Consulting Forester: Rick Herwehe 4t15198
The Vail Athletic Club renovation is a complex project that includes
adding new floors, refurbishing the exterior, replacing retaining walls and
installing a new water line. These procedures will require excavation, material
storage, scaffolding and increased pedestrian traffic. Each of these activities
can have a serious effect on the tree's roots, bole and branches if not carefully
planned and implemented.
A proactive approach to tree preservation must be implemented to meet
the owners goal of minimizing the construciion impacts to the trees. The
purpose of this document is to evaluate the potential impacts this project may
have on the trees and to present adequate mitigation measures to minimize the
effects of these impacts. Mitigation aclivities may include improving tree vigor
prior to construction, preserving the root zone on all trees designated for
preservation, treating trees effected by construction and prescribing post-
construction treatments to mitigate the cumulative effects of the poect on the
trees. During construction, the trees will be monitored for damage and stress
@ncems.
This document will address what trees presenfly exist on the site and
wfrich trees should be preserved or removed during construction. The potential
impacts the project can have on the trees will be evaluated and detailed
specifications for preservation will be presented. A timeline for monitoring tree
health and compliance will also be outlined in the plan. To obtain the maximum
benefit from this tree preservation plan, it must be considered a guideline rather
than an inflexible dicturn, because, invariably unanticipated social and biological
issues will emerge during the project, requiring changes to the document
Survey method
Trees on the site vl,ere surveyed in two ways. First, all of the trees were
identified on the site map. Next, the evergreen trees vrrere located on the ground
and identified with numbered aluminum tags. The aspen trees were not tagged
but they are well identified and numbered on the map. Additionally, the aspen
trees on the east side may be treated as clumps rather than individuals. Trees
marked individually were evaluated by species, diameter at the root collar, crown
diameter, health, condition, insect and disease presence and suitability for
preservation.
Tree diameter was measured at the root collar for the transplanted trees
and at 4.5' above ground for the indigenous trees. Crown diameter is the cross
section of the crown measured at the widest point. lnsect and disease concems
were noted throughout the survey. Health and condition ratings were based on
tree form, existing damage and annual growth.
o
Description of treee
Afl tree on the site, except for a20" diameter engleman spruce located on the
east side of the building, and some lodgepole pine near the spa, v\,ere
transplanted onto the property. Most of the trees were likely planted when the
building was originally constructed. Other large trees in the survey are not on
the property but very close tot he property line,
Four tree species are represented on the property; Aspen (Populus
tremuloides), Colorado blue Spruce (Picea pungens), Engleman Spruce (picea
englemanii) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). Most of the evergreens appear
to be in good health. A few of the spruce trees are lighily infected with cooley
gall aphid. Cooley gall aphid is an insect that infests the tender shoots of spruce
trees. The cooley spruce galls appear as light green or purple cucumber shaped
growths on the lateral shoots in May or June. The galls dry and tum brovwr by
late summer leaving unsightly grov(hs on the tree. Extended infestation by
cooley gall aphids can cause deformed growth and degrade the tree's health.
The ponderosa pine growing in the southeast comer of the property exhibits
signs of porcupine damage and a broken top. The aspen trees on the north
side of the property appear to be in good health and show no signs of root or
stem disease. The aspen on the northeast side of the athletic club are growing
in restricting areas too close to the building. Many of the aspen near the deck
on the southeast side of the athletic club are leaning, bent over and exhibit a low
crown to trunk height ratio.
Suitability for preservation
The goal of tree preservation is to have trees remain assets to the site for
years to come. Therefore, trees preserved on the site must be carefully selected
to make sure that they will survive construction impacts and perform well in the
landscape. Evaluating the tree's suitability for preservation includes the
following factors:
Tree Health
Healthy, vigorous trees can better tolerate the impacts of construction
such as root injury, soil compaction, changes in soil moisture and the demolition
of existing structures. With the exception of the pine tree in the properties
southeast comer, the evergreen trees are in good health and are growing well.
The aspen trees show a variety of condition and forms. The aspen in front of the
building are growing vrell and show good form. ln contrast, the aspen trees on
the east side of the building are tall and spindly, leaving them less than
beautiful and vulnerable to damage from spring snows. Some of the trees near
the deck are leaning or bent over.
Tree structure
Trees that contain decaying uood, poor crown structure, forked trunks
and other defects are not suitable for preservation. None of the trees on the site
exhibit poor structure. Most of the trees are young enough that any problem with
forked tops or poor structure could be culturally treated.
Species
Not all species respond to construction injury in a similar manner. Young,
healthy spruce trees are quite tolerant to construction stress. ln @ntrast, aspen
tree with their fragile bark and susceptibility to disease are intolerant of
construction impacts.
Potential longevity
Mature and overmature trees are less able to tolerate construction
impacfs than are younger trees. Wth the exception of the large spruce tree near
the southr,rest corner of the building, all of the evergreen trees on the site are
young vigorous. The aspen trees are allfairly young but not all are growing
vigorously.
lmpact Evaluation
It will be virtually impossible to retain trees on the construction site
without incuning some degree of injury or change in their environment. lf the
impacts are too server either the tree must be removed or the plans must be
changed.
There are turo components to evaluating impacts to trees:
1. determining what activity will occur around the tree from the site
development plans and specifications.
2. Evaluating the effects of direct injury to individual trees, as vrrcll as site-
wide changes that affect long-term health and stability
From reviewing the plans and evaluating the related activities, lt appears
that about five procedures will have direct effects on the trees; excavating the
water line, erecting and dismantling scaffolding, foot and vehicle traffic, storing

construction is determined, hand excavation will be used to determine how much
of the root system will be disturbed.
Sinoe very little regrading is taking place on the property, the trees should
not suffer from drastic changes in soil moisture. lf the tree protection zones
maintain their integrity, soilcompaction should not be significant problem during
construc,tion.
Material storage is always a difficult task on a building site. Proposed
storage sites for the Vail Athletic Club include the north side of the building ,
near the garage door and the south side of the building. Material taken to ihe
south side will likely be delivered to the south\,\'€st @rner then hand canied or
transported with a bobcat to the staging area. Matorials stored on the north
side must be kept out of the delineated root protection zone.
Materials moved to the south side of the building must be transported
under the drip line tree #201. Build a nooden walkrnlray to minimize soil
compaction. lf the crown must be raised to facilitate material handling, all
pruning must be done to the standards designated in the Specifications for
Preservation portion of this document. Fence the tree appropriately to
minimize damage to the bole. lf the bole is damaged a forester or arborist must
inspect and treat the wound. Tree#228 will be impacted by materials transport.
Fencing to specifications should mitigate most of the damage potential for this
tree. Aspen tree#73 will be removed for materials storage.
The lodgepole pine trees located near the spa \,r,ere impacted during an
earlier project. The trees have several scars, most vrere treated by removing the
loose bark and cutting the nrcund into an elliptical shape. The primary concem
for the trees in the back is that some of them were backfitled over and the extent
of excavation is unknown. Very little adivity will take place near these trees
during the proposed renovation.
Specifications for ffee preservation
Fertilizing
1. Deep root feed all spruce and pine trees to be preserved.
2. Feed with a root stimulating fertilizer.
3. Since these trees are all transplants, they should be inoculated with
myconhizalfungi . Myccoryzia fungi improves the root systems capability to
absorb water and nutrients.
4. Feeding will be performed in a radial pattem with the feeder needle being
inserted 8-10" below the soil surface. Insertions will be made at 1 B" intervals on
the edge of the drip line.
Fencing
1. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the tree protection zone,
as indicated in table 1-1, prior to demolition or grading. Plastic snorrvfencing
attached to metal posts driven into the ground will be acceptable fencing. lf the
fencing is continually damaged or torn down , it will be replaced with chain link
fencing. Fences will remain until construction is completed.
2. Fences around trees #217 and #218 may be temporarily removed to provide
access for installation and dismantling of scaffolding. The fencing must be
replaced after the scaffolding is in place
3. construction traffic and material storage must remain outside of the fenced
areas at alltimes.
Pruning
1. Prune tree #20'1 .
a. Prune dead branches from crown.
b. Remove scorcl'red area above vent.
c. Prune branches to provide adequate clearance for scaffolding and
construction crew.
2. An arborist or forester is to be present at all times during pruning. The tree
service must provide proof of insurance for liability and workers compensation.
3. All pruning will be within the Tree pruning Guidelines (lntemational Society of
Arborculture) and adhere to American National Standard for Tree Care
Operations (ANSI 4300)
4. Any additional tree pruning needed for clearance will be performed by an
arborist, and not by construction personnel.
Transplanting
1. Transplanttree#214 and possibly #213.
2. Transplanting will be performed using a tree spade not less than 90', in
diameter.
3. Transplanted trees will be staked using 'T'posts, 12 Gauge wire or 3/16"
cable and nylon tree ties.
4. The transplanting hole will be excavated to twice the width of the tree's root
ball.
5. The tree will be planted so the root collar is at grade or slighily (2") above
grade.
6. The bacKillwill be 3/4 topsoil and 114 soil removed from the hote.
7. Guy wires will be sheathed with a t least a 3' length of p.V.c. for visibility.
8. Stakes should be removed after two growing seasons to encourage the
tree's root system and improve stability.
General
1. Any activity within the tree protection zone must be approved and monitored
by the Consulting Arborist.
2. Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around
trees and labeled for that use.
3. Any grading, construction, demolition or other vrork that may encounter tree
roots should be monitored by the Consulting Arborist.
4. Do not store or dump excess soil chemicals, debris equipment or other
materials within the tree protection zone.
5. fnstall and maintain a 4"$" layer of mulch within the tree protection zone.
The mulch will help reduce soil compaction and moderate soil temperature.
Post-construction revegetation and landscaping
1. Turf grass should not extend into the drip line of existing tree.
2. Trees should be mulched to maintain soil moisture.
3. Bark Guards should be installed on all residualaspen trees.
4. care must be used wften installing irrigation systems. Avoid cutting any root
over 1" in diameter. lf roots greater than 1" in diameter are encountered they
should be tunneled under or pruned with a by-pass lopper, sharp shovel or a
SElw.
5. lf soil moisture becomes a problem, a separate inigation system should be
installed for the trees since they have different water requirements than turf
grass.
Monitoring tree health and compliance
Trees cannot be preserved during construction. Successfultree
preservation programs start during the planning phase when critical design
decisions are made. Horever, activities during construction and post-
construction phases are critical to successful tree preservation. in other uords,
trees cannot be preserved during construction but they sure can be killed during
construc{ion.
Monitoring tree health and compliance during construction helps ensure
that the program and details specified in this Tree Preservation plan are
properly implemented. The monitoring phase of the plan is fourfotd: 1)Maintain
the integrity of the Tree Protection Zone, Z) Assist with field changes,
3)Continually evaluate tree health and injuries, and 4) Communicate with the
superintendent, architect and the Vail Community Development department.
The frequency of inspections will depend upon the construction phase.
Generally, one walk through per r,teek will be adequate. During the waterline
excavation, demolishing the retaining vrall and wfien the trees are transplanted
the Consulting Arborist will be on site through most of the activity.
Site visiis will be recorded on a tree preservation inspection summary
report. Copies of this form will be copied to the superintendent, Tom Ouens of
John Perkins Architecture and Mike Mollica of Vail Community Development.
Post-construction treatments
Post-construction treatments will be recommended near the end of the
projec{. Treatment will be based upon the cumulative effects of construction
activities on tree health.
Summary
By applying the guidelines specified in this document, the trees at the Vail
Athletic club should survive the renovation project and continue to be an asset
to the site for many years to come. Again , this document provides guidelines
for tree preservation activities, but undoubtedly, throughout the project changes
design changes along with social and biological issues will mandate adjustment
to the plan. As long as all changes to the ptan are guided by tree biology and
sound Arborculture the tree preservation segment of the project should be a
success.

$ubjecu Vall Athletic Club Building Plans
Date 28 July 2000
George;
Gonfirming our conversation of this utonrin& we wish to eq)ress, on behalf of
Ronald Robef,tsorl the following objections to tJre building plans which have been
submitted for rhe renovation of the Vail Athletic Club:
l. Ttre eleyation of the cupola on the nontr side of the building has once again
bem increased to rhe point rejectd by the Town during irc design review
prooess. Where the orpola was to be about three feet below the ri<tge line of
the roof, it is novr between tluee and four feet above the ridge of t)re roof- This
is established by tbe pages A5.l and,{.5.2, particularly the north elevation on
page A5.2. The soutlr elevation on page A5,l is defective in that it should (but
does not) show the top of tlre cupola projecting aborrc the roof, on the far
(north) side of the building, because of the fact that it's pea* elevation is above
the roof ridge line.
2. Ttre plans do not indicate ary pener:rtion or modificadon ln the foof line of the
norrh side of the building associated wittr the elevator run-out. It maybe ttrat
this has been consciously eliminated and the problem resolved from below.
However, we don't want the derreloper to be coming back before the Town in
tlte mtdst of the project with a 'ty-the-waf' and a request for an inereaee in
roof elevation whidr is not indicated on these plans.
I have beerr advised by Tom Braun that these drawings w€re erroneous, and that
we will be receiving revised drawings. However, we leel that itt imponant that tlrese
concenrc be raised, in order ttrat they have your aneTtion in any future proposals.
firank you for your arrendon m these matters

Re Arborist Undate-6/30/00
Dear Dominic,
I received your fax transmittal ofJuly 19, 2000 regarding the update to the A-rborist's Report prepared for
the Vail Mountain Lodge (a.k.a VAC).
According to tlre update provided it appears that the Consulting Arborist is recommending the potential
removal ofa ffee (#215) from the development site. As you are aware this requires approval from the Town
of Vail. Please indicate on a revised landscape plan how and where thc removal of the tree in question, if
removed, will be mitigated. This information and the town's approval shall be required prior to the
removal of the tree.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. You can reach me by telephone at479-2145.
Sincerelv.

Review of the Building permit set for the Vail Mountain Lodge
Reviewed By Greg Hall
Reviewed on July 24, 2000
Which plan is to be the grading plan? Both the Civil and Landscape plans show grading. Which one is the
to be reviewed grading plan? Which ever one it is it will need to show existing and proposed contonrs /spot
elevations for all tie ins, top and bottom of retaining walls and Also top and bottom for the boulder slope
treatment greater than 2: I grading.
The landscape plan does not match the Civil site plan, there is a stairway on the southeast corner, an Inlet in
the sidewalk, and the existing contours don't match.
It isn't necessary to have both a curb and gutter and bollards at the pullout section. This is a bit ofoverkill.
You could just have curb and gutter, or have a pan or border and bollards both are not necessary.
Some ofthe proposed grades on the civil plan are inconect the 74 contour on the stair landing has a spot
elevation of 77.33.
There is grading taking place where the landscape plan shows treees are to remain. Northeast comer of the
building and the east comer of the parking structure.
Move the paver crosswalk to the east and add paver amount to the existing paver area or provide pavers for
the entire section between the two.
The raised transfonner will require DRB approval ofthe architecnral treatment to hide it.
With the note on the structural plans the front slab elevation is 72.73 Both the Civils and the Architectural
have this at 72.4.
There are places on the proposed curb iine in which the curb is higher than the existing asphalt. This will
need to be corrected in the field to match the proposed detail ofmin 2% slope for the asphalt patch.
East Meadow drive landscape detail shows grading of 1.5: I show the use of the boulders or provide 2: I
grading.
The heated sidewalk detail shows road base at 95% standard proctor compaction this should be 98 %o or
95 % modified.
The grading on the west side is no good. The difference for the sidewalk cross slope is l9o/o-24o/o.T:he
grading to the inlet is less than 2 o/o. The tree removal plan does not show how the storm sewer pipe will not
effect the existing trees.

Comments on Vail Mountain Lodge Full Permit
So far, I have identified the following building codes issues with respect to the plans received on July 21,
2000:
'l) lll still need details on fire-resistive assemblies, i.e., exactly which wall, floor-ceiling or roof-ceiling
assemblies have been selected to meet requirements for 1-hour or 2-hour fire resistance.
2) On the south elevation, the finished floor level above the upper basement is more than 12 ft. above
grade. Per the deiinition of "story" under Sec. 220,1997 UBG, this level would be defined as a "story" and
not a "basement." This would classify the building as a s-story building which would not be permitted to be
constructed as the proposed Type ll 1-Hour construction, leading to a need for Type ll F.R. construction
instead. Type ll F.R. construction has not previously proved to be feasible due to the structural details for
the existing building.
3) The west elevation, which faces the Mountain Haus, appears to show the use of combustible wood
siding on lhe exterior of the building, which is not permitted (see Sec. 601 .5.4, '97 UBC). Sec. 601 .5.4
otherutrise permits the use of wood under the conditions specified, as long as the walls containing the
wood front on a street or yard at least 40 feet in width and as long as any wood more than 15 ft., but no
more than 35 ft., above grade is approved fire-retardant-trealed wood.
4) The new restauranvbar space still appears to have openings connecting the three levels and to have
an open stair that also connects the three levels. This would classify the area as an "atrium" under Sec.
202, UBC, requiring the special design and construction features found under Sec. 402. In addition, a
stair connecting more than two adjacent levels is not permitted to be open, but must be enclosed in
accordance with Sec. 1005.3.3.
These are the major building codes issues identified to date. There may be additional comments on
August 14.

Re: Vail Athletic Club Un-Lardscaped Strip
Thank you for meeting with me'on Monday and going over the VAC/Byme Redevelopment Plan.
I was pleased to see that the area between VAC and the Mountain Haus is going to be landscaped. I am
sure the Mountain Haus will cooperate with this landscaping.
I appreciete you suggestion that this is the time for the Mountain Haus to submit plans for any
improvement we would like to make over the next several years. This would give the Town of Vail the
aUitity to coo1linate those improvements with the improvements being made by the VAC. lmprovements
such as the sidewalk across from the Mountain Haus and the VAC. The Mountain Haus may want to
resubmit a-rcquest to change our roofline to enhance the long-term drainage problems related to the
roofs design. Discussing the possibility of mo\ring the Electric Bus Gates was most intercslilE-
On Tuesday I spoke to Lynn Fritzlen about our previous designs for our North Entrance. She will be
proving mqwith materials so I can go to our Boad and enoourage them to submit a request for Planning
Degartment approval.
I also met with John Hildreth at VAC and went overlhe Redevelopment Plans. We agreed to keep the
gravel area clear of litler until the construction is complete. At the very minimum be agreed to landscape a
rock platter box behind the large rocks that are there now.
On Thursday I spoke to Ron Byme about his plans. He was enthusiaslic about the possibility of
cooperating with the Mountain Haus on improvements to East Meadoyv Drive. He invited me lo meet with
him next week to discuss what w€ can do to enhance one anothefs prcjects.

RE: Vail Athletic Club - FFU. AU. and Condo Floor Area Calculations
I have calculated the latest figures on square footage for FFUs, AUs, and dwelling units and have
compared these figures to the approved PEC plans and the PA zone dishict regulations. It appears that
the square footage of each use has increased. Based on the changes to the plans, I have determined that
AU and FFU square footage accounts fot 7LJAVo of the new GRFA (an increase of I percentage point) in
the building and therefore in compliance with the requirement that at least 707o of the new GRFA added
to a building be in the form of FFUs or AUs.

Total 33,845 sq. ft.35,142 sq. ft. + 1,297 sq. ft.
The Town of Vail (in the PEC memo dated March 13, 2000) indicated that there was 12,851 sq. ft. of AU
and FFU GRFA and 5,494 sq. ft. of dwelling unit GRFA being added to the building. Based on the
figures in the table above the total amount of GRFA on the property is being increased by L,297 sq. ft.
There is now 13,992 sq. ft. (7l.UEo) of FFU and AU GRFA and 5,650 sq. ft. (28.76Vo) of dwelling unit
GRFA being added to the building. This complies with the PA zone district regulations on GRFA.
The changes in GRFA come from the addition of floor areas within the building, modification of interior
layout and corridors, and more detailed calculations using centerlines of interior walls.

RE: Vail Athletic Club
Dear George:
Enclosed you will find submittal material applicable to the proposed re-development of the Vail
Athletic club (vAC). Three separate, yet related applications have been submitted:
l) Application for an Exterior Alteration in the Public Accommodation (PA) Zone District
to allow for the addition ofresidential units and building square footage in excess of
1,000 in accordance with Section l2-7A-12 of the Municipal Code,
2) Application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a fractional fee club in accordance
with Chapter 16 of the Municipal Code, and
3) A request to void existing SDD No. 30, which currently regulates development within the
subject property,
Approval of the requests listed above will allow for the comprehensive renovation and expansion
of the VAC. As you are aware, the Town has approved a number of re-development plans for
the property over the years. While some upgrading and renovation of the hotel, health club and
related facilities has occurred, the major renovation and expansion ofthe property as originally
approved in 1996 has yet to occur. The proposed renovation and expansion has been designed to
conform with the recently adopted amendments to the PA zone district. As such, a request to
void the existing SDD approval has been made.
Submittal material included with this application includes the following;

r Written statement describing the project, including the project's compliance with the PA
zone district development standards the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan, and CUP
criteria.
I also request a waiver to the requirement for a sun/shade analysis. This is due to the fact that the
proposed re-development does not alter the existing ridgelines ofthe building. It is our
expectation to have a massing model of the proposed building completed within the next two
weeks.
I want to thank you for your assistance to date and look forward to working with you on this
exciting project. Based on the PEC schedule, this application is to be considered by the PEC on
March 13'n. In anticipation of this hearing date, I think a work session with the PEC on February
28u would be very beneficial for all concerned. Let's discuss this work session and other aspects
of this application over the nexl day or two. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions you may have.

RE:Vail Athletic Club
Dear George:
Attached you will find a revised site plan and landscape plan. Revisions to this previously
submitted material include the following:
r The property boundary has been revised to reflect the most recently completed survey for the
property. This change essentially moves the western property line approximately 6 feet to
lhe east thereby reducing the size of the parcel to 29,749 square feet. This change has
affected site coverage, landscaping and setbacks in the following mamer:
Site Coverage - revised site coverage is 62A%
Landscaping - the reduction in site area has reduced the landscape requirement to 8,924
square feet. This reduction in site area has also eliminated a proposed landscape area of
330 square feet. As a result, the total landscape area is now 9,527 sqrare feet, or 32o/o of
the site area. The removal of the dining deck has converted 431 square feet from
hardscape to green area, reducing the overall percentage ofhardscape to l4.2Vo.
Setbacks - the proposed building expansion would encroach 8 to 9 feet into the side
setback. As stated in the original application, the two bay windows add an additional 2'
of encroachment over a very small portion of the west elevation. This change does not
affect the relationship of the two buildings - there is no change to the distance between
these two buildings.
o The dining deck has been removed from both the site plan and the landscape plan.
o The landscape plan has been revised with the addition ofbrick pavers to the proposed guest
drop-off area and a new brick paver pedestrian crosswalk on East Meadow Drive. Landscape
treatment on the west end of the building has been revised in response to the revised property
boundary. The addition of stone veneer to the town parking structure entry portal is also
indicated on the landscape plan.

I. DESCBIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Ron Byrne, represented by Tom Braun, is requesting a conditional use permit to
allow for the construction four Type lV and one Tyce lll employee housing units as part of the
redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa. The Vail Athletic Club & Spa is located at 352
East Meadow Drive at the intersection of East Meadow Drive and Vail Valley Drive.
The applicant is proposing to provide on-site, deed-restricted employee housing for six Vail
Athletic Club & Spa employees. To do so, the applicant is proposing to construct four, one
bedroom Type lV and one, two-bedroom Type lll employee housing units. The five units will be
located on the lower level of the hotel and will total approximately 1,6'10 square feet in size. The
Type lV employee units will average approximately 285 square feet in size and are designed to
meet the minimum requirement for Type lV units as prescribed in Section 12-13-7 of the Zoning
Regulations. This includes the provision of at least 150 cubic feet of storage space per unit and
not less than one washer and dryer for the five units. The one Type lll unit is approximately 466
square feet in size. The two bedroom unit has been designed io meet lhe minimum
requirements for Type lll units as outlined in Section 12-13-6 of the Zoning Regulations Each of
the employee housing units will be deed-restricted in accordance with the Town of Vail employee
housing requirements.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval of the applicant's reguesl for a
conditional use permit to allow for the construction of four Type lV and one Type lll employee
housing units as part of the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa, located at 352 East
Meadow Drive. Stafl's recommendation of approval is based upon the review of the criteria
outlined in Sections lV of this memorandum.
Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to approve the conditional use perr'flit
request, staff would recommend that the Commission make the following findings,
I
'That the conditional use permit request complies with the criteria as outlined in Section
IV of this memorandum. The proposed employee housing units fufther the development
objedives of the Town of Vail and will not be detrimental to existing or potential uses, nar
will they have any adverse effects upon the distribution ot light, air, traffic or population "
Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to approve the applicant's request,
staff would recommend that the following conditions be made part of the approval:
1. That the Developer executes and records employee housing deed-restrictions for eaclr of
the required employee units with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder's Office prior to the
issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, pgg tL16- ulctorr,t11,7,'.lp.o.t g,ur'lS-t€rybttowtt- F6E cl-rb u-rrF: Qoucrtrntt-rivtr.. r,tqr'b.2. That the Developei indicates the precise location and final location of the storage lockers
and washer and dryer on the plans submitted to the Town of Vail for a building permit"
The plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Departmerl
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
III. BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2000, the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission approved a major
exterior alteration and conditional use permit to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic
Club & Spa. The Commission's approval required that the developer provide deed-restricted
employee housing for a minimum of six employees in a minimum of five employee housing units.
These requirements were generated as a resull of an employee generation analysis completed
for the redevelopment proposal.
lv. CRITEBIA AND FINDINGS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERtr,llT
Upon review of Chapter 16 ol the Zoning Regulations, the Community Development Department
recommends approval of the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of
five employee housing units at the Vail Athletic Club & Spa based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development obiectives of 1r€
Town.
The provision of deed-restricted employee housing has been a long-
standing goal of the Town ol Vail. To insure that the private sector
participates in providing the much needed employee housing, the Vail
Town Council recently adopted legislation requiring developers to mitigate
not only the impacts ol development on the Town's infraslructure, but also
to mitigate the impacts of development on employee housing. Overall,
staff believes the developer will be mitigating the employee housing
i'npacts created by the hotel redevelopment and that this requesr fully
complies with the above-described criteria.
tI o
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities needs.
Staff believes that this request wiil not have any negative effects upon the
above-described criteria. In fact, staff believes the applicant's request will
improve the distribution of the population in the Town of Vail.
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotilr'e
and pedestrian safety and convenience, raffic flow and ccntrol,
access, maneuverability, and removal of snow lrom the street and
parking areas.
Staff believes that the request will not negatively impact the above-
described criteria.
4. E fect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to
be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in
relation to surrounding uses-
The Public Accommodation zone district allows for residential uses. The
existing uses in the immediate vicinity of the vail Athletic club & spa are
residential in nature (Mountain Haus, Cornice Building, Vorlafuer). Staff
believes the residential nature of the employee housing units are
compatible with the existing surrounding and potential uses and will not be
detrimental to the character of the area.

Re: DRB submittal for June 'l ,2OC0 Design Review Board Meeting
Dear George:
Thank you for meeting with me last week to discuss the Town's stream tract behind the Vail Mountain
Lodge. It was helpful in developing a landscape plan for this area. Included with this submittal you
should find a proposed landscape plan for this area and all submittal information necessary to complete
the DRB's review of this project and to comply with PEC conditions of approval. Specifically included
are the following:
. Revised site plan. These plans have been revised slightly to reflect minor changes to the exterior
(i.e., new door on the east end and revised handicap ramp).. Lighting details with fixtures indicated on the site plano Revised building elevations showing all proposed vents, chimneys, and other minor changese Proposed landscape plan to address the Town of Vail property at the rear of the building. Sign application and proposed sign program for the property (application materials attached)
The following provides additional comment on items listed above and other DRB related issues.
Clean-uo of Stream Tract
The owner is proposing to remove all of the timber retaining walls with minimal disturbance to the site,
generally clean up the area (i.e., remove debris, tree stumps, etc.), and restore disturbed vegetation.
Landscape Treatment of Town Stream Tract
It is our assumption that the previous owner of the VAC has "mowed" a portion of the Town's stream
tract. These actions have created a delightful "parkJike" setting. The intent of this landscape plan is to
retain this area as a public parkJike setting where users of the streamwalk can stop and enjoy the stream
and the sun. The concept is very similar to the park directly to the soulh of Gore Creek, the Roger Straub
Park. The Roger Straub Park is a beautiful setting between two private developments where the boundary
of where one property ends and other begins is blurred. Our proposal will provide a spur-path from the
current Town streamwalk into the green area and provide two public seating benches (per TOV
streetscape standards). The owner is also willing to maintain the area at no expense to the Town of Vail.

The Vail Village is a unique area where buildings frame public and private spaces, making property
ownership indistinguishable. The area to the rear of the VAC is a continuation of the concept developed
in the Village. We believe it would be a shame to make the area behind the VAC less accessible to the
public in order to try to draw a line between what is public and what is private. The owner believes the
proposed plan will invite the public into this public pocket park.
Utility Meters/devices at NE Corner of Building
These devices are being removed.
Grate over the Existing Transformer
The current grate covers a large utility vault, which is required to provide adequate access and air to the
Holy Cross Electric transformers contained therein. The proposal is to improve the appearance of this
area by placing an attractive metal grate over the vault. Details of this grate have been difficult to resolve
with the utility company, however, a detail of this proposed grate will be provided at the DRB meeting.
Civil Eneineering Drawins
Two copies of the proposed improvements to the streetscape are included with this submittal. Please note
that the old hot tub deck indicated on the plan is incorrect and should be ignored on this plan, as it has no
impact on the streetscape improvements.
Arborist's Reoort
This report is currently in draft form and will be submitted next week in compliance with the PEC
condition of approval (prior to building permit issuance).
As part of this application we request that the DRB make a site visit to the property and also to the Roger
Straub Park to view the similarities.
ffyou have any questions, please feel free contact me at 926:7 5'15.
Thanks again for all of your help and diligence on this project. You have helped make this project a real
success.

square footage being added is atop existing building foundation and is in the form of infill
development. The applicant is proposing to redevelopment the existing hotel in accordance wilh
the development standards prescribed for the Public Accommodation Zone District. lf the
proposal is approved, the existing Special Development District will be abandoned. The major
elements of the redevelopment proposal include:
. The complete renovation of the exterior of the building. The renovation introduces a new
architectural style for the building. The proposed improvements lo the exterior include a
combination of stone, wood siding, stucco and timbers. The new architectural style is more

III. BACKGROUND
November 1993 - The VailTown Council approved Ordinance No. 27, Series ol 1993,
establishing special Development District No. 30, vail Athletic club. The establishment of
Special Development District No. 30 allowed for up to 52 accommodation units, 4 dwelling units
and 4 employee housing units. The total allowable GRFA was 32,282 square feet with an
additional 17,000 square feet permitted for restaurant, club, lobby, etc. The underlying zoning for
the property is Public Accommodation
January 1996 - The VailTown Councilapproved Ordinance No.2, Series of 1996, amending the
Approved Development Plan for Special Development District No. 30. The amending ordinance
increased the number of allowable accommodation units to 55 and increased allowable GRFA to
34,505 square feet. There was no change to the number of dwelling units or employee housing
units.
March 1997 -The Planning & Environmenlal Commission approved a minor amendment to
Special Development District No. 30. The minor amendment allowed for modifications to the
parkng garage, restaurant, common areas and the balconies and decks of the accommodation
and dwelling units.
May 4 1 999 - The Vail Town Council denied Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1 999, amending the
Approved Development Plan lor Special Development District No. 30. Had it been approved, the
amending ordinance would have permitted an a reduction in the number of accommodation units
from 54 to 46 and increased the number of dwelling units back to four as originally approved.
October 1999 - The Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 23, Series of 1999, amending
the prescribed development standards for the Public Accommodation Zone District and
establishing a revised development review process. The approved amendments, in part,
increased allowable GFIFA to 150% of the site area, increased site coverage lrom 55% to 65%,
eliminated AU'siEHU'siFFU's from the density calculation, and changed lhe definition of a
"lodge". The building height, landscape and parking requirements remained unchanged.

V. MruOR EXTERIOR ALTERATION
The development review process for the proposed redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa
is estabfished in the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations. According to Section 't2-7A-12,
'The construction of a new building or the alteration of an existirg building shall be
reviewed by the Design Review Board in accordance with Chapter 11 of the Zoning
Regulations. However, any project which adds additional dwelling units, accommodation
units, fractional fee club units, any project that adds more than 1 ,000 square teet of
commercial floor area or common space, or any proiect which has substantial off-site
impacts (as determined by the Administrato) shall be reviewed by the Planning &
Environmental Commission as a major exterior alteration in accordance with this Chapter
and Section 12-3-6 of the Town Code."
Staff has determined that this request is a major exterior alteration, since the redevelopment
application includes an increase in the number of dwelling units, accommodation units, fractional
lee club units, and employee housing units to the site.
vail villaoe Master Plan
According to the Vail Village Master Plan, Action Plan, the Vail Athletic Club & Spa is located
within the East Meadow Drive Sub-area (5-1). The only recommended action in the sub-area is
the completion of the streamwalk. The streamwalk has long since been completed. No further
improvements are required,
Pursuant to the other elements of the Master Plan, the Vail Athletic Club & Spa is located in the
periphery area surrounding the Village (Land Use Plan), already exceeds the conceptualized
height (Conceptual Building Height Plan), has no negative impacts on the proposed open space
of Vail Village (Open Space Plan), and fronts upon a street devoted to accommodating both

Public Accommodation Zone Dlstrict
The lollowing development standards apply to this request:
USES
The only permitted uses in the zone district are "lo@es". A lodge is defined as a building
designed for temporary lodging of individuals or families in which the GRFA devoted to
accommodation units or fractional fee club units is equal to or greater than 70% of the total
GRFA,
The existing building is currently non-conforming with regard to the new definition of a lodge. In
the existing building 54o/" ol the total GRFA is devoted to accommodation units, This figure
includes 20 accommodation units and seven "lock-off" units attached to the existing dwelling
units.
As a result of the proposed redevelopmenl,6TVo of the total GRFA will be devoted to
accommodation units and fractional fee club units. This figure includes a total of 30
accommodation units and seven fractional fee club units. While this figure remains non-
conforming, the proposal represents a significant increase in the amount of total GRFA devoted
t0 accommodation unit and fractional fee club unit square footage on the property. However, in
accordance with the recently adopted language for the zone district, more than 70o/" oI the "neW'
GRFA resulting from this proposal is devoted to accommodation units or fractional fee club units.
Therefore, the proposal complies with the provisions of the Public Accommodation zone district
with regard to uses and GRFA.
SETBACKS
The minimum setback requirements for the property are twenty feet on all sizes. However, at
the discretion of the Planning & Environmental Commission, variations to the setback standards
may be granted, subject to the applicant demonstrating compliance with the following criteria:
1. Proposed building setbacks provide necessary separation beNveen buildings and ripartan
areas, geologically sensitive areas and other environmentally sensitive areas.
2. Proposed building setbacks comply with applicable elements of the Vail Villqe Urban Design
Guide Plan and Design Considerations.
3. Proposed building setbacks willprovide adequate availability of light, air aN open space.
4. Proposed building setbacks will provide a compatible relationship with buildings and uses on
adjacent properties.
5. Proposd building setback will result in creative design solutions or other public benefits that
could not otherwise be achieved by conformance with prescriMd setback standards.
The existing buibing encroaches into the required twenty{oot setbacks on all sides of the
property. The applicant is proposing additional encroachments. The additional encroachments
are requested pursuant to the criteria listed above. The areas of additional encroachment
include the expanded restaurant on the south east corner of the building, the bay windows on the
south side of the building and the new permanent front entry leature on the north side of the
building. The encroachmenls are shown on the attached reduced plans.
Staff believes that the proposed encroachments are warranted since they comply with setback
criteria identified in the Zoning Regulations, Specifically, the proposed expansions on the south
side of the building do not encroach into the so-foot stream setback, nor do they negatively
impact any geologically sensitive areas (floodplain). Furthermore, the expansions will not
negatively impact the residential uses located to the west of the property (Mountain Haus) as the
distance between the buildings continues to adequately provide for light, air and open spaces.
Lastly, the residential uses of the vail Athletic club & spa do not differ from the residential uses
of the Mountain Haus, and therefore, the use remains compatible with the uses on adjacent
properties. To further insure that the uses remain compatible, the applicant has located the
outdoor pool and restaurant on the east end of the development site where they will be operated
away from the Mountain Haus and the grade change of the site separates them from the Cornice
Building. Staff believes that the proposed setbacks result in a creative design solutions and are
beneficial to the public.
HEIG}TT
According to the Zoning Regulations, the building height for a building with a flat roof or mansard
roof shall not exceed forty{ive feet (45'). For a sloping roof, the height of buildings shall not
exceed forty-eight feer (48'). The existing height of the building currently exceeds 48'. The
overall height of the building will nol be increased as a result of the redevelopment proposal.
DENSITY CO]iITROL
Pursuant to the zoning Regulations, up to one hundred and fifty (1s0) square feet of gross
res,idential floor area (GRFA) may be permitted for each one hundred (100) square fe-et of
buildable site area. The final determination of allowable gross residential floor area shall be made
by the Pfanning & Environmental Commission in accordance with Section 12-7A-12: Exterior
Alterations or Modifications. Specifically, in determining allowable gross residential floor area the
Planning & Environmental Commission shall make a finding that proposed gross residential floor
area is in conformance with applicable elements of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan
and the Urban Design Considerations, Total density shall not exceed twenty five (25) dwelling
units per acre of buildable site area. For the purposes of calculating density, employee housing
units, accommodation units and fractional lee club units shall not be counted towards density.
Staff has reviewed the redevelopment proposal for compliance with the density control
regulations. The overall density ol the property will be 5.9 cfuvelling units per acre (4 du's X 1.46
acres). The maximum allowable density is 25 dwelling units per acre.
There is approximately 2'1,000 square feet of GRFA (70%) in the existing building. This includes
square footage devoted to AU's, DU's and EHU's. lf approved the GRFA square footage would
increase to 39,935 square feet (1 31%). The proposed square footage includes the 30
accommodation units, 7 fractional fee club units, 4 dwelling units and 5 employee housing units.
Most importantly, of the additional square footage (18,345 sq. ft.) being added, 70.1o/o (12,851
sq. ft.) is devoted to accommodation units and fractional fee club units and the remaining 29.9olo
(5,494 sq. ft.) is devoted to the 4 dwelling units. The numbers are exclusive of the EHU square
lootage in the building.
According to the statf analysis the proposal fully complies with the density control regulations.
SITE COVERAGE
Site coverage shall not exceed sixty{ive (65%) of the total site area. Final determination of
allowable site coverage shall be made by the Planning & Environmental Commission and/or the
Design Review Board in accordance with Section 12-7 A-12: E)Cerior Alterations or Modifications.
Specifically, in determining allowable site coverage the Planning & Environmental Commission
ancyor the Design Review Board shall make a finding that proposed site coverage is in
conformance with applicable elements of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design
Considerations.
The staff has reviewed the proposal for compliance with the site coverage limitation of
65%(max.). The applicant is proposing to increase the amount of site coverageby 2,082 square
feet. The existing site coverage is approximately 541o or 16,063 square feet and the proposed
site coverage will be 61% or 18,'145 sq. ft. Staff believes that the proposal complies with the Vail
Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Urban Design Considerations since all of the required
parking is enclosed in an existing parking structure and the proposal fully complies with the
landscape area requirement.
IANI'SCAPING AND SITE DEVELOPMENT
In accordance with the Zoning Regulations, at least thirty percent (307") or 8,924 square feet ol
the total site area shall be landscaped. The applicant is proposing that approximalely 3210 ol
9,519 square feet ot the site will be landscaped area. Staff believes the applicant has complied
with the landscape requirement.
PARKING AND LOADING
Otf-street parking and loading shall be provided in accordance with Chapter 10 of the Zoning
Regulations. At least seventy five percent (75oh) ot the required parking shall be located within
the main building or buildings and hidden from public view. No at grade or above grade surface
parking or loading area shall be located in any required front setback area. Below grade
10
underground structured parking and short-term guest loading and drop-off shall be permitted in
the required front setback subject to the approval of the Planning & Environmental Commission
and/or the Design Review Board.
Statf has reviewed the proposed off-street parking and loading for the Vail Athletic Club & Spa to
insure compliance with the prescribed regulations. According to the staff analysis, the
applicant's proposal lully complies with the regulations,
Over the years parking variances have been granted for the Vail Athletic Club & Spa. The
variances were approved by the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission in
accordance with the provisions ol the Town Code. Due to the granting of the parking variances a
legal, non-conforming situation has resulted. For purposes of this analysis, the parking
requirement has been evaluated based upon the existing and approved parking situation. There
are 22valet parking spaces on the site today. As a result of the proposed changes to the
building there would be a net decrease in the parking requirement of 6 parking spaces. The
elimination of 2,548 square feet of meeting room space (-21 spaces) and the conversion of 7
hotel d,velling units (-14 spaces) to accommodation units significantly contributes to the net
reduction. The result is an overall reduction in the parking requirement for the site. However,
since much of the parking requirement has been addressed as a result of the granting of parking
variances in the past, the will be no loss of parking on the site. The applicant has proposed to
provide space for a short-term guest loading and drop-oft at the new front entry.
The loading and delivery area will continue to be located at the west of the building. No loading
and delivery will be permitted from Vail Valley Drive.
Overall, staff believes that the applicant's proposalfully complies with the parking and loading
requirements.
MITIGATION OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
According to the Town Code, property owners/developers shall also be responsible for mitigating
direct impacts of their development on public infrastructure and in all cases mitigation shall bear
a reasonable relation to the development impacts. lmpacts may be determined based on reports
prepared by qualified consultants. The extent of mitigation and public amenity improvements
shall be balanced with the goals of redevelopment and will be determined by the Planning and
Environmental Commission in review ol development projects and conditional use permits.
Substantial otf-site impacts may include, but are not limited to, the following: deed restricted
employee housing, roadway improvements, pedestrian walkway improvements, streetscape
improvements, stream tracVbank restoration, loading/delivery, public art improvements, and
similar improvements. The intent ol this section is to only require mitigation for large-scale
redevelopmenVdevelopment projects that produce substantial otf-site impacts.
Staff has determined that the redevelopment proposal is a large-scale redevelopment project,
and therefore, the mitigation of development impacts shall apply. The applicant has proposed
various streetscape and employee housing improvements.
The streetscape improvements that shall be required are identified in the Town of Vail
Streetscape Master Plan. The applicant is proposing to construct the required improvements.
The improvements to be constructed by the applicant include the heating of the sidewalk on the
north side of East Meadow Drive from the east parking structure portal to the portal located
immediately to the west of the west property line and the sidewalk from the front entrance to the
hotel to the north end of the bridge on Vail Valley Drive. Also included will be the installation of
Town of Vail street lights, as identified on the site plan. The applicant shall be required to submit
a complete set of civil engineered drawings for the review and approval of the Town of Vail
Design Review Board and Public Works Department, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Other improvements include the application and continuation of the stone veneer into the east
11
o
portal of the parking structure. The stone veneer shall be reviewed and approved by the Design
Review Board.
The applicant is proposing to provide five deed-restricted employee housing units in the hotel. A
total 0f 'l,479 square feet of GRFA will be used to construct the units. This is an increase of one
unit and 209 square feet ol deed-restricted space over what is existing today. In determining
compliance with this criteria staff completed an Employee Housing Generation Analysis to
determine the incremental number of new employees that may be generated as a result of the
hotel redevelopment. The results of our analysis are listed below:
a) Health Club
b) ReslauranUBar
c) Lodging
d) Multi-Family (DU)
TotalEmployees = 77.2 employees
(- 68 existing employees) = 68 employees
(X 0.30 multiplier) = 3 "new" employees
Comollance with the Vail Villaqe Urban Desion Guide Plan
The following summarizes the redevelopment proposal's compliance with the applicable
elements of the Urban Design Considerations of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan:
Pedestraanization
The Club is located on streets with separated pedestrian walks. As part of the review of previous
SDD proposals, a number of improvements were contemplated for the wallways around the
project. Foremost among these were heating portions of the sidewalk and eliminating the
sidewalk west of the entry to the Club, The idea behind this change was to direct pedestrians to
the sidewalk on the north side of the street. These changes are included as elements of this
development proposal and are depicted on the preliminary landscape plan.
Streotscape Framework
The replacement of the sidewalk west of the entry to the Club will result in increased landscape
and planter area. The restaurant expansion on the south side of the building will create an area
of interest and activity along the street and the Gore Creek trail conidor.
Street Edge
Proposed expansions and cantilevers to the building will break up the mass of the existing
building and add variety, visual interest and greater articulation to the building. These
epansions along the street will maintain the vast majority of the mature trees that currently
surround the building. The proposed expansions will conform with the new oflset requirements
recently adopted for the PA zone district (no less than 50% if the building offset at least 5 feet).
VI. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Upon review of Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations, the Community Development Department
recommends approval of the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a
Emolovee Generatlon Analvsis
= 18,552 sq. ft. @(1.25/1000 sq. ft.) =23.2 employees
= 2,372 sq. ft. @(6.5/1000 sq. ft.) =15.4 employees
= 07 unirs @(1.00/unit)
= 4 units @(.4/unit)
= 37 employees
=1.6 employees

fractionalfee club within the Vail Athletic Club & Spa based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use:
Relationship and impact of the use on development oblectives of the
Town.
In January of 1997, the Vail Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 22,
Series of 1996. ln part, this ordinance amended the Public
Accommodation Zone District allowing fractional fee clubs as a conditional
use and set forth criteria for the Commission to consider when evaluating
such a request. Since that time the Austria Haus Club redevelopment
project has been completed and the Gore Creek Club has been approved
by the Town. The Austria Haus contains 28 fractional fee club units and
the Gore Creek Club has been approved to construct 66 units.
The applicant is requesting the issuance of a conditional use permit to
allow for the operation of a fractional fee club within the Vail Athletic Club
& Spa. The proposed club would be comprised of 7 two and three
bedroom club units. These units would range in size from 1,154 square to
1,873 square feet. The average club unit size is approximately 1,504
square feet in size. According to the applicant, the ownership of the club
units will meet the minimum requirements of fractional fee club units in
terms of intervals
Through the adoption of Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1996, the Town
further recognized the need for lodging alternatives for our guesls and
visitors. In passing the ordinance the Town Council found that quality
fractional fee clubs are an appropriate means of increasing occupancy
rates, maintaining and enhancing short-term rental availability and
diversilying the resort lodging market product within the Town of Vail.
Equally as important, the Council believed that fractional fee clubs were
simply another of many forms of public accommodations. lt has been a
long held belief that in order for the Town to remain competitive and on the
leading edge of resort development, that altemative lodging opportunities
must be created and creative financing vehicles for hotel redevelopment
must be implemented.
Staff believes that the conditional use permit for a lractional fee club within
the Vail Athletic Club & Spa will be beneficial to the Town and will have a
positive impact on the development objectives of the community.
The effect of the use on light and air, dlstribufion of populatlon,
transportation facilitiqs, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilltles needs.
Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously
discussed in Section V of this memorandum.
Effect upon traffic with particular referenoe to congestion, automotlve
and pedestrian safety and convenienoe, traffic flow and control,
acosss, maneuverabillty, and removal ol snow from the street and

parking areas.
Statf believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously
discussed in V of this memorandum.
Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use ls to
be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in
relation to surroundlng uses.
Staff believes that this review criteria has been satisfied as previously
discussed in Section V ol this memorandum.
Prior to the approval of a conditional use permit for a time-share
estate, fractional fee, fractional f€e club, or tlmFshare lic€nse
proposal, the following shall be considered:
a. ll the proposal for a fractlonal fee club is a redevelopment ot
an sxisting facillty, the fractional fee club shall maintain an
equivalency of accommodation units as pressntly existing.
Equivalency shall be maintained either by an equal number of
unlts or by square footage. It the proposal is a new
development, it shall provide at least as much accommodatlon
unit GRFA as fractional fee club unit GRFA.
The VailAthletic Club & Spa proposal is a redevelopment of an existing
hotel. The proposed hotel shall be required to maintain an equivalency of
the presently existing number of accommodation units, The applicant is
proposing to meet the equivalency requirement by replacing a greater of
accommodation units. According to information on file in the Community
Development Department 20 accommodation units exist today. The
applicant is proposing to replace and/or remodelthe existing units with 30
new hotel rooms totaling approimately 12,851 square feet.
b. Lock-off unlts and lock-off unit square footage shall not be
included In the calculation when determining the equlvalency
of existing accommodation units or equivalency of existing
square tootage.
No lock-otf units are proposed.
c. The ability of the proposed project to create and malntaln a
hlgh level of occupancy.
The fractional fee club component of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa proposal
is intended to provide additional hotel and "hotel-type" accommodation
unils in the Town of Vail. The applicant is proposing to incorporate 7
member-owned club units (fractional lee club units), with 30 new
accommodation (hotel) rooms. Although not in the present design, staff
believes that lock-off units provide an additional community benefit of
added "pillows". lf a fractional fee club unit owner purchases an interest
in a multiple bedroom unit, and does not desire to utilize all the bedrooms,
they can then have the opportunity of returning the unused bedrooms
(lock-offs) to a rental program.
14
d.
Staff feels that by providing lock-off unils, and managing the availaUlity of
the lock-off units in a rental program when not in use, a fractional fee club
project can significantly increase the availability of accommodation units in
the Town of Vail. Staff would recommend that the applicant provide "lock-
off" opportunities into the design of the fractional fee club units.
Through our research on the fractional fee issue back in 1996, staff then
identified some potentialpositive impacts of fractional fee units in the
Town of Vail:
A) Activity during the "shoulder seasons" tends to increase due to an
increase in year-round occupancy;
B) The attraction of revenue{enerating tourists;
C) The etficient utilization of resources. This is the "warm beds" concept;
D) More pride of ownership and community buy-in with fractionalfee club
units than with accommodation units:
E) Increased levels of occupancy; and
F) Increased resort exposure due to the extensive number of interval
owners.
Statf believes these potential positive impacts are stilltrue today.
Employee housing may be required as part of any netu or rcdevelopment
fractional fee club prolect requestang density over that allowed by
zoning. The number of employee housing units will be consistsnt with
employee impacts that are expected as a result of the proiect.
The staff included the fractional fee club units into the calculation of the
employee generation resulting lrom the proposed major exterior alteration
and conditional use permit requests. Based strictly on the number of club
units, the development will generate a need for 7 "neW' employees. When
the multiplier of 0.30 is factored in, 2.1 of the "ne#'employees which the
developer must provide deed-restricted housing for, are generated by the
fractional fee club.
e. The applicant shall submit to the Town a list of all owners of
exlstang units within the proiect or buildlng; in urritten
statements from 100% of the owners of existing units
indicatlng their approyal, without condition, of the proposed
fractionalfee club. No wrltten approval shall be valid if it is
signed by the owner more than 60 days prior to the date of
flllng the application for a conditional use.
The applicant, Ron Bryne, d.b.a. VML, L.L.C., and represented by Tom
Braun, has written legal authority to act on the behalf of the owners of the
property. No other written approval is required.

RE: VAC/CIIP/EHU
Dear George:
Attached you will find four (4) copies of the proposed floor plans for the VAC employee housing
units. These plans have been modified in order to meet the design standards for Type III and
Type IV units. In addition, approximately 120 square feet of employee unit square footage has
been added to the proposal that was approved by the PEC last week. This change increases the
total square footage devoted to EHU's to approximately 1,610. Another significant change to
these plans is that the Type III unit is now designed as a two-bedroom unit.
The storage lockers required for the four Type IV units will be located on the upper club level of
the building in an area that is currently used for employee lockers/lounge. This area of the
building is currently under study will likely be reconfigured in some form. I would propose that
the precise design and location of the storage lockers be handled as a condition of approval to be
addressed as part of the building permit approval. This will allow us time to evaluate this entire
area ofthe building in the context ofdefining this required storage space.
Please let me know ifthere is anything else I can provide in order to facilitate your review ofthis
conditional use permit application.
Sincerely,---\ o{\

a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of four Type lV and one Type lll employee
housing units as part of the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa, located at 352 East

"That the conditional use permit request complies with the criteria as outlined in Secflon
lV of this memorandum. The proposed employee housing units further the development
o
obiectives of the Town of Vail and will not be detnmental to existing or potential uses, nor
will they have any adverse effecfs upon the distribution of light, air, traffic or population "
Should the Planning & Environmental Commission choose to approve the applicant's request,
staff would recommend that the following conditions be made part of the approval:
1. That the Developer executes and records employee housing deed-restrictions for each of
the required employee units with the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder's Office prior to the
issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.
2. That the Developer indicates the precise location and final location of the siorage lockers
and washer and dryer on the plans submitted to the Town of Vail for a building permit.
The plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Department
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
III. BACKGROUND
On March 13, 2000, the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission approved a major
exterior alteration and conditional use permit to allow for the redevelopment of the Vail Athletic
Club & Spa. The Commission's approval required that the developer provide deed-restricted
employee housing for a minimum of six employees in a minimum of five employee housing units.
These requirements were generated as a result of an employee generation analysis completed
for the redevelopment proposal.
Upon review of Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations, the Community Development Department
recommends approval of the request for a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of
five employee housing units at the Vail Athletic Club & Spa based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the
Town.
The provision of deed-restricted employee housing has been a long-
standing goal of the Town of Vail. To insure that the private sector
participates in providing the much needed employee housing, the Vail
Town Council recently adopted legislation requiring developers to mitigate
not only the impacts of development on the Town's infrastructure, but also
to mitigate the impacts of development on employee housing. Overall,
staff believes the developer will be mitigating the employee housing
impacts created by the hotel redevelopment and that this request fully
complies with the above-described criteria.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities needs.
tv-
Staff believes that this request will not have any negative effects upon the
above-described criteria. In fact, staff believes the applicant's request will
improve the distribution of the population in the Town of Vail.
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion,
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and
control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the
street and parking areas.
Staff believes that the request will not negatively impact the above-
described criteria
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to
be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in
relation to surrounding uses.
The Public Accommodation zone district allows for residential uses. The
existing uses in the immediate vicinity of the Vail Athletic Club & Spa are
residential in nature (Mountain Haus, Comice Building, Vorlafuer). Staff
believes the residential nature of the employee housing units are
compatible with the existing surrounding and potential uses and will not be
deirimental to the character of the area.

Dear Mr. Ruther:
I want to thank you and the Tounr of Vail for the opportunity to
participate in the public hearings regarding redevelopment of the Vail
Athletic Club. I especially appreciate the concern shown by the
Planning and Environmental Commission, the Design Review Board,
and the Town Council for my view problem. The Town Council
addressed my concern by asking the Applicant to work with me to try
and find a solution, which was most gratifying and made me feel my
time was well spent in the process.
I also want to say that Tom Braun and Ray Storey went out of their
way to work with me to mitigate the impact on my view. I believe we
reached a very good compromise and I hope the redevelopment goes
forward without any major changes. You may introduce this letter at
future hearings if it vrould be helpful.
I would appreciate it if you would notiff Art Abplanalp if any design
changes were to be proposed which affect northern roof elevations as
viared from West to East. I have given Art Abplanalp a limited power
of attomey to act on my behalf in this matter.
Finally lwould like to thank the Town of Vail planning department.
The professionalism exhibited by the planning department and
members of the PEC, DRB, and the Town Council, at the hearings I
attended was more than I expected.
Very truly yours,
dr*"!-J e Qo4<fr"^

Re: VailAthletic Club GravelArea
The below planning was done before I leamed of Ron Bums and his associates redevelopment plans
for the VAC. I hope they are still of some interest in showing what can be done with the area.
John Hildreth and I discussed the landscaping of the gravelarea this falland that this spring we
would try and come up with an acceptable ldea for the area. In the mean time the no parking sign
and large rocks were place in front of the area. Dominic Mauriello thought this was a good interim
solution that would stop the illegal parking in this area.
This winter I used a landscape design program to
see what type of plants would grow in this area
and what they area might look like landscaped.
The computer programs rendering of what the
area looks like now is on the right.
The simplest landscape solution was to just plant
the area with gnass. Part of the area did have
grass before and a portion of that area died be-
cause itwas never watered. The computer pre
gram says that grass should grow in this area with
out a problem, if carcd for. A stone walkway /
drainage path was added.r{>
The intermediate solution is to landscape part of
the area with perennials and part of the area with
grass.
The final solution is b landscape the entire area
and branch of the walkway / drainage area with a
walkway to the back of the properg.
I hope you find the designs interesting. lt was very interesting landscaping the area by compute. The
program does show what can be done with the area. I look forward to uorting with you and aniving
at an acceptiable plan br the area. Enclosed are 8 x 10's of the landscape solutions.
Sincerely:
Brian Wagner
