Re: Illegal curb cut and retaining wall
Dear Mr. Baskins:
One of the many functions of Code Enforcement is to provide for the enforcement of the
Town of Vail Municipal Codes.
It has come to our attention that the above-described property may be in violation of the
Town of Vail Municipal Codes as follows:
Reported Violation(s): You have erected a new retaining wall in the Town of
Vail right-of-way and without Design Review approval. You have also created a
parking area in the right-of-way without approvals. Section 12-I1-3 (Approval
Required) of the Town Code states, in part, that:
A. Scope: No person shall commence removal of vegetation, site preparation,
building construction or demolition, dumping of material upon a site, sign
erection, exterior alteration or enlargement of an existing structure,
paving,fencing or other improvements of open space within the corporate
limits of the Town unless design approval has been granted as prescribed
in this Chapter. The addition of plant materials to existing landscaping,
gardening and landscape maintenance shall be exempt from this
provision.
We are asking that you submit an application for the retaining walls you have erected and
you may also need a Revocable Right-of-Way Permit from Public Works for the parking
area created or may be asked to remove the additional parking area from the right-of-
way.
Please submit a complete application within 15 calendar days from receipt of this letter.
Failure to do so will result in a summons being issued.
Your prompt attention regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help
assure that Vail continues to be the desirable and pleasant resort community for which we
all strive. Please feel free to call me with any questions, comments or concerns you may
have. My office phone number is 970-477-3417.
Very Truly Yours,
