The applicant shall submit a response to the public comment letter disputing the findings of the parking study with the Design Review Board Submittal. This item was heard concurrently with item 2.2. Planner Roy introduced the project by describing the previous meetings held for this proposal. He described the development standards for the lot and what standards are set by the PEC. Lot size is not proposed to change, setbacks are compliant, and the height is now 80 ft. He also described the snow storage proposed and showed a landscaping plan with a new walkway and plantings. He highlighted changes to the parking area. He also showed the building elevations. He briefly discussed the review criteria for the development plan and variance. He stated that the proposals were generally compliant with some staff recommended conditions. Commissioner Pratt: Asked a question about snow storage and Fire access. Roy: Stated that Fire had reviewed and not commented on it. Pratt: Asked about snow storage that was shown on top of 5ft retaining walls. Roy: Stated that this was a part of one of the conditions of approval that the applicant will need to have a snow storage plan before building permit issuance. Chairman Kurz: Asked a question about the amount of parking proposed Michael O'Conner: Stated that parking at the neighboring middle creek development was developed under an older code and that many spaces in the development are unused most times of the year. He also stated that the mobility plan will address parking needs of the development as they arrive. Will Hentschel: Presented the current architectural proposal for the project and detailed the changes made since the last meeting. These included some roof changes to reduce scale, added more darker siding, added some windows, and raised the solar panels on the roof. Kurz: Stated that he appreciated the efforts made to reduce the bulk and mass. Commissioner Gillette: Stated that the mobility plan is a way to demonstrate that parking does not need to meet the existing code requirement, not that the code is old and outdated. Gillette asked about the number of bike racks and how many residents are in the building. O'Conner: Stated that there were over 40 bike storage or lock up spots. Also stated that the parking proposed was in line with other projects in the town. Foster: Stated that there are 130 bedrooms Gillette: Asked about having 130 bedrooms and only 40 or so bike spots. Also drew attention to the removal of a car sharing system. Feels like the mobility plan has gone backwards and has concerns about it addressing needs. O'Conner: Drew attention to other developments that were not parked to the strict code requirement. Doesn't feel that it is fair to compare this development to one that was required to include the maximum parking requirement. Gillette: Says that he needs the mobility plan to address the reduction in parking, not that parking has to meet the strict code requirement, and he has concerns that the plan can do this. Foster: Stated that much of the bike storage had been moved internally to the building with elevator access. Gillette: Asked about the removal of rideshare Commissioner Perez: Stated that the applicant did add guest parking as was requested by the PEC earlier. Stated that the applicant had also provided a comparison of the parking per unit at this development with other developments like Solar Vail. O'Conner: Stated that the ride share is not commercially viable at this point. If a ride sharing business pops up in the area that it will be considered for this development. Commissioner Phillips: Stated that the applicant has provided at least one spot per unit and that it is common in this town for people to walk and bike to work, especially for a development so close to the Village. Gillette: Asked about what is new with this proposal that can address the lack of multi -parking for units. Perez: Pointed out that many developments on consistent bus routes have comparable parking per unit and is less concerned about the parking proposed. Has some concern about how the guest parking reduces this to less than one spot per unit. Pratt: Stated that the issue with the neighboring property's parking is that this applicant ran a parking study on that development and a manager of that development wrote a letter disputing the study's finding. That dispute needs to be addressed directly. Does feel that the proposed parking does meet the need for this development proposal. Kurz: Agrees with the arguments about the proximity of this development to the town core and bus routes makes the proposed parking reasonable. Also wants the dispute with the middle creek parking study addressed. Pratt: Appreciates the changes made to the proposal. Concerned still with the snow storage. Gillette: Wants the applicant to tweak the detailing and massing of the building a little more still. Thinks that enhancing the detailing or stepping the building back could be addressed. Pointed out that First Chair addresses deed restricted goals of the town and meets the town's aesthetic quality. Kurz: Stated that the improving the architectural appearance would be encouraged, but not at the expense of losing these deed restrictions. Phillips: Asked how much the PEC should be weighing in on the architecture when the town has the DRB. Pratt: Stated that it was still within the PEC's purview to address bulk and mass. The cost of more architecture work will go straight to the rent, so there is a balance to be struck. Gillette: Talked about how the massing still needs more work and that they shouldn't just kick this concern down the road to the DRB. Phillips: Respectfully disagreed and stated that the architecture was meeting the needs for this housing use. Commissioner Kjesbo: Is in favor of the project and agrees that the architecture work needs to be balanced with the cost of these deed restricted units. Thinks that parking should be maximized as possible but recognizes that the parking management plan will be an evolving document. Roy: Stated that a condition could be made that a response to the parking study discrepancy is required before DRB review or similar. No public comment. Community Development Director Gennett: Asked for clarification on the added condition of approval. Pratt: Stated that he just wanted a written response or updated to the parking study from the applicant addressing the letter. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Karen Perez seconded the motion and it passed (5-1). Ayes: (5) Kjesbo, Kurz, Perez, Phillips, Pratt Nays: (1) Gillette Absent: (1) Seibert 2.2. A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17-1, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for development in the Housing Zoning District on a slope of forty percent (40%) or greater, located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0016) This item will be heard with PEC21-0015. All plans associated with this application are included as part of PEC21-0015. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy See minutes for item 2.1. Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (6-0). Absent: (1) Seibert 3. 1 nformational Update 3.1. West Vail Master Plan Update Applicant: Planner: Matt Gennett Development Director, Matt Gennett, introduces the consultant team for the project. Gabby Voeller with SE Group introduces the individuals and starts the presentation. The consultants are looking for critical feedback from the PEC and clarifying any confusing portions of the plan. Cheney goes over the "West Vail Center" stretching from the roundabout to Vail Commons/city market. This was a focus area of the study, Consultant team has reached out to private property owners. This is a masterplan that has to take private property into account as there is no vacant land likely to be developed. This area, while good for redevelopment, is a very important 60 min. center for daily life of residents Brian Duffany of EPS goes over the market opportunities and the focus of this area as the heart of the Vail daily life. Commercial area in Vail and in the surrounding valley is limited and tough to find places to expand. Retail sales and rents are strong in the area. The vision statement for the area is read followed by the summary of the goals. The framework for the plan is explained about how the goals and design for the area would all have to fit within the parameters of this framework. Public gathering spaces with convenient parking is a must. Scenario 1 is explained, which involves keeping existing structures in place but beautifying the area and adding housing. It adds about 12,OOOSF of commercial and 24 units of housing. Scenario 2 looks at the area to redevelop on a parcel by parcel basis with the Town -owned land at City Market being the catalyst project. This site would be a grocery store with a multi-level parking area that would help to serve the other parcels for parking needs. This would add 201,000 SF of commercial and 350 units of housing. The phasing of this scenario would start with the town -owned parcel to provide the parking for other phases and the rest would fill in from there. Scenario 3 would look at a complete redo of the area with a master developer to assemble all of the properties. This scenario contemplates 185,000 SF of commercial and 475 units of residential that could be added. Pros and Cons of each scenario are explained and discussed. It will require a lot of buy in from property owners and adjusting Town code to accommodate the visions. A new zoning district would be required for this that could be called "West Vail Mixed Use". Consultants go over what would have to be included in that zone district. Ellie Wachtel goes over some of the housing elements in West Vail. A lot of non -conformities, existing housing stock, opportunity in west vail center, the market forces in the area, and the benefits of resident housing. The vision statement for housing is shown and the goals are read. There are four main zoning recommendations, either rezoning existing zones or adding a new zone district. One recommendation is that the number of units that currently exist on a lot be allowed in perpetuity. Supporting higher density in the area is another recommendation. This plan includes density bonuses over the study area. The vision statement for Transportation and mobility is read. Multimodal and making trips to comfortable and convenient is key. Comfortable sized bike lanes, comfortable walking along the frontage road, efficient paring and driving technologies, and a look at programs and policies along transportation. Traffic calming could be done in the area by painting a 4 foot shoulder instead of sidewalks. Pedestrian scaled lighting could add to that feel. Access and crossing enhancements could help to solve some of the traffic issues that exist today. The transportation programs and policies to introduce or continue are given. Gillette asks where the highline and MRI development are in permitting process. He also wants to know if we've been in touch with the property owners. Brian Duffany says that they started with getting the community feel. The town owns the city market lot and has certainly been involved in the project while safeway is owned by a hedgefund. To try to accommodate individual property owners in the plan is difficult and pits owners against each other. We will be involving them when the plan is complete. The HOA for Vail Das Schone in the area were overall excited and positive. Perez understands that it is hard to involve two grocery stores, but that we need two in the area. Gillette agrees, that we need would need two in the area. Cheney goes over how the program would be for a 70,OOOsf grocery store which is almost as large as the two existing combined. Could there be some other grocery store added in town outside of West Vail? Trying to be more visionary in the use of the land rather than sticking with what we've had. Gillette adds that East Vail would love a grocery store if we could have one there. The convenience of West Vail is big for everyone in Vail and should keep that sense there. No one will want to drive down valley to find another grocery store. Brian adds that the feedback they've heard from the community has been all over the board on both sides. That they need both or that they are both underperforming and one that is more productive would be better. That has been community -wide and people in the area had the same varying views. Kurz asks if there are online plans that the public can view such as the PEC is seeing today. Gabby Voeller says that it will go back to the stakeholder committee and after that the draft plan will be available online. Gennett says that the online portal has been up to date and keeping people informed. Gillette asks for examples of other towns that have done this scale of development. Some examples are given. Kurz asks about TI F for financing. Duffany says that would be farther down the road. Pratt likes the concept overall. He is not a fan of the high buildings along the frontage road. Did not like the option that showed all the parking on one end of the site. Gillette add on the rezoning in west vail and how he is unsure how that would go without further exploration. Public Comment is opened. Dominic Mauriello of Mauriello Planning Group makes a couple points. He thinks there should be a mention of parking underneath the frontage road. Its important for the Town to look at the parking requirements town -wide. The idea of making existing density grandfathered in should include amnesty for units that were created without proper permits. Scenarios are great. Steve Lindstrom participated as part of the local stakeholder group. He didn't hear about PEC comments on the possible additional housing density. He'd be interested to hear the thoughts on that. Kurz says he needs to wrap his head around it before giving comments. Gillette adds the same. Galen Aasland was a previous PEC member. He lives in West Vail and is concerned with land costs. Parking costs are going to be huge. Look at Chamonix Chalets with increased density and how the increased height would affect those behind it. Gillette adds that it is tough to add density against someone's home. Would guess neighbors would be opposed. Having a hard time visioning how that would work. The team adds that the increased density is more of a reflection of the units that exist today. Not a huge increase that would be realized right away, but the ability of those to redevelop overtime. 3.2. Oversize Vehicle Relocation 30 min Applicant: Planner: Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer Kassmel starts with the history of this discussion with the Children's Garden of Learning relocation. It was approved to relocated with the condition that the applicant come back with a relocation plan for the oversized vehicle parking that will be displaced. West Vail residents felt that this was one more item that was pushed down to their location and were unfavorable to the relocation to the frontage road. Staff has since looked at alternatives and brought to the Commission some of those options. First option was to go to West Vail further to the West of the Fire Station over there. Very concealed from a good portion of the residents and at the end of the road where an expanded shoulder exists. Second option is to accommodate parking between Solar Vail and Middle Creek. This would require some earth moving and relocating the sidewalk to allow for room to park. Third option would be to allow parking to the north of the Vail Resorts maintenance yard. This would be for about 100 cars and some of the oversized vehicles. It would be at a significant more cost, but is on a bus route that could provide access to the villages. Other locations that are less likely were gone through that did not make the top selection. Moving forward meetings are planned to go over the options. This will go on over the summer and into the fall the budgeting would happen with hopeful design over winter with construction next year. Gillette likes the parking north of the maintenance lot and by solar vail. Kurz asks if we will need 11 spaces this year and winter for the interim. Kassmel says that they will go to West Vail over the summer to the east of the bus shelter and during the winter it will be to the west of fire station. Gillette and Phillips believe that consistency would be better than switching between the two different areas. Kurz asks that the obligation that we have to accommodate oversized vehicles beyond just customer service? Kassmel says that it is just to welcome all guests, and would require a change in policy to not make those spaces available. Those spaces are also used for large vehicles that come with special events. No public comment. 4. Approval of Minutes 4.1. April 26, 2021 PEC Results Reid Phillips moved to approve with corrections.

BACKGROUND The subject property is a 2.1 -acre Town -owned parcel located just east of the Middle Creek Apartments development on the site of the current Children's Garden of Learning. The property is adjacent to the Middle Creek Apartments and is in close proximity to the Vail Town Center 1-70 exit (Exit 176). The parcel was previously part of the larger Lot 1 of the Middle Creek Subdivision and was created as a separate parcel in May of 2020. The Middle Creek Apartments were developed in the early 2000's with the process starting in 2001 and ending with an eventual approval in September of 2002. During this time, multiple work sessions and public hearings were held with the Design Review Board, Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council resulting in significant revisions. The site went under construction after approval in 2002 and received a certificate of occupancy in 2004. The current occupant and use of the property, the Children's Garden of Learning, has received approval for a temporary relocation to the Charter Bus Lot. A comparison of the existing Middle Creek development with the proposal is provided below along with a comparison of parking rates among other Housing developments: Middle Creek Village(existing) Unit Count Lot 3 (proposed) Unit Count Parking Rate (per multi -family unit) Parking Rate (per bedroom Studio 44 0 One -Bedroom 29 14 Two Bedroom 24 58 Three Bedroom 45 0 Total 142 72 Bedroom Count 1.35 0.78 Beds 256 130 Parkin 0.82 0.24 Total 248 80 Enclosed 211 85% 0 Ratio 1.75/Unit 1.11 /Unit 29 1.21 1.21 Recreation Area 4,250 SF 16.6SF/Bed 968 SF 7.4SF/Bed Use Type Unit Count Bedroom Count Parking Provided Parking Rate (per multi -family unit) Parking Rate (per bedroom Solar Vail 65 69 34 0.52 0.49 First Chair 32 124 32 1.0 0.26 Lions Ride 113 197 153 1.35 0.78 Timber Ride 94 188 46 0.82 0.24 Middle Creek 142 254 247 1.74 0.97 Buzzard Park 24 24 29 1.21 1.21 Chamonix Townh 32 86 113 3.5 1.31 Booth Heights 130 184 160 12.0 10.71 Lot 3 (proposedl (proposed 72 1130 180 11.11 10.62 IV.

Housing (H) Zone District Development Plan Process The Housing (H) Zone District provides the Planning and Environmental Commission's (PEC) with discretion to determine and establish the appropriate development standards for a Development Plan. These include, Height, Density, Lot Area and Site Dimensions. These are proposed by the applicant and reviewed by the PEC as part of the Development Plan. Staff has determined that the following provisions of the Town's Comprehensive Plan are relevant to the review of this proposal. These documents identify the policy goals of the community and should be weighed against the proposed Development Plan to determine if the Plan is helping to advance the community's priorities.

Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail; a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government. VAIL LAND USE PLAN CHAPTER 11— LAND USE PLAN GOALS / POLICIES.- The OLICIES: The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as expressed through the series of public meetings that were held throughout the project. A set of initial goals were developed which were then substantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out in the second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a general consensus once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goal statements were then revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council and now represent policy guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goal statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan map, in the evaluation of any development proposal. The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan are as follows: 1. General Growth / Development 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.3. The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible. 1.6. Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valley floor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment. 1.10 Development of Town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public use. 1.12. Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5. Residential 5.1. Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. 5.3. Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 5.4. Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. V.

REVIEW CRITERIA Development Plan The following criteria shall be used as the principal means for evaluating a proposed development plan. It shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development plan complies with all applicable design criteria.- A. riteria: A. Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and the surrounding neighborhood. The Lot 3 building is proposed in a similar location as the existing building on the site and takes advantage of the existing entrance and parking area grade. Due to the topography of the site this is the most reasonable location where the building can be developed. The site is restricted by steep slopes to the north for which a variance is also proposed to disturb a portion of those slopes. The site is designed to maximize solar exposure to the driveway and outdoor parking area on the south side of the building. The building is 80' tall, but the slope at the rear of the building should soften the height by providing a backdrop. The added height will have no negative impacts on the adjacent open space. Allowing a portion of the rear of the building to encroach onto previously disturbed slopes greater than 40% will allow for development of this lot in an appropriate manner. Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this criterion. B. Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. The building, improvements, uses and activities have been designed and located on the site to be functional and responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and the community as a whole. The Lot 3 property is zoned Housing (H) district. The proposed use of the site, with 100% of the residential units developed as deed restricted housing, is consistent with the intended use of the site and the development objectives of the Town of Vail. The provision of EHUs is further supported by numerous community policies, plans and goals. The building is designed to respond to the limitations of the site and to use the site as efficiently as possible. A portion of the building footprint is on the flatter portion of the site, while the rest of the building footprint (9,215 SF out of 15,779 SF) is located in steep slopes. A variance to allow this intrusion is being reviewed concurrently. The proposed site plan will help to reduce site grading by utilizing the existing driveway and parking area grade. The driveway is proposed to be used in its existing condition. Staff finds the proposed development plan, as conditioned, meets this criterion. C. Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and, when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. Functional open space on the property is limited due to the steep slope at the rear of the building. While this area will remain open, it is too steep to be used for recreational purposes. Because the adjacent property to the east and north is open space, there will be adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties. The proposed landscape plan is limited based on the reduced setbacks, and the Town's Fire -Resistant Landscaping Guidelines, which recommend keeping trees at least 15' from buildings. Landscaping is proposed on the eastern and western boundaries of the site which will aid in screen the property from adjacent properties. There is also screening proposed in the CDOT right-of-way to screen the parking area from the frontage road. As a condition of approval, the applicant will have to receive permission from CDOT for this landscaping prior to building permit issuance. Staff finds the proposed development plan, as conditioned, meets this criterion. D. A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system is designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. A pedestrian circulation system has been designed into the site plan, which includes a sidewalk down to the frontage road sidewalk that connects to the bust stop at Middle Creek Village. There is also a path down the sidewalk to the east leading to the main Vail roundabout and Vail Village. These sidewalks will provide for safe pedestrian connections to the existing sidewalk along the N. Frontage Road. Vehicular access is proposed in the same location in the existing driveway, at the southwest corner of the property. The internal circulation lanes meet the minimum for a parking area according to Section 14-5-1. Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this criterion. E. Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. No significant environmental impacts were identified on the property as a result of the applicant's proposal. The need for an environmental impact report was waived due to the existence of the Middle Creek Village EIR which included this area of development. The Community Development Department does not believe that an environmental impact report is necessary for this application. Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this criterion. F. Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans. The Lot 3 Development Plan is in compliance with the Vail Comprehensive Plan and advances the employee housing goals objectives of the Town. The development of employee housing units is supported by the Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan, the Town of Vail Economic Development Plan, and the Environmental Strategic Plan, and furthers the actions/strategies outlined with the Vail 20/20 Strategic Plan. The proposed development of deed restricted EHUs will help advance the Town's goals of obtaining 1,000 new employee housing deed restrictions over the next 10 years. By developing more EHUs within Town, total vehicle miles traveled from workers commuting into Vail can be reduced, helping to reduce the Town's greenhouse gas emissions. This development will upgrade the existing employee housing base. Also, this infill project will allow the community to grow in a controlled environment in an existing developed area. Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this criterion. Variance Factors Enumerated: Before acting on a variance application, the planning and environmental commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance.- 1. ariance: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Staff finds this proposal will not negatively affect the other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity in comparison to existing conditions. The portion of the site that is over 40% slope is at the rear of the building, and it will have no impacts to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The hillside will be revegetated with natural grasses to appear similar to its current condition. Staff finds the proposed variance meets this criterion. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. Staff finds the proposed relief from the steep slope regulations is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity and to attain the objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Similar sites, including Solar Vail, were regraded to allow for intrusion into steep slopes so this request does not qualify as a grand of special privilege. Staff finds the proposed development plan meets this criterion. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The granting of a variance will have no impact on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities. There is no anticipated impact to public safety as a result of this small amount of development on steep slopes. A site-specific geologic investigation and report has been submitted which does not include findings of any impact to public safety. 4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance. VIII.

Triumph Development and the Town of Vail have signed a Development Agreement forming a public -private -partnership to redevelop the 2.1 -acre parcel that is currently zoned to the Housing (H) District. The parcel was recently subdivided from the neighboring Middle Creek Apartment parcel. This application proposes to redevelop the site into a new apartment community that will add to the availability of deed -restricted, resident -occupied homes in Vail. The proposed plan includes 72 rental apartments including 58 two-bedroom and 14 one -bedroom homes, and 55 parking spaces. The homes will be deed -restricted EHUs under the Town of Vail municipal code. In addition to the homes, the plan includes interior spaces for social gathering, laundry rooms, ground floor storage lockers, ample bike storage, and a bike cleaning and maintenance area. There will also be an outdoor passive recreation area at the rear of the new apartment building. A roof -mounted solar panel system is proposed to reduce the environmental impacts of the new building and generate on-site energy. While the applicant intends to manage the building from its current office in Vail Village, this application anticipates being able to convert one of the units into a manager's unit to include an on-site leasing and management office. This development application includes all civil drawings, architectural drawings, landscape plans, and consultant's reports required for approval by the PEC. In the Housing District, building height, density, and GRFA are proposed by the applicant and established by the Planning and Environmental Commission subject to an approved Development Plan. The applicant's request is outlined below. This application includes a Mobility Management Plan that embraces the recently adopted "Mobility" section of the Housing District regulations and supports a reduction from the standard off-street parking requirements of the Town Code. The proposed mobility plan focuses on meeting the transportation needs of the future residents, rather than looking to the more antiquated parking -per-unit approach. The proposed development plan requires one variance to construct a multiple family building on slopes greater than 40%. Existing Conditions The Residences at Main Vail 3 Middle Creek Lot 3 is a Housing District parcel that is bounded by the Middle Creek Apartments to the west, and Town of Vail property to the north and east, and the North Frontage Rd. to the south. The parcel is rectangular in shape with more than 400 feet of frontage along the North Frontage Road and varies in depth from approximately 250 feet on the east side of the parcel to more than 320 feet on the west side of the parcel adjacent to Middle Creek Apartments. The right of way in the front of the property includes a substantial cut slope and setback from the North Frontage Road that varies between 35 to 60 feet from the property line. The front portion of the site is developed as an early -childhood education facility and surface parking lot. The rear two-thirds of the site are steep slopes greater than 40% that are held back with a stepped retaining walls at north side of the parking lot. Due to the existing development and grading of the site, the southern portion of the site best accommodates future development. All required utilities are available in the adjacent right-of-way and the applicant has confirmed that each utility has adequate capacity to serve the development. There is a 20' sewer easement that is at the southwest corner of the property in the approximate vicinity of the current driveway which will remain in place with the proposed plan. There is also a drainage and utility easement along the southern boundary of the property that will remain in place. Finally, there is a platted building envelope line that runs along the north side of the existing development footprint that dates to when the Middle Creek Apartments and the Children's Garden of Learning were constructed. The building envelope line is intended to be abandoned on Lot 3 via a revised Final Plat that can be processed concurrent with this application's final approval. Zoning Analysis The Housing District is intended to provide housing development opportunities in TOV. Due to the nature and varying characteristics of deed -restricted housing, a housing -oriented zone district was specifically developed and adopted in the TOV Zoning Regulations. The stated intent of the Housing District is to ensure that deed -restricted housing is appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of Vail residents, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and to ensure adequate light, air and open spaces. The district has a limited number of prescribed requirements that are discussed below. The proposed development plan, the mobility management plan, and variance request meets or exceeds all of these prescribed requirements. Permitted. Conditional & Accessory Uses The Residences at Main Vail 4 The proposed development program is outlined in the below table and are all permitted or accessory uses in the Housing District. Units Count GRFA/Unit GRFA SF EHU 2 Bedroom/1 Bath 31 _ 837 25,947 EHU 2 Bedroom/2 Bath 27 855 23,085 EHU 1 Bedroom/1 Bath 14 616 8,624 Total 72 57,656 All homes will be deed -restricted Employee Housing Units as defined by the TOV municipal code. The outdoor passive recreation spaces at the rear of the property are also permitted uses. The community amenities such as the public gathering spaces, laundry rooms and storage areas are all Accessory Uses that are "customarily incidental and accessory" to the EHUs allowed in the Housing District. The applicant also requests the ability to convert one of the apartments into a manager's unit, subject to the applicant's discretion, that would include a leasing office at some point in the future. Setbacks The required setback in the Housing District is twenty feet (20') from the perimeter of the zone district (and as such there is no setback along the west property line as the Housing District continues onto the Middle Creek Apartment parcel). All buildings and structures proposed in the plan meet or exceed this setback requirement in all areas. The proposed approved development plan complies with the Vail Town Code. Site Coverage The Housing District allows for a maximum site coverage of 55% of the total site area. The proposed site coverage is 17,756 square feet or 19.7% of the parcel. The proposed approved development plan complies with the Vail Town Code. Landscaping and Site Development The Housing District requires at least 30% of the total site area to be landscaped. The proposed plan for The Residences includes landscape areas totaling 52,551 square feet or 58.6% of the parcel. The proposed approved development plan complies with the Vail Town Code. Snow Storage The Parking Standards of the Town Code require a minimum functional area for snow storage equaling at least 30% of the total paved area of the site for unheated drives. The site plan includes more than 5,173 square feet of usable snow storage, or 32.9% of the total paved area. The proposed approved development plan complies with the Vail Town Code. Development Standards to be Approved by PEC The Residences at Main Vail The development standards of the Housing District for lot area, site dimensions, building height, and density control shall be as proposed by the applicant and approved by the PEC based on the Criteria for Evaluation that are discussed below. Lot Area and Site Dimensions —The applicant proposed to develop a 2.1 -acre Housing Parcel as demonstrated on the site development plans. A minor subdivision application has been previously approved by TOV. Building Height—The proposed building height is 82 feet with five levels of homes above a tuck - under podium parking Density Control— The proposed density for North Main community is 72 total units and 57,656 square feet of GRFA. If one considers the EHUs as counting towards density/units per acre (in most zone districts they do not) the overall density of the site is 34.8 units per acre. By comparison, the Middle Creek at Vail Apartments is approved at 30.8 units per acre. Employee Housing Credits The applicant will seek to utilize Sections 12-23-7 and 12-24-7 of the Vail Town Code "Mitigation Bank" for deed -restricted EHUs constructed on the property. As proposed, the application will generate 57,656 square feet of transferable EHU housing credits in each of the 72 EHU units. Under the terms of the public/private partnership between TOV and the applicant, these employee housing credits shall accrue to TOV. Mobility Management Plan and Parking In November 2020, TOV adopted Ordinance No. 13, Series of 2020 which replaced the "Parking and Loading" section of the Housing District language with a more progressive "Mobility" requirement. The language of the ordinance recognizes that automobiles are no longer the primary means of transportation for some people and that proximity to mass transit, walkability, access to bicycle routes, and development plans that accommodate car -sharing and bicycles all reduce the need for onsite parking. The North Main development is a prime example of each of these mobility criteria and is an excellent candidate for the adoption of a Mobility Management Plan. Section 12-61-8 of the Town Code requires the submission of a Mobility Management Plan that will be approved by the PEC. In accordance with this section, the applicant presents the following information and Mobility Management Plan: 1. Layout of proposed covered and uncovered parking including applicable dimensions, provisions for stacked parking and compact spaces, if proposed. Architectural plan A1.00 shows the parking layout for the development with 55 total parking spaces. This includes 28 standard surface parking spaces, 17 tuck -under The Residences at Main Vail 6 standard parking spaces, 7 tuck -under compact spaces (labeled "C"), and 2 tucker -under parking spaces allocated for car sharing (labeled "Z") should a car sharing company be interested in placing cars at the site. There is also one dedicated delivery space (labeled "D") for delivery vehicles or taxis/Ubers. The applicant will make all commercially reasonable efforts to identify a company to provide a car sharing amenity for its residents. 2. Information on how proposed parking spaces will be allocated to units and if this allocation is on the form of a deed restriction. All parking spaces will be numbered and signed for assignment to specific tenants. Each parking spaces will be leased to residents as a separate fee from the lease for their residential unit on a space available basis. The added expense for a market -rate parking space will be an effective tool that attracts residents without cars and will incent applicants to not bring a car to Vail should they have one. The applicant will gather information about whether prospective tenants would like a parking space as part of the initial lease application in order to easily identify if tenants have a car and prioritize tenants who do not have a car. Leases will be explicit that, unless the tenant has a leased parking space, a car is not permitted on the premises. 3. A professionally produced parking study, unless a determination is made by the administrator that such study is unnecessary due to the scale and character of the proposal. See the "Vail Children's Garden Residential Parking Analysis — Affordable Housing Apartments" memo from McDowell Engineering, LLC, dated March 8, 2021. As described in this memo, the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Parking Generation Manual states that the average peak period parking demand for a mid -rise apartment in an urban environmental is 0.71 spaces per dwelling unit. This is slightly less than the 0.76 parking spaces proposed for The Residences at Main Vail. 4. Existence of any bike or vehicle share/shuttle program. The new apartments are conveniently located less than 400 feet, or a 20 second walk at 3 mph, from the existing Middle Creek bus stop. The plan also provides an opportunity for car -sharing vehicles in two dedicated spaces conveniently located adjacent to the building's ground -floor lobby. 5. Provide covered/protected/secured bike parking/storage The proposed development plan includes substantial covered bike parking as well as a bike cleaning/tuning area at the western portion of the ground -floor level. The Residences at Main Vail 7 6. Provisions for guest parking/management All parking spaces will be assigned to individual tenants via lease and signed to prevent unauthorized use. Fire department staging areas shall be signed and striped to prevent unlawful parking and there will be signage that explains that violating vehicles will be towed. 7. Seasonal variations in parking management plan. None. 8. Provisions for off-site vehicle storage. None. The applicant is committed to the Performance Standards, Reporting Requirements, and Enforcement Policy outlined in the Town Code for the Mobility Management Plan. Given the above response, the proposed Mobility Management Plan complies with the Vail Town Code. Compliance with the Development Plan Standards and Approval Criteria Because of the nature and characteristics of deed -restricted housing that make development difficult under prescribed development standards, the Housing District was created by TOV to provide adequate sites for deed -restricted residential development. To ensure harmonious development that is in keeping with the Town's development objectives, an applicant may propose development standards, as depicted on a Development Plan, for approval by the Town's Planning & Environmental Commission. According to Section 12-61-13 of the Zoning Regulations, it shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed development complies with the six Design Criteria discussed below. Design Criteria A - Building design with respect to architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation is compatible with the site, adjacent properties and surrounding neighborhood. Applicants Response: Due to the unique nature and challenges of building housing in TOV, the Housing District does not include traditional development limitations and offers the applicant flexibility in proposing development on designated Housing District properties. This development site - with its convenient location near the village cores, steep topography, and prominent location - needs to balance the goal of creating meaningful housing on the scarce remaining land owned by TOV and creating a development that is in scale with Vail's nearby patterns of development — namely Middle Creek at Vail Apartments, the recently The Residences at Main Vail 8 constructed Solar Vail Apartments, and the other large buildings that line the Frontage Roads on either side of 1-70. The adjacent Middle Creek development is a 142 -unit development that is sited on higher ground than Middle Creek Lot 3 and includes seven total stories of development. The Residences at Main Vail's six stories is compatible in scale and slightly smaller in total mass. There are no other immediate neighbors to the property. The Residences at Main Vail's architecture and character strives to mimic other successful employee housing developments such as First Chair. The architecture includes pitched roofs of varying heights to break up the ridge line, as well as bump -outs in the fagade with several feet of relief to create shadow lines and opportunities for balconies for many homes. The primary fagades are proposed with a mix of stucco, cementitious wood siding, and wood trim to incorporate the new fire-resistant design recommendations of the fire department, as well as long-term durability. These materials are mixed horizontally and vertically to break up the massing of the buildings, and this variation is complimented with adjustments to the size of windows. Roofs are pitched with asphalt shingles that match other Housing developments. The building is responsive to the existing topography. The building is sited above and setback substantially from the Frontage Road due to the large right-of-way in front of the property. The building is built into the hillside at a location that takes advantage of the existing excavation and retaining walls that prior development has created. The new parking lot with tuck under parking is generally in the same location as the existing parking lot and will largely be hidden from the North Frontage Road by grade and landscaping. The second level of apartments only provides a half floorplate of homes facing south with the building serving as a retaining wall for the grade behind. Above this level the building becomes a double -loaded corridor of apartments with homes on both the north and south. With architecture that borrows from Vail's architectural traditions, a material pallet that mimics or even improves upon Vail's other housing developments, massing that is to scale with the property next-door and other larger buildings that line the Frontage Roads, substantial setbacks from the street, as well as an appropriate relationship to the surrounding topography—The Residences at Main Vail development plan meets the Housing District requirements for architecture, character, scale, massing and orientation that is compatible with the site and neighborhood. Design Criteria B - Buildings, improvements, uses and activities are designed and located to produce a functional development plan responsive to the site, the surrounding neighborhood and uses, and the community as a whole. Applicant's Response: The Residences at Main Vail 9 The applicant has prepared a functional development plan for The Residences at Main Vail that balances the physical characteristics of the site, the surrounding slopes and open space, and TOV's substantial need for housing. All development has been consolidated onto the front third of the parcel. This development footprint is the portion of the site with the least amount of natural grade, thereby minimizing disturbance of the uphill natural vegetation or existing topography. Pedestrian and vehicular access onto the site will be from the west to work with natural grade and mimics the existing property entrance and parking. The proposed parking configuration, access to buildings, site amenities, and public transportation will meet ADA requirements, as well as emergency access and staging. The applicant has met with the Vail Fire Department and taken its feedback into account to accommodate requirements for fire access, staging and turnarounds for large vehicles. The functional site plan includes adequate parking for the residents and a mobility plan that includes walking proximity to Vail's village core areas, easy access to a public bus stop, and substantial storage for bikes. Retaining walls have been kept to a minimum with the building foundation serving as the primary "retaining wall" for development on the site. There are several small retaining walls at the north and west of the site to create outdoor space for the residents. The only large retaining walls are located at the eastern side of the buildings and are necessary to accommodate the requested fire department turnaround and staging areas. As Middle Creek Lot 3 is located in a rockfall hazard risk area as mapped by TOV, the applicant has hired Cesare, Inc. to prepare a Geohazards Assessment dated March 10, 2021. The conclusions of the Assessment indicate there are no substantial rockfall hazard risks. The building has an efficient and functional layout with parking and storage on the ground floor as well as a central building entry and lobby with an elevator. The apartment floors included community amenities such as indoor gathering spaces and laundry rooms in a central location near the elevator. At the third floor this indoor gathering space accesses a passive outdoor recreation area and surrounding open space at the rear of the building. The proposed plan is a functional development plan that looks to create a meaningful multifamily housing development that primarily serves the employees working in the Town of Vail. Design Criteria C - Open space and landscaping are both functional and aesthetic, are designed to preserve and enhance the natural features of the site, maximize opportunities for access and use by the public, provide adequate buffering between the proposed uses and surrounding properties, and when possible, are integrated with existing open space and recreation areas. The Residences at Main Vail 10 Applicants Response: The Proposed site plan has been prepared to preserve and enhance the substantial open space that surrounds the property. Due to the topography of the site, the development footprint has been kept to the front of the site where development has already occurred — thus preserving the vast majority of the hillside to the north in its natural state The landscaping plan provides landscape buffering along the south side of the parking lot both on the property and the right-of-way in front of the site. The applicant also intends to create a small earthen berm at the south side of the parking lot to further screen this parking from the frontage road where possible. The new building is also setback from Middle Creek apartments by more than 70 feet and will not impact most of the existing trees between the properties. While the topography of the site does not permit significant, level outdoor spaces, the plan includes one central private outdoor recreation space on the north side of the building that opens to the substantial open space and hillside to the north. The combination of preserving the significant natural landscaping on the upper two-thirds of the site, attractive manicured landscaped areas, community focused outdoor gathering and recreating areas, ensures the North Main landscape plan is both aesthetic pleasing and functionally appropriate Design Criteria D - A pedestrian and vehicular circulation system designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. Applicant Response: A safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation system that integrates with the TOV bus system is available for The Residences at Main Vail and its residents. With direct access off the North Frontage Road and immediate proximity to 1-70, The Residences will create minimal impact to the neighborhood streets. The accompanying Transportation Impact Study by McDowell Engineering, LLC demonstrates relatively light traffic with only 246 external vehicle trips over the course of an average weekday, and only 15 trips during the morning peak hour and 25 trips during the afternoon/evening peak hour. These numbers are below the amounts allowed by the current CDOT Access Permit for the existing school use. The vehicular and main pedestrian site access is from the west in the same location and configuration as the current driveway and parking lot. This location allows a gradually sloping driveway that meets the Town's design standards. Pedestrian access is proposed from the west via a five-foot, ADA compliant sidewalk that goes from the sidewalk at the driveway intersection up to a location at the center of the parking lot The Residences at Main Vail 11 and directly across from the main building entrance. This sidewalk is separated from the driveway and parking lot for pedestrian safety. The driveway and parking lot fully complies with the TOV design standards (i.e. width, drainage, site disturbance, turning movements, etc.) including emergency vehicle access. Due to the length of the driveway, the drive aisle has been oversized to 26 feet to ensure adequate circulation in the event an emergency vehicle is parked in this drive aisle. There is also a fire truck turnaround and staging area at the far east side of the site that has been designed with input from the Vail Fire Department. Proximity to the West Vail Bus Route is one of the most advantageous aspects of the Middle Creek Lot 3 parcel for resident housing. With direct access to TOV's public transit system, The Residences at Main Vail will cater to residents whose lives are Vail -centric. With all of these elements taken into account, the pedestrian and vehicular circulation system has been designed to provide safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing circulation to the site and throughout the development. Design Criteria E - Environmental impacts resulting from the proposal have been identified in the project's environmental impact report, if not waived, and all necessary mitigating measures are implemented as a part of the proposed development plan. Applicants Response: Given the sites prior development, the requirement for a new Environmental Impact Report was waived by the Community Development Director. Design Criteria F - Compliance with the Vail comprehensive plan and other applicable plans Applicants Response: The applicant has demonstrated that the proposal is consistent with the following provisions of the Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan, Vail Land Use Plan, 2009 Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan, and the Vail Housing 2027 Plan Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future — Strategic Action Plan: The Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan is a visioning document that begins with a set of values that outline what is truly important to the community. The plan then details land use and development, parks and recreation, environment, housing, transportation, economy, community and public safety topics, including specific vision statements, long-term goals, and actions and strategies over the next 5 years to achieve those goals. The Residences at Main Vail 12 LAND USE Goal #4: Provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. • Address the zoning regulations to provide more incentives for developers build employee housing units. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Goal #2: Energy Management in Buildings and Transportation: Reduce the town's 2007 baseline green house gas emissions. • Support employee housing initiatives in order to reduce trips into Vail. HOUSING Goal: The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide for enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development. • Conduct inventory of all sites with development potential and pursue opportunities for acquiring undeveloped or underdeveloped properties. • Update the Vail Land Use Plan and identify more areas for employee housing. ECONOMY Goal #3: Maintain a town -wide workforce in which at least 30 percent of people who work in Vail also live in Vail. • Support the local economy by working with the business community to address future workforce housing needs as they relate to business in Vail. Vail Land Use Plan The Land Use Plan is not intended to be regulatory in nature but is intended to provide a general framework to guide decision making. The following goals and objectives support this proposal: Chapter II - Land Use Plan Goals / Policies (in part) 1. General Growth/Development The Residences at Main Vail 13 1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor and the permanent resident. 1.2. The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources should be protected as the Town grows. 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infill areas). 5. Residential 5.3. Affordable employee housing should be made available through private efforts, assisted by limited incentives, provided by the Town of Vail, with appropriate restrictions. 5.4. Residential growth should keep pace with the market place demands for a full range of housing types. 5.5. The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded. Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites throughout the community. Vail Housing 2027 —A Strategic Plan for Maintaining and Sustaining Community through the Creation and Support of Resident Housing in Vail Ten Year Goal: "The Town of Vail will acquire 1,000 additional resident housing unit deed restrictions by the year 2027." Vision: We envision Vail as a diverse, resilient, inclusive, vibrant and sustainable mountain resort community where year-round residents are afforded the opportunity to live and thrive. We take a holistic approach to maintaining community, with continuous improvement to our social, environmental, and economic well being. We create housing solutions by recognizing and capitalizing on our unique position as North America's premier international mountain resort community in order to provide the highest quality of service to our guests, attract citizens of excellence and foster their ability to live, work, and play in Vail throughout their lives. Our strategic solutions and actions result in the retention of existing homes, creation of new and diverse housing infrastructure, and collaboration with community partners. For Vail, no problem is insurmountable. With a consistent, community -driven purpose and an entrepreneurial spirit, Vail will lead the industry in innovative housing solutions for the 21st century. The Town is well positioned financially to undertake this significant challenge. The Residences at Main Vail 14 Mission: Maintaining and Sustaining Community "We create, provide, and retain high quality, affordable, and diverse housing opportunities for Vail residents to support a sustainable year round economy and build a vibrant, inclusive and resilient community. We do this through acquiring deed restrictions on homes so that our residents have a place to live in Vail." Policy Statement - Resident Housing as Infrastructure "We acknowledge that the acquisition of deed restrictions on homes for Vail residents is critical to maintaining community. Therefore, we ensure an adequate supply and availability of homes for residents and recognize housing as infrastructure in the Town of Vail, a community support system not unlike roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, fire, police, and other services of the municipal government." 2009 Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan The purpose of this plan is to define a strategy that consists of measurable goals, objectives, and actions that will help the Town coordinate efforts to achieve the environmental vision of the community. Goal #2 — Energy Efficiency: Reduce the Town of Vail municipal and community energy use by 20% below 2006 levels by 2020, in order to effectively reduce the Town's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and impact on global climate change. Goal #3 — Ecosystem Health: Ensure that the natural environment, specifically air and water quality, water quantity, land use and habitat are maintained to current or improved levels of biological health. Goal #6 — Transportation — Reduce the environmental impact of transportation by supporting efforts within the Eagle Valley to decrease total Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) by commuters and guests by 20% by 2020. Variance Request for Development on Steep Slopes Section 12-21-10-A of the TOV Zoning Regulations states: No structure shall be built on a slope of forty percent (40%) or greater except in single- family residential, two-family residential, or two-family primary/secondary residential zone districts." The Residences at Main Vail 15 The applicant is requesting a variance from this section of the Zoning Regulations to permit building on a site with slopes greater than 40 percent. Based on Section 12-17-6 of the Zoning Regulations, the PEC is instructed to consider the following factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. Applicants Response: There is a prior history of development on both this parcel as well as the adjacent Middle Creek Apartments that also includes steep slopes greater than 40 percent. This Development Plan seeks to replicate the existing development footprint by keeping development to front portion of the site which best accommodates development. Though more cut is required, the proposed building is in the general vicinity of the current retaining walls and buildings constructed with the school. In addition, the development of the Middle Creek Apartments next-door, along with its substantial underground parking structure, established a development pattern for housing in the vicinity. In addition, the Town has granted variance approvals for similar multiple family residential developments on site with slopes in excess of 40%. Those sites included, Middle Creek at Vail Apartments, Timber Ridge Village Apartments, Solar Vail Apartments, and the Vail Mountain Chalets. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege. This variance request does not grant a special privilege as the site has been developed in the past, as has the adjacent property at Middle Creek. In addition, and in contrast to Middle Creek, this Development Plan minimizes the development footprint on areas in excess of 40% slopes only to the degree necessary by keeping development to the front of the site. In the absence of a variance request approval, the applicant is denied the same abilities to develop multiple family development previously granted to other sites in the same zone district in Vail. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. There is no negative impact of this variance on light and air as the development has no neighbors to the north and substantial setbacks from the buildings to the west. The Residences at Main Vail 16 With residential development to the west and the property zoned to the Housing District, development of the site is consistent with the existing and desired distribution of population in TOV. Traffic impact from this development is less than the currently approved Access Permit. With a bus stop within 400 feet of the site, the development will not only be walkable to the village cores, but easily utilize the existing TOV bus system. The applicant has confirmed that the required utilities are nearby and available, as are public facilities such as bike paths and safe pedestrian access to Vail's village core areas. Applicants Conclusion on the Variance: Based on the above criteria, the applicant has demonstrated that the PEC can find that: (1) The granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone district; (2) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and (3) the variance is warranted because the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district. Applicant Request of the Planning & Environmental Commission With 72 new homes, the proposed Residences at Main Vail will accomplish more than 7% of TOV's 10 -year housing goal as identified in the Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan. This infill project in a prime location strives to balance the need for substantial housing and the architectural demands of this highly visible location. In closing, the applicant believes that it has successfully demonstrated compliance with the Development Standards and Criteria for Evaluation for development in the Housing district as illustrated on the proposed plans and through our response to the six design criteria above. The applicant also believe it has met all criteria for a variance to construct buildings on a slope greater than 40%. Therefore, the applicant requests that the TOV Planning & Environmental Commission approve the development plan for The Residences at Main Vail.

The existing use is Children's Garden of Learning, a childcare facility. That facility will be removed and a new 72 -unit affordable housing facility will be constructed. The purpose of this CDOT Level 2 study is to forecast and analyze the impacts of the proposed development's traffic volumes on the surrounding roadway network. This traffic analysis was scoped with both the Town of Vail and CDOT prior to completion. The proposed site is located northwest of the Main Vail interchange on 1-70, Exit 176. The developer is proposing to continue using the existing access onto the north 1-70 Frontage Road. The project location is shown in Figure 1. A conceptual site plan is shown in Figure 2. Figure 1: Vicinity Map Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Page 4 Figure 2: Conceptual Site Plan ROOF LEVEL T' = 40'-0" _70 N Frontage Road Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Page 5 2.0 Existing Conditions 2.1 Description of Existing Transportation System 1-70 North Frontage Road: The 1-70 North Frontage Road is a two-lane, paved roadway that parallels the north side of 1-70. This frontage road connects Main Vail to West Vail. In the vicinity of the site, 1-70 North Frontage Road has posted speed limits of 25 mph eastbound and 35 mph westbound. 2.2 Traffic Data Collection Existing Traffic Volumes: Existing turning movement counts were collected by McDowell Engineering. Traffic data was collected on Tuesday, December 28, 2020. Turning movement counts were collected from 7:00 to 9:00 am and 4:00 to 6:00 pm. This count date and time are considered a seasonal peak for the Town of Vail. The raw traffic data is included in the Appendix. 3.0 Future Traffic Projections 3.1 Existing & Committed Capital Improvement Projects There are no existing or committed capital improvement projects that will impact this analysis. 3.2 Planned or Existing Land Development Projects There are no planned or existing land development projects in the immediate vicinity. 3.3 Seasonal Adjustment Factor The data collection date and times are considered a seasonal peak for the Town of Vail. Therefore, no seasonal adjustment factor is required for this analysis. 3.4 Background Traffic Growth Long-term background growth was based upon the Town of Vail's historic 1.5% annual growth rate. This is consistent with the Town's latest Vail Master Plan forecast methods. The resulting peak hour forecasted Year 2021 and forecasted Year 2041 background traffic volumes can be seen in Figure 3. Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Page 6 4.0 Project Traffic 4.1 Proposed Land Use The proposed development will include 72 affordable housing units in a single building. 4.2 Trip Generation Analysis Trip generation rates were established for affordable housing within the Town of Vail by analyzing traffic counts performed at the Timer Ridge and Lion's Ridge Apartments. See the Trip Generation for Town of Vail Affordable Housing memorandum dated January 13, 2021 in the Appendix. These rates were used to predict the traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed facility, as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Proiect Trip Generation [1] Town of Vail trip generation rates for Affordable Housing developments within the town limits 4.3 Multimodal Reduction The Town of Vail's trip generation rate includes the multimodal reduction, so no additional reduction has been applied. 4.4 Site -Generated Traffic The buildout of the site is expected to generate a total of 246 external vehicle trips over the course of an average weekday, including 15 trips during the morning peak hour and 25 trips during the afternoon/evening peak hour. 4.5 Site -Generated Directional Distribution The directional distribution of site -generated traffic on adjacent roadways is influenced by several factors, including the following: • The location of the site relative to other facilities and the roadway network, • The configuration of the existing and proposed adjacent roadway network, • Relative location of neighboring population centers. The trip distribution was assumed to be 60% to and from the east and 40% to and from the west.

The trip distribution was assumed to be 60% to and from the east and 40% to and from the west. Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Page 7 4.6 Traffic Volumes The trip distribution assumptions were applied to the trip generation volumes to determine the turning movement volumes for the site traffic. The background through volumes on the frontage road for 2021 and 2041 were determined by applying the Town of Vail's standard growth rate of 1.5% per year to the 2020 traffic count volumes. The peak hour site -generated traffic, the 2021 and 2041 background traffic volumes, and the 2021 and 2041 total traffic volumes are shown in Figure 3.

Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Vail 5.0 Transportation Impact Analysis 5.1 Site Design and Traffic Circulation Evaluation The existing access to the Children's Garden of Learning will be used as the access to the proposed affordable housing facility. The access is a 24 -foot paved driveway accommodating two-way traffic. Internal circulation has been designed to accommodate two-way traffic with backing motions from parking stalls. Some of the parking will be in the lowest level of the building. 5.2 Auxiliary Turn Lane Requirements Turn lane requirements are based on the access classification of the highway, the speed limit and the turning movement volumes. The highway's access classification is FR — Frontage Road. The speed limit is less than 45 mph (25 mph eastbound and 35 mph westbound). As shown in Table 2, the turning volumes do not trigger any requirements for turn lanes. There is an existing left -turn deceleration lane which, though not required, will remain in use. Table 2: Auxiliary turn lane requirements Intersection Type of lane Weekday AM Peak Hour Volume (pce-vph) Weekday PM Peak Hour Volume (pce-vph) Trigger Volume [1] (pce-vph) Required by SHAC? 1-70 North Frontage Road and site access Left turn decel. 2 5 >25 No Right turn decel. 3 8 >50 No Right turn accel. 4 5 S&O [2] No Left turn accel. 6 7 S&O [2] No [ 1 ] Category F -R, — 40 mph, SHAC §3.13(4) [2] S&O = Safety and Operation triggers may apply. No traffic volume trigger. 5.3 Site Access Sight Distance The site access has adequate sight distance in both directions, exceeding the 450' requirement per Table 4-2 of the State Highway Access Code to the west and extending into the Exit 176 roundabout to the east. 5.4 State Highway Access Permit CDOT Access Permit Number 303014 was issued to the Town of Vail in 2003 for the north side of 1-70 frontage MP 175.930 for a Day Care Center with a volume "not to exceed 100 DHV". The proposed development will not require a new State Highway Access Permit since the volume will still be below the permit volume. Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3 March 9, 2021 Page 10 6.0 Recommendations and Conclusions The Town of Vail is proposing to construct new 72 -unit affordable housing facility at 129 N Frontage Road W (Middle Creek Subdivision, Lot 3). This will be a change in use for the property. The existing use is Children's Garden of Learning, a childcare facility. That facility will be removed. The purpose of this CDOT Level 2 study is to forecast and analyze the impacts of the site's traffic volumes on the surrounding roadway network. This traffic analysis was scoped with both the Town of Vail and CDOT prior to completion. Site Access and Circulation: The project is proposing to use the existing access onto the 1-70 frontage road. Sight distance meets the minimum spacing sight distance requirements per CDOT's State Highway Access Code. Trip Generation: The buildout of the site is expected to generate a total of 246 external vehicle trips over the course of an average weekday, including 15 trips during the morning peak hour and 25 trips during the afternoon/evening peak hour. Auxiliary Turn Lane Requirements: No additional auxiliary turn lane construction is required. State Highway Access Permit: There is a State Highway Access Permit in place for the existing access with a permit volume "not to exceed 100 DHV". The peak hour volume from the proposed facility will remain below the permit volume, so a new access permit is not required. Transportation Recommendations: Based upon the analysis and recommendations presented in this report, the proposed affordable housing facility is anticipated to be successfully incorporated into the Town of Vail's roadway network.

A TIS is required when the proposed land use will generate a Design Hour Volume (DHV) of 100 vehicles or more, or when considered necessary or desirable by CDOT. However, the SHAC provides little detail about traffic assessment requirements for projects generating less than 100 vehicles per hour. This document describes the three levels of traffic assessments required for access permitting in CDOT Region 3. The permit applicant should contact CDOT R3 access permitting (970-248-7230) to determine the appropriate level of traffic evaluation and the specific requirements for each individual application. Level One — Trip Generation Assessment The purpose of a Level One Assessment is to document the project trip generation and to confirm that auxiliary turn lanes are not required at the proposed access point. A Level One Assessment is required for all projects that generate less than ten trips in the peak hour. A single family home usually generates one trip in the peak hour so a project with nine or fewer homes would fit in this category. It is unlikely that any commercial or industrial development would fit in this category. The Level One Assessment shall include the following: • Description of project size and location • Trip Generation Calculations per the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation document (latest version) • A Professional Engineer's seal on the calculation is preferred, but not required. Level Two — Auxiliary Turn Lane Assessment The purpose of a Level Two Assessment is to document the project trip generation and to determine auxiliary turn lane requirements at the proposed access points. The results of this assessment may reveal that no turn lanes are needed. The assessment may also reveal that a Traffic Impact Study is necessary (see Level Three), as determined by CDOT. It is strongly recommended that all assumptions be confirmed with the CDOT traffic engineer prior to completing the assessment. A Level Two Assessment shall be required for all projects that generate between 10 and 99 trips in the peak hour. It shall include the following: • Description of project size and location, include site & location maps • Trip Generation Calculations per the ITE Trip Generation document (latest version) • Diagram or table showing existing driveways and side roads within 1000 feet from the access • A detailed statement of directional distribution assumptions for project traffic, include all correspondence; phone, emails etc., with local authorities concerning directional distribution. • A detailed statement of the 20 year background traffic growth calculation (source of existing data, growth rate, factors, etc) • Diagram or table showing am & pm peak -hour traffic volumes for: Short Term Traffic — existing, site generated, & total Long Term Traffic (20 Year) — background, site generated, & total • Recommendations for auxiliary turn lanes per the SHAC • Entering site distance at proposed access, include relative photos • A Professional Engineer's seal and signature is required Level Three — Traffic Impact Study The purpose of a TIS is to understand the full traffic impact of the proposed development, and to identify traffic mitigation measures. A TIS is required when the proposed land use will generate a DHV of 100 vehicles or more, or when considered necessary or desirable by CDOT. Section 2.3(5) of the SHAC specifies the thresholds and general requirements of a TIS. A Professional Engineer's seal is required. It is strongly recommended that all assumptions be confirmed with the CDOT traffic engineer prior to completing the study. co N 00 LJ J i 0 N O A I III III III III II1-11 M II 1 11 11=1 11=1 11=1 11=1 11=1 I I—I I 0 0 v !sz J o CR O i W OE j Z O W z N a (� z Z w W o LU J U = z ti uj� 1L/) c 1� to TRIP GENERATION FOR TOWN OF VAIL AFFORDABLE HOUSING January 13, 2021 Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to provide trip generation rates for affordable housing within the Town of Vail. Site The Timber Ridge and Lion's Ridge Apartments are located at 1280 N Frontage Road West and 1265 N Frontage Road West respectively, in Vail, CO. Collectively, there are a total of 210 dwelling units. Figure 1 shows the vicinity map and the two accesses to the frontage road for the apartments. Figure 1: Vicinity Map Traffic Counts Traffic counts were taken onsite on December 1, 2018. Counts are enclosed with this memorandum. Table 1 and Table 2 summarize the inbound, outbound and total volumes for both accesses in Vehicles per Hour (vph): Table 1: Summary of Access Volumes for AM Peak (in Vehicles per Hour) CDOWELL Page Iof2 ENGINEERINGR: Tp AN5Pn R7AYInN ENGINEENING CGN5uETA N7s EAGLE • BROOMFIELD • GRAND JUNCTION 970.623.0788 9 MCDOWELLENG.COM Table 2: Summary of Access Volumes for PM Peak (in Vehicles per Hour) Trip Generation Rates The trip generation rates for AM and PM peaks are derived by dividing the total volume of both accesses by the number of dwelling units. The weekday rate is calculated by assuming the average daily traffic (ADT) is ten percent (10%) of the highest design hourly volume (DHV). Table 3 summarizes these calculations below: Table 3: Trio Generation Rate Calculations * Weekday trip generation rates are estimated by assuming a DHV (design hourly volume) of 10% of ADT (average daily traffic) Directional Distribution Directional Distribution is calculated by taking the percentage of the inbound and outbound traffic of the total traffic. Table 4 summarizes these calculations: Table 4: Directional Distribution for AM and PM Peaks Multimodal Reductions The Timber Ridge and Lion's Ridge Apartments are located within close proximity of a bus stop, and there are multimodal paths adjacent to the properties. Therefore, these rates include multimodal reductions, as the counted access volumes were taken when residents were using these facilities. Summary The trip generation rates presented in this memorandum are appropriate for proposed sites that look to construct affordable or multifamily housing within the Town of Vail or other similar communities.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 March 8, 2021 Re: Vail Children's Garden Residential Parking Analysis — Affordable Housing Apartments Vail, Colorado Purpose: This memorandum was developed to give a recommendation for the affordable housing apartments being proposed as part of Triumph's Vail Children's Garden Residential development project. The recommendation is based upon two methodologies. • Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) parking demand data • Local parking rates at comparable apartment complexes National Parking Rate: The Institute of Transportation Engineers' Parking Generation Manual' states that the average peak period parking demand for a mid -rise apartment (Land Use #221) is 0.71 spaces per dwelling unit. The statistic is given based upon the 95th Percent Confidence Interval for a nationwide study of 43 apartment complexes. The 95th Percent Confidence Interval indicates that there is a 95% likelihood that the parking demand will fall within 0.61 to 0.81 parking spaces per unit. These rates were taken in dense multi -use urban complexes throughout the United States and are located within % mile to rail transit. The Parking Generation Manual does not specify the number of bedrooms for the multifamily units, but given the broad range of studies, it is anticipated that the individual studies contained a mix of 1, 2, and 3 -bedroom units. Observed Local Parking Rate: As stated in the Parking Generation Manual, "The quality and quantity of parking demand data vary significantly by land use code. The Parking Generation Manual should be considered only the beginning point of information to be used in estimating parking demand. Local conditions and area type can influence parking demand. The wide array of data in the manual blends many site conditions and may not best reflect a particular local condition. Therefore, a survey of a site in a comparable local condition should always be considered as one potential means to estimate parking demand." Therefore, local data can provide another viewpoint of parking for Vail's local workforce housing. The Middle Creek Village Apartments located directly west of the Children's Garden site have similar characteristics to the proposed residential apartments. They primarily serve work force housing, have 1 AParking Generation Manual, 5th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2019 �� 1 CDOWELL ENGINEERING ILC TRANSPORTATION CGNGLILTANT1.S EAGLE • BROOMFIELD • GRAND JUNCTION 970.623.0788 . MCDOWELLENG.COM ENGINEERING similar amenities, and have direct access to Vail's transit system. The site is located within walking and bus proximity to recreation and amenities. Parking counts were performed at the Middle Creek Village Apartments on December 29, 2020. Counts were taken at 4:OOAM, 10:OOAM, and 6:0013M. Results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 below. Table 1: Middle Creek Village Parkina Count Data for December 29. 2020 Figure 1: Middle Creek Village Parking Count Data for December 29, 2020 300 250 200 150 16 100 50 148 119 123 0 4AM 10AM 6PM Occupied Spaces Spaces Utilized as Storage ■ Surplus Spaces The observed parking rate is as shown in Table 2. The spaces used as storage were not included in this calculation. Table 2: Middle Creek Village Observed Parking Rates It should be noted that there is a high percentage of surplus parking at Middle Creek. This is evident based upon the overnight parking spaces (83) as well as sixteen (16) spaces being used as "storage." A significant difference between the Middle Creek Village apartments and the proposed Children's Garden is the amount of surplus parking that will be made available. 2 CDOWELL ENGINEERING 1.S A[ CGNGLILTANTEAGLE • BPOOMEIELD • GRAND JUNCTION 970.623.0788 . MCDOWELLENG.COM TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING Proposed Parking Rate: A parking rate of 0.71 spaces per dwelling unit consistent with the ITE rate is recommended for the Children's Garden site. Triumph Development is proposing to provide 55 parking spaces for 72 affordable housing apartments. This equates to a parking rate of 0.76 spaces per unit. The parking rate observed at the adjacent Middle Creek Village is higher that the ITE parking rate and the proposed Children's Garden rate. This could be due to the following reasons: There is a significant number of excess parking spaces available. This encourages residents to use these underutilized spaces in inefficient ways. It is evident that storage was being utilized at the site. If the available parking were closer to the actual parking demand, the storage likely would not occur. It is possible that some vehicles could also be used as storage on site. However, it is difficult to discern which of these vehicles might be utilized as storage. The Children's Garden site should utilize the parking management strategies to best manage the available parking spaces. Strategies include the following recommendations: • Allocation of parking spaces per tenant or unit, including seasonal variations • Promotion of bicycle or vehicle share and/or shuttle programs • Provision of secured and protected bike parking and storage • Guest parking provisions and management • Off-site vehicle storage Therefore, with proper parking management strategies, it is anticipated that a parking rate of 0.71 spaces per unit will be adequate for the proposed workforce housing facility.

(Cesare) performed a geologic hazards assessment for Triumph Development West, LLC (Client) for the proposed Middle Creek Housing in Vail, Colorado. A vicinity map of the site is shown in Exhibit 1. EXHIBIT 1. Vicinity Map 1. SCOPE Cesare has not visited the site at the time of this letter. A visit to verify Cesare's findings will be made Corporate Office: 7108 South Alton Way, Building B Centennial, CO 80112 Locations: Centennial + Frederick Silverthorne Salida/Crested Butte Phone 303-220-0300 www.cesareinc.com CESARE, INC. in the spring after the ground is substantially free of snow cover. This assessment addresses geologic hazards consistent with Colorado Senate Bill 35 (1972), House Bill 1041 (1974), and Eagle County land use code requirements that could impact site development. 2. SITE CONDITIONS The site is located north of Interstate 70 in Vail, Colorado. The site slopes down from north to south. The site is currently a preschool known as the Children's Garden of Learning. Cesare understands that development will consist of demolishing the existing building and parking lot and replacing with a building about 55 feet by 300 feet in plan dimension. The building will be stepped to fit the slope of the site, with four stories on the uphill side and five stories on the downhill side. The lower level of the five -story section will be parking. Based on current drawings, excavations about 20 feet deep will be required for the structure. In addition to excavations, current plans indicate as much as 15 feet of fill will change existing site grades. 3. SITE GEOLOGY The "Geologic map of the Vail West quadrangle, Eagle County, Colorado," by Scott, R.B., et al., USGS MF -2369, 2002, indicates that the surficial deposits at the site consist of glacial till. The bedrock at the site consists of the Minturn Formation, which is an interbedded sandstone, siltstone, and claystone. 4. HAZARDS ASSESSMENT The Eagle County geohazards assessment maps do not list any hazards on the site. There are landslide and rockfall hazard areas mapped to the east, debris fans mapped to the south, and rockfall and debris flow areas to the northwest. A portion of the geologic hazards map for the area is included as Exhibit 2. Cesare reviewed a preliminary geohazards study for the site by Koechlein Consulting Engineers, Inc., dated August 23, 2001. The preliminary geohazards study includes a larger area than this letter. The preliminary geohazards study lists rockfall and debris flow hazards for the site and notes that both hazards can be mitigated. The following sections address additional hazards that may be affect the site. 21.5015.A Middle Creek Housing Lot 3 Letter 03.10.21 CESARE, INC.

Portion of Geologic Hazards Map 4.1 FLOODING HAZARD ASSESSMENT According to the Eagle County flood maps, the site is mapped as Zone X area of minimal flood hazard. Cesare opines that because of the steep sides of the valley and that the site is located well above Gore Creek, flood hazard will be minimal. 4.2 RADON The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency map of radon zones indicates that virtually all of western Colorado, including Eagle County, is in Zone 1 (www.epa.gov/radon/zonemap.htmi). Although there is no known safe level of radon, Zone 1 is the zone of highest risk for exposure to radon gas (i.e., greater than 4 picocudes per Liter (PCi/1)). The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) participated in an EPA study in 1987 and 1988 to record indoor radon levels throughout Colorado residences and compiled its results in a report that related geologic setting and building construction with radon levels (CGS 1991 Open -File Report 91-4). Residences with basements had higher levels of radon than residences built on grade on the same geologic material. The CGS is careful to state that radon potential can vary considerably within the same geologic unit due to the nonuniform distribution of uranium, secondary leaching, and the accumulation of uranium and other radioactive elements into other strata. Based on levels of radon recorded in existing residences in the region and the presence of rock types that are known to produce radon, it is reasonable to assume that radon emissions into buildings is occurring in the Vail area. The EPA, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Radiation Management Division, and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recommend that all new residences constructed in Zone 1 should include radon resistant features. These organizations also recommend that after the building is constructed, radon should be measured and if the results are greater than 4 pCi/L, the system should be upgraded from passive 21.5015.A Middle Creek Housing Lot 3 letter 03.10.21 CESARE, INC. to active (usually by installing a fan). In the EPA publication titled, "Building Radon Out: a Step -by - Step Guide on How to Build Radon -Resistant Homes" (USEPA Office of Air and Radiation EPA/402-K- 01-002, April 2001), three practical and inexpensive alternatives for passive, sub -slab depressurization systems are presented; gravel with vents, perforated pipes, or soil gas collection mats. Recommendations for passive and active design and construction techniques for reducing radon gas can be found on the EPA radon website www.epa.govLadon or the CDPHE radon website www.odphe.state.co.us/hm/rad/radon . 4.4 LANDSLIDES There are steep slopes above the site and landslides are mapped at a similar elevation along the valley. Cesare will conduct a site visit to look for physical signs of landslides, i.e., tension cracks, hummocky terrain, pistol butting of trees. At this time, Cesare is not aware of any active landslides on the site; however, construction and development of this site should include a slope stability analysis. Slope stability analysis of the site should include any excavations or fills planned for the site, as changes in grading can destabilize an otherwise stable site. 4.5 ROCKFALL The Minturn and Maroon Formations include some cliff forming members that are often source areas for rockfall. There are areas of rockfall hazard mapped both east and west of the site. The site is not mapped as an area of rockfall hazard. During Cesare's site visit, after snowmelt, it will confirm if any rockfall exists at or above the site and any potential source areas. 4.6 AVALANCHE Slopes north of the site are steep enough to generate an avalanche, however, no avalanche hazard is mapped on or above the site. Cesare has not observed any avalanche paths or scars on or adjacent to the site. Cesare judges the avalanche hazard at the site to be low. In Cesare's opinion, no avalanche mitigation will be necessary at the site. 4.7 ABANDONED MINES No abandoned mines are known to exist below or in the vicinity of the property. Risks associated with settlement due to abandoned mines is considered nil. 4.8 DEBRIS FLOWS Two debris flow fans are mapped south and southeast of the site. The debris fans sit at the mouths of Spraddle Creek and Middle Creek, downhill from the site. The Robson geohazards map explanation descri bes the debris fans as "Areas 0possid/e recurrent flooding, debris flows and hydrocompaction". Potential for hydrocompaction of debris fan material should be evaluated in a design level geotechnical report. Hydrocompaction reduced or managed in several ways, including deep foundations, overexcavation, and managing drainage. A design level geotechnical report should include testing for collapse potential to evaluate the risk of hydrocompaction of any debris flow material on the site. 21.5015.A Middle Creek Housing Lot 3 Letter 03.10.21 4 CESARE, INC. 5. CONCLUSIONS There are no geologic hazards in the literature reviewed by Cesare that preclude development of the site. Cesare will visit the site, after snowmelt, to verify the findings in the literature. Slope stability, and hydrocompaction should be evaluated in a design level report. 6.

I am reaching out to you regarding the parking plan and the newly proposed Lot 3 development to share with you some concerns/thoughts, but most especially to let you know that the parking study that is included in public materials from McDowell Engineering as relates to Middle Creek and its "surplus spaces" is entirely wrong. I had no idea that this study was underway and I came to know about it only by chance when I was on the Town website. Frankly, the conclusions and statements in the study shocked me. The conclusion of the study, based on a parking count that someone at McDowell did on one night in late December, is that Middle Creek has AT LEAST 85 vacant/surplus parking space. The reality, however, is that our 247 parking are always/almost always 100% leased to residents at Middle Creek or are used for other key property needs (vendor parking, maintenance parking, Uber/pizza delivery, mail and package delivery, etc.). While in some years we have a handful of extra spaces, more often than not we are 100% leased and regularly turn down tenants' requests for parking. All parking spaces at Middle Creek are reserved/registered to specific residents and their specific personal vehicles. Tenants pay monthly rent for the use of their assigned parking spaces, so we have detailed records and parking controls in place at all times. We boot illegal vehicles, and we maintain waitlists for spaces that come available. Per our on-site Property Manager (who has been with us for nearly 9 years) in an email to me last week, "Our parking is usually/always full and we still have tenants complain about not having parking." After reading the Parking report from McDowell, I reviewed the specifics of parking at Middle Creek on 12/29/2020, which of course mirrors the reservations and utilization that we have on the books this year. Below is a summary of the facts: On 12/29/2020 (and generally also for the 2020/2021 leasing year), all 247 of our parking spaces were reserved for and used exclusively by Middle Creek residents, EXCEPT for: • 1 single car space in the garage (I believe vacant due to a tenant "skip" in earlier December) • Three 2 -car tandem spaces in the garage, and we use 2 of these 3 spaces for residents to temporarily park in when someone has illegally parked in their reserved space and their space is therefore blocked by an illegal (booted) vehicle. Over the years, we have learned to plan for some illegal parking and this system has reduced headaches and complaining from our residents if we can park them in another spot while we deal with the interloper. Illegal parking in reserved spaces happens a lot, although it may not or may not have happened on the specific night of 12/29/2020. We frequently have 2-3 separate cars booted at the same time, and we could perhaps have more except that we only own 3 boots. In summary, there were essentially 3 parking spaces out of 247 on 12/29/20 that we were "vacant" and could have been rented to new parkers. In addition to those parking spaces reserved and assigned to tenants, we have 6 spaces right at our front door that we reserve for short term use (30 minutes), which is for mail delivery, package delivery, visitors to our office, etc. We also reserved 10 other surface parking spaces for overnight visitors, which is specifically for vehicles that register with us in advance for short stays visiting family and friends who live at Middle Creek. If you add all that up, on 12/29/20 and generally for this season (and generally for all of our 16 seasons), we use our parking as follows: Middle Creek Parking Summary Winter 2020/2021 % of If Middle Creek really is a proxy for what might be or could be expected on Lot 3 given the similar characteristics of the apartments and similar populations served, as the McDowell study asserts, that would indicate that 55 spaces would be dramatically under -parked. Middle Creek has 247 spaces/142 units = 1.74 spaces/dwelling unit. I personally think it is also relevant to gauge the parking spaces to the number of adult residents who live at the property, especially since employee housing in resort communities is more densely occupied with roommates than generic mid- level apartments elsewhere. At Middle Creek, we sometimes have 2 roommates who share a bedroom; the Lot 3 architectural plan shows that the 2 bedroom/2 Bath units will be set up for 4 residents, and the 1 bedroom units will be set up for 2 residents, etc. Lot 3 Plan therefore appears to be very dense, accommodating 200+ residents. We typically have about 300 adult residents living at Middle Creek, so we have 247 spaces/300 adults residents = 0.82 parking spaces per adult resident. At 200 residents in the Lot 3 development proposal, the 55 parking spaces proposed would result in 0.27 parking spaces per adult resident and 0.76 parking spaces per dwelling unit. On both measures, Lot 3 would have dramatically less parking than we have at Middle Creek, even though our resident profile would be similar. Look at it this way: If Middle Creek was parked at 0.27 parking spaces per adult resident, as is proposed on Lot 3, that would mean that we would have just 81 parking spaces at Middle Creek versus the 247 parking spaces that we actually have. Candidly, that would be a disaster. dumber Total Reserved Parking For Residents 224 91`io Short term spaces at office 6 2% Registered Visitor Spaces 10 4% Temporary Space if Tenant -reserved space is illegally occupied 4 2% Vacant/Available to rent 3 1% Total 247 100% If Middle Creek really is a proxy for what might be or could be expected on Lot 3 given the similar characteristics of the apartments and similar populations served, as the McDowell study asserts, that would indicate that 55 spaces would be dramatically under -parked. Middle Creek has 247 spaces/142 units = 1.74 spaces/dwelling unit. I personally think it is also relevant to gauge the parking spaces to the number of adult residents who live at the property, especially since employee housing in resort communities is more densely occupied with roommates than generic mid- level apartments elsewhere. At Middle Creek, we sometimes have 2 roommates who share a bedroom; the Lot 3 architectural plan shows that the 2 bedroom/2 Bath units will be set up for 4 residents, and the 1 bedroom units will be set up for 2 residents, etc. Lot 3 Plan therefore appears to be very dense, accommodating 200+ residents.

Candidly, that would be a disaster. Whatever the Town decides relative to parking on Lot 3, 1 wanted to make sure that a decision in favor of significantly reduced parking is not based on incorrect data about Middle Creek.

INTRODUCTION Odell Architects, PC retained Stewart Environmental Consultants Inc. to perform an Environmental Impact Assessment of the proposed Middle Creek Village development. The property is located adjacent to the Mountain Bell facility, directly north across Interstate 70 from Vail Village. The proposed project consists of multi -family housing constructed an a 6.5 -acre site owned by the Town of Vail. The purpose of the project is to provide affordable housing for people currently employed in Vail, who are presently living in or near the community. The project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19`" Ave., Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80203-1035. The site location is depicted on Figures 1 through 3. Photographs of the site are provided as Figure 4. 11. PURPOSE The purpose of performing the Environmental Impact Assessment is to achieve the following objectives: A. Availability of Information: To ensure that complete information an the environmental effects of the proposed project is available to the Town Council, the Planning and Environmental Commission, and the general public. B. Environmental Protection A Criterion: To ensure that long-term protection of the environment is a guiding criterion in project planning, and that land use and development decisions, both public and private, take into account the relative merits of possible alternative actions. C. Review and Evaluation Procedure: To provide procedures for local review and evaluation of the environmental effects of proposed projects prior to granting of permits or other authorizations for commencement of development. D. Avoid Geologic Hazard Areas: To ensure that the buildings are not constructed in geologic hazard areas, by way of illustration, flood plains, avalanche paths, rockfall areas, where such hazard cannot practically be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council. E. Protect Water Quality: To ensure that the quality of surface water and ground water within the Town of Vail will be protected from adverse impacts and/or degradation due to construction activities.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION Site Cv_nce t The initial conceptual design approach for Middle Creek Village housing is meant to reflect a new model of multi family housing in mountain communities. The site parameters and community context were the prime motivators for the layout of the buildings and parking; however, the solution incorporates some planning principles of a more "urban" nature. The buildings are arranged around a pedestrian oriented "street" which creates an axis running east to west across the site. The "street" rises to the center of the project, following the contours of the site. Entries into individual units as well as project amenities will occur along the path, and it is envisioned to include both hardscape and landscape areas. The pedestrian street will be an active place reminiscent of other village centers in the community. Encouraging the use of alternate transportation, our team proposes to work with the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Town of Vail to create a project specific transit step, as well as develop pedestrian and bicycle access from the site into town. These are accessible to the residences along a central pedestrian spine that nuns down the hill and through a two-story opening in the center building, ending at the proposed transit stop. Given that a large segment of the market for this project will be seasonal employees, our team believes the daily use of the automobile can be minimal. Consequently, the relationship between the car and the building is downplayed in our solution. Separating vehicle parking from the buildings allows the project to create a pedestrian oriented "village" character and allows the buildings to be sited closer together, thus visually reinforcing this image. This is similar to the exterior pedestrian spaces created by the architecture at areas such as Bridge Street in Vail Village and Lionshead Village. The siting of the parking areas behind the buildings will also help shield views of the lots from the frontage road and from across the valley. The Early Learning Center has been sited to the far eastern edge of the site, but is easily accessible from the residences on the loop road. This configuration provides a nicely separated site for the children's facility. The overall site concept adheres closely to the existing contours of the site. The buildings rise and fall across the length of the site with the terrain, creating an undulating profile that further reinforces the "village" concept. Building Conce Further reinforcing the "village" concept, the buildings are designed as three separate building types. All the buildings will be one unit deep, creating crass flow ventilation and economy of construction. There are no enclosed walkways or stair towers, as the site allows the majority of units to be accessed at grade. Internal floor plans will develop stacked plumbing cores, and the mix of units will be designed to minimize structural offsets and maximize construction simplicity. Each of the six residential buildings includes a one-story element on the end which houses laundry and storage facilities for that building. The building orientation creates maximum 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 2 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 0 0 southern exposure for every unit. The fact that the buildings are simply one unit deepereates excellent opportunities for flow-through ventilation. Our proposal will incorporate highly efficient mechanical and electrical designs. We believe on a scale of zero to five our development will achieve a five, or the highest efficiency rating available. Since all units are accessed from grade or a small stair, there are no interior corridors to heat or cool, further enhancing overall energy efficiency. Please refer to our preliminary LEER evaluation in Section VI -J for additional information on energy and sustainability. The overall character of the building design is meant to reinforce the "villager' concept, with varying building types, massing, and styles creating a cohesive whole. Stylistically, we will incorporate the tradition of Vail Valley architecture while maintaining an economical design_ Thiscan be achieved by the judicious use of distinct design elements throughout the project. In a cost sensitive project, forms may be simple, but the sensitive use of massing, scale, and rhythm can create an architecture that is respectful of, and complimentary to, the surrounding architecture of Vail Valley, The exciting architectural design and pedestrian street space will create a of choice for potential employees. IV. SITE DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY Location The subject property is an irregular shaped, approximate 6.5 -acre mountainside site; its location is described as a part of the South 1/2 of the Southeast % of Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 80 West of the 6'h PM, Town of Vail, Eagle County, Colorado. The property adjoins the existing Mountain Bell property located north of the 1-70 North Frontage Road, Zoning A majority of the subject site is presently zoned "NAPID" (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned "G" (General). The proposed project will require rezoning the 6.5 -acre site to the designation "H" (Housing). Site Usag The property is owned by the Town of Vail. Onsite development includes two small wooden structures presently housing early childhood learning centers. They are located directly east of the offsite Mountain Bell structure. Site development plans call for demolition of the two early childhood learning facility StrUCtLiVeS With construction of a new learning center at the southeast portion of the site. 'The remainder of the site is undeveloped open land except for the existing road and parking area that serves the off-site Mountain Bell facility and the onsiteearly learning facilities. The proposed use of the property was described in Section 1, above. Hydrologic Conditions No surface bodies of water are located on the proposed project site. Onsite surface drainage is mainly via sheet flow and is generally southerly, although the western portion of the site likely drains to Middle Creek, located off site just to the west of the entry road. A man-made drainage 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 3 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 0 0 channel adjoins the eastern side of the Mountain Be]] structure. Soil and drainage issues are described in reports provided under separate cover by Koechlein Engineering and Peak Land Consultants, Inc. Geoloclic Conditions A geologic report by RJ Irish, Consulting Engineering Geologist, Inc. is provided under separate cover. Biotic Conditions Ecologically, the property is located in the Montane Zone at elevations of approximately 8r220 to 8,300 feet above mean sea level on a southerly aspect. Regarding plant communities, the site is described as complex as it contains elements of several communities. These include Montane Grasslands and Mixed Mountain Shrubland located on the eastern portion of the mountainside with Aspen stands occurring at the southeastern portion of the site. These communities include representatives of most of the life forms of the plant kingdom including ferns, grasses, forbes, shrubs, and trees. Native and non-native vegetation is present including invasive species of noxious weeds. The western area of the property is mainly Montane Riparian Forest dominated by Narrow -leaf Cottonwoods (Pcpulus angustafolia) and a scattering of Thin -leaf Alder (Alnus incana) and Aspen (Populus tremuloides). Presence of Aspen as well as species of invasive weedy forbes indicate the likelihood of past disturbance such as fire. Climax community species such as Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens) are located off site higher up the Middle Creek drainage, but Blue Spruce and other climax community trees were not observed on site. Wildlife uses the site; large mammals including deer and elk browse on the Serviceberry and Current located in the Mixed Mountain Shrubland Community. Other mammals including Black Bear, Coyote, Fox, Rabbits, Chipmunks, Golden -mantle Ground Squirrels, Pocket Gophers, and other rodent species likely feed and/or inhabit the site. Reptiles, such as species of Garter Snakes also likely inhabit the site. No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located on site. Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the property's western boundary, the creek is not likely used as a migratory corridor. Inter,5tate70 and development adjoining the south side of 1-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of 1-70 to its confluence with Gore Creek south of 1-70. No known threatened or endangered species of plants or animals have been identified at the site. However, no onsite surveys for such species are known to have been per -formed. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (1999) lists the status of various animals, plants, and plant communities found in Eagle County. A copy of the Eagle County list is provided in Appendix A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS "Environmental Review' of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecological information regarding the status of plants, plant communities, and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. The review will report the status of these communities, Middle Creek, a relatively pristine stream that likely contains Native Cutthroat Trout, traverses the adjacent property to the west of the subject site. The creek flows out of a saddle located to 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 4 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 0 0 the north upslope from the site, It flaws southerly down slope, jogs west around the Mountain Bell building, and then flows southerly for approximately 150 feet paralleling the west side of the entry road to Mountain Bell. It enters a culvert beneath 1-70 and the associated frontage roads and flows through the culvert south of 1-70 to its discharge point into Gore Creek south of the interstate. Gare Greek flaws westerly to its confluence with the Eagle River near Minturn, The existing creek channel may not be the historic creek channel. Stream modification (channelization) appears to have been conducted upstream of the culvert adjacent to the entry road. This 150 -foot reach is likely the closest location of the stream to the subject property. The stream bank, as well as its associated vegetation, appears disturbed along this reach.. Observed vegetation was mainly upland in nature with both native (Western wheat grass- Agropyron sp.) and non-native species of grasses (brome-Bromus enur+mus), as well as invasive noxious weeds (See Figure 4 photographs, page 2). Upstream from this reach and off site from the subject property, a riparian corridor of wetland vegetation adjoins the stream channel. Adjoining the east side of the entry road, adjacent to its 150 -fact north/south orientation, is a Narrow -leaf Cottonwood (Populus angustifolia) community. This species is referenced in the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service publication, National List of Plant Species That Occur In Wetlands: Intermountain {Region 8}. Its indicator category is listed as "Facultative", which is described as "Equally likely to occur in wetlands or nonwetlands (estimated probability 34%-66%). The presence of this community may be due to a former location of the stream channel or may be due to high groundwater conditions existing near the stream channel. The Narrow -leaf Cottonwood Community continues to the north (off site) and south (on site) of the entry road after the road turns east. Figure 4 Photographs, page 2, depicts the entry road along its east/west orientation with the Narrow -leaf Cottonwood Community adjoining both sides of the road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands; it does not necessarily confirm their presence. Actual wetland existence can only be determined by performing a wetland assessment, which not only considers vegetation type, but also investigates other factors including the presence of hydric soils and wetland hydrology, Montane Environmental Solutions of Vail, Colorado is presently investigating wetland issues at the site. A letter regarding the status of their investigation is provided under separate cover, V. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed Middle Creek Village will impact plant and animal communities presently inhabiting the property. Site development including earth roving activities and building/parking lot construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5 -acre site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the north, east, and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat, and wildlife species, The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and animal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearby similar habitat - 2850 -001 Environmental Impact Report Page 5 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc.. 0 0 Landscaping including grass, shrubs, and trees will cover a min ' minimum of 30% of the developed site. Middle Creek Village will be sensitively integrated into environmental surroundings, Birds, insects, and possibly small mammals will utilize the landscaped areas, which will mitigate some habitat loss. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts on use of adjacent property by wildlife -- particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light may influence adjoining habitat use. Adjoining property is private so that residents of the village should not be using adjoining properties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. Impact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads, The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks- Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potentially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. If dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. As previously referenced, drainage issues are addressed in a report under separate cover. Montane Environmental Solutions is performing a wetland assessment. As previously referenced, a potential exists for the existence of jurisdictional wetlands in the vicinity of the Marrow -leaf Cottonwood Forest located adjacent to the existing access road. The presence of this community is an indicator of the potential existence of wetlands- it does not necessarily confirm their presence. We recommend performing a wetland assessment conforming to US Army Corps of Engineers (The Corps) guidelines, If on-site wetlands are identified, several alternatives are available. These include- 1) establishing development setbacks from the wetlands 2) wetlands can be taken through the 404 Permitting process and replacement per -formed to mitigate the loss or 3) if the wetlands are below minimum surface areas established by the Corps,, they may be removed and built upon. If on-site jurisdictional wetlands are identified, The Corps is the agency regulating such matters. A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek ties north and west of this area. Impacts to the riparian corridor and wildlife using the corridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 6 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 9 0 VI. OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS A. Land Acquisitions and Displacements The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Approximately 6.5 acres of land is required; the developer/project owner is Coughlin and Company, 140 East 19" Ave_ Suite 700, Denver, CO 80203-1035. The Town of Vail owns the land. It is proposed that the Town of Vail will lease the site to the developer for a 53 -year period at which time the property will revert to the Town. Two displacements will result from implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood learning centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolished, and new facilities will be constructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regulations require a full National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. If the inspection identifies asbestos -containing materials, regulations require their removal prior to demolition of the buildings. No minority communities, households, or minority-owned businesses are located on site, and therefore, will not be impacted by any potential negative environmental concerns such as noise, air, or water pollution; or from the construction of the facility. B. Land Use and Zoning The impact is "Generally Not Significant". A majority of the subject site is presently zoned "NAPU (Natural Area Preservation District), and a small portion of the site where two early learning centers are located is zoned G. The proposed project will require rezoning to the designation "H" (Housing). C. Visual Conditions Parking areas will be located behind housing thereby shielding it from view from the Town of Vail. Overall project form and massing is in character with existing Vail Village. The height, mass, and materials that will be used in the proposed Middle Creek Village will convey a sense of permanence and contextual and regional appropriateness. D. Air Quality The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The project will conform to all applicable local, state, and federal air quality regulations and standards, including, but not limited to those regulating odor, dust, fumes of gases, which are noxious, toxic, or corrosive, and suspended solid or liquid particles. 2850-001 Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. Environmental Impact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Page 7 of 14 0 0 Fireplaces will not be installed in the development thereby eliminating wood smoke. There will be no balconies or decks that would provide space for grills or barbecues. There may be a grill in a public area of the complex. The Middle Creek Village project is designed to discourage vehicle usage and encourage other modes of transportation such as 'buses, biking, and walking. TDA of Colorado performed a transportation impact analysis regarding the proposed Middle Creek Village. Their report is provided under separate cover. The report indicates that the impact of traffic generated by the proposed project will be ",Generally Not Significant". MM.1 The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Stewart Environmental identified no noise -sensitive; land uses on adjacent properties. The proposed site is located adjacent to the north side of 1-70. The noise from the interstate is far greater than any that would be produced by the development. F. Light Pollution The Middle Creek Village development will have minimal light trespass from the residential buildings. G. Flooding The impact is "Possibly Significant". Peak Land Consultants, Inc. addresses flooding issues in a report provided under separate cover. H. Navigable Waterways and Coastal Zones The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The proposed site is not located near or affected by a navigable waterway or a coastal zone. I. Traffic and Parking The impact is "Generally Not Significant". TDA of Colorado performed a traffic study. Their report is provided under separate cover. J. Energy Requirements and Potential for Conservation The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The proposed project is expected to result in energy conservation. The Vail Affordable Housing Project, Vail, Colorado incorporates principles of sustainable design and utilizes design strategies to reduce its energy and environmental impact. The U.S. Green Building Council's 2857-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 8 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 0 0 Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system is here used as 2 preliminary sustainable design measure of the project. As it is currently written, LEED version 2.0 is a system designed to rate new and existing commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential buildings. It specifically rates low-rise residential projects. The USGBC is currently developing a residential version of the LEED rating system. Nevertheless, the sustainable design principles embodied in LEED v. 2.0 serves as useful goals, guidelines, and measure for sustainable features of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. The LEED rating system consists of seven prerequisite criteria and 32 user -selected criteria organized into five categories: • Sustainable Site Development • Water Efficiency • Energy and Atmosphere • Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality LEED is a voluntary, consensus -based, market-driven building rating system based on available proven technology that evaluates environmental performance from a "whole building" perspective over a building's life cycle. The following preliminary LEED analysis incorporates input from the design team to more accurately evaluate the conceptual design of the Vail Affordable Housing Project. K. Construction The impact is "Generally Not Significant". Construction of the Middle Creek Village is anticipated to commence in March 2002 and will last for approximately 18 months, therefore any construction impacts will be temporary and of short duration. All construction staging will be located on site and construction activities predominantly will be confined to this site. Contractors will be required to obtain the necessary permits and comply with all relevant town, state and federal regulations regarding construction and safety. Potential construction impacts are described below. Noise No noise -sensitive land uses are located on adjacent property. Construct -Ion hours and noise levels will comply with the Town of Vail policies. Disruption of Utilities It is anticipated that there will be no disruption of utilities, and therefore no significant impact with this activity. Construction of all utilities to serve the site will be contained within the proposed site. Disposal of Debris and Spoil 2850-001 Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. Envircrimental Impact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Page 9 of 14 0 0 Demolition of two buildings is required as previously referenced. All construction debris will be disposed at an approved landfill and transported on designated truck routes. The general contractor will be responsible for on-site cleanup and disposal of debris. Soil fill may be required to elevate buildings above the 100 -year flood plain. Disposal of sail is not required. Water Quali!y and Runoff Project construction will not impact existing water quality. The general contractor will comply with water quality requirements for site construction to meet state water quality regulations, Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction including the use of erosion control measures. Access and Disruption of Traffic City streets will not have any significant impact since the site is located directly off the I- 70 North Frontage Road, Any frontage road diversions will be addressed with a detour plan. Air Quality and Dust Control Standard construction practices and BMPs will be used to control and minimize onsite dust and emissions. Safety and Security Standard construction safety measures will be observed on site. Town of Vail police will ensure security. Disruption of Businesses No businesses are located in the immediate vicinity of the project area. L. Aesthetics The impact is "Generally Not Significant". The height, mass, and materials that will be used in the proposed Middle Creek Village will convey a sense of permanence and contextual and regional appropriateness. In addition, the facility design will promote an orderly circulation and efficient integration of buses, other vehicles, and pedestrians. M. Community Disruption The impact is 'Generally Not Significant". No businesses or residential sectors will be disrupted or displaced, and no segments of the community will be isolated as a result of this proposed project. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 10 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants. inc. N. Secondary Development The impact is 'Generally Not Significant", The proposed project will not generate secondary development. The project is an outcome of the community's determination to provide affordable housing for people already employed in Vail and are presently living in or near the community. The proposed housing project indirectly addresses the cause of traffic -related problems, 0.

No major wildlife migratory routes appear to be located on site, Although Middle Creek is located off site directly west of the property's western boundary, the creek is not likely used as a migratory corridor. Interstate70 and development adjoining the south side of 1-70 preclude use of the corridor for migratory use. Middle Creek is contained within a culvert from the north side of 1-70 to its confluence with Gore Creek south of 1-70. 6. No known threatened or endangered species of plants or animals have been identified at the site. However, no on-site surveys for such species are known to have been performed. The Colorado Natural Heritage Program's Conservation Status Handbook (1999) lists the status of various animals, plants and plant communities found in Eagle County. A Copy of the Eagle County list is provided in Appendix A. We recommend having the Colorado Natural Heritage Program perform a GIS "Environmental Review" of the subject site and adjacent area. The review searches known ecological information regarding the status of plants, plant communities and animals within a specified radius of the subject property. The review will report the status of these communities. 7. The proposed Middle Creek Village will impact plant and animal communities inhabiting the property. Site development including earth moving activities and building/parking lot 2850-001 Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. Environmental impact Report Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Page 12 of 14 0 0 construction will strip a majority of the existing native and non-native vegetation, including noxious weeds, and displace wildlife from the approximate 6.5 -acre Site. However, existing vegetation and wildlife are not site specific. Surrounding property to the north, east and west contain vast square miles of similar plant communities, wildlife habitat and wildlife species. The loss of these 6.5 acres does not represent a significant impact to the plant and animal communities. Displaced wildlife will find and inhabit nearby similar habitat. 8. The presence of Middle Creek Village will have impacts an use of adjacent property by wildlife, particularly large mammals. Increased human presence and reflected light May influence adjoining habitat use. Adjoining property is private so that residents of the Village should not be using adjoining proper -ties. Human/bear interaction is possible. All trash dumpsters will need to be covered and otherwise made bear proof. Lighting designed to reduce reflected light and conform to the Town of Vail building code will be incorporated into the site design. 9, Impact to Middle Creek from surface runoff will be minimized. Potential impacts include grease/oil runoff from paved parking areas and sand/gravel runoff from winter sanding of roads. The location of accumulated snow piles resulting from plowing will be addressed. The piles will be located such that snowmelt containing grease, oil, silt, sand, and gravel do not impact Middle and Gore Creeks. Any such contaminants discharged to Middle Creek may impair water quality of the creek and potentially impact the fisheries of both Middle and Gore Creeks. Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc. will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. Construction will be in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and standards. If dewatering is required during construction, water will be retained on site. 10. A parking facility is proposed at a location just east of the Mountain Bell structure. Middle Creek lies north and west of this area. Impacts to the riparian corridor and wildlife using the corridor adjacent to Middle Creek will to be minimized. This can be accomplished by constructing the parking area as far as possible from Middle Creek. Drainage issues as previously referenced are also a concern in this area of the site, Engineered drainage swales, berms, dikes, etc, will be incorporated into the project design to prevent impact to Middle Creek. 11. Two displacements will result from implementation of the proposed project. The ABC and the Learning Tree early childhood learning centers will be displaced. The existing buildings will be demolished and new facilities will be constructed at the southeastern portion of the site. State regulations require a full National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) asbestos inspection of the buildings prior to demolition. If the inspection identifies asbestos -containing materials, mitigation (a bateme nt/re m oval) per regulations will be per -formed prior to demolition of the buildings. 2850-001 Environmental Impact Report Page 13 of 14 Middle Creek Village Vail, Colorado Stewart Environmental Consultants, Inc. 0 0 VIII.

This ordinance recognized "that privately -owned automobiles are no longer the primary means of transportation for some people, and well- designed, sustainable site and building plans should not be driven by the need to park vehicles." In addition, this ordinance stated that "the availability of and proximity to mass transit, walkability, bicycle routes, E -bikes and car -sharing are proving to be meaningful criteria to reduce the need for asphalt surface and structured parking lots on scarce land." With these findings, section 12-61-8 of the Vail Town was modified from a parking requirement to a mobility requirement that states the following: 12-61-8: Mobility Mobility for residences shall be provided in accordance with a Mobility Management Plan approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission. A. Mobility Management Plan —A Mobility Management Plan, prepared by the applicant, shall describe how the mobility needs of the residents will be met. This plan shall include: 1. Layout of proposed covered and uncovered parking including applicable dimensions, provisions for stacked parking and compact spaces, if proposed. 2. Information on how proposed parking spaces will be allocated to units and if this allocation is on the form of a deed restriction. 3. A professionally produced parking study, unless a determination is made by the administrator that such study is unnecessary due to the scale and character of the proposal. 4. Existence of any bike or vehicle share/shuttle program 5. Provide covered/protected/secured bike parking/storage 6. Provisions for guest parking/management 7. Seasonal variations in parking management plan 8. Provisions for off-site vehicle storage B. Review Criteria - A Mobility Management Plan shall be reviewed based on the following criteria: 1. Adequate off-street parking is demonstrated for the quantity of proposed beds in relation to the proximity of the development to core services and public transit. a) Hierarchy of bus routes (aka regional vs local) The Residences at Main Vail 2 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 b) Proximity to job centers c) Proximity to commercial area 2. Adequate off-street parking is demonstrated in consideration of other provided mobility options including vehicle share/shuttle programs. 3. Evaluations of proposed Mobility Management Plans shall utilize the parking requirements found in Section 12-10, Off Street Parking and Loading, when considering appropriate minimum off-street parking. The following is the proposed Mobility Management Plan for the Residences at Main Vail ("RMV") multifamily development that has been prepared based on the logic of this ordinance and the new requirements of the Town Code. Residences at Main Vail Overview The language of the ordinance recognizes that automobiles are no longer the primary means of transportation for many people and that proximity to mass transit, walkability, access to bicycle routes, and development plans that accommodate bicycles, a -bikes and car sharing all reduce the need for onsite parking. With a location that is easy walking distance to Vail's commercial villages, on the Town's Frontage Road bike bath, and at the most serviced portion of the West Vail bus line - the Residences at Main Vail is a prime example of a development that can accommodate more units with a parking count that is less than would typically be required by the traditional parking standards of the Town Code. Residence at Main Vail Mobility Management Plan Section 12-61-8 of the Town Code requires the submission of a Mobility Management Plan to be approved by the PEC. In accordance with this section, the applicant presents the following information and Mobility Management Plan: 12-61-8 - A Mobility Management Plan, prepared by the applicant, shall describe how the mobility needs of the residents will be met. The mobility needs of the residents of the Residences at Main Vail will be met with a variety of mobility and transportation options that capitalize on the site's prime location. Walkability The first notable element of the site is its walking/biking/skateboarding proximity to Vail's commercial villages. The site is one-half mile from the Covered Bridge in Vail Village. The Residences at Main Vail 3 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 �f iii; :,• IL { This site is also only two-thirds of a mile from Lionshead Village. 2) O e7 i Miles Measurement Result 0.67 Miles �41 qj Z • r.ryr: . I �y,• rR The Residences at Main Vail 4 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 With so many of Vail's large employers like Vail Resorts, the Town of Vail, Vail Health and most of the Vail's hospitality and outdoor recreation industry within walking distance, many of the residents will be able to easily walk to their employment and outdoor recreation portals. Public Transit The next notable element of the site's location is its immediate proximity to the Town of Vail bus system. The Town of Vail offers its residents and guests one of the largest free bus systems in North America, providing convenient access to almost all areas of the Town - from West Vail to East Vail. The existing Middle Creek bus stop is less than 500' feet from RMV's driveway and is serviced by the West Vail Green, West Vail Red, Sandstone and Lionsridge Loop bus routes. Middl RAMP (WES7BOUNDI The Residences at Main Vail 5 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 These bus routes provide convenient access to the Town's other commercial center in West Vail at least once every 20 minutes during the winter and summer, and once every 30 minutes in the off-season. LIONSRIDGE SANDSTONE LOOP S&,A1Vne C C[A VEST VAIL NORTH Arne v.d FEW 9aebw Bicycle Friendly Location Design Ro SdM0WW RJ6W amu* &HON VAI L TRANSPORTATION CENTER UMTeamuoYl bmC<n-&- FORD Fn The RMV site is also a bike friendly location with adjacency to Vail paved bike path network which runs along the North Frontage Road at the site, as well as recreation opportunities on the Son of Middle Creek trailhead which is nearby to the east. The proposed building's design is bike friendly for both bicycles and e -bikes. The garage level of the plan has covered and lockable bike parking spaces to storge approximately 28 bikes on both wall mounted bike racks. There will be adequate power outlets to allow a -bikes to charge in this area. The plan also includes a bike maintenance area which will include a bike wash and community tuning station on the west end of the garage. This area will be separated from the trash enclosure by solid walls. The Residences at Main Vail 6 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 For residents with more expensive bikes or more interested in security, the second floor of the building will have lockable storage cages that are accessible from an elevator for conveniently conveying the bikes up one level. Private Car and Parking The final and more traditional transportation option for residents is via privately owned vehicles that can be parked onsite. Due to unique location of the project and number of public transportation options available to the residents, the applicant and management company will target households without cars or households with one car per unit at the most. The management company will gather information about whether prospective tenants would like a parking space as part of all lease applications. This will allow the property manager to prioritize tenants who do not have a car — i.e. there will be one waiting list for tenants with cars The Residences at Main Vail 7 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 and one waiting list for tenants without cars. All leases will be explicit that, unless the tenant has a leased parking space, a car is not permitted on the premises or in guest parking spaces. For tenants with cars, each parking spaces will be leased as a separate fee from the unit lease on a space -available basis. All parking spaces will be numbered and signed to allow assignment of a space to a specific tenant. The added expense for a market -rate parking space will be an added effective tool that attracts residents without cars and will incent applicants to not bring a car to Vail. These parking space leases will allow the property manager the flexibility to reassign parking spots in order to more effectively manage the parking lot as residents move in and out of the project. Of the 72 dedicated resident parking spaces, 51 of them a tandem parking spaces. These spaces will be managed in a similar format as the tandem parking spaces at the recently constructed Solar Vail apartments. The property manager will facilitate introductions and tandem parking spaces best practices between residents. The applicant also anticipates that these tandem spaces would lease for lower amount than a dedicated space — letting the market dictate the discount that should be charged for the inconvenience of coordinating tandem parking. Finally, the property manager for RMV will regularly walk the property to ensure that residents are using their assigned space, that guest parking is not used for more than two hours, and that people are not illegally parking in the fire lanes or drive aisles. The property manager will also be available to address people improperly parking in a space that they do not lease. Overnight guests will not be permitted and parking spaces will only be leased to residents of RMV with a signed residential lease. The property manager will also use all commercially reasonable efforts to find a car -sharing partner that would have access to at least two parking spaces at RMV. Proposed Parking Count and Breakdown The parking ratio for the development is in line with other recent Housing District developments in Vail as detailed below. There will be eighty total parking spaces for this 72 - unit development, which breaks down as follows: Parking Spaces Summary: Leased Resident Parking Spaces 15 Minute Delivery/Uber Parking Spaces Guest Parking Spaces Total Parking Spaces The Residences at Main Vail Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 72 (2 ADA) 1 5 2 ADA 80 4SUTo MIDDLE CREEK BUS STOP The applicant also intends to develop the project with two electric vehicle charging spots that will be available immediately, and will incorporate the electrical capacity for up to 28 future electric vehicle charging spots in the building. With a parking ratio of 1.11 parking spaces per unit, RMV is in line with other recent Housing development in the — several of which do not share RMV's pedestrian proximity to the Town's village cores. Each of the below developments were approved under the prior Housing District Parking standards which were not as favorable for reduced parking counts in a development: • Solar Vail - 0.52 ratio • First Chair (75% 4 bedrooms) - 1.0 ratio • Timber Ridge — 1.04 ratio • Lionsridge —1.34 ratio The proposed parking ratio of 1.11 parking spaces per unit is also in excess the required parking identified by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The ITE's Parking Generation Manual states that the average peak period parking demand for a mid -rise apartment in an urban environmental is 0.71 spaces per dwelling unit, or 36% less than the proposed parking for RMV Review of Mobility Criteria 1. Layout of proposed covered and uncovered parking including applicable dimensions, provisions for stacked parking and compact spaces, if proposed. The Residences at Main Vail 9 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 Architectural plan A7.03 shows the parking layout for the development with 80 total parking spaces which are a combination of surface parking and tuck under tandem parking. The plan allows for one parking space per unit, plus guest parking, delivery parking and an allowance for a substantial number of electric vehicle charging spaces. 2. Information on how proposed parking spaces will be allocated to units and if this allocation is on the form of a deed restriction. For tenants with cars, each parking spaces will be leased as a separate fee from the unit lease on a space -available basis. All parking spaces will be numbered and signed to allow assignment of a space to a specific tenant. The added expense for a market -rate parking space will be also an effective tool that attracts residents without cars and will incent applicants to not bring a car to Vail. While there will be one parking space per unit, the applicant does not intend to assign specific parking spaces to specific units at this time. Instead, the parking spaces will be managed and assigned by the property manager via leases. 3. A professionally produced parking study, unless a determination is made by the administrator that such study is unnecessary due to the scale and character of the proposal. See the "Vail Children's Garden Residential Parking Analysis — Affordable Housing Apartments" memo from McDowell Engineering, LLC, dated March 8, 2021. The proposed parking ratio of 1.11 parking spaces per unit exceeds the required parking identified by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The ITE's Parking Generation Manual states that the average peak period parking demand for a mid -rise apartment in an urban environmental is 0.71 spaces per dwelling unit, or 36% less than the proposed parking for RMV. 4. Existence of any bike or vehicle share/shuttle program. The new apartments are conveniently located less than 500 feet from the existing Middle Creek bus stop. 5. Provide covered/protected/secured bike parking/storage The proposed building's design is bike friendly for both bicycles and e -bikes. The garage level of the plan has covered and lockable bike parking spaces to storge approximately 28 bikes on both wall mounted bike racks. There will be adequate power outlets to allow a -bikes to charge in this area. The plan also includes a bike maintenance area which will include a bike wash and community tuning station on the west end of the garage. This area will be separated from the trash enclosure by solid walls. The Residences at Main Vail 10 Mobility Management Plan — May 5, 2021 For residents with more expensive bikes or more interested in security, the second floor of the building will have lockable storage cages that are accessible from an elevator for conveniently conveying the bikes up one level. 6. Provisions for guest parking/management The development plan includes five guest parking spaces, plus ADA spaces available for guests. The property manager for RMV will regularly walk the property to ensure that residents are using their assigned space, that guest parking is not used for more than two hours, and that people are not illegally parking in the fire lanes or drive aisles. The property manager will also be available to address reports of people improperly parking in a space that they do not lease. 7. Seasonal variations in parking management plan. None. 8. Provisions for off-site vehicle storage. None. RMV Mobility Management Plan Conclusion With a prime location that is conveniently walkable to the Town's village areas, a location that has substantial access to the Town's free bus service, a development plan that accommodates the storage and maintenance of bikes and e -bikes, and a parking ratio that is inline or even better than other Town of Vail housing district developments — the Residences at Main Vail 's Mobility Management Plan addresses the mobility needs of its residents and the policy goals set out by the Town of Vail when the new Housing District Code Section was adopted.

Planner Spence says that is not an option, its either all or none. Perez expresses concern of the appearance of impropriety but does not think they need to abstain. Pratt abstains and Phillips remains seated. Planner Spence gives some background on the application, the original CUP application, and the conditions with the original application. Specifically, #6 that requires the applicant come back if enrollment exceeds 300 students, which happened years ago. The main concern is the traffic that is associated with the increased enrollment and the issue that creates. Jamie Walker, Michael Imperi, Kari McDowell, Kelly Young, and Scott Hunn are promoted from the applicant team to present. Imperi gives a short introduction on the school and introduces the team. The school has no intention to increase enrollment, add buildings, or anything else. This is just about changing the CUP number to match with current enrollment. They currently have around 440 students but put 470 in the application to give a cushion even though they have no intention of going above 450 students. Hunn thanks the Town Staff for their help to this point. The school and Town have a mutual interest in updating the CUP and fixing the traffic issue. The school is located in the GU zone district which has standards that are not applicable to this application. He highlights the criteria for the CUP and specifically the traffic related criteria. Walker goes over the timeline from August when it was brought up that the CUP needed to be updated. Goes over meetings with the Town and CDOT that took place to inform the process. Goes over the history of the school from 1962 to present and "Historical Enrollment Milestones". A growth chart that shows enrollment over the years is presented. Young goes over the community partners to the school who are allowed to use the facility in the school year and off season for free or reduced cost. The school allows the use of the lot for overflow skier parking on the weekend and overflow trail parking during the summer. She goes over the existing traffic management and the time frame of the peak traffic concerns. McDowell Schroeder goes over their participation in the study of the traffic in the area. They show a diagram of the proposed traffic alignment of the frontage road that would help to resolve the issue. They still need to get with CDOT on what their requirements would be. They believe it would be beneficial to the school and the Town to do these improvements. Hunn proposes a few improvements, a crosswalk, and a School Zone. A potential speed study may inform the needed design of the area. The reason for the School Zone would be to reduce the speed and hence the length of the turn lanes, which amounts to cost savings. Imperi goes over considerations of what the impacts could be if they had to go forward with the turn lanes. Costs are a major concern for the school. A neighborhood meeting was held prior to today's PEC meeting with limited participation from neighbors. Kurz asks if Spence has anything to add. Spence points towards the staff report recommendation that the application be continued out to allow the applicant to do the studies and find out exactly what the requirements for the traffic improvements would be. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, joins the meeting and goes over some of the work they've done with the applicants. As the frontage road is owned by CDOT the Town has to abide by their regulations for design. The 45 mph speed limit in the area cause a lot of the cost issues. Dropping the speed to 40mph, would cut the turn lane length in almost half. CDOT has control over the speed on the frontage road. CDOT bases their decision on what current car speeds are now, not what the potential speed could be. There are numerous other factors that they consider as well. The largest consideration is what the 851h percentile of current car speeds. If the speed study is done, the result could be an increase in speeds as well. Imperi asks about speeds at the curves in the area. Walker asks about making an appeal to CDOT to lower the speed and if the Town would support that. Tom agrees, but appeal is the wrong term, it would be an application that would require a speed study regardless. Imperi asks for more time to do the appropriate studies. Gillette asks what the trigger is for the turn lanes. Kassmel says it is the amount of traffic out there today. The turning counts on Booth Falls Road are the trigger. Gillette asks if they could stagger drop offs and pickups. Kassmel says that CDOT uses a peak hour metric, so they would have to be staggered outside of an hour to lower the numbers. He lists the numbers per hour that require turn lanes at 45 mph and 40mph, but either way the numbers are over those amounts, so a turn lane will be required. The turn lanes at 40mph are half the length as the turn lanes at 45 mph. He goes over the width of the lanes required and the space available on either side of the frontage road to accommodate those widths. Gillette asks if booth falls could be a right only. Kassmel answers that it would typically require a median in that area. Gillette thinks a right in/right out would make a lot of sense and reduce the congestion. Kassmel says the problem is also partly the backup from the queue for drop-off. The Town was hopeful that this could be designated a School Zone, but it is not up to the Town, it is up to CDOT and they have a process for that designation. CDOT has indicated that if it was a School Zone, they would still have to build the lanes to the speed of the through traffic, not the school zone speed. A variance would still be needed if a School Zone is granted. Kassmel outlines the reasons for asking for a continuation to perform all of the necessary studies and look at the different options. A timeline of 6-12 months would be necessary for review and design. Perez asks if school was in session in October of 2020 when the study was done? Was this done in a similar time that the Booth Heights study was done? Kassmel says they have looked at that study, and they did a traffic study this summer to capture the trailhead study and residential traffic. The school was in session when the October study was done. They can tell from those studies what the difference is between residential and trail traffic and what the school's impact amounts to. Spence asks Kassmel as to when he thinks it is appropriate to bring the PEC back into the conversation about the improvements needed. Kassmel says if the PEC wanted, they could conditionally approve the application with the knowledge that impacts will happen. If the PEC wants to know what the impacts are then they'll need to wait 9-12 months until the true impacts are known. Gillette proposes another possible design option that would mirror the look of the road out front of the grocery stores. There could be a lane for parking during busy times and would be available for skiers and hikers in the off season. Kassmel says he understands the request, but that the turn lanes would most likely be required regardless of the parking. The only reason there are not turn lanes now is that there has not been an application that required improvements. The previous site plan did not increase traffic above 20% so new improvements were not required to be put in. Philips asks about the traffic study that was performed and says it looks like they are barely above the 25 turns for 40mph for about a time of 15 minutes. Is it a full hour that is looked at? Kassmel says it is a peak hour, not a set time limit from 3-4 or similar. The best solution would be to get a school zone designation, then request a variance from CDOT to build the lanes to a 40mph design instead of 45mph. If the speed reduction occurred, that would be the best option, but hesitant that it is possible. Imperi questions why they have a sidewalk when there are not sidewalks along most of the frontage road in the area. Kassmel answers that it was in the transportation plan to add a bike path from the curve to bighorn road and Vail Pass. This was a segment of the path that will at some point be continued to the interchange. Imperi asks if the sidewalk going away is a non-starter? Kassmel answers that the masterplan would require the sidewalk be put back in place with any improvements to the road. Gillette thinks more parking would be a better variance to ask for than turn lanes, as we could use the additional parking while turn lanes would prohibit more parking. Kurz notes that Pratt recused himself due to the fact that he has kids enrolled in that school. Kurz lives in the area and was a member of Council when this was approved. He does not feel that he has a conflict in participating in this discussion. It sounds as if we have overall support that something needs to be done here but does not want to suggest outcomes and will leave that up to the professionals. Recommends that we move forward with CDOT, the School and the Town. Opens it up for Public Input. Kjesbo would like Spence to pull the minutes from the original approval. Kjesbo was on the PEC when it was approved and does not remember why turn lanes was not brought up. He believes turn lanes are inevitable and would strongly recommend we pursue a School Zone to reduce the length of the turn lanes. Glad that VMS reached out to the neighbors on this project. He thinks that Gillette brought up a good point on the parking. Spence would like the PEC to look at different designs after the studies are done. Thinks that an approval without knowing the effects is premature. Kjesbo agrees and would want to wait on approval. Penny Wilson lives on Bald Mountain road and would like to be included on the information and the considerations. They are impacted when trying to leave their neighborhood during peak hours. They would like the opportunity to comment as the process moves forward. John Picciotto also lives off Bald Mountain road and has concerns about how the conversation has revolved around the least impact to the school but would like to consider the impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods. The stakeholders need to include the general community in the decision- making process. Kate Scott has lived behind the mountain school for 25 years. She likes the idea of turn lanes as she is impacted by the traffic. She is not opposed to a reduction on the frontage road if it helps shorten the turning roads. Likes Gillette's parking idea but could result in more accidents due to speeds on frontage road. Wants the PEC to wait until they have all of the information to issue any approvals. No further public comment. Kurz heard the comment that the berm is necessary for safety but wants the school to reconsider that and think of other safety options that would be possible. The area the berm takes up would be valuable when looking at the possible design options. Imperi would like to see a conditional approval but knows the PEC would lean the other way. If they have a preference it would be conditional approval. Perez asks if there is a timeline to solve a conditional use permit violation. Spence answers that we do not have a set time, but that we want to see progress to remedying the situation. Perez asks for an update in a few months on the progress. Gillette asks for how many months they will get an update. Kassmel says six months would be a realistic goal. 2.2. A request for a review of a Floodplain Modification Permit, pursuant to Section 14-6-6, Grading Standards, and Section 12-21-11, Flood Hazard Zones, Vail Town Code, to allow for grading and a modification within the Gore Creek 100 -year floodplain, for the realignment of the Gore Valley Trail, in the vicinity of the Lionshead Ski Yard, located at parcel (210107219003)/Tract B, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0012) 15 min. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Todd Oppenheimer Planner: Jonathan Spence Motion: Approve First: Kjesbo Second: Gillette Vote: 7-0-0 Planner Spence gives an overview of the application and why it is necessary. There is no increase in the base flood elevation, but a map change is necessary. Gillette asks who determines that there is no negative impact downstream. Spence answers that a professional study is done that has that result found. Pratt asks if there is a greater risk of a washout with this pier in the floodplain. Kassmel says that there would not be a risk to a washout as the pier is designed to withstand a 100 year and 500 year flood event. The pier is not all the way in the floodplain either, just on the edge. No public comment. 2.3. A request for a review of a variance from Section 14-6-7, Retaining Walls, Vail Town Code, to allow for a retaining wall in excess of six (6) feet in height and a variance from Section 14-10-4 Architectural Projections, Decks Balconies, Steps, Bay Windows etc., Vail Town Code, to allow an at grade patio and hot tub within the required 7.5' setback, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code, located at 2945 Manns Ranch Road Unit A/Lot 4, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 13, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0013) 2 min. The applicant has requested that this item be tabled to the April 26, 2021 meeting. Applicant: James Guy Cauthorn Trust, represented by Fieldscape Planner: Jonathan Spence Motion: Table to April 26, 2021 First: Gillette Second: Perez Vote: 7-0-0 2.4. A request for review of a Minor Subdivision, pursuant to Title 13, Chapter 4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town Code, to clarify development standards stemming from annexation, located at 1637 Buffehr Creek Road/Lot 1, The Valley Subdivision Phase V, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0014) 20 min. Applicant: 1637 Buffehr LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Erik Gates Motion: Approve with a Condition First: Kjesbo Second: Gillette Vote: 7-0-0 Condition: Prior to the submittal of any application for development on this property, the applicant shall have the approved final plat recorded with the Clerk and Recorder's office of Eagle county, Colorado Planner Gates gives an overview of the project. This is not creating any new lots but adds a note to a plat to clarify zoning standards. The only change would be to allow a single family home to use 4400SF of GRFA on the lot since the PUD would only allow 2200 per unit. Dominic Mauriello of Mauriello Planning Group goes over the request and similar previous approvals. Perez asks for clarification on a statement from Dominic. Dominic goes over some of the other lots in the area and instead of going through the documents in the future to find the standards, they just wanted to put them on the plat. No public input. 2.5. A request for the review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12- 61- 11, Development Plan Required, Vail Town Code, for a new housing development to be located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0015) 45 min. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy Motion: Continue to April 26, 2021 First: Gillette Second: Perez Vote: 7-0-0 This item and item 2.6 were heard concurrently. Planner Roy: Roy opened by stating that this was an introductory meeting and no vote for approval is being requested at this time. He then stated that a development plan, mobility management plan, and variance are required for this proposed project. Roy then explained the existing conditions of the site where currently the Children's Garden of Learning is found. Roy showed the proposed site plan with parking, the housing structure, and landscaping. He went through the development standards and how this project complied with them. Roy next went through the site plans and floor plans. Roy then described the required elements of a mobility management plan. Roy had a list of discussion items for the PEC as well. These related to the mass and scale of the development, the parking, amenities proposed, and the landscaping. The presentation was then turned over to the applicant. George Ruther (Housing Director): Ruther started by describing the history of the proposal and how this development came to be proposed on this site. He explained that housing is a major issue with the town and that the town has partnered with Vail Home Partners in order to address this issue. In 2017 the Vail Town Council adopted the Strategic Housing Plan. A major component of this was to create 1,000 new deed restricted housing units by 2027. He described many of the objectives of this plan and how this project was advancing those goals. He pointed out that this development is only a step in the direction of meeting the Town's housing needs. The goal of this meeting is to receive feedback and concerns from the PEC and to take some time to address the comments, with the intent to return at the next PEC meeting. Mike Foster (Triumph Development): Reiterated the intent to use this meeting as an introduction to the project. The project is 100% deed restricted. Foster then went into the existing conditions and development proposal in detail. The proposal is to access the site through the same entrance that is there today. In reference to the variance for development on steep slopes, he stated that the applicant did not believe it would be a grant of special approval due to the fact that most developments in the area have also had to develop on steep slopes. Foster described the proposed units and floor plans in detail. Units include 2 bedroom/1 bath units, 2 bedroom/ 2 bath units, and 1 bedroom/ 1 bath units. He next described some concern the Fire department had, largely related to fire truck maneuverability, and how they can be addressed. Will Henschel: Spoke to the architecture and design references for the project. Hentschel talked about the grade map for the middle creek development and how the benches on that site influences its development. Also spoke about other nearby employee housing developments such as Solar Vail and First Chair, and then discussed how their designs are similar to what is proposed for Lot 3. Hentschel discussed the livability of the units themselves and amenities on site. Chairman Kurz: Asked if the 2 bedroom/ 1 bath unit type was relevant today. Hentschel: Stated that it was still viable and that he had recently worked on a successful project in Montana with a similar setup. Kurz: Asked if there was only one elevator in the middle of the building. Henschel: Stated that there was and stairways at the ends of the building. Kurz: Expressed some concern with this and felt that it was very minimal. Asked a question about how the underground parking would deal with exhaust. Henschel: Stated that the covered parking was open and should have good venting. This will be addressed further at the building permit stage. Kurz: Stated that he wanted a management plan for the parking. Foster: Stated that this would be present in the next meeting. Commissioner Gillette: Reiterated that there would need to be good evidence that the proposed level of parking could address the needs of the property. Wants to see data on any car sharing plan. Also wants to see a little more evidence on how this project matches the massing of other projects like Middle Creek and First Chair. Commissioner Kjesbo: Stated that he likely won't have any issue with the variance. Asked about traffic impacts to the frontage road. Stated that while Middle Creek is 7 stories, it doesn't look like it due to clever massing. Stated that this project doesn't seem to achieve a similar effect. Thinks that the proposed parking is compromising too much. Commissioner Seibert: Also spoke to the comparison to Middle Creek making this proposal look more imposing than that development. Also expressed concerns with the proposed parking. Commissioner Pratt: Thinks the variance is justified. Wants to see what a proposal that encroaches into the setback would look like. Brought up a public comment that disputed the parking count that was done at Middle Creek and wanted the applicant to respond to that. Had a concern with the snow storage stating that the snow would likely be pushed onto town property and asked if the town was ok with that. Commissioner Perez: Also had concerns with the proposed parking. Stated that other housing developments had bus stops right in front of their development. Also stated that in breaking up the massing as has been suggested to see if there would be an opportunity to add more housing. No public comment Gillette: Asked about a wildlife study for this site. Planner Roy: Stated that one was not required due to a wildlife study having been conducted for the Children's Garden and Middle Creek. Gillette: Stated that he would like one. Ruther: Stated that the planning Administrator hadn't required one but would do one if requested by the PEC. Gillette: Stated that even running the EIR from the current development by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) would suffice. Matt Gennett: Stated that he had reached out to CPW and they had agreed with his determination. Gillette: Wants some kind of review of the existing environmental report from CPW to make that determination. If there is already a report from Middle Creek, then put that in this application if CPW agrees that it is still applicable here. Kurz: Expressed agreement with staff's determination that report is not needed. Pratt: Wants to see how the introduction of dogs would change the environmental study and impact. Commissioner Philips: Expressed some concern with asking for an environmental report on infill development sites. Wondered about what kind of president that would set for future projects. Stated that Booth Heights was a very different project. Gillette: Stated that, again, he would be ok with the previous report being added to the record for this application if CPW agrees. Seibert: Expressed agreement with Kurz and Phillips' comments on the environmental matter. Planner Spence: Asked if the PEC would be requesting any revisions or additional material for the next PEC meeting. Kurz: Stated that he would not need anything new. Perez: Heard from the board that they would want a more in-depth parking management plan, more detail and justification on massing and architecture, and the inclusion of the existing wildlife management plan from the Middle Creek Development Approval. 2.6. A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17-1, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for development in the Housing Zoning District on a slope of forty percent (40%) or greater, located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0016) 45 min. Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy Motion: Continue to April 26, 2021 First: Gillette Second: Perez Vote: 7-0-0 See minutes from item 2.5. 2.7. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a Prescribed Regulations Amendment pursuant to Section 11-3-3, Prescribed Regulations Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Title 11, Sign Regulations, Vail Town Code, in order to reduce content based regulations following the US Supreme Court ruling in Reed v. Town of Gilbert and accompanying changes, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC20-0032) 60 min. 3 Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Erik Gates Motion: Continue to April 26, 2021 First: Kjesbo Second: Gillette Vote: 7-0-0 Planner Gates re -introduced the project and provided an update on questions and concerns expressed at the previous meeting. Gates detailed the background research, outreach, and upcoming reviews by DRB. Gates also talked about the consolidation of certain sign categories and the desire to not alter the signage allotted to individual businesses. Gates discussed the proposed changes to temporary signs including a reduction in sign size and frequency. Gillette offered an idea to require temporary signs to be removed at night. Gates talked about the minimal changes to allotment that would occur with the proposed changes. Additional signage for bowling alleys and movie theaters was discussed including the history of signage for these uses. Gates discussed window signs and changes that occur with the removal of content based sign regulations (hours of operation etc.) Pratt asked about the signage at the welcome center and ski museums where there a window display boxes. Gates stated that he would look further into the approval for these locations. It is possible they were approved through a development plan and were a unique situation. Residential nameplate signs and the minor changes proposed was presented including minor changes to residential directory sign. Construction sign changes were presented. A discussion on appropriate size with a request to reduce the size to 8 square feet in all zone districts. Open house signs were discussed. Gates presented the existing regulations and the proposed changes. Pratt mentioned the content component of the restriction. No public comment. Approval of Minutes 3.1.

Attendance Present: Ludwig Kurz, Karen Perez, Rollie Kjesbo, Brian Gillette, Reid Phillips, Pete Seibert, Henry Pratt Absent: None Main Agenda 2.1. A Report to the Planning and Environmental Commission of an 10 min. administrative action regarding a minor amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 6, Village Inn Plaza, pursuant to Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for modifications to the approved development plan and to increase site coverage, add commercial floor area and expand the plaza area, located at 68 East Meadow Drive, Unit 602 /Lot O, Block 5D, Vail Village Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0011) Applicant: VVIP Commercial LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group Planner: Greg Roy Planner Roy introduced the project by describing the addition of 440 sq ft of floor area. This additional area was added under an existing deck. Roy explained the location of the project within the Village. He also explained that staff added several conditions. 2.2. A request for a review of a variance from Section 14-6-7, Retaining Walls, 20 min. Vail Town Code, to allow for a retaining wall in excess of six (6) feet in height and a variance from Section 14-10-4 Architectural Projections, Decks Balconies, Steps, Bay Windows etc., Vail Town Code, to allow an at grade patio and hot tub within the required 7.5' setback, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code, located at 2945 Manns Ranch Road UnitA/Lot 4, Block 1, Vail Village Filing 13, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0013) Applicant: James Guy Cauthorn Trust, represented by Fieldscape Planner: Jonathan Spence 1. Approval of this variance is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal. 2. Prior to submitting for building permit, the applicant shall provide an executed agreement to run with the property that outlines maintenance protocol. 3. Prior to submitting for building permit, the applicant shall amend the plans to demonstrate the required 2' offset from the property line. Karen Perez joined at this point in the meeting. Planner Spence introduced the project by showing the location of the variance and the history of the proposal which involved a greater variance request. Spence showed a number of photos illustrating the existing conditions of the patio and retaining walls. The retaining wall height variance is no longer being requested after internal discussions with staff and the applicant. Staff is supportive of the setback variance. There are also some landscaping improvements proposed on the adjacent property. The adjacent property has signed off on the application. Commissioner Gillette: Expressed some concern over the impact of this proposal when the owners change. Chairman Kurz echoed this concern. Spence: Recommended that the existing owners make a written maintenance agreement. Ric Fields: Stated that a maintenance easement will be established. Gillette: Asked a question about a previous similar project Commissioner Kjesbo: Asked a clarification question about the Town not entering into these private agreements. Spence: Stated that the Town does not enter into the agreement but can recommend that an agreement is made. Spence: Stated that the proposal will still need DRB approval Commissioner Pratt: Expressed concern over a drawing that does not show the retaining wall 2 ft off of the property line, as was stated in the presentation. Fields: Stated that the drawings would be updated to address this in the DRB and later approvals. No Public Comment Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.3. A request for the review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61- 60 min. 11, Development Plan Required, Vail Town Code, for a new housing development to be located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0015) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy Planner Roy explained that this was the second time this project has come before the PEC and that the applicant is not requesting approval at this meeting. Roy next gave a brief overview of the project and the existing conditions. He explained changes that have occurred since the last meeting including a reduction in building height and additional parking. The updated proposal also includes a number of tandem parking spaces. Roy showed diagrams representing the proposed changes to the roof forms. Roy also explained that staff only received the updated drawings on the previous Thursday and has not had the opportunity to review in full. Mike Foster: Explained the location of the proposed bike storage and maintenance area. He then discussed the updated parking plan. The parking has increased from 55 spaces to 83 spaces. He discussed a previous concern raised by the PEC regarding needed changes to the frontage road. From discussions with Public Works it was determined that no changes to the frontage road will be needed. Next Foster discussed the snow storage plan. Then he discussed the new roof forms and the massing of the project. He stated that a little more work is still needed on some of the elevations. Will Hentschel: Will started by reviewing the criteria for the Housing District. He discussed the updated architecture of the project including providing some more detail on the berm proposed for the front of the property. W ill next discussed issues raised by the DRB. Stepping the development up the hill was stated to be very difficult due to the steep slopes further back on the site. Will discussed the architecture and character of the proposed project in relation to similar adjacent projects in detail. He next moved on to discussing the scale of the project and how it is similar to that of First Chair and Solar Vail. He discussed the building in relation to the hillside and spoke to how Middle Creek was able to develop on more of a bench. This site has consistent steep slopes behind the proposed building. He discussed the amenities such as outdoor spaces, laundry, storage, and a community room. Michael O'Connor: Started by discussing the outdoor space in detail and its functionality for residence. He discussed buffering from other properties. Michael next spoke to the vehicular and pedestrian circulation, this included the mobility management plan. He discussed how the parking spaces will be allocated and leased, the parking study conducted by McDowell Engineering, a comparison between this project's parking ratio and similar town project's parking ratios, and the presence of a nearby bus stop and spaces for car -sharing vehicles. Michael reiterated the difficulty and impact of developing further into the steep slopes. Commissioner Perez: Asked for some clarification on the interplay between parking and snow storage proposed. These are individual requirements and so a tradeoff is not the intention of the district. Also asked a question about the assigned spaces. O'Connor: Stated that with the assigned spaces they have a parking ratio of 1.04 spaces per unit. Perez: Stated that Solar Vail had a shuttle service as part of their approval and that First Chair is already in the Village where most employees would work. Wants to make sure parking analysis is comparing apples to apples. Commissioner Phillips: Stated that First Chair is not near the Lionshead parking structure. Also wants to make sure the PEC is thinking creatively about the environmental impacts of this proposal. Expressed some concern with overparking and not encouraging enough multimodal transit. Being too car -centric is not forward thinking. Doesn't make sense to shoot down housing for parking. Perez: Stated that the current issue is that the PEC can't approve too many "floating" parking spaces. Wants a clear count of what parking is consistently available. Gillette: A mobility plan needs to justify its number of parking spaces its replacing. Not everything that tenants need can be done in the Village. The mobility management plan needs more detail on car -sharing spaces and bus transit and how these will address needs of tenants outside the Village. Kurz: The most critical component of the discussion so far appears to be the mobility management plan. Asked if the applicant is proposing full time on- site management of the parking. O'Connor: Stated that one of the units is designed so that it can be converted into an on-site management office. Also stated that the Triumph office is just across the roundabout on the other side of the freeway at this time. Gillette: Wants to see some more detailed site plans and topography on the site slopes. Stated that the east elevation needs more work. Wants to see full level staggering with the roof form. Need more detail on fenestrations and railing. Thinks that the solar panels will create snow shedding issues. Has some concern with the bike storage and the proximity of the bike maintenance to the trash area. Doesn't like adding trellises. Asked if there was an existing trail on the site and that this should be enhanced and not lost if it is there. Reiterated needing more detail in the parking management plan.

INTRODUCTION The attached presentation provides an overview of the working draft of the West Vail Master Plan. The West Vail Master Plan describes how the neighborhood might transform over the coming years. Conversations with the community and analysis of on the ground conditions turned into a vision for what West Vail could and should be. This plan tells the story of that vision, breaks it down into discrete goals, and offers a set of recommendations and strategies on how to get there. As a practical planning tool, the plan will serve as a guide for the Town of Vail as it considers housing policy and future land use changes as well as upgrades to transportation infrastructure. The plan's strategies and recommendations are informed by a robust public engagement process conducted over the course of one year (Spring 2020 — Spring 2021). To complement insights gained from this process, this plan draws on economic and demographic data, an analysis of current transportation and traffic data, and a review of the existing land use plan and zoning regulations with consideration of their implications. To support desired changes in West Vail, the recommendations in this plan are intended to be both inspiring and attainable. For example, the plan's recommendations for redeveloping the commercial area take the financial incentives for property owners to update or redevelop their properties into account. Some of the recommendations in the plan can be achieved in the short-term, while others will require sustained collaboration and effort over time. Importantly, this plan seeks to build upon West Vail's past successes, retaining policies and infrastructure that serve the community. II. BACKGROUND The creation and adoption of a master plan for West Vail is a Town Council 2018-2020 Action Plan goal. This master plan is in keeping with the council's intentions around thorough community engagement, sustainable best practices for future development, identification of housing opportunities, and fostering economic development to create vibrancy. The plan also addresses the many nonconforming uses and structures in West Vail and provides policy options to guide future development decisions in West Vail. This plan builds on the work of other plans adopted in Vail, including the Vail 2020 Strategic Action Plan (2006), the Vail Town Council Action Plan 2018-20, the Vail Land Use Plan (2009), Vail Housing 2027, the Vail Economic Development Strategic Plan, the Chamonix Master Plan, the Vail Transportation Master Plan, the Vail Civic Area Plan, the Vail Open Lands Plan (2018), and the Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan. These plans reflect the Town's goals to foster a year-round community and economy that prioritizes environmental sustainability and contains housing opportunities for residents of varying income levels. The recommendations of the West Vail Master Plan reflect and complement these Town -wide goals. The study area is approximately 262 acres and bordered by West Gore Creek Drive to the south, Cortina Lane, and Garmisch Drive to the north, Buffehr Creek Road to the east and Arosa Drive to the west. The project area was determined by Town staff, the consultant team, and Council. The plan will also consider connections from West Vail to local destinations outside of the project area and West Vail's role within the Town. Study Area Town of Vail Page 2 III. SUMMARY Staff and members of the consultant team, led by Gabby Voeller from SE Group, will give the presentation to the PEC. ACTION REQUESTED BY PEC Staff asks the Planning and Environmental Commission to review the presentation and provide feedback during the meeting.

Prior to submitting for building permit, the applicant shall amend the plans to demonstrate the required 2' offset from the property line. Karen Perez joined at this point in the meeting. Planner Spence introduced the project by showing the location of the variance and the history of the proposal which involved a greater variance request. Spence showed a number of photos illustrating the existing conditions of the patio and retaining walls. The retaining wall height variance is no longer being requested after internal discussions with staff and the applicant. Staff is supportive of the setback variance. There are also some landscaping improvements proposed on the adjacent property. The adjacent property has signed off on the application. Commissioner Gillette: Expressed some concern over the impact of this proposal when the owners change. Chairman Kurz echoed this concern. Spence: Recommended that the existing owners make a written maintenance agreement. Ric Fields: Stated that a maintenance easement will be established. Gillette: Asked a question about a previous similar project Commissioner Kjesbo: Asked a clarification question about the Town not entering into these private agreements. Spence: Stated that the Town does not enter into the agreement but can recommend that an agreement is made. Spence: Stated that the proposal will still need DRB approval Commissioner Pratt: Expressed concern over a drawing that does not show the retaining wall 2 ft off of the property line, as was stated in the presentation. Fields: Stated that the drawings would be updated to address this in the DRB and later approvals. No Public Comment Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve with conditions. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.3. A request for the review of a Development Plan, pursuant to Section 12-61- 60 min. 11, Development Plan Required, Vail Town Code, for a new housing development to be located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC21-0015) Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy Planner Roy explained that this was the second time this project has come before the PEC and that the applicant is not requesting approval at this meeting. Roy next gave a brief overview of the project and the existing conditions. He explained changes that have occurred since the last meeting including a reduction in building height and additional parking. The updated proposal also includes a number of tandem parking spaces. Roy showed diagrams representing the proposed changes to the roof forms. Roy also explained that staff only received the updated drawings on the previous Thursday and has not had the opportunity to review in full. Mike Foster: Explained the location of the proposed bike storage and maintenance area. He then discussed the updated parking plan. The parking has increased from 55 spaces to 83 spaces. He discussed a previous concern raised by the PEC regarding needed changes to the frontage road. From discussions with Public Works it was determined that no changes to the frontage road will be needed. Next Foster discussed the snow storage plan. Then he discussed the new roof forms and the massing of the project. He stated that a little more work is still needed on some of the elevations. Will Hentschel: Will started by reviewing the criteria for the Housing District. He discussed the updated architecture of the project including providing some more detail on the berm proposed for the front of the property. W ill next discussed issues raised by the DRB. Stepping the development up the hill was stated to be very difficult due to the steep slopes further back on the site. Will discussed the architecture and character of the proposed project in relation to similar adjacent projects in detail. He next moved on to discussing the scale of the project and how it is similar to that of First Chair and Solar Vail. He discussed the building in relation to the hillside and spoke to how Middle Creek was able to develop on more of a bench. This site has consistent steep slopes behind the proposed building. He discussed the amenities such as outdoor spaces, laundry, storage, and a community room. Michael O'Connor: Started by discussing the outdoor space in detail and its functionality for residence. He discussed buffering from other properties. Michael next spoke to the vehicular and pedestrian circulation, this included the mobility management plan. He discussed how the parking spaces will be allocated and leased, the parking study conducted by McDowell Engineering, a comparison between this project's parking ratio and similar town project's parking ratios, and the presence of a nearby bus stop and spaces for car -sharing vehicles. Michael reiterated the difficulty and impact of developing further into the steep slopes. Commissioner Perez: Asked for some clarification on the interplay between parking and snow storage proposed. These are individual requirements and so a tradeoff is not the intention of the district. Also asked a question about the assigned spaces. O'Connor: Stated that with the assigned spaces they have a parking ratio of 1.04 spaces per unit. Perez: Stated that Solar Vail had a shuttle service as part of their approval and that First Chair is already in the Village where most employees would work. Wants to make sure parking analysis is comparing apples to apples. Commissioner Phillips: Stated that First Chair is not near the Lionshead parking structure. Also wants to make sure the PEC is thinking creatively about the environmental impacts of this proposal. Expressed some concern with overparking and not encouraging enough multimodal transit. Being too car -centric is not forward thinking. Doesn't make sense to shoot down housing for parking. Perez: Stated that the current issue is that the PEC can't approve too many "floating" parking spaces. Wants a clear count of what parking is consistently available. Gillette: A mobility plan needs to justify its number of parking spaces its replacing. Not everything that tenants need can be done in the Village. The mobility management plan needs more detail on car -sharing spaces and bus transit and how these will address needs of tenants outside the Village. Kurz: The most critical component of the discussion so far appears to be the mobility management plan. Asked if the applicant is proposing full time on- site management of the parking. O'Connor: Stated that one of the units is designed so that it can be converted into an on-site management office. Also stated that the Triumph office is just across the roundabout on the other side of the freeway at this time. Gillette: Wants to see some more detailed site plans and topography on the site slopes. Stated that the east elevation needs more work. Wants to see full level staggering with the roof form. Need more detail on fenestrations and railing. Thinks that the solar panels will create snow shedding issues. Has some concern with the bike storage and the proximity of the bike maintenance to the trash area. Doesn't like adding trellises. Asked if there was an existing trail on the site and that this should be enhanced and not lost if it is there. Reiterated needing more detail in the parking management plan. Commissioner Seibert: Wants something more to break up the north elevation. Asked a question about the electric vehicle spots and how easy they would be to add to in the future. Commissioner Pratt: Wants an explanation of the difference between the reported parking used from Middle Creek management and the reported parking used at Middle Creek from the applicant. Thinks the trash is in a better location but wants to see turning motions for a garbage truck accessing it. Wants the applicant to think more about the location of a generator. Kurz: Echoed Pratt's desire to explain the difference in reported parking use at Middle Creek. Kjesbo: Stated that the applicant had addressed many of the issues. Thinks parking should not be limited to a specific unit. Asked about guest parking. Likes the storage units and the new location of the trash enclosure. No public comment. Kurz: Mentioned a letter comment that is part of the record. Karen Perez moved to continue to May 10, 2021. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). 2.4. A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-21-10 Development Restricted, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17-1, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for development in the Housing Zoning District on a slope of forty percent (40%) or greater, located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision Resub Lot 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
