MEMORANDUM
Planning and Environmental Commission
Community Development Department
July 12,2004
A request for a conditional use permit, to allow for employee parking at the.Hofy Cross Site", located at 923 and 862 South Frontage Road WesVTract
A, Tract B, l-70 R.OW. Parcel 268, and Red Sandstone Rd Parcel., in
accordance with Section 12-71-5, Vail Town Code and variances from the
landscaping requirement associated with Section 12-71-15 and the paved
surface requirement associated with Section 14-5, Vail Town Code.
Applicant: Vail Resorts, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC
Co-Applicant: The Town of Vail
Planner: Matt Gennett
SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is
requesting a conditional use permit to allow employee parking at the "Holy Cross"
Lot, 923 and 862 South Frontage Road West, and is requesting two variances: a
deviation from the minimum landscaping requirement associated with Off-Street
Parking and Loading areas and a deviation from the paving requirement associated
with Off-Street Parking and Loading areas. Pending approval from the Planning and
Environmental Commission, the lot will continue in its use as a parking lot until mid-
November, 2005. Staff is recommending approval of these requests subject to the
findings and conditions outlined in Section lX of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by the Mauriello Planning Group, is
requesting a conditional use permit in accordance with Section 12-71-5, Vail Town
Code, to allow for a private parking lot on the Holy Cross site. Additionally, the
applicant is requesting the following: a variance from Title 14, Section 5 of the
Development Standards Handbook, to allow for a deviation from the minimum
interior landscaped area of 10% that is required for an unenclosed off-street parking
area containing 15 or more spaces; and a variance from Title 14, Section 5 of the
Development Standards Handbook, to allow for the construction of an unimproved,
gravel parking surface at the site located at 923 South Frontage Road WesUTract A.
The site on which the parking lot is proposed is complicated for several reasons. A
portion of the proposed parking lot is being developed within the Town's Red
Sandstone right-of-way parcel which divides Tract A and B as well as on a parcel
;km*$ln',T""Tf:.,ff j38i:x"riJffi;;i,HTfr,,:il:;;:J-r,
property.
The cunent request will allow the operation of an unpaved parking area for the 2004-
2005 ski season as the first of two phases of a larger, more permanent paved
solution. The reason for the request to allow the parking to be unpaved for one
additional year is to provide adequate time for the Town of Vail to explore the
development of a parking structure on this land. lf it is decided that a parking
structure is not feasible, Vail Resorts will complete the paving of this lot according to
the proposed plan by November 2005.
The conditional use and variance requests apply to the area of the maintenance site
directly west of the buildings that currently store Vail Resorls' equipment and
vehicles (Tract A). Vail Resorts has completed a clean-up of the Holy Cross parcel
by removingiThoperable vehibles "stored" on the site, improving the visual apsects of
the site remarkably.
Phase 1 of the project will provide a total of 291 parking spaces and will be open to
Vail Resorts' employees only. Phase 2 of the project will also accommodate
approximately 291 employee spaces and therefore replace all of the West Day Lot
parking and a portion of the North Day Lot employee parking. Phase 1 will also
complete the required Frontage Road improvement for which Vail Resorts has a
permit from CDOT to complete. All of the drainage and landscape improvements will
also be completed. A new snowcat route is provided at the west end of the site, thus
removing snowcats from Forest Road, a long-standing goal of the Town and th'e
neighborhood
Vehicle access will be from the South Frontage Road entrance to the Maintenance
Center. The entrance will be controlled by a card-reading gate on the east side of the
lot, to the northwest of the maintenance site entrance that is opposite Forest Road.
According to the applicant, "pedestrian access and circulation will occur internal to
the site and cross the South Frontage Road at the intersection with Forest Road to
the existing pedestrian path located on the south side of the South Frontage Road.
A painted crosswalk and signage will be provided at this location to alert the motorist
to the presence of pedestrians. This will allow employees to have a safe and
protected route to Lionshead.'
Grading has occurred on the site to facilitate improved drainage on the site so that
runoff will not drain directly into the adjacent Red Sandstone Creek. New drainage
inlets and a soil/sand separator are being provided.
Limits of disturbance fencing will be placed around the area to be graded in order to
protect the existing vegetation near the creek. Snow storage has been designated
on the site plan and will exist largely on the north side of the lot and in temporary
locations within the parking lot. Directional signage has been proposed by the
applicant and will be discussed further should a conditional use permit be approved.
The construction of the proposed unpaved parking lot requires the review of two
applications. The first application includes two variance requests: to construct the
|il.
parking lot with an unpaved, gravel surface and without the landscapin$ required
under Parking Structure Design Standards. The second application is for a
conditional use permit to construcl the parking lot under the Lionshead Mixed Use ll
zone district requirements. Additionally, the landscape variance will allow for the
permanent, paved parking lot if a parking structure is not pursued by the Town or
Vail Resorts.
BACKGROUND
Holy Cross Parcel (Tract A)
Prior to Vail Resorts' 1995 purchase of Tract A, the parcel proposed to be used as a
parking area for Phase 1, the lot was used by Vail Resorts and Holy Cross Electric
for vehicle and equipment storage. The use of the lot as a storage site, as well as
the creation of 101 unpaved parking spaces, was approved by the Town of Vail
through a conditional use permit and related variances in 1990. However, after the
approval expired in 2001, a conditional use permit for an unpaved parking area was
again applied for and approval was granted by the Town. The site was used for
landscape equipment and material storage for Fitz and Gaylord landscaping and
vehicle storage for Vail Resorts (70 unpaved spaces). The approval lapsed in July of
2003 and a new conditional use permit, identical to the one contemplated herein,
was approved by the PEC in October, 2003 and is due to expire in October, 2004,
which is why the applicant is applying for this new conditional use permit and
associated variances.
A historical concern about the use of this lot has been the storage of abandoned
vehicles and junk on the site. To mitigate this concern a landscaped berm was
required to buffer the site from the Frontage Road. Last year, the site was cleared of
abandoned vehicles and assorted junk. In addition, drainage has been improved to
prevent direc{ run-off to Red Sandstone
Maintenance Center (Tract B)
In 1993 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit allowing an expansion of
the Vail Resorts Maintenance Center. That expansion allowed a building addition
which contained offices, meeting areas, locker rooms, and storage. Along with that
approval, the Town required 57 employee parking and snowcat parking spaces for
the uses onsite.
ROLES OF THE REVIEWING BOARDS
Gonditional Use
Order of Review: Generally, applications will be reviewed first by the PEC for
acceptability of use and then by the DRB for compliance of proposed buildings and
site planning.

The PEC is responsible for evaluating a proposal for:
tv.
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town.
2. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities,
utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public
facilities needs.
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 streets and parking areas.
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 sunounding uses.
5. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to the
proposed use.

12-71-1: PURPOSE:
The Lionshead Mixed Use 2 District is intended to provide sites for a midure
of multiple-family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, time shares,
lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, light industrial
activities, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified
development. Lionshead Mixed Use 2 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 District 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.
Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public, off-site,
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. Public amenities which
will be evaluated with redevelopment proposals taking advantage of the
incentives created herein may include: streetscape improvements,
pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements. (Ord. 3(1999) S 2)

Lionshead Master Plan
The Lionshead Master Plan, adopted December 1 5, 1998, references the
proposed use and specifically the Holy Cross site in the following sections:
Section 3.9: "The ground rules of the Lionshead master plan state that future
redevelopment will not cause a net loss of parking.
Section 3.2.5.3: Vail Associates Service Yard
The Vail Associates seruice yard, bordered by the South Frontage
Road on fhe easf and south and Red Sandslone Creek on the west,
cunently contains a wide variety of mountai,in operation functions such
as snowcaf service and fueling, warehouse storage, and maintenance
shops. While the seruice yard is critical to Vail Associates' mountain
operations there is a strong interest on the paft of the Town of Vail to
see the majority of these facilities relocated on-mountain. According
to Vail Associates it may be possib/e to relocate many of the facilities,
but the snow cat seruice and fueling operations must remain at or
near its current location.
Secfrbn 3.9.4Yail Associates Employee Paking
Vail Associates cunently utilizes two large surface parking lots within
the study area for its employee parking needs. The nofth day lot (see
figure 3-15), with a capacity of approximately 105 cars, is located
behind the Landmark tower and is the site proposed for a
transpoftation center. The west day lot, located just west of the
Manioft parking structure, has an approximate capacity of 160 cars
and represents a significant development oppoftunity. Parking'
displaced by redevelopment of these sifes musf be replaced within the
Lionshead study area to satisfy the ground rule requiring no net /oss
of parking.

VIII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR REVIEW
Conditional Use Permit
10
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of the Zoning
Regulations, 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 and evaluation 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 and 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 ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses
will be in accordance with 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.
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 development objectives of the
town,
Staff believes that the proposed parking area, though unpaved and not
landscaped, will still have a positive impact on the development objectives of
the Town. The previous three conditional use permit approvals by the PEC
(1990, 2001 and 2003) demonstrate that the site is well-suited as a parking
area in addition to providing temporary relief of the existing parking problem
in the winter and a more attractive alternative to the current use of the site for
equipment and vehicle storage.
The Lionshead Master Plan also states in Section 3.9.4 that Parking
displaced by redevelopment on the West Day Lot and North Day lot "musf be
replaced within the Lionshead study area to satisf the ground rule requiing
no net /oss of parking."
Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs.
Staff believes the proposed parking area meets the purpose and intent of the
above criteria. The proposed parking area will provide an improved parking
situation for Vail Resorts employees and create safer conditions for visitors
on the South Frontage Road. The functionality of the South Frontage Road
will be improved during peak winter days.
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 streets and parking
areas.
2-
3.
ll
Staff believes that the proposed parking area is a positive improvement in
terms of the above criteria. The anticipated reduction of parking on the South
Frontage Road, due to increased parking availability for Vail Resorts
employees, will result in reduced congestion, increased safety for employees
and skiers, and improved traffic flow.
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 above criterion is not relevant to the proposed parking area as there are
no buildings associated with this proposal.
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings
before granting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this
Title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
Title.
Variance
In order to prevent or to lessen such practical difflculties and unnecessary physical
hardships inconsistent with the objectives of this title as would result from strict or
literal interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be
granted. A practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the
size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon;
from topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or
from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity.
Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation
shall not be a reason for granting a variance.
The applicant has requested a variance from Title 14 Chapter 5 of the Development
Standards Handbook, Parking Lot and Parking Structure Design Standards For All
Uses. According to Title 14 Chapter 5
"All parking areas shall be an improved sufface."
Furthermore, it states;
"Not /ess than 10% of the interior suiace area of unenclosed off-street
parking areas containing 15 or more parking spaces shall be devoted to
landscaping. ln addition, landscape borders nol /ess than 10 feet in depth
shall be provided at all edges of parking lots containing 30 or more parking
spaces. A landscape berm, wall, or fence of not /ess than 4 feet in height, of
t2
1.
the same architectural sfy/e as the building, in combination with landscaping
may be substituted for the landscape border. ln developmenfs wifh cross-
access or shared parking facilities, the landscape border between the
development shall not be required."
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the continued use of a gravel
surfaced parking facility with no interior landscaping.
Section 12-17-6, Criteria and Findings, of the Vail Town Code, prescribes the criteria
to be used by the Planning and Environmental Commission when considering a
request for a variance. According to Section 12-17-6, Criteria and Findings,
Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested
variance:
The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed parking area will have little to no negative affect on uses and
structures in the vicinity. The proposal will allow the Town of Vail and Vail
Resorts more time to develop additional parking for the public. Allowing an
unpaved surface makes the public parking solution less urgent. Additionally,
the use of this property, "in this quasi-industrial area of Vail,' has historically
been for vehicle and equipment storage. Therefore, the continuance of this
site as a parking area should not be problematic.
The degree to which relief from the strict or 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 grant of special privilege.
Staff believes that the proposed parking area will be a major benefit to the
community in providing a larger parking area for the employees of Vail
Resorts. A requirement to immediately install an improved paved surface
would not permit this proposal to work in the short time frame that exists to
help address the skier parking problem yet this year. Additionally, the parking
area is proposed to be paved as a part of Phase 2 of the project. Because
these variances are sought to help provide a solution to the public parking
condition throughout the Town, their approval should not be seen as granting
a special privilege. The circumstances of the proposed uses and the
variances required to make them happen are very unique and common only
to very few sites within the Town of Vail. To reduce the degree of relief
asked for in this request, staff would recommend that the conditional use
permit only be allowed for one year from the date of this approval. Staff has
also considered that 40% of Tract A, l-70 property, and the TOV Right of Way
will remain undisturbed and landscaped.
The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
2.
3.
IJ
o
tx.
The proposed variances include the clean-up of one of the Town's least
attractive sites. The proposed parking area will greatly improve
transportation, traffic, and public safety. The maintenance of the berm and
maintaining the riparian area of Red Sandstone creek is critical in buffering
the site from adjacent land uses.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems applicable to
the proposed variance.
The planning and environmental commission shall make the following findings before
granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and
Environmental Commission approves with conditions the request for a final review
of a variance from Title 14, Chapter 5, Parking Lot and Parking Structure Design
Standards for All Uses, to allow for a deviation from the minimum landscape area
requirement and to construct an unpaved, gravel parking surface, and a request for a
conditional use permit to allow the construction of a private parking lot at the Holy
Cross Site, located at 923 and 862 South Frontage Road West/Tract A, Tract B, l-70
R.OW. Parcel 268. and Red Sandstone Rd Parce 1.
1. The conditional use permit shall expire on November 1, 2005,unless the parcel is
paved according to the approved plan, in which case the conditional use permit
will not expire.
t4
3.
The applicant shall maintain and operate the proposed parking lot at an
appropriate level of cleanliness by providing trash receptacles on the site for use
by Vail Resorts' employees.
Parking delineation within the site shall be through simple ropes and flags,
communicating the appropriate spaces and efficiently maximizing the site.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve with
conditions the applicant's requests, staff recommends that the following findings be
made as part of the motion:
Conditional Use Permit
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following
findings before granting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the temporary parking facility is in
accordance with the purposes of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations
and the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 2 zone district.
2. That the proposed location of the temporary parking area and the
conditions under which it will be operated and maintained will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the temporary parking facility will comply with each of the
applicable provisions of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations
Variance
The planning and environmental commission shall make the following
findings before granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the parking lot surtace and landscape variance
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties in the General lJse zone distict as the
applicant is proposing compliance with the applicable elements of the
Town's planning documents.
2. That the granting of the parking lot sufface and landscape variance
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the vaiance is wananted for the following reason:
The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the pa*ing lot, surface and landscape area regulation would deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other propefties in the General
Use zone district given the amount of hardscape area required on the
l5
development slte to compty with the appticable planning documen5 of
the Tam of Vail.

Summaryof Prcposal
Last fall the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission approved a proposal to
create additional parking on the Holy Goss parcel locared q/est of rhe Vail Resons
maintenance facfity. The approval dlovied the parking surface to be unpaved and granted a
variance from rhe interior landscaping requirement of the Town's development standards.
One of the conditions of approval of that application requires the ownerio obtain approval
for and complete construction of permanent paved parking byNovember 2004. The-Town
of Vail staff has requested thar Vail Resorts postpone paving the parking lot unril
investigation and discussion can occur about the potefiial for a joint-vennrre parking
strucrure on this parcel. Vail Resorts it ,pply.g for a conditional use permit and variance to
allow all required improvements except the paving of the parking area. This application will
allovr the owner ro provide atotA of.297 parking spaces on both the Holy Cross and
maintenance sites. If the conclusion of the Town of Vail and Vail Resoru is not to Dursue a
parking strarcture at this location, then the FtrolyCross Lor will be paved according to the
proposed plan byNovember of 2005.
In order to facilitate the construction of this parking area, two minor variances musr also be
approved. A variance from the interior landscape riquireme nt Q lIO sq. ft. required , 4,828
sq. ft. proposed) wil again be necessary and a snow storage variance Q2,231sq. ft. required,
17,922 sq. ft. (plus 9,554 sq. ft. temponry) proposed) will be required in order to maximize
the amount of emplope parking being provided.
Along with the parking improvements, Vail Resons is also proposing laneage improvemenu
to the South Frontage Road that will improve traffic flow and reduce vehicular conJlicts in
this area. These roadwayimprovements also include a 10'wide separated bicple path on the
south side of the road. CDOT has approved the proposed improvements and has issued
permits to begin this work
Extensive landscape and drainage improvements around the perimeter of both the ltroly
Cross and maintenance site. The proposed landscaping will screen the new and existrng
uses.
The proposed parking area is proposed to offset the "no net loss" of parking as required by
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
Only minor cosmetic changes are proposed to the ldaintenance Gnter uses as part of this
parking proposal and therefore tJrose improvements will generallyremain as theyexist today.
The Town of Vail is a coapplicant on this project as a portion of the land being used for
parking is an old remaining piece of the Red Sandstone right-of-waythat was abandoned
vfien I-70 was constructed in the 1970's. This right-of-wayused to connect llghway6 to

2.Description of the Proiect
Backgrcund
ltrolyCross Parcel (Iraa A)
vail fusora obtained title p_ $9 lloly Goss parcel in 1995. prior to obtaining ownenhip of
the parcel, Vail Resons and Holy-Goss Electric used the site for storage of ve"hicles and'
eguipqent' In 1990 the Town of Vail approved a conditional *e p.ttiit and variances to
allowthe site ro be udlized for parking and storage of FlolyGoss Ehcrric equipment. That
"pptju.d
allowed for 101 unpaved paddng spaces to be criated. This approval hCI since
e4pired.
In 2001, the Town of Vail.approved a conditional lse permit for the site to be used again for
vehigle storage as q/ell as the storage of landscape equipment and materials for Fitz arid
G.)iord Landscaping. This approval allovzed use of the same area of land as the 1990
approval but this approval limited the number of stored vehicles to Z0 (drese vehicles are no
longer stored gnsfie). The approval allowed the parking surface to be unpaved. This
approval has since expired.
Last fall the PEC approved an unpaved employee parking area on this site with a
condition that the owner return with a permanent paved parking solution by November
2004.
Maintenance Gnter (ftact B)
In 1993 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit allowing an e4pansion of the
vail Resoru Maintenance Gnter. That expansion allowed a buildingaddftion, which
contained offices,_ meeting areas, locker rooffis, and storage. The parking requirement for
the uses proposed on-siJe was 57 parking spaces. Thjs was based upon iL. r-cu"l emplope
cowrt on tJre largest shift for the site. \I?hile there have been changes ro the operatio" of the
maintenance center over the last 13 yean (i.e., more snowcars stored on the mountain) rhe
number of employees generated bytie uses on the site remains at 52.
Prcjecthmponent
fu stated above, the projea includes a general cleanup and improvement of the Fl,cly Goss
parcel and maintenance center. lvlanyof the overall projea components do not require PEC
approval as they are maintenance items. The proposed plan re-organizes and provides
additional parking spaces on the Holy Goss parcelfor 234 additional parkingipaces (291
proposed for both sites, 57 required for existing uses). This provides parking for all of the
emplope spaces found on the \flest Daylot (160 spaces) and a porrion of the parking
proposed to be displaced from dre Nonh Daylot (105 spaces existing).
The proposed parking area will be accessed from within the lvfaintenance Crnter from tlre

See the s1t9 plan for a depiction of these improvements. The applicant is also proposing a
separated bicple path adjacent to the ER\{ED site on the south side of the roid. -cDor
has issued a permit for this path as well.
CDOT has approved a new driveway for snowcats to cross the South Frontage Road and
to allow an additional exit for cars. This new snowcat access will improve the function
and general conditions of Forest Road, which has been a goal of the Town for some time.
Pedesrian access and circuladon vdll occur intemal to the site and cross the Souh Frontage
Road at the intenecdon vdth Vest Lioruhead Circle to the exisring sidewalk located on the
south side of \flest Lionshead Circle and the west side of the South Frontage Road. A
painted crosswalk and signage will be provided at this locarion to alert the motorisr rc the
Presence of pedestrians. This will allow emplopes to have a safe and protecred roure !o
Lionshead.
A ponion of the proposed parking lot is being developed within the Town's Red Sandstone
right-of-way parcel, which divides Tract A and B as well as on a parcel owned by CDOT. In
order to facilitate this project, the Tou'n is coapplicant and is allbwing the use of this parcel.
Vail Resoru is in the process of obtaining ownenhip of both of these parcels.
Inte ri o r L a nds c ape Va ri a n c e
As stated previously, the applicant is seeking a variance from the interior landscape
requirement for this parking area. A variance was granted for unpaved parking with the
November 2003 approval but it was unclear as to whether this variance transferred to the
permanent improvements. The interior landscape requirement requires that l0% of the
paved area include "islands" oflandscape to help beautiff parking areas. The current
proposal provides 4,828 sq. tt. (6.5%) of internal landscaping whereas 7,410 sq. ft. (10%)
is required.
Internal landscaping is an important need in commercial developments that invite the
general public. This type oflandscaping helps reduce the impact oflarge expanses of
pavement and generally helps to screen parking within a parking lot. Most commercial
parking lots are very open to the view of passing motorists as customers are being
attracted to the site. In this case an employee parking area is being provided for ski
mountain operation. The lot is not available to the general public and is located in a rnore
industrial area of Vail. The site is proposed to have extensive perimeter screening with
Varl Resorts - I'oly Cross P arktnq
Maurrello ?lannnq Group, LLC
..f
new and mature plant materials. So the effect of the variance is minimized due to
location, the use ofthe lot, and the extensive landscape screening that is occurring.
Additionally, internal landscaping reduces the number of parking spaces that can be
provided. Employee and guest parking has been an issue in Vail for the last 10 or more
years. The goal of the Town to provide adequate parking would seem to out weigh the
necessity for intemal landscaping.
Snow Storage
The Town ofVail development standards require that an area equal to 30yo ofpaved
parking areas be provided as snow storage. The proposed plan provides 17,922 sq. ft.
(24%) of snow storage, which is 4,309 sq. ft. short of the required storage area. This site
is unique in that owner is in the business of plowing, shaping, and moving snow and
therefore the owner has the ability to remove snow from the site soon after a storm event.
In addition to providing 17,922 sq. ft. of permanent snow storage, the owner is providing
a temporary snow storage area(9,554 sq. ft.) where snow can be piled until it can be
removed by a truck. This area along with the permanent snow storage areas is 5,245 sq.
ft. in excess of the amount of storage required by the Town's development standards.
This applicant is requesting a variance to allow for partial snow removal rather than
storing 100% on-site and has demonstrated a unique ability to perform this removal.
Unpaved Parking
The Town of Vail staff has requested that we not mover forward with paving the parking
area until there has been ample time to explore the opportunity to provide structured
parking on this site. Pursuant to the Town's request, Vail Resorts is requesting a variance
to allow the parking to be unpaved until November 2005. If over the next year it is
concluded that a parking structure is not feasible at this location, Vail Resorts agrees to
pave the parking lot according to the approved plan without further action necessary by
the Planning and Environmental Commission.

SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Braun and Associates, is requesting a
conditional use permit to allow employee parking at the "Holy Cross' Lot, 923 and
862 South Frontage Road West, and is requesting two variances: a deviation from
the minimum landscaping requirement associated with Off-Street Parking and
Loading areas and a deviation from the paving requirement associated with Off-
Street Parking and Loading areas. Pending approval from the Planning and
Environmental Commission, the lot will begin in its use as a parking lot in mid-
November, 2003. Staff is recommending approval of these requests subject to the
findings and conditions outlined in Section lX of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Braun and Associates, is requesting a
conditional use permit in accordance with Section 12-71-5, Vail Town Code, to allow
for a private parking lot on the Holy Cross site. Additionally, the applicant is
requesting the following: a variance from Title 14, Section 5 of the Development
Standards Handbook, to allow for a deviation from the minimum interior landscaped
area of 10% that is required for an unenclosed off-street parking area containing 15
or more spaces; and a variance from Title 14, Section 5 of the Development
Standards Handbook, to allow for the construction of an unpaved, gravel parking
surface at the site located at 923 South Frontage Road WesUTract A.
The site on which the parking lot is proposed is complicated for several reasons. A
portion of the proposed parking lot is being developed within the Town's Red
Sandstone right-of-way parcel which divides Tract A and B as well as on a parcel
owned by CDOT. Vail Resorts will be working with CDOT to obtain their permission
to use the portion of the parcel that is owned by CDOT.
The current request will allow this unpaved parking area for the 2003-2004 ski
season as the frrsf of two phases of a larger, more permanent project, eventually
leading to necessary roadside improvements, the paving of both Tract A and Tract B,
and up to 295 additional parking spaces for Vail Resorts. The benefit of the
relocation of employee parking spaces from the West Day Lot to the Holy Cross site
would be the relocation of day skier vehicle traffic from along the South Frontage
Road lo the West Day Lot, which is directly to the South of the Frontage Road. The
applicant believes that the use of this site as a parking area for Vail Resorts'
employees results in eventually providing increased parking options to the Town of
Vail for public parking.
The conditional use and variance requests apply to the area of the maintenance site
directly west of the buildings that currently store Vail Resorts' equipment and
vehicles (Tract A). Vail Resorts has begun to facilitate the clean-up of the Holy
Cross parcel by removing vehicles'stored'on the site, improving the visual apsects
of the site remarkably.
Phase 1 of the project, if approved, will provide 140 parking spaces (only 20 spaces
less than currently exist at the West day lot), and will be open to Vail Resorts'
employees only. Phase 2 of the project will accommodate approximately 166
employee spaces depending on final layout, and therefore replace all of the West
Day Lot parking.
Vehicle access will be from the South Frontage Road entrance to the Maintenance
Center. The entrance will be controlled by a card-reading gate on the east side of the
lot, to the northwest of the maintenance site entrance that is opposite Forest Road.
According to the applicant, 'pedestrian access and circulation will occur internal to
the site and cross the South Frontage Road at the intersection with Forest Road to
the existing pedestrian path located on the south side of the South Frontage Road.
A painted crosswalk and signage will be provided at this location to alert the motorist
to the presence of pedestrians. This will allow employees to have a safe and
protected route to Lionshead.'
Grading has occurred on the site to facilitate improved drainage on the site so that
runoff will not drain directly into the adjacent Redsandstone Creek. Fire truck access
will be from the South Frontage Road, through the cut in the existing berm, which
was a result of one of the conditions of approval from the previous Planning and
Environmental Commission hearing concerning parking as a conditional use at this
location.
Limits of disturbance fencing will be placed around the area to be graded in order to
protect the existing vegetation near the creek. Snow storage has been designated
on the site plan and will exist largely on the north side of the lot. The applicant has
been advised to provide breaks in the permanent silt fencing, or the temporary limits
of disturbance fence, if necessary, to accommodate large amounts of snow without
damaging the protective fencing.
ilt.
Directional signage has been proposed by the applicant and will be discussed further
should a conditional use permit be approved.
Therefore, the construction of the proposed unpaved parking lot requires the review
of two applications. The first application includes two variance requests: to construct
the parking lot with an unpaved, gravel surface, and without the landscaping required
under Parking Structure Design Standards. The second application is for a
conditional use permit to construct the parking lot under the Lionshead Mixed Use ll
zone district requirements.
BACKGROUND
Holy Cross Parcel (Tract A)
Prior to Vail Resorts' 1995 purchase of Tract A, the parcel proposed to be used as a
parking area for Phase 1, the lot was used by Vail Resorts and Holy Cross Electric
for vehicle and equipment storage. The use of the lot as a storage site, as well as
the creation of 101 unpaved parking spaces, was approved by the Town of Vail
through a conditional use permit and related variances in 1990. However, afterthe
approval expired in 2001, a conditional use permitforan unpaved parking area was
again applied for and approval was granted by the Town. The site was used for
landscape equipment and material storage for Fitz and Gaylord landscaping and
vehicle storage for Vail Resorts (70 unpaved spaces). This approval lapsed in July
of 2003. A historical concern about the use of this lot has beens the storage of
abandoned vehicles and junk on the site. To mitigate this concern a landscaped
berm was required to buffer the site from the Frontage Road. Recently the site has
been cleared of abondoned vehicles and junk. ln addition, drainage has been
improved to prevent direct run-off to Red Sandstone
Maintenance Center (Tract B)
In 1993 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit allowing an expansion of
the Vail Resorts Maintenance Center. That expansion allowed a building addition
which contained offices, meeting areas, locker rooms, and storage. Along with that
approval the Town allowed 129 employee parking/snowcat parking spaces. This
conditional use permit is still valid for the operation there today. These 129 spaces
allowed by the 1993 approval are provided in the proposed plan for the site.

12-7 Lionshead Mixed Use 2 (LMU-2) District:
12-71-1: PURPOSE:
The Lionshead Mixed Use 2 District is intended to provide sites for a mixture
of multiple-family dwellings, lodges, hotels, fractional fee clubs, time shares,
lodge dwelling units, restaurants, offices, skier services, light industrial
activities, and commercial establishments in a clustered, unified
development. Lionshead Mixed Use 2 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 District 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.
Additionally, the incentives are created to help finance public, off-site,
improvements adjacent to redevelopment projects. Public amenities which
will be evaluated with redevelopment proposals taking advantage of the
incentives created herein may include: streetscape improvements,
pedestrian/bicycle access, public plaza redevelopment, public art, roadway
improvements, and similar improvements. (Ord. 3(1999) g 2)

1 2-1 6-1 : PURPOSE: Ll MITATIONS:
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this
title, specified uses are permifted in certain disfricls subject to the granting of
a conditional use permit. Because of their unusual or special characteistics,
conditional uses require review and evaluation 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 sunounding properties and the town at large.
Uses lsfed as conditional uses in the various districfs may be permifted
subject to such conditions and limitations as the town may prescribe to
ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses will be in
accordance with development objectives of the town and will not be
detrimental to other uses or propefties. Where conditions cannot be devised
to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permits shall be
denied. (Ord. 8(1973) S 18.100)
12-17 Variances (in paft)
12-17-1: PURPOSE:A. Reasons For Seeking Variance: ln order to prevent or fo /essen such
practical difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the
objectives of this title as would result from strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or
dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon; from
topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or
from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate
vicinity. Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance
with a regulation shall not be a reason for granting a variance.
12-17-7: PERMIT APPROVAL AND EFFECT:
Approval of the variance shall lapse and become void if a building permit is
not obtained and construction not commenced and diligently pursued toward
completion within two (2) years from when the approval becomes final. (Ord.
48 (1991) $ 2: Ord. 16(1978) 5 5(c))
12-17-8: RELATED PERMITS AND REQUIREMENTS:
ln addition to the conditions which may be prescribed pursuant to this
chapter, any site or use subject to a variance permit shall also be subject to
all other procedures, permits, and requirements of this and other applicable
chapters and regulations of the town. In event of any conflict between the
provisions of a variance permit and other permit or requirement, the more
restrictive provision shall prevail. (Ord. 8(1973) S 19.900)

with cross-access or shared parking facilities, the landscape border between
the development shall not be required.
Lionshead Master Plan
The Lionshead Master Plan, adopted December 15, 1998, references the
proposed use and specifically the Holy Cross site in the following sections:
Section 3.9: "The ground rules of the Lionshead master plan state that future
redevelopment will not cause a net loss of parking.
Section 3.2.5.3: Vail Associates Service Yard
The Vail Associates service yard, bordered by the South Frontage
Road on the east and south and Red Sandstone Creek on the west,
currently contains a wide variety of mountain operation functions such
as snowcat sewice and fueling, warehouse storage, and maintenance
shops. l4/hile the service yard is critical to Vail Associates' mountain
operations there is a strong interest on the part of the Town of Vail to
see the majority of thesefacilities relocated on-mountain. According
to Vail Associates it may be possible to relocate many of the facilities,
but the snow cqt service and fueling operations must remain at or near
its current location.
Seclion 3.9. 4 Vail Associates Employee Parking
Vail Associates cunently utilizes two large surface parking lots within
the study area for its employee parking needs. The north day lot (see
figure 3-15), with a capacity of approximately 105 cars, is located
behind the Landmark tower and is the site proposed for a
transportation center. The west day lot, located just west of the
Mariott parking structure, has an approximate capacity of 160 cars
and represents a significant development oppoftunity. Pa*ing
vt.
displaced by redevelopment of these sifes must be replaced within the
Lionshead study area to satisfy the ground rule requiring no nef /oss
of parking.
Section 4.8.3.3 Potential New Parkine Sites
a. Ll/est Lionshead/Vail Resorts Maintenance Site
The construction a second public parking structure at the west end of
Lionshead has been a planning consideration since the completion of
the Vail Transportalion Master plan in I991 . This site is currently
undeveloped (exceptfor the Vail Associates maintenonce yard) and is
large enough to meet projected parking demand. It is well located in
relation to the potential new eastbound I-70 access ramps. Potential
logistical hurdles to the use of this site are asfollows:

V!II. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR REVIEW
Conditional Use Permit
In order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of the Zoning
Regulations, 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 and evaluation 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 and 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 ensure that the location and operation of the conditional uses
will be in accordance with 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.
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 development objectives of the
town.
Staff believes that the proposed parking area, though unpaved and not
landscaped, will still have a positive impact on the development objectives of
the Town. The previous two conditional use permit approvals by the PEC
(1990 and 2001) demonstrate that the site is well-suited as a parking area in
addition to providing temporary relief of the existing parking problem in the
winter and a more attractive alternative to the current use of the site for
equipment and vehicle storage.
The Lionshead Master Plan also states in Section 3.9.4 that Parking
displaced by redevelopment on the West Day Lot and North Day lot'must be
replaced within the Lionshead study area to satisfr the ground rule requiring
no nel /oss of parking."
Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs.
Staff believes the proposed parking area will have a positive impact on the
above criteria. The proposed parking area will provide a safer parking
opportunity for visitors who have previously parked on the South Frontage
Road. The functionality of the South Frontage Road will therefore be
improved during peak winter days.
Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive
and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access,
2.
3.
ll
maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking
areas.
Staff believes that the proposed parking area will have a positive impact on
the above criteria. Because this parking lot will be used by employees who
have previously parked at the West Day Lot, the West Day Lot will then be
available to accomodate public parking that would have otherwise occurred
on the South Frontage Road. With the reduction of parking on the South
Frontage Road will come reduced congestion, increased safety for
employees and skiers, and improved traffic flow.
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 above criteria are not relevant to the proposed parking area as there are
no buildings associated with this proposal.
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings
before granting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes of this
Title and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
Title.
Variance
In order to prevent or to lessen such practical difficulties and unnecessary physical
hardships inconsistent with the objectives of this title as would result from strict or
literal interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be
granted. A practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the
size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon;
from topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or.
from other physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity.
Cost or inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation
shall not be a reason for granting a variance.
The applicant has requested a variance from Title 14 Chapter 5 of the Development
Standards Handbook, Parking Lot and Parking Structure Design Standards For All
Uses. According to Title 14 Chapter 5
"All parking areas shall be an improved suiace."
l2
o
Furthermore, it states;
"Nof /ess than 10% of the interior surface area of unenclosed off-street
parking areas containing 15 or more parking spaces shall be devoted to
landscaping. In addition, landscape borders not /ess than 10 feet in depth
shall be provided at all edges of parking lots containing 30 or more parking
spaces. A landscape berm, wal[ or fence of not /ess than 4 feet in height, of
the same architectural sfy/e as the building, in combination with landscaping
may be substituted for the landscape border. ln developments wifh cross-
access or shared parking facilities, the landscape border between the
development shall not be required."
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the continued use of a gravel
surfaced parking facility with no interior landscaping.
Section 12-17-6, Criteria and Findings, of the Vail Town Code, prescribes the criteria
to be used by the Planning and Environmental Commission when considering a
request for a variance. According to Section 12-17-6, Criteria and Findings,
Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental
Commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested
variance:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
Generally speaking, the proposed parking area will have little to no negative
affect on uses and structures in the vicinity. The proposal will allow the Town
of Vail and Vail Resorts more time to develop additional parking for the
public. Allowing an unpaved surface makes the public parking solution less
urgent, as the West Day Lot would be available for public parking.
Additionally, the use of this property, "in this quasi-industrial area of Vail', has
historically been for vehicle and equipment storage. Therefore, the
continuance of this site as a parking area should not be problematic.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or 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 grant of special privilege.
Staff believes that the proposed parking area will be a major benefit to the
community in providing a safer experience for visitors by reducing the number
of days and the number of vehicles parked on the Frontage Road. A
requirement to immediately install an improved paved surface would not
permit this proposal to work in the short time frame that exists to help address
the skier parking problem yet this year. Additionally, the parking area is
proposed to be paved as a part of Phase 2 of the project. Because these
variances are sought to help provide a solution to the public parking condition
throughout the Town, their approval should not be seen as granting a special
privilege. The circumstances of the proposed uses and the variances
required to make them happen are very unique and common only to very few
l-f
sites within the Town of Vail. To reduce the degree of relief asked for in this
request, staff would recommend that the conditional use permit only be
allowed for one year from the date of this approval. Staff has also considered
thal40o/o of Tract A, l-70 property, and the TOV Right of Way will remain
undisturbed and landscaoed.
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.
The proposed variances will allow parking facilities on private property (i.e.
the West Day Lot) to become available to the public, thereby reducing
parking on the South Frontage Road and improving the function of the South
Frontage Road during peak days. Additionally, the proposed variances
include the clean-up of one of the Town's least attractive sites. The proposed
parking area will have little, if any, on the remainder of the above criteria.
The maintenance of the berm and maintaining the riparian area of Red
Sandstone creek is critical in buffering the site from adjacent land uses.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the Gommission deems applicable to
the proposed variance.
The planning and environmental commission shall make the following findings before
granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the followino reasons:
a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the site of the variance that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same district.

tx.STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and
Environmental Commission approves with conditions the request for a final review
of a variance from Title 14, Chapter 5, Parking Lot and Parking Structure Design
Standards for All Uses, to allow for a deviation from the minimum landscape area
requirement and to construct an unpaved, gravel parking surface, and a request for a
conditional use permit to allow the construction of a private parking lot at the Holy
Cross Site, located at 923 and 862 South Frontage Road WesUTract A, Tract B, l-70
R.OW. Parcel 268, and Red Sandstone Rd Parce 1.

Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve with
conditions the applicant's requests, staff recommends that the following findings be
made as part of the motion:
Conditional Use Permit
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following
findings before granting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the temporary parking facility is in
accordance with the purposes of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations
and the purposes of the Lionshead Mixed Use 2 zone district.
2. That the proposed location of the temporary parking area and the
conditions under which it will be operated and maintained will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the temporary parking facility will comply with each of the
applicable provisions of the Town of Vail Zoning Regulations
Variance
The planning and environmental commission shall make the following
findings before granting a variance:
That the granting of the parking lot suiace and landscape variance
will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
Iimitations on other propefties in the General Use zone district as the
applicant is proposing compliance with the applicable elements of the
Town's planning documents.
That the granting of the parking lot surface and landscape variance
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
That the variance is warranted for the following reason:
The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the parking lot
suiace and landscape area regulation would deprive the applicant of
pivileges enjoyed by the owners of other propefties in the General
Use zone district given the amount of hardscape area required on the
development site to comply with the applicable planning documents of
the Town of Vail.

Introduction
Summary of Proposal
Vail Resorts, working in cooperation with the Town of Vail and the Parking Taskfotce, has
developed several recommendations for both short-term and long-term solutions to reduce
the amount of skier parking occuring on the Soutl Frontage Road. One of the shott-term
solutions recommended for this ski season is to relocate the employee parking that occurs
on the !7est Day Lot to the Holy Cross parcel across the street. In tum, Vail Resorts is
making the West Day Lot available to the Town of Vail for public parking. Thc West Day
I-othas tneTUfnty to park f6Oletietesth-atrnzyordinardy be parked along th. South
Frontage Road.
In order to facilitate the use of the West Day Lot for public patking, Vail Resorts is
submitting a conditional use and vaitnce applications to fzcil-itate the clcan-up of the Holy
Cross parcel by removing vehicles "stored" on the site and providing an efficient patking lot
capable of parking 140 additional vehicles Q69 totil for site). l-tre new gain in pafting
replaces t}le employce parking spaces previously located on the West Day Lot.
2.
The current request (a conditional use permit for parking and a variance request for unpaved
parking with no interior landscaping) will allow this unpaved parking zae^ fot the 2003-2004
ski season as phase 1 of a larger, mote petmanent ptoiect. No changes are proposed to the
Maintenance Center uses as patt of this parking proposal. The existing vehicle storage and
landscape equipment stotage have been removed from the site.
Phase 2 of the project will ptovide approximately 166 additional parking spaces (295 total)
depending on 6nal layout. The proposal will also pave the parking area and address any
roadway improvements necessary for the site. Prior to May 2004 an application for a
complete redevelopment of the parking on this site will be submitted to the Town for review
and approval. The current schedule is to have the permanent solution (phase 2) completed
by November 2004.
The Town of Vail is a co-applicaot on this project as a portion of the land being used for
parking is an old remaining piece of the Red Sandstone right-of-way which used to connect
Highway 6 to Potato Patch priot to the existence of Interstate 70. This right-of-way parcel
has been used by VaiI Resorts and Holy Ctoss Electric for parking and storage for the past
15 yeats or more.
I{ey Elements of the Ptoposal
Key elements of the plan include:
. Improved safety and function of the South Frontage Road
. Improved parking capacity for skiers
r Improved organization and function of existing employee parking facility
e First step in a long-term redevelopment of propety and replacement of
employee parking in Lionshead
Description of the Project
Baclcgtound
Holy Cross Parcel ffract A)
Vail Resorts obtained tide to the Holy Cross parcel in 1995. Prior to obtaining ownetship of
the parcel, Vail Resorts and Holy Cross Electric used the site for storage of vehicles and
equipment. In 1990 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit and variances to
allow the site to be utilizsd for parking and storage of Holy Cross Electric equipment. That
approval aliowed for 101 unpaved parking spaces to be created. This approval has since
expired.
In 2001, the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit for the site to be used again for
vehicle storage as well as the storage of landscape equipment and materials for Fitz and
Gaylord Landscaping. This approval allowed use of the same area of land as the 1990
approval but this approval limited the number of stored vehicles to 70 (these vehicles are no
Ionger stored onsite). The approval allowed the parking swface to be unpaved. This
approval has since expired.
Maintenance Center flract B)
in 1993 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit allowing an expansion of the
Vail Resots Maintenance Center. That expansion allowed a building addition which
contained offices, meeting areas, Iocker rooms, and storage. Along with that approval the
Town allowed 129 employee parking/snowcat parking spaces. This conditional use permit
-
are provided in the proposed plan for the site.
Project Components
As stated above, the project includes a genetal clean-up of the Holy Ctoss parcel and
maintenance center. Many of the overall project components do not require PEC approval
as they are maintenance items and therefore some of this wotk is currently being performed
on the site. The proposed plaln re-organizes and provides additional parking spaces on the
Holy Cross parcel sitc for 140 additional parking spaces (269 total). This provides parking
fot 140 of the 160 employee spaces found on the West Day Lot and therefore there will be a
temporary shortage of 20 parking spaces. The Phase 2 proiect will accommodate
approximate\ 166 employee spaces depending on final layout, and therefore teplace all of
the rWest Day Lot parking.
Thc proposed parking area rvill be accessed from within the Maintenance Center from the
existing entrance on the South Frontage Road. fhe parking area will be further controlled
with a gate to prevent trespass and to monitor the use of the lot.
The parking lot is proposed to be unpaved and the applicant is seeking relief ftom the
interiot parking lot landscape requirement in order to maxjtrnize the number of parking
spaces. Phase 2 of the project is to pave all of the parking, provide additional parking
spaces, and make any flecessary roadway imProvements.
Pedestrian access and circulation will occur internal to the site and ctoss the South Frontage
Road at the intersection with Forest Road to the existing pedestrian path located on the
south side of the South Frontage Road. A painted ctossrvalk and signage will be ptovided at
this location to alert the motorist to the presence of pedestdans. This will allow employees
to have a safe and protected route to Lionshead.
A potion of the proposed parking lot is being developed within the Town's Red Sandstone
right-of-way parcel which divides Tract A and B as well as on a parcel owned by CDOT. In
order to facilitate this project, the Town is co-applicant and is allowing the use of this parcel.
Vail Resorts will be working with CDOT to obtain their petmission to use a portion of the
parcel owned by CDOT.

Re: Holy Cross Applications
Thanks Dominic:
I just left you a message about some of the things we discussed this morning:
1)limits of disturbance noted on the site plan
2)existing vs. proposed grade, not just proposed
3)change in gate location
4)berm change on soulhem side of lot
5)location of proposed snow storage
That's all I can think of now, though I have scheduled the application for DRT tomorrow morning and will
let you know the resulls of that meeting once it occurs. Discussion of grading, etc. will ensue with Charlie
Davis directly. I also had a couple of questions, though not urgent ones, about the parking numbers. I
am either doing my math wrong or misunderstanding the allocation of spots between Tracts A and B.
Thanks much!

I left you a voicemail. I want to make sure you have all of the materials required for this conditional use
and variance application. Has an application of any kind been submitted or any fee?
I would like to submit whatever is missing on Monday. That includes (l think):
Variance Application forms and fees (if conditional use is missing, submit that too) Title report Plan
showing phase 1 (temporary unpaved parking) Plan showing future phase 2 (permanent solution and
improvements. This will be submitted for review by March of next year with an anticipated construction
stiart next summer) Survey of property Written document explaining the project and addressing criteria (l
might need until Tuesday on this).That should be everything you need. Let me know if there is something
else you need.
Will my schedule work for you?

Hi Elisabeth:
I left you a voicemail. I want to make sure you have all of the materials required for this conditional use
and variance application. Has an application of any kind been submifted or any fee?
I would like to submit whatever is missing on Monday. That includes (l think):
a.. Variance Application forms and fees (if conditional use is missing, submit that ioo)
b.. Title report
c.. Plan showing phase 1 (temporary unpaved parking)
d.. Plan showing future phase 2 (permanent solution and improvements. This will be submitted for
review by March of next year with an anticipated construction start next summer)
e.. Survey of property
f.. Written document explaining the project and addressing criteria (l might need until Tuesday on this).
That should be eve$hing you need. Let me knor if there is something else you need.
Will my schedule work for you?
Thanks,

1.Introduction
Sununaty of Proposal
Vail Resorts, working in cooperation with the Town of Vail and the Parking Taskforce, has
developed several recommendations for both short-term and long-term solutions to reduce
the amount of skier parking occuring on the South Frontage Road. One of the short-term
solutions tecommended for this ski season is to relocate the employee parking that occuts
on the@1p4y Lot to the Holy Cross Patcel actoss the steet. Iri tum, Vail Resorts is
making the West Day Lot available to the Town of Vail for public parking. The West Day
Lot has the ability to park 160 vehicles that may ordinarily be pa*ed along the South
Frontage Road.
In order to facilitate tte use of the \West Day Lot for public parking, Vail Resorts is
submitting a conditional use and vaganlg,_alptigeflons to facilitate the clean-up of the Holy
Cross patcel and the Nlaintenance Center by removrg&*€kictgs-^btq$ed" on the site and
providing an efhcient parking lot capable of parld4g277 vehicles. 'Dhe new gain in patking
replaces the employee parking spaces previously locaFcl6fiFe $7est Day Lot.
The current reouest /a conditionaLr:se-sermit for parking anC a-variancc reouest for unpaved
parking with no interior landscaping) will allow thiFunpaved parking area for the 2003-2004
ski season as phase 7 of a larger, more permanent proiect. 4ll existing Maintenance Center
uses are being maintain.d *i4:hit p:qpqt"]. The edsdng@
e@prnent storage arc being removed from the site.eqwpment storage are bemg removed trom the stte. _ ,. L11
Phase 2 of the project will provide additional parking ,r^rr@I$]!r. tt't" p".Li'g
area, improve parking surface on the remainder of the site @bream'ce Center), and
address zny road.wzy improvements necessary for the site. Prior to Mry 2004 an application
for a complete tedevelopment of the parking on this site will be submitted to the Town for
review and approval. The current schedule is to have the permanent solution (phase 2)
completed by November 2004.
The Town of Vail is a co-applicant on this project as a portion of the land being used for
parking is an old remaining piece of the Red Sandstone right-of-way which used to connect
Highway 6 to Potato Patch prior to the existence of Interstate 70. This right-of-way parcel
has been used by Vail Resorts and Holy Cross Electric for parking and storage for the past
1 5 years or more .
Key Elements of the Prcposal
Key elements of the plan include:
. Improved safery and function of the South Frontage Road 1o Improved parking capacity for skiers t n Wasr nt Li)
. Improved organization and function of existing employee parking facility
r First step in a long-term redevelopment of property and replacement of
employee parking in Lionshead
2.Description of the Proiect
'ail Resorts ob-tained tide to the Holy Cross parcel in 1995. Prior to obtaining ownership of
the parcel, Vail Resons and Holy Cross Electric used the site for storage of vehicles and
equipment. In 1990 the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit and variances to
allow the site to be utilized for parking and storage of Holy Cross Electric equipment. That
approval allowed for 101 unpaved parking spaces to be cteated. This approval has since
exoired.
In 2001, the Town of Vail approved a conditional use permit for the site to be used again for
veh-icle storage as well as the storage of landscape equipment and materials for Fitz and
Gaylord Landscaping. This approval allowed use of the same area of land as the 1990
approval but this approval limited the number of stored vehicles to 70 (these vehicles are no
longer stored onsite). The approval allowed the parking sutface to be unpaved. This
approval has since expired.
In 1993 the Town ofW approved a conditional use permit allowing an expansion of the
Vail Resorts Maintenance Center. That expansion allowed a buildine addition whicha
rry^h{"
W
il*d,%q
contained offices, meeting areas, locker rooms, and storage. Along with that approval the
Town allowed 129 employee parking/snowcat parking spaces. This conditional use permit
is still valid for the operation there today. These 129 spaces allowed by the 1993 approval
are provided in the proposed plan for the site.
Ptoject Components
As stated above, the project includes a general clean-up of the Holy Cross parcel and
malntenance center.of the overall proi ts do not PEC val
as they are maintenanle items and therefote some of this work is
-
ed
on the site. The proposed plan re-organizes and provides additional parking spaces on the
Holy Cross parcel and Maintenance Center site for a total of 277 pall<tng spaces. This
provides parking for 148 of the 160 employee spaces found on the West Day Lot. The
Phase 2 project will accommodate 166 employee spaces, and therefore there will be a
temporary shortage of 12 parking spaces.
The proposed parking area will be accessed from the South Frontage Road and controlled
with a gate. The Maintenance Center will continue to be acqss from the South Fronage
Road opposite the intersection of Forest Road. The easter{/iost access to the Maintenance
Center will be closed as part of the cleanup work being donE to tLis site.
The pa*ing lot is proposed to be unpaved and the applicant is seeking relief from the
interior parking lot landscape requirement in order to maximize the number of parking
spaces. Phase 2 of the project is to pave all of the parking, provide additional parking spaces
Q94 total spaces), and !nu-u- f'lo LhlF4Afits[4-
4 Pedestrian access and circulation will occur internal to the site and cross the South
tA '-_../Frontage Road at the intersection with Forest Road to the existing pedestrian path located
T0' - on the south side of the South Frontage Road. This will allow employees to have a safe
and protected route to Lionshead.
A portion of the proposed parking lot is being developed within the Town's Red Sandstone
right-of-way parcel which divides Tract A and B as well as on a parcel owned by CDOT. In
order to facilitate this project, the Town is co-applicant and is allowing the use of this parcel.
Vail Resorts will be working with CDOT to obtain their permission to use a portion of the
oarcel owned bv CDOT.

3. The maximum number of vehicles parked on the site shall not exceed sevenly
(70) at any given time.
IV. REQUIRED CRITERIA AND FINDINGS - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
A. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the
Town.
Zonino: The subject property is zoned "Lionshead Mixed Use 2." This
zoning designation allows commercial slorage and vehicle storage at
street level, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit.
Seclion 1 2-1 6-7(AX9), Vail Town Code, sets parameters for the
commercial storage of vehicles for transportation businesses. Pursuant
to this section:
. All vehicles shall be adequately screened from public rights of way
and adjacent properties, consisting of landscaping berms, in
combination with walls and fences, where deemed necessary to
reduce the deleterious effects of vehicle storage."
. The number. size and location of vehicles oermitled to be stored shall
be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission based
on the adequacy of the site for vehicle slorage. Consideration shall
be given to the adequacy of landscaping and other screening
methods to prevent impacts lo adjacent properties and other
commercial and/or residential uses.
Land Use Plan: The Vail Land Use Plan places a designation of
"Community Office" on this property. These areas '\rvill affect a transition
from the more inlense commercial and resort uses to less intense uses
outside of these areas."
The proposed use is not in accord with the basic intended uses outlined
under this land use designation. However, it is important to note this type
of use is not prescribed in any of the land use designations outlined in the
Vail Land Use Plan. Staff believes the applicant's proposal addresses a
short-term community need. Given the proximity of this lot (and the
adjacent VA shops site) to the ski mountain, staff believes this proposal is
an adequate transitional use of the site in the immediate term. lt is
anticipated the site will be developed for a more permanent use in the
near future.
Given the conditions suggested above, staff believes the proposed uses
would be compatible with the Town of Vail's established development
objectives.
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.
Staff believes this proposal will have minimal impact upon the above-
listed facilities.
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.
Fitz & Gaylord Landscaping owns 12 landscaping trucks that leave the
site at 7:00 a.m. and relurn at the end of the day at 5:30 p.m. Given the
fact that customers rarely access the site, staff believes this is an
acceptable amounl of traffic. Vail Associates'storage of inactive fleet
vehicles is not a significant generator of traffic to/from the site. Staff does
not believe the existing access point presents any traffic circulation
problems along South Frontage Road. There is adequate room on sile
for snow storage needs.
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.
Staff believes the aesthetic conditions of the site need substantial
improvement. Adjacent properties (Vail Professional Office Building,
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District) maintain quality landscaping
along their respective lol perimeters. Currently old snowmobiles,
abandoned vehicles, a gasoline truck, and assorted debris are visible
along the western lot boundary of the subject property. The following
photograph shows the conditions of this portion of the site.
Staff believes additional screening in the form of a landscaped berm is necessary
to mitigate visual impacts from adjacent properties and along South Frontage
Road.
Additionally, staff believes some form of basic erosion control is needed to
prevent the silting of Red Sandstone Creek and Gore Creek. A sediment fence
could be provided at very little cost to the applicant (Fitz and Gaylord
+.
B.
Landscaping). The following photograph depicls disturbed soil on the site
adjacent to the landscaping storage operalion.
FINDINGS
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the lollowing findings
before granting a conditional use permit:
That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes
of the conditional use permil section of the zoning code and the purposes
of the district in which the site is located.
That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable
provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code.

Gordon offered to discussthe concerns and try to nake the project work. Johannes statedthat they could wait 2 weeks, but there would not be najor
changes. DaLton felt the need to study the proposal.
Kristan replied that a project of this size desetrred a thorough
study and that there vere significant issues. The proposal would
have lncredible inpact on the character of the area' She added
that the staff had been conpllmentary on nany issues. Regarding
the height and setbacks, there ltere strong concerns, but the
staff did not advocate throwing ln the towel. and forgetting theproject. She felt the issues di.d warrant review and was happythat Johannes was willlng to reconsider sorue issues.

and the vote nas 6-0 to table.
A recruest for a conditional use pernit and a variance to the
parking standards, Section 18.52 of the Town of,Vail
Municipal Code to allow off-street surface parkinq at therrHoly Cross parcelrr which is generally located on,the north
side of the South Frontaqe Road east of and imnediatelv
adjacent to Red Sandstone Creek.
Applicant: Vail Assocl.ates, rnc.
Jill Kannerer explained the request, sumnarizing that the
applicant wanted a conditional use perrait and a variance to the
p-iXing standards which required that all parking lots be paved
and landscaped.
Diana asked that a'fence be constructed to screen the lot. she
thought the snow berms to be used in screening the lot would be
dirtt and ugly. Joe Macy, of Vail Associates, stated that this
Iot had been used for parking and storage for 20 years. Kathy
asked that the unsightly fenie posts be removed from the site.
itoe responded that to do the f,ences right would reguire sinking
the fence post in a concrete base and he was reluctant to connit
to this.
Jiu stated that if the applicant grades and gravels the lot and
then plows the snow to cleate snow ber:ms the plows will Just-
ecrape up the Erave1 which would contribute to the dirty, ugly
appearance of the betm.

Just thls building. She felt a building this size needed rnore
space and added that the developer was not considering thepublic. Connie pointed out that only 40 roons were being gained
with great rnass. She felt that the building was looking even
bigger by belng so close to the property line and losing green
space. Connle stated that the helght was nearly double thatallowed. She saw no need to encroach upon the setbacks. Mike
had nentloned that uuch publlc land was being used for
Iandscaping.
Connie did feel that the Faesslers would take care of employee
houslng. She suggested that the Vail Road walk be coordinated
with the walk on Vail Road fron the Gateway proJect. She
questioned the need for the pedestrian bridge. Regardlng the
shade, Connie pointed out that not everyone would be walking near
the Sonnenalp shops. She felt that X0 setback encroachnents were
a substantial nunber and felt the there was not enough room on
the lot to construct a building of thls size. Gordon felt the
pedestrian experience would be inproved.
Diana Donovan was concerned with snow sliding off of the roof,
the traffic lanes and the need to protect the creek. She said
the pool should be pulJ.ed back and that the ternporary
construction road should not be on the south side of the lot
because of the inpact on the creek. She felt the construction
should be guleted on Saturdays and Sundays because of the
weddings and se:rrices at the Chapel . Regarding Master Plan
obJective 6.1, she was concerned about loading berths. She felt
the East Meadow side of the building needed more attention to
landscaping because it was even closer to the road than the Wf .
Jay pointed out that there was ninimal landscaping on the WI
side.
Diana felt there should be housing restricted to ernployees, that
the hotel units should be restricted so that they rernain hotel
units, and that nore attention should be paid to the sub-area
concepts. Dianats nain concern was that there litere not enoughpubfi- spaces and green spaces, especialty along Meadow Drive and
especially sl.nce the develoPer was not doing the streanwalk. She
fett ttre pedestrian bridge Itas essential and that rnore public
space was needed in front of the building; Diana feLt the
proJect had come a long way.
Johannes Faessler adnitted that the property was not perfect for
a hotel . He stated that if he were in the Board's chair, he
sould welEh the Eane concerns' but that he could never take care
of their ioncerns to everyoners satisfaction. He wanted to leave
with sorne guidance, but stated that this was the best job he
could do and that the project was close to not naking sense
econonically. He wanted to have a vote wlth a list of concerns
agreed upon. Perhaps the Eoard felt the concerns were nore
inportant than having a hotel there.
Krlstan stated that if the lot is not graveled it will be a nuddy
Eess in the spring. Tey Ryzcat< lndicated the lot had been
Eraveled 10 years ago and that there was rrroad baserr down now.
Joe stated the lot had been Ln use si.nce 1970. Dalton saw nopoint in graveling the lot now. Jirn would rather see a trade off
from graveling the lot. He would rather see a tree planted thanthe lot graveled.
Dalton lnguired as to the Townrs liability if people were injuredvhile crossing I-70 to get to the lot. He also wanted to know if
the police ticketed individuals crossing I-70.
Discussion followed concerning the habit of the Tirnber Ridge
residents walking across the Interstate and Dalton asked if the
Town of Vail could enforce the violation. Kristan stated thatllike Mollica had checked with the Vail Police Departnent and
found that they do ticket pedestrians htho cross I-70 and will
continue to do so.
Ted Ryzcak of vail Associates stated tbat there are other
residents at Tirnber Ridge who were not V.A. employees and
therefore were not.under vail Associatest control .
Kristan asked if VaiL Associates would agree to reseed at the lot
at the end of the ski season if it was deternined that the lot
would not continue to be used by v.A. or the Town for parking,
and Joe stated that he did not feel they should be asked to
reseed, because in this case, the lot had been used for parking
and storage for nany years, and rnuch gravel had been brought into
the lot. Kristan then asked if he would agree to the other 6
conditions. Joe answered that he was not supportive of reseedingor regraveling the lot and that he did not believe granting the
conditional use or variance would effect use of the lot.
Kathy l{arren moved and Connie Knight seconded to approve the
conditional use permit and the variance to the parking standards
per the staff nerno based on Findings A, B, C(1) and C(2) with the
following conditions:
1. The applicant will grade and gravel the parking lot.
2. The conditional use perrnit will be effective until May
15, 1991 or until the Town of Vail purchases the Holy
Cross site and provides vail Associates 30 day advance
written notice to vacate the parcel .
3. A11 of the mature evergreen trees wlll be protected by
snow fences.

Jilt Kamerer explained that the applicant lilas reqluesting a work
session on the Christianla Lodge in order to get sone direction
frorn tlre PEC on the following issues:
1. Density variance2. Impact of developnent on view proposed corridors
3. Layout of Parking in northern parking lot
Jilt indicated the Conrnunity Developrnent Departrnent staff thought
it was appropriate for VaiL Associates and the Christiania to
forrualize any agreenents relating to the use of Parcel P3 and
Parcel J in the northern parking lot prior to Town issuance of
any building perroits with the understanding that Vail Associates
supported the proposal, proceeding through the planning; process.
The staff would obtain approval frorn Council to proceed through
the planning process tomorrovt (LI/27/9o) during the PEC report-
She further indicated the changes to the plans since they were
last reviewed by the Planning Con:rrission lncluded:
In response to Conunission conments two weeks ago, two
parking spaces had been renoved fron the northern
parking 1ot. One of the spaces has been replaced in
the western parking Iot. This space would be a valet
space given its location in front of the dunpster. The
second space has been replaced in the drop-off area by
the porte cochere on Chateau Townhone Association owned
property.
Dunpster had been pulled back to the south,out of the
existing planter area.
The northwest corner roof line has been lowered in
response to discussions regarding the inpact of the
redevelopment on ttre proposed view corridor.
There have been sorne uodi.fications to the landscaping.
The applicant wltl connit to landscaping the northern

The worksession was called to order by Chairperson Diana Donovan at approximately
1:55PM.
Condominiums and west of the Westin Resort. Vail.
Applicant: East-West Partners
Planner: Shellv Mello
Mark Smith, Jerry Mullikin and Ned Gwathmey rcpresented the applicants.
Shelly Mello began the discussion of the proposal by stating staff believed the project needed
to be more materially compatible, a landscape plan, and a final suwey were ne€ded, and since
it was an unplatted parcel, a minor suMivision would be necessary.
Diana Donovan was unhappy that the Property would not remain oPen space' and the
Commission agreed with her.
Jim Shearer did not mind a difference in materials, and believed that the applicants should try
to "bring up" the neighbortrood.
Ludwig Kurz thought that, since there were distinct styles, urban and hotel, that compatibility
was impossible. He said he could live with the design presently submitted. He was more
concemed with both landscaping and sgeet surface materials-
Ned Gwathmey asked what the opinion of the Commission was regarding a metal roof' and
which type should it be. He advocated shake shingles stained to march the existing
surounding buildings, but did not bclieve a materid match was the best solution. He
suggested Jpraying the shake shingles to achieve a compatible roofcolor. Kathy
Langenwalter did not see a problcm in not using a metal roof, as long as the roof lincs werc
cornpatible. She suggested perhaps adding more stucco and changing the railings for a more
refined appearance of ttre building. She also believed it was important to continue the paving
pattern which was used in the Millrace project. She was concerned with the layout of the
p-j"", and thc difference in scale between the hotel and this project. She said it felt like the
east unit was very close to a large building.
Ned asked if a landscape plan would be necessary for approval. The Commissioners told him
it would.
Chuck Crist asked if employee housing would be a par:t of the development. Shelly said staff
would not require it as a condition of approval, as there was a rcduction in density from the
previously-approved plan. Chuck asked if the applicants wcrc interested in providing a
iaretaker-unit. The responded that they werr not. Shelly said staff would be supportive if
such a unit was proposed, as long as it was intcgmted into one of the proposed units.
Kathy brought up the issue of parking. Shelly explained thc proposal had 4 spaces more than
the Town required. Kathy wondered whcre guest parking would be provided. Kevin
McTavish, the manager of the existing units at Millracc, shared Kathy's concem, stating that
their project had no guest parking, and it was a major problem. Ncd asked what a rcasonablc
number of overflow parking spaces would be. He was not opposed to providing additional
parking, but indicated it would require additional paving. Kathy suggested perhaps widening
itre cirite. Ned agreed to look at diffeient possibilities for providing additional parking.
Kathy said she would prcfer to have adequate parking for the project rather than insisting the
project meet the 75% enclosed parking rcquircment.
After a general discussion regarding parking, Connie Knight asked if there wcre any problem
with thJUite path running across the project. Shelly said there should be an easement, and
agreed to check the Special Development District documents to make sure.
Kevin McTavish rpiterated that the present parking plan was inadequate'
At this time, the public meeting was begun.

Filins/365 Vail Vallev Drive.
Applicant Marear€t Hill Marital Trust
Planner: Shellv Mello
Shelly Mello explained the differences between what had been submitted for thc PEC
apprwal of the SDD, building permit and what was built, and the discrepancies. Staff asked
thit the Improvement l,ocation Certificate (ILC) and future surveys rcflect the fact that the
property lines not close. The sources of the discrepancy were attributed to thrce factors. The
first is a difference in drawings. The submitted site plans at both PEC review and building
p€rmit were soft line drawings. The I.L.C. is computer gcnerated. It is difficult to accuratcly
scalc and compare a soft line drawing and computer generated drawing at l"-20" scale. The
second source of change was generatcd by a nced to adjust the building in odcr to ensur€
that the building footen were not located in the right-of-way. The third rcason is that only 2
control points, 4 fcet from the north and 2 feet frrom the west property lines, were used in
locatingthc building through the process. Because of the non-rectilinear shape of thc lot, and
form oi the drawings, these control points were maintained, but still allowed for a slight shift
in the building. Shelly indicated that the building was slightly turned ftom what was
approvcd by the PEC, but the result was that the proximity to the view corridor was
increased. Staff believed that the shift was rcasonable.
Diana Donovan was bothercd that after thorough rcvicw by ttre PEC, the building had to be
moved in order to accommodate the foundations.
Kathy Langenwalter confrmed that the sources of the discrepancies were reasonable. After a
discussion regarding the effect of the slight change in building location, Kathy asked that the
Town copies of all surveys reflect the fact that the property lines did not close.
Since the Commission ageed with staff's approval of the minor amendment, no action by the
PEC was necessary on this item.
Filins.
Apolicanc Vail Associates
Planner: Jill Kammerer
Jill Kammerer explaincd the request. Staff recommended approval of the minor amendment
to the development plan with conditions.
Joe Macy, representing Vail Associates, said he would prefer not to construct an earthen berm
to the wist oi t5e ptoposed lift unless Mr. Brown, the adjacent property owner, rcqucsted one.
He suggested using a snow berm instead of an earthen berm with landscaping to screen the
lift from the adjacent Property.
Jim Shearer asked that Mr. Brown and the Meyers be contacted again for their input.
Kathy Langenwaltcr was concerned about a buffer for privacy and noise control. She
preferred to see the base of the lift moved to the east. Joe Macy indicated such a move
would result in a loss of ski terrain.
2.
Ludwig Kurz believed the proposal was an inoffensive installation, and would not result in a
problem for the neighborhood. He did not bclieve it would make sense to move the base of
the lift uphill, nor to install a permanent berm.
Diana Donovan did not believe a berm needed to be required at this time, but wanted an
allowance to be made to require its installation in the future if it became necessary. Joe
Macy replied that the neighbors could always install a fence around their property if cross-
uaffic became an issue to them. He would prefer to removc the lift suPport poles in the
summer rather than construct a berm and landscapc if Diana stated her prefcrence of bushes
being planted rather than a berm being installed.
Chuck Crist asked what would keep out-of-control skicrs from skiing into a house. For
control r€asons, he suggested a snow bcrm. Joe Macy replied that, most likely, a skier would
simply sit down before they reached one of the homes. He reiterated that notices had been
sent to adjacent property owners, and no one had indicated any opposition, but pledged to
continue to try and contact them again. Connie Knight wanted the approval contingent on the
a jacent property owners' approval. Kristan Pritz said that could be made a condition of
approval.but an alternative would be that, if there was opposition, the applicant could return
for an amendment to the proposal, if necessary.
Kathy Langenwalter moved to approve the request for a minor amendment to the Golden
Peak development plan to allow for the installation of a rope tow lift, 498 Vail Valley
Driveflract B, Vail Village 7th Filing, with the following condition: If either of the two
a jacent property owners requested mitigation by landscaping or through the construction of
an-earthen berm, within two years of the installation of the lift, the applicant must provide
such mitigation. Ludwig Kurz seconded the motion. It was approved, 7-0.
Jack Rush from Manor Vail was in attendance to express support of the request.
Aoolicant Vail Associates
Planner: Jill Kammerer
Jill Kammerer presented staff's findings on this request. Staff recommended approval of the
request for a period of 2 years, with the conditions listed in the memo.
Joe Macy, rcpresenting the applicant, thought a berm on the west side of the lot was
acceptable, but that a berm on the south side was unnecessary, as the grade of the lot was
high enough above the road that can parked in the lot would not be visible to drivers on the
3.
South Frontage Road adjacent to the lot. Hc also had diffrculty with condition number 6,
requiring the drivers to stor€ their cars on a long term basis only. He said therc was no way
he could guarante€ compliancc with that condition.
Kathy Langenwalter agreed there was no way to control when people could take their car
from the lot, but suggested including the condition in the letter sent to residents of Timber
Ridge. Kathy continued by stating that if, in 1993 the applicant wished to continue use of the
parking lot, more p€nnanent improvements would likely bc required.
Jim Shearer requested that the "long term" be defined in the letter to residents. He could
agrec with berming only thc southwest comer of the lot.
Connic Knight left the meeting at approximately 3:l0PM.
Kathy Langcnwalter moved that the rpquest for a variance to the parking standards, Section
18.52 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code to allow for off-sueet surface parking at the "Holy
Cross parcel" which is generally located on the north side of the South Frontage Road east of
and immediately adjacent to Red Sandstone Cre€k be approved with the conditions as
follows:
l. The applicant construct a 3-4 foot high earthen berm along the southwestern corner of
the property to scrE€n thc parking lot from the South Frontage Road and, further, the
applicant seed this berm with native grasses in the Spring of 1992-
2. The conditional use permit be effective until May 15, 1993. After that date, if the
variance and conditional use permit is extended, further improvements will be
performed, such as paving, extending the berm, and landscaping. The improvcment to
be requircd wil be determined at such time as approval of the variance and
conditional use permit is rcconsidered.
3. All of the existing evergreen trees be protected by snow fences.
4. Surface run-off pollution control, as proposed by the applicant, |g providcd-
5. Applicant notify each V.A. employee who rents at Timber Ridge that it is illegal and
eitremely hazardous for pedcsrians to cross I-70, and the only safe way to cross I-70
is via the pedestrian overpass or by crossing under I-70 at either the West Vail or
Main Vail interchanges and, further, the applicant notify each V.A. employec who
rents at Timber Ridge that residents will be allowed to store cars only on a long-term
basis on the Holy Cross parcel.
Chuck Crist seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously, G0.

Kathy Langenwalter moved that the request for a conditional use permit to allow for off-suect
surface parking at thc "Holy Ctoss parcel" which is generally located on the north side of the
South Frontage Road easr of and immediately adjacent to Red Sandstone CYeek be approved
per staff memo, with the conditions as noted above. Jim Shcarer seconded the motion. It
was approved, 6-0.
Applicant The Walter Group
Planner: Andv Knudtsen
Andy Knudtsen prescnted thc request. Staff rccommended approval of the permit, with the
conditions listed in staff's memo.
The applicant, Dave Rutter, said he had a couple of clarifications to staff's memo. First, the
dish to be installed on the roof was not a satellite dish, but a point-to-point rclay from Dowd
Junction. Second, the carrier was McCaw Communications, acting under the name C.ellular
One.
Kathy Langenwalter asked that the shed roof be removed over the door, and the flat roof over
the addition be extended. The applicant agreed to that change. Kathy also asked that, if the
existing grade were lowered, and the waterproofing were exposed, it would be cleaned up.
She sfongly encouraged avoiding exposing the waterproofing.
Kathy wondered if more cell sites would be necessary in the future. The applicant
hypothesized that, if 30-50,000 subscribers were signed up in the Valley, another site would
be necessary. He did say, however, that an additional sitc in East Vail may be needed.
Kathy questioned how the applicant was working with the school, and if the dumpster
enclosure was acceptable to the school. The applicant responded by saying they had not
specifically addressed the dumpster, but the applicants had committed not to affect the
operation of the school.
Ludwig Kurz was concerned with traffic and parking issues, and asked what kind of
maintenance was going to be performed on the twice monthly visits. The applicant indicated
it would be preventive maintenance, specifically to check on the batteries, and the visits
should be approximately 30 minutes in length. He said if there was a power outage, for
instance, an unscheduled visit might be necessafy. In addition, approximately evcry 6
months, a 2 hours maintenance visit would be necessary.
Diana Donovan was concerned about the timing of the construction, as parking was a problem
at the school. The applicant said the concrete would be formed off-site during the week, and
poured during the weekend. When the trench was dug, a 24-hour watch would be posted to
ensure safety.

I. DESCRIPTION OF TTIE VARJANCE REOI.JESTED
Vail Associates (V.A.) is requesting a conditional usc permit and a variance to the pa*ing
standards which require that all parking lots be paved and landscaped. The companion
conditional use permit is discusscd in a separate mcmo attached.
On November 26, lgm, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a conditional
use permit and a request for a variance from thc design standards rcquiring all parting lots to
bc paveti and landscapcd in order to allow a tcmporary parking arEa on the Holy Goss parcel.
These approvals were effective for a period of one year. The rtquests under consideration at
this meeting are more or less idcntical to the requests reviewed by the PEC in 1990.
A l0l space parking lot is proposed for the Holy Cross parccl. The applicant is sccking
pennanent approval to park ca$ at this location during the ski season. Thc site is owned by
Holy Goss Elecric Association, Inc.
The lease agrccment to use this sirc for long-term parking and sorage of vchicles belonging
to V.A. employees who reside at the Sunbird Lodge and Timber Ridge is benpeen V.A. and
Holy Goss Electric.
In addition to providing parking for V.A.'s employees, 15 qpaces will be madc available to
Lodge at Vail employecs who reside in Timbcr Ridge.
The aoolicant is rcouestine a variance from Sections 18.52.080(E). 01 - Off SEEct Parkine
and Louline. Pfl'kine - Standads. the desim standards which r€ouire all parkine lots to be
paved and landscaped. Thc aoolicant has reouested this variance rpmain in olacc
oennanentlv.
There are approximately 101 parking spaces availablc in thc Holy Goss lot and each vehicle
using the lot would be idcntifred with a parking pass assigrred to thcm by V.A.'s housing
manager. Public access to thc lot will not be permitted" V.A' has indicated that
approximately 75% of the parking in the lot will bc for long-term vchicle storage and
approximately 25% of the parking wiU be used on a more rcgular in and out basis.
Vail Associates' site plan for the Holy Closs lot takcs into account snow storage, drainage
control, parking and Holy Cboss cquipmcnt storagc areas. Each of these aspects of the plan
will-bc handled in the following mannen
Snow Storage and Scr€ening
Snow will be pushed to the southwest corner of thc lot and stored there. From
thc southwest corner of the lot nonh to the ree line, snow will atso be pushcd
west and bermed along the wcst side of the lot. Snow will also be pushed to
the south end of the lot to crcate a bcrm to scr€en thc lot from the South
Frontage Road. As the request is to continue this use for a number of ycars,
staff recommends thc applicant construct an earthen berm to scrcen the lot
from the South Frontage Road and, further, that thc applicant sccd the berm
with native grasses in the Spring of 1992.
Drainaee
Sheet drainage flows from the center of the lot to the west and east. V.A. will
install a row of hay bales along thc western edge of the lot which will reduce
the amount of sediment reaching the crcck. From the center of the lot east,. sheet drainage will flow east and then south until it reachcs the drainage ditch
along the north cdge of South Frontage Road- Drainage will then flow wcst to
Rcd Sandstone Geek. Three hay bale silt traps will be installed in the above
drainage ditch to trap any sediment beforc it reachcs Rcd Sandstone Geek.
Use of hay bales is a standard and provcn tcchnique used in mad construction
to trap sediment.
Parkine
Approximately 101 spaces would be providcd in thc lot. The parking demand
for the Holy Ctoss lot is as follows:
2
Sunbird Lodge: 53 spaces
Timber Ridge: 28 spaccs
Lodge at Vail: 15 spaces
Vail Associates Shop Employccs: 5 soaces
Tota} 101 spaccs
Sto'raec
Holy Goss Elecric Association will continue to usc thc no'rth end of the lot
for storage of materials, erc.; this area is screcned by uees and fences.
In response to staff concerns rcgarding Timbcr Ridge residcnts crossing I-70 to get to the lot,
Vail Associates will commit to notifying cach employcc who rents at Timber Ridge that it is
illegal and extnemcly hazardous for pedesrians to cross I-?0. Further, V.A. wil notify the
cmployecs that the only safe way to cross I-70 is via thc pcdesrian ovcrpass c by crossing
undcr I-70 at the West Vail or main Vail interchanges.
On July 17, 1991, the Colorado Division of Highways (CDOH) informed VA that the CDOH
had made the access permit pennanent. CDOH has estimated that thc lot will generatc 52
auto trips per day.
II. BACKGROUND
With the addition of the Holy Cross parcel, V.A. will manage its parking facilities in the
following manner:
The Sunbird Lodge
The Sunbird Indge was originally constructed as a time sharc p'roject. Four or five
yeanl ago the project went into Chapter 11 bankruprcy and sat cmpty until V.A.
purchased thc building at for€closurc. The Sunbird Lodge is located immcdiately
adjacent to V.A.'s Lionshead Gondola building. Sunbird has below grade parking.
This parking is to be utilized by V.A. employees who do not livc or work in the
Sunbird. V.A. runs a 24 hour a day operation and Joe Macy, V.A.'s Manager of
Mountain Planning, has indicated the rcason for not allowing Sunbird residcnts to use
the lot is to make it available in the cvening for V.A. night shift cmployees.
Parking dcmand gencrated for the Holy Choss parcel by Sunbird rcsidcntVemployees is
53 spaces.
North Day Lot
The north day lot is limircd to V.A. employees who car pool.
l
lVest Day Lot
Thc west day lot, located west of the Mariott Mark is V.A. owned and opcratcd for
employees. At 9:3G10:00 a-m. or so, if parking spaces arc remaining in the lot, V.A.
knows its employee parking needs are mct and the lot is opened to thc gencral public.
Landmark Building
V.A-'s legal and real estate developmcnt offices aru located in the hndmart Building.
Approximatcly l0 covered spaces within the building are available for managcment
level employees.
M. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of the Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the
Community Development Departnent recommends approval of the requested variance based
on the following factors:
A.@:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structur€s in the vicinity.
The Holy Cross parcel has been used for parking and sto'rage since 1970. Land
uses in the area includc parking lots, a commercial building, maintenance
yards, a scrvice station, a waste watcr trcatment facility and warehouses. Each
of the above uses has parking associated with the use. The adjacent properties
would not be negatively impacted ifparking and storage continues to occur on
the Holy Cross parcel.
Potsntial frrture uses of the sitc are: an interstate highway exchange, pocket
park, affordable housing site and of course, parking.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation
snd enforcement of a specified regulation is neccssary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the
vicinity or to sttain the objectives of this title without grant of
special privilege.
V.A. proposes to usc the lot to provide long and shoft term parking for their
cmployees. The applicant is requesting a pennanent variancc. The variance
and conditional use permit granad by the PEC in 1990 were effcctivc through
May 15, 1991 (one ski season). Staff recommends the use of this lot for
,
4 soa.sonal pa*ing be approvcd for a period of 2 years. Staff believes it is a
hardship to require V.A. to pavc the area givcn the staff-recommen&d
temporary naturc of the usc. This type of limited and temporary variancc was
also approved for the Town of vail at Ford Park which means this rcquest is
not a spccial privilcge.
3. The efiect of the requested variance m ligbt and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic fecilities, pubtic facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
The provision of parking for Timber Ridge and Sunbird residcntVemployces at
this location ftrees up parking spaces at other sites to moet other cmployec
pa*ing needs in Lionshead. Thereby possibly making parking more available
to gucsts and improving the communities parting facilities.
The public safety issue continues to be a conccrn to the staff. Staff bclieves
that regardless of any written notification dclivered to Timber Ridge rcsidents
regarding the dangen ofcrossing thc Interstarc to get to the lot, this situation
may continue to (rcur.
B. The Plannine and Environmental Commission shall makc the following
findinss b€forc sranting a variance:
l. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be dcrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to propenies or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or morE of the following r€asons:
a- The strict literal interpretation or enforcemcnt of the spccified
regulation would result in practical diffrculty or unnocessary
physical hardship inconsistent with thc objectives of this title.
b. There arc exceptions or cxnaordinary circumstanoes or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other p'mperties in the samc zone.
c. The strict interprctation or enforcement of the spccffied
regulation would deprivc the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
the owners of other properties in the same district.
I
l.IV. RELATED POLICIES IN T}IE VAIL LAND USE PLAN
Policy 2.8 Day skier needs for parking and access should be accommodated
through qcative solutions such as:
a) Increase busing from out of town.
b) Expandcd points of access to the mountain by adding additional basc portals.
c) Continuing to provide temPorary surface pa*ing.
d) Addition of stnrctured pa*ing.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Departrnent of Community Development rccommends approval of a temporary variance
(until May 15, 1993), to the paving and landscaping standards, based on findings B(l), B(2)' . \,,.
B(3)(a) and B(3)(c) with the conditions that: ,, (.(rr''"
,.,nkt)-l. The ppplicant consmrct a 34 foot high eanhen bcrm along the southffi
$$)of the propeny to scr€en the parking lot from the South Frcntage
R--oad an4 furthcr, the applicant seed this berm with nativc grasses in
the Spring of 1992.
2. The conditional use permit be effective until May 15, 1993.
3. All of the existing evergreen tnees bc protected by snow fences.
4. Approval of the companion conditional use pcrmit request.
5. Surface run-off pollution control as proposed by the applicant be provided.
6. Timber Ridge residents be allowed to stone cars only on a long-term basis on
the Holy Ctoss parcel.
7. Applicant shall notify each V.A. employee who rcnts at Timber Ridge that it is
illegal and extremcly hazardous for pedestrians to cfi)ss I-70, and the only safe
way to cross I-70 is via the pedcstrian overpass o'r by crossing under I-70 at
either the West Vail or Main Vail interchanges.

In summary:
Granting the variance rcqucst will not bc derimental to the public health, safety or
welfarc, or marcrially injurious o properties or improvencnts in thc vicinity as thc usc
of this lot for parking for seasonal cmployccs will provide much needed additional
seasonal parking an4 thercforc, may frec up parking fo gpcsts, which would imp'rove
the communiry's ability to mcet community parting nccds. Further, by V.A. notifying
its tenants that it is illegal and dangcmus to caoss I-70, the likclihood of employccs
crossing I-70 is decr€ased.
Approval of this varianoe rcquest is not a grant of spccial pnvilegc as this type of
lfunited and tcmporary variance was also approved fo thc Town of Vail at Ford Park.
The variance is warranted bccause the suict interpretation m enforcement of the
specified regulations would rcsult in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title because the use of this lot by
V.A. is seasonal, and is limited to May 15, 1993.
The variance is warranted because the srict interpretation or enforccment of thc
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges cnjoyed by Holy Cross
at this location during other times of the year.
If, in the future, another cxtension of the variance and conditional usc permit is requested,
staff strongly recommends that a permanent drainage solution, and pcrmanent paving and
landscaping be installed.
