Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Andy Daly. Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Kerry Donovan Ludwig Kurz Greg Moffet Margaret Rogers Susie Tjossem Members absent: Kevin Foley Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Jeff Layman introduced himself and said he is a Republican candidate running for Eagle County Commissioner. He said he would appreciate everyone's support in the November election. Interested parties can reach him via email at Jeff4EagleCounty()gmail.com or by phone at 970-376-7004. He will talk about any issues they think are important. Folks can also review the three candidate forums they have done so far on Channel 18. Mark Mueller said he has dealt with the fire matrix for 30 years and when it was initially produced, there was no sprinkling requirement. He explained how this challenging process evolved over the years. He said the final outcome is a good one for the town and he appreciates the legislation brought forward by the fire and building department. Jim Lamont, representing the Vail Homeowners Association, said he was told by people who lived in town that the bike race held on Sunday impacted their ability to get to their homes. He said this was not a good idea and wants this resolved in the future. Donovan said she heard a hotelier in Vail say how great the race was and it was a good time of year to bring it to Vail. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. On the consent agenda was the approval of Resolution No. 27, Series of 2012, the adoption of the Eagle County Pre -disaster Mitigation Plan Donovan asked about the list of hazards in the plan for Vail, if Vail was having to commit to doing the mitigation and spending lots of money now and but not be eligible for FEMA grants in the future. Kassmel said this plan was for FEMA and that Eagle County and Vail provide a list every five years to FEMA so they can try to gauge various disaster scenarios in Eagle County Town Council Meeting Minutes of October 2, 2012 Page 1 and other counties and to plan for possible circumstances. He said FEMA personnel review the reports to understand what various communities have done to be preventative and mitigate various situations in their area. Moffet moved to approve Resolution No. 27, and the motion was seconded by Rogers. Moffet made an amendment to the motion correcting the amount from $30,000 to $300,000 in the resolution and the motion was seconded by Rogers. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager Report. Stan Zemler stated the Vail Golf Course Clubhouse redevelopment application was submitted to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). The PEC is set to consider the application at their hearing on October 22, 2012, to get an initial reaction from PEC on conceptual designs and to see if they have significant concerns or issues and to get their feedback as this is not a final design submittal. Art Abplanalp representing adjacent property owners, asked if an application will be filed. Zemler said an application was filed with the PEC today, October 2, for an October 22nd PEC public meeting. Abplanalp asked if there were three applications or one application that included a zone district amendment, zoning text amendment and a conditional use. Mire said he believes the application covers all three. The PEC hearing on October 22nd is only for conceptual review. Daly said there is a letter from Glenn Hilliard in the agenda packet with a proposed alternative clubhouse plan. Zemler said work has started on economic impacts, liquor license issues, viability, operational and impact issues. Interviews with others that operate similar facilities will also be added to the operating plan. There will not be very much information in two weeks as this is not on a fast track. Staff will continue to report to Council as this project progresses. Mire confirmed with Greg Hall that an application has been filed with the PEC that includes the zone district amendment, zoning text amendment and a conditional use permit as well as a conceptual development plan. The fourth item on the agenda was First Reading of Ordinance No. 12, Series of 2012, an ordinance adopting the 2012 Building Codes with amendments. Martin Haeberle, Chief Building Official, said the Building and Fire Appeals Board (BFCAB) held public hearings monthly over the last nine months reviewing the changes from the adopted building codes and amendments to the 2012 Building Codes for the purpose of recommending the adoption of the 2012 Building Code by Council. The BFCAB has eliminated many of the amendments in the town's current building codes that are now within the body of the uniform building codes or out of date with current technology. The BFCAB has also added provisions that address construction practices that are unique to Vail. He said public input has been a key factor in these changes. Daly said extensive time was spent at the earlier work session to review this information. Town Council Meeting Minutes of October 2, 2012 Page 2 Rogers made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 12 and the motion was seconded by Kurz. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-1. Moffet opposed. Moffet said he believes the drafters of the building code have strayed into other areas they shouldn't. Rogers said if the public has questions to contact Mike Vaughan or Martin Haeberle. Vaughan said their contact information is on the town's website at www.vailgov.com. The fifth item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2012, an ordinance extending amendments to Chapter 11-7, Other Signs, Sign Regulations, Vail Town Code, to establish regulations for informational and directional signs for public parking on private property and allowing the administrator to approve said signs subject to review, to November 19, 2013, and setting forth details in regard thereto. George Ruther, Community Development Director, said Ordinance No. 11, Series of 2012, is intended to extend the effective date for temporary regulations allowing informational and directional signs for public parking on private property from November 19, 2012, until November 19, 2013. Extending the effective date of these regulations will allow the town to explore opportunities for incorporating these signs into a broader guest services enhancement program which includes signage and wayfinding enhancements. Moffet made a motion to approve second reading of Ordinance No. 11, and the motion was seconded by Rogers. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The sixth item on the agenda was adjournment. As there was no further business, Moffet made a motion to adjourn and the motion was seconded by Donovan.
