Bill,
Per the conditions of approval dated 1/14/2008(attached), we are proposing the following to address Condition
CON0009718—"Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant must obtain final Town of Vail Public
Works Department approval of a Traffic Engineered access control system for the access ramp."
We are employing a traffic engineering consultant to provide design concept sketches for the vehicle access
control system. This system will provide two-directional operations on the single-lane proposed car ramp to allow
ingress and egress from both levels of the parking garage. The concept sketches will provide locations of signal
heads, vehicle detection loops, pavement markings and signing directly applicable to the operations of the ramp
access control signals.
We intend to attach the engineer's report and sketches with our response letter, as well as incorporate their
design elements into the drawings also being resubmitted for permit.
If possible, could you please give us early indication as to whether you believe this will sufficiently respond to the
condition of approval listed above?
Regards,
Ed Curley LEED AP �

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 14, 2008
SUBJECT: A request for a final review of variances from Section 12-7H-10, Setbacks, and
Section 12-7H-14, Site Coverage, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Chapter 12-17,
Variances, to allow for a stair and an underground parking garage vehicle ramp
within the setbacks, and deviations from the maximum site coverage
requirements, located at 610 West Lionshead Circle/Lot 1, Block 1, Vail
Lionshead Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard there to. (PEC07-0077)
Applicant: Landmark Condominium Association, represented by Fritzlen
Pierce Architects
Planner: Bill Gibson
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Landmark Condominium Association, is requesting a final review of
variances from Section 12-7H-10, Setbacks, Section 12-7H-14, Site Coverage, and
Section 14-3-1-Table 1, Driveway/Feeder Road Standards, Vail Town Code, pursuant to
Chapter 12-17, Variances, to allow for a below grade parking structure ramp (with
associated emergency pedestrian stair) within the setbacks; deviations from the
maximum site coverage allowances; and deviations from the minimum driveway widths,
located at 610 West Lionshead Circle/Lot 1, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 3, and setting
forth details in regard there to.
Based upon Staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission approves, with conditions,
the applicant's variance requests, subject to the findings noted in Section VIII of this
memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Landmark building is located at 610 West Lionshead Circle. The Landmark is
located within the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan area and within the Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 Zone District.
The applicant is proposing to amend their previously approved development plan by
eliminating a not yet constructed vehicle elevator from the interior of the Landmark's
parking structure. The approved elevator was intended to provide vehicle access
between the Landmark's existing street level parking garage and the future below grade
parking structure to be located under the existing Landmark/Concert Hall Plaza
alleyway. The applicant is proposing to replace the approved vehicle elevator with a
more traditional vehicle ramp that will be located below grade on the west side of the
existing Landmark Building adjacent to West Lionshead Circle.

� . ��
� ��� +�-'� „
� r
!
The Planning and Environmental Commission previously approved setback and site
coverage variances to allow the Landmark to construct the future underground parking
structure within four feet of the west property boundary. The applicant is requesting a
new setback and site coverage variance to facilitate the proposed access ramp. The
ramp will encroach in the setback area to the west property boundary for a proposed
zero (0) setback and the proposed ramp will increase the Landmark's site coverage by
an additional 715 sq. ft. (the approved underground parking structure received a 9,871
sq.ft. site coverage variance).
The minimal distance between the existing Landmark Building and the West Lionshead
Circle Right-of-Way can not accommodate a 22 ft. minimum width, two-lane access
ramp to connect the existing and future parking structures as required by Sub-section
14-3-1-Table 1, Driveway/Feeder Road Standards, Vail Town Code. The applicant, in
consultation with their design engineers and the Town of Vail Public Works Department,
is proposing to construct a 12 ft. wide, one-lane ramp. The applicant is proposing an
internal traffic control signal system to manage the two-way flow of traffic through this
one-lane ramp. Similar vehicle ramps have recently been approved for the Cascade
Residences at 1310 Westhaven Drive and by Special Development District for the
Willows at 74 Willow Road.
The applicant has designed the proposed ramp to create no net change in landscape
area and no net change in the number of proposed parking spaces. -
A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant's project summary (Attachment B), the
applicable previously approved architectural plans (Attachment C), and the proposed
architectural plans (Attachment D) have all been attached for reference.
III. BACKGROUND
The Landmark site was annexed into the Town of Vail in August of 1969. According to
Eagle County records, the existing Landmark was originally constructed in 1973. The
property was originally zoned Commercial Core 2 District and was rezoned to Lionshead
Mixed Use 1 District in 1999.
At its March 26, 2007, public hearing the Planning and Environmental Commission
approved a setback variance, a site coverage variance, and a major exterior alteration
request for the redevelopment of the residential portions of the existing Landmark
Building. These approvals allowed, in part, for the construction of a new below grade
parking structure located under the existing Landmark/Concert Hall Plaza alleyway.
These approvals allowed for the connection of the existing street level parking structure
and the future below grade parking structure via a single-vehicle elevator.
The associated design review applications, and subsequent revisions, have been
approved by the Town of Vait Design Review Board.

12-7H-1: PURPOSE:
The Lionshead Mixed Use-1 zone district is intended to provide sites for a mixture
of multip/e-family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractiona!fee clubs, time shares, lodge
dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, and commercial establishments
in a clustered, unified development. Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zone district, in
accordance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, is intended to
ensure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the
permitted types of buildings and uses and to maintain the desirable qualities of the
Disfrict by establishing appropriate site development standards. This District is
meant to encourage and provide incentives for redevelopment in accordance with
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
This Zone District was specifically developed to provide incentives for properties
to redevelop. The ultimate goal of these incentives is to create an economically
vibrant lodging, housing, and commercial core area. The incentives in this Zone
District include increases in allowable gross residential floor area, building height,
and density over the previously established zoning in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan study area. The primary goal of the incentives is to
create economic conditions favorable to inducing private redevelopment
consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Additiona/ly, the
incentives are created to help finance public off-site improvements adjacent to
redevelopment projects. With any developmenbredevelopment proposal taking
advantage of the incentives created herein, the following amenities will be
evaluated.� streetscape improvements, pedestrian/bicycle access, pub/ic plaza
redevelopment, public art, roadway improvements, and similar improvements.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Chapter 12-17,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
Setback Variance
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
The existing Landmark building was originally constructed in 1973 and the
existing parking structure encroaches into the required 10 foot north setback.
Other portions of the building currently conform to the setback requirements;
however, as noted in Section 5.10.1 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master
Plan, the location and configuration of the existing building does place
constraints on the redevelopment opportunities of the Landmark.
To accommodate the construction of a new underground parking structure ramp
the applicant is requesting deviations to the required ten foot west setback
requirements. Section 12-7H-16, Parking and Loading, Vail Town Code, requires
that "af least one-half the required parking shal! be located with the main
building" for sites such as the Landmark in the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone
District. Additionally, Section 4.8.d of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
recommends that "Parking should be visually inconspicuous. Parking should be
structured below ground whenever possible". To meet the parking requirements
of the Town's zoning regulations and the goals of the Town's master plans; the
applicant is proposing to reduce the amount of existing surface parking at the
Landmark and construct the majority of the new parking below grade. The
applicant proposes to construct this new below grade parking structure
immediately adjacent to the existing Landmark building. To conform with the
Town's dimensional standards for parking spaces, drive lanes, turning radii, etc.,
the applicant is proposing that the parking structure encroaches four feet into the
southern ten foot setback and six feet into the western ten foot setback. Staff
does not believe the proposed additional below grade encroachment for the
vehicle ramp will negatively affect other potential uses and structures in the
vicinity.
6
. �
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility
and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the
objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
The Planning and Environmental Commission has consistently held that existing
lot and building configurations may be a hardship to justify the granting of a
variance from the Town's current Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zoning regulations.
Approval of the proposed setback variance will allow the applicant to construct a
below grade parking structure in conformance with the intent and goals of both
the Town's zoning regulations and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
Staff believes the applicant is requesting relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of the setback regulations necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniform treatment of site in the vicinity, and does not view the
approval of this request as grant of special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities,
and public safety.
Staff believes the applicanYs proposal to replace the future vehicle elevator with
a ramp will be a more convenient, more user friendly, and more reliable system
of connecting the Landmark's parking structures. Staff also believes the
proposed ramp will provide better emergency access to the structure than the
approved vehicle elevator.
Since the proposed ramp will be located below grade and not within the West
Lionshead Circ�e Right-of-Way, Staff does not believe the requested variance will
have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
and traffic utilities, public facilities and utilities, or public safety in comparison to
existing conditions.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to
the proposed variance.
At its March 26, 2007, public hearing the Planning and Environmental
Commission approved similar setback and site coverage variances to facilitate
the redevelopment of the existing Landmark Building.
Site Coveraqe Variance
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
The existing Landmark building was originally constructed in 1973 and as noted
in Section 5.10.1 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, the location and
configuration of the existing building does place constraints on the
redevelopment opportunities of the Landmark. The existing Landmark building
conforms to the site coverage requirements of the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone
District.
7
I
i .

The applicanYs approved construction of a new entry lobby, elevator tower, and
egress stair also complies with the site coverage limits prescribed by the Town's
zoning regulations. The applicant also received approval of a variance to allow
for the construction of a new below grade parking structure that causes the
Landmark to exceed the maximum site coverage limit of 45,587 sq. ft. (70% of lot
area) by 9,870 sq. ft. (85% of lot area).
The applicant is now proposing to replace the approved interior vehicle elevator
with a more traditional access ramp. The proposed ramp will be located below
grade, but will increase the site coverage of the Landmark building by an
additional 715 sq. ft. Since the proposed ramp will be located below grade,
covered with landscaping, and will not encroach into the Town's street right-of-
way; Staff does not believe this proposal will have a significant negative impact
on adjacent uses or structures in the vicinity.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility
and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the
objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
The Planning and Environmental Commission has in the past held that existing
lot and building configurations may be a hardship to justify the granting of a
variance from the Town's current Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zoning regulations.
Approval of the proposed site coverage variance will allow the applicant to
construct a below grade parking structure in conformance with the intent and
goals of both the Town's zoning regulations and the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan.
Staff believes the applicant is requesting relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of the setback regulations necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniform treatment of site in the vicinity, and does not view the
approval of this request as grant of special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities,
and public safety.
Staff believes the applicanYs proposal to replace the future vehicle elevator with
a ramp will be a more convenient, more user friendly, and more reliable system
of connecting the Landmark's parking structures. Staff also believes the
proposed ramp will provide better emergency access to the structure than the
approved vehicle elevator.
Since the proposed ramp will be located below grade and not within the West
Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way, Staff does not believe that the requested
variance will have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic utilities, public facilities and utilities, or public safety in
comparison to existing conditions.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to
the proposed variance.
8
At its March 26, 2007, public hearing the Planning and Environmental
Commission approved similar setback and site coverage variances to facilitate
the redevelopment of the existing Landmark Building.
Drivewav Width Variance
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
Since the proposed ramp wil� be located below grade and not within the West
Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way, Staff does not believe that the requested
variance will have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic utilities, public facilities and utilities, or public safety in
comparison to existing conditions.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility
and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the
objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
The Planning and Environmental Commission has in the past held that existing
lot and building configurations may be a hardship to justify the granting of a
variance from the Town's current Lionshead Mixed Use 1 zoning regulations.
Approval of the proposed driveway width variance will allow the applicant to
construct a below grade parking structure in conformance with the intent and
goals of both the Town's zoning regulations and the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan.
Staff believes the applicant is requesting relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of the setback regulations necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniform treatment of site in the vicinity. Since similar vehicle
ramps have recently been approved for the Cascade Residences at 1310
Westhaven Drive and the Willows at 74 Willow Road, Staff does not view the
approval of this request as grant of special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities,
and public safety.
Staff believes the applicanYs proposal to replace the future vehicle elevator with
a ramp will be a more convenient, more user friendly, and more reliable system
of connecting the Landmark's parking structures. Staff also believes the
proposed ramp will provide better emergency access to the structure than the
approved vehicle elevator.
Since the proposed ramp will be located below grade and not within the West
Lionshead Circle Right-of-Way, Staff does not believe that the requested
variance will have a negative effect on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic utilities, public facilities and utilities, or public safety in
comparison to existing conditions.

the proposed variance.

APPLICATIION FOR VARIANCE
LANDMARK CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
' LOT 1, BLOCK 1,VAIL LIONSHEAD 3RD FILING
VARIANCES FOR PARTIAL SOUTH SETBACK, LANDSCAPE AREA, AND SITE COVERAGE (IF
REQUIRED, PENDING OUTCOME OF APPEAL)
NATURE OF THE VARIANCES:
WEST SETBACK
The Applicant proposes to encroach into the west setback, to a limited extent, as indicated on the
plans,to permit construction of a required exit stair and an underground ramp to access the proposed
parking garage. The area proposed for encroachment is adjacent to the existing building to the west.
It will extend out to the limit of the existing Landmark property line. This request conflicts with Section
12-7H-10.
SITE COVERAGE
The Applicant has been granted a previous approval for a fuily underground parking garage beneath
the proposed access drive south of the existing Townhouses. We are asking for the approval to install
a underground vehicle ramp to the west of the existing town homes to access the new parking garage
located to the south of the town homes. We believe the construction of additional underground
parking meets the intention of the Zoning Ordinance as well as the Lionshead Master Plan.
RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING OR PROPOSED USES OR STRUCTURES IN THE VICINITY,
COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT SITES, EFFECT ON LIGHT AND AIR, DISTRIBUTION OF
POPULATION, TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC FACILITIES, UTILITIES, AND PUBLIC SAFETY: �
The Applicant believes that a large number of Buildings, in the immediate area vary from setback
standards, and, as stated above the adjacent property to the south has a zero setback. The setback
encroachment is proposed to provide additional parking access on the site for"warm bed" uses which
conforms with the intention Master Plan.
� The Applicant be�ieves that the proposal has no negative impacts of light and air, distribution of
population, transportation, traffic facilities, utilities, or public safety.
The Variances requested are needed to allow reasonable redevelopment of the existing property. The
improvements proposed by The Applicant are consistent with the goals of the Master Plan.

APPLICATIION FOR VARIANCE
LANDMARK CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
LOT 1, BLOCK 1, VAIL LIONSHEAD 3RD FILING
VARIANCES FOR PARTIAL SOUTH SETBACK, LANDSCAPE AREA, AND SITE COVERAGE (IF
REQUIRED, PENDING OUTCOME OF APPEAL)
NATURE OF THE VARIANCES:
WEST SETBACK
The Applicant proposes to encroach into the west setback, to a limited extent, as indicated on the
plans, to permit construction of a required exit stair and an underground ramp to access the proposed
parking garage. The area proposed for encroachment is adjacent to the existing building to the west.
It will extend out to the limit of the existing Landmark property line. This request conflicts with Section
12-7H-10.
SITE COVERAGE
The Applicant has been granted a previous approval for a fully underground parking garage beneath
the proposed access drive south of the existing Townhouses. We are asking for the approval to install
a underground vehicle ramp to the west of the existing town homes to access the new parking garage
located to the south of the town homes. We believe the construction of additional underground
parking meets the intention of the Zoning Ordinance as well as the Lionshead Master Plan.
RELATIONSHIP TO EXISTING OR PROPOSED USES OR STRUCTURES IN THE VICINITY,
COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJACENT SITES, EFFECT ON LIGHT AND AIR, DISTRIBUTION OF
POPULATION, TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC FACILITIES, UTILITIES, AND PUBLIC SAFETY:
The Applicant believes that a large number of Buildings, in the immediate area vary from setback
standards, and, as stated above the adjacent property to the south has a zero setback. The setback
encroachment is proposed to provide additional parking access on the site for"warm bed" uses which
conforms with the intention Master Plan.
The Applicant believes that the proposal has no negative impacts of light and air, distribution of
population, transportation, traffic facilities, utilities, or public safety.
The Variances requested are needed to allow reasonable redevelopment of the existing property. The
improvements proposed by The Applicant are consistent with the goals of the Master Plan.

RE: Landmark—610 West Lionshead Circle/Lots 1, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 3
Dear Bill,
The Town of Vail Public Works Department has reviewed the proposed changes to the Landmark
residential project at 610 West Lionshead Circle. The following is a summary of the comments from that
review:
1. An additional variance is required for the proposed two-way, twelve foot (12') wide speed
ramp. The Vail Town Code requires a minimum width of twenty feet (22'). An
engineering report must be submitted verifying that a signalized two-way ramp can
function appropriately in this location.
2. No element of the foundation may encroach into the street �ight-of-way (footers,
foundation drains, etc).
3. Submit a description of the shoring system proposed to facilitate construction of the
garage. Shoring walls shall not encroach into the street right-of-way. Tie backs and soil
nails will only be considered with an executed license agreement.
4. The applicant must remove the existing street lights along West Lionshead Circle that
conflict with the proposed improvements, and then install three (3) new Town of Vail
village streetscape lights behind the sidewalk. The three (3) lights shall be installed
starting ten feet (10') north of the Landmark's south property line, then proceeding north
at an interval of fifty feet (50') on center.
Please submit revisions to the Town of Vail Department of Community Development addressing the
above listed items on or before Monday, January 7, 2008. If you have any questions or comments,
please feel free to contact me at (970) 479-2173 or Chad Salli with the Public Works Department at (970)
479-2169.
Sincerely,
.

RE: Landmark-610 Lionshead Circle/Lots1, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 3
Dear Bill,
Thanks for your consideration in the matter of the ramp access to the underground garage for this
project. We understand the geometric challenges this solution presents and we remain sensitive
to the Town of Vail's interests in our application for this variance. The entire development team
feels that this change is an asset to both the project functionally and to the town in terms of safety
and that iYs worthy of the detailed analysis we've already conducted and that which you're
requesting in your letter.
Specifically,
1. We're aggressively pursuing the engineering report Chad Salli requested using the traffic
engineers of record, FoxHiggins Transportation Group. Our goal is to present a modified
report prior to the scheduled PEC/DRB meetings. We understand that we may receive
conditional approval pending receipt of this report, but delivery of this report prior to your
meeting remains our steadfast goal. We've presented the geometric analysis based on
AASHTO standard turning geometries as prepared by Alpine Engineering (Tim Leininger)
in our submittal of 12/17. A copy of sheet TOV-1 is attached for your reference.
2. No permanent portion of the foundation will encroach into the street right of way.
Footings will be cast interior to the tunnel and foundation drainage will be implemented
using a drainage mat and weeps to the interior of the tunnel. These systems are shown
as designed by our Structural Engineer Bob Redwine and our Civil Engineer Tim
Leininger on the attached tunnel section
3. The attached tunnel section indicates the geometries and procedures proposed to
facilitate the construction of the tunnel. Per discussion with you and Chad Salli, Howard
Olsen of Alter Construction will execute a license agreement for tiebacks or soil nails with
Town of Vail as soon as possible.
4. The attached landscape site plan shows street lights to be removed and 3 new Town of
Vail village streetscape lights to be installed.
