4 INTRODUCTION Idlewild Village will be a new, high quality community on the site of the former Idlewild Ski Area. The original Annexation and Zoning Plan was approved in Based on current information from potential Hotel developer/operators, certain amendments to that existing Approval to provide for additional Accommodation Units are needed to achieve a goal of having a full-service Hotel as part of the Village. Additionally, in an effort to minimize the amount of surface parking and to have less building development impact on the land, an increase in the allowable heights for some uses in some locations on the site are planned. Smaller building footprints can be achieved by utilizing more floors over structured parking. The increased allowable heights are also needed in part due to the Town s methodology for measuring height in relation to the very steep slopes on the site. It is anticipated that the resulting development will have minimal additional impact on neighboring sites than the current allowed heights due to the significant sloping topography on the site. No change to the number of allowed residential units is planned. The resulting Idlewild Village is envisioned to be a compact, pedestrian friendly and vibrant place for residents and guests alike. The following is a summary of proposed uses, character, and minor modifications to the current approved Annexation and Zoning Plan and exceptions to the Town Code. Existing Legal Description, Ownership, and Approvals Idlewild Village is described as the, a Portion of the SW ¼ SE ¼ of Section 28 and the NW ¼ NE ¼ Section 33 Township 1 South, Range 75 West, 6th P.M. Town of Winter Park, County of Grand, State of Colorado, also known as 398 Idlewild Road, Winter Park, CO See attached ALTA Survey for the full legal description. The present ownership is Idlewild LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company, whose address is10325 Bristleridge Court, Parker CO 80134, and Manager, A. Thomas Tenenbaum, and is under contract to be sold to WP Idlewild LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company whose address is 3000 Youngfield St. #364, Wheat Ridge Colorado Gale Schrag is the Manager of the WP Idlewild LLC who is applying for the changes to the Annexation and Zoning Plan that was approved by the Town of Winter Park on or about August 21, 2007 in the Annexation and Vested Rights Development Agreement Recorded Reception # dated 11/5/2007 and Ordinance No. 399 Recorded Reception # , dated 11/5/2007. Existing Conditions The site includes a steep, (approximately 20% slope) wooded slope south of the Rendezvous Subdivision and west of the Arrowhead Winter Park Property. The site becomes flatter at the south/southwest portion of the site where the former Idlewild Lodge and parking area was located closer to the Fraser River. An enhancement to Ski Idlewild Road is proposed to bisect the site to provide access to this site and to properties to the east. Another road, currently unnamed, but commonly referred to as River Road, south of this main road to provide access to southeast portion of the site and to properties to the south. A pond and wetlands are located in the southwest corner of the site. An access drive way to the Wheeler Family Trust property follows the westerly boundary of the site. The property has R-C Zoning with an approved Annexation and Zoning Plan which includes certain allowed uses and development standards. The Permitted Uses include SFD, SFA, MF, Accommodation Units, Non-Residential, and Open Space. A total Maximum DU is 319 units plus 70 Accommodation (Hotel) Units for a total of 389 Units. 4

5 Summary of Proposed Development Concept Idlewild Village is envisioned as a compact village of hotel and residential (condominium) uses clustered around a pedestrian plaza space adjacent to and on the north side of Ski Idlewild Road. This village will provide a critical mass of activity to enliven the area. Stepping up the hillside to the north and east will be a combination of multi-story condominium and townhouse residential uses. The intent is to maintain the currently approved 319 residential units. The final plan is not yet in place, but it may include approximately 269 multifamily (condominium) units and approximately 50 townhome units. The current plan also proposes to increase the number of accommodation units (hotel) as described below. Vehicular parking will be accommodated in under building or attached parking structures and garages to the maximum amount practical to minimize the amount of surface parking. This will provide for a much more pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing environment. Pedestrian and winter trails will be accommodated through the site. The architectural character will be consistent with the mountain vernacular common to Winter Park and will fit in well with its context. Proposed Amendments to the Approved Plan The first proposed change to the approved plan is for the increase of Accommodation Units/Hotel to 150 units. The existing approval is for 70 Accommodation Units. In order to bring in a full-service hotel to the Town of Winter Park, major Hotel Operators have indicated that a minimum of a unit structure should be the basis for their consideration. This full-service hotel would include restaurant(s), full kitchen, bar, conference facilities and service, and up to 20,000sf of retail. These commercial facilities would not only serve hotel guests but provide a premium amenity for the residents of the Village as well as those of the Town of Winter Park. The proposed parking strategy would focus on under building and underground parking that would also serve community retail, dining, and outdoor event plaza area public use as well as conference services. Lobby and accommodation units would be accessed at mid-level from higher grade. Overall height of the hotel is anticipated to be up to 6 occupiable floors above the parking level(s) of which 4 or 5 would include Accommodation Units. The second requested change to the approved plan is to increase the allowed height of the Hotel and selected locations for some of the Residential Units. The present Development Standards per the Annexation and Zoning Plan allows for all SFD, SFA, and MF to be 35 feet maximum height and the Accommodation Units (Hotel) to be 50 feet maximum height as measured utilizing the Town s definition of building height. In order to place as much of the several hundred parking spaces as possible below the buildings, and to keep the building footprints as small as is practical, it is necessary to accommodate some additional building height. Included in this Planned Development Guide is a site diagram that identifies Planning Areas that identify specific zones on the site where buildings of different heights would be allowed. The maximum allowed heights are further customized based on the type of use/building being considered. The heights in these Planning Areas have been carefully studied to take into consideration the potential impact on adjacent properties and the significant topography. In general, buildings that may be taller are congregated on lower portions of the site and where impacts on adjacent properties are minimal, 5

6 and a lower height limitation is proposed in locations closer to neighboring properties where impacts could occur. The methodology for measuring height will be in compliance with the Town Code. The approach to determining the needed additional height was based on a combination of anticipated building design and the existing topography. For a 150-room hotel, it is estimated that a minimum of four floors of hotel rooms over common space over parking is needed. The parking level(s) would need to be a minimum of 13 feet floor to floor and to the plaza level. Convention facilities would need to be a minimum of 13 feet floor to floor and the Accommodation Units would need to be a minimum of 11 feet floor to floor. To accommodate this amount of programmed space, the maximum height for the hotel zone should be changed to 80 feet to accommodate the occupiable floors and roofing system. All long-term parking should be able to be accommodated in under building parking, screened from view. For the multifamily (condominium) buildings, the intention is to place all resident parking under the building. To accommodate this, we are requesting a change to the MF height condominiums which includes up to two-levels of garage structure (at and below grade) which will be designed and built into the existing 20% average grade on this site to mitigate visual impact of parking on the development. Additionally, by going a bit taller, the building footprints can be smaller, having less building coverage on the land. The number of stories and height for the multifamily buildings will vary depending on the location of the site, as described in the Planning Area diagrams. These include a maximum height elevation of 43 feet towards the north end of the property allowing for a 2-story residential building over a under building parking (again taking into consideration the significant topography). This approach is aimed to preserve view corridors within the Rendezvous community to the north and have minimal impact beyond what the existing approval anticipates. Further south, we propose to increase the allowed height to 65 feet to allow 4-story residential buildings over two level parking facility (at and below grade). These areas are at a significantly lower elevation relative to the Rendezvous community and even taller buildings will be well below the adjacent community. The proposed development approach becomes an attractive landscaped village with pedestrian walkways with emphasis on landscape areas, rather than a sea of parking spaces and expansive roofs of large footprint buildings. The Townhomes will be generally two to three stories, with attached personal garages. In most cases the garages will be on the high side of the unit and the occupied portion of the unit steps down the hill. In some cases, there may be uphill units that have the parking tucked under on the lower level and the unit steps up the hill. Based on the existing topography and the compact nature of the homes, the townhomes need to have the height increased to 43 as measured in the town code to work. Again, in most cases, these units will sit well below the adjacent community and have minimal impact beyond what the existing approval anticipates. Additional Employees required for additional Accommodation Units The additional Accommodation Units (80) will increase the number of employees of the hotel. Mr. Russ Stark, Signature Hospitality Resources LLC, Founder/CEO, has estimated this as follows: Staffing for 80 additional rooms: HOUSKEEPING 80 rooms (assume 70% occupancy) average 56 rooms additional to clean/day 6

7 56 30 min/room = 28 housekeeping hours or 3.5 housekeeping- round up to 4 FRONT DESK Five additional shifts for peak check in check out = 1 clerk TOTAL 5 additional employees This topic will be resolved between the applicant s legal counsel and the Town Attorney in the Amendment to the Annexation Agreement. Anticipated Schedule Ski Idlewild Road, including the bridge, is planned to be completed by the end of the 2018 fall season. Some of the townhome construction may begin this fall. Design Guidelines for Idlewild Village will be completed, and the platting process can be processed once approval for the increase heights and Hotel units is completed. There will be a complete Master Plan showing the individual building sites including the hotel site which is the core of the Village as the final users are identified. 7

8 ARTICLE ONE: PERMITTED USES AND DEFINITIONS The Property is overlaid with five (5) Planning Areas with the intention of guiding specific kinds of development to specific locations on the site. The underlying Zoning for this Property is Residential-Commercial (R-C). The wide mix of uses allowed in this Zoning District was modified in the approved Annexation and Zoning Plan. That revised mix of uses is further documented in this Planned Development Guide to promote residential development on most of the Property and concentrate Accommodations, Retail, and other non-residential uses in a limited area near Ski Idlewild Road. The five (5) Planning Areas are specified as follows: Planning Area 1 PA1 Residential Planning Area 2 PA2 Residential and Selected Ground Floor Business Uses Planning Area 3 PA3 Accommodations, Business and Service, and Residential Planning Area 4 PA4 Residential Planning Area 5 PA5 - Wetland and Upland Area The specific details of each of the Planning Areas is contained in Article 2 of this document. The approved Annexation and Zoning Plan is modified per the table below. The primary difference is the increase in the number of Accommodation units: Annexation and Zoning Plan Permitted Uses Area Land Use Area In sf Max. DU/AC Max DU R-C Residential-Commercial 871, Accommodation Units 150 OS Open Space 9, ROW Right-of-Way 78, Total Area 958,773 Total Units 469 Note that Planning Area 5 (PA5) still carries the R-C Zoning Designation even though it is designated as a Wetland and Upland Area in this plan and will not be developed. 8

Accommodation Unit: Any room or group of rooms without cooking facilities designed for or adapted to occupancy by guests and accessible from common corridors, walks or balconies without passing through another accommodation unit or dwelling unit. The maximum allowable number of accommodation units in this Final Development Plan is sixty (60) units per acre. For purposes of this Final Development Plan, Accommodation Units shall also include hotel or motel units as defined by the Winter Park Town code. The Accommodation Units shall have a maximum number of 150 units, above and in addition to the permitted 319 Residential Units. 2. Condominium Hotel: Any room or group of rooms with cooking facilities designed for or adapted to occupancy by guests and accessible from common corridors, walks or balconies without passing through another room or unit. A Condominium Hotel will typically include amenities related to guest services, including (but not limited to) a concierge desk, lounge, spa, pool, recreation facilities, restaurant, and other on-site conveniences. The maximum number of Condominium Hotel Units in this Final Development Plan is twenty (20) units per acre. For purposes of this Final Development Plan, a Condominium Hotel Unit shall be considered as an Accommodation Unit as it related to the total number of permitted units for the development; provided, however, for each Condominium Hotel Unit applied for and permitted the total number of permitted Residential Units shall be reduced by one, or, at the developer s option, the permitted total number of initial Accommodation Units shall be reduced by three. For example, if a twenty unit Condominium Hotel is applied for and permitted, the permitted number of Residential Units would be simultaneously, and as a condition of approval of the Condominium Hotel application, decreased from 319 to 299. Alternatively, at the developer s discretion, the total number of Accommodation Units allowed would be reduced by 60, and the permitted number of Residential Units would remain at Single-Family Detached Unit (SFD): A detached building designed exclusively for occupancy by one family. 4. Single-Family Attached Unit (SFA); Duplex, triplex, or townhome units in one building designed for two (2) or more families living independently of each other.
