Site Visit: Tim Devlin The Slifer Building, 230 Bridge Street, Part of Lots B and C, Block 5, Vail Village First Filing. Applicant: Rod and Beth Slifer. Action Requested of Council: Visit this site in preparation for evening meeting discussion regarding an appeal of the PEC's decision to deny a request to modify the landscape plan associated with the previously approved exterior alteration and site coverage variance for the Slifer Building. Backaround Rationale: A chronology of events pertaining to the landscape plan in question can be found in the enclosed PEC memorandum dated September 28,1992. Please note the PEC has suggested (and would allow) a modification to the planter that would be less costly to the applicant and would not require any alterations to the building itself. The PEC voted unanimously to deny the request, 6-0. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the request. Although staff believes the applicant's addition to The Slifer Building is a positive improvement which benefits Vail Village, staff feels the installation of the originally approved planter, or the alternative planter design recommended by the PEC, are preferred design solutions. 7:00 P.M. 3.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The Lodge Tower is requesting a sign variance for the total sign area and the number of signs allowed. The sections of the Municipal Code which relate to the variance request are listed below: Section 16.20.210 -Single Business Use B. Size, one square foot for each five front lineal feet of the building, with a maximum area of 20 sauare feet. combined m2xim~!.~:~ for more than one sign shall not exceed twenty squaze feet; C. Number, one sign per vehicular street or major p~ti. ~vay which the business abuts, with a maximum of 2 ner busing . ~ •ir ;mined by the administrator subject to review by the design rev?.ew i;c.._. The Lodge Tower, as a single business, is allowed up to 2 signs with a maxim:~m combined sign area of 20 square feet. The allowable height is up to 25 feet above existing grade. The development's existing signs consists of: • --One 17 squaze foot wall sign facing Vail Road on the west elevation. --One 3 square foot wall sign on the north elevation at the building entry. The variance request includes: --One additional wall sign of 5 square feet on the south elevation, at a maximum height of 25 feet above grade. 1 Overall, the applicant is requesting one additional sign over what is allowed and an - increase in total sign azea, by 5 square feet. (Please see the attached drawings for descriptions and specific locations of the signs.) The proposed sign will be painted on the wall and will be lit with a duect light. A graphic has also been included in the application which is located above the sign. The lettering will be dazk grey while the graphic will incorporate the building trim color, grey and other colors. The staff has determined that this graphic does not relate to the nature of the business and should not be included in the total 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. buildines. topography, vecetation. lien 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 enternrise to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not apply Generally to all businesses or entcrnrises. Staff Response: Staff believes that The Lodge Tower does }gave a physical hardship because of identification problems due to the location of the project in relationship to The Lodge at Vail. The large size of the building, along with the building's location, make the 20 sq. ft. size and the allowance of 2 signs restrictive. Similaz lazge hotel projects have previously received sign vaziances due to the special circumstances related to their projects. Some examples are as follows: L'Ostello: no additional signs; 10 additional sq. ft.; 65' above grade; staff suggested a 3rd directional sign to distinguish 2 projects using a single access. Marriott Mark Resort: 1 additional sign; 22 sq. ft. additional sign area. Doubletree Hotel (Evergreen): 1 additional sign; 20 sq. ft. additional sign area; 65 feet above grade. Vantage Point: no additional signs; 8 sq. ft. additional; 32.5 feet above grade. 2 . • Landmark Condominiums: 1 additional sign; 4 sq. ft. additional sign - area; no additional height requested. The staff feels that The Lodge Tower has similar conditions as the projects listed above and therefore, some increase in the combined square footage and the number of the signs is warranted. The staff believes that the proposed sign would improve identification of the project for pedestrians entering the building f,~,.., the ski base. B. That special circumstances were not created by the applicant or anyone privy to the applicant. Staff Response: Special circumstances were not created by the applicant. C. That the wanting of the variance will be in general harmony with the pumose 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 eeneral. Staff Response: Staff feels that the proposed sign on the south elevation is appropriate and consistent with other signs approved for projects of this nature and is in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood. 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: ' The applicant is requesting an additional 5 square feet of sign area beyond the allowable 20 square feet. Staff feels that the existing 17 sq. ft. wall sign on the west elevation, the existing 3 sq. ft. wall sign at the entry door and the proposed 5 sq. ft. for an additional wall sign will adequately identify the building from all prominent access points. We feel that an additional sign located on the south elevation is appropriate and does not depart more than is necessary from the sign code. 3 III. S~'AFF RECOMMENDATIONS - The staff supports the requested variance. We find that the increase in size and number are in harmony with the signs of the surrounding area. Variance requests of this nature have been granted to projects having similaz circumstances. We believe the request meets the variance criteria as described above, specifically criteria II A, B, C and D. In reviewing variance requests of this nature, staff has tried to maintain continuity in our decision making and recommendations to the Design Review Boazd and Town Council. We believe approval of this vaziance would be consistent with past sign vaziance approvals. 4 a s i r' r / ~,K~ fFouT DOOR. 1, ~ ~1 ~ ~ 1' ~ 'y ; ~ ~ ~ ~ it r' J ' ~ ~ ~ r~~' ~ 1 ~ ~ - ~ . iN r , ~,a ~~~r r ~ ~ ~ ~`L~; ?

DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIANCE REQUESTED, On February 24, 1992, the PEC approved an exterior alteration and a site coverage variance request for the Slifer Building. Construction on the project is now substantially completed, and at this time the applicant is requesting the PEC approve a modification to the approved landscape plan. Specifically, the applicant is proposing to delete an 18-inch tall stone-faced planter, which vas to be constructed immediately south of the addition's entrance door. The planting area in this planter was to be approximately 8 square feet. The applicant proposes instead to place 2 to 3 potted piants in this area. As a part of the redevelopment project, the applicant removed an existing Norway Maple from their property and installed the approved Town of Vail Streetscape Master Plan paving on a portion of the property which they own adjacent to the building. {n addition to installing the pavers, the applicants constructed an 18-inch tall, stone-faced - planter in the area between the addition and the Ore House's exterior deck wall. The net planting area in this planter is 39 square feet. A flowering crabapple and low growing junipers have been installed in this planter. !I. BACKGROUND The fo{lowing in a chronology of events pertaining to this planter: February 24, 1992: The PEC approved an exterior alteration and site coverage • variance for the Slifer building. The landscape plan that was approved provided for the 18-inch tai{ stone-faced planter that the applicant now wishes to substitute the' potted plants for. An evergreen tree was to be installed in the planter. r July 13, 1992: A request to modify the landscape plan was heard by the PEC to - replace the planter in question with potted plants. The general consensus of the PEC vas that the original proposal should be implemented and the planter built as designed. The applicant requested to table this item until August so that a suitable solution could be reached, and the request to table was granted by the PEC. August 24, 1992: At this meeting, the applicant proposed to add potted plants to the area in question instead of building the planter. The PEC was in agreement that the applicant needed to comply with the original landscape plan that had been approved, but would allow for a modification to be made to the proposed planter so that the new windovr that is slightly above grade would not have to be moved. in constructing the addition, the applicant has installed a window which extends nearly to the ground on the north elevation of the bay window addition. 1t was suggested by the PEC that the bottom of the planter could be excavated deeper and a tree planted without any exterior modifications being made to the building. Also, the PEC agreed that the planter could be altered from the originally approved 18-inch tall stone-faced planter to a lower height (6-12 inches) and that stucco could be used instead of the stone. September 28, 1992 The applicant Hour ~vishes the PEC to reconsider allowing for the pots to remain in place of the planter. Therefore, the request being heard today is to modify the landscape plan associated with the previously approved exterior alteration for the Slifer Building to allow for the two potted plants to be substituted for the planter. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS The staff is recommending denial of this request. Although we do believe that the applicant's addition to the Slifer Building is a very positive improvement which benefits the Village, the staff feels that the installation of the originally approved planter is the preferred design solution. The staff also feels that the modifications to the planter suggested by the PEC at the August 24th meeting would be an acceptable solution and would not appear to require any modifications to be made to the window. These suggestions included: i. excavating deeper than originally intended to plant the evergreen, yet not interfere with the window that has been installed close to grade; 2, reducing the planter wall height from 18 inches to 6-12 inches above grade; 3: to allow stucco to be used (matching existing) instead of stone on the face of the planter wall. ....a«.aze G 1~ 8.

Diana Donovan stated that the landsc ing sho Id not be junipers, but should include plants such as salisberry and chok perry with a quate root systems. Dalton Williams motioned to ove the request per staff memo and Diana Donovan's suggestion of th ndscape change, with Je Bowen seconding the motion. A vote was taken and it unanimous 6-0 to approve th equest with the afore- mentioned condition of ative plants being used on the terra d areas. / ~ 9.

Applicant: ~=.~Rod~and Beth Slifer` Planner: ~~=Tim Devlin Tim Devlin reviewed the staff memo with the Board. Ned Gwathmey, representing the applicant, asked that the request be considered. Kathy Langenwalter motioned to deny the request because the planter was an important part of the exterior alteration and site coverage variance granted by the PEC. The planter should be built as originally proposed or modified to decrease the height and allow stucco to be used; to be completed by Thanksgiving 1992. Jeff Bowen seconded the motion, with an unanimous vote 6-0 to deny the request as submitted. ~ ~ ~ i 10. A request for an amendme t to Chapter 18.57 Employee ousing for the Town of Vail Zoning Code.

Protection and Competition Act. As you may already know, on October 5th, both the House and Senate reached a two-thirds majority vote to override the President's veto. The Cable Television Consumer Protection Act (S. 12), requires the regulation of rates of basic cable service for the more than 95% of cable TV systems. Other provisions include the regulation of rates for installation and rental of home cable converter boxes and remote controls along with incorporating a set of minimum customer services standards for the cable companies into the bill as well. Thank you for contacting this office with your views on this matter.

While we personally support the majority of the changes, there is one change that we considered to be totally unacceptable: The fund shall be subject to appropriation... (c)Landscaping parks, open space and Public Rights-of-Way. We don't think there is a person in the Vail community that wouldn't support landscaping public rights-of-way but this should be a function of public works, not the RETT. Public Rights-of-Way is a very, broad language that should not be in the ordinance. The second reading of this ordinance (No. 10, series 1992) is scheduled for October 20, 1992 at 7:30pm. and we encourage all of you to reconsider the inclusion of this language.

Full support of this program is a vital investment for current and future generations of our county. As you know, every area of Eagle county has benefitted from the vision and tireless efforts of Maurie Nottingham and We Recycle. Under his auspices, this non-profit organization has provided a truly successful mechanism for dealing with the county's recyclable waste as well as for environmental education of residents of all ages. With the volume of valleywide recycling having grown by 25 percent this year alone, it is imperative that we as government leaders encourage this type of environmental responsibility on the part of our constituents. We realize that public funds are limited and many good causes must be supported. However, we urge you to.take a strong stand on matters which are important for the longterm well being of our county and its residents. Environmental concerns, and specifically waste disposal, are foremost as our landfill is reaching capacity far more quickly than expected and natural resources are diminishing. We Recycle currently diverts a significant 3 to 4 percent of the trash which would otherwise end up at the landfill, a percentage which can even be increased with adequate funding. While markets for recycled goods render current recycling efforts less effective than possible, we have made strides in educating our public about the importance of the effort and they are responding by making it a priority in daily life. Let's applaud these efforts, with confidence that the market end of the industry will catch up in time. We thank you for reconsidering your funding level for We Recycle and look forward to working with you to protect the environmental well being of Eagle County. Sincerely, Margaret A.

Since the passage of the Cable Act of 1984, which I authored, the cable television industry has been able to develop and deploy new technology, increase channel capacity and offer new programming and services. However, there have been some problems associated with basic cable rates and customer service. Many elements of the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act of 1991, S. 12, go well beyond the legitimate consumer issues of basic rates and customer service. I am concerned that these extraneous provisions would limit the ability of the industry to continue to invest in new technologies and programming that increase the number of choices available to consumers. Many of S. 12's provisions would unduly punish the industry while providing little benefit to consumers. I joined several of my colleagues in offering an alternative to S. 12 that focused on the consumer protection issues of rates and customer service. While the alternative included provisions to encourage competition for the industry, it deleted many of the onerous provisions of S. 12 that endanger the ability of the industry to bring new services to viewers. The alternative offered a more balanced and workable approach to addressing legitimate consumer concerns. Unfortunately, the Senate rejected the alternative and adopted S. 12. After the alternative failed, I opposed the legislation which I believe will hurt consumers . in the future. President Bush did veto the final version of S. 12. However, both the Senate and the House of Representatives voted to override the President's veto and S. 12 is now law. 1129 PENNSYLVANIA STREET 419 CANYON 1003 MAIN STREET 830 N. TEJON ST.
