MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 28, 2010
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a variance from Section 11- 6 -3 -A, Business
Identification Signs, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 11 -10, Variances and
Appeals, Vail Town Code, to allow for a freestanding business identification sign,
located at 4695 Meadow Drive (Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse) /Unplatted, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100030)
Applicant: Alpine Tavern Inc., represented by Bill Stewart
Planner: Bill Gibson
SUMMARY
The applicant, Alpine Tavern Inc., represented by Bill Stewart, is requesting a sign
variance to allow for the installation of a freestanding business identification sign in
excess of 6 sq.ft. for the new restaurant located in the Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse at
4695 Meadow Drive.
Based upon Staffs review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends approval, with conditions, of the variance application subject to the
findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Alpine Tavern Inc., represented by Bill Stewart, is requesting a sign
variance to allow for an 9 sq. ft. freestanding business identification sign for the new
restaurant located in the Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse at 4695 Meadow Drive.
The applicant is proposing to replace the previous Bighorn Bistro's 9 sq.ft. freestanding
sign with a new sign for the now open Alpine Tavern restaurant. The applicant is
proposing to install a new sign the same size, shape, and configuration as the previous
restaurant's sign. The previous restaurant's sign was a 36" x 36" square and installed in
the existing freestanding sign bracket located in the landscaping median between the
Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse parking lot and Meadow Drive.
The Town's current sign regulations allow business identification signs to be no larger
than 6 sq. ft. in area and do not allow business identification signs to be freestanding.
Pursuant to Section 11 -9 -3, Nonconforming Signs, Vail Town Code, the former Bighorn
Bistro sign should be replaced with a sign conforming to these standards when the
business changes name and needs a new sign.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicants' request (Attachment B), and site
photographs (Attachment C) are attached for review.
BACKGROUND
The Vail Racquet Club obtained its original development rights under Eagle County
jurisdiction and was annexed into the Town of Vail in 1974. According to Eagle County
Assessor's records, the existing clubhouse building was constructed in 1977.
In 1999, the previous 9 sq.ft. Bighorn Bistro freestanding business identification sign was
installed with Town of Vail design review approval in the landscaping median between
the Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse parking lot and Meadow Drive.
In 2003, the Town of Vail adopted new sign regulations. The Vail Racquet Club, being
zoned Medium Density Multiple - Family District, was designated as part of Sign District 1.
Sign District 1 includes all properties except those zoned Arterial Business District
(Cascade Crossing) and Commercial Core 3 (West Vail commercial area). The
regulations of Sign District 1 were primarily drafted in context of the existing pedestrian
oriented businesses in Vail Village and Lionshead. The regulations of Sign District 2
were drafted in the context of the existing vehicular oriented businesses at Cascade
Crossing and West Vail.
The 2003 sign code amendments eliminated the previous sliding scale sign area limits
that were proportional to the physical length of a business's frontage and replaced the
sign area limits with a flat 6 sq. ft. maximum. The purpose of the 6 sq.ft. sign area limit
was to create consistency of scale for signage in Vail Village and Lionshead, to create
equity among businesses owners, to simplify the sign application review process, and to
simplify the enforcement of the sign regulations.
The 2003 sign code amendments also prohibited the installation of freestanding
business identification signs in Sign District 1. Building identification, joint directory,
subdivision entrance, and other sign categories are allowed to be freestanding type
signs.
The 2003 sign code amendments rendered the previous Bighorn Bistro's freestanding
business identification sign legally non - conforming (grandfathered) in regard to the
Town's sign regulations.
In 2010, the applicant opened a new restaurant in the former Bighorn Bistro space in the
Vail Racquet Club Clubhouse.

VI. SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Section 11 -10 -1,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
1. Special circumstances or conditions must exist that apply to the land,
buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on adjacent
lots or within the adjacent right of way, that would substantially restrict the
effectiveness of the sign in question. However, such circumstances must be
unique to the subject site.
Staff believes the proposed variance request is consistent with this criterion due to
several circumstances unique to the subject site.
Being zoned Medium Density Multiple Family District; the Vail Racquet Club is located in
Sign District 1. As further described in Section III of this memorandum, the Sign District
1 regulations were drafted in 2003 primarily in the context of the existing pedestrian
oriented businesses in Vail Village and Lionshead. The subject property is located in the
residential East Vail neighborhood. The subject property is not a pedestrian oriented
business like other Sign District 1 designated restaurants in the Vail Village and
Lionshead commercial core areas. The subject property is also not located in a
vehicular oriented commercial neighborhood like the Sign District 2 restaurants in
Cascade Crossing and West Vail.
The Vail Racquet Club was developed in the 1970's and the clubhouse has included a
restaurant use for many years. The previous restaurant at the Vail Racquet Club
clubhouse was the Bighorn Bistro. In 1999, the former Bighorn Bistro obtained Town of
Vail design review approval for a 9 sq.ft. freestanding sign located in the landscape
median between the clubhouse parking lot and Meadow Drive. As further described in
Section III of this memorandum, the Town's 2003 sign regulation amendments rendered
the previous restaurant's sign legally non - conforming. The applicant is proposing to
install a sign for the new Alpine Tavern restaurant that is the same size, shape, and
configuration as the previous restaurant's sign.
The current sign regulations allow the applicant to attach projecting, awning, and wall
type business identification signs to the restaurant's exterior walls. The current sign
regulations also allow the applicant to install signs in the windows of the restaurant. As
observed during a site visit to the subject property and as shown in the attached
photographs, the Alpine Tavern restaurant has limited visibility to pedestrian and
vehicular traffic along Meadow Drive due to the location and configuration of the existing
clubhouse building, the presence of mature trees in front of the building, and the
presence of the separate clubhouse entry structure.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Section 11 -10 -1,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
1. Special circumstances or conditions must exist that apply to the land,
buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures, or other matters on adjacent
lots or within the adjacent right of way, that would substantially restrict the
effectiveness of the sign in question. However, such circumstances must be
unique to the subject site.
Staff believes the proposed variance request is consistent with this criterion due to
several circumstances unique to the subject site.
Being zoned Medium Density Multiple Family District; the Vail Racquet Club is located in
Sign District 1. As further described in Section III of this memorandum, the Sign District
1 regulations were drafted in 2003 primarily in the context of the existing pedestrian
oriented businesses in Vail Village and Lionshead. The subject property is located in the
residential East Vail neighborhood. The subject property is not a pedestrian oriented
business like other Sign District 1 designated restaurants in the Vail Village and
Lionshead commercial core areas. The subject property is also not located in a
vehicular oriented commercial neighborhood like the Sign District 2 restaurants in
Cascade Crossing and West Vail.
The Vail Racquet Club was developed in the 1970's and the clubhouse has included a

clubhouse was the Bighorn Bistro. In 1999, the former Bighorn Bistro obtained Town of

the previous restaurant's sign legally non - conforming. The applicant is proposing to

regulations also allow the applicant to install signs in the windows of the restaurant. As
observed during a site visit to the subject property and as shown in the attached

presence of the separate clubhouse entry structure.

2. The applicant shall not have created the circumstances that have necessitated
the variance request.
Staff believes the proposed variance request is consistent with this criterion since the
location of the Vail Racquet Club development; the configuration of the existing club
house building and restaurant tenant space; the presence of the existing separate
clubhouse entry structure; the presence of existing mature vegetation; the size, shape,
and location of the previous restaurant sign; and the 2003 sign regulation amendments
are circumstances not created by the applicant.
3. The applicant must demonstrate that the granting of the variance will be in
general harmony with the purposes of this title.
Staff believes this variance request is consistent with the specific purposes of the Town's
sign regulations and the purpose of the business identification sign regulations, and
therefore meets this criterion.
Pursuant to Section 11- 1 -2 -B: Specific Purpose, Vail Town Code, purposes of the
Town's sign regulations are:
"1. To describe and enable the fair and consistent enforcement of signs in the
town of Vail.
2. To encourage the establishment of well designed, creative signs that enhance
the unique character of Vail's village atmosphere.
3. To preserve a successful and high quality business environment that is aided
by signs that identify, direct, and inform.
4. To aid in providing for the growth of an orderly, safe, beautiful, and viable
community."
Pursuant to Section 11 -6 -1, Purpose and Description, Vail Town Code, the purpose of
the Town's business identification signs is as follows:
"Business and building identification signs are meant to identify and inform
through the display of the business and/or building name and any graphic
symbols or language pertinent to the advertised enterprise."

The Alpine Tavern
4695 Racquet Club Drive
SUBJECT: Variance Request —Sign Regulations
Dear Sirs:
We are the owners of Alpine Tavern and Wendy's Alpine Coffee shop, located in the Vail Racquet Club.
Our variance request is that a new sign, no larger than 9 square feet (3' x 3', the size of the previously
approved sign) be allowed as a replacement of the previous sign. The existing mounting posts will be
utilized. Also, we wish to replace the small sign at the foot of the stairs to our restaurant. Please see
attached photos.
Our request is based on several factors:
1) Special circumstances exist in that there is no possibility of attaching signs to our building
without environmental damage (removing several large pine trees and large shrubs) or
degrading the appearance of the archway and walkway into the Vail Racquet Club. In addition,
signage on the building is not easily seen from the road.
2) Roadside signage is critical in allowing guests to easily locate us within the Vail Racquet Club.
3) We have not created the special circumstances above and do not wish to degrade the
appearance and beautiful architecture of the club or the surrounding neighborhood.
4) The Alpine Tavern and Wendy's Alpine Coffee shop are highly valuable amenities within the Vail
Racquet Club and are a major addition to the quality of life for members and the East Vail
neighborhood in general. The proposed signs are in harmony with the existing signage of the
Vail Racquet Club and the neighborhood. This sicnaee is in harmonv with the intent of the sien
5) We are new small businesses in Vail, creating new jobs in the community and providing tax
revenues to the Town of Vail. Visible signage at the roadside is critical to our success in
attracting guests to our business.
We ask that you approve the proposed variance request.
Thank you,

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 12010
TO: Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Ulrich Peter Haller
William E Stewart
Tana E Stewart
Wendy M. Stewart
The Alpine Tavern
4695 Racquet Club Drive
SUBJECT: Variance Request —Sign Regulations
Dear Sirs:
We are the owners of Alpine Tavern and Wendy's Alpine Coffee shop, located in the Vail Racquet Club.
Our variance request is that a new sign, no larger than 6 square feet be allowed as a replacement of the
previous sign. The existing mounting posts will be utilized. The new sign will be smaller than the original.
Also, we wish to replace the small sign at the foot of the stairs to our restaurant. Please see attached
photos.
Our request is based on several factors:
1) Special circumstances exist in that there is no possibility of attaching signs to our building
without environmental damage (removing several large pine trees and large shrubs) or
degrading the appearance of the archway and walkway into the Vail Racquet Club. In addition,
signage on the building is not easily seen from the road.
2) Roadside signage is critical in allowing guests to easily locate us within the Vail Racquet Club.
3) We have not created the special circumstances above and do not wish to degrade the
appearance and beautiful architecture of the club or the surrounding neighborhood.
4) The Alpine Tavern and Wendy's Alpine Coffee shop are highly valuable amenities within the Vail
Racquet Club and are a major addition to the quality of life for members and the East Vail
neighborhood in general. The proposed signs are in harmony with the existing signage of the
Vail Racquet Club and the neighborhood. This signage is in harmony with the intent of the sign
regulations of the Town of Vail.
. 1 . ,.
5) We are new small businesses in Vail, creating new jobs in the community and providing tax
revenues to the Town of Vail. Visible signage at the roadside is critical to our success in
attracting guests to our business.
We ask that you approve the proposed variance request.
Thank you,
r
