MEMORANDUM

FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: October 14, 1996
. SUBJECT: A request for two, 250's in order to construct a Type II EHU, located at 1225

1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REOUE T
In 1985, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance 4, Series of 1985, which created Chapter
(18.71) of the Vail Municipal Code, entitled "Additional Gross Residential Floor Area." 'Fhis
Chapter allows for up to 250 square feet of additional Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) to be
added to a dwelling (beyond the maximum allowance), provided certain criteria are met. The
purpose of the Additional GRFA Ordinance is to provide an inducement for the upgrading of
existing dwellings units and also for the provision of employee housing units.
In August 1995, the Town Council approved Ordinance 6, Series of 1995 which amended
Chapter 18.71, for the purpose of eliminating the ability to use the additional GRFA when a
• dwelling unit is "demo/rebuilt." This Ordinance also requires that all requests for additional
GRFA, that involve exterior changes to a building, be reviewed and approved by the Planning
and Environmental Commission.
According to Section 18.57.050 (13)(5) (Type II Employee Housing Unit, General Conditions),
" An applicant shall be permitted to apply to the Community Development Department of
the Town for additional GRFA, not to exceed five hundred (500) square feet to be used in
the construction of the EHU."
With this proposal, the applicant is requesting to use all 500 sq. ft. of the two 250 allowances, in
the construction of a Type II Employee Housing Unit at 1225 Westhaven Lane/Lot 43, Glen Lyon
Subdivision. In this proposal, the applicant wishes to construct a 526 sq. ft., Type II Employee
Housing Unit, between the proposed primary and secondary dwelling units. The applicant, on
September 23, 1996, received a conditional use permit approval from the Town of Vail Planning
and Environmental Commission, allowing for the construction of a Type II Employee Housing
Unit. The applicant will be deed restricting the 300 sq. ft., enclosed, one-car parking space, for
the use of the occupants of the Type II Employee Housing Unit. The applicanYs proposed floor
plans and building elevations, illustrating the Type II Employee Housing Unit, have been attached
for reference.

III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Chapter 18.71( Additional GRFA) and Chapter 18.57 (Employee Housing), the
Community Development Department recommends approval of this request for 500 additional •
square feet of GRFA to be utilized in the construction of the Type II Employee Housing Unit
based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
Before acting on an application for additional GRFA, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1, Fffant unnn tha oYiSti1lg tQpQgrap],y. Vaet t10n. drainaye and existina
structures.
In the staff's opinion, the 500 additional sq. ft. of GRFA being incorporated
into the Type II Employee Housing Unit, will have no negative effects upon
the existing topography, vegetation, drainage or other existing structures in
the area. Changes to the existing topography, proposed by the applicant,
wifl result in regrading that complies with the Town's 2:1 maximum slope.
Currently, grades existing on the site are in excess of the 2:1 slope
standard.
With regard to vegetation, the applicant is proposing to save all the
existing large trees on the site. Of greatest concern, is the existing
vegetation along the south bank of Gore Creek and the one, large 3'
diameter spruce tree. The applicant has agreed to take tree preservation
measures during the construction process and will install -a construction
fence around the trees that are to be saved. This will occur prior to the •
Town's issuance of a building permit.
f:\everyone\pec\memos\young.ol4 2
I
it is sta#'s opinion that the proposed new primary/secondary residence
~ with a Type II Employee Housing Unit, including the 500 sq. ft. of
• additional GRFA, will conform architecturally with the other existing
structures in the Westhaven Lane neighborhood.
2. Impact o_nadlacenL12roR4rties•
In the staff's opinion, the proposed new primary/secondary residence with
the Type II Employee Housing Unit and the 500 sq. ft. of additional GRFA
will not have any negative impacts on adjacent properties. The applicant
is proposing adequate parking, per the Municipal Code, to accommodate
vehicles parking on the site. The 500 sq. ft. of additional GRFA proposed
by the applicant will result in a minimal increase in bulk and mass of the
structure. Staff believes however, that this minimal increase in bulk and
mass will not be readily noticeable from adjacent properties. Staff would
further point out that the primary/secondary residence currently
constructed on Lot 41, to the east of the applicanYs lot, already has a Type
II Employee Housing Unit built in the structure. According to the applicant,
that unit has been occupied by an employee of Eagle County for the last
three years and has had positive impacts on the community.
3. Compliance with the Town's zoning rgquirements and applicable
development standards.
Section 18.71.020 (F) of the Town of Vai! Municipa! Code, requires that:
" Any dwelling unit that proposes to use additional GRFA shall
. comply with the standards outlined in the Town of Vail Design
Guidelines (18.54). These standards include landscaping,
undergrounding oi utilities, driveway paving and general
maintenance and upkeep of the property."
Upon review of the proposed plans by staff, the new landscaping plan for
the property wiA be in compliance with the landscape standards: the utility
line servicing the structure will be underground; the new driveway will be
paved; and it is expected that the general maintenance and upkeep of the
property will meet Town of Vail standards.
B. Findings:
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make ihe following findings before
granting approval for Additional GRFA:
1. That the granting of the requested Additional GRFA would not negatively
effect existing topography, vegetation, drainage and existing structures.
2. That the granting of the requested Additional GRFA would not negatively
impact adjacent properties.
3. That the granting of the requested Additiona! GRFA would comply with all
Town zoning requirements and applicable development standards.

.
, IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the applicant's request •
to utiiize 500 square feet of additional GRFA, in accordance with Chapters 18.57 and 18.71, to
atlow for the construction of a new Type II Employee Housing Unit at 1225 Westhaven Lane/Lot
43, Glen Lyon Subdivision. Staff believes that the review criteria have been met as discussed in
the memorandum. Regarding the Findings, staff believes that: Finding B1 is met, as the
incorporation of the 500 sq. ft. of additional GRFA wiil have minimal, if any, negative impacts on
I. the existing site; Finding B2 is met, as the 500 sq. ft. of additional GRFA wili not negatively
impact the adjacent properties; and Finding 63 is met, as the proposed 500 sq. ft. of addifionat
GRFA and the Type II Employee Housing Unit wili result in the complete compliance of the site
with the Town Zoning requiremenis and appticabfe development standards.
Staff would recommend that should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to
grant an approval of the requested 500 additional sq. ft. of GRFA, that the Planning and
Environmental Commission make findings, similar to those outlined by staff above.

1962. On November 12, 1965, an amended subdivision and a resubdivision of parts of Vail
Village First Filing was recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office. The Vail
Village Fifth Filing Resubdivision included Lot P-2, Block 3 of the Vail Village First Filing.
Pursuant to the recordation at Book 215, Page 969, the northerly portion of the Hanson Ranch
Road right-of-way east of Vail Valley Drive has been vacated.
The P-2 Association is the sole owner of Lot P-2. The P-2 Association was established as a
Colorado Corporation to govern the use and maintenance of the area known as Lot P-2. The P-2
Associarion is comprised of a multiple ownership. The owners include Vail Trails East Chalets,
the Tivoli Lodge, the Gallatyn Lodge, the Ramshorn lodge and the Vail Trails Chalets.

II. DESCRIPTION of the REQUEST
The P-2 Association is requesting a major subdivision approval in order to divide Lot P-2
into separate parcels, each to be owned by the entity which has historically occupied each ~
part of the parcel. The use of the parcels will remain a parking facility. The Association
has proposed new Declarations of Protective Covenants to govern the future use and
maintenance of Lot P-2. -
According to the official Town of Vail Zoning Map, Lot P-2 is designated Parking Zone District.
The purpose of the Parking District is to provide sites for private or public, unstructured, off-
street, vehicle parking and conditionally to pmvide for private or public, off-street vehicle parking
structures and private or public parks and recreational facilities. Permitted uses within the
Parking District include private or public, unstructured, off-street, vehicle parking facilities.
According to the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the following conditional uses shall be permitted
in the Parking District, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with
Chapter 18.60:
• private or public, off-street parking structures,
• private or public parks and recreational facilities,
• public uses, private office and commercial uses that are transportation, tourists, or
Town related that are accessory to a parking structure,
• major arcades,
• temporary construction staging sites, and
• Type III and Type IV employee housing units. •
III. REVIEVV PROCESS
Title 17, Subdivision Regulations, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code establishes the review
process and criteria for a major subdivision proposed in the Town of Vail. Pursuant to Chapter
17.16, Major Subdivision, of the municipal code, the first step in the review process is for the
applicant to meet with a Town Planner to discuss the preliminary plan. Staff has met with the
applicant on several occasions to discuss the proposal and address submittal requirements. Staff
feels the applicant has successfully complied with the initial step in the review process.
The next step in the review process sha11 be a formal consideration of the preliminary plan by the
Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Comrnission. The applicant shall make a presentation
to the Planning and Environmental Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting. The
presentation and public hearing shall be in accordance with Sections 18.66.060 through 18.66.090
of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The applicant's appearance before the Planning and
Environmental Commission on October 14, 1996, shall serve to meet the public hearing and
presentation requirement.

t
The burden of proof that the application is in compliance with the intent and purposes of the
Zoning Code and other perti.nent regulations shall lie upon the applicant.
, In reviewing the preliminary plan, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall review the
application and consider its appropriateness in regard to Town policies relating to:
i 1. Subdivision Control;
2. Densities proposed;
3. Regulations;
4. Ordinances, resolutions and other applicable documents;
5. EnvironmentalIntegrity;
6. Compatibility with surrounding land uses; and
7. Effects upon the aesthetics of the Town and surrounding land uses. The PEC shalt have twenty-one days from the date of the review of the preliminary plan to

The Council shall have thirry days to affirm, reverse, or affirm with modifications the PEC
decision. The appeal hearing shall be held during a regularly scheduled council meeitng.
The final step in the review process of a major subdivision request, after PEC preliminary plan
• review, is the review of the final plat. At any time within one year after the PEC has taken action
on the preliminary plan, a final plat shall be submitted to the Town of Vail Community
Development Department. The staff shall schedule a final review of the final plat. The final
review shall occur at a regularly scheduled PEC public hearing. The review criteria for a final plat

Engineer due to the nature of the subdivision.
IV. STAFF ANAI YSIS OF MAJOR SUBDIVISiON RFVIEW CRITERIA
Section 17.16.110 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code provides the criteria by which a proposed
major subdivision is to be reviewed. Staff has reviewed the proposed preliminary plan for the
major resubdivision of Lot P-2, Block 3, and a portion of vacated Hansen Ranch Road, Vail
Village Fifth Filing, and our analysis is listed below:
1. Subdivision Control
As the applicant is not proposing development on the newly created lots, staff does not
feel this criteria is applicable.
2. Densities Prolwsed Lat P-2 is currently zoned Parldng District. The only permitted use in the parking district
is private or public unstructured off-street vehicle parking. All other uses are conditional
uses. The conditional uses permitted subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit
are listed on page 2, in section II of this memorandum. The Parking District does not I
permit the development of dwelling units with the exception of Types III and IV employee •
housing units.
The applicant has prepared protective covenants restricting the use of the newly created
lots to parking only. Staff feels the protective covenants and the existing zoning
adequately restricts future development on the lots. Staff further finds that any future
changes of use on any or all of the lots would require not anly a change to the covenants,
but the review and approval of the Town of Vail via a conditional use pernut and/or a
change in fhe zoning designation on the property.
3. Re lation
Staffreviewed the regulations prescribed by the Town of Vail Municipal Code for the
Parking Zone District. According to Section 18.34.0I0 of the municipal code, the
purpose of the Parking District is intended to provide sites for private and public
unstructured off-street vehicle parking and to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open
space for each valid use in adjacent areas. Unlike most other zone districts, the Parking
District does not prescribe a minimum lot size or a minimum street frontage requirement.
F:\EVERY0NBPEC1IvIEM0S\p2assoc.o14 4
. •
S
I The lots being proposed are substandard for all other zone districts requiring minimum lot
sizes, thus limiting the potential uses of the newly created lots to anything other than .
~ parking.
Staff believes the proposed major subdivision complies vcnth the applicable regulations.
The applicant is proposing to continue the private off-street parking use of Lot P-2, as it
has historically been used.
4. Ordinances, resolutions and other Mlicable documents
In reviewing this proposal, staff relied upon the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the
restrictions recorded on the plat, and the Vail Land Use Plan. The issues relating to the
municipal code have been addressed previously.
The preliminary plan and proposed protective convenants restrict the future use of Lot P-
2. The restrictions include limitations of the use of Lot P-2 to parking of passenger
vehicles having a weight of less than 10,000 pounds, landscaping and underground utility
lines; prohibition on construction above ground level except landscaping; retaining walls
necessary for the support of parking; obligations of the owners to maintain and repair
paving, retaining walls, irrigation, landscaping, etc; and enforcement, liability and
easements. The future use of Lot P-2 is further restricted by the existing protective
covenants recorded at Book 253, Page 48, by the agreement establishing the P-2
Association recorded at Book 386, Page 32, and the consent recorded at Book 392, Pages
248-250.
• To further insure that development on the property is restricted, in accordance with the
protective covenants proposed, staff is recommending that the applicant add the above
described restrictions on the plats as plat notes. This in effect prevents the future use of
Lot P-2 to change without approval from the Town of Vail. Private protective covenants
can be altered without Town of Vail review and approval. Any amendment to a final plat
would require the Town of Vail review and approval.
The Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan contains goals which staff
considers to be applicable to the major subdivision request. The applicable goals include:
UAIL LAND USE PLAN:
1. General Growth / Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a conbrolled environment,
maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and
recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent
resident.
F:\EVERYONE\PEC\MEMOS\p2asaoc.o 14 5
~
1,2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other
natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. ~
~ 11 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded
- whenever possible.
12 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard
areas.
VAIL VILLAGE lYLA TER PLAN:
Goal #3 To recognize as a top priority the en6ancement of the walking
j ezperience throughout the Village.
3.1 ' iv : Physically improve the existing petiestrian ways by
landscaping and other improvements.
3.4 Objective: Develop additional sidewalks, pedestrian only wallcways
and accessible green space areas including pocket parks and stream
access.
' 3.4.2 koicv; Private developement projects shall be required to
incorporate new sidewalks along streets aajacent to the
project, as designated in the Vail Village Master Plan and / •
or Recreation Trails Master Plan.
According to the East Village Sub-Area Plan (0), a key objective is to provide improvements in
the sub-area related to pedestrian and bicycle safety. Sab-area plan component #7-3, Vail Valley
Drive sidewalk, indicates that:
" a sidewallc (separated from the road where possible) through the sub-area linking the
Golden Peak Base facility with the Vail Transportation Center. Landscape improvements
and pedestrian cross-walks to be included as required to meet demands of pedestrian
braffic. Special emphasis is placed upon the goals and objectives 3.1 and 3.4."
5. Environmentat Integn~
Staffbelieves the proposed major subdivision does not adversely affect the integrity of the
environment. The applicant is not proposing to increase the amount of impervious surface
of the existing parking on Lot P-2. Staff believes this has a positive effect on water
quality as it does not increase the surface run-off from the area. The applicant is also
proposing to preserve and continue to maintain the landscaping existing on Lot P-2.
Currently, numerous maturing Aspen and Spruce trees aze growing on the property. The
F:\EVERYONBPEG\MEMOS\p2a.ssoc.o 14 6 ,
r
~
applicant has provided for future maintenance by means of protective covenants. Staff
feels this too ha.s a positive effect on the natural and built environment.
• 6. CQ=atibili with Surrounding Land Uses
The existing use of Lot P-2 is unstructured off-street vehicle parking for five residential
properties in the area (Ramshorn, Gallatyn, Vail Trail Chalets, Tivoli and Vail Trails East).
This use has been in place since the early 1960's when the properiy was originally platted.
The applicant is not proposing to change the existing use. Staff believes the major
subdivision will not negarively impact existing or potential surrounding uses.
7. Effects J~pon the Aesthetics of the Town and Surrounding Land Uses
Again, the use of the property is not changing. The only change resulting from the major
subdivision is the ownership structure. Instead of Lot P-2 being owned in common by five
entities, the entire lot will be divided into separate ownership. Each newly created lot will
be deeded back to the user of historic record. The five parking lots have been kept in
good repair and the landscaping has been well maintained. Staff does not believe the
aesthethics of the area will be negatively impacted as a result of an approval of the
proposed request for a major subdivision.
According to the regulations goveming subdivisions in the Town of Vail, the staff, PEC and/or
Council have the ability to require certain improvements when approving majar subdivisions.
These improvements are listed on page 3, in section III of this rnemorandum. Staff has reviewed
• the list of possible improvements and waived all improvements except bicycle and pedestrian
paths linked to the Town system.
Upon review of the site, a portion of sidewalk along the east side of Vail Valley Drive adjacent to
the Ramshorn parking area is missing. The sidewalk was never constructed in this area since
several large evergreens are growing in the right of way. The sidewalk could be constructed if the
trees were removed. Staff inet with the applicanY s representative regarding the "Fown's desire to
construct the missing portion of sidewalk. The staff is requesting that the applicant dedicate an
eight foot wide pedestrian easement to the Town. The pedestrian easement would allow the for
the construction of the missing portion of sidewalk without requiring the large evergreen trees to
be removed. Staff would recommend the PEC discuss the issue of the pedestrian easement with
the applicant prior to taking any action on the major subdivision request.
V. STAFF RECONIMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the preliminary plan for a
major subdivision of Lot P-2, Block 3, and a vacated portion of Hansen Ranch Road, Vail Village
Fifth Filing. Staff finds that the applicant's proposal meets the seven review criteria for a major
subdivision as outlined in section IV of this memorandum.
• F:\EVERYONE\PEG\AEMOS\p2assoc.ol4 7
.
Al
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to grant an approval of the proposed
major subdivision, staff would recommend that the approval carry with it the following .
conditions:
1. Prior to scheduling a review of the final plat befare the Planning and Environmental •
' Commission, the applicant shall amend the proposed major subdivision to include an eight-
foot wide pedestrian easement across a portion of proposed Lot 2 and existing Lot A,
Block 3, Vail Village Fifth Filing. The location of the pedestrian easement shall be
reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer.
2. That the applicant add the restrictions prescribed by the proposed protective covenants
as plat notes to the final plat, to ensure that said restrictions can not be amended without
Town norification and approval.

~ Summary of Request
For Resubdivision Of
' Lot P-2, Block 3,
Vail Village Fifth Filing
Lot P-2, Block 3, Vail Village Fifth Filing is one of those
lots oriqinallv platted bv Vail Associates for the purpose of
providinq parkincZ,for Vail Villaqe. The property, which now
includes an abandoned portion of Hanson Ranch Road, is now owned by
P-2 Association, a non-profit association comprised of the owners
of two adjacent lodges and three ad-iacent condominium association.
The property has, since its creation, been divided into five
separate areas of use, one for each member of the Association. The
proposed resubdivision is reQUested for the purpose of legally
dividinQ the property in a manner establishing ownership of those
five areas of use, and eliminatinq the existence of the Association
which has historicallv served no purpose other than to hold title
to the property as a single entity.
By the proposed subdivision, each current Association member
would acquire that portion of Lot P-2 which it has historically
used. The parcel would be governed bv covenants which insure that
it will continue to be used for parkinq purposes and also establish
responsibilitv for the maintenance of the vegetation which has been
~ established and maintained on the property by the members of the
Association. The use of the property will remain parking,
consistent both with the zoning governing the property and with the
covenants originally placed on the property by Vail Associates.
The compatibility of the property with adjoining properties is
established by the fact that it supports five adjoining properties
- by providing parking facilities for the lodging and residences
located on those properties.

1. PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The applicant is requesting a major SDD amendment to modify the approved development plan
for Phases 2 and 3 of Savoy Villas, located in Phase II, Development Area B, in Special
Development District #5 (Simba Run/Vail Run). The property is located at 1230. Lions Ridge
Loop and is bounded by the Timber Ridge Apartments to the west, the North Frontage Road to
the south, Simba Run to the east, and Lions Ridge Loop to the north.
fleveryone/peclmemos/savoy.oct 1
•
i
II. BACKGROUND
Ordinance #6, Series of 1976, originaily established SDD #5 and set the parameters for the
development of the Vail Run Building. Ordinance #29, Series of 1977, amended and expanded •
the SDD to include the addition of 6.3 acres immediately to the west of Vail Run and divided the
SDD into what is now known as Development Area A(Vail Run) and Development Area B
(Simba Run/Savoy Villas). The development standards for both areas were specificaliy
stipuiated in this ordinance. SDD #5 was further modified by the passage of Ordinance #33,
Series of 1978, and Ordinance #24, Series of 1986.
On August 17, 1993, the Vail Town Councii approved Ordinance #16, Series of 1993. This
ordinance significantty modified the approved devetopment plan for the western portion, or what
is now known as Phase II, of Development Area B. The original development plan for the Phase
II portion of the Simba Run development included one large building. This building was desjgned
to be similar to the existing Simba Run buildings (Phase I), which are located immediately to the
east. These buildings were approximately 260 feet in length and approximately 250 feet in width.
The original project was designed to take access off of Lions Ridge Loop (one curb cut) and
included a fairly large surface parking area, as well as one level of underground (structured)
parking.
The 1993 amendment included a series of six smaller buildings know as Savoy Villas (Phases 1,
2, and 3). The proposal included 4 four-plex buildings and one four unit employee housing
building, all of which took access off of Lions Ridge Loop to the north. The sixth building was a
tri-plex, taking access from the exisring Simba Run driveway adjacent to the North Frontage
Road. The parking for the project was almost equaiiy divided beiween enciosed parking and
surface parking. On the northern bench of this site, each condominium was proposed to have a
one-car garage, and on the lower, or southern part of this site, each condominium would have
had a two-car garage. Architecturally, the design was very similar to that of the existing Simba
Run project, although smaller in scale. Upon approval of Ordinance #16, Series of 1993, the ~
remaining number of dwelling units and GRFA on the property was reduced to zero for the entire
Development Area B. Also included in Ordinance #16, Series of 1993, was a requirement to
construct and maintain a public pedestrian path through the property (north to south) and grant a
public access easement to the Town of Vail.
The 1993 amendment originally consisted of nineteen condominium units and four deed-
restricted employee housing units. The application was later modified at the Town Council
review in order fo allow for one additional dwelling unit and to permanen#ly deed-restrict three
existing condominium units (Units 2207, 2401, and 2402) in the Simba Run development (Phase
I) as Type III employee housing units. In exchange for the permanent restriction of these three
units, the Council agreed to release the exisbng employee housing restrictions on three
additionaI dweIling units in Simba Run (Units 1201, 1205 and 2205), which although they were
required to be empioyee housing units, had deed restrictions which would soon expire, allowing
them to become free-market dwelling units.
fJeveryone/pec/memos/savoy.ocl 2
is
i -
SDD #5 was most recently amended in 1995 by Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1995. That
amendment provided the following changes:
•Relocation of One Condominium Unit - The 1993 SDD amendment was approved by the
. PEC with a total of nineteen dwelling units. However, when the project was reviewed by
the Town Council, a iwentieth unit was approved. This dwelling unit was added to
Building #5 of Savoy Villas (Phase 2).
•Relocation of Two Deed-Restricted Em I~oyee Housina Units -The applicant agreed to
. deed restrict 5 existing dwelling units as Type III EHUs in Simba Run and deed restrict
two dwelling units in Building #5, Savoy Villas (Phase 2). The deed restrictions on the 5
uniis in Simba Run have now been executed and recorded.
•Reduction in Office Area - The 1993 approved development plan included a 1,302
square foot office space located on the entire lower level of the employee housing
building (Building #5). The applicant amended the plan in order to relocate one of the two
remaining employee housing units in Building #5, thereby reducing the size of the office
space to 686 square feet.
•Relor.ation of Triplex Driveway - The 1993 approved development plan showed that the
proposed driveway access to the three townhouse units on the lower bench of the site .
was originally proposed via the existing Simba Run curb cut off of the North Frontage _
Road. The amended plan modified the development plan, providing a new curb cut
adjacent to the western property line to be used solely for the three dwelling units. ~
•Reduction in Surtace Parkina S ap ces - The 1993 approved development plan showed a
seven space, unenclosed, parking area between the easternmost four-plex (Building #4)
and Building #5. As a result of the transfer of two employee housing units from Building
~ #5 to the Simba Run Building and the relocation of the "twentieth" condominium unit to V`
the upper bench, which includes a two-car garage, there was a net reduction in the
parking requirement. Three unenclosed parking spaces were eliminated on the property.
•Relocation of the Pedestrian Path - The 1993 approved development plan shows that ~
the pedestrian path traverses the Phase II property from the north (between Building #5
and Building #4) to a point midway down the property to the south, at which time it then
_ crosses onto the Simba Run property. The approved plan also called for the bike path
adjacent to the North Frontage Road to be realigned to accommodate the proposed
driveway to the triplex. The amended plan provided a pedestrian path between Building
# 3 and Building #4, south to the bike path along the North Frontage Road.
•ChangQs to the Architectural Character of Buildings #5 and #6 - The architectural
character of the buildings were slightly modified.
•
fJeveryone/pechnemosisavoy.oct 3
111. DESreRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
; Currentty Buildings #1 and #2 are constructed on the site. Design Review approvai has been
' given for Building #3 and #4 and they wilt be deveioped according to the 1995 plan which
remains unchanged for this portion of the site. •
Building #5, under the 1995 plan and SDD ordinance, contained 3 units, 2 of which were EHUs.
The plan aiso included a 686 sq. ft. office space for the condominium association and a 466 sq.
ft. two-car garage for the free market unit. The proposed plan converts these spaces into living
area within the same building envelope of the 1995 approval. Therefore the building envelope is
unchanged.
The percentage of enclosed parking in Savoy Viilas has been reduced, due to the elimination of
this garage space, from 52% (24 spaces) in 1995 to 47% (22 spaces in 1996).
The proposed modffication to the 1995 approved plans include an increase in the number
of free market units and GRFA in Savoy Viilas by adding 896 sq. ft. of GRFA and one
additional unit to Building #5 in Phase 2, for a total of 21 units for the entire project.
Building #5 will now contain 2 free market units and 2 Type Iii EHUs, which have been reduced in '
size to 600 sq. ft. each. The two EHUs will contain 600 sq. ft. of GRFA each and the 2 free
market units will contain at total of 2,715 sq. ft. of GRFA. Common area stairways contain 403
sq. ft. of floor area. Therefore, this structure will contain 3,915 sq. ft. of GRFA total.
The parking required for these 4 units is 6 parking spaces. Two parking spaces are required for
each free market unit and 1 parking space is required for each EHU (since each EHU is 600 sq.
ft. or less in GRFA). The propased plan provides 6 surface spaces for Building #5 and 1
additional parking space required for Building #4. The proposal eliminates 2 enclosed parking
spaces in Building #5.
The pedestrian path required for the development by the previous approval has been relocated a
between Buildings #2 and #3 and connects with the driveway proposed for Phase 3(Building #6).
The remainder of the plan rernains unchanged from the previous approval.
The 1995 ordinance has many specific requirements with respect to the phasing of the
development, the recordation of the pedestrian, bike path (public access), and drainage
easements, the timing of the recordation of EHU restrictions, and the final approval of the access -
to the North Frontage Road by CDOT and the Town Engineer. .
A copy of the proposed ordinance is attached.

VI. CRrI'ERIA TO BE USED IN EVALUATING THIS PROPOSAL
As stated in the zoning code, the purpose of the special development district is to:
• encourage flexibility and creativiry in the development of land in order to
promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of
new development within the town; to facilitate the adequate and economical
provision of streets and utilities; to preserve #he natural and scenic features of
open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in
the Vail Comprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a special
development district, in conjunction with a property's underlying zone district, shall
establish the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included
in the special development district."
The following are the nine special development district criteria to be utilized by the Planning and
Environmental Commission when evaluating SDD amendment proposals:
A. 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 staff believes that the applicant has done a reasonable job with the overall site
planning of the project to insure that the project meets this criterion. Staff believes that
the proposed modifications to the approved plan are minor with respect to the overall
project, with the exception of the loss of 2 enclosed parking spaces. The proposal does
not change the orientation of the buildings, increase the bulk and mass of the structures,
increase the height of structures, or increase the site coverage of structures on-site. The
~ proposal does increase the number of unenclosed parking spaces and therefore having a
potential deleterious effect on the project as well as the neighborhood. Therefore, the
overall effect of the building changes are minimal, but that the impacts due to the loss of
2 enclosed parking spaces may not meet this criterion.
B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
It is staff's position that the approved residential use of this site, and the proposed
amendment, is compatible with the existing uses on surrounding properties. The
proposed density on Savoy Villas (number of units) is being increased by one free market
dwelling unit, as a result of this amendment request. The resulting density of twenty-one
free-market units and two deed restricted employee housing units is compatible with the
High Density Residential identification that the Town of Vail Land Use Plan has placed on
this property.
C. Compliance with the parking and loading requirements as•outlined in Chapter
18.52.
The proposal for Savoy Villas provides 47 total parking spaces, 22 (47%) of which are
enclosed garage spaces. Building #5 is proposed to have no enclosed parking spaces.
The 1995 plan provided 46 total parking spaces for SavQy Villas, 24 (52%) of which were
enclosed garage spaces. The number of parking spaces has been increased by one
space even though an additional free market unit was added, due to the reduction in the
size of the Type III EHUs. An EHU of 600 sq. ft. or less is only required one parking
• space. The surface lot adjacent to Building #5 was increased by 3 parking spaces.
7
The original SDD ordinance required 85% of the parking on the entire site (Savoy Viilas,
Simba Run and Vail Run) to be enclosed parking. The 1995 approvai ailowed a deviation
to this requirement, allowing 84.4% to be enclosed parking for the entire site. The
proposed amendment will reduce the overall enctosed parking to 82.87% of the total
parking provided on-site. Staff believes that this amendment does not meet this criterion ~
as the proposal deviates too far from the origina! SDD approval. Staff believes the floor
plan for Building #5 could be modified to provide a iwo-car garage without changing the
building footprint. Staff is concerned abaut the deleterious effect this proposal will have
on the neighborhood due to the increased number of surface parking spaces proposed
and the fact that no additional "guesY" parking spaces are provided. Visitors to tenants in
Building #5 will be forced to illegally park in the street. See the Zoning Analysis for more
information.
i
D. Conformity with applicable elements of the Vai! Comprehenslve Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plans.
1. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan identifies this area as High Density
Residential (HDR). High Density Residential is defined in the Land Use
Plan as follows:
"The housing in this category would rypically consist of multi-floored
structures with densities exceeding fifteen dwelling units per buildable
acre. Other activities in this category would include private recreational
facilities, and private parking facilities and institutional/public uses such as
churches, fire stations and parks and open space facilities."
The overall density of Savoy Villas is 13.5 units/acre (excluding the 2 EHUs). The
overall density of SDD #5 is approximately 18.8 units/acre (exciuding the 7 EHUs).
2. The foNowing are the applicable Land Use Plan goals and policies which ~
relate to this proposal:
Goal 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled
environment, maintaining a balance belween
residential, commercial and recreational uses to
serve both the visitor and permanent resident.
Goal 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional
growth in existing developed areas (in-fill areas).
Goal 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to
occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as
appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not
exist.
Goal 5.3 Affordabie employee housing should be made
available through private efforts, assisted by limited
incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with
appropriate restrictions.
Goal 5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the
market place demands for a full range of housing
types.
•
8
Goal 5.5 The existing empioyee housing base should be
• preserved and upgraded. Additional employee
housing needs should be accommodated at varied
• sites throughout the community.
The staff believes that the proposed amendment to the approved development
plan is in compliance with the Town's Land Use Plan.
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
Savoy Villas is located within a high severity rockfall hazard zone. The applicant's
geologist, Nicholas Lampiris, has reviewed the 1993 approved development plan and has
stated that the berming along Lions Ridge Loop (south side), combined with internal
mitigation for the two eastern-most buildings, is sufficient to mitigate the rockfall hazard.
The proposed amendment to the approved development plan should not have major
effects on the previously approved rockfall mitigation plan for the property, however, an
updated hazard report is required prior to the issuance of a building permit for Building
#5.
F. 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.
Staff believes that the proposed modifications to the previously approved 1995 plan are !
not significant and should not have a negative effect on the overall quality of the plan.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing ~ on and off-site traffic circulation.
Site PlanNehicular Access.
The proposed access to the site remains unchanged from the 1995 approval. '
Pedestrian Access.
As mentioned previously, the ordinance which approved the existing development plan
includes a condition that the applicant construct and maintain a public pedestrian path
through the property, in order to allow for continued pedestrian access from the Lions
Ridge Loop area down to the North Frontage Road. The proposed pedestrian path is
rslocated slightly by this request.
H. Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize
and preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
The landscaping is slightly impacted due to the additional surface parking space being
provided. However, the landscaping on the balance of the site remains the same.
Overall, staff believes that the landscaping plan generally provides adequate screening
and green space throughout the site.
9
•
I. Phasing plan or subdivision pian that will maintain a workable, functionai and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the special development .
district.
The applicant is not proposing any changes to the previously approved phasing plan for ~
the project. The construction of the buildings on the Savoy Vi!!as property will occur in
ihree phases. Phase I consists of the two condominium buildings (eight dweliing units)
located on the northwest corner of the site (construction completed). Phase II consists of
2 four-plex buildings (Buildings #3 and #4) which have been approved based on the 1995
plan, and Building #5 which contains 2 EHUs and 2 free market units. The final phase of
the project consists of the three townhomes (Building #6) located on the fower bench of
the property. Staff believes that the previous(y approved phasing plan for the Savoy
Villas project is acceptable.
VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff is recommending approval of the applicanYs request for a major modification to Special
Development District No. 5, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant modify the site plan and floor plans for Building #5 to provide a two-
car garage, within the proposed building envelope, in order to comply with the
parking requirements of SDD #5.
2. The applicant provide an update to the hazard report for the property prior to
obtaining a Building Permit for Building #5 of Savoy Villas.
3. That the approval is subject to the language and conditions found in the Draft
Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1996.
We believe that the proposed modifications to the previously approved plan, with the exception of ~
the parking, comply with eight of the nine Special Development District review criteria listed in
this memorandum.

=PROBLEM STATEMENT
Ford Park currently accommodates a wide variety af
recreatronal and cultural uses within its limited 39 acre
area. These uses, which take place aimost exclusively ,
during the 5 month period of May to September, include
outdoor recreation, softbali fields, tennis courts, soccer
fields, concerts and vther performances, alpine gardens, I
an historical schooi house, nature center, waiking paths, picnic pavillion, playground, administrative offices, park
~ user and skier parking, special events, loading and
delivery, trash removal, bicycling, fishing, and whife
water sports.
No eomprehens+ve decision-making framework
currently exists for evaluating present or future
management and park use issues, which results in an
arbitrary and inconsistent management process.
How will the Town of Vail manage multiple, and
sometimes conflicting uses, within or improvements to
Ford Park and its infrastructure in a manner consistent
with ownership and stewardship responsibilities?

- MANAGEMENT PLAN

WHAT WE HEA RD,..,.
1. ?pen and green space was wh y the park was bought and is stili
an important function of the park and the town shouldn't "screw it
up" by over deve/oping it. The character of the park is fine the way
it is. None of the current uses should be discarded.
2. The multip/e access points and means into the park are a good
thing. However, they are not as convenient, easy to use, easy to
find, or attractive as they could be. Circulation within the park is ,
a/so inconvenient and reduces the best use of the park. Non !
-vehicu/ar means of access should be promoted such as mass
transit and walk paths. -
~
3. Consistent with the urging to "not screw it up" by over •
developing the park, comments regarding the proposed A/pine
Gardens education center re/ated to the impacts on the park. Many
of the comments were actually questions indicating the concept
was not well understood. Some thought the education center was
a duplication of, or at least consistenf wifh, the function of fhe
Nature Center. Most agreed if the education center is going to
exist, it must be adjacent to ar within the gardens.
4. Parking is a serious problem at the park. The so/ution probabl y
involves more than one aspect. Improving bus service and the
wa/king connections are part of the so/ution. On-site parking, if
expanded, should be underground with green space on top. The
probable best location for this structure is the existing gravel lot.
The town should nof be financially responsib/e for providing day
skier parking while VA seiis spaces at Goiden Peak. Winter
parking use should be compatib/e with winter activities within the
park, and / or emp/oyee parking. ~

PLAN FRAMEWORK
l. Preservation/Protection '
A. Existing zoning classification of Ford Park is General
Use. Permitted, conditional, and accessory uses included in the general use classification are appropriate. Through modifying the I
existing master pian, areas within Ford Park with particular
aesthetic or environmenta/ significance be delineated as
preservation areas where no further development may occur. The
uses allowed could mirror the natural area preservation zone
districts which are passive oufdoor recreation and open space.
B. Revise the master p/an to include and define
the following:
1. Allowab/e uses within the park.
~ 2. Design guidelines and minimum
consfrucfion sfandards.
3. Set maximum sizes for project or buiidings =
that could be ailowed.
, ll. Facility Operations
A. Loading and Delivery. Leasees operating facilities
within Ford Park are required to minimize vehicu/ar intrusions into
the park. All deliveries and /oading wiil be scheduled to occur
between the hours of 6 am and 9 am. All vehicles must be out of the
park areas by 9 am. All leasees will provide adequate space within
their facility to accomodate storage requirements.
B. Trash Removal. Leasees operating facilities within
Ford Park are required to utilize a centralized trash/refuse col/ection
and pickup tacility. No individual trash dumpsters will be allowed.
A/l outdoor trash or recycling receptacles will be of an approved
animal proof design.

PLAN FRAMEWORK (CONTIFD) C. Maintenance. Primary access routes to all
buildings, structures, and facilities are to be swept, ,
cieared of snow and ice, and repaired on a routine basis. .
Primary access routes are fo be designated by the Director of Public Works and Transportation.
All buildings, structures, and facilities are to recei ve I
routine maintenance to include painting, staining, ~
s/eaning, debris removal, landscape maintenance, etc. to
ensure they remain in a safe serviceab/e and useable
condition.
D. Coordination and scheduling. All events and
activities programmed by the Town of Vail or the leasees
~ wiil be based on a master schedule prepared by the
Director of Public Works and Transportation (PW/T).
Overiapping events which create parking demands which
exceed space and transit service capacities will not be
ailowed. Requests for scheduling will be made to the
Director of PW/T no /ess than one month and no more
than 12 months prior to the requested date. The Town
Council will establish priorities if there are conflicts.

ISSUES ~
A. Parking
1. Mixed comments on this issue
- Remove al/ parking,
- Build structure under fields and
i let VA pay for them,
- Make the bus from the VTC the easiest way to
' get to the park.
- Improve the existing surface /ot only,
- Build a structure under the existing lot and
use it for emp/oyee parking,
2. So/utions to the parking issue may involve more
than one aspect.
- Reduce demand for parking by making it
. easier to use the bus, by making it easier to
walk and by coordinating schedules to ~
eliminate over/apping events.
- Reconfigure existing parking areas, posibly
expand existing parking areas somewhat to
maximize the potential number of space.
, Remember that Frontage Road improvements
require approval from CDOT and the /oss of
some parking spaces.
. 3. The primary issue becomes the number of
~ spaces to be pro vided.
- VA has requested that the option of a day
skier parking facility be /eft open.
- Public comment was mixed as to whether day
skier parking was appropriate. Several
thought VA should pay for it if it is to be built.
- Most agreed that if a parking structure is to be ~
built it shou/d go under the existing grave/ lot.

ISSUES (CONT"D)
B. A/pine Gardens Education Center ,
1. Mixed comments on this issue as well. ,
- Don't build anything more or new in the park. i
- Earth covered center in the park is ok.
- Put in soccer fieid parking lot and bury it. ~
- Combine with Nature center or use another
existing facitity in the park.
- It is important that the educafion center be ~

I Galen Aasland disciosed, for the record, that he had done work ior Bob Lazier in the past,
however, he didn't see it as a problem with this request.
~ John Schofield disclosed, for the record, that he was currently working for Bob Lazier, but it had •
' nothing to do with this proposal.
~ Dirk Mason gave an overview of the request. Based on the staff analysis, staff was
recommending approval with the two conditions as stated in the staff inemo.
Greg Moffet asked if the applicant would like to comment.
~ Art Abplanalp, representing the P-2 Association, expanded on the history of the request. He
stated that the property was established in the early `70's and owned by VA. The ownership
~ boundaries now were those that were established in the 70's. The owners don't want to be liable
~ for anyone's actions. Of the two conditions presented by staff, he stated we would like to make a
change on the 2nd. It needs to be changed to read, the Town of Vaii must take action on any
' proposals within 30 days. Art also stated that the sidewalk conflicts with trees, vegetation and
parking. Art suggested that this was nat the place for the sidewalk, therefore, Condition No. 1
, should be removed.
Diane Milligan, Manager of the Ramshorn, was in favor of the resubdivision, if only to make
liabilities easier to handle. She had a problem with Condition No. 1. Less than a year ago, the
~ PEC voted unanimously by a vote of 7-0, that the sidewalk not be located on the east side of the
street. There was even discussion at the November 27, 1995 PEC meeting regarding the
Golden Peak Redevelopment, that the sidewalk that existed be removed. The most ihat was to
be in this location was a crasswalk only. The pracess was to came before the PEC and the
Council also agreed not to take out the trees. The issue was not about one or two trees, but the
aesthetics of the area. Diane advised to stick to the original decision, as it was thought to be a •
done deal. Diane stated that we have to say no; we don't want this sidewalk.
Greg Moffet asked for any more public comment.
Dirk Mason said that he spoke to Greg Hall prior to this meeting. The granting of this pedestrian
easement would preserve the six 30' tall trees.
Greg Moffet said the Golden Peak discussion did not include a sidewalk on that side of the road,
on the east side of Vail Valley Drive. Council felt it was not the appropriate time to put a sidewalk
in at that time. However, it did not become a dead issue at that time That was the Town right-
of-way.
Jim Lamont, Executive Director of the East Village Homeowner's Association, stated that there
was not to be a sidewalk on the east side of Vail Valley Drive. We requested the main sidewalk
be on the west side of the street. The decision was for the east sidewalk to be yanked out. The
traffic flow was to be evaluated after this season. We want to suggest to look more seriously at
the Chalet Road access. The right-of-way has been abandoned in front of the Texas
Townhomes. The Town Engineer should not press an issue, when the PEC and the Town
Counc+l voted no on it before. We are not in favor of easements being granted.
Diane Milligan showed photos and demonstrated the traffic fiow of people in that area. The
tendency of peop(e would be to noi walk around the island on the s+dewaik, rather they wouid
take a stra'sght path on the road.
P{anning and Environmcntal Commission ~
Minutes
October 14, 1996 2
Jim Lamont stated that when the Golden Peak Redevelopment finai plan was submitted,
• including all improvements, the sidewalk was back on the plan. Jim stated that at that time they
registered a complaint and the sidewalk came out of the plans.
John Schofield was farniliar with the area, as he drives it daily. He echoed what Jim and Diane
~ have said. He could only see people using the sidewalk in the summer. He felt that the Town
should bond the life of the trees. He stated his concern, that a sidewalk with so many curbcuts
, would not be safe. John stated that he couldn't support the sidewalk.
Gene Usefton, having read ihe minutes of the November 27th meeting, agreed with John on the
sidewalk. He didn't have any problem with the rest of the proposal.
Greg Amsden said it was appropriate for staff to request easements with this type of proposal.
This location was a strategic site in Town. Greg stated that the Town of Vail should sign the
covenants.
Art Abplanalp stated that the Town was not a party in this request. Art would like to see the
condition read, that if the Town didn't react within 30 days, they would then waive their rights.
Mike Mollica stated that he agreed with Art, but the Town would like some say regarding certain
elements of the covenants.
Art Abplanalp stated that he would like assurance that if we couldn't get the Town into action,
we would like to be able to proceed.
Galen Aasiand, although he agreed with the comments, said this didn't serve the Town's
• interests. Galen explained that applicants can place restrictive covenants on their praperty, and
that the covenants may not be in the interests of the Town.
Art Abplanalp stated that the covenants were VA's and we were reinforcing them.
Jim Lamont said we weren't prescribing any other use other than what was originally adopted.
Henry Pratt said if there was a need for a sidewalk, it could be done when the trees died. Henry
was not in favor of an easement. Henry stated that it would be taking away an opportunity to put '
something nicer in than what's there now.
~
Greg Moffet said despite the fact that the easement issue had been discussed and turned down,
it was appropriate for the staff to ask. Greg said Chalet Fioad was much more appropriate for a
secondary pedestrian path. Greg said that if we voted to inciude the covenants, the Town
Attorney should review those covenants. Henry Pratt said that +t was his understanding we were not adding new covenants. '
Art stated that there were new covenants added that the Town had required for maintenance.
They were delivered to the Community Development Department three weeks ago. The Town
involvement was the only new covenant.
Galen Aasland asked if the new covenants that were being created would supersede the old
ones?

were added as a response to the Town's request.
Greg Amsden asked if the Commission was in agreement with Condition No. 2 on page 8 of the •
staff inemo.
I Greg Moffet said that this was a preliminary plat.
Greg Amsden made a motion that the preliminary plat for the major subdivision requesT be
I approved, per the staff inemorandum, with the deletion of Condition No. 1.
' Henry Pratt seconded the motion.
I John Schofiefd amended the motion to include Art Abplanalp's comment that if the Town did not
take action within 30 days, they would waive their involvement and the proposal would be
approved.
Henry Pratt seconded the amended motion.
The motion passed unanimously by a vote of 6-0.
3. A request for a major SDD amendment to allow for a modification to Savoy Vilias, of SDD
#5, located at 1230 Lionsridge Loop/Savoy Viffas, Phase II and III. The site is generally
focated east of Timber Ridge Apartments, west of Simba Run, north of the North
Frontage Road and south of Lionsridge Loop. A full legal description is available in the
Community Development Department.
Applicant: BWAB, Inc., represented by Chris Klein •
Planner: Dominic Mauriello/Mike Moltica ~
Mike Mollica gave an overview of the request. He explained the history of the SDD and said the
request included the most recent modifications. He said that staff had concerns with the
enclosed parking. This proposal would eliminate ihe 2-car garage. Thus, the enclosed parking
of Savoy Villas would drop to 47% from the original proposal of 52%. The intent was to keep the
total parking in the entire SDD to 85%. Since it has dropped to 82%, staff has concerns. Due to
the reduction in the enclosed parking, some findings have not been met. Overall, though, staff is
recommending approval, with the condition that a 2-car garage be added and to stay within the
building footprint of the 1995 approval. Staff is recommending approval with the 3 conditions as
listed on page 10 of the staff inemo. Mike also mentioned that staff had included a draft
ordinance, attached to the memo, to illustrate Condition No 3.
Chris Klein, representing BWAB, lnc. stated that he had challenges with this project. He stated
that he took away the office area.
Greg Moffet asked for any public comments. There were no public comments.
Mike Mollica answered a question that came up during the site visit regarding the employee
housing units being made smaller.

Minutes
October 14, 1996 4
Ga(en Aasland said the applicant would need to include enclosed parking with this request,
• otherwise the applicant is not working with the Town's interest in mind. Since the applicant is
making the employee housing units smaller, Galen would have to vote against this proposal.
Henry Pratt stated, he felt the same as Galen. Since the Town granted additional density, the
Town should be given something in return. A multiple bedroom employee hous+ng unit has been
nr
I
presented. He s

taken out and so therefore, Henry is not in favor of the request a s Y u ested
, to the applicant to table the request until the applicant can come back with a different solution.

Gene Uselton echoed Henry's comments.
Greg Amsden echoed Henry's comments. He said the applicant can't factor economic reasons,
just because it's cheaper to buiid. Greg is not in favor of the applicant gaining square footage for
a free market unit, by taking out square footage from an employee housing unit. He also agreed
with the suggestion to table this item until a better solution is found.
Greg Moffet said this proposal reduced the employee housing uniYs sizes and covered parking
was a problem. Greg was in favor of denial, but he said if someone moves to table this item so
the applicant can come back and try again, he would agree to that.
Chris Klein would like to table his request. He stated that a problem for him was to stay within ,
the original footprint. I
Mike Mollica said to stay within the original footprint was critical, however, the applicant had a ,
right to propose a modification to that footprint. Mike said that he recommended the applicant
• stay within the footprint.
Greg Moffet stated that when the request became more in conformity with the Town's objectives, ~
the PEC would look at it again.
Henry Pratt made a motion to table the request.
Galen Aasland seconded the motion.
Greg Moffet asked for any more discussion.
Henry Pratt suggested a date to table the item to.
Mike Mollica suggested tabling the item until the October 28th meeting.
Henry Pratt amended the motion to include tabling the item untii the October 28th meeting.
Galen Aasland seconded the amended motion.

6. Information Update:
• Ford Park Management P1an update - Larry Grafel •
Larry Grafel gave an overview of the Ford Park Management Plan review process and passed
out a conceptual outline for putting together the plan for Ford Park. The handout included
information about the public process. Larry stated that he would like to talk to the PEC about the
framework. Larry said there were a wide variety of things that go on in Ford Park. He said that it
was a large responsibility to know how to take care of the present issues. The public processes
start out by defining the problem. The handout has outlined the givens. Larry stated that the
Town must adhere to financial and safety issues and he informed the PEC that the Town Council
would have the final say. Larry stated that the public was told, during these meetings, that ail
ideas would be considered. The Colorado Department of Transportation had a say in fiddling
with the Frontage Road. Larry said a long term vis+on of the park was needed to include the
goals and objectives. There were access conflicts. Larry hoped to define relationships between
the uses. The financial issue was always around. Larry explained the project timeline. He
thought ii optimistic to have a final decision by December 17th. Larry explained that tamorrow an
update would be given to the Town Council. Larry stated that that this would come back to the
PEC in November. He pointed out that the packet included the ordinance defining the reasons
f4r the purchase of that parcel, in order to give a perspective as to what the originaf intent was,
including potential uses and possible uses. He explained that the next four pages in the packet
were the entire range of comments that was received from the public meetings on the following
issues; open space, access, the Education Center, the Alpine Garden and the parking issue.
From such a variety of comments, the staff team tried to synthesize what was heard. The
conclusion was that open, green space was most important. There was an analogy to Central

Park and how it should be preserved. Through the conversations, people liked the idea of
• multipie accesses through the park. There were many comments to make available more public
transportation and paths. The Alpine Garden and Education Center produced lively discussions.
In all the discussions, no one was adamantly against anything. It was agreed that the Education
Center should be in a neutral location and that it should be very close to the existing Alpine
Garden. Most people believed that parking was a serious problem. Comments ran the gamut
from no parking to a parking structure. Some of discussions centered on who was parking there
before and if we should accommodate all the needs for everyone. A preliminary framework was
developed to further define this. The existing Master Pfan has stood the test of time. The Town
just needed to polish it up with modifications. "Don't screw it up," was heard over and over
again. It all came back to status quo. The public doesn't want to add anything rnore, but wanted
to improve upon what we have. The Town needed to define the allowable uses. The Town
needed to have design guidelines. Maximum heights needed to be formalized. People don't like
the intrusion of loading and delivery. How then does the Town accommodate that need and still
not reduce the enjoyment of people engaged in activities in the Park? Maintenance was being
done very well. However, it needed to be formalized to get to a world-class level. The Town
needed to get a better handle on the coordinating and scheduling of events. Larry mentioned
that we thought we could cooperatively help manage those demands and conflicts that happen at
certain times of the year, such as the 4th of July. The financial responsibilities would continue to
be imposed on people who use the park. Users will determine what kind of demands and
impacts were brought to the park. Mitigation would be picked up by the organization of the users.
Larry stated that the parking issue caused mixed comments and many solutions. The Park had a
600 car need, with a 275 car capability in the summer, which was the worst season.
Greg Moffet asked what the Village parking structure experienced when the park was being
used?
• Larry Grafel said the Village structure experienced very little impact. People would rather walk
the streets, than get on a bus.
Greg Moffet mentioned that the Chalet Road shortcut by Manor Vail doesn't get used at all.
Larry Grafel stated that most of the right-of-way is CDOT. Larry said that he didn't have a clear
definition of the parking needs. The Education Center at Ehe Afpine Garden was the catalyst for
developing the park. He asked what things were needed to make our decision. The framework
for making a decision still needed to be put together. Reaction had been mixed, whether iC
should happen at all. There have been conversations both ways if iYs needed. Larry stated that
a preliminary action plan had been put together. Signage and transportation needed to be
improved. There were some short term things that the Town could do. We sti(I need to put a
capital plan together.
John Schofield was in favor of increased parking and more signage. He mentioned that Ford
Park was heavily used on Tuesday nights. If the Village structure was not heavily used, then the
Town needed to get people back and forth. John said that access from that area would be
helpful with the new redevelopment of Golden Peak. He stated that the soccer field parking lot
was full by 7am all winter long. He agreed that the uses were wonderful, but just needed to have
the rough edges smoothed off. John asked how the financing would be done. He mentioned
that it certainly would be helpful if the users would pay for it. John didn't feel the need to get into
it from a zoning and use standpoint. He felt it was not a great idea for the Town to get invoived
in the scheduling aspect of it. He thought perhaps the Foundation should handle that.

Gene Uselton asked about moving the ball games down valley?
Larry Grafel said the public definitely didn't want to give up the ball fields. They added color and .
vibrancy to the park. It was an overwhelming "no" to change that use.
I Gene Uselton said the traffic was a problem.
Heten Fritch stated that planning and fundraising have been started, but we don't know where
the building was going to be located. it will be designed when we know where it will be located.
~ Gene Uselton mentioned that Ford Park parking was free and well received.
Larry Grafel stated that there is minimal revenue from that parking.
Greg Amsden stated that this was a summer dilemma, with regard to parking. There could be a
lot of creative ways to get people from the Village parking structure to Ford Park; including
sidewalks, signage and bus service. He thought that public sentiment would not be strong for a
structure. He felt that improving the park, by getting people to their use, was important.
However, he felt there was a major concern for safety, which was very important .
Galen Aasland felt multiple entries were good. There seemed to be an endless number of uses
available, however we don't want the place overdeveloped. The Town has to set this up, so that
uses could overlap and share. Galen stated that the Town should be the ultimate authority, as
they could see the broad schedufe. Gaten feit a parking structure was not needed, as the
present one was underutilized. Galen stated that how the people were brought over from the
structure needed to be addressed.
Henry Pratt felt by burying the interstate, a lot of these problems would go away. Henry stated ~ I
that with Bravo moving to Beaver Creek and if we were to move the ball fields down valley, we '
wouldn't have any people ieft here after the Beaver Creek Performing Arts Center was done.
Henry felt the Education Center was a good idea, as long as it was to be used by the public and
not the Alpine Garden administration offices. Henry felt that the structure was not a good idea.
Since the Town lost 150 parking spaces, due to the Golden Peak redevelopment, this ski season would be the test. Henry stated that he could never find which bus went to the concerts this past
summer, so he used the streamwalk. Henry has long been an advocate of parking at Ford Park.
If it was buried, landscaped and had access to Golden Peak, it would be used. The Town should
also find a way to not have to charge so much at these locations.
Greg Moffet asked about Donovan Park.
Larry Grafel stated that Donovan Park was not going to be included in this process.
Greg Moffet stated that Ford Park was a great resource. If adequate signage could be installed
to show that carpooling or handicapped were the only allowed parking in that lot, with the
rernaining cars directed to the structure, it would be good. Since the parking structure was
generally available, the emphasis should be on transporting people over to the park. Greg felt
that sooner or later, increased parking needed to be addressed. Greg stated that he was not
crazy about turning green space into asphalt.
Galen Aasland stated that the green space could be seen by all travelers to Vail. Anything else
would be negative from a public perspective.

Henry Pratt meniioned putting a deck on the underground parking, so one could not see it from
• the road.
Jim Lamont, representing the adjacent property owners, stated that the idea of moving the
Education Center to the soccer field site received support from neighboring Northwoods. The
Frontage Road access could be achieved through electronic signage. Jim stated that if the Blue
Cow Chute didn't flow, then there existed a backup, which could be hefped with a roundabout.
The neighborhood didn't want to encourage any more traffic on Vail Valley Drive. Parking on the
soccer field should be by a reservation or managed system. We should make sure these
systems that we have are already paid for and then we could have a performing arts center to
compete with 8eaver Creek and not just another cold structure. The parking structure notion
should be referred to in the plan as a long range goal. Jim stated that the uses should be limited
to underground buildings. If a structure was needed, it should be brought back to the public to
decide.
Helen Fritch, President of Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, said a plan was put together with an
underground building. She stated that handicapped access needed to be addressed, as the park
now has grades that are too steep and don't tollow ADA guidelines. This new site worked in
conjunction with the Nature Center, as it was on the bus route and could be used in winter and in
surnmer. The purpose of the Education Center was for exhibits showing Vail as an extension of
the environment, and to teach people how to mitigate. It would be a lot more than a display of
flowers and would work very well with the Nature Center. The Center would be a link with the
natural environment. A whole concept would be put together which would be a resource for Vail.
The Alpine Garden was trying to prornote more than a pretty garden. Helen stated that more
benches were needed. The distance for elderly people to walk was a more serious situation,
than for handicapped people. Helen stated that the existing 57 parking spaces would be kept.
• John Schofield asked about the timing of completion of the south sidewalk at Golden Peak?
Larry Grafel said it would be finished in 1998.
Jim tamont said he understood the purpose of the high altitude garden for flora and fauna.
Having just returned from South Africa, Jim stated that Capetown had one and it was one of the
major attractions, very heavily attended and very popular internationally. This facility would be
extremely crowded. Jim stated that the neighborhood and community wanted to see the ball
fields remain. Jim mentioned that in 1974 the community didn't want development there, when it
was supposed to be another Lionshead. The passion in the community wanted to protect it as
green space. Jim stated that we needed to look at Donovan Park and the east end of Lionshead
for a convention center.
• Geologic Hazard Report update - Dirk Mason
Dirk Mason mentioned that several members of the Commission questioned why we needed an
updated hazard report. The geology report viewed walls as too low in a hazard zone. Dirk told
the PEC members that this was just an FYI.
Henry Pratt told Dirk that when staff made a requirernent for a hazard report, staff should use
common sense.
Dirk Mason stated that staff used hazard maps to make that determination.

Mike Mol(ica gave the example that if a hazard falis below a lot, in the case of a Rockfall Hazard,
we don't require a hazard report if the building envelope is above the hazard. He then asked the
Commission if Chris Klein could speak again on Savoy Villas. •
Chris Klein asked the Commission if he added a two-car garage and two employee housing units
; on the ground floor, with one large employee housing unit and garage on the main floor, would
I this then be acceptable to the PEC?
Galen Aasland thought Chris would have trouble with Federal Fair Housing guidelines.
Chris Klein said he has suggested three employee housing units instead of two.
Galen Aasland stated that access and housing guidelines haven't been addressed.
Chris Klein said a lift would be needed, as there is no access to the lower level. There would be
a common entry level and a free market unit on a new 4th floor.
~ Henry Pratt said that Chris was offering three one-bedroom units, when there was more of a
need, in this town, for larger units.
Chris Klein asked if the entire bottom floor had one unit with three bedrooms, the main level a
one-bedroom with garage and the top a free market unit, would that work?
John Schofieid thought this concept was going in right direction.
Gene Uselton and Greg Amsden agreed.
