HomeMy WebLinkAbout062509 meeting agendaJune 25, 2009: Arosa Duplex Meeting Outline
Objective:
Brainstorm site design options that eliminate the need for a setback variance, are cost effective and meet all other Town
requirements.
Background:
The Town of Vail Staff has reviewed the PEC application for the proposed new two-family residence (2 employee housing units) located at 2657 Arosa Drive,
Vail (PEC09-0021). This proposal is tentatively scheduled for review by the PEC at its July 13, 2009 public hearing. The following is a summary of the comments from the Staff review:
Topics:
Does
adequate hardship exist to recommend approval of the proposed rear setback variance from 15 feet to ~11-12 feet on the south side?
Proposed pipeline/ drainage:
Existing flow line is
not within the existing easement.
If a pipeline is constructed, it will require a dedicated easement, 15 feet in width (pipeline center).
No building can encroach on said easement.
Driveways may encroach on said easement.
Wetland: Plan needs to be updated? Process? Effect on Variance?
Utilities:
ERWSD: 2 separate lines for 2 meters – tap fee on 2nd unit, 1st
unit grandfathered in.
Xcel: North elevation is location of gas meters (must be 3 feet from opening door/ windows and vents. Must be under an eave/ protected from snow. PW pavement
moratorium (Arosa resurfaced in 2006 – 5 year moratorium). Kit email: “It appears that there is a gas stub into the property. Remarks on the service card state that the crew cut off
29' of a 63' service lateral. It also states that the "cut-off is at the bottom of a bank". It is a 3/4" steel service. We will couple plastic pipe with the steel pipe and run to
the new location. If the lot is not subdivided, there will be one service lateral with a 2 meter header. A plumber would have to pipe over to the opposite half of the duplex to serve
that side.”
Re-plat:
Required for pipeline easement.
Start process now?
How to plat? Lots 1&2 or Units A&B with common parcel C? (If 2 separate lots, gas/ water lines cannot cross property
lines without easements)
Building Department: proposed building must be a minimum of 3 feet from property lines
Fire Department: No sprinkler required. Comment that the more room
they have on the south side, the better.
Proposed driveway: Lots of pavement . . Could we reduce?
If the setback variance is pursued, the site plan shall include the proposed fire places,
which are illustrated on the floor plans, in order to determine exact building encroachment into the setback.
