Election of 2001 Chair -Galen Aasland Vice-Chair , Ghas Bernhardt Marriott Discussion: George Ruther presented the situation of the Man-iott's Design Review application and the recent appeal by the Vail Spa. Typically, an appeal of an application stays all activity in rely#ion to the project, unless the staying of such application will present an imminent peril to the property. As the Marriott was substantially damaged by the fire earlier this year, s#aff has determined that a stay of the application would present an imminent peril to the property. Staff is recommending that the PEC uphold the staff decision that the application not be s#ayed, in accordance with the Town Code. Ale#ter has been submitted by the Vail Spa, stating that notice is required for this type of action. Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney, stated that notice is not required far this action, John Schofield asked if the applicant had standing. Tom Moorhead stated that whether or not the applicant has standing, the administrator has the ability to make this finding. Galen Aasland asked about the notice #hat has been given to the Vail Spa. Dick Cleveland asked about the definition of "imminent peril." Tom Moorhead stated the applicant for the Marriott will speak to that. Henry Pratt presented the existing conditions of the Marriott, including the status of steel beams which are supporting the entire east half of the structure, which cannot be fixed without a building permit, John Schofield `~ t TOWN O~ YAIL -- _~ questioned what the effect of a large spring snowfall would have on the safety of the structure. Henry Pratt stated that the current structure would be in danger with a large heavy snowfall. Doug Cahill stated that he supported the staff decision. John Schofield stated that he believed the current status of the building, should the application be stayed, was an eminent peril, and believed that expediting the reconstruction would be a benefit to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Dick Cleveland also stated that he supported the administrator's decision and recognized that mitigation of the safety hazard was necessary. Chas Bemhart stated that he believed that the PEC's role was to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community and he agreed with the administrator's decision. Galen Aasland asked about the process. John Schofeld moved to uphold the staff decision that the Marriott did not constitute a major exterior alteration. George Ruther clarified that that was not the decision being made today. John Schofield struck his motion and moved to uphold the finding of the administrator that staying the design review application of the Marriott would present an imminent peril to the property. 3.

The tunnel would be appraxirnately 2Qt) feet [ong, f ~' wide and 3 0'-7" high. The three sided steel box structure is uranufactured in sections that bolt together, with cross braces holding footers in place. "the tunnel is designed to be covered ~vitlt a ntittintum of l.a feet of earth till and 7 feet of snow eavc:r. There will be interior lights an during the day inside the tunnel from appro~timately g:3U AM to ~:(10 Pl~l_ Timers would automatically ccmtro[ this lighting. During the summer mantles a secured oats will be installed out of view at each end. The tu~tnc] ~r~=cold slope downhill in are easteriv direc[]on towards the chair ~ lift Iine. The hoar of the tunnel ti.~il] ha~~e a rock base under the sraorv to allow for s~ro~vmelt drainage to the ski slopes The tunnel tivould be sued to accommodate skiers and a small snowcat, which would groom the tunnel as needed. Certain ski area utilities would require re-loeatian including snowmaking pipes, electric and race cables, etc. There ~,vould he no snowmakin+~ in the tunnel. Snow would be made available at wither end ol• the tunnel and pushed in by snawcat~ • The purpose of the tunnel is to allow skiers going to the North Woods and Pinos Del Norte cozrdominium complexes and Ski. Club Vail to utilize the skier tunnel under the racecourse rather than across the racecorrrsc as they do currently. The Nr~rttr Woods and I'ina~~, De] ~iorte candominiurxa associations support the project. The tunnel would not be visible from the major viewpoints at Golden Peak, :Manor Vail, X11 Seasons etc. There would be an additional terrain feature ar bump running across the racecourse where the tunnel is located with shadowed areas at the openings. • i ~ _ __ . ~ ~ ~~:~ a ~~ _~, Y __, _~ -~ .l. - _ ~ 'tar, ~ `. ~-- ~ J ~ j . ~~ - -_ ~ `'` ~:~'r 1 by `ti..`~ ~, ~.. \',~ ~ ~ 1 j` , ~ , ~ ~ ~; r ~ I t ~ ~ ~ \ 1 1 ~ ` ~ .h f f ~SV• t Y ~ ~~, 1 ~~.. \ \ r `' 1, t? ~, ~ ~ .7~,-' 1 ~'~' -- ~~~ ~. } ~ ~, - - i . g ~, ,. f ~ y ~~ ~ V~.

Therefore, eve, the Northwoods Candatninitana Association. ven- strongly support such a project and ask you to help us in bring it to fzttition. It may be useful to give a little of the background to the project_ When the :Nortlawoods andFinos del Norte Condominiums were built_ Vail Associates built a trail front the Golden Peak racecourse to tite Condtaminittms. As part of tlae disclosure in scaling floe units. 'Jail Associates affirmed tkae std-in'a3td std-out advantages of floe Co~tdominiums and promised to maintain such access.

But as Vail gres~v bigger and tine racecourse became more hea~~ily used • the safety concerns grew of kaaving skiers, particularly children, crass floe racecoatrsc. it is difficult to aversta#e our ler~! of corlccrn on this matter. It would be a tragedy to all concerned that ilaere ever be aa1 accident an the racecourse.

Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Odell Architects, P.C. Planner: George Ruttier I. DESCRIPTIi]N OF THE RE©UEST The applicant, the Town of Vail, represented by Odell Architects. P.C., has submitted an application to the Town of Vail Community Development Department for consideration of a conditional use permit, pursuant to the requirements outlined in Chapter t 6 of the Tcwn of Vail Zoning 'Regulations, to allow for the construction of Phase I improvements an the lower bench of Donovan Park. The primary purpose of this conditional use ,permit is ko allow for the construction of the Donovan Park Community Pavilion. In keeping wiih the intent of the Donovan Park Master Plan Amendment, the Community Pavilion is intended to be amulti-purpose community events center. The 6,240 square foot pavilion includes amulti-purpose room, a front entry lobby, apre-function space, an administrative office: a kitchen, restrooms; storage areas and a ~,~ 0fl square foot exterior deck. The pavilion is intended to provide sites for community meetings and gatherings, private birthday and anniversary parties, dances, weddings and receptions, musical and theatrical performances, art exhibits, banquets, open houses, and a multitude of similar uses. The staff is currently preparing an Operation & Management Plan for the pavilion. The primary focus of the plan is to create a fee structure that allows the Town to operate the pavilion on a "break even"' basis over the course of each year. At this time staff is progressing with a graduated fee structure that attains this goal ;yet ensure that adequate amounts of time are provided for not-for-profit groups to use the pavilion for free or very little charge. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends appr~ual of the request for a conditional use permit to allow far the construction of the Phase 1 Donovan Park improvements. The staff's recommendation for approval is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of this memorandum. Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to approve this conditional use permit request, staff recommends that the following findings be made part of the Commission's motion: That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the GeneraE Use zone district. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties ar improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Regulations. Ili. APPLICABLE 141A5TEi~ PLANS On C}ctober 3, 2000, the Vail Town Council adopted the Donavan Park Master Plan Amendment. The purpose of this amendment was to update and identify the appropriate uses for the Sower bench of Donovan Park. According to the recommendations of the master plan, the site is to be developed in two phases. The first phase of improvements includes the construction of a community park pavilion, outdoor recreation facilities and the required parking areas. The second phase of improvements, while discussed and debated, has yet to be determined. A pad site to accommodate a location for Phase Il improvements is to be preserved. On November 16.1986, the Vail Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. The purpose of the plan is to provide a basis for making land use decisions and to insure that the long-term needs and desires of the community are addressed as the town matures. According to the Land Use Plan, the lower bench of Donovan Park is designated as "park" use. ill. BACKGRUIJND The entire 51 acre parcel known as the John P. Donovan Park was acquired in 1980. A master plan for development of the site was adopted in1985 which recommended a bailfield, play areas, picnic shelters, a basketball court, a skating pond. volleyball courts, and parking on the lower bench and a cemetery, open space and hiking trails on the middle and upper benches. The original master plan, now 15 years old, was never implemented. Community facilities and park development were determined to be two of the top issues resulting from the Vail Tomorrow and Common Ground processes which have occurred over the past 3'/~ years. On September 21, ~ 999, the Vail Town Council decided to move forward with a process to determine which uses are appropriate and compatible with the Donovan Park site. The Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District Board have directed staff to move forward with the following uses to be included in a revised master plan amendment (generally in order of priority): ~ Park use and soccer field ~ Pavilion +r Mufti-recreational space (gymnastics, yoga, martial arts, etc.) {n,ay be considered on other sites} ~ Children's Center day camp, year-round youth enrichment programs and multi-purposelgenerational activity rooms) r Gymnasium ~ indoor pool X25 meter by 25 yard) ~ ABC/Learning Tree Pre-schools ~r Ccto~er 3, 2000, the Vail Town Council adopted the Donovan Park Master Plan =~e~dment in tie passing of Resolution No. 1 {}, Series of 2000. The master plan w-^e~drren anticipates :he development of the parkin two phases. Phase ~pr~ver~ents are as described in Section I of this memorandum. A location for Phase !I -~pr~ver`~ents has been reserved on the site. The final improvements, however, have et :~ he de:errrined. ~n i.ovember27, 2000. the Planning & Environmental Commission approved a =~nc tioraf use permit nor the construction of all of the Phase I improvements with the ;cetiticn of the comm~.nity pavilion. The community pavilion was not included within :-e a: provai at :hat time since final designs were still in progress. The Commission - uu ~ed that the Town cf Vail return for final review and approval of the proposed ~~r, unity pavilion once final designs were completed. '~. PROPQS€D DEVELOPMENT STANDARQS -~e :evelccment standards for uses within the General Use zone district are prescribed 4ars,.ant to Section 12-OC-5 of the Zoning Regulations. According to Section 12-9C-5, .ne ~aveiopment standards shall be proposed by the applicant as part of a conditional _~e .:ermit application. The site specific development standards shall then be vete~ined by the Planning & Environmental Commission during the review process. ~1e ~ppiicant is proposing the following development standards as provided on the p~oppsed Approved De~~elopment Plan:. ~eve.opment ~`ardards Existing Prouosed Lit area 539,011 sq. ft. 539,011 sq. ft. ~;te dimension; 12.374 acresl 12.374 acresl Satbacks: N!A As shown on the Approved Development Plan ~uiicing Height: N!A 38.6 ft en~<ty Control: NIA N!A ~te 3overe,ge: 0 sq, ft. 9.449 sq. ft.

The issuance of a conditional use permit is required to allow for the construction of the Phase I improvements in Donovan Park. !n accordance with Chapter 12- 16 of the Town of Vail Code, an application for a conditional use permit within the General Use District shall be subject to the following development factors and criteria; 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town. 12.374 acres! 539,011 sq, ft, (100%} Applicable goals from the Vail Land Use Plan are outlined in Section VI of this memorandum. Development standards for the General Use zone district are prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission in the form of an Approved Development Plan for the project. Staff believes this proposal is consistent with the intended recreational uses identified for this site. 2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, artd other public facilities and public facilities needs. The construction of Phase I improvements to the lower bench of Donovan Park will have positive impacts on the criteria described above. The proposed park is located in the Matterhorn Village neighborhood. The Matterhorn Village neighborhood is one of only a few residential neighborhoods in Vail that has no recreational park amenities in the immediate vicinity.. The construction of the parr will provide the much needed recreational amenities. Additionally, during the Common Ground and Vail Tomorrow processes, community members had identified the need for a community pavilion facility in town. During discussions regarding community facilities, the Council and community members have recommended the Donovan Park development site as the mast appropriate location for a community pavilion. For these two primary reasons, staff believes that this application meets the above-described criteria.. C7 • • 3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking areas. The above-described criteria have been addressed in the development of this application. To insure that traf#ic congestion, traffic flow, access and maneuverability are not negatively impacted, the applicant has paid particular attention to these issues. Significant South Frontage Road and Matterho~ n Road intersection improvements are proposed. These improvements include the widening of the frontage road to accommodate adequate thru traffic flows, the addition of acceleration and deceleration lanes at the entrance to Donovan Park and at the Matterhorn Road intersection, the construction of a dedicated bike lane and improvements and connections to the existing streamwalk, Approximately ~ 50 parking spaces are proposed. The parking spaces are intended to provide adequate parking for each of the uses currently proposed on the site. According to information provided by the applicant, parking shortages only become a problem when a major recreational event is occurring on the recreation field at the same time as a large gathering is occurring in the pavilion. This potential problem can be addressed however, by coordinating and managing events with this issue in mind. Overall, staff believes this criterion has been met. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk ofi the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. Sections ~ 2-9C-2 & 3 outline the permitted and conditional uses allowed in the General Use zone district. The following are fisted as conditional uses in the General Use zone district: • Public and private parks and active outdoor recreation areas, facilities, and uses. • Public and quasi-public indoor community facility. • Public buildings and grounds. All of the uses proposed far the lower bench of Donovan Park fall into one of these cateQOries, Section 12-9C-5 of the Zoning Regulations outlines the standards for developments in the General Use zone district. The Zoning Regulations state: !n the General Use zone district, development standards in each of the following categories shall be proposed by the applicant and prescribed by the Planning and Environmental Commission: 1. Lot area and site dimensions 2. Setbacks 3. Building Neighs 4. ©ensity Control (dwelling units and GRFA} 5. Site Coverage 6. Landscaping and site development 7. Parking and loading The Donovan Park Master Plan Amendment was developed with the wishes of the community in mind. Over the course of the nearly one year development timeframe, numerous public meetings and discussions occurred to insure that the applicant and design team received comments and feedback from community members. Much of the feedback. influenced the final conceptual design proposal. For example,. the parking is substantially screened from public view outside the park, access to the park is from the South Frontage Road as apposed to through the neighborhood, a pedestrian bridge will be constructed to improve pedestrian ac; ess and safety and no construction will occur within the riparian corridor of Gore Creek. FINDINGS The Planning and Environrrmentai Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accr~rdance with the purposes of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. ~. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicini#y. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. • f~ r M EIMORAN dU'IhJI • TQ: Planning & Environmental Commission >=RQfVI: Community Development Department DATE: April 9, 2t)D1 SUBJECT: A request for the review of a proposed text amendment to Chapter t 1, Design Review, of the Zoning Regulations to allow fior procedural changes to the performance bond process as prescribed in the Vaii Town Code.

BACKGR4lJND The Community Development department has identified our procedures for issuing T.C.O.'s, accepting bonds, and completing final inspections as processes that needed to be improved. The goal of the improvements is to provide better customer service, reduce the amount of staff time currently involved in these processes, ensure compliance with applicable codes and regulations, to better align the planning and building requirements and to keep construction management responsibilities in the hands of the contractor. • • A. Problem Statement The Tawn of Vail Community Development Department issues approximately four hundred (400) building permits annually. Cif these permits, roughly one hundred (100} require the issuance of a certificate ofi occupancy by the Building official. The Town of Vail Community Development Department has traditionally issued temporary certificates of occupancy as permitted by the Uniform Building Cade, at the discretion of the Building Official. The current process for issuing temporary certificates of occupancy has resulted in numerous unintended consequences that negatively impact the services provided by the Community Development Department, Far instance: increased staff time and involvement since many developers fail to follow through, an increase in the number of inspection requests as the inspectors must make multiple return inspections, a decrease in available inspection time for other projects because available time is spent dealing with temporary certificates and the need far unnecessary multi-department involvement (public works, fire, • finance, administration} as performance bonds require the cooperation of other departments. The staff of the Community Development Department finds it • irresponsible to let this problem perpetuate. Therefore, corrective steps must be made immediately to respond to the inefficiencies and ineffectiveness of the current temporary certifiicate of occupancy issuance process. B. Givens • The current bondinglT.C.O. process results in an inefficient use of staff time. • The current bonding/T.C.O. process is ineffective and creates unrealistic expectations. We do not enforce the expiration of T.C.D's. • We da not complete unfinished improvements secured by Developer Improvement Agreements. • We are committed to improving this process. Chapter 1, Section 109.4 (temporary certificate} of the Uniform Buiidinp Cade states, if the building official finds that no substantial hazard vviJ! result from accuparrcy of any building or portion thereof before the same is completed, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued for the use of a portion ar portions of a building or structure prior to the conrpfetian of the entire building or structure. Therefore, the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy is not mandatory. . 1=urther, Chapter 1, Section 1 fl9.3 (certificate issued) states, in part, After the building official inspects the building or structure and finds no violations of the provisions of the code or other laws that are enforced by the code enforcement agency, the building official shall issue a certificate of occupancy. Therefore, compliance with the applicable provisions of the Vail Town Cade is also required. This is important as it includes, but is not limited to, landscaping, the design guidelines, and the development standards. The Town of Vail Community Development Department has traditionally issued 1".C.O.'s on both residential and commercial developments. Because the certificate is temporary and not final, it is inherent that a poriion of the building i5 not complete. incomplete work often includes, • exterior painting, • exterior lighting, ^ landscaping, • paving,. • cosmetic interior finishes, • complete installation of plumbing fixtures, • use of temporary guardrails, and • the installation of additional light fixtures. To address the incomplete work, a performance bond provision is incorporated into the Vail Town Code. C. Current Regulations According to Section 12-11-8 of the Vail Town Code, Performance Bond; The Building ©fficia! shall not issue a final certificate of occupancy for structures which have obtained design review approval until upon inspection it is determined that the project is constructed in accordance with the approved design review application and plans, and all improvements, amenities and landscaping have been installed. The Building Official may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy not to exceed two hundred ten ('210) days upon the applicant posting with the Community Development Department a performance bond ar other security acceptable to the Town Council in the sum of one hundred twenty five percent (125°.~) of the bona fide estimate of the cost of installing landscaping and paving and other accessory improvements provided for in the approved design review application and plans. !f said landscaping, paving and other accessory improvements are not installed by the applicant within the period allowed, the temporary certificate shalt be revoked until the same are installed by the applicant or by the Town pursuant to the terms of the performance bond or other accepted security that has been approved by the Town. According to Section 12-11-11 of the Vail Town Code, Enforcement; Insoec#ion. • Before occupying or using any structure included in a design review application, the applicant must obtain an occupancy certificate after inspection by the Department at Community Development. The Department of Community Development shall inspect the site to ensure that the work has been completed in accordance with the application and plans approved by the Design Review Board. It shall be the duty of the property owner orhis/her authorized agent to notify the Department of Community Development that such work is ready for inspection in order to ascertain compliance with approved plans. If the project is found upon inspection to be fully completed and in compliance with the approved design review application and plans, the Department of Community Development shall issue a final certificate of occupancy. If the project is found to be completed in such a manner that a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued as specified by the Uniform Building Code that applicant shall past a bond as set forth in Section 12-i i-~ of this Chapter. Upon f©rfeiture of said bond ar surety, the Town shall proceed to install the improvements for which band ar surety was posted. In the event that the cost of installing the improvements exceeds the amount of the bond, the owner of said property shall be individually liable to the Tawn for the additional costs thereof. Furthermore, the amount that the cost of installing said improvements exceeds the amount of the performance band shall automatically become a lien upon any and all property included within the design review application. V. PRQPQSED AMENDMENTS Staff recognizes that there are factors outside the control of developers {i.e. weather} which results in the need to maintain the availability to ob#ain a temporary certificate of occupancy, However, staff has identified several negative and unintended consequences of our current process. Therefore, staff finds there is the need to amend our current regulations to both enhance our level of customer service and to reduce the amount of staff time involved in the banding process. The following amendments are proposed to achieve improved customer service levels and to more efficiently utilize staff time. (Deletions are shown in cfr~~~ and additions are shown in bold) • Section 12-11 _g of the Vail Town Code, Performance Bond, The Building Official shall not issue a final certificate of occupancy for structures which have obtained design review approval until upon inspection it is determined that the project is constructed in accordance with the approved design review application and plans, and all improvements, amenities and landscaping have been installed. The Building C3fficial may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy, between November 1 and April 3Q of each year, not to exceed two hundred ten 421 t~) days upon the applicant pasting with the Community Development Department a performance bond as defined in Section 12-2-2 of this Chapter e~-et#~ cscc.~ritr/ aoseptahc to +-~.e~~, Gc~:n~ in the sum of ~c h-r.~e~1 t'u~^+,. f~„n nnrnnn+ (1 `_"_°~) two hundred fifty percent (2~0%} of the bona fide estimates of two Town of Vail licensed contractors of the cast of installing landscaping and paving and other accessory improvements provided for in the approved design review application and plans. One of the bona fide estimates shall be accompanied by a fully executed contractual agreement to complete said work as described in the estimates. If said landscaping, paving and other accessory improvements are not installed by the applicant within the period allowed, the temporary certificate may be revoked until the same are installed by the appiicant or by the Town pursuant to the terms of the performance bond ar rt'he~cccr+^~'e;= that has been approved by the Town.
