RES�BDIVTSZON OF L0� i4, BLOCK 4, BIGf��ORN SUBDIVISIO� THIRD ADDTTION.
The Pla�ning Cflrnmission .had made a v3sual inspection of this proper�y last week. Applicants
would 1�ke �o subdiv9de t�e parcel into 6 dupTex lats with si.zes ranging from
15,5Q0 square fee� to 26,70Q 5quare feet. It was no��d that these lots are designed
ta meet the re�uireme�ts of the up-coming 40% s7ope requirements and tha� �he applicants
foZ1owed the s�aff request of no more than 4 uni�s per acre density in the
resubdivision.
Leroy Tobl�r & Tim Garton made th� presentation of the proposed resubd�vision of
the Borwick Praperty ( Lat 1�, BZock 4, Bighorn 3rd).
The P3anning Commission felt very positively towards the resubdivisian but withheld
voting un��� the fo1lowing probiems have been worked out:
7 ) Easement committments �re: water)
2) Low wa�er �ressure �re: f�re protection)
3) Road profi3�s approved by Ken� Rose (re; sectians, cuiverts, cuts & fi17s}
4) The easement across �ot 13 (owned by Bonnie 0'Leary) should be
dedicated as a road
5) CATU service
6) Letter from Chen & Associat�s stating that the resub. is in line
w�th all geo�og�c concerns
7) How the parking is going to be hand�ed an the site.

LIONSHEA� TNEAT�R -- PARKING VARIANC�
This variance is for 11 spaces needed far the proposed retail area located on top
of the thea�er.
Jeff Selby & Ron Todd gave a historica7 description of the deve1opment of the theater.
In doing so they presented a schematic plan showing the developme�t wi�h the �1 spaces
needed for the retail area on the site, as well as the�r proposed plan showi�g no parking
on the site,
Attached is the s�aff inemorandum which aut7ines �h� Com�unity Deve1vpment Department's
concerns. It was suggested that the app� icants �nvestigate the addition of a loading
dock, and the placement of the cue sta�rway away from the bus s�o�.
Dudley Abbatt made a mation to grant �he parking variance for the T�eater; Ed Drager
seconded the motian. A 4-2 vo�e was recarded in favor of the motian (Mills & Hanlon
opposed & Corcoran abstained}. Milis and �anlon were against the variance beca�se
�hey fe1t that at a future time parking will be needed and that the trade outs
were nat good enough to �ust�fy the variance (i .e. completion of the mal7 , �andscaping)
Arguments for: the theater was a needed th�ng �or Lionshead; completion of �he ma7�
was necessary to the economic viabi1ity of the Lionshead area; on-site parking Vras
very una�tractive; committing the applicant �o a future need af parking was not
feasible or fair especially when looking at the unus�d spaces pr.es��t7y required
�� by the Zo�ing Ord�nance -- same sore of leasing agreement should be iooked into.

pear Mike: � �
We received the drawing of the praposed 6orwick Subdivision �rom yo�a
today and we would ] ike ta make some �r�lir�inary comments on behaif
o�' the 13ighorn Water District.
First, it aPpears that adequate wate�- pressur� cannot now be provided
to t1�e subdivis'san and that some means of increasing the. press�re will
i be r�eeessary. This cau�d be �ia .a booster pumpir�g statian, intercon-
r�ection to higher press�re zone, anc�/or storage abo�e the prnpose� site.
Whatever merhod is selected, it m�st provide adequate fire �laws as weli
as adequafe domestic service. W� wou�d recommend to the Distirict that
the devEioper be respansible for the cost of his share of any facilities
necessary to serve t�e site.
At this date, with 3 �mited time a�ailable before the January 6th dead-
. lin� you mentianed, it is na� possible to determine ei.ther the most
feasibl� service �i�e�hoc] nor the Distric�'s policy on service to this
pra�erty. We woujd just lik� to indicate that th�re is an unresotved
problem at this � ime. We are available to the applican� or his engi-
neer to discuss possible salutions.

Re : BTGHORN WATER BTSTRICT

Resubdivision of Bighorn
Fi�ing 3 , Approxa.mately 3
Acres Cantaining 6 Duplex
Lots
Dear Mr. I.amont:
The Bighorn Water D�.s�r�ct has been xequested to respond
to the availability a£ water for the above-referenced praposed
resubdivision.
Bi.ghorn Water District has previously indicate�. its abili�y
.- �o serve this prop�xty and does reaffirm i�s expectata�on �hat
watc�r service wa.I1 be available �a it. Afi. the present time ,
�rhe Distric� believes its Water Rights option contract with
Princevill� Corporat�on provides it w�.th more than adeauate
damestic water supplies �o serve the prospective build-out of
the Bighorn Water Da.strict. A1so at the presant tame , the Big-
horn Water Distric�. has jus� r�cent�.y consummated an intercon-
nection wa.�h the Gore Va�.1ey Wa��r District , providing back-up
water storage and raw ti+rater supplies in �he event of an emerge�cy
need. Finally, the Distra.ct is proceeding, along with �he other
water entities in the Gore Va11ey, to research and resolve remain-
ing water suppli�s , storage and capital �acilities issues . We
expect tha�. wi�hin the year this revised master plan for water
facili�ies in tihe Va11ey wi11 be complete and zhe B�ghorn Water
District is prepared to engage in eapital cons�ruc�ion which wi11.
serve the needs of its constituents.
We are aware of the wa�.�r pxessure problems of th�s particular
parcel . We believe that supplementary fixe flow pumps and/or sto�r-
ag� : on the property will resolve the existing problem. We �ur-
thex beli�ve that wathin a year fo3.�.owing th.e comple�ion of the
Valley-wa.de watex study that the supplementary water supply pumps
or storage wi11 be unn.ecessary, since pr�ssures in the area and/or
add�.�ianal storage will be increased so that the property wi11 be

ab3.e �Co be served norma3ly and adequately. Should development
take pl.ace prior to this time, o� course, such supplementary
water flow facilita.es would have to be installed by �he develop-
ers of the proper�y.
Finally, the T3istrict has an ou�s�anding issue with
Mr . Borwick, whic� could affec�. the ability to provide water
service . Consequently, unless this issue is resolve�. within 30
days- -this com�itmen� to serve will be wi�hdrawn. We wz�.1 for-
mal�.y ratify ox withdraw this commi�men� to you we1.1 befare your

�ATE: January 6, 1977
RE; Lionshead Theatre Request for Par[cing Variance
and Resubdivision of a por�ion of Tract C and a
portion of Lot 8, Block 1 , Vaii Lionshead Third �'iling
Rich Tofel and Jeff Seiby have app3ied for the subject var�ar�c� in order
to a17ow the construction of a 380 seat t�eatre to be to:�ally underground, with a
1ob�y and ap�roxima�e7y 3,300 square �Fee� to retail space located above grade. The
site proposed for resubdivision is 11 ,480 square feet.
PAR�CIiVG VARIANCE: Required parking is 38 spaces for �he �hea�re
� and 11 spaces for the retail space. At the request of th� Plannir�g
Commission on preliminary review and Eldon Beck, a1T parking has
ueen removed from the site and landscapir�g and pedestrian improve-
ments subs��tuted. The variance r�ques� is for 11 parking spaces
far the Cammercia� area. The 38 spaces required -�or the theatre
are bezng satisfied by a joint-use parking agreement w��h Vail
�� Associa�es �r� the north day skier parfcing lat. �rnie Nunn af the
Forest Service has stated that he agrees with evening use of the
day skier 7ot but wouTd have reserva�ions of use of the theatre
were not s�ecifically designated for evening use.
CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS (SECTiON 19.600}
i . The reiationship of the� requested variance to other existing
or potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
There are no other pater�tial theatre sites in the Lionshead area
which abut t�e ex.i.sting ma1T system and a7so adjacent to the major bus route,
The pro�osed site is unique 1n�his respect and forms a necessary completion of the
mall sys�em a� th� West end of Lionshead. Ti�e only structure ti�at could b�
adversely impacted is Montaneros and their view corridor is to the South; however,
the proposed bui]dings ar�e one s�ory in l�e�ght and the projec� is a def�n�te
aesthet�c improvement over the �xist�ng use. The lack of parking cou]d create some
,.� ,
.Lionshead Th�ater
'January 6, 1977

: �
� prablems for �he surround7ng buildings i� theatre patrons drive and at�emp� to
park in private lots adjacent �o �he theatre; however, ther� is the large day�skier
]ot dlrect1y r�or�h of the sit� wh�ch is not used at r�ight wi�ach shou1d accommodate
auto traffic to �he theatre. Haurs of use of the '�heatre s�ould be strictly
contralled sa as not to cr�a�e a conf7�ct wi�h day-skier parking. We don`t feel
that we can 7ustify a pai^ki,ng variance �or t1�� addition o�' 3,300 squar� fee� of
retail space unless �he applicant can demanstrate that parking can be provided on
the site. We then feel we could justify removal of parking for aesthetic
re�sons to obtain more landscap�r�g. 7here have been no parking variances
granted in the Lionshead area except �hose removed �o allow more landscaping. This
could cansti�ute a serious precedent and grant af special privilege unless applicant
can meet the cri�eria outlined above, The r�tail space was added at the reques�
of £ldon B�ck who analyzed the project from stric�ly a design s�andpoint.
2, The degree to which relief from tf�e strict or 7iteral interpretation
and enforcement af a sp�cif�ed regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among s�tes �n the
vicinity ar to attain t�e objectives of this ordinance withaut
grant o� specia� pr�vilege.
Str�ct interpretation of the ordir�ance v�au�d not a��ow the proposed
'�e wh�ch leaves the area in an unsi ht7y, muddy mess. A n��tber
buildin on �he si 9
9
of �arking variances have I�een gran�ed in l.ionshead (Vail Internat�onai , Sunbird;
Montaneros, Lodge at Lionshead) to a17ow for r�ore 7andscaping. In every case,
the parking ca�ld be provided but ]andscaping was more desirable in mee�ting the
�: goals of the Master PTan. The parking for the �heatre is sim�lar to the CroSSroa�s
request for joint-use parking and approval of the agreement would be in keep�ng with
treatmen� o�' Crossroads Cinenta as they were not required to provide separate parking
for �he thea�re. Ap�roval of the parking variance for the retail space, even
though it is extremely desirable as a terminus for the r�a71 and from a des�gn
standpoin�, would be a grant of special privilege not enjoyed by ather projects in
the area unless the app7icant can demonstrate that. on-site parking can be prov�ded
and that the pedestrian mall and more landscaping u�ould be des�rable. When we
have comp1eted a camprehensive parking study, variances of this na�ure may well
be jt�stifiable. We strangly suppart Eldon's recommendation for �he re��il space
and landscaping instead of parking but fee� that the par�cing niust be accommodated
in order to avoid the "CCI Syndrome" again.
3. The effect o� the reguest�d variance on 1�ght and air, distribution
of population, transpor�at�on and traff�c facilities, publ�c
facilities and �tilities, and publzc safety.
A positive impact cou�d be created pertaining to distribution of
popu1ation. The �ionshead area is in crit�cal ne�d of night-time ac�ivity to draw
peaple through the ma�� System ar�d create interest in the area. Transportation
could be impacted as we fee7 t�e majarity of theatre-goers w-ill use the b�s sys�em;
howev�r, use of pu6lic tra�tspor�ation �s lightest during the house of operatian
an� �he proposed �se shou1d not require additional public expenditure, Applicant
proposes to provide a waiting station for a bus stop within the project. We
foresee no adverse �mpact on the other fac�ors as �he bulk of the proposed use 3s
primarily underground.

FTNDINGS:
] . Tha� the granting of the variances wi�l not cons��tute a grant
of sp�cial privilege incor�sistent with the 3i��tations on other
properties c1assified �n the same district.
SEE ITEMS 1 AND 2 UND�R CONSID�RATION OF FACTQR5.
Grant of th� theatre parking request is consistent wi�h
trea�ment o�F other sites and like facili�ies, W� feel approval of �he parking
variance would be grant of speciai privi�eqe and shou�d not be appraved unless
�he criteria outlined in Item 2 aboue can be met.
2. Tha� the gran�ing of �he variance will not be detrimental
�a �he pub�ic heal��> safety, or welfare, or mater�al3y injurious
to properties or i�nprovemen�s in �he vicini�y.
We feel the pro�ect would have a ver pos��ive impac� on the
neighborhood and wou1d nat be detrimental to any other properties in the vicir�ity.
3� 7hat the variar�ce is warranted for one or mare of the �o110wing
reasons:
a. The strict or iiteral interpretation and enforcement of the
spec�fied regulations wauld resu7� �n practical diff�culty
� or unnec�ssary physicai hardship inconsis�ent with the
ok�jectives of this ordinance.
Se� description of the requested variance -- prac�ical diffic�lty
is created by the small lo� size and location of the exis�ing buildings. We
do no� feel , how�ver, tha� there is a hardship involved related to the parking
for the proposed retail space.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances ar
cond�tions appl�cab�e to the site of �he variance that do
not apply generally to other propert7es in �he same zone.
There are no other sites in the CC2 area of this size and dimension.
The proposed project so7ved a �ong-s�anding problem af a ver�r unsightly gravel
parking lot which probably cannot otherwise be resolved without c.ostly litigation.
�'he propasal also �rav�des a so�ution to the "end of �he Mall" q��ra���'Y �nd qives
much needed life to Lionshead.
The Department of Cammunity Developm�nt recommends appraval of
the requested joint-use agreement �or parking far the �heatre. We reco�mend denial
of the parking variance for the retail space unless the crite�^ia can be met, and
propose �hat �he app7icant �nvestigate the passibi7ity a� sharing space with another
�" praject which exceeds the parking requiremer�t. .

Deax J�ff:
This Ie�tter is to con�irm our conversations �he a�her clay wherein
Vail Assoca.ates indica�.ed that it had no objec�i.on to the us� o�
oux no��h day-skiers parka.ng lot by the g�neral public during
evening hou.rs. Our understanding is that �ou contemplate develop�ng
a thea�tre at the wes� end of the LionsHead mal.1. which would be onen,
only during the evening. We would have no objec�.ion �o the use of
the north day-skiers park�.nq l.ot by theatre pa�rons c�uring th� hours
o� 6 :00 p.m. and 12 :00 midnight. Such k�ours �aould av'oid a con��ict
betw�en the parking requa.ze�nen�.s of yaur patrans and those o� our
skiers and still pezmit us to properly plow the 1a-� af�ter midnight.
�du should be aware, how�ve�-, that should you plan to offer matinee �
showings during the winter manths , there would � ik�ly be a direct
conf].ict wi�h the lot ' s intenc��d use to prova.de parking fa� our 5kiers
and our employees . By agreement urith the U .S. Forest Service , a
� minimum numbex of parking spaces must be available for skier use .
Accordingly, in recogni�ion of �his ob]�igation, we wil.7. continue to
control the daytime use of the 10�. �n acldi�ion, �here may be �imes
when the lot may be closed to the public for cnnstruc�.ion, maint�nance ,
or o�hez sirni.l.ax reasons , and again, we xeserve th� ric�ht �o close it
for such purposcs ��t ou� d�scxctian, although we bclieve tha� th�se
occasions wil� be infrequent.
By way o� clari�ication, this essential.ly represents our position with
xespect to the use of any o� our �ublic lo�.s by non-skiex�s . �7ack Barr,

V,4IE. ASSOCTAT�S, Request to Rezone and Resubdivide Lo� 1 , BTock 2, Vail Potato Patch
Roger Tilfcemeier, from Vail Associates, gave the Planning` Commiss�on some background
informa�ion pertaining �o the site in question. 1'heir prapase� plar� �s �a
down-zone �he property from MDMF to two family residential, and subdivide �he
property into four duplex ]ots and one single �amily lot.
At�ached is the staff commen� and recommer�dation wfiich was �or approva7 ,pravided
that the road right-of-way prab7er�i be resolved. Diana To�gh�ll d7d raise the
issue a�: possible "spot-zaning" per�aining to :the one single-family lot �ocated
with�n twa�family 7ots. VA's reasons for havir�g the orte SFR 1ot is that they
would like to have 4 good sized dupTex iots and l gaod sized SFR lot rather than
� 5 nominal sized lots zoned two family, and ��ere. seems .�Q be a na�ural boundary
�et4veen ;the SFR la�: and the adjoining dup1ex lot. if forced to have 5 dup7ex la�s,
one piece of ��^operty would have a natural drainage line right in the middle
o�F his lot,
it was suggested by Cammissioner Abbott �hat some other form of access be i�vestigated
o�her than the use of Sandstone Road w�iich is already tao congested ,ar�d becoming
a problem. The staff fe1t that th�s was an �tem �hat might be brought up as a
separate item on another Planning Commission agenda when the peopl� directly deaiing
with this probTem cauld be present.
As �here was no further discussion, Gerry Whi�e made a mo�tion �for approval of the
rezoning and resubdivisior� of l.ot i , Black 2, Va37 Potato Patch proV�de� tha�
Larry Rider review the question of 1 SFR lot v�ithin duplex zoning as "spot-zoning"
and �he appropriate action taket�> Dud�ey Rbbott secon�ed the motior�. A 5-4 .vo-�e
was recorded in favor of the mo�ion with Dan Corcoran abstaining.
PROPOS�D REZONING OF LOT 9, B1..00K 2, VRTL POTATQ PATCH FROM HDMF T� MDMF
The appl �car�t, Robert Lazier, requests dawn zoning the above-mentioned property
from HDMF to MDMF. F��s pre� iminary plans for the site inc7ude a 90 uni� project
with a GRFA af approximately 75,000 square feet. Ron Todd, t.he architect, gave
a presentat-ion of their preliminary master plan as well as sir�iiar p�ans locate�
on lower dens�ty zone districts. (This was done as a staff request for the
Planning Commissions information). Attached on the staff inemorandum is a char�
which compares the �roposal with the allowab7e factors in various zone distric�s.
�
Diana To�ghiii gave the staff presentatian which sumr�arizes the staff inemorandum.
She touched upon the fol7awing �ac�ors in re]ation to the project:
, . . PTanning Com�iss�o� -2- January 13, 1977
i ) Visual and aesthetic impact;
2� Popu]ation
� 3} �arki�g and traffic f7ow
4} Recreational amenities
5� R�Tationsh�p of the undeveZoped sit�s .in �he surrounding area to this
project as we1Z as the relationship of the deve7oped sites. It was noted
by �he staff that the genera7 neighborhood is of a residentiai nature
and wou7d a project af th�s size f�t in?
Commissioner Corcoran feit �hat the area is not pr�mari7y a residentiaT
area. There are a few single fam�Ty and duplex lot5 nestled in with mu7ti�famiiy
dwel�i�gs, i .e. Sandstone Condos. Brooktree, Almond Apts, etc.
Co�missioner White felt very favorabie towards the projec� in general .
According to the chart, the app7�cant has severely cu� �iis allowed site coverage,
a�ded �ore iandscaping, and has cu� down �he height of his buildings. He felt
�hat thas pro3ect was def�nitely in kee�ing with Growth Management was was willi�g
to vote on ��e praject,
Ed Drager, D�diey Abbott and Sandy Milis felt tha� �hey needed more time
to think about �he project and to dec�de which 1ower density zone is t�� most
approPriate given the exising canditions and charact�r of �he surrounding
neighborhood, A 3,3 vot� was recorded in favor of tabling fina� decisian until
next week.
LIONSHEAD THEATER -- RARKTCdG VARIANCE

70: Planning Commission
FRQM: Department of Commun�ty Development
DAT�: January 13, 1977
RE: Proposed r�zor�ir�g af Lot 9, Block 2, Vai1/Potato
Pa�tch f'rom HDMF ta MDMF
The applicant, Rabert T. Lazier, has requested a downzoning from }iDMF to
MpMF with a total maximum of 90 one- and two-�edroom units and a gross residentia�
f7oor area o#' app�^oximate]y 75,000 square feet.
The Planning Commission and the sta�Ff have discussed at great length what
the prflper zoning shauld be far �he subject property. We have a11 fe�l� that HDMF
� was too high i� density. Sirtce there seems to be no consensus, each zone d�strict
through reszdent-ial wili be compared for the si�e. (See a�tached chart).
There are several important fac�ors which tnust be considered hefore an
in�ellegent decision can be made to de�ermine the pro�er zoning for thls ir�portant
site.
1 ) Visual and aesthetie impact -- Eldon Seck`s v�sual analysis of the
valley flags th�s si�e as on� with a great deal of visual impor�anee
due to its location and v�sibility from almost every angle -- It may be
�o our advantage to a13ow the additional un�ts and population in
order to gair� the covered parking and in turn less total site coverage.
2} Popu�a�ion -- 7he impact af popu1atian on the valley is critical to the
proposed growth r�anagemen� pjan. If we assu�ne that all our efforts
wi71 1ead us to a popu7at�an in the range of 30,000, HDMF zoning would
al�ow approximately 10% of the remaining population in th�s projec�;
MDMF' approximately 6% of �he to�a7 ; th� propased prolect approximately
3.6%; LDM�' a�proximately 2,3%; RC approximately 1 .�% and R less than
1%.
3) Relationshi of the use to �he develo ment object�ves of the Town --_
After contro7l�ng the population, our gaal has beer� to concentrate
� density near the ped�strair� areas and mass transportation. l��th �he
completion o�' the I-70 overpass, the proposed pro�ec� mee�s bath these
criter�a. It also has good auto access from the Nort� Frontage Road.
< < .s= Lazier -2- January �3 , i977
4) W� must also consider �he e-Ffect upon �raffic, with par�ic�lar
reference �o cangestian, au�omotive and pedestr�an safety and convenience,
.�. traf-�ic f7ow and control , access, maneuverability, and removal of snow
from the s�reets and parking areas. 1"he proposed project couTd generate
i20 cars. I�' we assume the norma1 average trips per unit per day of
3.7 per unit, �t cou7d increase traffic on �he Frontag� Road hy 333 cars
per day. Th�s may not be a vaiid assumptian given the pedestrian over-
pass and the prox�mity to mass trans�t. There is adequate snow storage
area on the site. Careful attent�on must be given to er�try and exit
frflm the Frontage Road. Since the entrance to the Frontage Road is
on a fairly streep hill , we would strongiy recommend tha� there be
on1y one entry and exit paint rat�er than �he faur ramp sys�em as
proposed.
5) Ano�her consideration is �he e�'fect of the proposed pro,ject an 7ight
and a�r, dis�ribution of popula�ion, �ransportation fac�3i�ies,
util7ties, schools, parks and recreation �aci7ities and other publie
facilities and publ�c �Facilities needs. The proposed project could
make i� necessary to add an add�tiona7 bus or larger bus to �he
� Sandstone route, There should �e little -�mpact on light and air as
buildings are �ower than �ast surrounding structures. The requested
down-zon�ng has a positive impac� on d�s�ribut�on ofr population as
it is significantly iower than �s now permitted. There cou'[d be some
3mpact or� schools if some units ar� long-term, and some impact on
water and sewer usage, as weT] as other utilities. Use of solar
energy on this south exposure should be carefully considered.
Adequate recr�ationa7 fac�lities sl�ould be encouraged on the si�e
� �o provide �or the project so as not to create an adverse impact
on public recreation fac-ilities. The proposed projec� is direct7y
adjacertt to the Sandstone Tot �ot,
b) Effect upon the character ofr the area in which the proposed use is
to be located mus� be considered, inc7uding the scaZe and bulk of the
proposed structures in relation ta surrounding uses. The character
of t�e Potato Patch/Sandstone area ha5 c�anged significan�ly since
Lot 9 was ariginally zaned HDMF; 9th �iling was down-zoned from
MDMF' to R as have twQ ather Potato Pa�ch si�es. �he entire Potato
Aatch area was down�zoned approxima�e1y 35% by Vai1 Associa�es at
the �ime it was subdiv�ded in 197G, The c�aracter is residential ,
primarily made up of 3ong-t�rm residents--short-term housing may be
in conflict with the �stablished character.
7) We must be extremely carefu1 in eva7uating the impact o�F th� prajec�,
both visual1y and physica77y, on the adjoining neighborhood. Speciai
care must be �aken that views are not blacked and that any surface
park�ng is scre�ned with landscaping to protect views from 9th Filing
and upper residential �ots in Po�ato Patc�.
S} Another considera�ion is the re1a�ionship of �he proposed project to
o�her existing ar potentlal uses and s�ruc�ures i� the vicinity.
One o�' the most importan� factors we must realize �s what can be
btt-i�t given the exis�ing zoning which would take an absolute minimum
. af 45 days to change. There are two remaining MDMF si�es and one HDMF
s��e in the vicini�y.
' � 3 - January T3, 7977
, ,.{•. Lazier

,
� hi5 is one of �he most important decisions
We, as a s�aff, fee� tha� t
ever faced by the P7anning Comm�ssion and feel that any decision reached should
be based on the positive and negative 'Factors enumerated, and nat on a staff
recommendation. We do, howev�r, fee1 t1�at down-zaning 7s very much ir� order,
but it must be decided whicf� lower dens��y zane is most appropriate given the
ex�st�ng condi�ions and character of the surraunding neighborhood.

rezoning is for five {5) . lots zoned two family res�dentia3 which wou7d allow
a maximum of 30 dwell�ng un��s, or a reduction in density of 20 dwelling un�t.
The resubdivision and rezon3ng of this site mee�s the specificatians

Th� appl �cant, Kaiser Morcus, had no additionai commen�s to r�ake,so Diana
7augFt�11 autlined the staff inemorandum.to �he A7anning Cammission. Areas that
should be noted or iden�ifie� some prob7�m areas were as fol7ows:
1 ) Occupancy data �- s�aff fe3it that �he figures were understated
approximately 1i�-12% during the peak t�mes.
2} OverfTow guests --- where wi17 they stay?
3) Employment -, more jobs created but poss�ble 7ack of emp7oyee housing
for peop�e employed not at the Mark
4) Recrea�ional A�nenities
5} Energy Consumption --� alternate energy sources should be it�vest3ga�ed
and possibly �ncorpora�ed into the design process
6) Sewer Capacity -�-� it was noted that the project wil� E�e completed
summer of 1975 ra�h�r than wir�ter of 797� (phase I of the project) --
this should have a benefi��a� effect upon the sewer capaci�y
7) surface runoff

DATE: January 2'7, 1977
R�: 7'he Mark Environmental Irr�pact Repart
The Department of Commun�ty Development has rev-�ewed �he revised impact
statement for the proposed Mark project and have the fo1lowing statements:
1 ) Given occupancy data produced as a part of the Growth
Manag�ment Study, �he potent�al peak pop�lation impact could be und�rstated (page 9. )
2) The estimated overflow guests raises an interesting
question -- are there er�ough vacant rooms in the Lionshead area to accommoda�e
� the overfiovr? lls�ng the occupancy characteris�ics out7ined on page 9, a to�al of
438 condom�nium units or 875 accommodation units wouid be necessary to �ouse �he
guests tha� couid not stay at the Mar�C. �'he gr.eates� overflow is projected in
Ju�y. Using current units s�arveyed �n Lionshead (acco�moda�ion for approximately
2,675 people} and occupancy figures far those uni�s (51% �n July) and assumir�g
their occupancy wi17 increase at the same rate projected for the Mark, ad�quate
accommadations da not presently exist. Approximate7y 200 addi�ional accommadation
units or ]00 condominium units would be necessary. With the proposed comp7ex on
the Va�l 8 site, there shau�d be enaugh units in Lionshead (page 22}.
� 3) Projected employment of 272 persons at fuii capacity
creates an add�tional 129 jobs whlch in turn creates the need for additianal empToyee
housing units, If we assume that 80% of t}�e emp�oyees reside �r� the Gore Valiey
and that each employee unit houses an average of 3 persons, an additional 34 emp�oyee
� dwe�ling units (impact r�port estimated 40) would be required, Ka-iser contra7s
Fall Line apartments which he uti1ized for employee hous�ng. There are 54 apartments

� in the comp1ex or possibly fewer than the add�tional demand created by the project
�i,�` (page 24 & 31 ) . The additional residents ge�erated in Eag1e County compounds
this. We must also consider �he non-Mark emp7oyees t�at will be d�splaced by
�ark employees.
4) I� an analysis of projected revenue to the �own of
Vail , one important category has been over loo�ed -- the Recreational Amentities
Tax of approximate�y $81 ,OOQ.00 of which approxima�ely $25,000 w�11 be retained
by �he Town a�ter appropriate credit for on-site amenities �as been gran�ed. Another
major income category is tap fees to �h� Water & Sani�at3on District of in excess
of $60,000.
No at�empt was made �o estimate increased li���� ine waiting time crea�ed
by the Mark (p�fl b�b�Y �� ��possible task as the use charac�er�stics of Lionshead
will probab1y change with this h�ing the on�y Gondola) . Sut, if we assume an
average lift wai� of 15 minutes, a �9% �ncrease would be no more than a 3 minute
• increase which daes not seem significant (page 37).
5) The negative impact of fireplaces has been lessened
by l �miting fireplaces �0 2 in publ3c areas (page 40).
6} Energy consu�ption has been addressed, but the repart
does not sta�e whether the additional naturaT gas and electricity is avialable to
meet the demand. We would agai� strong1y recomme�d that alternative energy sources
and conservation techniques be thnroughly investigated �page �1 ).
7) Sewer capacity seems �o be a possible proble� during
the 1978 season, but wi17 be reso�ved prior to �he 1979 season. In the meantime,
the Town will be p�acing the burden on the Up�er Eag�e Va�ley Sanita�ion System,
which they will be equipp�d to handle (page 43).
8) Surface runoff should be provided for as out�ined in
the repor� or by an alternate method, This shouZd be a reqUire�ent for approval
� of th� E.I.R. (page 44).
` Mark Environmental Impac� Report -3- January 27, 1977

. 9) Pedestrian access through Lianshead �o the gondo7a area
� must be tharoughly st�died by the Town and Vai1 Associa�es. The Mark pTan must
pravide access through the project from the West Parking Lot (page 45) .
10} The F'ores� Serviee is providing a general policy
s�atement regarding day-skier parking lot use. There appears �a be no problem in
�tilizing the west iot for� overflow parking in the summer months {page 46). If
curren� winter parking trends cant�nue, convent�ons during this time shou�d have
adequate on-site parking,
11 ) The estimated increase in bus useage generat�d by the
project tends to indica�e the necessity of purchasing at least vne additional bus
to serve the project, The estimated additional revenue generated annual�y is sufficien�
to purchase severa7 new buses each year �page 49 - 52).
We strongly recommend that �he Plar�ning Commission review the proposed
mitigatior� measures in detail and make recommendations to the Council �o incorporate
�
the.necessary measures as a part of tt�e �inal approva7 , Our staff specifically
recommends adopt�on of a11 the mitigation strategies that app�y to design and
iandscaping (page 54) and pedestr�an circulation (page 55) . A spec�fic require�ent
for on-si�e emp7oyee parking should be required during winter months (page 57).
A7ternatives outl�ned for large groups during winter season should be
carefully considered.
The Department of Community Development recor�mends approval of the f�nal
draft of the Mark Impact S�atement. A1] areas of concern liave been adequately
addressed,

R�: Manor Vai� Setback Variance Request
The applican� �as requested a se��ack variance on the east side of B�ilding
B of the Manor Vai� Lodge in order to construc� a single s�ory circulation
hal�way addition. The required setback i� 12 feet �0°� inches; the applica�ior�
proposed a setback of 2 fee� 6 ir�ches at the eastern corner of the proposed
addition. Th� area in violation is a triangle wi�h a base of �1 feet and a
h�ight of 24 �Feet. This triangie is shown in red on the enclosed site plan.
The reason stated by the applicant for the variance is to improve the
.
appearance of the finished �roduct by �erm�tted a regu1ar instead of an irregular
shape and allow �For improved circulation within the bu�lding.
The Depart�nent of Cornmuni�y Development has review�d the criteria and
findings provided for in Section 19.600 of t�e Zoning Ordinance and our conciusions
are as follows:
� ) The relationship of the requested varia�ce to other
existing or po�e��ia� uses and s'�ructiari�s in the vicinity.
The sma7ler triang1e on the rear side of the building daes
not interfere w�th exis�ing or �vtential uses in the vic�nity. Directly behind
the rear of the buildir�g is a greenbelt ar�a which extends down to Gore Creek.
The location of the variance is more than 100 feet from the Creek. 7he require�
s�tbac�C from the center o� Gore Creek is 50 fee�,
2) The degree to whicl� relief from the stric� or literal
� interpretation and enforcement o� a specified regulation
is necessary �o achieve compatibility and uniformity af
treatment ar�ong sit�s in the vi:cinity or ta at�ain the
objectives of this ordinance w3�hout grant of special priv�lege.

There are exceptional or ex�raordinary circumstances

that do not apply g�nera�ly to other prop�r�ies in
the same zone,
The area being considered in �he variance request wi11 be

LIONSHEAD 4th Fzling
Rich Tofel and Je�� Se�by have applied for variances which consider
two di��erent proposals . O�e requires a setback variance of 9 ' and
a parking variance for �6 spaces for 4 864 s , ft . of commercial
� q
space; �he second proposal is fox 4, 558 sq, ft . o� commercial space
which requires a setback var�ance o� 9 ' and provides 1? undexg�ound
parking s�aces , �or a recap o� all issues involved in th�s particular
szte and pro�ec�, p�ease see staff inemoranda dated Oc�ober I4, �976 and
January 6, �977. Issu� of setback va�iance will not be discussed as
� the same factors have been previously covered in the memos. The pri-
ma�y issue as we see it is the request �or a parking variance for X7
cars with a reques� �hat it be handled �n a similar way to those granted
�n Commexcial Core I . The applicants have stat�d to �he Council that
they would be willing to escrow su�f�cient money to cover the $3, 5p0
cost of a pa�king space at �he �ime they rece�ved a Building Permit .
CONSiDERATION OF �ACTORS :
l. Th� r�lationship of the xequested varianc� �o other
ex�sting or potential uses and struetures �n �he
vicinity.
There are no ather similar sites in the Lionshead area whxch abut the
existing ma�1 system and also ar� adjacent to the majox bus xoute.
The proposed pxoject forms a necessary comp�et�on �or the west end of
the Lio�shead ma�l system. It is very probabXe that Vail Associates
� s
� . . ��el�y/Tofel

will app�y for a large variance to remode�.: th� Gondola II Buildiz�g if
. � this variance is granted, In our J'anuary 6 memo we feJ.� that we could
not ,�ustify a variance un].ess t�.e applicant couZd demonstrate tk�at
parking could be provided on the site and then removed fflr aesthetic
reasons, which �hey ha.ve been able to do.
2. The degree to which relief f�Qm the strict or la.teral.
anterpre�ation and enfoxcement of a specified regulation
is necessary �o achieve compatibi�.ity ancl uniformity
o� treatment among sites �n tize vicinity or to attain
the objec�tives o� this ordinance wa.thout grant o�
special privi�.ege.
A number o� parking variances have been graza�ed in �,ionshead (Vail
Internationa�, Sunbird, Montaneros, Loclge at Lions�aead} in ox°der ta
allow for more Iandscaping, The mall sys�em would probai�ly work
better if there were not the con�l.zct be�ween cars and pedestrians
introdtzced and alsa a more attrac-�ive laz�dscaped area could be
provided.
Many variances have been g�anted in Commercial Core 1 with the pro-
viszon tnat �he applicant pay far s,�aces in the Pa,rking Struc�ure.
Da�a from recen� parking surveys iridicate that public 3.ots in Lions-
� hear are at capacai.ty and that pravate �ots are less than 50% fu1.�.
which seems to imply that more pt�blic parking and Iess pxivate parkin
are necessary. If we were �o escrow money wh�ch might have 3�een speng
an privat� parking which is not being uses and ins�ead apply it to
s�ructuri.ng addi�ianal parki.ng in th.e public lots, both public and

o� the par��ng variance with a con�tract to �scrow money in lieu af

The appl�can�s, Kathxpn R, , Ru.th E, and Howard M, Benysh,
have appl,ied for a gross resxdentiaX �Ioor area variance of 130 square
�eet and a setback variance of $ �eet on the north side of the
pro�erty �acing U. S. 6 in oxder to enclose an �xista.ng balcany on
the north sa.de of the prope�ty.
CONSIDERATIQN OF FACTORS (SECTION I9 .600)
` � 1 . The re�ationsh�p o� the requestec� variance in other
existing or po�ential uses and s�xuctures in the
vicinity.
"The pxo�aosed addition :�s compatible in siz� and styie with
s�milar addi�ions in �he area. . , " We foresee no adv�rse impacts on
any other bui�dings in the vicini�q. It shou�d be no�ed tha� the
proposed addita.on does not encroach on any other e�isting struc�ures
and there a�s suffici.ent right-of-way on Higk�way 6 for �he snow s�to.r.age
wzth the setback variar�ce.
� 2. The degree �o which �relief from the s�xict or literal
in�erpretation and enforcemen� of a spec��ied regulation
is necessary to achieve compatzbility and uni�ormity
nf trcatment among si�es in tk�e vicinity, or to attain
�he objcctives o� this oxdinance wi�hout grant o�
speczal privilege.
The original intent o� the Bighorn Terrace was for secand �amily
homes , Over the years it ha� made a �ransition to housi:ng �or pe;rmanent
reszdents. It is evid.ent from the floor plan t�at th� units are not
suffa.c�c;nt for �.�ng-term housing. The proposed changes are zntended
to improve the comrnon living area on1.y and not to increase tl�e bed
capacity. Szmiiar additions could be permitted in the nea.ghborhood
prov�.ded that �hey do �ot vio.la�e the setback be�ween bui.lding requirements.
� In addi�ion, the location of the deck on the south s�.de of the s�ructure
improves �ts use�ulness .

The r�quested variazace would have no impact oz� population,

FINDTNGS :
�. That the granting of the variance wi11 not cons���ute
a gran� of special prova��ege inconsistent wi�h the
limitations on the other properties c�assified in

We fee]. that approva� o� �he req�ested vaar.�ances would not be
a grant of special pxivil�ge an �he the praposed addition con�orms
to s�.milar structures i.n the va.cinity. AlI of the buildings in �he
Bighorn Terrac� area were constructed prior to . anne�ation and zoning,
az�d most exterior rr�odifica.�a.ons woul�d req�.ire a similar variance.
2. Tha� the granting of the vari,ance will not be
detrinnenta� to the public hea��th, safety , or welfare,
or materia�.�y injurious �o propertzes or improvements
in the v3ci.nitq .
� The proposed variance would no-t be detrimen�al to any ather
propertzes in the vicinity, due to the distance �rom other existing
builda�.ngs and the fac-� that .tne occupancy xate is z�ot increased .

the fol.lowing reasons ;
(b} There are exception,a�. or extraordinary circumstances

RE; Merv Lapin, Variance farom S�c��on 3, 505 0�
the Zoning Oxdinance �or Lot 7, Vail Vi�lage
Second Filing
The applicant , Merv Lapi.n_ , is requesting a variance from
Sec�a.on 3. 5p5, Density Contro�., in ordear to construct 2 unconnected
' sing�.e-family uni�s on a lot zoned 2-�aenily xesidentia�. The oxdinance
as determined by �he Zoning Adminis�rator and the P�.anning Commission,
speaks directly to the fact that �wo structures must i�e connected on
a duplex zoned lo� . Curren�lq, th�xe exists �wa separate sing�:e
�
fami].y residences. The applicant would �.ike to remove �he "3-Pad"
structuxe in order to bui�.d a single-fami�y residence that would
bc;tter suit his needs �or a pexmanent residence. His basis �or
haxdship is the deep, natural drainage ditch that runs throu.gh his
propexty which is also used by the Town of Vai� ta dump snow.
CONSIDERAT,ION OF FACTORS:
1
. The re�.ationshi of �he r
� equ�sted. varz.ance to other
existing or po�e�tial uses and structures in the
vi.cini�y .
The applicant is across �he street f�om the C�inic, and then suarrounded
on both sides by dupl�x struc�ures w�.�h a sauthern boundary on Goxe
Creek. The pxoposed structure would have no more impact on the
surrounding nei.ghborha�d than what present�y e�3sts ,
2. The degree to which re�a.�f from the strict ox litera�.
interpr��ation and enfoxcem�nt of a specifiecl regulata�on
• is necessary to achieve compatiba.��ty a�ad uniformity
of treatm�nt amox�g sites in the vicinity, or to attain

� Pa�e :.�'wo
� Stric� inte�rpre�ation of the ordi.nance could paroduce some
�'� environmental problems to both the applicant and the T6wn --
chan�ing the natural path of a drainage area cou�d be very hazardous
enviror�menta�l.y. It is �ar this reason we feel �hat granti�g of
this vaxiance wou,ld not consta.tu�e specia2 privil.ege.
3, The effect a� the reques�ed variance on light and
air, distributiono� populat�on ; transportation and
traff�c �acilit�.es, public facilities and utzlities ,
and public sa�ety .
We foresee no adverse effec�s on these factors,
FINDINGS:
1. That the granting o� the variance will not cons�itute
a grant of spec�a� privilege inconsistent wi�h the
limitations on othe� propex�ies in the same dis-�ric-t .
O�he� propex�ies in tlae 2--�amily residential dis�rict i�ave
complied with this regu]�ation, but to aur know�.edge none have been
faced wi.�h �he natura� drainage �xoblem �hat exists here. It should.
also be noted �hat the app�.icant is not completely startir�g aver with
a new site �1an, He proposes to �emove the one 3-pod structur� and
replace xt with a residence approxima�e�.y I. , 500 square feet less �.n
gr�a �hat what exists, as w�ll as to let the o�e single fam�.ly
' � residence located on the eastern side o� �he proper�y remain.
2. That the gxanting of the variance will no� be
detrimenta]� to the pub�.ic he:alth, safety or wel�are
or material.ly injurious to p�operties or �.mprovements
in the vica.nity.
We �aresee no adve�rse effects in granting o� this variance.
3. Tk1at the variance is warranted f_or one or more of
the follow�ng reasans :
(a} The stric� or 1i.teral in�erpretation and enfoxcemen�
of the speci.faed regulati.ons would resttlt in
practical dif�iculty or unnecessary physzcal
hardship .inconsis�ent wai.th the obj ectives o�
this ordinance.
The drainage way �hat runs �hraugh the applican� 's property
is mare ].�.ke a smal�, creek in that water is xuning through it at a1].
times o� the year; this, in our view, constitutes a physical har�lship
that woul.d be unnecessarily expensive and environmentally u,nsa�e to
try and mitigate.
With �he appla�can� ' s vo�.untarq red�ctian �.n grfa, th� �act that
� two separa�e buildings already exist on the property and the physical
hardsha.p created by the draz.nage; tl�e Depar�ment o� Comm�tnity Development

RE; Pierce/Nilsson GRFA Variance
The applican-�s, William Pierce and Johza Nilsson, are requc�sting
a gx�a variance in arder to enclose their respec�ive ba�conies i�
the Sands�on.e 70 comp],ex. The enclosures would add 85 square feet
to each uni,t; bringing the �otal floor area o� each uni� to 1, 053
square ��et ,
Currently, �he Sands�one 70/Westview development is over its
� gr�a allowance by �3, 988 square feet ; therefore, any addi�ions to
�ivi.ng area wou�d require a variance. It shoulc� be noted tha� the
proposed additions together wou.ld add less than . 3% to the GR�'A �ar
the �otal site.
CONSIDERATION OF FACT4RS (SECTxON 19.600)
' 1. The re].ationshzp of the requested variance to othe.�
existing or poten��.al uses and structures in the
vicinity.
The loca�ian of the praposed balcony enclosures face Sandstone
Creek on the western side of �he proper�y and will have minimal. �mpact
on i.�s neighbors at Breakaway West. During the enclosure process ,
the balconies will na� be extended, on.ly made more fuctional }�y the
enclosure. In �act , enclosing �he balcon�.es wou�.d giv� more �orm
and dive�rsificatian to an already unifoarm neighborhaod. We feel
that similar additions should be encouraged to make small units more
livable and a��ractive �or long-term residents.
2. The degree to wh�.ch relief �rom �he strict or li�eral
' � interpre�ation and en�orcement of a specified regula�ion
Zs necessary to achi.eve compat�bility and uniform�ty
of �reatrnen� among si�es in the vicinity, or to attain
�he obj�ctives o:� this oreiinance without grant of
special pxYVilege .
�;
L+
��.� . •
, �
There are 67 un.�ts on 3. 0 acres wa.thin the Sands�one 70/Westview
development . The small living space, 968 square feet per unit, makes
it very incanvenient for permanen� occupancy. The development did
� con�orm to the county regulations wh�n i� was built pxior to annexa�ian,
and due �o the existzng amount of grfa, any ad.ditional floor area
needed to make �he units more livable wou.�d rec�uire a va�riance. We
feel tk�a�t this request is in Zine with �he declaration of purposed
s�a�ed in �ne ardinance, and tha.t the granting a� the variance would
not be a grant o� speca.al pr�vilege as the nt�mber o� �n�.ts placed
on the small sa.te creates a physica�. hardship . It shnuld �e noted
tha� the app].ican�s wish to enlarg;e their c�ining room space rather
than �a add. more "bed space" . One sueh encl.osure a�.read.y e�ists
in that neighborhaod and �t has minimal impact or� the su.rrounding
areas.
3. The e�fec� of the requ,�sted vaxiance on light and
air, distrib�ztion of population, transpoxtation
and txaffic �aci7.�-�ies, public faciliti.es and uti.litieS ,
and pub�a.c safe�y.
We foresee no adverse effects on these �actors .
FxNDINGS:
I . That the granti.ng of the vara.ance w�.�l nat constitute
a grnat of speca.al privilege .inconsistent w�,th the
J.imitat�.ons on o�he� propert�es classa.fied in the
same dis�rict .
'� � See Item 2 undex considcration o� Factors . We �eel that apparoval
o� the requested var�.ance would not be a gx�an� af special privilege.
Al1 of the bttildings in �he Sandstone 70/Westview area were constructed.
pri.or �o annexatian and zaning, �.nd most ex-�erior and in�erior
modifica�i.ons would, in our view, not be c�etximerntal.. The wes�ern
facade of �he 3�uildings would iae ir�proved as well as mak� them more
des�rable for the Zong-term resident.
2. That the gran'ting o� the variance will not be
detrimen�al to �he public health, safety, ax welfa�re
or matexially injura�ous �o properties or improvements
in the vxcini�y.
Thc proposed variance would not be detrime�z�al to any other
prop�rties in the vicinity , and th� adjoining px�operty owners
have vo�ced no objectians to tne requested balcony enc,�osures.
3. That �he variance a.s warranted for ane or more
o� the �ollowxng reasons :

� There is a physical hardship c�°eated by the number of units on

space. The applicants want to use th� space a�forded by the balconies
on a year-round basis �o increase the size o� the.ir liva.ng and dining

RE : Avalanche R�port , Lat I6, Ba.ghorn Subcliv�sion
John R and Margex�y J. Hemby
An avalanche report for the subjec� l.ot prepar�d by Art
Mears in.dicates �ha� a portion o� Lot 16 is free from avalanche
hazard, but could be subject to power blast. The report recommends
s-�ructure p�acemen� on the north side o� the Lot at least 10 me�ers ,
from the baundary o� the run-ou� zone. The report also recommends
. �hat engineering criteria sima.lar to �hat required �.n the Bou7.der
area be used to prevent possible w�nd damage which could aresu��
�rom the stagnation pxessure creat�d by the powder blast.
The re�or� also r�comumends �hat protection be provided
�ar the exi.sting hous�s loca�ed on lo�s ll and 13 of the Bighorn
Subdivision. To quote the report "Assuming a use�ul economic liFe o�
40 years fo�c �his bui.l.ding and an avala.nche probability o� 5 pexcent
a� a,ts location, there is an $7 percen� chance it will be reached
once by an avalanche. �f it is occupied for �0 years by one owner ,
there is a �0 percent chance it wil�. be reached once during �hat owne�ship.
Such risks are unacceptable and it �s recornmended that an avalanche
def:cz�se system be designed��.and built to protect this building. "

At the urging of the Caun�il, the proposal was further reducecl to 64

recommeuded approval based on the �ollowirig facts:

d) thaG the current proposal, with just �our H�iildings,
would have the least visual and aesthetic impact ota the site and
would allow �ox� ma.nima�. dis�rubance i;o ti�e site, as we�l as providing

a considerable itnpact because of the greater road cu�s, dxa.veway

Fred Otto, repxesen�ing Kaa.ser Morcus, exp�laa.ned: that i.n the original
pl.a� o� the resubdiv�.sion, Mr , Morcus neglec�ed to get the signatures
of the individual condominium owners on the plat , By f.ai�.a.ng �o do so ,
the subdivisian pl.at was invalid. Wha�t they propose to do now �.s
cxeat� a resubdivi.sion of Lots 5 & 6 which wi11 e�clude the present
Maxk pxoject but wiJ�1 be in keeping with all of the requireme.nts .af
the Special. Development District . Planning Comrnission asked that
�he s�af� have Larry Rider check on the legal. aspec�s o� this
,� � change to make sure that it will be in. conformity with the requirements
of. the SDD.
Bill Hanlon made a mot3on to approve the resubdivision of Lots 5 & 6
Vail Lionshead Third Fi.ling and a vacation of the Vaa.l Lzonshead Fi�th
Fila.ng subject to the approvaJ. of Larxy Ra.der tlaat �this change wou�d
meet all the specifics of the SDD. Gerry White seconded �the motion.
A unani.mous vote was recorded.
VAIL ATHL�TIC CLUB -- p�dEL�MINARY DISCUSSION OF BUILDING BULK CON�'ROL
VARIANCE
Tt has been noted that th�.s projec� is in n�ed of a building bulk control
variance due to the f act tha� it is approximately 20 ' ove� the allowable.
The applican�, Gordan Pierc� , wanted to get a "straw vo�e" ��om the
Planning Comm.i.ssion ta see what theix �eelin�s wer� i.n relation to
th�s up-coming variance.
Jim Lamont read through �he cxi.tera.a and �indings of the �on�ng
Ordinance to see i.f the Planning Commission members could �o�esee any
di�ficult.ies ari.sing.
It was mentioned tha�t the configureation o� this part�cular si�e was
difficult and that the proposed s�txu.c�ure b�.ended we1� with the
sur�ounding neighboxhood. The Planning Connmissian unanimously �elt
� at this time tha� the va�iance would cause no d�fficulties. (Xt was noted
that if -�he builcling was made to conform �to th� regulatians, that the
swimming pool wou�.d probably have to come out o� the project . }

APOLLO PARK EXPANSZON
� The applicant, CY�uck Ogliby, wanted to get a prel.zminar �eelzn from
Y g
the Planning Commissa.on as to the viabi�.ity of pu�chasing the "Poor
Richards" bui�ding and pJ.acing it on his Apollo Park pxoject . Apo�lo
Paxk at this tzme is a l�egal non�-can�orming deveZopmen� zn relation
to �;the paxking requzremen�s of the HMDF zone distriet . By placing
�his building, approxi�nately 2,400 square feet of additional grfa,
on the s.ite, he would need to supply addit�onai parking spac�s which
he would like to have above ground.
The P,1ann�ng Commi.ssion questioned whetk�ex an altera�ion to a non-
con�orming developmen� would necessitate bringing the �ota1 deve�opment
in�o conformance. Th�y directed �he staf� . �o find az� answer ta this
poa.nt.
Before the Planning Commission could ga�ve any inda.cation to Mr .
Og1.�.by, tn�y wanted to see the site p�an redrawn to �e�lect how the

MEMORANDUM
�
T0: Town Counc��
FROM: Plan.ning Commission
DA'�E : April. 5, 1977
RE : Recommendation on Site 9 �oning
The Planning Comma.ssion wants to reaffirm its recommendation
of appxoval of the down-zaning of Site 9 from HDMF to MDMF (Th�
6Q-unit proposal) , wi�h the exception of Sandy Mills, who naw
supports a lower density zoning on �his site.
Because o� the Council ' s decision to reconsi.der the pro�osal ,
tk�e Planning Commission #'eels that this single issue, i .e. �he
� applicant ' s request for down zoning the propex�ty from HD�F to M➢MF
with a 60-unit maximum, should be clecided on its own merit .
mine considera�ion of rezoning Site 9 �o ei�her 2-family residential
ox resid�ntial cluster has been. tabled at �has time; however, �he
Planning Cotnm�ssion would like the Town Counca.�. to be aware that
they have looked at various zoning and clensit�r al�ernatives during
the months that they reva.ewed the proposal.s �or Site 9 as well as
residential schemes as recent�y as March 23rd.
Th.e Pl.anni.ng; Commission woul�d like to �eiterate the background
for its recommendation of approval for the app�.icant ' s proposal
on Site 9 .
1) This site has been the c�nter of controversy for over
two years �.n regard to i�s HDMF zoning. Over a year ago, the Plannin�
',��� Commission had recommended to Counc�l a review of the site to
consider rezoning a.t to a lower densi�y; howe�ver , �the Council declined
�o consider re�on�.ng on what they judged -�a be a single, isol.ated si�e
Council -�- �pril 5, 1977
R - , (Site 9)
� at that t�me.
2) The pres:ent appXican� came in to voluntarily request
down-zoni�g of the site from HDMF , with a maximum of 246 un�ts, to
MDMF with a maximum o� 90 units . A� the urging of the Counc�l,
the p�oposa� was �urther reduced �0 60 units, wh�ch basically
xeduced the pxoject to LDMF standards . A�ter �ong review and con��deration
o� the project , the P�ann��g Cornmission recommended approval based
on the f ollowing facts:
a) that the Town Council had declined to down�zane
the si�e pxeviously;
�} �hat the current praposed down-zoning was of such
a signi��can� degree to br�ng �he density down to a very com�oxtable
and logical level.
c) that the pxoposal seemed consistent with the
� and Sun Vai� project �o the east , and was a �ogical
school site
buffer zone b�twe�n the Frontage Road an.d the .. surrounding resid�ntial
and agra�culture zor�es.
d) tha� the current proposal, with jus� four buildings ,
would have the leas� visua� and aesthetic impact on the site and
would all.ow for minimal disturbance to the sa.te, as well as providing
a very �arge amount of op�n space. Both the Town Sta�f and �he
applican� ' s archa.tect presented some very preliminary schemes of
lower densi�y zones �vhich th� Planning Commission �elt wottld have
a considerable impact on the si�e because of the excessive road cu�s ,
driveway access , more prz.vacy , more buildings, and less open space.
e) that the applicant has generally responded to the
,° � concerns af the Planning Cornmission and Town Council whieh. has 1.
re.s.uZted in changes�lin his original praposal.

property known as Vai� Va11ey Third Addi�ion, were pr�sent to
make a preliminary presentation to the Planning Comrr►issi.on
for develo�men� of the property . Jay Pulis explained the plan
� as inc�uding 23 Dupl�x units along the 18th �airway of the
golf caurse on 1500 square foot lo�s. '�he land is curren�ly
part nf the Sunburs� P.U.D . He noted. that an avalanche area
has been designatec� by Hydro Triad, Inc. and �s outl.�.ned on the
preliminary plat . Mr. Pulis then commen�ed that the Town wil.l.
have to vaca�e the bicycle path wh�.ch is on his propex�y and
reloca�� it along Sunburst D�ive. Tt�e Town wi.11 have h�.s
coo�aeration in the matter .

wi11 study �he proposal in dep'th and bra.ng a report to the
P1.anning Cotnrnissian concexning the legal status o� the praject
as it relates to �the exist�.ng Sunburst P.U .D.
With regard to Sunburst Drive as it exis�s, Jay Pulis said that
he wi.11. request it be vacated; will then build ano�h�r road and
a cu1.-de-sac to the east on the Katsos property . Bi]�l Hanlon
cammented tha� he feels there will be an outburst to the �roposal
to separate �rom Sunburst and make duplexes, also to suggest
a cul--de-sac be p�aced on public proper�y. Warren Pulis nated
tha� the purpose of the cul-de-sac is �o give access �o the
lake and picnic area only if wan-ted by the Town and VMRD.
Ji.m Lamont remarked that Article 13 , which provides for SD#1,
o� tlz� Zoning Oxdinance w�.�.J. have to be reviewed and amended.
There is also a questi.on concerna.ng access to the land b�tween

by the Town.

be dedicated to the Town of Vail, totaXl�ng approx�mate�y 8% o�
the development .

�amily residences rather than d�plex. �r. Pu1is replied that
it would not be ecanomically feasible to do that ; he no�ed
that his proposed 42 uni�s represen� a dawnzoning �ro� �he
current P.U.D . Sandy Mills ask�d to have the rela��onsh�p
between Sunburst and FDM� elarified at the next hearing.

superimpose �he building on the Apo�lo Park site so that

TIMBER TRUCKS ON SAIVDSTONE ROAD
Dudley Abbott noted his concern regarding the prQposed use of
San.dstone Road �or loggi.r�g trucks. His cancern centered on
tY�e hazard (primarily due to a b�ind corner and the resi.dential
character of the neighborhood) , dust , noise and general nuisance.
Lamont was i.nstructed to contact tk�e USFS and request details from
Ex�nie Nunn since tne upper part of the road is owned by the
Forest Service. He stated �hat he wouXd have the ma��er on the
followi,ng week's council work sessaon agenda since the Planning

MEMORANDUM

T0: Planning Cammiss�an
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: April 28, 3977
R�: Uail Club, Variance from Section 7.506 of t�e
Zoning Ord�nance far parce7s ir� Tract B, Vai�
V�ilage First Filing, Town of llail , Eag�e County
Co7orada (Poor Richards/Short Swing) inc�uding
adjacent Pa rce1s A, B, C, approximately 26,852
sq. ft.
�he applicant, Fitzhug� Scott, is requesting a variance from
Section 7.506, Bu�k Control , in order to construct an ath1etic club, hotel and
office on his praperty. The ordinance requires tha-� thhe..:length of any building
�ace or waTl sha1T be 775 feet and there be an offset of �0 feet in every 70
. feet of wa�� �length. The maximum distance between any two corners a-F a bu�lding
at the same elevat�on sha1T be 225 feet.
CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS:
1 . The reTatianshi� of the requested variance to other existing
or potential uses and structures �n the vicinity.
The proposed structure is adjacent �a �he Moun�ain Haus, across fram �he Transportation
Center and backs up on �he large green be�� to the south. 7'he praposed building wiTl
provide a very goad transition of scale and bU]k between the "oversized" Mountain Haus
and the "in scale" Vorlaufer.
2. T'he degree to wh�ch rei i e� from the stri ct ar � i tera� i nterpretatT on
and enforce�nt of a speci�Fied regu�at�on 3s necessary �o achieve
compatibil�ty and uniformity of tr�atment among sites tn the vic�n7ty,
or �o atta�n the objectives of this ordinance withou� grant of
specia7 privi�ege.
Str�ct interpretation of the or�inance could result in an a1ternative design
that wouTd be higher and w�der. This 3n turn would diminish �he iarge sunny landscapped
frartt yard which is very desirable as a relief from �he deep s�adow created on the north
side af the Nfountain Naus.
� 3, The effect o� the requested variance on light and air, d�stribution
of popu�ation transportation and tra�f�c facilities, pubiic �Fac�lities
and uti�Tties, ar�d pub1ic safe�y.
We foresee no adverse effects on t�ese factors.

1 . That the granting of the var7ance w7T1 not const7tute a grant of
special privi1ege incons�s�ent with the limitations on other
propert�es in �he sa�ne district.
The adjacen� Mountain Haus is approximately the same in length, but w�th
a much larger face d�e to the height. The Vail Club bu�lding �as a considerab�y
smal�er vertical face d�e to the steep shingled roo�. The Iarge vertica3 offsets
�n the roof rr�or� than compensate, visuaily, for the offset and 1ength requirements.
2. That the granting of the variance wi�l not be detrimental to
�he pub1�c health, safety or we�fare or ma�er�al�y injur�ous
to properties or improvem�nts in tlie vicinity.
We foresee no adverse e�F�ects in granting of this varianc�.
3. That t�e variance is warranted for one or more of the following
reasons:
(a) �he s�rict or litera� interpretation and enforc�ment
of th� specified regu7ations wouTd result in prac�ical
di�ficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent
with the objectives of �his ord�nance.
7he 1arge module of the handba3l courts, the indoor swimming paol and under-
. ground parking as weli as the shape of the praperty have created obvio�as dimens�onal
problems; this, in our view, constitutes a physica7 hardship that wou�d be unnecessari�y
expensive to accommodate with other salutions and the aesthetic considera�ions in our
judgment would suffer.
The health club in par�icular wiil greatly suppl�ment and enhance the available
ameni�ies in the Town of Uai7 . The massing and arch�tectural concept will also visually
and functiana�ly i�nprove and "clean up° a very impo rtan� carner o� the Town,; the Department
af Community Development recommends approval of the reques�ed variance.

M�MORANDUM
• T0: Plannzng Comm�ssion
FROM ; Department o� Communi�y Development
DATE : May 5, 1977
RE: Dr. George L, Mizner, Variance �rom Section 3. 505 of
�he Zoning Ordinance for Lot 17, Block 5, Bighorn Sub�
diviszon, 5th Addi�io�
Duane Piper, represen�ing Dr. Miznex , is requesting a variance
�rom �ectxon 3.505, Density Control, in order to con�truct two
sepaxa�e sang�e-family units on a lot zon�d twoR�amily xesidential .
The ordinance, a� de�er�ined by the �onzng Admzn�strator and the
P�anning Comm�ssion, requires that two units be in a single
structure or that �h� units be physically connnected by common
wa11s , The praposed project cnmprises a primary residence and
a garage wath a simall rental unit ab��e, connected by a walk-
. way . The basis �or hardship is �h� �opographical con�iguxataon
o� �he site.
CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS :
1. The relationship of the req�ested variance to other
existzng ar potentia� uses and structures �n the
vzcinity.
The a�plicant is in an area where �her� are a number o� gaxages
separated �rom the dwel�i�g un�t (see p�c�ures) . The pxoposed
structure would have no more impact than a garage separated from
the primary residence. There are several residences cons�ructed
in the golf course area with the same type of configuratian which
wer� built prior to the e�ist�ng ord�nance.
2. The degree to which re�ief from the strict or
li�era� znterpre�ation and enforcemen� of a spec�fied
regulation is n�cessary to acheive compatibility
and un�formity o� treatment among sites in the
vicinity, o� to attain the objectives of t.his
oxdinance without grant of special privilege.
S�ric� interpretation of the ordinance would destroy a s�gnif�cant
• rock outcropping and require cutting of several large trees. The
guidelines for thE Design Review �oard specifica�ly states that
. �
Mizner
Page 2
�ve�y e����� s�ould be m�de �o ������v� �ign��sean� �a�ural �oek
� autcrnppings and preserve the natu�al vegetatzon. We �eeX that
th� possib�e env�ronrnenta� damage which could result from connecting
the �wo un��s is justification for separa�ing these units as
request�d. We thexefoxe �ee� that granting of this variance is
not a gran� o� specia� privilege.
3. The e�fect of t�e re�ues�ed variance on lig�t and
air, distribut�on o� pauplation, transportation and
�raffic facilities, gublic �acilitzes and utiXities,
and publie sa�ety.
We �orese� no adverse effects on these �acto�s. The
sma1� renta� unit and a primary residence ful�ill the
�own goa� af reducing overall population. The �ot cauld
sustain a Iarge m�rror im�ge duplex.
F�i�llINGS :
1. That the granting o� the variance will not constitute
a �rant of spec�al privilege inconsistent wz.th th.e
limitations an other propex�a�es in the same district .
See I�em 2 under Conszdex�ata.on af Factors. The geologic
and topographic consa�deratians dictate placem�nt o� the
pxoposed duplex.
• 2, That the granting o� the vara.ance wi11 not be detri-
menta]. �o �he public health, safety or wel�are
or materially injurious to properties or iznp�oveme�ts
a�n the vzca.n.a.ty.
We foresee no adverse e��ects i.n gxantin.g of this variance.
3. That th� variance is waxxan�ed for one or more of
t�ae fol.low�.ng �easons :
{a) The s�ric� or literal interpre�ation and
en�orcem�nt o� �he specified regulations would
r�sult in practical di�ficulty or unnecessar�
p�ysical. hardshzp i�.eonsistent with the objectives
o� this ardinance.
I� the a�pla.cant did connec� �he two dw�llings, the
applicant would be forced to increas� the hei�h.t a� �he present tinit 1
and tk�e bulk of the project to such a poin� �hat in oxdex to meet
the setback regula�ions the house wou�d probab�y tower over the pres�n�ly
�xist�ng trees which in oux view wou�.d be aesthetically unpleasing. �n
add�.�i.on to that , zt . would be impo�sible to bring �a d�iveway u.p �hrough
the rock lc�dge �o �he garage so that the applicant would tnost �ikely
have to have the garage as a separa�� building down below �he house.
which would resu�t in pxacta.cal di��icu��y ancl would serve n.o purpose
� as the vi.sual impact �vould be the same.

DATE: MAY 12, 1977
RE: PARK�NG VARTANCE - RUCKSACK BUILDTNG
Jeff Se1by� represen�ing -�he Rucksack Bui].ding , has requested
a pax�king vara.ance far two (2} parking spaces zn oxder to allow
the addition of app�oxzrna�el.y 61.0 squa�e feet af comme�cial. space
and 246 squar� f�c:t of gros� �esidential �1.00r a�ea {2 bedrooms and
a bath) to be added to an existing residential dwe�ling unit. The
site area is 4 ,242 square faet which permits 3 ,�61 square feet of
GRFA. The exis�ing builc�ing contains �, 6�0 sc�uare feet of GRF'A; br-
' ! inging tatal proposed GRE'A to 1,84b square feet. E�isting commercial
space consists of 3 ,75I. squar� ��:c�t.
CON$IDEI�TTON OF F�CTORS (SECTION 19.640)
, l. The relationship o� th� requested variance �o o�her
exis�ing or potential usES and structures in the vicinity.
The Rucksack BuilcTing is one of a �era buildings a�� -�he CC1 area
which is not bua.l.t to the: absol.ut� maximu�n al7.owed und�r -�he current
zoning ordi.nance. This bui�ding, .J.ike almost a1I others in
Cornmercial Core l, was constructed before the adoption of zon�.ng
and therefore, space for parking �ras not provided when the lo�s wer�
subdivided and sold.
2. The dega�ee of which re7.ie� �ram �he strict or litaral
interpretation and enfo�cement of a specif i�d re:gulation
is necessary �a achieve compatibil.ity and u�nifarmity o�
tr�a�mexat among sites in the v.icinity, or ta attain the �
objectives of this ardinance wi�hou� grant of special ��

and preservation of the tightly clustered a�xangemen� o� bu�.Zdings
fronting an pedes�ra.an ways and pu.bl.ic greenways, and -�o ensure
con�inua�ion o� the building scale and axchitectuxal qua�ities that
distinguish �he Viilage" .
The praposed addi-�ion to the Rucksack building is in keeping
with thc: purpose outlined in �he zaning oz�dinance as the ��t�ucture
remains in scale �ri�h �he Village, and the architect�ral quality
of the structure is improved by the changes. Forci.n.g prov.ision
af parking in CC1 is in direct opposi�ion td .th� stat�d purpose o�
maintaining a pedestrian area. Re�.aining long term dwelling uni�s
in the cor� area and making thein more livable �or long �e�m residents
is consistent with the goa].s s�ated for Horizontal Zoning.
Approval of �he variance would be in keeping with many athEr
parking requests in the area. The request is similar to the Schober
Building Addif.ion, the Hill Bui�.ding Addition, the S3.i�er Addi�ion
and th� Cov�r�d B�idge Stor� which were al1 variance requests for
parking in orde� to expand ex�s-�ing buildings constructed prior -�o
zoning.
3. The e�fec� o� thc r�quested variance on Iight and air,
' � distr�,butioxz of population, transpo�-�ation and t�affic
facilities, pubiic facilities and uti�.i�ies, and p�xblic
safety.
The proposed e�pansion of �zses should have little effect on
the demand �or parking in the parking structure, ancl the parking
structuze has su£tici�nt capacity �.o provide for any additional
traffic wh�ch might be genexa-�ed by �he expan�ion.
The proposed expansion wi11 n.o� necessitate additional vehicu7.ar
acces� into �h� p�d�strian area as delive�y vehicle� are al,ready
servicing exis�ing uses and the �ncrease in GRT'A is an adclition
to an existing unit.
The ma�s transit sys�ern is capable o� . handlin.g any increased
demand, if any, generated by �he prnposed expansion.
The �ffects of the variance on ad�qua�e light, air, distributian
of popula�ian, public facilities and ut�lities and public safety are
neg3�igible. The addition does make access from Mil.l Creek Cour� more
difficult..as this area has been used for pedestrian access �o Bridge S�.

We do n.ot feel appraval o� the varia.r�ce wouid be a qran�
� � �f special privil.e e as a xoval wou�.d '
� g pP be conszs�ent w�.th previous
parking variance requ�s�s, and other izKe expansions in the Core
have nqt been x�equired to fuxnish aclditional parking.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimenta�
�.o the pub7.ic health, sa��ty, or wel�are, or anaterially
injurious to properties or impro�rements in �he vicinity.
We �eel �hat denial af the variance would be detra.ment.al to the
pub3.ic health, safety. and wel.fare as parking an the si�e would
cr�a�te additional vehicular traffic and could bc� hazardaus �o
pedestrians using �he area. On site parking cou�.d be injurious
to the pedcstri.an area �rom both an aes�hetic an�. safety s�.andpoin�.
3. That the variancc: is warran-�ed for on� o� more of the
followzng reasons:
(a) The stri.ct or literal interpre�a�ion and enforcement
of the speci�ied �egulation woulc� rasult in practical.
difficulty o� unnecessary physical hardship incansistent
with the objectives of this ordinance.
(b) Th� st�ic� or Iiteral interpretatian and enforcement
ofi the sp�cified regula��.on wou�d deprive the applicant
I� o� privileges enjoyed by �he owners of other praper�ies
' � in the same das�rict.
��
I� On the site park�ng in �he CC1 dis��ict would be inc�nsisten�
wi�h �hc� desire to pedestrianize the Core and inconsistent with
application �o othc�r st�uc�uras in the sar�e district.
Th�: Council discussed parking variances and contracts at
'r �he Tuesday wo�k session. Larry Rider explained the legal ramifications
of the exi5�ing con�racts to purchase parking in the Transportation
Center. �'he Council. has stated �ha� they will consider the entire
issue o� parking variances in Com�ne�cial Core ]. at the May Z7
I'� CaunCil. �neeting and wi11 reach a genera�. po�.icy decisiori at tha�

T0: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROJ'�f: DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY F]EVELOPMENT
DATE: MAY 12, 1977
RE: PARK�NG VARIANCE - RUC�SACK BUILDING
Je�� Selby, repre�enting the Rucksack Building , has requested
a parking variance for two (2) parking spaaes in order to allow
�he addi.ti.on, o� approxi�r►atel.y 610 square fee� af comme�cial. space
and 246 square feet o� gross �esidential fl.00� a��a (2 b�drooms and
a ba�h) �o be added �.a an existing residen�.ia1 dwellin.g unit. The
site area is 4 , 202 sq�are fee� which perFnits 3 ,3G1 square fee� of
GR�'A. The exa.sting building cantains 1,60D scx�are feet of GR�'A; br-
',� ! inginc� �o�a1 proposed GRF'A to 1,846 square feet. E�isting commercial
space consists of 3 , 751 square feet.
CONS�DERATION 0�` �'�CTOR5 {SECT�ON 19. 600)
1. The relationship of the req�e��ed variance to other
existing ox potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
The Rucksack Building is one of a f�w buildings in the CC1 area
wha:ch is n:ot bua.�t ta the absol.ute maximum allowed undex the current
zoning arda.nance. This building, �ike almost alI o�hers in
Commercial Core 1, was cons�ruc�ed be�ore the adoption af zoning
and therefare, space for park.i:ng was not provided when -�he lo�s were
subdivided and sold.
2. The d�gre� of wh.ich �elie� from the strict or literal
interpretation and enforcernen� of a specif�ed regulatian
a.s a�ecessary to achieve compa�ibili�y and unifnrmity of
tr�a-�me�:t among sites in th� �r�cinity, or to attain the
ob�ec�ives of this ordin.ance witho�ut grant af sp�cial.

unique character of �he Vai]. Vi1.l.age commercial area, with its

�ronting an pedestrian ways and ptiblic green�aays, and to ensure
continuation of the building sca1� and archit�c�u�a�. qual.i�ies -�hat
dis�inguish �he Village" .
The proposed addition �o -�he Rucksack building is in keeping
with the purpose outlined in the zoning ordinance as the structure
remains in scal.e with the Village, and the archi�ect�ral quality
of the s�Eructure is imprvved by the changes. Farcing provision
o� parking in CC1 is in direct opposition td the stated purpose of
maintaining a pedes�rian area. R�taining long �erm dwelling units
in the co�e ar�a and ma3cing �hem more I.ivable for 1.ong -�erm residents
is consis��n� with th� goals sta�ed for Horizon�al. Z�ning.
Approval of �.he variance would be in keepzng with many oth�:r
parking reques�s in the area. The request is simi�ar to the Schober
Bui�ding Addi�ian, the Hi].1. Building Addition, �he 5lifer Addition
and the Covered Bxidge Store which were al� vara,ance reques�s for
parking in order -�o e�pand existin.� buiiclings cons�tructed pri,ar ta

', � d�st�ibu�ion o� popul.a�ion, �ranspo��ation and traff ic
�acil.ities, public facilities and utilitie�, and pub�.ic
safefi.y.
Tha proposed expan5ian ofi uses should have Zittle effect on
the demand �or parking i.n. the parking struc�uxe, ar�d the parking
s�ruc�ure has sufficient capac�.ty to provide £or any additiona�.
�.raffic which might be generated by the expans�.on.
The p�oposed expansion wi11 no� neaessi�ate addi�iona�. vehicular
access into the pedestrian axea as dela�very v�:ha.c�.es are al.ready
se�vicing e�isting uses and the increase in GRT'A is an addition
to an existing un.it.
The mass transit sys�ern is capabl.e of handlin.g any increased
demand, if any, gen�rat�d by the p�opos�d expansion.
The ,�fects of tha variance on adequa�e light, air, distr�bution
of popul.a-�ion, pub�.ic �acilities and u�.ilities and public sa�e�y are
neg�.igible. The addition does make access from Mill Creek Cour�. more
di�ficult .as this area has been used for peclest�ian dCC�.'S5 �o Bridg� St.
F�NDTNGS :
1. That -�he gran�ing a� the vax�i.ance will no�. canstitute a

2 . That th� granting o� the variance will nat be detrimental
tn �he publ.ic health, sa�ety, or welfare, or ma�e�ially
injurious to properti�s or imp�avements in the v]..cinity.
We feel -�hat denial af �he variance v�auld be detrimen-tal to the
public health, safe�y and wel�are as �arking on �he site would
cr�ate addi�ianal vehicular t�a��ie and could be hazardaus to
pedestrian.s using the area. On si-�e park.ing couZd be injurious
to �he pedES-�rian area from both an aes�hetic and safety s�andpoint.
3 . That the variance is warranted for an.� o� mo�e of the
fallowing �easons:
` (a) The s�rict or li�eral interpreta�tion and enfarcemen�
af the specifa.ed regulation wauld result in practical
difficulty or unneces5ary physical hardship inconsistent

of the sp�ci�ied regulati.on would d�p�ivc thc� applicant

On �he site parking in the CC1 distric-� would be inconsis�en.t
with the desire to pedestrianize the Core and incansi.stent w�ith
applicat�.on to other structures in the same distric�.
The Council d�,scussed parking variances and cantracts at
the Tuesday wark sessaon. Larry Rider exp7.ained �he legal rami�'.ications
of the existing contracts to purchasc� parking in the Transpar�ation
Center. The Council has stated that they wi11. consider the entire
issue of parking variances in Commercial. Coxe l at the May �7
CoUncil mee�ing and wiZl reach a general policy decisian a� �hat

T0: PLANNIiVG COMMISSTON
FROM: DEPARTMENT OF COMIIRUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE : MAY 19, �977
RE; VAIL VILLAG� INN PHASE IZ
The Departm�nt of Community Development lzas reviewecl the
proposed plan,s .�or Phase I� of the Vail Village Inn Special Develop-
men� District , The proposed building is in conformance with alI
regulations o� the Spec�al Development District Zone. Phase II
will contain 7, 918 square feet o� corru�ercial space, 2 , 9�.7 sq. �t ,
o� GRFA i
n three dwel.�i.n
g units, and 1, 60Q sq, ft , of storage which
becomes art of �the
p under round arkin when Pha
g P � se Z�� is bui1� .
There is one problem associated with Phase iI wh�.ch is not
addressed in the SpeczaZ Development District �xdinance, bu� was
discussed at tl�e time approval was gzve� for the SDD. Parking wi�.�
be approxima�ely 50 spaces too few untzl Pliase T�I be�ins . Ou,r
sta�f suggests two conditions �or approval o� Phase II :
� 1 . That the parking be controlled e�.ther with a gate or
by a park�.ng attendant so that the available parking will be uscd
only by gues�s and c�stomers of the comp�.ex. The avaa.lable par1�-
a.ng will also have to accornrnodate construction vehi.cles and matearials ,
and tlais use shouxd be closeiy supervised.
2. In �he event that Phase IIY is not constxucted within a
two yc�ar period from the completion of Phase II , tha� the Planna.ng
Cornmission and Town Council review the park�ng which exis�s (approxi-
mately �.14 spaces) and de�ermine i�' that number is adequate. If
the Planning Commission and Coun.c�l determine that parkzng a.s not
adequate, an alternative plan to provide the required parking be
submi�ted.
3, During this int�xvening time, Vail Viilage Inn should
documen� parking usage in as mucn as practical. This wa�l.l assist
in setti.ng a reasonable parkimg xequiremen� �'or the balance of the
pxaject or document the actual need in the even� that the p�oject
do�s not proce�d,
We would strong�.y recommend the approval of Pha�e IT of the Vaa.l
Vil].age Inn,

�]ear Koss and 13i�.1:
Thank you very much �or sending drawings, s].ides and the black and whits
pha�ographs. I continue �o be impr�ssed w��h the project and the em��gence of
a con�emporary village with a strong histnric f�a��ar. It's ve�y difficu].t to
create something tY:a�. fits well in ei�.he� the 3.7th or 20th century, but a.t
seams to be ha�pening.
My camments are vEry tew £or overall i� fe�ls good: �
� 1. The basE of unit H �eels abrup�. � cannot �e�d we1.]. where �he
lower flaor windows are. Zt seems �ha� this is an importan-�
facade and shou].d be quite operz - �he view in and out can be �
qreat.
' tiaw about pulling �he steps ou� and run them along �he south
�ace? This migh� relieve the abruptness and creats a rzicez
plaza space.
. 2. The buildings al1 seem a l�it bulkie� than �.he origina]. model
(Drawing/Model "I]", dated Apri.�. 6,7, 197b) � azld the c�ntral
� plaza space a bi� tighter.
. You might 1001� a�. tha� space ve�y careful�y, and consi:der
widening it by abau�..�' . Pl.ease check sun angles, ��Y ��
determine where a few key tx�es mic�h� he placed and judge i�s
� sca1.� with a�.l ingredients p�esent. The slight s�ep back of
�.he second story ir► some p].aces does help.

THE SPA -- REQUEST FOR BUILDING BLiLK CONTROL VARIANCES AND SETBACK VARZANCE
Peopl:e present representing The ��a were: L. Deicas , owner; T. Sriner ,
architect ; B. Pendleton, attorney:
�om Sriner outlined the d�tai.ls o� the pro�ect spcci�y�.ng that it would
con�ain 56 condominium units in addit�on to a health c1ub . It was noteol
that the builc�i.ng would be owner occupied approximatEly 3--6 weeks a
year wi.th no rentals .
Dudley Ab�ott �e�t that the proposed fireplaces were not real.istic from
�� the standpoint of �he pressing a3r qua�ity problem. He th�n asked
� about �he d�cisions r�ached by the Growth Mana�m�nt ._comm�ttee in
rel.ation to �he �easibi.3.ity of this project
An environmental impact repoxt was requested of the owner .
The variances �equested are as follows :. 345 �eet cliagonal , the
ordinance allows 225' maximum; and 10 foot setback line, the ordinance
' requires 25' rr3inimurr�.
Ed Drager was concerned with the length o� the building facing The
Mark. Other than tha� he liked �he project. Gerry White would l.�ke
to see �he building set baek moxe tha�a it is, and he �vould prefer nat
to see such a long walJ. . He would like to see some altexnative pxoposals
for �he project , Ron Todd �elt that the design was good and had no
prolo�em wi.th the bul.k control variance or setback vaxiance par�iculax7y
s�.nce �he se�back area �n question is p�destrian. A� thi.s poi�t a
� favorable l�tter was submi�ted �rom Eldon Beck, RHB&A consul.�ant,
critiquing the project . Pam Gar�on liked the approach to the si�e and
project but she wanted to be sure that there w�re good, solid
reasons fo� the vaxiances. It was stat�d that a solid ra�ionale was
needed be�ore the Commission could recommend approval. o� th� builda.ng
wails wi�hout the required offsets on the diagonal.
Tom Briner felt tha� the basis �or hardship was the �arge scale of
The Mark pxoject which does no� allaw for a view corridar ; the
topography; the shape o� the site and its relationship to the adjoining
- � buil�dings . z� was noted that the Planning Commxssion has granted
' J variances on these reasons before .
� .
, �t'
��
I-� was a�.so noted that �f the patio was r�moved, a 3esser se�back vaa^iance
~ wi11 be nceded.
BiTILDING BULK VARIANCE
Ed Drager made a mot�on to approve the 120 foot diagonal; Ron Todd
seconded �he mo�ion based on the s�a,�f inemorandu�n and �ldon Beck' s
recommenda�tion. A unanimous vote was recorded, APPROVED
Ror� Todd made a motion to approve the maximum wall length variance of
55 fee� . subject to the provisians of the staff inemorandum. Gerry Whit�
seconded the ma�ion, A 3/2 vote was recorded. APPROVED
On the questian o� wa�.l lengtla with no of��e�s, Pa,m Garton requested
tha� if the varzance was approved tha� it b� bu�1t according to Eldon
Beck' s recominenda�zons and tha� it be sent to Design Review Board to
solve the paroblem, Ron Tadd made a mota.on wi.th a directive to DRB
�o cons,ider E1don Beck 's recomr�enda�ions �or approval of the var�ance

T0: PLANNING COMM7SSION
FROM: DEPARTMENT OF C�MMUNITY DEVELOPM�NT
RE ; TH� SPA - REQUEST FOR VARIANCE FROM BULK CONTROL STANDARDS
AND �ETBACK REQUTREM�NTS
DATE : May 24, �977
Tom Bxiner, r�;present�.ng Urida, N. V. has applied for seve�ral vari--
ances in oxder to allow the cans�ructa.an of 57 conclominium una.ts in
a single bua.l.ding ra�her than �n severa� s�parate bu.ildings , The
si�e is a portion o� Lo� ]., Block 2, Vail. Lionshead Filing 3 , con-
sisting of 142 , 742 sq. ft . which wou].d a11ow 92 units and a GRFA o�
approximately 5�, 000 sq. �t . The: proposal is at �he maximum GRFA but
wc.11 undex the allowable un�ts , thus laaveing a positive aff�ct upon
the peak population possible.
The requirement in the HDMF zone is a ma�imum of 225 ' di.agonal , a
maximum wall leng�h of 17�' and �a mi.nimum wall o��set of � ' for
each 7 ' of building length for ea.ch wa�1 in exc�ss of ?0 ' in length.
The developer proposes a maximum diagonal of �45' , a maximum wal.].
� Ieng�h of approxitnately 2$0' and three wa�J.s which do not meet the
offset requirements . The Iongest wal.�. with no of�set is 1.60 ' . The
setback requirement zs 25' and th� closest point on the south side
is appraximately �.0' .
CONSIDERATTON OF FACTORS FOR THE VARIANCES (Section 19,600)
1 , The arel.ationship o� th� requested variance to other exis�ing
: ar potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed structuace is c�irectly acxoss the stree� from the
proposed Mark which is a v�ry large struc�ure. The �roject , as
proposed is a.n keeping with the architectural charact�r a� �he Mark
and smaller. buildings �cvould be dwar�ed by tkae impflsing Mark structu.rc�.
We do feel, however, that �h� �ong unbroken wa11s cauld be o�fset
Somewha� to �elieve the flat expanse, especially towaxd the Enzian.
The req,ues�ed setback variance is in kecping w�th the zero setback
included i.n the Maxk Special D�velopmen� �istrict < The proposed
building 1.oca�.ion{ does cre�.te special problerns in th� area wY�ere the
Mark is an the property l�ne and. the proposed Spa is withzn ]�0 ' of the
propert�r 1ine, A v�ry naar�ow space (approximately 45 ' ) is created
that must be considexed. We would recotnmend that this sect�.on of
L,ionshead Circle be p�;destrianized in ord�r to al�eviate the con�la�ct
between the pedestxi.an and auto in. this narrow space. The narrow
' � area could �hen be landscaped xn such a way that a '"�.7�h Street"
cavern is not created.
.

2, The degree �o which re�ie� from the st�°ict .or litera�. interpre-
k :� tation and enforcemen� af a specif�,ed regulation is necessary
ta achieve compa��bility and una.formi�y o� . treattnen� among
sites i.n the vicinity or to a�tain the objectives of this or-
dina�ace withou� grant o� special privilege.
Strict intex�preta�ion of the ordinance wottld reqttire at least
three separa�e, oar perhaps four, structur�s on the si.te which would
greatly dirna.n,ish the amou.nt o� gr�en space and possible recreational
amen�.�ies on the sa.te. The site is also peculia� in �hat �.t is a
difficult one topographica��y. The "ha.�l" is a man-made one which
apparen�ly resul�ed from the construc�a,on. of Highway 6. The proposed
plan recogni�es the exis�i.ng topography and dea].s with in an imagznative
way arather than flat�enxng the enta.re site. A�ain; �he bulk and
mass of the proposed Mark shaul.d be consic�ered �n approving a building
size criteria for this si.�e.
3. The effect o� the requarested vaxiance an light and air, distra-
bution o� population, transpor�ation and txa��ic facixities ,
public facilities, and utilities , and public sa�ety.
We see no advers�: impacts on the above factors . The prapased
us� of the buildin� represents a decrease in populata.on which xs in li.n,e
with p�o�osed growth manage�nent program and has a positive impact on
di.s�ribution of poupla��on in �erms of avernight gu�sts. The pxojec�
is proposed for the use o� the owners only, and is nat proposed for
short-teacm rental. The project is on a major bus line and will have
, � some impact on the bus sys�em, howev.er, much less impact than a short-
term, maximum number of �nits pxoj�ct which could have be�n bui�t on
the site. A major plus a.s that a17. au�o' access to �he site is from
the Frontage road which �nables a major portion of the landscaped
area �o be adjacent to p�destrian access from the West day skiex
parking ].ot . As the pxoject is on the bus 1ine, there should be 7.ittle
i,mpact on traffic and parki.ng requirements in other parts o� Town.
FTNDINGS:
1 , That the gxantin� of tl�e variance will not const.itute a
grant o� special pri.vilege inconsa.sten� wath the li.mitations
on other pxaperties c�.assifi�d in th� same district .
See Items 1 and 2 und:er Consideration of Factars .
2. That the granting o� the var�.ance wil.l not be detrimental to
the public hcalth, sa�e�Gy, or wel�a�e, or mate�°ially an�urious
�o properties or impxovements in tk�e vicinity.
We feel the pxoject would have a very pasitive im��c� on the
� neighborhood, bo�h on the basis af design and landscaping qual.ity,
and would no� be .detrimental to any other propeart�.es i.n �he vicin�.�y .
3. That the variance is warranted �or one or more o� the
�ollowing �easons:
�
a. xhe strict or literal interpre-�ation and en.forcement of
the specifi�d xegula�ions would result in practi.caJ�
dif�i.culty or unnecessary physi.cal harship inconsistent
i �
' • '' The Spa �
' ° ,Page '3
wa.th the objectives of this ordinance.
� The proposed structure has the appearance of several
s�ructu.res rather than one very large one, and is in keeping wi.th
oth�r projects, both co�pleted and proposed, in the neighborhood.
b. There are exceptiona�. or ex�raord�.naxy c�.�cumstances or
condita�ons applicable to the site of the variance that do
not apply generally �o other proper�i�s in the same zone.
See items � and 2 under consideration of factors .
The Depa�tment of Communitp Development would strongly
recom[nend that the Planning Cornmissa,on revi.ew �he bui.lding bulk
control standards to determine �f they are valid. We would point
out tha� only one building since the 1973 adoption of tY�e orc�inance
h.as been built wi.-�hout a variance from these s-tanolards. We would
also point out than sevexal projects either approved or under con-
struction, are in varia�ian frorn these standards . Possib7.y the best
example of a vexy good building that does not meet t.h�se standards
is the Vail Village Inn r.edevelopment .' It inay be in �h� best inte�cests
of good design to remove the bulk cont�^ol standards, and usc� them
merexy as gu�delines in r�viewang individual projects.
The Department of Community Deve�.opment recommends approval of
the requested variances with special attentian to paints raised by
both the s�aff and Eldon Beck in achieving the intent of the ordinance.

��: Vaii Spa Condominium
Dear Diana:
On Thursday, May 19, 1977, I met with Tam Sriner and Leon Diecas in
ir�y office to review �he proposed design o� the Vai7 Spa Condom�nium.
Overall , I found the project to be well conce�ved and in most cases
in conformance with Town design criteria. Nly co�nents are as follows:
1. Tl�e placement of buiTdi�g mass on the site is good and
the three resul�ing apen spaces are we1T located and
�. �n relat�an to adjacent stre�ts and to the Enzian.
The oniy ��gh� relationship is the southeast wa11
line front�ng on Wes� Lionshead Circ�e. The space
between �he proposed project and the proposed ex-
pans�on of the Mark wili be t�ght.
At this 1aca�ion, �he builciing a�pears to extend into
ti�e setback at one corner by on7y twa feet. This is
nat a significant prab�em. We discussed the one ,
apparent option of b�ailding �his wing to the narth e�ge
of the property on top o� the garage, i'his would transfer
bulk from within the site to the outer edge with significant
detrimer�ta7 visuaT effec� on the spac�s as se�n from the
Tnterstate. In r�y op�n�on the p�an proposed is t�e best
of the two optians in terms of community impac�.
2. The height and bulk of the bui�ding �ave � imi�ed impac�
on existing impartant sight lines. It was represented
that the heigh� of the building conforms to ordinance.

3. The �ong wa71s do exc�ed ordinance requirements. However,
because of the building shape and �h� break up of facade
6y s�airways, I recommend that a var�ance by gran�ed. Qne
condi�ian should �e assigned, and that would be �he re-
quirement that 15 to 20 ma�ure con�f�rs (3Q' - 35` in height)
be ciustered �n three or four Toca�ions aTong �he long
walls. Plar�� r�aterials can achieve almost the same effect
as an archi�ectur�al setbac�C. Zk�e candi tion shoul d f�r�her
state tha� these trees are "architectural features" and tha�
�hey must be weT7 ma7ntained and replaced promptly in case
of �oss. {The Ownc:r and Architect agreed to this conditian. )
q�. A req�est was �nade to study �he interior r�g�t ang]e wall
in��rsect�ono(the two tennis court spaces}. A notch or an
angle or some other saiutivn to create shadow and a better
cannection wo�ld alTeviat� a potentia3 v3sual problem.
5. The amaunt of park�ng �s de��cient by 13 spaces. 106 covered
spaces wi�l be provided in comparison with 119 required.
In my opinion, 13 surfac� stalls at the� north s�de of the
bu�lding result in 7oss of critica1 landscape space and �orce
� a poor serv7ce area access dest�n. Approxir�ately six �a
ei�h� surface spaces work fair7y we11 . I suggest that �h�
ap�rovals be worded requ�r�ng confor�iance with the ord�nance
within a pertod of two years after f�ll operation af the
project and then only if a par[c�ng de�Fic�ency is apparent.
6. The service area and �uggage pickup ar�a is not we7� solved
and c{oes not have the quality of the rest o� the project.
Mr. Briner agreed to s�udy this area further.
7. The site plar� and landscape p1an req�ires fur�her design and
must show access �o tenr�is cour�s, �xterior terraces and
kiosks, ear�h form, and a more detailed plartting plan. It
was suggested thdt the west tertnis co�rt be depressed by
approxi�nately four feet and that mounding on �he southwes�
perimeter wauld da much ta lower apparent bui] ding he�ght.
Also, matur� tree planting a7ong West Lionshead CircTe
(east of the pedestrian access to VaiT Spa) would soften
the building rela�ionsh�p with the �lark. It is apparent
that West �.ionshead Circle is very �mpor�ant to the visua7
image of Lionshead and improved landscape south of the Enz�an
Condominiums, in concert with new landscape by the Vaii Spa,
is esser�tial . The Town and th� Enzian shou7d bo�h participate
in environmenta] impravement.

8. Ttte need far a quality bus waiting shel �er and terrace or�
West Lionsh�ad �ircTe was d-iscussed. Mr. Diecas may be
willing to participate in the �evelopr�ent o� s�tc� a facilTty.
9. A winter t�me �ennis b�abble was discussed. A single cour�
bubb1 e on �f�e east courts woul� be be�ter thar� a doubl e
bubble.
Conclus9ons:
I recommend that requested varianees be granted, but including �he
condit�ons described in this letter. There shou�d be further detai7ed
review of the site and landscape p7an with an agre�ment to plar�t
�a�erial s�ze and quar�tities. As any bu-ilding reaches maximur� size
and, �n fact, exceeds the maximum, it becomes ex�remely impor�ant that
extra care be g�ven to proportion, scale, materials , and color. The
ski11 of �he Architect becames very important and �he To�vn shou1d
con��nue to require careful design d3a�ogue. I believe tha� this
�ro,�ect is we11 co�ceived and patent3ally car� be one of the rnos�
attractive in Lionshead (in part because of space for s�rong tree
plantzng) . This apin�on is being �xpressed as a concern for both
the Vail 5pa and for any fu�Cure political actions on the Mark.

Adjacent construction is genera3ly large in scale. The

Using the Colarado Ue t. of liea��h Desi n Re Uiremen�s
and the Colorada Plumbin Code as a guide and assuming fu�l
occupancy of the living units, restaurant and health club
fac�l�ties, we have approxi�ated the follawing sewer and
water demands:
Sewer � 24210 ga7. per day
1�ater - 28500 gal . per day with peak AM ar�d PM
requirements of 18U ga�. per minute
Neith�r the wa�er or sewer loads account for the probab�:�
. use of water-saving water closets.
W�th regard to surface drainage af �arking areas , the prA�ect,
to r�eet parking requir�ments, proposes �6 sUrface parking
spaces. (It is t�e sugges�ion of Eldon Beck that these
spaces be hel d i n abeyance un��1 the fu1:1 req�i reinent i s
justified. } Parking, service apron, and approach driveways
amount to approximate�y 9700 sg. ft. of paved area. We do
no� feel �hat th� area invalved or the amount of use,
particularly the parkin� spaces, justifies special mea�s
for detention of si7t and oil droppin9s•

interested in visiting Vail during the summer season as well
as the winter. Av�rage length of stay may be two-three weeks.
When nat occupied by the owmers, the units wi�l not be rented

SUNBURST PROPOERTY �- PRELIMINARY PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED PLANS �'OR
THE PORTION OWNED BY FDI�I
Blair Ammons and Rob O'�onn�Il were present for thc� discussion.
There is app.roximately 40 acres �.n the to-�a� approved PUD for
�unburst . The Pu�.is ' own a por�ion of it and FDMI owns the bua.lc��ng
and 11 acres o� propoerty contiguous to the build�ng. Present7�y �here
is no forma]� zoning for the open �and , Zt was noted that FDMI has
been worka.ng with the R�creation District and the Pu1is Family to work
out some o� the exist�ng, contxactual problems surrounding the Sunburst
projec�, i . e, sewer line location, road rights-of-way and alignment,
parking, �.andscaping, and bus service, as well as Urarking wi�h the
Town of Vail s�a�f , On the ques�ion of park�.ng and car location,
Dudley Abbott felt tha� the Recreation Distri.ct ought ta take another
look at using the existing underground paxking spaces (�43} loca�ed
' � und�r the exis�ing building which would be more aesthetically pleasing
�than reloca�ing the pa�king above ground as they have reques�ed be done,
The problem of �.oa�ng so arises from �he question o� distance and
conveni.ence for the gol�ers in relation �o the clubhause, greens, e�c .
Pam Gartan felt that i� the Commission �eJ.t strong�y on this paint that
they should send a memorandum to the Recreation District about it becau.se
i.t was not a pxoblem for Planning Co�nmission to woxk out due to the
� or3g�na]. parki.ng con�ract and negotiations between Sunburst and the Rec
District .
�
I Buxlding A, wh�ch presently exists, consists o� 7�. condomimium units
� with 54 lock o�� units in additzon to commercial space which brings th�
'� total bu�lding to approximately 89,76�. square fee� o� net floor area. FDM�
E would l.zke �o have the bua.�:ding zoned a special dc�velopment district with
I the remainder o� the �.and, approxxma�ely 9 .acres , zoned residentia� c7�uster.
They proposed �o have a density of 6 units pear acre which would bring the
densi��y to abt 50-54 units. I� was noted that FMDI does not want to be
i.n�rolved in the development proc�ss , They want to iron aut the pxoblerns ,
get �he Iand zoned, and sell it as a package. If necessary tlaey would be
involved in the sale process of the existing condominiums in Bu�lda�ng A, b,ut
would px�fer to sell it in to�al. When asked about any addit�.onal recreational
amenities being placed on �he project, Blair Ammons commented �hat FDM1
had no plans �to add any more than what a�ready exis�ts.
� .
Page 2
�n the preliminary concept that was outlined above, Ed Drage� �elt
� that the build�ng was a real�ty and was always going to be there and
there was �ot much to be done about a� , He �e�t that Residen�ial
Cluster zoning �or the othex portion of the pxoperty was good.
Dudley Abbott �elt com�ortable with resid�ntzal cluster for the
vacant ground bu� had some cance�ns about how �he proper�y and
respectzve zoning would relate �o the Pu1is ' p��ns �ar their proper�y.
It was noted by staff tha� this proposa� �s identical . to what the
Pulis ' propose for their prop�rty except fa� �he. di��erence in hous�ng
types. �n general Dud�ey Abbot� had no problems with the concept .
Gerry Whi�e �e�t that �he plan was a substant�aZ �own zoning, whicli was
very acceptable, and �hat the SDD zoning �or Building A was a good
sol�tion to the prablem. Ron Todd thought EDMI ' s plan was a good
solution but he wanted it no�ed that some of �h� open space that
was re�uired by �he orig�naX SDD will naw be taken up by deve�opment
as shown by the preliminary ca�cep� . Bill Hanlon sugges�ed tha� wh�n
�he app�xcant appears fo� �inal review of the pro�osal that he draw
up a s�te plan using exzsting houses to show how the duplexe�, might
relate to one another -- whethe� th�y be mirror images or primary
and secondary units. �ay Pulis s.tated tnat on their s.ubdiv�sxon, they
were plannin� to have r�s�rictive covenants o� the allowable size for
the second units but at this �ime did not have any size break�owns.
The Pulis £amily was in agreem�nt wit� FDhiT ' s p�ans.
The app�zcant was directed to wo�k out the various p�ablems surrounding
the project befoxe coming back to the P�anning Co�mission, who found
�he genexal concept of the plan agreeable.

DZSCUSSION OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL REGARD3NG PARKZNG SITUATION
I� was �elt that CCI shou�d be kep� pedestrian and that pa�king should
be d�scouraged. It was the Planning Carnm�sszon ' s feel�ng �ha� paxking
was wrong�y being used as a tool to keep out expansion. Their question
was whether or not �he contracts were valid. Bill Hanlon �elt tha�
� i� we did away wi�h the parking requirement that every porch and pat�a
would be enclosed in order �o give the b�siness ' moxe commercial space
and as he could see it parking was the o�ly hand�e to con�rol this. The
balconies and .patzos are what makes CCI wark in te�ms of commercia�ism.
Page 4
Gar�on agreed but felt that the parking requirement was th.e wrong
way to go about controlling it . She �elt that there was some other
way within the �oning ��dznance ta contral it : Dzana Toughill
� ��� suggested an amendment to the Ordinance that would �equire all
increases or conversions wi�hin CCI , CC2 and the surrounding areas to
be regulated by a conditiona� use pexmx� . T�at way each addition
or conversion cou�d be consid��ed on its own merit . Ron Todd quest�oned
whe�her or not we could cantrol add�tions and conversio�s wi�h
the landscapang requaxement .
Dud�ey Abbott felt the answer to the prablem was �n two pa�ts:
l, create a parking dis�rict that wou�d incl�de CC� & CC2
(both areas should be consadered equal�y) , and the District would
�ave a dol�ar amount for �embership . Each variance tha� has be�n
or will be g�anted wi�X requare money to b� pu� into the D�str�ct .
2 . He felt that the variances that were granted pose a
problem that has no� been addresse�. The �act �hat some of the
contracts ar� not en�orceable make a11 of the variances gxanted
invalid a�d the Council should act accordingly in respect to the
parking district and rnaking some o� the o1d var�ances, which are
inval�d, j�stifiable under the pa�king d�strict . He �elt that most
people would pay up. Ed Dragex fe�t that �andatory deconve�si�n
could be used as a means to make those who wex� na� willing to join
the dis�ric� pay up ox suffer the consequ�nces. Daana Toughill fe�t
that �he question of mandatory deconv�rsion was ane which th�
Counc�l should decide.
� The P�ann�ng Commission asked th� staff to work on the "candi��onal
use zdea" and try to come �p wi�h cons�stent regulatians �hat were
equitable and benefic�a� to the community for CC� , CC2, and the
immediate surround�ng areas .
It was felt the P�anning Commission should pr�sent to the Council
a �ew positive ideas for which th�y couZd accept, modify, or disregard.
D�SCUSSI�N OF COUNTY PLANNING WORKSHOPS
Diana Toughi�l gav� a summary of the planning workshops that were
being held in EagXe.
As there was no �urther business to discuss, �h� meeting was adjourned.

VAIL VALLEY MEDTCAL CENTER -- PRE��MINARY REVIEW OF PROPOSED ADD�TION
Chuck Tubbs , of the VVMC, gave a b�ie� �escxiption o� the various
approvals needed before the addition could take plao.�, �ncluding Sta�e
County, and Town, Th�y need and want �o of�er more servzces to th�
residents af Eagle County, as well as visitoxs, and M�. Tubbs wen� �nto
a d�scription of what is existing at the VVMC and what is proposed in
addition �o the proposed �oca�ion of the new services. He also outlined
the �raposed parking layout and tra�fic patterns. The n�w services , are
for �he mos� part , for the conven��nce o� the out patients and they
will be �Xexible, if the need arises , to expand the hospital bed base.
� D�a�a Tougill noted tha� on �une 30, �977 the VVMC wi�l be coming
before the P�anning Commissian to ask �or a Condi�ional Use Pexmit to
allow a hospital add�tion in a Medium D�nsity zone and �he variances
ne�ded are:
1) Wal� �e��th -� requixed 125' -W proposed �28 '
2) WaI1 offsets �W required � ' per 5 ' -- proposed 128 ' wi�h no o��se�s
3) Wall d�agnol -W 164' �- proposed 300'
* 4) determination of the parking need because the. Zoning Ordinance
does not directly deal wath parking �o� hospitals.
On �he parking requi�ement , Da1e Watson noted that the majorzty o�
hospitals require one parking spac� per hospi�al b�d in addition to one
space per e�p�oyee on e�ch sh�ft . The VVMC proposed to have �5 par�ing
spaces with �he abi�ity to expand into the parking area pxes�n�ly being
�` used in the winter by the skating r�nk i� the need arises .
I�; The pxoposed t�me fra�e �or ca�pletion, as noted by Chuck Tubbs ,
` w��l be hard to determine. They had planned to bei�g this summer, but due
to some unfareseen de�ays they prapose in-house remode�ing in either
�ebruary or Maren and once that is completed they will begin wi�h the
exterior modifications, Once they are "out of the graund" , canstruction
wi�l probably take one year .
` � * It was no�ed tha� a variance will be needed to a11ow uncovered
� parking in a Medium Densi�y Zone.
Pag� 2
CYR�NO' S PARKING VARTANCE
� Ross Davis, representing Cyxanos, at this time did not want to
proceed with �he variance application but wanted a "straw vote" of the
Planning Commissionls �eelings an this application . It was noted that
the applica��on would be tabled until the eminent changes in �he parking
requiremen�s fa� CCI a�e dec�ded �pon.
The applicants would �ike ta add 14 feet to the exis�ing .bar
area and this addition in GRFA would require �wo moxe parking spaces . The
addition consists of approxima�ely 320 square feet of additiona� GRFA.
Basically they are exchanging or trading existing exter�or spac� for
inte�ior space which would be used for wai�ing area and more bar s�ace.

building from the standpoi.nt of parking and that the ��.oposed addition would
not make th� build�ng any �o�e non-con�orming exc�pt �xom a parking aspect .
Dud�ey Abbott expressed concern about the number o� var�ances tha�
this restaurant had been granted as well as asked �or �n the past . BiI�

The Planning Commission did no� want to give any co�nmitm�nt of

On tne avalanche report, a letter from Hydro�Triad dated J�.ne 7, 1977,

On the proposed resubdivis�:on, i� was noted that al� o� the l.ots
axe above 15, 000 square fee� of buildabl� area. The average lo� size
is 17,421 square �eet . The applicants are going to �'en:thus�.asticaliy
consider" protective covenants res�ricting the size al�otrrient for �he
second unit within duplex�es.. They are aware of what has happened
�rom an a�s�hetic standpoint with r�tirror image duplexes : A pedestrian
easement has been gxanted in order �or people to get from the bike path
�nd sma7.]. parking area �o th� picnic axea near the 1.ake on �h� goxf
ourse. The bike path generally follows the �asement and they would
like to vacate it and have �he bikers u.se the existing Sunburs� Drive �or
a short way. It was noted that one veary small por�ion af the bike pa�h,
that the applicants wou�d like to have vacated, has �.ever worked proper�y
and the staff recomtnends tha� it be removed at the developers e�pense.
This seemed to be agreea}�le wzth the deve].opers .
Dudley Abbott fel� uncomfortable with �ne lack of single �aznily
lots and how this proposal will fit with FDrdI ' s pxoposal of RC on �Y�e
remaining por�ion of the Sunburst propearty. Diana Toughil.l noted tha�
gzven �he togopraphy there is a natural break betw�en. the area be�.ng
proposed �or residential clust�r and the area being pxoposed two--family
residential so tha� the projects will not interfer with each othe�. Abbott
felt very strongly tha� the applicants dev�lop a .strict protective
cavenant to discourage large mirror image duplexes. Bi11 Hanlon voiced an
objection to the variance f or two Iots wi.th no �rnntage (Lots 16 & 17 as
shown on the plat ) because he thinks a better so].u�ion would be p�.acemen� o�
a cu1.-de-�sac in order to smooth o�zt �h� txa�fic f�ow, paxka.ng situation,

that th� F�ire Department has not reviewed the plat as ye�t and any approvals
o� the variance wi��. have to be subject to �heir appraval o� �he plan.

RE Elias GRFA Variance (Vai1 �lalley �'�rst Filing
Block 3 , Lo� 12 )
The appl.ican-t , J.R. E�ias , is requesting a GRFA va�yance
to co�vert a garage and a laund�y room into -�wo b�drooms and
a recreational xoom. �'here �s also a new addition af
approxima.te�.y 30 sq. ft . , which is to be a raindow seat for
one of the bedrooms . The conversion a.nd addition would add
approximately 760 sq. ��t . o.� GR�'A �o the unit.
The curr�nt GRFA of the existing duplex is �456 sq. ft. ; the
allowable is 50I2 sq, ft. The present duplex is approx�.mately
1444 sq. f-t. , over what is perrni-�ted. `�he proposec�. add.ition
o� the 760 sq. ft. woul.d resul-� in the GRFA exceeding the
requirement by 2204 sq. f-�.

1. xhe relatzonship o� the reques�ed va�iance �o othex*
existin� or potentia� uses and s�ructures in t.he vicin�ty.
The requested variance would make on�y a mino�
modifi.catiort to th� Exterior a� the e�isting structure,
bu-� would eliminate a covered parking space. This wouZd
incx��as� �the number of cars parked outside the unit which
could have a nega�ive a.r�pact on the area. A3so, pro-�ert�ve
covenants for Vail Valley First Filing require garages.

Due �o �the g�eat exten-t that thi.s variance will exceed
the �RFA requirement, we do f�el -that this wou�d be a
grant of a special �rivilege . The addi-�ional 760 sq. �t .

RE ; Rober� Volitex -- Request �or Setback Var�.ance
Lot 2, B�.ock Z, Gore Cr��k Subdivision
The applic�an� has requested a setback o� 4 �eet from the side
pxoperty 1�nc� in lieu o� the required 13 feet �n order to constrttct
a single car gax�age addatian to the exxst�ng house .
The Department of Community Development has �eviewed the
cri�eri.a and. �i.ndings porvided for in Section 19.600 of the Zaning
Ordinance and our canclusions are as �allows :
� The relationship of the xequested uariance ta othex existing
or potenti.al uses and s�ructures in �hE vici�ity ,
The plans for the proposed s�ructur� would have no advers�
i.mpact on other e�isting or proposed stxuctures in the area. There
are several other lo�s in the Gore Creek Subdivision which are
presently non--conforming in the same vane,
The degree to which re�i.e� from the strict or litera7. intear-
pretation and enforcement of a specified regulati.on is
necessary �o achieve cornpatibility and uniformity a� treatment
among sites in the vicinity or to at�ain the objectives of
this orda.nance wa.thou� grant of special pri�rilege,
Due �a the configuxation o� the lot an:d �he placement o� tk�e
exi.sting house on it , the proposed loca��.on o� the garage is .the
anly viable one. I� is close to the xoad, so that a minir►aal amo�ant
of asphalt will be rec�uired; x� is �ar enaugh away �rom the creek,
� so �hat i� is environmental�.y sa�e; and it daes not infringe upon
the righ�s of other p�opc�rty owners . As stated above, �he�'e �.re
many residences that were const�ucted without regard to setback
� requirements. We fee� �hat the propased lacation o� the gaxage
is in ke�p�ng with the objectxves of the Ordinance in- so are as
compat�biiity and uniformity of �reatment among sites in the vicinity.
The ef�ect of the requested variance on light and air ,
distribution o� population, transportation and traffic fac�l�ties ,
public �aciZities and utilities , and public safety .
We do not �oresee any adverse e��ects upon these �actors.
The proposed garage �ronts on Kel-Gar Lane, There is an eight �oot
right�of-waY fxom the proper�y line to the pavement ; with this in
mind we can �oresee no interference with public sa�e�y o�
�ransportatian �f the setback variance is granted.
Such other factors and criteria as the Commission deems
appl�cable to �he praposed �ariance,
No addit�onal fac�ars seem to be pert�nen� ,
� The Department of Community Deve�opment finds that :
�he strict or ��t�ral interpretation and en�orcement of the
spec�fied rEgulation would result in practical di�ficulty
or unnecessary physical hardship anconsistent with the
objectives of this ordinance .
Due to �he configuration of the 1ot , it wou�d be impnssib�e
for �he app�icant ta construc� a garag� on this site W1th�U� some
variance, either from the e�ase��ent. .or f:rom �the oth�r: prope��y l���s .
We do not �eel that the g��nt of the variance wou�d be a gran� o�

th�re was no justification for the xezoning because �he Cornice
Bui�ding was not contiguous to CC� and the pedestrian area, It was
surrounded by PA and HDMF zon�ng, Tf this request was gran�ed,
the �ss�e of spot zoning would become appa�ent with no logical xeason.

RE; �lias GRFA Variance
Va31 Valley First Fi�.�ng, B�ock ,3, Lot 12
The applican� , J.R. Elias, is requesting a GRFA variance
to conver� a garage and a lau�dry room into a recrea�ional room.
Tl�ere is also a new addit�6n of approximately 30 square feet
which is to be a window seat for one o� the bedrooms. The
conversion and additian wauld add approximately 330 square feet
o� GRFA �o the unit ,
The current GRFA o� the �xa�sting dup�ex �.s 4, 863 square feet ;
the allowable is g, 255 square feet , The present dup].ex is approxiznateJ.y
60$ square feet over what �.s permitted. The proposed addition o�
the 330 square �eet �vould result in the GRFA exceeding the requzrement
� by 938 square feet.
CONSrDERATION OF FACTORS {SECTTON I9,60d)
1 . The relationsha.p of the requested variance to
other exista.ng or potential uses and structures �n �k�e
v�ca.n�ty,
The requested variance wou.ld make only a minor modification
to �he exterior o� the existing structure , It would, however, make
this unit i.nconsistent wi�h ather una.ts in the r�eighbor�ng area bq
allowa.ng a greater amount of GRFA �han �.s perm�ttecl by the Zoning
Ordinance.
2. The degree to which relie� from the strict or l.i�exal
interpreta�ian and enfarc�m�nt o� a specif�.ed regulatian
is necessary to ach�eve compatibility and ttna.formity
of trcatmen� among sites in the vicini.ty, or to a�tai.n
the objectives of this ord�.nance without �xan� of special
privilege.
Due to the ex�ent that this variance will exceed the GR�'A
requireraaen� � we do feel that this wou].d be a gra��t o� special
privi�ege, The additional 330 squarc� feet wauld resul� in the GRFA
exceeding wha� is a1low�d by almos� 20%w
.
�l�as Variance -2- June 23, �977
�� 3, The ef�ect of the requested varianc� on light and air,
� dis�r�but�on of population, �ransportation and traffic
facilities, public f acz��ties and utili�ies��
We �oresee na adverse effects on ��es� �actors.
FINDTNGS :
I. That t�e granting o� the varzance will cons�itute a
grant a� special privi�ege inconsist�nt with the limitations
on other prapert�es classified in �he same distric� .
See Item 2 . , under Consideration o� Factors , There have
been no flther GRFA variances granted in this area,
2. That the granting of the varianee could b� det��mental
to the publxc health� safety , ox welf are or materially
injurious �a properties ar improvemerits in �he vicini�y.
See I�em �. , under Consid�ratia.n af Faetors� Granting o�
th�s variance could se� a negative precedent by al�owing excess�v��y
large houses to be built or a��owing additions on hauses which alr�ady
exceed or are very close �o the GRFA requireme�t �f the Zoning Ordinance.
Many o� �he structures in �he Vail Valley �ubdivision are at or ov�r
�he maximum gr�a and have similar garages. SeveraZ of the units
have two or three car garages , �hac� i� converted, would add
� substan�ial density to the neighborhood.
3 . That the vax�anc� is warranted �or the follow�ng reasons :
(c) the strict or Iiteral interpretat�on and en�orcement
of the sp�cified regulation wou�d not deprive t�e
applicant o� privileges enjoyed by the owners of ather
properties in the same district .
Structures in �he residenta.al neighbornood are general�y in
compliance with the GRk'A requirement of �he Zonin� Ordinance. This
house as it presentxy exists is over this requxrement , We, there�oxe,
feel that a further variance is not warran�ed and would not deprive
the ap�licant o� pxivileges enjoyed by owners of o�her properti.es
in this distarict .
The Departmen� of Community Devel.opment stx�ongly recomm�nds
denial of �he variance sought for the reasons stated above. �r� a1�Q

DATE: June 23, 1977 ,
RE; Ja�es M, Pa�mer Request for Rezoning
o� the Cornice BuiLding �rom KDMF to CCI
The staf� �as reviewed the request fox rezoning �n accdrd wi�h
�he Zon�ng Ordinance and have the foXlowing comments:
The applicant has xeques�e� that �he Cornice Bu��ding be rezoned
��am the �xisting HDMF tQ CCI , The bu�lding consis�s o� seven dwe�ling
units and one real estate off ice.
FACTORS :
R�lati4nship and impact of th� use on . de�e�opmen� objec�ives
• o� the Town.
The purposes �or the HDMF zone d�stric� states "Certain
non-residential uses are permitted as conditiona� uses which relate
�o the nature af Va�� as 'a winter ana summer rec�ea�ion and vaca�ion
communi�y, whe�e permit�ed ar� �ntended to blend harmoniously with
th� residen��al charac�er of the distric� . " We do not �eel that a
�otally commexcial building is harmon�ous with the residential
character o� the area, The Cornzce prov�des af�ordable employee
hous�ng near the core a�ea and remova� of thzs rare type of housxng
un�t does not seem campatib�e with �the Tawn 's desire to keep a balance
of housing (pa�ticularly �ong-��rm employee units) and commercial
space. We feel �hat is is impexative that the comrnercia� area be
lim�ted to the CCI area and not a�lowed to spread into the areas
which are primaxily �esidential �n nature.
Ef�ect o� the proposed rezoning on �ight and air � dist�zbution
o� popu�a�ion, �ransportation �acilitxes , and othe� pub�ic
facilities and publ�c facil�ties needs.
The primary concernis one o� distribut�on o� popuTation. We
believe �hat a �ong��erm residen�s should be encouraged i� the area.
Fur�her , since there axe no parking spaces on the site, there cou�d
be a greater impact on �he �ransportation c�nter , Conversion to
commercial of the approximately 3 , 00Q square feet wou�d require a
parking var�ance of four cars (the di�ference between the xequixemen�
� �or �esidential and cotnm.ercial) ,
' Cornice
' Page 2 � �
Effec� upon traffic, with particular �e��rence to conges�ion,
automotive and pedestr�an sa�ety an� convenience, traf�ic flow
and con�rol, acc�ss , maneuverabzl�ty, and removal o� snow fram
� th� streets and parking areas , �
A commercial space could contr�but� additional tra��ic in an
�� already congested area ��hexe no onWs�te parking is ava��able. We
�eel that cus�omers will doub�e park along �he roadway whxch would
crea�e an unsafe traf�ic condition, and make snow plowing a prob��m,
Effect upon the charactEr of the area in which the pxoposed
use is �o be located; �ncluding the scale and bulk af th�
pxoposed use in re�ation �o suxrounding uses.
We feel �ha� passible us�s would have a negat�ve impac.t an
�he res�dent�aZ charac�er of th� neighbarhood. T�e surraunding
uses (Apol�o Park, Texas Townhauses , Vorlau�ex , Gxey & Whites , Vai�
C�ub) are all pr�marily residential in character. The only
commercial building in the area is the B�u� Caw, a non-confoxm�ng use ,
Such other f ac�ors and crz�er�a as the Commission deems
applicable to t�e proposed �se ,
Appxicant stated a� �he time the condit�onal use permit fo�
�he real estate af�ice was gran�ed that he intended to do a great
deal of landscaping and general �ehabzlitation an the s��e and the
buzlding; to date, substantial landscap�ng has no� been completed.
We fe�Z this is an important site visua�ly and should be given a
• genera� f ace-lif�ing,
The Department of Community Deve�opm�nt makes . the faXlowing
findings :
That the proposed rszoning is not �n accord with the purpos�s
of the zaning ordi�ance, We do no� f�eX that a commercial building
is in keeping with t�e inten� o� the ar��nance nor in accord wi�h
the reszdential character of the neighborhood.
That the pxoposed rezoning would be detr�menta� to the publ�c
heal�h, sa�ety, and we��axe, and wou�d be material�y injurious to
properties or irnprovemen�s in the vici���y.
The probable traffic prob�ems which could .be created by �he
proposed commercia� bui�ding where no on-site parking �s available,
could be de�rimental to �he publ�c safety, and detrimental �o �he
�esidential character of the neighborhaod,
The request is no� in conformance wxth the zoning ord�nance
as the pro�ab�e convexsion to cammerc�al would require a parking
vax�ance �or a minimum o� four cars ,
Requests for rezon�ng have been the subject of many court
decisions zn Colorado and in other sta�es as well � G�neral�y, the
Colorado courts �ave xuled that an applicant mus� prave one of
� two reasons for rezoning, one that the original zoning was a mis-
�ake, or two that thexe has been a subs.tantial change �n the neigh-
borhood, The Department o� Cammunity Developm�nt strongly recommends
Cornic�
Page 3
denia� o� the requested re�on�ng as the ap��icant has shown neithex
an incorrec� axiginal 2oning, o� � signi��cant change �n th� �2�gh�
borhaod, (Moore vs , �he Ci�y o� Bou�der , Rooseve�t vs , C�ty o�
� Englewood, Kizer vs , Beck) , Each o� these cases �s similar to the
rezoning requested b� the Carnice xn that they wexe requests for
rezoning �xam r�sxdential �o conarnercial or �rom lower zone distxicts
to "higher and better uses" . In each case , the caurts found in

CONSIDERATION 0�' FACTORS FOR THE VARxANCES (S�CTION 18 .62 .060)
The proposed additi.on a.s in an MDMF zone with �he Pro�essional
Bu�.lding on one side and the Hiltan Inn on the oth�r , Due to the
hi�h intensity use of these buildings and the already high intensity use
of the m�dica� center, �he proposed addition should create no additz.onal
adverse impacts on thi.s area.
The degree to which relief �acom the stric� ox literal interpre--
tat�.on and �nforcemen� of a specified xeguJ.ation is necessary
to achieve compatibility and uni�orrnity o� treatment among
sa�tes in th� vicinity ox to attain the objectives o� this or.-
dinance without grant of special. p�'ivilege .
The Va�.1 Va11.ey Medical. Center is a unique en�ity in Vail , ,
The reason for the bulk control variance request is to permit
mare effica.ent utilization o� space within the hospital complex.
� We, therefore, do not feel. that these requ�sts would be g�'ants of
spec.i:al pxivilege

pub�ic �acil�ties, and ut�liti�s .' and public sa�e�y .
We see no advexse impacts on the above factors . The proposed
addition should not have any negative impacts on surrounding
property owners or uses.
FINDINGS :
Tha� the grant�ng of the vaxiance w��l not constitut� a grant
of special provil��e inconsistent with the 1�mitations on
othex proper�ies classi�ied in �he same dis�rict �
See Items � and 2 under Conside�ation af Fac�ors ,
That the granting of �he variance will not be detrimental
�o the publ�c health, safetq , or wel�are , or mater�al�y
injurxous to prope�ties or impravements in the v�cinity .
See Ttem 3 under Cons�deration o� Fac�ars ,
That the variance is warranted �ar on� or maxe o� the
fol�owing reasons ;
b} There are except�onax or extraordinaxy circumstances or
. condi�ions appl�cab�e to the site o� the var�ance that
do not app�y generally to othe� propertieS in the same
zone,
See Item 2 under Cons�dexatian o� Factoxs
The Department of Community DeveXopment recommends approval
o� the requested variances to a11ow for the most e�fici�nt operation
o� the new addition to the Vail Val�ey Medical Center,
CONDITIONAL �.SE PERMIT�.(SECTION 18e�8,030(b)

The proposed additio� shou�d have no adverse effects o� �he
items Xisted above .
Eff�et upon tra��ic with particulax xef�rence ta congestion ,
automotive and pedestrian safety and conven�ence; tra��ic
flow and control, acc�ss, ma�euverab���ty , and removal of snow
from the street and parking areas,
Along with the propased add�tion �s a relocation o� �h� main
ent�ance o� the hospital to the west of �he existing building ,
Th� parking �o� on the south side of the existing building (a�ong
j�est Meadow Drive) wil� b� removed, T�is will �urther separate the
cars using the medica� facility �rom nearby resiaences . It will
also a�low for better circula��on �n and around the Medical Center.
���ect upon th� character o� the area in which the proposed
us� is �o be �ocated, , , in relation to surrounding uses:
The two buildYng located adjacen� �o �he Medical Center are
the Professional Building and the Hilton Inn , On the south sade
of the ��edica� Cen�er axe a �ew scattered residences The
� addzt�on to the existing Medical Center s�ould ha�e no signi�icant
e�fect on these uses .
Such o�h�r factors and cr�teria as the Commission deems
app�icable to the proposed use,
No o�her �actors shou�d be cons�dered.
No environmental impact repo�� zs requ�red.
The Department af Community Deve�opment recornmends tha� the
Candit�ona� IIse Permit be approved based an the following findings ,
1 , That the p�oposed location of �he use is in accord with
the purpose� of this ordinance and the purpose�� o� the
district in which the site is �ocated.
2. Tha� �he proposed location of the use and the conditians
under which �� wauld be operated or maintained will not
be detxzmental to �he public health, safety , or welfare .
or materia��y znjuraous to properties or �mprovements

.Tza a MDMF zone, 50% of the xequired paxkin� spaces mus�. be
covexed, The Vai1 Val],ey Medical Center prapased 138 parking
spaces in its new p1an� with none of thea� covered. The actural
number o� parking spae�s required by the �aning ordir�ance is not
specif�ed �or this project, The proposed number of spaces does
conform with na�i.onal standard for this type a� facility ,
CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS (SECTION 18,62 , 060)
The rela�ionship of the x�equested variance ta oth�r
existing or poten.tial uses and s�truc-�ures �n the vicinity ,
The new park�ng lo� is a relocatio of an ex�.sting parking 1ot
and there�ore should create no new adverse i�npacts on surxounding
structures or uses. The removal �f �he parking space alo�g Wes�t
Meadow Drive should have a positive impac�c on residences a.n that
area,
Tk�e degree o� which rc:lie� fram the strict ox litex�al
interpretation and enforcemc:n.t o� a speci�ied regulation
is necessary �o achieve compatibili�ty and uni�oxmity o�
treatment among si.�es in �he v�cinity , or �o attain the
abject�.ves o� this ardinance without gran� of special pr�.v�.lege,
� Since an e�a.sting uncovexed parking lo� is being moved
to another �ocation, w e do no�t feel that it sho�xld be
necessary to cover 50% a� the new lat , The new parking
arrangement wi11 also provicle bet�er access to the si�e,
The e�fec� o� thc requ�sted variance on light and air,
distribu�ion of populat�on��f transpor�atior� and tr�.ffic
faca.xities, public facilities and utilities, and
public safety , .
We see no adverse impact on the above �actors ,

See Item 2 undex Consideration o� Factors

That the var�ance is war�anted �or one or more af the following
xeasons;
(a) The strict or literal interpretatian and enforcement
of the speci�ied regulation would result in practical
d�fficu�ty or unnecessary physical hardship incons�stent
with the objec�ives af this ordinance,
Since the parking lot is being relocated'+' it wou�d �e a haxdship
