Community Development Department i ' • • 6 I ~ NIEMORANDUM TO: Planning and EnvirQnmental Gommission FR4M: Cflmmunaty Develaprnent Department DATE: August 9, 2002 SUBJECT; A request for a variance from Section 12-6D-6 Setbacks, Vail Town Code, loca#ed at 5167 Gore Circle, Lot 12, Block 3, Bigharn 5`" Filing. ~ Applicant: Rolland Hamelin ; Planner: Matt Gennett ' 1. SUMMARII The applican#, Rokland Hamelin, is requesting a variance from Section 12-6B-6, Minimum Rear Yard Setback Requ[rement of the SFngle Family Residential (SFR) Zone District, for #he garage at his residence an 5167 Gflre CircEe (Lpt 12, Block 3, Bighom 51"). In 1998, Mr. Hamelin inadvertently built his garage in its present, nonconforming location, as a result of receiving and acting upon erroneous, cerkified survey information from licensed professionals. The comer of the garage that ~ encraaches into the minimum rear setback is 112" feom the Old Highway 6 right-of-way, instead af the required 15`, as stated in the code. The hardship #aced by the applicant is the product of a mathematical error on the survey instrument he paid for anti used that was not discovered until staff requesied a past-construction Improvement Lacation Cerfificate (ILC). Despite good faith efForts by the applicant to fallow proper procedures and adhere ta code, his garage and residence are in a state of noncompliance, and therefore, not legally modifiable. The exis#ing condition of the subject property is the result of events promulgated wifhout Mr. Hamelin's knowledge. Staff is recommending appraval of the requested variance as a hardship exists and would rtot canstitute a granting af special prirrilege to this indiWidual property. li. DE5CRIPTION QF REQUEST The applicant is requesting relief from the SFR znne district's rriiniimum rear se#back of 15' from Old Highway 6, just past the Dead End sign in East Vail. The rear carner of #he garage that encroaches into the setback is 11'2" from the OId Highway 6 right-of-way, instead of the required 15', as stafed in the cade. Tha reason for this discrepancy is due to an error on the ariginal survey that shawed the distance in question as being 18'J", and therefare, outside of the setback. The ILC, performed after the structure was built, showed the distance between the back corner of the garage and the 41cf Highway fi right-of-way as being 112", and this proved ta be the correct measurement. The encraachment does no# cause any visual harm or nuisance against neighboring property cawners or the general public and is in a locafion not readily visible to anyone ofF the property. III. BACKGRQUND ~ In 1974, the Bighorn Fifth Addition was annexed into the Town of Vail via Ordinance 31, ~ 1 .

Pursuant to Section 12-9C- 1, Vail Town Code, the purpose of the Generai Use zone district is as follaws: PURPQSE: The general use disfrict is intended to provide sites for public and quasi-publie uscs whrch, because of fherr special characteristics, cannot be apprapriafely regulated by the deuelopment standards prescrrbed for other zoning distrrcts, and for which developmerrt standards especially prescribed for each partrcular development proposal ar pro}ect are necessary to achieve the purposes prescribed rn secfian 12-1-2 of thrs fitfe and to provide for the public weIfare. The general use district is intended to ensure tHaf public buifdings and graunds artd Cerfain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the district are appro,priately loeated and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harrrronize with surrounding uses, and, in the case of 6uildings and ofher sfructures, fv ensure adequafe light, air, open spaces, and ather arrrenrfies appropriate to the permifted types at'uses. 5ectkon 12-9C-3, Vail Town Cade, identifies public utilities installations includ'ang transrnission lines and appurtenant equipment as a condrtianal uses in General Use zane distric#. ~ 3 Forfhe Planning and EnvironmentaR Commission's reference, Section 12-96-9, Vail ~ Town Gode, identifies the purpose for a conditiQnaf use permit as follows: In order to provide the flexibifity necessary to achieve the abjectives of this fitle, s,aeeified uses are permitfed in certaln districts subjecf ta the granting af a canditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characterrstics, condrtional uses requrre review so that they may be located properly wlth respect to the purposes of this fitle and with respact ta their effects on surraurrding properties. The review prdcess prescribed in thts chapter rs irrtended to assure cornpatibilify and harmanious developmenf befween condrtranal uses and surrouna(ing praperties in the Town at large. Uses lisfed as conditrorral uses in the uarious districts rnay be permitted subject to such conelrtlons and Irmitations as the 7awn may prescribe to insure fhaf the location and operatrorr of the conditional uses wrll be in accordance with the developmerrt objectives of the Town and wrll nof be cletrfrrrental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cenncat be devised, to achieve these ofajective,s, applicafiorrs for canditional use permits shall be d'enied. In the General Use zone district, developmerat standards are prescribed by the P'lanning and Environenental Cammission. Section 12-9C-5, 4/ail Tawn Gode, states: Prescribed byPlanning and Environmerrtal Commissiara: frr the general use ~ cfistrict, development standards in each of the following categories shall be as prescri,bed by the plartning arrd errvironmental corrrmission: 9.

Based upon Section 12-2-2, Vail Town Code, this proposed Public Safe#y Radio instal[afion is nat defined as a"structure" and is therefore nof subject to many of the development standards prescribed by the Town o$ Vail Zoning Regulations (Title 12, Vail Town Code). The definition of "structure° as prescribed by Section 12-2-2, Vail Town Code, is as follows: ~ 4 i - ; ~ Structure: Anything ccanstructed or erected with a ffxed locatfon on the ground, but not including pales, lines, cables, ar otfter transmission or distri6ution facilities of public utilriUes, or mallbvxes orlighf ffxtures. At the cliscretion of the design review board, srvimming paols and tennis courts may 6e exempted from this defrnrtion. Town of Uail Land Use Plan The Tnwn of Vail Land Use Plan designates the East Vaii Water Tank site as Open I Space (OS). This iand use designation is described by the Town of Vail Land Use Plan as fallows: Passive recreation areas such as greera,betts, stream corridors and drainage ways are the types of areas in this category. Hr"!lsides which ware classified as undeveloped due ta high hazards and slopes over 40% are also included within fhis area. 7'hese hillside areas would stiN be allowed types of developrnent permitted by existrng zoning, such as one urrit per 35 acres, for areas af agricultural zvnfng. Afso, permitted rn fhis area would be irrstitutional/public uses. 7he Town of 1/ail Land lJse plan includes the following gaa3s staternents that s#aff beEieves are applicable to this proposaL' ~ 6.1 Services should keep pace with irrcreased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through 6alancing growth with services. 6.3 Servrces should 6e adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods.

CRITERIA ANQ FINDINGS The review criteria for a request of this nature are establashed by the Town Code. The proposed public utality installation is (acated within the Generai Use zone district. 7herefore, this proposal is subject ta the issuance of a concfitional use permit in accardancE with the provisions of Chapter 12-16, Vail Town Gode. A. Consideration of Factcars Regarding the Setback Variances; 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan designates the eas# Vail water tank site as Upen Space (OS). This land use designation is describetS by the Town Qf Vail Land Use P{an as foflows: ~ 6 ~ Passive recreation areas such as greenbelfs, stream corridars and d,rainage ways are the types of arsas in thrs cafegvry. h'illsides whrch were classified ~ I as undeveIoped due to high hazarels and slopes over40°fo are also rncluded withirr this area. These hi!lside areas would sti1l ,be aflowed types of de velopment permitted by existing zonrng, such as one unit per 35acres, for areas of agriculfural zonirrg. A1sa, permitted in this area would be instifutional/pu6lic uses. The proposed PUblic Safety Radio instaElation is consistent with the Town of Vail Land Use Plan's Opcn Space land use designation, since the proposed Public Safety Radio instalfation is a public use that is canditionally permitted by zoning. ; Rn addition, the Tavvn of Vail Lancf Use PEan includes the following goals statements that Staff believes are applicabEe to this proposal: 6.1 Senrices should keep ,pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through halarrcing growth with services. 6.3 Services shauld be adfusted to keep pace with the nesds of peak periods. ~ Staff beGeves that this prapasal meets these develQpment objec#ives of the Tovvn of Vail Land Use Plan. The Town of Vail Comprehensive {Jpen Lands Plan identifies this site as a partion of the South Traif "Parcel 47"; hawever, the text from the Actian Plan excludes the east Vail water tank site from #he apen space development recommendations of the plan and enccaurages the continued use of the site far public utilEties. Staff believes that this proposal meets the development objectives of the Town of Vaii, the objectives of the applicabie master plans, and improves the safety and well-being of life and property within the east Vail area. ~ 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distributinn o€ populatian, I transportation faeilities, utilities, schoals, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. The proposed additian to the k'ubfic Safety Radio installation will have minimal irnpacts on light and air, distributiort of population, transportation facilities, schools, or parks and recreation. This proposed Public Safety Fiadio instaliation wilf operate in the same frequency range as cellufar and will present na mflre interference potential than the two sxisting cellular towers located to #he southeast of this site. - ~ 7 Staff befieves #hat t[ne proposed Public Safety Radia installatian greatly ~ benefits the community's public safety neecfs as it provides Gontinuous communications coverage in tFae East Vail area for Police, iFire, EMS and other City and County agencies. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference tu congestion, automvtive and pedestrian safety and canvenience, traffic flow and controi, access, maneuverability, and remaval of snow from the street and parking areas. Since this Pub1ic Safety Radeo installation will be remotely monitored and will anly require a few vehicular trips annually for maintenance, 5taff does not believe that the proposed Public Safe#y Radio instailation will have any negative impacts on the above-referenced criteria. 4. Effect upon the character vf the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The Design Review Board has canditionally appraved this praposal and required that the Public Safety Radio installatian building and tower be painted to match the existing east Vail above grade water storage tank to minamize the uisual and aesthetic impacts of this proposal on the surrcaunding uses.

The instaliation will consist af an S foot by S foot build.ing on a concrete pad with a 40° "manapole" type tower supportzng 2 panel type antennas. The building will hava an exposed a~;~e~ate suz-face and can be colored to'blend into the surroundings. The "monopoie" will be painted to blend into the txee lirae. Typically, this will be flat black. The building will house the radio equipment that wiil networic into the Countywide radio system anci enhance the coverage specific to the East Vail area. The radios mperate in the same frequency range as eellular and wauld present no more interference potential than the two cellular towvers loeated to the South East of the water tank. Access to the site wauid be necessary anly in the event of a hard failure or annually for routine maintenance. The service requirements, after install, are minimal. The system is inonitored at a central kacation and most adjustments can be anade remotely. ~ . I ; i REC'D AUG - 12002 ~ ATTACHMENT D Executive Summary ~ The Eagle County Trunked Pubfic Safety Netwark is made up of several communications sites throughaut the Caunty. Tine sys#em has been an ongoing project that began in Late 1997. The primary system companen#s have beera . funded by the County with sQrne trunked sites being funded by focai cammunities to provide needed coverage or capacity fior their specifc needs. These "filf" sites - are integrated into the `Master Site" and complement the network. Most users are dispatched from the Vail Poiice Department Dispatch Center where the SrnartZane Master con#roller is loeated. As the system has buift out the need for an additional "fril° site to pravide coverage into the East Vail area was identifecl. The master plan had identified Baoth Fafls as a IEkely site since is had been a voted receiver site utilized with the UHF system that #he trunked system replaced. ln mid 2001 several cowefage tests were canducted to test t-ris theory and it was determirted that Booth Falls did not provide #he needed additiQnal coverage. Motoro[a Engineers were requested ta utilize a coverage projectian software tool to iaca#e an alternate si#e for consideration. The Gore Tank site was seCected based on coverage reliability and security. The Gare Tank locatian is si#uateci in the hills south of East Vail and laoks down ort the most important caverage areas. Eagle Riwer Water Authority contrqls i# and ~ access should not be a consideration. A live coverage #est was conduc#ed in rnid December to verffy the predictions. Cory Schmidt ot the 1/aiE Police Dept. participa#ed and confirmed the coverage tD be what is needed for East Vail. N1o#orola was asked to design and prapase a solutipn far cansideration by the Town of Vail. The attached proposal and documentation provides the vehicle to procure and install this site. The items required from Vail are outlined in the documents but bcieffy they include. . + Permission to Canstruct as+malI building on site •PermissiQn sa install a. 40 faot sectian af antenna support ~ Pravide electrical to the site • Arrange far a T1 circuit to the site • License the radio frequencies (this will be done by the County) The site will consist of 4 Intellirepeaters and necessary infrastructure to accommodate reasanabie expansion as needed. The Counfy plans to acfd #he 5~' eepeater to bafance the sites with the others in the Vail cvverage area. TFte equipment wilC be housed in of typical radio structure with backup power and environmental controls. e~U' antenna struc#ure wilf be attached #o the building and not need any supp rt from the tank. i 00 ~~9~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ " ~a . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ` ~ ~ - ' ' ~ ~ ~ " ~ - ~ ~ - _ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1; b ~ f=' ~ 9 ._~~.~~i ~ - . ~ ~ y~- y;~~."'_- ~ ~y ~R _~<t .t N ~ m i ~ ~+r.

The Cauncil agreed the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT could be extended for an addi4ional year if the applicant presented a master pian to the Council within one year. On April 24th, 2000 the Vail Mountain Schaol received approval for a develapment pfan (rr?aster plan) and a conditional use permit far the expansion of #he school facilities, ineluding eight Type III er-nployee housing units. Attachment A summarizes the development parameters that were approved far the master plan. The Vail Mountain School Master Plan invafves significant improverrtents canstructed in two separate phases, Phase I(June 2040-JuEy 2001) improvements include: - Qemolition af the rockfall mitigation berm ¦ Removal of the existing temporary classroam structure ¦ Canstruction of an eight-classroom wing to the north of the existing building - An eleuatar cannection ta all flaors ¦ Reconfiguration of the existing access and parlcing area to alaow for the addition of a udrop off' lane and additional parking. Phase II lan -term irn rovements include: ~ - Addition of a 300-seat auditorium ¦ Faculty housing 4 ~ ¦ Additional classraoms south of the gyrnnasium ¦ Additional parking It is important to note that the proposed 2002 develflpment plan and the approved 2000 master plan propose the same number of students (330 students) and 28 c9ass rooms. The 2002 proposal does include a larger auditorium (400 seats versus 300). The total flmor area is approximateay 31,993 square feet larger than the 2000 master plan. Parking (116 spaces) and employee housing is proposed to be the same for i the 2002 application and the 2000 master plan given that the number af students j and facuEty will remain the same. ~ B.

APPLICATION CRfTERIA, FINDIMGS, STAFF RECQMMENDATIONS, AND j CONDITiONS A. AMENDMENT TC) THE LAND USE PLAN FOR TRACT C ~ 1) General Overview of the Plan The TQwn of Vail Land Use Plan was initiatecf in 1985 and adapted in 1986 by the VaiB Town Council. The main purposes of the Land Use Pian are t?nro- foid: • To articulate the land use goals of the Town. • To serve as a guide for decisian making by the Town. ~ i The Town of Vail Land Use Plan is intended to senre as a basis from which #uture land use c#eeisions rnay be made within the Town of Vail. The goals, I as articulated within the Land Use Plan, are meant to be used as adopted ' policy guidelines in the review proeess for new development praposals. In conjunction with these goals, land use categories are defined #o indicate general types ofi land uses which are then used ta develop the Vaii Land Use Map. The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatary in nature, but is ~ intended to provide a general frarnework ta guide decisian making. Where the fand use categories and zaning canflict, existing zoning cantrofs deaelopment ~ on asite. To be effective, the Land Use Plan must be updated to reflect current thinking and changing market conditions. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan can be amended in three ways: 1) The Community Development Department can update and revise the plan periodically. The Community DerreEapment Qepartmen# then makes recommendations for the propo5ed changes to the Planning and Environmental Commission, where these changes waufd then be considered in a public hearing format. The Planning and Environmental Commission would #hen make a recommendatian to the Town CouncMl, where anather public hearing would be held. The Council then adapts the changes by resolution. 2) The Planning and Enviranmental Commission or Town CounciC can also initiate amendments to the Land Use Plan. Agairr, both boards hold pubiic hearings and the changes are adopted by the Town Council by resolution. 3} The private sectar can afso ini#iate ameradmenfis to the Vail Land Use PVan. Applications may be made by a registered voter, a praperty ~ owner, or a property owner's authorized representative. The ~ amendrnents aTe then heard ay both the Planning and Environmental I Carnmission and the Town Council. The Town Council then adopts the changes by resolution. ~ 11 1 ~ 2) Land Use Plan 47esiqnation Qescription for Tract C Current Land Use Plan designation far Tract e: Low Density Residential: This category includes single-family detached homes and two family dwelfing units. f7ensify of development within this category would typiea!!y not exceed 3 strucfures per 6urldabfe acre; hawever, afl of the adjacenf residenfial uses exceed 3 dwelling units per acre. Also vvithin this area would be private recreatron facrfifies such as fenRis courts, swimrnirrg pools and clubhouses fcrr the use of residerrts of fhe area_ Institutionallpu6lic , uses permitted woufd inclucle churches, fire stafions, and parks and apen space related facilities. Propased Land Use designation: Public%Semf-Pubfrc (PSP): The Public and semi-pu6lic cafego,ry includes schools, posf affice, wafer and sewer service and sforage facilifies, cemeteries, municfpal facilitles, arid ofher public institutians, which are located throughout the communify fo serve the needs of residents. 3) Cri#eria for amending the Town of Vail Land Use Plan ~ Any amendments to the Land Use Plan require a public process. Adjacent praperties are no#ified, the Planning and Environmental Commission holds a public nearing and makes a recammendation to #he Town Council on the proposal. Yhe Town Cauncil adopts the changes by resolutian. Any changes to the Land Use Plan must address the fallowing three criterta: 1. How conditions have changed since the plan was adopted7 Physical canditions and the fundamental land use pattems of the neighbarhood have not changed since the 1986 acloption of the plan. I However, the Vai1 Mountain School is proposing ta expand their program and physicai space consistent with a dewelopment plan that was approved in 2000. Since the Land Use plan was adopted the need for emplayee housing has significan#ly increased with only a 1% vacancy rate in the rental market in Vail. Employee housing is a cri#ical need in the Town of Vail and any proposed use that generates new empiayees needs to provide a reasonable ~ arrtount of housing for their emplayees. 2. How the plan is in error? The pfan is not in errar with respect to the land use designation. However, this land will be an integral component of the schaol's operatian, and a PubliciSemi PubYic land use designation wili be more appropriate in the future and will facilitate a cohesive develapment plan for the community and the ~ school. 12 I ~ 3. How the addrtian, deletion ar change to the plan is in concert with the plan in general? Adfacent lands are designated Public/5era-fi Public to the west ancf Low Density Residential ta the north. This designation allvws for the creation of associatecf housong for the school which is similar to how housing located at Buzzard Park which supports the Tawn of Vail Public Warks operation also with a PubliclSemi Public desigraatian. The Town of Vai1 Land Use Plan also states on page 8 of the plan that affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by iimited incentives and additional ernployee hausing needs should be accomrnadated at +raried sites throughout the community,n 4. StafF Recommendatian The Gommunity Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Carnrriission forward a recommendation of approval to the Vai[ Tawn Cauncil for the land use amendment in that it allaws for uses consistent with adjacent land uses and the creatian of a harmonious relationship with the adjacent residentraP and institutional uses and that this application meets the criteria mentioned above. B. REZUNING OF LO'fS 72, 11, AND TRACT C ~ 1. RezoninQ Criteria Befare acting on an applicati4n for a zone district baundary amendment, the PEanning & Environmental Cornmission and Town Cauncil shall consider #he following faciors wiih respect to the requested zone district boundary amendment: 1} The extent to which the zone clistrict amendment is cansistent with ail the applicabie elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail Comprehensive Plan and is cornpatible with the derrelopment abjectives of the Town. I Lots 11 and 12 have a PubliclSemi Public Land Use PEan Designatian. Rezoning Lot 11 and the northern area of Lat 12 will increase the confarmance to #he Vaif Land Use Pfan. With an arrientlment to the Land Use Plan for Tract C, the rezoning of Tract C i to General Use zone district would be cansistent with the Cornprehensive Plan, The affordable housing on firact C is an ~ integral part of the schaol an Lot 12. 2) The extent #o which the zane district amendment is suitable with the existing and patential land uses on the site and existing and potential surrounciing land uses as set out in the Town's ado,pted ~ planning documenxs. A school in a residential neighborhood is suitable and can wark well togefiher. Schoals are typically located in residential areas. The 13 f school has been lacated on Lot 12 since 1980. There has been a ~ relatively harmonious relationship between the schoal and the adjacent neighborhoad. The lacation of school employee housing on firact C is also consistent with the adjacen# neighborhoad_ Tract C currently has a zoning of Two Family Residential. With that zoning, the lot could be subdivided irrto three parceEs and have approx9mately 15,000 square feet af gross residential floor area. The school is proposing 2 structures with 8 employee housing units for a grand total af 7,280 sq, ft. of gross residential floar area. 3) The extent ta which the zane district amendment presents a harmonious, convenient, workable reNationship among land uses cansistent with munic'rpal development ahjectives. The propased rezoning af the en#ire area of Lat 92 as General Use creates a mare workable relationship amang land uses and corrects an error that occurred in 1979 when that land was improperly subt#ivided and conveyed to another owner. LQt 11 which is now owned by the Vail Moun#ain Schaol should be rezoned to General Use since the use of the property will be a schoof. This lot has been surraunded by school land and lhis rezaning creates a more harmonious workable rela#ianship with the Vait Mountain Schools development plans. Tract C will continue to have a residential use that is interconnected with the school. The proposed housing an ~ Tract C in relatianship with the circulation pian for t!he schoo1 wrll reduce traffic on Katsos Ranch Road. These rezanings essentially consolidate the 9and on and around the school inta the same zone dis#rict (General Use) and creates a more workable relationship for the school's develapment plans and allaws the impacts of the school to be effectively mitigated to the e7ctent passible. 4} The extent #o which the zone district amendment provides #or the I grawth of an orderly viabfe community and daes not consxitute spot zoning as the amendment serves the best interests af the eommunity as a whole. By rezoning the northern area of Lots 12 and 11 to the General Use Zone District there is increased conformity to the Land Use Plan since the designation for this iand is PubficlSemi Public. With the amendment ta the Land Use Plan for Tract C to PubliclSemi Public and fhe development af housing an the site for the school that I amendment will also serve the iraterests of the community as a vuhole by having an ernployer pravide housing for a portion af the new employees that would be generated by the prolect. 5) The extent to which the zone district amendment results in adverse or benefcial impacts on the natural environment, including but not limited #o water quali#y, air quaFity, noise, ~ aegetation, riparian carridors, hillsides and other desirable natural features i 14 ! P I ~ An Enviranmental Impact Report was prepared for this praposal. No significant environrnental impacts were identifiied in the report. There are existing trees that wauld be removed as the result of the praject. Appraximately 334 aspens and 40 evergreens. Hawever, the landscape plan helps mitigate that gmpact. The appiicant is proposing to add 445 deciduous trees and 250 evergreen 3rees to the site as part of th@ landscaping plan. fi) The extent to which the zone district amendment is consistent ~ vwith the purpose statement of the proposed zane district. The purpase statement of the General Use Zone District is defined in 5ection 12-9C-1, Vail Town Code, and reads as follows: „The general use disfrict fs infended to pravide sites forpublic and quas!-publiG uses which, because of fheir special characterisfics, cannot be approprrately regufafed by the development sfandards prescribed for other zoning clistricts, and for wvhich clevelopmenf standards especially prescribed for each partrcular develapment proposal ar praject are necessary #a achieve the purposes prescribed rn section 92-9-2 af t,his fitJe and to provid'e for the public welfare. The Geraeral Use ~ Drsfricf is irafended to ensure fhat public buildings and graunds and certain types of quasi-public uses permitted in the disfrrct are appropriafely locafed and desigrred to meet the needs of residents arrd visitars to Vail, to ftarmanize with surrourrd'rng U5E5, and, in the case of buildings and other struetures, to ensure adequa#e lighf, air, open spaces, arad ather amenifies appropriate to the permitted types of uses. (Ord. 21(1994) § 10)" A school is a public or quasi public use whieh does have special needs. The development plan pracess Rrovided for in the General Use zane helps ensure that the praposed develc,pment is in harmony with the adjaeent uses and that the potenxial impacts vf the buiiding are adequately mitigated. 7) The extent to which the zone district amendrMent demonstrates haw conditians have changed sfrrce the zoning designation of the subject praperty was adapted and is n+a longer appropriate. With regard to Lo#s 12 and 11, the proposed rezoning addresses an error that was made in 1979 when the narthern portion af Lot 12 was canveyed to another awner. in addition, #he school has surrounded Lot 11 making a residential ckevelapment on that site difficult at best. With regard to Tract C, an increased need for emplayee housing has ~ resulted in the East 20 years. I# is now a matter of policy that when an emplayer generates new employees that ihey need to accommadate housing for a percentage of those new emplQyees. Also employers are finding it necessary to provide ernployee housing to recruit high IS quality employees. Therefore, staff believes that the eight proposed EHUs are an integral and necessary component of the school. 8) Sucit other factors and criteria as the Commission andlar Council deem applicable to the propased rezoning. 3. Necessary F[ndings: Before recammending andlor granting an approval of an application for a zone district bountiary amendment the Planning & Environmental Commission and the Town Council shall make the faflowing findings with respeet to the reques#ed amendment: 1) That the amendment is consistent with the adapted goafs, objectives ancf policies autlined in the Vail Camprenensive Plan and compatible with the developmen# objectives of the Tawn. 2} That the amendment is compatible with anc{ suitable to acfjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas. 3} That the amendrnent promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare af the 7ov+rn and pramotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural enviranment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality. + 4. Staff Recammendation The Cammunity Development Department recommends that the Planning and Envrronmen#al Commission farwarcE a recommendation of approval for the rezoning of Lots 11 and 12„ Block 2, Vail Village 12`h and Tract G, Block 1, Vail ViClage 12 'h and that the propased amendments are consistent with the criteria and findings described above. C. C4NQITIONAL USE PERMIT(S) FCiR DEVELUPMENT PLAN, EEGHT EHUs ON TRAGT C, ANt} IVIAIN7'AINING THE MODULAR STRUCTURES C?dV THE SITE. 1. Criteria for a Conditional Use Permit 1) Relationship and irnpact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. The Vail Land Use Plan applies a°PubliclSemi-Pubfic" land use designatian on this property. This category includes uses such as schaals, post office, water and sewer service and storage facilities, cemeteries, municipal facilities, and other institutions which are located throughout the community to senre the needs of residents. Staff belierres this proposal is in compCiance with all applicabfe objectives of ~ the `Jail Land Use Plan. StafF believes the proposal furthers the following specifc goals: 16 1.1 Uail shvuld eontinue to grow ir? a controiled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, comrnercial and recreational uses to serve both the uisitar and the permanent resident, 1.3 The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possib{e. 1.12 Vail shauld accommodate most of the edditional grawth in existing developed areas (infill areas), 5.1 Additiona[ residential growth should continue to accur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not sxist. i 5_3 AfFordable employee housing should be made availaale thraugh private effQrts, assisted by IirraEted incentives, provitlecf by the Town of Vail wi4h appropriate restrictions. 5.4 Residential grourth should keep pace with the marketpEace derrnands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional emplayee housing needs should be ~ accommodated at varied sites thraughQUt the cvmmunity. 6.1 Services shoufd keep pace with 9ncreased growth. With relationship to the conditional use permit for the temporary structures, Sectian 12-9C-3, Vail Tawn Code allows for ternporary sfiructures subject to the issuance of a conditianal use permi#. The Vail Town Cc+de requires the issuance of a cancEitional use permi# far temporary structures, in part, to irasure that adequate steps are taken to insure that the structure cvmplies with the developmenf obtectives of the Town. The intent of allowing temparary struetures is to accomrnodate those situations when a permanent structure is not appropria#e or circum5tances, such as duration af use, ~ warrants a temporary structure. In the case af the Vail Mountain Schcral, staff ~ believes a temParary structure is warranted far a limi#ed period of time to ; accammodate the immediate needs of the school while the school completes ; constructian of the new facility. Staff belieues the two-year request is appropriate. However, a request for an extension to the two-year tdmeframe should not be permitted. 2) The Qffect at the use an light and air, distribution of pvpufation, transpor#ation €aci[ities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Transportation - plcase re#er to item 3 below. Schoats - Planned impravernents for the school wauld increase capacity to appraximately 300 students and pravide affordable housing for teachers and 17 staff. Staff beiieves the pro,pQSal would have a significant posifive impact on ~ educational opportunities in the Vaif Valley. Parks and Recreatican - Staff believes the proposed auditorium faciPity could be a valuable amenity to Vail residents if managed via a publiclprivate partnershrp. The applicant has expressed a desire to provide opportunities for pub{ic events at the auditorium when schaol-re[ated functions are nat planned. The redevelopment of the soccer field will also provide recreational apportunities for the cornrnunity. The requested conditional use permi# for the temporary structures will have positive effects on the imrriediate needs of the school to meet growing dernands. The temparary classroorns will allow the school to provide educational opportunities for up to 18 additional students. . ~ 3.Effect upon traffic with particular reference to cangestion, automotiVe and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, rrmaneuverability, and removal of snow fram the stree# and parking areas. The applicant has completed a trafftc impact assessment. This study coraciudes that traffic on Ka#sos Ranch Road will be reduced. Traffic on Booth Creek Road will not be increased significantiy and the traffic consuftant ~ has concluded that additiarral turning lanes are nat requered. Adjacent fields and apen space will provide more than the 30% af the parking area far snow storage. However, the applicant needs to identify srtow storage for the EHU parking and the north parking lot. With the change in circula#ion of the parking area and with the eigFrt EHUs on Tract C a net decrease in traffic will occur on Katsos Ranch Road. 4.Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be Ivcated, including #he scale and bulk of the proposed use in reiation to surrounding uses. The proposed structures are larger than the 2000 devefopment plan with approximateiy 87,300 square feet of gross floar area versus approximately 55,390 square fee# of floor area approued in the 2000 master plan, which is nearly 58% inceease in floor area. It is important to nQte that the Vai] Mountain Schoal has increase its land area from 6.1 acres to 9.18 acres. That is an appr4ximately 50% increase in total lot area. The applicant is attempting to articulate the building to reduce the perceived bulk and mass of the building. However, this is stoll a large structure for this area of Vail. The proposed EMUs are compatikale in scale +nrith ather adjacent uses. The total flaor area of #he EHUs is 6ess than if the lot was fully developed for duplex devefapmerat under the Two Family ResicGential Zone District. With regard to the conditional use permit for the temparary structures, s#aff ~ believes that due to the exterior improvements of the structures, the location 2s af the structure on the schoal site, and the temparary nature of the building, the temporary classroom wiil have minimal, if any negative impacts an the character of the area. i ~ ~ ~ 2. Findinqs for Canditional Use Permits ' i The Planning & Environmenta! Commission shafl make the foilowing findings ~ before granting a conditional use permit: That the proposed locatian of the use is irr accordance with the ~ purposes of fhe conditional use permit sectivn of the zaning code and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use ancf the conditions under which it woufd be operated or maintained would not be detrimerttaf to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties ar improvements in the vicinity_ 3. That the proposed use would comply +,vith each ot the applrcable provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code. I 3. Staff Recommendations and Conditions ~ ~ The aepartment of Gomrr3unity Development recommerads that the Planning and Environmental Comanission approve of the proposed conditional use permits, based upon the abave mentioned criteria and findings referenced above, for: * The Develapmen# Plan • 8 EHUs on Tract C • Cantinued use of mot{ular trailers I If #he Planning and Errvironmental Commission chooses to apprave of these conditional use permits, staf# would recommend the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall provide the Town of Vail wath an easement for the existing pub[ic bus stap a# the southwest corner of the property prior to building permit submittaf. 2.

The current pFan identifies a totaf of 120 par{cing spaces with 92 spaces in the main school lot (Booti-r Fa{ls Raad access), 12 spaces in the northem lot (Boath Falls Road nortli access), and 16 spaces in the r'acuity izousing lot (Katsos Ranch Road access). The parking supply on the school campus wiil sufficiently s+erve thE average day to day school operatFans. These aperatians currentEy include school piays, perfQrniances, meetings, and athfetic events. The revised parking configuration will resuft in slight diversions in #raffic (15- 20 vehicles) from the Katsos Ranch Road ta tlie Booth Falls Road intersection a9ong the Froiitage Road. This traffic diversion does r,ot warrant the need far auxiliary ianes a1oiig the Frontage fioad since the percent increase in traffic over existing volumes wilf remaira at less lIIC7n ?0%. A.s riated in the 715, alternatives to reduce parking demands should be cpnsidered if an ewent oecurs on the site or at the auditariuni thai creates a parkingdemand in excess of the proUosed 120 5pr1Ce5, A parking management plan has been established by the school that adeiresses parking demand5 and meihods for eantaining these veIZecies on site far Iarge Qvents.

Vail Village Master Plan i A majority of the properties in the PA Zane Dis#ricf are included within the Vail Village Master Plan Boundary, None of the properEies are lacated within the Commercial Core I area, however several properties are located within the area delineated to be included in the Urban Design ' Guide Plan. Buildinq Heiqht Plan I Generally speaking, it is fhe goal af this Plan to maintain the cancentration of low scale buildings in the core area while positioning larger buildings along the northem periphery (along the , Frontage Road), as depicted in the Buildirtg Height Prafile Plan. Thos pattern has already been ~ established and in some cases these larger structures alang the Frantage RQad serve to frame views over Vail Village to Uail Mountairt. The BuFlding Height Plan also strives, in some areas, I to preserve major views from public right-of-ways. Building heights greatly influence the character of the built environment in the Village. This is particularly true in the Village Core where typical buifding heights of three to four stories establish a pleasing human scale. The buiiding heights expressed on this ll{ustrative Plan are intended to prov?de genefial guidelines. Additional study shauld be made during specific project review relative to a building's height impact an the streetscape and relationship ta surrounding structures. Specific design consideration on build'rng heights are faund in the Sub-Area section of this Plan and in the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan. A cogy of the Canceptual Building Height Plan and other relevant sections frorn the Vail Village Master Plan and Urban Design Considerations has 6een attached for reference. Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan The 1Jaii Village Urban C7esign Guide Plan was adopted by the Town of 11ai10n June 11, 1880 and subsequently revised on January 15, 1993, The Guide Plan represents callective ideas about functional and aesthetic olajectives for Vail Village. Diagrammatic in nature, the Guide Plan is intended to suggest #he nature 4f the improvements desired. lt is based on a number af • urban design criteria whicn have been deterrnined ta be appropriate principles for guiding 4 ~ change in Vail VilEage. As such, the Guide P[an is a response to current issues and perceived problems, and intended to be a guide current planning in both the public and private sectors. Guide Plan recommendations of particular importance to this request are: A. Street Enclosure B. Buildeng Height C. SurtfShade D. Views and Focal Points A copy of each af these Design Considerations has been attached fiar reference. VI. 51'T'E ANALYSIS [n 1899, Staff prepared a site analysis for each of the properties in the Town a# Vail that are IQCated in the Pubfic Accommodatidn Zane District. The locatian of the properties was deriWed , from the Official Touvn of Vail Zoning Map. The purpose af the analysis was to provide a camparative analysis of the development cons#ructed an each of the respective sites. A capy of the 1999 5ite Anafysis has been attached for reference. Vli. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONiIVG ~ According ta the C)fficial Town of Vail Zoning Map, praperties zoned Public Accommodation are generaNy located around the periphery of #iae vill'age commercial core area. Further, ihe Vail Land Use Pfan designates the village commerciaE care area as "Vai! Mlaster Plan" Pursuant ta the Vail Land Use Plan, the Vail Master Plan designation indicates the Village Core Area where development and growth is guided by the goals, objectives and po1icies as outlined in the Vail Village Master Plan (adopted Novernber 1$, 1986). An exceptian to the genera] spatial location of the Public AccommodatiQn Zone District around the periphery of the vilfage cammercial cflre area is the Roost Lodge. The Roost Locige is 9ocated at 1783 North Fron#age Road. According to #he Vail Land Use Plan, the Roost Lodge has a land use designatian of "Medium Derrsity Residentia!": Vfll.

DISCUSSION ISSUES The Gommunity aevelopment Department has identified a number of issues that we believe need to be addressed during the review and c4nsideration of this text amendment praposal. The fallowing is a list of issues: 1. impacts on building bulk and mass and the effects that may have an the character of the area. 2. Impacts on the availability of light and air to surrouncfing uses. 3. Impacts on sun/shade on adjacent properties and public spaces. 4. Impacts on views from public spaces and estabiished view corridors. 5. Impacts on the encfosure af streets and spaces between bui9dings. 6. lmpacts on the urban design considerations with respect to the heigh# af eaves ancf overhangs. 7. Impacts on the development objectives af the Town of VaiL ~ 6 ~ X. STAFF RECQMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the final review of a request ' for a recommendation to the VaiM Town Council to aflow for a text amendmen# to Section 12-7A-7 of the Vail Tawn Code be tabled to the August 26, 2002 meeting af the F'lanning and Environmental Commission. We further recommencf that the Planning and ~ Environmental, the applicant, the public and staff engage in a dialague with respect to the issues surrounding the proposed text amendment and identify questions that may need furfiher clarificatCon, prior to the Planning and Environmenial Commission forwarding its recommendation ta the Vaal Town Councal.

BACKGROUND ~ The Mountain Bell site was annexed inta the Town of Vail by Ordinance No. Series of 1969. In 1974, as part of an agreement wi#h Vaif Associates, Inc., regarding bus service, the property was deeded to the Town of Vail. A partion of the site is awned by Qwest and is the site af the Mauntain Bell tower. ln additian, ABC and Learning Tree schools are located an the site. The rernainder of the site is currently open space. On September 24, 2001, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed #he fallowing requests: 1. A major subdivision, ta allow for the platting of #he site known as Mauntaira Bell. The subdiWision will be known as "°Micfdle Creek Subdivision," and will consist of Lot 1(the housEng site, known as Middle Creek Village), Lot 2(the Pdlountain Bell tower site), and Tract A(the apen space parcel). 2. A Land Use Plaro amendment, to change the land use designation from "Open Space" to "High Density Residential"of Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision. 3. A rezoning, ta rezone Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdvision, from "Natural Area Preservation Qistrict" to "Hausing Zorre D6str'rct". The Planning and Environmental Commission appror+ed the major subdivisian reques#, and forwarded recommenda#ians of appraval to the Town Council for the Land Use Plan amendment and the rezaning eequest. With Ord9nance No. 29, Series af 2001, Town Council appraved the rezoning of the site, and with Resolution No. 6, Series of 2001, ~ Tawn Council approved the Land Use Plan arriendment. Both approvals are conditioned upon the fifing of #he final p[at for Middle Creek Subdivisian, and the appraval of a development plan for the site. This application has been before the Planning and Environmental Cammission an numerous occasions over the past few rnonths to discuss the development plan for Middle Creek in a work sessian format. The applicant is requesting a final review of the propased development plan for Middle Creek and the conditional use permlt for the Early Learning Center. On March 11, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission voted 5-2 (Schafield and Golden against) to tabfe the request for development plan review and the conditional use permit for the Early Learning Center at Lot 1, Middle Creek Subdivision. On April 8, 2002, the Planning and Enviranmental Garnmission and Design Review Board held a joint worksession to review the propased Middle Creek Housing Develapment.

As proposed, the surface parking and amount af asphalt is excessive. The resolution to this issue will nnt involve a reduction in the parking requirement, nor will screening the surface parking be acceptabie. Based upon the Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Baard's April 8, 2002, comments, reaised conceptual plans were submitted to the Depar#ment af Gommunity Develapment and additionaP meetings with the Planning and Environmental Cammission and Design Review Board were scheduied. Qn ApriE 22, 2002, the Pfanneng and Environmental Commission reviewed cQnceptual plans fflr the re-designed Middle Greek deveiopment. The Planning and Enviranmental Commissian's camments iracluded the following; . 1. Generaily, ths Planning and Enviranmental Commission was supportive of the change in design. 2. The massing needs ta be broken ciown on the east and west sides o# the structure. 3. ft was stated th,at that rnore units cQUld be added on the east side of the building to reduce the mass of the building. 4. There were concems expressed regarding the livability af the project and ensuring that #he new design would be attractive to fhe public and the residents af ihe praject. 5. There is a need to ensure that this project reflects the gualory of the community, I giuen its prime location in town. ~ rJn May 1, 2002, the Design Rewiew Board reviewed conceptual plans far the re- designed Middle Creek development. The Design Revpew Board's eommen#s included the following: 1. The underground parking is a pasitive additian, helping greatly to rninimize site disturbance. ~ 2.

Then, through grdinance Na. 29, Series of 2001, the Town Council rezoned Lot i, Middle Creek from Nafiural Area Preservation District to the Housing zone district. Much like a 5pec9al aevelopment District or the General Use zone district, the Wousing zane district requires the Planning and Environmentaf Commiss9on ta prescribe development standards, including lot size, density, gr4ss residential flc+or area, height, etc. A site analysis has been attached fior reference. The following issues have been identifaed by the staff: The Middle Greek site is zoned Housing zane district. The Hausing zone district was adopted by the Town of Vail in 2001. fts purpose is as follows: The Nousing L}istrict is lntended to provide adequafe sites for employee housing which, because af fhe rrature and characteristics of employee hnusrng, cannot be adequately regUlafed 6y the develapment srana'ards prescrrbed for ather residential zoning disrricfs. ft is necessary in thls district to provide development i standards specifically prescribed for each developrnent proposal or project fo achieve the purposes prescribed in Secfion 12=1-2 of th1's Title and fo provt'de for fhe public we/fare. Certain norrresidential uses are a!lowed as candirional uses, which are infended to be rncidental and secondary fn the residential uses af the Drsfrict. The Nausing Qlstricf r`s intended to ensure fhat emplayee housing permrtted in the aistrict is approprrately Jacated and designed to meef the needs ~ of resr`dents Df Vail, to harmoraize with surrQUndrng uses, and to ensure adequate Irght, air, open spaces, and other amenities apprapriate to the allowed types of uses. I 10 # A. Density The applicant is currently proposing 142 dwelling units. The proposal includes 44 studio units, 29 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units, and 45 three- bedroam units. According to the Tawn of Vail Land Use Plan, the land use designation far this site is "High Density ResidentiaP" which is defined as: The housing in thls category would typically canslst of multf-floored str'uctures with densities exceeding 15 dwe!ling ur+its per buildable acre. Qther acflvities fn this cafegory would inclUde private recreationaJ facilitres, and private parking facilities arrd rnstitutianal/pubfic use$ such as churches, frre sta#ions, and parks and apen space facrlitles. The current density of Middle Creek is 21.3 dwelling units per acre or 31 dwelling units per buildable acre, This is a praposed total ofi 256 beds on the site. In the Housing zone district, #he Planning and Environmental Gommissian prescribes ' allowable density.

Community Commercial Units: 71 dwelling units Density: 10.8 dulacre B. Parking Pursuant to Section 12-61-$, Vail Town Cade, development within the Housing zone district, the parking requirements are as outlined in Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. Hawever, the Housing zone disfrict does allow far a reductian in the number of required parking spaces, subject to Planning and Environmental Commission rewiew and approval of a parking managerreent plan. Section 12-61- 8: Parking and Loadrng, Vaii Tawn Cade, states: Off-sPreet parking shall be provided fn accordance with Chapter 10 of this Title. IVo parking or loadirrg area shaN be locafed withln any required serback area. At the discrerion af the Planning and Environmental Cammfsslvn, variations to the parkJng standards outlined in Chapter 10 rnay be approved 'i during the review af a developrnent plan subject to a Parkrng Managemetaf Plan. The Parking Management Plan shal! 6e appraved by the Planning and Envirnnmenta! Commission and shall provlde for a reductiora in the parking requirements based on a demonstrated need for fewer parking spaces fharr Chapfer 10 of thfs title woufd require. For exarrrple, a demansfrated need for a reduction in the reqUired parking cauld include: A. Proxirnity or availabrfrty of alternative mades of transportation including, 6ut not limited to, pu6lic transit or shuttle services. B. A limitatiQn placed in the cleed restrrcrions limrtrng the num6er af cars far each unit. C. A cfemorrsfrated permanent program irrcludlrrg, bui not limited to, rideshare programs, carshare programs, shuttle senrice, or staggered work shiffs. The allocatic?n of parEcing spaces is based on dwelfing unit size. Chapter 12-10, Vail Tawn Gode, requires 1.5 parking spaces for units less than 500 sq. ft.; 2 pa.rkEng spaces for units 500 to 2000 sq. ft.; and 2,5 parking spaces for units over 2000 sq. ft. As proposed, the parking requirement wouid be as fallows: Number and Type of Unit Parkinq ratia_ Totad_Spaces • 44 studia units 7.5 - - 66 29 one-bedraorn units 1.5 43.5 24 two-bedroam units 2 48 12 ~ 45 three-bedroom units 2 90 Tatal 248 The applicant is proposing 270 parking spaces fQr the entire development site. The applicant is proposfng 248 parkirag spaces for the proposed housfrag, meeting the parking requiremertt, as prescribed by Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. The remaining 22 spaces are for the Early Learning Center. Houuever, a deviation ta the parking requirement is required for the size of the parking spaces. As currently praposed, the parking spaces are canfigured as follows: 138 tandem spaces (51 132 single spaces (49°1O) 77 compact spaces (29%) 25% is allowed by tlae Tawn Code 193 full-size spaces (71 211 cavered spaces (78%) 59 surface spaces (22%) Previously, the applicant praposed ta enclose 59°!o of the proposed parking. I With this current submittal, the appiicant is prapasing to enclose 7$% of the parking. Staff believes that this is an appropriate percentage of enclosed parking for this site. The remaining surface parking must be screeneci with site walls, ~ berms, or landscaping. The applicant has provided a parking management plan which is attached for reference. Should the Planning and Environmental Cornmission choose to approve the proposed deveEopment plan, this parking management plan shall be included as park of the approvaE. C. Setbacks Section 12-61-5, Vail TQUVn Code, describes the setbac{c requiremenfs in the Housing zane district: T1te sefbacks irr this dlsrrict shall be 20' fram the ,perimeter of fhe zane district. At the discretron of the Plannrng and Errvfronrnental Gornmission, variations to the setback standards may be appraved duriRg the review of a development plan subject to the appllcant demonstratirtg compllance with fhe followtng criteria: A. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separafion betweerr buifdings and ri,narian areas, geologically serrsitive areas and other environmerttally sertsltive areas. B. Praposed buifding setbacks will provide adequate avaflabifity of light, air arrd open space. C. Prapased buildirrg sstbacks will provide a campatible relationship with buildings and uses on adjacent properties. ~ D. Prcaposed buirding setbacks wifl result in creative design soluttons or other public benefits tha[ could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with ,prescrrbed setbaek standards. 13 Variatrons to the 20 ft. setback shall no[be allowea' on property lines adJacerrt ~ to HR, SFR, R, PS, and RG zoned prQperties, unless a varfance is approved by the PlaRning ana' Environmental Gommrssian pursuant to Chapter 17 of thls Tftle. The applicant is proposing the following se#backs: Front -18 ft. (at ELC) Side - 27 ft. Side - 20 ft. Rear -60 ft. or 4 ft. fdr parking As further discussed in Section VII of this memorandum, staff beFieves that deviations tQ the 20 ft. setback are appropriate an this site. However, staff also believes that there must be adequate areas for landscaping to buffer buildings and uses from the I-70 corrador. Staff recommends that a landscaping and sound berm be included in the landscaping plan for the Early Learning Center. E7C. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN THE H ZOhIE DISTRICT The fallowing criteria shaCl be used as the principal means for erraluating a proposed ~ development plan. lt shal{ be the burden af the applicant to demonstrate tnat the propased development plan complEes with all applicable design criteria: A. Building clesign with respect to architecture, charac#er, scale, massing and ~ urientation is compatible with the site, adjacent proper#ies and the surrounding neighbarhood. Adjacent uses to the project include the fallowing: • Solar Vail - a multiple-family housing project currently zaned High Density Multiple Family. • Trac# C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space iract currentiy zoned Natural Area Preservation aistrict. ' • Parcel B, Spracfdle Creek Ranch - an open space tract currently zorred Natural Area Preservation District. This property is adjacent #o Lot 1. • I-70 Right-of-lNay - land owned by CDQT but located within Town af Vail boundaries. ps a road righ#-ofi-way, there is no zoning on the property. This praperly is adjacent ta Lot 1. • White River Nationaf Forest fand pwned by the United States Forest Senrice outside of the Town of Vail boundary. While the site 9acks many direct neighbors, this site is of extreme impor#ance as it is visable from the main entrance into the Town of Vail. The siting af buildings and improvements must be responsive to the existing tapography of the site. The Qesign Review Board and the Planning and Environmental Comrnission have encauraged the applicant to cluster the development on the site, thus preserving some of the natural features and topagraphy of the site. Staff believes tha# the applicant has proposed a design whieh is rrtore responsive to this request than the previous ~ proposal. Many of the large trees at the entrance to the site have been preserWed. Enclosed parking has been €ncreased tram 59% to 78%. 14 ~ in the previflus prQposal, buildings vaere loeated as close as 8 ft. ta the property line. The nousing development has maintained a 20 ft. setback for all structures. The Early Learning Center has a frant setback of 18 ft. Staff believes that the praposed setbacks meet the intent of the Housing zvne district. According to SectiQn 12-61-5: Setbacks: The se[backs irr thfs distrr'ct shall be 20` from the perimeter of the zone district At the discretipn of the Pfannr'ng and Environmenta! Camrrrrss+on; variafions to the setback standards may be approved during the review of a developmenf plarr subject to the applicant demQnstrafrrrg compliance wrth fhe fallowing criteria: F. Propased burlding setbacks provide necessary separation between buildings and riparian areas, geologically serrsitive areas and other environmentaJly sensitrve areas. ~ F. Proposed building set,backs will pravide adcquafe availability of light, air and apen space. G. Propased building setbacks wilfprovide a corrrpatible relationship with bu1ldrngs and crses on adjacent properties. N. Propased building setbacks wr'lf result in creatrve desr'gn solutrarrs vr ofher pu6lic benefits that could not otherwise be achr'eved by confQrmance with prescrrbed setback standards. Staff believes that additianal consideration must be given to the massirrg of the , prapased buildings ern the site. As proposed, Building C has a rrsaximum height of 81.5 ft. Staff befieves #hat the massing of the proposed design mus# be compatible ~ with the si#e, adjacent properties, and the surrounding neighborhoad. Because this site is surrounded by undeveloped sites, any structure will be highly visible at #his focation. The Des'rgn Review Board is particularly concerned aboUt the massing of Building C an the east elevatian and encauraged the applicant to consider stepping the building down to a one- or twa- story efevation on the east side. The character of the proposed building must also be carrrpatible with the site, adjacent properties, and the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant has been to the Design Review Board numeraus times to discuss architectural character. The Design Review Baard requested that the applicant maintain the architectural character vvhich has been proposed in alf design elements o# the buildings. ~ Particularly, the Design Revievtir Board expressed concem abaut the use of hardi- board instead of stucco on the visible facades of the buildings. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functianal deveEopment plan respansive to the site, the surround'ang neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. 5taff believes that the propased uses and activities have been located to praduce a functional development plan, responsive to the site, the surrounding neighboncood and uses, and the community as a whole. Specifically, the separation of the Early Learning Center and the housirag is a positive element of the current propasaf. Previausly, parkirrg #or the haUSing was located adjacent to the parking for the Early f.earning Center. Staff belieWes #nat separation of these uses provides for a mare ~ functianal development plan. ln addition, the applicant has designed a turn-around area for the Early Learning Center, and 22 parking spaces, which staff belieues will allow for the additional stacking of vehicles at peak traffic times. Staft b€;iieves that 15 additianal consideration must be given to the fire truck staging area. Specifically, ~ staff believes that fire fruck staging should be accommodated by widening the southern portian Qf the turnarDUnd to meet staging requirements. This wiil reduce the arnount of paving required at the Early Learning Center and wilf pravide for additional landscaping appartunities. C. Open space and Iandscaping are bath functional anci aesthetic, are designed to preserwe and enhance the natural features af the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the prapased uses and surraunding praperties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. The proposed limits af disturbance far the uvest portion of the property keeps deveIQpment out of the riparian corridor and protects the existang Middle Creek. Staff believes tha# this is a benefit of the development. ]n addition, more trees at the entrance to the deveEopment are retained than were retained by the previous proposal. The setbacks for the housirag have been maintained at 20 ft., allowing for additional landscaping and berming to screen the uses than the previous design allowed. A recreation area of approximateiy 4,250 sq. ft. has been praposed. This recreation area is adjacent to Building C and has greater exposure to the sun than the previous recreation area prvposal. Staff believES that this criterion has been met. ~ D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pieasing circufatian to #he site and throughout the development. This site, due to its topography, is a difficult site to access. Staff believes that the vehicular circulation #hrough the site has been designed to be as efficient as possible and meet the Town's regulatiQns regarding access. The applicant has provided adequa#e snow starage, meeting the Town's regulations which require an area equaling 30% of the paved area far snow storage. The access drive to the site is a private drive, and wi!l be maintained by the applicant. ~ Additional information is required regarding exterior site ligh#ing, which staff belieWes is an important aspect of pedestrian circulation and that must meet the recamrnencEation of the Environmental Impact Repark. However, staff believes #hts issue should be considered at the t}esign Review Board. The integration of a bus stop inta the d'evelopment rs a positive improvement to the development of the site. The bus is able to enter the site entirely, no# blocking traffic on the Frontage Raad, and exit the site in both direciians. Staff beRieves the applicant has met the concerns of the Planning and EnvironmentaP Cornmission and ~ staff concerning bus traffic. The applicant has indicated a 10 ft. pedestrian and bike path along the Frontage Road from the west property Bine, extending to the existing sidewalk at the ~ roundabaut. In adcfition, the applicant is proposing an informal path fram the east 16 ~ side af the housing to the path along Frontage Road. Staff befieves that this connection will meet the needs for pedestrian and bike circulatiorr for the site. E. Environmental impacts resuiting from the praposal have been iden#ified in the ~ praject's environrnental irnpaet repQrt, if not waived, and all necessary matigating measures are implemented as a par't of the proposed development plan. The Environmentaf Impact Report has been incEuded far reference. Staff beliewes that by limiting development to the eas# side of Middle Creek, the praject has limited its impact on Middle Creek. In addit4on, the develapment has not encroached onto the area of 40% slapes, loca#ed an the northern partion af the site. There are some areas of 40% SIOpeS which were created during the original construction of the access raad and the ABC and Learning Tree schools. As these are not the existing grades of the site, staff does not believe this to be an issue. According to the Tawn of Vail hazard maps, Middle Creek Subdivision 'ts locaied within a Medium Severi#y Rockfall hazard and Moderate Hazard Debris Flow. A si#e- specific study has been compPeted by R.J. drish, dated August 16, 2001, and is attached for reference. The consultcng engineering geologist acknawlEdges that the risk of debris flaw from the Middle Creek Valley to be high cfuring the lifietime of the project, with a volume described as "small to quite large.° The report indicates that the entire site is located within a high hazard debris fEow area. The report afso suggests that the risk could be minimized through mitigation measures. The report ~ alsa acknowledges that the risk ot rockfa[I is medium during the lifetime of the project. Mitigation recammended by the report inclucfes ciislodging exposed baulders by hand prior ta constructian. ft further states that any aou6ders woufd likely be trapped in the channel of the creek. The hazard reparts have been included for reference. Staff believes that the site plan must indicate a limits of disturbance fence. In additian, the hazarcl rnitigatEan plan also indicates large trees to screen the berrn, but the landscape plan indicates shrubs and bushes. Staff believes that the berm must be screened in a similar manner ta the screenirrg requirements for the Bnothfalls mitigatian berm vvas required to be landscaped. An EnWiranmental Irnpact Report has been campleted by Stewart Environrreenta! Consultants, Inc., and has been attached for reference. The repart states that while the proposed development of Lat 1 will have an impact orr plant and animaE communities presently inhabiting the property, #he loss of the 6.5 acres daes not represent a significant irnpact to the local plant and animal communities. The report recamrraends that all trash dumpsters shalf be mad2 bear-proof and exterior lighting shall be minimized. Bath of these must be a cnndition of approval. The report additionally states that the impact to Middle Creek cauld include runoff frpm paved parking areas. A drainage study has also been included. F. Campliance with the Vail Comprehensive Ptan and ot'her applicable plans. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan contains goals which staff considers ta be applicable to this request. The applicable goals include: ~ ~ ~ 1.0 Genera!

The Comprehensive C?pen Lands Plan identifies the Mountain Bell Site as "appraximately half of the property is intended for affordable housing and the remarnder of the site will ~ rema;n capen space." The Cornprehensive Upen Lands Plan is intended ta identify and recammend actions for the protection of sensitive land and open space, not as a guide for develapment af other properties. The Tawn of Vail Land Use Plan provides a land use designat`ron for this site as High Densi#y Residential. The High Density Residential designation is described as fol6ows: 7`he hvusrng in ihis category wauld typiealIy consfst of rnulti-floored structures ' with densities exceeding 15 dwelling units per ,buildabJe acre. Other acfivifies in fhis categvey would include private recreational facilities, and private parking facilifies and rnstitutianal/ public uses such as churcfaes, fire stations and parks and apen space facilities. fo The Vail Land Use f'lan describes #he Mountain Bell site a$ Tract 35 and states: 18 ~ The ?Vlauntain Bell micrawave facrlity and two day eare centers are Incated on a 25 acre site awned .by the Town of Uaif which is narth of 1-70. A portiaR of this site under the mrcrawave facility is owraed by Mountarn Bell. F'art af the enfire site in located rn art area af inedium envfronmental haaards arrd should cQnfinue to remain in its presenr use, wiih possible expansiQns of the day car centers. !t may also be arr option for the cemetery, further drscussed later. X. REQUtFCED CRITERIA ANl3 FINDINGS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT In addition to the request for development plan approval as required by the Hausing zane district, the applicant is requesting a conditional use perrnit tor the relocation afi tfie Early Learning Center to the eastern portion of the site. Schools, including day cares, are a conditional use in the Housing zone district. According to Section 12-16-1, Vail Tawn Code: In order to prcrvide fhe flexr6ifity necessary to achieve the objectrves of this title, specified uses are ,oermitted in certain districfs su6ject to the granting of a conc!lfionaf use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, condrfional uses requrre review and evaluatian so that they may be located properly wrth respect to the purpvses of this titfe and wrth respect to their effecfs on surroundrrrg properties. The review pracess prescribed fn this chapfer is intended to assure campatibility and harmonious devefopment between cQnditional uses an,d surrounafing prvperfies and the fown at large. Uses listed as canditional uses in the various districts may be permrtted subfect to such • cranditions and limitations as the fown may prescribe to ensure that the location and operation of the ccrnditional uses wi11 be in accardance rvrth develapment objectives af fhe town arad will not be derrimental to other uses ar properfies. Where corrdirrorrs canno[ be devtsed to achreve fhese dbjectives, applrcations for conditional use permits shall be denred, A. CON5IDERATION OF FACTORS: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the develapment odjective$ of the 7own. The Vail Land Use PEan identifies the folCowing goals wi#h regards to community services: 6.0 Communriy Services E.1 Services shauld keep ,pace with increased growth. 6.2 The Town of Vail should play a roJe in future development throc?gh ,balancing growth with services, 6.3 Servlces shoufd be adjustecl to keep pace with the needs of peak perrods. ~ In adcfition, the Vai6 Land Use P{an states that fihis site is ta be used for the future expansion af the ABC and Learning Trees Schaals. 19 Staff believes that #his use is imporkant to the 7own of Vail and will have a positive impact an the Town. These schools provide a valuable service to ~ the members of the cammunity. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schaols, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. Staff believes that the reEocation and expansion of the Early Learning Center on this site is a benefit to the Town. According to the summary pravided by the applicant, the Early Learning Center will prowide early learning services for BQ preschool age children, with 12 to 15 full-time staff inembers, and 2part-time staff inernbers. The Early Leaming ' Center has appraximateiy 4,630 sq. ft. of floQr area, and includes a 4,103 sq. ft. autcioor play area. Staff believes that it is beneficiai tn have this use located an this site, which is centrally Poca#ed in the Tawn af Vaii. An important cansideratian in the reWiew of this conditianal use perrroit is the passibility for future expansian. Due to the amount and location af the parking, fhe proximity of the buw9ding to rts praperty line, and the amount and 9aeation o# play area, future expansian possibilities are limited. 3. Effec# upan traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety? and convenience, traffic flow and . cantrol, aceess, maneuverability, and r+emoval of snow from the ~ street and parking areas. The appfican,t has proposed 22 parking spaces far the Early Learning Center. Parking for uses no# specifically listed in Ghapter 12-1{}, VaiC Town Cade shall be determined by the Planning and Environmentaf Gommission. A memo has been attached fram the applicant which explores the parking requirements of other carnmunities. The municipalities of Baulder, Denver, and Lakevwood, these municipalities would require 18 spaces. In additian, staff has reuiewed parking requirements as outlined in "Off-Street Parking Requirements" Planning Advisory Service Report Number 432. Some of the dample parking requirements noted in this report include the tflllowing: Aurora, CO - two spaces far each three teachers and ane off-s#reet passenger loading place for every eight pupils. With the proposed Early Learning Center, Aurora would require 18 spaces. Orange County, CA - one space per staff rnember, and one space per fave students. With the praposed Early Learning Center, Qrange County would require 27 spaces. The Public Works Qepartment has dane traffic counts at the Earfy Learning Center and has found that at #imes there are more than 25 cars at the existing facility to drop off children. The Planning and Environrnental Commission sets the parking requirement for uses nat ~ listed in Chapter 12-10 of the Town Gode, 20 ~ ~ Some communities have extensive requirements regarding access and i parking. Specifically, St. Louis Gounty, MQ, requires the following: ~ Two spaces, plus one space for every employee on the maximum shift; a paved unQbstructed pick-up space wifh adequate stacking area (as deterrnined by the Department of Planning) shall be provided in addition to stand'ard driveway and parkirrg requiremenfs, or one space for every six children; a safe pedestrr`an walkvvay system (as approved by the Department of Plarrning) through parking areas td the buildrng enfrance, wirh a ~ safety zone a mirrrmum of 15 feet iR width Iaetween parking spaces and the front of the buildrng entrance, shafl be provided in ; addrtrarr to starrdards driveway and parking requirements. The applicant has pravided area for snauv storage which meets the Town regulations, which state ihat an area equaling 30°!0 of the paved area be provided for snow storage. Staff believes that the prouision of the 5"live° parking spaces at the entrance to the Early Learning Genter will improve both aehicular and pedestrian circulation into the iEarly Leaming Center. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be 14cated, including the scale and bulk of the propased use in ~ relatian to surrounding uses. Staff believes that the use is apprppriate for the character of the surraunding area. The maximum height of the Early Learning Center ss at 26 ft. The building is 2-story building, which staff believes is appropriate given the heights and mass of the adjacent emplayee housing. The proposed Early Learning Center is located 20 ft, from the side properky line, and 18 ft. from the front property line. While the Housing ~ zone district allows deviations from the 20 ft. setback, subjec# to review by i the Planning and Environrnental Commission, staff has cancerns regarding the abi[ity ta buffer the building and the pfay area with adequate lanc7scaping_ This buffering is irraportan# when considering the noise level from I-70. Ti he Vail Mountain Schcol has recently ins#afied an air- conditioning system because the windows of the classraams cannQt be open during cfass because of naise issues. Staff recommends that a landseaping and sound berm, which will include large trees, be incEucEed in the [andscaping plan far the Eariy Learning Center. Because the play area is located up to the praperky line, there is limited raom for landscaping on the applicant's praperty. As proposed, landscaping is lacated an the CaOT right-af-way. CDOT allows trees that are 4"+ in caliper ta be planted within their right-of-wa, provided tha# no trees are ' planted wEthin 30 feet from the edge of the rQad. B. FINDINGS ~ The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the follawing finciings befare granting a conditionaf use permit: 21 1. That the proposed locati4n of the use is in accordance with the purposes ~ of the conditional use permit section of the zoning cade and the purposes of ihe district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location o# the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained uvould not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed uss would compBy with each of the applicab9e ' provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zaning code. , XI. MAJQR SUBDIVtSI+tJN i ~ A.

Section 13-3-4: Commissron Revrew of Application, Criteria, Vail Town Cade states: The burden of proof shall rest with the applicant to sftow that the . a,aplication is in cornpliance with the intent and purposes of this Chapter, the Zaning Ordinance and other pertinent regulations that the Alanning and Environmental Gommissian deems applicable. Due cansrderation shall be giyen tQ the recommendarions made by publrc agencies, utrlity companies and other agencies cansulted under subsection 13-3-3C above. The Planning and Envrranmental Commission sha!l review the applrcatiQn and consider ifs appropriateness in regard ta 7own policies relatrng fa subdivision contral, densi[res proposed, regulatrons, ora+inances arrd resolutiorrs arrd other applicable documents, enviranmental integrity and compatibrlity wr'fh the surraunding Iand uses and ofher applicable documents, effeeis an the aesthetrcs of the Tawn. 1. Subdivision Contro! There are three lots being platEed as part of this majar subdivision request: Lot Zonin Lat Size Buildable Area Fronta e Lot 1 Housing 6.673 ac. 4.573 ac. 1,145.75 ft. 290,678 s. ft. 199,200 s. ft. Lot 2 General Use 1.096 ac. Nai applicable Via 40 ft. 47,742 s . ft. easement Tract A Natural Area 17.226 ae. Nat applicable 1,545.02 ft. Preservation 750,365 s . ft. ~ Lot 1, Middie Creek Subdivision: 24 e ~ Lot 1 is zaned Housing zane district. According to Section 12-61-10: Other Development Sfar,dards, Vall TflWIl C4{IE: Prescribed By Planrring arrd Envirorrmental Comrrrrssfon: In fhe H Dr'strict, development standards rn each of the fallowrng categaries sha11 be as proposed by the app!lcani, as prescribed by the Plarrnrng and Envrrnnmental Commrssion, and as adopted vn the approved developmenf plan. A. Lot area and site drmensions. B. Building heighr. C. Denslfy contrcaJ (including gross residentral tldor area). 7herefore, the Planning and Environmen#al Commission shall prescribe the minimum lat size and frontage requirements. Staff believes that the lat size of 290,675.9 sq. ft. and the frantage af 1,145.75 ft. are appropriate #ar #his subdivision. !ot z, Middle Creek Subdivision Lot 2 will remain zoned C;eneral Use. According to Section 12-9G-5: Develapment Standards, Vail Town Code: ~ Prescrrbed By Planning And Environmental Gommission: In the General Use District, develapmerrt standards in each of the fodlowirrg categories shall be as prescribed by the Planning and Envrrorarxrental Commission: 1. Lat area and site d'imensions. 2. Setbacks. 3. Buifding height. 4. DenSify carrfrol. 5. Site coverage. 6. Landscaprng and site devefoprnenf. 7 Parking and loading. Therefore, the Pkanning and Environmental Commission shall prescribe the minimum Cot size and frantage requiremen#s. Staff belie+res that the . ia# size of 47,741.8 sq, fit, is appropriate for this subdivision. The frontage praposed far Lot 2 is via an existing platted access easernent, which is 40 ft. in width GeneraPly, the minimum frantage requirement within the Tawn of Vail varies from 30 ft. (residential zone districts) to 100 ft. (higher intensity c4mmerciaE zone districts). Staff believes that given the curren# access and use of the site, the 40 ft. access easement prouides acceptable access to the site. Staff belisues that the intent of the frantage requirernent has been met and no frontage requirement is necessary. The request to tabling the final plat deals primarily with platting the ~ apprapriate easement for this site. The existing access easement will need to be relocated once access #o the site is determined and the 25 r deve9opment plan for the site is approved. This will alEar+v the applicant to ~ formally plat the appropriate access easement to Lot 2, Tract A, Middie Creek Subdivision Tract A will remain zoned Natural Area Preservation C7istrict. There are no minimum lot size or frontage requirements in the Natural Area Preseruation Distric#. Staff believes that the configuration af Tract A is appropriate for this subdivision. 2. Densi#ies Propased The praposed Middle Creek develapment will be clustered on Lot 1, which is 6.7 acres. No additional development is proposed on Lot 2 ar Tract A at this #ime. Lat 1, Middle Creek Subdivision Lo# 1 is zoned Housing zone district, with a land use desfgnation of High Densi#y Residential, as approved in 2001 by the Planning and Enviror+mental Commission and Touvn Council. The density allawed in the Housing zane district is prescribed by the Planning and Enviranmental Cornmissifln. The applicant is currently proposing 142 dwelling units on Lot 1. This is approximately 31 dwelling units per buildable acre and 21 dwelling units per gross acre. For comparison, the density aliowed in ~ Lionshead Mixed Use 1 is 35 dwelling units per acre; and 25 dwe[ling units per bui9dable acre in the High Density Multiple Family zone district. The land use designatipn of High Density Residsntial s#ates that densaty in this designation wcruld exceed 15 units per buildable acre. Staff believes that this density is apprapriate far this subdivisEOn, provided that in the propossd development meets the requirernents af the Housing zone district. According to Section 12-6I-1: Purpose, Vail Town Code: T'he housrng district is intended to provide adequafe sites for employee housrng which, because of the nature arrd characteristics of ernployee hausing, cannat ,be adequately regulated by the develapment standards prescribed for other residentral zoning districts. !t is necessary in this disfrict to,prourde deuelopment standards specifically prescribed for each developmerrt proposal ar pro,rect to achieve fhe purposes prescrrbed ;rr sectian 12-1-2 of fhis title and to provide far the pubJic welfare. Certarrr nonresidential uses are alfowed as conditinnal uses, which are intended to be rncidental and seeondary to the residential uses af the districf.

Qrdinances, resalutions and ather apRlicable documents The Uail Tawn Code and the Vail Land Use Plan are the applicabae documents for review of this proposal. The issues relating to the Vail Town Code have been addressed previously in this memarandum. The Vail Land Use Plan contains gaals which staff considers to be applicable to the major subdivision request. The apPlicable goals include. ~ 7.0 General Grawtlh/flevelopment 1.1 Uaif should continue to grow in a controfled environment, 27 maintarning a balarace between resrdential, commercial and ~ recreational uses to serve bo#h the visitQr arrd fhe permanent resident. 1.2 The quality af fhe environmerrt incfuding air, water and ofher rratural resaurces shvuld be pratected as the TQwn grows. 1.3 The quality af develapmerrt should be maintarned and upgraded whenever possi6le. 1.6 Deueloprnent proposals on the hiilsides should 6e evafuated on a case by casE basis. Limifed developmenf may be permitted far sorne low intensity uses in areas thaf are nof hrghly visible fram the Valley fJoor. New prajects should be carefuNy controlled and develaped wrih sensitivity tQ the environment. 1.7 New subdivisions should nof be permitted in high geologic hazard areas. 1, 12 Vaif shouCd accornmQdate most of the additianal grQwth in existrng developed areas (infill areas). 5.0 Resldential 5.1 Addrtional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in ~ exrsting, pfatted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exast. 5.3 Affordable employee housfng shduld ,be ,made availabfe thraugh private eh`Qrts, asslsted by limited fncentrves, provided by the Town of Vail wlth appropriafe restrfctivns. 5.4 Residential growfh shvuld keep pace wrth fhe marketplace demands far a fu!l range of housing types. 5. Environmentallnteqritv According to the Town of Vail hazard rnaps, Middle Creek Subdivision is Iocated within a Mediurn Severity Rockfall hazard and Moderate Hazard DebrEs Flow. A sEte-specific study has been completed by R.J. lrish, dated August 16, 2001, and is attached for reference. The report acknowledges that the risk of debris ffaw from the Middle Greek Valley to be high during the iifetime of the project, with a volume described as "small ta quite large." The report indicates that the entire site is Iocated within a high hazard debris flow area. The report also suggests that the risk coufd be minimized by mitigation measures. The report also acknowledges that the risk of rackfall is medium during the fifetime of the project. NlitigatiQn recommended by the report includes dislodging exposed baulders by hand prior to canstruction. It further sta3es that any boulders would iikely be trapped in the channel of the creek. The hazard reports have been inclucfed for reference. Staff cantinues ta have cancerns regarding the hazards on the site. ~ The study indicates that the entire site is located withirr ahigh debris flow area. 28 ~ Staff believes that prior to the finai platting of the site, the mitigation of this debris ffow should be further examined. As prohibited by Chapter 12-21 of the Tawn Cvde, no developmerrt will be permitted on slapes greater than 40%. The lots have been configured #o minimize the area of 40% slopes on Lot 1. An Environmentai Impact Report has been completed by Stewarl Environmental Cansultants, Inc., and has been attached for reference. The report states that while the proposed develQpment of Lot 1 wi[I have an impact on plant and animal communities presently inhabfting the property, the loss af the 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to plant and animal communities. The repart recommends that a!i trash durnpsters need to be made bear-proof and exteriar fighting will need to be minimized. The report additionalay states that the impact to Middle Creek could include runoff from paved parking areas. A drainage study has also been, included. The drainage report has been cQenpleted by Peak Civil Engineering, lnc.} which as attached reference. The drainage study states that runaff from the praposed development will follow existing da'ainage patterns. A traffic study has been attached for review. The study states that the traffic generated by the praposal will be fess than most apartrnent camplexes of comparable size, due to th,e proximity to ather modes af transportation. ~ 6. Compatibilitv with Su,rrourtdinct Land Uses Adjacent land uses to the en#ire Middle Creefc 5uladivision include the folkowing: Solar Vail - a muftiple-family housing project currently zQned High Densityr Multipfe Family, Tract C, Vail Potato Patch - an open space tract currently zaned Natural Area Preserwation District.

I I ~ 2 I I ~ ~ Middle Creek Affordable Housing Development S u M MARY: ~ i i The Middle Creek Affordable Hausing Develapment seeks to establish affordable ~ employee housing for the residents of Vail. lt wiil provida 142 units of affordable housing, a community center, and an early learning center on a 6.673 acre site. The site is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell building, between the Vail ~ Village roundabaut and the Lionshead pedestrian bridge. The proximity to the center of tawn preserats the possibility of a transit-oriented development, reducing the use of the automobile in favor of pedestrian and bus traffic. The develapment does pravide 248 parking spaces meeting the Towrt of Vail standards. The Middle Creek deue[opment contains 3 residential buildings (A, B, and C), and the early learning center. Building A is situa#ed on the bus pull-out and ~ houses community cenfer tunctions as well as living units. Building B and C are clustered to preserve mpen space. The buildings step up the slope from south to north respflnding to existing grades; inspired by Eurapean hifl town massing. All building heights respect the existing Mountain Bell tower, reinfarcing its image. Building C includ'es covered, structured parking far 211 autamobiles, significantly reducing the need far surface asphal# on the site. The density is 21.3 dwelking units/acre, and over 60% Qf the site is open space (both natural and landscaped). PROGRAM: The 142 -units of affordable housing are divided into four separate unit types; studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. The majority of the units are three bedroom ar studio units, Sorne unit types inctirporate variations, providing a wide range ofi unit choices to accommodate many types of Ifvin+g situations. Building A contains the cornmunity center Qn the ground level with studio units ~ above. The community center will contain a leasing office, laundry facilities, At#achment: F C . ; ~ resident's launge, mailboxes, etc. There will be a Tawn of Vail bus s#op directly ! ~ in front of this buildsng. The composition of building A with the bus stop will ~ establish this as the entry into #he Middle Creek development. The new early learning center wiil replace the existing ABCILearning Tree Child Gare Center on the site. It will serue up ta 60 children and 12-15 staff with a ; gross area of approxirnateiy 4,800 square feet. The early learning center ~ contains five classrooms, a stucCeo, a kitchen and an outdoar play area. SITE: The Mountain BeII site is arranged arpund four axes, v+rhich create distinct view corridors and organize the site as a whole. Two of these axes direct the eye to the existing Mountain Bell tower, reinforcing this significant piece of the Tawn of Vail's architectura9 heritage. The west partion of #he site preserves #he existing mature vegetation and makes use of a par#ion of the existing roadway to the ~ Mountain BefE tower. The existing natural landscape will be an effective screen from the west and help nestle the new eanstruction into the site. ; The buildings are clustered around the base of the Mountairu Bell Tawer thereby minirnizing surface asphalt and creating efficient pedestrian circulation. There is significant open space and separation between the clustered resicfential buildings and the ear9y Eeaming center ta the east. This open space corridor pravides a strang connection to fhe existing natural areas to the north. The site organiza#ion of the development rnaximizes open space by clustering buildings, effectively reducing the wisual density of the praject. The bus stop is placed just inside the main entrance of the development, aflowing easy and safe transi# access and minimizing curb cuts. The early learning center, near the eastern edge of the deve3apment, has both privacy and a direct connection ta the ~ surrounding apen space. The buildings step down to the south and east reflecting the slope of adjacen# ~ grade. Pedestrian circulation is well defined by walks and patterned pavirag ; ~ connecting residential buildings fo a confinuous bike pa#h alang fhe south edge of the parcel. PHASING PLANS; There are no anticipated phasing plans in pface at this time. However, in an effort to begin site work in the fal] of 2002, the developer may seek a site work permit after all appropriate approwals have been receiveci, REVIEW CRITERfA FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN lN THE H ZONE DISTRICT; A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientatian is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighboncood. ~ This development respects and incorpnrates the existing architecture of the town of Uail. The character and scale of the buildings reflects the existing "Eurapean ~ mountain village" feel of the town. The NBauntain Bell building, a significant Vail architecturaE kandmark, maintains its status as a cenferpiece of the development. The orientation of the buildings provides solar access and creates south-facing 4pen spaces.. The clustering of buildings rninimizes the visual density of the deuelopment. B. Buildings, impravements, uses and activities are designed and located ta produce a functianal deveiopment plarr respansive to the site, the surraunding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. ~ I ~ ~ This development provides needed housing for the working population of VaiL ~ Within the development, units are pravided for individual workers as wefl as I ~ wor9cing famifies. The Mountain Bell Site wifl be a xcansit-oriented development, reducing automobiie usage in favor of bus and pedestrian traffic. The density of the buiielings allows more room fvr open spaces and natural areas. The development plan successfully introduces a large amount of housing while remaining sensitive to the praminent nature of this site. C. Open space and landscaping are bath functional ancf aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximrze opportunitias for aCCeSS and use by the public, prouide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space ancf recreation areas. The clusfiering of the buildings an the site reduces the visual impact. The spaces araund the buildings themselves are pedestriara pfazas where residents can interact. Between the residential and early Iearning areas af the development, a ~ landscaped area pravides a separatROn and a natural area of open space. A bicycle and pedestrian path wi[I connec# the develapment to the pedestrian bridge to the west. A structured autdoor recreatian area has been integrated into the si#e using berming and fandscaped features. Natural trails provide connections within the site and to the surraunding open space. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to pravide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulatian ta the site and throughout th+e development. A central spine of vehicular circulatian alfows efficient aceess and takes advantage of the el4ngated east-west axis of the site, creating a maximum 5°/Q grade. T'here is parking under or near each building. The entire site is served by a Town of Vail bus stop and a bicycle/pedestrian path which will ultimately connect ta the pedestrian bridge, reducing the need for cars overaCl. Pedestrian ~ circulation within the site takes place along a corridor which follows the centrai ~ spine yet remains separate fram vehicular traffic. E. EnWironmental impacfs resuiting from the proposal have been identified in the projects environmental impact repart, if not ?nraived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the propQSed development plan. Yes, these impacts have been identified in the environmental impact repart, and will be implemented as a part of the praposed deveCopment plan. A prefimanary mitigatian plan has been subrnitted to the PEC, and a mitigation specialis# has been retained to finafize the canstruction plans. ~ I ~ y ~ Early Learning Cerater at Middle Creek Affardable Housing ~ I The Early Learning Cenfer replaces the ABC-Learning Tr+ee Child Care center currently on the MQUntain Bell site. The new building wi[I house 5 classTOOms, a studio area, kitchen, administrative and autdoar play areas. it will accommodate 12-15 staff members and serve up ta 60 children from the ages af 2 ta 5-1f2 in a caring and educational enuironment. The nature of the proposed use is f€arther described in the summary program proUided. RELAT]ONSHIP TQ DEVELOFMENT OBJECTIVES: The Early Learning Center replaces an already existing childcare center on the Mauntain Bell site. There shauld be no additional impact on the Tawn of Vail Development Objectives. ~ EFFECT ON PUBLIC FACILITIES AND AREAS: As the proposed Early Learning Center replaces a use which aIready exists on the Mountain 8e11 Site, it shauld have no additional measurable effects on public facifities areas. ~ EFFECT 'IJPON TRAFFiC: This informafion is listed in the provided traffic study. COMPATlBIL1TY lSSUES: Considerable measures will be taken to separafie the busy activities af the housing development from the quieter actirrities of the early tearning center. The ~ Early Learning Center is an the East end of the site, separated from all of the ~ livirrg units. There is a separate entrance from North Fron#age Road providing ~ access to 22 parking spaces dedicated to the Early Learning Genter #acility. A turnaround pravides easy drop off for patrons and provides the required maneuvering space for emergency vehicPes. Because of its posi#ian on the eastern end of the site, the ELC has access to the open space surrounding the MaUntain Bell site as well. In addition, the adjacency of the hausing anci childcare uses provides residents of the development with the opportunity to fulfill their child-care needs on-site, enhancing the nature af this transit-oriented development. CHARAGTER: The character of the Early Learning Center snould benefit the surrounding area. The siting of the new ELC near Frontage Road wil[ allow it to take on a new visibility, separate fram the Middle Creek development itself and the Mountain Bell building. It will become a beacan in the cammunity as a cen#er of (earning ~ and a place fQr young children. ~ 1 G Y yi`i!S 1ENY 115++.1NMEN TAL l. V I YJ V L 1U V TJ, !NC.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTIOM ~ 5i#e Concept The initial conceptual design appraach for Midd[e Creek Vllage housing is meant to reflect a neuv model of multi famiEy housing in mauntain communities. The site parameters and com6nuni#y cantext v+rere the prime mativatQrs for the layout of the buifdings and parfcing; however, the solution incorporates some planning princaples of a more uur6an" nature. The buildings are arranged around a pedestrian oriented "street" which creates an axis running eas# to west across the site. The "street" rises to the center of the praleet, following the contours of the sife. Entries into individual units as well as praject amenities will occur along the path, and it is enWisioned to include bath hardscape ar?d Iandscape areas. The pedestrian street will be an active place reminiscent of other vif'age centers in the cammunity. Encvuraging the use of alternate transportation, our team proposes to work wi#h the Colorado Department of Transportatfon and the Tgwn of Vail to create aproject specsfic transi# stop, as well as deveiap pedestrian and bicycle access from the site Fnto town. These are accessible to the residences along a central pedestrian spine #hat runs down the nill and through a two-story opening in the center building, ending at the praposed transit stap. Given that a large segment of the market far thFS project will be seasonal emplayees, our team beli~ves the daily use of the automobile can be minimal. Gansequently, the relatianship between the car and the building is downplayed in aur solution. Sepaeating vehicle parking from the buildings alfows the project to create a pedestrian ariented ~ "villagen character and allows #he lauifdings to be sited closer together, thus visually reinforcing this image. This is similar to the e7cteriar pedestrian spaces created by the architecture at areas such as Beidge Street in Vail Village and Lionshead Village. The siting of the parking areas behind the buiidings will also help shield views of the lots from the frontage road and fFOm aerass the Walley. ~ The Early Learning Centar has been sated to the far eastern edge of the site, but is easily accessable firom the residences on the Eoop road. This configuration pravides a nGCely separated site for the chifdren's facility. I The oWerall site concept adheres cfaseiy to the ex'rsting contovrs of the site. The buildings rise and falC across the length of the site witn the terrain, creating an undulating profile that further reinforces the "village" concept. Build.ing Concept Further reinfarcing the "village" cancept, #he buildings are designed as three separate building types. All the buildrngs will be ane unit deep, creating cross flow ventilation and ecanomy of cons#ruction. There are na enclosed walkways or stair tnwers, as the sF#e aliov?rs the majority of units to be accessed at grade. Internal floor p[ans wilC develop stacked plumarng cores, and the mix of units wilf be designed to minimize structural offsets and maximize construction simplicity. Each of the six residen#ial buildings includes a one-story element on the end v+rhich houses laundry and storage facilities for that bUilding. The buiiding orientation creates maximum ~ 2850-001 EnvirQnmental ImpaGt Repork Page 2 of 14 Middle Creek 1/illage Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Cansultanfs, lnc. I ~ ~ southern exposure far everv unit. The fact that the buildings are simply one unit deepcreates excellent appartunities fior flow-through ventilation. Our proposal will incorporate highly efficient mechanical and efectrical designs. VVe believe on a scale of zero to five our development will achieve a five, or the highest efficieney rating available. Since all units are accessed from grade or a small stair, there are no interior corridors to heat or cool, further enhancing overall energy efficiency. Please refer io our preliminary LEED evaiuatian in Sec#ian VI-J for additianaf information on energy and sustainability_ The overall character of the building design is meant to reinforce the "village" concept, with varying building types, massing, and styles crea#ing a cahesive whole. Stylistically, we will incarporate the tradition of Vail Valley architecture while rnaintairiing an economical design. This can be achieved by the judicious use of distinct design elements throughout #he project. {n a cost sensitive project, forms may be simple, but the sensitive use of massing, scale, and rhythm can create an architecture that is respectful of, and complimentary to, #he surraunding architecture of 1Iai1 Ualley. The exciting architectural design and pedestrian s#reet space will create a of chaice for potential employees. IV. SITE DESGRIPTION ANa ENVIROh1MEiVTAL INVENTORY Locatian The subjec# praperty is an irregular shaped, approximate 6.5-acre mountainside site; its location ~ is described as a part of the South 1/2 of the 5outheas# of Section fi, 7ownship 5 South, Range 80 West of the 6'h PNI, Town of Vari, Eag1e County, Colorado. Yhe property adjoins the extsting Mountain Bell praperty loca#ed north of the 1-70 North Frontage Road. Zaninq A majority of the subject si#e is presently zorred "NAPD" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where twn early learning centers are locaked is zoned °G" (General)_ The praposed prvject will require rezaning the 6.5-acre site to the designation "H" (Housing).. Si#e Usage The property is owned by the Town of Vail. Onsite deveiopment includes two small wooden structures presently housing earfy childhaod learning centers. They are located directly east of the offsite Mountain Bell structure. Site development plans calf for demafition of the two eariy childhood learning facility structures wi#h cflnstructian of a rtew iearning center at the southeast portion of the site- The remainder of the site is undeveloped open Iand except for the existing road and parking area that serves the off-site Mountain Bell facility and the onsiteearly fearning facilities_ The proposed use of the property was deseribed in Section I, abave.

Regarding plant communities, the site is descrabed as camplex as it contains elements of several communities. These include Mantane Grasslands and Mixed Moun#ain Shrubfand located on the eastern parkion of the mauntainside with Aspen stands occurring at the southeastern portion of the site. These communities include representatives of mvst of the life forms of the plant kingdom including ferns, grasses, forbes, shrubs, and trees. Native and non-native vegetation is present 'tncluding invasi+re species of noxious weeds. The western area of the praperty is mainly Mantane Riparian Forest dominated by Narraw-leaf Co#tonwaods (Populus angustafolia) and a sca#ering of Thin-leaf Alder (Alnus incana) and Aspen (Populus tremuloides). Presence of Aspen as well as species of invasive weedy farbes indicate the IikeliFaood of past cEisturbance such as fire. CEimax community species such as Colorada Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) are located off site higher up the Middle Creek cfrainage, but Blue Spruce and ofher eiimax community trees were not abserved on si#e. ~ Wifdlife uses the site; large mammals including deer and eIK browse on #he Serviceberry and Current lacafed in the Mixed hllountain Shrubland Communrty. Other mammals incEuding Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden-mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, ancf other rodent species IiKely feed ancflor inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species of Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No majar wi[dlife migra#ory routes appear to be located on site. Although Middl€ Greek is Iocated off site directly west of #he praperty's western boundary, the creek is not likefy used as a migratory cqrridvr. inferstate70 and development adjoining the south side of I-70 preciude use of the carridor far migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert frorn ths north side of I-70 to its confluence with Gare Creek svuth of I-70. No knovun ihreatened or endangered species of plants or anirnals have been identafed at the site. However, na anSite surveys for such species are known to have been performed. The Colorado 1Vatural Heritage Program's Conservation Sfatus Handbook (7999) list5 the status of various anirnals, plants, and plant communit'res found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle Caunty lis# is provicled in Appendix A. We recomrnend hav'rng the Calorado IVatural Heritage Program perform a G1S "Enviranmental Re+rGewn of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecoaogical infarmatian regarding the status of plants, plant cornmunities, and anirnals within aspecified radius of the subject propErty. The review will repart the status of these communities. Middle Creek, a relatively prastine stream that likely cantains Native Cutthraat Trout, traverses the adjacent properky to the west of the subject site. The creek flows out of a saddle located to ~ 2850-001 EnvirQnmentaf Impact Repart Page 4 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Coloradv SPewar# Envirnnmenta! Gonsultants, lnc. ~ the north upsEope from the site. kt flows southerly down sfope, }ogs west arounti the Mountain Bel] building, and then flows southerly for approximately 150 feet paral{eling the west $icCe of the entry raad ta Mountain Bell. It enters a culvert beneath I-70 and the associated frantage roads and flows through the culvert south of I-70 to its discharge point into Gore Creek south of the interstate. Gore Creek f1Qws westerEy ta its confluenee with the Eagle River near Mintum. The existing creek channel may not be the historic creek channel. Strearn rnoaifica#ian (channefization) appears to have been conducted upstream of the culvert adjacent to the entry road. This 150-foeat reach is Gkeiy the closest Iocation of the stream to the subject praperty, The stream bank, as well as its associated vegetatian, appears disturbed afong this reach. Observed vegetation was rnainly upland in rrature wifh both native (Westem wheat gra5s- Agropyron sp.) and non-native species of grasses (brome-Bromus enurmus), as well as invasive n4xious weeds (See Figure 4 photographs, page 2). Upstream fram this reach and otfi s'ste from the subject property, a riparian corridor of wetland vegetatian adjoins the stream channel. Adjoining the east side of the entry road, adjacent to its 150-fioot narthlsouth orientation, is a Narrow-leaf Cottanwood (Populus angu.stifolia) community. This species is referenced in the U.S. Department of the interior, Fish and Wildlife Service publication, IVational List of Plant Species That Occur Irr Wetlarrrls,• Inferrnauntar`n (Region 8). lts indicator category is listed as ; "Facultative", which is described as "Equally likely to occur in wetlands or nanwetlands ! {estimated probability 34°fo-66%}. 7he presence of this communi#y may be dus to a former j focation of the stream channel or may be dus to high graundwater conditions existing near the stream channel. ~ The Rlarraw-leaf Coftonwoad C4mmunity continues to the north (off site) and south (on site) of the en#ry road after the road tums east. Figure 4 Photographs, page 2, depicts the entry road a9ong its easUwest orientation v,rith the Narro+nr-Ieaf Gottonwoocf Community adjoining both sides of the road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the patentiaC existence o# wetlands; it daes not necessarily confirm their presence.

Potential irnpacts include greaselvil runaff from paued parking areas and sandlgraaei runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressecf. The piles will be located such that snowrnelt containing grease, ail, silt, sand, and gravei da not impact Middie and Gore Creeks. Any such cantaminants disc'harged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek end potential1y impact the fsheries of both MiddCe and Gvre Greeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dike5, etc. will be incarporated irtto the praject design to prevent urnpact to Middle Greek. ConstructFQn will be in accordance with all applicable Iocal, ~ state, and federal regulations and standards. lf dewatening is required during canstruction, water will be retained on site. As previously referenced, drainage issues are adckressed in a report aander separate coWer. Montane Environmental Solutions is performing a wetland assessment. As previousiy ~ referenced, a potantial exis#s for the existence of jurisdectional wetlands in the uicinity of the Narrow-leaf Gottonwoad Forest lacated adjacent to #he existing access road. The presenCe of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; i# daes not necessareiy confirm their presence. We recammend perfarming a wetland assessment conforming to US Army Corps of Engineers (The Carps) guide[ines.

Howeuer, existing vegetation ancf wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the narth, east and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitak and wildlofe species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact ta the plant and animal cammunities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabi# nearby similar habitat_ 8. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent properky by wijdlife, particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may inflUence ad}oining habi#at use. Adjoining property is prirrate so that residents of the Village should not be using adjoining properties. Humanfbear interac#ion is possible. All trash durr7psters will need to be Govered and otherwis€: made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform ta the Town of Vail building cade will be incorporated into the site design. 9. Impact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minirnized. Potential impacts inc[ude ; geeaseloil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff fram winter sanding of ' roads_ The location cat accumulated snow piles resulting fram plowing virill be add6essed. The pileS will be lacated such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, antl gravel do not impact Middle anci Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Midclle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and poterrtially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks_ Engineered drainage swales, berrns, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the projeet design to prevent irnpaci to Middle Creek. Canstruction wili be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. ~ If dewatering is required during consfructian, water wiil be retained orr site. 10. A parking facility is proposed a# a lacation just east of #he IVaountain SeN s#ructure. Micldle Creek lies norkh and west of this area. Irnpacts to the riparian carric#or and wifdfife using the carridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by canstructing the parking area as far as possible fram Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. ' Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. wiil be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. . ~ 11. Twcs displacemen#s wikl resu{t fram implementation of the propased project. The ABC and the Leaming Tree early chiltfnaod leaming centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be tfemolished anct new facilities will be cans#ructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regu[atians require a fulf National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the bui6dings prior to demalition. ff the inspectirn identifies asbestos-cantaining materials, mitigation (abaterrienUremoval) per regu[atians will be performed prior to demalition of the buildings. ~ 2850-001 Environmental Impact Repart Page 13 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Calorada 5tewart EnvrroRmental Consultanfs, Inc. viii.

Odell, :4t yau request Montane Environmentai Solutions Ltd (Montane) visited the proposed affordable housing development located at the `Niountain Bell site', on . August 23r'd, 20oi. The gurpose of the rrisit was to review an area identified in the draft Entiironmental Impact Report (EIR) as a narrowleaf cottonwood community with a potential for containing wetlands. ~ It was aur finding that although nQt extensive, there w°ere some areas of the woodland that did have the potential for bein~ ~wretland,s. Ta identify wetland areas areas, we propose ta conduct a jurisdicrianal wetlancis delineation in a £ormat aceeptable ta the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Fram our visit yesterday it appeared that jurisdictional wetland areas (areas under the jurisdiction o£ the L?S Army Corps of Engineers) are probably rather ` limited and tivould therefore be likely to fall inta the `Natianwide Permit' category of federal permitting. The Nationwide Permit system is a streamlined permit , system for small impacts, not considered to be of significant environmental imgact. Do not hesitate to cail if you have any more questions.

Because Middle Creek appears to have been rechanneled to its eurrent location, it is possible that grQUnd water could be encountered in isolated underground channels throughaut the groposed cleveloprnent. Refer to the C-'xROLTND VVATER section of this report far additional details. 3. Tsvo buildinas with associated amenities and utilities are currently located on the subject site. All existing foundations, slabs-on-grade, utilities and associated fill should be removed to exp4se the natural soils prior to constructian af the proposed development. 4. Based on our site reconnaissance, we anticipate that existing fill will be encountered durzng construction of the subject project, We belieue ihat the existing £ill will be clzaracterizad by sanci and gravel with cobbles and baulders. In our apinion, the existing fill, free of deleterious inaterial, may be used as sfructural fitl for the development Qf the project. 5. In our opinian, the propQSed buildings within the development may be supported by spread foQting foundation systems bearing an the natui•al sand and gravei soils. Hotivever, because these soils are alluvial soils, differential settlernents are possible. Refer to the FflUNIDATIORi sectian ~ of this report for mare infonnation. 6.

In our Qpinion, the existing fill will not safely support foundations for structures bV1th1I1 the proposed development, Therefore, alI existing foundations and associaEed fill must be removed frQm the propQSed development pnor to eonstzuctiean. We belieae that the anticipated sand and gravel will safely support spread fQotings for the proposed builc3ings within the developznent. However, because tlie anticipated natural soils are alluvial soils it is possible that loose, silty sanci pockets or layers could be encountered beneath the proposed development. Foundations constructed on these types of soils can experience Iarge differential settlements. Provided that no Ioase sand ~ pockets or layers are encountez-ed beneaEh the proposed faundations, it is our opinion that the anticipated sand and graveI tivill safely support spread footings for the proposed buildings within the development. We anticipate that spread fQating foundation systems for the huildings within the proposed clevelopment may be desioned with a maximum allowable bearing pressure varying from 2,540 psf ta 6,000 psf. The allotivable bearing gressure will depend on the amount of cobbles and boulders within the building enyelope. The maximum allowable bearing pressure can be better de~'ined during the site speci#'ic investigatians. ~ , 8 August 23, ZOQI ftOEC}ILE'I:V CdNSL'LTINGE:YG1;1'EE3tS, INC.

The presencE of loose, siity sand poekets or layers wzll have less oF acl impact on slab-on-grade floors, However, if these pockets ar layers are eneountered, they shoulcfi be reinoved and replaced with properly moisture conditioned and Gompacted fill. UTILITY CONSTRUCTI0N ~ Construction of utilitzes below grade will require Ehe excauation of the near surface soils. We anticipate these soils tivill consist of topsoil or existing fill underlain by sand and gravet with cobbles and bouldet•s. Because cobbles and bflulders are anticipated, it is our opinian that heavy-duty construction equipinent witl be required ta complete the necessary excavatzans for utilities, Sand and gravel soils without ground water classify as Type I3 soils in accordance with OSHA regulations.

We can provide the design, or the geatechnical desigzi criteria, for the retaining walls once the specific site conciztions and proposed cQnstruction are finalazed. SITE DFtAINAGE Surfare drainage should be carefully evaluated during design and constructian.of the develogment. Overall drainage of the szte is generally dotiWn to the south. Construction areas should be carefully sloped to reduce the possibility of infaltzation of ~ surface water into the cut and fill slopes.

Geologie Hazard Study, Middle Creek Village at Vail Development, Vail, Colorado. Jab No. 564 Gentlemen: In respanse to your call, we have geologlca[ly reconnoitered the site in Vail, Colorada, planned for the Middle CreeK Village at Vail Uevelopment, which is to incorparate affordable, multi-family housing and appurtenant faciiities an about 8 acres. This iTregularly shaped tract is located in a part of the S1E2 SE114 Sec. 6, T. 5. S., R. 80 W., Eagle Caunty, Colarado, north of the norkh service road immediately west of the Old Vailllnterstate Highway I-70 exit, and adjacent to an existing Mauntain Sell #elephone tower (Fig. 1), ft lies at the foot af the narthern slope of the west-#rending Gore Creek ValSey where thak slope is brsached by a canyon section of the Middle Creek Valley. The ground surEace across the property slopes generally southward ~ at about 10:1 (hariz. to vert.) #rom Elev. 8290 #eet ta Elev. 8220 feet. The western tvu'o-thirds of the property is forested with aspen and scattered evergreens. Some of the latter are quite large. The eastern third of this tract is covered by sagebrush and okherbrush types. Qur objective has been two-€ald; 1.) to generally deiineake geologic conditions across the property and irnmediate vicinity, and to eval+aate the probable influences those conditions w+ll have on the planned construct'son, with special reference to gealogic hazards, such as landslides, debris flows, and rock falls, that cauld impede #he development of the property; and, 2.) conversely, to assess the probable impact of the planned constevctian on the natural geolvgic conditions. An anciilary goai has been ta suggest means to ameliorate the risk pased by any geologic hazards that may be discavered. During the course of aur worft we haue stereoscapically examined aerial photographs of the praperty and vicinity, and have gealogically reconnoitered the site and viciniky (on August 15, ~ 2001). Our interpretations of gealogic conditians across the site and vicinity are illustrated by a ! geologic map, Figura 1 (attached). 1/Ve conclude that the tract to be accupied by the Middle Creek Village at VeiC C}evelopment is subject to debris flows periodically emanating #r4m the vaEley of Mitl Creek, as well as rack falls frarn the lower part of the adjacen# sector of the steeply inclined, nor#hern siope af the Eagle Creek Valley. VVe assess filne debris f4aw risk to be high, and the rock fall Yrazard to be medium, The former risk, we beiieve, could be substantially reduced ane or more of several azternative mitigating measures. These could be selected and designed when #he final plans for the pro~ect are developed. The latter risk could be reducEd materiakiy by hand-disladging boulders, allowing them to roll down the hill and or?to the floor of the debris fan before buildings are constructed on #his site. Cqnsul;ant la Designers, Contractors, Planners - R. J. Irish Consuiting Engineering ~ Geologist, Inc. 5ite Geologic Canditrons The Gore Creek Valley has been eroded inta the interbedded sandstones, SIltStoffe5, shales and fimestones of the Pennsy6vanian-age (abaut 325 to 286 million years aga) Minturn Formation by both strearns and glaciers. Glaciers repeatedly occupied the aalley of Gore Creek during the Ice Frge, which began about 2 million years aga, and terminated only about 8,000 years aga in this part of the Rocky fUlountains. The glaciers deposifed marainal sails across the lawer slopes of the valley and both glacial outwash and moraina] soils acrass the valley floor, aggrading it by as much as 100 feet or more. The upper reach of the Mill Creek Valley was occupsed repeatedly by glaciers also, as evidenced my multiple cirques aS the nead of the Vafley, and a U-shaped transverse topographic profile that extends down vafley to about the EIev. 9800-foat contour. That confiour crosses the flaor of the canyan about 2 miles upstream from the junction of thaf va4ley with the Gore Creek Valley. The morainal soils generafly are arr heterageneous, medium dense to dense, mixture of sands, gravels, cobbles, and scafikered boulde6s in a silt mafrix. Mostly the soils are granitic rock debris, but incCude sandstone, siltstone, and lionestone debris as well. The permeability of tlais soil typically is 1ow, on the order of 1 a"5 cm.fsec., but may include lenses of much more perrraeab9e sands and grave9s. The svils deposited by glacial meltwaters (#he glacial outwash deposits) typically are interbedded, medium dense to denss sands and sandy gravels that ~ commonly are cobbley and bouldery. These #ypical9y are quite permeable, an the order of !0'2 cm.lsec. t0 1 0`4" cm, sec. The morainaE s4ils blanlceting the toe of the northern slope of the Eagle Valley adjaGent to this property are estimated to range fram, about 5 feet tfl 20 feet thick. Since the end of the Ice Age, fast-morring floads charged with soil and rock debris (essentially mud fflaws) repeatedly have coursed down the Nlidd[e Creek Valley, and F?ave deposbted their bed lQads out across the flvflr of the Gore Creek Valley at the confluence of thflse valleys where the Middle Creek Village at Vail Project is to be si#ed. 7hose flows are referred to as debris flows. Moreaver, rnany "normal" floods have carried soil and rock debris out onto the floor of the Eagle Valley at this confluence, as wef1. In consequence, a de'brislalluuial fan has been canstructed at the mauth of the Mill Creek Val(ey. bt is abaut 2000 feet long along ifs tae, and about 1200 feet wide frorn its apex in a canyon section of that valley to its toe adjacent to Gore Creek. It is expeeted to be farmed of torrentially interbedded loase to dense, sands, gravels, cobbles and boulders in a silty matrix. The sails, granitic metamarphic rflck, sandstone, and siltstone debris, are expected to both averlie and interlense with the morainal, alluvial and glacial o;.itwash soils underlying the fifoor of the Gore Val1ey. These fan soils prabably range ta several tens of feet thick acrass the center of the fan. The permeability of these debris/alluvial fan so0s probably ranges widely, due to a widely ranging "fines" content, from an estimated 10-3 cm./sec, to 10`5 cm. sec. The ground water table in these soifs probab4e fies abaut 15 feet below the ground surFace at the southern edge of the property, but probabfy is much deeper in the head area of the fan. ~ The interbedded, fine grained and fine to caarse grained sandstones, siltstanes, shales and microcrystalline ta very fine grained iimestones of the Minturn Formation crop out sporadically across the foot of the northern slope of the Gore Creek Va[fey adjacent to, and within the 2 . R..1.IriSh Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. ~ carayon section of Mi11 Greek Val6ey. These are rela#ively well indurated, strong, hard rocks. Their unconfined carnpressive strengths, we estimate, range from abaut 10,000 psi to 15,000 psi for the sandstones and siltstanes, 25,000 psi to 30,000 psi for the limes#ones, and 5,000 psi to 8,400 psi for #he snales. Yhe shales are anly pooriy fissiie. These s€rata are thin to thick bedded, and their near-vertically dipping jaints typically are several feet to 10 feet apart. The beds strike narth-northwestward and dip abaut 251 WBSt-SOlftI1WeSt1NeCd, thus nearly parailef to the contours of the valley slope, rather than out of the slope. These rocks, including the sandstones, have very littfe, if any, intergranular permeabifity, but ground water undoubtedly flows along some of the joint planes. No faults ara known to us to disrcapt the bedrock strata underfying the project area, but ? severaf have been repor#ed in the vicinity. These are believed to he inactEVe. Assessment of Geologic Fiazards Debris flawage is the principal geofagic hazard atterrdant to the Middle Creek Viilage at Vail site. In fact, this site effectivefy spans the upper sector (i. e., uphill sector) of #he debris/alluvial fan, thus could be flQOded if a debris flow 4f "normal" flood should leap the banks of the channel of Middle Creek at the apex of the fan at the mouth of that valley. A debris fan is depasited by multiple debris flows, which are high-energy fEows of surface wa#er charged with soif and rock debris. The flow is debauched from a steep-floored ravine onto the floor of a main valley, where its bed laad is deposited to form part of a fan-shaped deposit, the debris fan. Typically a debris ~ f€aw 6s initiated by iocalized, high intensity rainfall that quickly washes ioose soif and rock from the catchment area of a ravine or canyan. This debris is carried esserltially as a mud slurry. Cornmonly the debris flows and the companion flood flows abandon the channel occupied by ~ the creek on a debrislalluvoal fian, spread caut across the fan surface, and even create new j channels during some euents. These flows, both debris and '°normaa' flaod flaws, can seriously damage ar destr4y bui4dings and their infras#ructure, as well as harrn the occupants of those buildings. We assess the risk of debris flows from thte Middle Creek Valley to be high' during the lifet'sme of the project, although we cannot predict their average Tecurrence time interva82 . Tha# recurrence time interval is likely to be quite erratic. Their volumes could range frorn srnall to quite large because the drainage area of Nkiddle Creek incorporates about 8 to 7 square miles. The high risk pased by debris flows, as well as by "normal" floods, could be reduced by one or a cambination of several mitigating measures. The designs for these could be jncorporated in your finai development plans. Additionally, debris fan soils tend ta be subject to differential settlement when wetted, bu# ; the potential impact of this can be moderated by fQUndation engineering practices well within the tl state-of-the-geotechnical engineering prac#ice. ~ ~ ' Qur assessment of risk is couched 4n qualitative, empirically-de rived terms (hign, medium, and low). ~ The state-of-the-geologic-art does not permit a ratianal quantitative analysis. z Ara experienced engineering hydrologist should evaluate the risk of "normal" #looding. 3 _ R. J. Irish C4nsulting Eraginearing ~ Geo6agis#, inc, L.arge and small boulders of gran3tic rock and limestone are scattered across the steeply incfined surfaee of the foot of the valley slope overlooking tIne eastern half of the praject area. Most of these appear to be embedded in #he morainal soils that blaraket that area, but a few appear to be perched an top of that ground. Bflth couCd be dislndged by s9opewash erosion, thus could tumble down into the praject area. 1Ne consider the risk of such an event to be medium during the lifetime of the praject. That risk could be reduced substantial4y, wa suggest, by dislodging #he exposed boulders by hand, utilizing a steel bar, and afFowing them to fali onto the surface of the debris fan down slope before any buildings are canstructed an this tract. The area ta be serviced extends frorn the narthern side of the fan surface up ta a terraced section of the slope about 150 feet in elevation above the fan surface, and from the eastern side of the property to the eastern side of the mauth of the Middie Creek Valley. Boulders perched on, and partly embedded in the morainal sails acrass #he toe of the Eagle Valley slope west of the mouth of the Mill Creek Valley may be dislodged naturally from time to time and roll dvwn the slope, but they shou[d not travel into the vrestern sectian of the planned developrnent area. lnstead, they are fikely ta be trapped in the channel of the creek, which traverses along the toe of that slope. Any that may skip ovar that channel, however, should be trapped by the dense brush and aspen West of the Mountain BeEI tawer, or impeded by the tower buildings. ~ The soils and roe'k underfying the Eagle Vailey slope in the vicinity of the pfanned development site appear to be relatively stable. We observed na landslides there or grflund sur#ace cracks that might presage 6andsliding. The granular soils of the shallow sloped debrislalluvial fan do not evidence instabiiity or irrcipient instability, The 40-mile lang Gore Fault, a majar rrqountain-baunding struCture on the westem side of ~ the Gore Range, lies about 4 miles east of the project site (at i!s clasest approach); tha 50-mile long Masquito Faul# lies about 12 miles to the west; and the 25-mile lang Savuatch Faul# terminates (at its northern end) about 24 miles south of the site. Some seismolrgists consider these 3 faults to be potentially active; but mast seismologists, nonetheless, eonsider the risk of a strang earthquake generated by those faults or any other fault within a hundred miles a# the praject site to be low #o insignificant during the next 140 ta 200 years. 7his is not ta say that this par# of Co[arado is seismicaily quiescent, but the earthquakes generated by the reactivation of faults in this regian shau[d have small magnitudes. Earthquake intensities of V to Vl, with peak acceierations of 0.05g, we conclude, are unliicely to be exceeded at this si#e during the [ife of the project. So long as the constTUCtion of the planned buildings and appurtenant facilities does not materially Change the existing ground canditions of the natural soils andlor bedrock, slope stability should nat be impaired. If cuts or fills in excess of 5 feet high are needed, hawever, they should be designed by a geQtechnicas engineer experienced in that work. Panding of water on the debrislailuvial fan slope, of course, should be avoided because seepage water from a pond could bui€d pore water pressure in the debris #an soiis, thus could t+`igger ground i movement. s 4 i R.

Ttus document is a compilation of trigs rates derived from traffic catuits at simitar uses thraug,bout the coun?try, Most I'TE residezytial trip rates are from traffic counts at suburban settings witla lrrttle or na access ta public rransit. Residerrtial Trips The Middle Creek paro;ect is located along a high service transrt carridnr with goad pedestrian and bilce linkages to Vail and Liqnshead ViI3ages. A majority of tenants are expected to woric in Var1 establishments where long-term (i.e. "warker") an-site daytime parking supply will he at a pzemium fnr much of the yeaa. We an#icipate Nliddle Creelc residents will be lzss incliaaed to travel locally by caz for vcrork and personal business trips than their "I'I`E-apartmern" cournezparts. Accordingly, we expect daily residzmial vehicie trips will be in the qrder of 20% less than the ITE derived rate and peak hour vehicle trips wili be one-quartter to one-tlurd less than the TI'E rate. Urban centers with kigh all day parking costs and gcrad transit access can have transit mode splits of 25 to 44%o in the coanrnute periads. We believe I1fiddle Creek residents could read.ily exhibit a callective 30% wa3k/buslbike mode split in the commute periads.

Similarly, the combinatian of daytime parking cost and availability in Vai1 and Lionshead Villages, proxirtaity to'4'ail Village and, f=rorrt donr access to three of the Town's free bus routes suggests 30% less than typical site trip generataon during the AM and PM camitute periods. P:ak period opera#ion (ievel of ser,ice) of each access approach will remain in the same short delay range (LOS as the existing day carelMa Bell access drive. Left turns from North Frontage Road will experience littie or no delay in most cases. L,eft turn storage lanes are needed at each access dnve per State Highway Access Code criteria. The new center lane can be striped as a Two Way Left Turn Lane. As such, the imprvverneni will faeilitate Peft turns (includiug Tawn buses) out oftke residEntial site, Right tum deceleration or acceleration lanes are not needed per the Cade, ' The volume ofproject traffic added to North Frvntage Road will not cause a cbange in two-lane 35 to 40 mph highway operation. The road will continue to operate in the LOS C range, with PM ageration nearing the low end of the of the LG1S .D service range. Ihe nearby I-70 Main Vail ndrLh zoundabout intecseciion has cacasiderable reserve capacity to reaciily accommvdate traffic added by this project. ~ ~ TDA Midrtle Creek.

Due to design changes and ~ recornmendations, site constraints will rnake a pond impractical for the proposed developrnent. In 31eu of a sec3imentation pond, several measures will be taken to prornote starmvvater runoff waCer qualit"", A curb and gutter and storm sewer system is proposed to carry stormwater througll the sice. The dramaae system is designed with curb inlets and sand oil separators. Per Town of Varl standards, the proposed Type 13C curb inlets are designed with a 1.5' sump belaw the inlet to cagture sedirnent fi-am runoff. Additionally, two sand/oit separators are praposed to capture sediment and oil fram parking lat, acccss drive, and snow melt runnff. A preliminary layout of these measures is shown on the grading and drainage plan. A f;nal sizing of the drainage imprQVements wil] occur in the Final Drainage Stuciy for Middle Creek Village, during the final plat submittal. All impravements will be designed per ToN;-n of Vail Standards. The proposed system will facilitate sedimentation from site runoff, Additionally, "Best Management Practices" wil] be implemented during the construction process to ensure appropriate ernsion control arid water quality measures are taken. Erasion conirol throughout the construciion process wil] consist of silt ience, straw bales, and cheek dams. Please d4 not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Sincerely, Mark B.

O#'xhese, approximately $S% are cavered, and 70 slots (140 spaces) are in a tandem configuration. There are a tatal af 69 units that are either 2-bedrraonns or 3-bedrooms. Each of these will be assigned to a tandem slot. That leaves oniy additional tandem slot, which wzll be assigned to one of the studio or T-bedroom units. This can be easily accamrnadateci since each of the studio and 1 bedroom units has 1.5 spaces provided for it. Aliocation and Assignment of Parking Spaces It is anticipated that each unit will have available to it a parking space(s) within the parking structure. There are 212 covered spaces, which will be allocated as follows: ~ Number COVERED Total Unit 'I' e of Units Per Unit Allocation Covered S aces 2 Bedraom Units 24 1 covered tandem 4$ 3 Bedroam Units 45 1 covered tandem 90 Studio Units 44 1 covered single 44 1 Bedropm L3nitS 28 1 covered single 28 1 Bedroorn IJnits 1 1 covered single 2 Tatal 142 212 Surface spaces will be available far visitars, or for secand cars for the studio and 1 bedroom units.

The Site is proposed for an affordakale housing communiry. T1ie detailccl deserzptiun of the properry is the SE 1/4 of Section 6, T'ownship 4 SouEii, Range 80 West, West 106° 22' 44", North 39° 38' 46" (Site). Tt is accessed frc,m the rnain Vail Interchange, west on the North Frontaage ftoad for approximately 200 yds, then first right on Mountain Be11 Road, signposted for a day eare center. The delineation was conducted on September 27 and CJctaber 15, 2001 as part of planning efforts to develop an affordable housing cotnmunity far the Town of VaiL 11. VICINITY AND GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTIC?N The 6-7 acre properry is situated on south facing slopes overlooking I-70 and the main Town of ~ Vail. Due to its southerly aspect the surrounding slopes are generally dzy with sagebrush and stands of a,spen. `I1ie properry, known loc.allq as the `Mountain $ell' Site is the existing home of the US Vilest radio tower (to remain) and a small day eare center (to be incorporated into the new development). Native vegeta:tinn in ti-te vicinity is sagebnish on the dry south facirtg slopes, however Midtlle Creek runs a1Qng the north and wgst pzopemr boundary. The creek, combined with evident seeping from the steep slopes above has created riparian eottonwoaci forests over mueh of the west end of the Site. The East ersd of the site is significantly drier with sagebrush and open aspen waocil.ands. Ifl. WErLAND DEscFUPTIarr Tfze entire Site was visited and any wetl.ancLs identified, except for the pareel•west of the US west tower and north of the aecess Road (ic€entified as QWest on FIGURE 2). This area is a moist riparian cattanwaod forest and may have areas of wetiand. It is not prapqsed for consmuction as part of this project. ~ Wetiands were found only in che imrnediate vicinity of Middte Creek. In the lower stretches of Middle Creek, near the frontage raad, up to where the access road swings away frorn the creek, (FIGURE 3) wetl.ands are very narrow frin,ge riverine, with sfeeply incised banks likely due to the r.oad buiiding. ~ i4fiddle Creek was nat deEnieated ta the varest of the U5 West buildtng until the north end of the building where the US West propert}T meets the site of potential boulder retenrion site, nvrth of I Wetiand l7efineaion - Moa{main BeII Sue, Vaat pA . th.e tower (FiGURE 4), Wetlands narth Qf the US We.St tawer are narrow fringe in places but have ~ rF o.~,,,.. abetre~ develaped floodplair? with less steeply incised banks that the lower stretches -adjacent to the roads. There are side channe6; frUm the +creek however they app+ear to be active for insufficient time ar frequency ta have deveioped-vvedand vegetation. Sample paint 1 was taken in cottonwood woodlands at the south -west ccamer of rhe site between Mountain Bell Road and the Frontage Road, Na wetlands were identified. A.

A gaging station is locateci on the stretch adjacent to the Fzontage Road. USGS . hydrolagical data indicates that Middle Creek peaks in Ju.ne with average daily discharges of agproximatelp 70cfs. i B. saILs There are no sod rnaps available for the Vail axea, Saznpled soils vvere san:dy clay loam with n}oderat+e chrotn.a. In the upper reaciles of the creek, deep pockets of duff are evident of ~ nch soils associated with the xipar-ian woodlands. C VEGE,fATTON The wetland is a mosaie of riparian and wetland species. Narrowleaf cottonwood (Popu2us dngusti folia) vvaotilands dotninate the west portion of the Site, graciing into drier Aspen (Populzcs rremxloides) wQods and then finally into open sagebrush (Seriphidium tridentatum), Wetlands were very narrow fringe adjacent to Vliddle Cteek with a poar herbaceous understory. Some af this could be attributec3 to the Late seasan delineatian.

Tlie reason for this update is because the layout of the originaf design ]3as been changed, thus the noise analysis had to be revisiied. As with the original analysis, the pUT-pose afthis study wa€s tp enmpare the calculated overall interior noise levels for the propased sti-uctures to the U.S. I3epartment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) interior noise goal of 45 dB(A) (Ref: The Noise Cuidebook, US De,partmenL ofHousing and Urbun Developmerrt; 1991).. The updated analysis shows that the progased Middle Creek Affardable Housing praject will achieve the IIUD interior noisc gaal of 45 dB(A) using staudard exterior wall cc+nslruciion. It should bc noted that this analysis was conducted using peak-hour (ioudcst-hour) traffic conditions, which cypically only occur fcrr a total of about two ar thrce hours per day. The following pravides an explanation as to how the ~ exterior and intcrior noise levels vvere calcuiated, followcd by the resulis and eomparisvn to thc HLD ~ interiar noise goat. Noise Level Calculation MethodoCogy 5imilar to the original analysis (Ref.• Letter from Hankrrrd Errvironmentcrl, Inc. to QdeII Architects dated 112812002), the exterior noise levels were predic#ed based on measured noise ievels at the site, topob aphy of the site, peak-hour tra[ric vvlumes and speeds prorided by the Calprado DepaRment of Transpantation, an€1 an updated design layaut provided by Odell Architects as shown in Figure 1. Noise levGls were predicted for each structure om the top floor using its nearest locaEian to I-70, which typically corresponds to the laudest jocation. Frimary factars that affect the nnise lcvels include the distance of the structeare to I-70, the location of any barriers or berms tliat block the I-70 tzaffic noise, aad the amouot af sound absorption hy the ground. As with the original analysis, no signi(icant naise barncrs were found beiween I-70 and the proposed structures, and no ground absorption was applicd co the calculations as the praposed structures are significantly elevated. Thus, the results of the analysis should gravide a near worst-ease scenario. 103 East Simpson Strect • Laf'ayektc, C4lorad4 $0026 phoncs (343) 666-0617 o fax (303) 666-1053 • Nvw+w.hankardinc.com I Attachnnent: M i .

These results were similar to the original analysis, as the lacations of each newly dcsigned structure did uot mave srgnificantly nearer or further away from I-70 as shown in Figure 1 on the previons page, As with the onginal analysis, ik was assuffied that standard exterior waH comstruction caaaststs of a 4" cxtcrior wall with 'f~n thick gypsum wallboard an the inside, '1~" thick plywrod on the outside, and acoustically absarbent maEenaQ (i.e_ fiberglass) loosely filling the cavity.

Additionally, because these mu[ti-family structures bave cxteriar daars opening direcily tca the vutside, all doors facing I-70 were assumed to be solid coze wood (or acoustically similar material) that is 2" thick (ar a density of 8 Iblft2 ) and weli gasketed.

I Evergreen Lodge • V A I L August 12, 2002 Town of Vaif Planning & Environmental Commassian Department of Development 75 South Frantage Road Vail, C{) 81657 Dear Gommission & Development Staff: Having reviewed plans for Middle Creek i wish to voice bath supgsrt and cancez7n abaut the project. First, I do Favpr development of rc asonably rp iced employee housing that is of resgectable quality, thus encouraging residents to behave with respect for their surroundings and neighbors. The Mvuntain Be111Middle Creek location seems appropriate ta this use as it is clase to vvork and hapefully residents would be encouraged ~ to utilize public transportation or waiking to warlc rather than further irnpacting Vail's Iimited parking. 1VIy cancerns are based upon the anticigated price of rents in the unixs and the size and balance of the atructures on the site. All our employees are canscious of cents and many struggle to rnake ends rneet although they wark two ar more jabs. If at all possrble, keeping rents per bedroom below $650 per rnonth would be importa.nt. Second, the sketches of the prvpased buildings appear to be impasing and too much far the small site. Granteti, the Mountain Bell tower and the school are not examples of exceptional architecture, however, I feet that what is proposed it vut of scale with the natural landscape. Further, when passing through the roundabout, this will be aprim:ary intraductiQn #o Vail. An oversize building on ihis site simply is nor appropriate. As a neighbor across the street (Interstate) and as both a business owner and resident of Va.il, I urge yau to consider haw the views of the building from the east and from the south will be ixrapacted. It may be necessary to scale the deveIapment down in order to mapntain an attractive balance and not overdevelap the site.

Frontage Rd. WesUUnplatted. Applicant: Tawn of Vail, represented by VAg, Inc. Planrter. George Ruther L SUMMARY 4n July 22, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Commission conditionally approved a request far the final review of an amendmen# ta the previously appraved development plan allawing far the construc#ion of the [7onavan Park Pavilion and associatecP improvements. [n approving the request, however, the ~ Commission placed a condition an their appraval requiring #he applicant to return to the Planning and Environmentai Commission meeting an Augusr 12, 2002, for review and approval af revisions to the front entry drop-off and rear entry service areas. Staff is recommending appraval af the applicant's reques# as we believe that the propasaf is in compliarace with the criteria of such a propasal. Staff's analysis of the criteria can be faund in SectEon V of this memorandurrr. !I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, the Tawn of Vail, represented by VAg, Inc., is requesting that the Planning and Enviranmental Commission review and approve the praposed revisions to the front en#ry drop off and rear entry senrice areas. The applicant has revised the plans to improve the 5ense o# arrival to the pavilion as well as redesigned the service area configuration in respanse to cancerns expressed by #he Planning and Environmental Camraiissivn. The applicant has inereased the amount of landscaped area at the front entrartce to the pavilian and significarotly redesigned the rear service area. The redesign of the rear service area was intended #o imprave the ability to screen the area and cluster the uarious pieces caf equipment in one area_ CII. BACKGROUND ~ In 1980, the Town of Uail acquired a 51 acre parcel of {and in the Matterhorn area o€ West Vail. The parcel was described as having three distinct areas; the upper bench, mictdle bench, and lower bench. The Iower bench is approximateiy 12 acres in size and would later ias determined as the best opparfunity+ for a l cornmunity park deuelapment due to its easy access and prime creekside ~ locatian. In 1985, the Vail Town Cauncil adapted #he Gerald R. Ford Park and Donovan ~ Park Master Plan. The purpose of this plan is ta provide aframework fcar i deeision-making araund the deWelopment of these two valuable park land sites. The plan prescribes standards ancf design guidefines for implementation ta ensure that these twv open space parcels rneet the recreation needs of the residents and visitors to the Vail area. In 1999, the Vail Tpwn Council initiated a study of the potential community facilities for the Town of Vail. This study inciuded multiple sites around #own and among thern was the lower bench of Donovan Park. The results af the study concluded that the lower bench of Donovan Park was the mast appropriate locatian for a new community park and a new community park pawilian. In 2000, the Vail Town Council adopted the Donovan Park Master Plan Amendment. This plan is an amendment to #he originally adopted Gerald R. ~ Ford and Donovan Park Master PEan. The expressed purpose o# the plan is to provide an upda#ed re#Iection o# cammunity needs, concerns, and priorities as they relate to the lower berach of Donovan Park. While seeking to presenre the overall site values and design guidelines of the 1985 Donovan Park Master Plan, this arnendment expands and clarifies anticipa#ed and desired community uses of the property. In 2041, tFae Vail Touvn Councii directeti the Donovan Park Design Team tv move ~ farward wi#h the preparation of design/development drawings for Phase I improvements to the new park. Later that year, the Tawn of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission approved a request for a canditional use permit and approved development to allow far the construction of the park and community park pavilion. Aetual park construction was started shortly thereafter and has been progressing towards completion. In 2002, responding tn construction cost considerations, the Vail Town Council initiated a redesign process of the comrnunity park pavilion and associated improvements. The redesign process has since been cornpfeted and the applicant, the Town of VaiR, is now requesting finai review and approval of an amendment to a previously approved developrnent plan. According to the 1faia Land Use Plan and the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, the lower benGh ofi Donovan Park has a 9and use designation as "Park" and is located within the General Use Zone aistrict. On July 22, 2002, the Planning and Environmental Carnmission approved a I reques# far an amendment to the previausly appraved development plan for Donovan Park. The approval included two conditions. IV.

AMENDED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Accarding to the Oificial Town of VaiR Zoning Map, the iower berrch af Donovan Park is located within the General Use Zane District. Pursuant to Section 12-9C- 1 of the Vail Town Code, "The General Use Drstrict is infended to provide sifes for publiG and quasi- publrc uses whrch, bccause af their special characterisfics, cannot be approprlately regulated by the development standards prescrrbed far other zoning districts, and for which development standards especrally prescribed for each particular development proposal or projeet are necessary to achieve the purposes prescrrbed in Secfion 92-1-2 vf thrs Title and to provr`de for the public welfare_ The General Use Dfsfrrct r`s intended ta ensure that publrc bUildings and graunds and cerfarn fypes of quasr-public uses permlfted in the Dlstrict are appropriafely located and designed to meet fhe needs Qf residenfs and vrsrfars to Vail, to harmonrze with surrounding uses, and, in the case of 6uildings and other strucxures, to ensure adequate light, air, open spaces, and ofher amenities appropriafe fo fhe permrtted fypes of uses.,, ~ Furtherrriore, development standards for development within the General Use Zone District shall be proposed by the applicant and prescribed by fhe Planning and Environmental Commission. The approveci development standards shall be as indicated on the approved development plan. An approved development plan i 3 I sha91 be used as the prineipal guicfe for all development in the General Use Zone ~ District. Approved development plans may be amended. Amendments to an approved development plan shall be consfdered in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Vail Town Code. Additianalfy, an approved development plan and any subsequent amencfinents thereto shall require the approval of the Design Review Board, in accordance with the appficable pravisiQns af Chapter 11 (Qesign Review) of the Vaii TQwn Code prior to the cammencement af site preparation. The following criteria shall be used as the principal rneans f4r evafuatFng a praposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the prapased development plan corriplies with all applicable design criteria: A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and arientation is compatible with the site, adjacen# praperties and the surraunding neightaorhood. The applicant has praposed revisians to the design af the paWilion with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing, and arientation. The original pavilion design was more contemporary in nature with a significantly different overall look. The scale of the original pavilion was i larger by approximately 15% and had a maximum alEowable building height of 38.5 feet. The revised propasal suggests a pavilion of ~ approximately 5,350 square feet of interior space and a maximum building height nat to exceed 33 feet. While both designs ariented the Views of the south side of the pavilion towards the creek, the new design has been rotated on a clockwise axis to improve views out of the pavilion. Both designs, howewer, have the paviRion located withEn #he same building envelope area. It is because of these reasons that staff believes that the amended cfesign praposal complies with #he building design eriteria. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and tocated to praduce a functianal development plan responsive ta the site, the surrounding neighbarhood and uses, and the community a$ a whale. The proposed amendment to the approved development plan does not request changes to the use of the buildings, improvernents, uses, ar activities on the site. While the applicant is propc?sing ta substantially increase the size of ihe outdoor terrace area, largely in part to accammodate a 20' x 40' temporary ten#, staff believes their intention was to use the outdoor terrace area for functians occurring within the pawilion. Staff believes that this criteria has been met and that few, if any, negatEWe impacts will result from an approval a# this amended approved development plan request. . C. Qpen space and landscaping are both functianal and aesthetic, are ~ designed ta preserr?e and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, proviafe adequate bufferirsg between the proposed uses and surrountiing 4 ~ properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing apen space and recreation areas. With the minor exception vf inciirect changes ta the development plan to accommodate the redesigned pavilion and assaciated improvements, the applicant is not praposing any changes that staff be9ieves will negatirrely irnpact open space and Eartdscaping on the site. In staff's opinion, the praposed development plan cnntinues to presenre and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities far access and use by the public, provides substantial buffering between uses and surrounding properties and is well integrated with the existing open space in the vicini#y. D. Apedestrian and vehicufar circulatian system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulatian to the site and throughout the deuelopment. The applicant is proposing to relocate a portion of the recreation path on the site. The relocated path will continue ta connect to pavilion and other park areas to the existing bpke path aEong tFae stream. The new path location is propnsed to go around the northerly perimeter ai the "preserve area°. According to the Danovan Park Master Plan Amendment, "This area (preserve area) should be preserved in its existing ~ ~ condifian, wifh orrly a recreatian pafh running afong fhe toe of the existing slope an its north edge. " and, "Developmenf shauld ke lfrnited to a possible recreatian path alang the area's perimeter." E. Enviranmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the pr•oject's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan.
