness for inclusion into the Land Ownership Adjustment plan. Review criteria included parcel location, Town of Vail zoning designation, geologic/floodplain hazard status, parcel acreage and other pertinent informa- tion. A LOA "code" has been assigned to each parcel which indicates the Task Force's recommended action for the property (i.e. USFS conveyance to the TOV, TOV to consider purchase, etc.). October 16, 2018 - Page 118 of 411 The task force has described the "Desired Future Condition" highlighting recommended results to achieve within the next 10 years. A. That there be no National Forest System lands within the municipal limits of the Town of Vail. B. That the U.S. Forest Service survey, identify, and maintain the common boundary of the Town of Vail and the U.S. Forest Service and that both agencies share in the enforcement of regulations pertaining to the boundary. The boundary has been simplified where possible, irregularities have been reduced or eliminated. C. That all land exchanges and purchases opti- mize both local and national public benefit. Conflicts with local interests are recognized in the decision making process of all land exchanges and purchases, and all efforts are made to address and minimize those con- flicts. D. That all lands acquired by the Town of Vail are used for public purposes such as open space, public housing, recreation or for the resolution of unauthorized uses. E. That the Town of Vail, Eagle County, or the U.S. Forest Service acquire all privately owned tracts, parcels and previously unplat- ed lands adjacent to, and outside of, the com- mon Town of Vail and National Forest System boundary. These lands are trans- ferred to the National Forest System, Eagle County, or the Town of Vail where joint objectives are satisfied. F. That public access to National Forest System lands be maintained or improved. New access points meet Town of Vail and U.S. Forest Service objectives. G. That National Forest System lands within the study area that are encumbered with aban- doned uses, unauthorized uses, or infrastruc- ture related facilities are reduced or eliminat- ed. H. That the Town of Vail and National Forest recreation opportunities are jointly planned and integrated. T. That all unincorporated, platted residential areas within the study area are annexed within the municipal limits of the Town of Vail. That the wood fiber production emphasis management area (7E) that is adjacent to the Town of Vail as identified in the Forest Land and Resource Management Plan be replaced by a recreation emphasis prescription. K. That new developments are discouraged on private lands that exist outside and adjacent to the Town of Vail. The next step in the LOA process is formal adoption of the LOA plan by both the Forest Service, in the form of an amendment to the Forest Plan, and the Town of Vail, as part of this Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. Once the plan has been adopted, the TOV and USFS will proceed with transfer and/or acquisition of lands and adjustment of the TOV/USFS boundary line according to a preestab- lished priority list. o o 4 4Q a b .Das 8Schone I \Vail Heights p Lionsridge I o, Buffehr Creek ❑[1 ❑d Qb —a p 4 8 4 d Sandstone �p o p d 4 %w� d 4 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan - Status of Action Plan Parcels and Trails - Town of Vail, Colorado • � 4 � O 8 Q Potato a Patch' b O �Iq Spraddle Creek . ..C7744%, l':= - Ire 10,_,-...711:1,,p,"ftvil,,__„.: MIIIPLe. . 41111115- 115" .

RETT imposes a 1% land transfer tax upon the transfer of interests in real property. RETT was adopted by ordinance 1979 and was amended in 1980, 1987, 1992 and 2006. Below is a summary of RETT and amendments that have been made since 1979. Ordinance 26, Series 1979 • 1% Land Transfer Tax to be paid upon transfer of all real property. • Sale or conveyance of real property for purpose of constructing low or moderate priced housing exempt from Tax. • 1% consideration shall be earmarked for acquisition of real property located either within or without the limits of the Town of Vail. • Funds shall be subject to appropriation only for the purposes of acquiring land for parks, recreation, open space and/or similar purposes. Ordinance 5, 1980 • Many refinements to Ordinance 26, Series 1979 • Addition to appropriation of funds to include "paying incidental costs and principal and interest on any borrowing for the acquisition." Ordinance 8, Series 1987 • No increase to the 1% tax rate without such tax rate increase is approved by a majority of the registered electors voting in a regular or special election. • Appropriation of funds expanded to include the cost of construction of buildings which are incidental to park, recreation and open space land, including paying incidental costs and the principle of and interest on any borrowing of such improvement and construction. • Appropriation of funds may be used for acquiring land located within the Town of Vail or contiguous to the town boundary. October 16, 2018 - Page 121 of 411 Ordinance 10, Series 1992 • Appropriation of funds within the Town of Vail or within one mile of the boundaries of the Town of Vail. • Funds shall be appropriated for the following purposes: o Acquiring, improving, maintaining and repairing real property for parks, recreation, open space and similar purposes, o The construction, maintenance, and repair of buildings which are incidental to park, recreation, and open space land, o Landscaping parks and open space, o The construction, maintenance, repair and landscaping of recreation paths set forth in the Town of Vail Recreation Trails Plan, and o Paying incidental costs and principle of and interest on any funds borrowed for the purposes set forth above. Ordinance 31, Series 2006 • Appropriation of funds expanded to include supporting sustainable environmental practices as determined necessary for the environmental health and welfare of the Town of Vail. • Intent of amendment that appropriation of funds for acquisition of lands, construction and maintenance of incidental buildings, landscaping and construction and maintenance of trails to be satisfied prior to appropriation of funds for sustainable environmental practices. October 16, 2018 - Page 122 of 411 NEPA and EIS process for new trails located on USFS lands The following steps generally outline the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process, which new trails located on USFS lands would be analyzed under. 1. Official "Project Proposal Letter" (PPL) containing proposals from the Conceptual Trails Plan submitted by Town of Vail to USFS • PPL submitted by Town of Vail to the USFS. 2. USFS Evaluation of PPL and Proposal Acceptance • PPL reviewed for consistency with the Forest Plan, USFS Direction, and Open Lands Plan. • Based on predicted environmental impacts, the USFS determines the level of NEPA that would be necessary to analyze the proposal (including a Categorical Exclusion (CE), an Environmental Assessment (EA), or an EIS). • An EIS is the highest level of site-specific NEPA review and would be anticipated for a proposal containing numerous trails as outlined in the Conceptual Trails Plan. Individual trail proposals, re-routes, or maintenance may fall under a CE or EA. • Project proposal accepted by USFS. 3. Proposed Action Development • USFS Interdisciplinary Team (ID) Team resource specialists work with the Town of Vail to develop Proposed Action, project design criteria, and mitigation and monitoring measures to minimize environmental impacts. 4. NEPA Process Begins: Public Scoping Period (Public Comment Opportunity) • Scoping Notice, including project purpose and need and description mailed to the public and agencies. • Scoping period initiated when the Notice of Intent is published in the Federal Register. October 16, 2018 - Page 123 of 411 • Public has opportunity to present comments on the project specific website and/or in writing, by fax, by email, or in person. • Public Open Houses are held during scoping period (the opportunity for the public to be informed of the project proposal, ask questions, and submit comments). 5. Preparation of Draft EIS • Based on comments received during the scoping period and review by the ID Team, a "reasonable range of alternatives" as required to NEPA is Developed to be analyzed in the Draft EIS. • Studies and analysis, including field surveys, are conducted to prepare the Draft EIS • Technical reports are prepared, including Biological Assessment submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 Requirement. • Draft EIS is comprised of the Purpose & Need for Action, Description of Alternatives, Affected Environment, and Environmental Consequences, as well as mitigation measures to minimize impacts to resources. 6. Draft EIS Comment Period (Public Comment Opportunity) • Draft EIS is delivered to EPA to publish the Notice of Availability for public comment in the Federal Register, which initiates comment period. • Document provided to federal, state, and local agencies and organizations, and interested members of the public for a 45 -day public comment period. • Comments received during Draft EIS comment period by agencies and the public help further refine and strengthen the analysis. 7. Response to Comments and EIS Finalized • USFS drafts responses to public comments and issues the Final EIS. October 16, 2018 - Page 124 of 411 8. Preferred Alternative Determined by USFS • Preferred Alternative is chosen by Decision Maker. • Preferred Alternative can be any alternative in its entirety, including the No Action, or a combination of alternatives. 9.

October 16, 2018 - Page 125 of 411 Trail Types and Standards The trails included in this plan are designed for a variety of user experiences and purposes. Each type of trail is therefore subject to a different set of standards and practices that will best accommodate the users on that trail. Multi -use trails should be wide enough to accommodate the many users and user types sharing the trail, while soft surface trails should be designed to provide natural experiences. There are a different set of standards for bicycle facilities that share the road or have a dedicated space separated from the road. This section describes each facility type so that readers can get a clear understanding of each term. It also describes the standards Vail uses for that facility type and in what context it is appropriate. Hard -Surface Trail Types The Town of Vail has many hard -surface or paved facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. These facilities provide safe routes along roadways and between homes and local destinations. The hard - surface facilities are categorized as either separate/buffered from the road or within the roadways. Separated facilities include sidewalks, separated multi -use paths (Gore Valley Trail through Katsos Ranch), and attached multi -use paths (Gore Valley Trail along the frontage roads). Paved shoulders (along the Frontage Roads) and shared lanes (residential areas) are considered within the roadway. The Town of Vail follows the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' 2012 Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities which offers guidance on facility widths, pavements and layout of the system. PAVED TRAIL OR FACILITY SEPARATED OR BUFFERED FROM ROAD SIDEWALK) SEPARATED MULTI -USE PATH ATTACHED MULTI -USE PATH WITHIN ROADWAY October 16, 2018 - Page 126 of 411 CSPAVED SHOULDER SHARED ROADWAY Sidewalks Sidewalks are pedestrian facilities located along roadways in both residential and commercial areas. They separate pedestrians from the roadway, creating pedestrian safety and comfort. They are most common in areas with heavy vehicular traffic. Sidewalks can be attached - separated from the roadway by the curb, or detached - separated by a landscape planting strip or buffer zone. Sidewalk widths are between 5-10'. Wider walks are encouraged in busier areas. Attached Multi -Use Trails Similar in design to a sidewalk, attached multi -use trails are used in areas with limited right-of-way or space for a separated trail and where the town's recreation trail system runs along the roadway. Attached multi -use trails are paved and between 8'-10' wide. They are typically curb -separated from the frontage roads. Though they look similar to sidewalks, they are wider and open to cyclists like a separated multi -use trail. Separated Multi -Use Trails Separated multi -use trails provide safe routes away from motor vehicles and are common in Vail's paved system. Multi -use trails are used by pedestrians, cyclists, dogwalkers, strollers, commuters, as well as fat bikers and Nordic skiers in the winter. Typically paved with asphalt or concrete, the trails offer an accessible recreational experience. In Vail, these trails connect neighborhoods to local destinations such as Vail Village, the library, and local parks. The Town of Vail requires these trails to have a 10' wide paved surface with a 1' gravel shoulder on either side. In heavily trafficked areas, the trail may be up to 1 2' wide.

They also extend the maintenance life of a roadway and provide additional space for parked vehicles. In Vail, these shoulders are 3'-6' wide and carry pedestrians and cyclists in the same direction as motor vehicles. Share -the -Road signs may be used to protect users. Adding striped shoulders to some of Vail's residential areas could help accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and calm traffic. Shared Lanes All streets and roadways, unless prohibited by law, permit use by both bicycles and motor vehicles. Cyclists generally prefer to ride on lower volume roadways. On busier roadways or designated bike routes, a bicycle with chevrons (commonly known as a sharrow) is stamped on the roadway to welcome cyclists and improve safety. The placement of sharrows depends on the street's parking arrangement — on the edge of the roadway for wider streets with parallel parking and closer to the center on narrow streets with angled parking. Roundabout Safety Roundabouts present a challenge for pedestrians and bicycles. Appropriately placed crosswalks and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) can safely assist users through the roundabout. Placing crosswalks at the access roads to the roundabouts avoids the limited view drivers have through the roundabout. RRFBs further alert drivers to crossers and have been shown to improving driver's yielding compliance. Signs that encourage cyclists to "Take a Lane" as a vehicle help improve visibility and let drivers know cyclists may be present. ._ 4r 161. - Paved Shoulder Buffer (Optional) 4 ft (-1.2 m)min. 254ft (0.51.2 m) or wider Paved shoulders have a 4-6' recommended min/mum width but with an outside curb maybe narrowed to 3: Image source: FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal NPtwnrkc rduir/P October 16, 2018 - P • Typical "sharrow' layout per MUTCD Soft -Surface Trail Types Soft -surface trails are naturally -surfaced, narrow trails that generally follow the natural contour of the land. In Vail, soft -surface trails can be found on the valley floor, along the lower reaches of mountain -sides and up into the higher elevations that surround the Town.. Soft -surface trails should be designed to be sustainable with gentle grades and a natural contour that limits the impact to the environment. Most existing and proposed soft -surface trails in the greater Vail network are on Forest Service land. As such, these trails are subject to USFS trail standards. The Forest Service publication Trail Fundamentals and Trail Management Ob]ectivesprovides trail definitions, classes, recommended design parameters (widths, grades, clearances, etc.) and management objectives. The publication can be found on the U.S. Forest Service website (www.fs.fed.us). In general, non -motorized Forest Service trails are considered multi -use (hiking, equestrian, biking). Trails within designated wilderness areas, such as the Eagles Nest Wilderness, are designated for hiking and equestrian use only. In non -wilderness areas, trail design can be used to encourage use by specific user -groups. For example, narrow, steep trails are more likely to be used by hikers whereas trails with banked turns or technical sections may be preferred by mountain bikers. When looking to improve or expand Vail's trail system, efforts should be made to provide trails for all user types and abilities using general standards as outlined below. Trail Design When designing new trails, adopting non -sanctioned trails or recommending maintenance on existing trails, trail design standards should be used based on the proposed use of the trail. Per the USFS, the following general trail standards are recommended. The standards would be further refined by trail difficulty.

October 16, 2018 - Page 130 of 411 Trail Difficulty Rating System The U.S. Forest Service regards trails as Class 1 through 5, with Class 1 as highly variable and unimproved (difficult) and Class 5 as highly improved with little variability (easy) and varies the Classes based on the "Trail Designed Use" such as hiking, biking, motorcycling, etc. The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) uses a system based on the International Trail Marking System used by ski areas rating trails as green -blue -black -double black. Since most trails in the Vail network would be considered non -motorized and multi -use, this Plan recommends a rating system based on Easy, Moderate, Difficult trails by combining aspects of both the USFS system and the IMBA system. As Vail is a ski destination, it is recommended to follow the ski Trail Marking System to rate trails as green, blue, black or double black. Considerations when rating a trail will include surface type, stability and smoothness, tread width and grade and trail length. Additional standards should be applied according to trail use type as shown on the previous page..

October 16, 2018 - Page 131 of 411 Other Trail Uses Electric Assisted Bicycles Electric Assisted Bicycles (EABs) or "E -bikes" are growing in popularity across the country and are used by both commuters and recreationalists. In Colorado, e -bikes are allowed anywhere that a traditional bike is allowed, including paved recreation trails, unless otherwise restricted by the local municipality. Currently, e -bikes are not allowed on soft -surface USFS trails unless the trail allows motorized vehicles. In Vail, e -bikes are encouraged as a way to reduce vehicle traffic, promote healthy outdoor activity and to provide opportunities for less -fit or older bikers who might otherwise have difficulty with the steep terrain and high altitude. As their popularity increases, Vail should remain vigilant in regards to safety and over -crowding on the recreation trail system. Trails on Snow Vail's trails are covered in snow throughout the winter. There are opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, and fat biking on the snow-covered trails. Conflicts between user groups such as fat bikers and cross-country skiers arise when there is discord in speed between users, limited trail width to accommodate user "footprints," and the varying desires of grooming standards for snow covered trails. The Nordic Center trails will be opened to fat biking during the winter. The Gore Valley trail between Donovan Park and Lionshead is open but not maintained during the winter. The Gore Valley Trail between Sunburst Lane and East Vail is part of the Nordic Center. Rugged Accessible Trails Rugged Accessible Trails are wide, accessible trails that provide natural and rugged trail opportunities to a wider range of users. These trails are accessible to handcycle and mobility assisted users, and are user-friendly for beginning mountain bikers and large group hiking. Since handcycles are powered by the riders' arms versus legs, these recreationalists need newly adapted trail systems. The following design standards should be applied: 3'-5' tread width 6'- 1 2' corridor width Average and maximum grades should be lower than multi -use trails October 16, 2018 - Page 132 of 411 • <AVON • • \ \ Basingdale to Minturn EAGLEVAIL •nector • . . ...

As we discussed over the phone it is very difficult to break out wildlife information on small areas. Using the available information I have tried to make as specific as possible to the Gore Valley. Part of the problem is the Gore Valley is covered by 2 different game management units (GMU), GMU 36 on the north side and GMU 45 on the south side. For road kill information I have put together the information for 3 years (2014-2016). It is important to remember that road kill data is very preliminary since many animals are able to get away from the highway before dying and are never counted. Also Colorado state law allows for the public to possess certain road killed animals and often these animals are picked up before they are counted. You will also notice that many small mammals are not even mentioned as there is no data for them. This information is attached below. The number of bears that are removed or put down by CPW due to human/bear conflicts is very dependent on weather patterns and public perceptions. I again used data from 3 year (2014-2016). I don't have the data for the number of calls the Vail PD took on bear complaints for this period but I believe you can get these from the PD. 2014 CPW put down 2 bears in Vail. 2015 and 2016 no bears were removed or put down. I used the same years for lion conflicts. Lion conflicts have really become an issue the in the last 2 years. Prior to 2015 I might get 5-10 calls per year about the public seeing Bob D. Brosdreld, Director, Colorado Parks and Hfildlife • Parks and Wildlife Ccmmimion: Robert W. Bray • Jeanne Home John Howard, Vice -Chair • Dale Pixel • James Pnbyl, Chair • James Vett • Dean Wingfield • Michelle Zimmerman, Secretary • Adex 2ipp October 16, 2018 - Page' 1a34 of 411 lions in or around the Town of Vail with most of these being just the public reporting a sighting. However in 2016 I received 18 calls within the Town of Vail and 2 of these were for dogs that were killed by lions. Many of these calls were about the public encountering lions while out with their dogs and concerns that their dogs were at risk of being attacked by the lion. In 2016 CPW did remove and put down 1 lion from the Town of Vail. Deer and Elk: CPW conducts annual big -game classification flights to determine age structure, sex ratios, reproductive success, and population estimates for each data analysis unit (DAU). These DAUs cover large geographic areas, and trying to extract information at a much smaller scale drastically decreases the accuracy of the estimates. A drawback to using historical count data to estimate impacts on wildlife is the amount of confounding variables that influence a species at the population level. Examples include weather, disease, population management at the DAU level for big -game species, and developmentlhuman disturbance. These factors can increase the difficulty of defining impacts by using animal abundance before and after development. It is becoming increasingly apparent to wildlife and land managers that human disturbance to wildlife in the form of recreation is taking a toll on wildlife and on habitat by reducing functionality. In areas experiencing high levels of recreation, animals tend to spend less time foraging and resting and more time traveling. Mountain biking and ATV use may create the highest levels of disturbance for mule deer and elk (Naylor et al. 2008). Behavioral changes such as these occurring in summer range habitat may result in an overall decrease in animal fitness, which often negatively affects reproductive success and winter survival. Examples of these within the Gore Valley are the request for additional biking and hiking trail from Spraddle Creek to Booth Creek, the Vail Trail expansion on the south side of the Gore Creek, the increase in summer activities on Vail Mtn., the request for the expansion of Gold Peak racing area and the overall push to make the valley a full 4 season recreation destination. Elk: Fortunately for elk we have a current study done in Game Management Unit (GMU) 45 from 1995 to 2005 that looked at impacts on elk calving/recruitment from human disturbance. For the elk populations I put together some information using baseline information we have from the elk study done in the Eagle Valley from 1995 to 2005. This study was done in GMU 45 and was to determine impacts on elk calving from human disturbance, (Phillips and Alldredge 2000, Shively et al. 2005). The study done October 16, 2018 - Page 135 of 411 at Beaver Creek and Vail demonstrated that calf/cow ratios for elk declined by approximately 40% (from 64.6 calves per 100 cows to 39.8 calves per 100 cows) as a result of human induced disturbance during the calving season (Phillips and Alldredge 2000, Shively et al. 2005). Reproduction levels during the treatment period were determined to be insufficient to maintain a stable elk population. The second half of the study involved removing the human disturbance component. With the human disturbance removed the calf/cow ratios rebounded to their pre treatment levels. We used the radio collared elk and age and sex ratio counts done from helicopter to determine the elk population in GMU 45. The baseline years were 1994, 1996, 1997 (1995 counts were not used because the flight time was reduced by approximately 50%). These are the 3 years that we have Lincoln indexes, which provides us with 3 years of data to obtain an average on the % of the population we actual count during a flight. The average °Io of the population we counted based on these 3 years is 41.8%. During this period (1994 to 2015) we have had the same observer (except for 2013) and have had relatively the same number of flight hours each year (from 3.5 to 4 hours). The average population for the 3 years of baseline (1994, 1996, 1997) was 1771 elk. The average population for the last 3 years is (2012, 2013, 2014) was 604 elk. That is a 63% drop in population levels (1167 less elk). From 1998 to 2015 there has been 13 years that we have been below the baseline population level. The classification counts for 2013 and 2014 (162 elk) and 2015 (149 elk) were the lowest counts since 1975. Deer in GMU 45 and 36. We are not as fortunate with deer as we don't have any current studies to provide Lincoln indexes for the % of the deer population we count during aerial age and sex ratios. So I used harvest data. The Data Analysis Unit (DAU) for deer is D8 and it covers Units 35, 36, and 45. Harvest GMU 45 From 1955 to 1962 the harvest went from 205 deer to 500 deer respectively with 1962 being the highest harvest (500) ever in GMU 45. The harvest has never again hit 500 deer. From 2010 to 2014 (I am missing 2013) the harvest went from 60 deer to 127 deer respectively. This is confounded by the fact that we now have totally limited deer licenses now. Harvest GMU 36 October 16, 2018 - Page 136 of 411 From 1955 to 1962 harvest went from 553 deer to 1947 deer respectively, with 1962 again having the highest harvest of 1947 deer. The harvest has never again hit 1947 deer. From 2010 to 2014 (I am missing 2013) the harvest went from 157 deer to 318 deer respectively. Again like GMU 45 this in confounded by total limited deer limited licenses. But if you compared those periods there has been greater than a 3 fold reduction in deer harvest in BGU 45 and up to a 6 fold reduction in deer harvest in GMU 36 since 1962. The DAU plan for D8 has shown a steady decline in population since the 1980's. For most of the 1980's the DAU population objective was 26,000 deer, in 1988 it was reduced to 21,000 deer and in 2008 it was reduced to 13,500 to 16,500 deer. These population objectives were reduced based on several factors (loss of habitat, increased recreation pressure, weather, predators and quality of habitat). In the early 1970's Colorado Division of Wildlife researcher Dale Reed completed a study looking at the impact of 1-70 on deer migration at Mud Springs (just east of Dowd Jct.). There was a concrete box culvert placed under 1-70 to provide a migration route for deer. The study on the Mud Springs deer underpass showed about 39% of the Mud Springs deer population failed to pass through the underpass. Below is some information from a 1975 report on deer impacts from the start of Vail. Land use changes in the form of rapid increases in human in -habitation, activity and the construction of 1-70 in the Eagle Valley have contributed to a substantial decline in deer numbers. The extent of this reduction is best expressed by changes in numbers of deer harvested in the two periods, 1959 to 1963 and 1969 to 1973 and comparison of these changes with those of the state as a whole. The percentage decrease in the annual deer harvest in Eagle County between the two time periods was greater than that for the State as a whole, 52.8% and 47.8%, respectively. During this time, the Eagle County contribution to the State's deer harvest declined from 6.2% to 4.6%, and Eagle County's ranking dropped from an average of 5th place to 6th. It is also interesting to note that the decline in the number of deer harvested was greater in Game Management Unit 45, 63.7%, than for any other unit in Eagle County. GMU 45 includes Vail Village, the Vail Ski Area and many related developments, nearly all of which have been developed subsequent to the 1959-63 comparison period. Bighorn Sheep: October 16, 2018 - Page 137 of 411 There is only one population of bighorn sheep in the Gore Valley. An important part of the winter range for this herd is within or adjacent to the Town of Vail and 1-70 in the east Vail area. This herd is considered a native herd although there was a transplant of 7 sheep done in 1948. In the 1950's the population was estimated to be 30, in the 1990's the population was estimated to be 80-100: the current population estimate is 40. The population has not recovered since the hard winter of 2007-2008. The reasons for the lack of recovery are not clear cut. There are numerous factors that could cause this; disease, lack of winter habitat, poor quality habitat from the lack of habitat management (no fires), predators and increased recreation pressure. We have not detected any increase in disease. Whatever the cause, the populations has been unable to rebound from the winter 2007-2008. Mountain Goats: There is only one population of goats in the Gore Valley. This herd spends its time far above the boundaries of town really does not use habitat adjacent to the town of Vail. However the population for this herd has been in decline for the last 4-6 years. Moose: The moose population in the Gore Valley (and all of Eagle County) has been increasing. Moose started showing up regularly in the Gore Valley around 1983. This increase was a result of moose moving from the North Park area. Moose have the ability to winter in much greater snow depths than do deer or elk, plus moose are able to utilize forage of a larger diameter. Moose also are not as prone to being disturbed by human activities as are deer and elk. Moose are more willing and able to stand and even defend their turf from human disturbance than are deer and elk. These factors combined have allowed the moose population to increase. However these same factors may be the same reasons that the moose population is close to reaching its "political" capacity as calls on moose in yards, town, or on recreation trails increase and there is a greater push by some to reduce the moose population because of these conflicts. Peregrine Falcon: Peregrine falcons have established at least one nest site within the Gore Valley in the last decade. The nest site has been fairly well buffered from human activities that could impact its success. However the increase in hiking, biking trails along with the increasing pressure to further develop the ski area for summer recreation could impact the success of this nest. Black Bears: October 16, 2018 - Page 138 of 411 Black bears have seen an increase in their population over the last 2 decades. The development of the Gore Valley has resulted in an increase in food sources and limited the impact from fall berry crop failures on the recruitment of bear cubs. Human trash, pet food, bird feeders, and planting of fruit producing landscaping have significantly increased the available food sources for black bears especially during critical periods. Some would consider this to be a success while others would not. The increase of human induced food sources has resulted in numerous bear/human conflicts. Although the conflicts have not resulted in any serious human injuries they have resulted in the death of numerous bears over the last 20 years (this includes road kill). Mountain Lions: Mountain lions have seen an increase in their population levels over the last decade. As with bears part of this increase in lion population can be linked to an increase in available prey species caused by the development of the Gore Valley. The same food sources mentioned in the section on black bears play a role in providing food for lions. The populations of raccoons, red fox, marmots, and various species of small mammals have increased from this boost in food availability due to human development. Along with the increase in human population, the population of household pets (cats and dogs) has increased. Lions have utilized household pets as another food source. This has resulted in an increase in human/lion conflicts. Although the conflicts have not resulted in any serious human injuries they have resulted in the death of several lions over the last 10 years (this includes road kill). Gore Creek: I think you have a fairly good picture of Gore Creek from all of the recent studies the town has been doing. As a fishery the lower half of Gore Creek is holding its own and still has all four species of trout. However as the studies the done by the town on Gore Creek show the creek is in trouble and without significant improvements in the overall health of the creek the fishery could easily decline. The upper section of Gore Creek and Black Gore Creek are not doing as well and could be further impacted from proposed improvements to 1-70 on Vail Pass. The possibility of the greater impact to Gore Creek is probably more related to weather patterns and the need for additional water for human use and snowmaking. Changes in weather patterns and runoff events could easily have the most significant long term impact on the watershed. The push to increase recreational events on Gore Creek and to manipulate the stream channel to allow for additional recreation activities or to extend the season of use could all have significant impacts on the ability of Gore Creek to function as a quality fishery. October 16, 2018 - Page 139 of 411 Is the Gore Valley sustainable for wildlife? I am sure there are other species that could be discussed but the data to provide defensible comments on these species is lacking. You first have to define what sustainable is when it comes to wildlife. Is it having a token population or is it having a robust population? Does a population in decline qualify? If the human/wildlife conflicts continue and wildlife is always the loser even on public lands is that sustainable? I don't see the wildlife populations in the Gore Valley as sustainable with the current level of development, recreational, and conflict pressure placed on wildlife. The species that are increasing generally have adapted to living next to people. These same species also generate extensive complaints from the public about human/wildlife conflicts or damage to property. Recreation is a driving economic force in Gore Valley and the surrounding communities. Theses recreational activities occur throughout the year and there is a push to increase recreational activities within the Gore Valley. As these demands for recreational opportunities continue to grow they result in higher impacts on natural resources, and potential increases in habitat fragmentation. Quality wildlife habitat includes food, water, shelter, space, and connectivity, which is critical to maintaining healthy wildlife populations. Large blocks of contiguous habitat are most likely to promote the long-term sustainability of a species. Habitat becomes fragmented as land use changes break the landscape into smaller more distinct "patches." These patches may not provide fundamental habitat requirements resulting in a diminished carrying capacity for the species across the landscape. Wildlife living within fragmented habitat is more vulnerable to stochastic population declines stemming from disease, increased rates of predation, or habitat loss or modifications. Most wildlife managers agree, with support from the scientific literature, that recreation has the potential to impact wildlife distribution and abundance (Goldstein et al 2010, Naylor et al. 2008, Keller and Bender 2007, Taylor and Knight 2003, Papouchis 2001, Joslin and Youmans 1999, Valdez and Krausman 1999). The "zone of influence" (ZQI) of recreational activities for wildlife may extend for some distance beyond the actual activity and will vary depending on habitat composition, topography, and a species' tolerance of human disturbance. I have attached an example of an analysis CPW did for the Town of Avon showing the impact from the development of a biking and hiking trail. Has you can see from Figure 1 the development of 3 trails in the Metcalf drainage results in the Toss of the entire drainage as effective mule deer habitat with just a 100 meter buffer on the trails. When you look at Figure 3 & 4 for elk at 500 and 1500 meter buffers you see the impacted area is substantial. You could run a similar analysis on the trails within the Gore Valley. October 16, 2018 - Page 140 of 411 When you review the discussion on deer, elk and bighorn sheep populations in the Gore Valley there is nothing on the horizon that is going to allow us to significantly increase those populations. These populations have been in decline for at least the last decade and often longer. The ability to do large scale habitat improvement projects for big game is becoming increasing difficult. Part of the issue is often the best habitat project is a controlled burn. As the residents in East Vail showed in the mid 1990's they have no stomach to have a controlled burn done behind their homes. The project to improve and increase the winter range for bighorn sheep was killed because they were unwilling to consider a controlled burn no matter how many fire trucks were available to protect their property in the event of the fire coming down hill. The demand within the Gore Valley for federal lands is overwhelming, whether it is to acquire them for employee housing, develop recreational trails in every drainage, add new commercial recreational events or to develop a four season resort with every type of recreational activity imaginable. All these uses impact wildlife and there is very little thought on how it will impact the available wildlife habitat or wildlife populations. The desire to manipulate the natural conditions in order to extend the ski and rafting season has a significant impact on wildlife. As we discussed in the Avon analysis, stress and behavioral changes are often not considered when looking at wildlife impacts. Just having habitat is not enough the habitat must be available and useable for wildlife. With the continual decline in most big game species within the Gore Valley over the last 36 years there is little reason to assume that this pattern will change to the point where you would consider these population to be sustainable and/or robust in perpetuity. If you need anything else please feel free to let me know.

They want to improve the connectivity, congestion, and diversity of the existing system but don't believe that Vail can be all things to all people. The group envisions combining modest updates to the trail system with increased reliance on the regional network of trails. They suggest constructing a pilot trail in a non -controversial location before embarking on phase 2 of trail building. Safety Mitigating user conflict is a large concern for the group. They worry that attracting more people to Vail with an improved trail system would increase conflict. Sustainability The participants want the trails in Vail to maintain their natural character. They are concerned that overuse on existing trails is disturbing the environment. Some participants are apprehensive about new trails that would detract from Vail's pristine natural environment. Also concerns with soft -surface trails adjacent to existing paved trails as being redundant. Accessibility The participants raise numerous issues with the accessibility of the trail system. They have concerns with trail parking, providing a wilderness-esque experience for users, and accessibility for elderly, children, and beginning mountain bikers. Diversity The participants all feel Vail needs a greater diversity in the ability level of its trails. Given that mountain biking is a popular summer activity, the town needs a novice mountain biking trail (North Trail is overly technical). For the aging population, walking trails of beginner ability level are in high demand. One participant envisions Vail as a mountain biking community, requiring a substantial expansion of the trail system. October 16, 2018 - Page 149 of 411 Connectivity The participants desire greater neighborhood access to local trails. They suggest smaller neighborhood trails rather than a large end-to-end trail connection. In building new trails, the town should focus on areas where there are not trails to provide greater access to the trail network. Work Session Participants mentioned the following options for trails: • Intermountain social trail as viable soft surface option • Supportive of Intermountain to Lionshead Trail. • Some participants were not in favor or formalizing the Vail Trail (easements. private property, IJSFS land) and felt it should be left as is. • Felt that the East Water Tank Trail was too steep as is for an 'easy" trail. Social Trails Some are opposed to adoption of the social trails to prevent overuse by visitors.

They are largely concerned with poor trail diversity and connectivity but are hesitant to build new trails to resolve those problems. Most are onboard with adding soft surface trails in the Town of Vail but recognize the obstacles to building easy soft -surface trails given the town's topography. Safe Participants express concerns about user conflict on trails with hikers and bikers but recognize the difficulty in establishing many rules with a significant visitor population. Some mention needs for safer lanes along roadways for pedestrians and bikers, especially for local children (East Vail, Aspen Road crossing 1-70, Piney Road). Sustainability Participant with experience in trail building stresses the unsustainability of Vail's trail system. The steep grade of the trails makes them challenging to maintain and unsuitable for many of the visitors. Participants see making the Buffehr Trail more rideable with switchbacks as an opportunity for a sustainable trail. The group wants to protect the forests' gems as Vail Resorts mountain becomes "Disneyworld." Accessibility Participants voice a great need for more signage on Vail trails. Multiple participants bring up the Gore Valley Trail as incredibly difficult to follow particularly through East Vail. Better signage could warn of potential conflicts with wildlife and other user types. October 16, 2018 - Page 151 of 411 Diversity Participants want trails for a variety of user types, ability levels, and lengths. One participant wants to make the Vail Trail a walking only tali and suggests new, easy, soft surface walking trails to make "valuable gems" accessible to elderly and children. others complain about lack of easy mountain bike trails in Vail and the difficulty of exposing young riders to the sport here. Some suggest that mountain biking networks are better suited for down valley towns, places with more families and more forgiving topography. Turning various trails into loops would spread out riders and allow riders to customize ride for given day. Connectivity Participants are frustrated with the difficulty of accessing and connecting local trails and locations in town. They want more convenient trail access points for hiking. biking to friends' houses, and trips to the market. Many in this group favor soft surface trail opportunities adjacent to paved trails. For visitors. participants want tourists to feel connected to Vail through greater opportunities to experience its natural beauty and interpretive signs that explain the history and features of the town. Work Session Participants mentioned the following options for trails: • Trails with coexisting hard and soft surface • Trail up Bald mountain that leaves right from town as hiking only • Lost Lake area as a potential soft surface trail area • Adjacent path next to Piney Road to access the spaces up there • Connection to Davos Road • Increasing public access in Spraddle Creek Ranch for trails • Making the Buffer trail more rideable and sustainable by creating switchbacks • The North Trail, near Sandstone, is incredibly steep. forcing people to turn around. By improving the grade. more trail users would make the loop, reducing bottlenecks. • Creating short soft surface loops by Beaver Ponds (Katsos Ranch area) that are easily accessible from paved paths • A spot near the berms as a great place for a small pump track or flow track and is near a bus stop • Concerns with mountain bike activity near the Memorial Park • This group has trail building and maintenance experience for many years and feels they can be a resource in the future Social Trails Participants have conflicting attitudes on the social trails. One participant believes residents are properly taking care of the trails and does not think the Forest Service would seize them. Another hopes Vail's demand for trails could be fulfilled with other trails, leaving social trails for locals. In opposition. another thought the social trails could alleviate the overuse on official trails. Participants ask Gregg whether the town could maintain social trails and he calls it feasible.

Community Member Kim Newbury Community Member John -Ryan Lockman Community Member A Vision for Trails in Vail: The participants want Vail's trails to be a great town amenity to meet the hiking demand from guests and locals. Yet they recognize that Vail cannot be a trail mecca and must take advantage of regional assets. With trail improvements, participants believe that the priorities must be accessibility and connecting trails to town to alleviate parking and overcrowding issues. Safe Participants present user conflict on existing trails as a significant issue. One participant expresses an immediate need to make Vail Trail pedestrian only because "mountain bikers are scary." Participants mention dogs and electric bikes on the Gore Valley Trail as an additional concern. A participant offers Whiskey Creek Trail in Minturn as an example of a trail with minimal conflict. Lack of safe biking routes to school are also a major concern. Sustainability Participants worry about the environmental impact of new trails. They prefer improving maintenance of existing trails and keeping the trail system close to the valley floor to minimize environmental impact. Most participants deem soft surface trails parallel to hard surface trails wasteful and hard on the environment. Accessibility Participants believe increasing signage and trail information would alleviate trail overcrowding and confusion. As possible solutions, they mention readily provided detailed frail maps, information about nearby trails at frequently crowded trailheads, and better education for hotels and websites about the variety of trails in the area. Consistent signage between the town and resort could improve connectivity and disperse visitors. Additional wayfinding, educational, and trail etiquette signs are inexpensive options. October 16, 2018 - Page 153 of 411 Diversity Participants express interest in greater trail diversity to alleviate current overcrowding. They suggest more (or greater awareness of) intermediate and accessible trails to minimize crowding on Booth Falls trail. Despite the town's steep topography, participants still feel that the town must provide greater options for families. Connectivity Participants want greater connectivity between town trails. residential areas in Vail. and nearby towns. By connecting biking and hiking opportunities to bus stops, people could park centrally and access more trails, reducing congestion on trails and in parking lots. Participants suggest greater continuity between Vail Mountain trails and town trails because visitors don't conceptually separate the two. A participant working in a local hotel calls connectivity incredibly important to guests. as seen in the popularity of the Berrypicker Trail that begins in Vail Village. Multiple participants mention trail connectivity with nearby towns as practical and a potential draw like the Rio Grande Trail that connects Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Work Session Participants mentioned the following options for trails: • Maintenance on the Matterhorn trail, largely a skiing trail, could open it to hiking • The Spraddle Creek trail, near the hotels, needs better maintenance to become a hiking trail • A loop trail for hotel guests above 1-70 on town land behind school as an accessible option • Extending Bald Mountain trail to be an in -town hiking option • Pump track at Donovan Park • Trail for East Vail heading up the mountain Social Trails Participants are in favor of adopting the social trails. They see it as an untapped resource to disperse tourists. The Water Tank Trail could be a nice place for East Vail residents to walk.

The participants are enthusiastic about the idea of a soft surface loop trail through the town to improve safety and connectivity. They envision the loop trail dramatically opening up options for midday walks, runs, and rides. Some believe Vail can be a mountain biking mecca with a well-maintained, diverse system while others recognize a lack of potential full-day opportunities. Safety The group has safety concerns on all types of thoroughfares in town. Participants find roadway biking, especially in the roundabouts, incredibly dangerous. On the Gore Valley Bike Path, headphone use and dogs on long leashes are making the route a "nightmare" for commuting cyclists. Soft surface trails also have user conflict between bikers and hikers and more separation of user groups seems necessary. Sustainability The group wants a sustainable trail system but has frustrations with environmental hurdles. They are interested in employing a town trail crew, like Breckenridge, to better maintain the system and minimize disturbances. They are concerned with diminishing wildlife habitat and roadkill but do not want wildlife considerations to be the sole consideration in designing a trail system. Some complain about the approval of development projects in wildlife habitats while trails, with far lesser impact, are rejected. Others suggest building wildlife corridors over/under the interstate as a trade-off for building new trails. October 16, 2018 - Page 155 of 411 Accessibility The group has some minor concerns with the difficulty of following the Gore Valley Trail and suggest better signage and striping. Diversity Participants, especially those directly involved with the tourism industry. state a serious need for more intermediate/beginner soft surface trails. Those trails could offer a natural tour of the valley for visitors wanting a mountain experience. Those soft surface trails could also offer another commuting route for locals. a route to school for kids, and easier trails for older residents. Some believe that terrain is not the obstacle to a diverse trail network, as other towns overcame their topography with funding and commitment. Towards funding, they suggest using more town tax dollars on the trail system. Connectivity The lack of connectivity of Vail's trail system is the participants' primary complaint. One threatens to leave Vail if the system did not improve. The group makes frequent comparisons to the connectivity of soft surface rec paths in other towns (Crested Butte, Telluride. Steamboat, Santa Fe). Those trails offer frequent access points to homes, schools, parks, and shops. The participants were all in favor of a valley loop trail with many feeder paths to villages. They also suggest a bike path to Minturn and more trails down from Vail Mountain to curb driving to hiking and biking excursions. Work Session Participants mentioned the following options for trails: • The Matterhorn Trail — needs more maintenance as it is largely washed out and could use more switchbacks • Better connector to existing trails from Stephens Park • New loop trail sufficiently elevated to be away from the interstate • Rely on the mountain to build easier trail loops • Trail down from Two Elk Trail to East Vail • Connector trail to Booth Creek trailhead from Vail Village Social Trails The group supports adopting the social trails and is frustrated with people who oppose adoption because they don't want to share their trail.

All participants are concerned with the environmental and wildlife impacts of new trail developments and want new trails to be sustainable and minimize such impacts. The group agrees that Vail cannot be a trails destination but a strong trail system should be an amenity for locals and visitors. The group largely believes that the Town must lead the system improvement because the resort has little incentive as the trail system does not bring in revenue. Overall, they believe that Trails in Vail must be a strategic process that fills system gaps rather than builds haphazardly. Safe The group is concerned with congestion, user conflict, and potential accidents on crowded bike paths and roundabouts. They suggest better signage, public education on trail etiquette, and potential bypasses of busy intersections. The participants also have concerns about e -bikes, though none feel it is an immediate problem in Vail. They worry about e -bike riders going too fast, riding where they are unprepared, and degrading the trail surface. Sustainability Sustainable trails are of prime importance to this group. Participants want the trails in the system to be at a lower grade to make it easier and cheaper to maintain trails. Considering new trails, they suggest soft surface trails given their lesser environmental impact. They believe a natural style trail design could be Vail's signature. The group also agrees that seasonal closures will be necessary for any new trails over the next 10 years. Some participants oppose new trail construction at all because of wildlife considerations. October 16, 2018 - Page 157 of 411 Accessibility The participants had few concerns about the accessibility of the trails themselves but believe that better signage and education could improve everyone's trail experience. To make the trails accessible and enjoyable for riders and hikers, they suggest signs explaining rules of the trail and involving bike shops to educate unfamiliar riders. Diversity The participants largely want to make Vail a better place to ride and walk for beginners, children and older users. Participants, especially the parents in the group, complain about the lack of easy trails for those user groups. Easier paths could also divert congestion from existing trails like the Gore Valley Trail and Booth Falls Trail. Participants express interest in a pump track as those in other towns are incredibly popular with children and families. One participant criticizes using children to justify new trails. Connectivity The participants feel that new trails must be designed to improve connectivity of the system. There is interest in the loop trail from the 1994 Open Lands Plan as it connects the entire town. Given that the 1994 plan is largely unfeasible, participants suggest making smaller connections and loops in town to reduce congestion. Work Session Participants mentioned the following options for trails: • A diversion trail to keep people away from Memorial Park • A connector loop trail around town • A connector trail between Davos and Avon • A trail for East Vail • North side trail between Middle Creek and Booth Creek • Improving the sustainability of the Buffehr Trail • Soft surface connection between Lionshead and Intermountain • Open to the idea of a novice trail loop on the upper bench of Donovan Park October 16, 2018 - Page 158 of 411 Town of Vail Community Wildlife Forum Sponsored by Town of Vail and Vail Symposium January 18, 2018 Panelists: Bill Andree, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Rick Thompson, Western Ecosystems Inc. Kelly Colfer, Western Bionomics LLC Jen Austin, U.S. Forest Service Rob Levine, Moderator Each panelist opened with an approximately 10 minute presentation. Bill Andree, CPW Bill Andree began with a presentation on the state of wildlife in Gore Valley. Bill described results of his experiences monitoring deer and elk populations from helicopter over his decades -long career. Bill identifies a dramatic decline in elk beginning in 2002. In unit 45, elk numbers counted from helicopter surveys dropped from close to 1000 in 2002 to 61 animals in 2016. Bill also delves into calves per 100 cows, an important number that indicates population numbers. In the 1980s and 1990s, herds had about 60 calves per 100 cows. That number dropped closer to 30-40 calves per 100 cows from 2009- 2016. Bill attributes much of these declines to human disturbance and offers results from a human disturbance study completed in Eagle County. Cow elk hunting licenses after 2012 were reduced by 75% in an effort to stop this disturbing trend, but population declines continued. Mule deer populations in the Gore Valley have also seen declines in recent decades. Due to growth in human population, recreation and development, population objectives set by CPW were reduced from 26,000 in the early 1980s to 13,500-16,500 in 2008. Mule deer populations are currently steady at the upper end of that objective range but this still represents a reduction of about 35%. Bill then addressed the East Vail bighorn sheep herd. The herd was about 30 in the 1950s, 80-100 in the 1990s and the population dropped after a difficult winter in 2007-08 to about 40 sheep. Even without hunting of this herd, CPW has not been able to get the herd to grow above about 40 animals. Bill attributes this to habitat loss and disturbance from humans. Bill then addresses bear -human conflicts in the Gore Valley. Conflicts have increased steadily since the early 1990s, when bear -resistant garbage cans began to be introduced in CO. CPW received over 350 phone calls about nuisance bears or bear -human conflicts in eastern Eagle County in 2017. October 16, 2018 - Page 159 of Statewide bear population numbers were estimated at 8,000-12,000 in the 1980s. In 1991, CDOW estimated 10-12,000 bears. Today, CPW offers a conservative estimate of 17,000-20,000 bears statewide. This represents a near doubling of bear populations in approximately 40 years. Mountain lion calls in Eagle County have also increased in recent years, from 11 in 2015 to 64 in 2017. The best population estimates Bill can offer on mountain lions comes from hunter harvest data. In 1980, 81 mountain lions were harvested, in 2001, 439 were harvested. Lions, like bears, have begun to see human communities and the dogs, cats, raccoons and foxes that live there as good food sources. Gore Range mountain goats have begun declining precipitously from 120+ in 2010 to about 60 in 2017. Moose are a success story in Vail and statewide. They first showed up in Vail around 1983. They are less prone to human disturbance than other wildlife species. Human conflicts are beginning to increase as moose populations grow and because many people do not realize what dangerous animals they can be and approach them for photo opportunities. Finally, peregrine falcons breed successfully in Eagle County in most years, however populations have not increased above two nesting pairs in the upper Eagle Valley, one in East Vail and one in Minturn. Rick Thompson, Western Ecosystems, Inc. Rick Thompson steps to the microphone to discuss habitat connectivity in the Gore Creek and Eagle River drainages. Rick defines "viable connectivity" as sufficient to allow a population of wildlife" to access all seasonal habitats within its home range." Most of his research addresses wide-ranging species like deer, elk and lions. Migration corridors designed by humans need to be of sufficient width for target species to use, for elk that needs to be 700-800 feet wide in forest, or 1,000 to 1,200 feet wide in open habitat. Rick describes a successful collaboration with Cordillera golf course designers to incorporate a wildlife corridor into that golf course which elk have been using since the 1990s. However, habitat connectivity requires more than narrow habitat corridors. True connectivity requires resting and bedding areas along migration paths which are difficult to carve out in a valley with increasing human populations and expanding development. Different species are impacted differently by development. Typically, larger animals with a larger range are more adversely impacted by development and direct habitat loss is only one impact of development. Animals may avoid areas where humans are present even if those areas have not been developed (trails, popular recreation areas, ski resorts). Road kill impacts wildlife populations. Displaced animals often move to other areas and compete with local animals there. The cumulative impacts of all these factors begins to explain declines in wildlife populations that Bill Andree described in his presentation. Rick has a process for assessing wildlife impacts of developing a specific parcel and how those impacts can be mitigated. In his opinion, the ideal approach involves avoiding and minimizing impacts to wildlife and compensating for impacts that cannot be avoided. In reality, this is an ideal approach, not one that can be implemented completely on any given parcel. Rick recommends minimizing wildlife impacts by locating development in non-native or lower value habitat, closer to existing disturbances such as 1-70. October 16, 2018 - Page 160 of He recommends increasing density of human development and concentrating impacts within existing town boundaries and already -developed areas. It's better to develop old hayfields than to develop existing wildlife habitat. There is also value to concentrating development in the corner of a parcel while leaving much of a parcel undisturbed for wildlife habitat. Local governments and town planners can also discourage tree and vegetation removal on parcels being developed. Buffers between human development and wildlife habitat and migration corridors can also minimize impacts of development to wildlife. Minimizing fencing can help preserve wildlife corridors and facilitate movement as well. Finally, Rick recommends wildlife management plans for communities that protect wildlife from disturbance from pets, include education and outreach to residents, bear -resistant trash container requirements and landscaping strategies. Rick also encourages developers and homeowners to take responsibility for enhancing habitat to "compensate" wildlife for habitat loss through revegetation, fertilization of wildlife habitat and wildlife friendly fire management. KeIIy Colfer, Western Bionomics LLC KeIIy begins by discussing the impacts of recreation to wildlife. The primary issue is energetic costs to wildlife when disturbed by humans. They burn calories when they run away and spend time fleeing rather than feeding. Disturbance extends beyond the edges of a trail or road. The estimated zone of disturbance, within which wildlife are likely to change their behavior due to human presence, varies from species to species. Factors such as frequency of human presence, time of day of human presence, type of recreation and vehicles also affect the likelihood that wildlife will be disturbed. Animals are more disturbed by unpredictable encounters such as off -trail hiking. Some animals may habituate to human presence on trails, but some studies have shown that elk, in particular, may not habituate to disturbance. Trail and road construction can also lead to introduction of noxious weeds and reduce the value of forage in wildlife habitat. Removal of dead trees and snags can eliminate breeding habitat for cavity nesters such as woodpeckers. Studies have come to conflicting conclusions about the different disturbances caused by bikers and hikers. Kelly sites two studies, one which concludes that bikers and hikers both disturb deer and elk in a radius of 200 meters. A second study concludes that hikers disturb wildlife out to 600 meters and bikers out to 1500 meters. KeIIy argues that there is a difference in how hikers and bikers impact wildlife, but cannot offer conclusive evidence of what specifically that difference is. Dogs can also be a major disturbance to wildlife, especially in calving areas. Winter range availability is the primary limiting factor for elk and deer, but transition ranges in spring and fall are also very important. Elk need to begin the winter with fat reserves equal to 9% of total body mass to survive the winter. Recreation in the fall can disturb grazing and impact the ability of deer and elk to fatten up. An animal's flight response, especially in the winter, can have major impacts on survival rates. KeIIy recommends winter trail closures to protect wildlife from disturbance. October 16, 2018 - Page 161 of Hawks and owls also have a wide disturbance buffer of about 0.5 miles during nesting season. It is crucial to think of nesting habitat when locating and constructing new trails. Trail construction also impacts endangered boreal toads through habitat loss and spread of fungus. Kelly concludes by emphasizing the importance of trail closures on winter range and in calving habitats. Jen Austin, USFS Jen sees her role as more of a habitat manager and leaves direct management of wildlife populations to CPW. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires an assessment of the impacts of a project before it can begin to be implemented. Forest service staff strives to ensure that the project will be in line with state and federal regulations and the District's own management plan. The process involves an interdisciplinary team from the USFS that may include foresters, wildlife biologists, fisheries biologists and others depending on expected impacts of the project. This team looks for red flags to protect habitat and wildlife, such as whether there is an active raptor nest in the proposed project area. If data is absent, new studies may need to be done to help inform the decision-making process. The project can be contained and buffered to protect wildlife habitat, nests and other resources. The interdisciplinary team uses the best available science and public input to estimate what impacts of a given project will be on wildlife populations and individual animals. How are animals impacted by human interface or activity, particularly in ways that may not be evident to a casual observer? For example, if an animal doesn't immediately flee at the site of a human, are there impacts? What are they? Bill Andree: Generally, if an animal changes its behavior, you're too close. What is less obvious is the stress response of the animal. Stress increases heart rate and calorie output. Even if it doesn't change its behavior, you may have disturbed that animal. Some ungulate spend as much as 90% of their time resting to conserve calories. The act of standing up increases calorie output by 25% compared to lying down. Impacts increase when animals are in poor condition. This includes females in spring who are in the last trimester of pregnancy. Kelly Colfer: Ads that animals that don't flee may show signs of habituation, especially concerning species like bears, mountain lions, moose and coyotes that may cause human conflict. Rick Thompson: Big game on winter range are already starving. They are in a caloric deficit and depend on their fat reserves because adequate forage is not available. Elk have about 75 days of fat reserves to get through the winter. Animals are less likely to respond to disturbance (flee) when snow is deep, weather is cold, forage is scarce, or fat reserves are dwindling. Jen Austin: Flushing a bird has impacts on nesting birds, predation, nest parasitization etc. October 16, 2018 - Page 162 of What does the research show about the different impacts of urban development such as housing vs. the impacts of recreation such as the development of trails. And how do you measure those impacts? And how reliable and valid are the available studies? Rick Thompson: Concludes that urban development has the greater impact. Habitat is permanently lost 24/7. Recreation impacts are mostly diurnal disturbances and direct habitat losses associated with trails are generally insignificant. Wildlife avoid the disturbance, not the trail. Even if hikers and bikers have the same disturbance, bikers travel farther so they likely encounter and disturb more wildlife in a given unit of time. • Recreationists rarely view themselves as having a degrading impact on the environment. • Management plans attempt to allow coexistence • Managers know what works, what doesn't and why • When trail siting and management don't work, the trail and associated wildlife impacts generally remain • It is rare for trails, once built, to be decommissioned even when negative effects are known and documented. Bill Andree: Housing development has an impact on wildlife. Study from 1980 to 2010 showed that housing had a higher impact on wildlife than energy development. Mule deer populations are declining as a result of development across the west. Local study shows impacts from recreationists in Dowd Junction. Studies don't necessarily show the impacts of recreation on the scale we see in this valley, no nighttime activity, smaller groups of people etc. Studies are valuable but are not complete. Ninety-three percent of studies concluded an impact to wildlife from recreation. Fifty-nine percent showed negative impact to wildlife. Positive impacts were usually to corvids, rodents etc. "It doesn't matter how you recreate. If you're out there, you have an impact." Jen Austen: The impact of dogs and cats must be taken into account. Cats are major predators of native wildlife. Need for more research on large landscapes and research on interactive impacts of different disturbances. Studies also focus more on wildlife behavior than on population -level impacts. Studies also often lack a "control". We know that the decline in wildlife populations I soften described as "death by 1,000 cuts," all these little impacts just adding up. However, is there a last straw to sustaining wildlife populations? If so, what is it? Rick Thompson: Rick is not sure there is a last straw for the species being addressed here. These species are not at risk of extinction or extirpation from Eagle Valley. But declines in habitat availability and habitat effectiveness are likely the biggest factors, especially if exacerbated by a harsh winter. Other major causes are habitat fragmentation, disease, predation and road kill. Kelly Colfer: Thinks we can avoid the last straw by planning with wildlife in mind, by maintaining corridors and critical habitat. October 16, 2018 - Page 163 of Bill Andree: Believes there is a last straw. Habitat loss is the first that comes to mind. It's ok in our culture to pen in wildlife, but we need to begin to contain human development as well. Most big game species are in decline in this valley. Is that what we would call sustainable? What tools do we have to protect wildlife from the impacts of recreation development? Bill Andree: The tool is avoidance. Avoid the impact when possible, minimize the impact otherwise. Mitigation is a fallback. Conservation easements and fee title are also tools, but they are expensive and not necessarily ideal mitigation techniques due to distance. Finally, seasonal closures are an important tool. The problem is that people don't follow those rules. "Place first" idea from Outside magazine: maybe we need to begin to set aside areas for wildlife and stay out of those areas. "What we do is a luxury, those animals are just trying to survive." Kelly Colfer: Developers want to maximize revenue. Routt County uses a valuable planning tool to incentivize developers to set aside land for wildlife habitat. Jen Austin: Support local corridor and connectivity planning projects, help fund these programs. USFS put a couple of wildlife cameras on the North Trail in Vail. Showed over 200 people used the North Trail in a span of 10 days during elk calving closure. Rick Thompson: Education is the key tool, especially for planners. Wildlife should be considered early in the planning process. Any development, even optimally designed, contributes to decline in wildlife habitat. Seasonal closures must be enforced. How would you rate the effectiveness of existing wildlife corridors in Vail? Bill Andree: The Dowd Junction underpass was one of the first developed in CO. We've learned a lot from it. It's not that effective because of its design but we're better off with it than without it. East Vail span bridges are very effective and should be recreated later. Jen Austin: Fencing to direct wildlife to passages is crucial. Bill Andree: Fences are really built to protect motorists, not wildlife. However, they can save 25-30 elk per year in the Edwards -Avon stretch alone. Lack of movement across the highway can have an impact on access to seasonal habitats and genetic diversity within populations. Rick Thompson: West Vail Pass bridges are very effective for all species. It's important that eastbound and westbound bridges be adjacent as they are on West Vail Pass, as contracted to offset bridges on East Vail Pass. Vail Pass is the best example in the Southern Rockies of wildlife passages across a highway. They are very costly though. What are some examples of communities that have thrived alongside wildlife populations and what can we learn from those examples? Bill Andree: The best thing that's worked in some places is to purchase and set aside a big chunk of private land for wildlife. Manage these areas specifically for wildlife and minimize recreation. October 16, 2018 - Page 164 of Concentrating animals in a location like that can increase risk of disease being spread. Animals can also have an impact on habitat and resources when concentrated in an area and concentrating prey species can also attract predators. Kelly Colfer: Conservation easements can be effective and have not been thoroughly discussed in this forum. It's a win-win for wildlife and property owners. What caused the demise of the Minturn elk herd? Bill Andree: Primarily the number of people but increase in predator populations on elk calves also had an impact. Predators alone wouldn't have that impact alone, it's compounded by increased human development and recreation disturbance. Rick Thompson: The best winter ranges are on south facing slopes at lower elevations. That leads to a natural conflict with human development. Winter ranges are the most important habitats to protect, but summer, breeding and transitional ranges are all important to protect. Winter range is a limiting factor for wildlife, but how has expanded recreation in Colorado impacted summer range? Bill Andree: Wildlife love the high alpine country on Grouse Mountain, Homestake and Camp Hale in the summer. What can the Town of Vail do to protect wildlife habitat in our community? Rick Thompson: Migration corridors within the town boundaries would be valuable. Be an active stakeholder and participant to protect bighorn sheep range in East Vail. The winter range could be better managed. There is an enormous need to protect the mud springs underpass for mule deer migrations, especially from development on private property to the north. Bill Andree: For what's left in the Gore Valley, he's not very optimistic. Vail should look beyond its borders and seek out conservation easements and fee title purchases on wildlife range outside Gore Valley. We also need to begin to set areas aside for wildlife and stop fragmenting the small patches of habitat that remain within the town limits. And protect the mud springs underpass in Dowd Junction for mule deer migration. Jen Austin: Conservation easements to protect remaining habitat and support for Eagle County Safe Passages Project. Finally, support for the seasonal closures.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST Pastor Tim Wilbanks, President of the Vail Religious Foundation, requests permission to proceed through the Design Review process for a prayer/meditation garden to be located on Town of Vail property (Tract J, Vail Village Filing No. 1), adjacent to the Vail Interfaith Chapel at 19 Vail Road. The applicant requests permission to proceed through the Design Review Board process and, if approved, enter into a license agreement with the Town of Vail for the improvement. The proposed improvement would be located on the northwest part of tract It should be noted that the Vail Town Council is not being asked to approve the improvements, their location or design, but rather to authorize the applicant to move forward with a planning application that utilizes town owned property for semi -private uses. II. BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL The Vail Interfaith Chapel was constructed in 1968 with the dedication of the Chapel occurring in November of 1969. In 1998, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC), following an approval from the Town Council to proceed through the process, approved a conditional use permit for an expansion that encroaches onto the adjacent town owned property. As part of this review, it was discovered that an existing portion of the original chapel also encroaches onto town property. There has been confusion in the past related to Tract J, the Town -owned property immediately to the south of the Chapel property. Tract J is not part of the Streamtract parcel but is rather a separate parcel, zoned General Use, as shown on the map below. October 16, 2018 - Page 170 of This map, without the zoning layer, shows the relationship of the Chapel parcel, Tract J and the Streamtract. Town of Vail Page 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 171 of Please refer to the applicant's narrative (Attachment A), site photos (Attachment B) and an exhibit that demonstrates the existing encroachments into Tract J (Attachment C), included for reference. The project is not currently scheduled for review by the Design Review Board. Review is anticipated later this fall. III. ACTION REQUESTED The Community Development Department requests that the Town Council evaluate the proposal to utilize Town of Vail property for the purpose of a prayer/meditation garden. This utilization of Town of Vail property would be subject to the terms of a license agreement and could be discontinued if required to do so. The Community Development Department recommends that the Vail Town Council instructs Town Staff to: • Sign the development application on behalf of the property owner and permit the project to proceed through the development review process for the proposed improvement. IV. ATTACHMENTS A. Applicant's narrative B. Property photos C. Exhibit of existing encroachments Town of Vail Page 3 October 16, 2018 - Page 172 of Narrative: In November the Vail chapel will begin its 50 year celebration. Ground breaking for the chapel was in November of 1968 and the first services were held in November of 1969. The Vail Religious Foundation is planning a yearlong celebration with many different events to include all of our congregations and other groups that we host at the chapel. One of our main objectives will be to create a Prayer/Meditation garden on the creek side of our ministry center. This Garden will help celebrate the first 50 years of service to our community and begin the next 50 years of service to those who will be here in the future. It is our desire that this garden will help promote a peaceful environment for people to escape for rest, pause to reflect, and rejuvenate for life. We also hope that this garden will beautify our creek bank and make it more appealing for all who visit. The garden will also symbolize life and growth. Just as the chapel ministry has grown over the past 50 years so we are setting the model for future beauty and ministry for the next chapter of life. We are respectfully asking the town of Vail for permission to establish this garden on town of Vail Property for the benefit of those who will continue to make Vail the great place we all love.

BACKGROUND: A public/public/private partnership (P4) was forged to create this regional housing opportunity. The Vail Town Council, Eagle County Commissioners, and Gore Creek Partners, L.L.C. collaborated extensively on this deed restriction acquisition in response to the growing need for housing within the Eagle River Valley. If approved, the Town of Vail will acquire a total of 23 deed -restrictions, Eagle County a total of 13 deed restrictions, and Gore Creek Partners, L.L.C. will manage the leasing of the 36 homes as well as verify compliance with the terms of the deed -restriction, annually. As a result of this partnership, It is likely more than 75 Eagle County residents and their families will directly benefit as a result of this "first of its kind" partnership. ATTACHMENTS: Description Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 177 of TOWN OF VAIL ¢ Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: George Ruther, Director of Housing Date: October 16, 2018 Re: Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018, a resolution of the Vail Town Council directing the Town Manager to execute the purchase agreement with West Edwards Apartments, L.L.C. to acquire a total of 23 resident -occupied deed -restrictions at the 6 West Apartments, located in Edwards, Colorado, and setting forth details in regards thereto. I. Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a summary of Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018, a resolution of the Vail Town Council directing the Town Manager to execute the purchase agreement with West Edwards Apartments, L.L.C. to acquire a total of 23 resident -occupied, deed -restrictions at the 6 West Apartments in Edwards, Colorado. The objective of this deed -restriction purchase acquisition is to address the growing need for resident -occupied, deed -restricted homes for persons employed within the Town of Vail. Approval of this resolution accomplishes the following: • Furthers the Vail Town Council's critical goals, initiatives and priorities and of "growing a thriving and balanced community", and "enhancing community living and amenities by exploring regional opportunities for housing", • Aligns with the following housing policies recently adopted by the Vail Town Council: #1 Housing IS Infrastructure - Deed -restricted homes are critical infrastructure in Vail. #2 Housing Partners — The Town will use public/private partnerships and actively pursue local and regional solutions to increase the supply of deed -restricted homes. #4 Leverage Financial Strength — The Town will use its financial strength and acumen to acquire deed -restrictions. • Advances the Town's vision to be the Premier International Mountain Resort Community and helps to achieve the housing goal of acquiring 1,000 new deed -restrictions by the year 2027. A public/public/private partnership (P4) was forged to create this regional housing opportunity. The Town of Vail, Eagle County, and Gore Creek Partners, L.L.C. collaborated extensively on this deed 1 October 16, 2018 - Page 178 of TOWN OF VAIL ¢ Memorandum restriction acquisition in response to the growing need for housing within the Eagle River Valley. If approved, the Town of Vail will acquire a total of 23 deed -restrictions, Eagle County a total of 13 deed restrictions, and Gore Creek Partners, L.L.C. will manage the leasing of the 36 homes as well as verify compliance with the terms of the deed -restriction, annually. As a result of this partnership, It is likely more than 75 Eagle County residents and their families will directly benefit as a result of this "first of its kind" partnership. II. Background Mr. Steve Spessard, of Gore Creek Partners, LLC, a Vail -based real estate development entity, is currently constructing the 6 West Apartments in Edwards, Colorado. Construction of the new homes started earlier this spring and is progressing towards completion with the first homes ready for occupancy in November, 2018. Similar to Chamonix Vail, the developer has selected a modular approach to construction to build the 6 West Apartments to increase delivery to market. The 6 West Apartments will consist of 120 homes in multiple three-story tall buildings on a 5.7 acre site. As approved, the development will include 48 one bedroom homes, 54 two bedroom homes and 18 three bedroom homes. All of the homes are available for -rent at current market rates. Presently 84, or 70%, of the homes are deed -restricted for resident occupancy pursuant to a development plan approval granted by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners. The remaining 36, or 30%, of the homes are non -deed -restricted and available to the free market. III. Summary of the Agreement Mr. Spessard, on behalf of Gore Creek Partners, L.L.C., the Vail Town Council, and the Vail Local Housing Authority have structured an agreement granting the Town of Vail the right to acquire 23 resident - occupied deed -restrictions at the 6 West Apartments, located in Edwards, Colorado. In summary, the terms of the agreement include: • 23 homes shall be perpetually deed -restricted for resident occupancy to persons and their families working a minimum of 30 hours per week at a business(es) licensed within the Town of Vail • The home type mix shall include 14 one bedrooms, 6 two bedrooms and 3 three bedrooms. • First leasing preference shall be granted to Town of Vail municipal employees followed by a second preference granted to employees working at a licensed business within the Town of Vail. • A subordinated loan agreement shall be executed to guarantee the deed -restriction survives in the event of foreclosure. • Annual lease renewal on date(s) certain annually, with minimum 10 -day notification period to ensure qualified persons interested in leasing are provided adequate notice of pending vacancies. 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 179 of TOWN OF VAIL ¢ Memorandum • Market rate rental structure. • Annual audit and compliance affidavit verification required of West Edwards Apartments, L.L.C. • Vail employee/employer marketing to be provided through 6 West Leasing & Management Office. • $27,173.91 per deed -restriction, or $625K total for 23 resident -occupied deed -restrictions IV. Benefits of Purchasing Deed Restrictions There are numerous benefits of the Town of Vail purchasing deed -restrictions at the 6 West Apartments. While nearly all points are debatable, to facilitate a discussion, the Housing Department has identified a number of benefits to consider when determining the whether the Town will proceed with this deed - restriction acquisition. The Vail Town Council may choose to consider the following reasons for purchasing deed -restrictions are 6 West: • Results in a successful Public/Public/Private Partnership. • Not all businesses are positioned to construct employee housing units and this acquisition facilitates the creation of new homes specifically intended for persons employed in Vail. • The Town's investment in deed -restricted homes has demonstrated a positive ROI. • Town of Vail citizens are encouraging the Town Council to pursue down valley opportunities. • This acquisition will begin to establish a down valley deed -restriction value and process. • This purchase demonstrates the first of its kind regional collaboration. • Homes and transportation are intertwined — 6 West Apartments are centrally located on a regional transportation spine. • The development is entitled, permitted, under construction, and will be ready for occupancy in November, 2018. • As fiduciaries of public monies, there is no developer or financing risk associated with the acquisition. • Deed -restrictions will be purchased upon delivery of a certificate of occupancy from the developer and proof of recording with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder's Office. • This purchase protects and preserves the homes in perpetuity for resident housing. • Minimal cash outlay compared to the overall net benefit. • One for one match with Eagle County increases purchasing power and improves results. V. Staff Recommendation The Town of Vail Housing Department, along with the Vail Local Housing Authority, recommends the Vail Town Council passes Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018, as presented and read. Justification for this recommendation has been outlined in Sections I & IV of the staff memorandum. 3 October 16, 2018 - Page 180 of RESOLUTION NO. 38 Series of 2018 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A DEED RESTRICTION PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH 6 WEST APARTMENTS LLC WHEREAS, 6 West Apartments, LLC ("Developer") is the owner of certain real property more legally described as Lot 1, Final Plat of the 6 West Apartments Subdivision, Eagle County, Colorado (the "Property"); WHEREAS, Developer is developing the Property for residential housing (the "Development"); and WHEREAS, Developer and the Town wish to enter into a Deed Restriction Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") to place certain restrictions on the use and occupancy of 23 residential dwelling units in the Development for the benefit of the Town at a price of $27,173.91 per Town unit.

WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of certain real property more particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"); WHEREAS, Owner is developing the Property for rental housing (the "Development"); and WHEREAS, Owner has agreed to restrict 23 of the residential dwelling units being constructed in the Development as set forth in this Deed Restriction. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants hereinafter set for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Defined Terms. For purposes of this Deed Restriction, the following terms shall have the following meanings: "Bona Fide Business" means a business that holds a valid and current business license, or pays sales taxes, or is otherwise generally recognized as a legitimate business. "Principal Place of Residence" means the dwelling in which one's habitation is fixed and to which a person, whenever he or she is absent, has a present intention of returning after an absence therefrom. In determining what is a principal place of residence, the Town and Owner shall consider the criteria set forth in C.R.S. § 31-10-201(3), as amended. "Qualified Household" means one Qualified Resident or a group of persons that contains at least one Qualified Resident (who must sign the lease as a tenant). A Qualified Household may have occupants that are not Qualified Residents (and who may also sign the Town Unit lease as tenants) as long as at least one occupant who has signed the lease is a Qualified Resident. The Town shall always be a Qualified Household, so that the Town may lease any Town Unit at any time. 8 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 188 of "Qualified Resident" means a natural person who occupies a Town Unit as his or her Principal Place of Residence and works an average of 30 hours or more per week at one or more Bona Fide Businesses in Eagle County, Colorado and derives 75% of his or her total annual gross income from employment at such business. For example, if a person worked 60 hours per week for one half of the year as such a business in Eagle County, Colorado, and worked elsewhere for the other half of the year, such person would constitute a Qualified Resident. "Rental Guidelines" means the guidelines attached as Exhibit B hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, as amended. "Town Units" means the Units that are subject to this Deed Restriction. The Town Units are not fixed, specific Units, but may float, as long as, once the Development is complete, the total number of Town Units subject to this Deed Restriction is equal at all times to 23 (14 one - bedroom, 6 two-bedroom and 3 three-bedroom). "Units" means all of the residential dwelling units constructed on the Property. 2. Binding Effect. This Deed Restriction shall be recorded in the office of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder, and shall constitute a covenant and an equitable servitude running with the Property as a burden thereon, for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Town, Owner and any subsequent owner of the Property. This Deed Restriction shall bind Owner and all occupants of the Town Units. Each and every occupant of a Town Unit shall be personally obligated hereunder for the full and complete performance and observance of all covenants, conditions and restrictions contained herein that are applicable to such occupant during such occupant's respective period of occupancy of a Town Unit. Each and every conveyance of the Property or a portion thereof, or interest therein, for all purposes, shall be deemed to include and incorporate by this reference, the covenants contained in this Deed Restriction, even without reference to this Deed Restriction in any document of conveyance. This Deed Restriction is superior to each mortgage, deed of trust, and any other lien recorded against all or part of the Property, and by recording a mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien against all or any part of the Property, the lienor acknowledges and agrees that its mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien is subordinate to this Deed Restriction, and that this Deed Restriction cannot be terminated, extinguished, or otherwise affected by a foreclosure of the mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien. 3. Occupancy and Use. a. Subject to the Rental Guidelines, each Town Unit shall be occupied at all times by a Qualified Household. b. No business activity shall occur on or in a Town Unit, other than as permitted within the zoning district applicable to the Property. 4. Town Unit Lease. No Town Unit shall be leased or occupied without a lease. Each Town Unit shall have only one lease at any one time. When leasing Town Units, Owner shall not discriminate between Town employees, employees of businesses in the Town, and other 9 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 189 of tenants with respect to the rent charged, the amount of the security deposit required, or any other material lease terms. Each Town Unit lease shall include a clear reference to this Deed Restriction and a brief summary of this Deed Restriction, including the remedies upon a violation or breach of the terms of this Deed Restriction, and shall incorporate the terms and conditions of this Deed Restriction. 5. Right To Terminate Lease. Nothing herein shall prevent Owner from terminating the lease of a Qualified Household, or taking any other legal action against a Qualified Household based upon any tenant's breach of the terms of the lease; provided that if a tenant of a Town Unit misrepresents his or her status as a Qualified Resident, Owner shall terminate the lease in addition to any other available remedies. 6. Inspection. In a non -emergency situation, if the Town or Owner has reasonable cause to believe that an occupant of a Town Unit is violating any provision of this Deed Restriction, the Town or Owner may inspect the Town Unit between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, after providing the occupant with no less than 24 hours written notice, which notice may be given by posting on the front door of the applicable Town Unit. Nothing herein shall preclude the Town or Owner from accessing a Town Unit in an emergency situation where there is an imminent threat to person(s) or property. 7. Annual Verification. No later than February 1st of each year, beginning in the year following the first year of occupancy of the Property, Owner shall submit a written statement to the Town including the following information and certifying that such information is true and correct to the best of Owner's knowledge and belief: a. A list of tenants who occupied the Town Units in the prior calendar year and the evidence submitted by such tenants to establish that they were Qualified Residents and/or Qualified Households; b. A copy of the lease form currently used for the Town Units; and c. Copies (which may be electronic) of all application information submitted by Qualified Residents actually occupying Town Units. 8.

Superior to Liens. This Deed Restriction will remain in full force and event, and will not be extinguished or invalidated by, the foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien that is recorded after this Deed Restriction, or that is subordinated to this Deed Restriction, or any conveyance of the Property in lieu of any such a foreclosure. 10 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 190 of 10.

If the violation if not cured within such time, the violation shall be considered a violation of this Deed Restriction by Owner. 11. Remedies. a.

Each occurrence is hereby deemed to be a separate violation of this Deed Restriction, and the penalty may be imposed for each and every day during any portion of which a violation is found to have been committed, continued or permitted by Owner. This penalty shall not apply if it is discovered that an occupant provided false information to Owner, Owner reasonably relied on such false information, and the false information caused the violation. c.

Purpose. The purpose of these Rental Guidelines is to set forth the occupancy eligibility requirements for the Town Units pursuant to the Deed Restriction dated , 2018. 2. Definitions. All capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Deed Restriction. 3. Administration. In accordance with the Deed Restriction, Owner shall administer these Rental Guidelines, including, without limitation, making determinations regarding the eligibility of applicants to rent and occupy each Town Unit. Prior to leasing or renewing a lease for a Town Unit, each tenant must sign an individual acknowledgement of acceptance of the terms of these Rental Guidelines and the Deed Restriction. 4. Qualified Households. Subject to paragraph 8 of these Rental Guidelines, to be eligible for consideration to lease a Town Unit, the occupants must qualify as a Qualified Household. 5. Application. To become a Qualified Resident, an individual must first provide the following information on an application to be provided by Owner, and all applications and accompanying documentation shall become the property of Owner and the Town and will not be returned to the applicant: a. Verification that the applicant is a Qualified Resident, including verification of the applicant's current employment and income (e.g., pay stubs, employer name, address, telephone number, and other appropriate documentation); b. A valid form of identification, such as a driver's license, state -issued identification, passport or military identification; c. A statement from the applicant that the applicant derives at least 75% of the applicant's total annual gross income from employment at one or more Bona Fide businesses in Eagle County (beyond obtaining this certification, Owner has no obligation to confirm that an applicant derives at least 75% of his or her total annual gross income from employment in Eagle County); d. Any other documentation that Owner or the Town deems necessary to make a determination of eligibility; and e. A statement signed by the applicant certifying, acknowledging, and agreeing: that all information submitted in such application is true; that the applicant has read the Deed Restriction and these Guidelines and agrees to comply with them; that the applicant understands that he or she may not sublet the Town Unit; that the applicant authorizes Owner to verify any and all past or present employment and residency information and all other information submitted by an applicant; and that the applicant understands that, as set forth in 18 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 198 of the Deed Restriction, Owner reserves the right to review any applications and take any appropriate action regarding such application. 6. Interpretation. In evaluating an application to lease a Town Unit, Owner shall be guided by the following: a. An applicant's physical place of employment is controlling, not the mailing address; b. Claims of employment by an applicant that are unable to be verified by Owner will not be utilized in determining an applicant's eligibility; and c. Seasonal work and part-time work alone may not be adequate to meet the minimum 30 hours per week average annual requirement, but may augment other employment to meet the minimum eligibility requirements. 7. Occupancy. a. The availability of each Town Unit shall be publicly advertised in the Town at least 10 days prior to the expiration of the then current lease term. In addition, Owner shall provide the Town with written notice of each upcoming vacancy of a Town Unit at least 10 days prior to the end of the then -current lease term. b. Subject to these Guidelines, at all times, each Town Unit shall be occupied by a Qualified Household. c. A Town Unit may be vacant during repairs and renovations, but Owner may not disproportionately designate vacant Units as Town Units. For example, because approximately 19% of the Units at the Property are Town Units, if there are 5 vacant Units at the Property at a particular time, only one of the vacant Units may be a Town Unit. follows: d. The preference for leasing/occupancy for each available Town Unit shall be as The Town or a Qualified Household that includes a Qualified Resident who is employed by the Town; but if Owner makes reasonable efforts to lease the Town Unit to all such Qualified Residents for 7 days and finds no such Qualified Residents, then to A Qualified Household that includes a Qualified Resident who is employed by a Bona Fide Business located within the Town's boundaries; but if Owner makes reasonable efforts to lease the Town Unit to all such Qualified Residents for 7 days and finds no such Qualified Residents, then to iv. A Qualified Household that includes a Qualified Resident who is not employed within the Town's boundaries. 19 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 199 of e. The Town Units shall be leased for 12 -month periods commencing between September 1 and October 1 of each year; provided that if a tenant vacates a Town Unit prior to the end of the lease term, Owner shall make reasonable efforts to re -lease the Town Unit with a term ending between the next August 31 and September 30, and if Owner is unable to do so, Owner shall provide written notice to the Town, including a copy of the lease. When a Town Unit has a lease with a term not consistent with this Section, Owner shall, as soon as practicable, switch the Town Unit to another Unit that is available, or that already is leased to a Qualified Household, but is not designated as a Town Unit, while keeping the allocation of Town Units at 14 one -bedroom Units, 6 two-bedroom Units, and 3 three-bedroom Units. f. The Town, as a Qualified Household, may transfer a Town Unit lease to another Qualified Household at any time. g. The Town, as a Qualified Household, may sublease a Town Unit to another Qualified Household at any time. 8. Leasing of Town Units to Non -Qualified Households. If there are no eligible Qualified Households available to lease a particular Town Unit, Owner may lease such Town Unit to occupants other than a Qualified Household, but only upon written approval by the Town's Housing Coordinator, after a finding that extraordinary circumstances and hardship exist to justify such arrangement. 9. Misrepresentation. Any misrepresentation by an applicant in any submittal shall disqualify such applicant from being eligible to lease a Town Unit, and shall be grounds for eviction if such misrepresentation is revealed after such applicant's occupancy. 10. Inspection of Documents. The Town may inspect any documents submitted with any application for Qualified Resident status pursuant to Section 5 hereof, at any time during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice. In addition, upon inspection, if the Town reasonably determines that additional documents are necessary to verify Qualified Resident or Qualified Household status, the Town may request additional documents. 11. Retirement. An individual who occupies a Town Unit as his or her Principal Place of Residence and was a Qualified Resident when the individual moved into the Town Unit, but then retires during the term of his or her lease, and is 60 years of age or older at the time of retirement, and who, for the 5 years immediately prior to retirement, worked an average of 30 hours or more per week at a business in Eagle County that held a valid and current business license, or paid sales taxes, or was otherwise generally recognized as a legitimate business, may continue to occupy the Town Unit under a Town Lease, as extended or renewed. 12. Disability. An individual who occupies a Town Unit as his or her Principal Place of Residence and was a Qualified Resident when the individual moved into the Town Unit, but then becomes disabled during the term of his or her lease and the disability prevents the individual from working an average of 30 hours or more per week may continue to occupy the Town Unit under a Town Lease, as extended or renewed. 20 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 200 of 21 Resolution No. 38, Series of 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 201 of TOWN Of UAIL VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. 40, Series of 2018, A Resolution Opposing Amendment 74 PRESENTER(S): Matt Mire, Town Attorney ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or deny Resolution No. 41, Series of 2018 BACKGROUND: State voters will have the opportunity at the November 6 statewide general election to vote on Amendment 74, which seeks to amend the Colorado Constitution to require that "just compensation" be paid for any government law or regulation deemed to reduce the fair market value of private property. Amendment 74 has been written and is being funded by the oil and gas industry to amend the Colorado Constitution and threaten the ability of state and local governments to provide basic governmental services. Amendment 74 declares that any state or local government law or regulation that "reduces" the "fair market value" of a private parcel is subject to "just compensation." Amendment 74 would place laws, ordinances, and regulations designed to protect public health and safety, the environment, our natural resources, public infrastructure, and other public resources in jeopardy. ATTACHMENTS: Description Resolution No. 40, Series of 2018 CML Amendment 74 October 16, 2018 - Page 202 of RESOLUTION NO. 40 Series of 2018 A RESOLUTION OPPOSING AMENDMENT 74 WHEREAS, state voters will have the opportunity at the November 6 statewide general election to vote on Amendment 74, which seeks to amend the Colorado Constitution to require that "just compensation" be paid for any government law or regulation deemed to reduce the fair market value of private property; WHEREAS, local government services are essential to the residents of Vail; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 has been written and is being funded by the oil and gas industry to amend the Colorado Constitution and threaten the ability of state and local governments to provide basic governmental services; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 declares that any state or local government law or regulation that "reduces" the "fair market value" of a private parcel is subject to "just compensation;" WHEREAS, under the current Colorado Constitution, Article II, Section 15, a property owner already has the right to seek compensation from state or local governments if forced to bear "public" burdens that, in all fairness, should be borne and paid for by the public as a whole; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 would expand this well-established concept by requiring the government- i.e., the taxpayers- to compensate private property owners for virtually any decrease whatsoever in the fair market value of their property, even if temporary or incidental, if the decrease is traceable to any government law or regulation; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 would severely limit the ability of Colorado's state and local governments to take actions that might indirectly, unintentionally, or minimally affect the fair market value of any private property; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 would drastically diminish the ability of our state and local governments to adopt- let alone attempt to enforce reasonable regulations, limitations, and restrictions upon private property; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 would place laws, ordinances, and regulations designed to protect public health and safety, the environment, our natural resources, public infrastructure, and other public resources in jeopardy; WHEREAS, Amendment 74 would make inherently dangerous or environmentally damaging activities prohibitively costly to attempt to limit or regulate, even in the interest of the public; WHEREAS, any arguable impact upon fair market value -however reasonable or justified or minimal or incidental or temporary- resulting from state or local government action could trigger a claim for the taxpayers to pay; Resolution No. 40, Series 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 203 of WHEREAS, governments would be vulnerable to lawsuits for almost every decision to regulate or not to regulate making regular governmental functions prohibitively expensive for the taxpayer; WHEREAS, similar efforts have been attempted and defeated in other states, such as the states of Washington and Oregon; WHEREAS, the fiscal impact for similar language in Washington was estimated at $2 billion dollars for state agencies and $1.5 billion for local governments over the first six years; and WHEREAS, there were $4 billion dollars in claims in Oregon before the residents repealed the takings initiative two years after its passage. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO THAT: Section 1. The Council hereby opposes Amendment 74 and urges our citizens to vote against this ballot measure. INTRODUCED, PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail held this 16th day of October, 2018.

Amendment 74 could have dramatic impacts on state and local governments. Your careful analysis of this measure is strongly encouraged, as well as communication with county commissioners, neighboring municipal leaders, business interests like your chamber, neighborhood groups, and the community at large. This packet contains several important documents and we urge careful review. Please go to www.cml.orq for more information or contact me directly at smamet(a�cml.orq. We need your help to defeat Amendment 74. PROPOSED AMENDMENT 74 Amendment 74, drafted by out-of-state corporate interests seeks to amend Section 15 of Article II of the Colorado Constitution to require just compensation if private property has "reduced fair market value by government law or regulation". Shrouded in simple language, Amendment 74 will have far reaching and potentially disastrous consequences. Key Highlights (Not Comprehensive) Under the current Colorado Constitution, a property owner already has the right to seek compensation from state or local governments. Amendment 74 expands this well-established concept by requiring the government — i.e., the taxpayers — to compensate private property owners for virtually any decrease whatsoever in the fair market value of their property due to any government law or regulation. Just about any municipal action could result in a lawsuit. Any inaction could as well, if the effect is even the slightest drop in an individual property's "fair market value." The obligation to compensate is triggered without regard to how long someone has owned the property or what the intentions or actions of the property owner are. There are no exceptions for health, safety, and general welfare regulations or those actions mandated by the federal or state governments. Once passed, there is no flexibility granted to the General Assembly to implement this measure; only the Colorado Supreme Court will be left to interpret the Amendment, including what "fair market value" and "reduced" means. This litigation will come at a high cost to state and local governments, paid for by taxpayers. Decisions on key matters will come to a halt while awaiting further clarification from the courts. The bottom line: Amendment 74 will require Targe pay outs from state and local governments, which means higher taxes for citizens and a reduction in essential government services such as parks, police, utilities, etc. We don't yet know how far reaching this Amendment will be, only that has potential to be disastrous for our state and local governments. Municipal Impacts This measure will cripple local budgets through both increased legal costs and pay outs to individual property owners. Any decision by a government body would be vulnerable to lawsuits, with the cost borne by taxpayers. Municipal services under threat of being reduced include: o Parks, recreation centers, and neighborhood pools; o Police officers and police services; o Trash collection; o Maintenance of gas and water main lines; o Maintenance of streets and sidewalks; o Licensure of businesses; and October 16, 2018 - Page 205 oft o Maintenance of land use codes to protect the structure and character of neighborhoods. • The State of Oregon briefly enacted a similar statute, and in a few short years the measure led to thousands of individual claims, totaling in excess of several billion dollars. Three years after the statute passed, Oregon voters realized the extent of the statute on the economic vitality of the state and effectively repealed the statute. Our communities—and our state— simply cannot afford the impacts of this measure. Examples of Potential Municipal Impacts • Infrastructure Improvements. Colorado's population is expected to nearly double by 2050. State and local governments will have to expand public roads to accommodate new residents. Under Amendment 74, governments could be sued by nearby property owners affected by any infrastructure improvements due to loss in the fair market value of their homes caused by construction, busier streets, noise, and general changes to the character of neighborhoods. This Amendment will make it extremely difficult for state and local governments to improve or replace all kinds of public improvements such as storm water, electric utilities, sewage, rights of ways, easements, and transportation infrastructure because of potential liability. • Regulation of Airbnb. Airbnb is a way for homeowners to make income on their private property by renting their properties for a per night fee. However, utilizing Airbnb has caused neighboring homeowners to raise concerns about crime and safety; noise levels, especially when the short term rentals are used for large parties; and a general loss of community in their neighborhoods. Under Amendment 74, any action a city council or town board decides to take under this scenario could leave them vulnerable to lawsuits from individual property owners: either lawsuits over the loss in rental income if a municipality forbids short term rentals in a certain area or lawsuits over the loss in fair market value to individual property because of a decrease in the character, safety, and sound quality of a neighborhood. • Broadband. Voters in over 100 counties and municipalities across Colorado have told their local leaders to explore public private partnerships for better broadband access. State law has allowed this process since 2005. An incumbent provider could sue the local government for reducing the business investment previously made, even though the service has been inferior, causing such a vote to occur in the first place. The efforts to improve rural broadband access may be threatened. Adult Entertainment Establishments. Municipalities use zoning to form the character of neighborhoods and ensure a well- balanced community. As part of this, many municipalities limit the location of adult entertainment establishments. If a municipality regulates where an adult entertainment establishment can be, an owner could sue for loss in fair market value as one particular location may attract more business than another. If the municipality moves to allow adult entertainment establishments to conduct business anywhere, then property owners adjacent to these establishments may sue for loss in fair market value of their property if, for example, the crime rate rises. Economic Development. Incentives to attract new industry or retain existing businesses are done as a matter of course in many jurisdictions across the state. It is a contributing factor to Colorado's strong economy. If Amendment 74 passes, this practice may be stifled by an individual who sues a local government that is providing incentives, claiming their property's fair market value is reduced. Local governments will have to weigh the benefit of bringing in businesses with the detriment of paying for individual lawsuits. Statewide economic development groups are rightly concerned about this aspect of the proposal. Urban renewal and redevelopment projects may similarly be impacted by the negative effects of Amendment 74. Affordable Housing. Municipal leaders continue to struggle with how to best address the affordable housing challenges many of our communities face. One way communities address the problem is through a rezoning to allow for affordable housing. However, under Amendment 74, an individual may sue because the policy reduces the fair market value of their neighboring property. Suddenly, a project that has wide support in a community has been thwarted, at the expense of all the taxpayers in that city or town. Land Use. The decision making around land use and zoning is complicated enough. An already complex process to approve a new development will now take even longer and will be more costly because municipal decision makers will have to ensure their decisions cause the least amount of liability. Every action may have a new consequence and inaction may result in legal exposure under Amendment 74. Government actions affect every area of a citizen's daily life from collecting trash, to employing police officers, to keeping communities safe. Requiring governments to pay for any reduction in fair market value will cripple state and local governments in Colorado, with the burden paid by taxpayers who must also contend with a reduction of government services. Vote "NO" on Amendment 74. Protect our neighborhoods. Urge your friends and associates to do the same. October 16, 2018 - Page 206 of Talking Points for Local Elected Officials on Amendment 74 Amendment 74 — "Just Compensation for Reduction in Fair Market Value by Government Law or Regulation" Amendment 74 seeks to amend Section 15 of Article II of the Colorado Constitution to require just compensation if private property has "reduced fair market value by government law or regulation". As this Amendment will have negative impacts on local governments if passed, CML encourages local elected officials to speak to their communities. Below are some suggested talking points. • The ability of elected officials to act on behalf of the collective health, safety, and welfare of their community is a core function of government. Amendment 74 undermines the ability of state and local governments to effectively represent their constituents and protect their interests in vital areas such as clean water and air, zoning enforcement, and infrastructure improvements. • Under the current Colorado Constitution, a property owner already has the right to seek compensation from state or local governments. Amendment 74 expands this well-established concept by requiring the government — i.e., the taxpayers — to pay private property owners for virtually any decrease in the "fair market value" of their property due to a government law or regulation. • No one truly knows how this proposed expansion of Section 15 could impact Colorado or local governments... But adding this language to the Constitution will add new layers of ambiguity to the Constitution and leave local governments and taxpayers with unprecedented levels of legal exposure. • This ambiguity will result in taxpayer dollars going towards lawsuits, which either means a rise in taxes or a reduction in government services for neighborhoods, including parks, police, and utilities. • Any change in law or regulation, even those broadly desired by a community or those in the interest of health, safety, and welfare, could be challenged by private land owners. Governments will be reluctant to address important policy issues. • Amendment 74 will undoubtedly lead to increased legal exposure and costly litigation that will increase costs for government programs and services. These will be paid for at the taxpayers' expense. • Municipalities will become collateral damage in private property disputes between owners who feel their property rights have been diminished at the behest of another. Any action by a local government could require that these property owners be compensated. • In sum, Amendment 74 has unintended consequences which will cost Colorado communities too much money, while at the same time putting Colorado citizens in danger. It is a very risky proposition for our communities, our families, and our Colorado. • [Cite a positive project in your city or town which could be impacted under Amendment 74.] October 16, 2018 - Page 207 of'K< TOWN Of UAIL VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. 41, Series of 2018, A Resolution Supporting Proposition 110 "Let's Go, Colorado" to Increase Funding for Statewide and Local Transportation PRESENTER(S): Matt Mire, Town Attorney ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or deny Resolution No. 41, Series of 2018. BACKGROUND: On November 6, 2018, state voters will have the opportunity to support a measure to increase the state sales tax by 0.62% for twenty years, or about six cents on a ten - dollar purchase, for statewide and local transportation needs.

Pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code, the Vail Town Council shall uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Design Review Board's decision of September 5, 2018. IV. BACKGROUND The subject property was part of the original Town of Vail following an election held on August 23, 1966. The existing home was constructed in 1965. The application intends to replace the existing home with a new two-family residence. • On June 25, 2018, the applicant submitted an application for the conceptual review of the redevelopment of the property. The application included the demolition of the existing structure and pool to be replaced with a new primary/secondary two-family dwelling. • On July 18, 2018, the conceptual application was heard before the Design Review Board where comments were offered from the DRB members and members of the community. Prior to the public hearing, a site visit to the property and the neighborhood occurred. As a conceptual review, no vote is taken. (DRB18-0273) • On August 13, 2018 the applicant provided the Town with revised plans for a requested review of new construction before the DRB. These plans underwent an internal review by all applicable Town departments including Community Development, Public Works and Fire. With minor conditions, the application was determined to be in compliance with applicable technical and dimensional standards. • On September 5, 2018, the application was heard before the DRB in a public hearing format following a second site visit to the property and the surrounding areas. After deliberations, following a discussion between the applicant and the members of the DRB and after public comment was received, both in person and in writing, the DRB voted unanimously (5-0) to approve the project with one additional condition. (DRB18-0271) • The September 5, 2018 approval of DRB18-0271 included the following set of conditions: 1. Approval of this project shall lapse and become void one (1) year following the date of final approval, unless a building permit is issued and construction is commenced and is diligently pursued toward completion. Town of Vail Page 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 216 of 2. Design Review Board approval shall not become valid for 20 days following the date of approval, pursuant to the Vail Town Code, Chapter 12-3-3 Appeals. 3. No changes to these plans may be made without the written consent of Town of Vail staff and/or the appropriate review committee(s). 4. Prior to requesting any final inspection, the applicant shall demonstrate to the Public Works Department compliance with the Sight Distance Triangle. 5. The applicant shall provide an amended site plan with the BP submittal showing the limits of disturbance fence encompassing all proposed grading work, including work on the adjoining property. 6. Prior to submitting a building permit application, the applicant shall amend the plans to replace the lower stucco below the metal siding with the project stone. • On September 18, 2018 the Vail Town Council called the item up for additional review. This item was scheduled for the October 16, 2018 Town Council meeting. Staff has received letters of concern which have been included as attachments to this memorandum. The applicant has provided additional material related to this call-up which has been included as Attachment I. V.

The development standards shall apply to new development, as well as to modifications and additions to existing developments, unless specifically exempted herein. 14-1-6: APPEALS: Appeals from decisions made concerning the development standards shall be in accordance with title 12, chapter 3 of this code. 14-10-1: PURPOSE: This chapter provides the design review standards and guidelines for development in the town of Vail. Actions of the staff and the design review board Town of Vail Page 8 October 16, 2018 - Page 222 of shall be guided by the objectives prescribed herein, the Vail Village urban design considerations and guide plan and the Lionshead redevelopment master plan, and by all of the applicable ordinances of the town and by the design guidelines in this chapter. 14-10-2: GENERAL COMPATIBILITY A. Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be compatible. Compatibility can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and colors, and compliance with the guidelines herein contained. B. Any building site in Vail is likely to have its own unique landforms and features. Whenever possible, these existing features should be preserved and reinforced by new construction. The objective is to fit the buildings to their sites in a way that leaves the natural landforms and features intact, treating the buildings as an integral part of the site, rather than as isolated objects at odds with their surroundings. 14-10-3: SITE PLANNING: A. The location and configuration of structures and accessways shall be responsive to the existing topography of the site upon which they are to be located. Grading requirements resulting from development shall be designed to blend into the existing or natural landscape. Any cuts or fills shall be sculptural in form and contoured to blend with the existing natural undisturbed terrain within the property boundary. B. Building siting and access thereto shall be responsive to existing features of terrain rock outcroppings, drainage patterns, and vegetation. C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal of those essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased, those essential for creating defensible space, and those found to impact view corridors as further regulated by title 12, chapter 22, "View Corridors", of this code. Mitigation may be required for tree removal. D. All areas disturbed during construction shall be revegetated. If necessary, the design review board may designate allowable limits of construction activity and require physical barriers in order to preserve significant natural features and vegetation upon a site and adjacent sites during construction. 14-10-5: BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGN (in part) Town of Vail Page 9 October 16, 2018 - Page 223 of A. Intent: The town is situated within the wildland urban interface where community values intersect with the potential consequences of wildland fires. Wildland fires both big and small have the potential to destroy homes and neighborhoods within the town. The architecture and chosen materials of a building greatly affect the survivability of that structure in the face of a wildfire. The use of class A roof coverings and ignition resistant building materials decrease the hazards to the individual structure as well as the surrounding homes. A. Colors: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. All exterior wall materials must be continued down to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls. All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be anodized, painted or capable of weathering so as to be nonreflective. B. Ignition Resistant Materials: The use of ignition resistant building materials and designs intended to prevent the spread of fire are highly encouraged. Vail fire and emergency services is available to provide more information on the use of ignition resistant materials and designs. Predominantly natural building materials shall be used within the town. The exterior use of wood, wood siding, native stone, brick, concrete, stucco, and EIFS may be permitted. Concrete surfaces, when permitted, shall be treated with texture and color; however, exposed aggregate is more acceptable than raw concrete. The exterior use of the following siding materials shall be prohibited: stucco or EIFS with gross textures or surface features that appear to imitate other materials, simulated stone, simulated brick, plastic and vinyl. The exterior use of any building material, including those not specifically identified by this section, shall only be permitted, unless otherwise prohibited by this code, where the design review board finds: 1. That the proposed material is satisfactory in general appearance, quality over time, architectural style, design, color, and texture; and 2. That the use of the proposed material complies with the intent of the provisions of this code; and 3. That the use of the proposed material is compatible with the structure, site, surrounding structures, and overall character of the town; and Town of Vail Page 10 October 16, 2018 - Page 224 of 4. That the material is noncombustible or aids in the prevention of fires. E. Roof Forms: The majority of roof forms within Vail are gable roofs with a pitch of at least four feet (4') in twelve feet (12). However, other roof forms are allowed. Consideration of environmental and climatic determinants such as snow shedding, drainage, fire safety and solar exposure should be integral to the roof design. F. Rooflines: Rooflines should be designed so as not to deposit snow on parking areas, trash storage areas, stairways, decks and balconies, or entryways. Secondary roofs, snow clips, and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas from roof snow shedding if necessary. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS Building Design Compatibility On June 18, 2018 the Design Review Board reviewed the conceptual application to replace the existing single family residence with a new, primary/secondary two-family dwelling. DRB members and members of the public who spoke expressed concerns that the project, although not at final design, was in totality not sufficiently compatible with existing structures and their surroundings On September 5, 2018, the Design Review Board reviewed a final application for new construction. It was the unanimous determination of the board that the changes and refinements illustrated with the revised application met, as conditioned, the standards and guidelines related to compatibility. Specifically: 14-10-2: GENERAL COMPATIBILITY A. Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be compatible. Compatibility can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and colors, and compliance with the guidelines herein contained. VII. REQUIRED ACTION Pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code, the Vail Town Council shall uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Design Review Board's September 5, 2018 decision. Should the Vail Town Council choose to uphold the determination of the Town of Vail Design Review Board (Approval), the following statement is recommended: Town of Vail Page 11 October 16, 2018 - Page 225 of "The Vail Town Council upholds the September 5, 2018 Design Review Board decision to approve a request for the construction of a new primary/secondary two-family structure, 1012 Eagle's Nest Circle, Lot 2, Block 6, Vail Village Filing No. 7, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (TC 18-0004). " With the following findings: "The Vail Town Code was properly applied in regard to the September 5, 2018 Design Review Board decision to approve a request for the construction of a new primary/secondary two-family structure, 1012 Eagle's Nest Circle, Lot 2, Block 6, Vail Village Filing No. 7, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (TC18-0004)." Should the Vail Town Council choose to overturn the determination of the Town of Vail Design Review Board (Approval), the following statement is recommended: "The Vail Town Council overturns the September 5, 2018 Design Review Board decision to approve a request for the construction of a new primary/secondary two-family structure, 1012 Eagle's Nest Circle, Lot 2, Block 6, Vail Village Filing No. 7, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (TC18-0004)." With the following findings: The Vail Town Code was not properly applied in regard to the September 5, 2018 Design Review Board decision to approve the application for new primary/secondary two-family structure, DRB18-0271. Furthermore, the Vail Town Council finds that the proposed building design is incompatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment, and is not in compliance with Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards, of the Vail Town Code, located at 1012 Eagle's Nest Circle, Lot 2, Block 6, Vail Village Filing No. 7, and setting forth details in regard thereto (TC 18-0004).

Tiner 1045 Homestake Circle In Respect of Proposed New Construction At DRB 18-0271 - 1012 Eagles Nest Circle We are unable to attend the Vail Design Review Board (the "DRB") hearing scheduled for September 5, 2018, at which time the DRB will consider the revised submission of plans for construction of a new home at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle. We (Betti and Michael Tiner) are residents of 1045 Homestake Circle, which is one home removed from the subject location. As Betti presented in her verbal remarks at the July 18, 2018 meeting of the DRB, it continues to be our strong view that the design of the proposed duplex (even with the revisions since the July 18, 2018 submission) does not comply with the Town of Vail Code, Title 14 (Development Standards), Chapter 10 (Design Review Standards and Guidelines). Chapter 10-2 clearly states, "Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment." There have been no meaningful structural changes made to the proposed design since its original submission on July 18, 2018, at which time the applicant was advised that the proposed structure would not be approved. We believe that changes to the external facade of the proposed structure do not deal with the fundamental issue and are best described by the old saying of "putting lipstick on the pig". The proposed structure continues to fundamentally be an extremely contemporary "boxy" design that is very rectangular in appearance with sight lines at essentially 90 -degree angles. The proposed structure continues to be fundamentally inconsistent and incompatible with the existing structures in the Vail Golf Course Neighborhood along and adjacent to Vail Valley Drive and is not in keeping with the more traditional existing Alpine mountain architecture environment of the surrounding community. The DRB, in its initial review on July 18, 2018, could not have been more clear in its guidance. Specifically, the DRB stated that it would limit its consideration of design proposals for 1012 Eagles Nest Circle and surrounding areas to structures that were no more contemporary in appearance than the two newer homes at the west end of Ptarmigan Road that were completed in the last year or so. Both of those homes have sight lines that are much less "boxy" in appearance and although new and modern, are generally in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood. October 16, 2018 - Page 260 of The proposed design of 1012 Eagles Nest Circle clearly still does not meet the compatibility standard, nor does it conform to the guidance provided by the DRB in the July 18, 2018 meeting. Eagles Nest Circle, Vail Valley Drive and Homestake Circle are iconic streets in our Vail History. 1012 Eagles Nest Circle also fronts on Homestake Circle and Vail Valley Drive. The new structure that is built on this lot will influence the architecture along and adjacent to Vail Valley Drive for generations to come. This new structure, because of its location, will also influence the feel that future visitors to Vail form of our community and thus influence their desire to invest in a home here. The vision of Vail's founders was to replicate the village to village skiing experience and atmosphere they observed in the Alps while serving in the 10th Mountain Division during World War II. The home that Vail's principal founder, Pete Seibert, originally built at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle set the tone for other homes that were to follow in and along the Vail Golf Course community. Pete Seibert's original home is about to be torn down and replaced. But the original vision of Pete Seibert and Vail's other founders should not be destroyed along with his original home. That vision is part of Vail's history, is woven into the fabric of our community and is part of our environment. Respecting it and preserving it has been codified by the Town of Vail Code. Most of us purchased homes and live here because we value the Alpine feel upon which this town was founded. We believe that the Design Review Standard/Guideline referenced above that is embodied in the Town of Vail Code exists to empower and, in fact, require the DRB, and ultimately the Town Council, to take into consideration the vision of our founders to preserve the Alpine look and feel of our community. Why else would that provision exist? We look to the DRB to live up to its responsibility as it considers the proposed design of the new structure at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle. The new structure on this iconic location will be precedent setting - there is little doubt about that. We believe it is the duty of the DRB to ensure that this new precedent setting structure is not inconsistent with our history, our existing structures, nor with our environment and the very fabric of our community. Do not approve a structure that because of its design and location can ultimately lead to materially and forever changing the look and feel of our Alpine mountain community. The modernization and upgrade of our community must be influenced by our tradition and the existing fabric of our community. Key provisions of the Design Review Standards and Guidelines embodied in the Town of Vail Code require it. Respectively submitted, October 16, 2018 - Page 261 of Betti B. Tiner Michael L.

I am in Glenwood Springs with the opening of the new CMC Spring Valley Campus and the Dedication. I ask that you take into consideration the severity of the design for the proposed duplex and its lack of compatibility with environment of the surrounding neighborhood. The Town of Vail Code was written as a guideline, but it is the standard by which we assume we all live, build and design. My thanks, Elaine Kelton October 16, 2018 - Page 263 of From: Michael Haloert To: Jonathan Spence Subject: 1012 eagles nest Date: Monday, October 08, 2018 12:02:46 PM Jonathon Apence AICP Senior Planner Community Development Department Members of Town Council As mentioned this property will have considerable influence on Homestake Circle. The latest rendering indicates that some of the concrete will be replaced by stone and i would request that be throughout the project. i believe that a change in elevation for the roof lines and that the roofs be pitched, would be far more consistent with the neighborhood. The architect and the owner will lose very little space with this request and it would be in keeping with the DRB pronouncement that this project needed to be more similar to the surroundings. Thank you for your consideration and for a possible change in the plans. Michael Halpert 1054 Homestake Circle Vail 81657 970 476 5301 mhalp@sas.upenn.edu October 16, 2018 - Page 264 of Elaine and Art Kelton 1034 Homestake Circle Vail, Colorado 81657 Town Council: Proposed New Construction: DRB 18-0271 - 1012 Eagles Nest Circle October 16. The design of 1012 Eagles Nest Circle was approved by the DRB and is now called up by Council to be approved/disapproved on October 16. I am writing to voice our thoughts that the plans as approved by the DRB do not reflect the voices of the neighborhood expressed at the Council Meeting prior to DRB approval. Nor does it appear to be compatible with the neighborhood. It is a clean -lined, unrelieved flat roofed duplex structure, one more suitable for another location. Mike Suman is a fine architect, his other contemporary designs that I am aware of, are gentler in line, with a softer design which reflects the Vail mountain feeling. The Vail Golf Course and Eagles Nest Circle, Homestake Circle and Horn Silver Circle reflect the Alpine character compatible with intention of Vail: elegant and mountain architecture with stipulations as to material used. Questions: As Vail changes, is there a Master Plan for the evolution in architectural style? Does compatibility of the existing neighborhood apply as it has historically? Peter Knobel has also purchased the adjacent property, that of Dr. Tom Steinberg. Will it too be designed as contemporary and duplex in a neighborhood that has historically been mountain and single family? Many of the properties are zoned duplex from a time when no other housing was available and we needed beds. My thanks for hearing our concerns. Art and Elaine Kelton October 16, 2018 - Page 265 of October 10, 2018 Tricia and Steven Vath 1044 Homestake Circle Vail, Colorado 81657 Town Council: Proposed New Construction: DRB 18-0271— 1012 Eagles Nest Circle October 16 I am writing in regards to the proposed construction at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle. My wife and I bought our home at 1044 Homestake Circle in 2012. The Eagles Nest lot is in direct vision from our house. While we are one of the newer families to the area, we concur with the sentiments of many of our more tenured neighbors who desire to protect the traditional Alpine character of our neighborhood. After reviewing the architectural drawings, it seems that the proposed house is not compatible with existing neighborhood structures, their surroundings or with the Vail environment. I realize change is inevitable and that new homes will not continue to appear the same as those built in the 60's and 70's. But this proposed departure from the traditional Vail architecture of the area is not only antithetical to the spirit of Vail's code (Title 14, Chapter 10-2), but I feel will ultimately deteriorate the character of neighborhood and diminish the allure of homeownership for the kinds of families that have resided in the Golf Course community during the last 50 years. I bought 1044 Homestake Circle because it fulfilled a dream of mine since I was a child and first visited Vail from New Jersey in 1982. I fell in love with the feeling of Vail back then. I finally moved to Colorado in 2004 and eventually realized my goal to join the Vail community as a homeowner. I did not buy this property as an investment. This is a sacred family gathering place for me and intended to be that way for many generations of my family to come. I would have had no interest in such an heirloom in the classic, Austrian -inspired town of Vail had the neighborhood been transitioned to modernized duplexes. I see such wonderful long-term benefits to preserving the identity of our neighborhood and very little long-term benefit condoning its transition to non-traditional investment projects. I worry about the striking potential parallel I see between this proposed trend in the Vail Golf Course and what occurred in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver in the early 2000s. The Highlands had been a desirable neighborhood since the mid-90s and was one of the few areas in the country where home values actually rose during the housing recession. We owned a home there from 2004 to 2008 and coveted the region for its old Denver charm with bungalows, Denver squares, and quaint Victorian homes. We also cherished its premier location just outside of Denver's many amenities. While we lived there, we watched old homes get snatched up by investors and converted to new, boxy, loft style duplexes. Many developers and "house flippers" cashed in as they transformed the appearance and demographic of the neighborhood. After several years of this metamorphosis, the community was finally able to convince the town to prohibit any further creation of these modern, investment -oriented duplexes, but it was too late. The feel of the neighborhood was changed forever. I hope that this does not happen to the Vail Golf Course. Thank you for considering our point of view. Sincerely, Steven and Tricia Vath October 16, 2018 - Page 266 of Town of Vail Town Council Meeting October 16, 2018 Statement of Michael L. & Betti B. Tiner 1045 Homestake Circle In Respect of Proposed New Construction At DRB 18-0271 - 1012 Eagles Nest Circle We appeared and made an oral statement at the July 18, 2018 Design Review Board Meeting. We submitted a letter to the DRB prior to the September 5, 2018 meeting because we were not able to attend the meeting. We understand that letter is in your packet and we hope you have had time to review it. The fundamental objection that we have previously stated with respect to the proposal for redevelopment of 10112 Eagle's Nest Circle remains unchanged — the proposed structure is NOT compatible with Homestake Circle, Eagle's Nest Circle, Vail Valley Drive and the extended neighborhood that surrounds the Vail Golf Course. The Design Review Board could not have been more clear during its initial meeting on July 18, 2018 to review the proposal for 1012 Eagle's Nest Circle. Fortunately, we do not have to trust memory, as there is a recording of the meeting. Chairman Bill Pierce of the DRB referred to the two newer homes at the west end of Ptarmigan and flatly stated without equivocation, "that's the limit of deviation from compatibility that I would be able to tolerate." When Michael Suman pointed out the Resnick home on Ptarmigan as being of a more contemporary design, Chairman Bill Pierce responded, "It is not composed well. That's a wreck of mixtures of roof shapes and forms and materials." In a final comment, Chairman Pierce observed in reference to the proposed structure, "To my mind, have to dial it back to a level of deviation from the compatibility with the neighborhood that doesn't exceed anything that is there now." When asked a follow-up question by Michael Suman about materials, Chairman Pierce observed, "The [extensive use of] glass has a commercial feeling." Board member John Rediker commented in the meeting, "There is severity of form, an angular and cubic aspect relative to existing homes - too austere" and further suggested "that these forms were too austere to the context of the neighborhood." October 16, 2018 - Page 267 of Board member Peter Cope added his comments as follows, "It needs to be less severe. Some neighborhoods can get away with this, but for it to pass the Board, needs to be toned down a bit." We left the meeting on July 18, 2018 very encouraged by the comments made by the DRB members and confident that a major overhaul of the proposed design would be undertaken so that it would comply with the direction given by the DRB members. We view the two homes at the west end of Ptarmigan to which Chairman Pierce referred in his remarks as "the limit of deviation from compatibility that I would be able to tolerate" as being very acceptable examples of modem mountain architecture that are compatible with our neighborhood. We were unable to attend the September 5, 2018 DRB meeting and were astonished to learn that the DRB had approved the project with only minimal material changes to the building's facade. We viewed these building facade changes as "putting lipstick on the pig." There were no changes that addressed the fundamental aspects to which we, our neighbors and even the DRB Members objected during the July 18, 2018 meeting. Specifically, there were no changes to address the "severity of form" nor the "angular and cubic aspect relative to existing homes" objected to by DRB member Rediker, nor the requirement for the design to be "less severe" and "toned down a bit" required by DRB Member Cope. The extensive use of glass that leads to a "commercial feeling" objected to by Chairman Pierce has not been changed, nor has the fundamental design of the proposed structure. It is still an extremely contemporary design that fails to meet the key guidance provided by Chairman Pierce — the proposed structure remains well outside the bounds of compatibility with the two newer homes at the west end of Ptarmigan which Chairman Pierce stated were "the limit of deviation from compatibility that I would be able to tolerate". We are not quite sure what happened between July 18 and September 5, but it is clear to us that the standards for compatibility and approval that were voiced and imposed on July 18 by the DRB (and with which we agreed) were not applied during the September 5 meeting when the project was approved. The Town of Vail Code, Title 14 (Development Standards), Chapter 10 (Design Review Standards and Guidelines) — Chapter 10-2 which states, "Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings and with Vail's environment", could not be clearer. The word "shall" means "must". Shall does not mean "sort of' or "somewhat" — it is a very absolute word. Vail was founded on the vision of replicating the Alpine village to village skiing experience our October 16, 2018 - Page 268 of founders observed in Europe during World War II. The Vail Town Code provision we cite must have been written in order to ensure that the original look and feel of Vail would forever influence the evolving architecture of our community. What other purpose could have possibly been intended when this provision was included in our Town Code? We believe the Design Review Board and the Town Council are obligated to pay careful attention to this provision of the Town Code and its obvious original intent when considering the approval of new construction in our community and its neighborhoods. To be clear, we do not believe we must forever adhere to a strict 19th and 20th century form of Alpine architecture, but we do believe this provision of the Town Code exists to ensure incremental and evolutionary changes and to prevent massive and revolutionary changes to our town's architectural environment. Although a few changes were made to the proposal between the July 18 and September 5 DRB meetings, they were not meaningful. The proposed structure is still severe in form, has a cubic aspect, has a commercial look about it, is austere in its impression and is not compatible with the architecture of the surrounding neighborhood. The flat roof and stark angles are particularly offensive. A new home is going to be built on one of Vail's iconic locations - the place where Pete Seibert built his home. Just as the Seibert home set the tone for architecture in and along the Vail Golf Course neighborhood for generations, so will the new structure built on this location. The original vision of Pete Seibert for an Alpine village experience should not be destroyed along with his home. The proposed structure would be the landmark to which anyone could point as the model to justify future ultra -contemporary new construction in and along the Vail Golf Course, forever substantially altering the architecture of our neighborhood. We do not believe that is the vision of our founders and we do believe the Vail Town Code was written to prevent just such an occurrence. We urge you to remand this project back to the DRB for reconsideration with appropriate guidance from the Town Council that is substantially consistent with the guidance given by the DRB to the applicant during the DRB's July 18, 2018 meeting. Respectively submitted, Betti and Michael Tiner October 10, 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 269 of October 10, 2018 Town Council Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Call-up of DRB approval of Home at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle Dear Town Council Members: I am writing you on behalf of the 1012 Eagles Nest LLC, owner of the property located at 1012 Eagles Nest Circle in Vail, Colorado. The Town's Design Review Board (DRB), consisting of members John Rediker, Doug Cahill, David Campbell, Peter Cope, and Bill Pierce, voted unanimously to approve the plans for the proposed new home on this property on September 5, 2018. The Town Council voted to "call-up" the DRB approval at its meeting held on September 18, 2018, by a vote of 5-2. Because there was no discussion of any concerns or findings by the Town Council when it called up the DRB approval, the owner is unclear what the issues are that the Town Council may have with the approval. When an aggrieved party, like a neighbor, files an appeal they have to provide evidence of how they believe the DRB erred in its approval, such as how the project violates the design guidelines or other standards found in the Town Code. Since this call-up lacks any indication of fault with the standards of the code, we will address how this DRB approval is in compliance with all of the Town's adopted design guidelines and standards. As evidenced by the DRB's unanimous vote of approval, the project fully complies with the Town's adopted design guidelines and standards as codified in Title 14, Development Standards, of the Town Code. Rendering of Proposed Home October 16, 2018 - Page 270 of Project Overview: The proposed project is a new duplex located on a 0.444 -acre parcel (19,344 sq. ft.) zoned Two - Family Primary Secondary Residential. The lot exceeds the minimum size requirement by 4,344 sq. ft. The new home complies with all zoning development standards including density, building height, setbacks, landscape area, site coverage, and GRFA as documented by the Town staff. The existing home on the property will be demolished. The approved set of plans is attached to this letter. Renderings of Proposed Home Design Standards and Guidelines: The Town of Vail has three sets of design guidelines. The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan regulates the design of structures located within the core area of Vail Village. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan contains design guidelines that regulate the design of structures within Lionshead. Title 14, Design Standards, regulates the design of all other homes and buildings within the Town regardless of neighborhood. The design guidelines that apply to Page 2 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 271 of homes on Eagles Nest Circle also apply to homes in West Vail, East Vail, and everywhere in between with the exceptions noted above. Unless granted a variance, all projects have to meet the technical requirements of the zone district: density, building height, setbacks, landscape area, site coverage, and GRFA. In addition, all projects have to comply with the technical design standards such as the width and slope of driveways, heights of retaining walls, snow storage requirements, outdoor lighting, grading standards, stormwater quality requirements, and geological considerations. No variances were necessary for the proposed project as it complies with all technical standards. The Town's design guidelines and standards are fairly simple. Here is a summary of the guidelines that the DRB has to use to make evaluations of a project's compliance with the Code. This is done by using the language in the code and also considering precedent or prior projects that have been approved. An extensive review of precedents has been provided as an attachment. Guidelines (14-10-2 General Compatibility): A. Structures shall be compatible with existing structures, their surroundings, and with Vail's environment. It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be compatible. Compatibility can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and colors, and compliance with the guidelines herein contained. .( The DRB found that this guideline was met. The proposed project was found to be compatible with existing structures. B. Any building site in Vail is likely to have its own unique landforms and features. Whenever possible, these existing features should be preserved and reinforced by new construction. The objective is to fit the buildings to their sites in a way that leaves the natural landforms and features intact, treating the buildings as an integral part of the site, rather than as isolated objects at odds with their surroundings. ,( The DRB found that this guideline was met. The proposed project was found to fit into the site where the previous home was located. Guidelines (14-10-3 Site Planning): A. The location and configuration of structures and accessways shall be responsive to the existing topography of the site upon which they are to be located. Grading requirements resulting from development shall be designed to blend into the existing or natural Page 3 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 272 of landscape. Any cuts or fills shall be sculptural in form and contoured to blend with the existing natural undisturbed terrain within the property boundary. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The proposed home was replacing an existing home on a flat lot without any unusual terrain. B. Building siting and access thereto shall be responsive to existing features of terrain rock outcroppings, drainage patterns, and vegetation. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The proposed home is sensitive to existing features of the terrain. C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal of those essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased, those essential for creating defensible space, and those found to impact view corridors as further regulated by title 12, chapter 22, "View Corridors", of this code. Mitigation may be required for tree removal. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The site is heavily wooded due to trees planted by the prior owner and does not represent "native vegetation." Several trees require removal to allow for the new home, removal of dead or dying trees, and to comply with wildland fire requirements. D. All areas disturbed during construction shall be revegetated. If necessary, the design review board may designate allowable limits of construction activity and require physical barriers in order to preserve significant natural features and vegetation upon a site and adjacent sites during construction. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Tree protection will be provided during construction of the home. Guidelines (14-10-5 Building Materials and Design): A. Intent: The town is situated within the wildland urban interface where community values intersect with the potential consequences of wildland fires. Wildland fires both big and small have the potential to destroy homes and neighborhoods within the town. The architecture and chosen materials of a building greatly affect the survivability of that structure in the face of a wildfire. The use of class A roof coverings and ignition resistant building materials decrease the hazards to the individual structure as well as the surrounding homes. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The home is designed with a class A roof covering and ignition resistant building materials. Page 4 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 273 of B. Ignition Resistant Materials: The use of ignition resistant building materials and designs intended to prevent the spread of fire are highly encouraged. Vail fire and emergency services is available to provide more information on the use of ignition resistant materials and designs. Predominantly natural building materials shall be used within the town. The exterior use of wood, wood siding, native stone, brick, concrete, stucco, and EIFS may be permitted. Concrete surfaces, when permitted, shall be treated with texture and color; however, exposed aggregate is more acceptable than raw concrete. The exterior use of the following siding materials shall be prohibited: stucco or EIFS with gross textures or surface features that appear to imitate other materials, simulated stone, simulated brick, plastic and vinyl. The exterior use of any building material, including those not specifically identified by this section, shall only be permitted, unless otherwise prohibited by this code, where the design review board finds: 1. That the proposed material is satisfactory in general appearance, quality over time, architectural style, design, color, and texture; and 2. That the use of the proposed material complies with the intent of the provisions of this code; and 3. That the use of the proposed material is compatible with the structure, site, surrounding structures, and overall character of the town; and 4. That the material is noncombustible or aids in the prevention of fires. .( The DRB found that this guideline was met. The home is designed with predominately natural materials including the use of wood, stone, metal panel, and stucco. C. Same Or Similar Materials: The same or similar building materials and colors shall be used on main structures and any accessory structures upon the site. Translucent components of greenhouses shall be exempt from this requirement. .( This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not proposing accessory structures. D. Colors: Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth tones found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary colors or other bright colors should be used only as accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings. All exterior wall materials must be continued down to finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation walls. All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and rooftop mechanical equipment shall be anodized, painted or capable of weathering so as to be nonreflective. .( The DRB found that this guideline was met. The colors being used are compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. Natural earth tones are Page 5 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 274 of being utilized as shown in the renderings provided. No bright colors are proposed. All foundation walls are finished. E. Roof Forms: The majority of roof forms within Vail are gable roofs with a pitch of at least four feet (4') in twelve feet (12'). However, other roof forms are allowed. Consideration of environmental and climatic determinants such as snow shedding, drainage, fire safety and solar exposure should be integral to the roof design. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The PIS zone district prescribes a building height for a flat roof structure at 30' so clearly fat roof forms are allowed and exist throughout Vail. F. Rooflines: Rooflines should be designed so as not to deposit snow on parking areas, trash storage areas, stairways, decks and balconies, or entryways. Secondary roofs, snow clips, and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas from roof snow shedding if necessary. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Rooflines have been designed so as to not shed snow. G. Regulations: All structures shall have class A roof assemblies or shall have class A roof covering materials, as defined by the adopted building code. The use of concrete tile, slate, metal, asphalt shingle, fiberglass shingle, and built up tar and gravel roofing may be permitted. Metal roofing, when permitted, shall not reflect direct sunlight onto an adjacent property and shall be surfaced with a low gloss finish or be capable of weathering to a dull finish. Metal roofing, when permitted, shall be of a heavy gauge and designed to provide visual relief to the roof surface (including, but not limited to, a standing seam). Asphalt and fiberglass shingles, when permitted, shall be designed to provide visual relief through texture, dimension and depth of appearance. The use of wood shake, wood shingles and rolled roofing shall not be permitted. Two-family and multi family dwellings shall be required to have uniform roof covering materials, except when the design review board determines that the materials are compatible, are integral to the architectural style of the structure and different materials do not share any ridges or planes, but may share a valley. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The home is designed with a Class A roof assembly. The guidelines specifically list the use of gravel or stone ballast, a common roofing material for flat and low sloping roofs. H. Rooftops: Rooftop heating and air conditioning equipment, large vent stacks, elevator penthouses and similar features should be avoided; however, if necessary, shall be designed to be compatible with the overall design of the structure or screened from view of all adjacent properties. Rooftop antennas shall not be permitted unless as allowed Page 6 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 275 of under a conditional use review as specified within the zoning code. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. No rooftop equipment is proposed. 1. Solar Energy Devices: ✓ This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not proposing solar energy devices. J. Overhangs: Deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other building features that provide shelter from the elements are encouraged. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Deep roof overhangs and eaves are provided on the proposed structure. K. Fenestration: Fenestration should be suitable for the climate and for the orientation of the particular building elevation in which the fenestration occurs. The use of both passive and active solar energy systems is strongly encouraged. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The fenestration was found to be suitable for the climate and orientation of the building elevations. L. Duplexes: In no instance shall a duplex structure be so constructed as to result in each half of the structure appearing substantially similar or mirror image in design. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The duplex is not a mirror image structure. M. Footings And Foundation: Building footings and foundations shall be designed in accordance with the minimum standards of the adopted building code. Footings and foundations shall also be designed to be responsive to the natural topography of the site, and shall be designed and constructed in such a manner as to minimize the necessary amount of excavation and site disturbance. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. The foundation of the structure will comply with building codes and are responsive to the topography of the site. The site was previous disturbed with a residence on the property. Guidelines (14-10-6 Residential Development): A. The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed in a Page 7 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 276 of manner that creates an architecturally integrated structure with unified site development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed within a single structure, except as set forth in subsection B of this section, with the use of unified architectural and landscape design. A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, site grading and landscape materials and features. .( The DRB found that this guideline was met. The proposed project was designed as an architecturally integrated structure with unified site development. B. The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and garages on a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made by the design review board. "Significant site constraints" shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other natural features, and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage from a unit. It shall be the applicant's responsibility to request a determination from the design review board as to whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work on the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s). .( This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not requesting to separate the two dwelling units. C. The residential development may be designed to accommodate the development of dwelling units and garages in more than one structure if the design review board determines that significant site constraints exist on the lot. The use of unified architectural and landscape design as outlined herein shall be required for the development. In addition, the design review board may require that one or more of the following common design elements such as fences, walls, patios, decks, retaining walls, walkways, landscape elements, or other architectural features be incorporated to create unified site development. .( This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not requesting to separate the garage from the home. Guidelines (14-10-8 Landscaping, Drainage, and Erosion Control): Page 8 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 277 of A. Various natural vegetation zones exist within the Gore Valley as a result of the form and aspects of the land itself. The north facing slopes within the valley are typically heavily wooded with spruce, pine and aspen and generally receive less direct sunlight than the drier south facing slopes which typically consist of sage, aspen and other vegetation tolerant of drier conditions. The valley floor which is adjacent to Gore Creek consists of a wide variety of trees and shrubs adapted to the relatively fertile soil and natural availability of water. The goal of any landscape plan should be to preserve and enhance the natural landscape character of the area in which it is to be located and serve as an aid in fire prevention and protection. The landscape scale and overall landscape design shall be developed so that new vegetation is integral with the natural landscape and the inherent form, line, color and texture of the local plant communities. Since the major objective of the landscaping is to help reduce the scale of new structures and to assist in the screening of structures, the planting of large sized plant materials is encouraged. Fire wise plant materials are encouraged due to their ability to resist fire. Trees should be maintained through limbing and pruning in order to prevent limbs from being too close to structures and other plant materials. Special care should be taken in selecting the types of plants to use when designing a landscape plan. Final selection should be based upon the soils and climate, ease of establishment, suitability for the specific use desired, ability to deter the spread of fires and the level of maintenance that can be provided. New planting shall use plants that are indigenous to the Rocky Mountain alpine and subalpine zones or are capable of being introduced into these zones. A recommended list of plant materials, some indigenous to the Vail area, is on file with the department of community development. Also indicated on the list are fire wise plant materials which are suitable for planting within the Vail area. The minimum sizes of landscape materials acceptable are as follows: Required trees: Deciduous 2 inch caliper Conifers 6 foot Required shrubs: #5 gallon container Foundation shrubs shall have a minimum height of 18 inches at time of planting. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. All proposed trees comply with the Town's requirements. The bulk of the tree removed are trees planted by the prior owner and therefore not native landscaping. Most of the trees being removed are either dead or dying. Other trees are removed to allow for driveway access. The site will have an abundance of mature landscaping that will help screen the home and reduce its apparent scale. If the full vegetation Page 9 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 278 of were shown the on the building elevations, one would not be able to view the home. B. Landscape design shall be developed to locate new planting in order to extend existing canopy edges or planted in natural looking groups. Geometric plantings, evenly spaced rows of trees, and other formal landscape patterns shall be avoided. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. New landscaping will be logically placed to appear natural. C. Particular attention shall be given the landscape design of off street parking lots to reduce adverse impacts upon living areas within the proposed development, upon adjacent properties, and upon public spaces with regard to noise, lights, and visual impact. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. This guideline is intended to apply to parking lots rather than driveways. Despite that fact, ample landscaping is proposed to screen the driveway from adjacent properties. D. All landscaping shall be provided with a method of irrigation suitable to ensure the continued maintenance of planted materials. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. New landscaping will be irrigated. E. Whenever possible, natural drainage patterns upon the site shall not be modified. Negative drainage impacts upon adjacent sites shall not be allowed. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. Drainage patterns are not being altered and there are no negative impacts upon adjacent properties. F. Runoff from impervious surfaces such as roofs and pavement areas shall be directed to natural or improved drainage channels or dispersed into shallow sloping vegetated areas. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. Drainage is being directed to vegetated areas. G. Slope of cut and fill banks shall be determined by soil characteristics for the specific site to avoid erosion, and promote revegetation opportunities, but in any case shall be limited to a maximum of two to one (2:1) slope. I The DRB found that this guideline was met. No cut and fill banks exist. Page 10 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 279 of H. Measures shall be taken to retain all eroded soil material on site during construction, control both ground water and surface water runoff, and to permanently stabilize all disturbed slopes and drainage features upon completion of construction. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. All eroded soil, if any, will be maintained onsite. All areas will be stabilized upon completion of construction. I. All plants shall be planted in a good quality topsoil mix of a type and amount recommended by the American Landscape Contractor Association and the Colorado Nurseryman's Association. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. Appropriate topsoil will be utilized. J. All plantings must be mulched. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. All plantings will be appropriately mulched. K. Paving near a tree to be saved must contain a plan for a "tree vault" in order to ensure the ability of the roots to receive air. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. No paving is proposed in close proximity to an existing tree. Guidelines (14-10-9 Fences, Hedges, Walls, and Screening): A. Placement: The placement of walls and fences shall respect existing landforms and fit into land massing rather than arbitrarily follow site boundary lines. Fences shall not be encouraged except to screen trash areas, utility equipment, etc. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. Retaining walls are used to fit the building into the land massing. B. Design: Design of fences, walls, and other structural landscape features shall be of materials compatible with the site and the materials of the structures on the site. Retaining walls and cribbing should utilize natural materials such as wood timbers, logs, rocks, or textured, color tinted concrete. No chainlink fences shall be allowed except as temporary construction fences or as required for recreational facilities. • The DRB found that this guideline was met. No fences are proposed. All walls are cladded with natural stone. C. Setbacks Observed: All accessory uses and structures except fences, hedges, walls and Page 11 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 280 of landscaping, or ground level site development such as walks, driveways, and terraces shall be located within the required minimum setback lines on each site. Recreational amenities may be exempted by the design review board if it determines that their location is not detrimental environmentally and/or aesthetically. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. All required setbacks are being met. D. Sight Triangle: To minimize traffic hazards at street intersections by improving visibility for drivers of converging vehicles in any district where setbacks are required, no fence or structure over three feet (3') in height shall be permitted within the triangular portion of a corner lot measured from the point of intersection of the lot lines abutting the streets a distance of thirty feet (30') along each lot line. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Sight distance requirements are being observed. E. Height Limitations: Fences, hedges, walls and landscaping screens shall not exceed three feet (3') in height within any required front setback area, and shall not exceed six feet (6') in height in any other portion of the site, provided that higher fences, hedges, walls or landscaping screens may be authorized by the administrator when necessary to screen public utility equipment. No barbed wire or electrically charged fence shall be erected or maintained. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Retaining walls conform to this requirement. No fencing is proposed. Guidelines (14-10-10 Accessory Structures, Utilities, Service Area): A. Design of accessory structures upon a site shall be compatible with the design and materials of the main structure or structures upon the site. ✓ This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not proposing accessory structures. B. Accessory buildings generally should be attached to the main building either directly or by means of a continuous wall, fence or similar feature of the same or a complementary material as the main building's exterior finish. ✓ This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not proposing accessory structures. Page 12 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 281 of C. All utility service systems shall be installed underground. Any utility system the operation of which requires aboveground installation shall be located and/or screened so as not to detract from the overall site design quality. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. All utility service is provided below ground. D. All utility meters shall be enclosed or screened from public view. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. All utility meters are enclosed or screened. E. Service areas, outdoor storage, and garbage storage shall be screened from adjacent properties, structures, streets, and other public areas by fences, berms, or landscaping. ✓ This guideline is not applicable to this project as the applicant is not proposing service areas, outdoor storage, or garbage storage outside of the home. F. Adequate trash storage areas shall be provided. There shall be year round access to all trash storage areas which shall not be used for any other purpose. ✓ The DRB found that this guideline was met. Trash storage is provided within the home. G. Greenhouses, when permitted, shall be subject to the following standards: 1. All wall and roofing materials shall be constructed of rigid material and shall not include polyethylene or other similar flexible films. 2. All nontranslucent elements including framing and doors shall be painted to be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings. 3.

Design Review Process: The Town's design review process consists of the following steps (in general): • Submittal of a DRB Application • Town staff review of the application • Town staff request for modifications • Conceptual Review by the DRB (optional step) • Revision of plans based on DRB and staff comments by the applicant • Resubmittal of revised plans to the Town • Review of plans by Town staff • Modifications by applicant if necessary • Review of final plan by the DRB This is the process that was followed for the review of this project. The DRB reviewed the application twice. At the conceptual review the DRB requested the applicant address many issues raised by the DRB. The applicant addressed all of the issues raised by the DRB (see letter dated September 5, 2018 from Suman Architects to the Design Board attached). At the final review of the plans by the DRB, additional changes to the plans were agreed to by the applicant at the request of the DRB, which included adding more stone to the facade of the building. The DRB found that the applicant had addressed all of the comments to its satisfaction and approved the proposed plans with conditions. They did so despite negative comments from two neighbors who were opposed to the plan. Page 14 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 283 of Town Council Action: In order for the Town Council to overturn the unanimous approval by the DRB the Town Council would have to find that the DRB erred in its review and find that the proposal does not comply with the Design Guidelines. Many times these types of decisions hinge on the term "compatibility." Compatibility tends to be a very subjective term. In the case of the Town's design guidelines it specifically states "It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be compatible." The development standards found in this zone district allows a property owner to achieve a certain scale by virtue of the lot size, building height, site coverage, and setback requirements. The proposed home is more modern than what was built on the property prior but it's certainly not the most modern home in Vail or even in this neighborhood. The DRB found that the home was compatible due to its scale, the materials being used, its siting on the property, and with the landscape plan proposed. Clearly this proposed home complies with the Town's review criteria, zoning standards, and the design guidelines and standards found in the code. Personal opinion is not a criterion used to judge a design. The applicant's request is that the Town vote to uphold the DRB approval. Please review the materials attached to this letter for a more complete review of the project. The recording of the DRB hearing has also been provided. Sincerely, Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP Principal Attachments: • Letter from Suman Architects to the DRB dated September 5 • Precedent Images of homes in Vail Approved DRB Plans Page 15 of 15 October 16, 2018 - Page 284 of SUMAN ARCHITECTS Site overview September 5, 2018 Town Of Vail Design Review Board 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Final Review of 1012 Eagles Nest Circle Intro - Michael Suman representing Peter Knobel who is joined by his counsel Ryan Smith • In July we came in with a conceptual review which was successful in generating discussion and feedback. Two of the board members were missing, so I'll summarize the discussions that we had based on the undeveloped design model images we presented. • DRB Comments 1. More detail recommended for the window openings to make them less modern 2. Consider removing the long eaves creating openings at a handful of the roof corners 3. Concern of the material colors in the model was addressed by the actual material colors presented at the meeting 4. Larger wall surfaces should be given more detail 5. Removal of existing trees were presented as necessity for the driveways 6. Last, but not least - It is too modern and should be more similar to the houses at the west end of the golf course. No specifics were given. Standard of Review = Guidelines • It is our job as Designers to follow the Design Review Standards and Guidelines of the Town Code just as it is the DRBs role is to review projects based on that same criteria. • I confirmed with the previous Head of Community Development George Ruther that the guidelines were developed such that design compatibility applies to Vail as a whole, not areas or pockets independent of each other. If they had wanted each neighborhood to be reviewed as independent design styles, the code would have been written as such. • "Compatibility can be achieved through the proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials, colors and compliance with the guidelines". The code gives flexibility to styles. I.e. not like Red Sky Ranch or Bachelor Gulch where the look is consistent • As long as these aspects of design are met, the guidelines allow for the juxtaposition of Log cabins next to modern flat roofs next to Bavarian next to other styles. • In fact, recently much of what has been approved throughout vail shares many characteristics of the proposed design for Eagles Nest. A style that is approved in one area of Vail, must be considered in all other areas and cannot not be capriciously determined as too modern. Review Precedence here • I worked with TOV staff to get copies of the DRB Review Board Checklist that specifically lists the critical items within the standards each project is to be reviewed based on. We will walk through this checklist to show how this proposed design fits within the standard of review criteria as well as the precedence for your approval today. • The property is bounded on 3 sides by roads providing split entry opportunities. • Grades slope from NW to SE. The natural response is to step the building down and allow grades to fall around the structure. This provided the opportunity for a stacked garage with driveways accessing from each side creating the effect of two single family homes. • Primary views and sun path to south with select opportunities to east and west • Site is over grown with trees - will thin for defensible space and view angles to public while strategically maintaining pockets of existing for a natural screening of the structures. michael@sumanarchitects.com 141 East Meadow Drive Suite 211 Vail, CO 81657 o 970.479.7502 f 970.479.6666 m 970.471.6122 October 16, 2018 - Page 285 of General SUMAN ARCHITECTS Design Review Standards - Project Site planning • Considering all the precedent projects in existence through Vail's neighborhood, this project is compatible with the other residential projects in Vail. • We keeping the existing slope of the property and integrating the structure into it. • The proposed design fits within the existing improvements and takes up much less footprint of the site • The building steps in and out down the slope breaking down the overall mass. • Existing site grades fall naturally down around the structure for very little need for retaining walls • Sensitive siting provides privatized on grade terraces for each unit on different levels • Limits of disturbance is minimized by placing the new structure within the old footprint Residential Development • Architecturally integrated design is broken down with a handful of materials to reduce massing while providing unique qualities for each unit. • Building massing steps down with contour of the site • Garages are integrated, stacked, and accessed on different sides to reduce the "garage" affect • The units are not mirrored plans or designs Building Materials and Design • Rich regional materials and colors are compatible with surrounding natural environment • Natural wood siding is the predominant material used with stone, metal and stucco accents. • Exterior wall finishes are applied to volumes with no exposed concrete.

(PEC18-0032) Applicant: Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a first reading of Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2018, an ordinance amending and repealing portions of Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2016 to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, and the ability to provide employee housing off- site, located at 1150 and 1170 Westhaven Lane/Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2, Glen Lyon Subdivision, Development Area C, SDD No. 4 (Cascade Village) and setting forth details in regard thereto. On September 24, 2018, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) forwarded a unanimous recommendation, for approval, with a condition, of a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Glen Lyon Subdivision, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code. Please find the staff memorandum to the PEC included as Attachment B and the minutes from the September 24th meeting included as Attachment C. II. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE TOWN COUNCIL The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2018, upon first reading. October 16, 2018 - Page 332 of III. BACKGROUND Cascade Village, which includes the subject properties, was approved under Eagle County jurisdiction prior to annexation by the Town of Vail in 1975 and was zoned SDD #4 in 1976. Unlike other Special Development Districts within the Town of Vail, the project does not have an underlying zone district. Originally, Lots 39-1 and 39-2 were on large residential lot permitted for a duplex. In 1982, via a major amendment to the SDD, the property was split into two (2) single family lots. This amendment also included a dedication of land to the adjacent town -owned Streamtract. In 1997, also via a major amendment to the SDD, the property became subject to the development standards of the Two-family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District, similar to other low density residential lots within the SDD, while maintaining the allowable density at one unit per lot. Although originally proposed as an option, the Vail Town Council required both lots to include an onsite Type II EHU with a minimum size of 500 square feet of GRFA. Although the required EHUs were Type II, additional allowances of GRFA, permitted under the Type II regulations, were specifically prohibited. Please see Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1998 (Attachment D of the PEC Staff memorandum, Attachment B to this memorandum) for additional information concerning this amendment. Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2016 most recently repealed, revised and reenacted the approved development standards for SDD No. 4, Cascade Village. Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2018 proposes to amend language concerning Lots 39-1 and 39-2 exclusively. IV. REVIEW CRITERIA Before acting on an SDD application, the PEC and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed SDD: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The proposed major amendment involves only the reconfiguration of an existing building envelope, minor modifications to the location of retaining walls and the creation of a recreational amenity envelope solely for at grade and below grade improvements. Future development on the site must adhere to all appropriate development standards including GRFA, site coverage and building height, which are unaffected by this proposal. As a result, the proposed amendment will have no effect on design compatibility and sensitivity to the environment and neighboring and adjacent properties. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. Town of Vail Page 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 333 of The proposed major amendment will have a minimal effect on the permitted uses, activities or site density. The proposed recreational building envelope will have a minimal impact as it is restricted to at grade and below grade development. The ability to locate the required EHU(s) off-site may result in a decrease in density on the subject properties. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Title 12, Chapter 10, Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code. The proposed major amendment may result in a reduction of the required parking for the property upon development. All future development or redevelopment will be required to provide parking in accordance with the code. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. The proposed major amendment conforms to the following elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies, and urban design plans: Vail Land Use Plan Chapter 11— Land Use Plan Goals / Policies (in part) 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. The subject property is not located within any natural or geologic hazard. Town of Vail Page3 October 16, 2018 - Page 334 of Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Future development on the site will be required to meet all applicable development standards and require a review by the Design review Board. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. The proposed major amendment will have no effect on on-site or off-site traffic circulation. The payment of a traffic impact fee will be required prior to building permit issuance. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. The proposed major amendment does not include any changes to the landscaping or open space on the site. Landscaping will be reviewed as part of any future development application before the Design Review Board. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. The proposed major amendment does not include any phasing or subdivision plan. Staff finds this criterion non -applicable. V. RECOMMENDED MOTION Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No., Series of 2018, upon first reading, the Community Development Department recommends the Council pass the following motion: "The Vail Town Council approves, on first reading, Ordinance No. 18, Series of 2018, an ordinance amending and repealing portions of Ordinance No. 5, Series of 2016 to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, Town of Vail Page 4 October 16, 2018 - Page 335 of and the ability to provide employee housing off-site, located at 1150 and 1170 Westhaven Lane/Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2, Glen Lyon Subdivision, Development Area C, SDD No. 4 (Cascade Village) and setting forth details in regard thereto."

(PEC18-0032) Applicant: Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence I. SUMMARY The applicant, Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4 (Cascade Village), Glen Lyon Subdivision, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, and the ability to provide employee housing off-site, located at 1150 and 1170 Westhaven Lane/Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2, Glen Lyon Subdivision. Based upon staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) forward a recommendation of approval, with a condition, of the major amendment to SDD No. 4, Glen Lyon Subdivision, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a major amendment to SDD No. 4, Glen Lyon Subdivision, to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, and the ability to October 16, 2018 - Page 343 of provide employee housing off-site, located at 1170 Westhaven Lane. Specifically, the applicant is requesting the following: Development Standards/Building Envelope(s) The applicant is proposing to amend both the location of the building envelope and its regulations while maintaining its size. As illustrated on the proposed building envelope exhibit (page 4 of the applicant's narrative, Attachment B), the applicant proposes to shift the envelope slightly to the south and west while maintaining the existing approved size of 10,160 square feet. The applicant proposes to amend the language concerning the building envelope to allow roof overhangs and retaining walls to be permitted outside of the envelope, consistent with current Town of Vail regulations concerning setbacks. Existing development standards for the property already allow the construction of at -grade patios to occur outside of the envelope. In addition to the building envelope modifications, the applicant is proposing a second recreational use envelope on the property where certain at and below grade improvements would be permitted. This envelope is envisioned to house a below -grade padel court, a racquet sport somewhat similar to squash with courts 1/3rd the size of a tennis court played with stringless racquets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padel (sport). Employee Housing The existing approved regulations for the subject properties, contained in Ordinance #23, Series of 1998, require the construction of a Type II Employee Housing Unit (EHU) onsite for both lots 39-1 and 39-2. The minimum required size of the units is 500 square feet of GRFA. The applicant is requesting the option to participate in the Employee Housing Deed Restriction Exchange Program (Sec. 21-13-5, Vail Town Code). The proposal is mitigate the EHU relocation at a rate of 2:1, regardless of the location of the offsite EHU. The Vail Town Code requires a mitigation rate of 2:1 when both the receiving and sending location of the EHU is outside of the Commercial Job Core, as defined. As Lots 39-1 and 39-2 are located outside of the Commercial Job Core, this proposal is consistent with the code. The applicant is requesting a deviation from the code with respect to Sec. 12-13-5 D4. This section expressly prohibits any GRFA in excess of the required GRFA to be used for future credit or to meet the requirements of the Town's Inclusionary Zoning or Commercial Linkage programs. The applicant, as part of the exchange program, will be presenting before the Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA) on September 25, 2018. Staff is not supportive of the requested deviation as the Town does not currently have the resources necessary to administer an EHU mitigation banking system. In addition to the previously referenced narrative (Attachment B), a vicinity map (Attachment A), plan set (Attachment C), and Ord. No. 23, Series of 1998 (Attachment D) are attached for review. Town of Vail Page 2 October 16, 2018 - Page 344 of III. BACKGROUND Cascade Village, which includes the subject properties, was approved under Eagle County jurisdiction prior to annexation by the Town of Vail in 1975 and was zoned SDD #4 in 1976.

SDD REVIEW CRITERIA Before acting on an SDD application, the PEC and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed SDD: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. The proposed major amendment involves only the reconfiguration of an existing building envelope, minor modifications to the location of retaining walls and the creation of a recreational amenity envelope solely for at grade and below grade improvements. Future development on the site must adhere to all appropriate development standards including GRFA, site coverage and building height, which are unaffected by this proposal. As a result, the proposed amendment will have no effect on design compatibility and sensitivity to the environment and neighboring and adjacent properties. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. The proposed major amendment will have a minimal effect on the permitted uses, activities or site density. The proposed recreational building envelope will have a minimal impact as it is restricted to at grade and below grade development. The ability to participate in the Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Program may result in a decrease in density on the subject properties. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 3. Parking and Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Title 12, Chapter 10, Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code. The proposed major amendment may result in a reduction of the required parking for the property upon development. All future development or redevelopment will be required to provide parking in accordance with the code. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. Town of Vail Page 8 October 16, 2018 - Page 350 of 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. The proposed major amendment conforms to the following elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies, and urban design plans: Vail Land Use Plan Chapter 11— Land Use Plan Goals / Policies (in part) 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 5. Natural and/or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. The subject property is not located within any natural or geologic hazard. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. Future development on the site will be required to meet all applicable development standards and require a review by the Design review Board. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. Town of Vail Page 9 October 16, 2018 - Page 351 of The proposed major amendment will have no effect on on-site or off-site traffic circulation. The payment of a traffic impact fee will be required prior to building permit issuance. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. The proposed major amendment does not include any changes to the landscaping or open space on the site. Landscaping will be reviewed as part of any future development application before the Design Review Board. Staff finds the proposal complies with this criterion. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. The proposed major amendment does not include any phasing or subdivision plan. Staff finds this criterion non -applicable. VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The proposed amendment to the SDD is not anticipated to have any environmental impacts other than those generally associated with single family home construction. In addition to meeting all required dimensional and development standards, development on the property will have to adhere to all applicable regulations concerning limits of disturbance, material storage and erosion control. IX.

A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a major amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Glen Lyon Subdivision, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, and the ability to provide employee housing off-site, located at 1150 and 1170 Westhaven Lane/Lot 39-1 and 39-2, Glen Lyon Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0032) Applicant: Ignacio Torras, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence Condition: This recommendation of approval does not include the applicant's proposed deviation from Section 12-13-5 D4 concerning the ability to bank excess EHU GRFA. Planner Spence provided an overview of the application, including the changes to the building envelope, and modifications to the required Employee Housing Unit (EHU) to allow for off-site EHU. Applicant has started the EHU Exchange Program process, and will be discussing this request with the Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA). Applicant would like to do EHU banking, in case there is excess floor area in the new EHU unit. Staff does not have the resources to keep track of banking of EHU credits. Stockmar — Can the application still move forward without banking of the EHU credit? Spence — Yes. Spence further described how building envelopes are generally used to protect topographical feature or vegetation. 45 min. October 16, 2018 - Page 355 of Kjesbo —Asked if any variances will be requested. Spence indicated no. Dominic Mauriello — We are requesting a building envelope amendment, and a revision to the required on site employee housing. When this lot was first approved, the GRFA was adjusted, and each lot was required to provide an on site EHU. At the time, there was no Employee Housing Exchange Program. We propose to provide double the amount of square footage in Employee Housing, 500 square feet is required, and 1,000 square feet would be provided. The adjacent property would also have the ability to participate in an EHU exchange. Mauriello provided a review of the existing lot dimensions and building envelope. He explained the requirements of Special Development District #4, and some of the SDD amendments. He explained how this lot was originally one large duplex lot, then in 1982 split into two single-family lots, which included a dedication of stream tract to the Town of Vail. Our proposal includes a building envelope for the home, and a separate envelope for recreational use, currently proposed for paddle ball. Mauriello explained that the Town Code does not address recreational use envelopes. Buildings would not be allowed in the recreational use envelope. He explained the proposed site plan. The site plan and design of the home have been conceptually reviewed by the Design Review Board. He also showed a video about paddle ball. Mauriello explained how the EHU Exchange Program works, and the proposed changes to the SDD needed to allow this exchange to happen. Applicant believes that we meet all required code criteria for this application. Stockmar — What happens if they never build the off-site EHU? Spence — They will be required to provide evidence of the new EHU before obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy for the new home. Lockman — Will the courts be heated, and will this be used in winter? Public Comment Eleanor Bromonte — Paddle ball is typically played during the winter months. Spence — The proposal is not to review the design of the padel court, just the request to amend the building envelopes. Lockman — Is the EHU Exchange Program ready to deal with this request? Spence — The EHU Exchange program is up and running, but we do not currently allow for EHU Banking. But that part of the program does not currently have the ability to track the credits of unneeded EHU square footage. Hopkins — No comments Perez — No comments Kjesbo — Don't see any reason for the building envelope. I'm aware of how the EHU exchanges are done, and was previously told that I could not bank EHU credits. It's a benefit to get 1,000 square feet of off-site housing. October 16, 2018 - Page 356 of Stockmar — I'm in favor of any reasonable effort to improve employee housing in town. This is a reasonable request, but I would like to see some progress on the EHU banking. Spence — EHU exchanges do not come to PEC, they are handled by staff and the VLHA. Stockmar — Proposal makes sense to me. Ludwig Kurz moved to recommend approval to Town Council with a condition.John-Ryan Lockman seconded the motionand it passed (6-0). 3.2.

October 16, 2018 - Page 357 of MAJORAMENDMENTTO SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT#4: CASCADE VILLAGE TO ALLOW FOR THE MODIFICATION OF THE BUILDING ENVELOPE ON LOT 39-1 AND THE ABILITYTO PROVIDE EMPLOYEE HOUSING OFF-SITE Mauriello Planning Group Applicant: Ignacio Torras Submitted to the Town of Vail: August 15, 2018 Revised September 18, 2018 October 16, 2018 - Page 358 of I. INTRODUCTION The owner of 1170 Westhaven Lane / Lot 39-1, Glen Lyon Subdivision, Ignacio Torras, is requesting a major amendment to Special Development District (SDD) #4 Cascade Village to allow for modifications to unique requirements placed on Lot 39-1. Specifically, the there is a building envelope located on the property and a requirement for an on-site Type2 employee housing unit (EHU). Mauriello Planning Group, representingthe owner, is requesting a Major Amendment to Special Development District No. 4 to allow for an amendment to the building envelope, language regulating the building envelope, and the ability to provide employee housing off-site. The amended employee housing provision would allow both Lot 39-1 and 39-2 participate if the owners so choose. The ap p licant is p rop osingto mitigate the relocation of the employee housing unit off-site at rate of 2:1, meaning that they will provide double the amount of square footage required. The SDD currently requires each lot to p rovide a 500 sq. ft. unit onsite, so the mitigation rate of 2:1 would be a minimum of a 1,000 sq. ft. unit to be provided. This mitigation rate mirrors the requirements of the Employee Housing Exchange Program and results in more employee housing floor area within the Town of Vail. Cascade Village was originally approvedas a PUD under Eagle County jurisdiction. The area was annexed by the Town of Vail in 1975, and zoned Special Development District No. 4 in 1976. The Special Development District has been amended over 40 times since its adoption which is not surprising given the large amount of acreage and differing uses located in the SDD. It is unique in that there is no underlying zoning for the property, and development of the site is entirely governed by the Special Development District adopting ordinance and associated develop ment p fans. Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2 have an interesting and unique history. Originally Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2 were one large duplex lot, Lot 39. In 1982, Resolution No. 10 allowed an amendment to SDD #4 to allow Lot 39 to be divided into two single-family lots, along with a land dedication to the Town's stream tract. In 1997, the then -owner, requested a major amendment to SDD #4 allowing for the lots to be subject to the GRFA requirements of the Primary/Secondary zone district like all of the other residential lots within the SDD, while maintaining the density of 1 unit per lot, plus the ability to construct a Type 2 EHU. At the time, the applicant proposed additional building envelope restrictions, limiting the area of development on the lot. During the approval process, the Town Council approved the request, adding the requirement for each lot to include the construction of a Type2 EHU. Building site for Lot 39-1, looking west 1 October 16, 2018 - Page 359 of The original 1997 building envelopes were based on a specific plan for development of the properties. The single family residence with a Type 2 EHU on Lot 39-2 was constructed in 2003. Lot 39-1 is currently vacant. At this time, the applicantis proposinga revised building envelope for Lot 39-1. In order to regulate the improvements within the building envelope more consistent with how the Town Code, the applicantis p rop osingto modify the language to allow architectural projects, retaining walls, at -grade and above grade improvements, etc., to be outside of the building envelope. Additionally, because the owner is a Padel enthusiast, a secondary recreation envelope area is being p rop osedfor a Padel court (recreational and patio imp rovementswithout a roof). The following is the current language from SDD #4 related to this application. The text indicated as strike through is proposedto be removed, while the text indicated in bold is to be added. Development Standards C. Area C, Glen Lyon Primary/Secondary and Single -Family Lots Required setbacks shall be based on the Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential District, Section 12-6D-6, Setbacks, Vail Town Code.

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW Section 12-9A-2: DEFINITIONS, Vail Town Code defines a Major Amendment as follows: Any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of dwelling or accommodation units; modify, enlarge or expand any approved special development district (other than "minor amendments" as defined in this section), except as provided under section 12-15-4, "Interior Conversions", or 12-15-5, "Additional Gross Residential Floor Area (250 Ordinance)" of this title. Section 12-9A-8: DESIGN CRITERIAAND NECESSARY FINDINGS, Vail Town Code, provides the criteria for review of a Major Amendment to a Special Development District. These criteria have been provided below, along with an analysis of how this proposal comp lies with these criteria: 1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. Applicant Response: The proposed home has been to the Design Review Board for a conceptual review and the Board was supportive of the design direction. Bulk and mass is sensitive to the environment and neighborhood. The proposedhome is well below allowable height, with the lowest level of the home partially below -grade, and the main level generally at grade. There is no upperlevel. The home has been designed to disappear into the aspen forest behind the lot. It has a planted green roof and elements of aspen trees incorporated into the home with the design goal of creating a "house in a forest." Buffer zones are preserved, with landscaping along the access road remaining and enhanced, limiting the visibility of the site from 1-70 1111,110 Winter view and Summer view of the p rop osedhome. The design looks to incorporate natural elements and disappearinto the aspen grove behind the property. 6 October 16, 2018 - Page 364 of and the Frontage Road. Vegetation along the ski way is also preserved and enhanced. The proposed changes to the building envelope will have little impact upon neighbors due to the remoteness of the property and buffer zones provided. The adjoining property owner, Lot 39-2, has revised the proposed changes to the SDD and has authorized the submittal of the application. The proposedchanges will not result in a structure with any significant increase in bulk and mass on the property. The proposalis in compliance with this criterion. 2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. ApplicantResponse All uses, activity, and density are currently allowed by the SDD for this property. There are no proposed amendments to the list of permitted, conditional, and accessory uses. Density remains the same, with one dwelling unit plus one Type2 EHU allowed per lot. As a result, the proposal is in compliance with this criterion. 3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in chapter 10 of this title. ApplicantResponse All parking requirements will be met. The p rop osedamendments have no impact on this criterion. 4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans. App licantResponse Cascade Village does not have a specific master plan beyond the Vail Land Use Plan to provide guidance on development within the area. The following land use goals and policies from the Vail Land Use Plan are ap p licableto the project: 1. General Growth / Development 1.1. Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. The Town Vail Land Use Plan offers the following goals with regard to employee housing: 5.3 Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 7 October 16, 2018 - Page 365 of 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. In 2008, the Town of Vail established the Employee Housing Strategic Plan, which brought together all of the Town's goals on employee housing into a single plan. It also p rovides guidance ap p licableto this project: The single goal of the Plan is clear and concise..."acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027." When achieved, this goal, along with the more than 698 existing deed restricted homes, ensures homes for more than 3,736 Vail residents. In this case, the applicant is proposing to mitigate employee housing at a rate of two times the size of the EHU required for this site, in effect replacing a 500 sq. ft. EHU requirement with a 1,000 sq. ft. EHU requirement which achieves the goals of the Emp loyee Housing Strategic Plan. In 2006, through the Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future process the community established a housing goal. It is as follows: "The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development." Based upon the community's work, the Vail Town Council has confirmed the Town of Vail recognizes deed restricted employee housing as basic infrastructure. This type of housing allows employees to live within the town, promoting community, and improving the quality of our local workforce, thereby supporting the local economy, and reducing regional transit needs. The Employee Housing Strategic Plan (EHSP) seeks to meet the expectations established by the community and confirmed by the Town Council and provide enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the community's workforce to live in the Town of Vail through a variety of policies, regulations and publicly initiated development projects. As indicated in this submittal, the proposalcomplieswith and furthers the purposesand goals of the Town's employee housing requirements and master plans. The proposal conforms with the goals outlined in the Vail Land Use Plan. 5. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is proposed. Applicant Response The proposed amendment has has no effect on the above criterion. According to the Town of Vail Hazard Maps (GIS), there are no natural or geologic hazards that affect the property. 8 October 16, 2018 - Page 366 of 6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community. ApplicantResponse The proposalto amend the building envelope has two important objectives for the applicant: ♦ Creating a building envelope which is similar in size to the originally adopted building envelope, but clarifying that roof overhangs and retaining walls can extend beyond the envelope, which is consistent with how all other properties are treated by the Town Code. ♦ Creating a secondary recreational use envelope for improvements such as patios and recreational facilities, specifically the allowance for the padel court the applicant is proposing. When the language regulating building envelopes was developed back in 1997 for Lot 39-1 and 39-2, the p rop osedenvelop es were extensive and covered the entire buildable area of the lots. The envelopes were similar to more traditional setbacks, and limited development to areas with slopes below 40% and protected existing vegetation on the site. The originally proposed envelopes which were reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission in 1997 were based on this graphic: • • LTON LOT W ...O.. L-1 Building envelop esfor Lot 39-1 and Lot 39-2 as reviewed and recommended ap p rovalby the Planning and Environmental Commission in 1997. The building envelop es were sited to avoid steep slop es and existing vegetation. 9 October 16, 2018 - Page 367 of However, when reviewed by the Town Council in 1998, the building envelopes had been further limited, and were ap p rovedbased on this graphic: .--e— ------ 1K-------- TH__ _ --_ f . pCt ZR __ I - / / ' eb�. 6 �� // ; / / V / WI C. i / / /1 / , /.

The building envelop es were clearly located as to encompassjust the structure itself. However, the language about what could occur outside the building envelopewas not modified to allow for site imp rovementssuch as patiosand recreation facilities or roof overhangs. These building envelopes were likely the result of additional design of the homes for the properties, and were designed to encompass the proposedhomes only. The language regarding the restrictions on what could occur outside the building envelope was not modified in responseto the reduction in the building envelope size. The proposal corrects this oversight and creates two building envelopes: one specifically for the home itself, and one that allows recreation facilities that are located appropriately on the site. In 1987, when the original Lot 39 was created, significant open space was granted to the Town. Additionally the proposed location of the building envelope and recreation use envelope are appropriately located to minimize impacts to mature vegetation up hill on the property. The p roposedenvelope is sensitive to the natural areas of the property. The p roposalis consistent with this criterion. 10 October 16, 2018 - Page 368 of 7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and off site traffic circulation. Applicant Response: There are few effects on traffic with the proposed SDD amendment. Initially, there was some concern about the ability of these lots to each have a Type2 EHU, as the development standards require a wider access to 4 units. When requiring the Type 2 EHUs, the Town Council also specifically stated that the access road width was adequate to serve these units. As a result, allowing the EHUs to be located elsewhere actually serves to bring the road width into compliance with current code, and is a benefit to the traffic anticipatedfor the units. The relocation of the building envelope does not impact the traffic circulation system. 8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function. Applicant Response The building envelope has been located in such a way as to minimize any impacts to existing trees and to ensure that development does not occur on any areas with steep slopes. This allows for the preservation of natural features on the lot. The envelope has also been located to minimize any impacts to views from adjacent property owners, specifically those from Lot 39-1 and the applicant has continued to work with this neighbor to ensure that the envelope location is appropriate and minimizes impactsto their property. 9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development district. Applicant Response There is no phasing or subdivision plan associated with this application. 11 October 16, 2018 - Page 369 of IV.

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.
