Virtual Link Register to attend the Planning and Environmental Commission meeting. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining this webinar. 2. Call to Order 3. Main Agenda This application has been withdrawn by the applicant. 3.1 A request for the review of a variance from Section 14-6-7 Retaining Walls, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section 12-17-1, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess of six feet in height for Residences at Main Vail located at 129 North Frontage Road West/Lot 3, Middle Creek Subdivision a Resubdivision of Lot 1, and setting forth details in regards thereto. (PEC23-0013) Planner: Greg Roy Applicant Name: Town of Vail, represented by Coleman Wise of Triumph Development Planner: Greg Roy Applicant Name: Town of Vail, represented by George Ruther and Triumph Development, represented by Mike Foster 3.2 A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a review of a Vail Land Use Plan map amendment, pursuant to Section 8-3, Amendment Process, Vail Land Use Plan, to designate the land use of the proposed addition to Lot 1, Timber Ridge Subdivision from undesignated to High Density Residential located at 1281 North Frontage Road West/Lot 1, Timber Ridge Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC23- 0015) Planner Roy asks the PEC to open items 3.2-3.6 to be reviewed together. Phillips formally opens up all items for discussion. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes Monday, July 24, 2023 1:00 PM Vail Town Council Chambers Staff Memo PEC23-0015, 0011 7-24-23.pdf 1 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 9 Planner Roy gives an overview of the proposed development on Lot 1 of the existing Timber Ridge development. The meeting is intended to be introductory, starts with Land Use Plan Amendment, followed by Zone District Boundary Amendment, Minor Subdivision, Development Plan (largest portion of discussion today) and a Variance. Rediker asks what is the CDOT building? Roy states that it will not be owned by CDOT, but it is located on the CDOT right-of-way land to be acquired and has been referred to as the CDOT building for that reason. Rediker asks about the location of the proposed snow storage. Roy shows on the map the location of the snow storage. It is generally located adjacent to the parking areas. Jensen asks about landscaping between E and F buildings. Roy states yes, snow storage is just along the edge, near the road. Roy also talks about building height, 83.2ft is highest point proposed. Hagedorn asks about existing building heights on the site currently. Roy states that he does not have that information. Roy goes over the sun/shade analysis and reviews the proposed density. There are 293 units within 7 buildings, ranging from studios to 6 bed & 2 bath units. All have either community space or rooftop terraces within each building. Roy discusses the parking count of 297 spaces, of which 183 are enclosed. All buildings have podium level parking and parking between buildings. The back buildings utilize the existing retaining wall. An additional 50 spaces on Lions Ridge Loop are proposed and permitting for that parking is still up for discussion as TOV doesn’t typically allow parking in the ROW. Roy adds that a mobility management plan is required in Housing district. Maintaining a bus stop is critical to the mobility plan. Bike storage and EV parking is also proposed. A parking study is also part of this packet. Roy states that the proposal meets the minimum landscaping requirements. The details will be reviewed at the DRB level. Building materials and design will be reviewed at DRB. Roy shows 3D model for massing and scale purposes only. There is a 20’ setback in housing district; building C to be 12’ on the side and the CDOT building, also within the setback. In the Housing District, the PEC can approve variations to the setback standards based on the criteria in the code. Roy discusses the variance aspect of the application. Pratt asks how tall is the retaining wall going to be along the drive and front setback? Roy states he believes it is 3-4 feet but will check. Hagedorn would like to clarify the ownership of this project. Who are the primary owners? Roy states that the TOV and Triumph Development are co-applicants on the project and questions on future ownership will be answered best by the applicant. Jensen states that the PEC spent four months just on Evergreen flat roofs, why propose flat roofs again? The Commission would like to be consistent on that topic. Roy states that applicant will discuss the roof design further. 2 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 10 Smith asks which part of the code specifies a preference for roof form. Roy states that 14-10-5 encourages sloped roofs and how it presents itself does lend to scale and massing. Smith asks if this always the rule as there are many flat roofs in the area. Roy states the historical Bavarian aspect and says that it is encouraged but not mandated. Lipnick asks if CDOT is remaining part of the ownership of land? Roy states no, they are not part of the application and are working through the purchase agreement with the applicant. Lipnick asks if it is a portion or along the whole southern edge? Roy explains the location of the CDOT ROW to be added to the larger Lot 1 parcel. Phillips asks about massing and height. It looks like it is elevator overruns and stairs that are at max height. All other parts of building appear to be lower in height. Gable roofs are covering flat roof portions to conceal the flat roof. Is what you are showing the average size of the rooftop amenities? Roy states that they are unique to each building and that there is no max height in the Housing district. Hagedorn states that he likes the parking approach in this plan. Roy states the history of mobility plans within the housing district. The mobility plan clearly shows parking plan and multi-modal aspects of plan. There will be options other than car dependency. Some key components are the bus stop along the north frontage road, interior bike parking, and bike path along south edge of site to get people to other parts of Town. Smith has a question about the process. She liked the staff memo organization. Smith asks if the PEC can straw poll commission members as we work through project. Can we do that? Rediker would like to hear from applicant first, then discuss. First find out how they will present the project and topics. Roy agrees. Pratt asks about length of site from east to west. Roy states that he does not have that number on hand but it may be 800 feet, give or take. Roy hands the presentation over to the applicant. Mike Foster is with Triumph Development. He thanks the commission. He states that they will submit the DRB at same time as PEC on 8/28 to get ball rolling and feedback going as soon as possible. They would like feedback on materials, roof, massing, etc.; however, the plan is evolving constantly. Foster presents the project. He emphasizes that they need to seize the full opportunity and maximize the use of the site. What are the goals to get max units? He states that the project is at 100% deed restricted and will maximize density. They want to minimize the short term impact, particularly in reference to the Residences at Main Vail as residents must be moved asap before construction starts. Foster adds that they performed a market study of size of units needed. Foster adds that environmental stewardship is critical and the project will be Energy Star certified. They looked at construction type and design to make it affordable for local people of Vail. Time is of the essence, target timeline is 24 months from start to finish to get people in homes quickly. 3 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 11 Foster then reviews the site plan. Building A has 40 units, 4 stories with rooftop deck and flat roof at deck but with gable elements. Building B is similar. Building C has 4 stories. The TOV is owner of Building D, with 44 units, a community room, and rooftop deck – 80% of roof will have gable roof. Building E is a more private, family building. Building F is the largest with 59 units, community room, and rooftop. The CDOT building is similar. There are 7 buildings total, 586 bedrooms. The existing is 192 bedrooms. There are larger size units than existing. The parking totals do not include the 50 possible on Lions Ridge Loop. A total of 297 parking spaces on site proposed. Foster describes many other amenities of development, including storage and unit features. Foster states that the vision is to create and add to deed restricted units of the Town. Foster talks about the challenges of the project, including the retaining wall at the north side of site. What is the state of the wall and what will it take to ensure it will last? They want to improve upon it aesthetically. They also want to maintain access from Lions Ridge apartments to bus stop. Foster briefly discusses the TOV meetings; they met four times with Council on needs of the town, etc. Met with multiple departments many times to go over logistics. Foster reviews a live market study, indicating interest in development from businesses and individuals. 203 people have signed up to get more info about units. 174 different businesses are interested in owning for employee use. The TOV will own building D to rent to locals. 169 units are reserved by local businesses for a $5000 deposit within 6 hours of online. Rediker asks if these 169 units will be owned by businesses and remaining to be purchased by individuals? Does that include TOV building? Foster answers yes; the remaining available units to go to individuals, probably by lottery. Yes, that does include the 43 units for TOV building. Rediker asks if the businesses reserved a particular unit type? Foster responds that they did indicate unit type, but not in a particular building. The design we have today reflects the feedback through comments through form as well as deposits. Lipnick asks if the individuals are working in Eagle county? Is that a requirement? Foster answers yes, we are following the deed restriction requirements per code. Rediker asks if the actual language of deed restriction is for the PEC to review? Roy states that it is outside of PEC review, TC will be the ones to finalize that language. For the PEC's purpose the requirement is that the units will be deed restricted. Foster talks about the entry to the development. Access will straddle property line to east, it is a shared access. It will be centered on property line, and we are 42’ away from adjacent building at Lions Ridge. Will use landscaping to buffer. If it shifts, we may lose units (8). Foster discusses the retaining wall variance. It will need a temp shoring wall to build podium parking, foundation, retaining for back buildings. Will try to match Lions Ridge cmu retaining wall face to be consistent with other development. 10-14’ in height, then a 8-12’ deep shelf with landscaping, then existing retaining wall. Energy Star program goals discussed. All electric systems, solar on roof, gas only used as back-up generator system. Lipnick asks if they are looking at LEED certification? Gold, Silver, etc? 4 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 12 Foster states that they are looking at Energy Star program, so no levels. Each building will be certified. Roy clarifies that it will not be LEED certified and Energy Star is a different certification program. Foster states that once buildings are certified, there are certain rebates, etc. Foster talks about the bus stop. There is a concern about number of buses stopping here (every 10 minutes); frequency may need to be increased or another route created for employee use only. Need to create staging area, safer approach, shelter area. Will incorporate shelter into Bldg A. Foster discusses modular aspect of construction. Talking to manufacturers. Will require local contractor to do preliminary and finish work. Lipnick asks if residents from each building can use other building’s community spaces? Foster answers yes, you will have access to community room at other buildings if your building does not have one. Smith asks about what goes on in the community room. Foster responds that there is space for parties, events, etc. The space has overhead garage door to connect to deck and can have a variety of functions. Jensen asks about the timeline of construction. Will units be available in December 2025? Foster states that it is probably not possible but will be phasing construction. Three buildings first but need to come up with a podium plan to ensure safety for access while other units are built. Commissioner questions: Rediker asks about the intended process. Three PEC meetings, is that true? The presentation is currently incomplete, and the plan is constantly evolving. Do you really expect PEC to approve this in the next two meetings? Foster responds yes. Each building will be broken down with full information submitted. Rediker states that’s an ambitious schedule for the largest project in the town. Hagedorn asks about mobility plan. Have you thought about car share, other ways to minimize car use? Foster responds yes, we have thought about car share. Hagedorn asks if this will this be a price-capped or appreciation capped deed restriction? Foster responds yes, one of those he believes is in the language. Hagedorn asks about the roof forms; is the intent to front-load gable roofs to frontage? For appearance at front only? Foster states that the gable roofs will be full except at roof deck locations, and a new design will reflect that. Lipnick goes back to the price cap question. How affordable are the units for local residents? Foster states that they did early proforma and cost estimations. We gauged interest online with our projected costs. Lipnick asks if he can share these costs for the 1 & 2 bedrooms today? Foster responds that George will look that up. 5 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 13 Roy states that none of the criteria for consideration of PEC is based on cost. Pratt thanks Foster for presentation. Based on the number of businesses who put down deposits, will a significant number of units on back face the retaining wall, looking into wall. How does it get decided as to who gets those units? Cost issues? Foster states that they need to sit down and allocate units. Pratt sates that he doesn’t see usable snow storage. What is the plan for management? Foster has been working with Public Works on management plan. Jensen asks about the entry road shared with Lions Ridge apartments – how does the applicant come up with a plan to allow this? Roy states that it is Town-owned, so it shouldn’t be an issue to get an access easement along that portion. Jensen adds to the challenges of the number of buses. We need to make sure it is designed for multiple buses at a time. He would also like to know how the modular units are built. Will there be steel? Foster responds no, it’s all concrete base with wood frame construction above. They are built in a remote location and shipped to location, as complete as possible (drywall, fixtures, etc) . Main lines for utilities are run through corridor, but 98% of each unit will be complete before it gets to site. Jensen asks about the roof structure and how that ties into the modular construction. Foster describes the tie into the modulars with trusses. Jensen asks about the snow removal and surface parking. It could be challenging. Foster states he will provide a management plan. But, that was the purpose of podium creation but still need the surface spaces. Smith asks about the access stairs to Lions Ridge Loop – why are there only two, not one in the middle? Foster – because of the grade of the site. Smith asks about bike storage on Lions Ridge Loop? Bike racks are currently over-flowing. Foster responds that they hadn’t thought about that and thought that internal bike storage would be sufficient. Smith states that it would be a good amenity. She would like to know more about car share program. Looking forward to hearing more about that at next meeting. She is interested in net zero operations for multi-family buildings and wants to know how far off would these buildings be? If we required this, how would this impact the construction or cost of buildings? Foster states that they are looking at this but is looking at some off-site power options/solutions. We are looking at solar capacity and what building needs are. Smith asks if they will be including induction or electric cooktops? Foster states electric will be used. Phillips asks about land use requests and trying to chip away at parts of items rather than looking at all issues at once. 3.2 – 3.5 could be ready to go together. Building elevations are showing 30’ exposed building base and the PEC will need to review because of nearby homeowners in area. Also want to minimize displacement of residents, timing of construction. Want to work through massing, size, egress, not is concerned with ownership. Emphasizes the need to work with Fire Department on access with new 6 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 14 equipment. Need to see construction staging plan; likes efficiencies of modulars, but precon needs to be dialed in more than in traditional construction. Also consider crane access to place modulars. Public Comment- No public comment either in person or virtual. Commissioner comments: Smith - The project is very large and that is appropriate. High density-close to transit. Ok with the mobility aspect of the plan and the proposed parking but would like more information/details on some aspects especially car share. Parking ratio is scary but appropriate. Need to get away from parking minimums and parking as a right. Landscaping is great. Would like to see the robust use of rooftop decks. Spoke of the value of meetings space (Community Crucible) and referenced the garden space at Chamonix townhomes and supports the inclusion of community rooms as an amenity. Jensen - A lot of people on the site which will create logistical challenges both during construction and then during operations. Fire/Trash/Snow Removal. Need to pay attention to these challenges. Parking management will need to be aggressive. How does this develop into a community as opposed to a place where people sleep will be important Pratt - Project too big, possibly one less building needed. Understands council's desire but does not think five story buildings with ten foot setbacks is supportive. Very little ground or green space as most of the open area is above the site. Parking will require significant management. Where do guests park? This is a concern. Spoke to full time residents vs J1 employees. Five stories along the frontage is too much. Will wall off the frontage. Should be a story or two less along the front. A fence for rockfall safety might be appropriate. Additional access to the parking on Lions Ridge needed. Ok with the proposed retaining wall variance. Would like other building perspectives especially from the frontage road to review mass. Lipnick - The project will create logistical challenges especially in the winter with the volumes of people/buses/fire trucks. More information on transportation needed next time. Project is compatible with its surroundings. Concerned about the lack of green space for community gatherings. Will those without parking take public transportation? Understand rockfall mitigation has occurred and need engineers sign- off. Hagedorn - Would like more perspectives provided on the project. Agree that massing is large because intent is large. Take advantage of the opportunity for density. Questions about car share and feasibility. Management of parking and mobility crucial with clear expectations. Construction staging will be important and can be challenging. Would like to see this plan. Supports addressing land use applications and variances to get those out of the way. Rediker - More details on the project needed. Feels the materials are introductory and that more discussion can occur with more details. Ok with retaining wall variance and land use applications. Concerned with the roof forms and holding all applicants to the same standards. Equal treatment is important. The 1:1 parking ratio is Ok but with private ownership of the units vs rentals and with the prices managing expectations will be important. Prices seem really high. Parking management plan that adequately addresses things in a democratic manner is a concern. Landscaping needs attention as back area not usable. Questioned the usability of the community rooms and roof decks. Prefer individual decks for private outdoor space. Stressed the need for storage and as much as possible especially with the inclusion of families. Concerned about the massing along the frontage road and a lack of stepping. Contrasts with Lions Ridge. Concerned about the overall size of the buildings and the setback encroachments adjacent to the post office. Need better understanding on the relationship between the setback and what occurs on the post office site. Phillips - Spoke to Middle Creek being overparked and the under-development of Lions Ridge. Ok with the massing of the project being not a concern and referenced south frontage road development. Finances are not in the PEC's wheelhouse. Snow management important. Have questions concerning 7 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 15 mobility and car share and making sure bus stop can handle the usage.

They talk about the outreach efforts and feedback that came out of that. They go through the suggestions that have been received. They address the process moving forward. Smith asks about the pedestrian and vehicular conflicts on Betty Ford Way. Oppenheimer runs through the causes of some of the conflicts. Oppenheimer says the average vehicles a day was higher than many neighborhood streets. Some may have been desirable golf carts; some were probably private vehicles. They are looking at solutions including a possible shuttle system. Smith talks about the confusing wayfinding; each organization has a different map for navigating. There are some opportunities for increased synergy and cooperation. Rediker asks about the future Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (ERWSD) well site. Oppenheimer says ERWSD has an adjudicated right and will want to develop the site to increase water capacity.

Rediker asks if there are concerns about increased office space conflicting with the public desire to not overdevelop the park. Dawson talks about the needs of the various organizations in the park. Some efficiencies can be gained utilizing existing footprints with a limited impact to open spaces. There is a component in the existing plan allows office spaces for park functions which is important. Oppenheimer adds the answer may be no on some of these requests. People may have operational needs but the this is sacred ground to the community. He suggests some management solutions. He addresses the existing park maintenance practices and the opportunities to allow organizations like VRD and BFAG to take larger roles in that. Smith asks about ADA accessibility. Some of the proposed sites would need significant work. Oppenheimer talks about some of the contemplated ideas for the amphitheater. He addresses some additional areas regarding compliance. Jensen says you have identified a lot of challenges. The challenge is how do you prioritize things that will make a difference. Phillips asks about the redesign of the artist cabin. Oppenheimer says it is moving forward. Phillips says the unauthorized access can be cleaned up with security gates and signage. Utilizing existing low -impact improvements for maintenance seems like a good idea. He gives some suggestions for access to the park. He states that there are so many items that there is a need to prioritize. Lipnick says Gore Creek should be high on the priorities as well as ADA compliance. Rediker asks about the possibility of additional restrooms. Oppenheimer talks about some of the possibilities. Pratt says the restrooms get closed too early in the fall, they need to be all season. Oppenheimer says some are open all year. Phillips points out some underutilized existing facilities such as concession stands. Can there be a more useful purpose for them? 5.2 Vail Civic Area Implementation Roy talks about the civic area process. There will be a task force assisting in the review, one member from the PEC is requested to be on that task force. Rediker asks some clarifying questions about the role of the appointee. What is their relationship in updating with the whole PEC body? Roy states that the task force liaison will be giving feedback on the PEC's behalf and perspective. Rediker says that this could be problematic if all members of the PEC do not have a voice. One member doesn't represent all perspectives. There is much discussion about the role and scope of the liaison, the Commission discusses moving this Info Update Vail Civic Area.pdf 10 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 18 to the next meeting. There is a desire to clarify the role of the appointee and for the larger body to get updates from the appointee. Roy states that the RFP is due at the end of the month, so there is time to discuss. The Commission moves to appoint Bobby Lipnick to the task force, with the understanding that there will be additional explanation regarding the role of the appointee and their duties of reporting to the PEC on the progress. 6.Adjournment Henry Pratt made a motion to Adjourn ; Robyn Smith seconded the motion Passed (6 - 0) (Jensen absent) 11 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of July 24, 2023 19 AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.1 Item Cover Page DATE:August 1, 2023 TIME:30 min.

Tax collections began January 1, 2023. •EVTA’s goal is to enhance regional collaboration and cost-sharing, improve transportation and transit systems, and better address the needs of the region’s workforce, employers, residents and visitors. 22 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org EVTA Governance ∙EVTA is governed by a board made up of elected officials from its seven member jurisdictions∙EVTA board meets on second Wednesday of each month.

This process will happen over the next two years. 24 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org EVTA is moving quickly •Although buses are not rolling with EVTA’s name on them, a lot has been accomplished over the past 6 months to realize the goals promised to voters and residents of Eagle Valley ✔Seated a Board of Directors and established financial and transparency policies ✔Held first board retreat and developed a Strategic Plan to guide the next 2 years for EVTA ✔Began collecting the 0.5 percent tax and created budget for EVTA operations ✔Started the transition of ECO Transit into EVTA ✔Hired an executive director and now working on salaries, benefits and HR to allow for hiring of key positions and transition of ECO Transit employees to EVTA ✔Launched planning for near-term service improvements, including free-fare zone ✔Working on bus and equipment acquisitions through ECO Transit 25 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org EVTA Timeline 2022 Dec. 2022 to April 2023 May to August 2023 Sept. to Dec. 2023 Jan. to March 2024 April to June 2024 Q3 2024 and beyond Formation process and successful vote Board retreat, operational policies, ED hiring Fare-free planning, branding and marketing Accomplished tasks:Ongoing tasks: •ECO Transit transition •Bus and equipment acquisitions •Fare-free zone planning and implementation •Housing investments HR and other operational procedures 26 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org EVTA Board Activities •EVTA board was seated in December 2022 and has been focused on following critical action items to establish base functions of a public entity: •Appointing board members and alternates and establishing rules, schedules and other functions of the board. •Selecting banking and accounting firms to allow EVTA to collect tax dollars, access banking, and provide transparency and accountability to taxpayers. •Approving board and administrative policies to be able to allocate EVTA’s financial resources. •Developing communications tools, including web site and video documentation of board meetings, for public access. •Holding a first board retreat to develop vision, mission and interim strategic plan. •Hiring executive director and providing guidance on hiring key leadership and administrative positions. 27 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org Interim Strategic Plan •EVTA Board held its first retreat in March 2023. Responding to the priorities set forth with voters in the 2022 ballot question and the transportation needs of the region and the communities that make up the EVTA, the board identified strategic goals and timelines for the next 12 to 24 months. 28 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org EVTA Sales Tax Update ∙Voters approved dedicated 0.5 percent sales tax for EVTA. ∙Ballot question estimated 2023 collections at approximately $15.5 million∙Tax collections began January 1, 2023.

Issues being considered on housing strategy include the level of funding to invest and how to build EVTA’s inventory: purchasing existing units, partnering to build new units, or, most likely, a combination of the two. o Housing is likely not a “silver bullet” solution, but remains an important component of our overall staffing and retention strategy. 33 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org Equipment •Currently working to upgrade ECO Transit's aging vehicle fleet and expand to meet future needs. •ECO has 4 new buses on order and expected to arrive in late 2023 or early 2024. Grant funding for a 5th bus has recently been allocated. •New and existing ECO vehicles will be transferred to the EVTA as part of the transition process •Continuing to apply for grant opportunities to replace vehicles and expand the fleet. •Purchasing grant-funded transit vehicles takes time, often up to three years between the time EVTA applies for a grant and the time that vehicle is delivered. •As we work to make the most of available grant opportunities also exploring other ways to increase the number of reliable vehicles in service with funds that are now available. 34 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org Equipment ∙ECO Transit has received a Federal Transit Administration grant pending to upgrade existing bus barn in Gypsum to zero-emission geothermal heat. o EVTA is expected to continue operating vehicles out of this bus barn as operations transition to the EVTA. o ECO Transit received a Congressionally Directed Spending award to make safety improvements to existing Lake Creek Village stop and install en-route electrical charging infrastructure. Currently working toward finalizing design and looking ahead to construction in 2024. o EVTA has targeted the existing Highway 6 route for zero-emission operation as soon as possible. 35 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org Moving into next 6 months Working with Board and community members on EVTA’s brand, service name and mission and vision Developing HR and benefits policies to transition ECO Transit workforce and continue filling key positions Beginning formal transfer of vehicles and equipment from ECO Transit Identifying short-term improvement opportunities possible with existing equipment and staffing Launching long-term service and capital planning process 36 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority EagleValleyRTA.org Questions? 37 AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.2 Item Cover Page DATE:August 1, 2023 TIME:20 min.

SUBMITTED BY:Tom Kassmel, Public Works ITEM TYPE:Worksession AGENDA SECTION:Presentation/Discussion SUBJECT:Go Vail 2045 - Vail Mobility Master Plan Update SUGGESTED ACTION:Review and provide feedback. PRESENTER(S):Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: Council Memo 8-1-23.pdf Council Presentation 8-1-23.pdf 66 To: Town Council From: Public Works Department Date: August 1, 2023 Subject: GO Vail 2045 - Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan Update Pedestrian, Bicycle & Transit Draft Concept Ideas I. SUMMARY GO Vail 2045 is a planning process to update to the Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan. The plan will update suggested traffic, transit, mobility, and parking improvements to better accommodate current future transportation needs within and around Vail. The plan will also provide updates on other past transportation related topics such as traffic speeds and traffic calming, noise, loading & delivery, special event logistics, AGS/rail, and tunneling/capping I-70. The new master plan will specifically focus on all modes of mobility and explore emerging technologies that will enhance mobility and transportation experiences throughout Vail. Over the past 9 months the GO Vail 2045 team has been reviewing the public responses to the 2022 transportation survey and spring 2023 parking survey, analyzing existing conditions within Vail, analyzing Big Data for transportation purposes to understand where people are coming from and going to, and brainstorming initial ideas to improve mobility and transportation within Vail over the next 20 years all within the context of the draft vision statement reviewed last fall: Vail is recognized as having a comprehensive multimodal transportation system with well-integrated alternative transportation options which reduce the number of single occupant vehicle trips and overall vehicle miles travelled to, from, and within Vail. Transit, walking, and biking are highly encouraged, comfortable, safe, affordable, reliable, and convenient, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure, emerging mobilities and technologies, as well as education and outreach programs. Vail's transportation system is designed to support the sustainability of the natural environment and contribute to the Town’s Climate Action goals as well as to provide equitable access to economic, recreational, and other opportunities. Those who choose to drive are welcomed with a well-maintained roadway system and clear direction for locating Vail’s managed parking areas and alternative fuel vehicle stations. Loading of goods, services, and passengers is efficient and clearly designated through the town’s dispersed loading and delivery system. Traveling between Vail and regional destinations within the 67 Town of Vail Page 2 intermountain area and the Front Range is reliable, convenient, safe and seamless by public transit or private vehicle. Convenient connections to the nearby airports make year-round travel to Vail easy from anywhere in the world. Over the next several months the team will present ideas to Council, stakeholder groups, and the public regarding the various elements of the plan. This Council session will focus on Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit elements. Future discussions will include Parking, Traffic, I-70, and Emerging Technologies. II. PEDESTRIAN, BICYLCE & TRANSIT The GO Vail 2045 vision statement identifies that Transit, walking, and biking are highly encouraged, comfortable, safe, affordable, reliable, and convenient, supported by state- of-the-art infrastructure, emerging mobilities and technologies. In order to achieve this vision, multi-modal options need to be prioritized within the Town’s transportation network, specifically along the Town’s roadways and high-density development areas. The Town already has a robust free transit system, however, to encourage more transit usage to, from and around Vail, a priority should be placed on increasing transit frequency and opportunities, convenience and availability of mode transfer hubs within high density development areas, and continuous support of the newly formed Eagle Valley Transit Authorities’ (EVTA) plan for expanded frequency and fare-free zones from Edwards to Vail. To prioritize pedestrian and bicycling modes, the Town needs to embrace and enhance the existing infrastructure within the Primary Pedestrian Transportation Corridors; and create new infrastructure in Secondary Pedestrian Transportation Corridors. The Primary Corridors include the Frontage Roads and Bighorn Road, the Gore Valley Trail, and the North Recreational Trail. The Secondary Corridors are those residential roads that run parallel to the Primary Corridor as well as those roads that provide critical links from the Primary Corridor to the Vail Village, Lionshead Village and to higher density outlying residential areas. Recommended Transit and Pedestrian Multi-Modal concepts are shown on the attached exhibits and are described in more detail within the attached draft outlines. They are also available for the public for review and comment on www.engagevail.com. III. NEXT STEPS The feedback received from Council, Stakeholder groups and the public will be used to refine the concept ideas into Draft Recommendations for each element of the master plan, eventually to culminate in a review of the Draft Master Plan in 2024. The following is a timeline of next steps for GO Vail 2045; • July-Sept 2023 Review & Comment on ideas for each element o July Pedestrian, Bicycle & Transit o August Parking & Traffic o September I-70 & Emerging Technology 68 Town of Vail Page 3 • August 2023 Pedestrian, Bicycle & Parking Survey • Oct - Dec 2023 Draft Recommendations • Jan – March 2024 Draft Master Plan • April – June 2024 Adopt Master Plan IV. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council review the ideas presented, provide feedback and encourage the public to go to www.engagevail.com to provide comment. 69 1 Bicycle/Pedestrian Draft Goals & Concepts Overall Goals: • Multimodal Options - Don’t need a car to get to Vail or around Vail (same as transit) • Equity – Enhance and prioritize bicycle and pedestrian facilities in areas around employee housing, affordable housing, and bus stops with consideration for the range of users accessing each multimodal travel facility in the Town of Vail. • Climate/ Quality of Life - Reduction in GHG emissions in Vail per Climate Action Plan Update and reduce parking demand by making walking/biking for transportation more feasible • Access – Bicycle and pedestrian facilities require minimal out-of-direction travel and connect comfortably to key destinations including trailheads, bus stops, commercial areas, and parks. • Innovation – Incorporate emerging mobilities such as electric bike and scooter share, electric bike charging stations. • Safety – Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are comfortable for a wide range of ages, abilities and user-types. Consider general recreation, “serious” recreation, and commuter use, and design facilities according to the ‘weakest link approach’ (i.e., they are only as comfortable as the most stressful segment or crossing) The Bicycle and Pedestrian goals are consistent with the transit goal topic areas, with the addition of a safety goal. High Level Recommendations: • Improve the comfort of people walking and biking along Priority Corridors o Create more consistent wide (6’) shoulders along the Frontage Roads to offer separate on-street bike facility options for more confident cyclists traveling at higher speeds to help address trail congestion along the North Recreation Path and Gore Valley Trail, o Complete the missing sections of the Gore Valley Trail and the North Recreation Trail along the Frontage Roads and add a separated path along Bighorn Road. In general, widen these paved multi-use paths from the existing 10’-11’ width to 12’ wide where feasible and add centerline striping. o Re-align the Gore Valley Trail from Vail Valley Drive to along Gore Creek to address congestion and safety concerns. o Improve Gore Valley Trail signage and facilities to bypass Vail Village via Vail Road and Gondola One Plaza o Improve signage awareness of dismount zones in Vail Village and Lionshead Village. Encouraging use of Gore Valley Trail to bypass the village areas if just “riding through”. o Implement extensions of separated paths and alternate routes for redundancy and options in the trail system;  Extensions of Separated Path; • Intermountain along Frontage Road and Gore Creek • Donovan to Lionshead 70 2 • Ford Park to Aspen Lane • Katsos Ranch Road to Bighorn Park n Ride • Bighorn Road  Alternate Routes; • Stephens Park • Bald Mountain Berm • Improve the comfort and connectivity of people walking and biking along Secondary Corridors o Formalize separated facilities for people biking by creating new striped 5’ bike lanes on collectors that experience high volumes of pedestrian/bicycle traffic, such as Vail Valley Drive, Vail Road, and East and West Lionshead Circle. This narrows the vehicular lanes to 9’-11’. o Formalize 4’ shoulders to provide low-cost space for walking on Buffehr Creek Rd, Lions Ridge Loop, Forest Road, Beaver Dam Road. This may require widening these roads by 2’-4’ to maintain 9’ wide vehicular lanes. o Formalize 4’ shoulder and optional 6’ sidewalk on collector roads that are alternate secondary pedestrian corridors and may have been identified by residents as having safety and speeding concerns (Kinnickinnick Rd., Chamonix Ln./Rd., W Gore Creek Dr., Main Gore Creek Dr., Matterhorn Cir., Westhaven Dr./Cir., Lupine, Bridge Rd., Columbine, Streamside Cir., Meadow Dr., Main Gore Dr.) • Calm traffic, adjust posted speeds, and right-size roadways for all users o Develop transparent traffic calming process to evaluate streets for traffic calming following resident complaint(s) or observed speeding issues o Create a consistent speed limit of 20 mph on residential roads in order to create consistency for users and more comfortable streets for all users.  Apply enforcement and roadway design changes to ensure successful application of 20 mph speed limits o Consider road diets at three locations  South Frontage Road adjacent to the Vail Transportation Center  South Frontage Road just west of West Forest Road  North Frontage Road adjacent to the West Vail Shopping Center • Improve bicycle and pedestrian crossings o Improve existing north-south crossings of I-70 with sidewalks and formalized bike lanes.  To accommodate people walking and biking with a facility separate from underpass traffic, the Town should at minimum provide an 8’ trail and sharrows at the entrance to each underpass. Where possible, the Town should provide wider 10-12’ trails. o Consider additional future north-south bicycle/pedestrian connections across I-70. Possible locations could include;  Sandstone Creek in conjunction with the future development the Ever Vail site and the wildlife crossing identified in the Eagle County Safe Passage Study,  Middle Creek, in conjunction with the development of a Civic Center and additional Middle Creek Housing, 71 3  Buffehr Creek Road, as identified in the West Vail Masterplan  I-70 MP 178, as identified as a possible wildlife crossing and identified as an alternate opportunity for a new recreation path crossing o Improve crossings at all legs of all roundabouts to include flashing beacons, marked crossings, curb ramps, and widened sidewalks and look for options to make “pushing the button” more convenient, such as automated flashing beacons  Increase signage entering roundabouts to improve awareness for potential of bicycle/motor vehicle interactions (Use Full Lane, sharrows, etc.) o Improve trail crossings of driveways and local roadways by setting the trail crossing closer to the adjacent property at access points to improve sightlines by providing a zone where vehicles can wait in the driveway to make a turning movement without posing a barrier to trail users • Enhance existing and add additional supporting amenities to make walking and biking more comfortable and more intuitive o Implement landscaping and street furniture to buffer the pedestrian zone and provide amenities along trails o Plan for the upgrade of lighting in the project area, considering scale/aesthetics, spacing, light pollution, energy efficiency, and smart lighting when updating pedestrian and bike facilities on a corridor o Implement bike-calming measures in trail segments that are heavily trafficked or have high potential for conflict between those biking and walking, such as access points to Lionshead and Vail Village near the dismount zone and at chokepoints on the Gore Valley Trail o Wayfinding and signage  Update existing signage to provide travel times and directions for those biking and walking to help multimodal users better plan their travel  Maintain consistency with existing branding and communication guidelines  Initiate a comprehensive wayfinding and signage study to avoid the proliferation of excessive signage and create a consistent, visible strategy to connect people walking, biking, and driving to downtown and other key destinations • Implement Transportation Demand Management programs and policies that will support walking and biking including: o Mobility pass program to provide subscribers with access to a variety of transportation modes including Town of Vail parking facilities, Shift e-bike program, and ECO Transit o Secure and adaptable bike parking, bicycle valets/corrals at major events, bike share, encouraging bikes on buses for easier first-last mile connections o Maintenance including snow and debris removal and pavement maintenance o Education and awareness (for people driving and biking) on rules of the road and support for people biking, especially tourists o Bicycle valets and corrals at major events o Continued expansion of the Shift e-bike program in order to provide increased accessibility and convenience of travel by e-bike o Communication to users about when bikes are and are not permitted on buses 72 4 o Data collection of bicycle/pedestrian counts and analysis of bicycle and pedestrian- related collisions o Explore opportunities for regional partnerships, including the Regional Transportation Authority, which would promote regional trail travel o Establish the position of a Town Active Transportation Coordinator to facilitate implementation of plan recommendations o Access management  Consolidate and reduce frequencies of driveways and access points, especially in front of the West Vail Shopping Center and at the Conoco o Developer requirements  Implement or contribute to the multimodal network identified in this plan, where it is adjacent to their property. This includes bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, zero emission charging stations, and bike racks. o Enforcement and regulation of e-bike speeds and dismount zone  Develop a speed management program for shared use paths to ensure all users travel at safe speeds in high-pedestrian traffic areas. 73 Vail Transit Draft Goals & Concepts Overall Goals: • Multimodal Options o Provide a local and regional transit system that allows people to conveniently get to Vail and around Vail without a car. • Equity o Provide seamless connections between local and regional transit. o Provide convenient transit options for employees and service workers in Vail. • Climate/Quality of Life o Reduce GHG emissions in Vail per Climate Action Plan Update o Reduce parking demand in Vail by making transit feasible for more trips. • Access o Increase access to high-frequency transit to more areas of Vail (measured by quarter- mile walk to high frequency transit in winter and half-mile walk in summer) o Increase coverage area of all transit in Vail in summer and winter. • Innovation o Continue transition to zero emission buses. o Explore opportunities for autonomous transit vehicles and buses considering pedestrian safety implications this new technology may bring. • Safety o In coordination with the efforts to expand bicycle and pedestrian access, ensure multimodal connections to transit stops are comfortable and safe. o Improve safety of bus operations in locations with known safety concerns predominantly due to high pedestrian traffic (E. Meadow Drive, E. LH Circle, Vail Valley). Draft Recommendations: • Support Implementation of the new Regional Transit Plan in development by the Eagle Valley RTA o Increase frequency on all regional routes:  US 6 Route (eventually double service)  Valley service  Beaver Creek – Vail Express  Minturn Route  Leadville Route o Improve span of Beaver Creek – Vail Express. o Add new express service along I-70 and US 6. o Convert service to fare free to Edwards/Minturn and consider expanding fare free to more regional routes in the future. o Improve coordination of regional and local service in Vail to:  Improve transfer opportunities between local and regional routes and provide direct service on regional routes to key destinations in West Vail: 74 • Operate the Hwy 6 regional service along the West Vail Express alignment in Vail. • Stops at planned transit hubs at West Vail, Timber Ridge, and Lionshead.  Provide seamless access of information for users between service types. o Improve and market intercept lots/park-n-rides to capture more eastbound travelers into Vail. o Support use of transit service from Eagle Airport for visitors (consider schedule, onboard luggage rack, etc.). • Transition Transit Service to the Following Layered Network Approach (see map): o High Frequency Service (15 mins or better). o Local Service (30 minutes). o Regional service (frequency varies). o On-demand transportation where operationally feasible (and that cannot support at least 30-minute transit frequency). o Special event service. • Study and Pilot Microtransit if Fixed Route Service Cannot Support 30-minute Frequency: o Potential Options Include:  Summer on Golf Course Route.  Potato Patch/Red Sandstone/Lions Ridge/Buffer Creek connecting into planned West Vail, Timber Ridge, and Lionshead transit hubs. o For a larger West Vail microtransit zone include restrictions in algorithm that would deny trips if a fixed-route option is available. o Prioritize operating 30 minute fixed-route service over microtransit when feasible. • Improve Service to West Vail and East Vail Year-Round: o Explore moving to a year-round schedule. o Establish a West Vail, Timber Ridge, and Middle Creek mini mobility hub (would provide transfers between local and regional routes and other services). o Increase frequency of Red and Green routes to 30 minute service to West Vail (could replace piggyback service). o Extend West Vail Express to all day service and consider year-round operations. o Increase frequency of service to East Vail in summer and winter (Instead of piggybacking service). o Coordinate schedule of East Vail Route and West Vail Express Route to allow timed transfers at Vail Transportation Center for cross-Vail travel. o Increase frequency of service in the summer in coordination with paid summer parking. o Consider consolidating Lions Ridge and Sandstone routes to provide 30-minute service (add stop at Vail Run on the Frontage Road to serve high density housing in place of stop on Lions Ridge Road). o Coordinate overlapping route schedules to maximize stop frequency (for example: the Red Sandstone and West Vail routes at 30-minute frequencies each could be scheduled to provide 15-minute frequencies to the Red Sandstone Garage and Middle Creek Village to served planned development at those locations). o Increase frequency of service in areas where dense development occurs (e.g. Timber Ridge and Middle Creek Village). 75  Middle Creek Village would have 15-minute bidirectional all day service (30- minute red/green and 30-minute Red Sandstone/Lions Ridge)  Timber Ridge would have: • 10-minute all day bi-directional West Vail Express • 30-minute all day bidirectional West Vail Local (red/gree) • 30-minute one direction Red Sandstone/Lions Ridge Loop  These services should be sufficient to provide a high level of service for near- term demand of planned housing in Middle Creek and Timber Ridge – if resources allow and there is additional demand, the West Vail Local (red/green) could be increased to 15-minute service in the future. • Explore Strategies to Limit use of Private Shuttles along High-Frequency Transit Routes: o Reason: Reduce VMT, more efficient use of resources, limit capacity needs at transit center, etc. o Study the impacts (increased transit demand, VMT, other mobility impacts) of consolidating private shuttle routes that overlap with frequent transit routes.  May need to be paired with increased frequency of public transit service and/or implementation of rail service within Vail to accommodate existing demand. o Potential strategies:  End historic requirement for developments to provide shuttle services.  Encourage resorts to focus shuttle services on evening events (to dinner etc.) and direct guests to public transit during day (to ski, etc.).  Operate a consolidated shuttle service in place of multiple shuttles (could be more cost effective for hotels).  Charge a fee to hotels that continue to operate shuttles when alternatives are available  Regulate access to drop off locations at the transit centers. o Potential candidates for consolidated shuttle include locations along the frontage roads including: Double Tree, Marriott Residence Inn, Simba Run, Vail Run, Marriott, Grand Hyatt, and Wren. o Explore partnerships with car share providers. These partnerships could serve to both provide a transportation option other than utilizing a private shuttle and could sufficiently offset the need for personal vehicles to merit a reduction in parking ratio requirements for new development. • Study Service to Summit County: o Work with CDOT to convey Big Data findings to promote inter-county service in line with travel patterns. o Opportunities may include enhanced service between Frisco and Vail and a dedicated Pegasus route between Breckenridge and Vail. • Expand Partnership/Support Regional Transit Service along I-70 to/from Denver o I-70 Regional Transit Partners:  CDOT (Bustang/ Pegasus)  Airport Shuttles  I-70 Coalition  Vail Resorts 76 o Be an advocate for additional transit services to Vail. o Provide amenities and space for buses and shuttles in Vail for regional partners. o Communicate with partners (Bustang, shuttles) on the specific schedule and routing needs of Vail for regional services. o Hold regular (bi-annual) meetings with each partner agency (Bustang, airport shuttles, etc.) to share information on needs, coordinate services, plan for future improvements, and maintain a regular relationship. o Spread the word to residents, employees, tourists, and other Vail Transit users about services available from regional partners between Vail and Denver, DIA, and other I-70 destinations. • Develop Transit Facilities and Infrastructure o Continue to explore affordable housing opportunities for drivers based on staffing levels needed to provide the level of transit service outlined in Go Vail 2045:  Buying/developing units specifically for Vail.  Consider providing housing vouchers. o Increase capacity at Vail Transportation Center (Mobility Hub Concept – see below) – future bus bays:  ECO Transit: 4  Vail Transit (one per route): 8  Bustang/Greyhound: 2  Pegasus: 1  Airport Shuttles: 2  In-Town Shuttles: 1  Future Expansion: 2 o Add new/improve existing mobility hubs (to facilitate seamless movement between modes):  Future Major Transit Hubs: • Vail Village • Lionshead • Ever-Vail  Future Minor Transit Hubs: • West Vail • Timber Ridge • Middle Creek Village  Amenities for all transit hubs: • Transit service/stops • Transit stop enhancements (shelters, benches, trash receptacles) • Real time travel and trip planning information • Robust visitor information • Bike share parking • Bike racks • Access infrastructure, including crosswalks, sidewalks, and bikeways • Bike racks/secure bike lockers 77 • Regular maintenance and programming (daily attention to ensure there are bikes available, signs/lighting working, trash removal, etc.)  Additional amenities for major transit hubs: • Car share • Taxi/ride hailing service • Taxi/ride hailing loading zones • Passenger pick-up/drop-off area • Bathrooms • Vendor/food/beverage amenity • Additional programming of services • Staffing to support passengers needs/information  Additional amenities for Vail Transportation Center • Bus bays for future service growth (see above) • Electric charging for buses • Driver break area • Connection to future rail along I-70 o Convert bus fleet to zero emission vehicles. o Upgrade charging capabilities for buses including more powerful chargers and potentially inductive charging at the transit center to support routes with longer mileage blocks. o Explore Rail Connectivity and an Automated Guideway System (AGS):  Between Vail Transit Center and West Vail  Support advancement of I-70 Mountain Corridor AGS  Dowd Junction Feasibility Study (Tunnel/AGS) o Integrate Ride Vail App with regional services and other modes (bike share, car share) o Explore integration of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology for transit buses as the technology advances:  Monitor AV transit technology progression and look for opportunities to incorporate or pilot in Vail (advantages of AV transit to monitor for effectiveness are improved safety, smoother operations, and cost savings from eliminating drivers).  Implement AV transit in stages starting with partially autonomous vehicles to support smoother operations and safety features and strive for higher levels of autonomy as the industry evolves to eventually eliminate driver costs.  Successful implementation of AV transit in Vail in the near-term may need to wait until technology is proven to resolve existing operational challenges during adverse weather.  As the technology allows consider piloting a low-speed AV transit along the Intown route to test operational feasibility and driver cost saving opportunities.  Consider additional striping and markings to better define the lanes, intersections, etc. along any bus route slated for AV experimentation.  Upgrade transit maintenance facility and staffing to support AV technology prior to implementation. • Improve Pedestrian Safety at Bus Stops and Along Key Bus Routes 78 o Complete a corridor study to identify safety improvements along the In-Town route to address safety concerns and separate people walking and biking from potential transit conflicts. o Encourage porosity through developments from upper-level roads to lower-level roads to encourage legal short cuts. o Improve Pedestrian Crossings at bus stops along arterial and collector roads where crossing is necessary to access the stop, e.g.:  West Vail Mall  Ever-Vail  Along Bighorn Road in East Vail o Add shelters to bus stops with high daily boardings. o Add pedestrian-scale lighting to all bus stops to increase visibility of people waiting for the bus. o Improve bus stops where development densities increase (e.g. Timber Ridge). 79 GO VAIL 2045 Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan Pedestrian, Bicycle & Transit Concepts 80 VISION & GOALS

SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to:  Provide Town Council with the additional information requested regarding costs of the various components of the Dobson Project presented at the July 18 Joint Vail Recreation District Vail Town Council meeting by the staff and consultant team.  Provide additional detail on the building capacity, specifically around hockey games.  Update the Town Council and staff on additional seating capacity option along with associated costs.  Request Town Council approve a project Program for the Dobson Remodel Project  Request the Town Council approve a budget for the Dobson Ice Arena Remodel Project  Request the Town Council approve the funding sources for Dobson Ice Arena Remodel Project  Request staff to bring a design contract with Populous for award at the August 15, 2023 meeting to continue to advance the project. II. BACKGROUND At the July 18 Joint meeting of the Vail Recreation District (VRD) and Vail Town Council, project design elements, budget and funding were discussed. The following questions and concerns were raised during that meeting, and the project team has returned with more information for Council’s consideration.  There was a request to return to the Council with a budgetary breakdown of the various components included in the project budget as well as costs for certain items not included within the budget.  Seating capacity during hockey games was a concern, and it was requested that additional information be presented to determine if more spectator capacity could be provided in an alternate approach and configuration. The design team will present the current capacity (as close to code as allowed), the recommended option, and 102 2 present a new element which nearly fits within the existing structure to provide additional capacity. III. DOBSON ICE ARENA HOCKEY CAPACITY SCENARIOS The project team has provided specific scenarios regarding hockey game capacities. The team identified areas where code-compliant “standing room only” can occur with the existing Dobson and with proposed redevelopment scenarios so that seating can be compared using the same methodology and application of the building code. They have also identified areas where it occurs, but still maintain a compromised less than code compliant clear egress route. As shown in the diagrams, there are less than desirable nook and cranny spaces which are code compliant, but not that desirable from a viewing standpoint. It is difficult to compare capacity from “today” to the proposed project because there has been significantly more attendance permitted beyond what the analysis identifies, and today most of the egress ways are blocked including the stairs during the larger hockey games. Understanding that this practice should not continue, the team studied how to increase the viewing areas and opportunities for additional attendance for hockey games. A viewing deck above the south seating area has been identified as one additional scenario. The next step of schematic design is advancing the design with much more precision regarding exact dimensions, and the team is committed to finding every opportunity to increase hockey game capacity and still meet the code regarding egress. The design team consists of a code consultant specifically regarding Fire Life Safety to ensure we are achieving the maximum capacity while being code compliant. The schematic design phase will challenge more traditional design dimensions for egress and balance the specific routing using detailed modeling to achieve a project with the most efficient design. IV. RECOMMENDED DOBSON ICE ARENA REMODEL PROJECT BUDGET AND FUNDING The budget breakdown for the various components that created the initial $52.0M project is provided below, along with the costs of alternates which were not included within that $52.0M budget. Design Element Hard Cost New Roof Over Existing Building $10,767,685 New MEP Systems $ 9,049,805 Locker Rooms and Official’s Rooms $ 4,110,255 Add Restroom Capacity event level interior buildout $ 639,385 New South Entrance, Includes Concourse Level Restrooms $ 4,994,934 Add New South Fixed Seating $ 1,476,888 Replace Ice Plant and Ice Floor $ 5,016,316 New Amenity Spaces for Flex Use $ 90,150 Remaining Renovation $ 1,861,439 103 3 Sitework $ 2,281,325 Total Estimated Construction Cost including Escalation of 7.09% $ 40,288,182 Soft Costs 29.11 % $ 11,722,436 Total Budget of recommended Program on 7/18/23: $ 52,010,618 Previous Alternate Costs: (includes base cost, escalation and soft costs) All in Cost Replacement of remaining Boilers $ 584,350 New West Entry $ 1,181,156 New Scoreboard Allowance $ 320,000 New Alternate to address additional Capacity: Additional Seating Platform on the South Side $ 1,295,000 Total Alternates: $ 3,380,506 Total Budget including all alternate costs: $55,391,124 Previous Funding Sources: Vail Reinvestment TIF funds $ 45 M VRD funding the Ice System Hard and Soft Costs $ 5-6M Real Estate Tax Funds over the next 5 years allocated $ 1 M General Reserve Funds allocated for Temp Sheet Ice $ 1 M Remaining Shortfall from capital Reserve $ 0-1M Initial $52 M budget funding $ 52M If additional project components are added to the budget, funding would need to come from either the Capital or General Fund Reserves, sponsorships, contributions, and naming rights, grant funding and other funding partners to make up the shortfall between the initial funding identified and cost of the project components approved. The Vail Recreation Board met on July 27 and discussed their ability to fund the ice portion. There were concerns the cost appears high compared to having a design-build firm only replace the ice system by itself. The staff and owner’s representative plan to address this issue further in an upcoming recreation subcommittee meeting. The best-case scenario finances for the district projects approximately $3M available by the middle of 2025 after property taxes are collected and distributed. There was discusssioon, also about the Town providing a bridge loan, similar to the approach used for the irrigation replacement project a couple of years ago at the Vail Golf Course. 104 4 The 2023 budget was supplemented to include an initial $5M towards the Dobson project. Final budget for 2024 which would include funding to complete the overall project will be addressed during the 2024 budget process. V. NEXT STEPS If the Town Council can provide direction regarding the program and financials both in terms of overall project budget and funding, this then completes the conceptual design phase. If there are concerns or items which still need to be addressed prior to providing approval of the overall program elements, budget or design, the team can further refine the project. The conceptual level is more about program and elements verses design details of how everything fits together. The next step is to move into developing the program into schematic design. This includes significant more detail into dimensioned spaces, identifying specific equipment and more detail on both the structural and architectural drawings. The site work is advanced and further investigation and design is completed on the necessary utility work. The team will return to the Council if there are issues in the schematic design. The team is also committed to exploring opportunities for funding the west entry as well as sustainable functions through the many available sources. The schematic design drawings will be used for selecting a Construction Manager/General Contracting firm through a competitive process. This process will also allow the project costs to be verified along with the schedule prior to beginning the entitlement process. The staff will return to the Council on various times along these next steps. The project will be brought back prior to any entitlement application to ensure the team is submitting a project the Town Council, as the owner, agrees to move through the entitlement process. To meet the next design steps for the project, staff is prepared to return to the Council to award the remaining design contract to Populous to move the Dobson Arena project forward. It is anticipated this award to take place at the August 15 Town Council meeting. VI. ACTION REQUESTED  Request Town Council approve a project Program for the Dobson Remodel Project  Request the Town Council approve a budget for the Dobson Ice Arena Remodel Project  Request the Town Council approve the funding sources for Dobson Ice Arena Remodel Project  Request staff to bring a design contract with Populous for award at the August 15, 2023 meeting to continue to advance the project.

ATTACHMENTS PowerPoint Presentation 105 5 106 Dobson Arena Renovation – Program Update | Vail Town Council August 1, 2023 107 2 The Vision Dobson Arena has evolved over the years from a pond, to a pond with stands to an ice/events arena that has seen relatively minor updates over the years. The Dobson Arena is a key component to the fabric of the Vail Community hosting a rapidly growing sports community anchored by Ice Hockey as well as an event space for key community events for over 40 years. The facility is in dire need of an upgrade to bring the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing up to code and current sustainable performance requirements The facility must be able to function well for the next 50 years offering improved access, bathrooms and amenities for patrons and the facility must be upgraded structurally to ensure a responsible lasting update. As well, this plan must consider that the Dobson will serve the community well into the future. Dobson Arena Update – August 1, 2023 108 2 You Asked us to Resolve Capacity Concerns and Develop Alternates for more Complete Scope Today we will review: 1.

PRESENTER(S):Police Chief, Ryan Kenney, Vail Police Department and Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: councilmemospeedstudy2.docx Traffic Data 2022 - 2023 v7.pdf Public Input.pdf 131 July 25th, 2023 To:Town Council Through:Russel Forrest Town Manager From:Ryan Kenney Chief of Police Tom Kassmel Town Engineer Subject:Traffic Study The purpose of this memo is to discuss traffic concerns in the Intermountain area, enforcement strategies and traffic resources. In May of this year, a resident of Intermountain contacted the Town with a concern over speeding vehicles. The resident was specifically concerned about speeds on Kinnikinnick Road. Since receiving this complaint, traffic studies have been conducted on Kinnikinnick Road. Traffic complaints, specifically speeding complaints, are one the most frequent complaints we receive. Addressing these complaints in an efficient manner is a top priority for the police department. We have a set number of resources to address traffic concerns and balance those concerns with the rest of our responsibilities. Traffic studies are an accurate way to determine the volume and speed of vehicles traveling on a particular road. Traffic studies can be done with a visible deterrent (radar trailer) or with less visible “blind” traffic tubes/radar. Both are similarly accurate, but a radar trailer can arguably affect driver behavior. For comparison we have provided some data on historical short duration blind speed studies completed by the Public Works department in 2001, 2014, 2021, and the most recent radar trailer speed studies competed by the Police Department in 2023. Historical Blind Speed Study Data In 2021, the Public Works Department completed blind speed studies for many of the Town roads using traffic tubes and radar. The durations were short, several days, so there was time to study 28 roads. Below is the speed data collected and how it compares to past speed studies, as well as the relative difference to the posted speed limit and to the suggested uniform residential speed limit of 20 mph. The highlighted differences are those where speeds were 5 mph or greater than the existing/suggested speed limit. These roads have the highest concern when evaluating and prioritizing enforcement or other traffic calming measures. 132 Town of Vail Page 2 2023 Radar Trailer Speed Study Data Two traffic studies were done on Kinnikinnick Road, both for west bound traffic but in different locations. In addition to those two traffic studies on Kinnikinnick Road, two additional traffic studies were done for comparison. One study was done on Vail Valley Drive and the other on Chamonix. These additional locations allow us to compare volume, speed, and the possibility of design playing a role in driving habits. The first traffic study on Kinnikinnick Road started in April. This study used the police department’s radar trailer which was placed on the west side of the street at the corner of Kinnikinnick Rd. and Bellflower Dr. The radar trailer captured westbound traffic on Kinnikinnick Rd. It was onsite for a twenty (20) day period from 04/19/23 to 05/08/23. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH.

The location was on the south side of the street at 2600 Kinnikinnick Rd. at the Meadow Creek Bus stop to monitor westbound traffic on Kinnikinnick Rd. It was onsite for a fifteen (15) day period from 05/08/23 to 05/22/23. The posted speed limit is 25 MPH.

The first study has a lower average speed because of the radar trailers proximity to the stop sign which is recording vehicles slowing down. The second study captured vehicles as they travelled the middle portion of the road unaffected by traffic controls. This data helps us prioritize traffic enforcement. Although enforcement is still needed in this area, it may fall behind another location that has a higher average speed. An example of this is a traffic study that was conducted on Chamonix in June and July. This study used the same police department radar trailer located at the south side of the street at 2379 Chamonix Ln., to monitor eastbound traffic. It was onsite for a seventeen (17) day period from 06/26/23 to 07/12/23. The posted speed limit is 15 MPH.

This data makes enforcement Chamonix a priority. After this speed study was conducted, we will start a period of increased police presence and enforcement on Chamonix. The goal is to reduce the average speed back to an acceptable level. This increased enforcement period will be followed by another traffic study that will either confirm the enforcement worked or determine additional measures need to be taken. The second comparison study was done on Vail Valley Drive. This study used the same police department radar trailer located on the east side of the street at 416 Vail Valley Dr., to monitor south bound traffic. It was onsite for a twenty (20) day period from 06/07/23 to 06/26/23. The posted speed limit is 15 MPH. The results are below; Westbound Traffic Stats at a Glance: Total Vehicles: 48096 Average Speed: 15 MPH Fastest Recorded Speed: 52 MPH Median Speed: 15 MPH Raw Percentages: 6-10 MPH 16%16-20 MPH 37%26-30 MPH 1% 36-40 MPH 0% 11-15 MPH 35%21-25 MPH 11%31-35 MPH 0% 41< MPH 0% 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 4000 4500 6-10 MPH 11-15 MPH 16-20 MPH 21-25 MPH 26-30 MPH 31-35 MPH 36-40 MPH 41< MPH Average Speed Average Speed 136 Town of Vail Page 6 The Vail Valley Drive study shows very heavy volume with an average speed of 15 MPH. Although the speed is not an issue, the volume of vehicles along with the pedestrian interaction creates increased traffic complaints. Because of the pedestrian component, this location is also a high priority. Accident Data Traffic crashes also factor into the decision of where, when, and how we address traffic complaints. Accident data is a significant factor in determining the severity of a traffic issue. Pinpointing specific locations where traffic crashes are occurring help us determine the most critical locations to deploy resources. Frontage Road has the highest number of crashes. In 2022, the VTRC is highest with 58 crashes, then the LTRC with 41 and City Market with 40. Behind these locations on the Frontage Road, accident numbers drop significantly and don’t have any statistical significance. This crash data represents locations that have high volume and the potential for speed to play an issue. Accidents in these locations can quickly cause traffic flow to slow to a point of gridlock. Traffic enforcement in these areas is not only critical for safety but also for the continued flow of traffic in and out of the Town of Vail. Traffic Calming and Enforcement Many of the traffic complaints related to speed often have to do with the lack of pedestrian accommodations on our low volume residential roads. A pedestrian walking or biking on a residential road that is passed by a vehicle driving at 20-25mph likely feels uncomfortable and may perceive the vehicle as driving much faster due to their vulnerability on the road, proximity to the passing vehicle, and the differential speed of the vehicle and the pedestrian. We have a variety of tools to address traffic complaints including directed patrols, education, traffic studies, radar speed signs, and the speed trailer. Traditionally, enforcement alone will not create a lasting change in driving behavior. Residents often request traffic calming measures, i.e. speed humps, 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 14000 16000 18000 20000 6-10 MPH 11-15 MPH 16-20 MPH 21-25 MPH 26-30 MPH 31-35 MPH 36-40 MPH 41< MPH Average Speed Average Speed 137 Town of Vail Page 7 stop signs, etc.., however each of these among others have pros and cons that need to be carefully considered. In the next few months, the GO Vail 2045 Mobility and Transportation Master Plan, will address traffic calming measures and likely recommend a strategy moving forward for review by Council. 138 Road Safety in Vail, Colorado 2022 –2023 Education and Enforcement Vail Police Traffic Management and Road Safety Measures Strategy includes chain law inspections, directed patrol, speeding management, variable messages signs, DUI task force and other enforcement campaigns.

There are several areas of the road which would benefit from a lower speed limit and road improvements. The width of the road in some areas , does not allow enough space for two cars to pass side- especially at the blind curve when entering the neighborhood. Despite high pedestrian usage, including dogs and children, there are no curbs, sidewalks or marked pedestrian crossings. The driving speed of visitors and contractors through our neighborhood is a common topic of discussion. One solution ( if widening the road is not feasible) might be to make Kinnickinnick a one-way street with pedestrian/ bike lane and marked pedestrian crossings, especially into the children/ dog park area. We all appreciate your attention to this important safety issue and look forward to working with the Town to make improve our amazing Intermountain community. Thank you Sincerely, Dr Theresa Michel Sent from my iPhone 142 From:Jessica Williams To:Council Dist List Subject:Intermountain Traffic Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 12:47:16 PM Hi, I am a West Vail resident writing in support of measures to be taken in the Intermountain neighborhood to reduce and or permanently bring awareness to the speed limits in the neighborhood. We have a dog and two little kids (soon to be three) that we take on walks multiple times a day. In the summer there are a few sidewalks we are able to utilize in parts of the neighborhood but for the most part we are walking on the roads (100% in the winter). The number of cars driving in excess of the speed limit on kinnikinnick around corners and on the frontage road is constant! It’s not uncommon for people to be going 40-50+ mph on the frontage road! I am not sure if people don’t realize the speed limit or just don’t care. But as someone walking next to these cars it can be scary and I always have heightened senses. Just this winter, I was walking my dog on the frontage road and had to jump onto the snow bank along with my dog and we were still within an inch of being hit by a car going 40mph +. I was thankful I didn’t have my kids and stroller as I’m not sure I would have been able to get out of the way! This neighborhood has a lot of active members walking the streets along with the bike path that always brings lots of bike traffic. Something needs to be done to help with the speeding cars otherwise it is just a matter of time before someone is hit and or killed. Thanks for your time and understanding. Jessica 143 From:Megan Beran To:Council Dist List Subject:Intermountain neighborhood Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 12:29:00 PM Vail Town Council, please address the speeding in Intermountain. It’s entirely absurd the speed that people, residents and visitors, drive up Basingdale blvd. The speed limit is 15mph but rarely followed, it would be appreciated to see it enforced. Additionally, a lower speed limit on Kinnickinnick would be practical, the street is very narrow with lots of pedestrians including kids and dogs, buses, driveways, and blind corners, and it’s common to see people speeding around. Please help keep our neighborhood safe. I’ve heard rumors that years ago someone was killed walking in our neighborhood, we don’t want to see any accidents happen to anyone in our neighborhood. Thank you and be in touch with any questions. Best regards, Megan Beran Mobile: 415.272.0345 Address: 2801 Basingdale blvd unit 7 Vail CO 81657 144 From:Sara Newsam To:Council Dist List Subject:Speed limits in OnterMointain Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 12:27:00 PM Kinnikinnick Road is heavily traveled and the speed limit is much too fast. There are blind corners and narrow curves. Lowering the speed limit even 5 miles an hour will help. There are lots of families walking on Kinnikinnick with children & dogs. There should be a pedestrian crosswalk from the south entrance to Stephens Park so that people can cross safely. It is hard to know the entrance is there if you aren’t familiar with it. Thanks for reading this. Appreciate your consideration.

Our town is amazing and your guidance and leadership to continually make it even better are much appreciated. There is an issue I know is dear to many of my neighbors as our community is evolving to have a larger population of full time residents as well as a more successful tourism economy with ever increasing visitation. The town did a lovely renovation of the children’s playground area of Steven’s park a few years ago. Additionally the population of young children has grown with many new families starting in the neighborhood. The walking path from the neighborhood to the playground is most heavily trafficked on Kinnickinnick Rd with people walking from west to east toward the park along the road. The proper side of the street for pedestrians to walk on is against the traffic on the left side of the street. This means that in order to walk to the park path everyone has to cross Kinnickinnick Rd around a sharp mostly blind corner. I personally have almost been hit by cars multiple times. I have witnessed several near misses that would have been tragic fatalities involving infants, mothers, fathers, and or grandparents. It seems at minimum we need marked cross walks and signage to help prevent the very real risk and tragedy of multiple generations losing their lives simply because of visitors unfamiliar with the area and or even longtime residents who are not familiar with the growing and changing use of the children’s playground. Please see the attached pdf outlining the issue and proposed options. Thank you!

Having been a resident of Kinnikinnick Rd since the early 90’s, I have witnessed our area grow in population and with that, traffic. In the past few years we have seen an increase in people speeding through the neighborhood and rarely obeying stop signs. Intermountain is a neighborhood. Families, kids, and people with pets all walk the neighborhood! With a speed limit at 20mph, few side walks or curbs, the pedestrians are constantly having to avoid vehicles driven by people not paying attention! This safety concern could be alleviated by lowering the speed limit, increased police presence, code enforcement, installation of curbs or side walks and marked pedestrian crossing. Town council please help make our neighborhood a safer place! On a similar note, why was the blind spot round mirror taken down from the east end of Kinnikinnick Rd on at the obscured corner by Meadow Creek Condo’s? Thank you for your consideration. Ken Willis 2763 Kinnikinnick Rd Vail, CO 81657 970-390-9973 149 From:Jayne Taylor To:Council Dist List Subject:Speed limits in Intermountain Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 11:21:16 AM Please reduce the speed limit on Kinnickinnick road in Intermountain to 15mph like the rest of the neighborhood. There are no side walks, blind bends, a children’s play ground, a dog park and two bus stops on the road which make it very busy with pedestrian traffic. It make zero sense to have a 25mph speed limit. I would also suggest having a zebra crossing by the entrance to the dog park on Kinnickinnick road which would slow traffic on that dangerous corner. Several of us have almost been hit by speeding cars on that icy corner in the winter. Thank you for considering this, Jayne Taylor Unit 8, 2783 Kinnickinnick road Vail Sent from my iPhone 150 From:Kathy Haven To:Council Dist List Subject:Kinnikinnick Rd in Intermountain Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 11:00:02 AM Hello! Please protect our kiddos and pets, and implement calming measures and a reduced speed limit in our neighborhood - especially on Kinnikinnick as this is a busy road to get to Frontage Rd. Thank you, Kathy Haven 151 From:Danean Boukathter To:Council Dist List Subject:Intermountain speeding problem Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 10:24:49 AM To whom it may concern, Please take the time to look at this problem that the neighborhood is dealing with. All other neighbors in the TOV are 15 mph. Why is Kinnikinnick 25mph. There are people walking with their dogs & kids. We only have so much room to share this road. Please take the time and consider lowering the speed limit. The neighborhood is getting increasingly busy, and one day it’s going to happen that someone or dog will get the short end of the stick. Thank you, Danean Boukather resident of intermountain. Danean Boukather danean@bhhsvail.net 970-376-5415 152 From:Andreas H To:Council Dist List Subject:Intermountain Speeding Date:Tuesday, August 1, 2023 12:59:42 PM Attachments:image001.png I second my wife obviously and all the other many neighbors that it would be nice to see these 15mph signs go up after 18 months of waiting but in particular see enforcement and summer speed bumps. Althgouh its less busy in the neighborhood this year with rentals as Vail is slower in general, the speeding is a continuous concern of all of us walking their dogs and kids in and around Intermountain. I’ve personally given up as the progress on this has been so slow that I thought it wasn’t even under consideration anymore. Just this morning some guy in a red truck came flying down 30+ miles an hour on Basingdale and running the stop sign at the intersection of Kinnikiinick an. He’ll get a personal not from me on his truck politely asking him to slow down in the neighborhood. Anyways, I’ve written too many times on this, talked to Russell and the police personally, asked Greg Schwartz (who I know tried to send enforcement) just to see no progress on it Not sure if our police dept is understaffed or they just don’t come out much I wish in general in Vail we’d hold people accountable to them driving way over the limit and endangering others. Anybody else notice the speeding between the Vail roundabout and the transportation center during busy times. Not sure why to police isn’t out there collecting Anyways, back to work Thanks for all you do Andreas Harl Beverage Director Matsuhisa Vail w.970.476.6628 c.970.688.0515 153 AGENDA ITEM NO. 2.6 Item Cover Page DATE:August 1, 2023 TIME:15 min. SUBMITTED BY:Stephanie Bibbens, Town Manager ITEM TYPE:Presentation/Discussion AGENDA SECTION:Presentation/Discussion SUBJECT:Loading and Delivery Update SUGGESTED ACTION:Listen to presentation and provide feedback. PRESENTER(S):Ryan Kenney, Vail Police Chief VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: L&Dupdatetocouncil8-1-23.docx 154 July 25 th, 2023 To:Town Council Through:Russel Forrest Town Manager From:Ryan Kenney Chief of Police Subject:E-delivery Program & HVCC The E-delivery program started full implementation on October 1st, 2022. The program is operating very efficiently and has successfully decreased vehicle traffic and drastically improved the guest experience. With a full ski season completed and half of the summer season, it is a good time to evaluate removing high volume commercial carriers (HVCC) from the Village. The three major HVCC’s, UPS, FedEx and DHL all have a strong presence in the Village. Most days, FedEx and UPS will spend four to six hours delivering in the Village. During peak season, both companies will have two trucks in the Village for most of the day. Since removing the larger delivery vehicles, the HVCC’s have become very noticeable. We have received an increase in complaints on HVCC’s this summer. In April and May, we met with representatives from each company. The meetings were to inform them the Town of Vail was considering limiting their access to the Village and discuss options. DHL was not concerned with losing access. They have hired a third-party contractor that currently has a dock permit and will continue to do the bulk of their deliveries. FedEx and UPS are interested in purchasing dock permits and using the Town’s contractor. FedEx and UPS reported their average volume amounts for summer and winter. With that information, we met with the Town’s contractor and discussed the volume, operational plans, issues, and resources. The Town’s contractor developed an operational plan to handle the volume while preserving the priority on food and beverage. FedEx and UPS will bring all deliveries to the Mountain Plaza loading dock. Deliveries will be separated by FedEx and UPS by their final destination and placed on shelving in the loading dock. The Town’s contractor will deliver these items during the second part of the day after food and beverage deliveries are completed. There are limited package pick- 155 Town of Vail Page 2 ups from the Village but those to will be handled by the Town’s contractor during their routine delivery service. The Town’s contractor believes that one additional cart and one additional delivery person can handle the increased volume from HVCC’s. These additional resource estimates are based on volume numbers from FedEx and UPS, current volume of food and beverage deliveries and time restrictions for both. Understanding that these estimates are based on data unaffected by human elements, we would like to conduct a pilot. This pilot would run from September 1st to December 31st and only include FedEx and UPS. An additional cart for the four-month pilot would cost $750 a month or $3,000 total. An additional delivery driver would cost $5,720 a month or $22,880 total. The total additional cost for the pilot is $25,880. The additional cost of the pilot can be funded from savings within with current loading and delivery program budget of $1.3M. Annual year-to-date expenditures through May total $498,911. The Town has collected $545,000 in loading and delivery permit fees that go towards offsetting the cost of this program. The pilot will allow us to solidify the operation plan and the resources needed to operate efficiently. Once the pilot is completed, the 2024 operating budget will include any cost increase by adding the HVCC’s. Based on the projection of one additional cart and one additional driver, annual costs would be $77,640. Both FedEx and UPS will require the highest tier dock permit, $27,000 which will cover the bulk of the cost of additional resources needed to handle the increased volume. We are asking Council to approve a pilot program to add HVCC’s to the loading and delivery program. 156 AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.1 Item Cover Page DATE:August 1, 2023 SUBMITTED BY:Missy Johnson, Housing ITEM TYPE:Information Update AGENDA SECTION:Information Update SUBJECT:VLHA June 26, 2023 Meeting Minutes SUGGESTED ACTION: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: 2023-6-27 VLHA Minutes.pdf 157 Vail Local Housing Authority Minutes Tuesday, June 27, 2023 3:00 PM Vail Town Council Chambers PRESENT ABSENT Steve Lindstrom Craig Denton Dan Godec – via zoom Kristin Williams James Wilkins – via zoom STAFF George Ruther, Housing Director Martha Anderson, Housing Coordinator – via zoom Missy Johnson, Housing Coordinator 1.

The Authority continues to work on the following: 1. Land Use Change, zoning change - how to make that process flow better 2. Housing Zone District We are seeing this now with Timber Ridge - need for approvals without having the full building designed down to full construction plans, specifically for the approval of some infrastructure and parking started without having the full building plans done and approved.

Vail Local Housing Authority Meeting Minutes of June 27, 2023 158 4.2 Review of Capital Improvement Policies in Deed-Restricted Housing Presenter(s): Martha Anderson and Missy Johnson, Housing Coordinators Anderson presented an analysis of Capital Improvement Policies attached to a variety of deed restricted residences. Anderson reviewed a spreadsheet that highlighted a variety of deed restrictions and the policies regarding a sampling such as Arosa Duplex, Chamonix Vail, North Trail Townhomes, Pitkin Creek Townhomes, Red Sandstone, Vail Commons and Vail Heights. The comparison includes the following items as applicable: annual appreciation cap, maximum % amount for capital improvements, disallowed capital improvements, permitted capital improvements with a cost related cap and depreciation policies. These topics vary amongst the deed restrictions and housing staff turned to Authority for thoughts regarding the goals of policy and any unintended consequences. Discussion ensued around the primary goals of the capital improvement policy and maximum resale value and is the current policy effect over the years. 1. Primary goal is to maintain affordable housing 2. Secondary goal to incentivize property maintenance and upkeep (such as appliance, water heater, HVAC systems) 3. Get clear and educate owners regarding the distinguishing between repairs and improvements (and cost of home ownership vs. upgrades) The current policy effect over the years covers goal 1 but because there is no incentive or disincentive for goal 2, there is little financial motivation to maintain the home with upkeep. • The authority agrees that there is a cost of home ownership and based on circumstances, cost of home ownership and upkeep is necessary. We have an appropriate position to put education and policy in place, especially for EHUs and products moving forward. Conversation ensued around a recent example of a North Trail Townhome and the needed maintenance to systems and appliances. • Considerations for future could include home inspection to ensure the property is habitable Part of the capital improvement policy to include list of minimum overall functional systems including heating, plumbing, appliances based on an inspection • Distinguishing repairs vs. improvements and recognizing the cost of home ownership • Reminder that the cost of an HOA assessment is applied to the maximum resale value, without depreciation Reminder that these are existing contracts and any changes need to be mutually accepted Prefer to offer incentive vs. penalize • There is an opportunity for provision of some of the deed restriction at the point of ownership changing hands but, in some cases, the Town cannot change Master Deed Restrictions unilaterally. The Housing Staff will come back to the Authority with options for considerations, based on the recommendations heard from the Authority.

Main Agenda 4.1 VLHA Investment Policy Administration Presenter(s): Carlie Smith, Finance Director Smith reviewed a memo regarding the VLHA account including her recommendation to adopt the Town of Vail investment policy. Objectives include safety, liquidity and yield in order of priority. The standards of care, Town roles and authorized investment structure was reviewed. The Vail Local Marketing District is an example of an entity that follows this investment recommendation. 162 Management of the investment is held by the Town of Vail Town Manger with appointed designees. Right now Smith is acting as the Authority's fiscal agent at the Authority's direction. The Town Manager would be inserted in the process as Smith is under the Town Manager's umbrella as the fiscal agent. Smith is open to discussion. Lindstrom suggests he wants to include Authority member, Godec, and take this under advisement with the Authority at this time.The authority will determine if this is approved as is or if there are suggestions to explore. Smith's team, will be included in future updates and next steps. 4.2 Capital Improvement Policy Proposal Presenter(s): George Ruther, Housing Director, Martha Anderson and Missy Johnson, Housing Coordinators Housing Staff presented the Capital Improvement Policy proposal and memo as a response to the previous Authority meeting. The varying deed restrictions in Town of Vail are recognized as the conversation continues. There are differing policies with different projects are from the varying circumstances. The memo highlights some of the unique nuances, initial data from some of the impacts and hope to conclude with a recommendation to the Town Council with changes/amendments that the Council may want to consider at a future date. The policy objectives, as agreed upon by the Authority at the previous meeting, were highlighted: 1. Maintain affordability 2. Incentivize property maintenance and upkeep 3. Educate on the distinction between repairs and improvements, explain cost of home ownership and importance of reinvesting in one’s property Anderson reviewed a list of identified current policy challenges and continued to present suggestions or examples of possible policy changes for the Authority to consider. The authority is not discussing a desire to create matching deed restriction policies, or equal appreciation caps. The Authority is focused on potential edits to capital improvement policies, not opening up the discussion to the bigger picture of the the appreciation caps, generally. Anderson reviewed additional policy impacts through a comparison chart showing the variety of effects of policy, appreciation cap and appreciation cap taking inflation into account. The gap continues to get wider from the free market rates. Given the current programming, the gap continues to widen. The primary purpose of the graph is to show that the deed restrictions are maintaining and ensuring affordability, even with the current policies regarding allowable improvements and repairs. We may need to consider, with this widening gap, the unintended consequence is that people may be willing to pay the maximum resale price regardless of the condition of the home for sale. A variety of suggestions to policy changes for the Authority to consider were presented by Anderson and the Town Staff looked to the Authority for feedback. Discussion ensued around the key factors to consider when exploring next steps around policy edits and suggestions to the Town Council and the below highlights key feedback: o A roof replacement is a capital expenditure while a replacement of appliances. The o Authority agrees that standardized list of capital depreciation schedules must be followed; and if an item is fully depreciated and they replace it, possibly that would be considered. Action suggested to explore existing lists of depreciation schedules. o Lindstrom commented about condo associations without reserves vs. those 163 o associations that do carry reserves, based on monthly savings. He leans towards a roof replacement as a replacement vs an improvement o Denton commented if there is an upgrade it shall be an improvement. If there is a roof replacement, he feels it should be handled the same way. He sees allowable improvements as necessary but believes it needs to be further defined. o Desseauve spoke upon behalf of Vail Commons owners. The $14,000 assessment was the same across each owner, as a special assessment. She feels that the depreciation of units is a cause of concern and items must be replaced. She is curious if items that depreciate over 20 years, who is liable to replace it. The authority sees that as a owner expense and as a deduction should the home be up for sale with a non-functioning window. The example of like for like vs an improvement to the type of windows with a better option. o Lindstrom confirms he agrees a like for like replacement or a repair is not something that can be considered as a capital improvement. There is a disincentive if there are inoperable systems. o If the Authority chooses to consider improvements to go towards the maximum resale value, the group should consider the cost of the upgrade vs. the cost of the upgrade and the differential value of the upgrade above and beyond the cost of the like for like replacement. o The Authority points out that a max resale value could be lowered if there is not a full set of operable windows, given the suggestions being discussed. o The Authority will continue to consider the policies and conversations will continue. 5. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members 5.1 Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members Presenter(s): Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman o Martha will email the group about an annual lunch o A brief update was provided regarding the status of Altus Vail Residences o RFP went out for West Middle Creek and there is still time for firms to submit. The Housing Authority has assisted in the review process of RFPs in the past, for instance, Lions Ridge. o Timber Ridge is moving along and Triumph is gathering the next round of initial responses and it will be on the agenda at the next PEC meeting at 1 p.m. on July 25, 2023 o Reminder that local developers will be attending the next VLHA meeting and a great meeting to be in person o CDOT Parcel conversations ensue with the State Land Board regarding the development and timelines for the development for the three parcels o Vail Board of Realtors is open to upcoming Vail Local Housing Authority presentations to the VBR. Lindstrom suggested showing them the Town of Vail Housing online presence and tools. 6.
