Background Rationale: Eric Kuhn of the CRWCD will make a

Larry Eskwith Real Estate Transfer Tax Funds uses
Charlie Wick
Action Requested of Council: Approve/deny Ordinance No. 8,
Series of 1987, on first reading.
Background Rationale: This amendment to the RETT ordinance
allows the RETT fund to be used for the improvement as well
as for the acquisition of land. It restricts the total
amount of money which can be financed for the construction
of an improvement, which is also a building, to $500,000.

Series of 1987.
Background Rationale: The Town of Vail wants to close its
operating account and open another at the FirstBank of Vail
effective April 1, 1987. This procedure is necessary in
order to get an actual cash balance reconciliation to a
particular date, i.e., end of the first quarter. This is a
cash management procedure since our operating account is on
an actual cash basis.
Staff Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 8, Series of
1987.
8:45 6. Total Beauty Centre Sign Variance Request
Kristan Pritz
Action Requested of Council: Review the sign variance
request and determine if the variance should be approved or
denied.
Backqround Rationale: Total Beauty Centre is located on the
second floor above Alpine Gold in Vail Village Inn Phase
II. The applicant is requesting to have three signs (two on
the awning and one wooden sign in the covered entry) with a
total square footage of 7.3 sq. ft. Under the sign code, a
second story business is allowed one sign of 3 sq. ft. at
the entry point into the building. The applicant is
requesting two additional signs beyond the one sign that is
allowed as well as an additional 4.3 sq. ft. of signage for
the business. On January 7, 1987, the Design Review Board
recommended to Town Council to approve the two signs on the
awning but to deny the wooden sign. The vote was 5-0 in
support of the motion. The variance for the awning was
considered reasonable as Total Beauty has a visibility
problem due to: 1) a second floor location, 2) the entrance
is located on the second tier of shops, and 3) a covered
walkway blocks the visibility of the awning signage and
entry, particularly from East Meadow Drive.
Staff Recommendation: The staff supports the variance for
the awning and recommends denial of the request for the
additional wooden sign in the covered entry way. At this
time, the applicant is requesting approval for the entire
variance. For this reason, staff must recommend denial of
the proposal as a whole. Please note that the Council may
approve the application "subject to such modifications
as it deems necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
title." Section 16.36.080

from voting due to involvement in the project. Peter Patten gave additional
information explaining the existing extra unit would have to be taken out. Lawrence

Eskwith explained it would not be a nonconforming use, but a zoning violation.

ordinance, and John Slevin seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 6-0.
t
At this time, Mayor Johnston announced there would be a special meeting on February

concerning capital improvement projects for the town February 17 and 24 at 7:30 p.m.
at the Manor Vail Lodge. He invited everyone to attend and requested everyone to
pass the word.
The seventh item was Resolution No. 5, Series of 1987, authorizing the extension of
an option to purchase the Singletree Golf Course. Larry Eskwith explained the
resolution approved the extension agreement and gave details. Ken Wilson, President
of the Vail Board of Realtors, stated their position opposing the use of real estate
transfer tax funds for the purchase and urged the Council to vote no. Pete Feistman
explained his concerns over the entire situation. Jim Morter, a Singletree property
owner, encouraged the Council to purchase the golf course. Ken Shapiro, a
Singletree property owner, gave his concerns over using real estate transfer tax
funds to purchase the golf course and that existing owners had contractual
commitments to the property owners and recommended the Council to not proceed with
the purchase. Jack Skinner representing a group of lodges gave reasons why they
felt the Town should buy the golf course. Jody Foust of the Vail Daily had
questions concerning the water rights to which Larry Eskwith responded. Mike
Cacioppo explained the reasons why he opposed the purchase. Al Weiss stated he was
opposed to the purchase and appealed to the Council to put the decision to a public
vote. Bob Fritch, owner of the Sitzmark Lodge, gave reasons why he was against the
purchase. Ralph Davis stated he felt the taxpayers should not have to subsidize the
golfers. Bruce Gillie commented the Council should approve the resolution. Mike
Robinson, the Manager of the Marriott's Mark Resort, supported the purchase. Don
Hagen gave comments on other items which had priority, he felt, over the golf
course. Fred Green, a managing partner of Singletree and on the Board of Directors
of the Berry Creek Metropolitan District, reminded the Council that the Town would
be indemnified by Berry Creek and gave comments on why he felt the Council should
proceed. Geoff Wright, General Manager of Destination Resorts, gave reasons why he
was for the purchase. Joan Shelsta, Manager and Director of Sales of Fall Ridge,
thought it would be beneficial to be able to guarantee times for individuals as well
as groups. Chris Hanen, Manager of Lionsquare Lodge, and Bruce Kendall of the Vail
Racquet Club explained why they supported the purchase. Don Klinger, a resident of
Singletree and member of the Berry Creek Metropolitan District Board, gave some
information to the Council and stated he opposed the purchase by the Town. Ken
Shapiro made more comments and had questions for the Council. After comments by the
Council and Larry Eskwith, Eric Affeldt made a motion to deny the resolution. John
Slevin seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-1, with Kent
Rose opposing.
The next item, Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1987, first reading, to finance the
purchase of the Singletree Golf Course, was moot and was not acted on by the
Council.
The ninth item for discussion was Resolution No. 3, Series of 1987, changing the
name of the Capital Improvements and Open Space Fund to Capital Projects Fund.
Steve Barwick explained this was a simple resolution changing the name of the fund
and it was just a technical matter. After a short discussion by Council, Kent Rose
made a motion to approve the resolution, and John Slevin seconded. A vote was taken
and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
The next item on the agenda was Resolution No. 4, Series of 1987, supporting the
Colorado Lottery. Pat Dodson gave a brief explanation of the resolution. There was
no discussion by Council or the public. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal made a motion to
approve the resolution, and Gordon Pierce seconded. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 6-0.
The eleventh item, the Total Beauty Centre sign variance request, was tabled until a
later date.
There was no Citizen Participation.
The Town Manager's Report was next. Ron Phillips stated the Town of Vail Five Year

TO: Design Review Board
I FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: December 17, 1986
SUBJECT: Sign variance request for the Total Beauty Centre
APPLICANT: Total Beauty Centre: Brenda Le Grange
I. REQUEST
On November 19, 1986 the applicant tabled the variance until the
December 17, 1986 meeting. The request has not been changed from the
original proposal. In general, members favored the variance for the
awning but did not support the additional sign in the covered walkway
off of Meadow Drive.
Total Beauty Centre is in Phase I & II of Vail Village Inn. The
business is located on the second floor above Alpine Gold. To reach
Total Beauty, a pedestrian enters off of East Meadow Drive, passes
through an outside covered stairway between Alpine Gold and Vail Village
Inn Sports, and goes through a common door at the top of the stairway.
The applicant is requesting variances from the following section of the
Town of Vail sign code:
Section 16.20.090 Projecting and Hanging Signs--Individual
business within a multi-tenant building.
I. Special Provisions
3. In a case where a business or organization located
above or below street level fronts directly onto an
exterior balcony, deck, walkway or stairway which is
utilized as the busi-ness' own entrance and for
unrestricted public access and use, the allowable sign
area for any sign to be located at the building level
shall be based upon the portion of the business
frontage which abuts directly upon the balcony deck,
walkway or stairway with a maximum size allowed not to
exceed 5 square feet. A sign of a maximum area of 3
square feet shall be allowed for businesses having
insufficient frontage
The applicant is requesting approval for the following signs:
1. A black and white awning which has one sign on the front of
the awning and one on the side.
Side signage: 8" x 2' = 1.3 sq ft
Front signage: 1' x 3' = 3.0 sq ft
r 2. A hanging black and white wooden sign located in the covered
walkway leading up to the entrance. This sign is l'x 3' = 3
sq ft.
.A
1
At this time, Total Beauty Centre has three signs (two on the awning)
with a total square footage of 7.3 square feet. Under the sign code, a
second story business is allowed 3 square feet at the entry point into
the building. Therefore, the applicant is requesting two additional
signs beyond.the one sign that is allowed as well as an additional 4.3
..square feet of-signage for the-business.
The applicant has submitted the following statement as to why she feels
the sign variance is warranted:
"Total Beauty Centre has over the past 5 years had 2 entrances
--our main entrance being where Goods' main entrance is now and
our back entrance was just west of Alpenrose' back patio. We now
have only one entrance--that being the back entrance which is now
our main entrance. The visibility to the entrance is difficult,
-having to walk under a covered walkway and then upstairs.
The signage used now is without a doubt a lot more tasteful than
what was originally being used--a bright yellow and green sun
shaped sign also larger than what we have now. The old sign was
in a more strategic position--on the front corner of the
building. We have now moved our new sign further back off the
street.
With regard to the awning, we basically replaced the old Polo
colours--green with orange stripes--with our colours--black and
white. The sign next to our entrance was removed when the new
awning was installed. Both the sign and awning have our logo and
are a vast improvement to what was previously there.
As we have decreased the signage and done a more subtle and
tasteful job on our new signs, I am sure you will agree and thus
approve the new sign and awning."
II. FINDINGS AND STAFF RESPONSES
Before the board acts on a variance application, the applicant must
prove physical hardship and the.board must find that:
A. There are special circumstances or conditions aonlyinq to the
land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other
matters on adjacent lots or within the adjacent right-of-wav which
would substantiallv restrict the effectiveness of the siqn in
question; provided, however, that such special circumstances or
conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprise to
which the applicant desires to draw attention, and do not apply
.generally to all businesses or enterprises.
Staff Response: -
Total Beauty Centre has a visibility problem due to several
factors: -1)-The salon is-l.ocated on the-second floor of the
-2-
building, 2) the entrance is located off East Meadow Drive on the
second (or rear) tier of shops, and 3) in order to get to Total
Beauty -.Centre, you.u -must walk through a covered walkway which
blocks the visibility of the awning signage and entry. Staff
believes that this is a special circumstance which warrants some
additional signage to identify the business. Our opinion is that
the awning signage which includes one sign of 1.3 square feet and
one sign of 3 square feet is warranted. We do not feel that it is
necessary for Total Beauty Centre to have a separate sign at the
entrance to the covered walkway off East Meadow Drive. If Total
Beauty Centre is allowed this sign, then all the businesses on the
second tier of shops in the Vail Village Inn commercial area
should be allowed to have a sign at this entrance. To allow the
approximate ten retail spaces to have signs at this entrance would
create unnecessary sign clutter. For this reason, it is felt that
a variance is warranted for the awning signage, but not for the
hanging sign.
B. That special circumstances were not created by the applicant or
anyone in privy to the applicant:
.Special-circumstances-were not created by the applicant.
C. That the granting of the variance will be in general harmony with
the purposes of this title, and will not be materially detrimental
to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent
property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in
general.
Staff Response:
Generally,-. the proposed signage is in harmony with the purposes of
this title whictr-state in Section 16.16.010, that "sign location,
configuration, design, materials and colors should be harmonious
with the majestic-mountain setting and the alpine village scale of
the town." Staff agrees that the signage is very tastefully done,
however there is concern with the 3 square foot sign being located
in the covered entry way into the second level of shops. Our
opinion is that signage should be located in the area of the
business and should not be scattered throughout a project to
direct a pedestrian to the business. A variance is warranted for
the awning, which is a request that will still be in compliance
with the sign code in the sense that the signage is located at the
entrance to the shop. Staff cannot support the request for the
sign in the covered entry way of the Vail Village Inn Phase II -
commercial area.
-3-
:'y A
D. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of
this title any more than is reauired to_identifv the applicant's
business or use.
Staff R~!spon,'se: S
In-respect to the awning, it is felt that the requested signage is
necessary to.-identify the applicant's business. However-; the sign
in the covered entryway does go beyond the amount of signage that
is really necessary to identify the business.
III. Such other factors and criteria as the Design Review Board deems
applicable to the proposed variance.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff supports the variance for the awning, however, we are unable
to support the request for the additional sign in the covered entryway.
For this reason, the staff recommends _denial-of--the.variance request.
We would recommend to the applicant that a joint use directory be placed
adjacent to the covered entryway up to the second level of shops at Vail
Village Inn to direct pedestrians into this area. The purpose of this
type of sign is "to list all tenants within a multi-tenant building and
.to guide the pedestrian to an individual tenant within the building."
(Section 16.20.040) This approach to the visibility-problems.for the
businesses on the second level of the Vail Village Inn commercial area
will provide additional signage for all the shops on the second level in
a manner that will not create sign clutter. The staff prefers this
approach to the alternative of allowing many of these businesses to
locate individual signs out on the East Meadow Drive entryway.

Mr. Paul R. Johnston, Mayor
TOWN OF VAIL
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657 -
Dear Mr. Johnston:
Thank you for your correspondence pertaining to several bills
with ramifications for municipalities which we're considering
this session.
In regard to Senate Bill 45 which addresses "Annexation of
Land by Municipalities," I understand your position and will
continue to monitor this proposal to make sure the amendments
are consistent with your needs.
Senate Bill 60 concerning "Vested Property Rights" has passed
in the Senate and should be on the House calendar soon. I am
in agreement with the analysis you sent, and you can count on
me to:work against it.
As far as House Bill 1146 is concerned, there's no question
that a two-year moratorium on municipal annexation would not
be good economic policy, and I will oppose it also.
Please contact me whenever I can be of service. I hope you
stop by the Capitol if you're down here for a visit during
session.
Si cerely,
Dan Williams

ORDINANCE NO. 8
Series of 1987
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3.48 LAND TRANSFER TAX
OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF VAIL TO PROVIDE
THAT THE MONEY IN THE LAND TRANSFER TAX FUND MAY BE
USED FOR IMPROVING AS WELL AS ACQUIRING REAL PROPERTY
FOR PARKS, RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND/OR SIMILAR
PURPOSES; SETTING FORTH CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE
USE OF SAID FUND FOR IMPROVING REAL PROPERTY AND
SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO.
WHEREAS, the Land Transfer Tax Ordinance presently provides that the funds
received by the Town pursuant to the tax shall be subject to appropriation for
acquiring real property for parks, recreation, open space and/or similar purposes;
and
WHEREAS, the Town Council has received input from the general public that it
makes sense to use the Transfer Tax not only for the acquisition of open space,
recreation and park land, but also for the improvement of such land; and
WHEREAS, the Town Council believes that such an amendment would benefit the
welfare of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Town Council of the Town of Vail,
Colorado, that:
Section 1.
Section 3.48.040 Amount Payable, subparagraph B, is hereby amended to read as
follows:
"Where the consideration shall exceed five hundred dollars ($500), the Land
Transfer Tax payable shall be one (1) percent of the consideration, the proceeds of
which tax shall be earmarked for acquisition AND IMPROVEMENT of real property
including paying incidental costs and the principle of and interest on any borrowing
for the acquisition, such property to be located either within or without the limits
of the Town."
Section 2.
Section 3.48.090 Land Transfer Tax Fund is hereby repealed and reenacted with
amendments to read as follows
"A. All funds received by the Town pursuant to this Chapter shall be deposited
in the Land Transfer Tax Fund, which fund is hereby created. The fund shall be
subject to appropriation only for the following purposes: acquiring and improving
real property, for parks, recreation, open space and/or similar purposes, including
paying incidental costs and the principle of and interest on any borrowing for the
acquisition.
B. Should the Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund be used for the construction of a
building, no more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of the cost of such
building may be financed. The costs of any such building exceeding five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) must be paid for solely with cash on hand. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be deemed to limit in any way the ability to use the Real
Estate Transfer Tax Fund to finance the acquisition of land or the construction of
improvements other than buildings.
The five hundred thousand dollar ($500,000) limitation set forth herein
shall increase proportionately each year as the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer
Price Index (U.S. City Average for all Urban Consumers, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Denver) increases from the previous year's index.
C. For the purposes of this Chapter, building shall mean any structure having
a roof supported by columns or walls, or any other enclosed structure for the
housing of persons, animals, or property."
Section 3.
If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance
is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of
the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it
would have passed this ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence,
clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts,
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 4.
The Town Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this ordinance is
necessary and proper for the health, safety and welfare of the Town of Vail and the
inhabitants thereof.
Section 5.
The repeal or the repeal and reenactment of any provision of the Vail Municipal
Code as provided in this ordinance shall not affect any right which has accrued, any
duty imposed, any violation that occurred prior to the effective date hereof, any
prosecution commenced, nor any other action or proceedings as commenced under or by
virtue of the provision repealed or repealed and reenacted. The repeal of any
provision hereby shall not revive any provision or any ordinance previously repealed
or superseded unless expressly stated herein.
