DATE: May 19, 1987
SUBJECT: Appeal of a Planning Commission approval of setback
and site coverage variances in order to construct
additions to a primary/secondary residence located on
_ Lot 3, Block 1, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: Jerome A. Lewis
APPELLANT: Mr. Steve Berkowitz
On April 27, 1987, the Planning Commission approved one side
and three front setback variances and a site coverage variance
for additions to a primary/secondary residence. The applicant
requested these variances to construct garages and additions to
both the primary and the secondary units. The request is to
add two 2-car garages and additional square footage, including
footage permitted under Ordinance 4 of 1985 (which permits up
to 250 additional square footage to dwellings which are at
least five years old).
Staff recommendation was for denial. The staff felt that the
amount of encroachment and site coverage could be reduced and
felt that the proposal would have a negative impact upon the
neighborhood. The staff also felt that to grant these
variances would be a grant of special privilege.
Jim Viele moved and Sid Schultz seconded the motion to approve
the requested variances, stating that the strict interpretation
of the zone code would deprive the applicant of privileges
enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the area. The
vote was 5-0 in favor, with one abstention.

FROM: Community Development Department "
C DATE: April 27, 1987
SUBJECT: A request for front and side setback variances and a
site coverage variance in order to contruct garages and
additions to a primary/secondary residence located on
Parcels A and B, Lot 3, Block l, Vail Village First
Filing.
Applicant: Jerome A. Lewis
I. DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCES REQUESTED
The applicant is requesting these variances to construct
garages and additions to the primary/secondary residence.
The request is to add to each unit a 2-car garage and
" additional square footage, including 250 square feet as
permitted under Ordinance 4 of 1985. The existing structures
are nonconforming as they are already above their allowed
GRFA and encroach into the rear setback by 4 feet.
The applicant presented the proposal at the April 20th PEC
meeting, and asked to table in order to verify GRFA
statistics. He has reduced the GRFA request with the result
that he no longer needs variances to GRFA, landscaping, or
rear or stream setback requirements.

II. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.61.060 of
the municipal code, the Department of Community Development
recommends denial based upon the following factors:
~
.
Consideration of Factors:
C The relationship of the req_uested variance to other existin
or potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
1. Front and Side Setbacks
Although the encroachments have been reduced, the staff
believes the garage to the east could be moved further
north and west to avoid setback variances. The garage
- is being pulled into the setback due to the proposed
location of the additional square footage. It is felt
that the proposed encroachments have a negative impact
upon the neighborhood. -
,2. Site Coverage
It is this variance request which the staff feels will
have the most impact upon the neighborhood. The site
coverage has been reduced from the previous proposal of
33% to 27% The effects have been partially mitigated
by berming the easterly garage and placing a patio over
it. However, the staff feels that it is important on a
lot of this size (12,583) that there is no more site
coverage than the maximum in order to maintain adequate
open space.
~ The degree to which relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of a specified re ulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privileqe.
1. Setbacks
While it may not be possible to build 2 garages that do
not encroach at all into the front setback, staff
believes that the encroachments can be reduced if the
additional square footage is added to the site in areas
that will not create the need for setback variances.
2. Site Coverage
As stated earlier, it is vital on a lot of this size to
follow the Town of Vail development standards,
particularly with regard to Ordinance 4. It is true
that the garages contibute to the excess site coverage.
However, the 250 s.f. additions also contribute to the
site coverge which is a grant of special privilege.
. ,
. C The effect of the requested variance on li ht and air,
distribution of population, transportation and traffic
facilities, public facilities and utilities, and ublic
safety.
This proposal would have no effect on the above factors.
- Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems
applicable to the proposed variance. _
III. FINDINGS
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the
following findings before granting a variance:
That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant
of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on
other properties classified in the same district.
That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to
the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious
to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
~ That the variance is warranted for one or more of the
following reasons:
' The strict or literal interpretation or enforcement of
the specified regulation would result in practical
difficultly or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance
that do not apply generally to other properties in the
same zone.
The strict interpretation or enforcement of the
specified regulation would deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in
the same district.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department staff recommends denial
of the requested variances. Though the Town passed Ordinance
4 to allow extra density of 250 square feet, the ordinance
specifically addressed the fact that in granting this extra
density, proposals would be reviewed closely with respect to
~
4
, .
site planning, impact on adjacent properties and applicable
Town of Vail development standards. Staff feels that the
development proposed must conform more closely to existing
C development guidelines as outlined in the zoning code and in
Ordinance 4.
We also believe that the garages are an improvement to the
site. However, it is staff's opinion that the garages could
be sited in a manner that would minimize if not negate the
need for setback variances.
