Tom Braun, part of the consulting team, reviewed four master plan concepts and draft Guiding
Principals. The team felt they had direction from council on a few elements of the master plan:
• The library could be expanded vertically with a second level and be a stand alone
building.
• The wrap on the Lionshead Parking Structure
• Lot 10 use as a community space.
Council agreed on the teams' direction for those elements. Council would like parameters in
the master plan concerning the green space in Lot 10.
Braun spoke to council about relocation of the South Frontage Road acknowledging council in a
prior meeting removed this idea from the plan. Braun showed council the connectivity of the
three areas of the master plan; improvement access for the hospital to the interstate; and what
to do with the municipal parcel.
A few of the councilmembers would like to see both concepts stay in the plan for now. Braun
stated the team would return to council with ideas for uses for that parcel for them to consider.
Dobson Ice arena had support from stakeholders to expand Dobson Ice Arena with uses for
concerts, second sheet of ice and a conventional rink size. The set up and take down time
would be a key factor in considering what events and uses are at Dobson.
Council would like Dobson Ice Area to stay as the "Ice Arena" and a multi -use facility next -door.
Council did question the type of uses both facilities could handle.
Braun provided the pros and cons for the multi -purpose event space on two locations:
• municipal site
• Charter Bus Lot
Council agreed the need for a multi -use facility and the economic purposes. The multi use
facility should be iconic and the Vail brand.
Public comment was called.
Beth Slifer, Vail resident and Chair of Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council, suggested
the Civic Area be the heart of the community - socially, culturally, recreationally, and
economically. She said it should be a crossroads for the intersection of guests and community.
Laurie Mullen, Vail resident and Friends of Dobson Ice Area, said a second sheet of ice was
imperative to meet the demand for ice programming.
Tom Saalfeld of the Vail Recreation Board says the VRD was here to listen and wanted to be
part of the solution.
Gwen Scalpello wanted the plan to address the need to preserve green space. She also didn't
think it would be appropriate to move the municipal operations to the charter bus lot.
Public comment was closed. Council thanked the public for their comments.
