1. The site plan shows an ADA connection from the frontage road to the front of the
building. A connection form the hotel on the west side of the property has been added.
This connection will also serve the southerly and westerly parking areas.
2. McDonald's has determined that a two-story building is too great of a liability, because
of the potential for slip and fall during snow months. Therefore, the current site plan still
reflects a single story building.
3. As we have discussed at our previous concept meetings with Mr. Campbell, McDonald's
team has looked at several different site plans for this site. We looked at rotating the
building 180-degrees, however any drive thru stacking in that configuration would
immediately block the main shopping center island. We also looked at rotating the
building 90-degrees, but the lot is not deep enough to allow an adequate layout.
4. A variance for the flowing items is included in this submittal.
a. A variance request to allow 16.6% total landscaping, and less than the 15-feet
minimum width is included in this submittal.
b. A variance to allow the vehicle overhang to count towards the required 19-feet deep
parking stall is included in this submittal.
c. The site meets the required onsite snow storage, so no variance for snow storage is
included.
d. A variance request to allow parking in the front setback is included in this submittal.
5. McDonald's team has included 3-different elevations showing differing types of
architecture which relate to the overall shopping center and the Town of Vail. Our team
has met several times with Mr. Campbell to develop the architectural elevations included
in this submittal. Additionally, it is our understanding that the Design Review Board, is
the governing board for the architectural elevations.
The attached revised PEC Conditional Use Permit submittal addressed your latest comments as
described in this letter. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions during your review.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
STRATEGIC LAND SOLUTIONS, INC.
