A Storm Water Discharge CDPHE Permit and all applicable ACOE permits (i.e. Dewatering) shall be submitted prior to construction. Applicant response: We shall comply.

The developer will be assessed traffic impact fee of $6,500 per peak hour additional trip generated, total additional trips generated will be determined once a traffic study is submitted and approved. Applicant response: If the Town of Vail truly wants employee housing and the replacement of soon-to-be-demolished professional office space, this fee should be waived in it’s entirety. Show snow storage area. Applicant response: We will continue to utilize the open area at the east end of the site and will provide a temporary snow storage area in the 4 guest parking spaces at the west end of the site. These will be noted on the grading plans. Parking structure will require a sand/oil structure. Applicant response: We shall comply. Show top and bottom of proposed and existing walls. Walls greater than 4’ in height (as measured from bottom of the footer to the top of wall), shall be designed and stamped by a registered professional engineer. All design parameters and assumptions shall be submitted with plans. Applicant response: We shall comply. Town Code allows for a maximum of 6’ high walls, the section provided for the exiting wall along the frontage road shows this to be 8’ in height Applicant response: Any new walls proposed shall comply with TOV standards. Show the turning movement for the proposed loading spots. Applicant response: The existing driveway requires all delivery, trash and fire vehicles to back up aal the way to the Frontage Road. The proposed design still requires these vehicles to back up but provides for a turn-around spur before reaching the Frontage Road. The Fire Department has agreed to this and the trash and delivery companies will find this to be less onerous than exists in many places through out the TOV. Tie in the proposed 3’ pan with the culvert crossing under the rec path, do not discharge this drainage across the surface of the walk and into the frontage road. Applicant response: We shall comply. Show the required landing of the proposed stairs on the west side of the property, with handrails. The handrails can not encroach in to the rec path and must be 2’ off the edge of the rec path.. Applicant response: We shall comply. Is the existing gravel path to the elementary school proposed to remain, be improved? Applicant response: This path is proposed to be removed and blocked as best possible to stop the flow of pedestrian traffic across the school property. Additional comments may follow as plans are developed.
