Project Narrative: Proposed replacement and enhancement of the existing starter shack on the
Vail Golf Course.
The proposed structure will serve as a light amenity and services structure located at the driving range
and start of the course. It will be replacing the existing starter shack and act as a satellite location to
compliment the main clubhouse.
The style and materials will match the neighboring clubhouse and its use supports the existing golf
course and aims to boost the visitors experience and provide maximum utility.
There will be no permanent outdoor lighting that would contribute to light pollution and the proposed
standard utilities would not affect air quality. With a minimal occupancy load, and parking being
provided at the neighboring clubhouse,the proposed facility would not affect traffic, public
transportation, or pedestrian access and safety. It would serve to enhance the public service able to be
provided on this recreational golf course.
There is clear access from sunburst drive for maintenance and safety.The structure is not in a location
that would hinder snow storage or removal from the public streets and parking areas. Parking is
provided at the neighboring clubhouse where traffic and access is open and free from congestion or
delay.
The primary objective is to provide better utility and services to the public recreational golf course.The
scale of the proposed structure is designed to be a welcoming landmark and beacon for the Vail Golf
Course. It will be more prominent than the existing structure while still retaining its secondary status to
the parent Clubhouse. With the style and materials matching and complimenting the neighboring
Clubhouse, the proposed starter shack will tie together the existing infrastructure and be a visual
improvement in terms of form and consistency.
