Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: February 13, 2012
SUBJECT: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed
regulations amendment, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail
Town Code, to amend Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code, to
allow for the maintenance of adopted view corridors impacted by
vegetation, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC110056)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Warren Campbell
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, the Town of Vail, is requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town
Council, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for
amendments to Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, and Section 14- 10 -3C, Site
Planning, Vail Town Code to allow for the maintenance of adopted view corridors
impacted by vegetation.
Staff initiated this application at the direction of the Vail Town Council as a result
of an identified need to address the impacts of maturing landscaping upon
designated view corridors. As a result, Staff is proposing amendments to the
existing view corridor regulations that allow for design review of proposals to alter
the vegetation impacting adopted view corridors.
Based on the criteria and findings in Section V of this memorandum, and the
testimony presented at the public hearing, Staff recommends the Planning and
Environmental Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Vail
Town Council for this application.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Currently within the Town of Vail there are 10 adopted view corridors. These
view corridors were established to protect, perpetuate, and preserve views from
pedestrian public ways determined to be important to the aesthetic and economic
vitality of the town. There is no view corridor with a view point origination located
upon private property. Many of the adopted view corridors cross over private
property and impact the development permitted upon those properties.
Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code, is proposed to be amended in
part as follows (text to be deleted is in strikethre irrh text that is to be added is
bold, and sections of text that are not amended have been omitted):
12 -22 -3: LANDSCAPING:
The alteration, removal, and replacement of landscaping may be
necessary to maintain the original purposes of the preserved views
established in this Chapter.
12 -22 -6: ENCROACHMENTS INTO EXISTING VIEW CORRIDORS:
No part of a structure shall be permitted to encroach into any view
corridor set forth in this chapter unless an encroachment is
approved in accordance with this section.
An application for approval to encroach into an existing view corridor may
be initiated by the town council on its own motion, by the planning and
environmental commission on its own motion, or by application of any
resident or property owner in the town, or by the administrator or his /her
designee.
A. Application Information For Encroachments: An application for an
encroachment shall be filed with the department of community
development on a form to be prescribed by the administrator. The
application shall include the following information:
1. A summary or description of the proposed encroachment.
2. Names and addresses of property owners located within five
hundred feet (500) of the proposed encroachment.
3. Photographs of the existing view corridor. The photographs shall be
marked with tape to identify the existing view corridor boundaries,
and shall show the proposed encroachment. The photographs shall
be taken from the view point origination at the same height as
identified in the legal descriptions in section 12 -22 -4 of this chapter.
4. The department of community development may require models,
overlays, sketches or other submittal requirements to show how the
proposed encroachment could impact the protected view corridor.
5. An application for an encroachment may require review by
consultants other than town staff. Should a determination be made
Town of Vail Page 2
by the town staff that an outside consultant is needed to review an
encroachment application, the department of community
development shall obtain the approval of the town council for the
hiring of such a consultant. Upon approval of the town council to
hire an outside consultant, the department of community
development shall estimate the amount of money necessary to pay
the outside consultant, and this amount shall be forwarded to the
town by the applicant at the time the encroachment is submitted to
the department of community development. Upon completion of the
review of the application by the consultant, any of the funds
forwarded by the applicant for payment of the consultant which
have not been paid to the consultant, shall be returned to the
applicant. Expenses incurred by the town in excess of the amount
forwarded by the applicant shall be paid to the town by the
applicant within thirty (30) days of notification by the town.
B. Notice And Hearing Procedure. Notice and hearing on an application
for an encroachment into an existing view corridor shall be in accordance
with subsection 12 -22 -58 of this chapter.
C. Criteria For Encroachment: No encroachment into an existing view
corridor shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates by clear and
convincing evidence that the encroachment meets all of the following
criteria.
1. That the literal enforcement of this chapter SeG40P 12 -22-3 Gf
t4s Ghapt&F would preclude a reasonable development of a
proposed structure on the applicant's land.
2. That the development of the structure proposed by the applicant
would not be such as to defeat the purposes of this chapter.
3. That the development proposed by the applicant would not be
detrimental to the enjoyment of public pedestrian areas, public
ways, public spaces, or public views.
4. That the development proposed by the applicant complies with
applicable elements of the Vail land use plan, town policies,
urban design guide plans, and other adapted master plans.
5. That the proposed structure will not diminish the integrity or
quality nor compromise the original purpose of the preserved
view.
In addition to the amendments detailed above, Staff recommends that Section
14- 10 -3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, be amended as follows in order to
clarify the unique nature of designated view corridors with regard to vegetation.
Section 14- 10 -3C, Site Planning, Vail Town Code, is proposed to be amended in
part as follows (text to be deleted is in strikethre g text that is to be added is
bold, and sections of text that are not amended have been omitted):
Town of Vail Page 3
C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited
to removal of those essential for development of the site, those identified
as diseased, er those essential for creating defensible space, and those
detrimental to the original purpose of the adopted view corridors
identified in Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code.
Mitigation may be required for tree removal.
III. BACKGROUND
On August 3, 2011 the Design Review Board unanimously denied an application
to remove existing trees along the north bank of Gore Creek west of the Covered
Bridge. These proposed landscaping changes were intended to clear the view of
the Gorsuch clock tower from the Vail Transportation Center stairs as established
in view corridor 1. The minutes of the hearing are reflected as follows:
"The Design Review Board (DRB) cited Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors,
Vail Town Code which contained no provisions for the "maintenance" of
view corridors with regard to vegetation. Furthermore, Section 14- 10 -3C,
Site Planning, Vail Town Code, states the following:
"C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be
limited to removal of those essential for development of the site, those
identified as diseased or those essential for creating defensible space.
Mitigation may be required for tree removal."
The DRB has consistently used this regulation to prevent the removal
of vegetation for the sole purpose of obtaining a view to a landmark
(commonly the Gore Range or the ski mountain). The DRB was
concerned about allowing the Town to perform an action which is
consistently denied for private property owners as this request occurs
frequently.
The DRB understood the concern of the encroachment of the
vegetation on the view corridor and had several suggestions and
concerns. There was a concern that the removal of the trees would
expose a roof material and a building which might have a negative
effect if it became completely exposed. The Board highlighted that
the original design intent of Eldon Beck was to limit the view to short
distances into the Village and create an element of surprise. It was
stated that the trees frame the Covered Bridge and are solely a
summer problem, and does this warrant removal.
The DRB suggested that the Town Council direct staff to prepare
amendments to Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code, to
include provisions for "maintenance" of a view corridor with regard to
vegetation which established a set of criteria by which an evaluation
Town of Vail Page 4
could be made. It was further suggested that Section 14- 10 -3C, Site
Planning, Vail Town Code, would be improved with the addition of
provisions and criteria for the evaluation of the removal of vegetation
that may have been improperly cited during original installation and
after a number of years has impacted important views. A requirement
for replacement should accompany any provision allowing for this."
On September 6, 2011, the Vail Town Council unanimously upheld the call -up of
the Design Review Board's denial of the application for landscaping changes on
the northwest side of the Covered Bridge. The Vail Town Council directed Staff
to prepare amendments to the Chapter 12 -22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code,
to allow for the removal of landscaping encroaching into the adopted view
corridors.

V. REVIEW CRITERIA
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and
specific purposes of the zoning regulations; and
Staff believes the proposed amendments furthers the general purpose of the
zoning regulations by:
"...promoting the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the
town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious development of
the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural
environment and its established character as a resort and residential
community of high quality. "
Staff believes the proposed amendments furthers the following specific
purposes of the zoning regulations:
"1. To provide for adequate light, air, sanitation, drainage, and public
facilities.
5. To conserve and maintain established community qualities and
economic values.
8. To safeguard and enhance the appearance of the town.
9. To conserve and protect wildlife, streams, woods, hillsides, and
other desirable natural features.
10. To assure adequate open space, recreation opportunities, and
other amenities and facilities conducive to desired living quarters.
11. To otherwise provide for the growth of an orderly and viable
community. "
Town of Vail Page 8
In addition, the proposed text amendments will further the six purposes found
in Section 12 -22 -1, Purpose, Vail Town Code as follows:
"A. The protection and perpetuation of certain mountain views and other
significant views from various pedestrian public ways within the town
will foster civic pride and is in the public interest of the town.
B. It is desirable to designate, preserve and perpetuate certain views for
the enjoyment and environmental enrichment for the residents and
guests of the town.
C. The preservation of such views will strengthen and preserve the town's
unique environmental heritage and attributes.
D. The preservation of such views will enhance the aesthetic and
economic vitality and values of the town.
E. The preservation of such views is intended to promote design which is
compatible with the surrounding natural and built environment, and is
intended to provide for natural light to buildings and in public spaces in
the vicinity of the view corridors.
F. The preservation of such views will include certain focal points such as
the Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower, which serve as prominent
landmarks within Vail village and contribute to the community's unique
sense of place. "
Staff believes that the proposed amendments further both the general and
specific purposes of the zoning regulations as they will establish a process by
which the initial intent and goal of an adopted view corridor can be preserved
by addressing mature vegetation.
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 Town of Vail's adopted view corridors are located within Vail Village and
Lionshead. Each of these commercial cores have adopted master plans to
establish goals, objectives, and policies.
Within Vail Village Master Plan staff believes the proposed amendments
address the following goal, objective, and policy:
GOAL #3 TO RECOGNIZE AS A TOP PRIOTITY THE
ENHANCEMENT OF THE WALKING EXPERIENCE THROUGHOUT
THE VILLAGE
Town of Vail Page 9
Objective 3. 1.- Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by
landscaping and other improvements.
Policy 3.1.3. Flowers, trees, water features, and other
landscaping shall be encouraged throughout the Town in
locations adjacent to, or visible from, public areas.
Within Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan staff believes the proposed
amendments address the following policy objectives:
2.3.1 Renewal and Redevelopment
Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to become a
warmer, more vibrant environment for guests and residents.
Lionshead needs an appealing and coherent identity, a sense of place,
a personality, a purpose, and an improved aesthetic character.
2.3.2 Vitality and Amenities
We must seize the opportunity to enhance the guest experience and
community interaction through expanded and additional activities and
amenities such as performing arts venues, conference facilities, ice
rinks, streetscape, parks and other recreational improvements.
The Town's adopted view corridors work in partnership with the built
environment to ensure a visual connection between the pedestrian and the
natural environment and specific landmarks. View corridors are an important
component of the two commercial cores and the proposed regulations will
allow for the continued effectiveness of the adopted view corridors. Staff
believes that this proposal complies with this criterion.
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
The Town of Vail recognized very early in its development that connections
between the pedestrian and the natural environment and landmarks were
necessary for success. In order to ensure critical visual connections were
maintained the Town adopted regulations and criteria to protect critical views
through the adoption of Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992.
The impact of landscaping upon adopted view corridors was not anticipated in
the adoption of the existing view corridor regulations. The Town of Vail has
many goals, objectives, and policies which have resulted in the incorporation
of significant landscaping within our commercial cores. This goal of
Town of Vail Page 10
incorporating the natural environment into the built environment has begun to
impact the goal of preserving the intent of the adopted view corridors.
The proposed regulations are intended to provide a process by which both
goals can be achieved. Allowing for the alteration, removal, and replacement
of landscaping within adopted view corridors establishes the ability to balance
both goals.
Staff believes that conditions have changed since the original adoption of the
subject regulations. The impact of landscaping upon adopted view corridors
was not considered in the existing regulations. It is necessary to amend the
existing regulations in order to continue to achieve the goals of Chapter 12-
22, View Corridors, Vail Town Code.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious,
convenient, workable relationship among land use regulations
consistent with municipal development objectives; and
The proposed text amendments will allow for a harmonious, convenient, and
workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal
development objectives. As landscaping matures it may begin to frame the
adopted view corridor or it could be detrimental to the purpose and need to be
addressed. The proposed text amendments will allow for balance to be
achieved between the goals of preserving adopted view corridors and
incorporating the natural environment into the built environment.
5. Such other factors and criteria the planning and environmental
commission and /or council deem applicable to the proposed text
amendment.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends the Planning and
Environmental Commission forwards a recommendation of approval to the Vail
Town Council, pursuant to Section 12 -3 -7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to

Memorandum
To: Planning and Environmental Commission
From: Community Development Department
Date: February 13, 2012
Subject: Town of Vail Residential Sustainable Building Initiative; review of Building Design
and Landscape and Irrigation proposed measures.
SUMMARY
The purpose of this work session is to review the suggested measures in the second
and third categories of the Sustainable Building Initiative (SBI): Building Design and
Landscape and Irrigation. The following measures have not been assigned points, and
are still in the development phase with the SBI Committee. However each have been
evaluated and vetted by the community representatives and recommended as important
elements to the health of our local ecosystem and key to any green building initiative.
II. BACKGROUND
Building Design
Designate recycling and or compost storage area(s) Mandatory
Design roof to exclude gutters and heat tape Points TBD
Many of the existing barriers to on -site recycling and or composting for residential as
well as commercial properties in Vail are related to space constraints. Therefore, the
SBI Committee recommends that all plans for new construction or significant remodels
(greater than 500 square feet) of specific areas (garages, kitchens, etc.) designate on
building plans appropriate space to accommodate both trash and recycling and /or
compost containers. Any trash enclosures would therefore need to accommodate dual
stream recycling bins as well, and equal space must be provided for each.
Complicated roof forms, can lights and other roof penetrations often lead to necessary
electric heating methods to prevent ice damming. However, with proper roof design
combined with proper insulation and solar orientation techniques supplemental heating
can be avoided and should be incentivized.
Landscape and Irrigation
Trees to remain on property during construction within limits of disturbance fencing
shall be protected. (2 feet)
Mandatory
ET controlled irrigation systems, Main shutoff valve, zoned
Mandatory
Tree replacement: healthy trees removed must be replaced (ft for ft). If Mandatory
replacement trees cannot go on same property, may replace trees on TOV or other
property.
Low water use /native plants only (approved recommended plant list)
Points TBD
No permanent irrigation (temporary irrigation must be above grade)
Points TBD
Limit permanently irrigated area to 50% of total landscaped softscape. Non - native turf
grass is limited to 50% of the total landscaped area.
Points TBD
All required landscaping (softscape and hardscape) is permeable
Points TBD
Current regulations related to landscape and tree protection are as follows:
14 -10 -8: LANDSCAPING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL:
A. Various natural vegetation zones exist within the Gore Valley as a result of the
form and aspects of the land itself. The north facing slopes within the valley are
typically heavily wooded with spruce, pine and aspen and generally receive less
direct sunlight than the drier south facing slopes which typically consist of sage,
aspen and other vegetation tolerant of drier conditions. The valley floor which is
adjacent to Gore Creek consists of a wide variety of trees and shrubs adapted to
the relatively fertile soil and natural availability of water.
The goal of any landscape plan should be to preserve and enhance the natural
landscape character of the area in which it is to be located and serve as an aid in
fire prevention and protection. The landscape scale and overall landscape design
shall be developed so that new vegetation is integral with the natural landscape
and the inherent form, line, color and texture of the local plant communities.
Since the major objective of the landscaping is to help reduce the scale of new
structures and to assist in the screening of structures, the planting of large sized
plant materials is encouraged. Fire wise plant materials are encouraged due to
their ability to resist fire. Trees should be maintained through limbing and pruning
in order to prevent limbs from being too close to structures and other plant
materials. Special care should be taken in selecting the types of plants to use
when designing a landscape plan. Final selection should be based upon the soils
and climate, ease of establishment, suitability for the specific use desired, ability
to deter the spread of fires and the level of maintenance that can be provided.
New planting shall use plants that are indigenous to the Rocky Mountain alpine
and subalpine zones or are capable of being introduced into these zones.
A recommended list of plant materials, some indigenous to the Vail area, is on
file with the department of community development. Also indicated on the list are
fire wise plant materials which are suitable for planting within the Vail area. The
minimum sizes of landscape materials acceptable are as follows.
Required trees:
Deciduous 2 inch caliper
Conifers 6 foot
Required shrubs 5 gallon container
Town of Vail Page 2
Foundation shrubs shall have a minimum height of 18 inches at time of planting.
B. Landscape design shall be developed to locate new planting in order to extend
existing canopy edges or planted in natural looking groups. Geometric plantings,
evenly spaced rows of trees, and other formal landscape patterns shall be
avoided.
C. Particular attention shall be given the landscape design of off street parking lots
to reduce adverse impacts upon living areas within the proposed development,
upon adjacent properties, and upon public spaces with regard to noise, lights,
and visual impact.
D. All landscaping shall be provided with a method of irrigation suitable to ensure the
continued maintenance of planted materials.
E. Whenever possible, natural drainage patterns upon the site shall not be modified.
Negative drainage impacts upon adjacent sites shall not be allowed.
F. Runoff from impervious surfaces such as roofs and pavement areas shall be
directed to natural or improved drainage channels or dispersed into shallow
sloping vegetated areas.
G. Slope of cut and fill banks shall be determined by soil characteristics for the
specific site to avoid erosion, and promote revegetation opportunities, but in any
case shall be limited to a maximum of two to one (2: 1) slope.
H. Measures shall be taken to retain all eroded soil material on site during
construction, control both ground water and surface water runoff, and to
permanently stabilize all disturbed slopes and drainage features upon completion
of construction.
1. All plants shall be planted in a good quality topsoil mix of a type and amount
recommended by the American Landscape Contractor Association and the
Colorado Nurseryman's Association.
J. All plantings must be mulched.
K. Paving near a tree to be saved must contain a plan for a tree vault in order to
ensure the ability of the roots to receive air.
14 -10 -3: SITE PLANNING:
C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal
of those essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased or
those essential for creating defensible space. Mitigation may be required for tree
removal.

Landscape and Irrigation Measures Rationale
Tree Protection and Replacement
While tree removal is allowed for the development of a site, trees to remain on the
property are often lost due to improper protection during construction. The SBI
Committee recommends that at least a 2 -foot barrier around the trunk of the tree be
required, enforced and communicated to developers. However, note that the Town's
Landscape Architect recommends a 2 -foot barrier of protection from the canopy of the
tree, rather than the trunk, to ensure proper protection of the tree and root systems. The
SBI Committee recognizes that a very large tree will have a significant canopy and
maintaining a large barrier may be in conflict with development of the site.
When trees are to be removed, in effort to ensure proper and ongoing revegetation of
the Town as a whole, the SBI Committee recommends a foot for foot tree replacement
as part of the Trees for Vail program. (Note that this concept is a current policy of the
Town, but not codified. Owners are asked to replace trees on their own property when
practical). The SBI Committee proposes, for example, a 20 -foot spruce tree may be
replaced by one 20 -foot tree, or ten 2 -foot trees, on the property to be developed, Town
of Vail property, or a neighbor's property, with the owner's permission. The Town of Vail
may also allow the applicant to pre - purchase their tree(s) through the Trees for Vail
program to be purchased and planted at a later date by Town staff and student
volunteers.
Native Plants and Irrigation
To ensure water conservation and efficient use of resources, the SBI Committee
recommends all irrigation systems be installed with an evapotranspiration (ET) control
system, which prevents automatic -timer sprinkler systems from engaging during or
adjacent to a rain event by detecting moisture in the air. These systems are common
and accessible according to local landscape architects. In addition, zoned systems with
main shut -off valves allow for more specific control of areas that are shaded or that
have different watering needs. Native and low -water use plants are encouraged
(Attachment A). Any temporary irrigation installed for the establishment period only,
must be above grade and removed within two seasons from installation.
Irrigation Area, Hardscape and Softscape
Current regulations related to residential landscape percentages are as follows:
12 -6B -9: SITE COVERAGE:
Site coverage shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total site area.
12- 6B -10: LANDSCAPING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT:
At least sixty percent (60%) of each site shall be landscaped. The minimum width
Town of Vail Page 4
and length of any area qualifying as landscaping shall be ten feet (10), with a
minimum area of not less than three hundred (300) square feet.
*Note that of the 60% landscaping requirement, 20% may be hardscape, per the
definition:
12- 6B -10: LANDSCAPING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT:
At least sixty percent (60 %) of each site shall be landscaped. The minimum width
and length of any area qualifying as landscaping shall be ten feet (10), with a
minimum area of not less than three hundred (300) square feet.
In order to incentivize pervious surfaces and fewer heated walkways and patios
(currently included in landscaping requirement), as well as a reduction in non - native turf
grass, developers will be encouraged through the SBI points system to limit their
permanently irrigated area to half of their landscaping, and install native grasses as
opposed to Kentucky Bluegrass. Points will also be available for installing pervious
hardscape as opposed to impervious heated area. The SBI Committee feels that this
will improve water retention on site and a return to a native landscape, conserve water
and reduce the need for chemicals and fertilizer.
III. NEXT STEPS
Staff will return to the Planning and Environmental Commission on March 12t ", with
items from the next category of the SBI, revisions based upon feedback from the PEC
and the public, and with updates from the February SBI Committee meeting.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Planning and Environmental Commission provide feedback on
the proposed Sustainable Building Initiative measures for Site Design and table this
item to the March 12, 2012 hearing.

This pamphlet contains a list of plants that are commercially
available and typically successful in the Town of Vail. The
variety of beautiful plants that grow in Vail enrich the natural
landscape and enhance residential and commercial properties.
Due to multiple microclimates and site constraints, the
inclusion of a plant on the list does not guarantee survival.
Select plant species accordingly. In addition, this list is not all-
inclusive and there are many species and variations that may
also grow successfully. Contact your local landscape architect,

A report to the Planning and Environmental Commission of an administrative action approving a
request for a minor amendment to an approved development plan, pursuant to Sections 12 -8E -6,
Development Plan, and 12- 8E -18, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, and an
amendment to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Sections 12 -8A -3, Conditional Uses, and 12-
16-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for amendments to a ski lift and tow
(i.e. replacement of the Vista Bahn chair lift with a new gondola), located adjacent to 250 Vail
Lane /Tract A, Front Door Three Dimensional Subdivision, and Tract E, Vail Village 51" Filing, and
setting forth details in regard thereto (PEC120001, PEC120002).
Applicant: Vail Corporation, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Affirmation of an administrative approval with modifications
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 5 -1 -1 ( Rediker opposed, Cartin recused)
CONDITIONS:
1. Vail Corporation shall submit a complete design review application, pursuant to
Chapter 12 -11, Design Review, Vail Town Code, to the Town of Vail Community
Development Department, for review and approval, by no later than 5:00 pm February
15, 2012.
2. Vail Corporation shall submit a study of the current noise levels of the base tramway
(Vista Bahn chair lift) to be used as a baseline for comparison to noise levels of the
base tramway of the new gondola prior to the removal of the Vista Bahn ski lift
terminal.
Commissioner Kurz stated that he felt the administrative approvals were appropriate. If traffic
was a concern of the Commission they may want to move the item to the regular agenda and
hear testimony. He felt that the traffic issues, similar to those in East Vail, should be addressed
further by the Police Department and not at this venue.
Commissioner Rediker asked how Staff determined these applications were minor amendments
and therefore administratively approvable.
Warren Campbell explained the issues reviewed, the criteria of the code, and testimony provided
in the application. After review of all these elements the determination of administrative approval
was made.
Page 1
Commissioner Pierce asked about Town Council's role in this review.
Warren Campbell clarified the Council's call -up ability and the upcoming DRB review.
Commissioner Pierce recommended the Commission move the item to the regular agenda and
discuss it in more depth and hear public testimony.
Warren Campbell clarified the procedural steps.
Commissioner Rediker asked if there was sufficient public notice if the item was move to the
regular agenda.
Warren Campbell explained the public notification that had occurred and confirmed that the
Code required notification had been provided.
Commissioner Rediker made a motion to move this item to the regular agenda.
Second by Commissioner Hopkins.
Commissioner Cartin recused himself due to a conflict of interest as an employee of Vail
Corporation.
The motion passed 5 -1 -1 (Kurz opposed, Cartin recused).
Chris Jarnot, representing Vail Resorts, identified the applicant's reasoning for proposing to
replace the Vista Bahn with a new gondola, presented an overview of the project, provided a
history of the past lifts in this location, highlighted the timing with Vail's upcoming 501h
Anniversary celebration, explained the relationships of the proposed gondola with the other lifts
on the ski mountain, addressed noise levels (a letter from the lift manufacturer stating how the
new gondola is quieter than the existing lift was submitted into the record), addressed impacts of
the gondola on ski race finishes, identified the relationship to the new 10th restaurant at Mid -Vail,
outlined the other required approvals (US Forest Service, State of Colorado Tramway Board,
Eagle County building permits, Town of Vail design review and building permits) and anticipated
construction schedules, and was available for questions.
Commissioner Pratt asked about syphoning skier traffic from Lionshead.
Chris Jarnot stated that there was not a shift in skier traffic upon removal of Chair 1 in 2006.
Commissioner Hopkins asked about power outages.
Chris Jarnot answered that there are diesel generators at the top of the mountain to runthe
gondola.
Commissioner Hopkins asked about impacts to the maze area.
Chris Jarnot answered that the proposal increased the maze area.
Commissioner Pierce asked additional questions about the maze.
Chris Jarnot noted that the maze design is not finalized, but described the anticipated design on
the west side of the structure.
Page 2
Commissioner Rediker noted that the 10th restaurant must be a driver for this new lift. He asked
questions about the maze and impacts to the ski yard where non - skiers may congregate.
Chris Jarnot stated that while the gondola would expand opportunities for the 10th restaurant, the
investment of $20 million for the gondola was not a wise investment as the time frame to recoup
that investment was likely beyond the life span of the gondola. He reiterated that the investment
was an effort to improve customer service and add several luxury elements such as wifi and
heated seats. Adding a second gondola makes a statement in the industry about he product Vail
offers.
Commissioner Hopkins agreed with Commissioner Rediker's concerns about areas for removing
skies at the end of the run.
Commissioner Kurz asked for clarification if skiers could ski directly to the lift house.
Chris Jarnot clarified that no skis would have to be removed..
Commissioner Pierce opened the meeting to the public
Sacha Gros, resident, asked for further clarification about how guests access the lift from the
east side.
Chris Jarnot stated that those approaching the gondola from properties to the east would have to
walk a short distance further to get in the maze.
Stephanie Whittelsey, resident, asked how non - skiers can access the 10th (must purchase a lift
ticket today) and stated her concerns about skier congestion at Mid -Vail.
Chris Jarnot anticipated charging for foot passengers in the same manner as the Lionshead
gondola. He does not anticipate moving more people to Mid -Vail, but moving early morning
crowds faster. Future upgrades to Chair 4 are being considered. A skier education program
highlighting terrain options from Mid -Vail will be implemented. When at the base of the mountain
in the Vista Bahn ski yard guests have no options but to wait, but at mid -Vail they would have
access to multiple other if 4 and 5 are crowded.
Marty Head, adjacent property owner, asked about anticipated parking changes.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowner's Association, stated he won't second guess Vail Resort's
expertise with lift design. He said he doesn't see anything particularly wrong with improving
year -round access to the mountain. He noted concerns about moving the gondola base further
north of the existing lift base and its impacts to both summer and winter family gathering areas,
especially with the close proximity of pirate ship park. He doesn't doubt that the gondola will be
quieter, but wants evidence that it will be no louder than the existing Vista Bahn. He is
concerned that success can lead to excess and is concerned about increased skier drop off
problems on Hanson Ranch Road. He noted that this is a Town of Vail problem that the Town
needs to step -up its share of the parking enforcement responsibilities. He commented that Ever
Vail could relieve year -round traffic pressures and congestion at Golden Peak and this location.
He noted that during the design review process, noise can be further addressed. He urged that
the application and approval be moved forward and any remaining issues be addressed by the
Town Council.
Page 3
Bob Bosselli, business owner, noted the positive impacts to businesses and identified the need
to educate skiers about navigating the mountain. He asked about impacts to the summer Teva
Games.
Chris Jarnot stated that Vail Resorts and the Vail Valley Foundation are working on that issue
and will establish alternative event locations.
Warren Campbell clarified the procedures for a motion to conclude the hearing on this item. He
explained that the Commission could affirm, affirm with modifications, overturn, table, or call -up
the item if it was felt staff was in error in its administrative approval.
Commissioner Rediker asked when staff was contacted by Vail Resorts and where the bike path
will be relocated.
Warren Campbell stated that he had become aware of the proposal to install a gondola in
December a few weeks before the application was submitted. He added that he was aware that
Vail Resorts was speaking to others in the organization before he was made aware of the
applications that would be submitted.
Commissioner Pierce asked for additional information about noise and existing sound levels. He
recommended further reviewing the queuing.
Commissioner Rediker agreed with Pierce. He recognized the applicant's need to keep moving
forward, but wishes applications had been submitted earlier. He generally supports the project,
but is concerned about impacts to the skier yard. He has concerns that tents and outdoor
display will have negative impacts.
Commissioner Pratt applauded VR for improving the lift. He has concerns about the lift base
location and impacts to the ski yard. He would like to see this project move forward.
Commissioner Schneideman supports the project as submitted, but recommended obtaining
metrics for current noise levels.
Dominic Mauriello asked if noise concerns could be addressed with the design review
application.
Commissioner Hopkins asked that the applicant further review the design of the ski yard.
Commissioner Pierce asked that a queuing plan be examined and addresses the impacts of the
existing public plaza area and demonstrate the demand or capacity is met.
Commissioner Hopkins clarified her concerns about peak skier times.
Chris Jarnot further explained the proposed lift base and maze locations and usage. He
reiterated that they do not intend to move more skiers, but to move the existing number of skiers
faster, thus reducing the queuing demands
Commissioner Pierce reiterated his concerns about noise.
Dominic Mauriello noted that the Town Code address noise concerns.

Tom Braun, representing the applicant, introduced several representatives.
Aldo Radamus, the Executive Director of SSCV, made a presentation on the growth of the club
and the expansion in programs offered over the years. He stated that the Club is not actively
seeking to grow, but to better serve the community.
Tiffany Hoverstein, CFO and Business Manager of SSCV, discussed the growth of the ski club
from 100 in the 1970s to over 500 today. She spoke to the economic benefits of the Club from
early season training groups. SSCV has 133 employees and hosts over 40 events throughout
the season.
Tom Braun made a power point presentation highlighting the challenges of the current space
and the anticipated programmatic needs of a new building.
Bob McCleary, representing Manor Vail Condominium Association, stated that he understands
what was presented today. His Association has questions regarding, bulk, mass, traffic, etc. He
and his group understand that drawings haven't been done, but some conceptual plans might
have addressed several of the questions he heard.
Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Homeowners Association, spoke to the letters that the Town
has received asking for a development plan to accompany the rezoning request. Without a
rezoning, there would be no dwelling units on the site. He stated that the nervousness of the
neighborhood is the introduction of the dwelling units on the site. Schematic plans are
necessary to help the neighborhood understand the changes that are going to be suggested. He
expressed concern about the small lot area and the demonstrated program needs for the site.
Jim Aiken, representing Northwoods Condominium Association, stated their support for the goal
of improving the program. Northwood's concern is traffic on Vail Valley Drive. He added that he
is concerned about the need to expand in the future.
Diane Milligan, manager of the Rams -Horn Condominium Association, said they are proud of the
SSCV and her owners are asking form some sort of a visual representation of the proposal. They
do not believe this is an undo burden to provide. She added they are concerned about traffic
impacts and the safety of pedestrians.
Commissioner Kurz expressed pride in the success of the club. He said he understands the
desire of the neighboring properties to see a rendering; however, the development parameters
are straight forward and the outlay of funds by a non - profit is risky. He said he is in favor of the
rezoning without the provision of the imagery.
Commissioner Rediker expressed a belief in the appropriateness of the proposed zone district.
He said traffic will not necessarily improve. He does not believe the Commission can make
findings without a development plan with regard to review criteria 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Commission Pratt stated that a rezoning is appropriate. He added that a rezoning approval does
not guarantee building property line to property line and that the development plan will be highly
scrutinized.
Commissioner Hopkins agreed that a sketch now would be without critical thought. The eventual
development plan will be scrutinized. Traffic on Vail Valley drive as always will be a concern.
Commissioner Pierce stated the Commission needs to be aware of the issues being created
through the change in allowable uses on the site. The program is a success and traffic cannot
Page 6
not get worse. He said he is very concerned about setbacks and would like to hear from the
adjacent property owner and their needs in the future. He stated concern about the height
permitted in SBR2. He said a volume massing model could be easily prepared and submitted.
He voiced concern about approving a 43 feet height limit. He said there may be an issue with
the required parking. He said because of his concerns, he is not in favor or moving forward at
this point without a basic site plan and volume study.
Tom Braun responded to the commissioner's comments, including John Rediker's comment that
the criteria cannot be reviewed. He added that Pierce's comments regarding height will be
reviewed again with development plan.
Commissioner Pierce stated for the record that the site should not be solely residential. He
suggested a percentage of GRFA of the floor area for the SSCV.

5. A request for the review of amendments to a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12 -16-
10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for additions to the Vail Public Library,
located at 292 West Meadow Drive /Part of Lot 5, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting

Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Approved with condition(s)
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Rediker VOTE: 6 -0 -1 (Hopkins recused)

housing deed restriction in accordance with Chapter 12 -13, Employee Housing, Vail
Town Code.
2. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town
of Vail approval of the associated design review application.
Commissioner Hopkins recused herself as she is working on the project
Bill Gibson gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He highlighted parking and
employee housing as the two topics which needed to be addressed.
Commissioner Pierce summarized that the issue regarding the EHUs is that they are in an area
that requires no net loss per the master plans which sounds like the preverbal shooting yourself
with your own gun.
Commissioner Kurz asked why the proposed improvements are being made to the library
Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager, described how the first floor of the library was the
"prime real estate" of the building that should be used to serve the public rather than function as
staff offices. By relocating the offices to the lowest level, first floor area would be converted to
new tutoring rooms and expanded computer /technical areas.
Commissioner Cartin asked about the high stream flows such as the July flood and what is being
done to address the situation.
Greg Hall spoke to how the July flood occurred and how the culvert system has been improved
to prevent this situation in the future.

Greg Hall provided additional background on the historical uses of the library building.
Commissioner Pratt is wondering if the EHU requirement is still in effect.
Bill Gibson provided additional information about the Town's adopted EHU policies and future
policy discussions that may be needed around the unclear EHU policies.
Greg Hall spoke to the conversation with the Town Council, as the property owner, that occurred
prior to coming before the PEC hearing.
Commissioner Rediker spoke to the EHU situation as a member of the Vail Local Housing
Authority. He described how the 1999 EHU was constructed for the specific housing needs for
