to Special Development District No. 2, Northwoods, pursuant to Article 12-9(A), Special Development District, Vail Town Code, to allow for a lobby addition and locker reconfiguration;

I. DESCRIPTION
OF THE REQUEST
This is a proposed major amendment to SDD No. 2, Northwoods, which requires a recommendation by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and an ordinance review
and approval by Town Council under Section 12-9A, Special Development District, Vail Town Code. The applicant is proposing the following improvements to the Pinos Del Norte building
and property, which comply with all zoning and land use requirements:
Proposed Improvements:
Common lobby addition (280 sf)
Reconfiguration and increase of existing outdoor storage
lockers (16 to 20)
Boiler room remodel and addition (14 sf)
Heated pavers and reconfigured sidewalk and patio
Porte cochere (15’ x 19’ roof)
Exterior garage doors, façade and retaining
walls
Landscaping improvements at garage entrance and lobby
Staff has attached a copy of the Staff memorandum to the PEC dated April 13, 2009. Since the PEC April 13, 2009, public
hearing, the applicant has met the PEC recommended condition #1, which requested a minimum 4.5 foot setback for the proposed lockers. Due to that change, please be aware that the attached
PEC memorandum sections and information have changed as follows:
PEC Memorandum Changes:
Zoning and Land Use Section:
Existing/ Approved setback on the west side should read 4.5 feet,
instead of 5 feet, which was clarified in a survey, presented to the PEC.
Proposed setback on the west side should read 4.5 feet, which complies with the existing approved development
plan.
Review Criteria and Findings Section:
Design Criteria A, third (last) paragraph, no longer applies because the proposal now meets all zoning and land use requirements.
Attachments Section:
‘Plans’ attachment from the PEC memo is not included because the plans have been revised to reflect the 4.5 foot setback on the west side.
To reduce confusion,
only the revised proposed plans are attached for the Council’s review.
