Housing Memo
May 19, 2020 - Page 5 of 65
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: May 19, 2020
Subject: Update on Vail Town Council Initiative to Explore Alternate Path to Achieving the
Housing and Environmental Stewardship Goals
____________________________________________________________________________
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this is to provide an update on the progress of the Vail Town Council’s initiative
to explore an alternate path to achieving the adopted housing and environmental stewardship
goals. Since announcing their intent to explore alternate paths forward following the approval of
the Booth Heights development in East Vail, the Vail Town Council has met regularly in
executive session to instruct negotiators on potential alternatives. This memorandum identifies
potential options, and outlines possible next steps forward.
II. BACKGROUND
On January 16, 2020, Vail Mayor Dave Chapin announced that the Town of Vail had
approached representatives from Vail Resorts and Triumph Development with the objective of
exploring an alternate approach to the Booth Heights development approved for East Vail. In
doing so, it was acknowledged that the desire of the Town was to pursue a win-win outcome
that achieved a balance between the adopted housing and environmental stewardship goals.
Since that time, primary focus of the Town’s efforts has been to focus on town-owned properties
where additional housing could be developed in the near term while ensuring adequate time to
implement habitat enhancements on town-owned and USFS-owned lands over the long term.
The Town has adopted goals and policies for maintaining and sustaining community in Vail
through the acquisition of new deed restrictions for housing and for wildlife habitat protection
and environmental stewardship. By design, the adopted goals and polices are intended to be
complimentary and supportive of one another. While priorities may differ from time to time, no
one single set of goals or policies is more important than another. A healthy balance amongst
all the Town’s goals needs to be maintained.
The Town’s goals are adopted with achievement in mind. For that reason, when goals are
adopted, quantifiable measurements are established to track progress towards achieving the
goal. In the instance of housing in Vail, the Vail Town Council and Vail Local Housing Authority
have established a measurable goal of acquiring 1,000 new deed restrictions by the year 2027.
As it pertains to wildlife habitat protection and environmental stewardship, a measurable goal of
ensuring that habitat is maintained to current or improved levels of biological health as
measured by indicator species and land use has been adopted. Presently, implementation
May 19, 2020 - Page 6 of 65
Town of Vail Page 2
actions are in place which are advancing the Town towards achieving both its housing and
environmental stewardship goals.
III. POTENTIAL OPTIONS IDENTIFIED
Multiple town-owned properties were identified as viable alternate housing sites that would
provide an equitable outcome for Vail Resorts, Triumph Development and the Town. Of
importance to Vail Resorts and Triumph Development is the realization of an alternate site
which results in an equal or greater number of deed-restricted homes, of substantially the same
total floor area, with the ability to provide housing for a minimum of 144 people, as has been
approved for the Booth Heights development. Of importance to the Town has been to acquire
additional open space lands and gain the additional time required to implement much needed
habitat enhancements and achieve its adopted housing goal of acquiring 1,000 new deed
restrictions by the year 2027.
The Town identified several potentially viable sites for additional housing development. In order
to have the greatest influence on the development of additional housing, the town focused its
efforts on town-owned properties as these properties are in the Town’s control. Potential sites
identified include:
• Public Works Maintenance and Administration Facility site
• West Middle Creek Parcel
• Redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments
• Middle Bench of Donovan Park
• Middle Creek Lot 3 (Children’s Garden of Learning site)
• Town-owned municipal site (West Building)
• Vail Gymnastics Center
The Town also proactively pursued partnership opportunities with existing private landowners in
the Town of Vail. While not currently owned by the town, the town sought either an opportunity
to potentially acquire certain sites through purchase or enter into some form of public/private
partnership with the intent of producing additional housing. Examples of those partnership
opportunities include:
• Former Roost Lodge site
• Former Park Meadows Lodge site
• CDoT-owned Parcel in East Vail
• Cascade Tennis Court site
To aid in evaluating the potential options identified, a site selection matrix was generated. The
site selection matrix evaluates each of the sites based upon a set of criteria. A copy of a site
selection matrix has been attached for reference.
In the end, several potential options rose to the top as viable options, while several of the
options came off the list due to political, logistical, practical, financial, timing, or ownership
concerns. For example, Lot 3, Middle Creek and Timber Ridge Village Apartments each rose to
the top as each is owned by the Town and each site is presently underutilized with opportunities
to improve the use of each site respectively. Conversely, the former sites of the Roost Lodge
and Park Meadows Lodge each have fallen off the list as the owners are pursuing alternate
development plans.

IV. NEXT STEPS FORWARD
A possible alternate site option has been presented to Vail Resorts and Triumph Development
for their consideration. The alternate site option presented has the unanimous support of the
Vail Town Council addresses the most important needs of Vail Resorts, Triumph Development,
as well as the Town of Vail. In sum, the option achieves a win-win outcome that is equal to, or
greater than, the entitlements approved for the Booth Heights development.
The next steps in moving forward with the option would include:
1. Continue progress with the approval and permitting processes for implementing wildfire
fuels reduction and wildlife habitat enhancements in East Vail.
2. Amend the land lease agreements and complete a minor subdivision of the town-owned
land at Middle Creek at Vail Apartments.
3. Seek additional opportunities to create new housing in Vail through changes in zoning.
4. Evaluate the feasibility of renovating the Vail Gymnastics Center to include a new early
childhood education center.
5. Develop additional deed-restricted homes adjacent to the Middle Creek at Vail
Apartments.
6. Pursue the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments ensuring an increase
in density.

Subject:VLHA appointment opportunity
Councilors:
I am interested in reappointment to the Vail Local Housing Authority. I am a Vail resident at 1601 Buffehr Creek Road.
My relevant professional experience includes a decade+ in commercial real estate analysis and valuation, and I have
developed commercial and residential properties in the Eagle Valley market. I have been a small business owner and
employer for many decades, as well as a residential and commercial landlord.
As a member of the VLHA, I have been involved in many changes and advancements over the years,
including: negotiating the lease for the Middle Creek apartment development, analysis of potential redevelopment
opportunities at Timber Ridge, and development and implementation of the
Vail Housing 2027 Plan (including the Vail InDeed program). In addition to other development projects, we have been
active in shaping many of the Town’s housing initiatives, policies and guidelines. I am particularly pleased that over the
years we have furthered the idea that housing is infrastructure; that funding housing initiatives is an investment rather
than a short‐term expense; and that deed‐restricted housing is for our residents (all of us) rather than just for
“employees” (them). We have also advanced the concept of working with the private sector to solve our housing needs,
and proven the utility of Resident Occupied (R‐O) deed restrictions.
We cannot have a vibrant and sustainable community without full‐time long‐term residents. And we cannot have long‐
term local residents without adequate available housing options.
I look forward to answering your questions on May 19.
Thank you,
Steve Lindstrom

Vail Town Council;
I would like to be considered for the vacancy on the Vail Local Housing Authority. I believe my
professional work experience, along with my education has provided me the necessary skills and
knowledge to offer unique insights within our local housing sector.
Over the past 3 years I have managed multiple apartment complexes, ranging from 32 to 185 residential
units in both Eagle and Summit County. My most recent work experience has provided me project and
construction management skills regarding capital improvements/projects as I oversee a budget of $2.2
million (Operating and capital).
Early this year I also established my own property management firm that has a valid Town of Vail
business license. I have been a resident of Vail since 2017 which allows me to stay current on housing
projects within the town. Additionally, I have a strong understand of the Vail inDEED program and have
previously worked with Employee Housing Units (EHUs).
I’m here to offer VLHA and the Town of Vail my time and energy in improving the Town of Vail housing
initiatives and long-term goals. My hope is that I’m considered as a candidate for this vacancy.

Subject:Liquor licensing Board Vacancy
Ms. Nagel
I am interested in becoming a member of the Liquor Licensing Board.
I am currently a resident of Intermountain and have been over 20 years.
I have resided within the Town of Vail boundaries for over 40 years.
I am a real estate Broker for Keller Williams Mountain Properties, I have had
my license since 1981. I maintain an office in the Wall Street Building.
I have no affiliation to any Bar/Restaurant nor have I worked for any
Bar/Restaurant. There would be no conflict of interest in that regard.
The reason for my interest is to become more involved in TOV governance
and get acquainted with how the decisions are made at the local level.
If you need or want references please feel free to speak with Kevin Foley,
Kim Langmaid or Dave "Bone" Chapin.
I can be reached on my cell phone 970‐390‐2267.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

c onstruc tion of a new hotel and on-site E HUs, located at 1783 North
Frontage Road/Lots 9, 10, 11, & 12, Buffer Creek Resubdivision, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C20-0008)
60 min.
Applicant:Vail Hotel Group L L C , represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Planner:Erik Gates
1. Approval of this Exterior Alteration is c ontingent upon the applicant
rec eiving Town of Vail Design Review Board approval for the
proposed improvements prior to rec eiving a building permit.
2. Prior to requesting a C ertificate of Occupanc y from the Town of Vail,
the applicant shall make a c ontribution of $70,000 to the Town in
order to construc t a bus shelter, with any remaining funds to be used
for Art in Public Plac es (AI P P).
Planner Gates gives an introductory presentation on the proposal. Goes
over the history of the site and reviews the proposed plans.
Henry: Staff is treating this as if the Roost was still there and not a green
site?
Gates: W e are reviewing it as if the Roost was a previous use for housing
requirements.
Dominic Mauriello, the applicant representative gives a presentation on the
proposal.
May 19, 2020 - Page 45 of 65
Loc kman: W hat’s the height of underground access? Questions the
practic ality of the trash removal.
Dominic: Dumpsters on wheels, allows for them to be moved for easy
ac cess for dump truc k. All done below grade.
Loc kman: Can you, Erik, explain the “net new credit” for the Roost site?
Gates: Code provision requires “net new” c ommerc ial linkage and c onsiders
the Roost as a previous use so they only need to provide for the differenc e
between the two.
Spenc e provides further details on “net new” provision.
Gillette: The yellow hashing on frontage road, do we have stuff like that in
other areas of town?
Dominic: Not the best on that, but there are other areas that have that lining.
Gillette: Concerned that it c ould be ineffec tive after snow cy cle. W ould a
median be better?
Tom Kassmel, Town E ngineer, gave reasoning for why those left turn lanes
are required.
Gillette: I f hashing is temporary and fades, could we just not do it?
Kassmel: Yes, we c ould not do it and just have that space for asphalt.
Perez: New bust stop going in, is that just for one way ?
Dominic: J ust replacing a bust stop that is just a sign with one that has an
enclosure. Only going westbound.
Loc kman: W hat about east bound?
Kassmel: Closest eastbound stop is Timber Ridge or S afeway.
Perez: W hat is the fastest way to get to the ski hill from here for employees?
Kassmel: W e don’t want to put one across the street with no safe way to
cross. Not a lot of room on opposite side of street.
Kurz comments on the public inputs that were received on rec ord. Gives
Dominic chance to address the one negative letter.
Dominic explains where that comment c ame from and the reasoning that
they still included the walkway.
Kurz asks for public comment.
Chris W ombolt 1860 Meadow Ridge Road #8: I appreciate the new
rendering. For that sidewalk, would we have to cut down those evergreens
along the side?
Dominic: Some may not be able to be saved. Some are beyond the
property that will be saved. A lot of utility work that will have to impac t that
May 19, 2020 - Page 46 of 65
area, so trees removed are not just for the sidewalk.
W ombolt: W here on the plan is the garage exhaust fan?
Dominic: Our architec t may be able to answer that.
Adam Ford, Architect: The plan is to have a well on the east side and
another on the northwest c orner of the building and will be a window well with
a grate. Nothing above ground. I t would be back towards Meadowbrook
Road and another on the east side at bac k of hotel.
W ombolt: That will be by our dumpster and pushing towards our building.
Ford: Not sure where your building is located.
W ombolt: Previous designer agreed to put fan out front and by hill on east
side. W e don’t want to be breathing garage air.
Ford: W e can look at that in mechanical design.
W ombolt: There currently is a lot of drainage in that area by the front. W ill
be by the front of the building and we’re worried it will end up in our
basement.
Kurz: Sounds like engineering issues.
Spenc e asks for Kassmel’s c omments in regard to that c oncern. Gates
repeats the concern for record.
Kassmel: Ty pically, what would happen would be under drains that would
draw groundwater towards foundation and discharge into storm sewer. Very
unlikely underground water would go offsite and there are surfac e drains
that would c apture surfac e drainage.
J amie and Adam Merriman Mustang Townhomes, duplex behind proposed
building: Concerns with the arc hitecture in the rear that faces their property
and that it will be a dull bac kground.
Dominic: The biggest difference is that there will be no decks or balc onies
on the back. The previous applic ations found that neighbors didn’t want to
see that. There will be stone, building relief, bracings, and should be of
same caliper as the front without the decks.
Gates shares his sc reen to show color rendering of the rear.
Merriman: I s there an outbuilding or elec trical building that will c reate a
humming noise on the east side of the rear?
Gillette: Like an A C condenser?
Merriman: Something like that, we just see the building and hear it. D on’t
know the appliance within. I s there going to be something there that will
make that noise?
Dominic: Don’t believe there is an outbuilding. W e’ll be within what is
allowed by Town code for noise and should actually reduce noise from
highway.
May 19, 2020 - Page 47 of 65
Merriman: Repeats the c oncern on venting from W ombolt about where the
vent comes out.
W endy Erb 1819 Meadow ridge Road Apt G, Hillside Condominiums: I f
conc erned about the environment for this project the exhaust coming out to
that bac k road will be hitting the condo balc onies where we live. That would
not be good for neighborhood or environment. On noise, we’ve become
used to traffic noise and believe that mechanical noise c loser would be a
negative c hange. Not sure of the level of noise to be expected from
something in the bac k of the building, but it will be a major impac t to people
living on meadow drive.
Kurz points out that noise levels would have to abide by limits in Town Code.
Erb: I take some issue with what Dominic states that this building wouldn’t
be far above the frontage road. W e believe the building would be two to
three stories above Meadow Ridge Road, which would be a signific ant
amount. W ould cast shadow on the road in the winter whic h would be the
most problematic time for that to happen. W onderful that there will be a bus
stop at the hotel. Has c oncerns that the shuttle will shut down and it will
overload the Town bus if that happens. References a previous applic ation
and conc erns about those issues and if that would be the same in this case.
Merriman: W ill there be c onstruc tion traffic on Meadow Ridge Road and
how long will construction last?
Dominic: Meadow Ridge Road may not be used for daily c onstruc tion traffic
but c ould see some traffic for items needed on the rear. A n 18-month
construction staring in spring of 2021 is expected.
Erb: W e have trucks that turn around in our driveway which c reates wear
and tear on that surfac e. I f there is any traffic on that road we would like a
guarantee that there will be no truc ks turning around in there. I t is not a
public driveway.
Gates: Construction would not be allowed to utilized other private property. I f
they use y our driveway, please c ontac t Code Enforcement.
Erb: W e want a fine and every instanc e be fined.
Kurz closes public input. Offers Dominic a chance to comment.
Dominic: As stated a lot of the c omments are addressed either in Town
Code or the requirements in Town C ode.
Perez: The S D D expired in February, correct?
Staff: Yes.
Perez: So that is not being used as a baseline?
Staff clarifies that the expired S D D is not the baseline and the Roost is the
baseline.
Seibert: The developers are c ommended to not have to go larger than the
previous plan. I t looks like it meets code with the conditions.
May 19, 2020 - Page 48 of 65
Pratt: W hat a tremendous improvement from the last applic ation. I n
response to the public comments, I do not see the generator on the plans
which will be necessary. Needs to be looked at where that is before final
approval.
Perez: Echoing Pratt’s c omments. Roost is the baseline, not a previous
SD D .
Loc kman: Concur with previous c omments. Best design we’ve seen so far
with bus stop, turn lanes, smaller building, and no variances needed.
Kjesbo: Appreciate the neighbor c omments and good points on the exhaust.
Don’t think water will be a problem and the water should be mitigated on site.
Marriott should have shuttles and it is in their best interest. I would like to see
the shadowing pulled up so we c an see where the shadows will be different
times of the y ear.
Gates bring up the images.
Gillette: My experience with that road is that it is steep and gets western sun
that thaws and freezes at the bottom where it flows.
Kjesbo: On the whole I like the project.
Gillette: I agree with staff’s recommendation and commissioners. Maybe
add some conditions. One, that exhaust or mechanical equipment be loc ated
away from neighbors and that D RB look at medians.
Kurz: Ec ho the previous c omments. Made a note that I have the same
conc ern as Merriman that back of building compared to front is less detailed
and more plain. Need to look at issues of noise and exhaust to protec t
neighbors.
Dominic: W ith respec t to exhaust the mechanical features are located within
the building and just have a grate or vent. There are restric tions on where
they can be located, so just want to be cognizant of where those can go if
any more conditions are added.
Spenc e agrees it could be diffic ult to c ondition that and there are Town
Codes to address those issues.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with c onditions. Karen P erez seconded the
motion and it passed (7-0).

4.I nformational Update
4.1.Following a presentation by the C limate Action Collaborative on green
building code recommendations, Staff requests a foc used disc ussion on
30 min.
May 19, 2020 - Page 49 of 65
adoption of c onstruction and demolition (C & D) waste diversion standards,
seeking the expertise and input from the P E C as Town Council and Staff
are interested in pursuing regulations around C & D waste diversion in Vail.
Applicant:Town of Vail, represented by Beth Markham
Planner:
Markham introduces Kim Sc hlaepfer and the general presentation on what
is being requested of P E C .
Schlaepfer introduces herself and a presentation on C limate Action Plan,
Building Code Task Force, and the proposed goals.
Markham go over some more goals. Shows where the Town is on reaching
the c urrent goals. A sks for PEC’s input on the presented items.
Perez: Can you tell whic h properties would be affected by #11?
Schlaepher: Most of those properties would be in unicorporated Eagle
County.
Perez: I see liability with imposing something like that.
Spenc e asks for Markham to expound on the Environmental departments
work on this topic.
Markham lists out what Peter W adden has been doing on the topic .
Kristen Bertuglia explains the stream setbac ks that Peter W adden is
currently working on.
Gillette: For this final C MW diversion rates, how would a c ontrac tor know
what their diversion rate would be?
Markham: would be assisted by haulers on weight of wastes and how muc h
of that was diverted.
Gillette: Get how that works for new construction, but doesn’t see how that
works for a remodel situation and needs to have a threshold of whether for
new construction or remodels and what size of jobs would need to record
those numbers.
Markham lists some ideas of how some smaller projects could utilize multiple
dumpsters to implement it.
Schlaepher: No spec ific size threshold at this time, but that there c ould be
ways to do it for all projects.
Kjesbo: Agree with the plan, but there are a lot of prac ticality questions.
Tight sites make it impossible to have multiple dumpsters on site. Gives
examples of how it would be diffic ult to c omply.
Perez: Echoes conc erns of Rollie. See issues of practic ality for
construction.
Gillette: The key is spac e, whic h is difficult in Vail. This would need to be
worked out with haulers on how it would happen with spec ial dumpsters and
when they tip them.
May 19, 2020 - Page 50 of 65
Kjesbo: Curious why this didn’t go to Building appeals board before P E C?
Spenc e: This is informational, and will go to them next.
Bertuglia explains why it was brought to P E C first.
Loc kman describes difficulties and relates it to the recy cling program that
was put in place and the approac h that needs to happen to give this proposal
a way forward.
Disc ussion takes plac e between c ommissioners on the effic ac y of trucking
for smaller projects with less materials. Could there be some Town provided
dump sites for smaller projec ts.
Gillette adds that something with a minimum value would be good to have a
threshold to have for these regulations. Pratt agrees and adds that he would
see it be a higher valuation. Rollie expresses the difficulty that it would
impose on small projects.
After further discussion Kurz adds that he appreciates the c omments from
commissioners in the field and thanks staff for their time.
Gillette has more questions on solar ready provisions and input from other
commissioners discusses if it would be better to have solar ready only for
certain sites.
Disc ussion takes plac e on peak demand, 200-amp ready homes, effic iency
of electric boilers, elec tric heaters, all elec tric houses, and the viability.

3. Summer 2020 installation discussion
• Review of Koko Bayer’s wheat pasting renderings for interior spaces in Vail Village
transportation center by La Cantina. The Board reviews several options for various identified
wall locations. The Board reviews what they believe may work by looking at her Instagram
account, along with her presentation. The Board responds positively to her interpretation of the
Colorado flag, the multiple hearts, the color of the pink lemonade/multicolored compositions,
the more subdued blue, hands in the upward gesture.
May 19, 2020 - Page 53 of 65
• Summer mural for Vail Village parking structure. The Board reviews several potential artists for
the wall selected by the Board for a summer mural. The wall is at the entrance by the parking
entrances upon entering the Village structure and would be painted in July due to
temperatures. The Board is interested in further discussing a mural with Jason Graves and
Remington Robinson.

4. Sculpture donation to Vail Public Library, Lori Barnes – Director VPL
• Lori reviews the proposal of a sculpture donation by artist Gary Lee Price New Heights of
Knowledge (https://garyleeprice.com/product/new-heights-of-knowledge-the-thinker/) to the
town’s public art collection to be placed at the library. This is the same artist who created the
May 19, 2020 - Page 55 of 65
Einstein bench sculpture donated by the Fritches by the Sitzmark. The sculpture being
proposed as a private donation fulfills the criteria for donated works to the public art collection
and fits well within the mission of the library. The work is in a limited edition of 40. The Board
moves to accept the sculpture donation to the Town of Vail’s public art collection as a gift and
would be responsible for maintenance, insurance, and siting the work. The location will be
decided at a future Board meeting. Lori will keep Molly apprised of any information pertaining
to the donation and timeline.
5. Coordinator updates
• Private developments with public art requirements include: Mountain Haus/Altus & Highline at
the Doubletree
• Revely / Economic Development Dept. They would like light art installation included as a major
feature to highlight the destination guest experience. Revely is scheduled to take place Nov.
20 – December 12. Holidays will continue to be an enhancement for the guest experience
taking place December 13 – January 3. The Board would like to invite the Economic
Development Department to present the concepts of Revely to discuss budget and how AIPP
would be involved in any potential production of a light installation. Kara remarks that we need
to be mindful of any involvement in the production and to be sure that AIPP would only be
involved in a potential art installation. Kathy reiterates the Winterfest budget does not go
towards Revely and we should discuss increasing the Winterfest budget.
• Art Walks through April 15th. The next walk will have a sign language interpreter at the request
of two guests.
• Board interviews will take place on Tuesday, March 3rd. Five members will be appointed March
3rd. The Board will review the discussion of reducing the size of the Board again from our
August and September meetings.
6. Ford Park Art Space Update
• Kathy informs the Board of her meeting with Diana Donovan regarding the evaluation of the art
space structure from Harry Teague Architects. She explained what has transpired and the
findings to Diana. She thought it might be nice to preserve the wall construction with
information how it was built and the history of the building. Kathy thinks we should look at next
steps going forward and looking at documenting the location, the root cellar, and the garage
which now serves as the picnic shelter.
7. No other matters from the Board.

5. Review of 2020 AIPP Budget
• AIPP is funded through the real estate transfer tax and private donations.
• The annual AIPP budget of $60,000 is allocated towards annual programs and exhibitions. The
monies not spent from this budget rolls forward to an account that accumulates for larger &
impactful destination projects similar to the Patrick Dougherty Stickwork installation.
• All contracts with artists are approved by the Town Attorney and are signed off by the Town
Manager or Director of Public Works depending on amount.
• The roll forward account is @ $500,000. AIPP will not be utilizing monies from this account in
2020. We have also cut 10% from the AIPP operating budget for 2020.
• $30,000 is allocated towards the annual Winterfest installation. AIPP has been very fortunate
to receive donations to augment the winter programs. Doe Browning has been very generous
to these events over the past several years.
• No capital projects this year for AIPP. Typically, 1% of original construction costs are budgeted
towards the integration of public art. We administer national calls to artists with these types of
large capital projects. Typically, we receive 80 – 100 interested artist applications.
• @$35,000 remaining in Art Shack budget. This is remaining from the original $50,000 donation
from East West Partners.
• @$25,000 is in Clubhouse budget for interior enhancements. When the stay at home order
lifts, we will reschedule a planned interior art installation by Emilio Garcia from Mexico. Kara
comments on the artists’ works already within the facility including local artist Amy Dose,
Denver artist Mai Wyn, and the entire collection of the Jerry R. Ford Invitational Golf
May 19, 2020 - Page 58 of 65
Tournament posters. The posters are reproduced from the original collection of Bill Hanlon.
AIPP works closely with Vail Rec. for the integration of art and other interior enhancements
within the Clubhouse as stakeholders.
• Molly explains the public works department is instrumental in the success of AIPP programs
with their hands-on assistance. The Flower Crew informs Molly of any concerns with condition
of artwork, as they are out in the field. We may postpone the annual cleaning of the bronze
sculptures, as they appear to be in good condition. Since we had the 10th Mountain Memorial
extensively conserved last Spring, it is presently in great condition requiring minimal
maintenance.
6. Summer 2020 installation discussion
Ladies Fancywork Society (https://www.ladiesfancyworksociety.com/):
• AIPP is under contract for both a major interior and exterior yarn installation at the library. We
are looking to June 11 – 14 for the installation, but we need to be flexible with timing due to the
stay at home order. International Yarn Bomb Day is June 11, which may be an opportune tim e
for a meet-and-greet. It will be a bright, cheerful, playful installation as a positive reintroduction
to summer in Vail.
• Molly would like to explore how any Valley-wide programming, community engagement and
interest in fiber/textile might be parlayed with this installation. Perhaps there may be an
opportunity to collaborate with the Mountain Art Collective. Alpine Arts is planning an event at
the library integrating textile on June 20.
Summer Mural Vail Village Parking Structure :
• Review Jason Graves & Remington Robinson’s proposal and discussion of comfortable budget
for the project. Molly compliments the thoroughness of their mural proposal. (images below)
Molly comments that this will be uplifting to the main entrance of the Vail Village parking
structure. It will be inviting for our summer guests/residents, as well as our returning winter
guests, especially those who had to leave Vail prematurely in the season.
• The square footage is much more significant with these proposed two walls than the murals
painted last summer. Kathy comments that they are working on a lot of area and seem to be
very reasonable with their price per foot. Tracy comments that she agrees it will be nice to
have a single artist create this entry experience on both wa lls and will be curious to see how
he is able to work on the price with AIPP.
• The Board reviews the wall locations and discusses the driving experience, the existing
signage, the conduits on the soffit, possibly wrapping around the front -facing area of the wall
on the right. Kathy comments that we do not want to have anything end starkly and would
prefer to see the design carried through versus the stark white walls.
• The Board would like to counter -offer a budget of $10,000 for the entire space and will look at
partnership for lodging the artists.
• Kara comments we need to see what the artists design rather than dictate their next steps.
She reminds the Board this proposal represents photoshopping a previous mural on the area,
so we see what it may look like. Kathy wants to make sure the design is unique to Vail.
May 19, 2020 - Page 59 of 65
• The Board would like to postpone the Koko Bayer installation at this time. Reviewing the
budget, we perhaps can look at something in the Fall. They would like to reiterate the
possibility of a design fee for an original work in Vail.
7. Ford Park Art Space- HTA Architects
• Kathy updates the new Board members abou t the recent review of options for the structure as
identified by Harry Teague Architects. She discusses the history, uses and needs for the
facility with the new Board members.
• We utilized $15,000 from the $50,000 from East West Partners donation for the se studies and
structural engineer findings.
• When the timing is right, AIPP will present our recommendations to Council as a Board for the
space. Kathy comments it will be a good discussion for the Board at a future retreat meeting.
8. Coordinator updates.
• The Board reviews the history and recommendation to reduce the Board size to five members
from seven. It was suggested we look to a more similar make -up like the Design Review Board
for creating efficiencies and attendance with AIPP. The previous Board members and new
Board members agree that five would be a comfortable number for AIPP. Kara comments
reviewing RFQ’s and RFP’s will be more thoroughly accomplished with five versus seven. She
thinks it offers possibility for better discussions.
• When the stay at home order is lifted, we will look to scheduling a Board retreat.
• Future meetings – May 4, June 1, LFS week of June 8 / meet the artists June 11, July 6,
August 3, September 14, Vail Social Sept 15, October 5, November 2, December 7…Lantern
Walk Dec 20 – opening of Winterfest
• The donor of library sculpture would like to visit Vail to look at possible locations for installation.
Looking to a July/August dedication.
• Each Board member is introduced and expresses their experience in the visual arts.
