MEMORANDUM
TO: TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: TOWN STAFF
RE: LAZIER PARKING VARIANCE
•
The Town staff wishes to disagree with the findings of the Plan-
ning Commission on the subject variance for the following reasons:
I. We feel that granting this type of variance weakens the entire
parking section of the zoning ordinance, and especially the
requirement for parking within the building. In our view
there is no legal justification for the variance.
2. The granting of the variance would be a grant of special
privilege in that the parking can be put within the building
and other buildings within the Commercial Core 2 district
have provided at least a portion (in most cases more than 50 %)
of the required parking beneath the building although they
were built before this was a zoning requirement (Vantage Point,
Lionshead Centre, Treetops, Sunbird Lodge, Montaneros I,
Westwinds and Landmark). In fact, the Village Center variance
was approved expressly for the purpose of removing surfact
parking from public view.
3. They also found that there was practical difficulty or un-
necessary physical hardship if the variance weren't
The only physical hardship that we can find is an economic
hardship which may not be considered in granting a variance.
4. The Planning Commission felt that a precedent had been set on
Lionsquare North variance for parking not within the building.
We feel that the circumstances are much different because the
subject spaces are not visible (earth covered) and are under -
gr ground. The variance also allowed the building to be of a
lower scale and preserved views.

FROM: J I M LAMONT
RE: LAZIER LIONSHEAD PROJECT - REQUEST FOR VARIANCE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 3, 1974
It is the view of the Community Development staff that the request
for variance by P,ober: T. Lazier for eight parking spaces required
to be within the building to be located adjacent to the existing
parking structure should not be granted based upon the applicant's
arguments for the following reasons:
I. Article 14 (Off- street parking and loading) - Section 14.100
of the zoning ordinance states "In certain districts (which
applies to this project) all or a portion of the parking spaces
prescribed by this article are required to be within the main
building in order to avoid or to minimize the adverse visual
impact of large concentrations of exposed parking and of
separate garage or carport structures ".
There can be little doubt that the existing condition of this
site obviously has an adverse visual impact. Further, in our
judgment, the proposed separate carport structure would not
lessen the adverse visual impact.
The argument has been advanced, though riot formally, that a
precedent was set with the approval of a similar variance
request for the LionSquare North project. It should be noted
that this variance was permitted to preserve views from the
Montaneros project by allowing the proposed building to be of
a lower profile. Secondly, extreme care was taken to require
that the enclosed parking was substantially underground and
not viewable from principal view corridors. Consequently,
the visual impact of this variance was of more benefit to the
surrounding neighborhood than if the variance had not been
permitted.
2. Article 14, Section 14.400 (Off- street and Joint Parking Facilities)
states that "authority to permit off -site or joint parking
facilities shall not extend to parking spaces required by this
ordinance to be located within the main building on the site
but may extent to parking spaces permitted to be unenclosed.
Clearly, the intent of the zoning ordinance demonstrates
that the Lazier proposal is not permitted. Further, given the
explicit language of this section, it concerns us that a vari-
ance granted in direct opposition to this provision would
seriously undermine the legal stability of the "Enclosed"
parking requirement, particularly in CC2.
It must be noted that a similar legal quagmire was created in
CCI using the same presentation technique that is being used
Page 2
September 3, 1974
E
for the LionsHead project. We feel it is essential - that the
Concil understand the fundamental nature of the project. Once
the underground or enclosed parking concept is compromised,
it opens up unlimited possibilities for other existing sites
to request variances. This would in essence allow existing
underground or covered parking to be converted to other uses.
Secondly, as was pointed out in - the CCI staff memo, there are
obvious visual 'benefits accruing to the community by removing
'the automobile for surface parking areas. Further, that under-
ground parking should be treated as a nor,- renewab!e resource- -
once gone, it is virtually impossible to replace. Surface
parking can more easily be adjusted according to demand and
surface asphalt can easily be turned into landscaped area
should the parking demand diminish.
3. Article 19 (Variance section 19.600 - Criteria and Findings) -
A copy of criteria and findings is attached. The Lazier project
does not, in our opinion, meet any of the findings set forth
in this section for the following reasons:
a. A variance can be granted only if there is an "unnecessary
physical hardship ". Counsel for the applicant has stated
to the staff that parking could be physically located within
the main building. It is obvious t ".at locating parking within
the main building would diminish the available commercial square
footage thus creating an economic hardship, which is not grounds
for a variance.
b. The applicant has not demonstrated any "exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
site ". The very Fact that he can physically locate the parking
within the main building and that he owns the site on which the
parking must occur and that grades, access points, aisle widths,
setbacks, etc. all meet zoning standards, point out that there are
not exceptional or unique circumstances.
C. At no time has the applicant demonstrated that not granting
this variance would deprive him of rights enjoyed by other
property owners in the same district. On the contrary, great
pains have been taken to insure that this area meets the pro-
vision of this ordinance. For example, LionSquare Lodge,
Antlers, Treetops, Vantage Point, LionsHead Centre, Sunbird
Lodge, Montaneros I, Westwinds and Landmark have provided at
least a portion (in most cases more than 50 %) of the required
parking beneath the building although they were built before
this was a requirement of zoning. In fact, the Village Centre
variance was approved expressly for the purpose of removing
surface parking from public view.
SUMMARY:
This project presents a particular dilemma in that:
I. The addition of a new building will in all likelyhood improve
the visual appearance of the area given proper design controls.
• Page 3
September 3, 1974
2. If a strong case cannot be presented by the developer that his
request for a variance from the enclosed parking requirement
is totally unique, then a potentially damaging precedent
could be established.
Therefore-, we suggest that the developer be required to present
his argument in terms of his project's complete uniqueness from
othe. projects in the same zone district. This must be done so that
a clear distinction is established so that other developers cannot
use this variance as a precedent. Failing to jchieve this distinction
we recommend that a completely enclosed garage be attached to the
proposed building on the west side. This would bring the project
into compliance with the zoning ordinance and allow for the necessary
commercial square footage to be constructed. A second alternative
would be to require that the parking be provided within the building
which is feasible, but would significantly reduce the commercial
square footage.
This project raises basic questions that, in our view, require a
detailed investigation by the Town Attorney. Caution should be
exercised to see that all legal requirements under the zoning ordinance
are strictly adhered to.

SUBJECT: Joint -use parking structure for "Lionshead Arcade,"
"Vail 21" and Lift House."
Dear Mr. Lazier:
Reference is made to the meeting on April 27, 1972 with Robert
Lazier, Chuck Rosenquist, Larry Robinson, Ed Struble and Robert
ott in attendance. The subject of the discussion was the time
tiv a ble required for construction to commence on the joint -use
parking structure for the three above mentioned buildings.
Robert Nott' represented the position of Vail Associates that in
accordance with those understandings set forth in the contracts
made with the building owners, construction of the structure
was to commence during the summer of 1972. Further, Nott stated
that Vail Associates would not support any variance application
on the part of Lazier and Rosenquist to defer construction of
this structure until a later building season.
To this date, the Town of Vail has not received an application
for a building permit or a complete set of structual plans and
calculations for approval in regard to this structure. Structured
parking must be provided for these buildings in order to comply
with the zoning and parking regulations set forth by the Town
of Vail.
Time is of the essence in the commencement and completion of the
construction of the joint -use parking structure as absolutely
no permit of occupancy will be issued for "Lionshead Arcade,"
"Vail 21," or "Lift House" until parking is supplied.
Please submit the required plans, specifications and calculations
as soon as possible to avoid further delays. If this office can
be of further assistance at any time regarding this matter, please
contact us.

Dear Diana:
t
This letter is for the purpose of reviewing matters dis-
cussed at a meeting on April 27, 1972 in which Robert Lazier,
Chuck Rosenquist, Larry Robinson, Ed Struble and myself were
in attendance.
The subject of the discussion was the time table required
for construction to commence on the joint -use parking structure
which is intended to accommodate the parking demands of build-
ings completed, under construction or scheduled to commence
this summer on portions of Block 1, Lot 3, Vail /LionsHead First
Filing. These buildings are known as "LionsHead Arcade Build-
ing", under the ownership of Bob Lazier; "Vail 21" building,
under the ownership of Charles Rosenquist; and "The Lift House"
building, under the ownership of Bob Lazier.
Robert H. Nott represented the position of Vail Associates
that in accordance with those understandings set forth in the
contracts made with the building owners, construction of the
joint -use parking structure was to be commenced during the
summer of 1972. Furthermore, Robert H. Nott stated that Vail
Associates would not support any variance application on the
