First item on the agenda was Citizen Participation of which there was none.
Second on the agenda was Proclamation No. 1, Series of 1996, Girl Scouts' Be Your Best
Day. Mayor Armour welcomed Brownie Girl Scouts 9-year old Kaitlin Duffey and 7-year old
Chelsea Donaldson to the meeting and read Proclamation No. 1 in full. Kaitlin Duffey then
read a prepared statement encouraging community members to "be your best" on March
12.
Third on the agenda was the Consent Agenda, which consisted of the approval of the
Minutes for the meetings of February 6 and 20, 1996. Mike Jewett moved to approve the
minutes of February 20, and requested the minutes of February 6 be continued until the
next evening meeting, pending his review of the tape recording. Paul Johnston seconded
the motion, which was passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item number four was the Review of the Lottery Values and Weighting of Criteria.
Council was requested to review information, provide feedback, modify, and approve
lottery criteria and weighting. Mike Jewett excused himself from the discussion. Local
business owner and resident, Jack Curtin, expressed his views in determining the criteria,
• stating that people who live and work in Vail should be given higher preference. Council
members expressed their understanding, but some felt it was important to encourage
employees working in Vail and living outside the town limits to move back to Vail. Rob Ford
moved to adopt the lottery criteria pursuant to staff recommendation with changes, and
Paul seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed, 6-0, Jewett abstaining, and the
following criteria was adopted:
• Current and consecutive years of EMPLOYMENT in Vail will be weighted 3-to-1
over consecutive years of employment elsewhere in Eagle County and historical
employment in Vail immediately preceding consecutive employment elsewhere in
Eagle County.
• Current and consecutive years of RESIDENCE in Vail will be weighted 2-to-1 over
consecutive years of residence elsewhere in Eagle County and historical residence
in Vail immediately preceding consecutive residence elsewhere in Eagle County.
• HOMEOWNERS at the time of the lottery application are not eligible unless, upon
selection, they deed restrict and agree to complete the sale of that residence before
or simultaneously with the purchase of the Vail Commons unit.
• A 20 point bonus will be provided for DEED RESTRICTING and selling a unit in Vail
Is because of the net gain in locals housing that results.
• Lender PREQUALIFICATION will be required prior to application.
Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes 03/05/96
Agenda item number five was Ordinance No. 4, Series of 1996, first reading of an
ordinance amending Chapter 18.18, Section 18.18.090 Density Control, Medium -Density
Family (MDMF) District of the Vail Municipal Code. Mayor Armour read the title in full.
• Town Planner, Dominic Mauriello presented the item and explained staff had discovered
that when Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1991 was adopted it inadvertently omitted the
density provisions which limit the density in the district to a maximum of eighteen (18)
dwelling units per acre of buildable site area. Dominic further stated that staff was
proposing Ordinance 4 to correct the oversight. Paul moved to approve the ordinance with
a second from Kevin Foley. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Sixth on the agenda was Ordinance No.6, Series of 1996, first reading of First Amendment to
the Town of Vail Employees' Pension Plan. Mayor Armour read the title in full. Tom
Moorhead presented the item, stating this was a follow up ordinance, similar to the
amendment passed recently for the Fire and Police Pension Plan. He informed Council that
the change in text was prompted by an IRS review, at the request of the Town in order to
obtain a determination letter from the IRS. A motion was made by Sybill to approve
Ordinance 6, Series of 1996 on first reading, with a second from Paul. The motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
Item number seven on the agenda was Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1996, first reading of
an ordinance repealing and reenacting Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1994, for the
• construction of a Type III Employee Housing Unit in the Cornice Building; to amend the
development plans for Special Development District No. 32 in accordance with Chapter
18.40 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code; and setting forth details in regard thereto. Mayor
Armour read the title in full. Town Planner, Jim Curnutte, presented the item, and, together
with the owner representative, Tom Braun, gave a detailed history of the project. The
following background was provided: On February 12, 1996, the applicant's representative,
Tom Braun, appeared before the Planning and Environmental Commission, ("PEC") with
a request for a Major Amendment to Special Development District (SDD) No. 32, to allow
for the construction of an employee housing unit, located at the Cornice Building, 362 Vail
Valley Drive/part of Tract B, Vail Village 1st Filing. In addition to the proposal to construct
an employee housing unit in the Cornice Building, the applicant also proposed a change
to the approved development plan with regard to the outdoor lighting requirements. The
applicant was seeking greater flexibility in the outdoor lighting requirement than is currently
allowed by Chapter 18.54, Design Review, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.
Upon review of the Major SDD Amendment request, in accordance with Section 18.40.100
of the Vail Municipal Code, the PEC approved a motion to recommend approval of the
• Major SDD Amendment request to the Town Council with following conditions:
1. That the proposed employee housing unit, within the Cornice Building, not
be eligible for sale separately from the single-family dwelling unit.
i
2. That any previous approvals for outdoor lighting on the property be voided
by this approval.
That the internal access door between the existing garage and the proposed
employee housing unit be eliminated.
The motion to recommend approval of the Major SDD Amendment request passed 3-1-1
(Bowen dissented, Amsden abstained). A copy of the memorandum prepared for the PEC,
dated February 12, 1996, was attached for reference.
Jim stated that in accordance with the memorandum prepared by staff for the PEC on
02112/96, the Community Development Department recommended approval of the
proposed Major Amendment to Special Development District No. 32, the Cornice Building.
Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes 03/05/96
Jim Lamont representative for the East Village Homeowners Association voiced his
concern regarding the additional outside parking the approval would provide, citing the
visual impact vehicles parked outside would have on the neighborhood. Tom Braun
proposed various solutions and discussion continued regarding the applicant's lighting
request. Paul Johnston moved to approve Ordinance No. 8, Series of 1996, subject to the
three restrictions imposed by the PEC, allowing outside surface parking. Mike Jewett
seconded the motion. A vote was taken and failed, 4-3, Sybill, Rob, Ludwig and Mayor
Armour voting in opposition. Rob Ford then moved to approve the Ordinance subject to the
three restrictions imposed by the PEC, and, additionally, limiting permanent parking to the
garage only, restricting the outside driveway to loading, drop off and pick up only. The
motion was seconded by Sybill. Council members then discussed enforcement issues, and
Bob McLaurin said enforcement would occur if and when complaints were received. A vote
was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
The last item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Bob McLaurin reported on
his meeting with Eagle County engineer regarding options for proceeding with the railroad
right-of-way. Council supported the county in continuing to pursue all options.
Kevin Foley congratulated Sara Wall, who took first place in the recent Slolom & Giant
Slolom races.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:35 p.m.

--Site Visit
The Council made a site visit to the Cornice Building at 363 Vail Valley Drive in
preparation for the evening meeting. (See evening meeting briefs.)
--Special Events Interface with Vail Valley Marketing Board and Vail Valley Tourism &
Convention Bureau
An informational overview was presented by Frank Johnson, president of the Vail
Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, and other VVTCB representatives. The
presentation included an update on the integration of special events, communications,
visitor information and marketing within the framework of the VVTCB organization. The
briefing was intended as an orientation for new Council members.
--Appeals Process Discussion (Ordinance No. 7)
After reviewing a staff proposal to revise the appeals process for development review,
Council members offered support for adding clarity and addressing inconsistencies in
the appeals process (through a revision of the codes), but turned down a controversial
recommendation to remove the Council from the appeals process of Design Review
Board decisions and certain variance appeals of the Planning and Environmental
Commission. While the staff had attempted to recommend a streamlined process that
enables a decision to be appealed only once (DRB appeals heard by PEC and PEC
appeals heard by the courts), Council members objected, saying review of appeals at
the Council level should be inherent to the process. Council members said the entire
development review process should be scrutinized and suggested contacting current
• and former applicants for their feedback. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners
Association urged the town to move forward in analyzing the entire process, while Sue
Dugan, who works in the real estate field, suggested the length of time to appeal a
decision should be extended to better accommodate the second homeowner
community. For additional details, contact Susan Connelly in the Community
Development Department at 479-2138.

R CYCLE[7 PAPER
Council Highlights/Add 1
--Housing Lottery Criteria
With Mike Jewett excusing himself from the discussion, the remaining Council members
continued their review of the lottery criteria for the Vail Commons project. Although
Council members expressed interest in protecting the integrity of the lottery process
and said they would be offended by someone trying to "make a buck" on the subsidized
housing, they stopped short of creating a "deed police" requirement. Instead, the
criteria will continue to focus on the goals to be achieved, not on those who may
attempt to subvert the integrity of the process. Sybill Navas wondered if, the criteria
would eliminate someone with significant assets. In response, Andy Knudtsen, senior
housing policy planner, said the criteria requiring local wage earners to work 30 hours
a week should address the concern. Navas also reluctantly agreed to support a plan to
award lottery bonus points to anyone agreeing to deed restrict and sell a housing unit
in Vail. Navas had proposed allowing the deed restricted unit to be added to the rental
pool, but other Council members said it would be simpler to require the unit to be sold.
In addition, Council members agreed to give additional weighting to lottery applicants
who already live in Vail, Sue Dugan, who works in the real estate profession, advised
the Council to keep the process as simple as possible. She objected to the 30 hour per
Week work requirement for eligibility. Council members agreed the lottery will not be all
things to all people. Following the afternoon discussion, the Council tweaked the lottery
criteria to give additional priority to those working and living in Vail before voting 6-0-1
(Jewett) for final approval. (Please see evening briefs for the final outcome).
--Information Update 0
The Council agreed to start its March 12 work session at noon to continue discussions
from the Feb. 27 retreat.

--Citizen Participation
There was no citizen participation.
--Girl Scouts' Be Your Best Day
Mayor Bob Armour read a proclamation declaring March 12 as Girl Scouts' Be Your
Best Day in Vail. The proclamation was presented to 9-year-old Kaitlin Duffey and 7-
year-old Chelsea Donaldson, representing the scouting community.
--Lottery Criteria Final Approval
With Michael Jewett again refraining from the discussion, the Council heard a request
from Vail businessman Jack Curtin to give higher lottery preference to those who not •
only work in Vail, but those who already live in Vail, as well. Current residents (renters)
are the people who should be rewarded, Curtin said, because they're paying the price
to live here with their tax dollars. In addition, the action would double the affordable
housing stock in Vail from 53 to 106, he said. Council members were sympathetic to
(more)
Council Highlights/Add 2
Curtin's request, but said the lottery criteria should not punish someone who is
currently unable to find affordable housing in Vail due to the lack of inventory. Some
members emphasized the town's leadership role in solving valleywide problems. The
Council then voted 6-0-1 (Jewett abstaining) to adopt the lottery criteria as follows:
• Current and consecutive years of EMPLOYMENT in Vail will be weighted 3-to-1
over consecutive years of employment elsewhere in Eagle County and historical
employment in Vail immediately preceding consecutive employment elsewhere
in Eagle County.
Current and consecutive years of RESIDENCE in Vail will be weighted 2-to-1
over consecutive years of residence elsewhere in Eagle County and historical
residence in Vail immediately preceding consecutive residence elsewhere in
Eagle County.
• HOMEOWNERS at the tome of the lottery application are not eligible unless,
upon selection, they deed restrict and agree to complete the sale of that
residence before or simultaneously with the purchase of the Vail Commons unit.
• A 20 point bonus will be provided for DEED RESTRICTING and selling a unit in
Vail because of the net gain in locals housing that results.
Lender PREQUALIFICATION will be required prior to application.
The next phase of the lottery process will include hammering out the details of the
financial prequalification requirement. For more information, contact Andy Knudtsen in
the Community Development Department at 479-2440.
--Ordinance No. 4, Density Control, Medium -Density Family District of the Vail
Municipal Code
The Council voted 7-0 to approve.this housekeeping ordinance on first reading-
--Ordinance No. 6, Amendment to the Town of Vail Employees' Pension Plan
The Council voted 7-0 to approve this ordinance on first reading. It, too, is a
housekeeping measure.
--Ordinance No. 8, Cornice Building Major Special Development District Amendment
The Council voted 7-0 to approve on first reading a major amendment to the Cornice
Building Special Development District. The motion for approval carried with it the
additional condition that no permanent exterior parking for the employee housing unit
tenant be allowed on the property with the exception of loading and deliveries.
Approval would allow creation of an employee housing unit within the Cornice Building
and additional flexibility with regard to outdoor lighting requirements. Jim Lamont of the
East Village Homeowners Association voiced the group's concerns about allowing
surface parking on the site. The ordinance will be heard for second reading at the
• March 19 evening meeting. For additional details, contact George Ruther in the
Community Development Department at 479-2145.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: February 12, 1996
SUBJECT: A request for a Major Amendment to SDD No. 32 to allow for the
construction of an Employee Housing unit located at The Cornice Building,
362 Vail Valley Drive/Part of Tract B, Vail Village 1st Filing.
Applicant: David Smith, represented by Tom Braun
Planner: George Ruther
AROUND
The establishment of Special Development District (SDD) #32, the Cornice Building, was
approved by the Vail Town Council on April 5, 1994, ( Ordinance #7, Series of 1994). This
approval set development standards and requirements for the redevelopment of the Cornice
Building located at 362 Vail Valley Drive. The expressed purpose for the creation of the Cornice
Building SDD was to allow for greater flexibility in the redevelopment of the properly and that
certain public benefits would be realized through the creation of the SDD.
As part of the original SDD approval, the developer agreed to provide three, permanently
restricted employee housing units. The units are to be located within the Town of Vail limits,
close to a Town of Vail bus route and are to be rented at reasonable market rates. Additionally,
the units are to always comply with the Town of Vail housing ordinance requirements, as may be
amended from time to time. Each of the three employee units are to be deed -restricted and
available for occupancy prior to a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy being issued for the
Cornice Building.
On May 26, 1994, the Town issued a building permit for the demolition of the original Cornice
Building and its subsequent reconstruction. Construction on the Cornice Building is nearly
complete, with only a few minor improvements in need of completion. To date, two of the three
required employee units have been completed and permanently restricted in accordance with the
original SDD approval. These include a new employee unit constructed within an existing duplex
in the Pitkin Creek Meadows area of East Vail, and a new employee unit located within a new
duplex in the Golfcourse neighborhood. The third employee unit was originally planned to be
located at the Vail Racquet Club. The applicant's plans to deed -restrict that unit did not work
out, and the applicant is proposing to construct the last of the three required units in the Cornice
Building,
F.\EVFRY0N9,PECaffiM05\C0RNICF.F12
The applicant is proposing a Major Amendment to Special Development District #32, in
accordance with Section 18.40.100, Amendment Procedures, of the Vail Municipal Code. A
Major Amendment is being proposed to allow for the construction of a Type III, Employee
Housing Unit within the Cornice Building, and to allow for greater flexibility in the outdoor •
lighting requirements than is currently allowed by the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance.
Employee Hoes'
Included within the ground level of the newly constructed Cornice Building is a crawl space of
approximately 259 square feet in size. The applicant is proposing to construct the new employee
unit within the crawl space area, as well as extend a portion of the building out underneath an
existing second -floor cantilever. When completed, the total square footage of the employee unit
will be approximately 387 square feet. The only changes to the exterior of the building will be the
in -fill of the area beneath the second -floor cantilever, the addition of three new windows on the
east elevation of the building and the installation of an entrance door with sidelights on the south
elevation. The applicant is proposing to match the exterior changes with the existing architecture
and building materials.
Once completed, the employee unit will be permanently deed -restricted in accordance with the
requirements of the original SDD approval and is intended to satisfiy the requirement as the third
employee unit.
The original approval of Special Development District #32 restricted density to one dwelling unit,
and limited the Total Allowable Gross Residential Floor Area on the property to 2,000 square
feet. With this application, the applicant is proposing to deviate from the original SDD approval.
The applicant is proposing to increase the number of dwelling units on the property to 1.5, and
increase the Total Allowable Gross Residential Floor Area to 2,387 square feet.
The applicant is also proposing to deviate from the on -site parking requirement established by the
underlying zoning of High -Density Multi -Family (HDMF). According to the HDMF zone district,
75% of the required on -site parking must be enclosed within the main building. With this
proposal, the applicant is proposing to enclose 66% of the on -site parking within the main
building.
Outdoor Lighting
The applicant is also proposing to amend Special Development District #32 to allow for greater
flexibility in the outdoor lighting regulations for the property. On May 18, 1993, the Vail Town
Council approved Ordinance No. 9, Series of 1993, setting forth standards for regulating outdoor
lighting in the Town of Vail. According to the approved Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, in part,
one (1) outdoor light source is allowed per one -thousand square feet of total lot area. In the •
opinion of the applicant, it is not practical to be required to adhere to this requirement because of
FAMILYONEMCWWOMORAIICU12
0
the unusually small lot size of the Cornice Building property. As shown below, the total square
footage of the Cornice Building property is 3,659 sq. ft. Based upon 3,659 sq. ft., the building is
allowed only four outdoor lights. According to the applicant, four outdoor lights are not enough
to adequately light the exterior of the building. The applicant would request that he be permitted
to install a total of twelve outdoor lights on the property. This would allow the property to be
adequately lit for safety and aesthetic purposes without resulting in the undesirable side effects of
too much outdoor lighting. The applicant is proposing to install twelve outdoor lights; seven of
which are recessed niche lights in the stairway and balcony walls, two are fully cut-off recessed
can lights installed in the soffit and three are surfaced mounted light fixtures. All of the proposed
light fixtures comply with the Source Lumens limitations of the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance. An
approval -of this outdoor lighting request will void any previous approvals granted for lighting on
the property.

figure is the maximum GRFA that will be allowed on the lot. An additional250 square feet of GRFA, per Chapter 18.71 of
the Vail Municipal Code, shall not be allowed on this site, now or in the future. A 600 square foot credit for a two -car
garage shall be allowed in addition to the 2,000 square feet of GRFA allowed on the site. The approved density for the
Cornice Building shall be one (1) single-family dwelling unit.
* * * According to Section 18.57.060(B)(3), Type -III Employee Housing Units, of the Vail Municipal Code, a Type III Employee
Housing Unit shall be counted as 0.5 dwelling units for the purpose of calculating density.
IV. SDD REVIEW CRITERIA
In reviewing the applicant's proposed Major Amendment to Special Development District #32,
the staff relied on several relevant planning documents to formulate a recommendation. The •
Town of Vail Municipal Code and the Vail Village Master Plan were used to analize this
proposal.
Town of Vail Municipal Code
According to Section 18.40.020(C) of the Vail. Municipal Code, a Major Amendment to an SDD
is defined as:
"any proposal to change uses; increase gross residential floor area; change the number of
dwelling or accomodation units; modify, enlarge, or expand any approved Special
Development District other than a minor amendment."
Staff has determined that, since the applicant is proposing to increase the total amount of GRFA
on the property from 2,000 square feet to 2,387 square feet, and increase the number of dwelling
units within the building from one single-family to a single-family and a Type III employee
housing unit, this request is a Major SDD Amendment.
Section 18.40.080 of the Vail Municipal Code, Special Development District Design Criteria,
establishes nine criteria to be utilized by the Planning and Environmental Commission when
F:\EVERY014OPECdvtEMOS\CORMCE.F l2
evaluating the merits of Special Development District proposals and/or amendments. The
following is an evaluation of the nine design criteria by staff.
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.
This design criteria is relevant to the applicant's proposed amendment to construct a Type
III employee housing unit in the existing building and to increase the total number of
outdoor lights on the property than would otherwise be permitted. The construction of
the employee unit will have minimal, if any, negative effects on the above -listed criteria.
The new unit will be constructed within the existing footprint of the building. Therefore,
the additional bulk and mass being added will not be readily noticable. The portion of the
employee unit constructed under the second -floor cantilever is designed to match the
existing architecture and fenestration of the building. The new front entry to the employee
unit will be slightly recessed to provide articulation and shadow/shade and to avoid the
creation of a large flat wall. All construction associated with the new employee unit will
be built with materials to match those existing on the building. The new construction will
be most visible from the streamwalk along the south side of the property.
Regarding the proposed exterior parking space, the applicant has proposed to increase the
amount of landscaping immediately adjacent to the parking space in order to mitigate any
visual impact associated with a vehicle parked in the space. The applicant is proposing to
relocate three existing Red -Twig Dogwoods and replace them with three Mugho pines.
The Red -Twig Dogwoods will be replanted to the north of the parking space. The
property owner will continue to be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the
landscaping on the property as required by the original SDD approval.
In the staffs opinion, the additional outdoor lighting being proposed by the applicant will
not adversely affect adjacent properties, nor the community in general. The request of the
applicant to be permitted to install twelve outdoor lights on the property, rather than four
as regulated by the Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, does not create a conflict with the intent
of the ordinance.
B. Uses, activity, and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
With regard to GRFA and density, the applicant is requesting an additional 387 square feet
of GRFA, and an increase in density of 0.5 dwelling units more than was originally
approved by the Town Council. The staff believes the proposed increases will be
compatible with surrounding uses and activities. Properties in the immediate vicinty are
zoned for higher density and more intensive use. Prior to the original Cornice Building
being demolished, one dwelling unit and three, studio -size apartments existed on the
FARVERX0NETE02aM0S\C0RNICEF12
property, and at one time in the past, eight, studio -size apartments were on the property.
Additionally, an employee unit in this location will be attractive to persons working in the
Village, as well as to persons working elsewhere in Town, due to the convenient access to
the Town's bus system.
As stated earlier, the staff is comfortable with the request for additional outdoor lighting.
The applicant is not requesting an exorbinant amount of lighting which may otherwise
adversely impact adjacent properties or result in undesirable side effects.
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Chapter 18.52.
An increase in GRFA and density will result in an increase in the parking requirement
associated with the property. Currently, the approved SDD allows for 2,000 square feet
of GRFA on the property. According to Chapter 18.52 of the Vail Municipal Code, the
parking requirement is two spaces. The existing garage currently provides two enclosed
parking spaces and the driveway design will accomodate a third exterior space on the west
side of the building. According to the property's underlying zoning of HDMF, 75% of the
required parking shall be enclosed within the main building. With this proposal, 66% of
the required parking will be enclosed. After exploring other alternatives, staff is
comfortable allowing one exterior parking space on the property in the area identified on
the site plan. Modifying the existing garage to accommodate a third enclosed parking
space will cause significant structural constraints. The building is designed with a
structural beam running north -south through the garage to a supporting column
constructed where the new garage door would need to be placed. The only way to
provide a third enclosed parking space would be to completely reconstruct the gararge. •
Allowing the applicant to pay -in -lieu of providing a parking space on -site does not
resolve the parking need generated by the employee unit. While it may be possible to
restrict any employee parking on the site, it creates an enforcement problem. In the staff s
opinion, we would be creating a regulation that is difficult to enforce since it is likely the
tenant will have a vehicle and need to park it somewhere and it does not address guest
parking.
This design criteria is not applicable with regard to the proposed outdoor lighting, and
therefore, need not be addressed.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town
policies and Urban Design Plans.
Goals for Vail Village are addressed in the Vail Village Master Plan. Staff has identified
the following goals, objectives and policies as being relevant to this Major SDD
Amendment request:
FAEVFAYONffEO&1EMOSSCORNICE.F12
Goal #1 Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique
architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of
community and identity.
1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential
and commercial facilities.
Goal #2 To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic
health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole.
2.6 Objective: Encourage the development of affordable housing units
through the efforts of the private sector.
2.6.1 Policy: Employee housing units may be required as part of
any new or redevelopment project requesting density
over that allowed by existing zoning.
2.6.2 Policy: Employee housing shall be developed with
appropriate restrictions so as to insure their
availibility and affordability to the local work force.
The staff continues to believe that the overall redevelopment of the Cornice Building
meets many of the goals, policies and objectives of the Town's adopted Master Plans.
• E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the Special Development District is propoesd.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards, nor is the property effected by the Gore
Creek 100-year floodplain.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
The site plan and building design of the existing building will be altered minimally with this
proposal. Staff does not believe that the changes proposed are significant enough to effect
this criteria.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and
off -site traffic circulation.
• Attached for reference is an on -site parking and circulation plan. The plan indicates the
location of the exterior parking space for the employee unit and the turning movements
required to get vehicles out of the garage spaces without needing to back out on to Vail
Valley Drive. This plan has been reviewed and approved by Greg Hall, the Town
RTVERY0MFEQ& MOS=RMCEFI2
Engineer.
It does not appear that the addition of an employee unit on the property will have any
negative impacts on the traffic flow on Vail Valley Drive. The driveway was originally
constructed far enough from the nearby intersection to insure adequate sight lines for
vehicles leaving the property.
H. . Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functions.
Given the scope of this proposal, staff believes there will be minimal, if any, impacts on the
above -referenced criteria. The applicant has agreed to mitigate any visual impacts of the
proposed exterior parking space by increasing the amount of landscaping along the west
side of the property. As with the original approval, 40% of the site will continue to be
maintained as landscaping.
Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of the Special Development
District.
The above -referenced criteria is not applicable to this application.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION .
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Major Amendment to Special Development District
432, the Cornice Building. We find that the applicant's proposal to construct a Type III employee
housing unit and increase density to 1.5 dwelling units in the Cornice Building, increase the Total
Allowable Gross Residential Floor Area on the property to 2,387 square feet from 2,000 square
feet, provide 66% of the on -site parking enclosed in the main building rather than the 75%
required by the underlying zoning, and be permitted to install twelve outdoor lights on the
property, are all in compliance with the Town of Vail Municipal Code in general, and specifically,
meets the goals and objectives of the Special Development District as described in this
memorandum.

RE; Cornice Building
Dear George:
Enclosed you will find a revised set of plans for the Cornice Building SDD amendment. The
following changes have been made:
1) Plaa ss havc bcon latx;lcd "1996 SDD A mndmtntAddition of E11U',
2) Notes have been added indicating three; red -twig dogwoods to be replaced by three mugo
(dogwoods to be relocated on site),
3) Exterior lighting is indicated on building elevations, and
4) The south elevation has been modified to reiltx t the fanc4tration indic;atex] on the niaur lave:]
boor {Ilan.
1 have; discussed the lighting issue with Jim and we have made the following changes:
1) One of the small decorative lamps mounted on the column at the train entry to the building
will be removed.
2) A small wall mounted lamp located at the man -door to the garage will be removed.
3) All other lights tD remain, these lights include:
• Four recessed safety lights located an the main exterior stairway,
• Three nx ssed safety lights located on the second level balcony.
• Two wall -mounted decorative lamps located on the west elevation.
• Two reccs d "cans" located in the soffit above the garage, and
• Clne.. %mall de nrasive. lamp mnunteA on the column at the main entry to the building.
The building will have a total of twelve exterior lights, however it is important :o note that
seven of these lights are recessed safety lights tha t ate. virtually unnoticxahie from off the
site:. There will now be only five s;urfacv mounted light fixtures, two of which are recessed
cans.
I hope this information is ac:.cxptable to you and the resat of the staff. Thanks for the opportunity to
resolve this issue via the SDD procem. PIcasc do not hesitate to call with any questions.

FR: Bob McLaurin + -j'

RE: Town Manager's Report
DT: March 15, 1996
1996 Community Survev
The 1996 Community Survey is scheduled to be mailed at the end of this month. This is the
eightth year we have surveyed residents, second homeowners and merchants. This questionnaire
is attached for your information. This is the third consecutive year we have used this format.
This format is used to identify satisfaction levels with various town services and departments. It
also asks "how are we doing?" with respect to the Town Staff, TOV Boards and the Town
Council.
The survey is used to help measure performance. As you will recall, each TOV department
V * identifies specific outcome measures in the town budget. This survey is one of the principle
tools we use to measure organizational and departmental performance. This year the survey will
also focus on community priorities with respect to various town services. We intend to use this
data as we work through our budget problems.
Please note this copy of the survey is still in draft form. We will be conducting several focus
groups on March 18 and 19 to help test the instrument. If you have comments or questions
regarding the instrument, please feel free to contact Suzanne at 479-2115. We would like to hear
your comments by. Tuesday evening in order to maintain our schedule. We intend to mail the
survey at the end of March, and have the data by the middle of May. This will provide us with
the results in time to assist in our internal budget work.
Ten Year Budget Update
As we discussed several weeks ago, flattening sales collections and increasing costs due to
inflation makes the Town's financial future somewhat uncertain. I indicated at that meeting we
would be working internally over the next four months to develop a strategic financial plan in
• order to deal with this problem.
Pursuant to the format discussed at the Kezziah Watkins, the attached documents show the
Statement of Problem and a list of Givens. I have also attached chart showing the process we
will use develop the strategic financial plan. As indicated in the chart, this work will conclude in
August when we prepare the 1997/98 budget document.

TOWN OF VAIL
TEN YEAR BUDGET
Statement of Problem
Although financially secure today, the Town's ability to maintain its future financial well being
is jeopardized by flattening revenues and growing expenses. Since 1994 sales tax collections, the
largest source of revenue used provide municipal services can capital improvements in Vail,
have been unable to keep pace with inflation. If these conditions are allowed to continue, the
Town will face a $7 million deficit in the year 2005. Our challenge is to decide how to make
adjustment now, in the form of reduced expenditures, service modifications, tighter budgeting,
increased revenues, or a combination of all, to avert financial hardship for this community's
future.. Anything less would be irresponsible.
Givens
• All decisions and recommendations will be made within the context of the Town of Vail
Organizational Values.
•8 The do nothing alternative is not acceptable. We will proactively address this situation.
❖ There will be no lay offs. There may be reductions in force, but these will occur through
attrition and turn over.
• Decisions about service provisions and service level modifications will be made with
extensive public involvement.
• There will be no across the board reductions. Each service, task and process will be
reviewed, analyzed and evaluated separately.

RE: 'Employee Housing Unit 5B at Innsbrook Meadows Subdivision
On May 17, 1994 the Innsbrook Meadows Subdivision received approval for a rezoning from
Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density Multi -Family Residential and a major
subdivision. The development consists of 14 buildings, 19 dwelling units, and the developer
agreed to provide four employee housing units in the project. (Ordinance No. 5, Series of 1994
attached)
An "Employee Housing Unit" (EHU) means a dwelling unit which shall not be leased or rented
for any period less than thirty consecutive days, and shall be rented only to tenants who are full
time employees in Eagle County. A "full time" employee shall mean a person who works a
minimum of an average of thirty hours per week. (18.04.105).
The EHU's at the Innsbrook Meadows Subdivision are Type III which are permitted in multiple
family and mixed use zone districts. They shall have a GRFA of not less than 450 sq. ft. and .
not more than 900.sq. ft. and no more than two bedrooms. No more than two persons for each
bedroom located therein shall reside in a Type III EHU. A Type III EHU may be rented or it may
be sold, transferred or conveyed, separately from other dwelling units or employee housing
units that may be located on the same lot. (18.57.060).
If sold the EHU must be used by the owner of the EHU as a permanent residence. A
permanent residence shall mean the home or place in which one's habitation is fixed and to
which one, whenever he or she is absent, has a present intention of returning after a departure
or absence therefrom, regardless of the duration of the absence. In determining what is a
permanent residence, the Town staff shall take the following circumstances relating to the
owner of the residence in account: business pursuits, employment, income sources, residence
for income or other tax purposes, age, marital status, residence of parents, spouse and children
if any, location of personal and real property, and motor vehicle registration. (18.57.060 B. 11.
a.).
L4 RECYCLED PAPER
If a Type III EHU is sold its tenant must be a full time employee who works in Eagle County. A
full time employee is one who works an average of a minimum of thirty hours each week.
(18.;57.060 B. 12. and 18.57,020 C.)
No later than February 1st of each year, the owner of a Type III Employee Housing Unit within
the town shall submit a report establishing that the employee housing unit is occupied by a
tenant who is a full time employee in Eagle County. (18,57.020 E.)
A copy of the Deed Restriction that pertains to the employee housing units at the Innsbrook
Meadows Subdivision is attached.
Thirty days prior to the transfer of a deed for a Type III EHU, the perspective purchaser shall
submit an application to the Community Development Department documenting that the
perspective purchaser meets the requirement of a tenant who is a full time employee in Eagle
County and that it will be used by the owner of the EHU as a permanent residence. (18,57,060
B. 13) The affidavit attached pertains to the Innsbrook Meadows Subdivision, Unit 5B being
discussed at this time.
