Re: Lot 5, Block 7, Vail Village Filing 1 zoning analysis
Mr. Segerberg,
This letter is in response to your letter dated April 18, 2013, in which you request
confirmation of your analysis of the existing and remaining development potential fo,
126 Forest Road My analysis consisted of the review of a GRFA analysis provided by
Kurt Segerberg dated April 22, 2013 and a development analysis dated April 18, 2013.
The accuracy of this analysis is dependent on the accuracy of the documents provided
for review.

The two-family primary/secondary district requires the secondary unit to be 40% or less
of the allowable GRFA on a site. It does not require a split of allowable GRFA or site
coverage in a 60/40 ratio. A structure can be designed with the secondary unit less
than 40% of the GRFA and site coverage below 40%of the allowable, It is up to the
owners of a duplex structure to determine how the development potential for GRFA and
site coverage is shared, so long as the GRFA of the secondary unit does not exceed
40% and the site complies overall with GRFA, site coverage, and landscape area. The
analysis prepared by Kurt Segerberg assumed a 60/40 split of both GRFA and site
coverage.
Should the owners of the duplex structure agree upon the apportionment of GRFA and
site coverage in a 60/40 ratio and the plans provided by Kurt Segerberg reflecting
existing conditions on the site are accurate, the analysis reflects the remaining
development potential on the site. It is the sole responsibility of the duplex owners to
understand any application submitted by their joint-property owner and the impacts to
remaining development potential for the site.
Please feel free to contact me should you have further questions. I can be reached by
