A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF VAIL
SUPPORTING THE TRANSFER OF THE MILLS
TO THE VAIL PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT.
WHEREAS, the Town of Vail currently collects in taxes $543,243 and remits that amount
to the Vail Park and Recreation District for the operation of recreation functions within the joint
boundaries of the two governmental entities; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Vail believes this annual exercise of collection and transmission
of funds to be wasteful and an unnecessary complication in the conduct of the business of each
entity; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Vail is willing to reduce its mill levy by the exact amount of an
increase in the Vail Park and Recreation District mill levy so no change in taxation shall occur to
the joint constituents of the two governmental entities; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Vail believes it is in the best interest of the community for the
Recreation District to continue to manage all municipal recreational programs, services, and
facilities formerly administered by the Town.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Council of the Town of Vail, Colorado:
1. That the Council of the Town of Vail does proclaim its support for this exchange
of mill levy authority and urges the voters to approve the requested increase of 1.585 mills, in
return for a Town of Vail decrease of the same amount.
2. That the Town Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this resolution
is necessary and proper for the health, safety, and welfare of the Town of Vail and the inhabitants
thereof. .
3. That this resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Design Review Board FILE COPY
_ FROM: Community Development Department DATE: April 6, 1994
SUBJECT: A sign variance request for the Concert Hall Plaza Building, located at
616 West Lionshead CircleNail Lionshead 4th Filing.
Applicant: Concert Hall Plaza/Mark Matthews, Slifer
Management Company
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The Concert Hall Plaza Building is located between West Lionshead Circle and the Lionshead
pedestrian mall. The building has a pedestrian access easement, from the Town of Vail bus
stop on the west side, to the Lionshead Mall on the east side of the structure. A stairway of
approximately thirty-four steps is, located on the east side of the structure and is used for
pedestrian access from the Lionshead Mall level, to the main level retail spaces.
The applicant is requesting a variance to allow for the placement of an off-site, free-standing
building directory sign. As proposed, the sign would be located at the base of the steps (east
of the building) at the Lionshead Mall elevation on Town of Vail property. Due to the
difference in elevation between the Lionshead Mall pedestrian level and the Concert Hall
Plaza retail shops, the applicant believes that the directory sign would improve the exposure
of the businesses located in the building.
The applicants requested variance is from Section 16.26 of the Town of Vail Sign Code. This
section of the Sign Code reads as follows:
16.26 - Prohibitive Signs: 16.16.010 - Designated.
"The following signs shall not be permitted, erected or maintained in the
Town of Vail:
L. Off-premise advertising signs or any other
sign not pertinent and clearly incidental to
the permitted use on the property where
located."

II. BACKGROl1ND ,
" On March 8, 1994, the Vail Town Council unanimously granted the Concert Hall Plaza
Building permission to proceed through the planning process, to submit an application request
for a sign variance. This approval was required because the applicant is requesting to locate
the building directory sign upon Town of Vail property. The review process for this sign
variance request involves a hearing by the Design Review Board (DRB), and a final decision
by the Vail Town Council.
III. FINDINGS AND THE STAFF RESPONSES ;
Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must proye physical hardship
and the Board must find that, A. There are special circumstances or conditions applyinq to the land, buildinqs,
topoqraphy, veqetation, siqn structures or other matters on adiacent fots or
within the adiacent riqht-of-wav which would substantiallv restrict the
effectiveness of the siqn 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 applv penerallv to all
businesses or enterprises.
Staff Response: .
The staff believes that there are special circumstances relating to the physical location
of this building, with specific reference to the grade difference between the building's
main retail level and the Lionshead pedestrian mall, which do not generally apply to
other businesses or structures in the vicinity. Staff finds that the, location of this
building constitutes a physical hardship.
The proposed "joint directory sign for multi-tenant buildings" would meet all of the
Town's requirements as listed in Section 16.20.040. The maximum height of the sign
will not exceed 8 feet, and the maximum size of the sign would provide for 1 square
foot of sign area per tenant within the building, with an overall maximum size of 5
square feet.
B. That special circumstances were not created bv the applicant or anvone in privv
to the applicant.
Staff Response: ;
The staff does not believe that special circumstances were created by the applicant or
anyone in privy to the applicant.
~
C. That the qrantinq of the variance will be in qeneral harmonv with the qurpose of
this title and will not be materiallv detrimental to the persons residina or workin-Q
in the vicinitv to adiacent propertv to the neiqhborhood, 'or to the public welfare
, in qeneral. ,
~
2 i ,
.
Staff Response:
The Town's Sign Code allows a joint directory sign for a multi-tenant building to have a
maximum area of 25 square feet. The applicant is proposing a joint directory sign with
a maximum size of 5 square feet. The staff believes that the proposed location and
size of the directory sign would be in compliance with the Town's Sign Code and would
not be detrimental to any persons residing or working in the vicinity, adjacent to the
property, or in the neighborhood.
D. 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.
Staff Response:
The staff believes that the applicant's proposed location for a building directory sign, at
the base of the main stairway on the Lionshead Mall, does not depart from the
provisions of the Town of Vail Sign Code any more than is required to identify the
businesses within the Concert Hall Plaza Building. The staff finds that the applicant's
request is reasonable in location, size and height.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff is recommending approval of the applicant's request to place a joint directory sign at
the base of the east stairway adjacent to the Concert Hall Plaza Building. The staff finds that
Criteria A, B, C and D have been met as described above. The staff's recommendation for
approval includes the following conditions:
1. That the existing building directory sign, located at the first landing level of the
stairs, be removed prior to the installation of the new building directory sign.
2. That a lease agreement be entered into with the Town of Vail to allow for the
sign, prior to the installation of the new building directory sign.
3. That the new building directory sign be installed prior to May 15, 1994, at which
time the Town landscape crews will plant the flower beds.
4. That a Town of Vail "public way permit" be obtained prior to installation. This
permit will insure that the sign post will not damage any existing sprinklers or
utilities in the area.
5. That the Town of Vail bus stop, at West Lionshead Circle, be identified on the
new building directory sign.

RE: SIGN VARIANCE REQUEST
The Owners and Tenants of Concert Hall Plaza in Lionshead are
requesting a variance be given to allow for the placement of a sign
directory at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the eastern
side of Concert Hall Plaza. The land where the sign would be
located is on Town of Vail property so along with the request to
allow for an off-site directory we are asking the Town to allow us
to lease the area (about one square foot).
Placing an additional sign within the buildings' property would not
help any for the lot lines follow the footprint of the building and
the building is barely visible from the bottom of the stairs. Most
tourists when they come to this area are not aware that there are
'additional shops and restaurants and placing a directory at the
bottom of the stairs would be very helpful.

Re: Kempf Residence
Gentlemen,
As you know I am a member of the Design Review Board of the Town of Vail. Since the
above mentioned residence is being brought up before you, I thought that I should share with you
my thoughts about the Design Review Board's decision with regard to the architecture of the
proposed dwelling.
When the project. was originally proposed , I was one of two members of the board who
voted against approval of the architecture as presented, as we both felt that while the architecture
might work in some other location it was definitely not compatible with the immediate
neighborhood in which it was to be set. The home seemed to be cold and have a Federal or
Governmental look, primarily due to the use af rectangular flat sandstone on the exterior. This
coupled with some rather modern looking dormers seemed to be at odds with the alpine, wooded
structures that were in the immediate neighborhood.
This plan was voted upon by the DRB and since it came up at a two to two tie ( with one
member abstaining), the application for approval failed. We then set out to make our thoughts
known to the architect for the project. The next time we saw the plans they were changed
somewhat. The odd shaped dormers were reversed to more fit with the roof line but the stone
while softened somewhat still was flat and rectangular, although with not the large slabs that the
previous application had. Once again there was opposition to the stone as it was not a dramatic
enough change to satisfy our goals of compatibility within the immediate neighborhood. ,
The applicant then, after some discussion suggested that he would change the stone to a
similar rock that is used on the new addition to the Sonnenalp Hotel. This rock would be laid up
. in a dry stack installation and after some other discussion a11 of the Board felt that since the
t .
?
applicant had satisfied our major concerns on the project and that it would be more in character
with the neighborhood and therefore received a unanimous vote of approval.
It is important to me that you understand that this was not an easy process. The project
was declined once but through the proper use of the Design Review process, it later earned an
approval. To me the applicant was cooperative and even though the end result may not have been
exactly what he wanted the home to look like, he understood our thoughts and requirements and
made the effort to comply with them.
I thank you for the opportunity to present my thoughts to you.
K / incl~st regards,

FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
DA: April 14, 1994
RE: Town Manager's Report
o ice Addifion p ate
The police department addition continues to proceed on schedule and within the budget. The
attached summary reflects the project expenditures through April 1st. The addition is should
be complete around June 1 st. At that point, the contractor will begin remodeling the existing
police.
As you are aware, there were some misunderstanding regarding a portion of the exterior
material. Specifically, T-111 was used for a portion of the exterior siding. The Vail Municipal
Code prohibits the use of this material, which we are in the process of replacing. We are
working with the contractor and architect to identify another material to replace the T-111.
Once we have selected the new material, it will be submitted to the Community Development
Department for their review and approval. The cost of this change is expected to be
approximately $12,500, which will be paid from the original project budget.
The change to the siding is scheduled to begin around April 25th. Based on advice from the
contractor, we intend to (eave the existing siding in place until the new siding is ready to be
installed.
Several Council members questioned the cost of removing the T-111 from the original portion
of the Municipal Building. The estimated cost for this work is $50,000.
Finally, during the design and review process, modifications to the west entry of the existing
building were proposed. These modifications were accepted as part of the project approval.
For your information, I have attached a copy of the conceptual plan for these improvements.
Because the proposed improvements would block several existing windows, I feel this design
should be reassessed. Unless Council has a strong desire to construct these improvements
as we planned, I intend to review this issue with the architect next week. If we can prepare a
better design, we will proceed through the process with CDD and the PEC, if necessary.
Although these improvements could be constructed as an addendum to the existing contract,
it is likely they would be built with a separate contract.
House Bill 1287
Please find the attached copy of House Bill 1287, which is currently being debated in the
Legislature. The bill allows the Colorado Department of Transportation to lease CDOT rights-
of-way to the private sector for a variety of public-private partnerships. This bill would allow
CDOT to permit private commercial uses on their rights-of-way.
The Colorado Municipal League indicated the bill had been amended to add a provision that
requires all municipalities within five miles of the affected area be notified prior to authorizing a
private commercial use. CML is currently supporting the bill as amended. Please let me
know if you wish to take a different position on this issue, so I may draft letters to
Representatives Taylor and Lattenberg.
Goals & Obiectives The goals and objectives statements are attached to this memo. They have been revised to
reflect the priorities identified by the Council at the work session last week. Unless you wish
to discuss them further, we will draft a resolution to formally adopt them at the next Council
meeting.
Grazinq Fee Issue
Several months ago Council received iwo letters concerning an effort by the Department of
Interior to increase fees charged to ranchers to use public land for grazing. At that time
Council requested staff to research this issue and report our findings. We have completed
this research, which is summarized in the attached memo from Paul Reeves.
Please let me know if you need additional information or wish us to take action on this item.
Parkinq Structure Survev
For the past two weeks we have been conducting surveys at the parking to structures. These
surveys were conducted to provide information about lighting, appearance, signs, and
courtesy of service. These data will enable us to better understand the needs and desires of
our customers. The attached pages show the results of this survey.
We are currently exploring methods to improve the lighting and cleanliness of the structures.
The results of this study will be incorporated into the FY 1995 budget.

To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development
Date: 11 April 1994
RE: Livestock grazing on public lands
In September of 1993 a local rancher, Mr. Roger W. Tilkemeier, wrote a letter regarding
Rangeland reform 1994. This letter was then followed by a letter from Mr. Andrew P. Daly,
President of Vail Associates. Both of these letters were for the Colorado Congressional
delegation, or Secretary Bruce Babbitt. These letters strongly indicated that the use of public
land is very important to all residents and visitors of the Vail Valley. The Vail Town Council
asked Environmental Health within Community Development to review the issue and report
back to them with some information.
1. Regulatory Action
, The issue of animals grazing on public lands is not a new one. Ranchers in the west have
been using public lands for grazing their livestock for decades. There are an estimated 29,000 •
ranchers who graze their animals on 280 million acres of federally owned land.
There is a proposed regulation that calls for increased fees to be paid by ranchers to graze on
public lands.. In 1991, legislation to restore the rangeland by gradually increasing grazing fees
was proposed by Rep. Mike Synar (D. Okla.). The bill passed in the House but was defeated,
for the second year in a row, by the Senate. With a new administration, President Clinton,
and Department of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, enunciate two principles: first, that
anybody who uses federal lands and water should pay a full price; second, that "non-
extractive" users of natural resources (like backpackers and fishermen) should be treated just
like miners and farmers in that they should pay to use federal lands. Secretary Babbitt has
been meeting weekly with ranchers in Gunnison, Colorado to attempt to arrive at some sort
of agreement as to how to address the issue of livestock grazing on public lands.
II. Background
According to a 1989 report by the U.S. Forest Service, 44% of the land base in the United
States, excluding Alaska, is used for grazing livestock. The percentage of federal lands
outside Alaska committed to livestock production is even higher, with grazing permitted on
1
89% of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands and 69% of. Forest Service lands.
Altogether, more than 280 million acres of federal lands are leased under federal grazing
programs. At the present time, the fees charged ranchers for the right to graze on federal lands is $1.97
per cow and her calf per month (one Animal Unit Month (AUM)) . This rate is determined
annually by a formuta set out in the 1978 Public Rangetands Improvement Act. This act was
due to expire in 1986, but was extended by the Reagan administration. The legislation that
is now proposed would gradually increase the grazing fees paid by ranchers on public lands
to the rate of grazing on private lands. The current average market value for the same grazing
privileges on private land is $9.22 per AUM. This represents an approximate increase of
$7.25 per AUM. This increase phased in over four years would have eliminated the taxpayers
subsidies of the costs associated with public land management. The income generated from
livestock grazing would have been earmarked for riparian area restoration.
One prominent issue is the 2.7 million acres of what is known as a ciparian area within the
280 million federal acres. A riparian area is the land adjacent to creeks, streams, and rivers
where vegetation is strongly influenced by the presence of water. Riparian areas may only
comprise 1% of the federal land, but are among the most productive and valuable of all lands.
' As much as 75% of the West's wildlife depend on the plants and sheltered waters of healthy
riparian areas. Diversity of vegetation is an important characteristic of riparian areas in good
condition. Woody and herbaceous plants slow flood flows and provide a protective blanket
against the erosive force of water. The foliage shields the soil from wind and sunlight, which
keeps temperatures down and reduces evaporation. The foliage also helps to keep the
temperature of the water lower, necessary for the waters ability to,support fish and other
aquatic life. The root systems bind and hold the soil in place.
For decades livestock have watered and cooled themselves in the creek and eaten the
surrounding greenery. In this process they have impacted the vital ground cover and forage
for other animals, made the waterway less hospitable for aquatic life and lowered the water -
table. The issue of, livestock grazing on public lands may appear to be a civil war of sorts with
ranchers on one side, conservationists on the other, and public agencies in the middle. The
, goal of each of these groups is actually quite similar. All are interested in maintaining a
healthy sustainable -environment either to produce livestock or produce habitat for indigenous
wildlife. In the past few years, some ranchers have taken drastic :.steps to maintain the
riparian areas by implementing a Best Management Practice (BMP) as detailed by the Forest
Service or Bureau of Land Management. i This is a very complex issue and there are almost as many opinions about a solution as there
are acres of federal land. While there are opinions that call for a complete ban on livestock
grazing on public lands, the majority of them call for a controlled multiple use of public land.
Following are some examples of opinions of Ranchers and Conservati'onists:
III. Ranchers viewpoint
- Smaller ranchers 500 head or less) can't afford to own the necessary land to
support the livestock (maybe 25-50 acres per head) so they must lease the land from
BLM, Forest Service or private land owners. ~
2
0
t
- If grazing fees are raised, it will force the smaller ranchers that depend on federal lands
into bankruptcy. This would result in more corporate ranches, more resorts, water
rights sold to cities, increased rural population, and increase the number of 35 acre
ranchettes.
- Ranching has been a way of life in the Eagle River Valley for over 100 years. Our
guests expect to see ranching activity in Eagle, County. If ranchers are forced to sell
out, subdivisions will replace ranch land.
- To raise the grazing fee on federal land to the same rate as private land is not equitable
due to the fact that private land generally is in better condition. On private land there •
is already developed water access, little or no maintenance of the land or fencing, and
the land may be able to support two times the number of livestock per acre. Federal
land is in general the land that was not homesteaded, and has less value.
- The use of public lands for the grazing of livestock plays a major role in making the
United States an agriculturally efficient country.
- Responsible livestock grazing on public lands offers many benefits for the land and
indigenous wildlife:
*Livestock grazing keeps down the forage that can turn into fuel in dry fall
weather;
* Developed water resources help make fire fighting easier;
* Water developed for livestock is used by wildlife;
*Wastes from the livestock fertilize the land, promoting new plant growth;
*The migratory patterns of the livestock replicate the patterns of the lost populations of bison, elk and other indigenous mammals;
*Having extra eyes and ears of ranch workers on the public lands helps ensure
their safety from wildfires.
- Old ranching techniques did over graze and abuse the land, however, the old abuses
are being corrected. Ranchers are deeply involved in range sciences which is only
about 30 years old. New range management techniques help protect riparian areas,
native plant and animal life, and promote soil conservation.
IV. Conservationists opinion
- The "bargain" grazing rate does not offset the amount of money necessary to maintain .
these lands, the remaining money comes from taxpayers, approximately $76 million per
year.
- The federal grazing fees account for less than 5% of the cost of bringing the beast to
market. The average rancher spends more on the electric bill for irrigation. As a result,
ranchers should be able to afford the proposed increase in grazing fees without
jeopardizing their livelihood. "
- The BLM itself considers more than 94 million acres to be in unsatisfactory condition
3
0
(4% of the surface area of the US).
- The constant presence of livestock on public lands make it nearly impossible to have
a rangeland outdoor experience without encountering animal wastes.
- Ranchers use 85% of the west's water at subsidized prices, while producing only Z%
of the beef used in the U.S..
- Bears and some livestock eat the same foods. Less food for bears may cause them to
wander more widely, causing more bear-human conflicts, with the bear coming up the
loser. . .
- Livestock trample the eggs of ground nesting birds, and loss of cover as a result of
grazing can lead to increased predation losses to birds, small mammals and other
animals.
- Poorly managed livestock grazing is the major cause of. degraded riparian habitat on
federal land. As much as 75% of indigenous wildlife depends on healthy riparian
areas. '
- Negative impacts of livestock do not stop at riparian areas, soil erosion, or stream de-
watering. Many domestie animals carry diseases for which native species have little
• or no immunity. ;
V. Coming to a compromise As previously stated there is a whole spectrum of proposed answers to this issue. Some want
no grazing on public lands, some like the system the way it is, and some want to leave the
system the way it is, but raise the fees. The real issue at hand is the preserving of our natural
public lands. This goal is at the heart of the problem, and contrary to some beliefs, this is the
goal of the rancher. Without the land, the rancher is out of a job so it only makes sense that
the ranchers will do what is necessary to maintain the land that is the source of their income.
While it seems imperative that something. needs to be done to preserve some of these areas,
it does not seem totally appropriate to just charge more for the use of all range land. A school
of thought that may have some merit would be to implement management plans, which set
performance standards designed to eliminate overgrazing and protect streamside areas, plants, .
soil, and wildlife. A method could be instituted that would not unfairly ipenalize conscientious '
ranchers, but would rather give both the agencies and the ranchers incentives to do their jobs
well. A system could be implemented where in areas that are not suffering ecological
degredation, grazing would be allowed to continue. This could be a merit system approach,
if the land has the ability to support grazing, and the rancher is implementing the BMP, the
grazing fee would stay at a lower rate. If.the rancher is not properly i'mplementing a BMP, a
higher lease rate would be appropriate. Continued violations of the BMP a rancher could lose
all rights to graze on public lands for a number of years. In a system such as this, the rancher
- would have to show the agencies that they are doing a good job to maintain the lower land
lease rate. In a broad sense this is the line of discussion noted earlier i~n Gunnisson, Colorado
between Secretary Babbitt, and ranchers. !

Planner: Andy Knudtsen •
1. BACKGROUND
(Please note changes to the memo since the February 28, 1994 review are shown in
bold.) -
On February 28th, 1994, The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) voted 6-0-
1, with Greg Amsden abstaining, recommending approval of the proposed rezoning.
There were several conditions that the PEC requested be added to the site plan and the
plot. One of them pertained to the common access on the southwest corner of the site.
The applicant was required to get approval. from .the adjacent property owners
regarding the common access. This was to be done prior to first reading at Town
Council. The two owners to the southwest of this property have decided they did not
want to share the common access. As a result, the applicant has redesigned the site
plan and provided access for building envelopes one and four from Kinnickinnick Road.
There are no new curb cuts. The two westernmost driveways have been extended
further into the site to provide access to these fiwo envelopes.
. ~
Because of the change in the site plan, the applicant has been required to return to
PEC for a revievv of the changes. All other develo ment issues remain as a reed to b
the PEC, staff, and the aaplicant durina the Februarv 28, 1994 hearinq The conditions
are Iisted at the erad of this memo. !
. II. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
- Staff believes thaf the original site plan is more comprehensive and addresses access
to neighboring properties better than the site plan proposed at this time. However, we
believe that the developer of the Pedotto property should not be required to solve an
access issue in a manner that requires adjacent property owners to approve the access .
, plan. Staff feeis that the applicant has done everything within his control to achieve
this solution; however, the neighboring property owners have not been willing to
participate. Therefore, staff recommends that the Town aliow either site plan to be
developed. Staff prefers the site plan reviewed by the PEG on February 28, 1994 with
the- shared access. However, staff does not belaeve that there are significant negative
impacts from the site plan under review for the April 11, 1994 hearing and that it shou0d
also be approved.
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant, Juanita Pedotto, and her representative, Greg Amsden, would like to rezone a
parcel of land in Intermountain from Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density Multi-,
Family. If reioned, the applicant is planning to construct nineteen dwelling units in fourteen
structures. The parcel of land is 2.49 acres. Of this, there are 2.36 acres that are considered
buildable by the Town of Vail standards. ,
In addition to a rezoning, the proposal includes a minor subdivision request. In the future, the
applicant intends to use the single family subdivision process to sell off the individual dwelling
units. Prior to this, however, the cuRently unplatted parcel must be platted as a lot. This
provides an opportunity to document building footprint locations, GRFA restrictions, and other
development standards on the plat. These standards will be listed on the plat and will be
applicable to any developer as well as future home owners. ,
Since the previous worksession, the applicant has deleted one single family dwelling unit from
the site plan. Another change is that the building envelopes have been deleted and replaced
with specific building footprints. Previously, a prototypical footprint was shown within an
envelope. It measured 37 feet by 37 feet. The updated footprints have been increased to 40
by 54 feet for the larger type of unit and 38 by 30 feet for the smaller type.
The footprints will be a minimum of 15 feet apart. The applicant is requesting the ability to
shift the footprints as much as ten feet, if needed. Changes in footprint location would have to
be approved by the DRB,_ Fifteen f.eet of.separation would have to be maintained for both the
structures and decks. The PEC approved these standards at the previous hearing on
February 28, 1994.
2 ,
The current site plan proposed by the applicant is made up of nineteen dwelling units in
fourteen structures. Nine of these will be single family residences. Three of them will be
single family residences with a deed restricted caretaker unit located above the garage. Four
of the dwelling units will be located in two duplexes. The total number of structures would be
fourteen. Total GRFA for these dwelling units is anticipated to be 25,900 square feet. A site
plan is attached at the end of this memo which shows where these structures would be
located. The chart below shows the break down of the structures and units:
Number of Units Number of Structures
. 9 single family g g
3 single family with EHU's 6 32 duplexes 4 2
TOTAL: 19 14
The architect has designed three styles for the fourteen structures. These are shown in the
perspective attached at the end of the memo. Each type will have the same materials, which
include a stucco first story and horizontal cedar siding on the second story. The roofs will be
shake shingles and wili have ciipped gables. There will be corbels to support the second
story cantilevers as well as the eaves. The windows will all have shutters to help create a
bavarian appearance. Though there are three different interior plans, the exterior mass and
bulk is almost identical for two of the units. Therefore, there will appear to be only two
different types of exteriors. The larger home, with the caretaker unit, will have.a footprint
measuring 40 feet by. 54 feet. The smaller home will have a footprint measuring 38 feet by 30
feet. ~
The neighboring properties to the parcel under consideration include:
North: Columbine North
East: Primary/Secondary development
South: Camelot Townhouses and single family development
West: Primary/Secondary development
The property to the. north and east is zoned Residential Cluster. The property to the south
and west is zoned Primary/Secondary. The Land Use Plan has designated the parcei under
consideration as Medium Density Residential. Per Land Use Plan, a range of seven to thirty- three units is possible based on the 2.49 acres. This translates to three to fourteen dwelling
units per acre.
IV. BACKGROUND/FORMER REQUESTS In October of 1990, the Professional Development Corporation proposed employee housing developments on several sites in the Town of Vail. The. Pedotto site was one of them. In '
their request, they proposed Medium Family Multi-Family (MDMF) zoning. In the memo dated
October 29, 1990, staff recommended that the applicant reduce the number of units on this
site to LDMF densities and maintain the amount of GRFA on the site to RC standards. The
proposal for the site is shown below:

VI. REZONING CRITERIA ,
A. Suitabilitv of the proposed zoninp.
Staff's analysis of the suitability of the proposed zoning focuses on density,
compatibility with surrounding developments, and ways that the proposed development
can be buffered from existing neighboring uses.
Staff recognizes that many of the surrounding properties adjacent to this parcel are
multi-family complexes. The applicant has estimated their densities to exceed
Residential Cluster (RC) standards and staff has confirmed this information. The
surrounding multi-family developments have densities that range from 11.3 dwelling
units per acre to 22.2 dwelling units per acre. Please see the chart below. There are
also surrounding single family and primary/secondary developments which have
densities that are lower than the proposal.
5
Name Units qrea pengity
Intertxken 39 1.80 21.6
Columbine NoAh 16 .92 17.4
Flussheim 4 .24 " 13.8
tnnsbrook 8 .36 22.2
Columbine West 7 .62 11.3
Camelot 8 .36 22.2
Though the density of the surrounding properties are higher than Residential Cluster,
the type of development (single family, duplex or multi-family) effects the way the
density appears on this site. For example, many of the developments are made up of
townhouses. Since the units are more compact than detached single family homes,
the structures do not cover as much of the site and are likely to have larger areas of
useable open space. Staff believes that the proposal should be modified to improve ,
. the amount of useable open space, to reduce the amount of asphalt, and to increase
architectural variety.within the clusters on the site.
Specifically, staff believes that Units 13 and 14, Units 7 and 8, and Units 1 and 2
should be combined. The units to be consolidated, however, should be the smaller of..
the two styles. At this time, the larger unit with the employee housing caretaker
apartment is shown in each of the three areas. We are concemed that the structures
may be too large if triplexes are created. Therefore, in addition to consolidating these
footprints, staff believes that the employee housing units should be shifted to other
footprints in the development. We believe that the variety of massing created by a
combination of units will help the development be more compatible with the
surrounding properties, as they have been developed in more of a townhouse style. In
addition, staff believes that the resulting open spaces will be larger and will be able to
accommodate additional landscaping, particularly on the northeast, northwest and
central portions of the site.
Landscaping is a key issue in staff's opinion; as the amount of density to be
considered under the rezoning proposal should be evaluated based on how it is
buffered from adjacent properties. Staff is primarily concerned about the perimeter of
the site. .
- At this time, the applicant has committed to the following:
1. Six clusters of aspen located around the perimeter of the project along
Bellflower and Kinnickinnick. These clusters range from three to eight
aspen each.
2. On the east end of the site, there will be ten to twelve aspen along
Basingdale.

".r_:•x::rnEia'l.erl":5;~.L.'s' . , . .
.r. '
'.i: .
3. Two planting areas of aspen made up of a total of fifteen to twenty trees
' will be located next to the Camelot Townhouses.
Staff understands that the drawings submitted to the Design Review Board (DRB) will _
inc lu de a d di tion a l lan dscaping and that the landscaping shown on these plans reflects
. . • the basic landscaping needed to buffer adjacent properties. The landscaping listed
. above must be incorporated into the DRB drawings and'must be planted prior to
issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the dwelling unit adjacent to the
landscaping. .
Another key issue that relates to landscaping is the preservation of the green space in
the center portion of the site. Since the last worksession with the Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC), the applicant has had an environmental
assessment (EA) done for the wetland area. This report is attached to the back of this
memo and deiineates the boundary of the wetland area as well as a 10 foot buffer
. area along all sides of the wetlands. The map from the EA was drawn on the previous
plan which showed a buiiding footprint within the buffer area. This has been corrected.
The revised location sites the building outside the buffer area. Staff believes that any
rezoning approval should be conditioned with a requirement that the consultant retum
to the site in the spring or summer to confirm that his analysis made during winter
. months is accurate. Any modifications that would be generated by the consultant
would have to. be included into the site plan. Building footprints would have to be
shifted if the update indicates that they are located in the buffer area. lf the footprints
need to be shifted, staff believes the project should be reconsidered by the PEC.
There are some large existing aspen in this area adjacent to the wetland area to the .
west. They range in size from two inch caliper to eight inch caliper. Staff believes that
: any trees that can be transplanted should be. If they are to be cut down, they should
. be replaced on a 1:1 ratio based on the caliper of the tres to be removed. For
example, and eight inch caliper tree would have to be replaced with two 4 inch caliper
. trees. Staff believes this is reasonable since larger trees do not transplant well
according to the Town's Landscape Architect.
: Staff understands that the applicant desires to change the zoning from . Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density Multi Family to allow additional units,
. not necessarily more GRFA or site coverage. The applicant has agreed to reduce the
amount of GRFA to below Primary/Secondary standards and maintain the amount of
site coverage and height to Primary/Secondary standards. These restrictions will be
recorded as plat restrictions. Staff does not have a problem with the number of units if
they can be sited in such a way to provide adequate open space, buffering and
minimal ;site coverage. In order to achieve this, we believe a more clustered design
concept is necessary. We feel an adequate landscape plan has been provided, the
„ wetland area has been protected, and that unit layout is good as long as the units are
combined as suggested above. ;
: B. Is the Amendment Providinq a Convenient WorCable RelationshiQ with Land
Uses Consistent With Municipal Obiectives?
. . - . • 7
,i~~ :r - ' ' , ' - .
Under this criteria, staff has evaluated the rezoning proposal to ensure that it will
provide workable relationships to those properties around the site. In addition, the
. rezoning proposal must be consistent with the Municipal Objectives. Ensuring that the
. future development will have a reasonably compatible relationship with the existing
. neighborhood has been the focus of much of this review. On January 17, 1994, there -
was a neighbofiood meeting attended by approximately thirty neighbors. Attached to
_ the memo are all of the letters that have been received by staff ,from the neighbors.
, - The primary concerns of the neighbors seem to revolve around pedestrian safety and
traffic safety. Staff has contacted the Police Department and the Public Works -
Departrnent since the neighborhood. meeting to ask them to look at increasing patrol as
well as increasing the number of stop signs in the area This appears to be a problem
that needs to be solved independent of the rezoning issue.
However, the proposal will.have some positive impact on these issues, since there will
be public improvements made by the developer. The Town is requiring the developer
to provide a sidewalk that will run the length of the property. The applicant is
proposing a 6 foot wide walk that will be detached from the edge of pavement on
Kinnickinnick. The Town is requiring that this be a hard surface wafk that can be
, maintained during winter months. It will be the responsibility of the homeowners
association to keep the walk clear. This is a Town wide requirement that applies to all
developments that have adjacent sidewalks. The applicant is proposing a cinder walk;
however, staff believes it must be hard surface. Please see the plat restrictions at the
end of this memo regarding the sidewalk and other public improvements.
A concem related to safety involves the number of curb cuts on Basingdale, Bellflower,
and Kinnickinnick. Originally, the applicant had submitted a plan; with five curb cuts on,
Kinnickinnick and three on Bellflower and Basingdale. Since the, original submittal, the
architect has removed all curb cuts off of Basingdale and Bellflower. Staff believes
that this is a significant improvement as the driveways were previously located
relatively close to the intersections.
At this time there are five curb cuts for the entire project which access from
Kinnickinnick. These curti cuts access shared driveways. Staff believes that the
revisetl plan provides a more efficient use of the site and leaves more of the landas
landscaped area and open space. Though there has not been an increase in the
- number of curb cuts on Kinnickinnick from what was originally submitted, staff believes
, . there is an opportunity to improve the situation. By relocating the access to Building
Envelope #1 from Kinnickinnick to the shared access on the southwest comer of the
site, there would be more open space around Building Envelope #1, and one less curb
cut on Kinnickinnick. Staff believes that this wouid be an improvement.
Another concem of the neighborhood involved parking, storage, and general
appearance of the project. The neighbors were concemed that individuals living in this
development wouid not have ad e quate parkin g and that addi ti o n a l c ars w o u l d be ,
° :parked in the neighboring parking lots. Staff has reviewed this concern with the
' developer and believes that the two car garages for ~each unit and the driveways in
front of each unit will accommodate the parking demand. An alternative would be to
_r create a parking lot for guests. However, staff believes that the parking apron in front .
of each garage can accommodate guests most of the time.
: 8
Regarding storage, during the neighborhood meeting it was suggested that there be an
area on the side of each garage for bicycles and other miscellaneous items. The
applicant has designed one of the garages to be 480 square feet. The drawings show
a template of a Suburban and a Cherokee to indicate how much of the garage will be
taken up by automobiles. The remaining area of the garage will be available for
. storage, and staff believes that this will be an adequate amount. One of the goals with
the storage area was to ensure that the two parking spaces will always be available for
- parking. Though this cannot be guaranteed, staff believes that providing the storage
that is shown on the drawings is a reasonable assurance that the spaces will be
availabte. Staff believes it is critical that the other units (with garages approximately
387 square feet in size) be expanded to the size of the larger garage.
A significant concem to the planning staff was how the developer was going to work
out agreements with the neighbors adjacent to the southwest comer of the site
conceming parking and access. Currently, there are parking and driveway
encroachments onto the Pedotto property by the neighbors. The applicant has worked
closely with the two existing homeowners in this area and has worked out agreements
with them for shared access. This access also includes a fire truck turnaround. All of
the driveway in this area will be paved. The adjacent owners will share the expenses
with the devetoper. Staff believes that this is an excellent resolution to a problem that
has occurred for some time. Staff wants to emphasize the positive benefits that result
from the solution have been negotiated by the applicant.
One of the final issues of concern by the neighbors involves the appearance of the
project. The applicant has provided prototypical elevations as well as a perspective of
three homes sharing one driveway. Staff believes that the design character of the
homes is positive, including the materials, detailing and general massing.
Staff believes that the three employee housing units proposed in this development are
consistent with the Land Use Plans goals of the Town to have employee housing units
added to our community. We believe that this component of the development
addresses a larger community need. By dispersing the three deed restricted employee
housing units among the nineteen dwelling units, staff believes that there is a good
balance of free market and employee units within the development. Attached to the
end of this memo are employee housing restrictions that have been tailored for this
development. They are based on the Type III EHU; however, they do not include
provisions that allow the sale of the employee housing unit.
C. Does the Rezoninp Provide for the Growth of an Orderlv Viable Communitv?
In order to ensure that the future development on the rezoned parcel will be developed
in an orderly manner, staff has prepared the following plat restrictions which will be
located on the plat and recorded at the County Clerk and Recorder:
9
Plat Restrictions _

6. No-fences shall be allowed on this property. 7. Phasing - The applicant shall provide the employee housing units according to
the phases shown below. :
10 ;
A. Prior to the issuance of a final CO or TCO for any dwelling unit located
on Building Footprints #1 through #6, the applicant shall secure a final
Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the
first of three deed restricted employee housing units.
B. Prior to requesting a final CO or TCO for any dwelling unit on Building
Footprints 7, 8, 9 or 10, the applicant shall secure a final CO or TCO for
- the second of three deed restricted EHU for the development.
C.. Prior to requesting a final CO or TCO for any dwe{ling unit located on-
Building Footprints 11, 12, 13, or 14, the applicant shall secure a final .
CO or TCO for the third of three deed restricted employee housing units.
The Fire Department and Public Works Department have reviewed the proposal and
support the project with the following conditions.
Fire Department
1. The fire access easement on the southwest corner of the site must be defined
and then recorded at the County Clerk and Recorder prior to DRB approval of
any dwelling unit if a common access on the southwest comer of the site is
provided. The easement must be posted in field with "No Parking" signs. Staff
. will allow the site plan reviewed by the PEC on February 28,1994 or the
site plan revised on April 11, 1994 to be constructed.
2. All driveway surfaces must be "all weather driving surfaces."
3. Hydrants must be installed according to Town of Vail standards.
Public Works
.1.. Detailed regrading and landscape plans for the sidewalk and right-of-way area
must be provided prior to a DRB hearing for any dwelling units. The Town
Engineer is requiring sidewalks, curb, gutter, storm sewer, inlets, engineering-
drawings and/or grading plans to be provided by the developer.
2. Easements must be dedicated for the sidewalks, drainage, utilities, road side
ditches, streetlights, etc. prior to a DRB hearing for any dwelling unit.
D. Does the rezoninq complv with the Vail Land Use Plan?
Staff has listed the relevant goals and objectives from the Land Use Plan below:
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.
11
1_2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources
should be protected as the Town grows.
1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed
. areas (infill areas).
5_1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing,
- platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist.
5_5 The existing employee housing base should be preserved and upgraded.
Additional employee housing needs should be accommodated at varied sites
throughout the community. ;
The Land Use Plan designates this site as Medium Density Residential. Under this
designation, the dwelling units allowed on this site range from 7 to 33. Based on the
MDR designation, staff believes some increase in units by rezoning is reasonable.
The goals and objectives in the Land Use Plan describe development generally like the
, one being proposed. Goals 1.12 and 5.1 call for infill development that is not located
in hazards. This plan complies with these goals. Also, the Land Use Plan calls for
' additional employee housing, which will be included in this proposal. Staff believes the
three employee housing units proposed are positive. ,
VII. MINAR SUBDIVISION CRITERIA
The Subdivision Regulations in the zoning ordinance establish minimum standards for
the creation or moaiification of lots., The Subdivision Regulations allow for the divisiom
of existing lots with the creation of new lots froan previously unplatted properties. The
zoning ordinance establishes the requirements for lot dimension, lot size and road
frontage. These zoning standards have been met by the Pedotto proposal. The zoning
code requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet of buildable; area. The proposed
lot size is 102,788 square feet of buildable area. The minimum frontage required is 30
linear feet on a public right-of-way. The proposed frontage is approximately 1,000
linear feet. There is also a requirement that the lot be able to enclose a shape 80 feet
by 80 feet within its boundaries. This standard has also been fulfilled.
In addition to the specific standards listed in the Zoning Code, the Subdivision
Regulations have purpose statements which are also criteria to review subdivision
proposals. The purpose statements of the general provisioris in the Subdivision
Regulations (Section 17.04.010(A and B)) are provided below: .
"17.04.010 - Purpose.
;
A. The Subdivision Regulations contained in this title have been
prepared and enacted in accordance with Title 31, Article 23, Part
of C.R.S., 1973. For the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of ttie Town of
Vail, Colorado.
12
B. To these ends, the regulations are intended to protect the
environment to ensure efficient circulation, adequate
improvements, sufficient open space, and in general, to assist the
orderly, efficient and integrated development of the Town. These
regulations also provide for the proper arrangement of streets and
ensure proper.distribution of population. The regulations also
coordinate the need for public services with governmental
- improvement programs. The standards for design and
construction of improvements are hereby setforth to ensure .
adequate and convenient traffic circulation, utilities, emergency
. access, drainage, recreation, and light and air. Also intended is the
improvement of land records and surveys, plans and plats, and to
safeguard the interests of the public and subdivider and provide
common protection for the purchasers; and to regulate other
matters and the Town Planning and Environmental Commission
and Town Council may deem necessary in order to protect the best
interests of the public:'
The proposed plat will be taking a currently unplatted parcel and creating it as Lot 1,
Innsbrook Meadows. Staff believes that the change from an unplatted parcel to a -
platted !ot will not negatively impact the criteria listed above. As part of the
subdivision approval, the design and construction of improvements in the public right-
of-way will be reviewed by the Town Engineer. The developer will be fully responsible
'for providing a public sidewalk and drainage facilities adjacent to this parcel. Staff
believes that these requirements fulfill the standards listed above.
The Subdivision Regulations are further intended to serve the following specific
purposes (17.040.010 (C)):
101. To inform each subdivider of the standards and criteria by which
development and proposals will be evaluated and to provide
information as to the type and extent of improvements required."
The developer is fully aware of the requirements of the subdivision.
1'2. To provide for the subdivision of property in the future without conflict
with development on adjacent land." -
Staff has evaluated the proposed rezoning and subdivision proposal relative to the
surrounding properties. As previously discussed in this memo, the developments to
the north of the site all exceed the proposed densities. Furthermore, staff has worked
closely with the developer, the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department on
the proposed site plan. The site plan_ will be recorded at the Eagle County Clerk and
Recorder's Office as an exhibit to the Innsbrook Meadows plat. The site plan has been
carefully designed to minimize conflicts with developments on adjacent land, to
preserve the environmentally sensitive area in the center of the site, and to ensure that
all future development will be in compliance with Town standards.
13
993. To protect and cor?serve the va{ue of land throughout the municipality and
the value of buiidings and irnprovements on that land."
Staff believes that future development, in accordance with the proposed site plan and
plat, wiU not adverse{y affect the value of buiidings and improvements in the
. surrounding area. ,
- 9'4. To ensure that subdivision of properties Is in compliance with the Town's
zoning ordinance, to achieve a harmonious, convenient, workable.
re9ationship among land uses, consistent with municipal development
ob)ectives."
As discussed previousiy in this memo, the proposed rezoning and devetopment on the
replatted lot will be in conformance with the proposed zone district of Low Density
Multi-Family (LDMF). _
995. To guide public and private policy and action in ordet to provide
aaiequate and efficient transportation, water, sevvage, schools,
parks, playgrounds, recreational and other public requirements and
facilities and generally to provide that public facilities will have
su$ficient capacity to serve the proposed subdivision:'
Staff believes that the review by the Public Works Department has identified a91 issues °
such as transportation, water, sewage, etc. and that the existing infrastructure wilt be
able accommodate the new development. The developer will be responsible for
providing drainage improvements and sidewalk improvements on the perimeter of this
site. These will tie in with existing improvements in the area ind Hriil be consistent w6th
the work the Towrn has done in the Intermountaon neighborhood in :the recent past.
196. To provide for accurate legal descriptions of nevvly subdivided land
and to establish reasonable and desirabie construction design
stanc9ards arad procedures."
The applicant will be requesting Single Family Subdivision review for each unit as at is
constructed. Once the foundation has been poured, the applicant will be able to submit
" a Single Family Sumdivision application for that site. Staff befieves~that using the
Single Family Subdivision process, the land will be further subdivided in conforruiance
with the Town standards. 7. To prevent the poltution of air, streams, ponds, and to assure
adequacy of drainage facilities, to safeguard the water table and to
encourage the wise use and rnanagement of natural resources throughout the municipality in.order to preserve the integrity,
stability, and beauty of the community and the value of the land."
Staff believes that the environmentai assessment done for the central wetland area of
the site adequately discusses the issues associated with that area. : The wetland area
has been delineated and a buffer area has been added to further protect the green
14
space. A condition of approval of the rezoning is that the consultant who provided the
environmental assessmerot return to the site in spring or summer to verify his
estimates. Staff understands that during winter months, accurate wetland delineations
cannot be done. If there is any change to his original estimates, the applicant will have
. to return to the PEC with the site plan modifications. The verification must be done
prior to any issuance of a building permit for this property.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATtON
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and minor subdivision. The minor
subdivision approval will be contingent on approval o#, the re2oning. We believe the proposed
LDMF zoning is consistent with the rezoning criteria and subdivision criteria and will be
compatible with the surrounding properties. Specificaiiy, staff believes that the requested
zoning is suitable for the site given that it will be integrated into the neighborhood per the
design of the site plan. We belive that the request provides for workable relationships with
surrounding land uses and is consistent with municipal objectives. Specifically, it is consistent ,
with five different goals as well as the MDR land use designation of the Town's Land Use
Plan. Finally, staff believes that the plat restrictions will insure that the development will
contribute the viability of the community. The proposed subdivision meets all of the platting
requirements of the Zoning Code as well as the purpose section of the subdivision section.
Therefore staff recommends approval with the conditions that:
(Please note that the conditions shown below in bold reflect the changes per the
Planning and Environmental Commission.)
1. The developer shall submit the subdivision plat, site plan, and recording fees to
the Town prior to issuance of any building permit for a structure on this
property. The plat and site plan shall include the plat restrictions listed betow
and all future development shall conform to these. a. All construction shall confortn to the standards listed below and shall compty with the building
footprints shown on the attached site plan.
b. There must be a minimum 15 foot separation between structures, induding all dedcs and
cantilevered portions, but exduding eaves. Atter the construction of the ffrst structure and prior
to any subsequent building permit applications, the applicant must provide survey information
verifying the Ixation of previously buih structures to show that the 15 foot separation requirement
shall be met given the constructlon of the proposed unit(s).
c. The height limitation for the development on this parcel shall be lowered from the 38 feet allowed by
LDMF zoning to 33 feet.
d. All driveways to be constructed on this site shall not exceed 8% slope.

I map not be able to attend the neighborhood meetinq this • evening, so-I wanted to convey my fee.lings on the groposed
, development on the Pedotto prcperty.
I have to say that I don't uaderstand the opposition which
is beinq mounted to the development, since it seems to me
to coavey a verp residential fsaling, ;ahich is what I think . most people in Intermountain are l:oping to have, insofar
as it is possible with the condominium projects already in
the neiqhborhood. .
. I think it is a goo3 idea to b+iild single family homes,
since.that is what fa.uilies in Vail vant now that we are .
coming of age. The families that have lived here lonq
` enough have qrown fron renting apartmeats, to cwainq
cendoniniums, than d•splexes and ultimately single familp ' homes. Regardless of ahet'r.er or not that is the best use
-of our limite3 space, that is what peopla want. Buildirig the homes for sale, rather than rental, also adds
to the residential qsality of the rroject.
I thir.k the revised site plan appears to be an improvement
aesthetically on the oricinal site plan.
As I mer.tioned at the work sessioa in
concern would re that a rezonir, December, my onlp
so that the natura of the ce•~elopr~er,t~ceuldsnot balchanqedly~ '
once the ir,creased density Was approved.
I'm sairy that I might not be able to attend the meetinq,
since so often only-negative vcices are heard at these
. meetinqs. If I can ge= away from my other appointnent
ear2y enough, I will be there. '

Re: VJedand Analysis - Pedotto Property
West Vail
Dear Mr. Knudtsen:
-The above-referenced property was inspected on .January 19, 1994, to determine whether
wetlands occur on the site. This inspection was conducted with Greg Amsden of Christopher
Denton Real Estate and Russell Forest, Town of Vail staff.
This analysis must be considered preliminary because of snow, which covered most understory
vegetation. Therefore, shrubs and trees were used to indicate potential wetland areas, along with
site hydrology along a stream.
The results of the field inspection are provided in the attached letter report. '
Please-contact me at 1-299-7836 if you have questions on the information providedl herein.

of the site shall be transplanted or replaced on a 1:1 ratio based on the caliper

To The Planning and Environmental Commission, Town of Vaif,

[ must fodge, in the strongest possible terms, my protest to your convening a planntng ~(=~S
and zoning worksession regarding the rezoning of the "Pedotto parcel" in .
Intermountain during whai is certainly one of the Valley's most busy periods.
( received your notice for an initial meeting on the 13th of December and.was able to
: take tims to atfend. [ spent ons and. one half hours waiting for ttie "request for worksession" on the 2850 Kinnickinnick parcel to come on to the agenda. After the
first item of the agenda had not been finished, it was evident that the meeting was
going to progress slow(y. ( had not planneci to spending the entire afternoon at the
meeting and had to leave. In addition, I was frustrated by the fact that I couid not find
anyone in the front office of the building who knew what a"request for worksession"
,-was. (f the request was a minor proceduraf matter, might ii not, more democraiically,
. have been disposed off at the beginning of the meeting? ff "a request for worksession
~ is a scheduling matter should it not be statedlas such. !n addition, I have not received -
~ a mailed notice of the meeting on 20th December although i;was on your list to receive
' a notice about the in;tial meeting. ;
! am unabie to attend the meefing on Monday the 20th as I have had prior work
commitments for over 4 months: I am very interes?ed in the proposal as ! live at 2833
Kinnickinn;ck m3 and my residence looks out across Kinnickinnick road at the property
in*question. . .
~I am not unfavorabiy disposed to the devefopment of the Pedotto parcel as I believe
` that suitabfe development of a significant portion of this land will impcove the_
. Inte:mouniian neighborhood. Furthermore, I am very encouraged by the open
. discourse fhat your department nurtures regarding all of Vaii's planning questions. I
do not feel that I have adequate information regarding this development and, at this .
_ time, I am opposed to the plan as. outlined in your memorandum of Dec. 13. I feel that
the timing of your_worksession on this property is most inappropriate. The
~
- neighborhood in question is certain(y a"working" neighborhood and most residents =wil! be very inconvenienced by this meeting if, indeed, they are ab(e to attend at all. :
,
Shou(d there be any question that the submittal or scheduling of this worksession has,
in any way been atfected by the above concerns i wiii tuliy pursve my legal aliernatives. In addition, I.wil( become vociferous and obstreperous in my opposition .

RE: Pedotto Parcel Rezoning
The Pedotto parcel is being presented for your review and approval for rezoning.
The proposal shows 14 buildings They are being presented as affordable housing
for young families at approximately $315,000 for each home; but we feel that this
is somewhat out of the range of most young families and that, in fact, these homes
will become second homes. As a result we will have additional non-resident
owners. While we do not object to non-resident owners, we would like to see
InterMountain remain the last bastion of local ownership in the Vail Valley. At
this time the majority of the people who live in InterMountain are local and we feel
that retaining primary/secondary zoning will maintain this permanent resident
nature of this neighborhood.
Although the present zoning allows for six primary/secondary duplexes on 6
15,000 sq. ft. lots; we feel that the size of these buildings would be more in
keeping with the surrounding area which consists of townhomes and condominiums
than 14 small alpine buildings that do not fit into the architecture of the
neighborhood.
As residents of InterMountain we would like to ask that you deny this request for
rezoning. We are very much aware that this area will be developed and we have
tried to give our input. It is of utmost concern to the residents of this neighborhood
that a formal traffic study be undertaken to actually know the amount of traffic that
is evident in this area. Seven road cuts off of Kinnikinnick, which presently has
an exceptional amount of traffic seems to only add to the danger of negotiating the
streets in InterMountain. With all due respect,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: Aprii 19, 1994
SUBJECT: Appeal of Design Review Board approval of the Kempf demo/rebuild ,
duplex with Type II EHU and two 250 GRFA additions located at 1358
Vail Valley Drive/Lot 21, Block 3, Vail Valley 1 st Filing.
,
Applicant: Chris Kempf
Appellant: Dr. and Mrs. Kochman
Planner: Randy Stouder
On February 14, 1994, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) approved the
applicant's application for a conditional use permit to allow a Type II employee housing unit on
the property described above. Dalton Williams made the motion for approval with a directive
to the Design Review Board (DRB) to carefully review the architecture of this project to ensure
that it would be harmonious with the character of the Town of Vail. Jeff Bowen seconded the
motion and a vote of 7-0 approved the request for the conditional use permit.
The DRB first reviewed the Kempf's application as a conceptual item in January of 1994. On
March 16, 1994, the DRB considered the applicant's redevelopment proposal. Sally Brainerd
stepped down from the DRB stating that she was representing the Kochmans who are the
adjacent property owners on the east side of the subject property. At that meeting, Rohn
Robbins, attorney for the Kochmans, was also present.
The two main topics of discussion at the meeting were the general architectural design and
the concerns of the Kochmans regarding impacts to their views of the Gore Range. Rohn
Robbins and Sally Brainerd presented several options to modify the proposed duplex and site
plan so that the Kochmans' views would be partially restored. Mike Arnett, Chairman of the
DRB, stated that the purpose of the DRB was to enforce the Design Review Guidelines and
that it was not within their purview to protect views for adjacent properties.
The discussion then turned to the architecture of the proposed duplex. The DRB was split on
opinions regarding the architecture of the project with two members in support of the
application and two members voicing concerns about the basic architectural compatibility with
the surrounding community as well as the relationships to different architectural features on
the house to each other. A motion was made to approve the application as submitted with a
change to the stone work on the first floor. The change being that large granite panels would ~
be replaced by, smaller limestone panels. The motion was seconded and a vote was taken.
The vote was split 2-2. Thus, the motion failed and the application was denied.
1
T
The applicant.resubmitted an application to the DRB for a hearing on April 6, 1994. At the
April 6th DRB meeting, both the Kempfs and the Kochmans had legal counsel present and
Sally Brainerd once again stepped down from the Board as she was representing the
Kochmans' interests. The topics of discussion at this meeting were the same as at the first
DRB meeting. The two basic issues were the impacts to the Kochmans' views of the Gore Range and the basic architectural style or concept of the duplex. The applicant's architect,
Bill Pierce, after hearing the concerns of the DRB members that had previously been in opposition to the application, suggested several changes. The changes were as follows:
1. The retaining wall adjacent to the primary unit's garage would be stepped to
reduce its height to meet Code. ,
2. The stone on the first level of both the primary and secondary units woufd be
changed to a Colorado moss rock with a sandstone cap.
3. Deck railings would be changed to 1/2 inch diameter vertical round steel tubing
on 4 inch centers.
The members that had previously been in opposition to the application were satisfied with the
changes made by the applicant. They felt the roof form and the stone work were more
compatible with the moss rock. Bob Borne made a motion to approve the Kempf application
with the three changes noted above as conditions of approval, along with a fourth condition
that required Chris Kempf, or his representative, to return to the DRB at their next meeting
and report on any progress made as far as negotiations between the Kochmans and the
Kempfs regarding the view issue. Bob clarified the fourth condition stating that he was not
requiring a compromise to be reached, but he was hoping that both parties might be able to
come to some sort of agreement outside of the purview of the DRB. This condition to report
back to the DRB would have nothing to do with the actual approval. There was no
requirement that a compromise be achieved between the two parties for the approval to be
valid. Hans Woldrich seconded the motion and a vote of 4-0 approved the motion with Sally
Brainerd abstaining.
On April 8, 1994, the Community Development Department of the Town of Vail received a
letter from Rohn Robbins representing the. Kochmans. This letter is attached to the packet
along with the PEC memo and minutes from the approval of the conditional use permit. The
letter received from Rohn Robbins on April 8th asks ttiat the Town Council review the Kempf
redevelopment proposal. The Kochmans are within their right to call up this item as adjacent
property owners. Please note, pertinent sections of the Design Review Guidelines have been
attached for the Council's convenience.

Re: Kempf - New Duplex and two 250 requests
for demo/rebuild of duplex with EHU.RS - 1358
Vail Valley Drive/ Lot 21, Block 3, Vail
Valley lst Filing.
This office represents Dr. Marvin and Mrs. Roz Kochman in
association with their opposition to the above application by Mr.
Chris and Mrs. Karen Kempf. Dr. and Mrs. Kochman are the
immediately adjacent property owners to the west of the Kempf
property. As you may or may not know, the Kempf application,.
after failing to pass DRB scrutiny on March 23, 1994, received
the board's qualified sanction at its following meeting.on April
6th.
While we speak specifically for Dr. and Mrs. Kochman, we
believe we speak too as the voice o.f the East Village community
and on behalf of the general welfare in voicing objection to the
application as proposed.
While Dr. and Mrs. Kochman concede that the proposed
redevelopment is generally within applicable zoning ordinances,
they object to.the project upon two general grounds. First, the
Kochman's protest that the Kempf project, as designed, entirely
obliterates the Kochman's spectacular eastern view to the Gore
Range. The Kochman's have no secondary view. While their
protest is based in part upon aesthetics and their enjoyment of
their home, they object too upon the grounds that the
redevelopment, if it is permitted to go forward in its present
state, will substantially reduce the value of the Kochman home.
In attempting to ameliorate the detrimental effects of the
proposed redevelopment, the Kochmans have communicated to the
Kempfs through their representatives that the Kochmans would be
1 '
willing to pay for the costs of modifying the Kempf proposal such
that at least part of the view would be preserved.
Specifically, the Kochmans have proposed that the Kempf
redevelopment be moved three feet to the south of its present
proposed configuration, that the roof height be uniformly lowered
one foot and that the northwest roof line be slightly modified.
It is our understanding through discussions with both the
Kochmans's architectural consultant as well as Kempf's that the
proposals detailed above would not significantly effect the
living space within the proposed redevelopment. Further, the
modifications would cost the Kempfs nothing in that the Kochman's
have offered to pay for the costs of architectural redesign.
The second grounds upon which the Kochmans based their
objection is more general to the community. Simply stated, the
proposed duplex is ugly, massive and in no way keeping with the
preexisting character of the East Vail community. The two main
buildings are barn-like in appearance with towering gambrel roofs
and are connected by an "institutional," modernistic structure
that in form is in conflict with the rustic, barn-like structures
to which it runs. It is the Kochman's opinion that the Kempf
redevelopment, if permitted to go forward, will compromise the
architectural integrity of the community and will negatively
impact the value of the immediately adjacent and near properties.
In light of the forgoing, Dr. and Mrs. Kochman respectfully
request that consideration of the Kempf redevelopment be brought
before full session of the Council for its consideration and
deliberation.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
DUNN, ABPLANALP & CHRISTENSEN, P.C.

18.54.010 Intent. Vail is a town with a unique natural setting, internationally
known for its natural beauty, alpine environment, and the
compatibility of man-made structures with the environment.
These characteristics have caused a significant number of visitors
to come to Vail with many visitors eventually becoming perma-
~nent residents participating in community life.
These factors constitute an important economic base for the
town, both for those who earn their living here and for those who
view the town as a precious physical possession. The town council ,
finds that new development and redevelopment can have a
substantial impact on the character of an area in which it is
located. Some'harmful effects of one land use upon another can
be prevented through zoning, subdivision controls, and building
codes. Other aspects of development are more subtle and less
amenable to exact rules put into operation without regard to
specific development proposals. Among these are the general
, j form of the land before and after development, the spatial

' relationships of structures and open spaces to land uses within the
vicinity and the town, and the appearance of buildings and open
spaces as they contribute to the area as it is being developed and
redeveloped. In order to provide for the timely exercise of
judgment in the public interest in the evaluation of the design of
new development and redevelopment, the town council has
/created a design review board (DRB) and design criteria.
Therefore, in order to preserve the natural beauty of the town and its setting, to protect the welfare of the community, to
maintain the values created in the community, to protect and
, enhance land and property, for the promotion of health, safety,
and general welfare in the community, and to attain the objectives
set out in this section; the improvement or alteration of open
space, exterior design of all new development, and all modifi-
cations to existing development shall be subject to design review
as specified in this chapter. ' It is the intent of these guidelines to leave as much design
freedom as possible to the individual designer while at the same
time maintaining the remarkable natural beauty of the area by
creating structures which are designed to complement both their
individual sites and surroundings.
The objectives of design review shall be as follows:
A. To recognize the interdependence of the public welfare and
j aesthetics, and to provide a method by which this inter-
dependence may continue to benefit its citizens and visitors;
B. To allow for the development of public and private property
which is in harmony with the desired character of the town as
defined by the guidelines herein provided;
C. To prevent the unnecessary destruction or blighting of the
natural landscape; -
D. To ensure that the architectural design, location, configura-
tion materials, colors, and overall treatment of built-up and
open spaces have been designed so that they relate harmo-
niously to the natural landforms and native vegetation, the '
town's overall appearance, with surrounding development
and with officially approved plans or guidelines, if any, for
the areas in which the structures are proposed to be located.
E. To protect neighboring property owners and users by making
sure that reasonable provision has been made for such

. 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 colors, and compliance with

ZONING ~
2. Any building site in Vail is likely to have its own unique
land forms 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 in-tact, 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 require-
_ ments resulting from development shall be designed to
blend into the existing or natural 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.
3. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation
shall be limited to removal of those essential for develop-
ment of the site or those identif ed as diseased. 4. All areas disturbed during construction shall be re-
vegetated. If necessary, 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-
. struction.
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.
C. Building materials and design.
L Building materials shall be predominantly natural such
as wood siding, wood shakes, and native stone. Brick is
. acceptable. Where stpcco is utilized, gross textures and
• surface features that appear to imitate other materials
shall be avoided. Concrete surfaces shall be treated with texture and color if used, however exposed aggregate is
~ more acceptable than raw concrete. Neither aluminum .

. DESIGN REVIEW
T
steel, or plastic siding, nor simulated stone or brick shall
be permitted. Plywood siding shall not be permitted.
Z` The same orsimilar 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 thc site
and surrounding buildings. Natural colors (earth 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-reflective. ,
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 s.olar exposure should be integral to the
roof design.
5. Roof lines should be designed so as not to deposit snow
on parking areas, trash storage areas, stairways, decks .
and balconies, or entryways. Secondary roofs, snow clips,
and snow guards should be utilized to protect these areas
from mof snow shedding if necessary.
6. Roof surfacing materials shall be compatible with the side
and surrounding builaings. The predominant roof materials
utilized shall be wood shakes and their use is suongly
encouraged. The use of inetal rnofs is acceptable, however
. in no instance will metal rnofs which reflect direct sunlight
onto an adjacent property be.permitted. If inetal roofs are
used they shall be surFaced with a low-gloss finish or
capable of weathering to a dull finish. Metal roofs shall
generally have a standing seam in order to provide some
to the roof surface and be of a heavY gau8e. ASPhalt
f
and fiberglass shingles shall be pennitted provided that they
weigh no less than three hundred gounds per roofing square
foot and are of a design and color to be compatible with the
requirements of Section 18.54.050.

Department recommends approval of the conditional use permit based upon the following
factors: A. Consideration of Factors:
Before acYing on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Enviranmental
Commission (PEC) shall consider the factors with respect to the_proposed use:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development obiectives of the
Town.
When the Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study on
November 20, 1990, it recognized the need to increase the supply of housing.
The Town encourages EHU's as a means of providing quality living conditions
` and expanding the supply of employee housing for both year round aild
seasonal local residents. The proposed unit will have a positive impact on the
Town's housing needs.
, 2. The effect of the use on li ht and air distribution of o ulation,,
transportation facilities utilities.schoofs, parks and recreation facilities,
and other public facilities needs.
Staff believes that there will be little impact from the proposed Type II EHU on
light, air, population, transportation, utilities, schools or parks.
3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to conqestion, automotive and pedestrian safetv and convenienee. traffic flow and control, access,
maneuverabilitv and removal of snow from the street and par!<inq areas.
' The employee unit maximum alfowed occupancy is two aersons plus a child not
older than sixteen years. Staff believes that the amount of traffic generated by
one to three residents would be insignificant relative to the amount of
automobile traffic that currently utilizes Vail Valley Drive. The site currently has
two driveway cuts onto Vail Valley Drive. Both of the driveway cuts are
proposed to remain. No additional access points are proposed. The applicant
proposes ten parking spaces on the property, one of which is an enciosed
parking space dedicated for the employee housing unit. Thus, all parking
should be easily accommodated on the lot.
4. Effect uqon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be
located includinq the scale and bulk.of the proposed use in retation to
surroundina uses.
The scale and bulk of the proposed structure is somewhat larger thaii those
, homes that are currently built around this lot. Although the proposed house
2
'
would be slightly larger than the existing surrounding units, it would not be out
of character with what could be expected to develop under the current zoning
requirements in this neighborhood. The applicant is proposing to build the
maximum allowable GRFA for the site. This proposal also includes an
application for approval of two additional 250 square foot residential additions.
Staff believes that the applicant's desire to construct a Type II EHU is a good
use of the square footage available on this site. The applicant is working with
the Design Review Board (DRB) to reduce the impacts associated with the
scale and bulk of the buildings, using various architectural and landscaping
techniques.
5. Emplovee Housinq Units mav be allowed as a conditional use in those
zone districts as specified by Title.l8 of the Vail Municipal Code for
Ordinance No. 27, Series of 1992, Emplovee Housinq and shall be
~ subiect to the followinp conditions:
a. It. shall be a conditional use in the Sinqle-Family Residential,
Two-Familv Residential and Primarv/Secondarv Residential zone
districts.
The subject property is located in the Two Family Residential zone
district.
b. It shall be permitted onlv on lots which comply with minimum lot
size reQUirements of the zone district in which the lot is located.
The minimum lot size for a Type II EHU in this zone district is 15,000
square feet. The applicant's property is 20,013 square feet.
c. It shall be located within, or attached to, a sinple-familv dwellinq
or be located within, or attached to, a two-familv dwellinq
pursuanf to Section 18.54.050(1) - Desian Guidelines Duqlex and
Primarv/Secondarv DeVelopment. It mav also be located in, or
attached to; an existinq qaraqe provided the aaraae is not
located within anv set6ack, and further provided that no existinq
parkinq required bv the Town of Vail Municipal Code is reduced
or eliminated. The proposed EHU will be constructed on the lower level of Unit A of
the duplex. The applicant proposes to provide a covered parking space
in the three car garage for the employee unit. No parking will be
eliminated as a result of this proposal.
3
A
d. It shall not be counted as a dwelling unit for the purposes of
calculatinp densitv. However; it shall contain kitchen facilities
and a bathroom, as defined in Chapter 18.04 - Definitions of the
Municipal Code. It shatl be permitted fo be a third dwellin unit
in addition to the two dwelling units which mav alreadv exist on
the lot. Onlv one Tvpe IF EHU shall be allowed per lot.
The proposed EHU will be the third dwelling unit on this site. It contains
full kitchen and bathroom facilities.
e. It.shall have a GRFA not less than three hundred (300 s uare
feet, nor more tlian nine hundred (900) square feet. An
applicant, however, shall tie permitted to apply to the Gommunitv
Development Department of the Town of Vail for additional
- GRFA nof to exceed five hundred (500) sQUare feet to be used in
the constructaon of the EHU. The applicant shall submit an
-application fot the additional GRFA on a form provided bv the
- Communitv Development Department: Approval or denial of the
reauest shall be made by the Desian Review Board in
accordance with Section 18.54.040. If an applicant obfiains
Design Review Board approval for 500 square feet of additional
GRFA for the EHU, he or she shall not be entitled to receive
• additional GRFA pursuant to Chapter 18.71 - Additional Gross
Residential Floor Area of this Code.for either unit on the lot. If
an aqplicant obfains Desiqn Review Board approval for not more
than 250 sQUare feet of additional GRFA for the EHU, he or she
shall be enfitled to receive additional GRFA pursuant tc~ Chaqter
18.71 - Additional Gross Residential Floor Area of this code for
one dwelling unit on the lot:
The applicant has applied for an additional 500 square feet of GRFA (2 ,
x 250's), a portion of which is to be used for the construction c>f the
EHU. Approximately 300 of the 500 square feet will be used to
construct the EHU. The additional 200 square feet of GRFA will be
used in the construction of.the duplex units. Thus, the applicant is
proposing construction which utilizes all the available.GRFA on the site
including the two 250's additional GRFA allowances which are available
for development. The Design Review Board (DRB) approval is required for the use of the two 250's. PEC approval is required for the
conditional use (Type II EHU). Staff is thus recommending that the
conditional use be contingent upon DRB approval of the two 250
. applications.
f. It shall have no more than two bedrooms.
The proposed EHU will have one bedroom.
4
g. No more than two (2) adults and one (1) child not older than
sixteen (16) vears of ape shall reside in a one (1) bedroom Type
II EHU. No more than finro 12) adults and two (2) children not
older fhan sixteen (161 vears ofi aqe shall reside in a two (2)
bedroom Type II EHU.
The proposed Type II EHU is one bedroom, thus, no more than two
adults and one child not older than sixteen years of age shall reside in
this unit. - ,
h. Each Type II EWU shall be required to have no less than one (11
parkinq space for each bedroom located therein. However, if a '
one (1) :bedroom Type II EHU exceeds six hundred (600) square
feet, it shall have two !21 parkinq spaces. All parkinQ spaces
reQUiretl by this Code shall be located on the same lot or site as
the-EHU. If no dwellinq exists upon the propertv which is
proposed for a Tvpe II EHU at the time a buildinq permit is
- = issued; or if an existinq dwellinq is to be demolished and
replaced by a new dwellinq, not less than one (1) of the qarkin4
; sqaces reauired bv this Qaraaraph shall be enclosed. A 300
spuare feet GRFA credit shaff be allowed for the construction of
one enclosed qarkinq space for the Type II EHU.
The Type II EHU residents will have access to one enclosed parking
space per the ordinance. Additional surface parking is also available.
B. Findinas:
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings
before granting a conditional use permit for an Employee Housing Unit:
1. That the proposed location of the use is 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 Title 18 of the Vail Municipal Code.
111. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

an Employee Housing Unit. Staff believes that the criteria have been met as discussed in the
memo. Regarding the findings, staff believes that finding B1 is met as the proposed use is in
5
accordance with the purposes of the zoning ordinance as well as the zone district. Finding B2
is met, in staff's opinion, as the proposed use is not detrimental to public health, sc-ifety or
welfare. Finding 63 is met, in staff's opinion, as the proposal complies with all of the
standards of the zoning code. Staff recommends approvat of the request with iwo conditions:
1) Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the proposed construction of a
duplex, the applicant shall sign deed restrictions using the appropria-te forms
provided by the Town of Vail to be recorded at the Eagle County Clerk and
Recorder's Office. The deeds shall set forth that the employee housing unit is
to be permanently restricted for employee housing.
2) This conditional use permit shall become effective only after the Design Review
Board has approved the development and approved the use of the b?vo "250's"

Please note that under Section 18.60.080 af the Town of Vail Municipal Code, the approval of
a conditional use permit shall lapse and become void if a building permit is not obtained and
construction not commenced and diligently pursued toward completion, or the use for which
the approval has been granted has not commenced within two years from when thE: approval
becomes final.

MEMORANDUM
TU: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: , Community Development Department
DATE: March 28, 1994 •
SUBJECT: A request for a site coverage variance and a conditional use permit to
allow for the expansion of library and classroom space at the Vail
Mountain School located at 3160 Katsos Ranch Road/Part of Lat 12,
Block 2, Vail Village 2nd Filing. Applicant: Vail Mountain School
Planner: Randy Stouder I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
' The Vail Mountain School is proposing a two-story expansion to the east side of the school.
Both the first and second floors will be expanded to the east and the first floor will also expand to the south. This proposed expansion will allow the enlargement of the library space
and classrooms above (1,120 square feet). Two bathrooms and a storage area (225 square
feet) are proposed along the west wall of the existing gymnasium building; the bathrooms will
be accessible from the exterior of the building. The architectural style and building materials
proposed will match the existing materials on the school and gym buildings.
The school is located in the Agricultural and Open Space zone district, which lists private
schools as a conditional use. The Agricultural and Open Space district limits site coverage to
5%. The existing school currently exceeds the allowable site coverage as a result of the
construction of the gymnasium building which previously received a site coverage variance
from the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). Thus, any exparision of the school
building requires approval of a site coverage variance and conditional use permit by the PEC.
The applicant is requesting the conditional use permit and site coverage variance to allow for
the proposed additions as described above. The applicant is requesting a variance to
allow an additional 990 square feet of site. coverage (0.4%).
' II. BACKGROUND
In October of 1978, the Town of Vail approved the operation of the Vail Mountain School with
a maximum enrollment of one hundred and ten students. The Vail Mountain School has
made numerous requests for expansion since the original approval. In November of 1979, a
request to add a lunchroom and dark room was approved. In October of 1981, the Town
approved the release of the deed restriction which set a cap of one hundred and ten students.
In October of 1983, the Town approved construction of a soccer field and in 1984, a computer .
room, language lab and kindergarten room were all added. In January of 1988,,a11 deed
1 •
f
restrictions were lifted from the property. In February 1989, a major expansion was approved.
The major expansion included construction of a gymnasium, third floor classroom area and a
gymnasium lobby. The gymnasium and some of the third floor classroom spaces were .the
only items that were actually constructed related to the 1989 expansion approval.
In March 1992, the Vail Mountain School requested approval for the expansion of tFie library,
which was also approved by the Town. In March 1992, the Town approved the expansion of
the library, which required a site coverage variance and a conditional use permit. This
expansion was never constructed, and the approvals lapsed. The current Vail Mountain
School proposal to expand the library is similar to but larger than the March 1992 expansion
request. The 1992 request involved a site coverage variance of 345 square feet; the current
proposal requires a site coverage variance of 710 square feet (library/classroom exF>ansion
only).

IV. COtdDITIONAL USE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS -
Upon review of Section 18.60, the Community Development Department recommencis
approval of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors: ,
1. Relationship and impact of the use on development objecitives of
the Town.
As is clearly demonstrated by the various approvals granted by the' TUwn of
Vail previously, the Town feels that the Vail Mountain School is an appropriate
use at its current location. The library and classroom expansions were
2
t
approved previously in March of 1992; the approvals lapsed, and the applicant has returned and is proposing a similar request. The library expansion is
proposed to meet the wide variety of needs of its student population. The
classroom expansion will not increase enrollment (currently two hundred and
nine students and twenty-eight faculty), but will aliow for more efficient use of
space and distribution of the student population throughout the building. The
proposed addition of bathrooms to the gymnasium building will allow students
and sports teams using the soccer field to access bathrooms while the school is
closed since the bathrooms will open to the exterior of the building. The
proposed expansions wilt help the school to function more effectively in serving
its student population and the recreational enthusiasts that use the soccer field
on the weekends.
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. The proposed expansion will not increase the number of students, and thus
. should not impact transportation facilities, utilities, or other public facilities, such
as parks and schools. 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.
The studenUfaculty numbers will not be increased as a result of the proposed
expansion. No additional students will be enrolled and no faculty will be added.
Thus, the applicant does not propose to change the parking layout or vehicular
access to the property. There are currently eighty-four parking spaces on the
site. The parking lot appears to work efficiently as a one way traffic flow enters
from Katsos Ranch Road and exits onto Booth FaUs Road. There is no direct
access onto the Frontage Road. Staff believes that this plan provides safe,
functional access and parking for the school.
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. Since no increase is proposed in the student population, staff does not believe
that the proposed additions will have any additional impact on the surrounding
community. The school has generally been a good neighbor since it was built
in 1980 and staff has received nothing but positive comments from neighbors
responding to the pubfic notice sent out regarding this applicatian. The library
and classroom addition will be constructed in an area of the property that is not
visible to the surrounding neighborhood or surrounding residences, and thus will
have little or no visual effect on the adjacent residential neighborhood. The
addition to the gymnasium will be visible from residences along the north and
3
4
r
west sides of the property. Staff has proposed a condition that woul(J require
the applicant to provide landscaping adjacent to this addition to help mitigate
any visual irripacts to the surrounding residences. The proposed adciitions are
small relative to the existing buildings, and will be constructed to match existing .
architecture and mat~erials.
B. Findin s
The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinQ findinqs before
arantinq a conditional use qermit: '
1. That the proposed location of the use in accord with the purposes of the
conditional use permit section of the zoning code 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 the conditional use permit section of the zoning c:ode.
V. VARIANCE CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the
Community Development Department recommends approval of the requested variance based
on the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and -structures in the vicinity.
Staff does not believe that the proposed additions will have any impact on the
surrounding neighborhood. The library and classroom expansion occurs along
the,east side of the building and is surrounded on three sides by existing
structures. This addition will be constructed in an area of the propertyr that is
not visible to the surrounding neighborhood or surrounding residences, and thus
will have little or no visual effect on the adjacent residential neighborhood. The
library addition will require the removal of three spruce trees. The applicant has
agreed to either transp4ant these trees to new locations along the east wal{ of
the proposed library addition, or to replace these trees with new spruc;e of
similar size.
The gymnasium addition connects two existing covered entryways to the
gymnasium along the western side wall. This one story addition will be partially
4
r
hidden by the steep hillside along the north side of the soccer field, but will still
be visible from residences along the north and west sides of the property. Staff
has proposed a condition that would require the applicant to provide
landscaping adjacent to this addition to help mitigate any visual impacts to the
surrounding residences. 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation
and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity
or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special •
privilege.
Staff believes that this request is consistent with previous approvals made by
the Town. The 1989 major expansion approval, allowed the applicant up to
j approximately 8% site coverage. The applicant is proposing 8.4% site
. coverage. Although this is slightly more than the Town approved in 1989, staff
feels that the proposed addition will have little or no impact on the surrounding
community. Staff does not feel that granting a site coverage variance is a grant ,
of any kind of special privilege.
Staff is in the process of amending the Zoning Code, specifically, sections
relating to the Agricultural and Open Space zone district and the Public Use
District. Once the code changes have been made and approved by the Vail
~ Town Council, the appropriate zone district for the Vail Mountain School would
- be the Public Use District. A private school such as the Vail Mountain School
. would be allowed in the Public Use District as a conditional use. The revised
code language in the Public Use District would allow the Town and the Vail
Mountain School to establish appropriate zoning controls for this specific
property.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
, population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
As discussed in the Conditional Use Criteria section of this memorandum, staff
beiieves that there will be little or no impact on transportation, traffic, public
facilities and utilities and public safety. No change to the student population,
parking, or vehicular access to,the property is proposed.
B. Findin s
The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq findinps
before prantinp a variance:
, 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district. 5
~
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimentai to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
, improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this'title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specifieci regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners
of other properties in the same district.
VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION •
Staff recommends approval of the site coverage variance and the conditional use F?ermit with
the conditions outlined below. Staff betieves that the proposal meets the criteria for a
conditional use permit in this zone district, as well as the variance criteria. Staff recommends
that once code changes have been made to the Agricultural andbpen Space and F'ublic Use
zone districts, that the Vail Mountain School should be rezoned to the Public Use District. At
a minimum, the school should develop a master plan to address future expansion
needs/desires.
Staff believes that the proposed school provides a significant benefit to the Town. ;~taff
believes that the proposal will have little or no impact on the surrounding residential
neighborhood, public facilities, traffic and transportation. Staff believes that granting the
proposed variance is consistent with past approvals granted by the Town, and that there is no
grant of special privilege to the Vail Mountain School. The public health, safety and welfare
will not be adversely effected by the proposed expansion. The strict literal=interpretation of the
site coverage requirements for this zone district would unnecessarily limit the effective
functioning of the school. Staff recommends that the following conditions of approval be imposed:
1. The applicant will propose and implement a landscaping plan to help screen the
bath room/sto rage addition. The landscaping plan shall include a minimum of four trees
and foundation plantings, to be installed along the west wall of the addition.
2. The existing three spruce trees along the east wall of the library shall be I ,
transplanted if feasible, or replaced (with like kind, size and number) to a new location
adjacent to the east wall of the proposed library addition.

Please note that, under Section 18.60.080 of the Town of Vail Zoning Code, the approval shail
lapse if construction is not commenced within two years of the date of issuance and diligently
pursued to completion, or if the use for which the permit is granted is not commenced within
two years. ,

4. A request for a site coverage variance and a conditional use permit to allow for an
expansion at the Vail Mountain School located at 3160 Katsos Ranch RoadlPart of Lot
12, Block 2, Vail Village 2nd Filing.
Applicant: Fred Otto, representing the Vail Mountain School
Planner: Randy Stouder
Randy Stouder made a presentation per the staff memo. He stated that staff was
recommending approval of this request with the two conditions outlined on Fage 6 of
the staff inemo. He stated that he had received letters from adjacent property owners
who were generally in favor of the Vail Mountain School expansion. HowevE:r, He said
that he had received a phone call. before today's meeting from a neighbor who was
concerned about the aesthetic condition of the rockfall mitigation berm.
Randy raised a question about staff Condition 1 which calted for landscaping along the '
wall of the bath roo m/sto rage addition proposed along the gymnasium building.
Pam Hopkins stated that the school had two hundred students and that the soccer
leagues from all over the Valley utilize the field. She said that it would be difficult to
keep any landscaping alive due to the amount of foot traffic in this area. She stated
that the soccer players use all of this open area for practice; incfuding the wall of the
gym which they use as a backboard. She said that she was looking into planting on
top of the existing berm. She added that every year the students add landsraping to
the site. She said that there was only so much one could do with the playing field.
She asked that.Condition #1 be deleted which stated that the applicant will propose
and implement a landscaping plan to help screen the bathroom/storage addition. The
landscaping ptan shall include a minimum of four trees and foundation plantings, to be
installed along the west wall of the addition.
Greg Amsden stated that he agreed with Pam concerning Condition 1. Bob Armour
also agreed that Condition 1 should be eliminated from the approval of this item. Jeff
and Allison had no further comments. Kathy Langenwalter agreed with Greg's and
Bob's comments. She fett the DRB should review the site plan for landscaping issues.
Prior to the motion, Planning Commission members discussed the proposed addition.
The members felt that the proposed expansion was modest in size and would fit in well
with the existing building. The commission felt that the scale of the proposed addition
was well within the scale of the overall school building. They fett that the proposed
additions would blend in well with the existing buifding and would be well screened
from adjacent neighbors by the existing building. The staff noted that the proposed
expansion was very similar to an expansion that received a site coverage variance in
mid-1992. The previous proposal also involved expanding the library and classroom
area to the east.
As a result of the comment made by staff regarding one citizens concern over the
rockfall mitigafion berm, the commission asked several questions of staff. Commission
wanted to know what the condition of the existing rock fall mitigation berm was, and
whether the berm was still necessary since the Town had constructed a larger rock fall
Planning and Environmentel Commission
. March 28, 1994 4
i
t
mitigation berm higher up on the hill above the school and adjacent neighborhood.
. Pam Hopkins stated that a portion of the berm had been removed to allow for the
development of the gymnasium building. She discussed the general condition of the
berm stating that the black fabric material sticking out the side of the berm was a part
of its construction and was necessary for the integrity of the berm. She discussed the
condition of the fence on top of the berm as stated that it was in a bad state of repair
and that she would look into either repairing or removing #he chain link fence
altogether. She stated that Vail Mountain School was open to the possibility or
removing this berm if it was determined that the mitigation berm constructed higher up.
on the mountain would adequately protect the school. She remained concerned about
liability issues related to removing this berm.
Greg Amsden made a motion to approve the requested site coverage variance and
conditional use permit per the staff inemo with the deletion of Condition 1 of the staff
memo. Jeff Bowen seconded the motion and a 5-0 vote approved this request. The
PEC cited the compatibility of the expansion with the building and the minimal impact
to the site and adjacent property owners. It was also felt that the expansion was very
similar to the previous conditional use and site coverage variance which had expired.
5. A request for a worksession setback variance to allow for an expansion to the residence located at 4295 Nugget Lane/Lot 7, Bighorn Estates.
Applicant: Margaret Gross
Planner: Randy Stouder
Randy Stouder stated that Bill Hein was present to represent the owner. He made a
presentation per the staff memo. The applicant wished to encroach within 5 feet of the
property line rather than the 4 feet stated in the staff memo.
Bill Hein stated they were attempting to preserve as many trees as possible on this
property and that only two trees would be removed with the proposed construction. He
stated that they would be modifying their proposal so that the proposed expansion
would extend to within 5 feet of the front property line. Bill also discussed possible
, roof changes that would be part of this request.
Greg Amsden said that he was not opposed to the deck as long as the evergreen tree
could be saved.
Jeff Bowen stated that he did not have any comments.
Allison Lassoe said she did not have any further comments.
Bob Armour asked how far up the tree would need to be limbed to allow people to
move around the tree on the deck.

Ladies and Gentlemer.: -
This lQ±+-er re-~,ls±es to a parcel of ground located in East Vail, specifically
described as Lot 1, Sundial Phase 1, Bighorn Fifth Addition to the Town of Vail. The subject lot is being considered for development by a local developer, and
was recently staked for the Design Review Board to view the outline of a
proposed building on the site.
8esidents of the neighborhood which surrounds the subject site strongly oppose
any development on the site; we request that the proposed development be
disapproved and we request that the Town of Vail enter into negotiatior.s +.-n
acquire the site for open space to be used as a neighberheod YxkP± park,
(1) There is a strong likelihood that much or all of the site is Wetlands,
accordance with Section 404 of 33 USC Section 1344. There is evidence Qf hydr2C
soils and much of t.he lot is cavered with hydrophytic vegetation. Mr. Mike
Claffey of the Army Corps of Engineers viewed the site during the fall of 1993,
concluded that the potential of Wetlands existed and advised that a second visit
to the site would be made in the late spring or early summer of 1994 to make a.
final determination ef the existence or non existence of Wet-lands andJor whether
a prior owner had destroyed Wetlands. This second visit has not yet occurred, therefore any development on the site would precede and tl:e:'°fore be in
violation of any ruling made by the Army Corps of Engineers.
If a 404 permit is issued for the sub ject prer rty, it is the intent of the
neighborhood to challenge such issuance with the Environmental Protection
Agency, in accordance with Section 404 (c), wherein the EPA, after hearings, may
overturn a 404 permit issued by the Corp of Engineers, for specified
circumstances.
,
(2) Our neighborhood petitioned the town to acquire the subject property, to be
used for open space, in accordance with petitions delivered on about 12 August
1993. The neighborhood has heard nothing from the town in this regard,
however we have noted that another neighborhood has petitioned for a property
to be purchased by the town and the town has ordered an appraisal of the
property for possible acquisition through purchase or condemnation. We believe
the Town of Vail has an obligation tfl trea± each ::pighborhQOd equally, and we
respectfully request that all activities and negotiatiQns which are occurring at
the other neighborhood be equally manifps±pd in our neighboncood. .
Thank you for your attention to our request. Responses should be made to Jeff
Bowen, 5047 Main Gore, 476-2701, or Pam Hopkins, 5036 Gore Circle, 476-2201.

13 July 1993 Mayor, Members of Council, Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road West
Vaii, Ca7orado 81657
Dear Madam Mayor and Members of Council:
Attached is a petition requesting that the Town of Vail acquire a
small parcel of property which is in $he center of our
neighborhood. We realize that the process of acquiring property by
the town is in it's early stages, however there is considerabie
i nterest i n devel opi ng the subj ect property, and we feel that i f i t
is not acquired' by the town shortiy, it will be acquired by a
developer and developed.
Our neighborhood is a group of townhomes, duplexes and single
family residences which are in a near circle around the subject
property.. (Piease see the attached map). Because of this and the
fact an overburdened pri vate road servi ces many of the properti es,
the su4ject parcel is a focal point, and should remain open space
or become a smal i-oark. We. al so suspect part of the property i s
wetiands, and may require a Corps of Engineers 404 Permit,for
development.
If you will agree to allow this parcel to remain open, we will
maintain it according to standards set by the town.
It should be noted that we have brought this property to the
attention of the Community Development Department, and they have
been notably helpful and very supportive. The reason we bring it
to you directly, is we are afraid that the Town of Vaii and
therefore we will lose the opportunity, if negotiations for
acquisition are not instituted immediateiy.
Thank you for consideration of our request. I

List of Temporary Art Exhibit Sites
. Below is a list of the Temporary Artwork Sites which are available for the Summer of 1994.
The sites that have an asterisks indicate that a pedestal will need to be placed on the site
before May 15, 1994 in order to avoid problems with the Town of Vail (TOV) Parks
Department planting program.
`1. Planter on the southeast corner of the Lionshead Arcade Building: This will be a perennial bed in 1994. A permanent pedestal is required and should be
placed by May 15, 1994.
*2. Planter to the east of Colorado 'Insight entry:
This area will be under construction in 1995 and will be converted to a perennial
planting bed in 1996. A temporary pedestal would need to be placed in the planter by
May 15, 1994.
3. Concrete pad at the intersection of the South Frontage Road and East Lionshead
, Circle directly to the east of Vantage Point Condominiums:
Pedestal requires some minor repairs.
'4. Landscape area in front of the Treetops Commercial Building adjacent to the East
Lionshead Circle bus stop:
This will be a perennial bed in 1994. A permanent pedestal must be placed by May
15, 1994. The existing wood/concrete block pedestal is deteriorated and needs to be
replaced.
5. Landscape area to south of the Lionshead Parking Structure along East Lionshead
Circle:
The TOV Parks department is concerned about having to mow around artwork and
possible impacts to the sprinkler system. Proposals will need to address these
concerns.
"6. Planter at the east end of East Lionshead Circle:
This will be an annual bed in 1994. A temporary pedestal must be placed on the site
by May 15, 1994. The rock wall has deteriorated in this location and needs to be
replaced.
1
L •
7. Landscape plaza between the Library and Dobson Ice Arena:
Tree roots are very shallow in this planting area. The pedestal should ailow water and
air to penetrate the soil. The bus department is requesting a modification to the plaza
to improve the bus pedestrian traffic flow which may result in construction in 1995.
This should be kept in mind during the installation.
`8. Planter at the intersection of East Meadow Drive and Willow Bridge Road directly to
the west of Toymaker's Trail at the Village Center shops:
This site could handle at best a small piece. There are already a sign flagpole and a
tree in this bed. This bed will remain as a annual bed for now. A temporary or
permanent pedestal would be necessary. A temporary or permanent pedestal must be
placed by May 15, 1994.
9. Willow Park:
There are no specific issues with this site. The only requirement would be that the
location of the sculpture is coordinated with the TOV Parks Department.
10. Gore Creek Promenade Park:
This area will probably be under construction through a portion of the summor in 1994.
A permanent pedestal placement is preferred in a perennial area rather than in a sod
area.
11. South side of ;the Vail Transportation Center across to the north of the Sonnenalp.
There are no specific issues with this site. It is important to coordinate the artual
location and requirements for the artwork with the TOV Parks Department due to the
steep hillside.
"12. Planters in front of J. Cotter Gallery:
Annuals will be planted in front of J. Cotter Gallery. A temporary pedestal must be
placed before May 15, 1994.
13. Ted Kindell Park:
This park will be under construction through 1995. This is a good time to locate a
permanent pedestal in the park.

Dear Kr i stan, .7
.
Plesse considar this letter my proposa( to the Town of Yaii for
the creation of a des;gn for streefi lamps tn order fia complete my
project which i started at the Vaii Transportation Center,
As you knoM my or-iginal propposal calied for 15 Of the existing
straet lamps.to be moved and used eisewhere in the Town. Ten of
fihose wcuid be repleced with lamps of my oHn design to be
competible vrith the tnstalletion of the murai and the lnset wall
pieces.
1 Noufd tike to mntce e presentation of at leest I2 designs to you
and these on the Art Council xho may be interested or concerned.
From the 12 designs I wiil thett proceed to develop one design
more completely in drawings and finally es a full scate protatype
rhfch can be instelled and !tt in the Town for everyone to see.
N1y infiention is to oreate a design that can be rnanufacfiured by a
supplier wha will make thc Vail larnp on order whenever the Town
needs one. I understand that they are rsgulariy repaired and
meinteined by the 7oMn and, therefore, any lamps being replaeed
are not vested but simp?y used elsewhere. I intend to design
cpmponents whiCh ore compatible with the extsting pedestals and
poles so that the Tovrn electrieians and maintenanoe personnel can
eesily work with the lamp I have designed. I would elso strive
to keep the costs of this lamp comparable to tha cost of the
lamps now befng purchased by the Tawn.

.......ti . .
. . . . . , . . , . .
. . .
With the compietion of "Exuberance"; we now have a successful project under our belts and
its time to move on to 1994. The Town Council again funded the program with $10,000 for a
project. VVith these funds the staff recommends the following goals and objectives for the
program:
$1,000 -$1,500 1. Fund Dan Dailey to come back and do some follow-up
work on "Exuberance" which could not be covered in the
original scope of work. This includes readjustment of the
lighting system and painting behind the mural to try to get
better illumination during the day. We are continuing our
efforts to confirm the names for the plaques and they will
be paid for out of the 1994 maintenance budget. They
should be completed in the spring.
2. Continue to support the activities of the Vail Valley Arts
Council and Gallery Association and institute the
Temporary Exhibit program in the summer of 1994.
. Funds generated by the program will be put back into the
program initially to develop infrastructure such as
concrete pads and lighting. .
$3,000-$5,000 3. Fund the schematic design of Phase II new lights for the
' Transportation Center project. This has been a priority in
the past and Dan Dailey is excited about doing this.
$1,000 4. Complete a joint project with the Vail Valley Arts Council
(VVAC) and Gallery Association. This could be a mural
in the parking structure which could be largely completed
• with volunteer time and effort.
5. Projects or efforts that the Board felt must be completed:
a. Research Percent for Art Program.
b. Dedicate "Terre Haute" with the dedication of
Mayor's Park in the spring/summer of 1994.
c. Work with WAC on the Save Outdoor Sculpture
Program (SOS). The VVAC has been appointed
- as a regional organizer for this national program
which provides technical and financial support for
refurbishing outdoor sculpture.

STATE EXTENDS VAIL HOUSING GRANT TO JUNE 1995
(Vail)--A request by the Town of Vail to extend a $300,000 employee housing
grant has been approved by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. The one-
year extension, to June 30, 1995, is contained in a letter to Vail Mayor Peggy
Osterfoss from Larry Kallenberger, executive director of the Department of Local
Affairs.
The grant, originally approved by the state in November 1991, has been
extended previously because of delays in reaching community consensus on an
appropriate site development plan, according to Osterfoss. The funds are intended
to assist with pubtic improvements associated with new construction, including
roadway extensions and utility lines.
Osterfoss said she was pleased with the state's willingness to extend the grant.
"It appears the 1995 deadline will be firm, however, meaning no more extensions
thereafter," Osterfoss said. "It is certainly my hope that we can be prepared
between now and then to take advantage of this opportunity to leverage local
funds in accomplishing what the Town Council still considers to be a priority goal."
(more)
Housing Grant/Add 1
According to Kallenberger's letter, the grant will lapse on June 30, 1995 if an
affordable housing project is not under construction by that date. "Given the
amount of time being allowed to get this project underway," Kallenberger writes,
"it will not be possible to extend this offer beyond the June 30, 1995 da-te."
Osterfoss and the Town Council have expressed interest in constructing
employee housing units on the town-owned Vail Commons property as part of a
mixed use development. The 6.6 acre parcel is located in West Vail near Safeway.
The town is in the process of hiring a consultant to review land use possibilities.
For more information, contact Osterfoss at 476-0503, or Mike Mollica, town
planner for the Vail Commons site at 479-2138.

EMPLOYEE HOUSING WITHIN THE TOWN OF VAIL
SUMMARY
History
The Vail Housing Authority, a seven-member body appointed by the Town Council,
was created in February 1991 to assist in exploring available options for employee
housing. Since then, the Authority has focused on construction of a 30-plus unit
development, narrowing a list of potential sites within the town limits from 40 to
17. Financing and community consensus issues are currently under evaluation.
Jen Wright, a local developer, is the Authority's chairman.
In September 1992, the Vail Town Council passed an employee housing ordinance
which provides incentives for creation of five types of dwellings, such as studio
units, secondary duplex units, and caretaker units ranging from 300 to 1,200 sq.
ft. Those incentives may include an increase in the number of allowable dwelling
units in exchange for permanent deed restrictions on the employee units. Only full-
time employees who work a minimum of 30 hours per week in Eagle County are
eligible to lease the units. The town does not regulate rental rates.
Prior to the 1992 ordinance, the town had required owners to create and/or
permanently deed-restrict employee housing units as part of the town's design
review and planning process for lots which did not meet minimum zoning
standards. The need for additional incentives was identified, however, which
prompted passage of the full-scale employee housing ordinance in 1992. The
ordinance was developed after a review of housing policies in other resort
communities, including Telluride and Aspen..
In November 1991, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs approved a $300,000
grant to help finance public improvements associated with construction of an
employee housing development. The grant was recently extended to June 30,
1995, because of complications in getting a project underway. Neighborhood
opposition has been a consistent factor in causing the delay.
Need
In October 1990, an affordable housing study was conducted by an independent
research firm. The study identified the need for approximately 800 new units over
a two-year period within the county. In comparing 157 Town of Vail working
residents with 560 residents elsewhere within the county, the study found Vail
residents to be:
--More often seasonal residents of the area (19 percent compared to 6 percent
overall)
i,
Housing Summary .
page 2 --Younger (many in the 20-29 age group)
--Single (56 vs. 26 percent)
--Slightly lower income
--Fewer children ("no children" was 90 percent vs. 67 percent overall)
--"Newer" residents (more of six months or less)
--Different in terms of type of residence: apartments or condos were the residences of 61 percent of.Vail residents vs. 29 percent overall; rriobile
home - 0 vs. 21 percent; single-family homes - 10 vs. 27 percent
--More households rent in Vail (76 vs. 53 percent)
--High intent to remain in area --Slightly lower satisfaction with current housing (70 vs. 76 percent)
--More preference to rent expressed (35 vs. 16 percent)
The study recommended a multi-faceted public-private partnership to meet the
diverse needs for affordable housing, which covered a wide range of housing types
and income levels. •
Existing Inventory
Five units have been constructed since the employee housing ordinance was
passed in September 1992. The units are located at 315 Mill Creek Circle; 325
Mill Creek Circle; 2615 Davos Trail; 1210 Westhaven Circle; and 366 Hanson
Ranch Rd. .
Of those, four units, representing seven tenants, were occupied as of February 1,
1994. Owners of employee housing units approved after September 1992 are
required, by ordinance, to provide proof to the town that tenants residing within
those units are full-time employees in Eagle County. Those reports are due
February 1 of each year, and are submitted to the Community Development
Department. It must be noted that once an employee housing unit is created, the
town has no authority to require the unit to be occupied. In addition, rental rates
are established at the discretion of the property owner. Although records show the inventory of employee housing approved prior to 1992
stands at 24 units, with three additional units under construction, the current level
of occupancy is unknown. That's because property owners are not required by the
town to report occupancy for units approved prior to the 1992 housing or(Jinance. Earlier this year, those property owners were asked to voluntarily submit
occupancy information. Responses were received from nine of the 27 properties.
Of those, seven units, representing 11 tenants, were said to be occupied. The
status of the 15 other units are unknown.
f
i
Housing Summary
page 3
Collectively, the current inventory of permanently deed-restricted employee housing
units within the Town of Vail is 32. Known occupancy stands at 11 units,
representing 18 tenants. It should be noted that the inventory, itself, is
comparable to the number of units proposed for construction at the Mountain Bell
site, and has been created entirely through private development at no expense to
Vail taxpayers. Likewise, proposed construction of 32 units at the Mountain Bell
site was estimated to cost about $3 million, to be funded by a combination of
, private and public dollars.
Employee Housing Projects in Process (approved, but not built)
--37 units have been approved for a building west of the West Vail Lodge.
--3 caretaker units are approved for Spraddle Creek. '
--A minimum of 6 o,r a maximum of 15 caretaker units approved for Dauphinais
Project.
--4 units approved for Simba Run.
--1 unit approved for The Valley, phase II.
--6 units approved for Vail Athletic Club Special Development District.
--2 units approved for Golden Peak House Special Development District.
--3 units approved for Cornice Building Special Development District.
--A minimum of 1 and maximum of 5'caretaker units approved for Elk Meadows
- Special Development District.
Additional Options Under Review
--Vail Commons property, owned by the Town of Vail, has been identified as a site
for a mixed use development, including possibly 60 to 70 employee housing
units. Mixed uses will be studied Spring 1994.
--Public Works Facility master plan has identified several employee housing units to
be constructed on the town-owned property. First phase of master plan to .
begin Summer, 1994.
--The town is interested in exploring the purchase of existing units, although
. inventory is limited. -
--Four lots adjacent to Town Manager's house are being reviewed as potential
construction sites.
Financing
--The Housing Authority and Vail Town Council have been exploring a possible
public-private mortgage pool to help finance projects.
--The Town of Vail has received a $300,000 grant from the State of Colorado
Department of Local Affairs to be used for public improvements in
conjunction with a housing development. The grant will lapse on June 30,
1995 if an affordable housing project is not under construction by that date.

TO: Tom Moorehead
From: Kristan Pritz
Date: April 13, 1994
Re: Eliminating Special Development Districts for Low Density Zone Districts
My understanding is that Council requested that we prohibit SDDs from being used in the
following zone districts; Hillside Residential, Single Family, Duplex, Primary/Secondary.
Examples of Special Development Districts that exist in these zone districts would be the
Forest Glen and. the Dauphinais-Mosely Special Development Districts. We have also had
instances such as the Warner SDD where this zoning process was used for two or three lots.
Issues or Questions:
1. Should SDDs still be allowed in these zone districts if three or more lots are
involved in the SDD request?
2. Should SDDs be allowed in these zone districts when the SDD is used only to
achieve better site planning, i.e., there is no GRFA or density increase
requested?
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at 479-2138. Thanks for your
help on this Tom!

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLlGHTS FOR APRIL 12
Work Session Briefs --Town of Vail Mission/Vision/Goals
The Council prioritized objectives associated with 10 goal statements:
transportation; intergovernmental relations; housing; planning; growth &
development issues; infrastructure; economic development; environment;
organizational effectiveness; financial performance; and human services. Unlike
previous years, the Council has chosen to treat all 10 goals equally, with
prioritization and ranking -occurring at the action step stage. In the coming weeks,
the Council is expected to adopt the mission/vision/goals in the form of a
resolution. For a copy of the working document, contact Suzanne Silverthorn in
the Community Information Office at 479-21 15.
--Design of the Covered Bridge Renovation
Imagine the addition of a cupola or gables to Vail's coveted landmark, the Covered
Bridge. After a presentation by the Boulder firm hired ta design the renovation,
followed by comments from several residents and members from the Design
Review Board, the Town Council agreed to maintain the rustic character of the
bridge by leaving the wooden structure just.as it is. The Council opted to spend up
to $97,500 for the project, much of it to correct structural problems. The work
will include rehabilitation of some of the bridge's timbers, replacement of girders
and decking, abutment improvements, installation of pedestrian guardrails, drainage
work and streambank improvements. The work is expected to occur Sept. 12
through Nov. 4. A temporary detour bridge will be installed east of the project,
and will be re-used elsewhere when the renovation is completed. For more
information, contact Greg Hall, town engineer, at 479-2160.
--Staging of the Covered Bridge Building/License Agreement
The Council authorized use of the town's pocket park to stage demo and
construction of the Covered Bridge Building project by a private deveioper, East-
West Partners, Inc. In exchange, the developer agreed to assist the town with
crane costs up to $5,000
(more)
,
TOV/Add 1
for renovation of the Covered Bridge. Additionally, the developer will rec;onstruct
and landscape the park for a.n estimated cost of $100,000. For more information,
contact Mike IVlollica in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Chapel Bridge Project
Public Works Director Larry Grafe{ informed the Council..that bids for replacement
of the Chapel Bridge came in higher than engineer estimates. The original estimate
was $479,592. The low bidder was G.A. Western for $566,913.50. Grafel
received authorization to award the bid to G.A. Western and to negotiate
reductions in the contract to reduce the funding shortfall to_ S 168,000. i>
combination of capital reserve funds, savings from the Covered Bridge project and
other street improvements will be used to make up the difference. Grafel said the
state will fund 80 percent of the original estimate. Because the estimate was made
two years ago and prior to actual design of the project, the shortfalt is bEing
attributed primarily to inflation, price escalation, and local landscaping and design
requirements, Grafel said. One option to avoid such gaps in the future, Grafel said,
would be to design projects first before submitting grant applications for state or '
federal support. Work on the Chapel Bridge is expected to begin as early, as next
week. For more information specific to re-routing of traffic, contact Grafel at 479-
2173.
--Vail Commons Request for Proposals (RFP)
The Council approved a document soliciting proposals for the 6.6 acre town-owned
Vail Commons parcel. The town wants to hire a consultant team to assist in
development of appropriate design guidelines, a description of desired uses, a list
of transportation related issues, a conceptual analysis of the site plann'ing process
and an economic feasibility study for the area. The parcel is located in West Vail
near Safeway. The town has expressed interest in providing for a variety of
commercial-type uses on the site, plus employee housing, a day-care facility, a
possible fire station, parking, recreation and open space areas.
The town intends to hire a consultant team by June, with comp{etion of the study
in December of this year. For more information, contact Mike Mellica in i:he
Community Development Department at 479-2138.
