(PEC19-0009) Applicant: LSC 27, LLC and Frances Biszantz, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Jonathan Spence I.SUMMARY The applicants,LSC 27, LLC and Frances Biszantz, represented by Mauriello Planning Group,arerequesting the review of Minor Subdivision, pursuant to Section 13-4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for removal of the platted building envelopes, located at 694/696 and 670 Forest Road /Lots 7 and 8, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 6. Based upon staff’s review of the criteria outlined in Section VIIof this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department recommends approvalof this application, subject to the findings in Section VIII of this memorandum. II.DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST The applicants, LSC 27, LLC and Frances Biszantz, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, are requesting the review of Minor Subdivision, pursuant to Section 13-4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to allow for removal of the platted building envelopes, located at 694/696 and 670 Forest Road. The graphic below showsthe existing properties with their corresponding building envelopes, established in 1997. Please see the background section for additional details on the lot configurations and building envelopes. III.BACKGROUND The subject properties were originally platted in 1964 while under Eagle County jurisdiction. The properties were annexed into the Town of Vail in 1966via Court Order resulting from the original Town of Vail election. A duplex residence was constructed on Lot 8 (694/696 Forest Road) in 1978 with a major remodel occurring in1987 and a residential addition in 1992. Asingle-family residence was constructed on Lot 7 (670 Forest Road) in 1969 with a garage being added to the residence in 1980. A major remodel of the home occurred in 1996. In the fall of 1996, an application for aminor subdivision of Lot 7 and Lot 8,which were at the time under common ownership,was receivedto adjustthe common lot lineto allow for additional GRFA for Lot 8.At the time,the planning staff felt that the inclusion of building envelopes was necessary to preserve the existing development pattern in the area. This recognized development pattern was for homes to be located near the front setback along the south side of Forest Road. The applicant’s were receptive to the placement of the building envelope on Lot 7 (eastern lot) but were not interested in the imposition of a building envelope on Lot 8. The requirement for building envelopes Town of VailPage 2 resulted in a staff recommendation of denial when the item was heard on December 16, 1996. At this meeting, the PEC members were receptive to staff’s approach, resulting in the applicant requesting a tabling to the January 13, 1997 meeting. Prior to this meeting the applicant agreed to the building envelopes and the application was subsequently th approved at the January 13meeting. The Vail Town Code (Code) did not require building envelopes at that time, nor today, to prohibit construction on steep slopes in the Primary Secondary (PS) Zone District. Although building envelopes are a legitimate tool for restricting development in sensitive areas, particularly withinnew subdivisions (Spraddle Creek), to utilize them piecemeal within an existing subdivision that creates inequities between lots appears both unnecessary and inconsistent with code. A vicinity map (Attachment A), applicants narrative (Attachment B), letter of support from adjacent neighbor( Attachment C), Proposed Final Plat (Attachment D)and the staff reports and minutes from the December 16, 1996 and January 13, 1997 PEC meetings (Attachment E) are attached for review.

We are the owners of the duplex adjacent to the property; just to the west located at 706 Forest Road. We have owned 706A for more than 15 years. We love Forest Road, and just bought 706B with a plan to help the continuous evolution of the Lionshead side of Forest Road. We know our neighbors are likewise committed to this effort. We, like they, are prepared to make the investment to the future of our community. We are mutually committed to make the Town proud of our efforts. We have reviewed the application materials provided and believe that it makes sense from a fairness and equal treatment perspective that the building envelopes platted on these lots be removed and the owners be allowed to adhere to the setback requirements just as all other homes on Forest Road enjoy. Most of the homes within this subdivision have been granted setback variances at one time or another to allow a home to be easily accessed from Forest Road due to the steep slopes found on this street. We understand that is also the case here. We fully support our neighbor’s effort to remove these overly restrictive building envelopes and hope that the Commission will allow this to occur. Neighborliness is a fundamental component of developing our community. We sincerely hope you will approve of and support our efforts. Please call or email us if there are any questions.

III.BACKGROUND The parcelat 706 Forest Road was annexed into the Town of Vail by court order in August of 1966.Based on a staff report written in 1998, theexisting duplex was constructedat the north edge of thelotin 1980, at a time when the front yard setback requirement was 10’due to the steep slopes.The code subsequently changed and the duplex is therefore a legally nonconforming structure. A variance for the front yard setback was granted inJune of 1998. The variance allowed for the enclosure of an existing deck and did not extend the building footprint further into the 9’ setback.The PECplaced a condition on the grant of this variance that states, “Theapplicant shall maintain a limit of disturbance line as shown on the site plan. No building additions shall be allowed beyond this line in the future. This limit of disturbance Town of VailPage 2 and any associated variances will become obsolete if the duplex is demolished and rebuilt.” In March of 2000, another variance was granted.

IV.APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS Staff finds that the following provisions of the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review of this proposal: Title 12 –Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code Chapter 6, Article D, Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District (in part) 12-6D-1: PURPOSE: The two-family primary/secondary residential district is intended to provide sites for single-family residential uses or two-family residential uses in which one unit is a larger primary residence and the second unit is a smaller caretaker apartment, together with such public facilities as may appropriately be located in the same zone district. The two- family primary/secondary residential district is intended to ensure adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each dwelling, commensurate with single-family and two- family occupancy, and to maintain the desirable residential qualities of such sites by establishingappropriate site development standards.

The map demonstrates general uniformity within this PS district. The lots on the south side of Forest Road are narrow and long. They also have steep slopes in common with one another. The properties on the north side of Forest Road are also narrow,but not as long and do not share steep slopes as a feature. The homes along both sides of the street are close to their front property lines.The homes on the south side are located towards the street due to the steep slopes toward the rear of the lots. 706 Forest Road Zoning Map Town of VailPage 6 VII. REVIEWCRITERIA The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Title 12, Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code. 1.The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. While the proposed additions and projections will exacerbate existing nonconforming setbacks, relative to the overall size of the existing duplex and nonconforming nature, staff finds that the proposed additions will not have a detrimental impact to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The direct abutter to the east at 696 Forest Road submitted a letter in support of the variance (Exhibit E). Prior to any final approval,the final design will need to receive approval from the Design Review Board. Therefore, staff findsthatthe proposed variances conformtothis criterion. 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 treatmentamong sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. The proposed additions and projections will result in an exacerbationof the existing nonconforming setbacks.As discussed in Section VI, this lot is not unique among sites in the vicinity.The abutting properties share similar lot constraints, sizeand topography. Therefore, staff finds that there is not sufficient evidence or hardship unique to this lot to support that the grant of variances for redevelopment of this property. The grant of variances isnotnecessaryto achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity. Archived PECminutes indicate a desire to bring nonconforming decks and projections into conformance, as evidenced by conditions imposed both on the subject property,as well as propertieswithin the vicinitythat conditionconformance to the setback standards upon redevelopment. Avariance is not necessary to achieve uniform treatment among sites in the vicinity andthis proposal will result in a grant of a special privilege. Staff finds the proposed variance does not meet this criterion. 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. Town of VailPage 7 The proposed variance will facilitate the redevelopment of an existing duplex and will not increase the density on the lot. Additional parking requirements will not be triggered. Therefore, the proposal is not expected toalterthepopulation; will not affect any existing transportation or traffic facilities, public facilities, or utilities; and will not affect public safety in comparison to existing conditions. Therefore, staff finds the proposed variance conformsto this criterion. 4.Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance.

A set of initial goals were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Planmap, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Planare as follows: 1.General Growth / Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. Town of VailPage 4 1.3.The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6.Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12.Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5.Residential 5.1.Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3.Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 5.4.Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. 6.Community Services 6.1.Services should keep pace with increased growth. 6.2.The Town of Vail should play a role in future development through balancing growth with services. 6.3.Services should be adjusted to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. VAIL HOUSING 2027 Goal:The Town of Vail will acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027. Town of VailPage 5 These new deed restrictions will be acquired for both existing homes as well as for homes that are newly constructed by both the Town of Vail and private sector developers. Vision:An Eye on the Future-We envision Vail as a diverse, resilient, inclusive, vibrant and sustainablemountain resort community where year-round residents are afforded the opportunity to live and thrive. We take a holistic approach to maintaining community, with continuous improvement to our social, environmental, and economic well being. We create housing solutions by recognizing and capitalizing on our unique position as North America’s premier international mountain resort community in order to provide the highest quality of service to our guests, attract citizens of excellence and foster their ability to live, work, and play in Vail throughout their lives. Our strategic solutions and actions result in the retention of existing homes, creation of new and diverse housing infrastructure, and collaboration with community partners. For Vail, no problem is insurmountable. With a consistent, community-driven purpose and an entrepreneurial spirit, Vail will lead the industry in innovative housing solutions for the 21st century. The Town is well positioned financially to undertake this significant challenge. Mission:Maintaining andSustaining Community-We create, provide, and retain high quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents to support a sustainable year round economy and build a vibrant, inclusive and resilient community. We do this through acquiring deed restrictions on homes so that our residents have a place to live in Vail Policy Statement: Resident Housing as Infrastructure -We acknowledge that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government. 2009 ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIC PLAN The purpose of the Vail EnvironmentalSustainability Strategic Plan is to define a strategy that consists of measurable goals,objectives, and actions that will help the Towncoordinate efforts to achieve the environmentalvision of the community. Additionally, it willprovide a framework for the municipality,partners, businesses, full- and part-timeresidents, and guests to take action to reducethe Town of Vail’s impact on global climatechange and work toward a sustainable future. Energy Efficiency -Goal #2: Energy Efficiency: Reduce the Town of Vailmunicipal and community energy use by 20% below 2006levels by 2020, in order to effectively reduce the Town’scontribution to greenhouse gas emissions and impact onglobal climate change. Town of VailPage 6 Ecosystem Health -Goal 3: Ensure that the natural environment,specifically air and water quality, waterquantity, and use and habitat are maintainedto current or improved levels of biologicalhealth. Transportation–Goal #6 -Reduce the environmental impact oftransportationby supporting efforts within theEagle Valley to decrease total Vehicle MilesTraveled (VMT) by commuters and guests by 20%by 2020. VI.CRITERIA Amendments to the Public Works MasterPlanrequire a public hearing review process as outlined in Section 12-3-6 of the Vail Town Code. The role of the Planning and Environmental Commission is to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the Town Council on adoption of the Plan, or changes to the Plan that should be considered by the Town Councilbefore adoption. The Public Works Master Plan, an element of the Comprehensive Plan, will need to be adopted by the passage of a resolution by the Vail Town Council. Amendments to, or adoption of new elements of, the Comprehensive Planmust address the following review criteria: Adoption of a Master Plan The adoption of an amendment or update to a master plan needs to be in concert with the Town of Vail’s Comprehensive Plan. The adopted master plan shall support, strengthen, and further the development objectives of the town. To ensure consistency with these objectives, the following factors for consideration are applied. 1) How conditions have changed since the original plan was adopted; Staff finds that conditions have changed in the following manner since the adoption of the 1994 Public Works Facility Master Plan: Population growth in Vail and in Eagle County Increased summervisitation Increased staffing and vehicle fleet Increased and improvedtransit service Loss of spacealong roads to store snow Ever-increasing challenges with establishing workforce housing in Vail On-going redevelopment in Vail that has increased the density and intensity of use on many properties Significant declines in wildlife populations Increased energy use, including the implementation of snow melted roads and sidewalks Town of VailPage 7 Gore Creekis listed as an impaired stream by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment 2) How is the original Plan in error? The Public Works MasterPlan is not in error, but is 25years old. The Plan needs to be updatedto remain relevant and consistent with the changing conditions and goals of the Town and community.Many of the goals of the 1994 Plan have been implemented, and a plan for future growth is needed. 3) How the addition, deletion, or change to the plan are in concert with the master plan in general. The proposed Public Works MasterPlan willupdate an old master plan documentand set the stage for the needs of the Town over next 20 years. The new Plan addresses many of the same goals and issuesfaced by the Town in 1994, including the identification of programming needs and additional spacefor such needs, the desire to upgrade facilities, the goal of providing foradditional employee housing, andthe need to increase outdoor space for snow dumping. In addition to these goals, the proposed Plan incorporatesthe goal of planning for on-site solar energy production to offset some of the Town’s own energy use. Following are several ways in which the Plan update is in concert with the master plan, and the Town’s comprehensive plan: Land Use Adoption ofthis Plan helps to ensure that this advisoryland use document is updated and current. The Plan identifies a method and phasing plan for upgrading existing facilities and constructing new facilities. The proposed additional growth will be in an existingdeveloped area. The Plan helps to address environmental sustainability as a priority of the community. Environmental Sustainability The Plan identifies sites for future utility grade solar energy production to offset some Town’s energy use. The Plan recognizes the area to the north and east of the existing buildings as Bighorn sheep habitat, and seeks to balance the operational and functionality needs of the Town with the community’s desire to protect and enhance habitat for wildlife. Town of VailPage 8 Housing The Plan helps to advance the Town’s goal of acquiring 1,000 additional resident housing deed restrictions by the year 2027. The Plan identifies land and design options for potential new employee housing. The Plan helps the Town to provide housing to keep pace with the demands for a variety of housing types, and to upgrade the Town’s supply of employee housing. Transportation The Plan identifies space needs for maintenance of the Town’s existing and planned bus fleet toensure that residents, workers and visitors have access to an excellent public transit system. The Plan identifies infrastructure improvements, including turn lanes onN. Frontage Road and the widening of the I-70 underpass bridge at Elkhorn Drive upon the expansion of employeehousing within the Public Works site. Community Services The Plan will help the Town to improve its services including transit and streets maintenance. The additional facilities identified in the Plan will help the Town to keep pace with the needs of peak periods. Following are ways in which the Plan update is notin concert with the master plan, and the Town’s comprehensive plan: Additional housing is proposed in areas of High Severity Rockfall, which is discouraged in the Land Use Plan, Goal 5.1 VII.ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The existing Public Works Department site contains a number of uses and products that have potential for negative impacts on the environment. These include fuel pumps, chemicals used for the Town’s fleet vehicles, storage of fertilizers and other landscaping chemicals, washing of vehicles, and the dumping of snow with the accompanyingsand and dirt. The residential uses at Buzzard Park and associated human activity, trash, lighting and trails have potential to impact existing wildlife in the vicinity. The Public Works Department site is within Bighorn sheep Summer Range, and is very close to, but not within, Bighorn sheep Winter Concentration area. Other wildlife species that use the area throughout the yearinclude black bear, boreal toad, elk, moose, mountain lion, mule deer, and terrestrial garter snake. There is, however, no viable alternative location within the Town to accommodate the needs of the community that are met by the Public Works Department. The current location is the only realistic location in town that can accommodate the unique public Town of VailPage 9 works service needs of the community. The location has worked well since the Town acquired this site in 1976. It is generally hidden from public view, with good access to public roads. Efforts have been made by the applicant to reduce and limit the impact on the natural environment, and to plan for new and expanded uses on portions of the site that would reduce impacts on the environment. The Master Plan calls for development in the already disturbed areas, including solar panels on slopes where vegetation has been disturbed and housing in areas with existing buildings or parking lots. More environmental studieswill be needed, and is planned, when specific development plans are submitted, including a review of impacts on wildlife. The expansion of housing on the east side of this site, closer to the Bighorn sheep Winter Concentration area, will need detailed study at the time of proposed development, and will need to balance the need for employee housing with potential environmental impacts. The proposed Master Plan also recommendsclosing of existing trails in winter, prohibiting dogs on site, and performing more detailed wildlife studies before installation of utility grade solar panels. VIII.STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department finds that the proposed Public Works Master Plan helps to identify current space planning needs and a path for future growthof the Public Works Department, and also addresses many community goals, including the provision of employee housing and onsite solar energy production. The Plan can be improved with the following additional elements: Greater attention to utilities, includingany required improvementsto water supply lines, sewer capacity (including lift station capacity improvements) and water quality features. Identification of any changes in policiesor regulations that may be needed to achieve the goals of the Plan. This may include annexation of Town owned propertyin unincorporated Eagle County, and rezoning of the annexed property to match the General Use (GU) zoning for the remainder of the site. The Community Development Department finds that the Public Works Master Plan couldbe improved with the inclusion of additional detail. The Community Development Department requests that the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission review the proposed Plan and provide feedback on any changes or additions that may be needed. Staff’s recommendation is based upon the review of the proposed amendments and the criteria outlined in Section VI of the memorandum, dated April 22, 2019 and the evidence and testimony presented throughout the public hearing process. More specifically, the staff believes the applicant has demonstrated that conditions have Town of VailPage 10 changed since the Plan was adopted and that the Public Works Master Plan, as proposed, is in concert with the adopted goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in general. Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to forward a recommendation of approvalof the adoption of the Public Works Master Plan, staff recommends the Commission approve the following motion: “The Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission recommends that the Vail Town Council adopts the Public Works Master Plan(PEC19- 0006).The recommendation of approval is based upon the Commission’s review of the proposed Plan, as amended over the course of the public hearing process and the finding that the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission that conditions have changed since the original adoption of the 1994 Public Works Facility Master Plan and that the requested additions, deletions, or changes to the Planare in concert with the adopted development objectives, as outlined in Section VIof the staff memorandum dated April 22, 2019.” IX.ATTACHMENTS A.Public Works Master Plan B.Appendix to Public Works Master Plan Town of VailPage 11 6.2 Town Interviews 1.

About 10 people work out of the -6 people work out of the Electrical and Carpentry Bays at Public Works. This group needs personal car parking for 12 each day as well as truck parking that could be 2 deep tandem parking on site. 1. Level 2, Southside Village Parking Structure Work Space is cramped with about 10 people and is short on actual Office area and Computer Stations. It is difficult for 10 people to work and interact efficiently in such small quarters. This Work Space also has vehicle parking within the Work Space at night due to ongoing vehicle parking shortages. With the above limitations and no expansion potential of this Work Space, some Staff will need to move to the Public Works site within a couple of years. Staff parking is also tight at Public Works. We will review the Village Parking Structure Work Space prior to finalizing this report. 2.The Public Works areas include the following and experience tight Staff parking on site: Carpentry currently occupies a full Bay with a partial mezzanine on a south bay with carpentry equipment, tools, building materials with Office Space behind the existing Landscape Bay as well as about half of another bay currently used for new outdoor furniture storage. Electrical currently occupies a full Bay with mezzanine on a north bay and has some outside storage for Street Light Poles and concrete bases. The office within the Bay is ample and organized for the on-site Staff. The balance of the Bay is also well-organized with clear and secure access to the inventory of Electrical parts, components and materials. Randy Guzik, Facilities Maintenance Supervisor 1.The Village location, though tight, allows good response time and access to Vail Village and other Town properties for maintenance and service work. However, about 3-4 years hence, Facilities Maintenance will need a new full Bay at Public Works for growth & operations. The following equipment and vehicles exist at this location: a.5 Trucks + need 1 new Truck b.Skidster c.Sweeper d.Sweeper e.Plumbing Supplies f.Drill Press g.Small Office with a single computer station used by 10 guys (more computers and less paper is needed) + need a new office for Randy/Supervisor h.Pumps, Motors, Piping, PVC and Wood Products i.Need their own Restroom within the Village Structure j.-lace to store the trailer) to deliver Sweeper to the new Parking Structure on the north frontage road due to no maintenance space being provided in the Parking Structure design. 2.Randy and about 9 other staff conduct their weekly staff meetings in the Village Parking Structure Breakroom. 2-3 of these staff members work night shifts. 3.Temporary storage and staging areas are needed frequently by various Public Works groups as they tend to poach and cross-store materials within one others areas when overflow storage and staging occurs. For example the new Lions Head Welcome Center furniture is now stored in part of the Bay next -all furniture, etc. in the Village Structure Bay. Similarly the old Greenhouse on the Public Works site has summer benches, filter barriers and other goods stored. It does seem that some The 20 year vision is there will be growth required for more buildings to maintain, more people, parking and equipment within the Department to meet those maintenance requirements. Adam Johnson, Electrical Supervisor 1.Adam and two other Staff members (Electrician and Helper) handle the current work load with 1 additional Electrical Staff member added in the foreseeable future for this north Electrical Bay at Public Works. This Bay with a partial mezzanine is deemed adequate due to organization and accessibility of parts and inventory. 2.Additional and organized Outdoor Cold Storage is needed for 60+ Light Fixture Heads, 60-80 Poles and 20-30 concrete bases, some of which currently take up valuable indoor area. The Poles should be stored horizontally on 3 outdoor storage racks with 5 racks high; the Fixture Heads should be stored on shelves and the concrete bases stored on grade along with other outside cold storage. Ideally this cold storage will be proximate to the north Electrical bay. 3.The outdoor storage bins do not work as well as a more accessible storage shed would be. 4.3 existing vehicles are stored/used on and off-site. 1 new Bucket Truck is needed to be used by Streets and for Building Maintenance to clean street light fixtures more often. Donald Gallegos, Master Carpenter 1.th side of Public Works a partial mezzanine above, all used for storage and various 10x10s, 12x12s, Plywood, boards, etc.) along with office and miscellaneous storage. 2.This work bay also houses a utility truck and seasonal vehicle stored indoors. 3.The existing ventilation within Carpentry should be maintained or enhanced for air quality. 4.Based on the need for a 2 table saws (1 for wood & 1 for aluminum), possible carpentry spray paint booth, sandblaster for signs and a new restroom it appears that 1.5 to 2 full bays may be needed to fully accommodate all operations and storage requirements. Facilities Maintenance Commentary on Public Works Wellness & Break Room 1.Common Wellness Center Needs: a.Would likely be used and hour before and/or after work shift by PW staff. b.Suggest 10-12 pieces of work out equipment including weights, treadmill, etc. c.Restroom 2.Common Break Room: a.Air Conditioning as well as improved ventilation b.Additional space for larger events (150-200 people) c.Larger more diverse Kitchen and possibly BBQ Grilles d.Serve as multi-purpose Commons Areas and Safety and other Programs, Conferences and seasonal staff meetings END. 90 BENCHMARK ROAD SUITE 207 PO BOX 5300 AVON, CO 81620 970/949-5200 FAX 949-5205 7 JUN 6, 2018 Public Works Staff Interviews John A.

END. 90 BENCHMARK ROAD SUITE 207 PO BOX 5300 AVON, CO 81620 970/949-5200 FAX 949-5205 7 JUN 28, 2018 Public Works Staff Interviews Transit Department Interview Notes Interviewees: Mike Rose, Transportation Manager Jordan Winters, Bus Supervisor By: Mark/VMDA RE: Master Plan Update Staff Interviews with Transit Department General Transit Department Notes - today (2 of which are temporary). The Buses will grow by 5 or 6 Buses to become 40+ by the best estimate and includes in-town and outlying routes. The outlying Bus Routes operate with 3 Buses in 10 minute loops. Currently Electric Buses are used on the shorter in-town routes and the Diesel Buses are used for the outlying routes. Transit needs about 10 additional parking spaces for employees on this site. A current challenge within Transit area is the Streets Department storing End Dumps, Blades, Snow Removal Equipment in 3 Bays which is intended for Transit Storage of 6 Buses, which should then be sufficient for the Transit Department. 1.Bus charging overnight will be needed for 12 Buses and on up to 40+ Buses as e-Buses overtake the Diesel fuel Buses. 2.The Heating System in the Bus Bays does not provide adequate heat and should be studied along with energy conservation efforts for loss of Bus Bay heat when large overhead doors are open. See narrative directly below. 3.Possible quick-action, vinyl overhead doors with vinyl windows could be installed at Bus Bays and at Wash Bay/Service areas to keep environmental heat in the Bus Bays & Vacuum/Service areas (in front of Wash Bay). The existing sectional overhead doors would be retained for security and opened in the morning and closed at night. During the work day, the vinyl doors would operate on a electric eye to open and close rapidly when a vehicle approaches and/or departs from one of these bays. 4.The open wall areas in and around the Vacuum/Service areas before the Wash Bay should be fully enclosed to allow more efficient usage and to protect from winter elements. 5.Due to Compressed Air Braking Systems for the Buses that are slow to start in cold weather, they run the Diesel Bus engines indoors with exhaust systems piped to the exterior without tempered make-up air. This causes major heat loss from the Bus Bays as well as excess diesel fuel consumption. A large air compressor is proposed to be on a timer overnight to pre-pressurize the diesel brakes to reduce fuel consumption, reduce the indoor idle time and to reduce heat loss from Bus Bays in concert with possible quick-acting vinyl overhead doors. 6.The overall notion of Transit is to reduce their carbon footprint in as many logical ways that can demonstrate a reasonable and efficient payback period. 7.The Fueling Station at the east end of the Bus Bays is shared with Fleet Maintenance and all Public Works vehicles and including Police and Fire Departments. A DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fuel) Fueling Station is needed to operate in concert with the other fuel types. The Fueling Station needs better lighting and more efficiency to serve vehicles faster at peak hours of fueling. Either more fuel storage or more frequent fuel deliveries will be needed in the future. 8.A storage area is needed for bulk cleaning supplies. 9. down over the south-facing overhead doors causing ice formations at door thresholds as well as ongoing snow removal maintenance and ice fall hazards. This will be studied along with expansion concepts. 10.Shop Security: There are too many unauthorized personnel who have access to the valuable tools, parts, etc. within the Transit Department. Cameras are needed along with a prioritized keying system for specific areas where some personnel are working alone at night. 11. It was noted that 5-more Bus turning area from departing Buses heading out the south doors is needed which could further impact parking. To that end it was observed that a few feet could be gained on the south edge of the property in enough areas to accommodate more Bus turning as well as additional employee parking. This could include 3- walls to expand the surface areas along a lot of the south side of the property. 12.Mike offered a planning concept to build behind the length of the Bus & Fleet Maintenance Bays to allow most or all of the requisite equipment, buses and other vehicles to be covered in winter conditions while each Department functions normally with the expansion. It provides for driving lanes within the new structure as well as a one-way drive behind the new structure from west to east to complete the driving lane around the property free-flowing and efficient. This will be explored in our Master Plan Concepts.

They manage their parts purchasing and warehousing along with managing the Shipping & Receiving for most if not all Town Departments, which may . The Parts & Shipping areas include Administration/Office for the Department which is adequate. 5:00am to 5:30pm. They no longer perform engine rebuilds (they now pull and replace engines) but do all other Mechanical Work and Maintenance as well as Body Work, which has maintains a back-log of work scheduled. These Maintenance services for the Town vehicles are expected to be quick. 1.The town-wide Shipping & Receiving has been a default operation due to convenience and needs an additional 150-200 SF so as to allow the Fleet Maintenance Parts Inventory to remain secure and available to only authorized Fleet Maintenance personnel. These shipped goods received and redistributed are town-wide and wide ranging in size and volume and include janitorial supplies along with other high volume dispensable products for the Town. According to Greg Hall consideration shou 2.The notion for expansion and inclusion of the items noted above is proposed to be by knocking out the non-bearing CMU wall between Parts & Streets and expand to the west. Removal of stairs in this area would be acceptable. 3.The Fleet Wash Bay (in front of the Vehicle Wash Bay also includes a Welding Bay. 4.Buses are brought in at night for maintenance for a quick turn-around. 5.No additional -ded by Fleet Maintenance; existing is adequate. 6.Improved lighting is needed in the existing Wash Bay; the Hotsie is still used along with Storage by Public Works. 7.Their single existing Restroom (lavatory & toilet) is overused as it currently includes use by the nd Streets guys. A 2 Unisex Restroom is needed adjacent to the existing that includes lavatory, toilet and urinal to mitigate the current overuse. Fleet Maintenance Lockers are adequate. The male/female ratio is about 10:1. Showers do not get used so are not needed for consideration. Create a new janitorial area with water to the west of locker room as part of parts room expansion to make room for new bathroom. 8.Space and accommodation for additional Bulk Oil Storage is needed beyond the existing single 250 gallon & two 125 gallon tanks. This will require plumbing of 5 new overhead hose reels per bulk tank. 9.A single new Parallelogram Lift (about $100,000 plus installation) is needed (to lift Fire Trucks) in addition to the 2 existing lifts. 10.As e-Buses are planned for arrival in about 2 years new Electric Charges will be needed in the Maintenance Bays. A new Generator (440A, 3-Phase, 100 Amps per charge) will also be needed to charge Buses when Holy Cross Electric experiences power outages and possible blackouts, from time to time. future operations, equipment, training, etc. 11.The Fleet Maintenance Break Room is independent of the larger Break Room within the facility and is in need of a new refrigerator/freezer and a bit of reorganizing for more efficient use throughout the work days. 12.Fleet Maintenance does not see the need for a Work Out/Wellness Area for their Staff.

Kristen and her staff including Mark Hoblitzell (who wrote grant for Buses and electric battery storage locations) and Peter Wadden (storm water quality control/filters) are available to assist and consult with our Master Plan Update Team regarding community solar generated power, storm water quality control and other sustainability options for the Public Works site. This assistance includes introduction to and collaboration with energy vendors, community system designers and funding mechanisms including Holy Cross Electric Association to join the Team. Discussion of Current Sustainability Options: Kristen shared the results of the Town Event Truck that has been outfitted with a 2.5 KW (2 panels) system, which can produce 2 KW/Hour for each panel. 1.Put excess Electric Power into the Grid to reduce carbon emissions 2.Battery Bank on site (Yellowstone Park Service Buffalo Ranch is a good example of large battery bank storage in remote area.) Battery Banks can shave the peak usage loads for a 24 hour cycle, though the batteries themselves may be difficult to procure. Battery back-up banks are essential for buses particularly when power outages occur. 3.Bus Kilowatts per space needs to be developed by vendors/suppliers 4.New Flyer, Prottera, and Gillig are potential vendor options 5.1.4 miles per KW seems to be the current standard for these buses (Estimated 650 x 32 - 20,800 KW for just the buses) 6.r excess solar generated power at an agreed upon rate. Discussion of Solar Power Generated: 1.Typical Solar Panel = 4 x 8 1 KWH/Day or 30 KWH/MO/Panel 2.4 KW needs 28 SQ Meters of Roof 3.4,000 SQ/MT/Acre = 500 KW per acre 4.3,500 KW Panels System maximum x 850 KWH/YR = 2,975,000 KWH x .1 = $290,000/YR or $24,000/MO in electricity generated 5.The 20% rule does not exist for Towns cap for Terra PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) 6.Publics Works Department uses about $26,000/YR or 30,500 KWH (This does not include Storage, Admin or Buzzard Park Apartments) 7.Build Grant may include Storage Lonal Grant500,000 E-Bus Grant 8.Bus Costs 500,000 for diesel / verse $750,000.00 9.Big Horn Sheep habitat area will prevent ground mounted solar panels in some of our site areas. Roof Top panels are preferred except where we are able to make use of ground mounted solar so if possible to put on the roof, this is better than putting it on the ground. Potential Community Consultants/Providers: 1.Sunsense Solar 2.Active Energies Solar, LLC 3.Solar City (could be devolving with Tesla) 4.Holy Cross Electric Association Action Items for Environmental Sustainability Manager: In closing, the Master Plan Update Team is requesting assistance from the Environmental Sustainability group in the following aspects of support: 1.Procurement of Consultant and Community Solar Vendor to provide assessments of current and future usage for the PW site. 2.Preparation of benefit analysis for new water quality standards for waste and storm water for the PW site. 3.Procurement of Consultant to assess solar and battery storage applications compatible with the Bus products being purchased for the Town in 2020. 4.Assistance with waste diversion/recycle for the PW site.

Funding can be from a variety of sources. The following are known housing project statistics with interesting partnerships, funding sources and ownership patterns. 1.Lions Ridge Apartments (Previously Timber Ridge Apartments) were developed on Town owned land with private developer to reduce Town risk and to get it built. They turned away from the I-70 corridor for sound attenuation. Parking for this project was an average of 1.4 vs 2 average parking spaces/unit. The cost of 114 Units all in for the 3-stories of wood frame construction with surface parking was $27MM exclusive of land cost on 5.24 acres. Low 600 to 900 SQ FT one and two bedrooms units with minimal offsite improvement costs. 2.Buzzard Park was developed by the Town on Town owned land. 3.Public/Private Partnerships can be productive with a variety of business plans based on who owns land, how long the developer manages for profit and length of time to turn back over to the Town. 4.First Chair Apartments in Lions Head was developed by VRI on their own land. Parking for this project was an average of less than 1 parking space per unit. 5.Vail Commons was built on Town owned land by private developer with commercial interests to offset infrastructure costs. 6.The Boarding House Telluride, CO has 14 to 16 Rooms with more common space and has been well-received by the seasonal resident employees. 7.6 West Project in Edwards, CO is a modular housing project set for delivery in OCT/ NOV 2018 and includes a Community Center, Commercial Kitchen, a Movie Room and Fitness Area with indoor and limited outdoor spaces, hence the amenities. 8. box: a.We do not have the option or the luxury of NOT building housing on the Public Works site, b.Increasing and optimizing density by downsizing housing units, c.Future housing cannot be for sale and must be rented for seasonal, FTE and transitional housing, d. 9.Are Sola 10. niche) with non-traditional thinking. Housing mixes and styles of living will be explored, based on Seasonal and FTE Staff housing needs. 11.Vail Health Center has lost all but 20% of their parking spaces. The remaining parking spaces are now for critical need patients. They now use shuttles to manage parking during construction for three years. Maybe it should be permanent leading to a potential reduction in parking spaces for some types of work force housing? 12.Site access is a challenge to residents without conflict with industrial operations and bus traffic in concert with long daily hours of Public Works operations. 13.Housing on the Public Works Site: How do we build and justify the housing with ongoing municipal expenses to help control long term costs of housing to the Town? 14.Public Works Master Planning Assumptions & Review of Opportunities: a.Existing Administration Building may need to either be demolished and/or moved to allow more housing at east end of site. As a 5,000 SF Administration area for limited population of staff is not the best use of the existing building footprint. b.Wvailable in the future? Who knows, maybe land values will become high enough to accommodate a below-grade parking. c.Utilize non-traditional approaches to the Public Works Master Plan Development. d.Parking can either occur beneath the restored wildlife corridor or the wildlife corridor can be displaced locally. The East Vail Parcel Critical Range goes from East Vail to the Public Works Site and may be altered over time. e.This is one the last chunks of land left so this might be the best place for housing. f.Optimize Land Use because single story structures do not work on such valuable housing sites, particularly in this situation.

The Fiber was developed here around 1997-98. 2.Fiber then goes to a closet in the middle of the Bus Barn and also to the upper level of the Facilities Building. The new Fiber now goes back to the Village Transportation Center. 3.The new fiber would be in the Public Works Administration Building and come down Frontage Road and through Public Works site. 4.With Master Plan 20-Year Update, new fiber will then go back to the Municipal Complex. The Fiber currently in place is pre-2000 and is old because it wears out. We cannot do 10 Gig on the fiber as it only has 6 strands. When one strand is bad, so we are down to 5 strands. 5.A 288 count single mode fiber in Housing and Public Works upgrades. 6.State of the Art Facilities should be provided for internet/social media/etc. for Buzzard Park which is the highest usage access point in town. 7.Cabling to the Buildings is cost neutral. There is a primary fiber feed to each building. Copper has a limit of 300 feet with typically 3 drops to each jack in the building. 8.IT Fiber comes to site, cellular carrier on site Crown Castle and these cannot move along with the equipment shed at the Southwest corner. Private Fiber is going out there and Century Link Fiber goes out there, we need to know where those are at.

The site capacity is also intended to accommodate additional storage and some operational needs from the Vail Recreation District and Fire and Police Departments. These items are critical to address the long-term needs of the Public Works and Transportation Department and to facilitate collaborative Town efforts for ongoing Housing Development and Utility Grade Solar infrastructure. Housing Development and Utility Grade Solar Infrastructure Needs This Master Plan Update is being embraced by Council and is in the hopper to budget with the understanding that the project must have a visible strategy for significant additional housing development and long term solar energy solutions. It is critical to address and offset the Public Works site energy needs in concert with offsetting energy consumption for Town Snow-Melt Systems in order to live up to our commitment of becoming a sustainable community. 1.Discussion Points for Housing Development Needs: a.Housing is intended to be for the exclusive use of Town Employees. b.We must look way ahead and beyond our current housing needs. c.Though not ideal we need to retain the Buzzard Park Housing for the foreseeable future. d.We need to provide a variety of housing types for Town Employees with tenure. e.Bunker and Dormitory style housing works for seasonal employees and some singles; it appears we may need to provide some housing to accommodate some kids and pets. f.Live-Work Housing must be identified and included among the future housing types. g.In general the Town is losing younger employees after 2-3 years. Therefore new and creative Housing Types are needed to assist in facilitation of employee retention. h.Council is currently targeting Buy-Down Programs, Grants and Credits for entry level and seasonal employees. i. new units in 10 ye j.Due to the increased Housing, a new Transit Stop will be needed at the Public Works site. k.Town Manager and Housing Director are simpatico with the responsible reduction of cars relative to the sizes and types of housing units l.The recent Telluride, CO Public Works Housing Development project has proven to be successful though it had critics throughout the public review process for combining housing with buses and snow plows. 2.Discussion Points for Utility Grade Solar Infrastructure Needs: a.Utility Grade Solar Infrastructure is needed to provide the offset costs for Public Works site needs as well as for Town Snow-Melt Systems. This directive is intended to bring Vail into the future as a more and more sustainable community as expansions of solar applications continue through the duration of this Master Plan Update and beyond. b.The Town Snow-Melt issue and strategy will continue to be a lightning rod between the Council and Community. c.Holy Cross Energy is the target for our Utility Grade Solar Infrastructure partner and has the leadership, desire and commitment to be a strong partner. Their forward movement, diversity and expanded services toward offsetting traditional power and sustainable energy and services that improve the quality of life for our members d.We will consider solar installations at roof tops, ground and free-standing mounted structures and other solar applications as each new and/or remodeled structure evolves. The applications at Public Works Buildings will likely serve their needs directly while other installations on site over time will address Town Snow-Melt and other Town utility offsets. Each step of new and/ or remodel development of structures and site e. assisting in these evaluat f.The Town will seek collaborative partnerships (HCE), Grants and Credits in these ongoing and sequential Solar System Developments to dove-tail with the phases of development produced from the execution of this Master Plan Update.

Chief of Police Dwight Henninger is also the De-Facto Town Emergency Management Director. It is expected the 65 will grow to about 70 within 10 years with another 5-6 temporary Police Staff. There is one full week of Police Officer Training twice a year. All Vail Police Officers are required to live within 45 minutes to insure response time. Current Vail Police interaction with Public Works includes Fuel, Wash and Maintenance of Vail Police Vehicles along with the PW Impound Yard (which could be narrower and longer and be - Vail Police Needs at Public Works Site 1.Mobile Communica due to $100K in communications and electronic equipment being inside. This regional asset is currently stored at the West Vail Fire Station and needs to be relocated for Fire usage. 2.Temporary indoor Storage for a vehicle that needs to be impounded until a Search Warrant may be issued. This could be done in the Paint Booth if it meets the standards for security. 3.Rescue Vehicle (58,000 pounds) Storage that currently resides at the Avon Public Works Facility on a temporary basis. 4.Need secure Storage Lockers within Fleet Maintenance to secure vehicle Police Gear while being maintained and serviced. 5.Emergency Community Needs: Under emergency circumstances significant storage for drinking water, diesel and other fuels will be needed along with an Emergency Power Generator. In these times, Bus dependency for transportation could address emergency situations. The emergency power supply would allow water and fuel to be pumped without interruption.

Vail Fire personnel train continuously and provide an image and message of safety to the community that includes emergency medical, public awareness and continuous training as well as full response to all alarms. Surprisingly, Vail Fire personnel spend about 4% of their time each year fighting fires. Their Target Arrival Time at a scene is 4 minutes (240 seconds) and is critical to meeting community expectations. (This is due in part to the fact that when fires do occur, fire growth is more rapid, the temperature is hotter and the products of combustion are more toxic than when a fire occurs in a Employee retention at Vail Fire is a huge need. About 35% of Vail Fire personnel live in the Denver and the front-range area and commute for their work days in Vail. This long-distance living is also growing into Buena Vista, Salida, Eagle and Gypsum CO. Vail Fire feels the attraction to future staff housing needs would include a functional home with personal storage and parking for mostly young families. The following Public Works Site needs were discussed: 1.Vail Dispatch based in Vail Police Department has a Mobile Communications Unit that is West Vail Fire Station as it needs to be stored in a tempered environment due to containing about $100,000 in value of communications equipment. The storage bay needed at Public Vail Fire needs their bay that the MCU is stored in for other Fire purposes. 2.Vail Fire has thold Ford cab-over Fire Pumper Truck that is also stored outdoors at Public Works. The idea is that this vintage truck may be restored as a part of 3.3a combination of Fire Hose Testing and Extrication Training Area. Such Staff Training operations currently take place for a few days each, twice a year. This area would also need a Fire Hydrant and would be staged with 3 Fire Engines and an SUV on-site during these Staff Training Operations. An additional need could include a Staff Training for Smoke Rooms, etc. (this is not intended rstand if this need would In summary, Vail Fire feels their opportunities at the Public Works site would be beneficial and cooperative for all beyond their fuel, wash and maintenance of their vehicle assets at Public Works, as follows: 1.Better quality housing for some segments of Vail Fire personnel 2.Storage and Training opportunities beyond existing capabilities 3.Would collectively assist in employee retention. Additional input was provided regarding possible alternatives for consideration the current snow removal, trucking and snow dump/storage at Public Works, as follows: 1.Yes, increase the snow dump/storage volume by 50% while also staging a large blower to stack the snow higher and away from the electric power lines. 2.In lieu of trucking snow removal to Public Works, perhaps consider converting over time to using rotary plows that would blow the snow out of rights-of-way onto private front yards. This is a huge paradigm shift and would require community input but could, over time, free up the Snow Dump/Storage site for yet more housing, should the circumstances prevail.

All their Golf Carts and vehicles are serviced at Public Works. About 95% of the VRD Shipping and Receiving comes direct to the VRD Golf Clubhouse. ke) which is a relatively small portion of their overall storage in and around the Golf Course, Lower Bench of Ford Park and others described in the noted attachment. This specific storage is requested at the Public Works site. The current storage facilities for these items causes truck traffic and loading/unloading operations at the lower Bench of Ford Park, which is in conflict with the heavy pedestrian users of the Ford Park area. Additionally at the Public Works site they need vehicle storage for 5 Ford F250 Trucks and a single 4 or so VRD Sporting Events each year such as bike, whitewater and running races that occur in and around Eagle County. This will free up parking and traffic at Ford Park which is now used by VRD and works . Additionally, the storage of 2 Fairway Mowers is needed at the Public Works site in the winter. Their General Objectives are three-fold: 1.EFFICIENCY: Centralized Storage at Public Works for Sports and Athletic Field #6 Storage would allow more spacious and organized storage whereby inventory is readily available for exiting to events and returning these items directly after the events. This will cause more efficiency in critical personnel time than working out of the somewhat scattered and over- stuffed areas of current storage facilities to supply these events. h is unsafe for much of the equipment. The facility can also include overhead garage doors for direct loading and unloading as well as a mezzanine for lighter weight goods and equipment to maximize the volume and types of storage needs. 2.SECURITY: For the Storage requested at Public Works, there can be compartmentalized and secure bays in divided and lockable cages, therefore minimizing loss of equipment and sports gear. 3.SAFETY: VRD Storage areas are accessed every day of the year. By reducing vehicular and truck traffic and eliminating loading and unloading in the Ford Park area, visitor and pedestrian traffic will be safer. Many of the staff that conducts these operations are volunteers that understand less about truck maneuvers and loading/unloading than full-time staff. With the Storage Needs met at the Public Works industrial site the loading and unloading operations can be performed directly and safely with proper warehousing/storage access and design with racks and floor mounted containers. The Staff of VRD feels that these opportunities at the Public Works site can allow for better growth, more efficiency in these areas and for accessibility and safety while improving Town assets. END.

Executive Summary This is an electrical site observation completed by Stanton Humphrieswith Architectural Engineering Consultants walking through with Adam Johnson, TOV Public Works. We are providing observations and comments for future rework, remodeling and additions to the buildings and site. The primary observations are, I.Overhead pole utility power is routed around the northand west portions of the property. The power poles and utility transformers are located up the mountainside. Services to the buildings are adequate. It would be recommended to set utility transformers closer to the buildings and provide better utility access to transformers for maintenance and replacement in case of emergency. II.Internal building electrical distribution is adequate throughout the Administration and Maintenance Buildings. Any opportunity to rework the existing incoming distribution and replace some of powerdistribution panels within the Maintenance Building should be pursued. Emergency power distribution is limited to a generator dedicated to thefleet fuel pumps. III.Interior lighting at both buildings is primarily fluorescent lights with retrofit LED lamping. At the bus barn new LED lighting with motion controlshas been installed. Lighting throughout the facilities are adequate. Lighting controls are primarily on/off switches with some motion control. IV.Exterior lighting at both buildingsis primarily wall and pole mounted fixtures with retrofit LED lamping. These fixtures are not cut off type and would not be considered Dark Sky compliant. Lighting controls are traditional photocell and timeclock controls. 40801 US Hwy 6 & 24,Suite 214,Eagle-Vail, CO 81620 Post Office Box 8489,Avon, CO 81620 phone: 970-748-8520 email: stan@aec-vail.com:www.aec-vail.com TOV Maintenance Administration RedevelopmentElectrical Site ObservationPage 2 of 7 August 29, 2018 Electrical Site Observation: Met with Adam Johnson, TOV Public Works to walk through the site on Wednesday 8/8/18. I.Utility Transformers and Incoming Services: Adam and I walked the perimeter of the property to review the existing services in place. The utility has a set ofoverheadpower polelinesrun directly north of the property, up the mountainside, and at the west end of the property turning towards the south. These power lines feed the following transformers. 1.At the northeast corner of the property, up the mountainside, the utility has two transformers, one transformer feeding the TOV Administration Building and the second transformer feeding the housing directly north and east of the Administration Building. The underground incoming service to the Administrative Building is a 200 amp120/208V 3P servicefed with 250 MCM aluminum feeders.The transformer is approximately 250’ away from the building. 2.Directly north of the Maintenance Building, up the mountainside, the utility has a pad mounted transformer fed from the utility poles. The service for the maintenance building is routed directly from this transformer down the mountainside into an electrical manhole outside of the building, then into the main electrical room. The service size is a 930 amps 277/480V 3P service fed with 3 sets of 500 MCM aluminum feeders. The transformer is approximately 275’ from the building. 3.Directly west of the AT&Tcell towera third transformer feeds the cell tower and the TOV storage shed (“3 door shed”) that is located towards the west end of the site. The service size is approximately 100 amps 120/208V 3P. The power panel set here feeds loads at the shed,exterior lighting and some block heater receptacles. nd Utility transformers at northwest corner of property.

TOV Maintenance Administration RedevelopmentElectrical Site ObservationPage 3 of 7 August 29, 2018 It’s unusual to have transformers located away from commercial properties. We normally locate transformers as closeto the buildings as possible to minimize voltage drop. Utilities also have a policy to have ready access to their utility transformersincase replacement or maintenance is required. The existing utility transformer locations are not readily accessible, there’s a rough jeep trail providingaccess. II. Internal Building Electrical Distribution: The Administration Building meter and main disconnect are locatednear the center of the north side of the building. The 200 amp 120/208V 3P disconnect has a short run of wire to the interior main power panel. The main power panel distributes to two other sub panels. The service and power distribution are adequate, the power panels are in fair to good condition. AdministrationBuildingincoming Administration Building Main service CTs and Main Disconnect Power Panel. TOV Maintenance Administration RedevelopmentElectrical Site ObservationPage 4 of 7 August 29, 2018 The Maintenance Building meter and maindistribution centerare located towards the west end of the building. The main electrical room at this location has a CT cabinet with splicesfeeding two 800 ampmain distribution panels. One maindistribution panel is in the main electrical room and feeds the greenhouse, two trash compactors and one unidentified load. The second distribution panelhas three main switches,400/3barn boiler room, 400/3 Welding,400/3 Old Gutter. Maintenance Buildingincoming Maintenance Building Main Distribution service splice at CTs Panel, one of two. These maindistribution panels feed the power panels throughout the Maintenance Building. Most panels are in fair shape, some poor and in need of replacement. The panels are located as far as 500’ when you’ve run to the other end of the building where the fleet fueling station is. There would be a concern for voltage drop when running this long of a distance. TOV Maintenance Administration RedevelopmentElectrical Site ObservationPage 5 of 7 August 29, 2018 The incoming service isnot heavily loaded.

Traffic Counts: Turning Movement Counts (TMCs) were taken at the intersection of South Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive/Elkhorn Drive on December 13, 2018. Counts were performed from 6:30am to 8:30am (morning) and from 3:00pm to 5:00pm (evening). A copy of the count data is included. South Frontage Road: South Frontage Road is a roadway under CDOT jurisdiction and is classified as F-R per the CDOT State Highway Access Code (SHAC). The posted speed limit is 45mph, and the Town and CDOT do have variable speed limit signs in the vicinity that do change the speed limit during events. Auxiliary Turn Lanes: Per the SHAC, auxiliary turn lanes are triggered based upon traffic volumes, safety and operational conditions. The threshold for an eastbound left turn deceleration lane at the S. Frontage Road and Elkhorn Drive intersection is 10 vehicles per hour (vph) or greater. The threshold for a westbound right turn deceleration lane is 25vph or greater. The threshold for a southbound right turn acceleration lane is 50vph or greater. Per the existing traffic counts, there were 11vph during the morning and 13vph during the evening for the eastbound left turns. Therefore, the existing volumes warrant an eastbound left turn deceleration lane based upon existing conditions. For the westbound right turn lane, there were 1vph during the morning and 2vph during the during the evening for the westbound right turns. These existing volumes do not trigger a right turn deceleration lane. For the southbound right turn lane, there were 18vph during the morning and 26vph during the during the evening for the southbound right turns. These existing volumes do not trigger a southbound right turn acceleration lane. The southbound left acceleration lane may be warranted by safety and operational concerns. Based upon the low turning movement volumes, this lane is not warranted. However, operational changes, substantial turn volume addition, and/or future accident rates may warrant this lane in the future. CDOT Access Permit: CDOT requires that an access permit be submitted when an access will be increased by 20% of its volume, if there is a change of land use, or if there are identified safety problems. The existing volume of Elkhorn Drive per the December counts is 32vph for the morning and 47vph for the evening. Based upon these volumes, an increase of greater than 6vph would trigger the 20% threshold for the submittal for an Access Permit. Page 1 of 2 Turn Lane Construction Timing: Based upon the existing volumes, an eastbound left turn deceleration lane is warranted now. However, the requirement for the timing of construction of a turn lane will be when an access permit is submitted. This could be when the 20% threshold is triggered or earlier. Additional Capacity on Site: The public works facility is proposed be replaced with a larger structure, but is not anticipated to increase traffic volumes, as the additional structure size will allow many of the onsite vehicles to be parked inside of a garage rather than in a parking lot. We understand that the overall vehicle trips will not change These operational specifics should be discussed and yard size as its metric for the determination of trip generation. Additionally, they will require an anticipated Year 2040 public works operations which are likely to increase over time. Future Phases: 4 total phases have been identified, as listed below: Approximate Traffic Volume Anticipated Improvements Phase Description Increase Needed * Construct new public Construct Eastbound Left Turn 1 No Net increase in Traffic works facility Deceleration Lane Add 12-24 new Additional 5 to 8vph for 12 units 2 None housing units Additional 9 to 14vph for 24 units Construct Southbound Right Add 40 more housing 3 Additional 13 to 20vph for 40 units Acceleration Lane or Mini units Roundabout Add 56 more housing units (80 new units, 4 Additional 18 to 27vph for 56 units None and removal of 24 units) * These anticipated improvements are for planning purposes only. A final CDOT traffic analysis is required to validate these findings. Trip Generation Rates: For the purpose of this memorandum, two different trip generation rates were utilized. Traffic turning movement counts were conducted at the Timber Ridge and Lions Ridge Apartments on December 1, 2018. A derived rate was utilized based upon the number of housing units and the traffic volumes. These rates represent the lower of the ranges shown above. th 1 National rates from the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10 Edition were used to estimate the traffic volumes for the proposed housing units. These rates represent the higher of the ranges shown above. Next Steps: The improvements described above are considered preliminary and are subject to the completion of a final CDOT traffic analysis. McDowell Engineering can complete the phased traffic study upon a final phased plan. 1th ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) Trip Generation Manual, 10 Edition, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Map Vicinity 00 0 Data 000 Bicycle Hour 00 Peak 000 0 0 0 0 0 Data Pedestrian Hour 0 Peak 0 0 0 Buses) 11308 15 17 (Cars,Trucks,& Data 01 Hour 23 98 11 18 Peak Map Vicinity 00 0 Data 000 Bicycle Hour 00 Peak 000 0 0 0 0 0 Data Pedestrian Hour 0 Peak 0 1 0 Buses) 29111 127 42 (Cars,Trucks,& Data 23 Hour 45 13 102 26 Peak 5020 CountyRoad 154 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Phone: (970) 945-7988 Fax: (970) 945-8454 Email: hpkglenwood@kumarusa.com Office Locations: Parker, Glenwood Springs, and Silverthorne, Colorado GEOLOGIC HAZARDS REVIEW PROPOSED TOWN OF VAIL PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY DEVELOPMENT 1309 ELKHORN DRIVE, VAIL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO PROJECTNO.18-7-606 NOVEMBER 6, 2018 PREPARED FOR: VICTOR MARK DONALDSON ARCHITECTS ATTN: MARK DONALDSON P.O.
