Hill Building Renovation
Application to Encroach into View Corridor 6/20/2017 12:00:00 AM
The purpose of this report is to outline two proposed view corridor encroachments associated
with the renovation of the Hill Building. As further described below, encroachments are
proposed to View Corridors#1 and #2.
View Corridor#1
VC#1 is a view from the south side of the Vail Transportation Center toward Vail Village and
Vail Mountain. The purpose of the view corridor is to "protect the views of Vail Mountain,views of
Vail Village and to maintain the prominence and views of the Clock Tower and Rucksack Tower as seen
from the central staircase of the Transportation Center"
Portions of the Hill Building currently encroach into this view corridor. Existing encroachments
are limited to a portion of roof at the northeast corner of the building and two chimneys. This
encroachment request is necessary in order to nominally increase the ridge height of the
existing roof and to slightly increase the height of the existing chimneys.
View Corridor#4
VC#4 is a view from the corner of Wall Street and One Vail Place Building toward the Gore
Range. The purpose of this view corridor is "to protect views of the Gore Range as seen from the alley
between Founders Plaza and Seibert Circle".
An existing 3rd Level balcony currently encroaches into this view corridor. This balcony is proposed to be
removed. The encroachment request is necessary in order to extend roof eaves lines that currently extend
+/-18"from the north face of the building to 3'8".
