Town of Vail project planner, George Ruther, presented the item and explained the request in detail.

The staff recommendation was for approval of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 1997 on first reading. The proposal included 22 member -owned fractional fee club units with 27 lock -off units, plus 26 hotel rooms, an on - site manager's residence, and 4,440 square feet of new commercial retail space. In exchange for increased density on the site, the applicant (Sonnenalp Properties, Inc.) proposed six public benefits to meet the Special Development District criteria.

During a presentation by architect Gordon Pierce, representing the applicant, Sonnenalp Properties, Pierce recalled how the project has changed over time to adjust to community concerns. Those changes include: a reduction in fractional fee club units from 32 to 22; an increase in hotel rooms from 0 to 26; the addition of 27 lock - Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes March 25, 1997 off rooms; 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space reduced to 4,500; exclusion of a restaurant; redesigned entryway; addition of heated sidewalks; $100,000 for streambank improvements; careful attention to trash removal; change in roof elevation; and adjustment in the number of cars parked on -site. Pierce said the changes had been hammered out following 15 town board meetings, 35 meetings with town staff and numerous meetings with the neighborhood. He said he wanted the Council to understand his partners had been listening to the concerns and have responded appr lately. Yet, he said, he still senses that some members of the community are opposed to the project. With that ind, he presented a new rendering showing five building facades much like the scale of Bridge Street as an alternative design. Public input was heard, pro and con, was heard from the following community members: Pete Seibert, Amy Cassidy, Rick Rosen, Bob Lazier, Jan Strauch, Sue Dugan, Rob Levine, Mike Standard, and Joe Staufer, Tom Steinberg, Tony Hitelsen, Ginny Culp, Bill Wilto, Carol Allman, Charlie Langmaid, Ken Wilson, Flo Steinberg, Dan Tellen, Peter Rudy, and Jim Lamont. Discussion continued with comments from the following Council members: • Paul Johnston said although the project seemed extreme to him at first, he was ready to move forward to find a way to make the project work. He said if the town is indeed serious about increasing the number and quality of accommodation units, it would have to struggle and fight hard to get these new upscale projects "whenever and however we can." • Kevin Foley said he favored "tweaking" the project by scaling down the size and putting more emphasis on parking and delivery. Kevin also expressed concern about the lack of a restaurant in the facility. • Michael Jewett said he could support the project because it reflected his redevelopment election campaign platform, and asked that those who have called him to complain about the size of the building be more specific in suggesting how much smaller it should be to meet their satisfaction. • 4ybill Navas had mixed feelings about the project, and said she was concerned about setting a precedent for uture projects in Lionshead, the loss of sunshine in the area due to the height of the building, and streamside protections, among other concerns. She called it a good plan, but not the final plan. • Rob Ford said he liked the building's design but felt it was too big for the site. He criticized use of the SDD process saying it gives too much latitude to the staff and the PEC. He said he was troubled that the request exceeds all aspects of the underlying zone district and that the SDD tool had failed. Although he said he remains committed to redevelopment on the site, he didn't want to see "uncontrolled growth." • Ludwig Kurz said he couldn't support the proposal as presented without additional conditions similar to those carried in the motion for approval. Kurz also suggested the need for redevelopment incentives and wondered how the town might provide them. • Bob Armour advocated adjusting the project to meet the Council's satisfaction (rather than losing the project), and suggested taking a look at the lock -off units as a possible way to reduce the size of the building. Other issues mentioned by Council members included: • Reconsider the restriction on restaurant use in the building. • Increase the stream setback distance along the south side of the building to provide further protection of Gore Creek, • Explore removing several lock off units with the intent of reducing the overall square footage of the building. • �emove the clock tower from the building. • �fncrease the ratio of accommodation units to fractional fee units. A motion was made by Paul Johnston to approve Ordinance No. 4, Series of 1997 on first reading with the following conditions: • Require 16 additional parking spaces to be placed on -site (possibly on underground land leased from the Town of Vail) rather than paying into the parking pay -in -lieu fund. • Convert two streamside dwelling units to accommodation units. • Heat the bus lane in front of the building. Applicant will agree not to remonstrate against a streamwalk alongside the property if the town chooses to expand the streamwalk. • Create 11 new employee housing units rather than deed restrict 11 existing units. • Applicant returns to the Planning and Environmental Commission prior to second reading for consideration of a new ridge line design to reduce the height of the building. • Applicant presents a plan prior to second reading on guest circulation, and loading and delivery issues. Mike Jewett seconded the motion, and a vote was then taken which passed, 5-2, Mayor Armour and Rob Ford voting in opposition. Foison the agenda was Resolution No. 12, Series of 1997, a Resolution to Establish a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan for the Fire Fighters and Police Officers of the Town of Vail. Town Attorney, Tom Moorhead explained the item in detail. Paul moved to approve Resolution No. 12, Series of 1997, with a second from Ludwig. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes March 25, 1997 The Fifth item on the agenda was an update of the Ford Park Management Plan. Town of Vail staff members presenting the item included Larry Grafel, Pam Brandmeyer, Todd Oppenheimer, and George Ruher. The Council was asked to approve the final draft of the Ford Park Management Plan so that a resolution could be prepared for consideration at the April 1 evening meeting. Conts from the public included: Ross Davis of the Vail Recreation District Board of Directors requested that the wording of the parking policy be changed to require a public election for construction and financing of a parking structure. Mr. Davis also said he objected to a plan to relocate a tennis court at a cost to the public of $100,000. Hermann Staufer, also of the Vail Recreation District, and his brother Joe agreed with Davis, and asked that the parking policy either be eliminated completely or require a public vote. Councilmember Michael Jewett then asked if an initiative could be created similar to the charter amendment on open space that would preserve a public vote on the parking issue in perpetuity. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said he would need to research the matter. Councilmember Sybill Navas suggested removing the word "community" from community parking to help ease the concern. Following additional suggestions from community members Bart Cuomo, Ken Wilson, Sammye Meadows and Tom Steinberg, the Council agreed to continue working to modify wording of the parking policy to satisfy the future needs of the proposed Vail Alpine Gardens Educational Center and mitigate concerns raised by other community members. Also, at the request of Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association, a proposal to hold mon&g/assessment meetings for leaseholders and neighborhood representatives was added to the plan. The draft i be reviewed again at the April 1 work session in preparation for final approval at the evening meeting on April 1, 1997. Agenda item number six was the appointment of three Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) members. Paul moved to appoint Ann Bishop, Greg Moffet, and John Schofield to serve two year terms on the PEC, and Rob seconded the motion. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.

The proposals have been on display in the Municipal Building. Community reaction has been mixed, she said. Although the proposed designs are not absolute, Sweeney said the AIPP Board is hoping the proposals will serve as a catalyst to expand upon a particular idea or concept. In response, Councilman Paul Johnston called the proposals inappropriate, insensitive and a gross waste of money. He said he was ready to disband the council - appointed AIPP board. AIPP board chairperson Kathy Langenwalter countered by saying the nature of public art is very subjective. She urged Johnston and the other council members to submit their comments. Ron Riley, a Village property owner, said he worried the selection process will become dysfunctional because of such differences of opinion. Next steps in the process include a meeting this week by the selection jury and AIPP board with a recommendation presented to the Town Council on April 1. -Interviews for Board Appointments The Council interviewed four people for three positions on the Planning and Environmental Commission and interviewed eight people for two positions on the Design Review Board.

The subdivision is currently in the county's jurisdiction and is proving to be difficult for the county to provide the kind of urban services residents expect. Before any changes occur, McLaurin said the parties will first need to agree how to bring the roads up to standards. Other topics discussed by the elected officials included countywide distribution of taxes, regional cooperation, countywide marketing and/or business license fees, vendors fees for statewide marketing, Berry Creek Fifth filing, a countywide employee housing generation ordinance, and the county's dispatching plans.

A policy statement in the plan on parking has been modified to state: "Any future increase in parking use in Ford Park shall be affirmed through a public process, shall be publicly - owned for public use, shall be subsurface, and shall result in an increase in green space for public use." During discussion, Ross Davis of the Vail Recreation District, said he would prefer the plan require a "public vote" on the parking issue rather than a '.public process." Joe Staufer agreed, while Joe Macy of Vail Associates urged the (more) TOV Council Highlights/Add 2 Council to retain the policy as currently drafted so as not to preclude future options for the community. Please see evening meeting briefs for more information. --West Vail Interchange Bid information Public Works Director Larry Grafel shared the five bids for the West Vail roundabout project, The apparent low bidder is Duckels Construction of Steamboat Springs with a low bid of $5.25 million.

He says he's heard mixed reviews about the program.

Sybill Navas asked if the Council would want to support a state proposal to return vendors fees to the state to fund tourism. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead received the Council's permission to assist the Town of Telluride in a real estate transfer tax exemption issue. (more) TOV Council Highlights/Add 3 Evening Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas --Citizen Participation Bill Wilto of Vail suggested the town lobby Congress to enact legislation to address the issue of mining claims. Wilto said the current regulations, which have been in place for years, threaten communities like Vail. Next, Sue Dugan of Vail suggested the need for more animal control officers and possibly a tightened leash law due to problems with dogs running at large in her neighborhood. --Ordinance No. 6, Brooks SDD Major Amendment The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve a major amendment to a Special Development District (#29) located at 1502 Buffehr Creek Road. The applicants, Harold and Barbara Brooks, had asked to modify the existing SDD to convert two tracts of land into one lot. For more information, contact Lauren Waterton in the Community Development Department at 479-2454. --Ordinance No. 4, Austria Haus SDD After listening to more than two hours of testimony --pro and con --from 21 community members, the Council voted 5-2 (Ford and Armour against) to approve the proposed Austria Haus redevelopment on first reading with seven conditions proposed by Councilman Paul Johnston: • Require 16 parking spaces to be placed on -site (possibly on underground land leased from the Town of Vail) rather than paying into the parking pay -in -lieu fund. • Convert two streamside dwelling units to accommodation units. • Heat the bus lane in front of the building. • Applicant will agree not to remonstrate against a streamwalk alongside the property if the town chooses to expand the streamwalk. • Create 11 new employee housing units rather than deed restrict 11 existing units. • Applicant returns to the Planning and Environmental Commission prior to second reading for consideration of a new ridge line design to reduce the height of the building. • Applicant presents a plan prior to second reading on guest circulation, and loading and delivery issues. The Austria Haus Special Development District proposal includes 22 member -owned fractional fee club units with 27 lock -off units, plus 26 hotel rooms, an on -site manager's residence, and 4,440 square feet of new commercial retail space. In exchange for increased density on the site, the applicant (Sonnenalp Properties, Inc) has proposed six public benefits to meet the Special Development District criteria. Those benefits are: an increase in the annual occupancy of the Austria Haus by approximately four times; the addition of approximately 4,000 square feet of sales tax -generating retail space; implementation of the recommended streetscape master plan improvements to East Meadow Drive; completion of the commercial loop in the Village via the (more) TOV Council Highlights/Add 4 construction of a well -lit, heated pedestrian walkway; removal of 25 surface parking • spaces and the construction of an underground parking structure; and landscape improvements to Slifer Plaza, East Meadow Drive and the Gore Creek streambank. The Planning and Environmental Commission has voted (6-0-1) to recommend town council approval of the project. During discussion yesterday, community opinions were mixed. Here's a sample of those appearances: • Vail co-founder Pete Seibert, who urged the Council to support the project, noting that the project's size and architecture is in keeping with the character of Vail. • Former Councilmember Tom Steinberg, who asked the Council to take a firm position in reducing the size of the building, noting that developers always find a way to make it work, even when they say they can't. Steinberg said the town administration wrongly panicked over the flattening sales tax issue and has encouraged gross "over -development" of the Austria Haus to compensate for sagging revenues. • Ginny Culp, who had three objections to the project, including the use of an SDD. She said the Austria Haus SDD process is a way to "break all the rules" with little public benefit. She compared the Austria Haus SDD to the Vail Commons project, noting that the tradeoffs do little to serve the public good. • Former Councilmember Jan Strauch, who also runs a business adjacent to the property, who said the Austria Haus proposal is an appropriate use of an SDD. Because the Village is under attack by outside competition, Strauch said the community can no longer live in the past; it has to move forward with quality improvements. He said giving away free parking isn't the answer to the town's competition challenges. • Former Councilmember Bill Wilto, who said he was saddened by the proposal because it would block views of the mountain. He suggested a less obtrusive building. • Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association, who said the SDD would set a bad precedent in increasing the size of future projects. He proposed rezoning the Austria Haus site, plus the Mountain Haus and Vail Athletic Club parcels as a constructive solution. • Johannes Faessler, the applicant, who said projects like this are a must for Vail to maintain its position in the marketplace and to trigger other remodels. He said the town has not been successful at creating a climate for redevelopment and that it was unfair for the community to "chip away" at his project --just to make people feel better. Comments by Town Council members included: • Paul Johnston, who said although the project seemed extreme to him at first, he was ready to move forward to find a way to make the project work. He said if the town is indeed serious about increasing the number and quality of accommodation units, it would have to struggle and fight hard to get these new upscale projects "whenever and however we can." • Kevin Foley, who favored "tweaking" the project by scaling down the size and putting more emphasis on parking and delivery.

For more information, contact Tom Moorhead, town attorney, at 479-2107. --Ford Park Management Plan During an update on the latest draft of the Ford Park Management Plan, the Council heard public comment on a parking policy that has proved to be the most controversial element of the plan. As presented, the policy statement reads: "Any future increase in parking use in Ford Park shall be affirmed through a public process, shall be publicly - owned for public use, shall be subsurface, and shall result in an increase in green space for public use. " But during public comment last night, Ross Davis of the Vail Recreation District Board of Directors asked for the wording of the parking policy to be changed to require a public election for construction and financing of a parking structure. Davis also said he objected to a plan to relocate a tennis court at a cost to the public of $100,000, Hermann Staufer, also of the Vail Recreation District, and his brother Joe also asked that the parking policy either be eliminated completely or require (more) TOV Council Highlights/Add 6 • a public vote.
