Tr' Jack Snow, from RKD Architects, was available for questions.
Dick Cleveland noted that this was not a grant of special privilege and a physical hardship
existed due to the drainage.
Rollie Kjesbo asked for clarification of the GRFA calculalions and the amount of addition being
constructed. He noted his concerns about a poor architectural design justifying a sile coverage
variance.
Bill Pierce also did not think that poor architectural design comprised justification of a variance.
Ann Gunion noted that the existing structure creates a praclical difficulty, which, as noted in the
Town Code, justifies granting a variance.
Chas Bernhardt added to Ann Gunion's comments that the existing area is already impervious.
Doug Cahill asked the applicant to further explain the location of the proposed addilions and
noted that some exisling site coverage could be removed and the request today, lessened.
4. A request for a final review of a major exterior alleration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7, Malor

Applicant: Libn's Square Lodge North Condominium Association, represented by Viele
Development
Planner: BillGibson
ACTION: Tabled to May 8, 2(X)o
MOTION: Jewitt SECOND: Cleveland VOTE:7-0-0
Bill Gibson presented the projecl according to lhe memorandum.
David Viele, the applicant, inlroduced the project according to the design boards erected in the
Chip Melick, the architect, described the story boards for the proposal. He included the proposal
to add one Employee Housing Unit (EHU) within the northeast lower expansion.
David Viele added that many assels would resull form the proposal as presenled. The creation
ol Employee Housing on-site should be viewed as an assel, as should the crealion ol retail
space upbn fie property. He stated that the purpose of the worksession was to gain feedback
from the Gommission regarding possible up and downsides of the project as proposed.
Doqg Cahill asked if any setbacks were being encroached upon with the proposal. David replied
that ihe existing building at the northeast exisled in an easement. A one-story building would be
replaced in the same location. A view corridor was allowed belween the proposal and the
existing Montaneros building, which was built directly on the northwest property line.
Alex Prizer, a representative of the Montaneros Condominium owners, voiced that concerns that
the Montaneros ovwters were dealing with. He stated that it seemed that the setbacks required
by zoning were not being honored with the new proposal. He did not agree with the proposal to
eiect another building structure within the norlheastern easement. Further, he commenied lhat
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan was not being honored in regard to sun/shade, view
room.
Page 2
corridors, and other similar issues. He added that there was a covenant in place lhat granted
power to the Town regarding development issues. His hope on behalf of the homeowners was
that the application be tabled untilfurther discussion could occur regarding the proposal.
Russ Forrest encouraged the Commission to keep their attention focused on the regulations
specified by the Zoning Code and not the regulations specified by private covenants.
Chip Glacier, a homeowner within the Montaneros building, expressed concern with the
shadowing that would occur over the pool area of the Montaneros building due to the northeast
lower proposed by the Lion's Square Lodge. He clarified that the setback issue at the northwest
corner occurred subsequently to the construction of Montaneros.
David Viele commented that he would nol feel obligated lo converse with the Montaneros
ownership component due to his stalus under letter of intent. He detailed the etlorts that had
been made lo mainlain the view corridor that curr€ntly existed for the Montaneros homeowners.
Alex Prizer commented that it was not his experience for lhe public to speak and then have a
developer rebut the public comments. He,commented that simply because a certain design
would be allowed under zoning regulations did not mean that it was in accordance with the
Lionshead Redevelopmenl Masler Plan as well.
Jim Lamont, Vail Village Hom.eowner's Association, commented that lhe Masler Plan was not
lhoroughly detailed in the memorandum. Jim asked if there was enough informalion for the
public to decipher, from the memo, what the issues are that are at stake. Jim requesled that the
Stafl outline as much as possible, the details of the proposal and the regulations under which it is
reviewed. Mr. Lamont further requested that the adjacent property improvemenls be submitted
by the applicant upon a central documenl for Planning and Environmental Commission review.
He suggested a "shared amenities" package that would work lo the advantage of surrounding
homeowners.
Bill Pierce commented that considerably less was being built on the site than could be
constructed. He added that spaces between the buildings were, indeed, important to be well-
developed and accommodating to property owners, etc. He realized that views would be
atfected but that good steps had already been taken to separate the two towers. When one's
view lies across another one's properties, there is always a problem. He commented that it
seemed to be importanl to see how the proposal fit into its context in lerms of size and volume.
Anne Gunion asked about the difference between how the 'intent" of the Master Plan and the
"regulations" of the Master Plan are met by the project. She warned that site coverage should be
treated carefully. She was pleased to see that the roof height was not as high as it could be.
The proposal seemed to be a huge improvement to the existing site and structure. She would
not require additional study malerials other than the existing regulations in lhe Zoning Code and
Master Plan.
Chas Bernhardt commented that today's presentation was a good start. He asked if the
applicant might work on an easVwest passage within the site, He urged the applicant to continue
to work lhings out with lhe neighbors,
Dick Cleveland voiced soine concerns with the public ways between buildings. He stated that
the Master Plan identified the need to create more of these public ways, which this project did
not propose. He commented that he would be concerned about the "inlent" statement about the
proposal's conformance. He added that long discussions had occurred about selbacks, step
backs, etc., with the Arrabelle project. The maximum regulations prescribed to a site should also
Page 3
not be deemed the requirements for a site (i.e. height). With all of the work going on, he did not
think that any parking should remain above ground. A design should be drafted that used the
existing/proposed above grade parking areas for a different use.
Bill Jewitt stated that the proposal was a huge improvement over what was currently in place.
He encouraged the applicant to use the warmest possible colors and avoid continuation of the
beige palette that was currently in use within the Lionshead areas. He stated that in order to
approve the project, he would need a comprehensive list of the public benefits that would result
from the project. He encouraged the tuJo parties to collaborate regarding the covenant issues.
He was also concerned about the easement (i.e. what is allowed). Regarding tratfic, he
expressed some concem about the entrance to the covered parking area, saying that it seemed
like a relatively sharp turn was inevitable, He agreed that alllhe parking should be covered and
that no more should be added.
Rollie Kjesbo mmplimented lhe applicant on the improvement of the current proposal. He, too,
was hesitant regarding the easement. Parking should be replaced with green space, shared-by-
vote space for the neighbor, etc.
Doug Cahill echoed the comments made about the improvement of this proposal. He suggested
lhat aoilinued attention be paid lo the amounl of retail space that may be eventually a valuable
asset within this area.
Bill Pierce commented that this uould be a great opportunity to look at the two towers in a
ditferent architectural light, as the Anabelle was designed (to look like a series of ditferent
buildings).
5. A request for a final recommendalion to the Vail Town Council of a text amendment, puruant to
Section 12-3-7, Amendments, Vail Town Code, to allow lor an amendment to Section '12-21-14,
Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail Town Code, to increase the amount of
affowable site coverage on lots with excessive slopes from '15% to 20o/", and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (PEC06-0020)
Applicant: Helmut Reiss, represented by lsom & Associates
Planner: Matt Gennett / Bill Gibson
ACTION: Tabled to May8,2006
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 7-0'0
Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum.
Steve lsom, lhe applicant, commented lhat the request before the Commission today had begun
as a simple site coverage variance requesl initialed by an addition to a home in Wesl Vail of
-100 square feet. The applicant had been urged by the Planning Commission to pursue the
route of a lext amendmenl instead. Much discussion had occurred over the years regarding the
limitation ol site disturbance vs. the regulation of site coverage. Steve furthered that residences
built upon steep slopes have always been limited by site coverage and lhence were unable lo
take advantage even of the 250 addition that used to be in place for single/two-family residential
sites. He recommended that the phrase "neW' be placed in the development phrase
recommended by Staff.
Dick Cleveland commented that this was a request that is related only to a couple of sites and
should not be evaluated as a text amendmenl for different zone districts, generally. He thought
that the current regulations were etfective.
Bill Jewitt commented that he was in favor last time and will likely be in favor of the request

a
again. He saw this as a regulation relating to hazards. He agreed with Steve's comment fhat
th-e DRB was the Board that should regulate site disturbance. However, he lelt that a calculable
guideline (in terms of a percentage) should be instituted to guide disturbance amounts.
Rollie Kjesbo also stated his continued support of the request. He said that the 60% wasa good
idea. tf that was a number that needed to be exceeded, it could be, privy to Design Review
Board review and approval. A variance should not be needed for that type of request above
60%.
Bill Pierce agreed with the other Commissioners.
Anne Gunion felt that the allowable site coverage should be at least 20%. She was opposed to
restricting site disturbance. She did agree to protecting nalural and environmental features,
which shbuld be viewed on a lot-to-lot basis. She would prefer that disturbance be treated on a
site-to-site basis.
Chas Bernhardt felt that this guideline could not be applied overall, but needed to be dealt wilh
on a site-to-site basis. Doug Cahill agreed that since disturbance was the intent of bringing the
site coverage down to 15%, it should be regulated now. He lett that the natural forms of the site
should be maintained as well. He prelerred to not regulate disturbance but to let lhe site
coverage rise to 20"/o.
Bill Jewitt commented that the DRB should be required to approvs a site disturbance plan. He
suggested it be stated that the Town has reasonably felt that 60% was a studied number
(guideline).
Anne Gunion suggested that the intent of the regulation be placed in the text to be used by the
Design Review Board.
Bill Gibson clarified that for the next Commission meeting, Stafl would draft text amendmenl
fanguage thal included an intent stalement, a 60% site disturbance guideline, and Design
Review Board authority to approve site coverage in excess of the guideline.
6. A request for a final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-12, Exemption Plat
Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, lo allow for an amendment to an existing platted building
envelope, located at 1722 Buflehr Creek Road/Lot 5, Block A, Lia Zneimer SuMivision, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC06-0025)
Applicant: Crack of Noon, L.P., represented by K. H. Webb Architects
Planner: ElisabethReed
ACTION: Denied
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Gunion VOTE: G0-0 (Jewitl absent)
This action was based upon the Interpretation by the Planning and Environmental
Commission that the on-grade patlo to the dorthwFt ol the residence is exempt from the
ptat r$trictaon rcquiring that lt be contained wllhln the building envelope, as long as lt is
iilled to the minimum helght clearance dictated by the Bullding Code as applied by the
Town of Vail at time of constructlon.
Elisabeth Reed presented an overview of the statf memorandum.
Kyle Webb, the applicant's representative, presented an overview of the request.
Commissioner Pierce asked Elisabeth to clarify which portions of the building must be located
within the building envelope.
Page 5

Elisabeth Reed clarified the difference between the approved plans and the proposed plans.
Rollie Kjesbo questioned amending a plat for the Zeimer Subdivision.
Chas Bernhardt noted that circumstances were beyond the applicant's conlrol and ths new
space is for the purpose of retaining the terrace entryway to the residence.
Dick Gleveland noted that the applicant repealedly stated they could comply wilh the building
envelope. He r,rras opposed to increasing the size of the envelope and wanted the applicant to
ask for other exclusions lhat meet the intent of the restriction.
Kyle Webb stated that he was agreeable to infilling this space to 18 inches in order to meet the
building code requirement for clearance.
Bill Jewitt recommends this be resolved by the applicant and statf. Bill Jewitt left the meeting
after making his comments
Rollie Kjesbo recommended that this space be defined as a means of retaining.
Doug Cahill recommended that a different s$le footer could have been used.
Ann Gunion noted that lhere was no visible difference from the original approval. The difference
is that a crawlspace now exists under the patio.
Bill Pierce asked the applicant to clarify the structural design of the stair, to which the applicant
replied that each stair was constructed with a 17' deep footing to compensate for the poor soils
in this area.
7. A request for final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-12, Exemption Plat

Bill Gibson made a presentation of the information provided in the staft memorandum
Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, was available for comment, as a representative of Town of Vail
Department of Public works.
Ann Gunion asked how this aclion would allow applicants to grade in the floodplain. Bill Gibson
explained that the lloodplain line on the plat would be deleted since it is inconect. Because this
is Residential Clusler zoning, allowable density is based upon buildable lot area (which exclused
areas within the floodplain).
Ann Gunion asked what authority PEC has to allow grading in the floodplain. Bill Gibson
answered that PEC is authorized by Tille 14 of the VailTown Code and is first step in approvalto
grade in the floodplain, lollowed by FEMA approval.
Tom Kassmel spoke aboul the Pubic Works Departments coordinalion with FEMA and
engineering consultants. FEMA has communicated that this type of request is a common
occurrence and simply a matler of processing the appropriate paperwork. Tom noted that the
Town of Vail's requirements for this proposal are more restriclive than FEMA's requirements.
Loraine Howenslein, co-applicant, said she sold property in Gypsum where lots within lhe
floodplain were filled. She said that all these propefties had to do was apply lo FEMA for a
change. She mentioned a few inches many times, but was nol really sure what was going on
here.
Dick Cleveland said he was concerned about increasing allowable GRFA and density for these
properties, but that moving the properties out of the floodplain makes sense. He supported the
PageT
lloodplain modification and the plat amendment if it wasnt used to create more buildable lot
area.
Rollie Kjesbo supported the application as proposed.
Bill Pierce agreed with Dick.
Anne Gunion agrees with Dick.
Doug Cahill said he would recommend keeping the plat note preventing additional buibabb lol
size.
Anne asked why the applicant would want the note removed from the plat. Bill answered that it
would allowfor me GRFA.
Luise Young, co-applicant, questioned what impact this would have on her property. Bill Gibson
explained.
Dick Cleveland noted that such an approval would allow for'more area ol the lots lo be safe from
flooding.
Bill Gibson noted that the new floodplain line works to the advantage of Parcel A, but to lhe
disadvantage of Parcels B and C.
Bill Pierce said that there are winners and losers in this game. However, lhe point is to make
homes safer, not bigger.
Dick cleveland stated that the homeowners needed to be treated fairly and suggested that the
least restriciive of the incorrect 1985 and lhe current floodplain lines should be used to calculate
buildable lot area.
Bill Gibson clarilied that Dick's recommendation would not allow the property owners to gain
additional density and GRFA by filling their lots beyond what would be allowed by the 1985 or
current buildable lot sizes.
Rollie Kjesbo disagreed and recommended that density and GRFA be based upon the.actual
buitdabl6 bt sizes (i.e. not limited to the 1985 or current conditions), but that no lot would have a
nel loss of density or GRFA from the 1985 conditions.
8. A reguest for a recommendation to the Vail Town Gouncil, pursuant to Section 12-3'7,
Ameridment, Vail Town Code, for amendments to Section 12-7H-5, Conditional Uses; Generally

1. A request for a final recommendation to the Vail Town Council of a text amendment, pursuant to
Section 12-3-7, Amendments, Vail Town Code, to allow for an amendment to Section 12-21-14,
Restrictions in Specific Zones on Excessive Slopes, Vail Town Code, to increase the amount of
allowable site coverage on lots with excessive slopes from 15% to 20To, and sefting forth details

'2, ln order to protect the natural iand form and vegetation on steep slopes, not
more than sixty percent (60yo) of the total site area may be disturbed from
present conditions by construction activiti*. The Design Review Board (DRB)
may approve site disturbance in sxcess of the sixty percent (E0o/o) maximum if
specific design criteria warrant the extent of the requested deviation,"
In the absence of Matt Gennett, Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum.
Steve lsom, the applicant's representative, stated that the proposal set forth with Staff's help
seemed sufficient.
Dick Cleveland felt that the amendment was neither necessary nor desirable and he was in
opposition to the change.
Page 1
Bill Jewitt commented that the argument of safety was not a good enough one to justify this
proposal. He thought that citizens dealing with thirty percent slopes should be treated as fairly
as those without thirty percent slopes.
Bill Pierce stated that this regulation would offer a lot more flexibility in site planning for sites with
steep slopes. This change would limit the number of homes which masses were located almost
directly on the road.
Doug Cahill thought that the new regulation followed the original intent of the Code. The Design
Review Board should have the latitude to ask an applicant to reduce his/her site coverage to less
than 2Qo/o if necessary.
2. A request for a final review of a conditional use permit, pursuant to Section 12-6D-3, Conditional
Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for a public utility and public service use (water tank),located at
2734 Snowberry Drive/Lot 14, Block g, Vail lntermountain, and setting forth details in regard
thereto. (PEC06-0031)
Applicant: Eagle River Water and Sanitation District
Planner: Elisabeth Reed
ACTION: Approved
MOTION: Rollie Kiesbo SEGOND: Bill Jewift VOTE: &0-0
GONDTTTON(S):1. Prior to receipt of a grading permit from the Town of Vail Public Works
Department, a letter from the property owner of Lot 15, Block 9, Vail
Intermountain Subdivision, shall be submitted to and accepted by the
Town of Vail Gommunity Development Department that grants the
applicant permission to re-grade and re-seed the areas of Lot 15 that
will be disturbed as a result of the removal of the existing water tank.2. Prior to construction, a copy of the de-watering permit shall be
submitted to the Town of Vail Public Works l),epartment.3. Prior to construction, a staging plan and Public Way permit shall be
submitted to the Town of Vail Public Works Department.4. Prior to November 1, 2007, the applicant shall mitigate the visual
impacts of the above grade portions of the tank to a reasonable
standard.5. This approval shall be eontingent upon th€ applicant receiving Torrrn of
Vail approval of the design rEview application and required landscape
plan associated with this conditional use permit request.
Elisabeth Reed presented the project according to the memorandum.
Jim Boyd, the applicant, expanded upon the description of the proposal and made himself
available for questions.
Doug Cahill asked if the DRB would be reviewing this application further. Elisabeth responded
that the DRB had conceptually reviewed the proposal and would review it a final time at their
next public hearing.
Doug Cahill asked Jim Boyd to further describe the soil stability issues related to the water tank
site. Jim explained the soil conditions and how the structure had been engineered to address
the issues.
Larry Kollusman, adjacent property owner, stated that he was opposed to a large concrete water
tank being constructed above his house due to the "unsightliness" of the structure, which might
Page2
result in decreased property values for himself and his neighbors. He would not be opposed to
the installation of a below grade water tank structure, however. He cannot cunently see the
existing tank, but believes the proposed tank will lie directly in the line of sight from his house.
He also noted the number of trees proposed for removal.
Jim Boyd acknowledged the potential impact to this adjacent property owner. He noted that the
ERWSD had not finalized its landscape/re-vegetation plan. The District was planning to screen
the tank from this concerned neighbor's house with a berm and tree plantings. The ERWSD was
willing to plant additional trees to improve the screening of the tank.
Larry Kollusman was also concerned about the proposed tank being four times larger than the
existing tank. He suggested that a more extensive soils test might prove that the tank could be
buried.
Dick Cleveland asked about the rationale for a tank of this size.
Jim Boyd responded that the tank was built in the 1970's. Additional water storage was needed
to accommodate population groMh and to meet fire flow needs created by sprinkler systems
being required in recently constructed houses. He noted the flows analyst for the District would
be more familiar with these questions.
Dick Cleveland asked why the bids were not viable.
Jim Boyd responded that the bids were too high and did not even take into account soil
conditions and ground water conditions. Their engineers recommended placing the tank above
ground.
Larry Kollusman noted that there were large new homes being constructed on similar slopes
along this street and believed today's request was only a cost issue.
Bill Pierce asked how it compared with the tank on the ski hill. Jim Boyd responded that it is
approximately one million gallons. Bill Pierce verified that the tank would not be taller than the
tank it is replacing. He noted that the DRB needs to ensure this is well screened.
Anne Gunion believed the request met the first criteria for review, the second criteria, and the
third criteria. She believed adequate screening would make the tank comply with criteria number
four. She wanted to see a landscape plan, or thought that the tank should be construeted below
grade. She also wanted to see a letter submifted from a soils engineer.
Dick Cleveland agreed with Commissioner Gunion. He wanted to see documentation justifying
the size of the proposed tank. lf the tank was screened as well as today's tank was, he was
comfortable with the proposal. He was concerned about the proposed trees actually screening
the tank. Something other than a solid paint color should be considered as well. Otherwise he
was comfortable with the request.
Bill Jewitt was comfortable with the request and believed the PEC's concerns were actually DRB
issues. The goal should be to save the taxpayers on construction costs, but provide adequate
landscaping to screen the tank.
Rollie Kjesbo believed the ERWSD would not spend extra funds on a tank size that was not
warranted, and believed the landscaping and screening are DRB issues.
Page 3
Doug Cahill noted the growth in the adjacent neighborhood, and noted the need to construct a
safe structure. He also asked if an additional berm or retaining walls could be constructed to
better screen the tank. He noted the challenges of landscaping the site. He requested that Jim
Boyd explain the proposed construction schedules.
Jim Boyd responded that construction will not begin before late June and the ERWSD is
concerned about the aVailability of bidders for construction this summer.
3. A request for final review of an appeal of an administrative action, pursuant to Section 12-3-3,
Appeafs, Vail Town Gode, appealing a staff determination that an observatory is not an
architectural projection allowed to extend above the building height limit, 1979 Sunburst
Drive/Lot 12,Yail Valley Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PRJ05-0417)
Appellant: Ned Gwathmey and Todd Kramer; Gwathmey, Pratt, Shultz Architects
Planner: Bill Gibson
AGTION: Staff determination overturned
MOTION: Dick Gleveland SECOND: BillJeuritt VOTE:
Cahillopposed)
Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum.
Ned Gwathmey, the applicant, stated thaf the approved space was not habitable even though it
is regarded as Gross Residential Floor Area. He believes the observatory is simply an
architectural feature because it was not proposed to be occupied space. The Design Review
Board and the neighbors both liked the proposal, he stated.
Anne Gunion asked if the drawings included in the memorandum matched those that were being
proposed by the applicant today. lt was verified that the drawings included in the memorandum
were no longer applicable.
Doug Cahill asked about the proposed material for the tower element, Ned Gwathmey stated
that the roof would be cast aluminum and further explained the elevation drawings to the
Commission.
Ned Gwathmey asked if it would be helpful to have the owner explain the use.
Dick Cleveland commented that such explanation would not be necessary. He felt that this
proposal was clearly an architectural projection that warranted a height increase. He was in
support of overtuming the Staffs determination.
Bill Jewitt also felt that the space was not habitable and was only an architectural projection.
Rollie Kjesbo agreed with Commissioner Jewitt.
Bill Pierce commented that as much as he would like to approve the projection due to its
architectural merit, but he was concerned about the precedent set by approving a projection that
counted as GRFA.
Anne Gunion said that whether it was occupied or not was not the issue. She stated that the
guidelines were intended to provide for varying architecture.
Doug Cahill stated that he viewed the space under question is designed to be habitable.
Anne Gunion further stated that occupied space was very different than habitable space. The
element was far more a projection than a roof.

Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit
AGTION: Approved
MOTION: Rollie Kiesbo SEGOND: Bill Jewitt, VOTE: 6-0-0
Warren Campbell gave a presentation per the staff memorandum, highlighting the changes that
the applicant was proposing.
Jay Peterson, representing Vail Resorts, added some comments to the initial presentation,
stressing the amount of open space that would be maintained on the site with this proposed
amendment on the western side of the building. Mr. Petersen addressed several comments
from the pre-meeting regarding the future layout of retail within the area known as "West
Lionshead" and how the areas being set aside within the Ritz-Carlton would help to add to the
success of retail in "West Lionshead". Mr. Petersen added that he had spoken with the attorney
from Vail Spa, who commented that he wished that no after-hours establishment such as a bar
ever be installed in the northeast corner of the RiE-Carlton.
Bob Fitzgerald, of 4240 Architecture, commented on the architectural story, saying that the
proposal presented today was simply an exclamation point to the original proposal. The south
westem corner under discussion had never been proposed for open space, but had originally
been proposed as the area to locate a lift house.
There was no public comment.
The Commission generally expressed its support of the amendments as the changes allowed
the building to tamper more towards West Forest Road and helped to screen the new parking
garage entry for the Gore Creek Residences. Commissioner Cleveland stated that he was
fearful of the "creep" in size of projects through amendments made after initial approval,
however, he felt the amendment made sense. Commissioner Jewitt stated that he still had
concerns over the viability of retail/commercial/restaurants in the Ritz-Carlton structure and in
the possible future portal of 'West Lionshead".

Jay Peterson clarified that the Forest Service no longer is the applicant, as the property is now
owned by Vail Resorts.
Jim Lamont, representative of the Vail Village Homeowners Association, is in favor of the project
but there are adjacent property owners who are concerned about the project. The primary
concern of these adjacent owners is the preservation of open space. The concern is that what is
now publicly accessible land should stay accessible. There is a consistency with the Tract D
covenants that prohibit above ground development unrelated to skiing. They would like to know
if the area will be publicly accessible.
Russ Forest stated that in Page 7 of the memorandum, the skier seMces building will only be
one story. Any change of the development plan will be required to go through the public
process.

Tom Braun stated that there are requirements in the conditional approvals to provide pedestrian
easements from the skier property to Vail Road to the West. The access required by the
covenant will be maintained.
Jay Peterson showed the view conidor on the map and noted where pedestrian easements
exist. Covenants on the property will not occur because it will cause problems in the future. He
also stated that this zoning will require the most public scrutiny.
Bill Jewitt said that when the project went through Town Council, there were restrictions put on
the project where open space is required to be used for public events.
Jim Lamont requested a letter from the Town outlining the requirements of the pedestrian
easements and other protections of the property.
Jay Peterson stated the approval is what it is and that the development plan is the detailed
outline of the project.
Jim Lamont said that the public needs to have access to the surface of the site that is not being
developed.
Bill Jewitt mentioned that the comments by Jim Lamont are not pertinent to the cunent
discussion.
Jim Lamont responded that this is an important issue and needs to be discussed on the record,
Jay Peterson outlined the requirements of how the land will be publicly accessed. He then read
text from the White River National Forest report by Tom Nacey.
Jim Lamont asked about the agreement with Vail Resorts for public access for special events.
Russ Forrest responded that the DIA will include such agreements. Jay Peterson said that the
DIA will be final before TCO.

Rachel Friede made a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Bill Jewitt said he cannot support the addition of seasonal use and structures as a conditional
use to LMU-1 because the regulations for this land use, especially tents, need to be amended.
Dick Cleveland suggested that this use only be allowed for a maximum of 30 days and should be
split into seasonal and temporary, with separate regulations.. Staff will propose these changes
in the future.
The Commission agreed that the word "plan" be added to'inclusion of employee housing" in
order to allow a plan that may be coordinated with curent housing initiatives.
Dick Cleveland said that the Open Space and Recreation District should not add "and runs" to
the conditional uses and that the Cascade runs should stay legally nonconforming. He is
concemed that this may open the door for more runs in the O District. He was also concerned
about allowing 'Ski lifts, towns and runs, not including lift loading and unloading areas" in the
Natural Area Preservation District because this is our most restrictive zone district. Staff will
provide a map showing the O and NAP Districts that border the ski mountain at the next meeting.
Regarding changes to Chapter 12-18, Rollie Kjesbo asked whether this would trigger 250s. Staff
responded that this text amendment would confirm that buildings that are over on dwelling units
per acre would then trigger a 250, as they have used up allallowable GRFA.
Dick Cleveland made a motion to table this item to June 12.2OO6so that Staff can return with
changes and additional information.

Rachel Friede made a presentation per the staff memorandum. This item was a worksession.
Tom Talbot, the Town of Vail Wildfire Specialist and Bill Carlson, the Environmental Officer, were
present to answer any questions.
The Commission expressed an interest in creating concrete requirements for a Wildfire
Specialist. They were also concerned about creating a cottage industry. Tom Talbot said that
there are some credentials we could require of the specialist such as those from the National
Wildfire Coordination Group. Also, the Eagle Gounty Wildfire Coordinate, Erik Lundgren, may be
able to do inspections for free.
The Commission expressed concern over Wildfire Regulations that would require clear cufting
trees. Tom Talbot said that the goal is not to require trees cut down, but to protect the
neighborhood.
Dick Cleveland was concerned about legislation that is open to interpretation. Tom Talbot said
that there may be ways to enforce legislation and get the right results through lot-byJot analysis.
Doug Cahill wants regulations that inform property owners of the mitigation that will be required
before they begin the process, as to not burden them. Staff informed them that the requirements
will be triggered by new development, residential additions over 500 square feet, commercial
additions over 1000 square feet or an increase in dwelling units, accommodation units or
fractional fee units.
Tom Talbot said that the VFES has offered assessments forfree to homeowners in Vail. As a
result, there have been some successful mitigation projecS.
The Commission asked about the creation of the Wildfire Hazard Map. Tom Talbot said that the
changes in slope, fuel materials, etc., change the spread of fire and thus are reflected in the
hazard designation.. The data used to create the map is a combination of data from Eagle
County and a lot-by-lot assessment done by Tom Talbot.
Anne Gunion asked the burden placed on Staff to review plans. Rachel Friede said that the
burden of review will be placed on the planning team, as to not burden the building team any
more.
The Commission agreed that there needs to be an education of the Commission and the public.
During public comment, Jim Lamont of the Vail Village Homeowners Association said that the
current system is set up for more landscaping and keeping the trees. The public wants
standards and criteria, othenrvise, we are not talking to the right body for this regulatory process.
There needs to be correlation between design review requirements for landscaping and these
regulations. Changing the culture for fire mitigation will be difficult until people understand
cleady what they have to do. He said there may be covenant conflicts with design standards io
allow for metal roofs.
Anne Gunion said this muld be approached like Chicago, where building requirements are
paramount, and not the defensible space. Instead, perhaps the requirement should be to use
fire protected materials and alternative materials. Also, with specialists, not all agree or are the
same.

Rollie Kjesbo tabled this item until the June 12,2006, PEC meeting at the request of Staff. At
the next meeting, Staff will provide a lesson in FireWise, and will go on site visits to evaluate the
Wifdfire Hazard Rating of each lot.

Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: George Ruther
AGTION: Tabled to June 12,2006
George Ruther presented an oveMew of the request and the staff memorandum.
Bill Pierce noted a conflict of interest if this item is discussed solely in regard to the Lionshead Innand the old VailGlo Lodge and not as a general policy.
George Ruther clarified that this item was a general policy discussion applicable lo allof Lionshead.
Doug cahill asked George to clarify the recent Town council direction.
George Rulher noted that the Town Council direction was to create a "no net loss of accommodationunits' policy for Lionshead. and this policy discussion is broader than the initial thought on simplyrequiring no-net-loss of hotel. rooms. This policy discussion focuses on maintaining aiO increasingall forms of live beds in Lionshead, as articuiateci in the master plan.
Chas Bernhardt asked George Ruther to clarify how some of the proposed amendments wouldapply to specific situations.
Dick Cleveland asked George Ruther to clarify the conelation between an accommodation unit andthe number of beds. Dick noted that the number of beds is the true @ncern, and not necessarily thenumber of units.

George Ruther noted that no-neuoss has not been clarified to mean the Lionshead area or in anindividual building. tt is betieved to appty to individuat buildings, nowevei.
Bill Pierce noted the need for permanent residents in the Lionshead area, and is concerned aboutthe unintended consequence of discouraging such residence.
Dick Cleveland and Rollie Kjesbo noted their concerns about considering roluntary rental dwellingunits as live beds if the goal is to preserve true hotelrooms (i.e., accommo-oation uni{"i. - ---- '
George Ruther noted that.the LIYIU-1 zoning does not require a mixed use development. A singleuse building such as the Ritz Carlton is currently permitted. He also noted that rooje owelting ;nit ,
allowed by zoning have not yet been constructed.
Doug Cahill noted that the. use of any of the allowed units depends upon the management of theproperty and the market. There is an importance to the presenie of trotit amenities in itt prqects.
Jim Lamont asked George Ruther. to clarify the_ Council's policy direction and some specificelements of the request. George Ruther and iuss Forest clarified the direction.
Jim Lamont noted that the. LMU-1 zoning is too wide open and does not capture any one specificgoal of the master plan. He believes thi council and the pEC need to todr more itosely'aiihebroader issues and we are going down the path of the Village rror ttre isizo's with a dead downtownenvironment.
Dominic Mauriello' representing Lionshead Inn (Bill Pierce left the room during this discussion) notedthat the.master plan purposely never included a no-net-loss of hotel rooms policy. The only no-net-loss policy only applied to parking w_ith a possible redevelopment of tne lionshead parking structureand.employee housing units at the Sunbird Building. He al'so noted thatlhe majority or tn6 not neosin Lionshead are not hotel rooms. These non-hoiel beds havJi nigrr"t" o".rp"ncy rate than thehotel beds' He also noted that hotel rooms and fractionat ree units iJceive significant incentives inthe LMU zoning. He also noted a concem about.equity in that only tnieJ properties will be requiredto maintain hotels in all of Lionshead. He noted that ohry tne corssite ii recommended as a mixeduse hotel building in the master plan. lt is unfair to allowihe nu to otiro all condominiums and onryallow hotels in other buildings within the same zone district. He noted that the Evergreen wluntarilyagreed to a no'net-loss hotel room policy when they requested a rezoning to LMU, which is verydifferent.than other properties that have been zonbd ttr,tu tor serreral years and are only nowrestricted to maintaining hotel rooms.
Dick Cleveland noted his concern about specifically naming projects in the proposed amendmentsinstead of a general policy change. Dick recommenoeo ctrin'ging tne froposeo text to reflect a no-net-loss of live beds policy. He interpreted the council's directiorias mainiaining onty one oiine iiv"bed products (i'e. accommooation units). He is not an advocate of transfer of development rights.
Rollie Kjesbo agreed with.Dick in oblaining clearer Council direction of only maintaining hotel roomsor is this discussion about maintaining live beds. He believJs tne omerent types of live beds workwell in Lionshead.
Bill Pierce recommended.a policy of allowing permanent resident in the core areas. He is in favor ofmaintaining live beds, not accommodation u-nits. He oetievei ini ooii.t;d. to ippry to ti'e eniiidistrict and the "opportunity/ should not be bome by only one or two buildings.
Page2
Chas Bernhardt noted the need for permanent residents and the need for chain based hotel
products to meet market demands. He acknowledged that many rential condominiums work well, but
requiring hotels may be necessary.
Doug Cahill suggested working further to define live beds, instead of only focusing on
accommodation units. He also recommended further analysis of which products cunently are
working best. He recommended exploring a policy of requiring live beds in the new development
projects. He noted his concerns about voluntary rental programs.
George Ruther noted the Staffs concern that this policy is not as simple as only requiring a no-net-
loss of hotel rooms and the disconnection between the existing master plan policies ind the existing
zoning regulations. He stated that if the goal was to address Policy 2.3.3 of the master plan, than
more should be done than simply attempt to preserve accommodation units.
Dominic Mauriello noted that the PEC should give direction to the Council on zoning issues and to
not simply parrot back what the Council wants.
Dick Cleveland repeated his desire for further direction from the Council.
Bill Pierce does not want to just palch a small hole without examining this issues in their entirety.

Bill Pierce noted his conflict of interest if discussions relate directly to Lionshead Inn and are not
a general discussion.
George Ruther presented an overview of the request and the staff memorandum.
Russ Forest presented an overview of the Staffs discussions with the Town Council at its June
2No public hearing.
George Ruther discussed the economic impacts of hotels, fractional fees, etc. He distributed a
2003 memorandum addressing the issue. He reinforced the need for a diversity of lodging
types.
Bill Pierce recused himself when the discussion focused on identifying and regulating specific
properties with existing accommodation units.
Doug Cahill asked for clarification of the impacts of these amendments on voluntary dwelling
uniUfractional fee rental programs. George Ruther clarified how these programs are addressed.
Dominic Mauriello, representing Lionshead Inn, noted their general agreement with the staff
memorandum with some minor clarifications. He noted their support of addressing 'live beds"
instead of "accommodation units." He noted concern that these discussions need to apply to all
projects in Lionshead. He also gave a brief summary of the type of redevelopment they will be
proposing.
Dick Cleveland suggested not including a specific list of development projects with
accommodation units. lnstead some "no net loss of accommodation units" language should be
added. The existing accommodation units should not be replaced with any other type of "live
bed", because "live beds" are not guaranteed to be rental units. He also recommended
maintaining the existing "live beds" and creating incentives for additional "live beds'.
Bill Jewitt suggested eliminating all reference to "accommodation units" and only addressing
"live beds". He agreed that specific projects should not be referenced. He discussed the likely
use of fractional fee units and dwelling units during the off-season, when a pure accommodation
unit will be vacant. He recommended keeping flexibility in the Town Code. He recommended
"live beds" instead of "accommodation units." The concern isn't just having any guest in a bed,
but the type of guest in that bed.
Rollie Kjesbo recommends using the term "live beds" and more flexibility. He agreed with Dick
Cleveland's concern about guaranteeing rental of dwelling units.
George Ruther noted that if the intent of the LMU districts is for mixed use development or
accommodation rooms, then the Town needs to require mixed uses and require
accommodation uses. He recommended adding intent statements to the proposed text.

Dominic Mauriello noted his client's desire to have a specific policy for their property to provide
assur€lnce as to their development requirements. He also wants this issue to move to a vote so
the development moratorium can be lifted.
Doug Cahill noted that the Town does not want to lose the short-term availability of some form
of units.

Planning Comnission
Town of Vail
Vail, CO
We are owners of two units at Montaneros and have been.for the past 30 years. We are dismayed to have
just leamed that Lions Square North has applied for planning pemrission fsr an expansion consisting oftwo
towers on either end of their building We are writing this letter to request that plsnning approval to Lions
Square Norltr be denied for the expansion of the two towers on eithei end of'their building.
Last year Montaneros made a substantial exterior renovation, practically theJirst building to do so before
new projects like the Arrabela, and trying to fit ia with the new style for Lionshead. We ryere aware from
the beginning that the Arrabela project would block some ofour views and sunlight, but we also were
aware that this would probably be ofbenefit to Lionshead and to Vail as a whole. If the newproject for
Lions Square North was to be approved, it would not only damage considerably the value ofour property
by blocking our views and sunlight completely, but most important it would brake a previous agreement
made between Montaneros and the original owuers of ttle plot of land where Lions Square North is
presently located. We have in fact looked at the drawings prepared by Lions Square North, specifically tlrc
ones dealing with shading as existing and shading with the proposed plans.
We wouid like to rnake you aware that the land on which Lions Square North was built, belonged originally
to Montaneros. This land was sold to what later became Lions Square North, a Mr. David Cole was the
Real Estate agent invoived in the transactior This sale was doIre in the early 1970s aod an agreement was
made making the sale conditional to Lions Square North not to build above THREE STORIES HIGH. This
was set up as an agreement berween seller (Montaueros) and buyer (Lions Square North) in order to
guarantee that the view would not be obstructed by the new building.
If the Planning Commission were to autlorize the expansion of Lions Square North, including the he ight
requested by this new proposal, you would in effect be breaching a previous contract agreed upon with
Montanero's homeowners, as weli as dirninishing the value of our property by obstructing light and views.
