Dear Rachel:
Attached please find our application and supporting documents for Conceptual Review of
the following project:
John Residence
5075 Ute Lane
Vail, Colorado
The clients propose to remodel the existing house, including additions to the residence.
The exterior finish changes are proposed to introduce an eclectic mix of materials and
forms congruent with contemporary trends in local architecture.
The several varied roof forms will combine corrugated weathering steel with standing
seam copper and asphalt shingles. Copper will reappear on the garage door and possibly
in detail components. Several exterior sheathing materials will be utilized including
stucco, fiber cement shingle siding, fiber cement &/or wood siding, stone veneer and
simulated heavy timber framing elements. The color scheme has not been finalized as
this writing, pending review and discussions with the Town of Vail Design Review Board
and owners.
Statistics for consideration by the planning department and DRB include:
Existing lot area: .542 ac platted (23,609 Sq. Ft.)
Existing site coverage: 4722 sq. ft.
Proposed site coverage: 5398 sq. ft.
Allowable GRFA: 7619 sq.ft.
Existing GRFA: 2454 sq. ft.
Proposed GRFA: 4822sq. ft. (NIC garage 570 sq. ft.)
