VAIL TOW N COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
Agenda
Town Council Chambers
2:05 PM, August 6, 2019
Notes:
Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine what time Council will
consider an item.
Public comment on any agenda item may be solicited by the Town Council.
1.Presentation / Discussion
1.1.Streamtract Encroachment Update 30 min.
Presenter(s): Pete Wadden, Watershed Education Coordinator
Action Requested of Council: Staff requests direction from town council
concerning next steps in the process of eliminating encroachments on town-
owned stream tract.
Background: Town environmental staff performed an inspection of town-
owned stream tract in July of 2019. At the time of inspection, 26 private
encroachments on town-owned stream tract remained. The encroachments
varied in size and scope from narrow, mowed paths to extensive
landscaping and permanent structures. Similarly, cooperation from property
owners varied from rapid compliance to refusal, issue of court summonses
and counter lawsuits. New violations are observed and documented by town
staff every year, but the appearance of new encroachments has
consistently been outnumbered by encroachments that have been
corrected, so progress has been made. One of the major accomplishments
of the last few years was the town’s project to restore a large area of creek
front behind Village Center, across the creek from Gore Creek Promenade,
as part of a larger riparian planting effort in Vail Village.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends council authorize them to issue
court summons to 24 of the 26 property owners who have persistent stream
tract encroachments and have not cooperated with staff efforts to have them
removed.
1.2.Proposed Capital Plan- 2020 Budget and Five Year Plan 60 min.
Presenter(s): Carlie Smith, Financial Services Manager; Greg Hall,
Director of Public Works and Transportation
Action Requested of Council: Staff requests feedback from Council in
preparation of the Town Manager’s budget, which will come before Council
for a first look on September 3rd and ordinance readings on October
1st and October 15th.
Background: On July 2nd, staff shared a preliminary draft of the five year
capital plan. The purpose of this work session is to provide Council more
in-depth information on the more significant or new capital projects
proposed as a part of the 2020 budget.
Staff Recommendation: Provide feedback to staff on preliminary long term
capital planning.
1.3.Initial Discussions Regarding a Potential Future Redevelopment of the 30 min.

Stream Tract Encroachment Update Presentation
August 6, 2019 - Page 3 of 102
To: Vail Town Council
From: Environmental Department
Date: August 6, 2019
Subject: Gore Creek Stream Tract
I. Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum and presentation is to provide an update on the effort to
restore town-owned property along Gore Creek and some of its tributaries by working with
adjacent property owners to remove encroachments.
II. Background
The Town of Vail owns approximately 40% of the property along Gore Creek as well as parcels
along Booth Creek and Mill Creek. Most of this town-owned stream tract is sandwiched between
private property and the creek. The Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan identifies the restoration
of riparian habitat along Gore Creek on both public and private land as a key action in the effort
to Restore the Gore. The 2018 Community Survey indicated strong support for these efforts
within the community with 86% of respondents supportive of an increase to stream setback
regulations and 85% supportive of a no-mow zone along Gore Creek on private property.
On October 6, 2009, Town Council adopted a “zero tolerance” policy for allowing illegal private
encroachments on town-owned stream tract lands and instructed staff to pursue removal of all
encroachments. Town environmental staff inspected and originally discovered 68 private
encroachments and disturbances into the public stream tract. These inspections identified
numerous properties that have modified or encroached onto sensitive riparian areas including,
but not limited to; landscaping town-owned riparian property; building decorative planters; using
the areas for recreational seating; or in more severe cases building structures, such as patios
and a basketball court on town-owned properties. Through annual inspections and targeted
outreach town staff has been able to work with many owners to mitigate private encroachments
resulting in written agreements to stop mowing, landscaping and remove structures on public
property.
III. Current Status
Town environmental staff performed an inspection of town-owned stream tract in July of 2019.
At the time of inspection, 26 private encroachments on town-owned stream tract remained. The
encroachments varied in size and scope from narrow, mowed paths to extensive landscaping
and permanent structures. Similarly, cooperation from property owners varied from rapid
compliance to refusal, issue of court summonses and counter lawsuits. New violations are

observed and documented by town staff every year, but the appearance of new encroachments
has consistently been outnumbered by encroachments that have been corrected, so progress
has been made. One of the major accomplishments of the last few years was the town’s project
to restore a large area of creek front behind Village Center, across the creek from Gore Creek
Promenade, as part of a larger riparian planting effort in Vail Village.
Each year, environmental staff sends certified letters to all property owners suspected of being
responsible for stream tract violations. As information and outreach from the Restore the Gore
campaign has reached more community members, more of these property owners have
responded positively to letters sent from the town and worked with environmental staff to correct
their stream tract encroachments. Fourteen properties along Booth Creek, on Manns Ranch
Road and Booth Falls Road responded in this way in 2019.
Another tool that used is to withhold building permits from properties confirmed to be
responsible for stream tract violations until those violations are corrected. This strategy has
been an effective way to encourage property owners who have not voluntarily removed
encroachments to come into compliance.
IV. Next Steps
In 2019, town staff already has specific plans in place to work with several property owners to
correct several more encroachments largely through cessation of mowing. Town landscape
architects are also working with River Restoration, a design firm, to complete a planting and
stormwater treatment project on town-owned stream tract behind Vail Trails Chalets and Vail
Trails East. Residents and property managers have been cooperative and engaged in this
process.
Town Environmental staff will also update and replace signs that mark boundaries between
town-owned stream tract and private property in 2019. The signs will match the Project Re-Wild
brand used to demarcate riparian restoration projects on other town-owned parcels and provide
education about the importance of healthy riparian habitat in the effort to Restore the Gore.
All 40 properties that were documented to be out of compliance in 2018 received certified letters
from the town informing them of their encroachments and instructing them to remove them. Two
properties that remain out of compliance at this time are progressing toward removing their
encroachments and have been cooperative with town staff. In these specific cases (Riverhouse
at 83 Willow Place and Vail Trails Chalets at 413 Gore Creek Drive East), staff does not
recommend issuing court summons for fear of souring the good will that is currently facilitating
that progress. In the 24 other cases of stream tract encroachments in town, staff has met with
intransigence from property owners and plan to proceed with court summons in August, 2019.

2020 Capital Budget and Five Year Plan
August 6, 2019 - Page 30 of 102
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Town Manager / Department Heads
DATE: August 6, 2019
SUBJECT: 2020 Capital and RETT
I. SUMMARY
On July 2nd, staff shared the five year capital plan from last year’s budget process. The purpose of this work session is to provide Council more in-depth information on the more significant or new capital projects proposed as a part of the 2020 budget.
II.BACKGROUND
Many of the capital budget requests align with several topics of importance to both TownCouncil and the community at large. Housing, Parking, Civic Area improvements and
Environmental Sustainability are among the top priorities. These projects work to achieve goalsstated in the Council Action Plan focus areas:
COMMUNITY: Engage our community in honoring social, recreational, cultural and educational values that will guide sustainable strategies throughout our neighborhoods as the foundation of our town’s continued success. Ensure that our citizens are afforded the opportunity to live and thrive in
our community.
EXPERIENCE: Deliver on the promise, Vail.
Like nothing on earth that also supports “preserving our natural environment”.
ECONOMY: Preserve our vibrant and diverse economy that keeps Vail at the forefront of our resort competitors.
SUSTAINABILITY: Balance our economic, environmental and social needs to deliver a sustainable community
August 6, 2019 - Page 31 of 102
COMMUNITY As a significant priority of the “Community” goals within the Council Action Plan the new Housing Department as well as a Housing Fund was created in 2018. The 2020 five year capital plan proposes an annual amount of $2.5M transferred into the Housing Fund from the Capital Projects Fund to continue the success of the Vail INDEED Program. In addition, the town participated in several successful housing public private partnerships through the purchase of deed restrictions at the Solar Vail Housing Development (65 deed restrictions) and at the newly-constructed 6 West Apartments in Edwards (26 deed restrictions). Both of those projects
included a prioritization of Vail employees for available units. To date, the program has added approximately 119 deed restrictions at an average cost of $44,553 per bedroom or $82 per square foot. Over the last three years, funding to address housing needs in the town have
totaled $10.4M, not including a $4.3M subsidy of the Chamonix Neighborhood homes. Other community related proposed capital projects include a sidewalk at the East Vail
interchange underpass, reconstruction of Nugget Lane Bridge, and a public alert system at the fire stations to better coordinate with Eagle River Fire District and improve response times.
EXPERIENCE Council and staff continue to strive for improving the guest experience by providing more
parking options and enhancements. The 2020 capital budget includes a placeholder to fund new camera equipment and software for the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures to mirror the new system installed at the Red Sandstone parking structure. The cameras and
software not only improve guest safety, but also enhance parking availability “counts”. The ability to communicate available parking more timely and accurately will greatly improve the guest experience.
While the 2019 budget includes planning and design for a redevelopment of the Vail Nature Center, staff will bring back recommendations to address more urgent needs at a future budget discussion. A separate agenda item will inform Council of water and sewer concerns as well as ADA accessibility issues, along with a proposal to remedy these issues prior to the redevelopment budgeted for 2022. With transportation impacting the experience for both residents and guests, the proposed 2020 capital budget includes the replacement of 7 hybrid-electric buses with electric buses ($6.9M) as originally included in the long term capital plan. Another $1.4M is proposed for the electric charging stations for those buses, however that expenditure will be offset by a $1.1M grant.
The Public Works Shops improvements have been included per Town Council’s approval to move forward with design and planning. Total construction costs are proposed at a total of
$17.5M between 2019 – 2020. A fire station alert system is proposed in the 2020 capital budget. The system has been included
in the five year capital plan for the last two budget cycles so is not a new request. A station alerting is a system that automates the transmission of alarm notifications from the dispatch center to each fire station. The benefits of this system include decreased alarm processing time
(fire crew can prepare while dispatch is still talking with the caller, and delivery of more accurate and more intelligible information to station crew, among other benefits.
Town of Vail Page 2
August 6, 2019 - Page 32 of 102
ECONOMY
The 2020 proposed capital budget includes a placeholder of $1.0M to continue the Civic Area Plan process such as funding to begin some design concepts to determine feasibility of the various “white box” ideas included in the plan to date. Currently there are no funds allocated to construction of any public improvements. Future capital projects within the defined civic area will utilize Tax Increment Financing (TIF) dollars, which is a Council priority within the “Economy” goals of the Council Action Plan.
In partnership with the Northwest Council of Government, the town will be able to provide significantly improved wireless service for residents and guests. With implementation of “Project THOR” in 2019 and the construction of a redundant data center at the West Vail Fire
Station, the final phase of the town’s redundancy plan is a secondary fiber optic connection between the municipal building and the West Vail station. This request ($150K) is proposed in the 2020 capital plan.
SUSTAINABILITY
Within Environmental goals, the 2020 proposed RETT budget includes funding to continue implementation of the Gore Creek Water Quality Plan and program updates required to maintain Vail’s global sustainable destination certification, a continuation of Actively Green programming
in the business community, and continued participation in Energy Smart Colorado to help meet the town’s climate goals. The proposed budget also includes funding for a second year of the US Forest Service Front Country Ranger Program and a continuation of the successful initiatives and education surrounding Gore Creek Water Quality Strategic Plan. New capital requests proposed for 2020 in the RETT Fund includes an annual set-aside of $250,000 for the purchase of open space land, solar panels at the Public Works Shops ($1.1M), the second phase of the Gore Creek Interpretive Signage ($81K), a pilot program for town-wide E-bikes ($25K) and a biodiversity study ($50K). III. 2020 CAPITAL BUDGET Staff has provided a preliminary five year capital plan for the Capital Projects Fund, Housing Fund and the Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund. The capital project worksheets have been re-organized into departmental / functional categories. In addition, items are color -coded if they
are new additions, have a cost increase or a change in timing (budget year).
Increased Cost from prior year
Newly added
Shift in year
For today’s discussion, department representatives will present the more significant projects that are proposed for 2020. Staff has included project narratives for each of the projects being discussed. The attached narratives summarize the scope, timing, capital costs, future operating
impacts, photos and any other pertinent information for discussion. The discussion is intended
Town of Vail Page 3
August 6, 2019 - Page 33 of 102
to provide Council with detailed information and allow for Council inquiries well ahead of the
budget ordinance readings. Please note this is not the final review of these projects. The purpose of this discussion is to provide information on each project for the budgeting process. While a project may be appropriated by Council, that doesn’t mean the project goes forward without additional approvals.
Below is a listing of the projects that will be presented: Capital Projects Fund _______________________________________________________________________
1. Parking structure camera system placeholder (C-1)
2. Electric bus charges (C-2)
3. Neighborhood bridge reconstruction (C-3)
4. East Vail Interchange Underpass Sidewalk (C-4)
5. Fire station Alert system (C-5)
Housing Fund _______________________________________________________________________ 1. InDEED program is proposed at $2.5M annually. (H-1)
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund _______________________________________________________________________
1. Sunbird Fountain Repairs (R-1)
2. Gore Valley Trail Realignment (R-2)
3. Water Quality (update) (R-3)
4. Streambank mitigation (update) (R-4)
Another significant consideration for the 2020 capital plan includes take home vehicles for
the police department (please see Attachment A for more details). A phased approach is
proposed, by holding over vehicles that are scheduled for replacement. Over a period of 4
years, 5 cars would added to the fleet inventory for use by the police department. Currently, the
take home vehicle program includes 9 vehicles for use by commanders and a select number of
Town of Vail Page 4
August 6, 2019 - Page 34 of 102
detectives. The expansion of this program by another 5 vehicles would impact both the Capital
Projects Fund (vehicle expansion of $106.0K in 2021 and $163.4K in 2022) and General Fund
(annual operating of $55K and replacement charges of $49.6K per year). If the full program is
deployed, the Heavy Equipment Fund may also require an additional mechanic. This request is
not currently included in the five year capital plan. Staff is requesting feedback from Council.
Unfunded Projects
Staff has also provided the most recent list of “Unfunded” capital projects for Council’s consideration. Included in this list are projects dependent on the outcome of the Civic Center Master Plan or are being considered as part of the plan: a municipal building
remodel, renovations to Dobson Arena, and Lionshead parking structure improvements. Electronic Directories in the villages have been suggested by staff to improve the guest experience but this project needs more research, cost estimation and presentation to Council. Road reconstruction throughout the town is proposed for a phased approach beginning 2025. Cost estimates are not available at this time, but will be significant for a number of
years. Public Works Master plan future stages, including housing, are referenced here.
Does Council wish to make any changes to the Unfunded capital list? Would Council like to reprioritize any of the unfunded projects by moving to the five-year plan? Are there any other changes or additions to the Capital, Housing or RETT funds? ACTION REQUESTED Staff requests feedback from Council in preparation of the Town Manager’s budget, which will
come before Council for a first look on September 3rd, with ordinance readings on October 1st and 15th.

Re: Take Home Patrol Car Pilot Program
Executive Summary
Police agencies across the country provide a take-home vehicle (THV) program to their staff. The
industry standard of assigning vehicles to officers is used as both a recruitment and retention tool for agencies looking to hire new officers; to convey a high sense of safety and security through heightened visibility; and for many other compelling benefits and practicalities. Currently, the Vail Police Department is the only law enforcement agency in Eagle County without a THV program. This proposal would add 5 additional patrol cars to the fleet for two years, to test the costs and value to the Town.
Discussion
The significance of a Vail PD study of THV programs nationwide is that time efficiencies and cost savings can be demonstrated. Results from this study that began in October 2017 have shown:
1.A reduction in lost time/wages in daily check-in/out protocols.2.An elimination of the need for an officer to respond to the police department to pickup a policevehicle, then proceed to a call.3.A rapid mobilization to incidents that escalate quickly and for which officers are subject to amandatory manpower page.4.Increased response time from employees in specialized duties and on-call assignments.5.A reduction in time cost savings and liability for employees who need to transfer specialized,law enforcement-sensitive equipment from personally-owned vehicles to a police vehicle.(Currently, officers are allocated 10 minutes at the beginning and end of each shift to moveindividually-assigned equipment into a patrol car. By using a THV, the patrol car essentiallybecomes the officer’s primary workspace. Time in shift preparation and in wrapping up a shiftis eliminated thereby allowing an officer to be ready for work as soon as he/she enter town
limits or are traveling between home and work.)
Beyond the measured financial value of a take-home program, additional benefits include:
1.It serves as a recruiting and retention tool.2.Officers are obligated to respond to incidents on I-70 while en-route to work.3.Officers can ensure roads between the department and their home flow unrestrained, by clearingincidents that typically result in congested traffic.4.Accountability of the town’s fleet strategy is increased by extending the lifespan in vehicles.
Attachment A Attachment A
August 6, 2019 - Page 36 of 102
5.Heightened police visibility helps deter and prevent crime.6. Increased available parking space in PD facilities.7.An adequate number of patrol cars for Vail PD staff working special events are provided.
Approval Sought
The purpose of this memo is to seek budgetary approval to conduct a pilot THV program. During the implementation and management of the pilot program, the Vail PD will maintain logs and other records to evaluate short and long-term costs, its influence on the community’s sense of safety, the number of calls handled by officers outside of Vail, the extent to which operational needs are met, its impact in curbing crime, and other hard data for a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis.
Broad Organizational Benefit
The VPD is disadvantaged by being the only agency without a THV program in Eagle County. It does not bode well from a recruitment and retention perspective. Individuals looking to join a police department, particularly experienced and lateral officers, are drawn to THV programs. An article published in the September 2018 issue of Police Chief Magazine suggests, “Agency administrators find alternative ways
to make employment in their organization more desirable.” The author recommends “that organizations
view salary and compensation as a means to remain competitive, but recognize that adjusting salaries is
not always practical. A suggestion is to provide officers a take home vehicle program as a means to
offset salary concerns, as an enhanced benefit.”
A pilot program would allow VPD an opportunity to determine the operational and financial viability of such a program. Research data which has been obtained from police department using take-home vehicles will either be substantiated or disproven.
The City of Tacoma Police Department1 in October 2004 found that police department pool vehicles averaged $8,400 in damage, which was reduced to $1,375, a difference of 83%. Vehicles in a THV program are simply better taken care of than fleet vehicles. Pride in ownership creates a sense of responsibility and therefore cars are better maintained and replaced less often.
Vail Police Department Take Home Car Pilot Program ─ Proposed First Steps
Vail PD is replacing five patrol cars in 2019 and three patrol cars in 2020,which are already in the replacement schedule. TOV Fleet Manager Jeff Darnell has agreed to allow the five cars scheduled for replacement in 2019 to remain in service for one additional year, so that this pilot program can be conducted using a handful of selected Patrol staff members. Although proposed costs of a VPD pilot
program are high in years 2021 – 2022 based on estimates to upfit and additional maintenance plus
mileage costs, it appears the benefits outweigh the costs. Please see page 3 for four-year cost estimates.
Vail PD’s strong levels of accountability will go hand-in-hand with Town of Vail and department policies governing the usage of patrol cars and full compliance of safety measures.
Priorities of Assigning Take Home Vehicles:

Estimate Cost Increases for Proposed Take Home Patrol Vehicle Pilot Program:
The below chart oultines costs as the program expands. Each car added to the fleet will increase annual operating costs by approximately $20,000 per year ($10K for fuel and maintenance plus another $10K for funding future capital replacement). Each new patrol vehicle has a purchase price of approximately $53,000.

Survey of other THV programs:
ECSO All sworn personnel have take homes They must live within 70 miles of the county line Officers do not pay for take home cars About 75% live in Eagle County Cars are replaced between 4 to 8 years based on mileage and performance
Town of Vail Police Department- Take Home Vehicle Proposal Page 3
August 6, 2019 - Page 38 of 102
Average annual costs are $250,000 but could be higher or lower based on the number of cars to be
replaced All maintenance is done by fleet They do have a policy in place
Summit County Sheriff All sworn have take home cars They must live in the County and be out of training
Officers do not pay for cars All officers live in the county with one exception (investigations sergeant) Cars are replaced every 5 years or 80k miles
Average annual costs are $175k Fleet takes care of all maintenance They do have a policy
Avon 11 of 23 sworn officers have take home cars Sergeants, command and detectives have cars
Rank and position (detective) determines eligibility Officers do not pay None of their cars are in Avon They can go as far as Gypsum Cars are replaced every 5 years Not sure on annual costs but the Tahoe fully equipped is $40-$45k Fleet does all maintenance They do have a policy
Garfield CO All sworn receive a take home car
Officers must live within the County. They are allowed to drive to county line and drop the car. The only exception is SWAT team members Officers do not pay for use of the car Cars are replaced between 100 and 130k miles. This usually averages 4 to 5 years The take home car program costs between 250 and 500k per year depending on how many cars get replaced each year Fleet services all the vehicles They do not have a policy
Breckenridge PD Only command have take home cars
Aspen PD Only command and detectives have take home cars
Dillon PD Only command have take home cars

Project: Parking Structure Camera monitoring guidance and security system
Location: Both TRC’s
Council Action Plan Goal: Experience
Budget:
Narrative: Installation of a parking management system similar to the Red Sandstone
Parking Structure. The new system will detect and provide guidance to available
parking spaces as well as inform parking personnel of parking violations. The
secondary benefit will be providing an overall monitored garage from a security
perspective for hit and runs, vandalism, and other crimes. This should also deter
some crime activity. The parking guidance will use dynamic space available signs
in areas of the garage. The Village Structure is scheduled for 2020 and the
Lionshead Structure is scheduled for 2021.

Council Action Plan Goal: Experience
Budget: Capital Cost: $198,000
Operational Cost: $4,000/yr.
Cost Impacts: Maintenance (Included in operational cost).
Utilities N/A
Replacement 10 years +
Narrative: Station alerting is a system that automates the transmission of alarm
notifications from the dispatch center to each fire station. There are several
benefits associated with this system:
1.Decreased alarm processing time (results in fire station crew being notified
of an incident more rapidly). Station alerting eliminates redundant steps and
allows the station crew to be notified of the incident while the dispatcher is
still talking to the caller.
2.Delivery of more accurate and more intelligible information to station crew.
This is achieved by the station alerting system immediately transferring the
information the dispatcher inputs to “build the call” to both an audio
message and a textual display at various locations throughout the fire
station. This provides the crew with instantaneous information about the
incident. In addition, the information is broadcast throughout the station in a
computer generated voice that is clearly audible and highly intelligible (think
of Siri versus trying to understand the order-taker at a drive-through fast
food restaurant).
3.Decreased reflex time (reflex time is the time that elapses from when the
crew is notified of an incident until they are in their proper equipment and
leaving the station). This is achieved due to the fact that the crew is able to
more rapidly understand the nature of the incident and prepare for the
response appropriately. In addition, the station alerting system has
countdown timers throughout the station which provide a visual reminder of
elapsed time since the initial notification was received.
4.Decreased stress on the responding crew. Station alerting uses “ramped”
tones as well as gradually increased lighting to provide the initial notification
that an alarm is being received. A number of studies have documented the
deleterious effects on personnel when the notification tones activate
C-5

instantaneously and the lights suddenly go to full illumination when an alarm.
This effect is particularly impactful during the nighttime hours.
It is anticipated that the costs associated with installing the server as well as the
annual maintenance fee would be share with Eagle River Fire Protection District.
The total cost noted above is based upon a shared cost model.

Narrative: In 2016 the Town Council adopted the Vail Housing 2027 Plan and Resolution No.
34, Series 2016 appointing the VLHA as the Town’s agent to negotiate and
purchase deed restriction in the Town. The 2027 plan goal is to “acquire 1,000
additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027.”
Consequently the Vail InDEED program was created to provide a cash incentive
in exchange for a deed restriction on a Vail residential property.
To date, 119 deed restrictions have been added to the town’s inventory of
housing at an average cost of $44,553 per bedroom or $82 per square foot.
Deed restrictions have also been secured with public/private partnerships such
as Solar Vail and 6 West Apartments.

REC PATHS AND TRAILS – PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2020
Project: Gore Valley Trail Realignment
Location: Lionshead Gondola
Council Action Plan Goal: Experience
Budget:
Narrative: The Gore Valley Trail passes through the Lionshead base area, near the Eagle
Bahn Gondola. From the east, the trail follows Gore Creek from the Vail Library
and passes through the putting golf course. From the west, the trail climbs
steeply from Lions Square Lodge, under the skier bridge and up into the base
area. During the summer, the base area is a very busy location with people
access the gondola. It has become significantly busier with the introduction of
Epic Discovery at Eagle’s Nest. Diverting the main flow of pedestrian and bike
traffic to the south of the gondola would reduce congestion, eliminate the steep
grade under the skier bridge and allow a more continuous experience along the
Gore Valley Trail.
Considerations include: how to protect/enhance the riparian buffer while adding
a paved trail, working with Vail Resorts to construct a trail below the gondola,
requires access to Vail Resort’s property.
The project conceptually has the support of Vail Resorts as a way to reduce
congestion in the area. They have tentatively offered to assist with funding,
based on financial approval and availability, towards a feasibility analysis.

Project: Water Quality Improvements
Location: Varies, See Narrative
Council Action Plan Goal: Sustainability
Budget:
Narrative: The purpose of this project is to continue the implementation of the Gore Creek
Action Plan. To date almost 70% of the Town capital projects within the plan
have been completed. Staff will continue to evaluate and implement the
remaining projects. This will include Water Quality improvements along
Westhaven Drive, Various Bridge locations, and the West Vail South
Roundabout.
The project fund has been accumulating significant savings over the past few
years that have been rolled each year. Without a request to identify a large
scale project (i.e. relocate Gore Creek within golf course), the Town can take the
current savings of about $3M*, and not roll it into 2020.

Narrative: This project is a component of the Gore Creek Water Quality Strategic Action
Plan. In 2017, the town performed riparian buffer restoration along nearly 5,000
linear feet of Gore Creek stream bank. During 2018, few planting projects were
performed due to drought conditions. In 2019, nearly 6,000 plants have
been/will be installed along approximately 2 ½ miles of Gore Creek streambank.
In addition, several stabilization projects, and design work for 2020 projects will
be completed before the end of the year.
For 2020, staff anticipates augmenting previous projects to ensure continued
success with enhanced vegetated buffers, and will start new projects in several
new locations. The scope of 2020 work is anticipated to be reduced when
compared to 2019 projects. Work areas will include the East Vail interchange
(augment), Vail Golf Course (new and augment), Vail Village (augment Gore and
Mill Creeks), Donovan Park (new) and others.

To: Vail Town Council
From: Timber Ridge Operating Committee
Date: August 6, 2019
Subject: Initial Discussions Regarding a Potential Future Redevelopment of the Timber Ridge
Village Apartments – 1280 North Frontage Road
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide background information on the existing
conditions of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments and outline possible next steps in the
process of discussing the potential future redevelopment of the property. This memorandum is
informational for initial discussions only and no formal action is requested at this time.
2. BACKGROUND
A. Ownership History
The Town of Vail is the owner of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. The Town acquired the
property in 2003 for $20M with the expressed purpose of protecting and preserving the resident
occupied deed restriction recorded and in place at the time. Pursuant to the terms of the
existing deed restriction, the obligation for resident occupancy was to expire after twenty years.
The Town obtained fee simple title to approximately 10.25 acres of land and the accompanying
198 two-bedroom, one bath apartment homes at the time of acquisition. However, the Town
has since entered into a ground lease/purchase option agreement for the easternmost 5.25
acres of land and the current site of the Lion’s Ridge Apartment Homes. Pursuant to the terms
of the agreement, the ground leaseholder, or its assigned, has the option to either purchase the
land for $5M at any time prior to December 31, 2024, or begin making escalating annual land
lease payments (12.5%/five year period) to the Town of Vail on January 1, 2025, through the
year 2064. The initial ground lease payment is $125,000 for the first five year period.
Regardless, the Town has no ownership interest or operating obligations, outside the land, in
the Lion’s Ridge Apartment Homes.
Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA) retains a 0.01% ownership interest in the development
entity of the Lion’s Ridge Apartment Homes which exempts the property from real property
taxes. The VLHA receives an annual payment of $35,000 for its ownership interest from the
ground leaseholder.
August 6, 2019 - Page 65 of 102
Town of Vail Page 2
The Town of Vail continues to own and operate the 96 for-rent apartment homes on the
westernmost 5 acres of the property (aka Timber Ridge Village Apartments). The operational
responsibilities are granted to the Timber Ridge Operating Committee.
B. Financial Conditions
Timber Ridge Village Apartments financial facts:
Timber Ridge Village Apartments currently operate at a net surplus of $143,000 on
average for the past five years. 2018 actuals ended with a $393,578 surplus. The
current fund balance is $1.4M.
Promissory notes owed to the Town for certain operating deficiencies and mold
remediation projects total $1.9M. Interest-only payments have been made, but no
principal debt has been retired. Interest rate is at 1.5% and matures December, 2032.
Current balance of this note totals $1.9M
Promissory note owed to the Town for payoff of Timber Ridge Village Apartments bonds
totals $8M. The Town also contributed another $8M from the General Fund for payoff of
the bonds. Interest rate is at 1.5% and matures December, 2033. Principal and interest
payments have been made, with future payments owed on the note totaling $6.9M.
Value of the asset on the town’s financial statements as of 12/31/18 is $10M. This is at
cost basis, not reflecting market value.
While Timber Ridge Village Apartments are currently financially stable and have reserves to
cover current capital expenditures, the property will need significant capital investment
beginning in year 2024/2025.
C. Leasing Situation
The Timber Ridge Village Apartments have historically operated at a nearly 100% annual
occupancy rate. Corum Property Management is contracted through the Town of Vail to
oversee the daily operations, management and leasing of the property. Of the 96 apartment
homes, 54 homes are presently master leased to Vail Resorts and the remaining 42 homes are
leased to individuals, families and businesses.
Basic leasing rates and terms are as follows:
54 master leased homes - $1,418/unit/month (increase to $1,489 effective 5/1/20)
42 individually leased homes - $1,350 to $1,418/unit/month
Leases require 30 hour per week employment within Eagle County
Short term rental is prohibited
All leases contain a right to terminate clause for redevelopment
Any redevelopment effort shall require a thoughtful plan for resident relocation and
displacement during the period of redevelopment construction as the community will lose
access to 96, two bedroom for-rent apartments for up to two years (+/- 240 residents)

Town of Vail Page 3
D. Existing Conditions of the Buildings
The Timber Ridge Village Apartments were originally constructed in 1981. At the time, the sixteen
(16) building development contained 198 apartment units and an on-site management office.
Since the original development the apartment homes have provided affordable for-rent housing for
hundreds of Vail residents. The site consists of asphalt parking and driving areas, concrete
flatwork, retaining walls and common fencing. The buildings envelopes consist of wood
frame construction, wood siding, stairwells, and asphalt shingle roofing.
In August of 2007, the Town of Vail retained the consulting services of Borne Engineering of
Denver, Colorado. Borne Engineering was retained to complete a physical audit and evaluation
of the existing conditions of the property. The purpose of the evaluation was to evaluate the
components to determine if there are deficiencies or potential deficiencies that will affect the
continued operation of the facility and make recommendations for capital improvements to
extend the life of the improvements. The Borne Engineering Report was subsequently
produced.
As a result of the Borne Report, the Timber Ridge Affordable Housing Corporation
authorized the expenditure of $240,000 in 2007 to replace decking, deck rails and fencing
throughout the property. Additionally, the board had approved the expenditure of $144,000 in
2008 to repair the driveway, paint the exterior of the buildings, and replace 33% of the
windows. Significant capital expenditures were budgeted over the next number of years to
address the issues identified in the Borne Report. Over a seven year period of time they
include:
);> Site Grading and Drainage Repair
);> Foundation Repair
);> Asphalt Repair
);> Roof Repair and Replacement
);> Window Replacement
);> Exterior Painting
Today, capital improvements continue to take place on the property. The interior remodel of
homes is nearly complete and additional rockfall mitigation is scheduled to begin this fall. The
new life expectancy of the homes has been extended an additional 4-5 years as a result of the
Town’s ongoing capital improvements. The roofs and exterior siding of each of the buildings are
in need of replacement in the next 2-3.
E. Redevelopment Potential
The Timber Ridge Village Apartments maintain significant redevelopment potential. According
to the Official Zoning Map of the Town of Vail, the property is located within the Town’s Housing
(H) District. The Housing District was first created in 2001 for the sole purpose of increasing the
supply of deed-restricted homes in Vail. By design, the Housing District is intended to provide
adequate sites for deed-restricted homes for Vail residents.
The Housing District affords a wide range of latitude in the application of the required
development standards. It is most likely that any redevelopment effort would be a high density,
multiple familynature. In many ways, the development potential (GRFA, landscape area,
building height, density) of the property is limited by the ability to achieve the transportation

needs of the future residents. Given the ease of access to the West Vail Mall commercial area,
the adjacency to the commercial job core areas of Lionshead and Vail Village, and the
convenience afforded by the North Frontage Road bus routes and overall public transit services,
the Timber Ridge Village Apartments property is a prime location for a transit-oriented type of
redevelopment. The redevelopment potential of the property is further benefitted by the absence
of immediately adjacent residential properties and other potentially affected persons and
owners.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
The Vail Town Council has stated its preference to initiate a planning process for the pending
redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. To that point, on July 2nd, during a
Town Council Budget Retreat Worksession, instruction was given to bring forward
recommendations for a planning process for the Council’s consideration and further instruction,
if any.
To that end, the Timber Ridge Operating Committee recommends the following actions as the
initial steps in a Timber Ridge Village Apartments redevelopment planning process:
A. Articulate a Vision
B. Establish Project Goals
C. Define Guiding Principles
D. Identify Development Objectives & Expectations
E. Commit to a Schedule (TBD)
F. Prepare Timber Ridge Village Neighborhood Sub-Area Redevelopment Master Plan*
Vail Health Campus
Chamonix Master Plan
The recommended actions highlighted above place an emphasis on taking a proactive approach
by defining goals and desired outcomes of a redevelopment. This recommended approach is in
contrast to the process pursued on the easternmost portion of the site whereby, due to
prevailing conditions and circumstances at the time, a more reactive response resulted.
The recommended planning process above places the Town in the best position to realize its
vision and achieve its project goals. The process, as proposed, first allows the community to
determine what is needed on the site before simply deciding what to do, how to do it, or whom
to do it with. For obvious reasons, the resulting clarity this process provides benefits not only the
Town, but also any future redevelopment partnership. This proactive process yielded successful
outcomes when used to plan for the Vail Health Campus redevelopment and the recently
completed Chamonix Vail Neighborhood development.
4. NEXT STEPS
The Timber Ridge Operating Committee has identified a series of next steps for the planning
process. The suggested next steps include:
Implement a 1 ½ to 2-year planning window
Complete high-level housing needs assessment & market study
Form the Timber Ridge Redevelopment Advisory Committee
Schedule follow-up discussions with Vail Town Council (vision, goals, guiding principles)
August 6, 2019 - Page 68 of 102
Town of Vail Page 5
Vail Local Housing Authority participation
Initiate sub-area planning process (partially funded in 2020 draft budget)
Explore funding opportunities
Pursue public/private partnership opportunities and seek regional collaboration
Explore RFQ/RFP options
Pre-development Agreement ($50K for legal, planning, pre-development services, etc.)
5. ACTION REQUESTED
No formal action is requested at this time.
If instructed to do so, the Timber Ridge Operating Committee will return to a future Vail Town
Council meeting with a proposal for approval of a formal action to initiate and launch a Timber
Ridge Village Apartments redevelopment planning process based upon the recommendations
highlighted within this memorandum.
Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendations as currently proposed and
instruct the Timber Ridge Operating Committee to return to a future meeting for formal
action on a Timber Ridge Village Apartments redevelopment planning process?

Karen Perez, Brian Stockmar
Absent: Rollie Kjesbo
2.Public Hearing
2.1.A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to
Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations
amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town Code, to update
definitions, including the removal of redundant definitions, the consolidation
of definitions defined multiple times, relocation of 20% hardscaping standard
to Title 14 and amendment to the landscaping regulation to allow up to 20%
permeable hardscaped space, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(PEC19-0017)
30 min.
Applicant:Town of Vail
Planner:Ashley Clark
Planner Clark introduced the application. Staff has presented these code
changes to the Design Review Board, and previously at one work session
with PEC. She mentioned that public comment on the proposed code
changes had been received. The proposal is to amend the Vail Town Code
relating to existing definitions, conflicting or duplicated definitions in the
code. There is also some change proposed to policy, which staff will
discuss.
Clark indicated that changes are proposed to Title 12, definition of
Administrator, and definition of Comprehensive Plan.
Perez asked about changes to the Comprehensive Plan definitions.
Stockmar asked if the intent on landscape permeability was based on
where the water goes, and how to redirect the water flow so that it does not
go into the creek. Intent is to ensure that contaminated water does not go
directly to the creek.
Clark – Impervious surfaces are directly mentioned on the Gore Creek
Action Plan. That is one of the reasons staff looked at changing the
definitions.
Peter Wadden – The more impervious a surface, the more likely and
quicker that water and pollutants will be carried into Gore Creek.
Permeable surfaces will allow water to flow through the ground which will
August 6, 2019 - Page 78 of 102
filter water before going into the creeks.
Stockmar – I understand the concept of permeability, but isn’t there a
bigger issue we should be addressing with our codes on construction? We
should redesign some of our codes to reduce as much as possible the
opportunity for pollutants to get into the creek. Let’s focus on the bigger
picture.
Clark – These are small steps we can take while staff is making updates to
the definitions. We would like to have a greater conversation on some of
these issues moving forward.
Hopkins – Town is 95% developed, so there’s only a chance to address
5% of the properties. Is there an opportunity for improvements to the
existing developed properties? W hat else can be done for these projects?
Can filters be placed at the intakes to Gore Creek?
Wadden – Staff has a list of 44 projects that could be implemented. We
are focusing on the projects that will have the most impact. We have a
project planned at the Public Works yard. We are taking incremental steps
to see what works.
Hopkins – We need to discuss the alternatives to how we have been
operating to date.
Gillette – Let’s back up to where we started. Why did staff remove
language on retaining walls relating to access on steep slopes?
Clark – Staff discussed this with the DRB. Development on a steep lot is
already very difficult, so changing the language recommended by the DRB
will allow retaining walls on steeper slopes, regardless of the access or
driveway.
Gillette – Once the code is revised, with the word ”access” removed, it will
make more sense. Can we discuss the potential concern of making
properties nonconforming?
Clark – Code has existing language that addresses nonconformity.
Nonconformities cannot be made worse.
Gillette – Are there other issues, not relating to the new nonconformity that
could be impacted if the property becomes nonconforming?
Clark – Staff reviewed several landscaping plans in town to determine how
many properties might be impacted. She discussed ways that underground
rooftops that are landscaped might qualify as landscaping, but depending
on the design, some underground parking might not meet the intent of this
code change.
Lockman – If properties are nonconforming, is it only relating to the
landscaping? What is the true impact of the nonconformity? Does it affect
other issues of the site?
Clark – This issue will only come up on redevelopment. There are also
other materials that could be permeable with newer technology and new
materials. We have a very active and informed board, and this was
reviewed by the DRB and PEC. If this does not work, we can come back
August 6, 2019 - Page 79 of 102
to the PEC to fix the definitions.
Stockmar – There is still a line that differentiates new construction from
remodels and additions.
Perez – We did not address situations where a structure is destroyed, as
opposed to voluntary redevelopment.
Clark – Existing code already addresses damage by acts of God and by
other catastrophe.
Stockmar – At what point does a remodel trigger compliance with these
codes?
Clark – If a project has nonconforming landscaping, and an owner
replaces the landscaping, then the new landscaping needs to meet the
code. Existing code already has a trigger of 500 sq. ft. for additions to
require compliance with design standards.
Gillette – Additions might still require a nonconforming situation to come
into compliance with the new regulations.
Clark – Presented an example at the Marriott landscaping plan, comparing
pervious and impervious surfaces in the landscaping plan. Staff reviewed
14 landscaping plans to understand how the proposed code changes might
impact development and redevelopment. Most of the projects that staff
reviewed had excess landscaping, and have wiggle room to still meet the
code. There are also other remedies in the code, such as a variance.
Stockmar – To what extent do we have a current problem with the existing
codes? What would be the real world impact on people in the town who
might be impacted by these changes?
Clark – We don’t know of any applications that are being held back due to
the pending landscaping changes, but there are a few proposals on hold
and watching closely as it relates to retaining walls.
Perez- I would like to use the language that we discussed in the work
session. We also have defined terms that use lower case vs upper case
which need to be cleared up. We need to be consistent.
Gillette – If you have a rooftop with a rooftop deck, it may still be
impervious beneath the garden. It really matters most how the water is
treated before it goes into the creek.
Wadden – Depending on how the rooftops are designed, it could impact
the amount of storm water that flows into the creek. A lot of different factors
determine how much water flows off a site.
Gillette – I would like to see staff meet with Dominic Mauriello to
understand his concerns. I think we should table this discussion.
Lockman – Would feel better to understand impacts to commercial
development and redevelopment.
Public Comment – None
August 6, 2019 - Page 80 of 102
Final Commission Comments
Lockman – Bravo for updating the Town Code to align with our strategic
plans. We need to see this across all forms of sustainability. Nice work.
Brian Gillette moved to table to August 12, 2019. Pam Hopkins seconded the
motion and it passed (6-0).

2.2.A request for the review of a Conditional Use Permit, pursuant to Section
12-16, Conditional Use Permits, Vail Town Code, to allow for the
construction of dwelling units within the Housing (H) zone district, located at
3700 North Frontage Road East/Lot 1, East Vail Workforce Housing
Subdivision (“Booth Heights Neighborhood”), and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC19-0019)
10 min.
Applicant:Triumph Development
Planner:Chris Neubecker
Chris Neubecker presented additional materials that were requested by the
PEC at the last meeting, including renderings of the proposed buildings,
and sections through the buildings and site.
Lockman inquired about the meeting with the wildlife biologists.
Matt Gennett discussed the wildlife meeting. Staff will present a summary
of their recommendations at the next PEC meeting on August 12.
Stockmar asked if there had been any changes to the submitted rockfall
report or traffic report.
Neubecker indicated that no changes have yet been made. Staff and the
applicant would like to get all feedback and comments from the PEC, then
plan revisions will be made and presented at a later meeting.
Hopkins asked about a soils report.
Michael O’Connor, Applicant, discussed nine soil test pits that have
already been explored in regard to soils. Additional detailed soils reports
will be provided prior to the building permit.
O’Connor provided a presentation discussing the criteria in the Housing
District and how the project meets the criteria. He presented slides
showing the scale and architecture of east Vail to demonstrate
compatibility. Slides were provided to show building heights, landscape
buffers, and building perspectives.
Hopkins asked about the berm in relation to the renderings.
O’Connor discussed the berm design and location in relating to the
renderings.
Lockman asked about balconies.
O’Connor clarified that there are no balconies facing north, but rather at-
grade patio areas.
O’Connor provided a comparison of the proposal to the standards of the
August 6, 2019 - Page 81 of 102
LDMF and MDMF zone districts, including site coverage, landscape area,
density and GRFA. He provided a comparison of the proposal to other
housing developments that have occurred in the housing district.
Gillette asked about bus stop design and the PEC’s previous comments
concerning this.
O’Connor discussed challenges with different locations for the bus stop.
Moving the bus stop to the east of the driveway will require retaining walls.
Lockman inquired about the wildlife mitigation plan.
O’Connor provided information on the biologists meeting and next steps in
relation to this item.
O’Connor discussed changes to the proposed parking plan for the
multifamily component. Additional parking can and will be provided. A
comparison with other housing developments in the Housing zone district
was provided, including the parking rate on a per-unit basis. Actual parking
counts and parking usage rates at similar developments were provided by
the applicant.
Stockmar-There is a significant difference between this project and other
housing developments that are closer to grocery stores. Stockmar
reiterated his concern about the lack of pedestrian access under the
highway.
O’Connor reviewed the request for information from previous meetings and
the additional information that has been provided already, and the
additional information that will be provided at the next meeting.
Stockmar discussed the need for restrictive covenants and enforcement of
regulations.
Perez-Asked about a traffic study when Vail Mountain School is in
session.
O’Connor felt the study occurred at a busy time of the winter and that the
existing road has significant extra capacity to handle additional traffic.
Perez requested additional information from staff concerning traffic in the
area.
Perez-Asked about the GRFA numbers related to the conditional use
permit.
Neubecker and O’Connor relayed that it is being worked on, but that plan
revisions have not yet been made.
Public Comment
Dave Gorsuch-How did this project get this far? It should have been
rejected before it got to this point. The PEC’s job is to protect this valley. I-
70 should have game fences.
Susan Bristol-In 1993 there was a conference about Vail and the
environment. She also discussed a conference in 2009 on the
August 6, 2019 - Page 82 of 102
environment. She spoke about the need to not kill the golden goose. Spoke
on the continued need for exceptional standards related to the environment.
Spoke to the landslide threat and the need for a comprehensive geology
study. Need for more transparency with regard to the various studies.
Remaining concerns include dogs, short term rentals, traffic studies and
the Vail Pass closure, code enforcement, bus service, wildlife preservation,
building massing, berm design.
Barbara Keller- Housing Criteria A. Neighborhood compatibility concerns.
Architecture and massing should be compatible with the site and adjacent
properties. Does not feel the slides shown for compatibility are
comparable, not congruent with single family and duplex homes in Booth
Creek neighborhood. Significant part of the parking is visible. Architectural
design is not compatible with the area. Architecture is substandard. Need
enforcement measures. The PEC needs to preserve the sheep.
Blondie Vucich-The recommendation of Rick Thompson was to have no
dogs. Plan does not do this. Triumph has ignored the recommendation due
to the finances. She read from the developer’s plans regarding dogs. This
project is unacceptable.
Tony Ryerson- The town has come along way in regard to environmental
measures but is missing the priority of the animals and their importance to
the community. Hope that this gets turned down.
Jonathan Staufer-Presented a petition with 1,000 signatures for the Town
to permanently protect this area. Discussed his concern with the project
having no reference to the past. Others have stated that the existing
problems with sheep and wildlife relates to existing homes. We need
housing, and can help by getting rid of short term rentals, and building
housing on land with less environmental impact. If we ruin Vail we will solve
the housing problem since no one will want to come here.
Ellen Colrick- Older complexes in town are rented or owned by employees.
Vail has owned this parcel since the 1961, yet has not paid taxes for 50
years. They only paid taxes starting in 2017. Vail Resorts should not get a
variance for this many housing units.
Peter Casabonne -Concern with the bighorn sheep. Saw a ewe and lamb
there this morning. None of the experts will say that the plan will save the
sheep. W hat are the odds of the sheep’s survival? The threat to the sheep
cannot be mitigated. Is the PEC willing to take the risk? This is the last
stand for the sheep. Housing is important, but not here. Alternative sites do
exist. The Town should negotiate to purchase and preserve the site.
Kristy Hintz - Spoke to the enormity of this decision. PEC does not have
the collective knowledge to make this decision. PEC is not listening to the
experts concerning the wildlife. Mentioned the importance of the sheep.
Throwing environmental concerns out the window. The traffic report was
done at the wrong time, on a Saturday when VMS was closed. The plan
does not even mention Vail Mountain School, or a pedestrian death at this
intersection. Concern with parking, pedestrian safety, environmental
impacts. Need new parking study. The risks to the environment are just too
great.
Lu Maslak- The Town has always needed more parking and housing. Don’t
need housing here due to the risks to sheep. Recognizes the difficulty of
August 6, 2019 - Page 83 of 102
the decision. Remember Vail’s environmental stewardship.
Joe Staufer-Spoke to his letter in the newspaper regarding upzoning. The
project is totally unsuitable for the location. Spoke to housing challenges.
The Town of Vail allowing home rentals results in the loss of employee
housing. Need for a study that shows how impactful this has been. This is
the wrong project. Gateway impacts will devalue Vail as desirable. Have the
courage to say no to this project.
Ann Esson - Member of two HOA’s, and discussed difficulty enforcing
HOA rules. Spoke to the environmental impact report requirement of the
code. Spoke to the studies provided. Spoke to the listing of Gore Creek.
Easier to protect than to try to fix. Referenced the staff report and the
conflicting goals. Cannot mitigate your way out of this. Other locations exist
for housing. Kudos to environmental department for bringing in wildlife
experts.
Charlyn Canada- Spoke to the importance of the sheep and the
importance of speaking up for them. We have enjoyed seeing the sheep
here for the past 40 years.
Liz Schramm - Spoke to the noise pollution resulting from construction.
Need to fence the entire project.
Elaine Kelton- Spoke to history of Vail and the magic of Vail. Need to
preserve and protect because it is what makes Vail special. Gateway
concerns for those visiting Vail. Spoke to the importance of writing and
speaking about concerns.
Pam Stenmark-Referenced her letter submitted. Concerned that some
members of the PEC have already made their mind up. Staff needs to
thoroughly review all applications and provide expertise. Expressed
concerns with the geological issues, including geologic activity to west of
Booth Creek neighborhood as recent as 1984. Provided photographs of
the existing rockfall berm, a major scar. Where are the Town Council
members on this? W hy are they not here today? They need to be here to
understand the passion. Don’t approve this project.
Betsy Kiehl- Spoke to dog issues, and inability to enforce any rules on
dogs. Spoke to the VRBO issues taking away employee housing. Not
against housing, just housing here. Follow the mission statement. Preserve
the sheep. Not the place to develop.
Jeff Kissane- Very difficult decision for the PEC. Competing interests with
housing and environment. Boils down to the sheep. Taking away their only
environment in Vail. Need to find different sites for housing. The sheep will
go away.
Tom Vucich- Discussed letter that did not make it into packet. Spoke to the
dog issues. Spoke to working for Vail Resorts 20 years ago and the
Bachelor Gulch neighborhood that prohibits dogs and how it did not impact
the finances. Need for a maintenance plan for the berm. Concern with
proposed construction dates. Does not match biologists recommendation.
Spoke to geological issues. Spoke to the need for details at the next
meeting concerning the wildlife plan.
Bill Andree- Looks forward to wildlife review report. Spoke to HOAs and
August 6, 2019 - Page 84 of 102
covenants and the challenge of enforcement. The Town of Vail needs to be
the enforcement, not neighbor vs. neighbor. Spoke to the failure rate of
mitigation plans. Plans need to be flexible and have enforcement. The
Division of Wildlife is not an enforcement agency. Closures just don’t work.
Its human nature to recreate out your back door. Mitigation plan is lacking.
Concern with cumulative impacts of development. Concern with Public
Works housing proposals. Housing has twice the magnitude of impact of
anything else, including oil and gas. Mitigation has never been 100% when
it comes to wildlife.
Gillette asked Andree about the finances of mitigation.
Andree responded that is costs about $120 per acre to fertilize. Any
fertilizing should be as spread out as possible. Burning is much cheaper,
but fertilizing and burns can lead to weeds.
Gillette commented about mitigation measures.
Andree spoke about the role of nitrogen and wildfire burns. Way into 6
figures for a proper mitigation plan. Total cost could be more than
$100,000. Spoke to closures of trails near the area and bighorn sheep
hunting. Hunting and the proposed closures are not at the same time.
Grace Poganski-Spoke to rockfall and how the berm will only reduce the
threat, not eliminate it. Spoke to the geological report. Spoke to the
difference between what could be vs. what will be. The loss of the sheep
will be a tragedy.
Cindy Ryerson- The location for this development is not good. Expressed
concerns with rockfall. Feels that the decision has already been made.
Spoke to the importance of the sheep.
Peter Feistmann- Spoke to the importance of employees living in Vail.
Supports employee housing. Would the Town have rezoned this if it had
been zoned Open Space as the community thought? Spoke to the mission
statement. Spoke to the effect of approving this project on the
environmental ethos of Vail. Spoke to inadequacy of the berm and the risks
associated.
Kate Cocchiarella- Invested in the community. It’s a wicked problem.
Lose/lose situation. Need to slow down the review. Study should be spread
out over 1 to 2 years. We thought this property was open space for the
past 20 years. There are other solutions to housing problems.
Public Comment was closed.
Commissioner comments
Gillette-Thought we would be getting more information from the developer
today. Looking forward to seeing the changes to the proposal. Would like a
member of the US Forest Service at the next meeting to answer questions.
Still concerned with the bus stop location, bus stop should be on the east
side. Should maybe fence the whole project, or wood fence to screen the
project from the west. Questions the site layout. Underpass needs to be
fixed for pedestrians. Parking is better but should meet the code. Should
be no dogs. No winter construction on western part of the site November
15 to April 15. No blasting November 15 – July 15. Would like to see
August 6, 2019 - Page 85 of 102
money better spent on improving sheep habitat. Habitat restoration should
be done prior to start of construction. Asked O’Connor how much money
proposed for mitigation?
O’Connor- Rough estimates about $50,000 to $100,000.
Gillette-The sheep need to be preserved through the habitat and mitigation
measures. Need to look at the closures on open space and trails.
Kurz-Agrees with Gillette but does not want people crossing the street for
the bus. Parking is better but may need more. Biggest decision being
made by the Town of Vail in a long time. Need to take time with the
decision. Looking forward to seeing the results of the wildlife meeting.
Perez- Would like to see the mitigation plan and the results of the wildlife
biologists meeting. Need more traffic information. Spoke to the process
with zoning coming first, then a development plan. This is the first of many
difficult decisions. Need to talk about what’s the developer’s responsibility,
and the Town’s responsibilities, and the Forest Service’s responsibilities.
We need to know who has the power and responsibility to close trails and
open space. Supports bus stop on the north side of frontage road.
Hopkins-Agrees with taking time on this. Wildlife meeting was critical.
Concerning with the effects of construction on the geological situation.
Lockman- Appreciates the public comment and the many letters. Will take
as long as necessary to review this proposal. Dogs do not fit on this site.
Short term rentals do not fit. Bus stop needs to be on the north side.
Buffering needed. Mitigation plan is needed with a clear outside review.
The pedestrian safety is important. Support bus on the north side.
Gillette – Concur with Lockman on short term rentals.
Stockmar- Been on the board for 3.5 years. PEC must act with community
interests in mind. Next meeting will be in three weeks. Concerned about the
geologic issues. This is different than Chamonix. Not sure how people can
be kept out of sensitive areas. Traffic study is not remotely adequate.
Parking is improved but still inadequate. Underpass is a deadly zone.
Crosswalks with flashers are needed in East Vail. Speeds are problem in
East Vail and need to be lowered. Tying parking needs at this site vs. core
sites does not work. The underpass is dangerous. Need more parking. If
we are wrong about the sheep mitigation it will be an extinction event.
Gillette asked about the effectiveness of the trail closures. Staff will look
into it.
