PLANNING COMMENTS
1. The area of the west garage was expanded in order to address building height
issues, however the cover sheet still identifies the garage area as 600 square feet. I
believe this garage may exceed 600 square feet resulting in the need for a new GRFA
analysis to be performed. Please revise the cover sheet and provide a new GRFA
analysis. From the cover sheet calculations the secondary unit is at the allowable
maximum for GRFA. I will be looking to see how the expansion of garage square
footage is accounted for and affects the allowable GRFA for the site and the secondary
unit.
2. Please provide a cut sheet of the proposed light fixture in order for staff to determine
that the light fixture will comply with the 14-10-7, Outdoor Lighting, Vail Town Code.
3. Please show the gutters and downspouts on the elevation plans.
4. Please show the snow guards on the elevations or roof plans.
