Page 4 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 11, 2010 SUBJECT: A request for a final review of a variance from 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for increased Gross Residential Floor Area, located at 1550 Matterhorn Circle/Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090039) Applicant: Wolfgang Mueller Planner: Bill Gibson SU M MARY The applicant, Wolfgang Mueller, is requesting a final review of a variance to amend a previously approved plan. On September 14, 2009, the applicant obtained a Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) variance to facilitate the conversion of an existing garage attic into an employee housing unit. The applicant is now proposing to construct an interior, rather than exterior, entry stairway to the employee housing which creates 175 sq.ft. of additional GRFA that can not be constructed without a new variance. Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval, with a condition, of the requested variance subject to the findings and conditions noted in Section IX of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant, Wolfgang Mueller, is requesting a final review of a variance from 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for increased Gross Residential Floor Area, located at 1550 Matterhorn Circle/Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto. On September 14, 2009, the applicant obtained a GRFA variance to construct a Type III Employee Housing Unit (EHU) by remodeling an existing attic storage area above the existing garage on the subject property. By converting the entire attic area, the applicant proposed a 1,544 sq. ft. EHU which exceeded the 1,200 sq. ft. size limit prescribed by Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code; which necessitating the variance. The applicant is now proposing to remove the existing exterior stairs to the second floor garage attic area and instead construct a new interior stairway to the employee housing unit. The new stairway will convert an existing garage area to GRFA. This new interior stairway will create 175 sq.ft. of new floor area beyond the GRFA limit approved through the September 14, 2009, variance. Therefore, the applicant must obtain a new GRFA variance to facilitate the construction of the proposed interior stairway. � � � A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant's request (Attachment B), architectural plans and photographs (Attachment C) have been attached for reference. BACKGROUND The subject property was originally developed with five dwelling units in 1976 under Eagle County jurisdiction. The property was later annexed into the Town of Vail in 1982 and zoned Residential Cluster District which allows up to three dwelling units to be constructed on a lot of this size. Therefore, the subject property is now legally non- conforming in regard to the density provisions of the Residential Cluster District and no new "dwelling units" are permitted to be constructed on this site. However, pursuant to Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, Type III EHU's are excluded from density calculations. Therefore, an unlimited number of Type III EHU's may be constructed on this site. On September 14, 2009, the applicant obtained a GRFA variance to facilitate the conversion of an existing garage attic into an employee housing unit with 1,544 sq.ft. of GRFA. ROLES OF REVIEWING BODIES Order of Review: Generally, conditional use permit and variance applications will be reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission, and then any accompanying design review application will be reviewed by the Design Review Board. Planning and Environmental Commission: The Planning and Environmental Commission is responsible for final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of a variance application, in accordance with Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code. Design Review Board: The Design Review Board has no review authority over a variance application. However, the Design Review Board is responsible for the final approval, approval with modifications, or denial of any accompanying design review application. Town Council: The Town Council has the authority to hear and decide appeals from any decision, determination, or interpretation by the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board. The Town Council may also call up a decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission and/or Design Review Board. Staff: The Town Staff facilitates the application review process. Staff reviews the submitted application materials for completeness and general compliance with the appropriate requirements of the Town Code. Staff also provides the Planning and Environmental Commission a memorandum containing a description and background of the application; an evaluation of the application in regard to the criteria and findings outlined by the Town Code; and a recommendation of approval, approval with modifications, or denial. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code 2 ARTICLE 12-6E: RESIDENTIAL CLUSTER (RC) DISTRICT (in part) 12-6E-1: PURPOSE: The residential cluster district is intended to provide sites for sing/e-family, two- family, and multiple-family dwellings at a density not exceeding six (6) dwelling units per acre, together with such public facilities as may appropriately be /ocated in the same district. The residential cluster district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with residentia/ occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of the district by establishing appropriate site deve/opment standards. CHAPTER 12-13, EMPLOYEE HOUSING: (in part) 12-13-1: PURPOSE: The Town's economy is /argely tourist based and the hea/th of this economy is premised on exemplary service for Vail's guests. Vail's ability to provide such service is dependent upon a strong, high quality and consistently available work force. To achieve such a work force, the community must work to provide quality living and working conditions. Availability and affordability of housing plays a critical ro/e in creating quality living and working conditions for the community's work force. The Town recognizes a permanent, year-round population plays an important ro/e in sustaining a hea/thy, viable community. Further, the Town recognizes its ro/e in conjunction with the private sector in ensuring housing is available. The Town Council may pursue additional incentives administratively to encourage the deve/opment of employee housing units. These incentives may include, but are not limited to, cash vouchers, fee waivers, tax abatement and in- kind services to owners and creators of employee housing units. The Town or the Town's designee may maintain a registry and create lists of all deed restricted housing units created in the Town to assist employers and those seeking housing. CHAPTER 12-17, VARIANCES (IN PART) 12-17-1: PURPOSE: A. Reasons for Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to /essen such practical difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the objectives of this tit/e as would result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practica/ difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the /ocation of existing structures thereon; from topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity,� or from other physical limitations, street /ocations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not be a reason for granting a variance. 12-17-6: CR/TER/A AND F/ND/NGS: A. Factors Enumerated: Before acting on a variance application, the planning and environmental commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance: 1. The re/ationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. 3 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this tit/e without grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. B. Necessary Findings: The planning and environmental commission shall make the following findings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties c/assified in the same zone district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimenta/ to the public hea/th, safety, or we/fare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practica/ difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this tit/e. b. There are exceptiona/ or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone district. c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district. 0 i c� a � �. a� � � � .� � � � .� 0 _ � �, 0 � W � � � N N .� a a� � d= �i � N � � O +:.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Current Land Uses Zoninq North: Multi-Family Residential Residential Cluster District South: Multi-Family Residential Residential Cluster District East: Donovan Park Middle Bench Agriculture & Open Space District West: Gore Creek and Donovan Park General Use District REVIEW CRITERIA The Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to a variance application: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. A principle development objective of the Town of Vail is to encourage the construction of housing for local residents. In response to this objective, the Vail Town Code includes requirements and incentives for the construction of Employee Housing Units (EHU's). EHU's are required in certain zone districts by the Town's Commercial Linkage and Inclusionary Zoning policies. In most zone districts, employee housing are facilitated by the Vail Town Code by allowing such units as permitted uses and granting additional development rights. One of these incentives includes the provision that Type III EHUs are excluded from both density and Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) calculations, pursuant to Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code. Although Type III EHU's are not calculated as density or GRFA, the provisions of Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, do regulate the size of these EHUs at a minimum of 300 sq. ft. and a maximum of 1,200 sq. ft. These EHU size limits are determined by using GRFA calculation methods. 0 The proposed EHU for which this variance is being requested, will be created by remodeling the existing attic storage area of an existing garage structure on the subject property. The applicant is now proposing to remove the existing exterior stairs to the second floor garage attic area and instead construct a new interior stairway to the employee housing unit. The first floor portion of the proposed interior stairway will be located in the northwest corner of the existing garage and will not displace any vehicle parking spaces. Staff believes the applicant's amended proposal to create an enclosed, interior stairway to the employee housing unit will create a more convenient and livable residence than maintaining the existing, open exterior stairway. Staff believes the proposed EHU in the existing garage will have little physical or visual impact on neighboring uses or structures in comparison to existing conditions. Therefore, Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative effect upon this criterion. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Staff believes the original development of the subject property under Eagle County jurisdiction and the subsequent annexation of the property into the Town of Vail has created unique circumstances related to the existing density on the site and the configuration of existing structures. The Vail Town Code generally encourages, and occasionally requires, the construction of EHU's. Type III EHU's are permitted in the Residential Cluster District and the applicant is proposing to convert the existing attic storage area above an existing garage into an EHU. The floor area of this converted attic will exceed the 1,200 sq. ft. EHU size limit prescribed by Section 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code. Since the applicant is proposing to create an EHU in the existing attic area of an existing structure, Staff believes the applicant is requesting a variance to the degree necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity and to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege due to the unique characteristics of the property. Additionally, on July 11, 2005, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a variance allowing the construction of a new Type III Employee Housing Unit in excess of the 1,200 sq. ft. floor area limit in the Residential Cluster District at 2883 Kinnikinnick Road. This variance facilitated the construction of a new three-story, single-family style Type III EHU. The top two floors of living area equaled 1,200 sq. ft., and the variance allowed an additional 873 sq. ft. of garage and storage area to be constructed on the first floor. The variance resulted in a total EHU unit size equaling 2,073 sq. ft. of floor area. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant impact on the public health, safety or welfare, public facilities, utilities, or light and air in comparison to the existing conditions. 7 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. As part of the on-going Zoning Code update project, Staff is proposing that the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council amend Section 12-13-4, Vail Town Code, and eliminate the current 1,200 sq. ft. floor area cap on the size of Type III EH U's. IX. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based upon Staff's analysis of the review criteria in Section VIII of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approval, with a condition, of a variance from 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for increased Gross Residential Floor Area, located at 1550 Matterhorn Circle/Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve, with a condition, this variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass the following motion: "The P/anning and Environmenta/ Commission approves the applicant's request for a variance from 12-13-4, Requirements by Employee Housing Unit Type, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for increased Gross Residentia/ F/oor Area, located at 1550 Matterhorn Circle/Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto, subject to the following condition: 1. Approva/ of this variance request is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail approva/ of the associated design review application." Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission makes the following findings: "Based upon the analysis of the review criteria outlined in Section Vlll of Staff's January 11, 2010, memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the P/anning and Environmenta/ Commission finds: 1. The granting of this variance will not constitute a granting of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the Residential Cluster (RC) District. 2. The granting of this variance will not be detrimenta/ to the public hea/th, safety, or we/fare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. This variance is warranted for the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practica/ difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of Tit/e 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code. � b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the Residentia/ Cluster (RC) District. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the Residentia/ Cluster (RC) District. " X.

Vaii, Co. The property comprises five apartments on .57 acres and was annexed into the Town of Vail in 1982. Four of the apartments are on year leases and occupied by local workers. The fifth is the primary residence of the owner/applicant. � A garage with storage space above was added about 20 years ago. This application is for the conversion of the storage area above the garage into an EHU. The applicable Zone District is RC under which additional units are allowed if restricted as Type III EHUS. The maximum square footage for this type EHU is 1200 sq.ft. The area above the garage comprises about 1586 sq.ft. An interior staircase from the garage level increases the square footage from the Aug.20, 2009 application to 1719 sq.ft. The exterior staircase has been removed. NEIGHBORS: The property is bordered by the 11 unit Matterhorn Inn complex to the west. To the east three single family units of the seven unit Parkside Villas Project abut. The lower bench of Donovan Park is across Matterhorn Circle to the north and the middle bench of Donovan Park is contiguous to the south. PARKING: The existing 5 units plus the proposed EHU require 12 parking spaces (6 units times 2 spaces per unit). This offstreet parking has been sketched on the site plan and was deemed sufficient by Chris Dellis of the TOV Pubiic Works Department. LANDSCAPING: The landscaping on the property and around the garage is mature - as shoWn on the photographs. A tiered boulder garden wali is proposed for the southwest corner of the garage.

(PEC080065) Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell I. SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, is requesting a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council on a request to for prescribed regulations amendments to the Vail Town Code pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-10- 19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to amend the core area parking maps to include "Ever Vail" within the "Commercial Core Areas" designation. The Ever Vail project is the proposed creation of a new portal to Vail Mountain on approximately 12.2 acres comprised of properties currently located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage Road West, and the South Frontage Road West right-of-way. Upon review of the applicable elements of the Town's planning documents and adopted criteria for review, the Community Development Department is recommending the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with a condition of the applicant's request for prescribed regulation amendments to Section 12-10-19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to the Vail Town Council. A complete summary of our review is provided in Section VI I of this memorandum. II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Company, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, LLC, has submitted seven development review applications which will be reviewed and acted upon by the Planning and Environmental Commission prior to the conclusion of the review process. Those applications include: • A major subdivision to establish new lot configurations, rights-of-way, easements, etc; • An amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 4, Cascade, to remove the GLOB from the SDD; • A rezoning of the parcels created by the major subdivision to Lionshead Mixed Use-2; • An amendment to the Town Zoning Regulations to include the project within the "commercial core area" for calculating parking requirements; • A variance for site coverage for the below grade structure; • Several conditional use permits to allow for a new gondola, below grade parking structure, and below grade mountain operations service facility; and • A major exterior alteration to allow for multiple structures to be constructed. At today's hearing the applicant and staff are requesting the Planning and Environmental Commission take action on a request to forward a recommendation to the Vail Town Council with regard to proposed amendments to the prescribed regulations regarding the designation of "commercial core areas" found in Chapter 12-10, Off Street Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code. This request, if approved, would result in the use of the parking requirement schedule for commercial core areas. Within commercial core areas there is a reduction in the required parking for each land use located within a development. The reasoning behind this reduction was the result of a study which was performed in 1999 entitled Alternative Parkinq Ratio Analysis for the Vail Villaqe and Lionshead Core Areas in Vail, Colorado, prepared by Felsburg Holt and Ullveg, the Town's consultant (Attachment A). The premise of reducing parking requirements in Vail Village and Lionshead was based upon the study's findings that: "Higher leve/s of multi-purpose trip making, where a sing/e vehicle trip is made to complete two or more trip purposes. The proximity and viability of a/ternative transportation modes. Hourly variation in the peak accumulation of parked vehicles between different /and uses which tends to reduce the aggregate parking demand of the core area. " Staff has attached to this memorandum a map entitled "Core Area Parking" which depicts the current properties included within the commercial core areas and the properties proposed for inclusion associated with Ever Vail (Attachment B). The applicant has provided documents entitled Commercial Area Parkinq Requirements (Attachment C) and Circulation (Attachment D) addressing the request to have Ever Vail designated a commercial core area. These documents are to be inserted in the binder of information entitled Ever Vail: Applications for a Maior Subdivision, Rezoninq, Text Amendment, Conditional Use Permits, Maior Exterior Alteration, SDD Amendment & Variance to allow for the redevelopment of the West Lionshead Area which was provided at the December 14, 2009 hearing. Further more the applicant has submitted several revised sheets dated January 4, 2010, for inclusion into the 11"X17" set of drawings dated November 2, 2009, for the proposed Ever Vail project (Attachment E). The previous sheets can be removed and these sheets inserted. In addition to the request for a final recommendation on prescribe zoning regulations amendments the applicant will begin a discussion on surface circulation for both vehicles and pedestrians and potential scenarios for providing a high level of service within the proposed subterranean parking structures. A document entitled Ever Vail Garaqe Desiqn Review prepared by Carl Walker provides details on how the proposed subterranean parking structures could function to provide a high level of service to its users (Attachment F). III. BACKGROUND On February 6, 2007, the Vail Town Council adopted Resolution No. 4, Series of 2007, which implemented the changes to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan regarding West Lionshead and the area now called Ever Vail. On December 22, 2008, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion included the Simba Run underpass, retaining walls, median planter design, etc. On January 7, 2009, the Design Review Board held a public hearing at which the presentation and discussion focused on the proposed design for the Frontage Road realignment. Discussion focused on the retaining walls, bridge verse culvert crossing of the creek, and roadway design. On March 23, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously approved with condition(s) a partial preliminary plan to establish the right-of-way to be allocated for the relocated South Frontage Road adjacent to the interstate. On April 21, 2009, the Town Council endorsed the submittal of the proposed South Frontage Road relocation to the Colorado Department of Transportation by a vote of 3-1-1 (Foley opposed and Gordon abstained). On December 14, 2009, the Planning and Environmental Commission held a hearing to discuss the revised plans submitted on November 4, 2010 and more specifically the proposed parking counts for the project and the number attributed to each land use with not action requested.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING Land Use Zoninq North: CDOT ROW None South: Open Space Natural Area Preservation District East: Mixed Use Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 West: Mixed Use SDD No. 4, Cascade Village VII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The Vail Town Code prescribes the process, criteria, and findings for reviewing a proposed prescribed regulations amendment. In reviewing an application of this type the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested text amendment: (1) The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and The eleven (11) specific purposes of the Vail Town Code are included in Section V of this memorandum. The proposal to amend the core area parking maps to include the proposed Ever Vail project specifically addresses purposes 3, 4, 5, and 6. In 1999 the Town identified that the provision of required parking in both Vail Village and Lionshead was unique from other areas in the community and that the existing regulations may not be applicable. Through the analysis performed by Felsburg, Holt, and Ulveg, the Town's transit consultants, it was determined that several factors such as mixed use development, proximity and frequency to mass transit, and differing peak times for various land uses resulted in synergies for the demand of parking spaces. After careful review by the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council it was determined that Vail Village and Lionshead should be include within a commercial core designation which would have a different required parking schedule. This result promoted the specific purposes of the Vail Town Code by addressing the need to provide for efficient pedestrian and vehicular traffic circulation and lessening of congestion by appropriately locating off street parking and loading facilities. The adoption of a commercial core area parking requirement also addressed the need to maintain and establish workable relationships among land uses. (2) The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and The elements of the Vail comprehensive plan that staff believes apply to this request are the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the Vail Transportation Master Plan. These documents highlight the importance of parking, transit, and vehicular movement. Within the proposed Ever Vail project there are several aspects which address parking, transit, and vehicular movement to avoid conflicts. Furthermore, these aspects will work in concert with the proposal for a new gondola to support an approximately 12.2 acre new village portal. The aspects of Ever Vail which will work in concert with the proposed new village portal are similar to those found in both Vail Village and Lionshead. The Ever Vail project is proposed to include an enclosed four bus bay and 15 skier drop-off space facility, subsurface parking of 1,551 spaces of which 400 spaces will solely address skier parking demand, and a location for shuttle drop within a distance of approximately 500 to 900 feet of the gondola. Furthermore, the project includes a mix of various land uses including approximately 66,900 square feet of commercial, 33,600 square feet of office, 406 dwelling units, and 120 hotel rooms. These land uses will lend themselves to single trip multiple stop vehicular motions. Mass transit within Ever Vail is proposed to be addressed in several ways. Within the enclosed transit facility there are four bus bays to serve the Town's Green and Red outlying routes and Eagle County Transit buses. In addition to this facility it is proposed that the in-town bus route will have a pull out for two buses at the easternmost termination of Market Street in the proximity of the proposed grocery store. It is also anticipated that as the design for Market Street progresses, elements will be incorporated to facilitate the staging of additional buses on Market Street if needed for peak times. It is anticipated that the frequency of bus service will be as it exists throughout Town today. As the length of the in-town route expands it will cause the need for additional buses to maintain today's service standards of frequency. (3) The extent to which the text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and Since the establishment of the commercial core area parking requirements in 2000 there have been several changes in conditions. Those changes include amendments to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan to incorporate several additional properties into the extents of the Master Plan and the creation of specific recommendations for those properties. In general those amendments provided for 10 VIII. the establishment of a new lift to the mountain, an associated approximately 400 space public parking facility, employee housing, and other mixed use development. The Master Plan amendments began to lay the ground work for the establishment of a new portal onto the mountain. Subsequent to these amendments the applicant has been continuing to develop plans and submitting applications to facilitate the creation of a new portal and associated village. If Ever Vail were to be approved it would indeed be of comparable land area (commercial cores) and land use composition to Vail Village and Lionshead. Therefore, if Ever Vail were to be approved staff believes the same premises by which Vail Village and Lionshead where placed within the commercial core areas would apply to a new portal exhibiting significant similarities with regard to vehicular needs and usage. (4) The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal development objectives; and For many of the reasons stated in the responses for the previous criteria staff believes that the placement of the proposed Ever Vail portal within the commercial core parking area maps results in a convenient and more workable relationship among land use regulations. As described it is anticipated that Ever Vail will function in many ways like Vail Village and Lionshead and therefore the regulation of Ever Vail should be similar. There are two specific areas which staff believes needs to have continued focus and effort to provide greater support for inclusion within the commercial core parking areas map. As the project continues to advance through the process and evolve, the pedestrian connection from the west side of Lionshead to Ever Vail along West Lionshead Circle will be scrutinized by staff to design and develop the strongest functional connection that can be established. This pedestrian link is critical to the success of both Lionshead and Ever Vail. The situation that staff is wanting to address are the barriers that we are consistently trying to resolve along Meadow Drive from Vail Village to Lionshead. In addition, the second area of focus and scrutiny will be the provision of transit option, numbers, and locations. The project currently contains provisions for skier drop-off, buses, hotel shuttles, private vehicles, loading and delivery, etc. Moving forward as the project is further refined and understood the aspects of transit discussed previously will continually need to be reexamined for their function, number, and location. (5) Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental commission and/or council deem applicable to the proposed text amendment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with a condition, to the Vail Town Council for prescribed regulation amendments, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Section 12-10-19, Core Areas Identified, Vail Town Code, to amend the core area parking maps to include m "Ever Vail" (West Lionshead) within the "Commercial Core Areas" designation, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Staff's recommendation is based upon a review of the criteria and findings as outlined in this memorandum and from the evidence and testimony presented. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with a condition, of the applicants' request, staff recommends that the following condition be made as part of the motion: 1) That this recommendation for the inclusion of Ever Vail within the commercial core area parking map is contingent upon the approval of the remaining applications which will cause the project to receive its full entitlements. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approval, with a condition, of the applicants' request, staff recommends that the following findings be made as part of the motion: 1) That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development objectives of the town; and 2) That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and 3) That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality.

This way, restaurants �vould no# be discouraged fram providing large waiting or iobby areas. Staff believes the arnauni of kitchen area and staff a restaurant � contains/employs is commensurate with the size af its seating area. Therefore, we believe "seating floor area" to be a simple, effective technique for calculating restaurant parking. Additionally, staff is recommending a"minimum parking space" requirement to cover restaurants that may not have any seating floar area (i.e. Taca Bell Expressl. The recommended parking requir�r�ent for restaurants has been amended #o reflect the PEC's r�equests, � •/� change �n meeting roomlconference space parking from "number of seats" ta "seating floor area." The parking req�irement �as r�ot changed since the last PEC meeting, but the method of calculation has been changed to "seating f(oar area" to remain consistent with the other uses identified in the Off-Street Parking and Loading code. ■ The PEC directed staff to pursue increasing the parking requirement for residential con�iominiums within the core areas. PEC proposed maintai�ing a parking re�uirement of 2 spaceslunit for each condv. This is our current parfcing requiremeni for units betwee� 540-1,999 square feet. This represents a 30% increase over the cansuttar�#'s reeommendation for units within the commercial cores. �s � Attachment A 1tVAt�tDATA:EiV [:RYOT�i�.Yl:G: �q Fi�tOS'�OO�PRKG(.'i�ii3.f�C: Pa�� � ors mwrroF�,uc d History of the pro�osal � D�ring the sumrner of 1Q99, the "awn hired the firm of Felsburg, Nalt 8� Ullevig to conduct �n in-depth analysis of parkirtg generation in Vail's commercial core areas. The primary purpose of the study was to determine #he influence of extemal factors (mixed u�es, 'ransiVpedestrian #rips, hourly varia6ons ►n business activity} on p�rking generation. Currently, #he Town's parking regulaiions do not account for these factors and assess parking requirements strictly by land use type and square footage. Given the inability of many properties in VaiE Viilage and Lionshead to provide on-site parking and the Town's $17,9i7 per space parking pa�y-ir�-lieu fee, staff reali�ed a need to produce a more realis#ic assessment of pa�lcfng generation in ihese areas. flver the past few months, the consultant examined data involving a number of factors in�tuencing parking generation in Vail. Skier visits, parkdng structure transactions, land uses per square foo#, par[cing turnover ratios (lengtti of stay), and traffic {automobile, transit and pedestrian) counts were re#erenced and incorporated ir�to a model. This model was used to determine a more accurate assessment of paricing gener�ation in the Town's �ommer�ial core areas. The consultani's recommer�dations are outlined 'm Sec#ion fV of ihis memorandum. It is importa=it ta note ihese recommendations are applicable on(y to those properties that exhib�t the characteristics outlined above (mixed uses, transit/pedestrisn trips, hourly varia�ions in business ac#ivity}.

Backgrvund The. To�vn of `✓sii. is one of Cclor2do`s prernier r��cuntain rzsor? cammuni�ies. Located alcng I- 70 just west af t.he Continent3i Divide, Vail provides unique year-round recreaticn opportunit'ses, with emnhasis on winter ski actiivity. Vail is one of the most reeognFZed aestin�tion ski resorts in the st�te, and has hosted internationa) ski compet'stions. �or�tinuing aro��v�h, Gnd *he physical se±ting of Vai{, have chailenged tFte cornmunity to develep a�d maintain one ofi the most innovative a�d successful rnulti-modal, uedestrian oriented transportation systems, The Vail transit system is the second most u�ilized in the state, and consisrs of a core area shuttle coorciinatecE with bus service toifrom outlying areas. An extensive system of pedestr�an/bicycfe trails enhances muiti-modalism while providing , rQCreational opportuni�ies. Cehtra! parking facifities provide an interface between venicular travel and pedestrian access to the corz areas vf Vail Viilage a.nd LFonshead. Vail Vitlage and L�onshead are focat�d south of I-70 aiong the sauth frontage rcad, as depicted in Figure i.�ach of these p�destrian oriented core areas consists of a mix of resicfential, accommodatian, cornmercial/retail, and restaurant uses. At Vaii V�Itage, the Vail Transportation Cer,ter (VTC? parFing structure provides 1,200 parking for th�se uses, as wetl as �or ciay skiers during the wint�r. A 1,300 space structure accomr�od�tes similar paricin� needs witFtin Lionshead. � 8_ Study Pvrpose Currently, net,rv deveioprreeni or recfevelapment witfiin Vai( Villaae anci Lianshead is assesse� par'�cing impact fees by the Town oi Vail based on requirements containett in the Taavn's standards. Due tfl the mix of uses and moda! spIit characteristics, the concem has been expressed that these st4ndards may not be appEicable in thQSe care areas. 1n these multi-use areas, the concept of °shared" parking may provide a(temative stancfards. 7ypically, twa or more land uses in c{ose proximity ta eaeh other may shar� the same parking supply without �anflict or encroachment. This is often due ta the dizfer�nce in peak par:<ing demand bstween t�e usas; fer example, parking spaces used du�ing the day by o€fice workers may be used �_ during the evening hours by restaurant patrons. In additian, relatesi land us�s can result in mu(tiple-purpose trip makinq, in whici� a singie parkir►g space s�tisfies severaJ trip �urpases. An ex�mple ot this might be a shopping excursion with visits to several retail establishments and a restaurant for lunch.'•Nith �he clos� praximity of uses� tf�e vehicle is parked flnce, and .t�e remainder of the tri�s within the multi-use area are aceompfished either on foot ar via �rarsit.

This demand is acc�mmodated through a variety of puh�lic and private parking facillties. During peak times, public facilities such as the VTC and Lionsfiead structures, as well as the tem�orary parking tat in Ford Park, aporoach capacity. When the capacity of these three locations i5 exceeded, overflow parking occurs along the Frantage Road. � Avail�ble parking d�ta fflr the structures at VTC and Lionshead consist of the nu�rrber of ' trans4ctiens cond�cted at each location per day durinq the 1998/1999 ski season.

To simplify the process, for each meeting Mauriello Planning Group will provide a brief inemo summarizing the topic. More in-depth information can be found within the overall application. Core Area Parking Requirements Parking in Ever Vail is the primary driver in the design of the site and defines the underground improvements. As currently proposed, Ever Vail will be constructed with a total of 1,551 parking spaces, including the following: • Public Skier Parking: 400 spaces • Public Commercial Parking: 258 spaces • Private Residential Parking: 489 spaces • Employee Replacement Parking: 318 spaces • VR Maintenance Employees: 50 spaces • Other Parking: 36 spaces Vail Resorts Development Company, as part of the Ever Vail submittal, is proposing a text amendment for inclusion into the Core Area Parking Requirements. The text amendment has no impact on the 400 public skier spaces or on the 318 Employee Replacement Parking. * Background of the Core Area Parking Requirements The Core Area Parking Requirements were adopted in 2000, following the recommendation of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and based on research into appropriate parking generation rates in specialized, mixed-use areas such as the village cores of Vail. In 1999, the firm of Felsburg, Holt, and Ullevig (FHU) conducted an in-depth analysis of parking generation in Vail's commercial core areas. FHU incorporated a variety of factors, such as skier visits, parking structure transactions, land uses per square foot, parking turnover ratios, and trafFic counts, into a model to provide a more accurate assessment of parking generation. The model was based on characteristics of Vail's core areas, including mixed-uses, transit/pedestrian trips, hourly variations in business activity, etc. In general, the Core Area Parking Requirement is a 30% reduction of the parking requirements of the remainder of the Town of Vail.

This request is based on the reality that Ever Vail will become an additional village core and ski portal, and therefore shares the same characteristics of Vail Village and Lionshead. Like the other core area, there are hourly variations in the various uses proposed in Ever Vail. Ever Vail, like Vail Village and Lionshead, is a mixed-use, transit- and pedestrian-oriented development. Ever Vail will be served by the in-town shuttle on the eastern portion of the site. In addition, Ever Vail will be served by the regional transit system and includes an enclosed transit center with 4 bus bays, used by both ECO Transit and the red and green Town bus routes. Pedestrian connections between Ever Vail and both Lionshead Village and Cascade Village are existing and in some cases will be improved. Ever Vail is accessible via three bicycle and pedestrian path systems: • an on-street bicycle lane on the north side of Frontage Road, • a separated recreation path on the south side of Frontage Road, and • the existing Gore Creek recreation Path. Based on the previous analysis provided by FHU, there were approximately 4,723 parking spaces in the existing core areas of Vail Village and Lionshead. Of these, approximately 2,500 spaces were publicly available, while the remainder were private parking spaces. Ever Vail will add approximately 1,551 parking spaces to the existing supply (a 30% increase in overall supply). Approximately 658 of these total spaces will be publicly available (a 26% increase in public spaces). * Core Area Parking Requirements The Core Area Parking Requirements are applicable to the uses proposed on the Ever Vail site. The following provides a comparison of the parking requirements under the Core Area Parking Requirements and the non-Core Area Parking Requirements: Table 1: Parking Calculations under Core Area and Non-Core Area Use Quantity Core Area Result Non-Core Area Result %Change Dwelling Units 358 1.4 per unit 501.20 if du>2000 sf, 2.5 / if du<2000, 2 716 30% Accom.

The Non-Core Area requirements are based on size of units, so the calculation may vary based on final unit layout. Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 2 It is important to note that some of the uses proposed in Ever Vail do not have a defined parking requirement and in those cases, the parking requirements are set by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The VRD and Ski School space, along with the spa, have been proposed at a rate of 1 per 1,000 sq. ft. of net floor area, similar to other projects recently approved in the Town of Vail. Chapter 12-10-12, Credit for Multiple Use Parking Facilities, also allows for a reduction to the parking when a single parking facility serves a variety of uses. The credit is based on a sliding scale, based on the total number of parking spaces provided. This additional reduction has been applied to other projects within the core areas of Vail in a similar fashion. In the case of Ever Vail, a 25% reduction is allowed (both under Core Area Parking Requirements and Non-Core Area Parking Requirements.) This equates to the following: Table 2: Comparison of Total Core Area and Non-Core Area Requirements with Reduction Core Area Parking Requirement with Non-Core Area Parking Requirement Percent Change Reduction with Reduction (Decrease from CA to Non-CA) 797.46 1,154.20 30.9% *Vail Resorts Mountain Operations has identified the need for 50 spaces so no reduction has been taken for this use under either the Core Area Parking Requirements or the Non-Core Area Parking Requirements. Neither the Core Area Parking Requirements, nor the 25% credit for multiple use is applicable to the parking obligations as outlined by the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. As a result, no reductions or credits are requested for the 400 public skier spaces or the 318 replacement spaces. To provide an analysis of the overall parking requirements, including the parking obligations as outlined in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the following table outlines Core Area Parking Requirement, compared to Non-Core Area Parking Requirements, with the obligation of the 400 public skier spaces, along with the 318 replacement parking spaces: Table 3: Comparison of Total Parking Requirements and Obligations under Core Area and Non-Core Area Requirements Core Area Parking Non-Core Area Percent Change Requirement Parking Requirement Parking for Proposed Uses 798 1,155 31% Parking Based on Obligations of LRMP 718 718 0% Total Parking 1,516 1,873 19% * Conclusions The text amendment to include Ever Vail into the Core Area Parking Requirements results in approximately a 30% decrease in parking requirements for the uses proposed on-site. Based on the total parking requirements and obligations, there is an overall 19% decrease in the total amount of parking proposed on-site, based on Core Area Parking Requirements. Due to the characteristics of Ever Vail, it is more appropriate to be within the Core Area Parking Requirements. Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 3 M E M O R A N D U M � � To: Planning and Environmental Commission From: Mauriello Planning Group, representing Mauriello Planning Group Vail Resorts Development Company Date: January 11, 2010 At each Planning and Environmental Commission meeting, certain topics will be addressed specifically. To simplify the process, for each meeting Mauriello Planning Group will provide a brief inemo summarizing the topic. More in-depth information can be found within the overall application. Circulation This memorandum covers the circulation elements of the Ever Vail plan. Input from our civil engineers, the Town, our trafFic expert, and our parking experts have all been incorporated in to the design of Ever Vail. Access and circulation is key to the success of any major development project. At Ever Vail the plan accommodates pedestrian, vehicular, transit, and bicycle circulation in a well thought out plan. The Ever Vail plan addresses many of the access and circulation issues that exist in the other core areas to ensure an efFicient function.

Access Points A, B, C, and D occur off the relocated South Frontage Road, while Access Points E and F occur on the Forest Road extension. (As the Frontage Road realignment has been reviewed and approved previously, an in-depth analysis of Frontage Road plans is not included in this memorandum.) The Frontage Road access points have been designed and spaced according to CDOT standards, and in some cases are designed beyond CDOT standards. In addition, the relocated South Frontage Road adjacent to I-70 allows for improved operations and efFiciency of the accesses as unsignalized "T" intersections. Access Point A is the access into public parking (400 skier spaces, Devo, and retail). Access Point B is the access to private residential parking and hotel shuttle drop-off. Access Point C is the access to the proposed Market Street. Market Street is designed for maximum flexibility. Currently, Market Street will handle two-way trafFic, but has the ability to be converted to one-way trafFic, or portions can be completely closed to vehicular trafFic for special events. Market Street serves as the access into the transit center, skier drop-off, the hotel porte-cochere, and resident check-in. Market Street exits back onto the Frontage Road via Access Point D, which is a right-out exit only access. Market Street also exits onto the Forest Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 2 Road extension, via Access Point E, which is a full movement intersection. Access Point E is also the main access point for in-town buses. Finally, Access Point F provides the main access into the parking structure on the east portion of the site. Beyond this access point on the Forest Road extension, the roadway turns into a private drive, accessing the ERWSD lower parking lot, the Ever Vail loading and delivery structure, and Mountain Operations space. Due to the nature of vehicles on this section of road, the road has been designed to accommodate large delivery trucks needed for both Ever Vail and to service ERWSD. According to the TrafFic Impact Study, based on the proposed Ever Vail design, approximately 3,930 daily weekday trips will be generated by the project. Of these, 251 trips are expected to occur during the weekday morning peak hour, while 385 trips are expected to occur during the weekday afternoon peak hour. The TrafFic Impact Study indicates that the Ever Vail project will be successfully incorporated into the future roadway network and all accesses and the Frontage Road/Forest Road roundabout will operate acceptably. Specific recommendations of the TrafFic Report have been incorporated into the design of Ever Vail. * Parking Areas, Skier Drop-Off, and Access As presented previously, there are approximately 1,551 parking spaces currently proposed at Ever Vail. The vast majority of the spaces are located entirely underground. Access to the parking spaces occurs in three primary areas: two on the west side and one on the east side. This spacing allows for compliance with CDOT standards and minimal impacts to the level of service for the Frontage Road. Right and left turn lanes have been provided at the parking structure access points along the South Frontage Rd. While not necessary according to CDOT Access Standards, acceleration lanes have also been provided. Access A is devoted to public skier parking spaces (400 spaces), along with some commercial (31 spaces) and employee parking (38 parkingAccessPoints spaces). (There are an � additional 7 spaces that � �E�E,�o: -��'�'''` may be devoted to the _",r,t��, ��,�� �� - club.) Access B is devoted R� .�.

Core Area Parking Requirements 1/11/10 3 Included in the 1,551 parking spaces are approximately 64 short-term spaces currently designated on the Ever Vail plans. Of these, 14 spaces are located within the transit center. These 14 spaces are intended to function as skier drop-off spaces during peak hours, and as short-term shopper spaces during off-peak hours. These spaces are located approximately 600 ft. from the gondola, making these spaces the most convenient drop off spaces of any currently existing with the Town of Vail. Along with these spaces, an additional 50 spaces within the western structure are currently designated as short- term spaces. These spaces have been identified as DEVO drop-off, as all DEVO functions will be relocated to Ever Vail, relieving the existing congestion at Gold Peak. On non-DEVO days, these spaces will be short-term skier drop-off and/or shopper parking. Provided along with this memorandum, is a report by Carl Walker Parking, outlining the interior design of the parking structures and recommendations to improve internal efFiciency, which have been incorporated into the Ever Vail plans. These recommendations include a pay-on-foot system which will help improve efFiciency and allow for a high level of service, along with reducing trafFic delays and congestion on the entry and exit ramps. *Transit Circulation Ever Vail has been designed to incorporate transit uses within the site. As currently proposed, a 4-bus bay transit center has been included on the eastern portion of the site. These bus bays are intended to Transit Connections � LEGEND: Q ECOTRANSIT=EAST6IXIN� RO�TE 8 ST� 10v W ESi vAiL - EASTBOVNP � RP�TE & STO?5 , 10V WESiVAIL� WESTBOUNO I � ROUTE85T� 10v IN TOWN SkUTTLE ROUTE & STOPS � � sron urvoeR sruov roR `�+ F�TIIREIMPLEMENTATfDN i��' � � , v ���. � ��A�Ec +� VAIL {� I �. o., � \ oPS � �a�n.a�s��,nE ` ` \ -.

These four bays will be more than adequate to serve these uses; however, due to the flexibility of Market Street, any overflow of transit uses can be accommodated on Market Street, with no impact to the Frontage Road system. Of note, this transit center is located directly below the proposed ofFice uses at Ever Vail, allowing local employees to take advantage of the regional transit system. This type of transit-oriented development is a key component of the Ever Vail sustainability plan. In addition to the transit center, the in-town bus route will be extended to Ever Vail. In order to keep this loop efFicient, the Town has requested that the bus route be located on the eastern portion of the site, using Access Points E and D, along with the roundabout, as its access into the site. A bus stop located generally in front of the proposed market has been provided. Finally, on the western portion of the site, a location for hotel shuttle drop-off has been provided. � Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation Similarly to Vail Village and Lionshead, the pedestrian and bicycle circulation within Ever Vail has been key to the design of this primarily pedestrian village. In addition to the circulation within Ever Vail, the connections to the remainder of the community have been key in the design. Ever Vail's location make it a key connection between Cascade Village and Lionshead Village, and the existing Gore Creek Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation � LEGEN�: PEOESTRIAN �� BICYCLE PATH Y''�'o"� ., o��//��� . �/ Cao � �LAGE �� vpi� f� � '�i�.� 11 F��`�.,� i �� � ' � �'� � � /� ' �i�� ' , ,osw./ �, � � _ r 'fl . �. � ' �►. ► � �� 4�ONSHEAo PARKING GAR4GE � I� �`� uu� _� � �� ; � / � �" � �r � _; ��` � �rz - �,� � � � � � ' a� � �_,`� . ��,� � '�' ♦ � ��� c� ; , � �4 ���". r .■ i'�'�" � ��� � ���� }�'R ,-.. ^f ;':���� a� _ ,�.,� -----------� f I` �` � ; ""° �y���* - - - Y _- �-�,----ono- - -� �����_�_7__ _ -- - --���� � _ _'� �.

In addition, the north side of the Frontage Road will be adequately sized to accommodate cyclists. A second, separated, mixed-use, 12 ft-wide path has been approved along the south side of Frontage Road along the entire Ever Vail site, allowing for multiple points of entry into Ever Vail. Improvements will be made to the path which crosses Gore Creek, allowing for a much more gentle grade than exists today. Improvements to the pedestrian connection along the south side of West Lionshead Circle between Ever Vail and Lionshead in front of the Ritz and the Mariott have already been completed or are currently under construction. Improvements to the north side of West Lionshead Circle are contemplated under redevelopment scenarios for the Vail Spa and already approved at Strata and is currently listed as a project in the Urban Renewal Plan for Lionshead. The recreation path in front of Gore Creek Place has already been completed and provides for a more serene alternative pedestrian route into Lionshead. �( Conclusions Meeting the needs for all modes of transportation has been a challenging endeavor but the result is an efFicient and well thought out plan for addressing the goal of making ever Vail fit in seamlessly with the current transportation facilities within the Town. The plan builds upon many of the successes in the other villages while resolving some of the shortcomings. This is first redevelopment project in Vail to significantly address all of these modes of transportation including significant parking available to the public, transit, efFicient mountain access, and skier drop-off.

Project No. N3-2008-344 Dear Kjell, Callison Architects engaged Carl Walker, Inc. to conduct a review of the conceptual garage plans for the Ever Vail project to be constructed in Vail, Colorado (plans dated November 1 l, 2009). We understand that two parking structures are proposed for this development. They consist of the following: West Parkina Structure Three levels below grade level with a parking capacity of approximately 670 spaces. This facility has a dedicated public entry/exit portal on the north side of the structure and a dedicated residential entry/exit portal on the east side of the structure from the South Frontage Rd. Internal express ramps and single helix park- on-ramps are used for vertical vehicular circulation. East Parkina Structure Three levels below grade level with a parking capacity of approximately 870 spaces. This structure has a dedicated entry/exit portal on the south side of the development from Forest Road for public and resident use. Two internal express ramps are used for vertical vehicular circulation. Each entry and exit lane will have Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS) equipment components to record and maintain daily transactions for transient, resident and monthly patrons. The PARCS equipment will be online with a facility management software system. The PARCS software will be located on a computer in the security/parking office where parking activity, revenue transactions, and facility totals by user groups can be monitored and managed by the parking operations group. Transient patrons will use an automated cashiering system known as Pay-on-Foot (POF). Upon entry, transient patrons will pull a ticket from a ticket dispenser machine at the entry lane to enter the parking structure. When leaving, the transient patron inserts the parking ticket into a centrally- located cashiering station (POF inachine) on a primary pedestrian path before returning to their vehicle. The POF inachine calculates the parking fee based on the length of stay. The POF inachines can accept cash, credit cards, smart cards and 2801 Network Blvd., Suite 101 Frisco, TX 75034 P. 214.619.0700 F. 214.619.0705 www.carlwalker.com validations, and can also return change when appropriate. After the patron pays the parking fee, the POF inachine would return the patron's parking ticket. The patron inserts their parking ticket into a lag-time exit verifier at the exit lane and the barrier gate opens if the fee has been paid. Due to the parking structure configuration and parking allocation, POF units are located at each public elevator/escalator core on each level. This revenue operation and number of POF units provide a high level of service (LOS). It also reduces traffic delays and congestion on the entry and exit ramps. The current parking design and ramping configuration is acceptable and adequate to accommodate the planned development. However, any future structural changes implemented by the design team could affect the adequacy of the current design. After a review of the proposed parking structures, we have prepared the following comments to improve the level of service (LOS) and functionality of each proposed structure: a) POF represents relatively new technology that may not be well understood by some patrons. Special signage would be required to inform patrons to take their parking tickets with them and to pay for parking in advance of vehicle retrieval. Exit verifiers with credit card capabilities should be located at each exit lane for those transient patrons that do not understand the operation or forget to utilize the POF inachines. b) The West Parking Structure has the capacity for two entry lanes and two exit lanes for public use. The center lane is a reversible lane to accommodate peak traffic conditions. The East Parking Structure has two dedicated entry lanes and two dedicated exit lanes for public use. This lane configuration provides a high level of service (LOS) for anticipated visitor parking demand. c) Resident and monthly patrons should use an Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) transponder or tag to enter and exit each parking facility. AVI consists of a transponder or tag that is applied to the windshield or bumper of a vehicle, or is hung from the rearview mirror. The transponder sends a signal to a reader mounted near the lane that automatically opens the gate. It allows access without the driver having to stop or open their window. This mode of operation provides a high LOS at the entry/exit points and improves traffic flow on the inbound and outbound express ramps for each structure. d) One entry lane and one exit lane are "nested" in each parking structure for resident and monthly patrons. Resident and monthly patrons are partitioned from public use. This parking separation reduces traffic in the general public parking areas and improves security for resident and monthly patrons. -2- e) Vertical express ramps incorporated in each structure should not exceed 12% slope with transitional ramp blends at the top and bottom of each ramp. This slope design criterion has been followed in both structures. f) PARCS equipment (gates, ticket dispensers, exit verifiers, etc.) should not be located on a slope of more than 2.5%. Verify the slopes at PARCS equipment lanes comply with this recommendation. g) Inside vehicle turning radii should not be less than 15'-0". Some tight turns may exist due to structural constraints. Where feasible, remove walls and/or other structural components that may conflict with this criterion. h) Van accessible parking requires a minimum headroom clearance height of 8'-2". Verify if this is headroom clearance is achievable on the express ramps, drive aisles and in the general parking areas. Walls and columns adjacent to the express ramps could slow traffic circulation. Every effort should be made to provide wide drive lanes where possible. j) Vertical express ramps for two-way traffic should not have drives less than 24'- 0"clear width for straight ramps and 30'-0" clear width for curved ramps. This width requirement would provide a reasonable LOS on the express ramps. k) Based on the length of the express ramps and the flexibility in the parking operations with the PARCS equipment referenced earlier, we believe the vehicular queues are adequate to accommodate the proposed peak traffic demand. A high level of lighting is recommended at entry/exit portals, vertical express ramps, elevator/escalators/stairs, drive aisles, intersections of ramps, and at the PARCS equipment areas. A lighting photometric study for each level should be conducted to ensure appropriate footcandles (FC) have been achieved in the design. AREA INTENSITY (FC) Driving Aisles/Ramps 10-15 Parking Areas 7-10 Elevator Lobby/ Landing Areas of Stairs 20 Vehicular Entry/Exits 50* * Daytime intensity should be maintained within 50' of garage footprint for transitional conditions. Please reference our redlined comments sent to you earlier via e-mail for consideration to improve the efficiency, design and functionality of each structure. -3- We trust we have responded to your request to review the current design, and that our recommendations are helpful in the design process for this development. Thank you for giving Carl Walker this opportunity to be of service. Please call if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Carl Walker, Inc. Gregory A. Watts, Senior Parking Specialist/Project Manger -4- MEMORANDUM TO: Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 11, 2010 SUBJECT: A request for a work session for review of an Approved Development Plan, pursuant to section 12-61-11, Development Plan Required, Housing Zone District, Vail Town Code to allow for the redevelopment of a five (5) acre portion of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments, with up to 359 new deed-restricted employee housing units, located at 1280 North Frontage Road/ Lots C1-05, Lionsridge Subdivision, Filing No.1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090038) Applicant: Vail Timber Ridge, LLC and the Town of Vail Municipal Corporation Planner: George Ruther I. SUMMARY The applicant, Vail Timber Ridge, LLC and the Town of Vail Municipal Corporation, represented by Rick Pylman, of Pylman & Associates, are requesting a work session with the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission to present the proposed redevelopment plans for the redevelopment of a five (5) acre portion of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments, located at 1280 North Frontage Road. Presentation and discussion topics include: • A presentation of the revised preliminary plan set (site plan, landscape plan, grading plan, building elevations, etc.) • A summary of the next steps in the development review process II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicants are proposing to redevelop the easternmost 5.24 acres of the Timber Ridge Apartments development site and construct a five-story tall building extending 800 feet along the North Frontage Road (Attachment A— Vicinity Map). The new building will contain up to 359 new employee housing units capable of housing 570 employees with the existing western half of the site remaining operational throughout the redevelopment process. A new five-level enclosed parking garage will be constructed on the site along with improved public transit facilities to meet the minimum parking and transportation needs of the development. As this is a work session, the applicants and staff are not requesting a final review at this time. Instead, the Commission is being asked to actively engage in a presentation and discussion about the proposed project. As such, the staff recommends that the Commission provides direction on the following questions: • The applicants shall be required to submit a complete application to the Town of Vail Community Development for review. According to the Zoning Regulations, the Administrator may require the submission of additional plans, drawings, specifications, samples, and other materials if deemed necessary to properly evaluate a proposal. Are there any additional submittal materials that the Commission requires of the applicants to ensure that the proposal can be properly evaluated? III��7�������C�7�rC�]�C�� Open House Summary On December 30, 2009, the Town of Vail Community Development Department hosted an open house to share the proposed redevelopment plans with the community. Approximately 25-30 people attended the one hour long meeting. The following is a summary of the public input received: • What impacts will the proposed level of density have on the Town's bus service? • What impacts will the proposed level of density have on the demand for existing deed-restricted rental units already existing in town? • Do the future residents of Timber Ridge need to live or work in the Town of Vail? • The 5,000 square foot clubhouse amenities only add to the bulk and mass of the building. Should the Town of Vail be subsidizing a"hea/th club" for residents of affordable housing projects? • What is the impact of the pre-development agreement executed between the Vail Town Council and Vail Timber Ridge, LLC? • The north elevation as presently proposed and designed looks more like a prison than a residential apartment building. • The proposed building is too large as a result of a very aggressive program. • The public transit stop improvements are much needed. • Will the existing encroachment on the Savoy Villas property be remedied as a result of the redevelopment project? • Are the new residential units for sale or for rent? What is proposed for the western one-half of the Timber Ridge site. • Moving the bulk and mass from the east to the west appears to be a great solution for matching the character and scale of the neighborhood. • What level of vacancy presently exists at the Timber Ridge and Middle Creek? Revised Plans The applicant has been before the Town of Vail Design Review Board and the Planning and Environmental Commission for several conceptual review and worksession discussions. An open house was hosted to share the project with the community to gain public comment on the project. Additionally, the staff and the applicant have spent a significant amount of time working through many of the technical aspects of the projects. As a result, the applicant has revised the proposed plans to respond to the input and feedback received. The following bullets highlight the revisions made to the plans to date: • The two-way drive aisle with parallel parking along the south edge of the building has 2 been eliminated and replaced with a twenty-foot wide, combined fire lane and pedestrian/bike path. As a result, the amount of asphalt and other impervious area has been reduced and the amount of landscape area has been increased. • The existing public transit stop has been reconfigured to improved increased bus transit capabilities and capacity to the entire Timber Ridge site. • The retaining wall configuration and design has been modified to reduce the steepness of the slope on the north side of the parking garage, reduce the amount of exposed building fa�ade and increase opportunities for landscaping to break down the visible mass of the building and screen the top deck of the parking garage from public view. • The bulk and mass of the proposed building has been reduced on the east end of the project and displaced to the west end of the project to improve the compatibility of the new building with the existing buildings located at Savoy Villas. • The outdoor courtyard located next to the clubhouse has been enclosed on the ground level of the building. • The retaining wall heights have been increased along the north side of the building. As a result, a variance application for wall heights in excess of six feet tall will be submitted for review and consideration. Geologic Hazard and Rockfall Mitigation Report According to the Official Town of Vail Hazard Maps, the proposed development site is located with a high severity rockfall hazard zone. Pursuant to Chapter 12-21, Hazard Regulations, Vail Town Code, "If the finding of the engineer orgeo/ogist performing the site specific geo/ogic investigation is that the site is a geo/ogically sensitive area, but that corrective engineering or engineered construction or other mitigation or a/terations can be accomplished so that there is no increased hazard to other property or structures, or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or facilities, the issuance of a building or grading permit shall be conditiona/ and contingent upon approva/ of plans forcorrective engineering orengineered construction orothermitigation oralterations as setforth in this Section. " The applicant has submitted a preliminary geologic site assessment and preliminary rockfall risk and mitigation study to the Community Development Department. The site assessment concludes that the proposed development site is in fact located within a geologically sensitive rockfall hazard area, and as such, corrective engineering or engineered construction or other mitigation or alterations are required. In the preliminary mitigation study, the geologic engineer recommends four options for mitigating the rockfall hazard. Of the four corrective engineering options, one option is onsite and three options are off-site on town owned open space land. At this time, a preferred method and location has not yet been selected. Regardless, none of the options recommended by the geologic engineer require changes or alterations to the proposed building. A final option will be selected and proposed prior to final review of the redevelopment application. 3 IV. Next Steps The applicant has submitted a development review application to the Town of Vail Community Development for review. The final review of the application by the Planning and Environmental Commission is currently scheduled for Monday, February 8, 2010 and by the Design Review Board on February 17, 2010. As an immediate next step in the review process, the town staff will review the application for completeness and compliance with the applicable Town Codes. Further, the Vail Town Council will be provided a progress update at their regularly schedule public hearings on both January 19 and March 2, 2010.

Frontage Road - Vail, Colorado, 81657 MEMBERS ABSENT None (Susie Tjossem elected to Town Council Scott Lindall resigned) Site Visits: None 45 minutes 1. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council for the establishment of a new special development district, pursuant to Article 12-9A, Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, located at 303 Gore Creek Drive, Units 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 (Vail Rowhouses)/Lots 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, Block 5, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090037) Applicant: Christopher Galvin, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Bill Gibson ACTION: Tabled to January 11, 2010 MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE:5-0-0 Matt Mire, Town Attorney, explained that Commissioner Kjesbo had a question regarding conflicts of interest and after a conversation it was determined that he has no conflict of interest regarding this item under Colorado law. Bill Gibson gave a presentation on the history of the project. He explained the distinction between Staff's support for the proposed development standards of the SDD, but Staff's recommendation of denial due to the proposal exclusion of Lot 11 from the proposed district. Commissioner Pierce asked Bill Gibson to further elaborate on the purpose of the SDD district. Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, gave a power point presentation on the history of the development, the purpose of the application, and the changes to the application since the PEC's last review. He requested that today the PEC hold a work session addresses the issue raised in the Staff inemorandum about the SDD process and concerns about the proposal raised by the owner of Lot 11, and requested that the discussion of the SDD development standards be tabled to the PEC next hearing for discussion. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to applicant's ability to request a tabling. He further inquired if Lot 11's joint property owner approval was required for the application. Bill Gibson clarififed that the applicant could request a work session and tabling; and that historically Lots 7-13 of the Vail Row Houses have been treated as individual development sites and Lot 11 a sign-off is required for an application by the other Vail Row House lot owners. Commissioner Kurz inquired as to several engineering issued identified in Peter Monroe's letters. Page 1 Mark Mueller, applicant's structural engineer, answered the questions. Commissioner Viele suggested that the issue of structural engineering should be addressed during the building permit process and is not part of the PEC's purview. Dolph Bridgewater, the owner of Lot 11, identified himself and the length of time he has owned the property. He noted his original support of the applicant's proposal to create an SDD to streamline the review process, and then explained his later concerns about the applicant specific development plans that he believed could cause physical damage to his property. He asked the applicant's engineer, Mark Mueller, several questions about the building's foundation, snow loading and drifting, etc. He further referenced his concern that selectively removing one property from an SDD application was not good public policy. He further highlighted that the current zoning could be accomplished through variances, however, he believes that the variances will result in construction adjacent to his property which could cause harm. Mark Mueller spoke to a question regarding snow drifting and adjacent properties. He stated that starting in January there will be Building Code requirements to address snow drifting on adjacent properties. Mr. Bridgewater concluded that he was concerned with the scale of the development that could occur and the potential damage it could cause for his property. John Dunn, legal representative for the Bridgewater's, spoke to several statements made by Mr. Mauriello and Mr. Mire. The party wall agreements were written in 1962 and are not particularly detailed. He added that the application for the SDD will fundamentally put the shared walls of Lot 11 and the adjacent properties into two different zone districts. He noted that "spot zoning" is a difficult legal term to define, but "you know it when you see it". Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, inquired as to the depiction of units 1-6 being on the elevation that was presented. He further went on to described that property owners deserve equal treatment under the Town Code and that many of the Vail Row House properties have already redeveloped through the variance process. Since all the properties share a common theme and have small lots in the High Density Multiple-Family District, they should be treated equally. He recommended that a new zone district should be created (instead of an SDD) to address properties such as the Vail Row Houses and the Texas Townhomes. He questioned whether a neighbor could redevelop and cause another neighbor to require structural improvements to their property. He submitted that the Commission should be addressing Lot 11's engineering concerns as part of their building bulk, mass, and height deliberations. Commissioners Pierce and Kjesbo asked the applicant to provide cross section drawings at the next hearing to clarify to the proposed building heights. He concluded by stating that allowing for segmented SDDs sets in motion a precedence for hop-scotching around with the overlay zoning which is not prudent planning. While the applicant states that the Code does not state that an SDD can be used in the manner proposed he pointed out that the Town code is prohibitive on issues which it does not address. Commissioner Paladino asked if the applicants could request the same development proposal through a different process such as variances. Bill Gibson stated that they could ask for the same development through the variance process. Dominic Mauriello noted that the applicant is asking for additional GRFA and density differences that might be difficult to achieve through the variance process. Page 2 Commissioner Kurz discussed the issue of equity and fairness, and noted concern about creating an undesirable precedence. Commissioner Paladino noted her support for the redevelopment concepts of the SDD, but expressed concern that a unit was being excluded from the application. Commissioner Viele stated that he supported the original application, but believes the owners should move forward individually with redevelopment plans. He recommended the applicant consider the variance process, rather than applying for an SDD. He mentioned the need to discuss the Building Code issues regarding snow drifting. Commissioner Kjesbo also noted his support for the original proposal. He inquired into the status of Units 1 through 6 and their potential involvement in any SDD. Kyle Webb, stated that they had been working with Units 1 through 6, but the group had not committed to being co-applicants at this time. Commissioner Kjesbo inquired that whether the property owners will move forward regardless of the SDD being adopted. He expressed his desire to have Lot 11 included in the SDD appplication. Commissioner Pierce stated that he agreed with Jim Lamont's recommendation of creating a new townhouse zone district. He asked the applicants to clarify the intent of the eave height limit at the next hearing. He commented that the variance process would allow the Commission better control of the compatibility of redevelopment of the Vail Row Houses than the SDD process. 60 minutes 2. A request for a work session on a major exterior alterations, pursuant to Section 12-71-7, Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the redevelopment of the area known as "Ever Vail" (West Lionshead), with multiple mixed-use structures including but not limited to, multiple-family dwelling units, fractional fee units, accommodation units, employee housing units, office, and commercial/retail uses, located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031 South Frontage Road West, and the South Frontage Road West right-of-way/Unplatted (a complete legal description is available for inspection at the Town of Vail Community Development Department), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC080064) Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell ACTION: Tabled to January 11, 2010 MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 4-0-1 (Viele recused) Commissioner Viele recused due to his ownership interest in the Glen Lyon Office Building. Warren Campbell made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum. Tom Miller, of Vail Resorts Development Company, spoke on behalf of the applicant. He began the presentation by identifying the changes to the proposal, including the addition of the Glen Lyon Office Building to the development site, the addition of commercial space for the Vail Recreation District as well as the amendments to building height as it relates to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The presentation included an analysis of floor plates, including ground floor through the sixth floor, with discussion of the types of uses on each floor and how the buildings interact with each other. Next, Mr. Miller discussed the layout and circulation of parking on the site. He also touched upon the types of parking products that are proposed on Page 3 site, including day skier parking, public shopper parking, valet parking, mountain operation parking and parking for property owners. Dominic Mauriello, representing the applicant, provided a schedule for the review of the applications by the various reviewing bodies. He added that a community open house is scheduled for December 30, and will help familiarize the public with the project. He then laid out a schedule for PEC work sessions into 2010. Mr. Mauriello then made a presentation on the parking analysis for the project. He stated that the required parking, per Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code, is 798 spaces. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan also calls for 718 spaces on site. While the total is 1,516 spaces, the applicant is currently proposing 1,551 spaces. He reviewed the breakdown of the parking requirements, including required parking for residential, replacement, commercial, skier and other parking. He stated that there are numerous uses that the PEC must determine parking requirements, including spa, VRD space, and ski school parking. The applicant is proposing 1 space per 1,000 square feet. He also stated that the maintenance facility does not have standardized requirements, and the applicant is proposing 50 spaces, based on current needs at a similar facility. Mr. Mauriello stated that the applicant is requesting to be included in the commercial core as it relates to parking requirements. Mr. Mauriello continued by discussing the total parking structure capacity as it relates to skiers served. EverVail's parking structure would have more spaces than Vail Village and Lionshead structures, but would serve less skiers. Tom Allender, Director of Resort Planning at Vail Resorts and Beaver Creek, made a presentation on parking requirements as it relates to the ski mountain. Mr. Allender noted that most people enter the ski mountain through Lionshead. He provided an overview of overflow parking and frontage road skier portal distribution. Mr. Allender reviewed the new gondola operation, including capacity, speed and potential capacity. He then discussed the Ever Vail skier population, and how that relates to available parking on site. Mr. Allender stated that the parking structure in Ever Vail would accommodate all frontage road overflow parking, except one overflow day that occurred in 2009. He stated that Ever Vail would take a 10% share of skiers, which would reduce the number of skiers loading onto the mountain for other portals. He summarized his findings, including an increased population at Eagle's Nest, Chair 2 and Chair 7, a significant reduction in overflow parking, and a 22% increase in public parking. Mr. Allender noted that Ever Vail will not affect the mountains ability to manage the number of people on the mountain. Tom Miller summarized the presentations made to the PEC. He also touched upon construction parking and the increase in capacity since some of the parking studies were conducted. Mr. Miller stated that the reason that Vail Resorts is pursuing this project is because they want to advance the mountain as well as the community. There were no public comments. Warren Campbell stated that the Town is working on responding to the proposal. He asked the PEC if they wanted Staff or the applicant to come prepared with any additional information at the next meeting. Commissioner Michael Kurz stated that he wants to hear about how the parking relates to other topics, including retail mix, construction mitigation and other interrelated topics. He also wants information about how the retail will relate to other villages, and how it will affect business in other commercial core areas. Commissioner Paladino asked about discussions with the Forest Service regarding skiing down to Ever Vail. Page 4 Tom Allender responded that the issue is not with the Forest Service, but with private property owners and the difficulty of the terrain. He stated that the download time is 3 minutes on the gondola, and this model is very successful in Heavenly. Commissioner Kjesbo asked whether the replacement parking would be available to employees only. Dominic Mauriello responded that the parking spaces would be available to the public, but it should be anticipated that those spaces would be taken up by employees. Commissioner Kjesbo asked whether the Town of Vail would operate the parking structure. Tom Miller responded that if the Town of Vail would participate in construction costs, they could share in operation and revenue from the parking structure. However, at this point, it seems that Vail Resorts would run the parking structure. Dominic Mauriello then posed questions to the commissioners, including whether the parking structure should be on a separate parcel than the rest of the development, as well as parking requirements and excess parking. Commissioner Pierce requested more information on phasing, bus service, circulation, uses and parking requirements. He asked for more information at the next meeting. Dominic Mauriello stated that the phasing plans will be explained at a later date, but the applicant wanted to present the final product prior to dissecting the complex phasing plan. Commissioner Kurz reminded the applicant that signage will be an important aspect of the application. 60 minutes 3. A request for a work session on a proposed Development Plan, pursuant to section 12-61-11, Development Plan Required, Housing Zone District, to allow for the redevelopment of a five (5) acre portion of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments, with up to 352 new deed-restricted employee housing units, located at 1280 North Frontage Road/ Lots C1-05, Lions Ridge Subdivision, Filing No.1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC090038) Applicant: Timber Ridge Affordable Housing Committee Planner: George Ruther ACTION: Tabled to January 11, 2010 MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Viele VOTE: 5-0-0 George Ruther made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum. He stated that the purpose of this work session is for the applicant to provide preliminary plans and to allow the Commissioners to provide input to the developer. Walter Hughes, a representative of the applicant, made a presentation that included a response to the comments made by the PEC at the joint work session with Council. Specifically, the applicant responded to concerns over lack of mountain architecture and the continuous roofline. In response to those comments, the building was split up into townhouse-looking buildings, with stepping of height towards the frontage road. The applicant also broke up the rooflines and increased landscaping on site. The increased landscaping was placed in locations previously reserved for guest parking. Those spaces were removed from the proposal, as were several units from the proposal to accommodate roof articulation. He stated that another change to the project is the addition of some balconies. Page 5 Diane Golden, a neighbor, asked if there were any sun shade analysis for effects on Lions Ridge Loop. Walter Hughes responded that the analysis has not been done, but can be done at any time. George Ruther added that the applicant will be required to submit the sun shade analysis with the final application. Diane Golden asked about landscaping on the parking structure. Walter Hughes stated that there are requirements for drive lanes that limit landscaping on the structure, but more landscaping will be added. Diane Golden added that the front of the building is nice but she is concerned that the back of the building will not look as nice. Walter Hughes responded that there would be similar features on the back of the building. Commissioner Paladino asked if the building had moved towards the Frontage Road. Walter Hughes responded that it had not. Commissioner Paladino added that it would be difficult to landscape the back of the building. George Ruther added that there may be opportunities to move the building towards Lionsridge Loop to improve the landscaping on the Frontage Road side of the property. Commissioner Paladino stated that a site visit should occur to help the commissioners understand the site better. Diane Golden asked about the future development of the west half of the property. Walter Hughes said he could not comment on that portion of the site. Commissioner Kurz asked what the length of the frontage of the building was. Commissioner Viele responded that the plans showed 808 feet of length. Steve Lindstrom, representative of the Vail Local Housing Authority, reminded the Commission that the goal of the Town and the Housing Authority is to provide long-term affordable housing on the site and that this project helps achieve that goal. Commissioner Pierce stated that the massing of the building is tough to digest, and while affordability is essential, the Commission may need architectural support from someone like Jeff Winston. He stated that he would like to see height variations, and even the current rendition of the project does not appear to be anything less than one mass of building. Commissioner Viele stated that this building is extremely large, and while there is a need for employee housing, this building is long. He added that the building face is about 60,000 square feet. Page 6 Commissioner Kurz stated that the courtyards really help with relief from the bulk of the building. However, the back of the building is what is concerning from a design standpoint. It seems as though the rear roofline is being hidden, but it will be seen from above. He stated his concern about meeting the housing district's goal of creating housing, which is stifled by courtyards and other cutouts used for visual relief. George Ruther stated that this may be the largest building of this form within the Town of Vail, but when looking at the 3D model, it helps to put the building into perspective. These different vantage points of the building can to be analyzed and manipulated in order to truly understand the layout and impact of the building on the surrounding area. He pointed out that the parking structure for the project is approximately one-third of the bulk and mass of the structure. Commissioner Paladino stated that a better 3D model will help to understand the relief provided by the courtyards. She also requested that more landscaping be placed on the site. Commissioner Pierce stated that the symmetry of the building is working against the project. He again suggested that Jeff Winston provide input to help the Commission analyze the project. Commissioner Viele asked what the goal is for the Town in terms of numbers of beds. George Ruther responded that the goal is to provide employee housing within the Town. This project is completely for rent housing but the other half may develop as for-sale housing as well. Commissioner Pierce stated that the north side (rear) of the building is absolutely awful, but there may be little to help the situation. There needs to be extensive landscaping on the hillside to help mitigate the building from Lions Ridge Loop. A solution through landscaping will greatly help the project. Walter Hughes responded that the applicant will be working on the retaining walls. George Ruther added that there are extensive retaining walls that need to be in place for this project, ranging from 11 feet to 40 feet tall. He added that the applicant has designed the project with the goal of no variance from Vail Town Code. There are some opportunities to configure the retaining walls so that the walls are within the structure. Each time the issue surfaces, there are a set of new challenges that come up for the project. The applicant has highlighted opportunities to explore several options to mitigate some of the architectural issues on site. Commissioner Viele stated that the legislative goal of 570 units could not be accomplished without a design similar to this project. He wondered if that goal would be appropriate for the site, but the goal seems to be set in stone. Brian Gillette, DRB member, stated that the DRB suggested that the building be broken up to look like several structures developed at different times. He added that the developer broke up the building but repeated the pattern of architecture, which has not accomplished the goal of the DRB. Commissioner Kurz stated that the building can be broken up properly, and should include some recesses on the south (front) side of the building. Commissioner Pierce stated that the he is concerned about the massing and whether it is acceptable. He noted that there will be two new commissioners at the next meeting, so their opinions will need to be taken into account. Page 7 Walter Hughes asked if the majority of the Commissioners are concerned about massing. Commissioner Pierce stated that the massing is a concern. Commissioners Kurz and Paladino stated that the massing is what it is, so they don't know if anything can change. George Ruther stated that there could be solutions to break up the massing of the building, including some of the north side of the building, by reducing the courtyards. Commissioner Kjesbo stated he does not like the building, but there are limitations to the building. However, if the number of pillows is the goal, there is little to change the project. Commissioner Paladino asked if the parking requirement could be changed. George Ruther responded that parking requirements could be reduced with a parking management plan. He added that the current parking scheme is efficient and any changes would come at a cost to the circulation and efficiency of the project. Commissioner Pierce commented that the massing could be shuffled by changing the parking scenario. 40 minutes 4.
