Housing for fire department employees should be considered in the design of the fire station.
An ambulance substation could be an ancillary use on this site.
4. Energy-efficient and sustainable design and construction techniques are important. Certification by a particular program (LEED, Green Globes) is to be investigated, although not
mandatory.
Housing developed on the site should be primarily deed restricted, ‘for-sale’ employee housing, should include a mix of one, two, and three bedroom units and should include limited rental
opportunities for Town of Vail employees.
The site should be optimized to provide the greatest amount of employee housing.
Re-zoning the property to the Housing (H) District is preferred to allow flexibility in design and development.
8. Additional traffic onto Chamonix Lane should be limited.
One-story of development at grade with Chamonix Lane is acceptable.
All financing and phasing options will be considered.
11. New pedestrian circulation and access routes should be provided around the site, along Chamonix Road and/or Lane, to ensure connectivity of the surrounding neighborhood to other
areas within West Vail. Existing pedestrian paths through the site are to be eliminated.

Buildings are organized in neighborhood clusters.
Open space/view corridors separate the clusters.
A preferred fire station & dormitory configuration remains to be selected by the
Fire Department. This scheme illustrates a footprint with 1 drive-thru bay and
2 back-up bays along the property line adjacent to the gas station.

Traditional street/alley configuration with linear alignment of buildings to create
streetscape.
Reduced open space/view corridors results from increased building footprint.
Building heights are generally 3-stories along Chamonix Lane and 4-stories in
the remainder of the site.
This scheme illustrates a footprint with 1 drive-thru bay and 2 back-up bays
against the hill at the west property line.

A parking structure creates a vegetated (green) base for high density housing
configurations.
Improved open space/view corridors due to reduced site coverage of buildings
& paving.
Building heights at the east end of the site do not exceed 3-stories to minimize
impact on adjacent neighbors.

The higher density configuration is located at the west end of the site to take
advantage of steeper slopes and to minimize impact on adjacent neighbors.
Building heights may range from 3 to 5 stories.
A preferred fire station & dormitory configuration remains to be selected by the
Fire Department. This scheme illustrates a footprint with 3 back-up bays against
the hill at the west property line.

Develop the site planning concepts based on town council feedback.
Augment the site plan diagrams with additional supporting information:
a). 3-dimensional massing & form studies
b). Site utility studies
c). Traffic impact evaluations
d). Estimates of probable cost
Review with:
a). Advisory Group (in approximately 4 weeks)
b). Town Council (in approximately 6 weeks)
