Re: Project Narrative – Simba Run Trash and Recycling Facilities Improvements 1100 N Frontage Rd W, Vail, Colorado 81657, Eagle County HCE Project No. 2151057.00
Dear Sir or Madam,
High Country Engineering, Inc. (HCE) is pleased to submit the following application on behalf of Simba Run
Condominium Association (SRCA) for Trash and Recycling Facilities Improvements. SRCA is requesting Design
Review Board (DRB) approval to implement improvements to the trash and recycling facilities at the SRCA
property. The trash and recycling facilities are located off Lions Ridge Loop, west of the vehicular entrance to the
SRCA parking garage. Specifically, the area is within the existing covered building recess between the 5th floor
exit and tennis courts.
Proposed improvements include alterations to the existing trash, recycling, and loading dock area to accommodate
an enclosed area within the existing building footprint allowing for easier access by residents, tenants, and guests.
SRCA will maintain a loading and delivery function at this location as well. The proposed enclosure will include
the addition of an overhead door to the existing building recess. Driveway access improvements are also proposed
to alleviate steep grades and allow Waste Management to approach the trash enclosure with desirable slopes.
Grading and drainage improvements are proposed as part of the driveway access reconstruction off of Lions Ridge
Loop. Concrete drainage pans are proposed to convey runoff by diverting sheet flow from Lions Ridge Loop and
utilize the existing storm drainage system.
Please contact us if you have any questions, comments, or need any additional information.
Sincerely, HIGH COUNTRY ENGINEERING, INC.
