Subject: I-70 Noise Update
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this session is to provide the Vail Town Council with information
concerning the noise impacts from Interstate 70.
This includes:
Previous recommendations on I – 70 Noise Mitigation Program
Provide a current update and progress from some of the recommendations from
2008
II. BACKGROUND
Interstate 70 is under a federal facility. The rules governing the road management falls
under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance for roadway systems. The
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is responsible with administration the
interstate rules. The state DOT is also governed by the Colorado State Statues
regarding transportation facilities. FHWA has prescriptive guidelines regarding noise
generated from its transportation facility. Colorado Department of Transportation has
adopted certain aspects of the noise mitigation requirements of the interstate
In 2004, the Town contracted with Hankard Environmental to provide consulting
services as a part of a comprehensive effort to study how to reduce the impact of
highway noise from I-70. In 2008, Hankard Environmental and staff provided an update
on the Noise Mitigation Study and recommendations. The following are
recommendations from the 2008 update and progress to date on the items.
RECOMMENDATIONS BY HANKARD ENVIRONMENTAL
Source Controls
June 15, 2021 - Page 6 of 158
A. Quiet Pavements
Research and testing of “quiet pavements” is ongoing in Europe, at the Federal
level in the U.S., and within CDOT. The research is aimed at determining if
certain asphalt pavements produce less noise than others, if the reduction lasts
over time, and if the pavements are as durable as those currently in use. Results
to date indicate that certain pavements (Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA), open-
graded friction course (OGFC), rubberized, and others such as NovaChip) could
provide a noise reduction of 2 to 4 dBA versus CDOT’s typical Superpave mix, at
least initially. However, the issues of the longevity of this reduction, and of
durability are not as completely understood. Based on research and testing
conducted by CDOT and others, the lowest noise levels are achieved when a
small aggregate size is used in the asphalt mix design.
CDOT has currently committed to using a SMA mix for use on the next
scheduled I-70 overlay project through Vail. It is also recommended that Vail
continue to work with CDOT, our congressional delegation and the private sector
on innovative pavement types as a solution to I-70 noise.
CDOT completed the I-70 overlay from mile post 172 to 180 in 2008 with a
SMA mix and initial noise readings showed a 2-3 dBA reduction from
previous measurements. No updated measurements have been performed.
2020 I-70 overlay from mile post 173 to 180 installed with standard mix.
Pavement type is not considered as a noise mitigation measure. Research
studies indicate that open-graded asphalt pavements, when first placed,
reduce noise by 2-5 decibels. However, after six months to 2 years,
aggregate becomes polished and voids in the pavement fill, so noise
reduction benefits are lost.
Path Controls
A. Path Mitigation by Area
The major emphasis of the final report was the identification, modeling and
results of proposed path mitigation along the I-70 corridor through Vail. The
results of this work will be presented at the next council meeting. The results
however, show that barriers do not provide as much protection as originally
envisioned. Hankard Environmental has analyzed the following barriers, 3-foot
tall Type 7 rail, 8 and 10-foot tall steepened slope barrier, and 15 and 20-foot tall
noise walls to predict the amount of noise reduction from each type of barrier for
areas along I-70. The amount of noise reduction that a barrier will achieve is the
result of the relationship between the height of the barrier with respect to the
June 15, 2021 - Page 7 of 158
surrounding topography, relative location of all roads and receivers, ground type,
and traffic conditions.
The project budget was eliminated; no noise wall demonstration project
was conducted.
Sandstone Underpass project determined that noise walls were reasonable
and feasible per FHWA regulations but were voted against installing noise
walls by more than 50% of the benefited receptors.
CDOT I-70 Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project noise study determined that
noise walls are reasonable and feasible per FHWA regulations for the
neighborhood located along Fall Line Dr. The study conducted by CDOT
determined that noise walls along the rest of the corridor were not
reasonable and feasible or fall below the min 66 dBA (existing and future)
threshold for evaluation.
Feasibility is defined as; Can a substantial noise reduction be achieved
with a barrier, are there any “fatal flaw” safety or maintenance issues and
can a noise barrier less than 20 feet tall be constructed. Reasonableness is
defined as; Can the mitigation reduce the noise level by 7 dBA for at least
one receptor, will the cost of mitigation be less than $6,800 per benefited
receptor per dBA reduction and do at least 50% of the benefiting
residents/owners favor the noise mitigation
Field noise measurements were taken at 20 separate locations within the
noise study zone (500 feet from edge of I-70) and ranged from 49.8 to 77.9
dBA. Existing (2017) modeled noise levels range from 50.5 to 73.4 dBA at
69 receivers, which represent 202 receptors. Future modeled noise levels
for the future (2045) No Action and Proposed Action range from 52.8 to 75.8
dBA and 54.1 to 76.2 dBA respectively.
B. Continue to Exhaust Berming Opportunities
Berms require a footprint of 40 to 90 feet to accommodate a 10-foot tall berm.
Review of I-70 through Vail indicates that there are still areas where
earthen/sand storage berming can be built and would provide some noise
reduction. These areas are generally located east of the golf course.
In a jointly funded project between the Town, CDOT, ERWSD and the Bald
Mountain neighborhood, utilities have been relocated to facilitate
continuation of the west phase of the sand disposal site. CDOT anticipates
completing the east phase in 2014 and begin the west phase in 2015.
Berm at the Bald Mountain neighborhood should be completed end of
2021. Grading plans are underway for additional berming west of the Bald
Mountain Townhomes
June 15, 2021 - Page 8 of 158
C. Cover I-70
According to Hankard this alternative should always be considered, because
it offers the best noise reduction of any recommended measure. Placing I-70
in a cut-and-cover tunnel through all or part of Town would certainly be a
significant, complex, expensive project. It should be noted that tunnels require
full-time staff and equipment, thus have a high recurring cost. If the proposed
I-70 Dowd Canyon tunnel comes to fruition, the challenge of providing full
time staff and equipment may be eased by the proximity of that tunnel facility
to one in Vail.
Lacking a Dowd Canyon tunnel, Hankard recommends consideration of
shorter, multiple tunnels that may not require fully staffed tunnel facilities.
This could be accomplished by placing developments over the highway
consisting of one or more buildings along with some extended plaza-like
space. These could be placed in critical noise areas. This would also provide
a north-south connection for pedestrians. Care would need to be taken
regarding noise from the portals. A second alternative to the cut/cover
concept of I-70 in its current location is the possibility of relocating I-70 via
tunnel to another location. Initial looks at this concept has produced favorable
results. A full tunnel feasibility study evaluating short versus long tunnels,
safety, and life cycle cost issues would be the next step if Vail wants to
pursue covering I-70. CDOT/FHWA have been wary of significant
development over live traffic lanes based on 9/11 type potential threats.
Initial tunnel report completed. CDOT Executive Director and Chief
Engineer attended council meeting in fall of 2018.
Receiver Controls
A. Advise Residents on Do-It-Yourself Noise Control Solution
Individual property owners can reduce noise at their homes and businesses by
constructing small barriers (berms and/or walls), placing outdoor use areas such
as patios in more quiet parts of their property, installing acoustic windows in
select locations, and otherwise sealing the highway side of their homes. We
recommend that Hankard Environmental develop a brief how-to document that
can be made available to townspeople (i.e. distributed, placed on website, etc.)
The town of Vail produced an educational brochure for residents use and
conducted free Noise Audits of residents in summer of 06. Staff and
Hankard Environmental conducted 8 requested audits.
B. Strengthen Design Review Process
Hankard recommends Vail require new developments and re-developments
along I-70 to consider noise at the very earliest stages of design. Outside
recreation areas should be somehow shielded from the highway. Inside areas
June 15, 2021 - Page 9 of 158
should be specified with adequate windows and mechanical cooling systems be
installed to avoid the need to open windows during warm months to cool the
interior spaces. Exposed decks facing the highway should be avoided. Hankard
has drafted some guidelines for the Town’s consideration. This is critical to the
potential redevelopment of Timber Ridge, Roost Lodge and the West Vail Master
Plan area.
Chamonix Master Plan these issues were brought to the attention of the
design team and were considered in the site layout and building
construction techniques recommended. Simba Run retrofitted the windows
throughout the complex. Other notable projects where noise mitigation
suggested, Lot 3, Marriott Residence Inn, Solar Vail, W. Vail Master Plan
and Booth Heights.
III. STAFF CONTINUED ACTIONS
Staff to continue working with CDOT to facilitate use of “quiet” asphalt in all
future asphalt work in Vail.
Continue use of sand storage berms along I-70 in Vail and work to obtain
approvals from private property owners to expand the sand storage berm
project onto private properties, where feasible.
Continue 65 Max Campaign.
Continue to address noise mitigation as a major focus of the I-70 PEIS, and
the proposed Vail Pass Environmental Assessment (EA).
Continue to have the Town of Vail heavily involved with the I-70 corridor
coalition.
Work with interested parties to further test the waters on the ultimate long
term solution of either cut/cover I-70 or relocate I-70.

Subject: 65 Max Campaign, an Education and Enforcement Traffic Safety Strategy on I-70
– 10 year update
Council Members,
An education and enforcement campaign effort on Interstate 70, known as the 65 Max
Campaign, was introduced in April 2004. The implementation, aimed at increasing road safety
and reducing highway noise, has proven to be a success. Enforcement efforts to reduce speed
on the Interstate focus on officers citing drivers with above average speeds. In 2013, the
average ticket was for 83 mph, a decrease from 2004 when the average cited speed was 86
mph.
As of 2013, the Vail Police Department has spent 14,301 hours of dedicated patrol during the 10
years on I-70 actively enforcing moving traffic violations such as speeding, careless driving,
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving under revocation and excessive noise
violations. An officer was added to the Department’s staffing in 2004 to create additional I-70
enforcement time, but in 2010 that position was unfunded, due to the recession. The number of
accidents on I-70 has remained fairly consistent during these 10 years. The number of crashes
is due to adverse winter road and driving conditions, more than any other factor.
Another component of the 65 Max Campaign, is to decrease the noise emitted from the
commercial trucks traveling on the Interstate. Based on Vail Police Officers utilizing hand-held
noise meters, we have not found any trucks exceeding the allowable decibel level on the
Interstate. During the 6 years we have accurately tracked truck stops, we have cited 105
commercial vehicles and warned 103 commercial vehicles.
We are also having an effect on commercial drivers’ speed and driving behavior just by our
mere presence on the Interstate. The truck drivers’ CB radios become very active alerting all
truckers to our presence. Based on this, we use another traffic safety strategy of placing a
Speed Awareness Mannequin aka SAM, in a decoy vehicle parked at the emergency
turnarounds to slow cross country travelers and truckers.
An additional traffic safety strategy is the use of electronic variable speed limit signs at both the
chain up and chain down areas in Vail. The speed limit in these areas may be reduced by
CDOT from 65 mph to 55 mph when the chain law is in effect. These areas are actively
patrolled by both Colorado State Patrol and the Vail Police Department and the decrease in
speed limit has been enforced along with better chain station management.

Noise Presentation for Town of Vail Council Meeting
By Rose Waldman, Colorado Department of Transportation, Noise Program Manager
June 15, 2021
Federal Noise Regulation for Noise Barriers
1. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) builds highway noise barriers as a result of
Federal regulation (Title 23 Code of Federal Regulation Part 772)
2. Noise barriers are also built by private developers, local government agencies, and private
citizens.
3. CDOT only builds noise barriers as follows:
a. CDOT must plan to do a construction project; the project is classified as Type I or Type III.
b. Type I projects trigger noise analyses, which determine if the project will impact any
receptors (e.g., homes, schools, parks). "Impact" is defined as:
i. Specific noise levels for different types of receptors OR
ii. Noise increase ≥10 decibels from existing conditions to 20 years in future
c. Impacted receptors result in evaluation of noise barriers.
d. Barrier evaluation consists of checks for feasibility and reasonableness. Barriers must be
feasible and reasonable to be recommended and built.
i. Feasibility has to do with constructability. This primarily deals with engineering
considerations (e.g., can a barrier be built given the topography of the location; can
a substantial noise reduction be achieved given certain access, drainage, safety, or
maintenance requirements; are other predominating noise sources present in the
area). In addition, a barrier of 20 feet high or less must reduce noise by at least 5
decibels for at least three receptors.
ii. Reasonableness has to do with socio-economic factors and must meet the following
three criteria: (1) The barrier must reduce noise by at least 7 decibels for at least
two receptors. (2) The barrier must cost no more than $34,000 per receptor. (3) At
least 50 percent of the receptors that will benefit from the barrier must be in favor
of the barrier being built.
Colorado State Noise Wall Regulation and Associated CDOT Guidance
1. Colorado Revised Statute (C.R.S.) 43-2-401 through 43-2-404 (Noise Mitigation) and Code of
Colorado Regulations (CCR), 2 CCR 601-17 (Rules Regarding the Use of Waste Tires for Noise
Mitigation Purposes Along Colorado State Highways Pursuant to § 43-2-401 C.R.S.) contain
requirements for citizens who want to build non-CDOT, non-federally funded noise barriers on
state highway right-of-way (ROW).
June 15, 2021 - Page 14 of 158
Page 2 of 2
2. Appendix D of CDOT’s 2020 Noise Analysis and Abatement Guidelines establishes consistent
criteria regarding applications by applicants and application evaluation by CDOT for these noise
barriers.
3. Applicability: The C.R.S. and CCR define who can apply as “a homeowner or renter residing in an
eligible area, or the operator of a temporary housing facility or public housing facility located in
an eligible area”
4. Eligible Area: The C.R.S. and CCR defines an area with three criteria:
a. “Is located adjacent to a state highway;
b. Existed as a residential area before the state highway was constructed or widened; and
c. Is located within the boundaries of a local government that, as of the date of the
application, has adopted an ordinance or resolution to mitigate the effects of noise in future
residential or other noise-sensitive development adjacent to the state highways within the
boundaries of the local government.”
5. Petition: Must be signed by members of no less than 75% of households in an eligible area who
live no more than 4/10ths of one mile from the nearest edge of ROW of the state highway
6. Other requirements include:
a. Must have barrier maintenance agreements between applicants and applicable local
governmental agency as well as an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between CDOT and
applicable local governmental agency
b. Costs associated with the noise barrier application, construction, and maintenance, which
include all studies and engineering design, are the responsibility of the applicant.
c. Potential barrier must meet same requirements as barriers built by CDOT under 23 CFR 772
d. Applications are subject to approval by CDOT and, if on the interstate highway system, by
Federal Highway Administration

To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) and Public Works
RE: Proposal for Construction of Pepi’s Plaza (proposed designation name)
Date: June 15, 2021
I. SUMMARY
The two-year anniversary of Pepi Gramshammer Day will be celebrated Friday, August 26,
2021. Cultural Heritage Committee (CHC) staff has been having some discussion with the
Gramshammer family around the creation of a memorial at the corner of Gore Creek Drive
and Bridge Street, across the street from Pepi’s Restaurant. Town Council is asked to
review the proposal and provide input and direction to the committee about the following:
• the location at Bridge Street and Gore Creek Drive, see rendering below,
• the design of the newly landscaped location,
• the name designation of Pepi’s Plaza,
• the costs, which is currently not budgeted.
II. BACKGROUND
Pepi Gramshammer’s life was celebrated at the Gerald Ford Amphitheater on September
20, 2019, with the gathering to remember him as an iconic ski racer, hotelier, and one who
contributed to Vail’s success. The Town Council has indicated preliminary support for
honoring his legacy.
III. PEPI’S PLAZA PROPOSAL
The Town Council is asked to provide input and direction on the following components of the
proposal to honor his legacy:
Memorial Rendering

Town of Vail Page 2
• the location at Bridge Street and Gore Creek Drive was chosen by the Gramshammer
family and members of the CHC who have walked the area and have identified this as a
preferred location.
• the design of the stone slab honoring Pepi’s legacy is comprised of a vertical sandstone
slab approximately 4’ in height with the shape of a rough mountain silhouette at the top.
The slab is engraved with the words “Pepi’s Plaza” with an inset iconic photograph of
Pepi as a young ski racer. The vertical slab is set amongst a group of boulders which
match other boulders in the area.
• the name designation of Pepi’s Plaza was proposed by the Gramshammer family.
• the costs, which is currently not budgeted, are estimated below:
The mason and stone supplier have offered a donation of almost $6K if the installation
would include a small donation plaque on the back side of the slab Staff proposed the
Cultural Heritage Committee make a recommendation on a policy about these kinds of
suggestions prior to finalizing a decision.
IV. NEXT STEPS
AIPP Coordinator, Molly Eppard, will review the proposal with the Art In Public Place Board
members for the image reproduction and final plaque design. Public Works will oversee the
project which would be slated to start this fall. The Cultural Heritage Committee would
propose the town’s official dedication to coincide with the Pepi Gramshammer Day in
August.
V. ACTION REQUESTED
The Town Council is asked to provide input and direction about the proposal for Pepi’s
Plaza. If there is support, the town council is asked to direct staff to include the budget of
$20K in the second reading of supplemental budget ordinance on July 6.

Subject: Municipal Website Redesign – vailgov.com
I. SUMMARY
Staff will present information on the upcoming launch of the re-designed vailgov.com website.
II. BACKGROUND
Websites are one of the most effective and well-known means of communicating with residents,
visitors, and other people that are interested in our town. Over time, portions of the existing
vailgov.com site have become a bit stale, in large part because it is difficult to update content
and requires personnel with special skills and training to do this work. In fact, while we have
stayed up to date on critical security updates on our website framework, it’s been over 8 years
since we did a major re-design of the website. This combination of factors made it evident that
a shift in strategy around our websites was in order.
Fortunately, advancements in technology have made it much easier to manage the content of
websites, and numerous vendors are available to provide hosting and software to do just that.
By changing our platform, we will empower each department to manage the content of their web
pages directly, preventing the unnecessary delays that we see today. Along with that internal
benefit, the new website framework will ensure that our sites meet all ADA and security
requirements, items that require significant manual attention in our current setup. And finally,
the new site provides more intuitive navigation, as well as improved search capabilities.
Project Timeline
• January-February 2020 – internal interviews with all departments
• March-May 2020 – vendor demos and selection
• June-July 2020 – contract negotiations with Granicus
• August-September 2020 – Kickoff and home page wireframe
• October-December 2020 – Design
• January-April 2021 – Build staging environment
• May-June 2021 – review website functionality and update content
• June 21, 2021 – Launch!

From: Commander Ryan Kenney
Operations
Subject: Electric Bikes
Electronic bikes (e-bikes) have become increasingly popular in the past several years. The Town
of Vail (TOV) has addressed e-bikes usage in Town Code 7-4-5, which states:
1. “A person may operate a Class 1 or 2 electric assisted bicycle, with the motor activated,
on any bicycle and pedestrian path in the Town. Class 3 electric assisted bicycles are
prohibited on all bicycle and pedestrian paths.”
Class 1: An electric bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider
is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles
per hour.
Class 2: An electric bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the
bicycle, and that is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20
miles per hour.
Class 3: An electric bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider
is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 miles
per hour. Additionally, a speedometer is required on class 3 bikes.
2. Prohibited areas where it is unlawful for a person to operate an electric assisted bicycle
with the motor activated in or on the following:
a. Vail Nature Center.
b. Betty Ford Alpine Garden.
c. Village Streamwalk
d. Children's playgrounds.
e. Turf areas or soft-surface trails.
f. Natural/unimproved areas; or
g. Sidewalks that are not part of a designated bicycle and pedestrian path.
June 15, 2021 - Page 70 of 158
Town of Vail Page 2
3. All electric assisted bicycles operated in the Town shall be equipped with audible
warning devices, and
4. For purposes of operation, parking, and equipment, electric assisted bicycles shall be
considered bicycles and shall be subject to the provisions and regulations concerning
bicycles contained in Article XVII of the 1977 Model Traffic Code, although e-bikes
were not considered in this version of the code. This includes but is not limited to:
a. yielding to pedestrians
b. obeying all traffic laws
c. operating at a speed that is reasonable and prudent under the conditions then
existing, and
d. between sunset and sunrise – operate with a front and rear lamp.
E-bike speeds are regulated by current traffic laws as well as all other applicable traffic laws. In
pedestrian areas not covered by speed limits, e-bikes are held to a 7 MPH limit. We researched
several other mountain towns and found that 7 MPH was a common speed limit being used. The
enforcement of the 7 MPH limit is done through education of riders at rental facilities and
officers informing e-bike riders they contact. We have also allowed pedicabs the option of using
e-bikes. We have met with the owner to go over all the current laws and the 7 MPH speed limit.
To officially start enforcing the 7 MPH limit, we would need to amend the code, post the proper
signage, and educate the public.

To: Vail Town Council
From: Tammy Nagel, Town Clerk and Scott Robson, Town Manager
Date: June 15, 2021
Subject: Alcohol Operational Changes in Vail Villages
I. SUMMARY
With COVID restrictions lifted and establishments allowed to operate at full capacity, there are
immediate changes to some of the town’s operations related to the sale and consumption of
alcohol; there will be a review of the changes, as follows:
• Common consumption zones within Vail Village rights-of-way will cease at
midnight tonight (Wednesday, 6/9 @ 12:00 am). Common Consumption Zones in
Lionshead Village will continue until at least 10/31/2021
As the Colorado State Legislature concludes their general session this week, it has become
clear that lawmakers will NOT be implementing exemptions allowing for Common Consumption
Zones to overlap with areas that allow for vehicular travel (as is the case in Vail Village).
Therefore, the Town of Vail must end Common Consumption Zones in Vail Village at this time
as are peer communities such as Telluride. Lionshead Village does not encompass right-of-way
for vehicular travel and therefore will remain status quo on this issue. As allowed for in section
6-3C-4 of the Vail Town Code, responsible public consumption of alcohol may continue within Vail
Town parks such as the Promenade along Gore Creek east of the International Bridge.
• Modified patios are extended until October 31, 2021.
The extended outdoor patios approved on town right-of-way during the 2020 public health crisis
will continue to be allowed. If your establishment would like to request that your patio
modification become permanent in nature, please contact Jonathan Spence, Community
Development Planner (JSpence@vailgov.com ) to begin the review process. Please be aware
that there is no guarantee that your patio modification will become permanent in its current
configuration given that review of health, safety and design will occur in the review process. A
Town Manager’s Emergency Order has extended the use of town right-of-way for patios until
October 31st 2021. This should allow establishments adequate time to move through the
established town process for permanent patios on town land which can take between 6-8
weeks.
• Take out alcohol and delivery has been extended for 5 years.
House Bill 21-1027 is anticipated to be signed July 1 (please see attached revised HB 21-1027)
extending takeout and delivery of alcohol for 5-years. Patrons of restaurants and bars will
continue to be allowed to take alcohol to-go from any liquor licensed establishment in
Vail. Licensees must still follow the requirements of placing State of Colorado labels and
closed/sealed lids on the cups when a patron leaves the licensed

Town of Vail Page 2
establishment. Establishments are highly encouraged to inform their patrons that take-away
alcohol may NOT be opened and consumed until the person has reached their destination such
as their home, hotel or a public park. In the case of Lionshead Village where Common
Consumption Zones will continue to exist, patrons may leave a restaurant establishment with
alcohol and enjoy their drink in that zone. Again, open alcohol containers will no longer be
allowed in Vail Village on street rights-of-way with the exception of public parks.
• Outdoor open bars will cease to operate on Town right-of-way at midnight (6/9 @
12:00 am)
Outdoor open bars were allowed in 2020/21 due to State/County public health orders which
greatly constricted indoor seating over the past 18-months. With all Covid-19 public health
orders now lifted by the State/County, outdoor bars will NOT be extended this summer. Modified
patios on town right-of-way may continue to be used for outdoor seating and alcohol
service. Patrons will be required to enter your licensed premise to purchase take-out alcohol.

SUBJECT: America Rescue Plan (ARP) Funds
I. SUMMARY
The COVID-19 public health crisis and resulting economic crisis have put state, local, and Tribal
governments under unprecedented strain. The Treasury Department is providing needed relief
to state, local, and Tribal governments to enable them to continue to support the public health
response and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable economic recovery. The American
Rescue Plan provides $350 billion in emergency funding for eligible state, local, territorial, and
Tribal governments to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and bring back jobs.
Town of Vail has been allocated a total of $1.17 million, with funds dispersed in two tranches,
50% ($585,000) in June of 2021 and the remaining $585,000 available one year later. These
funds must be spent by December 31, 2024. The purpose of this presentation is to share
learnings from the recently released “Interim Final Rule” from the US Treasury Department on
eligible expenses. This is not the final ruling but provides guidance for Town Council to
consider a number of options for spending.
II. DISCUSSION
The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide eligible state, local, territorial,
and Tribal governments with a substantial infusion of resources to meet pandemic response
needs and rebuild a stronger, and more equitable economy as the country recovers. Recipients
may use these funds to:
Support public health expenditures, by, for example, funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts,
medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff
Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including
economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the public
sector
Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to the
extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic
Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have
and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure sectors
June 15, 2021 - Page 86 of 158
Town of Vail Page 2
Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to
improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure,
and to expand access to broadband internet
Each of these categories of eligible expenses are explored in much greater detail within the
Interim Final Rule.
Feedback shared by members of the Vail Economic Advisory Council include:
Local businesses are struggling to hire employees because of housing and lack of childcare
Utilize funds for recruiting efforts / job fairs?
Are housing vouchers a potential incentive for employees?
Incentives for employees to stay on the job
Provide financial support to Vail Childcare and Children’s Garden of Learning
Transit vouchers or help fund extra ECO bus service
Pool together funds with regional municipalities on common issues (housing, transit, childcare)
Impact on employers due to increased wages
In addition, a few considerations brought forward from town staff include:
Police take-home vehicle program
Contribute to Eagle County homeless mitigation programming
Pandemic bonus to first responders, transit drivers, library front desk staff, welcome
center staff, reception staff, etc.
While the US Treasury has released these guidelines, they are not final. As the federal
government accepts comments on the guidelines, staff is hopeful that the eligibility criteria will
broaden to include issues facing communities moving forward from the pandemic rather than
the current focus on public health response and direct impacts.
Due to the extended time to spend the funds (through December 31, 2024), Town Council can
delay a decision on how to allocate the $1.17 million. Staff will continue to track what other
communities are considering as well as any future (and final) guidance from the US Treasury.
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Are there certain areas of spending or programs Council would like staff to investigate further?
Any other comments or feedback for staff?

Applicant:Lazier Lionshead Parcel L LLC, represented by OZ
Architecture
Planner:J onathan Spence
Planner Spence gives a short presentation on the request and turns the
presentation over to the applicant.
Robert Fitz introduces himself and Michael Six. Fitz goes over some of the
changes that were done to the building in the massing and form. The name
of the project changed from Lionsview to Legacy at Vail Square. The project
was value engineered which drove a lot of the changes. The construction
type was changed for the internal materials. The mechanical equipment was
moved to the parking garage to make room for amenities on the rooftop. The
units have decreased from 23 units to 20. Some balconies have been
combined as a result of the decrease in units. W indows in the NW corner
were removed, a chimney cap was added, similar windows were removed on
the opposite corner and an elevator is added from the garage up to the
arcade.
The building also changed the “shoulders” with the exit stairs being lowered
to give the building more symmetry and focus. The building has maintained
meeting the height maximums.
Gillette has a question on a portion of the building that extends about the
northwestern roof.
Fritz replies that it is mechanical equipment for the proposed hot tub.
Gillette expresses concern of the mass of that structure and believes more
can be done to hide it with other features of the building.
Kurz asks about losing parking spaces as a result of the mechanical
equipment moving to the garage.
Spence states that the parking has been lost with this revision, but the
minimum spaces are maintained, and those lost are surplus.
Pratt asks about the loss of an employee housing unit included with this
revision.
Spence answers that there is an increase in the amount required and that
one will be provided on site and another will need to be accommodated in the
town.
Pratt also asks about the loss of car spaces and the requirements for that.
Spence answers that they only need to maintain the minimums, which is
done.
Pratt also asks for clarification that these will be new deed restrictions.
Spence confirms.
Public comment is opened.
Kevin Rinke lives in Lionshead and asks about the property area to the west
and what that appendage will be used for.
Fitz responds that it will not be used due to grading. I t would have been used
for more GRFA if needed, but the proposal is well under the maximum.
Rinke asks for visual renderings of the proposal for the deck, elevator, and
other improvements for the neighboring properties. He also asks a question
on the height and how it is calculated.
Spence lays out the calculation methodology for measuring height in the
Lionshead Masterplan.
Rinke wants to know if the cupola is a necessity or just a decoration and if
the centerpiece is the highest point.
Fitz goes into overview of the view corridors and how he designed the
cupola with the intention of a reverse view corridor, and as a layer in the
view of the village.
June 15, 2021 - Page 98 of 158
Rinke, as a resident of Westwind is concerned that the cupola blocks the
view from the W estwind and requests the applicant remove the cupola from
the design.
Carolyn Landen who is an owner in Vantage Point. She agrees with Rinke’s
comment on the cupola and seconds his request. Her question is if there are
any other buildings that have that kind of rooftop amenities in Vail.
Gillette states that there are rooftop pools in the area, including Montenaros.
They aren’t always on the highest roof, but they are all over town.
Landen clarifies that she meant on the highest roof. She is concerned about
the potential noise lighting issues and that parties could pose problems for
neighboring properties.
Spence says this building will be subject to the same rules and regulations
as other properties with regard to lighting and noise.
Susan Cahill who is an owner in Vantage Point and president of the HOA.
W hat is the new maximum of the roofline?
Fitz states, the highest point of the gable is 81ft, under the maximum.
Cahill agrees on the white mechanical unit and that it needs to be shrouded
or blended in somehow.
Cahill asked about the parking situation with the neighboring building in the
works.
Fitz states the negotiation with that team stalled.
Public comment closed.
Gillette wants a condition to blend in the white box of the mechanical
equipment discussed. Spence states that is D RB’s role. Kurz and Kjesbo
agree that Spence can bring that discussion to the D RB and a condition is
not needed.
Spence noted that all previous conditions of approval for this project remain
in effect.
Rollie Kjesbo moved to approve. Henry Pratt seconded the motion and it
passed (5-0).

Presenter: Steve Lindstrom, Chairman
Lindstrom, Eagle County is about to declare individuals making 100% of AMI is now
considered low income.
Ruther reminded the Authority has the ability to take an ownership interest in a
development entity of a development project to allow for a real estate property tax
exemption to be granted. An exemption approval is pending the Authority’s ability to
provide evidence the development serves persons of low income. Colorado statue for
low income is undefined. It has been left up to Authority’s to define their definition of low
income. The statue states persons of low and moderate income. Commissioners took
under advisement which is what was in the Vail Daily article. Commissioners are
June 15, 2021 - Page 102 of 158
looking to put a tighter framework of low income. An exemption would not extend
beyond 15 years. The Eagle County Housing and Development Authority (ECHDA)
recommended give Commission some latitude.
Magellan Strategies and Summit Information Services put out statewide poll regarding
housing issues. Results noted more than ½ respondents want government more
involved in housing. Strong interest in rent restrictions. Lindstrom is not in favor of any
rent controls.
Morales acknowledged the valley is experiencing extremely high rental and sales rates.

4. Main Agenda
4.1. Commercial Linkage / Inclusionary Zoning Update
Presenters: Andrew Knudtsen & Rachel Shindman, Economic Planning Services
EPS reviewed the most recent updates as shown on their presentation. Questions for
the Authority to consider.
1. What is an appropriate policy goal, as expressed with a mitigation rate, for
the two programs?
2. Does the differential between fee and unit acquisition/development
address the original goals of the VLHA?
3. Does a down valley option continue to be relevant?
4. Note need to include administrative fee, if desired
Mitigation models, fee options and how they may be calculated were discussed.
VLHA concerned fee collection isn’t beneficial to purchase properties since today’s
market has nothing currently available. It is better to obtain onsite housing from
developers.
Summary of options based on most expensive to least expensive mitigation
1. Fee-in-lieu

What kind of mitigation rate is best, commercial or residential? The Authority believes
the greatest burden should be on residential development. Per Moffet the Town has
never had a policy to require residential mitigation.
VLHA asked if there is an option to split fees based on area of development? EPS will
do a quick review if splitting is possible, if not obvious they will continue with one rate.
Knudsten summarized: there shouldn’t be a discount for acquiring units, start at 50% for
residential mitigation and make commercial the mitigation rate more modest.
EPS will return with updates at the June 8, 2021 meeting.

Lindstrom stated the Authority needs to vote for a chairman at the next meeting.
Marriott Residence Inn at the former Roost Lodge site has begun construction for 146
accommodation units and 5 employee housing units.
Per Moffet due to real estate values going up would be to have an equity share of
restrictions.

increasing from $15K to a higher number recognizing today’s cost to purchase.
Campbell advised the Authority not only are for-sale homes having bidding wars so too
the rental market is experiencing the same issue.

Date: 04/27/21
Subject: Art in Public Places Programs and Ford Park Art Space Update
I. ITEM/TOPIC
Informational update on Art in Public Places (AIPP) installations and programs during
2020, as well as upcoming summer 2021 projects. AIPP will update the progress of the
evaluations by Harry Teague Architects (HTA) on the Ford Park Art Space designated
to AIPP per the 2013 Ford Park Master Plan.
II. PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to:
• Provide information on AIPP 2020 programs and installations and forthcoming
projects.
• Discuss progress and evaluation of the facility in Ford Park as a viable working
artist studio and community space designated for the visual arts.
• Receive Town Council direction regarding next steps in pursuing the Ford Park
Art Space as an accessible and code compliant structure for the purposes of
visual arts programing.
III. BACKGROUND
The Art Space building was the summer home of Kansas wheat farmers Henry and
Leona Anholtz - perhaps the first of Vail’s second homes. The building is approximately
14’ wide x 26’ long comprising 364+/- gross sf.
AIPP was created to further the arts and art education in the valley. The initial concept
of the Art Space was to create a facility to provide studio space for visiting artists, to
hold lectures, educational programs and workshops, and to provide gallery space for
temporary exhibits. AIPP has examined utilizing this space as a facility for the visual
arts since 2003. Many alterations have taken place on the structure over the years and
it was ultimately used by the VRD for storage. In December 2016 a donation of $50,000
June 15, 2021 - Page 111 of 158
Town of Vail Page 2
allocated towards the art space was received from East West Partners as a part of their
mitigation for Manor Vail. At that time the AIPP Board began to reexplore the benefits of
a dedicated visual arts space in Vail.
Since then, the AIPP Board reviewed many artist residency programs and dedicated art
facilities around the country, as well as in other neighboring mountain towns including:
Aspen, Anderson Ranch – Aspen/Snowmass, Basalt, Breckenridge, Carbondale,
Crested Butte, Salida, Steamboat, Telluride and Jackson Hole. It was noted a dedicated
space for the visual arts is greatly missing in Vail and worth pursuing further.
Ford Park has always served as the cultural hub of activity in Vail, including Bravo!, Vail
Dance, Vail Jazz, VVF concerts, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens Education Center and
multiple art installations. The repurposing of this unused facility will both enhance the
visual arts community in Vail, locally, nationally, and internationally. The improvements
of the playground restrooms in Ford Park and building the Betty Ford Alpine Garden
Education Center will make the construction of an arts space in this location more viable
given the new water and sewer line now in proximity of the area.
The creation of the Art Space was anticipated in the 2013 Ford Park Master Place:
The Creekside area is a narrow strip of land south of Betty Ford Way and north of Gore
Creek. A few small structures (i.e. the “art shack”, an open-air picnic shelter) are located
in this area. Art in Public Places (AIPP) may pursue remodeling or enhancing the art
shack at some point in the future. AIPP had placed permanent art installations in this
area and also runs summer art programs in this part of the Park. Art programs may
include activities such as interactive events, educational and participatory activities, and
temporary art installations. The passive use and the limited number of permanent
improvements within this area make it an excellent transition to the more natural,
undisturbed Gore Creek Preservation Sub-area.
In 2019, AIPP and TOV staff worked with Harry Teague Architects (HTA) who evaluated
the existing conditions, structural integrity, and provided recommendations for
repurposing the space into a code compliant working artist studio and gallery. The firm
has great experience in reimaging similar spaces for artistic purposes including the
world-renowned Anderson Ranch in Snowmass. (Evaluation Report Attached)
Uses and Needs Assessment:
Following is the uses and needs assessment for the Art Space created by the AIPP
Board to outline requirements for the facility as an artist’s studio and space for arts
programming.
Purpose of the Art Space:
1. Provide artist working studio space
2. Provide temporary gallery space

IV. OPTIONS EVALUATED
Following are options by HTA for updating or replacing the existing building for
use as an art studio and programming space.
• Option 1 - Minimal version: Move structure, build new foundation, replace on new
foundation, stabilize structure, add basic electrical wiring, insulate within existing
framing provide interior surfaces with minimal improvements. (HTA)
• Option 2 - Basic accommodation of Arts activities within existing structure to
preserve some of the existing structure for historic reasons: Move structure, build
new foundation, replace on new foundation, restore and remodel existing
structure with new features such as accessible bathroom, utility sink, chair and
art supply storage, a large west window, new entrance and porch, new larger
windows and possible skylights. Reinforce roof and wall structure and insulate.
Add electric forced air heat and mechanical ventilation with an energy recovery
unit, and possibly radiant heat. Cost varies with the inclusion of the various
amenities, but the refurbish and restoration and remodeling process is the most
expensive. (HTA)
• Option 3 - Demolish existing structure and build a new structure on a new
foundation that resembles the existing building, but has the features and systems
to accommodate all the anticipated arts needs. This new structure could be
somewhat larger than the existing structure, but would be similar enough in
shape, and materials to be mistaken for the original. Overall cost will vary
depending on the scale and amenities, but the process is the least cost per
conditioned space. (HTA)
AIPP Board & Staff Recommendation Based on HTA Option 3:
• Given the expense of working within and modifying an imperfect existing
structure, with pretty much no useful components, it makes by far the most sense
from an economic standpoint to build a new structure from scratch. In addition, a
new somewhat larger building could be designed within the site parameters and
accommodate the anticipated arts uses.
V. COST AND FUNDING
Based on a construction cost per square foot, final design and construction documents,
FFE, permits, construction management and site work we believe the project will cost
$850,000 including the contingency. AIPP would allocate $250,000 from existing funds
in the AIPP “destination art” account towards this project.
AIPP would like to request the balance of $600,000 funding from the RETT budget.

VI. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Provide direction to AIPP for the designated Art Space in Ford Park to be repurposed
into a viable and dedicated visual arts facility for the community.
VII. AIPP BOARD & STAFF RECOMMENDATION
AIPP Board & Staff recommends pursuing further design development for option 3 with
Harry Teague Architects within the site parameters and proceed to construction
documents for a 2022 Town of Vail project. Final budget authorization will take place
during the 2022 budget process. Final project award by Vail Town Council will take
place in early 2022.

The Ladies Fancywork Society adorned the
front entrance and atrium of the Vail Public
Library with a large-scale crocheted yarn installation
titled The Hatchery. For three months the collective
crocheted over 250 square feet to bring approximately
20 playful wonderland creatures to Vail.
The four crochet-creating friends began transforming
unexpected objects in the dark of night with
installations around Denver. Their work was
noticed by many art enthusiasts, ultimately
bringing the collective’s creations to the
forefront of the public art scene. Their fanciful
acrylic yarn creations have been commissioned
by the Denver Art Museum, as well as the
Museum of Contemporary Art, while maintaining
their street credibility with invitations to CRUSH WALLS
in Denver’s Rino district.

Jason T. Graves and Remington Robinson
The painting duo Jason T. Graves and
Remington Robinson enlivened the main
entrance and top deck of the Vail Village
parking structure throughout the summer
with their large-scale signature style murals.
Their creative concepts, precise pattern
work, dramatic realism, and soothing color
theory result in art that is highly accessible to
a broad range of tastes. With over 70+
murals they have created collaboratively
and as individuals, Vail is delighted to share
their work with the community. While the
interior mural evokes a sense of movement
and flow as you enter the structure, the large
realistic murals of a Summer and Winter
Dahlia reflect their traditional style.

Lantern Display, Virtual Lantern Workshop, Ice and Light Installation
•Highlighting community, connection, and unity, an installation of 20 illuminated ice
sculptures representing lanterns from across the globe was installed on the Gore Creek
Promenade. This picturesque setting allowed for a socially distanced art experience. The
variety of sculpted lanterns reflected Vail's presence as an international mountain resort
community, showcasing influences from Vail's friendship cities including Yamanouchi,
Japan; San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; and St. Moritz, Switzerland.
•Premiering alongside the ice sculptures was an exhibition of over 100 lanterns created by
Vail Mountain School first through fourth grade students. The International Bridge was
the perfect location to display the vibrant hand painted lanterns representing our year-
round Vail community.
•Art in Public Places invited guests and residents to create their own lantern through
video instruction with Alpine Arts Center. Over 300 complimentary lantern kits were
provided through Art in Public Places. Lanterns were encouraged to be displayed on a
shepherd hooks placed in the four corner planter beds of the International Bridge.
