Per Section

Response to Criteria
Prepared by: Lynn Fritzlen
Description of Variance Requested
The applicant is seeking approval for 137 GRFA infill area located
below an existing deck. The additional GRFA will be allowed by a 250sf addition. The proposed (and existing) GRFA will encroach into the side setbacks.
Precedence
The requested variance
is similar to other variances that have been granted in the Texas Townhomes (Unit 1A, 1B, 2A 4A 4B and 6B) and therefore is not a grant of special privilege.
Hardship
The Texas Townhomes
were constructed prior to the adoption of current applicable zoning standards and were rendered non-conforming from the inception of the Town of Vail Zoning ordinance.
Effect on light
and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, etc.
The proposed variance will have no negative impacts on these items.
