RE: Antlers Construction Proiect. st2t00 On May l, 2000 a water line was broken during the demo process of the existing parking garage. The water that flooded the excavated area ofthe site was flowing into the Gore Creek through a surface drain system that was not well marked and wasn't protected from any form oferosion control. A pump was brought in and permission from Vail Associates was gran0ed to pump water into a grassy areajust south of the Lion Square Lodge, where the water and debris could settle before making its way into the Gore Creek. Hay bails were brought in and placed to try to slow down the debris and allow it to settle. Eagle River Water and Sewer was called, they responded and turned off the rvater valve. While at the site Tom Kassmel and I observed some issues that we felt needed attention and should be addressed- Please note other issues ofconcem that need to be address. t. A limit ofdisturbance fence was installed by Colorado Barricade, tlat fence is no longer there and disturbance on tlte site has exceeded what was originally approved in the staging plan. A green mesh 6' to 8'high fence around the site is required, the orange fence shall be removed. It is important that the fence be maintained. 2. Erosion Control meastres use during the installation ofthe storm drain has been damaged and is in need of repair. 3. The bike path has been damaged beyond the 20-ft. originally bonded. A new additional bond will be necessary. Amount of new Bond is set at $ 4975.00. Bond will be held until damage has been repaired and inspected. Amount refundable is $4900'00. Please note: The Lion Square Lodge with the General Contractor being R. A. Nelson bonded the entrance to the bike path, for access use only. No staging or parking is allorved. Casson Building Corporation mentioned they would not need access to bike path. 4. The original approved staging plan calls for no construction vehicles to park on site, all vehicles are to be at the west day lot. Contact all subcontractors and make them aware of this. 5. No staging of materials / equipment on bike path or Town of Vail right of way areas' 6. Traffic control is required at all times whcn equipment is on bike path or on Lionshead Place. 7. Equipment has damaged some tl€es that are on'Iown of Vail land, west of bike path between the Antlers and Lion Square Lodge. 8, Clean up ofdebris that was pump into Vail Associates land and bike path area is the responsibility ofthe general contractor, clean up must be done as soon as possible. 9. No track equipment is allowed on any Town of Vail street or bike path v'ithout some form method to protect the asphalt/concrete. Notify any sub contractor and make them aware. 10. Proper measures shall be taken for any further construction dewatering. Delvatering shall be in compliance with A.C.O.E. Dervatering Permit. Please address the above concerns as soon as possible, If 1'ou have any question, please feel free to call me. Thank vou. Leonard C.

Each of the following issues will need to be addressed prior to the issuance ofa building permit: o An easement shall be established that allows pedestrian/bicycle use ofany sidewalk that encroaches upon the Antlers' property. tr A grass-crete surface shall be shown on the proposed plans. The grass-crete surface is intended to provide all-weather access to the new electrical transfbrmer. Access to the transformer shall be access Tract A. A roadbase subsurface shall be provided beneath the grass-crete accessway to prevent damage to the turfarea. o The developer shall agree in writing to contribute to the Town of Vail Parking Fund for any required parking spaces that are not provided on-site. The contribution shall be made prior to the issuance ofa temporary certificate of occupancy. c There is conflicting information on the parking structure drainage plans (sheet P-3). The proposed oiVsand separator is shown in two different locations. Additionally, a drainage plan indicating how surface runoff is handled liom the rop deck must be provided. The plan shall show how the system is connected to the lower level. o The drain pan along Lionshead Place needs to be designed so that there is a continuous flow and smooth radius at the Marriott properry line (sheet C-8). Q There are a number of inconsistencies in the road subsurface and sidewalk subsurface details (sheet C- 10.2). Please correct these inconsistencies. D Please provide additional infbrmation on the proposed bike path realignment (sheet C-7.2). Please include proposed erosion control measures and identiff the location ofthe 100-year floodplain. The maximum allowable finish grades shall be 2: l. o An inlet or culvert is required in the drainpipe on the east side ofthe building. The inlet or culven is required to prevent surface drainage over the proposed pedestrian path. I will continue to forward information to you as I receive it. In the meantime, should you have any questions or concerns regarding the information addressed in this letter, please do not hesitate to call. You can reach me bv teleohone at 479-2145. {S *u"r"*o"n * Sincerely, rGR,*u George Ruther, AICP Senior Special Projects Planner Town of Vail Xc: Greg Hall, Director of Public Works & Tranportation Tom Kassmel, Project Engineer Leonard Sandoval, Construction Inspection From: Fobort Levine l-970476-4746 To; Community Do',/dopment o Dale: O2ll7 /2M Timer I0:38138 AM PagE 2 dt 2 ANTL€RS 4T \NL 680 W.

As you may remember, the approval last year for our upcoming redevelopment included a parking variance for about five spots, We made the claim last year, and still maintain, that our actual need for parking is FAR less than the Town's requirements. To that end, and in the interest of maldng an informed decision, l'd like to ask you to swing by the Antlers once or twice during the next few weeks and take a quick lmk at our parking lot. This moming when I pulled in, there were about twenty-five empty spots, and our occupancy last night was 83%, That's a typical situation. As you would expect at this time of year, we are between 90 and 100 percent occupied for all of the next two weeks. lf you come during the day, you'll see a dozen or so cars belonging to employees (but guests will be coming and going). During the evening, you'll see only guests (and undoubtedly some "crashers'). I know this lsn't scientific, but I don't know how else to lmpress on you the fact that we're being asked to provide much more parking than we need. Incidentally, we currently have 70 condominiums and 70 parking spots (regardless of what the records show ... you can count'em). As you willsee, that's more than enough parking, With our new 24 condominiums and 7 EHU's we are required to proMde 14G some parking spacest Ouch. I beg you to come by to see for yourself, and then please oh please apply the "common sense" test to this lssue.

Good news ... we seem to have accommodated (at least for now) those few owners who wanted some changes made to our project which would have required further ToV review.

With regard to the employee housing, as a condition of approval the Town had required us to deed restrict the seven new EHU's and two existing one-bedroom units on site, for a total of nine bedrooms. Instead, we propose to deed restrict the seven new units on site (one of which we can make into a two bedroom) and a three-bedroom unit that we own in East Vail. lt is on the bus route at 51 15 Black Bear Lane. That would give us a total of eleven deed restricted bedrooms, rather than the nine required. I would think that's clearly in the Town's best interest. Please let me know if there's any problem with this approach. Per our conversation, if I don't hear from you I will assume that this is acceptable.

The applicant is proposing to provide deed-restricted housing for 90% of the new employees generated by the redevelopment. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows: Staff Recommended Ranse Calculations: The staffbelieves thrt the Antlers Condominiums will create a need for 9.6 (10) additional employees. Of the additional emploFes, at least 2.8 (3) emplopes (30%) will need to be provided deed-restricted housing by the developers. a) Multi-Family DwellingUnits =24 units @&/ullrrt) = 9.60 emplolees Total = 9.60 employres (X 0.30 multiplier) = 2.88 new employees Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two emplopes per be&oom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible ofaccommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type III employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. PROS & CONS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL hos - The upgrading ofan existing outdated building in Lionshead - The implementation of the recommended streetscape improvements - The mitigation of directly related off-site impacts - An increase in the supply of deed-restricted housing in Lionshead - The elimination of a surface parking lot Cons - No new accommodation units are being proposed - All of the required parking is not being provided - The opportunity for redevelopment is not being fully capitalized upon- More improvements could be implemented to the existing building F :\everyone\pec\menn s\antfact OUTLINE SPECIFIGATION MaY 15, 1999 ANTLERS CONDOUTNIUU ADDITION'REDEVELOPTENT RESIDENTIAL: Occupancy Group R-1, Construclion Type I F'R' PARKING GARAGE: Occupancy Group S-3, Conslruction TYPe 1 F.R. 7,140 S.F. 13,200 s.F. 2,200s.F. 4,120 S.F. 3,860 S.F. 3,500 s.F.

Trees and sod were planted in the early seventies. A sprinkler system was installed shortly after that. All lawn care and plant maintenance has been at the Antlers' expense. Likewise, the lawn and flower beds adjacent to the bike path just south of the building have been planted and maintained by the Antlers. Much of that is also on public property. The Condominium Association would be happy to make a commitment to continue this practice in the future. Recreation Plan: Since 1992 the Antlers has had an ongoing agreement with the Vail Recreation District. The Antlers provides housing at no charge to the District whenever there is a need; whether for camp coaches, tournament referees, special events or job applicants. In exchange for this, the Antlers guests and owners enjoy free access to some of the District's facilities such as the Lionshead tennis courts, public skating at Dobson lce Arena and the Nature Center. .rr There are some limits to availability on both sides, but in'the-past seven years the Antlers has provided 745 nights of complimentary lodging under this program. The retail value of that lodging has been $105,320. This is a classic case of a '\ruin-win", public/private partnership. By using excess capacity at little or no cost to the Rec. District, the Antlers has been able to promote a free benefit for its guests. Those visitors have enjoyed and utilized recreation amenities that they otherwise may not have, adding to their overall Vail experience. The The lot. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (9701476-2471 rnx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net The Rec. District has been able to save significant funds that they can presumably put back into programs and infrastructure, which in turn provides a better experience for everyone. The Antlers has committed significant time, energy and money into the promotion of this program, and has no intentions of letting it drop. Although entertainment and education may not fall under the strict definition of "recreation", we think that they too, are an integral part of the Vail experience for both guests and residents. The 745 nights of complimentary housing provided to the Recreation District pale in comparison to the cumulative amount given to a plethora of other organizations in the Vail Valley. These include, but are not limited to: Echo Ranch VailTomorrow Trout Unlimited VailSymposium Bravo! Colorado Ducks Unlimited VailArts Festival Special Olympics Yail Jaz.

This is not going to change, although the additional units associated with the proposed redevelopment will help allow that support to grow even more in the future. 4NTL(R ,# SA T \NIL September 14, 1998 The proposed redevelopment of the Antlers Condominiums has become known as "Antlers 2000'. lts sole purpose is to bring our property up to the standards of the coming century, both in terms of the aesthetics that Vail deserves and the functionality that our visitors expect. A summary of the project includes: Demolish the existing parking structure (this includes the entry foyer, lobby, some offices and all meeting facilities) Rebuild the parking structure with 106 underground spaces Construct an attractive motor court with 8 short term parking spaces for arrival, drop-off, van pick-up, etc. Construct all new lobby/reception area, offices and conference facilities Construct 24 new condominiums (for sale) with a mixture of two, three and four bedrooms Construct 7 units of employee housing (for rent) Replace all siding and railings on the existing building to match the exterior of the new construction Install fire suppression sprinklers throughout the existing building, as well as the new construction Like much of Lionshead, the Antlers was built in 1972by developers looking to make a quick buck. Attention to quality and detail is generally absent in both the architecture, as well as the building infrastructure. While it may be possible to assess the ownership over time for all of the essential improvements, most likely those assessments would turn out to be "band-aids" for the worst elements of the property, without significant enhancements being made. They would most likely take place piecemeal over time, and would certainly not effect meaningful strides toward the implementation of the Lionshead masterplan. As one example of this, without the complete redevelopment plan, the Condominium Association needs to spend $500,000 on the parking structure just to extend its useful life 10 - 15 more years. This would be a substantial commitment from the owners, with absolutely no visual or functional improvement to the property. By comparison, Antlers 2000 will result in virtually all of the parking going underground, yielding much improved aesthetics for the entire neighborhood. Another example of the benefit associated with larger redevelopment is the ability to incorporate a meaningful number of employee housing units into the project. This just won't happen without the sales of additional units to subsidize their cost. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (97O\ 476-247'l FAX (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Our hope is to start construction in the spring of 1999. In order to do that we must begin the Town of Vail entitlement process now. We have been prepared to submit our application for some time, but have been waiting for completion of the Lionshead masterplan. We regret that we must begin the process now, under the Special Development District guidelines; but sincerely hope that our project will meet all of the eventual criteria of the masterplan. We would like nothing better than to convert our application from an SDD to one of "conforming use" if and when the completed masterplan will accommodate it. There are currently 70 individually owned condominiums in the Antlers. The redevelopment would increase that number to 94. There will also be seven new employee housing units on site. Other than those two changes, the nature and uses of the property will be identical to today's. The common areas will obviously be much improved, which we expect to help increase our short-term rental business. The anticipated construction schedule has parking lot demolition in late April, 1999. The building will be closed to rentals for seven months. By next December we expect to have the parking lot completed, as well as the new lobby and offices. The superstructure of the new condominiums will be complete and hopefully under roof. That will enable us to re-open for hotel operations, although with the appropriate forewarning to our guests that the property is still under construction. The new units, the conference facilities and the employee housing will all be completed between December, 1999 and July, 2000. Landscaping and all final details will be completed by September, 2000. In addition to improving the property for our own self interest, we firmly believe that there are a number of important community benefits associated with Antlers 2000. These obviously include the improved appearance from every direction and the creation of on-site employee housing. Less tangible, but perhaps even more important is having someone to show the rest of Lionshead that large scale redevelopment is in fact possible. Condominium associations make up eighty percent of Lionshead. lt is absolutely daunting to them to consider this type of project. lf we really hope to see significant improvements to Lionshead, it will help to have someone set the example. We at the Antlers would like to be that example. 4NTL(R '# SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To: Town of Vail Staff, DRB, PEC and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date:9114198 Subject: Antlers 2O0O I Design Considerations Friends, Like the Town of Vail, we desperately want to improve the aesthetics in our little corner of Lionshead. Indeed, our initial motivation for the whole Antlers 2000 project was simply to dress up the building. We have wrestled with the desire to move as architecturally far away from our existing building as possible (for obvious reasons), yet the hope that the end result would not appear as two separate properties. We welcome the fact that whatever exterior finish goes on the new structure (stucco & stone?) will be retrofitted over the existing building as well. The prospect of ridding ourselves of T-1 11 forever is a joyous one ... we knew you'd like that too. In addition to the existing T-111, the rest of the current exterior is made up of exposed aggregate. Since that cannot functionally be changed, our hope is to match its color and incorporate the texture of the round rocks, albeit much larger, with a river rock fagade similar to that found on the new gondola building. We realize that our proposed roof pitch is less than that suggested by the Lionshead masterplan, but our intentions to make the new structure "fit" with the old one directed us to match the existing 3/12 pitch. In response to initial feedback, we have now incorporated dormers into the roof form in order to increase the interest and articulation. z a 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (9701476-2471 FAx (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Eliminating our parking lot "front doot'' is clearly a huge improvement, and we have tried to incorporate the "entry gate" theme from the masterplan recommendations. As you approach the building driving south on Lionshead Circle, the new structure will (happily) almost completely hide the existing building behind it. However, since the existing building is still about nine feet taller than the new construction, the skyline will not be changed until you get quite close to the Antlers. Initial reaction to our plans has been generally positive. However, there have been some suggestions that we need to move even further away from any elements of the existing building. We would then need to incorporate more changes to the older part in order to make it all cohesive. While these goals are admirable, I beg you to consider the difficulty in gaining the necessary consensus from a condominium association. I certainly don't mean to suggest compromising our objectives in any way. However, I hope you agree that significant improvement, while perhaps shy of perfection, is still far better than the status quo. Thanks very much for your time, we're looking forward to working with you through the process and building a product that will be a huge improvement for us as well as for Lionshead and the Town of Vail. O 4NTL(R ,ry SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To:Town of VailStaff, PEC, DRB and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date: 9/14198 Subject: Antlers 2OOO lCondominium Rentals Friends, Like the Town of Vail, we want to insure that any new condominiums will be actively rented. While not sure how to guarantee that outcome, we are confident that we can effect it. We think our history proves that. Currently 69 out of the 70 Antlers units are actively rented. In the past twenty years there have never been more than two units which were not in the rental program. Last year our paying occupancy was 56% and total occupancy with owners, guests and comps was 61%. Those numbers have been generally very steady, although increasing slightly over the years. This has not happened by accident. We have taken several measures to insure the rental of our condominiums, and plan to do the same with the new units. Perhaps most important is the association's decision to set the condominium fees (fixed costs) relatively high and the rental split relatively low. That split is currently 64% to the owner and 36% to the association. Someone who doesn't rent their unit has only the high fixed costs, but those who do rent see their fees offset with a higher percentage of the rental income. This scenario tends to attract buyers who are generally interested in renting their units from the outset. There has been discussion by our board of directors about returning even more of the rental dollars to the owners, and increasing regular assessments still further. Almost every Antlers owner uses their unit during the course of the year. Many of them let friends and family use it extensively. We encourage that use. Despite the fact that the association gets no income from it, we recognize the utility of that usage and the important role it plays in their total satisfaction as an owner. Doing otherwise might discourage their willingness to rent their condominium the rest of the time. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-247'l rax (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Maintenance costs and housekeeping fees are extremely reasonable to those owners who rent their units. We charge a maximum of $20 per hour for our maintenance staff time, including modest electrical, plumbing and even some remodeling work. For housekeeping, owners pay just a $29 check-out fee when they stay in their unit for a week. They get full daily maid service at no charge. Similarly priced services are not offered to those who don't participate in the rental program. Something happened recently which demonstrates our association's commitment to a strong rental program. You need to understand that the Antlers has a twenty day right-of- first-refusal period during which any existing owner (or group of owners) can match the terms and conditions of a bona fide offer and in effect "steal" a contract from a prospective condominium buyer. Last year someone contracted to buy an Antlers one-bedroom condominium for $230,000. They made it clear that they did not intend to rent the unit. Within two weeks an LLC was formed and twenty-four existing Antlers owners agreed to put in $10,000 each. Their intent was to buy the unitl'usf to keep it in the rental program. One of those owners then agreed to buy the unit themselves and keep it as a rental. They ultimately did so, but the LLC exists today and most of those owners are still prepared to act if necessary. The projected price point on our new units is $425 per square foot. While this certainly seems high, it's not too much more than the $368 price of the last Antlers sale. We think that recent prices of six and eight hundred dollars per foot in Vail Village attract a clientele not inclined to rent their units. While we expect the new Antlers units to be better quality than the existing units, they will at least be in the same league; nicer than anything else in Lionshead, but not "trophy home" material. Our understanding is that reouiring someone to rent their unit gets onto very shaky legal ground. We have been told that doing so would require us to register with the SEC and sell these units as securities. lf the Town of Vail can help us figure out a way to do it, we would be more than happy to cooperate. However, short of that, we hope you understand that we have the very same vested interest as the Town in keeping all of our condominiums as "live beds". We will do everything we can to make sure that happens. 4NTL(R ,ry SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To: Town of Vail Staff, PEC, DRB and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date: 3/31/99 Subject: Antlers 2000 lParking Requirements Friends, There are currently 70 parking spaces at the Antlers. With 69 condominiums, 2 employee housing units and a staff of twenty on any given day, we rarely, if ever, run out of parking. We estimate that more than half our guests arrive via shuttle service during the winter. That number is far less during the summer, but still about 1 5 - 20o/o. More than half of our staff carpool to work, and always has. Occasionally during a summertime weekend we need to ask a couple of our employees to park in the Lionshead Structure. During the winter it is never a problem. As a matter of fact, we generally have so much excess capacity that there are quite a number of other "special friends" who park at the Antlers regularly. These include two WTCB employees, family members and friends of our staff, several ex-owners who now own property down-valley and more than a few past Antlers guests who sometimes drive up for the day. Not to mention the number of locals who know that Rob doesn't know how to sav "no". We are totally confident that with an increase of 24 rental units and 7 units of employee housing, along with a commensurate increase of 40 parking spots, we will have even more excess parking capacity than we do currently. lf necessary, we are prepared to tell some number of the employees living on-site that they are not allowed to keep a car on property. We currently have four employees living on-site. They own a total of two cars. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 FAX (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net I a OP tuly 8, 1999 Rob Levine Gcneral lvfauger Anders Cordominiums 610 W€sl Liomslrcad place -t-\- Re: Antlers Redevelopmcnt DsarRob, Coogratulatios!

Lionshead Pl./ Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 4th Filing. Applicant: Antlers Condominium Association, represented by Robert LeVine Planner: George Ruther I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The applicant is requesting a major exterior alteration to the Antlers Condominiums pursuant to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The applicant's proposal includes adding 24 new, two and four bedroom condominium units, 7 new EHU's, a banqueUmeeting room, administration otfices, a skier room, new levels to the existing parking structure to add 25 new spaces, and other miscellaneous improvements to the common areas, storage areas and administration areas of the building. The new construction will add approximately 49,785 square feet to the existing building. Of the 49,785 square leet of new building area, 35,265 square feet is residential area (24 condominiums/7 ehu's), 9,065 square feel is common areas, and 5,455 square feet is storage and administration areas. The exterior of the existing building will also be upgraded. The applicant is proposing to remove all the T-111 siding from the building, repair and replace the chimneys, implement streetscape improvements along Lionshead Place, modify an existing pool deck encroachment upon the bike path, and cooperate with the Marriott to improve the landscaping along the common west property line. Each of these improvements is intended to bring the building into compliance with the goals and recommendations of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit, pursuant to Chapter 16 of the Zoning Regulations. A conditional use permit is necessary as the applicant is proposing multi-family dwelling units, employee housing units and a small conference facility on the first floor of the buifding. Pursuant to Section 12-7H-3, Permitted and Conditional Uses; First Floor or Street Level, each of the previously described uses is a conditional use requiring a conditional use permit to be issued. Lastly, the applicant is also requesting a variance from Section 12-10-10 of the Zoning Regulations to allow for a reduction in the number of required parking spaces. Pursuant to the Zoning Regulations, 56 parking spaces are required based upon the new uses proposed within the building. The applicant was originally proposing to construct 25 new spaces and was requesting a variance of 31 spaces. However, the applicant has revised the Parking level plans and is now proposing valet parking spaces. The total number of valet spaces proposed is 72. lt the revised parking level plans are approved by the Town Engineer, a parking variance will no longer be necessary. lf a variance for parking is required, the applicant shall be required to contribute to the Town's Parking Fund lor those spaces not provided on-site. The variance request is discussed in greater detail in Section Vlll of this memorandum. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends approval of the proposed major exterior afteration to allow for the construction of 24 new condominiums, 7 employee housing units and the other various improvements, the conditional use permit to allow multi{amily dwelling units, employee housing units and a conference facility on the first floor of the building, and the variance from Section 12-10-10 of the Town Code to allow for a reduction in the parking requirement. Staff's recommendation of approval of the three requests is based upon the review of the criteria outlined in this memorandum. Staff would recommend that the Planning & Environmental Commission approve the applicant's proposal, subject to the following findings: 1. That the proposed location of the 24 new units, the employee housing units and the conference facility is in accordance with the purposes of the Zoning Regulations and the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use -l zone district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location ol the Antlers Condominiums and the 24 new units and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in lhe vicinity. 3. That the proposed use complies with the goals and recommendations of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 4. That the granting of the parking variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 zone district. 5. That the granting of the parking variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity of the Antlers. 6. That there are exceptions or exlraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the parking variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the Lionshead Mixed Use - 1 zone district. Staff's recommendation of approval is also subject to the following condations: 1. That the owner/applicant ensure that the utilities to this site are all placed underground for the entire length of the site prior to the issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the development. 2.The applicant shall provide a performance bond to the Town of Vail with the Town of Vail as the beneficiary in the amount of $72,800 to financially secure the applicant's proportionate cost for improvements to the east and west intersections of the South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle. The bond shall be established prior to the issuance of a building permit and the duration of the bond shall be for a period of I years from the date of building permit issuance. Should the intersection improvements not be commenced within the I year period the Town of Vail shall release the applicant and/or its successors of the financial obligation of the performance bond. That the owner/applicant obtain approval by the Town ol detailed civil engineering drawings for all proposed improvements including roadway, streetscape and drainage improvements, prior to the issuance of a building permit The streetscape improvements shall comply with the Lionshead Master Plan and extend from the Marriott property line to the bike-ped path between the Antlers and Lionsquare Lodge on Tract A. An easement shall be established that allows pedestrian-bicycle use of any sidewalk that encroaches on the subject property, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The northside pedestrian ramp shall be modified so it does not interfere with the sidewalk. The owner/applicant shall deed restrict the I Type lll Employee Housing Units in accordance with the Zoning Regulations, prior to obtaining a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy on the project. The southeast corner of the swimming pool deck shall be removed so that it does not overhang the bike-ped path. The applicant shall enter into an agreement with the Town that requires the sight distance and grading of the path around the pool to be improved within 5 years to the satisfaction of the Public WorK Department' A maintenance agreement shall be established that requires the applicant to maintain the landscaping on the Town owned parcel of land that is immediately east of the Antler's parcel, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The building plans, rooftop mechanical plans, landscape plan, tree protection plans, and dumpster enclosure details shall be reviewed and approved by the DRB, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The applicant shall improve the north bank of Gore Creek from the trees that are southeast of the swimming pool to the east parcel line by removing all debris and materials that have been dumped, and restoring the bank to an appropriate vegetative state. That the applicant contribute to the Town's Parking Fund for those required parking spaces not provided on-site. The contribution shall be made prior to the issuance of a building permit. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. a 10. 11. 12.That the Town Engineer review and approve the proposed parking level plans prior to the issuance of a building permit. PBOS & CONS The proposal will enhance the Lionshead village economically by providing more units that will bring more people. The appearance of the village will be enhanced by the upgrading of the existing building and by the addition of the new building which meets current design guidelines. The redevelopment will act as a catalyst for other property owners in the village to upgrade their properties. On the other hand, the appearance of the existing building is not being improved significantly. The new addition could affect adjacent properties by impacting their views and sunlight. And the proposal does not include any accommodation units, although the condominiums are often rented out. COMPARISON OF EXISTING TO PROPOSED BUILDINGtv.

In the case of the parking requirement there is a deficient ot ???? spaces. The applicant is requesting a parking variance as part of this proposal. The parking variance request is discussed in detail in Section Vlll of this memorandum. VI. EMPLOYEE HOUSING REOUIREMENTS As indicated in a number of the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing affordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be addressed through ihe planning process for large scale development proposals. In reviewing the propoial for employee housing needs, staff relied on the Town of Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. The guidelines contained within the report were used most recently in the review ol the Austria Haus development proposal. The Employee Housing Report, was prepared lor the Town by the consulting firm Rosall, Remmen and Cares. The report provides the recommended ranges of employee housing units needed based on the type ot use and the amount of floor area dedicated t0 each use. Utilizing the guidelines prescribed in the Employee Housing Report, the staff analyzed the incremental increase of employees (square footage per use), that results from the redevelopment. A copy of the for Vail Exoressed as Emplovees oer 1000 Souare Feet has been attached for reference. The figures identified in the Housing Report are based on surveys of commercial-use employment needs ol the Town of Vail and other mountain resort communities. For comparison purposes, Telluride, Aspen and Whistler B.C. all have employment generation ordinances requiring developers to provide affordable housing for a percentage of the new employees resulting from commercial development. New employees are defined as the incremental increase in employment needs resulting from commercial redevelopment. Each ol the communities assesses a different percentage of atfordable housing a developer must provide for the new employees. For example, Telluride reguires developers to provide housing tor 40/" (0.40) ol the new employees, Aspen requires that 600/" (0.60) of the new employees are provided housing and Whistler requires that 100% (1.00) of the new employees be provided housing by the developer. In comparison, Vail has conservatively determined that developers shall provide housing lor 15/" (0.15) or 30% (0.30) of the new employees resulting from commercial development. When a project is proposed to exceed the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 30% (0.30) figure is used in the calculation. lf a poect is proposed at, or below, the density allowed by the underlying zone district, the 15% (0.15) figure is used. The Antlers development proposal exceeds the density permiiled by the underlying zone district, and therefore, the 30% figure shall be used. EMPLOYEE HOUSING GENERATION ANALYSIS The staff analysis below indicates a recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing needs of the Antlers Condominiums. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows: Staff Recommended Ranqe Calculations: The staff believes that the Antlers Condominiums will create a need for 9.6 (10) additional employees. Of the additional employees, at least 2.8 (3) employees (30%) will need to be provided deed-restricted housing by the developers. a) Multi-Family Dwelling Units =24 units @(.4/unit) Total (X 0.30 multiplier) = 9.60 employees Depending upon the size ol the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two employees per bedroom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible ol accommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type lll employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. The applicant has proposed to provide a minimum of seven new employee housing units. These units are in addition to the two existing units. The units would be deed- restricted as Type lll EHU's. = 9.60 employees = 2.88 new employees v[.CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on development obiectives of the Town. A major development obiective of the Town is the redevelopment and improvement of the Lionshead village. The proposal would help achieve this through the new addition, the facelift of the existing building, and improvements to the streetscape, bike-ped path and landscaping. 2. Eftect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. The proposed use should not have any significant negative effect on these factors. The mass and design of the proposal have been reviewed by the Design Review Board. The proposal should draw more users to the Lionshead Village. Access has been reviewed by the Public Works Department; and the applicant will have to contribute to the off-site roadway improvements fund. Utilities and schools should not be heavily impacted. And the bike-ped path would be improved by removal of the overhanging deck. 3. Effect upon tratfic, with particular reference to congestion' automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking areas. The proposal has been reviewed lor its effect on transportation by the Public Works Department which has requested numerous changes to the proposal throughout the processing of the application. 4. Eftect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk ot the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The applicant met several times with the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board and made many changes to the proposal based on their comments. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before granting a conditional use permit: '1. That the proposed location ot the use is in accordance with the purposes of this Title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. That the proposed use will comply with each ot the applicable provisions of this Title. VIII. VARIANCE CBITERIA AND FINDINGS Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following lactors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a reduction in the required number of parking spaces. According the Zoning Regulations, the applicant is required to provide 56 new parking spaces. The new spaces are for the 24 new condominiums and the employee housing units. The applicant has proposed to provide 25 spaces. The applicant believes that 25 new spaces in addition to the 89 existing spaces will meet the needs of the entire project. Staff believes that given the proximity of the Antlers Condominiums to the ski yard, the retail shops and restaurants in Lionshead, the easy access to the town bus system and the availability of the regional airport in Eagle, the 114 structured parking spaces will meet the needs and intent of the parking requirement. Additionally, given the existing nature of the building and the development on the site, staff believes the applicant is severely limited in terms of providing all the parking on the site unless a demo/rebuild were proposed. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the obiectives of this title without a grant of special privilege. Staff has reviewed the plans to determine if an alternate parking structure configuration could be proposed. Based upon our review, staff believes that the applicant has maximized the parking structure to the extent possible. The structure has been designed to meet the minimum requirements necessary to insure adequate traffic flow and ease of vehicle operation. Staff believes that the applicant is requesting the minimum amount of deviation necessary from the parking space requirements to achieve the intended objectives without resulting in a grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the rEquested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. 2. 3. Staff does not believe that the requested parking variance will have any negative impacts on the immediate and surrounding areas. Necessarv Findinos: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall maks the following findings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially iniurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unneoessary physical hardship inconsistent with the obiectives of this title. b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enioyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. UONSHEAD MASTER PLAN The recently adopted Lionshead Master Plan contains provisions regarding height' stepbacks, form and massing, articulated walls, sloped roofs, dormers and other break- ups of rooflines, balconies and handrails, chimneys, detail and ornamentation, and variation of materials and finishes, Staff believes the proposal complies with the intent and goals of the Master Plan. Specifically, the proposal will renew and redevelopment an older building in Lionshead that has been targeted for redevelopment, provide a stronger economic base to the Lionshead area in general, improve both pedestrian and vehicular access along Lionshead Place and increase the vitality and overall amenities available to our guests in Lionshead. Additionally, the proposal complies with the recommended actions stated in the Plan in Section 5.14, Antlers Lodge. F:'GVERYONE\PECWEMOS\99W.lTLR. 71 2 June 22, 'J,999 The Lionshead Master Plan and enabling ordinances discuss the need to assess for the construction of specific reasonable off- site improvements related to specific developments. The Master Plan has identified close to $15 million in Frontagre Road improvements from the main vail roundabout to Cascade Village. This is a distance of approximaEely 7300 ft. and will contain approximately ten major intersections. The Town has requested from the Colorado Department of Transportation, $5 million to provide these improvements. The Town of Vail is prepared to pay an additional $5 million for the proj ect. The remaining $5 million is assumed to directly be attributable to the ten intersections; equaling $500,000 per intersection. Those developments accessing the two intersections of west I-.,ionshead Circle will be contributinq to the improvements of these two intersections. In order to determine, at this time. the attrlbutable number of trips to each intersection, the combined trips of both intersections were determined. The Traffic Study for the l-,ionshead Master Plan shows an increase of vehicle trips at both intersections of L27 trips in the a.m. peak period for a tsota1 of 540 trips and an increase of 195 trips in the p.m. peak period for a total of 795 trips. The Antl"ers' proposal expands an existing meeting room and adds 7 new EHU's in the existing building. The chang'e of uses within the existing buildinq was not looked at as affecting the final numbers in the Master P1an, The ad.di tion to the project adds 24 new units . The Saturday peak hour factor, an average of both peak periods, is .738 trips,/Dwel1ing Unit (DU) . 24 DU's tj-mes .738 = 17.7 new trips. This equals ]-7.7/L95 x100 = g.l-%of the total new peak hour trips at the two intersections. 9.1%of $1,000,000 is $91,000. This is the amount the Antlers owes for improvements to the frontage road. The Town has agreed to 80% of $91-,000, which equals $72, 800 . Note: Detailed costs of the intersection are not known at this time. As more accurate costs become availabl-e, the conEribution can be adjusted. If a TIF mechanism is establj.shed. which off sets the developers contribution, then if this development contributes significantly to the TIF, those contributions can be crediLed toward the payment, If a special assessment district is established palzments toward improvernents can be credited toward the assessment. o FILE COPY TOWN OFVAIL 75 South Frcntage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FN{ 970-479-2157 June 30. 1999 Rob Levine, General Manager Antlers Condominiums 680 West Lionhead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: AntlersCondominiumsRedevelopment Dear Rob, On Monday, June 28th the Planning & Environmental held a worksession meeting to discuss the Antlers Condominium redevelopment p,roposal. The pu4r,ose of the meeting was to discuss the altematives to the requirement for parking on the site. After discussing the parking issues, the Commission recommended a solution to the parking problem. The Commission recommended that Antlers proceed with the major exterior alteration and variance request on July 12'n. The Commission further recommended that you revise your parking structue layout to provide valet parking spaces. The valet spaces will reduce the total number of spaces needed to pay-inlieu for to rneet the parking requirement. lastly, the Commission recommended that you participate in the Town's parking study efforts. Pending the outcomes of the study, the Town will recalculate the parking requirement and adjust the pay-inJieu amount if necessary. ln no case will tbe parking-inlieu fee exceed 34 parking spaces. As mentioned, the Cornmission requested that you amend your parking structure plans. The purpose of the change is to provide a reasonable number ofvalet parking spaces on site and to reduce the dollar amount to be paid to the Town's Parking Fund. Therefore, please revise ths parking structure plans and submit the revised plans to our office by no later than noon, Tuesday, July 6, 1999.

Lionshead Place (the Antlers)/ Lol3, Block 1, Lionshead Third Filing. Applicant: Antlers Condominium Association, represented by Robert LeVinePlanner: George Ruther o TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: [.\ DESCRIPTION OF THE REOUEST The applicant, The Antlers Condominium Association, represented by Rob LeVine, is requesting the establishment of special Development District #37 to allow for lhe construction of 24 new condominiums, 9 new, on-site employee housing units and a new parking structure level. The applicant's request is intended to facilitate the redevelopment of the existing lodge and to provide increased residential opportunities in the Lionshead area. The proposed redevelopment is intended to implement ihe recommendations outlined in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. <- STAFF RECOMilENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the request for the establishment of the Special Development District be tabled and that the request be amended to a worksession to discuss altematives to the parking requirement. Staff's recommendation is based on the input received from the Vail Town Council on June 22nd. As mentioned above, the Council unanimously expressed their dissatisfaction with the Special Development District application approach and has recommended the major exterior alteration and parking variance application approach. BACKGROUND The applicant's original request for redevelopment was submitted to the Community Development in September of 1998. The original request was for the establishment of a Special Development District. The reguest for the establishment of a Special Development District was, in part, to get a jump on the review process in the absence of ihe adoption of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the necessary rezoning. This "jump" on the review process ?a,iscr> prrrrs q fA ll4 x Z.5l fff,coffi, &@{,rl.rt.l b+h '*locLa51a ryv'"'-- | .-----.r| -["..] n u2_:= allowed the applicant to make preliminary presentations on the request to the various Boards and Gommissions, while at the same time provided the Town Council, Boards and Commissions with the opportunity to provide input to the applicant on the proposal. Early in 1999, after the adoption of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the necessary rezonings, the original application was amended. The applicant, at the urging of statf, amended the original application to a major exterior alteration pursuant to the development review process prescribed lor the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone District. Upon review of the proposal by staff, it was determined that a parking variance was required, The parking variance was required as the proposal did not fully comply with the required number of parking spaces prescribed within the Zoning Regulations. Pursuant to Section 12-10-18, Variances, 'Any parking variance which is granted by Chapter 17 of this Title (Zoning Regulations) shall be required to contribute to the Town's Parking Fund, as set forth in Section 12-10- 16 of this Chapter." Since the applicant was requesting a parking variance for 34 parking spaces, pursuant to Section 1 2-1 8-1 0 and Section 1 2-1 0-1 6, the applicant was obligated to conrribure $609,1 76.64 (34 parking spaces @ $1tr910.904Uaed to the Town's Parking Fund. Recognizing the damaging etfects this requirement might have on the redevelopment proposal, the applicant, staff and Planning & Environmental Commission began exploring the possibility of reverting back to a Special Development District application. The Special Development District alternative was suggested as it might provide a means of mitigating the parking deficit without requiring a six- figure contribution to the Torvn's Parking Fund. On June 22, 1999, the applicant appeared before the Vail Town Gouncil for a worksession meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to make a preliminary presentation on the proposal to the Council and to receive any input the Council may have on the application. Following a brief presentation on the proposal and on the history of the application, the Council members unanimously expressed their dissatisfaction with the Special Development District application approach. The Council members cited the recent adoplion of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and the apparent'loophole' around the parking requirements as their concems. In response to their concems, the Council has initially recommended the lollowing options: r Table the redevelopment application at this time and allow the Community Development Department to complete the Parking Study which may conclude reductions in the parking requirement standards. Pending the outcome of the study, proceed fonrard with the redevelopment application. . Withdraw the Special Development District request and revert back to a major exterior alteration and continue fonrard with the parking variance. However, prior to continuing fonrard, meet with the Town Staff to explore mutually acceptable alternatives for meeting the Town's Parking Fund requirement. Once possible alternatives are discussed, present the altematives along with the major exterior alteration and the parking variance to the Planning & Environmental Commission for their review and recommendation. -flun: /1), , - - . .Staff is prepared to discuss possible options with the applicant flnd the Commission at this time. ,+-nt- fhE. ,gt*-t ' n irr A rdodAA5e :i+-rdu.t.

GflH;'"rcommunityDevetopment t June21, 1999 Page:2 6. Sun/Shade Analysis: Enclosed 7. Utility Capacity Report: Submitted with application 8. Site Area: approximately 52,500 S,F., 1.2 Acres 9. Existing Condominium Units: The existing building contains 58-680 Sq. Ft. units and 12 -1,'100 Sq. Ft. units. 10. Employee Apartments: The Antlers Condominium Association presently owns two employee units on site. This redevelopment proposalwill add seven additional employee apartments, The association is proposing to deed restrict the seven new employee apartments. Design and Site Plan Comments: 1. Proposed Addition Design; The currently proposed Antlers Expansion and Renovation design has been carefully crafted in response to Lionshead Redevelopment Architectural Design Guidelines and to be compatible with the context of existing Antlers site and original building geometry. The redevelopment design incorporates an enclosed, two level, underground heated parking garage serving 106 cars. The proposed addition includes new condominiums, conference/banquet, skier lobby/ski storage and meeting spaces planned to surround an automobile entry plaza creating a new public facade for Antlers. Ground level, "base", elements incorporate active circulation functions framed by naturalstone arched pedestrian entries, stone terraces with permanent planters, auto accr'is through stone arched portal entry, east garr.ge ramp and conference/banquet terrace on the west. The design of center floors responds to guideline, "middle" criteria utilizing simple EIFS walls, quiet repetition of fenestration and generous redwood and steel balcony systems. New building walls step back in intervals, varying lrom 12'to 27' responding to the unique diagonal property lines along east and west. The roof design has been extensively redesigned according to guideline criteria as a "unifying image" to incorporate primary hip roof elements with 6:12 pitch, numerous 6:12 dormer/cathedral ceiling elements with transitional and secondary roofs and their dormers of 4:12 pitch which reference the original building. We are proposing the use of concrete tile roofing with a ru-*Yft:tcommunity Devetopment a June21, 1999 Page: 3 cold roof system utilizing 40 mil bituthene ice and water shield throughout and snowguards, gutters and snowmelt system where necessary at pedestrian and auto traffic locations. lmprovements to the existing building will include replacement of all texture 1-11 plywood siding with EIFS to match the new addition, replacement of all original wood picket balcony guardrail systems with redwood siding and painted steel rails and replacement of all plain doors with detailed hardwood panel doors. The existing precast exposed aggregate structural wall panels, existing expanded aggregate covered roof, existing concrete steel and glass elevator tower and swimming pool structure are proposed to remain. Both the new and existing building areas will be equipped with a state of the art fire detection/fire alarm system j The Antlers Board of Directors and owners have studied the feasibility of making major changes to existing roof structures, swimming pool structure and exterior corridor circulation systems resulting in an ovenrhelming sentiment for maintaining these elements in any redevelopment. A mandate ftom the Town of Vail that changes be made to these fundamental building elements would result in an unbearable financial hardship and compromise life safety, existing natural ventilation to condominium units and fire protection provisions of the existing building. 2. Pedestrian lnterface: Since Antlers does not provide any commercial, recreation, restaurant or bar facilities for the public; primary pedestrian traffic from outside the complex is not considered a high priority. The proposed redevelopment plans provide for clear, convenient pedestrian access for Antlers owners and guests i with separation from automobile traffic conflicts. A new primary pedestrian access point to the Antlers property is planned at the north corner in close proximity to a new second elevator from which access is available to all new condominiums, lobby, conference facilities, offices, fitness and garage areas. Wheelchair accessible access will be available throughout via ramps, covered arcade at the third floor level and two elevators. A new, convenient ski return entrance, identified by covered walk, serving skier lobby, ski storage, garage and exit o 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. *,r"J',HJ'"rcommunity Devetopment O June21,1999 Page:4 stair tower to all levels is planned at the east side. Other existing secondary points of access will be maintiained such as south east corner walk connection to the public bike path and south west corner and access to swimming pool and the Gore Creek corridor. The extent ol and methods for, heating public and private walks and construction of public R.O.W. improvements willbe determined by coordination with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and mutual agreement. Please refer to site plan for graphics on interlocking concrete paver materials, public walks, pedestrian routes, street lights, and street curb and gutter improvements. Auto Entry Plaza: The central entry plaza will be heated during winter months for safety and to aid in snow removal. Final mechanical/electrical design plans relative to plaza heating will be provided together with building permit document submittal. Fire Department Access: Fire vehicle access will be available at the east from Lionshead Circle. Fire fighter access is available to three enclosed stair towers equipped with fire standpipes and hose cabinets according to Code. In addition, the entire building will be equipped with a fire sprinkler system. Parking: Garage parking provides 65 full and 41 compact spaces for a totalof 106 cars. Allgarage spaces comply with T.O.V. criteria as to size, height, aisle, etc. The automobile entry court provides 7 full auto spaces and 1 van/loading space for a total of 8. Total parking on site is 114. Refer to plans Sheet A2, A3, and A4. Ramp Slopes: Automobile ramp slopes vary between 1% to 12%. Wheelchair accessible/pedestrian ramps are 6.6% and 8.33%. Refer to Plan Sheets A-2, A-3 and A-,4. Tandem Parking: Eight compact parking spaces provided at the north side of the upper garage level are designated as "employee only" parking. These spaces make use of an extra deep garage area allowing -i. 8. 9. lffi;HLt community Danelopment O June21, 1999 Page:5 space for two cars in line, (one behind the other). Since most employees use their cars infrequently and can accommodate being inconvenienced somewhat by coordinating their use with others, Antlers management has accepted the tandem arrangement as workable. Riparian Corridor lmprovements: No changes are proposed for the Gore Creek corridor outside Antlers property line. Coordination with Marriot Redevelopment: The managers and architects for Antlers and the Marriot have reviewed each other's proposed redevelopment plans. They will continue to do so throughout the planning, approval and construction document process. Drainage Plan: A civil engineer will prepare a final drainage plan for submission with building permit plans. ln generalthe existing building storm sewer system and Lionshead Circle storm sewer facilities will be maintained in use and upgraded as necessary. Loading, Delivery and Waste Facilities: It is planned that general loading and delivery will take place in the auto plaza. Some small truck, kitchen delivery and waste removal will take place within the garage at the parking space indicated "loading". A waste dumpster area is planned for the northeast side of main entry drive at the base of entry portico, (refer Sheet A-4). The dumpster area will be surrounded by walls and furnished with solid gates to visually screen the area from view. Proposed Deck: Current plans indicate a 20'X 30' redwood deck to be located at the south east corner of the site. This proposed new deck could be used for special entertaining and semi-private events such as famif reunions, weddings, etc., when equipped with a temporary tent and catering equipment. Color Scheme: Colors of natural materials, integral color finishes and paint have been carefully considered to establish an interesting o 10. 11. 12. 13. km;communityDeveropmenr O June21, 1999 Page:6 building facade while blending with existing materials which will remain from the originalAntlers structure. New simulated sfucco finish for exterior walls will utilize three shades to be used alternately to define individual building masses in order to create a modulated facade. New stone is to be native granite river boulders generally in the color range of existing exposed aggregate precast wall panels; however, of a larger scale with greater emphasis on individual stones. Roof tile colors are to be selected ftom green, blue, gray ranges produced by "Westile" similar to the well known Beaver Creek Blend. Redwood siding shall be coated with semi-transparent stain to provide a sofi, nafural semi-rveathered appearance. Paint for exposed steel balcony railings, prefinished window and door frames will be a green grey color compatible with existing painted steel elevator enclosure. Flashing, gutters, fascias will utilize copper sheet wtrich will rveather to a natural patina. Actual material color sample board will be submitted to T.O.V. Design Review Board prior to building permit application. 14. Landscaping: f nitial calculations indicate approximately 2oo/o of the Antlers site will be utilized for landscaping; however, since Antlers has improved and maintains landscape areas beyond the proper$ line at south, east and vvest sides the setting is generously landscaped. A preliminary landscape plan was submitted with application. We look forward to working with the Community Development Department and other Town of Vail authorities in ftnalizing an outstanding additon/redevelopment for the Antlers wttich will achieve feasibility for the owners and accommodate the appropriate elements of the Lionshead Master Plan. Sincerely, Havekost + Associates P.C.

In the case of the parking requirement there is a deficient ot 34 spaces. The applicant is requesting a parking variance as part of this proposal. The parking variance request is discussed in detail in Section Vlll of this memorandum. VI. EMPLOYEE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS As indicated in a number ol the goals and objectives of the Town's Master Plans, providing atfordable housing for employees is a critical issue which should be adclressed through the planning process for large scale development proposals. In reviewing the proposal for employee housing needs, staff relied on the Town ot Vail Employee Housing Report. This report has been used by the staff in the past to evaluate employee housing needs. The guidelines contained within the report were used most recently in the review of the Austria Haus development proposal. The Employee Housing Fleport, was prepared for the Town by the consulting firm Rosall, Remmen and Cares. The report provides the recommended ranges of employee housing units needed based on the type of use and the amount of floor area dedicated to each use. Utilizing the guidelines prescribed in the Employee Housing Report, the staff analyzed the incremental increase of employees (square footage per use), that results from the redevelopment. A copy of the Suooested Emplovment Cateoories and Ranoes lor Vail Expressed as Emplovees oer 1000 Souare Feet has been attached for reference. The ligures identified in the Housing Report are based on surveys of commercial-use employment needs of the Town of Vail and other mountain resort communities. For comparison purposes, Telluride, Aspen and Whistler B.C. allhave employment generation ordinances requiring developers to provide aflordable housing for a percentage of the new employees resulting from commercial development. New employees are defined as the incremental increase in employrnent needs resulting from commercial redevelopment. Each of the communities assesses a different percentage of affordable housing a developer must provide for the new employees. For example, Telluride requires developers to provide housing lor 40/" (0.a0) of the new employees, Aspen requires that 60% (0.60) of the new employees are provided housing and Whistler requires that 100% (1.00) of the new employees be provided housing by the developer. ln comparison, Vail has conservatively determined that developers shall provide housing lor 15o/" (0.1 5) or 30'/" (0.30) of the new employees resulting from commercial development. When a project is proposed to exceed the density allowed by lhe underlying zone district, the 30% (0.30) figure is used in the calculation. lf a project is proposed at, or below, the density allowed by the underllng zone district, the 1 5% (0.1 5) figure is used. The Antlers development proposal exceeds the density permitted by the underllng zone district, and therefore, the 30% figure shall be used. EMPLOYEE HOUSING GENERANON ANALYSIS The staff analysis below indicates a recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing needs of the Antlers Condominiums. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as follows: Staff Recommended Ranoe Calculations: The statf believes that the Antlers Condominiums willcreate a need for 9.6 (10) additional employees. Of the additionalemployees, at least 2.8 (3) employees (30o/d will need to be provided deed-restricted housing by the developers. a) Multi-Family Dwelling Units =24 units @(.4/unit)= 9.60 employees Total (X 0.30 multiplier) = 9.60 employees = 2.88 nenr employees vil. Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two employees per bedroom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet, is possible ot accommodating three to lour employees. These figures are consistent with the requirements for the Type lll employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code. The applicant has proposed to provide a minimum of seven new employee housing units. These units are in addition to the two existing units. The units would be deeG restricted as Type lll EHU's. CONDITIONAL t'SE PERMIT REVIEW CBITERIA Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationship and impact ot the use on development obiectives of the Town. A major development objective of the Town is the redevelopment and improvement of the Lionshead village. The proposal would help achieve this through the new addition, the facelift of the existing building, and improvements to the streetscape, bike-ped path and landscaping. 2. Effect of the use on light and air, dlstribution of population, transportation tacilltles, utilities, schools, parks and recreatlon facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs. The proposed use should not have any significant negative effect on these factors. The mass and design of the proposal have been reviewed by the Design Review Board. The proposal should draw more users to the Lionshead Village. Access has been reviewed by the Public Works Department; and the applicant will have to contribute to the off-site o roacfuvay improvements fund. Utilities and schools should not be heavif impacted. And the bike-ped path would be improved by removal of the overhanging deck. 3. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and contro!, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking arsas. The proposal has been reviewed for its effect on transportation by the Public Works Department which has requested numerous changes to the proposal throughout the processing of the application. 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, includlng the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relatlon to surrounding uses. The applicant met several times with the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board and made many changes to the proposal based on their comments. The Plannlng and Envlronmental Commlssion shall make the followlng findlngs before granting a condltlonal use permit: 1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this Title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially lniurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions ol this Title. VARIANCE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the following factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for a reduction in the required number of parking spaces. According the Zoning Regulations, the applicant is required to provide 59 new parking spaces. The new spaces are for the 24 new condominiums and the employee housing units. The applicant has proposed to provide 25 spaces. The applicant believes that 25 new spaces in addition to the 89 existlng spaces will meet the needs of the entire project. Statf believes that given the proximity of the Antlers Condominiums to the ski yard, the retail shops and restaurants in Lionshead, the easy access to the town bus system and the availability of the regional airport in Eagle, the 114 structured parking spaces will meet the needs and intent of the parking requirement. Additionally, given the existing nature of the building and the development on the site, staff believes the applicant is severely limited in terms of providing all the parking on the site unless a demo/rebuild were proposed. 2. The dsgree to which relief trom the strlct and literal interprctauon and enforcement of a speclfied regulatlon ls necessary to achieve compatibillty and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the oblectlves of this tltle without a grant of speclal prlvllege. Staff has reviewed the plans to determine if an alternate parking structure configuration could be proposed. Based upon our review, staff believes that the applicanl has maximized the parking structure to the extent possible. The structure has been designed to meet the minimum requirements necessary to insure adequate traffic flow and ease of vehicle operation. Staff believes that the applicant is requesting the minimum amount of deviation necessary from the pafting space requirements to achieve the intended objectives without resulting in a grant of special privilege. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, dlstribution of population, transportaiion and trafflc facillties, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. Statf does not believe that the requested parking variance will have any negative impacts on the immediate and sunounding areas. lGcessarv Findinqs: The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following tindlngs before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance wlll not constitute a grant of special prlvllege inconslstent with the limitations on other propertles classifled in the same district. 2. That the grantlng of the varlance rvill not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to propertles or improvemenB in the vicinity. 3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unneoe!ilFry physical hardship Inconsistent with the objec$ves of this title. b, There are erceptions or extraordinary circumstancelt or conditions applicable to the same sile of the variance that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone. c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same district. IX. UONSHEAD MASTER PI.AN The recentiy adopted Lionshead Master Plan contains provisions regarding height, stepbacks, form and massing, articulated walls, sloped roofs, dormers and other break- ups of rooflines, balconies and handrails, chimneys, detail and ornamentation, and variation of materials and finishes. Staff believes the proposal complies with the intent and goals of the Master Plan. Specifically, the proposalwill renew and redevelopment an older building in Lionshead that has been targeted for redevelopment, provide a stronger economic base to the Lionshead area in general, improve both pedestrian and vehicular access along Lionshead Place and increase the vilality and overall amenities available to our guests in Lionshead.

The purpose of this letter is to provide you with a written summary of the Desip Review Board' s conrnents on the proposed plans. dqselding to m] notes, the Board stated the following comments: 1. The roof+op dormers need to be redesiped so that there is a separation betrreen the main roof and the eavelines ofthe dormers. This change shall be made throughout the building.2. The pedestrian entrances on the north and east sides of the new building need to be redesiped to create a greater sense of arrival and identity. Redesign altematives might include fagade changes, landscape imFovements, public art, etc. 3. The braces under the decks and eaves need to be rede siped to create a separation in wail surface pianes. The sepamtion is intended to provide reliefin the wall surfaces and opportunities for shade and shadow.4. Please consider guest circulation and access in and around the fop€rty. Special attention shouid be given to the interface between the new and existing buildings.5. Variations in exterior wall surface materials need to be proposed. This will insure that the exterior walls of the buiidings comply with the Architectural Desip Guideiines of the Liooshead Redevelopment Master Plan. 6. Please contact Henry hatt with Gwathmey, Pratt, Schultz Architecc, P.C. to discuss altematives to coordinating a landscape plan along the corffnon property line with the Marriott.7. The use of direct vent gas fireplaces is not recommended- Instead, vertical flues chase should be constructed to avoid "blemishing" the exterior walls of the new building with unsightly vents. 8. The proposed exterior color scheme needs additional consideratim. Please provide several new color schemes for the Board's consideration at the next meeting. Again, these are the comments stated by thr Desip Review Board at their May l9'h meeting. Please be prepared to respond to these comments at the June 16b meeting of the Board. You will need to provide the revised plans to the Community Development Depaflment by noon, June 9'. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me by telephone at 479-2145.

My letter to the Town dated September 14, 1998 refers to that intention. I appreciate allyour work so far in what has been the SDD process, and look forward to concluding the approval process as a more "conforming' application.

Lionshead Pl. Vail, CO 81657 RE:Expansion of the Antlers in Lionshead/680 W. Lionshead Pl./ Lot 3, BLK. l, Vail Lionshead 3rd Filing Dear Rob: This letter is to summarize the status of the proposal. The Desigrr Review Board (DRB) conceptual review on April 7'h produced the following comments. Generally, the DRB wurs very pleased with the progress of the design. However, the brackets should be detailed, made of wood and have a steeper angle. More brackets were suggested on the north side. The north dormers should match the west dormer design. Color changes of stucco or materials should be made on interior comers. The different colors of the stucco should be a closer match. Mechanical vents should go vertical and be concealed with fake chimneys. Finally, details of railings and fascias, and samples of colors and materials should be presented at the next DRB meeting. The proposed re-design of the existing building should be revisited to ensure compatibility with the evolved desigrr ofthe new building. Due to the recent adoption of the Lionshead zoning ordinance, it is suggested that the proposal be reviewed under the new ordinance rather than as an amendment to the existing SDD. This would simplifu the process for everyone and not require review by the Town Council, although they may likely call up the proposal for review due to it being one of the frst redeveloments under the Lionshead Master Plan. Also, the proposal still needs to meet approvai of the Planning and Environmental Commission, I {Suno*r^"o oi. including comments from the Public Works Departrnent.

Lionshead Pl. Vail, CO 81657 RE: SDD application for the expansion of the Antlers in Lionshead/680 W. Lionshead Pl./ Lot 3, BLK. 1, Vail Lionshead 3rd Filing Dear Rob: The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) conducted aworksession on March 8th regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Antlers in Lionshead. Generally, the PEC had the following comments: The proposed setbacks were not a problem. The number of parking spaces should be determined upon a parking analysis provided by the Antlers; but appears to be okay. The sub-compact spaces should be increased to meet compact standards, and the employee spaces should only be stacked behind other employees' spaces. Adding another parking level below should be considered. The landscaping would be okay if a lease were agreed to specifuing the maintenance of land off the Antlers property, specifically land around the pool and land east of the Antlers. The loading berth should be in the plaza and should meet standards. The plaza turn around should meet radius requirements for deliveries. The swimming pool can remain, but a lease needs to be agreed to with the Town; and the southeast comer of the pool deck needs to be removed to alleviate conflicts with the bike-ped path. Finally, the PEC agreed that the plan should not come back to them until it receives final Design Review Board approval. Finally, the Marriott should be contacted to coordinate development plans. The Design Review Board (DRB) conducted a conceptual review of the plans on March 17'n. Both the DRB and the PEC had the following comments regarding design of the proposal: Generally, the design has been improved, but it still needs additional improvements. The entrance should be enhanced, perhaps by focusing on it and centering the logo. Steeperroof slopes are needed in most but not all of the proposal. Roof overhangs are too long. Roof lines should be broken up. Dormers need to be more dramatic and be back from the roof line. The I {p*or^* .,.a,t f g\R roof materials need to comply with LioilSdaf t4aster Plan standards. The roof color should be more neutral (grey- brown). Strong details, not fake, perhaps bracing should be added to the roofs and balconies. Variation in railings was suggested. The exterior balconies as entrances were questioned, as was having each unit be the same size. Colors and materials should be articulated to break up the ma.sses and make elevations more interesting, perhaps similar to the Austria House which appea$ to be composed of different buildings. The exterior of the employee units should be broken up. Finally, the use of art in coordination with the Art in Public Places board should be considered. The Lionshead Master Plan states that approved materials for primary roofs include but are not limited to metal shingles, cementitious shingles, concrete tiles, wood shakes or shingles and high quality asphalt shingles which offer acceptable colors and depth. Secondary roofs may be covered with metal panels in comrgated, rolled or standing seam profiles. The proposed roofs meet the definition ofprimary roofs and will need to meet this standard. Comments from Public Works are attached. Please feel free to call me regarding this project at970479-2140. Sincerely, Senior Planner I TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM Planning and Environmental Commission Community Development Department March 8. 1999 A request for a worksession of a major exterior alteration in CC2 and the establishment of a Special Development District for the Antlers at Vail, located at 680 W. Lionshead Pl./ Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 4th Filing. Applicant: Planner: Antlers Condominium Association, represented by Robert LeVine Jeff Hunt I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Attached is preliminary proposal by the Antlers Condominium Association. The applicant is seeking input from the PEC regarding a potential Speqle!__Development District and major exterior alteration applications for the Antlers propertyl The applicant is proposing major exterior I alterations to the existing Antlers building, expansion of the building, and to establish a Special I Development District for the property. The property is currently zoned Commercial Core 2 | (cc2). The applicant made a previous presentation before the PEG on July 13, 1998. The applicant will be making a second presentation to the PEC and is hoping to gain added insight about the direction they are heading. Also, staff requests the PEC to give direction on a number of discussron issues that have been \ cn6GG review@ted. A fullanalysis of the project will be \ presented to the PEC at a future meeting. II. COMPARISON OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED FACILITIES Existing Units: 70 condos 2 EHU's GRFA: 52,640 sf Site Coverage: 8,971 sf Parking: 89 spaces Proposed Additional Units: 24 condos 7 EHU's GRFA: 34,950 sf Site Coverage: 12,012 sf Parking: 25 1 Il.DISCUSSION ISSUES 7,/ The proposal appea{tocomply with most zoning provisions such as density, GRFA, \ and site coverage.4lowever, the following issues have been noted: \ 2. 1.Setbacks: The Zoning Code requires a lgSetbaq( The proposed addition has about a 5' setback along lhe west wall and at a-point along the northwest property line. The existing parking structure is about 7'from the northwest line. Staff is seeking direction as to the acceptability of a reduced setback in this area. Parking: A. The Zoning Code requires parking spaces be 9' x 19' except that25o/o may be compact spaces which are allowed to be 8'x 16'. The proposal includes 8 "sub- compact spaces" which are only 14'4" deep. B. The 8 employee parking spaces are stacked behind owners'spaces. C. The Zoning Code requires an additional 59 spaces for the new units. The proposal is for 25 additional spaces. The existing facility is already deficient by 54 spaces. Staff recognizes that the proposal does not meet our parking requirements. However, based on the nature of the use, shuttle service in the village, and the location of Antlers in relation to the core area, the use may likely generate less need for parking. Landscaping: The CC2 Zone requires 20o/o of the site be landscaped. The applicant argues that the site is about 20% landscaped and that additional land off the property boundaries is also maintained by the Antlers. Staff has concems that the proposal is well below lhe 20% on site requirement. Loading: The proposal includes a loading berth within designated parking spaces in the garage, and within a handicapped parking space in the plaza. Staff believes that the one required loading space should be designated in the plaza and not in the garage due to height needs for such vehicles. Swimming Pool: A. The existing swimming pool is on Town property and is not being proposed for relocation. Staff believes there are alternative locations available and that a remodel of this size should address the pool. ? 3. 5. 6. { 7. lf it is determined that the pool should remain, staff recommends that a lease be established with the Town for this improvement. B. The deck of the existing swimming pool overhangs the bike/ped path and is not being proposed for modification. This creates a conflict with pedestrians and bicyclists. Staff believes this issue should be corrected by the applicant as part of this proposal. Architectural Character: The applicant has submitted renderings of the proposed architecture for both the existing building and the addition. Staff has concerns that the proposed architecture does not meet the standards of the recently adopted Lionshead Master Plan, including a lack of: stepbacks, variation of materials, sloped roofs, dormers and articulation of walls. Also, the proposal contains repetitive balconies. The applicant received direction on architectural quality from both the DRB and the PEC. The applicant did make modifications to the design, but staff believes the changes are minor and do not fully address the concerns raised by the DRB and the PEC. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST Title12, Chapter 9 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code provides for the establishment of Special Development Districts in the Town of Vail. According to Section '12-94-1, the purpose of a Special Development District is, "To encourage flexibility and creativity in the development of land, in order to promote its most appropriate use; to improve the design character and quality of the new development within the Town; to facilitate the adequate and economical provision of streets and utilities; to preserve the natural and scenic features of open space areas; and to further the overall goals of the community as stated in the Vail Gomprehensive Plan. An approved development plan for a Special Development District, in conjunction with the properties underlying zone district, shall establish the requirements for guiding development and uses of property included in the Special Development District." The Municipal Code provides nine design criteria, which shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the merits of the proposed Special Development District. lt shall be the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. This criteria is provided for your information. Staff will fully evaluate these criteria upon final plan development. tv. A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation. B. Uses, activigl and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity. C. Gompliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Title 12, Ghapter 10, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plan. Vail Land Use Plan The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy guidelines during the review process of establishing or amending Special Development Districts.

Lionshead Pl./Lot 3, BLK. l, Vail Lionshead 3rd Filing Dear Rob: The Community Development Department has conducted a preliminary review of the proposed redevelopment of the Antlers in Lionshead. As you are aware, the Town is in the process of conoluding the Lionshead Master Planning process. The draft Master Plan will be presented to the Town Council and the public on October 20, 1998. Staffwill utilize that document to aid in the review of your redevelopment proposal. Specifically, staffwill utilize the draft design guidelines which contain standards and guidelines for controlling bulk and mass in the Lionshead area. A copy ofthis draft has been enclosed for your assistance. The following is a list of additional submittal items that are necessary for reviewing this project as v,ll as prelirninary comments on the design and site planning of this redevelopment project. Due to the nature and conplexity of these iszues, staffis recommending that any worksession on this itembe postponed until you have anple opportunity to address tbese issues. Additional Submittals L Please provide a building height analysis in order to demonstrate conpliance with the draft design guidelines. This analysis should be shown graphically on the building elevations and a roofplan for the development. The design guidelines provide the detail necessary to complete this requirc.,..-^:' 2.

Please provide a tramc study which addresses all turning movements fi'om all entrances and exits as well as the overall effect of the increased density on the roadway system This will need to be conpleted by a qualified individual. 4. Please provide a title report with schedules A and B for the property. 5. Please provide a copy ofall covenant restrictions affecting the property. 6. Please provide a sun/shade analysis ofthe project. This analysis should be conducted in accordance with the major exterior alteration criteria of the CC2 zone district. Please note that your application will also need to be amended to include a major exterior alteration. 7. Please provide a report analyzing the utility capacity requirements in the area of the Antlers. There may be deficiencies in the electric transformers that serve this immediate area. 8. Please provide an indication ofthe total lot area ofthe Antlers. The note on the survey is not legible. 9. Please provide an indication ofthe sizes of existing dwelling units in the tower. This is needed to properly analyze the parking requirements for the building. 10. Are you proposing to deed restrict the Enployee Housing? These would need to be deed restricted as Tlpe III EHUS per code. Comments on design and site planning l. While changes have been made in an attemDt to respond to the comments of the PEC, Town Council and the DRB. staffbelieves the proposed design does not go far enough to respond to the design issues. These Boards were conr::'iicd with the overall design and massing of the building. The repetitive balconies, the use ofexterior corridors accessing roonn, the shallow roof slope, the lacr of useable space in the roof and lack of true dormers were all very clear issues. The changes that you have made to the plan are minor changes to the eve line by providing "eyebrows" over the balconies. The building needs to move in and out in a meaninofirl wnv r.'irh building steo backs. The roof pitcir should be changed in order to add domrers and program within the roof. It may be necessary to change the sizes and shapes of the dwellins r'-i+" i6 order to create interest in the oulromg lrass. Y ou may not be able to use one standard size unit, repeated over ano tl v c1 . The proposed design still continues to promote the poor design of the existing buildinss in Lionshead which were designed in the early 1970's. Staffunderstands your concem about 2' 2. 3. 4. 5. movjng too far from the existing design on-site, but if we are to effect real change in Lionshead, property owners are going to need to be very creative about the redevelopment. Additionally, the modifications to the existing building need to be more substantial. You need to consider irnproving the fagade and roof in order to more closely comply with the proposed design guidelines. The inprovements to the existing building need to also be clearly shown on the proposed plans. Please consider a new design consistent rvith the Lionshead Master Plan design guidelines and the input you received from the Town Boards. Please show more clearly on the plan how pedestrians interface with this development. Consider both the circulation of the pedestrian along the roadway and how pedestrians will enter and exit this project. Please indicate the type of proposed paver material, whether it is proposed to be heated (hrghly recommended due to shading that will occur), and how the irprovements connect with adjacent improvements. The internal courtyard improvemdnts will need to be heated in order to deal with icing and snow. If you intend to utilize the heat from the garage to heat this area, a report from an engineer will be necessary to validate this approach. Please show the fire department access and staging area for this development. You may want to meet with the Fire Marshall, Mike McGee (479-2135),to determine what specific needs may be necessary. All of the parking spaces on this development are undersized. Our parking standards require surface parking spaces to be 9' x 19'. Enclosed or structured spaces may be 9' x 18'. Our standards also allow 25Yo ofthe required spaces to be conpact spaces and signed as such. Corrpact spaces may be 8' x 16'. All of the spaces you are proposing are smaller than our requirements. Staffstrongly recommends meeting these rninimums and not requesting a deviation from these requirements. Most of the vehicles which are utilized in this area tend to be on the larger size, such as vans and suburbans, which will not be able to utilize the size of spaces that you are proposing. Additionally, drive aisles where parking exists need tu bc 24' in width and the access ramps need to be a minirrum of 22' wide. Minimumheight clearance nnrst be 7'. Please revise the plan accordingly. Please show the proposed slopes of the ramps within the structure. Please provide a written description of how your tandemparkins will be utilized and cperate. fue you proposing any inprovements to the riparian corridor? Staffbelieves the existing pool, ' -i- .. l-;;i;d o;. l- . .--yutlt olr.'.l..l Le removed or rerocated elsewhere vrithin the boundaries ofthis property. Where it exists today, it causes a dangerous conflict with the hike path/stream walk. Ycii uray also want to consider coordinating with Li'. iviariott and developing a joint facility. 6. 1 8. 9. You will need to coordinate yr.rur improvements in total with that of the Mariott. They are also proposing to redevelop and it is necessary to make sure these plans function well together, especially as it relates to pedestrian access. 10. Drainage on the project will need to be properly planned. Civil drawings will be required before a DRB approval. 11. Please show clearly how loading and delivery will be handled at this site. Also clearly show how the trash facilities will be accessed and screened. This may require an understanding of tuming radii and truck clearances for various vehicles accessing the site. This analysis must also be included in the traffc study, prepared by a qualified consultant. r2. What is the proposed use of the new redwood deck? The landscaping proposed on-site is fairly limited. It may be necessary to utilize this area for trees and other plantings. Please provide a calculation of the existing and proposed landscape area. The Lionshead Master Plan proposes to keep the existing site coverage (70%) and landscape area Q0%) standards of the CC2 zone district. These comments represent the preliminary comments of the Town of Vail staff Once additional submittals are provided more detailed comments may be produced. These comments were not intended to "blind-side" you, but instead, intended to give you meaningful and constructive direction in the development of your plans. I hope you will take this direction as well as the direction given to you by the Town Council, PEC and DRB and develop a project which sets the standard for redevelopment in Lionshead. If you have any questions or want to setup a meaning to discuss these issues, please call me at 479-2t48.

Lionshead Pl./ Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Lionshead 4th Filing. Applicant: Antlers Condominium Association, represented by Robert LeVine Planner: Dominic Mauriello Attached is preliminary proposal by the Antlers Condominium Association. The applicant is seeking preliminary input from the PEC regarding potential Special Development District and major exterior alteration applications for the Antlers property. The applicant will be making a presentation to the PEC and is hoping to gain some insight about the direction they are heading. No decisions are being requested of the PEC at this time. F:\EVERYONE\PECllrrEMOS\98\ANTLERS. 71 3 4NTL€R ,ry SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To: Town of Vail PEC, DRB and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date: 7/1/98 Subject Antlers 2000 / Gondominium Rentals Friends, Like the Town of Vail, we want to insure that any new condominiums will be actively rented. While not sure how to guarantee that outcome, we are confident that we can effect it. We think our history proves that. Currently 69 out of the 70 Antlers units are actively rented. In the past twenty years there have never been more than two units which were not in the rental program. Last year our paying occupancy was 56% and total occupancy with owners, guests and comps was 61%. Those numbers have been generally very steady, although increasing slightly over the years. This has not happened by accident. We have taken several measures to insure the rental of our condominiums, and plan to do the same with the new units. Perhaps most important is the association's decision to set the condominium fees (fixed costs) relatively high and the rental split relatively low. That split is currently 640/olo the owner and 36% to the association. Someone who doesn't rent their unit has only the high fixed costs, but those who do rent see their fees offset with a higher percentage of the rental income. This scenario tends to attract buyers who are generally interested in renting their units from the outset. There has been discussion by our board of directors about returning even more of the rental dollars to the owners, and increasing regular assessments stillfurther. Almost every Antlers owner uses their unit during the course of the year. Many of them let friends and family use it extensively. We encourage that use. Despite the fact that the association gets no income from it, we recognize the utility of that usage and the important role it plays in their total satisfaction as an owner. Doing otherwise might discourage their willingness to rent their condominium the rest of the time. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 rnx (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Maintenance costs and housekeeping fees are extremely reasonable to those owners who rent their units. We charge a maximum of $20 per hour for our maintenance staff time, including modest electrical, plumbing and even some remodeling work. For housekeeping, owners pay just a $29 check-outfee when they stay in their unitfor a week. They getfulldaily maid service at no charge- Similarly priced services are not offered to those who don't participate in the rental program. Something happened recently which demonstrates our association's commitmentto a strong rentalprogram. You need to understand thatthe Antlers has a twenty day right-of-first-refusal period during which any existing owner (or group of owners) can match the terms and conditions of a bona fide offer and in effect "steal" a contract from a prospective condominium buyer. Last year someone contracted to buy an Antlers one-bedroom condominium for $230,000. They made it clear that they did not intend to rent the unit. Within two weeks an LLC was formed and twenty-four existing Antlers owners agreed to put in $10,000 each. Their intent was to buy the unit just to keep it in the rental program. One of those owners then agreed to buy the unitthemselves and keep it as a rental. They ultimately did so, but the LLC exists today and most of those owners are still prepared to act if necessary. The projected price point on our new units is $425 per square foot. While this certainly seems high, ifs not too much more than the $368 price of the last Antlers sale. We think that recent prices of six and eight hundred dollars per foot in Vail Village attract a clientele less inclined to renttheir units. While we expect the new Antlers units to be better quality than the existing units, they will at least be in the same league; nicer than anything else in Lionshead, but not "trophy home" material, if you know what I mean. Our understanding is that requiring someone to rent their unit gets onto very shaky legal ground. We have been told that doing so would require us to register with the SEC and sell these units as securities. lf the Town of Vail can help us figure out a way to guarantee their rental, we would be anxious to cooperate. However, short of that, we hope you understand that we have the very same vested interest as the Town in keeping all of our condominiums as "live beds". We willdo everything we can to make sure that happens. 4NTL(R ,ry SA T \NIL Demolish existing parking structure (this includes entry foyer, lobby, some offices and all meeting facilities) Rebuild parking structure with 114 spaces (currently 70 spaces) Construct new lobby/reception area, offices and allconference facilities Construct 24 new condominiums (for sale) Gonstruct 7 units of employee housing (for rent) Replace all siding and railings on existing building to match exterior of new construction Fire sprinkler for entire existing building (in addition to new construction) Allowable under current zoning Existing Proposed Parking ')70 spaces 114 spaces (106 covered) Dwelling units 26 72 96 EHU's 0 ltrro existing employee units are not doed restricted) 7 GRFA 36,000 55,638 87,088 (not countinq 3.500 EHU) Maximum Heisht 48 feet 80 feet (?)Unchanged Gommon Area N/A 10,000 (approximate)14,520 Elevators N/A 1 2 Fire sprinkler N/A None Full Sidins Not T-111 T-111 Stucco Benefits to the Town of Vail Seven additional units of employee housing - on site Eliminate parking lot "eyesore" - parking goes underground lmproved appearance from Lionshead Place lmproved exterior finish of existing building from all directions lncreased "live" beds U pgraded conference facilities 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (97O) 476-2471 rex (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net 4NTL(R ,# SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To: Town of Vail DRB From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Dale:712198 Subject: Antlers 2OOO lDesign Considerations Friends, Like the Town of Vail, we desperately want to improve the aesthetics in our little corner of Lionshead. One of our initial motivations for the whole Antlers 2000 project was simply to dress up the building. We have wrestled with the desire to move as architecturally far away from our existing building as possible (for obvious reasons), yet the hope that the end result would not appear as two separate properties. We welcome the fact that whatever exterior finish goes on the new structure (stucco & stone?) will be retrofitted over the existing building as well. The prospect of ridding ourselves of T-111 forever is a joyous one ... we knew you'd like that too. In addition to the existing T-111, the rest of the current exterior is made up of exposed aggregate. Since that cannot functionally be changed, our hope is to match its color and incorporate the texture of the round rocks, albeit much larger, with a river rock facia similar to that found on the new gondola building. We realize that our proposed roof pitch is less than that suggested by the Lionshead masterplan, but our intentions to make the new structure "fit" with the old one directed us to match the existing 2112 piIch. Eliminating our parking lot "front door" is clearly a huge improvement, and we have tried to incorporate the "entry gate" theme from the masterplan recommendations. As you approach the building driving south on Lionshead Circle, the new structure will (happily) almost completely hide the existing building behind it. However, since the existing building is still about nine feet taller than the new construction, the skyline will not be changed until you get pretty close to the Antlers. Thanks very much for your time, we're looking forward to working with you through the process and coming up with a product that wilt be a huge improvement for us as well as for Lionshead and the town. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (97O) 476-2471 rnx (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net FI !i 3t g ac F I I a li li j:i i3$l 3qq!?:::lrro AFA! {{{{ TT{I E ilrl A EffE HHH H {D I3 g g E il lill l5 te t? l{ El dl liiiiii llid ?fs tJ' js., lr;l.

PrKNC-.111 Spaoot i SHEET INDEX':, - ":i 4NTL€R ,ry SA T \NIL Antlers Redevelopment Open Space and Recreational Plan Open Space: The proposed Antlers redevelopment should not have any impact on open space per se. The entire site coverage of the new structure is currently an unattractive, surface parking lot. For over twenty years the Antlers has maintained the Town of Vail tract located just east of the property. Trees and sod were planted in the early seventies. A sprinkler system was installed shortly after that. All lawn care and plant maintenance has been at the Antlers' expense. Likewise, the lawn and flower beds adjacent to the bike path just south of the building have been planted and maintained by the Antlers. Much of that is also on public property. The Condominium Association would be happy to make a commitment to continue this practice in the future. Recreation Plan: Since 1992 the Antlers has had an ongoing agreement with the Vail Recreation District. The Antlers provides housing at no charge to the District whenever there is a need; whether for camp coaches, tournament referees, special events or job applicants. In exchange for this, the Antlers guests and owners enjoy free access to some of the District's facilities such as the Lionshead tennis courts, public skating at Dobson lce Arena and the Nature Center. There are some limits to availability on both sides, but in the past seven years the Antlers has provided 745 nights of complimentary lodging under this program. The retail value of that lodging has been $105,320. This is a classic case of a "win-win", public/private partnership. By using excess capacity at little or no cost to the Rec. District, the Antlers has been able to promote a free benefit for its guests. Those visitors have enjoyed and utilized recreation amenities that they otherwise may not have, adding to their overall Vail experience. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 rax (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net The Rec. District has been able to save significant funds that they can presumably put back into programs and infrastructure, which in tum provides a better experience for everyone. The Antlers has committed significant time, energy and money into the promotion of this program, and has no intentions of letting it drop. Although entertainment and education may not fall under the strict definition of "recreation", we think that they too, are an integral part of the Vail experience for both guests and residents. The 745 nights of complimentary housing provided to the Recreation District pale in comparison to the cumulative amount given to a plethora of other organizations in the Vail Valley. These include, but are not limited to: Echo Ranch Vail Tomorrow Trout Unlimited VailSymposium Bravo! Colorado Ducks Unlimited VailArts Festival SpecialOlympics Yail Jazz Foundation Jimmy Huega Center The Resource Center VailValley Foundation Vail Recreation District Better Business Bureau Vail Community Theatre Drug Free Eagle County Vail / Eagle Valley Rotary Vail Valley Tourism Bureau Colorado Children's Chorale Vail International Dance Festival Lift Your Spirits in the Vail Valley Lionshead Merchants Association Eagle Valley Friends of the Dance Eagle Valley Family Assistance Fund Vail Valley Business/Education Alliance While it may not be possible to make everlasting firm commitments to each of these programs, the Antlers has a distinguished twenty-six year history of ongoing community involvement. This is not going to change, although the additional units associated with the proposed redevelopment will help allow that support to grow even more in the future. 4NTL€R '# SA T \\IL Allowable under current zoninq (CCll) Existing Proposed Parking .,70 spaces 114 spaces (106 covered) Dwelling units 30 72 96 EHU's 0 (two existing employee units are not deed restricted) 7 units @ 500 s.f.

A summary of the project includes: Demolish the existing parking structure (this includes the entry foyer, lobby, some offices and all meeting facilities) Rebuild the parking structure with 106 underground spaces Construct an attractive motor court with B short term parking spaces for arrival, drop-off, van pick-up, etc. Construct all new lobby/reception area, offices and conference facilities Construct 24 new condominiums (for sale) with a mixture of two, three and four bedrooms Construct 7 units of employee housing (for rent) Replace all siding and railings on the existing building to match the exterior of the new construction lnstall fire suppression sprinklers throughout the existing building, as well as the new construction Like much of Lionshead, the Antlers was built in 1972 by developers looking to make a quick buck. Attention to quality and detail is generally absent in both the architecture, as well as the building infrastructure. While it may be possible to assess the ownership over time for all of the essential improvements, most likely those assessments would turn out to be "band-aids" for the worst elements of the property, without significant enhancements being made. They would most likely take place piecemeal over time, and would certainly not effect meaningful strides toward the implementation of the Lionshead masterplan. As one example of this, without the complete redevelopment plan, the Condominium Association needs to spend $500,000 on the parking structure just to extend its useful life 10 - 15 more years. This would be a substantial commitment from the owners, with absolutely no visual or functional improvement to the property. By comparison, Antlers 2000 will result in virtually allof the parking going underground, yielding much improved aesthetics for the entire neighborhood. Another example of the benefit associated with larger redevelopment is the ability to incorporate a meaningful number of employee housing units into the project. This just won't happen without the sales of additional units to subsidize their cost. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (97O) 476-2471 rnx (97O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Our hope is to start construction in the spring of 1999. In order to do that we must begin the Town of Vail entitlement process now. We have been prepared to submit our application for some time, but have been waiting for completion of the Lionshead masterplan. We regret that we must begin the process now, under the Special Development District guidelines; but sincerely hope that our project will meet all of the eventual criteria of the masterplan. We would like nothing better than to convert our application from an SDD to one of "conforming use" if and when the completed masterplan will accommodate it. There are currently 70 individually owned condominiums in the Antlers. The redevelopment would increase that number to 94. There will also be seven new employee housing units on site. Other than those two changes, the nature and uses of the property will be identical to today's. The common areas will obviously be much improved, which we expect to help increase our short-term rental business. The anticipated construction schedule has parking lot demolition in late April, 1999. The building will be closed to rentals for seven months. By next December we expect to have the parking lot completed, as well as the new lobby and offices. The superstructure of the new condominiums will be complete and hopefully under roof. That will enable us to re-open for hotel operations, although with the appropriate forewarning to our guests that the property is still under construction. The new units, the conference facilities and the employee housing will all be completed between December, 1999 and Ju|y,2000. Landscaping and allfinal details will be completed by September, 2000. In addition to improving the property for our own self interest, we firmly believe that there are a number of important community benefits associated with Antlers 2000. These obviously include the improved appearance from every direction and the creation of on-site employee housing. Less tangible, but perhaps even more important is having someone to show the rest of Lionshead that large scale redevelopment is in fact possible. Condominium associations make up eighty percent of Lionshead. lt is absolutely daunting to them to consider this type of project. lf we really hope to see significant improvements to Lionshead, it will help to have someone set the example. We at the Antlers would like to be that example. 4NTL(R ,# SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To: Town of Vail Staff, PEC, DRB and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date:9/14198 Subject Antlers 2O0O lCondominium Rentals Friends, Like the Town of Vail, we want to insure that any new condominiums will be actively rented. While not sure how to guarantee that outcome, we are confident that we can effect it. We think our history proves that. Currently 69 out of the 70 Antlers units are actively rented. In the past twenty years there have never been more than two units which were not in the rental program. Last year our paying occupancy was 56% and total occupancy with owners, guests and comps was 61%. Those numbers have been generally very steady, although increasing slightly over the years. This has not happened by accident. We have taken several measures to insure the rental of our condominiums, and plan to do the same with the new units. Perhaps most important is the association's decision to set the condominium fees (fixed costs) relatively high and the rental split relatively low. That split is currently 64% to the owner and 36% to the association. Someone who doesn't rent their unit has only the high fixed costs, but those who do rent see their fees offset with a higher percentage of the rental income. This scenario tends to attract buyers who are generally interested in renting their units from the outset. There has been discussion by our board of directors about returning even more of the rental dollars to the owners, and increasing regular assessments still further. Almost every Antlers owner uses their unit during the course of the year. Many of them let friends and family use it extensively. We encourage that use. Despite the fact that the association gets no income from it, we recognize the utility of that usage and the important role it plays in their total satisfaction as an owner. Doing otherwise might discourage their willingness to rent their condominium the rest of the time. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (9701 476-2471 rnx (S7O) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Maintenance costs and housekeeping fees are extremely reasonable to those owners who rent their units. We charge a maximum of $20 per hour for our maintenance staff time, including modest electrical, plumbing and even some remodeling work. For housekeeping, owners pay just a $29 check-out fee when they stay in their unit for a week. They get full daily maid service at no charge. Similarly priced services are not offered to those who don't participate in the rental program. Something happened recently which demonstrates our association's commitment to a strong rental program. You need to understand that the Antlers has a twenty day right-of- first-refusal period during which any existing owner (or group of owners) can match the terms and conditions of a bona fide offer and in effect "steal" a contract from a prospective condominium buyer. Last year someone contracted to buy an Antlers one-bedroom condominium for $230,000. They made it clear that they did not intend to rent the unit. Within two weeks an LLC was formed and twenty-four existing Antlers owners agreed to put in $10,000 each. Their intent was to buy the unitTusf to keep it in the rental program. One of those owners then agreed to buy the unit themselves and keep it as a rental. They ultimately did so, but the LLC exists today and most of those owners are still prepared to act if necessary. The projected price point on our new units is $425 per square foot. While this certainly seems high, it's not too much more than the $368 price of the last Antlers sale. We think that recent prices of six and eight hundred dollars per foot in Vail Village attract a clientele not inclined to rent their units. While we expect the new Antlers units to be befter quality than the existing units, they will at least be in the same league; nicer than anything else in Lionshead, but not "trophy home" material. Our understanding is that requiring someone to rent their unit gets onto very shaky legal ground. We have been told that doing so would require us to register with the SEC and sell these units as securities. lf the Town of Vail can help us figure out a way to do it, we would be more than happy to cooperate. However, short of that, we hope you understand that we have the very same vested interest as the Town in keeping all of our condominiums as "live beds". We will do everything we can to make sure that happens. 4NTL(R ,ry SA T \NIL MEMORANDUM To:Town of VailStaff, DRB, PEC and Town Council From: Robert LeVine, General Manager Date:9/14198 Subject: Antlers 2000 | Design Considerations Friends. Like the Town of Vail, we desperately want to improve the aesthetics in our little corner of Lionshead. Indeed, our initial motivation for the whole Antlers 2000 project was simply to dress up the building. We have wrestled with the desire to move as architecturally'far away from our existing building as possible (for obvious reasons), yet the hope that the end result would not appear as two separate properties. We welcome the fact that whatever exterior finish goes on the new structure (stucco & stone?) will be retrofifted over the existing building as well. The prospect of ridding ourselves of T-1 1 1 forever is a joyous one ... we knew you'd like that too. In addition to the existing T-111, the rest of the current exterior is made up of exposed aggregate. Since that cannot functionally be changed, our hope is to match its color and incorporate the texture of the round rocks, albeit much larger, with a river rock fagade similar to that found on the new gondola building. We realize that our proposed roof pitch is less than that suggested by the Lionshead masterplan, but our intentions to make the new structure "fit" with the old one directed us to match the existing 3/12 pitch. In response to initial feedback, we have now incorporated dormers into the roof form in order to increase the interest and articulation. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 rnx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net Eliminating our parking lot "front door" is clearly a huge improvement, and we have tried to incorporate the "entry gate" theme from the masterplan recommendations. As you approach the building driving south on Lionshead Circle, the new structure will (happily) almost completely hide the existing building behind it. However, since the existing building is still about nine feet taller than the new construction, the skyline will not be changed until you get quite close to the Antlers, Initial reaction to our plans has been generally positive. However, there have been some suggestions that we need to move even further away from any elements of the existing building. We would then need to incorporate more changes to the older part in order to make it all cohesive. While these goals are admirable, I beg you to consider the difficulty in gaining the necessary consensus from a condominium association. I certainly don't mean to suggest compromising our objectives in any way. However, I hope you agree that significant improvement, while perhaps shy of perfection, is still far better than the status quo. Thanks very much for your time, we're looking forward to working with you through the process and building a product that will be a huge improvement for us as well as for Lionshead and the Town of Vail. zo Er 6a V)tr F'] F e EJ i*rs iH u, Hi d! fre =l 6Rrr-FS -lLoq ?8 fiz? =uo u.lo6z7{ Ulv.ot=atErlUoJZ2t = &'\ 4r* {* -S/. anR I+ \. ..) \.9 \ o o o Lv:ru ,r*)r' i$' ?trR x* sy)ru * --s2,ftr\*x* ,re,2 *& "'f N q'.' * J€ .!. ro Jit .{tf ir t5 fI8ftrE FIE =I =aB l-.l? -Eoq ?8 =2z? =Uou{od 6q 3sttrL LUOJZ ZF ati ,1 '.( .": J1 , ? \1l !in'er ,J,|ril;il' ,TT \ t -J___-g X- ,i- Efl----:. ;:-= -I ' -'Ef,*x**;+&$ F'EE!I| -rI!F rtE Previous At)t)l't'i()N t : ANT LER$ CONDOiVTINI UM ADDITION i 1 rt.l A DDITION # Previous .l From Lionshead Place looking south as if driving down the street From Lionshead Place looking south as if driving down the street From Bwana face looking north From Born Free looking northwest From Lionshead Place looking south oo View from gondola looking west View from Born Free View from Skier's Bridge View from bike path behind Lionsquare Lodge looking west View from bike pathJdiry east View from Marriott looking south View from Marriott looking south View from Marriott's pool ._t_.r, .rt tl lll 1..\' -- ,' 6goWes Lionshead place O O Vail, Colorado Al 657 Lion Square Lodge 660 W.
