NATIONAL ROUNDABOUTS WEEK
SEPTEMBER 16-20, 2019
WHEREAS, Vail is known around the world for its forward-thinking initiatives; and
while there are many examples of Vail’s innovation, we take great pride in being known
for pioneering the roundabout movement in the U.S., thanks to our town government’s
visionary leadership;
WHEREAS, in the 1990s, town engineers, led by our current Public Works
Director, Greg Hall, introduced the revolutionary concept of roundabouts to address
long delays at the 4-way stop at Main Vail, sometimes lasting 30 or more minutes.
While traffic lights were the most obvious congestion remedy, community members
dismissed the lights as too urban and out of character;
WHEREAS, while roundabouts were little known in the United States at the time,
the Vail Town Council took a leap of faith to approve construction despite much
skepticism from the community, including filmmaker Warren Miller;
WHEREAS, when the roundabouts at the Town Center interchange opened in
1995, they became the first roundabouts of their kind in the United States and one of
the few built at 8,000 feet elevation. More importantly, THEY WORKED, causing the
good-humored Warren Miller to “eat crow”;
WHEREAS, following the success of Vail’s first roundabout project, the
community enthusiastically endorsed roundabouts as the traffic solution for West Vail
with construction completed in 1997;
WHEREAS, since that time, roundabouts have become an accepted engineering
solution in the U.S.; today, there are more than 4,000 modern roundabouts in this
country, including Vail’s newest innovative installations of compact roundabouts at the
Sandstone underpass;
WHEREAS, modern roundabouts reduce severe crashes by approximately 80
percent compared to traditional two-way stop-controlled intersections, causing the
Federal Highway Administration to encourage transportation agencies to consider
roundabouts during new construction and reconstruction projects, as well as for existing
intersections that have been identified as needing safety or operational improvements;
WHEREAS, each year the Federal Highway Administrations celebrates National
Roundabouts Week during the third week in September, and recognizes Vail for its
pioneering achievements;
September 17, 2019 - Page 7 of 77
NOW THEREFORE, in honor of Vail’s legacy of innovation and risk-taking, the Vail
Town Council joins the Federal Highway Administration in declaring Monday, September 16 to
Friday, September 20, 2019, as National Roundabouts Week.
Dated this 17th day of September, 2019.

1.Call to Order
1.1.Attendance
Present: Brian Stockmar, Brian Gillette, Rollie Kjesbo, John Ryan
Lockman, Ludwig Kurz, Karen Perez
Absent: Pam Hopkins
2.Main Agenda
2.1.A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to
Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for an update to the Vail Land
Use Plan, specifically the Chamonix Master Plan and the Chamonix Land
Use Category and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC19-0040)
30 min.
Applicant:Town of Vail, represented by George Ruther
Planner:Jonathan Spence
Planner Spence introduced the application. He provided some background
on the project as a whole. There are six applications that will result in
meeting the Town’s Council’s objective, which is to sell this piece of land to
allow for future development. He described the location of the lot behind the
West Vail Fire Station, adjacent to the Chamonix Development.
Spence explained the order of the applications, which is important to allow
for each subsequent application. Three applications are presented today,
and other applications will follow. First application is the Chamonix Master
Plan. Some elements of the proposal require changes to the Master Plan
before moving forward.
Spence described that the second application is a variance to development
prohibited on slopes over 40%. A rezoning can’t be approved without the
variance. Third item is the rezoning. Part of the proposed lot is currently
zoned Housing (H), and another portion is zoned General Use (GU).
Stockmar asked about the future use of the small triangle piece, and if the
Fire Department would ever need this site.
Spence – Yes, Fire Station staff have determined they do not need this site.
Gillette asked if this is the site that the ambulance district was looking to use.
There was general discussion about the ambulance district, and there past
consideration for land needs in Vail.
Spence described the other applications pending, including the future
subdivision, and an amendment to the Development Plan. The Development
Plan will include development standards, but does not include detailed
design elements at this time. Also, a Conditional Use Permit will be proposed
September 17, 2019 - Page 18 of 77
in near future. These applications will prepare the site for future development
of the vacant site.
Perez – Are you asking us to review all six applications?
Spence – These first three applications, in order, can stand on their own.
Perez – I’m uncomfortable approving a plan that we have only this morning
seen the language.
Spence – Apologized for the upload error in the PEC packet.
Gillette – Has Town Council already approved this? Is this just a formality for
us to review?
Spence – No, its not just formality. PEC plays an important role in reviewing
these applications. The first application is an amendment to the Chamonix
Master Plan and Vail Land Use Plan. The Master Plan was premised on
100% deed restrict housing on this site. But the Vail Town Code allows a
portion of sites in the Housing zone district to be built as market rate,
unrestricted dwelling units. As proposed, an additional use would be allowed,
dwelling units, as allowed in the Housing zone district.
Spence described that master plans are not regulatory, but staff supports
amending the master plan before moving forward with other applications, so
that applications are consistent with the master plan. Staff is proposing to
amend the language to allow developments that are consistent with the
Housing zone district.
Lockman – Why was this not done this way originally? Why not originally
write it to be consistent with Housing district?
Spence – The master plan was largely a visioning document when first
written. There is some disconnect between regulatory and master plan
documents. He described the difference between this master plan, and
others, such as Vail Village Master Plan, or Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan.
Perez – Online version of packet is still not uploaded. Do you have
concerns that this was not available to the public, and was this properly
noticed?
Neubecker – The online version is now correct. I’m looking at it now.
Spence – Proper public notice was posted. The documents do not need to
be noticed or posted by any specific time.
Perez – I see it is now uploaded, but it was not there an hour ago.
Stockmar asked about state law for public notice.
Spence – Those notice requirements have been met.
Stockmar suggested that staff present all the applications at one time, since
they are all linked together.
Lockman – Why are other elements of the Chamonix Master Plan not being
September 17, 2019 - Page 19 of 77
addressed at this time? Are they not relevant to this project, or not impacted,
such as AMI requirements?
Gillette – If we do this, but don’t have to, you lose the ability to learn from
your mistakes. If we wipe it out, we would not know what’s been done in the
past.
Stockmar – Laws and plans are often updated, but they do not change the
historical documents, which will still be accessible. Laws and plans are
amended all the time, as long as we still have access to what was amended.
Spence – For example, the master plan specifically states that all
development shall be 100% deed restricted housing. Staff would have a hard
time supporting an application that didn’t include 100% deed restricted
housing, which is one reason we support this change before moving forward
with other applications.
Kjesbo – Was it always contemplated that this would be broken off for
development?
Spence – It was discussed, an idea that was thought of.
Kurz – Mr. Kjesbo is correct, it was more than a discussion on the
periphery when this was originally going through review.
Stockmar asked for public comment
Neal Shubert, 2345 Lower Traverse Way – Concerns about how our
property (Chamonix HOA land) is involved in making this happen. Are we
giving up and land to make this happen?
Spence explained that the Chamonix HOA president has provided written
approval of this application. He explained how the individual unit parcels
were subdivided in the past, via a townhome plat. This site is not part of the
HOA. Its part of the Chamonix development site, by Town Code applications
require HOA approval to submit the application. Formation and operation of
the HOA are civil matters.
Stockmar – Please remind me of how the townhomes and land around it are
owned.
Spence explained the ownership format of the townhomes, HOA land, and
the future development site. The townhome plat reserved this site for future
development, but this site is not subject to the HOA.
Gillette asked if the HOA president signing the approval to move forward is a
conflict of interest.
Spence – HOA president is a Town employee, but was functioning in his
role as the HOA president.
Neal Shubert – I think it’s a conflict of interest.
Spence explained that the HOA board voted, as required by the HOA by-
laws. This was authorized about a month ago.
Perez – Earlier you said that this was taken out of the HOA prior to the first
September 17, 2019 - Page 20 of 77
sale.
Spence – Yes, this site was removed from the Chamonix Community,
through the townhouse plat. However, its part of a development lot and the
Town Code requires HOA approval to moving forward.
Stockmar – We do not have purview over a private HOA?
Neal Shubert – I’m trying to make sure things are done right. We spent a lot
of money to buy here.
There was a general discussion of the role of the HOA, and its relationship
to its members, rather than Town of Vail involvement.
Perez – Does the public have any further concerns before we move
forward?
Neal Shubert – How and where will access be provided?
Spence – Explained the development proposed, including 3 market rate
dwelling units, and one EHU (minimum 1200 sq. ft.) Total 7,200 sq. ft. of
GRFA proposed, largely compatible with Primary Secondary zoning lots.
Access will be from Chamonix Lane. We do not know where construction
access will be taken.
Stockmar – The HOA would need to provide consent for any access
through their private land.
Spence – The variance is coming before the rezoning, since the land could
not be adequately developed without the variance, thus it’s not appropriate to
rezone without the variance. He described the parts of the lot that are
steeply sloped. He provided a photo to explain the site layout. He explained
the reasons behind regulations prohibiting development on steep slopes. A
variance is required since the property is in the Housing zone district.
Similar development in this zone district received variances, such as at
Solar Vail for development on steep slopes.
Spence described the location and shape of the Fire Department parcel,
and the portion that will be combined to form the new development site. The
rezoning would only go into effect upon recording the new subdivision plat.
Perez- Where is the access to these lots?
Spence – From Chamonix Lane, not from Upper or Lower Traverse Way.
Stockmar – The Chamonix HOA could grant that access, if it chooses.
Spence – Rezoning of this land would be the third step. He provided some
context for the other three development applications that will be coming to the
PEC.
Spence described the formation of the future development site, and the
relationship to the minor subdivision and rezoning.
Gillette – Why is the General Use parcel important, it does not look
developable?
September 17, 2019 - Page 21 of 77
Spence – It’s about one-quarter of the site, and is also important because of
the required setbacks. It’s not important to the GRFA, which is set by the
PEC. This piece of land makes the site more developable in a traditional
manner.
Perez – Why are we deleting the last paragraph on pedestrian circulation?
Spence – The original master plan discussed pedestrian circulation, but in
reality there is not space to install sidewalks. It’s not feasible.
Stockmar – What about pedestrian circulation on this piece of land? They
will only be able to get to it from the firehouse lot, or Chamonix Lane.
Spence explained where pedestrian and vehicular access would be provided
from Chamonix Lane, the same as all other developments on this road.
Gillette – Who was noticed about these applications?
Spence – Adjacent property owners. He showed such properties on a map.
Notice included all item on today’s agenda.
Spence described the development plan, and what is required by the Vail
Town Code. He explained how the main development standards would be
included, such as height and setbacks, and GRFA. But the applicant is
requesting that the details of the site plan and building design be delayed
until a later date. He described that the maximum height would be based on
the elevation of Chamonix Lane. The applicant proposes to provide more
information for the next meeting with PEC. The applicant has requested to
separate the details from the main elements, such as height and setbacks
and zoning, to provide some entitlements to the land.
Additional Public Comment
Neal Shubert – Moved here from Miami, where they gave up too much
public land. Town might need that land some day in the future. You can’t get
that back in the future.
Gillette – That is beyond the scope of this board, but I suggest you bring
your concern to Town Council.
Neal Shubert – Asked where the maximum building height will be measured.
Gillette – Asked Fire Chief Novak about use of this site for the ambulance
district. If we sell this, there will be no opportunity for using this land for the
ambulance.
Fire Chief, Mark Novak – Discussion of using this site for ambulance
operations was prior to my arrival in Vail. We discussed options, and the
paramedics decided that the best location for them is at Vail Health. There
can be some efficiency for combining ambulance at the same location as
the Fire Department. There are no immediate plans, and paramedics have
no immediate use for this site.
Stockmar – Are you comfortable that you will not need this site in the future?
Once this site is sold and developed, we no longer have this option.
Novak – Building on this hillside would be very expensive. I have never been
September 17, 2019 - Page 22 of 77
involved in discussions on development of this site for the ambulance.
Spence – Town Council has directed the staff to move forward with this
application. We can only reasonably assume that they had discussions of its
alternate use.
Kjesbo – As I recall, the ambulance district determined that they do not want
to build here.
Spence – Staff believes that the first three items can stand on their own, and
can be voted on today. He requested that the PEC provide specific
questions, or information needed, so that we can pass this information to the
applicant.
Neubecker – The detail of architecture and site design will only be
developed after the property is sold to a developer. The future buyer is
looking for some assurance on what they are buying and what they can
build. But asking for detailed drawings at this time may not be possible.
Spence – If the PEC is not comfortable with the current proposal, what
additional information or plans are needed to make a decision, short of a full
blown development plan?
Gillette – Show the site with a cube representing height and setbacks, a 3D
model that we can spin around, assuming we have topography.
Lockman – I would like to know what a development on this lot could look
like.
Stockmar – I don’t want to see a building looming on this site significantly
taller than other buildings.
Spence – Applicant is trying to put some entitlements on the site to provide
some assurance to a future buyer of this site.
Perez – Recommend continuing these items until we can have more details
and information from George, including a complete presentation.
Spence – What types of questions does the PEC have? Please articulate
further.
Perez- It would be helpful to have a complete presentation on the last three
items.
Gillette – Would like to hear more about the future use of the triangle piece
of land, and discussions held by Council that this site is not needed.
Stockmar – Leaning toward continuing these items until we have more
information.
Spence – What other questions do you have, so that we can prepare the
applicant?
Lockman – Looking for clarity on the relationship of the HOA to this
property, and the expectations of the owners, since this master plan called
for 100% deed restricted housing.
September 17, 2019 - Page 23 of 77
Perez – Want to see the picture on the front of the jigsaw box before we put
the pieces together.
Kurz – I would be ready to move forward on the first three items. I feel
comfortable on these items, with the benefit of hindsight, they have been
discussed over the past many years. I will defer to the rest of the board. A
massing model would be a good idea.
Neal Shubert – Encourage everyone to walk the property. There is a
drainage line at the end of our property. Who is responsible to tie everything
together from our side to this lot?
Spence explained the snow storage areas for Chamonix Vail neighborhood.
He described the required setbacks from property line.
Lockman – Could they build a sidewalk down Lower Traverse Way?
There was a general discussion about pedestrian access, and if a walkway
could be installed along the northeast side of this site. There was concern
that people will create their own path.
Stockmar – My preference is that we continue these items.

Planner Gates presented, and explained that this is a cleanup of the Town
Code. The Town Attorney has reviewed this proposed language. Redundant
language is proposed for removal. Two ordinances are proposed, for code
cleanup and for changes to language on retaining walls on steep slopes.
This amendment is something that was recommended by the DRB. We are
seeing smaller lots and steeper lots being developed. This forces more
retaining walls.
Perez – In Title 12, there was supposed to be a cross reference to the
actual definitions, not just “all words and phrases not defined herein shall
use their customary definitions”.
Gates - Are you asking that we refer to the Title 12 definitions for the Title 14
definitions we are removing?
Perez – Yes.
Gates – The “customary definitions” language was recommended by the
Town Attorney, but we will add in the references to Title 12.

Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations
amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Title 14, Development
Standards, Vail Town Code, to amend the regulations on building design
and landscaping in the Wildland Urban Interface to reduce the risk of
wildfire, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-0035)
45 Min.
Applicant:Town of Vail
Planner:Chris Neubecker
Planner Neubecker introduced the proposal and its history starting with how
the WUI code in its entirety was proposed to be added to the Town Code.
The scope has since changed to provide specific regulations related to
building materials and limits on landscaping design. In the long term, we plan
to place this proposal under a single ordinance with building code revisions.
The Fire Department has included our current landscaping pamphlet
explaining how properties can be in compliance.
Fire Chief Novak began to explain the changes to the code and their
reasoning behind it. Wildfires are not a matter of “if” they will happen, but
more a matter of “when”.
Gillette had a question about what will trigger these regulations. Does
landscaping require a permit?
Neubecker - Just adding landscaping does not require a permit.
Novak - Landscaping compliance would only be triggered by developments
or alterations that trigger these regulations and only for the portion of
landscaping that is disturbed by construction. This is a resiliency and
sustainability issue. Fires are getting worse and have a number of health
and environmental impacts. Novak continued to elaborate on fire impacts.
September 17, 2019 - Page 26 of 77
When homes burn, their runoff is considered hazardous and it contains a
number of dangerous materials. There is no greater threat to Gore Creek
than a catastrophic wildfire. Fires that are low intensity can improve wildlife
habitat, but in our area with our forests, we are likely to only get high
intensity fires that permanently alter the local habitat. There is also a public
impact; fires can have a large impact on tourism. People left Aspen last year
on their vacation because of smoke alone. If we lose a lot of homes, we may
struggle to get the workforce back to rebuild quickly. All of Vail is in the
wildland urban interface. The town’s entire interior is exposed to potential
wildfire. We have a different understanding today as to why homes burn
than we did 10 years ago. The understanding now is that fires start with
embers that can land up to a mile away. Because of our forests, we have
infrequent, very intense fires. Clock is ticking on our “stand replacement”
fire. Novak showed a map of fire risk severity around Vail.
Gillette - When was the last fire here?
Paul Cada -. Well over 100 years since the last major fire. As the Chief
said, the clock is ticking on another fire. Insects and disease also increase
our fire risk. He showed an infographic stating measures to keep Vail fire
safe. He mentioned safe evacuation of citizens and monitoring nearby fires.
Another key component is to reduce ignition materials present in urban
areas. What causes buildings to ignite? This is a question key to
understanding wildfire protection. Direct flame contact does cause fires but
its rare, ember ignition is far more common. Embers can build up in the
nooks of a house and burn it before any surrounding vegetation. Structure
to structure conflagration is also an issue, but more of an issue in high
urban areas; this is what the original fire code was written for. A house on
fire can generate a greater amount of heat than the front of a forest fire.
Cada then showed a video demonstrating how a house can catch fire from
embers in the air.
Stockmar asked a question about the Town’s roof replacement program,
whether people were taking advantage of it.
Neubecker - Staff still receives a lot of expedited reroof applications.
Cada - The Fire Department is proposing a suite of code changes to help
improve Vail’s fire preparedness. The code amendments are for new
construction and for additions of over 500 square feet.
Gillette asked about how this code change would work with additions, since
the entire house will need to match the addition.
Cada - In talking with the DRB, they felt confident that applicants would be
able to find comparable materials to what is already present on a structure to
meet compliance both with the fire code changes and with architectural
unity.
Gillette asked about someone doing a complete façade replacement, would
they be required to meet the code?
Cada - No, but that they often meet the code anyway.
Gillette - Why you wouldn’t require this anyway on façade replacements?
September 17, 2019 - Page 27 of 77
Cada - This was done for community acceptance.
Stockmar - Many people are already voluntarily complying.
Cada - These amendments are similar to other hazard regulations with the
one exception that is the entire town is within this fire hazard. Adoption of
this code would safeguard the current design standards. What is being
proposed is already in line with current building trends in Vail. It may not be
a 100% perfect solution, but it was important to find a good compromise
without imposing too much on the community at once. Embers are a key
factor for structure ignition. Cada showed some graphics to support this
statement. Cada continued to explain where to find appropriate building
materials.
Stockmar – What is the reception from insurance companies?
Cada - Insurance companies are paying attention to fire risk more and
more. The Fire Department is also open to coordinating with local insurance
companies.
Cada - The allowed building materials include: 1-hour fire resistant rated
material, noncombustible materials, heavy timber or log wall construction, or
identified ignition resistant materials. There is also a provision to allow
combustible siding up to 33% of a wall and not within 5 feet of the ground
level. This provision was discussed with the DRB to allow for more design
choices. Most ember fires start at the base of a building. Cada showed
some examples of homes in Vail that meet the proposed fire standards
without being required to.
Gillette asked a clarifying question to make sure standard treated wood
complies with this code.
Kjesbo - It does.
Cada introduce the landscaping/defensible space regulations. These are
non-prescriptive; this requires that an applicant submit their landscaping
plan to the Fire Department staff for review, who will then give comments.
This is done to maximize design choice for applicants.
Gillette asked about manpower for these reviews.
Novak - The Fire Department will be proposing in the upcoming budget to
add another fire employee for reviewing.
Cada - They would rely on Planning staff for landscaping inspections, which
is already their responsibility, and the Fire Department would get involved
with inspections as needed.
Kjesbo – Have a concern about the Fire Department being given the power
to design landscapes, since the result of this is that the Fire Department
gets final say on landscaping.
Gillette also expressed concern on this point. There are some scenarios
where someone would need to plant trees for screening between neighbors,
but Fire wouldn’t allow them.
Cada showed a picture of an example property that could still have side
September 17, 2019 - Page 28 of 77
screening with trees.
Gillette expressed skepticism pointing out some trees on the diagram that
are within 15’ of the structure.
Cada - This is why the code is non-prescriptive so that Fire Department can
make a staff determination about when its worth having a tree nearer to a
residence.
Gillette - This will still be not enough for some homes.
Cada - This is where smart building construction comes into play. Don’t
build a bathroom window that is in view of a neighbor.
Novak - We have a back and forth discussion with the DRB if that board
has a problem with what the Fire Department is requiring. This will require
both the Fire Department and DRB to become more familiar with each
other’s goals. A few years down the line and a lot of those issues will sort
themselves out.
Perez had a concern about the rate of turnaround for the DRB and Fire
Department interplay.
Novak - The current turnaround is 10 days and that is the department
standard they want to keep. In speaking with the Board of Appeals, it was
agreed that codifying required plan review turnarounds is a bad idea.
Gillette - I would be comfortable if this didn’t require that homes maintain
their defensible space after gaining a permit. This is proposed to be a
fineable offense if people add trees after the permit is issued.
Novak - If this isn’t a requirement, then some of these changes don’t work.
Novak also mentioned that this is not retroactive.
Gillette - The proposed wording does not say that is not retroactive. It
requires it for all developments.
Novak - Higher up in the code it states that none of the changes are
retroactive, including the line in question.
Perez - The Commission is only getting the proposed amendments
piecemeal and not every section the Commission is receiving has this
statement about the regulations not being retroactive. Perez also requested
that “the Town” be capitalized uniformly. Perez also had an issue with the
use of the word “tenants” rather than “occupants” in regard to the Gross
Floor Area definition.
Gillette - Section 12-11-3A proposed language does require all landscaping
changes to be reviewed by the Fire Department, including older buildings.
Novak – We will would work with Planning to make the language more
consistent and incorporate the language changes proposed by
Commissioner Perez. Novak also stated that the intent is to not have the
code changes be retroactive, so they will work to make that clearer for the
section in question by Commissioner Gillette.
Gillette - The intent should be to require applicants install landscaping in
September 17, 2019 - Page 29 of 77
accordance to the Fire Department guidelines, but once they have approval
and the knowledge from the Fire Department, it should be their choice to
add landscaping and put their own home at risk. If the Department starts
limiting landscaping, people will go ballistic in Vail.
Stockmar - I understand where the Department is coming from and don’t
want my neighbor’s choice to put my own home at risk. He also mentioned
that it is important to get language and wording right.
Gillette brought up the example that people don’t have to keep their home up
to building code after receiving a permit. Delete that wording and rely on
Title 5.
Kjesbo agreed on these points. He agreed that these changes will make the
Town safer and that he appreciates the work, but worries that some changes
might be taking things too far.
Novak – We will come back with changes.
Cada - The first owner may know the risks of adding extra landscaping that
negates other fire mitigation measures, but future owners would not and may
unknowingly live with the added risk. Cada also brought up Chamonix,
asking if the developer there had added extra landscaping that was a risk,
would they tell the future owners?
Gillette said he agreed with this and that people will always want to change
their landscaping.
Neubecker - The point of these changes is to move the Town in the right
direction, not to mitigate all risk.
Cada - Asked if the Commission wanted language in Title 12 that
encourages but does not require retroactive compliance, while in Title 14
having language requiring compliance for applications that trigger Fire
Department review.
Perez thanked the Department for coming back to the Commission with
specific code language in context. It is helpful for the Commission.
Novak asked for clarity on the changes asked for by the Commission.
Stockmar stated that they need the minor changes that had previously
mentioned and that it would likely be best to continue this to the next
meeting.
Stockmar I’m in general supportive of the goals of the Fire Department in
these proposed changes, and that in the long-term future I wouldn’t mind
seeing some more prescriptive regulation.
After taking the continuation vote, Kjesbo requested a final comment. All
consented.
Kjesbo wanted clarification that the reduction of evergreen foliage below a
certain height be a recommendation for existing properties.

The planning committee for the Town of Vail and Vail Mountain Guest Experience Initiatives has
made a great deal of progress related to the “Thanksgiving Reimagined” activation and employee
engagement programming. The attached agreements for funding with Ren Productions, chosen by
CSE to serve as the event producer, and Vail Chamber and Business Association (VCBA), chosen
to assist with engagement, outlines the arrangement for services related to this programming. In
order to move to the next stages of the planning and production, staff requests approval of the
attached agreements. The final 2019 supplemental budget ordinance will include the proposed
costs for the guest experience initiatives estimated for the three components of programming as
follows: 1) Employee Curriculum $15K TOV funded, 2) Employee Engagement $24K for VCBA, and
3) Thanksgiving Reimagined up to $100K for Ren Production.
2. ACTION REQUESTED
The Town Council is asked to approve the attached agreements for funding with 1) Ren
Productions, and 2) Vail Chamber and Business Association, so that further planning and
implementation can be done related to the Thanksgiving week activation and employee
engagement programming. The Committee will present the final details of the three initiatives and
community launch at the October 1 council meeting.
3. BACKGROUND
The Guest Experience collaboration between the Town and Vail Mountain has identified a series of
far-reaching partner initiatives that will form the foundation for ongoing resort-community programs
and activities. The goal is to align to provide a world-class experience for our collective vacationing
guests and progress the tourism economy forward, focusing first on the winter season with year-
round implementation to follow. Since the August 2018 Town Council and Vail Resorts retreat, the
Vail Guest Experience Collaborative Advisory Committee (Patty McKenny, Suzanne Silverthorn,
Mia Vlaar, Phil Metz, Yann Benjamin and Kristin Kenney Williams) has met weekly to create,
alongside Alison Wadey, Krista Miller and Jen Law, a customer service training program, an
employee engagement curriculum, and a strategy to create new traditions to bolster the early winter
season period and re-imagine the Thanksgiving holiday.
4. STATUS OF WORK
The following information provides a status of the work completed thus far:

Plan
5. DESCRIPTION OF GUEST EXPERIENCE INITIATIVES PROGRAMMING
• The goal of the customer service training program is to create a seamless, positive and world-
class guest experience by training all employees in the town in a common language and
manner to interact with our guests.
o Guest Service Training: 4 sessions 2019
o Leadership Forum: 2 sessions 2019
• The goal of the employee engagement program is to draw upon the foundational work of the
Vail Chamber and Business Association’s ambassador program, which supports and encourage
community among employees, focusing on education, social opportunities and employee
recognition and rewards.
o Learning Vail’s History: 4 sessions 2019
o Community Merchant Tour: 2 sessions 2019
o Employee Engagement Kickoff: November 7, 2019
• The goal of the reimagined Thanksgiving is to create guest experiences featuring early season
traditions to ensure strong visitation year-over-year, both on- and off-mountain. The
components of this week’s activation include the following:
Vail Après Programming
• Celebrating Vail’s European alpine heritage by developing an ownable resort experience, a differentiator that enhances the village experience and creates emotional connection. The programming will focus on creating a tradition using bells throughout the villages at a certain time of day. The activation will celebrate the legacy of Vail by utilizing the clock towers in the villages’ chime, while bells ring across the mountain and in the villages symbolizing the beginning of an activated Après experience.

ITEM/TOPIC: Update on Flashing LED Stop Signs & Rapid Flashing Beacon Pedestrian
Crossing Signs
ATTACHMENTS:
Description
LED Stop Sign Memo
September 17, 2019 - Page 60 of 77
To: Town Council
From: Public Works Department Date: 9-17-19 Subject: Update on Flashing LED Stop Signs & Rapid Flashing Beacon Pedestrian
Crossing Signs Over the past several years it has become apparent that the intersection at Vail Road and Meadow Drive has become increasingly congested with buses, vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. This congestion has been accompanied with an increased
frequency of vehicles running the stop signs at this intersection. The Transit department has indicated that on several occasions’ vehicles running the stop signs have come within inches of hitting buses and pedestrians. This frequent running of stop signs at this location was brought to the attention of the Town’s Safety committee. After numerous efforts over the past year and a half to make the stop signs more visible, by
pruning and eliminating sign clutter, it was determined that adding a flashing LED stop sign, similar to the one added along the South Frontage Road at Vail Valley Drive, would be the next best step. Flashing light signs have become more prevalent in Vail over the past few years where
pedestrian safety is at risk. The Town has installed 41 Rapid Flashing Beacon (RFB) pedestrian signs at critical pedestrian crossings including all crosswalks within roundabouts and within most mid-block Frontage Road crosswalks. The intersection at Vail Road and Meadow Drive likely has the highest volume of
pedestrians crossing a public road in Vail, and may have warranted the installation of these RFB pedestrian signs, however considering the frequency of pedestrian crossings and the fact that vehicles and bicyclists are already required to stop at this intersection, a first step would be to attempt to force all vehicles and bicyclist to stop by drawing attention to the stop signs. The flashing LED stop sign strategy will help draw attention
to the stop signs and has been successfully implemented in other municipality locations, most notably in Frisco along Main Street.( https://www.summitdaily.com/news/frisco-installs-blinking-lights-on-stop-sign/) The new stop signs were installed last week (see photos below), however at this time
the flashing LED’s have been turned off. Town Staff recommends leaving the signs in place with the flashing LED’s on, so that we can evaluate their performance, and vehicle conformance to the stop condition. Our bus drivers drive through this intersection every 5 minutes and will be able to evaluate whether or not drawing attention to the stop condition alleviates the existing frequent non-stops.
September 17, 2019 - Page 61 of 77
Town of Vail Page 2
Similarly, it is also recommended that the eastbound stop sign at the intersection of Vail
Valley Drive and the South Frontage Road be replaced with a flashing LED stop sign,
as vehicles frequently run this stop sign as well. This is a unique stop condition, and deserves more attention to the fact that a stop condition exists. In addition, as the town continues to install RFB type safety signs, we continue to
receive additional requests for them. Public Works staff request this discussion be
scheduled for a future meeting as it would be helpful for Town Council to weigh in on a policy surrounding these types of signs, and whether or not they should be installed in other areas around town, like Vail Valley Drive (5 major pedestrian crossings) and West Lionshead Circle (3 major pedestrian crossings).

August 5, 2019 AIPP Meeting Minutes
September 17, 2019 - Page 63 of 77
Public Notice - Art in Public Places Board Meeting Minutes
Monday, August 5, 2019 - 8:30 a.m.
Town Council Chambers
AIPP Board members present: Susan Bristol, Kathy Langenwalter, Bill Pierce, Margaret Rogers, Kara
Woods
AIPP Board members absent: Julie Hansen, Patricia Donovan
Others present: Molly Eppard, AIPP Coordinator
1. Roll call and approval of minutes from July 1 meeting.
2. Citizen input.
3. Summer Mural Program Update
The Board reviews the digital rendering proposed by Pat Milbery for his summer mural at the Vail Village
structure. Molly reads the narrative from Pat. He has taken the “Love Vail” logo and translated it to reflect the
Colorado state flag – mimicking the red, yellow, and blue present in the “C” of the flag. The two elk represent
“Two Elk” on Vail Mountain reflecting the mountain he has enjoyed for so many years as a former professional
snowboarder. Pat writes he is: Inspired by Colorado colorful, very colorway seasonal based to represent the
four seasons feel, playful, energetic, photogenic, as a positive, and will really bring some life to this space. Bill
is not favorable of the mural, as he does not see the symbolism. Molly comments that AIPP selected Pat based
on his previous work. His mural proposal is definitely in-line with his style and composition approved by the
Board. She reiterates to the Board to be careful not to design artists’ work and let the artists be the artists.
Margaret agrees that the Board should not design by committee. Kara compliments the proposal and she
especially likes the vibrant color and elk. Molly reminds the Board the curation of the muralists this summer
was based upon appealing to several demographics. The artists have varying styles appealing to a wide range
of audiences. Kara reminds the Board that his geometric renditions of the mountains are similar to how he
translates the “Love this City” mural which the Board reacted to positively. Molly is concerned some of the
Board has forgotten the body of his work and reminds them he often incorporates text and language into his
murals. Kara reminds the Board of some of his popular murals we previously reviewed. She comments that we
have knocked it out of the ballpark with our first two murals and need to have the confidence that this mural will
also be well received. Molly has received very positive feedback on both Kelsey and Pedro & Jaime’s mural.
There is quite a bit of social media attention to these works. Similar to the other muralists, the Board has not
given direction to the artists as far as composition and style. They have all been commissioned based on
review of their previous work. The Board decides to keep Pat’s mural within the corridor versus having
extended elements. Molly reiterates she feels very confident in Pat as an artist. He is getting quite a bit of
recognition and significant commissions. Kara compliments the mural as it is the only work which is actually
reflective of the mountains and where we live.
Meet the artists Tuesday, August 13th – 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.
Cleaning wall – applying protective Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic to bottom two feet.
Painting entire wall gray base color selected by Pat.
Does the Board want to look to introducing a mural each summer?
Molly asks the Board to look to next summer’s destination art? She asks the Board to bring
ideas to the next meeting.
Molly is working with a photographer and First Chair Design to make window decals to mask the
unsightly windows across from Jaime and Pedro’s murals.

4. Winter programs
Molly explains to the Board about the November RFP for activation aligning with the snowmaking on Vail
Mountain issued by CSE. The Board hopes that holiday celebrations do not start too far in advance of
December. Margaret comments that she does not want to see Christmas holiday types of events in November.
The Board wants AIPP to continue to focus on our existing Winterfest and Lantern programming.
Lantern Workshop and Walk will take place on Sunday, December 22
Music 4:00 – 5:00
Santa 4:30 – 5:30…Launch walk at 5:00
Workshop with Alpine Arts on 20th VRD and 22nd – library – noon – 3:30
Molly asks for feedback on the Winterfest Ice Installations. Molly comments that the illuminated interactive ice
installations are very popular. People enjoy sitting in the ice thrones and posting on social media. Kathy would
like to invite Paul Wertin back to look at his previous installation concepts, especially the maze. Kara asks if
this might be the opportunity to look at different types of lighting at the area as well. She comments that the
visual aspect of the theater was appealing, so we should look to keeping some type of visual presence. Molly
comments she can revisit the lighting design companies we looked at for 2015. The Board feels comfortable
moving forward with Paul. Kara thinks we should look at the companies we have previously contacted to see if
they may be able to look at some cool lighting techniques. The Board feels we should only give lantern lights
and hot cocoa at the gathering. The swag can be given at the library versus at Slifer Square. Margaret
comments that the lantern making event has gotten so popular we need to simplify it due to the number of
people participating. Molly thinks the cut off time at the library workshop should be more strict and that is when
we can give away free lanterns to those who arrive too late. Margaret wonders if we need a larger location due
to the growing number of participants. She suggests getting rid of the treats because that takes up a lot of
space and the other crafts – leave it just to lantern making no matter what age.
6. Coordinator Updates
Art Walks – great participation this summer – approximately 35/40 people a tour. The Board does not
think we dilute the walk with volunteer docents.
VRD has cleaned out Art Shack
Ford Park portals now complete – last stone is set by Covered Bridge
10th Mt. Soldier Memorial restoration went very well. The sculpture looks great.
George Tobolowsky was in town and cleaned his sculpture. He also showed Molly images of other
works to be considered by AIPP.
September 17, 2019 - Page 65 of 77
Ava Cunningham (VMS intern) completed the utility box painting in Ford Park. She did a great job. A
gift card was sent on behalf of AIPP.
Clubhouse – a wall covering photograph of the Gore Range by local photographer Brendan Caffrey is
being made and installed in August. Looking at a couple more art possibilities.
Vail Dance collaboration on Art Walk. Molly invited the painter who created the images on the signs
throughout the village. The artist discussed each work as we approached a sign. It was a very last
minute collaboration, but went well. His wife is a dancer with the festival and joined the tour which I
think the guests also enjoyed.
Met with Bravo about possible collaboration next summer
Molly and the Board thank Bill for his service to Art in Public Places. The Board takes Bill to breakfast.
7. Other Matters from the Board
Margaret comments about a few issues regarding her attendance at meetings towards the end of the
year. She apologizes to the Board and feels like she is letting the Board down. She comments that if
September 17, 2019 - Page 66 of 77
the Board feels she should resign she understands. She is going to try to be here in November
because she does not want to miss multiple meetings in a row. Molly appreciates her informing us and
the Board. Molly comments that attendance has been an issue for the Boards and it is being looked at
by the town. She appreciates Margaret’s continued participation in and out of the scheduled meetings.
Kara comments that Margaret’s participation and knowledge of the AIPP is valuable to our program. Bill
remarks that he had uncertainty with his upcoming schedule and attendance which is why he is
stepping down. He did not feel like it was fair to the Board if he could not commit to attending future
meetings. Molly asks the Board if they think a five member Board would be a more effective number for
AIPP. Bill thinks five is a much more manageable number similar to DRB. He thinks seven is a big
number. Kara agrees. The Board agrees that it would be easier for communication and help with
accountability for participation. Molly will discuss reducing the number with the acting Town Manager
and Clerk.
Kathy asks if Bill would be interested in participating in the Art Shack.
