Backaround Rationale: On August 21, 1991, the DRB considered three sign variance requests for The Village Popcorn Wagon. The first variance, to allow the wording on the awning to not contain the name of the business was denied. The DRB felt the second variance, to allow a greater number of signs than permitted, and the third variance, to allow a greater sign area than permitted, were not needed because the existing metal signs were part of the design of the wagon. Thus, the wagon would not be over in number or area of signs. Staff Recommendation: Uphold the DRB decisions. 10. Adjournment.

As you know, I previously served an unexpired term on the Planning and Environmental Commission from January 1989 through January 1990. During this term I made special effort to prepare for and attended each meeting. As a new member on the P.E.C., I took my responsibility seriously, spending many hours on my own to learn my responsibilities and Vail's Zoning Code. To aid in my learning process, I volunteered and served on the Zoning Code Task Force and the Affordable Housing Task Force. I know first hand the time it takes to learn the code and serve as a P.E.C. Member. I know, and have demonstrated, the commitment it takes to properly prepare for and attend each meeting. My personal integrity, previous experience, continuing desire to learn, and genuine interest in serving our community as a fair and impartial commissioner, qualifies me to serve. Please accept this application to the Vail's Planning and Environmental Commission for both the unexpired term of Commissioner Shearer and for a full two-year term on the Planning and Environmental Commission beginning February, 1992.

The Town's response is as follows: 1) Ordinance No. 39, Series of 1981, is a valid legislative enactment of the Town of Vail. The ordinance prohibits the conveyance and the leasing or renting of the unit for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive days, and requires that the unit be rented only to tenants who are full time employees in the Upper Eagle Valley. It is the Town of Vail's position that any conveyance or rental which violates the term of the ordinance is invalid. This unit represented additional density added to the 770 Potato Patch Condominium complex, which never would have been granted if the unit were not restricted as an employee housing unit. 2) You argue in your letter that the FDIC should be permitted to disregard the restrictions because no covenants containing the restrictions were filed on the land records of Eagle County. Under Colorado law, the recordation of a zoning ordinance is not necessary to provide constructive notice to subsequent purchasers, such as the FDIC in this instance. Colorado case law provides that a zoning amendment is a legislative enactment, and as such does not need to 1 ~ D tl~! 0 Ms. Ncelle Paige Staab Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation December 13, 1991 Page 2 comply with Colorado recording acts. The goals of the Colorado recording statute are satisfied through the zoning approval process. Consequently, the FDIC had record notice of the restrictions of Ordinance No. 39. In addition, the condominium map for 770 Potato Patch Drive which was signed and accepted by the owner of the property, and which is recorded on the land records of Eagle County designates the unit as a caretaker's unit. Finally, as can be seen from the enclosed correspondence, the FDIC has been notified by the Town of Vail on several occasions of the restrictions contained in Ordinance No. 39. 3) You note in your letter that the Silverado Investment Company was the owner of record and had been paying property taxes on the unit. However, in a letter dated September 27, 1989, a copy of which is enclosed, the Eagle County Assessor verified that the caretaker's unit at 770 Potato Patch Drive has been considered part of the general common elements and not assessed as a separate unit. Apparently, the unit was assessed as a separate unit for the first time in 1990. The Town Council of the Town of Vail understands that the FDIC has a duty to liquidate the assets of the Silverado Investment Company which are presently in receivership. Nevertheless, the Town must insist that in the process of liquidation, the Town's ordinances are not violated. The Town, however, would be happy to discuss a compromise with the FDIC which would result in some solution which would be acceptable to the FDIC, but would maintain the integrity of the Town's ordinance.

Although I am an attorney, I am writ ng this letter as a member of the Board and an owner of a cond rainium in 770 Potato Patch. he FDIC has requested the Town for relief from Ordinance No. 39, .series of 1981, which restricts the sale and use of th caretaker's unit at 770 Patata Patch. The Condamini~ Association digputee certain statements in the FDIC Lett r, and the Ac~sociation wishes to furnish the Town with aths information which we believe would-be helpful in the consi eration of this matter. he Condominium Association urga>8 the Town Council not to re cind ordlnanca Na. 39 at this times. we also a.nvite the Town' caaperation in helping to fashion a solution to the use and o ership of the caretaker's unit. ur comments to the ~'bIC letter are as follaa~s: Qjar?ershig.

Sn this regard, I direct your attention to the letter dated February 1990, from the Association's attorney, Mr- post, to the FD C, asserting the vlaim by the Association. The condomini Association believes that the caretakers unit was meant to e a common element far thG benefit of the condomini ~r...ers. The condominium map, regarded at Book 350, Page 903, Eagle County Clark and Recorder's Office, on Decemti r z3, 1982, designates this unit as a caretakers unit. O finance No. 39 evidences this intent by stating in the secon "Whereasp clause that this extra unit would be restrict to "employee housing usA as a caretaker facility," and acco ingly, prohibits its sale and restricts its usA to employAa ouscng. Despite Our repeated raqueAtg to meet with the FDIC o resolve this actuation, the FDIC has rebuffed the condomini Association. In fact, we have been unaueeesaful in AvAn i entifying an a.ndividual within the FDIC who has authorcty to negotiate with us in an attempt to resolve this dispute. Notice of Covenant. The ~'DTC claims that it did not have otice of the restrictions contained in the covenant, and that n any event, no agreea?ent was executed to effectuate the crdin nos. However as discussed previously, this unit is designate as a caretaker's unit in the condominium map, which was sign and accepted by the owner of the property. secondly, thA legal description in the attached deed to Siiversda Investment Company, dated April 12, 1985, explicitly raferA to this unit as the 'caretaker unit," and ra€erences the condo inium map. Finally, as evidenced by the attached letters f om the Town of Vail dated November 1986 and January 1 , 1991, to the FDIC or its agent, the FDIC bass bean repeated7. advised by the Town of the existence of Ordinance No. 39. Taxes. The F73IC claims to have paid taxes on this care esker unit. However, according to the attached letter f m the Eagle County Assessor, dated September 27, 1989, to nother Board member o! the Condominium Association, the Eagle County Assessor had considered the caretaker's unit to be pa of the general common elements and had not assessed it as a s parate unit through 1989. The FDIC has failed to pay the a sassed taxes for 1990, when this unit was first separates assessed (apparently at the request of the FDIC). ~.T c - SENT BY: ;12-12-91 ; 1~03PM 3034792157;# 4 Lawrence skwith, Esq.

The stairway runs north and south along the east side of the Landmark building, and connects the Lionshead Mall with the Vail Associates' North Day parking lot. Access to the Chart House is from a landing midway on the stairway. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the placement of a menu board, for the Chart House Restaurant, at the bottom of the stairway (mall level) on Town of Vail owned land. The menu board is proposed to be located to the west of the stairway (on the grass) and below a Town of Vail light fixture. The Chart House is not directly on the Lionshead Mall, and the owners feel the restaurant is difficult to see. In order to improve the exposure of the business, a new projecting sign will take the place of the existing wall sign, and a menu board is being requested for the described location. No variance is necessary for the wall sign. The Town of Vail sign code prohibits signs which are off the premises of the permitted use. The request involves the following section of the Town of Vail sign code: 16.26 Prohibited Signs: 16.16.010 Designated, Paragraph L: "Off-premise advertising signs or any other sign not pertinent and clearly incidental to the permitted use on the property where located." On November 12, 1991, the Town Council granted the Chart House permission to proceed through the planning process and request a variance which would allow an off-site sign. This request will be heard by both the Design Review Board and the Town Council. 1 II. FINDINGS AND STAFF RESPONSES Before the Board acts ors a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship and the Board must find that, A. There are special circumstances or conditions applvina to the land, buildings. topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matters on adiacent lots or within the adiacent 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 entemrises. Staff Response: The staff feels that there are special circumstances related to the location of this business. The entrance to the restaurant is not directly on a pedestrian way and is difficult for a pedestrian to see. The staff feels that the location of the business constitutes a physical hardship. However, we feel that the requested location is not appropriate. In the past, menu boards located on Town of Vail land have been allowed when they were located on land leased from the Town. Generally, these approved menu boxes have been located within 10 feet of the business accessway to the business (ie. Up the Creek, Blu's, Ore House, etc.). Variances were not required because they were on leased land used for business operations. Although the land is not leased from the Town nor used for dining, we find that this menu box should be allowed on Town of Vail land because of the sign's proximity to the restaurant's main access. However, it should be located closer to the actual business access, similar to other approved "off-site'° menu boxes on leased land for dining decks. The staff's recommendation would be to allow the menu box to be located at the top of the second stair level, which is within 10 feet of the business' main pedestrian access. B. That special circumstances were not created by the applicant or anyone in privy, to the applicant. Staff Response: The special circumstances were not created by the applicant. C. That the granting of the variance will be in aeneral harmony with the purpose of this title and will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adiacent property. to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in aeneral. 2 { ~ d Staff Response: Menu boards may not exceed a total of 5 square feet in size. The proposed site of the menu board is in compliance with the sign code and is not detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity. The staff's concern is with the proposed sign location. D. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this title anv more than is required to identify the a~olicant's business or use. Staff Response: The staff finds that a menu box located at the base of the main stairway, as proposed by the applicant departs more than is necessary from the code. Staff believes it is more acceptable to locate the display box at the stairway on the second landing so that it is adjacent to the business entry. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends denial of the applicant's request to place a 5 sq. ft. menu box at the base of the stairway adjacent to the Chart House and the Lionshead Mall as we believe it does not meet the variance criteria. The staff would recommend approval of a variance from the sign code which would allow a menu box of 5 square feet (with business identification of I/2 a square foot) at the top of the second stair landing. We feel that if the staff's recommendation is approved that the findings have been met and the existing location of the business is a physical hardship. Other menu boxes on land leased from the Town of Vail and generally located within 10 feet of the business' access have been approved and comply with the sign code 6y locating the sign on the second stair level, the menu box would be within 10 feet of the Chart House access and would still be visible to the pedestrian at the mall level. 3 ~I or ;~ZT~ / ~ ,ice 4 _ ~ _ ~ ` 1~-2, Gam'' ~*G`~ ~ / r J`~ - ~ t ~ 11 ` ~ 1 i ' I i ~ ~i ~t ~ { i ~ , i i i ~ ' `i I 1 i t l ` - i - _ - ~ ~ - - - ,n„_ rgiuip~~a~ nro I 1 ~ ~ ~ a. .,;~s, q ~ Y p .,!/•x_17' ~ i}. 4~~~e.'.Yjy H-:~ _ ,-may -F',1~ T0: Design Review Board FROM: Community Development Department DATE: August 21, 1991 SUBJECT: A request for sign variances for the Vail Village Popcorn Wagon located in Founders' Square at the top of Wall Street, Vail Village 1st Filing Applicant: Jan Wening Staff: Betsy Rosolack I. THE REQUEST The applicant is the owner of the Village Popcorn Wagon. The Village Popcorn Wagon is located on Town of Vail land. The owner of the wagon leases the property under the wagon from the Town of Vail. Ms. Wening is requesting three sign variances. The first variance is to Section 16.20.110 (A), Purpose, to allow the words, "Beverages Sandwiches Pastries" on an existing awning. The second request is for a variance to the total amount of sign area permitted, Section 16.20,110.(B), Size. The third request concerns the number of exterior signs permitted, Section 16.20.110 (D), Number. (Please note the variances are highlighted in bold print.) Section 16.20.110 Projecting and Hanging Signs--Single Business Use: (A) Purpose: A. "Purpose, to identify a business or organization being the sole business occupant within a building. The identification sign or.signs for a business or organization may include the name of the business or organization and the general nature of the business conducted within or upon the premises. In no instan~P. however, shall the total portion of the sign describing the general nature of the business exceed 40 per cent of the total area of each sign permitted for this purpose. The description of theaaeneral nature of the business shall be incorporated into the Sian or signs identifying the name of the business and should not exist as a separate sign." The following signs require a variance to the requirement that the description of the general nature of the business should not exist as a separate exterior sign, and that wording other than the name of the establishment not exceed 40 percent of the total area of the sign. The signs are: 1 L 1. A sign on the awning stating "Beverages Sandwiches Pastries", 2. A metal "Fresh Hot Popcorn" sign 3. Two metal "Wagon Popcorn" signs 4. A metal sign which states, "Exclusively Recreated for Popcorn Wagon Franchise, Inc." The applicant feels that a popcorn wagon connotes mainly popcorn, and she wishes to indicate that other items are for sale, as well as popcorn. Section 16.20.210 Wall Signs-Single Business Use: (B) Size: B. "Size shall not exceed one square foot for each five front lineal feet of the building...." The staff has determined that one length and two short sides of the wagon may be counted as pedestrian frontage, for a total length of 18 feet. Therefore, a total of 3.6 square feet of exterior sign area and a maximum of two exterior signs are permitted. The Village popcorn wagon has four existing exterior metal signs which are attached to the wagon. The larger sign contains 5.6 square feet and states, "Fresh Hot Popcorn". The smaller sign contains 1.5 square feet and states, "Exclusively Recreated for Popcorn Wagon Franchise, Inc." These two signs total 7.1 square feet. In addition, two metal signs of .6 square feet each, which state "Wagon Popcorn" are attached near the top of the wagon on the front and one side. The staff determined that all 4 of the metal signs count as exterior signs, and the total area of these signs is 8.3 square feet. The applicant wishes to have 4 square feet of sign area on the existing awning, in addition to the four metal signs of 8.3 square feet, making five exterior signs totaling 12.3 square feet. This would require a variance of 8.7 square feet to the 3.6 square feet of total sign area allowed. Section 16.20.110: Projecting and Hanging Signs: (D) Number: D. "Number, one sign per vehicular street or major pedestrian way which the business abuts, with a maximum of two signs as determined by the administrator, subject to review by the Design Review Board." 2 Two exterior signs are allowed, and there are four existing metal signs attached to the wagon. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a fifth exterior sign, or three more than is permitted in the sign code. The applicant feels the metal signs affixed to the wagon should be considered part of the design of the popcorn wagon, and thus not counted as sign area. II. FINDINGS AND STAFF RESPONSES Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship and the Board must find that, A.~ There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign 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 z~ot ax~z~ly generally to all businesses or enterprises. y Staff Response: 1. Variance to Acceptable Information on Sian While it is true that people associate popcorn wagons with popcorn, generally, people are also aware that popcorn wagons sell more than just popcorn. The popcorn wagon is permitted a menu board of 5 square feet and two window signs totalling 5.4 square feet to explain the various menu options (total window area is 36.25 square feet). In addition, the popcorn wagon is permitted to have two exterior signs stating the name of the business. The staff feels that the wording on the awning is not necessary, given the allowable signage. 2. Variance to Amount of Sian Area Permitted and Variance to Number of Signs Permitted The popcorn wagon is permitted two exterior signs with an area totalling 3.6 square feet. However, the popcorn wagon was designed with four exterior signs with a total sign area of 8.3 square feet, or 3 4.7 square feet of exterior sign area over the allowed 3.6 square feet. These signs were part of the original wagon design, and were first placed on Town of Vail land in 1978. The staff feels that this business location does not have special circumstances requiring additional signs or sign area. We believe the popcorn wagon's design calls attention to itself, and thus does not require an additional sign nor a sign area greater than that which is allowed under the code (3.6 square feet). B. That special circumstances were not created by the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. Staff Response: 1. Variance to Acr.antahlP Information Permitted on Sian - - - - Staff feels no special circumstances have been created. 2. Variance to Amount of Sian Area Permitted and Variance to Number of Signs Permitted Staff feels no special circumstances have been created. C. That the granting of the variance will be in general harmony with the purpose of this title and will not be materially detrimgnt-al to fihe persons residing or working in the vicinity. _ toi adjacent property, to the neiahb~rh~~d, or to the public welfare in general. Staff Response: 1. Variance to Acceni-ahle Information Permitted on Sian The staff feels that the granting of the variance would set a precedent that would not be in general harmony with the purpose of the sign code. 4 2. Variance to Amount of Sian Area Permitted and Variance to Number of Sians Permitted Because of the unique design and small size of the popcorn wagon, the staff feels the signage should be brought into conformance with the sign code. The staff feels that the granting of these variances will not be in general harmony with the purpose of this title. D. The .variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this title any more than is required to identify the applicant's business or use. Staff Response: 1. Variance to Acceptable Information Permitted on Sian Although the applicant feels that the popcorn wagon implies the sale of only popcorn, the staff feels that the two window signs and the menu board are adequate to inform the pedestrian that more than just popcorn is sold at the wagon. 2. Variance to Amount of Sian Area Permitted and Variance to Number of Sians Permitted The staff feels that the unique design of the popcorn wagon, the two exterior signs, the two window signs, and the menu board are more than adequate to identify the applicant's business. we believe the business is in a very visible location in the center of a major pedestrian plaza of the Village. For these reasons, we think the variances depart more than necessary from the Town of Vail Sign Code. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The staff recommends denial of the requested variances. We can find no physical hardship. We find that the requested variances do not meet the criteria necessary to justify a variance. 5 1. Variance to Acceptable Information Permitted on Signs The staff recommends denial of the requested variance to allow additional wording which does not include the name of the business. The applicant's request to use an exterior sign to name only products which are available, and not limit this wording to the acceptable 400, would set a precedent that the staff finds insupportable. 2. Variance to Amount of Sign Area Permitted and Variance to Number of Sians Permitted The staff recommends denial of the requested variances to the number of signs and to the amount of sign area permitted for the popcorn wagon. We feel that the design and location of the popcorn wagon draws attention to the business. We also feel that it is important to maintain the unique design of the wagon, and feel that additional signs and sign area on such a small structure would not be in harmony with the purpose of the sign code. 6 i 1 .r IH~, ai 4 it F a Gr...~ '~:T a• 4 f .1 ~ Iowa ofi nail 75 south frontage road office of community development vail, Colorado 81657 (303)479-2138 (303)479-2139 . September 11, 1991 Ms. Jan Wening 434 Gore Creek Drive D1B Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Sign Variance Request Dear Jan: I am sorry that the Design Review Board meeting lasted so late and that you had to spend so much time waiting for your turn. It is impossible to tell how long each item will take, and therefore the staff cannot tell you exactly when to come. Please accept my apology for the length of the meeting. . The DRB did consider your request, however. Following are the results of their review: 1. The first variance, to allow the wording on the awning to not contain the name of the business, "Popcorn Wagon", was denied. The DRB felt that there was no hardship. They approved the awning itself, but not the wording on the awning (Beverages, Sandwiches, Pastries). 2, The DRB determined that the metal signs affixed to the wagon are a part of the wagon design and should not be counted as signage. If these 4 signs are not counted as signage, then you do not need two of the requested variances: a variance to allow more signs than are permitted, and a variance to allow more sign area than is permitted. As I already stated, the denial of the wording on the awning as well as the decision to consider the metal signs as part of the wagon design, will be a recommendation to the Town Council. The Council must hear this request "as promptly as practicable at a subsequent regular meeting" as stated in the sign variance section, i ~ 16.36.080. You stated that you had to be out of town, and would send a letter requesting that the Council meeting be postponed until you could return. Please send this letter as soon as possible, and we will schedule an alternative date that is convenient for you. Again, I apologize for the long time that you had to wait. I assume that you could wait no longer, and had to leave. One last request of the Design Review Board was that your menu be on a display board rather than on paper in the popcorn wagon. We can discuss this when you return. Please call if you have any questions, and I look forward to working with you on your proposal. Sincerely, . s ~ c, Betsy R ~solack Planning Technician . I~ } , bed x+14 ry ~ I. / - +x ~ ~ L .mot ~ l t~ MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: December 9, 1991 SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit for an outdoor dining patio for the Gallery Building (Russell's Restaurant), located in the Commercial Core I zone district, 228 Bridge Streetla part of Lot A, Block 5, Vail Village First Filing. Applicant: Ron Riley/D.R.R., Inc. Planner: Mike Mollica I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow fora 173 sq. ft. outdoor dining deck at Russell's Restaurant, located in the Gallery Building in Vail Village. The Gallery Building is in the Commercial Core I zone district, which requires a conditional use permit to add an outdoor dining deck. The deck is proposed to be located along the west elevation of the Gallery Building, and would be located entirely upon public right-of-way. The applicant is proposing a "winter version" of the dining deck, as well as a "summer version." The winter dining deck would be permanent and would extend out 3'-9'fz" from the, existing face of the building. This is the same distance that the two existing Town planters extend out from the face of the Gallery Building. The proposal calls fora "temporary" dining deck for the summer season. The summer dining deck would extend out a total of 6'-9" from the face of the building, or an additional 2'-11'fi" beyond the winter deck. At the tightest point, the summer deck would reduce the width of Bridge Street to approximately 13'-6". The summer deck would include a removable steel railing system, as well as a removable floor system for the deck. Both versions of the deck (winter and summer) would be contained within a 3'r~-foot high steel railing system. The floor system of the dining deck would be located at the same elevation as the existing floor of the interior of Russell's Restaurant. As it relates to the elevation of Bridge Street, the floor system would be located approximately 2 feet above the existing asphalt. Rekord doors would be added to the west elevation of the Gallery Building to provide access to the dining deck and to create a more open, airy feeling to the interior restaurant. The applicant has also proposed to wrap the summer deck with redwood flower boxes. Additionally, afree-standing bench would be added to the area at the southeast side of the covered bridge (to compensate for the removal of the bench on the west elevation of the Gallery Building). 1 t ,Y Since the November 11, 1991 PEC worksession, the applicant has modified the proposal in the following manner: • The deck has been pulled back, from the entrance to the Gallery Building, by approximately 6-'0". A portion of the existing Town planter, which includes the Gallery Building's fire department water connection, would remain. (Please see attached site plans.) • ~ The northwest corner of the deck would be angled more sharply to further reduce the decks intrusion into Bridge Street. • The floor area of the proposed dining deck has been reduced from 207 square feet, to 173 square feet. IL BACKGROUND On October 22, 1991, the Town Council (by a vote of 6-0) unanimously approved Ron Riley's request to proceed through the planning process for a conditional use permit. This initial approval was required because all of the proposed improvements for the outdoor dining deck for the Gallery Building would be located within the public right-of-way, and on Town of Vail property. Staff has measured some of the existing dimensions of the "usable right-of-way" along Bridge Street. The results are as follows: 1. Existing interior width of the Covered Bridge = 10 feet. 2. Existing width of Bridge Street between the Gallery Building (includes Town planters) and the pocket park = 16 feet. 3. Existing width of Bridge Street between the Covered Bridge Building steps and the Slifer Building steps = 27 feet. 4. Existing width of Bridge Street between Pepi's Bar and Restaurant entrance and the steps at the Gorsuch Building = 24 feet. 5. Existing width of Bridge Street between the Gorsuch dining deck and Pepi's dining deck = 21 feet. The PEC initially reviewed this request on November 11, 1991. This was a worksession and the draft minutes of the meeting are attached to this memorandum. . 2 ' III. RELATED POLICIES IN THE VAIL VILLAGE URBAN DESIGN GUIDE PLAN AND THE VAIL VILLAGE MASTER PLAN There are no specific Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan sub-area concepts which apply to this proposal. However, the Vail Village Design Considerations specifically addresses decks and patios as follows: "Dining decks and patios, when properly designed and sited, bring people to the streets, opportunities to look and be looked at, and generally contribute to the liveliness of a busy street--making a richer pedestrian experience than if those streets were empty. A review of successful decks/patios in Vail reveals several common characteristics: - direct sunlight from 11:00-3:00 increases use by many days/year and protects from wind; - elevated 2 feet to give views into the pedestrian walk (and not the reverse); - physical separation from pedestrian walk of 3-5 feet (planter better than a wall); - overhang gives pedestrian scale/shelter. Decks and patios should be sited and designed with due consideration to: - sun - views - wind - pedestrian activity" e;u'c~E ~?ace - ~f C,7N' nt'., G'.~io~~i . • L;r~-~~d~e er~~ctic're ~ ~~~f• pug ,Cr . . ~ ~V - - - ~I ~ - ~ ~ ~ - - - ~~~,o°° II - 1~ - .:7 , The Vail Village Master Plan does not contain any specific sub-area concepts which directly relate to this r..,YOSaI. However, the staff believes that the following goals and objectives, as stated in the Vail Village Master Plan, are relevant to this proposal: "Goal #1 - Encourage high quality redevelopment while preserving the unique architectural scale of the Village in order to sustain its sense of community and identity. 1.2 Objective: Encourage the upgrading and redevelopment of residential and commercial facilities. Goal #2 - To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-around economic health and viability for the Village and for the community as a whole. • 2.2.1 Policy: The design criteria in the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan shall be the primary guiding document to preserve the existing architectural scale and character of the core area of Vail Village. 2.4 Objective: Encourage the development of a variety of a new commercial activity where compatible with existing land uses. 2.4.2 Policy: Activity that provides night life and evening entertainment for both the guest and the community shall be encouraged. Goal #3 - To recognize as a top priority the enhancement of the walking experience throughout the Village. 3.1 Objective: Physically improve the existing pedestrian ways by landscaping and other improvements. 3.1.1 Policy: Private development projects shall incorporate streetscape improvements (such as paver treatments, landscaping, lighting and seating areas), along adjacent pedestrian ways. 4 ,'t~ ^T~~. - 3.3 Objective: Encourage a wide variety of activities, events, and street life along pedestrian ways and plazas. 3.3.2 Policy: Outdoor dining is an important streetscape feature, and shall be encouraged in commercial infill or redevelopment projects. Goal #6 - To ensure the continued improvement of the vital operational elements of the Village. 6.2.2 Policy: Minor improvements (landscaping, decorative paving, open dining decks, etc.), may be permitted on Town of Vail land or right-of-way (with review and approval by the Town Council and Planning and Environmental Commission when applicable) provided that Town . operations such as snow removal, street maintenance and fire department access and operation are able to be maintained at current levels. Special design (i.e. heated pavement), maintenance fees, or other considerations may be required to offset impacts on Town services." IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Upon review of Section 18.60, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of the Town. As stated in the zoning code, the Commercial Core I (CCI) Zone District is intended to "provide sites and maintain the unique character of the Vail Village commercial area, with its mixture of lodges and commercial establishments in a predominantly pedestrian environment. The CCI district is intended to insure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to permitted types of buildings and uses. The district regulations in accordance with the Vail. Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations prescribe site development standards that are intended to insure the maintenance and preservation of the tightly clustered arrangement of buildings fronting on pedestrianways and public greenways, and to insure continuation of 5 r the building scale and architectural qualities that distinguish the ' Village." Generally, the staff believes that the applicant's proposal complies with the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan as indicated in Section III of this memorandum. We believe that outdoor dining decks, associated with a restaurant, are an appropriate site development in the Village core. The applicant is proposing to add redwood flower boxes around the perimeter of the dining deck, however, one Town of Vail planter will be lost in its entirety, and another partially removed. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities needs. It is the staff opinion that the proposed outdoor dining deck will have no negative effects upon any of the above listed criteria. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. It is this criteria with which staff has the most concern. With the summer deck in place, Bridge Street would be narrowed down, at the tightest point, to a width of approximately 13'-6". The staff is very concerned with further constricting Bridge Street and with creating a choke point at this very heavily used area of the Village. This section of Bridge Street is considered by staff to be a transition zone for pedestrians, bicyclists and rollerbladers accessing the Village core. Narrowing the width of Bridge Street is a concern and pedestrian safety is a major issue, especially given the wide variety of users in this area, and the fact that the western edge of Bridge Street drops off into the pocket park (there is no guard rail). The Public Works Department maintains that street sweeping will become more difficult with the proposed summer dining deck in place. The Fire Department concerns and issues, which were identified at the PEC worksession, have all been resolved. 6 4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surrounding uses. The staff is still concerned with the overall aesthetic appearance of the dining deck (during the summer season) and its potential for partially blocking views both up and down Bridge Street. We are concerned with the potential for blocking views of the covered bridge (from the south). We believe that with the curve of Bridge Street and the angle of the covered bridge as it crosses Gore Creek, that the eastern portion of the bridge may be partially screened with the proposed dining deck in place. The staff believes that the addition of Rekord doors to the Gallery Building will be a very positive addition, not only to the building, but also to the Village. Rekord doors, by increasing the visiblity of dining activity, will add to the street life and visual interest. The addition of a bench, adjacent to the covered bridge, will be a positive amenity and will add to the pedestrian environment and character in the Village. B. Findings The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findines before granting a conditional use Hermit: 1. That the proposed location of the use in accord with the purposes of this Ordinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is .located. 2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of this Ordinance. 7 V. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS - The staff is recommending denial of the applicant's request for a conditional use permit, as we believe the request does not meet findings 3 and 4 as outlined in the above section of this memorandum. Although the staff cannot support the applicant's request as presented, the staff would be able to support a scaled back version of the y..,rosal. We believe that a dining deck which extended out 3'-9'fz" from the west elevation of the building (to the face of the existing Town planters), would be acceptable. This type of expansion would have no impact on the existing pedestrian flow along Bridge Street. We believe that an outdoor dining deck in this configuration would allow for approximately three to four, rectangular dining tables. We also feel that a dining deck in this configuration, with the retractable Rekord doors, would provide the outdoor dining experience that the applicant desires. The staff would also suggest the addition of an awning, on the facade above the retractable doors, to add more color to the face of the building. If the PEC approves either the applicant's request for the outdoor dining deck, or the staff's suggestion for a scaled back version of the dining deck, the staff would recommend that two conditions be placed on the approval as follows: 1) That the applicant agree that the dining deck will not be cleared of snow onto the adjacent Town right-of-way, and that the applicant work out some arrangement to have snow privately hauled from the site. 2) That the applicant install 2-3 aspens in the planter north of the proposed dining deck. ~:~~®~n ~ 8 4T, 1 ~ ~ n•~+s}ing Qirur\g roan ngtllor 6r:nreonu area -r ' ~ srvculra' i ~ ~ ~ I hack rej'rxia'oa has ~ ~ ~ I ~ ' ~{r1( Or..ly.S.~,n~ ~ `y~ 'n y \ ~ Trv ~r/ l cleu^''°~ vmC.(~mK»'~„' I' I 11'J ' TO tiYMh~ mYErl_~ i ~ t ~J( ' rbM~ J G~-o a ~ (\/`~\/~'.rQOC'p/V/1J1 ~ wx orswnma' ~ N ~ _ _~--T ''eY `yN('~ y~Tq SAM fG~G^ - - P~OWLY ~ pry ' ~wti ~¢S e!«icned 4n 3Kai rattngS @ {;owe Ievel r^r't1 1 v N v s 1?~e,~ ~31dJ . o T d,:,~ ~ ~,uartr+c~ c~.cs.rrr Bwu~~uG RUSSLLL.~S REStAl1RANT w ~ / p ~YfLtAUlpn 'JT ~ .N ~ ~ QOwR L 0 V G ~CQQ ~ ~-L.~_b ~ 6rid~a ~ a 1 c a ~ s r. pd r I~ ~r..,~„f 11 1~ 4,---~ - ~ i~ ~,e ~zroe~ ~wt,at,r~ I I ~ - _ - ~ ~ ' r • nw ~{ZP(DrL~+1e}rn~y-nblt '{0°on !Y,oh~1'~,±~y-,U ` 111 ~ ~ ~ ~ CnnVV 'vet l SFscl~ gax!6d`""` ' ' ~ IIr'"~'~=t I ~ ~yzd ~+,w ~a~i y ' 7 - ~ ~ ~ e~+ _ ~ q D y+.~dzrk rw.nmv i ~ ~ `~,'^~4 .

In response to a question from Chuck Crist, Richard indicated the banner would be attached to the trailer. The state requires the trailer be set back 50 feet from the North Frontage Road right of way. Based on the site plan, it appeared the sales trailer would be approximately 50 feet from the road. Gena Whitten believed it looked a little "tight." She requested the rest of the survey be presented. Kathy was concerned about knowing where the property line was, so that the Commission would know where the trailer was actually proposed to be located and to insure the business was located entirely on West Vail Texaco property and not in the state right of way or on adjacent property. Kathy also asked how the fence would be stabilized. Mr. . Matthews said it would be attached to T-posts by black ties. Diana Donovan believed it was important that everything be located on Mr. Matthew's property, and that the trailer be removed as soon after Christmas as possible. Diana suggested all material be removed from the site by December 26th. Mr. Matthews stated he had no intention of leaving anything up after Christmas but he was reluctant to committing to removing everything from the site by December 26th as inclement weather could make it impossible ,for him to comply with this deadline. Jill reminded the PEC that based on Ordinance 43, Series of 1991 which will allow plant product businesses in the Heavy Service Zone District, the site must be cleaned with 72 hours of the date the conditional use permit expires. Kathy asked that the fence be kept in a straight, vertical position. She thought it would be nice if the trailer had a red door. 2. A request for a worksession for a conditional use permit for an outdoor dining patio for the Gallery Buildino (Russell's Restaurantl. located in the Commercial Core I zone district. 228 Bridge Streetla part of Lot A. Block 5. Vail Vitlaae First Filing. Applicant: Ron Riley/D.R.R.. Inc. Planner: Mike Mollica Mike Mollica presented the request. As this was a worksession, no staff recommendation was given, but staff raised several issues for discussion. Applicants Ron Riley and Mike Staughton were present for the discussion. Ron Riley pointed out that the deck would only be used for 90 days in the summer, and did not believe it would obstruct views on Bridge Street. He believed a summertime encroachment of 2'-11'/2" was minor, stressing the fact that lower Bridge Street was "sterile," and that the dining deck would add interest to the area. He believed that, due to the popularity of outdoor dining, a restaurant was almost required to have a dining area outdoors. Mr. Riley advocated the deck since otherwise there was no visual penetration into the Gallery Building, and because of that, people could not tell there was a restaurant contained therein. Ludwig Kurz was concerned about narrowing Bridge Street, stating it was easily one of the 2 L~ ~I uU ~ ~ y most congested areas a great deal of the time. He was not convinced this was the best use , of public land. Mr. Riley reminded the Commission that this request was only fora 90-day period each summer. He explained that, in the summer, people walk more slowly than in the winter. e Jim Shearer was concerned with the use of public land. He wanted to get Pete Burnett's opinion on cleaning the streets. Mike said he had spoken with Pete, and Pete indicated that, if the deck was in place, the south end of Bridge Street would require hand sweeping. Ron Riley said the distance across Bridge Street would be 13 feet. Mike Staughton said the Town did not clean the streets every week, but only 2-3 times per summer. Mr. Riley said he could build the deck so it could be removed for street sweeping. Jim discussed the sterility of that end of Bridge Street. He asked what the Town of Vail would gain from the proposal, and suggested Mr. Riley could do something to make the area more inviting. Chuck Crist agreed with Ron Riley regarding the sterile look, and liked the concept of a removable deck. He was concerned with the loss of two Town of Vail planters, as well as the bench between the planters. He indicated the bench had frequent use. Chuck also was in favor of narrower streets and the proposed rekord doors. Ron Riley was frustrated because no service trucks were allowed on this end of Bridge Street, and indicated the upper end of Bridge Street became much more restricted when service trucks were making deliveries than his proposal would make the area. Gena Whitten believed that this was an important entrance to the town, and Mr. Riley could achieve the transparency with a 3-foot wide deck and rekord doors, which would have the feeling of an outdoor deck without going onto public land. She felt this was very valuable space. Kathy agreed with Ludwig and Gena, stating that rekord doors would give better exaosure to the outside and better planters could be designed. Kathy could not support the construction of a deck on public land, not wanting to further constrict the area. Ron Riley indicated the location of the restaurant's restrooms created an interior constriction, and rekord doors alone would not achieve his objectives. Diana could not support a deck on public property, but suggested pulling back the deck. Jim could also support such a revised proposal. Jim reminded the Commission that the Town was running out of Village restaurants, and believed undulation on that side of the street was important. He strongly supported retaining restaurants in the Village core areas, especially restaurants at street level. However, in this particular situation, he was concerned about potential bottlenecking. Ron Riley indicated he would investigate other possibilities to ensure he did not restrict the area and would look for a proposal which would enhance the area. He suggested a 90-day trial basis. Chuck supported this use for public land, as it would increase the vitality of an area which was 3 ~ ~ currently "ugly and dead." Mike Mollica summarized the Commission's position and stated some of the members had difficulty in supporting this use of public land. 1. A request to amend Section 18.52.Off-Street Parking and Loading. of the Town's zoning ordinance to allow car rental businesses to lease ~arkina spaces in the Commercial Core III zone district. a Applicant: Peter Jacobs of Davs Inn Planner: Andv Knudtsen Andy Knudtsen presented the request. Staff supported the proposed amendment. Chuck Crist asked if this amendment would allow more than one agency per property: He .asked for a simplification of the wording. Diana Donovan was concerned with the wording regarding the term of the lease. She requested that section be simplified. She believed landscaping should be required. Kathy Langenwalter did not think an amendment addressing landscaping would be necessary, as it was addressed in the parking section of the code. Andy pointed out that the parking section dealt only with new parking lots. Diana believed the Town should have the ability to require additional landscaping for this type of use. Chuck Crist moved to recommend that Town Council approve the request to amend Section 18.52, Off-Street Parking and Loading, of the Town's zoning ordinance to allow car rental businesses to lease parking spaces in the Commercial Core III zone district, incorporating the Commission's concerns into the ordinance regarding the ability of the Town to require landscaping, allowing the length of lease to range from 1-12 months, and limiting each property within CCIII to a maximum of one agency with a maximum of 15 cars. Jim Shearer seconded tt~e motion. It was unanimously approved, 6-0. 2. A request for a conditional use permit to allow a well water treatment facility in the Agricultural/Oven Space zone district. generally located south of the Vail Golf Course brid4e on Vail Vallev Drive, and more specifically described as follows: To be located within 100-foot radius from a point on the rioht bank of Gore Creek whence the northwest corner of Section 9. Township 5 South, Range 80 West. 6th P.M. bears North 73 degrees West. 2,080 feet. Applicant: Vail Vallev Consolidated Water District Planner: Mike Mollica Mike Mollica explained the request. Staff recommended approval of the request with the conditions listed in the memorandum. Discussion ensued regarding whether the proposed structure should become a shelter for golfers or a utility building which disappeared into the willows. Kent Rose, engineer for the project, indicated the proposed building was 14' x 24', and the size was necessary in order to 4 ~~1~ MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: AIPP Board DATE: December 12, 1991 SUBJECT: Current Information on VTC Project - •:::.v : ::.:v v•-: v... yi.-:: 'f.{............yv:.v-v:: %:r ~x:.v::.v:: r: ...v... ...3.ti:4i~ii?.Yiv'f.:i: ii::...:...:.....: i:'.. . -:.'F.::::~.....v :....::{ri. ~i:.............::~::-$: X:w:::2!?,f......w::. n:...:: :r :•:'N::....- fY ..:1..........::: .....i v:.. v:; i...:.......v.: .....................rYriiii:%.iiii i}::•.::: iv r`.:...

As you may know, each of the Western Slope's 20 counties is represented on our Board of_ Directors, and those directors are elected for two year terms, Since we do not take policy positions on issues without a vote of the Board, this is the group that truly determines Western Slope policy on a wide range of issues. Eagle County's board representatives are to be elected at this meeting, to take office at our annual convention in February, Your current Board member is Tom Harned of. Gypsum (representing Black Bear Real Estate, and the Eagle Chamber of Commerce), and your alternate is Eagle rancher Ken Norman, All CLUB ZO members are entitled to an equal vote in this process, and new members can join any time (including at this meeting), We'll make this an update, too, on all the current and recent CLUB 20 activities, so it should be interesting and enjoyable. The meeting will be held Wednesday, January 8 in the 2nd .Floor Board Room, Vail/Beaver Creek Jet Center, at the Eagle County Airport. As you probably know, it is on the South side of the airport, access off Cooley Mesa Road. It will begin at 4:00 pm, and should last only 30 minutes or so. Our Board Chairman, Doug Lockhart of Grand Junction, will also be there to update you on our activities. All Western Slopers should have a seat at the table when such important decisions affecting our economic future are made, We sincerely hope you can come, Sincerely, ~aQ~ Greg E.
