Medical Center development will be the principal guide for design matters
and will set the design theme, palette of materials and level of quality of
construction to follow.
3. Design Materials - The design of Phase One will conform to a rural
western motif. Specifically, the buildings will reflect those features of
smaller scaled commercial and residential structures that are common to a
rural setting in the western states. Building floor areas are planned to
reduce the mass of the buildings by breaking up the spaces into smaller
pieces that give the building interest and human scale. Breaking the
building facade into shorter lengths will help in reducing the overall mass of
the buildings, particularly with the larger Building B. Thus, excessive
building height and length are avoided and horizontal lines are emphasized.
Roof lines gently slope and turn to enclose a larger ground floor area and
to create a porch -like entry canopy. Individual window openings are
vertically proportioned and grouped to recall original western buildings of
business and residential use. Construction detailing is simple and strong.
The exterior of the buildings will have rough -sawn wood or similar
materials on the lower portions and stucco at the upper walls of the inset
windows and gables. Natural stone may be used as accent material. The
windows will be trimmed in either wood or stucco and the lintels of the
14
EDWARDS MEDICAL CENTER
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
(Revised November 1999)
windows will be emphasized. The windows will be made of metal and will
be selected to allow for natural ventilation. Wood columns will. support the
entry porch and canopy. The heavy timber wood truss system of the
canopy will be reflected in the railings between the support columns. The
roofing material will be a rough - textured fiberglass shingle.
Overall, the buildings will be a reflection of the natural materials and
rugged landscape that is their inspiration. Shade and shadow will in large
part define the forms of these earthtone structures along with the
opportunity for the subtle use of color in selected details.
4. Explanation of Building Height
a. Maximum height measured to peak of roof ridgeline.
b. Architectural or mechanical features which are located at least 25
feet from any building edge may exceed the height limit by a
maximum of 10 feet. Chimneys which serve operable fireplaces on
the Employee Housing Units may be placed in a building perimeter
and must not extend more than 10 feet above the roof ridge. _
5. Specific Design Controls
a. Buildings A, B; and C
i) All sides will be finished in a manner similar to and
consistent with the principal front.
ii) _ Exterior materials and textures will be varied to be both
consistent with the design theme and to eliminate uniform
planer facades. _
iii) At least 20% of the surface of any facade will be either
recessed or projected outward a minimum of 2 feet.
b. Buildings facing Beard Creek Road
i) Shift vertical or horizontal alignment of walls. Structures
15
EDWARDS MEDICAL CENTER
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
(Revised November 1999) -
greater than 120 feet in length will provide a. shift in wall
alignment so that no greater than 75% of the building facade
appears unbroken. Each shift shall be either a 5 foot change
in building facade alignment or 5 foot change in roof line
height or a combination change in wall alignment and roof
line totaling 5 feet.
ii) Structures exceeding 160 feet in length will provide a shift
at least every 120 feet, which will be a 15 foot facade and/or
roof line shift.
If within any given 160 foot horizontal section, the exterior
wall contains windows or variations such as entrances,
cantilever, structural, or architectural protrusions or other
sirni ar changes of a minimum of 3 feet, no changes in
direction will be required.
C. Glass Elements
i) The use of highly reflective (i.e., mirrored) glass will be
limited to 10% of the building surface and used only for
special detailing effect.
ii) Place, size and shape of openings will be consistent with
other design elements. Exterior doors on public frontages
will be consistent with other facade elements in design
character and materials.
iii) Entries will be emphasized by using signs, awnings, changes
. . in pavement materials, landscaping, and/or recesses.
d. Roof Treatment
i) Visibility of roof mounted equipment will be minimized.
ii) Roof mounted equipment will be screened with parapets or
architectural details.

(Revised November 1999)
iii) Equipment located on the roof will be consolidated to
reduce clutter.
iv) Roof mounted equipment will be painted with a color
compatible with other roof materials or structures.

Residency and Employee Status Verifications:
a. Priority for the employee housing space at the Edwards Medical Center will be
given to employees of the Edwards Medical Center ( "Health Center "), the Vai?
Valley Medical Center ( "Hospital'), the Beaver Creek Village Medical Center
( "Clinic "), and tenants of any of these facilities. The hospital housing
coordinator or administrator will be responsible for verification of the status of
a particular employee for the available employee housing. With proper
verification from the hospital, the subject employee shall be deemed eligible foi
the Health Center housing. No further processing or administrative action shat
be necessary so long as said employee remains employed in good standing at
one of the facilities noted above.
b. During the first thirty (30) days that a unit is available for rent or lease, it shall
be made available only to qualified employees of the Health Center, Hospital,
Clinic, and their tenants.
C. If the available unit is not rented or leased within the first thirty (30) days to a
qualified employee of the Health Center, Hospital, Clinic, or their tenants, the
Owner may rent or lease the unit to any other qualified employee of a company
conducting business in Eagle County.
d. Prior to renting or leasing an employee housing space in the Edwards Medical
Center project to anyone other than an employee of the Health Center,
Hospital, Clinic, or their tenants, the housing applicant shall be required to
submit to Eagle County a Qualification Package together with the applicable
processing fee established by the County. The Owner reserves the right to
18
EDWARDS MEDICAL CENTER
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
(Revised November 1999)
receive and review Qualification Packages before they are submitted to Eagle
County, provided that any decision on qualification is not binding on Eagle
County.
The Eagle County Housing Director shall provide a written response to the
Qualification Package submittal within seven (7) business days of the receipt
thereof. If the County fails to respond to the submittal within this period of
time, the applicant's submittal shall be deemed approved.
e. The term of a lease for all lessees shall be for a period of not more than twelve
(12) consecutive months.
f. The lease term shall end upon the earlier of
i) the lease termination date;
ii) thirty (30) days after the lessee ceases to be a qualified employee;
unless the employee is terminated for cause, in which case the lease wil
terminate within 24 hours.
iii) failure of lessee to comply with the terms of the lease, including rent
payment default after proper notification and expiration of period to
cure.
g. If at the end of the term of a lease the lessee is still a qualified employee, the
Owner may enter into a new lease or renew the old lease without relisting the
Unit.
h. In no case shall the rental deposit exceed twice the monthly rental rate, and in
no case shall the Owner require that the rent for more than one month be paid
in advance.
T. Phasing Plan
The entire project is being planned at this time as a single, unified entity to insure the
continuity of the design and architecture for all phases. The project is anticipated to be
implemented over a twenty (20) year period in six (6) phases. This phasing will allow the
most immediate needs to be completed at the initial stage and the remaining needs to be
constructed as requirements become more critical and the funds are available. The projected
phasing and construction schedule is estimated as follows:
