The Court will • find, based on the de�inition of the Code--and whether you : like it or not, the Town is stuck with it-=that the area �.n ques•tion, Units 23 and 25, was not habitab�le space. � With that finding in �nind, I think it Chen eomes a3�out � that rhere is a building permiC necessary, and accordingly, I would ealoin the defendant, h�.s agents, contrac�ors, servants, , empinyees, and attorney from proceeding any further with � actual construction until such per�nit is obtained. � The Court recognizes full well �hat a variance may be � requzred. The Court a].so ful�y recognizes that the zoning appliec3 to �his structure .is an absurdity in itself. Ta put a place in which already has Chree-quarter times the alloraable • density doesn't really solve many problems. I would point out, Mr. Esqwith, in the section that you referred to about non-conformi.ng uses, which T never can find--if you will look at 18.64.fl40, entitled Uses, and read the entire paragraph, " I think you wil.1 find it en�ightening: Begin about the fi.fth � line down. "No such non-conforming use shall. be enlarged to occupy a greater site area or bui.3.ding floor area than is occupied on the e�fective date of the ordinance." �hat ' doesn'L say to me residential floar area, it says building floor area, which means to me that we are concerned with . that pazticular section of the ordinance. Density is not tlze number o� rooms o� a structure or the number of bathroorns or the nuinber of people that are going ro li.ve there. What � � � we are concerned wzth is how much of the site area we are � going to be cansuming witli the structure, and this Court waulci ; i i L-hznk it appropriate fnr the defendant in this case Cn apply I � I for_a variance, and assuming that he otEierwise complies w�.th � . -z- . . � � . . „ � �.•�� _ * ,. . • � � the.applicable bui.ldi.ng codes, clectrical c�des, et cetera, that '_ - . _ _ _ _____�_.__.. .___ _ ;; __ _....... ___ __._ __—. ----_ _._ ------ - _--- are.all in effect ttiese days, t�iat-wiTL�e appropriate ta P�ran � � a varianc� uncler a si.tuation such as this . That precise issue, � is not in front o� me at this Cime, and I can' � rul.e on it at � � this time. . � For what it's worth and in the hopes that I won't be � hearing this problem again, I will Cell you that that's the � way I feel about iC. � � So, Mr. Si�on, you will have Co, proceed to get a building � persnit. The Caurt recognizes that there is a lot of regu- � lations in one`s life any more, but I feel tha� building and � zaning is necessary, arid €or what .it' s worth, Mr. Esqwith, in � response to your argument, these things. are probably necessary i in some people's minds so that it doesn't get to be any bigger � � mess, as opposed to getting to be a mess. ;; I will perrnit the withdrawal af the ordinance, the adoptive ordinance, and the buildin�; cade book, since I'm sure that you would have� more use for rhat than_the Court . � has in its file. Exhibit 4, being the zoning map, can be wi.thdrawn, and �xhibit S, being the building condominium map, can be with- drawn. • Mr. Esqwith, do you wish to pursue further injunctive relief in tkte nature of a permanent injuncti.oa, or did �he CourC take care of thak problem? MR. ESQWITH: Xour Horior, i�'s taken care of, once Mr. Simon applies for variance and somehow waives the position � thaC it's a valid non-confo nning us�. Cauld we just say that if he applies for. a variance, we'l1 see how �hat gaes. • _ TI-IE CdURT: He ca�i reserve his �i�ht �o petiCion a�ain, if he wishes, It's obviously a non-conforming use. , MR.

SLOPE There has been cancexx� expressed over �he scarriz�;g and visual prob].err�s wi�h �he development of steep s].ope areas in the valley. Ti�e staf� has research�d various vc�a.ys of �egu�.a�ing hillside devclopment and fee�s the �nllawing mod�.fa.ca�ions to the zona.ng oxdinance wrntld lesse� the aes�hetic and environme��al problem� with �he developrnPnt o� steep slope area,s. The �taf� is r�comnendang two specif�.c changes to accomp�.ish the above abject�ve. First, we �eel it wc�uld be bene��c3.a.1 to eliminate the provisaon fox lvwc:r density zon�s wherein building on any axea af �0% or more slapes is allow�d. Second�y, we �e�l there needs to be some �aix�.y stringent hi�.�side deve�opment policies on hillsides be�ween 25-40% to �.nsure that safe and aes�het�.caT.ly- p�eas3ng developRr�en� o� tk�ese i�r��or�ant and easily dis�tzrbed axeas, The �ollawi.ng �s a brie� overview o� each recamm�endation an.d the reasons beh�.nd it. The hills�de �pacts of a �axg� chiplex buzlt on 40% siopes can be sev�re. Any development i3n areas a� 40% slope can po�ent�.al�y scar hillsi�.es wa.th Iarge cu�s and fills, destray aesthe�ics of hi3lsides and/or cause the triggera,ng of geological k�azards such as slope fail�ure and s�vere erosion. Thus, we feel a],7.ow�.ng development on these slopes canno� be justi�ied in �igizt of these potential prob�ems and �he planning object�_ves of th� T�wn. Howerrer, in no case wi�l a la� wi�h any reasonable deve�oprnent poten�ial be den�,ed a� leas� � one uni�. Th� Staff feels sJ.opes be�tween 25J and 40J often possess cY�aracteristics which war�an� eontrols over their d�v�?lopment. When a deve�o�nt proposa.� . is presented �ox paxceZs con�air�ing at least hal� of the area tvith sla�s over 25%, we would propose two new regulatzons. Fi.rst, there wou�.d be requ�.reci. a series of data and a.nfoxYnat�on com�nly aCCep�ed throughout the country as rr�.tida.�ory backgraund lri�OY'TI'�Lt�.DII �DY' h1�.�.S1C�EG develop- ment. Rec�ui�ed would be an�oxmation on. soiZs and geolo�y, drainage, s�ructux�al �ngi.neera�ng, g�adi.ng (cu�s and fil�s) , view impacts, roac�ray design, revege�ation, retaina.ge and possibly an envixontnen�al impact staterr�e,nt (for laar�er projects}. This la,s� �.s axi expansion o� the restrict�.ans for development an sites in excess of forty p�rcen� slope in loRVer density zone� wha.ch is pxesen��y in the hazard regulatzons (18.69.05Q). Under th�s new scrut�nz;�za.tion -o� hil.lside develaprnent, creative site and building designs min�miz�.ng negative envix�onmental irnpacts would be encou�aged. Seconclly, �he Pl.anning Staff �eels that i.t wo�ald be bene�icial to lower hillside densit�es, thus lessena�g al�. of the impac�s of their developm�nt. We would lake �he PF]C and Council to examine the followi.ng system �or reducing densi�ies on hil�.sides �vi3ich we feel cauld be an e��ective con�rol. Vari,ous tnun�.cipa�.i�ties in Californ�a ha,ve pioneered hi,llside regulatio�as. One o� �he mast cam�on controls a.s a slida.ng sca�.e tvhere density decreases as "averag�" s�ope increases. Average slape o� a pa�rce]. is ca�cula��d by an accepted formula. We would propose to reta�n the rule that area Q,crer �40% is unbui�.dab�e arid eliminate ��a.� area af.f the �op. Z� th� �etnair�der of the parcel passess�s an averag� sl.ope . between 25% �a �a/, the sl.iding seale would kick in. The dens�.ty a�.xawed wou�.d then be detexznined fran the slidang scale. This scal� would not allow for a more thari 50% reduc��on in the n�er of units now pern�.tte�. Thus i� �he avera.ge slop� is at �0%, a 50% reduc�ion would be in effect. Zt shou�d be not�d that the n�.m�bers for such a system are �a�a�'ly �l�xib�.e and can be arrang�d to ref lect �he amount o� d�nsx�y reduc�ion th� Town clesires. The Gross Residential Floar A�rea (C�.FA would be propar�ionally sca�ed dawn so that the a]�Iowed �nits were not excessa:ve�.y buZky.

Va i ] , Co1 orado 81657 w�l,colorado 81657 (3Q31 476•3038 D�ar piana: Regarding the ]andscape plan for Simba Run 1 thought we had addressed that aspect of the project in the mann�r prescribed by the 5D5 ordinance. Our prese�t preliminary landscape plars shows existing and changed contaurs , thus indicating "existi�g la�dscape features to be retained or removed". Our plan further shows tFte location of bicycic path, putdopr paved areas, and a to� lot. 7he plan shows the �xterst of open space as well as proposed ext�nt and location oF tree planting. I be� ieve that our presei�t plans provide the P3annir�g Commissian with a concept and scope of iandscaping to the degree of detail intendec� by the ordinance, which requires that "features" of the landscape plan be designat�d. Because af the always nebulus starus o� projects at this stage of t�e • pro�ect's design and beca�se I thought the planrring commission a�d town staff were Ofl�y LO review the project in concept form I did not retain �xplicit landscape architecture ca�sulta*ion but have described the project to two landscape architects either of whom would be interested in this project. The landscape budget of $250,000 has 6een established with input from a landscape architect ° such a budget wou�d al �ow "�or a pianting scheme that includes "mature" trees dependi�g upon yo�ar definition. It is unreasonable to expec� success if trees beyand 10' - 12' hig#� are transp�anted. Curiously, targer trees, if they surviv� the tra�splanting can not be expected to grow much beyond their size wh�n transplanted! We wauld not suggest planting Crees all nf one size. We believe tf�at in some araas of tF�e si�e, particulariy the south east corner at th� Frontage Raad, we can raise the existing grade 6' - 8' by way of terracing. The effect would be like a berm in that it would block the view fram the �'rontage Rbad. With trees planted on these terraces a barrEer height could be 16` to 20' above the road. We wouid no� want a harsh man macEe form +n this locatio�. That is why l refer to the term "terracing" rather t�an "be rrn". . 7�e palette of tree materiats as discussed with the landscape architects would inc�ude �odge pale pine, balsam poplar, narrow leaf cottonwoods and _ aspen. All of these can be transplanted up to 10' -]2` . We have discussed spruce and certain ornamental trees as I�orway maple and hopa crab as comp� i- ments to �he larger star�ds af pine, cottonwoods and aspen. As nated on the pretiminary plan we woe�ld hope for ornamental plantings adjacent the pool terrace assuming our exposure wilt al �ow it. . • � March 6, 1980 Page 2 . We believe that landscaping can �e most ef�iciently ha�dled in two phases - see the accompaning sketch. �hase I would prnvide screening �rom and of the Frontage Road. Aside from the ptanting o� materiais n�ted above�tihe iandscape budget of approximately $125,OQ0.00 fo� this phase must inctude irrigation, planting of pool roof, and construction of the bicyc3a �ath. We are concerned that substantiai planting beyond what is shown would be endang�red by construction of the north and west buildings. Phase 2 3andscaping wou�d provide scre�ning a]ong the west properCy lin� and Lionsridge loop. There is an exte�sive amaunt of shailnw terracing between the narth and west buildings and I be� ieve that most of �he ornamenta� planting would take place during this phase, with some of these materials going back �n to t�e Phas� 1 area. �inally, if construction would permit, we would like to start snme tree planting i� 5pring of 1g81 possibly designating a portion of the site as a "nursery" from which we could transplanti as building construction progressed. E hope this gives you enough of an outline oR the issue af landscaping. I � you have any questions pleas� don' t hesitate ta ca] 1 me. Yours truly, • Thomas A.

Our response to the conditions is as follows : � �, Transportation and private shuttle service - SD5 requi�ces that w� provide priva�e shu��1� service �a serv� �h� �rans- portatxon �eeds of the praject . SD5 further requires that the developer prov�de a bus stop . Our proposed development plan and environmenta7 zmpact report include both of �k�ese requirements; however, we have been requested by the Town sta�f to delete the bus stop �rorn our project because the the planned atops are at Vai� Run to the east and Valla. Hi to the west . Thexe also seems ta be same d�sa�ree�ne�a� among s�aff inembers whether �o make �he public transportat�on easily accessible to encourage its use, or to discourage use o� the public system in order to favor the private trans�ortation service �rovided }�y �he developer. As we i.ndica�ed a� �he hearing , we are mare than will.�.ng to work w�.�h the Town staff ta arrive a� �he bes� so1u��.on far botk� the �ub�i.c and private transportation systems for the project and the Lions Ridge area. 2. Publ.ic street system -� Kent �ose stated at the pub�ic hearing that the present stre�t system is adequate to handle the t�ra��ic genexated by the p�oposed pxnject and that the current p�oblems �.re created by improper or i�legal . -2- on�s�re�� pa�king which can be con�rolled by signing and � policing. The Planning Comm�ss�on requir2d tha� this statement �e in wxiting and w� have requested that the Pub�ic Works Depax�ment provide the Plannzng Comm�ssion with the requ��ed documentatinn, w�ich they have agreed to do. 3. Amenat�es T SD5 requires that the ameni�ies be ope� to the public on a fee bas�s �ava�ing condominium awn�rs and guests . As we expressed at the mee�ing, L & M wou�d prefer not to have the fac�li�ies open to the pubiic; however we wi�� comply with the requiremen� if the Town feels �t �s necessary . If the facz�i�ies mus� be made available to the public, we wauld propose �o do so on a �imited membership basis with a max�mum o� 200 memberships, 129 of these g�ven to condo- minium owners . O�vners wou�d have pr�ority for reserva�ion o� tennis and racqu�tball courts . Employee hous�ng resi� d�n�s wou�d have access to the amenities at non-peak times. �. The Department o� Community Development outli�ed fo�r cond��ions in �heir 2-20-80 mema wh�ch we have agreed to and have incorporated into our deve�opment p�an : a. � bicycle path wil� be constructed from east �o wes� �hxaugh the property. � b. 18 employee housing uni�s as out�ined �n the memo and z�lustrated on our development plan will be provid�d instead of 10 apartments required by the ordina�ce. c. Develop�x will provide priva�e shut�le servic� for the project as out�xned �n �tem 1 of this letter. d. Th� five parking spaces an the south side of the main entrance will b� removed. 5. Landsca�ing - As we indicated at �he hearing and on the landscape plan, submitted as a part of our development plan, e�tens�ve �andscaping will be provided with each phase. W� have budgeted $250, 000 �or landscaping and will hire a landscape archi�ec� �o design the detazled landscap� plan to be submitted to Design Review Board. �Ve w�1� pravide ma�ure trees which wil� b� incorporated into our final landscape p�an. A separate lettex �rom Briner/Sco�t is a�tached regarding landscaping. Our architects, Br�ner/Scott were also reques�ed �o in- vestigate decreasing the I�eight . The �eszgn as subrnitted � meets the he�ght �imzt outlined in the zoning ordi�ance . . T3- . and we strongly feel that the proposed design results in the best site plan. Zf we were �o reduce the �eight of the pxoject to mee� �he proposed new ordinance, it would result in additional site co�exage and �ess green area. Phase I contains �h� only portion of the project which is E stor�es �n height. Phases TT and 3II contain no portions o� build- ings aver 5 stories in height. Aga�n, we want to assure the Planning and Env�ronmental Comm�ss�on that we are more �han willing to wo�k wxth �he mown to make Simba Run a project that we can a1I be proud of , Si�c e�y, _ D ANA S.

A structure on a �ot which �s viewed from across the vaTiey needs a di�F�erent set of height criteria �Ghan those viewed from c�ose-up. Rdditional considera�ians must be given ta sites wh7ch are access�d from the top of the slope and those that are faTrly �Flat at first, but that become quite steep �owar�s the rear. An ard-inance whieh would address this contradiction of correct cr�teria cou1d estab1ish a restrictive maximum e7evation ar�d � wall he�ght. �he DRB wauZd then be given tf�e power �o allow a height exception for app1ican�s tha� can show t�at their design warran�s an ir�crease. The process would not be a variance which would require that hardship be shown. Rather the building 's designer would be expeeted to show tf�at he has addressed t�e visual impacts of the pro,�ect and tl�at he/she has sough� �o minimize the structure's �nfluence on the viewer. Tn addition, prvspective applicants cou1d be given a s�andard maximum height wh�ch would grea�ly sir�plify �h� exist�ng situation. Ti�e staff reco�mends a maximu� waTl height of 25 feet and maximum elevatior� height of 35 feet. The Design Review Board wouTd be g�ven 1� feet of discre�ian for elevations or 4 5 feet total . 4�a11 heights wou�d be 8 feet or a max�mum of 33 feet with DRB approval . Tn addit-ion, we wi11 discuss some r�iated height prob�ems including: original versus finished grade, uniqu� �ot types, tenting theories and some predicted problems with this ordinance. � � March 25, 1980 �0: 'I'OWN GOXINCI�, FI�4: Department of Co�rarn�ity Development RE: G.R.�'.A.

Box 100 Vail , Colarado �1657 Dear Dick: 7he foilowing are my cornments, follow�ng my review of the praposed Architectural Guidelines (and the title should definitely be revised �o �ndzcate the boundar�es for which th�se guide3i�es are in�ended) . As you'll see, my comments are generally negativee They are not directed toward any individUa1 involved in developing the document. � Ra�her, they refiect my genuin� disdain for the �dea tha� such arbi�rary, prescrip�ive, nonsensical "guidelines" should even exist. � canna� overstate the fact that perscrip�ive documents like �his are f�FVER successful , and are ALWAYS r�gressive in the developmen-� of good design sa1utions. I �'ee1 �ha� �he goa� of maintainirtg the Village character is exce7lent, and I �support it to the fullest. Bu� this me�hod o�F attempting to maintain it could NOT be more i�l -conc�ived. "STREET ENCLOSURE" Critica1 ta remember irr�portanc� of VARI�TY of heights and massing for v�sual interest. Var�ety o�F �exture, pattern, color, are also des�rab1e and cri�ical , in my opinion. I d�sagree with the ] im�ted ra�ia af 4/10 to 6/IO of Right of Way width. The 10th Mountain Division's ideas from Europe should ref��e this restriction. VARIETY and combinations o� "�entative rules" i�7ustrated are appropriate. "Canyon effect" is not inevitable �f variety exists. Occasior�al un-braken masses provide visual counter-pnint and visua1 strength for "broken-up", in�r�:i�cate masses, and are desirable and critical . Some of the r�ices� ou�door spaces in �he vil7age exceed the arbi�rary 6/10 �at�on. Their potentiai exist2nce shou�d not be arbi�rar�ly l�qislated away. � � Mr. Dick Ryan Dir�ctor of Commun�ty Devalopm�nt Apri7 11, 1980 page 2 �he Uillage Core is most defini��7y N4T perceived as a mix o� one and two story �acades, a�d there are also many bui�d7ngs over �hree and four s�ories. Th� basic assump�ions are wrong: �OOFS A11 roafs s�ould NOT be gables. Such restrictions are �nsane. They are arb��rary, create boredom, and ineVita�le ice and danger problems. Indep�nd�n� shed roofs are most definite�y N4T "more contemporary des�gn statements," and they AR� compatib�e wi�h the v�llage character. LOOK AROUND. Look at s�milar European vi1�ages. Hips, sheds, pyramlds, and occasional f7at roofs are �otaT� ap�ropriate �o the village character. 4/12 roof s1ope is NOT most pr�ferred. 4%/12 �s mi�imum for shake roofs, un7ess �he Town wants �o assume responsibili�y for roof leaks. Anything less on�y works for buil�-up roofing_ The discussion of simp1e vs. co�p�ex roof p1anes should be ge�eral • ONLY. STRY OPE� to si�uations which sugqes� something other �han the "s�mple camposit�on" as illustrated. 4/12 slap�ng raofs meet�ng with perpendicular ridge ] 7n�s wa1� resu7t in a valley with a slo�e of less ��an 2/12 and provide guaran�e�d roaf l ea fcs. FACRDES AND WALLS A look around the Village wil� show many more coiors �han white, beige, and grey. Such a restr�ction �s arbitrary, damaging, foolish, and totally i17-conceived. Why limit the wood, siding, and trim -�o "darKer earth tones"? Many subt�e co�ors exist successf�lly in �he Villac�e. FRCADES TRANSPAR�NCY Making upper f�oors "predo�ninan�ly opaque" w�ll arb�trari1y make fot^ very dismal residen�ial and office spaces. "Wi��ows punct�rina walls" � are not appropriat� to wail�� wh�ch are c�ad 7n wood, and wood on � upper floors �s urged in these proposed guidelin�s. Saying all g7ass areas °`sho�7d be framed by waod trim W dark color, wide (3" minimum)" is crazy. What t�� heil is the pain� o� a17 this? Where would we be if every bui1ding in town had 3" dark wood window -trim? . � Mr. Dick Ryan Director of Commun�ty Development Aprzl 11, 1980 pag e 3 Whi7e recess�ng doorways ar�d en�rances may b� one good solution in some s�tuat�ons, to say all doorways and entrances sf�ould be recessed �s totally wrong. Tmagine how difficult it is �o provide an a7r�lock entry vest�bule whert the doorway is already recessed. Think a6out realities of life in Va�l . As with all prescriptive legis�at�on �such as "window (transparency) should compr�se 55% to 70% of the tota7 length of a commercia7 facade") , �he statemen� that "doors should be a� least 30% transparen� (glass) , have dark wood trim . . . . . . . . . . , and have an articulated surface . . . . . . ." is insane, and guaranteed to provide unsuccessful resu1ts. }iow many times must prescriptive legislatior� be unsuccessfu7ljr imposed before peop1 e rea1 i ze i t doesn `� worfc? BAL.GaN T ES To say that "�alconies should con��ast in calor and mass" w�th the building 7s wrong. Tn som� cases they should. In many cases tacked-an, contrasting e1ements a�^e not ap�ropr�a�e. As with nearly every o�her . aspec-� of these proposed guidelines, and with every other prescri�tive design guideTine, there are t�mes when what you say "shauld b�" actually shou1dn't be, and visa versa. There are t3mes when solid and/or l �gh� balconies are appropria�e to the architecture a�d totaTly appropriate to �he Vil7age character� Tn closing, T �eei it is sign�ficant that na where in the text of these g�idelines does the work °'arc�itec�ure," or any derivative tnere of, apP�ar. Tnstead of addressing arcl��ectural matters, arbitrary, pre- scriptive rules are made for such �tems as 3" window tr�m and 30% glass in doars. If s�ch prescri�tive rules had existed 9r� the caveman days, we'd a�l s�il� be l�v�ng zn caves, because anyt�ing else, no matter how va� id., would nat follow the guid�lfnes, and therefore be unacc�ptable. These "g�i'de7ines" do no�hir�g but get in the way of good arc�i��cts doing good archi�ecture. They prohibit arch�tects from taking a g3ven si�ua�ion and providinq the best possib�e resul�s. Would anyone �'avor leg�slat�on prohibit�ng his surgeon from removing the requ�red 50% of a v��al organ, b�cause the "accepted standard" �s o�1y 25%? Or favor leg�siat�on which permits his a�-�orney to use on7y 40% of the available defense options, instead of 100%? Why keep architects from provid�ng the best possible so1utions? � . Mr. Dick Rya� Director of Community Deve�opment April 11, 1980 page 4 I mentioned earTier, prescr�ptive "guidelines" such as these have ALWRYS, ALWAYS praved to be counter-produc�ive. Campaunding the probjem in Vail is �he fact that the people charged with enforcing these "guide- lines," i .e. the Coun�11 and the majority of the Design Review Board, are untra7ned �n archi�ec�ural matters. A11 �hey can do is app�y strict litera� in�erpretations of 3" wi'ndow �r��n "gu�de�lin�s"_ Those areas o�' the Village which are successfu7 are at 1east par�ially so because of good arch�t�c�ure. �!r�� obviousTy that arch��ecture is w��hin the context of the Village character.

All the praposed expansions would be located or� priva�e property and not extend �nto Town of Uail property. The expansion areas proposed by �he app� ican� were shown on the 1Tai� Lionshead Urban Design P1an for several reasons. The two areas along the eas� wall of the 6uild�ng ��t°e shown to first improve �tte visual entrance o� the Va�i Lionshead MaTI and show visitors to this area that it is an ac��ve commereial and pe�estr3an area.

Rager sa�d that t�e base fac�lity wou1d 6e visible but the �ent camp would be �idden �ack in �he �rees. Paula asked how many people wau�d be living an the s�te. Roger said about ten. Paula asked Jim Paxon of the Forest Service what requ�remen�s they i�ave �or the living facilit�es. Jim said they require what the S�ate, Caunty, ar�d lacal require. Dan Corcoran asked how �hey p�an ta get water �o the site. Rager sa�d they are negot�at�ng to tap a spring and if tha� is not possible, they w711 haul the water. Jim Morgan asked -�f there is a need for people iiving there. Roger said �here is a de�ini�e r�eed espec�al�y since this is so ciose to the highway. �f saneone leaves a gate apen etc. , and the horses get ou�, it is vitally imp�rtan� to have someone right there to get them off �he road. � Bill l�ilto aslced who will be responsible for polici�g the area. Roger said that everyone �eeis tl�at �his operation wi1� curtail same of the illegal camps �hat are usual�y here d�ring the summer. Dan Corcoran sa�d tha� that road is ustaa�ly open zn the summer. Will i� remain open. J�m Paxon sa�d it w�ll rema�n open. Jim Paxon �xplained that th�s is just an interim p�an and perm-�t. Roger must subm�� permanent plans to them in July. The interim perm�t will be good �hrough December 31 , T98Q. Dick Ryan asked Roger i�' he �oesn'� think there will be mare than 10-72 cars. Roger said he hopes a 1ot of the hatels wi11 use their vans to br7�g peop1e. They will bring some from �h� �ransportation center and meals wil� be by reserva�ion only, limi�ing �he number af peop�e who can come there. Roger said he p�ans to apply for a long term permi� 7n July, possib1y for �F�ve to ten years. Paula Palmateer said if this operatian is to open June 10, it w�ll have run for a month by the time RQger applies �ar �he �ong term perm7� and perhaps then the 7own could red�scuss it. Jim Paxon said th�y would welcome any commen�s from the Town at the time of applicat�on for the long term permit. 2t would not be issued until fa�l- • probab�y October. Minutes of P�C Meet�ng 4-2�-80 Page Three � Ra� Todd sa�d �hat part of the problem in Min�urn was that �he peaple compTained that the build�ngs were �at k�pt up. He asked what wou]d be done towards the upKeep of the bu�ldings here. Roger sa�d they are o1d log buiZdings and he fee�s they are not an eyesore and he certainly wou7dn'� want any eyesores in Vai� . Roger T7lkeme�er said for the record, he would like everyone to knaw that he is on leave from Vai1 Assaciates far a month so tha� he ca� get this resolved. 8i11 Wi��o said he, too, is co�cerned w�� the number a� cars on the s�te a�d going up t�at road. He feels that this is a very important amen7ty to off�r here during the sUmmer. He f�els the key is to 7aok at i� 7o�g range a�d make sure it is a first class operatian. Dan Corcora� asked what wi31 be visib7e. Roger said �he corra7s, barns a�d �og �ouse would be visible. He feels th�s is necessary in th�s kind of business. A question was asKed abaut the zoning on that iand since it was annexed into the Town. Jim Rub�n explained ��a� the Fores� Service rules s�persede �he Tovm.

Ed Drager aske� if the PEC gives a nod to �his �oday, wil� Roger st�ll come in with a pTan of wha� �s to go up there etc. Roger said the plan s�i11 needs a lot a� work but he w�l� def�nitely bring the plan to the Town. Paula asked i� P�C approves this today, doe5 it have ta come back as an official �tem? Rich Cap1an said it does not. It is only here so that the Town can make recamm�ndations ta the Fores� Serv�ce. Dick Ryan sa�d h� thinks we need �o get up ��ere to see it. Ed Drager asked what Roger's t�me schedule on this is. Roger said �hey have 60-90 days wor�h of wor� to put into 30 days. Roger said he wo�ld like ta ta.ke t�� Board up there Wednesday at noon to see the si�e. He wil� provide sandwiches. Pau�a asked i� �Me Council could ga also. Roger asked if someone on the Staf� would r,all the Council to let them know. The Board each gave their comments on t�is. �im Morgan said he would ��ke to see i� avai�able. He �s concerned with the visual impact and t�e parking. � John P�rkins sa�d he l�kes t�e co�cept bu� has problems with �he obv�aus traffic, the �ent c�ty and the tree removal . Dan Corcoran said this operatian has definitely been a benefit in the past at Dowd Junction. He has prob�ems with the san�tation, the roads, and �Me cars. 5andy said she is very nervous abo�� th3s operat�on a� this loca�ion. �d prager said he suppor�s it, but would l �ke to see all t�e problems correc�ed and make sure it works before the �ong term perm�t is issued. J�m Morgan had ta leave at 3:17. PaU�a said the s�mmer program needs �h�s operation bu� sh� f�e1s that it is up to Roger to prave he can make i� work. Sandy Mi71s asked about the acreage invo�ved. Roger said there are 10-15,000 acres bu� the people who come �here most want one or two haur rides. Pau1a said she assumes �f i� were not sa�e, �he �orest Serv3ce would not grant the permi�.

BACKGROUND Pepi Gramshammer is request�ng that he be aZlowed to construct an add�t�an to en1arge h�s resta�rant �itchen facil�ties in the �astof Gramshammer bui1ding �n the Vil7age Core (CCI ��str�c�) . All expansions in CCI are subject to Condi�7ona1 Use Perm�t revi�w proced�res. Aiso, heca�se the Vail V�llage Urban Design Plan has not been �ota7ly adop�ed as of this appl�ca�ion, several variances mus� alsa be granted accarding to the present regu�ations in ef�ect. This is a s�milar proced�re to the Vail 21 building variances r�ques�s which PEC unanimously approved on April 14, 1980. 2. VARIA�CES N�EDE� � A. Density The bui�ding �s a�lowed ] .6/1 F3oor Area Rat�o (FAR) and currently is at 2.6/1 . Sinc� the building is a�ready over, a variance mus� be grant�d �f the kitchen expansion is a1lowed. B. �a�dscaping CCI requires ��at 20% of �he site be landscaped (grou�d f�oor patios and decks da not coun� as landscaping) . Presently, the only area which qua] i�ies as 1andscaping �s the square-shaped area west of the ex�sting b��ding where �he add9tion is proposed. 7�is area is approximately 1880 square feet, or 13% af �he tota1 s��e area. The addition will be reducing this by 500 square feet and th� resul� will be abou� 10% of �he site 1andscaped. C. S�te Cove_rage Vi1lage Core requirements curren�ly dic�a�� no more ��an 80% o� the s�te can be covered by buildings, decks, and patios. 0� the site i� question , this figure �s 11 ,415 sq. �t. max�mum. There exists i1 ,0�7 square feet vf sit� cvverage. W�th the additional covera�e of the addition , the total site coverage wou1d be 11 ,566 square feet, 151 square fee� over �he max�mum. 3. APPLICABtE n�VELOPMENT FACTORS A. Vehicu�ar Traffic/Off-Street Parkin . Si�ce no restaurant seating is being proposed and no additiona� employees generated, there wi11 be no impacts on these �acto�s. �astof Gramsham�ner Page �'wa � B. Gontral of Delivery, Pick Up and Service Veh�c�es �Va change f rom present conditions are proposed in th�se regards.

The parking iot adjacent to the proposed path is owned jatntly by Pepi Gramshammer, �he Creekside Building an� the Covered gridge Store. The Plannir�g Sta�F� feels that a condi�ion of approval sf�ould be an agre�ment from Pepi stating he'll grant the Tawn a suff�cient eas�mer�� for the path- way and that the prab�em of parke� cars encroaching too �Far onto the creek bank will be m�t�gated. Trash and debris has bu��t up �n the �ower parking lot, also, and this should be c�eaned up. D. Maintenance of character of Area/Environmental Effects No ef-Fects on these factors are �Forseen, 4. CONFORMANC� WITH PRQPOS�D VAI�. VTLLAG� llRBAN DESTGN PLAN * The Plan `s original propasaT was ta a7iow a one story commercia� expans�on ou� to the Children 's �ountain in �he area where this add�tion is prapos�d. Rfter sor�e discussion, �� was concluded that the greenspace there now is one of the few in the Vil7age Core and that it shauld rema�n, along w�th the large tr�ee just to �l�e sou�h of the proposed add�t7on. T�us, the� expans�or� under considerat�or� was generally acceptable as long as it was restricted so as no� �p come out any far�ner tl�an -tf�e large�ree. 5. CRI1'E�IA A�ID FINDINGS AND CONDITIONAL USE P��MI7 A. Ti�e Planning Co�mission shall ma�Ce the fol�owing finds befare granting a Cond7tional Use Permit: � , That the proposed laca�ion of �he use is -�n accord with the purpases of this ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is �ocated. 2. That the propased Tocatior� of the use and the cot��tions �nder wh�ch i� wou�d be apera�ed or ma�nta�ned would not be de�r�mental to the publ �c health, safety, or welfare or mat�riaily ir�jur-�ous to praperties ar �mprovements �n �h� vicin-ity. 3. That the proposed use wou1d comply wzth each of the appi�cable provisions � o�F this ord�nance. Gastof Gramshamner Page Three � B. The Planning Commission shall make the fo1lowing findings befor� granting a variance: i . The s�ric� ar 7iteral in��rpretatian and enforcement af the spec�fied regulation wauld resul� �n practical d�ff�culty or unnecessary physical hardsh�p inconsistent w�th t�e objec��ves a� �his titl�. 2. There are excep��ons or ex�raard�nary c�rcums�ances or cond�tions appl�cable to the s7te of the variance t�at do not app7y generally to ot�er propert�es �n the same zone. 3. The strict or l ��eral �n�erpre�ation and enforcement of the spec�f�ed regulation would deprive the apPlicant of privileges enjoyed by �he owm ers of other praperties in the same dis�rict. 6. R�COMM�N�A7ION The Department of Community Development recorrnnends app�oval of �he Cond�t�onai �se Perm3t and Var�ances requested. The proposed add��on possesses no nega�ive �mpac�s upon the V�ilage Core and is a relat�ve�y innocent kitchen addition. The valuable area of iandscaping a� the wes�ern side of the building � is to remain as is and, thus, not a removal of valuab]e green area �s propased. Cond��ions of approval are as foilows: A. The applican� shouid be r�quired �o participate in Vil�age Core impravemen�s and agr�� not ta remonstrate against the specia7 improvement distr�ct if far�ed, and agr�� to join the district. B, The exis�ing tree �mmediately west of the proposed addition be le�t undisturbed. C.

D�agramr�a�ic in nature, the Gu�d� P7an is �ntended to suggest the nature af �he imp�ove�ents desired. It is based on a number of urban design criteria, �stablished by the workshop �ar�icipants as particu�arly appropriate principles far g�iding change �n Vai7 Village. As such, the Guide Plan is a res�onse �v curr�nt issues and perce7ved problems, and �nten�ed to be a guide for current planning in bot� the public and pr�vate sec�ors. It is anticipated that perceptions of the prob7ems will change over �Tme and tha� adjustments wi1� be made to �he Guide Plan. Those adjus�ments w�11 be considered an an annua7 basis, through a process similar to that which generat�d the Guide P7an, and based on urban design criteria appropriate to Vai1 : Co�npanions to t�e Gu�de PTan are three other documents whic� should be � consu1ted pr�or to ar�y de�ailed planning or design: � The Frameworic Pl an Architectural Gu�delines - ' Goals and Palicies The abovE establ�sh the genera� objec�ives an� ass�mptions under7ying the specific recommendat�ans in the Guide P�an. .

COM��TS AND RECOMMENDATIO� 7he r�s�den�ial spaces shou�d no� be increased above what is prapased. We sti17 have a concern with the siting o� �he driveway on �he eas� because it appears from site inspection �hat a considerdble number of trees wouid have to be �aken out near t�e four ex�sting pines. P�acing �he off�ce space elsewhere could solve the problem by a�lowing the bags to be moved �5 feet �o the west and �he driveway could come to the west of the existing vegetation. As requested by the owner of a new duplex under cons�ruc�ion on the lot to �he east, the impacts of �he parking lot should be minimiz�d ta whatever extend possible. A "bee�ing-up" of the Zandscaping proposed on the east of the par�ing �ot shauld be incorpora�ed. Trees should be Spruce with possibly a berm in �hat area a1so. A sim�lar treatment shou�d be �ooked at far the west s�de of the lot to make sure the existing residence on that side is not adversely affec�ed. 7hus, we recommend approval o� the uses and dEVe]opment standards proposed but fee1 the westward �ovement of t�e driveway shouid be �nvestigated alang w��h a heav�er screening o� the parking area. A f�na1 recornmendatian is that the struc�ure should be residential in appearance.

The app7.icant said he didn' � have any further com►n�n�s other �han that he will work with DRB and whoever else to rnake this a very Iow pro�i3e project.

Jim Rubin said they do have tY�e right to build a ga�rage and could just cut the trees w��hout comma.ng to the PEC. L�d Drager made a motion for approval of the Sid� Setback Variance Request �ar P.A.

DESCR�PTION OF VARIANCE REQEUST�D The ap�licant wishes �a in�rude 7.5 feet �nto the eastern sid� setback on the �o� �o cans�ruct an underground garage for two cars. The variance is xequested due to two mat�re trees to the eas� of �he exist�ng house, which presently has surfac� parki�g off of Forest Ro�di separated from the house.

Gex�ary Whzte rnentioned that he had recez�red twa l��t-�ers af protest on this rnatter, one from �he Pl.a.za Lodge {Mrs. Joanne Hill) and one from Mr. Beebe. Mr. Ruof� said �ha� Mr. Beebe will not have his view �.mpacted bq th3.s expansion and he wishes he would ha�ve contacted him or Jeff Selby s�veral tnonths ago and �hey wauld have been . . able to answer all his questions.

An a��orney for Mr. Beeb� asked som� qu�stions. He �xp�ained �ha� Mr. Beebe has �he th3rd f3oor condo in the Rucksack B�.i2ding. Mr. Beebe seerned �o think this expans�on would block hYS views �rotn his living and dining areas. He said he is a�.sa subs��.tuting for Mr. McDermo�� vcrho represen�s Mrs. Joanne Hi�� who alsa wanted her concerns �ro�ced. She is upse�t with �he phasing o� tha.s project.

Mrs. Hi�.1 met with M�. Ruoff the day of the meeta.ng and a�.so did some measu.ring. Phase I doesn 't ef�ect her and wottld no� mind if it were approved. However, they don '� l.ike �he �dea a� approving bath phases. They feel each shoul.d be handled separately.

J'ack a.lso said �he�e ax�� seve�a� pxob�er�s that he . feels wou�d have to be addressed before a bui�.ding permi.t should be issued an any phase. The probxems are where bui�ding materials will be stored, where the fc�nce will be, and i.f there wi11 be adeq,uate space for fire trucks etc. to get t�irough. Jim Moxgan asked abou� �he reduc�a.an af GRFA. Je�� Se].by said that partion will be retired until Phase IT. Dick Ryan said increasing the GRFA would have tn b� done with the appro�ra�. . o� Phase ZI and if Phase II wer� nat appraved, they wotx�d s�i1� have to come back to PEC �or any changes not approv�d under Phase T. Tt may have to be i.ncorpora�ed back �n�o pk�a�e I , but it wouxd have to come �ack. Sandy Mi1.J.s asked what -the extra space will b� used for between Phase I and Phase �I . J�:�� Se�.by' said it wi�l prabab�.y stay as it is now for storage. I� de�in�tely will not be �or seatin� or kitchen. Gerry Wha.te said it �is his undexs�anc�ing �hat the Board is only laoking at and approving Phase 3 �oday. Dick Ryan said �hat �he view corridors studied in th� V::i:�lage Core Studies were not �rom one bu�.lding to another but more from the street;s e�:c. There is not defined v�ew corridors in Mr. Be�b� 's case. Dick Ryan rea.terated tha� �he Board will only be approv�.ng � Phase I here today.

Ed Drager made a motion to agprove the Condi�iana� Use Perm�� o allow expansion of the the Red Lion Inn Phas� T. Roger T�lkemeier secon�ed �h� mo�ion. There was more discussion. Jack Curtin asked what happens if �he Board approves th�s and the B�zlding DEpartment can 't f�n� a solution to t�e starage p�oblerns etc. Larry said no building pexmit can be issued until a so�ution is foun�. Sandy Mills asked about the extra room b�ing added. She said she feels there �s a v�sual �mpact. Dick Ryan said he tho�ght s�e was re��rring to the cut out £or a .deck an the �ou�h end. Sandy said she f�e�s a vi�w is lost to �he Rucksack Tower. Jeff �elby and �z�l Ruoff said no. Craig Snowdon asked the Board to have the S�a�f s�nd DRB any . concerns they would like DRB �o look at when seeing th�s project. J�m Moxgan asked if Phase I wil� definitely happen in �his buil��ng ' season. �e�f and B�1I sa�d yes. . The vo�e was taken. Everyone but Sandy Mi11s voted �or approvaX. Sandy voted against beca�se she daes not Iike �he change in thE raofline and does not feel the chan�e in th� apartmen� is warranted. She fe�ls there are some view impacts. She does think �he minx- park and �he �n�rance ar� good. A short break was taken before discussion of item #3. 2. ) Conditional Use Permit to a��ow exparision of �he 2ower Teve1 o� the_ MunicipaJ�_ Build�ng towards the sou�th.

He mentioned that �he De;��gn Rev3ew Board had been a.nvited as they had turrzed down �he proposal at �heir meeting on June 4. Gerry Whi�e asked how far away the new Libraxy �.s. D�.ck Ryan sazd it a.s one to two years away. The Town can not . ask for anymore bond i.ssues u.ntil. they have the permanen� financing for �he Parking S�rt�c�ure. Dick said the present Iibrary contains �600 sqnare feet and he feels �tha�t once i� zs vacated, it wi11 be used with or withou.t this addi�ion. PEC Minu�es--June 9, I980 � Page Four Gerry Whi�e asked what �h� schedule is for build�ng. Dick said once they get P�C and DRB approvals , they hope to start by mid July. Craig Snowdon sa�d that Design Review Board had looked at thas as a dxscussion it�m only �ast Wednesday. The �hr�� Board members pr�sent felt �ha� i� is not consistent w�th the main part of the building, �he f�at roof at that locatiQn was not appropr�a�� a�d the addit�on loaks �ike a �ack an. Lew MesKimen said he wanted to emphas�ze �ha� the decision was unanimous. John Perk��s said he feels that the camments were appropriate. I� �s not attract��e as done. Dan said maybe another area cou�d be �ound that would not be so visible. Jzm Morgan suggested that they do a garden 1eve1 addi�ion in that • same area and match the existing roof line and bui�ding, Cra�g said that they had sugges�ed a sha�Iower addition and i� necessary, go two s�aries. He said they would no� be opposed to a garden level there or another location. Roger T�lkemeaer made a suggestion tha� they consider mov�ng the present �ibrary into an addition an the north side of the building un�xx the new library is construc�ed. Jo�n Danovan said he doesn 't like that idea. He d��ini�ely feels they need to get a better p1an. ��m Mo�gan asked if the Board approves this now are they Iocked in to the locatian. He thinks ��eryone agrees �hat more spac� is needed. However, a be��er p�an is def�n�te�y need�d. D�ck Ryan said �f appxoved todaq, they def��i�ely would b� locked in to �his zacation. Dan Corcoran said he �eels this shou�d be tabled �or further study. Sandy MxX�s asked i� �he r�ason t�ey don 't want �a do the two stories is the cos�. Dick Rpan said �t as the cost and the fact that thep rea2ly can 't . justi�y 2500 square feet. . PEC Minu�es--June 9, �9$0 Page Fxve • Gerry Whx�e saxd �ha� �vhen this build�ng was bu�lt original�y, i� was no� bui�� wi�h expansion z� m�nd. It �s a prominant location and was bui�� wi�h grea� study and concern. He feels any addit�o� should show that sam� s��dy and concern. Dan Corco�an sa�d he doesn 't think the gar�en �eve1 �dea is feasible because of utility taps being �h�r�. Jim Morgan made a mo��on to table this for futher study un��1 J�ne 2�, i980 at which time a more fina� and adequate plan could be prese��d. Sandy Mil�s said she just doesn 't think it laoks good. It lpoks like someone decided they needed maxe room and drew up a li��e �ack on addition. Roger Tilkemeier second�d th� motian.

Ft. under the maximum al�owab1e of 4624 Sq. �t. CRI�ERIA AND FINDINGS Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Sec�ion �8.62.060 of the Munieipal Code, the Departme�t af Commu�ity Development recommends ap�roval of the requested Variance based upon the follawing factors: Considera�ion of Factors • The re�ationshi of �he re uested variance ta other existin or otentiai uses and structures in the vicinity_. Existing dup1exes on each s7de of Lot 31 v�olate side setback requirements, to the Eas� due to a variance granted �or avoidance af avalanch hazard (6' variartce} and to the West because the bui1ding was b�ilt under Caunty regulations af 10' side s�tbacic. The �ot contains ar� interm3ttent stream wit� dense, �nature aspens lining �ts hanks. The stream approx�ma�e�y besects the �ot ar�d should def�nitely be preserved as is. An additional naturai feature of the lot is a subs�antia� grove of your�g, hea�thy aspens on the eastern, or front por�ion of the 10�. 5ome of the r�ore mat�are aspens are diseased, whic� ma��s the preservation of �he young aspens more significa�t.
