What: Neighborhood Meeting When: Wednesday, February 13, 2008, at 5:30 pm Where: Vail Town Council Chambers Why: To share and gather information about the Chamonix Site Master Plan process The Chamonix property and the former Wendy's restaurant site are located on the north side of the West Vail roundabout. The properties were acquired to address community needs, including a third fire station and additional for-sale employee housing. The town has contracted with Aspen- based Stan Clauson Associates to assist with the master planning process. During the Feb. 13 neighborhood meeting, a list of development goals adopted by the Town Council will be presented which will be used to guide the project and the discussion: 1. The Site is to be used for development of a fire station and employee housing. 2. Housing for fire department employees should be considered in the design of the fire station. 3. 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. 5. 100% of housing developed on the Site should be deed restricted, `for-sale' employee housing, with a mix of one, two, and three bedroom units. 6. The site should be optimized to provide the greatest amount of employee housing. 7. Re-zoning the Site to the Housing (H) District is preferred to allow flexibility in design and development. 8. Additional traffic onto Chamonix Lane should be limited. 9. One-story of development along Chamonix Lane is acceptable. 10. All financing and phasing options will be considered. c; ice, xECrcren ranEn A previous master plan for the Chamonix property was approved in 2005, which included a provision for medium density housing of 18 units per acre and a fire station. Acquisition of the former Wendy's property, however, provides new opportunities for integrating the design of the two properties with the surrounding neighborhood. This includes locating a fire station on the former Wendy's property for improved emergency services access and expanding density for deed-restricted housing on the Chamonix site. The Town welcomes your input and feedback regarding this important project and hopes to share with you project updates from Town Staff and our consultant team. If you cannot attend this meeting and want to be kept informed, you can sign up for email alerts by contacting Scot Hunn, Project Manager, at 477-3,551. Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in this meeting. l look forward to seeing ycu on the 13`h!

MEETING 7 February 2008 MISSION: The Neighborhood Meeting(s) is to provide input specific to neighborhood needs, goals, and similar information that will be useful in the master planning effort. HOW INFORMATION WILL BE USED: The Town Council has established some parameters for development on the subject properties (see following page). Information from the neighborhood will be considered in light of the Town Council parameters as well as in site planning and future design guidelines for emergency services facilities and employee housing on the Chamonix/Wendy's properties. Information from other sources will be balanced with the input gained from this meeting(s). Town Council Advisory SCA Team Committee Employee Housing Emergency Services Focus Group Focus Group Town Staff ..Neighborhood Infrastructure Meeting(s) Focus Group GHAMONIX 2008 MASTER PL..AN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING GUIDELINES: The Town Council has outlined several goals and considerations regarding development of employee housing and emergency services facilities at the Chamonix/Wendy's properties: Employee Housing • For-Sale Units are preferred over rental units a. For-Sale units will contribute to long-term residences; long-term residency creates neighbofiood vibrancy b. There may be other sites that are more appropriate for rental housing 100% of the housing built on the Chamonix property should be deed-restricted a. There is a critical shortage of affordable housing in Vail, every square foot of the property is needed for employee housing b. The round-a-bout is at/near capacity; introduction of mixed-use development would certainly have a negative impact on round-a-bout c. Mixed-Use development likely won't generate enough income to pay for itself, certainly not enough to subsidize construction of the EH units d. The CC3 zone district is likely to redevelop -that is a more appropriate location for mixed- use development. e. Housing will be focused on the Chamonix site; emergency services on the Wendy's site. • Rezone to the Housing Zone district to allow for greatest flexibility in density and design. The goal is to optimize use of precious land. • A mix of one, two and three bedroom units is preferred. A limited number of four bedroom units might be acceptable. a. Greatest demand for two-bedroom units. b. Buildings may be 5+ stories to maximize use of property c. Height at Chamonix Lane to be considerate of existing residences. • Limited or no vehicular access from Chamonix Lane as a goal. An emergency access point (similar to the Commons) may be acceptable. • Maintain and enhance pedestrian/footpath access from Chamonix Lane to frontage road. • Site orientation and communal areas important a. Consider issues of shading during winter months that may negate use of outdoor spaces b. Useable outdoor spaces have been well used at other EHU developments. c. Use of space for employee housing is priority over recreational facilities. Flre Station • The Wendy's property was specifically purchased for development of a West Vail Fire Substation. • The Wendy's property is appropriate for emergency services facility development, the Chamonix Site is not. The Chamonix site should be preserved for employee housing development. o A third fire station will complete the fire department's needs. o Development of a fire station at this site will enable better response times to West Vail. o An ambulance substation would be reasonable, however municipal offices may not be. • Allow for up to 18,000 SF station with living quarters; training facilities; and four engine bays. Sustainable Development • Energy efficient, environmentally sustainable design important. • More important to realized design benefits than a specific credential. Certain credentials (i.e. LEED certified) may be costly, preferred funding be spent on construction of the project. 2 CHAMONIX 2008 MASTER PLAN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING QUESTIONS FOR NEIGHBORS 1.

Following are minutes from the meeting. Scot Hunn (Town of ~ Michelle Thibeault (Stan Clawson Associates), and Gilbert Sanchez (Studio B Architect facilitated the meeting. Attendees comments included: Access • Use of Frontage Road for fire department access major improvement over ac Chamonix Road. • No new access points on Chamonix Lane. • Pursue access to residential area from Frontage Road thru Wendy's site. • There needs to be adequate parking for the new residence, however excess ~,_..... ,y ,.. overflow parking is not encouraged. This would have a negative impact on the neighborhood residential qualities that most homeowners seek. • Retaining wall at Wendy's site is enormous, will that be an impediment to developing the two sites as one large parcel? • Concern about future traffic impacts from larger West Vail area. • Look at intersection of Chamonix Lane and Chamonix Road and consider improving line of sight. Snow Storage • Major challenge on Chamonix Lane Pedestrian Circulation • New/improved pedestrian/sidewalk connections need to be created for the existing and proposed new residents of the area to safely travel Chamonix Lane and Chamonix Road. • Current pedestrian conditions along Chamonix Lane 8~ Chamonix Road are dangerous for pedestrians. • Will this development necessitate a new bus stop? • A bus stop along Chamonix Lane would benefit the existing neighborhood. • A pedestrian connection to the West Vail commercial area would be beneficial for both existing and future residents. • Some discussion was held to Consider pedestrian access thru residential neighborhood; Do not bring existing neighborhood traffic (pedestrian or otherwise) through these residence -bringing outsiders by peoples windows is a negative. Residential Design • Height of the buildings proposed at five stories could be too high, three stories maximum -this single comment was neither supported nor argued against. • One-story elements along Chamonix Lane are appropriate and will contribute to an integrated neighborhood design as well as act as a highway noise diffuser without blocking views. Two-story elements might be acceptable. • Should be a local, owner-occupied neighborhood friendly for families with children • Need to ask persons on waiting-list what the consumer wants; need to hit affordability targets and price points. • Comments on unit mix debated that one-bedrooms are needed; one-bedrooms don't make sense. • Building materials are key to long-term maintenance and affordability. • Simple roof forms are preferred. • Project should be high quality, high class condominiums. • Limit/reduce noise between units. • Integrate family-oriented amenities on-site. Fire Station • Why is the station proposed up to 18,000 SF? • Is there substantiated need for a third station? • Several studies have been conducted stating the necessity of a third station of at least 15,000 SF. • Station design should be integrated with rest of neighborhood. Sustainable Development • Why not go for LEED certification? • Need to prioritize costs to keep project affordable 2 ~ N~n~wf~ w~i~- ~.~~- cc7 w~ tlo~~ ~~~. ~\wtsL - ~.I,o 1~lcw ~K..~35, p~c G1~~10. -fi-av~ _ A~.~ - ~~-~r~ ~u ~p~-1,~,5 ,~ ~ - ~ A ~~ LPL ` o,C- ~- .N I~~ t~ T~ c~ Diu- - 2 Pv~~s ~o~ ~~ ~ S~-c~ -cam ~-• - 3 s[a~~s .
