Re: Fairmont Vail PEC Final Review Submittal
Dear David, TJ and Adam,
I am writing to provide a summary of comments from Town of Vail Departments as well as a summary of requirements for your PEC submittal for the November 10, 2008 meeting.
Building Department:
I clarified with Martin Haeberle, Chief Building Official, who confirmed that you will have to pick between the 2003 and the 2009 ICC. Martin is happy to discuss this further.
Public Works:
Provide a response to all comments provided by Tom Kassmel at our last meeting.
The loading and delivery bay will need to accommodate a WB50. Please depict this on the plans.
Be mindful of garage door height and grade changes at garage entry.
CDOT approval- Tom confirmed that a preliminary meeting where CDOT gives a conceptual approval of the Frontage Road grading and access will be sufficient prior to PEC final approval.
However, a condition of the PEC approval will be to get final approval from CDOT.
Fire Department:
Provide fire staging and egress on a separate site plan to clearly identify where staging and egress will occur and how fire trucks can be accommodated.
Need to provide access from fire command center to fire staging.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact Mike McGee as soon as possible.
Planning:
A conditional use permit application needs to be submitted. In anticipation of this application, the project was noticed to the public as a major exterior alteration, as well as a conditional
use permit for dwelling units, accommodation units, employee housing units, conference facilities and meeting rooms on the basement level, multi-family dwelling units on the first floor,
and an eating and drinking establishment on the second floor. If the conditional use permit includes any conditional uses other than those listed above, we will need to renotice the
item, and you will need to submit self-addressed stamped envelopes to send notice to adjacent property owners.
Please note the requirements for parking, with doubled parked/ valet spaces at a maximum of 50% of the required parking, and compact spaces at a maximum of 25% of parking. Also note
that enclosed parking spaces have a minimum size of 8 feet x 18 feet, while you are showing bigger spaces as part of your plan.
Ensure that all plans have clearly labeled items and no internal coding that will be unrecognizable by Town Staff (i.e. S1- is this stairs?)
PEC Submittal Requirements: In addition to addressing any applicable comments above, please submit the following items for review by Town Staff and the PEC by October 27, 2008.
Conditional Use Permit application, and SASE envelopes for adjacent properties, if applicable
Letter from TJ Brink confirming that no HOA approval is necessary, since he has the rights to development, and as such, approves the project
A written statement describing the proposal and how the proposal complies with the applicable adopted master plans and planning documents, including:
Employee Housing Analysis: Existing and proposed square footage of dwelling units and each individual commercial use
Parking analysis: Provide data on how the project complies with TOV parking requirements
Summary of zoning requirements and how the project meets these requirements. I have attached a zone check sheet that will help you in this summary.
Photo overlays and/or other graphic material to demonstrate the special relationship of the proposed development to adjacent properties, specifically VVMC, and to public spaces
Utility companies’ sign-off for the project
Four sets of full size plans and ten sets of 11x17 plans, including the following (for detailed requirements, see section 6 of this letter):
Stamped Topographic Survey
Existing and Proposed Site and Grading Plans including details on pedestrian an vehicular access, with a separate site plan showing fire staging and egress
Landscape Plan showing proposed landscaping (including trees to be removed), with hardscape and softscape color coded and labeled with square footage of each section. Note that landscape
areas must be 300 sq feet or more to count as part of landscaping. If there are any retaining walls, note the elevation at bottom and top of the walls. If any walls are greater than
3 ft tall (with a 6 foot max for all walls) the wall details need to be stamped by a Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer
Roof Height Plan showing ridge and peak elevations and natural or interpolated grade below ridges and peaks, as well as average height calculations
Roof Plan showing areas of flat roof shaded and percentage of flat and sloped roof noted on plans
Existing and Proposed Architectural Elevations including dimensions of sections of materials on the façade. Provide a color-coded copy of combustible materials for the Fire Department
Sun/shade analysis of the existing and proposed building for the spring/fall equinox and winter solstice at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm
Existing and Proposed Architectural Floor Plans including clearly labeled dwelling units, accommodation units, employee housing units, and individually labeled commercial space with
square footage for each individual unit or use
A 3D model of the project and adjacent buildings, to be submitted electronically
A physical model of the proposed development to include buildings and major site improvements on adjacent properties will be required at the PEC meeting.
