1. Approval of August 29, 2022 meeting minutes with clarification.
2. No citizen input.
3. Ford Park Artist Residency Studio, Design Development by Harry Teague Architects
• Harry presents an updated design concept reflecting feedback from the Board and the community to
create a truly functional artist studio within a contemporary building that reflects its use. He explains his
team’s process and how they arrived at the simple sculptural design being presented.
• The building envelope is a basic rectangle with a gable roof. There is an undercut covered entrance with
street views through the studio to Gore Creek, a small deck is included along the creek and oversized
doors lead to a deck on the north side.
• The floor plan includes a generous open studio space with high walls and vaulted ceiling for large scale
projects. An entry, a small office/library, ADA restroom, utility sink and storage with standard height walls
are capped with an open loft area above.
• Harry further explains the sculptural context of the building exterior which is clad in metal and wood
similar to materials used in creating artworks. Practical considerations such as snow and water shedding
of the roof, energy efficiency and the use of durable and easily maintained materials both interior and
exterior were also addressed.
• Harry shares images of potential exterior cladding materials, as well as inspiration from existing
structures and a virtual tour of how the studio would be viewed by the public and accessed.
• Molly indicates the existing Eagle River Water and Sanitation monitoring well on the site plan. This well
must be maintained thus limiting the building size and location.
• Molly notes the existing trees in relationship to the studio asking Harry to show the proximity and address
any concerns. Can the building be shifted closer to the Manor Vail Bridge path to pull it away from the
trees? Harry prefers the proposed orientation similar to that of the existing building. He would look to
Greg and public works for any input.
• Greg remarks that the studio space (functionality), size, and appearance of the building should be
addressed by the Board today. Since it does not have overhangs, it helps as far as any nearby trees.
• Courtney asks how the studio accesses the outdoor space. Harry points out the doors leading to the
exterior. She also asks how the studio will integrate into the park. Harry responds that the art studio is
3
meant to be different than the nearby existing restrooms, concessions, Vail Rec garages, and picnic
shelters. The artist studio rather announces itself as distinct, but fits in overall.
• Susanne is a big fan of this new design and potential materials. She wants to understand the
sustainability of the materials being proposed. She asks if the contemplative deck space can be larger
and more organic in form.
• Lindsea likes the seamless lines between the roof and exteriors. Tracy also compliments the design.
• Kathy is pleased with this direction, likes the proposed metal cladding and says the building is reflective
of an art studio. She wants to ensure enough storage, thinks the proposed alignment is ideal, but the
building/tree relationship needs to be fully understood. Presently a tree extends over the roof of the
existing building, could using a nonflammable skin modify the fire dept. requirements?
• Harry discusses various possible exterior materials such as darker colored zinc, other metal cladding
options, cementitious board, and treated wood decking.
• Kathy recommends starting the review process. Greg recommends presenting an update to the Council
as the owner, updating the existing PEC submittal application and scheduling a work session with the
DRB.
• Tracy motions that we proceed with the design concepts presented today by Harry Teague Architects. All
are in favor.
• Kendall remarks that any artist would love to work in the space.

4. Coordinator Updates.
• 2023 Vail Winterfest Ice Installation – Ben Roth and Paul Wertin are communicating and will have
preliminary designs at the Nov meeting. Installation begins Jan 7.
• Molly shares the project narratives regarding the installation of the donated art, as well as the Art Studio
Space. She would like further input from the Board for a prototype for a 2023 Summer residency.
• Exterior of El Segundo – Mural artists Pedro Barrios and Jaime Molina have been approached by El
Segundo to enhance their western facing exterior walls. The Board reviews a design mock-up from the
artists since but determines since it is on private property it should likely go through DRB. The Board
would like to confirm the process of mural approval on private property with Jonathan Spence from
Comm. Dev... Following the meeting, the Board visits the site to better understand the proposal. While
the Board supports the artists’ work and concepts for the exterior of El Segundo, they want to ensure the
process is guided from Comm. Dev. given it is on private property.
• Discussion - Lamont Joseph White as artist for National Brotherhood of Skiers – The Board would like
more information about a possible commissioned artwork as a collaboration. A possible placement could
be above the fireplace in the Vail Public Library. The Board would like the commissioned canvas to have
longevity beyond the event and to be a part of the permanent collection. They think a work by Lamont will
be an asset to the Town’s collection.
• Installation of Baseball Player sculpture on the upper fields of Ford Park to take place May 2023.
• Molly is attending the CODA Worx Summit in Denver – Art, Space, and Technology Oct 12 – 15.
• Vail Rec. approached Molly to discuss ways to repurpose the dying tree at Golf Course wedding island.
Molly will get more details from Vail. Rec. and public works.
• Upcoming meetings – Special Strategic Plan meeting 8:00 am October 6, Nov. 7 & Dec 5.
5. Sculpture site location review – On-site to Lionshead, Civic Center Area, Vail Village
6. Meeting adjourned.
