Description
Memo Proposal Ambient and Music Entertainment
October 20, 2020 - Page 4 of 113
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Economic Development and Town Manager Office
Date: October 20, 2020
Subject: Proposal for Ambient and Music Entertainment in the Villages (as part of
Economic Recovery Efforts)
I. Purpose
The purpose of the discussion is to determine if Town Council would like to proceed with
programming and funding of seasonal ambient and music entertainment in Vail Village and
Lionshead as part of its economic recovery efforts.
II. Background
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted Town Council to fund outdoor music activation throughout
the villages and at the lower bench of Ford Park during the summer and fall of 2020. The
activation was designed to both support local businesses and to enhance the Vail guest
experience by featuring local talent performing in the great outdoors. The music entertainment
has been met with enthusiastic and positive reviews.
III. Discussion
The Commission on Special Events has begun its annual review and funding process currently
considering over 60 proposals for events for 2021. Most of the events requesting funding are
returning events with a proven track record. The CSE was allocated a budget of $780,084 in
2021 which is a 30% reduction from the original 2020 budget.
The CSE also received two funding proposals to provide ambient and music entertainment in
the villages. These proposals offer entertainment during both winter and summer periods
throughout 2021 and include a variety of live music and family entertainment options to enhance
the guest experience.
Because the programming of ambient and music entertainment is a direct response to
challenges presented by the pandemic, the CSE would suggest the town council consider such
proposals and funding levels as a part of its continued economic recovery efforts. The Town
Manager’s Office and the Economic Development team would take the lead on drafting a
“request for qualifications/proposals” process that would provide guidance on the components
and timing of such activation. In addition, there would be a need to identify a funding level for
such programming (from the General Fund); funding would include winter 2020 activations (from
supplemental funding) and 2021 activations. The basis of the programming would not
necessarily follow the typical “return on investment” but rather the goal would be to continue to
create the outdoor activations that enhance the guest experience. This proposed year-round
programming would serve the need to be outside because of social distancing and gathering
limitations as dictated by public health orders. Much like the other decisions that have been
made about economic recovery efforts, final decisions about such activation would be made by
October 20, 2020 - Page 5 of 113
Town of Vail Page 2
the Town Manager’s Office and the Economic Development team with a tactical review made by
the Directors serving on the Economic Recovery Task Force and the Event Review Committee.
Some questions that might help frame the process for consideration of such proposals follow:
1. Does the council see value in Ambient Village and Music Entertainment to support local
businesses and enhance the Vail guest experience?
2. If the council sees value, what budget would the town council be willing to dedicate to this
effort?
3. If the council sees value, what kind of programming would the town council prefer to see in
the Villages?
4. Would the council support outdoor entertainment during winter months?
4.1. Apres ski time frame or all day?
4.2. Frequency?
5. Would the council support outdoor entertainment during summer months?
5.1. Apres ski time frame or all day?
5.2. Frequency?
IV. Action Requested
The Council is asked to provide feedback about the proposal to issue an RFQ/P for Ambient
Village and Music Entertainment proposals and identify a funding level to support such
programming in 2021 as part of its economic recovery efforts and tactics in response to the
public health crisis.

Most Impactful Actions
1.Owning an e-bike 30%
2.Working from home 26%
3.Commuter incentive program 8%
October 20, 2020 - Page 15 of 113
Telecommuting
90% of employers said willingness to allow at home work increased
since COVID
Biggest barrier –lack of understanding on employee productivity
All other barriers were forced to be removed during COVID
Strategic Direction Implication
Each stakeholder should survey their employees to learn the benefits
employees have seen from telecommuting. For those industries/positions
where in-office work is required, investigate if work-from-home days
would be viable or if other smart commuting options would be a better fit.
October 20, 2020 - Page 16 of 113
E-Bikes
E-Bikes were selected time and time again as the preferred option for
commuting –if the respondents were to own one.
E-bikes offer a seasonal solution for commuters who cannot work from
home
Strategic Direction Implications
Stakeholders should ensure their businesses/public spaces have secure
bike racks and charging available for e-bikes.
Stakeholders should consider financial incentives to remove barriers to
purchasing e-bikes.
October 20, 2020 - Page 17 of 113
Public Transportation
Public transportation can be a solution for commuting for those
who can’t work from home, but many barriers first need to be addressed.
Free or subsidized passes are provided to 67%, but bus does not represent a
significant number of total trips (4% summer, 9% winter)
Prefer to drive myself Bus takes too long
No convenient stops Schedule doesn’t align with work schedule
Strategic Direction Implications
Stakeholders should engage with transit to ID the critical employment
centers that could be served by bus and work to expand service (normal +
express) into these areas.
Stakeholders should engage with transit to expand services (normal +
express) that support commuter times.
October 20, 2020 - Page 18 of 113
Parking
86% of respondents had free parking available to them
“Prefer to drive myself” barrier is easy to understand when convenient,
free parking is provided to the majority of commuters.
Strategic Direction Implication
Stakeholders should consider paid, reserved, or other parking restrictions
in commercial centers. Ensure each commercial center has access to
reliable alternative means of commuting. Work with public transportation
providers to ensure the service at the stops in large commercial centers fit
the needs of the businesses in those areas
Stakeholders should consider parking restrictions to limit on-site parking in
commercial centers for only fleet and visitor parking.

some of the criteria needed for a Conditional Use Permit (C UP) to install a
funicular. The applicant compares funiculars to ski lifts in terms of impact
and how a ski lift does not have additional criteria for a C UP and could be
installed on a single-family lot. Some examples of existing funiculars and a
private gondola are listed and explained. Goes over how one of the
funiculars on Forest road created a controversy which led Town Council to
change a funicular to a conditional use. Town Council added specific
criteria at the meeting and did not remand the application back to the
Planning and Environmental Commission.
The application is looking to amend certain parts of the section to make it
more flexible. He then goes over the specific changes proposed in the
language.
Gillette expresses concern that it may be too restricting still and could be
broader to include patio or deck.
Mauriello explains that’s possible and that they were trying to propose as little
change as possible. Goes into explanation of minimal activity or noise
October 20, 2020 - Page 71 of 113
produced by funiculars.
Spence adds that the change could be simply done with a few words added
to the proposed change.
Gillette wants to know what is needed to do small additions to lots like patios.
There is nothing prohibiting you from using your lot if steep, so why not let
people do this?
Perez is concerned with the “vehicular” portion as people may start using
ATVs or snowmobiles to access and how that could be a big impact.
Gillette gives a possible explanation of how a vehicle funicular would affect.
Spence adds that funiculars could not be the sole access for a home per
fire code.
Michael Suman adds a small description of what a funicular is.
Perez says while they can be small they could be large as well. Does there
need to be language added to limit it to residential use or could it be limited
to a conditional use?
Spence adds that those concerns could be addressed as this is a
conditional use and needs another round of review.
Mauriello adds that they could strike out the “vehicular” part and still move
forward.
Suman adds again that a house would not be built up a hill without the
garage at the bottom.
Spence clarifies why the language was included, coming from another
section. I t could also be appropriate to strike the “pedestrian of” out of
section B.
Perez and applicant agree with this.
Kurz asks what the grade is between house and recreation facility for the
example shown.
Suman estimates between 35-40 degrees.
There is no public comment.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to recommend approval with conditions. Brian Gillette
seconded the motion and it passed (7-0).
3.4.A request for review of an exemption plat, pursuant to Title 13 Chapter 12,
Exemption Plat, Vail Town Code, to allow for increases to the allowable Site
Coverage and Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) allotment for individual
lots within the Spraddle Creek Estates subdivision, and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (P E C20-0015)

Planner Spence goes over the reason why the application is back for
another round of discussion before asking for a recommendation. He lists
the requests made by the P E C at the previous meeting for more information
needed. Spence adds how the application has been changed and the
additional information that was reported.
Pratt asks about changing the HR language and if that would satisfy the
request.
Spence adds that it could be done that way, but a plat would still have to be
amended.
Pratt clarifies that this is the only property in the HR district.
Gillette doesn’t get how we can amend if they are voluntarily capping some
of the lots.
Spence adds that this could have been an S D D from the start since this is
the only property in this town with this zoning.
Pratt asks if this was the result of a negotiation.
Spence clarifies how there was a designated use for Hillside, but no zoning
and the zoning came at a later date.
Gillette asks exactly what the application is now.
Spence clarifies and says changing the HR district would be another, longer
process. There is a general discussion among commissioners and staff on
how this application could be sufficed without a plat and if amending the
zoning district would be more appropriate.
The discussion turns to the allotted amount of GRFA and if it is warranted.
W hat has changed since the original approval and does that support the
request?
Gillette explains how he sees this as correcting a mistake that was done in
the plat.
Seibert says that the reason for restricting GRFA is to limit visibility and that
has not changed. They still have a prominent location and adding to that
could undo the reason for putting the restriction in place. There is concern
about where the square footage would be added.
More discussion takes place on how building envelopes or GRFA would
affect the visibility takes place amongst those present.
Kurz asks if the cap listed would hold over to buyers of those properties in
the future.
Spence clarifies with explaining the chart.
Pratt doesn’t like the disconnect but understands how the caps could be a
problem in the future. He doesn’t see how language could be written that
wouldn’t be arbitrary.
David Kaselak, representative of the applicant, answers some questions on
October 20, 2020 - Page 73 of 113
visibility, and how a plat note would negate any future legal issues.
Spence asks for additional feedback on materials needed and if there are
any more comments.
Gillette still has questions on clarity of comparable areas of town. How would
this affect the area and what would additional GRFA look like.
Discussion on design and restrictions in the area takes place. Gillette asks
for a photo rendering on what the difference would look like.
Lockman adds that he’s agreed with some comments earlier on the arbitrary
numbers being proposed. I t would be appropriate to give them a
commensurate increase with GRFA that other areas enjoyed.
Kjesbo voices his support of the comments by Gillette.
Kurz adds a question on whether there is a public benefit associated with
the application?
Spence adds that there is none proposed.
There is no public comment.
Brian Gillette moved to table to October 26, 2020. Pete Seibert seconded
the motion and it passed (7-0).

1. Approval of minutes from August 3 meeting.
2. No citizen input.
3. Marriott Residence Inn - Public Art Proposal Attached
Bradon Welker & Brett Welker – Sunridge Hotel Group
• The property is working with realist wildlife sculptor Stephen LeBlanc who will be creating a majestic
bronze elk sculpture. It will create a sense of connection to where the guests are and beautify the
entrance to the property.
• Artist is well established and has two works presently in Vail on public view.
• The elk will be 8 ½ feet tall x 8 feet wide. They will be constructing a custom pedestal with landscaping
and lighting.
• It will have a visible location at the entrance near the monument sign of the property.
• First edition of seven.
• The work will cost @ $50,000 with $20,000 towards installation, site work and lighting.
• They have been advised on a maintenance plan recommended by the artist. They review the timeline
for the project, hoping for a completion in winter 2022.
• Kathy confirms that $70,000 is the total requirement. The budget for the sculpture is $50,000 with the
$20,000 be for the site-work for the installation. She comments that they have met the criteria for
quality, siting, maintenance for the public art.
• Tracy motions that the Marriott Residence has met the criteria for the public art included in their
development project. Susanne seconds and the board approves. The board compliments the
presentation and thanks them for joining the meeting today.
4. Altus Development Project - Public Art Proposal. Postponed to October meeting.
5. Todd Winslow Pierce – photographer www.toddwinslowpierce.com. Presentation Attached.
• Todd introduces the mission of Eagle Valley Wild, the non-profit endeavor he started which provides
organizations with high quality visuals of the valley’s open land and wildlife free of charge. EVW also
has an education component aimed to raise awareness of the intertwined environmental issues, land
use, and migration corridors in our valley.
• They would like to propose public outdoor exhibits of the images with informative captions on the
panels to enlighten locals and guests. www.eaglevalleywild.org
• Todd reviews the presentation as attached.
October 20, 2020 - Page 76 of 113
• They would be prepared to install the project next summer which would be able to be on view for
several years perhaps traveling to other locations. Ultimately the project would culminate in a hardcover
book.
• Todd grew up in Vail and has been a professional landscape photographer since 2000. He began
focusing on conservation photography several years ago.
• Molly comments that it may be more impactful to expand a potential project beyond Ford Park given
many of our guests do not make it beyond the villages.
• Susanne remarks on the educational outreach and corporate social responsibility. He says that the
businesses they are looking at now are local and their missions align with responsible growth of the
valley. She comments that the most impactful changes to protect the environment may be the smaller
personal actions taken by the individual.
• Courtney compliments the project. She emphasizes that the direct outreach to the local schools would
be impactful for his messaging. They confirm they plan to have presentations to the local schools and
CMC. They may also look at working with local interns.
• Today Todd would like feedback and to start the dialogue with the Board about the possibility of it
coming to fruition.
• They have reached out to the Town’s Environmental Sustainability as well.
• He comments that they are looking for the support from the following fields: resort, hospitality,
construction, real estate/development to represent the community in an economic sense.
• The Board compliments and thanks Todd for his presentation today. The Board will brainstorm on the
project and return with feedback.
6. Vail Winterfest & Lantern Walk discussion.
Vail Winterfest Ice Installation
• AIPP is funded to have an ice installation. We are planning to open the illuminated ice installation along
the Gore Creek Promenade on Sunday, December 20th.
• The Board would like to invite Paul Wertin to present concepts in the coming months. Paul integrates
light into the ice sculptures which is integral to the installation.
• The Board plans to utilize the entire promenade area to the International Bridge versus creating a
centralized gathering space in the open area by Mountain Standard. We have done this in the past and
it creates more of a wandering experience versus a congested singular installation space.
Lantern Making and Display
• The Board is looking at ways to reimagine this popular tradition for both guests and residents, as the
Board does not want to host in person workshops, nor a physical walk.
• The Board would like to have an instruction video available via Alpine Arts for people to watch at their
leisure. We will provide lanterns and lights (other materials to be decided) for people to collect via a
registration process. There will be instructions for making lanterns with the kits.
• Susanne will plan to have lantern making with her students even if they turn remote.
• Lantern making to take place entire week of Christmas at the participants leisure.
• Molly has discussed how to reimagine the lantern walk with Doe Browning who has sponsored the
project for many years. There are concerns for any gatherings during an already busy time of year.
Possibilities may be for guests to display their lanterns in designated locations on their own.
• The Board brainstorms ways to decorate areas near the International Bridge with lanterns – both from
guests, nice quality purchased lanterns, and basic decoration. Lanterns may be hung from some
nearby and accessible trees near the planter beds on the bridge, as well as on shepherd hooks in the
planters.
• In the kits we will invite guests to display their lanterns, take a photo, and share with a particular
#hastag…
• One concept is for AIPP to display the lanterns in these specified areas and for the guests try to locate
their lantern.
• Susanne mentions that she can create lanterns for display. It will be an important message for the
celebration of light and bringing a community together in some type of way.
October 20, 2020 - Page 77 of 113
• We are also exploring a festive lighting display on the International Bridge itself.
• Tracy comments it will be nice to allow people to publicly display their lanterns for all to enjoy. Kara
remarks that we should probably not touch individual’s lanterns and rather let them display in the
designated areas.
• Kathy suggests we should separate the ice on the promenade from the lanterns on the International
Bridge to distance people.
• While Molly received good feedback regarding the additional lighting last year, it was costly, so we may
want to put those monies towards additional lighting effects/decorations for the Bridge. We may want to
also put monies towards more ice given the greater amount of space.
• Molly will go back to Doe with the Board’s discussion today reimaging and sustaining the lantern
making and walk.
7. Coordinator updates.
• Vail Public Library will go before DRB for the Story Walk installation
• Kathy and Tracy comment now that the north wall is complete in the VV structure by Jason Graves and
Remington Robinson, the entrance feels much brighter. Kathy comments it was a worthwhile project for
AIPP. Jason is sending more samples for possible custom facemasks.
• AIPP should look to completing the art installations at the Clubhouse before the end of 2020. Courtney
asks if the art can be placed outside. The Board may be interested in looking at some of those possible
areas by the terrace for art. Kathy comments that perhaps something affixed to the exterior walls may
be suitable. Susanne comments about an artist she saw in Alamosa who creates outdoor mosaic
sculptures. She will send the information to Board to discuss at our next meeting.
• Molly has submitted an information memo to council regarding the recommendations for relocating the
Seibert Sculpture. She informs the Board that the Gore Creek Promenade location has become
increasingly busy. There are multiple benches, picnic tables, clothes racks, bike racks, outdoor dining
with the Left Bank. She must discuss the work on her art walks at a distance because it is too
congested to bring the group in front of the work.
• Molly has received positive feedback about the potential relocation of the snowball fight just further east
to its present location. The figures would have more of a dialogue placed across the bike path.
• Molly asks for the Board’s feedback regarding putting monies towards maintaining the Lionshead
murals by Randy Milhoan. Molly comments that perhaps we maintain the first two levels (1 & 2) versus
the upper levels green and blue (3 & 4) which are more exposed. Kathy comments that the lower levels
are not in terrible condition. She does not think we should put funds towards it at this time. Kara agrees.
Molly comments the location of these exterior walls on the east side get leakage and damage from the
elements. She would not recommend putting new murals on these walls. Milhoan’s mural s have been
in the structure since 1994.
• CRUSH WALLS – Rino Denver – Molly recommends that Board members should try to visit the festival
if they are in Denver.
• Kathy comments that she is still getting great feedback on the Ladies Fancywork installation at the
library. She would like to see how it looks with snow and does not recommend removing it anytime
soon.
• Kathy comments that the storage of the Eagle Valley Wild frames may be an issue if he needs the town
to do so. The Board would like better clarity at what the artist is looking for from AIPP. Molly comments
that at this stage it would be for supporting a display in Vail and allowing that accessibility for the
exhibit. Kathy would want clarity from the Town on endorsing personal projects.
8. Other matters from the Board.

About the Artist -
Stephen Leblanc
Stephen LeBlanc has been a professional sculptor for over 40
years. Being an avid outdoorsman, his specialty is realistic
wildlife. Whether it is a ram on a lofty mountain peak in the
Arctic Wildlife Refuge, or a pair of stingrays gracefully skating
along the ocean floor in Jamaica, Stephen has been there to
experience the sight. His greatest pleasure is to sculpt
particular animals and events he has witnessed in nature,
throughout the world. Although Stephen's passion for wildlife
is evident in his animal sculptures, he isn't limited in talent
when it comes to figurative works. He has been accepted for
many figurative and memorial works of people who have
positively influenced societies past and present. Stephen
resides in Parker, CO and has been displayed in galleries
throughout Vail for the last 30 years.

October 20, 2020 - Page 85 of 113
Residence Inn by Marriott, Vail
Sunridge Hotel Group will be pleased to commission this 1st Edition Sculpture as part of the Residence
Inn by Marriott project and as a public art contribution. The Residence Inn will be a 4-story hotel with
146 guest rooms, 5 community housing units, and designed with a mountain modern style. The exterior
façade will largely be made up of stone, wood, and metal materials which will blend well with natural
elements that can be found in Vail.
We believe that portraying wildlife through this sculpture will serve as a beautiful accent to the hotel’s
design and as a symbol of the local environment. This public art installation will create a memorable
landmark and experience, not just for hotel guests, but to the community and all who will see it along
Frontage Road or the walkways in front of the hotel. Sunridge chose an Elk for this freestanding wildlife
sculpture, because they are truly magnificent creatures and are breathtaking to behold in the wild. We
envision that this 1.25x life-size version of the Elk, sculpted with the experience and realism that
Stephen LeBlanc brings, will create a similar memorable experience for all who are passing through
West Vail.

PRIMARY MISSIONS
PROVISION OF FREE VISUAL ASSETS
The EVW Project produces professional quality images and
video content specifically for conservation-related
organizations, free of charge.
Providing these organizations with more powerful visual assets
amplifies their missions, enhances their marketing materials,
leverages fundraising efforts and helps illustrate specific stories
that need to be told in impactful ways.
Furthermore, the collection of wildlife images, especially through
remote technologies, serves as a valuable tool for wildlife
monitoring and research.
Visual assets are provided at no cost to qualifying
organizations that need high-quality imagery for elevating their
marketing and for visual representation of specific behind-the-
scenes stories and campaigns.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Along with visual assets for local conservation organizations,
EVW hopes to deliver its visual storytelling campaign directly to the
community in order to educate, inspire and garner more support
of conservation related efforts & initiatives.
SOCIAL MEDIA (i.e. Instagram)
PRESENTATIONS (i.e. Vail Symposium, Eagle County Schools,
Walking Mountains Science Center)
OUTDOOR EXHIBITS
Displayed in public spaces such as parks, plazas and walkways,
the outdoor exhibits would consist of 12-20 large format prints
mounted to free standing panels that include informative &
educational captions.
HEALTHCARE
A top goal of the EVW project is to introduce live streaming nest
cams, tranquil nature videos and fine prints into the healthcare
environment, including lobbies, waiting rooms and patient rooms.
EAGLE VALLEY WILD BOOK
The EVW project will culminate in a coffee table book that will not
only be a celebration of the natural beauty and wildness of our
area, but also encapsulate the story and history of land use and
conservation in the Gore and Eagle River Valleys.
Eagle Valley Wild (EVW) uses the power of visual storytelling to reveal
and celebrate the beauty and value of our land, water and wildlife, while
also documenting related environmental issues, stories and challenges.

ELK HERD BENEATH GYPSUM HILLS, BRUSH CREEK VALLEY RANCH NEAR EAGLE, COLORADO
Each spring, hundreds of elk gather on ranch pastures west of Vail to begin feeding on the first green foliage
that appears after a long winter. Open lands and ranches in the valley floor serve as vital habitat and migration
corridors particularly in winter when higher elevations are laden with deep snow. The size of this herd, nearly
250 in total, belies the tragic decline in the local elk population over the last decade. The loss and
fragmentation of permanent and seasonal habitats, interruption of migration corridors and significant increase
in recreational disturbances have combined into a perfect storm of wildlife population decline. Tracts of land
such as Brush Creek Valley Ranch south of Eagle, preserved through collaborative efforts between Eagle
County and Eagle Valley Land Trust, have proven vital in the preservation of wildlife.

ICEFALL REMNANT, EAST VAIL AMPHITHEATER
Each winter, waterfalls along the north facing slopes east of Vail begin to freeze into columns of solid ice.
Many of the icefalls become some of the most challenging ice climbing routes in the state, including this one
known as “The Fang”. Each spring, these towering columns of ice begin to melt gradually in rising
temperatures or fall apart more dramatically under the force of gravity. Here, melt water sculpts a 25-foot
remnant of ice, beginning its long journey into Gore Creek, the Eagle River, then on to the Colorado River.
This water not only feeds our local communities, but also countless others along its epic route into the arid
Southwest where it may be used for agriculture, recreation, in households and hydroelectricity generation.

NOTES
AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE
Our goal is to make an impact with locals and visitors alike.
With locals, we plan to not just celebrate the extraordinary value of
our land, water and wildlife, but also enlighten them with new,
informative perspectives that garner more support for
conservation-related efforts and initiatives.
With our visitors, we plan to show our appreciation and pride for
our local environment, reveal largely unknown aspects of our rich
natural heritage and inspire more widespread appreciation for the
natural world.
EXHIBIT TIMING & DURATION
Prime locations for the exhibit are most appropriate for June
through September, especially during Bravo and Vail Dance
Festival at GRFA. However, the exhibit can be moved to another
location during the winter season.
Ideally, the exhibit would last through the duration of the EVW
project (2025). After that, the frames and mounts can be used for
other 2-D art exhibits.
SCALE AND SCOPE
The exhibit can be expanded in subsequent seasons, both in
quantity and locations. In addition, images can be changed
annually, resulting in a new viewer experience year after year.
Through careful design and planning, the exhibit can also be
moved in part or in whole to other locations over time.
THANK YOU!

II. BACKGROUND
The Trailblazer Award was created as a legacy project when the Town of Vail was preparing to
celebrate its 50th birthday on August 23, 2016. A Town Council committee was formed to
develop the idea and select the first recipient of the award. Recipients have included Dr.
Thomas Steinberg (2016), Vi and Byron Brown (2017), Sheika and Pepi Gramshammer (2018),
Glenn Porzak (2019), and Joseph Staufer (2020).
The Vail Trailblazer Award is presented to recognize an individual, couple or team that
exemplifies the spirit and fortitude in making Vail a great community through one or more
actions that make a lasting impact. Recipients will be recognized for their pioneering
contributions of time and talent, courage, leadership, vision and commitment in their endeavor
to enhance Vail’s social, recreational, cultural, educational and environmental values that
define the community.
