A request to modify the landscape plan was heard by the PEC to

requested to table this ilem until Aogust so that a suitable

At this meeting, the applicant proposed to add potted ptants to
the area in question instead of building the planter. The pEC
was in agreement that the applicant needed to comply with the
original landscape plan that had been approved, but would allow
for a modification to be made to the proposed planter so that the
new windovr that is slightly above grade would not have to be
moved. [n constructing the addition, the applicant has installed a
window vyhich exlends nearly to the ground on the north
elevation of the bay window addition- lt was suggested by the
PEC that the bottom of the planter could be excavaled deeper
and a tree planted without any exlerior modifications being made
to lhe building. Also, the PEC agreed that the planter could be
altered from the originally approved 18-inch tall stone-faced
planter to a lower height (6-12 inches) and that stucco could be
used instead of the stone.
The applicant novr wishes the PEC to reconsider allowing for the
pots t0 remain in place of the planter. Therefore, the request
belng heard today ls to modify the landscape plan
assoclated with the prevlously approved exterlor alteratlon

DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTED
On February 24, 1992, the PEC approved an exterior alteration and a Site coverage
variance request lor ttre Sliler Building. Construction on the project is now
substantially completed, and at this time the applicant is requesting the PEC approve a
modificatiori to the approved landscape plan, Specifically, the applicant is proposing to
delete an 18-inch tallstone-faced planter, whicfr was to be c{nstructed immediately
south of the addition's entran6g door. The planting area in this planter was to be
approximately 8 square feet. The applicant proposes instead to place 2 to 3 potted
plants in this area.
As a part ol the redevelopment project, the applicant removed an existing Norway
Mapld from their property and installed the approved Town of Vail Streetscape Master
Plan paving on a portion of the property which they own adjacent to the building' In
addition to installing the pavers, the applicants constructed an 18-inch tall, stone{aced
planter in the area between the addition and the Ore House's exterior deck wall. The
net planting area in this planter is 39 square feet. A flowering crabapple and low
growing junipers have been installed ln his planter.

July 13, 1992:A request to modify the landscape San was heard by the PEC to
replace the planter in question with potted planb. The general
@nsensus of the PEC was that the orbinal poposal should be
imflemented and lhe planter bulh as designed. The applicant
requested to table this item until August so that a suitarble
solution could be reached, and the request to table was granted
by the PEC.
At this meeting, the applicant proposed to add potted plants to
the area in question instead ol building the planter. The PEG
was in agraemenl that the applicant needed to comply with the
original landscape plan that had been approved, but would allow
for a modification to be made to he proposed planter so that the
neu, window that is slightly above grde wouH not have to be
moved. ln constructing the addition, the applicant has installed a
window which extends nearly to the ground on the notth
elevation of the bay window addition. lt was suggested by the
PEC fiat the bottom of the ptanter could be excavated deeper
and a tree planted wifrout any exterior modifications being made
to the building. Also, the PEG agreed that the planler could be
altered from the originally approved l8-inch tallstone-faced
planter to a lower height (6-12 indtes) and that stucco could be
used instead of the stone.
August 24,19€.22
September 28, 1992 The applicant now wishes the PEC to reconsider allowing for the
pots to remain in place of the planter. Therefore, the request
belng heard today ls to modlfy the landseape plan
assoclated wlth the prevlously approved exterlor alteratlon
for the Slller Bulldlng to allow for the two potted plants to be
substltuted for the planter.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The staff is recommending denlal ol this request. Although we do believe hat the
applicant's addition to the Sliler BuiEing is a very positive improvement which benefits
the Village, the staff feels tl'rat the installation of the originally approved planbr is the
prefened design solution. The staff also feels that the modifications to the planter
suggested by fre PEC at the August 24th meeting would be an acceptable solution
and would not appear to require any modiftcations to be made to the window. These
suggestions included:
1. excavating deeper fian originally Intended to plant the evergreen, yet not
interfere nith the window that has been installed close to grade;
2. reducing the planter wall height from 18 inches to 6-12 inches above grade;
3. to allow stucco to be used (matching existing) instead of stone on th€ face of.

Applicant: Rod and Beth Slifer
Planner: Jill Kammerer
Jill Kammerer explained the request. Kristan Pritz clarified that the newspaper boxes
referenced in staff's memorandum were to be faced with wood.
Jill srated staff recommended approval of the rcquests.
Ned Gwathmey, the applicants' architect, asked for clarification on the building height. The
planning staff and the applicant were in concurrence on the building height. He also asked
why the applicants should be made to pay $1,200 to the Streetscape Fund for newspaper
boxes. He believed that, since the newspapers received the benefit, they should pay for their
own boxes.
Rod Slifer explained he had been required to pay almost $20,000 into the parking fund, had
needed to provide a title report, a model of the proposed renovation, along with other
requirements, and the costs of those items had added up. He objected to paying $1,200 for
newspaper stands to be located on his property. He stated he had never approved the
placement of the existing newspaper boxes on his properry in the first place. He did not want
the stands there, and believed it was onerous to require him to pay for something which
reduced his property rights.
Kristan responded that the Town was rying to work with the newspapers to have them
enclose the stands in wood, in conformance with the Town qf Vail Streetscape Master Plan,
but indicated the newspaper companies had indicated a reluctance to do this. She stated the
current boxes negatively impacted the streetscape, and were therefore an important part of the
improvements. Jill added the Sreetscape Master Plan set fonh that implementation of the
specific improvements would occur through a public/private partnership.
Ned reiterated that the newspapers were the beneficiaries of the enclosures, and they should
pay for the enclosures. Kristan mentioned there were freedom of speech issues surrounding
the Town's ability to require the newspapers to move and improve the appearance of the
newspaper boxes. However, the Town was still pursuing the option of the newspaper
companies also parricipating in the upgrading of the newspaper boxes. Rod again stated his
property rights were limited because of the placement of the boxes. He also suggested that,
because the entire area benefitted from having the boxes improved, everyone should pay
)
Planning and Environmental Commission . February 24,1992. Page 4
a
equally. He did not find it appropriate that he should pay simply because he chose to
upgrade his property.
Greg Amsden inquired as to whether the Town staff designated how the funds placed into the
Streetscape Fund were to be used. Kristan replied they did. Greg indicated his preference to
designate the funds the applicant would contribute be spent in another manner other than on
newspaper dispenser boxes.
Mike Mollica indicated it was not imperative to have the boxes in this location. Kristan
added the Town would prefer to see the boxes relocated from this area. The Sueetscape
Master Plan called out centralized box locations in the Village, one of which is proposed in
this area.
Ned asked that the reference in the memo be changed in the requirement for landscaping from
a Norway Maple to a specimen tree. Jill agreed to that change. Diana Donovan clarified it
was to be a deciduous specimen (large) tree placed in the planter, not an evergreen. The
applicant and staff agreed. Jill said the applicant had indicated he would work with Sherry
Dorward when the project was reviewed by the DRB to finalize the plant material to be
installed. Ned indicated the applicant would be responsible for maintenance of the plant
material in the planters, including the plant material in that portion of the planter located on
Town of Vail property.
Gena Whinen agreed with Mr. Slifer on the newspaper boxes, and believed the newspapers
should pay for the boxes, as she believed it was a cost of their doing business.
Greg Amsden asked that the requested contribution to the Streetscape Fund be used to fund a
different streetscape improvement.
Kathy Langenwalter asked if the applicants could move the existing ree to a new location,
Rod indicated it was his intent to do this, and he was working with the Town Landscape
Architect, Todd Oppenheimer, to identify a location to ffansplant the tree. Kathy agreed rvith
applicants on the newspaper boxes, and indicated she was concerned about granting a
variance and having a dollar requirement associated with approval. She did not like the
appearance of "buying" a variance. She believed it was, however, more appropriate to require
additional money amounts for improvements in conjunction with an exterior alteradon.
Kristan clarified that the donation to fte Streetscape Fund was part of the exterior alteration
requsst, and was not associated with the requested variance.
Dalton Williams said he did not realize "private-public partnership" meant private parties
subsidized newspapers through contributions of use of land. He also believed the requested
Streetscape contribution should not be used for the newspaper boxes, as that money should
come from the newspaper companies. Dalton also agreed with Kathy about equating
variances with money.
Chuck Crist liked the proposed addition, and believed it would be a pleasant addition to
Bridge Street. He supported changing the newspaper boxes to wood, but was confused by the
term "contribution," as the amount appeared to be a tax.

'o
Kathy indicated she believed there were streetscape improvements which the applicant could
provide on his properry. In other requests, there had not been on-site improvements
applicants could make, and in those instances, it was appropriate to ask for the contribution.
She believed this applicant was improving the sree$cape on his property, and did not see a
need for an additional monetary contribution.
Diana Donovan could approve a $1,200 contribution to the general Sreetscape Fund, but not
to be specifically used to enclose the newspaper boxes in wood. Diana did not believe the
new landscaping proposed compensated for the loss of a mature nee. She was concerned the
Town was losing the softness of its streetscape as more and more buildings were built up to
the property line. Regarding the newspaper dispensers, she thought the Town was unable to
require the dispensers to be changed by the newspaper companies. She could support a
donation of $1,200 to the Streetscape Fund in general, as there were some impacts of the
project on the sueetscape, in the form of additional shade and increase in building size.
However, she did believe the renovation was attractive.
After clarifying that the l8-inch high planters proposed to be consfucted by the applicant
were seating height, she concluded by stating the $1,200 donation, in her mind, was essential.
Chuck asked what else the Streetscape Fund was used for. Kristan said it was also used for
benches, lighting, etc., but staff had specified the newspaper boxes in this instance because
they were a high priority item for the Town, and were currently located on the applicant's
property. Diana believed there would be a direct benefit to the owner to provide the funds
for the boxes, as the public would benefit-
Dalton already saw public-private cooperation in the applicants' proposal, and believed the
Town was asking for too much. Kristan reminded the Commissioners that other, more
modest proposals, had made contributions to the Town for sfieetscape improvements in the
past. Rod Slifer asked for consistency, and suggested a standard fee per square foot of
expansion.
Gena believed the additional shade was something to be concerned with. Although it was
minor in this request, and this was a positive addition, Bridge Street was becoming
increasingly shaded from the sun.
Jill Kammerer explained the formula used to determine the requested amount to be
contributed to the Sneetscape Fund. After her explanation, Johannes Faessler, owner of the
Sonnenalp Hotel, stated the formula could be prohibitive for a large remodel, and believed
this was a tax with another name. He extrapolated that it was costing approximately $6 per
square foot addition to contribute to the Streetscape Fund.
After funher discussion of the formula used and staff's position, Chuck Crist moved to
approve the request for a site coverage variance in Commercial Core I for the Slifer BuiJding,
230 Bridge Street/Part of Lots B and C, Lot 5, Vail Village First Filing, per staff's
memorandum. Kathy Langenwalter seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously, 6-0.

Chuck Crist moved to approve the request for an exterior alteration in Commercial Core I for
the Slifer Building, 230 Bridge Street/Part of Lots B and C, Lot 5, Vail Village First Filing,
per staff's memorandum, with the following elements in the proposall
1. Approval of site coverage variance by the PEC.
2. Payment of parking fee in the amount of $19,672.00 prior to Town issuance of a
building permit per the Town's amortization program.
Dalton Williams seconded the motion. The exterior alteration was approved, 4-2, with Diana
Donovan and Greg Amsden dissenting. Diana disagreed with the exclusion of condition 3,
regarding the $1,200 contribution from rhe motion.
After the vote, Ned Gwathmey stated the applicants would voluntarily make the connibution
to the Streetscape Fund on the condition it not be associated with the newspaper boxes (i.e.,
to be used for paving), and would continue to work on it. Diana Donovan accepted the offer.

Applicant Johannes Faessler
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
Andy Knudtsen explained the revisions, as illustrated on rhe plans, and shown in the staff
memorandum. Staff believed the change to the fue access to be a positive benefit. Kristan
Pritz explained the plans were brought back to confirm the staff's position with rhe PEC.
Staff saw the movement of the Meadow Drive access gate as beneficial.
Diana Donovan asked what size the trees in the planter were proposed to be. Andy said the
proposal called for 6-8' rees. Diana requested that, if the entrance to the Swiss Chalet were
not addressed in "x" number of years, that the applicant be required to improve the area.
Johannes Faessler, the owner of the Sonnenalp Hotel, stated that a specific year would not be
the right approach, as it was his goal to work with the Town when it made streetscape
improvements to the area. staff was not requiring that the plaza be brought back in "x"
years. Staff believed the gate work was in place of the plaza consrrucrion.
Kristan said this was brought so staff could ensure their interpretation of the conditions was
appropriate, and if the Commissioners did not have concerns, no action was necessary.

MEMORANDUM
Planning and Environmental Commission
Community Development Department
July 13, 1992
A request to modify the landscaping plan associated with he previously
approved exterior alteration proposal for the Slifer Building' 230 Bridge
StreeVPart of Lots B and C, Lot 5, Vail Mllage First Filing.
Applicant: Rod and Beth Slifer
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
On February 24,1992, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved an exterior alteration
and a site coverage variance request for the Slifer Building. Construction on this project is now
substantially completed. At this time, the applicant is requesting th-s PEC approve a modiftcation to
the approved landscaping plan. Specifically, the applicant proposes to delete a portion of the brick
paverg, which wrap around a planter to connect it to a drain inlet, and to delete an l8-inch tiall stone-
faced planter, which was proposed to be constructed immediately south of the addition's enlrance
door. The planting area in this planter was to be I square feet.
As a part of the redevelopment proposal, he applicants removed an existing Nonray Maple lrom their
propefi and installed the approved Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan paving on a portion of the
property which they own adjacent to the building. ln addition to installing tfie pavers, the applicants
constructed an 18-inch tall, stone-faced planter in he area between the addition and fie Ore House's
exterior dining deck wall. The net planting area in this planter is 39 square feet. A flowering
crabapple and low growing junipers have has been installed in this Planter.
In constructing the addition, the applicants have installed a window which extends almost to lhe
ground on the north elevation of the bay window addition." lf the PEC requkes the applicanl to
conform with the originally approved plan, his window will need to be removed and the area where
the window was located will need to be infilled belore construction of the planter could occur.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
We believe the applicant has constructed a very positive addition which benefits the Village.
However, staff still believes tre installation of the previously approved 18-inch tall, stone-faced planter
in this area is the preferred design solution. However, if he Planning and Environmental Gommission
approves the landscape plan modification per the applicant's request, staff would recommend the
following condition of approval:
1. The applicant shall provide a minimum of two flower pots during the summer in conjunction
with this approval. The pots in which the planb will be located shall be a minimum of 2 to 3
foot in diameter/square and approximately 3 feet in height. (The applicant has already
complied with this comment. Staff would like to insure that he planters are placed outside the

Re: Slifer Tree
Dear Jill- and Mike:
The slifers called and want to substi.tute a specimen crabappletree in lieu of the aspen-cluster that was discussed andpresumably approved by DRB. The orlginal plan called for aspeclmen deciduous tree, so we are going back to the originalproposal
They have been informed that the crabapple wilr not grow as fastas the aspens and they w111 not, therefore, be forced to pruneto keep light and sun into their new windows. rn addition, thecrabapple Lree is not as messy as the aspen.
I understand the Staff will_ considerthey/you will catl if you need moreproblem with this.

Planning and Environhental Commission . February 24,1992. Page 1
t FilinApplicant: Charles RosenquistPlanner: Shellv Mello
Shelly Mello explained the request. Staff recommended approval of the requesr wirh the
following elements included in the proposal:
l. The applicant agrees to contribute $600 to the Streetscape Fund to provide two
newspaper dispensers on the Gore Creek Promenade prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
2. That the required parking fee be paid to rhe Town of vail parking Fund prior to
issuance of a building permit.3' The applicant agrees to contribute their fair share of the expenses to correct rhe
drainage problems on the east side of the Gore Creek Plaza Building. The total
expense for this project is estimated at $4186. The applicant's portion is determined
by his percentage ownership in the building. A development agrcement, along with a
cash escrow or letter of credit, must be approved by the Town prior to the Town's
issuance of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, should the d.rainage work not be
completed prior to this time.
Erich Hill represented the applicants. He asked that the condition of approval which referred
to placing $600 into the Streetscape Fund be changed, as the owners preferred to add
landscaping around the site. He said a specific landscape plan would be submitted at the
finat DRB approval for the project. The general areas where he wanted to add landscaping
were at the stair and two other locations. Diana Donovan asked if the owners would be
responsible for the maintenance for the landscaping. Erich agreed ro rhat request.
Diana requested that the detailing of the decks of the building to be addressed.
Chuck Crist asked how much the project was estimated ro cost. Erich indicated the bar
addition would be between $8-12,000, and the office was approximately $7-9,000. In
addition to those figures, there would be an interior renovation. Chuck explained his question
was asked in order to determine the percentage of the cost the Town was asking for in
additional improvements. He said the Town had requested approximately 15-2OVo of the cost
of the project. Shelly explained the rationale, sndng the amount was linked to the additional
square footage being requested, not the cost of the project, and that the parking fee was
automatically required by CCI zoning. Chuck responded he wanted to be aware of the cost of
municipally-required improvements.
Kathy Langenwalter addressed the new window and door, and stated she wanted them to look
like they belonged together. In addition, she pointed out that the planter on the south side of
the project needed to be addressed, and that care be taken on what was placed there, as it was
an over-exposed site and very hot.
Diana Donovan summarized the Commission's changes to the proposal as follows: #1 from
the staff memorandum would be changed to additional landscaping, to be approved by the
Plarning and Environmental Commission . February 24, 1992 . page 2
Design Review Board at final approval. #4 would be added to state the upper deck trims
would be researched, and made to conform with previously-approved DRB colors.
Kathy Langenwalter moved to approve the request for an exterior alteration at BIu's
Restaurant, Gore Cleek Plaza Building, 193 Gore Creek Drive/Part of Block 58, Vail Village
First Filing, per staff's memorandum, with the change that additional landscaping would be
placed on the south side and additional landscaping on the nonh side of the project in place
of the contribution to the Streetscap Fund. Chuck Crist seconded the motion. It was
unanimously approved, 6-0.
After the vote, it was requested that staff make sure the rim band on the building and railings
were what was prcviously approved, and ensure the addition matched.
3. A request for wall height and road grade variances for the Spraddle Creek Subdivision.

Applicant: Georee N. Gillett. Jr.
Planner: Mike Mollica
Mike Mollica explained this was a request for a re-approval of previously granted variances,
but was basically a time extension of those variances. The original variances had lapsed;
hence ttre request for the new variances. Mike informed the Commissioners that variances
granted after January l, 1992 were now valid for a period of 2 years. Staff was requesting an
additional condition above those conditions required at the first approval. That condition was
that the variance would expire in conjunction with the final plat expiration, which will occur
on February 11, 1994. Otherthan that change, the recommendation was to approve the
requested variances.
Planning and Environmental Commission . Fcbruary 24, 1992. Page 3
Kathy Langenwalter moved that the request for wall height and road grade variances for the
Spraddle Creek Subdivision, an approximately 40 acre parcel located nonh and east of the
Main Vail[-7O interchange and east of the Spraddle Creek Livery, more specifically described
above, be approved per staff memo, and further moved the variances expire February 11,
1994, if consEuction was not commenced before that date, and diligently pursued to
completion. Greg Amsden seconded the motion. It was passed by a vote of 5-0-1, with
Chuck Crist abstaining, due to a potential conflict of interest.
4. A reouest for an exterior altcration and a site coverage variance in Commercial Core I
for the Slifer Buildine. 230 Bridee Street/Part of Lots B and C. Lot 5, Vail Villaee
First Filin&
Applicant: Rod and Beth Slifer
Planner: JilI Kammerer
Jill Kammerer explained the rcquest. Kristan Pritz clarified that the newspaper boxes
referenced in staffls memorandum were to be faced with wood.
Jill srated staff recommended approval of the requests.
Ned Gwathmey, the applicants' architect, asked for clarification on the building height. The
planning staff and the applicant were in concurrence on the building height. He also asked
why the applicants should be made to pay $1,200 to the Streetscape Fund for newspaper
boxes. He believed that, since the newspapers received the benefit, they should pay for their
own boxes.
Rod Slifer explained he had been required to pay almost $20,000 into the parking fund, had
needed to provide a title repon, a model of the proposed renovation, along with other
requirements, and the costs of those items had added up. He objected to paying $1,200 for
newspaper stands to be located on his property. He stated he had never approved the
placement of the existing newspaper boxes on his property in the first place. He did not want
the stands there, and believed it was onerous to require him to pay for something which
reduced his property rights.
Kdstan responded that the Town was trying to work with the newspapers to have them
enclose the stands in wood, in conformance with the Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan,
but indicated the newspaper companies had indicated a reluctance to do this. She stated the
current boxes negatively impacted the streetscape, and were therefore an important part of the
improvements. Jill added the Streetscape Master Plan set forth that implementation of the
specific improvements would occur through a public/private partnership.
Ned reiterated that the newspapers were the beneficiaries of the enclosures, and they should
pay for the enclosures. Kristan mentioned there were freedom of speech issues surrounding
the Town's ability to require the newspapers to move and improve the appearance of the
newspaper boxes. However, the Town was still pursuing the option of the newspaper
companies also participating in the upgrading of the newspaper boxes. Rod again stated his
property rights were limited because of the placement of the boxes. He also suggested that,
because the entire area benefitted from having the boxes improved, everyone should pay
Planning and Environmental Commission . February 24,1992. Page 4
equally. He did not find it appropriate that he should pay simply because he chose to
upgrade his property.
Greg Amsden inquired as to whether the Town staff designated how the funds placed into the
Streetscape Fund were to be used. Kristan replied they did. Greg indicated his preference to
designate the funds the applicant would contribute be spent in another manner other than on
newspaper dispenser boxes.
Mike Mollica indicated it was not imperative to have the boxes in this location. Kristan
added the Town would prefer to see the boxes relocated from this area. The Sreetscape
Master Plan called out centralized box locations in the Village, one of which is proposed in
this area.
Ned asked that the reference in the memo be changed in the requirement for landscaping from
a Norway Maple to a specimen tree. JiU agreed to that change. Diana Donovan clarified it
was to be a deciduous specimen (large) tree placed in the planter, not an evergleen. The
applicant and staff agreed. Jill said the applicant had indicated he would work with Sherry
Dorward when the project was reviewed by the DRB to finalize the plant material to be
installed. Ned indicated the applicant would be responsible for maintenance of the plant
material in the planten, including the plant material in that portion of the planter located on
Town of Vail property.
Gena Whitten agreed with Mr. Slifer on the newspaper boxes, and believed the newspapers
should pay for the boxes, as she believed it was a cost of their doing business.
Greg Amsden asked that the requested contribution to the Streetscape Fund be used to fund a
different sEeetscape improvement.
Kathy Langenwalter asked if the applicants could move the existing tree to a new location.
Rod indicated it was his intent to do this, and he was working wirh the Town Landscape
Architect, Todd Oppenheimer, to identify a location to transplant the tree. Kathy agree{ with
applicants on the newspaper boxes, and indicated she was concerned about granting a
variance and having a dollar requirement associated with approval. She did not like the
appearance of "buying" a variance. She believed it was, however, more appropriate to require
additional money amounts for improvements in conjunction with an exterior alteration.
Kristan clarified that the donation to the Streetscape Fund was part of the exterior alteration
request, and was not associated with the requested variance.
Dalton Williams said he did not realize "private-public partnership" meanr private parties
subsidized newspapen through contibutions of use of land. He also believed the requested
Streetscape contribution should not be used for the newspaper boxes, as that money should
come from the newspaper companies. Dalton also agreed with Kathy abour equating
variances with mone y.
Chuck Crist liked the proposed addition, and believed it would be a pleasant addition to
Bridge Street. He supported changing the newspaper boxes to wood, but was confused by the
term "contribution," as the amount appeared to be a tax.
Planning and Environmental Commission . February 24,1992. Page 5
Kathy indicated she believed there were streetscape improvements which the applicant could
provide on his property. In other requests, there had not been on-site improvements
applicants could make, and in those instances, it was appropriate to ask for the contribution.
She believed this applicant was improving the streetscape on his property, and did not see a
need for an additional monetary contribution.
Diana Donovan could approve a $1,200 contribution to the general Sreetscape Fund, but not
to be specifically used to enclose the newspaper boxes in wood. Diana did not believe the
new landscaping proposed compensated for the loss of a mature nee. She was concerned the
Town was losing the softness of its streetscape as more and more buildings were built up to
the property line. Regarding the newspaper dispensers, she thought the Town was unable to
require the dispensers to be changed by the newspaper companies. She could support a
donation of $1,200 to the Streetscape Fund in general, as there were some impacts of the
project on the streetscape, in the form of additionat shade and increase in building size.
However, she did believe the renovation was attractive.
After clarifying that the 18-inch high planten proposed to be constructed by the applicant
were seating height, she concluded by stating the $1,200 donarion, in her mind, was essential.
Chuck asked what else the Streetscape Fund was used for. Kristan said it was also used for
benches, lighting, etc., but staff had specified the newspaper boxes in this instance because
they were a high priority item for the Town, and were currently located on the applicant's
property. Diana believed there would be a direcr benefit to the owner to provide the funds
for the boxes, as the public would benefit.
Dalton already saw public-private cooperation in the applicants'proposal, and believed the
Town was asking for too much. Kristan reminded the Commissioners that other, more
modest proposals, had made contributions to the Town for sffeetscape improvements in the
past. Rd Slifer asked for consistency, and suggested a standard fee per square foot of
expansion.
Gena bilieved the additional shade was something to be concerned with. Although it was
minor in this request, and this was a positive addition, Bridge Street was becoming
increasingly shaded from the sun.
Jill Kammerer explained the formula used to determine the requested amount to be
contributed to the Streetscape Fund. After her explanation, Johannes Faessler, owner of the
Sonnenalp Hotel, stated the formula could be prohibitive for a large remodel, and believed
this was a tax with another name. He extrapolated that it was costing approximately $6 per
square foot addition to contribute to the Streetscape Fund.
After further discussion of the formula used and staffs position, Chuck Crist moved to
approve the request for a site coverage variance in Commercial Core I for the Slifer Building,
230 Bridge Str,eet/Part of l,ots B and C, Lot 5, Vail Village First Filing, per staff's
memorandum. Kathy Langenwalter seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously, 6-0.
Planning and Environmental Commission . February 24,1992. Pagc 6
Chuck Crist moved to approve the request for an exterior alteration in Commercial Core I for
the Slifer Building, 230 Bridge Stneey'Pan of Lots B and C, l,ot 5, Vail Village First Filing,
psr staff's memorandum, with the following elements in the proposal:
l. Approval of site coverage variance by the PEC.
2. Payment of parking fee in the amount of $19,672.00 prior to Town issuance of a
building permit per the Town's amortization program.
Dalton Williams seconded the motion. The exterior alteration was approved, 4-2, with Diana
Donovan and Greg Amsden dissenting. Diana disagreed with the exclusion of condition 3,
regarding the $1,200 contribution from the motion.
After the vote, Ned Gwathmey stated the applicants would voluntarily make the contribution
to the Streetscape Fund on the condition it not be associated with the newspaper boxes (i.e.,
to be used for paving), and would continue to work on it. Diana Donovan accepted the offer.
5. Discussion reqardins staff decision concerning the conditions of approval for the
previously approved parking. common area and height variances for the Sonnenalp
Hotel. 20 Vail Roadfl.ots I and K, Vail Villaee First Filine.
Applicant Johannes Faessler
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
Andy Knudtsen explained the revisions, as illustrated on the plans, and shown in the staff
memorandum. Staff believed the change to the fire access to be a positive benefit. Kristan
Pritz explained the plans were brought back to confirm the staffs position with the PEC.
Staff saw the movement of the Meadow Drive access sate as beneficial.
Diana Donovan asked what size the trees in the planter were proposed to be. Andy said the
proposal called for 6-8' trees. Diana requested that, if the entrance to the Swiss Chalet were
not addressed in "x" number of years, that the applicant be required to improve the area.
Johannes Faessler, the owner of the Sonnenalp Hotel, stated that a specific year would not be
the right approach, as it was his goal to work with the Town when it made streetscape
improvements to the area. Staff was not requiring that the plaza be brought back in "x"
years. Staff believed the gate work was in place of the plaza construction.
Kristan said this was brought so staff could ensure their interpretation of the conditions was
appropriate, and if the Commissioners did not have concerns, no action was necessary.

6. A request for a conditional use permit to renew and anend a conditional use permit
for Lionshead Miniature Golf Course. on parcels generallv located west of Chair 8
(Bom hee Express): more specificallv located on Tracts C and D. Vail Lionshead
First Filine.
Applicants: Vail Associates/Charlie AlexanderPlanner: Shellv Mello
Shelly Mello briefly described the request. Staff recommended approval of the request, as
outlined in their memorandum.
The applicant, Charlie Alexander, explained how similar projects worked when the facilities
were not removed in the winter. When Vail Associates turns the project over for use in the
sprin$, the setting up process for the course immediately begins, weather permitting. On
October 15, Vail Associates resumes control over the property, and sets up for their winter lift
operations. There would be no "down" time.
Shelly indicated the course would operate from May 1 through the fall, 9:0OAM-dusk.
Kathy Langenwalter asked if there had been neighborhood complaints during its operation the
previous summer. Shelly answered none had been received by the Community Development
. Department during the first year of operation.
Gena Whitten found the course to be verv nice. attractive. and did not senemte excessive
noise.
Diana Donovan asked if a permanent building was being requested. Charlie said not at this
time, because of the application requirements and deadlines for a major exterior alteration.
Diana inquired if approving a temporary structure would affect the conditional use permit if a
pernanent structure were approved at a later date. Shelly answered there would be no
problem with that, and it would not rule out the perrnanent building. She also stated that with
the current proposal, the temporary building must be removed prior to ski season.
Diana also questioned if the lease with Vail Associates addressed the potential Sunbird Lodge
renovation. Charlie replied it did, but illustrated how the course location would not be
impacted, due to the fact the maze for Chair 8 would remain in its current location. Charlie
did indicate, however, that he needed a 4 year conditional use permit, as his financing had a 4
year payout period, and changing that to 3 years would negatively impact his potential. It
would be difficult for him to meet a 3 year payment schedule. Diana asked if the
Commission could call up the permit if there were a problem. Shelly indicated they could, if
there was a violation of the permit.
Mike Mollica indicated the permit could be approved for 4 years, and if the Sunbird Lodge
came in for their renovation in that time period, the permit for the course could be re-
addressed.

SUBJECT: A request for a site coverage variance and an exterior alteration for the Slifer
Building, located within the Commercial Core I zone disgict, 230 Bridge
Street, Lot B and a palt of Lot C, Block 5, Vail Village First Filing
Applicanu Beth and Rod SliferPlanner: Jill Kammerer
I.DESCRIPTION OF TTIE SITE COVERAGE VARIANCE AND THE EXTEzuOR
ALTERATION REOTIESTS \
to add 57 sq, ft. of site couerag'g to the Slifer Building in order to
tional first floor@isplayar6ifor the Slifer Collection retail
new second floor office space above the existing Slifer Collection
x. 11'-6" wide x 28' tall addition would be located on the front
(west) facade of the existing Slifer Collection retail space enrance (see attached plans).
The applicant also proposes to jg$!-l anareagenerally in the sam_e'l,qgggqn as the existing
entrance to the Slifer Collection retail space which is currently covered by building above.
Because the area to be infilled is located under a cantilevered area, this new 27 sq. ft. entry
vestibule is already included in the site coverage calculations and therefore will not increase
site coverage.
The Slifer Building is located in Commercial Core I. The maximum site coverage allowed in
this zone district is 807# The existing building's site coverage is 92.17o. under this
proposal, site coverage would increase to 93.9Vo. Therefore. in order to allow the
construction of the additional site coverage of 57 sq. ft.. the applicant is requesting an
increase in site coveraee of 1.87o.
In addition to this request for a site coverage variance, the applicant is also required to obtain
ar exterior alteration approval prior to the issuance of any building permit.

own. In addition to installing pavers, the applicants will construct 2 stone faced planters with
a total net planting arca of 47 sq. ft. Although the Streetscape Master PIan shows 4
newspaper boxes located on Town land adjacent to the Ore House Restaurant deck, the text
recommends newspaper dispenses boxes in the Village be consolidated in a few centralized
locations.
IL BACKGROIJND
On November 13, 1989, the Planning and Environrnental Commission (PEC) reviewed and
approved a site coverage variance and an exterior alteration request for the Slifer Building for
a 93 sq. ft. addition at this same general location. The proposed addition was subsequently
approved by the Design Review Board (DRB) on November 29, 1989.
The PEC approved site coverage variance expired on November 13, 1990, and the DRB
approval expired on November 29, 1990.
In January of 1991, the Town's definition of site coverage was changed. Under the new
definition, cantilevered areas and covered walkways count as site coverage. For this reason,
the existing site coverage numben in this memo will not correspond with the 1989 memo.
Under the 1989 site coverage and exterior alteration approval, the existing site coverage was
calculated at897o and the proposed and approved site coverage was92Vo.
In August of 1991, the PEC denied Super Stars Studio's request for a site coverage variance
for the consulction of two bay windows at the Gorsuch Building, located in the Commercial
Core I zone district, based on the findings the property is not encumbered with a physical
hardship or unique circumstances and the project docs not me€t the findings for a site
covemge variance.

*A portion of the area to be infilled under this redevelopment proposal
will not contribute additional site coverage because the space to be
ffilled is alleady covered by the second floor of the building.
The applicant will be required to contribute $19,672.00 to the Town of
Vail parking fund. The proposed addition will require 2.459 parking
spaces.
The parking fee for office space is also $8,000.00 per parking space.
The formula for parking spaces associated with office use is as follows:
548 sq. ft.l250 = 2.192 x $8,000 = $17,536.00.
The parking fee for 1 commercial parking space is $8,000.00. (80 sq.
ft./300 =.267 x $8,000 = $2,136.00)
Total parking fee = $2,136.00 + $17,536.00 = $L9€?.@

IV. EXTERIOR ALTERATION REOUEST COMPLIANCE WITII THE PURPOSE
SECTION OF COMMERCIAL CORE I
18.24.010 Purpose:
"Thc Commercial Core I District is intended to provide sites and to maintain the
unique character of the Vail Village Commercial Area, with its mixture of lodges and
commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The
Commercial Core I Disaict is intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and
other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of buildings and uses. The district
regulations in accordance with the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design
Considerations prescribe site development standards that are intended to ensure the
maintenance and preservation of the tightly clustered arrangements of buitdings
fronting on pedestian ways and public greenways, and to ensurc continuation of the
building scale and architectural qualities that distinguish the Village."
\Az'
/t Staff believes this proposal is in conformance with the intent of the purpose section of the
Commercial Core I zone district as stated above.
V. REVIEW CRITEzuA FOR TI{E EXTERIOR ALTERATION REOIJEST
The Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan includes three elements that establish lhe revipur
criteria for thiJapplication. The fust of these is r"fe ,
a number of sub-area concepts, many of which identify potential arcas formre development
and other improvements. Secondly, the Urba4 express the large scale,
land use planning and design considerations, and finally argllectur4landSca
which will be reviewed by the Design Review Board, establish the criteria for evaluating
detailed design considerarions of a proposal.
The Vail Village Master Plan and Town of Vail Streetscape Maser Plan also address specifics@menrol m.€ti6"-
must be considered in this application.
In addition to these master plans, zoning considerations are also a factor in reviewing this
proposal.

VII. EXTERIOR ALTERATION REOI]EST COMPLIANCE WTTH TI{E URBAN
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR VAIL VILLAGE
The following design considerations are a critical element of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
They identify the key physical characteristics of the Village and provide the tools to assure
that new development is consistent with this estabtshed character. These considerations
include the following:
A- Pedesnianization:
This exterior alteration will have no impact upon pedesuian circulation within the Vail
Village area. The addition*E{l gh the
increise in window areaffiiriti inio rhe store,
installation of the recommended Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan improvements,
facade articulation and landscape improvements.
B. Vehicular Penetration:
Vehicular penetration and circulation will remain unchanged as a result of this
proposal.
C. Streetscape Framework:
Streetscape framework identihes two alternatives for improving the pedestrian
experience in the Village. These include the development of open space, including
landscaping along pedestrian routes and the development of infill commercial
storefronts along pedestrian corridors. While landscaping can provide a softening of
buildings and a colorful framework, commercial infill can provide activity generators
and visual interest for the pedestrian. The staff believes this propqg4[_gi
positively to the overall pedestrian experienCE Ts previo[S mentioned, under the--' sparency of the shop frontage, the
proposed planters and paver design visual
interest to the area. Further, the proposed streetscape improvements conform to the
recommended strreetscape improvements set forth in the Town of Vail Streetscape
Master Plan.
D. Street Enclosure:
The purpose of this consideration is to maintain a comfortable relationship between the
width of stre€ts and the height of buildings. The proposed addition is not designed to
step back. However, the street width measures2T fent from the bottom of the Slifer
Building steps to the bonom of the Covered Bridge Building steps which is the widest
portion of Bridge Street. For this reason, staff believes a comfortable relationship
between the width of the street and the height of the building will be maintained under
this design.
E. Street Edee:
This criteria cncourages buildings in the Village Core to form a srong but irregular
edge to the streer Under this exterior alteration proposal, the Slifer Collection retail
space will pmject out from the building an additional5'-0". Th_glqpsedjddtiell
@ its glass-walled facade and inegular building line. The
$ftall plaza area and cxtensive
of the pedestrian envircnmenL Staff believes that this modification will have no
transparcncy
negative impact on the street edge.
,F. Buildine Heieht:
The proposed addition will have a maximum height of 28 feet. The maximum height
of the existing building is 28 feet. The maximum allowable height for a sloped roof
in CCI is regulated by the Vail Village Urban Design Cuide Plan and Design
Considerations. Building height restrictions in Commercial Core I shall be as follows:
1. Up to 6AVo of the building Ouilding coverage area) may be built to a
height of 33 feet or less.
2, No more than 4O7o of the building (building coverage area) may be
built higher than 33 feet, but not higher than 43 feet.
The existing roof height in the area of the addition is 22'-6". Therefore, the proposed
addition will exceed the existing roof height by 5'-6". The height of the building is in
conformance with CCI zoning requirements. Steeply pi@
n is 1212, in keeping with the Design
Considerations.

J. Architecture/LandscapeConsiderations:
The staff believes the architectural detailing and increased transparency resulting from
the redevelo,pment of this rctail space and the landscaping and streetscape
improvements will have positive impacts on the appearance of this area by adding
visual interest to the space.
The applicant has indicated one 5"-6" caliper Norway Maple will be removed under

Currently, 7 newspaper dispenser boxes are located along the southem edge of the
applicant's property, in part on the applicant's property and in part on Town-owned
property. The applicant will require these boxes be removed from their property under
this redevelopment proposal. Although the Streetscape Master Plan shows 4
newspaper boxes located on Town-owned land adjacent to the Ore House Restaurant
deck, the text recommends newspaper dispenser boxes in the Village be consolidated
in a few centralized locations. Staff believes the construction of a planter in the area
where the newspaper dispenser boxes are currently located is appropriate.
Staff recommends the applicant contribute $1,200 for the purchase of 4 Sreetscape
Master Plan approved newspaper dispenser boxes.
VM. RELATED GOALS AND POLICIES OF TI{E VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN
Goal #2 - To foster a stong tourist indusny and promote year-around economic
health and viability for the village and for the community as a whole.
2.4 Objective:
Encourage the development of a variety of new commercial activity where
compatible with existing land uses.
2.4.1 Policy:
Commercial infill development consistent with established horizontal zoning
regulations shall be enconrage to provide acrivity genemtors, accessible grein
spaces, public plazas, and streetscape improvements to the pedestrian network
throughout the Village.
Goal #3 - To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking
experience throughout the Village.
3.1 Objective:
Physically improve the exisring pedesrian ways by landscaping and other
improvements.
3.1.1 Policy:
Private development projects shall incorporate streetscape improvements (such
as paver Eeaulents, landscaping, lighting and seating areas), along adjacent
pedestrian ways.
3.1.3 Policy:
Flowers, trees, water features, and other landscaping shall be encouraged
throughout the Town in locations adjacent to, or visible from, public areas.
The proposed infrll is generally consistent with established zoning and the existing uses of the
area. The addition will provide inter€st and activity to an area which currently experiences
limited activity.
IX. SITE COVERACE VARIANCE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the
Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variance based
on the follorvins factors:
A.Consideration of Factors:
l. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
To the north, south, east and west are restaluant, retail, commercial and office
uses. To the west, across Bridge SreeL is the Covered Bridge Building and
Gasthof Gramshammer which contain a mixture of retail, restaurant and
lodging uses. To the south is the Clock Tower Building which has the Ore
House Restaurant on the fint floor. To the north is the Gallery Building which
has Russell's Restauxant on the first floor. To the east are the Vail Rowhouses.
Staff believes the proposed site coverage variance request, in conjunction with
the proposed exterior alteration, would not negatively impact other potential or
existing uses and structures in the vicinity. In fact, staff believes the variance,
if approved, would create a more enjoyable pedestrian environment which
would add to the visual interest of lower Bridge Street. Also, this requested
variance would not block or impede views from any sunounding properties.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation
and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the
vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of
special privilege.
The section of the Code relating to site coverage in CCI states:
"18.24.150 - Coverage.
Not more than eighty percent of the total site area shall be
covered by building and ground level patios and decks unless
otherwise specified in the Vail Village urban design guide plan
and design considerations. (Ord. 21(1980) $ I (part).)"
The wording of this section of the code is unclear. The October, 1991
Development Code Revision Report, Phase I, proposes the intent of this section
of the code be clarified. The specific language on Page 85 of the Report
pertaining to the clarification of this language and the staff recommendation is
as follows:
''ISSUE
As written, it is unclear whether the Guide Plan is to be used to review
proposals that exceed 807o site coverage, or whether standard variance
criteria are to be used.
ALTERNATTVES
The issue is similar to setbacks in that the intent of the Guide
Plan is that site coverage be determined by the pEC relative to a
project's compliance with urban design standards. As with
setbacks, there will be cases where one site may w rant more
site coverage than another in order to achieve the goals of the
Urban Design Guide plan. For example, the benefits from
improved streetscape enclosure may outweigh the impact of site
coverage over 802o. Language in this section should be
amended similar to the setback section,
RECOMMENDED AMENDMEIT{TS To 18.24.015
Site coverage shall not exceed eighty percent of the total
slte area, provided however, that site coverage in excess
of eighty percent may be approved by the planning and
Environmental Commission based on compliance with the
Vail Village Urban Design Guide plan and Design
Considerations. The determination of allowable site
coverage shall be made in accordance with the extedor
alteration review process ai prescribed in section
18.24.090(4)."
The staff believes that approval of this request would not be a grant of special
privilege. we believe the variance is appropriate because the pioposed add.ition
will bring the slifer Building into greater compliance with the UrLan Design
Guide Plan considerations than the existing strucfure, and no negative impacts
are associated with the proposal. Compliance with the Guide plan
Cglsjderations is an important goal fordevelopment in the Village. In
addition, t}e previously approved proposal which required a site touerug"
variance utilized this review process. For these reasons, we believe a departure
from the general zoning standards is waranted in this situation.
3- The effect ofthe requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, pubtic facitities and
utilities, and public safety.
The applicant proposes to install streetscape elements in conformance with the
adopted Town of vail Streetscape Master plan. The requested variance will
have no impact on any of the above-mentioned criteria.
10
findings before granting a variance:
B.
1.That the granting of the variance will not constitute a glant of special
privilege Inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified
in the same disrict.
That the gfanting of the variance will not be detimental to the public
health, saf"ty ot welfate, or rnaterially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
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 difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title'
b. 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'
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by
the owners of other properties in the same district'
X. STAITF RECOMIvENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the site coverage variance as requested. We feel that the
Vail Village area has unique development considerations and that approval of this variance
would allow the Slifer Building to be brought into greater conformance with the Urban
Design Guide Plan. Staff believes the application is not a gant of special privilege, will not
be denimental to the public health, safety or welfare or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the uicinity and that the site coverage variance is warranted for the
following reasons:
l. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would
result in practical diffrculty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with
the objectives of this title.
2. 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.
11
The staff recommendation is for approval of the requested exterior alteration with the
following conditions:
1. Approval of site covcrage variance by the PEC.
Z. Payment of parking fee in the amount of $19,672.00 prior to Town issuance of
a building permit per the Town's amortization prograrn.
" 3.:' Contribution of $1,200 to the Town of Vail Streetscape account for the
, ^0 purchase and installation of 4 newspaper boxes at a location to be determined\ in Vail Village.
The review of the Urban Design Giteria and the Vail Village Master Plan goals show that the
proposal is in conformance with the applicable sections of these documents.
Staff believes the redevelopment of the Slifer Building facade, which includes allowing the
front of the Slifer Collection retail space facade to be moved forward five feet, will be an
additional activity generator for the Bridge Sreet area and will improve the area's general
appearance.

Re: Slifer Building - Vail Village
Dear Ned.
Per your request f have reviewed your plans for the expansi-on ofthe above building to consider any possible encroachurent into therevised View corridor *1 currently being considered by the Town ofVa11, Your expansion is shown as being no higher than the existingridge line for the Slifer Building that Lies just norLh of theproposed expansion. The revised View Corridor in this area followsthe ridge ]ine of the clock rower Building to the south of theSlifer Building. Your expansion, as $hown on the plans you haveprovided, would not encroach into the proposed View corridor *1.This opinion is not based upon a field survey, but upon existingdrawings and photographs.
Please call if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,

A request for a site coverage variance at the Slifer
Building (230 Bridge Street), Lot B, Block 5, VailVillage First Filing.Applicant: Slifer Designs--Rod and Beth Slifer
DESERIPTTON OF VARTANCE REOUESTED
Slifer Designs is preparing to open an interior designretail store out of the space previously occupied by I'Club
Vailil on Eridge Street. The applicants are requesting to
expand the footprint and nodify the west facade of theSlifer Building to accommodate this new business (see
attached staff menorandum for the exterior alterationrequest). In order to expand the building footprint of theS1ifer Building a site coverage variance is reguired.
The site coveracre numbers are as follows:
Allowable: 2568 sq ft or 80* of the siteExisting: 2860 sq ft or 89?*Proposed. 2953 sq ft or 92?
* The. proposal is for an additional- 93 square feet of site
coverage.
The requested variance is frorn Section 18.24.L50 of the Townof Vail Municipal Code which states:
rrNot more than 80? of the total site area shall becovered by buildings.....l
rI. CRITERIA AND FINDTNGS
Upon review of the Criteria and Findings, Section
18.62.060 of the municipal code, the Department of
Conrnunity Developnent recomrnends approval of therequested variance based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors;:
I. The relationship of the requestedvariance to other existino orpotential uses and structures inthe vicinity.

It is the staffrs opinion that the reguestedvariance, in conjunltion with the pro$osed sitermprovements related to the exterior alteration,would have no adverse effect upon the use of anyadjacent properti.es. In fact, we feeL that thevariance, if approved, would create a noreenjoyable pedestrian environrnent wbich wouLd addto the visual interest of lower Bridge Street.Also, this requested variance would not block orinpede views fron any surrounding properties.
2. TIrp degr?e to which relief frorn the strict andIiteral interpretation and enforcenent of a
The staff believes that approvaL of this requestwould not be a grant of special privilege. Wefeel that the variance is appropriate because theproposed addition will enable the Slifer Buildinqto be rnore in conpliance with the Urban DesignGuide Plan than the existing structure currentfyis. Conpliance r,rith the Guide plan is the mostinportant aspect for developrnent in the ViIJ.age,and it is for that very reason that we feel adeparture from the general zoning standards iswarranted in this situation.

There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances orconditions applicable to the sarne site of the variancethat do not apply generally to other properties in thesane zone.

18.24.010 Purpose:
The Commercial Core I district is intended toprovide sites and to rnaintain the uniquecharacter of the vail Vittage Comrnerciat Area,with its nixture of lodges ind cornmercialestablishments in a predoninantly pedestrianenvironnent. The Comrnercial core i District isintended to ensure adequate light, air, openspace, and other arrenities appropriate to thepennitted types of buildings-lnd-uses. Thedistrict regulations in accordance with the VailVillage Urban Design Guide plan and DesignConsiderations prescribe site developrnenistandards that are intended to ensure thernaintenance and preservation of the tightlyclustered arrangements of buildings fronting onpedestrian ways and public greenways, and toensure continuation of the building scale andarchitectural gualities that distinguish theVil1age.
rt is the staff's opinion that this proposar is in conforrnancewith the intent or lne purpose sectiin irr trre commercial core rzone di-strict as stated above.
DESTGN DERATTONS
i
o
c.Steetscape, Framework :
The Design considerations strive to improve the quality ofthe _walking/pedestrian environment by prornoting €ne use oflandscaping along pedestrian routes lnO tne cr6ation ofplazas. and park green spaces as open nodes and focal pointsalong those routes. The Design Considerations also suggestthe infill of conmercial storefronts at key J.ocations iiongpedestrian routes to add street rife and visuar interest tothe Village.
The staff feels that this proposal will contributepositively to the overall pedestrian experience. Theproposed planter boxes, bencb and paver design, atong withthe preservation of the existing maple tree, -will create asrnall plaza area which we believe wlII enhance the lowerBridge Street area.
Street Enclosure:
The guidelines ernphasize that building facade heightsshould not be uniforrn fron building to building and thatthey shouJ.d provide a comfortable enclosure foi tne street.This proposed expansion will provide tbe recommendedstepped-back appearance to the west elevation of the SliferBuilding and staff believes the SLifer Building will be inconformance with this design criteria.
Street Edqe:
This criteria encouragQfuildings in the Village Core toforrn a strong but irregllar edge to the street.
The proposed addition will neet this criteria with itsglass-walled facade and irregular building line. The smallplaza area and extensive window transparency will also addto the visual interest of the pedestrian environment.
Buildinq Heiqht:
The proposed addition will have a maximurn height of 10 feetand will have no irnpact on overall building height.
Views and Focal points:
This proposal. will have no impact on views.
Service and Delivery:
No irnpact. The existing service/delivery a1ley on the eastside of the building will not be affected.
Sun,/Shade
This proposal will not substantially increase the spring orfaII shadow patterns on adjacent properties or on BridgeStreet.

1. Swearing in of new Commissioners.
Martha Raecker, Town Clerk, sworc in Greg Amsden, Diana Donovan, Ludwig Kurz and
Dalton Williams to the Planning and Envilonmental C.omrnission. Each new Commissioner
read the oath of office.
2. Election of Chairman and Vice-Ctrairman.
Chuck Crist nominarcd Diana Donovan to serve as Chairperson of the Planning and
Environmental Commission. Ludwig Kurz seconded the motion.
Dalton Williams brought up the question of moving the chairmanship to different individuals
each election. He thought it might be beneficial to having the responsibilities exercised by
different people, so they could obtain a better understanding of the position. Greg Amsden
believed that was a good idea to investigate.
Kathy Langenwalter raised the issue of the term length for the Chairperson. She wanted
clarification of whether the term was one or two years. Kristan Pritz was not sure, and asked
that Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney, be brought in to address the question.
Greg, as a courtesy, asked if Diana was, in fact, interested in remaining as Chairperson. She
indicated she was, and would accept the nomination. Kathy supported Diana's nomination,
stating that Diana made a good Chairperson, and maintaining her chairmanship would give
important continuity to the Commission. Ludwig agreed, saying that Diana had shown silong
leadership and a great understanding of the issues.
Larry Eskwith came into the meeting at this point. He said there was nothi4g specific ln. the
Code concerning a maximum term length, but did indicate the Code specified an annual
appointment with re-appoinfinents being acceptable.

There being no further nominations, the selection of Diana Donovan to serve as Chairperson
for a period of one year was unanimously declared.

motion. Dalton Williams nominated Ludwig Kurz to serve as Vice Chairman. Dalton's
motion was seconded by Kathy Langenwalter. After a secret ballot, Amber Blecker declared
that Chuck Crist had been elected as Vice-Chairman of the Planning and Environmental
Commission for the following year.
At this point, Gena Whitten left the meeting.
3. A reouest for an exterior alteration and a site coverage variance in Commercial Corg I
for the Slifer Building. 230 Bridee Str€et/Part of Irts B and C. Lot 5. Vail Villaee
First Filins.
Applicant Rod and Beth SliferPlanner: Jill Kammerer
Kristan Pritz explained that this item was requested to be tabled due to the Town Council's
action on a view corridor ordinance. In addition, staff would be nquesting a change in the
criteria for a site coverage variance to be evaluated under in the Commercial Core II zone
district in order to allow for the Urban Design Considerations and Guide Plan to be a factor
in the evaluation, as staff believed it was a more appropriaE standard than a flat 80% site
coverage requirement.
Diana Donovan asked what the 80%. sie coverage limitation woultl stand for under the
proposed changes. Kristan answered that it would be a guideline.
Kathy Langenwalter inquired if a variance would still be necessary if a project in this zone
district exceeded 807o site coverage? She also asked if this would basically only change the
criteria under which a variance was considered. Kristan said she was correct that the variance
and the Urban Design Considerations and Guide Plan would be used to review a site coverage
variance request.
Kathy Langenwalter moved to table the request for an exterior alteration and a site coverage
variance in Commercial Core I for the Slifer Building, 230 Bridge Street/Part of Lots B and
C,l.ot 5, Vail Village Fint Filing until February 24,lgg2. Ludwig Kurz seconded the
motion. It unanimously passed, 6-0.
4. Appointment of PEC mernber to serve on the Water Ouality hoiect.
A discussion was held regarding the membership of this group and its objectives. It was
decided to hold the decision on this appointment to a later time durring the meeting.
5. Appointment of PEC member to serve on the Housing Auttroriw.
Ludwig Kurz indicated his continued interest in serving on this boud. He was appointed by
acclaim of the Commission.

Re: Slifer Building Remodel
Response to Vlinstonrs Critique/Sketches
Dear JIII:
Pursuant to our discussions regarding your/Winston's
suggestions, this input is untimely, and as such, costly to theclient. Assuming these sketches are your posltion, we wouLdlike for you to consider our point of view.
Beginning from the north, the suggestion to move the door southto increase the planter is good. We will propose this to theclient.
Moving Lhe bay window to the south creates a train wreck on theroof. The reason we kept space north and south of the proposed
bay was to al-low for snow shed and dripping on the Slifer'sproperty, not the neighbors (i.e. Gorsuch). We request that webe allowed to keep the proposed bay where presented in the pEC
work session.
fn regards to the planter sketched by Winston, the purpose ofthis costly remodel is to J.mprove the cornmercial exposure. Weproposed to increase the planter to the south per the enclosedsketch. ff you feel the extension of the existing, ugly stonewill "tie it togetherr" we will propose this to tle ctient.
Every commercial tenant/client f have dealt with either asarchitect or DRB member has resisted planting in front of
commercial windows. Lionshead was remodeled to qive better
Ms. JiII Kammerer
January 29r 1992
Page 2
vlsible access to the faces of commercial wlndows. The planters
were removed or moved out into the maIl. The recently approved
Red Lion landscape plan has virtually no planters and good
commercial exposure. I do not understand why our consultant for
streetscape does not understand this basic fact.
Enclosed find our alternative plan which maintains the same
amount of landscape that Winston proposed but aIlows people the
pleasure of looking into windows unspoiled by dirty snow, frozen
plants, cigarette butts, and enpty cans.
Don't hesj.taLe to call after you have had a chance to review
this. We w1lL/can arrange a meeting with the Slifers.
Sincerely,

space. The 4' deep x. 11'-6" wide x 28' tall addition would be located on the front (west)
facade of the existing slifer collection retail space entrance (see attached plans).
The applicant also proposes to infill an area generally in the same location as the existing
entrance to the Slifer Collection retail space, which is covered by building above. Because
the area to be infilled is located under a cantilevered area, this new 28 sq. ft. entry vestibule
is already included in the site coverage calculations and. therefore will not increase site
coverage.
The Slifer Building is located in Commercial Core I. The maximum site coverage allowed in
this zone disrict is 807o. The exisring building's sire coverage is92.Lvo, under this
proposal, site coverage would increase to 93.9vo. Therefore, in order to allow the
In addition to this request for a site coverage variance, the applicant will also be required to
obtain an exterior alteration approval prior to the issuance of any building permit.
II. BACKGROUND
Other Town departments have not yet reviewed the proposal.
On November 13, 1989, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) reviewed and
approved a site coverage variance and an exterior alteration request for the Slifer Building for
a 93 sq. ft. addition at this same general location (please see the attached memo). The
proposed addition was subsequently approved by the Design Review Board (DRB) on
November 29,1989.
The PEC approved site coverage variance expired on November 13, 1990, and the DRB
approval expired on November 29, 1990.
In January of 1991, the Town's definition of site coverage was changed. Under the new
definition, cantilevered areas and covered walkways count as site coverage. For this reason,
the existing site coverage numbers in this memo will not correspond with the 1989 memo.
Under the 1989 site coverage and exterior alteration approval, the existing site coverage was
calculated at 89Vo and the proposed site coverage was 9ZVo.
In August of 1991, the PEC denied Super Stars Studio's request for a site coverage variance
for the construction of two bay windows at the Gorsuch Building, located in the Commercial
core I zone district, with the findings the Foperty is not encurnbered with a physical
hardship or unique circumstances and the project does not meet the findings for a site
coverage variance.

*A portion of the area to be infilled under this redevelopment proposal
will not contribute additional site coverage because the space to be
infilled is already covered by the second floor of the building.
Parking: The applicant will be required to contribute $19,496.00 to the Town of
Vail parking fund. The proposed addition will require 2.435 parking
spaces.
The parking fee for 1 commercial pa*ing space is $8,000.00. (85.5 sq.
ft.l300 =.285 x $8000 = $2,280.00)
The parking fee for office space is also $8,000.00 per parking space.
The formula for parking spaces associated with office use is as follows:
538 sq. tt./250 = 2.152 x $8,000 = $17,216.00.
Total parking fee = $2,280.00 + $17,216.00 -- $19196.00
IV. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSIO.N
l. Is there a physical hardship which warrants the ganting of a site coverage
variance?
The section of ttre Code relating to site coverage in CCI states:
"18.24.150 - Coverage.
Not rnore than eighty percent of the total site area shall be covered by buitding
and ground level patios and decks unless otherwise specified in the Vail
Village urban design guide plan and design considerations. (Ord. 21(1980) $ I
(part).)"
The Vail Villaee Urban Desisn Guide Plan:
The design considerations arc a critical element of the Urban Design Guide Plan.
They identify the key physical characteristics of the Village and provide the tools to
assure that new development is consistent with this established character. The design
considerations of the Urban Design Guide Plan relating to these site coverage variance
exterior alteration requests are as follows:
A. Pedestrianization
B. Vehicular Penetration
C. Streetscape Framework
D. Street Enclosure
E. Street EdseF. Building Heieht
G. Views and Focal PointsH. Service and Deliverv
I. Sun/Shade
2.
J. Architecture/LandscapeConsiderations
Will the proposed addition encroach into any of the Town's adopted view
corridors?
The existing maple tree will need to be removed under this proposal. To
compensate for the removal of this tree, the applicant has proposed to construct
a 45 square foot planter between the addition and the Ore House's exterior
dining deck wall. The net planting area in the planter will be 37 square feet.
In this planting area, the applicant proposes to install two, 3-4 inch caliper
aspens and ground cover.
To further compensate for the removal of the existing maple, the applicants
propose to install the Town of Vail Streetscape Plan's approved paving on
property which they own, adjacent to the building.
Currently, 7 newspaper dispenser boxes are located along the southern edge of
the applicant's property, in pan on the applicant's property and in part on
Town-owned property. Should these boxes be consolidated into sFeetscape
approved dispenser boxes, moved off-site, or should some variation of these
two altematives be pursued?
The proposed addition will cast 147 sq. ft. of additional shadow onto Bridge
Street (see attached drawing).
Are the proposed design and the resulting streetscape modifications acceptable?

MODIFTED APPLICATTON FOR EXTERTOR
ALTERATIONS OR MODIFTCATTONS IN
SITE COVERAGE ADDTTTON - O SOUARE FEET
. SQUARE FOOTAGE ADDITTON - 561 SQUARE FEET
RE: SLIFER BUITDING - BRIDGE STREET MODIFICATTON
The need for this application has evolved from a collection ofexisting circumstances reguiring architectural mitigation. The
recessed condition of the retail storefront creates a shaded andpoor exposure sltuatj-on. The rear common access easement, being
enclosed for obvlous winter conditions, greally reduces the
availablersquare footage on the site.1 6rr€ cot/€&6€
Concerning the issue of the common access easement, thefollowing calculations will show no increase in aIIowable site
coverage.
Existing Site Area 32'l 0.0 SFExisting Site Coverage (898) 2860.0 SF
Common Access Area 344.5 SFModified Site Coverage (7Bt) 2515.5 SF
Proposed Addition 57.5 SFModified Site Coverage (808) 2573.0 SF
?he design intent is to project a bay window on two levels toincrease visibility and square footage. The additionalIandscaping will compliment and provide continuity in publicgreenways. We feel this project ensures the preservation ofclustered bui.lding arrangements, scale and architecturalqualities fronting Bridge Street.
A. Evidence that proposal is in conformance with the purposesof the CC1 District as specified in 18.24.01 0. See enclosedplans and elevations.
B. The proposal substantially compli-es with the Vail Village
Urban Deslgn Gulde Plan regardlng:
1. Pedestrianization
The proposed addition is entirely wlthin the buildlngproperty lines and does not extend into the BridgeStreet corridor further than the existlng cylindrlcalform and the existing planter and garden waIIs of the
Gorsuch building. See site p1an. The Owner feels thatthe pedestrian flow is not inhibited by the addition.
Application for Exterior AlterationsSlifer Building - Bridge Street

3.
Vehicle Penetration
The proposal use does not require any additional
vehicular service. The new shop will be serviced from
Lhe a11ey on MiLL Creek Just as it is now. See enclosed
letter Beth Slifer to Peter Patten.
Streetscape Framework
Applieants feel t,hat the streetscape will be enhanced by
the proposal. the existing elevation and the space in
the recess is presently dark and inhospitable. The
addition of display windows, lighter colored trin and
siding, and new ground paving wilt bring the exterior of
thls portion of the building into the guallty 1eve1 of
other recent infill additions on Bridge Street and Gore
Creek Drive.
Street EnclosureApplicanls feel that the street enclosure w1Ll not be
adversely affected by the modification. The space will
be perceived the samei however, the rnicro environment
created by the addltlon wiLl" be more j.nteresting.
5. Street Edge
The edge of the street will be effectively the same; the
walls on the edge will be more interesting and fresher.
6. Building neight
The ridge of the bay window addition is the same height
above Bridge Street as the high polnt of the Sfifer
Building. Therefore, the overall building height
remains unchanged.
Views
Not affected.See above.
8. sun,/Shade Consideration
Due to the north-south orientation on Bridge Street and
the fact that the proposal does not extend out west of
the existing cylindrical projection, the midday shading
has not been greatly added to (see study). Alsot
conditions in the afternoon are not changed. The only
minor effect is a short period around 10:00 a.m. whenthe sun is between the point where it is intercepLed by
the existing 15' high north-south elevation of theSlifer Building. A1I of this is already in shade due to
the much higher existing Gorsuch building. The net
effect of the proposal regarding shading is negligible.
4.
Application for Exterior AlterationsSlifer Buildlng - Bridge Street
Page 3
No changes to the VaiL Village Urban Design Plan are proposed
and the proposal w111 be compatible with the character of the
neighborhood.
PLease make note of the precedence established by similarexistlng projections in CC1 (see photos).
The fact that this project had been previ.ously approved
(PEC - '11113/89 and DRB - 11129/89) indicates a positive
response to this improvement and its overall effect on theBridge Street environment. The request is sirnply a continuationof that intent. Thls modified request entails no additionalsite coverage varianee. The project rvouLd be at the 80E
aLl.owed.

The meeting was called to order by the chairperson, Diana Donovan. Dalton Williams had
been appointed by Town Councilto replace Jim Shearer until February.
WORK SESSION
1. A request for a work sesslon for an exterlor alteratlon and a slte coverage
varlance ln Gommerclal Core I for the Sllfer Bulldlng, 230 Bridge StreevPart ot
Lots B and G, Lot 5, vail vlilage Flrst Flling.Appllcant: Rod SilferPlanner: Jlll Kammerer
The work session was led by Kristan Pritz. Kristan showed a drawing indicating areas of infill
and expansion, as well as elevations. She explained pavers would extend to the end of the
Clock Tower stone wall. Kristan listed the items for discussion. The first conc€rned whether
or not there was a physical hardship for the variance. Other concerns were encroachment
into any adopted view corridors; the removal of the maple tree with replacemenr of 2 aspens
and ground cover in a planting area; where to place the newspaper dispenser boxes; the
amount of additional shade which will be cast onto Bridge Street; and whether or not the
resulting streetscape modifications are acceptable.
With regard to the view corridor, the surveyor was rechecking this, and the applicant would
respond after receiving the results from the surveyor.
Ned _Gwathmey, projeci architect, made three responses to the question of physical hardship.
The flrst was.that the protrusion of the building limited the exposure of the retail space. By
bringing out the retail area, this would improve. Ned then pointed out the area being inlilied
was on the top level surrounded by walls. Due to all the additions surrounding it, this area
was covered with snow and in poor technical condition. Ned also felt there was a precedent
for bay windows in the core area.
{
The deck to be construcled at Russell's Restaurant was discussed. Beth Slifer felt the deck
would turther decrease the visibility of Slifer Designs.
Rod Slifer expressed an interest in getting rid of the newspaper racks. Connie Knight
wondered if people gening newspapers from the racks would then notice the Slifer Design
store, but was told the racks did not help in this regard. Proposed was a bench incorporated
with the planter.
Rod felt the lool additions would be lower than the roof line of Gorsuch, but this would be
checked. Diana pointed out that the covering of Gorsuch windows would have to be worked
oul with Dave Gorsuch.
A question concerning the caliper of the existing tree followed. lt is approximalely 5"-6' in
caliper. Ned lelt the tree was in a poor place with relation to the windows. The Slifers
proposed the installation of two aspen of 3"-4" caliper in the planter. Diana wondered why the
maple lree was not just transplanted. Beth Slifer responded this tree was very messy. Rod
felt it was too large for its location, and shed for several weeks each fall. Diana felt a
substantial tree was needed, and preferred one larger tree to two smaller trees.
Gena liked the architecture. However, with the anticipated construction of Russell's deck, she
was concerned about everyone on Bridge Street moving outward toward the street. Kristan
replied the statf was concerned about being consistent with respect to past decisions made on
site coverage variances. She pointed out the staff had just told Paul Golden he could not
increase his site coverage for two bay windows. G)trt:l' i: .l':'':.."': I
Connie felt the ridge line was also crucial. She asked for dimensions of the increase in
shadow. Ned replied it was 5-1/2' - 6' deep. Connie asked that it be drawn with other
.shadows along Bridge Street. She liked the architecture.
Kathy Langenwalter was concerned about the news dispensers. Kristan mentioned there had
been talk of combining the racks into one wooden dispenser and perhaps moving them to
another place. Kathy also felt a model would be helpful.
Dalton had no problems with the proposal.
Diana again expressed the desire for a "significant" tree. Kathy wondered if a different type of
tree other than aspen could be used.
Kathy moved and Chuck seconded to reeommend to the Town Gouncll that the Councll
deslgnate locatlons lor newsracks and limlt the newsracks to those locatlons. The vote
on thls motlon was 7-0 In favor.

Re: Slifer Building Exterlor Alterations
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to your "revised g/4/91 Application for ExteriorAlterations in cc1 , " we reguest a pre-application conference forconsideration of the enclosed design.
A previous sinilar applicatlon r,vas approved by p.E.C. and DRBpursuant to Mike Moll"icats August 5, 1991',letter to me, and hasexpired. The current proposal is sirnilar in location, we areassuming a whol-e new application is required. concurrently, weknow as before we must file for a site coverage variance ai tneexisting structure exceeds the allowable.
We feel this is a more compatible design and will add to thepedestrian experience on Bridge street. on behalf of the owner,we would like to address the process to avoid the usualglitches, flood plain studies, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you so we can make the24 November deadline. Thanks for your continued cooperati.on.
