FROM: Department of Community Development/Peter Jamar
RE: Colorado Insiqht Sign Variance Request for Vail 21 Building
Description of Variance Requested
The applicant, Colorado Insight, requests a vaniance to
the Sign Code to allow 3 signs of approximately 3.8 square
feet each with the working "Ski Renta'ls" to be erected
along three sides of the Vail 21 Building in Lionshead.
The Sign Code does not allow s'igns wh'ich advertise the
service of a business. The purpose of any exterior s'ignis to identify the bus'iness or organization located within
a bui'lding. The Sign Code does allow windor signs for
the purpose of identifying products, services or events.
In this case it would seem that ski renta'l is a service
provided. by Colorado Ins'ight and that the appropriate placement
of these signs wou'ld be affixed to or hung inside the
window of the store.
The applicant has not related any special circumstances or
conditions which would prove to be a physical hardsh'ip
in this case.
Criteria for Approval
Before the board acts on a variance application, the appficant
must prove physical hardship, and the board must find that:
I
I
A. There are special circumstances or condit'ions applying
to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign
stt'uctures or other matters on adjacent lots or within
the adjacent right-of-way, which would substant'ially
restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question; provided'
however, that such specia'l circumstances or conditions
are unique to the particular business or enterprise to
which the app'licant desires to draw attention, and do not
apply general ly to all businesses or enterprises;B. That such special circumstances were not created by the
applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant;C. That the granting of the variance wj'll be in general
harmony with the purposes of this title, and wil'l not be
materially detrimental to the persons residinE or workinE
in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood,
or to the public welfare in general;
D. The variance applied for does not depart from the
provisions of this title any more than is required to 'identify
the applicant's business or use;E. Such other factors and criteria as the design review board
deems applicable to the proposed variance.
Staff Recommendations
The Department of Community Development Staff recommends denia'l
of the requested sign variance. There are no circumstances in
this case which wou'ld make it diffjcult for the applicant
to identify the business and services offered under the provisions
of the s'ign code.

Dea'r Sirs:
The Town of Vail is now collecting the parking fee. The parking fee is
assessed on the basis of new or additional development in the corunercialcores. This letter outl. j-nes the law concerning the parking fee and presentsa schedule for the payment of the fee. (see vai.lrs zoning code: 18.s2.100,
r8. s2. r608. )
The Town Council has set several different parking fee formulas for differenttypes of development. In May 1980 the Town Council lowered the comnercial parkingfee rate for ti{o years to encourage developers to begin work on ttreir Giplnsionor alteration plans. The cornrnercial rate was lowered from $5,000 to $3,000for each 300 square feet of expansi"on. Eating and drinking establishmentsare assessed differently. They are assessed at the rate of $J,000 for
every 10 seats of new seating capacity.
The Town councj-l did not lower the residential parking fee, and i.t remainsat $5,000 for every parking stall required for new development. (See theordinance for details.)
The commercial parking fee may be paid over a five year period, but theresidential fee nnrst be paid in one lunp surn. Paynent of the first fifthof the comnercial fee is due at the time the construction permit is issued.
The second fifth is due one year after thc perurit is issuei, the thirdfifth is due two years after the permit is lssuedn and so on until thefifth fifth is paid.
A schedule of your parking fee payments appears on the attached page.

Before the Pub'lic Hearing there was a Discussion of the County Proposalof the Westwood Subdivision.
Dick (yan gave the background on this item.
Basica'l ly they are coming to the Town and going to the County to see what
would be acceptable density there. They wouid like to see how nnny units
would be allowed there by the Town.
The Site is 47.7 acres.
John Kidneigh nnde his presentation. They wou'ld Iike to bui'ld 45 units,
a combination of Prirnry/Secondary Duplexes and Single Family residences.
The Staff fee'ls the density shou1d be about the same as a'llowed on the
Selby property. 21 Units were al'lowed on 43 acres.
They have applied for RSM zon'ing in the County but the County hasn't said
how many units they would a'l low there. Intermountain Engineering has saidthere are 2l buildab'le acres.
Dick Ryan asked the Board thejr fee'lings on this,
Ed Drager said he feels it should be zoned resource because he doesn'tfeel it is buildab'le land.
Jim Morgan sajd he thinks l9-20 units is appropriate. It should be comparableto the Selby land.

John Perkins said he doesn't think we can just pull a density figure from
the air. He said there are a'l ot of oroblems with this'land. He can't see
where they have spent $30,000 on engineering of this road system. John Kidneigh
said he has five different plans for the roads. ,lohn Perkins said he would Iiketo see thern.
Sandy Mil1s said she thinks the P'lanning Commission shou'ld send a letter
to the Forest Service,'BLM, or whomever to 'l et them know how unhappy we
are with these trade parce'l s which are not developable. She thinks the
road system shou1d not be private roads but shou'ld be bui'lt to Vail standards
so they could be plowed and fire trucks can get in there.
Gemy White asked if John Kidneigh feels they
He said he feels they can build 40 units.
John Perkins said he fee'ls they would have to
there.
Gemy White said he feels maybe they should make a site trip there.
Ed Drager made a motion that the P1 anning and Environmental Corrnission recorrnend
that the zoning.on this parcel be'left Resource. Sandy Mills seconded the motion.
Ed Drager, Sandy Mi11s, and Gerry Wh'ite voted for this motion. John Perk'ins and
Jim Morgan voted against. Both John and Jim felt units should be illowed on this
parcel but the developer wou'l d have to prove how many units can be built on it.

APPLICANT: Charles Rosenquist and Dick Brovn
ZON ING:
PROPOSAL:
Connercial Core II
Three Cormercial Expansion Areas containing 2'443 square'feet
The Applicants are proposing three areas of expansion to the Vail 2'l Building
that ibquiare several variances at this time. All the proposed expansions are
'in conformance with the Vai] LionsHead Urban Design P'lan that has been approved by
the P'lanning and Environmental Commission and Town Council. The proposed. zoning
ordinance cflanges for Commercial Core II that was in your packet last week wou'ld
permit the coniercial expansion proposed without going through-a variance.procedure.
lJnder the Zoning Ordinante changbs the applicant wou'ld be required to go.through
a process to sh6w how the propoied expansions neet the Vail Lionshead Urban
Deiign Guide Plan and Architectural Guidelines. The app'l icant is going before
the P'lanning and Environmental Commission at this time so that construction
can start in ttre spring and not be delayed to the suruner or fal'l .
The three conrnercia'l expansion areas are a .|,025 square foot expansion to the
ski shop, a 658 square foot expansion to Krismar LTD., and a 760 square.foot
expansibn in the area of the Place restaurant. All the proposed e.xpansions
woll d be 'l ocated on private property and not extend into Town of Vai'l - property.
The expansion areas iroposed by the appl jcant were shown on the Vail Lionshead
Urban besign P'l an foi severa'l ieasons. The two areas along the eas+' wall of
the building were shown to first improve the visual entrance of the Vail Lionshead
Ma'l'l and show visitors to this area that it is an active conmercial and pedestrian
area. Second, to extend the corrnercial space beyond the dominating buildings
and develop a pedestrian sca'l e for this area. There is a greater opportunity
for window shopping, added life, and vitality in Vail Lionshead.
The court yard by The Place restaurant is currently an uninv'iting place for
pedestrians. There js no draw of commercial activity, 'l andscaping' etc. to
bring people into this court yard. Proposed is cornmercja'l expansion that will
provide more vjs'ibjlity to nbw vacant storage space. In addition,.there will
be the opportunity for outdoor eating in the sun pocket in the north east
corner of the court yard.
The P'lanning and Environmenta'l Conmission shal'l make the fol'l owing findings
before granting a variance:
w
'PEC Memo
Vail 2'l--Page Two
l. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of
spcial 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 pub'l ic health, safety, or we'lfare, or materia'l 1y
iniurious to properties or improvemtns in the vicinity;
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the fo] 'lowing
reasons:
a. The strfct or litera] interpretation and enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in practical difficulty
or unnecessary physica'l hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of this title,
b. There are exceptiona'l or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions app'licable to the site of the variance that
do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone,
c. The strict or litera'l interpretation and enforcement of
the specified regulation would deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in
the same district.
(Ord. s (1973) paragraph 19.600.)
RECOMMENDATION:
The Corununity Development Departnent recommends approval of the variances
requested. The Staff considers that there is no grant of special privilege
since the Vai'l Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan and proposed ordinance changeswill permit this type of commercial expansion. The staff recommends that the
app'licant be required to pay the fee established by the Town Council. This
parking fee is currently under review by Council. Attached is the memorandum
discussing the parking fee. The applicant should also be required to participate
in ma11 improvements. The percentage of Town participation and private participation
and private participation in ma'l I improvements has not been former'ly estab'l ished.
The app'licant would like to see ma11 improvements take place on the east side
with the commerc'ial expansions. In the court yeard on the west side is private
property and should be'improved by the applicant with the consnercial expans'ion.
Another condition shoudl be that the applicant agrees not to remonstrate against
the special improvement district if formed for mall improvements in Vail Lionshead,
and agree to join the district.

RE: Variance Application for VaiL 2t Building, Lionshead
Dick:
Wheeler Piper/Architects as architects for Charles Rosenquist
and Dick Brown respectfully submits to you Ehe request for
variance to sections 18.26.O7O (setbacks)' 18.26.080
(distance between building), 18.26.I4O (landscape) and
78.26.150 (parkitg).
A11 sections of this variance request are presently
consi-dered for revision through to Master Plan for Lionshead.
These revisions, as Presented in the Master Plan and
Guidelines, could be effected by May t4, 198O which would
al1ow us Eo submit plannlng information to Ehe Planning
Conrnission on May 26, 198O (or a special date soon after
the 26th, since that date is a holiday). Approvals of
Planning Cormnlssion would allow us to proceed with presenta-
Lions to Design Review Board on June 5th & 72th, 1980.
This speculation to schedule is to explain our hardship. -If approval could be granted for this project by means of
a variance to sectioni noted above, the construction could
be started 45 days sooner or aPProximately May Lo 1980.
We believe this earlier starting date to be critical to
finishing prior to the beginning of the 198fI981 ski
season.
The following is a specific explanation of the sections
requesEed for variance.
