Presenter(s): Gregg Barrie, Town of Vail Senior Landscape Architect
Action Requested of Council: Continue the discussion on the use of EPAMDs in Vail and provide direction to staff
Background: See Staff Memorandum
Staff Recommendation: Vail provides visitors and guests with a variety of recreational opportunities.  It is important that those opportunities occur in an environment that is safe for all.  Staff would suggest that there may be ways to address the Council’s concerns in regards to the use of EPAMDs on Vail’s recreation trails and in pedestrian areas without a complete ban.    The staff recommendation is to set guidelines for EPAMD use that aim to address Council concerns.  Staff then recommends revisiting this issue in mid-summer to ensure those guidelines are successful and are being followed.  Similar to the electric assisted bicycle discussion, this can be revisited annually if needed. If, however, the Council determines that more restrictive regulations are in order at this time, staff has prepared a draft ordinance for approval or approval with modifications as directed.  The draft is included as Attachment A.
4.3.Resolution No. 5, Series of 2018, A Resolution of the Vail Town Council Approving an Amendment to the Development Agreement for Solar Vail.10 min.
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Community Development
Action Requested of Council: Approve, Approve with Modifications or Deny Resolution No. 5, Series of 2018
Background: On October 25, 2017 the Vail Town Council approved Resolution No. 35, Series of 2017, a resolution approving a development agreement between the Town of Vail, the Vail Local Housing Authority and Sonnenalp Properties, Inc (the "Parties").  Due to proposed changes to the method of construction of the new apartment building, the Parties mutually agree to amend the development agreement.  The amendments adjust the completion dates of various obligations of the Parties but do not change the overall scope of improvements or responsibilities of the Parties. 
Staff Recommendation: The Community Development Department recommends the Vail Town Council approves Resolution No. 5, Series of 2018, as read.
