The quality of the finishes incorporated into the Ballroom will be appropriate for the Town's finest formal dinners and social functions. The entire space will have an attractive and durable carpet and appear like a high-end ballroom instead of less attractive exhibit space. The movable partitions will be high quality, providing excellent sound attenuation between partitioned spaces. The space will be outfitted with sophisticated sound and audio-visual systems. The Town of Vail Conference Center facilities program has been created to maximize flexibility in order to be in a position to accommodate the widest range of types and sizes of events while continuing to limit the size of the facility to 34,000 as contemplated in the Development Agreement. The centerpiece of the facility is a 16,000 SF ballroom that will be divisible into a number of different configurations, including 4,000 SF and 8,000 SF meeting and banquet spaces, as well as eight separate 1,000 SF breakout spaces. The Conference Center facility will also include a 3,500 SF, 200-seat auditorium that will include fixed, raked seating, and a sound and projection booth. Additionally, the Conference Center will include three, approximately 800 SF dedicated hard-walled meeting rooms. If an event requires more breakout space than is provided within the Conference Center, additional meeting space in the two hotels can easily accessed from the Conference Center. The St. Regis Hotel function space, located a short walk away and on the same level as the main Conference Center ballroom, includes a 3,600 SF ballroom which will be divisible into three 1,200 SF rooms plus two approximately 800 SF meeting rooms, and another approximately 600 SF meeting room. The W Hotel function space, located a short distance away and one level above the main Conference Center ballroom, includes a 3,300 SF ballroom which will be divisible into three 1,100 SF rooms plus three approximately 800 SF meeting rooms, a 1,500 SF screening room, and another approximately 600 SF meeting room. By augmenting the approximately 3,000 SF of dedicated Conference Center breakout space with additional hotel meeting space that is easily accessed directly from the Conference Center, we are able to include both the 16,000 SF ballroom and the 3,500 SF Auditorium, continue to limit the total square footage of the Conference Center to 34,000 SF, and be able to provide for events that might require up to another 16,000 SF of breakout space which is separate and distinct from the main ballroom. The main St. Regis Hotel Kitchen has been enlarged to nearly 8,000 SF in order that it can function as the main hotel kitchen and as the banquet kitchen on those occasions that food will be served at the conference center. There is access from the kitchen by means of a back of house corridor, enabling servers to access the ballroom and meeting rooms without going out into the public pre-function or circulation space. Additionally, a 1,500 SF warming kitchen has been located immediately adjacent to the main ballroom in order to facilitate final preparation of plates prior to delivery to the guests.

Fax: 303.694.6667 and shopper parking in the summer, should be LOS B. Understanding the desire of our client to provide COMPANY: 4240 Architecture Inc www.walkerparking.com a higher than average level of service, we strived for a design closer to LOS B+ or A% We have ADDRESS: 3003 Lorimer Street achieved this for most of the design criteria and exceeded it for some key elements, like the flow capacity CITY/STATE: Denver, CO 80205 of the system or the speed with which people are able to enter and exit the facility. Let's review the CC: Benjamin Gray - 4240 Architecture individual components. HARD COPY TO FOLLOW: Yes Parking stalls in the public areas are typically 9'-0" wide by 18'-0" deep, and the two-way drive aisles FROM: Larry W. Hofmockel are 24'-0" wide. All stalls are "full size"; there are no "compact only" parking stalls. This equates to an PROJECT NAME: Vail Lionshead Redevelopment overall parking module of 60'-0". WPC's LOS A is 61'-6", and LOS B is 59'-9", so this design is about an LOS B+ for parking geometry. PROJECT NUMBER: 23.7076.00 SUBJECT: Level of Service Design The following memo addresses recent questions raised about the overall level of service provided by our proposed design of the parking areas associated with the Vail Lionshead Redevelopment project. In 1989 Walker Parking Consultants (WPC) pioneered an approach to parking design termed the "Level of Service" (LOS) approach. Prior to this time parking designers used a number of "rules of thumb" for various elements of functional design. The LOS approach recognizes that different types of users (employees, visitors, patients, shoppers, residents, etc.) have varying needs related to their parking experience, and a more customized approach to parking design better serves the needs of an owner's specific clientele at an appropriate cost to the owner. Along the some lines as a traffic engineer's approach to roadway and intersection design, WPC developed four levels of service (LOS A to D, high to low) for a host of key design parameters essential to good parking planning. LOS B generally applies to facilities used by infrequent porkers unfamiliar with the particular venue they're attending (visitors, patients, shoppers, etc.) and where parking spaces turn over multiple times throughout the day (short-term parking). LOS C applies where people frequent the some facility on a regular basis (employees, residents, etc.) and where spaces may be occupied by the some vehicle all day long (long-term parking). LOS A might be considered by a few owners wanting to provide a very high level of service for their clientele, such as casinos, theme parks, high end condos, etc. LOS D is generally not recommended, but is sometimes used by developers needing to achieve a high parking count at a low cost or by an owner whose property just is not of a size to allow more comfortable parking design. LOS design parameters include such things as stall width, clear height, ramp slope, walking distances, lighting levels and a host of other criteria. Each of these can individually be categorized into LOS A, B, C or D. While the owner and parking designer's overall goal will be a certain level of service, it is rare that any facility will or can achieve the same LOS for each design parameter. For example, an airport may provide an LOS A or B design for almost all criteria, but it may not be economically feasible to provide a large enough toll plaza with enough staffed exit lanes to limit the wait time to an LOS A or B level. M:\21014 • Vail Lionshead Park ing\Received\WaIkerPorking\20080521 \MEM051908-Vail Lionshead LOS Approach.doc parking report By using the express ramp concept to circulate between parking floors, all parking stalls are on "flat" (except for gentle slopes for drainage) floors. LOS A is 90% on the flat, so this project is LOS A+ from that perspective. The number of spaces per floor in an express ramp design is an indication of the time it will take to search for and find an available parking space. Parking Level G4 contains about 600 stalls, Level G5 about 700 and level G6 about 400. LOS B is 500 stalls for 90 degree parking, and LOS C is 750, so this project is about an LOS B- or C+ on the two larger floors and an LOS B+ on Level G6. Long uninterrupted rows of parking are a more efficient use of space, but they tend to increase the time to search for available parking and also the time to circulate back to the exit. Parking rows longer than 400' should contain a "crossover" to be able to "short circuit" the drive between parking rows. The north/south parking rows in our design are typically about 270' long on Levels G4 and G5. LOS A is 250', and LOS B is 300', so we are at LOS B+. The two east/west parking rows on level G6 are nearly 500' long, and we should consider adding a crossover at this level. The floor-to-floor height between parking levels is 11'-0". Depending on the final structural design, that should result in an internal clear height of about 8'-6" to 9'-0". A minimum of 8'-2" is required to accommodate accessible van parking. LOS A clear height is 9'-0", and LOS B is 8'-4". Our design is again in the LOS B+ range. The slope of the express ramps from the street to the first parking level and between the parking levels is in the range of 14%. LOS C is 13.3 a/o-, and LOS D is 16%, so this design is about LOS C- for ramp slope. The ramp is a little steeper than we would prefer, be we are limited by the length of the garage available to achieve the straight cascading ramp concept that is desired to most efficiently move the large volume of vehicles expected. To achieve an LOS B ramp slope of 10.67% would require changing to a "stacked" system of express ramps where ramps between levels are stacked over top of each other and drivers must circulate each floor to get back to the next ramp up or down. Another alternative could be a spiral helix concept similar to what is seen at some large airport parking structures. The straight cascading express ramp is superior to these other alternatives in terms of quickly moving vehicles in and out, and it's my opinion that an LOS C- slope is a minor inconvenience to achieve this superior design. M:\21014 • Vail Lionshead Park ing\Received\WolkerParking\20080521 \MEM051908-Vail Lionshead LOS Approach.doc Z);Z+77 ;Va7&r y spz ~ / zm&lf & no-" tt': 4240 Project Plan Submittal page 12 LionsHead Parking Structure Redevelopment The Open I Hillwood Partnership t1111 MEMORANDUM WALKER LEVEL OF SERVICE APPROACH TO PARKING DESIGN PAGE 3 The current design incorporates two separate express ramps, one from the east and one from the west. Both ramps have one inbound and one outbound lane. The flow capacity of an unobstructed straight express ramp is 1,850 vehicles per hour (vph). The total public parking count is about 1,800 stalls on levels G3 (short-term) and G4/5/6 (long-term). The Kimley-Horn traffic study projected the highest volume condition as 775 vehicles entering from the east in the peak hour. Clearly our express ramp concept can easily accommodate this volume. The flow capacity of the primary ramp system is LOS A. When partial level G6 was recently added to increase the total parking stall count, we did have to use a stacked ramp concept between G5 and G6 because there was not enough space to continue the cascading ramp. We have provided as short a circuit as possible to get off on Level G5 and circulate around to the express ramp down to G6. This will increase the travel time slightly for patrons who park on G6, however G6 likely will be the last parking stalls to get used and only when the garage is at or near full capacity. People who park on Level G6 probably have an LOS B experience in terms of their travel time in their vehicle, where people parked on G4 or G5 have an LOS A experience. Our design uses a pay-on-foot operation where the long-term public porkers will pull a ticket at one of the entrance lanes before proceeding to park on levels G4/5/6. After a day of skiing or shopping and prior to returning to their car, patrons pay for their parking at one of several pay stations conveniently located throughout the development. Then the validated ticket is used at one of the exit lanes to open the exit gate and let you onto the express ramp out. Enough entrance and exit lanes are provided at the various levels such that the queue of vehicles waiting in line at peak times does not exceed six vehicles, and the average queue throughout the day is two vehicles or less. Ticket verifying machines at the exits have a processing rate of 360 vph or six per minute. The longest anyone should have to wait in line to process through an exit gate and get onto the express ramp is a minute or two. The entering and exiting process is an LOS A as currently planned. There are several banks of elevators spaced throughout the parking floors. A walking distance of 300' from anywhere in the garage to an elevator equates to an LOS A, and 600' is LOS B. I estimate about 90% of the parking area is within 300' of an elevator bank, and 100% is within 350'. 1 believe this criterion qualifies as LOS A% The final design parameter presented here is the lighting level inside the garage. For safety and security reasons and for the overall comfort level of the patrons, we plan to provide LOS A lighting in the typical parking areas, which is 4 foot-candles minimum illuminance and 10 foot-candles average illuminance, with higher levels used at other key locations like entry/exits, pedestrian towers, pedestrian cross walks and the like. So these are the primary design criteria, and as one can see, most fall into the range of LOS A to LOS B+. The two exceptions are the number of parking stalls on Level G5 and the express ramp slope, both of which are in the LOS C range. None of the design parameters are LOS D. To sum it all up and give the parking an overall rating, it's my opinion that this project overall rates LOS B+.

Roslyn Street, Suite 220 DATE: May 21, 2008 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 TO: Louis Bieker, AIA Voice: 303.694.6622 COMPANY: 4240 Architecture Inc : 303 667 Fax www.walkerpararkinking.com ADDRESS: 3003 Larimer Street CITY/STATE: Denver, CO 80205 CC: Benjamin Gray - 4240 Architecture HARD COPY TO FOLLOW: Yes FROM: Larry W. Hofmockel PROJECT NAME: Vail lionshead Redevelopment PROJECT NUMBER: 23.7076.00 SUBJECT: Truck Dock Concept Design Per your request, we reviewed the concept level plan prepared by 4240 Architecture of the truck dock area located north of the west vehicular entry/exit portal on level G2. While we do not consider ourselves truck dock experts, and we recommend you eventually have this reviewed by another consultant more experienced in this field, Walker Parking Consultants (WPC) does have a commercial software package called "AutoTurn" by Transoft Solutions that contains the ability to check turning maneuvers for all kinds of vehicles, including various sizes of trucks. We emailed to Ben on May 5 some visual representations of truck maneuvers in and out of the proposed loading dock area. A hard copy of those is attached. There are six truck bays proposed in the current dock configuration. For purposes of this memo, I will label those 1 to 6, south to north. It appears that a semi tractor trailer as large as a WB65 (73.5' length) should be able to maneuver in and out of Bay 2 if there is a smaller truck in Bay 1 and a large truck in Bay 3. A WB65 should be able to maneuver in and out of Bays 3, 4 and 5 even if there are large trucks in the adjacent bays. A WB65 should be able to maneuver in and out of Bay 6 if there is a small truck in Bay 5. Bay 1 will be limited to smaller trucks, WB40 (45.5' length) or shorter, due to the lack of maneuvering room next to the automobile exit ramp. We did identify a minor issue with the truck entry ramp from the west. It appears as currently laid out, the curve in the ramp is too tight and too narrow to allow a WB65 truck. However, it appears that a slight adjustment in the layout of the auto and truck ramps at the west portal can be made to allow more maneuvering room.

Technical Memorandum To: Greg Hall, P.E. Town of Vail From: Curtis Rowe, P.E., PTOE Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Date: May 5, 2008 Subject: Lionshead Parking Structure Redevelopment Project Porte Cochere Traffic Analysis The Lionshead Parking Structure Redevelopment Project is a proposed mixed- use development located along the south side of the South Frontage Road at the existing Lionshead Parking Structure site in Vail, Colorado. The redevelopment project would include replacement of the existing parking structure with a new parking structure below grade and new development above. The redevelopment project is proposed to include two (2) hotels with 120 rooms each, 146 units of condominiums, approximately 75,000 square feet of retail space, and a 42,000 square foot community center. In addition, public skier drop-off, buses, and delivery vehicles would be accommodated below grade as part of the parking structure improvements. The purpose of this technical memorandum is to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed porte cochere for the Lionshead Parking Structure Redevelopment Project to determine its ability to accommodate arriving/departing vehicles. The porte-cochere will be used by the hotel and condominium guests for registration/check-in and check-out. Peak hour of the generator trip generation calculations were conducted for these two uses to determine the peak traffic volume anticipated at the porte-cochere during the peak hour. Based on the ITE Trip Generation equations (calculations attached), the hotel and condominium uses are anticipated to generate 218 trips during the peak hour of the generator, in which 120 vehicles would be entering and 98 exiting. Since there will be effectively two porte-cochere operations occurring, the entering traffic was divided equally for each hotel porte-cochere. Studies and observations were conducted at porte cocheres within Las Vegas, Nevada at resort hotel and timeshare condominiums. It was found that the average check-in/registration time was 2 minutes and 40 seconds at these port. cochere analysis VR477 facilities. For purposes of this evaluation, average wait times within the registration/check-in area was assumed to be three minutes. Based on an average registration/check-in time of 3 minutes, the 60 vehicles per hour entering each porte cochere were found to require 75 feet of vehicles storage (3 passenger cars). Therefore, the proposed approximate 100 feet of storage for each hotel porte cochere is believed to be adequate to serve the hotel and condominium guest demand. In fact, as long as the registration/check-in time average is less than 4 minutes, the amount of storage proposed on site is expected to be adequate. This analysis resulted in the following recommendations: Since separate porte cochere operations are proposed for each hotel, it is important that the areas be well designated and signed for the arriving guests. Average wait times for vehicles at registration/check-in should be minimized with a goal of providing service within an average of 3 minutes. As identified, an average wait time of less than 4 minutes is anticipated to be sufficient service for adequate operations of the porte cochere. The access in from the eastbound left turn along the South Frontage Road and the left turn out should be configured so that they are in close proximity to each other to facilitate improved operations and vehicle movements at the proposed access along the South Frontage Road. The proposed porte cochere configuration is shown on the attached exhibit.
