g. A request for variances from Section 18.58.320 D3, to allow antennas greater than fifteen
feet ih neignt ano-6ection 18.54.050 c7, to allow two rooftop antennas to be placed on
the false slairwell tower near North Frontage Road.
Applicant: KTUN Radio
Planner: Tammie Williamson
Tammie Williamson gave an overview of the memo and said that staff was recommending
denial.
Jon Banks, with KTUN, said he had worked hard to make the proposed jnstallation more
compatible with the existing facilities ol Vail Commons. He then passed out a handout to
illusirate the new location ind asked how to arneliorate the appearance of the antennas. He
explained 5 ditferent options lor reducing the appearances and impacts'
Greg Motfet asked lor any public comments. There were none'
Mike Mollica said he was not comlortable with this newly submitted anlenna plan that could
impact the site. He recommended tabling this, as staff had not had time to review it'
Greg Moffet said typically staff needs to review the material and tabling this was customary.
Galen Aasland said to table the second set of antennas after staff has had a chance to look at it.
He said the first one was extremely visible and that the applicant had not come far enough with
that one.
Diane Golden said that the applicant had gone to great lengths and it was not fair to table it.
Henry pratt said these antennas were a significant improvement, but he.understood staff's
concern about reviewing this and also the ipplicant's concern about their construction schedule'
He said he preferred plin A. He said it tne hirtennas were up against the.shingles, he would
have no prdOtem appioving it with the linal conditions to be worked out with staff.
John Schofield asked how they were mounted.
Jon Banks said he didn't know if it would be a flush mount.
Gene Uselton said if he were the owner, he would use plan C or plan D.
Greg Moflet disclosed that KTUN was a customer ol his company's, but that he saw no conflict.
Greg Moffet said we should keep KTUN in the Town ol Vail.
Gene Uselton made a motion for approval with the condition that staff approve the location ol the

City Market Store No. 142

VMDA Job No. 9501.1
Dear Ron:
ln accordance with our recent meetings and telephone conversations regarding the above
referenced radio antennas, the following are our concerns at this time:
The construction of the Southeast Tower of the City Market store is of structural steel because of
the of the nature of the shape of the tower and the loading requirements of the building code,
which include snow loadings, live loads, and wind loads on the tower itself. The structural steel
purlins are on 4'-0" on center which in turn support steel metal roof deck, with plywood over the
metal roof deck and then asphalt shingles for a finish product. We have reviewed altematives
with the structural engineers of reducing the amount of structural steel and it would be possible
to use dimensional wood for a portion of the roof, but we would still require the steel purlins at
4'-0" on center, which will not give you the 8'-0" x 8'-0" window required to aim your antennas
through. We do not see any way we could incorporate a fiberglass panel system.
During our discussions you suggested the idea of creating a vertical wall surface which would
give you the 8'-0" x 8'-0" area you required. You thought this could be accomplished in one of
two ways:
I . Cqeating a shed roof on the West face of the roof, or
2. Changing the pitch of the roof so the soffit could be raised.
VMDA does not feel either of these two solutions would be acceptable. They do not conform to
the Architectural theme which we have created for the remainder of the project. We also know
that if we proposed either of the two solutions they would have to go back to the Town of Vail
Design Review Board. We do not believe City Market or the Town of Vail wants to take this

project through the Design Review Board process at this point in the project.
As you and I have discussed recently, the steel shops drawings have been approved for this
portion of the project and construction is under way at this time. Any changes to the tower at this
time would create a substantial delay and would not meet City Market's construction schedule.
I wish I could offer you a creative solution to incorporate the antennas into the design of the
structure and make them less conspicuous. As you and I have discussed, I believe the location
below the peak of the tower on the North side of the roof is the best location. VMDA does not
feel most people would notice them in this location and they would be well screened from North
Frontage Road.
I have enclosed a copy of the project Master Site Plan for your discussions with the Town of
Vail.
Please do not hesitate to call if ow office can be of further assistance to vou in this matter.

DearJm:
I enioyed speaking with you on Tuesday; you certainly seem to hava a difiicr,rlt problem.
Here are my houghts on the possibility of concealing the three antennas you need.
I understand you naed b instefl th€ entennes in a stairupll tourar, ttrat the torcr is of
masonry block consfildion, and its tocf is steel framed with vertical sloping beams on
approximatelyfourfoot cffters. The steel framing will be coverod with conugat€d st€e!
decking and shingbs. Obviousty, no ant€nna will t/rcrk througtr the steel decking; that
upuld hatre to be replaced wlth pl)
'rood;
you'll rreed some ttpod Faming underneath
that to oomplyuiFt local buifding codes. I assume there nray be sorne cignificant snorv
accumula8on on the roof at tim6s durir€ the winter.
Flrst the srlallest antenna, our CA7460 model. Obviouely, thie is the Easiest antonna
to hide; it could easily go inside the totrer, mounted bstti€€n he cteet beams. But
unless you csl hidE the otler l€rg€r ant€nnss, hiding this one is probably inelevant
There will be some loss of signal through the roof; s6o my oomments belovy on tfie pR-
Our PR-450U entenna is probably the antenna npst broa<lcad stations we for studio-
transrnittsr llnks. lts wider than the spacirg beti,E€n the beame, so you uould
definitely compmmise th6 ant€rna'a performanca by mounting it urdErthe roo . Similar
afitennas fom ofrer marufac-turer'g are about the sane sizE. Sincs the size is
basically a fundion of the antenne gain, ue can't shrink the anlenna wiftout giving up
gain. Ard if you have to transrnit through the rmf, yorJll need all the gain you can get.
My erperienca is that you will probabty los€ roughly 3 dB of slgnal strengfi tnansmittirB
thrangh uimdfirists, plyunod decking, nails, fasteners, and stringbs. Thet is, half yor.n
signal evill be lost jtst going through the roof. A thie* blanket cf grcw on the roof truJlct
turther rc(l^Fe th€ signal, althowh that sfioct will be mlnor.

The HDCA-S used to receive your statlon's slgnal ls also a problem. Because it
operated at the lovnst fiequency (approximately 100 Ml-tz) it is the largest antenna.
And lt requires the grcatest claaranca fiom surroundirg metal objects to rrcrk es
desigrnd. At 100 MHa a nadio unvelength is approximately 10 feet ldealfy, you'd
have at leaEt a hatf vuanelength spacing (five feet) between the Entenna and any large
motal objects, Steel beans spaced fuurfeet apert uould effedively scresn the radio
$aves. \lVhile signal loss tkough the roof uould be less at the lo$€r frequency, the
antenna rrculdnt ftndion as deoigned wihin fto gtrusturel metal fame.
Jon, I don't think installing the anlennas inside fie roof is going to be practical in the
struc{ure yodve desoriberl. These ar6 some olher antenn€s ne could propos€ thal
might have less visual impact; there antennas arert't usu€llly used for broadcasting, but
the might be good altemativee for you.
I'm including a alt sheEt on a panel antenne that is designecl forcellular us€, but could
be us€d at broadcad microuew frequencies asu,€ll. This hgs the ssrne gain as a PR-
450t , but the appearance h very dtfi*ent lfs also abcrrt thrce times the price.
The smallest ant€nna, the GA7450, is available as a M5-450. Thst model is
sunound€d by a liberglass correr fr protection in exbernely harsh erwirorrnents. The
cov€r may soften the epp€EranoE sufftciently to makE it acceptable.
The HDCA^5 is the larg€st antenna, and r,t€ don't maks e cor/€r€d verelon. Perhaps
you coqld use a CA-2, wtrictr is a trivo elament version of the antenna. ft has lorter gain
and direcfivity, bul if you can live witr fie lEssor perfomancs, thig uould reduce the
lerqh of tfn anbnnas fun 56 irrctres to 29 inchsei tte width remaim the ssne.
I hope tlnse glternetiyas addre$e some of the concems of pu aning commisgion.

A request for variances from Section 18.58.320, Satellite Dish Antennas' D 3 and
Sectibn 18.54.050, Design Guidelines, C 7, to allow two rooftop antennas and one
satellite dish on the false stainvell tower, located at 2099 N' Frontage Road
WesWail Commons.
Applicanr: KTUN RadioPlanner: Tammie Williamson
I. DESCRIPTION OFTHE VARIANCE REOUESTS
The applicant, KTUN - Radio formerly K-Lite Radio, are moving their o{fices from the Vail Run
Buildin! to the Vail Commons site. The proposal is to place one satellite dish and two antennas
on the ialse stairwell tower near the North Frontage Road. The applicant is proposing three
alternatives for the location of this equipment on the false stairwell tower. Location A is on the
west face of the tower below the eave, approximately 18 feet in height. Location B is on the west
face of the tower above fte eave, approii;Tately 29 feet in height. Location C is on the north
side of the tower above the eave, approximately 35 feet in height. According to the applicant' the
antennas must be placed at a height to transmit and receive signals without interference, to
Dowd Junction. The attachments provide illustrations of the proposed locations.
The applicant is requesting the tollowing two variances lrom Sections 18.58.320 D 3' and
18.54.050 C 7, of the code:
1. To allow antennas greater than fiftoon fest In height to be placed on fie false stairwell
tower on near North Frontage Road;
Section 18.58.320 D 3
"The maximum height allowed for any satellite dish antenna' when
measured lrom the top of the satellite dish antenna down to existing or
finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall not exceed fifteen feet;"
2. To allow two rooftop antsnnas to be placed on the false stairwell tower near North
Frontage Road;
Section 18.54.050 C 7
"Rooftop antennas shall not be permitted unless as allowed under a
conditional use review as specified within the zoning code."
Fff F
I'lLX
The current equipment specifications are as follows:
o A SCALA PR-950 Paraflector (classified as a satellite dish by the Town of Vail Zoning
Code, 18.58.320 (b) because of its size) would be insAlbd as high as possible on the
false stairwell towei near the North Frontage Road, at tre edge of the parking lo1. The
dimensions are 68" x 36" x 18". This antenna would be used to transmit the station's
programs from the studio to a relay point atop Dowd Junction, and then on to the
irantmitter at Castle Peak in Eagle. A line of sight path is necessary for this
-
transmission. The applicant has stated that locations farther back on the lot (from the
North Frontage Road) are shielded by a ridge east of Down Junction that blocks the
transmission path;
o A SCALA HDCA - 5 Series Yagi antenna would be installed at the same location. This
antenna would be used to receive the station's broadcasts for monitoring at the studio.
The dimensions are 62" x 56". This antenna ensures the station has a clear signal, to
make broadcasts optimal; and
o A SCALA CA7 - 460 Yagi antenna would be installed at the same location. This antenna
would be used to receive data sent via a special radio link from the transmitter back to
the studio. The dimensions are 40" x 13.5i' x 4". The FCC requires that the radio station
be able to monitor transmitter power and other parameters. All of these antennas are
receive-only antennas, except the Paraflector. The link transmitter used with that
antenna op-erates at only 10 watts. At that power, radio energy exposure to the public is
minimal. Currentty, tne FCC follows 1982 ANS|standards, which specifically exemptlhis
type of system from the applicable environmental regulations because of the extremely
low power involved.
il.BACKGROUND
In December of 1987, K-Lite, now known as KTUN Radio, requested a variance to allow
for a satellite dish (13 feet in diameter) to service the radio station located in the Vail Run
Building. This request was in response to K-Lite's relocation from Eagle, to the Vail Run
Building. Town of vail ordinances limit the size of satellite dishes to I feet for single
fami[ and business uses, and 12 feet for dishes serving multi{amily dwellings. The
.
Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved the variance request at their
December 14, 1987 rneeting.
In February of 1989, K-Lite, requested a variance to allow for the installation of a second
satellite dish at the Vail Run Building. This dish belonged to K-Lite Radio which was a
commercial tenant within the buibing. Section 18.58.320, D1 of the Vail Zoning Code
states:
"No more than one satellite dish antenna shall be allowed on any lot as
delineated on the official Town ol Vail Zoning Map'"
The PEC approved fie variance request at heir February 13, 1989 meeting.
In October ol 1989, K-Lite Radio, submitted a request lor a variance to allow for the
installation of a third satellite dish at the Vail Run Building. At that time, K-Lite was using
a 13 foot diameter receiving antenna for its CBS Network atliliation Emergency Action .
Notification System and itshusic programming network. The purpose of the additional
antenna was io expand their broadcast services and specialized programming. This.
antenna was to be 1o feet in diameter. Due to the ditference in the locations of the fixed-
orbit satellites (139 degrees and74 degrees), it was not possible to receive both signals
with the existing t3 foot antenna. The PEC approved the variance request at their
October 23, 1989 meeting.
In February ot 1997, KTUN Radio, submitted a request for five variances to allow for the
installation of two satellite dish antennas to be placed adjacent to unit F6 within the vail
Commons development. The two dishes were '10 feet and 13 feet in diameter. This
equipment is to Ud depressed 30 inches into finished grade and placed 20.feet apart:
Tlie iandscape screeiing consists of three Colorado Spruce north of the dishes and four
aspens south of the dishes. Additionally, the applicant proposed a screen fence
co'mposed of stucco masonry columns and six foot vertical boards, similar to the
matdrials of the commercial buildings on-site. The northern-most dish encroaches
approximately five feet into the 2OJoot setback required by the Gommercial Core 3 (CCg)
Zone District.
At this meeting, the PEC approved the request for two satellite dishes' with two
conditions, and tabled he request to locate the remaining satellite dish and two antennas
at a height greater than fifteen feet on the false stairwell tower closest to the North
Frontage Boad.
The conditions were as follows:
1. That the landscape screening proposed by the applicant be maintained in a
healthy state, so as to effectliely provide a sufficient buffer to fie satellite dishes
at alltimes; and
2. That he satellite dishes be ol a color that sufficiently blends into the surroundings,
subject to final review and approval by the Design Review Board; and
3. That the DRB review the revised landscaping and fencing plan.
III, CRITERIAANDFINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.62.060, Criteria and Findings, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code,lhe
Community Development Department recommends, denlal of the request to locate one satellite
dish and two antennas on the false stainrvell tower on North Frontage Road. The
recommendation is based on the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. The relatlonshlp of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and sructur€s In the vlcinity.

The proposed location for lhe one satellite dish and two antennas is on the
false stiiruvell tower. The false stairwell is intended to function as an
architectural feature on this site. The false stairwell tower is also the
highest peak within this development which will greatly enhance its
viiiOitity. Staff believes that additional efforts should be made to preserve
the funbtion and aesthetic character of this tower. More specifically, staff
believes there are more creative ways in which to obscure the antennas
from view, while achieving the required line-of-sight transmission to Dowd
Junction. The antennas could be placed within the stairwell tower in order
to provide an appropriate screen.
Solar Vail received approval from the PEC on May 20, 1992 to
add four satellite dishes to their building. The proposal
included the following: That the applicant add of two false chimneys on
each side of the building; That the false chimney chases
be painted to match existing colors of the building. Fiberglass insets
were installed within the chases.
2. The degree to which rEtief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of fteatment among sites in the vicinity or
to attain the oblectlves ot this title without glant of special privilege.
While this type equipment appears to be necessary to opelate a radio or
television bioadcisting studio, the applicant has not effectively
demonstrated effective mitigation to the site vie$,s that will be impacted by
the proposed locations ol the antennas.
3. The eftect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public satety.
The staff can find no significant etfect on any of the above considerations
as it relates to the three antennas.
The Planning and EnvironmentalCommission shallmake the following findings
before granting a variance:
1 . That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsiitent 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
healttr, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in he vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical ditficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions
applicable to the same site of the variance that do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone.
The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specilied regulation-
would deprive the applicant ol privileges enjoyed by the owners of
other properties in the same district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Gommunity Development Department staff recommends denial of the request to
locate three antennas on the false stairwell tower adjacent to the North Frontage Road.
The staff believes that the applicant has not demonstrated a physical hardship that
requires his location and thli additional mitigation should be taken to reduce the view
disiurbance that will result if the three antenna are located on the false stairwell tower.
The recommendation of denial is subject to the following findings:
1. That the granting of the variance will be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity; and
2. That the granting of a variance will constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent witl the limitations on other properties classified in the same
district.

stairwell. She stated that for the record, there was one letter received that opposed the request'
Planning and Environm€ntal Commission
Minutes
February 24, 1997
Jon Banks, of KTUN Radio, said he needed direction regarding th.e. !ac!Je-nce' He said he
understoOd staff's concein wifn regarOs to the antenna,-but hdsaid it was. necessary for the
Dowd Junction line-of-relay tibnt
"110
that there were very few choices' He said that there were
3 locations in the proposal. He spoke with the archiiects'about the stairwell structure who found
it diflicult to hide it inside the structure.
Greo Moffet disclosed, for the record, that KTUN was a customer of his, as they buy bus
;;X;ffi;;;i, ;;t h;',ii; noisee tnii as a conflict. Gres then asked for anv public comment'
Chris Conne||y, a property owner on Chamonix, said he had no problem with the dishes.
Jon Banks explained that a 4',X 6' antenna would be mounted on fte false stairwell'
Greg Moffet asked which way the false stairwell would face. lf it faced the Frontage Rd" it would
not be visible from Ghamonix.
Chris Connelly said, regarding fhe 35' high antenna, that he didn't like antennas on buildings' as
he couldn't have an "nt*na
ioi niJ pers-onat use. He said his objection was a visual thing'
Diane Golden asked Chris if he was comfortable with the dishes'
Chris Connelly said he had no problem with the dishes'
Greg Moffet asked for any other public comments' There was none'
John schofield asked if the antennas could not be put inside the false.stairwell tower because of
in" ret"f sttrcture for tti" ".i"""i. He asked if ttiey could be put in the wooden roof structures'
Dominic Mauriello said the wooden roof structures could work, since the roof had not yet been
constructed on Vail Commons'
John schofield suggested exploring the possibility. He then asked about the texture and color of
the dishes.
Jon Banks said that black, white and dark green were the available colors' He said this was an
aesthetic issue and would stand ready if a color was requested'
John Schofield asked if this would go to the DRB.
Dominic Mauriello said that was listed in the conditions of approval in the staff memo'
Jon Banks said they were proposing a solid white color with a colored cover'
John Schofield said he would like more landscaping and he then could support the dishes' He
said to put the antennas inside if at all possible'
Jon Banks Said he was concerned with locating them in an attic, where there would be high heat
and access problems.

Greg Moffet said at this point of construction a fake chimney could be built'
Dominic Mauriello said they could modify the material, as the same architect was working on Vail
Commons and it could be incorporated into their design'
Gene Uselton agreed with John and said to get to it before construction.
Greg Amsden had no further comments.
Galen Aasland said this was a better solution to hiding the antennas. He said to add landscaping
on tne west side and to modify shape to get in more landscaping'
Diane Golden said she was concerned about the fences for safety reasons'
Greg Motfer said KTUN would need to request another variance for the fence height changing
from 3'to 6'.
Henry Pratt agreed with the other board members to make the antennas work. He asked if the
f O: iiC t 3' diihes could be reversed to reduce the impact on Ghamonix.
Jon Banks said he would have to look at the plans'
Henry Pratt said if it would move down the hill, he would be in support of a higher fence variance'

Jon Banks said there would be no cover, as the whole dish would be painted'
Henry Pratt said additional landscaping was needed on the west side to hide the fence'
Greg Moffet summarized the variances that #1 - to allow both dishes; fZ - mat the PEC would
need to see more drawings to enclose the antennas; #3 - to ground,base the antennas and the

DESCRI PTIONIE_I fIEIVABIANGESE
The applicant, KTUN - Radio formerly K-Lite Radio, are moving their offices from the Vail Run
ilildfig to tne Vait Commons site. They are requesting to locate two.satellile dishes and three
antennas on the Vail Commons .ite. fde applichnt is iequesting to place two satellite dishes in
the northwestern portion ot me V"it Commons developmdnt adll9qn1 to. Unit F6. The proposal is.
io O"pr"r, the tw6 satettite dishes approximately 30 inches intd tinisned grade and the dishes will
ne pf|ceO approximately iO GeLigjri. The soufhern-most dish (10 feet in diametefl is proposed
to have a maximum height of 1 1 feet above grade. The northern-most dish (13 feet in diameter)
is proposed to have a maiimum height of 12-feet above grade. Both dishes are white and
co'mpbseO of solid fiberglass. The iroposed landscape icreening includes three Colorado
Spt,i." tt*o north of tne"t*o dishes'anb one south otihe disnes) and four Aspens south of the
two dishes. Additionally, lhe applicant is proposing a fence composed of slucco masonry
columns and six foot vertical Obirds, simiiar io thdmaterials of the commercial buildings on-site'
The northern-most satellite dish encroaches approximately five leet into the 2o-foot setback
required by the Commercial Core 3 (CC3) Zone District.
The remaining one satellite dish and two antennas are to be located on the false stairwell tower
near the North Frontage noaC. ine appticant is proposing three alternatives for the location of
inir "quipr"nt
on the-false stairwell t6*er. Location n is-on the west lace of the tower below the
"iu"-,i-p'pro*imately
18 feet in height. Location B is on the west face of the tower above the
eive, ibbro*imateti 29 feet in hei[ht. Location C is on the north side of the tower above the
eiue, ibbtorimareti 35 feeiin nei6nt. According to the applicant, the antennas must be placed
ii a n"i'gh to transmit and receive-signals without inlerference, to Dowd Junction' The
attachm-ents provide illustrations of the proposed locations.
The applicant is requesting the following five variances from Sections 18'58'320 D 1, 3,4, 6
and Section 18.54.050 C 7, of the code:
1. To allow two dishes;

The current equipment specifications are as follows:
o A 3.g meter (13 foot diameteO satellite dish to be installed '12 feet above grade at the
northwest corner of the devel6pment, next to unit F6. This dish would receive radio
programming from satellite Saicom 5, which carries leeds from ABC, CBS, CNN' NBC
and other sources. This is the most common satellite used by radio stations' The
National emergency AJrt System depends on these networks to distribute information in
a National crisis
A 3.0 meter (10 foot diameter) satellite dish to be installed 11 feet above grade, in the
same location aS the above mentioned. Some radio programs of special interest to Vail
listeners are transmitteO on Sat"ttite Galaxy 4, and requiie a separate antenna' While
il.
KTUN does not presentty carry the Denver Broncos' Rockies' Colorado Avalanche' CU
lootball or basketball, ot c'srjiooiuai tney wouto like to be able to offer such programs if
riiiint"O by listener demand. This dish ii necessary to receive those programs;
A scALA PR-950 Paraflector (classified as a satellite dish by the Town of Vail Zoning
coo., ra.sa.s2o (b)oecaule ii irs size)woutd be instailed as high as possible on the
false stairwell tower near tfre tlortn Froitage Road, at the edge ol lhe p.arking lot' The
Oimeniions are 68" x 36" x 18". This antenna would be used to transmit the station's
progi"t. tiom the studio to a relay point atop Dowd Junction' and then on to the
lr"n"irirt"r at Castte Peakin Eag6.'A line oi sight path is necelsary for this
transmission. Locations iannei6acX on the lot {from the North Frontage R.oad) are
shielded by a ridge east oido*n Junction that blocks the transmission path;
A SCALA HDCA - 5 Series Yagi antenna would be installed at the same location' This
antenna would be used to rec"jue the station's broadcasts for monitoring at the studio'
ifre Aimensions are 62" x 56". This antenna ensures the station has a clear signal' to
make broadcasts oPtimal; and
A SCALA CA7 - 460 Yagi antenna would be installed at the same location. This antenna
would be used to recetve O"ti t"nt via a special radio link from the transmitter back to
the studio. The dimensions are 40" x 13.5i' x 4". The FCC requires that the radio station
be able to monitor transmitter power and other parameters. All of these antennas are
receive-only antennas, except the Paraflector. The link transmitter used with that
antenna operales at onty 1o'watts. At that power, radio energy exposu.re to the public.is
;i;i;"t. Currentty, tne Fcc toirows 1982 ANSI standards, which specifically exempt lhis
iyp" oiiyit"r troin tne applicable environmental regulations because of the extremely
low power involved.
BACKGROUND
ln December of 1987, K-Lite, now known as KTUN Radio, requested a va.riance to allow
tor Jsatettite dish (.13 teet in'Oiiteter) lo service the radio station located in the Vail Run
Building. This request was inresponse to K-Lite's relocation from Eagle, to the Vail Run
iliililg. Town oiVait ordinancei timit tne size of satell1e dishes to I feet for single
lamily ind business uses, and '12 feet for 4islres serving multi-family dwellings' The
.
n""ii"g and Environmentit Commission (PEC) approved the variance request at their
December 14, 1987 meeting.
In February of 1989, K-Lite, requested a variance to allow for the installation of a second
i"t"ttit" Oi6n at the Vait nun eLiitOing. This dish belonged to K-Lite Rad.io which was a
iommerciat tenant within ihe buildirig. Section 18.58'320, D1 ol the Vail Zoning Code
states:
,,No more than one satellite dish antenna shall be allowed on any lot as
delineated on the official Town o{ Vail Zoning Map"'
ThePECapprovedtheVariancerequestattheirFebruaryl3'1989meeting'
In October of 1989, K-Lite Radio, submitted a request tor a variance to allow lor the
installation of a third satellite dish at the Vail Run Building. At that time, K-Lite was using
a 13 foot diameter receiulng antenna for its CBS Networli afliliation Emergency Action .
frfotifi."iion System and ishusic programming network' The purpose of the additional
"nt"nni
*"J io .rp"nd their broailcait services and specialized programming' This
antenna was to be '10 feet in diameter. Due to the difference in the locations of the fixed-
;rbit satellites (13-9 degrees and74 degrees), it was not possible to receive both signals
with the existing t3 fodt anlenna. The PEC approved the variance request at their
October 23, 1989 meeting.
III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of section 18.62.060, criteria and Findings, of the Town ol Vail Municipal code' the
Community Development Department recommends afproval of the r.equested variance to locate
two satellite dishes at a diam'eter greater than nine febi, with the northern-most dish encroaching
appr*ir"t"fy five leet into tne reduired 20 setback. Additionally, the Community Development
d,ip"tft"nt
':.commends
deniat of the request to locate three antennas on the false stairwell
to*e, on North Frontage Road. The recommendation is based on the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
l.There|ationshipoftherequestedvariancetootherexistingor
potential uses and structures in the vicinity'
satellite Dishes
Limitations on the permifted number ol satellite dishes per lot or property
were established because of the potential aesthetic impact of several . .
dishes located on one property. in evaluating the potential impacts of this
request, consideration'ol the froposed location is an important factor.
As it relates to this request, the applicant is proposing landscape
screening with three iolorado Spruce, two spruce north of the two dishes
and four-Aspens south of the two dishes. Additionally.-the applicant is
proposing t6 straighten the sidewalk adjacent to Unit FG and erect a
ienbe coi.rposed 5f stucco masonry columns and six foot vertical boards
similar to those in color to the commercial buildings in Vail Commons.
Antennas
The proposed location for the three antennas is on the lalse stairwell
tower. ihe false stairwell is intended to function as an architectural feature
on this site. The false stairwell tower is also the highest peak within this
development which will greally enhance its visibility. stall believes lhat
additioiral efforts should ne maOe to preserve the function and aesthetic
character of this tower. More specifically, staff believes there are more
creative ways in which to obscure the antennas from view, while achieving
the requireci line-of-sight transmission to Dowd Junction. The antennas
could tie placed within the stairwell tower in order to provide an
appropriate screen.
Solar Vail received approval from the PEC on May 20' 1992 to
add four satellite dishes to their building. The criterion of the proposal
included the following: of the applicantadd of two false chimneys on each
side of the building; inat tne faise chimney chases were conslructed and
painted to match existing colors of the building. Fiberglass insets were
installed within the chases.
2.The degree to which rellef from the strict and literal interpretation and

fixed-orbit satellites, it is not possible for KTUN Radio to utilize only one .
satellite dish. Sfaff believes ihat granting approval ol this variance would
not be a grant of special privilege.
Antennas
While rhis type equipment appears to be necessary to operate a radio or
television O?baOcisiing studio, the applicant has not effectively
demonstrated etfective mitigaiion to the site views that will be impacted by
the proposed locations of the antennas.
The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public tacilities and
utilities, and public safety'
The staff can find no significant effect on any of the above considerations
as it relates to the satellite dishes or the three antennas'
before granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant ol special
privilege inconsiitent 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, salety or welfare, or materially injurious t0 properties or
improvements in the vicinity'
3. That the variance is warranted tor one or more of the following reasons:
The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
ph"ysical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title'
There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The community Development Department stalf recommends approval of the applicant's
u"rian., as requested for the two'satellite dishes. The parameters established by the
Satellite Dish Ordinance tetl intenOed to provide a geieral limitation in the size' number'

DATE: Febnrary 27,1997
SUBJECT: KTUN Radio
Staff reviewed the definition of "Lot or site line, front'' to determine whether it necessary for the
applicant, KTUN Radio, to apply for a variance to erect a fence over 3 feet in height, within the front
setback. The staff determined that because Chamonix Lane was not the primary access from the
steet onto tle lot or site, a variance was not neoessary.
However, the variances PEC noted for Sections 1E.58320 D3, to allow antennas greater than fifteen
feet in height and Section 18.54.050 C7o to allow two rooftop antennas to be placed on the false
stairwell tower near North Frontage Road must be resolved. Therefore, staff made a determination
to keep these items on the agenda as it was originally published, and when the applicant comes in with
a proposal staffwill evaluate it accordingly.

RE: Satellite Dish Variance Request
Dear Ms. Pifts:
The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) at their rcgularly scheduled mceting votcd to
approve your rcqucst for two satcllitc dishcs to bc locatcd adjaccnt to Building F6 within Vail
Commons. This approval permits two dishes, grcatcr than fiftccn fcct in diamctcr, to cncroach
approximatcly 5 fcct into thc 2O-foot sctback. Additionally, thc PEC's motions suggcstcd that the
landscape scrcening bc reconfigurcd and that thc dishcs bc switchcd, so that thc dish which is I 0
fcct in diamcter, bc placcd ctosest to Chamonix Lanc. Should you propose thc fcncc for thc
scrccning, it will requirc a hcight variancc, which thc PEC indicatcd would be lookcd upon
favorably.
Thc PEC also votcd to tablc thc requcst for varianccs to locate onc satcllitc dish and two antcnna
on the falsc stairwcll tower. The PEC suggcstcd that other ways of screening this cquipment
should bc cxplorcd. The staff will assist in thc location of such an architectural fcature within thc
vail commons dcvelopmcnt. The entire vail commons development has not yet bcen
constructed, thercfore, there may be opportunitics to construct an architectural fcaturc to
accommodate the necessary equipment.
Pleasc contact me to let me know how you wish to proceed. My phone number is (970) 479-2142.

Tammie Williamson, Planner
Department of Community Development
Town Of Vail
Dear Tammie.January 29,1997
Thanks for your letter of January 27th; enclosed are the items you requested. I understand
you have identified all the code sections that apply to our proposal, and that this
information is the last you will need. I understand you'll be able to complete your review
of the proposal so this can be an action item at the commission's meeting on Feb 24.
You may wish to make these changes when you advertise for the variances:
1. Three satellite dishes, not two, since the small PR-450 antenna is a dish by Vail
code.
2. Only one dish antenna (the PR-450) might be at a height greater than 15 feet.
3. Correct.
4. Correct.
5. I assume this is correct ... I haven't seen a copy of 18.54.050 C7.
As to the information you requested:
1. Pictures of the antennas were part of your January 13 memo to the commission;
l've included additionalcopies in this package for your convenience. Scale models
are also included.
2. Attached are two drawings showing the antenna mounting on the false stairwell
tower. All three of the antennas are designed to mount on a two inch galvanized
pipe, and are pictured that way on the manufacture/s cut sheets. One drawing
shows how the antennas would be stacked on the pipe; the other shows how the
pipe would be aftached to the structure, either on the west wall below the eave, or
on the sloped roof itself. The antenna location options are not changed from Andy
Bober's drawing'KTUN RADIO STATION ANTENNA LOCATIONS'.

[ffi.[,1
3. The color options for the dish covers are black, white, and dark green. I can't get
fabric samples from the manufacturer by your deadline. A photo of a similar dish
fitted with a black cover is enclosed.
I understand you've discussed the dish color and antenna location among the staff, and
there has not been a consensus that one color or location is obviously best. Of course,
these are subjec{ive evaluations, and a difference of opinion is reasonable. lt suggests that
there's some merit to each of the proposals, and none is obviously superior. lf that's the
case, l'm asking you to consider the cost and effort of compliance as the deciding factor.
lf half the staff likes option 1, and half likes option 2, why not let us go with the less
expensive option ... cost jg a factor.
You mentioned that it was unlikely the staff would be able to recommend approval of the
antennas on the stainvell. Are you required to make a yes'/no decision, or can you pass
that item on to the commission without recommendation? At our work session, I gathered
that they were receptive to the proposal, understanding that the visual impact could only
be minimized, not eliminated. Please let me know if that's possible.
Also, could you please fax me a copy of your memo to the commission when it's available
so I can review it before the meeting, and would you let me know if anything comes up that
woufd affect our getting a decision atthe 2124 meeting?
Thanks.

DESIGN FEATURES - SCALA HDCA SERIES YAGIS
RUGGED coNsTRucTloN: Because Scala HDCA yagis were designed with the professional and commerclaluser in mind thsy are built for maximum durabllity and reliabilityind superior electrical performance. Theserugged antennas are fabricated with anodized heavy-wall seamless 6061T'6 alumlnum drawn tuOing. The para-sitic elements ar€ made of %" O.D. aluminum tublng with a.049" wall. The booms are made ot 1.050', O.D.aluminum pipe. The elements are mdunted to the b;m with heavy anodized aluminum castings. These casilngsare ribbed al the stress points. No welds, which anneal and weaken aluminum, are depended upon f,o,mechanical supporl. All fastenings and hardware are stainless steel. This atten on to mechanical integrirymeans that a Scala antenna will provide many years of service and witl provide the userwlth real cost elf iciency.Low'band models teature inlernal inserls in elements lor exlra strength and to mlnimlze fa gue caused byresonant vibrations. Ten-element yagis lor FM and low-band TV channels are furnished wilh dlagonal boombraces for maximum reliabitity.
LOw NOISE LEVEL: Every precaution has been taken to eliminate the generation of noise from within theanlenna itself. All parasitic elements, including the boom, are of one-piecJconstruction. Feed points on drivenelements are welded. There are no mechanicai splices or outside sleeving to corrode and generate noise at alater date. The low noise factor and gain remain stablo throughbut th6 lif; of the antenna.
EXCELLENT TRANSMISSION LINE MATCH: The HDCA series yagis provide a maximum ySWR of 1.5:1 acrossthe specified channel' Scala's exclusive balun design provides a slable transformation trom the unbalancedcoaxial leedline to the balanced dipole feed. For trouble.free service, the rugged all-brass balun is sealedagainst moisture accumulation.
EASY ASSEMBLY: Alt scala.HDCA yagis can be easily assembled in a few minutes. All necessary hardware andassembly instruclions are furnished. All yagis include stainles steel U-bolt assemblies and hiavy aluminumcastings tor attachmenl to a circular support_]rvith an outside diameter of 2" lo 2t'.
CHolcE oF coNNEcToRS: While Scala reiommends the use of 7$ohm N type connectors tor optimumperformance and reliability, the HDCA yagis are available with UHF or F type connectors al no extra cost.
STACKING HARNESSES AND AccEssoRlES: HDcA yagis may be stacked in various arrangemenrs to increasegain and to modify patlerns. scala can supply coaxial stacking harnesses for twcbay and four-bay arrays whichptovide optimum impedance matching and lowest loss. Coniact Scala for stacking dimensions and for infor-mation on methods of arranging antennas for maximum tront.to-back ratios and foi reducing co.channel inter-'ference. Polar pattern plots tor HDCA yagis are available ffom scala on request. In addition, Scala offers
f actory'assembled coaxial line assemblies to the customer's length and connector specifications. Thesecustom-made cable assemblies eliminate the problems and inconvenience often encountered during fielctassembly.

Town Of Vail
DearTammie, January 21,1gg7
Thanks for your leffer of January 14th; you should be receiving some drarrings this
moming from Andy Bober at Vidor Mark Donaldson.
At the informational meeting um had with the commisstoners, it uras clear that they were
concemed wrlh the safety and esfrptics of our proposal- They suggested that the site of
the satelllte dish€s bs fericed as rrrell as landscaped. In order to do so, the sidewalk to the
ead umuld harc to be mofed to crEate ditiornl roan. We've disqrssed this problem with
John Calchrtoll at City Markst and rrc have a plan that inclucles relocating lhe sider€lk-
We re asking that the rew side*alk locdlm be 4proved as part of this proposal, and the
(o<isting) sideualk br.rilding permit modified so it doeen't have to be addressed separately
lator.
The space is sdill very limited, and the fence on the west side will have to be on the
property line. I don't see how it will be possible to provide landscaping on that side. We
have added an addilional Coloredo Sp,ruce on the souttftr€st oomer of the fence, and a
scattering of potentillas. Since we face the parking and service area behind Vail Das
Schone, and our dishes are located above their dumpsters, I dm't think we're causing a
serious esthetic problem.
The arcfritects have suggestect e style of fence that will complement the design fheme of
the proiect, wilh stumfaced nnsonry columns at the comers and sfx fmt vefiical boards
similar to the siding on the commercial buildings.
Thet€uras also a qrsUon of the heigtrt of fie dish in rplation to Chamonix lane. The taller
(rear) dish will be less than tuelve feet above grade at the bad,c The architect's chawing
shole the ground elevation at ths dish to be 7963feet so the dish rould aboutfive feet
abqre the 7970bd right of rvay of Chammix hne. Of course, the proposed landscaping
(tt F Cdtrado spruce ed m aspen behind the disfi) uouH blodr the view forn Chamonit
anpray. All this is stloi,n on tfrc arcfiitecfs drawirp.
We would like to ofier yql some options with the dish colors:
1. Theycan be leftwhileto mahh thewinterscene.
2. They can be dark green to matctr the summr coloration.

3. They can be blad< br the darlcst appearance-
Wg'd g€ferwhite since it best matdres the landscape during Vail's busies{ season, and
since the dishes are already that color. lf lhe commissioners rrould prefer dark green or
Had<, ure're happy b 6mply, hrt we trrould like the choioe of pairrting th€ dish or fitting it
with a colorecl coverb drbve the desired app€rmoe.
We uant to olfer you some options for the antennas on the false stainrcU toi/er, ao well.
We had propose<l mountirE the antennaa on the vlest face below ttp eave (location A on
lhe drarirB). Andy Bober, uf,ro $aes yu.r onsrr br the appeatanco of the ins{allation,
propo€ed focdirtg them on the rrcrfr side above the eave (location C). He believes the
staiftl€llrwuld Hockthe view and ntake the antennas less conspiarous from the ftontage
toad, ard that this wqrH be a befrer bcdkn A s'milar locdftn (B) on the west side above
tlre eave as also possible, but uould probabty be mor€ visible.
Obvirusly, the soope of this proird has grown far bepnd wtrat vre hact hoped. lf rre nprre

install additispl antennas wilhin lhe bnce as mey be rreeded in the lirture, prwided

Please let me laow if you need any addiUonal inbrmation.

3. A request for a variance from Section 18.58.320, Satellite Dish Antennas, D1 , 4, 6, to
allow two satellite dishes to be installed at the northwest corner of the Vail Commons
property, located at 2099 N. Frontage Road wesv vail commons'
Applicant: KTUN RadioPlanner: Tammie Williamson
Tammie Williamson gave an overview of the request and said that today staff had amended the
request to be a workiession. She said the applicant was being represented by John Banks, who
was present, and he would like to have some guidance from the PEC at this meeting.
Greg Moffet asked if, during the site visit, something changed to request this be changed to a
worksession?
Tammie Williamson said she understood the location of the equipment was to be inside, but that
now the antennas were on top of the building and visible and staff would need to lurther review
the new location of the antennas. She asked if, because of this change and staff needing a
chance to review the request, should we table the item?
Mike Mollica said the PEC could table the item, but since the applicant was here and wanted
guidance, he suggested making this a worksession for the request'
Greg Moffet said, for the record, that KTUN was a customer of his and if anyone saw a conflict
he would recuse himself.
John Banks, Director of Engineering lor Moss Entertainment (the parent company of KTUN), said
there was a potential impacl on aesthetics with the relocation of the anlennas. He explained that
some of the antennas were on the Vail Run site. He said that there wele two locations on the
site for installation. The first installation would have two dishes on the northwest corner dug into
the hillside with screening. The second installation had a dish looking at a different satellite
which was needed for programming that might be required in the future. This location was near
the Frontage Road, installed on the lront corner (of the west side) of a lalse stairwell. John said
that two antennas needed to be installed that were smaller than a large satellite dish, or the size
ol a lawn chair. He explained that the stairwell was the only place on the lot that could relay to
Dowd Junction, since ihe view lrom the Vail Commons site was blocked by a hill. By locating the
antenna on this stairwell at Vail Commons, the relay would work.
Greg Moffet asked lor any public comment. There was none.
Galen Aasland said the two dishes by Chamonix had no mitigation and were extremely visible.
He said that the towers needed to not look like a navy ship.
John Banks said that they were not intended to be higher, just put on the west face.
Planning and Envirorunental Commission
Minutes
January 13, 1997
I,:
Greg Moffet asked about cutting into the stairwell?
Diane Golden said we needed to get input from the neighbors to the north and asked if they had
been notified.
Tammie Williamson said they had been contacted, however, to date there had been no
response.
Diane Golden asked if the antennas were mesh.
John Banks said the antennas wete solid fiberglass, as mesh were used for consumer use and
also mesh was not recommended with a heavy snowload'
Greg Moffet asked how the applicant would keep kids off of them.
John Banks stated that they were up off the ground.
Greg Moffet saw it as a great place for kids to hang out and therefore, needed an enclosure with
a wall.
Mike Mollica gave the example of the Holiday Inn and stated that they used a low fence to screen
the dish and to keep kids out.
Greg Moffet would like to see a wall.
Diane Golden said a wall was a great idea.
Henry Pratt said that a fence and landscaping were not adequate enough to screen the dishes
and he also encouraged the applicant to paint them, as white was too stark. He suggested that
the applicant cut a hole in the roof of the stairwell and hide the antennas in there, as it was a
false stairwell.
John Schofield echoed Henry's comments. He would like information on the height of the dishes
and il they were 15' from the right-of-way.
John Banks said the satellite dish antenna will not be higher than the stairwell and that it would
not work inside, because the stairwell was steel.
Gene Uselton agreed with Greg regarding the fence and that to obscure it from any views from
Chamonix was good. He asked if it would be under the eave so it would disappear.
John Banks said it would have some depth.
Greg Amsden asked if the location of the pedestrian walkway was fixed because as it was now,
the applicant would have to go onto the adjacent neighbor's property to plant trees.
Mike Mollica said this would be an opportunity to modify the bend in the walkway. He said staff
could talk to Andy Knudtsen regarding that.
Planning and Environmental Commrsston
Minutes
January 13, 1997
I
Greg Amsden was in favor ol a fence and also strongly was in favor ol painting anything exposed
to tie into the surrounding landscaping.
Greg Moffet said it was not a problem to grant a variance, since our goal was to keep businesses
in Town. In terms of the placement of satellite dishes, he didn't see a problem with placement
under the sloped roof and painted a matching color. Greg liked Henry's alternative of cutting out
a window and having it enclosed.
John Banks asked stafl what the fence height allowed in Town was?
Mike Mollica said 6'. Mike also asked about snow removal from the dishes and was in favor of a
mesh dish.
John Banks said they would sweep off any snow that accumulated'

installations complies with these guidelines. The
guidelines work in concert with regulations outlined in
Section 18.58.320 of Vail Municipal Code. The following
guidelines shall be used by the design review board in
evaluating applications for satellite dish antennas:
I. All wiring and cable related to a satellite dish
antenna shall be installed underground.
2. The use of mesh satellite dish antennas is highly
encouraged because of their ability to be more
sensitively integrated on a site or structure.
. 3. The use of appropriate colors shall be required to
provide for a more sensitive installation whe n
integrating a satellite dish antenna onto a site or
structure. Color selection for a satellite dish antenna
should be made with respect to spccific
characteristics on a site or structure. Unpainted. surfaces and satellite dish antennas with reflective
surfaces shall not be allowed.
4. Locations of satellite dish antennas shall be made so
as ,to ensure that the satellite dish antenna is screened
from view from any public right-of-way or adjacent
property to the highest degree possible, In addition
to effective site planning, screening a satellite dish
antenna may be accomplished through the use of
landscaping materials, fencing, existing structures,
(Vail l-2t-86)4s4i

sub-grade placements or other means that both
screen the satellite dish antenna and do not appear
unnatural on the site.
Satellite dish antennas on or attached to existing
structures shall be permitted provided the satellite
dish antenna is architecturally integrated into the
structure. Effective use of color shall be required to
ensure compatibility between the satellite dish
antenna and existing structure. The use of a mesh
material shall be strongly encouraged when
attempting to integrate a satellite dish antenna onto
an existing structure.
Landscaping or other site improvements intended to
screen a satellite dish antenna propose d on any
application shall be completed prior to the issuanceof a building permit to install a satellite dish
antenna. A letter of credit equal to one hundred
twenty-five perce nt of the costs of installing
landscaping or site improvements may be submitted to
the Town 'of Vail if seasonal weather conditions
prohibit the installation of landscaping or site
improvements.All improvements required by the design review
board for the purpose of reducing the visibility of
satellite dish antennas shall remain in place so long
as the satellite dish antennas remain in place unless
permission to alter or remove said improvements is
obtained from the design review board. All satellite
dish antennas and all improvements required by the
design review board to reduce the visibility of
satellite dish antennas shall be adequately maintained
and repaired and shall not be allowed to become
dilapidated or fall into a state of disrepair.

BACKGROUND
ln December of 1987, K-Lite, now known as KTUN Radio, requested a vatiance to allow
for a satellite dish (13 feet in diameter)to service the radio staton located in the Vail Run
Buitding. This request *;;'il;;p;;J" to x-t-it"'s retocation trom Eagle to the Vail Run
Building. Town of Vaif orOlnancei iimit tne size of satellite dishes to 9 feet for single
famity and business u..tlinO I Z feei tor dishe-sserving multi-famiry- dy-e]tjnOs' however'
the planning and Environmint"rborrGrion (pEC) approved the variance request at
their December'14, 1987 meeting.
In February ol 1989, K-Lite, requested a varianci to allow for the installation of a second
satelire dish at the Vait R;; dJii6i6.-in" V"ir Run Building alreadv h?9 ?n existing

However, the PEC approved the variance request at their February 13, 1 989 meeting.
ln october of 1989, K-Lite Radio, submitted a request for a variance to allow for the
installation of a third sat"ltite oisn at the vail Run Building' At that time, K-Lite was using
a 13 foot diameter teceiuing a;ienna for its CBS Network affiliation Emergency Action
.
Notitication System and its music programming network. The purpose of the additional
antenna *as io erpanO 11.1gir Oroaicait services and specialized programming' This
antenna was to be t O telt in diameter. Due to the di{fbrence in the locations of the fixed-
orbit saiettites (t 39 degreei ana ru degrees), it was not possible to receive both signals

October 23, 1989 meeting.
III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.62.060, Criteria and Findings, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code' the
Community Development-Oepartment recommends approval ot the requested variance' The
recommendation for approval is based on the following factors:

Dear Tammy,December fj, 1996
Athched is a sketch from Victor M6rk Donaldson, Arctritec'ts, They determined that there
wes not enough room loft on the roof of the truck loading dook to pr.rt the two largc satcllite
dishes in the originel proposed location.
They're proposing €n altemete gite at the northwest comer sf he lot as sho,vn. The overall
height of the dishes will be approximately eighteen feet above ground.
The other srnall antermas (by SCALA) waJd s{ay at their orpinal proposed location on the
fialse tower nearest the lrontage road at the soutl|rr/e$ comer d the building.
lf tlere are any other quesiions, you can reach me at 970-94$85€/., or cellular 970-379-

Dear Tammy,December3l, 1996
On Thursday January 2, ycu should receive a revised drawing of the site, courtesy of Andy
Bober at Victor Mark Donaldson, Architects. lt reflects the following changes:
Ac'tual sizes of tfe dishes are sfiorn at 13' and 10' diameter, respectively. Location of the
dishos in the setback is a result of Mr. Bobeds discussion with Andy Knudtson of your
office,
l-teigtlts are calculated using the actual tilt of the diEhes, and the maximum 30 inch code
exca/ation- Heights shorr are the maximum; the actual heights may be as much as two
feet lower, depending on field conditions.
The landscape pbn addsfo.rr aspen trees and includes two Colorado spruce that were a
part of the originalVail Commons proposal.
As I mention€d, we periodically sweep the dishes clear of snow during lhe winter to keep
them operating. Also, we need to polver the dishes from the sarE emergency po\fler as
the rest of the studio equipment to insure uninterrupted operation These two problems
make it imprac,ticalto leave the disheS at the cunent Vail Run location
Thanks for all your help on the pr,[ect. Any questions, you cen reach me at 970-379-O481
cellular. or 970-945€564. office.

DearTammy,Decomb€r 13, 1996
ln response to your folloiv up questions about the two proposed large satellite
1. The dishes are white.
2, We oan dig the diehee into the hilhidc to a depth of thirty incfres; I understand that if we
dig any deeper, we would have to provide a safety railing al the edge of the excavation.
It seemB prudent to avold creating the hazard in the first place by limiting the cfepth to the
thirty inch code specification.
3. Andy Bobeis ebvaton sketcfr rnay be inacanratc; I bslievc ha assumed nominal 15 fout
dishes in$tead of the adual diemeters of 13 feet and 10 feet. Since you indicated that lhe
overail heigm was a conosTl, I lev|e\iled the satuation in more deteil. At vail's latitude, the
dishes will be tilted back aboq,rt 49 deqrees. This redr.rces lhe overall height somsrhet; the
support strudure is appoximately four feel tell, and we propose to dig inlo the hilfside 2.5
feet (approximately 30 inches). Tho attached sketch of the large dish shons how these
fadors afiecl the inEtalled freight Although l'm projecting a height of ten feet above grade
atthe rear of fl1e disfi, I belia/eure shoulcl specfy a rnaximum heigiltt of twelve feet to allow
forarry unerpected site problernswe might cncounter. Obviously, the smaller dish, if and
when insialled, vvould be lower.
4. ldo not klow if the proposed location encroacfies on the required setback or other sitc
easernents at thts tlme. I will Et you lfio\r, ae soon as I get the ang\rver, Does your offioe
have a dra$,irE that sholre the ees{ilrents and setbd<s for th€ site? lf so, it would be very
helpful if I could sce that drawing to make the determination.
5. Alttrough we can't plant shrubbery in fiont of the dishes that woulct block their viar of
the satellite, rrre san screen the side And back We propose to plant four aspen trees, 8ix
to eigffi feet in height, two eacfi on the north ancl easl side of the upper dish. The lrees
would be six to ten feettrom the dish, wih the exacl locations selected to provide the bes{
screening. Asilrese tees mature, they should soften the view of the dishes es geen from
Chamonix Lane. Because the propooed location is neerthe laundromat, parking erea and
dumpster betrirrd Vail de Schone, screening on the west side seems to be unnecessary,

TO: Planning and Environmental Commissron
FROM: Massey Pitts, KTUN Radio
DATE: November 18, 1996
RE: Request for Variance for two satellite dishes at Vail Commons project
Enclosed is a specific description of the antennae and dishes that we are requesting
to install at the Vail Commons project.
KTLIN curently gas permission form the Town of Vail at Vail Run for all of these
antennas.
These antennas are essential to the operation of KTUN in order to serve Eagle
County.
KTIIN is moving its offices to Vail Commons in May of 1997. KTIIN is therefore
requesting to move existing equipment to the Vail Commons from Vail Run.
KTLIN welcomes any suggestions that The Commission might have for us in order
to move forward with this endeavor.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

We propose to instatl a variety of antennas at the new KTUN Radio studios at the City
Market developrnent in Vail. These antennas are typical for broadcast stations, and
necessary for the operation of KTUN.
A 3.8 met ite dish to be instalfed now at ground level above the truck
loading rear part of the development. This dish noufd be us€d to receive
CBS, CNN, NBC and many other sourtes. This is the rnost common satellite used by radio
stations across the courtry for progrem clistribution. The national emergency alert system
depends on these networks to distribute information in a national crisis.
dish whicfr may be neectd in thefuture at the same location.
of sp€cial intere3t to Vail listeners are tEnsmitted on satellite Galaxy
4, and separate antenna. While KTUN doesn't presently carry the Denver
Broncoa, Rockies, or Avalanche, or CU football or basketball, or CSU fmtball, we would
like to be abfe to olbr thern if the listener dcmand would support it. This dish is necessary
to receive thos€ programs.
A Scala PR-950 Paraflector antenna (classified by Tovrn zoning cpdes as a sdellite dash
alttrogh il qggg not tednnically reoeive sgnals frorn a satellite) would be installed as high
as ewsibtq$p/th€ u,est face of a false stainrell tower near the fronlage road at the edge
of the parkifu lot. This antenna is used to transmit thc station's prograrns from the studio
to a relay point atop Do'rd Jundion, *rd then on to ttp transmittsr at Castle Peak in Eagle,
A line of siglrt path is necessary br this trasrnission, ard this is virtually the only practical
site on the developrnent. Locations farther back on th€ lot (trom the frorilage road) are
shrelded by a ridge east of Dorvd that blocks the hEnsmission path.
A Scala HDCA-S series Yagi antenna nrould be installed at the same location. This
antenna u/ould be used to receirre the station's broedcasts for monitoring at th€ studio. lt's
critical for the station to have a clear signal; we need to make sure our broadcasts are
technically optimal.
A Scala CA7-460 Yagiantenna would be installed at the same location. This antenna
rrrould be used to receive dda senl via a special radio link frorn the transmitl,er back to the
studio. The FCC requires that ure be able to monitor transmitter pou/er and other
parameters; this is horrrr it's done.
Afl of thgse antennas are receive only antennas, sxcept tor the Paraflector. Tfe link
transmitter used with that antenna operat€s at only 1o watts, about the safn€ power as a
nightlight. At that lorr poncr, radio energy exposure to the public is minimal Gunently the
FCC follorw 1982 ANSI standards, wtricfr specrfically exempt this type of system from the
applicable environmental regulations because of the extremely lor poti,er involved.
