Memorandum
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 13, 2011
SUBJECT: A request for the review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-8C-3,
Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of"paved and
unpaved, non-motorized, bicycle paths and pedestrians ways" (i.e. steps),
located at Part of Tract B, Vail Lionshead Filing 3, generally located on the north
bank of Gore Creek east of the West Forest Road bridge, and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (PEC110029)
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie
Planner: Bill Gibson
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, Town of Vail, is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the
construction of steps on the north bank of Gore Creek east of the West Forest Road
bridge. 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 approval, with a condition, of this application subject to the
findings noted in Section VIII of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The Town of Vail has received a request to improve an existing informal "take-out" area
for rafters on the north bank of Gore Creek east of the West Forest Road bridge.
Today, there are no steps or other built improvements between the public recreation
path and the creek in this vicinity. The proposed steps are intended to improve public
access to Gore Creek for rafting, kayaking, fishing, and other stream uses.
The Town of Vail is proposing to construct two sets of 30 inch wide wooden steps,
spaced approximately six feet apart, on the north bank of Gore Creek between the
creek and the existing recreation path. The proposed steps will be installed above the
ordinary high water mark and the 100-year Gore Creek flood plain level. The proposed
steps will be installed in a manner to not disturb existing grades and vegetation.
A vicinity map (Attachment A), the applicant's request (Attachment B), architectural
plans (Attachment C), and photographs have been attached for review.
III. BACKGROUND
The Town's archives indicate that as early as 1971 the Town of Vail leased Tract B, Vail
Lionshead Filing 3 from Vail Associates for open space.
In 1984, Vail Associates, Inc. transferred ownership of Tract B, Vail Lionshead Filing 3
to the Town of Vail.
In 1995, the Town of Vail rezoned Tract B, Vail Lionshead Filing 3 from the Agriculture
and Open Space District to the Natural Area Preservation District. Ordinance No. 19,
Series of 1995, rezoned 67 properties (including the subject Tract B) to the Natural Area
Preservation District, Outdoor Recreation District, or General Use District to address the
recommendations of the Vail Land Use Plan and the Vail Comprehensive Open Lands
Plan. Ordinance No. 19 stated in part:
"Whereas, the proposed down-zoning to the Natural Area Preservation District
will help protect natural resources in the Town of Vail which is an objective of the
Town as stated in the Vail Land Use Plan, Comprehensive Open Lands Plan,
and Environmental Strategic Plan."
In 2005, the subject Part of Tract B was split from other portions of Tract B to reflect the
boundaries of the Lionshead Urban Renewal District.
IV. APPLICABLE PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Staff believes that following provisions of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan
and the Vail Town Code are relevant to the review of this proposal:
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan (in part)
CHAPTER 3: EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT AND PROBLEM
IDENTIFICATION (in part)
3.2.6 Recreation and Open Space
The Gore Creek open space corridor roughly bisects the Lionshead study area.
Portions of this corridor, which widens significantly at the eastern end of the study area,
are owned by the Town of Vail and by Vail Associates (see Map 8). The existing tennis
courts at the eastern end of Forest Road, while part of the agricultural and open space
zone district, are unattractive (see figure 3-2) and visually inconsistent with the rest of
the Gore Creek corridor. The Gore Creek corridor is described in greater detail in
section 3.7.2.
3.7.2 Open Space Zone
Town of Vail Page 2
The primary component in the open space zone is Gore Creek and the natural area that
flanks it (see figure 3-3). This vitally important open space corridor is characterized by
thick riparian vegetation along the creek embankments, low-lying wetlands to the south
of the creek, and the grassy slopes of the lower ski trails. The eastern end of Gore
Creek (see figure 3-4) supports large evergreen trees, but the western stretches of the
creek (see figure 3-5) are largely devoid of tree cover and in need of rehabilitation.
The secondary components of the open space zone are the Middle Creek and Red
Sandstone Creek corridors that run north from Gore Creek, forming the east and west
boundaries of the study area (see figures 3-6 and 3-7). The 100-year flood plain of
these creeks is shown in Map D. Both Middle Creek and Red Sandstone Creek have
been significantly impacted by adjacent development but retain some high quality
vegetation.
CHAPTER 4: MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS — OVERALL STUDY AREA (in
part)
4.3.2.1 Landscape and Green Belt Corridors
Wherever possible the natural landscape of the Gore Creek corridor should be allowed
to penetrate into the more urbanized portions of Lionshead (see Map O). This will open
up access points to the Gore Creek corridor, enhance the quality of individual
properties, and improve the image of Lionshead as an alpine resort.
CHAPTER 5: DETAILED PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS (in part)
5.4 Gore Creek Corridor(in part)
The master plan goals for the Gore Creek corridor are to protect and enhance its natural
beauty and environment, to connect it to the Lionshead core, and to make the Gore
Creek recreation path safer and more inviting as a passive recreation amenity. Specific
recommendations for this corridor are as follows:
5.4.3 Safety Issues
The existing Gore Creek recreation path is a relatively safe environment, but conflicts
between pedestrians and cyclists will increase as the popularity of bicycling grows. A
clearly delineated bicycle lane wide enough for a bicycle with a pull-behind child carrier
is needed. The path should be wide enough for a cyclist to pass another bicycle without
endangering nearby pedestrians. The design of the path should eliminate blind curves
where cyclists riding in opposing directions might collide. The pool deck behind the
Antlers presents such a hazard, and all potential measures should be taken to remedy
that situation, including removal or modification of the pool.
5.4.5 Revegetation and Landscaping West of the Ski Yard
Slope revegetation and landscaping are needed along the western portion of the Gore
Creek recreation path. This section, which traverses a fill bank above Gore Creek, may
never have the forested character of the section east of the ski yard, but it can be
greatly enhanced by planting more trees. The focus should be on the more barren
Town of Vail Page 3
north side, with less intensive landscaping on the south bank framing views to the creek
(see figure 6-4). The added landscaping should be as natural as possible and
appropriate for a riparian environment. The use of small understory plantings that
would increase maintenance requirements should be minimized.
Title 12, Zoninq Requlations, Vail Town Code (in part)
ARTICLE 8-C: NATURAL AREA PRESERVATION DISTICT
Section 12-8C-1: Purpose:
The natural area preservation district is designed to provide areas which, because of
their environmentally sensitive nature or natural beauty, shall be protected from
encroachment by any building or other improvement, other than those listed in section
12-8C-2 of this article. The natural area preservation district is intended to ensure that
designated lands remain in their natural state, including reclaimed areas, by protecting
such areas from development and preserving open space. The natural area
preservation district includes lands having valuable wildlife habitat, exceptional aesthetic
or flood control value, wetlands, riparian areas and areas with significant environmental
constraints. Protecting sensitive natural areas is important for maintaining water quality
and aquatic habitat, preserving wildlife habitat, flood control, protecting view corridors,
minimizing the risk from hazard areas, and protecting the natural character of Vail which
is so vital to the town's tourist economy. The intent shall not preclude improvement of
the natural environment by the removal of noxious weeds, deadfall where necessary to
protect public safety or similar compatible improvements.
Section 12-88-3: Conditional Uses: (in part)
The following conditional uses shall be permitted in the NAP district, subject to the
issuance of a conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of chapter 16 of
this title:
Equestrian trails, used only to access national forest system lands.
Interpretive nature walks.
Parking, when used in conjunction with a permitted or conditional use.
Paved and unpaved, nonmotorized, bicycle paths and pedestrian
walkwa ys.
Picnic tables and informal seating areas.
Other uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted or conditional uses
and necessary for the operation thereof, with the exception of buildings.
CHAPTER 12-16: CONDITIONAL USES PERMITS (in part)
Section 12-16-1: Purpose; Limitations:
Town of Vail Page 4
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title,
specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a conditional
use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics, conditional uses require
review so that they may be located properly with respect to the purposes of this title and
with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. The review process prescribed
in this chapter is intended to assure compatibility and harmonious development
between conditional uses and surrounding properties in the Town at large. Uses listed
as conditional uses in the various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions
and limitations as the Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of
the conditional uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the Town
and will not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be
devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be
denied.

West: Stream Tract General Use District
East: Stream Tract Agriculture and Open Space District
VII. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW CRITERIA
Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town.
Staff believes the installation of the proposed steps will improve public access to Gore
Creek and the natural environment consistent the purpose of the Natural Area
Preservation District and the overall recommendations of the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan. Staff believes the proposed steps will reduce creek bank erosion, thus
protecting water quality and will also improve pedestrian safety and convenience.
2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public
facilities needs.
Town of Vail Page 5
Staff believes the proposed steps will have no significant affect on light, air, the
distribution of population, utilities, schools, and other public facilities in comparison to
existing conditions. Staff believes construction of the proposed steps will improve public
access to the Gore Creek stream tracts in Lionshead (a Town of Vail park/recreation
asset). Staff also believes the proposed steps will create a more convenient and safer
pedestrian connection between Gore Creek and the adjacent recreation path (both a
Town of Vail park/recreation and transportation asset).
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and
pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access,
maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas.
Staff believes the installation of the proposed steps will have no significant affect on
automotive traffic or the removal of snow from streets and parking areas in comparison
to existing conditions.
Staff believes the installation of the proposed steps will improve pedestrian safety and
convenience; improve recreation path traffic flow, control, and congestion; improve
public access to Gore Creek; and improve maneuverability for rafters and kayakers
"taking-out" of Gore Creek in this vicinity.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be
located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to
surrounding uses.
The proposed steps will be constructed of wood in a non-ornate design, located above
the ordinary high water mark and the 100-year Gore Creek flood plain level, and
installed in a manner that will not disturb existing grades and vegetation. Therefore,
Staff believes the proposed steps are in keeping the naturalistic character of the Gore
Creek stream tract and the scale of the surrounding buildings.
VIII. RECOMMENDATION

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Department of Public Works
DATE: May 17, 2011
SUBJECT: Information Update—Gore Creek Access Improvement
With the success of summer rafting trips on Gore Creek,the town has received a request to
improve a"take-ouY'area near the West Forest Road Bridge. The existing take-out requires
guests to scramble up a steep embankment to the bike path. The proposed improvements
would require construction of simple wooden steps built into the hillside. Two sets of 30"wide
steps approximately six feet apart will create an easy access for rafts to be carried out of the
creek. The steps will only be installed in the area above the ordinary high water mark,and will
not disturb existing vegetation or grades. In addition to improving access for boaters,the steps
will also benefit fishing access and other stream users.The stream tract parcel upstream of
Forest Rd is zoned Natural Area Preservation, requiring PEC approval for any improvements.
Unless otherwise directed, staff will proceed through the proper design review process.At this
time,the item is scheduled on the June 13 PEC meeting.

residential floor area on the lowest level of a structure that contains a garage, and
setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant: Kathy Langenwalter, Peel/Langenwalter Architects
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Uphold the Administrator's interpretation. Recommendation for
amendments to the Vail Town Code to apply both the garage and basement GRFA
deductions to garages on the lowest level of a structure.
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 5-1-0 (Hopkins opposed)
Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff inemorandum.
Kathy Langenwalter made a presentation per the appeal. She distributed a copy of the
GRFA regulations with highlighted sections supporting her argument. She noted that the
purpose of the garage deduction was to encourage the construction of garages since
they are not required by the Town Code. She identified that the regulations state that the
garage gets deducted, then the portion of the lowest level below grade, including the
garage if on that level, gets deducted. She stated that Rollie Kjesbo and David Viele,
former PEC members, were present to show their support of Kathy's interpretation of the
GRFA regulations. She further stated that Staff's interpretation was incorrect and
created inequity among properties. She stated that she discussed this issue with two
former council members who remembered the debate about only one level of a structure
being allowed a basement deduction, but they did not remember a discussion about how
garages on the lowest level are calculated.
Page 5
David Viele, former member of the PEC, made a presentation regarding the calculation
of GRFA at his home in 2005. He stated that his house was calculated using a third
methodology.
Rollie Kjesbo, former member of the PEC, stated that he was involved in the
amendments to GRFA regulations. He said that the regulations intended to follow
Kathy's appeal.
Commissioner Hopkins returned shortly after the appellant's presentation.
Commissioner Pierce stated that in his experience, the regulations have been
consistently applied by Staff. He asked about the possibility of a negative GRFA on the
lowest level.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the point of the amendments was to be equal not to be
unequal.
Bill Gibson added that the rules are applied the same, but the outcomes are different
due to the different topography of lots.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the contention is with the deductions.
Commissioner Pratt asked about how the below grade percentage is calculated with a
party wall. Gibson responded that the below grade percentage is calculated by the
exterior walls of the structure.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that if you have to remove the garage from the lowest level,
having a garage in that location is going to lower the basement deduction.
Commissioner Pierce stated that the GRFA calculations should result in the same
number for uphill and downhill lots.
Commissioner Pratt stated that with David Viele's home, the deductions appear to have
been applied using Staff's methodology.
Commissioner Pratt stated the ordinance needs to be clarified, but that the Staff's intent
is correct. He noted that the deductions appear to be listed in order, and the appellant's
methodology was not the intended method.
Kathy Langenwalter noted that the calculations should be the same for both uphill and
downhill lots.
Commissioner Kurz asked Kathy Langenwalter if she thought the intent of the
regulations was to prevent garages from creating larger floor areas.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that garages can exceed the deduction amount, which would
counts towards GRFA.
Page 6
Commissioner Pierce stated that inequity should not occur and that this inequity should
be fixed.
Commissioner Cartin express concern about lowest level counting as a negative GRFA
number, and suggested that basement deduction be capped at 100% so the GRFA is
not negative. .
Commissioner Pierce stated that it is ok to have a negative GRFA in a basement
because overall it comes from the total GRFA.
Commissioner Cartin stated that the garage and basement are two separate entities and
that are used differently.
Commissioner Pierce stated that if you remove the deductions from total GRFA, it will
remove inequities.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that all levels get calculated together, then deductions occur.
Commissioner Pratt stated that there are holes in the regulations, but Staff has applied
the rules consistently.
Gibson stated that Staff has been interpreting the regulations as the Town Council
directed. He stated that Staff recommends the PEC upholds Staff interpretation
However, if the PEC disagrees with the current policy, they should recommend
amending the code, rather than re-interpreting the code.
Commissioner Pierce stated that Staff has applied the rules consistently.
Commissioner Kurz stated that the regulations should be amended. He noted concern
about the legal impacts of deciding that the code has been misinterpreted since its
adoption seven years ago.
Commissioner Pratt clarified that the appeal requires the PEC to determine if the policy
implemented by Staff does, or does not, align with the code.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that former council member Diana Donovan agrees with her
interpretation and the council wouldn't have adopted a regulations that wasn't equitable.
Bill Gibson stated that the effects of the same basement deduction rule are different for
different properties and that these issues were discussed by the Town Council in 2004.
Commissioner Kurz asked procedural questions.
Commissioner Pierce stated that a new ordinance should change the policy to equalize
the uphill and downhill lots.
Page 7
He agreed with other Commissioner comments that the deductions are listed in order in
the code. He also agreed with Commissioner Kurz's comments.
Commissioner Kurz again expressed concern about disregarding seven years of
consistent implementation.
Commissioner Schneidman that is difficult to uphold or overturn Staff's interpretation
because the code isn't clear. He stated that legally speaking, just because the code
doesn't say something, doesn't mean the opposite is true.
Kathy Langenwalter asked where the ambiguity is and Commissioner Kurz responded
with "your presentation."
Commissioner Pratt brought up the equality issue again. He stated he wants the Town
Council to determine their intent was equality among all lots.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that she wanted to clarify that the garage wouldn't be
deducted twice, but that garage would be included in basement deduction.
Commissioner Hopkins clarified that Langenwalter wants clarity and equity.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the garage should be counted towards the basement
deduction.
Bill Gibson stated that should the PEC wish to change the policy, then the PEC should
recommend amending the code. Gibson asked the PEC if the proposed policy change
would also apply to crawlspaces, attics, employee housing units, and other deductible
floor areas that may be located on the lower level of a building.
Commissioner Cartin stated that the scope of review of this appeal should be limited to
garage and basement deductions, and not equity among different lots.
Commissioner Kurz made a motion to overturn staff's interpretation and to forward a
recommendation for amendments to the code.
Commissioner Pratt seconded the motion.
Commissioner Kurz was asked about the intent of the motion. He clarified that he
intended to uphold the Staff's interpretation but the code should be amended.
Commissioner Kurz withdrew his motion, Commissioner Pratt withdrew his second.
Commissioner Kurz made a motion to uphold Staff's interpretation. As part of the
motion, a recommendation was forwarded that the code be amended to include garages
in the basement deduction calculation.
Commissioner Pratt seconded the motion.
Page 8
The Commissioners continued to discuss future regulations. Commissioner Cartin stated
that for future regulations, garage and basement are two separate entities.
Kathy Langenwalter again clarified her intent for the future regulations.
