Marbud Min~re Golf -2-5/2 8/85
This is oneof the few ine xpensive family activities ava ilable in Vail,
and it doesenhance the business activity of the whole area.It is used
byboth residents and guests.The proposed location adds another recrea-
tional activity close to the gondola,and will not alter the area in
an adverse way .We will completely remove the course by October 15th
each year.We will also police the area and restore the grass to its
original state upon removal."
CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon reviewof Section 18.60,the Community Development Department recommends denial
of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors:
Consideration of Factors
Relationship andimpactof the useondevelop ment objectives ofthe Town.
The purposeof the Co mmercial Core II district is:
To provide s ite s for a mixtureof multiple dwellings,
lodgesand commercial establishments ina clustered,
unified development.Commercial Core II district
in accordance witht he VailLionshead Urban Design
Gui de Plan and Des ign Considerations is intended
to ensure adequate light,ai r,open s pace a nd other
ame nitiesa ppro priate t ot he per mitte dty pes of
building a ndusesand t o maintaint he des ira ble
qualities ofthe district by e st ab lishing appropr ia te
site deveopment standards.
Staff believes that the ~ini ature golf cour se wi ll cre ate negative
impactson t he character of the open space directly s outhof the
LionsheadCenter Condominiums.It is true that the Co mmercial Core
II area doesallow for a mi xof dwellings,lodgesandcommercial
establishments.However,the Com mercial Core IIzone is also
intended to provide openspaceand "other amenities appropriate
tothe permitted types of building a ndusesandto maintainthe
desirable qualities of th e di stric t."(Section 18.26.010).Lionshead
isan intensely developed area .It i s felt that the open s pace
surrounding the commercial a reaofLionsheadsh ouldbepr eserved to
soften the existing develo pment.Cement runway s andsi dewalks wo uld
be visible durin g th esp ringand f all wh ich c re atenegativei mpacts
onthenatu rall andscaping th atnow exists on thesi te .Given this
concern,t he staff f eels t hat th e mi niature go lf course i n this
particul ar loca tion isnot appropriate.This is nottos ay th at
another site within the Commercial Core IIzone district mightnot
be suitable for this type of use .
The effect oftheuse on li ghta ndai r,distribution of popul ation,
transportation facili tie s,utilit ies,schools,par ksa nd recre ation
facili tie s,a nd other public facili ti esneeds.
So me ne gative im pact is a nti c ipated.The rei sapossibil ity tha tt he
cement sidewal ks and go lf runwa ys would crea te pro blems for pedestrians

aesthetic softfle site when the s now begins to melt.
Effect upon traffic wi th par ti cular r eference to congest ion,a utomotive
andpedestrian s afetya ndconvenience,traffic f low and cont ro l,access,
maneuver abili t y,andre mov al of sn ow fro m t he street and parkin g area s.
The Recreation Department has stated that there will bea safety problem
by locating this typeoff acility a djacenttothebik e path .The
applicants have stated tha t the golf course will maintain aone foot
buffer between the bi kepathand fence.However,on the plans the
fence for the golf course is loca ted directly ontheedge of the bike
path.The Recrea ction De partment also state d t he ir preference tohave
opens pace one i ther side of the path.They em pha si ze that parti cular ly
in the more deve lopeda reas of Vail,the opena reas are of premi um
value.The Fire Depar tm ent state d th at th ey would like tohavea
greater distance between the bike pathandthefence surroundin gt he
miniature golf course aswellto a ll ow for emergency acces s (mini mum
2 feet buffer).In general ,the miniature go lf course crea te s ne ga tive
i mpacts on pedes tr ian safe tyand convenience,a s wellast raffic f l ow.
Effect upo n t he cha ra cterofthe a reain wh ich th e pro poseduseist o be
lo cated,inc l ud ing the scale andbul k of t heproposed usei n rela tion to
surroundin g uses.
The Lionshead Center Con domini um building,especi all y on t he s outh s ide,
has predominantl y ar esident ial c haracter.It i sfe ltth at t hecommercial
nature of the miniature gol fcourse i s in comp a tib le with t hecondominium
use directl y adjacent t oth e site.The lights fo r even inguseand
ope ration of t he golf course until 10:00 pm ma y create negat ive i mpac ts
for those units fac ing out over t he golfcourse s ite.Staf f "be l ie ves
that the miniature golf course wouldhaveanega tive im pacton the
existing character of the openspace area.
RELATED POLICIES IN VAIL'S COM MUNITY ACTI ON PLA N
The Co mmunity ActionPlan states inthe Pa rks andRecreat ion sec ti on
that "Vail should provide relativel yundeveloped opensp acesacc essible
to the core area s(e .g.bi kingpa thsandbenchesa lo ng Go reCree k,con-
version of portions of those paths t o cros s-country s ki trail s )."
Open spaces adj acent to Vail's core areas a re ani mportan ta ss et t o
preserve for the community.The location of the go lf course onan
existing opensp ace area would create negative i mp acts on t heopen
space character of the l and behind the Lionshead Center buildin g.
Secondly,int he Econo mi c Consideration s section o ft he Con munity
Action Plan,it is stated th at curr ent s um mer programs sho uld be
maxi mu mized as we ll a sopport uni ti esa nd fac i lit ies.The min ia ture
golf course does provide an addi t ionalsuumer am usem ent.Ho we ver,
staff feels t hat th is particu lars ite is no tthemost appropriat e
location for a miniature golf course.It i s felt th at a comple tely
removable golf coursewouldhave l ess imp act th an a golf course havin g
permanentce ment walksand runway s.

Such other factors and criteria asthe Commission deems applicable
to the proposed use.
The environmental impact report conce rning the proposed use,if an
environmental impact report is required byChapter 18.56.
FINDINGS
The Community Development Department recommends that the conditional
use permit be approved/denied basedonthe following findings:
That the proposed location of theuse is inaccordwiththe purposes
of this ordinance andthepurposes of the district in which the site
is located .
That the proposed location of theuse and the conditions underwhich
it would be operated or maintained wouldnotbe detrimental to the
public health,safety,or welfare or materially injurious to properties
or improve ments inthe vicinity.
Thattheproposedusewould comply witheach of the applicable
provisions ofth is ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that this proposal be denied.The location of the
golf course on this site will create safety problems for cyclists
using thebikepathaswellas for emergency vehicles trying to
access theLionshead Condominium Building.Staff would like to
emphasize that theidea of a miniat ure golf course in the Commercial
Core IIzone district is notan inappropriate idea.However,it
is felt that this particular s ite is not themost suitable site for
a miniature golf course,especially apermanent golf course.
Any approvals that maybegiven for this project are contingent upon
meetingthe Town engineer's requirement that further information be
provided on the first six easements listed intheeasement report for
Tracts Cand D.Any approval that may begiven for this proposalmust
be contingent upon the clarification ofthe easements.If there are any
problemswiththeeasementswith respect to the miniature golf course,
the applicant wouldneedto reverse the proposal.

To the Town of V ail Planning Commission:
With regard to the Marbud Miniature Golf Course;we have
unfortunately been unable to finalize a location for same.Our
intentions to place the golf course just east of the gondola
building have been plagued by the discovery of the fact that
total usable space in the area is equal to just over half of the
3200 square feet necessary.
Consequently,I must asK that we be removed from the upcoming
meeting 's agenda and placed instead on the agenda for the
fol lowing meeting.I regret any inconvenience this has caused you
and will attempt to get this matter resolved just as soon as
humanly possible.
ThanK you for your consideration.
Sincer-ely,
Robert LeVine

Dear Kristen:
This letter shall serve as Vail Associates,Inc.'s
acknowledgment and approval of the proposed locati on for the
Mar-Bud Miniature Golf Course operation adjacent to the
Lionshead Gondola Building.
We feel that this operation,in its new proposed location
as generally indicated on the attached,will enhance the
overall guest experience in the Lionshead mall area.
In the event you should have any questions regarding
this matter,do not hesitate to give us a call.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
VAIL ASSOCIATES,INC.

To:Vail Planning and Environmental Commission
This letter is being sent as an addendum to our letter of May 7,
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to relocate the Marbud
Miniature Golf Course.After discussing the matter with Vail
Associates,owners of the proposed area of relocation,we have
determined that the possible detriment to the grass in that area
precludes us from its use.
We have,however,come up with another alternative.This being
the already asphalted area directly east of Frasier's
restaurant.In past years this area was used as an outdoor cafe.
Vail Associates Food Service intends to move that cafe towards
the mountain,to the same location where their barbeque is set
up during Spring skiing.
This move opens up the "courtyard"between the doors of
Frasier's and those of the rental shop beneath the gondola
steps.Naturally,the miniature golf course would be positioned
in such a manner as to not impede pedestrian traffic to either
of those facilities,nor any others.
All other aspects and conditions of our previous letter apply to
this newly proposed location.Vail Associates has given us their
support and approval in this matter.We hope you will be able to
do the same.
Sincerely,
Bud Benedict

We request a Conditional Use Permit to relocate the MarBud
Miniature Golf Course in the area between the fence,property
line of the Vail Lionshead Center building,and the bike path
in Lionshead immediately south of the Vail Associates Ski School
offices.
The same l8-hole miniature course will be used as previously
approved in 1980.We do,of course,refurbish it each year.In
the four years of operation,we have had no problems or complaints.
We do not allow drinking or unruly conduct on the premises.
Our hours would remain the same,10:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m.,
from June 15th to September 3rd.During the last three weeks in
September,we will be open weekends only,and then during the
hours 10:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m.
The lighting used was also previously approved and directs
all light down so as not to create a glare problem to any commer-
cial Or residential property.Our landscaping is portable and
does add to the ovenall appearance of the area.
This is one of the few inexpensive family activities avail-
able in Vail,and it does enhance the business activity of the
whole area.It is used by both residents and guests.
The proposed location adds another recreational activity close
to the gondola,and will not alter the area in an adverse way.
We will completely remove
year.We will also police the
original state upon removal.

Mr.Dick Ryan
Cormumi,ty Development

Vail,co 81657
Dear Dick Ryan:
HEAD
Ph one (3031 476-2471
Last year I was granted a one-year condi.trional,use for my r-1arBud Golf Course
located o n the deck west of the Lionshead Gonoola.
Our simrer'business was very successful and it met with the approval of all
Lionshead.It was successful in providing additional economi.ca.l recreation
and i t did provide much needed additional traffic for Lionshead.We have
had no negative cx:mrents and no problems of any kind.In fact,all comrents
were very positive.
I am at this tirre requesting the Vail Planning and Environrrental Corrmission
grant me a change in usage for this location.A change from conrrerci.al,to
recreation.All other aspects of the request the sane as the original r e-
q uest.
As y ou p ro bably recall the first year granted was rrore or less a probation
period.I trust we will not need this exercise each y ear.
Sincerely,
kG~Lr-

Peter Patten made the Staff Presentation on this item.He explained that the
Crest I S par-king was built before the curr ent parking forrruLa was star-ted,They
have 12 exce ss spaces according to thec ur rent formula.By adding the rreeting
roan,they wouldneed 5 rmre spaces than currently required and they would have
eliminated t hese spaces ,TheStaff is r ecorrrendi.ng denial of this and that they
could build the rreeting space if they were willing to make it sanller and include
the required spaces.

they now have are u sed.Nat Harris,representing
Sandy Mills said these unused spaces could be
else as therei s a great n eed for parking in Town.
Nat Harris said with the rise in gas prices,there is less travel by car and rrore
and rrore of their guest are coming by plane etc.The meeting space will not create
a need for rrore parking spaces.
Sandy M:ills asked why if the addition of a meeting room is such a plus,they
.iust don 't take two hotel rooms and make them into rreeting space.
F£I Drager said the rules say they have 12 in exce ss but need five more if they
add the rreeting room even though they probably wonI t use the five spaces.
Nat Harris said they do have roomon top for the five spaces.
Dan Corcoran said they can't exceed their site coverage on top.
Gerry White said he feels that meeting space do es attract more cars.Granting
this variance would be a dangerous precedent to set.
Nat Harris said they can I t convert two hotel roam.It just wouldn't be appropriate.
Gerry White said he feels this would be a very difficult thing to grant!
Dan Corcoran said if parking wasn't a problem,we wouldn't be building a
new parking structure.
The rranager of the Crest said people are already parking in their excess
spaces.
Dan Corcoran said if people are parking illegally there,the Town of Vail
will tow them.

We be lieve that landscaping ca n be most eff iciently handled in two phases
-see the ac compan ing sketch.Phas e I wou ld provide screening fromand of
the Fron tage Road.Aside from the planting of materials noted above,the
landscape budget of approximately $125,000 .00 for this phase must include
i r rigation,planting of poo l roof,andcon struct ion of t he b icycle pat h.
We are concerned that substanti al planti ng beyondwhat isshown wo uld
be endangered byco nstruct ion of the north and west build i ngs.Phase 2
l andscaping wouldp rov ide s creening along tile west prope rty li ne and
Lio nsr idge l oop.The re is a n ext ensive amount of s h a l l o \~te rracing be tween
t he north and west bu i ldings andIbe lieve that most of th e or namental
p lantingwould take p l ace d uring this phase,with some of these mat eri als
going back in to the Phase I area .
F ina lly,if constru ct ion wo uld permit ,vte would l ike to s tart some tree
p lant ing in Spring of 1981 possibly des ign a ting a port ion of the site as
a "nursery"from which we co uld transp lant as build ing construction
progressed .
·1 hope this gives you enough of a n outlin e on the iss ue of l andscaping.
I fyou have any questions p lea se do n't hesitate t oca ll me.

HE:PARKING VARIANC E REQUEsr FOR THE CREsr '10 REMOVE 12 UNDERGROUND

DESCRI PTIOO OF VARIANCE REQUE STED
The Cre st wi shes to conv ert space in their underground garaget oa meeting
room.This r equires r ennval of 12 p ark ing spaces.The Cre st is in a
IIDMF Zone .'Ih eCrestwas built un der t he f ormer parking r e gul ati ons which
required 12 rrore spaces t han u nd er t he presen t system.Thus,t he Crest
could remove 12 spaces without a variance.Howeve r,t he a ddit ion of
meeting space demands more p arking spaces and thus ,rrakes the fac ility
five spaces short .
CRITERIA AND F IND INGS
yP on r e view o f Criteria an dF indings,Section l 8.6 2 .0 ~O o f t he 1funi cipal
Code,t he Department of Commmity Deve]op;ncnt recomne nds L'enial of t he
r equested Variance based upon t he foll~ving fac tors :
Con sideration of Factors
Ther elationship of the requestedv ari.ance to o ther existi ng or p ot ential
uses and structtu'es in t he vicinity.
There are no effects u pon other structures in the Vi cinity.
The degree to which relief from thes t rict or l iter al i n terpretation and
.e nf orce ID2 nt of ·a ·s pec if ied regulation is n ece ssary to achieve compatibility
an d t mifonn ity o f tre3.tn£nt arrong sites in the vicinity or to attain the
ob jectives of this title without grant of special privilege .
The Staff feel s that theg ranti ng of this varian ce wouldb ea special
p rivilege.The applicant argues the underground spaces are not fully
utilized b ecause of the apparent trend o f less and less p r ivate a uto-
rrobiles c aning intoVail.The Staff agrees in t heory with thisan d
supports the a pp licant's efforts to reduce the nu rrb er of privatea utos
coming to the Cre st.
However,the Staff is not supporting the variance b ecause it would be
setting ad angerous precede nt for the conversion o f these garages in
TO\Vll and there is noguarantee the pre sent situation will c on tinue.

Al so,un derground parking serves the valuablep urpose of ridding the

Rerroval o fp r ivate undergrou nd parking spaces has a pote ntially n egative
inpacto n the Town I R p ublic park ing faci liti e s.However,the gran ting of
the variancewould require the a pplica nt to p ayt he $5CXJ O /space park ing
variance fee .
Such o ther f actors a.'1 d crit e r ia as the c omni ss ion deems app licable
to t he p ropo s ed varillilce.
It should b e noted t hatb y reduc ing the s ize of the rreeting space the
a pp licant co uld accomp lish t he elimina tion o f less parking spaces and
bringdown the n urrb er of new spac es required to possibly a tl o»t he addition
without a varian ce .This i s because the Cre st is 12 spaces o ver the present
p arking requirement.
FIND INGS:
The Plannin g a nd Env iorrurental Conmis sion s hall Iln ke the fo llowing
findin gsb efore granting a \~ar iance :
That the grant ing of t he variance wi ll not c on sit itute a grant of special
privilege incons iste nt vath t he limtations o n other properties classified ·
in the s ame district.
That the variance i s warranted for one or rmre of the following r easons :
There are exceptions or e xtraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the site of the variance that do not apply gene rally to other properties
in the same zo ne.
TIle strict or literal interpretation and e nfor ceneut of the specified

Re :The Marbud Go lf Course
Dear Bud:
•
officeof community development
At our inte rdepartmental meeting,the directors reviewed the Marbud
gol f course locatio n behind Alfie Pac ker's i n Lionshead.I t was felt
that if you could create a6 foot buffer ont he north side oft he bike
path between the golf course and thebike path,that t heproposal
would be much more acceptable tothe staff.We would prefer tosee
younotusethe cement pathways and pads for the golf course.However,
if Vail Assoc iates finds that it is absolutely necessary that youuse
cement,the staff would like to have a letter of credit oranescrow
accounttocoverthe cost of removing the cement and relandscaping that
area if you decideto close the golf courseinthe future.We will
also probably request that you improve thetypeof landscaping ··.that
you will use for your golf course.As an example,mo re planters and
more substa ntial trees would probably be requested inthe Design Review
Board stage.
I wou ld like toschedule this proposalfo r aPlanning Commission meeting
assoonas possible.Please let me know how you feel about these different
requests.Please call me assoonas possible.
Sincerely,

Marbud Miniature Golf -2-5/2 8/85
This is oneofthe few inexpensive family activities available in Vail,
and it doesenhance the business activity of the whole area.It is used
byboth residents and guests.The proposed location adds another recrea-
tional activity close to the gondola,and will not alter the area in
anadverse way.We will completely remove the course byOctober15th
each year.We will also police the area and restore the grass to its
original state upon removal."
CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon reviewof Section 18.60,the Community Development Department recommends denial
of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors:
Consideration of Factors
Relationship andimpactof the useondevelopment objectives ofthe Town.
The purposeof the Commercial CoreII district is:
To provide sites for amixtureof multiple dwellings,
lodgesand commercial establishments ina clustered,
unified development.Commercial Core II district
in accordance withtheVailLionshead Urban Desi gn
Guide Plan and Design Considerations is intended
to ensure adequate light,air,.open spaceand other
amenities a ppropriatetothe permitted t ypes of
build ing andusesandto maintain the desirable
qualities ofthe district by establishing appro priate
site deveopment standards.
Staff believes that the ~i n i a t u re golf course will create negative
impactsonthe character of the open space directly southofthe
LionsheadCenter Condominiums.It is true that the Commercial Core
II area doesallow for a mix of dwellings,lodgesand commercial
establishments.However,the Commercial Core IIzone is also .
intended to provide openspaceand "other amenities appropriate
tothe permitted typesof building andusesandto maintainthe
desirable qualities of the district,"(Section 18.26.010).Lionshead
is an intensely developed area.It is felt that the open space
surrounding the commercial area ofLionsheadshouldbe preserved to
soften the ex isting development.Cement runways and sidewalks would
be visible during the spring and fall which create negative impacts
onthe natural land scaping that now exists on the site .Given this
concern,the staff feels that the miniature golfcour se in this
particular location is not appropriate .Thisisnottosay that
another site within the Commercial Core IIzone district mightnot
be suitable for this type of use.
The effect oftheuseon light a nd air,distribution ofpopulation,
transportation facilities,utilitie s,schools,parks and recre ation
facilities,and other public facilit ies needs.
Some negative impact i s anticipated.Therei s u possibility that the
cement sidewal ks and golf runwa ys would crea te pro bl ems for pedes trians
walkingto the VailAssoci ates Sk iSchoola rea when the winter snows

beginto me lt.Also,thec e ment a reas may havene gative i mpacts on the
aesthetics of t he site when the snow begins to melt.
Effect upon tra ffic with particul ar reference to congestion,automotiv e
andpedestrian s afety a ndconvenien c e,traffic flowand control,access,
maneuverability,andr emoval ofsnow from the street andpa rkinga reas.
The Recreat ion Depart ment has st ated t hatt here willbea safety pr oblem
by l ocatingt his t ypeof facility adj acent to the b ike path.The
applicants have stated that the golf course wil l maintain a one f oot
buffer between the bi kepathand fence.Howev er,on the plans the
fe nce for thegolf c ourse is located di rectl y on the edge of the bi ke
path.The Re creac ti onDepa rtmental so s tated their preferencetohave
opensp ace onei th er s ideo f the path.They e mphasizet hat pa rticula rly
inthe mor edeveloped a reas of Vail,th e open areas are of pr e mi um
value.Th e Fire Department stated that t heywould li ke tohave a
greater distance between the bike path and the fe nce s urroundingth e
miniature go lf course aswellto allow for emergency access (minimum
2 feet buffer).In gene ral ,t he minia turegolf course creates ne gative
impactson pedestr ia n sa fetyandconvenience,as we ll a st r affi cf l ow .
Effect upon t hec hara cter of t he a rea i nwhic ht heproposeduse is to be
located,inclu dingt he scal e andbul k o fth e proposedusein relat ion to
su rro unding uses.
The Lionsh ead Cente r Co ndom ini um b uildi ng,e speci all y on th es ouths ide,
has predominantly a resi dential c harac te r.It is f elt t hat t he commerci al
nature ofthe miniaturegolf course i s incomp atible with t hecondominium
use directly adjacent to the site.The light s for e veninguse and
operation of the golf course unt il 10 :00 pm may cre ate negative i mpacts
for those units facing out over the golf cours e site.Staf f believes
that the miniature golf course wouldhave a negative impacton th e
existing character of the open space area.
RELATED POLICIES I NVAIL'S CO MMUNI TYACTIO N PL AN
The Communi ty Actio nPlan s ta tesi n t heParks and Recrea tio n sect ion

Open spaces adjacent toVail's core areas are ani mportant asset t o

STAFF RECOMME ND ATIO NS
Staff reco mmends th at thi s pro posal be denied.The location of the
golf course on t his s ite will c reat e safetyproble ms for cycli sts
using thebikepath a swellasfo r emergency vehicles trying to
access theLionshead Condominium Building.Staff would like to
emphasize that theidea of a miniature golf course in the Commercial
Core IIzone district i s notan inappropriate idea.However,it
is felt that this particul ar s ite is not themost suitable site for
a miniature golf course,e speciallyaper manent golf course.
Any approvals th at may begiven for th is pr ojec t arecontingent upon

To:Vail Planning and Environmental Commission
We request a Conditional Use Permit to relocate the Marbud
Miniature Golf Course in the area between the fenced property line
of the Vail Lionshead Center building,and the bike path in
Lionshead immediately south of the Vail Associates Ski School
offices.
The golf course runways as well as all side walks will be poured
concrete flush to the grass level.The golf runs will be carpeted
with green grass carpet.The 2"X 4"stop railings and the various
miniature buildings will be bolted to the concrete and will be
removed when not in use leaving the area level.The ticket shed,
benches,potted trees and portable fence will be removed at the end
\
of the summer,as well.(Note enclosed photos of the Glenwood
Springs course.)
I Walk ways will run around each golf hole,from one hole to
I
\
another as well as to the entrance,the exit and all exposed areas.
It is our intent to eliminate all wear and tear to the grass.
l our hours would remain the same,10:00 a.m.to 10:00 p.m.,from
\June 15th to September 3rd.During the last three weeks in
)September,we will be open weekends only,and then during the hours
j 10:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m.
The lighting used was previously approved and directs all light
down so as not to create a glare problem to any commercial or
residential property.Our landscaping is portable and does add to
overall apprearance of the area.
This is one of the few inexpensive family activities available
in Vail,and it does enhance the business activity of the whole
area.It is used by both residents and guests.
The proposed location adds another recreational activity close
,to the gondola,and will not alter the area in an adverse way.
We will completely remove the course by October 15th each year.
[
We will also police the area and restore the grass to its original
state upon removal.
~-This recreational activity is important to the business vitality
of the Lionshead area.We ask your support and approval in this
matter.
Sincerely,
Bud Benedict
