j• TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 11, 1990
RE: A request to apply the underlying zone district of High
Density Multi-Family to Special Development District
No. 7 (Marriott Mark Resort) 714 West Lionshead Circle,
Lots 4, 7, C, D, Block 1, Vail-Lionshead 3rd Filing.
Applicant: MK Corporation, Mark Lodge Condominiums,
and the Mark Resort and Tennis Club.
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
At the April 23, 1990 Planning and Environmental work
session on proposed amendments to SDD No. 7, the PEC
.recommended that an underlying zone district be clearly
identified for this Special Development District. The
Planning and Environmental Commission made this request of
the applicant in order to clarify the underlying zone
district. An underlying zone district is defined in Section
18.40.020, Definitions D as:
"Underlying Zone District" shall mean the zone district
existing on the property, or imposed on the property at
the time that the Special Development District is
approved.
As stated in previous memos, there is some question as to
what the underlying zoning was when this Special Development
District was approved in 1977. (Please see Section II for
background on underlying zone district staff research.)
A second reason for applying HDMF zoning to the entire
Special Development District is to allow for the timeshare
use. The HDMF zone district is the only zone district
within the Town of Vail that allows timeshare as a
conditional use. In Section 18.40.070 Uses of the Special
Development District it states:
Determination of permitted, conditional and accessory
uses shall be made by the Planning and Environmental
commission and Town Council as a part of the formal
review of the proposed development plan. Unless
further restricted by the review of the proposed
Special Development District, permitted, conditional ,
and accessory uses shall be limited to those permitted,
conditional and accessory uses in a properties
underlvina zone district...
1
In summary, the purpose of applying HDMF zoning to the
property is to clarify the underlying zone district for the
entire SDD, allow for the timeshare use specifically for the
56 unit timeshare expansion, and to also provide a guide for
any future proposals that may be submitted to the Town.
II. ~ACKGROU~ID RESEARCH ON xYi~ UNDERLYING ~ONF STRICT FOR SDD
NO. 7 '
The staff has pieced together a sequence of events relating
to the Marriott Mark Resort property. We must emphasize
that this information was taken from the Community
Devel..r.~ent Department file and is not conclusive. Below is
a summary of this research.
1973 The Mark Resort constructed 74 hotel rooms and 14
condominium apartments. This original development
(east building) is referenced as having HDMF
zoning in an Environmental Impact Report prepared
by John Ryan dated January, 1977 (pg 36). A
building permit dated May 31, 1973 also references
HDMF zoning.
1977 Ordinance 3 of 1977 rezones Lots 4 and 7 and a
. portion of Lots 5 and 6, Block 2 Vail Lionshead
3rd Filing from Public Accommodation and HDMF to
Special Development District to allow the
development of the site "in a more innovative
manner". However, in reviewing planner staff zone
checks in the file, Lot 4 is referenced as having
HDMF, Lot 5 - HDMF, and Lot 7 -Public
Accommodation zoning. Lots 4 and 5 relate to the
western portion of the Mark property while Lot 7
appears to be the original lot for the very first
building on the eastern portion of the site.
1977 A resubdivision of Lot 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, Block 1,
Lionshead 3rd Filing was approved by the Planning
and Environmental Commission. Please note that
the block references are different for the SDD
Ordinance and for the resubdivision
1978 A building permit was released for the Mark Resort
and Tennis club which has been referred to as
Phase I (second building to the west).
1981 Ordinance No. 25 of 1981 approved a specific
development plan for Phase II which allowed for
the construction of the convention center, parking
structure, two additional tennis courts and
allowed 8 fireplaces in 8 dwelling units.
2
i
1981 The building permit for the devel.,r~.ent approved
Ordinance No. 25, commonly called Phase II was
released.
1985 The request for timesharing for Phase II was
denied by the Planning Staff. This request
proceeded to Planning Commission and the applicant
tabled indefinitely.
From this research, it appears that the Special Development
District actually had two underlying zone districts. The
eastern Lot 7 had been Public Accommodation Zoning.
However, this conflicts with John Ryan's reference to Lot 7
as being zoned HDMF in his EIR. Lots 4 and 5 which are to
the west of Lot 7 appear to have been zoned HDMF.
Staff also contacted John Ryan, who prepared the original
EIR in 1977, Jim Lamont who was on the Planning Staff when
the Marriott Mark was reviewed in 1977, Danny Corcoran,
surveyor of Eagle Valley Engineering and Tom Briner,
architect for the Marriott Resort and Tennis Club in order
to find out any additional zoning information.
In discussing the issue with Jim Lamont, he stated that
everything before 1974 had zoning. He also agreed that the
site probably had either Public Accommodation or HDMF zoning
originally or a combination thereof. The other persons
contacted where unable to provide the staff with any
definitive underlying zoning information.
Suffice it to say, that the property appears to have been
zoned HDMF. In the zoning analysis section of the memo,
staff has compared the proposed SDD to HDMF and Public
Accommodation zoning. The major difference is that Public
Accommodation zoning allows for a GRFA maximum of 180,164
sq. ft. while HDMF allows for 135,123 sq. ft. In respect to
parking, HDMF states that 75$ of the parking must be in a
building or screened while PA zoning states that 75$ of the
required parking shall be located within the main building
and hidden from public view. In all other respects, the two
zone districts have basically the same requirements.
III. BONING COMPARISON
The Special Development District has been compared to HDMF
and Public Accommodation zoning in Chart 2. Because the
request is for underlying HDMF zoning, the staff comments
will relate specifically to this zone district.' (Please
note all calculations include the l0 employee housing
units) .
3
The existing Special Development District and the proposed
SDD both exceed the HDMF maximum allowance of 25 units per
acre. The existing SDD has 34.2 units and the proposed SDD
would have 47 units per acre.
In respect to GRFA, HDMF allows 135,123 sq. ft. The
existing SDD is slightly under this amount while the
proposed SDD exceeds the HDMF GRFA limit by 70,077 sq. ft.
The HDMF zone district allows 128 dwelling unite for the
site. The existing SDD has 177 dwelling units and the
proposed SDD would have 243 dwelling units.
The height maximum for HDMF is 48 .feet. The existing SDD
has a height of approximately 85 feet while the new SDD
expansion area will pot exceed 48 feet. In respect to site
coverage and landscaping, both the existing SDD and the
proposed SDD exceed the minimum requirements of HDMF. The
site coverage maximum is 55$ for HDMF. The proposed SDD has
45$ site coverage. The landscaping minimum fs 30$ of the
site. With the existing SDD 63$ of the site fs landscaped
and with the proposed SDD 55$ remains as landscaping.
In respect to setbacks, 20 feet is required on all sides of
the property. The built SDD encroaches into the setbacks in
some areas. The new proposal on the west side of the
property does not encroach into the 20 foot setback except
on the western property line where the existing parking
structure (setback of 5'j is extended to the south.
All parking requirements are met per the Town of Vail
parking code with the allowance of 5 valet parking spaces.
Each timeshare unit has 2 spaces and each employee unit has
1.5 spaces.
IV. EVALUATION OF UNDERLYING HDMF ZONE DISTRICT FOR SPECIAL
pEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 7
A. suitability of the mFoDOSed zoning.
The existing zoning is Special Development District for
this site. A specific underlying zone district is not
identified in the SDD ordinance. For the purpose of
clarity, it is appropriate to apply underlying HDMF
zoning to the entire SDD. The intent fs to not tamper
in any way with the existing development on the site
but to ,provide an underlying zone district that can be
used as a guide for the review of any future proposals.
4
In addition, it is appropriate to apply HDMF due to the
request for timesharing for the proposed expansion by
the applicant. Timesharing would not be approved for
any other portion of the SDD unless the applicant
requested to amend the SDD in the future.
B. ~s the amend~gnt presentina a convenient. workable
relationship within land uses co~stent with municipal
Qbiect~ves.
Staff prepared a chart titled "Development Analysis" in
order to compare the proposed SDD with surrounding
- properties. As indicated by this chart, there are a
number of properties developed beyond what is proposed
on the Marriott site such as the Antlers, Landmark,
Vantage Point, Montaneros, Lionsquare Lodge and the
Doubletree Hotel. Staff believes that the proposal is
in concert with many of the policies outlined in the
Land Use Plan. The site is identified as being in the
Resort Accommodation mod. Rervice CateaorY defined
below:
This area includes activities aimed at
accommodating the overnight and short term visitor
to the area. Primary uses include hotels, lodges,
service stations, and parking structures (with
densities up to 25 dwelling units or 50
accommodation units per buildable acre). These
areas are oriented toward vehicular access from I-
70, with other support commercial and business
services included. Also allowed in this category,
would be institutional uses and various municipal
uses.
(Please see Special Development District Memo
concerning this project and its relation to the Land
Use Plan and surrounding neighborhood).
In the Land Use Plan analysis, a development scenario
was selected based on market demands and the desires of
the citizenry. The Plan states (page 30):
The public input had shown a general satisfaction
with the location of existing land uses, which was
used as the foundation for the preferred
development alternative... The most important
goals culled from the public meetings were used to
formulate the Trends Alternative. These key goals
are as follows:
5
A. ~~~..,ercial Uses .
2) C~~.~~~~~.ercial growth should be concentrated
primarily in existing commercial areas
to accommodate both local and visitor
needs.
3) New hotels should continue to be located
primarily in the Village and Lionshead
areas.
C. village/Lionshead Core Areas
1) Increased density for commercial,
residential and lodging uses in the Core
areas would be acceptable so long as the
existing character of each area is being
preserved.
This proposal supports the Land Use. Plan "key goals" in
that the expansion occurs in an already developed area
of Lionshead, the uses proposed support the desire for
timeshare, and the design of the proposal is respectful
of surrounding properties and the character of the West
Lionshead Circle area.
C. goes the rezor}ina provide for the growth of an orderly,,
y~able community?
The staff believes that the Special Development
District expansion does provide for the orderly
development of the community. We believe that the
project enhances many of the community's goals outlined
in the Land Use Plan a The time share use is also
specifically called out in the Land Use Plan. The
suitability of this property for infill development is
discussed in detail in the SDD memo in respect to
traffic, density, design etc. which all relate to
"orderly development."
ZV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends approval of the application of the High
Density Multi Family zone district as an underlying zone
district to the Special Development District No. 7. We
believe it meets all of the three criteria for a zoning
review. the Fec...~....er~dation for approval is conditional upon
the SDD amendment being approved.

C'I'E July 5, 1990 FILE:WP50JOW23E.2~gEM
As a follow-up to our recent hearing I wanted to provide additional
information to the Council concerning the timesharing industry in
general and Marriott timesharing specifically.
Our proceeding on June 19 covered many issues and a relatively new
concept for most of the Council members. Accordingly, the amount of
~i:ime we had did not afford an opportunity for me to fully explain
or document the programs and facts that we feel makes our
timesharing operations both unique and superlative. I would
therefore like to provide some salient facts about our organization
and industry to more fully inform you about things we feel makes
~'-~e Mark Marriott ti~asharing project a good fit for Vail.
~;>_y is Marriott in the timesharing business? This is generally the
first question we are asked in municipal presentations. The answer
is quite simple. Timesharing under the leadership of Marriott and
other major companies such as Hilton, ITT-Sheraton, Disney and
Radisson has shed most of its previous poor image. It has emerged
to consumers and developers in recent years as a respectable
business opportunity especially for hotel and resort operators. It
has many positive advantages that have captured the attention of
large development organizations, as well as hoteliers:
_ o It is a logical extension of the hospitality business.
o The skills and services needed to provide customer
satisfaction are patently similar to hotels.
o Timesharing sells seasons and periods through the
entire year bolstering periods of low occupancy.
o The timesharing customer closely matches the resort
hotel guest profile..upscale, and vacation minded.
o The timeshare experience is repetitive yet cyclic...
it creates brand loyalty.
o The exchange and rental functions bring tourists to
the resort area that might not come otherwise. .
~ i
~
~i _ _
.C' _iv
i
o ~'he iridus try has reached world-wide proportions o, ith
2600 resorts throughout the world in over 40',countries.
~1't~ere ar_-e presently over 1, 600 timesharing resorts in
the United States alone. '
o There are presently over 2.5 million American families
that own timesharing interests. This represents a
significant portion of the upscale consumer market,
and stands as testimony to the acceptance of the
product.
i
o The industry has emerged from uncertainty and largely
overcome the marketing abuses that tainted early years.
o The industry is now controlled with meariin~gful State
and Federal legislation. Forty seven States in the U.S.
have specific timeshare statutes.
o With numerous successful SEC offerings and wide-spread
:+-eceivables financing through major financial
institutions, -the industry has been accepted by the
investment community as a viable financial vehicle.
o Press in recent years has acknowledged by the tenor of
recent articles that timesharing is a second home
alternative for the 1990's and beyond.
o The extensive advertising used in promoting,
the timesharing product creates impact that,
benefits the market area at all economic levels.
o It presents a business opportunity for revenue and
profits at acceptable risk levels
All of the above reasons bear on the Marriott decision to enter the
timesharing field. They are further re-enforced by Marriott's
leadership position in hotel and resort management. We clearly are
in the dominant role in the timesharing industry today,~by virtue
of our entry into the business five years ago.
Some specific facts that enhance Marriott's participation in the
timesharing industry are:
o Our hotels that operate with ancillary timesharing
facilities have found that the Marriott timesharing
owner is a congruent fit with the hotel guest profile. -
,v.
..:~Z 1 1 r~^~.~._
o We have no~~~ seen that the timeshare owner does in
fact augment our food and beverage business as well
as positively influence occupancy.
o jve have established viable rental and resale programs
in our timesharing strategic business plan.
o We are able to take advantage of the positioning of
Marriott operations in preferred market areas.
o The use of hotel facilities and tie-ins such as front
desk services gives us a competitive edge and sets the
consumer's perceived values at higher levels.
o Our highly successful Honored Guest Award Program
dovetails with both hotel and timesharing
operations.
Looking to the record of what we have accomplished, I have a listed
k •low r-?sarts that we have sold out, have in sales, or have ~.n
various stages of active development at this time:

The properties listed reflect timesharing sales in excess of
$175,000,000 million dollars since Marriott entered timesharing in
1984. This represents 400 units completed and the.sale'of 20,000
interval weeks. The resorts we have under development and in
planning stages shown on the above list total an additional 1,100+
units with a retail sales potential of over $400,000,000.

considering that all owners sampled were from east
coast. Palm Desert owners not included in survey
since not officially on MORI owner roles in 1989.
For your review I have attached articles from major newspapers and
national magazines regarding timesharing and its general posture in
the eyes of the press. These articles represent independent
positions. I have however also attached some recent trade
publication articles on Marriott which reflects some of the resort
activity mentioned in this memo.
You will also note that I have attached two letters from key
business people on Hilton Head Island. These letters reflect the
sentiments about Marriott Ownership Resorts in the local
community. these individuals could be contacted for references if
deemed necessary or appropriate by Council members.

Dear Mr. Lagos:
When Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. asked me to comment on the
inter-relationship of Marriott's ownership resorts, the real
estate community, and the community at large, it was an
assignment I accepted with pleasure.
Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island is the Island's
original plantation community, and set the standard for gated
communities all over the country. As a small and selective
community, Sea Pines Plantation is particularly sensitive to the
balance of its residential, resort and commercial components.
Marriott's initial vacation ownership resort, Monarch at Sea
Pines, proved to be not only a complement to our most prestigious
oceanfront neighborhood of private homes and villas, but also the
source of business for The Sea Pines Real Estate Companies, of •
which I am president. Our companies specialize in Plantation
properties, with particular emphasis on Sea Pines Plantation. In
1987 we were responsible for approximately $175 million in sales:
one half of all MLS sales recorded on Hilton Head Island.
A portion of that business derives from Monarch owners who were

attracted to Hilton Head Island as short-term residents, fell in
love With the Island, and elected to make it a longer-term base:
either as permanent or second-home residents. Their demographics
are in keeping with our typical Sea Pines Plantation property
owner, whose profile is upscale in income, education, and _
sophistication. The transition from vacation owner to permanent
resident has been a pleasant one for everyone concerned.
Monarch generates other sources of real estate business. '
Approximately 75~ of the people who come to the Island to look at
Monarch elect instead to look at longer-range property ownership.
And guests of Monarch's owners often take the occasion to
investigate the purchase of Island property.
The constant maintenance and updating of Marriott ownership
properties is a key point in their attractiveness to neighboring
property owners, to the value of their property, and to the
community as a whole. Marriott's maintenance and management
standards are exemplary.
Marriott's newest ownership resort, Heritage Club at Harbour'Town
[also in Sea Pines Plantation] is very much in keeping with fits
neighbors at one of the most prestigious yacht basin developments
on the East Coast. The demographics of its owners are, to the
best of my knowledge, the highest of any ownership resort in'the
country.
We look forward to serving the continuing number of people who
will be attracted to the Island by Marriott, and who will
eventually elect to make it their home. ~

TO: IGtISTAN PRITZ II
FROM: r'r.YER JAMAR
DATE: JULY 10, 1990
RE: MARRIOTT MARK RESORT EXPANSION AND
RENOVATION - SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT #7
As a result of the Town Council's review of the project and in
response to several suggestions made by members of the Town
Council we would like to propose the following four revisions,
c~.??.,.itments, and clarifications.
1. GRFA. The previous GRFA total proposed was 67,200 square
feet, excluding the 4,000 square feet for the ten employee
units. After further study and analysis of the floor plans
we propose to reduce this total to 58,800 square feet.
2. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES OF EXISTING HOTEL EXTERIOR. It has
been suggested that, in addition to our previous c,,.....,.itment
to repaint the exterior of the existing hotel, we study
possible alteration of the balconies in order to improve the
building's appearance. We feel that this is an excellent
suggestion and we are investigating various design
solutions. We will have a specific design to propose in the
next few days.
3. TIMESHARING. Due to several questions regarding the
timeshare nature of the expansion we have prepared an
informational memorandum addressing specific questions.
This memorandum is attached and can be included in this
week's Town Council packet.

4. Sri TURN LANE. Asa point of clarification, we fully
understand that if for some reason an overall funding
strategy for Frontage Road improvements is not established
prior to issuance of our C.O., we may be responsible for
100$ of the cost of the left turn lane off of Frontage Road
to West Lionshead Circle with aright of reimbursement for
costs exceeding "our fair share" at some future date should
an overall funding mechanism be put into place.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these five
items or any other aspect of the project.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 11, 1990
RE: A request for a major amendment to Special Development
District No. 7 (The Marriott Mark Resort) in order to
add 56 timeshare units and 10 employee housing units at
714 West Lionshead Circle, Lot 4, 7, C, D, Block 1,
Vail-Lionshead 3rd Filing.
Applicant: MK Corporation, Kaiser Marcus, and the
Marriott Corporation
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Protiosal
Below is a summary of the proposal:
56 timeshare units each having 1200 sq. ft. for a
total of 67,200 sq. ft. of GRFA. One week
timeshare intervals are proposed for each unit (50
intervals/unit/year). All timeshare units shall
meet Town of Vail Ordinances governing timeshare.
` 10 employee units at 400 sq. ft. each for a total
of 4000 sq. ft. of GRFA. Units are permanently
restricted as employee housing.
Replace two of the western most tennis courts with
landscaping to create an open green space area.
Landscape improvements around the pool area.
` Pedestrian path connections for general public use
throughout the project.
" Pocket Park for public seating adjacent to the
Lionshead Recreational Path located on Town of
Vail property.
127 additional parking spaces which provides 2
spaces per dwelling unit and 1.5 spaces per
employee unit per Town of Vail code. 5 spaces are
valet. Landscaped terraces are proposed to cover
the parking.
Regrading and revegetation of hillside adjacent to
Town of Vail Recreation Path along Gore Creek.
1
" No wood-burning fireplaces are proposed for any of
the units.
This addition would be located on the west end of the
property and built primarily over the existing parking
structure.
Since the Planning and Environmental Commission review
of the proposal on April 9, 1990, the following changes
have been made:
" Decreased timeshare units from 57 to 56 units.
" Decreased GRFA from 74,205 sq. ft. to 71,200 sq.
ft. for a net decrease of 3,005 sq. ft.
" Decreased height from 58 to 48 feet.
" Increase in employee units from 8 to 10, units.
" Commitment to participate on a fair-share basis in
the provision of a west bound turn-lane on the
South Frontage Road.
" C,...W.itment to repaint the entire existing Marriott
Complex to compliment the new building.
" Significant changes to the massing and
architectural style of the expansion.
" Completely enclosed parking area on west
elevation.
These changes were made in response to comments from
the Planning and Environmental Commission as well as
adjacent property owners.
As outlined in the SDD section of the zoning code, the
following nine criteria are to be used in evaluating
the merit of the Special Development District. It is
the burden of the applicant to demonstrate that
submittal material and the proposed development plan
comply with each of the following standards or
demonstrate that one or more of them is not applicable,
or that a practical solution consistent with the public
interest has been achieved.

II. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA
A. Design comtiatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment. neighborhood and adjacent tiromerties
relative to architectural design. scale. bulk. building
height. buffer zones. identity. character, visual
integrity and orientation.
The Planning and Environmental Commission, staff, and
adjacent property owners had concerns about the height
and mass of the building. In response to these
comments, the applicant has decreased the height from
58 to 48 feet. The mass of the project has been
centered in the existing parking structure footprint.
As with the original proposal, the mass and height of
the proposed expansion have been designed to "step-
down" from the existing 7-story hotel to a three to
four story element along Gore Creek.
3
it
I
In respect to setbacks, on the south side "Gore Creek ~
side", the new building maintains a 20 ft. to 43 ft.
setback. On the side of the project adjacent to the
Vail Associates parking lot, the expansion of the
parking structure would continue an existing 5 foot
setback. The actual timeshare building on the
southwest corner of the property maintains a minimum 20
foot setback. The north side or west Lionshead Circle
side of the project maintains a 35' setback:
i
View studies have been completed from a variety of
vantage points. The addition conceals the existing
parking structure and eliminates any open parking on
the site except for a few spaces on the north
elevation. The addition of any new structure will have
some degree of impact on views. There are no major
negative impacts on views from public spaces. When
walking along west Lionshead Circle in front of the
project, instead of seeing exposed cars, one will view
a three story building. The view analysis indicates
that the vantage points from the interstate~,and the
Frontage Road are not affected greatly. The view of
the Mountain and ski slopes is substantially
maintained. There are some impacts on views from the
Antlers (looking towards Red Sandstone Mountain), the
residential area along Forest Road (looking'Itoward
Potato Patch), and the Vail Spa (looking toward Vail
Mountain). From these vantage points, the proposed
building is blocking either a view of the existing
parking structure or other commercial or residential
development. Obstruction of views of undeveloped
mountain sides does occur in some areas.
By terracing the building down to Gore Creek to relate
to the lower density development on Forest Road and
also the public recreational path and stream corridor,
the applicant has responded to view concerns raised by
the public at previous reviews by lowering the height
of the building by 10 feet.
The architecture of the proposed addition does not
mimic the existing hotel. Instead, the applicant
proposes to relate the two buildings by the 'use of
complimentary colors. The applicant has agreed to
repaint the entire existing Marriott project in a
manner which will compliment the proposed expansion.
i
4
` B. Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible,
efficient and workable ~elationshiu with surrounding
uses and activity.
Density
The residential uses proposed for this facility are
consistent and compatible with surrounding development.
Located in the Lionshead area, overnight lodging
acc~..~.odations are appropriate for this site. One of
Vail's major mixed use activity centers, Lionshead is
centrally located and well served by the Towns transit
system. At the present time, the site is developed to
approximately 34.2 units per acre. The development
proposed with this amendment would increase the site
density to approximately 47 units per acre (this
includes the 10 employee units). This level of
development exceeds that permitted by the Town's
highest density residential district (PA or HDMF, 25
dwelling units per acre). However, 47 units per acre
is not unprecedented. The Lionsquare Lodge is
developed at 55 units per acre, the Antlers is at 60.5
units per acre, the Doubletree is 51 units per acre,
and Vantage Point is at 71 units per acre. The Vail
Spa directly to the north is at 17.2 units per acre and
the Enzian is at 31.4 units per acre. However, looking
only at units/acre misses many important planning
issues. The relationship of the building to the site
and surrounding neighborhood is extremely important.
Staff believes this project relates positively to the
specific site and surrounding neighbors.
The density proposed for this site is much greater than
the low density development on the south side of Gore
Creek. Gore Creek provides a natural buffer between
the low density residential development along Forest
Road and the entire Lionshead area. This open space
provides an adequate buffer between these two
residential areas. Gore Creek also serves as a natural
barrier defining the physical limits of the Lionshead
core area. Please see the attached chart indicating
the existing development on adjacent properties
attached to the zoning memo.
Timeshare
The proposed timeshare use is acceptable to staff.
Timeshare would only be allowed in the new west
building through this amendment. Any additional
timeshare would require that the applicant amend the
SDD. This use is encouraged by the Land Use Plan. The
applicant has agreed to comply with all conditions of
5
Town of Vail Ordinances governing timeshare. Timeshare
projects generally retain a higher year round occupancy
than any other tourist accommodation use and this use
fits well within Vail's policies to level off
seasonalities of guest visits.
Em~lovee Housincr
Originally, the staff requested seven employee housing
units. The applicant is proposing 10 units or 17.8$.
The Housing Task Force is discussing a possibility of a
20$ or greater housing requirement for SDDs: The
Marriott proposal has been evolving at the same time
that the Housing Task Force has been refining its
policy recommendations. The staff opinion is that the
applicant is providing 10 high quality employee units,
permanently restricted. We believe the applicant has
taken the staff's original request of seven units
(March 1990) and increased the amount to l0~units which
is appropriate for this SDD. The 56 timeshare units
will generate an employee demand of 5 to 7 additional
employees. This is due in part to the fact that the
existing Marriott will provide most of the services for
the timeshare project. The employee demand generated
by the expansion is met by the 10 units.
C. Compliance with parking and loading requirements as
outlined in Chapter 18.52.
Assuming 1.5 parking space for each of the 10 employee
units, and two parking spaces for each of the 56
timeshare units (as per zoning requirements), the new
parking requirement for the proposed addition is 127
spaces. The expansion of the existing structure will
satisfy this requirement. To the best of staff's
knowledge, the parking required through previous
approvals has all been constructed (273 spaces).
As required by existing SDD No. 7 there are'to be 273
parking spaces on the Marriott property. As with any
property, the management and control of parking spaces
is critical to their efficient use. At the present
time, the westerly parking structure provides a very
inviting environment for illegal parking. Locating a
building over the structure should provide greater
control and increase efficiency in how these spaces are
utilized.
Two loading areas presently exist. Staff will also
require that the screening of loading areas~be
addressed by the applicant at DRB. In particular, the
loading area on West Lionshead Circle to the east of
the main hotel's entry must be landscaped and fenced.

D. Conformity with an~licable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan. Town t~olicies and Urban Desictn
Plans.
The Vail Land Use Plan is the most relevant
document to be used in evaluating this development
proposal. The project is consistent with a number
of goals outlined in this document:
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled
environment, maintaining a balance between
residential, commercial and recreational uses
to serve both the visitor and the permanent
resident.
1.3 The quality of development should be
maintained and upgraded whenever possible.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the
additional growth in existing developed areas
(infill areas).
2.1 The community should emphasize its role as a
destination resort while acc~....,.odating the'
visitors.
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is
acceptable so long as the existing character
is preserved through implementation of the
Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village
Master Plan.
5.1 Additional residential growth should continue
to occur primarily in existing, platted areas
and is appropriate in new areas where high
hazards do not exist.
5.2 Quality timeshare units should be
accommodated to keep occupancy rates up.
5.4 Residential growth should keep pace with the
market place demands for a full range of
housing types.
5.5 The existing employee housing base should be
preserved and upgraded. Additional employee
housing needs should be accommodated at
various sites throughout the community.
7
These goal statements provide the fundamental framework
to be used in determining whether or not additional
density is appropriate on this site. As reflected in
the above goals, this proposal is very consistent with
the direction provided in the Land Use Plan
*Please note that the Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plan
does not apply to this property.
E. ,~dPnfi.i.fica;ti.~n, anti m.i,tigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the
special development district is proposed.
This property is not affected by any natural and/or
geologic hazards that have been identified within the
Town of Vail.
F. Site plan. building design and location and open space
rr.ova.s.i..ons designed to produce a functionalldevelopment
responsive and sensitive to natural featuresi
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality oflthe
community.
The site planning for the addition has changed in that
a major portion of the addition has been centered over
the existing parking structure. The location of the
mass and bulk of the building in this area has allowed
the designer to reduce the height by ten feet. It has
also helped to reduce the building mass along Gore
Creek. A portion of the new development is proposed on
what is now undeveloped open space directly south of
the existing parking structure. Several aspens will be
removed to allow for the building. However; this open
space is generally not accessible and not an
aesthetically pleasing area.
A major element of the proposal's landscape plan is the
elimination of two tennis courts. Converting this area
to functional green space will more than off-set the
loss of open space south of the parking structure.
A major concern of the staff is the physical
relationship of the building addition to Gore Creek and
the recreational trail. Originally proposed at 5
stories and within 5 feet of the property line, the
addition would have seriously impacted the enjoyment of
this trail. The building is now 20-40 feet from the
rear property line. The building is approximately 50-
60 feet from the. recreational trail. The south facade
is three and four stories. The location and mass of
the building now provides for a comfortable
relationship with the recreational trail.
8
t.
G. A circulation system designed for both vehicles and
pedestrians addressing on and off-site traffic
circulation.
Improvements to the pedestrian circulation system
include a path connecting to the Gore Creek bike path,
a walkway through the proposed development connecting
the West Day Lot with other parts of Lionshead, and the
development of a sidewalk along West Lionshead Circle
connecting to an existing sidewalk on the South
Frontage Road. This improvement is located off the
applicants property. These improvements are designed
to serve not only the proposed development, but also to
improve pedestrian circulation throughout this area of
Lionshead. Staff would suggest that the applicant
include a pedestrian connection between the west day
lot and the lower level of the parking structure to
allow for easier pedestrian access. We would also ask
that the owner provide a public pedestrian easement
through the property.
Internal vehicular circulation will also be improved by
redesigning the existing parking structure. Currently
each level is accessed individually, resulting in
difficult circulation patterns. The proposed
modifications to the structure will introduce internal
circulation between the three levels of the structure.
An assessment of the potential traffic impacts of this
development has been included as a part of the
environmental impact report. A March 9 addendum to
this report indicates that a westbound left turn lane
off of the S. Frontage Road onto West Lionshead Circle
is needed today based on existing traffic volume.
Currently, 35 vehicles make this left turn during the
p.m. peak hour. This development would increase this
situation by 20$, to 42 vehicles during the p.m. peak
hour. Based on the State of Colorado Access Code, a
left turn lane is warranted with more than 30 turns per
hour.
Given the 20$ increase in this left turn activity,
there is no question that this improvement must be
completed before the proposed expansion receives a
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. However, the
Marriott addition is not the sole contributor to the
need for the left turn lane. Town buses, the West Day
Lot and a number of other properties are creating the
need for this lane. Because the Marriott is the "last
guy in the door" does not justify requiring them to
9
fund and construct 100$ of this improvement. The
Marriott is responsible for, and is willing to
contribute to, their fair share of the expense in
constructing this improvement.
There are a number of alternatives for how this
improvement can be implemented. The main issue with
each of these alternatives is with regard to the timing
of the improvement. The Town will be completing a
comprehensive transportation plan for the Frontage Road
this fall. It is very likely that this improvement
will be identified by this plan. However, the Town is
in no position to commit to funding or a specific
schedule would assure this improvement is in place
prior to completion of the Marriott facility.
This essentially puts the burden on the applicant to
develop some mechanism for assuring that the turn lane
is completed when the addition is finished. The
simplest way to accomplish this is for the Marriott to
fund 100 of this improvement. However, this is not an
equitable solution. Other alternatives involving the
participation of the Marriott, surrounding property
owners, and the Town are possible, and should be
explored to arrive at an equitable solution
H. Functional and aesthetic landsca~ina and omen space in
order to otitimize and tireserve natural features,
recreation, views and functions.
There are a number of significant improvements proposed
to landscaping and open space throughout this site.
Foremost among these is the conversion of two tennis
courts to green space areas, a pocket parkjpull off
area to be developed along the Gore Creek trail,
landscape improvements to the berm around the proposed
addition, and landscape improvements along Lionshead
Circle throughout the length of the property. These
changes will provide not only functional open space,
but also aesthetic improvements to the situ.
The pocket park is a positive addition. Staff would
like to see a picnic area added to the pocket park and
more landscaping. The developer has also agreed with
the staff's requirement that the stream bank be
" regraded and revegetated this summer. The drainage
walls and pipes will also be cleaned and integrated
into the slope.
I
10
,i
In addition, more landscaping is required along the
west elevation of the structure. A mix of aspens,
shrubs and evergreens is appropriate. Staff
acknowledges that the space for planting is only 5
feet. However, more landscaping and a variety of
materials are necessary.
I. ~hasinct elan or subdivision elan that will maintain a
workable, functional and efficient relationship
throucthout the development of the special development
district.
As proposed, the addition and all related site
improvements are to be completed in one construction
phase.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
The Environmental Impact Report prepared by Peter Jamar
Associates (Revised May 10, 1990) summarizes any impacts and
proposed mitigation on p. 32 of the report. The primary
impact areas relate to views, traffic, and the question of
additional density. These issues are reviewed by staff in
Sections IIA-Views, IIC & G-Traffic, and IIB-Density. All
mitigation measures proposed in the EIR shall be
incorporated into the SDD. •
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In evaluating this proposal, one must first consider the
fundamental question of whether or not additional
development should be considered in Lionshead on this site.
Based on the goals of the Vail Land Use Plan, it is
appropriate to consider a request of this nature. A number
of goal statements support the concept of timeshare units
and infill development in the Core areas. The task at hand
then, is to evaluate whether the design of this project is
sensitive to all applicable criteria outlined in the SDD
section of the zoning code.
A review of the SDD criteria indicates that this project is
consistent with the purpose and intent of this zone
district. A number of issues have been raised by the PEC
and staff during the review of this project. In each case
these concerns have been addressed by the applicant in a
manner that is consistent with the Design Criteria.
Parking, circulation, height and massing, view impacts,
employee housing, and landscaping/open space have all been
addressed by this development plan.
it
Staff must emphasis the uniqueness of the Marriott Mark
situation. There are very few sites within the Town of Vail
that have the capability to add this type of density. Staff
believes that there are unique characteristics related to
this site that make it possible to add a proposal of this
scale. Unique factors include:
1. The existing parking structure is in a location that
would actually be improved in appearance with this
expansion. The site is very well suited for infill
development. ~
2. The Lionshead area (excluding the Forest Road
neighborhood) has similar lodging uses, mass, bulk and
units per acre which are compatible with this type of
addition.
3. The applicant has maintained a 48 foot height which
does not exceed the limits of the Town's highest
density zone district (HDMF or Public Acc......:.odation
zoning).
4. The proposed use is in keeping with the Land Use plan
goals calling for additional timeshare units and other
Land Use policies as listed in Section IID of the memo.
5. The Environmental Impact Report and staff review have
not identified any major negative impacts with the
project. Any impacts that have been determined by the
environmental impact report have been mitigated in a
reasonable fashion.
6. The project meets parking, setbacks (except on the east
side by the parking structure), site coverage and
landscaping requirements. In fact, the minimum
requirements for site coverage and landscaping are
substantially exceeded by the project. ~
7. The site has good vehicular and pedestrian access.
Vehicular traffic will use the Frontage Road. It is
not necessary to access the site through a low density
residential neighborhood.
8. The site is located near all of the services and a
primary ski base area, Lionshead. It is very
appropriate to allow for infill developmentlin an area
that already has a wide variety of guest sea ices.
Staff feels it is critical to identify the uniqueness of
this special Development District to ensure that density
increases are not deemed automatically acceptable by using
the Special Development district process.
12
I
y It is also important to identify the "public benefit~~ which
results from this project. Below is a list of the benefits
which are derived from this proposal:
The substantial upgrade of landscaping on the
Marriott property as well as area adjacent to the
recreational path along Gore Creek owned by the
town of Vail.
The provision of public walkways along west
Lionshead Circle through the center of the
Marriott site from the West Day Lot.
` The entire repainting of the existing Marriott
Project to compliment the proposed expansion.
` Enclosure of the existing surface parking and the
addition of landscaped and open area above the
parking. This is achieved by the landscaped
terraces over the parking area as well as the
elimination of two tennis courts.
The provision of 10 employee housing units which
have been fully counted in the density and GRFA
for the project.
` The provision of additional high quality timeshare
units which diversify the existing unit type and
mix and provide Vail with additional destination
guests year-round per the Land Use plan goal 5.2.
Staff recommends approval of this proposed amendment with

Dear Charlie:
I am enclosing for your review revised fifth and
sixth amendments to the Town of Vail Employees' Pension Plan
and the Town of Vail Police and Fire Employees' Pension Plan.
The amendments contain the age 50 segregation right as
modified by our discussions which permits that a segregated
account will be invested as determined by the Trustee with the
consent of the participant.
In addition, we have included the few changes that
must be made as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Vir-
tually all of the changes made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986
apply to private sector plans. Only a few changes affect
municipal plans which are not integrated with Social Security.
Among the changes are the following:
1. The insertion of a $200,000 compensation limit.
Even though this will not apply, it must be placed in the
plan.
2. The 415 limitations have been modified. The
principal change here is that any employee after-tax contribu-
tion is counted as an allocation for the purpose of the 25$
limitation.
3. The qualified domestic relations order provision
has been modified to permit distributions while a participant
is still employed to the participant's former spouse. This
should ease administration since you will not have to wait
until after termination of employment to distribution a former
spouse's interest.

One of the major changes impacting all plans is that
you must give participants an election with respect to distri-
butions. This was not required under prior law. Aowever,
your plan currently complies with this requirement so no
change is necessary.
In addition to the plan amendments, we are also
enclosing three copies of an amendment to the trust agreement
which adds a provision permitting the Vail Metropolitan
Recreation District Board to appoint a Trustee.
If the amendments meet with your approval, please
have counsel proceed with adopting the amendments. If you
have any questions with respect to the amendments, please
call me .
Yours truly,

TO
TOWN OF VAIL
EMPLOYEES' PENSION PLAN
THIS AMENDMENT is made by Town of Vail (hereinafter
referred to as the "Employer").
WHEREAS, the Employer adopted the Town of Vail
Employees' Pension Plan (hereinafter referred to as the
"Plan") effective January 1, 1983; and
WHEREAS, the Plan provides at Section 8.1 as follows:
"The Employer may amend, modify or terminate
the Plan..."; and
WHEREAS, the Employer previously amended the Plan in
certain technical respects and now desires to further amend
the Plan to make certain additional technical changes to the
Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Employer does hereby amend the
Plan in the following particulars:
ARTICLE I
Article II of the Plan (pages 2 through 4) is hereby
amended by adding the following Section 2.26 to the end of
such Article:
BRY/J-032090-31A
"2.26 "Compensation" means the basic salary paid
by the Employer to a Participant for services
rendered to the Employer, excluding bonuses,
overtime pay, severance pay, shift differen-
tials, longevity pay, and any other form of
compensation, insurance premiums, pensions and
retirement benefits, and all contributions by
the Employer to the within Pension Plan, to
any health, accident or welfare fund or plan,
to any deferred compensation plan, to any
other qualified retirement plan or simplified
employee pension plan, or any similar benefit,
any amount received as cash under a profit-
sharing plan cash option provision, and any
other amounts which receive special tax bene-
fits, provided that compensation reductions
pursuant to the Employer pick-up of employee
contributions pursuant to Code Section 414(h)
shall not be excluded as compensation except
for the purpose of applying the limitations on
allocations and benefits under Code Section
415. Further, compensation shall not include
any amounts realized on the transfer of pro-
perty rights from the Employer. The annual
compensation of any Participant taken into
account under the terms of the Plan for any
Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000, as
adjusted for changes in the cost of living as
provided by law or regulation."
ARTICLE II
Section 4.5 of the Plan (pages 7 through 10 and as
amended by Article II of the Second Amendment to the Plan) is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"4.5 Limitations on Allocations.
(a) General Rule. In no event may a Par-
ticipant receive an allocation for any
year which, when combined with his allo-
cation under any other defined contribu-
-2-
BRY/J-032090-31A
tion plan established by the Employer,
exceeds the lesser of 25~ of his compen-
sation for such year or $30,000, provided
such figure shall change to conform with
any adjustment for changes in the cost of
living after the enactment of the Tax
Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of
1982, as provided by law or regulation.
For the purpose of applying the foregoing
limitation, the limitation year shall be
the Plan Year. If a short limitation
year is created as a result of a change
in the limitation year, the dollar limi-
tation for such short limitation year
shall be the dollar limitation set forth
in this subsection multiplied by a frac-
tion, the numerator of which is the num-
ber of months in such short limitation
year and the denominator of which is
twelve (12).
(b) Allocations. For the purpose of applying
the limitations of this section, the
allocation to the Participant shall
include the following amounts allocated
to the account of a Participant for a
limitation year: (i) Employer contribu-
tions, (ii) forfeitures, and (iii) non-
deductible contributions made by the Par-
ticipant, provided that for years begin-
ning before 1987, only non-deductible
contributions in excess of 6~ of his com-
pensation for the year or one-half of the
non-deductible contributions made by the
Participant, whichever shall be less,
shall be counted as an allocation. For
the purpose of applying the limitations
of this Section, compensation from and
allocations received under any retirement
plan maintained by any other employer
which is a common member with the Employer
of either a controlled group of busi-
nesses or an affiliated service group, as
prescribed by law or regulation, shall be
counted.
-3-
BRY/J-032090-31A
(c) Excluded Amounts. Any amount not men-
tioned in subparagraph (b) shall not be
considered an allocation. The amounts
not considered as allocations include
deductible Participant contributions,
rollover contributions and transfers from
other qualified plans allocated to the
account of a Participant.
(d) Treatment of Excess. In the event an
allocation would otherwise exceed the
limitations of this section, any non-
deductible voluntary contribution by the
Participant which is counted as part of
such allocation shall be returned to such
Participant to the extent necessary to
reduce such allocation to a level in
compliance with the limitations of this
section. If after such return of contri-
butions there still remains an excess,
the excess over such limitations shall be
held in a suspense account until such
amount can be applied to reduce the next
contribution of the Employer. If the
Employer maintains more than one
qualified defined contribution plan, the
excess shall be considered to have first
occurred in the plan to which the contri-
bution of the Employer is discretionary,
and if there is no such plan, the excess
shall be treated as having occurred in
all defined contribution plans on a pro
rata basis based upon the Employer con-
tribution to each of the plans. If this
plan is terminated when there is an
amount held in such a suspense account,
the amount held in such account which
cannot be allocated to Participants
without exceeding the foregoing limits
shall be returned to the Employer.
(e) Compensation. For the purpose of this
Section and Section 4.5, compensation
shall mean compensation as defined in
Section 2.5, provided that any taxable
compensation excluded under such Section
shall be included as compensation."

the Aqe of 50.

interest in his Employer Contribution Account
attains the age of 50, he shall have the
option to direct the Trustee to establish a
segregated account within the Trust Fund to
which will be allocated the entire balance to
his credit attributable to both employee and
Employer contributions. Such option shall be
exercised by a written election filed with the
Trustee at least six months in advance of the
date on which the segregation will take place.
Once such an election has been filed, it shall
be irrevocable and all future contributions to
the Plan shall be made to such segregated
account. Any segregated account maintained
for a Participant's interest shall be invested
by the Trustee in any one or more of the
investments authorized in the Trust Agreement,
as the Trustee and the Administrator shall
mutually determine with the consent of the
Participant. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sions of this Plan, the segregated account of
a Participant shall alone participate in the
income, gains or losses of the property so
segregated and alone shall be liable upon con-
tracts made for its benefit or liabilities
arising from the investment of such account.
Any expenses resulting from the investments
made for the benefit of such account shall be
borne solely by such Participant's account,
unless otherwise determined by the Adminis-
trator."

BRY/J-07129a31A
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 11, 1990
SUBJECT: A request for a height variance for an addition to
Condominium Unit E-6, Lot P, Block 5D, Vail Village
First Filing, 141 East Meadow Drive, Crossroads
Condominiums.
Applicant: H. William Smith, Jr.
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTED
The owner of Condominium Unit E-6 is requesting a height
variance in order to expand the condominium by 343 sq. ft.
of GRFA. The proposed addition will be on the east
elevation of the building, at the 5th story. The addition
will be built over the existing first, second and third
floors below and a north facing, false facade would be
constructed at the fourth floor level. This facade would
wrap around slightly on the east elevation and would
architecturally tie the 5th floor addition to the existing
floors below. It is possible that at some future date the
fourth floor unit would expand and infill the false facade.
The proposed addition will match the appearance of the
existing building with both colors and materials.
Crossroads is zoned Commercial Service Center which has a
maximum height limit of 38 feet. The existing building is
in nonconformance with this 38 foot height requirement, as
the existing eave line in the area of the proposed expansion
is approximately 53 feet above finished grade. The ridge
line of the roof above the proposed expansion is
approximately 61 feet above finished grade. The proposed
expansion will not alter the existing eave line and will not
affect the ridge line of the building. The ridge line of
the proposed addition would be approximately 58' above
finished grade with the eave line at 51' above finished
grade.
There would be no impact on the Town's parking requirements
as a result of this expansion.
II. ZONING ANALYSIS
Lot Area = 80,025 sq. ft.
Allowable GRFA = 32,010 sq. ft. (40~)
Existing GRFA = 22.817 sq. ft
Remaining GRFA = 9,193 sq. ft.

III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS ~
Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of
the Vail Municipal Code, the Department of Community
Development recommends approval of the requested variance
based upon the following .factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. The relationship of the reauested variance to
other existingr or potential uses and structures in
the vicinity.
The staff's opinion is that the proposed height
variance request, if approved, would have no
significant impact upon other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity. We
recognize that much of the existing Crossroads
Condominium Building is in nonconformance with
the 38' height limit, although Crossroads is the
only property in the Town currently zoned
C~..,..~ercial Service Center. Crossroads is adjacent
to the Public Accommodation, Commercial Core II
and Commercial Core I zone districts. These zone
districts allow maximum heights of 48', 48' and
43' respectively.
There are no identified "view corridors' that
would be affected as a result of this expansion.
However, Vail Mountain can currently be viewed
from I-70 and the North Frontage Road through this
area. The proposed addition will eliminate this
view.
Staff believes that the proposed addition's 58'
high ridge would help transition the highest ridge
of this building, which is at 61' with the lower
44' ridge of the Cinema to the east. This simple
transition will give a stepped feel to the
roofscape, as viewed from I-70 and the South
Frontage Road.
2. The dearee to which relief from the strict and
literal interpretation and enforcementlof a
specified reaulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment amona
sites in the vicinity or to attain thelob~ectives
of this title without arant of speciallprivileae.
The strict and literal interpretation of the
height regulations for the Crossroads Condominium
building would mean that no further changes would
be allowable to the roof or eave lines due to the
existing nonconformance of the project!
2
ti•
~ The staff believes that there is a physical
hardship due to the height of the existing roof.
We feel that it is appropriate to support this
request because the proposed addition presents no
adverse impacts upon the existing development or
upon adjacent properties. This request is also
consistent with a similar height variance that was
approved in 1989 to add a dormer on the east side
of Crossroads (above Burger King) for an office
remodel. The Enzian or L'Ostello was also granted
a height variance to allow for the expansion of
several lodge units. Because this request does
not alter the existing ridge line of the building
or in any way effect the overall height of the
structure, we feel that there is no grant of
special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and
air. distribution of not~ulation, transuortation
and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities. and tiublic safety.
There is no impact from this requested variance
upon any of the above criteria.
IV. RELATED POLICIES IN THE VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN
The recently adopted Vail Village Master Plan provides
general guidelines regarding building heights in the Core.
The Plan states that "...it is the goal of this Plan to
maintain the concentration of low scale buildings in the
core area while positioning larger buildings along the
northern periphery (along the Frontage Road)."
The area of this proposed height variance is categorized in
the Vail Village Master Plan as having an acceptable
building height range of 5-6 stories. A building story is
defined as 9' of height and no roof is included.
This addition is located on the fifth story of the building.
The proposal does support the Vail Village Master Plan
height plan.
V. FINDINGS
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the
following findings before granting a variance:
A. 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.
3
'F
B. That the granting of the variance will not be r
detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in
the vicinity.
C. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the
following reasons:
1. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement
of the specified regulation would result in
practical difficulty or unnecessary physical
hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this
title.
2. 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.
3. 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.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommendation for this project is for approval.
We believe our recommendation to be consistent with recent
decisions by the staff and the PEC, which have allowed some
flexibility in the height requirements for pre-existing,
nonconforming buildings, as long as the existing ridge line
of the building is not modified and as long as the
alteration does not negatively effect any adjacent
properties.
We believe this request to be consistent with the Vail
Village Master Plan and not to be a grant of special
privilege, and therefore recommend approval.
We are, however, concerned with the general appearance of
the large rectangular planters located adjacent to the bus
route on East Meadow Drive. These timber planters have been
in a state of disrepair for some time now and the staff has
recommended that the Crossroads Condominium Association
pursue the upgrading of these planters. AlthougYi legally
the staff cannot condition the variance upon renovation of
the planters, we feel strongly that the planters should be
rebuilt and would encourage the applicant to proceed with
the project.

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Ron:
On behalf of my client H. William Smith I wish to appeal the
decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission on June 11
to deny a height variance for an addition to unit E-6 at the
Crossroads Condominiums.
We feel that the proposed height of the addition is in keeping
with the intent of the Vail Village Master Plan. That plan
indicates a range of five to six story buildings along the
Frontage Road at Crossroads. The current building is five
stories. The proposed addition would be below the existing
roofline and would provide a transition between that roof and the
roof over the Cinema. The addition does not affect any of the
view corridors as established by the Master Plan. This proposal
.would also increase the amount of transparency and relief on the
east face of the building, a facade which is presently blank and
quite massive.
Similar height variances have been granted for other properties
in Town. We feel that it would not be a grant of special
privilege for the Town Council to approve this request.
V~,~y truly ours,
v

On behalf of the Eagle Valley Environmental Alliance, I
would like to commend you on your decision to keep the Berry
Creek fifth filing as open space. We at EVEA feel that this
decision is in the best interest of the citizens of Eagle
County. To some, this will only become obvious at some time
"down the road", but many appreciate your foresight now. We
encourage all of the groups involved to work together to
effect the securing of this property as open space for
future generations.

Dear Bob:
Thank you for your most recent letter concerning the parking in the
loading zone west of the Sitzmark. The Town Council has had feedback
from other business owners in the area strongly stating that loading
functions are very important for that loading zone within the current
times posted. They also have had confirmation of that from the Town
Code Enforcement Officers.
The Council understands that you do not agree with that position, but
feels it is necessary to maintain the times as posted as stated in my
last letter.
Sin er ly,
