to review the suggestion as part of the employee housing work plan.

generally located at 2850 Kinnickinnick Road more commonly referenced through ownership as the
Pedotto property. Mayor Peggy Osterfoss read the title in full. Andy Knudtsen gave a review of
Planning Commission conditions that had been discussed during the two prior meetings. He pointed
out under the Vail Land Use Plan the site is designated as Medium Density Residential, allowing 7
to 33 dwelling units per acre. The applicant proposed 8.1 dwelling units per acre. Rick Rosen, legal
counsel to Greg Amsden, member of PEC and developer on the project, explained the applicant's
proposal into a subdivider improvements agreement with the Town of Vail prior to the development
of the project. The curb and gutter would be completed almost immediately, the sidewalk would
be completed no later than June 1, 1995, using a letter of credit to guarantee completion. Tom
Moorhead, upon completion of the improvements the developer may apply to have a portion of the
letter of credit released. Once the premises has been inspected and approved by Greg Hall, Town
Engineer, the Town would release with a 10% retainage. If the work has not been completed by the
completion date, the Town would have a right to draw upon the letter. The applicants had
previously agreed to restrict the plat with 15 conditions that staff had listed in a memo. In addition
to those, the applicant agreed to 1) The number of employee housing units shall be increased from
three to four. The total number of dwelling units on the site shall remain at 19. 2) The applicant
shall agree to adding language to the deed restrictions requiring that the employee housing units
shall be rented and shall be rented at a market rate. 3) The applicant shall add two berm at the
