MEMBERS ABSENT: None
TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, Town Manager
Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney

Citizen Participation was first on the agenda, of which there was none.
Secondly, was the Summer Parking Incentive Program drawing. Caroline Fisher
explained the summer parking incentive program was part of the contingency parking
plan, and reviewed details of the program. People who had turned in 25+ receipts
for parking in the Lionshead parking structure this summer had their names put into
a hat for the drawing. Caroline noted there were many prizes, and the top prize for
people who turned in 75+ receipts was a season ski pass donated by Vail Associates.
Caroline passed the hat of names to Councilmembers for the drawing.
Next was a public hearing to discuss the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District
proposed par 3 golf course. Kristan Pritz stated the purpose was to hear public
comments on the idea. She also noted after public input, the plan would have to go
through the Planning and Environmental Commission review and then on to the Design
Review Board review. Rob Robinson, Director of VMRD, commented they were asking for
tentative approval by Council of the development of the par 3 golf course. He added
the VMRD did not want to invest any funds in the development at this point until
they had received public support of the idea. Laurie Asmussen presented a slide
show of the conceptual idea for the proposed area. Rob then addressed some possible
concerns and questions of the public, noting he had received over 50 letters of
unsolicited support for the golf course. There was also discussion regarding adding
a small area for employee housing units. Anne Pritzloff, a resident in the proposed
area, remarked she was in favor of the golf course, but was concerned for the safety
of her children to play in their yard unharmed. Sonny Caster felt the golf course
would enhance the area. Nancy Woods stated the golf course would be an improvement
of the area. After Rob Robinson answered questions of Council and the public,
Councilmembers stated some concerns they wanted to make sure were addressed in the
development of this project. Kent Rose raised the concern about possible wetland
areas in the project area. Merv Lapin made a motion to allow the VMRD to proceed
through the process, including the rezoning to Public Use District or any district
appropriate to allow a golf course and employee housing. Peggy Osterfoss seconded
the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Approval of the minutes of the October 2 and 16, 1990 meetings was next on the
agenda. There was no discussion by the public or Council. A motion to approve the
minutes as presented was made by Merv Lapin and seconded by Peggy Osterfoss. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
The fifth item was Ordinance No. 38, Series of 1990, second reading, annual
appropriation ordinance: adopting a budget and financial plan and making
appropriations to pay the costs, expenses, and liabilities of the Town of Vail,
Colorado, for its fiscal year January 1, 1991, through December 31, 1991, and
providing for the levy assessment and collection of town ad valorem property taxes
due for the 1990 tax year and payable in the 1991 fiscal year. Mayor Rose read the
full title of the ordinance. There was a brief discussion regarding tabling the
item until the November 20 meeting because of discussions with Vail Associates and
the Town of Avon for regional transportation to Minturn and Eagle-Vail, and the
possibility of Amendment No. 1 passing. Tom Steinberg made a motion to table the
f.
ordinance until the November 20 evening meeting, which Merv Lapin seconded. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Next was Ordinance No. 39, Series of 1990, second reading, authorizing the issuance
by the Town of Vail, Colorado, of its short-term promissory note (Firstbank Line of
Credit), in the maximum principal amount of $1,000,000, to evidence the Town''s
obligation to repay a line of credit, when drawn upon, from Firstbank for the
purpose of providing funds to maintain an adequate fund balance in the Town's
General Fund to enable the Town to pay the ordinary and necessary expenses;
prescribing the form of said promissory note; providing for the payment of said
promissory note from moneys deposited to the Town's General Fund and legally
available for the payment thereof; providing other details in connection with said
promissory note and providing further details in relation to the foregoing. 'The
full title was read by Mayor Rose. Steve Thompson stated the only changes were that
the note had been dated December 7, 1990, and it would mature on November 30, 1991.
There was a short discussion regarding fees. Tom Steinberg made a motion toiapprove
the ordinance, which was seconded by Merv Lapin. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 7-0.
Ordinance No. 36, Series of 1990, first reading, an ordinance repealing and
reenacting Section 18.52.160, Parking Exemptions and repealing Section 18.52.180,
variances of the Town of Vail Municipal Code and setting forth the details in regard
thereto, was next. Mayor Rose read the full title. Kristan Pritz explained the
background to the ordinance and reviewed the two main issues which were addressed by
the amendments:
1. Any property located in the CCI or CCII zone districts is required to
participate in this program. However, there are many properties, particularly in
Lionshead, that are located a considerable distance from the Mall and have vehicular
access that does not affect the pedestrianized area of the Mall. Allowing these
properties to pay in lieu of providing parking on-site is inconsistent with the
goals of the program.
2. As written, any property in CCI and CCII can remove existing on-site
parking and pay into the parking fund to compensate for the spaces. There are
benefits to removing spaces from the Village Core; however, there are many other
properties where the removal of existing spaces will provide no public benefit.
Kristan then reviewed the specifics of the ordinance. Kristan made the following
changes to the ordinance:
18.52.160 62a - sentence added at the end of the paragraph. "In the event a
change of use is proposed that requires less parking than an existing use, on site
parking shall not be removed."
18.52.160 62b - paragraph amended to read: "Property owners or applicants
located on the Lionshead Parking Program Overlay Map shall not be entitled to pay a
fee in lieu in order to remove existing on site parking spaces."
18.52.160 C - introductory paragraph amended by adding the word "are" to~first
sentence; "Where property owners are
There was much discussion by Council about problems with the proposed changes
regarding size of building changes, location to pedestrian areas, and requirements
of parking on-site vs. pay-in-lieu. Kristan then answered questions of Council and `
the public. Merv Lapin made a motion to approve the ordinance with direction to
staff to make clarifications as discussed this evening, which Tom Steinberg
seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Eighth on the agenda was Ordinance No. 40, Series of 1990, first reading, an'
ordinance authorizing the Mayor of the Town of Vail to sign an intergovernmental
agreement creating an Eagle County Emergency Telephone Service Authority within
Eagle County, which authority shall include the Town of Vail; authorizing the
imposition of an emergency telephone charge upon telephone exchange access
facilities within Vail; and authorizing service suppliers to collect said emergency
telephone charges. The full title of the ordinance was read by Mayor Rose. 'Ken
Hughey explained the purpose of the ordinance. He also noted that each governmental
entity needed to sign the agreement, but if a town did not, its area could be
covered by one of the fire districts, so all would most likely be covered. After a
short discussion by Council, Jim Gibson made a motion to approve the ordinance. A
second was made by Tom Steinberg. There was more discussion regarding county-wide

coverage and centralized dispatching for the county. A vote was taken and the
motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Next was an appointment to the Local Liquor Licensing Authority Board. Pam
Brandmeyer stated there was one position open, and the only applicant was the
current Board member Kevin Cassidy. After a brief discussion, Rob Levine made a
motion to reappoint Kevin Cassidy to the Local Liquor Licensing Authority Board.
Jim Gibson seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously
7-0.
At this time, Ron Phillips asked about the housing meeting set for Thursday,
November 15. Councilmembers jointly decided to begin the meeting at 8:00 a.m., and
it would be held at the Library Community Room.
Ron then asked Council for direction regarding the Vail Village Inn space and
leasing it to the Vail Resort Association. Rob Levine remarked the Town had made a
commitment to the URA, the URA had already spent money anticipating the move; he
requested an additional five year option on top of the five year lease, with the
rent to be $5.00/square foot, and the condominium association fee be waived since
they would house the Resource Center and the Drug Free Eagle Valley entities. After
much discussion regarding the pros and cons, and potential problems, it was jointly
decided by all Councilmembers that: URA would pay the condominium association fees;
the rent would be set at $5.00/square foot (the space is 4,000 square feet); the
lease would be for five years only; and the VRA would be forbidden to do any over-
the-counter business for outbound travelers. After some discussion, it was decided
that rent would begin the first of the next month after the move to the new
facility. Rob thanked everyone for their help.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
NOVEMBER 20, 1990
7:30 P.M.
A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, November 20, 1990,
at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro-Tem
Lynn Fritzlen
Jim Gibson
Merv Lapin
Robert Levine
Peggy Osterfoss
MEMBERS ABSENT: Kent Rose, Mayor
TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, Town Manager
Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney
Pam Brandmeyer, Town Clerk
First on the agenda was a ten year employment award for Larry Pardee. Ron Phillips
gave brief background- information on Larry, a Heavy Equipment Operator, and
congratulated him on ten years with the Town of Vail. Pete Burnett congratulated
Larry, noting he was a hard worker and a dedicated employee.
Under Citizen Participation, Rod Slifer stated he could not stay, but wanted to say
he supported the Vail Resort Association, and felt the best location for their
offices would be in the remodeled Vail Transportation Center.
Next was a Housing Task Force presentation of the Town of Vail affordable housing
study. Kristan Pritz introduced Nolan Rosall, a consultant to the Task Force,
stating the purpose of the presentation was to ask Council's approval of the report
and authorizing staff to implement the first phase of the report. She then gave
general background information on the study and reviewed the recommendations. Nolan
gave further details of the report explaining how it could be implemented. Larry
Eskwith remarked staff had taken the initial steps to start the process - a petition
for Town of Vail residents has been distributed to initiate a housing authority and
a public notice in Friday's paper will announce a public hearing scheduled for
December 4, 1990 to discuss the need for a housing authority. He then explained
details of an authority and a non-profit corporation and answered questions of
Council. Kristan Pritz commented the last issue of concern was using Town of Vail
land for affordable housing. There was some discussion regarding locations of all
Town of Vail parcels and where they were located as it pertained to their
appropriateness. Joan Carnie stated she hoped there would be some open space left
and was concerned about building on open space land; she felt building down valley
would not cause as much impact locally. Kristan addressed the Town's responsibility
to provide some housing within the Town of Vail boundary. Paul Johnston brought up
using the north part of Donovan Park or the Edwards parcel, feeling these were
acceptable with bus service to the housing area. He also had no problem using real
estate transfer tax (RETT) land for housing. Bob Fritch reminded Council of the
RETT vote and subsequent passage by Council, and asked questions regarding
reimbursing the RETT fund if RETT land was used for employee housing, to which Peggy f
Osterfoss asked if it was appropriate to use taxpayer dollars for land for
affordable housing. Don Klinger commented the average employee in Denver drove 45
minutes to get to work so having employee housing down valley would be appropriate.
Jeannie Duvall, a down valley resident, discussed a survey she had made comparing
rental rates to job listings. She remarked costs were similar up and down valley
and it was a myth about cheap rents down valley; there was no affordable housing.
Jim Gibson asked if affordable housing should be defined as to rental rates? Nolan
Rosall commented rates should be set by bedroom size; usually a housing authority
would recommend rates based on employee wages. Tom Steinberg noted construction
workers were now here year 'round and have impacted the housing situation; he felt
it would be desirable to know the number or percentage of construction workers.
Nolan added there were no disadvantages to having a housing authority; it would give
new alternatives. Peggy Osterfoss made a motion to approve the Task Force's
recommendation for affordable housing and to immediately proceed with the
appointment of a housing authority. Merv Lapin seconded the motion. Lynn Fritzlen
questioned density incentives and had a question regarding the difference between an
affordable housing unit and a condominium.
The Vail Resort Association (VRA) request for office space was next. Sylvia Blount,
Executive Director at VRA, gave an overview of what the VRA has done in the valley '
and asked who would function as the URA if the URA dissolved? Paul Johnston; Harry
Frampton, Renie Gorsuch, Will Miller, Mike Shannon..George Knox, Pepi Langegger, Bob
Fritch, Diana Mathias, Dave Gorsuch, Hermann Staufer, Chris Hanen, and Stan Cope
were supportive of the URA and their location. There was some discussion by Council
regarding the chronological order of events and now what was appropriate spaces for
the Ski Museum and the VRA. Sylvia stated the URA's position on a move. Eric
Affeldt commented the visitor information center on top of the remodeled Vail
Transportation Center was adequate, but that the reservations office should be
somewhere else. After much discussion, Rob Levine made a motion to have the~VRA
stay in the Post Office space until April, 1992, at the current rent, and the Town
help find permanent space afterwards at no cost or very low cost. Jim Gibson
seconded the motion. Peggy Osterfoss felt action should be taken before April,
1992, and suggested a business plan be made in a timely manner. There was much
discussion regarding possible scenarios. Merv Lapin remarked VRA needed a business
plan and he wanted to keep the moving date to May 1, 1991, because the Town had
space needs, too. Ron Phillips commented both Boards needed to get together to make
plans and arrangements. Mike Shannon suggested keeping the date to May 1, 1991, but
the Town do nothing with the Vail Village Inn space or the Vail Transportation
Center space until a resolution of the space issue had been resolved. Peggy
Osterfoss felt the Council had given a basic confirmation of support, and now it was
up to the Boards to work on a plan. Rob Levine modified the motion to have the URA
stay in the Post Office space until May 1, 1991, and the Town of Vail would
guarantee an appropriate space at a cost the URA was paying now or less. Jim Gibson
modified his second. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
At this time, Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg called a ten minute recess.
The fifth item was Ordinance No. 36, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance
repealing and reenacting Section 18.52.160, Parking Exemptions and repealing Section
18.52.180, variances of the town of Vail Municipal Code and setting forth the
details in regard thereto. Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg read the full title. After a
brief discussion, Merv Lapin made a motion to table the ordinance until the December
4 Evening Meeting. Rob Levine seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 6-0.
Next was Ordinance No. 38, Series of 1990, second reading, annual appropriation
ordinance: adopting a budget and financial plan and making appropriations to pay
the costs, expenses, and liabilities of the Town of Vail, Colorado, for its fiscal
year January 1, 1991, through December 31, 1991, and providing for the levy
assessment and collection of town ad valorem property taxes due for the 1990 tax
year and payable in the 1991 fiscal year. The full title was read by Mayor Pro-Tem
Steinberg. Steve Barwick commented the only change in the budget was $90,000 added
to the general fund for the Town's portion of the Upper Eagle Valley bus system run
by Avon. He also noted that $60,000 had been budgeted as revenue from the Vail
Village Inn space for 1991, and Council should keep that in mind in future
discussions. There was some discussion regarding the level of service of the Upper
Eagle Valley bus system; Steve was to find out and report back to Council. There
was also a short discussion regarding Eric Affeldt's letter to the Council. Eric
stated he felt Council should defer some items in the budget until more money was in
the account; then, when there is more money, put items back in. Ron Phillips and
Stan Berryman explained why this was not a good way to go, and discussed detailed
background on the road funds. Jim Gibson made a motion that by June 1, 1991, either
the Town had a contract or 50°~ cash commitment by partners in the Berry Creek
property, or the Town would list all or part of the property for sale. A second was
made by Rob Levine. Tom Steinberg mentioned the Town could also finance the
property and keep it, and get money back in the general fund. Jim Gibson amended
his motion to include Tom's suggestion. Rob Levine amended his second. A vote was
taken and the motion passed 4-2, with Tom Steinberg and Merv Lapin opposed. Back to
Ordinance No. 38, Merv Lapin reviewed his concerns with the budget. Eric Affeldt
felt the Council could make a motion stating 1) the Council agreed the general fund
balance was unacceptable, 2) they would bring it up to an acceptable level as
quickly as possible, and 3) Council would not look kindly upon further capital
expenditures or supplemental appropriations until the fund level was up to an
acceptable level. Peggy Osterfoss repeated Eric's recommendation in her motion for
approval of the ordinance. Rob Levine seconded the motion. A vote was taken and
the motion passed 5-1, with Merv Lapin opposed. '
Ordinance No. 40, Series of 1990, second reading, authorizing Town of Vail
participation in the Eagle County Emergency Telephone Service System. The full
title was read by Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg. There was no discussion by Council or

by Jim Gibson. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.

density control-two family residential district; Sub-section 18.13.080 (A) density
control--primary/secondary residential district and setting forth the details in
regard thereto. Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg read the title in full. Tom Braun stated
the ordinance was essentially the same as what was discussed October 28th. Merv
Lapin questioned some of the technical language. Lynn Fritzlen commented she would
support the ordinance on first reading if it would be discussed earlier on the
agenda for second reading. She noted there were not many changes, but she wanted
the public informed because it was complicated, but she would support it. A motion
to approve the ordinance was made by Lynn Fritzlen and seconded by Peggy Osterfoss.
Greg Amsten requested Council table this item for more public input and explained
why. Kristan Pritz responded to some of his concerns. Merv Lapin commented on the
items he did not understand, to which Kristan and Tom Braun addressed the issues. A
vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
Next was Ordinance No. 41, Series of 1990, first reading, an ordinance enacting
Section 18.04.365, Definition of Site Coverage in Hillside Residential, Single
Family, Two-Family, and Primary Secondary Zone Districts, and repealing and
reenacting Section 18.09.090 Site Coverage-Hillside Residential District, Section
18.10.110 Site Coverage-Single Family District, Section 18.12.110 Site Coverage-Two
Family District, Section 18.13.090 Site Coverage-Primary/Secondary District; and
setting forth details in regard thereto. Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg read the full

Lapin made a motion to approve the ordinance, which was seconded by Peggy
Osterfoss. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.

formation of a Local Improvement District having the boundaries indicated on Exhibit
A as prescribed in the Colorado Underground Conversion of Utilities Act (29-8-101
C.R.S.) will promote the public convenience, necessity, and welfare. After a short
discussion, Jim Gibson made a motion to approve the resolution. A second was made
by Lynn Fritzlen. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
Next was an appeal of Design Review Board approval of the Byrne residence, a
demo-rebuild project that incorporates the 250 square foot addition, located at 16
Forest Road, Parcel A, a resubdivision of Lot 1, Block 7, Vail Village 1st Filing.
Jill Kammerer gave background information on the appeal and explained DRB granted

1. Existing concrete retaining wall in front of the Hobart residence be
painted and capped with same stone as is to be used in siding.
2. That the applicant submit a letter from the adjacent property owner
(Hobart) approving the application .of stone siding to existing brick and the
painting of his residence and approval of painting and stone capping his existing
retaining wall.
3. The applicant come back to the Board to show what impact reducing the front `
yard walls to 3'-0" will have on the site.
4. Town Engineer Greg Hall must review and approve any proposed water
diversion needed in order to allow the development to occur.
Peggy Osterfoss asked why the item was before the Council. Ned Gwathmey, Chairman
of the Design Review Board, gave detailed information regarding the building plans
and answered questions of Council. Ned then addressed Peggy's concerns and reviewed
the plan drawings. Jay Peterson also answered questions of Council. Jim Gibson
made a motion to uphold the DRB approval, which was seconded by Rob Levine. Peggy

T0: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: December 10, 1990
SUBJECT: A request for a major amendment to SDD No.4, commonly
known as Cascade Village, Section 18.46 - Area D, in
order to adjust the Phasing Plan for site improvements
in order to allow for an addition to the Glen Lyon
Office Building, 1000 South Frontage Road West, Lot 45,
Block K, Glen Lyon Subdivision
Applicant: Glen Lyon Partners
I. BACKGROUND
In March, 1990, the Town Council and Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC) approved a major amendment to
SDD #4 which includes the Glen Lyon Office Building - Area
D, as well as Cascade Village - Area A, Coldstream
Condominiums - Area B, and the Glen Lyon duplex lots. The
approved SDD for Area D now includes the following:
A. A brewery with a total floor area of 21,435 square
feet.
B. Expansion to the existing Glen Lyon Office Building of
2800 square feet.
C. A two-level parking structure to be constructed at the
time that the brew pub is open during the day or the
east building is constructed. The operation of the
brew pub would be allowed prior to the construction of
the parking structure provided that the brew pub would
only be open after 4:30 pm.
D. A phasing plan which included the following:
i) Phase I - 2800 square foot expansion to the Glen
Lyon Office Building, as well as the undergrounding of
electric services.
2) Phase II would include construction of the brewery,
the relocation of the bike path, construction of the
deceleration lanes on the South Frontage Road and the
addition of a Town of Vail bus stop.
3) Phase III would include construction of the east
building and/or the brew pub operating during the day.
The parking structure would also be constructed during
this phase.
1
r f
E. Two employee housing units would be constructed as a
part of Phase III.
F. An enclosed emergency exit stair would be located on
the south side of the Glen Lyon Office Building.
G. All of the conditions associated with previous
approvals would be included in the revised plan.
II. THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to
SDD#4 in order to allow the conversion of an existing
exterior deck to 400 square feet of interior office space
without meeting all of the conditions of approval set forth
in SDD #4. The proposed deck enclosure is part of the 2800
square foot office expansion approved by the PEC and Town
Council in March 1990. As approved, any portion of the
approved office expansion triggers the condition of approval
requirement that the developer make a number of site
improvements. These conditions of approval are outlined; in
the March 1990 SDD #4 Ordinance (see attached). Approval of
a maior amendment to SDD #4 is necessary in order to allow
the expansion. As the applicant is requesting to meet only
a portion of the conditions applicable to the expansion of
the office building, the applicant proposes to underground
the electrical utilities along the Frontage Road and to 'add
more landscaping around the existing surface parking lot.
III. COMPARISON OR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO THE ARTERIAL BUSINESS.
ZONE DISTRICT
A. Background on Glen Lyon Protierty
In 1976, SDD#4 was established. The Arterial Business
zone district was adopted in March of 1982. Arterial
Business zoning serves as the underlying zone district
for the Glen Lyon Office property.
When the Special Development District was
originally established, the development plan ,
called for 10,000 square feet of office
space. The office building, with a gross
area of approximately 13,000 square feet, was
constructed in 1979-80. In March of 1982,
the PEC and Town Council approved an
amendment to SDD #4 which allowed
approximately 3,000 sgbare feet of existing
storage within the building to be converted
to office space.
2 '
- In 1983, a request was approved by the PEC and Town Council to
allow the total gross area of the building to be increased to
25,000 square feet. Of this 25,000 square feet, 18,750 square
feet was considered to be net floor area for office. The
remainder of the area was devoted to common areas such as
mechanical, lobby areas, and corridors.
The 1982 request also included a change to the front
setback. The front setback was adjusted from 20 feet
to 15 feet. This request was approved by the PEC with
two conditions. The first was "the bike path, right
turn and left turn lanes shall be provided in
accordance with the circulation and access plan for the
Arterial Business zone district with the stipulation
that the funding be worked out within a period of 60
days after the approval, and that no building permit
would be issued until the funding was worked out."
In March of 1986, the developer requested an extension
to the expired approval for Development Area D. This
request was approved.
In April of 1986, the Glen Lyon Office Building
partnership requested a minor subdivision of the Glen
Lyon Office Building property. The concept was to
divide the 1.8 acre site into two parcels so that
ownership could be divided prior to construction. The
development would be limited to the approved
development plan for the parcel. This request was also
approved by the PEC. However, the minor subdivision
plat has not been finalized and therefore has not been
recorded with the County.
IV. SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CRITERIA
A. Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent vrotierties,
relative to architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height. buffer zones, identity. character, visual
integrity and orientation.
The approved office square footage (2800 s.f.) will not
be increased by this amendment. The proposed enclosure
does alter the approved architectural plans. However,
the proposed enclosure will be consistent with the
architecture, scale, bulk, and height of the existing
building and will not negatively impact any of the
other criteria listed above.
B. Uses. activity and density which crovide a comtiatible,
3
- efficient and wo~kab~.e relationship wi;th surroundina~
uses and activity.
The proposal does not change the uses, activity or
density of the approved plan.
C. Compliance with parking and loadi,.na requirements as
outlined in Chanter 18.52.
The site currently contains 53 surface parking spaces.
With this Phase I addition, 1.6 new parking spaces will
be required. The new parking requirement will be 42;.2
or 43 parking spaces. No new spaces will be built,ias
the site currently has l0 excess parking spaces.
D. Conformity with appl~.cable elements of the Vail
Comprehensive Plan. Town policies and Urban Design
Plans.
Section 1.2 of the Town of Vail X,and Use Plan relates
to this proposal.
"General Growth/Development
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." ,
E. Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the
special development district is proposed.
i
No hazards are present on the Glen Lyon Office
property. The site is affected by the floodplain, ,
however, the development is not proposed in the
floodplain area.
F. Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions desictned *o produce a functional development
responsive and sensitive to natural features, ! `
vegetation and overall aesthetic duality of the ~
community.
No changes are proposed in this area.

G. ~ circulatic~~n svst.em desi,~~P~, ~x hnt.h vehicles and

K. Functional an,d aP~sfih . _

No changes are proposed that would affect any of the
above issues. The applicant has agreed to upgrade the
existing landscaping and to underground electrical
service as a part of this proposal.
I. Phasing elan or subdivision elan that will maintain a
workable. functional and efficient relationshit~
throughout the development of the special development
district.
This amendment will change the proposed phasing plan.
Rather than the entire 2800 square feet of office
expansion being constructed in a single phase, the
applicant is requesting to split Phase I into 2 pieces.
Phase IA will include the 400 square foot deck
enclosure and the undergrounding of electrical
utilities. The remaining 2400 square feet of Phase I
will be completed at an unspecified later date. In
addition, the remaining conditions (as stipulated in
the SDD for Area D will be completed at the time of
construction of any of the elements included in Phase I
or II).
V. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
All development standards have been met.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends approval of the request provided that '
the applicant underground the electrical utilities along the r
north side of the Glen Lyon property. The applicant has
agreed to complete the undergrounding as well as to improve
the sites landscaping.
5
The staff feels it would be unreasonable to require the
applicant to meet all of the conditions set out in the
approved SDD #4 ordinance in order to complete this 400
square foot addition. We believe the undergrounding of the
utilities will not be a hardship for the applicant and
further find that given the scale of the proposed
improvements, requiring the applicant to underground the
electrical utilities will be more equitable than requiring
the applicant to meet all the conditions of the originally
approved development plan. We also support the applicant's
desire to add landscaping around the existing surface
parking lot.

RE: Glen Lyon Office Building Deck Enclosure
Dear Sirs: '
We are proh~sing to Increase our office space by 400 square feet
by enclosing an existing deck that has not been useC since the
construction of the building in 1980 lsee attached drawings).
The additional square footage has already been approved as
included in Ordinance No. 40 Series of 1988, Special Development
District No. 4. Glen Lyon Commercial Site D. 18.46.103, F. 2
allows 2,400 square feet additional office space in the existing
building. Currently, 10.150 square feet of existing office space
exists on Site D. Fifty-three parking spaces are currently
provided; 40.6 parking spaces are required for the existing
office space and 1.6 parking spaces are required for the
additional 400 square feet. Therefore, the currently parking lot
tepally accommodates the proposed square footage.
Section 18.46.200: Controls do not apply.
Section 18.46.210. D: The conditions of approval as they relate
to a large 26.000 or 30.000 square toot development would not
seem appropriate. in their entirety. to a 400 square toot deck
enclosure. However. we would propose that Condition 3 be
executed by the summer of 1991 as arrangements are being made at
this time. We are proposing to develop sixteen percent of
16.46.100. F., 2. - which Is less than one percent of the
entire S.D.D.
If an amendment to the S.D.D. ordinance is reuugred. we would ,
like to begin this process. However. if because of the small
scale of this project, a snore streamlined approach is possible.
It would be appreciated.

by all of the applicable ordinances of the Town of Vail, and by the
following design guidelines:
A. General.
- -1:*~ Structures~hati~ _,......r~tible with existing structures,
xheir surroundings, and with Vail's environment. It is not
to be inferred that buildings must look alike to be
compatible. Compatibility can be achieved through the
proper consideration of scale, proportions, site planning,
- . ~ landscaping, materials and colon, and compliance with
the guidelines herein contained.

ZONING
2. Any building site in Vaift is likely to have its own unique
land fortes and features. Whenever possible, these exist-
ing features should be preserved and reinforced by new
construction. The objective is to fit the buildings to their
sites in a way that leaves the natural land forms and
features intact, treating the buildings as an integral part of
the site, rather than as isolated objects at odds with their
surroundings.
B. Site planning.
1. The location and configuration of structures and access
ways shall be responsive to the existing topography of the
site upon which they are to be located. Grading rcquire-
pents resulting from development shall ~be designed to
Glknd.~nto the existing ar.aatural landscape. Any cuts or
fills shall be sculptural :in form and contoured to blend
with the existing natural undisturbed terrain within the
property boundary.
2. Building siting and access thereto shall be responsive to
existing features of terrain rock outcroppings, drainage
patterns, and vegetation. - j
3. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation _ l
shall oe limited to removal of those essential for develop-
ment of the site or those identified as diseased.
4. All areas disturbed during construction shall be re-
vegetated. Ifnecessary, the DRB may designate allowable
limits of construction activity and require physical bar-
riers in order to preserve significant natural features and
vegetation upon a site and adjacent sites during con-
SlructlOn.
5. All projects shall be designed so as to provide adequate
snow storage areas for snow cleared from the parking
areas and roadways within the project.
~ utTding~matena~"s'~fid"d'es`'i~,
r `l.`~Building materials~shallfie predominantly natural such

steel, or plastic siding, nor simulated stone or brick shall
be permitted. Piywood siding shall not be permitted.
2. The same or similar building materials and colors shall be
used on main structures and any accessory structures
upon the site.
3. Exterior wall colors should be compatible with the site
and surrounding buildings. Natural colors Garth tones
found within the Vail area) should be utilized. Primary
colors or other bright colors should be used only as
accents and then sparingly such as upon trim or railings.
All exterior wall materials must be continued down to
finished grade thereby eliminating unfinished foundation
walls. All exposed metal flashing, trim, flues, and roof top
mechanical equipment shall be annodized, painted or
capable of weathering so as to be non-*eflective.
4. The majority of roof forms within Vail are gable roofs
with a pitch of at Least four feet in twelve feet. However,
other roof forms are allowed. Consideration of environ-
mental and climatic determinants such as snow shedding,
drainage, and solar exposure should be integral to the
j roof design.
` S. Roof lines should be designed so as not to deposit snow
on parking areas, trash storage areas, stairways, decks
and baiconies, or entryways. Secondary roofs. snow clips,
and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas
from roof snow shedding if necessary.
6. Roof surfacing materials shall be compatible with the site
and surrounding buildings. The predominant roof mate-
rials utilized arc wood shakes and their use is strongly
encouraged. The use of metal roofs is acceptable, however
in no instance will metal roofs which reflect direct
sunlight onto an adjacent property be permitted. If metal -
roofs are used they shall be surfaced with slow-gloss
finish or capable of weathering to a dull finish. Metal
roofs shall generally have a standing seam in order to
provide some relief to the roof surface and be of a heavy
gauge. Asphalt and fiberglass shingles shall not be
permitted, however, they shall be of sufficient gauge,
design, and color to be compatible with these guidelines
(sufficient gauge shall be 300 pds/sq ft of roofing
material). 454e

7. Rooftop heating and air conditioning equipment, large
vent stacks, elevator penthouses and similar features
should be avoided, however, if necessary, shall be de-
signed to be compatible with the overall design of the
structure or screened from viev~ooftop antennae shall
~ot..b~.permitted unless as allowed under a conditional
use review as specifed within the zoning code.
8. Solar collectors shall lie flat on pitched roofs, however,
when retrofitting an existing building with active solar the
collectors should be designed and placed in a manner
compatible with the overall design of the building.
9. Deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other building
features that provide shelter from the elements are
encouraged.
10. Fenestration should be suitable for the climate and for the
orientation of the particular building elevation in which
the fenestration occurs. The use of both passive and active
solar energy systems is strongly encouraged.
11. Exterior lighting shall be designed and located in a
manner to minimize impact of lighting upon living areas )
within a proposed project and upon adjacent structures
and properties.
12. In no instance shall a duplex structure be so constructed
as to result in each half of the structure appearing
substantially similar or mirror image in design.
13. Duplex and primary j secondary residential dwelling units
shall be designed in a manner that contains the two
dwelling units and garages within one single structure.
~ ; ~ . Hower•er, in the event that the presence of significant site
~~+~I ~ + characteristics necessitate a site design which includes a
1 i physical separation. of the two dwelling units and/ or

TO: Design Review Board
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: December 5, 1990
SUBJECT: A request for a variance to vary sections
16.32.030 (C), 16.20.010, and 16.20.050 of the
Town of Vail Municipal Code to allow a sign
alteration for Bighorn Rentals, located at 4327
Streamside Circle, Lot 6, Bighorn 4th Addition.
Applicant: Douglas Hiller/Bighorn Rentals.
I. OVERVIEW
The owner of Bighorn Rentals would like to modify and
replace an existing free standing sign for a business in
east Vail. The existing sign was erected prior to the
Town's adoption of a sign code. This request requires
variances because, among other reasons, the Town of Vail
Sign Code specifically prohibits any alterations to
nonconforming signs. Each variance from the Town of Vail
Sign Code is explained in detail below.
II BACKGROUND
The Bighorn Rentals sign and business have existed since
1969, according to documentation by the current owner. Mr.
Hiller recently purchased the home and business and now
lives there. The business is located in a single family
residence in a duplex zone district and functions much like
a home occupation. Legally, it is not a home occupation
since the owner employees more employees than is allowed by
the Zoning code for home occupations.
There are a number of issues raised by this request which
staff spent considerable time analyzing. The first is that
the business is a legal nonconforming business and should
not be viewed as a home occupation. Secondly, the sign is
also nonconforming as it was erected prior to the Town
regulating signage. Third is that the nonconforming
business is not automatically entitled to a sign. This is _
because it is located in a Duplex Zone District which does
not allow any commercial signage. Fourthly, for the
purposes of this analysis, staff has determined that the %
sign should be compared to the standards listed in the code
for "Freestanding signs-- Single-business use."
Below is a table comparing the existing to the proposed:
Allowed by Code for
freestanding signs for
single business
Existing Probosed
Size 5.8 sq. ft. 5.8 sq. ft. No business sign
allowed in Duplex
Zones
Height 11.5 ft. 10.0 ft. 8.0 ft.
III. VARIANCE REQUESTS
The request entails variances from three sections of the
Sign Code. The most important aspect is the request to
alter and establish the nonconforming sign. Second is the
request to have a business sign in a residential zone.
Third is the request to exceed the height limit for
freestanding signs.
The first and most important aspect of the request is to
alter the nonconforming sign. The Sign Code has been
written in such a way that nonconforming signs must be taken
down if they are damaged or altered. They may be altered
only if the Town grants a variance. Below is the section of
the code pertaining to this standard.
16.32.030 Nonconforming Signs
The use or operation of nonconforming signs shall be
terminated as follows:
C. By Destruction, Damage or l~lteration. The right
to continue use or operation of any nonconforming
sign shall terminate whenever the sign is altered
in any way, or damaged or destroyed over 50% of
its appraised value.
The second aspect of the request is to allow a sign in a
residential zone. The section of the code listed below
indicates that businesses located outside commercial zones
like CCI and PA are not allowed business signs. Since this
section of the code does not include the Duplex Zone,
2
commercial signs are prohibited. That section of the code
reads as follows:
16.20.010 Designated
~~A business or organization within the Commercial Core
I, Commercial Core II, Commercial Service Center, Heavy
Service, PA, and HDMF zone districts and special
development districts is permitted the following sign
or combinations of sings provided the provisions of
each category and the provisions of this sign code are
met...~~ (Please see attached Section of Sign Code.)
A third component of the variance pertains to the height of
a freestanding sign. Staff has used this section as a
standard to compare the proposal to. Since height is
limited to eight feet and since the new sign will be ten
feet high, a variance is required.
16.20.050 Freestanding Signs
~~Height. No part of the sign shall extend above 8 feet
above existing grade.~~
IV FINDINGS AND STAFF ANALYSIS
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the
applicant must prove physical hardship and the Board must
find that,
A. Determination of Physical Hardship.
Though there are no clear cut hardships, staff believes
that it is reasonable for the business to have a sign.
We believe that some signage could be approved, but
only if the square footage is reduced to an appropriate
amount. Though not a physical hardship, it is somewhat
of a hardship to have a business and not be allowed to
have a sign.
B. There are special circumstances or conditions applying
to the land, buildings, topography. veaetation, Sian
structures or other matters on adjacent lots or within
the adjacent right-of-way which would substantially
restrict the effectiveness of the sign 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.
3 .
( ~
There are no special circumstances that would restrict
the effectiveness of the sign in question. There is no
unique topography, vegetation, buildings or other
similar structures that would limit the visibility of
the sign.
C. That special circumstances were not created by the
applicant or anyone privy to the applicant.
This criteria is not applicable as staff did not find
any special circumstances on the site.
D. That the granting of the variance will be in general
harmony with the purpose of this title and will not be
mater..ially detrimental to the persons residing or
w~rkina in the vicinity, to adjacent property. to the
neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general.
The existing sign is not in harmony with the
surrounding area. The new sign, as proposed, will also
be incompatible with the area. The one other business
sign along the Frontage Road in east Vail is part of
the Pitkin Creek SDD. It is the sign for East Vail
Market. That sign is part of a large mixed use SDD,
yet it is approximately a quarter of the size of the
Bighorn Rentals sign. Because this proposal is located
further east on the Frontage Road in a less dense,
thoroughly residential area, staff believes that it is
incompatible.
However, staff believes that this application presents
an opportunity to increase the harmony between the
business sign and the rest of the neighborhood. We
believe that the standard used through out the Town for
minimum signage allowed could be applied here. For
example, businesses in the commercial areas of Town
which do not meet the minimum front footage
requirements for signage are always entitled to three
square feet. Staff believes that the same minimum
square footage could apply here. Another important
change that must be made to make the sign more
compatible with the surrounding area is to change it
from a free standing sign to a wall sign. Since free
standing signs are allowed only for major business
operations in town, staff believes that a wall sign is
much more appropriate in this case.
E. The variance applied for does not depart from the
provisions of this title any more than is reauired to
identify the applicant's business or use.
4
Staff believes that the proposal exceeds what is
necessary to identify the applicant's business. We
understand the need to identify the business, but
believe it can be accomplished effectively with a wall
sign which does not exceed three square feet.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff does not support the request as proposed by the
applicant. In an effort to be reasonable, we would support
a request for an alteration to the nonconforming sign which
was more compatible with the surrounding residential
neighborhood. The current proposal, however, does not meet
the findings of the Sign Code. Specifically, Finding D is
not met as there are no special circumstances found on the
site. Finding C is not met as the proposed sign would not
be in harmony with the neighborhood. Finding E is not met
as the variance applied for departs from the Sign Code much
more than what would be reasonable to identify the business.
Staff recommends that the applicant consider a three square
foot wall sign (the minimum signage allowed for businesses
in commercial and mixed use zones), which would bring the
request into more compliance with the variance criteria.
